It is not easy to do this. Losing the engine at the wrong time or place would have meant near certain death especially in the winter regions. Very few people have done this, and none at her age/gender. It's a tremendous accomplishment even if you do not think so.
How to rejig science by understanding ecosystem of “research”
If they managed to pay their debts by printing money, and it causes the wealth of all individuals to decrease by 25% due to inflation, that’s sort of the same result as if they’d been able to collect the taxes instead.

Printing money/inflation is a tax.
labor is a requirement for survival. it is demand-induced, not supply-driven. Most can't choose to get high instead of go into work. high people still get the jobs done.

most people aren't incapable of realizing their full potential because of their personal mindspace, but because they are confined to a specific economic survival role.
You’re smart…
This is totally irrelevant in multiple different ways.
- No multi-line support

- Gets very messy when nested

And SICP is a book about learning computer science by abusing lambdas.
Stas is more like, "I have pushed this button in the past for this very project, and it caused my downstream users to blame me for their software breaking, and so I don't feel compelled to continue doing so."

On the whole though, making a comparison to trolleys crashing or $100k being wasted is a poor analogy.

So there's no uncertainty, we are talking about a project maintainer refusing to remove a warning that he thinks shouldn't have been there in the first place. It's not like there's in-fighting on the same project. It's that one independent project can't convince another independent project to make a change materially inconsequential to either.
With all respect …. Do people care about self hosted for productivity apps?
Probably a very low amount. When I was studying I participated as a student representative at the CS programme I was attending and this was something that was actively being addressed.

The problem was multi-pronged. The courses had become increasingly geared toward industry, and students that had an interest weren't really fit for continuing their studies.

In the end, the longer 5 year program (MSE) was allowed to remain more vocational while those seeking a bachelor's were brought along a much more theoretical path so they could then do a master's followed by a PhD.
Even if the appeal to nature weren't bogus, both alcohol and cannabis are as "natural" as things can be in that broken worldview.
Python is based on mainly on statements rather than expressions, and lambdas can’t have multiple statements, so writing lambdas is different from writing normal Python code.

In a very real sense, there is no idiomatic way to write complex lambdas in Python. What you would do instead is define a named function and pass it in as an argument. This is fine but definitely more complicated.
Appeal to nature might be a logical fallacy in arguments, but in practice is a useful heuristic anyway.
Also, you don't need to be downwind from the BBQ. It's a point emission of fluid (particulate). It diffuses. The intensity scales with the square of the distance. (Same exact process as the cigarette smoke.)
Do you have full time jobs outside of this company or do you work full time on different activities within your company?

What is the volume of a single contract sold? What are the cost to serve that contract? The difference is what you could put on the line as a commission in the short term. For most sales persons, that’s way more interesting than having shares in the company.

Depending on your product and how clear the sales targets are within companies, you might consider to start with someone very junior to just write intro mails and schedule demo calls for you with potential prospects. That saves a lot of time, but gives you the opportunity to gather direct feedback from the market - I don’t know any other way to improve product market fit than jumping on a demo with potential customers.
It looks like Mac OS's dock, which is IMHO the best way to present a taskbar. Good to see this in Linux distros as well, such as Elementary OS (which looks a bit ugly, but is getting there).

Minimalism is about getting out of people's way. Many extras are never used by most people and shouldn't be visible, or they are annoying. If you want those extras there should be options to enable them or make them visible. Maybe even specialized software. But don't force every obscure feature onto my desktop!
Is this because there’s a finite amount of screen real estate? I wonder how OS UIs will evolve once VR is mainstream since there is a lot more screen real estate within VR?
This. The very vast majority of cannabis consumers will never touch hard drugs, and have no desire to even consider it.
This is not a "dumbphone"; those don't exist anymore now that the 3G networks have been turned off.

This "dumb" phone has an entire main-CPU OS, a web browser (!), and then another entire OS on the modem chip (which, of course, runs code which you have absolutely no influence over).

I miss dumbphones.
> > being in a different region implies being in a different availability zone.

> Availability zones do not map across regions. AZs are specific to a region. Different regions have differing numbers of AZs. us-east-1 has 3. IIRC ap-southeast-1 has 2.

Right.. So if you are in a different region, you are by definition in a different availability zone.

> You obviously feel very strongly about this. You've replied to my parent twice now. You're right that the parenthetical was harsh but I wouldn't say it's uncalled for.

Yah, I really thought about it and you're just reeking unkindness. And the people above that you're replying to and mocking are not wrong.

> Every one of these outage threads descends into a slew of easily defensible complaints about cloud providers. The quality of these discussions is terrible. I spend a lot of time at my dayjob (and as a hobby) working on networking related things. Understanding the subtle guarantees offered by AWS is a large part of my day-to-day.

If you're unable to be civil about this, maybe you should avoid the threads. Amazon seeks to avoid common-mode failures between AZs (and thus regions). This doesn't mean that Amazon attains this goal. And the larger point: as I'm sure you're aware, building a distributed system that attains higher uptimes by crossing multiple AZs is hard and costly and can only be justified in some cases.

