The key difference is: do you go there to hook up, or do you go there because you like the place, which as a second order effect is great common ground to meeting someone?

Putting stickers onto phones, kicking out violators and fostering a culture around that does miracles to that kind of behavior. Once a majority enjoyes the moment and is very openly pissed off by any kind of filming we go back to being ours

I've never seen a fight at a club. At this one big (80k) festival in northeast lake region Germany neither. In my experience, fighting and aggression are caused mainly by, in decreasing order of importance, alcohol, cocaine, crammed+ov

You're both wrong about raves not being great sober, and the latent prejudice against "drugs". Source, I went to many raves sober, and I work in psycare on them (psychiatric ambulance of sorts). For a festival that's pro

How so? I saw a few vids about EDC and quite frankly it looked worse than tomorrowland (like, reminds me of mobile games patterns), quite the feat. Burning Man has a reputation, and it's definitely not a sharing economy to get there. I

It's how all cool underground things go. Small groups build something new and awesome, new people come and join, the culture shifts, and at some point money is made, and the culture drifts off into a business. Very few places resist th

It’s fear-mongering, broad and unfounded generalization. It’s a edgelord comment that serves no useful discussion. It’s not what HN is for, and downvoting is the way to show this.

Not sure why the article has to mention monads? I mean there’s the (mathematically correct) joke that »monads are monoids in the category of endofunctors«, but understanding that requires getting elbow deep into category theory, and if you’

A combinator is just a term without free variables. All the rules can be put as combinators, it’s just that they don’t have common names like SKICB(…).

Can you explain the mistake (of people taking the standardized tests)? I don't understand it from the message, and the Wikipedia article seems to detail exactly the "normal, smart" switching solution.

That sounds great, but upon reading it was an MMO I lost all interest. MMOs are measured in days and not hours of (pure) play time, all for the promise of something great, no I don't think so. I'd rather replay FF7 once more, that

I’m wondering, what keeps Windows afloat? I’ve become a Windows person in my childhood, and stayed one because games, Photoshop and 3DS Max ran on it. I’ve long switched to Linux (and dual-boot to a very much unloved Win10 for games that do

Ecstasy is a street name, and its meaning can vary a lot depending on where you are. Around Berlin you’ll find lots of people that call only MDMA pills ecstasy, while Emma is street MDMA, for example.

It’s less that you upgrade your firmware, but rather that some thoughts that never occurred to you are thought in such a setting. Having felt connected to nature, or even a specific tree, changes how you view trees and life in general. Ther

I’m also worried about all the self-medication, where people treat serious issues without supervision. But I also want to highlight that there is a place for recreational, responsible, and safe drug use; there is a _lot_ between between cli

I've looked at Rust-on-ESP a number of times in the past, but it's never been at a level of "I can make an LED blink within an hour or so". Is there a write-up for interested but not deeply involved people somewhere? How

My favorite pattern in HCL is the if-loop. Since there is no »only do this resource if P« in Terraform, the solution is »run this loop not at all or once«.

Germany: Spores are legal in Austria (maybe also Netherlands?). Then search Uncle Ben's Tek online. You can also grow legal mushrooms like this, King Oysters in my case. It's a wonderful project teaching you a lot. Start to finish

Maybe a weird kink, but these Streisand stories are _so_ satisfying to me.
