I'm talking about trying to contact people at Apple about bugs in their "open source" code.

Why would I send an email to security@apple.com for something that is not a security issue?

> Again, have you even tried?

Yes, I tried for ld64 in the past, and I tried through what I was told had the best chances to work by an Apple employee this time for dyld. I'm not holding my breath, though.

All I’m reading is that autism is a stupid categorization. It’s too arbitrary and coarse.
Sometimes the people on the local BBS would even get together for stuff! See a movie together, have a potluck out in the local park... you know, human social stuff. Hang out with the people you've been chatting with regularly.
Whataboutism is very relevant. If A is accusing B of eating babies, then why shouldn't B - or anyone, for that matter - not point out that A is also eating babies and raping old ladies?

What you call "pro CCP people" is just people outside the sphere of influence of A. In your environment it's been normalized to hate on China for any reason. You're likely being brainwashed 24/7 or a paid troll.

I don't think this makes it truly an European issue...

In general history as it is taught is almost a total loss for how biased it is, meaning that since we dropped the ball on writing it down we are doomed to repeat it until we do. So far we have only been playing at historical account, because the truth undermines national borders. But this is a global issue.
That is pretty freaking miserable and would annoy me to no end. Are they going to let you take off your week at some point in the future?
As said, grow your own. No need to deal with risky characters, you'll know exactly what you have, requires very little space, low risk as long as you can keep your lips zipped. It's about 6 weeks from inoculation of spores to first harvest, and the total investment to get started can be about $100, most of that for one-time expenses. Spores are legal to buy in most (47) states, and can be ordered from the open internet. If you're in one of the 3 non-legal states, or a non-legal country, there are online spore print exchanges. After buying once, you can propagate from your own spore prints, or from clones.

I would not rely on Reddit for your cultivation advice. Try shroomery.org, an old school web 1.0 forum that's been around since 1997. People who have participated there for years and are recognized as experts are marked with a "Trusted Cultivator" badge. Yes, it is actually possible to grow shrooms on Uncle Ben's precooked microwavable rice packets, but it is not a recommended practice due to high percent of batches lost to mold/bacterial contamination before the spores can germinate. It's just too wet of a substrate and doesn't have adequate airflow for oxygen that the mycelium needs to grow. I have tried it even though I usually use more advanced techniques, and lost 4 of 8 bags to contamination, even though I used above average sterile handling methods.

The PF Tek method is considered a reliable method for beginners that minimizes the equipment you need to buy, and is recommend in the shroomery.org's "getting started" sticky thread: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/2442017... The thread also has links to spore vendors who have been vetted as reliable.

There is a also a discussion forum on the site for those who choose to use shrooms medicinally, including microdosing, recommended micro/macro dosages and dosing practices, etc.
I use 1pass but don’t necessarily trust it to make things any more secure..

AFAIK there is no way to prove that the cloud storage only stores an encrypted version at all times. Even if i audited the source and checked the network activity a few times, all it would take is one auto update that skips encryption, uploads the unencrypted passwords to a server and then restores the original binary. The only proof would be a network request if i was even actively logging and monitoring every single outgoing packet.
Which is clearly false (ADHD is not only recognized in the US), and disingenuous to boot.

And you explicitly referred to cocaine as an equivalent option to prescribed medication. Despite it being highly illegal in nearly every country in the world, of difficult to ascertain quality or purity (and often cut with dangerous or unknown substances), and would be used in this context with no professional oversight - since it’s highly illegal.

Yikes.
Because the books within the ketuvim/Hagiographa are basically a mishmash of stuff that doesn't fit within the Torah or Prophets, I think a bit of confusion is understandable and not inherently dismissive. I've read a good chunk of the bible (as a kid my parents made me skip some parts that they felt espoused immoral sexual behaviors) and still needed to look up the taxonomy of the 5 books within the Book of Psalms
It's an elaboration of his advice, not the opposite. Please be patient enough to read all of the OP's advice:

>But read articles every once in a while on best practices so you aren't learning the "wrong" way to do things.

