> I've been told if you have mental issues LSD and their like can make them much worse!

I'm not sure that's true, or at least not the way people say it. You can have a bad time, but it's all about the people you're with and the environment you put yourself in. If you take a small dose (You should), your "trip" will be very subtle but very noticeable to you.

Some examples of things I've noticed: You'll be compelled to smile at everything, but not in a bad way - it just seems unavoidable, but you're smiling because you want to rather than because you have to. I find that some people are listeners and some people are talkers, be that about nothing or anything - totally anecdotal, but I find that people who find knowledge for the sake of knowledge compelling tend to be in the latter. Ergo, the acid scene in Bandersnatch (the giggling is bang on, the visuals not so much).

Some advice for a good time (just treat as a fun day out rather than a life changing experience, expect nothing):

* Do it with someone - it makes people really honest and talkative, even if you don't know them that well (Obv. YMMV). And maintain some kind of isolation, i.e. you don't have to be alone but if you're new to it make sure you can maintain some separation (Or anonymity)

* Have something to do - e.g. watch. I think people have bad trips because they spiral rather than a sudden descent, so having something to follow other than your own thoughts is a help.

* Avoid authority - You'll think everyone knows you're high, they won't (Apart from the eyes...) - but that doesn't matter because it will feel like (say) someone is towering over your shoulder even if they're just having a look at your monitor.
A lot of providers will filter out SCTP at the boundaries, especially for consumers. I know of providers that only whitelist TCP and UDP on their gateways.
This was 2006... on a dumb phone. It wasn’t ideal, but it worked quite well.
It's not just a pain to write. I've accidentally introduced way more bugs through Go style error handling than through Python style error handling. Some examples:

Forgetting that a function returns an error:

...
foo() // foo returns an error that isn't being handled.
...

Forgetting to check the error returned by a function. Note a linter won't pick this up since the err variable is used later.

...
err := foo()
err = bar() // The previous error will go unhandled.
...

Accidentally typing return nil instead of return err:

...
if err != nil {
return nil
}
...

And in the case of the errors library, there's times where I will call a builtin function that returns an error and forget to call errors.WithStack. Every once in a while I'll come across an error without a stack trace and I'll have to hunt down where it came from:

...
err := json.Unmarshal(bytes, &obj)
if err != nil {
return err // should be errors.WithStack(err)
}
...

All of these issues look just like normal bug free Go code. On the basis that I've introduced more bugs this way, I prefer Python style error handling by far.

There is death in the series, end-of-battle fainting is explicitly a different thing (probably better thought of as "knocked unconscious").

The first generation even had the tower in Lavender Town, filled with the graves of dead pokemon.

In any case, GP's comment stands: Pokemon is neither a shooter nor focused on killing.
Thank you for sharing this resource. Arduino guides are so opaque without a foundation. Watching this series as we speak.

> Fortunately, I attended a college (Caltech) that as institute policy did not take attendance and no part of the grade was based on attendance.

I attended Caltech (BS '01) and given that they allowed us to take exams home with us, it would have been surprising if a professor took attendance. This was part of the overall honor code (http://www.admissions.caltech.edu/explore/about-caltech/hono...) that looking back, I really appreciated as a student.
It's required for the Sony Headphones app to upgrade the firmware of the headphones, though.

More examples might include apps that interface with smart/IoT devices.

Simply saying "no app gets bluetooth access" just to remove a permission screen would diminish the usability of the device.

That's not to say it doesn't offer valuable insights, though - nor does it comment on the validity of further empirical and theoretical[0] work on authoritarianism. I've found that many people who make such a comparison both misunderstand Adorno, and many don't understand the context in which the book was written (counting Adorno's experience of the Holocaust) nor the actual content. The nature of authoritarianism, for Arendt and Adorno, goes deeper than personalities in the modern democratic state.

For what it's worth, though...

>In his “Remarks on The Authoritarian Personality” (a text that was not included in the published 1950 work), Adorno laid out a series of objections that call into question the notion of an underlying personality structure; they suggest that under the modern conditions of the late-capitalist culture industry, the individual as a psychic unity is beginning to dissolve. This dissenting perspective deserves notice, especially in an age that has seen the reemergence of authoritarian politics in the United States.

