Sure. But the lead in to that makes it pretty clear:

> But that still does not seem to explain the persistence of America’s sex recession, or its most extreme feature: how concentrated it is among men. Since 2008 there has been almost a threefold rise in the share of men under the age of 30 who claim to be having no sex. At the same time, the portion of sexless women increased by only 8%. A range of possible explanations for the disparity has been suggested, and the students seemed to corroborate several of them. Many felt men’s social skills had been especially eroded by over-reliance on technology. Overindulgence in porn meanwhile offered them an escape route from reality. Yet the most compelling answer, because it contains elements of all that and more, may be signalled by young people’s increasing reluctance to date.

> This is often blamed on the “hook-up culture” of college campuses. Yet casual sex and dating coexisted in the 1990s. It is also easy to exaggerate—now as then—how many people are hooking up. Half the Northwestern students said they rarely or never did. Yet they also rattled off reasons not to date which, among the men, who would traditionally take the lead in such encounters, included uncertainty about how they were even managed. Many considered the prospect of chatting someone up in a bar not merely daunting but possibly offensive. “Revealing that your intention in talking to someone is sexual? That’s hairy,” shuddered one man.

I didn't get comfortable "chatting someone up in a bar" until my mid 30s. After a few ~long-term relationships, and a failed marriage. And this was during the 60s-80s.

I can't imagine what it's like now.
Hard disagree, most people aren’t looking outside of a pretty narrow radius on the apps.

The vision of the mentioned chandler project captured my interest. http://www.chandlerproject.org anyone knows if there exists continuation in spirit?
A former employer had mainframes that weren't permitted to run at full capacity without paying even more. They were so entrenched they paid IBM thousands of dollars whenever they exceeded their allotment.
It could also be due to the millennial generation being pickier about who we have sex with. Consider this graph [1] from Datacalysm. It displays the number of messages received by attractiveness. The more attractive an individual, the more messages they receive. There's also another graph [2] that splits this data by gender.

There is a pretty significant drop around the 85% mark for women. Which means that the bottom 80% of men are competing for the top 10% of women when meeting through online dating apps.

In a world where a more attractive individual is only a swipe away, it's much more likely that the less attractive individuals are getting far less sex.

This is just attractiveness. Consider other elements, like family pressures, possibilities of lawsuits / accusations (#MeToo), and other modern issues around sex. No wonder folks are spending less time hooking up.

When 50% of the population smoked, smoking in bars was accepted. Non-smokers who didn't want to spend an evening wreathed in smoke didn't go to bars. Those who did knew what they were in for.

I think approaching people to try to get them into bed is a lot like smoking. At one time, 50% of people in a bar were engaged in that activity. If you went to a bar in the evening, you knew that would be a part of the environment. That doesn't mean it wasn't annoying or awkward for the people being hit on who just wanted to enjoy an evening with friends. It's understandable too that as it becomes rarer, it also is more likely to be seen as creepy, just as smoking has become more offensive as it becomes more rare.
How was KD signing his contract year a loophole? The Warriors paid the max that could be paid for a 9-year vet, $26,540,100, and they were still under the luxury cap. [1]

As for gaffing, it wasn't the NBA but rather the NBAPA. The NBA has good reason to smooth out salaries. But it's a stars league and the stars have good reason to lock in as much now as possible. Who has been the president of the Player's Association since 2013? CP3.

I know but they’re not going to hound you out of the bar, at worst they’ll say something mean and the interaction will be over. Also, become more attractive. Getting fit, dressing better and getting better posture or more confidence are available to most everyone healthy.
Wow, that's a welcomed change for me. I was trying every 3-4 months to get WSL working as a suitable development environment. There was always _something_. Excited to try this out again when I have a free day on a weekend.
this is such a long and convoluted conflict...

israel withdrew from gaza in 2005, but kept control of access points, air travel etc making gaza a weird place, partly under israel control.

hamas (basically a terrorist org) literally took over gaza from fatah (a nationalist party) in a war in 2007. then you’ve got the islamic jihadis, a bonafide terror org, which started taking over from hamas, in the same gaza strip.

both hamas and islamic jihadis want the annihilation of the state of israel.

i see no end in sight to the bloodshed, no matter how many civilians die.

but i do understand why people would side with israel when it comes to gaza, and side with the palestinians when it comes to occupied territories.
Maybe, maybe not. Maybe you throw some seeds in the ground and check them a few weeks later because it's not an engineering project. That's what I do in the summer. I've had a few issues over the years but my successes outnumber my failures despite being a bit inattentive.
And I didn't care about them there either.

