The reality is most men are unfit to reproduce. Accepting that takes a bit of a time but eventually you will learn that coming to terms with your value on biological level helps.

I don't think the current trends are problematic. The previous trends of overpopulation and women having excessive kids were. The depleting rights of them. Those trends were the problem.
As I understand it, research shows there is some bias in favor of women in the court system. Eg, see chapter 7 of "Women's Crimes, Criminology, and Corrections" at https://books.google.com/books?id=zZZeAwAAQBAJ&lpg=PR1&ots=h... as "The Chivalry Hypothesis", starting on p. 168.

Here's one quote, from p174:

> Their data were from the 1980s, and included larger numbers of cases than many of the other studies, but addressed only two types of charges -- theft and assault. They found that African American men, but not African American women, were less likely than other defendants to get charge reductions. They found that women were 15 to 17 percent more likely than men without a record to receive probation and 11 to 16 percent less likely to receive a jail sentence. These authors also found that white women were about twice as likely as minority women to have assault charges at arrest changed to non-assault charges at final sentencing. They concluded that there are sex effects, at least for these two crime categories, that exist apart from any influence of offensive seriousness.

Intersectionality helps explain why (black or Latino) + male is even worse.

So when the anonymous author writes "we characterize criminal justice as a systemically misandrist conspiracy against innocent American men" .. well, leaving 'conspiracy' aside, .. yes, it seems there is a bias against men in the criminal justice system, and a bigger bias against black men.

Why then shouldn't we think about the criminal system as being misandrist? The essay present no evidence that the 'Chivalry Hypothesis' is invalid, and seems to scoff at the possibility that it might be.

The author writes "Black people are not incarcerated at higher rates than their involvement in violent crime would predict."

I'll now quote from https://www.sentencingproject.org/publications/color-of-just... :

> Analyses of more recent data all come to similar conclusions: a sizable proportion of racial disparities in prison cannot be explained by criminal offending

Just how accurate are the rest of this professor's observations?

The author writes "If we claim that the criminal justice system is white-supremacist, why is it that Asian Americans, Indian Americans, and Nigerian Americans are incarcerated at vastly lower rates than white Americans? This is a funny sort of white supremacy. "

That's .. a pretty well known story. US law prevented immigration from Asia until the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. Eg, the Chinese Exclusion Act (1882) and the Immigration Act of 1924. The lack of a large Asian population for several generations weakened the rather violent American attitudes from the late 1800s.

The 1965 act gave priority to professionals and other individuals with specialized skills, so the people that came were from a different economic class than the manual laborers of a century before, and not representative of the general American population.
tl;dr: The spec exists for the web; the web does not exists for the spec.

Those US invasions were usually illegal under international law, contained the US committing war crimes and not being punished, and led to the US passing a law allowing "all means necessary" to bring about the release of anyone associated with the US government being held by a country/group at request of the ICC.

Human rights have never applied universally, the lack of any Nuremberg trial against the Allies made that clear.

Hard to take this seriously considering they had 3 million DAU during the closed beta and it's averaging 100k+ concurrent viewers on Twitch during the day (North America).
After reading the post article (which was interesting), that tweet fits his MO, which seems to be "convert words into money without particular concern for quality or value".

I doubt he actually believes the two things are comparable, rather he knows there's the right mix of pseudo logic and gratuitous drama to appeal to his target demographic.
A colleague has effectively abandoned local dev. His "local" is Digital Ocean. If the project is critial he locks it down by only letting his IP in. Gives new meaning to "virtual desktop."

I'm sold on the idea but I will likely go with VS Code instead. He uses Vim. God bless him :)

In this context the Pi feels intriguing. I'm going to run this past him.
I really don't think I'm missing the point. I might be missing your point, since you seem to have misinterpreted the thread and gone off onto your own digression. I'm all for 2A and I don't think cops are bad, but guns aren't keeping the peace, the police are keeping the peace, even if they aren't a perfect institution. There are lots of places with lots of guns and few police, and they are not known for being nice places to live. This conversation has reached the absurd--those of us without guns aren't dying multiple times per day as your "without a gun..." comment suggests. I'm not interested in debating absurdities, so I'll leave you with the last word.
That's a good point, I cook my rice with all kinds of millet, barley, and seeds mixed in. My grandparents would probably think that's backwards, why would I eat barley when I could afford white rice.

