This line all but confirms it
By your argument, many people also voluntarily chose to stay home. Plenty of people continued flying, going on spring break, going to clubs, etc throughout the pandemic if there were no legal lockdowns.
I don't know, the UI seems screwed up to me. They should have scrolled vertically, for one. It's more natural to people and mice design.
I have a C906 and while it's fun, it's very very slow by 2021 standards: single core, scalar in-order @ 1.0 GHz with no L2$.

The upcoming BeagleV is a lot faster (I have the beta): quad core, dual issue in-order @1.5 GHz (TBD) with 2 MiB L2.

I'm expecting (guessing) that the triple-issue OoO P550 would be 5-10X faster at iso-frequency, but if history repeats it'll be four+ years before we see it in silicon for sale.
Papers like these are almost comedic if they weren't depressing. What this paper describes is real but also a meme. Incel hate communities are surprisingly large and tend to badly fly under the radar by expressing opinions through memes, which may make them seem more of a 'joke'. But the actual commentators on that meme then express the actual intent of it, as seen on Reddit, youtube, the various chans, etc.

I don't see this phenomenon getting better. It's very unpopular but in my experience some of the points raised by incel communities aren't wrong. The problem is they take something that may be correct and then act on it in entirely the wrong way. For example, Tinder, POF, and other "dating" apps are overwhelmingly comprised on Men seeking Women [0], with women seeking something like the top 10% of men. In market terms this means there's a severe problem in supply/demand wherein Women have plenty of supply and are more concerned about quality. Anecdotally I've seen this on Fetlife. If you have a PFP of a woman and show up on the listings you'll be bombarded with messages of sexual offerings. If you have a man PFP you will have to put in significant work to build your reputation, talk to people, and have the physical qualities necessary.

What some incels fail to realize, and others actively exploit, is that all those offerings and attention have risk attached to them. If by telling a man "no thank you" you're verbally abused, slandered about, stalked, harassed, and overall treated as if you are required to serve this man - is that really "privledged"? It can be in a small minority, but from what I've seen the average person is not at all prepared to deal with that and you end up being abused simply for being a women.

One of the most concerning parts of Inceldom though is how much younger men comprise it. Why is it young men, and not men in their 30's-40's no longer youthfully attractive? Perhaps I'm wrong and I would like to be, but I have seen an uptick in young women for older men. I know that much of it starts from the internet, where older men are essentially legal predators whom know all the right words to say and have the resources to carry it out. Perhaps this problem isn't new though - I talked to some older women about this and have gotten largely the same response: "Men appreciate with age, women depreciate.".

I don't believe inceldom is entirely artificial, and if we ignore the reasons for it out of hand we're going to see a natural result where it just continues to increase because people don't want to understand why nor address it. If someone is an individual whom struggles with the problems above, they are going to be more inclined to join inceldom if everyone outside of it dismisses the root causes and labels it.

These are just my broken opinions, this subject is far larger and can be an entire book.

I graduated high school in 1988, and made the same assumption. I don't think anybody explicitly said it to me, but it seemed obvious. They're plenty smart and they're sufficiently good at English (often, flawless).

I still don't entirely understand why it turns out to be so hard to outsource. I get some of it, but it seems like something that we should have figured out by now. I'll be interested to see what the post-pandemic shift to remote work does for that.
Which is the best argument for WFH, really. At 3h a day + 1h commuting, it's 6h a day wasted for being in an office, crazy.

The 'anti-gay' stance was that he donated to a campaign for prop 8 in California; that preposition passed. So he was guilty of agreeing with the majority of voters in California.

It's not that odious of a sin (and I disagree with Eich, incidentally). Should the majority of California citizens be canceled, permanently? Not allowed any leadership positions?
A Conservative Activist Invented the Conflict over Critical Race Theory
I mean; stats wise, maybe. But many wage/costs are relative and proportional and not everybody in USA is equal.

