What's been most painful for me is that I was a few months away from a promotion to being a Principal engineer. I didn't feel like it was deserved since I only really worked on one (very important, very large, very visible) piece of the product. I was getting to the point of pretty extreme burnout and the last thing I wanted was a promotion!

I had thought that a switch to another company to work on new things would "fix" my burnout since it would be such a different problem space. New problems means new learning means more energy!

I couldn't have been more wrong. Leaving the comfort of something I knew to jump into the deep end of an entirely new stack just exacerbated the burnout. I've never wanted to change careers more than I have now.

So I say to you- take a break! I only had two weeks off between jobs which was just enough to start to feel relaxed. If possible, I'd suggest taking at least a month off.
Society sees the success of outlier men and concludes that men overall have the better of the lives.

The truth is that the majority of males in nature and in society, on average, has a worse lives because the dynamic of being a male causes a feast for a few and a famine for most.

Genetics gambles more with males than females because males can produce, rarely, a very large genetic return that females can't. This is easily explained by the rate limit of children for females but not for males.

This shows up in intelligence, strength, genetic disorders, etc. Male genetics are just more varied.

The average of mens lives, by rule, will therefore be worse for most and great for a few.

I know this is a sensitive subject but it would be nice to have a real conversation about it.

There's a lot of evidence that males are, on average, the more miserable of the sexes but their misery is ugly and ignored. They die sooner by suicide and drug overdose. They have less friends, and are more depressed. There's a lot of reasons for this but I believe genetics is at the core.

Society could help here by recognizing this and trying to push against it - promoting a more social man, for example. But the predisposition is here to stay.

Individually, I'd say being more compassionate and outgoing to those creepy/ugly/weird males is something we all should think to do. Society seems to give us a pass at being not nice to these guys. I certainly don't think it's right though I admit guilt at times here.

Our current TLS PKI is already government controlled PKI. Several governments control their own certificate authorities. Perhaps it's better this way because at least it's not just the American government, bit it's hardly an argument against the change.

I don't really see what the "1990s design" argument is all about. If we'd design such a system today, we'd get the same system with maybe some more JSON or a blockchain of sorts, centralised around a few profit-oriented companies. Look at DoH (the version with and without the intermediate proxy server) to see what I mean.

You're right that the idea of assumptions about CPU power for DNS servers are outdated, but with modern software that's hardly a problem. DNS servers already solve this problem in every existing DNSSEC server I know.
> in this case the rewarding effect of acoustic stimuli in humans, can be powerfully maximized. There must exist patterns in music-space that would have profoundly greater impact on human minds than those our low-wattage brains can find.

There is a huge presumption here which is that all humans share the same reward maximization function. In other words, that culture, upbringing, personal history, and random variation don't strongly affect it. I don't see much evidence that this is true.

It's more likely that, yes, there are sounds that have profoundly great effects on people, but each has their own. I would be very surprised if some AI trained on a global dataset could produce a set of sinusoids that tickled my neurons to anywhere near the same degree as the sound of my daughter's voice saying she loves me, or the song I heard when I was falling in love for the first time.

Remember, each of us is our own unique highly mutable neural net too.
One of these things is not like the others. I really wouldn't put Apple in that group.

The only reason I can think of even putting them in a nearby group is because of App Store restrictions, but you can still sideload your own code, and it doesn't apply to Macs at all.
Though I somewhat agree with you, I can't help but think there's a bit of a double standard here with man-hating being taken less seriously than woman-hating. In the linked wapost article, there is even an anecdote where the trans man hears a woman saying "men are such a-holes" on the bus, and how the author is certain the situation would have played out very differently if the genders were reversed.

Support communities for men probably attract men who are disillusioned with women, in the same way support communities for women are likely to attract women who are disillusioned with men. Is it any surprise the conversation is going to drift at some point to less-than-charitable over-generalizations about the other sex? (e.g. among sexual assault survivors)

I do think there is a point there though, because there is a subtle difference between an emotional overgeneralization made by a sympathetic victim (which is probably not a good idea to censor if you want to actually help these men), and more insidious misogyny. It doesn't help that the former is sometimes purposefully mischaracterized as the latter by opponents of men's issues, however.
I don't see it as relying on them, but instead adding an additional extremely compelling of evidence that backs up the core hypothesis. Nearly all complex issues have to be attacked and backed up from many different directions.
Thanks for including the word "supposedly".

Would be great if we could try this out without having to compile it - since it's Rust hopefully providing compiled builds for different platforms (maybe via GitHub Actions compiling and attaching them as GitHub releases) would be feasible.

Signing binaries on macOS is a bit of a pain though, but they could always distribute those preview binaries with a warning and instructions on how to disable that security check.
To the people who are arguing some variation of "Colonialism is actually a net GOOD for the colonized people!!"[1], I'd like to point out that this us NOT really an example of the "economic West" [2] colonizing China. Rather, it is the Chinese government allowing their workers to be exploited, with the complicity of the West. The Chinese government hopes to gain technological and economic parity or superiority to the economic West, all at the cost to the likes of Xu Lizhi. Cheap goods and labor are the bait offered to the West.

