With methamphetamines, the toxic dose just happens to be quite small. Ever tried a mega dose of Aspirin? It can kill you.
If binance is fine with it then sure, but it's not like Binance is getting any extra sign-ups thanks to Brave from these suggestions, they're just giving up a percentage of their trading fees when it happens (the user would have signed up regardless of if you allowed them to use the optional referral code or not).
Having spent a few years following feminist discourse a while back, this doesn't work because the idea that patriarchy hurts men too is only permissible as a way of demanding that everyone treat existing, women-centric feminism as already solving men's problems without having to think about them or, indeed, really treat men as people. Actually, more than that: it's used to argue that anyone who really cared about the issues facing men would stop discussing or thinking about them and fall in line behind feminism and women's issues instead because that is the real movement addressing them, and therefore anyone who doesn't is just a misogynist in disguise. Or was a few years ago at any rate.

Also, what makes this interesting is that there is almost no such thing as a problem with existing gender roles that solely affects men. For example, the obstacles blocking men from parenting children within society are inextricably intertwined with the feminist, women-centric idea that parenting should not fall entirely on women, but it is basically impossible to address the former without outright rejecting feminism even though they are a direct obstacle to those feminists' goals. Usually it just ends up in blaming the men for failing to overcome obstacles that the people involved can't even realise exist and are probably quietly perpetuating in their own lives.
Home schooler here: our children have way more 'screen time' at home than the norm, I would guess. There's plenty of time left over for school work, board games, exercise, socialising, cooking, etc. No tantrums, no panic attacks.

I doubt that 'screen time' is a thing any more than 'page time' would have been a thing a century ago. I suspect it's an issue to do with mainstream schooling/parenting but I'm not sure what exactly. Maybe because computers aren't used much in schools? If you think about it many adults have 8 hours screen time per day, and what is education supposed to be if not preparation for life?
Same in iOS safari, your site works perfectly.
If you're working hard at a lot of places you're not getting noticed. If you spend more time talking to people (about work?) They think you're busy.

Sometimes the person who is fixing problems is seen as better than the one who is not - it's hard for people to tell which challenges are self inflicted.

Sometimes I think the way to get noticed is to spend money. Someone always has to approve your purchases so you get noticed. Sitting in your cube hammering out code, or design, or documentation isnt visible.

These things aren't optimal ways to measure effectiveness, but I think they all come into play.
Yes, what's your point?
I think it should be opt out because it’s better to have secure by default than fast by default in my opinion.
Who cares how it's doing financially? I'm not an investor. If the VCs who gave them money are never made whole, I do not care.

If their loss results in decades of free tumblr for me, all the better! I really doubt the site is gonna disappear tomorrow. And every indication so far is they aren't going to ruin it in the name of monetization.
Gradually, I've learned that the history of almost all technology is this:

1. Smart, well-meaning people see a problem, and try to craft a solution.

2. Bad actors completely ignore these good intentions and use the new invention for money and power, harming or exploiting the general population in the process.

This isn't to say progress is never made, but the lion's share of the benefits of any new tech always ends up going right back to the rich and powerful that didn't need it in the first place.

I wasn't a programmer in the 90's, but I did grow up then, and into the hacker culture of the 00s. Looking back, I feel comradeship for the radicals in the 60s. A revolution was in the air, things were going to change! And then it all petered away to nothing.

Smart, well-meaning people constantly dream of freeing everyone: from poverty, or political oppression, or ideological entanglement. One more advance, one more theory or piece of tech and then we'll have it! But the general populace will never be free, because they don't want to be. On an unconscious level, they desire their cage. Freedom is scary and uncomfortable. That's why smartphones replaced PCs, and why software and the web became a closed, user-hostile morass. Most people do not want the power to self-actualize. They just want to be kept comfortable until they die.
The Fortran standard is deliberately silent about the passing method. However, virtually all Fortran compilers pass by reference.
As if you knew what that word means or as if there was any risk of confusion in this context.
As much as the slideshow points out a genuine, interesting question, what's a little frustrating is that presentation author then spends a good deal of time advocating for his own preferred utopian rulesets, with similar issues of micromanagement in a fundamentally shallow meta, and with similarly narrow, politically pointed assumptions.

Don't get me wrong: it's perfectly understandable that people have preferences, and that questions of complexity and design introduce difficult trade-offs.

