I had a look at Sieve. I like your vision and I'm eager to see what you'll be to able to contribute to make that vision a reality.

For my business in particular, such an all-in-one product doesn't make sense because I already have tools and processes in place for covering the various aspects of the business:

- website

- proposal management

- requirements engineering

- accounting

- CRM

- document management

- process automation (via Zapier, mostly)

I like to see this as a more UNIX kind of approach with specific tools for specific jobs that communicate with each other if needed. Even if I were to forego this approach in favour of a single tool or product that product would have to be better by at least an order of magnitude compared to my current setup. For what essentially still amounts to a process and management tool that's quite a tall order.

Freelancing / consulting isn't a one-size-fits-all, cookie cutter kind of business. Therefore, a unified product that tries to cover every aspect of the business probably isn't going to cut it, at least for those who've already been in the business for some time. However, they're likely also the most interesting audience for a product such as yours because they tend to have more revenue than businesses that just start out.

There's an admittedly - and unfortunately - quite large group of freelancers though your product might be very useful to: Those that don't do any kind of marketing (i.e. they often don't even have a website) and mostly rely on manual processes and middlemen to do their marketing for them.
Lower interest rates opened housing inventory to more people who were and ready to purchase it at already ridiculously low prices since the market crash of 2008. This is part of what got me into my house.

> You are simply letting a person to buy more of any big

True, but that is grossly incomplete. It suggests that single individuals (or agencies) are gobbling up a plurality of real estate. It is also true that many people are each purchasing single houses.

Also constrained inventory appears to be a reality only on the US coasts. In my geography they continue to build thousands more houses every year. Inventory is hardly limited and yet prices and demand are both continually increasing year over year.
Thatcher, a despicable witch, once said: "they [the homeless etc] are casting their problems on society and who is society? There is no such thing! There are individual men and women and there are families and no government can do anything except through people and people look to themselves first"[0]

A Selfish Gene, atomistic, self-centered worldview, one which precludes all prediction, modelling and appreciation of collective behaviour of the kind that emerges in complex networks like society.

It's a simplistic, neat, well-partitioned model that's easy to communicate and understand, and it totally fails to model real life.

I have heard a similar thing from friends who played the expat game for a few years. They lived in a compound where they could live as they wanted (within reason: no pork, no porn, etc), but the moment they stepped outside, the wives and daughters had to be chaperoned by a family male (father/husband or brother), or have written permission, wear a hijab, and be driven around by the male driver their company provided. They made a ton of money, but it seriously fucked up their kids who still resent them (the kids were teenagers at the time, that's possibly the worst time to live in such a messed up place)

Has GDPR meaningfully changed enforcement of rights? I’m familiar with the law itself and the details of it. (IAAL who practices in this area.) I’ve seen these regulatory pushes toward consumer-oriented privacy in the past, and they seem to serve the consulting industry above all. The consequences of breaking the rules are laughably impotent so far, despite more or less well-meaning words passed as binding legislation. Even the reputational damage of having your company featured in headlines about data leaks has fizzled. People don’t even seem to punish the offenders by shifting their spending habits. Am I wrong?
The market place is not perfect. But it has - over time - been a pretty good arbiter for those things that could give a business an edge, and computing power definitely is such a thing. Yes, they were ahead of their time. But being ahead of your time is not an advantage per-se, you need to be ahead of your time and you need to be able to deliver practical results which will give the users of your hardware an edge over the competition.

The marketplace sucks for things like healthcare, public transportation, infrastructure. But it works pretty good for many other things and if there is one success story in the last 6 decades then computing would be it.

Yes. The stereotype of a big city is that it’s cold and impersonal (and it can be).

On the other hand, it affords you more opportunity to meet people of like-mind.

Loneliness can be pretty bad in rural areas if you don’t fit into the community.

Africa is not a safe or friendly nation. Africans in the USA are hostile. I am a racist and am proud of the fact that I view Africans in the USA as enemy combatants and advocate for euthanizing Africans. Yep. You heard that right. I am proud to defend the USA against the Africans. I hate them and I want the ones if the USA dead or gone or enslaved. The Emancipation proclamation was a mistake. Africans need to be enslaved or they will kill whites. They are killer humans, not normal people.

