Huh? So people who can't sleep or feel uncomfortable without their evening beer aren't addicted, only because final stage alcoholism is a nightmare? Or alcoholism != alcohol addiction?

I just don't see how a single beer, even every day, can be classified as alcoholism. A single beer is likely going to have a barely perceptible effect on all but the the most alcohol intolerant people out there. In the same way that a person who occasional takes a couple Tylenol wouldn't classify as being a drug addict.

I didn't know what uncontrollable drinking is a necessity to diagnose alcoholism, but I'm luckily not involved in the topic. Do you have a reference to back that up?

Pretty much every reference out there is going to include "inability to control consumption" as one of the main symptoms. But I'll pull one of the results I find off google.

https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/3909-alcoholi...

In the section for "What are the symptoms of alcohol use disorder?" how many of those symptoms could be considered for someone drinking a single beer? Maybe "Having cravings for alcohol." and that's really it.

I got a referral from a friend that was also an early employee at the startup. I joined mostly because the people seemed smart and I thought I'd learn a lot from them and have fun building a cool product.

To be honest, most of it is just luck. My two cents is to just find really smart and hungry people, look for evidence of incredibly fast product velocity and some semblance of product market fit. For first 50, there's a decent number of post series A startups that should have those indicators.

The change of posture prevents my ass from getting sore from sitting on it all day.
At least one of them used to support JS. Below is from a changelog.

Honestly I wonder though why anyone would want JS for a text-only browser.

Maybe I have just been using one too long to remember what it is like to think the (text-only) web requires Javascript.

IME, if the goal is to read text/plain or text/html, then JS is never needed.

Generally, I can always retrieve the text/html of a website without ever using JS.

Many times times I do not use a browser for the retrieval step.

Sometimes websites might make gratuitous use of Javascript to make requests the www user never specified.

For example, the www user types example.com, but the content of the website is actually found at example.cdn-123.com.

The web developer may use Javascript to make HTTP requests to example.cdn-123.com.

In such cases, I will retreive the content from example.cdn-123.com, making the requests myself, without using Javascript.

Often JSON is returned instead of text/html. This is ideal.

Because there is no need to read text enclosed in HTML tags there is no need for a browser.

For example, I search YouTube by retrieving JSON not HTML.^1 I use netcat plus a localhost forward proxy instead of a browser to make HTTP requests. Then I transform the needed data from the JSON into a TSV table using a custom single purpose program. Optionally, I then load the table into a database using sqlite3.

1. The initial search returns HTML with embedded JSON that I extract. The continuation search returns only JSON.

=== RELEASE 2.1pre29 ===

Mon Apr 16 01:49:07 MET DST 2007 mikulas:

Javascript was removed. The reason is that it is very buggy, Martin
Pergel doesn't have time to develop it and code is so messy that no one
else can understand it.

If you use links for special purposes (embedded devices, etc.), you can
bring javascript back by copying javascript files from previous release,
removing "dnl javascript" lines from configure.in, adding *.c and *.h
files to Makefile.am and re-running automake and autoconf.

Javascript hooks from main code were not removed --- they just won't be
maintained.

=== RELEASE 2.1pre28 ===

Wed Apr 11 01:39:36 cet 2007 mikulas:

Fixed a bug in decompression and javascript document.write introduced in
previous release (compressed data were displayed after document.write)

(BTW. because the javascript interpreter has bugs, Martin Pergel has not
time for it and the code is so messy that it couldn't be understand by
anyone else, javascript will likely be removed in next release)
There's a fan-made N64 demake of Portal in the works
Slightly off topic, but the page says "we don't want your email" and I vaguely remember a site that was looking up public keys on GitHub and getting the email address from the GitHub account. Not sure if I got that right, or what the site name was, but it's definitely possible to get public keys from GitHub users like so: https://github.com/binwiederhier.keys

If you mine these, along with crawling GitHub for email addresses, you can map public keys to email addresses.
I tried that out but found it very distracting.
> I’m also the biggest loser in this story.

so you do indeed admit that facebook provides value to you and that sacrificing privacy is costing you more than what it provides you?

Otherwise, you wouldn't consider yourself a loser in this story.

I've completely weened myself off facebook for over 15 years, and it hasn't hurt me one bit. I don't consider myself a loser - any groups or product, or events being organized on facebook will not reach me, and if a friend tries, i actively ask them to email me an invite instead.

