FWIW, I tried microdosing LSD for a while(I'm a programmer and was working from home). I found it to be negative to neutral. I'm probably suffering from ADHD and was looking for increased focus. I didn't find it. I was also a heavy pot user at the time though.

I found it was way too easy to take too much, or to start to feel the effects enough and then want to take more. Even when I kept the dose low, I don't think it led to any increase in productivity. I felt better, sure, but I was looking to get a more permanent sense of accomplishment rather than a short term mood boost.
This was my use case for it.

I ended up getting really frustrated with setting it up. Followed several different tutorials, had it blow up in a different way each time.

Going to have to revisit this to see if the documentation has gotten better.

Debuggers also double as an instant profiler. "Hmm, this program is running slowly, I wonder why..." -> gdb -p $PID -> a few random Ctrl-C's and c's -> finding the bottleneck and the state that led to it (which a real profiler won't usually tell you).

Also watches are invaluable when you know something is getting a wrong value but you don't know where.

I wish we could regulate the CRI and color temp of LEDs sold for headlights. I've had a few dangerous situations at night because of some idiot with poorly aimed, blue-white LEDs. I thought it was well known that lower color temps reflect less off moisture and perform better as headlights?

> One factor that will return once people start to panic is table manners, many of which seem fussy (separate serving utensils, a butter knife, not putting used utensils onto the table) but actually evolved for hygiene reasons.

When I was a kid growing up in the late 1950s, I thought we had this problem solved.

All the local restaurants kept a jar of mustard and a jar of mayonnaise on each table. (Yes, mayo sitting out all day, but let's ignore that for now.)

They didn't have separate utensils for these jars, you just used the table knife from your place setting. This led to a problem.

What if you had already cut your burger in half and then decided you want more mayo or mustard? You certainly wouldn't use a dirty table knife that would get bits of lettuce and tomato and bread and beef into the condiments.

Fortunately, my mom taught us basic sanitation: before you dip your table knife into the mustard or mayo jar, you must first lick it clean!
As I understand it, other countries are not very profitable as pharmaceutical markets, so they probably won't get developed in the first place there.
Would it also be ridiculous if a factory worker would be employed in one country and just cross the border to do a bit of factory work?

It would be ridiculous, because the factory worker would be working at a company domiciled in the other country. That is because, a company in one country can not just open a factory in another country without having an entity in the latter country.

Consider an alternative situation: Franz is employed in Hungary as a writer of fiction, but crosses into Austria many days and uses wifi to work there. Should Franz be paid Austrian minimum wage?

Local laws do apply, but generally one can not just enter another country and work there. Very often one is specifically prohibited from working in another country without a visa.

If someone is willing to work for $5, they will be willing to work for $15 [0]. The fact that they don't work is at all when the wage floor is $15 is because no one is willing to hire them at that price. Hence, it is a demand side issue.

The supply/demand curve here is a bit tricky, becauce, given a minimum wage of $15, the demand for labor at $14.99 is actually less than the demand for labor at $15, because employers are generally not willing to break the law over $0.01/hr
A very useful and quick reference to be productive at Anki itself is Anki Essentials and after working through that, I find my useful using Anki the right way. Though I don't think having multiple decks is a good idea and have found using single deck to be much more mimicking how consolidation of what you have learnt happens in real life, randomly across different subjects.

Does anyone here have tips to memorize the standard library of the programming language you use say Python using Anki? While yes there is the quick look up to the lib using a standard dev environment, what I am pointing to is having to lookup for details for the library function assuming that you know the function is the right choice because you have added it your long term memory. If this is useful for nothing, it will be useful at least for the algorithmic interviews which should be aptly named harakiri :-) [2]

As long as enough people reproduce around the world, there is another generation to pass it on to. Someday in the future, there may be a time where not enough children are born. Right now though, the global population is still growing and we're in more danger of overpopulation than underpopulation.

If I base my thinking on actual numbers rather than the theoretical principle, and in addition I stop worrying about my "score", then I can just focus on the actual stated goal, helping humans. When I'm dead, I'm gone. Them remembering me doesn't do shit for my soulless remains.

I might as well do something good for people because I care about people doing well, not because I want people to care about me even after I'm gone.
The Haskell library safe-money does a great job of handling these weird cases for currencies. It has a separation between the types used for calculations and storage/presentation, and lets you define arbitrary ones so in your example you can handle computations in an arbitrary precision rational representation and then store it in cents and later convert with proper rounding to 5 cent increments if necessary. Much of this is handled by the type system, including type safe currency conversion.
"Orthochromatic" was a fix; it had extended green sensitivity compared to earlier processes/materials (which were usually referred to as "actinic" after ortho was introduced). Ortho was called ortho right from the beginning to distinguish it from what came before.