But you know, you could send them the feature requests - they actually implemented something I asked for on mobile, so at least one team is listening.

Because it will save a lot of money for them in the long and we'll have fewer disasters that risk the world economy.

Human intelligence is distributed and responsibility should be as well. Concentrate the power and people take advantage and then weasel out of responsibility, leaving others to suffer the consequences.

The well connected get their risks socialized, because they are "too big to fail". The same story is repeated over and over again.

People who take the risks should get both the losses and the benefits. It's called "skin in the game".
You have a good heart - I hope you keep at it, even if it means just keeping the elderly company or helping with simple tasks; they and the senior center staff will certainly appreciate it.
Well, Wayland adopted it. I understand they didn't want to, but the users want it. It's basically drag-and-drop where you don't need both things to be visible at the same time and continuity of movement becomes optional. Drag and drop isn't widely used because it's awkward. But PRIMARY is probably used by a much higher proportions of the users who have it available since it fixes all the problems with it.

Btw. If you want to disable it, you can. But I think you need to be more specific than "Linux" to find instructions, since Linux doesn't have anything to do with your gui. There's presently two major tools responsible for taking applications and putting them on screen, and several other environments responsible for providing you with a useful working environment in terms of the graphical display. But you're probably a troll, because a real Linux user would actually make a useful complaint.
In the past the ruling class could always count on the proletariat (literally "offspring producing") to reproduce itself no matter how abysmal its conditions. Yet today we find ourselves in a situation Malthus could not have expected: the proletariat is on reproductive strike! The ruling class response is to push an ideology of mass migration that no one dares question. Who will stand up and say they don't welcome immigrants? Not I. This solution seems to be working in the short term, but if birth rates decline in the developing world, there won't be anyone to mass migrate. Then what? Share the wealth?
I used ConEmu for years. Splitting the console and tabs are awesome.
A few questions from a chemistry major

1. why extract from the air when you can just put a device on the smokestack of an existing coal or natural gas plant? The higher CO2 density of the effluent will make things more efficient.
2. Your key innovation isn't the part where you pull CO2 out of the air; it's the nanotube-based reverse osmosis process for separating ethanol from water. This process could just as easily be applied to other fields. For example, bioethanol production similarly requires a very expensive distillation step to extract pure ethanol from the fermentation medium. Making that step more efficient would be much simpler than reinventing the entire supply chain around carbon dioxide extraction and subsequent reduction to ethanol.
How about too many people think that they deserve somebody too much more attractive than they are?

Things like Facebook/Instagram/Tinder give the illusion that there are lots of attractive people out there when, in reality, those attractive people are unavailable to YOU because YOU aren't attractive enough. If you hold out for someone too far above your level, you're going to be waiting a while.

This has been documented in college professors. Divorce rates are quite a bit higher among college professors because the abundance of attractive members of the opposite sex makes them less satisfied with their partners even though those youngsters really aren't available to them.
This is a very brilliant question. Thank you!
I understand this sentiment but let’s call out all of the spades.

Of all the colloquialisms to go to...
>The portion of Americans aged 18 to 29 who claim to have had no sex for 12 months has more than doubled in a decade

>almost a threefold rise in the share of men under the age of 30 who claim to be having no sex

So are people actually having less sex, or are they just more willing to admit it?
The entire Rust section is premised on the common fallacy that "bad programmers", however defined, are responsible for the safety and security problems of C and C++. The conclusion is that, because "bad programmers" are supposedly incapable of learning Rust anyway, Rust's safety features are pointless.

None of that is true. The biggest memory safety flaws that have caused the most damage have been, more often than not, written by the best C and C++ programmers. That's because the best programmers are the ones who write the critical C and C++ code--Chromium, Firefox, WebKit, the Linux kernel, nginx, libpng, libjpeg, libc, etc. "Bad programmers" (whatever that means) can't, and don't, usefully contribute to projects like WebKit to begin with.

