> It "could" be any number of things but only one perspective is being addressed. Implying that someone's failure to conform to our ever changing, opinionated and perceived social "norm" is the cause of their issues and concerns is not helping anyone.

Uhh.. no I mentioned: "It is possible (maybe less likely) that you have little interest in deep social connections."

Listen bud, a person that is well-adjusted in their social life whether that is gregarious or solitude doesn't post a complaint of this nature to an online forum. Something is wrong, whether it is the way the individual attempts to make social connections or their own acceptance of their needs and letting go of perceptions of what people think. And not all of that can be blamed on others. I didn't claim to know or judge which one it was.

And yes, most software engineers have a healthy social life, because software engineers as a population are not really that different from the norm.

> I don't feel generalizing the issue in a blanket statement that the problem is specific to the individual in question and somehow not related to circumstances beyond that individual's control is beneficial to the OP and anyone dealing with similar issues.

Problems that are beyond an individual's control are worth acknowledging but are otherwise irrelevant since there is nothing that can be done about them. Identifying problems that are within one's control are the first and only step to improving one's circumstances.

There were plenty of people here replying that: oh it's just other people, it's not you. Well that is partly true, but that's also bullshit and not helpful. I refuse to believe that someone complaining on an Internet forum about their social problems has exhausted all options for personal growth.

> Obviously very few, but it would be inaccurate and irresponsible to lay blame on an astronaut if they feel socially isolated as a result.

No, I say it is fully responsible to blame (I hate this word, but I'm trying not to be weasley) the astronaut if they feel socially isolated. Ultimately the only one responsible for their happiness and fulfillment is them alone. Sure they can blame the plebes that don't "get it" and wallow in permanent victimhood, but that doesn't do any favors for their psyche.

A lot of people, including astronauts are able to find joy in other things than space travel that they can then relate with a broader array of people (this may be "pedestrian" sports, or this may more like joining the demoscene for the Atari 2600). The thing that you and others seem to miss is that efforted development of broader interests can be an ends justifying means to counter social isolation. It's a responsible and mature thing to do.
Sounds good to me. Wired headphones or aptx hd bluetooth. Benefit from the flacs? I mean, it's just CD quality. 1980's standards! It's amusing how many other elements of technology are massively improved from the 1980's, and some of which are still improving, and yet CD was pretty much perfect, and it's STILL seen as some odd, edge-case extremist for wanting to listen to it and not, I dunno, 128kbps mp3s or whatever.

No, Google Maps is actually a case where JavaScript makes sense. But this message reminded me of many seemingly static pages that are actually blank if you don't enable JavaScript, without even any hint that you should enable JavaScript. Reader mode often works perfectly on these pages. Sometimes, blocking the white element hiding the content of the page works well too.

I don't hate JavaScript, I have actually developed several web applications using it, and like it.
If you look at the Taylor series link, you can see the sum representations of trigonometric functions.

So for instance, the 3/5/7 is just the (2n+1) value.

The other looks like the sum of the product of (2n-1)/(2n) for values 1 to n.

You must be living a good life if you've got time to maintain a toy programming language (https://github.com/kerkeslager/fur), and you must be able to pick your work carefully if you're so passionate about GPL, which I can respect.

The SPIR-V for WebGPU has the subsetting of the language at [1], validation is fully implemented in spirv-val and as are the safety checks in spirv-opt.

As for the post getting upvoted to the top of Hacker News, that's the community's choice, not ours. The initial poster wasn't even an Apple person (afaik). If you are insinuating some kind of vote manipulation then that is inaccurate.

Nice work! It would be cool if the playground supported bringing IxJS into the mix. I've found it difficult to explain to my team members how Ix and Rx can complement one another.

I'm currently reading The Dream Machine and it's my impression from that book that Skinner's work was largely discredited (or at least his results were greatly exaggerated).

I think a core tenant of his work was that there is no mental state at all and that everything is just conditioning.
Decomposing is typically only in reference to tissues/organs/soft matter. Things that bacteria, insects, and animals can eat (thus causing the decomposition). This happens rather quickly.

Bone can't be eaten, so when all that is left is the Skeleton there is no more decoposing. As long as they aren't crushed or destroyed through other means, bones will last virtually forever.

I assume he was identified by dental records or something similar (healed broken bones, etc).
Does Libertarian idea of a penal system not rely on the idea of discipline? I'm curious as the western world has moved on from the previous system where a crime was considered a personal offence to the sovereign. In which case, criminals were displayed in public and tortured. To a system where criminals are to be reformed and disciplined into a normalized individual. An eye for an eye seems to be a regression back to the systems before we had a state and where the penal institution was no longer a extension of politics.

FizzBuzz covers a lot of (very basic) ground but adding memory manipulation is valuable. I ask a few simple string manipulation interview questions for embedded C developers as a weeder and the point is that we want to see how candidates deal with pointers and low level memory. There are other good follow-ups and alternatives you can build off this. Engineers with years of experience fail these questions all the time. Dealing with 'tedious' things like this is daily part of some developer jobs.

Creating the public/private distinction would also help solve some legitimate political issues and provide a much more consistent framework. Politics is mostly a game of compromise. You could give in on already gutted half markets, such as public health insurance, while using the leverage to push harder to keep most other industries open.