Over time, i've also converted several people over this stance too - but only after they've heard about the facebook problems such as the cambridge analytica scandal and others.
Interesting to read this, “The barriers are more economic than technical,
and we propose reciprocal peering as a key enabling step.”
Starbucks' roasters are extremely proud of their techniques, too. They're all mysterious and secretive about how they do it, or at least one of their VPs was when I talked to him about it a decade ago. I think they're aware that coffee enthusiasts generally find it to be bad but didn't find that to be a negative to their business. You're probably right that it's because that bitterness goes well with sugar.

That actually holds true for coffee in parts of Asia, too. If you buy from a street vendor in Vietnam or Singapore, to name two, you get some cheap-ass Robusta mix that was roasted to hell, brewed for hours (or days) and then fixed with a big dollop of condensed milk. My wife describes the flavor as burnt tires and old motor oil. But personally, I love it.
I'm not sure Germany's condition was very exceptional. (What about Italy?)

It was more that Nazis simply got into power and once they were in power it was no longer a question of whether the average German accepted it or not. And once Nazis were in power they had the propaganda machinery of the state to make people believe them.

It could happen here too, almost did on January 6th. And in Russia, it's a crime to criticize the war.
Oh jeez, please do not make me run “git log” and then open a hundred tabs in an old bug tracker that may or may not still exist to figure out when a problem may have been introduced. I want code reviewers to insist on at least somewhat useful messages for us to skim at 3 AM.
I'm into Folgers instant coffee these days. I'll flirt with Nescafe instant coffees, but Folgers is my thing. I stay away from the Costco Kirkland stuff.

I visited Italy during grad school and was enamored of moka pots. I got a Bialetti and started experimenting. I moved on to French presses. I would've gotten an espresso machine if I had the cash. (but as a grad student, I didn't)

Yet I went back to liking brew coffee. You know what the problem was with all the above? They all just took too darned long. I just want my coffee in the morning with minimum fuss.

Instant coffees aren't good but they're good enough.

(though I will say, Swedish coffees like Gevalia that are made from Arabica beans are smooth and pleasant and much better than Folgers -- unfortunately they don't sell the instant versions in the US)
I am talking about Canada. We had one of the most draconian mandates. And these were enforced by Government orders, not simply businesses.

Good hell, I had to draw a circle a few weeks ago and I'd have thrown a brick through my monitor if I had a brick and a CRT. Was it always this bad? I swear I drew a circle with GIMP more than a decade ago and it wasn't like that.

If anybody is wondering what we're on about, please learn how to draw a circle in GIMP. Maybe finish your beverage before reading.

If you're up for it, try to discover the technique without the walkthrough. I didn't give up until about 20 minutes in. I'd like to know if somebody happens on a solution in finite time (without writing a python extension please).

Bazel can be clunky, but not having some bazel equivalent can have very significant costs that are easy to get accustomed to or overlook.

Things like engineers losing time wondering why their node dependencies weren't correctly installed, or dealing with a pre-commit check that reminds them they didn't manually regenerate the generated files, or having humans write machine-friendly configuration that's not actually human-friendly because there's no easy way to introduce custom file transformations during the build.

Bazel doesn't spark joy for me and I wouldn't say I look forward to using it, but personally I would still always choose it for a codebase that's going to have multiple developers and last a long time. It's vastly easier to go with bazel from the beginning than to wish you could switch to it and realize people have already introduced a million circular dependencies and it's going to be a multi-month or multi-year process to migrate to it.
> As for coffee, like many other parts of life (movies, food, and music especially), I find that I like it very good or very bad—as long as it’s not down the middle, I can find a time/place to enjoy it.

I agree, but I think it's slightly more! The author doesn't like coffee, they understand the intimate knowledge of every aspect. And in doing so, they come to appreciate the interesting parts of the worst entries in the field. And the experiences those entries mean.

To give another data point, I really like pocket knives. I've been collecting them for nearly twenty years. I have some very expensive ones. My daily carries are usually around $200 or so. I seldom use them, however, and never heavily. And I often trade them away for other people's pocket knives. I love those $40 beaters that have seen a life of real and heavy use.

Those knives exist in a state of their own, just like bad coffee: they weren't created to be perfect, and nobody involved took as much care as they should. But the flaws make the end result more-valuable, in an important way."Wabi-sabi" might truly be the meaning of existence.
There are many fair trade coffee's from local roasters where there is a minimum price for the green coffee for the farmers at the start of the chain.

