Thanks fam. This is even lighter than what I was using previously.
I flagged it AND I'm contributing to the conversation.
Yes. Don't forget that the male IQ bell curve is wider than the female one. The most intelligent people in the world are men. The stupidest people in the world are men too.
This has also been my experience.
For most of posts/comments I report(which I think shouldn't be on Facebook), I get the default reply "not against communist standards".
This already happens, and the mortgage is subsidized by the federal government via the National Flood Insurance Program. You wouldn’t be able to get a mortgage without flood insurance, and since private insurance companies won’t offer it at a sufficiently low price, the federal government subsidizes the insurance, therefore allowing the mortgage to be made.

The major advantage of static types is replacing tests with proofs. Tests always have (limited) coverage, but type proofs are invariant. That said, it's very possible to misunderstand what a test or a type actually means.
Men and women are wired to go about relationships differently. One problem is that people don't come with clear instruction manuals to help us understand how the relationship game works.

> I'm really tired of the incel narrative

Men generally play a numbers game, where their romantic overtures get rejected most of the time. It doesn't help that a lot of the time their romantic overtures are annoying [1]. Supposed "incels" just have no idea what it is that makes them so obnoxious [2].

Women have to screen candidates until they find someone they think is interesting.

> Seeing us represented this way really stresses me out.

Maybe the comment section on these types of articles 'stress you out' because you see a bunch of men debating their "flat earth" theories of how women go about relationships, you can tell that their theories are clearly wrong, but there's no point in even trying to expand their 'flat earth relationship' theories?

Sociologists have determined that men peak sexually around 18 years old [3]. Women peak at a much later age (30's and 40's). Hopefully better understanding will help the stress you experience dissipate.

> I'm just here to learn about tech stuff, geez.

Interpersonal relationships can be hacked too. Women especially need constructive strategies to better deal with unwanted overtures from the other gender.

I try to provide constructive comments on the topic. This comment was about how my passengers helped me figure out "attraction": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17810906 (this one got lots of upvotes and downvotes).

Yes it means the ones they didn't like were also chosen by God, and it means they have mistake in their belief of what God wants.

It's no different from somebody wanting their loved one to live, and God disagreeing and the person passes away.

So next time you hear that reinterpret it as "wow I must be doing something right if God wants the same thing I want".

That feature is likely working 100%, as in, the redirects are probably an intentional feature meant to expose users to the redesign in hopes that they stay.

Still does not stop someone from trying since they now know what to look for. Also genetic synthesis has gotten cheaper and so has sequencing.

That's a neat trick! I went searching for articles about it and came up empty, though I did find other interesting uses of the "never" type.
I've been coding intensively for more than half of my life from a young age - I'm approaching 16 years of experience now. Also, I've been doing it quite intensively (I was writing games when I was still in school before studying software engineering at university, then I worked for 14 different companies; some startups and some corporations in about 10 different industries. I've completed projects in at least 7 different programming languages). Also I've always been working on a side project during nights and weekends; mostly open source.

I have mixed feelings about the ceramics anecdote because I've met some people who have been coding a long time and producing large quanities of code but it's not good quality. To write high quality code, you need to enjoy the process and be adaptable. You need to have been exposed to a lot of different kinds of projects and management cultures.

Also, the most frustrating thing is that other people who are not good coders don't recognize straight away who is a good coder. Often, it takes a whole year to prove yourself. However, good coders usually know straight away who a good coder is.

Because of this effect, our industry is currently in a bad state. Many of the big popular tech stacks are mediocre compared to some of the alternatives that are available. There is a lot of misinformation and misplaced hype.

Most people who have the power to make hiring decisions are not sufficiently good at coding to be making those decisions. So good coders tend to find themselves smothered in most work environments...

Well there is your problem. Why is Facebook held to a different standard than other media? ("Because they want to earn more money" is not a good answer)
When, not if, they take away the old site, I'm done with reddit for good. I have plenty of alternatives at this point and I imagine that I'm not the only one who's jumping ship at that point.
This[0] and this[1] are previous discussions on HN about climate change, with plenty of trolls. Just because something gets trolls, doesn't mean the whole thing should be destroyed or censored. Look at all of the other great discussion in those threads (and this one). If you get rid of every thread that is a potential double-edged sword, then you will eventually find yourself browsing an empty forum. There is no such thing as a perfect safe-space for discussion, and places that claim to be are typically void of interesting discourse.

> I decided it would most likely generate the sort of discussion that does not belong on the site.

The current thread as well as the two linked threads have plenty of positive discussion. Again, every topic is a double-edged sword. You're going to get people who agree and disagree, people who are serious and others who are trolls. That doesn't mean threads should be completely destroyed. The best course of action here is to flag the offending comments, rather than the entire thread.

