I thought they wanted to compete against GitHub offerings, apparently not.
Since it wasn't clear; I noticed a clear positive impact on my mood but did not notice any measurable positive gains in creativity (nor any negative impacts).
Biggest one was country. Lots of impossible to find stuff from the 50s thru the 70s. I'd learn about it by digging at the record shop near where I went to college. There's not much of an audience for it anymore, so the labels have no incentive to dig through their catalogs.

Here's a country album I've never find a proper digital version of, only bad vinyl rips: https://www.discogs.com/master/402577-Mike-Auldridge-Dobro

In a completely different direction, 80s Japanese pop (city pop). I would listen to compilations, look up my favorite tracks on discogs to find the album it came from, and then... No dice. Often they're available on both CD and vinyl, but the vinyl version is often cheaper (because they made more original pressings than CD reissues). Sometimes they never get reissued on CD and vinyl is the only option.

Here's a random example I found while digging around at a record store in Japan: https://www.discogs.com/release/20947423-%E7%9B%B8%E9%A6%AC%...

Last case is dance music, which comes in 12" singles rather than albums. To find that stuff, I used to go to a used junk store that devoted its entire basement to records. Again, a lot of 80s and even 90s material never made it to digital.

Not trying to be racist, but does this mean darker skinned people (caused by sun burn) are sexually more active?
Ok - I totally understand the intent, but NOOOOOOOO!!!! (or more clearly: I have no problem with them trying this, but it doesn't solve my use case)

The entire reason I ask is because I don't want google to try to interpret my search query and change it - I don't want it to guess what I'm looking for using [insert classifier of choice] - I want it to do as close to a text scan for the exact search query as I can get.

Inconsistent tools are much harder to use. I really don't want to have to play a cat and mouse game with my search tool, and I don't want to have to have memorized all the "games" google is playing with my query and understand how to turn them off.
System rules can, and often are configured to prevent password reuse well before 2FA. They have also enforced password complexity for ages now before 2FA... 2FA was invented and foisted on everyone without real necessity and demand involved. Tying vital security to random, and often personal, mobile devices that aren't properly secured and registered is reckless. Text messages also aren't properly secure, neither is Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in many cases... It's not logically sound to say 2FA creates additional security in any other sense but within the technical complexity added to authentication.

None of what you mentioned is advanced security if user phone numbers are stored and accessible along with their personal data.

Social engineering alone from being able to call and text users and socially engineer access to their accounts through scams with the sheer amount of personal data that social sites and apps greedily and unnecessarily collect on them.

Social media surveillance is a gold mine of data for a social engineer these days, specifically BECAUSE of how invasive it is. 2FA does not protect it, it only creates a secure log in, it does not secure data beyond verifying a user has the phone tied to the account. A mobile device is not a footprint nor proof of ID, it can be physically lost or stolen, or even cloned, which has happened often.
Possibly. However, Ukraine has accused Russia of illegally targeting civilians in hospitals when it looks now like the hospitals may have been targeted by Russia in response to attacks by Ukrainian troops holed up in a hospital, school, or civilian home.
The GP is right. GraphQL is especially annoying because it looks so close to JS/JSON, yet since no thought was put into how it might integrate into existing typed languages its actually surprisingly difficult to build a type-safe API around it.

And yes, SQL is "bad" because you write query strings. The funny bit is that GraphQL may be just as hard to model in a type-safe way as SQL is, if not a little harder. At least with SQL we have a reasonably good way to model it with methods (see LINQ). LINQ was built 15 years ago, so this problem was well understood back then.

> it makes sense to look at change from baseline for individuals in the various groups rather than just differences in raw scores between treatment groups.

That’s called cherry picking. Results are always noisy. You could give two groups of people the same tests on different days without any drugs at all and some subset would show “improvement”. If you start focusing on the individuals that show the result you want to see, you cherry-pick your way into false results.

This is a well-known way for researchers to abuse variable or noisy data sets to misleadingly show the result they want to show.

