> it's still very easy for me to overshoot and get into a state I hate. Marijuana turns me into a complete idiot and creates a sort of cerebral haze I can't stand

I can only enjoy THC as a sleep aid for the reasons you’ve highlighted above. For me, it feels like mj is underclocking my brain. I am aware of it and I hate being slow. It’s a terrible feeling. I enjoy alcohol much more even though mj is safer overall.

The real danger of marijuana is that for a small portion of the population it can induce schizophrenia, but it only affects a very small segment of the population since I believe you have to be in your early 20s or younger and be genetically prone to it
The crematoriums have been brought for civilians after Bucha. The sheer number of the civilians killed in Mariupol though forced to use traditional approaches - the ruined buildings are demolished without pulling the bodies out, and for the rest - there are huge swaths of fields near Mariupol covered with fresh graves marked only with numbers. The crematoriums are used in other places where FSB and Russian SS "Russian Guard" need to disappear the bodies of killed political activists/etc without leaving evidence like the mass grave in Bucha and there no mass casualties like in Mariupol.

The soldiers have been either abandoned (a lot in Kiev fighting) or put into number-only graves in Belarus and near Rostov. A few are sent home to have those public funerals.
One of the most accurate predictions about Brexit was made by Nigel Farage, one of the leaders of the Brexit campaign - this was before the referendum:

"“In a 52-48 referendum this would be unfinished business by a long way."

Of course he was thinking of a 52-48 vote for Remain - but his point is still valid.
Be careful of what you wish for. Sheltered in the money tree that is Tolkien's legacy, writers could take more liberties that they wouldn't risk with their own work. They would run it to the ground as long as there's easy money to be made, then reboot it 10 years later.
Hours are usually more convenient to work with than seconds when talking about energy use (even in this case when you are comparing to other things. Plus it's the de facto standard unit more people are familiar with. Power bills, electric car capacity, and energy efficiency are all normally described in kWh.

Then why not work on improving the UX in the OS and/or application instead of coming up with an entirely new standard?

For example, when creating accounts on websites like here or reddit, part of the process should involve the application you're using creating a CSR and the website sending the certificate back. The application should then store the certificate and whenever you log in, the application knows to use the certificate and private key when negotiating a connection.

And the application doesn't have to be a web browser. It could also be an email client or IRC client, for example.

> Also since when is "it's tradition" a defense for nonsensical public health policy?

It doesn't make for good public health policy, but as the pandemic made quite clear, the general population gets a pretty big say in it. People get pretty grumpy when you go against traditions, even for a good reason.
Part of it is definitely that Pinboard as a service (feels to be at least) is in "maintenance mode" with minimal support. But what new features does a bookmarking service need?

Part of it is also that tech bros are upset that Maciej didn't go full-coinbase and is instead pretty active socially/politically.

I'm happy to keep using it and paying for it. Works fine for my needs.
>> As an analogy, felons have free-speech and every other constitutional right

That's not completely true - felons lose the right to vote. Historically being convicted of a felony meant that you had forfeit your life. According to the principle that "he who may do more may do less", the government that chose to spare your life could certainly impose any punishment less than death, including the loss of any right whatsoever.
Hi joebob,

This is a rhetorical or satirical commentary on the fact that media technology, while having the superficial capacity for increasing access to and quality of information, often has the opposite effect of what one might expect despite that capacity. That is, it just as frequently and even more adeptly appears to embed and reinforce deeply pre-existing biases towards false -- even obviously so -- narratives which are comforting or reaffirm the believer's sense that they see through the confusion of world events.

The answers to "by whom", and "so what" questions are not going to be literal answers, just like "at what precise moment did you stop sleeping and become awake this morning" has no true answer, but would only invite a debate over the definitions of sleeping and waking. It's not meant to literally be a story about a time I was told something. I was told many things, by many people, in various forms, over a long period of time.

The comment is meant to provoke the reader to consider that technology -- far from giving man the ability to conquer his nature -- emanates from man's nature, is a servant to it, and can easily serve to reinforce and entrench it. Therefore, one ought to treat technological progress carefully, and not assume that it is equivalent to human progress.
> Copy my MIT licensed code without attribution? I don't give a shit, go ahead, I hope it helps

This is my feeling as well. I don't build stuff in the open so that I can get bent out of shape at someone not properly licensing it. It's in a public repository, FFS... I assume that if anyone even notices my repo, that they may copy/paste a few lines out of my solution if it helps them.
Paying customer. Really happy with it. None of the other options compare in terms of functionality and minimalism.
Not as it is (it would require mutating the type's "state"), but hypothetically, comptime could be made to support even more programmable types. But could doesn't mean should. Zig values language simplicity and explicitness above many other things.

I agree about the social aspect and if I didn't have pre-existing relationships with my colleagues, WFH wouldn't be as smooth.

