You think that peace and love is detrimental? I assert we could use more of it.

Note, I wouldn't say that such peace and love is blind--people are still very much grounded in reality--but the ability for compassion and empathy is increased. Perhaps you see compassion as a weakness?
Correct, yes.
I think that's the point.

Isn't the high level plan for this treatment: 1)The psilocybin breaks down the patients ego and 2) the psycho therapist molds it hopefully for the better?

"people who have done a lot of mushrooms..." In my experience those people also take just about anything. How could one say it was the psilocybin
It says

It really does depend upon what strain and type you're talking about.

There's a fundamental world of difference between a gram of dried Cyanescens and a gram of fresh Cubensis, for instance.
In my experience, code reviews promote trust. They make changes a collaboration and a conversation, where reviewers and implementor(s) bring different intuitions and concerns, and help expand understanding of risks and goals. Sure, a lot of that can happen before any code is written, but it’s inherently more abstract.

Code reviews aren’t just about code, and probably shouldn’t be framed that way.

The Aztecs were very fond of mushrooms but definitely not hippies. You’re describing a mimetic cultural phenomenon facilitated by the neuroplasticity the drug confers.
No comments on emergency situations, but wanted to call out one thing:

> You need additional highways (aka: additional offramps) to truly scale day-to-day traffic

Additional highways are at-best a stop-gap for day-to-day traffic, never a solution, due to induced demand [1]. You really need large-scale investments in public transportation for this.

Yeah obviously offense is derived in part from intent as well as historical and current cultural usage. I don't think anyone is shouting "damned Jerry!" while spitting at Germans in the street though. There are plenty of words in the world that are used that way, that we should be concerned about and avoid using (and criticise/educate others for using, depending on usage). At the end of the day it all comes back to "don't abuse people".
As described no. But I think it can affect ones attachment to reality.

It's not going to affect you like smoking cigarettes, or how drinking can hit the liver. But it definitely has some effect on ones thinking. Is this detrimental? I think that's a more subjective question.

Personally though, I consider Psychedelics to be pretty safe unless one starts playing games with high frequency usage, or high dosage. There are also outliers, for example Brian Wilson ended up having a pretty bad time with LSD.
Purely anecdotal. Have you controlled for the correlation between those personality traits and the wish to explore drugs like psilocybin?
Agreed. It would be a terrible crime to market a substance that causes permanent personality shifts in a direction not necessarily wanted as a "magic cure" for depression, anxiety, and whatever other manifestation of unpleasantness in life. And that's exactly what we're doing now.

Lobotomy was marketed as a magic cure for all sorts of psychological problems too. There is no free lunch. There's no quick and easy way to "fix" someone.
very good point, I was more talking about the cause of death being a defect
Is that necessarily true? I think it's common to speak highly of talented individuals as being blessed with "raw intelligence" and the like. The more unseemly thing is to characterize entire groups of individuals with that.
Yeah, working on the paper put a real stop to the work, but it seems to be back up and running again.

If you tell someone "this pill will cure your depression" without telling him "by turning you into a hippie", you're doing him a disservice. The zeitgeist right now is that psychedelics cure a broad range of mental illnesses without any downsides whatsoever. That's far, far from true.

It's my right not to be turned into a hippie.
I always thought it was neat that the three main competitors in use then were Beryl, Aqua, and Aero - solid, liquid, and gas. Not sure if that was intentional or not.
> Snow actually didn't use to happen in those places. Not in this way. That's why the word "change" is in "climate change".

Grew up in DC, this is wrong. Large snowfall happens irregularly, but it absolutely happens.

The 2009-10 Nor'easters had substantially more snow than this.

See the charts here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2021/01/14/washington...
Does climate change also explain the larger storms in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries?

https://www.novec.com/About_NOVEC/Virginias-Historic-Snowsto...
Agreed, being stuck on a train in a winter storm is far far less terrifying to me than being stuck in a small car, running out of gas (or battery charge), without water or food or access to bathrooms.
Especially because a HUGE benefit of code reviews is exposure and knowledge transfer. For us it's a key area where anyone can get insight into the how and why, plus control their participation from requester/reviewer to passive observer. It's actually a pretty poor place to catch bugs introduced by new, junior devs.

This is a great way to end up in a situation where you have to re-write entire modules whenever you need to update old code... which is kinda where our teams tend to end up anyway so I guess it's not _that_ awful?
The good news is that competition is much easier in the search market than in the cable TV market (since it's hard to run a new cable into everyone's house).

If comparatively tiny operations like DuckDuckGo or Brave can launch decent search engines, I think there's hope of reducing Google's dominant position in the market.
Why don't you give any examples of these queries? There's no point in comparing to say, 2008 Google, there are many of orders of magnitudes more sites. You can't expect old algorithms to keep up. The main thing that matters is how long it takes to find what you're looking for.

