Not a single pre-columbian city in the americas had a million people.

In North America, the largest city, Cahokia, had 15,000 - 20,000 and peaked around 1100 AD. North America was mostly a stone age culture without a lot of cities.

You had more advanced civilizations in central and south america.

The Aztecs were the biggest. The largest urban area were the two sister cities of Tenochtitlan and Tlatelolco. Again, population estimates are hard to come by, but 200,000–400,000 inhabitants are estimated for Tenochtitlan and half that for Tlatelolco. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenochtitlan

Teotihuacan was the largest city in the Americas during the classical period, beginning to decline around 600 AD and virtually dissapearing by 1000 AD. Peak population of 150-250,000 around 450 AD. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teotihuacan

The absolutely fascinating Olmecs (with the enormous heads and jade masks), were the largest before then, but they died out around 450 AD. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olmecs

Population estimates for their biggest city, La Venta, are about 20,000 people.

Teotihuacan had about 125K around 500 A.D, but again collapsed by around 1000 AD.

In South America, the largest Incan city, Cusco, had a peak population of up to 150,000.

https://www.worldhistory.org/Cuzco/

Tikal, the largest Mayan city, had about 200,000 (Peaking around 900 A.D)

Step 1: Talk to a therapist!

Step 2: Take it from someone who was were you are at 23, but now 42: effects of early life disadvantages, disasters and even seemingly set personality traits (I'm an INTJ) disappear or smooth out over time. Also, you have oodles of time. At my age, I still have more productive adult years ahead of me than behind me.

Step 3: "Everything is a signal in the brain" is something I used to tell myself back then. Trying to change your brain state by changing the external world can be inefficient, especially if you have your basic needs met already. Work internally. Which is why speaking to a therapist matters.

Step 4: Get out of the house (provided you're not on lockdown). Force yourself to go to public gatherings or public places. It will feel unnatural at first, but remember that what feels natural is what you're used to. Get used to it. Staying at home is a recipe for sending your brain into unhealthy feedback loops.
OP did not say anything negative about dressing femininely. OP said "sincerely evaluate your style of dress".
Exactly.

I think ideally we move away from the whole "negotiating for a raise" idea since that advantages people who are low in agreeableness (and exacerbates gender pay ratios).

We should have open pay scales by position with well-defined criteria for bonus / raises. Negotiation should have little to do with it, ideally.

The UN scheme deliberately uses the term "Northern America" to differentiate it from the continent of a similar name. The second sentence on the wiki page says as much:

> Note that the continent of North America comprises the intermediate regions of the Caribbean, Central America, and Northern America.

The UN uses that scheme because Mexico is part of the Latin America region and makes more sense grouped with them for statistical purposes than with the US and Canada.
No, I used to but it got boring and I prefer to spend my time on other things.

Memory allocation can be avoided by using preallocated buffers for storage. Yeah, that limits the number of maximum elements and could waste memory like hell, but have to live with that and get performance in return.
Race could be eliminated by using separate dirty and free lists (circular buffers, probably implemented as arrays, with the same number of elements as the data storage has). Like declare your storage as a global array, add all of its indexes to the freelist. When adding data to the storage, pop an index from the front of the freelist, fill the given slot of the array, push the index to the back of the dirty list. When processing data, pop an index from the front of the dirty list, process the slot, push the index to the back of the freelist.
So, just out of curiosity: I know in ECMAScript this is probably mainly for the purpose of giving you a convenient way to lift either (α → β) or (α → Promise β) into (Promise α → Promise β) without static typing or having two "then" functions, by forcing β and Promise β to be disjoint. It also allows looser composition underneath, since you can choose which kind of return to provide at runtime without having to re-wrap the bare case manually. But are there any other reasons for Promise of Promise to be squashed away like that?

Any trustable source to back this up?
That's not helpful if what the NYT article says is wrong, which it probably is. As a general rule, any popular-press story about a scientific paper is wrong, usually dramatically, spectacularly wrong. I'm invariably better off just reading the paper's abstract.
If you feel that way about me, great.

Have a nice joyful day.
- Market share is not the most important metric, resilience matters and Linux distributions have only gained in acceptance over years

- People have a fear or even aversion toward experiments since it needs effort, but some folks are simply geeks - they will keep trying and more power to them

- Some of these experiments, historically, have brought some of the best open innovations in the industry and moved even closed-source rooted companies to change mindset

- Fragmentation is a marketing problem IMHO and I would like to see some ground between that and a consolidated Linux distro but it will not happen easily and that is OK

- The enthusiasts like us do not need every other mainstream user on Linux but I am sure we would love that (I am a Linux user for 18 years)

- This community is happy learning and trying new things, it is joyful

So, more power to experimentors. The value of this community is in choice in a market that is dominated by the Apples and Microsofts who do not care about choice.

But what would actually happen in Germany is, you would be stuck to that service due to a 3 year contract. Which you have to cancel some three months in advance or it renews for next three years.

But hey, we get startups whose usp is cancelling services.

