I've had to deal with this all my life because of the French AZERTY, but honestly the best solution to this problem is to get a QWERTY keyboard. I haven't thought about this issue once in the last decade.
This metaphor only makes sense if there are no inherit limits to the system you are working in and you're climbing the right mountain.

For software engineers, think about single core vs multi-threading or scalar processing vs SIMD. You are limited in the performance you can get in a particular regime without making radical changes.
Welp, guess you're right. There probably isn't a specific month-long celebration for every race, religion, culture, ethnicity, nationality, profession or identity on Earth.

Although California, at least (possibly other states, it's not worth my time to check), and Canada have Muslim appreciation/history months, and Jewish American Heritage month is in May, as is Asian Pacific American Heritage month.

> Are village bakeries still a thing in France?

Very much so. You find bakeries in every village / town, usually less than 15 min walking in any city. I don't know many people in France who buy supermarket croissant (except when you buy very large quantities for groups for example).
And it's very common for people to go to their local bakery (small, 2 or 3 employee) to buy bread every two days.
Also interested, why do they want to increase taxes? Any sources or articles about this?
Great selection Dugadu! Thanks for sharing a valuable resource - Landmarks Digital
I must have some screwed up genes, myself. Healthy, relatively well-off, and dare I say occasionally charming, I am seriously considering never having offspring.
Maybe you're asexual? Or, even if that's not quite it, you could try dating asexual women. I imagine they find it quite hard to find quality partners that want to spend time with them, but don't expect sex at the end of the night.
I found it hard, but in all fairness, I haven't used sales tactics that much.

I also didn't do The Game or The Mystery Method. I basically took another dating book's question "how can you find the women of your dreams with just your personality?" and took that as far as I could.

Long story short (for me personally): use assortative mating theory to its fullest and most extreme.

With that said, I have met other people who found it easy. It's definitely not an uncommon experience.

Thanks for the book recommendation! That looks like such an old book (1969!), I'll take a peek.
I just got a new Surface tablet, and the tablet cover keyboard's brightness buttons definitely control the screen, not the keyboard lighting.
> Males in the animal world fight to death for the right to pass down their genes.

They actually don't. Such a thing would be on the rare side in animal world.

The only exception would be spiders where he risks being eaten. Other then that, they either have basically hookups or woo lady while ignoring other guys.
My kids can swear in Russian as they play CS:GO ...

I enjoy when I get foreign language players of a language I know some of, it's a good way to practice IMO - wish one could choose a preferred language.

I guess they don't do that because of the impact on matchmaking (mm), the mm seems crazily sub-optimal I'd love to know that logic behind it : like when you have a game of 9 people, why you abandon it rather than finding a person from the pool of 100k waiting that will play. It could be a setting "allow game requests from mm" and they could give a little xp for it - beats searching and waiting another 10mins to start a game.
This is immensely interesting to me. This is a developer who is familiar with linux servers and infrastructure but in unaware of all the linux desktop oddities that come with it.
> if you have high ping to the online client itself

that doesn't make sense, you download the client and you run it locally (even if in browser) so there's no notion of client ping here (unlike something like cloud gaming)

Can anyone post a rundown of this article? Medium is really getting annoying here.

How well does iOS really work as a kiosk when your customers might interact with it, possibly unattended? I know I've seen many iPads in such a situation where they go on a lock screen and ask for a passcode, or you can hit Home and go to Springboard to open some apps or change settings, or at one point I had it pop up a prompt to update the major version of iOS and I hit "yes" and it seemed quite busy working on that upgrade ....

I guess there is "Guided Access Mode", but I literally just learned about it googling for this question, and it would seem a lot of people don't know about it.
> develop a compelling personality

Hah, I love how you slipped this in right next to buying new clothes. Developing a compelling personality is not trivial. In fact, most people go their entire lives with developing a compelling personality. Might as well tell guys they just need to grow a little taller.
I worked hard but I also travelled a lot. I was in a commited relationship throughout my 20s which made it all the more enjoyable.

But it did seem to go fast. Career wise I have progressed but I've always fantasied about doing the start-up thing. I've never even launched a proper (personal project) website
>And at least in Japan there is a weird subculture of something I’d call “adult play dates” where you pay for someone to feign interest in you —I don’t even know what the purpose of that is.

Welcome to OnlyFans.
The general jab at the Americans. If I look at Europe food culture with a certain lens, I just see shitty doner kebab places in every corner and turkish grocery/meat stores that smell horrible. Obviously, that lens is cracked, tinted with biases.

