This happened to a friend of mine. He does heroin recreationally and isn't addicted and doesn't get withdrawal symptoms. The court mandated he go to treatment and was basically required to take buprenorphine during treatment regar

I'm not a cyclist, but I'm a huge fan of having these on bikes. They've become more popular in my area and because of that you notice the bicycles earlier so you have a much smaller chance of accidentally hitting them because

It won't make life on earth's surface impossible. At worst everything largish (plus some other stuff) will die off and open up the environment to new life (maybe a new cephalopod world order?). Remember, all of this CO2 was once i

I remember seeing Boeing's simulator at their factory in the early 2000's that was powered by a room filled with SGI machines running the graphics, controlling the hydraulics, and lying to the avionics. It totally blew me away.

Yes, however, I haven't yet heard of a case where someone's been imprisoned for that long yet. I don't follow it super closely, though, and I would't be surprised if someone was.

I don't see how this conception of personalized medicine would work. For many drugs, the binding sites aren't terribly different or different at all between individuals. I can see this being different for larger populations. More

There is some evidence that there might be a genetic component to some drug misuse disorders. Specifically, I know that there's been some research done with nicotine here (either out of Columbia or Radboud, don't really remember).

For AmigaOS proper, you'll need emulation. You can run AROS on just run of the mill x86 hardware, though, which is a pretty good alternative. It's source compatible with AmigaOS, and there's an Amiga emulator that lets you ru

Yeah the torque is probably the reason. From experience, if you stand on your brakes and throttle to take off power then let go your take off performance is better. It's part of the short field take off procedure.

It probably did, but the pilot didn't have time to do the engine restart procedure. Also when something like this happens if there's only you flying the plane you need to prioritize getting on the ground. In a plane, depending on

He's not totally wrong here. The "IMU" you're using consists of a fix, clock, compass, and airspeed indicator (in my case). You're doing the same basic stuff that inertial guidance would do but slower and with less

There are no new tractors that aren't DRMed if they don't have electronics. Hell, it's even hard to get service documents. Talking about consumer responsibility is great and all, too, but there is no choice so it doesn't

My family doesn't farm but we used to and we still own a business where we use these tractors. The older tractors are much better for us because they're simple and quickly debuggable. I can get our Oliver Rowcrop 77 back up and ru

I think some of the reason the BSDs are moving away from it is no one uses it much and no one really maintains it. It just never got the traction on BSD like it did Linux. procfs should just be the place to get information on and fiddle wit

Yeah there's a couple of different groups that still use/admire/say they use Plan 9. There's the /g/ guys that seem to have a perennial interest in it for whatever reason, the cat-v.org/9front guys (of whi

Honestly its not so bad over a bad cell connection as long as latency isn't extreme. I've found that throughput isn't a huge issue, but latency is a killer.

Wasn't that brucee's gig for a while? I remember they had written a windows 9p client which is hen's teeth now, but I remember it working well.

I use 9front mostly because it's a nice place to live. Most of the stuff I do doesn't run on Plan 9, but I to the development on a 9front system. Compared to FreeBSD (I don't have much Linux experience) the system is simpler

No it's both a server and a desktop OS. The architecture semi-requires the ability to be both cooked in. In my usecase I have my terminals which are desktops that boot off of my main fileserver.

No, this isn't clever at all. Its an optimization for when you need to write a lot of little utilities that need to parse arguments. It probably came out of a day of writing tools, and after the fifth time of rewriting that while/

I don't know if this is my conservatism speaking or not, but one problem I see with this approach is that you wouldn't learn as much because more batteries are included. Having to implement more than just a kernel (like the standa

Which doesn't help at all when you hit wake on final. Chutes take a surprisingly long time to grab the air and slow you down.

This is exactly how I work on 9front. All my compiles and computationally heavy stuff gets done on my loud cpu/fs server, while I can use my raspberry pi (or quite old thinkpad when I'm not at my desk) as the terminal and not hav

I don't see how practical it is as a trainer though. At least when I was learning, those planes wouldn't get much if any downtime. You will still need more time to charge than it does to just throw some avgas in the plane. Also it

Well on pressurized aircraft the cargo areas are generally inside the pressure vessel so temperatures will be similar to the passenger areas. Also the batteries will be producing heat when in use, so I would imagine cooling would be a bigge

Also trains don't change speed super often so they can have their prime mover running in the power band all of the time. A car changes speed at lot so its more inefficient to have the prime mover running in its power band constantly to

I'm not too far out of high school (graduated in 2011) and I used an HP-50g. Most people when I was there used a TI-83/84 derivative and occasionally the TI Inspire. The hardcore used a Ti-89 or an HP-48/49/50 series.

Same here. After my Amiga died I wanted to move to emulation, but I found a lot of my disks had died (I had moved to WHDload years before this so they haven't been used in a long time) and I was heart broken. A friend told me about Kry

Airline passengers don't generally care about it being safer on average. If the autopilot can't make a landing in a 30 kt crosswind all of the time people won't fly on that plane. People have much higher standards for accep