This answers a couple of significant questions: why reenable autotrim? They needed the help to nose up, they couldn't hand trim.

Why only use tiny nose up correction? The high airspeed would make the plane very sensitive to small changes in trim. They knew to make no erratic changes. This worked. It was working. They had no idea MCAS followup would be so violently aggressive that it would send them to the ceiling, and pitch the airplane beyond recovery in a matter of seconds.

Flat out MCAS, accepting a ridiculous ~75° angle of attack as valid, and corrected with a ridiculous amount of nose down without any respect to the aircraft already exceeding Vmo, is what killed them and everyone on board.

The pilots are heros. They did what the emergency AD says. When that failed, they improvised based on experience and training, and fought for everyone lives.
That's a conflation of several different things and redefining marketing from the actual definition to be what you want doesn't make a good argument. Lying in ads is illegal and "manipulation" is just another word for influence, the same as when you recommend something to your friend. Whether you trust a brand or not is no different than whether you trust a friend which is why we have branding and customer loyalty in the first place.

Advertising is communication and has no inherent usefulness; the value is in the outcome. The user isn't suffering, they're choosing a way to convert attention to currency as a way of paying for the content they want. It's a choice they willing make and having the option to transact that way is a net positive for both sides.
I am not shrugging. I am saying, with conviction: They are just providing the platform.
Yup- Typescript is mostly used in large-scale enterprise software development where rigorous unit tests are not in place.

I still suspect that a large part of Typescript adoption comes from developers who are used to working in an IDE (Visual Studio, Eclipse, etc), and are uncomfortable with javascript's natural "textfile->compiler->test" workflow.

Its also worth noting that support for typescript (that isn't Microsoft marketing) tends to come from outwith established tech environments. Using Typescript outwith MS environments can be challenging.

A well designed dynamic language like clojure can have explosive velocity. Stuff just fits together smoothly: a predicate can be a function or a set or a map or a regex, but most importantly, libraries are built of these mutually compatible blocks. Reminds me of (Sussman's?) description of lisp codebases as organic.. of course, "explosive" can be very literal when type mistakes propagate and the data model goes to bizarroworld. In clojure, you can defend yourself with spec, which catches these things at the site of the mistake. It's a tradeoff I often like (velocity vs. compile time checks). It all depends on the domain.
I've tried this a few times over the past year, but I've always been put off by the lack of a `SPC-f-f` equivalent (helm-find-files). I filed a thoughtful issue [0] about this a while back, but one of devs pretty much closed it immediately.

Well as I understand it there are two primary evolutionary modes of sexual pairing/selection, which humans follow.

The first model is where a supremely desirable male has many female partners, who get a little of his attention; and the second model, monogamy, where two partners pair up exclusively with the bulk of attention dedicated to each other [1]. Both are apt given different circumstances.

Without trying to put any morality on to it, dating apps/hookup culture seem more predisposed to tapping in to the first selection model.

> you can use too little, so no reason to err in that direction in mass manufacturing

Exactly. The thermal conductivity of air is 0.026 (W/m/K), your average thermal paste (non-metal) is at 2. For manufacturers it's way better to guarantee uniformly meh conductivity by using too much thermal paste than risking air bubbles by using too little. Most manufacturers will lean this way when they don't just use those POS thermal stickers.

Same with average versus silver: silver provides a gain but a limited one, and it's conductive so you have to make very sure not to leak any onto circuits or you risk a short. That's why manufacturers don't bother.
If it's easy to remove, then you can think about the thing you can remove in isolation.

I think that the ability to partition code in such a way as to think about each bit in isolation is the mark of high quality code.
No. He is basically saying that as long as we have these much larger problems, we should all of our time trying to fix those, instead of wasting time and money on a problem that is 1 thousand times less serious of a problem.

If social media starts killing 10s of thousands of people every year, then we should start talking about FAA, or FDA style regulations. But as long as that number is measured in dozens of people, we shouldn't be wasting billions worrying about it.