But with an idealization of the office experience, I disagree. I view it as a relic of the industrial age where-in output was from an assembly-line and so required everyone to be present physically.

In the knowledge era, a lot of work like programming can really be done effectively at home and asynchronously or just by using video and text communication.

For a lot of people, the office experience is almost a prison-like experience with very low freedom and control at the office. Also, there is even more time for socialization for those working at home and have family at home. Instead of just seeing family at night and on the weekends, at least can have lunch together and spend more time together so WFH is not synonymous with social isolation.
I've been on the receiving and perpetuating end of state machines and it's painful to have to deal with one that started years before you got involved and easy to think that you can do better. I've got a modest one in a side project and due to it being a side project I touch it once every couple of weeks and already it is making me uncomfortable. And it's dirt simple and I wrote it!

There's a take on state machines in a railsconf talk further down in the thread and it seems like an awesome way to reap a lot of the benefits while keeping a grip on the complexity. Sometimes complexity can't be buried safely and you kind of need to frame it instead. I'd argue that state machines bury that complexity but breaking those states into ruby objects w/ their own validation frames and delineates them instead.
> The point I'm trying to make is that Apple isn't consistent here. If they actually believed this to be true there would be no way to get a sideloading cert that worked on all devices.

Indeed. I'm (maybe) willing to sideload an app from my employer but not from some other company. Perhaps only managed devices should have this capability, and only for apps signed by the managing authority.

I won't allow my employer to manage my personal phone; they have to issue me a phone if they want that kind of control. And in that case it's their device; they are welcome to manage it as they see fit.

Also: this is different from TestFlight.
I used some of the solutions listed here (like Pocket) for a time. Eventually, I decided I can just post them in my website [1], because why not : that way they are accessible from everywhere, easy to edit, categorize and comment, shareable with anyone in seconds.

Ah, I did misunderstand then. I’m onboard with what you mean now and do something similar.

I do allow for trips at my remote job but only when they are to an area I already wanted to go, and I can bring my spouse along so we basically get a free mini vacation on the evenings. I usually also pair that with staying the weekend before or after as my jobs so far haven’t cared about scheduling a return flight on a different day
I take a nap most days, I almost never completely fall asleep though. If I do actually fall asleep, it's often counterproductive since I'll wake up groggy.

I guess the "so what" is the implication that we have not reached the
promises or potential of civilian digital communication systems. I
agree, and think what we have has instead made many areas of
information worse, fragmented and unreliable.

As for "who?", if you grew up the 80s of 90s you will remember the
daily, breathless grandiose proclamations of various government
digital literacy programmes. Selling the World Wide Web, the
Information Superhighway, Ubiquity and Universal Access was a
decade-long propaganda drive that laid the foundations for what it now
the "tech industry".

Of course there is much in the world that is over-promised, and
over-reaches. At some point people usually reconcile the reality with
the hype. With "tech" I think that has still not happened, and many
remain in a dream world, high on the fantasies they grew up with.
"Couldn't be penalized whatsoever" wasn't enough? In broader view, government could start taking hostages like they did with Google last December, but that wouldn't help reaching the goal even a small bit back then since there was no leverage on technical side of things.
It's worse than you think
It's nice to be reminded how even the (unix-)ubiquitous "tar" format really isn't standard, for those of use used to living in the GNU/Linux land.

By nature of being so ancient, it's had limitations that had to be expanded and patched around across different systems.

Docker-engine is the daemon built by docker. Podman is an opensource work a like. Docker-engine doesn't support running as a user other than root. Podman does. This announcement says minikube will work with Podman running as not root.
Listen, if you start to suffer from conditions like this after heavy chronic usage, you simply stop using, or you are, in fact, stupid. It's not that hard. It's also not nearly as common as this article tries to propagate, so my statements still stand and I am absolutely certain 98-99% of "sickness" is not because of a rare condition that mostly only happens to the top quantile of chronic and/or concentrate users. If teens actually start to experience continuous adverse reactions after years of gigantic chronic consumption they have bigger problems than weed.
To be compliant, Google can just set up data centers specific to GA in one of those EU subsidiaries, so GA admins can choose to have their visitors' data stored only in an EU data center (and promise to not transfer that data to the US). This wouldn't be that hard to do.
Before loot boxes existed you had Diablo 2, which instead of your money you were trading your time to get the best items. I wasted thousands of hours of my prime years trying to gamble my way to the “perfect build”. World of Warcraft was the same way, only writ large and perfected with raids. I’ve spent literal years of my life playing Blizzard games and hate myself for wasting so much time.
> I’m not blocked because I always have other tasks waiting.

