Well, from the way you're talking about her, it sounds like you're being a bit dismissive about her void that she needs to fill. She has hopes and dreams, just like you. If you both met when you were teens, then she probably felt like her entire life was chosen by a teenager. And that's daunting for anyone.

I know you're hurting. I've felt it. Sometimes it feels like the end of the world. But nothing happy will come from vilifying her or blaming her. She might feel like she had to look out for herself. It's the only life she'll ever get.

If she's truly polyamorous, then that means there is space for you too, you know. You just have to attract her.

But you should ask yourself if you really want that. She's a different person than the idea of her you're clinging to. Do you love her? Or are you afraid of being alone?

If you love her, and you want to pursue it, realize you might still lose her. But one chance is to wait for her to finish exploring whatever she wants to explore, and then see if she comes back. Keep in touch and try to talk about something real, something deep. Without arguing. Let her have a voice.

It's not enough to pay someone's bills. They're a person. And one step towards a healthy relationship is to shed the "if I do X for you, then you do Y for me" mindset. It's poisonous, at least in my own life. Maybe it's different for other people.

Best of luck. If you want to chat, shoot me an email.

The issue is that social media is bad for mental health. That means that excessive social media time can be a problem and is more objectionable that reading a book and likely also worse than watching TV or playing video games. I think if everyone was reading or doing something similarly benign on their phones it would be much less of an issue.
It's quite eye opening the way that this article paints Facebook as a clueless giant, unknowingly enabling revolutions, swinging elections and upending societies.

I don't think there's any precedent for this.
That’s because “speedup” is a hard thing to measure of the variance of what you’re trying to measure is more than the accuracy you’re trying to achieve. The comparison doesn’t make sense here: physicists are trying to measure a constant while execution time depends on the input data, system load, etc.
Yes, it is interesting that the author sees no place in the modern world for the kind of free speech enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. They are happy with a giant global monopolist controlling all speech, as long as they use that power to enforce their political agenda.

That is an incredibly dangerous mindset and one that seems to be becoming more pervasive in respectable circles.

Tap water doesn't necessarily have any more or less mineral content than bottled mineral water. The variation between mineral water brands and the variation between tap water sources (mostly: well water vs surface) is much larger than any difference between bottled and tap.

If you live in an area with hard tap water you're essentially drinking "mineral water" out of the tap.

> However, I think it's far more likely that, while they created lots of value, they haven't captured most of it back. Arguably, that's because they didn't try to, which is a totally reasonable decision for them to have made.

Yes, because going for money takes effort. This means that people who have hoarded a lot of money and wealth have spent time on capturing money and less time on producing value. Now we can ask, do we want to reward that kind of behavior by giving these people money and thus power, and wouldn't we get (i.e., select) better leaders if we assigned rewards based on true value?
Could you elaborate on the bugs in SVG? Are there any usability issues beyond the bugs? I tried some cursory googling 'why not to use svg', 'svg bugs', etc and didn't really find any common/recurring.
Something I never considered when I was younger was how much these things are a spectrum and that there is no bright dividing line between many of these choices.

As an example: I'm living in what's definitely the suburbs (VA Beach), but within easy walking distance of the local coffee shop, groceries, my kids school, etc.

We don't have an HOA, but know a lot of our neighbors. I have a car, but don't use it much b/c of both location and that I work from home.

It's laid out pretty clearly in his annual budget posts that he doesn't need to do any of that to live. He and his wife simply like doing those things. That's a big difference and I think you're being disingenuous not to give him that credit.
It's slightly different, because at least things like books and newspapers carry a tiny bit of intellectualism. You at least need to be able to read and comprehend language. IG, on the other hand, is literally just pictures: you don't even need to be able to comprehend any language to use it.
Yeah, it's interesting to hear that people have no side effect. It's not anything really substantial, but there is definitely some side-effect. I'm used to being really sensitive to any substances though, for example I couldn't drink 3 cups of coffee a day, that would drive me totally hyper.

But after all, that calming effect has to come from somewhere with L-theanine.
Having never used rust and having barely used C, here are some uninformed opinions.

