I've always figured it was an ego-preservation mechanism. Subscribers to this belief don't see themselves as successful or attractive, but being successful or attractive is a major part of their sense of self-worth. The emotionally healthy response would be to address why they don't see themselves as attractive or successful, or maybe to question whether those make sense as part of their self worth.

Some people can't or won't do those options though, so their brains move to the next option to preserve their sense of self-worth: deflection. They believe they are unsuccessful or unattractive, but they can preserve some of their self-worth by believing that their perceived lack of success or attractiveness is due to factors outside their control. They were born into a hierarchy stacked against them, or they just weren't born with the right genes to concede. They're caught between a rock and a hard place; they either tell themselves that they're failures but it's okay because it's someone else's fault, or they tell themselves that they're failures and they only have themselves to blame. They literally can't see the third option, which is to tell themselves they aren't worthless.

People who would genuinely consider themselves alphas don't generally subscribe to these beliefs. There are some that claim it, but I'm frankly convinced that deep down theyre terrified they might be a beta, which is what causes the constant dick measuring in those communities as they fight to prove to themselves they really are alpha. Joe Rogan doesn't give a shit about the alpha/beta male thing because he's confident that his life has value. I'm a casual, occasional listener, and I wouldn't accuse him of being overly macho. He speaks confidently, but I don't think arrogantly. I don't think he's as clever as he's often given credit for, but that's not a mortal sin. Schwarzenegger is an even better example. Physically, the man is a paragon of traditional masculinity, but he bears no resemblance to the alpha male persona.

I genuinely have a lot of empathy for people that subscribe to the alpha male thing. I can't imagine the mental anguish of living an existence where you construct a mental hierarchy you are at the bottom of, because it's the best light you can think of yourself ever being in. It's easy to get lost in hating them because of how toxicly they expose their views, but underneath it all is just a person who's lashing out because they hurt.
Reminds me of the 1992 book. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men_Are_from_Mars,_Women_Are_f...
I think everyone's choices are based around money (wealthy or not). I think the crux of what you're getting at is that the opportunity cost of choices when you're not wealthy is inherently stressful. If the choice is between going out with friends and buying groceries, both options will cause stress due to lack of the other.

I'm at a point in my life where I can essentially go on autopilot when shopping for groceries and not worry about the cost. I still have to make other decisions based on money (do I take a vacation or upgrade my laptop?), but the side effect of those choices is NOT stress.

So there's some minimum income that everyone needs (and it's different between people) where they can "forget" about living expenses and still have a relatively stress-free life. I'd wager somewhere around 1.5x - 2x the cost of living.
Can you clarify why you don't think Rust has parametric polymorphism?

struct Person<T> {

Is parametric polymorphism and valid Rust.
> Obviously that’s a simplification of any situation.

Yeah, I believe it's an oversimplification to the point that it ceases to be useful. All other things are not the same when you're running a privacy-focused "for the public good and the internet" charity vs when you're running a profit-focused "the public good is irrelevant" ad-tech company.

I don't know who the best developers are, but I have a feeling that a few of them are working on open source projects and aren't working on new ad products that would make them dozens or hundreds of millions if they worked for Google.

My impression is that you'll get a narrow field of candidates if "we pay you a lot" is your argument for why they should work for you. And on the flip side, if you say "we pay you well, but not FAANG level", then you exclude some people with a certain personality trait. I'm not sure that you're creating an issue if you don't attract those people when your motive is not "profit above all else" but essentially "profit doesn't matter, we're a non-profit".

By reading this article, am I learning how to learn how to learn Japanese? So meta. :D
It's not just about bragging, we are pretty sure that there aren't any life on Mars but Venus is another story. All we know is that the temperature is too high even for earth extremophiles but that's not an actual observation of the absence of life like on Mars, it's a conjecture. No entity has ever looked around on Venus for more than a few minutes and nothing has moved even 1 m at the surface. Venus won't have the potential for economic wealth like Mars colonization may have but at one point we will have to look and confirm scientifically if there is life or not.

The other context that's important here is that it's a political topic where popular shifted massively in the same timeframe--circa 20 percentage points IIRC.

You're basically faulting him for taking a position which was reasonable and well within the center of public opinion at the time, which had subsequently become unpopular. And completely discounting the statement he made in the meantime showing that his opinions had, in fact, evolved over time, just as it had for a large fraction of the population.

(Another thing to point out is that the board was aware of the political contribution when he was appointed CEO, and did not feel it was any obstacle.)

How is supporting anti-gay movements not an act of homophobia?

I guess you are arguing semantics here, that you have to be literally afraid of homosexuals to be considered a homophobe. Well—though technically correct—this is not how most people use this word, and you know it. In current speech homophobe is anybody that acts maliciously against an LGBTQ+ person or the LGBTQ+ community as a whole.

