What is your evidence that it has been like that for a long time? If anything in the past people were a lot more immobile which means it would be easier for them to eventually make new friends over time.

Considering the evolutionary argument, what happens is the opposite of what one would expect - when people are getting old they are more in need of friends for practical reasons - failing physical condition. So if there is an evolutionary reason, it's probably a paradox.

It may be true however that people seek more alone time as they get older - our brains become less excitable, less craving of novel environments and people and information etc. That's a behavior that's related to aging however, not evolution.
Seems interesting, will give it a try tonight. Thanks for sharing!

NETFLIX PROXY ERROR FIX – BEST 4 VPN WORKAROUNDS
Nobody forces you to use channels in Go, I use them rather rarely, in 9 out of 10 cases it's to pass around a stop handler for some activity loop. That's where they are quite useful.

I think of myself of an older generation so my approach to concurrency is to use locks and fancy data structures and fancy architecture to avoid race conditions.

I would suggest looking into how easy it is to write an HTTP handler in Go. That involves plenty of go routines. Each connection is a go routine. Each HTTP request also gets it's own (in HTTP/2 the former and later may not be the same).

I don't have to think about the blocking nature of an operation to, for a recent example, fetch and parse a remote webpage, I simply do it. The Go runtime will take care of scheduling the goroutines such that if a new request comes in while I'm a tight loop the HTTP server can continue to handle queries.

In JS land however, I can't write tight for loops without potentially blocking up the entire server.

You mentioned the solution yourself, hide the async nature of the code. My HTTP code doesn't read like async code until you hit global resources. That's what I essentially want.

I do not want to think about async until I need it and when I need it I should be able to pretend it's sync without cognitive overhead; that enables me to efficiently reason about the steps a routine takes before every resource a request uses is released again.
> does this truth

It's not truth at all. Just an observation. It happens to fit with my perceptions. That's it.

You can artificially define truth by tying it to a particular frame of reference, but that's not "the truth", as that frame of reference is not 100% transferable to others anyway. The idea of umwelt, as I understand it, seems to work here. Still, it's just an observation, an impression.

I'm not really saying anything new here. Descartes was saying something similar quite a long time ago. Then again, he could have meant something else entirely and there's no way for me to know which is it. I just assume my understanding is close enough to the intended meaning. I may well be completely wrong on this.

Basically, there's nothing you can be really sure about, including the fact that you can't be really sure about anything. There are only things that appear to work for you and, possibly, others. You can use them. Just don't believe them unquestioningly.
Show HN: Tools to control Philips TV via command line
I think the fear of changing infrastructure code is usually not rooted in bad practices, but rather immature tools and practices.

Speaking from experience, it's really hard to get infrastructure as code deployments as bulletproof as application deployments, because you're so dependant on the toolchain, and its interaction with the provider (AWS, Azure, etc).

And in some cases, it's impossible to actually do a clean infrastructure deployment without some manual steps, which leaves you wondering what new changes might need manual steps as well. 'Which problems have I not encountered yet?'
Jury verdict has to be unanimous, so she had to convince the majority by offering the argument, but they are instructed to judge on the basis of the law and she likely submitted to the thought that she was unable to derive the unjustice of the law from first principles, the constitution etc. not the least because the viability of law as is, whether subjectively unfair or not is... I don't think I could, either.

Re: your final paragraph, that shows you haven't been paying attention to what I've been saying. If you read my comments you'll notice I've said "biological or evolutionary", and aging is most definitely biological. Anyway, you're wrong to assume that has nothing to do with evolution!

I have some information...

1. When methane is burned, the carbon dioxide emissions are about 30% lower per unit energy than when liquid fuels are burned (50 g/MJ for methane, vs abt 74 g/MJ for liquid fuels)
2. When LNG is produced, an additional ~10% CO2 is generated, via energy consumption in the gas liquefaction plant
3. Methane leakage from production plant and pipelines is estimated at about 3% of total. This adds a greenhouse gas effect of about 63% (since methane is ~21 times more potent than CO2, greenhouse-effect-wise).
4. Pollutants such as sulfur oxides and soot from natural gas combustion are essentially nil. Heavy fuel oil for ships can have a very high sulfur content.

Sooo... it is quite possible that natural gas use has a higher climate change impact, due to leakages. For other pollutants, natural gas produces less.

Sublime is just such a great editor. I came from Vim and was so pleased to find out about it. My languages of choices are PHP and HTML/CSS/Js with VueJS, and I've tried all the major editors out there. Nothing beats Sublime performance. Moreover, while VSCode has nice enhancements, for the languages I'm working on, I don't feel it has anything to bring that would beat Sublime. Sublime is just so damn fast and has great plugins. The killer feature is the lack of battery consumption - I work mostly on battery and VSCode/Atom are just CPU drainers.

How to Improve Your Cognitive Thinking
> I'm not an accountant but presumably you treat it the same as the fairly common purchase+service contract

I'm not a certified accountant either but I took the course just to understand workings of my business.

