While dating apps probably have a role to play, I doubt that the problem is limited to them. I think this is a lot of small things adding up over time.

1. Video games give us fulfillment. If the reason you're looking for intimate relationships is fulfillment in life and video games partly fill that hole, then you're less likely to look for intimate relationships. Men tend to make up a much greater share of games that require a large time investment ("hardcore games").

2. Social media gives us some human contact, but it rarely leads to intimate contact. It scratches the itch of human interaction without needing us to leave the room.

3. Porn. The easy access to porn means that there's less of a reason to search for intimate contact. Men tend to be visual. When you're online, then images of a beautiful woman are only a few clicks away. It doesn't come with any of the baggage relationships come with either.

3. Dating apps. Women on dating apps seem to be harsher when judging the attractiveness of men than men are. This leads to a situation where average looking men will find it harder to find intimate partners on these services. They can't really make up for it by being smart or witty either.

4. Relationships are difficult to start. If a man approaches a woman and fails, then (sometimes) he's considered creepy. In many cases it's simply a misreading of expectations. For example, some women think that a man should always approach first, but some women think that unless a woman explicitly shows interest then a man approaching her is creepy. It's risky for a man to start the interaction, so they are more apprehensive.
At least this is the impression that I got based on what I've seen online, particularly Twitter.

5. Divorce. In many of the stories you hear about separation and divorce, it's the man that gets shafted. Women are more likely to get the kids and, at least in the stories, they might get a large alimony too. This means that the man would be severely hampered in any future relationships they seek, because some of their income goes to the former spouse.

Some men add these together and then ask themselves "why bother?" Why risk approaching a woman, if instead you could be playing video games? They are as much fun, and hey, chances are that she wouldn't be into you anyway. As a result, some men opt out from this part of society.

I'm sure there are many other small issues like this that I couldn't think of, but these are certainly things that made me question whether relationships are even worth it. Every time you hear about things like "toxic masculinity" or some such it ever so slightly chips away at some men's interest in participating in society. The small chips have added up. Couple that with compelling alternatives on how to spend your time and I think you get the result we have.

You could also argue that we're simply following in the footsteps of Japan.
This is about swimmers: https://fermatslibrary.com/s/the-mundanity-of-excellence-an-...

but it's a counter to the popular idea that "more work" is what it takes to become better at something. Two people in the same group will find that the one who tries more will get better results, but training for more time won't get them to a better group. Instead, qualitative changes are needed - probably many of them - people to work with, ways to think about work, habits of work, adopting the styles of those who are better, etc.

What if it applies to programming also?
The Power of a Brand Name
I concur. My nephews friend (who is 11) was home sick on the day of the attack, he has no relationship with the attacker, yet for some reason Facebook trended the video on this kids facebook wall.

Facebook claims not many people saw the video before it was taken down which I call bullshit on because if it wasn't viewed by many it would never have trended to a 11yo kid.

(I think hes too young for facebook but that's an entirely different issue)

Are you actually making mistakes or does he single you out for no reason? If he is unhappy with your performance, you can ask for reassignment to something you think you would be good at.

If he is doing it with no real reason, he probably just wants you gone.
Its because relationships, both casual and long term, are usually more than about sex. And even purely sexual ones... its not just orgasm that makes sex good. Its everything before and after sex, too. Its the ecstasy of sharing your most vulnerable self with _another human being_. And also the uniqueness of every experience.

It may be possible that a sufficiently advanced AI and advances in robotics may be sufficient for what most people think of sex though, IDK.
People who want to write "beautiful code" are not role models, don't listen to them. They are vain and not productive. Listen to the people who finish correct programs on time, or mostly working prototypes in hours or days.

How to recognise the former group: they obsess about coding and other standards and processes, plan and discuss too long how to implement something (plan what to implement, do it, then improve it when it's done; inspiration comes from working on something, not from thinking about it) and never even meet their own estimates for how long it'll take them to deliver. They will tell you they are taking so long because they haven't decided yet how to best implement something, but they don't even have a straightforward implementation (there's always one). If they were truly concerned with "the best way", they'd have several solutions implemented already, together with metrics and benchmarks. They haven't, because they're vain impostors and not capable programmers.

