> The U.S.'s perspective on drugs is so very backwards.

The War on Drugs is a flaw that needs to end but at least with psilocybin US is moving slowly in the right direction. The only countries where psilocybin is legal are Brazil, Jamaica, Nepal, Samoa, Netherlands (truffle format), British Virgin Islands and the Bahamas [1].

Many places are illegal but unenforced though still illegal.

US psilocybin is decriminalized in many places now including all drugs in Oregon. More states need to get more like Oregon definitely.

However, in most states spores are legal and so are grow kits for other types of mycology.

Grow kits and spores legal in most states, full cultivation decriminalized in Seattle, Washington, Ann Arbor, Michigan, Denver, Colorado, Santa Cruz, California, Somerville and Cambridge, Massachusetts, Oregon and Washington D.C. [1]

Legal in Oregon for mental health treatment in supervised settings since 1 February 2021 [1]

Full legalization needs to happen for marijuana and psychedelics. Decriminalization needs to happen for all drugs minimum as well.

As far as marijuana, psilocybin and LSD, they are the least toxic and less dependency forming of most drugs, even caffeine, aspirin and more. It is a tragedy and a drug dark age that they are in the Controlled Substances Act. I believe drugs should have to be toxic or cause death to actually be on that list. Marijuana, psilocybin and LSD are very safe when it comes to toxicity and drug overdoses are non-existent, all would be better as legal safer production products.

Legality makes everything safer, increases harm reduction and reduces black market unsafe production as well as reduces funding of cartels/mafias/bratvas. Their criminality truly makes no logical sense except to invite problems.

Thank you, guys :))
I don't like Apple, but I don't find these disappointing at all. For one, I'd love to replace my maxed-out Linux XPS 15 i9 with a maxed-out Linux MacBook Pro - if that worked well.
The M1 Max really looks like an exciting processor, I don't know if there's a better match for a laptop today.
If you don't like the act of writing code then you def don't want to go down the developer route.
I agree with some of the other comments that looking into product management might very well be worth it and your background in investment can help with that if you find a company in that field!
Sadly no. My new Thinkpad has only one USB-C port and it's used for power. So I cannot use the USB-C port while charging. And it has three USB-As and a freaking HDMI.
Compared to the M1, they kept the number of memory channels the same but increased the width of each channel. What are the performance implications of this from a pure CPU workload standpoint?
Or on the bench in the park, at the beach, on a boat, camping out of an RV. Remote work opened so many opportunities to work in awesome places all over the world, why wouldn't you take advantage of it?
Also, there is a number of people (some documented) that cannot understand jokes, and not even rhetoric (irony, references, acting etc.): is it possible they were not exposed in their formative years? It is, symmetrically, quite bewildering to see those people unable to manage the non-literal. This is a lack in intellectual formation, and it sticks to some - similarly to the lasting effects of not having been "exposed to mathematics" (a number of articles emerged in the recent times).

Edit: in fact, there is much more to that, now that I think about it: in the past few years, I have met a large number of people who, somehow, basically cannot read: they have the text in front of them, but cannot interpret it, if it is not literal. It surely must be lack of exposure to intellectual challenge, even to phenomena that some would have called "normal daily experience". And they have degrees. How did those "cannot make any sense of it" people emerge? Lack of exposure to differentiated stimula is certainly part of it.
Opioids (opium) have been around as long as mushrooms. Just because they are synthetic variations doesn't mean they are that different.
The redis AOF is a post-write log, so it's not a WAL.
European farmers out-produce American farmers per acre and do so with less pesticide and fertilizer use.

American farmers aren't very productive because they don't have to be. They get $85 billion a year in all manner of federal programs, and that doesn't even start to cover protectionist trade policies.

We pay farmers to not grow anything to artificially inflate the cost of produce. We did that because the old system generated outrage - namely, the federal government buying produce that it would ship to a warehouse (which of course the government didn't own or operate itself, so we paid for that as well) and then just let it rot. Bad optics, you see.

