> have some sort of mental disorder.

I'd step off that high horse.

I bet you use a credit card on the regular. All your purchases permanently recorded. And can be looked up on demand.

I bet you talk on a phone everyday. Every convo permanently saved and can be brought up on demand. Your face-to-face conversations can be listened to even when you turn off your phone, although that does not happen passively.

I bet you use the internet in such away that identifies yourself. Having your porn preferences permanently saved so they can be brought up on demand.

I bet you use google search. Everything you ever looked for permanently saved and can be brought up on demand.

I bet you use gmail, or some other email service.

Almost everyone gives up freedom for convenience. Unless you're living like a medieval monk you're just as mentally disordered.
Plenty of people have had to learn that lesson on various projects, time and again. Why stop now?

I don't know either, although wearing the simulator mentioned at the end of the article 24/7 for a few days might approach part of it. Maybe you can simulate the exhaustion by having an alarm on the vest wake you up every couple hours in the middle of the night, if you can even sleep with a 30+lb vest on! Bonus points if it can figure out how to kick your bladder right as you're about to sneeze.

I suspect I am a bit of an outlier though, as plenty of people have uneventful pregnancies. Although... I am finding that most of my friends experienced a lot of my pains and then forgot about it. Maybe mother nature will be kind enough to gaslight me so all I have are journal entries and HN/reddit comments complaining about this :)
Please don't draw conclusions about 'majority opinion' on HN unless you have actual data. Such perceptions are notoriously prone to bias, because the comments people notice most are the ones they most object to. I believe that's why the most adamant people on either side of a political divide tend to experience this place (and no doubt not only this place) as dominated by their opponents.
"Teen pregnancy prevention" is only seen as a universally good thing (as opposed to crypto-eugenic if practised on the right population) because you are encouraged to waste your fertile years in a cubicle / having anonymous Tinder hookups / building up your grad school CV.

Getting married & having a baby at 18 is significantly less costly than, say, getting a liberal arts degree & going to law school. The former allows you to do the schooling afterwards, if that's really your thing, plus you get to have a baby. The latter dramatically reduces your chance of ever reproducing, and is probably negative net payoff to boot.
It's almost as if young people like to have sex and simultaneously make poor decisions. How were robot babies supposed to change that exactly? You're not going to stop them from impulsively doing things, just have to make sure they have the tools to do it safely.
Trying to make OpenVPN easy to use is admirable. If you're interested in a public-key (RSA) config then it's currently just a disaster to setup, even with the "easy RSA" helper scripts. In my experience the --up and --down hooks and routing are also terrible. I invested hours trying to get it working with a persistent TUN device (so daemons could bind to the endpoint IP before the VPN was up), but OpenVPN is just too bloated and tries to do too much for you, getting in the way.

I recommend people give tinc a try instead. Specifically version v1.1-pre*. It's an absolute doddle to setup, uses Ed25519 key pairs, and plays much more nicely with traditional network configuration.

My "aha" moment when trying to understand channels in Go was when I realized that everything about how this feature is designed comes from their answer to the question "how could we 'fix' select() in C?". In fact, pretty much every feature in Go is designed to fix some perceived flaw in C, and that's the entire philosophy behind Go. They aren't interested in language theory, or in innovating or solving problems outside of C. They were just trying to write C 2.0. Not that that's a problem, it's just, it threw me off. When it came out, I fully expected Go to be a new competitor to Java or even Python, not to C.
It's defined in their (somewhat oddball) version policy: "MINOR: increased every christmas, may be API incompatible"[1]

I believe there exists an optimum methodology to optimize whatever the desired output KPIs are for a person at any given time and that what doesn't work for one is literally optimal for another person. Some people have achieved success with a methodology, some will fail miserably. Some people will do far better with a suboptimal method than many that find their optimum method as well. The question is about finding the solution as fast as possible for an individual and with the best accuracy.

