I'm not personally defending alcohol, but I think the reason it works for so many people is as long as you drink moderately the effects aren't so psychologically divisive (it works about the same on everyone), the health effects aren't that severe, and tolerance to it doesn't quite work like it does with other drugs. Since so many people drink, it opens up the largest number social opportunities when compared to anything else.

Hate it all you want, but I don't think anything will ever replace it. All its serious competitors have been around for just as long. There must be some deeper biological reason for it to be favored so heavily. I really don't think it's just marketing and cultural norms.
I'd be 100% down to help, if you do -- my 7th gen iPod Nano is the best MP3 player I've ever owned, the Bluetooth compatibility alone made it fantastic, and I'd love to get some new lease on life with it (or even just tinker with it. Being able to not be dependent on iTunes alone would be awesome)
Great, thank you for the insightful response! I’ll think about it more. I’m reading the Dune right now coincidentally, the observation about fear is very interesting.
Having a database separates the view from the model. If you want to modify the generated HTML, it's much easier with the comments being separate from the HTML itself.
They're normally on the corners of junctions, I always assumed they were to stop vehicles turning too sharply and cutting over the pavement.

Occasionally have seen a car stuck on top of one :)
I quitted this week because of same reasons. I was working over 11 years in the hope growing of the company will let me do more jobs that I prefer (coding). When I was younger I was able to work longer and in the night to enyoy my work by coding.
Nowadays, I don‘t want work 12 hours as manager and work nights for coding! I‘ve asked my boss several times to hire people for management and let me work as software developer, with no luck.
The decision before I quit took too many years (waiting and waiting). Because the work and domain we are working is very interesting. Every task is a challenge to be solved, which made me happy to find solutions. Over the years, the ratio involved in coding decreased. Even I have quitted, I am still sad. I want work in this company even I have quitted. Now I am trying to adopt me to the new situation. I have no motivation to apply for new jobs. I think my quitting was too late. I hope I can find the motivation back again to start a new opportunity and work again.
That's expensive as. Highest I've ever paid was 10 euros a pill.
Let's say you write an email client as a web app. Or a twitter client. Or perhaps an encrypted voice telephony webapp. Of course it is important for them to deliver notifications for those who want to receive them.

This isn't about regular web pages that want to annoy you.
No, that's what happens if people lack self-reflection. If they had asked themselves if there is any chance that they could possibly know better than someone who's working on a topic all the time, the answer would have been a resounding no, no matter the topic in question.
Overall the progress with Safari in the last has been great, and really shows why it's so important to have competition or even the threat of competition. It's only because of regulatory scrutiny that Apple has been pushed to give the Safari/Webkit the funds they need to make a good browser once again. Still a long way to go to catch up-to Firefox and Chrome but it's heading in the right direction.

>A leaked proposed EU act may force Apple to allow alternate browser rendering engines on iOS. This would give users the choice of which browser and rendering engine to use on their devices.

This has been passed into law. Enforcement should begin in 2024. The UK, Japan & Australia have all proposed similar provisions. Interop 2022 is a few features jointly chosen by the browsers to focus on and work on that year. It's not a good metric for comparing browsers.

>It is worth noting that these changes are still in draft and are early EU proposals with no final decisions yet made.
Again it is Final and has been passed into law.
> it really does, in retrospect, look like a lot of it was trying to get people onto a yearly vaccine plan

I think, yes, the companies are for sure rubbing their hands and thinking about the extra money from another mandated yearly vaccine. But the SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, though they have a short window of effectiveness (as do flu vaccines) have protected some people from severity of the symptoms and death, which is not a bad thing.

There may be some value in a yearly vaccine for at least susceptible people that covers a window of time where infection rates are typically highest.

Seriously what the hell are you talking about? Beside you can disable almost all animations if needed through accessibility features.
You are responding based in the research paper who were looking at the non COVID vaccines however as another poster has indicated a lot of doctors are only doing vaccinations if parents "agree to all required vaccines" which in most areas of the US they have added COVID to that list

So if doctors are only giving the other vaccines if parents alos.agree to the COVID one then naturally parents that are refusing just COVID one will also have to refuse the others

Seems like a bad idea to hold the other vaccines hostage unless people agree to take the COVID treatment
People love electric vehicles. Now, comes the hard part
You can also read the following "tutorial" on implementing the basic facilities of a forth right here:

I used that as a starting point to implement a trivial forth in golang.

