Google is a monopoly on search. You could block it from indexing and it would drastically hurt you and your discoverability. Cutting your hand to spite you kind of thing. The same way you could in theory just not get telephone service or just not buy oil in historic US anti-trust actions. Media sites can't live of the little that trickles to them, and can't live without it either, with some exceptions ( like expensive paywalled editions like Financial Times). Thanking most news sources to piss off Murdoch and stop his crap from spreading might be worth it, for a few days but would be disastrous long term.
Do you drink alcohol? If so you're a drug user... We've just decided for myriad, commercial, political and historical reasons to legitimise some and make others illegal. Note I never used the word "scientific" in that sentence.
Although my side (the left) often says things like “reality has a left leaning bias”

You can get very good mechanical keyboards for around 50 €. These will of course be made completely in China with switches from one of the 3rd party manufacturers, but most of these are still pretty solid.
From what I can tell, Internet Recovery (which downloaded a recovery OS) is gone and replaced by 1TR which is stored on a hidden flash partition. 1TR is capable of downloading the OS and installing it, so in a way it can be considered the replacement for Internet Recovery.

While architecturally simpler (and probably more secure by allowing the network stack to be removed from the low-level boot infrastructure?), the disadvantage is that you can mess up the 1TR partition. If you do, the only way to recover the machine is to do a DFU restore from another Mac via Apple Configurator. That's not terribly convenient if you don't have another Mac around. (An Apple Store can DFU restore for you, but last I checked Apple Stores are appointment-only due to COVID and it's almost impossible to get an appointment there these days.)

From my reading, alcohol drinkers are absolutely included in his definition of a "drug user" and the exact same objection would apply - how can you do anything when you're drunk on alcohol?
A guy I knew in college told me not smoking for him was like not eating. Not physically in the stomach, but those same urges and feelings that you'd better do something about it soon because it's important. It becomes the main thing you're thinking about until it's resolved and anything or anyone that gets in the way annoys you.

Hunger never hurt me, but I used to give into it quickly because it distracted me a lot and I enjoyed cooking and eating. The first time I dieted intensively it took about 5 days but I mostly stopped feeling it. It was more of a notice "probably a good time to eat" than a strong urge anymore. It was easy to reframe in my mind as a positive - this is the feeling of fat evaporating! Getting to that point can be tough though.
This is interesting personal testimony. For anyone curious about a more scientific view of this issue I would recommend the book High Price by Dr. Carl Hart. While it is common for people to believe strongly that drugs are bad and addictive, actual scientific observation of drug users finds in many cases there is little evidence of harm and instead of forming an enduring habit they follow a progression which is more like a hobby.

There are plenty of comparisons that might be made, but driving seems an apt comparison. Driving is extremely dangerous, magnifies even small mistakes, and kills or maims very large numbers of people on a regular basis. And yet even with similar evidence of harm and habit formation people do not treat driving with the same fear but instead face driving with irrational positivity and optimism.

Scientists using rigorous observations and mathematical analysis do not see drug use and driving as having risk profiles that are completely different.
Look at the daily volumes, instead. Doge isn’t used as the primary on/off ramp for the entire crypto market, but Tether is.

Tether has basically become the crypto fed. Without tether, this whole thing falls apart.
I'm not entirely sure if I follow the narrative here, perhaps you can clarify what you mean. Occasionally I have a beer, either socially or to try out a new beer — does this make me an addict? I would argue no, this alone is not a good definition. I don't have a better definition myself, and surely this is a subject many people have put a lot of effort into figuring out, but I don't think this approach has merit.
You can't fix what is fundamentally broken.

In the same idea of "Any sufficiently complicated C program contains an ad hoc, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Common Lisp." let's paraphrase

Any sufficiently safe C program contains an ad-hoc (etc.) implementation of the infrastructure needed to make it safe:

- custom string implementation

- custom object/memory management

- custom memory slices and other data structures

Not forgetting the compiler tricks added to try and catch when the program does something stupid

When demand shifts back, those industries will have significantly reduced capacity, and a lot of bargaining power to raise prices. The raised prices cascade through the economy, and that's what triggers inflation.

Not sure I buy that. Yes, there will be temporary upwards pressure on prices in some segments of the economy but also, following your argument, temporary downwards pressure on prices in other segments. So a) it's going to balance out and b) it'll be temporary. Not enough to trigger sustained inflation, not nearly enough to trigger hyperinflation.

