Alright, I'm gonna say it just so you're aware of why. I'm your third downvote as of this edit.

There is literally zero reason to invoke a flamebait topic such as incel culture in this thread. It contributes nothing of value and detracts from otherwise meaningful conversation.

My comment doesn't contribute anything of value either; I'm only saying it so you're not in the dark as to why you're being downvoted. More likely than not, it's because invoking political hot-button topics in a thread that has absolutely nothing to do with such is a recipe for disaster.
Measured overtime for a population - it seems to be very good given how easy it is to measure.

I'd love it if there was technology at some point accessible to everyone that would allow for more informative measurements (w/ privacy considerations).
Not sure if most people do it. I feel like they don't just due to the complexity?

You say acceptance rate doesn't correlate with code quality and then you give 2 data points where it does correlate in the expected way.
You've made reasonable efforts to improve things.

Take a longish break. Vacation, sabbatical, or quit. If you can't afford to quit, take any other reasonable job that only requires your attention while at work. Maybe use vacation as emergency time off, and figure out how to quit.

Use the first part of your break to decompress. Use the second part of your break to decide whether to stay in your current career, or change it somewhat, or do something completely different.

But it's not your job to be miserable, and there are many things to do that are not miserable. It doesn't matter whether that misery comes from within you or from outside.

We're all volunteers.

This is off color, and may also be totally off base, but it just occurred to me that this could be causally related with the general decline in people having sex. Here’s wondering if people’s sexual activity is predicted by their BMI - an idle question for google scholar (and/or the hive mind here).
We may all agree, but that doesn't change the fact that it increasingly isn't nowdays.

Yeah there is a fine between espousing and radically shoving down someones throat a political point of view. The former is commendable the later is often divisive.
But there seems to be precious little effort spent improving one's own side (or even recognition of the failings of one's own side).

It's just so much easier and politically and socially beneficial to demonize the others.
Definitely - that and salt. Whenever you watch a professional chef cook you realize how much fat and salt going into making something taste "restaurant quality".
I remember reading "The Joel Test" my Sophomore year of college. It really influenced the questions I asked when going through so many interviews my senior year. Not sure how I even found his blog in the first place. Whenever I found out he wrote the specifications for Excel my mind was blown. I think Excel is maybe the most influential/important piece of software ever written.
> That looks way cheaper, but then you have to do the engineering and the operational support yourself.

In my experience, this is the piece that engineers rarely realize and that is actually one of the biggest factors in evaluating cloud providers vs. home-rolled. Especially if you're a small company, engineering time (really any employee time) is _insanely valuable_. Valuable such that even if Airflow is cash-expensive, if using it allows your engineers to focus on building whatever makes _your business successful_, it is usually a much better idea to just use Airflow and keep moving. Clients usually will not care about whether you implemented your own version of an AWS product (unless that's your company's specific business). Clients will care about the features you ship. If you spent a ton of time re-inventing Airflow to save some cost, but then go bankrupt before you ever ship, rolling your own Airflow implementation clearly didn't save you anything.
In one sense the fact that America is a well fed nation could be advantageous in case of climate change induced famine.
> bank account and routing number, which while common in the EU, is extremely unusual and invasive in a US context

So now you're moving the goalposts and saying that it being extremely unusual precludes it as an option? Of course any alternative to the Mastercard/VISA duopoly is going to be unusual. By definition, since they are dominant, any other way of payment will have to be outside the norm.

> American Express ... wow, it's been years since I did this but I think it involves actually going to an Amex brick-and-mortar location, and so wouldn't actually count.

It does not require going in person at all. You can get qualified for a card online and they'll ship it to you.

> Bitcoin is equivalent to paying in a different currency, which while possible, mostly breaks the terms of the comparison

Again, by construction of the question, alternative payment schemes will necessarily be different. The other players here are PayPal, Discover, and AMEX.

