I think loneliness is especially bad for men as we are prone to hide our mental health and true feelings/emotions, not seek medical attention when we need it, and generally have less intimate discussions with friends as compared to women. So a lot of men end up suffering loneliness for a long period of time without any emotional support.

It feels like one of those things which creeps on you, and before you know it, you aren't attending social events, you don't have much energy or confidence, your perception of others becomes skewed, and it all seems pretty helpless.

Regardless of whether its church or a weekly Meetup.com event or a Recreational Sports League, there is an immense benefit to going somewhere where one finds fulfillment while incrementally getting to know a community. Just by showing up and not being a dick, strangers become friends, and often times even more. It's something I always recommend to people in their 30s who are finding it hard to make friends after college. My friend doesn't believe in the Buddhist religion but has attended the same temple for many years, and it's been incredibly helpful for him in terms of making strong social connections.
KeePassXC supports TOTP, so you can store the seed with the rest of your password database (whether you think this is a good idea depends on what your threat model is for 2FA).
The people I know work in DC at GAO, FBI and NSA make around that amount if you include paid overtime and bonus.
Read some good books on writing. https://www.amazon.com/Style-Lessons-Clarity-Grace-11th/dp/0... or older edition is quite good.
In his book Max Tegmark makes this argument, though he says it’s math rather than physics.
without-camera: maybe
without-GPS: yes
without-sensors: (without knowing exactly what "sensors" are) I think yes. But I may be using a "sensor" that I don't know about

The camera is nice for quick snapshots of moments, and when someone else's camera has died, it's nice to be able to take over. But all-in-all I don't use the camera that much.
GPS: having turn-by-turn directions is nice, but I can read a map and its nice to understand where you're going before just relying on something telling you to "turn left now"...

There are a ton of sensors in phones now-a-days, so I'm not sure which ones are in use to provide some features that I may really like. Therefore, I'd have to see on this one. My initial reaction is that I don't really use many of them, but this may be a false assumption.
A functional programming rosetta stone? Sounds challenging and interesting!
Maybe the expansion pace was tied as an incentive to their corporate voting power?
Love this and we've been thinking about it a lot. I'd say that most UGC platform ratings fall into the base rate fallacy and there is a lot more information available that could be leveraged for recommendations. A very indicative question of the direction we're looking to go is "Will I like this place given that people I trust recommend it?"
Looks interesting, but I can't get it to work.

I've added some files to my Hearth folder, the menu bar icon changed to the "syncing" state and then seems to have got stuck like that. The finder integration doesn't work either, so I can't copy the Hearth link.

Go on to your fiance's phone, computer, router, etc and block all of the wedding marketing engines from showing up in her google searches. This includes, but is not limited to, theknot, pinterest, etc. This will singlehandedly reduce cost and stress more than any other single action.
I'm very introverted. That, and a couple of health issues, resulted in me being alone during the past few years. I know it's not normal/healthy, but as weird as it sounds, I don't feel unhappy. I enjoy being alone most of the time, and during the rare moments when feel a bit lonely, standup comedy and TV sitcoms make that feeling go away.

I spend my time writing, learning to code, working on my startup, listening to audiobooks, practicing digital art. Most of the time I'm having fun and enjoying myself (when health doesn't get in a way), though having a couple of buddies would probably make my life better.

The fact that I live in russia doesn't help finding friends, I feel like all the people I'd like to talk to live in the US/UK/Canada, not here. I understand that rationally this can't be true, but I really have no idea where to search for people I'd have a lot in common with. I like people on hacker news and reddit, I like people who's blogs and books I read, I like people who's youtube channels I watch, but I've never met anyone like that in "real life".

I could put myself out there and go to meetups or courses until I find someone I like, but the combination of introversion and the fact that my life is kinda nice as it is, makes it feel like it's not worth the effort. Also I really hope that I'll find a way to move elsewhere, so it's not like I'll build lasting relationships here.

Maybe one day I'll move to NYC and end up getting my social life on point, but meanwhile, my projects and the internet keep me pretty happy and satisfied.

You are absolutely right. I just have a few notes to add.

You could probably guess that I still hurt inside a little bit when I suggest that I'd shut my eyes to the catastrophe happening in my homeland. My point is, with the despair caused by the lack of things to do and the abundant real-life "Ididocracy" going on, I got used to it to the point that I can ignore it. I don't want to live my life fighting an uphill battle against brainwashed folks.

