Funny thing you mentioned it. While I personally think nobody should read his works, Houellebecq is the writer to peruse after contracting a terminal case of spiritual malaise. One thing I want to add is that Houellebecq's body of work is an assortment of potential solutions to this modern day problem which has become more pronounced in the US lately.

The Extension of the Domain of the Struggle (Whatever) is his first novel. The motif is that similar to economic inequality, due to sexual liberation, the sociosexual arena has become more winner-take-all, hence the extension in the title. The plot chronicles the disillusionment of a sexless programmer in denial after going on a road trip with a similarly dysfunctional co-worker who ended up commiting suicide. The story ends the protagonist going postal but offers no practical solution.

His next book The Elementary Particles follows two half-brothers who were dysfunctional in opposite ways. One was a complete sex addict who failed to individuate and the other became a monk like molecular biologist responsible for making sexual reproduction obsolete.

His next novel Platform is an in-depth analysis of the discontentment of sex tourism from the perspective of his alter ego, which is clearly formed by his own lived experience in Indonesia. I think it's his least coherent work FWIW.

The Possibility of an Island arguably follows the timeline of Atomised and describes the nature of love through the narrative of three clones of the same person from the hedonistic present, totalitarian future and hunter-gatherer post-apocalytic future.

Any paradigm can be formalized to the point of perversion. I think that's what the OP meant when they said that the hallmark of that group is how they obsess about standards and processes. The existence of cowboy-style code such as the project you're currently dealing with does not necessarily mean that the "process-over-results" people are in the right. There are many factors to consider, including the structure of the organization you're writing the code for. I don't think it's naive advice to suggest that people spend less time listening to vain role models, instead of actively working on their own skills in order to make better judgements in the future, which brings us back to the point put forward in the article: the way to mastery is through practice.

> There is nothing even close to an economy around sex.

Absolutely wrong. Dating is one of the most efficient markets. Every individual decides who they will sleep with, date and marry based on a hierarchy of what they can get, what they think they're worth and how attractive they find the other person. There is far more agreement than disagreement in standards of attractiveness from person to person, if not, it would be fairly easy to go out and date just anyone. But no one wants to do that. Everyone tries to date the most attractive person they can get.

> Studies show that women have the same hard coded visceral, visual sexual physiological response as men

I don't know what studies you're looking at but you're misinformed. Women don't have the same physiological response to visual stimuli as men do.

I don't know what you mean by "doing the same things" but even if we assume that women are doing those things it doesn't follow from that they are the same as men at a sexual level.
The age isn't the only explanation for the low data rate- it's not simply low tech.

GPS relies on receiving extremely weak signals, often with a very limited receive antenna. This means there's a real trade off- you can send a limited amount of data over a given communication channel. Increasing the data rate might require increasing the transmit power / antenna gain of the GPS satellites, or requiring bigger / better receive antennas on GPS receivers.

Here are the parameters involved: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon%E2%80%93Hartley_theore...

>It also seems to me that if a sizeable chunk of young men end up feeling undesirable, unwanted, and frustrated, the consequences won't be pretty, we all lose.

Those young men need to stop basing their self image on their own ego and sense of sexual entitlement.

What we're seeing here, in my humble and uneducated opinion, is the end of a period in societal history where women served the role of sexual currency in a market of male status. The social and religious pressures on women to validate men through sex and marriage are no longer relevant, and women are now seeking sexual fulfillment and relationships on their own terms, rather than those dictated to them by patriarchal society.

However, many men are still wedded, as it were, to the old model whereby their social status is accounted for by the number of women they have had sex with, and whether or not they are in a sexual relationship at the moment. They feel cheated because society has told them they are entitled to sex, and that there is something wrong with them if they don't get as much of it as they want.

What bothers me about this conversation is that disastrous, society-shattering consequences are always mentioned if women keep choosing not to have sex with more men, but no one seems willing to suggest that men need to change the way they view sex, relationships and themselves.

In the UK solar and onshore wind are about 5p/kWh, offshore wind about 7p/kWh, nuclear about 7-10p/kWh, depending on generation of reactor and scale of order, so more expensive per kWh. But you’re right that clearly once you include the cost of grid integration, taking wind or solar above 30-50% will incur significantly higher costs. I think in the UK it’s about 20p/kWh now for solar or wind with four hours of battery firming for example. But the difference is those costs are continually falling each year, whereas nuclear has stayed the same or risen. I would still renew nuclear personally, to provide maybe 15-25% of the grid, but it’s not enormously obvious. I think by the time the nuclear stations are built renewables will probably be cheaper, I just favour it as a hedge. Although in the UK we’ve had some nuclear development companies pull out and ask for more money even after agreeing to build at 10p/kWh, so that may not work out in reality.

> Isn’t this observation kinda the point of the assertion kids need a stable set of rules at home going back to one source above others whether that is either parent or both as a pair.

That assumes that their parents are the ultimate source of authority and in many cases they aren't. Parents don't typically enforce much of a dress code for instance, but schools will often require uniforms. Kids have to learn a different set of rules for different contexts.

> That’s what prevents them from endlessly pushing their boundaries out.