So now we just pay them to not do anything at all, because that's more efficient. Except we still have the federal govnerment buying up billions in food and letting it spoil.

Meanwhile, we have millions of kids who go to school hungry. And whenever anyone suggests more federal spending to fix that, guess who stands up and shouts about it the loudest? That's right, the congressional reps from midwestern states where they believe in capitalism and none of that commie handout shit.
> The German Sedan market has something Tesla does not nor it will in next 10 years or longer - the build quality.

Eh? German cars are renowned in my country for becoming giant money pits once they're 4 - 6 years old.
While I tend to agree with you, a society where "everyone" lives to age 70-80 does require a re-think of many social structures.

For example, one could wonder how much of the mess of current US politics is because the average age of people in power is so far about 60?
> On a particularly dumb note, ciders are limited by law to 0.64g per 100ml, or 3.2 volumes. Above that level they cease being ciders and instead become a sparkling wine. This is very important because natural cider is taxed at $0.226 per gallon, while sparkling wine is taxed at $3.30 or $3.40 per gallon depending on how the carbonation is added. This is a difference of roughly 30 cents per standard bottle, or $1.79 per six pack; enough of a difference to make similar products more attractive on the market place shelf.

I've seen this with chocolate too. The definition of chocolate in the UK and EU apparently requires one of the ingredients to be sugar, making sugar-free chocolate unable to be called chocolate unless it actually contains sugar. A friend of mine runs a keto chocolate company and he has to include a small amount of coconut sap to actually be allowed to market it as chocolate, even though he's trying to minimise carbohydrate content.

On the one hand, this seems a rather silly law, but on the other hand, how else do you define what a particular product is? Is it down to how it's marketed? Because then companies will just market it as something else that still hints it's the thing it's not, to avoid the tax and potentially gain more price-conscious customers.
Huh? I didn't say you can't have recommendations. I said you can choose your recommendation engine.

We have a lot of people at work with 2015 models - and they are SUPER happy. I have the 2018 model with i7 and I can't really see any difference in performance. I love the display, but mostly I use a 27 inch high DPI external screen along with an Apple magic keyboard.

One thing I strongly dislike about the i7 is how hot it can get with long compiles and such. So I think it's time to upgrade to the M1 Pro or Max.
For a long time I have wanted to use one of these systems, but I would never upload anything to the cloud unless I encrypted it with an algorithm that I trust like GNU's gpg first.

Is there any application, preferably for Windows, that can handle this for me? Synchronise files with a cloud system, but encrypting/decrypting them transparently as they are uploaded/downloaded.

You are missing the point of what I'm saying.

Trump wasn't taken seriously as a candidate in 2015. He didn't declare his candidacy until July 2015 at which point his odds were 150/1 and it didn't get above 66/1 in 2015.

In 2000 his run wasn't taken seriously either. He had a approval rating of 7%. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_2000_presidenti...
But what if what you invent is deeply simple, after you've worked out everything and spent years simplifying? What if it is 10 lines of code but it solves a big industry-wise prod or exploitation problem? The concept might be simple but might necessitate years of effort to find and validate?

After reading constant praise about simplicity here on HN it always sound like cognitive dissonance to then read when patents are mentioned that something 'simple' should not be protected.

> My desktop Windows PC has a 3700X which was very impressive at the time, but it is roughly similar in perf to the "low end" M1 aimed at casual users.

Still, your desktop can play AAA games at 120Hz with an appropriate GPU attached. No M1 device can do that. So once more, performance doesn't mean anything if you can't do what you want with it.
The with statement will leave the pipeline as soon as the first error, while a chain of and_then/or_else allow you to continue the execution of the pipeline. Which is what I wanted, example:

some_operation()
|> and_then(&some_other_operation/1)
|> or_else(&some_error_handling/1)
|> and_then(&another_operation/1)

The first and second step can fail and be handled by the third step, then continuing normally with the fourth step.

Doing this with a with statement is awkward (unless I've been doing it wrong).

