Some accomplishments that don't get nearly enough credit in discussions like this are art, movies and music.

Countless artists, writers and musicians were influenced by psychedelics. It's not hard to make an argument that the music most people listen to and love today would not exist without the influence of psychedelics.

The Beatles are just one super famous example, where the influence of psychedelics on their music is super obvious and the tremendous influence of The Beatles is undeniable, but the same could be said of many if not most 60's/70's musicians, which in turn had huge influence on what followed, not to mention the obvious influence of psychedelics on psytrance and dance/club music in general.

Something else to consider is that from the time psychedelics were outlawed until very recently admitting psychedelic use was taboo, and so many psychedelic users were in the closet.

These are more open times, so some people are admitting it now, but many are still in the closet because coming out as a psychedelic user could still negatively impact your job prospects, the way society in general views you, and perhaps your relationships with people you care about.

So there are probably way more psychedelic users out there than most people realize, and their accomplishments when taken as a whole are very significant.

How much of such accomplishments were due to the influence of psychedelics? We don't have enough information to say for certain, but there have been studies on the effects of psychedelics on creativity[1][2][3] which show a positive effect. That's not to mention the well demonstrated potential of psychedelics to help with depression, the alleviation of which could also help users to create and contribute to society.

If you can get five to ten years for selling a few thousand pills of fentanyl, it stands to reason that you may get fifty or thereabouts for running a marketplace where hundreds of such sales took place.

I'd also say that there's a significant moral difference between a first time offender, and a 'first time caught offender'. Al Capone and Bernie Madoff were also 'first time offenders' when they went to prison.

You don't whoops one-time-bad-lapse-of-judgement stumble into running a gang, a decade-long fraud... Or the biggest drug marketplace in the world.
It doesn't really: the problem is the exchanges dont store money in banks in the first place, they give it immediately to deltec to get USDT, then monkey around with it. Then ofc some of it is FDIC insured for a small amount, but they advertise it shadily to make you believe you're insured up to that amount.

Even FTX got fined for their abusive use of FDIC marketing...

Please don't presume anything about people's mental health. I have alcoholism, social anxiety and depression.

I stated my point badly, obviously anxiety is not rational, but on a rational level the stakes of a job interview are quite low (you can take another). It's not like stage fright where if you mess up your performance you could lose your job - you'll likely never see these people again. In that respect it's a bit closer to social anxiety.
You are looking for a Crypto utopia where everyone is as "enlightened" as you. When something goes mainstream that gets lost. However I suspect if Crypto hadn't gained the popularity (and paper value) it did it might not be as fun as you think.

Yeah, and then you have the core banking system tied with scotch tape and bubble gum in the 1950s, that drives a business worth tens of billions of dollars and for which a modern rewrite would probably cost a billion dollars.

During the 2010 World Cup, Twitter crashed every time a goal was scored. It was a major motivation for the rearchitecture that changed it from a monorail to services. The rock-solid stability during the 2014 World Cup vindicated that effort.

With that context, the performance during this World Cup will be especially meaningful.
Yes, that's what I meant by "I understand it". Obviously anxiety is not rational, but on a rational level the stakes of an interview are lower than a lot of other things.

In practice it really does mean self documenting code.

Like variables called "daysSinceDocumentLastUpdated" instead of "days". The why comes from reading a sequence of such well described symbols, laid out in a easy to follow way.

It doesn't do away with comments, but it reduces them to strange situations, which in turn provides refactoring targets.

Tbh, its major benefit is the fact that comments get stale or don't get updated, because they aren't held in line by test suites and compilers.

Most comments I come across in legacy code simply don't mean anything to me or any coworkers, and often cause more confusion. So they just get deleted anyway.
Could also be the Alter Ego Effect (there's a book with the same title about it).
Go's fmt enforces some parts of formatting, like indentation, spaces vs. tabs and spacing around brackets and parentheses. But it is by no means a complete style guide. Fmt doesn't give your packages, structs or methods reasonable names automatically. Fmt doesn't tell you where to use values and where to use structs, what your interfaces should be, and how large your functions should be.

There is still room for a style guide.

> Though Z-library has been seized officially, it seems to still be available on Tor, a browser that enables anonymous web surfing.

These should not be available in public platforms, at all.

Existence of helpful but illegal stuff should only be shared over one-to-one chat, small group chats, and in-person.

Widespread coverage of Z Library is what it banned in the first place.

Everyone knows Libgen now, but 6/7 years ago- not so much. We shared the news with classmates, friends, and peers whom we trusted and asked them to share it only with people that they trust. This is how seriously we took Libgen's (albeit open) secrecy.

Now dumb people ruined LibGen by broadcasting on TikTok.
Maybe the majority are flexible, but they don't post their opinions on the internet because they're not extreme enough to warrant posting?

