Tinder is mentioned a lot; I'm not sure what else you have in mind. Not every problem is solved by throwing technology and/or money at it.

Thank you but no, whoever made this diet doesn't know much about healthy food.
Hah, no. I think Dr. Peterson certainly makes some interesting points regarding these topics, but his solution seems to be a return to a pre-21st century model of societal values. I don't believe that this is tenable - the cat is already out of the bag and the Pandora's box of technology can't be closed.
Good point. But married men have more sex and unmarried have less of it. And sex now days does not lead to marriage unless you want marriage.

So I would expect divorce issues not to influence causual sex rates, but rather marriage rates.
I mean if we're only looking at made up numbers anyway isn't the 3rd scenario preferable? Almost the same number of people died, but there was no 20 year long period where people were paying extortionate rates for a medicine, and it took 30 years before the diseases was effectively cured, as opposed to the 20 years it took before a government funded cure came along.

You might even argue that the money saved by not having a patent could be used to save even more lives.
It's interesting to speculate on the "It costs $1 to press the button and $10K for knowing which button to press" kinds of problems. I mean, if you spend several hundred thousand on a medical degree, it is ethical to ignore someone dying if they can't pay you? Personally, I think it is -- nobody should be forced to do something just because they know how. However, I can totally understand the other point of view. Do the clinics who refuse patients who can't pay watch those people suffer and die? Of course not. It would be horrible if they had to. Would you ever choose to expose yourself to the information that could save people lives if in exchange you would have to choose between watching people suffer or go into bankruptcy as you fail to repay your loans that gave you the information in the first place.

It sucks. I'm with some others who say that we should try to improve our society so that nobody would have to make such a choice.
Beer certainly exacerbated my symptoms. Alcohol has become a much-less-often thing for me (mostly because you can't really have 'a quick pint'). I've benefitted most mentally here though, I think? You don't realise how often you have that post drinking booze-blues (even in the most minor way) until you don't have it very often.

Coincidentally, cleaner alcohol (vodka) seems to minimise the mental and physical hangovers far more than drinking beer.
The risk teenage pregnancy would make more guys to have sex? That is odd.
In my 20 years of programming i've never heard of a well architectured codebase that is cleanly written, problem free, future proof and a joy to maintain.

For some it’s not easily achieved, so I’d suppose it’s less about dudes thinking “meh, this is more convenient” than dudes thinking “meh, I’m not getting laid anyways”
Extend your logic a bit. How long until you argue to apply it to hardware inside a human?
One thing that I'd like to know is if the profit margin is the same for one of these one time treatments as a repeat treatment.

If we assume that these things must be produced within a market system, it seems like the real moral question isn't what the dollar amount is, (since it logically follows that the cost to produce it must increase with the total revenue it's going to produce) but it would seem troublesome to say that we only produce treatments that have %20 profit because our shareholders expect blah blah, etc. etc.

If they already have the treatment and don't want to sell it because they can't price it profitably enough that seems pretty wrong to me. Not sure what the solution is though. I see how all the incentives could be aligned this way. And the article seems to hint that this is already the case.
If you want to lower your LDL I'll advice you to eat nothing but white bread with slices of highly processed meat for a week. Will lower your HDL and increase Trigs too, but if LDL is your primary concern: Go for it.

Here is the thing: it's not as easy as LDL = BAD. For older people higher LDL is actually protective, for women there seems to be nearly no effect whatsoever. Don't be fooled by simple answers.
(I work at Prisma)

It is very important to understand that Prisma is NOT a GraphQL-as-a-Service like Hasura or Postgraphile. It's really a suite of database tools that you can use for any use case (building GraphQL, REST or gRPC APIs, or use it in any other app where you need a database). We recently wrote a blog post about this topic: https://www.prisma.io/blog/prisma-and-graphql-mfl5y2r7t49c/

Also, the Prisma server (that proxies the database) is indeed currently a mandatory component in the Prisma architecture. However, this requirement will be lifted very soon (as we're currently rewriting the Prisma core in Rust) and it will be possible to run Prisma as a library, just like any other ORM.

Why not just say "dump Windows"? It's a good OS, if you want someone to hand-hold you, but as somoene once elegantly put it: "Trying to hack in Windows is like trying to dance in bodycast."

>Reverse Engineering.