> I am almost certain that e.g. none of the approved and quite convincingly working SSRI:s would have shown any efficacy in a study with this design and similar N.

Thats not true. SSRI studies with ~30 people will show a trend toward improvement in the SSRI group that exceeds the placebo group. I think you’re confusing the different statistical measures.

This study showed that expectations and placebo effect were the predictor of micro-dosing success. The blinded group and unblinded group showed completely different results.
Bathing requires water. Animals obviously clean themselves but the poster asked about bathing specifically.
are you consuming them on an empty stomach?

what are you eating the day beforehand / how is your diet in general? (like, lots of greasy, heavy food the day before / day of, or more on the lighter, healthier side of things?) this can really impact a body’s response to mushrooms on a gastrointestinal level.

those being more fundamental, I would say - but on top of that, could consider a hot-water infusion with anti-emetic herbs like ginger. tends to be smoother on the GI (provided you haven’t filled your stomach contents as way as well). tends to come on more quickly as well.

something else to consider is that gastrointestinal distress with psilocybin can be an indication of unprocessed emotional material and / or trauma. there’s different ways to work with that, in that context.
> That's weird, Amazon's own calculator estimates $300/mo on that.

Nah, you're just doing your math all wrong. In the very least you failed to look at how you're setting the parameters in the calculator.

Give it another go and check what 500 requests per minute cost you, and play a bit with the parameters.

> But perhaps you're somehow getting a 90% discount.

Naw, no discount. You just didn't paid attention to your back-of-the-napkin math and exercised zero critical thinking. Lambdas are cheap like that for those who use it for what they're supposed to do: high-volume event handlers, or low-volume compute-intensive tasks.

Think about it for a second: if handling 500 requests/minute really cost you $300/month, don't you think it would be far better to just provision a EC2 instance?
You don't own your games on steam, uplay, or any other drm filled service.

If you want to own your games, get used to either having old games and going to flea markets to find them, or buy from GOG. I've made a deliberate and purposeful shift to buy my games from GOG for this reason.

Except for a stupid prank ( https://www.criticalhit.net/gaming/breaking-gog-com-shuts-do... ) that - to this day - I am a bit annoyed by, I've greatly appreciated their service.
Some other bad things:

- Makes caching more challenging since there are now more possible permutations of the data depending on what query the client uses. A hacker could just spam your server's memory with cache entries by crafting many variations of queries.

- Makes access control a lot more complicated, slower and error-prone since the query needs to be analyzed in order to determine which resources are involved in any specific query in order for the server to decide whether to allow or block access to a resource. It's not like in REST where the request tells you exactly and precisely what resource the client wants to access.

- Adds overhead on the server side. It requires additional resources to process a query rather than just fetching resources by ID or fetching simple lists of resources. A lot of work may need to happen behind the scenes to fulfill a query and GraphQL hides this from the developer; this can lead to inefficient queries being used. I have a similar complaint about database ORMs which generate complex queries behind the scenes; this makes it difficult to identify performance issues in the underlying queries (since these are often completely hidden from the developer). Hiding necessary complexity is not a good idea... Maybe worse than adding unnecessary complexity.

Why? I am not a cosmologist and the images I see here and there are quite similar. Plus a physicist tells me that it is a new image of a star so why should I doubt?

"Quite obviously" depends on your knowledge of the topic. Scientists are there to help us decide what is true and what is not - and not erode the limited trust we have in science already.

If this was a picture of a pokemon - sure. But this round thing with red and white spots togather with a reasonable explanation was not funny at all.
It might be so that researchers investigate the common practice of "microdosing" and its effects, not necessarily (just) the effects of psilocybin low dosage. So they tried to closely emulate this practice, as it is done by users in real-life.

But this of course introduces more uncertainty, as you pointed out, so to have any conclusive results a much larger sample group would be needed, I think.

Also I agree with others that comparison with the baseline for each test subject, not just between the test group and control group, would be important.
Well, industrial and engineering science definitely qualifies as science, for example the history of learning how to convert crude oil into hundreds of different chemical products is a story of scientific development. The economic theory stuff doesn't hold up so well, however.

