I think this is an important distinction many people who are not familiar with the matter miss, psilocybin is not a party drug. I would say psilocybin is closer to say ayahuasca than it is to MDMA or other similar things. A good analogy I once heard is that on party drugs, you're figuratively behind the driver's wheel, whereas on psilocybin you're along for the drive and you'll see where it takes you.
Echo – smart reverse proxy with mocking
Hi,

Echo is a versatile and user-friendly mock server that simplifies API emulation using JSON configurations.

With its support for reverse proxy, it efficiently handles undefined routes, allowing developers to direct traffic to specified hosts. The ability to override specific URLs offers fine-grained control over responses.

Echo doesn't stop at basic emulation – it provides detailed request and response logs, including headers, for comprehensive testing and debugging.

Additionally, the support for decompression algorithms makes it an even more powerful tool for replicating real-world scenarios.

Explore Echo to streamline your API testing and development workflow.

No the history doesn't begin with that at all. The Palestinian Mufti more or less allied with Hitler and was friendly to a holocaust in the middle east. That was before Israel existed obviously.

And that is not a Godwins laws argument, that is something what happened.

Jew immigrated after Israel independence. They were free to allow this migration.

The protests really demonstrated the need for Israel to exist for that matter.

You also don't see people demonstrating because 200,000 Palestinians were expelled from Kuwait. Just because they supported Saddam, which is a pretty minor infraction compared to what was done to Jews.
> By far the most environmentally friendly thing to do currently is to keep existing vehicles running for longer, until they are eventually traded for something more efficient.

That is not true. The breakeven point vis-a-vis carbon emissions is 2 years, assuming the average milage of 13,500 miles. An EV is better than an equivalent new gasoline car if it drives at least 13,500 miles before being scrapped. A new EV is better than an equivalent used gasoline car if it drives at least 27,000 more miles before being scrapped.

> I'm yet to be convinced that these EV batteries will serve out the 10 years they claim

There are lots of >10 year old Leafs and Model S's on the road. And Leaf is the worst case scenario. Without temperature management they wear out a lot quicker than every other car battery does. And remember that used batteries don't get thrown out, they generally get repurposed into stationary storage. They can be recycled but generally aren't because they're too useful as is.
The Amp Hour's most recent episode #648 is an interview with Raspberry Pi Ltd team members and includes a lot of background information about the development of the RP1 silicon.

Yeah, turning that on and setting the exceptions is on my to-do list...
Fish isn't UNIX, and stating that Powershell just mimics existing popular bash/zsh means your not aware of Powershell capabilities versus bash/zsh.

Since when do bash/zsh offer a full sane programming language, not relying in external executables, a full blown language framework ecosystem, ability to load shared objects and importing public symbols as functions, and interoperate with D-BUS (as COM counterpart) as if client bindings were functions (again withouht external processes)?
You could say that witing software at all is regressive and we should implement everything in gates at the hardware level - it would be incredibly efficient. We do this with ASICS for bitcoin etc so why not for everything?

The hardware guys are working away to make hardware better all the time - whatever software people are doing. We could tell them to stop doing that, get other jobs so we could just write more efficient software . . . . but why?

When they run out of things to do we will be forced to concentrate on using what we have more effectively. Before then however, the most stupid thing to do would be to leave that capability they're providing unused.

as an example; I use MS Teams a lot - it's horrendous and ridiculously inefficient and I would love to have some stern words with the development team. OTOH I get lots of use out of it. It may not be the best of it's kind but it's what my company chose and it does a lot of very useful things. Better to have it than not on the whole.
Natural Earth is generalized (low zoom) data and has hand-curated scaleranks on features to determine what features appear at low zooms. None of that is in OSM.
I've been a paid member of 3 hacker spaces and a couple of niche creative communities over 20 years or so. There was a time when people were actually interested in experimenting, tinkering, and holding workshops. I think that has been replaced by hustle culture. I saw a lot of shops turn into laser cutter and C & C focussed fabrication shops. People were using the equipment to run under the table sign shops and Etsy production lines. They would book the equipment for 6-8 hour blocks and pay a premium. Indie users could never get a slot and learners were even more frustrated. There was rarely a density of users in there at the same time because everything was booked. The actual community just faded away. The infrastructure of shared resource communities got exploited by people who are purely motivated by money.

