$7000? Sounds like dating apps are wildly underpriced, or they are not fit for purpose. Likely a bit of both. A girlfriend of mine once used a matchmaking service for profesionals that was priced in the $10k range and the stories she told me about them all seemed to have the similar theme, where if you want a person to represent something in your life (wife, partner, husband, etc.), it's a recipe for disappointment.

Durable relationships with friends are ones that just work because you don't freight it with external meaning. That we use a noun for a "relationship" between people at all is probably the root of a lot of its difficulty. Relationships as things are intractable, whereas relating and choosing how you relate is the simplest thing in the world. It's as though we codified relating into a noun so we could trade it, which makes sense when you look at "being in a relationship" as a proxy for being property, and matchmaking services that want to sell you one.

Intimacy does require a shared perimeter of safety, trust, and exclusivity relative to that specific personal intimacy, and you need to maintain it, but reducing it to role-playing expectations just turns it into a power struggle in the guise of a game.

For a lot of people, marriage is basically a dead institution, but we still go looking for someone to "make" a marriage with, as though it's a thing you make that is abstracted from the people involved. The same can be said for family, where we relate to "the family" as our reflection against an ideal of family, instead of each person directly.

Maybe I've been into the stoics too much, but the simple mental rephrasing of "my partner," to "the partner I have" changes how you relate to them, from being an extension or reflection of yourself to being an experience in your life, and it takes a lot of pressure off how you relate to them.

That last statement is a destroyer of codependent relationships, which is probably good because someone spending thousands of dollars to find someone to represent their idea of a "relationship," in which they like their reflection in it is just going to suffer. That is, until they don't need to check a reflection to know they're good.
I’m not totally sure what you mean there? I’m not saying that all mentally ill people are prone to that, I’m just saying the inverse: that most people who are prone to that are mentally ill. It’s certainly a very very small subset of mentally ill people, if that’s what you mean.
It's also nothing like Javascript because Rust is statically typed. If you accidentally insert a semi-colon (or not), you're almost guaranteed to get a compile error.

They are just into realpolitik. They will switch their purchases from Australia to the US despite the strategic rivalry because it is in their interest to increase economic dependence there. They will tolerate far more transgression from the US but if others follow they will be sure to set an example of them.
I totally agree with you about tooling being the major hurdle, and I would like to also note your particular case: deploying Elixir/Erlang the first-time is a real motherfucker.

I've deployed (server-side) code in Ruby, Python, PHP, Java, .NET, JavaScript, and probably a couple others I forgot about... but among all of those Erlang/Elixir was by far the most difficult first-time deploy (as an OTP application). It has gotten infinitely better, but probably only for those of us who have been doing it for a while (6+ years doing Elixir professionally for me). For your particular case, let me see if I can help you out ('cuz I've definitely been there).

It now mostly boils down to, use mix release:

https://hexdocs.pm/mix/1.12/Mix.Tasks.Release.html#module-te...

with the "secret sauce" being to setup a build server where you will build the production release. You'll want the same flavor/version of Linux you plan on deploying to, and then copy the build artifact (tarball) from your build server to your application server (or somewhere else in-between).

One other thing to note, there's a good chance (because everyone does this) that you'll have some broken environment variables, or module attributes, because you thought they were set at runtime but they are in-fact set at compile time.

Maybe I should write that blog you're looking for...

I mean, sure. The moral question is important! But I was starting from a thread of people who didn't understand the real-life character of the Israeli-American relationship.

If you're trying to describe the actual actions of the parties involved, morality is not a useful analytical or predictive tool; that comes into play when you yourself try to act.
> How is this the top reply?

Because I replied early? I dunno, only 3 points. [edit - -1 points :P. So sad :( ]

His idea is doomed because he says, "I'm looking for somebody who has a kind heart, someone who's curious and maybe has a sense of humour, it doesn't have to be my sense of humour."... and he's depending on other people, with their own sensibilities and emotions, to identify people he might fit with?

This is not new. People forever (perhaps more often women) have been motivated to play matchmaker for their friends. If that method were most successful, dating apps wouldn't exist.

Another reason his idea is doomed is because he put money on it. That provides a perverse incentive which favors the person who can provide him the most dates (who can superficially entertain him until he weds one).

What you call unsubstantiated I call obvious.

2. Who out there believes that Tinder is where you find your life mate? Maybe it is now, I dunno... but it was certainly a hookup app for the first many years of its existence.