They list scripting but, as saagarjha notes, knowing how to program is a pivotal quality. Otherwise, when you reverse engineer something, how do you know what the feck you're looking at?

For example (I'm aware of the irony of this example), it does me no good to reverse engineer something in ILDASM[0], if I haven't the faintest idea of what it is I'm looking at.

No we're talking about every website having to make this work because the default is to not require loading the resources or else be blamed for not being compliant with a spec forced on them by Google through their browser monopoly.

Google should need some really good evidence to support this.

What points do you disagree with, and why? Where are the metrics? If it's better performing than just priorities and flow control then by how much, and how do you justify breaking sites to achieve that margin?
I love how this lets me subscribe to your blog by just following it from my Mastodon account.
I work at Prisma and it's really awesome to hear such feedback! Please let us know if you have any further questions, we're happy to help :)
Nah, I've had that checked multiple times.
Reminds me a bit of how when I was a teen, Amiga demoscene and game music sounded like nothing else and contributed to my sense that the "computer world" was something apart. Then years later I found out about Italo Disco and Tangerine Dream.

It quickly becomes very much a moral question if any of the women become pregnant.

I do realise though that you're posting in the context of a society in which the necessary causal chain between sex and pregnancy has been broken, but the moral systems we have built around sex and relationships are predicated on that link for perfectly rational and valid reasons. Also ultimately we still need people to have children and bring those children up. The moral factor in sexual behaviour can't simply be discounted.
There was some decent writing on there, early on, but those writers all jumped ship pretty quickly.
Maybe it won't? I think it's unrealistic to assume that computer technology will continue to see the kind of exponential growth it has seen in the last 50 or so years. Of course, I don't have hard evidence to back up my claim but I feel like most processes exhibit diminishing returns after a while.
My kids and my wife absolutely matter after I'm dead. I'm not so self-centered as to believe that they exist solely to give me pleasure.
(Pros:) Have a huge audience, great for exposure.

> It's not like you suddenly will interact with people

Well, that depends where you go when you leave the house, but there are indeed still places where people interact with strangers in person and form relationships,both friendly and romantic, without online interaction starting it.
This mirrors my experience. I spend the first two years of my career working somewhere where pretty much everything went through.

There were some projects in the company lead by developers that were some of the best I ever worked with. They upheld very high standards and the code was some of the best I've seen. Most projects were a total mess and nobody asked questions or reviewed code.

I worked on both type of projects. I think it really helped me. Some projects I just wrote code hours and hours on end without little regard to quality, but later on other projects within the company I was exposed to people and code that was significantly better.
Do they not pursue relationships, or do they simply re-prioritize? I think it's healthy for people to develop their independence, and I think you need to be independent as a person before you can be interdependent as a couple - as opposed to need a mate to function as a person.
Reading through the comments, there's a shared narrative that emerges:

Tinder, etc. leads to a skewed distribution of access to sexual partners based on attractiveness, which leads to unattractive men not having as many partners, which leads to pick-your-favorite-bad-consequence.

And there are a lot of men in this thread feeling worried and depressed about this. While it's certainly true that you get more matches on Tinder if you're attractive, this overall narrative is vastly oversimplified, and the conclusions drawn from it are inaccurate. It's the result of men projecting male attitudes onto women's behavior. I understand that it's easy to feel resentful. I don't fault anyone inherently for this-- these are complex issues, there are exceptions to every generalization, and it's difficult to judge because it's hard to experience the dating "market" through different eyes.

But before you buy into that narrative, take a moment to think about what it's like for women. I'll indulge in some generalizations (yes there are exceptions) because brevity is of the essence. Compared to men:

- Women care less about physical attractiveness
- Women are less interested in hookups and enjoy them less
- Women are more interested in romantic and emotional connections and long-term relationships

Do you really think the majority of women are happy with the recent societal changes in dating? It's not hard to find thinkpieces written by women lamenting these issues. I haven't met a single woman who was happy with it. And I've heard many bad date stories from my female friends and my own dates. One article described it as "searching for a diamond in a sea of dick pics". And you have to worry about physical violence or men who treat you like an object and try to run some PUA algorithm on you. Maybe you believe that some women are doing things you don't condone. But can you honestly blame them? No one's perfect, dating is a shitty and exhausting experience for everyone.

