Agreed. I had to read it more than twice to get what he was talking about. I'd say that the the only reason I bothered is that I usually like patio11's insights so I figured it was worth trying to understand it.

Since I'm not a gamer, I got distracted trying to understand a lot of the game stuff and why it was so relevant to what he was getting at.

ps, I like your tl;dr :-)
> and dozens of surveys on how my generation (millenials) and younger (zoomers) are more lonely, having less sex, having less friends, and less happy than previous generations

There is no causation link here.

There are plenty of other massive social upheavals going on that are likely tied into this. The pandemic. Political acrimony. Impending impact of climate change. Helicopter parenting. Economic difficulties and uncertainty for younger generations. Facebook and other social media. Celebrity obsession. Abuse of addictive patterns in gaming apps.

We’ve created a world where people’s real life prospects are dwindling and yet there’s cheap, easy, and unlimited access to virtual dopamine generators. While porn is certainly a contributor, I don’t see any evidence that it’s an outsized one or that it deserves to be singled out from the myriad ways we’ve ruined things for future generations.

Also and more directly to the point, GP was addressing GGP categorizing porn consumers as “sex addicts, lonely guys, social weirdos”. The vast majority of the western world—including women—consume some amount of pornography. They just do it overwhelmingly in private, which is why such a stigma exists. Paying for it is not necessarily indicative of it being a problem for these people, in the same way that paying for music or other media isn’t. It’s just a changing of the norm to one that is frankly an extreme improvement for the women who do this as a profession.
Literally ripped out of reality. Teleported to another time and place. It totally disrupts your senses from reality, and substitutes something else. One time I recall seeing the walls growing with vines like snakes, and being transported to a place with purple light.

This is what I hate about the category system - it's entirely wind based and while that's important, rainfall and direction of wind (for coasts) is what's most important. Cat 2 can be worse than Cat5 also because they move slower so more inches of rain per hour.
You're entirely right and there's some weird anti-capitalism fringes creeping into HNews... which is a really odd place to entertain anti-capitalist views.
Redux is to React what the 'update' function is to Elm architecture (first code example in the following link)

https://guide.elm-lang.org/

Answering your question, the difference is Elm has a more expressive type system than javascript, and will catch a lot of errors for you, with excellent error reporting from the compiler.

The layout of the code becomes less important, because the compiler will catch most errors (actually recommended in elm guides not to split in too many files until overwhelmingly necessary)

The server sides are typically set up with some flexibility to account for the latency and avoid this UX issue. They will have a window to accept the previous/next code even after the new becomes active.

To avoid replays, though, this should be reset once a code is accepted: only subsequent codes should be accepted afterwards.

So when code N is the "correct" code, any of N-1, N, or N+1 will be accepted. But if N is entered, only N+1 and onwards should be accepted for later attempts.
Maybe, but I don’t think the track record shows that.

IMO the more likely consequence is that the populace continues to lose the respect and trust for their governments. This started with banning plastic straws (now you get a paper straw wrapped in plastic!) and it’s accelerated since the start of the pandemic.
Parameters have zero bearing on whether you should dynamically construct SQL strings. If parameters can solve all of your problems, you don't have a dynamic SQL query, you have user-submitted values in a WHERE clause.

What can be parameterized depends wildly on the SQL database in question. I haven't used one that could parameterize table names (for use in dynamic JOINs or CTEs) and many cannot parameterize values outside of a WHERE clause. Dynamically selecting which function to call, clauses to add or subtract, and sort orders are just a slice of places parameters don't help.

In short, parameters alone do no eliminate the need for a query builder. A good query builder should appropriately parameterize values as the underlying database supports and hopefully uses a type system or validation to constrict the domain of values it uses to construct parts of the expression that cannot be parameterized.

The $10 Pi is not the same kind of bird as the Honeycomb and the RPi 4 lacks the expandable memory, storage and pretty much everything else.

