If you used to be on SSRIs and they worked, then LSD doesn't sound like a good match.

I regret not taking psychedelics, but I hallucinated from a large dosage of hashish and had visual disturbances for a couple of days after, so I figured it's better to not mess with other psychedelics.

I also got a bad panic attack from a moderate dosage of stimulants(bad idea mixing them) and I could not drink coffee for 2 years, or I would get a panic attack just from the coffee -- it all went away eventually and I can drink coffee without a panick attack now (though it does seem to cause joint pain so I try to avoid it).

What a neat, concise definition of faith! Despite a cruel and unfeeling universe, to believe in a just God is exactly as you describe.

Yes, that is faith in a nutshell. Every attempt to 'reconcile' faith with science, compromises both and does no service to either.

I'm not a person of faith (not in a dogma anyway). But I can understand that to mean anything at all, faith has to mean a different thing than 'observable confirmation of nature'.

I added my email to my profile - feel free to reach out.

But in short, my work is and always has been around content management. However, the value of my products is no longer the ability to put a document online - there are plenty of solutions for that. My recent products offer value by making the document authoring part of a larger workflow solution, tailored to improving the lives of people who consume the documents, and helping build products that allow content to flow between people, sites, and systems.

That may be overly vague, but the point is the value comes from workflow, not individual documents.

Let's not ruin the HN comments by introducing this type of language.
As others noted the this has little to do with quarantine and a lot with depression. However, there is a parallel between depression and quarantine, for me personally, it struck very hard, and I found myself questioning the value of my life up to the point where the thoughts of meaningless existence shadowed every good thing that ever happened to me.

Funny to mention but what helped me was Arthur Schopenhauer book "the wisdom of life", it deals a lot with a sense of meaninglessness and ability to overcome that. Do recommend.
I have an accessibility issue with The Old Reader, I contacted them about it and they never fixed it. In list view, there are no links to articles at all, if you're using a screen reader like I am. That makes me have to use the reader in expanded view. While I love the use of headings, it's one of the features on my wishlist for my absolute most epic RSS reader ever, (and it was a design feature of Google Reader,) I don't want to navigate passed the heading with the title, and 15 additional headings, because people seem to think that using headings is good for SEO.
Also, limiting the amount of feeds is a big nono in my book!! IF they didn't do that, and charged $10 monthly, I'd pay.
I'd be interested in hearing about the actual experience.
Chocolatey is a pun on NuGet, which is presumably inspired by apt-get.

I was recently wondering if there's any kind of single board computer that would be suitable for just shoveling data on the network at close to 10gbps. If you have something that basically just sendfile()s data, an average desktop PC from 5 years won't pull a sweat saturating 10gbits, barely reaching two digit CPU%.

Are there are any SBCs that would have suitable IO for this? The pi4 has USB 3 which internally is connected via PCIe, but the question is whether it could handle eg SATA and Ethernet on it. Not that I actually need this for anything, it would just be cool to have a small case with 1TB SSD that you can plug into a switch and deliver hundreds of MB/s. With 8GB RAM you could even make good use of the fs cache, depending on usage pattern.
Would IF help?
Kind of reminds me of the character of Archibald "Harry" Tuttle from the movie Brazil.
I find it very interesting that this article isn't just all "We're more holier [SIC] than google", but instead also argues that google could just as well adopt this busyness model. It doesn't defend google, but it doesn't paint it as this intrinsically evil IT-Monster that must be defeated, as many privacy advocates tend to do.
All of these virtual environment managers over complicate dependencies with Python. Using a simple virtual environment is quite easy. All you need is Python, its built-in venv module, setuptools and pip. I've found pip-tools helps with generating/merging comprehensive requirements.txt files.

I promise you this is a very real problem, every company I’ve worked at with even a moderate sized codebase has had to battle webpack at various points and try to hack in various types of only semi functional 3rd party caching tools and such to make development more manageable.

If you’re a solo dev working on mostly new codebases I imagine it’s not a problem for you though.

