The "old boys" clubs you mentioned don't exist just for the sake of gaining power. The network just comes naturally as a side-effect of repeated contact with trustworthy people with similar altruistic goals.

For example, a stated goal of Freemasonry is "to make good men better." The stated motto of Rotary is "service above self" (and btw, Rotary accepts both men and women). Both organizations have a significant community service aspect, and if you showed zero interest in service and expressed desire to join solely for personal gain, you'd likely get rejected. Likewise with Lions Clubs.

Can't comment on golf clubs since I have zero experience with them.
Sorry for off topic, but is there any way, how to setup wireguard (or any VPN) to be used for just single app (lets say Firefox) and not system wide on macOS?
Something similar to https://github.com/darkk/redsocks with ssh and setting up proxy in Firefox?

Hyped industry, sort of hyped name, wasting money on FB ads. It seems like they were “hacking” their way to quick success instead of focusing on delivering a proper product - exactly like Paul Graham described in his recent essay http://www.paulgraham.com/lesson.html

Same. I have been using it for a few months now, both as a user and a contributor (of times).

It has not let me down once, and genuinely makes YouTube tolerable again
Interesting. It's not an attitude I've ever seen in the Boston area but salaries aren't generally at Bay Area levels either. (And although metro Boston/Cambridge housing has gone up quite a bit, the area as a whole is quite a bit more affordable than the Bay Area.)
Is there any that can auto-categorize bookmarks without them uploading to their online service?
I didn't. I briefly checked it out while researching new scalable databases but Fauna looked so young so I didn't dig deeper so I cannot make a comparison.
I would be very careful about making that large a generalization (that all else being equal, women would prefer to stay home over working).

Childcare is mind numbing work, especially with young kids. Sure, some women (and men) would prefer that, but a LOT of women prefer office work over raising children.

"why not to enjoy life instead of spending 50-60 hours at the office?" is really selling short how much work raising young kids is. It is NOT enjoying life to stay home with toddlers. Maybe once they start school and you get hours to yourself, but before that it is way more time consuming than working at an office.

I know, I have done both. I took long paternity leaves to care for both of my kids, and while I love being able to bond with the kids, I was so happy to be able to go back to work. The freedom I have at the office compared to being home with the kids was night and day. Just being able to go to the bathroom when I need to, to get food when I want..... young kids are non-stop work.

I LOVE being a dad, but the weekends are way more stressful than the weekdays. Wrangling kids is way harder than programming computers.
I knew someone would bring up Neuromancer and honestly I'm with the GP here. I find Gibson highly overrated. I find Neuromncer in particular extremely overrated. It's not bad. It's just nothing exceptional as a piece of writing.

Now I read it many years after it came out so I suspect a lot of the fawning comes from nostalgia and those who happened to be the right age when it came out to be blown away by his ideas.

There GP had it right though. Cyberpunk was a flash inn there pan and a lot less interesting once you realize it was a thinly veiled expression of xenophobia about the Japanese.

Some works are exceptional because their exceptional. Others are viewed as such because they're pioneering and while credit is due for Novell ideas often the only thing holding that up later is nostalgia over what's really a pedestrian work of fiction.
I think this is a really strong comment. The only observation I'll make is that making the simple base case for VPNs easy is much more important than making dynamically routed VPNs straightforward.

More people should be using VPN-like-tunnels as an access solution, but don't, because every VPN other than WireGuard builds in extra complexity to support use cases they don't have. What the industry desperately needed was a trustworthy VPN that was as simple to set up as SSH, and that's effectively what WireGuard is.

I agree preemptively: if your VPN is complex enough that you're running OSPF for it, for now, you should probably stick with IPsec, even though commercial IPsec implementations aren't trustworthy. But WireGuard will accommodate complex VPNs long before IPsec or OpenVPN get as simple for the straightforward "get access to staging Postgres" use case as WireGuard is.
As the article notes, the reason is regulation and women entering the workforce.

Honestly I don’t see a problem. We as a society have decided that we would rather be 100% safe rather than accept risk for lower cost, so we enforce strict ratios on children to caretaker ratios, license people, make in-home sprinklers mandatory, etc. $16k per child per year in Massachusetts is that cost.

For what it’s worth, none of my friends put infants in daycare due to the cost. They either got foreign au pairs or hired someone under the table for cash (very common in immigrant communities)
Still empty and meaningless and I still feel irritated, and a little sick. I wonder if anyone actually likes to be spoken to in such a way.
That’s just a manifestation of the issue and not necessarily the only symptom. Dawson used it to explicitly illustrate the wbem size to slowdown effect.