I've got >20 years of experience in building geographically distributed, sharded, and consensus-based systems. I think you are being unfair to the people you're discussing with. Be nice.
On the impact of Platform Teams on your org
Funny that Windows gets forced simplicity, Apple goes the opposite, more gestures and hot corners which means that there is no place to move the mouse that will not produce an effect.

On iOS, the fact that the Home Button brought you back home every time was a selling point, so when you are in the sun, you click once and you know where you are. Then they introduced the 2-click on Home for the Control Center, 3-click, 4-click and now, it’s a cycle, so you never are home. Same for the swipe up to bring the control center, which you always have to do twice because the first scroll up generally brings the local app’s own swipe gesture. Apple became a model of stuffing the maximum of gestures, while Windows went the way of the simplicity. I can’t wait the day when Satya Nadella says “The problem with Apple guys is, they have no taste”…
IMO looking at the root causes here isn't that helpful. Software is complicated and there will always be some unknown bottleneck or bug lurking to knock you over on a bad day. The important lessons here are about:

* How their system architecture made them particularly vulnerable to this kind of issue

* Their actions to diagnose and attempt to mitigate the issue

* The whole later part about effectively cold-starting their entire infrastructure, all while millions of users were banging on their metaphorical door to start using the service again.
Recreational sex?

(also I endorse sibling's comment of exercise + healthy diet)
It definitely makes you smarter in some ways. For example, getting to the root of stress, processing difficult emotions. It's much easier to get in touch with those feelings when a little bit high. Meditation / yoga is another thing that works better high imo.
It's always every other release. Then the next one is a massive 180, because all the power users (including server admins, software developers, etc people who actually might affect MS market share) absolutely loathed that release.

We have seen this happen with Vista and Windows 8, and it will happen again with whatever comes after Windows 11. Microsoft does eventually listen to the users, but unfortunately only after it's too late for release N. I still can't explain how things are able to get that bad, before the correction happens
> code while high

I sometimes feel I code better when I'm slightly mentally impaired, because my mind stops getting in the way of getting things done and over analyzing problems.

But then I'm very rarely mentally impaired, as I normally neither drink nor consume cannabis or anything like that, so idk.

EDIT: Oh, just realized the answer is probably simple => less stress.
What does it mean to give "equality of opportunity" to a black child in America, who's ancestors were enslaved, who's great grandparent was lynched, who's grandparents couldn't vote, who's parents couldn't go to university because of discrimination?

Who lives in a country where three white men can murder a black jogger, and it requires a international outcry for the police to prosecute?

As I understand "woke", it does mean trying to equalise "opportunity"; it just recognises that "opportunity" in the sense of "something offered" is not the same as "opportunity" in the sense of "the chance to do well", and tries to correct that.

In this particular case, does it make sense to take away gifted and talented programmes? There is clearly equality of opportunity offered. But a woke response might be to also identify individuals in disadvantaged groups who would be at that level were it not for their disadvantage and help them get there.

> It seems virtually all stimulants used as a crutch to counter anxiety, depression, physical pain etc wind up killing off a lot of brain cells.

First off, medications used to treat medical disorders aren't a crutch. Knock that off.

Second, this simply isn't true. "If it works well, it must be destructive" is the sort of zero-sum folk wisdom nonsense you find in backwaters. Stick to the facts.

Any thread about commonly used psychoactive drugs brings out all of these thinly-veiled attempts at moralization over others. :(
How do you deal with getting around (public transit timing, driving directions/traffic, uber/lyft) without a smartphone?

I use 3 monitors for both, and frequently multi task and the extra click on Mac infuriates me.
Elon Musk: Tesla could play a role in Artificial General Intelligence
To me the wording where "may" is used, says that it's not guaranteed that persistent impairment will happen.

Then it's a matter of probability, much in the same way long-term effects of Corona is discussed.

Perhaps the probability is mentioned in the actual paper, but i tend to lose interest whenever the wording include the word "may".
> All in all, such substances are not natural...

But they are natural, aren't they? No less natural than the watermelon we are all eating (it might be cultivated), and I don't see anyone wanting to criminalize eating watermelon. Weed, tobacco, alcohol, coca leaves, poppy, they are all natural.

Also, even if it's natural, it has nothing to do with its dangerousness, so I don't follow your argument.

With regards to legalizing it, I'm on the side that if alcohol and tobacco are legal, weed should be legal, too. They are all bad for you in some sense, but we need to balance that with freedom and individual choice, and to me, they are pretty similar.
From what I can tell KDE/gnome started development in 97.

KDE started in 1996, but I remember running one of the first alphas in 1997 (Alpha 2?) and being relieved that Linux had finally something that somewhat resembled the Windows 95 UI. Before that people were primarily running tvm or fvwm (CDE was still closed-source), which was fine for Unix-heads, but nowhere close to the gold standard that the Windows 95, NT 4, or macOS classic were.

(Ps. fvwm95 was released pretty soon after Windows 95, but only had the look of Windows 95, not really the usability.)