Each African is a murderer. Africa is the murder continent.
I never said it was noble, but doing something in your own self-interest can still be positive. Even if the US revolution was for the founders financial benefit, the side effect was the spread of democracy and self-determination across the globe.

They might just be "lines on a map" but they mean something to people, just 50 years ago those "lines" were the difference between living in a communist hellhole and freedom and prosperity. There's a lot of cubans and eastern europeans who risked their lives to get on the other side of some lines on a map and get a better life for themselves and their children.

If people hadn't been willing to fight and die to defend those lines and their ability to live how they want, we wouldn't be able to have this discussion right now
I prefer being asked “tell me about yourself” because it allows me to choose to what depth and on what topics I want to open up about. I get to talk about things I find interesting in my life currently to the extent I want to talk about it. I don’t want to talk about my job or my company to people at work let alone strangers.
I’m not related to the GP.

Let me explain the point further:

Your readme has a performance section, that section focuses on nnn vs two other tools. You only benchmark against Memory usage under normal circumstances (ie no other performance metric, no other file system nor device types, etc). Then you have a whole other page dedicated to “why is nnn so much smaller” which is directly linked to from the performance comparisons. There’s no other way to take that other than you’re directly comparing nnn to other tools and objectively saying it’s better.

So with that in mind, I think the developers of the other tooare totally with in their right to challenge you on your claims.

Edit: the “multiple contributors” point you made is also rather dishonest too. It’s your personal GitHub account for a project you chiefly contribute too and the documents in question were created and edited by yourself (according to git blame). Yes nnn has other contributors too but it was yourself who wrote and published the claims being questioned.
While it is true that optimism generally is a sensible approach, I really dislike how it's often used to dismiss the various factors that can make it difficult for some to reach that top, or progress towards it.

Basically, it's good advice when applied to the self, but terrible when applied to others.

Personally, I find life in my culturally diverse city lonelier than when I lived in a small rural town. If only because most people would say hi or smile even if you didn't know them as they walk past you. In the city you tend get glared at or even have people act open hostile as they walk by. People seem to be less open to random conversation or just meeting strangers in general. More people around doesn't always equal less loneliness.
I’m highly skeptical. There’s only one piece of data cited in the article. In that data, the only mention of a possible trend is this

> shows that loneliness is worse in each successive generation.

Basically if you read the linked to report, the data show older people are less lonely than younger people right now. That’s not the same as showing loneliness increasing over time. There are many plausible reasons for younger people to be lonelier... it’s just as likely younger groups are always lonely and lose loneliness as they age.

The rest of the article talks about partisanship, which is a different issue entirely. Indeed as we sort ourselves into ideologically similar communities I might expect loneliness to decrease.
Spotify – now playing information and control
It always bothered that Spotify doesn't have an icon on menu bar; so I decided to create one. With "Spotify - now playing" you can, easily from the menu bar, see information about the current track, control the playback (previous track, pause/play, next track) and add the current track to your library or playlist. The code and app to download it's here https://github.com/davicorreiajr/spotify-now-playing.
In any case of bug, of suggestion, please open an issue in the github repo!

Hope you enjoy it!
Yes, that's where tramp comes in, although s3 might need a separate plugin.

For me the best part of dired is "do-what-i-mean" mode, dired-dwim. You basically get the output of `ls -la` and edit it as a text file. When you save, dired figures out changed names/permission bits/etc and does what you mean to those files.
It's an amazing building material and there have been a number of recent articles that have highlighted its use as scaffolding material that can be built up to several hundred feet high.

Escaping? There is a small town resurgence going on around here. I imagine it is being mostly driven by the excessive cost of housing in larger centres, but with that comes people with wider interests.
> All real estate is local.

> The flood of expat money (foreign investment)

these two statements are contradictory
Women are the majority of the population, and they are not underprivilegded. It is precisely because they have the privilege to choose from more jobs (including jobs with lower income, but higher life satisfaction, as they usually are not expected to support the family), that fewer of them end up in technology. 40% Of mothers never go back to work ever again. So you can not expect 50% of women in a field like technology - even if they would start out 50:50, eventually women would have babies and not return to work.
Comparison (as when doing e.g. an index scan) would still be affected, no?
>An incredible point made was that Israel has the lowest suicide rate of all the third world countries, and guess what he attributes it to? Mandatory draft. The common stressor that every single countryman can empathasize with each other about is war.

