There's not a great vaporizer product for dry herb unfortunately that doesn't cost hundreds, plus they are mostly "session style" vaporizers where you preheat an oven and are expected to vape it all or else a lot is wasted. There's the vapecap and copies that are more "on demand" like a normal pipe, where you use a butane torch to heat up the device each hit, but they don't work well for people with a higher tolerance and take quite a bit of technique from what I've read. With my experience with a pax too, these things are picky about being perfectly clean or the taste will change, the airflow will be poor, and the switch for it will be gunked to the point the device can't even turn on if its not stored standing straight up at all times. I was also disappointed with reddit's favorite the mflb which has a few inherent flaws (batteries degrade fast and its just not nearly as strong as smoking for whatever reason).

It seems like a market ripe for disruption to be honest, the undisputed king among non portable vaporizers at least is still the volcano vaporizer which came out over 25 years ago. I think that's why distillate cartridges are so popular, because they avoid all these issues dry herb vapes seem unable to work around. They don't smell very much at all compared to a dry herb vape, they are cheap, they have no maintenance issues or learning curve, and they are on and off with a click of a button.
>> An employer cannot prohibit

This is my biggest pet peeve with YouTubers. THEY ARE NOT EMPLOYEES OF YOUTUBE.

employment laws do not apply to a youtuber, unless they are employed by some other company, but they do NOT have an employment relationship with YouTube, they are not "employees" of YouTube, and Susan Wojcicki is not "their boss"

Why Do You Get Sick in the Winter? Blame Your Nose
I spent a lot of time with it a few years back developing some documentation. I had actually forgotten the correct syntax and had to look it up. It was a lot of fun to use, though.

I should probably brush up on it a bit and maybe use it for some crap we have at work that's incomprehensible ("What calls what again? Does anyone know? And it's a bespoke language so there is no tooling to help? Shit.")
Yeah, this whole “shopping trip” thing is probably just a courier leaving it in their car.

Kind of an interesting world we live in where having anything packed by another person means that they could have full access to your location.

I also wonder if the person got a bunch of those anti-stalking notifications…
US copyright law still explicitly permits copying programs you lawfully acquired for backup and use.

Frankly it’s not clear to me how that interacts with the anti-circumvention clause of the DMCA, but most software licenses are based on an outright lie: that you need a license to load the program into memory and execute it after having legally acquired the code.
From the article:

> Total expenses are 30400 USD (5% of earnings). That includes Lego parts (7600 USD) and other stuff like film equipment (22800 USD). Such a low expense comes from having a lean video production. I do everything myself: design Lego builds, film, edit, buy parts, do the accounting. No salary is paid to external people. I don’t belong to an MCN.

It sounds like you've insulated yourself from the astronomical violence of Mexico in one of its towns that caters to you but it's not the truth of the country: you're living in your own kind of walled up community town and telling yourself it's representative of the country at large.
I own a small career related channel (135k subs) and adsense account for roughly 5-7% of our revenue. The majority of revenue coming from sponsorships. It depends highly on what niche you are in, as some other channels have much higher % accounting for ad revenue
Because the calling function isn't using it at the time. Rust isn't proving something about the number of references in memory; it's proving something about the dynamic behaviour of the program, i.e. that there can be at most one reference actively being used to mutate it, at a time.

Hence there's no problem cloning a mutable reference implicitly, when calling a function. Notice that you can't for instance send it to another thread, however.
No locks means people are less likely to break the windows and leave a mess or get injured themselves.
The medium is better for expressing thoughts (you can write a decent-sized blog post in a single Mastodon post). It has most of the effective bits of Twitter, and many of the effective bits of the peak, RSS-soaked blogosphere. If the tooling gets better, I can see it being better than the golden age of Google Reader.

It also makes sense that you can stand up your own Mastodon, in the same sense as you could stand up WordPress back in the day. Most people won't, but the fact that you can, and that the ability to do so is baked into protocol, keeps development interesting. It also makes it more interesting for third party clients, which Twitter has spent the last decade trying to eradicate. So that's a second (and probably third) reason.

Perhaps ironically, these are also reasons that I think the norms of the "fediverse" aren't going to matter in the long term. I think the software approach is important, and the notion of a single "decentralized social network" is not.
> I didn't say it was simple. I believe what I said: "we have no hope of long-term survival anywhere, because of our own stupidity."

