Odd that you would point out MongoDB as your named example, as it is pretty awful at sharding/clustering. For HA, the more better example would be Cassandra or Scylla.
Mongo's success is more tied to the ease of development with a native JSON document DB, rather than any claims to scalability. (Insert "Mongodb is webscale" video here.)

They should probably just be realistic, then.

I have friends who had the same attitude but them they realized there's like, a few dozen men in their city who a) make more than them b) are single c) are sexually interested in women d) are attracted to them e) they are attracted to.

They now OK with "dating down". This is just a result of women being able to get good jobs too.
Sorry about that -- still learning how to effectively interview! (If there are specific examples you can cite, that would actually be helpful; I am trying to get better at this.)
That's fair, but that still doesn't mean the two are competing.
Most men are going for the 18-25 year old group simply as a matter of preference. We aren't interested in women that are "waiting to lower their standards". So as a man, you figure out what that age group wants and then you try to get it.

> it displaces "human worth" onto _individual_ fertility and offspring

I think the word "worth" could be an anthropomorphization. I read the concept through the lens of survivability. Hypothetically, a societal identity which does not ensure biological reproduction could be evolutionarily outcompeted by one that does. Even, or especially by a fertility cult. I remember this being one of the central, disturbingly dystopic outcomes that Mike Judge's Idiocracy tried to address.

A lot of progressive technocrats look at model citizens with technologically harnessed upward mobility. They observe and want to enable global movement towards this. But if the environment that enables the financial prosperity of these model citizens also disables their ability to reproduce their way of life, how does it successfully compete in "the marketplace of ideology" against opponents who out-produce them by default? Wouldn't that be a local maximum? Without some kind of mechanism in place to address that, the progression has no guarantee of continuing. And this could lead to the dystopic scenario outlined in the film.
Given that teenage pregnancies are also down and so are std and so is drug taking, yes. And given how much of effort was put into making teenagers have less sex and use dammit condom, yes.

Because side effect of that period were teenage pregnancies that had quite destructive effects for the rest of those kids lives. And side effect of sexual education are safer sex practices.

On the second point, that is actual risk involved. I would not made those laws, but I can't change them.

Third thought, it is also not comfortable to lie in park without things like blanked under your body with guy focused on finishing as fast as possible. I don't know how to tell it differently, but in average case the girl won't have that much fun in those quick minutes as guy who has fun until he finished. Which means less drinking and drug taking must be factor in drop of those encounters too, because one of partners would be more likely to refuse the activity.

The Case for Ending All Traffic Stops
A powerful use case here is at-home medical devices (think blood glucose monitors). With a SIM and cellular service, they can work anywhere, be agnostic to consumer WiFi issues (oops, someone changed the WiFi password!), and give "real-time" updates to a doctor or other health professional. Getting patient data has a huge barrier today and there is a ton of room for improvement, leaving the door open to better/more proactive care.

I didn't see where this person up thread was fine with the anti-lockdown armed protesters or claimed to side with the police attacking peaceful protesters. Can't those things be wrong and having local warlords in charge also be wrong?

I feel like 100% of your comments in this thread could be applied to any current social justice protests and they would be just as out of place, but you'd get shot down. There are studies, there's data, but for you it appears being able to imagine other reasons has more weight, and the studies get waved away with as "imaginary social problems".

Why the hate?
I admire how knowledgeable Jeff is in different subject matters. Jeff is a major contributor in the ansible community and very helpful to everyone.
Shouldn't people like you be having more children? If society is really crumbling, we need more people who have the right ideas about how to rebuild it. I'm not being sarcastic by the way. I imagine we have similar concerns about Western civilization.
The point is different, on a different reading.

> I guess one point I should make is that for almost every piece of software I wanted to use, I had to spend a lot of time just trying to find any that would work on Linux—then narrowing that to 'on Linux ARM64'. And then I had to usually spend a few minutes compiling it from source, placing my own shortcuts on the system (so I wouldn't have to open a Terminal every time I wanted to check Twitter), etc.

> All of these issues (4K difficulties, having to compile apps, not finding apps) are exacerbated by the fact that the Pi runs on ARM, but it is still a problem in the wider Linux ecosystem.

The point is that the above could apply to a $1500 ARM computer.

However, I suspect that he's not very experienced with Linux, and ultimately makes a comparison that doesn't make much sense.

> Anyways, on my Mac, I'm used to Shift + Option + dash for em, or Option + dash for en, but we're getting off the point.

