Uopeople has in many ways made my life easier, physically i am glad to say that Uopeople has been my final alternative when nothing else felt available enough for me. Im financially relieved knowing that my sholarship will carry me through my educational journey at Uopeople. When i first heard that Tuition-free doesnt mean what i probably thought it meant. It did stress me out abit ,or for little longer as my admission process was pending. I wanted to opt out because even the small amount of registration fee was alot for me. But it became the least of my worries when i attempted to apply for their suggested sholarship,not the first try but the second try i was made known that i can actually rely on Uopeople with access to a scholarship, i can complete what i started. Thus far, ive had a ball of a first semester and i really enjoyed it. The future definitely dont look impossible for me with Uopeople by my side. Thank you.

Tinder is definitely real and used by the majority of young people living in big cities. I am in my late twenties and all my friends, male and female, used it at some point or another.

Whether people use it to find relationships is a different question. I did not use it for that, but some of my friends did... (or tried...)
Do you support accounts with 1 sim?
Agreed. I’m also dubious about the control group who were merely “reminiscing”. Seems ripe for researcher-induced bias.
Maybe this rumor is only half right and it isn't what everyone thinks it will be. Instead of replacing x86, what if it's just Apple adding their ARM chip to the laptop? Basically just take the current MacBook and stick a iPad ARM chip in there. And maybe make the screen a touchscreen too. It would make iOS development much closer to the real thing. And for non-developers they can run iOS apps natively. So you get a Mac that can run both x86 and ARM natively. But if you try to use more iOS (ARM) apps you get really long laptop battery life since it's optimized for that. And x86 is there when you need to run more power hungry applications. Seems like the best of both worlds in a single laptop if they do this.
I have the feeling that between graphics and sound processing there is just a dearth of material about how the underlying mechanisms that drive that portion of computing actually work. At least, I haven't really the magic words to represent "For God sake, what do I have to line up to make this stiff work" yet.

It's front and center of this decades computing goals for me. To that end, I've been looking into things like how X actually works, actually making use of graphics processing hardware, and the like. If anyone has some good reading, I'd love to know.

For storing secrets as environment variables on your local machine I recommend envchain: https://github.com/sorah/envchain

It uses gnome-keyring (linux) or keychain (mac).

Unfortunately you need to install it from source as it's not popular, or known at all, but how about we give it some love and push to include it in package repositories (debian, arch, etc)?
I think they're suitable for different tasks.

I prefer an iPhone myself for consuming the web and social media, but I wouldn't use it for development work, or running anything computationally-intensive.
What is the application stack you are using? Something like Laravel or Symfony (PHP) or Django (Python) would come with auth stuff already and it wouldn't take too much effort to make it API-oriented.

Connect it to something like Stripe, deploy it on e.g. Heroku or so (I personally use AWS Elastic Beanstalk for almost all my projects, mostly because I feel most comfortable there) and you should be almost there.

I have 2 side projects where I'm the solo developer, one runs on Symfony, the invoices are generated, but after they're sent, I need to manually check them (but each invoice is 100-200 US$, so it's ok).

A second project runs on Django and is subscription based, here the invoices are higher in volume but only 5 US$ each. There billing goes via Stripe (among others) and is handled automatically.

> Why would the attractive 25 year olds date 30 year old average men when they can have sex with top men?

They wrote a song about it.

City girls just seem to find out early
How to open doors with just a smile
A rich old man

And she won't have to worry
She'll dress up all in lace and go in style
Late at night a big old house gets lonely
I guess every form of refuge has its price
And it breaks her heart to think her love is
Only given to a man with hands as cold as ice
So she tells him she must go out for the evening
To comfort an old friend who's feeling down
But he knows where she's going as she's leaving
She is headed for the cheating side of town

You can't hide your lying eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lying eyes

On the other side of town a boy is waiting
With fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal
She drives on through the night anticipating
Because he makes her feel the way she used to feel
She rushes to his arms
They fall together
She whispers that it's only for awhile
She swears that soon she'll be coming back forever
She pulls away and leaves him with a smile

You can't hide your lying eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lying eyes

She gets up and pours herself a strong one
And stares out at the stars up in the sky
Another night, it's gonna be a long one
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry
She wonders how it ever got this crazy
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
Did she get tired or did she just get lazy?
She's so far gone she feels just like a fool
My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things
You set it up so well, so carefully
Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things
You're still the same old girl you used to be

You can't hide your lying eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lying eyes
There ain't no way to hide your lying eyes
Honey, you can't hide your lying eyes
Actually I do take issue with your example of grass-fed steak. Not sure why you would think it is not healthy, not even going to debate that. But do not dismiss it thinking the actual grass-feed has no impact. It increases the saturated of the meat of ruminants. If you want to go on a learning trip, look into the research made in the 40s about fattening cattle with saturated vs unsaturated fats.

