The worst is when you do write up docs, there are links to the docs, but then people ask questions answered in the docs, and then fail to even really attempt to read the docs after you tell them it's in the docs.

Often people want a quick fix designed specifically for them, and do not want to read even a few pages of docs.

Theoretically, server-side analytics could use the user-agent strings and other headers in the request to have infallible analytics. In practice, a lot of server-side analytics in practice rely on third-party tracking scripts (like Google Analytics) and other such practices that get blocked by tools like Privacy Badger, etc.

This is not true. I don't do this and 5/13 of my submissions hit the front page in the last 12 months.

The most important thing is to find an article that already has a suitable title so that you don't have to editorialize it against the site guidelines just to get the crucial first upvotes. It's a shame that often the best article on a topic doesn't have the best title (often when it is a primary source). Sometimes the mods change the link later.

I cook omelettes like that. I learned the technique from a friend who was a line cook at some fancy French restaurant. It works well as long as you have a very thin layer of eggs. Instead of butter, you brush a little bit of high smoke-point oil onto the pan (and mix a dash of heavy cream into the omelette batter to make up for the lost butter flavor). The eggs don't burn because they are insulated by a layer of steam.

It doesn't work for thick, American diner-style omelettes. The technique is useful because it lets you cook French-style (creamy, wet-in-the-center, made with about 100 ml of omelette batter for a 10-inch skillet) omelettes really quickly. Whereas the cooking time for a French-style omelette is typically five minutes, with this technique it is perhaps seven seconds.
I believe you are referring to the SKIP method, which near as I remember is really only used by one Dictionary publisher (at least 10 years ago, although a lot of dictionary apps I've seen include it now) and is a very modern invention.

The real reason comes down to legibility. Kanji written badly can be hard to read, and Katakana or Hiragana written improperly can throw you off as well (め、ぬ、ね、れ、わ、ろ、る、シ、ツ、ソ、ン、ク、タ、ヌ). Japanese teachers, just like teachers anywhere, try to teach good penmanship not just as a virtue, but because it makes their own lives easier to stick to the rules and to have their students stick to the rules. The language itself has also undergone some reforms since the Meiji era to standardize and regulate it, including the stroke order.
Loss ratio is a specific measure in the insurance industry. You don't need to get to 0% loss ratio for the company to be profitable and ~70% loss ratio isn't bad for a relatively new company. Typical P&C insurance companies have loss ratios ~ 50%.

Root comment stated that taking psychedelics made him want to explore the universe more. This sounds like a concrete, positive, and sane outcome. There is a voice inside the psychedelic community that does claim to preach deep fundamental truths, but there is also a reemerging scientific and clinical voice that are using psychedelics for concrete, positive, sane outcomes.

Michael Pollen’s How to Change Your Mind is a 2018 survey of this voice.
Using Go Flags in Tests
Psychedelics can cause HPPD (temporary) and Visual Snow Syndrome (permanent) in people, where they hallucinate while completely sober, sometimes indefinitely for the rest of their lives.

As someone with Visual Snow Syndrome (not contracted from drugs) it is a private living hell that risking it is not worth whatever trade off you get from discovering yourself. This is going to rub some people the wrong way on HN, but until we know more about these neurological conditions, I wouldn't recommend doing these drugs outside of a clinical setting where there are very clear benefits.
I highly disagree, mostly because I've yet to see any real long-term studies that show that taking psychedelics actually benefits people long term to the point where we should make literally everyone take it. I have an illness on the psychotic spectrum that I wasn't able to get treatment or addressment for until my 20's, which is when such disorders can begin manifesting if they are to manifest. Psychotic and dissociative disorders are also a significant portion of the human population and are often neglected or straight up ignored in discussions like this.
Honestly borders to me on being de-facto undemocratic because I doubt a lot of British citizens are aware of this or that there has been any sort of meaningful consent given by patients to outsource their data to a foreign intelligence firm.

When it comes to how to solve this I really think we need to fundamentally rethink data ownership both on a legal as well at a technical level. I was recently reading up on Tim Berners-Lee's SOLID and I think something like that should be the default for all our data. We store our own healthcare data in something akin to a pod, when the NHS uses that data they get access to it granted by the patient in a way that puts formal limits on what they can do with it and how long they have access to it, and I as the patient have both the right and technical ability to revoke that access. We really need to push for data ownership and strong guarantees for data rather than this through the backdoor process of shoving private health data to unaccountable firms.

