A friend and I did a "guided" psychedelic session earlier this year. We did it individually over one weekend. It was great. She did it for more therapeutic reasons. I did it more for philosophy/spiritual reasons. But the two main things I took away are 1.) Guided sessions are qualitatively different than recreational sessions, and 2.) It is such a crying shame that this isn't an accepted "tool in the toolbox" for therapists.

It's not about having crazy life altering, world-bending experiences (though that can happen). It's just about helping you get into a state of mind that allows for an effective therapy session. Sort of like... would you want to do your therapy session in a crowded bar, next to your mom? No, probably not. We all recognize that such a setting would not be conducive to good therapy. So similarly, we should be able to recognize that having the right setting, both mentally and physically can affect the quality of your session. Psychadelics can do exactly this.

It's also worth noting my friend has done "regular" therapy for 2 years, and she felt like there was a step change after the guided session. Her therapist noticed it as well.

When you consider that pain meds have ruined literally millions of lives through addiction, and that also virtually (maybe literally?) no one has ever died due to overdose of psilocybin, it's very confusing why one is prescribed all the time, and the other is considered incredibly dangerous. The U.S.'s perspective on drugs is so very backwards.
Who were SRI?

Why did it have the same name as the original Terra Vision?
Perhaps we're using the word "mission" differently. I would call that a goal, and i agree its important.

In most places i have worked, the mission has been some high minded rhetoric about how we're going to change the world for the better that is really disconnected from what we actually do.
You missed the point. It shouldn’t be so easy to configure it incorrectly so it breaks security. A dishwasher shouldn’t have buttons that combine to break your dishes.

Your defense of “you don’t understand it” is exactly the problem. That’s an argument in support of my point, not against it.
Yeah, that's right. Maybe I misunderstood his intent but I took "You can't set up a local user account or use your PC at all" at face value. You can set up a local user account and you can use the computer without an Internet connection; you just can't do that during the initial OOB process.

While it sounds like an inspiring read, it also sounds as if it is creating a lot of strawmen. In "The World Before Yesterday", Jared Diamond writes that there were thousands of tribes in New Guinea, and each had different ways of living. So the claim that "traditional research" is unable to fit the things they found in this new book seems flat out wrong.

Also there is a long history of scientists idealizing some traditional societies to prove a point about their desired ways of living. Often they turned out to be far from reality, and in reality far more violence and rape was going on than the researchers claimed (for example Yanomami seem a popular example).

Lately I have read frequently that a majority of women were subject to rape in traditional societies. While I also not necessarily believe it at face value (there are ideological reasons to make that claim, too), it also does not sound extremely unlikely and may serve as a starting point to doubt the idealization of traditional societies.
Agree: the majority of businesses are about making lots of money for the investors. The product, the consumers and the staff are all just a means to that end. It's not just in software development.

But there are domains that actually are focused on creating things of value and solving real problems. For example, I have worked on steel mill automation, materials handling and warehouse logistics. Basically there is software in everything so there are lots of opportunities. Perhaps you could look at what domain appeals to your values and interests.
Eh, "anti-patterns" are like "best practices". It really all depends on the actual situation (and hard data). I like to think that programmers get paid the big bucks to actually think, not just do what a blog post tells us to do (and this one seems to mostly be telling us to pay for Redis Enterprise).
There is a company that does battery replacement. I think they swap yours for a reconditioned one or pair, and then service the ones you sent in.
What about tools that you configure once and then don't think about again. If the thing it does is useful then that feels like a very sticky model for a B2B SAAS tool.
Yeah, same here. I don't have any intimate knowledge of it personally, but I do know it shipped on the ROM in the 601 era. Given its size, I wonder how much of it is an emulator and how much a translator between the 68k and PPC toolbox calls. The early Macs are famous for doing tricks with memory to fit everything in the extremely limited work RAM, so I'd bet there's some MMC trickery in there as well.
You ought to watch the actual mini series. Thanks for your otherwise insightful comment.
The blog reiterates that using Redis as your primary database is totally possible, and a good idea even. I think that's the biggest Redis anti-pattern out there. I would never put data in Redis that I wasn't comfortable losing at some point. There are way too many other perfectly good, OSS options designed for durable storage (and the access patterns that come along with "primary databases").

No, the GPL wording is that any additional restriction can be ignored by the end-user.

They’d give new mothers samples of formula and tell them it’s healthier and safer for their babies. Just enough that by the time it ran out the mother’s milk hadn’t come in and breastfeeding would be extremely difficult or impossible to start. Then start charging for formula.

Similar tactics to drug dealers, but most drug dealers I’ve dealt with had more of a social conscience than that.
That is a way to look at the "dumb" aspect, just as we would say "kids are dumb".

Im sorry but how does that work? If the purpose of online backup is for your data to be stored online, why would you need 20TB or 20GB (or any amount) of storage attached to the backed up computer? Backblaze, or any other online backup service stores everything on their storage, elsewhere, and that's exactly the point: that if your entire house burns to the ground with all your computers and external drives etc, you have a cloud copy of all their content in a secure, password protected external location, and you can then download them elsewhere from online. As for sync, most online backup service seem to offer at least a basic version by which your local data syncs with your externally backed up data so that they incrementally stay identical.

Am I nitpicking when I say that all techniques mentioned in this article don't capture meaning but rather capture similarity? In particular, the article never mentions grammar at all. Is this because of limitations in current computing or is the fundamental assumption that grammar is redundant?

I think it’s more likely a natural human response to the lack of autonomy we experience in the modern world. Especially during childhood we are forced to live our lives on rails, and we have no power to change the circumstances we find ourselves in nor to feel the innate pleasure of having solved problems with direct consequences. Animals in zoos develop strange behavior patterns. Why should we expect to be any different?

