I don't see why people won't just take the step D and Lisp do-- allowing full use of the programming language at compile time.

You can execute an ordinary functions at compile-time to read a DSL from a string or read attributes (reflective metaprogramming) on your program's classes. Take the string it outputs, use mixin(), and you have code. For example:

// Sort a constant declaration at Compile-Time
enum a = [ 3, 1, 2, 4, 0 ];
static immutable b = sort(a);

"a" only appears in the compiler's memory. "sort" is a normal function that runs at compile-time. "allowing accessto the full language at compile-time" is similar to what dynamic languages such as Python and JavaScript give you, except D is a static language with GCC and LLVM backends.
This is brilliant! Equivalent, in its way, to C++ template metaprogramming. It was cheeky to do a Forth instead of an ML. The traditional way to demonstrate TC is by sieving primes at compile time.

C++ is actively replacing its compile-time ML with core language features, but isn't there yet. Still, it has been many years since I needed to code any of my own TMP.
This is a really good point, and honestly pretty inspirational.

I think the key point is that he wasn't doing it just to make more money, but to do what he always wanted to do (make humanity an interplanetary species). Taking the time to break that huge goal down into steps that can be individually profitable (and thus fuel the next stage) and then executing on them so well is just... awesome.

Your comment inspired me to go hunting for the original SpaceX pitch deck (or similar initial documents). I found one but it's a lot more recent - anyone have a link to the first one?
Birthrates did not declined because lack of sex. They declined because people don't want to have children or wants to have them less then used to be.
I doubt monks wrote that code.
They didn't take it that way. You can keep yelling about it, or you can use some empathy to try and reason about why they felt that way.

One will get you further, one will keep you stuck.
I happen to agree. I am still waiting for my phone. They do have defense with Covid impact, but, were it any other company, I doubt I would be as patient or forgiving. They have a lot of goodwill. They should do what they can not to squander it.

Adjusting pricing may be better for them especially if demand is that high.
The important thing to note is that the cable companies won the lawsuits (with the arguments that are currently being made here, the courts agree with you!) which spurred Congress to amend the Copyright Act so that transmission was a copyright violation and cable companies needed to license.
You replied within an hour and now Im seeing it in 20 hours.
We exchange short texts, we both dont have a context, we dont know what each of us feels at that moment and we have absolutely no feedback about each other's mental states.
THIS isnt working! The conversational part of the social media is out of sync with reality and timespan. Evolution never had to optimize for this b/c there was never a need for it.
We struggle to understand, we just throw words at each other in passing and fill in the dots in our own minds - which is terrible b/c those dots are too far apart.

Signal is a needle in a haystack. Its not worth trying to keep fixing and reshaping the haystack so we dont keep loosing the needle. Lets just admit this tool isnt working and move on to better alternatives.

Edit: Clarifications (Need for post-editing also supports my point btw. )
Skimming the website and referenced paper-website (didn’t make it to a particular paper) I saw only statements of results, and none of methodology. Is the p-hacking claim “a general feeling” or can you pull it from something concrete here?

By the way, in case it is “just” a feeling, I’ll say up front I share the feeling too. I think worth considering for every empirical study.
These are the things i am coming always back to ycombinator.com. There are always valuable, intelligent replies here for all kind of issues you might have.
Studies have shown that rich females are less willing to "date down" than males are.
> There's a distinction between processed and ultra-processed (or highly processed). For example, canned fish is processed (added salt and oil), while a frozen TV dinner is ultra-processed (many ingredients added, some of which you probably don't have in your kitchen).

Sure, but OP said ban all processed food. That's what I'm responding to, not "ban all ultra-processed food." That said, I do find your categorization to be troubling. Just because something is a frozen dinner doesn't necessarily mean that it's bad for you. Whether or not something is good or bad for you is based entirely on its chemical composition; it has absolutely nothing to do with how it has been put together or what form factor its being distributed in.

It may sound like I'm being pedantic, but I think these kinds of short cuts are actually genuinely harmful. I've known many people who have thought "cheeseburgers from McDonald's are unhealthy not because cheeseburgers are unhealthy but because they are processed" and then gone right ahead and made themselves cheeseburgers that have three to four times the calories, fat, and salt of the McDonald's counterpart.

Does that make McDonald's a healthy option? Absolutely not. But why is McDonald's unhealthy? It's because the food they serve is unhealthy. It's not that the food that is served at McDonald's is unhealthy because McDonald's is unhealthy.