I doubt I'm alone in finding rut micromanagement the most unfun part of sim games. Having to impose all sorts of tiny decisions all the time on sim population, in such a constrained rule space, that there are always only the same few optimal strategies to progress. Issue is not that there are optima, but all of that static micromanagement could be handled bottom-up (in sims, automatically). Fun play could derive more from variations in system dynamics, discrete shocks to rules, and in general, macro or meta decisions.

But here am I replying to "this is not the exact game I would have designed" with "this is not the exact game I would have designed either, plus this is not an exact argument I would have made" – with me not even doing the actual work of gamemaking, unlike the author.
Can you share a source? I haven't seen this and it would make me feel a lot better.
> That's probably what someone would have said if they saw Facebook 20 years ago.

This is just a variation on the URN idea afaict. RFC2141 is more than 20 years old. There's been plenty of time to get out in front of fb, et al.
My takeaway from this, in addition to it being awesome, is that this likely means that many others are feeling what you are feeling as well, if you are in fact feeling burnt-out too.
Taproot decreases the size of multisig and other complex transactions significantly, in the happy path of a cooperative signature.

It also enables Schnorr, which produces smaller signatures than ECDSA.

It also contains features to further improve the efficiency of Lightning, which is a shockingly effective scaling mechanism.

My dream for a search engine is to be able to exclude the entire ad+seo web from my results by filtering out any results that have 3rd part ad javascript. Then we could actually find the non-commercial web again and hopefully help it grow.

This search engine is just trying to copy google's with a few tweaks in the result, not that interesting.
As a frequent user of dark mode, it isn't that at all. I don't care about things matching. I care about browsing in the middle of the night with the lights off and not killing my eyes. It doesn't have to be an all the time thing. It's just a matter of letting people tailor what is hitting their eyes to be appropriate to the surrounding ambient light level. Like high-end flashlights offering a red light mode. You acknowledge that it looks worse, but it also doesn't blind your users.
So what does this solve that a 128bit random value doesn't?

Are there specific things that differentiate this app from other mood journals like Daylio?
This spec is awesome for us. Much of the cannabis space in USA depends on these government systems that require a central authority (read: government software) to generate IDs and lot-identifiers for items in the system (or they charge $0.40 for single-use RFID tags). And those systems are buggy, offline, broken, errors, etc, etc, etc.

So, this distributed ID system would permit us to take the central generator OUT of the process -- and do so following a coming global standard (rather than the current attempts to try one-off "unique" methods).

We were already doing something very similar to what is in this document -- which is nice, validates some of what we were already thinking. And I think it will be easier for us to bring others in with some "official" specifications. (I know it's draft only right now).
Have a look at the literature on how smoking was established as a cause for cancer. You can't ethically intervene to have non-smokers smoke long enough to develop lung cancer. A lot of money and intellectual effort was spent on correlation not equaling causation in this case.

I'm no expert on the literature here, but Peter Norvig mentions the smoking-cancer example in his article on experiment design [0]. He gets to the same place the causality people do; observational studies.

Finding companies that take on juniors is a constant challenge across the board (across langs and platforms).

We don't have that solved in Elixir, I've helped a few find their way into employment and am working with a few on client work right now.

But companies just need to get into the habit of working with less experienced devs. Not specifically an Elixir problem from what I've seen but we certainly have it.

It might be slightly worse due to many early adopters of Elixir being fairly experienced so the pool of devs has tended to be intermediate/senior. This is changing and I expect companies will, eventually, adapt.

The demand for devs all around is going up what I hear. So competition should return with a vengeance.

It really depends on how efficiently the gov't can spend the tax revenues.

The reason most economists think that lower taxes are better for economic activity, is that usually the same money will be part of multiple transactions in the same amount of time that the government would take to spend it once.

...but you also have to balance the utility of that expenditure. Some forms of spending go towards equipment purchase, which can increase future economic activity - but other forms of spending really are wasteful until the next use of that money.

...but that analysis is nearly impossible an filled with so many judgement calls that no one can convincingly model it.

It was the majority opinion to oppose same-sex marriage. Are we going to cancel everyone who once or still supports it? Remember we are still very much a Christian country. Obama in 2008 ran against same-sex marriage and cited his Christian beliefs as the reason.

We'd have to cancel many people's careers to pass your purity test of a clean history of accepted beliefs.

In the woke world, similar to North Korea, if you commit a thought crime, you will be considered dirty blood, and it will be attributed to your family and friends as well.
I thought a chyron would be some poetic form I'd never heard of. It's actually the text and graphics at the bottom of the screen on a news program.

