Can? Sure. I've heard from plenty of people that feel that way.

Just to give an alternate perspective, I'm not sure doing 'shrooms at 16 made me a better person. It definitely altered my perception of what is real, but it wasn't a useful improvement. Mostly it just made me more prone to having panic attacks. I think I could be a better person today if I had never gone through that door, at least at that point in my life. On the other hand, it's hard to say whether it was the 'shrooms or not, as many of the terrifying existential questions it drove in me are thoughts that can be found elsewhere. I'd like to try them again sometime, just a few, to test the waters, but I'm also somewhat terrified of the consequences if my reality is shaken too much at this point in my life. So it goes.
No, we've just gotten really good at interpreting our contract from the late 1700s really well.

The Lucas critique, or Campbell's law, both refer to the same concept. Any metric that becomes a target is no longer a sufficient metric.

The Constitution has been our metric for 250 years. I don't have a superior alternative, but it occurs to me that we've demanded it be a literal document, but when its our own skin on the line, we suddenly forget the inconvenient parts, and contort our minds to find absolution for something we are going to do anyways.

I’m not going to bash on psychedelics, but there does seem to be a lot of selection bias around the positive benefits of them. Like your example they can, for some people, trigger an extreme expression of latent psychological problems.

Of course the response is always to use them with guidance. Unfortunately here your options are often limited to pseudo-religious practitioners who will inadvertently prime you to have the same cliche experience most people in those circles have.

It’s for these two reasons I have avoided psychedelics completely. If I could have a guided experience from an agnostic and trained professional I would consider trying them. I’m definitely hoping the goals MAPS has come to fruition over the next few decades.

Speed seems perfectly fine to me. Two seconds startup time, everything else is pretty much instant. And it's faster than some C++ IDEs, e.g. searching and opening a file with ctrl+e is close to instant most of the time (just some occasional longer search times), whereas ctrl+, in Visual Studio is almost useless because of how long it takes until it displays files.

Got to play with one of these for a few hours 2-3 years ago, back then it was pretty easy to make a shape and upload it to the device. The cuts it made on plywood were extremely clean and it was quite fun to use! Hooked up a vacuum to it and it sucked up a lot of the wood dust, so that wasn't too much of a problem.

Only problem was I had to concentrate when moving the device around on the wood since otherwise it would move outside the allowable range and I'd have to reset it.

I'd imagine that this would be for one-off products since otherwise a true CNC machine would save more time.

The models of SBT/Gradle/Maven are broken, or at least, that's the premise for writing these build tools.

The model of Mill, Bazel, Buck, Pants are fundamentally different in very important ways which allow e.g. using a shared build cache across all the developers in a team (or even all the developers in a whole company if one takes the monorepo approach for absolutely everything). This is not something that can be retrofitted into, say, SBT or Gradle.
On the same line, you just need a taxi or a limo service, you don’t need uber & lyft. You can also call/book and have them pick you up.

I don’t think the problem is solved yet in a way that’s satisfying.
I recently discovered a vscode extension literally called "Insert Cursor at Beginning of Each Line Selected".

Super handy when you want multiple cursors to line up at the start of every line (by default vscode will wrap the cursor around to the end of the longer lines if you try to move around with the arrow keys).

There's about 20 other extensions I routinely use, which I documented at https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/switching-to-vscode-from-subl....
Wouldn't it just be Visual Studio then? We would get updates once a year instead of once a month. There are less C++ devs than JS devs. The size of the community that could contribute would shrink also.
It's not so much a professional issue as a personal one. When I get an idea and want to start taking some notes, a 10 second delay is more than enough time for me to get side-tracked by the details. So I skip VS code and open notepad instead, in the interest of getting the idea out as soon as possible. And as the complexity of the project starts to increase to the point where VS code's more advanced functionality might actually come in useful, there just never seems to be a good time to stop what I'm doing and change editors.

However, it's possible that part of your mind gets in the way of you being a better person. Just because you enjoy it doesn't mean it has any practical use. There's a reason we've evolved to not be tripping out all the time.

I think the parent is talking about the people in the "ism" of Buddhism, not the Buddha himself. I think it's similar in Christianity. We have no idea what Christ believed, but his followers sure have had some regressive attitudes towards women.