Western consumers are happy to lose their jobs over time in exchange for cheap goods. Western industrialists are happy to gain short term profits at the expense of long term decline. Western governments are happy to allow poor policy that allows this to happen because the industrialists have the best lobbyists.

Clearly there are more players in this game than just "Western consumers" and "Chinese factory workers". It's wrong to put the burden of responsibility just on the consumers. Policy played a big role in getting us into this mess. Policy will need to play a role in getting us out.

[1] No one actually said the word "colonialism", but it's a parallel argument heard countless times before.

[2] "Western" is not quite the right word because there are Eastern nations that are aligned with this economic bloc as well.

At this point it's likely a national security issue for the US and EU, given the dependence on aluminum for aviation and the history of the aluminum cartels up to WWII. Many of their smelters already depend on practically free or negative-price electricity and a flood of aluminum into the market could semi-permanently crush those producers.

Businesses are only able to grow to the size of amazon because of the exploitation of the working class' labor and government subsidies. Minimum wage and unemployment aren't an artificial constraints, they are things that workers have exercised their collective strength in to win concessions from their employers via labor organizing and collective action. It's the same reason we (generally) have an 8 hour work day, a 5 day work week, holidays off, safety requirements, workman's comp, and child labor laws to name a few things.

Edit: fixed typo.

> Nobody would miss these chains if they disappeared

I think you are vastly underestimating some of these alternative chains and the amount of development effort that some of these ecosystems have been building this year. As more people use blockchain technology people are just not going to be able to afford Ethereum unless they solve their gas and scalability issues sooner than later. I can't even recommend using ETH to any of my friends or coworkers because of how financially impractical it currently is. Solana being out for a day is pretty trivial compared to being able to actually use the chain now instead of the theoretical future where ETH's zkRollups, and their various L2 solutions are in place.

I'm pretty sure the only people that can actually use ETH are people that got in years ago, or have institutional money. That is not a chain I can sell to people despite me really enjoying the tech and thinking it is a cool product.

Seriously. Imagine trying to convince someone that isn't in crypto already to use Ethereum when transactions cost upwards of $100. It's absolute insanity, and not worth the cost currently. I really hope ongoing development efforts work out sooner than later.

First of all, great work and name. I hadn’t even realized that I was looking for this. Installed it on my NAS under docker.

Also got interested in competitors so tried a couple. Here are my notes:

1) docker works well. UI is fine, was able to figure out without much effort.

2) not sure what is the difference manga and comics? For some reason it didn’t scan some Pdfs as manga but did as comics.

3) wasn’t able to make caliber-web docker work, but tried ubooquity. For some reasons PDFs render sharper with ubooquity than with Kavita. It is fairly obvious and checked with a few. All settings are default. ubooquity was also faster, but I prefer the UI of Kavita.

What a fascinating read. The first article here I’ve read to completion.
Maybe! I do trust in Cardanos robustness so there could be a move towards them if something goes wrong in an Ethereum fork, or if the fees don’t come down. However I think Ethereum may be the JavaScript of blockchain - imperfect, but the winner nonetheless.
What you're describing is a cultural stereotype. The same type of stereotype that is applied often to women; that they all have to have big tits, a small waist, pretty face with lots of makeup, plunging neck line, skirt, flat stomach, be submissive, smile often, etc etc. The truth is that stereotype is mostly just pushed by people trying to make money; most people don't use that as their standard to find a partner.

I think you've internalized your own version of a standard you think everybody else holds men accountable to, but it's an illusion. The majority of human society does not require all men conform to an 'alpha male' persona, and different societies also have different ways of performing masculinity. Furthermore, if you go to a club, bar, house party, work, etc, there will be lots of people with different ideas about what is attractive in a man, and most of them will not be the ideal that you've set yourself up to believe.

Please, go to therapy and talk about these issues. I swear to you that the problem is not with everyone else, it is the way you are looking at the world and yourself.

> I believe that India, Pakistan and Bangladesh would be stronger today if it was one nation rather than three.

There are many culteral differences and even different languages that are not mutually intelligible between different states and provinces. Europe is a union, but not a single country. Perhaps India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and other nations in South Asia could be part of a union, but I don't really think that it would work out as a single country.

In fact, present day Myanmar/Burma was also governed by the British prior to World War II, but it didn't become part of India (mainly due to the British separating it from India in the late 1930s).

Would Nepal want to be part of the single country, given that it was never colonized by the British?
>for men to feel valued just for being alive, not for any deed they perform or value they bring to others, just their intrinsic value

This is the void feminism left us with: men who provide nothing have no value and are at best invisible and at worst trash you avert your eyes from. It's not obvious that they're wrong.
Yes. But does this make a difference to the analysis?
You're right! When I had an Apple Watch (it smashed and I never placed it) I used to just JPR for the same reason but then often failed to act upon the recordings because of the same problem you mention.

