The people with an agenda against renewables are strong on HN (and even more on Reddit) and completely outside of any viable statistics and numbers out there.

Every single country which increases their renewables share is performing better and better in terms of energy. But I suppose if you have a lot of shale gas to sell or subsidies to steal from tax payers for fossils or nuclear then the financial short term incentive is very high to shill for these dinosaur technologies.

I can't speak for ketamine, having never used it myself, but I do have experience with Ambien. Long story short, once it kicks in, your ability to remember what you've done is essentially nil, limited to maybe a few minutes at most (or at least that was my experience). The medical term is "anterograde amnesia".

As long as you take it on an empty stomach and immediately go to bed and stay there until you fall asleep, it's reasonably safe (as long as you don't sleep walk or anything). That said, I personally recommend against Ambien, vehemently so, unless you have a family member/roommate who lives with you and can keep an eye on you while you're on it.

Personal story follows:

I was originally prescribed Ambien for insomnia back in 2008 or 2009 (quite a while ago!). At first it was like a miracle drug - about 30 to 60 minutes after taking it, I got sleepy and went right to bed. But after about six months on it, that changed...

One day I went to fill the monthly prescription as normal - 30 tablets. I took one that night and waited for it to kick in. The next thing I remember, it was the following afternoon. The bottle with the Ambien in it was knocked over on the night stand next to my bed, lid on the floor, with two pills having slightly emerged out of the open bottle. I looked inside and to my surprise, found only 11 pills left. Out of THIRTY.

So what happened? I decided to record myself that night right when I was to take the normal dose (one pill) and found that it was no longer making me sleepy, BUT I STILL COULDN'T REMEMBER ANYTHING I'D DONE, INCLUDING FORGETTING THAT I'D ALREADY TAKEN THE MEDICATION. In other words, I took the drug, didn't get sleepy, forgot I'd taken it, and took another. Lather, rinse, repeat. The next day I was down to 3 pills.

Moral of the story: the anterograde amnesia caused by Ambien can be extremely dangerous and lead to overdose if you're not careful, so if you're going to use it, make sure you have somebody who can watch you to make sure you don't OD on accident. Thankfully I had zero consequences from that accidental OD - nothing bad happened thankfully - but I was a lot younger and in better health back then; if that happened today, I'm not so sure I'd have emerged unscathed.

If you want to try something in that class of drug, talk with your doctor about Lunesta and/or Sonata first. The former causes a weird strong metallic taste in the mouth for some people (myself included), but AFAIK isn't nearly as dangerous. I've heard people have good luck with Sonata as well, but in my case it doesn't work for me at all for some reason (my body just doesn't process it I guess...). There are a lot of other RX medications for sleep you can try too, so talk with your doctor before jumping to any conclusions. But I still recommend putting Ambien at the bottom of your list because it's definitely not safe for everybody.

Exactly.

When you are building one offs, and something goes wrong and you redo it, you don't gain benefit from knowledge of not making same mistake again. As there isn't next time. Now when you have done same mistake before you won't repeat it. And these mistakes are the reason behind delays and part of cost over runs.
Bad actors know about 911, and folks are still sometimes able to call it to get help. Even if well known, this would be the worst case scenario.

This paper tell, one more time than the actual French constitution is monarchic in spirit, with an "elected king". But historically, this constitution is far more inspired by the two empires regimes than the french monarchies.

- There was a "Sacred King selected by God" for the kingdoms aspect totally missing in the empires, while the emperors where, supposedly, "selected by the people"

- the two chambers system, was first used by the consulate, a pre-imperial temporary regime (it was a fake triumvirate where Bonaparte was the only real ruler). This two chamber system was inspired by the UK system to appease monarchists and keep by the various regimes since then (except Vichy France).

- the first empire have used a lot (of rigged) referendum where all adult male, where allowed to vote.

- The first "suffrage universel" to elect a president was established by the second republic, and then abused by the new president, and future second emperor (all men, no women, no clergy and no algerians where allowed to vote)

- The constitutions of the second empire include a referendum, called "plebiscite",as a way to either to approve the emperor or to change the law over the parliament. This was inspired by the first empire, and this is also the fact in the actual constitution. (Recently there was a change in the actual constitution to allow a referendum launched by member of the parliament. It was written in a way to render it unusable.)

The way the institution are organised, the constitutions of the second empire (1862) and the actual constitution are father and daughter...

The real big difference is than the actual constitution include at the start the "Déclaration des Droits de l'Homme et du Citoyen" from 1789.

