Nope 60 minutes as a beginner sounds about right with correcting posture and whatnot. Once I was familiar with it that dropped right down. Starting Strength is a very minimal program.

Obviously no one is going to account for commute in how long a program takes. Some take hours to get to the nearest gym and others have home gyms.
I don’t have anything that will make you feel better.

However, you should use this as a learning opportunity. Think back to your decision and try to objectively review your decision making process. Why did you make that decision? What information did you take into account? What other factors were at play?

Knowing what you know now, not counting the price, will you still make the same decision? Why or why not? You said you cannot explain the BTC and ETH price increases. Try to. Why do you think that happened? Could you have predicted those factors better?

Believe it or not, you will face this kind of situation again but you will be better prepared for it if you do some decision analysis.
Nice and consice article. First time I hear of type-driven development.
Are you implying that this:"Humans are not all equal in proclivities or even innate abilities,"

is the cause of this: "Certain demographics are less inclined towards certain jobs"?

If so, I would be interested in what sources inform this opinion.
>sndio is not only available for BSD, it also has a backend for ALSA, so it can run on top of it.

Void Linux has many programs compiled with sndio support now:

* https://docs.voidlinux.org/config/media/sndio.html
You mean like adding systemd and snaps ... that make it harder to run a system in a deterministic manner with easy security updates, etc?
"Linux is fragmented", and then goes on to list Free, Open, Net, Dragonfly and avoids listing a few more. "Poettering creepware". Web developers who use Google Analytics are "stupid".

This is emotion-driven drivel.
I did see the "James Damore saga", and it has nothing to do with "deserving to be there".
It's been multiple decades, "Linux Sucks" still seems to be the only thing BSD advocates talk about.

24 mentions of systemd and 0 mentions of the word "jails", come on, you're not even trying.
I worked on improving the performance of an extension that had to parse the DOM and any mutations.
Performance was horrible in Firefox, not nearly as bad in Chromium browsers but improvements could be found.
What worked: parsing the DOM with a tree-walker (instantly rejecting nodes that didn’t need to be checked, like style tags) and throttling checks with a mutation observer, i.e. mutations would be collected and parsed together after a timeout interval. Wasn’t too difficult, I think that some of these things can be overlooked because front-end engineers typically don’t concern themselves with performance.
> you'll get plenty of attention

But qualitatively different attention IMHO.

Great looking guy with zero personality: shallow attention e.g. one-night stands or pure accessory.

Ugly guy with great personality: veer towards long-term relationships or maybe friend-zoning.
The purpose is to give everyone an even chance, not necessarily to make every profession perfectly balanced.

There are enough claims of sexism that I think it's reasonable to conclude there is at least some sexism present. If you eliminated sexism and there was still a sex imbalance, no one would care.

There is a lot of anger arouns this issue, but when you actually talk to people, just about everyone wants the same thing--equality of opportunity.
Are HiDPI displays supported in BSD?
> Certain demographics are less inclined towards certain jobs.

This is true, but it isn't inherent to those demographics. I, as a male, was not inclined to ballet dancer as a child. That's not because men aren't good at it, it's because in my culture, male ballet dancers were gay, and in my culture gay was one of the worst things a man could be. So if women are less inclined towards software jobs, is it because all, or at least most, women don't have what it takes? Or because their culture doesn't encourage girls to study that?

> Humans are not all equal in proclivities or even innate abilities.

This is such an obvious statement that it doesn't need stating and yet you do, so I'm hearing this as you intending to use it as proof that some demographics are not equal in proclivities or innate abilities, in which case see paragraph above.

> The proposed solution by diversity campaigners is usually some form of discrimination.

This may be true. An improperly considered "diversity initiative" can very much be "hire the insert_whatever_here so we have enough of those people around here", which can feel discriminatory to those who may be more qualified but weren't in the correct demographic, and can feel patronizing to those who may be less qualified but got the job because they were of a certain demographic. But just in case you or someone else takes this to mean we should give up on diversity initiatives, we shouldn't. Failure doesn't mean give up, it means iterate.

> An Asian male has a much, much higher bar to cross to go to university, get a tech job, or otherwise than any other group, for example.

... what?

> Equality of opportunity is a given, while equality of outcome is destructive and racist.

When I read this I hear that the equal opportunity is to be interviewed, but equal opportunity starts at birth. Actually before birth. Does Jeff Bezos' children and a child born into the foster care system have equal opportunity? No. You may argue that the child born into the foster care system has good enough opportunity, and that's the American dream, that anyone can rise above their adversities and make something of themselves. In this case it's a mixed bag. Some do, some don't. You can hear success stories from all kinds of people, but to me it's more significant to look at the people who haven't and won't "make something of themselves" and see if there are patterns. Are certain demographics over-represented in this group of people who aren't "making something of themselves"?

