Creating your own tincture is the way. I was able to buy 2 lbs of CBD flower for 60usd, because I bought in bulk. I don't even know what to do with all that.
Like 0.001% of the population understands EPA/DHA. If they did, the average IQ would be significantly raised, and we wouldn't be nearly as sick.
>Anyway, I don't think anyone needs an excuse to get high, lol.

What does that have to do with the conversation about CBD which does not get you high?
> It aligns incentives too: developers are strongly incentivized to keep existing users happy, rather than ignoring them and constantly chasing the next new sale.

Alternately it incentivizes vendor lock-in. If you can't keep users happy, why not keep their data hostage instead?
You can construct all sorts of artificial theoretical risks. There's no evidence of that being a real risk with this particular data set.
1. no its not, no security fixes or new features are being developed, its entirely on life support: the changes are to just keep it limping along while distros finish transitions to wayland. https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2022-January/060...

2. the article is about them abusing a gnome only API when alternatives existed that would have worked better. WLR had its first commits for its desktop portal api in 2018, gnome has had some form of the desktop portal api for 8 years now.

if you're going to use a DE only API at least use the right fucking one.

I think this Reddit comment from a use called TheMagecite on parenting during the pandemic might get to some of it:
"No.

So lets take my example I have two children one has autism.

What my son desperately needs is social interaction, how do you teach social interaction well without peers? He can't see other children and right now he has such limited exposure to other children he is about to start school and it is a nightmare.

While my son is brilliant in some ways and could read and write at age 3 however his social skills and general understanding are just so far behind. Due to the pandemic normally there would be spots in a special class but so many kids who would have normally progressed just have gone backwards has meant there are zero spots for my child. It also has meant all of the therapies which make the world of difference (and earlier intervention the better) have either been canceled or moved to remote which is no where near as good.

I used to take my son out every weekend and get exposure to kids or take him to water parks and just have fun with them. Now we are sheltered at home with very little to do and we crack out board games but the ipad has probably been his main entertainer. I have work and we have other children but we do make sure it is educational stuff but we still feel tremendous guilt.

I work, we have other children and well while everyone says we have managed to do an amazing job during the pandemic as my son has still progressed which is different from what most other children in his situation have done. My partner and I feel horrible and honestly we are just completely burnt out. We could have done more, we should have done more but I think depression and being burnt out has just fucked us.

I fucking hate myself for this and I probably will feel guilty the rest of my days. I am sick of being told we have done an amazing job considering. Considering Covid doesn't help my child.

This just SUCKS.

Also my child's experience with Autism is probably better than most. I feel horrible for the vast majority which have it worse than me and I can't imagine what they are going through."

Edit: added more context to the comment.
Same over here! Only difference is that with our IDs/certs you usually have a visible cert block on the PDFs. You can get it to be invisible somehow, but that's a bit of a hassle.

But yes, anything that's not a proper digital signature might as well just be a random png pasted into a pdf. No legal binding power whatsoever.
I agree it doesn’t really address the problem. But it brings visibility. And what that little bit of visibility shows is kind of terrifying.
Customers are more important than either. They solve both problems.
“Continually” is a pretty strong word for one change.

> Sorry, no can do. If that's the contract than C is a completely useless language.

That is the contract. Your inference may be correct, but it does no good to insist that C should behave differently than it does. There are better options.
OK. Prove me wrong? How about at least an attempt at offering a counterpoint with cited sources?

EDIT: (added all this word soup)

In my non-scientific opinion, which is purely anecdotal, a while ago, back when ivermectin was a thing, there's was high overlap between the people excited about it and those with no grasp of common sense, let alone science. To my eyes, the same people were afraid of bill gates microchipping them and evil Jewish space lasers. This is my first hand lived experience.

> What an ignorant and stupid-ass thing to say, and the only reason for saying it is a consumption of crap from mainstream media outlet.

That response sucks -- you can do better. I'll help you, I'm pro-science and pro-discourse.