In the unlikely event that it happens here as well, I guess I'd just take my wife and flee... again. Maybe I could say that not caring is not my shield, it's my only rational move.
> where I grew up (Urban India) ... I could run around and play in the streets without much parental oversight

Honestly, I grew up the same way, in suburban America - but thirty years ago. When my own kids were little, they wanted to go outside and play, and my wife almost had a heart attack when I suggested letting them. I told her that's how I grew up and she said what every mother I've heard of says now: "times were different back then". Yes, times are different... but not necessarily for the better.
Could this be related to antitrust scrutiny in EU?
This is great feedback. Thank you so much for taking the time to write it.

1. RE: position specific help.
This is definitely a goal. I want to use the job posting you are applying for and leverage that to guide you throughout the process. And really I want to make the "A.I." much more intelligent over time.

2. RE: Visual cue on landing page.
Easy fix. Will push that out later today.

3. RE: why sign up if free.
An earlier prototype actually didn't have any sort of signup but proved too limited or difficult when in came to sharing, revising your resumes, or owning multiple resumes. It is all for the users benefit. You should be creating multiple resumes. You should be improving your resumes over time. Resumes are living breathing documents that evolve as you do.
A nice bonus of having accounts now is resumes can be shared via URL to be viewed.

3.b RE: free.
I feel it is unethical to charge people money to help them get out of unemployment or underemployment. This is a project for me to give back to society since so much of my paid work is automating jobs away.
Helping people break the cycle of underemployment is important to me. It is, in some ways, more devastating than unemployment.

4. RE: storage and usage.
The data is stored in a PostgreSQL database on AWS. I will try to make this more clear. I use the data to make the service better (better AI, better design, better guides, etc). Seeing how people write their resume using the tool helps me write better guiding AI so the user gets a better resume at the end.

Again, thank you so much for writing your feedback. The more feedback I can get the better I can help people get the resume they need to break the cycle.

> Lobbying as a term in the US is pretty synonymous with donating money.

This is flat-out untrue, and repeating this incorrect meme ad nauseum simply makes it harder to address actual problems when they arise. Lobbying is simply the process of petitioning elected officials. It's a necessary part of any functioning democracy, or else there's no fundamental feedback loop connecting elected officials to their constituents in between elections.

> If there was a lobbying group that did not donate money you would have to specify that in conversation

Corporate entities are prohibited from donating money to campaigns, whether or not a quid pro quo is implied.
I missed the part where you explained why changing the reducer to an object with methods would bring any benefits, or what's bad about message passing (it seems to me off the top of my head that changing this would at the very least, break redux observable as it currently works)
Those words do not appear in the transcript, and I'm not going to listen to the audio for it.
Hmmm... I got a popup that can only be dismissed by swiping from the bottom. There is no X at the top right. Clicking outside of the popup doesn't work. I tried to "swipe" with my mouse, but it just highlights text... Weird UX decisions. I can resize my browser window and X appears in the corner, but I've lost interest.
Unfortunately true. Farms have a lot of trouble selling "ugly fruit" and a lot of it gets thrown away. Fruit & vegetables have to meet a cosmetic standard to get into the grocery store.

Some companies are starting to appear to capitalize on this though: https://www.imperfectproduce.com/
Most likely due to the same troll farms that paint the narrative that SpaceX wastes tax payer money.

Now who would not want a new private American company to succeed in revitalizing the industry and increasing competition. Hmm, I can think of a few.

It used to be "NASA is a bloated waste of tax payer money let private Enterprise in."

And now the same people who said that, have been convinced that private industry is stealing.
Some of the reputation is deserved though. When I worked at UPS you were forced to join the Teamsters union and pay union dues. I don't have a problem with the unions in general, but I'm against forced membership.
I'd be happy if such sites would just support more serious options than SMS, without necessarily requiring it.
Don't have too much context on high (er) quality content in the rest of Google's portfolio, but we definitely were drawn to Zagat and saw it as a great counterpart to The Infatuation for exactly this reason. Quality over quantity will remain our principle strategy to tackling this space, but we will be exploring new avenues to scale this out more broadly with Zagat moving forward.
This article resonated with me fairly well. As someone who has had an extensive background in Rails and has more recently switched to 100% javascript, this kind of pattern is what the community needs. There's something to be said about getting up and running as quickly as possible. Sure you can make the argument that not everyone's application is the same, but there's a ton of similar patterns that would have been better suited to having less mental gymnastics with a simple config while still leaving the door open with FP for those that want to fine tune.
as a chicagoan i disagree
I came up with the idea of combining roof shingles with solar panels back in 2012. Now here we are in 2018 and Tesla is making it happen.
Agreed. Perhaps this is not exactly what you meant, but I do feel that shared spaces are shrinking and private spaces are expanding. I found this particular quote from The Atlantic quite telling:

"The United States is in some ways becoming a medieval society, in which people live and work in the modern equivalent of castles--gated communities, apartment buildings with doormen, and office buildings with guards--and try to shield themselves while traveling between them. They do this by riding in sport-utility vehicles, which look armored, and by trying to appear as intimidating as possible to potential attackers." - Keith Bradsher

1Password captures and stores TOTPs, even copies the current OTP into your clipboard momentarily when you log in to a site. You don’t have to use their online service; you can keep the password vault in a file. You can sync your devices over LAN and WiFi.
I'm not mixing those things up. People talking about Google search censorship are failing to note that:

1. Searching for guns and gun accessories in Google Search has, and continues to return relevant gun-related search results.

2. Searching for guns and gun accessories in Google Shopping[1] has had its search results reduced, hence the controversy.

[1] Notice how all of the screencaps[2] posted on Zero Hedge/etc, are of people having the Shopping search tab open.

Isn’t one of the points of redux to decouple actions from reducers? How would you implement multiple reducers responding to a single action if your actions are tied to a reducer with a namespace?
The current problem with unions is labor arbitration. Unions were great when transportation was slow and expensive and communication didn't move at the speed of light. Now capital is more important than labor, and capital can be moved almost freely and at the speed of light. Labor on the other hand is stuck in it's national borders, and much of it has a huge amount of debt.

Giving a union the power to shut down a production line doesn't do much good when a new line can be setup overseas in hours. Corporate power has to be fought at the state and nation level

> A "remote social life" is not even close to the same thing and chats online or the phone with "disposable friends" and strangers who have a clear and easy disconnect from your real life don't fill the hole a lack of enduring, present human contact leaves and usually take precious energy with no real benefit.

Maybe this is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Anecdotally, I and others I know have formed deep, meaningful relationships with people online. I think the hardest part of that is finding small communities - i.e, it's hard to make meaningful connections in a sub-reddit filled with 100,000 people, but in niche forums and chatrooms, with userbases in the dozens, I think it's much more feasible.

It's actually super refreshing learning that even programming masters like Carmack are just now learning NNs and watching Youtube Stanford classes like the rest of us. These are actual people, not gods :) Everybody poops!
And probably lost a ton of compiler assisted type checking in the process. I hope nobody considers doing anything remotely like this for any reason beyond learning a little about the low-level Objective-C machinery.
Maybe I'm reading wrong, but I read it more that if the Objective-C interface is small, i.e. the bulk of your app is cross-platform C, you could easily use C to interact with the runtime.
The rotation/organic/etc argument is that properly managed soil & fields sustain their yields indefinitely with significantly less fertilizer, water, etc input, whereas the traditional industrial ag model achieves higher yields initially but the soil quality & yields decline rapidly & require ever more fertilizer, water, etc input. In short, the first model has lower peak yields but is more sustainable; the second has higher peak yields but "uses up" the land, and within only 1-3 decades at that.

A related example of the consequences of "using up" land can be seen with bananas. In that case, a deadly banana fungus is slowly, inexorably spread through the soil by human activity. Eventually a plot of land becomes unusable for growing bananas due to the spread of the fungus. No matter, the banana company just cuts down more rainforest for new land and abandons the old plot. Later, in perhaps ten years, the new plot will be contaminated & unusable, and the cycle continues.
I assume this means Harvey Weinstein will earn 100's of millions from the deal, yeah?

I guess it's still much less than the company was worth a year ago
Idk if it's a case of mental energy. The legal/regulatory toolkit just isn't good. Every little point needs to be detailed, legible and explicit in order to be enforceable. "Informed" just isn't a yes or no point. Boiling it down to such an explicit set of requirements... you can easily boil out all the nutrition.
> to an object with methods would bring any benefits

It lets static typing do a lot more work for you when using Typescript/Flow. Less to remember and less to break.

