Yeah, but a well written profile and message can go a long way even if you look fairly average (for a man).

The messages and profiles most men do on these sites are awful. You don't have to work that hard to stand out from the crowd.

In fact my most recent OKC experience went like this - reviewed all the women in this city (it's not a large city and it's not in America so this is quite possible), picked the one I liked the most, messaged her. Got a reply the next day, first date a few days later.

That said, Tinder is pretty useless for men. But then you can't send high quality messages and the UX makes it annoying to view profiles, so what a big surprise. The number of women who post Tinder profiles saying they don't want hookups is ridiculous - the entire app is optimised for nothing but that. They should be on more traditional dating sites; I suspect they can't be bothered writing or reading profiles however.

Currently trying to learn quantum physics on my own (with no previous education in physics, only a CS degree). Very hard, but surprisingly, some analogies from machine learning can be helpful (a ket vector is like the sample, a bra vector is the set of coefficients, multiplying both gives you a measurement... this kind of thing). It can be wrong, but similarities in mathematical structures help immensely.

Uh, IRC still exists. Not only that, but you can use IRC in the browser, on places like Freenode and Snoonet.

I'm currently on freenode #reprap right now, talking to 300 some different people. We're still doing exactly what you're nostalgic for. And, I've met a handful of them in person at 3d printing conventions. (Link: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=reprap to chat on IRC right now)

Just because shiny new thing's moved in, doesn't mean that the old thing still isn't in use!

I'm also the same nickname on freenode as I am here. And still cranky as ever!
Me too. Definitely gives me a good feeling that if things go really bad I can call for help. Hope I will never use it.

Usually the advice is to stay where you are. This conserves energy and reduces the search area because most hikers leave for a specific destination known to friends. If you get lost and try to find your way out, you increase the search space.

> For people between 25 and 54, in America, there are almost exactly as many men as women, to within less than one percent

Even if true, this means nothing w.r.t. men struggling to find women. Like with most other things in life, a few good (looking) men, rich men, charismatic men disproportionately (get to) date several women, whereas most (,not all) women tend to be loyal to 1 guy [1], so that leaves a lot of men with no potential mate...

Natural selection at it's finest.

[1] Because society says that if a man has many women, he is a 'Casanova' / 'Player' whereas if a woman has many men, she's labelled a 'Hoe' / 'Bimbo'. So women, even if they desire to be with more than 1 man at a time, either suppress it, or do it very discretely.

This development is not surprising. From the beginning, Microsoft's brilliance been in figuring out how pc's could be used in the enterprise. It was only a lucky side-effect that it also became the king of consumer computing.

A consequence of this is that MS has always focused on making their OS and applications useful for businesses, at a great sacrifice in ease of use and security for consumers. Apple jumped in to focus on ease of use and security, but their computers have always been too expensive for mass adoption.

Now Google is going for the mass market with a secure and easy to use OS. Microsoft can't really fight back because to do would mean abandoning the business market. And it understandably doesn't want to do that because that's where the big bucks are. So we should expect to see ChromeOS steadily gaining in popularity, though it is an open question as to how far it will also go in the enterprise.
It is just ridiculous when I watch American TV series.

Lonesome woodmen are body-built and have their chest shaved. Post-apocalypse survivors and cavemen are body-built and have their chest shaved. Zombies are body-built and have their chest shaved. Pirates are body-built and have their chest shaved. I guess aliens and werewolves are body-built and have their chest shaved too.

They may have hirsute faces, but the torso is waxed.

Whatever the time (past, present, future), the culture, the living conditions are supposed to be; the directors, the casting directors, and the actors do not care a bit: they will all have their chest waxed. That it makes no sense at all and is beyond ridiculous doesn't seem to bother them a bit.

I also see Indian government recently requested British government for soft reparations.
i.e., to identify the fact that British have completely exploited India in terms of their finance.
They also said, when British ruled India, they killed nearly millions of people on purpose and their exploitation of Indian work-force.

