I'm not sure where you're getting this information from, toxic masculinity applies to men regardless of their sexuality and originated as an academic term.

The difference I'd highlight to you is that women are taught these things to get a husband and fulfill their traditional roles in a patriarchal society. They are baby incubators as far as that system is concerned.

Men are taught to be aggressive or not show emotions not because it will get them a wife and family, but because in Western society the chain of command goes: God -> Father -> Mother -> Children

In fact many of our cultural cornerstones rest on this baked in assumption, like The Iliad. The entire plot is set into motion by a tantrum wherein Achilles does not want to hand over a captive woman he views as his property. Thousands die in that pissing contest with a human being as the prize.

Now imagine we say Helen of Troy is displaying toxic femininity by investing so much in her appearance. Well, the reason she does is because it's the only source of her worth (besides making children of course) to a patriarchal society such as that of Ancient Greece
We never had an issue with the delta variant. Omnicron is only now becoming an issue, so it’s the normal version that’s been the biggest issue so far.

I guess our government was too slow to roll out the 3rd shot since so many are affected.

The reason why we’re having lockdowns now is because the situation is that so many people are sick that we need to make sure there is enough people to staff things like power plants.

I don’t know about the light symptoms bit. I can’t remember the last time I felt this shitty, but I’m obviously not close to being hospitalised either. I’m probably fit for work by American standards, but I’ve been home sick since the 20th by Danish standards. This is very anecdotal of course, but I sure as shit don’t feel well.
I'd say that looses some of the sarcasm, since the point is that the "club of interested people" is no-one.
I love Krita it is a great free open source photoshop replacement and does photo editing better than Gimp. People will say Krita is a digital painting program but it still goes photo editing in a much less frustrating way than gimp.

Which particular Tupolev?

Apparently, until the USA recently withdrew from the Open Skies treaty, there was indeed a possibility of seeing a Tupolev in the area: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_on_Open_Skies#Aircraft
From the HN comment guidelines:

"Please don't comment on whether someone read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that."

This is especially true here because I did read the article and have no idea why you think this comment somehow reflects the person didn't fully read the article.
What an interesting comment. I also find that there is a lot of not great learning materials available. Perhaps it is not surprising, but the really quite good is uncommon. And, I expect that poor materials lead to poor learning, missed things, misunderstood things, etc.

But another point is that the presentation is not the main place where people learn, at least in math, which is the field I teach in. The main place people learn is in doing the exercises. I will pull a number out of my posterior and say it is 80% exercises (a matter of opinion, I concede, but what else can you do with opinions besides spread them around?). Obviously twiddling with video speeds doesn't apply at all to that.

> I wonder how it's better than Haskell

I don't think anybody claims it's better than Haskell. It predates it, for one. The Clean programming language is its own thing, with its own philosophy, uniqueness types, etc.

Don't be mislead by the usual online flamebait trying to turn everything into "X is better than Y". This is usually claimed by people with little experience in either X or Y.
He definitely does. For an example, look at fascile 1 for Volume 1 of TAOCP (his new, improved assembly language for the books).

https://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/mmix.html

He talks about measuring costs in this ASM, and he mentions that it's both cpu and mems that he measures, which is something I'd never seen before in algorithmic analysis (but which of course makes perfect sense given the large discrepancies in speed between them).
Although I'm a fan of the general concept there are some obvious transparency issues with this implementation...

For anyone wondering what the underlying blockchain/framework is: the site is using the deWeb Framework [https://www.deweb.io/] which is based on the EOS.IO blockchain [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EOS.IO].

I'm not an expert in this particular domain, but the fact that EOS was successfully sued by the SEC and is based in the Cayman Islands doesn't necessary breed alot of confidence.

The home page for the deWeb Framework discusses the benefits for site operators, developers, and marketers, but has nothing to say about the benefits for users of these sites.

I found this information by reading the Privacy and ToS pages, as the 'About' section of the site contained no information about the underlying financial technologies.

