Can you tell me more about the "better filters" request? Regarding sorting, that's great feedback. I'm curious how you would see this implemented. Would the sort by date arrange results in order of their modified date, created date (such as when they were published), or perhaps their first indexed date? There are a few other dates that could be considered too.
I struggle with similar things, and I have no good advice.

Now that that's out of the way, I did think about it a lot in recent years, and I came to the conclusion things become unbearable when too many things are off at the same time. When I was younger the work was on its own motivating enough, but this is no longer the case because I don't do anything really interesting. Now when I come to work already unhappy, and on top of that know the only way to solve a problem is to dig through crappy code for three days, it becomes the straw that broke the camel's back.

Things I work on and try to advise my kids, even though it's hard for me is: don't worry too much and just do it (whatever it is). We get better insights into things when we do them, so we get better. I don't really have an inferiority complex, but I did waste a lot of time in the past polishing things because I was worried what people might think. I wanted it to be great! But this doesn't work because it takes too much time, and somebody will always find a reason to criticize because it's not how they would do it. So it's like a double nothing. I also notice this is quite prevalent in this "industry" (although it's quite a wide spectrum, I am no way near a FAANG). It's made worse by a lot of people who suffer abuse (being looked down upon etc) and then solve it by abusing other people in similar ways. There are a lot of people who are arrogant and scared at the same time.

Lastly, in my case at least, I'm just not really that interested in the job anymore, above all not the grind. But it's a respected and well paid profession, so it's difficult to let go. It also became kind of a part of my identity, so if I walk away, what is left of me?
While I agree with you, I think the made it was meant in the professional sense.

For many people, it's the target for their professional career to get hired by FAANG (though it seems HN strongly dislikes that view).
A slur is an insult, no one has to have died for something to be a slur, not sure where you got that idea from.
Wikipedia writes about that thought in their two opening paragraphs and concludes:

> In academic discourse, there is no consensus on whether or not TERF constitutes a slur.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TERF

Sure, if someone uses it in their paper on, for example, history of feminist thought I wouldn't assume it to be offensive. On the other hand I don't think that the intention behind a sentence like “shut the fuck up, terf” is very unclear.
And sadly it doesn't update during typing (at least last time I checked in 14.x). I developed a quick PoC autocomplete for a language that has no support which updated datalist with word predictions. Works beautifully on Android but not on iOS.

I’m a python programmer and my dream would be to learn C and an extension language like Guile or Ecl. Then I could write the performant bits in C and extend it with Lisp. I’m actually pretty proficient in Racket so I’m doing pretty well on the lisp side, but I’ve found the books for learning C lacking. I absolutely had “C a modern approach” and “Modern C”
The linked page about the emulator[0] says it’s a port and has some bugs that the original doesn’t have. That’d lead me to believe it’s a rewrite rather than a cross-compile.

The guys, who removed the telephone poles and the wires in these parts, mentioned they paid the local power utility around 40€ per year for each single pole shared with power lines.

Mind you, we're talking (mostly) disused old copper wires, with signal quality too poor to deliver more than a few mbps over ADSL, and most of the country is covered by a very well-built 4G network delivering 10+ mbps pretty much everywhere.

I agree it's sad to see working infrastructure being taken down, but everything was privatized in the 90's/00's and the new network owners have no incentive to keep paying for its upkeep.

> No one has successfully beaten and killed a woman while calling her a TERF and then got away with it in court like the gay panic defense and the trans panic defense has. No one was lynched for being a TERF like black people have been.

That is a bizarre standard for what constitutes a slur, and would exclude the vast majority of slurs. This reads more like an attempt to inject an emotional appeal to deny a point you personally disagree with.

TERF is a phrase pretty much always used to attack its target. Coupling it with "shut the fuck up" makes the intention pretty clear.
I’m curious why, at $4k, the shipping isn’t included. Sure, it’s heavy and costs a lot to ship, but there’s something psychological about “free shipping” even if the price is higher (case in point: Amazon)
There is a problem with what is called the "donkey vote" where the person at the top of the ballot is more likely to get a "1" vote than the person at the bottom.

However, in practice, people accept voting guides from parties that direct their preferences and they vote the way their choice of party decides.

That's why there is horse trading between parties before the election on "preference deals" where they agree to different ordering on the guides.

Smaller parties use this to engage larger parties by demanding some of their policy requests in return.
> Are cis/white people are often discriminated against?

Did you see "OFTEN"?

The parent post was clearly implying that non-trans people are facing significant discrimination rather than the opposite.

Back in the day, you'd have to ring up or write (using stamps) to get the user manuals. Or dumpster dive, which the one time we tried it kinda sucked since we expected manuals but got all the pass-codes instead which ended the game.

