it seems logical that a serum concentration of CBD would synergize with THC, in a manner congruent to smoking a strain of similar THC:CBD ratio.
Just checking for updates is fine, actually installing every single firmware versions is bad.

This is because embedded firmware are less moving parts more tightly packed, which makes their failure modes inevitably catastrophic; they're incapable of progressively degrading like Electron apps, but the whole system always spontaneously crash into the wall and die from just one typo, and you don't want that.

Having borrowed a camper van with a nicely decorated wood interior, I can appreciate the need for lightweight. This one still had stock suspension, tires and engine designed for an empty cargo van, but it carried hundreds of lbs of hardwood cabinets. Beautiful, but totally impractical for making it up and down mountain passes in Colorado. At one point we were going 35 mph holding up a mile of traffic.
The insane stability of the Linux ABI is partially what makes containers useful.

The fact that containers can reliably depend on the ABI contract, thus placing almost any clib they wish they want inside the container is fairly unique.

That extreme stability of that contract is awesome for namespace decoupling. Unfortunately Apple and Microsoft do not have such stable interfaces.

Remember containers are just namespaces.

You keep misreading things. First, you thought that people said that people who are committing crimes should wear body cams. Now you think I said that everybody in public should expect to be filmed. Neither of those things are true.

I got a set of Fairbuds XL at work because it made sense to buy something that could last a long time and be repaired and I really wanted to support Fairphone's basic premise — repairable gadgets with long support. Here's my experience with them that nobody asked for.

First of all, the sound is fine. Nothing exceptional but certainly not bad. I'd say they compare pretty well to my Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro (80 Ohm) or my old Sennheiser Urbanite XL. They also sit pretty well on my head for extended periods of time, which is nice, but will obviously vary from person to person. They don't have any fancy Teams-integration, which is a plus for me but a deal-breaker to others. They hold battery very well. I haven't tested it in depth but I've used them for maybe 3 full workdays without charging them, so maybe around 24 hours of active use and they still had some juice left.

But the firmware... What a disappointment. The headphones have 3 settings, ANC, ambient and "normal". I personally prefer "normal" but the headphones don't remember the setting across restarts, so every time I turn them on I have to sit through the boot sound (because system sounds can't be interrupted), wait for the audio feedback to finish saying "connected", and if a second device is connected, "second device connected", then click a physical button, wait for it to finish saying "ambient sounds", and finally click a third time to hear it say: "noise cancelling off", and _then_ I can start using them. It's OK the first 5-10 times but then it just gets really, really annoying.

I went to their forums about a year ago to suggest it as a feature but learned that Fairphone actually don't interact with the forums, it's just user-to-user interaction, so suggestions don't really make it further from there. That's fair, so I contacted their support about it instead. They suggested that I contact the store that my workplace bought the headphones from. (I didn't think that was really going to solve the issue, so I chose to just ignore that.)
They've released 2 firmware updates since then, but no storing mode across reboots. They did however manage to glitch out the boot sound in one firmware update, so it played 2/3 of the audio only to interrupt itself and play the second half of the sound again. The last firmware update fixed that at least.

And before someone suggests that there might be no place to store aforementioned setting, they can store bluetooth pairings and EQ presets on the headphones. The noise cancellation preference could be stored in less than a byte. Unfortunately the firmware isn't OSS so I can't even fix it myself.

Yes, a Lisp program can potentially contain arbitrary lists.

It can directly contain arbitary lists or other objects as quoted literals.

It can use macros to create arbitrary syntax, which is then used.

(In mainstream dialects, macros cannot turn an arbitrary list into a form; it has to start with a symbol, after which it can be anything.)
The context in which it was suggested was edibles, not smoking or vaping.

And was given to me as a reason why the edibles I had tried that one time made me hallucinate that everything was blue.

The studies I've seen found that there was a real link, but it was for people who were genetically predisposed to develop schizophrenia.

As a result, if you have a family history of schizophrenia, you'd be better off abstaining.

