Calling taking a medicine an addiction is strange, sounds like they do not factor in it being a medicine.

For example, those with autism or schizophrenia have a faulty 'fatty acid binding protein 5' (fabp5)[1] which moves endocannabinoids to where they are needed[2]. Flooding the bloodstream with cannabis seems to help[3] by unlocking receptors that would normally be unlocked by endocannabinoids delivered by fabp5.

Obviously this is just one of many health benefits, such as muscle recovery[4] (who would even want that??? bloody addicts i tell ya!)

Because one requires you to merely type a simple URL in your browser that you already likely have open, the other requires you to install Go, clone a git repo, compile the program, install the program, and THEN finally run the program.
If it's on the public internet, you're not forcing anyone to provide you a service. Standing up reliable infra isn't easy nor free, no matter how trivial deploying it may be.
You know, every time I start-up VS Code something inside me bristles, having lived through web development in the late 90s when hole-ridden, M$-only IE ruled supreme and M$ deliberately flaunted web standards to enure all those company intranet apps built on IE would be incompatible with anything else. I never quite bought the Satya Nadella, Linux friendly revolution given how soon it followed a period when MS ruthlessly pursuded Linux companies such as Suse and Red Hat with their bogus patent racket. Then there was their thinly-veiled financing of SCO's gruelling UNIX patent lawsuit which, thankfully, failed. So I'm not surprised to see M$ reverting back to their original game from the Ballmer era. WSL - you all fell for it. It was just another round of good old M$ Embrace and Extend.

In addition to the book linked to by the other poster, a lot of the work of David Bentley Hart addresses the fallacies of materialist arguments:

I haven't read this one, but seems on point: https://www.amazon.com/Atheist-Delusions-Christian-Revolutio...

To be clear, Hart's own religious views seem pretty eclectic, and he is much less dogmatically Christian than blurbs and marketing of his books suggest.

That is one of the “great” things about weed. There really is no physical addiction so once you decide to stop (and avoid the behavior) then you’re pretty much in the clear. The behavior trigger can be strong so I’d recommend not having any in the house and picking up something exciting/interesting to do in the evenings to replace the urge

There's a difference between "I am appalled that they edited my perfectly poetic prose in this article about nematodes" and "the revert comment said 'I'm taking a machete to this bloated garbage. This is wikipedia, not Weird Tales', when a simple 'section is not succinct' would get the point across"

The question is not "should wikipedia/stackoverflow be a cold reference?", but rather, "do the editors of wikipedia/stackoverflow have to be such jerks about accomplishing that goal?"

All of these are things you should react to. Telling someone to answer messages and execute isn’t micromanaging. Micromanaging is telling them how to do things.
Plenty of investment is going into green hydrogen, to mature the remaining technologies (such as electrolysers and hydrogen combustors) and drive their costs down learning curves.

Note, however, that as long as your grid is still burning natural gas for power, it doesn't make much sense to burn green hydrogen on it too. Eventually the natural gas will get very expensive (CO2 charges if nothing else), but for now price spikes are short term because LNG can be brought in (this is what Europe has done after Russia shut off the gas.)

Green hydrogen is going to have to be something that is produced, because the world uses about 100 million tonnes of hydrogen a year. Ammonia is an essential commodity chemical made from hydrogen. Some 6% of current world natural gas consumption goes to making hydrogen. These markets can and will be served by green hydrogen even before hydrogen is used for grid generation, and this will serve as dispatchable demand to help smooth renewable intermittency even without hydrogen being burned for power generation. And once there are large stockpiles of green hydrogen, it will be a small step to divert some of it for backup generation.

I think the obvious match here is how IPFS can use a dnslink TXT file to point to the content-addressable top of an IPFS-distributed static web https://docs.ipfs.tech/concepts/dnslink/ . This is how a lot of dweb/web3 websites maintain and advertise a non-http mirror. It works out of the box for sites served using https://distributed.press/ (non-commercial, open source) or https://fleek.co/ (hosted).

If you use Brave, or have the IPFS browser extension, you can access sites like https://ffdweb.org/ as an option, or preferentially.

To be honest there is never going to be an optimal solution here, because every 2nd engineer is gonna want to reinvent the wheel and do it their way, and then sell their “way” since they invested so much time into it.
Entirely correct. I'm from Western Europe, and almost everything (or at least a great lot) that is humanly accessible is meant to be used by humans, including grass. Note that this is not in opposition to "carefully manicured", as there is plenty of lawn (for example) which is carefully tended to, but still publicly accessible.

It's also totally natural to sit on art, if it's convenient for sitting, even if it's many centuries old.

A decade ago I moved to California, and it's a very stark contrast there. There is so much greenery and similar that is just "off limits" and made for just looking at it.

Generally, in California things feel much more "fenced off", even without any actual fences.

Treating medicine and addictive substances as mutually exclusive categories is much stranger.

