In my experience Javascript modes are usually as good or better than html/web modes so I don't think the problem is a lack of tooling.

As for the function, I'm curious to know what you get out of wrapping html in the m function.

I consider Mooz's Keysnail Firefox add-on to be the most impressive keyboard oriented browsing tool. It's endlessly configurable, dotfiles in javascript--really nice to work with.

For Chrome, the Vimium extension is very good, but recently I've been having a lot of fun with a similar, more configurable alternative called chromium-vim.

They're basically the same, except the native debugger--like you said--is faster. I love Firefox, but I've switched to Chrome for the dev tools and overall speed.

You're correct in saying that fluoxetine (prozac) can reduce the ability of the chemical that causes MDMA neurotoxicity (whatever it is) to get inside the axon and cause damage. However, in doing so fluoxetine reduces MDMA’s ability to work (as you stated).

People regularly dosing with SSRIs may be safe from neurotoxicity, but they usually don’t feel the normal effects of MDMA either. The idea of using SSRIs to prevent neurotoxicity is something of a catch-22: If you take the SSRI after coming down from the MDMA, it’s probably too late to do a lot of good. On the other hand, taking an SSRI before-hand tends to reduce the desired effects of MDMA, making it more logical to simply take less MDMA in the first place.

All things considered, it’s unlikely that taking an SSRI before or after MDMA is a very useful prevention strategy. Since SSRIs have their own side effects and potential risks, the practice should probably be avoided.

He didn't completely ignore the claims. As he mentioned, the targeting specs may have been too broad.

It's easy argue against the value of something so easily faked as a like, but we shouldn't forget that Facebook is also a large platform for promotional advertising, where "like-gated" promotions are designed primarily to collect users' email addresses.

Can someone explain how she plotted the car's position? Did she manually reconstruct it based on the video and the information she derived from the helicopter's noise?

Fascinating explanation. Thank you for introducing me to the concept of a "triumphant failure"--I wonder whether there's a wiki somewhere listing other famous examples?

However, I think you may be slightly mythologizing this machine. After all, the 808 wasn't designed with emulating real drum sounds as its primary goal--the Linn LM-1 drum machine, which was released a few months before the 808, literally emulated drums via digital samples of recorded drums. The 808 was designed to give musicians a cheap, flexible means of creating demos via the standard analog synthesis that was popular at the time.

With that being said, I think a more probable reason for its lasting popularity has less to do with the machine's ability to capture the essence of percussion and more to do with circumstance: the 808 was affordable ($1,195 versus $5,000 for the Linn LM-1) to the historically impoverished youth who birthed the global cultural/musical phenomenon we know as hip-hop.

I agree with the value you place in intelligence and like how you qualify your essay as a discussion, but in perspective, your methods are simply imprecise and as you said, anecdotal.

You humorously contrast your essay to a "randomized clinical trial," but to be matter-of-fact, these trials exist: IQ tests or their politically acceptable stand-in, the SAT.

I guess what I'm asking is this: what's stopping you from requesting something like the SAT even if it's only for curiosity's sake?
