So where's the schizophrenia epidemic among pot-smoking hippies? It's had like 50 years to surface, man.

In all seriousness, there are a number of cohorts where this should be showing up with some regularity. Can you point me towards any of them?

All the hippies I know are still out there hippie-ing and living their lives, going to Dead shows, and so on. And, from my experience, they seem to be an unusually vigorous group for being so old.

I was thinking this was a different way of saying the same thing. One has more nutrients. The other has RNA tied to size and development in plants.

Until "protect them from inhibitory effects of phytochemicals present in the honey and beebread" which indeed is something I hadn't heard about until just now.

The fact that they know how to proportionally mix the portions of honey, beebread and royal jelly depending on the prospective adult duties of the larvae and young, puts them on par with some high profile chemists and nutritionists.
First of all, these numbers for the Fukushima cleanup don't make sense. 500B is the annual budget of medicare, or roughly the market cap of a FAANG. Your source appears to be wikipedia, so I looked into it, and their figure is from a scientific american article in which the Japanese government is quoted as saying 15 billion USD for the cleanup and 60 billion USD for relocation damages. Quite a lot of money, but definitely an order of magnitude less than the cost of the earthquake and tsunami themselves. A "private think tank" in Japan then wildly conjectured this number to actually be between 400 billion and 700 billion USD, and for some reason, this is the figure that Wikipedia uses. So, interestingly, I am claiming that this is the same phenomenon as before. This think tank might even be the CATO institute, for all we know.

Second, I said for reliable power. That was sneaky of me, but gas, coal, nuclear, and to some extent hydro, are the only reliable power sources I am aware of. Wind is not completely random, but cannot be relied upon, and solar cannot be run at night. Hydro is reliable, but represents a much bigger population risk than nuclear, with no real possibility of safe failure. I like hydroelectric power, I think it's neat, but it's definitely a sleeping dragon.
There was at least one called "Barcodes and More" offered by HP. I distinctly remember it being plugged into the LaserJet IIIP at my parents' house when I was much younger, but I don't remember anything about how/if it worked.
At Whiteboards.io (https://whiteboards.io) we are simply using React, CSS, DOM, and various ways to exploit the browser performance.

This approach is NOT perfect, but it solves problems like accessibility for example and it keeps us going.

The alternative approach like Pixi.js will work for you, but it effectively means building a browser inside a browser, kind of Adobe Flash type of solution.

IMO it is better to piggy back on the browser mechanics instead of building your own on top of the HTML5 Canvas. The fun fact is that the modern websites like Facebook or news front pages are far more complex and dynamic than pannable and zoomable canvas apps.
Are you sure you're not just making excuses for the failure of renewables in Germany to replace fossil fuels?

Again, I mentioned Germany, but it isn't just Germany. No country in the world is running on wind/solar. There are no near-term plans for any country on Earth to replace fossil fuels with wind/solar. It isn't the fact that some conservative leaders put some extra taxes or regulations on solar and wind. It's that solar and wind cannot actually replace fossil fuels. Solar and Wind are diffuse, intermittent power sources, with no grid-scale battery technology available to bridge that intermittence. Therefore, you need natural gas to use a base load when the sun isn't shining, and the wind isn't blowing. This is also why natural gas companies tend to be one of the biggest supporters of solar and wind.
Dropbox sometimes get's stuck for us (very annoying). We pay for google so have free google drive. We pay for office so have one drive.

We use dropbox as a poor persons collaboration tool. About 100,000 files in 20,000 folders. My major complaint - when it gets stuck syncing a quit on the app and restart of the app solves things - so I wish they would do that internally to the app, just timeout and restart whatever is jamming things up.

I do like the app / folders scoped permissions. For apps that play well there is an apps folder, and the app just has access to its own folder in there. A nice integration point for apps to dump files to for users to look at.
Yea, you definitely don't want people writing e2e tests because it's easier than writing other tests or because there aren't any other tests.

Has anyone found credible research around mean, min, max, average vis-a-vis climate change? Quick search didn't surface anything beyond lots of average temperatures and median forecasts, but less about the distribution of climate.

