Great, now do psilocybin, LSD and MDMA.

As Terence McKenna used to say, caffeine is legal because it keeps the worker bees working throughout the afternoon.

It's hard to know where to start when someone espouses this mentality, but I suggest you start with looking up a chart of addiction VS harm for different substances, you might be in for a surprise.

Well, the brain is a heavily vascularized organ. Proper sleep and exercise are both crucial for cleaning up waste products, and supplying nutrients and good blood flow.

Yes. For those wanting to research this further look up keywords like "metabolic psychiatry" and "brain energy".

I'm convinced brain health *is* mental health. With more nuance, mental health is brain health accreted through time. Healing the brain is possible, mainstream medicine and psychiatry is entirely ignorant of this, and once the brain is

Sure, but I can't use an X220 anymore. Man I soooo wish I could have a laptop with the hardware of the Mac and the keyboard of an old ThinkPad (with better aesthetics). Unfortunately, not so many people seem to want this.

Fair, to me being able to ctrl-z to a shell, open quickly, be absolutely snappy at all times, etc. is paramount to the Vim experience. VSCode has nothing on Vim with a good LSP config, granted, it can be overwhelming for beginners, but it&

Arrow keys suck so much on most laptops, that I do everything to avoid them, I use Vim mode plugins in my browsers. There's even a global Vi mode available for macOS, I'm sure something similar is possible on Windows with autohotk

I never use number prefixes. I'm on a keyboard layout where I have to press shift to get numbers, and as you say it's unergonomic. Jumping to characters with f or t and word jumps at much more useful. Searches for more distant thi

You do use LSP don't you? There's refactoring tools there, I really fail to see how Neo/Vim is lacking in this regard. Sure, it requires some deeper understanding and setup, but that is the Vim way. For people that do not wan

Me neither. Mocking Nix is the new mocking "I use Arch BTW" but when you're deep in it you realize it absolutely is the way, and if it's not Nix or Nix in some more evolved form it will be something very close to it.

I agree but staying in neovim and using search / or ? IMO relative numbers for navigation are not the Vi way. The Vi way, is, as you say, mindless. People who say you're not faster with Vim (untrue anyway) or it doesn't matte

Neovim has plenty of IDE stuff! What do I gain using a horribly bloated Electron app. Maybe there's an argument when you're working in a group that standardized on VSCode. But Neovim is quite popular these days. I've used the

I never understood relative numbers. To really grok Vi you have to understand that you should minimize steps and looking at the relative line number and typing it in is not ergonomic, it's better to search most often, absolute line num

Semantic stuff like refactoring is done through LSP.

Surely the ethics are more complicated then just following robots.txt or not. The intended usage counts, and that isn't captured in robots.txt.

There's nothing more restrictive than being chronically mentally ill. The modern diet is so horribly misaligned with our biology, when you've been to the extreme of its consequences, there is no urge to rejoin with the crowd. Just

Between adblockers and YouTube Premium, I haven't seen an ad in ages. Ads are to me mythical creatures I hear about, mostly on HN (amusingly enough). One of these days I'll take a quick dive into a regular ad experience, like a so

That's cool but Nix/OS does much more than declarative package installs.

Seed oil avoidance is right-wing coded, it's undeniable. To be clear, a segment of the online right-wing, I'm not saying literally half the population.

Soybean oil is mentioned in the study. A lot of people get very angry when seed oil dangers are mentioned, it's hilariously politicized, the fact is these are not lindy at all, there is no tradition that would validate their safety, th

See edit, it's indeed a factor of both fatty acid makeup and smoke point. Seed oils tend to have more PUFAs which oxidize easily. Olive oil, on the contrary, is not only mostly monounsaturated but also contains anti oxidant compounds t

Seed oils mainly, a factor of the lower smoke point. The only suitable plant oils in this regard are olive and coconut oil - which are fruit oils. [edit] seed oils r bad skeptics can just double check - the top 3 highest smoke point oils ar
