It's anyway kind of pointless to jam such data into OSM. Most rendering tools are happy to use multiple data sources, so someone interested in such specialized information can just get it from New York City.

That doesn't mean that it absolutely shouldn't be added to OSM, but there should be some clear motivations and benefits, not just helping (hypothetical) lazy people (that might be interested in the data) avoid a JOIN (which is hyperbole, for this data you don't even have to match anything up, just use it together with a base map).

Marijuana can be one heck of a psychedelic. For the most part it isn't because of how the typical person uses it, but if you know what you are doing... If the DEA actually understood drugs, they would have done everything possible to prevent marijuana from being deemed 'socially acceptable' (assuming I know "what the DEA thinks"). Medicalization has made it socially acceptable though, and it reflects the general social shift over the past 40 years.

Enough 'pot cookie' stories and maybe society will start really wising up as to what we're dealing with.

That's an easily correctable problem: learn the living daylights out of programming in assembler, and then C will be like a walk in the park: no more overflows, no more pointer screwups, no more forgetting to free the memory, because you'll know exactly what will happen in the chip and the memory when that code compiles.

Knowing how processors work doesn't prevent people from making mistakes.

I knew assembly long before I knew C, because I grew up on computers that were too small to run a C compiler. I've contributed to a half-dozen compilers. I've written disassemblers for weird embedded DSP chips. And by the standards of C programmers, I'm pretty paranoid.

None of this makes me superhuman. I make mistakes. I've written network-facing C code, and I've left people exposed to security holes. Want to see the carnage?

https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/pkg/xmlrpc...

That's 6 CVEs against an obscure C networking library that I wrote. Technically, none of them were found in my code (not yet). All were in the third-party XML parser that I chose to use. But that doesn't absolve me of fault, and I bet there's a few more bugs lurking in my code that could be found with modern fuzzers.

I don't care whether people use Go or Swift or D or Rust or some brand new language. But wherever C goes, bugs and security holes almost inevitably follow. It's going to take decades to reduce the proportion of C in our systems, and we ought to start now.
Do you have info on this? I am Dutch and lived a long time in Adam too; The only incident I remember/can find is the one that got shrooms banned in NL (2008). Which was a kneejerk imho. The cases I read about were almost never shrooms alone; alchohol, weed and very often also xtc, speed and cocaine were involved. People on shrooms alone are mostly not that far gone; people on alcohol are less stable in my experience. The combination is just stupid imho.
No, because Canonical's requirements go beyond trademark law, which has a notion of non-infringing use. Canonical use copyright law to force you to remove every mention of any of their trademarks, and have publicly stated that there is no tool that can remove all such references and you basically always have to ask for permission (see Mark Shuttleworth's comment, which was linked elsewhere in this discussion). That certainly doesn't meet the requirements of free software.

The explosion in suburban-style living happened (in the US) largely post-WWII, [EDIT: starting] in or around the 1950s. That's the shift I'm referring to. Living in suburbs makes it easy for kids to wander the streets (parents feel it's safe), but the design (or lack thereof) of many of them make it difficult for kids to be "independent". It's hard to be a 12-year old who wanders to the local candy store to spend your allowance when the nearest shop like that is 10 miles away because of suburban sprawl. Some areas did a better job than others of trying to make their suburbs more like towns with local shops, theaters, and such. But many did not.

Cities certainly have existed for ages, and they did allow for children to be quite autonomous. It's the post city move to the suburbs (setting aside the helicopter parent cultural shift we've had) that created a large impact on the availability of options for kids to act as independent people.

Additionally, for teens, suburbs make having their own jobs very challenging (though it can reward the entrepreneurial few who start their own service businesses like lawn mowing or raking). Again, short a car, suburbs make life difficult for them, they require the assistance of their parents or others to transport them around, which reduces their autonomy.
Containers but not Docker
I worked for a large company (in the US) a few years back, and they're in chipmaking so it's common to staff up / down based on market conditions. So what the management would do is, keep a list of people to eliminate in the next 'RIF' (reduction in force), and next time a RIF came around they'd clean house. Nobody was ever fired from that company.

Of course, as these things go, it became an verb in management speak. "Yeah, remember so-and-so? He was ok but didn't really get it so we RIFfed him last year".

> because you'll know exactly what will happen in the chip and the memory when that code compiles.

.. for the specific chip you've targeted. And possibly even the specific stepping.

And that's assuming that you're diligent enough to manually review all that assembler. Very, very few people are. This is why typesafe code was developed. This is why all those checks exist in Rust. Limitations are good. Limitations are your safety equipment. Assembler is the guy who scrambles up on the roof without tether or hardhat to "get the job done".

In the teams without a tech lead that I have seen, people just defer to the most senior/confident developer in the team to resolve deadlocks and decide between some tougher choices. That person essentially becomes a tech lead without a title.

Edit: I agree with the child comments. It makes things easier, less prone to miscommunication, and efficient to have an actual tech lead in the team.