Another challenge is governance. Managing a volunteer organisation can be tricky, especially if a few get paid for various things. Passionate people burn out and leave. That leaves a management vacuum that is easily exploited by people with an agenda. I watched one shop get completely taken over by political issues and the original mission was left behind for identity focus. It was a real bummer.

The only ones that seem to survive have a strong professional management core and strict monetary oversight.
+1, Iryo and Ouigo are recent and they are losing money. Renfe has always been tremendously expensive - more expensive than a car or plane.

These train travel success stories are anti-personal transportation propaganda. They want to push you to using trains and then they will raise the prices - they want you not travelling anywhere if you are poor.
Organizational bugs can be very impactful to the organization that has them. But the memory safety bugs are typically exploitable via automatic methods and affect all organizations using the software. For example, Heartbleed was so talked about because it was so impactful.

I share your concern about using an app to deal with a psychological problem, but I think a counterpoint to your concern about this app being one-size-fits-all is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. The central premise of CBT is that it doesn't really matter what the roots of the behaviour a patient wants to change are. Reprogramming our behaviours is enough.

This is really the opposite of the old Freudian ideas that a therapist must get to the root of the problem (which might have been in childhood) before progress can be made on the neurosis.

Perhaps the author here is approaching social anxiety from the CBT perspective.
With a global recession and wars increasingly prevalent, a lot of legislation around clean energy may be required for economic and security purposes.
An update on this:

After talking to one of the contributors on Discord, it seems that they have a special "deploy" command for exactly this (copying files and dependencies for a single workspace package) which I had overlooked since the documentation for it wasn't so self explanatory, they have now updated the docs for this command [1] and opened a PR to update the docs for the Monorepo Docker example to use it instead [2].

I have to say I'm impressed with how responsive the maintainers were to my question, and this `pnpm deploy` workflow does actually make sense to me.

Barcelona is one city, one of the richests in the Penisula, and the capital of the Catalonia region.

Think outside of the box, of the rest of the other people outside Barcelona, specially the regions that aren't that full of money on their ayuntamiento.
We do not have any reliable financials from SpaceX, just advertized launch costs and PR releases. SLS on the other hand has, as does e.g. Ariane-6, public budgets and a lot more bureaucracy.

For Starship to make things like SLS obsolete, it has to be available first. Until then, it is just pure speculation. Is SLS more expensive than Starship development wise? Yes. But it is not the goal of a government to be profitable, nor is it to hand technologocal monopolies to eratic billionaires. Supporting alternatives is always good, and it maintains know-how and technology at different companies, which is also a good thing.
Interesting you claim that - I actually put together a rather in-depth report at the time and VP8/H.264 performed very closely as formats (that is, quality metrics vs. filesize were very comparable even if encoding time of x264/libvpx wasn't) and theora was just awful (SSIM and similar quality metrics were behind for like 30-40% which was a lot).

The article you've linked it talking about some decoder implementation details which I'm not sure were all that relevant for end users - x264 was always the superior encoder, libvpx was "ok", libtheora was terrible when it came to actual encoded video results. Not sure what the article you posted really proves around that.
I played fallout 4 recently, and there was a military recruiting office. Instead of a chair behind the recruiter's desk, there was wheelchair. wow.
> "Governments, companies and investors need to get behind clean energy transitions rather than hindering them," Mr Birol said.

Well, yes. There's a lot of investment that will become stranded in the transition, and that's going to try to stop it for as long as possible.

But thanks to other investment, solar cells have become incredibly cheap and we can get a lot of our energy from Big Photodiode.

The battery investment curve is happening as well. Not as fast as anything silicon-based, and you can safely ignore individual dramatic tech announcements, but the power of thousands of engineers each shaving off 0.1% of the cost year on year accumulates.
Anyone who can push updates to your phone can get full control of it any time they want, this should be fairly obvious.

> This would force Countries like China to clean up their act and stop Countries outsourcing their carbon emissions.

It's baffling to me that China and India are missing from almost all discussion of carbon emissions. They produce more CO2 than the west combined, and it's growing. And this isn't because of emission exports, as exports from china are falling yet their emissions are growing. It's because of their growing internal consumption.

