At some point I realised maintaining my own Emacs setup was just too much work. I've used a few Emacs setups (Prelude and Spacemacs are the ones I used for the longest) and now I use Doom: https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs It's very fast and has a lot of built-in in niceties, and I find it easier to understand than Spacemacs.

If you use Doom make sure to use the develop branch.
This only solves the smoking problem (not a small problem), but I suggest reading Alan Carr’s ‘The Only Way to Stop Smoking Permanently’. I’m not normally big on self-help books, but please bear with me.

The book mainly covers tobacco smoking, but he also explains at the end in the sections on addiction to other drugs, that you can read the whole book in relation to other drugs too, including cannabis.

The book isn’t about stopping smoking purely for the physical health benefits and only by willpower. Instead it helps you realise how addiction creates stress for you, and how smoking (whatever you smoke) never really alleviates those stresses, but actually contributes to them.

I’d also suggest trying to surround yourself with friends who are better for you and can push you in the right direction. Try and get into some extra-curricular projects with others so that you can’t slack off alone. Being in the right environment helps immensely. You have ambition, and this shouldn’t be hard to accomplish at university, and it will be a lot harder after university (as I have discovered). Make the best of it.
Buy some Treasury Bonds, and you're also privately profiting from public debt. that's how it works. You need someone to take the other side to have any debt, and there is only one government.

Other than that: you have wilfully ignored the quotes, in what is obviously a bad faith attempt at trolling.
I've done LSD and thought this was particularly interesting and insightful.

I was skeptical of the idea of trying to apply a formal framework to it, but the results of the model are the closest I've seen to an explanation of my experience.

I was particularly fascinated by time. At some point in my first (and only) trip, my unconscious 'timeline' stopped working.

The tricky thing about time is that it is always exactly right now. Conscious experience, as the author recognizes, emerges from processes that happen some time before the experience happens - e.g. I looked around the room to understand my environment, but right now, I can only see my phone and a narrow cone around that - my experience of everything else is an echo of my previous experience.

I'm concerned that the article is pseudo science bullshit - I'd love to hear other opinions from more experienced folks. Any neurologists around?

Edit: I took another look and am also very interested in the briefly mentioned memory trackers. I got the distinct feeling during my trip that I could experience my thoughts 'refreshing' themselves. It strikes me that there must be data structures encoded in the brain, and that these data structures might need to be kept alive through repetition (similar to how you might do to consciously remember a long number, for example). Feelings!= fact, so I'd love to hear other thoughts as well!

Hello,

I saw this an old post online on the Hacker News site months ago for App developers in particular folks who have some knowledge in technologies such as Python and Linux.

Well, I had completely forgot about viewing it and so I was checking out Hacker News job board today and a newer post for a full-time opening available at the US Securities & Exchange Commission for a Full stack/Python developer in the NYC area.

Well I'm someone who enjoys coding and learning with Python as far as learning purposes/hobbies go. Plus, I'm someone who has been going the self taught route trying to break into the IT field/Python Development world.

But, more than anything.. I'd looking to further learn and grow in my skills as far as Python development goes. I don't have much experience with Django Web development but feel I can learn and pick up on it as well as with any other technology requirements quickly.

After quickly reading your post on Hacker News I was encouraged and interested to reach out and contact you for more info.

So with that said, here I am..and I wanted to inquire to find out if this opening is available for those with years of experience? Or would you allow for training of junior developers to get up to speed? I had to ask because but I wasn't sure if you meant junior or for more seasoned developers.

Also, you have a contact number to learn more about this position or information on the things you require in regards to the nature of the job to increase one's chances to be a part of your startup team? Any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

If you like, please feel free to reach me at pydeveloper22@gmail.com

That's because a few years ago a website that let you login meant it was a "real" website. Look at phone systems. Every one you have to deal with says please listen carefully as our menu options have changed.

Remember: GDB is your greatest friend in this endeavor.

1. Compile the code and try to run it for known use cases.
2. Traverse through high-level functions using GDB.
3. Note down the files and functions while you are at it.
4. Read all the comments from the files you have traversed so far.
5. Check if you have covered most of the files which constitue to the majority of SOC.
6. If you don't understand a function, add a breakpoint to it and see the stacktrace.

Repeat these steps until you have not covered the whole set of files.
Lazy binding isn't without downsides, it requires internal synchronization of its own, which means it's possible to write multithreaded programs that will suffer latencies due to lock contention during symbol resolution.