A memory safe language for the kernel doesn't seem possible using "traditional" safety tools. I'd expect a "safer" language would look a lot like formal verification. If you can make a safer language that doesn't look a lot like formal verification, you can probably automate a lot of formal verification.

There are still some big advantages to rust. By explicitly marking unsafe code, you've made it a lot easier to figure out what needs to be focused on. I imagine you can even formally verify just the unsafe parts of your ecosystem.

Also, rusts tooling just seems more pleasant.
Ask HN: Is there a website that provides a feed of events/exhibits/trade shows?
I've been unsuccessfully looking for a long time for a website that provides a feed of events/exhibits/trade shows based on my interests. For example I would be really interested to know about upcoming robotics-related events.

Normally I get to know about those from news when it's too late to make accommodations. Thanks!
I guess this is also ok with GitHubs TOS since you eventually use their built-in features for static site generation to serve your content instead of abusing the Repo itself as a CMS.

Is that right?
That doesn’t mean it’s being rendered monospace.

(When herein I say “terminals” I mean “terminals/renderers/text editors/things like that”.)

Some terminals are truly monospace, simply not drawing glyphs that aren’t available at the right size (e.g. xterm).

Some terminals don’t actually care about being monospaced all that much, and are quite happy to handle glyphs of differing sizes, though up/down movements may still be character-based (e.g. Notepad++).

Some terminals try hard to both be monospaced and show you useful stuff, and will either horizontally truncate the glyph, or draw subsequent glyphs on top of any overflow (e.g. gVim).

Some terminals simply make a total hash of it, with the cursor positioning being monospaced, but drawing subsequent characters after the incorrectly-wide glyph (e.g. Ace).

Your example of U+FDFD is bonus fun because it’s RTL. Most terminals don’t handle RTL at all well. (Terminals capable of proportional rendering such as Notepad++ and plain old Notepad are much more likely to treat it properly in my experience.)
TL;DR: I don't have long-term goals. I am setting short-term goals (at most a decade) and then re-evaluate my life purposes and begin again.

I don't really have goals longer that one decade from now. I don't really know what I want to have by the age of 80(im currently 29) so I am not concentrating there. I do know a few things I would like though and those are money and to still be working with interesting things that I love doing (programming, business running, hobbies, family, friends). So what I do is I set short-term goals that are making me work towards those life purposes. I am aware though that these purposes may change so I wouldn't like to work for two decades on making money and then suddenly realize that money was not what I really wanted.

So I set a goal 10 years ago and was stating that I wanted by the age of 30 to be a highly-paid (to fulfil my need for money) software engineer (to fulfill my need to do something that I love doing). I am very happy with my progress so far and I am still waiting for the time that I would make piece with myself and sit down to set the next goal which will also be short-term, something like "build a buisness by the age of 35 and marry your girl".

As a teen, I'm not sure if this is the right place for me to speak but I wanted to offer a few things to the discussion. Social media is key aspect to the entire situation and is definitely true for me and all my peers. Like someone else stated in the comments, I feel as if it's a side effect to loneliness in our time however that's not entirely true. Teens are still very social, maybe as a social as ever compared to in the past. They actively searching friends and what to talk face to face. But I feel as if the do existence of social media is hindering theses interactions for for some it's a simple escape that is a simpler option than actively seeking friendships.

One more note. I find it a bit disturbing that among my peers this is not really a discussed or considered social issue. A lot for teens just accept it as it it without any realization. It would nice to see my peers accept a different attitude to social media. Not necessarily shunning it completely but at least having a realistic understanding of the role it can play on their lives.
> I doubt they are sitting around the conference table saying "Fuck! If only the Linux office suite had these seventeen keyboard shortcuts and the equation editor had these thirty-nine additional features, there would be no need to switch!"

What are the arguments supporting the switch, then? One would think they determined there are some features missing from the Linux based setup and found out that the Windows solution has those, then decided that they have to switch. If this wasn't the case, then what are they basing their decision on? Flipped a coin, or simply corruption, or what?
Is a TL;DR version for the people on the other side of the paywall?
Agreed. Why not indeed.