Maybe this is something where all these smart contract and decentralisation technologies can play a meaningful role rather than being primarily used for speculative currencies.

By all means decriminalize these drugs. It's a shame they were ever made illegal in the first place.

But don't get confused about what's really going on.

"Set and Setting" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_and_setting

"Of course, the drug dose does not produce the transcendent experience. It merely acts as a chemical key..." — Timothy Leary (who ought to know.)

These drugs are like whacking the brain upside the head chemically. For most of us that's fun, but it's a crap shoot. "Bad trips" are a thing.

The possibilities for precision therapeutic techniques are in the creation of the set and setting, through structured storytelling.

(Not to make it about me but I did some psychedelics back in the day and they did not cure my depression but hypnotherapy did. YMMV.)
This is a neat company. Kind of interesting starting a new insurer at a time of near zero interest rates. My gut is by using “AI” they mostly have a cost advantage as opposed to better risk management but could be wrong and will read through the filing.

I mean haven't you ever had/heard about that guy who would describe what an amazing experience he had on drug X when someone gave him fake drugs.

It's easy to distinguish if you tried it, otherwise autosuggestion etc. could play it's part of you actually tell the placebo group you are giving them pshychodelics (not disclosing/mentioning placebo)
You're "forced" to leave in an environment with a certain structure (architecture, infrastructure) under a certain set of laws. Adding a non-damaging, mind altering temporary experience that opens people to multiple alternative thinking perspectives instead of the single one they are stuck in would be a minor addition to their already controlled and artificial environment.

Take going to primary school: sure, a minority of people are attracted on their own to rational critical learning, and would've learned on their own. But for most of us, being forced to go to school helped us immensely in our life evolution...

And going to school is a much more traumatic and permanently mind altering experience than what I suggested...
Explicit in your original question "Why do so many people need to be so extreme?" is the presumption that standing against police brutality is an extreme position to have. It preserves the status quo. It preserves a world where literal Nazis are accepted as "very fine people".

To answer your question directly, to address systemic racism in America we need to shift the Overton window of discourse. That _requires_ dissemination of values and ideas which many consider radical or unthinkable.

Beyond that, to say someone is dumb and naive because they don't think cops should be allowed to kill people is callous and ignorant when you consider blacks are three times more likely to be killed by police than whites. [https://mappingpoliceviolence.org/]

"Zero is impossible" is implicitly saying, "Cops should be allowed to kill people." Easy to say when it's not your community in the crosshairs.

Bear that in mind when you set the target date in your time machine.
> Regardless, the concept of "cultural appropriation" is absurd and dangerously ignorant.

I share your sense that "cultural appropriation" is an absurd notion. But I'm unable to provide any objective reasons for (or against) my views on this.

Does anyone know of a good, principled way to debate questions like "Is 'cultural appropriation' a concept that belongs in our ethical systems?"
Yes, exactly. I don't want to downplay the importance of praising individuals, but at the same time I don't want it to shadow praising teams.

There's a balance and I do think we tend to focus on the individual as a society. We can only climb mountains by standing on the shoulders of giants. One person gets to the peak and we should praise them for that, but we shouldn't ignore their foundation either (which I think currently happens). E.G. Kepler was an essential part of science and needs to be recognized, but if it wasn't for the work that Tycho Brahe did, Kepler's achievements couldn't exist. The "single person" mentality ignores the importance of the foundational work that needed to be done and frequently causes many to feel that they are not achieving simply because they are working in these roles, which are essential.
Astronomers substitute "lots and lots of similar objects at different stages of evolution" for time. Most of the timescales involved are longer than the time humans have existed on Earth and much longer than civilization.
My understanding is none of this research is double-blind, and by the nature of what is studied it is impossible to conduct a double-blind study.
Quoting the article:

Around 60% of packages on npm have not been updated in a year or more. Despite the lack of maintenance these packages are still downloaded billions of times.

This is a problem across many other languages/frameworks as well. Many popular packages have a single maintainer and the entry in the package manager index is accessible only by that maintainer. If that maintainer stops paying attention, the problems could be worse than the package just bitrotting, as we've seen from supply-chain attacks like event-stream[1].

There are volunteer orgs like Jazzband[2] which take group ownership of popular packages to ensure ongoing maintenance, but I've not seen many of those so far.

> They common quality is that the experiences sound disconnected from reality. They try to explain the experience and are fully convinced they learned some fundamental truth but can't explain it in any way that makes sense.

