As most Canadians are aware, the media’s new attention on the intersection of MAID and housing prices is really just effective reporting because it’s a story we Canadians really want to hear.

My cynical reading is that individuals are being encouraged by support workers to give an interview saying they’re considering MAID, with the hope that the media attention will help them find a place to live. Obviously I don’t know this exact person’s situation, but having lived all over Canada, I can’t imagine a scenario where I’d choose death over a life outside of Toronto.
And indeed, the first person to use libertarianism as the name of a political ideology, Joseph Dejacque, vigourously agreed with Proudhon on that, while he described Proudhon as "moderate anarchist, liberal, but not libertarian".

My conclusion about the Estonian E-Residency program is that it is essentially useless, unless you want to become an Estonian tax resident by physically relocating to Estonia.

And there is a good reason why you would like to do that[1]:

> For the ninth year in a row, Estonia has the best tax code in the OECD.

For instance, if you live in Estonia, you can use an Estonian limited liability company to manage all your investments without paying any taxes at all, as long as you don't withdraw any money from it.

ADHD is much more complicated than a broken leg. This analogy is very liable to fall apart.

If, for example, you've been taught to walk without your leg (or if you have three legs, all left feet, whatever), using a crutch doesn't make much sense.

We can't safely poke someone's head and test their dopamine levels. So we aren't good at differentiating what could potentially be learned cognitive behaviors | brain structure | genetics from hormonal neurology. Hell, these could all be the same thing on so many levels, but it takes only one to mark a meaningful difference.

Point is, different people are different. And it's rude to think you know someone's experience well enough to liken it to "punching yourself in the face".

> sourceless claims

Excuse me? There's roughly 60 years of research into the effectiveness of stimulants as a treatment for ADHD. It is probably the single best researched psychiatric drug.

While it's always useful to discuss a proven treatments relevance in the light of newly discovered alternatives, there really is no (significant) doubt in the scientific community about the effectiveness of stimulants. Given the body of evidence, I would say it's more fair to ask you to add some citations to your comments.

> These are literally two identical substances

Yes, they are. That doesn't mean that in patients with a dopamine dysregulation they don't have great therapeutic effect. One could call the euphoria nothing but an unfortunate side-effect leading to abuse in the general population.

> numbers of amphetamine addicts

So, there are addicts. That has nothing to do with therapeutic use.

> Yes, they should be cautions in my opinion.

Since they aren't prescribed to self-diagnosed ADHD patients, there should always be a doctor involved. And I can tell you the titration and monitoring is taken quite seriously, at least where I'm from.

> Using crutches can make physical rehabilitation impossible.

If you're missing a leg, that rehabilitation is going to take a long long time. As will be the case with ADHD. You might learn to cope better, but your symptoms aren’t going anywhere. ADHD isn’t something that generally gets better with age, although better coping skills may mean some people don’t experience as much of an impact on life.

And yes, stimulants are a crutch, but they do help people function better despite their disability.

I noticed in one of my crates that Rust often cannot optimize "moves" away. I was in the unusual situation where I had to move around a very large stack buffer(typically in Rust they live on the heap). Instead of passing it back and forth between moving functions as I originally designed, I had to redesign it to use macros which significantly improved my benchmarks. Further attention to optimizations here would be very welcome.

Podman has a feature that Docker does not yet have: Socket activation of containers.
I created a proof-of-concept demo of how to run an nginx container with rootless Podman and socket activation.

Using socket activation has some security and performance advantages:

- Native network performance over the socket-activated socket

- Possibility to restrict the network in the container

- Possibility to at the same time restrict the network in Podman and the OCI runtime

- The source IP address is preserved

- Podman installation size can be reduced

Why do you put legally in quotes? Is it because you think there was zero downside risk to maxing out a Roth contribution with start up stock? The article conveniently leaves out all the possible downsides.

Seems like the problem is wealth inequality, and going after people who follow the rules (that they had no part in influencing) is a waste of time, and reduced quality of discourse due to decrease in trust.

Less a mental health problem than a mere insecurity.

> In most programming languages, the order of the two statements would be well defined, and neither would be dead code.

