I've had the same, but in the opposite direction -- and then back again -- from hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Over a much longer time period (several hours). Craziest thing I have ever experienced.

Basically, when you have hypoglycemia, you lose "fine" things first, and you sort of lose things in order, from "fine" (picking things up, balancing, seeing small details) towards "coarse" (talking, walking) and then of course to very "coarse" things, like being able to wake up/see.

And the physical symptoms are exactly mirrored by the mental symptoms. "fine" mental things are like the ability to formulate a complex thought with a lot of abstraction: do a math problem, talk about the future or the past, etc. "Coarser things" are like being able to think verbally or interpret the basic meaning of things -- like, what is that thing over there called? Then, you lose extremely "course" things, like being able to reason at all about what is going on in the world around you.

Oddly enough, the last thing that goes is emotion. Emotion is the baseline of how every piece of context is categorized. Things feel good or they feel bad at a level far below anything resembling what they are. At a level below speaking, having distinct thoughts about distinct objects or people, having any sense of time, place, or meaning. Emotion is always there.

It really is impossible to articulate, because words are a complete fiction.

I wish everyone could go through that, because it really makes you realize the fiction of your own "self" as a real thing.
> Eventually, something really bad will happen. The US will get spanked in a war, a regional natural disaster will trigger a famine, etc. At that point, maybe you’ll see some change. But change is slow - the US House passed anti-lynching legislation for like 40 years and it never got out of Senate committee until Lyndon Johnson championed it.

This is literally the best comment I've ever read on this site.
I find it weirdly interesting when people argue that a browser shouldn't have a feature, rather than the feature should be behind a defaults-to-off permission. You're not just saying that you don't want it, you're arguing that no one should want it. You're saying that you don't believe there is any possible reason for the feature to exist, that you will never want it, and that anyone who says they'd like it is wrong.

I suppose that's fine. It's your perogative. I just hope you respect the opinion of other people when they say things you want shouldn't exist.
Seems structured to attract remote workers mostly from other developed countries since you need to be from a place that doesn't need a visa to travel to Iceland. Not sure what this is intended to accomplish considering there's no pathway to permanent residency either.

I have orthostatic hypotension, which doesn't affect me as much since I've gained weight, and I've lost consciousness from standing to quickly up, but sometimes it doesn't all go away. I black out, a moment later I am somewhere, I don't know who I am or where I am, a moment later the rest fills in.

The way I understand it as the blood pressure drops your brain stops to function properly but it might still somewhat function. As blood pressure goes back up more parts of the brain resume normal function but the "functional" state of the brain might still be abnormal. The current state is unstable, especially when new functionality starts to come back online and resume normal behavior, and the state of the brain quickly moves from a unstable state to a more stable normal state.

Not really; esp when the processes and priorities are alike across the company (with exception of few organizations that are experimenting newer processes at any given point in time).

I don't think a single tenured co-worker who, during the pandemic, moved to Airbnb, Uber, Google, Stripe, and heck, even Coinbase, look back fondly upon the management structure they were subject to at Amazon, now that they've seen how other companies in the space are setup.

> Your position is that people should be able to take the law into their own hand, using their own judgement, even if it's flawed judgement

Yes, and if the judgment turns out to be flawed, then punish them accordingly. There are many instances of laws where the legality depends on circumstances bounded by reasonable judgment, such as self defense. I am legally allowed to kill someone if I fear for my life in some circumstances. The judicial system then determines if my fear was justified. Likewise, defending your own property with violence is legal, depending on circumstances and judgments which are validated in court. The case you referenced was obviously poor judgment.

Your original point is that property cannot be morally defended through violence. This is neither the actual law, nor does it make sense from any real world perspective.

> No one .... is on a timeline

If you do not have a timeline for your predictions of financial doomsday, then that by definition means that your predictions are unfalsifiable. Which is the problem there I have trying to bring up this entire time.

It is a big problem, if you are literally saying that no matter how long goes on, without the doomsday happening, then you will just make up an excuse for why the doomsday got delayed.

That is a problem, because then the belief is not falsifiable.

