One of the big assumptions is that you need to make friends. Part of the disconnect of modern social media, is that it's social. It's far from that. The older we get, the more we prefer to concentrate on greater things than ourselves. Broad strokes like having kids, being married, and contributions to career possibly and cultural en-devours. People wonder why as we get older, we become more conservative ... that's just extended to making friends, and expanding our social network. Most people that do attempt to do so, are often motivated by anything but the aspects of "social". Case in point - business networks and the activities that expand wealth of things other than friends. I'm not trying to be negative, just fruitful in contribution. I am a bit of a techno-extrovert but most of my friends (all 4 of them, that I count on one hand) are hermits themselves. I value the time I spend with them more when we are apart more. Oh wait .... absence makes the heart grow fonder applies here. :) I made a funny.
We use MongoDB as our primary database (hosted with Mongo Atlas) here at Mixmax and it's been a pleasure to use. It's allowed us to move very quickly by not having to deal with schema migrations when adding new features. We have a few terrabytes of data and a query volume of about 1k writes a second.

Yes! I forgot to mention I drink hardly any milk anymore. I keep a quart in the fridge for making pancakes. I take my coffee black or with unsweetened almond/coconut milk.

I still put sour cream on roasted potatoes, though.
You can derive all other math from any Turing complete system. Category theory is no more powerful than that.

I'd probably just add to all the good answers here that there also might be a lacking of knowledge around friendship. What good friendship is and takes.

I'm just speculating that abundance, city life plus the internet has taken a toll on social skills in recent times.

And another point, as someone has said somewhere else in here, "friendship" could have just been perpetuated by sitcoms. Probably what is more important is just a community where you see the same faces more often and friendship would generally just be a natural byproduct of that given enough time.
Hey archagon—that sounds like a great idea. I can just imagine how it must have felt to get on AnonCon :)

I wonder about the two principles involved there (or the ones I've happened to pick out anyway): locality + anonymity. Seems like the anonymity supports a kind of radical latitude of expression, which is great for the initial phases of starting something new; meanwhile, locality constrains who participates in the discussion and influences the topic (to things more local) without constraining it.

Thinking about this more concretely, while I had trouble finding a group of like-minded thinkers/builders in Berkeley/Cambridge—I have no difficulty imagining that if I posted a number of random ideas I've had about programming languages or philosophy or whatever, that I would have received some interesting replies, and that some of those replies could turn into discussions, and some discussions would evolve into something no longer anonymous.

As for implementation, I most readily see it as an AR application: message boards tied to physical locations. Of course there are any number of factors in how this would be carried out that would attract (or repel) different subsets of people, or different types of discussions etc. For instance, I could see it devolving into a world-wide cover of bathroom stall graffiti if too loose, or generating little of interest if too constrained, etc.

Cool projects btw! I think we spoke briefly on here some years ago :) Also, did you ever go 'the Med' in Berkeley? Do you know if anything similar has taken its place since it shut down?

Edit: actually, I guess the 'AR' aspect of it is pretty superficial—it's just the idea of associating virtual objects with geolocations that I had in mind with it. But, at least with the current state of AR frameworks/hardware, it would probably be better to just use a more traditional 2D UI for this. But the key thing would be that depending on where you were standing in the physical world, you'd get a different set of 'terminals' (or something), which you could jump into and start discussing things.

They don't sound like very American men. Like the song goes, "I'm afraid of Americans... They don't need anyone, they don't even just pretend." I realized I have no friends at age 19. I've been fine with that for decades. I won't make any such generalizations about women. I know where I'm at. But I will say the younger guys seem weaker these days. They don't have the same general tough, friendless demeanor the Gen Xers had.
Read carefully... The indictment claims that Project Lakhta had a monthly budget of $1.25m USD.

"Project Lakhta had multiple components, some involving domestic audiences within the Russian Federation and others targeting foreign audiences in various countries, including the United States."

One component of Project Jakhta was the Internet Research Agency - the troll factory. Even IRA itself has a purview much larger than just sowing discord in the US around the election -- see, e.g. the Wikipedia article. [1]

The $2m (total, not monthly) figure was reported last year.

My conversations with folks of that “era” always seem to be more diverse, interesting and surprising. You never know what direction the conversation will go when you meet someone new. I have a few hobbies where the practitioners tend toward older and through these activities met exceptional people. I love hearing about the the war, Woodstock, actual political change, the drug fueled 70s, etc. Interesting careers that you never knew even existed. I met a ferry pilot who flew private airplanes people just bought internationally to their new owners! I could listen to that guy’s stories for hours.