Docker non-root is some kind of sad twisted joke. The person that jumps through pages of hoops to get that mess working and the person that reaches for Docker in the first place are not the same person. When they say they recommend Ubuntu only, they aren't fucking around. I tried last year on Debian. Never again. I nuked it all and started over with regular root Docker and restored whatever was left of my sanity.

Docker compose is also a bewildering mess of conflicting versions and baffling decisions. With incredibly poor documentation. Try to figure out network_mode without spending hours doing trial-and-error github issues stackoverflow head pounding.

I think the UX is fine if you ignore Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml. But those files are rather atrocious. The Faustian bargain of Docker is you fetch images from rather dubious sources and of dubious origin, run them with a root daemon, and let Docker molest your iptables. In return, you get the illusion of having accomplished some form of meaningful isolation. No security whatsoever. But hey, I get to run two versions of node on one Linux and pretend I didn't just sweep all these serious issues under my, now, rather large bed.
Containers at their very heart in Linux are three ingredients: cgroups, namespaces, and filesystem-level seperation.

>I can’t really see any other reason it would be there.

To be fair, there’s a very good chance that the guy standing over there is planning to rob someone. I can’t really see any other reason it would be there.

To be fair, there’s a very good chance that someone who defends its privacy has something to hide. I can’t really see any other reason it would do that.

The whole CJS/AMD/UMD/ESM nightmare has included some prominent devs intentionally breaking packages for certain build types because 'ESM has been around for a while, why haven't you updated yet?'
There is no country on Earth that is powered by wind/solar or replaced fossil fuels with wind/solar.
It's a personal responsibility of each person to deal with their confirmation bias. You can't outsource it to a bunch of underpaid overworked subcontractors, even if they are called "fact checkers" or "moderation team" by their employers at Facebook or Google. The way to reduce the consequences of bad thinking patterns is not to censor more and force-feed people the "approved truth". It's to educate more and to earn people's trust by telling them the truth. It's not easy and it's not a guarantee of success. But it's the only way that can actually improve anything, as opposed to just creating more and more people that can't even talk to each other.
> The amount of THC you would have to ingest to overdose is more than you could feasibly consume. In lab rats with zero existing tolerance to THC, the LD50 of THC is…

Overdose and LD50 aren’t the same thing. There is a wide middle ground between a typical dose and a fatal dose where the effects range from distinctly unpleasant to potentially triggering a number of other health conditions.

The LD50 of THC is indeed very high, but I think the excess focus on LD50 has misled a lot of people into ignoring the other potential problems with excessively high dose, prolonged THC ingestion.
You are not able to, or at least should not be able to debug your code in production.
More than likely all you will have is your logs.
This is very interesting, and I want to try it out.

The part about them immediately receiving 'attack packets' made me realise that I am quite ignorant about the realities of web security. It is eye opening to me that a lot of web traffic is malicious.

Are there any 'security hardening your server 101 for n00bs' resources? It should be useful for any of these 'phone servers' as well (preferably tool agnostic)
germany doesn't limit college enrollment based on economic needs. by law, every student who qualifies, has a right to enroll.

limits are based on the capacities of each university. if the demand grows then capacities need to be expanded.

the big difference is that universities do not decide who qualifies. anyone with a highschool diploma qualifies automatically. but not every student enters high school. many students instead learn a trade after middle school.
i really don't understand the model. you should code it up in python.

I don't think that's right.

> The limited availability of lumber and the rapid pace of housing construction made other methods like concrete-block housing viable. This pressured further compromise because thinner 2x4s were a way to compete in price with wood alternatives. Size standards, maximum moisture content, and nomenclature were agreed upon only as recently as 1964. The nominal 2x4 thus became the actual 1½ x 3½, imperceptibly, a fraction of an inch at a time.

So it seems the reduction was was driven by cost saving, not a product of the finishing process, and it's actually only been standardized that way for 58 years.
One of my updated “Joel Test” job requirements is “do you give each developer access to a dev cloud account with fairly wide guardrails.”

