Honestly a fair number of studies have been done and the problem with all that stuff is there's always been a relatively high rate of complications and adverse outcomes. Responses/experiences are hard to predict.

I get that in some people it can be a wonderful thing, nearly a miracle cure. I've done plenty of psychedelics myself, but I always find the insistence by proponents that any harm done is the fault of the user ("poor preparation", "not the right setting", "inexperienced guide", etc, etc) to be really disingenuous and unscientific. Like, there are legit some people that really won't respond well to this as therapy.

Now, conventional pharmaceuticals and therapy have the same issues, but the reality is psychedelic therapies have never been a clear favorite.

Having emacs commands by default on native apps is a really nice detail. It's nearly impossible to do on Windows since there's already a bunch of shortcuts using control. On Linux it's definitely doable but you have to install a keyboard shortcuts app, get an emacs profile, etc.

If only reddit didn't use C-b to insert bold text, it'd make navigating in text boxes a lot easier.
Think about a program that can write code but not execute it. It’s not hard to get a transformer to learn to write python code like merge sort or simple arithmetic code, even though a transformer can’t reasonably learn to sort, nor can it learn simple arithmetic. It’s an important disambiguation. In one view it appears it can’t (learn to sort) and in another it demonstrably can (learn to code up a sort function). It can learn to usefully manipulate the language without needing the capacity to execute the language. They probably can’t learn to “execute” what you’re talking about (execute being a loose analogy), but I’d say the jury’s out on whether they can learn to usefully manipulate it.

For all things related to color in data visualization, I can fully recommend the R-package colorspace. For example, the package features colorblind friendly palettes and also the possibility to emulate different forms of color vision deficieny.

Nothing wrong with an older appliance, except that you get what you pay. It might be too power hungry or hot, it might be unsupported/obsolete [1][2] or too slow, e.g. Core 2 Duo can barely play FullHD YouTube videos; AV1 and H265 are also too slow on the first generations of Core CPUs (i5-520M, i3-2120).

For these reasons I've recently avoided buying anything before Haswell - the first generation with AVX-2 instructions. I would have preferred Broadwell or Skylake because of the new Intel graphics Linux driver [3], but they were too expensive.

The fare recovery of New York City Transit is 47%, so the true cost to the taxpayer would be $912/resident/year using your numbers. The numbers are higher still if you scope to residents over 18.
Which is the one with Cassandra? Maybe they should do that one.
Mozilla would be smart to build up and endowment while Firefox still has a user base and is still paid for searches by Google.

I'd be really hesitant to subscribe to Firefox because looking at other things the company has done (Pocket, for one, and I feel mixed about dropping Thunderbird) and how Firefox was left to languish as Chrome gained a user base, I'm not sure this is something I want to directly support.
I'd argue it's significantly more complex because you don't have access to the C++ AST, templates are ultimately non-hygienic macros, their results are invisible to both developer and user, and potential errors are inscrutable. They're difficult to abstract over, and you will wind up repeating yourself quite often since you can't just write normal C++ code with C++ includes for helper functions and data structures.

I should be more clear about what I meant on the bug. C++ templates force you to understand the entirety of the language at once and hack around its edges because it doesn't support actual meta programming. It's hard for me to come up with a concrete example, but my experience writing some advanced compile-time evaluation with SFINAE patterns left me forgetting how things worked within minutes of typing them. Compare to say Rust, where the generics implementation is much cleaner and macro system better flushed out and easier to read/understand. Or the LISPs where your macro is just more LISP code.

And not for nothing, templates destroy compile times. They take a long time to write and edit and make everyone else using them work slower. All told, templates do not make it easier to write C++ except in trivial cases and first-order abstractions.

The Fed’s Instant Payment network is due to be live in 2023 or 2024 (with supposedly minimal costs compared to credit transactions). It would behoove the EFF to lean on the Fed to roll that out alongside this legislation ("here's the problem, here's the solution").

