MDMA and the party/festival scene in general definitely changed me for the better in this sense. I hold those experiences in high regard, and strongly believe that substances can shift your perspective and create real change in your life for the better, if done responsibly.

I will also note that every substance comes with risk, and the best way to reduce that risk is to learn and know as much as you can about the substance and how it affects you. A lot of the general education around drugs is simply "don't do it", but there are plenty of reliable non-biased resources out there. A couple off the top of my head are:

I learned Haskell. This opened the doors to all sorts of social opportunities. See https://www.haskell.org/community/
The mention of prison is a cue to link PG's Nerds essay:

http://www.paulgraham.com/nerds.html

That essay was my first exposure to PG/YC/HN. At the time I was old enough that it felt like someone clearly articulating my past rather than giving me guidance for the future. I think I would have found it comforting in the 80s if it had been written then.
You can build Kotlin (including Kotlin.js) with Bazel: https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_kotlin
I want to share some thoughts on this.

Firstly, good work on joining the gym. If you can afford it, get yourself a qualified personal trainer at least once a week. They will correct your technique, introduce you to other people in the gym, and act as a role model for social situations. Additionally, time in the gym with another person (trainer or friend) is positively associated with mental health benefits over time.

> The discomfort gets to the point where I blush

One of my most important learnings in new social situations was to not listen to my body. Blushing and sweating are physiological reactions. At the very worst, if you grind through it, your body will eventually give up and return to normal function after 15 minutes. With repeated exposure, your fight/flight mechanisms will temper down and learn the new normal. Having said that, sometimes I will take a 'smoke break' from social situations to go reduce my body temperature outside.

> My voice changes, my posture changes, everything changes.

My second most important learning is "be like dog". Dogs approach strangers and introduce themselves. They are interested in their new friend and listen to everything they have to say. If they could talk, they would be asking for more details, and complimenting their friend on their great choices. The key point here is that they are not waiting for permission to be themselves, sincerity is the default.

With respect to other commenters re: ecstasy, it is true that you may experience an entirely new mental / social state while under the influence. Making a friend for life in 30 minutes gives you some perspective on "normal speed" social interactions. Just make sure you remember that your mental state is altered: I attended raves for a year before I realised that I didn't like them, but the drug was making it impossible for me to have a bad time. There is also the chance that the drugs are cut with other substances, the risk of frying your brain, the risk of derailing into a junky. You should always have a non-negotiable end date after which you will stop using forever. And unlike what some other commenter said, MDMA != meth, never ever touch that stuff.

As a final comment, when I was younger I fell into the trap of reading Tucker Max, followed by 'The Game' by Neil Strauss, and then went down the rabbit hole into pickup artist forums. I strongly advise against this stuff. Pickup artist routines work (for social and romantic situations), but I found them deeply unsatisfying and nihilistic. These frameworks rely on impersonating a character rather than being yourself. There are useful tricks (in any social framework) for getting people to like you, but at the core you want people to like you for your true (and hopefully lovely) personality.
> one can hardly hold up Lichtenstein as the geopolitical equal to California

Why not?
About a year and a half ago, I acknowledged how negatively some reflexive social media habits impacted my life and managed to extricate myself from them. A year or two before that realization I installed TikTok to see what the fuss was about, checked out the stream for a few minutes, looked up at the clock to realize it had actually been about two hours, and immeditealy uninstalled the app.

Astonishingly good attention and interest manipulation. Terrifyingly good, in fact. I don't moralize about getting lost in trash entertainment, but there's a significant swath of the population for which this format combined with these design patterns is a big problem.
Those companies do not track and save private search information about every human on the planet.

Google can affect what every human thinks about anything, because they control the worlds information.

Nobody really understood the full power of a search engine that becomes a near monopoly until it happened.
Skinning media players was one of the ways I got into graphic design (and became a software developer as a result). It was a ton of fun as a kid! I wonder if kids these days have anything like it. You sure can’t skin Spotify or Apple Music.
What tells you I wanted people to believe I were these things? I did guitar because it was nice to sing, and the idea of singing around a bonfire and maybe making people sing was just a good feeling. I sang the last song of a friend who died from cancer, and that was a song we had written together. He went for his last sleep on it, that’s the best departure I could imagine for him. Unfortunately, I plateaued at some level, like probably everyone does, so it became boring and annoying to not progress. It doesn’t mean I wasn’t guitar.

