> I wonder what happened.

What's the difference between the life of a child and that of an adult? You seem to be very close to figuring it out. (Tip: adults have little to no leisure time).
We're talking about putting all the code except credentials (or with revocable credentials) where developers can see it.

IMO, the worst CI/CD tool on the market is Bamboo, and I've been using CI since you had to edit an XML file and restart.

And the reason for that is information hiding. The Bamboo UI is completely undiscoverable. All of the things you can do with it are buried in the docs. Anything you don't have permission to do is eliminated from the UI, so unless you RTFM you don't even know what tools you have available to solve problems.
Thanks for the correction. Should've read the paper when less tired!
I agree about the centralized logging -- it's my last point. My bigger question is why is anyone tailing log files anymore when the industry has built such a huge number of tools. It's curious, but tailing still has its place, at least emotionally.
I’ve recently taken to trying Kava, which seems to be relatively popular among people trying to quit alcohol/benzos/etc.

Supposedly it also helps with disinhibition and socialization, but admittedly I haven’t tried it in a social setting so I’m not sure myself. It certainly does relax me and chill me out though without the dumbing down of alcohol.

Of course, by the things I’ve seen in those “pop-medical” sites that fill Google search results, you’d think it’s much more dangerous than alcohol.
I think you’re right, mostly. As a user I’d like to know explicitly what my risk factor is.

Any exchange or custodian has a non zero chance of getting hacked or inside-jobbed; unlike fiat currencies there is no judicial process that is going to maybe let me claw my stuff back.

A sort of fdic insurance for custodian crypto accounts, is an inevitable market solution.
Kidding. There's lots of books even on the best sellers lists talking about this in various ways. Some can sound like pseudo science whereas others are backed by studies. Take em with a grain of salt, but they are enjoyable to read and learn about further for what is known today.
Let's keep it practical. Alcohol is here to stay and will not be prohibited. For historical reasons, culture, whatever...it stays.

Yet other harmful substances are currently banned and you opt to unban them for...consistency. It's like saying when two countries are at war, why can't we all be at war? Seems "unfair".
GHB is probably an even better replacement than Phenibut as it's safer, has less of a hangover/rebound and can be used more often to no detriment but it has a worse reputation, needs to be dosed correctly (taking twice the dose accidentally means you pass out for 4 hours), and if you for some reason end up using it 24/7 the addiction is as bad to kick as with benzos or alcohol.
For what it's worth, mRNA immunotherapies for cancer have been being injected into people for almost 20 years now. Efficacy aside, we know the medium-long term outcomes of injecting ourselves with mRNA.
> Are folks going to sue GM and Ford when people don't pay attention when their versions of driver assist don't stop the car for an obstacle or traffic signal? Probably, but that's because America is highly litigious and has lost the concept of personal responsibility.

A decent case can be made for making GM and Ford responsible, if you view tort law from an economic perspective rather than a moral perspective.

Under the moral perspective approach tort law's goal is to identify those whose negligence or wrongdoing are responsible for some harm and making them bear the cost of that harm.

That works fine when it is hard to have big torts that cause so much damage that the tortfeasor cannot cover it. You then start having to have insurance. Potential tortfeasors might have insurance that pays if their torts cause too much damage, and potential victims might have insurance that pays if they get harmed by an uninsured tortfeasor.

When an uninsured tortfeasor harms an uninsured victim and the victim needs expensive emergency medical treatment that they cannot afford they get it and the hospital pays or the taxpayers pay.

Under an approach to tort law based on an economic perspective it is not about blame. It is about putting responsibility where it can do the most to reduce the number and severity of similar future torts.

If Tesla and GM and Ford are responsible when their driver assist features are involved in an accident, regardless of whether it was user error or use stupidity or bad design or a manufacturing defect or whatever that causes, they will have good data on how often this happens, how much damage it causes, how those compare between their cars and the other cars, and can try to make changes to reduce frequency and severity if it turns out that their cars are having this issues at a higher rate than expected.

Under the insurance approach in the moral-based tort system, the insurance companies will have data on how often each company's cars have these problems so they can set premiums based on that. Drivers of higher risk cars will pay more to insure against accidents they are at fault in. All of us will pay more for coverage that covers us against accidents caused by underinsured drivers.

That might provide some incentive to the car companies to address the issue--if people know they are going to have to pay more for insurance if they buy one of your cars they might be more likely to choose a different car--but it isn't likely to be very much incentive.