Instead of offering your own guess as to what motivates my thoughts (which is both incorrect, and makes you look dumb, lol), what you want to do instead say something appealing to reason, with content. Something like:

"I don't think you should lump ivermectin in with those injecting bleach. Though ridiculed by many, there's some reason to suspect it may be useful. For example, did you know that there was $STUDY and $STUDY that showed $INTERESTING_RESULT, published in $RESPECTED_JOURNAL?"

But then you'd have to find values for those variables, and good luck with that.

Much of the misinformation on ivermectin draws on sparse low-quality studies, including studies that were later retracted and one that was rife with fraud. One of the key studies (to the ivermectin delusion) not only has blatant plagiarism, but also "they had reported the study as starting on the eighth of June. And they included a number of patients who had died before that date". :P Once you catch something like that, are you gonna still believe the study? Which, by the way, was never actually published in a peer reviewed journal, just posted as a preprint!

Source: https://www.sideeffectspublicmedia.org/coronavirus/2021-12-0...

Notice how I was able to back up my central assertion "ivermectin people are believing in nonsense" with a motivating *actual reason* "the papers they are basing their opinions on are of low quality, unpublished, non-peer reviewed, and below any sensible standard of quality" and that I can even *cite a source*?

Do that instead of what you did. :)

Also, I can't help but laugh at the notion of "mainstream media" as an insult. :D Like, "Oh, I don't trust those fools at the BBC, or the Reuters cabal. I get all MY facts exclusively from my neighbor Bob and his facebook group."
how do you define “high functioning”?
Sry i didn't mean to insult you, of course your country has greatly participated in war crimes as well :D

Same. You don't need a camera, you can doodle a signature with a mouse and it's fine. I bought a house this way with no trouble.

It's funny to me to look at a company like DocuSign whose shares surged early on the in the pandemic because they expected a dramatic increase in need for digital signatures and then the price crashed when it turns out that signatures aren't actually useful and we can just live without them.
The good ones love the tip system. They get the most tips, and also tend to be the types of people recruited to the higher prices restaurants where higher tips are normal. They draw in repeat customers for their great service.

I used to know a waitress who was making just as much as her engineer husband. She looked good for 55, but 55 will never look good enough to draw in many high tips based on looks. (good lucks is a factor in service to a lot of people, but it didn't apply here)

The bad ones get bad tips and hate the system, but they should be fired anyway.

On the one hand I don't like having to figure tips. However a few times I've got bad service and at least I could do something about it.

0.1% of studies in the econ field are replication studies.

58% (quite high, higher than a lot of biology related field) are positive replications.

But! some of those use the same datasets, with different time bases, and most are narrow replication of high impact studies.

Also, economics now is not a singular field, and I'd bet gp was talking about macroeconomics. You could be more charitable.
Do you have separate numbers for Spotify for paying accounts vs free ones?

It looks like a stream by a free account makes less money, which draws the average down. However that ends up being a higher total than if that free stream didn’t exist. And also it would mean that those numbers aren’t useful for choosing between services for a paying customer.
I did a master's thesis using Word, and my thesis advisor got on to me about not taking advantage of all the Word features like styling and proper page-breaking, etc. A few years later I published a book using Word and my publisher demanded that I not use any of the Word "gimmicks" like styling and page-breaking.

My first night in Tokyo with a group of friends, we had an amazing multi-hour meal with loads of drinks and generally catching up. We knew we didn't have to, but we tipped generously by American standards. We got chased into the street by two of the waiters and had a large argument with neither side wanting to take the tip money. I assumed tips would be "not expected, but quietly accepted" which turned out to be not at all the case.

I don't remember them saying that - perhaps I'll rewatch. The amount they say causes a reduction was when giving 80,000 UI in a single dose because your body then initiates a process to break it down. Years ago a naturopath told me to load up via 20,000 UI for a few days and then do 10,000 UI. Obviously each person is different and why you need blood work to check.
Ah so there is, thanks! I suppose at the time I wasn't so interested (I have a calculator) but by the end of the post I wanted to see it all come together, and unless I missed that too there isn't a link there.
Amusing to see people starting with odd digits so much. You're going to have to use an odd digit in every guess, so you can more efficiently explore the space by going after all the even digits first with 24683.
Between the client and the SOCKS5 proxy? Of course using the SSH SOCKS proxy will encrypt data, I was rather thinking to a plain SOCKS5 proxy. Are there clients and servers supporting SOCKS-level encryption between the client and the proxy? I didn't see that possibility the last time I've read the SOCKS standard (but it was a few years ago).
I've only ever seen this policy applied to large parties, and it's below the standard tip percentage anyway.

