> a definite change in the clarity and volume of my inner voice and mental imagery

It's normal that these things varies, depending on the state you're in. Any kind of dopamine rush (thinking positively about future endeavours, thinking about something you would like to have, etc.) will make your inner voice louder and faster and you'll be imagining things more easily. I guess cannabis is somehow doing this for you, but you can also learn to do this without it (The Molecule of More by Daniel Z. Lieberman is great if you want to understand how one can do this).

I've done a lot of different drugs.

MDMA was different. I was in my 30s before I tried it: Before that point, I generally suggested folks do shrooms or LSD at least once in their life. Not anymore. MDMA can change the way you relate to yourself and your experiences. Profound change - things like no longer being so bothered by traumatic things in your past. There is good reason there are stories of MDMA being used as a marriage counseling guide: You are more comfortable and open talking about things you might have avoided. Which, really, is why it is being used for therapy and PTSD. Many of us just don't need the therapy bit.

Sidenote: I make both abstract and non-abstract art while tripping - the non-abstract tends to be a little surreal. Of course, I make art while sober, too - both abstract and not. I*m sometimes just more free when I am on LSD, but I do make similar stuff sober. Abstract art isn't a lack of creativity, by the way.

But this is because I do art. If you were doing a lot of maths or sciences, LSD might allow you to figure out a problem from a point of view you didn't consider before. Or maybe you make music and get some creativity there - this is really common too. LSD doesn't mean you are making bad products, just that you should look over them when sober to be sure.

Of course, you might be on of the many people that cannot make a straight line with a pen while on LSD, and that's pretty normal.

They're not suicidal. But they have this big inconsistency in their ethical framework.

I mean, if an elder gets into a car accident, shouldn't we try to save them? If a fire starts in a nursing home, shouldn't the residents be evacuated and the fire put down? How come that everyone understands the importance of saving lives, but some flip 180 degrees on it if the cause looks "natural" enough and the victim is old enough?

Couple days is typically worst case scenario. I only experienced that once when I wandered a lot during the experience, so it may not be completely imputable to the drug itself.

Last time I used it I stayed comfortably at home. The day after I could go hiking in the Alps without any problem.

Anyway, the tiredness you feel after using 2-CB is nowhere near as close to that you experience with MDMA, which may last for weeks. Which leads me to think 2-CB would be better for microdosing.

Also this is in no way me advocating 2-CB has being completely safe. Most people who tried it deem it so, but as of yet few researches have been conducted on that substance.

> I've done psychedelics and a bunch of different drugs, and honestly I don't see how it's any different from getting drunk. Sure, being drunk is different from being high on acid, but that's also different from being high on THC

I've also done psychedelics and my experience is the opposite.

I really don't see being high on THC or on acid the same as being drunk on alcohol at all.

Maybe it's because I don't like / enjoy alcohol but I do enjoy cannabis and psychedelics.

But when I'm drunk I can feel I'm unable to think properly and everything seems to be laggy.

I don't get any of that with thc and psychedelics, it's a different state of mind sure, but I don't think it's being induced by "poisoning your brain"
I would think AWS pays a lot in licensing.
Oracle database, Oracle MySql, Microsoft Sql Server
Microsoft Windows.

But microscopic compared to having to run proprietary
software on all servers.

System administration over hundreds of thousands of servers is a lot more complicated than one or a few z15 or Linux One machines.

In addition, z15 has battle-hardened reliability (far above AWS servers). All the infrastructure to feed and care for over hundreds of thousands of servers is a lot more complicated. Even if what you have to do is just shutdown servers that are not working and never turn them on again.

It is one of the biggest advantages of the z15 platform.

I think most people would think that a poor person under the rule of a despotic king is still better off alive than dead. So how come that, if the king were to live for hundreds of years, that poor person would suddenly be better off dead?

I feel this line of reasoning boils down to, "if we can't have perfect equality, everyone should die".

Everybody makes mistakes writing any kind of function.
China also didn't have official community transmission in December 2019 yet we were seeing people coming out of airplanes sick constantly, which allowed us to calculate their infection rates, which were then released publicly when they couldn't be hid any longer.

Today there are no flights out of China and we have to trust the same government when they say they have no transmissions.

Need I point to the centuries long history of communist regimes hiding mass deaths?
I know it's a bit futile, but according to its name the function seems quite generic. So I guess it's used in various places, so I wonder how such a big (in consequences, not in lack of attention: I code all day long I make tons of mistakes myself; been there done that got the T-shirt) mistake could still be there... (I repeat: I don't blame the coder, I know the stuff, I just honestly wonder)
I have written a formal, witnessed statement of my wishes, in the event that I'm unable to utter them. My physician has a copy; there's a copy in my desk-drawer at home, with my will.

