Me too. I always get this sense that I've been asleep my whole life during and after the experience. For instance, the seemingly mundane things (wall, ground, chair, window, tree, bird, etc) are perceived in a sacred light.
Ask HN: Which resources have most positively influenced the way you live life?
Some resources seem to have come my way when I most needed them and positively influenced my life. Here are some and why:

1.CODE by Charles Petzold (book) - this book is single-handedly responsible for getting me into programming and starting my own business.

2. The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle (book) - you can watch your thoughts, woah! I now do this every single day. Every hour I pretty much catch myself thinking about stuff and... I'm aware that's happening.

3. Naval Ravikant at the Joe Rogan Experience (podcast episode) - Listening to Naval has made me so much confident about everything I can accomplish as a human being and has changed my life's focus entirely.

4. The Last Dance, Netflix (TV series) - young Michael Jordan also had idols he looked up to and wanted to be like. He became one of them and eventually better than his own idols with hard work. Perhaps that something I can too accomplish?
In theory: Yes. In practical terms: Hardly.

Getting a large enough group of contributors is hard. For Linux this works since it was built over decades and contributors come from variety of backgrounds (students who want to learn, hardware companies who want to have support of their hardware, users who want it to be fast, companies which want to make it sort of a product (distributors etc.))

For "end user" software like firefox this is harder. In the kernel a contributor can start by providing a self contained device driver. Such a concept doesn't exist in a browser in similar form. From such a driver the kernel contributor can grow into neighboring subsystems.

Google decided to go with Chrome. Microsoft jump on their ship and is unlikely to switch, again.

Who else could push this? Facebook (would we like that!?), Twitter, Amazon?

In that case USB-C/Thunderbolt won't work, in the default config you need to trust the device and cable before anything too interesting can happen. This can be turned off via bios setting though, so there's room for misconfiguration.

E-SATA or PCIe hotplug might still work. However the former is getting less common, and the latter is uncommon in consumer mainboards.

If you wanted to start a club, and you called this club the Ku Klux Klan, people would assume you were a bunch of racists, even if you insisted you totally weren't. Even if, in reality, you actually weren't.

"Antifa" is a bad name to choose if you don't want people to assume you're a bunch of communists, just like "Ku Klux Klan" is a bad name to choose if you don't want people to assume you're a bunch of racists.
That's a disappointing update. I hope they enjoy their new position at least.
> That doesn't make sense. Trump is pro Russia and anti China. Chinese facing more heat now than in the past 50 years.

Trump is schizophrenic on China. His "anti-China" attitudes right now seem more of a function of a need for an external enemy to blame/distract from his domestic failures. His trade war with China occurred around the same time he initiated trade disputed with even allied nations. There are even indications that he is not bothered by, and perhaps even approves of, Chinese human rights violations (e.g. IIRC Bolton has said he expressed approval of the Xinjiang camps directly to Xi).

I believe some of his advisors are more opposed to current Chinese government actions, but Trump's shown a willingness to do foreign policy 180s against their advice before.
I'm 49 and for as long as I can remember, every American that knew economics, when talking about France and Japan, would say the nations would fall apart economically soon and would have to reform to market-based approaches -- less social safety net, less worker protections, etc. Decades pass and while France and Japan have their problems, they seem to do okay. The US seems to have more problems despite (because of?) its approaches.
Yeah, I've run into this recently while adding SCIM support to our system. I had to reread the RFCs and docs repeatedly to reassure myself that JWTs were not actually a requirement for the OAuth2 bearer token. It's complete overkill for what we need but the implementation lib I was trying to use assumes it and it was really complicating things unnecessarily.

Funny thing though, we use ergoloid derivatives in western medicine too.

These are alpha-blockers for treating migraines or hypertension. There are psychotropic drugs based on these as well, and a bunch of discredited nootropics.

Now, high BDNF on its own is not a good or bad thing. It is released both when injuries and when growth happens...

