Maybe you only remember nightmares? I have many, and they obviously stand out.

Sometimes they are funny. I had a walk in my former school district (actually I was able to jump very high and jumped around instead) and knew there are 6 humanoid monsters. But my revolver only had 5 bullets, so I had to find the armed one to take a bullet from him first.

I often have offense/defense dreams, like when I was in a room full of people, but one of them grinned at me holding a knife. I disarmed him, pushed to the pretty high window sill and carved crosses on his knees. Everyone pretended not to notice us. I hate dreams of punching someone, because my arms feel weak and slow, but when I have a gun or a "fingersniper", all enemy men become dead quickly.

I also was beaten, burning, shot, drowning, bitten, falling, stabbed. Often it's not as terrific as it sounds. Bites usually come from my recurring friend, a dog with no body, instead it's all a large mouth on legs, which can contain your entire arm. It is ~friendly.

But the worst nightmare is sort of a poltergeist. Things subtly move on their own, body gravity changes in an "intentional" way, and space becomes filled with some sort of unpleasant numbing sound. Sometimes doors don't want you to come out of them by catching my feet, I fall down and then "fall" back up paralyzed. This one is recurring from my childhood, and I (falsely) remember to experience it awake few times.

Also, lucid dreaming techniques help with detecting nightmares and turning them into something funny, or simply moving the scene far enough.
>Cannabis use produces persistent cognitive impairments

Yeah, that's what we use it for. Can't stand being so clever all the time...
Yes, more or less. AirBnB does have pretty close to 100% of some overnight lodging markets and are likely to take more, but they're a long way from having 100% of the market now; their revenues are only about US$5 billion a year.

But I think the major threat to their business is not competition from the old guard with their trillion-dollar yearly revenues; they'll eat those guys' lunch, no problem. The real risk is that they'll be banned, like they are in New York, or soft-banned to favor local startups, like they are in China.
my friend does drugs excessively and wonders how I stay so straightedge. I don't drink or smoke, I eat a healthy vegan diet and exercise as much as I safely can.

but it's because alcohol and weed give me panic attacks, and interact with my meds. my body is slowly degenerating so I'm in constant pain and my exercise routine consists of rehab.

I feel like the pain and constant mental strife is aging me faster than weed would. heck, it'd be medical in my case.
It probably is depressing. I’m expected to choose between a less enjoyable life or knowingly making myself stupider and unhealthier, obstructing other life goals I may have had.

How do you think I’ve never been outside in similar nature? The reality is I’ve experienced both countless times so I literally do know exactly how much of an effect that has while the same can’t be said vice versa. I’ve been to many national parks, forests, beaches, campgrounds, ski resorts, mountains all over the western US for decades. Yes it’s more wholesome and serene, but it’s sadly not a comparison for the sheer euphoria experienced imbibing recreational drugs in a variety of social settings. Why do you think EDC, Woodstock, and other major concerts are so huge?
This review seems to complement the review given by John Gray at the New Statesman[1]. It's interesting to observe what was mentioned and omitted in each of the reviews. Collini writes: "During his lifetime there was also another kind of ‘fuss’ about Wells that is now bound to seem exaggerated. He was pilloried as an advocate of ‘free love’..." Is it really that surprising that in the post-Metoo era, a celebrated celebrity having an affair with an university student half his age continues to raise eyebrows? Also, on Wells' marriage with his second wife Jane, Collini says "he had always appreciated her qualities and had remained committed to her in his way. His way, of course, was not everyone’s way." Gray's judgement on Wells is much harsher: "Wells treated Jane abominably, spending much of his time with lovers. He returned to be with her only when she was dying from cancer, even then leaving regularly to spend a few days in France, where his current lover was living."

It is most illuminating to read from Collini that "Wells was a representative product of an era when the market and opportunities to get published had hugely expanded but before print began to be seriously challenged by other media. A number of other figures who roamed promiscuously and, above all, prolifically across literature, journalism and social criticism (Shaw and Chesterton come most readily to mind) also enjoyed a kind of celebrity in this period that they probably could not have attained before or after." Although he seems to deliberately sidestep the elephant in the room, even when Shaw's name has been mentioned. Gray gives a more detailed account of how Wells was possessed by the "madness of his times", which should give ample reason why no serious attempts are made to revive Wells' reputation today. Reading these two reviews, it is sad to realise that the dirty laundry of past authors can be either displayed in the open or swept under the rug depending on the personal liking of the reviewer.