The extended green sensitivity is what made it right. Or at least somewhat less wrong than things had been. If they'd found a way to create panchromatic plates/film before ortho as we know it happened, the name "orthochromatic" would have been given to that instead.

So why did ortho rule the roost in the darkroom and in process photography when we had "actinic" papers around? (Obviously, panchromatic is out unless you like working in total darkness.) Incandescent lamps for exposure is a big part of the answer. You don't get a lot of blue light out of a glowing filament, and sunlight isn't quite as consistent and reliable as you might want it to be. (And arc lights aren't a lot of fun to work with or around.) Non-repro blue, a pale cyan that humans can easily distinguish but ortho film/paper can't, is most of the rest. Panchromatic can "see" non-repro blue by design, and "actinic" can see it because it's not blue enough to appear white if it's dark enough to see easily (in paste-up, etc.). Non-repro blue, ruby masks and relatively bright safelight made life... well, not exactly easy when compared to, say, a desktop publishing application, but it beat the heck out of constant squinting in the dark, wondering if that thing was really supposed to be there, or if it was a line at all.
Wow, these are some serious expenses!

I run a service that does ~30 million requests a month, and I only spend $15 on it. It's an apples to orange comparison, but looking at their costs breakdown, I'm sure a couple engineers with a couple weeks can dramatically reduce their costs.

For me, the biggest cost savings were at browser caching. With `immutable` and far future cache expiration dates, webp images, etc, I could pull of the 30m and growing stats without the server load going more than 0.40.

> How would Terraform help you move between cloud providers when all of the provisioners are specific to the cloud platform

You don't move. You load balance across the clouds prior to the disaster.

You have your stuff work on both. I mentioned K8s because you could set up a managed cluster of that on a few cloud providers, and most of your TF will be the same in terms of setting up k8s, with some differences on how you set up those clouds.

This might be overkill for many people though so see below...

> If you’re a small startup, the least of your business risks are one of the major cloud providers shutting down.

I agree. a major cloud provider wont shut down....

... but they might shut YOU down.

Why? Billing Issues / TOS / 'Suspicious Activity' [0] / etc.

Now do you mitigate for that? Not necessarily but it is worth considering if you need to.

At the preparedness extreme you have a probe that detects the problem and flicks you over to cloud 2. Or a load balancer as I mention above (which would probe). That's probably too much for a scrappy startup.

But a middle ground is you have tech that is easy to move. Doesn't have to be k8s/TF but maybe a bash script you run on a new debian VM or whatever. Then you phone one of you awesome developers at 3am and tell them to migrate to AWS or whatever, and because it's easy they'll figure it out as they go, most stuff running by 3:30am and everything dandy by 5am.

The other extreme is you are tied in heavily to specific stacks by specific providers, and it take X hours/days to get back online again.

I'm not recommending to anyone what to do here - but I am saying consider the black swan events. You might consider them and say no I want my devs adding feature X so we can sell more. Fine, but I think when you can spend $100k a month on cloud you can probably afford to think about it a bit.

[0] Source: one of the major cloud providers cut all our services for 12 hours due to "suspicious activity". Turned out later it was due to a reused IP we were given from a pool that someone else f'd with. They gave us some credits to be nice afterwards.
Just skimming, I find two obvious issues with the proposed model:

First, saying that spacetime, considered as a 4-d hypersurface, has "two sides with two metrics" won't work. The metric of one side fully determines the metric of the other side since both sides belong to the same surface. That's why spacetime in standard Einstein GR only has one metric (which, btw, does not mean that spacetime in standard GR has only one "side", as the article claims). Two different metrics would have to describe two different, disjoint surfaces, which would have no connection to each other, which would mean the second one, being unobservable, would be scraped right off the model by Occam's razor.

Second, saying that negative mass would induce "opposite curvatures" as compared to positive mass, in the same spacetime, won't work. One spacetime can only have one curvature at any given ponit. Considering the simpler example of a 2-d surface should make this intuitively obvious--the same surface can't have two different curvatures at the same point.
Graph isomorphism is actually not known to be NP-complete. Many complexity theorists believe it isn't, since if it is, then the polynomial hierarchy collapses.
The article talks about free food. But the most bizarre perk is how health insurance is linked to one's employer. Whatever system we have in 20 years, pretty much anything will be better than this one.

Yes, for better or for worse. I deal with a very complex system in my daily work, and I'm often (a dozen or more times each week) tasked with answering questions along the lines of "Why did this happen?" or "What would the system do if (something) were to happen?"

Being a mere moral, I must consult the code to find an answer.
Not necessarily as much as...

Right now, antibiotics are a point-and-shoot, frontline treatment for things, and phage therapy is a sort of "treatment of last resort" bespoke therapy.

Are phage super-useful for cases like the one in the article, where you have something super-resistant like Acinetobacter? Yes.

