Unless you're a daily smoker with a built up tolerance, smoking a whole joint to yourself is going fuck you up. Especially if it's a dispensary preroll. If I was rolling one for myself it would be a lot skinnier and about half the weight. Hell, maybe the problem is that it's too cheap and readily available. I remember in highschool everyone was trying to conserve what they had and stretch it out as much as possible. Like packing a bowl and smoking a corner at a time over the evening.

If you’re interested in row level access control on Postgres, it works like this:

Prior to doing queries, you do a SQL query that sets a “Postgres environment
variable”.

In very simplified terms, after that, queries automatically have a WHERE clause applied which ensures only rows with the value of the env variable are returned.

This is a good thing because it means you do not have to write WHERE customer = ‘blah’ anywhere.

Thank you for the feedback - you playing and taking the time to write all of this is super helpful and I really appreciate it.

The option to move quickly between puzzles totally makes sense - I added in buttons below the "Graphs title" to do so. Does it work well from your PoV?

I also made it so that the "play" button only pops up on your first graph of each day, afterwards it will not impede you as you binge :)

I fixed the August 16th labeling (regex strikes again) too, nice find.

The date thing is almost certainly due to varying timezones of players - they're all around the world at this point. I'll have to think more deeply about how to fix that, but it is 100% going to happen.

Thanks again for all the feedback and for playing!

A person could easily get the impression the UK didn't police crime online, simply because crimes like DDOS attacks, cryptolockers, cryptocurrency scams, identity theft, fake tech support callers and suchlike are all typically cross-border crimes where the police have basically no powers.

The reality is the police are more than happy to act when the criminals involved can be identified, and are under their jurisdiction, and you can get the attention of the right department - that's just a very rare set of circumstances.

Hello, I'm a systems guy who isn't shy to dive into coding and I also have some experience as a software team lead. I've spent the two last years founding and running my own company but now I'm willing to find new challenges.
I see a lot of cynicism about “code monkey” and privilege. For physical labor, 8h with mandatory breaks is possible. For the “code monkey”, it is scientifically known that brain can’t focus and perform well for more than 4h. In addition the soul killing meetings and the wasted commutes also sap one’s mental energy.

That all being said, such disdain for knowledge work in this thread is immensely alarming. Also, the example of going to another cubicle, chatting with colleagues, getting a coffee, going to the loo etc are for people in Corp where it is easy to hide your incompetence, for rest of us plebs, those are bs that probably count up to may be 15 minutes.

On most days, I barely have time to complete enough pending reviews and doing my own stuff on top of useless meetings watching management flexing their arms on turf wars and irrelevant processes, after which am brain dead.

At my workplace, only people spending 1h on coffee break and chitchatting or smoking are just management discussing their life and family, for us, such discussions are left for after work when we are still alive for a walk.

Also this hour thing sounds to me suspiciously like a build up for statistics that, meatbags are so unproductive and lazy, look how our chatbot can gurgle stackoverflow examples in adequately coherent manner to replace all these lazy monkies.

He shows real data, you use ChatGPT, modify the timeline plus admit the numbers are off - yet you say he's making the mistakes?

High level: You're trying to make the case that iPhones were immediately more successful than the conventional market leaders like Razr and Blackberry when that's not the case by far - it wasn't true for several years.

When someone shows that's wrong with numbers (e.g. 130 million Razrs sold in 2 years vs iPhone's 6 million in 2 years) you say something like "yeah but they were new to the space!" But that's totally peripheral, and counter to your original claim.

You'll never convince those of us who were 18-24 years old when iPhone released what happened. You obviously don't have a clue, probably were a child or out of the country at the time because you're using ChatGPT to pull up (false) info we all know intuitively.

Other awful takes:

> Macbook sales were insignificant

False.

> Mac by itself isn't a lucrative or really important business.

Lol. Saying $10 billion a year is not lucrative is crazy. Saying that 30%+ market share on the laptop market is not important is crazy.

> Once the iPhone comes out we see it crazily cannibalizing iPod sales. At that point strategically the iPod barely got any attention.

Nobody ever compared iPhone to iPod - we were talking about feature phones of the day like Razr, Blackberry, Nokia, etc.

Most of your paragraphs are pure conjecture.

I feel like the biggest, most effective step we should take is to stop these companies from being able to buy political power. “Breaking” them while those in charge of breaking are owned by the same companies that is being broken up is not a real solution. It is purely optics. If political power was not for sale to the highest bidder, we could actually tackle monopolies by fairly regulating them. Until that happens, anything we try to do to handle said monopolies is a little pointless because they have direct control over the regulators.