Can it be done with a single HTML file instead of Go?

You know, which can be hosted anywhere even on Github pages.
Some do, they are curious, and I can teach them a lot. At this very moment I have a junior engineer in my team. He is eager to learn and we do a lot of peer programming which benefits us both (having to explain why choosing some solution is even harder than making it 'by intuition'.

But the ones who don't are more difficult for me. I think some might be shy or unaware things can go better. The most trouble I have is with the really stuborn who don't want to learn, and think they know it all.

I try to avoid these engineers as much as possible, by hiring the ones I think are eager and willing to learn.
Why is it hard to deny? His work appears empty of real meaning, vapid, lacking in poetry and worth in all respects.

Further he is packaging himself as a product not merely his art. His bad art is wrapped in a stupid person with nonsensical views. Its like a shit sandwich wrapped in a brown paper bag peed on by a hobo.
Do you typically have things in the bed when towing? Just brainstorming, a removable battery pack that sits in the bed for when you're hauling would save weight when your not hauling.

Is the towing capacity limited by the drivetrain or chassis? If it's drivetrain then I suppose that it does not help to move the batteries to the bed. But if you're chassis limited, then keeping those batteries off the towhook would help, no?

Another thing also worth looking at is the process list and the Chrome process manager, sorted by CPU. I have no idea what, for example, sueddeutsche.de does - leave a page of them open in the background and the ads will run amok.

Another thing that can cause high CPU load is memory pressure resulting in massive swapping. If 2GB RAM are already set aside for the Docker VM and another 2GB for the core OS, you're left with 12GB RAM and that is not very much.

I play DND with my friends because there just isn't much local multiplayer in gaming anymore.

Where as I used to be able to huddle around the N64 with 4 controllers playing Goldeneye with my friends, or passing the controller round to play Worms Armageddon. Nowadays everything is online, which makes connecting to friends easier, but doesn't beat the feeling of being in the same room and laughing with your friends.
STEM is the worst social wise. You're correct that gender imbalances have a lot to do with this. There's also the fact that people who like STEM are generally social outcasts of some sort (nerds bullied in school, rarely the popular/cool kids).
I ran the program through swish, https://swish.swi-prolog.org/p/aNiMdQgL.pl. Turns out that the version without N #> 0 enters a nontermination loop when asked to produce the 2nd result for list_length2(X, 3) and fails with "Stack limit (0.2Gb) exceeded". Presumably because it unifies the first clause for the 1st result, then for 2nd result it unifies the second clause to enter negative N domain, and it's all downhill from there.

Somewhat scary that one has to run programs forwards and backwards to ensure there are no hidden corner cases, but perhaps it becomes second nature for more experienced Prolog coders.
I'm curious, did you notice this toxic behavior in other areas too, or just IT? To me it seems like IT has a higher percentage of assholes.
This is the whole reason monogamy was standardized. It is a stabilizing force in society and creates equality instead of a winner take all situation. Without monogamy you end up with a small number of men having the attention of the majority of women. This causes huge problems, with the loosers being the average and below average men and women. Certain things about how society evolved to function are there for a reason.
Meta languages normally imply that you can program the language syntax itself via an extensive macro system.

But then, I'm not sure perl has that facility at all.

Last time I checked, about 2 years ago, none of the Swedish banks used HSTS. And a couple of them used HTTP on their main page and and HTTPS on their internet bank which was put on some weird domain. Chrome's changes has since then forced them to move everything to HTTPS but I would be very surprised if they all use HSTS now.
Yes, just ask for one. Consider

list_length(A, -1)