Some points are valid though. Honestly, as an American, we've got some awful vegetables and tasteless food just about everywhere unless fat/sugar is added to them. Probably due to the way mass production and transportation of food goes in to the US. It wasn't like that. There is nothing wrong with our soil. I spent some time in India, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan and Korea and the veggies are almost like they grow in your home garden. Go to a store and pick out a tomato and it is impossibly good. America has farmers markets in every city, even in some of the most impoverished cities. But that's not where the majority of the middle class goes to shop for their vegetables.

Try growing veggies in your own garden on American soil and its gonna taste amazing.

Don't worry, Asian population wants malls, walmarts, and giant grocery stores with similar tasteless food. It is happening at a massive unprecedented scale.
This explains why so many people have trouble with Kickstarter and I love it. I think these things are not for you. You have a lower risk tolerance and strong quality requirements for your customer experience. I think there were adequate signals that these were not going to be met, but if I ever do something like this I'm going to make it even clearer that this is early-access tool for the community and there are lots of failure points.

Honestly, I suspect this experience is just not for you, man. It's like when we funded the glowing plant on Kickstarter, or the smart mattress topper that became Luna and then Eight, or funded the development of neovim. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. These are people experienced at doing a thing but not all the things around the thing. There's going to be drop-offs.

I really wish there were a way to just say "If you have normative expectations, go elsewhere". I really want to be able to participate in this specific subsector of the economy without the general-consumer folks increasing costs because I'm willing to accept lots of cut corners on beta products and they want all the trappings of working with folks.

As an example, one of the things I bought they took two weeks to respond to me (it was a combination GPS/Glonass/Galileo antenna for cheap). That's okay for me. It took months to arrive with many delays every few months. That's also okay for me. I don't want them to hire more folks to ensure they can respond to everyone. I don't want them to hire more folks so they can manage the customs hassle. I want them to be able to validate the product itself because I want more of that product.
> Why do they want to raise taxes?

Takes 2 incomes (or a rich income) to buy the luxuries most women demand. Most women are still not as wealthy as men.
Has a snap back happened anywhere else in the world? While the unknown is scary, in this case it seems like we can look to our neighbors at home and abroad for comfort.

For AWS, locally, you store your secrets in your user directory which shouldn’t be anywhere near your hit repository. All of the SDKs will automatically find your keys there. When you run your code on either EC2, Lambda, or ECS (Docker), the SDK will automatically use the keys based on the attached role.

You should also require MFA to use your admin credentials either programmatically or on the web.

With AWS, you can even use an IAM role to connect to Mysql and Postgres so you don’t need to store a password for database access. You can use the SDK to generate a temporary password to the database.
Can you elaborate more on this TLDR?
A Linux desktop is far less “painful” when it’s on an equivalently powered device as you are used to.
I wouldn’t plug a monitor into an iPhone and claim Apple desktops are painful.

The real takeaway to me is “ARM desktops are a few years away”.
Heartily disagree. If you have time to play video games and endlessly post on reddit, then you have time to get in shape and take a shower. Willpower's even easier barring mental illness (in which case they should see a doctor, not whine about women on the internet).
> At the same time, people definitely can be happy without sex

Yeah, but that's really like saying "but people can be happy while they are fasting" to somebody that is being starved.

Something being voluntary often makes the difference between it being considered harmful or even torture and a weird thing.
It's been an ongoing, years-long effort to find the root cause and alleviate the pain. I was finally diagnosed with degenerative disc disease (aka shitty spinal discs). One particularly pessimistic doctor said I was "an otherwise healthy thirty year old with the back of a 70 year old" after looking at my MRI, though others I have seen said it's not THAT bad. I was a fairly accomplished High School Cross Country runner and ran for years after graduating, so I have to imagine that was cause for some of the issues I have today but the doctors have all said it could have been any number of things.

I did recently have two radiofrequency ablations done, which burned the nerves that were giving me considerable pain. So far it's been successful and my biking/walking/lightweight lifting routine has probably helped too.
I did this 3 times and then gave up! The muscle-memory is too strong.
I don't think this is a universal fact, so much as a result of the way that dating culture has played out over the last few decades.

If you read the work of earlier sexual reformers, particularly Wilhelm Reich, who wrote "Sexual Revolution" in the 1930s (yes, that one), then you instead find dreams of new ways of living together, with sexual freedom going hand-in-hand with the total abolition of the nuclear family, etc.

Instead, we've become more isolated in societal terms, and more dependent on commodifying ourselves and others (particular in terms of image) in order to attain our social and physical pleasures. It is the result of this shift--isolation and atomization, not freedom qua freedom--that we see the problems discussed here.
I know they will do that on occasion, for an outstanding candidate.

