Hi.

You don't know me and that is fine. In early January 2020 I predicted the entire pandemic, including the mask lie(before they lied), the supply run (My entire family picked off full shelves), the effort from people, the vaccine issues, and the aftermath.

If I followed what you suggested, I would be without my mother. So maybe, just maybe, you are wrong.
Don't worry, Apple TV will soon get ads and the experience will be much the same as the "Smart" TVs.

I'm pretty sure the smart features were put into TVs so they could become the one entertainment device just like those external set top boxes in the early 2000's. All consumer media hardware is headed in this direction of having advertisements, even in paid/subscription services. I base this on the fact that Foxtel (effectively the one and only paid TV service in Australia) has more ads per hour than free to air TV as people that pay a subscription are considered to have a higher income than ones that don't.
They believe as a parents, they have all of the specific knowledge required to give their child the best possible life. While ignoring pediatricians and teachers. I wasn't referring to myself in any way.
When did you switch from hating masks to loving masks? What caused your switch? Why caused you to hate them before you loved them? Was it a conspiracy?
I challenge you to find a meth user that tells you meth is profound, opening experience that brings you closer to people and helps you know yourself.

(edit - rate limited so can't respond below. 'Meth' is a strong stimulant, with some associated euphoria, it's not a profound emotional experience like mdma. Yes I'm speaking from experience. Phenethylamine-derived drugs are massively varied in their effects, see also for example the true-psychedelic mescaline, 2C-x and, well, the whole of Pihkal)
That's nice to hear. Safari is my main (only, really) desktop browser.

But let's consider this:

"A leaked proposed EU act may force Apple to allow alternate browser rendering engines on iOS... Some experts believe that this would increase competition in the market"

Whoever believes that is not an expert, and hasn't thought it through. Apple's insistence on WebKit is the only thing keeping Chrome from taking over the Web entirely. Once I realized that, I stopped whining about Apple forcing Webkit on everyone in iOS.

Jabber.org, the original XMPP IM service will migrate this weekend to Prosody IM
After several years, Jabber.org, the original XMPP instant messaging service will migrate to Prosody IM this weekend (January 14-15), it is an important moment, the original XMPP service will be connected to all XMPP secure servers.

"content on christmas eve with family is more true self than suicidal anxiety of existantial dredd"

Both are true feelings, but my point was, that I don't think a general baseline anxiety is something that is part of ones personality. I feel limited in myself, when fear is dominating and free, if the fear is gone and I am no longer blocked to do the things I want.
But the question is whether parents should be the ultimate authority on the child, and the law in many countries does not support that. The lines get drawn at different points in different countries, but many have laws against child endangerment etc.

For example, in Europe it’s mandatory to send your child to school - whether the parents want it or not. Some parts of the curriculum are mandatory, whether the parents agree or not.

It is the role of the tutor and teacher to ensure that children receive an education in line with this. Parents can complain, but they have no authority there.
Thank! That is at least some progress after so long. :P
The topic at hand here is not hallucinogenic drugs. MDMA is not hallucinogenic.

The topic at hand is centered around drugs that generate pleasure. You're a little left field with hallucinogenic drugs. I'm sure there's some sort of "profoundness" there as well but it's a different topic.
When you develop in a rush, SCRUM style, perhaps in the stereotypical silicon valley mode, you can only spit out code, your goal is just to be quick and achieve some apparent level of usability.

If you can calmly think about something to automate, made good scenario, do some mental experiments etc than you can craft good code, witch happen to be also secure in general. But such model is long lost.
Thanks for the heads up - tried it yesterday and it indeed looks much better now! :-)
More likely the reward is people complaining about how inconvenient the new security process is for the next 20 years. "Oh I have to rotate keys now..." "I liked it better when it told me my password was wrong outright" "entering an MFA token from my phone is annoying" etc.
I did hit some kind of networking bug on a Linux server recently (in the past 2 weeks) which required a restart of the Docker daemon, and that is my classic personal experience. We went all-in on Docker Swarm several years ago, and we ended up having to do full server reboots on what seemed like a weekly basis. And I know I'm not alone in having loads of problems on MacOS - although I must admit it seems to have been a lot better recently.
Ask a serial killer how killing is and he'll probably say it's a positive experience.

