The end goal of dating isn't to find a life long partner for everyone. Some people date to that end - great. Some other people are fine dating "casually", without the prospect of a longterm (possibly lifelong) relationship as the goal. In other words, they might enjoy the company of the nice guy/gal from dinner last night for a few weeks, and then move on to a next person whenever they feel like it. That's also fine (although it might not be fine ~for you~).

Also the very concept of "dating" is very much tied to American culture, and one's perception of it (and its goals/effectiveness) will vary greatly depending on culture/religion/upbringing/etc. There's a version of you in a parallel universe brought up in a culture where arranged marriages are the norm, and you'd be posting in this thread about how ridiculous it is that one should date at all - your parents should pick your partner for you!

You can have some fees deferred. but $3k per person for computers is $12k... company formation is $5-10k, convertible note is $5-10k, terms of service, IP assignment, etc. Patents are $10-50k depending on how far you take them.

$120k is high, but not outrageous.
Do you have any credible, not thoroughly debunked research on this? I don't think anecdotes would be helpful here since most couples I know regularly commission porn of their characters and seem quite happy together.

> And I'm also going to say: If Burger King is forced to get a separate stove(or whatever it's called in the industrial-sized context they're in) just for that 1 burger, they will cancel that burger.

They will not kill it, it's too popular to make that decision, and has gigantic growth potential. From business perspective they will do everything to keep those few milion vegans getting into BK.

For me biggest problem is meat smell inside of their restaurants. Most vegans don't like that. ;)
Being short is not a flaw but dwarfism is not the same as simply being shorter than average. It is objectively a flaw because it can directly lead to various other health problems.

Van Gogh was colorblind. Had his parents been able to cure him of it at a young age, we would likely not have any of his works now. I'm not trying to make any argument by saying this. I don't know what it means.
>>Who is to say what is the best wage?

This isn't a complicated question but it's strange you're proposing it like it's unanswerable. We have plenty of models that help us understand price. I imagine you could easily establish a basket of goods which would be used as a proxy for a 'fair' market rate. Regardless, the means do not dictate the ends. If a minimum wages is deemed an effective way to increase economic growth, the solution might be an iterative one.

Additionally, the Government isn't deciding what 'Your' salary is. They are setting a floor for the labor market. Without a floor for wages the economy would devolve into feudalism. Employers are a cartel and they would use size to suppress wages at the benefit of shareholder profits.

Personally I'm all for the free-market. There are certain instances where two parties are not negotiating from an equal foothold. I think the labor/employer relationship is one of those systems.
You're right now more or less "featured" in front of one of the largest software communities in the US.

Folks have covered a lot of great territory in the comment section, so I guess I'll just spit out my question about the elephant in the room: who makes up the "shadowy" cabal of NYT editors and execs who pushed this piece? It does seem like for all intents and purposes they wanted to make an example. And of course, the journalist who had to put his name on the piece is not necessarily the one who drove the whole gambit.

The gambit is quite risky. As another commentator wrote, it's not necessarily out of character for the NYT as a prominent vassal of American politics; they lambasted MLK and later on got somewhat of a black eye for it. But in the age of the internet, I can't help but think all of their opponents will seize on their indiscretion and that any moderates will be a little alienated. For so many people who didn't know what SSC is beforehand, won't they take a read and won't some of them conclude that they see more of themselves in his writing than the hit-piece? Is the NYT aware of the Streisand effect and just doesn't care or even wants to push people further into a "with us or against us" polarization? My sad fear is that the latter is true.
As a professional cooker, I can confirm that vision is the most important part in tasting. I've read other studies that shows that taste is a brain build which include senses and feelings.

I wonder to which degree do the companies still consider remote work subpar and count the expected loss in output into the total remuneration.

It isn't a given that people will work less at home, lone introverted developers may actually increase their output, or people who were freed from constant interruptions at their workplace. But people with family, especially with young kids, may really be way less efficient when working remotely.
>His own cite of his comment about how there's a thin line between feminism and literally Voldemort is another good example. Yeah he's edited it and seems to be going for "it's just a joke bro", but if you live in the kind of bubble where you casually condemn the whole of "feminism" as an evil then you've probably got a weirdly fascistic friend group and/or auudience.

Ok, if it's a problem he's a practicing psychiatrist, that's an ethical issue HE has created by doing the blog. I don't think the NYT is responsible for running his practice ethically.

