Nobody cares if you wrote the best code in the world if the business model doesn't work out.

I once did some consulting work for a popular technology startup. I was appalled when I saw the hacks they used to get their stuff working.

But their marketing was perfect and all the devs raved about how performant and nice to work with their product was.

But when you looked at the internal code it was clear that a lot of it was written by clueless programmers who did whatever they wanted to get it somehow working. They used the worst hacks to get around the fact that the original product wasn't really built for the area they pivoted into.

That taught me a valuable lesson: everything I thought was important about building a good tech product is irrelevant. As long as it kinda works, you just need someone to sell the thing.
I love how I can switch workspaces, customize the desktop and do so much more with Unity (Unity Tweak Tool comes in handy). Had to roll back to 16.04 when I could do nothing of those on 18.04.

For the first time of me using Ubuntu (ver 18.04), I was disappointed in the fact that I had to re-learn some things and then get used to the new workflow when everything in 16.04 and Unity in particular was muscle memory.
To give anecdata, for my job I have been working on a C# web api codebase since last September, on OSX. With .NET Core and Rider.

If I developed a game I would 100% use mono + xna now on OSX.

Could you? I was under the impression that (in the US) the main difference between a phone line and an Internet connection is that former is legally protected against wiretapping and the latter not so much.
Look at it this way:

FIRST
-----

It's not a causal relationship, more energy is available -> brains start growing.

There must be evolutionary pressure for brain growth in the first place. Otherwise larger brains are selected against because it's wasteful compared to what the competition does, even if there is more energy. Only if there is such a pressure does the availability of more energy make a difference.

Other species put energy surpluses into things like elaborate but useless physiological features (interpreted as signalling their health to potential female mates), such as large tails or feathers that are either useless or sometimes even actually hinder and have no other function (that we found). So just "more energy" does not point towards any specific development, such as brain size. What happens with it, if anything, depends on other factors.

If a predator species is doing just fine finding food and mates, no need to grow the brain, no matter how much energy there is.

SECOND
------

A huge difference between herbivores and predators is the amount of time they spent on getting food. Herbivores spend pretty much all their time eating. "Meat eaters" spend most of their time resting. The additional energy is used to delay the time between meals. (Herbivore) meat grows a lot slower than plants. Alternatively, there would have to be a lot less predators, and they would have to roam greater distances - which may not work out energy wise when you add it all up. It would be interesting to do some calculations, what happens to energy if you tweak those variables, i.e. a predator species eating significantly more and using the additional energy to sleep less, what are the limitations, what happens to the system, where are the constrains?

Humans eat meat and we also spend most of our time doing something (other than eating). Of course, we managed to get more nutrients and more energy by cooking, putting part of our digestion outside our bodies, so it's not limited to "energy dense meat" vs. "grass", we are much more flexible that way.
I know nothing about Go but the project is indeed interesting. Thanks.
I'm interested in this subject. I recently read 'Why We Sleep' and I have started a revolution of getting enough quality sleep, and it has been life changing. I recommend this to everyone.

One thing that offended the reading voice in my head was the careless grammar in the article. I'm not a stickler, but starting sentences with 'am' rather than 'I am', for instance, makes the article sound rushed.
The "bad actors" argument sounds similar to the anti-gun control argument. Nobody wants regulation, but how many pointless, needless deaths are too many?
It seems rival agencies (Chinese, Russian) should be interested in doing the same, or at least denying NSA this capability. I mean adding some exit nodes is not exactly expensive, seems like a low hanging fruit, doesn’t it?
They are only fortified with a couple of vitamins that society has decided is the most important for not causing the whole population to end up with scurvy. If you eat a balanced diet, you will eat a random selection of everything. All things contain different nutrients that are important for us and since we don't know exactly which ones, we say balanced diet when we mean everything.
I did the same with my 2011 Macbook Pro in 2017, also to similar effect. As another poster points out, the more frequent maintenance task that makes a big difference is removing the fan and pulling the dust out.

With that, my 2011 2.7 GHz i7 Macbook Pro continues to be completely usable even for C++ development (also has a 1 TB SSD and 8 GB of RAM), and hopefully will get me through to a point that Apple releases a laptop that I actually want to buy. If they haven't released a Macbook with a better keyboard by the time this thing dies, it'll be my last Apple laptop.

The sources documented in the original post here (Decompiler Analysis Engine, written in C++) weren't openly published before just 3-4 days ago. The post that was about that event, 3 days ago, got only 7 comments. So HN mostly missed that event until now.