By Adorno's reckoning, we have authoritarianism in both Trump and Clinton.[1]

[0] https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/016344371877214...

[1] "After first sketching Adorno’s conception of the “authoritarian personality,” with the help of Sándor Ferenczi’s concept of the “identification with the aggressor,” the article proceeds to examine the exchange of the letters between Adorno and Marcuse, illustrating Adorno’s changed orientation: that “fascism” or “authoritarianism” maybe either left or right. Finally, some conclusions are drawn about the authoritarian tendencies of the contemporary Left."
You seem to be looking at this as a consumer who got a fake item (from a 3rd-party seller). Store experience is not the same as business execution.

The company is operating optimally, making the most revenue with the most growth while controlling costs and taking market share from all of its rivals. Nothing's perfect, but this is as close as you can get with a trillion dollar company that remains in the lead and is pulling even further ahead.

I think everyone should experience it in some way. I hate the hazy feeling of being "high"-high, but there's a depth to LSD which I find incredibly fascinating. I think the mystique and non-communicability of the experience add to that. Lots of oxymoronic phrases come to mind.
I do 99% of my shopping in person. Curious where you do your online shopping now.
I had one professor in college who went hard in the other direction—she told the class "I don't care if you turn in assignments late", and gave no limit on how late you could be.

As a student, it was, well, nice. It was true that it was a bit harder to be motivated to finish a paper right away, but it also made the process far less stressful. When I turned in papers I thought they were the best they could be.

Of course, I'm sure there were at least some students in her classes who ignored everything until the end of the term or something, and were quite stressed out at the end...
All the extras like platform and tooling is nice, but don't mean anything if you can't support yourself as a dev. Better revenue sharing for devs is one thing that can make a big difference, provided the user base is there. Either it'll be there on Epic one day or Valve will match the revenue share of Epic or both. I'm all for having a competitive option in this space.

I don't think it's entirely Epic's fault about the releases being yanked from Steam or crowd sourced titles making changes. The developers had to sign the contract with Epic and Valve decided that they're too big to fail (which they might be by now) so they didn't try anything to counter.

The one thing that does suck from the gamer perspective is having to use multiple stores. As a dev and gamer I'm okay with this however as it helps the dev community at large in the long run if a viable store contender ever arrives.
All that really matters is that he has a degree and can fizbuz.
My graduate classes were 100% homework-based almost without exception. When you're doing hard enough physics, it doesn't make sense to demand people do anything nontrivial in an hour, like in a typical exam. Real problems take at least whole days of thought.
My advice is to read the board and MCU datasheet. Check MCU's peripherals, and how they can be used in your application. Some MCU's have a PPI (Programmable Peripheral Interconnect) it is clever to use it, as peripherals can operate independently together from the processor, especially combined with direct memory access. Learn bitwise operations as you'll need it to configure the peripheral's registers. Use a logic analyzer to confirm the bitstream to pinpoint errors.

Lately I started experimenting with radios. It is difficult. Let me know if someone has a good guide they read.

The combination of much cheaper launch costs of SpaceX's Starship, zero to negative interest rates, and a bunch of space-interested billionaires, might just get some rotating space hotels up and running sooner than you might think.
Exactly this, I dread having to shop for something that's caught on as a popular cheap to produce product that Chinese companies have focused in upon. There is so much noise to wade through its really really annoying. Sometimes I just give up shopping that day because its so time consuming to wade through a bunch of online shopping land mines. Offline shopping is growing in importance to is in the face of this counterfeit noise. Its actually raised our perceptions of Costco for us because they do a great job making selections.

For goods we can't risk counterfeit we go Walmart and Vitacost. Vitacost is really great.
I felt like this after my first job where I wrote Java and Perl for three years before moving to a full-stack position that was heavy on JS.

What helped the most was building numerous hobby apps in node and thousands of leetcode questions. A book or a course was somewhat helpful, only in reference and second to the api docs. I would answer them with es6 trying to make full use of the spec. I did this for 5 months answering 3-4 a day until the medium and hard questions became easy.