As a man it's easy to fixate on physical attractiveness because we notice and care about it more. But I assure you, once you meet your date in person your looks stop mattering (as long as you didn't lie) and at that point it's up to your personality. There are a lot of women who'd be excited to date a decent and kind man who's willing to explore some level of emotional commitment without trying to "keep it casual". Explaining these changes purely on the basis of an attractiveness/status market is a cop-out for men who are too insecure to confront whether they're actually enjoyable people to be around.

I see a lot of proto-incel thoughts in this thread. That shit is a downward spiral, you need to pull yourself together and get out of it before you internalize how physically "unattractive" you supposedly are. Once the incel ideology destroys your self-confidence and skews your outlook on the world you will actually become an unattractive person even if you look fine physically.

The use case that excites me is transfer between servers/no X11. Just a single binary, no deps to worry about.

They could also be air gapped, both behind NATs and other non-standard topologies. ICE will take care of all the hard problems :)
It's much harder to keep a conversation in a dating app when you know you're 1 of 50 men sending that girl messages, and knowing that many of those other 49 men are more attractive than you are, so you're practically losing your time.

> Where do you draw the line.

I fundamentally support free speech and acknowledge that protecting free speech includes protecting so-called 'hate speech'. I haven't read the Christchurch shooter's manifesto but as a manifesto I would definitely include it under free speech.

However I wouldn't include live footage of violent criminal acts as free speech. Free speech is expression in words and ideas not acts. So yes, I would draw the line here and I think it is a well-defined line. (As a sidenote, a re-enactment of the crime using actors and where no-one actually dies would be free speech).

I wouldn't necessarily single out Facebook as the privacy commissioner has done but I would agree that everyone who knowingly transmits and shares this video is doing a bad thing. Again, it's not free speech it's the sharing of a mass snuff film. Which is sick.
Yes, but the other side of the coin is having a codebase that is so old and such a mess that it can't be changed or upgraded without a tremendous cost.

I have worked for a company that eventually went down because there was absolutely no separation between business logic and user interface. When no one any longer wanted to pay for a system with an ASCII-interface (this was about 1995), they had to throw out about 5 million lines of code and never recovered.

I've worked with systems that had to be thrown out because no one any longer wanted to pay for a week of work for something should be possible in two hours.

Either extreme is stupid. Of course you have to ship. And in early stages it often makes sense to accrue debt to get fast to the market. But of course you also have to be able to be nimble and move fast even after two years and five. You can't do that if all your resources are tied up in interest payments.
> [They] allow the live streaming of suicides, rapes, and murders, continue to host and publish the mosque attack video, allow advertisers to target ‘Jew haters’ and other hateful market segments

Sounds a bit like 'murder, arson and jaywalking'. Being 'hateful' is not the same as killing people on a stream.
No fruit + plenty of meat => gout. But if you are in for the status, gout = "the king of diseases and the disease of kings" ;-)
"inspiration comes from working on something, not from thinking about it"

Not sure about that - the applications I'm most proud of actually came from extended periods where I was involved in maintaining an existing system, carefully thinking about how it could be improved, so when a chance came I could propose a new application with a well defined list of benefits. Note that by "extended period" I mean a couple of years!
If the science is a private website and a book by the same person, it's not really "science".

And by mixing and matching different research papers, any diet peddler/author/etc can make it appear as their specific diet is "backed by science" (when it's just a bunch of disparate papers in its favor, without context -- e.g. later responses to those papers, quality and reproducibility, papers that study the exact opposite claims and also work, etc).

The only real science is not in studies (that are a dime a dozen, of widely different quality, and most are shoddily done and discredited by later studies), but in what's accepted by the nutritionist/medical professionals as nutrition 101.
I work at Prisma, we've recently written a blog post about exactly this question where we also compare Prisma to other services like Hasura or AWS AppSync: https://www.prisma.io/blog/prisma-and-graphql-mfl5y2r7t49c/
It's very easy: most coders are undisciplined hackers, not engineers. Unfortunately the prevalent macho coder culture (agile, and the rest of that crap along the lines of "move fast break things") positively encourages hacking away without much planning, design, or forethought.

Real engineers spend most of their time learning, thinking, designing, and planning. Coding for them is mostly exercise for fingers, something which needs to be done but ultimately providing no challenge. They learned not only from textbooks but also from their own mistakes, and know what to watch for and where to double-check themselves.

