"Find a desperate woman raised to be subservient and isolate her to preserve control"

Gosh what awful, scary, and horrible advice. You'd have to be an awful, scary and horrible person to think this is a good thing.
Just did it. Cmd+Space to bring up Spotlight. Type "Syste" and hit [enter]. The search box in the top-right corner should be active. [Tab] to it if it's not. Type in "Mouse" and arrow down to "Make mouse and trackpad easier to use". Hit [enter]. Hit [Tab] twice to move focus to "Enable Mouse Keys". Spacebar.

I have a feeling that I got lucky. There's another setting under "Keyboard" > "Accessibility", at the bottom, called "Full Keyboard Access". Mine is set to "All controls". I have a feeling yours is set to "Text boxes and lists only", which may be the default.

So I am kinda proving your point here :)
Getting back in
I've been away from SW Dev/DBA/Testing for four years, due to personal circumstances and to be honest, a bit of a melt down. But now i've recovered and desperate to get back to work. How can I do this without basically lying on my CV/Resume.
Exactly. And for 90% or more of situations, all lists would likely agree.

But if my doctor wants me to take a drug that is whitelisted by only one of the lists and perhaps blacklisted by one, and gray-listed by others, I'd certainly want to dig a bit deeper and fully understand the tradeoffs I was getting into.

Some might say that is too much "work" for me as a patient. I'd certainly welcome the chance to have the chance to think about taking something that wasn't an obvious whitelist choice for all.

I think the desire on the part of many humans to simply put all their trust in one authority figure our institution comes from the same primitive drive that made our ancestors kneel before emperors and makes some wish to kneel before supernatural emperors.
I remember once reading that investing in Monster Energy Drink stock 10 years ago produced a greater return than any of the FANG stocks.

PR Nightmares: When Political Correctness Goes Too Far
You seem to be completely misunderstanding ethics. Just because you 'can' do something does not mean it should be done or is ethical to do so. You 'can' break into your neighbor's house and steal <whatever>. Just because you have that capacity does not make it suddenly ethical to do so, even if they leave their doors unlocked.

GP didn't say that strangers on the internet are bound by ethics. Ethics are not a thing we are 'bound' by. They are a value judgment we make based on whatever social contract we think we have with those around us.

If passphrase complexity is "too low", that's also a judgment. There are no universal truths about what is adequate complexity. What you think is adequate today will not be adequate tomorrow. If someone's passphrase was inadequate and was cracked, was it ethical for the cracker to take advantage of it? If the passphrase passed a certain complexity, did it suddenly become unethical?
Try doing this: http://osxdaily.com/2010/02/26/use-the-tab-key-to-switch-bet...

Then when I go to the panel, I tab and it only highlights the left-side of the portion. Confused me at first but after mashing some keys I found that you need to press up/down on the left page to select the "mouse portion" THEN tab again and it will go "into" the place with the mouse keys.

There are tons of ways that unmodified software will deanonymize you. For example, WebRTC and Flash can leak your true IP from your browser. Fingerprinting attacks are possible with lots of network-enabled software.
1) Put yourself out there. Get involved in activities you care about and try to meet people. Network through your friends and family. Take a chance and ask potential partners out. You will never get anywhere if you don't try.

2) Build friendships before looking for a relationship. It's generally much easier to find friends than a partner. A relationship isn't the solution to loneliness -- friends are.

3) Be someone people want to date. Find some interesting hobbies. Identify your flaws and work on fixing them.

4) Set realistic expectations. Your mental idea of what it will be like to have a steady partner is a lot different than what it's really like, so don't filter out potential partners too soon. Give things a change to develop.
I actually work in this industry[0], with a few of the major brands, and... it's 80% marketing.

Unlike beer, where smaller is often "better" (as in more flavorful, more innovative, more unique, more interesting - but definitely not more consistent);

Most of the new "distilleries" are actually non-distilling bottlers - simply taking (and sometimes ageing) distilled spirits from MGP[2] (the former Seagram Distillery).

Consider - how can a ~5 year old brand have bottled and distributed 15 year old or 25 year old spirits?

This is a real problem in the industry, as 1) it's false marketing, and 2) the equipment needed to make great spirits is not nearly as affordable, and is much more a function of scale, then it is in other industries. So the craft distillery with the 12 foot still and 5 plates really can't compete with the large distillery with a 35 foot still and 15 plates (that's the level of control they have over their process and thus their flavor profile).