On GTK, one can use a compose sequence for that. There you go: https://askubuntu.com/a/31265.

> All of these issues (4K difficulties, having to compile apps, not finding apps) are exacerbated by the fact that the Pi runs on ARM, but it is still a problem in the wider Linux ecosystem.

"Having to compile apps" and "not finding apps" are not problems in the wider Linux ecosystem. There's an enormous amount of stuff in the repositories of the main distros, and it's prepackaged. And there are external repos for what's not in there. The software one really has to compile manually is a very small minority (again: in the wider Linux ecosystem, that is, on x86).

For the 4K, I can't speak, as I have no experience.

Ultimately, using ARM for a desktop machine with specific software requirements doesn't make much sense; in particular, because his work(flow) revolves around closed-source software. However, that's what the explicit target of the article, so I can't really complain about it.

Looks roughly like how we do it as well with one exception - we don’t crash on “programmer errors” because we don’t maintain any local state in the node process. If all state lives in your DB, Redis, etc. it’s perfectly ok to have a catch all error handler that logs errors, sends it to Sentry, etc.

Yea could be. But this particular thread started with how some employees are opposed to unionizing. Views on this will be personal, some will support and some will oppose. I’m just giving one perspective on why some (like myself although I don’t work at fb) oppose unions.

eg I would oppose unionizing at my current place of employment because I’m generally happy and feel having an union will make things worse based on past experience with unions.

Lean body mass is a misnomer (and DEXA scans aren't reliable).

Lean body mass = Total Body Mass - Fat Mass

That's "lean body mass," but it's not 1:1 "muscle mass," because bones, organs, and etc. do not constitute as skeletal muscle, but still take up weight.

And muscle mass itself is a misnomer, because the actual weight of your muscle protein is not 1:1 to the actual weight of your entire muscles.

Most people think muscle is made out of protein, but while that's true, it's not the main way you muscles get "bulk." The main compound that gives muscles "bulk" is water. Usually that's because your muscles have hydrophillic compounds like glycogen (stored sugar), electrolytes like potassium and sodium, and creatine. These latter compounds draw the water into the muscle, and make up for most of its weight and size.

All these compounds get used up during exercise, so your muscle hold less water, and it's technically "consumed" during exercise, and needs to be replenished after. A coincidental fact is that once these stores are depleted, they become "super-sensitizied" that means they're much more likely to take up compounds out of the bloodstream than before. So, exercise depletes them, but if you eat enough after, you can fill them up to be bigger than where they were before.

Do most people meet on apps to have casual sex or are they looking for a romantic relationship and sex is part of the dating process?

I believe sex is an integral part of getting to know someone and determining long term relationship viability. That does not mean the connection with the person was made in pursuit of sex.

This of course doesn't change who is having all the sex, but the intention may be very different.

>Macs (at least the good old trashcan) also can't do 4k@60Hz over HDMI

I cannot speak for the old trashcan ones (assuming this is a reference to the desktop Mac Pro), but this has not been true for at least the last few generations of Macbook Pro laptops. You just gotta make sure your cable supports HDMI2 and that you aren't using one of those multi-port dongles.

Finding a cable/adapter that allows 4k@60hz on macbooks might be tricky though (as evidenced by a lot of threads on the topic I found on reddit and Apple forums). I lucked out, and the first cable I bought (direct USB-C to HDMI, not a dongle) ended up working swimmingly with no issues.
I never said there was a strict ordering of men. But there are characteristics that will make one man more desirable than another (e.g. good looks, height, wealth, social status, intelligence, etc.). How these factors rank may vary depending on the woman.

You say that "a marriage is about finding a person who fits with you, and you can build a life together". So take the viewpoint from a pragmatic woman's perspective; wouldn't these aforementioned traits be desirable because the man who possesses them is a candidate more likely to provide the best life to build together?

That is exactly how the law works. Having a lawsuit filed against you doesn't prove that you are guilty, the courts hear the case, interpret the written law and rule whether the action was legal.
I absolutely categorically distrust government power. The bar is very high for me to even consider government intervention being the right thing. The current government has a public dislike for the tech industry which has nothing to do with any inherent issues with monopoly.