I was born in a developing country and lived through a brutal civil war; and there are certainly millions of people in USA, working hard, but staying poor, whose quality of life is comparable in various categories in terms of suffering. You can fall through cracks in a very cracked system very easily. It's not like all 330mil Americans have it great.
Yeah having the same device, software, and websites I use for work also able to connect to things I use for not work does not help my ADHD.
A citation or some kind of further explanation would be more valuable than an effective "no it doesn't" response.
I'm not totally convinced it's better than plurality. The link I shared shows some effects that I see as pretty disqualifying in a voting system. Beyond that, vote spoilage tends to increase with ranked systems in a way that is also pretty concerning, given that complex ballots have been used as tools of voter suppression in the US in the past. I'm all for changing away from plurality voting, but I think it's worth taking a more critical look at the results IRV produces.
This depends, if an individual sacrifices more in the short-term to achieve better long-term outcomes as defined by themselves then it can be quite positive.

The problem is when short-term sacrifice is simply short term sacrifice or will likely result in reduced expectations for the future.
Not something I could easily dig up - it's been a few years now since I last looked in on any of this, and all the convenient summaries like this one insisted that they were part of some universal "manosphere" that could be painted with a broad brush and didn't care about or believe any denunciations of hateful acts or other groups back then too.
Collateral requirements would generally only apply to plaintiffs (the people suing), requiring collateral for the defendant is obviously problematic...

You would expect the value to be set by the court as an approximation of the amount of fees that they might award to the defendant (which in turn is an approximation of what a reasonable defense might cost), as the lawsuit goes on you would expect the court to periodically increase the collateral requirements on the plaintiff, since the total cost to defend the suit has gone up.

Small, legitimate, companies having to put up collateral is an unfortunate side effect, but if they have good claims (and can convince a lender of that) they should be able to finance it... so that's probably not the end of the world? It does seem like a bit of an access to justice problem, not really sure how I feel about it.

> They have to do the said research and put quite a lot of money in it (which is what makes those patents valuable and arguably a benefit to society as a whole), and that distinguishes them from an average patent troll.

This is true if they license the patent directly to the manufacturers, but that's not necessarily the case. It seems entirely reasonable for a company to discover a drug, patent it (so they have something to sell), and then sell the patent to another company that deals with licensing it out to drug companies.

A license management company (aka patent troll) in the middle comes with a number of benefits:

- Chances are there's still a lot of risk associated with that drug, e.g. it might fail in human trials, by selling the patent immediately you reduce your risk.

- Licensing patents is not your core competency as a drug discovery company, it makes sense to have an entity that handles licensing for the patents invented by many different drug-discovery companies.

- You might, for whatever reason, want to stop operating as a drug discovery company. Maybe you want to retire. This shouldn't wipe out the worth of your previous work.

Generally, assets being transferable seems like a good thing. A lot of our society is based upon that principle... and if patents are transferable, it seems inconsistent to say "you can do X with asset Y, and so can most other companies, but not if the only thing a company does is doing X to assets Y". Inconsistencies like that generally lead to weird arbitrage opportunities and inefficiencies in society...

I'm in a relationship with someone who can't quite put together that certain activities and certain moods are correlated. They've put a bit more structure in their life to preclude the randomness that they usually pursue and it's helpful.

A little more tracking in other areas -- exercise and nutrition -- has been helpful as well. We're all self-employed, working from home, so knowing when you're being orderly versus free versus random is a good lens to employ.

You have two main approaches.

(1) Accept it is all convention so you can do whatever you want.

(2) Accept it is all convention and follow it

I'd recommend (2) personally as that allows your API consumers to grok your API quicker due to existing expectations. If you go with (1) then do whatever feels right.

The convention:

- POST is always used to create something new. This means the URL should not specify any ID for the object being created, though it can for the hierarchy of objects it belongs to. For example to add an address to an existing user with ID 123 use POST /users/123/addresses with a body of address content.

- PUT is usually used to update an existing something, so for address 3 of that user PUT /users/123/addresses/3 with a body like a POST.

- PATCH is used to partially update an existing something, so PATCH /users/123/addresses/3 with a body just like PUT/POST, and the difference being you supply only the properties on the model you want to change. Often used to patch up large models with small changes.

So the URL is the full address to an individual resource in PUT and PATCH (/users/123/addresses/3), whilst for POST it goes to the resource's parent collection (/users/123/addresses). A POST with an ID as per your example for updating would (by convention) be wrong as it would be expected that POST would create a new instance with its own ID so the one in the URL is not just irrelevant but also misleading. As for your PATCH example for update, it would be expected that the URL tells it which resource to update so (again by convention) the API would not know what to update without that extra bit.