I look at this from a physics perspective. I generally have 3-4 hours a day where I am making something (as I take on more leadership it goes down to 2-3 hours a day). During this time I am doing 'real work', i.e. applying force to our goal posts to move them toward delivery. Simply said, work is force over time and force = mass * acceleration. If I look at that as development force = knowledge x development effort, then my 'real work' is increasing my development effort. However, the time I spend refreshing, increasing my skills and my general knowledge, is increasing my knowledge, aka mass. Therefore it still increases the amount of work I can do. I can do more with 4 hours of work than many junior devs I know can do with a week. Not because I'm special, but just because I've done it before and now the technologies.
Because I find the title gives no indication what to expect, the author is David Foster Wallace, and here's the first paragraph:

> Because I am a long-time rabid fan of tennis in general and Tracy Austin in particular, I've rarely looked forward to reading a sports memoir the way I looked forward to Ms. Austin's Beyond Center Court: My Story, ghosted by Christine Brennan and published by Morrow. This is a type of mass-market book—the sports-star-"with"-somebody autobiography—that I seem to have bought and read an awful lot of, with all sorts of ups and downs and ambivalence and embarrassment, usually putting these books under something more highbrow when I get to the register. I think Austin's memoir has maybe finally broken my jones for the genre, though.

On further reading, wow, that's pretty savage. Sure seems disproportionate to me. For example, I wonder if you can be as outraged as DFW that:

> The author's primary allegiance seems to be to her family and friends.

as opposed to that allegiance being to the reader, whom she owes because, it seems, of the reader's interest in her:

> Obviously, a good commercial memoir's first loyalty has got to be to the reader, the person who's spending money and time to access the consciousness of someone he wishes to know and will never meet.

In fact, as someone who has at times enjoyed DFW immensely, it's hard to imagine a writer who writes more for himself than DFW, so the complaint comes across as a bit off-base to me.
The guilt you're feeling is intentional. The culture of capitalism is the driving force behind it. By recognizing it, you're already partway to breaking free.

For sure. The last time I talked to both FB and AMZN, I came in as a higher level referral for a specific job into both. But like a year or two earlier than yours.

AMZN's was very pleasant, though I think because I was a referral, I was side channeled and would have gone through their normal unpleasant process eventually if it was a good fit (it wasn't).

My FB interview was very similar to your AMZN description. They gave me a CS interview guide, told me to spend a few weeks studying it, and did the algorithm lottery on me. The main reason I declined to move forward was because they couldn't guarantee I'd actually get the role I was referred into and basically none of the process was role-relavant. It felt indistinguishable from the AMZN tech interview.
>Obviously they're saying(correctly) that the part that isn't true is the part where you said the search results aren't directly from bing.

This makes no sense. What I said is still there. I said that Bing is one source used to derive the results DDG returns.
Ah, I see, Thanks for the heads up.
> If I’m your boss, sitting next to you and in full view of your screen, and I’m there for 8 hours working, will the average person work a real 8 hours?

You probably get a few weeks of “real 8 hours” before your best employees find somewhere less oppressive to work and leave your micromanaged company.

Your bad employees will stay because they don’t have better options.
Non-airline pilot and generally curious, plus work on viability of new ground up stack for vehicle vs Garmin or Honeywell.

Rules for my own small GA plane flights if it’s in one without glass cockpit are: two fully charged devices with latest data on both (iPad and phone), flight plan on both (ForeFlight syncs automatically), plus two means of charging (larger Anker pack, and dashboard USB or 12V outlet).
I used to work at a startup that utilized Webflow heavily for the frontend. The CEO was a designer by trade and very good with it, so he would build out all of the pages there. We'd then adapt the markup into Rails views and include the stylesheets Webflow generated and boom, working product.

It was extraordinarily fast for static content, although forms and controls were a bit more difficult. We ended up building out some primitives using Stimulus and ActionView Components to make life easier, and overall it was a surprisingly nice workflow.

Would I recommend it to others? Possibly. It worked really well for our situation where time and agility were valued above all else, but I attribute the success there in part to the way the team worked and the fact that our founder was so proficient with it.
Looks like they updated a bunch of their landing pages. Their UI for paying users to browser buckets and computer backups hasn't changed at all. So what?

Innovation is exciting. Serious, exciting innovation in most of the computing world has ground to a near halt for over a decade now. Most things, hardware, software, web etc are just iterative, and often a step backward. Nothing to be excited about anymore.

In the 90s, not getting an expensive new PC every 2 years or so meant you were screwed if you wanted to play any of the cool new games coming out. I haven't upgraded my system in over 5 years, and I can still play most new titles with a few minor graphic settings turned down or off.
