I did quite a bit of DMT (smoked) as a teenager and absolutely loved it every time. Friends of mine also got some of their own at the time, and was REALLY interesting how similar everyone's experiences were.

At first I thought maybe the whole "friendly elves" (for lack of a better phrase) thing might just be because my friends and I had read the same things about the experience and as such were predispositioned to that experience. However, a few friends that had literally never heard of DMT tried it and had virtually the same experience. Everyone I know personally that's tried it has the same "friendly fractal elves trying to show you something" or "fractal basketball" (that's what we called it) story.

It's a delight and I'd at some point in the future like to try ayahuasca, but I'm very leery about MAOIs. I think a lot of people may not be aware of the very real risks associated with them. DMT itself may be relatively safe, but harmala alkaloids can be incredibly dangerous depending on the person. There was a Netflix show (I think called Wellness maybe?) that touched on the possible dangers of ayahuasca but didn't go so far as to describe the possible problems of inhibiting an enzyme (monoamine oxidase) that performs vital functions in your brain and body.

I'm really glad that more and more researchers are spending more time and resources on psychedelics in general and look forward to advances that may be made in this area.
>So, when do you plan to "cut the price by a thousand dollars"?

Feels like a rude rhetorical question, but the answer is presumably at some point where their volume gets anywhere near HTC or Oculus, if that ever occurs.

Also a customer since a few years. Working with domains is a breeze. I also think the calendar and contact list are perfect features to place behind encryption.

This recent downtime issue is basically the only reliability problem I can even recall having experienced with Tutanota, so they seem to be getting more and more attention.

Seldom need search, but it is very basic and slow. I tend to work around that by using folders for e.g. senders, topics. Most (all?) collab functions are available within a single account between subusers (like an organization). Collaboration between independent Tutanota customers would be a nice addition.

Just playing with the thought of improving or implementing these _few_ features I've mentioned quickly turns into a pit of snakes. A cryptographic and engineering challenge.

So instead, I trust Tutanota to work on what's important, thoughtfully paced. Not too fast like my chaotic mind.

That's why I'm their customer.
You mean to a properly managed country. Aren’t most fires on federal land?
> I don’t know of any atheists in my church, or any atheist friends that go to church

Maybe they don't tell you. For instance, my grandmother didn't believe in god but was culturally attached to the catholic church and traditions. It's quite common (at least in western Europe where I live)
>Why don't landlords own all of Detroit,

The same reason the used car lots don't own all the rust free classics in California, an exceptionally asinine regulatory environment that would put them on the hook for an obscene amount of back taxes.
When the specs are the same or better on a phone that is $400 less you can actually afford to buy a new Google every 3 years and still save money.

"Not breaking speed limit" and "driving by the rules" are different things. If you are passing on a two lane road without breaking speed limit then you are actually breaking the rules by creating a dangerous situation. This is why propositions to set governor to the maximum speed limit won't fly. However, people do want features like ESC, which can effectively limit your speed much lower than the posted speed limit if the road conditions do not allow higher speed. Same with collision avoidance system that do not allow to drive into obstacles and pedestrians, I don't think anybody opposes them. So I think more complex safety behaviors would have their market just as long as they actually improve safety and are not dangerous knee-jerk solutions in search of a problem.

So, wearing a mask takes away your freedom, but wearing pants and underwear does not remove your freedom?

How about all the other laws? Wearing seat belt? Why can't we drink/use drugs and drive?

If anything masks should be welcome by conspiracy theorists, as those hide your face from cameras and AI in public.
You're either coming up with a huge strawman, or you're confused about what the post means.

Pointers being integers does not mean that writing garbage to any random integer you come up with has well-defined semantics. In any case, your example could be made much better by pointing out that any program could simply overwrite the stack return value; that has to be UB.

> To permit this basic optimization, you need to have to some sort of rule that allows you to reason that a value whose address is never taken can never be legally accessed by a pointer

This is true

>To actually effect this rule in semantics, you now have to start tracking extra metadata about what pointers can and cannot access

If you aren't writing to random values, you don't really need to track anything. foo(bar *) doesn't need to track anything, it's presumably part of the implicit contract that you allow foo to write to the passed in object.