The alternatives for Parler (going to another hosting provider than AWS, alternate App Store on Android, and no app on iOS) are at least as unusual compared to the alternatives for payment. Just like your Discover card won't be accepted at most places, or Bitcoin or PayPal, most users are not going to accept a modern day service that doesn't have an app. Or even more egregiously, in Stormfront's case, users are absolutely not going to learn how to use Tor just to access a site. Parler isn't there yet, but it may well be soon if their domain registrar drops them. Or even Level3 or BGP providers.
Ah, but that's good enough.

The system is interesting I was just afraid of people having the ability to "brick" your account so to speak by sending illegal stuff to it.

If I can effectively delete the other user (ledger) completely from my system that would also be good :)
That's a rather strange position to hold. It brings in issues related to both the Prisoner's Dilemma and the Tragedy of the Commons. To whit, each individual reproductive group may desire more offspring, but each successively larger generation consumes more resources. Given a (for the foreseeable future) finite amount of resources, unrestricted population expansion is net harmful to society as a whole, even as large families may be beneficial (i.e. result in greater happiness) for individual groups.

It's a coordination problem. Everyone wants to act in the way that maximizes their happiness/success/utility, but in doing so acts in a net-negative way. One of the premier purposes of government is to solve coordination problems. Why is it unethical for the government to solve this coordination problem?

Or, more concretely, why does my right to have a dozen children trump my children's right to have sufficient resources left to them to live a happy life?
Nobody in the history of crypto has ever attempted it or no one has ever demonstrated it? It seems improbable no one has ever attempted it. And there's no reason to demonstrate if it is successful. So I'd argue the lack of failed demonstrations is evidence that it works.
So, they claim that much of what pylance does is mirrored by Pyright (which is open source)

I agree with you that it's pretty crap, and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth, but I'm willing to cut them some slack because of how great lsp is.

Seriously, the pushing of this makes up for a lot of nonsense, especially as its a standard which means that if it's successful, Microsoft will be mostly forced to abide by that standard within their products.
There's a way to respond to comments. And this definitely isn't the right way. You might want to read HN guidelines.
Some of us value our time. And this is not a techincal project it's an end user project. So as an end user I want to know quickly if it's worth my time. Even on a techincal project I want to know a rough overview within a minute or so of reading. Marketing is all about giving people the info they need fast. Marketing is about selling the benefits and telling of the pains it solves. If you're unable to do that for your project, why did you build it?

And I think the person who spends their time reading techincal documentation to decide if a social network is worth using is probably sadder than the person who goes and reads the about page. Not got much else to do?
No, Atom and vscode depend on Electron, tho, so they embraced Electron.
You might not be wrong. Though after rereading it, I'm convinced that it was suggested in that comment popluation control is wrong regardless. Note the paragraph on education. So in that framework, providing education with the intention of reducing birth would be unethical. How moderate or non-coercive of a means are we talking about?
Sugar addiction. I'm guessing a sugar tax is the quickest/easiest way to get those numbers down.
Yes, that is another closed-source extension of theirs. I'd miss it too, had I not already been introduced to the (much older, more powerful) TRAMP mode on Emacs. There's not that many Open-Source IDEs with seamless remote editing support, which I now consider a must-have.
Doing a zillion pullups hurt my elbows. I think a mix of shoulder mobility limits and that caused the pain I get when I squat. This has gone down though despite my squat weight going up. When I squat I try to make more effort to squeeze my shoulders back and down and watch the angle of my arms. Also, holding a kettlebell upside down for 1 minute on each side above my head with elbow straight has greatly reduced my elbow pain.
I just created a separate Paddle account with a different email address for testing. Inside that account, I manually created test versions of each product. In my testing branch, I use the testing product IDs for the checkout.

You can also give yourself discount codes that give 100% off to test directly with the production Paddle account, or just refund yourself if you want to test some real payments.

Would be nice if they had more testing features build in though.

> Also how quickly do they usually respond when you contact them?

Usually after one working day (not on weekends).
> I think the “deeper problem” is thinking that Californians and Iowans share anything in common at all.

This is preposterous and I am flatly surprised that more people are not challenging it. Our differences may be more salient, but they are vastly outnumbered by our similarities. We speak the same language, eat the same foods, watch the same sports. We don't have vastly different goals and values -- we have serious differences of opinion about a tiny fraction of public policy and our shared culture.