There is a thick line between competent and fluent when it comes to programming and a lot of devs don’t want to put in the work.

"There is no need to grossly distort my position."

Oh, come on. It's obvious I thought you two are the same person.

"the Russian response to be wildly disproportionate"

What would be a proportionate response then?

"You're referring to plans that predate the existence of the Soviet (and now Russian) nuclear arsenal"

You are wrong. Read the book.

"ABM is a joke."

Not if it has to deal with a few rockets surviving first strike. It will be much more potent in a couple decades.

"High-precision warheads are unnecessary in MAD, but do nothing to threaten or disrupt it."

Again, read the link.

"still very weak"

Nothing prevents this from changing very quickly.

"NATO is ruled predominantly by the U.S."

To a certain extent, but not entirely. Read "A Little War That Shook the World" by Asmus for an example -- Georgia wasn't granted NATO membership action plan thanks to Germany finally seeing the light.

"it includes"

So you are saying that NATO expanded because of "tragicomically mismanaged economic reforms" in Russia? Or maybe you shouldn't be including such ridiculous reasons in your list?

"Russian actions in the ex-Soviet republics"

Please be specific.
I just don't see how your observation (that you are not aware of any game that solves the problem well) leads to your conclusion (that its solution is computationally complex). I can see that there may be other lines of reasoning that support that conclusion, for example something pertaining to the algorithms and techniques involved, but I also see how other conclusions may be true given your observation.

> Why on earth are you arguing this at all — the counter to a point I never made — and why are you arguing from a position of ignorance like it makes you smarter than me?

You are reading way too much into my post. I am arguing from a position of ignorance, but under no pretense that it somehow makes me smarter than you. On the contrary, it seems like you are familiar with the problem, and I think that you may have made much more relevant observations than the one you posted, but because my post has already prompted a more detailed description of the problem and its potential solutions I don't have to wait through petty insults to hear about it.
You literally disagree with the article (and agree with the op) on the definition of a safe space.
Their quality control, or lack thereof, also extends into Prime Now. It is now a game when I get a Prime Now delivery: what did they replace without telling me, what products did they get wrong, and most critically: what did they overbill me for?

It's now to a point I weigh everything coming in, and over half of the items are off weight, some egregiously so (0.2 oz of jalapeno, but billed for 1 pound; .5 pound of chicken but billed for 3; a sliver of broccoli but billed for 2 pounds; the list is endless).
I am currently designing PCBs for my next post using EasyEDA, anything to pay attention to?

I'm especially concerned about the track width and clearance and stuff. For 12V and I think a max of 8A I calculated 2mm width, 0.6mm clearance, 1.5mm via diameter and 0.75mm via drill diameter.

I get the feeling that Windows itself is a large legacy mess that is stuck having to account for corner-cases that have built up over time. Of course this facilitates its impressive degree of backwards-compatibility (one of its most desirable features), but still.

You're absolutely right, data could be used for these other things that, while potentially beneficial to society and individuals, carry further potential for misuse as well.

To address misuse in general: That is always a problem, with any technology, tool, data... anything. It's important that we don't discard useful tools due to potential misuse though. Instead, it's of the utmost importance that, at the outset, issues of misuse be enumerated, discussed, mitigation strategies thought out, how to accurately talk about data gathered, the insights obtained, what they can and cannot be used for from a statistical analysis (correlation != causation etc. type of thing) and so on. Let me talk a little about what we did at my institution along these lines. It wasn't perfect, we could have done better, but in the outlines I think it formed a pretty good starting place for a template of how society should engage in conversations about issues that arise from the current revolution in our ability to gather data on individuals:

In 2014 we started using an LMS system that made data collection on easy. I was given sole access to that data to begin exploring and cataloging the available data being collected, it's possible uses, potential points of concern. I had sole access, but those things I was looking for were done in intense conversation with administrative and faculty colleagues, including the university executive board and the faculty union and faculty senate along with conversations with students. During this process, no else had the level of unfettered access that I did (I am a data analyst) not even the system administrators. (Technically they could have granted themselves access though, but if they didn't go through the proper channels, such a thing is a firing offense.)