What's inappropriate about the behavior here, I wonder? The interviewer got exactly what they asked for, and an awful lot more signal than they probably were expecting.
The Quest comes with a WebXR capable browser. There are a few sites with adult 360 video out there you can visit. Someone could potentially make an interactive experience. WebXR is very capable. We built https://moonrider.xyz/ if you want to see what's possible (no sex though :))
Sure, but you can't know what that number is. It's almost certainly not 1234, and since it's an auto allocated var with local scope, it's probably on the stack unless it's been optimized elsewhere, so it's dynamic, and exists only for the lifetime of each run of a(). You might figure out some evil way to get it for some implementation, but I don't think the C spec gives you a reliable way. That's what I mean by 'legitimate'.

Even if you modified the code of a() to pass out the address of x to a caller, they can't safely use that pointer and the actual behavior is undefined. x does not exist outside of a call to a().
Not quite, but they are finally making the Phone notification a standard notification, and not a giant screaming blocking full-screen YOU WILL PAY ATTENTION NOW modal view.

I always hated that. I hate phone calls, period, and I certainly don’t want that phone call to take over my entire phone.
It should be taught. Lack of humility almost cost us a project. In that instance, humility unscrewed the project and unblocked 400k by simply sliding a sheet of paper and a pen to the client across a table, and asking them to draw the dataflow they thought we were going to build. A couple of boxes and arrows made it clear what the problem was. We drew the actual dataflow. The security person said "Oh, I thought... OK.. if it's like that then we're good to go". Legal said they're OK with that. Data people said OK. A dozen people were relieved.

The previous person on the project, although brilliant technically, thought they were "idiots who didn't understand crypto", as if it were the end goal. All it took was to keep quiet for a second and listen to what they had to say, and let them talk about what was problematic, instead of snark.
We had a big storm here in Iowa last month that was very similar. I looked outside at 11am and it looked exactly like midnight.

That was a "This can't be good" sort of feeling.
Switching to that sort of page is probably the most cost-effective solution for small businesses. I've heard of larger companies running a completely redundant hot standby on another independent cloud platform and switching DNS over to the standby when something goes wrong. With auto-scaling, you're not paying to have the standby running at full throttle. Of course, you have to exclusively use services that have equivalents on the other cloud provider.
Presumably the problems you are solving are different from the problems that are being solved with this thing. I have never worked at a place where I'd be fired for downtime (even customer-visible downtime) of two minutes. I don't think I ever will.
This is a pedantic response. There isn't an important difference between building a physical system and building a system in code whose generating process is that which you're trying to model. And everyone knew he didn't mean every outcome literally.
> it is illegal for any compiler to transform the first into the second.

Don't know about the language spec, but compilers do this transform all the time.

It is, in fact, quite infuriating if you are trying to use a debugger on the code to do a breakpoint on data change (memory change) and you can't because the value is solely held in a register.

It also doesn't help that the author is writing from a C++ perspective and not a C perspective.
Serving a 301 redirect from an outdated page to a new one the way they are doing with the iOS 13 page is the exact way you're supposed to do it, and is part of Google's guidelines. It's not an SEO trick, it's how you get rid of old pages without creating a poor user experience.
Your logic doesn't follow. I'm white. I don't live in Palo Alto. I wouldn't be allowed in.
I've come to the realization that the real relationship of Python and Numpy is not a language/library relationship, but a script/engine relationship, similar to writing scripts in a game or map editor.

Numpy is not just a helping hand to python; instead, it is this efficient, giant, comprehensive engine, and python is merely the interface used to feed it data, operate it, and read from it.

Of course, under the hood, it's still just language and library. But the mental model is quite different.
The choice of what issues to run on is in itself targetting regardless of where it is run. I am not sure what good that would even do given it is already well known that political stances at rallies vary by venue.
You don't generally say you're an atheist when talking to your church group, with a few notable exceptions.

For one thing hashing means Signal doesn't care that my telephone number is sixteen digits while yours probably isn't. All the hashes are the same size.

In 1975 other users would have cared because that's sixteen digits to painstakingly memorise or copy down somewhere, but that problem went away. Very few people today even notice because who needs telephone numbers?