But it's supposedly healthier (there's a famous story about how eating too much white rice crippled the Japanese navy [1]), and personally I think it tastes better too.

> My perspective on results like Rice's theorem is that they tell us that the Turing machine formalism can express incomprehensible programs.

I'm afraid I don't know what you're saying here.

> I don't see that as a convincing argument that there are important or useful programs that we cannot comprehend

I don't see that there's any way to contest it. The only way to deny that we are bound by Rice's theorem, is to deny that the human mind is algorithmic. This presumably requires the denial of determinism, which is fairly absurd.

If you're not following my argument, I'd be happy to rephrase it.

> an argument that we should look for stricter models that still admit all the programs we care about (probably based on some form of typed lambda calculus).

That offers no escape. We're still bound by Rice's theorem. Perhaps it will never be a practical issue, but the fact remains.
Thanks for that, I wasn't aware that was the case.

Have you noticed this being an issue? I haven't, but I'm only ~6mo-1yr in to my purchase.
> One issue not yet mentioned with Turing complete language at compile is that it makes tooling and IDE integration much more difficult

How so?

> When you need to run an unbounded program

How is a program that provably terminates but takes 2 years to finish any better for compile-time computation? You want timeouts in either case.
I'm guess you're reading PT as personal trainer and it was intended as physical therapist.

Those feelings are pretty obvious. I say, the new "Never trust anyone over 30" is "Never listen to takes from someone who hasn't been cancelled".

Ask HN: Advice for a new, remote custom software development shop?
I am starting a new custom software development company with remote employees in my native country. I was curious if the HN community had any specific advice for this model where the engineering team is outsourced, remote, and composed of mostly junior developers (under supervision of me as a senior developer) or if you could point to any existing companies that are successful with a similar business model.

Thank you!

No, that's not what Turing complete means. Turing complete means it can do an arbitrary computation, but "implementing Rust" usually means it needs to be able to take in a string of code and produce a binary, which means your program needs to have some way of actually doing that. Sure, you can encode the compiler into the Turing machine, but an arbitrary Turing-complete tarpit may not actually have the syntax to know what a string is. Usually the best you can do is encode the programming language into some form the machine can understand. (For example, with Fractran you'd encode your input as some sort of Gödel numbering before giving it to the program.)

I've lost about 60lbs over the last few years in 2 stages. (210lbs->150lbs)

In the first stage, I lost about 30lbs. I did not modify my terrible diet, and mostly did cardio (running ~4-5 miles every other day). My health markers (heart rate, blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol) improved, but not a lot. I plateaued at 180 for a few years.

Last year, I made some changes and cleaned up my diet. I avoided deserts and all "accidental" carbs (switched away from sandwiches for lunch, etc) and tried to run a bigger calorie deficit. I bought a rowing machine (waterrower like from House of Cards, highly recommend) and replaced running every other day with an hour of rowing, since its a full body workout. I started lifting weights on the alternate days when I was not rowing. I lost 30lbs over the course of about 5 months. After this, all my health markers improved markedly and my doctor stopped wanting to put me on a statin.

In the 9 months since I reached my target weight, I've increased my carbs to make my diet more long-term sustainable, but maintained my activity. My weight has remained steady. Since COVID and the closure of gyms, I've replaced lifting weights with lots of pushups, situps, planks, etc, but I'm worried that is not quite as effective, and i'm looking forward returning to my gym.
The author is right, none of these problems exist on macOS, and if you want the year of the Linux desktop to finally come, it will have to solve all of the issues highlighted. The commenters aren't going to be there to defend the true use-cases of "ARM Linux Desktop" to the end-user, so expect them to be completely turned off by this experience.
> Dark modes are a choice. Light modes are a choice

Though I generally prefer dark modes myself, something like this article might inform a developer as to which mode they will develop first and which they will set as a default.