Then give up and cede the floor to the people who are actually trying to do something about the future of humanity. If you're really this defeatist about the whole thing, you aren't contributing anything to the conversation.

Also, you aren't contributing anything to the conversation in general. You've managed to quote almost everything I wrote in my post except for one of the central points, which was: "Environmental issues are a question of tradeoffs and cost-benefits." You ignore that while quoting just about everything else to provide snippy and dismissive comments that aren't really engaging with anything. Of course, why would you contribute anything of value if you're philosophically committed to dismissive doomsaying.
Those things are not the same though!

Cars and Houses do not perform in the same way financially.

Houses tend to increase in value, Cars tend to decline in value.

There are, of course, outliers in both markets.
this misses the point. The root of the housing shortage problem in Canada, Australia and New Zealand is zoning. Zoning plus NIMBYs make housing wasteful by allowing only single family houses in vast areas of prime land.

This is a simple supply-demand problem, not anything complicated. The solution is equally simple - make zoning laws basic and limited in scope.
>What should they do to support workers?

Zone for more housing.
Well, for almost all educated people in the third world, UK passport is worth it; for that matter, any Western passport. After getting the citizenship, sure, they can move to Dubai or anywhere else. Having a Nigerian passport or an Indian passport doesn't make it easy to get a tourist visa to the western countries.
I'm electing not to. I don't want to put any one specific persons behavior under a microscope publicly. There are specific examples that I'm thinking of, but linking to a video of them attaches a face, voice, name, etc.

I'd hate to put myself out there doing a talk and be on the receiving end of that sort of indirect criticism. It wouldn't be feedback to the person, it'd just be something for us to argue about whether they're exhibiting a given behavior or not.
I agree with you. The other point it makes to me is that AI art generation doesn't turn non-artists into artists, no matter how many programmer types suddenly think they can replace artists now. You still need a developed sense of taste and style, which lets face it, outside of software, many programmers do not have.
Once evolution "kicked in"?

There are not multiple mutable references in the same scope. The mutable reference is only valid for the scope of the function `f()`. This doesn't sound like a problem understanding mutable references but a problem understanding scope.

Sacrifice similar to the Chernobyl fire brigade, except all day, every day for 30-50 years to get the colony up and running.

And besides I really dont get this whole backup plan doctrine.

Backups by definition are as fungible as the original, but if the Earth is destroyed the Mars colony has no chance.

Whatever the odds of survival are for Earth, the odds for the Mars colony are orders of magnitude worse.

Looks like it’s not even a worthwhile sacrifice

This whole thing strikes me as silly. Problems accessing services while alone in a boat in the middle of the sea is not anything like the general problem of preserving information and technology. We don't need to make knowledge individually accessible and maintainable because humans generally don't try to do that by themselves. And humans are actually really good at preserving the knowledge they care about. Kids in school read a poem first written down 2500 years ago about an event that occurred 500 years before that. The dead sea scrolls failed to overturn the world of biblical scholarship because it turned out the later copies of the texts were actually quite accurate. The fact that our devices don't just work without a supply chain and a steady source of power, or that there are 20 year old games almost nobody cares about which we can no longer play just doesn't signify that much. Nor does the fact that the BBC couldn't figure out how to preserve some chunk of data for 10 years.

Depends what your medium is, and if it’s close to your work. I post on my blog, youtube, twitter, have a podcast, etc. in my field and I’d say…

Pros:

- super helpful to get a job

- great to create an audience if, like me, you need it later to promote a project. my book (real world cryptography) wouldn’t have had so much success if I hadn’t started blogging and tweeting years before even starting writing

- great for “quick thoughts and planting seeds”. You have no idea how much of your thoughts and learnings can actually help people. All the small realizations and things you learn can easily be small blogposts or tweets or podcast eps

- meeting people. If people know you its easier to get to talk to some people, or get invited in working groups or conferences or …

- get accepted at conferences, or for teaching a course, or for writing a book, etc.