Getting the unbanked and underbanked is a similar policy issue: support the post office operating as a bank with reasonable fees, as is done in other countries. What’s it cost to maintain deposit accounts at scale for Americans unbanked? Roughly $5MM-$10MM a year in administration expenses. This is a rounding error in the federal budget.
I have yet to meet a privacy advocate on HN that doesn't want police detectives to have an impossible job. If you disagree, please share how you believe detective work is compatible with strong privacy.

And if you are about to say "as long as they have a warrant..." keep in mind that the warrant is likely to access privacy-violating information that should not have been collected in the first place (according to privacy advocates).

The point they were making wasn't about the software's objective cost but it's subjective one compared to the ~$500 pdf reader and not taking device which can't really be called a necessity. You're being obstinate.
Not good timing.

Encouraging people to ride transit during a pandemic isn't a particularly bright idea.
People are too rich to care in Western Europe. Perhaps if you sell it with some environmental marketing and get Greta onboard as mascot or something, then it could become trendy to buy used, like minimalism and zero waste. But it's still a subculture niche. You could also rely on poor people (immigrants, students etc) as customers, but there's not much profit to be made based on poor people.
The article talks specifically about colorblindness and how you should look at your visualizations in greyscale to ensure the colours are still distinct.
This might be kind of "unfair" for under 18 people living in smaller towns or in rural areas: they must have a car or motorbike to do everything, which is expensive (purchase, gas, repair); while transport is not very expensive in Paris to start with (~80€ per month adult price).
If you think surveillance and/or governmental action as a whole is unethical, then it only follows that you'd be against any streamlining or increasing efficiency of said systems. If a government does evil things -- and governments do evil things pretty often -- then the rational conclusion is to muddle the bureaucracy and make it as ineffective as possible.
you know deep down that the only thing that can get us through this Pandemic is this: wake up and realize its not worse than the flu. If we want to end this nightmare we need to stop being scared. How do we do this: stop watching the news and hold the people responsible that created this mess.
I agree there’s resentment of technocrats. But sadly so many problems can’t just “leave people alone” - issues like a pandemic to global warming are one big system that requires expertise. That expertise needs to be checked, but I don’t see how educated technocrats charged with solving these problems mind their business
This is another big part of the problem. While at my current company management is a separate track on paper, many still view it as a promotion (including my lead). But if that's not the "promotion" you give them, what is it?

Even if you make it a separate track, it's hard to define what the promotion looks like for more senior engineers, especially at successful companies. When you have $2M of cash in the bank thanks to stock, does a 10% pay bump from senior to staff matter? Does the title bump matter? How can you reward a long-standing successful senior engineer in a way that seems meaningful?

This isn't a question I have an answer to, but "make them a manager" is definitely the wrong one. The majority of my managers have told me how jealous they are that I get to code all day. More than one has told me straight up they do not want to manage. I've watched several teams implode under managers like that.

I think it's completely valid to not want to manage. Hopefully your lead doesn't pressure you to take such a role in the future. But have you thought about what success would look like in your career otherwise?

It is also valid to not be particularly ambitious, to enjoy the craft of software engineering until you retire, and spend the mental energy you would spend on getting promoted on hobbies, family, advocacy, or whatever else brings value to your life... though it can be hard for those of us who are more ambitious to realize that.
It doesn't support the anti-fingerprinting measures of TOR.

I don't thing you can block fingerprinting in Chromium. We can only fake it. There is no flag to outright block the fingerprinting.