It's so common here that I never even considered the possibility of having a CEO who wasn't also a member of the board. It's pretty common for them to also be chairman of the board. Especially for founder CEOs.
This is my kneejerk but why do a CEO ever has to be replaced by an engineer?

I mean, when company fails, isn’t the cause that the corporate failed to lead the company, right? They sucked at their job, not at someone else’s job.

Letting managers pretend their lack of some stinky nerdy ability outside of their job description was the direct cause of their failure don’t sound right to me.
He didn't just make a small donation once. He made a donation to a political campaign that called thousands of people sexual predators in campaign ads because it didn't actually have anything truthful to say in opposition to gay marriage. It was one of the most shameful and disgusting political campaigns in US history. And Eich made his donation after they started running those ads, so he was aware of how his money was going to be used.

And that was why it was an issue that he made the donation. Not because he opposed gay marriage (many people did and still do), but because he supported the wholesale slander of thousands of people.

If the Prop 8 campaign had been run differently, his support would not have been an issue.

Exciting genuine product
Seems really weird.

How is an OS supposed to support that? Seamlessly transition processes to run in qemu-x86 on the ARM core? Compile some processes as ARM binaries and pin them to the core? Require some sort of data-layout-preserving dual-architecture compilation for all binaries?

Seems much more reasonable to add a low-power in-order x86-64 core instead.
That was just around 2 years after the language became public and 4 years before it became stable, so I wouldn't really call the language "mature" back then (I didn't use the language then to have the insight even if I got before 1.0). From what I can see, the core developers seem to take seriously bug reports, even implementing sophisticated ways to accurately find the source of bugs [1] and running tests on the entire ecosystem before each new tagged release to catch bugs early. There are many large scientific projects using Julia [2], and there are industry leader packages in the area like DiffEq.jl.

The "time to first plot" (a consequence of the aggressive JIT that compiles large programs with heavy optimizations, as Julia doesn't have an interpreter outside of the debugger) still exists, but it is also improving at a fast rate.

I read an article about executive directors salaries at non-profits, and the gist of it was that good executive directors are expensive because they bring more money into the org; would you rather 90% of $1m go towards your cause, or 50% of $10m?

This doesn't seem to be the case with Mozilla, though. They somehow have the worst of both worlds: inflated executive salaries and a loss in revenue.
I don’t know the particulars of this location; however, often times it’s not dirty industry invading and settling in poor neighborhoods but rather poor neighborhoods sprouting up next to these industries because land is cheaper.

For example the Sriracha company settled in the middle of nowhere, the north San Jose water treatment facility was in the middle of nowhere but now you have housing next to them and people complaining about smells or pollution.

To avoid this you’ll need better more stringent zoning laws with bigger buffer zones.
> Is great that they open sourced their engine, however they don't even mention the assets and that you need to buy their game to have them, which is a bit strange.

When it comes to open sourcing game code, it is pretty standard.
Rather than wrecking havoc by taking people's land and forcing changes to their production plans, how about just paying the true costs of those changes and everyone doing it because it is in their best interests? How much has the government spent on this virus to date? 3T? It would not be hard to pay the market rate required to make this happen. That is how EVERY other program, defense and space included, have worked for decades.

I've been getting together with friends and family more the last couple/few months. Outdoors and indoors. A couple/few larger gatherings. There have been no problems.

Most of us our in our 40s and 50s - some older, some younger. We don't sneeze or cough on each other. It is assumed that someone feeling sick would stay home. Our family is more careful around gram, she's 92.

I'm personally not of the belief that covid is the end of the world. A lot of people agree with me.

I know of one person that refuses to leave the house. I understand that this person is more afraid of the virus than most people. I wouldn't want to do unnecessarily do anything to make a person who feels that way uncomfortable. But I'm also not going to live in a bubble for their peace of mind.

The rest of us feel pretty strongly that respiratory pandemics are part of life and can't be stopped by lockdowns, despite all of the fear-mongering headlines and anecdotes. Let me know when covid-19 is worse per-capita than the 1968 or 1957 flu seasons.
The issue I see is that most of the populous don't even know or hear about, never mind understand, what's going on and what's being done to them - because if it's not in the media (Sun, Mail, Standard, Telegraph, etc) then as far as most of the country is concerned it either doesn't exist, is a conspiracy theory, or is Russian bots causing trouble.

How do you rise up when it's your own people, not just your government and media, trying to pull you back down?

HN Comment Sorting?
Hi,

Is there any way to sort the comments by categories such as Date or Time posted? Also many dead comments are very good gems compared to the highest rated in a thread (due to all the possible manipulation) is there a way to sort those to the top?
The Critical Thinking section starts off with:

"Thinking logically is something we all can do. We find ourselves so often taken in by fallacious arguments, though. How can we identify them in others' arguments and our own thought?"