I think it is a bit meaningless to talk about the merits or demerits of particular ingredients (other than the obviously bad such as rancid fats, pollution by heavy metals, or high in toxins) Humans evolved to eat a varied diet and the more variety of nutrient dense food you have the better off you will be. The main issue with nutrition is how can we teach people to eat better while keeping the production costs down.

I recognize I'm bloody lucky to be able to afford the food I get to eat every week, but just thinking of the resources required to have everyone eat this way is very hard. How sustainable would it be for everyone to eat fresh seafood every weekend or constantly import oranges to northern latitudes? Part of the problem is that people choosing processed food leads to an increasing divide in costs between the processed and the freshly prepared, only due to economies of scale. And it will only keep getting worse. My parents' generation all had fresh milk delivered daily at their homes (relatively affordable even for the middle class), today how many people could afford something like that? It took only a little time when cheaper options appeared for it to become uneconomical and nowadays even if you wanted to pay a premium, how big would it be?

A big mistake is to only focus on macronutrients when micronutrients are as important. Even then, it is a relatively unexplored field, how many chemical species you think an apple has? We have explored relatively few classes and particular examples of vitamins and it would be misleading to just go by the RDA of a few classes of chemicals which were explored because of simplicity, technical development at the time? How many vitamin E analogues are in a kernel of wheat? When did we stop doing this basic research into food and nutrition? There are millions of different molecules in natural food, how much is destroyed by processing? Like the homogenization of milk, which is practically very vigorous stirring and yet it destroys lactoferrin.
In the UK at least, Director of X used to be more common than Chief X Officer, but they seem to be used roughly interchangeably. Similarly Managing Director was used more often than CEO. We seem to use a mix now but overall moving more toward US conventions.
> Worst concert.. Zero engagement.. Played what he wanted to play..

I also attended a luke-warm show of Dylan's, but I actually sympathized with him. Sure it's insulting to the audience, but that's who he is.

I think Bob Dylan has always had a love-hate relationship with the public and the media, and being an "entertainer". He's a poet and song-writer first; inconsistent as a singer - amazing at times, unlistenable at others; and kind of un infant terrible at playing the expected role of performer.

He's "selfish" in a way that many artists are. When he's inspired and loves what he does, maybe there's an audience that can share the experience with him. Otherwise, I don't think he cares about the job of entertaining people.
So you're basically ignoring all the data and studies regarding this issue and still decide to handwave the whole thread.
We're talking about the impact of large percent of men not having sex on society and you're response to this is:

I can detect blinking, yes. However your eyelids have very small muscles that are not meant to be consciously controlled all day and I don’t recommend straining them. Your eyelids twitching from muscle strain is rather uncomfortable (from experience)

> Especially once they reach their thirties and get hit with the double whammy of declining attractiveness and a higher desire for deeper relationships.

You mean their biological clock is ticking to get kids?

> female attraction is really complicated

They indeed look for more aspects than men. But I think it can best be summed up as:

1. successful man
2. man sweet enough to take care of the family
3. man hard enough to protect the family from the outside world

I think there is still confusion about these points: successful does not equal rich. A born-rich loser will have a harder time than a hard working entrepreneur that might hit jackpot some day.

And they are not looking for jerks. They are looking for jerks to the outside world, and sweet to them. Basically a man who can and will protect them and their family.

But of course, I think we can all agree that women are more complex than this ;).
I agree with that it is not bad the economy that people change jobs, but I believe that the employers overvalue others employees and undervalues their own, a bit.

Not counting the most dull sweat shops, programmers experienced in the company's code and processes just are like X months/years of salary more valuable on average than everyone else in their hiring pool on average.

I worked on my prior workplace for three years and at the end I worked half as hard for twice the result as in year 1-2. In the first 6 months I got sort of nothing done. I think this applied to other hires too. Is anyone agreeing with this, numbers approximately of course?

Are you thinking of this book?

If I had to name the single epistemic feat at which modern human civilization is most adequate, the peak of all human power of estimation, I would unhesitatingly reply, “Short-term relative pricing of liquid financial assets, like the price of S&P 500 stocks relative to other S&P 500 stocks over the next three months.” This is something into which human civilization puts an actual effort.

I'm not clear on why selling 2 iPods is cause for Paypal to assume malicious intent. Selling dozens sure but come on.
pretty selective.

Maths has proofs. Logical reasoning from first arguments that a thing is true or not. It either is, or is not, proven. End of.

Physics as applied maths, pretty solid. We need to conduct experiments to verify that nature agrees with our mathematical constructs, but on the whole these are simple and unequivocal. e.g . gravity. Particle physics gets dodgy because of the vast range of collision results - statistics starts creeping in. Rather than being able to say that particle A collides with particle B to produce particles D an E, we now have a statistical chance that somethng might happen.

Chemistry as applied physics, again, pretty solid. Everything has to be tested by experiment, and experiment frequently throws up surprises, but if a reacts with B in Chicago, it probably does in Moscow too.

