As a woman that uses Tinder, I can say first hand that the experience for women on the app is completely different. Paying for Tinder Gold lets you see the likes, infinite swipes, etc. like it does for men, but the value of that data is less useful. I buy Gold because I liked the features nonetheless, but the list of likes is useless - I’m constantly pegged at 9,999+ likes, the list freezes every five seconds, and there’s no meaningful way to sift through it.
There is no hope for the UK, especially the disaster that is the UK tech industry.

After the lockdown is over, people who reside there should get out while they can.

Another possibility: just loading the page pegs my cpu even with javascript disabled for as long as the tab is open or until I zap a bunch of elements. Could it be a new innovation in cryptocurrency mining?
For the Z80 alone, this is true. But it also needs the Ferranti ULA which is no longer manufactured, and was kind of an early FPGA, or the Amstrad 40077 for the +2A/+3, which is an actual gate array. I can imagine to get output for current display devices, an FPGA makes perfect sense as a current replacement part for these obsolete and unattainable parts.
If you want to get more performance out of a cluster like this you can look at my distributed HTTP app. server + JSON database solution: https://github.com/tinspin/rupy

It's actually usable for live services on RPi 2 and on RPi 4 it beats Intel on float ops./joules at 100% utilization.

And if you use multicast UDP you can make these behave cooperatively to scale horizontally beyond what's possible with a vertical solution at a fraction of the purchase/maintenance cost.

I think we are peaking at 2 Gflops/watt for CPU, so if you need silence (passive cooling) and small size this is as good as it will get, probably ever: http://talk.binarytask.com/task?id=8015986770003767235

I'm building a RPi 4 cluster with these heatsinks.
The fact that there's a 10:1 ratio of male to female users on dating platforms might be considered "compelling".
Yep, the "conservative" government made a huge economic gamble, hoping it would pay off by not affecting the economy at all. It backfired, costing both jobs and lives.
Interestingly, the Q2 results for Spain are actually better than for the UK (-18.5% vs -20.4%). It's only the comparison to the end of 2019 numbers specifically where Spain comes out worse.

Debatable why, plausibly because the Spanish lockdown started earlier in Q1.

Since the entirety of the rest of the article is about today's Q2 results specifically though, a comparison of those would be more relevant. Smells like the BBC cherry picking to try and find anything where the UK isn't in last place.
Commerce has never been done on the basis of operating costs. Go look at the price difference between a cheap shirt and an expensive shirt. The change in operating costs is nothing compared to the price difference.
For me they blurred the images because of my ad blocker. Or probably because I have cookies blocked.
> More to the point, cultures that expand and grow, do so at the expense of cultures that don’t. So through natural selection, we would expect to see more expansionary cultures than non-expansionary cultures.

Natural selection cannot apply to societies because there is no reliable mechanism for successful decision-making to propagate itself in the way genes convey successful characteristics to future generations. Does survival depend on expansion? The last century has seen the fragmentation of the imperial world into a proliferation of independent states, big and small. It is now widely recognised that exchange is more profitable than territorial acquisition, and war has become a highly technologically-intensive project bearing exorbitant costs. Most arguments for expansion as a survival strategy would depend upon some version of the realist theory of anarchy, that the absence of a supra-national sovereign creates conditions of mutual insecurity in which states are forced to maximise their relative power. But I would think that any major inter-stellar expansion would require the unification of the world - in some form - removing the realist premise from the argument for super-expansion.

> And, even setting aside the argument, you still have the much tougher task of explaining the notion that no extraterrestrial cultures are expansionary, which is what your side of this argument would require.

That depends on how common intelligent life is, the maximum possible speed of interstellar travel, the number of ETI that would commit to super-expansion, how good we are (not very) at searching the sky for signs of life, among other things. If you take the upper-bound estimate for most of those categories, then it is not at all paradoxical that we do not see alien life teeming around us.
Hazelcast Jet will get an SQL API soon, and we're actively considering first-class support from other languages as well.
So, it is not okay to discriminate by age at a public square?

But, why would Tinder control a public square?