The outcomes are strikingly different: code produced by real engineers usually simply works. No need to babysit it in production. It also solves the real problem rather than "improving" on something which was adequate in the first place (face it: most new software replacing the older one is worse - more bloat, more bugs, harder to use). The real engineer understands that complexity is THE enemy, and breeding (or dragging in) unnecessary complexity is a hallmark of a freaking amateur.

Oh, and academia doesn't teach engineering. Your C.S. degree means shit. Old codgers who remember punching cards and incantations like //GO.SYSIN DD * may be tired of learning the shiny new toys and aren't up to the speed on the latest jargon, but over the years of wrangling code they acquired wisdom, and you'd be very well advised to listen to them.
You won't find any centenarians that eat vegan. India is one of the countries with the highest diabetes numbers and vegan. Japan, on the other hand, has the most centenarian and they eat basically unprocessed food and low carb.
I've heard of plenty (mostly in the future tense) - reality often seems somewhat different.
The fact that doctors overwhelmingly choose non-intervention and palliative care for themselves at their end strongly implies that they're not merely traumatized as doctors, but also that they feel it's terrible for the patient.

I pretty much don't. Although I like to taste a glass of different types of beer when I go to a new region (here in Europe). I have noticed that it does trigger the IBS symptoms roughly 40% of the time. Thanks for the comment. I think I'll give up on the tasting because like the parent mentioned IBS is miserable.
What I really admire is people who manage to do all of it: start projects, finish them, and produce beautiful code that is simple to reason about.

Whenever I feel bad, sad or just in need on some enlightenment, I go to https://github.com/fogleman and browse Michael's repos.
Im actually glad that the author pointed out that once you log in somewhere that will track you, that connection is associated with you.

A vpn is not a cure-all. It is only as private as you're willing to make it. If you want to pirate movies and chat on facebook at the same time, you're probably gonna have a bad time. What you do is absolutely a part of your advertising/tracking profile.

Payment information - some prefer to use cryptocurrency, which in their minds, is private. Again, once metadata connects you, there's no denying that that's you.

A third party consultant takes your payment? Maybe. Especially if you've got some anonymizing layer to your credit card info that has earned a similar trust. This will of course add to the cost of the transaction.

Even the way you type can connect you. Sufficient amounts of text - such as this reply - are usually enough.
I agree with most of this, but it is more a matter of talking about programming or being an architecture astronaut.

You can still write beautiful code and be productive. OpenBSD contains some examples.

Of course, as you say one should not talk about writing beautiful code. Just do it.
You should read a lot more. The predecessor of systemd was not what you think, and there was not just one. The software is not even "init".

That would be relevant if people ate those crops at the same quantities (and at the same processing) as they do gluten containing crops...

Potentially the sender could output a URL that contains the SDP. That way the receiver can either be a CLI or a web browser.

Adding to that: written code has no value, only running code has.
The quality of what running code is, or needs to be, depends on the stage of your product and who will be responsible for keeping the code running (either the developer himself or an ops team for instance).

It goes both ways: people may feel they have to say that in public, but impostor syndrome is also a thing.
The main problem with repetion of code is that someone always forgets to change in at least one place when the requirements change.

It's more about having only one place where the logic is defined than anything else.
Go on Youtube and watch 'The Computer Chronicles', especially the very old episodes. You can see that many people thought the same thing 30-40-odd year ago. Many experts and CEO's and visionaries on the show say things like 'that will never be feasible' for this and that reason. Smart people on the forefront of computer tech at that time.

I do feel the same way as you do though, but I am from the 70s and I am very careful in saying things like that (like you are by the way).

Actually it makes sense when I think about it - one of biggest frustrations of young male life is not able to have a (sexual) partner. Hollywood makes fun of this in teen movies, but reality is much darker. If society is geared into perpetual state like this, the poor/unattractive folks become properly desperate and act accordingly.

Just look what long celibate does to priests. Soldiers in war have to be 'neutralized' via some mild suppressants in the rations (at least WW II was done like this from what I had read).
It would definitively have better outcomes but I don't think it would be politically acceptable. 7% means doubling rent every 10 years. Building more housing within those 10 years to prevent excessive increases in rent is certainly possible but will it actually happen? The type of government that uses rent control doesn't actually want to take it's medicine (more housing). They just want a quick win even if it causes problems over the long term.