I would much rather just spin up all my resources on a dev cloud account using CloudFormation/Terraform, and spend them down when I’m done.

Before I get (rightfully) called out. Yes I work at AWS now. But I also found that just as appealing three years ago when I worked at a 60 person company.
does anyone know what those giant gaps in the data are all about?
How reproducible is up to you.

You can build everything elsewhere and only copy in the artifacts. Or only install pinned versions of things. Or only use certain base tags. Or do the entire CI thing inside a container. Or use multi-stage containers for different steps.

My previous startups all used pinned based images with multi-stage containers to build each language/framework part in its own step, then assembly all the artifacts into a single deployable unit.
I've been there, so far away from the business use of the product that my solutions focused on the tech.

I'm sorry.

Now I'm right on the front lines of the business and it's eye opening. I think we need to take time to tech the domain to devs first. It's expensive and won't pay off unless the dev stays on the project for a while but it's the only way to allow the dev to understand what they're trying to do for the business.

In reflection I'm wondering if the problem is more that an external consultant is often not aligned with the business. Being directly employed helps with alignment.
The web is much too big for that to be practical.
On the other hand, I'd be interested in seeing a 'ten hundred most common words' version of it that dumps those complicated words like 'refactor'.
Microservices

grug wonder why big brain take hardest problem, factoring system correctly, and introduce network call too

That made me laugh. The microservices madness of the past decade is now starting to settle down to more mature understandings, but there are still a lot people biting off large testing, operational, and data transactionality/ reporting costs.

People often don't recognise beforehand the magnitude of extra complexity & associated productivity costs.

I've seen companies architecting 50 microservices with 50 separate datastores when they actually needed 5 midi services.. Then lose half their productivity trying to work with all this.

People can be innocent. A security person isn't an impartial judge of guilt.
I'm in the same boat with you. However, while I'm keeping the subscriptions because they either came with something, or use them to some extent, I'm consolidating to Dropbox and Google drive. Why?

Because I want to use less clients, and don't want to keep track of my files and let them rot. All of the files in my cloud accounts are backed up to local storage, but Dropbox is used to store a lot of files which were on my personal workstation. The reason is, I'll have a life transition and won't have this desktop machine anymore. Hence I need these files anywhere and everywhere.

Having a lot of cloud storage is nice, but mentally keeping tack of files is not.

As a side effect, I can ruthlessly delete files and remove cruft.
The government isn't preventing any transition. There is no transition. Wind/Solar cannot replace fossil fuels. But it is a talking point of every politician that wants to be seen as environmentally conscious to talk about a potential transition. I think some of those politician know that can't happen and they are lying about it. I think some of those politicians don't know that it can't happen and will never work.

I really doubt that the motivation for not publishing the model for "turns text into trippy images" is "it's too powerful to trust the world with it" vs banal business reasons.
I can't imagine a scenario where you already have a 1km long conduit that doesn't already have copper or fibre in it. Why would you choose to push a kilometre of brand new copper twisted pair line down an existing conduit just to squeeze 10 Mbps out of it? The hard part is already done and fibre equipment is pretty cheap.

If the conduit already has a phone line in it that isn't being used, sure.
Natural gas companies are some of the biggest backers of wind and solar projects. Care to guess why?

Nuclear as a lobby is dead. Do they have any institutional power? America can't even keep existing nuclear power plants open, much less build new ones.
SFTP is a sub-protocol of SSH (technically a "subsystem" in the RFC-speak), which implements features similar to "legacy" FTP.

Anyway, our ssh server knows about sftp, so `sftp <host>` should just work.
For me, it's the concern that newer translations are very likely derived from older translations; even when they attempt to translate the original Hebrew/Greek, they'll tend to be colored by other translations, be they other English translations or the Latin and German translations preceding the first English translations.

That being said, I usually go with Young's Literal Translation due to its explicit focus on, well, being a literal translation of the original Textus Receptus and Masoretic Text; whereas even KJV does its share of editorializing, YLT actively avoids it. Unfortunately, the consequence of such a literal translation is that it makes even KJV look modern and comprehensible by comparison ;)
You seem to put a lot of trust in the federal and state governments.