I would be very careful recommending a shaman, unless you happen to have evidence for how well traditional approach to treatment works compared to recent drugs or current mental health treatments, or a precise description of what those people do, as it's more than just "take this drug and go home". We could use such studies for sure, and not for cultural appropriation!

We lack sufficient data to recommend for or against. (Partly because countries virtually banned research because "drugs" are "bad". Others are trying to hold it exclusive for their culture, which is wrong too. I think they should stand to gain from it if it works.)

I'd rather we be in a situation where we have to make sure businesses pay their taxes, then a situation where we can't pay in cash.

Right now, the payment industry is very consolidated and Visa/Mastercard have a monopoly on transaction processing. It's expensive, and a privacy nightmare. Maybe when there is a government sponsored option that doesn't sell your information to anyone who wants it it'll be fine, but until then- No.

There's also the big reason that there is large parts of our population that don't have access to the regular banking system for one reason or another. Once you get black marks on your banking record and get kicked out, it will be very hard to get back in.

It is also true that when we could have been exploring psychedelics back in the 60/70's, but they were made illegal mostly as a political backlash to the counterculture -- thus pretty much stifling the last 50 years of research on them.

"Punching-the-hippy" politics aside, the political leaders told us there was nothing beneficial ever about those drugs, and we typically believed them, even lumping scientists who wanted to study them in the same camp as the "UFO Cranks".

So the question is, is it western medicine that's the issue, or the lack of science based politics?

> May be worth mentioning--JWTs are not part of the OAuth /OIDC standard.

JWTs are a part of the OIDC standard; from the standard itself[1],

> The primary extension that OpenID Connect makes to OAuth 2.0 to enable End-Users to be Authenticated is the ID Token data structure. The ID Token is a security token that contains Claims about the Authentication of an End-User by an Authorization Server when using a Client, and potentially other requested Claims. The ID Token is represented as a JSON Web Token (JWT) [JWT].

But your comment sounds like you're conflating OAuth & OIDC. (It is true for OAuth that you're not required to use JWTs.)

I agree with all of that and even though one team is currently (way) more overt, this is an old arms-race dynamic. It subsists by one side always fueling the other.
‘scorched earth’, wasting a valuable square on a low-scoring move, say (as an extreme example) by playing a blank tile on a triple-character square, just to deny the next player from using it, can also be a valuable tactic at times.

Many people don’t realize that, in competitive games, the goal isn’t to make a high score, it is to make a score that’s higher than that of your opponents.

Another game where many players dont realize that is Twister (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twister_(game) ). You shouldn’t play to make it easy for yourself to stay in play, you should play to make it easier for you than for your opponents to stay in play. In general, that means occupying circles close to your opponent, rather than those easily reachable by you. You should try to ‘lock’ your opponents in a corner of the playing area.

1997. 1999 was Macau.

I lived in Hong Kong until 1995. The Basic Law is supposed to apply for 50 years, so we should only be about halfway through that. The sense in the HK expat community at the time was skepticism that it would make it the whole way unchallenged, but that China "needed" HK, so it wouldn't rock the boat too much.

Of course, now that is no longer the case. Any optimism we had at the time of the handover was rooted in HK's economic importance but China went and built Shenzhen into a bigger, better Hong Kong within two decades. Still a Special Economic Zone but without all the pesky political baggage.

> You say you're more productive but are you producing the right things?

This is often a problem even when people are spending the day in the office. It is not obvious that working from home makes this problem worse.

Sometimes you get an information on Monday, a contradictory one on Tuesday, and a completely different "final" version on Wednesday. Suppose you missed the version from Tuesday because you were not in the office. How much harm actually happened?

Generally, when a resource is abundant, it becomes cheaper to abuse it. In the age of corporate-agile, managers often don't even bother to think their decisions to the end, because hey, we can still change the plan tomorrow. Nobody bothers to write meeting minutes, because there is another meeting soon anyway. Not sure if it's just my bubble, but even having a flipchart with notes is becoming a rarity.

