Finding a critical thinking best friend from the gender you are attracted to really helps here. Not being offended to harsh criticism will be the hardest part but it is definitely worth it. As you can imagine, this requires blind trust towards that friend, which is fine. Such friends will be responsible for your sanity check, especially if they are not afraid of telling you "Dude, WTF?" when you are at your worst. Making yourself lovable to others (not artificially) is a good motivator to accept the fact that you can love yourself less and still survive.
This is true. I write about the systems that I have in place for myself, and most rely on my being an extremely experienced programmer.
> This article doesn't reflect my experience in academia...

Nor mine (also in a different field and country). It does, though, reflect how some academics, especially younger ones, seem to view academia: as a politicized, factionalized battle of personalities. More than once I've had a junior colleague who perceived himself or herself to be a victim of such a battle when in fact the reason for their failure to get a contract renewal, promotion, tenure, or lighter teaching load was mere bureaucratic inflexibility or budgetary constraints and had nothing to do with them personally. The way the blogger hedges his account—“to my best guess,” “probably,” “it appears”—suggests to me that he might have been reading too much into his situation as well.
I see a lot phrases like "studies show that" these days. Somehow in our science-based, sophisticated society everybody likes to throw studies at each other to prove their own narrative. But I don't understand them. I am not that statistical illiterate, I know the difference of mean, mode and median and stdev (and when to use what). When I dig deeper into one study I'll find hypothesis testing methods like p-values, r^2 and whatever ("our hypothesis was proven because p > 0.9"). But here my knowledge ends. If p>0.9 is that good? or did they just tune the data to get that high p-values? or is the whole method garbage and the study could not get replicated with the same p value?
And I want to know how to cheat with statistics, because since these studies are made by people, whom might get paid to prove a certain point (e.g. "My institute gets paid by Mars, hence I'll downplay the effects on health of sugar in daily nutrition and amplify the positives effects of <some chemical found in chocolate>"). or they just want to show significance for their research, because they worked the last 10 years on it and it's "their baby".

>once you have looked into you family's past

I think you are severely underestimating how much time this takes. I've seen people go down this rabbit hole. It can literally consume your entire lifetime. Most people seem to underestimate how many ancestors they have - and that's not even including those that are so far back that there are no records.

Me and my partner are working on actually hacking this to increase love, respeft abd compassion in our relationship.

I am discovering that i can only love her as deeply as i can love myself - what you said about the “getting used to” - i will Forward to her. In a way, we must never get used to each other. And that’s deep work ...

The creator of Vim doesn't know why Ubuntu fails to restart sometimes. That tells you a lot of why people prefer MBP for work and/or Windows.

It is a shame because I think a solid third work OS is very much needed.
Was it Norton?
, yet.
I think that's a pretty unfair assessment. It is likely that the underlying problem was that no Linux distribution had all the packages people needed. You need the latest version of Python, and a bunch of modules, and MySQL, and Nginx, and node.js, and... and that never happened. Debian stable had something from 6 years ago. Debian unstable didn't boot. Every time you got a new machine or new developer, you would have to painstakingly manually install all those packages on top of your OS base image, probably breaking other parts of the OS as you did that.

Docker lets you build all the dependencies once, and then run it anywhere. You can run your container on your Mac in a (managed!) VM. You can send it to Amazon to run on a random EC2 instance that you don't have to manually update. Or you can just run it on your normal server, without affecting anything else on that server.

It isn't about developers wanting to write more code. It's about developers getting annoyed with the difficulty of installing software.

> I mean, what kind of support does a small business with two EC2 Instances or three Office 365 licenses really get? I can’t imagine you get to call someone and get in-depth technical help for free.

AWS frequently will communicate detailed, specific technical workarounds and instructions via email on the free support plan. I’ve reached out to GCP support and the best I’ve ever received was a link to a generic support document.

AWS does give 1-1 support to smaller clients, and you can also pay extra to get actual phone help. The OP may or may not have had direct experience with this but his criticisms ring true with mine.
A society where fathers are used to and expected to participate more actively in child raring will also care more about their children IMHO. Such a society is hard to build without gender equality and independence for women.

I don’t see low divorce numbers as a direct goal. I view happy families as the goal. Lower divorce numbers will follow from that.

If you optimize for low divorce numbers you simply force women to stay in unhappy marriages.

You seem to advocate a sort of 1950s style family life. I don’t think that is good for anyone.
Keep it simple. Beckett was Irish and wrote in French to force himself to keep it simple and that won him Nobel Prize. You should do the same. Often you have Ideas about how you should write from your native language that will only serve to make you texts sound bad. Usually because you make things way to complicated.
Use simple words, don’t use long enumerations (like this), keep sentences short, if you can leave out the adverbs and use an active voice. That should help you a lot. Then just read and reread the text and change anything in the text that stops you from reading. Bad word choices, unclear meanings and so on. Even if you don’t have native speakers around to proofread, everybody should have problems to understand badly written text.
Repeat once or twice and your text should not suck.
Why use two languages with similar semantics when you can use one with nearly identical semantics? It might make sense for Emacs Lisp because there are things you’d do differently in a modern Lisp (Guile Emacs sounds great to me), but Clojure is already modern.