With the approach in the economic-based tort system there are more incentives to actually improve safety instead of just raising prices for insurance.
I hike and camp a lot with my kid’s Scout troop, and agree: there’s so much fun you can have without alcohol. That said, there’s also a time factor. When we’re up in the mountains, we have a couple of days dedicated to the activity, and we can all relax into it. When a bunch of coworkers go out after work, they’ve got a couple of hours to go from work-mode to play-mode before going home for the night, and alcohol can greatly facilitate how quickly a person can switch from one to the other.

I enjoy the same things you’re talking about sober (except maybe concerts — is that even legal?), but understand why a group of friends would start their evening together with a round of drinks.
> What happens when a drug addict looking his next fix attacks someone?

You arrest and charge them for attacking someone?
The reason enums are useful—and the private keyword until recently with JS adding private fields—are that they’re nominal types. You can have…

enum HTTPMethod {
POST = 'post',
// ...
}

enum FenceMaterial {
POST = 'post',
// ...
}

… and you can be sure 'post' is not ambiguous.

Private fields have the same benefit, which is particularly useful for treating abstract classes as nominal interfaces. But yes, if your target environments support private fields natively, it’s more idiomatic to use those than the private keyword now.

I generally avoid namespaces, but they’re also sometimes useful eg satisfying weird function signatures expecting a callback with additional properties assigned to it. This is of course uncommon in TypeScript, but fairly common in untyped JavaScript and its corresponding DefinitelyTyped declarations.
> What society says is legal has an effect on how it is perceived and how frequently it’s accessed by minors, teens, young adults, and adults. Exercising a modicum of conservatism in approving all things that we think are safer than alcohol seems appropriate to me.

Considering that we are talking about alcohol, this argument could just as well be used in favor of liberalization.
I am fine with abstinence as a general recommendation, but critical thinking pointed out two issues with the WHF Policy Brief, which I suppose I have read in sufficient depth:

1. There is no citation on the sentence, "Recent evidence has found that no level of alcohol consumption is safe for health." This is really the only line we are interested in.

2. There is no comparison on the effects of alcohol on the body by dosage (and frequency), which is, again, what is required from the brief to make that claim.

Again, while I don't necessarily disagree with what's in the report, and that it is already established that drinking too much is not good for the heart, considering many otherwise toxic substances have a hormetic zone, it is critical that a study like this rules out the its existence for ethanol.
What's wrong with ints for price calculations? Are you thinking floats?
I don’t understand your comparison with a fire.

Your claim that moderate alcohol consumption makes things more fun is part of the point of my post. Is this actually true, or just a rationalization of people who already drink?

No judgement for those who do drink, by the way.
It feels like a bubble to me. When I see Matt Damon shilling crypto, it reminds me of pets.com Superbowl ads. I think reality will catch up sooner or later.
I think a good measuring stick would be the distance you'd need to drive in a car to generate the same level of risk to your life. Driving is seemingly mundane but I think one of the riskiest things we do on a daily basis in the US.
I honestly don't remember which exact year this happened. I can give you a super wide time bracket to make sure it's in this range, which is between 1998 and 2004. In actuality it was probably closer to 2000-2002. It was aired on one of the big French Montreal news channels (TVA, TQS). It was probably TVA because we watched the news there most of the time. The new bulletin aired ~6PM. They used the French term "internaute" to talk about an internet user. So you might try keywords like "internaute sauve jeune femme". I'd be curious to watch it if it's somehow possible to find it. I don't need to contact the person and I don't need a "thank you" though. I just hope that wherever she is, she's doing okay :)
There are so many factors that effect health its really hard to isolate one. I think moderation is key to preventing one of these things from having an undue large effect. grandmother (Irish/English) drank and smoked a lot, she lived to her mid-nineties. She had a relatively stress free existence though. But she's one person and without an identical twin control, its hard to tell how much better she might have been had she abstained.
This might be true, but with the caveat that your subconscious mind is likely not so worried about the ethical implications of its decision making.

So your "I've got a bad feeling about this" intuition might be because your subconscious picked up on somebody's suspicious behavior, or maybe it's just because you're in a different cultural environment than you usually occupy.
Is there a good word that describes the somewhat uncomfortable feeling one gets in their stomach when thinking about the magnitude and complexity of reality? Is humbled a feeling? I can't thinking of anything good in English, wondering if any other languages have this word (like how Saudade is in Portuguese)
> Most property crime transfers wealth to poorer people, making them less poor and reducing poverty. Convicting and imprisoning criminals increases poverty.