Anyway I don’t understand what women are looking for, that’s why I’m getting downvoted.
I got older I guess.
Writing to disk and the tyranny of small things
IIRC it’s among the first things they onboard you about. It’s also in the share menu, you should have seen it if you ever tried to download or share a video, or create a duet, or something. Long press is just an easy way to bring it up. Given the percentage of people commenting on TikTok threads who’ve never used it, “first time I heard about it” doesn’t mean much.
Thanks. I enjoyed the article you linked. I think the description on page 16 is a good summary of what most people working in foundations take the purpose of foundations to be.

> The shoe salesmen didn’t directly charge for use of the x–ray fitting machines, but they did recoup their costs out of the shoe sales. Either by increasing the price of every pair of shoes by a small amount, or just by selling additional shoes (due to the novelty factor, or because it genuinely saved time allowing them to sell more shoes in a day).

Well sure, that's why they were saying the price should be capped at a pair of shoes, not literally free.

And while a few minutes of a doctor's time costs more than a salesman, the entire materials costs of the shoes goes away. It seems like a reasonable benchmark.
> A hit-and-run incident in Melbourne yesterday could set a legal precedent for the use of autonomous driving technologies in Australia.

There is no precedent to be set. If you are behind the wheel of a car you are responsible for it's operation. 'Autopilot' or not. And hard to say it was the autopilot's fault for driving off and returning to the police station two hours later.
Unfortunately I don't have an institutional login, or else I would be able to comment better. :(

But it sounds to me from the abstract like the result is not significantly different from the thermal noise voltage on a resistor? I don't expect that they would be able to extract any work from the system, unless there is a temperature difference somewhere.
Who cares what people in the industry think affordable housing should look like. If it were up to them we would be living in storage units.

Make it illegal for corporations to own single/dual family residential property. Boom. Done. End the corporate landlord.

Residential property owners don't go scooping up empty factories and strip malls when the market is down.
I (reluctantly) agree with pron as well. Kotlin's push to become a multi-platform language -- and escape the JVM -- has taken years, and seems far from 'production ready'. Unfortunately, the facets of Kotlin that most people use and care about like language design, ergonomics, Gradle, coroutines, etc., seem to have suffered as a result of this. In the beginning they were running laps around Java with functional and quality-of-life improvements; in recent years, they've kept up with Java (sealed interfaces, records) while adding a few improvements; Loom and pattern matching will be coming to Java in the near future, and I'm worried it will be a while until Kotlin catches up.
Until we have a carbon tax.
The issue is capitalism removes the ability for "competition" except as something to either fear or "buy out" - why can't there be multiple copy stores or photo printers in a small town? If one is too busy to get your stuff done, perhaps the other isn't? No one has any issue with 5 barbers or hairdressers or whatever in a town.

I dunno. Competition is good for the consumer, it's really bad for a business that's trying to please shareholders, be they public shareholders or private, as in the owner.
They public stated that a reason why Kotlin exists is to sell licenses.

Age doesn't guarantee wisdom. Kids today get tattoos on their face, they arn't trying to hide them.

Which is to say. They are going to do things, new things, that don't make sense to us... Im not claiming to 'get it', but i get that they are going to do new stuff that confuses me.

Older folks claiming to have wisdom, and shaking a finger at the kids is as old as history.
I think chasing after 'Pretty UI' in the web have resulted in making customers falsely equate pretty/shiny UI with high quality/reputation. Then the software developer have no other choice but to replicate the same web UI/UX on the computer with a browser engine based GUI system like electron.

OP, Me and many others here probably wouldn't mind an immediate mode GUI for an app on their computer which consumes very less memory as we know what electron does, But an average consumer couldn't care less about what electron is as long as the software does what it's supposed to do.

Then again it didn't start with electron, Java GUI applications would make 32GB memory machine crawl like 4GB anyways. Just run couple of IntelliJ sessions for few days and Linux would suddenly kill Java, IntelliJ, XServer and thereby GNOME shell with it for good measure.
Another one that died silently is Winamp. Oh man, I still remember those funky Winamp skins from the early 2000s.
HN is full of commercials. Some days the ratio of commercial to content is worse than other social media.
We are currently hosting Ukrainian refugees and one of them was suddenly struggling to breathe. We brought her to the hospital two days ago and they made her sign a single sheet that says "you can request the social services on my behalf". Since then she's been transferred to another hospital, has been CT scanned and they did at least a dozen different tests on heart, lungs, etc. all it took was a few hours of waiting and the power of Google translate to make her be understood. We expect that she will not have to pay a single Euro.