The irony is that these very same people who’ve been most damaged by the system choose to make themselves more dependent on it, and are also the ones who help it to strip more autonomy from all of our lives.
Yeah, that's what I didn't get either. From the side view pictures, I actually estimated that it got thicker.

Isn't every function in the world (in non duck-type runtime languages) colored by its return type? Functions have signatures. You can't call a function that returns an int and store the value into a variable of type string. Similarly, you can't store a future<int> to a variable of type int without yielding execution and (a)waiting for the result to show up in some memory location and then copying that.

async/await is just syntax that removes boilerplate from some common patterns like returning a future and yielding execution while waiting on its result. You could implement this yourself in every function, but people don't want to and find async/await convenient. So here we are.

Maybe it's just me, but the whole function color thing really comes off as "why can't I store a string in an int variable? The compiler could call itoa for me why doesn't it?". I mean if that's what you want go use a language where the compiler does that for you. We're here using types because we care about code correctness and are willing to endure some compile time restrictions to achieve it.
> Howdy! Well we absolutely need more open source CAD tools.

Please, no. We need one (or two for competition) really good open source solid modeling CAD tools with parametric and other interfaces. We do not need a dozen competing tools with varying feature overlap that need to be meticulously vetted before committing to one. Not to mention wasted dev time as each tool implements similar features in different ways, wasting very limited open source dev time.

Often I feel like FreeCAD is "getting there" but it's nowhere near "there" yet.

You know what's even dumber? Having a product that can vary in price 1000x or more...and taxing it by volume, instead of by its price.

Yet another way the rich shift more tax burden away from themselves. They pay a pittance of a tax on a $5,000 bottle of wine, while everyone buying "two buck chuck" at Trader Joes ($3-4/bottle) is getting hit with a huge tax percentage-wise.

Even taxing alcohol at different rates just because it's made with specific fruits is idiotic. It smacks of lobbyists buying off their congressional reps to get a rival sub-industry slapped with a higher tax. Just tax alcohol by its value, across the board at the same rate.
I know this is a public forum and not a scientific discourse, but considering that you criticising the book for essentially lack of evidence (facts), could you give some some evidence/examples for this?

Luckily hydrogen-air batteries have been around for decades.
Python calls it "pickling"[0] which is also pretty cool.

While others have already given examples re "marshalling" I'll go ahead and add one to the pile: Ruby also uses this term[1]. However, in my ~10 years of working with Rub daily, I have never Marshalled anything, nor have I known anyone who has. On the contrary, the few pythonists I talk to on the regular seem to be pickling all the time.

...but I seem to be maybe getting off track here.

Rowing actually made me worse at running. I rowed in college and during the summers, I'd erg much less and run/lift a lot more. Every fall when I switched back, my 5k pace fell off a cliff even though overall I was in much better shape.
Just FYI, hydrogen fuel cells are hydrogen-air batteries. There's no rational reason to reinvent the wheel for what is basically an inferior version of hydrogen fuel cells.
> I would speculate that manual instructions are probably good enough as long as you provide instructions that actually work.

Well, as long as the instructions rely only on things to which the user has access. If you document your internal build system beautifully, and nobody else is allowed to use it, that would not seem to pass muster.
Wow, that covers basically every buzz word and sounds terrible.

Can STEP files be parsed to order via e.g. (I know nothing about them) sorting some tree? Are there any e.g. hashes that change as content is modified?

In software we solved this with code style guides and later code formatting tools. I would be surprised if e.g. a Python script could not format the STEP files to a "canonical" representation before committing the file to version control.
Typically, one wouldn't use the term 'pickling' for JSON however, it's usually used for a more general serialization process. Most of the time I just hear people talk about 'loading' and 'dumping' JSON, also from the Python JSON library.

Iron-air are just another kind of metal-air batteries. The problem with all of them is that hydrogen-air batteries have existed for decades and is basically the same thing.

> You don't build stuff with `rustc` in general. (You build it with cargo.)

It doesn't matter in the slightest what you do, just that there is a documented way for someone to be able to do it, as convoluted as it may be. I should be able to patch your LGPL dependency even if I had never written a line of Rust in my life, so considerations like using the mainstream buildsystem there do not apply. A build.sh shell script is fine - I've used cmake to generate those for instance.

> Rust widely uses generics similar to C++ templates this means part of the code which is not supposed to become public will leak if the libary interface involves templates/generics.

Design your API boundaries better if you don't want that. Pimpl is often used for this.

> What is theoretically possible doesn't matter, what matters is what is practical. I.e. simple, and fast to setup and maintain.

.. no, what matters is respecting the license

> In rust (and somewhat in C) you normally don't link two "objects" to produce the final binary you build it with a number of "object" dependencies.

Sure, just ship the link line that cmake generates or whatever ? I don't understand what is so hard in that and it's more than enough to comply with LGPL.

> binary patching

I was referring of the standard process of applying a patch to the source code of a LGPL library before rebuilding it and linking it against the rest

I couldn't even install the client, either - they silently updated the client to have a logic time bomb and refuse to install.

> Marshalling can be somewhat similar or synonymous to serialization. Marshalling is describing an intent or process to transfer some object from a client to server, intent is to have the same object that is present in one running program, to be present in another running program, i.e. object on a client to be transferred to and present on the server. Serialization does not necessarily have this intent since it is only concerned about transforming data into a, for example, stream of bytes. One could say that marshalling might be done in some other way from serialization, but some form of serialization is usually used.[1]

I'm most familiar with the term "marshaling" from COM, where it is quite distinct from serialization.
