In general, DPH seems like a terrible anticholinergic and obsolete antihistamine with limited uses. My ex-stepfather abused it nightly as a "sleep aid," his personality altered, became very depressed, and I think entered a pre-dementia/Alzheimer's state sooner than he would've otherwise.

Probably not a good idea to experiment personally with GHB because it's Class I in the US and associated with date-rape, but it's worth considering in studies and research.

It does seem to be the case that disordered sleep is the keystone of depression; I can also confirm missing one dose of mirtazapine at night feels exactly like an alcohol-induced hangover in the morning. I suspect depression accumulates during sleep.

Interestingly, mirtazapine is a powerful H1 antihistamine that induces sleep at lower doses that are swamped by noradrenergic effects at higher doses. I would guess patients on mirtazapine have fewer incidents of seasonal allergies.
Christians like to think of ourselves as less degraded than our neighbors, rather than less evolved. It amounts to the same thing in the end - a false superiority.
You could be very well organised in terms of rollout and distribution. But every European country is having the same problem - shortage of production and provider's incapacity to distribute it without fail. Israel case is unique, because they payed more per vaccine, thus guaranteeing the supply needed to be able to mass vaccinate the population.
> Amazon had a competition for bin-picking robots, but never got anything that could replace a few hundred thousand pickers in their fulfillment centers. There's a demand for this, but still few usable products.

There's a few spin-off companies [0][1] and probably others from that competition. It's coming, but slowly. Humans are simply too good at manipulation and robots too expensive in comparison.

Most UK citizens never fill in a tax form.

VAT is handled by shops for you.

Council tax (local tax based on property value) you are sent a bill based on the value of your property. There are various exemptions and deductions for exceptional cases, but otherwise you just pay the amount.

Income taxes are deducted by your employer from your paycheck under a system called PAYE (pay as you earn). It works basically perfectly if you have one job, and can even cope with multiple jobs, variable income, etc.

If you have an issue with incorrect income tax, there is a friendly call centre who are generally knowledgeable and can fix things with minimal effort on your part; and they also handle some common exceptions (e.g. dividend income under £10,000) over the phone rather than via a form.
I'm sure you'll find the usual blowhards explaining how Biden is personally responsible for this.
The bottleneck is vaccine production. It doesn't matter how fast you vaccinate.

Sure, Israel did a great job negotiating for vaccines, but it's a zero-sum game so only a few countries could have pulled this off.

FWIW, iPhone was an AT&T exclusive in the US for the first few years.
Controversial opinion: companies with zero profits should be encouraged, not vilified.

A company that isn't profitable means every dollar that flows into the company flows out. It flows out to other companies, to payroll, to R&D, to charities. That's where the real economic engine is -- money flowing, investment happening.

And plenty of taxes come from it, too.

Companies pay taxes when they start hoarding profits instead of investing them. That's a good thing.
Except Samsung's prices now rival the iPhone. The Samsung S21+ without a trade in is $1199. The iPhone 12 Pro Max is actually $100 cheaper at $1099.

Flagship prices seem completely ridiculous these days for minor improvements over the previous year's models or even their second-tier offerings. But consumers put such a premium on having the newest shiniest thing that the previous year's model can frequently be had for less than half the price.

Looking at unlocked iPhone retail prices for the iPhone 4 in 2011, flagship pricing has increased 3-4x the inflation rate for the same period of time.
What kind of front end do you use. Usually the spatial db is only a part of the solution, and the GIS information needs to displayed and functionality for interaction with maps and objects needs to provided. What framework would pair well with PostGis in the open source world?
The copyrightability of APIs goes back to the "structure, sequence, and organization" being copyrightable decision back in (checks Wikipedia) 1986. The application since then has been inconsistent. Essentially, there's a concept called "thin copyright" which recognizes that some copyrightable things only receive minimal protection. The canonical example here is a phone books--phone books are copyrightable, but they mostly contain non-copyrightable information (lists of phone numbers), so most copying will essentially be fair use or free.

Breyer's decision explicitly avoids deciding whether or not the SSO being copyrightable is good law, but it does essentially provide that it provides only thin copyright.

You made a technical correction. It's just daft to say that your reply doesn't have to meet the same standards as the comment you're replying to. Joking doesn't matter when you're deliberately making a serious reply.

Downvotes don't waste space, I don't see the issue. You're the one asking for meta comments.

You care way too much about karma for a single comment, you have plenty. And yes don't reply to a joke by correcting it to nobody's benefit.