I trust their product because it is a highly competitive market and it is a premium product. If one cartridge says it's 77% and the next says it's 67%, you can tell when you vape it. People would just buy other products if they were inconsistent.

I wasn't unable to find anything about DAI/Compound. Google turned up results. I couldn't find succinct enough information to see why it would be uniquely different.

I don't have to read 1,000 pages on crystal focusing power with amethyst to dismiss it. At some point the burden is on you to explain simply enough why everything else sucks but this is different for me to continue.
I hated dependency injection until I escaped Javaland and discovered that you could do it with direct interface references instead of four layers of indirection.
I had issues with Gmail, google search and google translate few hours ago, on Android phone.
Translate would not work at all, just time out, search was extremely slow to load as well was the Gmail.
I've no idea if these things are actually related.

Downdetector had huge spike in UK around that time (also not sure how relevant that tool is anyway)
I don't think he "predicted" the Russian invasion. I think everyone denied it. Just remember a few weeks before this invasion, everyone was not believing the USA alarms about an imminent invasion; including high-ranking leaders in supposedly powerful EU countries. Just shows how blindness can affect anyone.
dropbox has a special place in my heart because it was the only one offering linux support for a good time.

I have been using it non stop since it was available, and the best thing is that I've completely forgotten about it for years. It's happily churning in the background doing its job, updating itself automatically and not letting me worry about its existence, not a single notification window, and seldomly sending me emails about new services.

Google forsake linux, they already went through a client deprecation on mac, they bug me about getting permissions for the downloads folder they don't need, and it breaks sometimes I boot with an external drive connected, it's a chore to use their software.
As much as I respect people coming up with analysis like this, there is definitely scrutiny needed everywhere. However, there can be flaws in analysis when not done by experts.

For example, I find the chart #3 misleading a little.

> The global median temperature (of the entire dataset) is uniformly subtracted from every data point, to keep things relative to an arbitrary x-axis of 0.

This only means that relative to the median, the temperatures do no fluctuate crazily on an average. This says nothing about the overall trend in global medians, nor does it say anything about the frequency of extreme temperatures. These need to be accounted for because in data visualization, you can use the same data to tell a different story depending on the design choices you made in you viz.
I stopped where I heard the words "... we could simply ...".
(I think so too.)

Then it becomes a problem for those that use Espressif chips.

I'm pretty sure there is a large volume of cheap/crap wifi controlled things being sold in EU/US by at least somewhat reputable retailers with Espressif chips inside.
Step 1) If it's not installed, it can't be exploited.
Right, which is why I think it's a little crazy to talk about how litigious oracle is with Java when there's no major cases I can think of besides the google and microsoft cases.

In "Simple Made Easy" he's recommending XML, JSON and even SQL for data. So I'm going to have go to with "No."

All that does is move somewhat messy language constructs into somewhat messy data constructs.

The data is static-ish, which is nice. But the associated code has exploded in complexity and with XML particularly you can't even be sure if it's truly compliant - especially if it's coming from an outside source.

So I think that whole talk is spectacularly missing the point. The idea is good but functional/read-only doesn't solve the problem.

Because some problems are just hard, and no amount of functional twiddling makes the hardness go away.

Names are hard. International localisation is hard. Dates and calendars are hard. International holidays and special dates are hard. Addresses are hard. Timezones and time systems are hard. Phone numbers are hard.

There is no trivial solution to any of these problems.

The most effective solution would be an international standard collection of algorithms and APIs baked into identical standard libraries for each mainstream language.

What you get instead is a lot of people wasting time and energy solving these problems over and over - badly.

And in fact XML, JSON, SQL, etc are similar. There are countless libraries and frameworks for managing these, and they're all slightly different and likely to fail in different ways - not just in different languages, but in multiple competing frameworks for the same language.

The problem isn't the code, it's the culture around it. Instead of solving a problem completely and standardising, the industry is addicted to nearly-but-not-quite solving the same problems over and over.

That's where a lot of unnecessary complexity comes from.
