> I am doing a version of this myself (minus the padded room), using buprenorphine under the supervision of an excellent case worker and doctor.

Wow, that's absolutely awesome.

> It's taken 5 years, but I'm down to 1.6mg from 32mg at the start, and 24 works in the future I'll be off it entirely (and taking a month off to go down to my family's holiday home on the beach here in Australia, for the final withdrawal symptoms).

Niiice. (I'm actually in .au too (Sydney area), I agree that some of the beach environments are really nice. Cool.)

> One weird thing: even with my much lower dose, the acute withdrawals every morning are mostly the same.

Hah. I figured it might be like that! (Unfortunately!)

> A little less bad, sure, but still rather terrible.

Mmm.

> I just put up with it, because it's better to be productive and able to move forward with my life after 6 years of heroin addiction than go back to where I was.

Indeed. And kudos for having the strength - as I said in my previous comment, not everyone has the willpower to strong-arm a rewired reward center into doing things completely differently.

Survival of the fittest :D

> Interestingly, opiate replacement therapy done with heroin itself has had quite good results. The downsides to buprenorphine and methadone is that the withdrawals are rather "drawn out" compared to heroin and morphine. The upside is that the fact they last so long in terms of binding is what makes them excellent at stopping a user from bouncing back and forward between the two (in theory anyway; a given users metabolism means this isn't always true. I could've easily used heroin any time during my treatment as I metabolise bupe and methadone extremely rapidly -- I just chose not to. It wasn't worth it.)

I see. Yeah, buprenorphine isn't heroin. It's very good to distance oneself.

So... when you say buprenorphine works great in terms of binding, I get the impression that you mean that the effect lasts longer, and that it is needed less frequently? That would have helpful practical ramifications, yeah.

Nice article. A little meta-study and then some practical usage compared.

Facebook is also working on ReasonML (a new front-end and some tooling for OCaml/BuckleScript) that compiles to JS and has strong typing. Stronger than either TS of Flow has.

I think in the long run ReasonML is a better approach: the underlying language (OCaml) is carefully designed, where JS seemed to have "happened".

Other options that have even stronger typing are Elm, PureScript and Haskell/GHCJS.

Here's a great article describing all the promising projects in functional/strongtypes front-end land:

That's an interesting thought. Just want to point out that complexity theory from Computer Science fits nicely into this, because it asks, not what is "possible" (e.g. finding all programs by counting all the integers), but what is possible within limited resources, like e.g. time.

A nice addition to the thought that, theoretically, even if you can find the Windows 10 source code by counting all integers, you can't actually do it within the lifetime of the universe without a smarter algorithm.
And a war on religion by science fanatics. Science is already a religion, if you ask me. There are even a lot of Messiahs: Newton, Einstein, Tesla. But also a lot of oil snake salesmen.

The happenings in the Node.js community such as forks are a positive and good thing. They let people experiment with things in a new environment.

A lot of good came from io.js (modern V8, promise integration etc). Ayo are working on interesting stuff like shared-memory workers for CPU intensive stuff.

The left-pad thing was indeed strange, but it could have equally happened with most package manager - and NPM improved for it.

Newbies being excited about something is the hallmark of a popular platform. Node.js feels like this as it graduated from a "fun project" to a popular web platform.

I think most stacks have competent and incompetent developers - making Node.js accessible is a good thing, even if it means there are more new people. At the Node.js project we're really fine with those and some "newbies" turned out to be pretty great programmers.

full disclosure: I am a Node.js collaborator.
American Christianity is thoroughly diffuse with few leaders with any literal authority. You get pastors of megachurches, but their following often wanes as they age, retire, or pass away.

Perhaps it's the decentralized organizational structure that has allowed American Christianity to fare better than its European counterparts.
Google is beholden to advertisers. You are not a customer, even when you are one, you are still the product delivered to them. Using their services is a choice but I've opted out of everything but search, and I'd like to get off of that too.