Contrast that with my interactions with people my own age and younger: Topics inevitably fall to vapid TV shows and sports, celebrity gossip, This Gadget I Bought, where I partied last week, my office co-workers suck, etc. Wake me up when it’s over!
Let's say I create a program that is using foo and end up with the following dependencies:

main:

requires "foo" v1.0.0

foo (v1.0.0):

requires "bar" v1.0.0

Right now if I check my dependencies, I'll have something like this:

MODULE VERSION
main -
bar v1.0.0
foo v1.0.0

Now lets say some time passes, and both foo and bar release new versions:

foo:

v1.0.0
v1.1.0

bar:

v1.0.0
v1.0.1
v1.1.0
v1.1.1
v1.1.2

And the deps for foo v1.1.0 are:

foo (v1.1.0):

require "bar" v1.0.1

Realizing that foo has an update, I decide I want to upgrade. I'd do vgo get foo. My updated dependencies (shown with "vgo list -m") are:

MODULE VERSION
main -
bar v1.0.1
foo v1.1.0

bar gets its version increased as well, using the version specified by the foo package's module. This makes sense to me - the foo package maintainer has stated that he only needs v1.0.1 to be stable, so we default to what he specified.

Now imagine I want to add another package, say it is the wham package and it has the following dependencies:

wham (v1.0.0):

require "bar" v1.1.1

If I add this to my code my versions will now be:

MODULE VERSION
main -
wham v1.0.0
bar v1.1.1
foo v1.1.0

bar now uses v1.1.1 because it is the minimal version that satisfies all of my modules. vgo DOES upgrade bar for us, but not beyond the lower version number required to satisfy all of our modules. That said, we can still upgrade it manually with "vgo get bar", after which it will be using v1.1.2 because our main dependencies would become:

main:

requires "foo" v1.1.0
requires "wham" v1.0.0
requires "bar" v1.1.2

In short, upgrading foo WILL upgrade all of foo's dependencies in order to meet it's minimum version requirements, but no further. That said, you can still manually upgrade any of those dependencies.

To me this makes sense. The creator of foo may have avoided upgrading the dependency on bar for some performance reasons, so this upgrade only happens in your code if it is required by another package, you initiate it manually, or if the foo package releases a new version with updated dependencies in its go.mod file.

PS - I've tested this all using the prototype of vgo. You can see yourself by grabbing this code: github.com/joncalhoun/vgo_foo_main and then use vgo to list dependency versions and try upgrading foo which has a dep on demo.

Bonding over struggles is huge.
If everyone started out identical, however unlikely that is, and hobby interests compounded like interest, increasing the balance of ... warhammer 40K, for the sake of example, by 1% every year, then at age 18 you'd have identical interests and experiences and therefore make shallow friends with all kinds of randos who will diverge dramatically in the future, and by age 50, 1% compound hobby interest per year means you'll all be very diverse and therefore unlike to friend up except with people like you.

There's actually a pretty good financial analogy with... finances. At uni "all of us" lived the same lives in the dorms. We had all the same financial life, which was "student poor". Rapidly the ultra rich kids moved to the ultra high rent apartments, we had lives that diverged, etc. Decades later rather than all of us having the same financial condition and experiences, there are likely very few people exactly like me financially.

Finally there's a lot of hand wringing that I'm not hanging out with people who have nothing in common with me other than drinking the same beer or cheering for the same sportsball team. A lot of people grow up and see that as the waste of time that it is. At 18 you can be fooled into thinking a shared enjoyment of "Miller Lite Ice" is a deep personal connection, but many people can't be fooled that way at age 50. Not really a problem.

Yes, we know about autoclaves. But aseptic cell culture without antibiotics?
For me, that's actually a surprisingly difficult question to answer. In retrospect, it's possible to pick some key moments that I wasn't aware of at the time.

The company ran for 10 years. The first 3 years we lived on ramen wages, revenue, and $450k of angel/seed money. We refined and extended the code, had some early-adopter customers, chased investment, and tried to pick a niche. Following promised money from some VCs, we threw a year's work into the (then very immature) mobile space with basically no traction, before reverting to the fintech world (which was where we had customers and product) with a $5M series A.

The milestones on the series A tranches were to hire a management team, and get a launch customer for the fleshed-out product we'd pitched. The VCs put in one of their in-house interim CEOs to run things until we'd found the right team. It then took 18 high-spending months to find the wrong guy.

The worst personal decision I made was to think the VCs were right, and that I (a geek founder) should hand over control to a "professional", so I could get back to coding. I believe that ultimately, that decision started the chain of events that doomed the company. If only I'd realised that then.

The clearest realisation for me came during a small meeting with a handful of the execs. We had nearly 50 staff, an office on Union Square in NYC, some big name customers, and had burned through more than $50M in VC money but they were about to turn off the tap. I confronted the CFO asking what our monthly income was -- the real cash, not the prepaid licensing that was already spent, not the headline number that was then eaten up by us buying back services from the customers, etc, etc. It came to enough to pay about 8-10 people, depending on how much they were willing to cut their salaries.

