Correlated, not caused.
The active dose to LD50 ratio for alcohol is somewhere about 1:13 depending on tolerance. For Magic Mushrooms or LSD, it is above 1:1000.

In other words, it is nearly impossible to accidentally kill yourself via overdose on psychedelics - but somewhat easy with alcohol.

Re:JavaScript timers can be bypassed with “Infinity” on Wednesday July 28, 2021 @07:33PM (#27991074)
If a NodeJS application accepts a value from the client application, but validates against an early call (e.g. min 25 mins from now) the Infinity value can bypass that validation.

Because it's a relatively unknown side effect, most validations probably wouldn't check for Infinity.

Plus although Infinity pops off the timer at 0 seconds, a validation based on millisecond math would fail because Infinity > 25 minutes in milliseconds.

Re:Update on Mozilla WebThings on Monday September 21, 2020 @04:03PM (#24547804)
Mozilla seems to be really underperforming in upper management - all of these initiatives that have failed have resulted in engineering layoffs.

When will the business unit leaders responsible for repeated failure be let go and replaced?

Re:Costs of running a Python webapp for 55k monthly users on Friday September 04, 2020 @11:33AM (#24375847)
Depends on the type of web app. https://anim8.io - a site for hobby animators could never run on a $10VPS.

The bandwidth usage is just way too high and video compression requires GPU compute.

Re:Patreon Raises $90M Series E at $1.2B Valuation on Wednesday September 02, 2020 @11:32AM (#24354203)
Yep it did. That's why a lot of animators are moving to https://anim8.io
https://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/ is much more comprehensive, and sadly very few ever read it.

Lots of functionality in the spec that isn't even possible to find on MDN or W3 Schools.

Re:PDF: Still unfit for human consumption, 20 years later on Tuesday August 11, 2020 @10:42AM (#24120745)
Most of the publishing industry still uses .docx, some of the more advanced publishers have moved over to ASCIIDoc - personally I think Markdown is the easiest to use for a big project (having written and published a technical book prior).

There is very little functionality JQuery offers that the modern browser DOM API doesn't provide with more robust performance.
Re:I was blackmailed – any YouTuber could be next on Tuesday May 26, 2020 @05:11PM (#23316437)
DevFactor (https://youtube.com/devfactor) was shut down several years ago due to a similar issue with automated copyright trolling that took YouTube about 3 months to fix per time it happened.
I bought recently from a dealership that was going out of business right by an upscale university and negotiated about $3500 off of MSRP on a new car.

They told me they had to lay off around half their staff due to Covid.

The deals are out there you just have to look for them.

Lots of YouTube animators have been moonlightning on Anim8 (https://www.anim8.io) as of recently :)

If you are an animation fan you should give it a shot.

If you are interested in learning web app security but can't get into Stanford, consider reading this book: https://www.amazon.com/Web-Application-Security-Exploitation...

Covers just about everything a software engineer (or web developer) needs to learn in order to get into security.

Re:1000 True Fans? Try 100 on Friday February 07, 2020 @02:56AM (#22264016)
We actually see a similar pattern on https://www.anim8.io

A couple animators on our platform have extremely dedicated fans making up the majority of the donation revenue.

Supply chain is a definite concern with LSD, and other synthetic drugs. They are often incorrectly dosed and sometimes laced with other chemicals.

Naturally grown drugs like marijuana, mushrooms, even peyote and it's cousins are easy to identify, easy to dose safely and there is almost no risk of supply chain tampering.

Re:Boeing Sales and Profits Plummet as 737 Max Crisis Continues on Wednesday October 23, 2019 @03:45PM (#21338151)
Good. Corporations should be punished when corporate greed leads to negligence which leads to the loss of human life en masse in exchange for short term profit.

I don’t see how this is a bad thing for the market, if anything there will be more pressure to make safe aircraft.

Re:Node.js 13.0 on Tuesday October 22, 2019 @04:39PM (#21328278)
Agreed. That's a ridiculous change.

A well defined function should have a single purpose, and a reliable and repeatable output.
