Did any of your anecdotal cases have terminal cancer? And did they take the drugs in a professional therapeutic context?

In a medical context, we can evaluate this as objectively as we evaluate painkillers or antidepressants. We can use our normal tests for anxiety and depression, run studies where we watch outcomes, etc. From what I've seen, the effects have been very positive for these patients.
How did Apple captured the web?
You’re right. Different cars are designed for different places. You want a small efficient car in the city, and a comfy cruising car on the highway.

I’ve driven both types on their home turf and in the wrong environment and it makes a huge difference.

The only truly bad type of car is an SUV. Bad everywhere.
An used luxury car is cheap to buy because it can be expensive or time consuming to maintain.
Households that used to have a minivan or pickup and two commuter cars now have a crossover or SUV and a sedan. As the prices of vehicles go up consumers are forced to pick more generalist vehicles because having a 10yo pickup that you drive once a week isn't a financially justifiable option anymore.
Any junction where there's a lane on your outside, a person in a "normal" sized car is unable to see through into the junction.

For some reason, all of the traffic lights installed in my city now don't have a set of lights at the far side of the junction visible, so there is a fairly large window where you can be stuck with no visibility of the traffic lights in 2 lanes of traffic if you might have a filter light.

There's also rear view mirrors (big vehicle takes up more of my window, so I can't see if there's a bike coming)
I would argue that is more than sometimes. Ever get hangry? Or depressed 3 hours after you finish your coffee? Or irritable when someone wakes you up at 4am?

Those thoughts you have (“WHO THE HECK calls at 4am?”) is driven by a physiological need (sleep) not logic, as it might be during the day.

Stirling high school pupils discover new penguin colony in the Antarctic
That style is ideal for advertising copy, but for little else. The author of the original article could have avoided a lot of criticism if he’d called it “Writing Marketing Copy Well” instead of “Writing Well”.
I have the opposite feeling of not having control over my thoughts, they seem to bubble up into my consciousness as if by magic. My best ideas and most deeply felt epiphanies have always felt like gifts to me rather than as personal accomplishments.
>> I think in 50 years we will find out that various state security services have been interfering with IC fabrication tech.

That would not surprise me at all. I was hired on contract once to help a system (not ICs) that was having issues and my work was directly obstructed (a coworker said sabotaged) by the guy (foreign) who designed one subsystem. At the time I though maybe it was his ego not liking that his boss brought me in to help and I was succeeding. When it became clear from multiple incidents that he was subtly sabotaging me I started to wonder this very thing. I showed evidence to our boss who said "my hands are tied" because of the corporate structure at the time. My work did make it into production and I moved on for other reasons.
That would be better.

I guess my fear is that when you open this door to filtering/censorship, at one point a true unfiltered web search may no longer exist.
SEC Charges E-Commerce Startup and CEO with Defrauding Investors
> The main players here are heroin (DEA sched 1), meth (2), cocaine (2), GHB/Xyrem (3), some benzos (4), tobacco (legal), and analogs therein. It's hard to have a casual habit with these drugs, as they manipulate the brain's behavioral calculus itself.

Would caffeine and sugar also fall in this list?
I think Apple clearly understood they can't keep iPhone and iPad running the same OS because that holds what iPads can achieve. And that was one of the reasons they had to separate those two platforms.

I feel Apple would like to see iPads as lot closer to Macs in capabilities than iPhones.
It was surely not a given that any already compiled non-trivial code must run as is on Apple's M1. Here the whole Linux kernel and the CLI parts of the distribution are apparently running virtual just using a small number of the API calls.

It's, for my understanding, more than amazing, knowing what's already known about M1 and Apple's newest OS and surely newsworthy.
A single tank of gas: isn't that then mostly a matter of the size of the tank? My friend with his Jeep can go very far, no issues, but filling the tank costs an arm, a leg and a kidney. Gas consumption is horrible, it just has a huge tank.

That said hybrid systems are basically KERS: they matter when slowing down (charging the battery instead of warming up brakes), and at very low to low speeds (better efficiency of the electric engine compared to a gasoline engine). I would not expect a trip on the highway without traffic to be better at all with a hybrid car than with a gasoline car.

".rc" is derived from RUNCOM. Bell Labs engineers were part of the Multics design team in the 60s and used CTSS. Bob Sobecki (BTL), Glenda Schroeder (MIT), and Karolyn Martin (MIT) wrote early design documents for the Multics shell, in about 1966.

The Multics team suggested many features and changes to the Multics command language as the system design evolved. Prototype Multics had slow performance, and the shell implementation was reworked and simplified several times. For a while we implemented a program called the "mini shell" that lacked the fancy features but was much faster: it passed complex commands to the "full shell" if necessary. Eventually, PL/I improved and we learned to avoid slow constructs, and had one shell program.

