Burroughs came from an upper middle class background. People with money are sometimes able to avoid some of the health dangers that come with heroin use. It's the heroin users who are poor that end up with the worst health outcomes. Malnutrition and risk of infection for example. Not being able to look after yourself because you have no money left.
You also need to rebuild the firmware with the installed packages. Otherwise you end up without your packages installed. That requires a server to build the firmware for your device. Doing this automatically for everyone is resource intensive.
They have the tools and infrastructure for assembling custom firmware images on-demand, and have recently added it to the default images, so they must feel like their infrastructure is ready for significantly increased demand.
I use attended sys upgrade. I've been using OpenWrt for the last 7 years, but I've noticed that attended sys upgrade often fails at release time. And there are often point releases shortly after. I'm just skeptical that their infrastructure would handle mass auto updates at release time. I usually wait a few weeks after release until the masses have reported various device specific bugs before I upgrade.
This is a lovely notion that most well adjusted people can get behind, but if you've ever had a person with narcissistic personality disorder in your life, you'll understand that they need to create conflict to emotionally regulate themselves. Unfortunately these people tend to acquire wealth and power, and are never satisfied. Then the rest of us have to deal with it.
Could you expand on your comment a bit please? I've not heard of Lem before now. How does it compare to Emacs? Also your comment about cultural leadership. I'm not sure what you're referring to specifically. (Asking in good faith out of curiosity).
The FSF is the only home to the most dogmatic and narrow minded human beings I have ever met in my life. I dare not begin writing why. It is an essay. I have priorities to build things independent of the FSF proclivity for shortcomings.
The reason I recommend Lem is because CL is a general purpose programming language. The two-way flow of professional code in and out of the editor is a tremendous advantage that pays all sorts of dividends to libraries, innovation, runtimes, and tooling. Elisp is a Lisp, but affectionately known as "the worst of the Lisps" among serious Lisp programmers.
Some among the Emacs community are not blameless. Todays AI naysayers are just yesteryears tree-sitter doubters who said "We don't need all that fancy JSON garbledeygook" about LSP adoption. They were against an X frontend. They were against cl-anything in the symbol space. As the rock weathered away, the most abrasive sands remained. Proud they are of the lost atoll upon which no coral may grow.
Lem is an Emacs-like editor built in Common Lisp. It's very impressive and usable for its age and I can see why some people see it as a better Emacs. Still has nowhere near the mindshare of Emacs, though, and it has a long way to go before it can match the Emacs ecosystem.
It doesn't. There is a terminal frontend, a web rendering frontend, and a deprecated SDL frontend. The web frontend was explicitly developed to speed up development, writing implementations for graphics described in CL (the part being accelerated) that can be later served by another frontend should some technical need emerge. Anyone acting like this is Electron is either leaping to conclusions or being intentionally misleading.
You're obviously not very well acquainted. Positron is explicitly aligned with _OSS thinking. "Free/libre" is how the FSF moralizes use of their GPL in order to acquire more copyright assignment from programmers who pay code into their racket so that the FSF can then lord over donations they draw by promising yet another project.
My understanding is that the optimal scenario is taking an SSRI in combination with therapy. The SSRI adds flexibility for the brain to respond to therapy and envisage new possibilities. If you don't include therapy, you've just established a new baseline to habituate to.
This is true overall, but it only works for a limited set of patients. It's pretty likely that what we're calling depression is a different set of diseases that manifest with common symptoms, and SSRIs + therapy work wonders for some variants, but not others.
In fact, we actually do know this to be the case already: bipolar disorder also manifests with the same symptoms as depression for some time, and SSRIs + therapy are definitely not enough to treat bipolar disorder. Most likely there are other similar diseases that present with depressive symptoms that we have yet to identify distinctly and don't know how to treat effectively.
I was drawn to engineering by the joy of learning and problem solving. The pain of puzzling over a difficult problem, then the ecstatic release when you figure it out and get it working. I don't understand why someone would want to give that up. It gives meaning to the work.
You don't need to argue it out with HN, if you want to negotiate landlords generally are happy to at least consider it. I've paid rent as an annual lump sum before.
Makes more sense since most live week-by-week. Similar to how AM/PM notation makes more sense since it's how we tell time. US date format is harder to defend, but...
I'll be called a heretic but, a couple of years ago (after being back in a country that uses day/month/year instead of the US), I came to the conclusion that the month/day notation is actually more useful to me.
Quite often, the month of the date is more relevant to me than the day. Knowing at a glance whether something is happening in the same month as the current day, or in the same month as some other date, is more convenient, as is being able to easily group things by month visually.
And yeah, I can definitely acknowledge month/day/year makes no sense, but it works for me.