Yes, if you move into a nice neighborhood and start sticking up the local residents and stores for material resources, you will increase your own material wealth and thus reduce your own poverty. Two decades from the start of you and your friends raiding the other town residents, you and your children will live in an economic dead zone. Smart and enteprising people will leave as soon as they can, and the peaceful majority that used to inhabit the area will never enter if they can help it.

This exact pattern has happened in every major American city, in Eastern Europe, in Russia, in China, in Central and South America, and in many African countries. Prosperity comes from people, and if people are threatened by crime, they will leave and create prosperity elsewhere.

> Most property crime transfers wealth to poorer people, making them less poor and reducing poverty. Convicting and imprisoning criminals increases poverty.

This is not true in the slightest. Don't rich people commit crime up one wall and down the other? Instead of sticking up gas stations, they're sticking up markets and foreign countries. Did having enough money to live comfortably stop them from committing crime? Of course it didn't. Transfer six hundred thousand US dollars to every member of a drug cartel. Will they become peaceful, moral, upstanding, and desirous of participantion in a pleasant middle-class lifestyle? Of course not.

I love studies like this. Because it shows exactly where our lines are.

If this is true, we should stop drinking. That's what the data says.

But if you won't, I really don't want to hear you opining on anyone else's choice of unhealthy vice.
> Parent: 'You can drink, but you can't do cocaine.'

> Kid: 'Why?'

Parent: 'Because alcohol is legal and cocaine isn't; that has several consequences.

'Governmental regulations provide some confidence that alcohol is safe and as-advertised; there is no regulation of the manufacturing quality of cocaine.

'Buying alcohol brings you into close proximity to the liquor supply chain, all of whom can settle disputes by using the court system. Buying cocaine brings you in close proximity to the cocaine supply chain, all of whom can only settle disputes using violence.

'And of course there are no legal repercussions for the possession of alcohol; there are legal repercussions for the possession of cocaine.'
Which drug will do more harm if freely available to all children? Alcohol, meth, heroin or crack?

I will pick alcohol every time over the others.
I think out-of-the-box PHP kind of is a framework, at least compared to what you get in most other languages.

An artist can mint an infinite number of NFTs for any single piece of art. They'll all be 100% legitimate. Only one will be the "first", but that's not much of a distinction (or rather, it's the same distinction you get from owning the first of a numbered copy of a print).
Oh-ho, no, not in my experience.

I used to be devastatingly introverted. Alcohol helped, but it’s nothing compared to GHB or MDMA. Ecstasy will give you the gift of gab like you can’t believe.

minor edit: I should say I am ignoring the context of where it’s acceptable to do such things. You probably shouldn’t do G at Christmas with the in-laws. (Though our quarantine Christmas this year with friends…) I’m just making a bit of a pedantic bit that there are club drugs out there that are pretty wild in how they can open you up socially.
Reasoning about society by infantilizing adults is also a terrible way to reason about policy.

Leaders are not parents, states are not families, national budgets do not compare to your bank account, and adults are equal partners in our society.

I realize you're trying to get at psychological tendencies, but the premise is flawed and leads to applying faulty intuitions in disasterous ways.
"How do you like them apples?" will be the Crypto.com response to anyone that lost their money.
If the trend continues, we very well may.
I guess you could say the alcohol lobby was "cooking with gas"
Makes sense if I was worried about capital flight and complete control I would try and ban the best way of getting money out of the country too.
You chill red vine? Savage.
Back in the 1990's we used to call things like that "license keys".
There are also many people who self medicate with opioids to treat chronic depression. I certainly wouldn't recommend that depressed people try opioids, but empirically it seems to be effective in reducing symptoms for some patients at least temporarily.
Of course you'd say that. You clearly work for the salt lobby! In all seriousness though, who stands to benefit from this? In the case of sugar, doctors wanted to suggest limiting it, but lobbyists pushed for the advocation of limiting fat intake instead (which was thought to be just as unhealthy at the time). Sugar was a clear substitute because removing fat makes things taste like, well, cardboard. Off the top of my head, I'm not aware of any substitutes for tobacco products or alcohol. Recreational services, maybe? Even Bowling alleys typically have bars.
> Is age discrimination now all of a sudden okay?

This line of reasoning doesn't capture any nuance. These kinds of things operate on an allowlist. Unless there is a law enacted specifically as an exception then no, in general age discrimination is not okay.