Maybe I’m not smart enough to understand how this is not the most obvious first step towards any meaningful change. So maybe someone can point out what I’m missing here.
I just wish this guy would take the loss and sell twitter and go back to being an uncontroversial tech legend. Mixing with Social media has corrupted every positive thing he has done and maybe will do if he keeps it up at the current pace. People tire of the drama king. If you don't know what I mean.. he said his transgender child is dead to him in a publicly aired interview. That's where this guy is in his personal relationships.
Headphone jacks are easier to use with friends. A few years ago, if a friend was riding with me in the car, I would offer them a chance to plug their phone into the audio system using a 3.5mm cable. Now, most of my friends don't have a phone with the audio jack, and pairing their phone via bluetooth is a small headache that also seems to have a small random chance of failure.

Similarly, I used to keep a "headphone splitter" cable in my laptop back and backpack. If I were listening to something interesting or funny, I could share that with someone, connecting two (or more!) pairs of headphones to one device. I think it may be technically possible to do something similar on the latest bluetooth standards, but even thinking about trying to do it makes me tired.

On a different note, I have an old but nice hifi stereo in my home. It has a few different audio sources, but the one I use the most is my previous smartphone, which sits next to the stereo, permanently connected with a 3.5mm cable. It has no mobile data plan, but it connects to my home's wifi, and I use it to play music from a streaming service and to my media server that holds a collection of ripped CDs. I think it's a great way to extend the usefulness of an elecronic device, but that is only made possible by utilizing widely adopted standards.

Qualia is a silly god of the gaps style argument. There's no difference between "seeing red" and "having your neurons tickled so that you think you're seeing red".

People really don't understand consciousness, but it's actually quite simple when you realize that the question isn't "is this conscious?", it's "what is this conscious of?". A rock is not conscious of anything, because it has no state that represents anything. A sunflower is conscious of the sun's position, because it has state that represents that. A cat is conscious of much more, such as "this mouse is food". An LLM is conscious of much more, but less than a human.

The LLM is a model that is conscious of many things, as experienced through the medium of human text.
I've often though about sleep in RPG terms. Sleeping gives me 1 experience point to put into any skill, and I get to choose which skill gets the experience point by what I work on during the day.

> One of the basic premises of the legalization movement is that marijuana, if not harmless, is pretty close to it—arguably much less dangerous than alcohol. But much of the weed being sold today is not the same stuff that people were getting locked up for selling in the 1990s and 2000s

The comments saying “just smoke less” are missing the point here I think.

There’s a widely held belief among many users that all warnings about cannabis use and potency are bullshit. This is understandable given the decades of demonization and actual lies about the harms of cannabis.

But this is a problem because many people who end up experiencing the negative effects (ranging from habitual use that is hard to stop to full-on hyperemesis syndrome) are often fully convinced that negative outcomes are extremely unlikely. Many struggle to get support because people don’t believe them. People don’t take the addiction potential seriously and chalk it up to mental problems on the part of the user.

And it’s not just high THC flower. It’s also the even higher concentrations in vape pens, higher still in concentrates, etc.

A common recommendation among users who’ve experienced these downsides is to “avoid carts and concentrates, stick to flower”, which is good advice, but the point here is that flower is often looked at as the “low THC” option because realistically it currently is, relative to the other products on the market.

While I agree that “smoke less” is probably still the right thing to do, the problem is that there isn’t a wide enough understanding of the potency problem for people to realize this is what they should be doing for their own safety. There isn’t a wide enough understanding of what “less” actually is, concretely. And the “you can’t OD on this stuff” position is technically true but wrong in practice. You may not die, but it’s shockingly easy to overconsume without realizing it, and overconsumption comes with real risks.

I still think it should be legal, but this space desperately needs two things:

1. Updated educational campaigns that focus on debunking lies and keeping people aware of real risks

2. More low THC strains. If I could easily find 10-15% strains, that’s all I’d ever buy
I think if you have a normal diet and no zinc deficiency there is no value of supplements, but if there is a deficiency it may help. This could explain why it didn’t help to prevent the infection but there was some evidence that it reduces the duration. Most people don’t eat much when they’re sick.
Yep, it truly isn't rocket surgery, and even in the worst case, ohhh no, I might be a little too high for 30 minutes, sacre bleu!! Truly the end of the world, better make it illegal again so we can all go back to smoking larger amounts of dodgy street stuff laced with god knows what. That'll improve everything for sure! Brilliant.