The problem is that trust takes so long to build and so little to destroy. I still won't install or use Brave because I have a nagging suspicion in the back of my mind that I'll wake up to a forced update tomorrow that goes against my interest. They have an insane tightrope to walk in a world where they need to support their work yet not corrupt their product in the name of profit. Thus far, they've made several decisions which have knocked them off that tightrope. Each time, the long road to regaining trust is lengthened and reset. If they go a couple years with a clean track record, I'll consider trying it again, but at this point the brand is entirely tainted for me. Importantly, it doesn't matter if my feeling is currently true, it's been informed by history.
Gender politics is a cancer on the left, even though I agree with it, it takes up so much time and energy away from things that would benefit everybody including trans people, like universal healthcare, better employee protection laws and better, more available education. Such a small percentage of the population has been the center point of so much discussion and debate, and for what benefit? All I see it doing is give the right-wing more ammunition to harden their bases.

The problem with using testosterone as your marker is that many cis female athletes have higher serum levels naturally than trans women in this context. In fact, to get the benefits of secondary sex characteristics for trans women they often have to have LOWER testosterone and higher estrogen levels for cis women in their weight and age. This is done to overcome the masculinization they've gone through. Basically, to get the boobs you gotta carpet bomb the testes forever or snip snip.

I really love Grafana for visualizing metrics and can't think of anything with the same level of usability. It was obvious that InfluxDB Cloud UI can't compete with Grafana in this field.

From the article I noticed it was tricky to switch from Push to Pull model. I'd recommend to try victoriametrics for your case due to the following reasons:

1. it supports Graphite ingestion protocol [1]

2. it supports Influx line ingestion protocol [2]

3. and besides of MetricsQL it also allows to query Graphite data [3]

So you might need to make less changes if switching to VM instead of Grafana Cloud. Also, you can continue to run it on DO $5 droplet.

It is the point. People in Europe very much do consider train vs. plane. I encountered this first hand in personal considerations, family vacation planning and in a policy handout in a big corporation.
FWIW I thought they were well implemented, though unique.

I think the difficulty for some readers (myself included) is that they are non-standard/different from how every other web page works.

I actually quite liked them, kind of like an extended aside.
I read that as just being a list of what circumstances you can still use the attack that you might otherwise think you couldn't. For example having a broken screen it seems clear couldn't provide any benefit, but that's also in that same list.
Laws that cannot be applied equally to everyone are subject to abuse; the concept of 'hate speech' (defined here https://www.rightsforpeace.org/hate-speech as communication that ‘attacks or uses pejorative or discriminatory language with reference to a person or a group on the basis of who they are, in other words, based on their religion, ethnicity, nationality, race, colour, descent, gender, or other identity factor’) is subjective.

For example, is the word 'Karen' hate speech? It is used derogatively against white women (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karen_(pejorative): "the term was increasingly being used in media and on social media as a general-purpose term for middle class white women"). It seems to fit the definition - pejorative, discriminatory, based on colour, gender (and economic class?)... But it is the fashion for this term to be in widespread use and for it to be applied generally to dismiss and demean this demographic (The Guardian even calling 2020 the Year of the Karen).

Introducing rules based on subjective standards will make it impossible for them to be impartially applied. It is difficult enough apply laws even in cases where it should be far easier to judge rights violations (workplace bullying, rape, domestic abuse). Subjective rules will be open to abuse.
Fair point, misunderstanding on my part, suspected it was, thanks for clarifying.

Europeans have a very distorted sense of American healthcare. Your media, like ours, is not accurate or reliable. The American healthcare system doesn’t work well for the lower classes, but it generally works very well for the professional class and up. Of course this isn’t to say it shouldn’t be reformed to be more like the European healthcare system, but it’s not because the European system is better for professionals. Additionally, the extra 50-200% (not sure about that upper bound figure) is after accounting for “what is standard for Europeans” i.e., healthcare and pension.

I looked into this precisely because I was interested in moving to Europe for a while and found it would be very difficult for me to afford for my wife and I to both live in Europe and travel Europe on my salary alone (and the odds of her finding work in Europe seemed slim).
I’ve associated the term slur in the common understanding with an actual history of marginalization, and I think the claim is totally unnecessary politicking in the reporting.
Also, I'm not aware of anyone who seriously considers "TERF" an offensive slur...

It's like saying "bigot" is a slur, or being more afraid of being labelled a racist than actually being racist...
2M@31 means you could do almost anything and not have to have any kind of shit job.

I'm good in my profession and I'm tired of it
The premise is simple: I have a career in software development. I'm quite good in what I do. Not a guru but good to be responsable for high profile projects in my current (and past) company. I don't have a big paycheck but it's good for humble mid-class life. I have a nice home and I'm solo provider for my family. Bottom line, I have a decent job that allows me to have a non-worried life.

What else could I ask for, right?

The problem: I'm uterly and completely tired and drained of what I do. I don't get annoyed or have any issues in my daily work (besides the "normal") but I just don't take any pleasure or fulfilling or motivation in my daily work life. In a nutshell: 8-10 hours of my day go to the drain.

The complication: This is pretty much all my profession experience. I feel like I'm in this professional hole and that the only way out is to just start over somewhere else which I can't (solo provider, bills threshold). So I'm in this cycle of unable to get away of it.

