Although ISO date strings can be fairly trivial to read and manipulate with RexExp or a custom parser, depending on the complexity of the task, I would recommend using something like iso-fns.

https://iso-fns.org

It's too bad this library (and approach) never took off, but it's there to use nevertheless.

Even without iso-fns, it's not as if mid level developer can't figure out how to write a function to perform a specific operation on an ISO date string.

After over 10 years of web development, I do think this is the best known approach and is even better than storing UNIX time. Even if there were no existing libraries to help with manipulating ISO strings, I will gladly take the inconvenience in exchange for the rest of the advantages.

With ISO strings, you don't get any behavioral quirks from Date; they are totally compatible with JSON; you can store the time zone along with the time; there is nothing to stop you from changing the time zone while leaving all the other values intact; ISO strings also support durations.

Basically, they support most of what a software developer will be expected to do with times and dates but without any behavior or assumptions about the client time zone that introduce bugs like with Date. `<input type="datetime-local">` also uses ISO strings out of the box, which can be really convenient, and values from `<input type="date">` can be easily appended into an actual ISO string.
Seems like it is fixed in a weird way.

I'm not sure why you keep insisting on equating Iran and Iraq? They are different countries, demographics, cultures, political systems, etc...with very different circumstances. The Iraqi National Congress was setup and funded by the CIA (after the invasion of Iraq by US military), with a banking elite as it's figurehead.

The coalition being built in and outside of Iran is an organic, cross-class, cross-cultural network that is the result of years of activism. Within it, you will find figures like Masih Alinejad, a world-renowned journalist and women's rights activist, and Hamed Esmaeillion, a representative for the families of PS752 (the plane that was shot down by the Islamic Regime with 170+ souls on board). To equate this to a CIA-backed coup is not well-founded.
The other side of this is: what constitutes an explanation? What formal structure that you express observations in seems like knowing what's going on to you? Formal structures in fields tend to be matched to what the experimental abilities of the field are.

In programming, we designed our systems to give us what seem like hard bottoms in our formal models. Most programmers don't reason below the level of their structured programming language. Of the ones that do, most treat the processor instructions as a hard bottom. There are layers down and down until you have physicists working on semiconductor properties, but we have intentionally designed the layers so that you can comfortably rest on them.

In biology any formal structure you think in is logically poised over the abyss. What pins it in place is not that it is on philosophical bedrock, but the observations and experiments that the formal structure summarizes.
Functional vs imperative

Also, maintaining vacuum is probably easier in larger units since the volume is increasing faster than the surface area. More gas intrudes, but there is much more space for it to intrude.

The wildcard is what has to change for the thickness of the shell as it scales. That either makes it work, or be infeasible. More research required.
The benefits described sound contradictory to me. If you're removing enough heat to reduce the likelihood of Yellowstone erupting, you're removing enough to reduce the power output of the plant. Perhaps there's way to balance those two outcomes, but I know that other geothermal plants have sucked their heat reservoirs dry over decades of use. I suppose you could do a better job of matching the rate of heat extraction of the rate of natural regeneration, but I imagine that would enormously reduce the potential output of the plant, and that's not an issue this paper addresses.

It's also worth considering that this one person's experience may represent the reactions of many. Over two-decades ago the Chicago Reader published one of the most fascinating "drug memoirs" I've ever read, and the author also had a terrible reaction to Ketamine, albeit under very bad circumstances:

Ketamine treatment seems to induce mania in some people. A friend sent me a picture he took of a notice posted on the wall of a ketamine clinic. It read as a rambling screed about the virtues of ketamine. I really wish I could find that picture. After receiving treatment, my friend became manic, and then he crashed and killed himself.

There seems to be some literature that discusses mania from ketamine: https://www.psychiatrist.com/pcc/bipolar/ketamine-induced-ma...

There are autosomal dominate conditions that have a comorbidity of ADHD. hEDS for example. The genetic cause for hEDS hasn’t been discovered but there are candidate genes. Clearly given the higher likelihood of having ADHD with hEDS the hEDS genes should show up in ADHD genetic surveys. But diagnosis for ADHD and hEDS are very noisy so it’s still hard to find.
If you check possible side-effects of very common medicine you can probably find some terrifying stuff that happens to 1 out of 10 million people. If it gets reported on in the media, it would seem a lot more common than it is. To be clear I'm not saying that's the case here, I have no idea.

Does the rave music become any good once you pop MDMA?

I don't like EDM and unless the MDMA also changes musical tastes then I'd rather be listening to classical, acid rock or ProgRock. Or watch a movie or better yet be having sex if the stim dick I keep hearing about doesn't present itself.

Not really.

One side says "there is no way to accurately tell exactly how many died in the Holocaust, but it's estimated the number can go as high as 6 million".