3. A friend is going to be more accurate than you would if you got to know someone naturally and fell in love with them?

4. Absolutely not unsubstantiated. Put any money value on something, and hordes of hungry gamers (not gamers, but gamers) will find a way to take the shotgun approach. After all, if one of his friends is able to keep his calendar booked with prospects, then that friend is more likely to win the prize.
The Ajax alternative is fetch, the native browser API which has excellent polyfills for the server which enable JavaScript to be isomorphic and dynamic to users and search engines. Basically your code will run as expected on the client or server, so fully rendered pages can be served - even if it needs to call an API to populate content.

https://youmightnotneedjquery.com/ Is this the kind of thing you were mentioning? Maybe it’s been a while, but if you Google “you don’t need jquery” you’ll find plenty like this and it seems to explain well enough.
For starters, the pool of people on say, Tinder, for example, is already disproportionately imbalanced in terms of represented populations (as I said, 10:1). Assuming an even distribution of “attractiveness” (which obviously isn’t straightforward to quantify and varies by locale), there’s already a huge discrepancy: even a woman of average attractiveness (of ten women 1-10, she ranks a 5) has fifty (given ten women, there are a hundred men in total) that rank below, in terms of attractiveness. When you have a limited number of right swipes a day, well below the number of available options that _do_ qualify, and nearly every right swipe is a match, it leads to a conditioned behavior of selecting well above one’s “rank”. Of course, online dating apps have no interest in removing the barriers that result in this condition — it makes men pay more for more swipes, higher priority in the stacks shown to women, and the option to see who swiped on them. In other words, it’s a rigged game.
This is a big "that depends" - what market are they addressing? What kind of capital do they need? IMO, they are doing the right thing by avoiding VC cash early on. No better example of this than Mailchimp.

In no political expert but it seems like the choice was between France:

If the Chinese start pushing Aus around and we need help, the French would point to the EU tying their hands while they pat their pocket full

This decision is not just a embarrassment for France but it’s a vote of no confidence on the EU’s willingness to deter China.

Contribute to collect resources to learn about Bitcoin and blockchain
Passionate about programming and cryptocurrencies, I have created a repository to collect resources to allow people to learn about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general.
There is no structure of the document yet but I would like to put together the basics and make a document that meets the needs of a maximum of people.

If you are interested and want to participate clone the github repository and let's all contribute and build an information warehouse to prepare the future generation on bitcoin and blockchain.

Thank you all.

> Afghanistan was a live combat training exercise. It gave valuable experience to career officers who will lead the U. S. Military for the next 30 years

I served in the Marines and we were well aware people, especially those with combat experience, were leaving hand over fist. Amos was commandant during my time, and this article tells some of the story about what happened: https://taskandpurpose.com/news/the-marines-corps-needs-to-c...
I appreciate your response and agree with what you have said.

I cannot undo what I've said - it is clearly very incorrect. I would like to retract it.

Do you have any recommendations for getting better at critical thinking? How can it be practiced in a way that doesn't get you banned when making mistakes?

I really would like to avoid making these sorts of mistakes in the future.

My first patch to an open-source project ever was to GIMP, as a 16-year-old with zero OSS experience. I actually didn't have much problems getting it merged, so I don't think it was as insular as you make it out. :-) But it wasn't a huge rearchitecting, like 16-bit support is.

Part of the problem as I saw it is that GIMP felt into a second-system effect, where they would do things “right” using GEGL instead of taking back the Film GIMP patches, and GEGL took literally 15 years before it worked reasonably well.

I don't understand your point. Are we 'same' (your first sentence) or are we not 'same' (your second sentence)?

My copy and I are different persons because my copy has its own mind in its own brain in its own body. Just like you and I. Why would there be any more reason to think my copy and I are the same self, than to think you and I are the same self?

Again, how do you resolve making several copies?

> What I've found in practice is that at least when it comes to application code, these are rarely needed and cause more obfuscation than benefit

In application code, maybe; it seems to be more the kind of type-system feature that is useful in enabling more powerful libraries of abstractions than doing much for applications, as such, given the assumption of equivalent available libraries.

OTOH, while language expressive power isn't the only factor in what libraries are written in and for it, it is a factor.
I agree. What I wrote is incorrect.
How would one circumvent the need to copy traffic between different userspace processes before it leaves the host in the case of a userspace tunnel implementation? With a kernel implementation, the userspace process sends some data to a socket, and then the kernel can directly pass the data to the tunnel implementation with as little copying as the design for the kernel allows, and as little context switching as the design allows.
or what?
Thank you for the clarification. I knew it was possible if you installed a work-provided certificate. I was not sure it was possible without one.

You don't have to use agent forwarding to connect to servers behind a firewall! You can use SOCKS forwarding or static port forwarding in an ssh session to the bastion host, then a ProxyCommand option to tell the second ssh to tunnel over the first ssh.

However, it can still be useful to use different keys for different purposes; as the article explains, by default, ssh presents all your public keys to the remote server so it can identify you, which can be a privacy concern.

Apparently Hacker News is similar to other outlets— you cannot criticize Israel or Judaism without getting flagged or banned. Zero criticism allowed, only positive thoughts allowed.
Seems to be rather a bad faith argument to suggest that they're not also against that drone strike. Maybe you'd like to suggest they're advocating for the genocides of Uyghurs and Rohingyas because they didn't mention those either.
It's interesting to me that programming language designers basically always get date/time libraries wrong, and it takes multiple tries to get it right. Just look at the atrociousness of the original java.util.Date and Calendar APIs, and then there was joda-time, and finally that was rolled into the core java.time package. JS is similar, the core JS Date object has many of the same problems as java.util.Date, and so we now have multiple attempts at getting a sane date/time library.