Also, De Gaule had lost a referendum in 1969! This was a big change, the idea was to allow the president to force a change of the constitution by referendum, but this time this a become a tool against him because he had say before "if i lost i quit", so the question was more "did we keep De Gaule as president or not ?"

The same in 2005, there was another lost one, and a very big one, because France had say no to an European treaty (and also Netherlands) Since then the government/presidents do not use this tool any more they prefer to change the constitution using the parliament because it's less risky...
(and using this way the two "No" where changed to "Yes" later)

The history of Napoleon III becoming an emperor after being an elected president by the people was one of the main reason of the opposition of the parliament against De Gaulle for the change of the constitution. De Gaule had reply at the time than he was too old to become a dictator but Napoleon III had said before something like "In a democratic government, only the leader must have the power to govern".

I cycle to work now on an ebike and it's awesome. Just need to dress warm when it's cold. One catch is there's an obvious range limitation. If it takes longer than other forms of transport, people are going to choose the other forms of transport. On the other hand, as congestion in a particular area increases, that equation shifts in favour of ebikes, meaning they can be considered organic efficiency regulators of the transport system.

Another catch is safety. Forcing bikes to share the road is dangerous. Cities really need bike lanes.

The Strontium Dog series in the 200AD comic had T-weapons. They're grenades that displace everything in a bubble around them a few minutes forward in time. The problem for the target is that by then planet Earth has moved on in it's orbit and they're dumped into the vacuum of space.

The article and the book it's reviewing are discussions of the philosophical issues raised by time travel, in particular the logical paradoxes and metaphysical implications. They are not really looking at the practical aspects of it or the physics, except to the degree that those might impinge on the logical and metaphysical issues.
You have it wrong if you think people could return back to their homes in a few weeks after a catastrophic dam failure. Flooding like those don't leave any homes or cities to return to. Land slides and wave takes everything in its path, buildings people and animals alike.

In 1975 when Banqiao Dam failed, 26,000 died from flooding, 145,000 died from subsequent famine and epidemics, and 11 million became homeless. When the waters flowed back to the sea, it took a bit longer than "been back inweeks if not days". The flooding did not leave any radiation, but the human toll was still very high.

The fallacy is a favourite of the news media

"In the studio today we have someone who has been studying this topic at a reputable institution for decades. And to argue a different side we have someone who only learned about this topic ten minutes ago but nonetheless can be relied upon to have strong contrary opinions, no matter the subject."

Of course the reputable person could be wrong but listening to the guy spouting BS is not going to help discern the truth, which is almost certainly not anywhere in whatever "middle" was conjured up by the BS.
Covid lockdowns have a a lot to do with that too.

People used to spent their money in restaurants, bars, cinemas, theaters, parties, festivals, massages, hairdressers, and a bunch of other services. If you add lockdowns, many things happen:

* people have leftover money, that they instead spend on "things"... and since they're used to using less services, this is also true for some time after the lockdowns

* If you're stuck at home, you'll buy stuff that makes that nice... a better tv, a game console,...

* Some lockdown policies directly affect your 'need for stuff' - school from home? Kids need their own PCs, you need to buy a scanner and a printer for them,...

* People working from home also have more free time, and decide to do the long delayed house work and projects - so people buy more construction materials (also people want houses outside of cities, because it's nicer to be there during lockdowns), so prices of that go up too

* and last but not least, manufacturers fuck up their orders, don't have stock buffers, and fail horribly
I'm not interested in "time travel", ie. moving matter through space and time. I'm interested in information travel. We don't need to move matter at all - what's the use? It seems pointless, high energy, and wasteful.

What we need to move in time are bytes. That's infinitely valuable. Perfect markets, infinite series of experimental choices that collapse recursively into one. O(1) compute. Constant time access to many world outcomes.

We're still thinking as if our human bodies matter in the limit, and that holds our imaginations back. Bodies will be extinct in a thousand years or (much?) sooner. (If not, then we fucked up and got ourselves stuck in the gravity well with nuclear Holocaust or something.)

AGI or BCI (whichever wins) will be working on this problem. Information travel would be very useful for them. Assuming the physics on this pan out, which currently appears as though it won't.

> From what I understand, the main difference is that with Emacs you can start hacking any part of the environment right from the start. It's designed to be played with.

I think you nailed the big difference right there.