And thus, with these "fake" craft spirits - it's the consumers (you and I) that get screwed - we pay extra for a fake premium brand available for much less - the identical spirit, on the same shelf, with the same flavor profile, just under a different name.

and in case anyone is interested: my company helps real distilleries, breweries, and coffee / chocolate makers, optimize their flavor profiles and consistency through predictive manufacturing[1]. Feel free to reach out![3]

No, they don't know whether the player "null" was male or female, therefore they used the pronoun "they", which is correct.
Update your perspective.

It's women not girls.

And stop thinking of yourself as some sort of exception. You are not. And that notion is making an artificial distance between you and others.

You are just another human. Your experience and your place on the bell curve is neither exceptional nor terrible.

Loneliness and vulnerability are Universal. They form some of the basis of your connection with others. Stop trying to avoid them.

Forget girls and focus on building basic social skills. Join a club or something. Like any other skill you will suck at it at first and then get better with learning and practice. Being introverted doesn't mean you're incapable of interacting with other people, it just means you have to push yourself to get good at it.
Well, sadly this does seem like the logical result of college being a purely commercial endeavor for all concerned.

Colleges are closer and closer to the situation where they don't care about being anything but skill-certifiers, certainly they don't worry about becoming places where learners begin maturing and taking their place in an enlightened society.

In this environment, what will make the student respect the university's requirements?
I use both but don't use Reddit for tech news. From my personal experience on hacker news the contrary opinion does surface a lot more in the discussions and people only join a conversation when they feel something needs to be added to the discussion rather than piling on the side of the popular opinion.
Such valuation runs counter to the beverage’s history. Unlike single-malt scotches and other liquors, rye has been decidedly anti-aspirational—its most common mixers were failure, disappointment, and regret. But the cyclical nature of the Next Cool Thing to Order at a Bar has put rye in the spotlight (it was a favorite of Don Draper), and WhistlePig is the fanciest you can buy."

I mean I don't even know where to start.

I guess I'd start by pointing out that one of the most highly-regarded whiskies in the world, and one of the hardest to get, is the Buffalo Trace antique series Thomas Handy Sazerac rye. And Thomas Handy isn't the only "fancy" rye you can get; besides (obviously) Saz 18, the other Buffalo antique rye, there's also Booker's Limited Edition.

Unlike WP, which is NDP Veblen whiskey, all of those bottles are hard to get because they are legitimately outstanding and coveted not just by assholes (who do abound in whiskeyland) but also by people who are serious about the spirit. They're also traceable (unlike WP and unlike Pappy or Black Maple Hill or any of a number of other high-priced NDP whiskies) and they're gimmick-free.

Don't want to spend $300 on a bottle? Buy Anchor's Old Potrero, which is a single malt rye from San Francisco of unassailable quality and lineage. Or buy Few, down the street from me in Chicago; it costs half as much as Old Potrero, is 70% rye, and is one of the best new spirits on the market --- produced entirely in house, by a tiny operation.

I also call total horseshit on the idea that there's real merit in Beam's rye mashbill being 100% rye. Handy is closer to 50% than 100%, and zero is the number of reasonable people who would take a dram of WhistlePig over half a dram of Handy.

"Double barrel". "Any longer and it tastes like sticks". Jiminy. Tell that to the Scots. Woodford Reserve --- another brand you should trust more than WhistlePig any day of the week --- does an experiment edition where they'll sell you the same rye spirit aged in two different barrels, one new oak and one old oak. You get the point just by looking at the two bottles: the old-oak aged whiskey is light and the new oak is dark. Aging in ex-whiskey barrels extracts very little additional flavor, because the first round of aging strips it out. But the bottle aged in new oak is mahogany brown and full of flavor, because there's still flavor there to extract. Switching the whiskey to a new oak barrel halfway through the aging would increase the "sticks" flavor. But odds are, that's not what they're actually doing, because new oak, or any barrel with real character (ask High West where to find them), is expensive.

The rye market is rife with NDP brands marketing other people's spirit as "craft" and somehow unique. Templeton does it do, and their uniqueness is a fucking chemical flavor additive. It's all factory whiskey. That's fine! Factories make some of the best whiskey there is. But don't pay a premium for a bullshit marketing story. And don't ever pay extra for WhistlePig.
Hi rdtsc, I'll write a detailed article about the implementation, as I said in the original article. When it's ready, I'll put here, ok?