Personally, I think I need some sense of urgency to perform deliberate, spaced practice reliably due to a strong history of what may be something like ego depletion (not really well supported). Pomodoro has worked better for me than most methods as long as I have sufficiently well crafted goals because it forces breaks as well as time boxing for results when I have a tendency to overengineer (along the same lines as SMART requirements). Like exercise, if you feel really comfortable, there's a strong possibility that you are not making the desired progress. In such cases, those that are motivated positively by the stressors are predisposed to improve over those that do not get motivated in such a manner even if that would be the most optimal technique globally.
Doesn't that just circle back around to poor education?
In the long run, perhaps, you may (I hope) be right. There's an interesting analogy that Nate Silver lays out in the beginning of The Signal and the Noise where basically, after the printing press, the availability of information to masses that didn't before have it exponentially increased way faster than "humanity" could adjust. (Obviously, this is massively simplified and leaves out all sorts of important things etc) Early on, much of what was (popularly) printed was religious. Then, the world was at war for a couple centuries before the enlightenment happened and some semblance of stability arose from the changed complex system humans had found themselves in.

Now, with the internet, we're at the beginning of another such monumental shift in information access. The cynic in me finds it likely that shit gets worse before we, as a species, find a new balance point. I mean, either we learn to live with all varieties of each other in peace (which is what I think you're saying), or we end up blasting ourselves into extinction. No?

That's my body right now though, which sucks, and I can't share the burden with anyone yet - down to using up all the sample nursing pads due to leakage. Plus having to roll around in my office chair to go to the bathroom when I'm having a bad pain day. And nausea 24/7 (what "morning" sickness?). I know most folks have it easier than me, I got the shit end of some sticks (to the point my OB wanted me to take disability leave if I was still working).

I can only hope that most of this isn't permanent and that the actual birth isn't too traumatic.

It's not just PHP. It's too easy to do in many languages. It almost seems odd there isn't a 'libsodium but for DB access' or 'linter that makes your CI server explode on dangerous DB API use'. Things like that don't have to be foolproof but they'd be better than the current anything-goes default.

Ok, fair enough, Fido does seem a lot cheaper than Rogers. But a 'normal' phone plan including minutes and SMS seems to start at $55/month for 3GB, which is eye wateringly expensive. That would be £10/month in the UK.

I pay £20/month for 20GB data, unlimited sms/calls, and there's actually better deals available than that now (30GB for £18/month with unlimited roaming, sms and calls).

On fido that would be $300+.

As part of a couple who struggled to have children in our 30s, I think it's sad that society isn't making that the norm, when younger people are perfectly capable of having children. We married at 25 and bought into the bullshit pressure of building a super career, etc.

The other thing that gives me pause is that if my kids follow current trends, it's likely that I'll be dead fairly early in my future grandchildren's lives, which is a sobering thought.

the thing about condoms is they need to be on hand and free.

I'm not going to put off what little random chance pussy I get because I don't have a condom, and I've always been too poor to spend 15 bucks on a pack of condoms I'll likely never use.

I grew up in Arizona where sexual education consisted of a 10 minute video shown to me in the 5th grade and there were no clinics passing out freebies.
GTD and Inbox Zero never felt like "time management" strategies to me, they're more like methodologies for very specific use cases like your email and to-do list. While they do help you manage the email flow coming in and what you have to do in your life that might slip by, they don't really teach you how to manage the rest of the time that it takes to actually do stuff in your life.

My time management is basically a combination of Inbox Zero, GTD, and "extreme calendaring". Every (working) morning, I spend about a half hour processing my email and either replying to/reading messages or delegating replies/reads for the future. I delegate reading email by moving the messages into a folder called "Deferred", which I will go through at the end of the day to read anything that I might not have wanted to get into in the morning due to lack of time. To delegate writing replies, I will typically archive the message and start a reply to it in Drafts. I might also remind myself to reply to the email at a specific time or when I get home.

My "inbox" for GTD is the Reminders list on my iPhone. Using Siri, I typically tell my phone to remind me to do things at various times or when I arrive at home/work/the grocery store/etc. Every Sunday, I block out about two hours to go through this list and do any tasks that aren't scheduled for a certain time. Reminders that have a schedule are expected to be done at that time, and reminders set for me to do when I arrive somewhere should be done pretty much immediately upon arrival.

But the real trick to time management is using the Calendar. I block off time during the day to do certain things, and by default, I get notified when I have to do them. I've conditioned myself to just start working on whatever my calendar tells me to do when I get an event notification, and I attempt to put in things like travel times and longer/multiple alerts to remind me to get ready for longer events or for traveling to events. I'm a programmer in my day job and a musician at night, so I'm already used to being responsive to my calendar, but the music business doesn't really work like that. I have to put in all my appointments, like mixdowns, rehearsals, gigs, meetings, etc., in my own calendar if I want to make it to everything on time and not look like a space cadet.