It's not because someone that experienced something is saying it's a positive thing that it is necessarily true.

“Although the totality of the data currently suggests that it is very unlikely that the signal … represents a true clinical risk, we believe it is important to share this information with the public, as we have in the past, when one of our safety monitoring systems detects a signal,” the statement said.

I wish they don’t publish these statements to a statistically illiterate press.

Amazing, thank you. This comment, and the replies to it, perfectly summarize what I am looking for in a complete LISP environment. True integration will treat not only text blocks/streams, but multimedia of any kind, seamlessly and as first-class citizens. The old LISP engineers understood that, but as another person said, the limitations of that time put significant barriers to that goal.

We no longer have such limitations; it is time to revisit that model.
conc seem similar to ant lib (https://github.com/panjf2000/ants). Is there any considerable difference between them?
I never suggested that. By floodgates, I mean widespread commercial application. If entirely new economic sectors are created, it’s incredibly hard, socially, to retroactively apply boundaries, should they be desirable. Initial conditions are incredibly impactful.
They most likely do (just look at the gcc bugzilla).

I find them because of a combination of :
- a very large codebase
- compiling with optimizations (O3) and targeting recent archs
- yearly compiler upgrades
- an extremely extensive testsuite

I have found all kinds of bugs (frontend, middle, backend) - the codegen ones tend to be very nasty to diagnose.
It's free marketing also since your product name will now show up in warez sites.

I couldn't get access to the paper, but the abstract and the article both claimed they were able to reverse organ damage caused by the aging. Is that not backed up in the paper?
I have very mixed feelings about this policy. I don't want my government taking my money in taxes, then deploying it as welfare conditional on unrelated policies. Particularly because once the have this leverage they'll make more widespread use of it.

Some (all, in fact) of the anti-vaxxers I know are extremely upstanding small businesspeople. I can imagine in the next pandemic that (1) the government will tax them heavily pre-pandemic (2) government shuts their business down by force and (3) refuses to support them unless they comply with a vaccination policy that they don't agree with.

That seems a logical but perverse destination for this sort of policy that is both unfair and at odds with basic concepts of property, freedom and charity.
Faith has no impact on my decision to prefer not to be the guinea pig for experimental gene therapy, that results in micro clotting and turning your body into a spike protein factory.

I have no issue with traditional vaccination, but this is nothing like a vaccination. They wouldn't have needed to change the definition of vaccination if it was.

They wouldn't need to push this 24/7 on every possible platform if it worked as promised.
They wouldn't have to tell us that these super rare side effects that every one of my colleagues is experiencing is super rare and nothing to be concerned about.

If you find your opinions align with the mindless masses, perhaps you are among them.
We have devolved responsibility for secure code to the product owners.

Ultimately, meeting their compliance objectives and addressing the threats is their business.

We (infosec) can, and will help, but the outcome is their responsibility. We provide threat models, guidelines, patterns, and consultancy to the tribes if they need it (as well as SecOps, etc).

Ensuring the incentive model makes security part of the problem they need to solve we manage to avoid the constant fights - infosec is a "pull" service at the design stage rather than an endless, fruitless "push".
The question should be: why aren’t project managers and product owners making security implementation and review part of the sprints as a priority item?
Why would you, as a tutor, suggest medical interventions for your students?
Conversations you have in ecstasy often are very profound, you may open up in ways you would not normally. You feel understood, and you feel heightened empathy towards others.

You seem very judgemental.

Edit: I am rate-limited and cannot respond below, so I'll add here. Your idea that this is all necessarily a false experience is, to put it bluntly, incorrect. You seem to think that people aren't really listening to each other and aren't really understanding each other, but in many cases they really are.