In summary - conventions are to help your API consumers get up to speed via existing expectations whilst also matching the main- and side-effects those consumers expect without them needing to refer to your documentation or treat your API as a special snowflake (as they would see it) amongst the many convention-based ones they probably use from elsewhere.
This is exactly why I've concluded trying to go my own way is the best long-term plan for me. Before learning about YC and HN and such, the thought never really occurred to me.

When I'm working on a personal project I'm really passionate about, my productivity is literally orders of magnitude higher than at any day job I've had. Months or years are compressed into days.

For any ambitious personal project that I'm intrinsically motivated by, I'm working on it and designing it pretty much every free moment I have. It's actually crazy to me how much I can get done if there's absolutely zero "ugh field" [1] inhibiting me. It doesn't feel like work at all. I'd happily take 20% of my current salary if it meant I could do that all day instead.

Even if it's stressful and even if I might fail miserably, I think life should be lived. If there's even the tiniest sliver of a chance that I could support myself just doing something like that, I know I'd be much happier. And if turning such a thing into a job or organization sucks the fun out of it, then I'll just keep trying again and again until I can find a project with a sufficiently viable enjoyment:financial stability ratio.

I also have lived in Pittsburgh for the last 10 years as this author but I have to say I have a different impression of the city. One of my employers had an orientation on Pittsburgh a few years ago and brought in some city planners who talked about the successes and failures of some of their initiatives - the South Side Works and Homestead Waterfront. Their main objective was to integrate neighborhoods with the riverfront which had historically been pretty destroyed by industry and was now ripe for rehabilitation. For all of their effort and good intentions they had mixed success. South side does nicely slide into the Works but Homestead remains to this day awkwardly separated from the Waterfront.

Other neighborhoods have gentrified with terrifying speed - Lawrenceville and East Liberty are the two that come to mind. I know poorer folks sitting on properties that have likely tripled in value in the last 10 years alone. Other neighborhoods seem perfectly situated for gentrification and somehow years go by and nothing changes.

I think it's too easy to attempt to 'model' (simplify) these dynamics to attempt to provide evidence for some sort of narrative. White flight happened in many locations around this country, gentrification is happening now. These are opposite movements of people that both get criticized. Reality tends to be much more complex than we would like and doesn't like to play by pre-determined rules. Who knows what the upper and middle class will be criticized for 20 years from now or what these cities will look like? In the 90's Pittsburgh was a complete disaster.
As a male, it's happened to me quite often, since my age was in single-digits. I just have a naturally serious expression, I guess. It also applies to people from other cultures like eastern Europe, where it's not the default to go around smiling and laughing in public or making small talk to strangers. Default expressions vary quite a bit and maybe yours is just more cheery or neutral.
in which case, this style of work is OK and should be accepted instead of shamed
If you work too much you reach a point where you are tired enough that your productivity becomes NEGATIVE.

With negative I meant that you might spend 1h to do something that will then take more than 1h to be debugged/reworked/discussed and ultimately removed.

Or something that cause breakage that could be avoided.

You need to be well rested and clear-minded to foresee a problem and take the right decision, especially around software.

Heh, hiding badly seems rather unlikely. A galaxy spanning race that can cross untold light years is not likely to make easy/simple/stupid mistakes often.

However, a self replicating probe might well be monitoring the earth, and watching for various milestones (fire, wheels, radio, spread spectrum, nuclear, fusion, stealth, inter planetary probes, plasma drives, etc). Certainly many things could be monitored passively, but occasional active monitoring might be justified.

Things like pestering military vehicles in relatively crowded seas (Off the coast of San Diego) to see what exactly we do when confronted with a unknown vehicle. What sensors do we use? How sophisticated are they? Do we risk the lives of fellow humans opening up on the unknown with multiple weapons?
I could probably best describe it as non-malicious unintentional callous disregard, coupled with a belief that I'd mostly figured everything out - and a deep-seated need to always be "right" and "win".

