It's easier to get addicted to weed than alcohol in my opinion.

Alcohol addiction is very noticeable. People around you also notice. Alcohol will destroy both your mind and body. You're much more likely to be aware that you're addicted to alcohol than weed.

Weed addiction is slower. It starts out as only beneficial - until it isn't. Weed will only affect your mind. Unlike alcohol, it won't directly do physical harm to your body. The negative effects to your body from weed is indirect - such as getting lazy, munchies, etc.

>I not sure if it hurts peoples ability to learn, even if some people have some memory impairment.

This has to be a joke right?

Do you have family members who are below 18? If you truly believe what you said, you'd allow them to smoke weed and go to class.
I agree too. Another example: I find early returns in functions easier to read than “else” with one “return” at the end. Basically vertically linear code as opposed to unnecessary branches and too much indentation, keeping the code slimmer is healthier!
> The HOA sold a home worth over $500k (almost paid off) for $85k at auction, to recover $6k of fines.

This alone smells as a fraudulent scam. Let me guess -- the person who bought the house is a friend of the HOA board and will flip the house shortly.

Yes, and that is irrelevant. If the owner can fully control his or her device then so should NSO. That's why well-designed hardware tends to have hardware-enforced hardware input to override security settings. In the past they were simple dip switches on motherboards (some gaming motherboards still have them for overclocking), for modern phones it seems to be the secure boot/hypervisor environment itself in conjunction with hardware keys like volume buttons. Physical hardware-validated input (or physical access to the device) is sufficient to spoil the schemes of NSO or any other group of remote coward criminals. No need to further encroach on owner rights.

"NSO" should never be accepted as a valid argument against providing a secure boot bypass to device owners. Never.
Someone smart said, "When you've lost something, and finally find it, don't put it there again. Instead put it the first place you looked."

I think that applies to code. When I read something I wrote, if I'm annoyed at how it reads, I try to refactor it to be what I wanted to read, and remember to do it that way in the future.

But sometimes what the reader wants is too much work for the writer, so I don't push that effort beyond what it's worth.
What you are missing is that basically everyone needs a phone, not everyone needs an arduino. There is a fundamental difference between even 30¢ and free. Make developing free and suddenly you’ll have more developers.

Now it’s a whole other discussion of if that’s a good thing or not. But I personally like to believe that everyone should be able to develop as a hobbyist. The commercialization of software is often at odd with it’s users. Not so much when people are doing things for themselves and for fun.

Just my 2¢
> geared at capturing value from what's already out there

This sounds like a plausible motive. There's a handful of huge games using Unity that together generate upwards of 20bln annually, such as Pokemon GO, Honor of Kings, and Genshin Impact. I'm guessing their soundbite of "developers being excited" over the change is with those behemoths in mind, and not the other games that are barely making ends meet.

These particular successful games are still going to save millions compared to Unreal, while the change means that everyone else would now be more profitable with Unreal. Pokemon GO alone would have made Unreal $100mln+ a year with the 5% royalty, while paying considerably less with Unity's new scheme. Even at a billion downloads it's only $10mln in comparison.

It sounds like Unity is shifting their focus from the long tail where they were successful charging annual subscription fees (and ads), to the head that's generating orders of magnitude more revenue.
Caffeine does cause insomnia which in turn causes other mental healh problems.

Outer Wilds tops my personal list of "videogames you should play before you die."

I'd recommend it to anyone regardless of experience with videogames, even people that have never played a videogame. The beginning area reminds me of old school videogame tutorials, it's basically just a safe "sandbox" where you can experiment with all the mechanics and figure everything out.

If, incredibly, you haven't heard of this game yet, do yourself a favor, don't look anything up, take us on faith and just buy it and play it. It's even better if you go in blind.
Jut an FYI, weed makes sleep quality worse. Also, your tolerance will build up over time. 5mg THC won't work in the future. You'll have to up it to 10mg, then 15, then 30 and so on.
There doesn't seem to be any response to this from the Blue Sky team so far.

I can't help but think that Jack doesn't believe in Blue Sky that much. From what I can find, he doesn't seem to participate or even have an account. Meanwhile, at least Elon and Mark both post regularly on their social media sites.
> They showed the link between smoking and cancer with a mountain of empirical evidence, including tests on mice.