>No matter how much you want find a market effect, it's due to _human stuff_, like people's actual lives and problems. There is nothing even close to an economy around sex

This kind of wishy washy thing I'm sure feels nice to say but doesn't seem to me to have any real explanatory power except at an individual level, which is not what this discussion is about.

I bet you anything that if I had access to tinder backend data and a couple of hours to mess around in Python, I could show you the similarity in the supposedly "non-existent" market forces there to well-studied phenomena in the world of economics and finance. Just imagine a lorenz curve describing the # of "swipes" a user gets!
> So why does he need a VPN at the airport?

Because the airport made a shitty choice in designing it's wifi, and people who connect to such networks are making shitty choices.

HTTPS is nothing more than a content protocol wrapped in a transport encryption layer used for a subset of your overall traffic.

When you connect to an open wifi network your device is literally screaming 1s and 0s into the air like a maniac. A subset of these 1s and 0s are the things you're actively telling the computer to do. Most of this stuff is things like ARP, Name resolution services and other stuff that isn't encrypted for perfectly understandable reasons.

Instead, when connecting to an open airport wifi network, a personal decision is made that the connectivity is more important than encryption. Airport wifi connections could and should be encrypted with AP client isolation, but they aren't.
I'm not trying to imply this is ethically or morally right. I am trying to say that if you want to hide from the law using a VPN or anything that is easy to find on the internet is not going to help you and believing so is harmful in that you will choose a technology that you think helps you but does not and take too large risks.

You're saying that organizations can avoid being subject to providing data if their service does not store the data. But I am not convinced. If the NSA or whatever 3 letter agency demanded the data be made available in a secret court, the company would have no choice but to comply.

They could require this in several ways. They could store the data directly on government servers, or set up a third party server and store the data on there, where both parties could access it. Either way, there is no technical reason the data can NOT be collected, so if the big boys want it, they will get it.

No. People designing public access networks should use encryption and AP client isolation.
I signed up for ExpressVPN before visiting China due to all sites recommending this (I badly wanted Google maps and Google to work). ExpressVPN does not work in China so either something changed very recently or a lot of people have been bribed to lie.

I would not trust ExpressVPN anymore for anything.
Questions.

What other possible ways to clean up the dust without opening my machine?

Would Apple reapply the paste and clean up the dust if I had other form of repair, assuming I am still under AppleCare+?
I have always had great sleep, so for me it's easy to notice when my sleep is affected since it's so rare.

Top 3:

- weight. The fatter i get, the worse i sleep. And it's a vicious circle.

- rafined sugar. Too much of it will make me restless, including the sweating you mentioned, but also accelerated cardio respiratory rythm.

- things agressive on the intestine such as too much milk (i'm NOT lactose intolerant)

Screens, late intense lights and coffee seldom affect my sleep, although the later is starting to now that i'm getting older.
This was one of the key points in the episode: rent control changes this. It's not about the landlords, it's about the tenants.

If you've rented a rent-controlled apartment for a long time, even if it's huge (because you rented it when you had a large family), then it is not cripplingly expensive to hold on to it when your needs change.

It is cheaper, in fact, for you to hold on to your 6 bedroom apartment, though you use just one room, than it would be to swap it for a one bedroom apartment because you'd lose the rent control price. (See the example of Nat Sherman.)
The missing one is, "Eh, fuck it."

Killing the current web frameworks would probably do it. Gigabytes of RAM and constant processor time for basically text and images. I don't understand how all this bloat is accepted and encouraged.
We don't sue the company who owns the radio tower if it's terrestrial TV, or the hosting company if it's on-demand, or the bandwidth provider if it's cable. The important bit is who makes the decision to broadcast something; in the case of a TV show it's CBS, and in the case of a live stream on Facebook that's the user.

I think a potential solution would be to delay livestreams by 20 minutes for anyone who isn't doesn't have a direct and established connection (eg following for more than 24 hours) to the broadcaster to give platforms time to censor the worst stuff. Obviously this would make platforms responsible for effective and fast moderation though...
Sorry for a perhaps simple question.

Which part of GR requires that GR => r^2?

I can try to think of why, but I'd be guessing. I understand that many things in GR follows from when we translate reference frames that there is a light speed constancy requirement. My exposure to physics is via category theory and specifically self-dual theories that apply to the quantum sized world.

Yup. And as a non service member I can not go to it.
Yes, I understand that. So primordial black holes don't explain dark matter, but dark matter as a hypothesis came before it no? To explain something else no? The article wasn't very clear about all the links.

Also, there's zero indication in the article that this invalidates the existence of black holes.

And about dark matter, the last sentence says: "But the study does slim down the already thin chances that they are the source of dark matter's effects."

