That’s completely wrong too. Most people are habitual users of some drugs. I guess they mean people with serious underlying mental health issues who are self medicating with hard drugs and unable to keep a job
My memory is hazy since it's been a while, but I implemented collaborative editing in TipTap using YJS. This requires coordinating editor state with a socket interface and I had to use a bunch of useEffect trickery to make sure the state didn't get out of sync. I'm afraid I can't elaborate further, but I will say that I'd highly recommend TipTap if you want to build collaborative editing. Once I got it working, it worked perfectly.
Decriminalization isn't a panacea (no pun intended.) If there's no integrated treatment, social services, and medical system to support this, then it's doomed to fail.

OTOH, militarized and racist Nixonian prohibition also doesn't serve a public good. One easy change: the US schedule of substances should go away because it levies unfair and unequal punishment on users. Psychoactive substances don't need the regulations, controls, or expense of monitoring highly enriched uranium: it's spending money and effort on the wrong parts of the public health situation. There is already a template for dealing with other substances, i.e., alcohol and tobacco. Focusing on healthcare and mental healthcare for all, with substance treatment being part of it, would lead to better outcomes and probably reduce the costs of policing.
Expecting legalization to fix drug-related social issues was never realistic. What it does fix is mass incarceration of people who are ill.

So you need to compare the effects of legalization with the effects of criminalization. First order effects might seem bad: more drug users in public, more crime. But you also don’t see the drug users who weren’t imprisoned and were able to get help and turn their lives around.

What Oregon tells me is that deinstitutionalization doesn’t work. You can’t just kick drug users to the streets and expect that to fix the problem. Sick people need help.

Every one of them does. Except triggering schizophrenia maybe, which is barely comforting.

But you're replying to a comment about pot, thereby shifting some goalposts.
I have been told, though I have never personally applied for a clearance, by some people with clearances, that they cared a lot more in at least some agencies about you lying about having done it than they did about you doing it.

Spent the last few years teaching visual artists how to market and sell their art. I was able to get the sales and marketing engines of the business humming smoothly but making service delivery repeatable has me stumped. In 2021 and 2022 I did $1.1M in sales from a little over $500k in ad spend. All bootstrapped.

I'm looking to join a team that I gel well with and who have a mission I care about. The best fit roles for me would be in marketing or sales.

I've done 1,000's of sales calls with ACVs between $2k and $10k. I've built direct response VSL and webinar funnels, (copywriting, web dev, video production) that have generated 7 figures of revenue. I've built marketing sites with gatsbyjs and tailwind. I've built fullstack software applications with React and Rails.

Today though, I don't want to spend most of my time behind a screen. Today, I'm interested in podcasting, event based marketing, and relationship based sales. I would like to ultimately land somewhere with a face to face company culture that is either hybrid or in person.
Visibly worse versions of themselves, according to whose standards? Apparently the standards of someone who doesn’t use cannabis on any level, so thereby doesn’t really have the authority to determine whether his friends who are high are better off or worse off. I just can’t see anything other than someone making value judgements of their “friends”.

This seems like an obvious solve. Produce cameras with HSM (hardware security modules) that cryptographically sign the image using the existing certificate infrastructure. Get browser vendors to visually indicate signed images. Now you have a "class" of images that are known to be produced by taking a photo with a verified device.

Brave is not just a wrapper on top of Chromium. It is actually using a forked version of Chromium. So, it might not be that big of a concern.
If it is a horrific crime to produce the pollution in the first place, the US government could not buy that product on the open market. I don't care who WANTS to buy bad shit, it is on you as a company to not make that bad shit.

For some reason, even though plenty of people are ready and willing to buy and sell murder, we still don't allow it.

Both can be bad and disallowed.
I support decriminalizing/legalizing hard drugs. But you need to have the force to quickly and harshly deal with crime that it causes.

I keep hearing of people on the west coast committing small crimes constantly and being let out. We can't blame it all on the drugs, people still need to be required to act responsible. Right now we're letting people become junkies on the street and not even doing anything when they rob all the stores.

Make robbing the fucking store illegal, not doing drugs.
For one the reference implementation of USD is open source, unlike FBX where you have to depend on Autodesks binary blobs and are at the mercy of whatever jankiness comes with them. Such as the fact that the FBX SDK still isn't thread safe in TYOOL 2023 so you have to take a global lock whenever you touch it.

Even Autodesk is backing USD so presumably even they have given up on the long term prospects of FBX.

Yeah this gets tricky for Google and Mozilla. Goog need FF (and pay for it) to be around and not be meaningless in terms of market share because anything else and it's hard for big G to keep pretending they don't have a crushingly obvious monopoly. Mozilla need Goog because you know, hundreds of millions of reasons. FF bowing to WEI would be the ultimate capitulation. But as you say, if WEI flies, Moz capitulates or dies.