Also, I'd agree with you that Buddhism itself is not sexist. But many of the practitioners are as sexist as everyone else. We shouldn't assume that just because someone practices a certain religion or spirituality that they are perfect.
IntelliJ Ultimate is still better even for frontend and node.

Didn't someone from the Facebook executive float a paid version of Facebook in an interview recently? I'm not on Facebook but what would be a reasonable price for the services they provide right now, and would anyone pay it?
Slightly off topic but this code in example #5:

get() {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
fetch(`${baseAPI}/heroes`)
.then(response => response.json())
.then(json => resolve(json))
.catch(err => {
reject (err);
});
});
}

Why not just:

get() {
return fetch(`${baseAPI}/heroes`)
.then(response => response.json());
}

I actually checked a whole bunch of different dates. Cheapest non-stop I can find using that biketrain.net page is $1,532 r/t.
Yea, I have the mac bindings, and for me it's opt-click to add a cursor, and ctrl-g to select next duplicate of whatever I select. You can even do stuff like "move left 1 word" or "move to begin/end of line" and all cursors follow the same behavior, possibly with different movement-distances. Utterly trivial refactorings in any language (including english), and always feels far easier to understand / predict than Vim's record-and-replay (as useful as it is), especially since you can see the results in every instance as you type.

I've been using it in editors since well before VSCode existed. It's very nearly a requirement for me to use an editor now.

I find his quote believable, it jives with Noam Chomskys writings and talks on media consolidation and propaganda.

For what it's worth, looking at those catchy quotes from the past tells us how we got to today and why we are in the place we are. It's a very American conceit to dismiss the past as irrelevant.
I've been using computers for over twenty years, and I'm still yet to use the insert key on purpose. My AutoHotkey profile actually suppresses the keypress entirely, along with some media keys.
Nvidia, moreover, increasingly views its software for programming its chips, called CUDA, as a kind of vast operating system that would span all of the machine learning in the world, an operating system akin to what Microsoft (MSFT) was in the old days of PCs.

Yeah, nVidia throwing it's weight around in terms of requiring that data centers pay more to use cheap consumer gaming chips may turn out to backfire and certainly has an abusive-monopoly flavor to it.

As I've researched the field, Cuda really seems provides considerable value to the individual programmer. But making maneuvers of this sort may show the limits of that sort of advantage.

Fundamental red flag: performance/speed metrics not available, it reads like they have found a way to obtain better performance in a database + blockchain software. To probe that they should base their claims on solid research. Currently one of the best performant BFT software is BFT-SMaRt [1][2] which is not scalable to many nodes without degrading the performance significantly.

If someone wants to claim a breakthrough it would be simpler to identify current blockchain restrictions and show how they are improved. Once this is clear we can only hope that the relatively few researchers in the field take a look to see if there are obvious inconsistencies.

Show HN: UbiShell – from Ubiquity a new way to use the Web
i’m a moderately anxious person that grew up around people who were really ok with psychedelic use. i did it in college with pretty much no baggage going in... multiple times... i’ve basically never had a positive experience, and i’ve had two really bad trips that i kept getting flashbacks to in the months after. i got over both eventually.

to me acid, peyote and mushrooms just make you feel kinda sick, maybe giddy for a while and you see weird stuff. by the end you always want to go back to normal before it’s done, or at least i did. that’s why they’re not addictive usually
I use it extensively for Elixir development. It's fantastic.

“Buddhist-based mindfulness practices are used to teach dissatisfied cogs in corporate systems to suck it up”

Mindfulness practice like everything else is much more complicated. It is more than a management tool for complacency. There are times when you have to really just have to suck it up and times when you don’t. The overall goal is to stop torturing yourself about things you cannot control even if you are trapped with no options. The more you peer through delusion the less you need to suck it up. You might even start to see new possibilities where none were apparent.
When the author said that Demeter was the goddess of corn, I nearly stopped reading. Facts: Demeter was a goddess of grain and harvest.
Ergot (Claviceps species), and specifically ergot growing on rye (Secale cereale) has psychoactive properties; this ergot is liekly the source of psychedelic experience in the Elusinean Mysteries. Corn (Zea mays) was not introduced to Europe until the Columbian exchange; the fungus that grown on corn (smut, huitalacoche) is edible and not obviously psychoactive.