One of my "basic needs" is short term reminders. For example, I forget things in the course of a minute or two. So I created a prototype app at a hackathon where I could push a single button on the watch, record an audio clip, and it would play back automatically after a minute. It worked, but the audio volume you could manually set as a third party developer was way lower than what Apple could do themselves so you could barely hear the audio! Still.. I'd like to re-explore that idea one day as it would improve my quality of life hugely.
It’s great you’ve got some protections in place to prevent it from happening again. That inspires some confidence.

Thanks for all the work yourself and Matt do on Caddy.
Business model wise, Brave is same thing as Google just at a smaller scale. Their revenue stream is still ad monetization, just it happens that it does not come from Google (although it is curious that on default settings, Brave's ad blocker does not block Google ads?).

And what does the world look like if Brave "wins" (meaning becoming Google size)? Still ads everywhere, just Brave gets to pick them.

Worth noting is that people would run ad-blockers even if all ads in the world are privacy-respecting. Users simply do not want ads on the web pages and eating the bandwidth.
I recon that the cutout in front of the toilet has a purpose... the existence of that cutout seems to align well with the idea that one might put a sponge on a stick through it in order to clean their back orifice.

The toga thing has been addressed by others as our cultural mores being projected on people with different values...

Otherwise, I found the article interesting and entertaining.

The integration of VS Code with my C tools are so good that I don't see myself going back.

I assume by WLB you mean "Work/Life Balance"?

Can't speak for every person at AWS, but I can say that I'm personally happy with my work/life balance working at Amazon. I work greater than 40 hours a week at times, but less than 40 hours a week other times. Overall it balances out between my needs and the needs of my broader team. I have the support of a great manager, who has never pushed me to do any extra overtime work that I didn't already want to, but has encouraged me and the team to take time for ourselves when we have been working really hard.

I also think work life balance has a lot to do with how much you enjoy the work. I've worked remote for AWS for nearly 5 years now, and my particular role at AWS gives me a lot of freedom in deciding what I do day to day, from writing blogs and technical content, to creating sample code, engaging with folks on social media, recording videos, travelling and giving talks at conferences, providing feedback on internal product specs, testing preproduction releases before they go live, etc. So the variety keeps me interested.

Hope this insider perspective is helpful!
It's definitely "all in my head" how much I don't like macOS. The window management and way that it bunches together applications and windows in the task bar drives me crazy. Keyboard shortcuts are another pain point (I have a pretty intense Karabiner Elements setup to use the same keyboard in Windows and macOS)

I'm curious what you mean by the "increasing stupidity of windows"... I've been using Windows for personal use since 1995 and macOS for work use for about 7 years now and they honestly don't feel too different from how they've always been. Biggest change in Windows the past few years has been WSL and being able to use Linux tools "natively" which has been awesome. macOS is almost exactly the same as when I first started using it...

You don't need these spaces until you do. Crisis comes up fast, and such a community can be crucial. For some men I think it's just a small group of close knit friends, but for many it just doesn't exist.
>The digital blockchain, via proof-of-work, is thus connected to real-world natural resources.

This, in essence, is why any further adoption of PoW chains is deeply incompatible with climate change mitigation. I'm happy to see crypto mature into some kind of open source / open protocol financial system but it needs to happen strictly on proof-of-stake chains (whatever the challenges to decentralization).

no, not just the constitution, it's inalienable because it's intrinsic to being civilized people, not because some piece of paper says so. on the contrary, companies have no right to spy on us.
Given that Google is ultimately subject to US government jurisdiction, I don't really see how is that any better. Unless of course you're saying that governments are too incompetent to be trusted with operating the core infrastructure reliably.
I’m surprised there wasn’t any suggestions of positive mens spaces in the OP, nor in the comments. I’d be really interested in participating in more approachable and considerate male spaces. Does anyone have some they can share?

For those interested in a pro-mens issues space, I spend some time on r/menslib subreddit on Reddit [0]. It’s specifically focused on mens issues, but in a way that actively affirms specific movements like feminism, racial equality, and lgbtq progress.

It depends. I have an Iiyama 44” and the display, while nominally 4K, is noticeably not as good as a good 32” 4K monitor. It’s not really visible when watching video, but using it as an external display looks horrible close up.

This is one of the ones with an android board in it, and if I did it again, I’d be getting someone sold as a computer monitor.

How much of it is accent shift and how much of it is the response to being recorded? Being on TV or Radio was a Really Big Deal, and people also were taught diction and public speaking in school.

It's not just the US, BTW, I find it even more pronounced here in Canada. Listening to Canadian radio broadcasts from the 60s ... it's almost like they're from the UK. Different cadence and quite a bit more British Isles going on.

Crazy fact: the Bering Strait is only 100 to 165 feet deep (~45m).

45m x 88km length = 4,000,000 m^2 times whatever thickness.

Makes sense the strait is shallow given the whole prehistoric migration, but in my mind it was much deeper, probably because of its proximity to the Pacific (max 30k+ ft) and the Bering Sea (max 12k ft).