There's a frightening crisis of trust in authority, and frankly those in authority are the only ones to blame. It's been brewing for decades. More recent causes of this decay:

-mixed messaging on basics from NIH on COVID in the early days, including outright lies (remember when wearing masks was bad for you?) -> Elites are clueless

-Mixed messaging from pretty much every global leader about the best approach to handling the pandemic, clearly showing there are many uncertainties and unknowns. HOWEVER instead of genuinely acknowledging and encouraging public discourse on these uncertainties beyond lip service, act in a very paternal manner then do whatever polls tell them to do. -> Elites are clueless and only care about retaining power

-Pfizer's CFO actually saying in a call in 2021 that when the pandemic is over, they will be able to drastically bump up the price on the vaccine, pricing out the global South ensuring a constant, annual "supply" of new variants to threaten the global North that can afford the annual booster. -> Elites are corrupt, in particular Pharma.

-The Sackler family faces zero consequences and kept their fortune. -> Elites are corrupt, in particular Pharma.

These are just three examples surrounding health and pharma, but like I said it's been brewing for decades (WMD, Banksters, Austerity, etc) and frankly I don't blame people for losing trust in authority like this. Especially given the education system is structured in a way to engender Trust in authority. Unless those in position of leadership face real consequences, inclusively serious prison time and loss of fortunes for their mistakes (accidental or otherwise) this corrosion will go on.

P.s. to the downvoters: please provide a comment including how any one of the above items does not erode trust in authority
The writer of the article is talking about the UK, where £5 to £10 has been the average price range for MDMA containing pills for ages.
All feelings, drug induced, or not aren't really there. None of it is real.

Truth is just an expression. I use it in the same light as "profoundness".

I understand the stigma associated with the drug. But the emotions generated by the drugs themselves are in reality actualized by the brain and that actualization cannot be invalidated. It is worth it to ask, think and wonder about this actualization even when you have no plans around taking the drugs yourself.
Keeping cars to the road, they're just bollards essentially as far as I know - just more decorative.
I think push messages in Safari got a mention.
If you give addicts pure heroin a lot of them can function just fine. We should consider the negative consequences of prohibition rather than just the drugs themselves.
I'd already be happy if all developers would be interested in well-behaved code that covers all possible edge cases, and not just the expected input/states, and would think in terms of well-defined software contracts between modules, objects and functions. Coincidentally, that would also take care of certain classes of security issues.
That summary is so high-level and abstract as to be useless.

At that level, we face coercion all the time: a traffic light is a form of coercion backed by the threat of state violence.

Does fighting back against that coercion explain why people run red lights?

Moreover, if it's the expected human response, what explains the 2% difference between now and the 2019-2020 school year? Do more people now think of themselves as having free will than a few years ago?
The existing companies that don’t do that give people 80 hrs of work at 50% pay.
And yet there are many people of all ages who would disagree and say other drugs (including alcohol) were just as life affirming and low risk based on their own life long usage.
Yearly? More like every 2-3 months. The shots are waning so fast plus new variants. It is entirely unsustainable.
Unfortunately, I can't enjoy DLP projectors due to the rainbow effect - It's LCD only for me.

This is really sad as it will probably cause unnecessary children deaths down the road.

I think public health authorities have serious soul-searching to do, this outcome was clearly warned upon by a lot of doctors and paediatricians who seen first hand parents not understanding why those authorities were pushing so hard novel mrna covid-19 vaccines on healthy children that were basically not at risk from this disease.
It's not a language solution, but an AST based linter perhaps? PyCQA might have one already; they definitely have a "consider using f-strings" lint you can turn on.
As Homer Simpson famously mused, “the cause of, and solution to, all of life’s problems”.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution offered trial subscriptions that claimed to bring back the "newspaper reading experience". While the layout was nicer, the ads far fewer in number, and it gave access to long form reporting before it was released to non-subscribers, almost none of the trackers were gone. Newspapers are some of the worst about using third party trackers to make money and even a subscription to the online version of the paper doesn't keep you from being tracked. The double dipping might work short-term but ultimately it seems self defeating as the demographics of those most likely to pay for a subscription likely overlaps quite a bit with those who don't want to be spied on. If there's a potential revenue stream, some manager somewhere in the company is going to try to access it and leverage it for their own benefit, regardless of the larger long-term impact on the company as a whole.
In Europe you don’t need to look further than legistlation.

Which already defines many things what you should consider in securing.

It is not pointless to talk about just ”security” if there is any data which should not be exposed to another party without permission. But if there some other concerns instead of that, then it gets complicated.
Not trying to disparage Perl, which has some utility, like most languages, notably fast regex engine and presence on many systems.

