Re:Should DayQuil Be Legal?

Okay question was about drugs that are contraindicated for all medical purposes like heroin.
Also do you see any ironic connection between your two examples: easily accessible antibiotics and a medically resistant infection?
Re:Should DayQuil Be Legal?
on Monday July 06, 2026 @12:15PM (#48806727)
What is the argument for legalizing drugs that are contraindicated for all medical purposes, are toxic, and have a high addictive potential? How does it benefit me or society if my neighbor is permitted to choose to basically roll the dice on afflicting themselves with a debilitating chronic illness (severe addiction)? If I don’t want to do illegal drugs why would I ant to support this?

I’m pretty sure that “closed loop” in this context would mean that the water is recirculated and not evaporated.

I think a lot of the time you would be correct. But this is published to arxiv so it’s not peer reviewed and doesn’t boost the authors credentials. It could be designed to attract attention to the company they work at. Or it could just be a cool idea the author wanted to share.

I definitely wouldn’t call vscode performant. The UI elements have noticeable latency and most things feel slow. Startup takes multiple seconds.

I don’t understand the design constraints and goals that would lead to someone choosing this design. It seems like an insane amount of complexity. I also don’t know much about web development. Wouldn’t it be much simpler to just build a C++ application? I think one possible reason for choosing a web based design is because web frameworks can look really good. But I think this is not an important thing to optimize for in an editor, especially if it’s coming at the expense of performance.
Re:Code Models

In general it’s impossible to trace the flow of an entire program due to the halting problem. Also most programs have a lot of branches and this would lead to an explosion of possible paths through the code to trace.

I think the reason for this is that most people don’t even know the answer. If there were only 2 options when this question was asked then 49% of people saying the s&p500 is down would indicate a low confidence result I think. The number is basically a meaningless coin flip.
Re:The Second Golden Age of Emacs

Really? Do you have any links to explain this? I find this to be a super unintuitive result because I would expect compiled code to be faster than interpreted. My recommendation to you Mabel native compiling is just based on personal experience not benchmarks. Emacs feels faster after enabling it.
Re:The Second Golden Age of Emacs

I highly recommend compiling emacs from source with the option for native lisp compilation enabled. Emacs is way faster when you do this.

Fun fact, you can plot variable values over time with gdb. You just have to create a gdb extension to do it: https://github.com/jyurkanin/gdb_extensions
This blew my mind when I figured out how to make these extensions and everyone should be making their own extensions. It's a force multiplier. Literally life changing