"Browsers suck" is not a fringe case. And I don't think it's hypocritical to use pedantry in response to pedantry, which you started by 'correcting' a practice that works just fine here.
Great question. From a word count perspective, roughly 30% of the book is devoted to "figuring out". Ultimately, that section is about helping people recognize that it's important to choosing wants. It's true that the latter still gets more attention. I think that's in part because stories and data about making choices is more limited since it is so personal and "in people's heads" vs "in the world".
Not to mention that one can tether via Bluetooth or USB in addition to WiFi hotspot. How are they to distinguish between someone using their hotspot via either of those two transports? I don't see them having a technical means that could distinguish someone USB tethered to cell phone using its data plan from just a cell phone using LTE data.
Do you know what's cool?
Others may view the barking in a different way than you do and that could explain their different reactions. If a dog is barking out of fear scolding it may be a bad option because 1) you proved them right. They thought it was a bad situation, now you're in a bad mood and they're in trouble. Definitely a bad situation. 2) Barking and growling is a great way for dogs to communicate their discomfort before it escalates. A dog that has learned not to growl or bark will resort to other signals that are less likely to be understood by humans, and then bite.

The other owners may not give a shit, some don't, but they may be intentionally acting like it's no big deal as part of a larger strategy of changing how their dog views certain situations.

Sunstein raises an important criticism of the "free market of ideas" argument:

> No one should anyone doubt that for some falsehoods, the marketplace works exceedingly poorly; it can be the problem, not the solution, perhaps especially online. Far from being the best test of truth, the marketplace ensures that many people accept falsehoods, or that they take mere fragments of lives, or small events, as representative of some alarming or despicable whole. Behavioral science makes this point entirely clear.

Many people recognize the benefits of (1) well-functioning markets and (b) freedom of speech. However, from this, one should not assume that their combination is necessarily wise. Put another way, one should not automatically assume that existing markets (whether it be newspapers, social media, and so on) are effective ways at promoting beneficial freedom of speech in the context of a democracy.
To follow up, if I would have to imagine it for a book, this is how I would write it — why I think there needs to be better regulation/rights here.

If you're talking about just compilation then it's easy enough doing something like context-threading where you translate bytecode into a call instruction per operation to a function implementing the bytecode.

If you're talking about producing a static binary then both Rubymotion and TruffleRuby can do this.

Disclaimer: I wrote Mithril (one of the vdom frameworks mentioned in the presentation)

I like the idea of reactive programming, but it tends to add a lot of indirection. This is theoretically desirable, but not necessarily pragmatic in reality. A lot of frontend code in the wild is of the throw-away-in-a-few-years nature and it's hard to get mindshare among developers if they're required to learn stuff that feels academic when all they really care about is getting stuff shipped the next day. Being able (forced?) to tightly couple a controller and a view in Angular is one reason a lot of people like it.

I was giving a workshop on FP recently, and you'd be surprised at the number of people who still don't grok `filter`. FRP is still way over a lot of people's heads. Hopefully the industry will warm up more to the concept as React, Mithril, Meteor, etc get more popular.

@staltz WRT Cycle.js itself:

I took a look at the TodoMVC example and was surprised to see intents reading data from DOM element data attributes (e.g. https://github.com/staltz/todomvc-cycle/blob/master/js/inten... ). How does one go about doing non-string parameterized intents? For example, I often need to reference an entity from an event handler and searching for it in a collection by ID seems wasteful. In Mithril, for example, handlers can receive parameters as inputs either via closures from the view or via partial application (i.e. Function::bind). This is especially useful for event handlers that deal with relationships between two or more different entities. Is there a similar mechanism in Cycle.js?
> Telepresence has been tried. It fails. Oculus won't succeed either. Why not? Because humans value eye contact. Your Oculus won't have that, and hence it will fail for that reason.

I don't want to get in the middle of the love affair between you two, but just want to add my 2 cents that telepresence will likely play a huge role in VR over the next 5-10 years.

Technology isn't quite there yet, but there are several interesting initiatives in this area. Philip Rosedale (yes, the same Philip from Linden Labs/Second Life) has been actively researching and pushing the boundaries of facial expression with his High Fidelity project [1]. Not sure it'll ever become a consumer product, but the potential is obvious. I saw him demo'ing his alpha version earlier this year, and it was amazing. Even though it was an avatar-based chat, the fact you can see the eyes moving and the face conveying emotions, brings the experience to a whole new level, well beyond the uncanny valley.

The addition of facial expressions and other forms of body language are obvious extensions for Oculus. Case in point: they just acquired Nimble VR [2], and will likely incorporate their hand tracking technology into a future CV1 or CV2. Facial expression and eye tracking is likely a bit further down the road, but not that far.

PHP has a real glut of talented programmers right now, which is why you're seeing the same overengineering that plagues Java. Fun problems have dozens of solutions because everyone wants to work on them. Templating is just one of those. Weird, case-specific conventions are another.