Debugging text is easier and the bulk of the data is binary anyway, so there would be no great file savings with a "pure" binary protocol. That's the same rationale for HTML and text-based internet protocols -- they are easier to write and debug.

This is a particular concern when you're talking about a file format that has to work on wide variety of architectures and operating systems. Having a common ASCII encoding makes it significantly easier to build an interoperable file format.
About a week after the US invasion of Iraq happened, something which New Yorker editor David Remnick heavily pushed, the magazine ran a 10000+ word hit piece on anti-war critic (and theory of computation Chomsky Normal Form creator) Noam Chomsky

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2003/03/31/the-devils-acc...

To pull one thing from this long article - one of the thousands of petitions Chomsky signed over the years was one regarding a French professor named Robert Faurisson. The piece's author wrote:

"Robert Faurisson was a professor of French literature at the University of Lyon-2, in France, who had been suspended from his teaching duties after a mob of students protested his denials of the Holocaust."

This is correct, but something is left out. Faurisson was threatened with prison as well. In fact he got a suspended prison sentence. Chomsky said at the time people should not be imprisoned for publishing books. The piece's author excluded this information from the reader. "He is against governments imprisoning people for writing books" doesn't have quite the ring of the two paragraphs the author wrote on the topic.
There are a lot of misconceptions around freemium and the value of non-paying users. Many of these you can’t see until you’ve gone through the cycle of creating a business, marketing it, getting customers, losing customers, repeat. Here are some of the things I’ve learned, either from experience or in-the-thick-of-it observation.

1. It’s rare for a business to experience dominantly viral, product-driven growth. Most don’t, including the successful ones! The few businesses that do succeed that way tend to attain ubiquity, so people mistakenly assume a free tier is the best path. (This winner’s bias must be a known fallacy, but if so I don’t know its name.)

2. Moving churn earlier in the customer journey speeds up iteration cycles and increases fidelity of feedback. We’ve all seen “hugely successful” apps that get a lot of users but never find a business model. Maybe if they started charging earlier in the customer journey they would have found product-market fit. It is extremely difficult to calculate customer value and pay for marketing without rapid feedback.

3. Not charging users can create hideous feedback loops. Just take a look at Facebook.

4. Free tiers are a consequence of the non-linear reality of venture-backed teams. Backing capitalists prefer a 5% chance of scoring 1,000 than a 50% chance of scoring 10, so they will of course encourage freemium (or rather, metrics like “daily active users”) alongside a whole host of other too-risky-for-most methods.

5. The author is completely correct that those willing to pay are the easiest to serve, and those unwilling to pay are most likely to need help, leave poor reviews, and give misleading feedback.

6. Again as highlighted by the author, the infrastructure behind multiple tiers is way more costly than you’d expect. It’s easy to get caught in the business mechanics when one could be making the product and marketing better. How costly do you think it will be? Multiple that by 3 to get the actual engineer/design hours, now multiple it by 3 again to understand how distracting it can be.

Donald Trump happened in the last 8 years.

He did two major things.

First, he relentlessly attacked the media ("fake news") and regularly called them out on false or misleading stories. (Then the media regularly complained about him eroding their credibility, without admitting that his criticisms were often valid.)

Second, he was incredibly good at manipulation. His signature move was to tell a big fat lie about an issue that he wanted everybody talking about and where his general position was a popular one. The media hated this, because their choices were to let him get away with the lie or to start a conversation about the issue Trump wanted everybody talking about. But then they let their hatred of him become so transparent in their coverage that it undermined their credibility.

> Amazon reserving an a huge orbit and without real data claiming anybody else that want to operate there is only trying to prevent their system. That is unreasonable.

Spacelink reserved a similar huge orbit and said they didn't want the orbit that Amazon wants. Now they changed their mind.

> SpaceX is slightly changing it system (non of its hardware).

Sorry. Not changed their mind, changed their system. Precisely into the system they said they didn't want and Amazon subsequently chose.
> Should it empower you to bypass the terms under which content you're accessing were shared?

I think it's disingenuous to frame it as a "bypass". The publisher is setting out a terms of use, and I think it's bad that the software try to force that I abide by such terms, because:

• the software will be too conservative: there are many situations where it is legal (and even ethical) to ignore such terms, but the software will not recognize them.

• there will be alternative software which does not enforce such terms, making it worthless as an actual protection measure.

• like I said, I think my machine and the software runs on it ought to represent me and my interests. I would certainly hesitate before installing software that put others' interests above my own, no matter how well-intentioned.

> Have you considered that maybe that's disempowering other people using the same tool?

No, but I'd be more open to the thought if you'd provide a compelling example.
I prefer a different phrase for "Machine Learning", credit goes to someone else here on HN.

