Eric Zemmour, a French political writer and polemist (he has controversial views on immigration and such, but is right on other topics), speaks about this in great detail in his book "The First Sex" (a reference to Simone de Beauvoir's "The Second Sex") He explains how capitalism has taken the "useful idiots" of feminism and used them to first turn women into workers (hence doubling the amount of consumers as it created a population with a newfound salary) and then feminised men to turn them into passive materialists. Men are no longer the authority, they are less and less the breadwinner, they are encouraged to be more feminine, to be more passive than aggressive, to be sensitive and open with their feelings, all emasculating them even further. Then he cites studies of the sharp rise of men who have trouble getting an erection, of the sharp rise in divorces and people no longer wanting to have a family of their own. He connects, in a somewhat Marxian manner (without the communist solution that Marx proposes) that unbridled capitalism destroys the nuclear family under the false kings of individualism and liberty. If you're interested in this stuff, Freud also talks about this: he claims Civilisation should channel men's aggressive tendencies, not suppress them (as we are doing now). The result in doing the latter will mean men will find other ways to rebel, and it will be against civilization instead of being used to enhance it.
Enough with this Whataboutism.

Nah, i'd hire the guy with the 1 liner over the guy with the robust architecture any day. A robust architecture is great and all, but I think it should be built after a need for it has been proven.

When I was a junior developer, I was just trying to get code to work. When I learned design patterns, and had some bad experiences, then I started architect "robust" architectures for everything. After perhaps 6 or 7 years of doing this, I started to question my insanity. Sure there were several instances where I was like "Damn, really glad I built it like that" but there were an equal amount where it just ended up turning a simple problem into a complex problem. There's no good excuse for that.

So now, I go high school simple first, and college hard later. If it means I have to do some rework, fine. I'm okay with a little rework, because in the end it aggregates to a simpler platform that took less time to build.
That's exactly what we need, a Hello world of the blockchain technology. Everybody talks about these data structures while it's very rare to find concrete example of even a simple implementation. It's not helping to be said go look at bitcoin source code.

I don't think it's reasonable to suggest they'd just take everyone if the need is so great. Culture matters and if you get the wrong type of personalities in you could jeopardize your team and end up losing the, for lack of a better term, better bunch of the group.

He goes on to say get as close as you can to the truth by dissecting the raw data for yourself. It's one more sentence, read it buddy. You can do it.
>I think you're giving too much importance to something quite insignificant here, his race and background.

It's not insignificant. People from non-privileged backgrounds know that things can happen to them if they cross some lines.

If it was a black man in the 60's (same era as Mott) he would know that he could be beaten up for just going to the wrong restaurant, or sitting at the wrong side of the bus, in his own home country.

Which means he would for that reason alone think thrice about crossing an international border of a cold war enemy illegally...

I am distinguishing the TPTB from the masses. The TPTB failed and Trump was chosen. Now they need to ensure that a similar thing does not happen again in the future.

And the TPTB exceed the political leaders. I mean the ones that really run the country.

The refusal to investigate is so common. It's doubly sad because when it is at the benefit of the other party, investigations are usually thorough.

If you read TRP there is really nothing to see in this article at all. It's nothing but confirmation of what we already know. Socio-economic status is what matters to women. It's an evolutionary adaptation that's still in play.
Being "allowed" and actually being capable are two very different things. This is essentially what the Existentialist philosophers have been lamenting. The great mass of people, if they're allowed to go off the rails, will simply crash.
It sounds like manufacturing jobs left, so the men have no jobs, but the women still have jobs. Yes?

Why won't the men compete for the jobs the women are getting?

Alternatively, the men could stay home and take care of the kids while the women work at the jobs they have, providing the stable two-parent household.

It seems like a large portion of the problem is tied up in men's idea of what constitutes a "manly" role. I don't mean to trivialize the difficulty of changing one's perspective, but changing diapers has to be a better option than dying from an Oxycontin overdose doesn't it?
The w is for ware? I guess I can see that.

Yeah, let's concentrate on a single incident from the cold war 60 years ago, and forget the yearly deaths to this day on our side.

Because whataboutism.

And also they're mexican, and our side deemed it OK to kill them, so they would have their reasons.

(As I wrote before, invocation of whataboutism is the laziest intellectual excuse to put things in perspective and to be vigilant about all sides. It's "lalala" hands on the ears denial pretending to care).

Free writing is a process where you set a specific time and just write without worrying about the content.