BUT: I've been writing Perl for much longer than Python, but despite wanting to write readable/maintainable code, Perl has a tendency to get you to a stage where your code looks cryptic (part of it is by design - Larry Wall, a linguist, values implicitness as "context" - I think explicitness, by contrast, should be aspired to, in order to avoid confusion). I've never written cryptic Python code (and I am not a particular Python fan, as I prefer statically typed compiled languages), but it should be said that clarity is one of Python's advantages.

I agree with you that it is easier to write readable Perl than readable FORTH, which could be due to the similarity of Perl with other non-stack imperative languages.
I believe he is saying that the state has ultimate authority over their child, not the parent.
> it'd be designed with keybindings for a modern keyboard - probably cloning vim.

Or not. This is something some have a hard time understanding, but some of us prefer a non-modal editor and like having simpler key chords instead of key sequences. After all, vi isn't that much younger than Emacs, and the technical underpinnings of its command language are just about as old as the oldest versions of TECO Emacs. My point is that the difference between vi-style keystrokes and Emacs-style is a matter of taste.
PL: programming language
Yes that’s correct. If you were owner operator you might be aligned with a particular firm (their name on your truck) and their dispatch would find you loads or you would also know people. You could have a dry van and look for generic loads but lots of guys I knew had specialised equipment (flatbed, tanker, etc) and over time you locked in good lanes and repeat customers. I met a tanker driver once who started in Florida, took orange juice to Canada, picked up some food ingredient in Canada , drove it to somewhere in Tennessee then took something from there to Florida. And repeat. He did that triangle for 10 years. Shipping used to be a real people business. If you had an unusual or unexpected load you’d call your 5-10 providers and they might have capacity or not, or do you a favour and call their buddies for you or not. That would almost always work out, if it didn’t you’d call the sales person from the new 3pl or trucking company who had been wanting your business and he/she would move mountains to get that chance. Definitely an interesting industry full of problems to solve. Don’t think it’s the same any more.
I already stated the risk is irrelevant to the discussion.

Here's a better way to phrase the question. Has someone who has taken both MDMA, heroin and Meth care to explain the differences in "profoundness" or "life affirmation" levels of each drug?

I suspect ignorance is bliss. People who haven't taken MDMA don't know how profound it is. People who have taken MDMA but not Meth don't realize that MDMA is childs play and that Meth is even more profound.
Lots of virtual machines are stack machines and lots of languages compile to bytecode for a virtual machine. I thought that bytecode being a language in its own right would be a good idea so tried using Forth for it. Had a rough plan of a toolchain resembling a ML implemented in a lisp compiled to a forth. There's an article (by Baker?) which showed recursion and iteration folding to the same code on a stack machine which is beautiful.

That project was an abject failure. I was not good at programming stack machines. I can't keep track of where things are on the stack. The Forth way seems to be using lots of short functions (uh, words) with predictable stack behaviour that compose to more complicated behaviour, and I struggle to keep track of many small functions too. Both combined is really tough. I essentially need to use a compiler to reliably target the stack VM.

It turns out I type while I think and that yields large, sprawling functions with dead paths and mistakes. That's then refined and factored as my thinking clears. A repl sort of works for this but there's a lot of reaching back to gather the pieces where the working ones are not clearly distinguished from the failed experiments. The large messy work in progress function strategy did not work at all in forth.

It's surely possible to retrain oneself to think the Forth way. Might be worthwhile, though it's hard to guess the value trade-off before doing so. People tell me it's worthwhile, and they were right about that with lisp, so I'm probably missing out.
I wonder how the ongoing dilution influences this.

For example, World of Warcraft has had the virtually identical Arcane Missiles spell for nearly twenty years now, and Terraria even had the identically-named Magic Missile for over a decade already.

In trademark law lack of enforcement can lead to the trademark becoming genericized, which is why words like Aspirin, Videotape, or Escalator are no longer trademarks but regular everyday words.

If you never enforce your IP rights despite being well aware of violations, and even actively promote use of it by third parties, at what point does it stop being IP and become common culture?
This looks similar to snapshot testing in UI, where you save an output of UI components and test system notifies you when the output changes. This can be useful to detect changes in components that you didn’t intend to change.

Poop jokes aside, it's an intriguing problem.
Being multilingual is the bane of the Apple input experience. My day-to-day interactions are in English, but I speak with family members in Russian.

Whenever a Russian text comes through, English Siri will be sure to mangle it, like Mojibake of the mid-90s and early-200s.