For example, it doesn't seem to matter much what socio-economic ideology a given country adheres to when it comes to extracting fossil fuels from the ground - socialist or capitalist, authoritarian dictatorship or liberal democracy, if they discover oil and gas they start drilling and pumping, without fail, and if they've got an excess, they try to sell it on the global market.
You need to come up with a task that cannot be accomplished, remember you said "no you fucking well cannot [do everything]", but so far I've seen no examples.

I mean, isn't this just a button that adds some named ranges for you?

You can replicate the exact example you gave with named ranges. If there is something it can do that named ranges can't, then please use that example instead. Similarly, if you think there is something that "Power Query" can do that SQL cannot, then please show that.

I literally use Lotus 1-2-3 for UNIX (I'm not kidding! http://123r3.net).

So far, all of the examples I've seen you give could have been done in 1989 on a VT100 terminal connected to SystemV. You could even write a quick macro in that generates the named ranges from column headers with one keystroke, it would be really trivial.
Thanks. Hehe, yes indeed. But you can't always get what you want...
For those of us that came from the early days of the web, they really were small text files - at least on windows.
Add the fact that the cache performance is unpredictable and inconsistent.

GraphQL queries select specific fields for “performance reasons” so each request is custom and you can't cache at the edge. This is ridiculous because SQL joins are costly but fetching a few extra textual fields is basically never a bottleneck.

So in order to save a few bytes or KBs (which nobody care about anyway), you ruin your caching abilities...

...Well unless you manually cache your GraphQL queries with more fields than needed but then what's the point of using GraphQL at all?

That's very often a terrible compromise.
I use Firebase emulator and man that likes to carry on running (or limping?) after Ctrl-C alot, hogging the port so you need to hunt it down and kill it before you can start it again. Both on Linux and Windows.

I think it is a Java (or more to the point JVM) program, not sure if that has anything to do with it. In addition I believe it is a lot of parallel programs running at once, or they could be different threads. As there are lots of Firebase services it needs to emulate.
You are a more advanced user. It’s obvious a lot of the users like the one in the OPs example are not. They don’t know the nuances of how things work. They may think things like people are being properly compensated in some way for open source code projects. They may not know about forking or it’s possible to hire someone to add the feature you need. Bounties etc.

Also, I wouldn't actually say we're the best resource to learn to use Redis (the Redis docs are probably more ideal) — we focus on helping you create your own version of Redis from scratch, so that you understand the fundamental pieces behind building a project like Redis. Same for Docker, Git, etc.

We do have a lot of users that actually discover Redis on our site, and do the learning Redis + building it out in parallel, often times while also simultaneously learning a new language!
Sun burn doesn’t cause darker skin. Also being tan from sun exposure doesn’t have much to do with race. Melanin in the skin functions as a protectant against UV rays, so you would actually expect paler people to have more reaction to UV simply because they would have more exposure.

I just want to jump back here for a second, because when I responded to this comment last night, I hadn't really read it (for I think obvious reasons, but also I was watching Sandman). So I wrote some replies last night that I'm not super proud of --- not because I said anything wrong, but because I didn't acknowledge the majesty of the argument I had been confronted with.

This right here is a comment that makes the following argument, which I will helpfully outline:

* Filippo Valsorda wrote a tweet that included a meme from "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia"

* That meme is a parody of "A Beautiful Mind"

* "A Beautiful Mind" is about John Nash --- hold on to that fact, because the argument is about to bifurcate

* John Nash was mentally ill

* John Nash was virulently anti-semitic (hold on to your butts...)

* Ergo, Filippo Valsorda is both bigoted against the mentally ill, and also an anti-semite.