Don't make comments that jeopardize your business, then blame other people for "being irrational", when they correctly attribute those comments to you, it's simple accountability.

I can't find the reference off hand, but I once heard that it takes 7 years of operation for a solar panel to generate the same amount of energy to build a panel, .. and the energy that it takes to build one comes from ... guess what .. coal and gas.
Yeah, exactly. And living in the Bay Area really makes that plain.

I lived with a friend in San Francisco's Potrero Hill / Dogpatch neighborhood. The north side of the hill is one of the most desirable areas of the city and is one of those deliberately quaint neighborhoods that is pretty much 100% white. The south side has low-cost housing and is almost as uniformly black. [1]

My friend lived very near the top of the hill, where the character abruptly changed. Police sirens were common, but since it was all over on the other side of the hill, everything was okay and nobody even felt unsafe. Apparently whoever it is that makes trouble on that side knows never to come over to the other side, presumably since the police will bring down the hammer much harder.

Taking the bus into the city was embarrassing. The bus started on the "black side" and then came over to the "white side" on its way downtown. And half a century after Rosa Parks, the bus was voluntarily segregated with blacks at the rear. I got on the first "white" stop and was stunned to see how, every day, the entire bus was filled at the back with nobody at the front. One day I went to a different bus stop (just three blocks over!) and got a lot of stares, because this was obviously a "black" stop and I'd crossed the line.

I'm not saying Canada does it much better -- ethnic ghettos exist, and are often encouraged by realtors or even government policies. But I always felt like, in Canada, we all sort of knew that was a bad situation that had to be rectified eventually. If you asked a typical Obama-loving resident of Potrero Hill if they lived in some kind of cultural standoff that amounted to a separate regime for their black neighbors, they'd be shocked and offended.

"Comparatively just court system" !? Dude pull your head out of your ass, you're drinking some really dangerous Kool Aid. How was this 17 year old kid treated with any justice? The cops destroyed his private property and ruined his family's life to protect their own power-tripping asses.

The core of being American should be to question and challenge authority at every opportunity. It's why we have the First and Second Amendments. It makes me sick that so many Americans are spineless slaves to this dying corrupt government.

Indeed we had structural types in ES4 toward the end, and almost bluffed MS into folding (I'm told by a reliable source). But ES4 was trying for too much too soon.

At this point we really need to see ES6/7 and TypeScript + Flow "gene-culture co-evolution". As I said at the last TC39 meeting on the topic, big de-facto standard wins trump rushed de-jure standards any day.

"This 'irritating problem' of people claiming that they know _____ when they actually don't, is best solved with... drum roll... Source code. Don't tell me you know _____, show me what you did with _____.
Today that problem can be solved with Github, Sourceforge, Google Code or whatever."

That isn't really a complete solution to the problem, take my situation as an example: I've been working as a C# dev for some years now, but since the company I worked for ended up owning all the code, and since almost all the applications I helped create for them are internal, I have nothing to really show for it. Why don't I have any side projects I've done with C#? It's just simply not my first choice of language for personal projects due to the fact I have to use it so much on a daily basis; instead, I tend to go with lesser known languages that I'm certainly not as familiar with just because it makes writing some of the code a little more exciting. In essence, I'm claiming to know the language, but the only proof I can give is saying "Well, I used it daily for X amount of time".
The TL;DR I would give is this: Clojure is preferable when doing server-side performance-intensive software or in situations where its JVM library reach provides a significant advantage. Racket is a lot nicer for client-side stuff where you need a fast launch, lower memory profile, a GUI, or distributable executables.

If you already have a solid development environment set up and have spent a lot of time learning project management tools, you might have an easy enough time getting started with Clojure, but getting started with Racket tooling is easy even for children.

Clojure is a lot better out-of-the-box for FP, but Racket has third-party tools (like Rackjure and fector) that do a lot to close the gap. On the other hand, Racket has pattern matching out of the box which is really nice, but you can get that in Clojure as well using external libraries. One problem that you can't fix in a library is Clojure's omnipresent nil; Racket does a much better job of ensuring sensible semantics in error conditions, partly due to the fact that pattern-matching is built-in.
You might convince me that the nations of Europe have learned to stop hating each other, but the nations of East Asia are a far different story, and there is nothing in the region like the EU to encourage peaceful cooperation.