Rethinking Digital Platforms for the Post-Covid-19 Era
I agree that these are technical challenges, but they're not insurmountable. Any extension could itself track normal user behavior (e.g. mouse movement speed, scrolling), and "learn" to mimic that. And as long as the "likes" are themselves quite randomized per extension, it's unlikely that the random likes will have much of an impact. It also seems not hard to filter out porn, politics and religion from the subjects being liked.

I think the bigger risk is one or credibility - once the ad-revenue disruptor thing is in place, the creators might be tempted to sell their user data for a profit.
Ask HN: Should I give in to voice assistants?
I've been resisting privacy-invading tech as much as I can over the years, but I'm starting to think my efforts aren't even useful. I imagine these companies have "shadow profiles" of my voice anyway. Should I give in and embrace Alexa, Siri, OK Google?
Youtube-dl is a great tool, but the audience (primarily technical people) of any CLI app won't be representative of shipping an app for general use.
The WGU concept is great, but it also only really works for that intended audience of professionals already in the field, sometimes only getting a degree to satisfy some arbitrary requirement (e.g. I knew two people who went to WGU because they worked somewhere that required a masters degree to be any sort of manager - they were already a shoe-in but needed the piece of paper).

In effect, WGU was not there to teach them anything new.

All the negatives of four year college that you mentioned (besides the loans) are all positives for someone just leaving high school.

The on-campus experience of living in a crappy dorm/apartment with peers is a formative social experience that results in lifelong friendships for many college students. The whole point is to live away from parents in a transitional environment. It’s just plain fun to live in a dilapidated house with 5 friends.

On-campus college is a good measure of priceless juvenile fun combined with a lot of intermingling with people who aren’t necessarily just like you compared to more homogeneous high schools and your parents’ own sheltering. I think this is absolutely valuable to expanding your horizons, which also includes studying elective subjects not part of your direct major (for me, that was film history and geology, and I remember those courses more vividly than many of my required engineering courses).

Self-learning is irrelevant to someone with no professional experience. I don’t really see how I would have self-learned subjects like differential equations without in-person office hours and lessons with the ability to raise your hand and ask a question. Physical in-person labs in science and electrical engineering were important aspects of my degree, while a liberal arts student might have had an in-person discussion, performance, or live presentation.

I also got access to a physical campus library that blew away the local library in my hometown: seven floors of books in endless subjects, more videos than the local Blockbuster. Maybe that’s less relevant in 2020 but the library was also a destination for studying.

I was lucky enough to not end up with significant loans after my four year school (about $12,000). But I think I’d have taken on up to $50,000, heck, maybe $75,000 to get that experience, if the alternative would have been sitting in my bedroom on a computer for four years.
NSA made SELinux. My theory is that they made it so hard to use so nobody would use it /s
If you look, there's plenty of evidence. When doing search, set the date range to be before 2015 because since 2015, pretty much all media has lost their minds and started reporting the exact opposite of what they used to report. It's as if they have all erased their history and search results now hide it thanks to Google.

You can find plenty of examples of voter fraud, vast majority is through mail-in (including absentee and ballot harvesting)

> The Miami Herald won a Pulitzer Prize for its investigation of a 1997 mayor’s race in Miami that was thrown out by the courts because of an estimated 5,000 fraudulent absentee ballots.

> A 2003 mayor’s race in East Chicago, Indiana, was overturned by the Indiana Supreme Court because of absentee ballot fraud, as well as other problems such as individuals voting whose registered residences were vacant lots.

> A stolen election in Greene County, Alabama, involving hundreds of fraudulent absentee bal­lots resulted in 11 people being convicted of voter fraud.

> In Essex County, New Jersey, there is an ongoing investigation of fraudulent absentee ballots in a 2007 state Senate race. Charges have already been filed against five people, including campaign workers who were submit­ting absentee ballots on behalf of voters who never received or voted the ballots.

