water554··on Ask HN: How to remember technical topics which you don’t use/refer everyday?
I don’t. I blast it all out of my mind with massive amounts of alcohol and cannabis and then look it up as needed.

Syncthing is epic!

Nah this one was developed by Chinese devs.
water554··on Canada trials decriminalising cocaine, MDMA and other drugs
You decriminalize drugs and criminalize pitching a tent in the park. The benefit is that the government no longer tells an individual what they can and cannot put into their own body.

Well they will get OT and if they don’t like it can always find another job
water554··on Ask HN: What Is Your Number?
Lived there for 2 years.

Mexico City, Tijuana, small states. It’s my favorite and least favorite country on earth.

People/culture are amazing warm and welcoming. Honestly the best people on the planet IMO. Let me say that again. The best people on the planet IMO. They are cool ass mofos.

Amazing natural beauty and sights. Architecture.

Delicious cheap food.

Low cost of living.

Cheap drugs.

Fantastic nightlife.

Cons:

Reliable hot water is extremely elusive.

The Mexicans probably have the worst economic / business efficiency I’ve ever seen, with some exceptions. I had an experience where it took 20 minutes to scoop some ice cream and ring me up. The business fuck over the workers. Do not work for a Mexican company.

Electronics are 2x expensive if you can find them.

Everything is corrupt.

It’s kinda safe but not really. You will be looking over your shoulder often.

The Mexicans get fucked over so hard by their government it brings tears to my eyes.

The government is the worst.

The country is seriously upside down land. Nothing surprises me anymore.

If you like to party the cops will try to plant drugs on you.

10/10 would live there again once my hair grows back in and the trauma fades away.