And people are doing different activities on their phone including games and reading news or whatever they want.

It's a no-brainer why more people are depressed. From increasing environmental concerns including global warming, to violence and conflict, and a myriad of domestic issues that we can't not be aware of any more. I remember a time when I lived in a small town and was very incubated from the world's problems. That incubation no longer exists.
I'd argue that even the crazy ghc features are mostly trustable. Virtually every language extension and even a lot of the optimizations are explained in papers - including design tradeoffs, proofs of correctness and interactions with other extensions.

That still doesn't mean that it's a good idea to enable -XIncoherentInstances, though.
I thought the same thing, but I’d have no idea what to do without work. If I didn’t have to save for kids college, I could retire now at 46. Other problem is 401k can’t be accessed until 60.

Retire for me just means enough FU money, but I’ll probably work till I drop dead.
That’s gorgeous. How much bigger does it grow if you heap allocate? Does it include 2mb of extra code like in normal desktop builds?
That is certainly a risk. But I think it can be mitigated with three step authentication and notifying a voter multiple ways whenever their votes are recorded or an election of representative is made.

And we can give people an ID code for their vote. And let them see how their vote was recorded. They could identify themselves at city hall or the state house and punch in the code.

Also, if we broke out support for each bill by zip code, it would be easier to assess if fraud has taken place. You could even publish those codes and who cast each vote on every street. Not the actual vote, of course. Just who cast it.

We could also use a blockchain to ensure votes cannot be changed after they are cast.

In short, I think there are solutions to the hacking problem.
I’d consider a switch for gaming if Linux had more games than windows, and the graphics drivers were more performant on Linux.

90% of the game library or 95% of game performance Will not do it.

Until then, having a windows license even if only for gaming is a no brainer.

Of all those issues, only opioids are regulated and there seems to be some evidence that drug regulations themselves are part of rise in addictions. I'm not seeing much evidence these days that new laws and giving government more control is a good fix for anything.
You need to configure it properly, though, otherwise you can still easily hit the open file descriptors limits in the OS.

> MS Office simply blows Libre Office out of the water

Graphically, sure. But after not using MS Office for a few years, I really prefer LibreOffice. It does everything I need (and a lot more, actually) and I know where all the buttons are. Other than that it looks prettier, there is zero reason for me to use MS Office. (I can only think of reasons why I wouldn't want to use MS Office.)

And if MS Office is what you're going for, then it still runs in Wine. No need to convert the entire infrastructure.

Personally have worked for a large Ecommerce companies search team and I can tell you that effective product search is really a difficult problem even google doesn't do a great job on this, more so w.r.t constantly changing inventory in real times, ranking properly for each query type etc. (Not to mention the challenges of keeping the results fresh).

Hello,

I'll try to make it quick for you: I've been through most of what you've described and my best advice is that you put an end to it. Right away.
We're about the same age, work in the same industry and it seems we share the drive to drink.
I was in it for more than five years. Always high functioning... Until I couldn't, any longer.
The truth is you start getting sloppy with your life. And yes, you lose control of everything. Little by little. Every bit you trust about yourself.

I'm from Portugal. I was the first tech guy in my company, the consitions were harsh when I started there. I already drank quite a lot, at the time. I was single again so I would work like a retard during the day and then drink till I passed out.

I looked at it like some kind of special condition. I left everyone out of it. I was being successful, after all.

Well...
Lately, things started to get out of control. I first sought medical help this year, in January.
I tried to quit with pills. First with a private Doctor, then with the National Health Service. I went even farther out of control. I went for a 2-week medically assisted detox. The month before was the closest to hell I've ever been. Taking meds and alcohol at the same time destroys you. I was miserable, deeply depressed and unable to do anything. Truly left for dead. Beyond words...

Well... Those 2 weeks changed my life. It's tough, you have to go at it with everything you've got. But after that, everything changes.
I've only asked for a drink once, since, but didn't touch it.
I'll probably never raise a glass again. But believe me, it's worth it.
Everything is 10x more challenging now, in my life, and I love it this way. No longer having to plan my professional, family and love life based on alcohol consumption :)

Seriously, please quit it before you turn to a werewolf. You'll be a lot more immersed in life as an experience.