Looking at https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/135115/apparmor-pro... wouldn't raw sockets still be allowed under your blacklist policy? What about bluetooth and other radio interfaces? If an AppArmor evangelist can let so much through accidentally then that's a red flag. The thing that confuses me the most about AppArmor is it appears to be part of Linux, but I have no idea where its API exists. For example, there's nothing in the system calls table that says AppArmor. I tried running `aa-exec ls` under strace and I don't see any system calls that appear to be doing sandboxing. I tried putting your suggested config in an ls.apparmor file and passing that along as `aa-exec -p ls.apparmor ls` but it didn't work, since I think it requires you put profiles in /etc as root. That kind of defeats the whole point of us wanting a non-root sandboxing tool.
You have random strangers typing in your exact email address thinking they own it?
To clarify the claim a client makes on this site is that you have been around to make enough tokens to enter your info for the $500 monthly sweepstakes. Your slot results don't actually net you direct money or even improve your chances beyond being able to enter after a relatively low bar. Any server side validation would be to check you are a person who has been seeing ads and giving a real sellable email away instead of a bot trying to game the sweepstakes and, more importantly, lowering the resale value of the email list. Doing live server side hosting of every game spin would probably cost them more than they make, I'd be surprised if they even did the full level of server side validations available.
> Is the molten core of the Earth so hot that its inexhaustable?

AIUI it's effectively inexhaustible. Earth's core is gradually cooling but we're talking something like 100C per billion years, for something presently at like 5,400C.

So as far as human activity is concerned, it's an infinite source of heat.

Edit: it's worth keeping in mind the Sun has something like 5B years before it turns into a red giant which is game over for Earth regardless of how much energy remains in its core.

> How do you figure? Companies are made up of the people the government oppresses.

The people in control of the companies are the ones steering the government towards being more oppressive.

> Hardly. My argument is that in the absence of Google, the government would still be a mess, and in the absence of the Google datasets, they'd use others (online cycle trackers, credit card data, toll road records, the photos taken by people standing outside Planned Parenthoods and volunteered to the authorities).

With the exception of the last, those are all examples of surveillance capitalism that would be solved with the same legal and technological structures. The overwhelming majority of current commercial software would have been considered malware or a virus in the 90s. Real privacy laws (rather than half measures or controlled opposition like gdpr) that prevent gathering any data that isn't essential and pro-cash rather than anti-cash policies would solve these.

Even the last is either surveillance capitalsim (cloud based security cameras) or failure of general privacy law and social norms.
The problem with ascii diagrams is that it is difficult to edit. Say you want to move that resistor in the circuit shown in the article.

> Many of the words in the ANS Forth standard consume more than one element from the data stack

ANS generally frowned upon by Forthers, the idea of having a standard, cross-platform Forth is something of an insult the Forth philosophy. If you check out something like the Silicon Valley Forth Interest Group guys, they all make their own Forths, or use one specific to the platform they're using (such as Brad Nelson's Forth for the ESP32, if they're using that device.)

Additionally, I don't agree you should never use more than one, but the majority should only take one, the cases where you do take 2 or 3 should be either primitive words or fit the style and form of primitives that take in 2 or 3. (for instance we might see `cells!` take in 2 variables just like `!`, but it's styled like said primitive so it's behavior is clear and follows known patterns.)

It would be more helpful/accurate, to say that one should only have a maximum of 3 items on the stack at a time (which is what Chuck suggests) and so any time where a word takes in 3, it should be consuming the stack and replacing it with either zero or one items in return.

My theory is that eventually you get used to which ever coffee you drink and start to crave that.

In Israel everyone drinks instant coffee. It’s standard in every house. When I first moved here I hated it. Now I love it. It’s become comforting - the ritual of a quick, warm drink in the morning to start my day.

We still have a fancy machine, and a nespresso machine too. But the instant coffee wins the day for my wife and I every morning.
Recently I followed someone's instructions to build a small C++ project on Windows and spent like 5 hours trying to get the right clang and the right cmake and the right ninja to invoke each other. The worst issue involved seemed to be that if you install "MSVC build tools" then cmake will auto-detect that somehow and call the ninja installed by that instead of the one in your PATH, which will pass windows-style flags to the clang in your path which does not know what those are. "Install MSVC to get required dependences but do not install MSVC build tools to avoid anti-required anti-dependencies" was not in the instructions, of course.
But the bugs were generating that plasma, and shooting up generally at things they may have been able to see. The meteor launch, they’d need advanced telescopes and orbital mechanics, plus a way to launch the meteor. I suppose there is an allusion to them being a multi planet species, so maybe these things exist.
I know my own interest in good coffee is fickle, which is why I limited myself to a Melita pour over. Sacrilege, in know but I use instant most of the time and the pour over occasionally.
I wanted to play the drums, but I didn't know of anyone nearby who could teach me. I couldn't figure out how to separate my hands from my feet.

I tell people Mr. Bean was my drum teacher.