What's more, the differences that do exist break down less along state lines and more along the distance from a city center. There are urban areas in every state, and there are rural areas in every state. Iowa and California are different inasmuch as (by the 2010 census) 95% of Californians were urbanized and only 64% of Iowans were.
The social media purge began long before Parler even existed. Yes people are getting banned from Twitter for life for having the wrong political opinions. It you deny that everyone knows you're either dishonest or uninformed.

People on the left are allowed to call for violence and say all kinds of racist things hate filled things, but if someone on the right even says something like "There are only two sexes" that's enough to get banned for life. The only reason the democrats all deny the existence of any double-standard is because MSM and BigTech happen to be in their tribe, so they all dare not call out one of their own.
I find that most are exactly as you mentioned. Definitely depends why you’re reading self help books, but generally speaking, I think that general philosophy and “mental model” books are more useful for evolving your world view.

The other general reason to read self help seems to be to gain practical benefit from concrete knowledge (as opposed to a world view change). In that case I would just suggest psychology or business books (at least the ones that tend to shy away from the self-help genre).
> However, according to the article, it was really hard to get Pornhub to remove illegal videos.

You're saying that if you go to them with a court order, they don't comply with it? So then have the court find them in contempt. This requires no involvement from Visa or Mastercard.

> And since videos could be downloaded and uploaded by anyone, removed videos quickly showed up on the website again and again.

How are they supposed to know it's the same video? Compare every video to every other one? The uploader would presumably just reencode the video or make whatever other changes to evade an automated system, and a manual system is infeasible. And no matter what Pornhub does, there are six quintillion porn hosting sites on the internet and it would just end up on a different one.

The correct answer is for the police to investigate who is continuing to upload them and impose penalties. Then no more uploads, no more video.
Good food is expensive and many Americans can’t afford it. Part of the reality is that fresh food is not easily available, expensive and requires a modicum of skill to prepare into a meal.

More Americans are dependent on processed food than ever. Except that processed food has declined in quality and nutritional value over the past few decades, primarily to keep costs under control. There are confounding factors but this is a key driver.

As the world’s reserve currency, the USD does not experience inflation in the same manner as most other countries. Rather than food prices skyrocketing, quality and optionally portions are reduced to compensate for declining purchasing power.

Exactly, it was open source before Apple came along. Guess GP didn’t realize that WebKit is a fork of KHTML from KDE which was LGPL licensed (if memory serves).

That is untrue. There's no research to support the idea that BMI is a particularly useful tool (compared to, say, neck vs waist circumference) or that the thresholds it sets are meaningful (e.g., that an increase from 24.7 to 24.9 is a lesser or greater increase of risk than an increase from 24.8 to 25.0).
Looks like a ton of work, quite cool!

I don't use a HOTAS all that much, except for when I play Elite: Dangerous - and Elite already has a different site with lots of layout combos (though I forget its name).
Fair point, that's true. I'm in Romania, and even here I have occasional issues. Might even become reason to switch, if they keep recurring (haven't for a while).
WebKit was forked from the LGPL KHTML. Unless Apple wanted to get sued and lose, they needed to release WebKit under the terms of the original code.
That makes it worse than KDE virtual desktops or activities.
Yeah, I think they were talking about the index, and I'm not sure that's true any more. I don't remember the sources, but I remember reading that DDG started relying more on their own indexing and less on Bing about a year ago. And from some testing I did some time ago, it was the case that only 50-60% of the search results on DDG were similar to Bing - meaning it's still a significant source, but not so much as to say DDG is just proxying requests.

It's tax though. They'll get in trouble eventually surely? Having to clean up a tax mess after it's been going on for years (over multiple countries too) is one of my worst nightmares but I feel most people aren't this cautious haha.
I’d like to address this, since it’s a common retort meant to shutdown discussion on censorship. It’s disingenuous , because “First amendment” is so essential to American culture, that it means both the literal First Amendment to the constitution AND more importantly, the American principle of free expression.

Ether you are aware that people are appealing to free expression as a principle, or you are unaware that free expression is more American than apple pie. That’s why I say this retort is disingenuous.

