GQ... LOL! "We're going to take the women down with us." The same magazine that publishes about "toxic masculinity." There are plenty of virile men out there - but I imagine very few are journalists! Restricting calories, "soy boys," lack of exercise, lack of quality animal products - of course you're going to have a low sperm count! I would say, be honest - and tackle your mental and physical issues before your sperm count - and it will likely rise on its own. Besides, someone with poor mental and physical health shouldn't become a father or mother yet anyway.
As someone who grew up in/around DC and works almost entirely with recent transplants (mostly Southerners, for some reason), I think that Seattle Freeze article definitely applies here, too. Lots of my coworkers seem to have had (or are still having) issues making friends. Not stated explicitly, but I think some of them have quit or will quit as a result. They've had better luck meeting people when traveling. It's kinda sad.

The images are part of the content here. The article attacks pointless obesity -- not large web pages period. Indeed, here is the first paragraph:

> Let me start by saying that beautiful websites come in all sizes and page weights. I love big websites packed with images. I love high-resolution video. I love sprawling Javascript experiments or well-designed web apps.

Also, the article never mentions the word "semantic" or the best practices around markup.

There is no hypocrisy here.

I wonder if we can learn from Japan. I’m sure they hsve studies about this given some aspects of their culture results in low real-life interactions with strangers, and they have a number of people[Hikkimori] who basically stay in days on end.

Not that one culture easily translates to another, but from a health perspective maybe we can learn from them.
Probably not.

Of course Taiwan is Chinese controlled — it's the Republic of China. It's just not controlled by the People's Republic of China or the Communist Party of China.
FWIW, your understanding is incorrect. While true that in US schools, all students are expected to complete a full 13 years of schooling (Kindergarten + 12 grades), students receive individualized courses of study. By high school, there may be 3-4 levels of instruction for Math ranging from remedial to college-bound, to college-level coursework. Additionally, non-college-bound students at most schools have the option of taking classes that prepare them for more traditional blue collar work (like automotive repair, etc) and often students have the option to go to a different school more aligned with their talents/skill level.

The primary difference between US and European education is in the US taking particular courses of study is the decision of the student/parents and not of the state.
I think startups are behind BigCo on this. This is a recent change at places like Facebook.

I recently took a new job at a startup with a 1 year cliff and 10/20/30/40 vesting schedule, so there’s still a lot of variance in the market.
We’d need some public body to do the fact checking. Perhaps we could call it ‘The Ministry of truth’.

> GP's suggestion was to switch profiles.

No, my suggestion was to create separate user accounts on the shared computer for each person--i.e., each person logs in to the computer with their own user account. That would make all of the website logins separate for each user, without anyone having to switch profiles in their browser.

However, I apparently misunderstood your problem; you don't want everything separate, you just want gmail separate while still sharing Chrome profiles. You're right that my suggestion won't solve that problem.

I take no joy in saying this, but I suspect that all else being equal, the result of this would be that people would just spend more time consuming media in isolation. Not basing this on feelings, but rather on having been up close with some (anonymized) wireless network datasets. People of all incomes and social strata spend absurd amounts of time in solipsistic media consumption.
To some extent some of those problems are better solved without technology.

- The diabetes and obesity crisis in America can't be cured by technology.

- IVF is often due to advanced aging, due to pressure to work later

- There was a time when kids could be left unattended 100 years ago. I'm curious why this has changed so much.

The decision makers are not programmers. The people making the choices on software in an enterprise are MBAs who know next to nothing about software and so they need some "insurance".

Look at the tech founded enterprises, they do not go the tradition enterprise software route. Why? Their leadership came from a developer background and not an MBA one.

It's also about the ability to follow rules (arbitrary or not). If you can't be trusted to follow the rules about not doing drugs, why should they assume you can be trusted to follow the rules about protecting classified information?