> Processed food is fine assuming you're aware of what's in it, how it's processed, and make sure you're not overeating any of it.

s/Processed//

If people want to eat healthier, they need to pay attention to the ingredients in the things they're eating. If we're going to regulate something, we need to regulate the ingredients that go into things people eat. Using buzz words like "processed" and "ultra-processed" with definitions that are, at best, not well understood by the general population just leads to people working around personal/social rules/regulations.

Just because your t-bone steak is local organic grass-fed whatever does not make it good for you. That food is just not healthy, even if it is the only ingredient. We did not evolve eating food like that with any kind of regularity. If you want to be healthy, you need to just not eat it.
I think the idea is "defense in depth" - but you are correct - if you use env vars/vaults, and a proper .gitignore, this isn't an issue.
There is immense pressure from most parents to have their children settle down and have kids. If that requires the parents to make financial contributions to enable this, that will increasingly happen.
Check out some of the women's dating subreddits. The magnitude of sexual activity reported there is staggering.
> Is the novelty of new partners really that important?

Yes. It is biologically programmed into us and can be seen with such colloquialism as "Variety is the spice of life"
From https://www.foxnews.com/media/highest-viewership-network-his...

"[Fox News] has been celebrating a 44-month consecutive streak as the most-watched network on basic cable and a 218-month streak as the most-watched cable news network, averaging 3.5 million primetime viewers and 2 million total-day viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research."

For terrestrial broadcast television in the US, the pro-Trump Sinclair-owned stations possesses 294 stations for around 75% penetration of total US households.

Also, news-talk stations are right-wing with the exception of NPR and sports.

Therefore, one can conclude the right-controlled media is mainstream media.
Most of Murphy's discourse around "how to be an intellectual" focuses on how to support yourself financially and build an audience or platform while doing work that traditionally relied on support from academic institutions, not "how to be smart" or anything like that.

Most of Murphy's actual intellectual work seems slapshod, but his efforts to figure out how to essentially do academic work outside of academia are interesting and seem to be in good faith. I don't get the same vibe from his as I get from alt-light or alt-right "Anti-academics". He doesn't spend an inordinate amount of time lambasting colleges for restricting free speech or supporting Marxists or any of the other standard talking points.
I can eat a spoon of salt, or yeast. It is not particularly good but I know what it is, and I know the toxic dose. I won't eat a spoon of sodium benzoate or E324 or I don't know which food additive, I can't buy it in a food store, it is not "food" by itself. So I don't eat it :-)
Zig takes this approach. I haven't done more than kick the tires curiously, but it seems very cool.
I think your last point is absolutely the central paradox of global society. The goal seems pretty clear: brutual transnational neofeudal capitalism with a happy, politically correct face becomes the default universal position that defines the dynamics which subcommunities allowed within that framework interact - eventually, the whole planet becomes California.
Incels have contributed to civilization more than the rest of the human race. Newton, Nietzsche, me, Schopenhauer are a few examples. It's the path for greatness :)

Most women are people just like you, they want a real relationship and want love. I know it's shocking, but they're not all after sleeping with muscular wealthy men any more than you are with sleeping with an 18 year old blonde with huge breasts.
Stop being so superficial and start looking at women as real people.
New Podcast on Distributed Data Systems and Cloud Computing
https://anchor.fm/computing/episodes/Part-1-Yugabyte---Deep-dive-into-a-distributed-SQL-database-ef9mol

In our latest episode we do a deep dive into the internals of Yugabyte with it's authors Karthik and Kannan. Yugabyte is a highly scalable and developer friendly open source distributed SQL database. Yugabyte is built by an Ex-Facebook team that wanted to bring what they learnt running one of the latest databases on the planet out into the open source world.

One thing I find really fascinating with Yugabyte is that they are fully compatible with Postgres, Redis and Apache Cassandra which makes it easy to replace a lot of infrastructure with just Yugabyte. Hope you enjoy the listen and remember to subscribe for many more of these deep technical discussions.

I've never been a fan of master/slave when it comes to disks etc. although I thought renaming it was dumb (previously). Glad things are moving away from it. But this isn't master/slave, it's master/fork. Of course now that I think about it, main/fork or even better primary/fork sounds good to me.
> The club and dating apps is where you go for that. If you and someone you work with both swipe right, then it's fair game.

And then the awful question arises: how do two people meet who would enjoy one-another, but who mutually abhor immersing themselves in a pool of strangers (i.e. clubs, hook-up culture, etc.)? How do socially-anxious introverts meet other socially-anxious introverts? (Certainly not in meet-up events for common hobbies; they've chosen their hobbies to avoid being around groups of strangers!)