There are no statements in the above examples, just expressions (composed of other expressions). Evaluation order of expressions is not well defined in "most popular languages", e.g. consider this expression:

printSecondArgument(
query(connection, "INSERT INTO t1 VALUES ('abc')"),
query(connection, "SELECT * FROM t1")
)

> Trying to make all statements implicitly concurrent unless they have explicit dependencies is a terrible way to complicate your life

I agree, that's one reason why I dislike statements (see my list in a parent comment)

> It is obvious to everyone that distributed code, eventual consistency, and other similar non-totally-ordered examples are much harder to get right than procedural code.

This is a category error. All code is distributed; the world is partially-ordered. "Procedural code" (i.e. serial/sequential execution) is a strategy for dealing with that. It's particularly easy (give each step a single dependency; its "predecessor"), but also maximally inefficient. That's often acceptable when running on a single machine, and sometimes acceptable for globally-distributed systems too (e.g. that's what a blockchain is).

Forcing it by default leads to all sorts of complication (e.g. multithreading, "thread-safety", etc.). Making it opt-in gives us the option of concurrency, even if we write almost everything in some "Serial monad" (more likey, a continuation-passing transformer)

Yeah. I’m pretty familiar with the history of their tech, and the problems with DAML and how they architected everything predate the surface syntax being Haskell.

The way daml is setup makes it more of a weird sibling of GRPC for stateful resource protocols. But where you have to write your own db and interpreter tooling to ingest the commands if you want all the usual nice things you’d expect from a database

This English-only white guy was tasked with supporting Ruby in an early implementation of iBooks. Ha ha, that was a whole new world I had to try to come up to speed on. In the end it was, for my part, a lot of wrangling with CoreText to get a vertical layout positioned correctly.

Just scrolling through this site makes my head spin. (Also makes me wonder what the hell Apple were thinking when they dropped that in my lap.)

I assumed that WebView would eventually add support for Ruby and my code could be ripped out ... I have no idea if that ever came to pass (I moved to another team within Apple not long after I had finished the Ruby code).

Does it exist a dedicated place where I can buy old 8-bit and 16-bit era computers and game consoles like C64, Amiga, Apple II, NES, etc, and periphery for them as old CRT monitors and floppy drives for example? eBay exists but there is a great chance the hardware from there is in not working condition. It will be great if there exists a dedicated store for such hardware.

And the second question is does exist a place where I can send such hardware for restoration? Like what can be watched on channels like "The 8bit Guy"[1] and "Adrian's Digital Basement"[2].

Our codebase is was (and is) old, but the forced change came recently, when ubuntu decided to remove python 2 support (ubuntu 20.04?). And when ubuntu decides that they want python >=3.12 as the only version installed, this means another change and more work to fix stuff that worked just fine.

My money (but not a lot of it) is on Microsoft Excel. Its number arithmetic is, let’s say, special.

Microsoft claims they use IEEE 754 floats (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/troubleshoot/excel/...), but they don’t completely do that.

For example, do

A1: 0.3
A2: 0.2
A3: 0.1
A4: =A1-A2-A3
A5: =(A1-A2-A3)
B4: =A4=0
B5: =A5=0

A4 will show as “0”, A5 as “-2.77556E-17”, and B4 and B5 show these aren’t purely display issues. B4 shows “TRUE”, B5 shows “FALSE”.

My hunch is that they sometimes use BCD arithmetic.

Personally, I'm on the fence about using server side rendering (which PHP is pretty good at) versus just writing RESTful APIs, because browsers now have fetch API built in which makes consuming them easy (no need for jQuery or necessarily even something like Axios).

From what I've read, learning and memory is contextual. Not only location, but state of mind, and even altered stated of mind (e.g., alcohol). Which also explains those human moments when you've forgotten (e.g.) why you went into the kitchen and have to go back to the dining room to remember why.

> I still believe that suicide should never be the option and people that are considering it should really seek professional psychological help.

It is weird to me that our society is so fixated on autonomy, self-sufficiency, bootstrapping, competition, and exploitation right up until someone has the desire to exit the whole thing. At that point they get just enough interest from others to keep them alive so they can continue feeding the sick system.
> nobody's defined what they want to get done

Just keeping things running requires a certain amount of knowledge and effort. F.Elon wants to do that with an absolute minimum headcount (or more precisely a minimum wage expenditure). That means actively driving away the most talented, in favor of those willing to flirt with burnout and deliver the most work per dollar. The model is basically a high-tech sweatshop.
This thread really describes the issues with all drug use. Drugs (licit or illicit) affect people differently.

How about we agree that drugs can be beneficial and harmful, but keep them legal for the large percentage of people it actually helps.
