"then" is used to depict time, sequence or a causal relationship. "than" is used with comparative adjectives, to depict comparison.

It would definitely be milder and slower.Safe? Nothing is.
If you want to fuck with your brain, then doesn't matter whether you choose poppy seeds or IV its refined chemical. You will still fuck your brain.And coffee is pretty much an addiction.
The difference is that with the former, you would at least know what is happening to you before you turn yourself into an invalid.And for those who said they didn't know what was happening... No. Your body gave you the signs and you decided to ignore them.
Allopathic drugs are measured in mg and some even in µg, while you will see ayurvedic stuff being talked about in grams or tens of grams, simply because they are less refined.
While marijuana and nightshade (and coffee) would be herbal "medicine" substitute for MDMA, DMT, nicotine, cocaine etc,the others you mentioned would be a substitute for Chlorpheniramine Maleate, phenylpropanolamine and the likes.
So if a herbal medicine doctor is prescribing you marijuana for cough and cold, you can perhaps consider it being a quack. Same for someone prescribing SSRIs to a functioning adult that works 40 hours a week, on their first visit.
OSI is not US court (or at least I hope not).Playing on words isn't going to get the license accepted.
On the other hand, why does it have to be accepted?You are doing something different. Just do the different thing.
gitgud :PI use the CLI mostly.It gives me confidence that I am not doing something unknowingly.
In some cases, I prefer GUI tools:
- For
blame, I prefer what Qt Creator provides- Although it could have been better
- For
graph, the default CLI one is not pretty enough and honestly doesn't help as a graph. So I go with GUI stuff- there are quite a few alternatives available that make it much faster to grasp on sight
C
#define EQUAL_TO =Look! I made a new programming language!
- Vaccines are not medicine. They are a more refined form of older (much dirtier and dangerous) practices of sharing sick people's blood to create group immunity. I'm pretty thankful of not having to do the latter.
- No, herbs are far from factory produced, chemically engineered medicine.
- Most usages of herbs are defined in a way that it acts much closer to cooking. Also most of the herbs used in everyday cooking have medicinal and detoxifying properties, which is 1 of the ways food recipes have developed the way they do.
- Herbal medicine is much milder than the extremely refined medicine produced using modern methods
- Hence, they are much slower to act and you need to be using them much earlier than what you can manage with modern ones
- Hence, there is much less overdose related problems
- Most herbal medicine tend to have multiple effects. This is in contrast with modern medicine, where extra effects tend to be mostly undesirable and detrimental
- Hence, herbal medicine is a better choice for regular, low intensity problems, like the flu and what-not, rather than popping Paracetamol every time your temp goes 1℉ over the baseline.
- Herbal medicine works along with nutrition. This means, it is much harder to develop a tolerance to it in a way that would make it harder for it to work in the future.
The Networks Widget was the first thing I noticed.The separation of ipv4 and ipv6 info and the added status page in the kcm was a nice addition.
Nice.Now install Doom on it.
A good way to feel that for yourself is by programming a little program in Assembly and C.
Make sure the program needs to loop a bit and perhaps also require some
if/elselogic.A simple one would be to read a 1000 integers and return the sum.In C, you would do something like:
c
int MAX = 1000; int accumulator = 0; int counter = 0; while (counter < MAX) { accumulator = accumulator + value_at_next_memory_location_by_counter; counter = counter + 1; }In assembly, you would go (writing pseudo, because I have forgotten most assembly stuff):
set reg1 = 1000 // For max value set accumulator = 0 // just choose a register and consider it an accumulator. older CPUs have a fixed accumulator and you can only operate on that. I am not considering that here set reg2 = 0 // For counter tag LOOP: set flag if true reg2 < reg1 jump if false -> END move from memory location @counter(reg2) to reg3 add accumulator reg3 add reg2 1 goto -> LOOP tag END:I also realised that you could just try using C with
gotoinstead of any loops and would realise similar things, but I'm not in the mood to rewrite my comment.In conclusion, it is easier to understand something like BASIC, if you haven't been introduced to other languages, but these
{}structures end up making it easier to catch control flows at a glance.That's also the argument I use when telling people to have opening and closing brackets of the same level at the same indent, while people prefer stuff like:c
if { ... } else { ... }I want in. What are you making?
Honestly, I was surprised at how much hand-holding junior devs required.Because, I didn't really ask for a tenth of that.
But it really just varies by person. There were enough people I knew during uni that decided and executed projects by themselves. For some reason, I just don't meet similar ones at work.
So I recently started contributing a little to FOSS projects and and in just a few months, I ended up learning more than I learned in over a year of "industry experience".
The variance is high in this one.
The whole team of like 30+ got fired during our summer 2025 layoffs.
You missed an important detail.What happened to the pro-Ai manager??
If I were to get long-term WFH with enough salary to manage my own living, I might just delete my LinkedIn etc accounts.Not looking to climb any corporate ladder. I know what I am good at and that's what I apply for.
- I could notice it at 0.05 (well I tried 0.05 right after 0.02, so maybe it would work at lower too)
- I would guess I might notice 0.02 if it were music.
I see. So the reason I didn't get it was because you were not really joking. Also, I seem to not have much background information of the domain you are talking in, so can't continue thee conversation in my current condition.
I bought a "gaming" mechanical keyboard from ANT eSports, which boasted 6KRO (or some number like this) Anti-Ghosting and RGB backlight written in some parts of the package, while rainbow LED was written in others.
Result:
- I learnt that "rainbow" is not RGB
- It was not anti-ghosting. In fact it failed some common key combinations that even a $2 Dell keyboard did pretty well.
- its switches started going bad at day 3, which I only realised after opening the switch and realising that the bent contact material of the Kailh Red switches were not springy and were just getting stuck in position.
- I guess this one is my bad for asking them to just hand me the display model
As far as latency goes, there is a point that I read somewhere that it's better to connect User Input devices to USB 2 slots, which are on a separate hub from the USB 3 slots that you might have connected storage or networking devices to.
Most of my gaming related problems have come up related to nKRO (the absence of it). Be it space games like X4 and Elite: Dangerous or Hollow Knight ^[this one, I actually paused mid-game when I realised that the ghosted keys were making the play un-fun, so now I will either afford to buy/make a good nKRO keyboard or not play it and maybe not end up buying Silksong 😢].
I am usually too slow to notice latency in gaming cases. But I do in case of music, making me unable to use a keyboard on a computer as a musical keyboard (making music in realtime). Though the context was a heavily laggy game with a musical minigame, so it might be different when using proper musical software. I still expect it to make a big difference though.
keyboards use a matrix that has to be scanned instead of having a wire per-key because it saves a few bucks
Hehe, this was a fun statement. I was actually looking into making a keyboard for myself and while looking for available microcontrollers I could use, I found out that the difference between not using a scanning matrix (1 wire per key) and using one wa not being able to even make a 75% vs having enough address space for a 105 + 12 (extra fn keys
F13toF24and more macro keys) layout.I would have had to go with a PLCs or Ultrascale FPGAs with unnecessarily high processing power, because components are usually easily available for less I/O with higher throughput instead of greater parallel I/O.
On the other hand, by my calculation it was pretty easy to match the 1kHz overall polling rate using the polling rate available on the I/O pins available on a Raspberry Pi (or was it an Arduino I calculated it for? I forget), so key -> controller software latency shouldn't be a real problem.
I just took the above comment as continuing the joke, but this explanation actually confuses me more.Well, I don't really think you need to be very clear in this case. Jokes are more fun when you "get" them rather than have them explained.
One stick to stick them all...
