> all GitHub's doing is looking at commit authors

That's not accurate. It's also pruning from the resulting list the commit authors for which GitHub is unable to associate a GitHub account with a given contributor; it simply doesn't attempt to represent contributors who are not (known) GitHub users.

(That isn't to say there's any significance here to Vim; the Vim repo does genuinely obscure patch authors by not using the appropriate fields to capture that information—most commits, going by Git metadata, are attributed to Bram using that method. But the statement "all GitHub's doing is looking at commit authors", strictly speaking, is not true.)

Previously: GitHub's "Contributors" graphs are unreliable for working out who really works on a given repo. <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31421107>

2nd to edibles. As soon as I had legal access to edibles, I switched to edibles almost 100% exclusively.

It's much easier to just pop a candy in my mouth than to pack up a bong or vape. (And there's no smell to deal with, which is useful with children around.)

The dosage control is significantly easier than smoking. Where I live, the amounts of psychoactive chemicals per dose are printed on the packaging.

Just make sure you start with one (or a half) dose, and wait 2-3 hours before you take any more.

Also, if you want a "smoking" experience, without the smoke, vaping does come close. FYI: With vaping it's super-easy to get an overwhelming dose, so be careful.
I agree completely. Sadly, the reality doesn’t generate clicks, so pseudo-scandal it is.
I'm currently reading Self-Sovereign Identity.

Seemed to me that DIDs are a more general version of blockchain addresses.

Like, you create a DID from a public key, and everyone who handles DID related stuff can ensure only who controls the related private key is the real owner.
It's good to have easily-findable records of your assets, but the more important thing is to actually have the operative documents of a will and powers of attorney. Having a list of assets and debts doesn't help much if you still have to go to court and get a guardianship if you have a stroke.

You are free to like contacts.

But there are billions of people who wear glasses. We wear them for pretty much everything. We don’t care that we have glasses. But contacts make the technology “invisible” for “seamless uptake”?

Miniaturising things to contacts just sounds like they made everything at least an order of magnitude harder to achieve. Meanwhile they could have generated revenue from the glasses wearing population.
Koreans don't get a third of their calories from dairy products, though. Whereas if Mongolians get ~30% of their calories from dairy on average (which is credible), that would mean they are getting far more than that in summer, since dairy consumption is largely seasonal. We're talking prodigious amounts by the standards of any culture, not a dash. That consumption includes both significant unfermented dairy (milk, milk tea, clotted cream) and dairy products fermented in a wide variety of ways.

Are lactose intolerance symptoms widespread among Mongolians? If not, and if Mongolians are really genetically lactose intolerant, then it is worth asking whether the fermented dairy foods (as opposed to kimchi) they consume are mitigating that intolerance.

Top Security Mistakes to Avoid in AppDev
I'm struggling with this now. Daily cannabis user for 15 year or so, started puking not long after I'd switched primarily to concentrates. I've landed in the ER several times, and been hospitalized a handful of times for dehydration. Usually once an episode starts, a cocktail of ativan, reglan, and pepcid is about the only thing that'll get me out of it.

I've tried to quit cannabis several times now, but usually break down after a week or so when the night sweats and nightmares set in. I've been able to mostly get things under control by avoiding all concentrates and daily doses of nortryptiline and protonix, but quitting entirely is turning out to be really hard for me.
I have this proposition that I wrote about previously. The core of the idea is that the platforms can remove your content only if you are anonymous and you can re-instantiate your content and override moderation by accepting full responsibility through revealing your true identity. So if it happens that someone post some really nasty material, the police knocks on their door and content is removed only then(some type of content can be straight out illegal, like specific types of porn).
I wonder if intelligence out of Ukraine is being used to develop those missiles.
That's a very reasonable question, though in cases like these it seems prudent to err on the side of being too paranoid rather than the opposite.

It is not the UK only, here in Italy there was an entrepreneur (in logistics/transports) who was not finding drivers that pointed out how (for a number of reasons, possibly all of them right) to get nowadays a truck driving license (for TIRs) is very costly (both in terms of time and of money, if I recall correctly something like 6,000-10,000 Euro) and there was the issue on how he could pay in advance the costs but there was apparently no legal way to recover them (by keeping a part of the monthly pay of the worker over a "fair" period, I seem to remember 2 years), as it had happened to him that as soon as the candidate drivers would get the driving license they would resign and find work in another company.

