Addiction and dependency are two different things.

Addiction is the "thirst", the cravings for a drug/behavior. Addiction can be a form of psychosis. Addiction by itself never kills anyone but drives people to behaviors that can be fatal, such as ignoring the dangers of acquiring the drug.

Dependency is the adjustment of the patient's body to the drug, requiring both higher doses to attain the same result and a maladjusted state when the drug is not taken. Withdrawal is what happens when a person that is dependent on a drug does not get their drug, and in the case of Xanax, could be fatal.

Addiction can cause dependency, and dependency can cause addiction, but they are not the same.
That's really difficult to put into words effectively... I'll try.

I'm not aware of any thoughts or feelings while I'm in the moment I'm in that state. It's not about me. It's about everything going on around me. I'm in the mental place of an observer - In that state I'm evaluating everything from an academic standpoint. Self isn't a state I analyze in that moment except from perhaps a diagnostic analysis. If someone were to ask me right in that moment how I feel, I would never be able to truthfully tell them. If you asked me right this second how I feel, I don't have an answer for you - when I'm in diagnostic mode, my emotions are... unavailable, or like trying to divide by zero, undefined.
Thats a false dilemma. You can have sandboxing without running pseudo-applications in a document viewer and without walled gardens.

For every Syd Barrett, how many hundreds if not thousands of people play with these compounds, and don't end up there?

This kind of thinking scans to me like pointing at the severity of plane crashes as a reason not to fly, while poo-poohing their infrequency.

I have, for about a decade now, worked with a number of groups who ritually consume some of the most powerful psychedelics on the planet. I have journeyed with hundreds of different people, and seen truly adverse reactions, where it was more than just a bad trip and the person needed medical attention, all of once.

EDIT: Yes, absolutely, there are risks, but in my experience, they can almost all be mitigated with a little honesty and self-awareness. Maybe don't play with these things by yourself if you have a family history of some kinds of mental illness. Maybe don't play with them at all if you're on certain medications, or have certain, other mental health concerns.

>`ifTrue` and `else` are extension methods added to the `Boolean` type.

You don't seem to understand what this discussion is about. Extension functions in Kotlin are statically dispatched, so while they are a nice feature, they are completely irrelevant here.

It's not about how your invocation code looks like. The important part is that at some point the code needs to make a decision whether to invoke "if" case or "else" case. Smalltalk achieves this by having two objects/classes (True and False) that handle the same message differently. The implementation of those objects does not have a hidden control flow statement. Your code would.

> 1910 battery tech was pretty primitive.

The whole electric powertrain was primitive.

The motor speed controller was essentially a giant multi-tap resistor (such a motor controller is still used for most automobile HVAC blower speed control, because it is cheap to manufacture - though PWM systems are becoming more common in newer vehicles).

Electric motors were brushed series or shunt wound devices (not permanent magnet, not brushless, not multi-phased). Today's electric cars are virtually all 3-phase systems with a controller that converts from DC to 3-phase AC, with appropriate brushless motors.

Major power losses all along the way, coupled with poor battery technology. It is honestly amazing that they were able to get any workable range at all in the vehicles that were manufactured.
Thanks for correcting my ignorance! Definitely a stupid statement on my part. The process looks pretty solid. What is confusing is who the Rust Team is and how the project is sponsored. Is it all volunteer like C++ or is there some sponsorship involved?
Agreed. I had a friend in high-school who was very smart, 2-years ahead in math, well-spoken and thoughtful.

After some amount of different hallucinogens he became lastingly weird. He would start saying things about "divine geometry" and "seeing yellow auras" when he closed his eyes and became a big believer in all sorts of supernatural (e.g. horoscopes)

He did come back to something not too far from normalcy maybe 8 years later, last time I heard from him.
Ask HN: As indie-developer, which code-signing do you use for your .exe files?
Your customers download your software as .exe (or ZIP containing the .exe, or an installer that eventually installs your .exe program).

When they first open the software (that needs to run as administrator to fully work), they see:

"Windows SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting..."

and then a second message:

"Do you want to allow this app from unknown publisher to make changes to this computer?"

This doesn't look good for a customer who buys a product.

What code-signing solution do you use to avoid this?

* certum.eu

* digicert.com marketed as "As low as 474$/year" (!)

all look quite expensive for an indie developer.

Which solution do you use/recommend?

PS: The project LetsEncrypt is not involved in code-signing, and a forum post confirms they don't want to get involved in it.

Maybe the high-growth companies should try not to abandon their employees rather than putting the onus on employees to not be abandoned. This could be done with some careful planning as they grow, but most of the high-growth companies I've experienced have their employees as priority number N (for some high value of N) and the actual growth, profits, etc. as priorities 1 to N-1.

The primary feature of a $299 desktop is the $299 price. That it is fixable and upgradeable is largely incidental. You are right though, I should have said Apple is supporting the needs of most people who value what Apple offers in a computer (OSX, physical form, etc). They aren’t going to boost their market share by adding swappanle graphics cards to the iMac or a j-mouse nub to the MacBook.
The 27" iMac used to have upgradable RAM, but the text for the new version says "configurable to 64 GB", not "upgradable" like it used to. I'd love to be proven wrong, though, I'm considering getting an iMac.