So I can’t say “these people” when referring to the ones who stormed the capitol or support that treasonous act because they wrongly believe the election was stolen? Is that really just as bad as referring to black people as “these people?”

Either way that’s besides the point, I wish I had your optimism but I doubt you’ll convince anyone who is dug in and truly believes trump won this election. If you do please let me know and I’ll apologize fervently to your friends and neighbors.
FWIW, I thought it was a highly entertaining read and well written. This style of introduction followed by a 'rewind to the beginning' is pretty common in my experience, particularly in magazine articles including longform newspaper pieces, here in the UK. I don't know why anyone would associate it with clickbait - I find that strange.

If I were being hyper critical, I'd suggest maybe some kind of visual section break, like one of those stylised wavy lines - I have no idea what they're called!
I am not saying that doctors in the US are poor, quite the opposite.

They are, however, very poor (and in tons of debt) until they actually become a full doctor (which is typically in their early 30s, after they are done with med school, residency, and board exams) and extremely overworked (which still holds true for most of them even after becoming "real" doctors).

You don't hear about "poor doctors", because during the decade in which they are poor they are counted as "students" by most people, and poor students isn't exactly something surprising or eyebrow-raising for most people. It's just the magnitude of that poorness and overworking is completely invisible to most people who don't have someone in their friend group or family who just recently became a doctor.
My first modern framework was VueJS, but everyone was urging me to learn React or Angular. I have too many projects on my plate to learn the last two now that I'm deep into Vue, but I'd really like to hear how the three stack up. The reviews I've seen online aren't particular in-depth.

Is this article a case of "every framework has warts", or are this issues really that bad?

I'm an avid commuter-cyclist and weekend bike warrior and I am lucky to live in a very bike-friendly city (well, for the 8-10 months of the year that we don't have snow anyway).

I think the main issue people have with cycling is that it's not a quick fix compared to the promise of the electric car. It means a real investment in biking infrastucture and a change of mindset & funding at the national, state, and city level. It means a complete re-thinking of how the average American city is built. It means you need to actually get outside and leave the comfort of your perfectly climate controlled life. None of these things are easy for the average person to accept. We are far too spoiled.

TL;DR - It's easy to greenwash with an electric car. And people like things that are easy.
I wish more people who for some reason are otherwise forces to use a textual templating system to output would remember that every json object is a valid yaml value, so instead of fiddling with indent you just ".toJson" or "| json" or whatever is your syntax and it pull get something less brittle.

I'll never understand the argument that Trump was "silenced." As you said, he's a former US president. He has ample resources to get his word out. The only people who think he has been silenced are people who spend too much time on twitter or people who are being disingenuous.
Hi,

I've been experimenting with NFTs for a while, many people would say most of it is not true "art". I decided to make something a little more meaningful with them. My understanding is that you will either love it when you see this or you would just hate it. Launched this yesterday and I've received some early orders from friends so far. I've been also giving some away as I think this makes a great present for the right person. This is pretty much an NFT-as-a-Service for now!
It's possible to love a job without letting that job become a part of your identity. That's what it feels like FAANG is to a lot of people, particular this one for whom Google is their first job. It's not about love or not loving, it's about a healthy sense of boundaries between you and your workplace.
Many CI systems try to strictly enforce hermetic build semantics and disallow non-idempotent steps from being possible. For example, by associating build steps with an exact source code commit and categorically disallow a repeat of a successful step for that commit.
Yes. It's my 1st browser on my Macbook and iPhone. The only time I visited Warsaw was August 2013 and I remember being so excited to see a giant Firefox billboard. A decade before that I was already wrestling with infuriating IE quirks since Microsoft had literally abandoned all development on IE, and then Firefox rescued us from all that long before Chrome was a twinkle in Google's eye.

"Majority of static typing fanatics are like that."

That's not the problem. The problem is that to a first approximation, every language is "type safe" in the sense that you can't add a string to a number. Even in those languages where it looks like you can, it's because of a certain usually-limited set of automatic coercions, not because you can actually add a number to a string.

Truly adding a number to a string looks like this:

number: 0x000000000000002a
string: 0x7ffb000000007264
result: 0x7ffb00000000728e

The string is, of course, a pointer, and the result, of course, is gibberish. This is why "no" languages to speak of implement this form of "untyped language"; it isn't what anybody actually wants. (Assembler, of course, has it, but that's an exception for obvious reasons.)

A term that describes essentially 100% of languages is not a useful one, so static typing usually refers to a language whose type system is somehow more restrictive at compile time than "Everything is a variant type and we'll work it out at runtime".
I use butter and milk, so heavy cream is probably reasonably close to the same thing.

I also use real, quality cheese. Tillamook sharp cheddar and fresh-grated parmesan, by preference.