Yes, it does now. From what I've seen, people complain about how long it took for official action in labeling to take place on tobacco smoking, but it's up to them how much effort they want to put into preventing a repeat situation. For a somewhat related example, some people think the FDA puts so much effort into preventing a repeat of thalidomide that it's a net negative for the entire organization to exist at all, and suggest expanding the category of "legal but not (effectively) mandated" to include almost all proposed drugs. "Never again" is much harder and more costly than many people think, because you have to get it right (or err in the direction of preventing the type of outcome in question) every single time, but if a single thing gets through, it's all over.

Make your decisions as rationally as possible.

> I suggest a war on ice cream.

Ice cream has some pretty funny statistics that I don't really buy as making actual sense. I'd limit usage quite heavily.
Every time somebody says Outer Wilds, I think Outer Worlds, and that game could not have less exploration.
But even then they’re not going to proactively stop it, it’s up to devs to monitor their bill and go “wait we’re getting bombed”. Their whole approach is terribly sloppy and unprofessional.
You're certainly correct that software companies should do a lot more year+ A/B tests. You can learn really interesting things from it that a shorter test won't capture. I know of this one: https://medium.com/@AnalyticsAtMeta/notifications-why-less-i...
The author's idea that writing down your unlock codes and PINs on paper is an acceptable/reasonable backup system is, I think, a bit wishful, and quite impractical for most people.

I recommend getting 5 Yubikeys, generating unique PGP keys on all of them, then storing two offsite in different locations, such as your vacation home or safe deposit box or office. Three are for your keychain and one each for your desktop and laptop or two laptops.

Then, PGP encrypt your text file with all of these details to all five keys.

I have two Yubikeys (a primary and a backup) in each of two safe deposit boxes in different states (4 total), one on my keychain, and one nano in each of my 5 computers. I encrypt my long term data to 10 recipient keys.
But I do use them, so I must gain some benefit from them.

There's even more trash that doesn't get used and we never hear about (or hear about and decide not to use). A lot of that is produced by large companies with big budgets.

A public company with veteran leadership does not upend their revenue model without first playing out, in great detail, how it will impact all of their largest users. The segment you mention may not have popped into your mind, but it's certainly been on theirs. This was intentional.

What category of game has "a huge user base and a very low price per purchase?" Mobile free-to-play, that's what. How are those games monetized? Frequently with ads. And it's been noted elsewhere that if you use Unity's ad network, you will get a 100% discount on your per-install fees.

They knew exactly what they were doing. They merged with an ad company -- they are now an ad company. Their strategy is to make F2P games untenable on Unity if you're not getting advertisements from them.

This is a persistent myth in crypto circles, but it doesn’t match up with the financials of any company I’ve seen. Instead what happens is that once you’ve paid to build up mining capacity, particularly for mining rigs, any downtime is extremely costly.

Miners are always racing against the clock of increasing hashrate and the next halving.

Jake sounds like a completely loving, thoughtful, compassionate human being.

It seems a bit ironic that the author spends a lot of the time lamenting her loss of his support for her creative process. Seems to me that given his (soon) impending loss of any capability to express anything at all, that the focus should be on whatever his wishes are -- whatever he wants to express or do in the short time he has left. Ie, his writing, his time, etc, and not hers.

Far too often, people do actually neglect the fact of the precious and irreplaceable opportunities they have among them -- such as rare and beautiful souls such as Jake. Very easy to take for granted the gifts we are given -- the people that provide. It sounds like she did so for 15 years, and of course, now that it is nearly lost, it is easy for her, now, to notice the notice the loss, and yet still call it her loss, rather than his.

How is it that even his dying, it is somehow still about her, and not about him, his wishes, creativity, wants, needs, desires, in his last days? Somehow, this is getting overlooked.
i appreciate you sharing this. ofc, it's only one anecdotal piece of evidence, but i have been a bit torn about my use of cannabis at times. i sometimes feel it maybe helps, but i wonder if that's just the short term side effects that seem to calm me, and the long term effects (even if only using once a month) make my emotions more unstable...

Because it’s not about (only) the THC. The other cannabinoids, the terpenes, ... all seem to modulate the effect of the high.

if you consider it an exploit you should probably consider, say, github issues markdown to be exploitable

You can have "premium" services for-profit over and above base-level services. In countries where the government provides healthcare, you can pay for amenities like a private hospital room. Or if the government is too slow with mail delivery, you can pay a courier to overnight it. and so on.

