The statistics are fine. The point is that you’d expect Android -> iPhone switches to be rarer than iPhone to Android switches. Nearly everyone who can afford an iPhone who wants an Android phone can afford to switch. But many people who have an Android phone but want an iPhone cannot afford to switch. (Indeed, if you look at average selling prices, the average Android user could not afford to switch to even the lowest end iPhone, even if they wanted to).
Well, when you use the word "tantra" here, it sounds like you're talking about one of the many schools of "awakened / sacred sexuality" or "neo-tantra" -- which are often deeply _informed_ by various tantric practices, while not coming even remotely close to encompassing what tantra is, in a traditional / classic sense.

Because this concept has been relatively reappropriated by these newer-age threads, your suggestion to seek these groups using a keyword like "tantra" can, of course, help to find what you describe.

Regardless, more conscious and consensual physical contact between humans is always a good thing, thanks for the suggestion!
While better security is a goal of relibc it is not actually one of the primary goals.

Most existing libc implementations are not particularly portable across different kernels, and especially not to microkernels such as Redox OS. The goal is to have a standard library that is easier for the Redox OS devs to develop in (obviously, Rust makes sense here), and not so tied down to one kernel like musl is for example.
I don't know anything about San Francisco, so I can't comment on any anti-queer/anti-minority imagery. The article certainly didn't provide evidence for it. But is this really a liberal vs. conservative issue? I've heard Berkeley has similar NIMBYism, and that's a very liberal area, right? Is Sunset really that conservative?
Your comment sounds accurate from what little I know of the game community. But the reason it is fun to read about game programing is precisely because you guys are so willing to dive into the detail.

I was responding to a comment about Cairo graphics, which I assume is not much used in games. The kind of graphics I was thinking about is things like Cairo, Windows WPF, the Web.

That said: once upon a long time, OpenGL was supposed to be achieve efficiency by being high level so that the rendering stack could optimise your drawing better than you could. That idea didn't work so well and modern OpenGL seems to take the opposite approach.
> I suspect many early issues will be worked out by the time they finally get around to building mine.

I had this same attitude with an ICE car I purchased. The pre 2015 models had weak CV joints that appeared to fail after 10/20,000 miles. It sucked for owners of those earlier cars, but the good news is that dealerships will replace the CV joints on the S1 free of charge without question irrespective of milage.

I hope that Tesla do the same with the first Model 3 owners because it's just the right thing to do.
I guess* there's been a lot of revision of previous sex determinations for skeletal remains lately. Something about older techniques paying too much attention to the absolute sizes bones, which led to a lot of misclassification of taller-than-average men and shorter-than-average women.

Android tends to be more flexible with a few things. At least I see a lot of users using custom fonts and crazy widgets, that would never work out with the iOS sandbox concept. iOS users that i know often have an iPhone because it just works pretty well. They would use iMessage and iCloud and everything is fully integrated.

I am currently on iOS, but I have deep concerns how Apple is controlling the Apps on the App Store and in general is pushing its agenda to everyone’s phone just like that. When my 6s breaks I will very likely switch back to Android just for the reason of being able to root my device, sideload applications and control traffic via hosts file. Also, Wireshark and other fun stuff.

> Many times, people feel like they are forced to live in cities, not because they want to, but because they have to for their job.

Is this true? I work in a suburbanish portion of the bay area, and 90% of my coworkers commute in from San Francisco and Western Oakland. San Francisco is more expensive and is further away, but the advantages of urban living are multi-fold. Walkable neighborhoods, access to more restaurants, bars, and nightlife, access to more culture (museums, openings, concerts, etc), more people to meet and talk to, etc. Given the choice I would almost certainly choose to live in a city vs. a suburb or rural area.

> The major networks haven't put out as much enticing content in the last few years.

It also doesn't help that Hulu's contracts with several major networks have expired over the years faster than replacement contracts as major networks try to carve out individual streaming apps of their own. Hulu's usefulness as an aggregator is getting questionable, especially with the foray into "Live TV" that certainly seems counter to what I signed up to Hulu for in the first place: cutting the tyranny of TV scheduling as much as possible, while still keeping somewhat water cooler up-to-date versus Netflix binging a full season months after the fact with few to discuss it with (though now everyone's water cooler is getting tuned/reset to Netflix so even that need is disappearing/shifting).
On the contrary Iceland, which is currently on permanent DST is considering moving the clock back an hour, getting closer to solar noon, because it turns out constantly waking up in darkness might have bad effects on the the general health of the population.

