I regularly consume MDMA with my best friend (two or three or four times a year) and during these day-long trips, we discuss a wide range of problems we're having with our personal programming projects. Not every problem is solved in t

As an infantry veteran with multiple combat tours behind me, I have to say that psychedelics (and mushrooms in particular) are the one of the strongest forces grounding me to reality and bringing calm to my everyday life. You may be right t

I had a rather long career in the military doing a huge variety of things, primarily with physical security. We were pretty good at our jobs (the US is generally militarily good at its job), but there were regular security lapses that would

Speaking from experience, though, if you look and act the part, you can get by with a similar amount of SE effort in contractor facilities and/or military bases. I'm not talking about Boeing's skunkworks or Groom Lake, but de

Excellent wisdom. I love coming across quotes which quantify intuition.

This is an incredibly insightful comment that I think many, many people don't see when trying to explain certain phenomena in the business world.

Your attitude is exactly the problem. "Shut up and do what I say" is exactly what systemd is about.

Yes. My spidey sense has been tingling about a Debian fork, given the facts mentioned on the link, consistent problems with at least one of Lennart Poettering's previous projects (pulseaudio), and the strong likelihood that politics pl

Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case where it's most needed. For example with systemd, after having written the awful pulseaudio, you'd think Lennart would not be able throw any weight around even at Red Hat.

I feel the same way about a lot of the things he's written since his essay about hackers. I'm glad to see others feel the same way.

I interviewed there some time ago. I saw the internal system they're talking about, and the attitude there indeed is that they're tracking users (specifically their locations, timestamps and previous posts, but they are able to di

Disclaimer: I've been in some pretty intense situations in my life. At some point, no amount of VR can get past "this is not real". I suspect you would need something that supercedes the psychological barriers in place which

It's really unfortunate that all open source discussions don't go like the discussion I just read between the two of you. It sure would be nice if that were the case.

While I tend to agree, you can't spray your fields with nuclear energy (or solar, or wind, or whatever). Oil plays an enormously fundamental role across a broad spectrum of uses in our civilization.

These are very brave words for and by an industry that is still using primary and secondary methods for extraction. Primary means the pressure is high enough that it literally shoots out of the ground. That's pretty easy oil. Secondary

Maybe it's my own history and previous life path, but starting a business with a best friend has been one of the mots natural and fun things I've ever done. There are obstacles, and I'm sure the road is rough going for a lot

This is a similar idea to something I've been working on for quite a long time (since June of last year, actually)[1]. I have experience with graph-generating software used by Five Eyes governments to map relationships, and I've b

FWIW, I have heard recommendations for this book as well. Actually, it was recommended to me by my good friend and former commanding officer, whom I consider to be the best officer I've ever served with.

I really hope that this MDMA-assisted psychotherapy study shows similar results to the one conducted in Switzerland and that you have the option to use MDMA to help you overcome this condition with the good support network you have in your

I want to remain as unbiased as possible, but I am also enormously excited about the so-far-promising results. This simple and beautiful substance may go a long way in solving the problems my peers are facing, whether we went to war in Iraq
