Exactly reflects my feelings. I discovered that mfff+ is what makes me sexually and emotionally excited, and that a lot of amazing women want to be in such relationships once they feel genuinely loved and cared for. And see how many other women are excited about exploring things along these lines.

The biggest turn-on for women is safety. Once women feel safe they don’t care about the fact that the man they are with also loves other women. Just like friends who are emotionally mature and secure do not care that you have multiple close friends.

Good for you for figuring this out.

Apple's penchant for silence or not responding shows in bug reports too. Most of the time there are no responses or changes in the status to any issues filed. Apple uses an internal tracking system for itself and an external system for anyone outside Apple, and hardly any information flows back from the internal system.
I've done the same, branched out to consulting for a year. Mainly for international organisations. The advices here differ in what constitutes consulting. Mine is a bit different since I exclusively do NGO/Govt.

If you want to take this path, begin with a job doing consulting work for govt/public sector (mostly the international organisations will hire for coordination/short term consulting works). Then show you know way more than they need, then build up connections to further advance your consulting network.
Since the point clearly went over your head or you just decided to give that snotty reply to a strawman you came up with: parent was saying good ideas don't win if demagogues can hold a monopoly on the marketplace of ideas in the same way that, say, the ISP industry can hold broadly anti-consumer policies that customers don't do anything about because it is locally not a free market.

To expand it further, I would argue stuff like Twitter and Facebook that optimize for engagement are already not free speech since they are designed for only the most outrageous (and likely false) content to flourish.
The number of people who succeed is all that matters because that's all that moves you closer to the finish line of 'universal.' It doesn't matter if Esperanto is the most pleasurable language to learn if approximately nobody bothers to learn it because it has no pragmatic use, because nobody uses it. Network effects work in favor of English and against Esperanto. Esperanto simply doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell.
If Esperanto were ever adapted in significant numbers it would develop irregular forms and all the other quirks that make natural languages difficult to learn.
Ah yes. Another one of those 'why the heck is my blog running so slow today' days.

It's on Hackernews (again) Are people ever going to get over this page?
I can see the risk, I agree. I’d compare it to running a marathon though. Not many people’s bodies will allow them to actually endure and accomplish this without them quitting and going somewhere warm. I suppose someone could go into the cold without preparing properly, for sure.

There are people who do his breathing technique and breath hold until they pass out too. Again, this is usually not damaging (from what I’ve read) if you’re somewhere safe, but you’re right that people miss the point and end up doing potentially dangerous things as a result.
I often did get replies, but usually they were "We've fixed it now. Simply upgrade to the new version of macOS." Of course, that wasn't necessarily true. Once, I got a whole correspondence over non-working WiFi (which they didn't resolve, but which I eventually traced to, indeed, a Trust USB-C splitter).

However, if you file bugs for Logic Pro, they get addressed rather quickly. They even take suggestions. I guess it depends on which team gets the bug.
I'm surprised, always thought the Rackspace premium price was to prevent or significantly reduce these issues. That being said, I've had quite a few problems with them over the last year or so that is making me reconsider. The first-tier support they now outsource to India is frustrating. CloudFiles entries being "inaccessible" after saving for no known reason, happens a couple times a month. Had a managed MySQL slave replica down for 5 hours because they changed the IP of the master (mandatory maintenance) and failed to update the replica, no way to do this on my own.

AWS and Azure might not be better, but they're definitely cheaper.
Yes. WP34s is nice BUT again it is hopelessly inaccurate with a touch screen.
Please consider having an open source self-host option and a paid cloud service. Many people (and enterprises) doesn't want to spend time securing and maintaining servers. If your company disappears there is the self-host option as backup. This model seems to work well for Ghost and Gitlab.

It makes sense. There is no much cost for such a mistake. Some team somewhere has a "correct overprice bug" low in the priority of their backlog of tasks.

Have you found many books that you wanted priced at $0?
First, congrats on launching the book. That's a huge achievement and you should be proud! It's also great that you've kept on it for 2 years, and published a lot of posts.

So the question is why hasn't it "worked" yet. There are TONS of new developers entering the field. The audience definitely exists, and they do hang out online.

I took Amy & Alex's 30x500 class a few years ago and it was a big factor in getting my blog + business (https://daveceddia.com) off the ground, so my ears perked up when you mentioned Amy!

I think you've got it right that she advocates for creating a tiny infoproduct first, but the emphasis is on tiny, less on education. Other tiny things are icon packs, or templates, or themes, etc. Small, quick-to-create, one-time-purchase products. Goal is to learn the entire build + market + launch cycle with low risk (vs building software for 6+ months that nobody wants). Once you get your footing with all of it, you can move up bigger/riskier products, if you want.

They also advocate that the content you create should deliver some kind of fix for a problem the reader has. Give the reader a win. Also, ideally, quickly helps the reader decide "this is for me". The easiest way to do that is to make it clear you understand their struggle.

I think this is where some of your posts could use tweaking. The "Write good commit messages" article, for instance, starts with "Take the time to write good commit messages." It's advice, yes, but is it for me specifically?