Without a good importing tool (warning: the GSuite importing tools are shit), I recommend "imapsync":

https://github.com/imapsync/imapsync

After cloning the repository and installing the listed dependencies (some Perl packages available in your Brew / Ubuntu repository already), you can do:

imapsync \
--host1 imap.old.com \
--user1 "old@email.com" \
--password1 xxxxxxxxxxxxx \
--ssl1 \
--host2 imap.new.com \
--user2 "new@email.com" \
--password2 yyyyyyyyyyyyy \
--ssl2 \
--errorsmax 1000000 \
--syncinternaldates \
--useheader 'Message-Id' \
--noreleasecheck \
--noexpunge \
--automap

Works great for importing to and from Gmail, but you might want to add a folder rewrite for the Sent folder (with --f1f2).

But with FastMail, for those interested, the out of the box importing tools in their web interface work great, so no need for any command line tools.
NULL is certainly a mistake, but even more of a mistake is not allowing distinct states in variables.

NULL is just another case of a state of a variable. Other states are 1, 15, 0xffffffff, etc.

That mainstream languages don't handle this is the worst mistake of the computer industry.
I really feel VSCode is lining up to be the new goto IDE across multiple languages.

Slightly less (directly) extensible than Emacs but still feels it can do pretty much everything that needs doing, plus way nicer & friendlier default UI.
Strings are an easy case. Default initialisation to "" (empty string). You'll still encounter NULL when modelling other domains however.

Medium no longer uses a custom or proprietary font for body text. They used to use Freight Text, but now they use Bitstream Charter, which is free (in several variants):

https://practicaltypography.com/charter.html
https://www.samiam.org/blog/2014-07-04.html
https://ctan.org/pkg/xcharter?lang=en
https://software.sil.org/charis/

Charter is an excellent and very legible font. I wish more people would use it, especially in the LaTeX world, where most people stick with the to-my-eyes nearly unreadable default Computer Modern.

A few critiques of your design:

You put linebreaks in unexpected and jarring places, breaking the flow of paragraphs. For example, in the paragraph under the heading "The Hero".

You use a narrow column for body text. This is often recommended by typography nerds, but it doesn't play nicely with elements that can't be hyphenated and split across multiple lines, such as <code> spans. See eg. the paragraph under the heading "Content font". I suggest using a wider text column to make the resulting line-breaks less jarring relative to their surroundings. You might also want to enable "hyphens: auto" in your CSS, or use a JS hyphenation library (make sure to load it asynchronously so people on slow connections can still read your content while it's loading!).

And finally, there's more to typography than choosing typefaces, as I hope the above makes clear.
Some corporations seem to do adopt Chrome as an official workplace browser (next to IE). I am wondering what would it take to lobby them to adopt Firefox. Does anybody have any experience pitching Firefox inside their own company? Is Mozilla doing anything to get into the enterprise?

I see these as a more sophisticated way of dealing with NULL. It allows me to define alternative default behaviour beyond just throwing an undeclared exception.

They are still NULLs however under the hood and I still need to do the work of defining what I want to happen when they occur. It's just neater.

Disagree that it is a disaster. Nullability is explicit in the column type, so it doesn't have the "billion dollar mistake".

The last part is true, it did suck for a while. But I can't say "no fault but their own". Even if they rocked, they would have taken a big hit: chrome was advertised for a long time, and at no cost, using solicitating prompts directly on the most consultated and trusted web page in the world.

It's already there, if you know enough to recognize it:

> The degree Celsius (°C) can refer to a specific temperature on the Celsius scale or a unit to indicate a difference between two temperatures

In other words, you can add a quantity of °C to a temperature value and you'll get another temperature value. But you can't measure a temperature in °C.

Compare how, for example, the python datetime library uses a datetime type and a timedelta type. A datetime plus a timedelta is a datetime. datetimes refer to points in time, and timedeltas don't.

°C measures a temperature delta, but not a temperature.

Bacteriophage are quite selective for their prey.

“To enter a host cell, bacteriophages attach to specific receptors on the surface of bacteria, including lipopolysaccharides, teichoic acids, proteins, or even flagella. This specificity means a bacteriophage can infect only certain bacteria bearing receptors to which they can bind, which in turn determines the phage's host range. Host growth conditions also influence the ability of the phage to attach and invade them.” from Wikipedia

null is often used in relational databases to be semantically equivalent to "info missing". I get that this use of null isn't ideal.

However there are quite a lot of cases where it is semantically equivalent to "not applicable"; while some of these cases can be avoided with a restructure, some can't, and in either case I don't see a compelling argument to do so.

e.g. a parent_id column that is null for top-level objects in a hierarchy. Restructuring the database to avoid this seems like moving to an unintuitive paradigm in pursuit of rule-following for its own sake.
I finally did it this year! All the scandals (dragonfly, drone programme, auto sign-in in chrome, grabbing data through auto translate, etc.) were just too much.