I started with hallucinogens recreationally when I was 14 in 1967 and continued on and off till I was 28 or so. But I never was into intense partying. My experiences were usually alone, or in small groups with an occasional concert.

I was lucky to always use Magic Mushrooms that we just picked fresh. I had a friend that was a botanist that helped us with identification.

My most spiritual experiences, and by far most favorite were with mushrooms and once with mescaline. Connections to the natural world and to the people I was with became strong and positive and enduring.

I think all of my experiences have helped me see connections (I can connect the dots on many levels) and to believe in the power of the mind. I am passionate about life, family, work but I am calm and know that the little things are the little things. But I was so young it could be I am who I am and these experiences had no bearing on who I am now. I don't believe that but I am open to that possibility.

I had one bad trip on acid. It was snowing so when I closed my eyes everything was white. I was bored for 6 hours. So not a horrible experience just a waste of time.

I will say that I was lucky to experience Pink Floyd, the Grateful Dead, Uriah Heap, Ted Nugent, Jethro Tull, Bob Seger and others live on hallucinogens. And doing acid and listening to firesign theater albums was pretty cool. To this day Pink Floyd is a go to comfort band for me.

> Is it only me that thinks this law takes things way too far ?

No, this law is bat-shit insane.

You don't go to jail for modifying your car, computer or mobile phone so the reach of this law is insanely over the top.

You are however breaking the law for making illegal/unsafe modifications to your car, mobile phone; probably not your computer though.

I think it's fair to make it illegal to utilise modifications during competitive play that involves making money - it's basically a form of fraud to cheat in those circumstances.

However, if you want to mod/hack a game for your own personal enjoyment then that absolutely seems reasonable.
Isn't the underlying assumption here that the team members know everything they need to know to make a decision?

While that may be true for, say, algorithm selection, I would argue that, at least in larger organizations, there are overarching architecture or standards that need to be considered, and that it may be a waste for the individual team members to constantly keep track of.

We had a super-smart team come in a few years ago, and work very independently to come up with an awesome standalone solution that worked in no way, shape, or form with the millions of lines of installed code. There's an argument to be made that perhaps that's great and they were not constrained by legacy code, but decisions like that should be made purposefully, not based on how a few smart people who know almost nothing about the broader business or technology feel.
I despise apps that do "Always" or "Never" for Location Tracking. It's really reflective of the larger issue of control of data, but this is particularly galling when the app hasn't given you an option nor a good reason for "Always" tracking. I'm always surprised when each iOS update continues _allowing the app to define available choices_ instead of giving the consumer the "While Using" option for any app requesting location.
Yes, that is problem, therefore I avoid frameworks to have total control when bootstrapping.
Agreed.

I totally agree with you, but in birracerveza's dead comment he strongly disagrees without offering any explanation: "He is explaining the reason that he stopped going, and bringing race into the mix. That is racism."

No, that is not racism, but "many people" think that way because they have been wrongly taught to believe that any mention of race is racism, which is incorrect.

And birracerveza is one of those "many people" who really need to educate themselves by reading up on the topic of racism, starting with "Mentioning Race Doesn't Make You a Racist [1]", and continuing on to wikipedia [2] to learn what racism really is.

Hint: Ask yourself if Cbeck527 systematically oppressed anyone by "stopping going" or "bringing race into the mix"?

There is related work on dementia as well, wish I could find it. Something to do with increasing dietary ketones (using oils) to make up for glucose processing issues in people who were long term pre-diabetic.

It was a dinner conversation, where a guy was reasoning that some degenerative and autoimmune diseases were related to tissue starvation as a result of inhibited glucose processing, and he was using ketones (with some perceived success) to treat symptoms of his own auto-immune disorder.

It's not evidence or confirmation in any way, but for any biohackers out there it's something to play with.

For me the person taking the mediator role doesn't need to have "enough practical experience". The role of mediator could be someone not invested in on side of the deadlock that takes it upon them to lay out the pros and cons so that the people assuming the architect role discuss from the same premises. A mediator could also identify if there are outside demands that are uncertain that causes the deadlock. Then someone in the role as concierge could reach out and clear the uncertainty which would allow the team to unite on a sane technical choice going forward (in small increments).
I have worked in teams without a formal tech lead and yes, the most senior/confident developer would work like that (even without extra pay).

However, these teams also tended to be most consensus-driven. Decisions would take forever because there would be a tie and people would just put it aside, or they would avoid hurting other people's feelings directly (it often turned somewhat personal), etc. It was very inefficient.
Yes, either that or a dedicated sudo-enabled account. It's a slight step up from the older setups where they had a dedicated account with a common password known to all the second-level and higher techs.

It's because 90% of users don't know what they're doing and at some point will ask for support, and they probably won't be able to get the techs access when needed. It sucks for the 10% who are capable and willing to operate their servers independently.