Ideology often gets in the way of providing the best solution to the greatest amount of people. I personally don't see much value in keeping a broken half-market like health insurance putting along in the name of "free markets". That just makes people blame markets for the failures of the public/private arrangements, which hurts them in other areas where it does make sense, where markets should be the default.

Others like private prisons and private military contractors makes the public lose trust in public institutions. Having a trustworthy justice and government system is critical for all markets to succeed.

Additionally a harder public/private distinction will put greater weight in these decisions and more responsibility. It's very easy for a politician to grab the half-measure public/private mix while pretending to appease both sides.
Just for fun, same sentence on health care.

> I'm so happy about this. Private health care insure are the scum of the earth. They're totally antithetical to a free society that values human life. They often lobby for minimum health care coverage in law (effectively requiring by law a certain percentage of citizens to be marked as clients). Any profit they skim off the top is money that should be spent on research and education. Next up should be criminalizing charging huge quantities for basic health care by private hospitals and the usurious fees on drugs.

I'd wager $1 in their pockets costs society easily 10X that.
I think I was too negative in that comment. I apologize.

I do think you're minimizing the issue in the way you talk about it, but the line about you not being aware of problems wasn't justified in the slightest and was just rude.

Four years to "find yourself", get drunk, and generally waste time? That's what the majority of people do (in the US at least).

The majority of my undergraduate classes amounted to:

* practicing reading
* practicing writing
* practicing participating in group discussions
* practicing demonstrating concepts (maths and proofs)
* practicing a second language

For most of those courses, I could have been handed a syllabus of topics to learn on my own, and then taken a final exam- I'd already had plenty of practice writing and speaking at that point outside of school, so everything but the second language requirement for my degree could have boiled down to a few weeks or months.

Realistically, they both serve Barilla dried pasta.
The actual functionality exposed is close enough that cross-compiling is a solvable problem. But fair point.

(On the flip side, having two syntactically very similar but actually different things can be dangerous, as it may lead devs to think some tooling works when it actually doesn't.)
>my point is, vanishing landlord or no, the units remain

Still wrong:

1) Apartments get converted to condos, or re-purposed because the property has value, but renting doesn't.

2) The population keeps growing meaning that your same number of units don't meet the needs.

3) Rental supply also drops as people opt not to move and sit on their rent-controlled apartments, limiting the supply for those looking.

This is why rent-control has the effect of making housing worse, even if the rental supply is maintained.

I am in software development but my troubles are at home. This is why I am using a throwaway. I am bad with relationships. There two sides to every story but this is my side. I have a quiet agreeable demeanor. Its a cultural thing and a personality thing. Unless something is going to affect my life I tend to agree. I seem to attract the opposite types of partner. My partners tend to do all the talking which is fine with me. I am fine with most things except for the things I believe in then I am very stubborn. When I put my foot down it seems things just escalate. It seems to take my partners by surprise when I disagree or put my foot down and they don't take it too well. Now I am not sure anymore whether it is how I communicate that causes all my problems. I just want peace so I acquiesce even though I know deep down I don't agree. Well you guessed it, the peace doesn't last too long because I truly do not believe in whatever it is I have agreed to. The arguments and accusations escalate. I am heterosexual male. Typical items include me being told I am not caring enough yet to me I feel like spend hours listening to my partner and asking how they feel. I carry bags, fix plumbing, make the bed, sweep, occasionally cook. I am just not the flower sort of guy but somehow nothing ever seems good enough. I think I take criticisms to heart. I don't mind the off argument or criticism but what kills me is that this seems to happen every other day. I don't get enough time to recover my peace and self confidence before another bout of criticisms gets thrown my way. Its been 5 years. I love her very much, we have made some wonderful memories but honestly I cannot see myself living like this for the rest of my life.
Actually the first link says " the Israeli exports include military technology developed by the US, and which Washington expressly forbids from being exported to China." Arguably the only reason they have a large defense industry is the billions of dollars the US gives them to subsidize it. Yet somehow those billions are never at risk when they do shady things like this.

I could probably dig up a half dozen examples of this; I try not to pay attention to politics, but I am old and every time I hear this story again I figure we couldn't possibly have any secrets left for the Israelis to sell to China.

Xiong'an is literally backed by Xi's and it's going to be the 2nd capital city of China according to the plan. This comment meant to be a link for some insight on what the Chinese government's thinking on city planning. Shenzhen's title "Frontier Demonstration Area of Socialism" gives some hints for the upcoming political atmosphere as well.

What I don't understand is: Why would someone downvote this comment?! It's nothing controversial and informative.

Also, my comment on William Gibson's novel has been downvoted. I know using Hacker News for political and ideological battles are not welcomed, and I actively avoid doing it. I think the reason of being downvoted is mentioning "unrestricted growth under hypercapitalism"... But I was literally talking about the plot of a Sci-Fi novel and comparing it with China, I even added that "it's a pretty common cyberpunk theme", not meant to attack any real entity.

Anyway, feel free to downvote, but I'd love to hear some feedback and comments from HN readers if someone believes a comment is inappropriate.