Yet another piece of ukrainian 'journalism' trying to ridicule those calling new ukrainian government 'fashists'. In Ukraine there is nothing wrong these days to be a nazi or a 'patriot' how they call themselves. There are plenty of evidence on the web how pro-nazi volunteer battalions came to Donbass to kill those who didn't support new government came to power in the result of coup d'état in February 2014. Neo-nazis in Ukraine are respectable people, they have connections with the government, recently neo-nazi battalion Azov has been integrated into Interior Ministry as special police battalion.

Here is very good investigation of Ukrainian blogger that lives in Europe about nazis in Ukraine. But in Ukrainian media reality they are 'patriots' or 'activists'.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tJphAe9h0w

Ukrainian 'journalists' often drop inconvenient fact that the government after February 2014 is illegal and people of Donbass did not recognize it. And the protests in Donetsk and other cities started only when ultra nationalist Oleg Tyagnibok announced that the very first thing the will do in the Parliament is that they are going to cancel the regional status for Russian language and they actually did it.
Disclaimer: I type slower than you (~80 wpm) and I have no idea whether this will help you, but it's helped me get to where I am without any formal training in typing. And I never went through a hunt-and-peck phase...it always felt natural to use all 10 of my fingers.

That said, have you thought about taking up the piano? I feel like the dexterity that I develop playing the piano, particularly the ability to very quickly play repeated and alternating notes, has helped me to type faster. It should also help with rhythm, since piano keys need to be correct in both location and time to sound correct. If you're only interested in the effect on typing, you can avoid music with lots of chords and focus mostly on songs that have a quick tempo.

Public service announcement: Golang leaks your private informations

That's so weird -- everything's the same for me up until the Tab part. When I press Tab, nothing happens. "Mouse & Trackpad" just stays highlighted.

Edit: See nearby replies -- the reason you were able to do this is that you had previously changed a default setting which has no obvious way of being changed without a mouse.
I might be wrong, but Hipp does accept patches in a different way. On the Fossil SCM mailing list, I've seen him (and other contributors who have commit access) get patches from users and incorporate them into the project.

They do mention the user who contributed the patch instead of actually assigning the commit to him, though. Does that count somehow?
Agree with improving first impressions. Being in decent shape + clean haircut + clean dress + smelling clean are very important. Those things are universally recommended.

Besides those things, read a lot of books / watch Youtube videos on attracting women. Some are obnoxious and border on misogyny, but even those materials have teaching points.
I'm at my early 30s, and I finally had a relationship this year. but after few months in this relationship, I started to miss "lonely" days. my altitude now is rather being alone than being in an imperfect relationship. I listed all things made me happy and I care most, including understanding new computer science theory, being able to draw and play instruments or starting a company. being alone lets me focus on these things and polish myself.

I start to think that relationship might not be an necessity of life. I also don't have the incentive to have kids.
That's nonsense. The only two differentiators were the minimalistic UI (at a time when load speed of a web page was noticeable) and the better quality of the results. There were a bunch search engines already, all of them with a search box where you typed stuff and got a list of results.
There's the old saying - boxing matches are won in the gym, not the ring.

You'll have to work on understanding other people and their needs, and make yourself have the attributes that make a good partner.

There is something of a chicken and egg here. Before I had a girlfriend, I understood girls poorly. Now I think I'm not so bad. From being with my girlfriend so long, I might have an easier time talking to girls now than guys. It's really just a learning curve.

The thing to do would be to learn without the pressure, ie non-dating relationships like female friends or family. They'd be able to answer you better than HN!
This service is probably using the Lob API https://lob.com/services/postcards

It actually costs $1.62 to do the exact same thing, of sending a photo with some text, international included.
This was a process I started about 10 years ago but I'm married with two kids so I'd say it was successful.

I decided that if I were going to attract someone I had to be comfortable with myself. I did an honest appraisal and there were some things I didn't like, so I focused on myself for a while. I lost weight, started dressing better, and went out to more meetups, parties, etc. At first I used alcohol to help me loosen up and I practiced talking to people. It was difficult at first but I learned how to hold longer and more interesting conversations and without relying on booze or any other crutches.

I also practiced "fake it until you make it". I recited to myself all the awesome things about me and started taking pride in who I was, and in my newfound personal growth.

