I'd actually suggest you consider telling your wife for a few reasons:

1) It's really unfair to go on letting her believe an untruth. She should know the reason you have not been intimate with her. She may even be relieved to know that what she thought was the issue, her getting old which is something that she can't change, wasn't actually the issue and the real issue can be changed.
2) You have been hiding this habit for 15 years, surely this will not be a complete surprise to your wife.
3) The most important reason is that once your wife is aware of your struggle she will be a strong motivation to quit and potentially even a supportive person who you can be vulnerable with (as opposed to strangers on HN).

It might help to picture yourself five years from now. If you don't quit (the trend for the past 15 years) then your relationship with your wife will only have become worse, your wife will continue to believe that she is undesirable, you will continue to have this part of your life that you are scared to share with your family, etc. If you come clean with her then you will (likely) be forced to change and hopefully your relationship is improved and you no longer have this baggage in your life. If she loves you (which it sounds like she does) she will probably be more understanding than you picture in your head.

To share my (religious) experience, I struggled with porn for several years and became extremely frustrated because I felt like I became a slave to the urge, no matter what I tried I couldn't seem to quit. Eventually, in my frustration, I prayed to God and begged for help to break the habit and in that moment I got a calm feeling and with time I felt that my prayer was answered. The addiction didn't go away, but I seemed to find just enough self control/motivation/discipline/whatever to quit cold turkey. I know religion isn't usually a well-received remedy, and it's not required in order to quit porn, this was just my experience.

I'd be open to any contrary numbers on this, but my expectation has been that most mobos pulled out of service, especially by high-volume operators like the AWS datacenters, are just junked, not repaired or refurbished.

GC'd langs like golang, crystal, nim, etc. would probably be just as effective in practice, while remaining more accessible to business app developers.
Yeah, I hope so too.

But unlike the downvoters (including you?) I'm not willing to throw freedom of speech, and freedom of the press, and the right to know the past all out the window for this.

This is book-burning on a massive scale. When you retire and write your memoirs you will not be allowed to put in true facts that you can prove.

If the right to be forgotten is indeed a right, then that story you wrote about "you show me yours I'll show you mine" justifies busting in to the home of everyone who bought your book in order to put in on the bonfire. It's as if your life is under a national security gag order, and you'll never be allowed to tell what you did not just in the CIA, but anywhere with anyone.

> Because that's a very real thing that happens to a large number of people who have made enemies through ex-lovers, jilted coworkers, and just garden variety online trolls that maybe didn't take kindly to a random post you made online somewhere.

There are already laws against the actions I think you're implying here.

> even very mature, confident people find it hard to handle emotionally.

One of the defining qualities of being "mature" and "confident" is to be able to fade out the emotional components and concentrate on the substance. This is the essential quality that seperates children from adults.

If you are fazed by some comments of random people on the internet then you are neither "mature" nor "confident". You either got to grow up or you will have a hard time.

Show HN: I made explorable +38M flights in a 3D visualization
Hi HN,

Since I was a kid, I have always been fascinated by the flight display screens at the airport wondering where I can fly direct if I had an open ticket

There are more than 38 million commercial flights per year departing from +3,200 airports and served by +580 airlines! So much data that can be summarized and made accessible to everyone in an easy and convenient interface.

Today, I’m releasing Direct flights, a tool to explore all non-stop flights from any airport:
https://direct-flights.com/

# How it's made?

The frontend is built on React - using a server-side rendering on NodeJS for SEO purposes. The backend is built in Python. The map is rendered with HTML5 Canvas (TopoJSON map with d3-geo) while interactions with the zoom are managed with SVG (with d3-geo-zoom).

# Geeky and unique features

• Dynamic social preview card: When you share a link on social media, it automatically generates a thumbnail by taking a screenshot (using headless chrome) of the visualization with live data.

• Showing flight routes on a 3D globe: Representing the earth as a 3D globe made more sense to visualize realistic flight routes instead of a distorted flat map (where you wonder why the pilot is taking a "long route” over the North Pole to cross the Atlantic...).

• Select the closest airport to your cursor: It's very hard to nail the right airport on a map when there’s a cluster of items (especially for multi-airports areas like SF Bay Area). Direct Flights computes a Voronoi diagram to have larger clickable areas.

