I used Allen Carr's book to stop smoking and it worked like a charm. Reading the book made me happy to quit, instead of the expected struggle that everyone that quits smoking goes through. Now I've spent 500 days without smoking and I've never felt the need to smoke again. I haven't read the Easy Way to Control Alcohol, but if it's as good as Easy Way to Stop Smoking I would recommend it.
Alleged patents, or not even that, just an attempt to find some?

Not a product endorsement (as I'm sure other products would do much the same thing), but after getting an Oura ring and seeing the near realtime impacts on my sleep and readiness after drinking alcohol I found that my alcohol consumption massively decreased.
That was a last-gasp attempt to regain relevancy. It really looked desperate, there was no real business plan behind it and the market could tell.
Last year we had a great public example of why eliminating attack surface should always be prioritized over legacy support. Support for a compression format specific to fax machines was used by a government to hack the cell phones of activists.

This looks very well done. In particular the web bookmark database is something I have been thinking about doing myself.

One thing that I would do differently is how titles are handled.

`nb` will store the title in front-matter metadata and set the filename to a slug (spaces to underscore etc.).
For externally added files, both metadata and markdown level 1 headings take precedence over filename. If neither are specified, `nb list` will show both filename (with extension) and first line of content.

I have used markdown-based notes since notational velocity came out 20 years ago. Along the way I have used many different tools, and have come to prefer a filesystem-centric approach where the title is used as filename if at all possible, and the only override is explicit front-matter metadata.

This approach makes it easier to work with the notes as simple files on your phone and in the terminal.

This is what I thought when I read this page too. I've been recently looking into what's being done to children and teenagers in the name of 'trans' and it's horrifying. Teenagers are being told the solution to their mental health problems is hormones and amputation of their reproductive organs, and many of them are regretting it.

There is NO ROOM for trends and fads in medicine. None.

But we're being told that scientific evidence and risk assesment are transphobic. I truly believe this to be the biggest medical scandal in decades, but speaking out about it will have you banned from social media, fired from your job, and lose your friends and family.

Yes, this! The non-alcoholic beers have gotten so much better over the last couple of years. I remember that they smelled quite pungent, but this is no longer the case.

I mostly enjoy IPA non-alcoholics, or a Weizen. But for regular NA pilsener I would recommend Grolsch, it's a bit more hoppy then Heineken.
Problem with command line notes is that on MacOS and *nix the notes can’t contain special characters like asterisk or apostrophe. You can surround the note with double quotes but that slows the flow and is not intuitive.

Having kids for the most part has sucked the joy out of getting drunk. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy having 2 or 3 pints with a meal as long as its providing a lubricant to socialisation. Time constraints mean it's something I only get to do once every couple of months though.

Beyond that though means feeling like shit the next day and not being able to give the kids the attention they deserve.

In Rust we know we only gave the append function an immutable reference which lives until the next iteration. If append is OK with that, we're golden. Maybe internally it clones these references -shrug.

If append() needs the thing, not just an immutable reference which expires soon, its signature would demand we move one into it, and we don't have one so we'd need to e.g. make one with Clone.

Not to distract from your point, but I have found there was nothing more destructive to my trust in science than becoming a scientist. I think once you see how the sausage is made you start to see science for what it is: just another complicated, fallible process built by many fallible people with a wide set of perverse incentives that produce a lot of good things and a lot of garbage.
It's best understood through the lens of FUD against both a specific competitor codec and a competing standards methodology.

Fraunhofer and Dolby make money from patent royalties on standards. If standards no longer want patents or royalties, then they are out of business.

It's obviously going that way long term, but in the meantime a bit of "Linux is cancer/communism" type FUD will more than pay for itself in extending their patent royalty collecting time.
Trust me, you really wouldn't. This incentive structure has existed previously in the UK and it lead to precisely the degenerate outcomes you might imagine. What you want is fewer cars
That’s exactly how I manage not regaining the excess weight I had more than 15 years ago. The instant pleasure of food pale in comparison with the pleasure of looking and feeling good that is delivered by having resisted the snack, maybe I’m lucky but I find doing the trade of with myself relatively easy. OTOH stopping cigarettes was immensely more difficult for me, because what is delivered is too far in the future (i.e. when young it was easier to relate to tomorrow me feeling good looking in the mirror than 60 years old me).
They mean every night, as in each night. About 20 standard drinks in a bottle of vodka, so takes 18-20 hours to process all the alcohol before starting again. It's just about doable with a day job if you start as soon as you get home from work and don't have to drive in the morning. I know because that was me once.

This is why people with serious drinking problems find the "I drink a beer every night I must be an alcoholic" chat a bit offputting. And look, a bottle of vodka a day leaves some room for a few sober hours, so it's actually not as bad as the people who get withdrawal unless they stay topped up 24/7.
> There's no price-fixing by landlords based on incomes, it's supply and demand.

