Decided to actively solve for this problem in late 30s after attending funerals where the guy had to use some of the funeral home staff as palbearers, and I decided it was important to me to finish being able to convene a party of 6.

How? Joined a fraternal organization. It's the least fashionable or cool thing to do, and that's precisely what made it a good idea. It is a way to have something in common without a lot of baggage or overhead, and you get to see what other men are really like from every walk of life, at different stages of their lives. The organizations are what you make them, and bringing conditions and expectation goes as well as you expect.

I say men because a lot of young guys these days are uncomfortable saying out loud that they are a man. Instead they say they are a "person," "an adult," a "guy," or a "dude." Nobody needs a deep philosophical explanation of it, but being able to self accept enough to say you are a man is exceptional these days. You can certainly be all those things, but if someone asked you point blank whether you were a good man, for many it's an uncomfortably direct question. I think this is the root of what makes male friendships hard, we've all become too neurotic and anxious.

The org I joined doesn't have any answers to that (it's not unlike a theatre group), but just being around other guys and doing the work to keep the thing running gives you the tools to figure it out for yourself if that's your thing. I also think we've been given a bunch of substitute cognitively limiting tools to dodge the question, like saying we aren't bros or toxic masculine persons, or don't need to overcompensate because we're educated, etc. I think because many of us haven't been equipped with the tools to discern what it means to be a good one makes the whole thing intimidating.

Anyway, in mine, I hang out with a wildly diverse group (whole spectrum of religion, sexuality, ethnicity, age, etc), and in having almost nothing in common, the equillibrium we manage to find gives you an idea of a common thread that we can find. It helps everyone recognize there is a way to meet almost anyone on the level. It's not for everyone, and that bar makes the other side of it really special. Partners are fine with it because it's good clean fun and knowing 20+ guys who will return your txts is pretty cool.

I think the thing that turned me is I saw the quality of the criticisms on the internet of fraternal organizations and the list of who has historically been against them, and I figured if there was a team I could join, it would be the one those anti- people are against. The rules are that the organization can't recruit, so if you want to be the change, the opportunity is unlimited.
No it’s a benefits thing they can’t scale
I hope they don't get into the habit of blackmailing politicians when the cause is just. For one, because Google's perception of justice may not always be right. For another, because once they get into that habit, once they have established the methods and procedures for doing it, could we really trust them to not abuse this tool simply for their own profit?
Hah! No wonder you don't grok my perspective.

If you derive a C++ compiler that accepts file A as valid C++.
And I derive a C++ compiler that rejects file A as valid C++, then from the lens of type theory the two compilers have different type-signatures!

They are not the same formal language. One, or both compilers implement a language that is not C++.
What an absolute joke. FBI/CIA recruits a child molester to lie about Assange.

This is my unscientific hunch as well. It's easy for hordes of fake accounts to add gasoline to hot issues online and people fall for it. Get things trending that otherwise wouldn't. It's cheap as hell too compared to a military industrial complex.

On one hand, I hate Google for the obvious bullshit they pull and not only get a pass on but are celebrated for typically.

On the other hand, they’re accelerating what we all know should happen. Decentralization, restoration of privacy, data freedom, and maybe subscription based moderation and filtering (although to be fair, I’m not sure how that last one doesn’t make a worse echo chamber than we have now over enough time).
I've heard China encourages/allows/supports some creators on YouTube for cultural export too.

I mean if YouTube is 'banned' then someone like Dianxi Xiaoge with 7.5 million subscribers isn't exactly under the radar if they wanted to enforce their rules.
Very true, and not only do print statements inherently serialized threads, they also change the timing so significantly that probably your bug disappears anyway.
Honestly, Covid-19 showed me there are 'friends' and there are friends. It changed my perspective of some of my friendships.

I had some 'friends' who I knew for 10+ years who couldn't spare a single minute over the past 1.5 years to go for a walk or have a coffee outside. As someone who was there for them at various points in life, all I could think of was "really, you know I live alone and don't have an SO like you do, did it seriously never cross your mind how lonely it's been for me?" Unless I made the umpteenth trip to visit him/her, they would make zero effort.