And as long as the US continues to interfere in the regional politics to the same degree, there may never be.
yeah, wtf indeed, i'm editing this because i gave away too much personal information in the post.
Yes but how is it legal to have multiple corpuses sitting on a gigantic server? Surely governments or even a LEA would want to regulate that? Having all that PII is like hoarding a bunch of radioactive waste.
Yeah, but even Stallman's opinion and understanding on the matter has changed over time (that was one of the first GPL enforcement actions). IIRC, FSF was one of the amicus briefs in favor of Google's position. They want to be able to replace proprietary software with compatible, open source clones piece by piece.

In fact a good chunk of the case law cited today hadn't even hit the courts yet at the time Stallman made that statement.
Same here. It helps to have a solid PDF viewer (I use Okular), but what's also really underappreciated is the vastly better typography in PDFs. I suppose it depends partly on the viewer, but epubs tend to be hot garbage to look at. Fortunately ebook-convert (from the Calibre project) generates great looking PDFs and lets you set a bunch of options like fonts and so on.

This is especially important if I'm on mobile, because I can create an easily readable PDF in portrait mode that works great with the Android default PDF reader, whereas the obvious choice to open epubs (Google Books) is terrible: it's slow and battery heavy, and requires you to upload the epub so that it can be converted into the native format. (Once the conversion process choked and I somehow ended up with a 1 GB file.)
So if I copy the entire A volume of Encyclopedia Britannica, but leave B-Z alone, I'm good?
> I don’t like it being proposed as a solved, no brainer when there should be considerations.

> I wish sites would present serious arguments rather than assuming simple, weak versions.

It seems to me that considerations on this matter has been seriously and carefully taken in recent years and you seem to be the one going against today's consensus. The charge of providing evidences that HTTPS is not always the right thing on the Web is therefore probably on you¹.

I care about both ecology (if this is your point?) / efficiency and privacy and still prefer that encryption by default. It seems to me that HTTPS is not a significant overhead.

But providing privacy to people who really need it (and not for the wrong reasons) without them looking suspicious is badly needed for a well-functioning society, and this includes good decisions related to ecology.

I would suggest you to build an HTTP-everywhere extension, but many websites will refuse to serve your requests on HTTP so…

1: I actually can see an issue for HTTPS everywhere, and this is that it makes websites unreachable to old devices. But there, outdated browsers are probably an obstacle too, and I guess it would be possible to set up some kind of HTTP proxy for them (?)
>> ...less capable than even 30 year old normal computers in terms of UI and networking capabilities.

> ... doesn't handle transient connections ...

Oh, so it's almost like phone computers can't maintain a connection and have bad networking. Specifically they have problems with TCP because it requires maintaining state and that uses the radio frequently and keeps the computer running which drains their tiny energy storage. But also because phone's UIs are so limited both by screen space and input that only one application really runs at once and background ones are gimped and disconnected.

You are agreeing with me but don't realize it.
And I likely used mine for much more activities than you used yours.

The trucks are often not maintained well mechanically so there is a real danger when sharing the road with them. Secondly, from my anecdotal experience they are driven carelessly and there is a genuine fear factor from them.

Also, Pakistani people generally have an avant-garde attitude towards flamboyancy. So this art kind of gets bucketed in that.
It does mean we stop adjusting the clocks twice a year. The question is, do we stick with standard time or daylight savings time.

A lot of the changeovers in NA seem to be leaning towards keeping DST year round. As a Canadian, the idea is certainly appealing. Currently it gets dark about 45 mins before work ends. Having a bit of sunlight when you leave is nice.

But as pointed out below, sticking with DST is probably worse for highschoolers.
Only OpenType with TrueType outlines (the common .ttf file) do - lines and quadratic curves is all you get. OpenType fonts with CFF/Type2 outlines (the equally common .otf files) use cubic curves instead, with an insanely rich instruction language for much better shape control.
> She's wrong to imply that if only SolarWinds had followed her iPad password policy, the attack would have been stopped.