this is asking if any list A has a length of -1. If the guard is not there the second rule is valid, and a infinite recursion can result.
Dating apps, much like social networking apps like Facebook, reduce our interactions to the shallowest form possible. So it is much better for people to not use these forms and resort to more laborious methods of interaction because these also allow a deeper more honest connection between people. Deeper and more honest connections lead to better understanding and appreciation of each other, which is good for society. Unfortunately we haven't even figured out how to ween people off easy "social interaction" yet, much less dating apps.
4K video: possible on VPN, impossible on TOR.
Agree?
I think the thing that the article is trying to communicate is that people misrepresent whom a VPN protects you from, and how. It protects you in many ways from your ISP and your government. It does not really protect you from Facebook or Google.
This presumes that normal status/appearance actually can't find mates instead of merely not getting as much casual sex.
Sure. Can't give you an exact list, but start with https://www.reddit.com/r/keto/wiki/faq and then take a look at dietdoctor.com who have a 2 week (I think) intro to keto which gives you some decent variation with keto food (and worked really well for a friend of mine). I use MyFitnessPal to track what I eat and keep below 20g of net carbs every day (usually coming in around 10-15).

Good luck with it - IBS is absolutely miserable.
Somebody did actually create a Lorenz curve based on Tinder data: https://medium.com/@worstonlinedater/tinder-experiments-ii-g...

Please, understand that Atkins diet is not a diet recommended for everybody. It's a diet created to help people that suffer an imbalance in their diet (or worse, in their metabolism) that has made them get fat and they want to lose weight.

That's why "balanced diet" is an absurd recommendation for fat people. If you're following a balanced diet, you probably don't need to lose weight. Atkins himself recommended a balanced diet, just avoiding refined carbs, for most people.

One personal comment: I wouldn't follow any diet proposed by activists of any kind, specially when their main motive is their particular ethics that, at least for me, suggest a strong bias. Unless of course I share that same ethical vision. Edit: I actually wouldn't follow any life advice from activists of any kind, I'd rather have my own agenda.
I reactivated my OkCupid profile recently. I’m as undesirable as I always was. There’s nothing to do but to laugh about it.

I maintain that I am flagging this because I consider it off-topic and not intellectually stimulating.

Not really, which is why integration tests are so important.
Maybe it is glycemic load? I completely agree, but I get hit hard by sugars, bread, mashed potatoes and cheap fries (really good fries I justify).
> Paper does not tell you when something you draw is wrong.

With some things it does. At least better than your brain does. Typesystem does it even a bit better. But you end up with a picture not a program nonetheless, before you start writing implementation.

> What is no different from learning that something you implemented is wrong [...]

What is different is that with all the types you wrote, the process of problem discovery that happens during implementantion is stifled by what you wrote so far. Also you have additional temptation to contort your types and to leave it in a bad state because you wrote so much already and you'd very much want to avoid tossing that out.

My point is that you discover problem through experimentation and types make experimentation harder because they make the code in some ways harder to change. TypeScript avoids that by allowing you to use as much types as you want at any stage of problem/solution discovery but not forcing you to.
We have time travel (sort of) at Testim.io that records and replays apps.

Literally years of development, edge cases and heuristics in order to be usable in face of changes that are meaningful in the page (since while replay is static the page itself changes).

Chrome used to have recording mode which was very decent.
>* code beautification is also highly subjective. Everybody has different opinions on beauty and easy to read. Providing the means to allow developers to exercise those opinions dynamically and automatically makes people happy. So long as it’s just vanity the code stills executed and reads the same way.

No. Formatters have won. All code should be run through a formatter that contains zero options. The result is the how the code looks. Obviously languages with significant whitespace are more limited in what their formatters can do, but the point about it being subjective is irrelevant.
>> We have a new young generation that seems to
>> unquestionably look to government for all answers

This is especially weird given that the very same people consider the current US government to be incompetent (for the record, I disagree, based on the results in a number of areas).

The very same people seem to suggest that we abolish the 1st and 2nd amendment, and in the same breath suggest that "our democracy is dying" and we're on our way to "totalitarianism". How these things can be suggested at the same time, I don't know. Seems like utter and complete lack of critical thinking skills to me.
Maybe you want to consider to switch to a whole food plant based diet. Other than the other „lifestyle“ diets such as low carb, the plant based is actually backed by science. A good source is nutritionfacts.org and the book „how not to die“ by the same author.
If you asked me to switch two months ago, I‘d say no way. But the science behind it convinced me to try it and it is so much easier than expected.
MetalKube - bare metal Kubernetes
In my experience, find something you want to find out about a software, and then do that. For example I wanted to write an autosplitter (used for speedrunning) for the witcher 3. So I first had to figure out a plan. I found out that witcher3 is heavily based on facts, and fact-changes. If you progress a quest, thats an entry to the fact-database. I went looking for the method which adds facts to the db, and after a while I found it. Then I hooked it (redirected it to a custom function, which calls the original after my custom code executed), and wrote the rest of the autosplitter.
Thanks! This is great advice. If and when I return to the world of carbs I'll definitely do it like this. Keto as a diet really works for me (wonderfully). So many of my favourite foods!

