Just as https://status.signal.org/ says, I have a popover text in Signal on the phone that says "Signal is experiencing technical difficulties. We are working hard to restore service as quickly as possible."

In light colored text over a light yellow background, even though Signal is in dark mode. Because no bug report is worth giving if the user isn't gonna find things to complain and nitpick about.

Using DeltaChat in a mirror membership multi-user group chat in the meantime. Got partial success getting peeps to install yet another app last Signal outage, hopefully this will get us over the hill (EDIT) as a basic Signal backup.

As mildy annoying as this is, thank you Signal for all the messaging, picture gallery, and video / audio chat functionality given to me for FREE, without even doing the surveillance capitalism sneaky monetization. I'm also glad they seem to be working on UUID-based chats without requiring phone numbers, which I think is cool.
Everyone will be different, and unfortunately sex is an extremely sensitive topic that is rife to end up in either flame wars or a bunch of jokes, despite it being a serious, personal, nuanced topic. In my culture personally (American), it also seems to be one constantly suppressed from conversation outside of maybe medical talks.

And in my experience on the internet, we're still a very, very, very long way from creating a community that can civilly speak on the topic. Heck, maybe even IRL; cultures as a whole still can't even agree with what kinds of sexual content is legal to sell (not even age-gated, just outright denying a consenting adult the choice to buy professionally made content), so this may be a while. It may not even be resolved in my lifetime.

On a personal level, I'm fine with the myriads of porn I have stashed about my house. But I can't take cat girl out for a quick lunch and chat about the day. I miss friends.
This is accurate. When I was 18-24 life sucked, because all the younger women were still in high school, and almost all of the women my own age were hooking up with older guys. The sweet spot for men starts around the late 20s.

My hypothesis is that this is because of a pretty significant gap in EQ and maturity between young men and women. Also women’s prime reproductive years (physically) are from late teens to early 30s. Men’s prime years to be able to support their partners is usually starting around 30s. Makes sense when you think of it like that.
Agree. Cocktail sauce with extra horseradish is great on all types of seafood - oysters, shrimp, fish, etc...
From a computer science perspective, context switching is hugely expensive in humans, and that's why they are not good at multitasking.

Strictly speaking, even computers don't execute multiple tasks in parallel, at least not on the same core. Even with hyperthreading, each step in the pipeline can only work on one datum at a time. Computation is always serialised, and any context switching comes at a cost. It's just that in computers this cost doesn't matter so much, and/or it's outweighed by the benefits of weaving tasks into each other.

Nevertheless, Multitasking is a myth, technically.
>8-year-old bug reports to which someone submitted a damn patch to fix the bug two years ago, yet they're still sitting open with the last "me too" comment three weeks ago and a bunch of folks begging Google to apply the patch.

This isn't only something developers dealt with, there were user facing bugs like this.

I'm so glad we're finally getting real Linux phones because Android was awfull.
The "Embeddable" in Embeddable Common Lisp means that you can embed your CL code in C programs, not that it's for embedded programming. Probably a poor naming choice because a lot of people have this perception about it.

I feel like you're reading that text differently. I don't think they're saying "if my wife or I are apart for a few days [business trip or something], then I'm miserable", but rather "I was miserable before I found the relationship with my wife, but we can perfectly well be apart for normal business trips without issue."
How does your company handle digital nomads, residency, and taxes?
Our company was getting a lot of questions about working while traveling for personal reasons during Covid.

Given that we're a smaller company with a centralized workforce primarily located in one state that isn't California or New York, leadership is worried about a traveling employee accidentally establishing nexus or residency in another state, or us as employees becoming personally becoming liable for income taxes in another state.

To help with this, HR created a policy on how long we can work in any one state, how long we should be working from state of residency, etc. It's actually pretty solid guidance I think, but it made me wonder how other organizations handle this.

Are you allowed to work from other states? Does your company have a policy for working while traveling for personal reasons?

Linux distros that are needlessly moving config files with every upgrade do more damage than conf. directives
Wow this is crazy. But at the same time, it could be an interesting solution for other disputed borders around the world. Leaders are often obsessed with drawing a clean line between 2 areas but reality is a lot more messy and nuanced.
> Don't try to kiss/etc her without asking permission. Norms around when it's ok to flirt (almost never appropriate). All of these kinds of negative rules made interactions with women feel like a minefield to me

Is the "don't kiss her without permission" really they difficult? And frankly the same with flirting.

If these make women minefield, I don't see how to make it better without sacrificing women who fly want to be kissed or flirted with while they have presentation at work.
Let this be the moment when the pendulum began to swing back in the conservative direction. Conservatives get a lot of things wrong but not all of it.
> This looks really cool, but there are dozens of apps and filters out there that do stuff like this, no?

Such filters live in 2D, optics in 3D - part of why most filter for things like "bokeh" don't work particularly well is that without an accurate depth map you are guessing or ignoring that 3rd dimension.