I knew someone once who took a lot of LSD. Her line was that LSD was the most economical of the drugs, because after a while, the effects would happen even when you weren't taking them. I thought this sounded more similar to "permanent brain damage".
I don't think they have a pool of instances at all.

It's a generalized image which they boot up for you. Cloning the image, even though it is many gigabytes, takes milliseconds since the underlying storage (EBS) will be some log-based storage.

If they really wanted to optimize boot time, they would freeze the fully booted machine (keeping all the RAM contents) and then clone the frozen instance. That should be able to get running in just ~10 seconds (enough time to copy enough of the RAM contents to be able to log you in). They probably won't do that because having every user running from a fork of the same image could have some weird repercussions - for example the kASLR would be the same for all machines, making designing exploits much easier.
I'd like to see crowdfunding move in this direction, but it'd be too good, right? Calculate that a project takes $100k, amass the backing, then release the finished work for the benefit of the whole world. What happens instead of release is that the makers just keep it all closed and try to make further profit.
SOA vs. EDA: Is Not Life Simply a Series of Events?
Those are good points. As I think about it some more, it's not even just support that they sell (as in, you can call them up when there's a bug). The large enterprises they sell to value:

- support

- training

- ease of install

- ease of upgrade

- indemnity (e.g., Red Hat promises to pay your court costs if someone sues for patent infringement)

- stability (long term support releases)

Those are all things that plain old open source by itself doesn't provide, but Red Hat does.

Fair enough. Personally, I avoid PWAs entirely due to (in part) security concerns. But I'm also one of those who views client-side scripting as a threat vector, and prevent it when at all possible.

I've been messing around with the Web Audio API lately and the message Firefox leaves is that it will still work as long as the user initiates the sounds loading, not the page.

The "plugin-container" executable is used for all sandboxed processes on Windows. That started out as plug-ins, but now includes web renderers.

So the "something inside it" could be script on a web page, or part of Gecko's rendering pipeline, or pretty much anything. And killig it crashes tabs because it's the thing rendering those tabs.

It might make sense to rename the executable to make things clearer, but there are some problems: there is Windows software that hardcodes the executable name and does things based on it, and changing the name would break various things for users....

On Mac and Linux, where this problem doesn't exist, the process naming is much saner...

Yes, I saw a lot of really good students enter an applied math program when I did. I left with a Ph.D., but nearly all the rest didn't. The flunk out rate was so high that Navy Seal training or Army Ranger training look like fuzzy, bunny play time.

The key to my getting my Ph.D. was research, research, and research. The first I did was on a little question that came up in a course. In two weeks I got a surprisingly good answer that was clearly publishable. Later I did publish, no problem, in JOTA. That work gave me a halo in the department and made the rest easier.

For my dissertation, I had identified the problem and made good, intuitive progress on it before I entered grad school. In my first summer I turned the intuitive stuff into math, theorems and proofs, wrote an 80 page manuscript, and that was the research for my dissertation. So, I found my own problem, found my own solution, did the work with no direction, and submitted the final work. So, in no meaningful sense did I have any dissertation advisors. So, I didn't have to depend on an advisor.

This is a good addition. Did you do a PhD in Math as well? My idea is to pursue a PhD in CS, but have a very theoretical bent. I was concerned since essentially I am studying pure math, under the CS department I'd have similar prospects as a Math PhD. But my aim is to set myself up for industry skills upon graduation, so I'll ensure I beef up my software and leetcode skills as Kevin recommended.
> Red Hat built a very successful business selling mostly GPL software.

Red Hat built a very successful business, AFAIK, selling support to enterprise customers.

> Would things be different for the companies we've been talking about lately (mongo, redis, elastisearch, etc.) if they had gone with a GPL license and a Red Hat-like business model from the start?

Probably not; there's lots of companies selling enterprise support around permissively-licensed software.

It seems most of the ones at issue want to sell SaaS platform services, and would face the same problem with well established SaaS platforms beating them at that game with their own open source software if it was copyleft licensed as if it was permissively-licensed.

OTOH if they close it off and make it exclusive it's going to be hard to keep a sufficient premium in software quality to make their platforms attractive over broader platforms with weaker lock-in, even if those other platforms require a more broadly-supportable second-choice alternative software package in place of the proprietary vendors secret sauce component.

Just an update. Rust's governance model looks pretty solid and I'm confident it could survive. What is unclear to me is the sponsorship and who the Rust Team is. What is clear is that C++'s process has proven it works over long periods. I think Rust's has many elements of that.

I'm generally OK with commission based sales - if there are guarantees. There's very little due diligence on the part of the Realtor or real estate agent. They can't really be held responsible for anything related the to condition of the house if something was hidden or missed by a home inspector. They'll put anything on the market, and typically make suggestions to sellers that while intended to improve "curb appeal" and "showability" often cover up bigger problems that the property might have.

Purchasing a home is always "buyer beware."

If you look at the average high school student in the US, you might conclude that Americans are pretty stupid, but the averages are brought down by the obscene amount of educational inequality in the US.