1. Even if what you were saying was true (which it is not, even your own link is just showing that bugs and regressions are still being fixed), the distros who are shipping have commited to decades of security updates.

2. "The right fucking" Gnome-exclusive API is, obviously, Gnome-exclusive, and just didn't work for me for the reasons I mentioned in my original message, and probably didn't for them either (my guess because they have a custom H264 encoder for latency/licensing reasons). The "less-Gnome-specific" XDG portal API, Pipewire-based, wasn't really usable when the distro is not even packaging Pipewire.

My go-to conferencing solution is still Jitsi Meet and I am well aware of how crazy the entire situation is, even for browsers.
UB problems happen only when compilers detect it, understand it is an opportunity for optimization, because they are allowed to do anything, then do that optimization. When compiler can't detect UB, it actually works as expected: when integers overflow they do exactly that and nothing else, when null pointers are dereferenced they do exactly that and nothing else, when uninitialized memory is read it does exactly that and nothing else.
> Is talking to hardware so much different than talking to APIs?

It depends. If your hardware is behind a bus or controller device that's serviced by a separate driver, then you're using APIs of that bus/controller driver.

But think of having to talk to the TCP/IP stack using system calls - you are using an API but you'll still need to have some structure just beyond moving data back and forth over a bus. A USB mass storage driver is going to need different data moving over the USB interface than a USB network interface driver.

Different buses work differently as well - USB device addressing is different than SATA or PCI-E device addressing.

If you are really talking directly to a device, you're manipulating registers, bits, ports, etc. You may have to involve IRQs, etc. Your serial port, for example, can hold 16 bytes before it generates an IRQ to tell the CPU it has data if it's a 16550 I think. Your SATA interface doesn't work like that, it can actually DMA data directly to memory. But both of these could be streamable devices to an operating system.
Self-handicapping is a huge effect, I’m surprised we don’t see it more frequently discussed in tech. This effect is really about creating a narrative and identity for ourselves. People attempt things and fail all of the time. If we put too much of our ego into the attempt it can be emotionally devastating when failure happens. So we protect ourselves by crafting alternative narratives. “If I succeed then great, but if I fail it’s because i choose to […]”. You are more likely to accomplish your goal if you put yourself fully into it, and the more you feed alternative narratives the less successful you’ll be. The way to live is to be fully committed and focused on your goals, and to have good skills on knowing how to recover from failure when that occurs.

[some definitional text]
The purpose of self handicapping is to protect your self identity. “I could have x, but I didn’t because of y” is the narrative story. I could have gotten an A on the exam but I didn’t because I partied instead of studied is a classic example. For it to be true self-handicapping y needs to be a choice.

I do think the categorization takes a little getting used to but once you do it’s fairly trivial.

It’s also important to recognize the horizontal categorizations within each ribbon, something that can easily be missed until you know about it.

I don't think any of this is excellent news. I'm sure the beep can be easily dismantled, we've been through that with the required camera sound nonsense. And security/privacy conscious people keep Bluetooth and NFC off for security/privacy reasons.
I guess the core problem is the false advertising. Zoom "supports" Wayland-only distros... with the fine print that they only support outdated builds from before the switch to Wayland.