The type sets proposal for Go has already been accepted as part of the generics proposal [0]:

type SignedInteger interface {
~int | ~int8 | ~int16 | ~int32 | ~int64
}

Interfaces that contain type sets are only allowed to be used in generic constraints. However, a future extension might permit the use of type sets in regular interface types:

> We have proposed that constraints can embed some additional elements. With this proposal, any interface type that embeds anything other than an interface type can only be used as a constraint or as an embedded element in another constraint. A natural next step would be to permit using interface types that embed any type, or that embed these new elements, as an ordinary type, not just as a constraint.

> We are not proposing that today. But the rules for type sets and methods set above describe how they would behave. Any type that is an element of the type set could be assigned to such an interface type. A value of such an interface type would permit calling any member of the corresponding method set.

> This would permit a version of what other languages call sum types or union types. It would be a Go interface type to which only specific types could be assigned. Such an interface type could still take the value nil, of course, so it would not be quite the same as a typical sum type.

> In any case, this is something to consider in a future proposal, not this one.

This along with exhaustive type switches would bring Go something close to the sum types of Rust and Swift.

Surely it’s intended to bring people with money to spend to Iceland? What other benefit do Iceland get from remote workers then injecting money into the economy?
We are working in serial. There is limited public attention, government budget and political capital available to regulate these industries. This creates significant opportunity cost.

In order to actually change the world, we need to spend all our efforts stopping the biggest polluters such as chinese industry and fossil fuels. Worrying about smaller problems such as methane or cryptocurrency is a waste of time at best and a malicious distraction at worst.
You don't need devise, so I think it's good it's not included. It used to be that devise was good to use as it had the best practice way to set up the password fields etc. But that has been moved to rails core. It's still worth reading the devise documentation, but I'm so familiar with how it sets things up I can just set it up manually faster than messing around with devise itself.
Well, the reason we have experience at all is because that is being simulated by the brain. For me a more interesting question is how it is being simulated by the brain.

Awesome. I've tried MeiliSearch and it is very easy to set up and use. It works very well for less than a million of data.

Well, one thing is that enums are non-frozen by default, so you have to actively tag it as `frozen` if you want to put yourself in a scenario where you're never allowed to add cases.

When clients use `switch` on a non-frozen enum from outside its defining module, Swift emits a warning if they don't have an `@unknown default:` case... so consumers of your enum will have to have default logic for handling new cases in order to avoid this warning. (Not for frozen enums though, for frozen ones it's enough to just cover the known cases in calling code, since the expectation will be that you can't update them.)

So basically, if you don't bother thinking much about the problem, you can just avoid adding `frozen` and you'll probably get reasonable behavior where you can add more cases later. Using `frozen` should only be the case if there is some sort of logical impossibility for there to be more cases. Something like how `Optional` has .some and .none, but it's pretty obvious that nobody's going to go add a new case to it (what would a new case even mean?) Same with Result, and probably a bunch of other types I can't think of at the moment.

Also worth noting that Swift treats intra-library code very differently than code that links from another library... if you use your own enums in your own module and don't make them public, it treats them as if they're always frozen... which is nice because it's your internal code and you can always update your own usages without having to worry about compatibility.
I think weeder courses aren't really about teaching rigor. If you want someone to know something rigorously then have them study it for 2-3 semesters or something like that. And give them lots of chances to practice the various skills. Like my math professors said, if you know how to do something one way then that's ok - maybe you have some idea of what's going on with it. But if you know how to do something two ways, then you definitely have a better idea than just knowing one way to do it. The more ways you can approach the same problem and come up with a solution the deeper your understanding.

Weeder courses are more like an obstacle course or the (perhaps: literal) obstacles in the collegiate course. Lab techs that give you slightly wrong ingredients or technically the right ingredients if you knew some trick. Math problems that require some trick to prove or otherwise shoot you down 8-12 hours of grind with no solution. Or just giving the student a large matrix to calculate the determinate of without a calculator. Or marking -10% (out of 100%) for each, individual grammar mistake.
We just launched Flightcontrol[1] last month which provides the DX of Heroku (arguably better actually), but deploys all the resources to your own AWS account.