It's tough for Goog. They're playing the end-game card here. It's tough, because it's the game winner. On the one hand, total and complete domination of the web. On the other.. Kahn's FTC and the pesky EU technocrats shaking those tired old antitrust lawsuits..

I love FF. But if WEI or whatever future version of WEI gets up, FF will join the party or consign itself to eventual irrelevance. "I use FF for the web, except banking, most major corp sites, paid content, and an increasing bunch of other stuff - but those four bloggers who still post plain HTML pages, FF all the way, go indie web!"

It is very possible to use hard drugs and not be addicted . I used to use cocaine socially before kids but I think back and really no positives. Going to bars and in and out of bathrooms in groups. Was really just asking to get arrested for possession. Problem with drugs like that is you think you are invincible but really at least in my case I was just being stupid and lucky.
Is it really ‘most people’ that end up that way though?

Or are those people simply the most visible?

I mean, how can you tell if someone is a functional user - you can’t, they look just everybody else, you know?

It’s not about the substances themselves, it’s the way that they’re used - and abused. It’s helplessness in the face of addiction that’s the problem - addiction will drive the afflicted to trade the rest of their life to get a fix.

Thank you for the writeup. I've delayed setting it up, but this is what I needed to get it running.

I used Pine, Vim and the par formatter (like a smarter version of fmt) on a Windows 2000 box years ago. That combination was just enough to make Windows bearable.
Unfortunately, while you can indeed build hoverboards with superconductors and they do work, you still need a magnetic surface for it to ride over. I don't believe generalized hoverboards that will work on all surfaces like BttF are possible.
Mandating treatment gets people into treatment, it does not mean they are treated.

Detox centers (AKA treatment) are myopic, they get you detoxed but kick you back out to your shitty life that made you do drugs in the first place. Follow up is needed to make sure people can re-establish connections with their community and not feel alone and trapped.

> the government needs some teeth so they can treat even those that are in denial.

You cannot 'treat' those people. Nobody can un-addict the drug addict except the drug-addict themselves. Others can support, but the hard work has to come from the person them-self.

What's more, current day we have many prison sentences that are effectively "go to treatment, do 30 days of parole - or go to jail." The effectiveness of this kind of treatment AFAIK is tantamount to a joke. So, the mandated treatment is kinda already what is happening and it's ineffective.
It's not technological progress if it kills or sickens large numbers of people and we should recognize and roll back mistakes and misadventures as fast as introduce them.

The world will go on. We will find alternatives that don’t cause pain and suffering.
> They know the DA is not interested in prosecuting.

I think this was the biggest issue.

Cops have done (and will do) some abusive stuff, but IME the west coast was more driven by DAs refusing the prosecute.
Hello HN, I am graduating in a few months, last summer I was an SWE intern at Google before that I did a Google Summer of Code with the LLVM foundation working on the inter-procedural optimizations. I enjoy taking on deeply technical challenges. Although I have more professional experience towards low level programming. I enjoy experimenting with Deep Learning in my spare time. I am also very interested to learn more about finance when I have time.

I've bought so many high end packs, only to have the zippers fail and have had to re-sew them or hemm the seams back together. I had one mid range pack with YKK zippers about 15 years ago and its been nails on every trip I've been on. After that experience, I just look for YKK zippers now on anything I buy.
The article simply assumes that the creator only supports the original POE when they say "POE". There's a good chance they used a PoE+ or PoE++ adapter that supports more wattage.

There is so much absurd regulation of marijuana in California, that the gray and black markets are still thriving. There is too much demand and not enough legal supply because of bullshit red tape. Making it easier to grow legally is the path to taking organized crime and violence out of it.
SEEKING WORK || USA registered LLC, remote OK

Tech: Javascript anything (frameworks, flavors, engines), Python, deployment, hosting, etc forms of web development. Full stack, devops, integrations.

I'm a member of a software engineering co-op, 508.dev LLC. We're web-environment specialized developers that as a team for previous clients have upgraded old builds to be serverless (jovono.com) and project managed, architected, and built from scratch an entire SASS frontend for a Ycombinator startup (cofactr.com).

Our site is https://508.dev. My personal resume as the founder and lead engineer is https://calebjay.com/resume.html.

We've had enough time open up to take on a new full time project, but are also happy to take a look at smaller or short-term needs, including consultancy, upgrades, or filling a dev team's gaps.

Happy to chat about work you need doing, joining our team, our somewhat unique structure as a co-op, or whatever else, at caleb@508.dev. I actually really like chatting so hit me on email about literally whatever :)

> This is exciting, but I try to maintain my composure.

