I think technology is the reason we're lonely. We can talk to people without seeing them or hearing their voice, we can ghost on people while talking to them, we can easily find another event or person to hang out with that isn't you, dating is entirely and solely based on physical attraction and swiping either way on someone's picture, you can look at other people from up to 50, 100 miles away if you want where we just had social circles and 'tribes' before. I've given up on dating here in Seattle, it's extremely tough even as a lesbian here. Our social lives are fairly superficial I feel.

I feel like I'm now part of the Seattle freeze after 3 years, but it's not exactly hard to make friends here. I'm extremely shy and have bad social anxiety, but managed to make quality lasting friends when I got here by using Reddit, Facebook groups, and meetup (no longer use any of these, so add +50 depression points). Most still talk to me and hang out with me frequently. It's also rainy, dark, with crippling depression for 9/12 months.

> the [partial] solution tends to get criticised for the half of the problems it doesn't solve, and the [ineffective] solution doesn't get criticised at all.

It comes out as criticism, and I agree you're right to critique it, but I think it's intended to be persuasion. People completely write off the "solution that solves no problems" and just look for a way to bypass it. If they see a half-solution, they see potential for improvement, and naturally try to realize the potential. But most people aren't very good at being really persuasive; they just see their own point of view and become critical/forceful.

To add to this: Cargo is more of a development tool for Rust programmers rather than a package manager for end users. Both types of tools have a lot in common, which is why things like `cargo install` exist and are very useful. In the case of `xsv`, it's a useful escape hatch since your distro doesn't package `xsv`, but `cargo install` is not like `apt install`. That is, it downloads all of the source code dependencies of `xsv` and builds them. This also requires sync'ing with crates.io's registry list. None of this is unnecessary in the standard Cargo workflow in order to build xsv, but the build artifacts are certainly unnecessary in order to run xsv.
Every once in a while you hit a JDK bug that you cannot work around. You post a bug to Oracle (Sun in the past) and find out it's a duplicate that has been sitting around for years unfixed.

If you have paid support, a small team of engineers will dedicate their time to fix the bug for you and provide you with a patch, so you can move on. The patch can sometimes be specific for your platform and situation.

This is particularly true if you are stuck with older JDK version and cannot move forward for various reasons.

> Liberalism seems to have just done away with it and left nothing to replace it

The original "inventors" of social liberalism (and arguably its most vocal supporters today) did have replacements: strong friend circles where they were popular, political parties with strong ideological roots, cultural clubs, societies of shared interests, etc. They fought for auto-determination precisely because they wanted equal dignity for their preferred replacements, in the face of institutional snobism. At the end of the day, even anarchists have clubs.

The real problem is that very little is done in education, in most countries, to let kids explore different social groups and perspectives in order to choose the one they fit best; and even less is done for lonely adults. They are usually grouped per age and along fairly omogeneous class lines, which is a complete crapshoot.
There are facts. You said yourself "The fact that two dead bodies discovered may not be under dispute." That's the fact. Everything else you said isn't a fact, it's a hypothesis. Just because people don't know the difference between a fact and a hypothesis/conclusion doesn't mean there are no facts; unless you want to go full ontological skeptic and dispute that it is possible to ever know anything (never go full sophist!).

The real issue is that we have a breakdown of good faith in civil conversation. That makes society impossible. At the point where you argue that there are not two bodies in front of me, even though there are two bodies in front of me, I might as well stop arguing with you and instead start punching you. Then you can argue that your pain is just theoretical.
And mine.
The causative study pointed to people who were specifically diagnosed. There's a probable difference in shed-rates in people who have recurring outbreaks v. people who don't.

I believe there's also a difference in outbreak rates in people who have ApoE4 v. people who don't, but I shouldn't be quoted on that. But you're right in asking, and the answer is probably to go to a doctor if you see new sores and get on the antivirals if you're diagnosed.