I only ever smoke pure (basically the only person in Europe to do so unfortunately) but still call it a joint if it's rolled, maybe there's a terminology issue there. Either way, in practice I'll just go on the balcony with my little bubbler and pre-refridgerated water, take literally one toke and be fine for the evening. How people can try to make a complex topic of this, I cannot begin to fathom...

Not true, modern BT codecs can be essentially transparent, and cheap 3.5mm jacks can have all sorts of issues. Bad noise performance, bad interchannel isolation, pop click issues, etc. don’t underestimate how badly you can design a 3.5mm jack especially if the phone only costs like $50 total.
Twitter honestly really sucks now.

I loved it when it was T9 text (sms) to tweet. It was a novel way to share what you were doing say to day. The transformation from personal—to-promotional was their business plan.

When the feed becomes suggested, that’s when shit hit the fan for every social product. They still offer that as annoyware where you have to click over to it, but the nash equilibrium means that even the people you follow are trying to go viral instead of just sharing thoughts.

Reddit targeted the market for thoughtful discussion, and Twitter became the place for one-directional, bumper-sticker, talk radio style politics where nobody actually cares about the truth.

But for those few years between 2006-2010, Twitter was really a cool product.

You need to wind the clock back. Why did the loan agency authorize granting such a risky loan?

It's not only the student who made the poor financial choice. The government chose to back that loan, and the government chose to make it harder to discharge that debt, and the government chose to provide loans to students attending for-profit colleges, which have a higher rate of student defaults.

> but LISP code is not LISP data

well, that's obviously wrong. There are so many examples where LISP code is LISP data. It's also just one example, a code for a theorem prover can also be LISP data. The whole idea of LISP is to be able to write interpreters, code transformations, rule engines, compilers as LISP applications which process code in the form of lists.

The idea of being a LIST PROCESSOR is not an implementation detail, it is the core essence of LISP.

Ask HN: How to have one feed for many blog websites

Sure, but I can love best when I have a commitment and a strong sense of responsibility. The object of my affection feels loved when they feel secure and supported, when they can plan for the future without hedging their bets.

I signed a 12-mo lease with my landlady, but they included a clause to let me out easily. Yet, my commitment to them runs deeper than that, and my community ties are strong. I realized how little I would gain by packing up and moving somewhere else, and how much would be lost, not only me but all my neighbors. Why wouldn't I sign a 5-year lease?

All that paperwork we signed does indeed make us happy, because it signifies our commitment to each other, and the regulation and laws that make this a safe and secure living arrangement. Without a lease, I'd be a squatter and the constable shows up. Without the lease, they have no responsibility to fix my appliances or respond to a damage report. The legal technicalities make a lot of difference here!

If a love relationship costs you nothing and has no commitment or responsibilities, then it's worth exactly as much as you paid for it.

Anecdote: had an 8086 system-call jump table that fielded up to 64K calls, but using a jump table of 4K. Address mode was segment:offset where segment was 17 bits and offset 16, but shifted by 4. The table consisted of the same trap instruction throughout, which took 4 bytes. If I remember it all right.

Anyway the system call trap examined the caller stack, found the return address (to the trap table), picked out the combination of segment and offset used to construct a system-call index. Following so far?

We went paged. Changed syscall segment to indirect, 16 segment descriptors all mapped to the start of the jump table. Started failing on one particular system call out of thousands - it would page fault! Why?

The auto-increment and prefetch of the trap opcode in the jump table would fault, for only one syscall, the one that mapped to the last entry in the trap table where the offset came out to 0FFC. Wrapped to 1000, which with that particular segment meant next-page! Which was unmapped (system trap table was in low memory, alone).

My solution: change the syscall index for that operation to something else, and document in the syscall comments to never use it.
that’s what this brand is doing:

Oxide: Key Concepts
If I understand correctly, goroutines = asyncio (non-invasive) + asyncio.to_thread (when needed, but automatic). So, it is still cooperative concurrency that feels preemptive due to its design. This Go capability is interesting, and it 'seems' that it cannot be replicated without some integration with the runtime of the target language, i.e., a 'baked-in solution'. For now, I'm fine with true preemptive concurrency, but this might change in the future.

1. Pre-product - I can help you turn an idea into a reality by trimming the scope to the essential and then designing, developing, and deploying a product.

2. Early traction - if your product is gaining traction then I can help you focus on the business by taking care of engineering: setting up infrastructure, processes, development practices, and leading product and engineering efforts.

3. Mature product - I can help you lead and contribute to complex technical initiatives behind mature products: legacy technologies and code bases, poor code quality and understandability, overstretched architecture.