The other side says "the 6 million number is a lie they made up to push the idea the Holocaust happened".

Let's not pretend that attacking estimates by misrepresenting them like this is an argument made in good faith.

You both forgot the Apple II, which did all that stuff much earlier. Any history that writes out Woz is missing the point. Fundamentally the Atari 800 was an attempt to make a better Apple and target it at the home market. The C64 was a better Atari and won the fight. But the paradigm for how both those systems work was settled in the summer of 1978 when the Disk II shipped. That was four and a half years before the Commodore reached market. (Four and a half years after the C64 release we could buy 32 bit PCs and Macs. It's a long, long time in this context.)
Nice stuff.

There's a disconnect between the title and the article.

The article ends with this conclusion: "My impression is that Bootstrap is declining." The article is the author's work with both, which is fine, but the title implies an industry trend, which isn't really supported by the article.

The article could have done this by pointing to statistical trends. However, I don't think the conclusion would then be supported. Just looking at NPM, they both are at their high points, suggesting it's not even a matter of competing. (I think Bootstrap has a larger amount of non-npm downloads, so that's not a perfect metric admittedly)

> every one of those features was cloned as free software and running on sub-$100k hardware by 1994

?

Zones weren’t released until nearly 10 years after 1994. Same for dtrace and zfs. Solaris was embryonic in 1994. Linux existed but wouldn’t take over servers until c2000-1 (as evidenced by Sun’s massive profits through the end of 1999).

What features are you referring to?
Heh.

I was Head of IT for a company that manufactured the physical media for all SUN OS products. (meaning if you bought any SUN software, and it came on a CD and in a box- we manufactured all of that, and shipped it as if we were SUN)

We would receive updates to the releases via FTP.

We had several FTP servers which SUN would PUT their files on and we had a nightly batch job grab the files and transfer to the machines that burned the CDs...

I implemented Linux on those machines with the help of hiriing a few Linux consultants I knew...

Dave Sifry, Chris DiBona and a few others.

I called Dave in and told him "If I were you, I'd start a Linux support company/consulting company"

A few weeks later he came to me and stated that they had founded a company "LINUXCARE"

At one point he was worth $100 million off that...

Chris was/is huge at google...

but yeah, another annecdote was that this is also when XML became a thing, and we were one of the first companies to adopt XML out of SUN because they wanted to PUT XML docs on our FTP server for their releases... and LINUXCARE was tasked with creating our CRON job scripts for watching the directories for updates and batch jobs....
One of the major problems with "standard" psychotropic medications is that there's no standard information out there about what to expect while taking it. And by that I mean, meds such as antidepressants, mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, tranquilizers are intended to place the user into an altered mental state, but nobody will tell us what that AMS will be like, experientally.

They can easily tell us about side effects, especially physiological ones, and we can watch out for those side effects, but what about the primary effects? What about how we are supposed to feel, the advantages, why am I taking these meds in the first place? My doctors, for the past 30 years, have been wholly incapable of communicating these simple facts to me.

So it's interesting to me, when psychiatry branches into formerly-recreational drugs such as ketamine, LSD, peyote, etc, that there is already a large and substantial body of information about what that altered state of consciousness should be like. Artists have written songs, they've painted pictures, they've composed poetry, they've written novels about it.

So I think that's the only real advantage to psychedelics and such, in that there is actually more documentation on their primary effects, and so I wish all the best to clinicians as they grapple with trying to recreate Haight-Ashbury and Golden Gate Park in a sterile, dreary, clinical setting.
Oh yes, but this particular mutation has been discovered at least 100,000 years ago and has been shown in anthropology throughout most societies. It is relatively new in this post-industrial hellscape that we pathologize and punish it.
I had a single terrible experience with dissociatives, to the point that for many many years I had ongoing panic attacks. It was an absolute nightmare for a long time as I was never sure when one might strike.

Without data it’s hard to say how dangerous these drugs are, but they are dangerous. People will pipe in with how you need the right setting and mindset and on and on, it’s never the drug it’s always the patient. But even if that’s all true, none of that is objectively verifiable, people will still have terrible, life-changing experiences, and we should better understand the rate at which they will before prescribing it broadly.
it's so odd how this is a strategy

I'm primarily talking about medical science (including clinical psychology) here, not "psychology" in general. You can certainly make the argument that medical science isn't as "hard" as physics, but clearly medicine generally works.

You can also make the argument that gender-affirming care doesn't have RCTs behind it, but there's no way to have an RCT that (a) isn't immediately unblinded because the physical effects of HRT are obvious within days, and/or (b) isn't a gross human rights violation. So we rely on supposedly (but not actually) "low-quality" observational studies instead.