On the flip side - this stuff is aesthetic, so there isn't one "proper" way to do it.
I wonder if it is a biological thing. My wife excels at multitasking but I can barely do two things at a time. I did notice the delayed speech with my wife as well.
It also has a different meaning in business. This blog is tailored to software requirements I think.
Dark.Fail Got Hijacked
Almost everything on /r/relationships can be boiled down to poor communication on the part of one or more parties. Seriously. If everyone were taught proper communication and confrontation skills, there would be a lot more happy people on this earth.

Dead bedrooms: instead of making a spreadsheet of your wife's excuses and passive aggressively emailing it to her, talk to her without anger or blame, explain how you feel, get a sense for how she feels, and make a plan to address the issue.

Incels similarly have terrible communication skills and most probably wouldn't be incels today if they learned how to communicate. Their worldview is a way to cope with their issue without admitting they have an issue; by blaming another group (women) for the issue.

I did some phone phreaking when I was a kid. Wrote a Basic program to control the modem to randomly try out local numbers that can call long distance because most of the cool BBS with lots of warez were long distance at that time.

It went well for a while. But then one of my parents’ friends called my home and couldn’t get through because my program ran for hours tying up the line. He called the phone company to complain. The phone company investigated and my parents got mad at me, and that’s the end of my phreaking career. I was mad at that friend for snitching.

I can recommend watching Andrew Sorensen's keynote "Symbolic expressions for cyber-physical programming". Simply fascinating (the first session of the conference).
> "we reject ideas of natural gifts and talents" this is the direct quote from the document.

It’s a dishonestly-presented decontextualized excerpt from the middle of a sentence, excluding the thesis of the sentence and references. The full sentence is: All students deserve powerful mathematics; we reject ideas of natural gifts and talents (Cimpian et al, 2015; Boaler, 2019) and the “cult of the genius” (Ellenberg, 2015). They aren’t rejecting the idea that gifts and talents exist, they are denying particular ideas about natural gifts and talents, specifically, that the ideas, silent and expressed, among educators that natural gifts and talents are the critical determinants of individual success in mathematics (this is explored in fairly extensive detail in the paragraphs preceding the bulleted list the excerpt draws a tiny piece out of one bullet point from) and justify exclusionary gating on mathematics education.
Thanks for the perspective!

It’s a pretty big, well known brand in the UK :)
I'm coming at this more from a B2B perspective.

Certainly there were computer mag reviews of products and I'm honestly somewhat split on the transition from "expert" and theoretically unbiased reviews to a much more heavily crowdsourced set of reviewers. Not sure I'd call modern online crowdsourced reviews "magical."
There are A LOT of claims itt, and not nearly enough sources for any of it.

It feels like you're right, but what "feels right" turns out to be wrong pretty often.

Absolutely insane. I wonder how much cheaper and better a modern car could be if I didn't have to pay for legally-mandated safety features that A) are probably not utilitarian B) I don't even use.

For example, I am 100% certain that the benefit of having an airbag between my legs does not outweigh the monetary cost plus the comfort cost of not having an AC vent under the steering wheel.

> And it filters the rest.

If this is a goal, reduce the number of scams, then OK. If the goal is to reduce the percentage of people scammed or how much scammers extract from the platform, I'm not convinced those are met. And that's even before talking about the other sides of the tradeoff.
> create a feedback loop amongst themselves that results in literally mass murder.

I dispute that causation. Mass murderers are extreme outliers that usually have identifiable mental problems, and I would say the primary cause of their behavior is those mental problems, not whatever particular thing they say triggered them. Also, even if you did show that a certain ideological group was significantly overrepresented among mass murderers, you would have to rule out the other methods of causation (e.g. this guy is a loner because of various problems, and he joined this group of loners because they welcomed him—doesn't mean the group caused him to go commit the murders, and in fact it's conceivable that being in the group reduces the likelihood of the potential murderers actually going and doing it).

How is a new lens design made nowadays, and is there much innovation still in lens design? I mean, seems like aside from zoom lenses, the designs were done (by hand! and slide rule) 100 to 50 years ago.

What do you do now? Have a ray tracing linear solver with constraints about refractive index, desired weight, number of elements, distortions, etc. (and cost!) factor all these things in and see what multiple lens stack it comes out with? Or is it just small variations on known proven designs now?
I liked the ones that had been auto-closed then manually re-opened like 5 times because it'd survived that many major versions. Entirely not kidding about more than once seeing that someone had pasted a patch file for like a 1-2 line fix in the bug thread and been begging Google to look at it for years.

[EDIT] To Google's credit, it was possible to write a patch for their OS, unlike iOS. Working against them is the fact that they don't seem to give a damn, so it hardly matters.

How is Florida law when it comes to non-competes? I personally believe that non-competes being non enforceable in California is what created Silicon Valley in the first place. Hard to have a startup culture when your current employer can block you.
Many regulations cannot be local because of basic game theory. Beggar-thy-neighbour policies, for example; if one region allows a little more pollution and attracts industry because of that, then other regions are forced to do the same or lose out. As a result industry socializes the cost of its pollution and takes a private profit. Similar effects occur for safety standards, consumer standards, employment standards, tax, and so on.

I just don't think people value sexual compatibility enough.