How would the North Atlantic avoid that charge?
Yeah, but why?

You are talking tactics, not strategy. What are the underlying goals?
Yikes. 30% of Cosmos DB customers were vulnerable to this attack.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the details of this exploit. It sounds like it was a service authorization that failed to check account boundary limits. That is a massive failure for a serverless database.

Putting aside this specific failure, the way all the cloud providers are trying to interconnect their service offerings makes me increasingly nervous. It is too easy to accidentally grant overly permissive IAM policies without realizing it.
Lithuania would get invaded long before Estonia, after all, once Lithuania is 'done' the rest of the Baltics will be cut off from Western Europe by land.

Note that it is only a very tiny strip of land that separates the Russian enclave at the Baltic sea from Belarus, a country very much friendly to Russia. I'd happily bet that there are many different plans on how to occupy that strip in a hurry should it come to that and just as many plans on how to deal with those attempts.

Target remote opportunities for companies that are NOT large enough / sophisticated enough to have a policy. They just want good engineers to write code. When they want you, they want to. The hiring manager will make it HR's problem.

- I live in a high COL Canada city

I’ve thought about that too. It should always show two codes (the current one and the previous one), and websites should accept both. Then when you open the app, you can always start typing the most recent one and have at least the whole interval to type it in

The problem is that the eye is not the most damaging part, it's the right side of the eye that's funneling water from the Gulf onto the land that's got the most damage potential. From that link it looks like New Orleans is in a much worse situation than if it were to receive a direct hit.

>Oh, and evacuations kill people in themselves (Car accidents, the sick and infirm, etc, etc). Do too many false alarm evacuations, and you'll kill more people than the storms would have.

I can vouch for this. Deadlocked roads with cars with nowhere to go in the middle of summer heat for hours or even days on end. Limited gas, limited food and water, no proper medical care. Not a safe environment. Evacuations aren't in any way risk free.

There were 111 deaths related to Hurricane Rita in the state of Texas. The three direct deaths were from wind blown trees. A majority of the deaths (90/108 or 83.3%) were related to the mass evacuation process.
Not everyone is making a web app, or even something amenable to using React native, and even if they are, there's no guarantee that their middle tier isn't also in JavaScript.

That said, I wasn't making a case about replacing your DBMS. I specifically avoided that because yes, most people stay with what they know and used, and even if they switch, they switch for a different project, not within the same project. There are some cases where multiple DBMS back-end support is useful, but I think that's a fairly small subset (software aimed towards enterprises which wants to ease into your existing system and note add new requirements, and open source software meant to use one of the many DBMS back-ends you might have).

My actual point is more along the lines of:

- Most DBMS hosted languages I've seen are pretty shitty in comparison to what you're already using.

- The tooling for it is likely much worse or possibly non-existent.

- You are probably less familiar with it and likely to fall into the pitfalls of the language. All languages have them, shitty languages have more. See first point.

- If you accept those points and the degree to which you accept them should definitely play a role in deciding to use stored procedure you've written in the language your DBMS provides.

- I think trade offs are actually similar to what you would see writing chunks of your program in bash and calling out to that bash script. People can write well designed and safe bash programs. It's not easy, and there are a lot of pitfalls, and you can do it in the main language you're writing probably. Thus the reasons against calling out to bash for chunks of core are likely similar to the reasons against calling a stored procedure.
> Everyone knows what people go there for.

I don’t think so. I’ve talked to people who use onlyfans and most are truly delusional. In that they think the site runner cares about them and responds just to them. It’s almost harder than physics sex work because few people think the prostitute cares about them.