I understand that different health authorities here have different policies on the registration and application of such "living wills". I have no confidence that if I get sick in the wrong place, my statement will even be noticed, let alone respected. Also, there's no reason why a paramedic coming to my home would know to look in my desk-drawer (I live on my own), and so discover that I don't want any CPR, ever.

And ultimately, these living wills are advisory only; medics can't be sued for ignoring them.

It's a bloody mess. I really hope I don't ever get demented.

I love the intelligent discussions here. This is the difference between the general reddit audience and the HN audience. I have read many of the well-written and well-articulated points in this comment section, and feel like I am walking away smarter....unlike with reddit, where I definitely leave a few braincells on the keyboard.
Though it'd be nice if they made those kinds of things more easily accessible, rather than hiding it behind tons of warranty stickers and really tiny screws.
Yeah exactly. I think the risk/reward ratio for many people is still not skewed enough in vaccine's favor compared to COVID. If COVID had been as bad as originally feared, I don't think we'd see as much hesitancy. But if somebody told an anti-vax person "you'll be dead in 3 months if you don't take this mRNA treatment", they'll take it for sure.
I don't know why it hasn't occurred to me as a problem before, but branches/PRs can also modify the workflow, and their build runs the new modified workflow... I must be missing something, because that seems to make it way worse, forget symlinks and project-specific vulns, just print the env? Has modifying the workflow on a 'PR branch' only worked for me because I've been the repo owner perhaps?

Edit to add: I think what I'm missing (haven't fully understood yet, just thought should share) is the importance here of the 'pull_request_target' event type used. The docs carry a warning:

> Warning: The pull_request_target event is granted a read/write repository token and can access secrets, even when it is triggered from a fork. Although the workflow runs in the context of the base of the pull request, you should make sure that you do not check out, build, or run untrusted code from the pull request with this event. Additionally, any caches share the same scope as the base branch, and to help prevent cache poisoning, you should not save the cache if there is a possibility that the cache contents were altered. For more information, see "Keeping your GitHub Actions and workflows secure: Preventing pwn requests" on the GitHub Security Lab website.

It is by far the easiest installation method I’ve encountered for vmware/vcenter.

Is radioactive fallout from a thermo-nuclear weapon an important consideration (compared to the destruction of the "thermo" part)? The bombs dropped in Japan only contained a few kg of fissile material, those cities were rebuilt within years. Modern bombs are probably way bigger, but even a W78 warhead comes in at only 120 kg or so and I'm guessing most of that is not plutonium.

Compare this to the thousands of tons of radioactive or activated material that flew around Europe following the steam explosion at Chernobyl.

WhatsApp Last Seen Hack: Hiding Last Seen from Specific Contacts
It's an interesting theory. My personal experience with the drug has been positive but it's very hard to say if it was necessary for me to get where I am now.

I had crippling social anxiety throughout my teens and into my early twenties. I had fully accepted that I would always be alone and I was happy for the most part. This all changed around age 25 as I (seemingly all of a sudden) became physically attractive enough for women to be interested in me. Without wanting to go into too much detail, my life was turned upside down and I started to learn lessons about people, society and relationships that I feel like I should have learnt 10 years prior. I no longer have social anxiety and can have meaningful relationships with people.

During this renaissance period I did use MDMA. But what did it do for me, if anything? Did it enable me to learn these lessons in a way that a normal 25 year old wouldn't be able to? Or did it show me things I wouldn't have seen otherwise, but were still within my natural ability to learn? Or was it simply a fun thing I did but ultimately I would've got where am I today anyway?

My feeling is the drug did help me, but I wouldn't just recommend it to others in my position. It won't do anything for you if you just take it in your bedroom with no other changes happening in your life. But if you find yourself, like me, learning how to be social much later in life, it might be worth a try. It won't harm you if you do your research (read erowid).

And interestingly I experienced the opposite as well, working on my car made me crave cigarettes for years after I quit. No other specific act, and generally I was even starting to get turned off by the smell when I passed it on the street. But that specific act was always associated with smoking and working with friends on cars.
FTA:

> it was clear what the problem was with a swollen C812 capacitor.

> So no need to check anything with a multimeter or an oscilloscope, a visual inspection of the board could immediately detect the issue.

I'm looking at the picture. I'm not in electronics and I can assure you it's absolutely not clear to me that this is the capacitor I'm looking for. So what should it look like ? I understand these things sometimes burn or swell but is it always visible ? And if not, what should I do to detect it ?

I'm always wary if these guides. If you know what you're doing then yes, replacing a capacitor is a quick fix to give your hardware a new lease on life, but you can get seriously injured or even killed if you mishandled the open power supplies these devices often contain.