> they can change to allowing the user to keep the latest version they upgraded to without serious consequence

It'll be in their best interests if they did.

> you can just as easily sell "product version X with one year of updates" which is very common as well, and mark that as revenue right away

You definitely can. But you end up overstating your revenue and in turn your profits. The downside to that is you end up paying high taxes (unless you can minimize your profit by showing a ton of expenses as well). If it was instead treated as Unearned Revenue (which is a liability), you would be stating your true income and showing lower profits and thereby paying lower taxes.

Take for instance the case where your customer purchases a multi-year subscription. This causes a higher cash flow (assets go up) but you won't be overstating your income (as liability goes up by classifying it as Unearned Revenue instead of owner's equity). The liability can be reduced by claiming it as revenue over a multi-year period. If it was marked as revenue at the time of sale, the owner's equity (retained earnings) would go up. That would mean showing higher income which results in higher profits and you end up paying high taxes.

Remember that with unearned revenue you can carry it over to multiple financial years and spread your income between them. You lose out on this important tax saving component if you mark as revenue right away. This also has the advantage of portraying a true picture of your business in your books of accounts.

I'm not sure that your metaphor illuminates the issue at hand.
True, it's possible to industrialise the model. The difference between the two types isn't purely based on the size of the business/creator, since as mentioned the likes of Disney/Nintendo/Apple have true fans in spades and there are small sites/YouTube channels/shops that have no brand to speak of and compete purely on price or convenience.

But the difference is that if say Nintendo were small, they could probably still at least keep going with a few thousand fans, whereas a failing business going the Walmart/Amazon route would likely fold quite quickly.

Parent didn’t say that population dropped. He said that the state is losing more residents to domestic immigration than it’s gaining. Thus the housing issues are not due to domestic immigrants creating too much demand.

I’m pretty certain this doesn’t actually apply to the Bay Area in isolation, though. Population there is climbing much faster than the birth rate, I’d expect.

I suspect the answer is a bit of 1 and a bit of 2. I mean, if you've got a product or service aimed at webmaster/developer type users, you've got a bunch of places your audience is likely going to be reading already, like Product Hunt and Hacker News. Your users are also likely less conservative about trying out new products or services than ones in a different market might be as well, which helps a lot.

So in these cases, it makes sense these stories work out the way they do.

On the other hand, if your product is say... basket weaving equipment or gardening tools, then I suspect the people on Product Hunt and Hacker News might be a lot less interested in it, the people on social media might be a lot less interested in it and your potential users might be less willing to take a punt on an unproven business.

And obviously yes, the people who like growth hacking and SEO and online marketing in general are more likely to create products or services that reflect that.
Notepad++ is definitely an option if you're on Windows and looking for something free(it's GPL-licenced). Feature-wise it's on a par with Sublime but it has slightly less polished UX, e.g. there's no real-time regex highlighting or markdown formatting, at least not out of the box.

When companies are worth less than their debt obligations, the debt holders get all the claims. This means all the revenue in a sale, or they can wind up owning the company. (This is oversimplified but directionally correct)

With Birchbox, one equity investor later provided debt. Others didn’t. When the company dropped in value, the debt holder wound up owning the whole thing.

Where MMT goes wrong is the relevance of all this. They succumb into "banking mysticism" and assume far too large macroeconomic role to banking.

Banks don’t create demand out of thin air by providing loans.

While banks can create loans "out of thin air" in some extent (careful with technical details), they are limited by their reserves. Central bank controls the size of the money supply, because it is the source of bank reserves and capital requirements.

Serious question: why is that a problem?

Most modern apartment buildings here in Warsaw, Poland are built without gas. Nobody has problems with it: in fact, people would rather not have a potentially dangerous gas infrastructure in their building. I've been cooking on electric for more than 10 years now and would never think of switching back.

Rye starter, but after the first bread the starter is whatever you mixed for the bread, plus feeding every 2-3 days with rye flour.

Here again, keep things simple: don't worry about salt in your starter, as long as you feed it every 2-3 days, the effective salt content will go down and things will be fine.

The current starter I have in my fridge also has sunflower seeds, because that's what I mix into my bread. Who cares?

Again: you can go as complex as you wish with your bread, but the advantage of rye sourdough is that it can be dead simple to make and take very little time, with excellent results. This is what makes it great in my book!

This is my same experience. I even install VS Code on remote machines and just use X Forwarding, works pretty well thus far.

I still keep Sublime around as my sorta notes editor where I keep opening new tabs for different things cause everytime I close it (despite not saving anything) it comes back with everything I have, then I wipe all the tabs after a while.

If ST3 had the plugin ecosystem that VS Code has I wouldn't mind using it again. I think ST3 needs to make itself have a much more powerful plugin architecture.

With VS Code I get so much out of the box, with ST3 I have to install the plugin management (I think they might of changed this to be installed by default in more recent versions idr).

To whoever works on either ST3 or VS Code: Thank you, you guys do great work!