The Multics design document for the shell is https://multicians.org/mspm-bx-1-00.html (5/29/68).
The Multics Glossary entry for the command language is https://multicians.org/mgc.html#commandlanguage .
Source for a 1988 version of the command processor is at MIT:

Nobody needs to have sex more than a few times in their lives. You wanna limit the sex lives as well?

Basically, your morality is all wrong. The point of life (for humans, at least) isn't to do what we need - that's only the lowest, most basic level of Maslow's pyramid. It's self-actualization, which essentially means fulfilling autonomously chosen goals. You might see no reason to drive 200km/h, but others might - why limit them? The only potential reason is safety, but hey, people enjoy plenty of extreme(-ly dangerous) sports, so clearly there are reasons to trade off safety as well.

In addition, an appeal to safety doesn't actually make sense in this instance - why would 120km/h be better than 200km/h? I mean, it's slightly safer but still incredibly unsafe! If we prioritized safety over all else, we'd all be driving at most 30km/h! So clearly "safety" isn't a good, objective reason - at best, it's a subjective, arbitrary threshold, but then we ought to recognize that diifferent people will make different tradeoffs regarding safety.
Php was my first language I learned 15 years ago. On that way I really started to hate it because of all it's quirks. Many of those have been fixed and nowadays I really enjoy it again and it's my goto language for any web project.

It really hits a pragmatic sweetspot. It's really easy to deploy and frameworks like symfony give you all the power like rails but without the magic.
I imagine that you're younger (20's to 30's) and relatively healthy. If so, humor me for a moment. Imagine that you're wearing a pair of ski boots with thumbtacks packed in around the ankles. You shift your weight too far forward or bend it, the thumb tacks cut into your ankle. Not to mention now they're super stiff; you can barely bend them at all without the tacks digging hard into the skin.

Now imagine getting into a Honda Accord sedan. You have to bend down to get into the car, so your back is going to lean over and your knees are going to bend down...naturally causing your ankles to have to bend forward. Except ski boots and thumbtacks; Ow!! To get in you have to more or less turn your back to the car, splay your legs out and kinda fall back with your arms holding the sides of the frame of the car. Not a big deal but now imagine doing this times a day, every day, for the next 5 to 8 years. And I haven't even talked about trying to get out.

In an SUV at the right height, you turn your back, brace your butt atop the seat, lift your legs up and pivot into the car. No fuss. Barely any bending needed.

There's plenty of older people out there with chronic issues in their backs, spines, hips, knees, and/or ankles. Thing is, older people that are later in their careers tend to be the ones with the most purchasing power, and don't mind trading a slightly higher operating cost for more comfort.

PHP 8.0 JIT benchmarks reveals mixed results
Well, the first place may have predated you and a rewrite is out of the question.

A few other reasons:

The rest of the platform for review and analysis doesn’t have such stringent performance requirements and it would be nice to reuse code.

There also may be some good libraries that are jvm only that your program relies on.

Packing up a fat jar can be a lot easier, less complex and more reliable than building a binary.

Your dev team has a lot Java expertise.

Getting Java to not allocate is not as hard as it seems if you set out to do it from the start. And even if not it’s not impossible because the tooling is so good. You just have to know the right tricks and it can be easier to incrementally learn those tricks for a dev team than learn C++ and it’s ecosystem.
The Unusual Signs of a Billion Dollar Company
I don't remember much to be honest. I now usually browse via a VR multireddit so I see all the posts from multiple forums aggregated into one. Much easier to steer clear of subreddit dramas that way.
When first visiting bloggingfordevs site, it looks, to me, like an infomercial. I'm not immediately convinced I need to give you my email address in order to gain some personal value. That's not to say it wouldn't possibly be a great experience if I did so - it's just that, from my initial impressions, it doesn't seem particularly unique and valuable. But hey, if it's working and growing, congrats!
Btw, expect huge taxes to hit electric cars in Europe. The European governments have a significant part of their budget coming from gas tax and they are not happy with that revenue stream going away. For those not from Europe: It is pretty common for us to have to pay $4-5 tax per gallon of fuel.
Taking 9 months to diversify manufacturing of a $2T business is probably worth it.

I don't buy time being the problem. Once manufacturing is in the US, then what? It probably costs 10x+ what it would cost in China or India. That's the bigger problem.
Effectively they are giving drugs that alter ones perception of reality

Like over the self painkillers do? Personally I don't see the philosophical difference in alleviating physical pain from alleviating psychological pain.

Of course, if the psychological pain is caused by a condition that can be fixed the fixing the condition itself is of course better. But in many cases of depression and anxiety there is no clear root cause that could be fixed.