Even the democrats used to agree to this fact until Trump came along:

In 2004, Jerry Nadler (Democrat) asserts that paper ballots, particularly in the absence of machines, are extremely susceptible to fraud:

This isn't just about mail-in voting. It's about absentee and ballot harvesting too which accompanies mail-in voting.
You don't have to. Use zipapps, this allows you to create a project with as many deps as you want, but use it as if it was a single python module.

It's an official feature (https://docs.python.org/fr/3/library/zipapp.html) that lets Python execute an entire project bundled into a zip file.

If you don't want to create it by hand, use shiv: https://pypi.org/project/shiv/

It's the best of both worlds.
Exactly. The WHOIS information of pyenv.run doesn't reveal anything who is controlling the domain.

And the "more information" link https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pyenv/pyenv-installer in that script points to "400: Invalid request" result.

I wonder if any USB device actually relies on these bugs being there to operate correctly.
For the most part rust handles pointer chasing in safe code just fine.

Drivers are a fundamentally unsafe concept, like an ffi call, you're talking to hardware the compiler doesn't understand and assuming it's going to do what you want. So there will of course be some unsafe. In a well implemented driver it will also be very limited in scope and relatively easy to check.

I can't vouch for the code quality (I just don't know how good it is, I had no hand in writing it, and it's not used in a production system), but I believe you can find a usb driver implementation written in rust here: https://gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/drivers/-/tree/master/x...
I think that even if a server returns HTML, on the client-side we'd typically like to retain the flexibility to style/restyle/rearrange elements it to fit the current layout. The same response could be used in multiple places with different styles.

What other client-side UI frameworks do you recommend? I'm liking what I'm seeing with HTMX due to its small size and simplicity.

Classes usually have a more complex state than the state passed to utility functions, which is a reason I'd be incline to use e.g. a struct as a state vs a C++ class. Makes it harder to write bad code.
Liability? Probably none. See section "11. Limitations of Liability." here: https://aws.amazon.com/agreement/

RDS SLA's are here (doesn't mention backups though, so not sure how that's handled): https://aws.amazon.com/rds/sla/

Not a lawyer or anything, but my layman's understanding is that, you essentially are voluntarily opting-in to waiving liability when you sign up for AWS and accept the terms and conditions, and instead of liability, you agree to accept service credits if SLAs are not met.
That's interesting, but I was talking about variations of tomato ketchup. The ketchup in Germany, the UK, and the US are all very different. I didn't like the ketchup in Germany at all (and I don't mean the curry ketchup...).

I don’t know when it was last updated, but as far as I can tell, it’s feature-complete for my needs (with zero lock-in).

I actually just tried out OP’s Obsidian and ... it’s nice. In my workflow it would replace Sublime, as the desktop wiki editor sitting on my existing folder of wiki files.

There isn’t any of the lock-in I was getting concerned about from peoples posts here, and personal use is free. I’ll continue to play with it.
NPM and Node.js tips to make your dev machine safer
From that link: A UK regulator said on Wednesday that a separate trial was also being put on hold, less than a week after it started. Also: Medicines agencies in France and Italy said the drug should not be used for COVID-19 outside clinical trials. So it looks like the UK stopped a trial and France did not?
Honestly, the best approach should be "sudo apt get pyenv", but it's such a pain to package a program as a deb I undertand many people don't bother.

Two Ways to Successfully Scale Your Marketing Content
Put frankly: you are talking out of your own experience and extrapolating onto the world. What a shocker that as a Ruby dev I have different views than you, who would have thunk...
This is anecdotal, but I had a positive experience with the lack of privacy recently. I bought a baby stroller, after doing the typical research and finding a used model, I ended up buying a new one from some babyshop. All the pictures had shown the thing with the stroller “hat/head/sunscreen thing” (sorry I don’t know the English word for kalche), anyway, it wasn’t included and that was why the brand new stroller had been priced the same as the used ones.