Sorta yea. Realistically traditional Econ 101 concepts don’t always apply to housing. Supply is limited and can’t be increased as much as demand because building housing is quite hard and conversely demand is capped at the household income of people who will live there (eg Medina vs Renton are entirely different markets). Generally, people pay ~25% of their household income on housing (once they leave being low-income). Therefore prices will trend to that value for the given demographics. Because people can out bid each other on purchasing or landlords will charge higher rent prices knowing someone will pay it.

Redmond is wealthier than seattle (as a rich suburb), and I bet the median cost-to-acquire-housing in Redmond is greater than seattle even if the cost of a “750sqft 1br with parking” is cheaper. Being a family town with a good school, people probably want multi bedroom housing, and probably want a yard etc. So people who will live alone with a one bedroom is different from most of Redmond.
It's worth pointing out that the standards for evidence in particle physics are so high because they have to be: particle physics experiments create so much data that you can find a huge number of correlations with high confidence without much difficulty. Biology and medical science are completely unlike that: there is comparitively very little data to draw any conclusions from so standards of evidence are necessarily low, and yet still useful (that said, the lower standards also allow a lot of junk to appear which is difficult to filter from the rest if you are not very familiar with the subject).
There’s nothing contradictory with compulsory psychiatry, providing housing, and ending the war on drugs. The US’ hardcore line on drugs has clearly been an abject failure and its time to reverse the damage we’ve done before its too late.

VFIO does work, but it's hacky, so it's very inconvenient unless one has plenty of time and patience.

For example, AMD GPUs don't support rebar (took a while to figure out), and they used to have (I don't know if it's been definitely solved) a problem with reset, which caused random lockups when exiting the VM.

Additionally, power saving/device ownership must be handled. Which means: either one terminates the X session each time before starting/after stopping the VM (so X will handle the power management), or they leave the card owned by the vfio driver (but this makes the card run hot while sitting doing nothing, because the vfio driver doesn't handle the power management), or they swap drivers on the fly hoping that it will work fine (on nvidia, it's not a stable strategy; no idea on AMD).

And these are just a few issues. I've experienced others in the past, and it's very frustrating and time consuming.

With all these problems, a combination of dual boot (for demanding 3d tasks) and VMWare (for light ones) is much simpler, and stable. I hope to replace VMWare with VirtualBox for the latter use case.
Everett is your friend
Ten or fifteen years ago, I remember trying to run a demo version of Maple V.

This version of the app, maybe from 1995, was old enough to be in a.out format. Unfortunately I struggled to run it, because libc was in ELF format, not a.out.

Still, you have a point, the kernel code is not that much because the format is so simple. Arguably removing the code fails Linux's philosophy of not breaking userspace code.

In cities like New York and San Fran the homeless non-profit sector is a billion dollar industry, bankrolled by city and state governments, with many shady characters pulling in millions of dollars a year.

>This year, the city has directed $2.6 billion to nonprofits to operate homeless shelters, and officials already know they have a problem with some of them. Nine of the 62 groups that run shelters are on an internal city watch list for issues that include conflicts of interest and financial problems, according to records reviewed by The Times. All of them continue to receive city funding.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/03/nyregion/jack-brown-homel...

The state of California funnels more than $3 billion dollars a year into these homeless non-profits while cities like San Fran funnel hundreds of millions more - without doing much of anything to mitigate, much less solve, the homeless crisis there.

Corporate interests control policy through money. How is that not directly related to capitalism?
Maybe not exactly what you are looking for, but I can share my experience doing the opposite: I wanted to cut out drinking sugary drinks (soda, sugary coffee, fruit juice, etc) and had always struggled until I switched to beer instead (and sugar-free coffee in the morning). When I would have reached for a soda, now I reach for a beer. Haven't really wanted a soda in ages, the big brands all taste sickeningly chemicall-y to me now.

Drinking a beer carries (to me at least) much more weight than drinking a soda. It has alcohol so I can't drink more than ~2 in a night (or if affects my sleep), and to be honest my body just doesn't want to drink more than one or two a day anyways. A big part of it was only buying half decent beer that has a lot more flavor than a miller or bud so it encourages you to sip it more like a nice coffee or cocktail then just chugging it down.

Similar story with coffee - it is caffeinated so I can't drink more than 1 or 2 a day (again, with the sleep...) but it just brings me so much joy to make a nice cappuccino with breakfast. Overall it tastes infinitely better than drowning a crap drip coffee with sugar, and with the milk based coffees there is just so much more flavor in the cup to experience with and explore (different coffees, roasts, grinds...).

Long story short, if you are dead set on cutting out drinking from your life I suggest that you pick up something similarly rewarding to replace drinking with. The obvious choice would be some other sort of stimulant -- Sugar? caffeine? THC? Your cravings could just be that your body is looking for carbs and knows that beer is an easy way to get them.

