I mean, a single person's vote has pretty much the same weight as a single person boycotting Chinese goods. So I'm not sure what you. At least with a personal boycott, I keep my peace of mind and diminish the number of Chinese goo

Strictly anecdotal obviously, but having spent a majority of my 20s in and about the Ayahuasca "peace and love let's dance with flowers in our hair" crowd, I can tell you that a lot of the empathy and mental growth is very su

You're right. Although someone like Terrence McKennna would categorize cannabis as psychoactive. Very heavy doses have that almost borderline trippy visuals effect once in a while, in my personal experience.

The sqlx package is a similar Go wrapper around SQL. Very handy for scanning into structs.

Agreed. I've been keeping a 3:30am-9:30pm schedule for a couple years now and I don't see it working if I had to share a bed, or even a house with a partner. I suppose people have to make certain adjustments if the relationship is

Good to see ongoing Haiku development. I tried it on an older macbook-pro a while back but couldn't get ethernet/wifi working. Perhaps I'll give it another try soon. Also, I love how the website has that 2002 PHP-nuke cms kin

Your government isn't doing this out of strong ideological principles in order to protect the freedom and privacy of it's people. Your government is salty because big tech gets to screw you over without giving the govt it's c

The Miles Davis autobiography is really really good. It's a great primer in jazz history too, and how he'd helped shape it. I listened to all the records by Dizzy/Bird/etc while reading the book and it was sort of transf

I recommend you study the human history of politics and warfare, to fully understand why your comment is supremely naive.

I guess it's $100k due to the fact that it's not the original Lucille he saved from that fire.

I'd like to buy some guitars from my favorite players one day. I wonder if the person who ends up buying Lucille will actually play it. I hope they do!

Maybe not, but the freedom to have that chance, no matter how small, is worth having. To me personally anyway.

Thanks for sharing. I'm familiar with his records with Vijay Iyer. They're amazing!

> Jazz has moved past the standard 'swing and ballad' forms that were popular throughout the late 20th century I mean, that's not really saying much. Jazz moved past the standard stuff with Ornette Coleman, Coltrane etc i

This is judgement I happen to agree with. However, I would like more consistency across every other field as well. Should it be legal for someone fraudulent like Stephen Greer to take people out to the desert to have alien/UFO experien

Sorry to hear that, friend.

I'd forgotten how much I loved Megadeth, having not listened to them for well over a decade. I realize that Peace Sells and Rust In Peace are phenomenally written, in whatever musical context you'd want to judge them by. There are

The last time I did a bit of frontend for a side project was in 2004. Then I took a long break from dev and computers in general. Earlier this year I'd decided to brush up on the whole frontend/JS ecosystem. It was weird initially

It's hilarious that the "neck hammock" product is being advertised as being better than chiropractors. I would avoid gimmicky products like this, especially if it involves your neck. Best to have a daily stretching/yoga

Zig is very cool. Not sure whether it has a community yet. I liked the authors talks and livestreams on YouTube.

Syncthing is amazing. Have it running on a few machines. It's been Rock solid for the last 6 months. I primarily use it to sync org-mode files on different machines. The client worked great on Android too when I last used it. Syncthin

Probably not very useable at all. But it points out how independant actors are able to access weapons that are otherwise not sold to anybody who isn't the state. Which leads to the question, if an incompetent party that was careless en

I understand all of that, but still am willing to be in the Stallman or tinfoil-hat conspiracy nut camp just to be safe. I'm too old to be actively trying to figure out whom to trust, and whom not, especially since there are so many ac

I would advise everyone to be actively paranoid about security/privacy issues. Nobody is on your side. Every corporation and state actor will screw you over if it comes to that. It is human nature to feel comfort knowing that "som

Did they buy it recently? I recall Google owning it for a bit through an acquisition? Yeah it certainly would be nice if ddg rebranded and pushed duck as it's name.

No disrespect to the author(gwern) but I do kinda agree with you. From reading a bunch of their posts linked from HN/Reddit, I get the impression that they're a little bit like the guitar player who is always talking about the bes