Lets take that moral outrage of yours and spend it on something a bit more productive, shall we?
You could say that for offenders and people who are arrested for crimes/drugs fall into prison system — we have systems in place to reintegrate them back into society —- but the phenomenon of how humans can buy groceries for 2 months, stay inside and entertain themselves , you can’t ‘discipline’ that and schedule those people for parole or counseling —- we’re gonna have a big problem in 10-20 years when more and more people stay inside and have less meaningful relationships
The article seems to talk about all kinds of things VPNs are not about, and criticises them for those, and give a thin touch, if any, to the actual reasons VPNs are useful and why they were designed in the first place. Weird.
This annoys me so much, particularly when I'm running, that I don't even bother to move out of the way and play chicken with whoever's in my way.
I’m using “vote” here in a slightly odd way—as an analogy: Spending money. When you buy bread, you are casting a vote that bread (and implicitly: bread-making equipment) is important in the economy.
That claim doesn't mean that ISPs do not collect data. It means that your VPN providers must be blindly trusted, like ISPs. IIRC when the UK introduced a law asking all ISPs to keep all user activities in logs, at least some of them complained that the costs were too high to put it in practice. Make of that what you want. Trust or not trust?
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but I think you've really hit the nail on the head.
Fair enough, but at the same time dark matter has been around a while and we're no closer to understanding it other than a few ideas about what it isn't. I do think it's a candidate for a very interesting paradigm shift, which there has been before in physics and maybe that's more what I'm getting at. I'll be real I've had a long weekend.
What a horrible idea unless you're an extraverted person who'd be likely to join the events anyway.
This is just a form of the child pornography scare that resonates with contemporary politics.

It simply matches the measurements.

Modern science has available modern technology to measure so much and with such a precision that any theory that attempts to be scientifically accepted has to match with the existing measurements.

The only approach that is not "dark mater" which is not completely disqualifying itself on all scales (by not matching anything) is MOND, which is still more "let's try to find some formulas that can match at least some observations" than something that even now can be consistent with all observations and measurements. Still, where MOND doesn't match the observations, it fails not in the orders of the magnitudes, it even results in the wrong shape of the curve:

https://arxiv.org/abs/1112.1320

"The biggest challenge facing MOND today is the shape of the matter power spectrum. The shape depicted in Fig. 1 is related to the acoustic oscillations observed in the CMB. If the Universe is dominated by dark matter, these matter oscillations, dubbed Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO), are highly suppressed as the baryons fall into the potential wells created by dark matter, leaving only percent level traces of the primordial oscillations. In a no-dark matter model, on the other hand, the oscillations should be just as apparent in matter as they are in the radiation. Indeed, Fig. 1 illustrates that – even if a generalization such as TeVeS fixes the amplitude problem – the shape of the predicted spectrum is in violent disagreement with the observed shape."

Or to summarize:

https://medium.com/starts-with-a-bang/theres-a-debate-raging...

"On the scales of groups of galaxies, individual galaxy clusters, colliding galaxy clusters, the cosmic web, and the leftover radiation from the Big Bang, MOND’s predictions fail to match reality, whereas dark matter succeeds spectacularly. It’s possible, and perhaps even likely, that someday we will understand enough about dark matter to understand why and how the MOND phenomenon on the scales of individual galaxies arises. But when you look at the full suite of evidence, dark matter is practically a scientific certainty. It’s only if you ignore all of modern cosmology that the modified gravity alternative looks viable. Selectively ignoring the robust evidence that contradicts you may win you a debate in the eyes of the general public. But in the scientific realm, the evidence has already decided the matter, and 5/6ths of it is dark."

The stress has absolutely NOTHING to do with that. BUT, since you brought it up, OkCupid had a pretty detailed analysis that showed much the opposite when it comes to the age that people are interested. Linking because you might be interested, not because it's relevant.

> Not the OP, but one important bit for the kid is to have stable set of rules. If there're multiple individuals with different parenting styles, kid gets confused and don't know who to look up to and what rules to follow.

Don't they always adapt to different rule sets anyway? There is one set at home, one at school, one when they go visit the grand parents and one for whoever is babysitting. There is a lot of overlap but a lot of exceptions/infractions depending on the context. Plus kids are more or less constantly probing for edge cases and try to push the boundaries naturally.
Well you could use the Python approach of "we are all adults" and allow people to do the wrong thing if they are explicitly asking to do it.

I do believe it's better to be strict but allow a loophole just in case future use requires it.

For example in my codebase, only valid objects can be created via User.create but we do create invalid ones for testing since it's not necessary to have full objects there.
The r^2 rule should hold because there is a concept called "flux". Imagine a field of force emanating from the center of a sphere.
Now twiddle the radius of the field. Presume the intensity of the field will be distributed evenly, but diluted by the net surface area of the sphere, that surface area will in proportion to the square of the radius.

That said there are some fascinating alternative theories of gravity such as mond or the unruh effect which don't invoke an inverse swuare rule.
I think it runs deeper than that. I think the mythology of the "Electronic Brain" goes back to the 60's and all the Space Age idealism about technology.

Use a land value tax, and update it frequently. If rents are going up in an area, then the land value is increasing and taxes should go up accordingly.

This also removes the disincentives around making property improvements. It makes little sense for cities to penalize people for renovating and improving property.

It also adds healthy competition among landlords/owners and encourages higher density in places where land value & demand is high.