But it’s bought and it’s nice, so whatever I hit the manufacturer website and find the correct product and google it, and get a flash sale from one of our most prominent baby stores. It was 350 Danish kr including delivery. Without closing the tap I check a few baby shops and a price checker website and see it’s actually 600-700 Danish krs everywhere, including on from the company the flash sale on google is form. So I buy it.

Apparently I hit the right combination of search history, and store advertising/inventory at exactly the right time.

Being curious I called my local baby store to ask why they could flash sale me at half price, and after a bit back and forth they apparently do this thing where they’ll catch you early with a cheap item and then when you come back they to buy it the next day it’ll be priced higher, except by then you’ve made up your mind to buy it and will pay the extra and I was just lucky having already made up my mind when I got it because the other store has been cheeky.

Not really related to DDG, but it’s the first time selling my privacy has paid off.

Go has excellent support for cross-platform compilation. You could even set up a repo with CI to build the tools you want (since I presume you don't trust binaries) for many platforms. You could build it within a Docker container locally if cloud is not your taste.

I don't think that being able to build your editor is required on any platform. And a C toolchain might be "everywhere", but it's not on a default Alpine linux, the foundation for many containers. Maybe the future distros will look more like Project Atomic, Rancher, etc. anyway.
Did you create any GitHub repo based on this project?

> So Twitter should have shown it has the balls and banned Trump "just like everyone else". It had the policy backing it up. It wouldn't have caused Twitter to be dragged into this controversy of becoming a biased publisher instead of a neutral platform.

It would have caused Twitter to be dragged into a much bigger controversy instead. Which you're right, they probably should, but have so far proven afraid to do so.
First they come for the Trump supporters and I did not speak because I am not a Trump supporter.

How to Become Indistractable with Nir Eyal
I've not much love for administrators' love for banning posts and users for unquantifiable reasons. This from 30 years of experience on the matter. One gets to see all kinds of variations, and there's absolutely nothing new here in core powergames and surrounding mechanics.

However, such social media platforms can either exist in any form protected by freedom of speech, or they cannot exist at all. This as no moderation is illegal and frowned upon, purported to sway public opinion with false data.

The thing is, the power games are inseparable from the mechanics, no matter how well-intentioned on either "side". The inevitable outcome is separation of users, which happens again, and again. What we will see coming is the Great Divide, caused by social media technologies, powered by tribal human nature and selfishness.
But after a couple of arguments, fields inside an object become more appealing -- this is about taste.

But even if you have free functions, as they become more complex, you tend to group them together, so at that point you might just slap the "class" keyword somewhere at the beginning of the file and just call it a class.

An AMP is a page (expand the acronym). I answered your question very precisely, and your response shows that you still don't understand it.

> If I'm using magic words correctly, I guess what I want to ask is what percentage of AMP traffic to cached pages is served to users by Bing and others that aren't Google.

If I search on Bing, the results will be prerendered from Bing's AMP cache. Reread the GP comment, and see if you can understand why that is so.
I think `curl | bash` is treated unfairly. Whether you `git clone` or `curl` a script, you are fundamentally doing the same thing: downloading and executing code from the internet. `git clone` just feels safer because it is hiding that fact under layers of abstraction.

If I want to run pip, I need to trust PYPA. It's their code I want to run, and I need to download it one way or another. If I don't trust them to keep their domain secure, I don't see why I would trust them to keep their github repo secure.

And the whole point of pip is to download code from PYPI and run it. pip, git, curl|bash, all do the same exact thing in this case. curl|bash just smells funny because it makes it more plainly obvious what is going on.
Hmm, it's not like f.lux were the only ones doing it. If they were the first, then credit to them for the concept (and for the software, I'm not belittling it).

This seems like genericisation in trademarks to me. Sometimes things grow to be useful more broadly -- that seems like something to celebrate.

If you're railing against capitalism in general however, then I'm with you! Distribution of wealth shouldn't be left to a fight between a small cadre of corporation owners vs. the populous.