Can we do other memes like this? I'd like your exegesis of the "Homer Simpson dissolves backwards into the hedges" meme next!
The point isn't that an odds ratio of 1.2 is too small to be important. It is that if the estimated odds ratio from the study, with all its biases, is 1.2, then one can't be at all sure that the actual odds ratio is even greater than 1. (An odds ratio less than 1 would indicate that red meat was protective, rather than a risk factor.)
I guess the official expects Amnesty International to look the other way when Ukraine violates a war crime. It sucks when your dirty laundry is out for display.

Until it has been checked for errors and results verified to a suitable level of confidence, it's scribbling on a page.

That's how science as a process works once you get beyond one person.
I'm asking a question about human psychology really. Maybe in a too cheeky way, because I feel some language enthusiasts, unintentionally, do the same by implying there programs are "safer" by being more constrained, without really justifying the claim.

I'm asking how haskell encourages people to use composable well understood abstractions and data structures?

Clojure does this by putting them into the syntax itself as primates E.g ([] () #{} {}) see? the list () contains a list of things, one of which itself is a list. This cuts away the translation barrier, i don't have to label the ocean as wet if your in it.

In this way all clojure developers are lead to think and talk to the machine the same way, this unifies how all Clojure programmers often choose to express intent.

It's at the heart of what Rich wanted for the language, making simple easy. Or as i see it know, making simple useful structures so easy to reach for, your discouraged, before you know better, to do something else. That's why i view clojure as more constrained then haskell, because I'm not sure haskell has that level of built in encouragement in it's design. I think the authors were interested in what could be, as where rich has taken a much narrow stance on how to deliver high level programs.
> The logistics involving nuclear weaponry are so extreme and involve so many people that something getting lost is more likely than some kind of crime.

The logistics being so extreme and involving so many people is evidence against loss, not for it. Also, the US placing nukes in a place that only a few silent people are aware of is not a crime.

This reminds me of this one from a couple of years ago: https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/6/21355674/human-genes-renam...

“Scientists rename human genes to stop Microsoft Excel from misreading them as dates”

> …over the past year or so, some 27 human genes have been renamed, all because Microsoft Excel kept misreading their symbols as dates.

> The problem isn’t as unexpected as it first sounds. Excel is a behemoth in the spreadsheet world and is regularly used by scientists to track their work and even conduct clinical trials. But its default settings were designed with more mundane applications in mind, so when a user inputs a gene’s alphanumeric symbol into a spreadsheet, like MARCH1 — short for “Membrane Associated Ring-CH-Type Finger 1” — Excel converts that into a date: 1-Mar.

Agree with everything here, but something that often gets missed is that you don't have to use all that GraphQL enables from day one.

It is perfectly fine to start with an early implementation that treats GraphQL as mostly an RPC, with only resolvers for Query & Mutation types. You still benefit from GraphQL's type-safety, batching and code-generation.

Once you have more familiarity with dataloaders, query complexity etc. update your output objects to have links to other output objects building the graph model.

The issue is that too many people get fascinated with GraphQL early, then build deep & complex topologies and expose it in inefficient and potentially insecure way.

> "Paying a deposit" is rather clear and implies it is refundable

Yes, it might imply it's refundable but none of the (English) stories have made that explicit - you can deposit into a common fund to pay for something (such as rescues or funerals) with no expectation of refund.

> Now, in French the word used is 'caution' [1], which means 'security deposit'

That does make it more explicit, thanks!
Obviously, plain old soap bars will not suffice to make a bath last for weeks or months. As I said pretty clearly, and you must have read, you cannot buy the good stuff.

Indeed. I am also in this situation.

The refusal to adopt even the idea of metaphors is incredibly frustrating.

And metaphors that are used less than every single day are quickly forgotten.
I was thinking about the difference between templates in C++ or Haskell, which are kind of strictly compile time macro/code generation systems; vs macros in Scheme / Lisp, languages with self-contained compilers/interpreters, due to `eval` and `quote`, which are in basic case evaluated somewhat at runtime. C++ and Haskell do not have `eval`, at least not the early versions, not in the default language specification. So LISP/Scheme as a more dynamic, more runtime languages; C++/Haskell, more static, with compile time template facilities languages.