And it's not true that any finite domain is tractable. The IPv6 address space is large enough, and thus sparse enough that it's basically pointless to try to connect to random addresses. If you pick random 32-bit IP addresses and connect to TCP port 22 a lot of them will answer. Some of them might have a bug you know to exploit. Maybe you can get one thousand answers per hour and one in every ten thousand is vulnerable to your attack, you are now successful twice every day. Whereas if you try this with IPv6 you'll die of old age before you connect successfully let alone find a vulnerable server.
It does look like it uses Cocoa. What are you seeing that doesn't look like Cocoa? Custom controls doesn't count; those can still be based on NSView and use other Cocoa controls in their implementation.
I haven't found a diff tool for macOS that is as good as WinMerge from fifteen years ago.

Kaleidoscope is fairly close but you still can't merge individual lines from a block of changes, and you can't make up for it with manual free-form editing of the text. Sometimes I want to perform the merge by copying and pasting segments myself. Sometimes I want to fix up indentation after merging.
Is this a troll? I mean, why make a custom keyboard with even one pause/break key, let alone... Three?

There is LSP support in Nova. I hope to see more plugins make use of it to bring more languages in the next few weeks.
I know a guy, makes minimum wage, poor as shit. Known him a long time, but for how poor he his, he is rich in games. He doesn’t even pay for IAP on his phone, somehow he gets that free. It’s always hilarious when he messages me: “hey, have you played X yet?” And my response is, “no.” He sends me the torrent. I just pay for the games, because I can afford it and I know if he says it’s good, I’ll probably enjoy it.

I imagine there are other people like me, where the pirating actually drives sales. But yeah, to the people who don’t make tons of money, it’s often the only way they’ll ever play the game.
Lol, I wish I had that problem. Where I live, it's finding like-minded geeks that requires actual effort. IT people are largely social pariahs, unless they are on the business side of things. And it's really been the case for most of my life, over two different countries.

It's just that the Bay Area is an economic district, that's all. There are districts in Europe where everyone is somehow involved in making pipes and faucets, others where everyone works in the clothing industry, even some where everyone is into the business of fantasy miniatures....

SF "makes bits", so chances are that if you throw a stone there you'll hit 3 developers, 2 "product guys", and 4 devops (insert a basement-dweller-sysadmin-joke here). I actually found it pretty exciting the few times I was over there - a land where nerds don't have to be ashamed of "being in IT"! Talking coding and gadgets over dinner is socially accepted! How refreshing!

Obviously there is a degree of class selection in place, but it was always such. Did your parents know a lot of homeless people or fruit-pickers? I wouldn't think so.
I've just tried out the spatial audio on my iPad with AirPods Pro, with one of the (many) free first episodes on Apple TV+...

...and it's stunning. Seriously. It's actually three separate features in one. First, all the audio is outside of you rather than stuck between your ears. Second, it's surround sound so that dialog actually comes from your iPad, while music comes from all around. And third, it tracks, so if you look left the dialog all comes from your right AirPod -- and it's positively disconcerting it's so real. I thought for a second all the sound was actually coming out of my iPad and, oh crap, I have to turn it down not to bother the neighbors! Before realizing... oh my god it's actually that realistic.

So not only does it blow me away technologically, but also that I got it as a free upgrade almost a year after buying the headphones! People love to criticize Apple, but man do they do some wonderful things for their customers.

Now I'm just so disappointed the feature is iOS-only, and not for Macs. I watch all my TV on a projector hooked up to my Mac, and man... if I had spatial audio while viewing that... I can't even imagine. It would beat any movie theater I've ever been to. (And sadly, iPad HDMI output is low-quality, as it heavily compresses the output.)

My understanding is they don't support Macs because they don't have accelerometers/gyroscopes so the AirPods wouldn't know what they were relative to spatially. But man, I'd be happy just for a button I could click that says "my head is looking directly at the screen now". Wouldn't that be enough? But there's no mention of it being in Big Sur, so oh well...
VMWare email blast: Pivotal Web Services End of Availability
One answer is to stack 3 LEDs on the die, each tuned to the center wavelength of human photo-receptors. Existing RGB LEDs emulating "white" suffer from shadowing effects where shadows have a color based on the parallax between the red, green, and blue elements in the light bulb. This is no longer an issue if you co-locate the emitters.
Just so I understand, what is the difference between this and what China does?
Thanks for working on Kate! That's my go-to editor.
(shrug) don't see how this is useful honestly. You'd just accidentally mistype all the time by laying your hand down to rest.
Rates and effective rates are too different things.

