Well what's behavior and what's addiction? Let's go down a thought exercise. Imagine yourself in the following scenarios:

1. Imagine you're going to Walmart. You see a friend. "You say hi and raise your hand to draw attention" However, they walk right past you without even acknowledging your presence.

What is your first thought? Maybe "Jerk!", "he's busy?".

You don't have control over that first thought, but you do have control over that second thought and your actions thereafter. Addiction messes with your first thoughts and attention. Next scenario

2. A wife and a husband are driving down the road. The wife notices Kohl's is having a 50% off and the husband notices that Andy's liquor store has two six pack for the price of one.

In this case, due to addiction, the husband noticed that Andy's liquor store and that's a craving. His awareness was drawn to that sign with a subconscious cue influenced by addiction.

Therefore, someone who wishes to maintain sobriety has to be very self-aware of their thoughts and actions. They have to guard themselves from triggers, situations, people and then manage those other aspects they can't control.
> If "hard" drugs are legalized, then they will likely be treated the same as alcohol and pot and tobacco: highly regulated, sold only to adults in very limited stores, and folks can enter treatment without fear of arrest.

I can tell you firsthand that minors have no problem acquiring alcohol and tobacco.
A lot of the reason that time seems to pass more quickly as we age is that we have fewer and fewer novel experiences; when each day resembles the one before it, whole months can disappear in lived monotony.

I like to think of memory as using a sort of compression algorithm. Repeated data gets compressed away; novel data takes up space.

So you can slow down your time perception by making your life less compressible. Do things differently; make bigger changes in your life more often; make more milestones; take more trips; change things up; be random.
I do like the way your UI strips out some of the ambiguity in how your initial prompt is interpreted by an LLM and allows for editing and parameterisation and IFTTT outputs. Especially since exactly how LLMs parse complex instructions is hard to test. There's definitely a sweet spot between "type instruction and hope for magical understanding" and "write the program yourself"

(though as it still involves LLMs I'd probably want to use it for stuff that sounds less mission critical than some of your examples!)

This has been my browsing habit for a long while now. Sure if I need to add a macro or google some compiler flags to compile an OS, I'll do it. But fiddling with noscript when I know your site is just images and text (plus trackers/ads) is not worth it.
Depends. Within the standard, you can do 51w at the full 100m on standard cat6, which is 300ma/pair. If your runs are shorter, you should be good to go at the full type4 current, or, 960ma.

That's the thing: everything's ephemeral.
The so-called "War on Drugs" was an objective and abject failure. It merely created the carceral state leading to the US having the highest per-capita incarceration rate of any country in the world. With 4% of the world's population, the US has 25% of the world's prisoners.

It's not that decriminalizing drugs hasn't worked. It's just now you see it. Previously it was hidden in remote prisons where the drugs were often brought in by the staff.

The point here is you need to fix the underlying reasons why people use drugs. Those reasons vary. Many heroin users start off with a valid prescription for opiate painkillers. The US prescribes opiates at a prodigious rate. Doctors are given golf trips to prescribe Oxycontin to enrich the Sacklers, creating the next generation of heroin junkie.

A lot of it is escapism and self-medication too. Untreated mental health issues, homelessness, hopeless conditions, etc.

In short, the drug isssue cannot be separated from material conditions, from having basic needs met. So when people cannot afford food or shelter, we as a society are making a choice to prioritize profits for a very few at the expensive of spreading misery and death to many people. Putting them in prison merely hides those problems from view.
Portugal had more than 1% of its population addicted to drugs in the 80's. Check today's stats and compare it to other countries.
I used to do this but ended up in too many situations on the phone where someone says “what’s your email” and I can’t remember what email I gave them and I look like an idiot who doesn’t know what their email is.