This means that students who are unfortunate enough to attend the shittiest of the shitty for profit vulture colleges like ITT Tech and Evergreen University and Kaplan University, etc etc etc, are all stuck paying heavy loans for their currently unmarketable degrees.
You shouldn't pick up that sense, you shouldn't assume people are calling entire peoples dumb, etc. I think that mentality you assume is absolutely not very strong. In many cases, envy and embarrassment is much stronger. By arguing from your assumed perspective you are not doing so in good faith and disappointing.
In my part of the US (Northeast Massachusetts) libraries address the cost of duplicate items by joining into consortia. I can, from the online catalog, "place a hold" on any book in any member library. A daily courier makes the rounds and picks up the held books from the owning library and brings them to my library. They then send me a text saying "pick up your book."

The post office also transports books library-to-llibrary at a very favorable rate if need be.

It's a great way to measure demand for books, and buy what's needed where needed. It also allows library patrons access to a much larger collection than an individual town library could.
It's simple. Physics uses mathematics to construct equations that describe properties of physics.

The difference is physics has reality to test against - observations that can be measured. Math does not have this. Math's only metric against itself is itself.

I’m unsure how you got the idea that libraries are only places to read books. Every library I’ve ever been to also provided a variety of other services: access to computers, various workshops and free classes, a place to host clubs and other community meetings, and also a workspace for students and adults. Even in the most rural libraries I’ve been to I’ve been able to grab a flyer or brochure of multiple events occurring that month in the library- everything from the local crochet club to child-oriented book clubs to free classes on basic internet research.
Yeah, but one needs to provide scan of US/internationally recognized passport. Then mostly every country has FATCA agreement with US. Abundance of keys and IDs to just link lines.
Just FYI: Matomo has nearly none impact to the loading performance as it is always loaded async and deferred (so only after the page has finished loading).

If this is still too slow for you, you could try the official QueuedTracking plugin [1], which tracks into a redis or mysql database and processes the requests afterwards.
That way you should get to about 30ms for the request.

> video game arcades from my childhood as the best examples of places where people got together to have safe fun

As much as I loved '80s arcades (and wasted way too much money in them), "safe" is not exactly a word I'd use. Many of them, in Italy, quickly became drug markets or money-laundering operations (or both). Arguably, the few surviving ones are even worse today. They were not very healthy either, with no natural light and people smoking.

But yeah, it was a place to go with friends, and I have great memories about those times. Our furious NBAJAM challenges were the stuff of legend.
The .NET ecosystem is minuscule compared to Java, especially when it comes to alternative languages running on the virtual machine. So no, for a lot of people it's not a real alternative.
Not a doctor; can't give you medical advice. Just giving deductions I'm making based on current research which could all play out to be very, very wrong.

Valacyclovir is brand-named Valtrex. Basically, if you're ever diagnosed with herpes of any variant, you should ask your doctor about what to expect if you go on Valacyclovir to ward off recurring outbreaks. If those side effects don't sound disagreeable to you v. the possible mitigation of dementia/alzheimer's, then it might make sense to go on it.

The risk reduction study (https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/322463.php) focused on a population which had specifically been diagnosed.

Ask HN: Why do people blindly trust closed source security software?
You see this over and over again. Here's a great example. Google "how to detect a keylogger" and you get advice to install malware bytes and spybot. The huge problem, of course, is that they want you to install MORE possibly compromised software.

VPN software is another big one. "Hey I really need to protect my privacy. So the very first thing I'm going to do is install third party software for a VPN".

If you want browser security you should install x, y, and z extension. etc.

There at any number of potential problems a politician may be called on to propose solutions for. We can’t expect them to be experts in each and every one. Right now, the “best” advice they get is probably from those who care the most, i.e. those who have a financial stake in the outcome.

Politicians need better topic advisors that represent their average constituent.
>Maybe its the lack of sunlight. Maybe its the layout of the city. Maybe its the high cost of living, or the abundance of people who didn't grew up here, or tech. But it seems everyone defines themselves through their job, and everyone has pretty much the same job, and not much else going for them.