# Business model

Direct Flights can be integrated as a B2B white label solution for airlines and airports so that passengers can discover new destinations in a more visual manner (Would love to discuss with anyone connected in this ecosystem). Moreover, there's a B2C aspect, where we get an affiliate commission for ticket sales through kiwi.com

I look forward to reading your comments and questions!
I met my wife on Bumble. :) Anecdata!
Sorry you felt being abused or quitting were the only options. Strikes me as a false dichotomy, but, hey, don't know the particulars of your unique situation. But for others out there: your skill are highly valuable, others will pay for them, your advisor needs people with your skills, you have leverage. At least, try speaking up for yourself. Hell, organize.

Most people unfortunately stick with the default investments their employers choose. So funds will still have a big vote share even if a large number of concerned people switch, however it is a signal to them.
Does any viable open-source option exist that could be self-hosted?
Show HN: A wiki to slay data jargon
Would you consider writing this up? Sounds fascinating.
Saying it was a freudian type is sort of a jab at him anyways..
It's completely reasonable for a customer to ask for my time logs, it happens all the time. They often want to just understand how a given invoice is tied to work that was completed.

However, consultants do work that isn't typing. I sit and think about problems, I talk with colleagues, clients, do research. Few of those include time spent typing.

Hard pass
Hi HN!
The world of data is unique, complex and ever-changing. And full of jargon. That makes it challenging for someone who’s starting out in the data universe.

Our team started an internal initiative to serve as a knowledge base for data teams and professionals (aka the humans of data) everywhere—explaining topics in the data universe in the simplest possible manner. The goal was to make learning about the data universe fun and easy.

And that’s how The Data Wiki was born! (Shout out to the folks at Gitbook for building the incredible tool that hosts the wiki.)
IIRC the degrees are awarded by the Dominican University of California, not by Make School.

Your comment about 'any other random university' just highlights the time and effort required to build up name recognition and a reputation.

Any new institution, regardless of merit, would face the same challenge, unless it had a famous name attached (e.g. Gates, Musk, Grove).

Negative feedback can fall into two categories:

* constructive - which are polite and informative

* deconstructive - which are basically just someone being an arsehole.

The former stuff can be great at time but the examples being discussed fall firmly in the latter category.
You're claiming that a professional magician is a bad scientist? He's an entertainer and not a trained scientist.

Here's a statement from Randi about the dog ESP:

“I over-stated my case for doubting the reality of dog ESP based on the small amount of data I obtained,” he wrote. “It was rash and improper of me to do so. I apologise sincerely.”[1]

Sounds like he's willing to revisit his initial claims. Has there been further evidence of dog esp that you're aware of?

People expressing different perspectives and influencing decisions isn't an absolute good. It certainly can be positive and desireable in many situations. In others it can be utterly destructive, such as the the anti-vax movement or climate change skeptics.
So you’re saying that now “voting with your money” doesn’t make any sense? But wasn’t that the standard liberal answer to “socialist strikes”? /s

> 3. Consultant: 60+ hour days are the norm

Dang, I thought 12 hour days were bad.
I think they normally would, but I’m pretty young (27) so they don’t assume I have that. The HR folks who set this up are typically checking boxes and don’t realize equivalencies.

My usual tactic is to mention the patents and send some of my work and they reconsider.

In either case, my general point was that the 5x salary bump is pretty much reserved for an artificially set subset of people.

The other thing some will do is just not say anything, and wait for you to use your one daily "extend", to show her you're really interested in her and not just right-swiping everyone.
I believe the way Google Docs works is that if you share something publicly, people show up as "Anonymous Animal" and that's about the limit of what you can learn about them, unless they are on the same G Suite account with you.

Although I think you might have the option to "reveal your Google Account" to other users/viewers of the shared document.
If by "unaware" you mean "clearly demonstrated awareness by describing the source and it's location" then yes, I was "unaware"

Question: do you find value in defining words to be the opposite of their common usage?

Because my post demonstrates clear awareness of the situation and only describes it in a meta sense.

Democratising Education in the Digital Age
Nobody would be outraged because the app would fail and nobody would be using or talking about it. We’re only talking about Bumble because their approach works in some sense.
You are correct. And the cause is that it costs money to design good interfaces. Most people don't understand the value of craftsmanship, and are not willing to pay for it.