You might think you prefer sunlight after work. But it seems the scientific consensus is shifting towards believing the contrary. And having lived most of my life in permanent DST, I can honestly say I agree with this shifting scientific consensus.

What matters is how much content there is in the episode. People have gotten the idea from Peter Jackson's awful, awful Hobbit movies that pages of source material are a restriction on how much movie you can make. But the problem there was that the movies were terrible, not that The Hobbit was shorter than a three-book series. Shrek is a 90 minute movie based off of a children's book of just 1,150 words. Nobody ever complained about the quality of Shrek.
I was just about to go fine this link. This is hilariously bad.
But throughout the whole range of history, not only is there no evidence of the existence of a metallic standard of value to which the commercial monetary denomination, the “money of account” as it is usually called, corresponds, but there is overwhelming evidence that there never was, a monetary unit which depended on the value of coin or on a weight of metal; that there never was, until quite modern days, any fixed relationship between the monetary unit and any metal; that, in fact, there never was such a thing as a metallic standard of value.

This is a very slippery argument. The overall point of the essay is to show that basing one's currency on a metallic standard is silly and destructive. In this quote, the author is correct in that rarely in history has the monetary unit been permanently and inalterably fixed to an exact weight of metal. But -- it has been the norm in history to have a substantial precious metal content in money, with that content being fixed in the short term, and any lessening of the amount leading to charges of debasement, and possibly even the refusal to accept the currency.

The reason why precious metals have been an important part of money is trust -- an issue which the author fails to address. It takes a very strong government to make its subjects accept fiat currency. If the sovereign pays his soldiers in fiat currency, the soldiers know that the sovereign can infinitely dilute the currency, making the currency worthless. Whereas if the sovereign pays in coin containing precious metal, the soldier knows the precious metal is likely to be of value in many markets, no matter what the sovereign does. And by requiring money to be made from previous metals, it slows down the rate at which the sovereign can debase the currency (although of course the sovereign can and does slowly reduce the metal content).

If you trust your a particular government (or organization, or corporation) completely, then the author's arguments make sense, and you can accept the scrip of that government as currency. But if you don't trust that government completely... then you need a more complete assessment of the pros and cons of different monetary arrangements.

Replacing C in part is valuable. You don't have to have a plan to replace all C code in an entire stack to get measurable improvements (performance, readability, barrier to entry, modularity, features, and yes security) from the work.

POSIX is an ideal. It's true that POSIX is defined in terms of the C API instead of any ABI - Rust libstd used to have a tiny bit of code I wrote to deal with the fact that Android's libc exposes a couple of signal-handling functions as inline functions in <signal.h>, which is perfectly fine as POSIX goes but annoying if you're not writing in C. But in practice you can successfully bind to POSIX implementations from non-C languages and only need workarounds like this a few times, and in the same way, you can write a POSIX-fulfilling set of header files that interface to a non-C implementation.

And once you replace every component... you've replaced C.

The range of latitudes for which DST makes sense is roughly 30°-50°: those latitudes where summer solstice is 14-16 hours of daylight.

On one hand is, "A researcher in human intelligence at Utah Valley University". On the other are, "the 29 best-selling introductory psychology textbooks in the US - some written by among the most eminent psychologists alive".

Why would I believe the former? I'm not saying that Utah Valley U. researchers shouldn't raise questions, but that the standard for what I'm going to take at face value is much higher than one study that contradicts everyone else. One study is just the start of the start of a discussion. I think I'll let the body of evidence accumulate and let experts weigh in.

One psychological concept I'm familiar with is confirmation bias. This article confirms beliefs held by some at HN about political bias, authority, and accuracy in science, (and unfortunately, an effort to rationalize and justify racism by finding some basis for it). That doesn't make this report any more likely to be accurate. Apparently, 29 leading textbooks contradict it; if not for the bias, why not take 29 publications at face value instead of 1?

EDIT: a bunch of edits; sorry for the mess.

EDIT: I'll add that this one study was published "in an open-access article in Archives of Scientific Psychology". It's not even peer-reviewed [EDIT2: It is, in fact, peer reviewed; sorry. I still expect the textbooks to be reviewed much more carefully than one paper.]

How come on every thread showing an example of how to do something in Rust there's a staunch C++ defender thinking the whole world should be using their language? C++ is a complex beast that due to its age has quite a number of disadvantages and no two codebases I've seen are the same - a measure of a language is its simplicity and C++ subjectively isn't thus. If you like C++ that's fine; doesn't mean you can't do it in Rust as well.