>The big drawback is that there are a lot of Google results that are outdated, novice, or flat-out wrong.

>My general advice: consult official docs whenever possible

After you read the official docs, and decide you actually want to use a library for something that's not trivial, one-off, or throw-away, it will benefit you to actually read the source code itself, which is by definition not out-of-date and incomplete, like so many of the articles about the library you can find by googling and reading stack overflow.

In my book, hacking away at using a library until it does what you want involves reading the source code in the developer tools by setting breakpoints and browsing the call stack, function definitions, local variables, and data structures, while the code is alive and running.

Once you've done that, it's a lot more interesting and easier to then read the entire source code on github front to back, to learn the library well, because you will have a lot more context about how it's actually used and fits together, its dynamic runtime behavior, and the shape and texture of its objects and data structures.
If you read my comments you'll see what I said, which is that such percentages are misleading. Not sure what's causing your newfound silliness.
There are more and more libraries that let you to write SQL and bind the results into native records (objects, structs) in the host language. I find it an interesting middle ground
You need lighter, more energy dense batteries that can charge faster.

You get all of that with Graphene. It’s just a question of cost. I’m honestly shocked that they haven’t put them in the top end Tesla’s yet to showcase the technology.
I think you’re missing the point and just want to stand tall on the “China’s(CCP) not so bad!” opinion you are so dearly, devoted to.

> The performance of pretty much every PHEV I've seen is abysmal. The people buying a Model 3 or Model S to replace their BMW or Mercedes aren't interested in something with the performance of a geo metro.

How many people take their cars to race tracks to be able to tell the difference in performance? If it can get to 70 mph in some reasonable time, which almost any production car can, then what more is there to ask for on a public road?
What about places that require massive amount of cooling in the summer
> It's not too difficult to imagine freight traveling on streetcar rails

So? What do you mean, what is your conclusion from that?

You wrote that «we don't need ... cars». I wrote that you don't "need" (much) heating either, relevantly to impact, but the impact on quality of life can be massive. Try performing intellectual (reduced motion, in general) activities in the cold. Try buying groceries without a car when living in a very low density, non urbanized area. Maybe you don't care about the advantages of a car: to others they are vital.

> The car is simply not as viable without proper infrastructure and implicit subsidies

So? What do you mean?

You dismissed the car as expendable, I noted that it has been called an historical revolution with a massive impact in the quality of one's life, for good.

It's amazing how helpful it can be to have a sounding board. This is a very nice gesture.

Our Pacifica plug-in hybrid minivan is fantastic. We go months without refueling.
I think I am not very clear on how ‘reverse logic’ is being defined here, but it may not matter. The problem is that real life is much more complex than these simplistic mental models we describe when we talk to each other. People’s needs, desires, and values are not interchangeable. While that one person who drives less could drive a gas car, maybe they prefer the convenience of charging at home. Likewise, the person who drives a lot may require the convenience of filling up gas in five minutes, or maybe they are doing longer trips or carry cargo/passengers (amplifying range anxiety).

As for the notion of reversing queues - this doesn’t make sense to me, but maybe I am missing something. People who join a queue earlier are signaling a price, in effect. Overriding that is creating an inefficiency in a sense, and is an imposition of someone else’s valuations in place of individual people’s valuations. Apart from that, the methods mentioned here simply feel a bit antagonistic rather than cooperative. I don’t think sustainable societies are built on those types of adversarial tactics.

What some use to do is put a 1-800 on a 1-900 number. By calling a 1-800 number you could connect to a sexline for free. We had so much as kids calling and making fun of the operators.