When I was a college student just starting my CS journey, I happened to bump into one of the founders of Perforce at an unrelated event I was attending. After chatting a bit, I asked him what he did, and he replied "These days, not much". "Oh, retired early? What did you do before?" "Well, you know version control software?" "Like Git?" And I'll never forget the the defeated sigh the guy responded with.
My memory is kind of sketchy due to its insane complexity, but that’s also the main story point of the Metal Gear (Solid) games.

Certain individuals gain massive wealth in the chaos of WW2. They use these resources to further enrich themselves and protect their fortune via manipulating political systems. Eventually these characters are basically all dead (…or are they?!) and the AIs they built to manipulate these systems continue to drive political conflicts on their own to the service of nobody.
Why does the fact that hard drug addiction hijacks the reward circuitry of the brain and is bad not a coherent argument? There has to be some red line that is too much. Say a drug causes schizophrenia after using it half the time. Should that be legal? How about every time? What if it kills you in a year after one use?
>The efficiency of high voltage AC power lines is limited by capacitive coupling to ground.

As often in engineering, the sweet spot is where multiple factors have ~equal contributions, so even a 50% win in one of the factors can't give you that much benefit.

For high voltage AC power lines it's Ohmic losses, corona discharge losses, and inductive losses.
Hm, nothing, maybe Xiaomi has it somewhere else. Thanks for your help!
It's amusing, but also intuitive? When we have companies larger than countries, operating globally, it sort of stands to reason they should be safer bets than any one country - just like selling mortgages to thousands vs. a massive one to one person, or anything else in finance.

You don't need them to be entangled to act as a boson.

A Cooper pair is a composite object, and you absolutely need to consider the atomic lattice of the superconductor.

So you end up with your electron being entangled with all the surrounding atoms in the lattice. And all other electrons.
But it is. A significant part of electronics engineering is dedicated to heat dissipation.

So what do we stand to gain?

At least a slight improvement in efficiency of transmission. And a huge improvement due to simpler heat dissipation needs.

So this might mean way faster battery charging - like 500 miles worth of charge in 5 mins. We’re mainly limited by how hot the batteries get during charging.

Unfortunately this comes with a limit. Termux, by extension proot, is using strace to modify syscall to rewrite UID and GID as root and root. Think Usernetes and fakeroot for a moment.

The immediate side effect is some applications like Cargo build will sometimes fail to build artifacts randomly, and you still can't access dmesg and most of the procfs.

You also won't have Mesa 3D acceleration on Termux too. I would also suggest replacing VNC with X11 forwarding since it should be faster and we can technically use UDS.

You will also need to disable the phantom process killer in Android 12 if you want to run something practical. I ran vscode remote because Jetbrains Gateway failed to run on Termux
No, I'm suggesting that even with the worst possible fiscal punishment (even when it causes bankruptcy) it's still not enough, for two reasons:

1. If the damage done is so severe that it's impossible or impractical to reverse, then even in the case of recovering 100% of the profits ever generated, it still won't be enough to fix the damage. A larger long term environmental cost for the many has been traded for a far far smaller short term financial reward for the few.

2. As the sibling commenter pointed out, companies can be used as a financial liability shield, just pay yourself an absurd salary, keep liquid funds and reinvestment low (especially when the game is up), and all that's left is a functioning but otherwise empty husk.

It's important to acknowledge that addiction is a disease as framed in the above scenarios. However, it does require a conscience behavioral change maintaining a certain level of awareness of self to sustain sobriety.

It isn't helpful for people to view themselves as simply a character flaw when going through addiction because their brain is scarred. It doesn't mean they can't make poor choices and not choose to maintain to pursue sobriety. Their behavior matters and their disease matters.
Pre-heating is essential for cast iron. I primarily cook with it for everything these days on an induction cooktop. Induction is pretty fast at heating the pan and has excellent temperature control.

This kinda comes off like you’re trying to ridicule the comment or minimise their concerns, but the fact is that, if you’re going to do a data grab, you absolutely should have a way for people to have you remove that data.

The fact you freely admit there’s no unsubscribe link (so I guess no way to have you remove an email address from whatever list you’re building) is not a good look at all IMO.