Curious, are there other languages where people feel this date/time mess does not exist?

The world is mired in IPSEC and OpenVPN, two of the Internet's great buzzing stagnant water pools. Part of the reason for that is that proponents (anyone who has gotten IPSEC working is inclined to be a proponent, since it's an investment of effort and brain space one might reasonably hope would pay off) can appeal to standards, known-quantity-ism, and multi-vendor ecosystems.

Legacy VPN protocols fare terribly against WireGuard on what should be the most important concern, of design and implementation security. But the reasons why are, though obvious to people with domain expertise, subtle enough that you can't mic-drop them in a conversation and expect to overcome the standard "but it's standard" objection in favor of IPSEC.

Performance has been a potent tool of persuasion for WireGuard. I've convinced people based on WireGuard speed that I don't think I could have persuaded based on security.

If the goal is getting people off fetid 1990s-grade cryptography and C code, WireGuard's performance is an indirect force towards that goal. It was smart to focus on it, because people obviously care a lot about it. It's great to see a security project where simplicity and performance line up with improved security.
I didn't see that. I retract everything I said. It was not a well thought out comment.
iPhone 7 Plus, iCloud for backing up photos, a pair of AirPods Pros, Spotify, and that's about it.

It all works wonderfully well. At some point, I might upgrade to iPhone 13 or 14 (whichever one they just announced), though I don't really need to. For e-mail, I just use the default Mail app. The battery life on this thing, after ~4 years, is surprisingly great. The Settings app has a menu that tells me my battery holds up to ~89% charge. Good enough I think.

What I really like about the AirPods is I can really easily switch between my MacBook and my iPhone. And the one time I misplaced them (leaving them in the office), I was able to quickly figure out where they were using the Find my app.
> Afghanistan was a live combat training exercise. It gave valuable experience to career officers who will lead the U. S. Military for the next 30 years.

Experience at losing embarrassingly. (To guerrillas it created, no less!)

> The U.S. military can land 10’s of thousands of troops, with a support supply line any where in the world on less than 24 hours notice, along with all the firepower that comes with those troops.

You'd think that, wouldn't you? But it's a paper tiger: post-Vietnam, the US takes great (but quiet) care to ensure that the big song and dance is only deployed on some dirt-poor hellhole with no capable conventional fighting force to withstand the first few episodes of an erect Wolf Blitzer watching B1's firebomb civilians. After a little while, it either leaves in "triumph" (Panama, Grenada, Gulf War I) or it stays and gets bent over the barrel by the insurgencies that inevitably form from the remnants of the regime it invaded (Afghanistan, Gulf War II). It's only good at shooting fish in a barrel and making it look like Michael Bay movie. But after falling on its face so hilariously in Vietnam it knows it can't handle much more than that.

> To “win” in Afghanistan would require slaughtering about half the population of the country, something the U.S. military could easily do

You know I almost agree with you, but it's plain that when the US military sets its mind to something, failing miserably at that thing can't be far behind. (Unless that something is using our Nintendo pilots to remote-control-incinerate a high school graduation. So you may be right after all.)

> but it would make the U.S. into an international pariah

More than it already is, somehow?

> If the U.S. sovereignty was actually threatened all but the nuclear weapons would be unleashed, including all the top secret weapons that have been developed since the Gulf War, it would probably seem like Star Wars.

A cursory glance at the average BMI of our professional fighting forces leads me to suspect that the only similarity to Star Wars in such a scenario would be to scenes involving Jabba the Hutt.

> Nothing you said in this post addresses why margins need to be a relative percentage instead of an absolute amount

1. nothing you said here refutes anything I did say.

2. you made no case for margins that would be independent of costs

3. I did make a case for why at least a portion of margins would would be relative to costs, which would make margins relative to costs.

4. also I did mention equity which means I did go beyond credit, and equity rates of return vs credit rates of return are the same math, it's just the discussion of financial risk that I left out because it is a complex subject

also I added an addendum based on your criticism.

You should say how you think this should work so people can learn from you.
I believe this for a lot of the people who support policies or politicians.

I doubt whether this extends to the politicians / executives enacting those policies. They will certainly frame it like that, but for a lot of them, their underlying thinking is going to be much more self-serving and about manipulating the narrative.

Compliance can definitely be a challenge with pharma in pill form, but even with a modest amount of effort, it would radically reduce transmission throughout a population as those who are able to adhere to the dosage schedule would act as a firebreak in the greater population. Like those who are vaccinated against high transmission communicable diseases.

The UK is on track to eliminate HIV transmission within the decade [1] [2] assuming PrEP use within and near high risk populations. So, to answer your question ("is everyone going to take PrEP all of the time?"), that seems like a reasonable solution until a vaccine is approved for prevention and a CRISPR protocol is developed for therapy in the already infected. It may even take some time for HIV production to ramp, making prEP even more important so the at risk don't get complacent and an unnecessary bump in infections occurs.

(it's important to note that kidney function should be monitored in those on PrEP)