And things like first party isolation and other about:config tweaks.
Chrome is interesting because Firefox shows it could actually be a standalone business, and it's one of the scarier ones to let Google keep because of how much power it gives it.
Shouldn’t there be a way to relocate the bits so that the L1 and L2 caches are still happy but the data structures aren’t contiguous? Is the main problem that they are all malloced sequentially?
Agreed, I have no idea why racial/cultural homogeneity is an argument against public services. It has always seemed to me to be a roundabout way of saying “We can’t do it in the US because minorities would ruin it”
A couple friends and I started a Chess Puzzle app (Chess Puzzle Blitz) and chess.com + COVID-19 is a big reason there has been a massive rally in Twitch. Most players you see on Twitch and that have been talked about in this thread are signed to exclusive twitch streaming agreements by chess.com - Chess.com is very profitable. Downside is it solidifies their position as the dominant online player. Upside is it does make chess more known and watched worldwide.
Assuming that the third party in this scenario is distinct from the party serving the bundle, they wouldn't be involved in the TLS/QUIC connection, right?

So it seems like a third party wouldn't even know that their resource was delivered, unless the party delivering the bundle notified them, or their script makes a separate request to their own server. (And those are options already, so AFAIK bundles wouldn't give third parties any new capabilities.)
I agree.

I think the police are, too; I expected to have seen some Kent State-style attacks by now given how insanely violent and trigger-happy they've been. This is not to minimize the tremendous blunt-force and chemical injuries they've incurred in any way, but I'm still surprised the police haven't caused more of their usual style of shooting deaths.
Are You Ready to Eat Lab Meat?
It is important to consider that cash is not “free” to accept and handle (consider the needs for safe storage and depositing, as well as losses due to skimming and other forms of theft). The overhead in handling cash, for some business sectors, greatly exceeds the transaction costs associated with credit and debit cards. An option that preserves privacy but doesn’t have the overhead of cash is needed.
I do wonder what will happen when we arrive at a point in the future where a country has developed perfect ICBM intercept technology. Of course there is still the submarine and bomber approach as well but they can’t as easily be dialed up in literal minutes.
There is no Google-free future for anyone. They are more powerful than all governments.
“fantasy”? I lived it and I’m likely at least a decade or more younger than you if you did too.

Yes, I read a/the hardcover book on 432 and was really impressed. There was a slow build for that architecture because it was so different than x86.

Itanium is as I said and the downvote, plus raising the competing architecture that crushed DEC into oblivion once Carly “That Face” Fiorina bought Compaq/DEC and you guys finally got your paws on it and your insult (“fantasy”) tells me where you are coming from. I only hope you are retired (either in Microsoft or on Social Security )
Yeah, I gathered you knew what you were talking about after I had already posted my comment lol. Just left it up in case any others have that question. :D
Sure, my first computer was a 486 at the time my friends had Pentium2 . Nothing wrong with a poor kid getting a slower computer and this computer had to wait a few more years before was thrown to garbage (I passed it to a cousin when I had more money to get something more powerful that could play mp3s )
What is exactly the demographics in Paris that makes you think there will be more pickpockets?!?

From what I understand most pickpockets target tourists (lots of cash, cameras, ...) or rich people (expensive watches, necklaces, bags, ...).
That's absolutely delightful, thanks for the read !

I love the Terry Pratchett reference too!
On of the reasons, perhaps a less important reason ethically but nonetheless, is that China has breached the terms of the territorial handover agreement.

The agreement does not grant China full control to do whatever it likes over the territory at this time.

So legally, in response, Westerners in the form of the UK still have some kind of duty towards the people there.

A second reason, which I rank higher ethically, is that just by virtue of people existing, we still have a duty to demand better treatment for people who are being treated badly, especially when it's an imposed political event (and therefore can be changed) which is going to radically change their lives for the worse as they see it. Landmass connection or not.
Journalism's duty (implied by the press' constitutional protections) is to hold the powerful accountable.
Yeah, it's awful for multiple reasons.
"In the video above, I used the color tool Paletton to start with a tetradic harmony and then decrease the distance. Note how more beautiful the color combinations become."

Uhhh... no, I don't get how the end is more "beautiful". How do you determine what is a beautiful color combination, and what is not?
> The URL clearly refutes the parent comment that the only damage done by the protestors are vehicles and buildings getting set on fire.

You seem to assert that the murders itemized in that URL were committed by protesters.