(That represents my understanding of the clearance processes' view of the issue, not my personal beliefs).
No, that is extraordinarily controversial.
I used to do this in chrome. You can click on your profile picture in the upper-right corner of the gmail UI to switch accounts. You end up having a different URL per user, like https://mail.google.com/mail/u/<number>, where <number> is 0 or 1 if you have two users. You can put these in bookmarks and have them open in different tabs.

John Clute calls the "as written in" year the Real Year of a science fiction book. It's quite an interesting concept when you start thinking in terms of it.
It’s so frustratingly hard to convince some people that their world does not exist in a vacuum. Even if you could magically move a job to your country/state/county or even your city/neighborhood, it would most likely still depend on work done elsewhere in the world. I just don’t know where to start with this viewpoint except to say it is obviously wrong to assume that one country (even a bigger one such as the US) can just handle itself.

I'm not saying that you're entirely wrong, because I've used that rationalization for keeping Facebook in the past.

"This may also help explain why trans people feel they are so often met with open hostility"

Thanks for being a home maker, which is the age-old proven roll for producing the best offspring - and society's future generations. It is merely the marketing of insecurity that allows so many to propose that "CEO" is so much more virtuous than "home maker" for a woman of child bearing age. None of the "modern alternatives" are alternatives at all - in that they've not been proven in the least to be comparable in effectiveness. And the people pushing hormones on pre-pubescent children because they're "questioning their gender" should be called out and ridiculed for the sake of these children's lives!

The fact that it isn't PC to admit that you like men ("manly men") is so ridiculous, but I agree that it is true (that is shunned). People are gaining political platform merely on the basis of the credential of being gay, trans, etc! Since when did wanting to have sex with a certain kind of person become so righteous?! This is all reminiscent of the culture of sexuality that the Greeks had during the final stages of their empire. The people who are mischaracterizing the issues we have with this generally as issues we have with them personally are not being intellectually honest. The destruction of the male & female gender roles, which balance and compliment each other - with no proposed alternatives with long-term studies - is suicidal for our civilization.

Thank you for speaking up... I think there are way more women who share your views & experience than almost anyone is admitting.

I'm very confused. Are we in the same world?

Afaik the issue this thread is about is primarily an issue in modern western societies, so that is what I am referencing specifically. The article I linked suggests that violence is at near all time lows in such societies.

Wow. Such as? Can you be specific? What you are saying sounds fairly dark and ominous.

I literally gave an example in my post. Horrible corrupt politicians resurrecting from the dead to fake support for a massively unpopular policy? They are going to get away with literally no consequences. You don't see any issues with this?

You think duels were "extremely effective" solutions to problems?

Nope, I don't. This was an example of how violence has been de-emphasized. The fact that something like this feels simply unfathomable in the current day shows how far off we really are. That being said, I wouldn't mind seeing a specific few of our politicians face off in a duel. Maybe then we could replace them with people not bought off by corporations.

What sort of 'political violence' do you mean? I guess a lot more violence would be even better at times, to solve those pesky problems where the normal amount isn't so effective?

I would prefer if it was used in situations where rule of law is proving to be ineffective. It just feels like the right to vote is not proving to be enough leverage in our current society. Take the Equifax hack. What basically amounts to criminal negligence of the data nearly every american gave them (essentially) unwillingly. These people are just going to walk? I'm not saying kill them or anything... but where are the protests? The broken windows? Why aren't there offices being stormed with protests? Like what is happening? The only possible explanation I can come up with is that people have been pacified. They've been taught that getting fucked over is just the normal way. Businesses and politicians are sociopathic and that's just the nature of the world. Don't do anything, don't fight back, just take it.

I don't see the logical connection between the two halves of that. At all. Is it that thing where people in the US seemingly can't abide the police having guns and people not having them?

Violence is an important tool to impart change. Why should the government be the only ones allowed to wield it? Is law enforcement truly the only incarnation of violence we are going to view as socially acceptable? Why should that be the case?
That’s interesting. Chicago is nowhere near the tech city that Seattle is, but I’ve found the tech meetup scene here to be pretty active and decent. Interestingly, some of the best meetups here (devops, tech in motion etc.) aren’t organized by tech folks but by non-tech folks working for tech companies.