I found that it is a really useful technique to break writer's block. So I build this app last weekend. Definitely lot of improvements can be done. Open to feedback.
Your opinion is more about magic than computer science.
I think there's a lot of men who'll do anything to have a regular sex partner and a sense of purpose. Unfortunately, the sense of purpose society prescribes men is that of sole provider for a woman and 2-3 kids. Men are as much a victim of the societal power structures that pressure us all as women in this sense - an assertion that masculinity is intrinsically linked to this rather oppressive structure causes issues for men who don't fit into the structure.
The last two sentences left a very sour taste in my mouth. Don't paint a naive adventurer mindset as some sort of white, male, American "privilege."

Have you ever talked to people who live in the projects? They have little hope. There is no "industry of some sort".
I don't believe that either. It's such a specific question - I don't know if even Facebook or Google would ask such a question in their interviews.

This guy you just linked to has posted 11K tweets in the past; obviously an attention/status seeker. Also his follow-up tweet gave it away:

"So @Twitter I can now get the blue tick, yes?"

He almost didn't get any retweets before his 5 minutes of fame.

>It shouldn't really "do" anything. Who needs a programming language with any abilities! That's not what languages are for!

Everything you have available in software (and/or hardware) is the result of some of those languages that "don't do anything" and don't have "any abilities".

You want a "a language that lets [you] just describe what [your] executable should do - and then give [you] that executable".

That's exactly what existing languages already do -- the description happens in the language's syntax.

If you want a declarative description in physical language, you actually want a programming team, not a language. And the description is called a "design document" or "functional requirements".

You will get those when AI replaces programmers. And even then only as much as any set of loose language can be translated to a precise behaving program.

Don't hold your breath for either.

For all the misplaced sarcasm I don't think you understand how computers work.

I, and many others in here, can write a language like one of those you mention (Perl, C, etc). Can you write one like you described you want? You know, to show us all how it should be done, and how we're idiots for now offering it to you?

Reminds me more of those freshmen that hear about assembly being faster and want to rewrite everything, OS, apps, etc in assembly, because faster.
That's very clever! The men will for sure be happier.

Not necessarily. A woman might be better off holding out for someone with a job. Especially when she isn't already pregnant.

Sure, there are lots of people in a given year that move or die and are not immediately purged from their previous voter roll. There's no one serious suggesting that multiple registrations and fraud have impacted any election results.

If you're married to the state, then you vote for more of the state. It's one of the many examples where liberty has been eroded in recent decades, but few talk about it because it's a sensitive topic.

As you said, they adapt "generationally".

If we assume that means the next generation adapts, what's the current one to do with its remaining 40-60 years, except for voting for Trump?
Yes many men were opposed and many of them even severely punished for that opposition.

The point however still stand - both wars and political parties who brought them in had a lot of support. Not just from women. Those revolutions and wars did not just randomly happened out of nothing. People, not just women, wanted them.

Also, many German veterans from wwi wanted the war, wanted to reverse humiliation they felt after loosing. Some were opposed, but opposition was not universal among them.

It wasn't just escape from powerty, it was something meant to give their lives meaning, building imperium and all that crap.
It's not just a changing of one's perspective. It's the destruction of your whole identity. It feels incredibly jarring and like you're going insane. It's what people with personality "disorders" have to go through to "fix" themselves to fit society.
Is it just men's idea of a "man's role" that's a problem? The article seems to suggest women's preferences are also in play.

Tales of Job Burnout: How to Fix the Aftermath of an Overachiever Attitude
The traditional gender roles that formed alongside our evolution are broken today: men still crave women's affection, but women no longer need men to provide them. Because of this we were able to abolish traditional marriage, which was the only thing that kept the society sane. Yes, women were oppressed, but not without reason: women are hypergamous by nature.

There's a non-negligible population of fully grown virgin men with very little chance of marriage or reproduction. Can you give them a reason to work and be productive? Can you give them a reason to live? Mark my words, we'll hear more and more about lonely men going on shooting sprees or committing suicide (if anyone cares enough to report them).
>> The article claims the effect of varying employment levels on society are different depending on gender- lower male employment means lower marriage rates. Lower women employment means higher marriage rates.

That's not a claim, it's a fact. You need to study evolutionary psychology. Women seek a man to provide and protect. Period. Other qualities are in play too, but I'm talking about an evolved need. You take away the ability of a man to provide and protect and he becomes shit to a woman. You take away the womans ability to provide for herself and she becomes more dependent on marriage to get by. Why does this gender difference exist? Because being pregnant and caring for children both make women more vulnerable and detract from their self preservation ability. Hence the evolved family structure that works.
It was not scientific hypothesis nor proposal for research, it was statement of opinion presented as fact.
> Supposing the experiment doesn't end in failure and twist society. Though even if it does, we'll self correct. After all, nature still rules us.

Well that's the problem, isn't it? The self-correction is for nature to destroy us so that something else can take our place.

