Out of curiosity, why do vaccines like polio protect us for life, but ones for coronavirus only for a couple of years?

While many raves are like that, many others are not. I do agree that the ones that are like that are annoying. But I wouldn’t not go to any rave-like scenes just because it may end up that way. I’d lose out on too much, personally.

The only idea conveyed in your message that has any factual basis is that psychedelics should be taken with a lot of care, preparation, and consideration, including pre existing susceptibilities.

Everything else you said builds on top of this idea as if they are also fact based, but they are not. Let’s not make the social acceptance of psychedelics even harder than they already have been made to be.

I think this is a good answer. I'll add that as soon as you need to do something slightly more complex, without something like k8s you aren't going to be happy with your life. With k8s, it's almost a 1 liner. For example, adding a load balancer or a network volume or nginx or an SSL cert or auto scaling or...or...or...

If you think it’s easy to focus on one thing, you haven’t tried meditation.

New comment by sev in "Goodbye, Clean Code"

sev — Sun, 12 Jan 2020 05:30:21 +0000

As @hyperpallium said,

> Rules are a poor substitute for actual thought

There are many times "clean code" is a good goal to have. It depends on what you mean by "clean code" and what you mean by "deduplication". As with many things in software engineering, the best answer to whether you should strive for "clean code" is "it depends."

If you have a utility function that you are redefining in every file, literally copy/pasting it everywhere, then you might as well create a shared function and import it and use it everywhere instead. This is an example of a good goal.

It is not a cure for the root cause of anything.

I like to think of it as a tool that helps you get out of writers block. You still have to write once you’re unblocked; it won’t be able to write for you.

If this is a major concern for you, you might want to use something like immutableJS[0]. More often than not I’ve found it unnecessary except in very contained parts of a large app, but in case it’s helpful I wanted to point it out.

Interestingly, what makes a great chef is when they can consistently churn out the same exact dumpling.
