I actually thought there had been more of these.
It must be confusing to be a boy these days with all the conflicting messaging on how they should or should not be. The expectations of men are conflicting, confusing, uneven, and ever-changing. Equality is thrown around, with many exceptions across the board. Men simply bite their tongues in society, and are expected to do so without much complaint. Men are told to share their feelings, but then ignored or shamed when they try. It's a very confusing time for men/boys - I have a daughter and a son. I feel like my daughter can do anything, and will be fine in the future. I can't same the same for my son these days, I worry the paths he will have to choose.

I wonder if you work with my mother... But seriously. She works for a guy who over his career has made a net-worth of ~50 million (deals in real estate). He has always kept his employee's salaries just above minimum wage, kept the employee numbers down to avoid having to dish out benefits, and so on... Nice guy, but basically made his wealth by treating him employees like pseudo-slaves.
Yep, transforms in Plot are totally optional — you can do them outside of plotting if it’s more convenient for you, say using Arquero, and it tends to be efficient since you can supply Plot with columnar data. But having transforms integrated with plotting is convenient for fast exploration, especially since it plays nicely with faceting.

We allude to this in overview, but yes it is our intention to leverage Observable’s dataflow for interactivity, both for any cell to drive what is shown in a plot, and for the plot to drive computation in downstream cells. E.g., you can brush a scatterplot and then show the selected data in a table. Observable Plot is designed to work with Observable Inputs (or anything else interactive):

https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/inputs

Plot is designed to leverage Observable’s language-level interactivity (dataflow) rather than design a new interaction system that is limited to within the visualization.
I can't seem to make head and tails of this data. I guess the explanation would be that older men are dating younger women, which explains why younger men are single compared to younger women. But looking at the distribution, it seems it would need to come from the 65+ cohort... And that would be a little surprising.

We have a public high school around me that is for STEM students. It has limited seats available. It is not only based on prior grades but on essays about why you deserve to go and stuff. It ends up rejecting many students every year. I can see requiring an entrance exam or prior grades to prove you have the ability and won't be slowing people down, but this goes way beyond that.

I wonder how it can be that one has the desire and aptitude to succeed there and the public school can deny people that opportunity. That just seems antithetical to public education.

To me it feels like this is the opposite of capitalism. The free flow of capital is impeded by monopolies amassing huge fortunes. Just like a clogged pipe, the free flow is then blocked and regulated by such forces. Not ideal for the overall market.

I suppose the best reply to this is that for a healthy romantic/sexual relationship to exist the partners in it must already be basically emotionally healthy, including having the coping skills and support to deal with their own emotional disregulation if it exists.

It's wonderful to see happy partners in lifelong relationships. That is almost certainly a sign of individual emotional maturity and self-regulation. Those people would be happy in or out of that particular relationship (absolutely not discounting the intense grief of losing a lifelong partner, but the emotional resilience to start enjoying life again), and the ones you mention clearly have strong and healthy relationships with other people as well.

Unhappiness with life before finding a partner demonstrates that there is something fundamentally wrong. People feel too lonely, or too insignificant, or too unloved, or too undervalued, or some other excess of negative emotion that at its root is unhealthy self image or mental health issue and needs to be dealt with independently of whether or not that person is in a partnership. Validation from a relationship can certainly mask the underlying negative emotion, but there's a big risk that at some point a partner's validation will stop working and the person will become unhappy again but put the blame on the partner or the details of the relationship without realizing that it's the same internal emotional problem that was always there. Almost certainly if the relationship ends the person will think the partner left because of the incorrect belief they have about themselves due to negative emotions, e.g. "I was unlovable" or "I wasn't attractive enough".

> There is a bizarre (and imo destructive, and toxic) idea that seems to be running through tech especially that devotion to your partner is rooted in "jealousy". It usually leads to "maybe you guys should become polyamorous. What are you jealous?"

That is indeed toxic. Jealousy is a natural feeling; it can be rooted in some negative beliefs but not always. To me it feels like a fair mix of instinctual response from relationship preference and underlying fears. Unfortunately for the folks you mention instinctual jealousy is a pretty strong indication of a preference for monogamy and not for polyamory. In contrast what I've heard called "compersion" is a feeling of shared joy and happiness about a polyamorous partner's experiences with other partners, distinct from any sort of fetishization of another relationship (which while not necessarily unhealthy is distinct from simple happiness at a partner's happiness). Jealousy for me has usually been rooted in fear of loss; loss of a relationship or fear of missing out. For monogamous people jealousy is also rooted in, for lack of a better word... Monogamy. It's probably the majority relationship preference.
Nowhere in the parent post does he seem looking down on anybody. Stating that life can be a whole lot better with the right partner is a morally neutral statement
Even for read-only use cases?

I've talked to _lots_ of folks who have nearly 100% IaC coverage, including folks who only expose read-only console access to the majority of their devs. But I haven't met anyone who has successfully managed to avoid logging in to the console during production incidents to debug things.

I don't think it's generally worthwhile to argue with people whose arguments center around "I love my wife and you cannot tell me that's not okay." Lots of these responses read as though people are feeling attacked, which isn't a great baseline to start any reasonable conversation.