Any serious discussion needs to include them. Otherwise you are not actually trying to solve the CO2 problem, just virtue signalling or actually wanting western decline, not a global warming solution.
I use xournal to add signatures (just pngs) and text to pdfs.
Marcel the author here. Didn't know I was also a shell, though I do also have one that is somewhat similar in concept.

While taking an existing programming language like Python is an obvious choice (and one that's been made a bunch of times), I think that ultimately you need a language where something like a pipe (of objects or text) is not bolted on, but a natural consequence of a more general view of programming based on architectural interconnection.

"Pipes and filters" is an architectural style. And it is itself a polymorphic style, meaning there can be substyles that pass objects and substyles that pass bytes, substyles where the filters are processes and substyles where filters are components within a process.

So: good direction, more of this!
It's already unique, so no need to cram more information.

About the backwards compatibility - the whole idea suggested in the article is that the user can block all cookies and use WebSession. That isn't backwards compatible with PHPSESSID either.
Indeed. Does your country import fossil fuels? Then you're at the mercy of global energy prices. Whereas renewables lock in the purchase of energy over 20+ years with a big upfront payment.

Ironically the rise in interest rates may be the worst factor affecting the transition.

SaaS Services Behind 15-Person Startup – 2nd Year in Review
I'm early in my emacs journey, but used VSCode for years. The Github extension is absolutely amazing for pull requests, since you have all your LSP and regex code navigation goodness. I only used it for a small percentage of reviews, but it made it vastly easier to grok the impact of every change.
> It's the same with using an LLM for therapy. Many therapists are furious with that, regardless of how effective it has been for many people.

I doubt therapists would get furious at people getting better, regardless of the mechanism, in the same way that doctors wouldn't be furious about a weird trick to cure rheumatism, the common cold, or any other malady.
Nice! We could be in the market for something like this soon.

What’s your quick pitch for why someone should use Revert vs competitors like Merge.dev and Nango?
Isn't it possible to decouple the two components, that is break the post-quantum one on classical computer and the classical one on a quantum computer, essentially making this combination null?
This is actually spelled out in the first paragraph of the link they provided, which makes me wonder why they linked to it in the first place.
Once the initial shakedown period has passed, in practice E-AB airplanes can fly where certified aircraft can. In a certified airplane, you still have to comply with 91.119.

I’ve only flown in a couple experimental—amateur-built aircraft; I think the current regs are a good balance of keeping “dangerous piece of shit” airplanes away from populated areas (once it’s flown out the initial operating hours, it’s probably not one) and allowing access to the National airspace system by others.

Just to add to this: Tylenol/paracetamol/acetaminophen can be a tragic method, because many people whose attempts fail in the short term, and who might otherwise recover, end up with liver failure and requiring a liver transplant.

Incidentally, its capacity for destroying your liver is also why this drug is especially dangerous for treating hangovers or for people who frequently drink alcohol.
I was originally planning to switch to an EV in 2027, but during the past three years I've been doing less than 6k km annually.

I still fire it up twice a month to do a weekend trip to places without public transport infrastructure, but that's it.

And this is the sort of edge case where it makes more sense to keep the fossil car - not your average daily user who racks up more miles annually than I do in three years.

My hope is that in the future I will be able to convert it to fully electric, since it's a hybrid.

"Every direction" isn't what you think it is.

Even if we had a voyager travelling the "opposite" direction, once outside the solar system they'd appear to be travelling at almost the same speed with respect to the orbit of the solar system around the milky way.

The solar system is estimated to orbit ~200km/sec around the centre of the milky way.

Even with a perfect ejection, at the estimated speed of Voyager you'd end up with one probe going ~180km and the other ~220km, which isn't a huge difference.

And that's without the fact that getting Voyager to that speed required some unique planetary alignment.
Congrats on the launch! This certainly seems like a product for which a big market exists.

As someone who is dealing with Salesforce integration in my own company, I have a question: how well does the Revert Salesforce integration work with highly customized Salesforce setup? We operate in a complex domain, so our Salesforce setup is customized with a bunch of custom entities in a complex hierarchy. So not just Accounts, Opportunities etc.
Does Revert work with that at all or does it assume a certain default data model?
> Russia has the economy the size of Italy. Three American states have bigger economies than Russia. Were more advanced than them on every level technologically economically militarily. The only thing they have is nukes which they'll still have no matter how Ukraine turns out.

