the visited site won't have the info. but someone in the chain will definitely know your identity. the government, private contractors.

It's a solution only at a superficial level, regarding wealth redistribution. It's just very hard to leave the social class you're born in. Not everyone is doomed by it, far from it, but not enough to consider it a solved problem.

Heck, it's not even considered a problem when your family is wealthy.

Currently, having LLM feeding on its own output repeatedly is the fastest way to get it hallucinate.

software development has always been about replacing jobs. if we now do it to ourselves and not just other people, maybe there's finally some kind of fairness in the game.

Sometimes things are so obvious to me I don't even think they'd be worthy of a discussion. But this is one of my blind spots, as I've come to realize over many years.

For development, I've always been happy with a 13" screen and nothing else. Not only that, but having all apps in full screen. It brings so much clarity to my mind. Exceptions (because f*ck dogma, right?) have been when I was in charge of monitoring some long-running process, in which case a secondary screen in vertical layout was very useful. Another one was for music making with Ableton Live: 2 screens was much more practical, independently of each individual screen size.

Just because of the setups I've just described, I've been looked at weird, or asked way too much questions. go figure.

I mean... I've consistently seen people chewing with their mouth open, talking while chewing, biting their fork, and so many others, just in occidental places, and it didn't seem to bother anyone but me. so, why would it be different in Japan?

I get why you'd bring these points up. I mean, really, they could make sense. but both "green" and "tourist" points don't line up at all.

to cut short lengthy arguments, just compare urbanism rules in the US and in the EU. the 4, 5, or idk 8 lanes roads you can find in some parts of the US with the at mot 3 lane (paid) highways.

it all comes down to "if you make more room for cars, there will be more cars". if you refuse to cave in for this and you actually provide alternative ways of transportation (bus, bikes, subway if realistic, etc etc), then the overall traffic becomes much smoother. only complaints never cease, but that isn't specific to "moving people around".

I think it's to avoid having two sets of data points. I think the "view angle" affects the "convex amount" so that edge-view = flat and all other viewing angles "bump" the data points a little bit to give the "convex" look.

This is the most relevant use of `to_s` in this class indeed. One could imagine additional methods like:

    def bump_minor
      self.class.new(major, minor + 1, patch)
    end

Reading this altered my consciousness to the point I thought for an instant that I was back on 4chan or something.

Everyone experiences some symptoms of ADHD, ASD, etc. A genuine diagnostic is given when these symptoms become a big problem for daily life, work, social stuff, etc.

It has been established already that crows remember human faces for years, that they mourn, and that they attack people they associate with the death of their mates (while being quite friendly with other people they know well).

Things like this are actually done for very valid reasons, but these easter eggs are a really neat way to do it.

The reason? making an accurate map from a territory is (or used to be) difficult and takes time. Introducing fictional stuff in a map is a way to:

- figure out which of your cartographer competitors are copying you

- bring the case to court (factual data isn't protected by copyright, fictional data is).

Even Google Maps add a few fictional elements, but they're much more boring, like adding ghost streets in rural areas.

I did not intent to advocate for any solution (drug-based of otherwise), just tried to say that ADHD covers a wide spectrum of situations.

Some won't be able to "hack" their brain for motivation (which, btw, comes from doing something in the first place), some will. Some will react well do medication (compounds, amounts…), some others won't. There is also CBT.

* ADHD doesn't mean you can hop from X to Y to Z superfast/efficiently while remembering anything meaningful.

* Hyperfocus isn't a spell you can cast at whatever task at hand. It happens only when you're really into a given topic... And ADHD tends to push you to procrastinate on things you like a lot: you end-up in hyper-procrastination mode.

Above points can be used to your advantage with great benefit, but it's not automatic. Some people with ADHD compensate intuitively and do impressive stuff, others need medication just to get out of bed. Both of these extremes can be the same person at different times.

"Berlin clubs are closing soon!" has been, for a long time, a staple of journalists desperate to get some views. They just play on readers' emotions.

For a while the pretext was "neighbors are complaining about noise", but that got yanked by new regulations (i.e. making clubs "places of high culture" so they can't be attacked easily).

Now it's about declining revenue, yet clubs are still full. What will be next?

So basically you're advocating for a keto diet for everyone and every time? That's silly. Carbs are not intrinsically bad.

Also, all sugars are carbs but all carbs aren't sugar. Don't take shortcuts.

It was designed by committee, but as long as the original author was involved he had a veto right and he used it very often, which alleviated the "committee" effect.

Baguettes "tradition" can only contain 3 ingredients (flour, water, yeast) so their quality matter, yes, but the preparation is what makes it all: how it's mixed, how long it rests, at what temperature, how the flour/water ratio changes through the process, etc. that dictate what the end result will be. It can take 10 years for a baker to master the process.

I completely agree, even more so with 1. Do not skip or shorten 1. Force yourself NOT to code during 1.

Laws around cryptocurrencies vary widely between countries. In a good chunk of them, while not considered to be "money", bitcoins are viewed as "digital assets" (that you maybe have to report for taxes) and as such theft laws fully apply (but of course the thief still has to be found and not be on the other side of the world...)

Or about movies! Although, to be fair, a similar mindset creeps in that field too: it ceases to be art, or moving stories, or mind-changing ideas from movie makers. Now it's all about content, and how much it is consumed.

I don't have data or facts to share, but I have a strong gut feeling that people who consider art (in a very broad meaning, including entertainment, games, music, etc) to be a commodity are not only missing out, they make the world a worst place to live in.

Not exactly true, at least from what I read elsewhere [1].

The plan is to make Paris 100% cyclaBLE.

It must be available somewhere, in order to satisfy the rule 34.

Ruby is hell to implement. To quote Matz:

Ruby is simple in appearance, but is very complex inside, just like our human body

Can't you achieve the same result with a family subscription?

15 months or years?

currently it's about the "master/slave" dichotomy, not about "master" in the "skill mastery" sense.

I think you're on something though. There will be no end.

Don't give everyone the secrets! ;)

Joking appart, my question wasn't to learn about drug prices for "practical use". I just think it's an interesting subject: how the web changes underground/illegal markets, what impact it has, etc.

There are lots of counterintuitive things in that field (look at how Portugal handles it), which makes it even more interesting to me. "war on drugs vs war on drug users".

How can you build a dark web price index and not mention drugs at all?