It doesn't actually follow though does it? Some uber christian 20 y/o girl may want to get married and have kids within the year. Some 46 year old man might just be looking to bone down with his peers.

Someone can use any of those premium features to facilitate any of those possibilities, and more. Having more likes or options to message along with a super-like doesn't mean someone is looking for anything in particular.

It is simply true that some people

> value the premium features differently and be willing to pay more or less for them too.

But that's it. There's nothing about age or whatever in there.

An Apache Beam Runner is already implemented in Jet: https://beam.apache.org/documentation/runners/jet/

Beam is just an API layer with different backing implementations. But you don't typically use Beam to work with Jet, instead you use its own Pipeline API which is mostly like Java Streams. Jet will also soon get an SQL API.
The 2008 recession was considered a "once-in-a-lifetime" event. it's ironic that we're now experiencing a second.
No, the primary reason is that the UK is a heavily service-based economy. Quarantine impacts the service-based subset of the economy the most. Therefore it makes sense that the UK would be hard hit. A “nation of shopkeepers” suffers when the shops are closed...

I love the QL-esque keyboard and the case design is a thing of beauty.

Found this blog when looking for fellow devs who are in the same boat. The whole pipeline-as-yaml in CI is the worst thing I had to do for my profession in the last 10y.

The iteration experience for this is so incredibly inefficient. Testability in isolation for pipelines modeled in YAML is one of the biggest regressions in the field of software engineering. It's built for day 1, whereas the challenges lie in large pipelines which you make on day 2 and afterwards.

I thought I was alone when starting out with Ansible, just because work demanded it, and found it a very strange way to do things.
No composability, strange interfacing, weird semantics.

Yeah, I think this is partly a generational thing. My step-mum (in her 50s) was a bit taken a back when I used the word queer casually in conversation. But my 20-something friends in the gay/trans community pretty much all use queer to describe themselves.

I think it became popular partly as a reclamation of the word, and partly because the LGBTQIA acronym got so long and unwieldy. People want to be inclusive, but nobody wants to say LGBTQIA often.
Worst out of all of the G7 so far. The US is still yet to manage its coronavirus problems and I suspect that the impact when the US finally manages to tackle this, it will dwarf anything the UK is dealing with.

True folk song: ukrainian, "Even though he lost interest in the cock"[1]

Послала мене мати
к хлопців погуляти:
"Погуляй собі, доню,
Я ж тобі не бороню".

А я собі гуляю,
Як рибка по Дунаю,
Як рибка з окунцями,
Я, молода, з хлопцями.

My mother sent me
to go for a walk with the guys:
"Take a walk, daughter,
I'm not tilling[2] you."

I'm walking[3] around,
Like a fish in the Danube,
Like a fish with perches[4],
Youthful me, with the guys.

For a similar story in an anglophone context:

[1] The rest of the song is about planting and furrows and peas in pods and other agricultural topics, so it should be no surprise the young man of the title had a rooster along. As roosters will do, it had awakened her in the morning, after a night of very little sleep.

[2] Compare https://acoup.blog/2020/08/06/collections-bread-how-did-they...

I'm not sure if this verb is referring to the pre-seeding earthwork (which makes a fertile soil receptive to the seeds) or the post-seeding earthwork (which covers up the generative potential, protecting them from the outside environment). Either way, mama ain't doin' it.

[3] I don't know if this is a difference between folk song usage and modern, or ukrainian and russian dialects, but "walk around" pretty much means "party" in russian hiphop lyrics.

Compare https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NU-XAxBkEaE

(and unless I've been listening to the wrong ones, wells and riverbanks in slavic folk songs often lead to trouble — and seat wetting.)

[4] Perches are carnivores. (Well-danced tango is said to have a bit of stalking predator play?) Perch are also fairly indiscriminate: they'll go for just about any bait, whether it wriggles or not.
Try doing that with a dodgy jack socket that meant you had to apply precisely the right pressure to the plug for the entire loading process, otherwise it would crash when it was done and you couldn't tell until it was finished. You had to breathe really gently so as not to move it for however many minutes it took.

From memory I could successfully load from and use about half the tapes I ever bought for my speccy, and I still don't know whether it was me or them.

