Hydrazine and HF can both kill you by skin contact or inhalation. The comparison isn't even close.

The dangers of hydrogen are basically "oops I breathed so much hydrogen that I got no oxygen for several minutes" or "oops I accidentally ignited it", both of which are easily avoided by basic safety precautions. In the context of filling a high altitude balloon that started this thread, asphyxiation is easily avoided by doing it outside, and ignition sources can be eliminated with a little care.

This kind of fear-mongering--"could explode just because you looked at it funny" etc.--is irresponsible.

The first option costs taxpayers significantly more than a ‘bit’.

Just look at how much it cost when they basically turned off all the checks in order to get covid relief into the hands of people who really needed it. In Arizona, after a while, they made it so you had to sit on (virtual) hold for 8-10 hours to verify your identity with a human or they would cut you off. Which worked well enough to ensure only the people who really needed it went through all the hassle. It really sucked for those people but they stopped sending billions of dollars overseas to people who just googled someone’s address.

mod_python is dead. Last release was in 2013, and according to the web site, "there is no plan for additional releases".
There are multiple property right violations here and the body of law is not all that clear. 4-H violated the parent’s property rights to the goat by proceeding with the auction against their will. At this point it becomes unclear who the legitimate owner of the property is, it may still be the parents as auctions of stolen property don’t make ownership legitimate. I think making the buyer of the goat financially whole is a reasonable outcome here and police operating out of county and seizing property without due process is clearly not.

4-H doesn’t get to use its principles to force an auction upon unwilling sellers. If they had partial or full ownership of the goat this might be different but as long as the parents and child have bought the goat as part of raising it they can’t proceed with the auction against the wishes of that parent and child.
There absolutely is. They held up countless irrelevant examples that have nothing to do with psychedelics, thus casting a wide net.

My original comment is my opinion. When there's further studies done rather than anecdotal rubbish pertaining to woowoo in the comments, then I'll reconsider my stance.

Analogies are unnecessary and distracting.

I've seen people ride these in bike lanes here in chicago even though law explicitly prohibits class 2 -3 bikes ( assist without pedaling).
I've developed a real dislike for e-bikes based on how people have been riding those here.
I seriously doubt parent is earning that much. I expect they probably bill avg 10-15 days per month at that rate. Most contractors like them in the UK that I know operate this way most of the time.
You can get a fairly hefty cargo bike for not so much. An Xtracycle Swoop will carry 200kg and it costs $2k.

Coke and heroin form a stronger dependency faster, and then you’ve created a new & very distracting problem.

Weed dependency is understated by many, but it typically takes longer to form a strong dependency, and the withdrawal symptoms are usually much milder than the other two.

So, I agree that your logic could apply in some cases… in the more typical case (like op’s) of someone stumbling into this experiential eye-opening organically, if it happens via coke/heroin it’ll probably be a much rougher road.

Edit: Probably why psychedelics work well… the experience is very different but has very weak habit-forming pull (it’s not easy to do casually because it’s an ordeal)
Visited a friend up in Truckee who he and his wife commute daily on their ebikes. We rode the town together and I gotta say the EBike is the biggest thing since the bicycle. Ok you don't get the same exercise, but you can ride farther faster, so tend to take the bike more often.
> 4-H violated the parent’s property rights to the goat by proceeding with the auction against their will

4-H programs typically loan a goat to a family to raise for the intention of teaching livestock husbandry. The goat is never legally the family’s property. (Not sure about this case.)

EDIT: It appears this program involves purchasing the goat. Suing the police is still stupid. They were enforcing a purchase and sale under warrant [1]. There may be a case against the Fair, depending on when the auction contract bound the parents to the sale. (The parents attempted to terminate the auction on the show date. Had they done so literally the day before, this would have been, based on the case, open and shut.)

I think it will really help reduce car use if transport were free. People would use it more, obviously but that would lead to more services being available. Win-win especially for the environment IMO.

Of course what I'm arguing for is making transport free officially, not fare evasion.

My premise is that if we showed kids the realities of slaughterhouses and the impact that animal farming has on our biosphere and all the other externalities - I believe most would not want to support this.

Imagine we had a children's book that would convey these facts in a manner kids understand more easily.

And yet we hide these facts from children and we tell them to eat meat and drink milk because they need it for protein etc, even if they don't want to - happened to me and countless others (online reports).

