What's really surprising is how many people do know that margin collapse is a thing, but haven't fully understood all of the implications, so they still get mystified by some unintended consequence.

I don't think that "go read all the MDN docs" is a very useful suggestion. More useful is something like the following, which I don't think you will find anywhere in MDN:

When an element's top or bottom margin collapses with its parent,
this may affect the position of the parent, because the minimum of the child and parent's margin will be used to position the parent. (MDN says the child element's margin will fall "outside the parent", but it is not clear that it will be used during layout to place the parent.)

The bigger problem is that CSS is just so complicated and arbitrary. Consider the rule for collapsing margins with parents, from MDN:

> If there is no border, padding, inline part, block formatting context created, or clearance to separate the margin-top of a block from the margin-top of one or more of its descendant blocks; or no border, padding, inline content, height, or min-height to separate the margin-bottom of a block from the margin-bottom of one or more of its descendant blocks, then those margins collapse.

They list five different factors that prevent collapse, one of which ("block formatting context created") is a link to a page that defines it in terms of 15 different constructs or situations in CSS.

On top of that, it appears that the MDN text is in error, because it lists intervening "height" as something that prevents bottom margin collapse, but not top margin collapse (when in fact it does).
That sounds like a decision that is shaped by an immense number of socioeconomic and cultural factors rather than inherent intelligence.

I rode 100 miles on one two years ago, and planned to take it to the Burn but after my second fall I decided to sell it and get a Space Horse from All City.

I was padded up for both falls but still sustained a sprain to an ankle and some pretty mean scrapes to my shoulder and arm.

My worst fall was due to the motor cutting out on a moderate acceleration uphill climb from stop. This is not unusual on the OW but is normally associated with a lower battery level.

I was pretty good with it, but in the end I could justify the potential for falls once every 100 miles, let alone 50.

They are fun to ride, though.
I think it is trust in the trust and verify sense. Meaning, we trust each other to do our best but let us verify that we are all on the same page and aren't breaking things or doing something harmful.
I'd read the study conclusions again, in particular the dosages and circumstances:

> "Psilocybin, in 10mg or 25mg doses, has no short-term or long-term detrimental effects in healthy people... The research, published in The Journal of Psychopharmacology, is an essential first step in demonstrating the safety and feasibility of psilocybin – a psychedelic drug isolated from the Psilocybe mushroom – for use within controlled settings alongside talking therapy as a potential treatment for a range of mental health conditions, including treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and PTSD.'

Notice that very large doses were not studied, and the studies were conducted under controlled settings, with one-on-one support from a trained psychotherapist, in groups of up to six people simultaneously.

As the study was not flawed, then, under these conditions, psilocybin certainly seems like a safe and effective option for treatment.
This is cool and horrifying at the same time, just be very careful if you are trying such a thing.

We just had an initial support for VESC NRF/HM10 devices added into Gadgetbridge if this is of interest to anyone fascinated in this subject.

I think the key phrase here is "in healthy people" which ought to mean both physically and mentally healthy people. Now, of course, it becomes complicated. Especially if you are healthy but at-risk for certain conditions (say schizoaffective/schizophrenia). I have seen this compound work miracles, I have also seen it send some very close friends of mine off the deep end. Of course, those friends were always a little different, let's say.
Being first isn't everything, for instance Mac's "System" was not the first desktop GUI, but it was the most significant first for most users.

Similarly compiz was important for the world beyond MacOS, while being utterly useless it attracted the attention of lots of kids like myself while also producing useful side-effects in the Linux ecosystem, and no doubt pushing desktop's outside of Linux.

Compiz was indeed a pioneer, and also explored far more effects compared to MacOS X for better and worse - In fact I'm pretty sure Apple copied the 3D rotating desktop from compiz for a short time... not that it's a particularly imaginative effect, compiz just stumbled upon it first.

... so how about we stop being petty.
Ok fine I suppose in rare cases it is possible.
This cryptocurrency rant is offtopic. Would it make a difference if Norton would install something that shows ads?

As to your question - crypto is the new form of cash, different form every other forms we have known before. One exciting property is the relative independence from any particular economical or political system. Blockchain in general has potential to replace all middleman from lots of transactions. Think of property, fundraising, stocks, trade (especially overseas), etc. Specific implementations can be regulated by government(s), the point is to replace bookkeepers with machines.
It only takes a single but valid 'anecdote' to disprove a thesis as strong as 'Psilocybin has no short or long term detrimental effects'

There is no exception allowed for a statement like that.
It's inevitable because even though one variant may become dominant, there will still be isolated pockets of the other variants. It's very unlikely that these variants will be entirely eliminated across the whole globe. Look at the epidemiology of HIV and the spatial distribution of variants as a point of comparison. Likewise for other viruses. Even if these other variants continue to evolve from the initial root, they will still be phylogenetically distinct from the current omicron clustering, somewhere intermediate between the root and existing omicron cluster. If it's out there in the wild, it will be picked up by PCR eventually. If it's not out in the wild, that big gap will remain, and a lab somewhere has questions to answer...

