I don't get why you and many other commenters are so against the idea of fusion. Solar is decent, not perfect by any stretch, so we should just give up trying to solve the energy technology for the next 200 years? It's not even like it's one or the other. No one is abandoning solar to work on fusion. But fusion, if it works, is orders of magnitudes more efficient than solar is. It opens avenues that are considered impossible and science fiction today.

It's like being back in the 1700s and arguing that research into petrol is a waste of time. I absolutely do not understand this mindset.

You can read directly linked tweets or the first few posts of a Twitter page but as soon as you interact with the page or try to navigate elsewhere, you get prompted for a login.

So technically they're not preventing access, but they nag you incessantly after you've scrolled past the fold.

Depends, here in the UK it is, while for example Adderall is very expensive as it needs to be imported from the US.

A little more than a decade ago I ordered a bag of 2C-I, shipped to me via snail mail from China. One of the most enjoyable psychedelics I've ever tried. At the time 2C-B was already harder to get and I was a little bummed out I had to settle for something less known.

FYI, SWIM means "somebody who isn't me", often used on drugs forums.

So I've heard, but I've also heard psychiatrists being very cautious in prescribing Desoxyn. AFAIR Slate Star Codex linked many times in this thread is one of them. And I'm not even sure you can get it prescribed outside of the US.

Methamphetamine seems to be very effective with fewer side effects, but there's a lot of stigma and legal issues with it being one of the most controlled substances. So even if cheap it's not going to be easy or convenient to get it prescribed.

A couple years ago people were recommending Vue as an effective alternative to React's complexity.

Then Vue itself became complex.

Now people recommend Svelte as an effective alternative to Vue's complexity.

Will Svelte remain simple?

It's not hard to see this constant cycle of "simplicity -> people need more -> complexity -> let's jump ship" if you're a web developer with more than a few winters. Every time there's a new simple library around the corner that makes reality so much easier to deal with, but it's mostly just hype speak and this simplicity never lasts for long.

Yeah and I don't see the comparison with Google either. Valve isn't known for killing profitable products. Steam Machines was just an experiment which came a few years too soon, the technology wasn't there yet, thus Proton and now the actual Steam Machines are a reality.

> corporations are not our friends

While true, good luck living your life without dealing with a corporation.

In fact, you're a dollar sign for your next door shop as well.

Honestly, I'm neutral about kernel level anticheat. I won't play any of those games, but this doesn't mean we should make porting games that make use of these technologies any harder.

It's just a matter of time before some company insider is paid to manipulate their employers' stock through the power of the /r/WallStreetBets self-defined autists.

Companies use social media for astroturfing and viral marketing, why not market manipulation?

It's not anti business. It's anti ultra rich.

Business and the economy can function without incredible amounts of wealth concentrated into the hands of a few filthy rich people.

Beefsteak tomatoes with some buffalo mozzarella and basil and you've got yourself a Caprese.

I've had people on Reddit and on here trying to convince me Google were able to beat and zero latency. In other words that they discovered faster than light communication.

Spoiler alert: they didn't.

People change their mind.

This reenforces my decision to jailbreak my Switch Lite. It's been sitting unused for 2 years, I don't like it, gives me cramps, and the store prices are ridiculous when used to the convenience and sales offered by Steam. And I have to pay for the Nintendo Online subscription to install a NES and SNES emulator. Yeah, no.

Any good Switch jailbreak resources? I'm comfortable doing it, I don't know what's the latest and most effective hack these days.

With the assumption that HN-goers are more trustworthy than average.

I will make no guarantee to be a trustworthy person.

That's usually Americans, expecting everybody else to be American as well or they should know how the US works if they don't.

What is interesting is that I've never heard of hanko until today. It seems like it's usage is widespread, everybody carries one in case they need to sign something official. It's surprising how I never heard of or seen these seals ever.

Liquorix isn't the Zen kernel, but it's a set of patches on top of Linux, including Zen among others.

Widgets require JS, of course. Javascript was born to sprinkle some of it on top of an HTML page, not to make a whole meal out of it. This is what GP is arguing about and I tend to agree. Single Page Apps are not worth the effort in my experience, apart from very niche use cases.

The velocity proposition and fantastic developer experience of writing JS in the backend and frontend and data layer is overrated and misleading. It's everything but.

* Note: this is only valid for the time of writing. We cannot guarantee these libraries will still represent the state of the art past this date.

I've spoken about my dislike of next.js a few times, and it's mostly centered around its documentation. It is decent, but it is no way as complete as an established framework like Django. Have you ever compared the depth of the two? I'm on mobile, just read and compare, I don't know, the routing API docs for both.

Also the APIs are very simplistic, I haven't used it in the past few months when I quit my job, but I vividly recall how anything outside of the simple examples it provides were an exercise in frustration and digging into Github Issues and its source code. The whole data fetching system is so incredibly convoluted if you're doing a little more than static pages or build-time rendering. getInitialProps, getServerSideProps, getStaticProps, hooks, etc., all with their own caveats and performance considerations.

Next might be one of the better JS frameworks but it's laughably bad compared to Django, Rails, Phoenix.

The issue I have with the JS world is that the most used libraries and frameworks are just "good enough for a small project" and no more than that.

* Javascript has such a minimal standard library, you will need to get one or three third-party libraries to augment its core.

* React is an excellent view library and nothing more. You will need to get one or three third-party system to turn it into a fully fledged web framework.

* Frameworks like Next.js are good enough to create a static page, but as requirements grow more complex, its limited feature-set and lack of in-depth documentation will feel like a prison.

* Dev tooling is non existent, so it's on you to get and _configure_ a linter, type checker, testing framework, bundler, etc.

Without speaking of the DOM and CSS, which are just _now_ starting to feel feature complete for most use cases.

Javascript proponents say the ability to mix and match is its strongest feature, but to me the analysis paralysis of having to stop and shop for a library that does X (and will only do X) is a total productivity killer.

The worst thing is when laymen abbreviate the version number 1.20 to 1.2 - quite confusing.

Versions aren't numbers.

As I mentioned in a sibling comment, 68% of US people are Mg deficient, 3% are K deficient. And considering how many are hypertensive, K supplementation, which is already tricky, needs an even bigger caveat, as many hypertensive medications are potassium sparing, thus supplementation should _not_ be done without medical supervision. I agree that it's tricky to test, and the science around potassium metabolism with HTN medication is confusing and contradicting: you can find studies for the same medication that say it's potassium sparing and another that says that hypokalemia is a common side effect.

You can have vegetables containing potassium, sure, but it's a bit of a stretch to say that potassium deficiency is widespread, in general and supplementation of it is discouraged.

Given that 68% of people in the US are deficient from the other electrolyte, magnesium, I maintain that potassium deficiency is rare(r), and certainly is scarier to supplement that Mg is.