I would enjoy the return of the culture where we thought whether we are producing the right thing before I already had half of the code written.
This is exactly my impression too. E.g. the OP article begins with characterizing anarchists as out of touch dreamers: Anarchists are simply people who believe human beings are capable of behaving in a reasonable fashion without having to be forced to. Judging by the name of the site it appears to be a positive characteristic too, which adds to confusion.
The LSD study captures the same effect actually. There is no sustained BDNF increase outside the 6 hour window they measured. In fact, it's seems as if the BDNF is entirely eliminated at the end of the 6 hours.

From this, I'd guess one wouldn't see a sustained increase in BDNF levels from microdosing either.
I had a brief moment of technological joy when I worked at a place that had strict rules about leaving your computer unlocked, which I always struggled with.

I had this new Symbian phone with Bluetooth (2?) and there was an app you could get for OS X that would lock your machine when it lost BT signal.

That's because there actually is a comment in /etc/resolv.conf on MacOS telling you that it isn't used by the libraries there. This is ironic, given the context here.

# Mac OS X Notice
#
# This file is not used by the host name and address resolution
# or the DNS query routing mechanisms used by most processes on
# this Mac OS X system.
#
# This file is automatically generated.

/etc/resolv.conf hasn't been the place for this for the past 17 years, this having changed in MacOS 10.3. It's in the system preferences plist now, modifiable with the networksetup tool.

And you've clearly never seen https://community.cleanbrowsing.org/knowledge-base/change-dn... or its ilk. (-:

That’s likely true, but I still feel the prevalence for cities to be relatively more cosmopolitan (for a variety of reasons) still holds. The incentives are for them to become more aligned with other cities than their own nations.

Spring WebFlux Soap Call
As someone who makes it a point to pay in cash (pre-pandemic), I wouldn't have a problem with the ability to balk at $50 or $100 bills (even though fifties are the new twenties). It should probably be stated as a percentage of the transaction though - let's say a business could refuse to give change more than 20% of the total. That's restrictive enough that businesses would be free to adopt the strict policy (total has to be at least $84 to pay with a $100), or relax a bit to something reasonable (say $70 for a $100).

edit: Thinking about it, a fixed ratio wouldn't work well, otherwise you'd need to spend $17 to guarantee paying with a $20. Good thresholds might be $80/$35/$10 to reflect the increased incentive to pass larger counterfeit bills.
> This can be optimized away but is not guaranteed. Async/await will not allocate in Rust.

That makes Rusts solution sound better. But in reality things are a bit more differentiated. Both solutions are not zero cost abstractions for various use-cases. And depending on your use-case one or the other solution might end up being better.

From the user perspective, a big difference is that Rusts `Future`s are lazy (will only do something when polled), while C++ coroutines and the `task` frameworks on top of them are not. Besides influencing the way concurrency can be performed within these environments, this e.g. also has an impact on the stack usage of the solution (Rusts Futures can require a terrible amount of stack just to create the final composed Future).

Then there is the "interface" question. As far as I understand you can have virtual coroutine functions on classes the same way that you can an other functions. But you can't have the same in Rust at the moment. The "async-trait" crate gives you that ability again - but with the drawback that you now have a mandatory allocation (instead of the often elided one in C++).

Overall C++ coroutines are a lot more flexbile than Rusts async/await. The behavior can specified by overriding the promise type, storage type, behavior of co_await, etc. You can make a generator out of it, but also an async function. Rusts async functions are targetted purely at the async function use-case - which might make them a bit easier to understand.

Even within that use-case they are more constrainted. E.g. with C++ coroutines you can do things like "thread-hopping" - `co_await method_that_moves_me_to_other_thread()`. Rusts executor idea wants you to resume your piece of work on the same task (which imho think is nearly always a better idea!).

Another difference is that Rusts "resume/Waker" mechanism is designed for a multithreaded environments - it will take a needless performance hit in a pure singlethreaded shared-nothing environment(think Seastar). With the C++ solution you might be able to avoid that - but at the cost of the framework and language not providing you any thread-safety at all.