The problem is with the tool. Though it's an inconvenient fact to accept, humans have shown themselves incapable of writing safe C and C++ code at scale using standard software development practices (i.e. not spending 10x on verification). That C and C++ are due to be replaced shouldn't really be controversial--it's natural to expect that we know how to design languages better now than we did in 1978.
Dating apps are soul crushing seas of rejection, like dating in general, but worse because you feel like you’re trying when you’re playing with your phone. Given the choice between a mixed sex social activity once a month and dating apps you’re probably better off with the first.
Even easier, just be nice, friendly and maybe even charming. You shouldn't even start to flirt until all that is going well, and by then the flirting is probably fine.

WSL came originally from their plan to make Android apps trivially portable to Windows Phone.
I don't think the parent was referring to his singular focus, but rather his decades-long history of telling lies. In fact, not only did he lie, but he did everything in his power to destroy the careers and reputations of anyone who tried to investigate him.

For example:

> When Betsy Andreu cooperated with David Walsh on his first book, revealing that Armstrong had admitted using PEDs to his oncologist, he sued her for libel. He has called her a "crazy bitch." He threatened to "destroy" Filippo Simeoni for cooperating with anti-doping officials. After Tyler Hamilton released his book about doping in the world of professional cycling and began to cooperate with law enforcement, Armstrong accosted him in an Aspen restaurant: "When you're on the witness stand, we are going to fucking tear you apart. You are going to look like a fucking idiot. I'm going to make your life a living ... fucking hell." [1]

> I think things like asan and ubsan are far more helpful even with plain C than features like smart pointers.

I agree. Smart pointers are not effective safety features. They mostly add new ways to get use-after-free. (shared_ptr helps a bit by automatically bumping reference counts, but shared_ptr is often discouraged in modern C++, and there are lots of ways to get around this, such as "shared_ptr&".)

> I'm honestly not sure rust is going to work for those types of systems either. Sometimes you just have to poke bits into memory and I'm not sure how a super safe language will deal with that better than C.

Read the "Writing an OS in Rust" series. Even in the kernel, you can have a relatively small trusted computing base and then most of the rest of the code can be safe.
Many people would consider being nice, friendly, and especially charming to be flirting.
Agree to disagree on all counts?
> Clojure designed for ease of use and being familiar

I.e. Lisp, basically.
Well, WSL1 has real bad performance with lots of small files and they say their internal performance tests unzipping a tarball 20x faster and git clone or npm install going 2-5 times faster. Not sure what IPC would make slower...?
> "Modern" mentality seems to be that everything is illegal unless government specifically approves

The Anglo-American legal tradition of everything being permitted unless explicitly prohibited was actually an huge abberation and always had been. Unfortunately there is nowhere left in the world where that tradition still holds.
the argument is that they were/are terrorists. which is partly true, hamas and islamic jihadis control gaza, want the destruction of the state of israel and are classified as terrorist orgs.
Do you have any evidence that there were actually rockets fired from the building which housed the attackers?

If so, please solidify your point and contribute to the discussion by providing it.

Equating criticism of either Israel or Zionism with anti-Semitism does real disservice to the victims of actual anti-Semitism both past and present.
Tinder is garbage. They have intentionally created a horribly imbalanced market to hook women with unrealistic prospects while extracting as much money as possible from the bottom 80% of men.

Singles meetups organized around a shared hobby or activity are a million times better.

Can you (or someone) explain _why_ the model translate to files on disk? Is it that there's a different set of operations that need to be supported? (you can't seek a socket I suppose)
> real life experiences are much more emotionally enriching

I would challenge this and probably flag it as the core problem.

Most interactions with the opposite sex are emotionally draining and insipid and our digital interactions are almost always more rewarding.

The problem is that you have to wade through a ton of mud to get to the gold nugget that is someone you genuinely like to interact with.
Golf courses too.
from the israelis point of view they’re just defending themselves against terrorists.

from the terrorists point of view, the destruction of the state of israel is worth sacrificing lives.

Sure. Believe me, I understand how difficult it can be if you haven't practiced this skill or are not neurotypical. But unfortunately, constructing an exhaustive decision tree is impossible. But yeah, be respectful is obviously a little glib for the purpose of brevity on this forum.

Do you really think that rapid growth of human population [0] is not the reason of irreversible damage to the nature and our planet in general?

Also if you thought I was talking about murder or genocide - read it again. Our population need to stop growing (should even decline) and do it rapidly. Otherwise we'll be part of species extinction list.

If that’s true I’m happy for you. I suggest observing the behaviour of other women to see how they react to similar behaviour from men of different levels of attractiveness. Whether it’s height, fat or just facial symmetry more attractive people, men and women, get away with more in life and go further, faster.

