"Psychedelics are a fundamentally neutral substance. What I mean by that is, that they and the experience, are neither good nor bad."

There are a significant number of people who view the psychedelic substances they use as teachers, as sacred, as emissaries of gods or other supernatural beings, or as those beings themselves.

Though such views are often dismissed as superstition or magical thinking by many who consider themselves part of "advanced", "civilized" societies, and who view these substances more as neutral tools, such societies' confrontation with these substances is relatively young, and I suspect that as they gain more experience with them their views will change.

Use of these substances have already been the wellspring from which multiple religions have come, and the potential for them to spawn more major religious movements, and with them a much more deferential attitude towards and view of these substances, will only grow as their use increases.

> I don't want my tablet's battery to be user replaceable! not as much as I want it to be thin, and solid, and resistant to splashes

Why do you think these things are mutually exclusive? Every time some manufacture has made a phone without a replaceable battery there has been some other manufacture making a device the same or smaller or thinner or lighter that had a replaceable battery and that was splash proof proving this is not some tradeoff that has to be made.
I think we're saying the same thing. I was saying it's like thinking of 'a' A as an X and 'b' B as a Y.

If you can get a DNS path with DNSSEC, this bypasses the ISP's ability to manipulate your DNS.
Of course, DNS over HTTP is another solution to the same, for browsers.
Of course one could also tunnel through.

It's good that it hasn't happened in the US yet, the US luckily has pretty strong institutions it turns out.

But just looking at number of times a democratically elected senate has been dissolved throughout history (Rome, Japan (rise of imperial japan), Germany (third reich), Iran (iranian revolution), etc), there has indeed been a lot of "masquerading as a democracy" going on.

Separation of powers makes it harder to raise a dictator but in some cases it's just another piece of legislation away. Hence, I think Americans ought not to take our democracy for granted.

Elixir seems to encourage simple data structures — everything is made up of basic data structures, and since there's no encapsulation, libraries seem to be built with an attitude of "developers are gonna inspect everything so we might as well make things clear and simple". I only noticed this in contrast to libraries in popular OO languages (most recently Python) where everything is done through objects that often have inscrutable instance variables and "missing" methods/methods that library authors simply haven't gotten around to implementing.

Having a small library of functions operating on a small number of data structures makes programming a lot more intuitive than a large number of classes, each with their bespoke set of things you can do to them.
> why can't it be used?

It's not Lua. This is not a thread about things missing from C. It's a thread about things missing from Lua. Suggesting to just use an entirely different language is bizarrely mishandling the issue.

I feel like the question is humorously akin to asking why a plain text reader can't portray a jpeg. It can, of course, if you write a description of the jpeg in a text file. Naturally, I should have been more clear.

> Not allowed to use modules written in C? Or lack a C compiler?

Often. The moment you start writing things like plugins for lay people, you stop being able to say "you should just grab a compiler".

> And isn't the saying in the Python community "the standard library is where modules go to die"?

People say dumb things all the time. We shouldn't begrudge them.

[edit] HN doesn't want to let me reply to your reply. I guess it doesn't like conversations. :(

> But doesn't Python also support modules written in C?

Whether a language _allows_ you to implement libraries in other languages is orthogonal to whether it should have standard implementations of basic things that are both extremely common and also often nontrivial to implement correctly and performantly for the person who needs the functionality right now.

> Or is it because the standard Python library is so large that it's not needed as often?

The Python standard library being so complete is probably the biggest reason why people love Python. Also, Python libraries get written in C exclusively for performance in cases where performance is paramount because Python is rather slow and frivolous with RAM. It's only done for things that are computationally intense (numpy, pytorch, etc). If Python were as fast as LuaJIT, nobody would write any Python libraries in C (excluding thin interfaces).
Seems like one of the more plausible reasons to me. Especially when public shame is involved.

I didn't at any point claim it was impossible. I said batteries are a trade off. If you want a thin and lightweight phone with a user serviceable battery, you're going to have to sacrifice capacity. If you want user serviceable and high capacity you're going to at least sacrifice on thickness.

I also didn't claim to know what is good for consumers. It should be obvious that given the choice between thick and heavy or thin and light consumer sales have favored thin and light for the past decade. That's not me dictating what is good, it's just me paying attention to the smartphone market for more than ten minutes.

I am happy for you that you find phones and laptops that last you a long time. Bully for you. But you are not the bulk of the smartphone or laptop market. You represent a tiny portion of both markets. I know this because you have to hunt down phones and laptops with replaceable batteries while pretty much everything on sale at BestBuy is all glued together. Buy the shit that you want but don't pretend that you represent some silent majority quietly yearning to replace batteries in their phones and swap hard drives in their laptops.
Indians (or people present in common day india-pakistan-nepal) were drinking milk before 5500 BC..makes you wonder. And most of that was fermented (cheese (paneer) and yogurt). Makes you wonder if the fermentation made it easier to eat and helped developed the gene.

The posted article briefly discusses PACELC and Kleppmann says he doesn't find it any more enlightening than CAP.