The only thing that seems to prevent it (or limit it anyway) is constant enforcement, but that's also usually limited to where they have authority. A rule not being enforce in one context is a rule that will probably be broken in that context. Once in a while breaking these rules might even make them appreciate them.
Besides, I honestly prefer to have a platform censoring nothing, and letting through the occasional idiot, than starting the slippery slopes of drawing an arbitrary line that will get moved when the wind change.

Oh, I still read fiction, and I enjoyed watching Star Trek TOS. But really, how many times can you rewatch them? I know about Roddenberry's ideas, too. Lots of people have ideas. Roddenberry's are not that sophisticated (compared with, say, Tolkien's). It doesn't take much text to explain his ideas. And then what? You have silly people attempting to create "canon" for their dreamworld?

ST certainly is Roddenberry's vision of utopia. But consider that people have endlessly attempted to create utopias on earth. Isn't that more interesting? The Pilgrims tried to create one. The Amish tried. The Mormons tried. The Soviets tried. The Nazis tried. Kellogg tried. Jim Jones tried.

What's different about ST is you can always make a fictional utopia work by just typing in "... and it works!" That makes it, to me, fundamentally uninteresting compared to real world attempts that are unable to adjust their scripts to reality.
Sounds like you need to cut back expenses and start saving more even independent of this job situation.

While 3 years isn't much from a whole career perspective, I do believe those may be the three most important years, where you learn the most etc; I'm at about 10 years now, and don't feel like my level has significantly improved since then.

Orwell's Last Neighborhood
People passionate about something are much more responsible than actual legal rights holders.

Rights holders only do the absolute minimum to preserve the culture they own, countless movies available in the commercial space are the worst quality versions of those movies and people passionate about those movies will go as far as tracking down multiple versions to take the picture quality of one, cut scenes from another, the sound from another and the subtitles from a fourth to make definitive best image, best sound, no cuts version and they do all that for free.

"Modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) is a theory that proposes a modification of Newton's laws to account for observed properties of galaxies. It is an alternative to the theory of dark matter in terms of explaining why galaxies do not appear to obey the currently understood laws of physics." [1]

My previous phone - an HTC one m7 - had some battery issues when it was pretty new. I limited myself to something like 2 or 3gb per month on cellular data (because that was my plan) and yet I still had to charge my phone at work somedays. (It's not about battery over the whole month - it's about the worst case on any given day.)

I learned to debug by looking at the system data usage monitors - the standard power usage per app wasn't helpful. Turned out the problem was just a data hungry photo app we were developing at the time. We made it nicer on data usage before we launched.

And after all that, chrome was usually in my top 3 apps for data usage. Probably still is. So they absolutely should be optimizing it.

Granted that was several years ago but in some parts of the world that phone would probably be better then what the average consumer uses today.
As a counter story I once attended a talk given by an A&E consultant who was a bit dismissive of the trend for putting in defibrillators everywhere, such as at sports stadiums.
He said that by the time someone had rushed to wherever the device was kept, retrieved and used it, it was likely that, at best, you'd be looking at the casualty surviving in a persistent vegetative state.
Incidentally, someone asked about having oxygen supply and mask available for people who've collapsed. By all means, he said. That will make everyone feel better.The helpers because they are doing something, the victim because something is being done for them but other than that, it's useless.

Handling Session Disconnections in WebRTC
It's true that people would like to think that personality and emotional connection matter more than physical appearance. And I am glad that some of it is the case. Heck, I would like to believe that is the majority of cases.

But you can't deny the fact that people do make snap judgements on each other based on physical appearance alone. It's not even about dating. It's probably something wired to our brain.

Now if the above is true, why won't you care about your physical appearance? Why leave something that important on the table?
This is a rather strange take considering how large and quality the cultural (music, movies, tv, games, books, art, etc) communities are in the pirating scene.

If anything piracy is essential to the survival of culture. The more we barricade our works into locked off walled gardens the more likely we are to lose them. The music piracy scene is a large reason why a lot of music is still around today.

Bands and Artists whither away and die but the music lives on. How do you make that happen when all the music is locked behind DRM on streaming services?

Likewise goes for gaming communities that have reverse engineered the online services for long dead games. It's cracking and its piracy to distribute these games but they maintain vibrant communities for abandoned games.

I fear that with the increased reliance on streaming services, other gated content providers, and the increased effort to force copyright compliance that a lot of what we consume nowadays will become lost internet history.
"swipe right, swipe left" acts as a filter but it's not how people choose partners.

People choose partners based on chatting after the swipe and the overall impression/feeling they have when meeting in-person.

The belief that the majority of women on the dating market choose partners primarily based on looks and status is a fiction that's part of a broader narrative insecure men tell themselves to help rationalize the resentment they experience-- and a result of men projecting their own preferences and motivations onto women.

See my other comment in the thread.
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19603329

Yes, for the tiny fraction of women on dating apps seeking hookups, attractiveness and status may be important factors. Many men may never have hookups. But the obsession with hookups is a male phenomenon, and the majority of women find them off-putting.

Their bodies are decaying, and/or (mostly and) is in a state of sickness, and can't saturate its needs properly because of this, so a higher level of LDL can be indicative of them eating enough to counter their bodies increasing inabilities, or not being as sick, and so forth.