This is rather subjective. Looking at this collection of pages, I have no doubt that the first one looks much, much better than any of the others.

A few things annoy me on this article.

About deaths: The author says nuclear causes fewer deaths than the rest. Maybe that's true, but he (voluntarily?) omits to take into consideration long term health issues related to incidents. The Tchernobyl accident released radioactve cloud that affected many people that died of cancer or are having health issues related to it. Worse than that, it's almost impossible to track who got sick because of those clouds.
So yeah, maybe just a "small set" of people died DIRECTLY following nuclear incidents, but long term effects cannot be ignored just for the sake of the argument.

Next, the waste. "stored in a walmart, that degrade over time". Again, the author omits to say the duration ... over time is an understatement here, you will be long gone before that "waste" is not dangerous for environment.

I stopped reading after that. The post is written in a way to force you to accept his arguments by omiting half of the true story. That's not journalism.
Working as a UX-Designer
Exactly this. I work in C2C e-commerce which in my jurisdiction has very strict laws around ensuring we do due diligence on the people we allow onto our platform. If we didn't we would be finished. The only way to get Facebook to start taking this more seriously is through more regulation.
Still when I look at my old code and I see the better approaches I could have taken, it makes me think about the fact that my skills have grown
This is correct.
Lower power consumption as a result of better TIM and thus lower core temperatures:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poole–Frenkel_effect

https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/effect-of-temperature-o...

The effect is so pronounced that a watercooled computer running under full load will typically use less power than an identical aircooled computer, because the lowered silicon current leakage more than makes up for the power consumption of the pump and additional fans.
We are being told about it, but it is considered old-fashioned.

Also, when you are young, the effects of breaking those rules are less severe. But then, gradually and slowly, you are not so young anymore.
I agree with you - and that's why I started out with "I understand what you're saying" - that it's not a common choice for Mac and Linux. But then again, I'd argue neither is Go, Rust or certainly Muon.

.Net core is potentially going to fix this though.

As for Go, Rust (and maybe Muon): I believe all of those have rough edges in cross-platform development too. Say - building nice UIs across platforms is still messy as far as I'm aware - and the C# cross-platform apps I mentioned (see: Banshee) struggled with that in the past as well.

Definitely don't want to sound like a C# fanboy, although this is the stack I'm working with. I'm merely saying that is is a viable and improving option, so dismissing it in favor of a completely new language seemed odd. Not to knock Muon, but why can't they both co-exist and be equally viable?
Nice find, but please don't blow compressed air into a fan without blocking its rotation. It will induce currents and can cause damage to your mainboard.
I think it’s a balance. At the other end of the spectrum are the “cowboys” who are productive by writing sloppy code with bad architecture and are either oblivious of or just ignore the huge pile of technical debt they pass along to the people who get to maintain their code.
so tiresome
So If I understand it right, this is an ORM (with some graphql like properties) with the addition of data model code generation?

FaaS Is the Least Important Thing About Serverless
I believe it’s almost identical to other fields: review, revise and reflection is the best way to learn. If someone want to improve his code quality, he should continuously review his code, best together with a “better” programmer. After finding the weak spots of his code, he should try to improve them by himself. To do so, he need to learn from good examples, exploring the reason behind through computer literature and experienced coders. After achieving a better version, he should reflect on his practice, how he might come to the solution himself in the first place, why did he choose the first solution and very soon he will start to recognize certain patterns.
Regarding technical expertise, he should find where the challenge lies and start studying and practicing to make the knowledge sticks. He should go out of his comfort zone, challenge his ability and make mistakes. That is the only way to mastery.