So the legal scope of the literal first amendment doesn’t help the discussion on what people and companies should be doing.

The discussion is about American values and if people, companies and the government should be living up to them. And that’s what people are trying to debate when they say “first amendment”.
Great PBS doc on this recently, describing paper as info tech. The manufacturing process was so cheap in China they literally had blank notebooks for sale to the general public. The Persians or Arabs (don’t remember which) coaxed the manufacturing process out of some captured folks, which eventually made its way to Europe as well. Movable type was the next huge advancement.
I’d be surprised if 24gb is sufficient for 100k users. Back when they switched Synapse to Python3, they showed a graph where the matrix.org homeserver had something like 8-10 syncotron processes consuming 8-10gb each.
Influence yes, but they weren't able to censor communication between two private citizens. Social media is the new telephone.
This is quite interesting. I do wonder if you can bootstrap Linux on it.

I presume it will be a piece of their larger strategy of moving development activity to the cloud by integrating the VSCode/Codespaces+Github+Azure and providing all kinds of conveniences such as language support, git support, easy CI/CD, etc. In that world of integrated deveopment (IDE++, if you will), it wouldn't make sense to sell access to component pieces.
> That’s a very subjective chart

Can you explain? On the site:

> The AllSides Media Bias Chart is more comprehensive in its methodology than any other media bias chart on the Web. While other media bias charts show you the subjective opinion of the one person who made it, our ratings are based based on multipartisan, scientific analysis.

> and by their own admission doesn’t even try to compare for honesty or credibility

I don't think this matters in the context of the point I was making.

> Most of the two R columns routinely run fake or highly selective coverage

Hmm, so this further reduces the number of quality right-leaning sources. Seems to further prove my point. Remember, the chart shows sites with the most traffic.

> There is an enormous difference between an outlet like the New Yorker, which is definitely liberal but also fiercely committed to fact checking, and outlets like Newsmax or The American Conservative which are proudly movement conservatives first and journalists second, if at all.

Maybe, but it doesn't matter in the context of my point. Also, if they are clear about their biases it shouldn't matter, unless presenting outright lies. Many left-leaning sources try to come off like they are objective. Also:

> A leading New Yorker writer omits crucial facts to run interference for Joe Biden against serious allegations of corruption in Ukraine, writes Joe Lauria. [0]

Many left-leaning sources were also guilty of this (twitter going so far as take down the tweet from the NY Post as "hacked information" even though there was zero evidence this was the case, and Facebook de-prioritizing shared link of the same).

This is my opinion and based around some examples I've seen, but I believe that conservative sources have a tougher time making money, because people will attack their ad-partners for supporting those companies. I'd like to see where this happens to left-leaning sources.

> people living now are not and should not be held responsible for the misdeeds of previous generations.

I'm sure we could all agree on this point.

However, the aspects of IBM that led to their assisting the Third Reich are still very much alive at IBM today. It remains in the form of their core business model of assisting the world's most powerful regimes in automating oppression, autocracy, and authoritarianism at a global scale.
Pay is nowhere remotely close to being proportional to impact on revenue though. Many engineers are much more offended by unmeritocratic pay than by absolute value of pay being low - hence why you can convince amazing engineers to work for peanuts at start-ups.

I want the greatest share of the returns of my own labor I can get. If that results in very high salary, great, it’s earned. If I take a risk at a place where that translates to much lower salary, that’s fine too - as long as it’s very objectively meritocratic.

If I am making $200k per year as a top, top performer, while my employer is paying far more mediocre performers $175k (perhaps based of geolocation), or where both of us are bringing in ~ millions of revenue, that’s super unacceptable.

As time goes on, the surplus of my labor productivity that a big corporate employer can capture beyond my total compensation should be decreasing heavily - and expert software labor is one class that has the negotiation power to actually push that issue.

So I’d flip your question on its head. Why do we pretend that rent-seeking executives deserve the surplus revenue generated by rare talented engineers? Why (with complete sincerity) aren’t many, many, many more software engineers paid on the order of what Hollywood actors are making, while executive salaries simply have to come way, way down in these lines of business?