This went on for about three years, all the while I was able to accumulate data and evaluate it against actual student performance and validate its utility and continue to report back on my findings to further the discussions going on. When that stage of actually using the data to drive conversations ended, I took a step back and simply spoke at gatherings every once in a while to go over what I'd done, findings, etc. After that, for the next two years, it was in the hands of the administration working up policies in conversation with faculty surrounding expectations for responsible use of this information. To say there were disagreements would be an understatement. But over time tentative points of compromise were reached, and for the past 2 years were have begun carefully rolling out initiatives that utilize all of this. We are cautious. We are open. We continue to have conversations with valid concerns on all sides that we seek good compromises for.

Again, the above wasn't perfect, but it's a good outline of how responsible use of data should be approached.

I tried to file a claim about a fraudulent purchase (filing complaints is intentionally obscure and arduous on Amazon) I made and I got an email back that told me I didn't have a claim because I wasn't a seller. So they do enforce a policy, their policy is to make money on whatever legal grey area they can get away with.

I disagree with - there are clearly fantastical elements in the story and although I like them as fantasy, I'm disappointed they're there in the first place.

I guess I'm sort of echoing the complaints of Game of Thrones (TV series) fans that liked the intrigue and disliked the actual fantasy. I disagreed with them (Ice and Fire is a "fantasy series after all) and understand some people will think I'm complaining too much, but I'm still looking for actual "hard" sci fi on the level of quality and production value of The Expanse
You'll have to explain again how bad behaviour by US police generalises to professors.

As far as I can tell this is simply a strawman. And even if it's not - the solution is to replace dickhead staff with reasonable human beings, not chain them with process so that everyone suffers.

Small startup, tech team of about 10 (2 SREs + 7 devs + 1 biz, total company size is 20, fully remote distributed across 3 continents), roughly 8 hours twice a week and only during my local timezone business hours, then the same 8 hours in one weekend day every two weeks, also roughly. We have lots of automated checks and alerts and only react to critical ones paging us via Slack (most of the alerts that page us are known, some are flaky some are false positives we can't ignore).

It was kind of forced on everybody (prematurely IMHO) but respecting people's timezones and business hours was key to make it acceptable and you can take the next day off no-questions-asked if you were on call on a weekend day even if you didn't have to act on anything. It's far from ideal considering how we still react to the critical alerts and what in them usually triggers actual on-call support but I've had worse in the past so it's alright... for now.
I’ve been wearing jabras at the gym for the past 3 years and use the bose qc ii 35’s for my daily programming job. I’ve never had an issue. In fact, the jabras have a much longer range but don’t have the ability to connect to two devices at once like the bose products.
There is no resolution for this question yet, too early to celebrate anything.
1. The cost to verify all of those would be extreme. They ship billions of units in a year, that's tens of millions of invoices at a minimum.

2. "issued only by the OEM" but there are many valid suppliers that are not the brand owner. Even Amazon themselves buy from many vendors that are not the brand owner. Amazon wants those suppliers and third party sellers because they bring down pricing and have a wider selection than they'd get if they only allowed sellers buying direct.

Make sure you have your fab's clearances entered in, I had PCBs come shorted because my clearances were smaller than what the fab could deliver. 2mm sounds too narrow for 8A unless your length will be small, my calculator says 5mm+.

It can connect to all the services I need and/or hosts, and it even works with SFTP servers using keyfile authentication (elliptic curve as well).

The only thing I don't like is that it make its own encryption format for encrypting file. I wish it used a format like Cryptomator instead.

I work in the area of online learning and am curious to learn more about these “plan-B” jobs. Is there a whole range of software development jobs that the education sector isn’t preparing graduates for?

A lot of people consider Monad transformers as an ugly hack to partially paper of the lack of compositionality of Monads (hence alternative attempts like extensible effects). Something that composes nicely has low overhead, does not introduce additional boilerplate or require making arbitrary additional choices (such as ordering). But Monad transformers do often involve non-trivial overhead, additional boilerplate (not sure how much things have progressed since mtl) and extraneous complexity.