Ask HN: Zero Knowledge Login?
Zero Knowledge auth

Concept:

The password is hashed on client side with an expensive hash with wide output length, e.g. 512bit.
That hash and the username are sent to the server.
Server has stored the username and a (salted) version of it, encrypted with said hash as key.
If decryption output matches username auth is granted.
Optional: Decryption of an intermediate key for encryped user data.
(Intermediate since you may want to change it without re-encrypting actual data)

This way the server has zero knowledge of the password or the hash.
(And technically the actual encryption is a bit safer against weak client passwords, but lets not go there...)

What is the fundamental flaw with that concept?

It seems trivial, safe, yet is not or only marginally used.
Therefor there´s probably a major flaw in it i´m not yet aware of...

A Better Way to Learn Test-Driven Development
This is absolutely entrapment. Once someone someone has said no once, it becomes badgering. Contractors are not paid like most people. Often, they have to gain the favor of their customer to make sure they are paid on time, or at all.

"Entrapment is a defense to criminal charges, and it's based on interaction between police officers and the defendant prior to (or during) the alleged crime. A typical entrapment scenario arises when law enforcement officers use coercion and other overbearing tactics to induce someone to commit a crime."
I'm hoping the handshake dies off.
> Better for everyone long term

I don't know about that. As someone who has worked for some of the big companies, there's a ton of efficiency gains in being able to use a common set of internal tools and software that these companies have and while the public clouds have externalized a lot of those internal tools, they haven't externalized all of them yet nor would you benefit from the common set of software reuse.
Why can't someone slap the XNU api onto Linux and create a runtime system that permits Apple's UX frameworks/libraries to be used by Linux developers (who will create more performant apps that do incredible things while maintaining the look-and-feel of the Macs that we once loved)? As long as we're booting Linux on machines bought at their local mall outlet or online store, I don't see the legal problem. Maybe a new generation of managers at Apple would even cooperate with such a Linux distribution (something like A/UX of yesteryear)?
Thanks. I made something similar a while ago myself called Shoutium, basically the same thing. More simpler this time around tho. Users are always difficult to get, this too will probably also fizzle out.
It may well be that the human visual system is better for most tasks, but then that is what matters, which system is better for the task. The presence of an explanation doesn't matter. Neither system comes with an explanation.

On the other hand, if you place Magnus Carlsen against AlphaZero in a game of chess, I will bet on AlphaZero. If however you reduce the complexity of AlphaZero down to a level that it can produce an explanation I can understand, I would instead bet on Magnus Carlsen.

Of course we should care about the quality of AI systems, but chasing a human understandable explanation is just the wrong way to go about it, since it in many cases necessarily limits quality of the decisions.

I'm not involved in the drug discovery process, but I can imagine that manufacturers would be interested in helping to use AI to deal with the funnel much more effectively to get to those ~5 molecules much more efficiently.

You're still left with double-blind trials and having to get large sample groups to try those molecules though.

And it's for that reason that drug discovery is always likely to be quite slow, complex and expensive - the efficiency gains will be pushed towards the top of the funnel to make new ideas reasonable to explore, I would imagine.

My point was that when you're not dealing with human physiology and instead dealing with problems that are more tractable through AI - i.e. using regression to tune algorithms through patterns in data - you are going to get quicker and more impactful returns without the same complexity.

And - critically - it's OK to often trust the AI solution you have without understanding causality. If you later find it's doing something odd that is undesirable, you can use that data to help tune the algorithm again without having to understand the causal relationship.

Put another way, you can teach an AI to get better without necessarily understanding the subject completely yourself.

I think there should be a protocol in browsers where input password fields are hashed along with a blinding factor that comes from servers.

I think that protocol would solve lots of basic problems in password security.
But the most important thing is that it would serve as a proof that the server is not saving your password in plain text, because the plain text never gets there, only it's hash.
Twitter bans people for mere words, so there's that.
The author make it sound like his first issue was some super-subtle academic social detail.

It seems to me that life in most forms are self-centered by nature and necessity, and it takes conscious effort to develop empathy for others.

Human society might be the worst (and best perhaps!) in terms of sacrificing the whole world to glorify the self, or vice versa.

Motherhood (or parenthood) is a clear exception, dedicating oneself for another - but it could be argued that is also in "self" interest, a larger sense of self over generations.

Altruism might be the antidote to narcissism. Paying attention and caring for others as one would for the self. I think it's also about having a larger sense of self, encompassing the whole of creation.
> Nobody ever did a full A/B study on that, it would require damaging many babies for rest of their lives. We're over Mengele's approach for quite some time and time machine isn't a thing yet.

It doesn't have to be interventional study.

> But there are tons of stories that babies neglected/suffering perform much worse for rest of their lives. Deep mental issues, lower IQ etc. Some proof might be stories I read from some specifically cruel communist Romania orphanage, where children were neglected, often caged or chained. Something like 90% of them struggled significantly in the society in their later lives.

Children being caged and chained having long lasting consequences is so far from from the original claim that first 3 years of our lives are most forming on our deeper personalities. It appears there is no reason to consider that claim true.
Get yourself diagnosed by a mental health professional if you don't just mean "egotistical" or "self-absorbed". You might be able to fix egotism and self-absorption. You won't be able to fix actual narcissism for yourself.

Good luck!