The second part would explain bigger empathy/cohesion (the have a common stressor), not less suicide.

I'd say it's rather that the draft can make you see often BS personal problems people tend blow out of all proportion for what they are (in other words, it "hardens" you). If you have to be accountable to a sergeant, wake up every morning at 6', do drills, have to learn to work and live with others whether they fit your echo bubble or not, etc, for a year or two, you get a taste of more stuff that awaits in the real/working word than you'd get starting from being overprotected and spoiled by your parents all your life.
It's more humid than straight up 'hot'. And when it rains, it pours like there's no tomorrow; rainy season, anyway.

I was staying in a medium-sized house in a fairly tucked away village; surrounded by jungle and rice fields. Over the 3 months that I stayed in this house, I saw iguanas the size of my arm, several snakes cruising in the backyard, and plenty of ants that like to eat bamboo and other wood-stuff.

That being said, most birds stay away from people and is uncommon for them to just chill in these open spaces. As for insects, it's not THAT big of an issue.

Sometimes there are these little bugs that fly into houses with lights on, right before it starts to rain -- these can be super annoying.

Everything else is manageable. Some 'businesses' like to use chemical sprays around the area to avoid having mosquitoes and such fly inside. But the use of chemicals isn't entirely environment-friendly and can make plants die off pretty quickly.

Locals don't use chemicals in their own homes and is simply a 'luxury' that Westerners have both imposed and expect from certain places.
It's interesting that Junger points to a mandatory draft as an example. Two counterpoints to that would be South Korea and Lithuania, which also have mandatory drafts and high rates of suicide per capita.
I've rewatched the movie recently. Humanity is definitly not saved. The whole quest is shown as being nothing a but a futile yet beautiful slice of life.

Do u still get "published in NIPS" credit or is the paper withdrawn ?
Because "cause" means common goal. While stressor means "something everybody has to worry about / pass through".
Apache Juneau 7.2.2 Released
I can think of at least 3 possible algorithms to use much much less memory even with a static snapshot of the complete subtree. And all of them are broken because the filesystem is supposed to stay online and change. It's realistically useful to scan an external disk to find the largest file etc., but not accurate on a live server, a desktop with several ongoing downloads, video multiplexing etc.

Hardship brings people together.
Which extremely ambitious assertion? You mean the one in the article that states: “Mr. Sasse argues that “loneliness is killing us,” citing, among other things, the skyrocketing rates of suicide and overdose deaths in America. This year, 45,000 Americans will take their lives[1], and more than 70,000 will die from drug overdoses.”

[1] when in fact it has been verified that in Europe suicide rates have increased since the onset of austerity – there have been many studies and reports, here is one such finding: https://www.globalresearch.ca/eu-austerity-killing-greece-re...

[2] and show that poverty and drug abuse (and hence deaths therefrom) are correlated: https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/addiction/news/20180326/...

I stand by my claim. It doesn't take a social scientist to recognise that poverty leads to increased ill-health, stress, suicide, drug abuse. Wealth does not protect you from these things but it certainly can cushion them. So do excuse me if I find the "it's loneliness" line-of-thinking a little hard to swallow. I think in the light of all that suffering `oblivious moron' is charitable.
I do actually feel pretty well settled with some sense of community where I live (Montreal), but one thing I've noticed while applying to jobs is how many jobs are super aggressive about relocating me to NYC or the bay area. They almost don't listen to me when I say I'm not leaving Montreal, like I need some sort of excuse to want to actually stay where I currently am.
>Couldn’t it be that younger people are always lonelier than older generations?

The article doesn't merely say that "younger people are lonelier than older generations", but that successive generations are lonelier than those previously...