You should probably amend this, since this is very misleading to people unfamiliar with the Dutch tax regime. As you are aware, in the Netherlands net wealth (not capital gains / appreciation) is taxable. (Even if you consider the appreciation consequently also taxable, it's certainly not immediate, as the wealth is only assessed once a year).
There are employment agreements, but they typically only cover protections for the company - not stealing IP, no competition clause, etc.

Since most states are at will employment, you don’t need a reason to fire someone, just like an employee doesn’t need a reason to quit. Both parties can end employment without cause at any time for any reason. There are some varying exceptions to this, but it’s mostly the case.
This is only in the reality where nobody is shown the table.

To me, people stating that they don't care about corporation having their data because they're just one person are equally as valid as those who think voting is useless because they're just one ballot.

Those people then typically complain about election results or corporation bending them over, without ever questioning their own responsibility in the outcome.
I'm guessing the main part of the content (for example the news story) is rendered server side, the client-side adds any personalisation if the user is logged in etc and adds panels for 'related'/most liked/read more news stories etc.

This means the content can be both crawled for SEO and cached (there's cache hit and fastly headers in their responses)

Except that's not true at all. What he did is saddle it with a bunch of debt and fire of a bunch of really-poorly-considered cosr cutting and revenue enhancement ideas that clearly weren’t thought through or part of a coherent strategy.

He might have and end-game vision, but he had no plausible roadmap to deal with the sucking wounded he inflcted with the acquisition, much less to get to his end-game vision.

Server Side Kotlin, but Without a JVM
At first glance, that question makes sense; however, fmt doesn't cover all code format issues. Ex from the post:

> Line length

> There is no fixed line length for Go source code. If a line feels too long, it should be refactored instead of broken. If it is already as short as it is practical for it to be, the line should be allowed to remain long.

> Do not split a line:

> Before an indentation change (e.g., function declaration, conditional)

>To make a long string (e.g., a URL) fit into multiple shorter lines

fmt doesn't force arbitrarily short lines in lieu of readability (looking at you python + pep8; I can't recall how many lines of code were a few characters long and pep8 formatting made the multiple lines a mess to visually parse). The Google Team decided that it was important to not break up perfectly readable lines and gave guidance on how to do that.
Have you ever wondered if you can run a Kotlin server without any Java/JVM dependencies? Kotlin/Native makes it possible!
Discord is absolutely horrible for discovery tho. It's fine for private communities but it is entirely ungooglable so you need the other forms of media to even get people to attend say your community around some video game.

I actually detest some companies using it as official communication for their product as none of the question answered are googlable so instead of googling "how to do X" and get some forum post, there is nothing and you have to sign onto their discord and ask same question.
This limited definition of "indentured servitude" would describe the analogs to H-1B visas in most Western countries, which I think does a disservice to other problems with the US system that aren't as common: its cost to businesses/employees, the inconsistency in achieving permanent resident status, etc.
My background is in humanities but the dynamics are the same: Chasing the goal of objectivity, easily measurable datapoints like number of publications and number of citations are used for quantifying impact of a researcher. This incentivizes researching/publishing low hanging fruit, because actually working on deep or unusual approaches means sinking more time into the endevour while risking less or no publishable results. For people trying to earn a living in academic institutions this would be stupid.

You want the error to still be there if the user focuses on the input again, though. And you also want to error to appear immediately when the user blurs the input - you don't want them to be three fields ahead when you finally tell them about their first error!

In general I agree that we should be looking for CSS/built-in solutions to these sorts of input state problems, but this is one of those cases where you either use JavaScript, or accept the accessibility hit. (Bearing in mind that JavaScript itself can be an accessibility hit in its own right.)

> Exceptions are for exceptional cases isn't just a performance thing, it's a reasoning thing: You're jumping out of the established control flow and there should be a very good reason for that.

Python uses exceptions for all sorts of things like to signal the end of an iteration which isn’t exceptional at all. That ship sailed a long time ago.
That video interview is so valuable, by presenting a real case, that was successful in beating cancer, with some novel approach. It's good for people to be aware of this. This is not about Eric Berg.
> We find that higher novelty is consistently associated with higher acceptance; submissions in the top novelty quintile are 6.5 percentage points more likely than bottom quintile ones to get accepted.

Ok, so “novel” research is 6.5% more likely to be accepted if submitted, but how likely is it to even be submitted? I would argue that doing “novel” research is much riskier at the earlier stages, and that you need to look at the whole process.

Here’s a thought experiment to perhaps better explain what I mean: Let’s say you’re playing roulette, but with slightly modified rules. If you bet on a color (red or black) you have a chance to double your money as usual. But if you bet on a single number and get it right you only make 6.5% more, or 2.13 your money. Would you bet on a color (i.e. be conservative) or a single number (i.e. try to be “novel”)?

Those numbers are very misleading - perf per watt is not a constant but something that very much depends on how far the clock speed is pushed. Anything tuned for perf is going to have significantly worse perf per watt than the architecture is capable of. The same goes for the CPU design - maximizing perf and maximizing perf per watt is going to give you different architectures on the same node.