PACELC is an improvement over CAP in some sense because it is a finer-grained characterization of distributed systems, but it still suffers from the problem that the stated properties are too strong. As Kleppmann explains in the article, there are systems that strictly only fulfill the partition tolerance part of the equation, yet are still very practically useful. This is because while they may not satisfy strict linearizability and availability, they have softer guarantees (e.g. defining "availability" as "99% of requests complete in 1 second") that we can rely on in practice. This reasoning extends to PACELC as well.

I am inclined to agree with Kleppmann. CAP, and by consequence PACELC are useful mental models in the extreme, but their characterizations are really strong. It seems to me that e.g. probabilistic guarantees based on actual failure statistics are much more useful for the real world, because they aren't as strong as CAP/PACELC guarantees.

Edit: I am also not sure if I agree with calling CAP "dumb". It's a very useful theoretical result in a particular model. I think the problem is when people try to extend the implications of the theorem beyond the restricted model it operates in.
You never answered the question. Not once. You are not even trying. You changed the topic to me 'advocating' for this phone when I, to clarify to you for the third time, was responding to someone who I felt was stating that it's technically impossible to build phones with replaceable batteries.

For once, just once, I'd like to hear you say something even slightly bad about Apple. Come on, just once?
This argument fails when you consider Google pushing AMP on news organizations. It is akin to a news stand telling newspaper publishers "if you print your paper using my font and paper, I'll put you front and center, otherwise enjoy your paper's new placement on the back shelves".
This doesn't seem like hindering anything. There's no legal block, there's no stopping you from RTFM and following the steps, it's not as if the author is even hiding the steps.

I didn't mean "it is impossible to build logic incorporating the number of parameters passed to a function", but rather "there will be no difference between calling an ordinary Lua function with (a, b, nil) vs (a, b), unlike table.insert, without extensive effort"

Sooner or later, a budding Lua programmer makes an index an optional, last parameter to a function, and then passes it through to `insert`.

If what you're inserting happens to be a number, this silently does the wrong thing. Suffice to say I won't ever forget this particular wart on what's become my favorite language.

In Toronto (Canada) our transit is free for those 12 and under. At first it caused a fair amount of fraud because adults were using the kid's passes. Easy enough to get around: kids don't need to use passes now, either. There are Proof of Age cards for the kids who look older than 12, though. Adults can't usually take advantage of that, so apparently that has solved the problem.
CAP is trivial and doesn’t tell you anything except that you can’t have all three things perfectly. It says nothing about the various trade-offs.

Often you can just let the people choose whether to accept the latest state of a particular partition of the database, or wait until it becomes consistent again.
There’s an age factor here, or maybe a certain phase in programmers’ growth (which sometimes they can cycle back into).

I am not that old, but I am old enough to remember a time when I was really into those power features. Over time you get burned by having to change platforms during career evolution, you get other things taking up your spare bandwidth, and you get slower.

That one is really interesting, as the US South actually does have a caffeine producing plant native to the area: Ilex vomitoria

It also goes by Yaupon, or Black Drink, and is similar to Yerba Mate.

The native americans in the area typically used it in rituals to the point of vomiting, hence the name. Due to this history, though, it was not used as a caffeine substitute during the war.

> The diet of the earliest hominins was probably somewhat similar to the diet of modern chimpanzees: omnivorous, including large quantities of fruit, leaves, flowers, bark, insects and meat (e.g., Andrews & Martin 1991; Milton 1999; Watts 2008). Tooth morphology and dental microwear studies suggest that the diet of some hominins may have included hard food items such as seeds and nuts, and underground storage organs (USOs) such as roots and tubers (Jolly 1970; Peters & O'Brien 1981; Teaford & Ungar 2000; Luca et al. 2010). By at least 2.6 million years ago, a remarkable expansion in this diet started to occur; some hominins began incorporating meat and marrow from small to very large animals into their diet.
For the markets to be efficient today they must calculate P=NP to achieve the solution. Nobody has done that yet. Markets today are inefficient as nobody has implemented P=NP to do the required calculation. Markets in the future could be efficient, but today's ones are not as we have to gauge market value the traditional way with incomplete information and guesstimation and modelling.

But the scientific consensus so far is heavily biased towards the presumption that P!=NP.

Your post seems more like you are hoping that Iowa is going to suffer some terrible epidemic of cases, rather than talking about the data. You are speaking from the point of view of your parents, who are likely scared. For vulnerable people, they still really shouldn't be going out, and they have every right to be worried. But at some point, we have to say that the majority of the population that is very likely not going to be as negatively affected can be allowed to live their lives.

Looking at the number of cases in Iowa, they are slowly ticking up, but cases are a terrible way to determine if covid is getting to be a problem. You need to look at percentage testing positive, hospitalizations and deaths. And if Iowa is anything like California, Florida, and Texas, there will be a spike in cases among younger people, and a slow increase in hospitalizations. But it won't be as bad as everyone pretends it is, and in many cases, it won't help to start locking things down again or for the first time, you'll simply push the curve out. Nearly the same number of people will get sick, just over a longer time frame. In fact, that was the whole point of flattening the curve, it wasn't to stop covid, it was to push the cases out so that our healthcare system is not overwhelmed. The area under the curve would likely be similar to a non-flattened curve.

I don't see any evidence that Iowa will be overwhelmed, but perhaps you have better data that you can point to that shows everything going wrong.