That doesn't mean they aren't a military rival, Russias been building up there military stocks for decades, and inherited huge stockpiles as the successor state to the USSR.

That stockpile pile is being so quickly decimated that Russia is starting to dig into there stockpiles of tanks that are 60+ years old.

> That's been the propaganda reason for previous wars...

In what way is helping a country defend itself from a brutal imperialistic invasion not helping defend democracy?.
I guess their code for signal correction for the case of package loss or data loss on in transit has to be fascinating. Or it is some simple, yet always working method. Anyway, would be cool to read about the details of that logic/implementation.
> While I have never been at a place that did this, I have in my head the idea that the code should be an unfolding collective conversation, kind of like when folks are all collaborating on a shared Google Doc, I see that you are editing this section and I throw in a quick comment “don't forget to add XYZ” and then jump to a different part that I won't be stepping on their toes with.

You just discovered pair programming.

It works astonishingly well. The second pair of eyes not only catches errors and envisions expanded use cases, it also prevents you from shirking off to HN. The biggest problem is you need two people, preferably sitting right next to each other with just one person “driving”.
Maybe it is time to rethink what a terminal is, and get rid of the restriction to be text-only? There is really no reason for that, other than Typewriter heritage.
I mean this in the nicest way possible, you really should stop obsessing over culture war nonsense and start to understand what politics really are.

You can be anti-bourgeoisie and not be a socialist for instance conservatives
way back in time, who were from villages were anti-bourgeoisie due to the huge difference in living standards they themselves saw, where their community could bare write or read, but their colleagues kids were going to the most expensive private school, this was the backbone of forming universal education.

Another is that conservatives once advocated or supported feminist like policy like female education[1]

Don't use a regex, test only for a @ and a dot after it and call it a day.

Btw content is unreadable thanks to aggressive adblocker detection so much that this feels like spam.
Yeah no, if you try to check this into any codebase it should get rejected straight away. There is no need to regex emails pretty much anywhere, when you use an email for signup or similar you send a confirmation email which serves the same purpose - to make sure the address is valid and correct. Use `<input type="email">` or check that "@" is present if you must, but anything beyond that is nonsense.
unfortunately only gpt-4 worked well in my experience, smaller models would work well only for blocking simple things like "cat videos page", but not for anything else less trivial.

All too true...but you'll need to develop a serious business plan, pitch deck, etc. to get any VC funding for your new "Equal Pockets" clothing line and web store.

I'd suggest starting with some market research. The clothing industry is said to be pretty responsive to customer demand, with fairly low barriers to entry. Why aren't your future competitors already cashing in on this problem?

Fossil fuels aren’t going away, but maybe the future isn’t everyone in their own massive and heavy personal vehicles with a huge battery mined far away, maybe the future with less fossil fuels is more people walking and biking rather than driving
In my book, superficial code review produces only superficial results. This is how so many bugs get shipped despite the ubiquity of code review.

Call me crazy, but I've always approached code review from the standpoint of a tester: I build and run the code, see whether it does what it's supposed to do, look for possible weak points, and try to break it.

The diffs are the beginning rather than the end. They show you where to start poking around in the code. The proof is in the pudding, though.

You might respond, "That's what testers are for, not engineers." But who can test better than someone who understands the code and knows exactly where to look and what to look for?

I know this attitude puts me in the minority. The majority of engineers seem to have an inborn horror at the prospect of, gasp, manually running code. (They're also strangely averse to using debuggers.) They'll do anything in the world and write vast infrastructure to avoid it. Automate all the things! But in my view, automation is just more possibly buggy code. Who tests the tests? Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
An Antarctic ice melt leading to a 5m global sea-level rise would render London's Thames Barrier obsolete. We're talking about a threat that could manifest by 2050 if climate targets aren't met. The engineering challenge to upgrade or replace the barrier is colossal, think at least £10 billion just for the engineering, not factoring in the social costs.

Add land acquisition in London's expensive real estate market, and the relocation of communities, you could easily double or triple that cost. To put it in perspective, this could rival or surpass projects like the Channel Tunnel in terms of financial and logistical complexity.

And yet, there's a startling lack of political and public dialogue on this urgent issue. This isn't just about engineering; it's about national security and public safety. The disconnect is alarming.
This is incredibly interesting and eye opening. I hadn’t seen this before. Thank you!