If you aren't compatible sexually then you are not compatible.

I have been married twice. My first wife was practically my "soul mate", we had the same taste in everything. We were best buds, everything was perfect besides our sex life sucked. It always led to conflict and problems.

My wife now we have almost nothing in common when it comes to taste, art, music, hobbies, nothing. We have an amazing sex life though. I couldn't be happier.

That is not how it works in the movies. I am supposed to meet my first wife and live happily ever after. It is the difference between real life and fiction.
I haven't found a good site. Some thoughts why: I'm busy, and technically minded. Most in the biomedical community are busy; far fewer are technically minded, and many more of my colleagues prefer the company of their wives and children to reading random nerdy things on the internet. Twitter is beloved, in part because it's short and episodic, and if the bleep goes off you can leave it behind without a great loss. Many colleagues do read Reddit, etc, but tend to explicitly avoid anything on-topic that isn't either provided by a learned body or a paper.

I experienced different "spirits" for sure. Pachamama, the "techno-demons" as someone referred to, at points I saw a sea of souls as I was being taken on a boat -- I forgot what that "underworld" spirit is called. I saw a huge golden bird multiple times. All very interesting phenomena.

The only thing I'd refer to as maybe experiencing "God" was when I went into a white light. At that point I have very little recollection of what actually happened. I remember going in, and then everything was white, there was no concept really of time, or of me, or of anything else like that. I wasn't "seeing" anything, it was all just white. Coming out felt extremely "weird," everything felt so full of meaning and "spiritual" for lack of a better word. There was no personification of "God" there, but it was just a feeling. The one thing I do remember when I was there in that light was a deep feeling of peace and one-ness.

I don't know if that's all helpful, but it's what I experienced, at least.
Depression and anxiety usually reduce libido.

Edit: Also an unhappy relationship often can lead to poor sex, depression, and anxiety.
Maybe I'm just used to it, but I don't find PowerPC assembly language unreadable. Or at least no less readable than any other RISC assembly, and no one complains especially about ARM or MIPS.
I recognize those symptoms. Happens to me too when stress levels have been constantly elevated for a while. Usually that's also when stupid errors start creeping into what I do. I think it might be an early sign of burnout.
It isn't redefining anything. There's a classification in AI research called "strong AI" that includes Artificial General Intelligence and machine consciousness. Current uses of ML are instances of so-called "weak AI" which is focused on problem-solving and utility.

No redefinition, and using proper distinctions takes nothing away from the accomplishments made in the field. We don't even have anything close to a scientific understanding of awareness or consciousness. Being able to create machines actually possessing awareness seems fairly far off.

Being able to create machines that can simulate the qualities of a conscious being, doesn't seem so far off. I suspect when we get there the data will point to there being a qualitative difference between real consciousness and simulated. Commercial interests, and likely government bureaucracy will have a vested interest drowning out such ideas, though.

The bar hasn't moved. We've just begun aiming at different targets. That we succeed in hitting the more modest ones only makes sense.
Yeah, but the loss of sanity usually cancels out the productivity gains.

Right, my current FAANG-tier company does four-year vesting with no cliff (I say this because one of their counter-arguments was that "there is no cliff" with Lyft's vesting schedule -- but it is NOT any sort of meaningful advantage if you can already get that with normal pro-employee 4-year vesting schedules).

The ample growth in stock price since I had joined my current company has encouraged me to stay the full four years (and I know that tech companies have trouble with retention).

FYI Stripe also implemented this "innovative" vesting schedule as well. I was even going to interview with them because I was extremely bullish about their company's prospects. What a shame.

This is a YC forum. If anybody can pull strings at Stripe to get them to try to change back to normal four-year vesting, I would interview there tomorrow!

There's also an ongoing "boycott" thread on Blind towards companies that do one-year re-vesting. Apparently others have the same sentiment.
So, you agree then, that a person who spent a decade in isolation is probably not the best person to get opinions on regarding social interactions regarding the average person?

Use your own definitions, for these words, if you are confused about the definitions of words.

This premise is directly related to my answer here. So there is no possible way that I will be able to describe anything to you, regarding this topic, if you are unable to agree to this other statement.
Did you even read the article? We are discussing this topic from a sympathetic standpoint. Sure, the idea of "destigmatize prostitution" is an over simplified magic bullet, but so is your response. And their point would probably do more towards alleviating the problem than yours honestly. You're basically saying "want to solve the problem? That's easy: solve the problem."

Different people want different things. Prostitutes want money. Maybe "being the kind of man women want to fuck" includes being the kind of man prostitutes want to fuck, that is, being willing to give them money for sex.

The problem we are discussing is that some people aren't desirable for some reason they don't know how to do something about. Reality is harsh, that's why in order to get to the bottom of it you need more nuance. A lot of men out there want you to draw them a picture with crayons that depicts what "put themselves together" means. If they knew what it meant they'd do it in a heartbeat. Now the one thing they don't understand, that's not necessarily a solution to their problems but would still help them understand, is that there's not a one size fits all crayon drawing of that it means. Absolute statements like yours and the one you're replying to don't help much if at all.