Don't you think a child would get traumatized by the sight of a cow being shot in the head and being cut open and the guts falling out - sometimes the animal is still alive and its eyes are rolling. It's a horror show.

If a grown man (Mike Bisping - ex MMA fighter) couldn't last longer than 2 weeks working in a slaughterhouse because it's a madhouse - do you think children could stomach watching videos of that environment?

Slaughterhouse workers suffer from PTSD - some say they had to suppress their compassion to carry out the killing.
From the research article:

> The dimensions of the offshore islands may be estimated in proportion to these respective two sets of measurements, so that the southern island measures approximately 6.6 × 3.8 km (ca. 19.7 km^2) and the northern island 10.7 × 5.8 km (ca. 48.7 km^2), and that the islands lie ca. 3.5–4.0 km from the mainland shore. However, these measurements must be viewed with extreme caution given the poor areal accuracy of the Gough Map.

Later in the article they estimate that the sea erosion was 5-10m/y and the alleged islands disappeared in 5 approximately centuries, so a width of 5km is consistent.
Do you think they would have learned something worthwhile by proceeding with the launch?
That feels like it's oversimplifying the effects of mass displacement and the destruction (both economic and physical) of all of the residential, commercial, agricultural, industrial, etc. property.

You've ignored one huge category: disagreements. We can all observe the rules, but we may not all come to the same conclusions as to how they bind our actions. Reasonable people can disagree without being "dishonest."

Further, you're pre-supposing a list of rules that does not and does not need to change. Which is far less profound than you make it out to be.

Not the answer to your question, but you can do things to get the most out of them:

- Enough time between them has to pass.

- Ask the team if there are topics or issues they want discussed or decisions to be made.

- Make the agenda of the meeting a collaborative document so everyone lists the topics they want to discuss there (questions, help requests, clarification requests, decision request between different approaches and tradeoffs).

Everyone goes over the document whenever they can and answers questions and clarify items. Iterative and recursive.

More often than not, doing this answers a lot of questions. Sometimes the meeting is rendered useless because all items are cleared.

If the meeting is still on, mist of the legwork is done. When the meeting is in session, everyone is on the same page and you go over the agenda items systematically with less rambling. Decisions are made. Issues are prioritized and everyone knows the rationale behind decisions.
Wrong.

I don’t mean to attack you here, but I feel like it isn’t fair to paint my side of the argument as one of non empathy. I wish that the Shasta Farm Association and the dickhead that made the purchase would have said “let’s let it go”. But they didn’t, and I don’t agree that some egregious civil rights violation happened as a result. That is simply my opinion.

> ...or things aren't 5x more expensive.

While I agree with you in regards to things like quality of life, health care, food, housing and many services, in a globalized economy certain goods that one might want to purchase don't scale that much depending on where one lives.

For example, consider an iPhone 13, in this case a black one with 256 GB of storage and not bound to any particular carrier: https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-iphone/iphone-13

It costs 929$.

Now here's the same model in a local store here in Latvia, also an iPhone 13, black color, 256 GB of memory: https://www.1a.lv/p/mobilais-telefons-apple-iphone-13-melna-...

It costs 939€ or around 934$.

You hear a lot about people in US making over 100k$ (with varying taxes) per year, over here this year I'll probably make around 36k$ before taxes and 24k$ after taxes. So essentially when the cost of goods in a globalized economy (for these products that cannot be produced locally) remains consistent across different nations, someone in the US will realistically have a purchasing power that is many times larger than mine.

Actually I wrote about my personal finances on my blog a while ago "On finances and savings": https://blog.kronis.dev/articles/on-finances-and-savings

Note: I don't consider myself as someone who can actually afford Apple devices, just using them as one example of that kind of a good; nobody is going to give you a car 2-3x cheaper just because you're from Latvia either, or a computer, or many other goods.

Of course, your argument does hold true for other things, for example it's possible to rent a studio apartment here for around 300-400$ per month. Also my university degrees were free (though people with worse grades might have to pay if there are not enough budget places allocated) and I haven't had any significant healthcare expenses myself as of yet.
I played that quite a bit at one point. However, after a while, you figured out some strategies that were pretty tedious but very hard for the computer to beat as I recall.
Scooters are annoying to go more than a few miles on. Bikes can carry more cargo. Bikes can ride on surfaces that would toss a scooter rider off.
I don't have to argue, period. An analogy is unnecessary. We are talking about psychedelics, not doping in sports.