The same people who want the authoritarian minimalism buildings: their designers, who get to satisfy the design fashion, and show off to each other.

No. Especially at bedtime, I want to be cognitively stopped. The fact that the cognitive is keeping me awake even though I'm physically exhausted sucks.
As an avid VR user.. I agree.

They are way too hot and heavy for extended periods. Comfort needs to be solved for there to be any chance of them being used for general use.
>E.g. if "photo" auto-completes to "Photoshop", should "photos" auto-complete to "Photoshop" or "Photos"? I think it's "obvious" that consistency is more important here.

Regardless of what you want the behaviour to be, the behaviour shouldn't be, as it is on my system:

"pho" = Photos

"photo" = Photoshop

"photos" = Photos

And as I type this to confirm what happens after, now "photos" completed to photoshop, despite not selecting anything since the last time I typed it...

There is a good reason why I use either the Powertoys Run or Launchy on every system I touch.
Compact density, bookmark descriptions, rss support... They've removed so many "niche" features that I decided to try Chrome and found the only thing I miss are multi-account containers. I used a container for personal stuff and another one for work, and I've switched to using Chrome for work and Firefox for personal stuff so I don't even use that anymore, but I hope they don't remove it.
It's not addictive, you just can't sleep any more for a while if you try to stop
The particular Nokia device mentioned in this article is now a little out of date. It will not receive any new updates. The Google service might even stop working on it (depending on where you live). The author will soon be quite upset. The next version of KaiOS is on the way, sans Google services, but with baked in FB and Twitter.

For the gadget tweakers, this device can be "hacked" a little and have alternative apps loaded (and bloatware removed) so that is a plus. Its sister device, the Nokia 800 Tough, is also tweakable and can be set up so the batter lasts 4 to 5 days (getting rid of all bloatware and making it an SMS/Telephone will do that to most phones though).
Correct me if I’m wrong but you can do BankID with a chip and pin device from the major banks?

When I first got BankID it was not tied to my phone and it was a lot of hassle to figure out how to make that the case with Handelsbanken (my bank at the time).

Much easier with Nordea, nordea having greater English support (though not amazing) and a much better web interface (bordering amazing when compared with Handelsbanken).
> charges me when VMs are alive and

You still need that capacity, don't you? You will have to adjust the pricing but i doubt it will cost either of us any less, whether you allocate it.
This is actually the reason I prefer string unions.

Lets say I have a function that converts sizes to pixels:

const sizeToPx(size: ‘small’ | ‘med’ | ‘large’): number

If I have a Button component that can only be small or medium that’s no problem:

type ButtonProps = { size: ‘small’ | ‘medium’ }
const Button = styled.button(({ size }: ButtonProps) => ({
height: sizeToPx(size)

I can’t do that with an enum.

You’re correct there’s a risk of a type collision. But I have never experienced anything like that. Seems pretty unlikely.
> Several months ago, we enabled a new Consul streaming feature on a subset of our services. This feature, designed to lower the CPU usage and network bandwidth of the Consul cluster, worked as expected, so over the next few months we incrementally enabled the feature on more of our backend services. On October 27th at 14:00, one day before the outage, we enabled this feature on a backend service that is responsible for traffic routing. As part of this rollout, in order to prepare for the increased traffic we typically see at the end of the year, we also increased the number of nodes supporting traffic routing by 50%

So they rolled out a pretty significant Consul related change the day before their massive Consul outage began. They’d been doing a slow rollout, but ramping it up a bunch is a significant change.

The idea that designers circa Win7 "ruined" windows UX/UI is just revisionist history. Windows has had pretty terrible UI/UX basically forever, and most Linux folks have known this since the early 90s, where KDE, GNOME, etc. were vastly superior to anything Microsoft was putting out.

Sorry, but talking about revisionist history. KDE had their first stable release in 1998, years after Windows 95. KDE was inspired by CDE, but almost equally by Windows 95 (see e.g. the launcher in early KDE versions). Before KDE, we were mostly using fvwm, twm, etc., which had extremely bad usability for non-expert users. The GNOME project was started after KDE, because some folks were unhappy that KDE used Qt, which didn't have a free software license at the time.

In fact, most ideas you see in MacOS these days can find their roots in early (and often experimental) Linux interfaces (from multiple desktops, to launchers, to Exposé).