I've known many people in silicon valley who smoke cannabis regularly (several times a week if not daily). They all seemed to be cognitively normal. Some of them function on a level I only wish I could attain.

I think regular cannabis use attracts a certain type of person. That type of person can vary in their ability and intelligence, just like any type of person. This is also true of say, hardcore fans of fantasy fiction. They all have certain things in common, but you couldn't paint all of them as "creative" or any other trait.

I'm hesitant when hearing about long term effects, even on developing brains. Both Barack Obama and Carl Sagan smoked a ton of cannabis when they were younger. And they and others really turned out fine.

This paper seems to be a meta study that combines the results from other studies. Since there were multiple methodologies it's hard to get a sense of exactly what questions they were answering.
I think people "should" be consuming whatever they want. We're not free if we're not free to damage or destroy our own damn selves. It's really nobody else's business what goes into one's own body, or how damaging it is or is not to the person ingesting it.

> User space filesystem and network implementations still need access to the hardware.

No, they don't. Filesystems don't need access to the hardware, that part is handled by the block device driver. Network stacks (e.g., TCP/IP) also don't need access to the hardware, that part is handled by the network interface driver.
If you're trying to win elections, it's probably a bad battle to pick. But if you actually want to reform the police, it's a battle you are going to have to fight. I'll leave it to the galaxy brains to determine what the appropriate balance between the two is.
Woah, it's a meta-analysis. So, you're definitely not going to get a good summary in 10 words.

Early use of cannabis was correlated with worse outcomes, but those who started later in life were still associated with deficits in the studies surveyed.

> To conclude, meta-analytical data on the acute effects of cannabis use on neurocognitive function have shown that cannabis intoxication leads to small to moderate deficits in numerous cognitive domains, most notably executive functions, verbal learning and memory and processing speed. These acute impairments are in accordance with the residual effects that have been documented in several meta-analyses suggesting that the detrimental effects of cannabis persist beyond the period of acute intake.

You are mistaken. Vast numbers of American teens are prescribed amphetamines every day. The main difference between elicit recreational methamphetamine use and medical/psychological amphetamine use is circumstances and dosing. Kids on Ritalin are generally in safe situations where they have consulted a psychologist with the involvement of their parents, and are given a pure, unadulterated, small, carefully dosed amount of amphetamines. Meth addicts are typically people with more serious mental issues and in precarious situations, given massive and uncertain doses of unpure, perhaps adulterated amphetamines.

The disparate outcomes of those groups are much more about the dosage and the personal/social situation.

Pharmacologically, they are pretty much the same drug.
My understanding of the cockroach db architecture, it that it’s essentially two discrete components, a key value store that actually persists the data, and a SQL layer built on top.

Standalone GPS units still work just fine; same with public bus timetables.

You might have to give up uber. It's worth it though.
I was going to say as well, just the act of getting older means some things will be forgotten. The brain does not have an infinite store. And as you get older, there are many more things that you are responsible for, and therefore some things get sacrificed from your memory. That’s just fact.
In some ways you're not wrong, but this was the mentality of East Germany as well. Why waste time with Jazz and jeans? Much more efficient to be reading didactics or working in a factory.

I live in Ontario in Canada and it’s a problem here. I don’t understand what 2 years has to do with it. The big point of restrictions is to flatten the curve. This might be the last time it’s a problem, or it might continue for another year, who knows? It really depends on what variants emerge and how serious their effects are.
Not all the time. Overthinking is a thing, there is a reason why taking walks or showering helps solve problems when fully focused cognitive attention was leading only to frustration.

All that said, I think it is a good thing to not make anything that affects(increase or decrease) cognitive performance a habit.
This is an interesting story, but you have to wonder what led to this kid starting to smoke weed in the first place. It sounds to me like he may have had bigger underlying mental health issues that caused him to start smoking, rather than the weed being the cause of his subsequent suïcideer attempt and heroin addiction.
Who should override the experts in design.
Your description of being messed up on weed actually sounds depressing.

I’ll take a hike in some beautiful nature anyday over depressing night in smoking weed. You have no idea how positive an effect being outside in nature has on you.
I hope that you do not regret telling this story, I appreciated it very much. I am glad to hear that your friend is doing better.

Hard disagree. Cannabis isn’t actually an anti-depressant in the same way that alcohol and other euphoric drugs aren’t antidepressants. Chronic cannabis use has also been correlated with increased depression scores over time.

But that’s beside the point: Cannabis withdrawal and rebound is a very real phenomenon. It’s another myth that you can’t get addicted to THC or that it’s okay because it’s not a “physical” addiction. The withdrawal effects described above are consistent with cannabis withdrawal syndrome and are well documented.

You're so right. It's certainly a tightrope, helping with anxiety vs inducing anxiety, at least for me. But when it works it works. Recently it completely opened my mind about my relationship with my mother and her identity as a person. It was right before a several week stay of her with us after a long time of us not seeing each other. It was the single biggest reason her visit was as enjoyable as it was because it enabled me to see her in a totally different, more compassionate, light.