You can say whatever you want in a contract. If the other party thinks it is illegal they take you to court and the judge decides.
It has, and ironically one of those harms is that in the U.S at least ...it is still illegal or incredibly difficult to do medical studies on cannabis and it's effects because it remains a controlled substance. We need to reclassify cannabis at the federal level now so that scientists are free to do research without breaking the law.
WhatsApp reluctantly starts work on crossplatform messaging due to EU regulation
The thread is large, maybe I read the whole thing at one time, but the point of it is literally someone asking why using direct io is slower. That is the point I make, you can't just enable direct io (which by passes all the logic to speed up reads and writes) and expect increased performance without a lot of extra up front work.

But back to my first question, I am still curious what your workload is that you feel will benefit from direct io :)
Noob here, but also a former web dev from the Web 1.0 days, looking to get back into the game.

Like you, I dislike much of the modern web frameworks and all the bloat and unnecessary complexities that come with it. I roughly tuned out of this stuff when JQuery became mainstream and everyone and everything started using it, and I couldn't be bothered to keep up any more, nor did I feel inclined to invest my time in such a bloated framework. I did come back to webdev every now and then for casual projects, but every time I did, the world moved from one fad framework to the other, which made me dislike this messy ecosystem even more.

In particular, one environment/toolset that I really disliked was Node.js. Every time I did anything with Node, it always turned into pulling down a gazillion dependencies, and eventually down the line, that led to stuff breaking because some random dependency of a dependency was no longer compatible a with newer version of node or something. It basically put me off modern webdev for good, to the extent that I web back to using plain ol' php for the backend, and since then I've been exploring using pure HTML5+CSS3 without any Javascript for the frontend, but I've been seeing limitations like not being able to do stuff like real-time form validation etc.

Which brings me to your example:

# install dependencies
npm install

May I enquire why you're using npm here? Exactly what dependences are you pulling down? I thought the whole point of Nue was to avoid bloat like Node.js and dependency hell? Isn't Nue supposed to be a self-contained library/ecosystem?

Can I use Nue without touching any Node stuff at all?

In my view, bachelor's degree is beginner, especially if you haven't got any further knowledge than that from work experience or anything.
What would be the ideal suggestion for a Yubikey setup -- where I’m not hounded by authorities, don’t want to act out the James Bond lifestyle, and am just an ordinary person interested in extra security for him and his family?

I want to be able to have Yubikeys for (i) my primary desktop at home, (ii) my travel Laptop & other devices (iii) backup (at least two) if any of the primary ones fail. Rinse and repeat for each family member.

The Sonic Colors Remaster had an infamous strobing issue on the Switch before it was fixed. Cassette Beasts, a great game on Godot (https://godotengine.org/article/godot-showcase-cassette-beas... ), had weird performance issues for a relatively simple graphics game.

Godot on consoles isn't as seamless as Unity, unfortunately.
At the time the TSA was hired the majority of workers had previously been airport security which is was low-skill/low-pay job. When Bush Jr established the TSA, those same people were federalized. Meaning Federal pay, benefits, retirement, etc for the same low skill level.

Calling it insurance rather than a payment plan or something.

Further it’s got some serious conflict of interest going on with how the benefits are structured. So a plan may cover 1 300$ par of glasses, but not 2 pairs of 150$ glasses specifically to minimize the risk of a race to the bottom etc.
I think people have underestimated the environmental impact of training AI models.

While one can argue things like GPT3/4 are useful, the question becomes how useful are they if they burn up gigawatthours to do it?

GPT3 alone took around 334MWh to train, and that's one model from one company, and that's just for training, not usage.

We should be focusing on making power cheaper and more accessible to everyone, not policing what people do with the power they have purchased.

> From a bank/fund perspective - we get tons and tons of training about how we should not insider trade, money launder, etc. They have people who have gone to jail come give talks about how it's not worth it, it was the biggest mistake of their lives, etc.

Not to be paranoid, but that's also how a bank that wanted people to insider trade would act. The idea is, you see the people who got caught, learn what they get caught for, and carve the apple just a little bit less than they did.

A principled (naive) person imbibes the meaning "Don't do bad stuff", and an ambitious (sociopathic) person learns how to do it and what gets caught.
