I think Joker put it well when it said: "The thing about mental illness is that people expect you to act like you do not have it." I have my own idiom: "If these people could be normal, they would chose to be normal."

#1 thing: It feels amazing. Your brain LOVES these drugs. It is like an orgasm mixed with a super Mario star.

There are a few routes: The invincibility of youth colliding with brain chemistry of intense drug addiction. Nobody thinks THEY are the one who is going to have a drug problem. They can quit whenever they want to. Until they stop.

Self loathing is another path. You hate yourself. You don't care about anything. You actively want to destroy yourself, but the drugs make you feel good for a little while. So you keep doing them.

There are obviously more paths than these two.

Either way, you end up addicted. Your brain is screaming for more. You are in physical pain. Every bout of depression and hardship, your brain wills you towards your favorite fix. And in a moment of self-loathing or just plain exhaustion, you cave.

I am thankful I read the works of William S. Burroughs and Philip K. Dick in my formative years, so I had a stark understanding of which drugs were which, and what happens when you lose control.

I have had the same experience with vyvanse. I didn't find it fun, it would just kill my libido and hunger, to the point where it would be 9pm an I would be a grumpy mess from not eating all day.

I've always loved this passage from "A Scanner Darkly." It is autobiographical:

"Or a horrible positive reason: to have watched a human being you loved deeply, that you had gotten real close to, held and slept with and kissed and worried about and befriended and most of all admired—to see that warm living person burn out from the inside, burn from the heart outward. Until it clicked and clacked like an insect, repeating one sentence again and again. A recording. A closed loop of tape."

No. No. No.

When designing a system you always need to start top down.

Too many times I see a developer sit down an immediately start from the database.

Start from the UI or API. Just like we have UX for UI, you should be taking experience into account when designing an API.

Maybe measuring the contribution of the economy to physicists would give a better indication? .. since physics education and it's application to employment is easily measured and accounted compared to the, say, the hundreds of trillions in value added by Sir Isaac Newton.
That's not 100% true. It's like Henry Ford said. If you asked people what they want they'd say faster horses. Sometimes UX involves taking risks and getting people to adopt new paradigms. And if you're not working with a screen you'll probably have to invent something. Research us useful but has it's limits.
(1) it's a non-antiquated English word, etymologically linked to the antiquated foreign word (it entered English a long time ago.)

(2) In English, both hari kari and hara kiri are accepted spellings (the word came into English before modern, maybe even standardized, transliteration, and the source language doesn't natively use the Latin alphabet.)

(3) But, in any case, you are right that it is misspelled.

"and the magical Apple TVs+ Pro"
I actually talked to one of their sales people a while ago out of idle curiosity, and within five minutes felt like my head was going to explode from "that's not how any of this works".

I went into it with as open a mind as I could muster, and was told the following:

- The magnets are arranged so that there's a positive magnetic field in the middle surrounded by a ring of negative magnetic field

- Blood cells are clumped and this arrangement of magnetic fields pulls apart the clumps, making the blood cells more efficient

- The magnetic field also ionizes your blood, giving the cells a positive charge so they can hold more oxygen (!)

- They don't claim that it's a medical device because pharmacies won't let them (so as to get more money from doctors prescribing medicine)

- The sales girl's pet cat is way more friendly since starting to use one of their magnet things

I checked their website which yielded further such gems as:

- Magnotherapy has been used for centuries by humans and animals to aid healing

- It is reported that Cleopatra wore a small magnet on her forehead to preserve her beauty and youthfulness!

- Our magnets use a strong, multi-directional force of magnetism called ‘Central Reverse Polarity®’ also referred to as ‘CRP®’, to mimic the expensive professional equipment used by physiotherapists. Molecules that exit a CRP® field are more efficient than those produced by standard magnets.

- The use of a Central Reverse Polarity magnetic field therefore has a three-fold effect on the body’s energy levels (talking at a molecular level);

-- It activates the release of energy

-- It boosts the volume of stored energy

-- It acts as a catalyst by providing energy to increase the rate of chemical reactions.

tl;dr no.
I mean it's not rolling back or rolling forward.

It's just doing another deployment. It doesn't matter what version you are deploying.

That's the whole point.

My teams go into their CI/CD platform and just cherry pick which build they want to release.
If he can get DOS installed and CDROM drivers working he should be able to install at least windows 95a. Windows 95b preferred to use its own drivers (or drivers loaded from a floppy disk) for such things, but the early versions felt more like a GUI running on top of DOS.
> You probably would need to adopt a rule of no direct-to-table access, and a separate schema per API version containing views, and dealing with the pain of rewriting the views for all the supported API versions when you need to change your data model.

My understanding is there is no direct-to-table access with PostgREST; you're only ever interacting with views. Keep your view api versions in separate schemas. If you change your tables, yes, you'll need to update your views, but I don't see how that's much different than having to modify ORM code to accommodate schema changes.
There just isn't enough information in the article to judge the material.

My guess is by lowering the amount of cement they're reducing overall compressive strength, but by including fibrous materials they're resisting cracking. The reported "rubbery" behaviour means the material is overall less stiff and I'm not sure that does good things for development lengths or reinforcing required.

I don't know what to make of the statement that it's "impact proof". Steel yields and concrete crushes, but I guess this is a high strain material.

My initial thought was that it sounded like a good paving material if its sufficiently stiff...

Trying to control nature will never work out in humanity's favor. That is precisely the same hubris that has landed us in this mess. Once we surrender to the notion that we will capitalize on nature's response to our unwieldly use of technology, then we are only going to make matters worse. We simply do not understand the complexity of nature and should be skeptical of perceived benefits -- such as increased amounts of arable land -- as if that won't have consequences.
Anycast addresses change all the time. Ask Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Akamai, Cloudlfare and so on if you don't believe me. About the only anycast IPs that don't change are public DNS resolvers but that's also true of unicast resolvers as well.