A few years back I got a tv for Christmas. Christmas night I setup it up and it scans the cable channels available. Next day I notice some channels with fractions like 88.2 were programmed but the screen was blank. I rescanned and discovered new channels at different freq and they were playing really new movies. I watched a movie and when it finished there wasn't any content. I rescanned often and new movies would popup during the night. Then sex movies started to show up. I realized whatever anyone ordered via ondemand in my building was being broadcast and my tv could pick it up. If someone paused the movie I would have to wait. Mornings were a mix of cartoons and fast-forwarded porns. Day was mostly cartoon. Evenings were when people would order the hit movies.

Interesting things are constantly happening no matter what era you are in.
This is "at most once", not "exactly once". You aren't guaranteeing things will process or even reach the server.
I like how clean this guide is. Are there any similar guides for Python as a quick reference?
Christmas is literally a festival in the middle of winter with Turkey and family and lights and trees and a jolly fat man and presents and cheesy music and films we’ve watched a dozen times, nothing to do with religion.

Your mileage may vary, and if it does involve religion good for you, but for millions it doesn’t, but it’s still the most wonderful time of the year.
> Under the Landsburg system, the stalls still serve one seasonal treat a minute, but the queues are short. Alas, the Landsburg rule can only be imposed in controlled environments such as a theme park, perhaps.

Poor example. This would annoy the hell out of customers. Theme parks also almost always have excess demands for rides. This system would only work at a failing theme park that couldn't fill up the ride to capacity.

I could imagine this working with decentralized robots performing similar tasks independently, but usually a system that uses robots would be centralized.

Had a truly terrible LSD trip a while ago, took a couple weeks to shake off and I never really felt "the same" afterwards. I'm not here to spread FUD, but goddamn is it a powerful chemical. Some people (myself included) underestimate the amount of mental rewiring it can do if you're not careful.
There are no usernames, only tags, of which modleader is one (and multiple users can have it). Only mods can edit tags, so you can think of them somewhat like flairs on reddit.
I’ve jumped around a bit, I’ve done many different tech roles in end user companies (client side).

I’ve found I love three things - designing tech solutions but only what I’m passionate about, business (non-tech: finance, risk mgmt, commercial etc) and am passionate about empowering people rather than fleecing them (in a b2c context).

I’m happy with what I’m currently doing as I’m working in the business space now but ultimately think my place would be bootstrapping a user enabling solution and I’m in the early stages of making a side project to hopefully achieve that.
But if you treat it like a single entity, that means you also treat all the people working there like that entity. The janitor working at Microsoft doesn't deserve your ire, nor the secretaries, etc. But they work there, and carry around their logos on their backpacks and what not. Those people have feelings, and those feelings feel bad when the entity they work for is lashed out at. It does make one feel bad when one's company is raked over the coals, because it makes one feel responsible, even if one doesn't even know what's going on.

So, for the sake of the feelings of the innocent people who work there, I would ask everyone to please modulate the volume and intensity of ire that they project. Please speak truth to power, but don't be harsher than is needed to get your point across.
I personally find Sowell's extemporaneous political commentary off-putting, much in the same way I find Paul Krugman's. If I were commenting on Paul Krugman's work I would make the same disclaimer.
This is a pre-war building, so I have no idea what the fire code was like when it was built. That said, this fire was indeed contained to only the apartment where it started and I think one or two adjacent apartments.
This was a terrible decision, it causes so many functions to have different arguments to handle both data structures. It also slower performance wise
They can, but why does anyone think that they actually would, without an absolutely massive contract from NASA? It would be a total departure from what they are currently working on, and would basically be a one off mission. There is no reason to think they would want to do this.
Hmm, I worry about the doses listed. 1.6g of potent caps will get you right fucked. If you haven't done them before and are planning on having a couple drinks and socializing etc I recommend no more than 0.5g (for at least 1.5hrs) then re-access from there.
Chesterton's fence is hard to apply in a vacuum, especially for subjective matters. Got any clues as to where to start?

If not, this is just like when business people talk about "scalable" in meetings. Means nothing without more info.
>And kulaks had it coming, even my great-granddad. Destroying food during a famine is inhuman.