Been seeing this with UPS after the Texas snow storm. Packages were canceled or delivered late, often missing parts of it, for over a month. It's an obvious problem with homebuilders, too. I keep seeing all these constructions just halt all work, sometimes for a few weeks or months, sometimes for a couple years. They seem to operate with absolutely no margin for error and run out of money really easily.
CTRL-S in a terminal command-line? That doesn't seem likely as you're never in a "save-mode thought" on the CLI.

Funny, I used to have ctrl-s muscle memory, then 10 years of primarily developing on mac got me used to cmd-s since mac keyboards are so annoying. now when i switch between mac/win/linux it's just a constant mess of pressing the wrong special key combos. Almost as bad switching between scripting languages and forgetting if a function starts with func, proc, sub, def, etc... (yes, I know you can swap special keys on mac: i tried it and it creates way more headaches than it solves.)
Here’s a counter argument: maybe Gloria doesn’t need to have defined tasks for every hour of every day, but it absolutely could not hurt for her to make proactive decisions that fill her time when she isn’t busy tending to Tony’s schedule.

Ideally, an organization would be able to attract the candidates that would spend their free time doing constructive things. This _would_ be an org where everyone is busy all the time.

Suggesting that it’s always OK to be doing nothing when we don’t have a pressing task in the name of “Slack” is not what the author intends (in my interpretation) and absolutely a waste of the extremely powerful minds we have as humans.

> You literally said that even if the billionaire is right (i.e. knows better how to improve people's lives with philanthropy), he should still give up his money. Your argument has nothing to do with morality, and everything to do with authoritarianism.

He should give up his money because if you are a part of society and benefit from it, that obliges you to contribute to the maintenance of that society. It isn't about authoritarianism and your attempts to equate the two is ridiculous.

> No, we're talking about a society's allocation of resources. If a government cannot or will not allocate them to the benefit of a society, it has no moral right to them.

Then it should be replaced, or abandoned. The solution is not eating your cake and having it too and pretending that is righteous.

> This entire argument started out of the claim that billionaires getting tax breaks for philanthropy is wrong; that they should instead redirect that wealth to governments to do with as they will. If the actions of the government will do less good than whatever ends that philanthropy would have led to, then it is wrong to demand that the money be wasted that way.

Getting a tax break, an exemption. Not that all the philanthropy should go away, merely that they don't deserve special exemption for it... Which isn't even something I'm arguing!

I jumped in to point out that governments appear to waste money because people have different opinions of where money should go and the government represents people. It will always appear wasteful to somebody.

Then this whole thing somehow devolved into trying to justify tax evasion as a valid form of protest, which I find absolutely ridiculous.

> So your argument is that billionaires giving money to philanthropic causes

I never said that philanthropy was wrong. I said people should pay their taxes. Would you kindly stop trying to strawman me as an authoritarian populist who hates charity or whatever the fuck crazy nonsense you'll think of next?

Yes, in a variety of ways. All marks currently support native tooltips (the title channel), and in the near future we’ll be releasing more interactions that you can compose into the chart, e.g. for brushing or pointing. As I mentioned in another comment here, Plot is designed to leverage Observable’s language-level interactivity (dataflow) — so all plots are reactive by default, and plots can expose an interactive selection to the rest of the notebook.

But you are moving the goalposts, the statement in discussion is this:

> I got absurdly lucky when I found my wife, but I spent every day without her more or less miserable.

This is not healthy, doesn't matter how much you care about your partner and relationship. Feeling miserable every day without someone is not a good sign.

You can be much happier when you are with your partner, you can enjoy to spend most days with your partner, that's natural. Not enjoying a single day without them is pretty alarming.

The medical term for what you are talking about is compassion fatigue. It's symptoms look a lot like depression: "People who experience compassion fatigue may exhibit a variety of symptoms including lowered concentration, numbness or feelings of helplessness, irritability, lack of self-satisfaction, withdrawal, aches and pains, or work absenteeism."

No, because they aren’t referring to the same groups. Prostitution was historically only acceptable for men, while women were forced to either have a husband or be celibate. At least, in terms of social acceptability.

Today, the restrictions have more or less been removed for both genders.

Again, not saying it “was better back then”, just pointing out what’s changed.
> In 1953, 13 companies produced 3.4 million kilograms of fish sticks. A year
later, four million kilograms were produced by another 55 companies. This surge
in popularity was partly due to a marketing push that stressed the convenience
of the new food: “no bones, no waste, no smell, no fuss,” as one Birds Eye
advertisement proclaimed.

A dirty lie, at least when it comes to "no waste", when you consider that the
skin, head and tail of the fish, or about 1/3 of its edible tissue, is thrown
away as garbage, and lucky if it's made into pet food.

This is the convenience and advantage of rearing entire generations on food that
doesn't look like food: that they never wonder what happened to the rest of the animal.

No respect for an other living thing.
The first-order difference seems to be: Plot looks designed to be quicker to learn and take less syntax when you want to throw something generic up quickly, with an API carefully designed to get out of the way.

One of the things I have previously found Javascript to lack compared to Matlab, R, Python, or Julia (or Excel for that matter) for doing exploratory data analysis is a standard dead-simple plot tool when you want to draw a bar chart or scatter plot without thinking about it or making any up-front decisions.

Vega-lite (and especially D3) make it possible to make pretty and sophisticated charts with lots of bells and whistles, but I still find vega-lite heavyweight when I want a plot right now. This would surely get easier with experience, but for a newcomer it still adds noticeable friction.
