Yup, this is a big reason why I said "in most cases" and not "in all cases". When your trains have to go underground and underwater and your highways go over roads and over bridges, that dramatically changes the numbers. Of course, none of those are a requirement of rail systems - just how the BART is built. There are plenty of trains that go over roads (e.g. the L in Chicago) or over bridges over water.

By the way, even BART could increase throughput today without adding more lines. Not all trains are 10-car trains, because they don't have enough cars in the fleet. Adding more cars to their trains is a significantly cheaper prospect than adding a new lane to the Bay Bridge (which was also basically fully maxed out on throughput during peak traffic times, pre-COVID). And BART carries substantially more people across the Bay than the Bay Bridge does.

So, certainly the BART needs more capacity, both now and in the future - but so do the highways.
It's worse than that. I don't trust me. You shouldn't either. I need the review.
Because then you don't know if something that supports GET supports the new broader definition or the old definition, whereas if does or does not support QUERY is more clear.

Also because a different method means OPTIONS tells you information about what is supported, while overloading GET would not.

And because “same guarantees” doesn't mean “means the same thing”; PUT and DELETE have the same guarantees (idempotent but not safe), but we don't use PUT with no body for DELETE.
> I've met bucket loads of people addicted to living in the unreality of psychedelics.

Same here. I used to be good friends with one person in particular who couldn't go more than a couple days without using psilocybin or LSD to change their reality. That's when we drifted paths. But, I heard a year ago that he had switched to heroin and died due to a fentanyl overdose. Getting addicted to altering your perception of reality is dangerous.

ICOs absolutely ruin the concept of a venture-backed business.

By providing liquidity on day 1, you release onto an uninformed populace a token with zero intrinsic value. At that point, your goal is not to build a business but rather to market your token - as that is where your compensation comes from. Your compensation isn't tied to any value you create in the business whatsoever - as it would be when trying to raise from VCs - but instead how much hype you can generate.

Now that your blue-sky security (your token) is your product, any money you spend trying to build a business puts you at a disadvantage relative to competitors who do not. Growth isn't even reflected in the token itself since tokens are not equity. It's not even an advantage to token holders for token issuers to try and build a business haha.

That's why in the last 14 years not a single ICO or token-first business has been successful in creating a business.

It is counterproductive to an ICO to actually try and build something under it, for everyone invovled.
Ok, but many companies don't use such ridiculous process.

I ran a similar calculation for my Spark EV with 14 kWh capacity remaining. I can run my router and two wifi APs for around 15 days (at least) if needed.

(Of course, if there's no power for 15 days there are likely bigger problems than internet access.)

Yeah MDMA is addictive, not very but it is. You can use 2cb and speed quite frequently. I know about that. But with shrooms taking a dose the next day or two hardly works at all, there is extreme short term tolerance. Trying to do it frequently was not pleasant in my experience, you just dont have a magical or interesting trip.

You’re reading something into my comment that isn’t there, indeed it’s the opposite of what I wrote.

The point is that people keep offering you suggestions because you seem to be saying there is a problem.

You’re obviously wrong that the problem can’t be solved since lots of people have solved it. That isn’t a matter of your experience not matching others.

What we are left with is that you are simply making a choice based on your own priorities and preferences.

I genuinely think that if this is true, you would be better off simply being happy with your choice. That sentiment is about respecting what is true for you and wishing you well.

I imagine there are a lot of people who have similar priorities to you and are just fine with that.

BATS is

1) bloated

2) doesn't use a very nice syntax (hint: bashisms are not a very nice syntax). Compare BATS assertions with this for example (the test of my test library, which uses the library's own functions): https://github.com/pmarreck/tinytestlib/blob/yolo/test Call me crazy but I think `assert_equal "4" "$result"` is a lot more readable than `[ "$result" -eq 4 ]`

3) doesn't let you assert on all of (return code, stdout, stderr) from running a single command. I created a `capture` function to do that and bring those all into named variables that you can then assert on.

But overall I wanted something tiny that you could easily include alongside a bash script instead of establishing as a new dependency you'd have to install separately. Honestly, I feel that functions like assert_equal, assert_not_equal, assert_success, assert_failure, assert_match and assert_no_match (which all raise on failure) should be built into every programming language's standard library.

I know that you can sort of get by just using `set -e` and just do a comparison operation, but...
I'm confused by this statement. I agree Matrix Resurrections is worth watching, it's quite good. But I'm also a fan of the other 4 films (Matrix, Reloaded, Revelations, Animatrix). Many people I've talked about the films with agree.