Are we going to see higher inflation in this decade vs. the last? Absolutely. But hyperinflation is a different beast altogether and I'm quite skeptical we have the environment for it to come alive.
I've never taken heroin, but I've heard that it is quite possible to work while high on it. Partly because the high isn't quite like other drugs that give you a high. Which is apparently one of the reasons why it's so easy to become addicted: at first you can feel pretty normal and competent while on it.
Former smoker. You also get increasingly annoyed at anyone and everyone until you get to check off that box. Nothing feels complete, none of life's little victories or big disasters, until you've had a smoke to commemorate it.

To me, it always felt like there was something like a little pebble be stuck in my brain and there was only one way to get it out. Not physically, but in terms of how it affected me mentally.

This guy's whole viewpoint seems to be pinned on "it's not addiction if it's not negatively affecting the rest of your life" (yes, I know this is a major criteria for a lot of medical diagnosis, addiction included).

The problem is that what it takes "negatively affect the rest of your life" depends a lot on what role you have in society.

Short of pornography producer, fantasy fiction author, songwriter and other professions where copious drug use fit one's "brand image" or potentially enhance one's work, a tenured college professor gets about about as much leeway from the rest of society as a white collar professional can get. He can be "eccentric" and nobody blinks twice. But for other professions the standards of behavior are different (and generally get more permissive as you go down the economic ladder).

Defining the difference between acceptable use and addiction, and by proxy who's problems are bad enough to be considered problems and therefore in need of solving in a way that is relative to one's place in society is very dangerous. If you're blind in one eye you're still blind in one eye even if it doesn't negatively affect you. Addiction (and a multitude of other conditions) are the same.
Please do, I'm English and fascinated by this period of history, especially with the Anglo-Saxons I guess due to my ancestry.

>Can it be a gear if it does not make a complete 360 degrees rotation?

Well, there are also oval gears, many types of non-circular gears, and so on. Not all cyclical/360 degree, e.g:

https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB11B0bhviSBuNkSnhJq6zDcpXaG/400...

A gear is about the teeth and the ability to synchronize according to a ratio. If you just need 180 degrees of motion (and e.g. will move it manually or automatically back to the starting point begin with), it's still a gear.

I used drugs recreationally until I had children. During this time I knew many colleagues that used drugs every week. Some used amphetamines and mdma at parties. Some used morphine substitutes day time during the weekends, and on a few occasions some were high during work hours (the last few hours on friday). They were very productive. Just because you use a hard drug does not mean that you have to take a large dose. I would argue that most people will be more productive with a low dose of amphetamines. On the other hand, I think no one codes better with alcohol. It all depends on the drug.

For several years I made a living playing poker, and I played a lot better with morphine in my system. It made me more patient and focused. I even tracked my results in different databases (with pokertracker) to compare my results while high. I made almost 10% more while high, and this is over hundreds of hours played.
This is... acceptable.
I have been holding the company ipad hostage since the day I joined. I need it for work and either you pay for the device or I keep this ipad till I leave.

They said that they will give me the ipad till I got a functioning Android/ios phone on my own cost. Why would I do that? Anything in company property needs to be signed off to them. There is only one app on there: Okta
I found this quote pretty strange:

> Despite the current false narrative, the addiction rate among people prescribed opioids for pain in the United States, for example, ranges from less than 1 percent to 8 percent.

What's the threshold where it's a problem? 1% of prescription drug users getting addicted sounds like a terrible situation to me. Let alone 8%. Especially if they're already in a situation where finding a way to escape is tempting.
Different strokes for different folks, though. I've been working on a mac for a decade, and I _cannot_ get used to the chicklet keyboards. I use an external keyboard and need to bring it with me when I travel in order to be productive.

It doesn't look like an advice but a simple, neutral observation of the pluses. Of course there are also minuses but this quote doesn't seem it rejects those.
I think that's a perfectly reasonable reason for you to have a gap in your career, and prospective employers should be understanding of that.

It is something you should be prepared to explain at an interview, but I don't think it would cause any problem.

You're right that it doesn't really count as experience. Employers won't necessarily mind a one year gap on your CV, but if you do find it difficult to get to the interview stage, it could help to add a short note to your CV explaining the gap. But I'd hope that wouldn't be necessary.
I think that’s a false dichotomy. Yes, public transport is much better than everyone driving a car. However, whenever I talk to a parent of 2, they say a car is a must even a city like Berlin (that has a vast public transportation network). There no one size fits all.
Nowhere does it call out Rust by name.

Hello!
Alexey, the author of Moiva.io, here

The Kraken is out and I'm happy to discuss and answer any questions/suggestions you have

In short, what the article is about.

I rewrote Moiva completely, I put GitHub in the center of the Moiva Universe and made NPM its satellite. The architecture is agile enough for adding more satellites like Maven (Java), PIP (Python), and others.

It means that Moiva essentially became a universal tool with the ability to evaluate and compare any Software library!