But the vast majority of their work force has a real degree from an accredited university, and you know it.
Can you expand on that? How do you plug your Pi into the iPad, just a simple USB cable? Do you use an app for VNC/SSH?
Do we have a national problem with pythons attacking a certain segment of our population? No? But you may be right that it's insensitive to those suffering from ophidiophobia.
Care to point to these studies?
Imagine only union worker could move kanban cards between columns
This makes me sad. The only thing I can do in a case like that is to ABANDON every tool (having a replacement) whenever the company / group behind it starts to drift from the core idea toward strange waters having nothing to do with the objectives of that group... I urge you to do the same. Consider that personal integrity (calling a scam a scam is a matter of honor) is a crucial factor in being in a good relationship with oneself. Let's not accept immaturity as a new norm. Let's slowly and methodically make unfit ideas die, like evolution does. Peace.
PS: I never thought that I 'll live thru that kind of crap from tech industry on a large scale.
PS2: Think what would happen if evolution would be so easy on its creatures, leaving partially-sound ideas as blueprints for the humanity to deal with. You eat an apple, and you crash your teeth on an unexpected brick of gold inside of it. What? Although gold is precious, a bar of gold found that way is a misery. And it makes the existence of that kind of apple just... Inelegant. Wise nature doesn't do that, and you shouldn't too. Some things are the way they are because it's the most optimal way for them to be. The passage of time is an excellent tutor of what might be considered as a proven solution. The master branch concept has been working for a long time. I have it in my muscle memory by now. And NOW some kind of enlightened, progressive geniuses are going to tinker with how the feedback loops between my mind and the universe have been set up? No way bozos. Get back to school. Take some lessons on philosophy, and maybe even oh history, so you can understand that a wise man isn't going to speak until it's needed. Not even to mention that he isn't going to progressively cry on anyone's shoulder that he doesn't like a this or that definition. I'm a master of my own self, therefore I'm a racist. Said no one to anyone ;) One thing is sure - I'm not going to be a slave to the puppets of the neo-marxist war on language.
I know it has personally impacted me. At a young age, I simply gave up on trying to find women to have sex with simply because I had access to the best porn on the internet.
Hi everyone! I’m Max from BuildBubbles.

More people are blogging than ever. But at the same time, more people today prefer to listen rather than read. So, we thought: What if bloggers could offer a way for people to listen to their content?

Converting a written blog to a podcast involves what’s known as text-to-speech. But text-to-speech alone cannot create podcasts that connect with people. Good podcasts need more than a voice to tell the story: They need music and rhythm to create an emotional impact.

That’s why we came up with BuildBubbles. It’s a web app that can help bloggers easily make awesome podcasts without a microphone or studio equipment.

Bloggers do not even need to know how to edit the podcast. BuildBubbles converts written blog posts into compelling podcasts with sound design! With BuildBubbles, your blog will stand out and you’ll reach a much wider audience.

As a content provider, you spend a lot of time creating interesting content. Make sure it reaches as many people as possible!

BuildBubbles is easy and intuitive. Just three steps and a few minutes and it’s done!
1. Paste a link of your WordPress blog post you’d like to convert to a podcast
2. Choose the BuildBubbles podcast template and voices you want
3. Edit your podcast if you wish.

Once you’re finished, you can download it or embed it in your blog.

We currently have eight templates with ten voices (more are coming) and 100+ choices of music in our library. Our templates are versatile and can be used for a variety of podcasts. We are planning to add more templates every week. We will support languages other than English in the future and add more voice selections.

Please give it a try! We’d love to hear your feedback.
Great. I guarantee you are 100x closer to figuring out your love life than anyone here talking about wealth, looks or status.

I don't want to be a love coach. But how are you with making an ask? Do you ever use clear language like, "Would you like to go on a date?" or if you're on a date, "Would you like to hold hands?" "Can I kiss you?"

She's on a date for a reason too. And if the answer is no, then congratulations on sorting a person from the unknown bucket into the no-romantic-interest bucket. If they say no, accept the answer respectfully and move on.
Why is it odd? The linux server and desktop worlds don't mix at all.
Things have changed a lot. Over the last year the company I work for has transitioned a couple hundred developers from Windows desktops to Linux desktops and it has been surprisingly smooth. Much better than an experiment I ran myself a number of years prior.

Note from submitter (me): The title of the announcement is "Couchsurfing needs your help," but the lede of the story is that they're hanging on by a thread.