The starting point for the omicron cluster would be an interesting bit of information, but it doesn't necessarily have any bearing on where the intermediate strains are located. But none of that matters. If it's out there, it will eventually be picked up by PCR. We can use phylogenetic analysis to retrospectively reconstruct the evolutionary tree of every organism we have sequenced to date. Doing it just for the coronavirus variants is not hard (I have done it in the past including bootstrapping). Whether it's a month, a year or a decade from now, we will be able to answer the question by reconstructing the tree.

This is really basic bioinformatic analysis, in routine use for over two decades. None of this stuff is remotely new or groundbreaking.

The other questions you are asking are not really relevant to the problem. The virus does not survive long outside a host; it has no bearing upon the problem at all. The same applies to inside the host. All variants will continue to infect and propagate themselves to varying degrees within the host populations. It's endemic at this point.

One other point to bear in mind is that the mutation rate of the polymerase is effectively a constant, in terms of mutations per n kilobases. So we would expect all variants to accumulate a certain number of mutations averaged over time--the sequence will not remain static since the virus has to continually be passaged through mammalian epithelial cells to maintain and propagate itself. There will be some variation, but if it's been frozen down and manually propagated, it may have a dramatically different number of mutations compared with the other contemporary strains that have spent most of their time in living hosts.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_use_disorder

Prolonged cannabis use produces both pharmacokinetic changes (how the drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted) and pharmacodynamic changes (how the drug interacts with target cells) to the body. These changes require the user to consume higher doses of the drug to achieve a common desirable effect (known as a higher tolerance), reinforcing the body's metabolic systems for eliminating the drug more efficiently and further down-regulating cannabinoid receptors in the brain.[7]

Cannabis users have shown decreased reactivity to dopamine, suggesting a possible link to a dampening of the reward system of the brain and an increase in negative emotion and addiction severity.[8]

(...)

Cannabis withdrawal symptoms occur in one-half of people in treatment for cannabis use disorders.[15] Symptoms may include dysphoria (anxiety, irritability, depression, restlessness), disturbed sleep, gastrointestinal symptoms, and decreased appetite. It is often paired with rhythmic movement disorder. Most symptoms begin during the first week of abstinence and resolve after a few weeks.
IIRC tolerance builds extremely quickly (after just one use) and is cross-tolerant with most other 5-HT2A agonists so I think tripping a week straight is not really possible.
Anecdotally:

It's a drug that sort of shakes up your mind. It lets you make all sorts of connections that you aren't going to sober, unless you spend a ton of time reflecting. At the end, you gain this incredible emotional clarity which helps you regulate your emotions. This is probably why it's being studied for use with depression and anxiety.

The best code I have seen was on projects without code review. And projects with it were more mess - they were surface consistent but overall hard to comprehend.

The deciding factor was ownership and accountability tho - you maintained own code and if you done it crappily, you knew.

The code review is related to assumption that everyone can change everything - meaning all in all inconsistent mess. It is also related to unfortunate assumption that code review is how people learn system. They don't, unless they are original author. The rest of then knows pieces of it only.
Windows Terminal has a neat shader thing that you can use to add things like noise and scanlines to your terminals.

As does gambling addiction. The chemicals being internally generated by a psychological process doesn’t mean there aren’t severe withdrawal effects. Panic attacks and depression can have severe physical side effects. That doesn’t make any of those things chemically addictive substances.

Maybe so. Maybe that version of myself would even approve of that change. My current self, however, very much does not want that change. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. Unwanted personality shifts are negative drug side effects and the people running around pitching psychedelics as miracle cures without downsides are harming people.
Hard to imagine running a giant "Beowulf" cluster like this could produce results. Software programs are metastable ("Mythical Man Month" concept), meaning they constantly require maintenance because they are fundamentally entropy decreasing systems. The work to stitch such a system together would be phenomenal considering to simply building a massive data center (which would be simple by comparison ironically).

The "cloud" would be a much better option as it is incredibly powerful and the stability has been encoded into the highly similar hardware. See this classic text, the researcher who originally wrote it was hired by Google [1]

I'm curious why you'd want google to build this, but not facebook? They seem equally incentivized to do the same thing with your data.
That's a very convenient assumption! "People who blog recipes are probably crappy anyway, so I'm morally clean" isn't a successful ethical system.
Compromises are a fact of life and I don’t fault hiring decisions for making them. We already know the relevant answer — scripting language familarity enough to do adhoc data processing — and this question doesn’t focus on understanding of that desire and could be seen as providing sensitive hiring decision information, so I discourage answering it.
I like the Serious Eats format, where they provide both a brief recipe and an optional backstory. Some of the research and reasoning is interesting for certain recipes (like pressure cooker French Onion soup), though when actually cooking the story makes finding the details a bit more work.
>As far as the battery goes, the XR has a 324Wh nickel manganese cobalt oxide battery (that’s a mouthful!) while the one I built has a 960Wh Lithium Ion battery pack.