Boggles my mind how people keep thinking Google is this benevolent entity hovering over us. It's a company, with balance sheets. Nothing more.
The most terrific part is that Turks outside of Turkey (here in Germany) are now censuring themselves as they are afraid to be monitored and as a result be arrested when going to Turkey for vacations and visiting family.
It sounds like her blog post got her noticed by Google, so that's good.

However, for cases like these, where you have videos that are probably outside of the terms & conditions of Google, you should be hosting those on your own servers that you purchase the bandwidth for, not relying on a 3rd party to host.

Yes, Google has mutiple defacto monopolies that are very, very concerning. But one can still self-host on the Internet, and this person should have done that. She has her own domain, so she could have had the video on her own server.
I like to stick to real world. For example. even though on paper IIS web server is technically amazing, In the real world, no one really uses IIS as part of their web stack. (For many different reasons).

More colloquial description with background - https://rjlipton.wordpress.com/2017/09/11/a-tsp-breakthrough...
Because it makes refactoring very difficult. One of the original intentions of TDD and Unit testing was to make refactoring much easier.

If you start testing the internals of function, it makes it very difficult to refactor without breaking tons and tons tests.

We only test on publicly exposed functions, and check the changes on the data or external services.

It means we can do major refactoring's of internals, keep public functions the same but tests will still pass.

One of the biggest mistakes that happened was that kent beck was misinterpreted and Unit was considered a code unit, when really it means a unit of behaviour.
how is this possible since salt is a crystal?
Because science is a religion.

That sounds like a boring statement, but it's still true. Science in its core shouldn't be religious. But we are humans. So applying science, working as a scientist, using science (even if just for small talk) is not possible without putting some faith in unchecked results.

To some degree we are all believers. The important part is to accept that and recognize it when you are about to do something which will yield bad results for you and humanity in general.

It's a fraud for sure, but I don't see how it's any more of a fraud than most consumer tech startups these days. It has certainly gone much longer than most of them without imploding yet.
Fun fact about codecommit:
If you want to set up a mirror from other repository (eg Github), you'll have to have an ec2 instance just to deal with the mirroring (codecommit doesn't support)[1].

Yeah, no thanks, if i'll have to spend money on an EC2 instance to run my mirror, i rather use this ec2 instance to run the mirror itself (no need to spend more money with codecommit on my usecase). Also, it's really strange that codecommit doesn't offer this option, i know gitlab does.

They can't be phished because they aren't secrets. Yes, if you think of a biometric as a password it is an awful password. But it isn't; its primary source of security is the difficulty of presentation. You should not rely on the secrecy of your biometrics.

You probably don't worry very much that your loved ones have been replaced by impostors, and the reason is not that their appearance is secret! It's just that fooling your face, voice and other "biometrics" without making you suspicious would be, depending on the situation, somewhere between technologically impossible and way more expensive than it would be worth.

A secure biometric is one for which spoofing the sensor is as difficult or expensive as compromising the device hardware some other way. I agree with you that touch ID doesn't quite meet this standard, largely because device hardware has gotten much more tamper resistant in recent years! Hopefully face ID will be better. I can easily remember when it seemed absurd that normal consumer devices would ever have a chance of resisting compromise by a sophisticated adversary that had the device in their possession!

Vs. rapper, or sports player? An IG / youtube star is being a lower-middle class celebrity, which is actually a first in many ways

There are many valid criticisms of YouTube/IG stars, but is Michelle Phan really lower-middle class compared to say Nicki Minaj?! Because lots of the private-school mums I know are more than happy to watch Michelle Phan with their daughters but ban Nicki Minaj.

Replace all occurrences of "science" in the article with "scientific method", and the entire article becomes a non sequitur.

This is a classic case of painting science as a noun; as an inanimate, fixed concept which is used to increase pleasure in human lives (a religious sin), and whose materialism is in direct conflict with "moral" values.

Questioning the scientific process yet accepting its fruits is a logical blunder often committed by religious apologists. Noun-ing science into a "thing" helps hide the incongruity of this idea.