I also had friends including those who just had newborns who made the time every single week to jump on a zoom call just to say hi and to keep each others spirits up.

I probably won't let it destroy the friendships because what is 1.5 years compared to 10+, but at the same time, I'd be lying if I said it was easy to forget.
But I thought a bit is a binary digit? What does this quote mean?
Having elected officials is not what constitutes a public institution.

CFR 417.201 defines a public institution as “an institution that is operated by or controlled by the Federal government, a State, or a political subdivision of a State such as a city or county.”

For example, as you stated the government sets the Fed charter and thus enumerates their powers and duties. Congress also pays their salaries, so (to a very limited extent) the Fed receives government funding to operate and reports to Congress for accountability.

Most federal “public institutions” do not have elected officials, but rather are led by appointees, just like the Fed.

I don't agree with you there. Their UX is very competent it's just not pursuing the "correct" X.
Strange coincidence but I was joking to myself today about how the next woke identity would be left handed people… then I remember Simpsons did it already.
At my previous job when it was relevant, I wrote something in house.

A higher order component would pick which variant at runtime (cause we had problems with SSR, or that would be more appropriate). Cached the picks in cookies.

In house charting and probability calculations to determine what P(X>Y) was for each experiment pair. Then we'd just manually prune them occasionally (since the bad ones weren't being displayed, timeliness didn't much matter). Periodically re-introduce old variants by hand if we thought it was worth it.

What does everything need to have a little blue or red LED now? <engage grumpy old man>... I am pretty strict about not letting any electronic devices into my bedroom because when I turn the lights out to go to sleep I don't want to see a constellation of LEDs, some blinking. The blue ones are the worst, for lots of reasons. My phone goes face down or in the nightstand drawer. I got a new window a/c unit a couple of years ago and it has LEDs and a remote control with an LED that blinks. Stop it already.

Also while we're wishing, a sub $100 modern GPU that can drive multiple 4k monitors, gaming performance be damned.

> "you know that is it an entirely distinct human being"

You know that it isn't entirely distinct, it is inside and completely dependent upon another human.

> "In order to justify abortion, you would need to argue that murder (which is the direct, intentional killing of an innocent human being) is justifiable."

How do you feel when a woman has a miscarriage? The child is dead, the mother's body deliberately killed it. Is she culpable? Is it different if her brain cells are involved in the rejection of the child? Isn't that you assigning arbitrary boundaries according to taste?

There have to be arbitrary boundaries, the universe is a single thing, the idea of there being separate things inside it is a human convenient fiction, it's not real. The boundaries between things are fuzzy and disappear the closer you look at them. There's "just" atoms and energy, everything else is concept, if we want morals in the universe we have to make them up, and if we want them to apply to people, we have to make those up too.

I was visiting family in a very rural part of Texas recently. No iron crosses or confederate flags, but plenty of Trump/Pence flags and signs still around. It's probably the best place to be unvaccinated actually. People out there are accustomed to keeping a respectful distance, aside from the occasional brief hug or handshake. They will not tolerate crowded conditions as in the city, because they don't have to. Even the Sunday church congregations are sparser than in days past. Consequently, the Covid threat out there has remained quite low.
I had a similar experience to you. I'm trying to be forgiving however, because COVID brought a lot of depression, and people going through depression are inwardly focused and can struggle to maintain relationships. As their friend, I want to be there for them when they're able to focus on us again.
I don’t believe you.
> IKEA

A friend of mine posted on her Instagram about a cabinet where she thought the drawer slides were messed up and she couldn't fit the drawers. I looked and just kind of guessed, "is it upside down?". Yep, that was the problem. Apparently the instructions or parts were unclear enough that it was possible to put the feet on the wrong end or something.

