The thing is, anecdotes can be easily made up. I’m not saying that’s happening in the case of visual snow, but we need studies to talk about things like this, not anecdotes.

You seem to have heard one extreme, that cannabis cures diseases, and you’ve snapped back to the other extreme where you state there is no such thing as a medical use of cannabis. Have you seen the studies? Have you looked into CBD? Yes, th

I’ve done similar. I’ve actually smoked many cigarettes but I’ve never bought nicotine myself. I’ve seen both of my parents piss away thousands of dollars and years of their lives to cigarettes, but damn a hit of a vape can be fun with frie

This is a great way to use drugs. Even coffee! If you have coffee when you have anxiety you’ll be in store for much more anxiety

Anecdotes are fine for story telling but have no place in debates.

I feel like people generally know if they have a family history of these things, or maybe that’s just me?

I can speak to #1. If you take a normal amount, you will not be productive at all in terms what we all feel society demands of us. All ideas of productivity fall away when you trip. Social pressures fall away, you become a kid again in a wa

Seems like it got the hug of death. Just based on the headline, I disagree. If you have a genetic propensity for schizophrenia or things like that then yes, avoid it. But for the vast majority of LSD users it’s a transformative experience.

Blocking Twitter blue users will be hard to do as Elon continue to force Twitter blue on high-follower accounts who refuse to pay for it themselves

Ohh! Thanks for clarifying

Journaling can mean many things. Twitter could be considered a journaling app. At first I read the headline and thought this was dumb, but maybe it will be more like a simple social media app that’s less about mass news stories and more abo

I'm a little confused what you mean by JS lacking a short syntax for lambdas. let multiply = (a, b) => a * b; Is this not a lambda?

by willio58 4y ago
It's funny, I almost noted that arrow functions are a definite oddity of JS that I could see people thrown off by.

I want to be interested in Rust, but then I see a line of code like this in the post: let decrement = move |_| set_value.update(|value| *value -= 1); Maybe I've lost that interest I once had in learning language syntax.. I just don&#x2

At a certain point when do governments stop caring about similar names like this? {something}mate is like {something}ly is like {something}r is like {something}io. They're all just words with a little flourish at the end, who's to

It would be great, but normal people don’t care about the details of implementation. Mastodon does an okay job at this, but we really need something more like twitter that’s decentralized. Again, mastodon is close to this but missing key fe

As someone who consumes twitter posts without even having an account, I don't really care if a 'tweet' comes from twitter or substack.

While this is flatout insane, it does not speak toward crypto's security directly. If you personally decide that you want a company to hold your crypto that's your decision and a poor one at that. You have the ability to create yo

I actually agree. This was probably only an issue because some dev I work with didn't read the docs or didn't think it mattered at the time because our userbase was so small the difference between a scan and a query was negligible

Speaking of limitations with scan in DynamoDb, I've recently been working with DynamoDB and found that our implementation was solely using scan operations. I wrote a couple lines of code to generate a secondary index, used a query oper

HyperCard was before my time but I love learning about it. It's pretty easy to draw a line from HyperCard to the web and web apps we all use today. It's also funny because the creator of HyperCard (Bill Atkinson) thought up the id

The headline almost makes it seem like Big Pharma was responsible for their price cuts. They’re not, they’re greedy corporations who were forced to drop prices on medicine that has seen skyrocketing prices in the past few years. California

100% agree. They’re more deadly and contribute significantly more to climate change. For the vast majority of trips people make, SUVs are a waste of space both internally and externally (on the streets) causing more traffic.

AI is not nearly advanced enough even with GPT 4 that I would tell someone to not get into frontend dev. There’s super cool demos like with the guy feeding in an image of a site and the model generating functional code to match the requirem

All of these fears are valid and models should be designed to not allow certain uses such as those described here. But some will be designed specifically to enable these threats, and that will mean we all need to take security of our system

Thanks for this overview, I definitely had some svelte fomo and now I’m feeling better in a react land.

Carbon emissions aside, crypto is not mostly over. Saying crypto is over right now is like saying the internet was over in 2001.

A year ago I was applying for jobs (react jobs mostly) and got a take home project with angular. I shrugged and said why not? I stared at the angular docs for about 2 hours and emailed the recruiter saying “no thanks”. Angular is such a dep

Small feedback for whoever created that graph: Mac OSX was renamed to MacOs 7 years ago. Larger feedback: Why is iOS on that graph? It's supposed to be desktop software but it shows a small spike for it a few years ago.

Same experience for my team a couple years back. We hated the idea of changing everything to hooks, then we actually started using them and fell in love. So much complexity fell out of our code we couldn't justify sticking with class c