In the UK I believe part of the problem is/was Brexit because a number of drivers were from eastern EU and they didn't want or could not obtain residence/work permit/whatever needed to continue working in the UK, here (where there is not such a problem for workers from the EU) the lack of them is mainly "concurrent retirement" of a whole generation born between roughly 1955 and 1965 and the initial "access cost" to get the driving license for the young people that may want to start the job.
There was a sci fi story with this theme years ago. Some semi magical library had an encyclopedia that, if modified, became real life. I can remember someone changing a US state name from "Kiowa" to "Iowa".

Good to see that sci fi still has predictive value.
The trick of this person's story IMO isn't so much that cooking snobs are bad or that any way of cooking is good or bad. It's that the author wants to be a cooking snob themselves. They're upset that the made-up qualifications of being a cooking snob don't accommodate their disabilities. Okay yeah that's unfair, but the whole point of snobbery is to be unfair to people and consider yourself better than them. You don't have a lot of credibility if you want to be a snob yourself but are upset that you can't meet the qualifications. Instead of shaming the snob group for not accommodating you, let go of your desire to be a snob yourself. Once you do that, their opinions don't matter to you anymore and you aren't constantly searching for signs that some random stranger approves or doesn't approve of how you cook, and sometimes perceiving them even when they aren't there.

Cook however you damn well feel like. Your food tasting good to you and whoever else you're feeding is all that matters, not the opinions of internet strangers on Twitter about how you did it.

Once you really understand things and let go, you can see snobbery as kind of a joke, a fun game to play, instead of something super serious and important. I think all of the people who have strong opinions on, say, Vi vs Emacs are older and mature enough to not take it too seriously anymore, so any "flamewars" about it nowadays feel more like people joking around than an actual battle.
In politics the BATNA is to find allies to outvote your opponent. That's what voting is for: when you absolutely, positively cannot come to an agreement, you choose the opinion of the majority.

This an absolutely terrible option. It's rife with abuse, and even when fair, is only right slightly more than it's wrong. It doesn't resolve any of the underlying issues, which continue to exist. It seems to be better than any of the other last-ditch options, but it's incredibly bad.

Even among your allies, you're still stuck with the same problem. Being allies you're hoping that their core agreements with you will enable tactics like steelmanning to work, though in a lot of cases it still doesn't.
When I was reading the GP comment, I immediately thought of the Dualit toaster. I'm not at all affiliated with them, but I own the classic as well as this sandwich cage and I cannot recommend it enough. They are expensive, but user-serviceable parts means that everything broken can be easily replaced from the logic board to the heating elements.

I think we should support companies that not only support right to repair, but look towards quality and longevity of their products. Dualit makes the case. Bonus points that their classic series are hand built in-house!
> Notes apps are extremely common and almost impossible to monetize.

And, I would add, so feature simple that it’s nearly impossible to find and create an innovative feature that will set your app apart from the others and force folks to switch to your product.

I just counted six different note apps that I have installed on my iPad. One I paid for, and it’s the best of the bunch in terms of features but I use it less than Apple Notes.
Thanks for this.

The fallacy is presuming, wrongly, that the legal status of a substance has any bearing on whether it should be legal.

It's called assuming the consequent.
It's a confidence-modulated assertion. Hypothesis is low confidence. Fact is high confidence.

There is no magic point at which hypothesis suddenly becomes fact. It's simply a matter of confidence.

It's interesting how the language author of V was bullied and harrassed for his early language [0] and with time V has made very substantial progress with C2V [1], and an OS written in V [2] and various language improvements.

This (and many future updates of V) has now rendered pretty much most criticisms in this attack post irrelevant, after all of this V is gaining traction, a community forming around the language and with great backing, It goes to show that programmers are far too quick to jump the gun on languages.

I congratulate Alex for persisting on V.

I have a MacBook Pro with 16GB of memory and i5 processor. It is sufficient for VsCode, however for some more complex Jetbrains products I sometimes struggle to copy and paste from one file to the other. On an 8GB machine VsCode is likely struggling as well, so a resource hog as well, just less so than some JetBrains products.
Horizontal sandwich toasters are the popular kind of toasters around my parts. It can make from plain toasts to fully stuffed sandwiches and are not that hard to clean either. I guess Americans will consider them more as a grill though.
Correct. No one has "real" hypersonic missiles that travel in the atmosphere for extended periods(*1). The heating problems for shock impingment in non-"simple conicals" has *not* been overcome and won't be. "Hypersonic" missiles are mostly just ICBMs with a very brief passage through the dense lower atmosphere where there's enough lift. And if they try to go higher up to escape the heat flux there's not enough for lift. See, https://exrocketman.blogspot.com/2022/06/about-hypersonic-ve...