Personally, I found Revelations to be some what weaker than the rest, but they all form a pretty compelling and enjoyable series.

I dunno, the name sounds appropriate to me.
Right. But that's just it. "musicPart" is an object. A noun. What the hell is a "Music Part"? It's a completely synthetic object you've had to create solely to namespace functions. It's like how so many large Java projects have static "Utils" classes.

What you've done is not OO; in fact, it's an anti-pattern in OO. You've created, as you correctly note, a namespace or module around static functions; there is no meaningful encapsulation of data.

My point isn't that it can't be done, it's that trying to follow best OO practices, you run into this sort of problem (which has had a lot of digital ink spilled on it). The fact there is a pragmatic solution isn't in any doubt; it's that such a solution intentionally eschews the data encapsulation that OO demands (but not imperative or functional approaches, which instead say it's the right approach to do that).

Most modern crypto projects are paying massively for users and attention - like UBER in the early days. But OpenSea is just pure cash cow - eighty million a month in revenue, off minimal expenses and no advertising. Regardless of whatever succeeds in the NFT ecosystem, they benenfit.

Lots of other projects have played me-too, or tried to surf the waves and trends in crypto. OpenSea has just been doing their own simple narrow vision thing, regardless of markets going up or down, or NFT's falling completely off the radar for a long time. The site is simple, easy to understand, and has mind boggling network effects.

They probably have the most enviable position right now in crypto-space, right next to Coinbase. Good to be them, and here's to them not screwing it up in the future by throwing money to fix things that aren't broken.

> I hate to break this to you, but mysticism and spirituality isn't grounded in reality no matter what.

Who among us determines what "reality" is and is not? Science is quite excellent at measuring the materialistic subset of it, but when one gets into the subjective, phenomenological aspects of it (including complex matters like causality, human psychology, emergence, etc), science is not much help (and is even a hindrance to some degree I'd say, since a lot of people (but not all) seem to believe that science is the only lens through which reality can be viewed, and that it sees all of reality, or that which it does not see is irrelevant).
The Antikythera mechanism gives me nightmares. Just as the suggestion that a lack of transmissions from intelligent life means the existence of a great filter. The Antikythera mechanism is a strong indicator of technological regression in human beings.

Perhaps more terrifying is the fact that it is not the first time we've regressed or collapsed. The mysterious Late Bronze Age Collapse is another example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late_Bronze_Age_collapse Or, the Classic Maya civilization collapse, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic_Maya_collapse

It is inconceivable for us to imagine a rapid regression today. Our civilization seems invincible, the knowledge seems to be too widespread. But most of our knowledge is brittle. If you were to send a time capsule forward with the recipes to remake our modern world, including eUV technology. How would you do it? (using extant literature)

Research papers require years of study and background knowledge to fully understand and they fully fail to capture the science involved. Patents are even more inscrutable. We couldn't send our CAD drawings and specifications forward either, because they require specialized knowledge as well. After all, how would they build an iPhone if they don't know how to make screws or glue? Or, the multi-layer PCBs etc.

Another renaissance to recreate our civilization from our published work would be nearly impossible. Or, take centuries to accomplish.

It may be fruitful to imagine ways to fit civilization into a box that can last tens of thousands of years, so that future generations can find it —— post apocalyptic tragedy —— and rapidly recreate our world.
I would argue that opening the doors of perception in and of itself can be a detrimental side effect. They don't close. Live without the delusion. forever.

Both are worth it. Its always worth it.

So in essence, if you're stuck for a day you're going to be screwed regardless, except for some edge cases like a large full tank and an ICE that doesn't consume a lot of fuel when idle, or a heat pump driven EV with a full charge in a decently sized pack.

There will always be older or less efficient cars, smaller gas tanks, smaller battery packs, resistive heaters, and people not rationing the energy available to them.

> I definitely think Psilocybin gave me negative long term effects.

I think it's extremely bizarre that the public narrative has become that psilocybin will:

1) Create an openness to new ideas and flood you with different thoughts and feelings

2) Only create positive changes, thoughts, and feelings.

There's a big push in online comment sections to deny, downplay, or otherwise dismiss negative experiences. Psychedelic enthusiasts will come out of the woodwork and try to argue away any anecdotes that aren't purely positive, blaming them on everything from vague underlying mental health conditions to a misuse of the drugs. But it's almost always victim-blaming.