I had people swear that when someone wished them happy birthday, they cared because “they didn’t have to do that.”
The original poster made a comment about grinding to get a math PhD. You said Terrence Tao is a blatant counter example to that. I posted (I'll concede that I probably didn't display great quotes from the article or provide enough context) an article about Terrence Tao almost failing his PhD generals exam, which I thought would lend some evidence to the idea of grinding for the PhD, which is the original point under discussion. Since he passed the generals and he didn't prepare very well for it, may be you're right and that is weak evidence. I think the article does provide some evidence that others who were studying for their PhD in math at Princeton while Terrence Tao was studying for his were not relying solely on intelligence alone. Perhaps I'm wrong on that point too.

However, I don't think you're trying to criticize the article as bad evidence in relation to achieving a math PhD. You're going on about academia having low stakes and academia not representing real life. If I'm mis-characterizing this, then I apologize. I do believe you're moving the goal posts in this discussion. The original article posted is about math graduate school. That's all. It's not about real life. The first two sentences in the article establish this point.

> Relying on intelligence alone to pull things off at the last minute may work for a while, but, generally speaking, at the graduate level or higher it doesn’t.

> One needs to do a serious amount of reading and writing, and not just thinking, in order to get anywhere serious in mathematics;

If they stopped sticking with Yelp, they would fare far better in my book. Reviews are a big part of what makes Google Maps awesome... for travel I use Apple Maps because the GPS voice on Google Maps is obnoxious and I don't like the UI that much, but Google Maps has a big win with reviews.
Dear Google, I don't want to leave a review of my grocery store, it was cute the first time where I gave a 2/5 and said "not enough juggalos"...it was still kind of cute the second time I was asked to review the same grocery store, this time a 2/5 and "too many juggalos".

But now I'm out of ideas, and I'm still asked to review the same God damn grocery store every couple of weeks.

Yeah, it does. I'm often tempted to quit it because it's owned by Facebook, but my objection to Facebook is mostly their lack of content moderation and I feel that's less of a problem on Instagram. It's a poor justification and I don't feel great about it.

It doesn't matter whether it's the current or former coverage that was misinformation, what matters is we will never find out the truth if we ban the side currently deemed "misinformation" from making its case.

Does your wife sleep?
I flew to Spain the other day (intra EU). I'm vaccinated but my wife is not, so she did a rapid antigen test the day before. To fly to Spain you need to fill out a form online which generates a QR code, which is then validated when you land.

I uploaded the EU-wide certificate which was validated, and out came my code. For my wife I had to manually type in details of the test, it wouldn't let me upload the certificate, but said someone would check it on arrival.

When we landed they just scanned the QR codes and sent us on our way... At departure they just asked if we had the QR code. Nobody asked to see her certificate.
Pretty much. A couple of summers ago I stayed for a late August weekend at Hilton Head S.C. and going into the ocean was like getting into a hot tub. It was actually too warm, not at all refreshing from the 100+F day -- the Hotel pool was much cooler.

It was really eye-opening actually.
It most certainly is not difficult. The ethics of it are exceptionally straightforward.

Greed is at the root of your conundrum. Put that aside, and you'll see more clearly.
I think a bigger and fundamental question is, does America want to be an Empire or just another country.

Non-empires do not establish bases far away from home. Non-empires do not seek to make governments in their image. Non-empires do not attempt to bring democracy to those who are not used to it.

Empires do all these things, and they are costly to maintain in blood and treasure but do provide some benefits in return.

Whatever the choice, it should be made with clear eyed rationalism without such emotional appeals as “exporting freedom” (which has been used by both the Athenian Empire and Rome (ironically when it conquered Greece from the Macedonians)).

The answer to the question drives everything.
I am deeply annoyed by ads with bad context fit.
When I read about something I don't want my attention to be hijacked to other topics.

E.g. when I look at code I don't want ads for photography equipment, but ads for coding courses or books may be juuust acceptable. It also has the nice benefit of not needing personalization, so the sibling comments' points are also included.

