"Who is this?"

"Hello Uncle Steve!"

"Do you have any idea what time it is?" Uncle Steve asks, sounding as if he is still asleep.

"Of course I do, and so do you! It's 04:25 on Saturday... everywhere." I add a dramatic emphasis to the last word.

"But do you know what 04:25 on Saturday signifies in Melbourne?"

"Breakfast time?"

I can actually hear him rubbing his eyes.

"We don't centre our waking/sleeping cycle on solar noon, fool nephew," Uncle Steve explains. "We centre the school day on solar noon. In countries above and below certain latitudes, where seasonal variation in the amount of daylight is significant, it's important for there to be the maximum amount of light when children are going to school in the morning, and coming home from school in the afternoon. Here in Melbourne, solar noon is about 10:30 Standard Time, so the average school day is timetabled from 07:00 to 14:00, and a typical working day runs from about 07:00 to 15:00. That means that on a working day, I get up at 05:00, at the earliest."

"Ooogh. Sorry. That's about two hours later than I reckoned," I tell him.

"I know," he replies.

"I didn't know you did that in Australia," I say. "That deliberate misalignment of the diurnal routine. Does every country do it?"

"No. Equatorial countries don't, because they get plenty of light all year round. Temperate countries do, though. The technical term for it is 'daylight saving'."

I blink.

"And 05:00 is when I get up on a working day," Uncle Steve continues. "On Saturdays, I like to lie in. Until solar noon, if possible. That's more than five hours from now."

I'm beaten. "I guess I have no idea what 04:25 on Saturday signifies. It used to be pretty universal, but now where I live it signifies a time to go out and get drunk..."

"And where I live," Uncle Steve says, "it signifies a hangover."

"The same time of day on the same day of the week means many different things to different people all over the world," I say. "Too many to remember them all."

"Yeah," Uncle Steve grumbles. "It would be neat if there was a lookup table for that kind of thing."

Not a direct answer to your request, but you may also be interested in this book called “Dreaming in Code” [1] which documents the reasons and the whys of why the Chandler project failed, a book written by some of the people directly involved (if I remember right) and a book that I’ve also heard that is quite excellent (I’ve personally didn’t read it yet even though it has been on my to-read list for quite some tome, I did read though in real time the blog posts of some of the developers working on the project).

> like dating in general, but worse

In my opinion, yes and no. With dating apps it's only as soul crushing as you let it be. If the person online is not interested, s/he just ignores your message. A rejection in real life, on the other hand, can really sting. Multiple rejections can turn you off trying for good. And they are likely to happen, before you meet someone with whom you hit it off.

I highly recommend trying dating apps, especially if you're not a social butterfly. Just don't take it personally when you get no reply. And be patient, it'll probably take a while to find a good match (just like it would IRL).

There are feedback loops with editors, both experts and non-experts on the subject matter. When we work on a given domain for a long time, we sometimes lose perspective on what is obvious and what is too much details. Having someone to sanity check the structure and edit does result in higher quality blogposts.
The Navy would be highly interested in this, as they've had a project in the works for years (via NRL) to create jet fuel from seawater. They're basically 25% efficient right now, and the physical size of the device vs the output is quite prohibitive... But the advantage of making jet fuel on the carrier itself for the planes, by using onboard nuclear vs having to dispatch and maintain a fueling fleet is quite attractive even at this efficiency.

Suffering from a Non-Inferiority Complex?
That doesn't seem plausible. How can the "top 10%" of men be having sex with anywhere near the " top 90% of women"? That'd be a lot of sex for those men. And wouldn't they be kept busy enough by the top 20%-40% of women?

I do suspect that social media is a huge part of it. With such a focus on superficial attractiveness. And the potential for mobbing. There was lots more slack, back in the day.
As a fellow macOS, brew, iTerm2, and zsh user, I agree that this is an amazing setup. Telemetry sucks ass for sure, but AFAIK it can at least mostly be disabled (albeit with some work, but I think most of that is probably automated today). With WSL, you can still install brew and zsh. iTerm2 is amazing, and I doubt that Windows Terminal supports everything iTerm2 does, but that's not a huge thing.

As long as WSL v2 has better filesystem perf, it'll be pretty great.

We built our entire sales inquiry, customer support, and help system around intercom.io. It cost $50/mo for the first year (their startup introductory plan) but we never would have gotten off the ground without it. At launch our product was pretty raw and the documentation was thin; we got through that period by being constantly on top of customer support.

Customers are incredibly forgiving when they feel that they're being listened to. This kind of support is one of those "things that don't scale" that you can do in the early stage to build a foothold while you refine your product.

Really made me reflect and become more mindful of goals and outcomes of my decisions and actions in work and life.

I think this is very good because it reduces the attack surface for people who track current code.

It's important to remember a large set of un-updated nodes will remain. Not that anyone can do much, but equally not that the entire surface of bad Wordpress will go away. I would be interested how big the long tail is. one third? more?

It is also worth thinking about the code signing problem firefox just had, and reflecting on the possibility of the hack in the head still taking place: either a denial-of-service or a bad code intrusion risk remains.