Tangential: the USA had a mach 5 phoenix missile back in the 1970s on the F-14 and now they're re-fitting them with new guidance/etc to make a hypersonic test bed.

*1: Of course, when you're going hypersonic you only need tens of minutes to travel to the other side of the Earth.

OP understands neither science nor complex systems. Science is never ”ready” so by their logic nothing would ever get published, and something as integral to human ”system” as the gut microbiome being reduced to half can have dramatic nonlinear effects to health, making an alarmist approach 100% valid
> Some people die. Is that an acceptable cost? Does your solution make any considerations for ongoing harm?

You talk as if this isn't exactly what happened in the current framework of private censorship.

Even if abolishing private censorship would cause the scenario you outlined, that wouldn't be worse than the current situation and at least you'd solve the problem of pointless censorship.
YouTube has their own policy of taking down content they call “harmful & dangerous,” this person is complaining that they are enforcing it incorrectly by taking down her video talking about the dangers and not taking down or age gating the videos of people showing how to do it.

> I demand the freedom to suffer the consequences of my own actions.

You will absolutely suffer the consequences of whatever actions you take, I’m not sure why you seem to think YouTube would prevent that.
Why not try to buy some low potency stuff elsewhere? Joint are not good for dosing, since content is not spread evenly. I would recommend pipe for just weed. Or vape oil if you can get hold of it and take just a small hit. Edible effects depends on your stomach so that's not the best for dosing neither.

20-30 mins between hits is too much, if you don't feel anything after 5, max 10 minutes it won't come. You describe it like that, so it contradicts 25 years of my experience though...

It may be true that weed won't be the best for you, depends. I had this experience with few people, it was all just in their head, too much anxiety and fear but that's enough to ruin any trip, anytime. But I would give it another (different) chance before you give up on it completely.

If you have friend who is doing it and you feel comfortable around them, try it with him/her. They can 'guide' you and calm you down if required. Remember, sugar will take trip down if needed (plus it tastes amazing when high). Or most junk food like hamburgers, pizza etc., also an experience above any Michelin * restaurant when sober.

What a stinker. A Hoover fellow complaining the same way legacy students complain, whining and moaning that there are consequences for pointless, exclusionary language. “Wokeness” is their scapegoat when the reality is there are absolute idiots with 1-2 generations of Ivy degrees sharing rooms with smart people from diverse backgrounds, not prep school detritus. They aren’t struggling or being excluded because of their backgrounds, but because of their lack of ability and cultural literacy. Can’t blame them, it’s not their choice to be coddled

This looks like a form Epic would send to software vendors who have not passed one of the industry standard security certifications (SOC 2, for example). This is common practice for large enterprises when engaging with new vendors. These are super obnoxious to fill out, but usually come with very large enterprise contracts, so vendors put up with them. It's certainly not normal to send these to maintainers of open source projects...

If you legalize it, you can regulate the THC content by legalizing only weed with a maximum THC concentration, and/or by taxing it based on THC levels.
> I don't believe one second that any of the European elected official under 50 never smoked pot.

To be honest, just the very first statistics I could find on the topic, I didn't put any effort in looking it up at all: https://www.emcdda.europa.eu/system/files/publications/753/e... says the following

> In the 2012 EMCDDA Annual report, it is conservatively estimated that cannabis has been used at least once (lifetime prevalence) by around 80.5 million Europeans: almost one in four of all 15- to 64-year-olds.

This matches my personal experience (currently mid 30s in Germany) a lot closer, unless politicans are vastly more likely to smoke pot (or pot smokers vastly more likely to go into politics) I have a hard time imagining your estimate is even close to true.
Playing with microwaves carries many risks. Even without getting electricity involved, the magnetron contains beryllium oxide which can be fatal to humans if it gets into the lungs. Just to disassemble one, you need to know what the magnetron looks like and not try to disassemble it.

Like many other appliances, it has capacitors, which may remain charged for a long time too. Those are dangerous too.