Cognitive Automation.
Machine learning isn't about a machine "learning" per se.

It is about automating a repetitive task that has clearly defined goals that usually requires a human to look at and think about, however briefly.

Sounds dull, but could be brilliant in so many small ways, leaving the master of such technologies time to properly cogitate.

Anything that removes mundane, repetitive bullshit from my life is great.

Of course, will the balance of "removing the mundane bullshit" from an Authoritarian governments life be worth it?

> "How did things get this bad?" What are you talking about? It's a great time to be a C++ programmer!

I think like most things C++, the modern solutions are great, but a large number of programmers are still stuck with legacy systems that they cannot or will not change for a variety of reasons.

I don't think there is a magic bullet for people experiencing these problems in legacy codebases - it's either update to a more modern build system and use libraries within that ecosystem, or learn how to work around the potential issues outlined in the original article.

This conclusion doesn't stand up. If the most popular network skews 93% republican, the alternatives are going to skew democrat regardless of how balanced they are.

You coulda just said “yeah”.

I did but I’ll make it more clear: I licensed my content to you, with the expectation you would honor my license. If you use the technology I distribute my licensed content to you to violate that license you’re undermining my ability to determine the terms under which I distribute my content.

Yes, travesty—but caused by intense commercial competition and what you could call “hub war”. The new LG CX TV+ wants to be the media hub; the new Denon audio-visual receiver wants to be the AVR+ hub for all sources and outputs. Then we have Netflix via the TV or via Apple TV etc. Competitive chaos until a few integrated packages win by securing 2-5 million sales a year minimum.

The only players I can imagine pulling this off are Sony and Apple. Do they bring 3D back? Do they force use of their speakers? Time seems right for either to jump.

Actually most military recruits now come from the middle classes. Largely because so many lower class youths fail to meet recruiting standards due to having a criminal record, health problems, poor fitness, history of drug use, or lack of high school diploma. Most enlistment contracts only last a few years. In some cases those have been forcibly extended through a stop loss order, but that doesn't last for decades.
How do you compete with them on any other talented employee who they pay top dollar for and are willing to train via internships? You provide them with things they cannot get at those companies.

In my experience it's not difficult to find great minority engineers if you build a culture that is actually inclusive. Few companies really do that, large or small, and retention of minority engineers is abysmal at large companies.

I’ve looked pretty hard at moving my fairly large Postgres RDS to Aurora and the pricing is just very scary. I have a single 100GB instance running on fairly minimal hardware and serving a Django site with 6k monthly visitors. My usage is pretty concentrated during 9-6pm EST as I mainly serve US law firms and investment funds. Any idea if that will end up costing me a fortune to go Aurora? I’m worried about all of those requests in a short amount of time leading to it spinning up a lot of instances.
Since this is the top comment currently, I will respond here. At one point in time I had a rather popular ML/AI textbook I offered in PDF format with some restrictions. I, at the time, thought most users would be reasonable and respect those restrictions. Unfortunately you as many others decided to no respect those restrictions. I cannot say it is due to that but my book was one of the more popular epubs/azw's on a few torrent trackers in the mid-to-early 2000's. I love that people are able to access these things, but it would be great if people who could, would donate money to pay for the production of these materials. Overall I got $1502.56 for my publishing a 1086 page text book which took about 2.6 years of my life. Obviously this is my throwaway account so try not to link this back to the actual book.
The same MSNBC that shat on AOC up till it was obvious she was going to be a progressive darling/favorite among a portion of MSNBC viewers, mocked Ron Paul repeatedly*, and have never covered Bernie Sanders close to the way they cover the Democratic establishment? MSNBC is nothing like the lefts Fox.

I completely agree with the point of hating the “other” guy’s news. I don’t think the vast majority of people distrust mainstream media. At least not their favorite outlets. NYT being beloved by a lot of my friends as one easy glaring example of typical highly educated well paid “liberal coastal elites”

* principled progressives/hard left have quite a bit in common with principled libertarians. Ron Paul being one. Not his son though. Chapo Traphouse for example can recognize Ron Paul being legit. Or Jon Stewart for a more mainstream example.

This post is mostly Linux FUD. I don’t understand what’s the use of this.

Actually I always found it funny and a little brave that Linus called ZFS a buzzword. In my opinion he’s right. ZFS breaks a lot of use cases but unless you know what you’re talking about you’re going to think it’s the end-all. I slightly prefer the MD-RAID system.
At what point does "this country has a lot of foundational issues with racism and specifically white supremacy in politics" become relevant to an article about politics?

This point is that the kind of people that are accepting "bribes", as the author calls them, are overwhelmingly white men. Yes, you could say that that's just be because the majority of appointees to relevant positions are white. But that author is implicitly pointing out that maybe the fact that they're mostly white is actually relevant to the discussion.