The reason I’m hating on developers that use WMI when alternatives are available is because WMI is dog slow and everyone that does low-level Windows development knows it.
Yes, but also it's not like having maternal instinct wouldn't make this decision easier for you.

And keep in mind, statistics say than one of the divorce factors is husband making less than wife. From her perspective: this isn't sexy at all.
No p2p-distributed portable across all browsers with ability to do semantic topology tagging integrated with webarchive and some translation service with ability secure parts of subgraphs and forkshare other parts with all proper layers views of visualization - from fast tag and to publish and research. With all these rdf. Crdts, type theory of patching, fuzzy vertex merges, deduplication, collective intilligence and graph marketplace. And dozen of other things. When you, the developer, will write one for me? You do not earn on giant huge market of knowledge consumption and digestion. Until than, internet is useless place without new T B Lee and Ted Nelson. I cannot live in the world without such bookmark manager. Please save me from self destruction.
That is such a great point.

From all other stuff I was reading and watching, I had that idea about a story. Not quite like "The Matrix" but something about people trapped in virtual world. I was also getting myself to finally read William Gibson, this year I got to read "Neuromancer". That was eye opening thing, I had to check twice when that book was released.
They don't have to, but they're commonly understood to refer to memory addresses, which, on most ISAs, are locations of octets.

Even if the ISA only allows word- or dword-aligned loads from memory, the addresses still typically enumerate bytes, not words or dwords.

Based on a quick summary of the MCS-51 that I googled up, it looks like its memory addressing scheme still assigns addresses to bytes, and has special operations that allow you to further specify a bit offset within that memory address.
I like the quote. :)

It is money and time, while money is no problem, the time is somewhat important to me.
> I don't think we should be striving to turn the entire Earth into Kowloon.

Oh of course not, that's an absolutely extreme example.

Yes, advanced societies tend to have a decrease in birth rates. Yet, they still keep getting denser, as people move to cities. Density, if done thoughtfully, can lead to increased economic output, better health, better environmental outcomes, less traffic (holding population constant, anyways), etc.
I just finished "Rewired: the Post Cyberpunk Anthology" which has some commentary mixed in about this issue. The editors' view seems to be in part that Gibson's work was influential precisely because of the reaction it got.

Do we WANT to live in a post government mega corporate future where everyone has mirror shades? The folks who got to thinking about that when Gibson was telling us about that future came up with some great ideas.

Gibson's modern work still feels good to me but it feels more like fiction than science fiction because we've crept into his future.
And if the only fast video sharing site is teeming with these kind of videos? What would a sane man do?
This may be somewhat off-topic, but I'm often surprised that leftist policies like the article advocates are often proposed at a national level? Why is this? Why not propose a state-sponsored child-care system in a leftist state - California, Washington, Massachusetts, etc. I'm not trying to start a war here, simply genuinely interested why people on the left push national social programs versus propose them in very wealthy left-leaning states?
I'm not sure who you're quoting but it's not me. Easiest way to get a more detailed explanation is to read the linked technical analysis. The idea is to obfuscate and make detection harder by not-placing the actual final payload on the filesystem. Staging more-malicious things through things that look less-malicious is pretty much what makes malware mal.
wait, are you saying that staying at home with the kids is not work?!
It is arguably a harder job than most white collar jobs out there:

I'm glad the population is mind-bogglingly large so I don't feel obligated to have kids. I can save a lot of money and enjoy peace & quiet while I get better at skateboarding and science and playing video games. Plus, no wife. I never have to do things I don't want to. I never have to please anybody. It rocks.
Another "win" in the column of me buying a condo in Montreal...
I'm curious about the other side of the coin: Parents who would like to stay at home and provide care to their own children, but who feel as if they cannot because of financial constraints. Does this program do anything to help them?
Ask HN: Why so few posts about blockchain in HN?
We've seen a lot of s*tty blockchain project, many scams, few projects are up and running and disrupting their industry yet...
Still this an important "new" technology, supported by Alibaba, IBM, a16z and many other innovators, companies, startup, investors...
And quite never any post about blockchain tech and project in the front pages of HN...
Why ?
B would stretch me professionally.

Unfortunately, they will not match the current compensation. We talked about it, everyone get's paid equal at that company. The 3000 monthly is fixed. :/
This is actually quite interesting, because the timeline for the massive inflation in the US during 1980s (which was solved by Volcker, RIP) roughly lines up with the upswing in labor participation rate among women: https://i0.wp.com/www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/2017/...