The joke: 1st world problem right? well.. it is what it is.

Has anyone felt the same? Are you willing to share your experience on how you dealt with it?

Cheers
That’s a huge amount of people who didn’t answer. Phones are basically worthless to get ahold of people — I called about 40 students last spring for interviews and got only one answer, myself.
You're absolutely right that some people are not interested in ads, at all. And this is why they install content-blockers and more. This doesn't change the fact that many others install things like uBlock Origin for their security and privacy benefits. This is precisely why Brave ships with Brave Ads and Rewards disabled by default. We believe that the out of box experience should be blocking. This works for both parties: those who want the reduced noise, and those who want the added security/privacy. I hope this helps :)

A slur is an allegation that is likely to insult them or damage their reputation. That's clearly why terf was used in this context.

I've noticed leftist communities frequently attempting to redefine incendiary words (such as 'racism') as a political tactic, to a lot of success.

Great write-up. I've just switched from Cloudinary to Backblaze B2 + Bunny CDN and I am saving a pretty ridiculous amount of money for hosting thousands of customer images.

Bunny has a great interface and service; I'm really surprised how little people know about it, I think I discovered it on some 'top 10 CDNs list' that I usually ignore, but the pricing was too good to pass up.

The team is really on the ball from what I've seen. Appreciate the descriptive post, folks!

One thing I find quite odd is how the study of gender emerged out of an approach that demanded a critical understanding of assumptions and the things society insist upon (that there are only 2 genders, that gender is essentially related to biological sex rather than something that is manifest in social behaviour, ect.) and yet that view has twisted into a sort of all or nothing view that is extremely antagonistic to critical inquiry. The tendency for a number of trans activists and talking points to revert back to a kind of gender essentialism; the logical inconsistencies in the idea that one identifies a private gender identity, rather than a personal desire to transition or live as another gender; the insistence that a trans person has special insight into the concept of gender --- raise up any of these points and you bear the risk of being labelled a "transphobe" even though you are entirely committed to the protection of a trans persons rights and dignity.

A small, extremely vocal minority insists that anyone that voices the slightest hesitation in accommodating trans people into gender/sex segregated social functions must be a transphobe or be complicit in the violence against trans people. It makes the entire conversation exhausting.
As someone who has struggled with a lot of emotional/mental stuff, I read these things and get angry. Not angry at you or what you're saying, angry at the state of mental health right now. My wife had been struggling with things due to chronic sever pain. She has been trying for two years to find someone to actually talk to and it's nearly impossible. The insurance has a list and if you go down the list it's a combination of retired, no new patients, child psychology only, OBGYN (wat??) and one star reviews for the one or two people that will talk to her. After one session, it's pretty obvious why they're rated so low. Finding qualified mental health care is so difficult, it's amazing people make it through. Our only option is paying out of pocket but with the constant medical bills we already have (chronic painz physical therapy that's gone past the hard limit on session, etc), we don't really have a lot to spare.

> The arguments the two sides put forward, in other words, are complex and debatable. But many trans activists think that any disagreement is tantamount to hate speech and try to suppress it.

This is 100% my personal experience also. Even on HN last week someone said I should try to be a "better human" and compared my suggestion that maybe someone might oppose transgender women in women's spaces for reasons other than pure hatred or phobia of trans people, to segregation of blacks and whites. It's just absolutely impossible to have any disagreement with them without them trying these inane mob bully tactics. Being outraged should not be your only argument.

Take the case of Fallon Fox (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallon_Fox): a mixed martial artist transgender woman (who didn't even disclose she used to be a he while she was competing against women), or Laurel Hubbard, the New Zealand transgender olympic weightlifter in the news this week. Even mentioning these cases which clearly have more to them than pure hatred or phobia of trans people, still get lambasted with abuse.

What's really frustrating is that they don't really listen to what you actually say, but instead "read between the lines" and assume everything you say is just a ruse hidden behind some immense hatred and bigotry. How about no? Just take what I say at face value. No, I'm not full of hate. Yes, I know being transgendered must be hard. Yes, I do know some transgendered people (why is this relevant?). Yes, I am cisgendered myself. No, I really do think transgender women have an advantage in combat sports. No, again, I'm not full of hate... It's quite ridiculous.

... OP was flagged because...?
An app faking the official look would open you up to so many liabilities and the GDPR watchdogs will probably just drool at the thought of anyone trying to defend that in a court after getting hammered by record fines.
It’s not shaming to say someone is against trans people nor is it disparaging unless someone is bringing politics and moralism into it. Like I said I don’t want even more gender politics from the other “side” as some kind of “backlash” journalistic piece. It’s all a wash of nonsense.
There’s malice in your repos–PyPI is the latest to be abused
Agreed... And I am not arguing that trans women (who take hormones after the male puberty) don't have an advantage over non-trans women. Just that trans women are about identity and not biology.
Oh BTW, at the highest levels of competition like olympics, I suspect there's a brain/mind involvement to a very strong level. But that doesn't change your argument anyways.