Voting, alcohol, weed, driving, truancy, parental control, marriage, consent for sex, contract law, criminal law, social security, retirement accounts, and military service all discriminate based on age despite it being the guiding principle that you should avoid using age for restrictions when possible. The law has plenty of examples of min and max ages.

If there was any other way to ban cigarettes without making life miserable for people who are currently addicted? Because we should absolutely ban cigarettes. The victim is the cigarette smoker and the crime is the manufacture and sale of a an addictive substance that it not safe to use in any amount.

I agree with you that a law making it illegal for people to smoke is silly, the law should apply to manufacturers and distributors.
This is part of their model. Manjaro’s repositories are downstream of Arch.
You easily could have done that just worrying about it.
Alcohol is one of the worst "drugs" on a personal/societal harm scale - if we're going to tolerate this at large, we should probably consider legalizing everything else that's less harmful to at least be consistent.

I've never understood the arguments like yours, which I used to hear a half-century ago in high school, and now see presented online. They distill down to "We allow this one bad thing, so we should allow all of the other bad things, too." As if having more bad things is better than having fewer bad things.

I don't drink, so I don't care if alcohol gets banned or restricted or whatever. But these type of arguments always strike me as little more than "Billy jumped off the bridge, so I can, too!"

I really don't see the logic here.
I've been waiting for something like this. Now we need to get the AMA to reverse its stance too. I've seen too many people start with the one drink excuse, and multiply by the number of days they HAVEN'T had a drink. It's totally irresponsible messaging.
I can agree with that, but what is it? It can't be forced rehab, that is just jail but different. And addicts by definition _won't_ seek help or a solution.
This isn’t actually a reason, though, as it begs the question. Cocaine could definitely be manufactured legally if made legal.
A mid level engineer at FAANG is typically a large financial upgrade compared to other industries.

I don’t think it’s a break. Mid level FAANG engineers are expected to do a lot of work, and it’s can be extremely stressful.

I think you’re seeing these as much simpler or less stressful than they are. I don’t think FAANG is on the low stress level, at least not Amazon.

I’m going to quote a NY Times article from many years ago. It was true like 7 years ago, and it’s still true today. The quote was something like, “Amazon is a place where over achievers go to feel bad about themselves.
> Everything was legal until a law was passed criminalizing it.

Many things are illegal not because a law has been passed against it, but because something seemed bad, was brought before a judge, and the judge made a judgment that set a precedent. That's what is called common law.

Having a law created is a separate way that things can become illegal. That's what is called statutory law.

Not all countries have common law.
Source? 35 feels realllly young, but I guess it depends on what’s considered an “average” alcoholic. If someone is spending their entire day drinking string liquors everyday, I can maybe see that.
I wouldn't really say that Philip K. Dick relied heavily on his visions.

He was a prolific writer well before he had his visions. You could say he used visions as source material, but I think it is more accurate to way the he used writing to try to make sense out of his visions.

Generally, doing things in moderation is way better than going to extremes.
Drinking moderately as a culture may be correlated with eating moderately, exercising moderately, etc.

In any case it has always seemed clear to me that studies showing beneficial effects of moderate alcohol consumption are heavily influenced by some combination of paying interest-groups and the researchers really wanting to justify a daily beer/wine glass.

The clearest evidence for me that a glass a day can not possibly be healthy is the effect just a single glass has on athletic performance the next day.

For the record I do drink and have for a long time, but have no illusions about the negative effects.
The ERCOT maket is stupidly designed - it excluded demand from shed load from pricing calculations. This caused the price of electricity to drop to a point where it was uneconomical for many gas power plants to operate (because of the high spot price of gas)

The immediate ramp to the $9000 cap was designed to alleviate this. Yes, it's boneheaded, but I imagine any other manual override of the algorithm would have taken longer to get people to agree to.

The conclusion I keep coming to is that so many free market maximalists are absolutely terrible at designing markets.
> My Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and S2 are still working.

My Galaxy S4 and Note 4 were working quite fine ~18 months later, but only technically. They were aggravatingly slow and I was factory-resetting them each every 3 months, also rooted them and de-bloated them quite thoroughly. This rejuvenated them for a while but then some mere 1-2 months later they were back to a crawl.

We can throw anecdotal evidence around until the end of time but to say older Samsung are working only applies in very strict dictionary terms and not what an average user would find acceptable (f.ex. various functions were routinely taking 2-3 seconds before the device responded). Several acquaintances had the same experiences.
They probably should have kept it there, everyone has already ascertained that the 6500 XT is a big disappointment.