Aside from that, my only complaint is that Zoom is unavoidable and thus the lowest common denominator. If Zoom doesn't work with your window system, you're forced to give up and change... even if it's the only piece of software in your entire system that isn't up to the job. Being forced to jump through hoops like that when you're using a common and modern system configuration is a sign of a poorly supported product and something users should rightfully complain about.
I think you are over-estimating the use of caching in a lot of industries and a lot of companies. Further, a company that aggressively caches static files should also recognize the benefits of caching their most common database queries. Another replier to my comment mentioned his Air Canada point totals. The original post is about American Airlines. Point balances change infrequently. An airline could easily query every active customer (had a point balance change within the past 6 months) every 6 hours and keep all those values in memory, dramatically reducing individual DB queries. Or not, and instead choose to sue a very popular blogger and builder of a tool used by your best customers, pissing everybody off and looking extremely petty and customer-unfriendly in the process.
The part about the startup performance of WASM being good - yeah, nah. It's another bytecode language, much like LLVM IR, so it needs at least one compile pass, like Java/.NET does. I wouldn't be surprised if Python/JS beat it in this metric in interpreted mode. It's a far cry from mmap-ing a binary blob, and jumping to the entry point.
The primary use case is addressing situations where wet ink signatures are required by a party to a transaction without having to print, sign, and scan a document.

Yes, it is an odd combination of legacy (sometimes regulatory) requirements and modern technology, but there are numerous situations where only wet ink signatures are accepted, and “digital signatures” are not accepted—even though the document is stored in a digital format.

Wet ink signatures are most commonly required in finance / investment / banking transactions. They are sometimes required for B2B transactions. While not as common in the US as in other countries, you can also run into requirements where documents must be signed via wet ink signature under seal (or stamp). Scanning a document with a signature line that has been embossed with a company seal looks somewhat comical and arguably legible (especially if the scan is done with a feed-through scanner) but is required to get business done sometimes.
No, he wouldn't be. You make a good point but even still, I have seen software engineers struggle to do anything outside of the well-worn groove that they've been riding in for the last 20 years.
Indeed. It needs to be heated for 30 seconds, then "stirred", heating again, etc., and the temperature needs to be limited. We had one catch fire, but we patched it and it's good to go again.

I still prefer them over hot water containers. We have some that are floppy and flexible, ideal for wrapping around the back of the neck and over the shoulders.

Weed is great for enhancing consumption, but pretty terrible at any kind of production .

A play a few games of online chess most days, and you can tell if I'm smoking by my chess rating. There is obviously a big hit when stoned, but more interestingly is it takes a few days abstinence to fully recover and play at the previous level.

The Beatles used to ban weed from creative writing sessions where any kind of decision making was involved, but enjoyed it copiously during listening sessions.

I love practicing piano stoned, but if want to make any kind of progress, a clean mind is key.

So yes of course it can be enjoyed responsibly. But I highly doubt anybody who smokes doesn't take a performance hit, no matter how creative the activity is or otherwise.
> Can you still compile gcc code with -O0 (gcc option to turn optimization off) to get completely defined behavior?

No. The standard specifies what's undefined, optimization levels don't change it (though there are compiler flags such as -fwrapv which make undefined things defined).

However, turning off optimizations will make behavior easier to predict.
> Someone somewhere had to have created this new social norm.

Someone didn't need to do anything and as far as I know, no individual decreed anything. (Although possibly guidebook and etiquette writes have helped contribute.)

It makes some sense with inflation and probably lack of increase in wait staff salaries. Restaurants often show recommended tips and even mandatory service adders for large groups. But, for the most part, it's probably been mostly organic.
Enforcing consistent choices for things that don’t matter is most of the value of a code style linter. In fact “things that don’t matter” is not a bad definition of “code style”.

There are multiple contributing factors. After defaulting on a loan after a dispute with the lender any large amount is automatically removed from my bank account. As a result I live primarily with cash and only put money in the bank to pay bills. This is a situation created by current bank and lending regulations.
I know quite a few businesses that leveraged themselves with CMBS to refinance during the mid to late 2010s whose debt service coverage ratio are about to go below the agreed upon threshold because of rising labor costs.

They borrowed money and gave up the business and land as collateral in exchange for some frothy valuations and limiting personal liability, but the terms are that if they exceed their DSCR, they enter default.

And when we have daily starship launches that will be great, but we aren't there yet. Hopefully some people are thinking how they could design mass produced satelites to perform this type of detection and the best way to build such a network (thinking outside the box // low earth orbit assuming low cost launches)

But ultimately prices will have to drop far more than that to be cheaper to build an orbiting telescope rather than one on the ground for most requirements.