It's completely possible for births to be below the population replacement rate until the people die out. It already is in first world countries save for immigration, and that can't save you if the third world industrializes and automates to the point they're in the same situation.

If we don't want that to happen we may have to start finding ways to enable people to marry and have more children.
Very cool project! I'm just getting started with Go and my target platform is the Raspberry Pi (and other low-powered ARM boards). Will the newly-announced Zero W support this?
No matter how much feminism pretends otherwise, women are not keen to form lasting relationships with unemployed men.

The reality on the ground is that many women consider extended unemployment a good-enough reason to end a marriage.

A cynical but not unrealistic view is that humans tend to display loyalty to performed roles in relationships, not to individuals.

If one individual stops performing their assigned role, the relationship ends.
I thought, but I could be wrong, that UK cookers use a radial spur with a dedicated breaker, and that sometimes those breakers also include a standard regular wall socket, but this socket (and the cooker) are still on their own radial spur.

The cooker should never be connected to a normal kitchen ring main.
Yes, also for men without college degrees. Even most welfare clients are better off than an average man in 1776, 1861, 1914, 1940 etc. and they in turn had way better lives than men in the stone, bronze, or iron ages and men in the Medieval period.

I wouldn't even want to change for a successful young, white American male in the 1960s or whenever America was at its industrial peak.

Look, we are so lucky at this point in time in the Western world. Far from everything is great, but we live long lives in comfort, mostly painless, mostly without death or disease or hunger, mostly without war, we date around for fun during a decade or two, travel as we like, wherever we like, get entertainment on demand, chose our own profession, before we marry out of love when we are in our 30s or even 40s. Kings would envy our comfortable lives and I bet even Cary Grant would envy the dating life of a regular young man armed with Tinder.
What are you talking about? That gives you opportunity to gamble and speculate, not to invest.

Of course, if many people gamble, some will win, and they might post somewhere about it, but it is foolish to suggest that you can beat the market by significant amounts as a retail investor with options and margins without a commensurate increase in risk (and, because the options and margins are not provided by your friendly investment banker for free, with an increase in cost reducing your expected risk adjusted return).
If the argument is that when people are given free will, very bad things will happen - I have no idea what to say, to be honest. It's certainly not compatible with the concept of a liberal democracy, at the least.
yes and the term "learning", which can mean the trivial operation of iteratively multiplying an array of doubles by another (as in adjusting weights)

Marginal cost to get some sort of commitment/investment out of a company is lower, though. With 4-8 hour coding assignments, that's ~10 companies per two-week period to consider you for the on-site portion. With all the other process stuff, you'd wind up maybe being able to get 1 or 2 concurrent job offers.
To be fair, electric engines are much more efficient than internal combustion engines, so you don't need to achieve the same specific energy to achieve comparable outcomes.

But, to be realistic, one of the startup "stars" of the battery scene, Envia, is marketing an aviation battery with 0.35 kWh/kg, so I'd say that's realistic state of the art. So, even getting the 1.7 kWh/kg you mentioned in a production-ready battery would be huge.

Did you ever hear of a man losing his job, or getting ill, then shortly after his wife leaving? It's quite common.

Evolution has made men the provider. In the old days (not even that long ago) being pregnant makes a woman vulnerable, while raising children takes time and effort. It made sense for a male to provide for his family while the female was less able to do so. The gender roles are a result of evolution, and womens desire for a man with social and/or economic standing are just as ingrained as a mans desire for visual signs of fertility in a woman.
Assuming he don't spend all money on alcohol, which is pretty easy with low income and assuming employer won't get tired of paying alcoholic.

Domestic violence is something that is even more different - living with such person is spectacularly bad idea and directly dangerous.
The thing is, if men switch roles with women, they will not be picked by them. Men are not selected for their capacity to stay at home raising kids. This will not change. So while what makes women attractive to men is still working (more than ever! Just look at Instagram), the opposite isn't holding true anymore. What is the man women are looking for now? The one with hundreds of thousands of instagram followers and gorgeous pictures. They just wanna enjoy this same fake happiness online together. How long is this behavior be mainstream? I don't know. What comes next can be even worse.

That is a concern but the other risk is by not doing this the language progresses in areas people happen to currently use it, which will be skewed by what it's already good at. You can then end up never improving for those cases it's weakest. This covers types of programs but also experience levels and histories of the programmers themselves.

You are right however that you need to carefully pick the tasks to fit with the original aims of the language.

Perhaps a good way of phrasing this is "why aren't X people using rust for Y?".
And a generation of programmers whose parents couldn't afford an Apple II continued. I am so grateful for Sinclair, Atari, Commodore, and TI for making computers for the rest of us.