You don't get what you don't pay for.
When we were doing bat surveys most nights, after we caught the first few bats, we would watch later ones actively avoiding the mist nets we'd set up as the ones we caught called both from the nets and from the bags we had them in. It was also known at the time we were doing our work bats communicate feeding areas to each other and are extremely vocal in their hibernacula and roosting sites.
One simple technique a dating website could use to “disrupt” this market, without doing the only-women-can-contact thing, would be just to disallow men (or anyone) from sending messages with the same content as any message that person has sent previously.
I tried eHarmony for a little while. I finally gave it up because 1) it wasn't free and 2) most of the women were religious, so I got almost no dates on there. I've gotten most of my dates in the last year from CMB; that one doesn't attract as many religious people for some reason.
Hey! I'm a self taught programmer and I resemble that remark.

I think that you're painting with a little too broad a brush, the inverse is true too, I've seen way too much blind application of GoF patterns by professional engineers.

There's been >2 hyperthreads in other server CPUs before. IBM and Sun/Oracle now or in the recent past have sold systems with 4-8 way threading. Of course, these would be niche systems even without lots of threads per core, so one's definition of a "common" workload would need to be adjusted accordingly. My experience was that they worked really well for big databases and Java app servers, less well for other uses.
It sounds like the person you responded to corrected it themselves.
Yeah I agree. This is another example of our own biases/errors being injected to the data, thus poisoning any models we try to build with it. On the surface it seems unlikely there's much of a way to compensate for that, and if there was, it would probably have to be tailored to every specific type of bias/error.

There's a reason that the majority of student loan debt in the US is from for profit colleges [1].

They are predatory, ill-regulated, and unstable. ITT Tech, WGU, and those all algorithmicly target audiences that are likely to get approved for Federal student loans: veterans, single-mothers, first-in-family to go to college. They get them approved for these loans and the funds go directly to the school whether they graduate or not. There's a very interesting chapter on this in the book "Weapons of Math Destruction." Don't believe their non-sense ads about being the future of education, the incentives just don't align. Go to local community or state public schools if private is not affordable. Either way, both public and private are not-for-profit.

There are also issues with the JS examples.

For example:

"""

Remove all occurrences of string w from string s1, and store the result in s2.

var s2 = s1.replace(w, '');

"""

Since w is a string, this will only replace the first occurrence, not all occurrences.
Given how most men just swipe right 100% of the time to find the women who swiped right on them, I’m surprised there isn’t a dating app that has just admitted to this and made the matching unilateral: men would be assumed to be okay with matching any woman, whereas women would have to swipe right on a dude to “match.” Then either party could contact. It’s sort of like Bumble’s attitude, just moved one step forward in the process.
They know what they're doing, and they don't care that it's wrong.
I don't believe this to be a conscious decision (rather the result of trying to maximize ones/ones family's prosperity) and I believe plenty of non-boomers act in the same way. I suspect pillaging the environment is structural to both our survival instincts and inherited culture.

I think the main differentiator is whether you pay for the dating site or not... These sites are all geared towards generating money from accounts. When you're operating on the free side, profiles are fake and you get limited interactions with people (and bots) just enough to keep you engaged. When you pay, it's still not great in terms of matchmaking and functionality, and most of the features now are meant to up-sell you, or to keep you paying monthly. Actually connecting people has really become the last concern of most sites.
If you want your product to be good you have the "obligation" to listen to negative feedback. But you don't have the "obligation" to make a good product. If you don't care about your product you are going to ignore the feedback anyways.

> a person that doesn't even care

This is a misconception. People giving emotially loaded negative feedback actually "care" about your product much more than the average user.

I think this particular rock is about 800m in diameter. That would probably not kill us completely, just be the most catastrophic natural disaster in the history of humanity.

But jokes aside, I think the probability of altering the orbit to hit the earth practically non-existent, especially if you hit it when it is relatively close. You would want to hit it when it is the furthest away from earth to maximize your impact, so something > than 2AU or > than 300,000,000km.
Today, but if the ability to teleport (last I heard we can teleport a single particle half a meter - but not even an atom) gets the needed breakthroughs... If teleportation worked and was safe [insert other considerations that I don't know here] I'd teleport to work instead of hoping for a self driving car. Today it looks like the self driving care will be practical sooner, but who knows how the science and engineering will really advance.

I entered an MS program, where my two advisors told me I could get a PhD in just 3 years, vs 2 years for the MS. I naively thought that sounded good. I didn't realize that my advisor took over 4 years to do it herself. Nor did I realize that she was drastically over-committing herself on time, and she dropped me as a student just 1 year later because she didn't have time. Just a blatantly misleading and false advising process, I wasted 2 years due to that.

The power your advisors wield over you is terrifying in graduate school. You are severely underpaid AND they have you over a barrel.