I think it's good that other languages are evolving that are safer, make it easier to do concurrency, have an idiomatic style and still are performant whilst removing legacy cruft. It's the natural evolution of things. Every C++ team I've been on debates every feature usage (e.g. auto/lambdas/etc) where one team's good code is another's bad idea due to sheer amount of legacy features vs new ways, what language constructs are good vs completely bad ideas (everyone has completely different opinions), how should I import libraries, what build tool to use, etc.
From the webpage: "The City codes do not address land use."

These regulations appear to deal with things like setbacks, street access, etc. but it sounds like you can do whatever you want on the land. I think these regulations are just to deal with how to divide up a parcel of land, rather than to regulate anything you do with it.
That's actually quite a poor book. It essentially defines debt as any, absolutely any, sense of liability towards another being. When you define it like that, it isn't only true that debt predate money, it's obvious.

Besides that, the book is a collection of anecdotes carefully selected to try to paint a coherent picture. It is clearly written by someone who doesn't understand economics, to a public that doesn't understand economics.

It is so full of basic mistakes that it is hard to decide if the problem is ignorance, laziness or malice.

You only have the cultural expectation of "always get up at 7am" because of the insane timezone system. If sunrise changes throughout the year, changing the time you wakeup is the natural answer. Having an obtuse and indecipherable timekeeping system instead is insane.

The answer is to get up at 5 in the Summer and 7 in the Winter, or even better to get up at 10 in the Summer and 12 in Winter since you would put everyone on UTC.

If everyone was on the same time table society would quickly adopt a strategy where business hours shift seasonally. In Summer your hours might be 12-22, in Spring and Fall have them be 13-23, and in Winter have them be 14-00. They already do that, except the government changes everyones clocks at once rather than just changing business hours every season. Its less overhead to change business hours than every clock, especially when you factor international scheduling around DST changes and timezone changes.

>The idea of having your own home on your own plot of land is something that is deep in the American psyche.

This idea destroys what any normal people think of as actual rural or country life. Densely clustered homes and buildings (like this: http://www.citymetric.com/sites/default/files/styles/nodeima... or like this: http://tomsavagebooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Swiss-t...) do a much better job of preserving the landscape and the ecology than sprawling out (like this: http://l7.alamy.com/zooms/d46e2d569d6948eea499aa20f2d1709c/n...) does.

Also, the appeal of living in the country isn't privately owned "wide open spaces" it's that cozy small town vibe where everyone knows each other and is in each others' business all the time (for better or worse). If all you want to have a ton of space for yourself it's actually fairly easy to do that, it's just hard to expect society to subsidize the infrastructure that makes it convenient and easy to have your social and commercial needs met at the same time.

>If we promoted a culture of remote work, then people could live where they wanted, more wealth would get spread out through the country rather than being concentrated in NYC and Silicon Valley, and the affordability of living in cities would rise.

Cities have what are called agglomeration effects. Work isn't just punching a clock for a wage, especially not knowledge work. It takes creativity and collaboration to get good results and not being able to do that in real way with your colleagues just doesn't work.

Also, most people in nice cities actually rather enjoy it once you take noise and cost of living issues out of the equation. The former is just a problem of not investing enough in noise abatement and the latter is just an issue of not having enough mixed-use urban land available for the number of people who want that lifestyle.

>more wealth would get spread out through the country rather than being concentrated in NYC and Silicon Valley

Or you could spread a culture of urbanism so places like Cincinnati or Minneapolis can build themselves the same kinds of civic amenities that draw people to New York and Silicon Valley and fostered the kinds of entrepreneurship that made those cities into what they are today.

The wealth in NYC and SF aren't properties of the soil. Those places are rich because the people there built businesses that made them rich. Sure, having major ports helped but that hasn't been a significant enough factor to bring cities like Baltimore, New Orleans, or St. Louis to prominence in the modern economy.
You're right, the article didn't provide evidence for it, though it did add two pictures with anti-minority and anti-hippie imagery (without attribution).

I wish I could provide you something more than this, but in my anecdotal experience as a minority in many ways, yes. I don't have the statistical evidence to agree or disagree though.

> I've heard Berkeley has similar NIMBYism, and that's a very liberal area, right?

Berkeley has less of it (again, in my anecdotal experience as a minority) than most other parts of the Bay. Most of Berkeley's NIMBYism seems to be confined to parts around North Berkeley.

> Is Sunset really that conservative?

From my time in the neighborhood, yes. It was older and more racially segregated than other parts of SF for sure. The neighborhood tended to be split into Chinese (mostly Cantonese) and white sections, and even when neighbors were of different races, most people stuck to a clique. Residents were also much older (older than my parents). Again though, this is just my anecdotal experience.
