The most reasonable conculsion (though tentative) seems to be that SSRI and the more "traditional" option may help some, while psychedelics may help others. (And we have to imagine other drugs in the future will be found.) The tri

To borrow from Samuel Johnson, it's worth having read, but not worth reading.

To counterbalance your anecdote this is not among my friends and family. We swap books regularly and enjoy the recommendations. Of the prior 10 books I read all came from friend recommendation, and I enjoyed each one.

I was thinking could use abbrevs but it must expand word chars, not spaces.

Why are you using `string=` to compare symbols?

Surely it would be better to use a purpose-built "long space" character, as would be done in typesetting. Em Space U+2003 might be a good candidate.

I can offer that I am constantly online and using Kagi across my devices for all searches and so far have not come close to using up my quota.

Personally privacy is a strong concern for me; I have many aspects of my digital life set up less conveniently in exchange for privacy. In this case though we've have on one hand a product that definitely does aggregate data about se

As a technical person the thing I hope for most is that my direct manager does not try to get involved in technical topics. They need to understand the nature of the labor of course, but they do not need to be thinking about which DB we use

It's a nice release. Headliners aside, a lot of little improvements that make a big difference. `mouse-drag-and-drop-region-cross-program` and `dnd-indicate-insertion-point` might be my favorites that category. Making dragging text int

There's no inherent reason it must be a profit-making business. Organizeing as a cooperative, mutual insurance is also an option. Granted that any version still must set rates that cover expected payouts.

They seem to be specifically referring to the compiler error (as in, prevents compilation) for unused local variables. See discussion here: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/335#issuecomment-10011...

The part that's often missed is the future outcome, when someone returns to this code to fix a bug or add a new feature. I believe it's incumbent upon those of us with some experience to ensure maintainability is part of the con

I do agree that "social media is uniformly bad" is too broad a stroke. That said, humans aren't exactly the best at discriminating something that feels good from being unhealthy or at least unproductive.

Has anyone explored using a technique like a Bloom filter or partial hash matching (like haveibeenpwned does) as a preliminary step for CRL lookups? You could do a cheap initial query, and if you get a negative, you're good. You only h

I generally appreciate TechDirt but this is a very weak argument, the logic is inverted. That some people who are opposed to LLMs were wrong to attack a tool that has nothing to do with LLMs does not allow us to conclude they are wrong ab

Right, but again, you can do exactly that with breakpoints (especially if they can print and then auto-continue), and you can change your output, adding or disabling them while still running.

Interesting. This probably varies by tech stack, but in my experience debugging concurrent/async stuff is where I will actually lean away from the debugger for fear of that kind of timing skew.