There are some similar statements: "mechanical keyboards aren't much better than normal keyboards", "mechanical key switches aren't much better than normal key switches", to which "some mechanical keyboards are much nicer than standard keyboards" aims at the former.

I feel to say about "mechanical keyboard vs standard keyboard", these niche ergonomic keyboards should be considered.

I only recently discovered these weird keyboards. So I figure that's as good an excuse as any to extol these benefits. (And complain about how weird a standard keyboard is!).

Capital required to come up with a keyboard design is a much more minor factor.

> The card reader networks take a 3% cut and we’re all ok with that.

EU busted that, so in EU it is illegal to take more than a 0.3% cut instead. Because after investigations that was roughly how much they need to be profitable. The 3% fee you see in USA is just 1000% markup.

Although I wouldn't be surprised if app store fees are found to be reasonable at about 3% level and EU enforcing that, just like they lowered credit card fees by a factor 10.
That, and the original A1000 mouse had an angular connector, which makes a lot of sense given the position of the corresponding port on the computer's side.

That's not what I meant, and that you're thinking this kinda proves my point. People holding onto Bitcoin hoping to get rich don't contribute to Bitcoin as a technology. They're making Bitcoin a speculative asset.

Bitcoin is supposed to be used as currency. The vast majority of Bitcoin owners don't do that.
Their accountants probably prefer this route though. They don't get a competitive advantage by have a proprietary license, so open source is a good choice, but the GPL has issues they want to avoid. By going this route they can use tax breaks that are not available for doing the work in house. Sure it is more complex, but the results matter, and the result they are hoping for is someone else does work that they don't pay for.

Eh, it isn't that radical. These people making minimum wage are likely working part-time, so they don't get medical insurance. They often have to find two or more part-time jobs. Do they are working more hours than a full time job, but still don't have medical.

An increase in the minimum wage will help a little, but having affordable health care works help more.
slightly OT, but in what situations can anabolic steroids be used recreationally?

Great thanks - perhaps obvious, but worth running the PNGs through something like pngcrush.

I'm thinking about it the other way also, that is could your approach be used to reduce the size of DEMs encoded as PNGs. While I can see brotli being more efficient, by not using a image compression algorithm you perhaps lose out on exploiting the 2D nature of the data, as if I understood correctly when you're compressing the data you treat the tile as a 1D blob of binary data.

Also "for rewriting popular systems in Rust" is just false. The blog is about improving memory safety and gives two pieces of software rewritten in Rust as an example.

There's nothing about this effort being focused on rewriting things in Rust.
If I was Belarus and I didn't want to look scary, I would have avoided building a Nuclear Power Plant near the capital of my neighbouring EU country.

A safest place could have been in the direction of Ignalina, the area has low density population both in Belarus, Lithuania and Latvia.

And because the Lithuanians did build a NPP in that position in precedence, they would have lost one of the main point they are complaining about: proximity to the capital

While slinging a cat has always been a disturbing analogy to me, in this case I think it’s appropriate; you can’t sling a cat without it hitting a popular rockstar that did heroin or similar at small or varying doses, was convinced they had it under control, and their careers slowly and then quickly tanked. I also have friends and acquaintances whose lives were ruined by it or they died early because of it.

I’m glad this made it front page news given that the northwest coast of US now gets hard drugs, so maybe one of them will think twice about being a full-on grade A dumbass.

Also remember: with legality especially in a rich entrepreneurial country comes business which lobbies, funds studies, etc. Pot strived for many years for legitimacy, and once they got it, it exploded all over the US.
I used to smoke weed every day. At the end of the day after work, I would vape until I was fairly intoxicated. Almost everything was better on weed--sex, food, television, etc. I would be out with friends and look forward to getting home and smoking weed. In essence, it made being bored fun. But I started to question who I really was when I smoked weed. I was in a different state mentally, a state that in many ways was disconnected to my sober state. Almost as if I were a different person.

I eventually completely quit because it seemed like a black hole in my day and in my life, where the sober me just lost valuable time and focus. It also dampened my motivation. Part of it may have been physiological, I would be less focused the next day. But part of it was also that compared to being on weed, life was just not as enjoyable when I was sober. I did not like that contrast.

The people "in charge" of C are just not interested in radical changes - they have not even bothered to add better strings. There was a recent post here describing how the C standard bodies even oppose adding warnings, because it would increase the size of building logs.

Where I work we have teams and guilds. Guilds operate every other Friday, they work on cross-team concepts (e.g. automation, ai/ml, security, open source). Some guilds work better than others. The downside is around ownership (e.g. A guild creates a useful tool that ends up being used throughout the org, who fixes the critical bugs that arise?)