Anecdotally, I prefer light-themed marketing landings with dark-themed application environments.
I can't help but notice the irony of this thread blowing up in popularity given that it's a Friday afternoon across most the US and during a pandemic with a lot of isolation, for an audience where the industry is largely populated by US males.

Also quite humorous how it was removed from the front page shortly after even though much of the discussion was civil. Let's not discuss the hard problems folks, thats how we solve real problems, right?
I laugh every time I see KMS used as the initialism for that, because in my circles that's short for "Kill MySelf."
I think the author makes several good points, but the most telling one is his ... justifiable ... fear of becoming unemployable in acadamia if identified. His ideological opponents have succeeded in narrowing their Overton window to a slit. They refuse to allow dissent.

The danger of this authoritarianism has been amply demonstrated by large swaths of the history of religion. Reinventing and reinforcing heresy and excommunication is not progress.
It should be noted that gcc and clang both execute certain functions at compile-time at their higher optimization levels.

In addition C++ has constexpr which marks an expression to be evaluated at compile-time.
Disney would relentlessly astroturf shill their latest productions on Twitter? Oh wait

I wonder if part of the calculus was that Disney could get a lot of marketing value out of the platform by participating in it as Millions of Totally Real Human Users without actually owning it. Ergo these PR liabilities gain relative weight in the decision. Perhaps owning it would be a liability in itself. Curious that Dorsey is on their board too.
I am not surprised given hn is like the top 1% of the global population.
1. Overwhelming majority of the (potential) player base is not "knowledgeable" as per your comment

If you have a teeny-tiny amount of money - like, $75, the cost of a Pi - and you want to get the best work computer/laptop and developer experience you can, for your buck - you'd be dumb to buy a Pi.

Instead, get a used laptop - say, a Thinkpad. Install Linux on it.

There you go: the best computer you can get, performance-wise, for $75.
Years ago I tried hacking something together like this - primarily to read labels on packaged food products - but the primary roadblock I hit was with the FOSS OCR solutions not being anywhere near good enough to be reliable.

Mind you this was a few years ago and I was primarily testing with pytesseract. I would be curious if this team actually used the Google OCR API or an internally tuned one that isn't GA, and how that differs FOSS Tesseract.

I attend this school now and as long as you are smart and can teach yourself it is a good school. You pay practically nothing and you get what you put into it. If you want to take the subjects the instructor gives you and master them all you can, if you just want to learn the minimum to pass the class, that is your option to do so too. This school really is what you make of it.
Put it this way: I intend to find out ;-)
I recently started doing video editing with blender and it has been a pleasant experience. I have a beefy computer though, not a toaster.

I own an RPi4, and it stutters doing something basic like 1080p video playback on VLC, so not ideal for multimedia.
Go used one of the oldest sales tricks since day one. You sell all your shortcomings as merits. My imagination for fun:

* We don't have templates. Hm. Let's bad mouth them. Let's say templates are too difficult. Agreed.

* We don't have exceptions. Hm. Let's bad mouth them as well. Agreed. That one is easy.

* We don't have much abstractions. Hm. Let's convince new college graduates that they can't handle abstractions anyway. Mwahaha. But waait! New college graduates are actually smarter than us. I know... But we will convince them that they are not. Mwahaha.

There is more but I think I've just earned enough down votes with that much already. :)

But there is one sales sentence I will never forget. Go people said "No major systems language has emerged in over a decade"[1] As a person who was very much into D at that time (and I still am), and as a person who knows how "major" D is, that sentence from the Go people make me see them as either ignorant of the programming language scene or deceitful. Cheap sales tactic at best...

Disclaimer: I used Go professionally for 1 year for a product in the microservices space in 2017-2018. The only thing Go had going for it was the libraries that were already written at least for that space. Whatever we needed was already written for us; we had to wait at most 2 weeks for something that we needed to pop up. There was nothing else in the language that made me want to write in Go.

I don't resent women.I was simply stating the state of affairs.There are so many cases,where attractive, intelligent,and educated women do struggle to find a long term partner,even though 'on paper' they tick all the boxes, except that they are no longer in their 20s. As for older men chasing young women: I have no issue with that, as long as the the whole thing is mutually acceptable,which is essential in any healthy relationship.