Personal data (even if it’s just email addresses right now) are probably a thing you want to respect, and be seen to respect. Personally I’m glad my spidey-senses kicked in and made me hit “cancel” on the oauth before I came here to read the comments.

I'm not sure how paid Gmail handles data, but at least Fastmail is not from a giant ad company that wants to basically DRM the internet with WEI and generally has an incentive to collect as much data as possible and show ads everywhere. Privacy (against corporations) is one of Fastmail's main marketing points, and considering how it's a smaller paid-only service where being discovered lying about its claims could basically destroy its business, I would trust it more than paid Gmail which will continue to exist despite Google's unethical behavior. It's not end-to-end encrypted though, so it's not perfect privacy-wise, and worse than ProtonMail/Tutanota in that regard.

However, after looking some things up, I just saw that Mailbox.org has a feature called "Encrypted Mailbox" that automatically encrypts incoming emails before storing them (which I somehow didn't see when I was using it since I thought it was similar to FastMail but based in a different country), similar to how ProtonMail/Tutanota work, and I'm not seeing anything similar for FastMail. However, Mailbox.org also supports third party clients and features that FastMail has like email forwarding, unlike ProtonMail/Tutanota, so Mailbox.org actually looks like a better option than any of the others (assuming you trust that they're not secretly storing your emails as they arrive somewhere unencrypted, although they might if forced to by the government).

Remote US only, or remote worldwide?
The Prefect guys wrote this https://www.prefect.io/guide/blog/why-not-airflow it's something but far from comprehensive.

There's not a lot of writing about this. Folks seem content to fight Airflow's deficiencies. Most of them are too young to know any better. The critiques you'll find are generally written by competitors, or folks adopting a competitor.

Here's the big one I see lots of folks get wrong: do NOT run your code in Airflow's address space.

Airflow was copied from Facebook Dataswarm and comes with a certain set of operational assumptions suitable for giant companies. These assumptions are, helpfully, not documented anywhere. In short, it is assumed that Airflow runs all the time and is ~never restarted. It is run by a team that is different from the team that uses it. That ops team should be well-staffed and infinitely-resourced.

Your team is probably not like that.

So instead of deploying a big fleet of machines, you are probably going to do a simple-looking thing: make a docker container, put Airflow in it, then add your code. This gives you a single-repo, single-artifact way of deploying your Airflow stuff. But, since that's not how Airflow was designed to work, you have signed yourself up for a number of varieties of Pain.

First, you are now very tightly coupled to Airflow's versioning choices. Whatever version of Python runs Airflow, runs your code. Whatever versions of libraries Airflow uses, you must use. This is bad. At one point I supported a data science job that used a trained model serialized with joblib. That serialization was coupled to Python 3.6 and some precise version of SciKitLearn. We wanted to upgrade Python! We couldn't! Don't use PythonOperator. You need separation between Airflow itself and Your Code. Use a virtualenv, use another container, use K8s if you must, but please please do not run your own code INSIDE Airflow.

Second, you cannot deploy without killing jobs. Airflow's intended "deployment" mechanism is "you ship DAG code into the DAG folder via mumble mumble figure it out for yourself". The docs are silent. It is NOT intended that you ship by balling up this mega-container, terminating the Airflow that's running, and starting up the new image. You can do this, to be sure. But anything running will be killed. This will be fine right up until it isn't. Or maybe not, maybe for you it'll be fine forever, but just please please realize that as far as Airflow's authors are concerned, even though they didn't say so, you are Doing It Wrong.
Okay, I guess now the pieces are falling into place, the same conclusion just occurred to me in a different part of the thread, HTTP is the REST API and not an API build on top of HTTP. I will read some things again with that in mind, but currently my primary thought is how confusingly HATEOAS seems to be explained everywhere. If I see the bank account example where I can inspect account balances and make transfers, I of course assume we are talking about some banking API and it never occurred to me in all the years that we are actually talking about HTTP. After all, when I have to implement or consume an API, it will be the banking API, not HTTP. If I write or consume some SOAP service, there is an existing SOAP implementation on top of which I work but I rarely think of SOAP itself as an API, even though it of course is.