Best of luck

PS - if you want to experiment with non-alcoholic beers, Athletic has a line that is a significant cut above the rest which you can get in most grocery stores now. I personally prefer the "run wild" but the "upside dawn" is also decent if you are more into ales.
I found a good herbal medicine - valerian - to cut off alcohol day after big benders. You know when you are tired, start dozing off but get startled. I used to fallback to more alcohol to fall asleep, but valerian mitigates this.

Same here, DevDiv is now polyglot focused, so you will see regular comments from .NET folks on other languages as well (mainly Java and Go). David Fowler tends to tweet every now and then about them as well.
That’s doubtful. The word environmentalism has a definition and it quite simply is not a human-centric one, so there’s no agenda, whatever that was supposed to mean. Stretching it to mean something else, for whatever reason the original commenter wanted to, doesn’t really make sense other than to apparently place blame on environmentalists.

Environmentalism is a question of balance and sustainability of entire ecosystems and environments. The idea is that by restoring balance, everyone benefits, including humans. How nuclear threats apply to that other than yet another source of environmental pollution or how it’s supposedly on environmentalists is beyond me.

of course, that's why we have central banks and fiat currency.

Science only comes in two flavors:

* Experiments (comparisons)

* Research (evidence gathering)

Fortunately science is simply defined by a single approach: the Scientific Method.

The crazy thing is that mass incarceration is relatively new in the US. Are Prisons Obsolete by Angela Davis was a real eye-opener for me.
There are plenty of countries with weak government that does not do much psyop on the citizens, and where the governance actively hurts itself.

But it does not automatically lead to more rights, less restrictions, more power (There is always a mobster class with more power, but I doubt that is what you want).
In Finland, at least, this is a thing. Parking enforcement is partially given to private companies but I don't know how it works with the underlying mechanisms (i.e. whether they are getting a fixed sum, or whether they get a fraction of the fines they fine).

If the requirements are moderate adoption and great technological potential, a few candidates that come to mind are smartwatches, VR, smartglasses, eink notepads, convergence smartphones (à la Samsung Dex).

Alcohol is a slow killer. Physical addiction takes about 10 years to form. First, it's barely noticeable. People think it's age, and "after 30 hangover lasts for 2 days". But that is not actually being hang over. It is the symptom of alcohol withdrawal. Mild one at first, but more severe as physical addiction settles in.

Drinking 3-4 days a week seems like "okay". However, it basically means drinking whenever withdrawal symptoms kick in. This is creating a feedback loop, that is very hard to notice, because it is mild, and also socially accepted.

If you really want to know how addicted you are, stop drinking completely for a week.

If you find yourself unable to sleep, or sweating all over the place, or having weird stomach or muscle pain, or have unexpected mood swings: you already have a physical addiction to alcohol.
If you could do it all over again but today, how would you do it? I may just act on it

Excerpt:

--

Kees Cook did do a little research on, seemingly, the only distribution that still supports Alpha (Gentoo) and found that the only ECOFF files present contained firmware, which does not run on the CPU anyway. He concluded that there would be no harm from removing a.out support on this platform: ""Let's do it"".

It seems to be a universal rule that somebody always has to come along to ruin the party. In this case, just as it seemed like there were no further obstacles to the removal of a.out, James Jones showed up to let it be known that he was still using a.out:

The use case is running an old set of tools to build programs for the Atari Jaguar. Namely, Atari's assembler (mac) and linker (aln). The alternative is running windows versions in dosbox, or using some replacements that have been developed based on an even older, less-featureful version of the source code for mac and aln, but which still haven't managed to add back in all the features needed to build some programs or use the Atari debugging tools (Also available in a.out only)."

You can't seriously compare the assertions pushed through the media after 9/11 to the multitudes of sensory and social evidence that Ukraine was attacked.

I opposed GWOT / going into Iraq after 9/11, I have not forgotten the collective national mania.

But the comparison you're drawing to Ukraine is nonsense. If you're at the point where you believe all the reports, images and interviews detailing the millions of refugees crossing out of Ukraine have been faked... I'm not sure how to help you.
This is a good hack, and it works better than a lot of alternatives, albeit Linux-on-Linux VMs have arguably few uses since systemd-nspawn exists (so you can just --bind the Pipewire socket in the VM)
> I think once you see how the sausage is made you start to see science for what it is: just another complicated, fallible process built by many fallible people with a wide set of perverse incentives that produce a lot of good things and a lot of garbage.

To me this sounds like a major misconception of what science is.

Scientists aren't expected to be infallible, let alone right at the first try. Science is an iterative process of building knowledge and understanding of how things work, which by definition means there's always stuff that is not known and misconceptions on how things work. The output of science is progress, hut the bleeding edge is often riddled with swing-and-misses.

As a clear example, see how the plate tectonics theory was addressed initially by the scientific community.