Also I’ve found Chicagoans to be a friendly lot in general, including the techie types. Maybe it’s the midwestern thing, but it’s relatively easy to strike up a conversation with strangers. I think it has to do with a more balanced ratio folks in engineering and non engineering roles. Many of tech companies here are oriented around finance and marketing, rather than pure engineering.

Empirically I’ve found that meetups comprising solely of high IQ nerdy folks (eg C/C++ meetups) to be fairly awkward. I don’t want to fall into lazy stereotyping but I wonder if by concentrating certain types of talent in one area, one is inadvertently optimizing for specific traits at the expense of others?

I don't really like the new design and I'm wondering if it's just me.

Another related question is why tech companies really like to make changes about UIs, which in many cases I couldn't understand their motivations.
> magic powers have slowly morphed from Gandalf style vague mutterings and the occasional flashlight to basically being programs that a wizard can download, swap, upgrade, etc.

There's a (not particularly good) Russian fantasy book series where the premise is literally that - it's the usual "regular guy ends up in a magic world" kind of set-up, except that the guy is a software developer, and he discovers that magic is a great deal like OOP, and that his skills translate remarkably well. Of course, it's mostly just a Mary Sue story - the author being a Java developer, so far as I can tell - but it's interesting that someone else came up with this metaphor and developed it to that extent.
I'm also self taught, have done a lot of research code and product code, have worked on 'production' teams for over ten years and have had several PhD students as contributing team members.

The number one thing you can do is read through other people's code. If your colleagues are very good then you will learn a lot and pick up good habits, if they are so-so then you will build your self-esteem and sharpen your critical thinking skills. Some developers are shifty, and others love to talk about what they are doing and share insights. Spend time with the latter type.

Don't try to be an expert at everything, most teams should have self-selected individuals that choose to specialize in different areas that the team depends on.
No, the problem here is that no one is going to re-write UNIX derived OSes into something else, nor change their culture around C.

So there are only two options left, make C safe in some way no matter what, or just throw everything away.

The Linux Security Summit 2018 set of talks regarding kernel mitigation exploits is pretty clear how bad security exploits due to C are turning out to be.
I don't have any benchmarking data, but in my brief testing I found that to be the case. I'm using this setup on my openwrt 18.06 router.

Access to Mike is a very limited resource in that book, though - it's not on the equivalent of the local Internet (indeed, there doesn't seem to be one). The only reason why the protagonists succeed with their plans is because they manage to secure that access without any of the opposition aware of it.

What I am referring to is your suggestion that that views based more on moral perspective, rather than rational logic, ought be able to, at least in some cases, be used as imperatives in and of themselves. For instance do we have a rule that people ought not steal because it's amoral to take that which is the property of another without their agreement, or because if theft was legal then we'd see substantial harm to society? By contrast we do have some laws based almost exclusively on morals, which are generally based on religion, such as prohibitions against prostitution. In my opinion, the ideal legal system is one in which laws are cast around a lens of ensuring maximal freedom for all of society with restrictions only being when the logical consequence of such prohibited action would lead to 'reasonably clear' harm to society.

There indeed were absolutely abolitionists even as far back as Ancient Greece. I've no doubt the view even predates written language. Check out this writing from Aristotle [1]: "Others affirm that the rule of a master over slaves is contrary to nature, and that the distinction between slave and freeman exists by law only, and not by nature; and being an interference with nature is therefore unjust." It's even interesting that he also rather directly alluded to the exact logic I laid out above, "..if, in like manner, the shuttle would weave and the plectrum touch the lyre without a hand to guide them, chief workmen would not want servants, nor masters slaves.." Reading the classics is always surprising that such wisdom and clarity could be had by a people thousands of years past. At times it seems much more so than even modern man. Perhaps division and diversion are not conducive to the development of sound reasoning abilities.