This is just shitty UX but not dishonest though. But I hate it too since I click as well. Plus, you often lose the scroll position. :\
I agree, X86 is too complex with its legacy hardware and obscure instructions and environments. It might not be a good starting place to develope hobby projects.

The OS is running in a customised RISV hardware in MIPS for educational purposes, you can read more here https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/1275462.1275470

The BIOS has already been written for the serial ports, etc. So it is quite easy for me to interact with the devices in the OS.
> Dry in can be quicker.

I find that concept pretty fascinating. Here in the PNW we don't typically see balloon framing, but even so the dry-in time is still really quick. A two-story house can be framed up and have roof sheathing on in a week or so, and in another week have the roof and tyvek on. Even if the entire process was done in a downpour it still doesn't take long after that before it's dry enough to start interior work.
You'll see confederate flags in some small, remote towns in California. Bigger ones, too, like Huntington Beach.
it's generated a lot more press for the videos..

maybe it was a judo move by google
I was actually mocking the GP, who claims they worked at reddit and their justification for using dark patterns is that "they worked".

Of course they do, that's the whole point, dark patterns trick users into increasing your metrics. Doesn't mean it's a good idea to use them. That's like saying not allowing users to unsubscribe really decreases the unsubscription rate. No shit.
> China encourages/allows/supports

I don't know any such concrete measures to support some creators.

I do see that CCP wants to tell a more positive side of China on all sorts of media platforms. That in itself is pretty reasonable. I mean, certainly no other political group are going to say good things about China anyway.
I love linux but it's still not at a point where I'd even recommend it to any computer illiterate person.
The answer you are looking for is: 1.5 billion people and a GDP with a hockey stick curve
Similar experience. Some friends I haven't heard from because they've been in and out of depression; so that's understandable of course.

Some others would be out gallivanting every day (per their socials) and yet couldn't find a half an hour to hang out. I gave up on those. No loss.
What do you mean by "they got everything done"?
I believe you're thinking of the GPS/Gyro locks that certain high end Japanese CNC machines have, and the ITAR compliance issues many CNC machines are subject to for export. The locks were implemented because somehow Iran got their hands on some Mitutoyo machines despite sanctions. Either way, it's the State Department and Department of Commerce that get involved and the ATF has nothing to do with individual machines.

Manufacturing capacity for Pixel phones?
I think the only way to really fight this is to take it to a stupid level.

Something like try to take down all videos about aliens on the platform as misinformation.

I mean how can we take down all these videos but let videos about aliens be fine with zero proof for the existence of aliens? It is clearly conspiracy theory and misinformation.
They kinda can't seeing as that's kind of the goal with Azure with cloud based VM's and whatnot.

Methane doesn't have much to do with the BOE per se. The BOE is simply a function of warming. The details of how that warming happens don't really matter for that discussion.
Thanks. The OS is roughly 90% compliant with POSIX.1, but there's still a lot of work to make it fully compliant. That would probably be my next goal. This is a hobby project, I will probably spend 1-4 horus every other week to work on this. I am working on optimising memory usage of the file system which is almost completed in a separate branch.
There isn't much info about LBRY outside of LBRY itself, though the few links i could find didn't paint a good idea.

Arabs can be full Israeli citizens, many are being one of the main political parties is an Arab party.

Or do you mean citizens in Palestine? Why would Israel make the Palestinians in Gaza full citizens when That’s separate territory from Israel?
Ideally the parent's comment is forward hopeful. As in, in the near future big tech will be shackled as Ma Bell was, and then carved up.

Several of the big tech monsters started a fight they can't win with half of the country that now absolutely hates them (and will at one time or another control vast amounts of political power), and the other half which still wants to see them restricted anyway. The question is how far the Feds and states will go in curbing big tech's abuses on eg cancel culture and content censorship, given the various monopoly positions of these companies. Florida's law on deplatforming is a small, correct first step. Texas is guaranteed to follow, and a lot more restrictions will follow after that.