I doubt it's anywhere near that hard.

SO has crowdsourced "this is correct" (and "this is wrong") baked into its core in its voting system. One more button for "this is obsolete" would do a world of good. It wouldn't solve the whole thing -- there would be some subtlety that would be lost. But it would be at least as good as the "this is correct" signal that we already have.

Unfortunately the company has basically lost interest in its public site as a knowledge archive in the last 5-6 years and has stopped even considering problems like this, let alone working on them.
Thanks for going into detail regarding your "wildly unpopular" opinion although I suspect it isn't quite so unpopular outside California.

I can understand the value in certain circumstances of having a dress code or uniform, particularly with things like police, emergency, and military organisations. Soccer is also a good example. The goalkeepers have different uniforms and the captain wears an armband. So certainly uniforms can provide a functional purpose. But I can't quite see how wearing a tie fits into this.

I think that in a lot of environments clothing is used and has been used historically to signal superiority at a time when social rank was deeply tied to function. Consider in medieval times (and later) that it was normal for people to spend a third of their yearly income on clothing to distinguish themselves from the peasants, and there were all sorts of laws to make sure people dressed according to their position. Everyone knew their place and this order was enforced with violence.

So I don't think dressing up really helps to make visual signalling more egalitarian, if anything I think we're conditioned to equate appearance with ability. So I think we would do a whole lot better as a society if everyone made an effort to not judge or rank people according to visual characteristics. This is what makes and made places like HN, usenet, and BBS's so great. There is no visual signalling and all you have to go by are what people write. I believe that dressing down in tech is now sometimes a way for the tech industry to signal its superiority over other industries. It's a declaration of "we don't have to follow your primitive rules and customs anymore."

Western society has moved away from that level of formality except in the case of very special occasions. It's also perfectly normal to not shave everyday now. Both my father and grandfather shave nearly everyday because they've been conditioned to feel scruffy if they don't.

I can understand how it's important for a sales team to look sharp, because they can use people's conditioning against them to manipulate perception in order to influence customers. The nice suits and shoes are a tool. But I don't think this sort of image management has any positive value amongst a team of engineers working together to build something. What positive effect would wearing a suit and tie have over t-shirt and jeans? I ask that sincerely rather than rhetorically. And is that value high enough where it would be worthwhile for the corporation to absorb the monetary and time costs related to it rather than forcing the employee to absorb the costs?
Running up-to-date FLOSS software is an even better experience, in my view. It doesn't even get all that much slower or more RAM-intensive over time - certainly nowhere near as much as windows 10 or Office does! Of course you need to choose your software stack wisely if you're looking for that "lightning-fast" experience.
> so straight-up interpreting the core language at compile time is not enough. You need meta-typed named values to transport types in, and meta-functions to pass them to.

Can you please explain what you mean by this?
While I wouldn't call it polished, at the very least, the PrawnOS image will give you a quick way to get a Debian-based distro onto the c201 to customize as you see fit.

I noted above it uses Linux-Libre, so the internal WiFi does NOT work with the distro "as is". EVERY other component is supported though. If you need internal WiFi instead of external USB WiFi, you can modify the build script to use the regular Linux kernel & add the non-free Debian repos to sources.list. I've done it before and it works fine.

The default image when you build or download it puts you at a command prompt where you can either use it "as is", run a script to install a pre-configured desktop environment(XFCE, GNOME, or LXQT), or custom install things yourself.

GNOME was just recently added. The RK3288 processor in the c201 is now supported by Panfrost for 2D/3D acceleration, but I think it still has a bit to go before GNOME is completely usable. If save the resources if you're doing development.

4k output should be available soon, just tested patches for that. Admittedly 2160p was much smoother. Eventually there will also be hardware video decoding. The RK3288 has a full Hantro G1 VPU and drivers for that were recently merged into the kernel.

For alternatives, there is a decent list here that might be better suited to your needs: https://github.com/nikolas-n/GNU-Linux-on-Asus-C201-Chromebo...