Message passing is a really useful architectural choice because it lets you do powerful global operations. It's a lot crummier on the development ergonomics front.
Storytelling and Design
IMO, 1Password with TOTP integration is even easier. When I pop 1Password to log in to a site, it copies the TOTP to the clipboard so I can paste it at the next prompt.
> You're ignoring that the main TOTP app for most people, Google Authenticator, doesn't allow the keys to be exported. The current solution if you buy a new phone is to manually remove and re-add 2FA on every site you use it with.

I'm not ignoring that at all. Google Authenticator is the only one I use, even with the described workflow.

I back the key up immediately, when they're asking you to save the TOTP. They usually (not always!) give you multiple methods to input the TOTP, such as scanning an image or typing in a string. That string can be backed up, and is what I usually use.

I never renew my TOTP, and all I use is Google Authenticator. Anytime I get a new phone (nearly every year, heh), I just add my TOTPs back.

This of course doesn't work for non-tech people, it's a bit too manual. I acknowledged that in my first post, though.
Sure, it's possible to use a badly-designed password manager, such as using a centralized or closed-source password manager. I'd say this is still more secure than using the same password everywhere, because it only involves trusting one entity with the keys to everything, rather than trusting multiple entities with the keys to everything. But it's definitely a bad security practice.

The password manager I use is KeePassX. In both the KeePass and KeePassX varieties it stores the passwords locally, so the only vulnerability you mentioned that it's vulnerable to is that malicious code would get into the source. One would hope that this would be caught by auditing, but of course it's always possible it wouldn't be. However, this is a only a possibility: it's guaranteed that one of the sites I log into with a password will leak that password at some point. So using KeePassX is definitely safer than using the same password everywhere.

> I think it's inevitable that one of the major password managers will wind up being compromised. Such an event would eclipse the Equifax breach.

Sure, if it's one of the password stores that stores its passwords centrally. But that idea is so backward that I barely consider such systems to be password managers--I'd file those under the "Joe's totally-not-a-password-collection-scheme website". The simple answer is don't use those.

If it's one of the password stores that stores passwords locally, then it will only leak passwords of users who update their password store software between the breach and when the breach is discovered.

You can come up with scenarios where any password scheme will be broken if a user does completely the wrong thing, like posting their password publicly. That doesn't mean password managers are a bad idea, it just means there's no such thing as an idiot-proof security system.
This used to be standard; everyone I knew put rice in their salt shakers. It was essential during the more humid months.

Possibly the only good reason to use "sea salt" is that the crystals are bigger and less prone to caking.
Everyone that says "but it's insane to use assembly to write an iOS app!" is both 100% correct and 100% missing the point. It's nice to float around on the surface most of the time and ship useful code, but if you don't spend at least a little of your time digging deep you'll miss out on a lot.

I'd never try to do this in prod, and neither would OP, but it's great to see how it works under the hood.
This can be done using Subscriptions [1].

I have another problem with this library, which is relying on singleton pattern for communication. This way, you cannot have more than one rematch instance in one application, which can be limiting. It also makes reasoning more difficult.

Is Redux too complex? That's the central argument this article makes but I find it to be patently false. What drew me to redux was its simplicity: Abramov said from the beginning that it's not anything you can't code yourself, it just provides a thin framework around making changes to some base state object. Its main strength (to me) is that it forces developers to think about state changes as mutations rather than recreating a spaghetti state machine oneself.
I was hoping to see a mention of Pony which looks like a promising language based on the actor model.
You can measure research on lots of directions. The purpose of AlphaGo was to win the game, so discussion about AI which are not built to win is largely irrelevant. The difficulty of Go had nothing to do with creating tension (where in many games humans play, AI players can trivially win if the designers wanted them to). In Go this was not the case, as AI lagged behind grandmaster play significantly. Thus, the discussion of research that interests you that has nothing to do with the goals of Go AI, is tangential at best. It's not fair to say the article is faulty just because you wanted them to discuss your favorite research conference.
AI in toasters is better than many use cases being considered or publicized.

I would welcome a toaster that let me say "too burnt" or "too raw" or "just right" after each toasting, adjusted the cooking time and temperature accordingly, and generalized well to new kinds of bread and such.