Sennheiser Helps Arabic Content Creators Get Their Message Across
I think we have a problem now that certain large media organizations and government are directing the narrative. They put out what they want in the media, they control what's there. These large parties are dictating what's misinformation, and the big problem is that large amounts of people are just accepting it. That then feeds the "hive mind" where anyone who does not share that "popular" opinion/viewpoint are ostracized. To make matters worse, in most cases now it's black and white - either you're for or against. You can't be undecided - that automatically puts you on the "against" side of things. As well, for the most part the likelihood of civil discussion with those on the side of the sponsored viewpoint is just not going to happen.
It's funny how closely some implementations can come to IEEE 754 yet not show the same issues. The first example, which takes just 54 iterations to finish on a typical system, runs forever on a VAX, for instance, which is to say that all the world isn't IEEE 754, but accuracy and rounding issues should always be considered.
Also, lots of single atoms also pack the same voltage as an AAA battery. (It's why an AAA battery has the voltage it does).

Size to voltage is irrelevant. It's a potential. Current or total stored energy is much more interesting.
This is pretty standard - most Apple ecosystem users tend to be somewhere between 2-3x more measurably valuable, whether App store v Play store revenue [1] or as audience segments in advertising.

Not quite. Weapon use would be possible as "Rechtfertigender Notstand", https://dejure.org/gesetze/StGB/34.html . This doesn't just include protection of ones own life, but also of property. However, the force used has to be suitable and proportionate, so shooting someone dead would not be justified. Injuring someone would usually be justified, but will always land in front of a judge to apply 20/20 hindsight. And no one wants to accept that risk.
Nothing new folks. 23 years ago I bought a RIVA TNT video card (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIVA_TNT) where early models (and, conveniently, the ones sent to reviewers) were clocked at 110Mhz. They silently clocked them down to 90Mhz after a month or so before I got mine.

“The TNT shipped later than originally planned, ran quite hot, and was clocked lower than Nvidia had planned at 90 MHz instead of 110 MHz. Originally planned specifications should have placed the card ahead of Voodoo2 in theoretical performance for Direct3D applications, but at 90 MHz it did not quite match the Voodoo2”

Enemy diversity is just part of another big issue for me: General gameplay diversity. Most of the stuff the game has you do outside of story content is just fighting the same enemies or boss types. There's no unique dungeons or bosses, the "domains" you need to farm for gear are all just waves of enemies, daily quests are just killing enemies, etc. There's rarely any unique mechanics or novel ideas that actually change the way you play, which makes the game get stale fast.

I think your "larger male that can still safely run every week" perspective is skewing your understanding of this problem. It is perfectly reasonable to expect weight loss of that magnitude to take that long for people that are older, sicker, or just not male. Moreover, you starting BMR often is significantly higher than it will be when you finish a crash diet, so if you tabulated 2000 a day at the start, that can be as low 1400 by the end coming out of starvation.

I'm happy you've found a method of weight loss that works for you.
The way I lost weight was more extreme, but similar.
However, you shouldn't universalize your personal experience as hidden wisdom.

I'm not saying some areas don't suffer huge losses and this might be a bit of survivorship bias, but living in Miami for 35 years, homes built from cinderblock with roofs secured with hurricane straps -- which have been part of the building code for 30+ years now -- don't really see much damage other than the odd missing roof tile and maybe a bit of water intrusion from the wind, but it's not as dramatic as the media portrays it in _most_ areas.

I'd say the major threats are fallen power lines, downed trees, and CO poisoning from generator misuse. We'll get routine summer monsoons that bring more damage than some category 1 hurricanes at times, so unless it's a direct hit from a major hurricane I try not to panic too much so long as we have supplies.
I'm not sure this is how WYSWYG really works.

There's only one MyFancyTextEditor widget definition, a blueprint so to speak. It's IDs refer to other things inside that blueprint.

But at runtime, we might instantiate two different MyFancyTextEditors, one for view A and one for view B. They probably shouldn't share IDs, lest we run into confusion.

I think WYSWIG is more like defining a class, whereas at runtime we'd be serializing instances.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, I admit I've never been down this line of thought!