I mostly use vim but configuring the editor is a gateway to programming new functionality. You start small by defining a function bound to a key. Then you start exploring more of the api and gluing functions together. Eventually you refactor it a bit if you find it worth sharing.

I've only used emacs for a bit and I understand it has more of that "OS" aspect to it where people stay in their editor for a lot of tasks that are more than just"edit text". But like vim, users can tweak functionality in a relatively accessible and not overly-limiting way. And they are introduced to this early on.

I've used vs code. It's pretty. It works well. I have the impression that to change functionality I either have to hope it already exists as a toggle somewhere or go read how to write a full vs code extension. At least in my experience, it lacks the incremental aspect described above.

As long as you take it on an empty stomach and immediately go to bed and stay there until you fall asleep, it's reasonably safe

What’s so, so, unfortunate is that prescribing doctors don’t tell that to patients. So patients think, oh okay, I have problems falling asleep, so this drug that my physician prescribed will make me feel tired and at that point I’ll go to bed.

And so people stay awake until they feel tired.

Which is very much not how to take Ambien.

I worry that poor communication on the part of prescribing physicians will curse other potentially amazing medications.

> what you're insisting, is that that the developer has done something "wrong" simply by presenting multiple paths, and they need to "improve" upon it by removing the ones which don't produce some arbitrary amount of dopamine and adrenaline per button press.

Nowhere in any of my comments will you find any mention dopamine nor adrenaline. I said "good", which is a point along the dimension of quality. You know, that thing we all strive for because it's literally better?

I'm exactly arguing *AGAINST* exploiting brain chemistry for profit in the video game industry. You are defending that practice as a valid form of art and entertainment.

(Likewise Berlin, though Berlin also has much better public transport).
The article mentions Wilfred Thesiger; I'd just chime in with a quick recommendation - both 'The Arab Sands' and 'The Marsh Arabs' rank among the best travel/exploration books I've ever read.

Quite unlike most of his contemporaries, Thesiger goes out of his way to live with and understand the people he encounters, rather than trying to impose his own morals and standards on them.

I haven't read The Marsh Arabs in years; think I'll try to locate it on my shelves tonight...

> But are there any other reasons, technical or otherwise, why people don't seem to use VSCode for things beyond editing code?

The best answer I've seen to this question is https://www.murilopereira.com/the-values-of-emacs-the-neovim...

Amongst other things, it lists different values that each tool prioritizes, and how "Core values are self-reinforcing. They attract like-minded people, who will then defend them."

Emacs: Extensibility, Freedom, Introspectability, Keyboard centrism, Stability, Text centrism.

VSCode: Approachability, Integration, Maintainability, Progressiveness, Velocity.

That is, even if VS Code achieves technical parity with Emacs (wrt introspectibility/extensibility), its community might not prioritize using VS Code for things beyond editing code.

Or maybe it will. These things are difficult to predict!
Ah thanks, that was the blog I was thinking about but I didn't realise the timing there. That makes sense, I wonder how that would be if they re-tested it now.
You've completely missed the point.

Let's put it in other terms: if your point were true then Javascript wouldn't be the language of browsers. English (which is a mess of a language) wouldn't be the de facto international language.

You cannot conflate "success" with "better". There are so many other factors at play (like money, company politics and which platforms that language is used on happened to luck their way into the mainstream...to name a few).

My point being that the reasons for C's success was as much to do with external factors as it was to do with C itself. In fact in a parallel universe where Bell Labs didn't give UNIX source away and RMS wasn't born (thus wasn't around to create GNU and mandate C as the standard), I'd wager you'd be talking about an ALGOL-derived language (possibly SPARK) as "the best" with C as an academic curiosity; a footnote in history. Or maybe we'd all be writing LISP.

Electron is pretty capable technology. SpaceX uses Electron in space. I recently reverse-engineered firmware of some small device with tiny screen and underpowered CPU. It used Electron for its GUI.

I would say that issue is not Electron itself. Issue is other GUI frameworks which are so terrible that developers prefer Electron despite its objective issues.

I spent good amount of time learning WinAPI, learning MFC, learning Delphi, learning Swing, learning JavaFX, learning a little bit of WinForms. I wrote few native Android apps and iOS apps. I'm not an expert, but I saw enough APIs.

I'm mostly backend developer. I know JS, but only enough to be able to read the code and do some modifications.

If I would need to write GUI, I'd write it with HTML/CSS/JS any day. It's infinitely easier than whatever native tech there is.

I did not try Flutter or SwiftUI though. Those are most modern frameworks, may be they improved.