All of the above. Commuting 1-3 hours every day solely due to traffic the city is doing absolutely nothing about so you end up having an 11-13 hour day most days, most non-engineers having to live 10-40 miles outside of the city where all you can really do is stay inside, you work so much in the city that going back there or staying there after work is mentally painful, the homeless problem and seeing all kinds of stuff a human shouldn't see such as death on the streets or people high as s#-t on meth roaming around the city screaming about shooting up schools, the cost of living is far too high in the entire region for a lot of minimum wage ($15/hr is not liveable within 10+ miles of the city) workers. Unless you live in the city, traveling to a friends house can be 45min - 2 hours by public transit. Employers don't give vacation time unless you're corporate and are a $100k+ salary worker. Employers needed to be mandated by the city to just give 5 paid sick days. Seattle is very exploitative and fisically right wing; its not this socialist paradise everyone makes it out to be.

Those stats don't imply anything about fertility rates. IVF has gotten far more accessible and affordable since the early 1980s. The 1 in 8 stat was likely just as true in 1984, it just meant they'd been trying for a year without success. Now that gets you a referral to a clinic (and you're more likely to accept that referral).

If you're homeless, (in the UK) you can wash and keep dry in a shopping centre (mall) which will have far better facilities.

I have been reading his blog for years (ever since Calculated Risk, another great economics blog, pointed to him). He has been beating the same drum the entire time. His point is that the mechanics of how an economy work at the macro level reduce to a simple set of equations between investment, savings and consumption. And that those equations force hard choices that have political implications.

I have passed some articles to economics professors I know, but haven't heard whether Pettis' ideas make sense from a theoretical perspective. I know they make sense to me, a layman.

Older languages like C/C++, Java, Javascript and Perl5, regardless of their versioning schemes, have been mostly stable for decades. There were minor breaking changes from time to time but the language cores are largely compatible backwardly. Newer languages like Go is on a similar path. This is what we need for a programming language.

How long will Julia keep its backward compatibility? Based on the history, I suspect that in five years, Julia will release v2.0 and break a lot of user code again. Hope I am wrong here.
It struck me when I went back to college for a reunion how the college social experience is so different from the adult experience. The parties are the obvious example, but you can still go to parties as an adult. The main thing is that your spend your waking hours with other people. You may have roommates, or, if you're lucky enough to have your own room, you're sharing a hallway, a bathroom, mail room, etc, with people around you. You eat meals with other people. You walk around campus, with other people and/or running into other people out doing the same thing. If you want to hangout with people outside of the regular routine, they're usually 1-10 minutes walk away. It's like the Steve Jobs office plan, designed to get people to bump into each other. You can have solitude if you want it, but you have to work for it. (Being introverted, I didn't always appreciate that.)

As an adult, if you live the "American Dream" and end up with a nice house in the suburbs, it's possible to not see anyone outside the office, except through the windshield of your car. Your car will deposit you back inside your garage at the end of the day, so there's not even a chance to interact with your neighbors (something Bin Laden pointed out in his plans for people to blend in without notice). In the name of convenience, schools and other activities have drop-off and pickup lines of cars, so there's no real social interaction there. We have scheduled and optimized our way to a lot of unhappiness.

It reminds of me of creatures in the zoo, out of their natural environment, looking sad and lonely and bored. Except we often work really hard to put ourselves in the zoo.

Mistakes C/C++ Devs make: writing Go.
So you think it's appropriate for tools like ripgrep and xsv to bundle a gui toolkit to do its job?

I feel like this whole line of argument is disingenuous. In Rust, you don't need to bundle a GUI toolkit to get cross platform stuff that works. The standard library was built with Windows in mind, and it shows. You don't need any additional POSIX layer. You just use the standard library.

If you go and look at competitors to things like xsv and ripgrep that are written in C or C++, they either require some kind of POSIX thing on Windows to run correctly (like cygwin), or they jump through lots of hoops to behave as a native Windows application.

It really should not be a controversial statement to say that Rust has a better cross platform story (Windows/mac/Linux). It was a design goal.