For instance, take the mobile phone, a concrete result of science. There is no question it exists. But it did not originate from a religious process. It was instead based on empirical research, making mistakes and learning from them, all built over centuries of human struggle, all to understand a little bit more of the universe that we live in. That process is science. It is just a process; not an answer or a fixed idea. It doesn't guarantee that we'll discover all the secrets of the universe. All it does is ask questions and try to find answers using logically coherent, structurally consistent, independently reproducible methods.

There is an undeniable conflict between religious belief and the scientific process. Both of them tries to find answers to questions central to human existence - what is this place? why are we here? who made it? who made us?

A thousand years ago, we were asking other questions - what are the twinkling things in the sky? who brings the rain? which god causes the plague? The scientific process has answered them well enough that today's religious beliefs have shrunk in size, and refined themselves to focus on the questions that still remain transcendental.

Their answers however are in direct conflict with what the scientific process has discovered. They claim the universe was created by an all knowing God, without a definition of what the God is, and stonewalling further enquiry into the topic. Religions do not bring any additional meaning to the discussion, and by its very nature stands in the way of the scientific process.

The closing paragraph of the article is an ominous threat - "If anything, it is science that is subject to increasing threats to its authority and social legitimacy. Given this, science needs all the friends it can get". If it led to finding more allies in the religious world for the scientific process, I think it wouldn't hurt for scientific-minded folks to bend their outward convictions a little bit. But if it means getting rid of evolution from our textbooks and teaching kids that a voyeur in the sky is watching them all the time, waiting to subject them to eternal fire, I think it would be a hard bargain to drive.

> It's not true that there's nothing new under the sun. There are some domains where there's almost nothing new. But there's a big difference between nothing and almost nothing, when it's multiplied by the area under the sun.

I found that statement the most insightful of the essay. Helped me resolve some cognitive dissonance.

Whether there really are totally new things and not just existing things in new packaging depends on which level of abstraction you stop at with when analyzing. For example, at a very high level you could say that the Internet as a whole is really just a very advanced/efficient printing press. (And automation like the printing press or assembly line, just efficiently organized production.)

That level of abstraction may be less than helpful, unless there are insights to be gleaned from where the internet is going by looking at printing press technology. Their impacts on empowering the masses are similar, but they each encouraged/enabled network effects to consolidate much power (newspapers and goog/fb) and thereby effectively countering much of the effect.
No, I really didn't.

I believe the Genesis creation story. I also believe it's a metaphysical question. Given an all powerful force, of course the universe could have been created to look any way at all, including the current configuration, fossils, evolution, and all.

The follow on questions are usually, "But how would God have done that and why?" Good questions, but not ultimately scientific ones. They are metaphysical and theological, respectively.

"That's like saying that science has no issues with homeopathy or telepathy except when they try to supress science"

No, it's not.

'Homeopathy' doesn't do anything. It posits a rational framework that is simply invalid.

Religions ultimately deal in matters of the 'soul' or whatever word you want to use that describes the nature we have beyond the material. If you want to accept the current 'Scientific Materialist' premise to it's full extent, then you must accept that you are a 'bag of random particles' and that there can be no 'live' 'love' 'culture' 'thought' or even 'intelligence' - after all none of those things can exist in pure randomness.

We all (well, almost all) believe that we are 'alive' - implying that life is something beyond the crude material, and it's the obvious 'fail' of materialism as a workable world view.

The 'trunk' of the tree of science as posited by Descartes is 'physics' - but the 'root' is metaphysics. Sometimes we forget the roots because they don't fit well into equations :) :)

Luther is pretty much defined by his opposition to the Catholic church. One of his complaints is that the Catholic church applies reason to scripture (in the form of a millienium and a half of philosophical and theological debate within the church, at Luther's time) instead of just taking it literally, as it was written. You can't quote him and generalize to all religion from that.

In theory FreeBSD supports a sane aio_read/write/fsync() implementation by extending sigevent to include the generation of kqueue events, but there are no aio_open/close/fstat/rename() syscalls and if you need a thread pool to deal with those remaining blocking file system calls there are few advantages to using the in-kernel thread pool implementing the aio_*() syscalls. An other problem is that filesystem aio calls are limited to local file systems, because accesses to network file systems could block indefinitely starving local file system accesses by blocking all threads in the pool.