I called you judgemental because you said you wouldn't want to be associated with that 'type of people', not because of your choice not to use a substance.
That's not quite how drugs work. I've done many of them. They each have an effect that is distinct and separate from their risk profile and addiction properties.

Cocaine feels very different to MDMA and heroin is different still.

MDMAs effect is one of filling your brain and body with love, bliss, sexuality and euphoria. Every sense you have is now coloured with absolute pleasure.

That's a very specific feeling. Comparing the effects of drugs in a way that judges their relative value is usually not helpful.

For example MDMA isn't hallucination inducing like LSD.

Other drugs transport your consciousness to completely alien experiences of space and time.

MDMA isn't like that. You're still you and your experiences, experienced through a new lense of pleasure.

There is always overlap, the palette of chemicals to alter in your brain is limited and these drugs alter often the same ones in different ways.

It isn't the drug that is important, but the experience. That's subjective and as tricky as judging the beauty of art.

Cocaine for example is fun. It feels good. You're energised, uninhibited, and combined with alcohol products enhanced euphoria. But if cocaine is Jackson Pollock then MDMA is Georgia O'Keeffe.
In this case it's not disagreement with one expert, or even a few. The vaccination schedule is based on a consensus of experts. Not only across organizations, like the CDC, AAP, FDA, but across nations too, more or less.

It's truly bizarre to _radically_ disagree, especially as a layperson.

To this day I admire Linux for having the grit and perseverance of maintaining ext2, ext3 and ext4 as separate code bases for so long. Equivalent FreeBSD UFS, UFS with soft updates and UFS with journaling is one code base with each generation as a backward compatible feature. Given FreeBSD's negligible market share perhaps worse is indeed better.
Really, to me, this project is all about writing a few applications for myself. This may get lost throughout the pages of writing, but really, I am doing this for myself: flexible note-taking, a comfortable REPL, and, _at last_, a Lisp IDE (especially, with comfortable print-statement debugging). Structual editing is just the means to get these specific things right.

Of the link provided (on a skim, so I may be wrong), they seem to be all doing structural editors for specific languages, and that's where their ambitions end. That's their focus: some language. My focus is: applications. Within a power-user environment, which can't be done without a GUI toolkit, which can't be done without image-based programming.

Surely, there are some efforts which I like. Glamourous Toolkit. Not particularly about structural editing, but whatever Smalltalk stuff you take, it just tends to be interesting. Ultimately, they fail to deliver in some way, for me at least. (I comment on GT in the "All Else is Not Enough" appendix article.)

I mean, yeah, look: practical applications. First of all: usable to myself. Then: flexible enough to fit anybody else.

PS The topic article is a rant, I admit. And I rant here and then a bit in the main article, sure. But, please, don't be too quick to classify everything there as a rant, even if it stylistically looks so.

PPS I have to take at pijul again, maybe I missed something, thank you.
Same here. They flat out told us on day 1 if you aren’t going to get the full schedule of vaccines find another doctor. To clarify, they don’t care if you get the flu or Covid shots.
Love the Faerie Court analogy.
Last year's Advent of Code I dived into Forth a bit (used GForth). Solved 5 puzzles in it, but then I got stuck, when I was reading in the input of a puzzle and the lines in the file were of varying length. I did not find a way to properly clear the previous line buffer and got wrong results because it still contained characters from an earlier longer line. I asked around for a solution but did not get anything helpful that always works. I think more time would be needed to truly get good at it. Learning some patterns that are typically used in the language to do things like reading a file line by line and processing it. Some string related stuff is supposed to become better in GForth soon, when 1.0 is released. Good to know!

That said, I did enjoy it sort of, until I got stuck. Sometimes definitions can be very succinct and it made me think about implicit arguments vs explicit arguments to functions. In Forth all is implicitly on the stack. It has to be there already, when you utter a word, otherwise you are making a mistake. That is of course harder to program correctly, but makes code very short. Also gets you naturally into the territory of higher order functions and point-free style.