Worth it, though.

You absolutely have a point but I also think that you perhaps don't have the social or historical context to understand how deeply rooted unions are in Swedish society.

The Toysrus strike has been mentioned and at the time the unions did not even use all means at their disposal.

In the event of a general strike bus drivers could well refuse to stop at bus stops servicing the warehouse. Banks will refuse to process transactions for the company. Members will refuse to give them their business (4 million or so out of the total 10 million population). All of this happened to Toysrus.

Nearly 90% of workers in the country are members of a union and most will follow a general boycott if urged to do so.

There really isn't much of a choice here. They don't have to sign an agreement, but they certainly will not be profitable unless they do.
The same way your eye tracks an object that is illuminated by light. They just do it with a different part of the EM spectrum.
Thanks for that. Now I can definitely see the usefulness of this for interactive website use.

I am more of a non-interactive user and do not use a graphical, javascript-enabled browser much.

Here is a snippet I used to remove the annoying "hot network questions" from the page:

sed '/./{/div id=\"hot-network-questions/,/<\/ul>/d;}' page.html

Out of curiosity I wanted to see if I could access all these networking questions non-interactively. That is, download all the questions, then download all the answers.

Some years ago, like 10 years or more, I was making some incremental page requests on SO, e.g., something like /q/1, /q/2, ... and I got blocked by their firewall. What amazed me at the time was the block was for many months, it may even have been a year. This is one of the harshest responses to crawling I ever encountered. One of the very few times I have ever been blocked by any site and the only time I ever got blocked for more than a few hours.

Things have definitely changed since then. To get all the networking questions, I pipelined 277 HTTP requests in a single TCP connection. No problems.

Here is how I got the number of pages of networking questions:

y=https://networkengineering.stackexchange.com/questions
x=$(curl $y|sed -n 's/.*page=//;s/\".*//;N;/rel=\"next\"/P;N;')
echo no. of pages: $x

To generate the URLs:

n=1;while true;do test $n -le $x||exit;
echo $y?page=$n;n=$((n+1));done

I have simple C programs I wrote for HTTP/1.1 pipelining that generate HTTP, filter URLs from HTML and process chunked encoding in the responses.

Fastly is very pipelining friendly. No max-requests=100. Seems to be no limits at all.

There were 13,834 networking questions in total.

Wondering just how many requests Fastly would allow in one shot, I tried pipelining all 13,834 in a single TCP connection. It just kept going, no problems. Eventually I lost the connection but I think the issue was on my end, not theirs. At that point I had received 6,837 first pages of answers. 211MB of gzipped HTML.

So, it is quite easy these days to get SO content non-interactively.

It was also easy to split the incoming HTML into separate files, e.g., into a directory that I could then browse with a web browser.

x=$(zgrep -c ^HTTP answers.gz)
mkdir newdir; cd newdir;
zcat ../answers.gz|csplit -k - '/^HTTP/' '{'$x'}'
Yes, but we also didn't close down our economy nearly as much as most other European countries. I'm just saying that there are too many variables to conclude anything at this point, especially given that we won't have a good guess on "final" death toll until widespread immunity (from vaccine or otherwise).
> as coronavirus lockdown measures pushed the country officially into recession.

This is nothing to do with brexit.
I was born to a war, graduated to the 2008 recession, and now it's 2020. Still, excluding my parents generation, I consider myself very lucky.
Data shows that even British natives are leaving in higher numbers:

https://apnews.com/2be77e0ade49893bfefe508eb15c2d56

I suspect the government will use the pandemic as cover for all the failures of Brexit, and they will get away with it given the dire state of British traditional and social media. You're better off out of it.

I sometimes wonder if using logarithms would be more appropriate in most cases. Then we can simply add up the numbers as one "would expect".

We could choose the base to be ~2.7048138 such that 1% regular growth corresponds to 1% logarithmic growth. For low percentages they would mostly agree. But +40% would become +34% while -40% would become -51%, thus making the combined effect more apparent.
Enforcement of laws should be as objective as possible. The laws themselves are very much subjectively created.
C it is then. Thanks for your input.
It's one of the reasons why decibels and logarithmic scales are so useful. A drop of -2dB and a gain of +2dB gets you back to where you started.
Sorry for the wording, because I specifically didn't want to say that.