Is there much hope, near term, that they'll work as a drop-in replacement for the antibiotics we're losing? No.
Why is this even a defect? Why do the body parts have to be located the way they usually are and not mirrored? Why dos the body development orientation take the right-handed or the left-handed direction randomly?
Hi, you're shadow-banned and this comment, which seems alright, was only visible to people who are 'showdead'.

This is not the case anymore that I have vouched for it. But, all of the comments you make in the future, and (I'm guessing here) a lot of the comments you have made, cannot be seen by normal visitors, and are greyed out and delisted to people with 'showdead' enabled.

In your case, a lot of your comments are good and make fair points, I think (I only did a quick scan down your comments page). It might be worth for you to contact `dang` or one of the other administrators to see if they would remove the shadow-ban in your case.
Debugging complex multithreading or timing-related bugs is one of the areas where a debugger, or even a bunch of logging, is not going to help you at all, because the slightest change in timing can make them disappear; only (very) careful thought is likely to lead to a solution.

Thus I mostly agree with the author of this article --- blindly stepping through code with a debugger is not a very productive way of problem solving (I've seen it very often when I taught beginners; they'll step through code as if waiting for the debugger to say "here is the bug", completely missing the big picture and getting a sort of "tunnel-vision", tweaking code messily multiple times in order to get it to "work".) If you must use it, then make an educated guess first, mentally step through the code, and only then confirm/deny your hypothesis.
This feels like a good start on this topic but it runs out of steam pretty quickly. Will be interesting to see further instalments.

The general rule is that of the time you spend with code, 90% is reading and 10% is writing.

This does not mean that 90% of your time is spend reading code. There are other tasks that programmers do during their day.

I would say that the 90% number sounds roughly true for me. And probably I read my own code somewhat less than that, but spend more time reading others’ code, either due to code reviews or just to understand things before making changes to existing systems.

I would be wary of routine ingestion of eucalyptus or lavender. Both are pretty potent irritants to fragile tissue and should not be overdone. Lung tissue is sensitive.

A nebuliser might be overdoing it. A water vapour misting machine with a few drops? No biggie.

Vaporising trivially alters chemicals because it changes the surface area to volume ratio. Higher surface area makes them more reactive per unit volume. They penetrate airways further because smaller, and are more likely to be absorbed.

Some conditions such as asthma can be made worse by irritants. You may feel better short term but do harm.

Yes.. my mum used to smear Vicks menthol on my nostrils too..
It's a fascinating kind of phenomenon similar to ludditism to me where programmers reject the very premise of their own existence: that computers are capable of adding value or assisting with a task.

No, a computer can't assist you if you don't know what you want it to assist you with, and that is the whole premise of the main argument surrounding the anti-debugger/IDE/etc. thought, which can be summed up in one sentence: How can you tell the computer what to do, if you don't know exactly what you want it to do either?

Similarly, going back another couple of thousand years: Code of Hammurabi (c. 1700 B.C.E.)

228. If a builder build a house for a man and complete it, (that man) shall give him two shekels of silver per SAR of house as his wage.

229. If a builder build a house for a man and do not make its construction firm, and the house which he has built collapse and cause the death of the owner of the house, that builder shall be put to death.

230. If it cause the death of a son of the owner of the house, they shall put to death a son of that builder.

231. If it cause the death of a slave of the owner of the house, he shall give the owner of the house a slave of equal value.

232. If it destroy property, he shall restore whatever it destroyed, and because he did not make the house which he built firm and it collapsed, he shall rebuild the house which collapsed from his own property (i.e., at his own expense).

233. If a builder build a house for a man and do not make its construction meet the requirements and a wall fall in, that builder shall strengthen that wall at his own expense.

I personally believe in free will, but persuasion and learning can still exist even if free will doesn't. It could be argued that people's deterministic reactions led to them reading something someone else posted and that leads to their mind changing. Memes and movements would exist even without free will. It happens in experiments on simple organisms that arguably lack free will (those with very narrow and predictable behaviors).

Agree.

> Some media players can delay their audio to account for playback delay in the audio device, if the audio stack supports that. Does Roc support that, or if not, is it on your roadmap?

We have an open issue for implementing correct latency reports in PA modules. When we'll fix it, players that support that feature should automatically start taking the latency into account.

Thanks for reminding me, I'll test this feature specifically.

I live in New Zealand where all the ISPs and mobile carriers provide fast and reliable DNS resolvers. I've looked into switching to alterntive DNS providers but every one of them are slower than my ISP's resolver. I'm aware that the sitation is quite different in the US and certan other countries, but I wish more Americans were aware that junk ISP-provided DNS servers seem to be an issue exclusive to certain countries (such as the US). I think it would be an intrerestin exercise to figure out why they occur in certain countries and not in other countries.