Contrast this with a title like "How to Write Better Commit Messages" and opening with "It's time to commit your code, and you need a commit message. What should you say? How long should it be? Should it describe every little detail? Or is shorter better? In this letter we'll look at some examples of bad commit messages and how to write better ones."

You mentioned that your email list hasn't grown much too. It's hard to figure out how to sign up though! There's a small sidebar link "Sign up to receive posts via email" and the "Subscribe to new posts" header link, but the copy isn't terribly compelling. Few people will go out of their way to click a link to sign up (as you've noticed!). You could probably improve signups quite a bit by writing more compelling copy and including those signup forms within the articles. I'd also remove the required field "how many years have you been a dev", it's just extra friction. Feel free to ask them that question in the welcome email though, it'd be a good way to connect.

Last strategy I'll mention is that hanging out in communities with your audience is a great way to learn what they struggle with, help them where they are (with comments/replies/tweets/etc), and occasionally, sometimes, share a link to something of yours if it's relevant. Goal is to be helpful and build a reputation, not just to share stuff.

Happy to chat more about this stuff any time.

People make a fuss about irregular verbs or grammar or whatever but what really makes learning languages hard is the very long tail of words you need to know. The grammar is a comparatively very small amount of content.

When we think about how "easy" a language is a lot of it is how likely it is for us to guess from our native language what any given difficult word means -- "geografía" is more obvious to an English speaker than 地理).
To clarify what KTH is:

Yeah but vacation still presents the listing and allows purchase.
I think a better approach for these asymmetrical power scenarios is to come up with ways to very cheaply and anonymously destroy drones.

The approaches in this article seem like they would be quickly developed around. The visual cues only work temporarily until the software gets retrained and it’s dangerous to test if the drones are using updates to defeat the anti-AI t-shirts and whatnot.

Drones are pretty expensive (few thousand). So if they can be destroyed for $1, that’s probably the only way to really stop them.

Slingshots and shotguns are probably too easy to use and get away with it. But maybe some cheap drone, autonomous, that just flies into the expensive drones and crashes them.

60% think gun laws should be more strict, 11% think they should be less strict.

Welfare reform and lower spending are not strictly Republican platforms. Reform isn’t a specific policy decision. Also, Republican administrations have seen some of the largest spending increases. Being a believer in small government, free markets, and zero debt I don’t have a clear party favorite.

EX: I firmly believe there should be zero subsides for any industry, as such rebates for installing solar is a bad idea. Flat carbon tax and let the market decide, if “clean” coal can win then it wins.

A gun isn't just a gun. Most of the countries with more guns pr. 100 people than the USA don't allow private ownership of handguns, or if they do they aren't allowed to keep them at home. Of them, I think only Switzerland allows automatic guns.
Lots of market research, surveys, and analysis of market trends. And then you build and hope that analysis translates to customers.

Most people here have the right intention on testing your idea/concept before building, but they forget the world is 100x more competitive than it was 10 years ago. All the low hanging fruit ideas are gone. Yes you can obviously test some ideas easily but most of them were executed already.

To succeed now, you need to tackle the “high hanging” fruit ideas/problems and a lot of those simply involve more complexity/building and are not as easily testable via a prototype. Instead you need to invest more into market research before you build a huge chunk of it (while continually doing more market research along the way)
Me neither. In Europe we are lucky enough that most countries can maintain social networks for quite a while despite having mass unemployment and the like. But this only buys time. Hopefully enough.

Highly upvoted comment on that youtube video:

"They want to have an oil spill. The cleanup effort costs millions of dollars and the contracts will be awarded to organisation which are in league with politicians and big business. That's how taxpayer money is pocketed by these villians. That's what happened in Mauritius."

> not using if-statements gets you closer to the code-as-data concept, which opens the door for unique capabilities like modifying the code as it is being executed

This is actually one of the things that makes code _less_ readable, since the order of statements in source code no longer mirror the actual behavior at runtime.

IMHO, the value of the exercise is to decrease the surface area of a karnaugh map[1], since generally speaking lookup tables tend to be simpler than large multi-conditional expressions, and thus, less prone to bugs. But once you can express your conditions in terms of keys to a lookup table, then a switch statement is arguably more readable than a map since it's no longer possible to mutate the realm of possible branches at distance:

function foo(bar) {
switch (bar) {
case 'a': return baz();
case 'b': return qux();
}
}
// vs
const options = {a: baz, b: qux};
function foo(bar) {
return options[bar]();
}
// somewhere else, three months later, by someone else
if (hack) options.lol = lol;

My point is that the description on the App Store says nothing about a trial or what's in the pro features. Please read the App Store description as if you're a potential user and see if you can understand what the in-app purchase provides.

I wasn't asking about the trial (which I came to know only on seeing this reply) or why it was so.
> "I came hoping to find something like neural radiance fields [1] but for generic datasets (ie. latent representations of data that allow you to store the 'data' without storing it explicitly row by row)."