The scare story bit was that just because there was a real link found in people who were genetically predisposed to develop schizophrenia, the same level of danger applied to everyone else.

> What if your daughter stopped loving you, and cut you out of her life? Is she free to do so?

Age permitting, of course she is. One would have to be a tyrant to think otherwise imo.
My understand is that a person may have innate schizophrenia and it is currently inactive or non-negative experience. Some people will go their who life without it becoming active or negatively impacting and live just fine. While it may become active or negatively impacting for a person because of a physical injury, drugs, or physiological event.

More complex than the simple idea that cannabis will give you schizophrenia. But people prefer simplistic ideas over complex ones. Similar to how "smoking gives you cancer" where in reality it continually increases the chance of developing cancer, treatable or terminal, with persistent usage.

> but at a minimum any service that wants business customers will have accounts in some form.

I mean, that's just not true. Plenty of successful and widely used businesses out there provide a single account/password for their service at a client company, rather than for each human user at that client company. It's a common pattern even if you think it shouldn't be. And yes they are designed for businsses and have business customers.

For a lot of products, it's just not conceptually necessary to have multiple users for an account, i.e. support for "teams". It's a convenience that might be on the roadmap and might get done eventually, or not at all. Especially because supporting complex sets of user credentials can be a major project, which means another important feature doesn't get done instead.
I agree, the light weight and parameterizability is really cool.

The aesthetics are absolutely not for me. I'd also be curious about the materials. Most wood blends are PLA based, which would not survive the southern california heat.
See my other comment too, but I agree. Rocks and lightning aren't conscious of anything, because they have no state that represents anything. Amoeba are conscious of some things, because they have state that represents a tiny slice of the world. Cats are conscious of much more, then LLMs and humans in turn.

It's not about animate vs inanimate, it's about models that represent something.

There's also some confusion because we have limited language here. A person can be "unconscious", but that doesn't mean they've lost their world model. It's just currently not executing.

Hylo: The Safe Systems and Generic-Programming Language Built on Value Semantics [video]
Marriage is sort of like adoption because you're given a new family. It's different from adoption because you get to keep your existing family.

Successful married couples are investing in an internal social network: offspring and extended family. If this network can meet their needs then they have less reason to go outside of it.

Childbearing families are going to encounter other parents and their social network will change accordingly. Play dates, day care, school parents and extracurricular groups will be in their orbit now.

Conversely, single people may rely on their own families for social support, and they may not need to go outside of that, either. Woe betide the single person whose family is unsupportive, because friends and acquaintances are a faint substitute. Such a person could develop ties with their employer, professional orgs, non-profits and community to stay sane and healthy. Or they don't--there are plenty of dysfunctional singles who don't need a marriage in order to suffer and fail at life.

This has not been my experience at all.

Onset is delayed and often unpredictably so (for me, 30 to 120 mins is the typical range).

Actual effects vary based on what I’ve eaten, how much I ate, how recently I ate it.

I’ve had edibles that did almost nothing. I’ve had edibles that were still clearly working when I woke up the next morning.

I’m not saying it’s impossible to experience consistency, but not everyone does.

> An arbitrary list is not a valid LISP expression

In Common Lisp terms, an arbitrary list is a valid expression, but not necessarily a valid form. A form is an expression that occurs in a context where it is presented for evaluation.
> - You can force 2FA, again for every service the company is using that supports SSO.

This can also be a way to balance security and user convenience, which should not be underestimated.

If a user has to do the MFA dance (Duo Pushes, TOTP tokens, ...) once a day for a dozen different services, users will rightfully riot and start looking for workarounds of questionable security. On the other hand, you could have one MFA dance in the morning to get your keycloak session, it is kept alive by normal usage and then it doesn't bother you anymore for the day. Much lower friction.

Another thing is auditing and analysis. With central logins, you need one service with good audit logging, and you need to understand and alert on one log if a user suddenly tries to login from another continent, hundreds of times a minute. Some of these services have this built-in.