My opinion: people are likely commonly capable of working through things without the use of psychedelics, and we are crediting the substance and not the human being.

I'm not anti-drugs by any stretch, just feel like a lot more research needs to be done before we can start stating things like they're facts. Can you otherwise disprove that it wasn't placebo effect and the individual wouldn't have otherwise figured it out without a placebo or with a sugar pill he was told was a microdose of psychedelics that would unlock the secrets of the universe?
Common advice is to double your effective hourly rate when going from salary to contracting (which "divide annual salary by 1000" is equivalent to). That's not just because you'll have fewer hours or have to search for clients; some clients will pay you for all the hours you can give them. But also, you'll have to bring your own health insurance, pay the additional self-employment tax, maintain a business, do business taxes, and quite a bit of other overhead. The additional cost helps offset all of that.
5 years ago I’d say - Working to live is great. It makes one more well rounded and you discover you have other interests to pursue with time.

As time goes on the cost of freedom is higher and higher. You might meet someone special and want to experience life together. That might lead to realizing the world might be better with little versions of her in it.

In The last 2 years - My kids will be the only people who remember me when the day I no longer breathe, if I’m around for them now. I don’t want them to have to relearn the stuff I had to unnecessarily on my own and be in a position to lean into whatever their potential calls them to.

I'm currently working on a project similar to Tree-Sitter.

Basically, it is going to be a full-featured Compiler front-end foundation library with incremental parsing capabilities, error recovering, AST manipulations, etc, but written entirely in Rust, and hopefully with more user-friendly API for Rust devs.

May I ask you to give me some feedback on your experience with Tree Sitter, and the challenges you faced during the development of your compiler's front-end?

Thanks in advance!

> Well, in Tolkien's case it was meant to be proto European mythology.

Unsupportable. Tolkien was only concerned with giving England a distinct history. He probably didn't care about Europe and hated everything French.

Almost everyone assumes Middle-Earth is Europe. Try holding Tolkien's famous map of Middle-Earth up to a mirror to see that it is really strikingly similar to North America, too similar to be a coincidence. In fact, he got a lot of his Hobbit surnames from actual family surnames in, iirc, Kentucky; Baggins included.
Indeed all the DockYard pieces announced are nice, but the posts are puff pieces at best.

From what I understood, Elixir/OTP are there, but instead of compiling to BEAM bytecode, they compile for WASI (targeting whatever can run WebAssembly). It is not HiPE, nor JIT, there will not be any bytecode. Only AOT compiled native code, except targeting WASI.

Generally BEAM is understood to be slower of the big runtimes (compared against Java, CLR, Go and often V8/Javascript). FireFly claims to be faster, and smaller in compiled form than current interation compiled against BEAM.

How that plays with actor model and preemptively switched lightweight processes is a mystery to me too.

I'd really appreciate something with more technical sauce but human explanation. Currently all we have is PR puffs like this and source code (at least for the LiveView native, haven't tried looking for this).

All that said, this does indicate there is good activity and desires to get Elixir working on stuff other than its current strong suit. This usually means the language and ecosystem is growing. It could be Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, but I started learning Elixir couple of weeks ago, starting with LiveView tomorrow, and there is nice stream of posts coming for it. Exciting times :)

A status symbol needs shared context for it to work. The "other" person needs to know what makes an object "status worthy".

In the case of bicycles, people who aren't particularly interested in the subject won't be able to notice the difference between a $100 supermarket bike and a $10000 Tour de France bike (or however much that costs). Both bikes will simply register as "bike".

So if someone buys an expensive bike for the status, but only ever crosses paths with people not knowledgeable enough, no one will notice it's an expensive bike, so the bike won't be perceived as a status symbol.

Just the fact that people will get on a bike daily to commute to work or get groceries, likely doesn't make them care enough about the finer points of the discipline to notice "status tells".
In addition to this, the fluffy explosion clouds from the hit ammo, mil equpment, and fuel depots do resemble big wads of cotton in the sky, well, of much darker shade.

I would appreciate if this post included just a few shell script snippets showing how to replace current Erlang compilation toolchain so Erlang/Elixir/other-BEAM-langs can try it, i.e. a drop-in replacement for your day-to-day dev workflow.

But not providing much of a context + actionable list of items on how to try it in your day-to-day work is to me a PR piece doomed to fall on deaf ears.