Seems pretty normal to everyone I complain, that I still pay for my O2 bill after sending the cancellation letter(Physical piece of paper) for the umpteenth time.
I don't have any ideas, people are complicated, but that's why there are therapists. Seriously, find a therapist. If you don't like the first one, keep trying. They are worth it to bounce ideas off of. And yes, I have a therapist myself.
"proven" sounds like cargo-culting dogma. The same was said of OOP in the 90s, and look what that caused. Hence my distrust of the snake-oil.

Also, my real-world experience with wading through the abstraction insanity often seen in C++ (and justified because it's "safer") to find and fix bugs, and even more so with the sheer baroqueness of Enterprise Java (arguably an "even safer language"), shows that "reduce defects" is more like a dream. Maybe the number is reduced but when one is found, it tends to be harder to fix.

Put another way, I'd rather fix relatively simple C (which also tends to be simpler code in general) than the monsters created by "modern C++" because they thought the "added safety" would mean they could go crazy with the complexity without adding bugs. Perhaps there is some sort of risk compensation going on.

The saying "C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot; C++ makes it easy to blow the whole leg off" comes to mind.
I'm sorry you got offended.

Would be more productive if you pointed where I'm wrong, but it is unlikely that it will happen here.
The early research emerging on possible brain changes from COVID is pretty alarming. Obviously further information is needed, but it's fairly shocking this can happen under any circumstances. https://twitter.com/ScottGottliebMD/status/14056549901280460...

I would say it leaves the statement in hypothesis territory, not hand-waving territory. If we can't discuss or measure "boring" effectively, that is a problem with our instruments and vocabulary, not the assertion.

"Boring" is an absolutely crucial thing to be worried about when it comes to anything remotely artistic.
You got woke liberals defending Hamas nowadays. I wouldn't be surprised.
I find it fascinating that this ancient creature from nearly 150K years ago was both kinda ripped and kinda clothed.
In something like described, it sounds like the design part is where they’re at. If they were optimizing a working algorithm (eg selecting the best memory ordering for some operation), then I’d say they’re in the implementation phase.

What’s not clear to me is if TLA+ can properly model the memory model. If I recall correctly, it doesn’t. You’re just testing your logic. That does still leave for some heavy lifting to be done.
Sources on what? The existence of occupied territories? Or the fact that the occupied population can’t vote in Israeli elections?

Sounds like you've set a system up full of semantic issues. For example, saying "Death to Israel" is in pretty clear violation of this rule.

But what about "Turn Iraq into a glass parking lot"? Someone could argue that they aren't targeting a "whole ethnicity" because Iraq is simply one of many Arab/Muslim-majority nations - and not even in the top 3 most populous Arab countries. After all, the person didn't say "Kill every Muslim" nor did they say "Bomb all Muslim countries" -- they just stated one of MANY countries that happens to be majority Muslim.

I've never had much luck with outsourcing dev or marketing

Prob mainly because I only wanted to spend relatively small amounts

A grand a month for dev

Less for marketing

I always thought there would be people out there like me when I was younger

Hustling picking up side work on Craigslist

Often for very little money

I still think there is a way

Maybe it's just finding the right provider

I've always imagined a upwork-for-indie-hackers marketplace that provides services at some fixed rate like $5/hr, and all the money has to flow through a single payment gateway so that everyone gets paid

In theory this is what upwork and fiver and the rest already do

Minus the revenue share

Ideally it'd be revenue share and equity share over time

That's part of my motivation for most things I have ever tried to do -- find some mutually beneficial situation

I don't know what it's like for the contractor who have done work for me

Do they think I'm too cheap? Or just suck? Or I'm just a contract and if it doesn't work then onto the next one?

For my part, I often or always get work that does not work

So right now I have an app I need fixed but I don't want to go back to the dude who did it for various reasons

So my execution is shit

I've learned but it's gd expensive to learn
Your bank has robust backup systems. If it gets hacked they just untransfer the money.
Hi,

https://etke.cc developer is here. As the guy who setups matrix servers for customers I can tell you that a lot of information in topic link is a lie or controversial.

Example: Matrix is not extendable - seems the author didn't read any basic guide of Matrix protocol - you can and SHOULD extend it if you develop any new primitives and/or events. Even naming convention of matrix events encourages you to do that.
Apartheid doesn’t have to be based on religion. Here it is based on being born in Israel vs being born in the occupied territories
It isn't, it is also not available on game consoles (Swift supports it, but also has GL 4.6 and NVN), or any Android device lower than 10.

Even with 10 or later, if not using Google or Samsung flagship devices, you will bump into driver issues.
Why not just charge the existing products for access to premium shelf space and classify that as advertising revenue? I don't see the point of putting ads in between the customer and what was already effectively an ad (i.e. the packaging/product itself).

It isn't as easy as it sounds I know, but find a job you love. What passions do you have in life? Where can you work that will scratch at least a tiny part of that itch?

I had a friend who hatred coding again, but got a job doing we dev for a vegan charity and that was it, he was back in the room since animal welfare was a major passion of his.