Honestly I don't even need to tell you which country that is as that's what I would expect in any western or northern European country (except maybe Switzerland, which is its own capitalist hellscape).

The US is still the richest country in the world. That you are suffering is not needed. It is not a necessary feature of the system. It's a policy choice.
You can't possibly believe the model that population grows until food is depleted at the margin, it's obviously wrong.
Yes. Honestly the “algorithm” should just be your followers’ latest status updates chronologically - but there’s no accidental or hyped up ad clicks in that.
W. Curtis Preston, author of the O'Reilly book "Backup and Recovery" has said:

> Backups are useless. Restores are priceless.

I also like:

> The state of a backup is unknown and unknowable, until such time as it has been tested with a restore.
Economists do not cite Malthus either.
I came here specifically to recommend that book. It helped me understand a few more words in this article.
Indeed and they aren't shy about it.

If it wasn't for Google giving wind to their sails, the Kotlin ship wouldn't have gone anywhere.
This comment contains no advice. It just tells that all the tracks I’ve tried are wrong/not useful (in your books, at least).
Even on the Java ecosystem, Gradle is only appealing for those that never had to fix Ant builds.
One thing I learnt when programming long time ago was that having an abstraction for things fundamentally different wasn't a good idea. I was looking for an abstraction that would make tcp and udp look the same, but I wanted the benefit of udp on udp and tcp on tcp.

If you think about ui in OSes, they are different, quite a bit. Still similar in some way, but different.

Given that, one solution when you have similar things that are actually different (e. g. PS3 and PS5 are both consoles that run videogames, from the same company, but are incompatible),is to ship a vm. Make things run there and use it.

Chromium is that VM.
I think it is like licorice, some say they love it but I can't imagine why anyone would want to eat it as the taste is so overwhelming and horrible.
Curious what makes Raylib good for emulators? I’m genuinely interested in this.
It's a rather dishonest title for a take down article.
Why waste money and be based in SF as a non profit? you'd better live elsewhere and have more fund for your mission

> Use our library of support and referral links (provided as single pages or div blocks)

Maven yes, Gradle is just Ant in disguise.
What exactly is the problem with this? How is it different from C#? Or even Java ?
There's a difference between saying hey, it'd be cool if you move to cities and intentionally increasing the prices of raw materials people use (like gas prices in california) and preventing the development of projects which make those things cheaper. Implementing policies that say hey fuck you and the way that you're living and pretending its the only way forward generally doesn't win people over.

When the prices of basic necessities increase people affected by the price increases don't usually think to themselves, well gee! I'll just move to those wonderful cities I've heard so much about full of those people who I have nothing in common with culturally. It's not like there's mutual distrust and is totally gonna be such a great time!
They don't owe anybody anything.
Only in some domains, if you do anything in graphics or GUI related, be prepared to be a contributor to the ecosystem.
This, on it's face, seems like the proper way to deal with it, but what about 40 somethings that have actually struggled to buy and renovate multiple properties because "passive income, or whatever" - in order to shield themselves eventually someone is going to recommend an LLC or incorp, and handing the responsibilities of the day to day off to another, third party entity for management.

Where do you draw the line?

I think landlords are an archaic remnant of the past that refuses to let go. I haven't self-resolved my thoughts on whether or not it's ethical to have property you don't, yourself use. In my opinion, it's complex, ethically. Ideally we wouldn't need landlords or apartments or anything (hey 37% of the workforce in the US could "easily" work remotely! what about th) - but since they exist, I'm in agreement. "holding land" should be frowned upon.
Gmail is the easiest to replace by far. You can copy everything to Fastmail in hours and be done.
> This is trying to paint someone as being stubborn here after they already changed their mind

I just pointed it out because as I said, this behaviour is fairly common on the GNOME issue tracker. There are numerous instances but for now, the Inter font issue comes to mind

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/2331

> GTK_THEME is mainly a setting for developers, you should probably not be using that

Well, this is new information because this blog post

https://blogs.gnome.org/alatiera/2021/09/18/the-truth-they-a...

and everyone else I've talked to seems to be presenting GTK_THEME as one of the options for changing themes for GTK4 apps, which is absurd user experience, to say the least.