This is also raising an awareness among some of Indian population.

Prediction Markets were at one time supposed to be the “secret weapon” of neoliberalism. They would so predict the future, that corporations would become unstoppable, much like the company that hires Ben Affleck in the movie “Paycheck”.

Most laughably, in 2003, Admiral John Poindexter, thought it would be a brilliant idea to launch a “terrorism and coups-d’etat prediction market”.

About 2 months after it launched, he became persona non grata in the Washington defense scene and was forcibly retired from DARPA.

Kim did stay with the vehicle (and his family) for something like a week before going for help. I think this might have been the right decision at that point, because his youngest child was 7 months old and would not have been able to survive without food nearly as long as an adult would.

Kim's wife and children did stay with the car and were rescued some time later. But at the point that Kim left the car he had to be thinking that searchers weren't going to find them in time.

I've often wondered if Kim's fatal mistake wasn't leaving for help but rather leaving the road he was on and going cross country. By the time he made the decision to do that, his thinking might have been very seriously impaired indeed, though.

Over a decade? That long ago, we were storing image uploads in a BLOB column in Oracle! I used Heroku, AWS and GAE within a year of each of their debuts, and if I recall correctly, there weren't a lot of frameworks that had a handy dandy approach to generically storing uploads in <XYZ-CLOUD>. Were there any even?

And as for Action Cable, I hear anycable.io can give you a performance boost if you need it. I've used websockets in both Node.js and Java Spring and although it's awesome for some use cases, a majority of apps will never reach for it. So this is a good example of Rails focusing on things that will help most people without trying to cover every tool that everyone will ever desire.

If you want a professional association like engineers, lawyers or doctors, it needs to have a clear public benefit. Benefiting software developers is not enough. That is one of the important differences between a professional association and a union.

I think in practice, the line is much fuzzier than you describe. Union rights are also written into law with the implication that they benefit society directly and indirectly. An electricians' union at least ostensibly benefits society through making certain qualified people engage in electrical work and even having qualified medical attendants has obvious benefits.

Of course, one can point to huge potential benefits to society from making certain that various sorts of software is constructed correctly so the case for a professional software engineers' association isn't that hard.

> They are going to win multi-billion-dollar contracts if the US or other countries decide to rebuild their grids.

That’s only true if Tesla can build large grid-scale storage at a price and in a time frame competitive with other technologies. Tesla knows how to assemble lithium ion cells into packs at a good price point, and they have voltage-boosting rectifiers (aka battery chargers) that are compact and presumably cheap. One would imagine they have a decent inverter technology, seen in the Powerwall for example, but there’s no strong evidence it’s any better than anyone else’s.

The grid doesn’t need compact power electronics that have high energy-to-weight ratios, though. It needs reliable power electronics that work at high voltage as a good energy-to-coat ratio.
> Its a good point, if you overlook the fact that the British destroying the Indian & Chinese economy (through war/invasion) created a vacuum for the US economy (British colony at the time) to flourish.

You're making some sort of moral argument, but the argument against protectionism isn't moral. Protectionism is stupid from an economic perspective, no matter if India or the U.S. does it. If there's a moral argument to be made, it's against protectionism: It denies citizens to partake in free trade and therefore makes them poorer.

What's in it for India if everyone has to use the (inevitably crappier) Indian version of Google, Facebook or Amazon? It's not like anybody outside of India is going to want to use that stuff, so it doesn't bring in foreign capital. It'll just reallocate local tech talent to a domestic market that is less profitable than the international market. It makes no sense.

That's exactly why people need to bring in emotions and hot words like "colonialism": To make a psychologically powerful (but irrational) case. It might just work.

> Never forget India was #1 in world GDP (for more than 1000 years) pre-invasion.

I'd be skeptical about estimates on GDP dating to 1000 A.D., but if there's anything to learn here it's that you should probably spend some of that GDP on defense, lest you get invaded by tiny-old Britain.