Sure, it's not like every time you need to talk to someone you're blocked. But, at least in my experience, it's definitely possible to be blocked waiting for someone. And it might not be a hard block. Like when I want to talk about a design decision with someone, I'm not technically blocked if I can't talk to someone. But I don't really want to continue seriously working on the problem at the same time either.
We are based in Europe and self-host our analytics exactly for this reason. I feel this is just the beginning.
I believe I remember reading about Google or FB having an app for employees to order food from the cafeteria as well as apps for internal tools/build pipelines/etc. While some POS apps like Square are in the app store there are others that are distributed through enterprise apps. It allows companies to push updates faster when/if something goes wrong. I also know (at least in the past) NetJets used enterprise apps for their pilots, the apps had the flight manual among other things if I remember correctly.

Often it's custom or white labeled software that benefits from enterprise distribution.

EDIT: Also if an organization is large enough TestFlight might not be suitable to cover everything they need. For example you might want nightly developer builds, weekly/milestone internal test builds, stagings builds, and then TestFlight and release. You can accomplish this with multiple apps that are never released (My App - Dev, My App - QA) so you can use TestFlight for each and then only release the production "My App" but that has some sharp edges and requires everyone be added to the Apple development team.

The article link still does not work for me in a private window in FF. But what is "hax" ? Whatever that means, that's the only thing I'm not doing.
`time` is a default *NIX utility that allows you to perform imprecise measurements of process execution. Invoking it would look something like `time cargo build --release` (replace cargo with your own build utility).

If you wanted to "track" these times, it's dead-simple. Add an output to your current build pipeline that executes the `time` command, and then append the output to a file. Bonus points if you timestamp them, too.

You can buy a tiny ESP32 microcontroller with built-in WiFi for extremely cheap. (So cheap, in fact, that a friend who bought me some microcontroller stuff as a gift accidentally bought a pack of 3 and thought it was the price of only 1.) A little button switch is fractions of a penny (though you'll likely have to buy a pack of many at a time). Then the code to trigger an HTTP request on a button press is a simple modification of the example HTTP client code that comes with the Arduino IDE.

So... yeah, that's the cheapest route in all likelihood. As in, you can do it all for about 3 to 5 dollars.
Interesting. So the snapshot file acts much in the same way as a manual "sentinel" file? I generally try to avoid such things because they are brittle and it's easy make a mistake and get the "ad hoc database on your filesystem" out of sync with the actual data.

IANAL or a law student.

Good paper, though I disagree with many points.

However, two things: you claim that Copilot might have infringed during training because of the GPL, but the GPL's clause only kicks in on distribution. If GitHub had trained Copilot and then did nothing else, that clause would not kick in.

Second, your Stack Overflow example of copying is not good because SO has an explicit license for all material given. You must agree to let SO and others have the material under that license, which is CC-BY-SA 4.0.

Don't get me wrong; I hate Copilot. But those two things you said were wrong.

> I thought France left and rejoined a few decades later, have things changed since then or did they only leave a small part of NATO?

France left the unified military command (in stages) but later returned. To a certain extent the partial breach seems to have been magnified for domestic purposes, as secret agreements on reintegration in the event of an East-West conflict have since come to light. They also have always been outside of the nuclear planning group.

But, in any case, they never left the alliance.
Hi! Great work so far. Does the team have a vision for a way to standardize the front-end part of shopify apps? That seems to be the really tricky part of a appstore-based platform going headless.
But it will though. The lowest satellites are at an altitude of 460 km above the Earth. And the decay of the satellite in to the Earth is exponential [0] so the unexpected drop is a significant impact on the lifetime of the spacecraft. You can see from the plot in that Orbital Decay that there is an altitude that it starts dropping very rapidly. So they may have expected it de-orbit in approximately 10 years, but now the de-orbit could be something like 5 years.

I sadly forgot where I read about it (maybe "Under a White Sky" by Elizabeth Kolbert) but the States do already pay people to mass-cull these Asian carp by the literal ton (found https://blogs.illinois.edu/view/7362/827782934 specifically about this point). It's crazy what extremes governments are going to try to contain these fish - to include generating an electric field in rivers that selectively kills fish over a certain size (i.e. Asian carp).

Building out the infrastructure necessary for Cloud to be compliant with region-stored data was a multi-year project.

Huge swathes of Google's architecture (especially its legacy architecture) have deeply-ingrained location-agnosticism assumptions. It turns out to be extremely complex and expensive to remove those assumptions given the way Google handles data once it hits their datacenter fabric.

The problem is that it's almost impossible to find the "beer" of weed now. Almost all weed has been upgraded to be super powered. If I want a joint, I have to use tobacco or catnip to fill it out unless I want to be steaming.

I also think that the weed culture is hostile against suggestions of problems. Almost every time I have spoken about possible dangers of weed, even when presenting peer reviewed articles or meta analysis, I have been angrily shouted down. Unfortunately weed users have been prosecuted for so long that they take a dogmatic view about its benefits.