The Reuters article says:

> "The decision to freeze Starlink's accounts stems from a separate dispute over unpaid fines X was ordered to pay due to its failure to turn over some documents."

This is deliberately misleading. The dispute stems from X having revealed a history of the government of Brazil demanding it censor and deanonymize political opponents and people alleging corruption, and refusing to continue doing so.
Yeah, I added a comment on that post too
I think depression can lead to apathy, anhedonia, even nihilism but having that as an origin point for depression seems quite out of place.

The last sentence of your main paragraph is the reason for my username. It’s certainly not the origin point for that feeling, however.

It isn’t fun to realize that everything you touch within your own lifetime is temporary. Work is largely meaningless. Abusive partners, officials getting away with clear (attempted) murder because they can hide behind a piece of paper, and so on.

Sure life is “unfair”, but it is unfair for the vast majority due to it being stacked for the vanishingly tiny minority. And the majority is powerless to stop the abuses.

Why bother?

My strongest recommendation for "Homage to Catalonia", Orwell's book about his involvement in the Spanish Civil war. It's not a history, it's just the story of what happened to him. This is before he wrote Animal Farm or 1984. But you can see how his views were formed.
Oh well, guess there's nothing you can learn from it then
I wrote ZKPs off as hype ~2 years ago - is it a legit concept outside blockchain marketing? Someone help me understand how it's different from hashes and access tokens?

> "Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) are a method for one party to cryptographically prove to another that they possess knowledge about a piece of information without revealing the actual underlying information."

So, like this?

1. An app needs to confirm a user login is correct

2. But the app can't know the user's password because it's a secret

3. So the app instead checks for a hash which only the correct password would translate into

4. Now the user can enter their password, and the app can verify the password is correct without actually knowing it

What am I missing?

I think it's your bias through third hand accounts instead of reality, have you ever worked at any of the famous tech companies?

Finance is a completely different beast, and even there many of the big ones don't overwork their employees with 60+ hours/week.
Density of PETG (a reasonably durable and temperature-resistant plastic that's much easier to work with than ABS or nylon) is around 1.25 g/cm3 IIRC. Compare that to wood (pine at around 0.4 ~ 0.5 g/cm3 or maple (~0.7 g/cm3).

For the plastic structures to be sturdy, they have to be printed with significant infill, or at least painstakingly designed incorporating familiar structural elements (triangles, i-beams, gussets etc) at 100% infill -- in either case, making them as heavy or heavier than a comparable wood structure. I doubt the "lightweight" claim here.

I get the "throw robots at the problem" idea, but you could similarly automate the process with CNC machines and thin wood panels. I have some experience in working with both types of materials, and in most cases, design turns out to be the most challenging and time-consuming part.
What illegal actions? I did some research instead of blindly following our so-called genius who claims it's against Brazilian constitutional law because Starlink is a separate entity. It actually appears to be perfectly legal and in line with the law.

"However, Brazilian law, specifically the Civil Code and the Consumer Defense Code, includes a mechanism known as "desconsideração da personalidade jurídica" (piercing the corporate veil). This legal principle allows courts to disregard the separate legal personality of a company in cases where there is evidence of fraud, misuse of the corporate form, or abuse of rights.

If an owner uses multiple companies in a way that is fraudulent or meant to evade the law, the courts can "pierce the corporate veil" and hold the owner and their other companies liable. This means that if there is a proven link between the misconduct in Company A and other companies owned by the same person, those other companies could potentially be affected."
Unfortunately if you ask "Hey what distro should I use" some of the responses will be things like Manjaro.

Even Mint wasn't 100% fiddling free last time I tried, anything using traditional package management is never going to be reliable as far as I can tell.

Expecting a dozen modern apps updated constantly with 100 overlapping dependencies each to not have conflicts seems completely insane.

The whole idea came from the era of systems maintained by hand over time, sometimes with things compiled from source, mostly using simple CLI software.
I'm pretty sure crowdstrike and its competitors can slow down any computer regardless of the OS to the point of uselessness.