I expressly forbade myself from attempting to get a girl's phone number or have any kind of relationship, even just one time sex. With all the pressure off I found it easier and easier to not care what other people thought and just be myself. I would go out and talk to anyone in any situation and leave them with a smile. Every interaction was a learning opportunity.

The more confident I became the more people wanted to be my friend and hang around me. I made several women friends and one of them introduced me to my wife.

It seems like a cliche but it is true: the more you desperate you are to have a relationship the less likely anyone will want to have one with you. When you learn how to accept yourself and be OK with being alone that confidence is attractive.
Indeed -- if it's set to the default (Text boxes and lists only), there seems to be no discoverable way to change the setting, and thus no discoverable way to turn on Mouse Keys.

(The non-discoverable way is to press Ctrl-Fn-F7; it's non-discoverable because the only place these instructions are shown is the Keyboard -> Shortcuts tab, but you can't get to that tab without a mouse.)
9 out of 10 recommendations for me are terrible. They're either videos I've already watched or they're garbage designed to entice 13 year olds like "Top 10 Boobs In Movies." I assume this is caused by watching a lot of let's play and other game videos.

The recommendation system can't seem to handle outliers but maybe that's asking too much of current technology.
It's actually a common perspective from the "manosphere" on sites like ReturnOfKings and RooshV. Chateau Heartiste also comes to mind. They were very interesting reads but some of the writings were too hostile for my taste.

Figure 3 illustrates that the variable sized watch history is combined with an average operation. This is partially why the embeddings need to be so large - in order to retain information after averaging, you need lots of dimensions to spread out disparate items.

This is of course not optimal, as the network should be able to learn how best to summarize the sequence. In the paper, however, we emphasize the importance of withholding certain sequential information from the classifier.
It's a monad in Rust too (with Some being return, and and_then[1] being >>=). Rust's generics just aren't yet[2] flexible enough to abstract over monads within the language.

When I hear about rewrites, I always think about this comment:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11554288
What I gathered from the article is that some of the services maintain a public posture they are doing what amounts to contract research, and they make the customer agree that the material won't be used for cheating. Ethically, of course they know what's going on, but they seem to have sheltered themselves from a legal perspective.
Nothing wrong with it at all.

But realize that companies do not give you these 'perks' like free food, games, laundry, etc. as a bonus. It is to keep you at work for more and more hours.

Honestly, I don't think it is a bad thing if you do enjoy this sort of thing and are young without kids, wife, etc.

The problem is that it creates the 'bro' culture that turns off anyone who isn't in the same demographic. When most of the team is staying late, bonding with COD, those that don't - the 40 year old who needs to pick up his kid, or the 25 year old woman who doesn't play XBox - tend to be excluded as time goes on.

To be completely honest, I've always thought the complaints of sexism in tech were completely bullshit.

But when I look at things as a mid 30's guy who is already seeing hints of ageism and really have no desire to stay 'till 10pm playing video games, I have to wonder if maybe I was somewhat wrong, and maybe the typical SV software environment is somewhat toxic for anyone not a 25 year old guy - females included.
Then again, considering we have limited resources for dealing with this problem, pretending all users are the same when we damn well know they aren't is probably not the most efficient approach.
Sometimes a better approach is to wrap the system you want to deprecate rather than have a parallel implementation. First, because you might not fully comprehend the current implementation to replicate it. Second, because in real life often there's not enough time, budget and coordination between teams to migrate old clients.

Since their main requirement was having a REST API for new clients, and apparently the old implementation worked fine, they could have implemented a EJB -> HTTP layer on top, and have new features talk straight to the DB. Eventually, they replicate all the features talking straight to the DB (w/ the added benefit they can test against the codepath going thru the old system). Finally, death by phagocytosis.
George Orwell and the whiff of genius
To talk about ethics completely independent of ability is to divorce philosophy from reality.

If I can brute force a password with a TI-83, then that should be a different conversation than if I can do so with a few hundred million dollars, a backbone tap, and a government cluster.

To argue otherwise is navel-gazing about whether the red I see is the same red you see. Maybe? But more importantly, what does it matter?
That's pretty smart! I can totally see myself using this service. Using an SMS interface instead of an app or a website is great, as it is inherently cross-platform, and reduces time to market and maintenance work.
It really is a confusing title for the project. It's more of a high speed interchange format e.g. send data to Cassandra from Spark or Storm.