- people listen to you. It’s easy to have your voice be drowned in the noise, but when you have a platform people are listening to what you have to say and that’s a great feeling

- some jobs might like the fact that you can be an “influencer”

- it forces you to analyze how you’re expressing yourself and communicating. And this is the best way to improve at these things (and they are extremely valuable skills at work and outside of work)

- people can correct you. When you write wrong things people will often correct you and you’ll learn a lot more than if you had kept your learnings all to yourself

Cons:

- it’s easy to make enemies. The more you share the more you’ll offend. And in these days and age careful if you tweet while under the influence ;) you can get cancelled

- it can get depressing. The whole 24/7 tweeting scene.

- it’s not rewarding for years of work. A blog can only take off after blogging for many many years, and consistently
If there was a car-note interest deduction like there is a mortgage interest deduction, you can bet that every car owner would apply pressure to shutter car factories, effectively shifting value to the spare parts market to remain sustainable.
You've skipped pretty much most of my argument, but I'll humour you nonetheless. There's no such thing as science being out of the loop. Read my other comment, if you're pushing this unverified "technology" as a cure for depression, you're doing something dangerous and immoral. Just because you found value in this, does not mean it's an alternative to evidence-based, and tested methods. I also solved my depression by very alternative methods, but I also strongly advise people against the methods I used, since they're very much so a "your mileage will very" methods.

>If they can't replicate these simple patterns and techniques they just make themselves look foolish

Consider if the scientific community; a group who has studied everything from astral projection, to the reaction that created the atom bomb; has been unable to replicate the anecdotal results, that it's possible the anecdotal results are caused by confounding factors.

The power of "I want to believe" is very strong.

> That can't be true.

But it is. From a 2010 meta-analysis:

The huge popularity of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) therapies and training has not been accompanied by
knowledge of the empirical underpinnings of the concept. The article presents the concept of NLP in the light of empirical
research in the Neuro-Linguistic Programming Research Data Base. From among 315 articles the author selected 63
studies published in journals from the Master Journal List of ISI. Out of 33 studies, 18.2% show results supporting
the tenets of NLP, 54.5% - results non-supportive of the NLP tenets and 27.3% brings uncertain results. The qualitative
analysis indicates the greater weight of the non-supportive studies and their greater methodological worth against the
ones supporting the tenets. Results contradict the claim of an empirical basis of NLP.

18% is statistically insignificant.

Frankly, I'm glad you were able to overcome your depression. Really, the fact that you did this speaks more to your strength as a person than the strength of NLP. Overcoming depression isn't easy -- it's something I have also struggled with. Rather than credit this, I think you should be crediting yourself.
You could probably use aluminum stock from eg Lowe's as rails. I built a bunch of solar panel brackets from that last year and remember being surprised by how cheap it was.

Yeah I always assumed Palmolive was made of palm oil.

Though with all the misleading advertising these days who knows.. I don't know chemistry well enough to determine this.
I've got mixed feelings about this. I'm leaning towards agreeing with you, because testing for the most part should be about the contract and not specific implementation. However in rare cases, as part of early development phase perhaps, I could see this being a useful signal. Provided it gets refactored later on.

I suppose having lots of mocks is a smell after all..
>They left the free market to do its thing. And this is the end result of decades of free enterprise. We’ve built lots of housing for upper middle class because that’s profitable for builders and largely left the poor/young to be screwed.

Is that true? I'd imagine building a big block of, say, 100 units to be far more capital efficient than building a few freestanding homes, if zoning laws allowed it.

Love this idea, and in general agree that using a proto model as the single source of truth is a neat concept.

Not sure you need a completely new db though; with protobuf’s native support for plugins, perhaps the missing piece you’re looking for is a protoc plugin that generates the table definitions for your db of choice? Could work well for databases with declarative schemas..

Don’t want to discourage you from creating a new database, but writing a proto plugin is arguably a quicker undertaking!
> I dont remember the exact Chinese tax law change enacted by Xi (which effectively taxed foreign holdings), but it caused a mass exodus of Chinese investment and crashed the luxury good market for the Bellevue area over a handful of months.

China doesn't tax property even in China, so I would be surprised if it taxed property held in America. I haven't heard of any specific tax laws on foreign holdings (and in general, China unlike the USA does not tax worldwide income for its citizens and residents). What could have happened is something more informal, like a threat to the upper class to reign in their excess, but Bellevue, at least, is still heavily being populated by Chinese (primarily techies, not investors, who wouldn't be affected by whatever Xi said anyways).