> While I have you here, do you think 4.4 is still years away?

I/we were never very fond of releases to be honest. All it does is to fragment the number of version in the various LTS distribution, which makes support a pain (vs "the official version" and "git-master"). Also, I don't have that much time these days, so getting a release out is impractical. I am aiming for the Ubuntu 24.04 cutoff for packages.

> Is there an ongoing documentation of API changes?

`git log` ;). But also, just compare the official release doc with the development one. There's over 1k changes. The largest one being the documentation itself. Then a rewrite of the notification and wallpaper APIs are also rather large improvements. Everything is backward compatible, so there should not be any nasty surprises.

> Yup that was exactly the problem and how I solved it too. If I remember correctly if workspace1 has client A and B, and workspace2 has client B and C (B is common), global stack means if I switch from 1 to 2 while focus was on A, while in 2 if I ever switch focus to B, then I when I come back to 1 I would find that focus moved from A to B, which can be annoying.

Annoying, but also like >10k lines of code/tests/doc to "fix". It will take a lot of effort to get this PR merged without behavior changes or regressions... That global stack goes back 15 years and everything depends on it's exact behavior. It's as ossified as it gets.

You should make the negative behaviors associated with drug abuse illegal and force those people into rehab.

Minimalist, modern jarring cube buildings have been out of style for a long time now. developers keep building them because they're cheap. It's artless commerce.

Self-awareness and contextuality are arguably the key differences between modern and postmodern works. We've been living in postmodernity for over a half century now, but architecture moves a little more slowly than other things because the creatives are at the mercy of financiers who are much more risk-averse.

Any decent architecture from the past few decades pays attention to the surrounding context, and often incorporates local cultural, historical, and environmental elements.
From "Low-cost additive turns concrete slabs into super-fast energy storage" (2023) https://newatlas.com/architecture/mit-concrete-supercapacito... :

> But the great thing here is that this energy storage device doesn't need to be small; concrete tends to get used in bulk. An average American 2,000-sq-ft (185.8-m2) home built on a reasonably standard five-inch-thick (13-cm) concrete slab uses about 31 cubic yards (~24 m3) of concrete. Add more if you've got a driveway or a concreted garage, and significantly more again if the house is built using concrete walls or columns.

> The MIT team says a 1,589-cu-ft (45 m3) block of nanocarbon black-doped concrete will store around 10 kWh of electricity – enough to cover around a third of the power consumption of the average American home, or to reduce your grid energy bill close to zero in conjunction with a decent-sized solar rooftop array. What's more, it would add little to no cost.

> The team has tested these concrete supercaps at small scale, cutting out pairs of electrodes to create tiny 1-volt supercapacitors about the size of button-cell batteries, and using three of them to light up a 3-volt LED. Now, it's working on blocks the size of car batteries, and targeting a 1,589-cu-ft, 10-kWh version for a larger-scale demonstration.

> Instead, they had a hand in nearly every aspect of the alleged plot, starting with its inception. The extent of their involvement raises questions as to whether there would have even been a conspiracy without them. [...] A longtime government informant from Wisconsin, for example, helped organize a series of meetings around the country where many of the alleged plotters first met one another and the earliest notions of a plan took root, some of those people say. The Wisconsin informant even paid for some hotel rooms and food as an incentive to get people to come.

What do you call this if not overzealous? It's the same old playbook over and over again: the FBI pays people to go out and recruit terrorists, invents terror plots for them, offers to supply them with weapons and explosives, dares and nags them to commit felonies, then swoops in and arrests them when they make motions in that direction.

There are plenty of other examples, if you want to go on. What I don't understand is why anyone defends an institution that has been grossly corrupt continuously from its inception.