Can't say I really get your point. You're willing to complain and go on this long tirade, but not to give a single query example? The one you gave in your original post was already debunked easily enough. You're saying these things as if they are a fact - I disagree with you, it is in dispute. If we're going to just take random claims are facts, then I'll say Google's results are better than ever.

Google's market share isn't really relevant. It's very easy to just use Bing or any other search engine. I actually use Bing half of the time since it offers rewards.
Is your goal actually to burn calories or to lose weight? If it is to lose weight, focusing more on your eating habits is probably higher value than exercise. Exercise is good for feeling better and burning some calories, but it's probably easier to not eat 1000 extra calories than it is to consistently burn that many calories without giving up. Also for me exercise makes me feel good and want to reinforce my hard work by eating decently, so I think diet and exercise are both important. If you are only focusing on exercise, you might end up being hungrier because of the calories you are burning and end up eating more calories than you would have doing less exercise.
Worth mentioning, that they actually have the blacklist feature for domains that google removed years ago.

He could have used gcc on different platforms too. He writes:

"the platonic ideal portable C exists only as a hypothetical construct in the C standard. The C that exists in the real world is whatever Microsoft, Apple, and others have shipped. That C is a mess"

I.e. his problem could have been solved by sticking to one compiler, be it Rust or Clang ...

If something hit production and caused a major fuck-up because there was no peer review process, then in all the places I've worked at the first action item in the post-mortem would be "we should introduce peer review." Otherwise someone would ask how we could ensure it wouldn't happen again, and no one would be able to say "because we trust them," and leave it at that. It would sound more like "I trust you will never make that mistake again," which sounds more like a threat. You also can't go to your clients and say "sorry, we let our team deploy stuff without reviewing because we trust them... so please continue to deal with our avoidable problems."

Thing is, I've lead my fair share of teams and I trust my team-mates and colleagues implicitly. It makes for a strong team. But we still do code review (peer review) because we want to build software that works well and support each other. We're not in the job to simply deploy code to prod as quickly as possible.

I'd also add that I think any software engineer should try and have the experience of working in a highly regulated field, like healthcare. It's hard to get an appreciation for why these things exist until you realise you're held to a much higher level of accountability because your oopsie moments can have much larger consequences. For me, it's been hard to go back to my old, cavalier attitude after that.
I'm a fan of Psilocybin but anyone who has been around for awhile in a psychedelic culture like my home town knows people who did too many mushrooms. LSD is a thing in itself: acid casualties are a real thing.
A lot of springs with preload force enough to fatally injure, not a problem?

While I'll agree those are important for usability, I'm not sure they're necessary for adoption. Windows 10 uses a mix of UIs ranging from win32 windows 95 legacy to MAUI and most popular programs implement their own UI frameworks and it's doing ok.

I think they must have meant the unvoiced "th" from "thing" not the voiced "th from "the". I've only ever heard "Anþony". I can't imagine any native English speaker saying "Anðony" unless they're drunk or otherwise slurring their speech significantly.
Dosage guides for dried shrooms are already universal in recommendation of dosage typically speaking in terms of grams without bringing up the individual strain. This leads me to believe that a generally close conversion should be reasonable from the dried natural to that MG number.
I agree, but you can generally differentiate these cases and handle them appropriately.

If someone is burnt out, the attitude is typically the tell regardless of care. It's deliberately sloppy.

One of the best engineers I ever worked with had dyslexia and by God if his class names weren't the funniest things I've ever seen, but they were consistent and the structure and documentation was thoughtful.
> Thankfully, you don't need to reinvent the wheel, the problem of cross platform multiprocessing in C has been solved at least a dozen times by now. It should be trivial to use one of these many options (or even write your own, even if you don't like the idea of "reinventing the wheel" it's certainly not particularly difficult either and can likely be lighter than any other more general option).

This is basically the issue he's complaining about. The author wants to reuse a wheel, but reusing the wheel in C is difficult. What are your options?

* OpenMP: Great, now you get the fun of figuring out how to cross-platform(/compiler) enable openmp in your build system (that you have to maintain yourself because there is no standard build system. Of course, you could also go with cmake or autotools to maintain the build system for you, but now you have similar issues with meta-build system stuff. Yay platform diversity!)

* Okay, let's use another library instead. Now you just have to have the user tell you where it's located. And maybe have to provide lengthy instructions on how to find it. Or you can try having the build system automatically download it on the fly. There's a lot of potential error messages you have to deal with, just to get at what ought to be a core feature of any modern programming language.

* Maybe you might want to vendor that library in your source tree, just to be sure you always have it. Now you get the fun of having your build system invoke another build system as a subproject.

* Screw other dependencies, let's just use a newer C standard version, since it is in C11. How do you get your C compiler to compile for C11? Oh wait, that's basically the same world of pain as it is to try to use OpenMP.