I was surprised that he stopped using lengthwise cut pieces. They seemed better suited to compare how easily different methods allow the epoxy could enter the cellulose channels/matrix.
C'mon, you are really proving gp right here with that kind of superlative language. It's plain untrue. If the s/w was even very good for it's time, why would nobody have cared to just port it to a general purpose machine? After all LISP is all high level stuff, divorced from the hardware level. So, if the software was even just good, why did nobody care to carry it into the future?
My impression is that many people sneer at the things that are necessary for building relationships or consider them lazy/stupid/etc. Things like doing or not doing thing just because others like it. Things like going home to familly instead of staying late. Coordinating with friends to help each other - you are supposed to be individual. Or just socializing without networking or other practical gain.

You are supposed to work 70 hours a week and change job every two years and be aggressive in pursuing own goals. It makes for a good economy, but also for loneliness as there is no space for trust and relationships building.
> I made the category for women after receiving a suggestion from a partner

You are still the one that made the decision to implement a one-sided feature, though, so you considered it worth it.

> so I don't think you are so right to call me out on the supposed wrongdoing.

The "supposed wrongodoing" is highlighting only women in the home page, which you do. It was not about not having other filters.

> Religion & political ideology were 2 filters I wanted to implement prior to launch but I did not fearing controversy

I wonder why you thought that providing only the categories that appeal only to a minority of people [1] was going to not be controversial.

> the website's core concept is to find diverse users, as in minorities & underprivileged group

That is not stated anywhere. The home page says clearly: "Search for Twitter users who share your interests and come from different backgrounds".

> men don't happen to be one of those groups

That is exactly the ideological bias I was calling out.

Men make the majority of

* homeless people
* suicides
* people in prison (and get longer sentences for the same crimes)
* work related deaths (and the majority of the workforce in dangerous job)
* victims of violence and homicides
* deaths in war

Women are overrepresented in college degrees, and are the majority in fields like medicine, education, psychology, and the humanities.

The "pay gap" is a myth, since the difference in average earning is driven mainly by life choices and not by discrimination. The same is true for the lower percentage of women in tech.

The idea that men are a "privileged" category is just ideology, like anything that prescribes a common characteristic to a broad group. And the idea that "POC" think differently that "white people" is, frankly, racist.

I'm curious to see if there are any statistics on loneliness and race. I often see the black people in my city sitting on porches and benches in the evening and chatting with each other; it seems like a very nice community and something I wish I could have been a part of growing up. Same thing with the Latino community: in my mom's country, people still practice an open door policy among friends, still gather around the TV and scream at the sports players for hours. There is no white community so to speak: people today would probably say that's racist. But I think a lot of white people remember the "it takes a village" days, the days before we decided to demonize anyone that let their kids out of their sight, when television was just becoming affordable.
I found the coil burners to work pretty well for mosquitos, although I have concerns about how healthy they are. I guess if I lived somewhere like this I'd just get used to it - although mosquitos in Europe seem to be getting stronger every year, so I guess that won't take long.
A lot of times, that's all you need. For quick and dirty internal tools, its a godsend. I'd be happy to use it more, and cut out the whole Gordian Knot of overburdened front-end development.
The price of houses is driven by market rents compounded with access to financing. If lenders are willing to finance an investment with 3% yield, then house prices will jump to 33x their annual rent value - it goes without saying that's only possible in low interest markets.

The rent itself however is controlled by supply and demand - there needs to be a real person there earning a paycheck and he must have no other options before going for a high rent house. Therefore, the options for keeping rents down are either keeping people out of the city through administrative means, or, realistically, building higher and denser. Good public transport infrastructure is an essential component because it opens for development distant areas that otherwise would not be desirable to people working in the city.

On the other hand, as the city grows, economies of scale bring in more businesses, create more high paying jobs and opportunities, therefore attracting more people - up to the point where rents and commute times increase again and restore equilibrium. A Malthusian catastrophe of sorts, that requires radical new transport solutions and workplace transformations, as opposed to building regulation and financial innovation.
If you click through to the underlying report, it shows loneliness rates by generation groupings as of right now. So what is a Gen Zer experiencing with loneliness now. What is a baby boomer experiencing.

It doesn’t show what age groups reported 10 or 20 years ago with with same survey.

So the data shows at this instant younger people are lonelier. But that may have always been true.