Anecdotally speaking, there's a lot of people in this world that think drugs make their lives better when an objective observer would pretty strongly disagree.

Substance abuse and addiction are a problem, sure.

But that is entirely a different thing from providing substances that reduce anxiety and depression.
You end up promoting a page where the competitor is 1 click away. You are investing in facebook first, your own business second. That people click follow doesn't mean you just get to send out messages. That you have a lot of likes doesn't mean people clicked the like button. Then there is the privacy of your audience. They might not care about it, you should set higher standards.
I bike everywhere, but have been considering buying a car for some trips where it's impractical: Visiting family far away, go to the mountains to ski etc. I could always rent, but I have ended up only doing it sporadically. Spending ~$50 on a city car to have it for a day out of the city has made the barrier so high.

But having calculated cost of owning a car (parking, insurance, repairs, deprecation, gas etc) I have realized I could do that every weekend all year, and still probably come out ahead. Even if comparing to buying a used car. So here's to hoping I will be better at doing it this winter.
> 0 == 'foobar' // true

That's PHP7 behaviour that's updated in 8 to return false. I'm not a PHP basher, I really like it these days, but why the heck was that example ever evaluating to true?
>but he SUV popularity remains baffling to me especially in this age.

Kids, stuff.
Perhaps the reason is as simple as, "this is what I own, and I'd like to use it."
I'm a very safe driver. When I go through the woods at night, I drive 40 or even 30kph. I've been part of a wild boar crash (southern german wild boars can get hefty), so I want to avoid future incidents.

It's not unrealistic to expect locals to drive safely. Either drive safely or hand in your drivers license, what's even the point of having one then?

> ... is not something that requires a massive engine like Node. It just isn't.

How is asking for a Node install for a Javascript developer a problem?

My non-programmer wife recently started doing some Youtube tutorials to learn Javascript as her first coding experience and almost every single one has step 1 as "Install Node". Installing Nodejs is literally Javascript 101.

Also "Massive"? The Nodejs installer for Windows is 27MB (and requires like 4 clicks to install). On Linux, its available via the native installers and is a 1-click install.
"There's a long report on Wordpress and PHP 8 and it's not pretty"

I wonder if that's somewhat on purpose. Part of the remaining stigma with PHP is that people cite bad PHP examples from WP.
I admire your optimism. I wouldn't expect that putting macOS on an iPad would mean “the end of the iPad-as-appliance” but rather the end of macOS being a general computing platform, given Apple's obsession with locking everything down. I doubt I can take much more iOS-ification of macOS already as it is.
GitHub is moving in this direction (they now show interpackage dependencies at the package level, and intra dependencies at the symbol level.

However, neither works great—maybe 30%-80% coverage?, and far from "in a way that gets near complete coverage" that the parent stated about the benefit of Google's monorepo.

It may be a case where you need 90 or 99 or even higher coverage before it becomes a game changer. But I think GitHub is headed there quickly.
It's funny how the way to get a Linux on ARM machine with decent performance might be getting a Mac Mini and running Linux as a VM. I doubt nested virtualization will work though.
The story sounds quite impressive. Also the post itself, its writing and visual style, are surprisingly well executed. OP must be working 24/7.

So, I don't want to be that guy but every time I had disclosed my secret sauce in the past, e.g. how my recent venture sky-rocketed, I disclosed it when the growth was over, never, really never, before. Why should I hand out my treasure map which was months of work to everyone?

However, the author wrote that she wants to reach 20K and this will be still a challenge and so she seems quite credible but still, reading this post took some time and I am not sure if it was well invested. I feels like the typical r/entrepreneur post how-I-made-x-in-y-weeks but, again, much better executed.
> It intends to fool the neurotic, which, it usually succeeds in doing.

Disagree - neurotic people who believe in equality are not so easily fooled. It's meant to sway MLKs "white moderate" before they read a mean article in the NYT.
For a lot of us here, I think so. The downfall is that this approach assumes the reader already understands systems and how they often play together, which our community takes for granted as a skill.

I do personally like it, though. Explaining how, for instance, your food intake has tolerances which can be exceeded in either direction temporarily but will eventually catch up to you is exceedingly useful.

I'm always surprised how many adults think they can "just push themselves" to get more out of their life, whereas studies are pretty clear you only get a few weeks before regressing not only to the mean, but below it.
I suspect the author meant to mention "cider", not critique, for writing code.
> There's a long report on Wordpress and PHP 8 and it's not pretty

This is an awkward side-effect of WordPress core team largely neglecting PHP code quality issues for the last decade or so. With good reason – improving such a large codebase is a massive, mostly-thankless task.