Well, that's saying like "most ideas for the iPhone have their roots in...". Sure, there may have been environments that give some overview of applications. But Exposé set the gold standard for this feature and relied very heavily on GPU-accelerated compositing (Quartz compose). Something Linux desktop environments and Windows only got years later. Quickly after Exposé was added to Panther, you saw folks in the Linxu world trying to copy the feature to KDE and GNOME. See e.g.:

https://store.kde.org/p/1220207

(Also see how clunky and ugly it looked compared to OS X Exposé. Since the icons all have different resolutions, some are sharp, others are very pixely. The design is quite ugly, the Kopete window is cut in half. Etc.)

The Linux development has largely been reactive, even to this day. E.g. once hamburger menus started popping up in Google's design language, GNOME started to copy this idea. Thanks to which GNOME doesn't have application menus anymore (which is absolutely disastrous for desktops.)

most ideas you see in

I think this also expresses an issue with the Linux-approach to the desktop (by and large). In the end it is not about features, ideas, or being there first. It is about forming a consistent and coherent interface. Linux desktops fail here in even basic things that have been solved in other desktops for decades, such as consistent keyboard shortcuts between applications.

etc,etc

You know, everything that's wonderful about life before capitalism, or at least the most popular implementations of it, told us we don't have time for such things anymore, that both partners need to work 40+ hours a week each, and we've been finding shortcuts to fulfillment and stress relief since. Worse, the status quo has co-opted a lot of good things and turned them into tools for further capitalist oppression. See "learn meditation to be a better employee to help with stress" narratives pushed at so many companies instead of narratives about "why is our work so stressful and what can we do about it?"

I feel like I can't talk to a coder before the conversation turns into "So what drugs are you abusing to remain competitive in the workplace?" We're in such a sea of workplace oppression, its practically water fish swim in, and its often difficult to point and say "Look, the abuses of low-regulatory capitalism is the water here, do you see it?" Instead we just go back to talking about doubling up on ADHD medicine, microdosing exotic chemicals, getting high to 'get by,' low-key drinking problems, caffeine usage thats out of control, etc.

This stuff, if not real, would be unbelievable in a dystopian sci-fi novel just a couple decades ago, but here we are. We're becoming Mentats from Dune addicted to sapho juice to please our paymasters.
Just because we’ve had some characters as president doesn’t mean we can’t have opinions. Only countries with a history of perfect presidents can have opinions? And by this logic, rich people shouldn’t comment on the imf, and anyone on the internet on hacker news is comparatively well off in the grand scheme.

If having a bad leader means we can’t comment on other presidents, and all countries have had rich powerful people and organizations abuse their monetary power, how is it consistent to be okay criticizing external rich and powerful organizations but not leaders?
This means the early employees today are producing more economic value for shareholders and are being paid less for creating more value! (Unless early team sizes have changed substantially, which I don't believe to be the case.)
It's Microsoft's url shortcut system.

Beyond the obvious shortening feature, the main benefit is that MS can change the underlying resource the shortcut links to should they need to in the future.
> I never understood distrust, because scientists base their work on research that is extensively cited.

It's good that the supply chain of science is traceable, but it doesn't guarantee truth by any means. Their are many non-scientific human endeavors that have traceability, take software development for instance.

I think the distrust comes from many fields having fairly obvious political trends, in particular social sciences. Another source of distrust is overextrapolation of science by authorities. For instance, science might say that certain drugs are harmful if abused, and politicians may use that to claim the war on drugs is based on science, which obviously is not true. Lastly, some fields struggle producing consistent and falsifiable results, such as economics and psychology.

Graeber's books reprogrammed my brain. But I'm still struggling to connect the dots:

What does Iroquois style participatory democracy actually look like?

We need movies and soap operas. To tell the stories.

Like West Wing, House of Cards, Mr Smith Goes To Washington, The Wire. Show the human drama and machinations. Events, issues, and people. Conflicts and resolutions.

Participatory democracy is not all puppies and ice cream. The advocates would be well served to show that it's just another decision making strategy. Hopefully superior to what we have today.

Like how Approval Voting is better than Winner Takes All. We'd still run elections. Just more robust with better outcomes, so therefore less drama.
You'd be surprised how capable your brain is when you just trust it to remember directions. A couple of times when going to a place I've not been before I've drawn a little map, but you can always ask someone for directions to a specific street. It's actually a nice feeling to find your own way when there's the possibility of getting lost.

Buses and trains have their times at the stops/stations, or for less trafficked routes I just check on my computer and remember when I need to go.