$0.02 — psychedelics help you understand the way the world is by allowing you to temporarily experience the way the world isn't. most of these fundamental truths just get verbalized as platitudes because, well, they're widely-understood fundamental truths. the benefit is in examining them with a new parallax.

> there seems to be a lot of downside in breaking critical thinking in a lot of people's heads.

agreed inasmuch as psychedelics sometimes do induce long-lasting, harmful delusions. but...the upside of breaking critical thinking for a little while is that you get to experience its limits as a mode of engaging with the world. and you get to put it back together from its constituent parts, and occasionally find that one of those parts might not belong in there.
There is _something_ that one can discover when they try psychedelics. It is a non-normal experience and so by definition will have novel data. Is it useful though? So many people couldn't have been flatly wrong (but they said that about religion) - so there could be something to it. One of that is the realization that our sensory inputs, how we process them, and also how we understand ourselves, the world, and the separateness of the self from everything around us - are not preordained. The way we look at all of them is not the only way. We think the way we think because we've evolved to it. What we see is not the objective reality; it is just a filter through which we perceive it. This experience can allow someone who's prepared for it, to break out of their own patterned ways of thinking.

But - there is a reason we've evolved to perceive reality in this way. It allows us to survive. Material concerns - health, wealth, status etc. and extractive consumption which messes up "nature", and having ego/identity distinct from nature -- all of this serve useful, vital purposes. A person who's constantly tripping will find it difficult to survive both in modern and ancient times long enough to propagate their genes.

People search for profundity in these experiences, and sure there are some. But to really understand the world and nature, I think the lens of science - observation, empiricism, and the scientific process is a better bet. There unfortunately really isn't anything _deeper_ about life. And whatever there is, personal introspection aided by psychedelics cannot hold a candle against organized human scientific endeavor.

Also, messing with one's brain is dangerous. It is one of the least understood human organs, irreplaceable, and fundamental to life like few other things.
The fact that I can point at both colleagues and strangers on the internet with the same issues makes me think it's actually just crap software that doesn't work.
The intensity of cultural appropriation claims is proportional to the amount of plausible deniability in currency, which is most American culture at this point. We can thank the faux-prima facie legalism of American ethics for Black culture evolving to be so terribly intolerant of ambiguity. Enough Black people have had to hear the term "It's just a joke", amongst other forms of plausible deniability.I hope this helps make it clearer where this intolerance comes from. I'm not a fan of this, but transparent behavior generally takes two to tango.
I know that's how the saying goes, but I don't think I would be saying now that I'd wish I had gone traveling if I had not done it. I'm pretty such I would not be wishing for traveling if I'm at the same state of happiness as I am now, and I could have reached the same level of happiness in life if I did not travel (possibly even earlier).

Traveling objectively made me worse off than if I had not done it.

I’m going with the author on this: npm, pip, and friends will be the 2050’s cobol, but supporting them will be an order of magnitude harder.

Startup idea: snapshot package managers every 6 months or so. Provide access to the snapshots for free. Once enterprises are “hooked”, and fall off the nightly upgrade train, charge out the nose for backported security updates.

I guess this is similar to the RHEL model, but I suspect it’s even stickier.

The whole point of the effect is that, while the pan reaches such a high temperature, the egg does not because it is insulated by a layer of steam.

> This indicates that there is an underlying meta-ability that explains all of these different abilities.

It suggests that such a meta-ability might exist, but doesn't prove anything. It's also possible that these abilities are discrete but are correlated because they're subject to selection as a package... sort of like how physical coordination and endurance are probably selected for at the same time.

In any case the existence of such a meta-ability doesn't mean intelligence is one dimensional unless you re-define intelligence so as to exclude everything that can't be tied to that ability.

"Everything is connected" is a description of the sensation, not a statement of a scientific fact.

My personal experience was like this: This was nearly 30 years ago, I was 13 and invested some time in 'accidentally' meditating - I just looked at a spot on my roof for a long time. Then suddenly - wham - I literally feel a deep connection between everything I look at. The trees outside my window, the world, everything.

Let me provide an analogue. You can feel pain, yes? You can feel moving your foot? You feel your hands are part of you? Well, it was like that, only, I felt that everything was connected.

Was it just neurons firing in my head, creating a strange mode of sensations for a while? Yes. Was it devoid of deeper scientific significance? Yes. Was it profound? Hell yes.

Deeply spiritual experiences don't need to be mystical or attached to a larger theological context. They can be taken as a non-magical, psychological state of mind just like sleep or orgasm. This does not make them any less profound.