One wit on a different social media site opined that "all technological advances such as plumbing and petrol result in lead poisoning, so perhaps this is real".
Wow, even while merely critiquing a change in legislative policy this congresman felt the need to affirm his belief that "Israel is a friend and ally."

How many other nations do our politicians feel compelled to make such remarks about? Maybe Ukraine?
Ask HN: Best way to keep firewall up to date with changing IP lists?
I'm working on a firewall for our SCIM server. Our SCIM clients are various identity providers (Azure Active Directory, Okta, etc.). We've created IP allow lists based on the lists of IP addresses published by these identity providers, but the lists can and do change.

If we want to stick with an allow list-focused approach, what's the best way to keep our IP lists up to date? Are there notifications out there that we can subscribe to (I'm searching for these)? Is it better to just periodically fetch the lists and update our firewall? Is it better to not rely so heavily on an allow list and instead focus the firewall on something else?

Any help/advice/pointers would be appreciated. I'm new to firewall configuration and maintenance. I'm reaching out to the identity providers, but also want to learn more about best practices. Thanks!
Wow, what damning evidence! Someone commenting about a forum is a member of said forum! What a scoop, Pulitzer incoming!

Even in my very first post in this discussion, I mentioned review queues and what I feel is wrong with SO recently. It's pretty clear to everyone with reading skills that I'm therefore an active member there. And no sane person would think my "objectivity is open to question" based on me commenting a few lines about an article. I'm not a "writer", I'm just commenting on an article. What a weird thing to demand "full disclosure" of.

(And if you knew anything about SO (which I think one should do when discussing it..), you'd know that the badges you mention is just things normal members can do. I have no extra privileges or responsibility, as you seem to imply)

Edit: the comment I'm replying to has been massively edited since I wrote this.

As for my 15 comments: it's me in the root of the discussion. I'm not all over the comments, I'm just responding to comments in the tree of comments I've started. I don't think that should be discouraged.
Everytime the subject come around, someone repeat this like it's a fact but nobody care to explain. Is criminalisation really the only hammer the gov has? What are the goods of saving people against their wishes? Are these goods higher than the damages caused by criminalisation?
Sure, as long as those people don't negatively affect others. Who cleans up after the addict? Who pays for their property crimes or aggression? Who has to clean up their body after an OD or discover it?

I'm open to decriminalizing everything, start with steroids. As long as there are harsh punishments for public intoxication, property damage, theft and all the adjacent crimes that addiction causes, have at it. It can't result in a wasteland of addicts in every down town though
They've just off-shored the lives lost. It's not any different than off-shoring manufacturing and poisoning some third world country with the waste chemicals and runoff instead of the homeland.
> Also having to get out of the car is a weird way to reset things. On old cars with broken power steering, shutting off and starting up will reinitialize things and maybe get them working. Does tesla not have a "reboot car computers" function?

I mean, for 'old cars with broken power steering', I'm thinking hydraulic power steering, probably low fluid from a leak, turn it off and on again isn't going to do anything. But that said, computerized cars often don't turn the computers off until you get out and lock the doors (or at least open and close the driver's door and maybe lock from the outside), if you need to cold boot something, that's the best way; just turn off and on usually doesn't turn the computers off enough.
> Now one can define constructors and virtual procs that map to C++ constructors and virtual methods, allowing one to further customize the interoperability.

I hope this will help with bindings for C++ libraries that have historically been tricky to wrap.

For example, I would like to use Qt from a compiled language that's a pleasure to use, and this project looks promising:

https://github.com/jerous86/nimqt
How can it do that? E.g. YouTube has billions of videos, will it download them all? Or how about any website that talks to a large database?
On the projects page (https://suricrasia.online/projects/) it says "Make glitchy beats with randomly generated Opus protocol packets." So I guess it's random data fed into the opus decoder.
Extremely relevant to electric cars. Looks like we are close to electric > ICE, (or past that point, whatever), but it was a long painful time of hyping subpar cars by those who believed in the potential of the technology.
The only thing missing from emacs taking over my life like this is a simple to connect to remote emacs server. I want to have my perfect config live on some server somewhere and then connect to the with my local emacs client, and then maybe tramp back if I need to deal with something local. Seems like it should be simple enough but I still haven't managed it.
What did you do to help these people who were suffering? Did you just glare and step over them?
A limitation...at ambient temperature and pressure.

Usually this is an optimization frontier, where something that has tetchy critical current/field at high temperature is going to have very good critical current/field at the same temperature as a lower-Tc superconductor.

If it superconducts at all at room temp, cooling it down even to 200K (about dry ice temp - quite cheap to do) could get you something very usable.