Best of wishes!

P.S.: I still take two pills a day. And some light weed for relaxing at night, sometimes.
Those two "That Worked" are interesting apps. Congrats and thanks.
Well in my experience these generally work by deeply integrating with your catalog, I would doubt if there is anything like a universal catalog unless you are a Google. But I guess folks do crawl web (maybe Amazon etc) to get some sort of extended catalog might cover a high %age of the use cases.
I don't think that's true at all. I think the main thing for young people to learn is that being frugal, avoding luxuries, is probably more important to financial well being than earning a lot of money. Also that as your income rises you need to be aware of (and fight against) the natural urge to spend (and often waste) more money. Need to fight against the urge to "spend what you earn" and develop habit of saving money every paycheck.

Our society encourages outrageous consumption of unnecessary goods at ridiculous prices. It's not hard to live much more cheaply if you can get over (difficult) psychological hurdles of (1) disregarding marketing that we're bombarded with every day, and (2) getting out of the competition for social status. What's more, you will tend to lead a happier life if you can do this. A good book that I don't think was mentioned in the linked page is "Why Smart People Make Big Money Mistakes".

Also, my mind has been boggled by what people seem to take from even good books on finances. For example, _The Millionaire Next Door_ is a good book. But I have friends who have read it, claim to believe it and try to adopt some of its advice, but the life they lead is ridiculously extravagant, not at all consistent with the book. Self-awareness of bad psychological attitudes towards money is not always easy.
I’m away from my computer right now, so may take a while to give you an exact number, but when I first did this, I forgot to turn on optimizations, and the libstd version was 173kb pre-gzip. So I’d imagine it’s similar to that, or at least, that gives you an order of magnitude.

Your question is related to the technical aspects of the ecosystem, but not to the way that people use computers in general.

A good rhetorical question in response is, why is the web so much more popular when using computers than installed applications?

The implication you've made is that there is no benefit to the web, but that is obviously not true, as web usage far outstrips installed applications (besides the browser) at this point. Given this, it becomes necessary to have common tooling to target the different browsers out there.

Getting back to the core of your question, if there was a framework for which you could target all users on the internet (with a single codebase), it ran natively on all platforms, was easily run by everyone merely by clicking on an icon, which then cleans itself up after running... then maybe native apps would be a good avenue for delivering all applications.

Anyone can download Wikipedia's entire database. If this TOR service wanted to help protect privacy by not forwarding user requests to Wikipedia's server, the service could download the database and update it on a regular (daily?) basis.
One way to think about some of this stuff is that "the society has changed too much too quickly for our biology to catch up".
There is more social isolation, less meaningful relationships, less sex, debt, overwork, medication and a DDoS on your attention via YouTube, Netflix, CNN, foxnews. It's not just social media and not just teens.
> That means that excessive social media time can be a problem and is more objectionable that reading a book and likely also worse than watching TV or playing video games.

That’s a rather serious claim to make without a source to back it up. What makes you think that reading is more “benign” than social media?

Can you cite some substantiation for the claim of high morbidity and mortality historically resulting from circumcision of male neonates? I'm not tremendously in favor of the practice myself, as it seems unnecessarily traumatic, but I also think it's worth paying heed to the occasional fact, no matter how firmly you happen to be against it.

And I'm not especially impressed by that article you linked, either. Several of the sources it cites in support of its arguments, when examined, turn out to be tangentially related at best, and not at all supportive of the claims to which they're linked.
I have an Asus laptop but I don't feel like I depend on Asus. I can buy from another vendor and transfer the data any day.

I think that's an idealized view. My opinion is that it does more harm than good. On a large scale, at least. Individually, sure, there are some people who can handle it, but it's mostly a net-negative for the world.
Hopefully “don’t take pictures/videos of your peers/friends without their (implied) permission” becomes a more widely distributed social more for the next generation. Can’t believe it isn’t already.