I proposed a list of the required roles: a CxO, a few devs, infrastructure, and support. I offered to resign, and suggested the best set of devs to carry on the product. We could sublet most of the office, and rebuild on revenues. Everyone in the room acted horrified, and came up with the most fantastic excuses as to why that (a) wasn't necessary, and (b) wouldn't work. I got out a month later, and they rode the company to bankruptcy a year later.

During the 6 years in between, there were many times I doubted we would make it, and some when I thought we were doing ok. Hope and trust are both necessary to continue, and the reason for failing.
User's wouldn't be able to depend on version v1.0.0 if it doesn't exist. From what I understand the tool isn't downloading the list of all versions from GitHub and selecting the minimum. Its searching for the maximum version number (i.e. minimal required version), from your go.mod file and all your dependencies' go.mod file.
In your father's case it might be because he has no other emotional outlet. But as a male with a decent social life I still don't feel comfortable making my friends an emotional outlet. I'd rather not talk to them about things that are frustrating me or making me feel stressed. So my significant other still gets the brunt of that.

In fact most of my male friends also don't get too deep in discussing their feelings. So it might not just be a lack of friendship, but a deeper problem which is men having a hard time discussing their emotions with others.
Lessons from the Cryptojacking Attack at Tesla
I'd guess amplitude is massively affected by microphone sensitivity. This is not easy to measure and might depend on the direction.

Consider:

* The amount of walls between a mic and the outside.

* The absorbance/reflection of nearby materials, including their shape (flat surface will reflect sounds amplifying certain directions).

* The clutter between the source and receiver. Sound carries over water, not over cities or forests.

* Similarly, elevation of the receiver. Higher means less effect of clutter, and obviously, a hill in between will be an issue.

* Wind direction. Wind will blow the sound away.

It might still work with enough measurements with the same microphone, but that is not a given.
A decent backup plan would be measuring the phase difference. This is still frustrated by wind, but doesn't depend on the senstivity of the microphones.
It does require synchronization of the recordings, which might also be difficult.
Maybe it was this?

I have always found this example of using evolutionary processes in FPGAs (and how utterly bizarre the resulting circuitry) to be very useful in clarifying just how different the biological world is from the CS one.

I too am in this position. I do not have one friend in this world I can count on, only family members. And the way things are going, this is how it may be forever.

And if I didn’t have family, and was just some orphan in the world, who knows what I might do. Probably turn to a life of white collar crime at some point.
"it's just hard to meet people in the first place"

If it's hard, it's usually a psychological difficulty rather than a lack of opportunity.

Unless you live somewhere exceptionally remote, you're usually surrounded by people and opportunities for meeting them are quite frequent. You could strike up conversations most anywhere: from streets to bus stops to parks to bars to dance and social clubs to special interest groups, work, cafes, parties, conferences, and so on.

Usually, though, most people don't make the effort, for a variety of reasons ranging from fear to awkwardness and lack of social skills.

Once you meet people, though, you have to go further and cultivate acquaintances in to friends, and lots of people fail to do that as well. Even after a friend is made, however, it's still a challenge to get closer and then to maintain the friendship, which again people often fail to do.
How to rig an economy
Cargoism, then, covers everything from the seemingly reasonable belief that solar panels and other forms of renewable energy can replace fossil fuels (they can’t – as Moriarty & Honnery point out, “an energy source can be renewable without being ecologically sustainable”)...

Searching for that phrase led me to http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/02604027.2017.135...

which rationalizes the claim with

"Solar energy may be unlimited, but this does not guarantee system sustainability for RE. Instead, we run the risk of replacing non-renewable fossil fuels with another set of non-renewable metals and minerals (Vidal, Goffé, & Arndt, 2013). Greatly increased use of RE, especially wind and solar, will require similar increases in many rare minerals (Bardi, 2014)."

This is a reference to Ugo Bardi's book "Extracted: How the Quest for Mineral Wealth Is Plundering the Planet." I don't doubt that Bardi has made such statements in his book. He'd be far from the first to propagate this nonsense. Wind turbines and solar cells can be made with rare minerals, but they do not require rare minerals. The vast majority of solar cells do not require gallium, indium, or tellurium (the usual rare elements cited for solar), and the majority of wind turbines do not require rare earth elements. Some wind generators use rare-earth-containing permanent magnet generators, but most use electromagnets made with common copper.

EDIT: I was able to peek inside Bardi's book via Google Books, and he actually makes the same point I just did. It's actually the opposite of what Moriarty & Honnery claim in citing him. Page 239: "We have also seen that technologies such as modern wind power, solar concentration, and photovoltaics have reasonably high EROEIs and can be manufactured without a critical need of raw materials."