Don't take people's property by force and not expect them to fight back. And especially don't use their fighting back as an excuse to oppress and slaughter them, that's what's truly inhuman. And the famine was caused by collectivization policies in the first place, you're just blameshifting your failed policies onto the victims of it.
A single such request (as outlined by the article) gives you "at most once". But retrying the request until you you get a successful response gives you "exactly once". If I may quote the first paragraph:

> Achieving suppression together with client retries establishes exactly-once request processing semantics in the system.
> The real issue is the chipsets; because of cost they spend essentially nothing on firmware. You can add your own controller to manage the issue but that adds to the BOM and requires finding a programmer who can handle embedded AND is willing to write a very policy, but that adds cost too.

Thanks, that sounds plausible to me, although it's a shame, because it'd make such chargers so much better.

> I agree it’s not that hard, though figuring out a policy that won’t annoy people is hard (I’d implement of sorting devices by what they ask for, then go from high to low doing your best to satisfy them, with nobody getting less than the USB 2.1 baseline, though I know that would piss some people off).

I mean right now there is already such a policy: Each device can only get as much as the port is rated for depending on how many and which ports are occupied. They could just leave the numbers as they are and label them as "minimum power provided by the port". If a device requires less power they can provide this surplus power to devices which request more, if the port is capable to handle that.
Brief periods of theoretical breakeven have been achieved before...Source? I'm not aware of any reactor that has done that.

Not in a plasma reactor, yet. The laser Nuclear Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore Labs claimed "scientific breakeven" back in 2014.[1] That's the setup where they have a huge building full of pulse lasers focused on one tiny target.

This is breakeven for a very weak definition of breakeven: “thermonuclear energy out” > “energy absorbed by the fuel capsule”. Not "> energy required to run the lasers." That's for a very brief period, nanoseconds. It's taken Lawrence Livermore 45 years of zapping tiny targets with big lasers to get to this point.

This was being touted as a potential approach to fusion energy back in the 1970s. It's not, really. It's mostly a way to study bomb-type fusion without setting off H-bombs. It's now part of "stockpile stewardship", keeping some people working on fusion to prevent forgetting how to make H-bombs.

Various environmentalists have tried this in the US. Here's a reason article about several attempts: https://reason.com/2019/11/18/why-dont-environmentalists-jus...
Kind of frustrating the OP's article doesn't actually do any research on why it's hard to actually do this "clever" idea. There is an actual power structure that is opposed to these sorts of actions!

In general in the US it's very difficult to do this on state/federal land. You usually must make use of your rights or the leases will be revoked. Even when there is a state like Idaho where you can buy grazing rights and supposedly not use them, the state bureaucracy isn't interested in it.

I guess you could do this with coal rights but the coal markets have been so bad for the last decade it's hard to see this as worth doing.

If you are already up to speed with many programming languages then getting into Ruby shouldn't be that hard.

Some syntax is a bit quirky (blocks in particular) but if you are solid in OOP then you soon see the beauty of the core class setup.

The primary difference to Python is that everything really is a method call on a object (even if that object is a class).

To master Ruby I would start with toy problems such as Advent of Code.

For me it is the opposite, LSD is the safe one, shrooms being more difficult - I suspect this is caused by LSD additionaly being a dopamine receptor agonist, which is better for my brain (I also like hippie/candyflips for the same reason I suspect).
That's what he is saying, yes. It's a dangerous thing to think because we do not understand if there is actually some hidden purpose to the genes that modulate autistic behavior, same with depression.

It's a strange thing to bring up after assortative mating, really. If it comes up in assortative mating it implies there is a reason for the genes to be there.

One example: In various experiments related to resource exhaustion, antisocial and/or "autistic" mice were the ones to survive the collapse of mouse society as they were more likely to not be involved over resource squabbles.

Of course, there are some people who are very autistic who do not have very happy lives, and some people who are just kind of autistic.