I had not yet learned that at the point where there is an argument, both people have already lost.
And? Maybe it's needed to be more often or not at all. However in Windows 10 you cannot defrag (with internal tools) SSD's like you wrote.
I’d argue that “retiring later” precludes any argument for short term loss for long term gains. Generally retiring earlier is the long term gain that you take short term losses for, retiring is a sign that things haven’t gone as well as planned.

The Toxic Progressive Left: How the 'Baizuo' Hurt Asian Americans
Afaik it is still considered #reckless to put bigger amounts on your lightning node and at least the "lnd" implementation seems to be in "beta" (according to their Github releases). Idk about the roadmap for a solid, production ready version is. But in this case safe seems to be better than sorry
From what I understand California has a very progressive tax system and as a consequence revenues vary by a lot. If wealthy Californians have a good year the coffers bulge but when they don't ... everything dries up.

Not necessarily a problem if the State spent like that but they tend to spend like every year will be a fat year. Go figure.

This generalizes: often people want a promotion because it's the "next thing", but in many cases once you are mid career a promotion can make you pretty unhappy. Having a clear idea of how the work & responsibility will differ, and whether it is what you actually want.

When I was a junior engineer, I quit a position over this. My manager had a direct line of sight from his desk into my screen and would give me passive aggressive comments if I wasn’t always on task.

I was the best performing engineer at that company, handling a contract that was worth >20% of their revenue by myself. They loved me at that company, and I wish I had been honest with the feedback I gave during my exit interview, but I just couldn’t tell the guy my issues were with him.
I've seen something similar backfire for a guy I worked with. He had this idea that he would get his shit done Monday-Thursday and have an easy WFH Friday.

People ended up doing most work towards end of sprint and Friday would usually be really busy - basically he always had to be present and management would offload priority stuff to him since he was done. So he'd end up busting his ass all week. Eventually he got tired and reverted to standard schedule - but this meant his relative performance dropped - I saw him get singled out in a review for performance drop (and not a lot of people noticed when he was going above the norm).
Ensuring a Healthy Work-Life Balance When Working from Home
> if it truly is novel, no one will be able to replicate it.

Novel and non-obvious. Many novel concepts are easily replicated from first principles given sufficient incentive. Only in rare cases is the solution non-obvious. Patents are most valuable to the inventor when reverse engineering or reinvention is more-or-less inevitable; to the public, whom the patent office is supposed to represent, they serve a purpose only in cases where the invention would otherwise be likely to remain a trade secret indefinitely. And that's only if the patent clearly describes the key elements of the invention such that it could actually be recreated, and doesn't last so long that the invention is thoroughly obsolete by the time the patent expires.
> Yeah, all this concern with scalability, portability and clean code, has created quite a dystopian software world.

All of these three - when interpreted reasonably - coincide and even constitute performance improvements:

* You make less assumptions, including regarding the speed of things, when you make your code portable.

* When your code is clean, it's easier to generalize speed benefits rather than when you need to apply some ugly spaghetti hand-written optimization in 20 places.

* Scalability means scaling up, out but also _down_ from the machine you're currently using. How else would you run your, say, distributed search web app on, say, a cluster of RPi 0's?

... Of course, if your approach to scalability and portability is to stick things in a container or vm, and manage a fleet of those, then yeah, that's kind of a problem.

Could someone explain why people are still buying these instead of competing treadmills? Do they have some kind of killer feature?
Yeah, I really can't imagine how one would class it as healthy let alone even a serious competition. x86 and ARM, however, are starting to have a real battle with ARM owning mobile, making headwinds into laptops and desktops at Apple and multiple vendors producing meaningful server chips.
The CPU support is already pretty good and for example Huawei is pushing important Linux kernel patches.

What you are talking about is drivers for peripherals, which is are SoC-level issues, and really up to the partners (like Allwinner, SiPeed, etc). So far documentation is the most critical part and it's a very mixed bag. I think this will be much like the Arm experience, albeit everyone is at least using device trees these days.
The Big Impact of Small Changes
That's quite callous towards people with autism. Many people with autism very much want to socialize and integrate into society, but have difficulties doing so. I don't have difficulties socializing, I just don't like people (misanthropy) and get drained by socialization (introversion), which is why the pandemic has been a great time for me. Of course by that I mean the circumstances as they have impacted my life, not the health status of people.