> If mailing lists and newsgroups and BBSs and blogs with comment sections and instant messaging/chat rooms and forums and wikis are all "social media"

Yes, I would consider basically all of those things to be social media, with the possible exception of wikis and blogs where most people don't go to the blog specifically to comment and read others' comments. They are all media for social interaction.

On the other hand, news websites like bbc.co.uk or company websites like microsoft.com are not, generally speaking, social media.

I realise we can argue forever about the corners of this loose definition I haphazardly threw out. But what is the rationale for distinguishing between Reddit and HN (on the one side) and Twitter and Facebook (on the other)? The root comment of this thread complained about social media being full of marketing, PR, virtue signalling and self-promotion. You can argue that is an unduly harsh assessment, but BBS, IRC, Reddit and HN have all had their fair share of all that stuff.

> why did anyone invent the term "social media" 20 years after it had existed

Because back in the 90s the mainstream media had nothing to say about BBS and IRC so they didn't need a term for it.

The perceived unfriendliness of Stack Exchange comes from a simple conflict: It's meant to be a knowledge base, a collection of "authoritative" answers to "general-purpose" questions. For better or worse, it's not a forum by design. In fact, forum-like behaviors are effectively banned. Stack Exchange wants the site to be an FAQ database, "there's no chit-chat."

This mode of operation, to my knowledge, is unprecedented in the history of the Web, unlike most things that came before or after it. A question must be asked and answered in a very particular way. For example, one is expected to do the following:

1. Show one's knowledge. Whenever a question is asked, one should write an introduction to present the background of the question to fit inside the knowledge base format. One should also write down all the previous solutions one has already attempted and why one has failed so far.

2. Case minimization. If one has a question from a large system, one must extract the core part via minimal reproducible example and present the problem in isolation (but also introduce just enough background to show a clear motivation and that it's not an X-Y problem). Ideally, the question must have a laser focus on an extremely narrow technical point. Come up with a proper minimized case may take an hour, just like when one's submitting bug reports to Bugzilla or mailing lists.

3. Encyclopedic tone. Ideally, each answer must be written as if it's a Wikipedia article on the matter of the question.

If anyone's asking for clarification, it means this question is probably not properly asked. A question must be as "non-specific" and "objective" as possible. Similarly, the answer must also be as "authoritative" and "objective" as possible.

I found Stack Exchange is a great site and the knowledge base model works extremely well if you have a suitable question, or if you have the writing skill to frame the question into the proper form, as I've received helpful answers from multiple experts in the fields.

However, the fact that Stack Exchange is not a fourm is completely alien to most visitors, and there's an strong and serious need of forums. The large amount of negative feedback from new users is hardly a surprise.

Another problem is that it's only suitable for a particular kind of question, the kind of question with a clear and authoritative answer. If the question is opinion-based, it's out of scope. If a question is extremely specific for your setup, the question is out of scope. If the question needs discussions for clarifications and conversations, it means the question is probably out of scope. It's also extremely difficult, by design, to debate on anything should a disagreement arise, since the site intentionally does not support replies or threads (comments are only usable for quick remarks) - anything that can't be answered with hard facts is out of scope.
I had a similar reaction as well: Isn't that just a little disingenuous - or misplaced surprise? My impression was Facebook shouldn't rank high on privacy or free speech security ("free speech" is not defined by the US constitution, and this is a european case anyway).

On the bright side, the article is full of interesting detail.

I was lumping dam infrastructure into the "other gravity batteries" which does cause ecological nightmare situations. if they only meant the fringe gravity batteries like block elevators and the like then it's not as bad a thing but you still require a large amount of fresh water which is an issue in a lot of places too.

Hello, fellow quitter.

I notice that routine caffeine consumption brings about subtle personality changes, like tendency towards aggression and neurosis. It doesn’t kick in right away, but more over the course of a couple of weeks. Not sure if this is a direct effect, or whether this is compounded by lack of sleep.
Based on your description, you could describe “need fulfillment” as a task associated with the NPC object. Then you just maintain your original operations while adding NPCs to your object list.

That's not at all the point.

Imagine the following game: you throw three dices. If the three dices are not ending on 1, you win 1 dollar. If they are ending on three 1, you lose 100'000 dollars.

If you throw the dice ten times, you will, with high probability, not have three 1 (the probability of appearing is 0.5% per throw). You will probably need to throw more then 10 times before loosing. But when loosing, you will lose a lot too, which makes the bet intrinsically a bad idea (the win does not justify the risk if unlucky).

France has 56 nuclear plants. 56! It's totally unreasonnable to draw conclusion on intrinsic safety of the nuclear plants on such a small number. The fact that you cover the full population with a small number of plants does not change that: it does not change the fact that you cannot conclude scientifically. The same way it is incorrect to say "I only need 3 throws, so it means that the 1-1-1 bet is intrinsically a good idea".