This sort of coupling used to be accomplished mostly either by a societal expectation of an external matchmaker in some cultures (e.g. "arranged marriages" in the Indian parents-play-matchmaker style); or, in the rest, stumbling upon one-another in a forced shared environment, e.g. school, church, or work, and then fraternizing. With the loss of the social expectation of regular church attendance regardless of belief; and then the discouragement of "mixing business and pleasure"; the introvert finds no place where love will come to them. So they remain alone.

Compulsory schooling remains as an avenue, but in Western culture there's increasingly a very strong push toward peerwise age isolation (i.e. being discouraged from fraternization with anyone outside of your year), at least until college; and what remains goes against the apparent romantic preferences of most people of each gender (i.e. almost no teenager wants to date people precisely their own age.)
I am not sure I can buy this. Most "hot" guys aren't going to sleep with ugly girls just because the can. Perhaps the OP's answer does not hinge upon that concept, but it certainly seems relevant. I think the issue is much more complex than this, and has far more to do with male insecurity than anything else.
All the answers to my post are missing the point.

I'm happy Postgres works for you. It works for me, too, in a number of setups. But one should never accept advice like "just use Postgres" without thinking and careful consideration. As the Jepsen article above shows.
I didn't claim it's special. Just that it differs significantly from what the majority of people think of as a "bicycle". If you ask them to sketch a bike it won't look like that.
> It is these men who are having all the sex. Seems like a powder keg over time as the excluded men become bitter and forced to postpone getting married and starting a family. I believe many of these men will eventually find someone once enough of the women who are now rejecting them face biological realities and are forced to settle if they want to have children.

Yep. The problems will be generational. On one hand you have the possibility that the men are very aware of this problem, and any relationship they find will be tainted by knowing they weren't good enough to party with but good enough to marry.

But more important than that is the time a couple spends actually getting to know each other is greatly cut down. Which then impacts how the children are raised.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see an increase in divorce and/or single family rates over time.
But the data also shows that for women the figure is unchanged.
Maybe you can use context to differentiate two different meanings of the same word though
Transition to "adult stuff" was quick. I turned thirty and immediately took on a full-time job at a tech company and moved into my own apartment. I still did a lot of my hobbies and spent time with friends, but I decided to invest myself in work and try to make some money. I was lucky in that I had programming experience and connections at a company that would hire me despite having limited experience.

It took a few years before I really decided to settle down, put down roots, and get married. When I decided to do it, though.. I went and did it immediately. I moved to a quieter, less expensive city, bought a house, a 20 year-old truck, and adopted a senior dog. My wife was the first person I dated in my new city, and she worked at the cafe closest to my office. She was probably one of the first people I met.

Fucking off in your 20s can be fun, but it can also be lonely and depressing and you're never immune from all the bullshit that makes life difficult... At some point in time, I decided that I would rather be scared than bored and based a lot of my choices around that particular value. And that's one of the trade-offs: A lot of things are not going to work out, a lot of plans are going to fall through. You have to be flexible. You're going to be on a financial tightrope sometimes. Things are easier being settled. But, having more to lose, I find myself more resistant to changes and more risk-averse.

The longer-term trade-offs are just financial and professional. I could have been investing more of my money, or bought a house earlier. Getting yourself to a higher level of income is fairly easy, but missing out on 5-10 years of professional experience is difficult to make up for and that has long-term financial side-effects.

The fact that things turned out okay for me probably has more to do with luck that I care to admit.
I find myself fatigued by making the right choice to the point of not making choice in the current gay app climate. I’m actually bored by hook ups, but unable to find a partner who is, but also equally open to being persecutive, together. It feels like the algorithm is just harder now. Or I’m just difficult.

> For the same reason "I was just following orders" is not a defense. Breaking the law is breaking the law—even if your bosses order it and other people are doing it.

I don't think "I was just following orders" is a defense against breaking the law. But I think arguing that something is a common practice throughout the U.S. is a defense against the act showing a willful or depraved indifference to human life.

Basically I don't believe in the death penalty. But I also don't think the doctor who administers the lethal injection for the state should be convicted of manslaughter if they happen to kill an innocent person. (I also think the death penalty kills more innocent people per execution, than execution of warrants).

> I suspect most PDs during a no-knock warrant will still use uniformed police officers

Definitely agree here. But plainclothes warrant execution has been become increasingly common over the last decades. The no-knocks, are getting more no-knockier.
You are correct. But many men were educated like that. Because that is what a gentleman does. Same way we were taught to open the door to an older (not old) person as a sign of respect.
That is only measuring people who still have cable. It doesn’t tell you anything about those that don’t watch cable news at all. All we can tell is that the 60+ group prefers Fox.