Well, I'd start with "Thinking logically is something we all can do."

If considered as a low-dimensional binary, it's true: we all can think logically, in that each individual can probably get at least one answer correct on a logic test. However, stating that fact as "Thinking logically is something we all can do" seems like it might run the risk of people not taking the time to consider the importance (or existence) of the variable: [the degree to which we can consistently think logically], which I think should include the ability to detect when the premises one is working on top of have potential imperfections contained within (such as in this example).

Might theories like this offer some explanation for why the rationalist approach seems to not produce the outcomes that one would "logically" expect, or why it's not much harder to find incorrect assertions in rationalist communities than it is in less intellectually rigorous communities?

It seems to me that sayings like "It Ain’t What You Don’t Know That Gets You Into Trouble. It’s What You Know for Sure That Just Ain’t So." are not just clever, but they also contain a lot of wisdom.

> . I don't think anyone at any pay level would be happy being paid 20% of similar roles.

First, an 80% discount would still leave the CEO on a very comfortable salary. They're not going to have to dumpster-dive for dinner.

Second, what about doing the job on principle? Plenty of people volunteer their time to good causes for no money whatsoever.
how me where he has come put publicly as fearing homosexuals.

He hasn't. But he has come out publicly as supporting a campaign which literally called gays "pedophiles" and "sex offenders" in billboard and televised campaign ads.

And Eich made his donation after the Prop 8 campaign started running those ads.
So I guess what might be going on here, is partial brain tissue death from lack of oxygen, or something like that? Holy fuck.
Careful, here on HN you can't suggest getting things completed is a valid metric for success.
I've been in Analytics + Data Science (most of that in customer facing roles) for close to a decade now, and I'm one of the first people to say there's a ton of hype in AI/ML. However, the real issue with the hype is unrealistic expectations and BS marketing, not the actual usefulness of ML/AI. This includes Data Science tutorials which are basically - 1) Here is some clean and ready data. 2)Pick the best model. 3)??? 4) $$$/Profit!! That doesn't match the real world at all.

Between myself other people I've worked with, I've seen ML/AI helping address business problems in Healthcare, Industrial Manufacturing and Operations, Energy (e.g. Oil&Gas), Consumer Goods, and Finance. These types of projects tend to succeed when they are part of a larger initiative that includes some organizational change. A lot of "let's drop ML/AI into our existing business process without changing anything" tends to fail.

As for needing an ML/AI specialist versus SWE with some basic knowledge of an ML toolkit, I think you need both. Not every business problem is a software engineering problem.

Goodness, the number of folks who divide the world into "solved problems" and "problems to be solved" missed the entire point of the article. This article was not about "what we can do to the world for our own needs"; it's about "how can we change our minds and perspectives (our selves) to do the work that needs to be done."
As I had mentioned in my other comment, our grandparent generation holds on to some aspect and that it is stronger in villages. But having travelled through India extensively, the kind that goes on in Bengal is no comparison to say Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka. That's the reason you will politicians have caste centric campaigns and manifestos. In Bengal, politicians know that caste will not get them votes, BJP is trying its level best to split the vote along caste lines.
This is targeted at embedded so anything for that core will only run on that core. Thus the OS needs to know about it because it needs to start that core and stay out of memory that core uses.

I have often wised my embedded system had separate CPUs for the embedded control (real time requirements, bad things happen if it crashes), and the user interface (needs to be pretty with icons, but who cares if it crashes)

Generally, I agree with you, except for the argument that developers who play with (or do projects using) less popular languages "are statistically more likely to care about their craft" (do you have any data supporting this claim?). Being curious, while certainly a valuable trait, is not equivalent to "being caring" about some craft - it is a nice addition to the package. However, it is a bit more nuanced than that. For example, success or failure in using this strategy depends on startup's stage, funding, roadmap, team size, engineering culture as well as current or potential use of microservices architecture, which gives us much greater flexibility in a relevant technology stack selection.
They are also forced to by market realities (which you bring up). They can't just ratchet up the prices to where they would get the same margin as for an SUV. But many people can't afford that.

The big 3 made a conscious decision to get rid of their cars because they constantly had to do incentives to make them sell. Compare and contrast to the Japanese makers who tend to be less likely to do so. IMO they weren't selling as many fits as they wanted, and my gut also tells me the new trade agreement may have had an impact (I will admit I haven't dug into it and checked the foreign content and if it would be out of range.)

Heck, Subaru actually moved their US Impreza production to be domestic. If a few players stick to the car market for a while I feel like they will be rewarded for doing so. Not everyone wants the extra cost of an SUV.
