It’s illegal in Germany since last year I think. But there is a new one 1P-a LSD (or something like that) which is supposed to be legal.

As someone who dropped out of a PhD program: the most important metric is the drop out rate for the research group you are in. If you can get it for your thesis advisor, it's even better. There are people who see all graduate students

This is called 'End User Development' or 'End user Programming'. There is a book called 'A Small Matter of Programming' by Bonnie Nardi on this, which is worth a read. My point of view is that everyone who want

Exactly. Most of the time, the problem is not to find out what people want and put it into software. The problem is to help people in the process of discovering what they want and what can be done. After that, development can begin.

I'm building a TornadoFX app with Kotlin now and it also starts in about a second. Also there is FXLauncher ( https://github.com/edvin/fxlauncher ) which provides a native package and an auto updater for macOS, Wi

Exactly. I was always interested in all this semantic web stuff and as I have time now, I'm experimenting with Apache Jena. It's super neat! SPARQL endpoints use HTTP per default. "API for free" so to say. Plus you can e

SAP committed itself to oData. With Fiori Elements you can generate UIs from oData endpoints. Their super crappy frontend framework UI5 also integrates with it quite strongly.

The German Wikipedia would be twice as big if mods weren’t obsessed with some made up criteria of relevance.

“The internet” has short memory, but not that short. She should have waited at least half a year.

NodeRed. I’m pretty good at it by now. We use it in our hackspace for home automation and at work for prototypes.

I tried something like that in 2016 with Javascript. I parsed the source code and put every AST node on IPFS and linked it to the other node using the hashes. The problem was that this is a _lot_ of overhead...

CCC has not become a political organization, it always was. It was founded at the left-wing newspaper Taz and always had political goals. It‘s also quite interesting that american hacker conferences are all right wing and have strong ties w

Strokes are _very_ common. It‘s the third most common cause for death (or something in that ballpark). A lot of the leading figures in psychedelics lived long lives. Incidentally, Alexander Shulgin also died at 88. Albert Hoffman lived to 1

I think that's a matter of attitude. You are more risk averse then OP. My hypothesis is that programmers tend to be rule followers because programming is "making up rules for computers".

In the nature vs nurture debate, every time someone argues for all nature or all nurture it’s an ideological position. That biology has no influence on behavior is as absurd as that society has none. The division into nature and nurture is

Node-Red is a visual programming language and it is a joy to use.

Exactly. I bet there will be ‘upvote cartels’ where people agree to upvote each other and downvote everyone else to get ahead. A game theoretic analysis of this would be interesting.

The god of the old testament is morally ambiguous too. The christians defined the evil aspects away and made humanity responsible for all evil in the world.

There are some risks, but they have been vastly overstated. I think the media has been irresponsible in publishing scare stories and misinformation about most drugs. How many lives could have been saved if people with treatment resistant de

I think that’s a very good rule. All these drugs are tools for self exploration and spirituality. MDMA is great for deepening the connection with your partner. (The others are too, to a lesser extend.) I would also add DMT and 2CB to that l

I think avoiding deep class hirarchies is an accepted best practice nowadays. In academia, people still don’t know it (I left in 2017) but it is accepted by everyone I talk to nowadays. I do not use any implementation inheritance anymore, o