Uber/Lyft are vile and I don't use them.
There was a study I saw recently that talked about how politically and culturally, some people are negatively motivated by shame (loosely on the right), and some are not (loosely on the left).

It's related to an overall value on "Purity" as a moral virtue.

I think what happens is that people like the author are very influenced by shame and therefore project the intent to shame on situations when they FEEL shame.

If I do something and someone tells me not to, I don't feel "shame", regardless of whether I agree with the direction or not.

That's not the case with some people.

I believe it's also associated with narcissism. If you are powerfully negatively impacted by shame you will do everything possible not to feel it including intense denial gaslighting and narcissism.
It's just really sucks that of the things that can't be remembered is the important stuff, yet I can still remember the opening bit of the Canterbury Tales that was commited to memory in school some couple of decades ago. yes, I know there's a difference in memory types, but come on!
everyone who seriously invests money in businesses knows that there’s a performance hit you take as a remote company

That's an interesting opinion, and very different to my experience, because investors were the first group of people I encountered who really embraced remote work. Two decades ago I worked for a company that had remote meetings with investors, remote board meetings, and that did work remotely. We had full time remote staff hundreds of miles away. The company paid for video conferencing hardware and ISDN lines for some of the staff. Most investors I've met since, including ones who invested in things I did, had no issue with remote work and understood the economics of it very well. I definitely don't think any of them believed fully remote companies were less effective, and I'm pretty sure they were happy money wasn't being spent on fancy offices (although I never grew a business enough to really get to that point to be fair).

I'd be very surprised to hear that the idea of remote work being less effective was coming from serious investors.
Correction: according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel#Early_history Intel's first product, in 01969, was the 3101 64-bit TTL SRAM chip. So there were RAM chips as small as 64 bits. But they weren't what was normally in CP/M machines; the base MITS Altair came with 256 bytes of RAM, but needed at least 4096 bytes to run BASIC.
Glad you find it useful!
Given the amount of alternative “medicines” building on that heuristic, I fail to see where it is useful other than for scam artists.

Sure, there are biological inventions we can copy and refine for possibly even better inventions - but those are useful not because they originated from nature but because evolution found a locally optimal solution to a problem.
It's really no different to people using caffeine (aside to the legality). They are both drugs, the main difference being I bet more folks suffer from the effects of caffeine (anxiety, loss of sleep, stress), than the do cannabis.
I'm in Australia and I think there's a law that carriers need to keep an amount of 3G coverage. So we will likely lose 4G coverage before 3G. Regulation FTW!
"Appeal to nature" isn't a logical fallacy, it just assumes some things about how things should be. You might disagree with those assumptions, but you, too, have beliefs about how things should be.
Thanks. I use behance as well, and it is quite good. However finding someone who is good and also available takes a lot of back and forth. Hoping there's some new solution that makes it more efficient

I can't figure out how to reach my files in Windows 11.

There are around 6 Documents folders/libraries/whatever in File Explorer, going to a combination of my work OneDrive, my personal OneDrive and my local user folder. There's one weird Documents that goes to the Documents in both OneDrives. There's a My Documents that give an error. I've a work Sharepoint folder that was also named Documents. I tried renaming them, which didn't work, and has just left me even more confused how to find things. If I go to the command line and do "dir C:\Users\<me>\Documents" which of this do I find? And how do I get to the others? And which ones get backed up where?

It's a complete mess. I sympathise now with the people who keep every file on the desktop.

Every time I go back to Linux, I feel a wave of relief: I see my files in a single dir tree under /home, searching works predictably.

How did Microsoft get to this?
It's called a feature phone, produced by HMD Global not Nokia, also KaiOS is crap and too unstable for regular use even compared with Android version 2
My understanding of new Coke was that it was sweeter, which made it do better in taste tests in the short term. Today we know how toxic and addictive sugar-laden drinks are, so a sweeter one is not an improvement, but a health hazard. Similarly they could have returned and increased to a tablespoon of cocaine, but we wouldn't be singing its praises.

Eventually we need to get back to sustainable work.

In my opinion mixed environments can absolutely work but are _extremely_ dependent on managers experience/maturity. If the rest of the team sees the management culture treating remote workers as first class citizens (in meetings, in communications, in documentation), then the rest of the team follows suit.

I agree that there is a network effect that is lost for the remote workers but it also depends on your ambitions, I would argue (and maybe I am projecting my preferences) that most of the people with remote preferences are IC's who love the technical work and have no interest in leadership roles (for which the network aspect would more vital).