> Hardly any more dreadful than rust's solution to the problem.

Contrast this with Rust's solution.

* Your build system is cargo and you specify things primarily with Cargo.toml. This is as little work as the happiest happy paths of C/C++ build systems. And note you don't really choose build system; there is one ecosystem-approved build system--for C/C++, you have at the very least hand-rolled makefiles, IDE solutions, cmake, and autotools as major candidates, and many major projects very happily choose "none of the above" (with all the pain that entails).

* If you want to add a dependency in cargo, you add a line in Cargo.toml. That's it; you're done. For the aforementioned C/C++ build systems, even the happiest happy paths aren't that happy.

This isn't to say that Rust's solution is perfect (it has a fair amount of warts), but to assert that Rust is no better than C is an indication to me that you've never really had to actually support the build system of a project before.
Number of cores is just another metric to optimize for. What counts in the end is whether it can efficiently and quickly deal with the load it is expected to handle.

Many cores are great for mostly independent tasks, but performance will suffer as soon as communication is required. Making chip architectures more distributed seems to be the state of the art at the moment, but this doesn't mean we will suddenly be able to escape Amdahl's Law. To be specific, for inherently serial applications where we are absolutely interested in getting the result ASAP, single-thread performance remains crucial.
I'm not sure about the present tense here; a conditional would fit better.

Linus Torvalds talk on Google about how GIT is more a way of working then a piece of software. Everybody commits upwards in a tree of trust. If you do it this way you get automatic code reviews and in any team someone should be responsible for the "product" anyway and highest up in the hierarchy.
> But not all of them are populated; therefore only a finite number are.

Isn't this a leap in logic? Not all subsets of an infinite set are finite.
I'm not an expert in any way. But my understanding is that they did/do test on a lot of different axes. But what they found was that people tend to have strong correlations between those scores. As in: if you are good at one, you are good at others. Not exactly as good, of course. But a strong correlation. So that's how they arrived at using a "single number".
I was northbound yesterday and it was insane. Cars backed up 59 miles or more.
I think the downvotes are because you are making a very low effort criticism (even with your clarification). If you expand a bit on why it sounds "narrative-fallacy" to you, you might get more traction.
"As a general rule, the crime is done when the scheme is hatched and an attendant mailing or interstate phone call or email has occurred. Thus, the statutes are said to condemn a scheme to defraud regardless of its success.34 It is not uncommon for the courts to declare that to demonstrate a scheme to defraud the government needs to show that the defendants communications were reasonably calculated to deceive persons of ordinary prudence and comprehension.35 Even a casual reading, however, might suggest that the statutes also cover a scheme specifically designed to deceive a nave victim.36 Nevertheless, the courts have long acknowledged the possibility of a puffing defense, and there may be some question whether the statutes reach those schemes designed to deceive the gullible though they could not ensnare the reasonably prudent.37 In any event, the question may be more clearly presented in the context of the defendants intent and the materiality of the deception.38"

"In any event, the question may be more clearly presented in the context of the defendant's intent and the materiality of the deception."

Whether a patient expected that results might be inaccurate, or even whether a "reasonably prudent" person would have expected results might be inaccurate, is not necessarily a defence to wire fraud. Even if such a defence were asserted, the focus would still be on Holmes, her conduct and her intent, not the patient.
This could be really helpful for students learning how to read and write code! One suggestion: the code in the live demo is pretty hard to read since it is not monospaced and indented correctly (for example, the Python code won't compile.)

1. Let's separate the idea of code review from the GitHub Pull Request feature. They are often coupled, but they don't need to be. You could easily have a policy and a workflow that requires reviews, but doesn't care whether they happen before or after a merge. I'm pretty sure this is how things work at Etsy, and I know there to be a diversity of code review practices more broadly in high-performing engineering organizations.

2. Of course code reviews don't catch all bugs. This is the same argument that is frequently used to reject static type systems and memory safety. The purpose of code review is to ensure that more bugs are caught, the kinds of bugs that can be caught through code review. It also helps ensure that a high level of code quality is maintained, and that at least two people understand how a change works, which is good for team cohesion and resilience.
He basically described the classic subversion workflow using git. I feel like people rediscover subpar approaches using technologies which intended to evolve those approaches into a better workflow
Absolutely not. This is a recipe for disaster and a terrible example to set for any upcoming engineers that haven’t had much industry experience yet.

Code reviews help me be more confident in my own work. Even if 90% of the time it’s fine, there’s always that 10% where a second pair of eyes catches a mistake or offers a suggestion that makes the code even better.
Wow, that is amazing! What portion of your investment was returned? You don't have to say the actual amounts if you don't want, but I'm curious about whether you got 1/10, 1/2, or all of your investment back.
