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…

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…
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…
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…
Howard era policies have strongly contributed to the housing problems in Australia today. His policies were short sighted.
Openwrt with the policy based routing package can do this, and is simple to set up.
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…
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,…
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…
Competition at the $500 per week range is intense, because there are many people who can't afford more than that.
I think language does us a disservice here. I'm reminded of Korzybski's work in Science and Sanity. The interpretation of "truth" depends on which level of abstraction you are operating on. "Every statement is true in…
Thanks for your input. I have a similar feeling about general economic matters. I like Gary Stevenson's perspective on this. When the numbers say the economy is doing well, but you talk to "ordinary people" and they say…
For what it's worth, one of my uni lecturers in my final uni year told me that over half the cohort for that year would never work in engineering because there weren't enough jobs. He said the uni didn't want him…
My feeling is there are often factors which are not captured in job market statistics, which is why it's important to listen to the experience of grads seeking jobs. When I graduated in 2018, it took me a whole year to…
The left and right have more in common with each other than they realise. Many of the distinctions become irrelevant when you realise it's really workers against the power of massive capital.
Sorry, it wasn't my intention to demean the project. I can just see a humorous aspect to it. The human element reminded me of Mancierge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4WrPkKc2Wg
I enjoyed reading fiction until I studied electrical engineering. After that I felt that fiction was a waste of time. On a cognitive level I don't think it is, but I think the feeling comes from having been instilled…
This sounds a bit like a Tim and Eric Cinco product.
The official jellyfin android app also provides 'remote' functionality (skip episodes, browse library, change volume etc.). It works well for me most of the time, but occasionally it can't find the remote session until…
Korzybski claimed that the most significant difference was the human ability of time-binding. https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/Cbqr9NcFDtjvM6zC4/time-bindi...
Cool project. I've been using this IMDB interface and really like its simplicity: https://github.com/zyachel/libremdb
Please don't spread misinformation like this. It can stop people from seeking professional help. When people seek therapy, they are taking ownership over their emotions and actions, because they want to change their…
This interpretation seems accurate to me. I think the big concern is what happens once the asset and passive wealth class have squeezed the working class dry. And the governments don't have enough wealth for a welfare…
Named buffers combined with helm is so good!