> It has all the same issues as the tweak tool where it's unreliable and some apps may not function correctly with some themes or may not respect the setting at all.

Now I'm wondering if this information was intentionally withheld in that blog post.

> In almost every case when I've seen people complain about the default theme it's because of fixable bugs in the theme that upstream wants fixed.

What if I disagree with basic choices like the dark mode background color? The contrast between the background and text in dark mode is too high for me and I get halation in my eyes within a few minutes of reading text inside a GTK app with the dark version of the Adwaita theme.

I'm fairly certain that this issue won't be entertained on their issue tracker and even if it was, I'm not sure I want to subject myself to their behaviour as shown in the link above and the font issue in context.

> a real theming API

that "real" theming API just changes accent colors and wouldn't solve my issue

> Do you expect GTK to try to please everyone by merging all the widgets from libadwaita and libgranite and deprecating those libraries?

If there are no feasible alternatives to develop GTK4 only apps besides creating your own widgets from scratch, the practical outcome would be that most independent developers would end up choosing libadwaita not because they want their apps to be GNOME apps but because it would be relatively harder to not use libadwaita. This can be seen in this comment from the developer of GTKeddit.

Couple that with a rigorous system preventing slumlord abuses, eliminate hoas, federally standardized minimum rental rights that give both landlords and renters recourse and accountability, and a unicorn. The gotcha games allowed by local and state laws (or hoas) in many places are just bonkers.

I suppose. Personally I don’t like this level of tool integration (I don’t like IDEs either); I prefer the pick and choose / best of breed / Unix approach.
I'm not on TikTok (I heard about all the data collection and decided I didnt need another one of those in my life), but it does look interesting and good fun.

That being said, what I notice the most is the speed at which people are able to read the captions. I'm not old at all, mid 20's, but whenever my younger brother shows me a tiktok I have to ask him to pause it so I can read the text, whereas he can watch a 3 second clip with text and understand it in realtime.

Maybe I'm just a bit of a slow reader, entirely possible, but it does seem the next generation is, rightfully so, optimising more so for fast data processing rather than retention. When you have limitless information at your finger tips, you don't so much need to keep all that information as you need to process it very quickly... Or I am just a slow reader.

How does transfer works in case application is sold to another company/developer? I guess process should be similar? anyone has any idea?
I like to try to figure out what I did wrong, and then figure out what positive things I could have done that would have avoided the problem. Then focus on continuing to practice those positive things that will hopefully help me avoid such problems again in the future.

The key here is that there are an infinite number of infinite things that you do not want to have happen, and at any point in time there are a finite number of positive things you do want to have happen. If you waste all your energy focusing on the negative things you do not want, then you will never have any energy to focus on the positive things you do want.
I agree though with your last point. I get a lot of queer content and it's usually very welcome. Though some niches in that subset that focus on discussion of harassment of queer people are much more anxiety inducing.
It's ironic that the guy who makes you sign a TOS before he'll sell you a car is bitching about the Twitter TOS..... on Twitter.

Buying food from farms that get economies of scale would probably be less carbon intensive per unit than individuals tending their own plots. Those farms could also ensure they minimize/offset their own carbon footprints.
Countries can influence their decisions as well. There were cases when some posts were removed per some country officials' request. I have another thing to bring to the table. I heard numerous cases when FB support completely ignored cases. There is even a post on Reddit of a guy, who managed to resolve his case by buying an Oculus gadget. Just recently I heard a case with Upwork. I am trying to understand here, what is this? A corporate policy? A resource shortage? When you buy a car and it is broken, you can go to court and seek resolution there, but when you have a social account with a large user base or an Upwork account that brings you money, where do you go? I am not saying that the social network are going to change something, but at least we deserve some explanation.
Someone who read a lot of porn novels wouldn't be called well read, and someone who watch a bunch of college lectures wouldn't be called a binge watcher. What matters is the content, not the form of the content.

It is just that simple content tend to choose easy to digest mediums, there is not much demand for low effort literature today since people just watch movies instead.
Do you happen to use Java and Kotlin in the same project? This seems to not work well for VSCode when I tried it a while back.
These should be able to; iirc, there was special PALcode (like firmware) for the ones that ran DEC Unix/Tru64/VMS vs. the ones that were setup for NT. The NT Alphas used ARC firmware, a Turbolaser like this one would use DEC SRM.
