Does sex scene even sell a movie these days, the internet is saturated with porn.
When I grew up as 90s kiddy porn was hard to get by no one had acceptable internet.
Porn tv channels were all scrambled to pretty much white noise with sometimes a glimpse of a boob and a nipple.

We would get excited if a movie had like a nip slip in early puberty.
After like 2004 almost everybody had decent internet and access to porn.
Only exciting thing was maybe a leaked celeb sex tape.

I cannot imaging gen x or z even getting excited about a nip slip or boobs in a movie.
I've always read that something similar to this effect is the reason behind the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodo_bird_verdict and the effectiveness of talk therapy.

People just need to talk to someone who doesn't have ulterior motives, and without the need to maintain a relationship beyond the context of the conversation. Just being able to be honest without censorship, and to be exposed to direct criticism from someone who isn't afraid to hurt your feelings; just those things are healing and constructive.

As a counterpoint, I have found myself intentionally equivocating while talking about obscure programming topics because of my relationship with the person who I was having the conversation with and the fact that I knew that a lot of their identity was wrapped up in a particular position on that topic. You don't want to hurt someone who you want to talk to again.

Honest, deep exchanges with strangers can also be a crucible that finds people that you really do have a deep commonality with. If you're both completely unfiltered and still want to hang out with each other, that's a sign.

You could try my on-page SEO checker and best practices guide:

https://www.checkbot.io

It checks for SEO best practices that are mostly cited from things Google recommends e.g. avoid duplicate page titles, avoid temporary redirects, use human readable URL names, use canonical tags. Most of the tips are obviously beneficial for users too. I don't recommend paying attention to tricks that sound like they're trying to guess hidden details about how Google's algorithm works.

Following the above will give you a better chance of success by making your existing content more user and search-engine friendly but to get anywhere you must also be 1) publishing content and 2) getting backlinks.

Besides this, there's really no shortcuts. I find SEO news is mostly noise.

> The question is cogent, concise, and valid -- if you're a movie maker (motivated by money/fame/whatever) why would you try to contend with complex and difficult material if you could instead, as they author asks, more easily rake in billions by having two asexual fictional character punch aliens.

I guess my confusion is stemmed from the fact that I don't think sex scenes are inherently more complex and difficult than alien punching. Perhaps more difficult to sell due to ratings, but that's a given.

I'm not endorsing the way Marvel is making movies; I think it's quite formulaic and intellectually lazy. But on the other hand, sex can easily be just as formulaic and lazy. My opinion is that Marvel didn't include sex in their movies simply because PG-13 has a bigger market and makes more money. If sex would sell better, they'll put sex in there with very little effort, and it wouldn't make those movies any less formulaic.

Of course, I'm anything but a movie expert; sex might really be more difficult to contend with, but the author hardly provided any explanation to support this claim, and thus I remain unpersuaded.

And as a Chinese person, I'd suggest that Marvel is successful in China, because as formulaic as it is, it simply produces far better movie than current mainstream Chinese movies in almost every aspect. Chinese film making (mainstream) has been pacing backwards for at least the last decade.

I think you misunderstand what "smart" means. More likely what you think by "smart" is actually "smart, knowledgeable and wise".

Smart is only capacity for noticing and understanding new things. It does not mean the person has presently a lot of understanding of things (knowledge) or that it has good judgment to not say untrue things in area they have no idea about (wisdom).

A person that is smart but has little knowledge will not be able to keep up in discussion with you in your area of expertise even if they are actually more intelligent than you.

Give them some time and see if they can pick up things fast or are slow to understand new concepts. This is better way to judge if somebody is or is not smart.

**

Imagine following situation: you are talking about something you know a lot about with a person that has no knowledge in your field of expertise.

That person decides to learn your field.

Let's say, in 2 years they know more in your field than you will ever know and they even are able to get a lot of original insight that leads to some astounding accomplishments.

Ask yourself, was that person "not smart" when you first talked to him/her? Or maybe they were always smart but they still needed to invest at least some time and effort to learn the field?

From what I understand (from making similar complaints to Gophers), if you're complaining about boilerplate, you don't get it.

The boilerplate propagation is the point in Go.

Go isn't DRY. Go would rather copy and paste a bunch of code than introduce the "complexity" of inheritance.
You're taking my point to an extreme that obviously wasn't my intent. I never said that all sex in entertainment must be missionary position under sheets with the lights off between a Christian husband and wife.

First of all, it's rather interesting that you equate sex to taking a shit.

But also, what have you been watching to conclude that they don't show people eating on-screen? It's rather common, especially in film, to have characters eating real food. the primary reason it's not as frequent as in real life is because having actors eat food is actually a complicated thing to with multiple takes while maintaining continuity.
Also note that hierarchical databases saw a revival in the 90s as web was taking over and web data was mostly hierarchical. A few groups started works on building hierarchical database systems.

That didn't go anywhere. Review a few years later show all those buggy, crashed frequently and worst -- slower than just storing the hierarchical data into an RDBMS.
Ok, then what if we save some space for the single bit indicator (compressed/non compressed) by following a simple algorithm:

1. Look for at least two as long as possible identical peaces with arbitrary bit offset from the beginning.

2. Record value and length (common for all peaces) and offsets for each peace.

3. Create and prepend a header with following fields:
compressed_flag, piece length, pieces count, piece value, pieces offsets list, content

Obviously if the file is very small this approach will not work. But assuming that we know the file size (which is the loophole here), we can pre-calculate which is a threshold file size to consider to be with a header, and what is too short so uncompressed headerless content is being saved there.