In that case the system doesn't have transparency and control. Imagine you are given a fact that "Alice works at Google" and 1 month later you want to remove that and add "Alice works at Facebook". In fully latent representation model of the data, you can not guarantee this.

For similar reasons, you can not guarantee preventing implicit biases in the data. Pre-trained generative models tend to hallucinate facts, for example you have two facts: "Alice works at hospital", "Bob works at hospital", if someone asks what does Alice/Bob do? You don't want your model hallucinates Nurse/Doctor.
According to Wikipedia [0] it's the US government who blocks offloading of the oil from this platform under the threat of sanctions, not the Venezuelan one. And the US sanctions is one of the factors which lead to this situation in the first place.

> Wouldn't it be better to start working on an "LLVM for language interoperability"? That way every language only needs to provide a connection to an intermediate specification, and it can connect to any language supporting that same specification.

My somewhat limited understanding is that the WASM interface types proposal is hoping to serve that sort of role. Note that in this case, the "web" part of "web assembly" is kind of a red herring; as I understand it, this proposal doesn't really have anything to do with the web and is more of an attempt to utilize WASM to create a sort of "universal ABI" that can replace the current de facto choice of using the C ABI everywhere.

> "I just want my desktop to run, I don't care what drivers I'm running or anything like that."

Which is exactly why I use Linux as my main desktop OS, specifically openSUSE. All of the drivers are just there stuff just works.

When I started out with Linux in 2001, it was with a tinkerer mindset, but now I really just want something that gets out of my way. Windows just keeps getting in my way and Windows 10 is the worst yet.

The only reason I dual boot is for gaming, Proton is still not quite there yet.
I mean, there’s no way to look at tens of thousands of deaths and declare it to be a good thing. I say it because usually in common discussion people forget that the defenders in this scenario hold out despite higher casualties, not due to the lack of them.
For me, what I love most about Esperanto is its unabashed affirmative optimism. The name itself means “one who hopes.” For me it’s a microcosm of competing epistemologies in society.

I’ll be a little casual with definitions here, but if we adopt a rationalist / positivist view of the world, Esperanto is a straightforward solution to a problem. Zamenhof despaired at his multi-ethnic neighbors killing each other. He hypothesized that could be remedied if people were able to speak to each other on equal language footing. It’s not a bad hypothesis. It’s easy to hate “those people” but hard to hate the person whose face you’ve looked into and tried to understand.

We can snipe at Esperanto and apply critical theories of how Esperanto falls short in crucial ways. Those critiques are largely valid! Esperanto is to euro-centric. Esperanto draws too much from romance languages. The need for Esperanto has been supplanted by the global dominance of English. The language was designed by an amateur. Synthetic languages are indulgent in the face the extinction of natural languages.

But I think a lot of the criticisms miss the fact that, around this simpleton, inadequate language designed by an amateur, has coalesced a community infused with something of the “let’s build” optimism that gave rise to the language in the first place.

If I look at society spanning from academia to pop culture right now, we have a hegemony of rhetorically sophisticated criticism. I wouldn’t want to lose the moderating effect of that critique and blunder into starry-eyed utopianism, but I do worry that the volume of critique to “we can do it” optimism is out of balance.

The world needs more Zamenhofs.
Accountability could take many forms:

* Having to delineate between news and opinion more clearly. Fox news is a high profile example, but many news sources do this. The inter mixing of news and opinion without clearly defining what is opinion, leads to the spread of opinion as truth.

* encouraging social media sites to require political ads be transparent of who funds them and make it clear to a viewer.

* require political ads to provide sources for their claims.

* Bring back some form of the fairness doctrine to prevent hyper partisan news.

Accountability to me means, there should be transparency to the consumer of news of where the content is coming from, differentiating news and opinion ,and providing them with the direct means to learn more.

A large part of the article is about how there's no easy paper trail for the lay person to verify their source.

I would like to take the emotion and deceit out of politics and news. Free speech is great, but it hasn't scaled well with the unfettered ability for deceit to be part of it. There should be solutions to provide more free speech while allowing people to curtail the inherent deceit that it also allows, by arming them with the mental tools to do so.

> It gets watered down for the purposes of internationality to the point that we lose even our productive affixes.

I have no idea what you're talking about. Nobody in English-speaking countries is changing the way they speak "for the purposes of internationality." And the way a bunch of languages are importing scores of English words wholesale isn't much richer in my view.
I agree that it is highly unlikely that language affects what you can or cannot think. But there are some strong differences between European languages and Chinese. Some of the Chinese particles function very different from anything in English. For example `ma` and `ba` can act like a verbal punctuation mark.

While english was simplified quite a bit in the recent 100+ (probably more) years and is often seen as a "simple" language there are quite many languages which are much more coherent then english.

E.g. recently there had been an article on hacker news about bilingual people which are fine in one language but have a writing-disorder in english. Likely due to it being less coherent.

Encrypting the data before uploading to Dropbox should make their security almost irrelevant? The issue I have with these anti-cloud sentiments is that they more or less give a moat to the established players like OneDrive or Google Drive or Dropbox. There has to be a better way to reduce the risk of alternative cloud services.