I'm glad you were able to process your experience and undo the unhealthy changes. Thanks for helping spread awareness that psychedelic-induced changes aren't automatically good or positive.
A lot of sibling comments here questioning the parent comment's definition of detrimental. Psychedelic drugs can absolutely have a permanent detrimental effect on people.

There is a difference between a positive emotional experience and a warped "revelation" that gives somebody the impression that they're privy to some universal truth or meaning. If the latter happens enough, the results range from the person being pretty fundamentally changed (less like depressed vs. not depressed, more like somebody is wearing a skinsuit of somebody you used to know) to them being almost completely fried/detached from reality. These people may be happy in their own reality, but it's very painful to watch it happen to them.

Headlines like this article's are best left unsaid. A single (or rarely administered) 10-25mg dose in a highly controlled environment may be reasonably safe, and the headline may be true in the strictest sense, but it's going to work out about as well as the "marijuana is not addictive" line of thinking has.
Java could have been a good example, but Sun had a rather strict validation process for calling something Java.

Furthermore, there are big difference in philosophy with C:

1. IB and UB are not considered normal parts of specifications, meaning there's way less opportunity for originality in the interpretation of the specifications

2. there tends to be an ur-implementation, and notable divergences from that tends to be interpreted as either a bug in the other implementation(s) or a lack of specification to be resolved between all implementations

Rust only has UB in unsafe (AFAIK), which greatly limits implementation flexibility in terms of observable behaviour; and the reference implementation would very much be considered the reference implementation, so I expect e.g. rust-gcc will be sticking close to the reference implementation and behavioural divergence will either be fixed to match, or will lead to more precise specification and both implementations converging.

Probably eventually with, if not a Sun-style validation suite, a Ruby-style Spec Suite (https://github.com/ruby/spec).
I've checked the code under the hood of SDL and it does pretty much the best you can do for fast uploads of an image from the CPU to the GPU.

My CPU-based ray tracer uses the code I linked. SDL_LockTexture, go wide with threads writing into the locked buffer, SDL_UnlockTexture. If I skip the actual ray tracing, I get 1400 FPS uploading a 1024x1024 image.
Gosh. Judging by the articles that come up so frequently, HN seems to want...

- Universal Basic Income

- Psychedelic Drugs

- Suicide Pods

And I can't help but feel all three of these are intricately tied together. UBI to pursue legal hedonism, and a "painless" exit when the drugs don't do it anymore.

I don't think anyone who advocates for these things explicitly wants such a nihilistic view of life. They want the freedom to create unbridled, and an end to poverty, hunger, mental anguish, and suffering -- but that isn't the outcome they will get.

Preliminary clinical research shows that it can help with depression and drug addiction, among other ailments.

Anecdotal benefits I've experienced (as a typically healthy person):

- Improved mood for a least a couple months (happier, more awake/aware, calmer, less fatigue, more motivated)

- Reduced feelings of stress and anxiety

- Increased empathy for others

- Increased self-awareness, in particular of bad habits. This in turn helps me improve my diet as well as keep good physical/mental exercise habits.

- Increased creativity and openness to new ideas.
> But pretending there is zero detrimental effects is wishful thinking and will lead to people abusing the thing, believing it's just funny candy, and they may end up damaged.

I think you're mostly reacting to the framing of this headline, which isn't accurately stating the finding of the study.

It would be more accurate to say the study "did not find any short or long term negative effects" which is not the same as a positive assertion that such effects do not exist. This is a similar level of safety as you might find with aspirin or acetaminophen - both of which could be fairly described as not having short or long term negative effects and which can have serious health consequences if used incorrectly [edit: I said "if abused" which is the wrong way to put it].

> There is no such thing as a free lunch. Powerful products have powerful effects, and this means some harm can exist.

There's nothing in this study that contradicts this idea - because studies like this don't claim to detect every form of harm. Instead, they look for particular forms of relatively objective harm. Another example to consider would be SSRIs: they tend to increase suicide attempts when patients start taking them. That's the kind of harm this study would find! But - even if a patient doesn't experience suicidal ideation - no doctor would suggest that it logically follows that patient should certainly go on SSRIs. The choice is always more complex than that.
Sure, from the same search, filtered by date:

> Flawed drug awareness campaigns of the 1990s claimed that cannabis could be psychologically addictive but not physically addictive like other drugs. However, cannabis does predictably cause physical dependence—the hallmarks of which are tolerance and withdrawal—and heavy users may have great difficulty in attempting to reduce or end their use, leading to compulsive, continued use and related consequences