Of course correlation =/= causation, but perhaps it was one of the contributing factors to the 10+% inflation rates of the late 70s early 80s.
Matrix and Signal aren't comparable from a security perspective. Because Matrix is a protocol rather than a silo, many (most?) of its implementations don't even support E2E, and because Matrix has its roots in an ecosystem where E2E was a nonstandard add-on, Matrix will never be as safe as Wire or Signal.
I totally agree. I work from home programming so my dad office and my programming office is the same place. Taking conference calls and browsing HN is way easier than wrangling 3 kids 5 and younger.
Taste is intensely personal, and everyone gets their own.

Impact on the genre and on culture in general, however, is an more objective thing, and by that measure, Gibson is a giant.

> I never understood why Gibson has been written about so much when his output is so little.

As a huge science fiction nerd, I get impatient for new mind candy, too. But I far prefer a few stellar novels to a stream of forgettable pap, and by that measure, Gibson also over-performs.

You don't have to trust, you can verify. This has been proven in court: https://signal.org/bigbrother/eastern-virginia-grand-jury/
> Platform package managers like maven have been far more successful because they provide a much better user experience, and frankly I suspect this is if anything because they're so thoroughly isolated from the platform package manager.

This is just wrong. Package managements support simple models by design so you don't end up with a mess of conflicting and potentially insecure dependencies in deployment environments.

Use maven in your build pipeline, fine, but distribute a minimal package using tarball/RPM/APT/etc. so that only the minimal runtime dependencies install on the deployment target. In fact, I built my first RPM using the maven rpm plugin. It takes just minutes to set up and use.
Apart from the announcements highlighted above, if you want a little bit more color and my take on the community, marketing vs. reality, and some of the tech-related controversy I saw, feel free to check out my notes on the conference here - https://blog.kasten.io/posts/our-top-highlights-from-kubecon...
Not sure what you mean by "boilerplate for thunks". You write thunks the same way you always have.

And yes, `createSlice` explicitly supports responding to actions that were defined elsewhere in the app, using the `extraReducers` argument:

https://redux-toolkit.js.org/api/createSlice#extrareducers

Although... are you saying that you want one reducer function to handle many different actions in one slice? Just define the reducer outside the slice itself, and pass it as the handler for each action:

createSlice({
name: "someSlice",
initialState,
reducers: {
action1: someCaseReducer,
action2: someCaseReducer,
}
})

Did something similar in my own app recently at work, where multiple slices all needed to handle loading data similarly. So, I wrote a couple generic reducers, and passed them in to each of the slices.

Python Memory and Multiprocessing
I'm the author of a schema management tool, Skeema [1], designed to solve this problem for MySQL and MariaDB.

There are a number of other existing tools that can compare/diff schemas on 2 live databases, but Skeema is designed to also actually manage your database structure through a declarative repo of CREATE statements. It works at any scale (natively supports sharding and external OSC tools) and is trusted by several large users, including GitHub [2] and Twilio SendGrid [3].

Things like this are a good answer to when people question why internet centralization and walled gardens matter. If these things were hosted across thousands of servers, federated, or under a license that made them able to be copied, there would be no issue. This is only an issue in the first place because people posted content in a place and manner that made them give up ownership to it. One day, perhaps decades from now, Facebook is going to face the same problem. Twitter would, too, if it wasn't being archived by the Library of Congress.
A Critical Reading list on Tech
The fancy crypto is what allows them not to (effectively) keep those logs in the first place. If you build this feature without the fancy crypto, then even if you say you're not logging this stuff, you (effectively) are, because your system depends on durable access to that metadata in order to function. This is, for instance, the major security difference between Signal and Wire.

One strong indication you have that Signal isn't logging this stuff is that they had to wait until they were able to advance the state of the art in anonymous credentials in order to implement group access control at all.
There is a link pointing to https://journals.aps.org/pr/abstract/10.1103/PhysRev.135.B10.... Some quick Googling shows quantum gravity being referred to as Feynman-Weinberg gravity, so both must have contributed parts of the theory.

Also, can I please ask you to tone down the god-moding if you want to have a disagreement? "passive aggressive faux concern", "bile", what's all that about? Why do you think you have an insight to my state of mind and emotions after reading a comment I made on the internet? This is just frustrating. Is that how you want the internet to be, really? A bunch of people assuming each other are either assholes or idiots, and treating each other accordingly?
Cyberpunk was a flash inn there pan

I disagree. Cyberpunk is now one of the principal, default sci-fi tropes.
Jaguar increases I-Pace range with update after one-make race series
Cyberpunk doesn’t feel so novel anymore because we’re quite literally living in a Cyberpunk dystopia. We don’t just notice it in the same way that fish don’t notice it’s wet.