Thanks for the feedback anyway :)

Having used many Dell XPS with the webcam in different locations they're all terrible. If a notch is the compromise needed for thinner bezel while retaining good webcam quality that is fine with me. You don't lose any screen space after all. It just means the menubar (which is a real waste of screen space) gets moved up and your "desktop area" is the true rectangular size of the display.

Sure it looks odd but I can see it working very well due to macOS's menubar UI design. On Windows it wouldn't work nearly as well. Interestingly it would work very well on GNOME (with the clock moved to the right hand side) as well!
If the HDMI port supports 100% of whatever resolution/framerate possible for modern top end monitors then I'd be happy to see the end of fighting with DisplayPort. Getting Macbook Pro to work with modern monitors is a buggy mess, loads of hassles []

> It's interesting that German also has widespread use of acronyms and they're totally different from the English ones (both in terms of what the acronym is, and which concepts are denoted with an acronym). E.g. WG = shared apartment (Wohngemeinschaft), LKW = truck (Lastkraftwagen), FKK = nudism (Freikörperkultur).

I would say, German has abbreviations (not acronyms) due to extremely long compound words. Hence, they are meaningful.
Or thanks to elixir's pipeline operator:

err

|> unlift()
|> lift()

Which is already more readable. And I choosed the Rust terminology for a reason, I think and_then/or_else is way clearer than fmap/bind.

But I agree, I would love for Elixir to have a builtin Result type.
I think it's also some circular reinforcing, like Hollywood trying their hardest to ride every wave (perceived as) trend and milk it dry, so they'll get to lead that wave - in the minds of some viewers at least. On the other hand, do we see that over-puritanism also in the daily lives? Or it's just on the screen and we mistake that for real life? Bear in mind that there's also a world outside the US too, and both humor and sensitivities vary a lot.
That's more like a drug dealer caught with 200 plastic bags of cocaine saying plastic bags are not illegal, they contain no drug substances at all. Sure, but most of the torrents they had there pointed to copyrighted data, and facilitated their download, which is illegal.

I've experimented with literate programming with org mode in emacs a few times, but every time its just been hard to make it stick. I don't really know why. I think it may have to do with the fact that its weird to have your project code in one giant file. I mean, you could do something differently than that I would think, but that's how I've always seen it.

I actually just read the ghc chapter of aosa. Since then, I've been considering adopting this note style. It certainly seems like it could work out.

For me, its clear that there is a lot of intrinsic information I would like to capture in some way, but it really doesn't work as self-documenting code. Some people say that stuff should go into commit messages, but I really think that has limited value.

I dunno. I wish more people were working on this problem. I understand that unison has some kinda interesting takes on this, but I don't actually remember what they are off the top of my head.
Thanks :)

I was copy/pasting bits of this code in multiple projects, this quickly became annoying.
I strongly against to call 2560px 2K. It should be wrong and confusing.

4K is came from 3840 or 4096px. 4K/2=2K, so 2K should refer near 1920 to 2048px, so naturally the standard FHD 1920. 2560px must not be called as 2K. It's even near 3K if rounded. Sadly some smartphone manufacturers call 2560px 2K.

Looks interesting. I am also learning Spanish at the moment and have tried translating children's stories as a form of exercise but it is a bit of an effort. My biggest problem is that I am never 100% sure whether the translation service I use, Deepl, is accurate enough.

For instance, a translation service won't advise me on whether the preterite or imperfect was more suitable, and in fact, that sort of nuance is often conflated to the same translation in English.

It's a pretty awesome feature indeed.

They could have easily changed volume on their display - I had the touchbar but never liked the fact that you had to look away from your screen just to change the volume.

Changing volume is definitely one of those use cases where the physical function keys were much better IMO - It's one physical button press rather than touch the button, look down at the slider, and try to drag it into the right position.

I also use my laptop in a dock about 50% of the time, so end up just using the on-screen volume adjustment and keyboard shortcuts anyway... If Apple really believed in the concept they would have put the touchbar into their keyboards too.

Thank you, I try my best to come up with good documentation so I don't need to go read the source code :)