While, I believe that Democrats who want to involve themselves in the private markets have good intentions - the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Neither side knows enough nor things deeply enough to understand that everything has tradeoffs and especially in tech. The former generation of tech giants fell as technology changed and through disruption - not government intervention

It’s only my anecdotal experience but part of the reason for me is that a lot of men are not even trying (edit: anymore) and simply more or less consciously gave up. In my days even as a nerd I tried to fit in, go to parties, bars, tried to hang with popular guys, or just do interesting thing (my hack was playing in a band, but doing art or skateboard, was ok too, you see the point). Nowadays I feel like you either have young boys hanging without girls, thinking that behaving like in a music video with shiny cars is what is attractive, or men simply staying in front of their computer not doing any social activity. Sure the picture is important on Tinder, but in my experience the most important thing is having an “interesting“ life and being social (or at least socially validated). It‘s as if a lot of men have simply chosen to forget what is attractive and think being good looking is everything.
I have had good success using Manjaro on my Pi 4 with 4 GB of RAM. It is an altogether vastly better experience than using Raspbian, in my opinion - even when using KDE. Docker, Code OSS, and a ton of tools were up and running right away with pacman and yay. But it will never be as fast as my Dell XPS 13 DE, and it's definitely not designed to replace it. I have been extremely impressed with what I can do on the Pi 4, but it is certainly not as quick or as able as a full blow i5/i7 based laptop. Apples and Oranges.

I'm not sure why the conclusion is, "Linux on the Desktop isn't possible," when the big blocker the author had was pretty consistently finding and installing software compatible with a small ARM64 machine.

That's nonsense, and I'm ashamed to have written a comment that could yield a reply like this. If that is also how my comment reads, then I am sorry.

The original article is a good one. The author is obviously not at all clueless. It should be possible to do a day's work on a computer of similar spec to an 8G Raspberry Pi.

That the article was puzzling springs, probably, from familiarity with trying to switch from one platform and architecture to another without any help from the OS in terms of emulation or other support. It's hard to do.

I currently work for a company that makes glucose monitors for people with diabetes, but we (non-diabetic) employees sometimes get to try the products out.

As far as I'm aware, all the current medical literature states to avoid simple carbs (like white rice) to prevent insulin spikes, and to eat things like whole grain breads instead. But, we noticed that this seems to only be true for people of European descent - my Asian co-workers were able to process white rice just fine. Which kind of makes sense - East Asian people eat a ton of rice, and yet they're thin.

This is all purely anecdotal of course, and I'm not a doctor, but we do know that different ethnicities process food differently (e.g. lactose), and it's not so hard to imagine that our current dietary recommendations might be a bit skewed, because the people in the datasets are mostly of European ancestry.

While there are some truly staggering examples of US college loan debt, the average loan debt at the end of a 4 year degree in the US is $26k or about the price of a new mid range car.

Well, I might as well split my opinions into two categories here; political and non political.

Non Political:

- There is no saving the media/journalism, and it's best not to try. Newspapers/TV news/radio news/etc is dying and it won't come back.

- Advertising isn't that bad. Without it, small businesses/new creators would find it harder to compete, not easier.

- Robots will never replace humans in all jobs, even if they can do them better.

- The last series of Doctor Who wasn't all that bad.

Political:

- The left shifted focus from economic issues to identity issues due to powerful forces realising poor/unpopular people made better scapegoats than billionaires

- Tech companies shouldn't be trying to police the internet, and it's deeply disturbing how easy 'deplatforming' someone is now

- Government responses to COVID-19 weren't as bad as people make them out to be, and were flawed because of misguided optimism rather than malice.
> Most men are going for the 18-25 year old group simply as a matter of preference.

Yes, that's why we don't want to sleep with them. We have a inexplicable dislike for men who are interested in our age first and everything else second.

> We aren't interested in women that are "waiting to lower their standards"

Good because they only exist in men's minds as a sad excuse.

> So as a man, you figure out what that age group wants and then you try to get it.

No one in any age group wants you.
Because (and I say this with the utmost affection, because not only are most of my friends men, but I am too) men not worried about long-term relationships are absolute sluts. And most will admit to it too.
This is really well done, thank you. It's so well done that I'm reading just because it's so interesting, I was afraid my eyes would glaze over but I'm really engrossed by how you're qualifying the problem first.
From actually reading the content of the article, it seems like it would've been better titled, "I tried to use a Raspberry Pi 4 to do my dev work for a day." And that might have better captured the point, since I imagine a number of us have experimented with using a Pi for work, for personal projects, etc. in the past.

But the current title to my mind is a tad clickbaity, for the implied comparison I noted already.