As for Gibson’s Neuromancer aesthetic, it’s been strip-mined and recycled so thoroughly that it no longer has the shock of the new.

As a similar example, the bullet-time effects used in the Matrix (which itself owes a huge debt to Gibson) were so different, they went from jaw-dropping to cliche almost immediately through overuse.
50k items seems actually quite small. Front loading data can make your app look a lot snappier at the cost of a slightly longer load time. It may be worth it in many situations.
One of the problems is that any two people likely disagree on what “categorized” means. Tags? Hierarchy? Tag hierarchy? What defines a hierarchy? Etc etc.
Sometimes I think childcare isn't expensive at all. There are these creatures I've nearly sacrificed my sanity for during their infant years, maybe got diminished mental capacity due to lack of sleep, given blood, sweat, tears, would risk life and limb for them...and here I go giving a total stranger $20/hour to (hopefully) do that in my stead for a short while.
>I don't know where you're getting the song being about implausible excuse from the caller

GP is saying it's an implausible excuse from the callee.
Nope. Still getting by on my 2012 Macbook Pro. So far it's still doing everything I need it to do.
Why are we so bad at predicting what will happen to us in the future?
This doesn't make economic sense.... 'doubling supply' is what economic growth is.... producing more should be balanced out with people consuming more, which is what a healthy economy does.

This is like arguing that the invention of the assembly line caused inflation because you could produce too much.

You contradict yourself by saying 'double supply' and 'inflationary effects'... increasing supply of a commodity (in this case labor) should DECREASE inflation, not increase it.
Yes that is what I mean with semantic differences.

I watched a couple of KotlinConf talks, it appears that JetBrains wants to be the next Borland (Kotlin == Turbo Pascal), using the JVM and helped by Android to bootstrap their own eco-system.

So even with multiple platform Kotlin there is only so much that you can use from each platform when deciding to go big like that.

I don't see it working and think if they want to survive they should focus on the KVM (aka Android).

Child care is likely expensive for at least two reasons:

- Child care is a superior good (in the economics sense). As we get richer, we almost certainly spend more of our money on it, as we do in other areas that are substantially driven by signalling (see health care, education).

- It is absurdly regulated and there is nothing close to a free market. My family participates in a child care sharing arrangement that results in several families regularly breaking the law. That is because it is illegal to watch more than 4 children (if at least one of them is not yours) without state licensing.
I actually just wrote about this lol

My general thoughts are that 90% of people don’t want to work - so yea none of us would if we didn’t have to.

One thing that’s always astonishing to me is that it’s not the the poor are necessarily getting poorer... it’s that we want to give more resources to our kids. You can have 10 kids on a salary of $120k a year, you just have to live on rice and thrift.
I am not OP but I definitely have been in similar circumstances where an algorithm became slightly more complex when adding a hash map to cover performance issues with a list.

A trivial example, I recall about 1 month ago calling it out on a Javascript code review where someone was doing a `someList.find(x => x === "something")` inside a loop creating O(n^2) complexity. Rather than change the entire codebase wherever `someList` is used into a new type it is often easier just to suggest we build a Set (linear on length of `someList`) before the loop and use that for lookups within the loop (constant).

Of course, I am talking about circumstances clearly outside of your original model of OPs description. I am tracking more things (the new Set). However, I realize that to give the full context as to why the type of `someList` from my trivial example _couldn't_ be changed easily and why creating a new Set was the most prudent option would require a comment even longer than this essay. So I give OP the benefit of the doubt that he was in a similar situation where using the hashmap everywhere was either difficult or impossible.
Evaluating claims of increased energy expenditure during a ketogenic diet
I was half joking.

I read an article from dollar shave club a while ago on the subject. Apparently some men do it. Just a warning, their articles are closer to click bait than to journalism.

Marx and Engels pointed out that all labor is alienating. Childcare is work in many senses, and under certain conditions, it can be as alienating as wage labor. But, in general terms which don't capture all the specifics, it isn't alienating in the sense that you don't own the surpluses - typically, we are invested in our children without concern for the greater economic utility associated (or not associated) with them.

I'm a man. I find my job alienating but the work I do as a dad non-alienating. If someone gave me my salary for free, I'd take complete delight in parenting full time.
I'm sure it's more complex than this, and of course equal opportunities for everyone is good, but yes I think it hurt.

More people going to university -> Demand outgrows supply, universities can charge more and spend more money on appealing things. More student debt.

More workers -> More supply than demand, companies can pay less.

Each worker needs a vehicle. More expenses.

Both parents working, need to pay someone else to take care of kids. More expenses.

More debt/expenses, less pay.