In my mind the original Couchsurfing community died years ago when they became a for-profit company, started charging membership fees, and proceeded to cycle through multiple CEOs in just a few years.
This. It's why I spend my entire day on windows even though all my targets are Linux.
So many of the comments on here seem to be making an implicit and flawed assumption that people are only having sex within their age cohort.
Just shared this with a client, thanks for the info!
Speaking for Zulip, in this kind of situation we are happy to work out discounted Zulip Cloud pricing that makes economic sense for what you're using it for.

Our take is that the full price (which is similar to Slack's) is designed for when the users are full-time employees that you're paying a rich-world salary, and that in that situation it's very cheap.

Here's what we say on our pricing page: https://zulipchat.com/plans/

> Zulip Cloud Standard is free for open source projects. We also offer steep discounts (usually 85%-100%) to many non-profits, educational institutions, groups of friends, and in other scenarios where most of the users are not fulltime employees of the customer. Generally, only closed organizations that also pay their members' salaries pay full price.
You're just attractive I guess?

Are you implying they can smell nofap on you wtf.
The reason was that there was no pill and she would get pregnant and unable to earn money with baby. Which means baby is problem of everybody suddenly.
Vouched for Matt’s reply to overcome HN spam filter.

Matt, I’m not sure what the spam filter is latching in to, but you may want to try varying your opening line a little bit for each response.
I've been wondering about this as well. As you mentioned, monogamy may have evolved due to polygamous societies being less stable. The US is going towards a winner-take-all future where only a few humans will be able to have their psychological needs met. If you look at Maslow's hierarchy of needs, fewer and fewer people are able to even fulfill the bottom layer. This means that the majority of people will eventually have no incentive to keep society intact. I think we're already seeing the beginning of these effects with societal unrest, rising extremism, rising and younger suicides, etc. I know this sounds like incel-speak, but I have been in a long term relationship for several years and I'm starting to be very worried about the future of the US society and am reconsidering my plans to have children. I think at a high level this is due to the extreme wealth inequalities that exist, so if we don't fix that we might be heading towards a very violent future. I think part of the reason for wars was to tame this instability by giving men some sense of purpose while at the same time getting rid of them or the men of the other side. Unfortunately, this kind of discussion is forbidden in public and you will be labeled a misogynist or incel if you mention it.
As of fall 2019, You'd need a USB-C to ethernet adapter, and provide separate power for the RPi.
I really like the author's response after he closed the request and people kept commenting on it.

> Disclaimer: I'm starting to write this at 7 am in my morning, so my thoughts are a bit incoherent.

> I wonder how all of you would feel if suddenly a ton of people who haven't done anything for the project appeared here, told you're a horrible person and started bullying you into doing what they want...

> For almost a decade I've been doing pro-bono work on the style guides, RuboCop and many related projects, but all of this gets easily forgotten. You come out of nowhere, you vilify me over this, you fork the project without even discussing this idea with our team... Whatever. The US has many issues, but so does the open-source community. If even I wanted to rename the project we're talking about 300+ extensions, usages in tens of thousands of projects, messing up with search results that have been building up for years, etc, and an insane amount of work associated with this. I've made nothing out of RuboCop and now you're adding a huge pile of disappointment and frustration on top of this nothing.

> This feels like a great opportunity to double down on the Ruby community ethos and get a ton of positive publicity by rebranding. At the same time, let's recognise that the request implies a bunch of time and even some material expense for @bbatsov (registered domain names, doc sites etc. beyond "just" renaming in code), and some help scoping that out would probably be appreciated if the request is to seem actionable.

> @purcell It's nice to see you around! You might remember how the rename of nrepl.el to CIDER went down - this meant so much additional work and so many confused people for years, that I'd really don't want to walk this path again. And the funny thing is I'll get a lot of hate either way... A couple of years ago I had to undergo the painful process of renaming a widely used project again (tools.nrepl -> nrepl) and there are still people confused today about why there are two of them, why some deps don't work in some cases and so on.

> Everyone, I understand your frustration very much. I've had my share of political activism, I truly support the cause of the people protesting in the US these days, but I think you've got no idea what you're really asking for. If you hate the name you're obviously free to do whatever you wish. I will only ask you to acknowledge the work our team has been doing for such a long time and be a bit more respectful of our time and efforts. I don't even do much Ruby myself these days, but I'm still dedicating a lot of time to RuboCop, because I love the Ruby community. Seems the feeling is not mutual.

I guess if it bothers people so much why don't they just fork it move forward? Do I still have the right to be a jerk if I want to? Is anyone forcing anyone to use rubocop? I am just very confused at this point.

EDIT: Rubocop author posted his thoughts on the whole situation here https://metaredux.com/posts/2020/06/08/the-rubocop-name-dram...