Insinuating that primordial black hole were a hypothesis for the effects of dark matter. Not that dark matter theory is proven inconsistent by the lack of evidence for primordial black holes.

I'm looking for someone who knows better I guess, to clarify. I'm only interpreting this using my reading skills from the article itself.

How would that change though. I agree its a problem, but I don't agree its not within the control of those who are not being matched to do something about it. Some arguments:

* dating apps aren't the only way to meet people; you can still meet potential partners at parks/bars/work (Americans love office romances apparantly)

* dating apps do favor the conventionally good looking folks but its also about presentation, which can be gamed and its not a secret how to.

I agree that its a little unfair that the men who are good looking get all the benefits without having to put in any effort. But hasn't that been the case with inherited wealth too?
Before all this information got leaked, nobody knew about FISA section 702, nor had any idea how it was being interpreted and acted on by government agencies. I think it's quite clear that the secret courts in the US put huge demands on organizations to share and collect data on government behalf. Even worse, the organizations can not even publicly disclose information from the proceedings.

Until I see something to convince me otherwise, I assume any sizable organization that is operating within the United States shares any/all data requested. No loophole will protect them. If they don't collect the data, guess what, time to start collecting.
If they don't know what's being posted, maybe they should change how their platform works? If a normal business behaved like this and then just shrugged their shoulders, no one would stand for it. A traditional broadcaster would have their licence revoked. A print publisher would be in serious trouble. But when it happens online, somehow it's someone else's problem. This seems odd to me.

Pretty much. This is the demographic most susceptible to radicalization.

Is there a meaningful impact of the thickness of excessive TIM? I suspect the answer is no given the clamping power of the mount will get the paste down to roughly a consistent thinness even with over-application.

ExpressVPN works well in China, although there was a week in March where it was very spotty. I'm using it right now.

I agree that it's annoying how many review sites are getting paid to recommend them, but the service actually has been good for the last year.

I've tested several VPNs here, including Mullvad and Nord. ExpressVPN has the fastest speeds by a quite a bit.

However, self-hosted is much faster still. Unfortunately, it's less reliable.

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

There are more nuances than I allowed. Sorry. I will try to refine my presentation to make it less harmful and simplistic. The narrative is based on Ingo Swann's observations (as told in his book [0]), my own conversations with women, and my own experiences.

> BUT, since you brought it up, OkCupid had a pretty detailed analysis that showed much the opposite.

I think your link confirms what I said (perhaps less than gracefully) about how women figure out what kind of relationships they're interested in at a later age than men [edit: 'sex drive', as used by the other commenter, is the term I was looking for. Women's sex drive tends to peak at a later age than men's]. I have a friend (now 62) who told me about going to classes at a community college in her 30's, and how she was giddy about all the boys, but that she never acted on it...

Interesting. I've "evolved" in exactly the opposite way. I used to go for quality all the time. Nowadays I'm pretty confident getting things done swiftly (and thus enabling more code/design iterations) works better for me in both the short and the long term.

That being said, I definitely don't pretend to be the Thomas Mann of software engineering.

On the other hand, there are multiple experiments with people creating a male profile with a photo of an attractive guy and sending explicitly sexual and vulgar messages as an introduction and still getting a lot of replies and phone numbers. At some point of attractiveness a guy can start the conversation with "I'd love to slide it in you" and the girl will reply with "hihi ok :) 123-456-789" rather than "leave me alone perv".
They should, of course. And for when they don’t, a VPN can protect you. That’s what the article is saying.

And what exactly is the problem with that?

"Thing thing = await loadThing(); ": Start loading thing, then await so the main thread can continue doing other stuff while thing is loaded.

"Thing other = await thing.doSomething();": Invoke some other function that does some stuff in the background, then await so the main thread can continue doing other stuff while thing does something.

"thing = await saveThing();": Saving can often be done in parallel so no need to block the App while something is saved. Invoke the save function, then await so the main thread can continue doing other stuff while thing is saved.

This gets you the advantages of async programming while still maintaining a legible coding style that looks similar to common synchronous code.

I agree with this. I know quite a few people who not only write code for work, but they spend massive amounts of their spare time building things or contributing to open source projects.

Although it's not guaranteed, it's likely these kind of people are significantly better than their peers.

Slightly off topic, but if you make this a habit, i.e. stop reading after the first sentence you disagree with/sounds like bs to you, there is no chance of getting out of the filter bubble as you're building it yourself.

I don't know either, but I would not make this guess, because cultural evolution tends to happen at a much faster pace than physiological (biological?) evolution. Physiology will not change much in 20 years, but culture could change drastically in the same timeframe.