That sounds like something from another planet. I don't mean to say that I disbelieve you; it's just that it's so different from my personal experience and my social circle that I have a hard time even imagining this. There's just always something happening, meeting someone from Tinder, chatting each other on Twitter (which, I must say, seems to be more hookup-friendly than Tinder even), bumping into people at parties... I mean, sometimes I catch the lonely vibe and don't go out for weeks, but I've never lost this feeling that there's always this life out there, and it happens to everyone who's not in something serious.

Totally valid point, I'm arguing about the sense of urgency in the league addressing it is all. If two jets of the same make and model crash in relatively short window, then yes, ground every last one of them right then and there and get every stakeholder involved; if a bunch of multi-millionaires get some extra side eye because they may have got nudged a bit extra, why not wait and see if it self corrects based on TV ratings and ticket sales?

Edit, added: "based on TV ratings and ticket sales" to original response.
Me and my team are big tableau users, so now that we are testing Python vega and altair are the natural approach. I am having my struggles to make altair work on jupyterlab (while ipyvega works so I could start playing), but I think it’s worth the effort. The Altair guys are extremely nice and responsive on github which is great too. For those looking for side projects, I think a nice altair gui that works in jupyterlab would be great. Anyway, why this approach is superior? Because once you get it you’ll be amazed the stuff you can do and how easily, also how easy is to train new analysts on this, this is important and matplotlib falls short. But don’t take my word, grab a trial copy of Tableau and see it for yourself.

What you have quoted is just talking. It isn't something that needs any strong worry about consent.
Read standalone, it could be anything from mutually flirtatious banter to the cringiest of escalation attempts.
Read in the context of the rest of the article, it's clearly the latter. But being bad at flirting, bad at trying to get to yes is in no way a violation of consent.

That said, other parts of the babe.net article do paint a much worse picture, of physically escalating both inappropriately (e.g. repeatedly putting her hand on his dick) and bizarrely (what's up with that fingers in mouth thing she described?)
A WaPo, NYPost & Village Voice alum who was also crab fisherman mentioned... over time, values morph and almost invert entirely:

- Upper-case Liberal Democrat become fascist, close-minded and exclusionary

- The left becomes a circular firing squad

- Republicans become more lower-case liberal

- People become atomized from one-another and no longer "disagree without being disagreeable," i.e., it's insults, snark, rhetorical spin doctoring, dismissiveness, censorship and blocking. Oh and power to the most easily offended.

- Victim hierarchy inverts power dynamics, rather than delivering equity for all, due to prevalence of mandatory equality of outcome.

In general, I think people have fashionablized and cargo-culted philosophical and political positions rather than maintained, mentored, practiced and restored them to their past meanings and values. Maybe it's partially due to the breakdown in social accountability because of mobile populations and partial anonymity/mostly unregulated nature of social media.

> Most interactions with the opposite sex are emotionally draining ...

Indeed, but this can be successfully counteracted to some degree by proper socialization, and by participating in social activities alongside a group of friends, which by virtue of creating social contexts, will lower the barriers to social interactions.

People spend too much time indoors in the company of their screens, and without adequate social training, anxiety will surely present itself when one is placed in the company of real people, especially of the opposite sex.

I don't think that it's normal that 28% of men between the ages of 18 and 30 haven't had sex in the last year, while the same percentage is 18% for women? Especially since the rates were very similar between men and women in the past. These men are likely to be less invested in society than previous generations. The effects of this are unknown, but it's considered that surplus men cause society to become less stable.

Best part of the piece:

“In the Bay Area, though, many young tech workers live in the city and commute out. Every day dozens of plush, Wi-Fi-enabled buses ferry workers out to the Valley. It is 40 miles (or 64km) from downtown San Francisco to Mountain View, where Google is headquartered, roughly the same distance as from central London to Reading, or from midtown Manhattan to Edison, New Jersey.

Those who cannot bear this commute—generally workers with children—live out in the Valley itself, a bleak, featureless sprawl of American exurbia. It is all office parks, strip malls, single-family homes and highways. Anybody looking for a “there” will be disappointed.”

I don’t know how we’ve accepted a place that has so much diversity, so much money, so much natural beauty - and yet, it’s so blasé and ugly. Between San Francisco and Santa Cruz is an architectural and cultural wasteland.

> They claimed it housed Hamas cyber operatives, which had been engaging in a cyberattack against Israel's "cyberspace."

> "We were ahead of them all the time," said Brigadier General D., the head of the IDF's cyber defense division. "The moment they tried to do something, they failed."

> Israeli officials did not disclose any details about the Hamas cyberattack; however, they said they first stopped the attack online, and only then responded with an air strike.

No details, at all, except that they had already stopped the attack, and from things like "ahead of them all the time", it doesn't exactly sound like they didn't know any other way to prevent injury or death other than to level the building.

> But planning for exceptions is also important.

Just because they killed people doesn't mean that it was an exceptional case that required it, so I would start there.

Your edit isn't fair. I mean, if you ignore Android (where you hardly get to interact with Linux - even from a copyright perspective, Android Linuxes have rarely been Linux, since too many companies don't release the source of their binary blobs), then Linux on the desktop has always been relatively niche.

I am surprised that you could seriously suggest that the market for Linux on the desktops and laptops was even commercially viable (you say "I feal it's not growing to be a growing market"). When I started using Linux, it was basically people writing stuff for themself and releasing it to everyone. That actually seems like a fundamentally good goal. So what else could you want?