There is also no way to ask English Siri to play a song with a non-English title. There actually seems to be a cottage industry of Russian songs on Apple Music with literal translations for this reason.

Russian Siri has a pretty good success rate at picking up English speech but I just don’t want Russian Siri for the rest of the day.

Don’t get me started if you have a multi-language household and want to have HomeKit and Siri.

I think the solution would be to have a UI for picking primary, secondary and tertiary languages for voice interactions. Sadly, I think there won’t be any work done because it’s not perceived as a priority, despite Apple’s messaging at inclusivity and diversity.
Also you're hostage due to vendor lock, and you'll have to pay even if they raised a price or you had a bad quarter.

That's huge risk, liability and often productivity gains are greatly overstated.
Those people clearly have not done MDMA
Modes don't do embedding. Try having a fully-seperate mode for a comment section in your code. Try to do that contextually, too.

Modes don't do that. Neither do they let you control the underlying structure, they give you no ability to treat structures as objects. Yes, they do provide a common interface, but that's where the pros end. Ofc its emacs, and there are projects like Multi-Major-Modes that at least try to subdivide a document into editable areas... speaking of ridiculously slow.
The point of the generation is to build type safe API clients, not for the runtime behavior, so that doesn’t really fly unfortunately.
Barnmead Road ( https://goo.gl/maps/uGXKSum8azGJLbU29 ) has particularly terrible roads and pavements. It's actually deliberate, because it's a conservation area.
There are many other sites like this built to facilitate the removal of revenge porn and sending DMCA requests to sites who use the material of amateur and professional performers.

It’s good for you to shine a light on the problematics aspects of this tech but this is a decades old industry so I think you are being a bit harsh by treating the poster as if they are creating a new problem.
It is almost unperceivable to people who truly have faith, that other might not believe in the same higher authority as them.

This is a story as old as time.
A few things.

First of all, you see how things disappear from the list or go down?

Yeah that is because a frigton of opensource maintainers, usually unpaid devs just so you know, spend a lot of time making sure these attacks are impossible.

Like i am sorry but the whole software world is in love with Rust and spitting on C for a reason. We care a lot about security.

What we do not care about is something unactionable or unrealistic. And that? That is what security bring to the table.

Put it otherwise. Being big on the infosec workd buzzwords does not pay devs bills and do not generate money. So we solve the problem in our tools.

It just happens that this work is invisible to you and society in general.

Put otherwise. If we did not care about it, the list would be far far worse. Like we would not have TLS. Think about this a minute.
Buying inside a club is usually more expensive (for everything).

On MDMA alcohol isn't really needed (and is usually detrimental to the experience). So its a cheap night out.

You might have a couple of beers, but not the massive and expensive overconsumption that is usually the "norm".
The hydraulic power utility is fascinating - the sheer amount of water lost via leaks from water piping in this century is huge, and so keeping a high pressure system running back then must have been tremendously difficult. Especially given a similar sized leak will have a much larger impact in a higher pressure system.
Because 'security' is fractal in nature and affects every little detail down to the hardware level (where even our lord and saviour Rust cannot help). No matter how secure your code or hardware is, there will always be an exploit waiting to be discovered. When this inevitably happens the security 'extremists' come out of their holes and yell 'I told you so', which is not exactly helping the cause ;) Meanwhile devs need to prioritise time spent on security versus product features and actually getting shit done.

TL;DR: I bet most devs do care about security, but it's just one aspect to prioritize against other goals, and it's a task that can never be fully completed, not pro-actively without specific threats at least. You can never check that "this project is now secure against random attacks" checkbox.
Truck drivers do a lot more than just sit in the cab and drive.

Sure I guess there are operating models where you don't need one driver paired all the time with one truck but definitely can't just replace drivers IMHO
Developers write code to meet requirements. People like product owners, cybersecurity specialists and technical analysts provide those requirements.

DevOps is just a fancy word to signify that modern system administration requires coding proficiency.

Agile is a project management framework useful for IT projects.

I don’t see how those three phenomena are related?

So in your capacity as a tutor, do you think you are qualified to make medical diagnoses of and medical decisions for other people's children? It's generally thought that this is the parents' decision because they have the most information about the child and the biggest "stake" in their child's success.

Has it occurred to you that you might be working with incomplete information? Has it occurred to you that your conclusions might be wrong?
I think I may mean open-source, which is not really a coop.
I guess a small start-up with like minded people is pretty damn identical.
The coop part implies the lack of a profit motive though; just smart people solving problems with non-economic outcomes (merit).