If I said the average man would sooner marry a penniless single mother of three who looked like a super model to an ugly woman with a nice personality would you find it similarly unbelievable?
No not at all, not even 2 months rent in my bank account. Maybe try some different banks? My only experiences are with Chase, Marcus and a very small town bank.
“Stealing land” is how, through economic disparity, most modern nations have been born and grown, has it not?

> The nesting is irrelevant to understanding the semantics

The nesting is absolutely relevant to producing the semantics.

The following uses deceptive whitespace to suggest a nesting that is contrary to the actual nesting, interfering with understanding:

if (foo)
if (bar)
xyzzy();
else
flop();

The ternary operator A ? B : C is the goofy invention of demented mind. In nested situations, it is mind-bendingly unreadable. It behooves us to style it in a way that reveals the abstract syntax tree structure.

In C, I would in fact recommend:

#define if3(a, b, c) ((a) ? (c) : (c))

return if3(a < b, -1, if3(a > b, 1, 0));

Now we can have it in one line, yet it's clear.
> To be completely honest, the only way this news could be any better in my eyes was that if Microsoft also committed to being 100% privacy-focused and removed any and all telemetry from Windows.

As much as I'm also privacy minded, I do support telemetry in software (not the kind that touches my data) but if the developers can get traces of how people actually interact with their product and what happened when their product did crash - it helps a LOT, not only technically but also to shift management's focus onto an issue.

What do you have against telemetry in software? (again, not the kind that saps your data for gains).
Incidentally, this is also what helps sustain societies through times of failing leadership.
I recommend trying a Topre switch keyboard because they're very high quality and quieter than most, if not all, of the Cherry-type mechanical switch keyboards. In my opinion, Topre switches have the best feel for typing.

The downside of wanting a Topre switch keyboard is that your options are very limited. Topre makes a line of keyboards under the brand Realforce. They also license or sell the technology to PFU for the Happy Hacking Keyboard Pro 2 and to Leopold for the FC660C. They formerly licensed the tech to CoolerMaster for the Novatouch TKL keyboard. There may be more options now, but I haven't checked recently.

I use a Topre Realforce 87U keyboard and a CoolerMaster Novatouch TKL. They're the two best keyboards I've ever owned.
Personally, I feel like non-tripping people are fine if they've been there before. It's frustrating when you have somebody who has never dosed asking you what it's like, and you have to suddenly explain color to this blind person who thinks you're a gibbering idiot (because you are, kind of).
If you have enough control of the server it resides on, one of the best things you can do is to deny it access to write to the PHP files of the Wordpress install (which requires that you use WP-CLI via command line to do updates), and setup automatic updates by calling WP-CLI through a cron job or however you want to automate that.

When a Wordpress install has write access to its own PHP files, then a vulnerability can do more harm obviously since it can modify the Wordpress install itself and thus more easily "infect" the installation. Denying write access cuts off many attacks from doing significant harm. BTW WP-CLI can also do checksums of your install.

I wouldn't fret too much about seeing attempted hack attempts. If you have enough logging turned on for a public web server, you'll see a constant stream of hack attempts for all types of languages / frameworks. I did this the other day and saw what I recognized as a variety of different attacks targeted at PHP, Rails, and Java.

Regarding usernames: note that Wordpress will, by default, expose those usernames in things like posts (author's username is revealed). I had to modify my theme to make that stop, and even then I'm not 100% sure it's not leaking somewhere I missed. Maybe you want to do all content editing with a user that has reduced privileges and only use your admin user when necessary.
This is a long rant and I couldn’t finish even half the post because it was going nowhere. The lead is totally buried.

If you’re not attractive become attractive. If you’re not the kind of person you’d put up with change, become better. If you’re not smooth or confident work on them, they’re learnable skills. Don’t be yourself, that’s a crock of shit those born on third base say, work on becoming better, on becoming someone you respect and who you think is worth dating.
Read about the Aziz Anzari situation.

You mean the part where consent wasn't given in the first place? Here's the original article:

https://babe.net/2018/01/13/aziz-ansari-28355

“I wasn’t really even thinking of that, I didn’t want to be engaged in that with him. But he kept asking, so I said, ‘Next time.’ And he goes, ‘Oh, you mean second date?’ and I go, ‘Oh, yeah, sure,’ and he goes, ‘Well, if I poured you another glass of wine now, would it count as our second date?’”