I did say liberals tend to watch less cable because they tend to be younger, it doesn’t mean that liberals in general have a propensity for cutting the cord.
Your view is extremely narrow and inconsiderate of the feelings of the men who've been excluded. Indeed, @wutbrodo's comment when a population of young men doesn't have the opportunity to form families, _they_ become the powder keg is correct. Having a powder keg in society definitely causes suffering.
I'm somewhat confused about the TV media landscape, as there are cable news channels, Fox / CNN / MSNBC, but there are also the big 3 networks, ABC / CBS / NBC, which also air news and are also available on cable.

People are slowly learning what we already knew for ALL of human existence. My cousin is in the same boat. 10+ years of college/med school. Just had her first child and has decided to be a stay at home mom instead. She was on a full ride starting as an undergrad (she's a great student and doctor and now will be a great mom).
> The reason it was marked as dupe was simply because someone took it upon themselves to write up a sprawling smug "canonical" answer to a shitty old question that happened to cover the new subject matter.

This seems an optimistic view. What feels an awful lot of the time it just has some of the same outside appearances, and is a different question completely, but the people marking it as dupe don’t read it carefully enough, or don’t know enough about the subject to realise the differences.
The problem is that small numbers of market participants can affect the market for the majority. A small number of fraudsters on Craigslist, for example, make everyone skeptical of it. And a small number of people plying the sexual marketplace can flood the market for what was previously a scarce resource, making people unwilling to do something as momentous as committing to spending one’s life with someone mainly in order to have sex.
I don't think it's just about education. It's multi-dimensional and more about overall status, which is a combination of innate factors like looks/intelligence/humor and things like education and job prestige/salary.
I very much think this is the case — misogyny combined with low self-esteem is a huge red flag for women. Growing up, misogyny was much more acceptable than it is today; and I don’t think a lot of men understand what it’s like to be a woman so they don’t understand how widespread it still is.

Therapy helps; if you can boost your own self-esteem enough to have real vulnerability without soliciting sympathy it goes a long way to building better relationships. It also helps you see things from another perspective.
There are two coaching perspectives that I think are useful for single men. We don't have many dating coaches in the coaching community I run, but I've been in long conversations with coaches outside that community whose job it is to help men date.

One perspective is that it's almost always faster to focus on being more interested rather than more interesting. That means focusing on status and alpha male activities is typically a loser in terms of strategy despite all the anecdotes you hear to the contrary. Whereas treating women like people, looking them in the eyes, listening, being curious, trying to find ways to relate--these can be very effective. There's a lot to unpack there, but maybe the easiest is just to give women credit that they know when they are being manipulated.

But human connection can be rare and a huge number of male daters are not approaching dating in a way that allows for that connection.

To do this authentically, you have to be crystal clear that there is a difference between "I'm laughing at her jokes because I hope that will make her sleep with me." and "I'm laughing at her jokes because she's funny."

This be more interested approach has an unfortunate counter narrative about getting friend zoned, as if that is a bad thing. You talked to a woman and ended up with a friend, what's so awful about that?

And on this, I like the perspective of one of our sales coaches. Her perspective is that sales is a lot more about sorting than it is about convincing.

If you approach dating as an exercise in convincing then you are basically implying that you can point at a woman and then rely on some set of male seduction skills that will convince her to sleep with you.

What if you gave up just that fantasy of being able to pick any person and make them like you. And instead treated dating as a sorting activity--who do you like that also likes you back?

An exercise anyone could do to see some of the wisdom above is to ask their female friends to show you the worst profiles and come-ons that they've received on Tinder. I think that will help you see that a lot of what is preventing men from finding matches has little to do with status and a lot to do with being weird and self-centered.
Yes, I was going to comment something similar. "The majority of women" is clearly not the same as "the women you've personally witnessed hooking up with your friends at bars in NYC".
Plus Lenovo's deal with Fedora.
Mmm...no true Scotsman.
To be devil's advocate, he never said it wasn't still the right move, just that perhaps the (subtextual) motivation was less than benevolent.
Amazing that we can get such high quality resources for free. That said, I'm not convinced by the example where the CEO uses the "data modelling layer" (essentially what holistics offers to build for you and what this book is an ad for). In my experience a good data analyst does far more than "translate" the business question to SQL. The exec's understanding is not only limited by not knowing SQL, but also by potential confounds or a billion other things that can make a seemingly meaningful result meaningless or dangerous.

I don't think simpler technology can give people the magic answers and easy data access that they crave any more than no code tools can let people build complicated correct systems

> I don't even know where I'd put a significant other in my life

I think we're talking about non-commital encounters, not "relationships" like you're referring to. (Not that there's not a time element involved to nurture that part of one's life!)
Ask some men you know.