Git push to deploy fargate containers + automatic CDN + easy custom domains + auto https + multiple services per environment.

Coming soon is databases, private workers, static sites, and multi service preview environments.

We set up everything with best practices using VPCs, etc. We link directly to AWS services from our dashboard, but you don't have to know anything about devops.

If any of you try it out, I'd love any feedback you have for us!

> there is only one brain that has my FPV consciousness. Why this particular one?

to me, the answer is because you were born with that one.

Maybe it's better to think about how your FPV consciousness didn't exist prior to your birth. It came into being when you came into being. I don't think there's a separation between your FPV consciousness and physical brain. If your metabolism stops your FPV consciousness stops

The corporations are emitting to supply consumers because emitting is often a cheaper way to supply consumers.

The solution isn't to not supply consumers, it is to supply them in a more sustainable way.

In some cases this may not be possible, but in many cases it is. We shouldn't push to destroy our quality of life, we should push to make it sustainable.

This can only happen through regulation, because as a consumer, you can't really choose to pay 10% more to get e.g. a laptop where the aluminium was smelted using renewable energy.
Korea is a fantastic place to live. The food is amazing, the country itself is beautiful, and the people are very welcoming (at least when I was there about a decade ago). The only issue is that outside of Seoul not a lot of people speak English, so you would need to learn a bit of basic Korean.

Its basically an urbanist's dream come true, with mega tall apartment complexes even in backwater villages. Right next to single family homes, right next to hilly forested areas where you can hike. There is excellent transit so you don't need to own a car (although a lot of people still do).

There is the possibility of being caught in a nuclear hellfire though. So... YMMV.

I've often gotten a cold sore after a virus, I always just assumed it was probably that immunity is a bit wonky after an infection. In fact I think "cold sore" is so called exactly because a cold can set it off. I'd be extremely surprised if Covid was any different, if for no other reason than many colds are also coronaviruses.

Also to add a data point, 7 of the first 10 results for "herpes covid" from a UK IP are papers about it, including the first 5. The NHS page comes in at result 7, one is (allegedly) a science news website, and number 10 is a general news website.

There are a lot of applications that are surprising. I’ve scanned for salmon farmers (is that the term?) who want to check they are breeding good fish and are looking at spine alignment.

I’ve scanned logs for forestry managers who want to look at something in their trees.

I’ve scanned old hearts that have been sitting in formalin for decades.

All are probably better at higher field strength but maybe some of that can be compensated for by scanning for longer? A log isn’t going to move, and a dead fish scan is likely only limited by the time it takes for it to rot.

I’d be scared of scanning unknown things, it might be a low field MRI, but it’s still a big magnet.

Well, it's not totally shut down. But it definitely didn't reach its potential. It would have been nice if it could have been the foundation for (at least more easily) developing your own things like messaging and file storage. Like if it served as the identity-basis and for confirming keys that protocols like Signal use, or as a secure layer over a Dropbox-alike, particularly on mobile.

I don't think there was ever an API for mobile devices to use with the app, so while you could build those things on a desktop you couldn't on mobile devices. And their file storage only went halfway on mobile (iOS at least). You could view files, but not open them in other applications. I used it for storing org-mode files (and other things) that had some private content and accessing it on other devices. Great if it's two PCs, I can visit the files in emacs. Useless for mobile.
StumbleUpon. Every click brought you to a different website, depending on your preferences and voting.

The Infinite Scroll Algorithm used in today's TikTok/Facebook/Reddit is similar, but too sterile because it's all hosted in the same place and hence subject to roughly the same community constraints.

StumbleUpon separated the recommendation engine from the hosting, which I find a lot more valuable. Unfortunately I think there are not enough interesting and independent websites around anymore for that.
Not really as big a deal as people are making it out to be. Iceland allows 90 day tourist stays, this simply doubles it to 180 days. Everything else is the same.

In fact, if my options are to just jump on a plane without any thought and go for a 0-3 month trip vs file a ton of paperwork, get approved and go for a 3-6 month trip, I'll probably pick the former.