Some states have zero income tax but the effective tax rate is often similiar because pretty much every interaction with government is self-funded with fees so the effective tax rate is much higher than the on paper tax rate. Conversely you can have a tax rate and then let people deduct everything under the sun getting a lower effective rate. Kind of like how if you income is below the EIC amount (which is definitively not ideal) in the US federal income tax exists on paper (I forget what the rate is) but the effective rate is zero, possibly negative even)

Are you insulted by any business that has video cameras? Metal detectors? Security personnel?

Are there any measures of protecting one's business from theft that you find acceptable?

To be honest I'm not a huge fan of DRM either but I don't believe it's automatically insulting for people to want to protect themselves from very real threats, even if there are some negative effects for the good samaritans. That's just the nature of the world we live in.
It's all well and good to strive to take advantage of a native OS but it should not come at the cost of platform exclusivity.
>I think most people would be happy to go without the next generation of iPhone if it means solving climate change

Don't you also have to go vegan, stop flying, switch to an EV car, stop using disposable plastic, switch to green electricity, avoid businesses that aren't carbon neutral, consider the environment before you print that email, and so on ... ?

The scale of change required is seriously overwhelming and I fear without a solution to that, we aren't going to fix this problem anytime soon :(

Yeah that would never happen in the US. I mean it might but there would be bodies everywhere.
Since they wrote their own text rendering engine, maybe it does compete with Sublime?

That solves my property too expensive problem how?

More seriously...not super keen on living in the US to be honest. Could probably do it practically, but given my life circumstances it would be a net loss.
Very few, and I don't think it's a reasonable parallel.

I don't think 8 hours of cognitively demanding, yet physically sedentary work, is part of our human nature.

If you frame it in the sense that we are just monkeys in shoes, it wouldn't be at all reasonable to expect someone to crouch in the grass and be highly alert for hours at a time.

The corollary would be a job that's physically engaging (read, not demanding) but cognitively basic, e.g. moving boxes in a warehouse, gardening.

The difference is one form of labor has leveraged output (writing code), vs linear output (moving boxes).
> With Kustomize, changing a single environment variable value in a Deployment is quite some work compared to Helm (I don’t like JSON patching)

Config maps, enough said. I have a CD pipeline that writes environment variables to files, Kustomize eats them up and creates a configmap, environment variables in the deployment reference the config map, done.

Kapp as a layer on top of Kustomize is showing some progress. Ultimately Kustomize is like every other resource bundled with k8s, it’s a building block for higher level tooling.
> I really love the new app drawer. My hundred barely-used apps are now neatly stowed there while I keep a single (Yes, one) Home Screen.

I hop between Android and iOS every few years and was quite excited for iOS to check this basic functionality box right as I came back. Shame they had to ruin it by forcing the absolutely nonsensical categories on you with no option for a plain alphabetical list.

Just give me the UI that shows up when you tap the app drawer search button, but as soon as I swipe to the drawer and without showing the keyboard. It's right there, the functionality I want is available, but as usual Apple screws it up for power users.

In fact: do regular users like searching their app drawer for a possibly relevant category and hoping it has what they want? It doesn't help that the available categories and their ordering change every few days and/or whenever you install a new app. And worse yet is that the same application can show up in 3-4 different categories crowding out the one app you're looking for that only exists in one.
The football comment struck me as wildly out of touch. In my entire life I’ve never heard of any organized adult football- its obviously way too dangerous and inconvenient to be anything but a pro or school sport.
One of my favorite new features in iOS 14 is an accessibility setting that allows a double tap or triple tap on the back of the phone to trigger an action. You can set this up in Settings->Accessibility->Touch->Back Tap .

In general, I love how accessibility features on iOS are so useful even for the average person who wouldn’t be considered or classified as disabled.
I'm sure none of this applies to any of us here, but I've heard rumors that some people need deadlines to complete tasks. As in you set a deadline, and it doesn't really matter when, and check up with the employee on a regular basis. The interim feedback is always that things are coming along, but there is an awful lot of office chit-chat, browsing Facebook when I walk by, etc.. And then one week before the deadline all of a sudden there is griping and moaning about crunch time, but now there is sudden focus, and things get done. I'm a new manager, so I wish I had a better way to work with this dynamic. Smaller milestones? How small before it becomes micromanaging? But to the main point, if you are routinely working 70 hours a week that is a toxic work environment and you should leave.