Biology as applied chemistry. Mostly solid. It gets massively complex, and so the temptation to resort to statistics is overwhelming and most biological papers start talking about statistical probabilities rather than actual results. But the basic biology is mostly the same for most subjects, and if the conclusion is simple (virology and the effectiveness of vaccines, for example) then we're all good.

Any social science as applied biology: not much. This is really dodgy territory where the experiment design totally dominates the result, and the result is statistical data that has to be massaged into a definitive statement. This is p-hacking territory, where experiments are largely unreproducible, very subject to bias, cultural references, and academia politics. E.g. whether creativity shares a limited resource pool with willpower - highly subjective, highly variable between individuals, hihgly suspect if your paper cites this as a proven result.

Not all science is worthy of the same level of trust. The scientific method is trustworthy. Academia is not.
Once again your ability to absurdly oversimplify things is truly astounding.

The reason why one's economic situation is relevant (and it's relevant to essentially everything), is because it becomes a source of many other biological and social pressures that might prevent someone from spending time, for example, "[developing] a personality" (whatever that means).
> My target group of women almost never praise me for my physical features but my personality instead.

Women do this in general because mentioning physical attractiveness among women is taboo. This is why a personality-focused, zero pictures version of Tinder would utterly fail. Do you think women would leap to such an app, finally being able to judge people by their wit and conversation skills and empathy? Of course not. They want photos.

> Judge for youerself: I'm tall, super skinny (most often the skinniest), have a very atypical face, so yea not in the top 1%.

Height gives an enormous advantage. The rest I can't comment on, but I suspect you're underselling yourself. If you're white and have a conventional appearance (even if not chiseled or model like), you're much more acceptable to a woman (and her friends, and her family) than a 5'6" Indian guy.

What I've noticed is that any guy can fall to rock bottom, but not every guy can float to the top. There's a lot of privilege to go around. When people try to take credit for everything in their life, whether it's business/dating/athleticism or whatever, it's just trying to deny privilege and ascribe some fairness to a world that we all know is not. I know I'm privileged in some ways that hot guys are not. I mean Tucker Max is in therapy today.
You're not missing anything.

Paypal slurped up Venmo as part of their Braintree acquisition several years ago.

Braintree still exists as it's own distinct offering, but the branding was updated to clearly show it as part of Paypal[1].

Venmo is also operated under its own brand as an independent/distinct product offering, and unlike Braintree it never had its branding updated to tie it to the Paypal portfolio. The only place you'll find a reference to Paypal are places like their legalese such as the website footer[2], where they note they're a service of Paypal and Paypal is the actual provider of all money transmission activities within Venmo.

So they're spoken about independently because from the consumer standpoint they are (independent apps, independent accounts, different capabilities/limitations, etc). But they're having the same issues because the root cause is part of the same shared money transmission systems/policies.

The decision at the moment is that while there may be backwards-incompatible language changes, referred to with the go2 label, Go is not planning to ever release a backwards-incompatible compiler. That means code written today will always be able to be imported by and linked against future Go programs, but there may be future language features you can't use without explicitly opting in. The go module system also has a way to declare language version, although it doesn't do anything right now.
Ask HN: Is hiring without a 'remote possible' option discriminatory?
There are many people that cannot in the foreseeable future be in a public space (i.e. an office), because they're in high-risk categories for COVID-19. For example, immunocompromised people, pregnant females, etc. But also there are others who are just not comfortable with the possibility of contracting the virus, irrespective of their risk group. At least not before a provenly working vaccine is available.

In this light, is it a discriminatory hiring policy (maybe not according to local laws, but in the broader sense) when a company requires in-office presence for their candidates?
Hopefully you'd be able to "siphon" (not literally, obviously, but figuratively) the fuel from the stranded ship, assuming the two ships do indeed use compatible fuel.
Great topic. The cognitive load of full stack development at > 45 to me seems unbearable. I love building products, but after doing the basics for the 1000th time gets old. I would imagine the appreciable parallel being similar to a backend dev having to do UI work.

At my age I no longer want to look at a monitor any more and want to think and have others build products, so went i to product.

The pay question is interesting too. You need to work to have a couple million in bank by 45 and the investments give you a lot of flexibility in not chasing senior mgmt. Also stay healthy, employed, and dont get a divorce (1/2).
It might not be clear to you, but your post will come across as the embodiment of arrogance to many.

This post is great! I would also add using the built-in secrets store your infra provider has in staging and production. For example, Heroku has config vars.

Shamless ad: If you guys are looking for a free and easy to use secrets manager with powerful features that work on every stack, I would recommend Doppler (YC W19). For transparency, I am the CEO.

Doppler is a cloud-hosted secrets manager designed to win the heart of the developer while meeting all the requirements of your security team. It works great in local development and production, can be nearly 100% automated, and has built-in versioning, reusable configs, audit logs, SSO, granular access controls, can automatically sync with your infra provider's secrets store (ex: Heroku Config Vars). It also has high availability features built into every part of our stack (from our open-source CLI creating encrypting fallback files to our servers running on multiple infrastructures).