For example: https://medicine.yale.edu/lgbtqi/research/gender-affirming-c...
Unfortunate the author 1) wasn't made aware of just how mind altering of an experience it can be and 2) seems to have been misled that this treatment can simply "cure depression" on its own

It's my experience that psychedelics can help open your mind to different perspectives and spot unaddressed issues (I believe they're issues you just aren't "allowing" yourself to see/address), but to just take it in a clinical setting and expect it to work some magic on you.. Idk.

K can be incredibly dissociative in recreational doses & this person was given ~10-20x a recreational dose - with very little warning of the gravity of the effects. I can totally imagine why it was such a terrifying experience!

I agree with another commenter about the importance of mindset and setting. For most people, even getting to the point in their lives where they can & are willing to take psychedelics (non-clinical settings) is a long journey that shouldn't be discounted. Not saying we shouldn't pursue it in more clinical ways, just that the journey & mindset BEFORE taking the drugs is just as, if not MORE, important than the drugs themselves

We do fluoridate drinking water, but it does not (fully) prevent cavities.
Two details:

Only recently has FISA been expanded to allow an amici role for government-licensed attorneys to argue against certain requests.

We’ve kind of had three phases of FISA:

Church commission FISA rejected 4 out of 25,000 requests. And those were approved after re-submission. Numbers like that cannot refute rubber stamp allegations.

Then, after 2001, submissions started getting wild. The rejection rate and public statements seemed to show some friction between branches.

Then, cooly around 2013, FISA seemed to allow requests on American citizens. By 2017, Wrey was arguing that FBI depended on this. And only lately do we have the amici roles.
Curious - what is frustrating about it? I found the process very easy and with no weird bugs, but I only made a thin layer over a supplied C SDK, so maybe my use of cgo is not representative?
I went through ketamine therapy and it was the greatest thing I've ever done for myself. In about two days, 20 years of depression lifted. It's not a pleasant experience, and to be clear I used the nasal spray because it's covered by insurance (at no cost!) but it was life changing. I went through 8 weeks of it last year and the positive benefits have continued with no negatives.

One caveat: The clinic I went to required that patients be on medication for depression at the time of the treatment. I've often wondered if someone was not on medication would it be different. I did not see any hallucinations, just felt body-drunk.

It's been 8 months and I can still honestly say it is the best thing I ever did for myself.
I don't believe that. If the lines that get built they will 100% not run diesel trains on it and it will run as often as planned. At least after a few years. And if a project is done for the next 100+ years, then a few years lower utilization isn't a big deal.

Seems to me all the claims made about how it will fall short and be barley better then a old Victorian line is scare mongering to devalue the project and discredit the benefits it gives.

What is really sad is that the Greens are against it, what utter idiots. Hopefully you can elect some government that actually gets behind the project fully again.

> and then they’ll declare it unprofitable and beeching it, most likely

I don't believe that. NetworkRail was unprofitable, made public still exists. Franchise, unprofitable, made public again still exist. So the idea of these lines simply going away isn't really credible.
What do you think the correction in a supply constrained market is supposed to look like?
> I wish all the best to clinicians as they grapple with trying to recreate Haight-Ashbury in a sterile, dreary, clinical setting.

I couldn't imagine using psychedelics without being able to go outside (at night, day tripping isn't for me).

From the article:

> In the days that followed I still didn’t feel like myself. Detached.

I feel like this when I do mushrooms. I've also been in trips that scared the shit out of me (the most terrifying times of my life in fact), but they've all been beneficial in the long run. I wonder if this man's life will change more than he expects it to. I've never done ketamine so I have no idea what it's like.
Professionally, I do backend these days but for my personal sites, I like bootstrap. I haven't tried tailwind but I've checked it out a few times, it doesn't seem to catch my interest. It's also hocked like a new religion, similar to how JetBrains hocks their products which also discourages me from wanting to consider it.

Some assert functions take an optional string that's printed to stderr or stdout when the condition fails. I've found that a more useful place to put the text that would go into a comment, because you can see the presumed "why" of the failure without looking at the source.

This information could go into the test function name, but you can be much more verbose in the freeform text. And it's guaranteed to move along with the assertion during a refactor, unlike comments that can get separated from the code.
I’m torn on issues like this. I respect and support companies that intend to make their software free and open for personal and academic use, but charge for commercial use. But the licensing challenges surrounding support of this intent is tricky, and is often attacked by FOSS purists. I don’t think a good license exists for companies like Neo4j, MongoDB, Elastic, etc…and we need one.

I’m not certain whether it’s an issue of training or an issue of lack of accountability. It certainly seems like a time of reckoning must come for all levels of law enforcement, where we get back to upholding the law rather than being above it.