Whether psychedelic/unity experience makes one a better person, is an interesting question. As, too, is the question the author asked in the second half of essay, exploring the meaning of "better person" in relation to contemporary Western and Shipibo Indian cultures.

Mechanical disks are basically free in this day and age, so that's still a pretty significant savings over an SSD which is more like the price of a mechanical disk 10 years ago. You could cheap out and do a small SSD/large HDD combination, but I find that having an excessively small system drive is nothing but headaches, especially for software development where you are frequently installing different toolchains, etc. Until I can afford an SSD that is comfortably in excess of my storage requirements, then I'll stick with the HDD.

I don't get the argument that giving data to Foursquare / Swarm is somehow better.

I really do not want my information to be sold or abused by facebook.

I cant trust any of these corporations like facebook google and twitter!!
This obsession with Facebook is getting really annoying.

When I lived in the States 15 years ago Publix (and I guess other stores, or maybe my bank) already sold a list of everything I bought with my debit card to advertising agencies, along with my full name and home address. I would get ads to my house, tailored to what I had bought a few days before, I'd say at least once a week.

There are also hundreds of other companies that sell data besides Facebook.

No one is talking about the companies that _buy_ the data, either. Can't the case be made that that's unethical too, and if they didn't happily buy the data Facebook would have to find another way to make money?

My point us that it's all good to spread the word about questionable practices employed by companies that people use, but do we have to exclusively focus on Facebook forever, like it's the source of all evil and everyone else is a saint, or can we talk about someone else for a change..? Even in this article other companies are mentioned barely to prove the author's point against Facebook.

If you're FB, GOOG, AAPL, AMZN, BIDU, etc, this strategy makes sense because much like they have siloed data, they also have siloed computation graphs for which they can lovingly design artisan transistors to make the perfect craft ASIC. There's big money in this.

Or you can be like BIDU, buy 100K consumer GPUs, and put them in your datacenter. In response, Jensen altered the CUDA 9.1 licensing agreement and the EULA for Titan V such that going forward, you cannot deploy Titan V in a datacenter for anything but mining cryptocurrency, and his company reserves the right going forward to audit your use of their SW and HW at any time to force compliance with whatever rules Jensen pulled out of his butt that day after his morning weed. And that's a shame. Because there's no way any of these companies can beat the !/$ of consumer GPUs and NVDA is lying out of its a$$ to say you can't do HPC on them.

But beyond NVDA shenanigans, I think it's incredibly risky to second guess those siloed computation graphs from the outside in the hopes of anything but an acqui-hire for an internal effort. Things ended well for Nervana even if their HW didn't ship in time, but when I see a 2018 company (http://nearist.ai/k-nn-benchmarks-part-wikipedia) comparing their unavailable powerpoint processor to GPUs from 2013, and then doubling down on doing so when someone rightly points out how stupid that is, I see a beached fail whale in the making, not a threat to NVDA's Deepopoly.

Hey everyone, I'm the maintainer of UbiShell. It's a fork of a series of ports that brought Ubiquity, a very old Firefox extension, to WebExtension.

The original goal of Ubiquity was to provide a natural language way to interact with the web. With UbiShell, my goal is to provide a simple but effective shell interface, that is able to join all the various services and APIs that are found on the web.

I really believe that this approach can be incredibly powerful: it gives back control to the user, and increases immensely the speed with which you can search/parse/manipulate web entities. Even better, it's completely customizable, so you can make up your own commands!

This project is still in its infancy, but if you like it feel free to give some feedback!
Sounds like a mental illness.
tbh I wish editors would get rid of "log breakpoints". Teach people to use the conditional breakpoint and just enter `console.log(...)` instead, it's overwhelmingly more powerful. A specialized "log breakpoint" doesn't teach them that it's just code. (I've run into quite a few programmers who have known about log breakpoints for years, used them fairly heavily, but never knew you could do things in conditional breakpoints)

Want to collect all values of something as your code runs? conditional breakpoint: `x = (x || []).append(val)` and then print it whenever you feel like it. Log breakpoint? spit it out each time and... browse by hand? hope nothing's logged in between? bah.
