Can anybody explain me (or recommend any resources that explains) what benefit does it have to make it illegal to have these substances?

From my point of view, it does not fix the problem of having people consume them, and it does harm the time it takes for us to have serious scientific tests that assess if they have any good benefits at all.

> That's just rude and uncalled for

I think you're not the "shaman" he's referring to.

By "big brain type system shaman" I understood someone who doesn't necessarily write code, but instead, e.g. sells courses around the topic, getting people hyped about it, etc.

He uses the word "shaman" previously when talking about Agile, and there are many who fit that picture of working on selling courses, and not on developing software.

True.

I hope someone asks that question, no one has done it so far.

> Our information diet is only as useful as is relevant in future

I think there are situations where ephemerous knowledge is useful. For example, knowing about a security vulnerability: its profitability is much higher before the issue gets fixed, which can happen anytime (be it two hours or two years).

Another example: imagine you know insert-influential-billonaire is going to tweet about insert-trendy-currency, this information is completely irrelevant for the future, but you can certainly use it to make money.

It's worth mentioning these two examples, however, can provide longer-lasting knowledge as a by-product too.

As use cases vary too much, I don't think this is the browser's responsibility.

> React Flow enables you to build node-based applications

Also "node-based" doesn't mean the usual run-javascript-in-backend node, but the diagram nodes.

Workflowy is good but it's really expensive for what it does, I'm glad we have grit as an alternative.

Not only inspiration, there are various linked articles with good suggestions on how to write good readmes: https://github.com/matiassingers/awesome-readme#articles

> There's so much much better personal finance advice out there, even one-pagers out there

I haven't seen concise one-pagers with advices, could you please share some links?

Better UI/UX.

From that same section of the article.

Besides all other points by jhayward, what kind of changes do you have in mind? From my perspective at first sight it isn't necessarily negative that we are doing the things in a pretty simlar way as to how we were doing them 40 years ago.

In case it's useful, this one seems to have been built specially for that use case: https://www.zettlr.com/

Never understood those kind of "security" questions. Is the site really going to hand out access to my account if that question gets answered correctly?

Also, some sites don't allow you to not set up one, so it's like forcing users to open up a new vector to be hacked.

I'm happy to hear that your dog changed your life, I hope he changed it for the better, but I'm sad to hear you purchased him.

The conclusion I understood from your first comment is something along the lines of: "it's now more important to me to make more money since it affects my longtime girlfriend".

Meanwhile, my gut feelings about this say that I wouldn't want my partner to feel this way about my income status.

Can you elaborate on why? What would you have done differently?

It's counterintuitive for a reason, and to be honest I have bad (not necessarily direct) experiences in both cases, and can't conclude which one is the best. Does a busier street really mean less likely to be mugged? Why?

Even if his view assumes that, wouldn't assuming otherwise be also wrong? Why should we think that most people dying have carefully analyzed their entire life, and even if they did, why should we assume they are correct?

You don't even have to go as far as compiler bugs, there WILL be application bugs after a rewrite.

Well, it's a reasonable misconception to have, banners don't usually explain everything, they mostly say "hey, we use cookies", and not "hey, we use non-essential cookies".

It's a gift, one can always reject it.

Could you please share some examples of proper IDEs and what mind-blowing things they can do?

Couldn't a person A submit feedback to my personal link simulating that he is in reality person B, maybe to his own benefit?

Also I'm sad to admit that some feedback requires pinpointing specific examples of things that have actually happened, so I would use this tool as a complement, but not a sustitute.

Otherwise, sounds like a great idea, I agree that all feedback without anonymity is wrapped into layers and layers of "kindness" to not sound too harsh, which can make you miss the point the feedback wanted to address.

> Your password doesn’t matter except for password spray (avoid the top guessed passwords with a dictionary checker of some kind) or brute force (use more than 8 characters, or use a password manager if you are really nervous). That’s not to say your password isn’t terrible. It’s definitely terrible, given the likelihood that it gets guessed, intercepted, phished, or re-used.

> Watch junk TV

Agreed with you until this point. At least the junk TV I know also involves (be it consciously or not) comparing yourself, this time with celebrities instead of acquaintances.