My belief is that there is a huge amount of human potential left on the table because young people don't have access to good mentors.
The primary way that different demographics have different experiences on tinder is not related to who they're looking for, it's related to who's looking for them. Users that get lots of matches with minimal work fundamentally aren't going to pay as much for a product that is designed to get them more matches.
The cost doesn't have anything to do with the price(except for setting the bare minimum if you want to break even).

If the price is higher that what it should be, there's your opportunity to sell your matching service at lower prices.
Inflation-adjusted, it's cheaper than the original.
I dunno, the point of hard moves like Brexit is that it gets way worse before it gets better. But I'm sure it will be better.

Germany and the rest of EU are just oblivious for now.
It's what people demanded. UK is still in semi-lockdown, with only 30% of office workers returning to the office. UK proposed a more relaxed approach at the start but backfired in the public opinion. Now, here's the arithmetic result of forcing people in their homes.

Also, UK relies heavily on services, international business, students, tourism, all heavily hit, so that increases the pain of a travel and mobility freeze.
I'm in your situation couple times per year, when there's so much to do, that I basically work + sleep only. But imagine that's temporary and you'll get over it (e.g. you'll become better at your job, or make a significant progress with the difficult tasks you're assigned to currently - you name it).

If situation takes longer than you're actually able to manage it - maybe there's something wrong at your work part of life and maybe you should consider change?

Side note: This year I've decided to monitor my life a little bit, so I've decided to create notes at the end of each week ( https://lukaszkups.net/notes/?category=lkweekly ) which summaries all aspects about my professional (technology-oriented) and private (social, free time) life.

After 32 weeks, I can say, that not these notes are helpful by any mean, but the process when I sit down and start thinking about what happened last week (& trying to find suitable words to describe it).

I really recommend trying this by yourself, it might be a little refresh and gaining a new perspective to your life.

Hope you'll find a way to improve your life as well, take care!
I'm surprised Scuttlebutt [1][2] hasn't gotten a mention.

It allows you to create your own social media feed with messages, responses and media completely offline. You then gossip that feed to anyone you want, for example via the local (WiFi) network or even by USB stick. Long range communication is done by car or by train.

There are servers (pubs) that can be used for more real-time communication. Or to make the information available on the internet after it has been sneaked out of Belarus. The main pubs have a dedicated, friendly and active community. [3]

You said you had so much information that you could write a little book. Is your book going to consist entirely of questions that appeal to thoughts of conspiracy and shadowy action by oppressing forces? Or will you simply state your opinions about how things are and support those with evidence?
I don't believe it's very productive to say who handled it well and who didn't while we're still in the middle of it. Is a massive stimulus/public intervention the right call, or does it just delay the shrinking but adds plenty of public debt?

The same, I believe, goes for comparing infections & death rates. Calling a marathon by who's in the lead at the 10km mark can turn out correct, but it doesn't have to.
I read the whole page and didn't find any information how it is supposed to actually work. The page compares Relaynet with Starlink and Ballons, but then it doesn't say how Relaynet work.
Sure, but the exact same argument applies to charging men more - we know as a matter of fact that men get into more accidents than women do, for various reasons. Yet at least some places decided it's illegal to charge men more - so knowing that it's a statistical inevitably that men will cause more accidents, now both sexes pay more, but at least the premiums are equal. Is it better overall? My internal logic tells me that it is, because it's not your fault that you're a man, so just because other men crash more often why should you be charged more?

(This can get into a really long discussion about a lot of things that can correlate with higher accident rates and how sometimes it's a false correlation, like how in some places black people have more accidents, but it's not because they are black but because they are poorer on average and drive older less safe cars - but filtering by race could be used as a quick filter which is, obviously, unfair(and illegal))
Great. I learned that the modern usage of the word 'stereotype' was coined in 1922 by Walter Lippmann, a German of Jewish descent [1]. I do not find this reference 'Funny', but IMO the fact that you do demonstrates your bias.