Find what it is you love (or at least like) and a job that will give you at least a small portion of that.
There's a bug difference between extremely complex c++ templates and std::unique_ptr, std::string_view, and constexpr. Also, I've heard many game devs still saying unit tests either take too long to write or they aren't helpful.
Just pointing out: while this implementation is absolutely non- trivial to study, everytime I take a look at the abseil source, I am delighted with the quality of inline comments.
I learned C with K&R (1st ed.) running on Unix v5. Have since upgraded to 2nd ed. and it is very dog-eared. Running mostly on NetBSD and Debian. But have written masses of code on a huge range of Unix systems, e.g. AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, etc.

As for p123, yeah mind boggling. But I have never had to do anything that complex in practice.

The best thing about well written C programs is that they port easily. I have 20+ year old programs that compile and run fine on new systems, even Mac OS/X. Have avoided porting to Windows. Most of my work is with servers and web front-ends. Lua and quickJS are great for implementing scripting on top of libraries of modules/functions written in C.
Python is probably easier to learn for most beginners, but that doesn’t mean it’s easier to write programs in. Context matters when talking about usability.

I’ve used functors and monads to solve tons of issues and have literally no clue about the theory behind them.

Regarding tinder being the absolute best presentation of these people: let this lesson sink into you, and take note whenever you see the tiniest evidence of it. You already understand this on some level, because you’ve seen profiles where you click through the pictures and say to yourself “hot, hot, hot, hot, WHOAH you accidentally left a real pic in there”. Now keep in mind that this carefully-curated-to-the-point-of-lying info doesn’t just apply to their looks. It’s their profession, their hobbies, how happy they appear to be, the tone of voice they write in, etc. it’s all handcrafted marketing.

I’ve met a lot of women from tinder and I can’t decide if this is a sad fact or encouraging to someone who doesn’t feel “good enough”, but you really can count on the profile to be a complete fiction in most cases. This is really useful though, if you can stop being impressed by the polished hotties and find the ones who are gems under the surface.

Either that or ditch tinder altogether. I don’t use it anymore but I still think it’s really useful as a tool if your only goal is finding someone to have a conversation with over a drink, and the expectation that you will NOT be making some kind of “love connection” with this person but it will be a fun experience anyway. Once you get there, you magically transform from a sweaty nervous loser on a “first date” to an actual person that the woman you’re having a drink with actually has a chance of finding interesting and charming. That’s the best tinder advice I can give and I really wish someone had given it to me when I was 23.

> carpet bombing Gaza indiscriminately

It's just their words against theirs.

I don't know what happened to the anti-Arab chanters, in my opinion, they should be sued (and arrested when appropriate). And "Israelis" did not shout those. They were from an ultra nationalist faction.

It's not Israelis vs. Palestinians. It's Hamas wanting to kill every Jew it can, and Israel attacking Hamas to save its citizens, and then innocent Palestinians getting killed because they were used as human shield by Hamas.

If Hamas stops ruling Gaza, and the leadership are properly brought to justice, and Israel still does what it is doing today, I will turn pro-Palestine in a heartbeat.

And honestly I don't like the power orthodox Rabbis have in Israel. I am opposed to clergy- Jew, Islamic, Hindu- does not matter.

I always thought this was an Android problem, so I nuked every default Google app. For some reason, Google search/voice app I probably used 6 times a year had ~500mb space. 300 of that was just "data" for god knows what. Gmail was reaching a gig. Youtube also half a gig even though I never save anything and maps was just wild. All these apps are over 200mb solo dolo. Why? One would think the best paid devs in the world, in one of the wealthiest companies in the world would ship the best apps.

They don't. Not even close. It's actually sad.
Where are these occupied territories?

"Arab" is not a religion, it's an ethnicity.

Blacks in SA did not have any rights. Arabs have rights in Israel.

It is not an apartheid.
Thanks for coming back to this.

Internet speeds in the UK are comparable with the US. Many parts of the world are not as fortunate, with bandwidth severely limited and extortionate data charges (unless it’s Facebook data, then it’s free?!). However, NUM doesn’t exist because the world has a bandwidth problem.

You’re right of course that it’s possible to provide machine readable contact data on the web. NUM doesn’t exist because it’s not technically possible to do the same thing with data on the web.

NUM exists because after 15 years of the semantic web, this data simply isn’t available for most businesses on the web.

Even large businesses - take any example from the homepage of the demo site CompanyDirectory.uk, and see how they’ve implemented semweb standards. How they list their phone numbers for example. It’s an utter mess. Good luck to anyone trying to build a reliable service on top of that data.
Nope, its not about having rights. That the comic version of apartheid.

Its about being an equal partner in the society to jointly and equally decide what are the rights and obligations of each member.

And that is a threshold Israel can never achieve. The Jewish majority unilaterally decides what the role of the Arabs are.

For example, the Jewish majority has, unilaterally and without explanation, decided that their Arabs countrymen are not fit for the obligation of conscription, for the privilege of defending Israel.

And we all know why.