This guide addresses the danger by saying you need to "wait for a while" without telling you what "a while" is (a minute? 5? an hour?) and how to spot the dangerous parts of the circuit board.

Having said all that, I think a general education on how devices like these can be fixed (safely!) is something a lot educational facilities should offer. Repairing basic and often even more advanced electronics requires little more than replacement parts, a soldering iron and some practice, but people are quick to throw something out when it stops working. The assumption seems to be that things are too complex to repair these days, but in all likelihood dead devices just had some protective circuitry do its job and fail before frying the mail circuits.
Do you count the USA as a democracy? Because what Snowden revealed was ruled to be illegal and unconstitutional, and without him breaking the law to reveal it, nobody would’ve even known it was happening much less ruled on it. We simply don’t know what else is being done and kept quiet by warning people that nobody else will be able to get away with what Snowden managed to do.

The UK similarly, with the extra twist that the court ruling it illegal was the ECtHR, whose jurisdiction the UK government keeps making noises about leaving: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-45510662 and https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-36128318

This was also commonplace in Spain, traditionally. Some people, especially old ones, will say "si Dios quiere" literally every time they refer to any event in the future, even if it's just "see you tomorrow". Not doing so would be considered a "challenge" to God, or Fate, more generally.

Curiously, from "inshallah" Spanish got the word "ojalá", a very common term for expressing hope of something happening (and with no religious or any other "deep" connotation anymore; just like you'd use "I hope").

Nice one, centurion!

That film has so many absolutely classic scenes with the Romans. My personal favourite is the "romanes eunt domus" scene!
They say it measured electic fields and then they say Volts. Volts is the unit for voltage potential. For electric fields is V/m. So are they able to measure the voltage on a power line without contacting it or they are able to measure electric fields ? They say nothing about precision which in context of measuring is quiet important.
Its an utter abomination that MDMA and psychedelics are criminalized.

I find law laughable in this regard and i find law makers a bunch of clowns for not giving me the basic freedom of finding ways to make myself happy.

We need a constitutional law that prohibits prosecution for victimless crime. And we needed it already a long time ago. Think of all the resources wasted, lives destroyed by upholding such rotten laws: laws against having fun.
I do think you should open your mind a bit. Smart TVs are pretty terrific, I can just cast whatever I want across the room and bam, it's on the TV. Friends can come over and share the input. I can lay in bed with nothing but a remote and browse my plex library.

I used to go along this line of thinking, and had a "dumb" TV for a long time. I would spend hundreds of hours trying to get a PC/xbmc/kodi setup with a remote control to be comfortable, but always required a keyboard and mouse next to the TV. In the end it was a waste of time and I wasn't enjoying my TV as an entertainment device.

When I finish work, I want to sit down and just have everything work. I don't want to have to keep getting up and pressing buttons and messing around to get a myriad of supplemental devices of varying quality to work. I just want one single device, on the wall, with a remote.
> If my repo always runs all tests on a PR, could someone just add a PR with a new test that is then run? Thus running their arbitrary code.

Running arbitrary code is inevitable if an action is configured to run on all PRs. People have abused this to run crypto miners and stuff in the past, but this for the most part is merely an annoyance to maintainers, not a security problem. It does become a security problem when arbitrary code execution is allowed with your secrets, including your configured secrets and the read/write GITHUB_TOKEN.

Expanding on the topic of secrets, if you trigger your test from the usual pull_request event, the workflow won't have access to GITHUB_TOKEN or configured secrets, so it's the safe default you should almost always choose. That becomes a problem when you need write access to the repo, e.g. to assign labels or add comments to the PR from the workflow, in which case you have to use the privileged pull_request_target event to expose GITHUB_TOKEN and secrets. pull_request_target by default runs in the context of the base of the PR, so there's still no arbitrary code, but you can explicitly check out the PR in that context, and when you do, your secrets are potentially exposed to arbitrary code. If you execute that arbitrary code in any job, or like in this case, post the content of effectively any file on disk as directed by an attacker, boom, owned.

Therefore, you should

- Avoid pull_request_target unless white access to the repo and/or access to configured secrets is absolutely necessary;

- When using pull_request_target, avoid checking out untrusted code;

- If it's absolutely necessary to check out untrusted code, make absolutely sure that the untrusted code isn't executed in any way, and that your trusted handling code can't be tricked by untrusted content in any way, like an arbitrary symlink. This is of course difficult to verify.

In this specific case, the fix seems to be checking that the absolute path of the untrusted advice.txt is within GITHUB_WORKSPACE (https://github.com/check-spelling/check-spelling/commit/4363...). IMO that's a wrong fix only covering up the symptom. The real cause is using untrusted configuration files at all; why not make a copy of the trusted version of configuration files and use those instead???