So while GTD and Inbox Zero help my calendaring be more efficient, the real secret sauce to me keeping my life together is my calendar.

You will have to explain why you think currency would become worthless. That would be a monetary problem, not a fiscal one. Basic income is financed with debt and taxes, and monetary policy remains a separate concern.

We have already done things like basic income in the USA:

- Earned Income Tax Credit

Because many developers don't honestly believe that SQL represents a code execution boundary. Much of the time, the tendency is to think of SQL as simple I/O with a disk. And one rarely needs to worry about escaping interpretted expressions when streaming into and out of an I/O pipe.

They don't think of it as "executable code" because of the limited and monotonous nature of CRUD operations typically associated with data persistence.

They just think of it as yet another inconvenient form of declaritive data already at rest. Perhaps akin to mark-up. Raw data, like XML.

With JSON, some developers innately clue themselves in, because JavaScript, but they don't honestly understand the root of the hazard. They're just thinking FIRE BAD! Then they hack some JSONP into place because it's fun to do that sort of thing.

Most novice developers (my younger self included, tisk tisk) strongly resist protections against even HTML injection, until they see a massacre play itself out in the real world, when someone drops the ball.

Lots of languages have easy string interpolation, and don't do anything to prevent that being used around sql statements. I'm not sure why php is being called out in this particular case. Sure, it has warts, but in this specific area, it's no better or worse than most languages. It supports bind variables and the documentation pushes you that way.
That moral proscription is a feature of the Industrial Age. Prior to that, an unmarried 20 year old woman was an considered an old maid in many circles.

Multigenerational families solve many problems but create others, especially if the woman is joining the husbands family. That said, in the the US today the model where you pay 25% of your income to have a 20-something watch your kid while you work is certainly not a sustainable model.

yes, Golang is really can be viewed as c plus.
But it also absorbs many features from other languages.

Personally, I think Golang is a Java killer. I never write one line Java code since I became familiar with Go. The main reason is it is painful to maintain a Java web project, slow compiling, slow startup, large memory consuming, so many concepts (of all sorts of frameworks) to learn, etc.

Is it even possible to delete a FB account? I know someone who deletes their FB all the time. Every time they log in there it is again.

Unless, if you don't log in after X months/centuries it's completely removed, but I don't see why FB would do that. Apparently, according to what I've read here, even people without FB accounts have FB accounts (shadow profiles).

I have heard vintners say "water the vine, ruin the wine."

The theory as explained to me was that if the plants have enough water they make uniform grapes and that makes for a very dull wine. But let them struggle and the complexity multiplies making for a very good wine.

Scott McNealy at Sun felt that way about engineering. Engineering was always asked to do more than it could with insufficient time or budget. The effect of that was a natural prioritizing of what did get budget or time and a lot of creativity in how the goals might be met. I realized in my own life that if I don't put a deadline on something, even an artificial one, things can get stuck. And sit there stuck forever. The deadline forces me to go back and try a different solution to get it across the finish line.

Yes it is a "lame mental trick" but one that for me is effective.
This is kind of nit-picky, but I think it might be closer to the collective we can't ever really know The Truth (about any big meta issues), but just about everybody is convinced they know and have that truth right (and by extension, most other peoples have that truth wrong).

Which is to say, the brain equates beliefs to truths, which is an extremely difficult-to-overcome fallacy. (And, I suspect, therein lies the solution, if there is one.) Paradoxically, of course, life also wouldn't really be all that practical to live out if our brains didn't make such an overly simplistic jump.

So, yea, not really disagreeing with you on the cognitive capabilities part. But I'm also not convinced there's no such belief structure out there that isn't capable of solving this pickle. Implementing and spreading said system of beliefs - if it exists and without starting a bunch of wars in the process, of course - is the harder part.
I can definitely believe that people think Facebook is spying on them through their microphone, because it's the most obvious answer. Most people don't know anything about how tracking works and how Facebook tailor ads to you, but everyone knows how a microphone works.