I don't think she was implying that at all. She was highlighting that if they couldn't even do a basic thing like employing stronger, more complex passwords - how could they defend against Russians reading DoD emails.
But how would you make the pitch? Q: How does your research project proposal relate to national security? A: Bitcoin is a feat and I'm really interested in who started it.
> LapLink which used a special cable for the parallel port

One summer, I used a similar product called Brooklyn Bridge to hook our old 286 with 40 MB HDD to our 386 tower because I ran out of disk space. The filesystem mounted with no problems, and I played the VGA remake of Quest for Glory over it. It was unbearably slow, but I still thought it was awesome.
You can survive without, just.

For thermals you can create an equivalent electrical circuit and use SPICE. For power integrity you can mostly make do by cascading s-parameters and there is an Excel sheet floating around somewhere that'll give you s-parameters for a rectangular plane with two arbitrary connections. High-speed serial signal integrity is a bit harder, I will admit.
wq writes the current file and closes the current window (which quits vim if you happen to be on the last window). The command to close the current buffer is :bd(elete).

If you want to return to the previous file without closing the new file, you can just use :bp(rev) so that the new file also stays in memory.

Relevant man page is available at :help buffers.

>Also curious if there is a way to open the file as a new split screen rather than replacing the entire window?

CTRL-W f

Another remark: vim's shortcuts are organized in a way that you are often able to guess what the correct shortcut should be. CTRL-W is the common prefix for commands regarding split windows CTRL-W v/s for splits, CTRL-W CTRL-W cycle through windows. So naturally you can guess that CTRL-W f should be open file in split and CTRL-W ] should be jump to definition in split.

> Bizarrely, the buyer doesn’t leave empty-handed, because the scammer then actually sends them a much cheaper and nastier alternative handlebar bag – complete with tracking details and proof of delivery. This isn’t out of benevolence: it fulfils their contractual obligations, and removes the ammunition for buyers to dispute the transaction with PayPal or their bank.

I don't understand how it removes ammunition at all.

I show eBay or my bank a photo of what was advertised, a photo of what I received, the charge gets reversed, and if this happens too many times to the company they lose the ability to take credit cards or to list on eBay at all.

What am I missing? Is this specifically a bank account - PayPal - AliExpress combo or something? Marketplaces don't usually exist very long if they provide zero buyer protection from fraudulent/deceptive sellers.
And repeated letters are lame and childish (but we have been spared the exclamation points).
This paper describes a new schema-mapping technique for multi-tenancy called Chunk Folding, where the logical tables are vertically partitioned into chunks that are folded together into different physical multi-tenant tables and joined as needed. The database’s “meta-data budget” is divided between application-specific conventional tables and a large fixed set of generic structures called Chunk Tables.

Interesting idea.

It is a clear weakness with most (if not all?) popular frameworks that they don't support multi tenancy (of hosted business services) in any way what so ever.

This is utter heresy, but a small amount of uranium/plutonium/... in an efficient reactor produces a ridiculous amount of energy. If you're all about reducing shipping, shipping uranium and locally producing metal may seem a good idea.

I have no idea if this is what they're thinking about, though, and I imagine dealing with a aluminum smelter is an "interesting" project for the local electrical engineer anyway.
When you start your source file with a huge chunk of "how" comments it is likely to not match the actual code path. But that's not how I think the "documentation mode" will work. You write how comments for every small chunk of code. Then whichever code path the program executes, you will see a flow of comments from that path
I was gifted a Sony MZ-1 in the early 90s that I used until its death in 2020. It survived longer than the MagicLink and the little book reader they also sent. I often felt like the Sony of that era made up formats just so they could design cool gadgets that made use of them.

I remember using TOSLINK to write tones to a MiniDisc to use on the old Jupiter or Saturn Bells with the unmuted receivers back before MP3 and other digital audio players existed. I want to say we moved to a Creative Nomad, but it didn't have the same cyberpunk feel as discreetly swapping discs into a MD player.

Does anyone know if the masters used were unique MDs or the same as for CDs of the era? I've been wanting to create a FLAC library of MD rips, or at least recreate the playlists to burn onto some blanks if they're the same.

I got really deep into black soldier flies at some point and I can't understand why we are not turning organic waste into fly larvae. Larvae are 80%+ fat which means biodiesel + expensive chemical compounds like chitin. On the other end if you are processing industrial organic waste (supermarket waste included) according to EU laws since 2017 you can use those larvae as fish/chicke/pig/etc. feed. Using insects as feed would help reduce CO2 and other negative of fish and soy beans. I am sure I am missing something?