NMC is a type of lithium-ion battery. The cell voltage of the ebike battery he's using is 3.7v, which means it also uses NMC cells.
> Additional highways are at-best a stop-gap for day-to-day traffic, never a solution, due to induced demand

This continues to be wrong every time someone brings it up.

If you have insufficient road capacity, you have congestion, and congestion suppresses demand. If you increase capacity, some of the congestion goes away, and then some of the demand comes back.

What this looks like is that you currently have enough cars to require three lanes but have two lanes, so you build a third lane. The reduction in congestion causes you to have enough cars to require four lanes, leading to the fool's conclusion that adding enough lanes is impossible. But that's not it. It's that you needed four from the beginning to handle the amount of traffic that occurs there in the absence of congestion, but you only had three, or two.

Sometimes building a four (or five or six) lane highway isn't the best solution. Sometimes it's better to build more housing near the jobs so people have shorter commutes, or build mass transit etc.

Sometimes you just need a wider road. Pretending that's never the case is preposterous. If that was true then why do we keep multi-lane highways open instead of closing all but one of the lanes? Wouldn't that improve traffic, under this theory?
I think it would get reported by your competitors and then blacklisted/penalized after manual review.
NeuML 2021 Year in Review
What were the main factors that prevented the roman empire from having an industrial revolution?

Is there a single technology, that if sent back in time, would have sustained their empire? (Steam engine? Hydropower improvements? Standardized measurements for tighter tolerances?)
I'm fairly certain that (technically) nothing's stopping you from doing so. However, there are so many libraries/clients/etc... that do not allow it that it would be almost impossible to patch them all. Adding a new method and having libraries add it and support it properly would be better.
Oh neat! That certainly improves the odds.
What kind of party was it?
In some cases it might be theoretically possible to just outspend the problem. But in most cases the roads have to be going somewhere, and you don't have significant control over where and how big that somewhere is (i.e. you can't easily move a whole urban center, or slice it into chunks and move all the chunks apart from each other a little to fit more roads). If all the roads are ending at the same place, making wider and longer roads to that place will (often) just induce more people to drive to that place from further away.

The reason "just shutting down all roads" doesn't make sense is that it doesn't solve the actual problem, which is that people want to both work in places with good jobs (traditionally often dense urban centers) while living in cheaper places that are far away and not spend significant chunks of their lives stuck in traffic. Shutting down all the roads only "solves" the traffic problem in a deliberately ridiculous sense (same as "just kill all humans").
You’re spot on. Plus the argument doesn’t hold water since there are a finite number of potential drivers.
As long as they eventually find the greater fool, the 2.5% cut is just the cost of doing (pumping) business.
Perhaps, but I think in this case what killed Persona was lack of adoption and interest from the public, nothing inherent to the actual technology
I would take the rancher anecdata lightly, cattle prices have increased hugely over 2021. There were a couple of big dips (where meatpackers probably shut down or had worker problems), but it doesn't look like raising cattle was worse in 2021 than 2020 or 2019. https://futures.tradingcharts.com/historical/GF/2021/0/conti...

(Unless of course, they sell at contracted prices that didn't account for... across the board inflation)

And again, none of this explains why my local butcher who doesn't buy from midwest feed lots raised their prices.

Aren't EVs programmed to hold a reserve charge for emergencies? To avoid the cost and inconvenience of a tow, shut off power before you lose the ability to drive yourself to the nearest charger. (Bonus points for adjusting the threshold based on the distance to known stations.)

But in the case that a car does drain the battery, how difficult is it to get a portable charger to someone? Have roadside mechanics started carrying generators in their trucks now? They probably should, with the appropriate cables.
Probably so. But as long is there is wage growth for hourly workers, however modest, the scenario where a worker at Business A earning $10/hr quits to take a job at Business B to make $11 will happen frequently enough to generate these kinds of stories.

Virtually all of the clinical trials and robust research studies psilocybin in conjunction with 10 or more non-psychedelic therapy sessions.

It's a mistake to think that you can ignore the intense therapy that goes into these studies and focus only on the psilocybin.

Sort of an aside: I find it so strange to insist that everything have The One True Story With All Its Details And We Shall Murder Anyone Who Disagrees ("canon"). I'm not an expert in literature by any means--I was bad at, and hated, lit crit--but it seems like this is a relatively recent invention, or at least that its application to anything other than religious texts is a recent development. For starters I don't think this is how stories have been told for most of human history. Before Beowulf was written down, were people interrupting scops to say that the color of the dragon in their version was non-canonical? And even if they were, most stories--and especially ones that we seem to get bent out of shape about when it comes to "canon"--aren't real, so to insist that there is some set of essential, unchangeable facts that they refer to is gibberish.

Would very much appreciate insight on this from someone who has studied literature and/or folklore extensively (though I suspect this might not be the right place to find such a person).
Why in the world would "get more people driving" be a measure of success? For industries that directly benefit from that, sure, but I can't imagine how that could be a societal goal.