The notion that they can do whatever they want with their monopoly platforms, is already probably not an accurate premise. In the near future, it will definitely not be. We're in about inning one of laying down innumerable restrictions on what big tech can do with their platforms. The odds are quite high the regulators will in fact go further than they should over time, severely damaging the US tech economy.

The free-run days for big tech are very clearly over. They're merely too arrogant to recognize it. What was the last major acquisition by Facebook? There are three other prominent US social networks out there with a collective $200b in market cap now. Everything Facebook has is very stale, boring. Instagram is a giant yawn at this point, it's old, increasingly boring and lame. Which is why young people flocked to TikTok so quickly. Facebook has been de facto barred for a long time from eating any of their major competitors. All that money piling up to the ceiling and FB can't even use it to further their monopoly, and they know it. The party is largely over, although big tech will continue to drift for a while on enormous momentum.

If Amazon were smart, they'd be in the process of spinning off AWS right now, to unshackle it from so much anti-trust attention that the parent draws, to get far out in front of that. That's guaranteed to happen within the ten or so years after the Bezos era regardless. Google could probably do the same with YouTube, but they'll aggressively fight against that (Amazon will willingly spin off AWS as their stock stagnates, in the typical unlock shareholder value move).
Maybe for someone who never sees the inside of the walls it's easy to be fooled. Where I live, the typical construction uses pex everywhere up to the point where it goes through the drywall, at which point it switches to copper. So if you only ever see the house with all the drywall up, you could be fooled into thinking the pipes are all copper, instead of just the nubs where the valves are installed.
> As long as [...], any talk about a two state solution is a joke

It sucks to have to say, but no one in any position of power on any side of this conflict believes a two-state solution is possible anymore. That ship sailed a decade ago or so, depending on who you ask, and all of the players have moved on; it's only parts of the public who still believe it's possible. It may still be desirable, of course - I certainly desire it - but the "facts of the ground", as the Israelis love to phrase it, don't allow for it, and won't. (Said "facts" have been engineered for precisely that purpose: to make a Palestinian state impossible to achieve in any reasonable and practical sense.)
Presumably it's "Windows 10 is the only officially supported OS", which is very different from "only runs Windows 10"

It's sad to see big tech aligning more and more with this generation's nazis.

I’m in your exact same shoes and it hurts so damn bad. I honestly don’t trust the majority of the people I considered friends before the pandemic because of it. It became glaringly obvious what the future was going to be in those relationships. I still don’t know exactly what to do going forward now that there’s a new sense of normalcy in the US
How is it a bad take on Peloton? If anything, your comment is more critical ("default user experience had bad design"). It seems clear to me that they'll end up replacing it with a pin lock that works even without a subscription, but it was probably easier to quickly implement in existing code that required a subscription. And, now that I re-read your comment, you say the same thing -- "has promised to add the pin lock feature to non subscribers soon".

I don't see how a single word of my comment makes it sound much worse than it is. I pointed out what they did as a result of CPSC, and indicated that they'll likely reverse course, which you confirmed.

I'm not super well-versed in how it works at the moment. I've got a Tread, but can't use it due to knee surgery, so I've been watching the CPSC uproar / PIN requirement from afar, and generally think it's pretty silly.

It's the fact that the censors are there to step in for things that are plausibly true. There isn't any need to censor flat-earth theories. Nobody cares, it doesn't have any implications and it easy to disprove (eg, the fact that the horizon dips away).

The censors only get really active for things that could plausibly be true or things that are absolutely true but inconvenient to the people who control the censorship office.

This sounds like a sunk-cost fallacy to me. You've already pointed out that friendship length isn't correlated with friendship quality.

Talking specifically of TV experience the Shield has been the best streaming device on the market. Working out of the box and putting away the tinkering and manual config of the common HTPC. NVIDIA has brought updates and support to old Shield devices with the almost same support as Apple devices. It is disappointing NVIDIA does not own their own OS as Apple and Shield loyal users are affected of Google anti-consumer behaviour.