You get it, but you don't see the relevance.

Alice uses a smartphone and a laptop with WhatsApp. Bob only uses a smartphone with WhatsApp. Alice and Bob discuss something secret. Alice assumes only Bob's (secure) smartphone can read the data. Bob assumes only Alice's (secure) smartphone can read the data. They both got physical access to the smartphone, which lowers the attack surface at that moment. Alice's laptop is in her house. As is Mallory.

My problem with above isn't that this works; it is how it works. My problem is that Alice never temporary authorizes WhatsApp Web. My problem is that Bob doesn't know about Alice's 2nd device. These 2 issues are issues which can be addressed and raise the privacy of the data considerably. The gut reaction "oh, its E2EE, so its secure." is dangerous, and untrue.

Yes, I'm aware you can make screenshots and print chats. You can also send temporary messages with Signal though. That's on top of E2EE, because E2EE isn't a panacea.
PeerTube Admin: How to subscribe to a channel from a different instance?
A proper diesel estate car like an MB E220d has a more usable cargo area than the typical SUV, rides comfortably and efficiently on the highway consuming less than 5 liters per 100 kilometers (fuel tank range is over 1200 kilometers), and has state-of-the-art safety technologies. In comparison, a SUV just gives you that extra confidence that no matter the weather conditions, you'll make it to your end destination because of the increased ride height, bigger tyres and 4WD systems. For most people that may be 2 or 3 days during the year, and the rest of the time they are paying dearly for this inefficiency.
I think this is a good framework to think about this. Thanks for sharing!
Naive but genuine question: What are the major advantages of switching to an ARM processor? From Apple’s keynote, I gathered that there’s the benefit of instant-on, and allowing iPhone/iPad apps to just work in MacOS, but are there some other fundamental advantages to be had with ARM for Mac? What difference does it make for both power users and real consumers at the end of the day?

If you intend to really buy this domain place an offer now, it will cost much more later. A lot of domain owners work with bonus pay, which means if you raise money then you pay them additional amount. This is one way to negotiate.

But as such name needs to be easy to remember, so it can enable word of mouth. Choose a name that is tied to an object or thing that your target users do every day. Its one way to keep your brand on top of the mind of users. Thats how memory works.

Just a guess, but casting a string that's not a number to int would give you zero?
True, but the safety/stability is (IMO) a great selling point. Not for the people here, but for the non-technical crowd it's definitely a plus.
That last sentiment is quite interesting.

The idea that our current recommendation AI is somewhat useful, only because of the simplicity of our dumb choices on the web.

Which may also explain why it never works well for books or movies.
I think we used rEFIt.. I remember it would be a bit finicky, but I never really had to boot windows since my product had no equivalent, and these days I don't boot OsX, though firmware updates would be nice.

Is that not that a generally true sentiment for dieting? Sugar, carbs, saturated fats, and excessive calorie consumption all taste and feel better than the alternatives, but are the cause of problems in 99% of people’s diets.
Yes, the last 10 percent increase in clock speed causes a 30 percent increase in power, or something like that. If you care about total performance instead of single thread it's probably better to add more cores.
If anything, I think the example of medical equipment sounds more like a good idea with poor execution.
'foobar' is coerced into a number, which fails for the obvious reason. So it becomes 0, which means the expression is "0 == 0".

Terrible, terrible, behaviour but there are lots of similar examples in PHP because it evolved over time rather than being designed as-is. Some of these things are being fixed over time, like this very example, others can't/won't be.
You can find a lot of that functionality in Sharepoint today. Sharepoint still aims to have non-programmers build useful web pages. Where I work most folks prefer something like Confluence. Of course non of that is aimed at home users making personal web sites.
The fact that people don't see this as troubling, is sad in itself.

It's like asking people who want to learn Python: step 1, install Django. Or for Java: step 1, install Spring.

A simple browser extension doesn't need Node. It just doesn't. The browser itself already packs everything the extension needs.

And I could go on - why would a JS runtime/framework need Visual Studio, at all?
The book has a list of users starting on page 118, so evidently the code had some success. Whether everything in the book is used is another matter entirely, but the extra coverage doesn't hurt.
Good point. on the other hand I don't know how a front impact on the roof line compares to the loads in a roll (but I guess a roll at speed also has a strong horizontal force on the roof). What I remember from studies I saw in the past is that features like sunroofs make some difference. But the "we as lay people don't necessarily know", and intuition going wrong on other scenarios, was why I asked if there is a good source on that.
They should try a 2CV for a short while, then their small car would be just fine... (Fun car but the lack of power can get you in dangerous situations, like when people don't expect you slowing down severely going uphill. Noisy too.)