What I think could be an issue with existing programs is, that one needs to build and memorize a mental model of all the implicit arguments words take. It adds one more lookup to the definition of a word. But perhaps this is a tradeoff for very readable code (if written very well, very well factored).

I also thought about "How could this ever do multicore?" and "How can any data structure be better than linear time, if everything is on a stack?". GForth seems to have stuff for making threads, but I have not gone that far on my journey.

Just try it. It is an interesting experience.
No, it’s documented API. It’s either because it doesn’t actually work as documented, or because the other applications’ developers are lazy.

If you were "training" 2 weeks after the fever went away, congratulations - you didn't have long covid.

You cannot exercise your way out of Long Covid, or other postviral fatigue syndromes - it presents identically to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Any attempt to exercise - even something as small as a short walk, or in severe cases merely taking a shower - results in a hard crash that feels completely unlike exercise fatigue, and can effectively confine you to bed for days. And every time you provoke a crash, you set back your recovery, potentially permanently. And you can't really tell by feel what your limits are, you just have to work it out analytically and be conservative. And the whole time, your brain feels like mush.

It's really no joke.

"Give me a threat model, by which I mean realistic groups with goals and capabilities, and we can mitigate the risks."

Thread models are important, but having a concrete adversary in mind is likely misguided. To whom you are an interesting target is hard to know and can change in a heart beat with economic or political events. You don't want to start looking for possible SQL injection vectors once you know someone is targeting you.

I agree though that three threat model should include damage potential and how sophisticated an attacker would have to be.

"No Pay, No Taxes"

When the government fails to provide services at all, taxation reaches an unacceptable level of violent theft.
Why? There's no requirement that you get a credential from a particular group in society before being allowed to distrust them. If such a rule really existed it'd be a field day for scammers. For example nobody would be allowed to doubt any claim related to Web3 if they hadn't already spent years writing smart contracts. Or they wouldn't be allowed to decide Tesla FSD isn't safe enough, because they aren't themselves self driving car researchers.

It's really smart to distrust vaccine providers and public health authorities. Having blind faith in them is bad. You don't need a credential to see that, you just have to observe that they constantly make strong claims in favor of vaccines that they later walk back when it's too late, without any consequences whatsoever.
I agree with the reliability issue, but I can't stop myself from mentioning that I had an autossh connection set up on systemd that worked for an impossible five years until our support contract expired.
It's also similar to MessagEase, which is what I use.
I don't think it's fair to say people aren't interested in it.

The real problem is that software development is an immature profession.
It's a Wild West, anybody can identify as a developer. There are no educational or professional hurdles to overcome before you get provide your services.

No developer has gone to jail, or had their licence revoked for well-intentioned, but bad code.
Incompetence is largely consequence-free, so the incentive for thoroughness is only present in the mind of the individual developer.

That said, security is difficult, time consuming and expensive.
> a japanese man taking multiple Es a day even died of immunodeficiency

I’m surprised he lived long enough to die of that.

MDMA is associated with bruxism but generally not prolonged past the day you take it/day after. Most users wouldn’t take it weekly (I knew some who would) or even monthly, let alone multiple doses a day.

YouTube videos are a poor source of information, I’m afraid.
TLDR - Emacs sucks.
As a seasoned user of MDMA you're right. It is a potent chemical. Used without a lot of moderation, it'll mess you up.

Once every 6 months max.

It can cause brain damage. Serotonin syndrome, depression and a whole host of things.

Yes, you'll grind your teeth while on it. (Not a year afterwards)

A hammer can also hurt you if you smash it into your face. A car will kill you if you drive dangerously.

It's a chemical. It can be used with a safety profile that makes the positive benefits worth it (like any drug or activity)

Responsible use of anything is important.

The thing is with MDMA is doing it daily won't produce the same effect each day. You run out of the brain chemistry it causes you to release all at once. There's an upper limit to frequency in exchange for pleasure and it is quite low.