By that logic BGP is a layer 7 load balancer since it has an application layer. BGP only exchanges layer 3 reachability information to update route tables therefore you can only load balance layer 3 with it.

The Happy, Healthy, Equitable Capitalists of Switzerland
There are companies like Oracle where you pay them boatloads of cash despite knowing that their business is designing new and innovative ways to screw you. The decision to give money to companies like these are almost never technical... it's political or driven by fear or incompetence.

Then there are companies like GitLab and Ubiquity. Most of their customers give them money because someone on the engineering team is discerning, persuasive, and trusted by management. These companies are not capable of pulling an Oracle without losing a significant amount of business, and everybody in the C-suite needs to understand this. Deciding to implement telemetry because everybody else is doing it is not going to fly here.
What’s pretty brilliant is that you could remove the word Apple and it would look exactly like what Tv is. Essentially Apple has replaced TV with AppleTV. And with that Apple is trying to become a monopoly on what was formally a relatively distributed system.

Yup, I don't know about dangerous, but "original" was definitely innaccurate on my part!

Honestly, the language that I'd love get first class support for on ROS2 would be Rust. Robotics really needs type and memory safety while maintaining performance and I personally feel like Rust is the perfect fit.

The lesson here is apple will screw up their ecosystem enough that developers will start to leave. Was looking at building pretty involved app and evaluated SwiftUI vs Electron with React. The effort on SwiftUI side about 10x vs Electron/React Apple needs to invest in their tools.
Even Sun Microsystems had a phase where they made thought-terminating illogical statements. My 2 favorites:
"The network is the computer" - No, it's not, and Sun's tech at the time, just Unix servers, definitely did not have any enlightened concept of networking that others lacked. It had Berkeley sockets and NFS. Such a statement makes me think of single-system image cluster computing, or other cool stuff, but they didn't have it! Lame.

"We put the dot in dot-com" - ??? - I think they got scared that they were starting to lose relevancy in the internet age. It turned out that Sun hardware was a poor choice if you really wanted to scale.
sort of, it'll help to shed light on the BS claims and expand the common knowledge levels to help debunk such dubious claims.

I would say no, but actually it’s a bit more nuanced than that. I use many different languages and if I am not actively working in one I might forget some syntax just after a couple of weeks. It only takes about an hour or so of working in that language (and RTFM) to get it all back. I don’t think others have as much of an issue if they’re in a single language all day but I jump around a lot and my hands-on-ness fluctuates.

Microsoft has gone through some pretty dark times w.r.t. naming stuff. Up there with "Windows" everything and absurdities like ".net Passport" was their unslakable thirst for "Active." ActiveX, Active Server Pages, Active Data Objects.

However, none of it holds a candle to IBM's mania for making everything "Websphere."
That's kind of the point, isn't it? If they get crash dumps they can fix bugs that aren't reported by the (likely very large) install base not savvy enough to realize that there's a bug they should be sending crash reports for.

I have run into this at literally every job I've ever had. Make notes, gather evidence, and file bug reports is just a foreign concept to some people.

Anti-boycott regulations are highly hypocritical because indeed, they are designed for Israel but pretend to apply to all countries.

Thing is, even if it is just country of residence, it is still a discrimination on hiring and could very well be illegal unless there are strong legal reasons. E.g. "we have to do things that are illegal under the laws in country X, so we can't hire people there".

I think the main point of her position is that one should have an objective criterion to add countries into a blacklist and that none can realistically been done over privacy issues that would include China and Russia but not USA.

Making a web app within 2days without code
I am not a programmer but I use product solution tools to create something that is functional and marketable. I remember the feeling of finding and searching for a car instructor then finding car insurance then looking for a car dealership, it was really time-consuming. I thought, why couldn't I use a web app that makes the process faster, I can call this service provider, find their location, price, and website without jumping from site to site.
I created drive4ever.net, which focuses on the UK market currently. I assumed that created the product would the hardest thing, but I was wrong. What will differentiate my product and the value I will give to my users kept me thinking really hard. Without proper marketing, no one will know about my product!

This week I reached a small milestones. I got myself to post on indie hacker which is a platform for individual creators. Also, I bought the domain drive4ever.net
Used the tool Carrd for the first time which is a tool to create one page sites.

Signed up for typeform to create questionnaires for the service provider, driving instructors. Bought a logo from looka which uses ai to generate a logo really quickly and with really good quality.

Apple TV is also a dumpster fire.
Man I'm having a hell of a time imagining how one would write a differentiable program.

I guess realistically it would have to be functional programming, where each function is itself differentiable, and then you'd have to be very careful with your function composition.

I'm incredibly intrigued, but also pretty skeptical. Like it seems like it would be so hard to ensure that you don't leave the domain where your program is differentiable.
> The logic that says you need this vaccine is the same logic that says you need to carry a weapon.

Assuming both are as common, but they aren't. Most people will have multiple sexual partners and engage in oral sex, few people get murdered.

Then there's herd immunity which is great at protecting everyone, but carrying around weapons seems to have the opposite effect in makes you more likely to be murdered.
I suspect that most devs don't do that. I can't imagine finding the time fir that.

> After testing a variety of different anode materials, the ICIQ team found that the effect depended on the degree of anode magnetization and did not work at all with nonmagnetic anodes. This suggests that the effect is linked to the electron spin states of oxygen intermediates bound to the catalyst, says Galán-Mascarós.

So how do the production rates of magnetic versus non-magnetic anodes compare?