P.S. To remove the loophole possibility the streams of data should be rather considered instead of files.

I've (probably?) found more linker vulnerabilities than anyone else, but don't really understand your argument. I definitely understand library search path vulnerabilities (I've literally found bugs in $ORIGIN parsing, e.g. CVE-2010-3847 was one of mine!).

We think security updates don't break API/ABI because they're backported to all previous major versions that are still actively supported. This isn't "thoughts and prayers", it's work that the packagers and maintainers do. I can't tell you how useful being able to fix a vulnerability in every program is, just think of updating every application that uses libpng on your desktop, or every server application that uses OpenSSL.

I just can't imagine wanting to give that up, because of name mangling ABI issues!

> I think Go tried to go fully static but ran into problems [...] So you can probably go fully static if you are only targeting Linux.

There's yet another problem Go ran into on Linux: resolving hostnames. The official way to resolve hostnames in a glibc-based system is to read /etc/nsswitch.conf, dynamically load the libraries referenced there, and call each of them in the correct order. Go tried to emulate that mechanism, going through glibc only when it saw a NSS module it didn't know, but that caused issues on musl-based systems which used a different mechanism (https://github.com/golang/go/issues/35305). And it cannot ever be fully static on glibc-based systems, since there's always the chance of someone adding a new module to /etc/nsswitch.conf (for instance, some Linux distributions have now added the newer "resolve" module to that line, so Go would have to implement yet another one to keep being fully static).

The Rust approach of dynamically linking to the shared C libraries (statically linking only the Rust libraries) avoided all these issues.
> Everyone in the PL community know about monads and macros but they are tools and people are rarely excited about tools.

I don't think that's true at all. Considering how much we hear about monads and macros compared to how much they are actually used, people are excited about them. People are excited about their tools, as they should be. There's this narrative that some people push on Hacker News that we are all some kind of cool rational engineers and that we don't act like other humans. This is absolutely wrong. People get emotional about tools all the time. This is this excitement that drives progress. Someone got excited about error messages, and now there is an industry-wide movement to improve them. This could have been done decades ago, but it wasn't because people just learned to live with their shitty tools.

While in the day to day life of a project you need people capable of doing the less-exciting stuff, usually at the beginning of something you need people excited to give birth to it.
I've been using Comply foam tips on in-ears for years. Most recently got some for my Air Pods Pro. They give a good seal, and they help keep the earbuds from slipping out. The downsides are that they aren't quite as easy to pop in (since you need to squish the foam and then let it expand inside), they can be irritating over long periods of time, and you will need to replace them every few months.

Despite those issues, I still find the foam tips far better than any silicone tip I've tried. Those never feel like they fit right, either being too small or feeling like they're so big that they're trying to pop themselves back out.

I'd like to see solutions like SDL2's become more widespread: https://old.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1upn39/sdl2_a... At runtime, the first call into SDL sets up a jump table for all SDL functions afterwards. When SDL is statically linked, it uses those static functions by default, but it's possible to specify an environmental variable pointing at an SDL dynamic lib, and the jump table will use those functions instead.
Not exactly what you are looking for but a related quote by Charles Bukowski: "The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence".

Often, on HN and Reddit, the most confident or authoritative sounding statements are also the most wrong. It always baffles me just how confident people can be in themselves when they really have no good basis for that confidence.

I think part of the problem is that we collectively tend to reward the "confident sounding" comments because we wrongly assume that only an actually knowledgeable person would have authored them.

Not French but I've felt this too -- purely on an aesthetic level I enjoy the artwork of Tintins, Asterixes, and even older American superhero comics, because of the simpler, more traditionally comic-like artwork.

Modern comics have more realistic colors but appear "over-pencilled"[1,2] somehow.

> Java (and C# and C++) have become kitchen sink sink languages. Everything is just thrown in.

This is far from the truth when it comes to Java. Java doesn't add features willy nilly. They are thought out, and in general implemented better than in other languages. Java's WHOLE philosophy is to move slow and let other languages experiment with features so the kitchen sink doesn't get thrown in because Java has _actual_ backwards compatibility promises and has to support those features for eternity.

I see the same in the news a lot. When you are deep in an industry you see all the important errors they make reporting on what happened often missing the point entirely while making something else up. At any reasonable niche the amount of people who likely can have a quality opinion on something is really quite small and that includes alas the journalists who didn't grasp the details when they interviewed the experts.

> Compiler and hardware technology have advanced to the point where a loop using array indices can be as efficient as a loop using pointer arithmetic.

I literally refactored some code from index arithmetic to pointer arithmetic and bought a 10% increase in performance for an (admittedly silly) numerical performance contest on Friday, so I'm not convinced either LLVM or the "jit compiler that reorders operations inside the x86 chip" are that smart yet.

That said I would not doubt that most modern languages convert iterables that look like index arithmetic into pointer arithmetic, but if they do so I would suspect it's at an IR level above the general compiler backend.