It's not reasonable to assume that any murders that happen at or near protests were caused by protestors and not opportunistic criminals that aren't invested in the protest one way or another, just as it's not reasonable to assume that police are justified in shooting anyone whose hands they can't see.

The violence imposed by police is documented, because police are in uniform uniform, and zero non-cops are wearing those uniforms. There is no plain way to distinguish between opportunistic-criminals-present-at-a-protest and protesters.

Indeed, during all of this, it has been documented that sometimes police have engaged in violence whilst wearing all black and not identified as police.
Right or wrong, I suggest you and others go back to interviews of Kissinger about why he pushed to open the world to China the way the US did. It was essentially do it on our terms now or theirs for ever after. Not that it was right, but it is informative.
That's actually a fantastic idea. Like that one service here not long ago that sent letters to Chase opting out of arbitration. Some company that can figure out the exact verbiage needed and contact address, and send off as needed.

With enough updates and utility, that I'd consider a monthly subscription for.
The essence of tragedy is a conflict between two equal values. Despite some superficial similarities, we generally don't share ancient Greek values and so we cannot properly experience this conflict. These are beautiful works of art but they won't resonate with us like they did with the original audiences.

The example they use is Antigone. However, the unburied body goes deeply against the ancestor worship common for early societies. While we honour our ancestors, worship is largely gone not just for ancestors but from our daily lives in general with the lessening or religious practices.

There's no debating with results, and if it helps, go for it, but I doubt moderns can feel catharsis when watching a performance of ancient plays like Greeks did.
Which gives a proper incentive for people to urbanise, which is a good thing. Not to mention that Paris is also one of the principal sources of public revenue to begin with.
lol

Sounds like a business opportunity.
Was it former territory? China has seen various power takeovers since the start of British rule in Hong Kong. In 1842, was ruled by the Qing dynasty, in 1912 it became the Republic of China, and in 1949, the Chinese Communist Party took over, leaving Taiwan to the Nationalist government. So you could also argue that Hong Kong should have been returned to Taiwan. Not that that could have happened, but it's not clear cut, IMO.
Me too. Realistically this is far beyond our budget available :-\

I hope one day we can do this.
It's not weird to reject arbitrary complexity.

The most important issues is the 'lack of value' - not anything else.

Complexity compounds to imbue cost geometrically, we don't need stuff 'because', we need stuff that solves real problems.
Probably somewhat lower than $429/resident/year since transit agencies spend significant resources on labor and maintenance just operating the fare collection.

(Sorry, looked but didn’t fare collection cost numbers in the MTA budget)
I don't doubt there are examples, but they are surely in the minority nowadays.

Also worth noting that anything built for dotnet framework 4.6.2+ (4.6.2 was released in 2016) will run just fine under Core CLR.
> For better or worse, we can expect further blurring of many conventional boundaries—between work and home, between “amateurs” and professionals, and between public and private.

Recently having a child, I'm definitely finding this blurring of amateurs and pros to be true. There's so many blogs and sites that say different things, it's hard to know what or who to believe. I wish there were just one highly-regarded expert source so that I could just go with what they say and not have to research every little thing.
Wow, comparing punishing people that Commit crimes to wholesale genocide and organ harvesting.
This might be important, like a form of therapy based on counselling, thinking or talk seems beneficial for success of drug based psychotherapy. Whether it is better, we should learn properly and not assume. If it's not, we're wasting time. (Or perhaps it works better for true believers, that's an important thing to know as well.)

It is good to remember though that these approaches exist, and to let them be practiced safely and openly. As well as researched without interrupting it.

A tour guide does specific things.
We could know what makes for a good or bad one.

Is a person who fakes the practice as good as a native life long taught shaman? Which kind of shaman is best? Is tailoring the experience needed and in what way? Etc.
For folks looking for more complex options than Back and Forward events, USBOverdrive serves that need, but requires a kext. (It also fixes an issue with older Razer mice not having working mouseover support on macOS due to, iirc, their invalid M16 signaling.)