(PS: please do not answer about "loosing 100'000 dollars, but with nuclear disaster, it's not that bad", it's not the point. The point is that statistics is a large number game, and that we just don't have a large number of nuclear power plants to do statistics with them)

On the landing page, there's a little blurb about a blogging platform (called "re:" I guess?) built on markwhen. But there's no link to any such platform and, well... trying to google "re blogging platform" is an exercise in futility.

Firstly, my previous statement needs quite a lot of clarification:

Khoj works more like an incremental, natural language version of org-agenda-search (or projectile) rather than isearch.

You've to configure which files it should index first. You can then use natural language to search those files with a search-as-you-type experience.

This is not the same as isearch that just searches the current file for keyword matches.

Second, khoj doesn't index source code and the default search models don't work well with code files.

But yeah someone should implement a natural language isearch as a standalone tool (as suggested by parent comment). It'd be super-useful
In my experience, quitting caffeine is much harder than quitting weed. I've managed to go from daily use to no use for years with marijuana, and did not notice any withdrawal symptoms. Caffeine on the other hand I have tried numerous times to quit, and failed every time. The longest I've managed to go is 3 months, and the withdrawals are terrible.

Similar regulatory regimes started by the same groups of people, which work in similar ways? AKA think of every possible thing that could go wrong and mandates designs with have engineering margins far in excess of what the a reasonable analysis of the risks/etc would call for.

We could do similar things to renewables by simply mandating that they have carbon free backup sources sufficient to guarantee four of five nines of reliability.

It's only been a week! I'm a materials scientist and the recipes for material growth are true for their systems. I have to find the truth on my system, so if a recipe calls for a deposition temperature of 100 C and anneal at 600 C I may find I need to anneal at 675 C to get similar results to that in the paper.

I'd be surprised if someone had already reproduced it so soon. These things take a few months to get right.
Do you think so? I would consider myself an Expert C programmer. I haven't written a C compiler but I can see how I would go about it, I know a lot of the weird arcana, and I followed WG14 enough to be heartened but not astonished when C23 got #embed while C++ still can't unstick their version of this work (and thus in practice if you're a C++ programmer you should hope your vendor's C++ compiler just offers the C feature anyway)

But I fell very much for Rust in about 2021, and now definitely wouldn't write any more C. Rust has coherent answers to a lot of questions that, to my mind, should be in any C programmer's head.

Now, maybe it helps my CS course's first language was SML/NJ and of course Rust is basically an ML in a trench coat pretending to be a semi-colon language like C. But that CS course was at least half a decade after I began writing C, which was in turn after many years of BASIC (and somewhere in there a little bit of Z80 assembler, but man assembler sucks when the CPU is as limited as the Z80 was, you young people who have a fucking floating point multiply instruction don't know what you've got etc...)

To me, the veteran C programmer, Rust's implementation makes lots of sense, while at the same time it's type system appeals to the more principled Computer Scientist I was taught to be, and its tooling to the Engineer I became as an employee.

Two examples: Wrapping<i32> is exactly how a 32-bit signed integer actually works in any vaguely modern computer. The machine can do this, and so unsurprisingly on a real computer this is nice and fast, despite also being completely safe. But, Wrapping<i32> is a nice elegant type, Wrapping is a polymorphic type, which grants to integers the property of wrapping (modulo) arithmetic for their normal operations, and so i32 is just a type parameter. Beautiful, and yet also fundamentally exactly how the machine works so it's fast.

Second, Option<&T> is exactly the same implementation as a C-style pointer. But it has the same ergonomics as rich Maybe types from a language like ML. So you use it in an inherently safe way, with the compiler catching many common mistakes you could make because they don't make coherent sense in the type system - but at runtime it's exactly the same performance as the nasty C code you'd have written where those mistakes wouldn't be caught.
Show HN: CocktailCMS – in-browser database with no login or servers required
During the lockdown in 2020, my girlfriend, an enthusiastic mixologist, needed a tool to organize her cocktail recipes and visualize the data. Traditional spreadsheets weren't cutting it due to the deeply nested data, and this struggle led me to create 'CocktailCMS'.

Drawing inspiration from old-school databases like DBase, FoxPro, and MS Access, CocktailCMS is a browser-based database with features such as linking datasets and sub-tables. It's designed for local data storage in JSON format, but there's an option to sync with Google Drive for backup. Data can be exported in CSV and easily copy-pasted into visualizers.

To give you an idea of what it can do, I've included two example datasets: a Game of Thrones one and another one on Mixology.

The project is currently built in JS + Vue2. However, it does need a bit of renovation due to tech rot. I'm contemplating an upgrade to TS + Vue3, and also want to open source the project. But before I embark on this, I'm curious to gauge the community interest. Your feedback and suggestions are much appreciated!