As a potential user of the site, entering into a quasi-financial contract with the operator, the things I want to know are all about transparency:
The legal name of every entity that is selling my information, along with the details of that info and it's real value.
The fungibility of the underlying tokens -- The deWeb/EOS home pages mention tethering, but are vague about the exact details.
The exact distribution model being used to determine the disbursement of tokens, with public reporting.

It strikes me as disingenuous to ask people to enter into a legal(?) covenant and not provide the fair-market information required to knowledgeably enter into said contract.
Good. Grindr is probably the best example of extremely high brand & network value vs shockingly poor security & application quality. The company demonstrates zero integrity and needs to be shut down or fined to death. It would send a proper warning to the industry, though long overdue.
The author makes some points about the benefits of doing this, but I really think he's making things more difficult for himself. Even a basic note-taking app would provide a much larger number of features and be equally easy to use. It's quirky idea but it's really not that practical.
I was about to mention how well-written Norwegian legal texts are until I noticed the “edit” links. So, instead, I’ll say this is a well-written wiki article.
It has become far more frequent than it used to after the closure of Ringhals 1 and Barsebäck, two nuclear power plants in the south of Sweden. The power grid in Sweden is designed to take electricity produced mostly by hydroelectric plants in the north and middle and nuclear in the south. The closure of those nuclear plants in the south has led to an imbalance, especially given the increase in power use in the south. To make matters worse the "government" - between quotes here because they hardly deserve that term - allowed the establishment of several data centres by the likes of Amazon, Facebook and Google, each of which consumes enough electricity to make it impossible for other industry to be established in the same area given the limits of the distribution network. To make things even worse those data centres got a really sweet deal on electricity, they're not paying all the taxes and surcharges which other consumers and industry have to. In return they provide a couple of dozen jobs, each of which was subsidised by the Swedish state (in addition to the mentioned deal on electricity) to the tune of 2.5 million SEK (around $275.000,-).

Here's some more choice words on the failures of the current Swedish energy policy:

> For many listeners, they suffer from speakers talking too slowly which causes them to tune out and become disengaged. This handicaps learning instead of enhances it.

When I was in school last year I really loved online, pre-recorded, lectures for this reason. I could put speed on 1.5x or even 2x speed. If I missed something I'd tap my left arrow to go back a few seconds or write the time stamp down and come back later. Slow speaking videos drive me crazy.
Kubernetes vs. Docker Swarm
I would love more information on cleaner burning alternatives if anyone has the knowledge handy. I have a family member who insists on burning candles, but I’ve always had concerns about air quality impacts.
Odds are that the concurrent data structure will naturally be very testable. If it's not, it a matter of abstracting it a bit more, not of using the testability design guidebook.

But well, mocks and stubs is how you test the thing, and has no relation to coding best practices. I think the GP had an unreasonable grouping here.
A lot of IT is centered around staying current, which occupies a substantial portion of your time. Being able to do that quicker is an immediate boost for your productivity. This isn't all at the level of learning physics or rocket science, it can simply be a tutorial about a new framework (every 6 months or so) or a library, a new development tool or orchestration method. Personally I prefer to read but with the easy way that video can be monetized a lot of things that in the past would be blog posts and long form articles or web based tutorials are now posted on youtube. And sometimes there aren't any alternatives so you're forced to use video even if you'd rather use some other medium.

My Windows 10 installation just BSODs when Firefox fills up the RAM if the page file is disabled.

I'd much prefer the OOM killer.
Worth noting that German clubs are somewhat unique because they're supposed to be owned by the fans[0], not corporations (with some exceptions). Fans pay money for the membership to have some influence on its operation and vote on some issues.

As one can see from your link, it's definitely less than perfect in practice, but that's why the fans are supposed to have any say in deals like this instead of the club being able to do whatever they want to like in most other countries.

I'm not sure what counts as a non-system context these days. Most of my experience with using Rust in production was with a message queue type of service, where the desire was to minimize latency and to have consistent performance over prolonged use. I did make an initial prototype with C#, but things were much easier to make work well on both counts with Rust and Tokio.

Interesting indeed, it is what several German online newspapers do - they let you choose between a free version with tracking and a paid one without one. I find this argument a bit weird though:

> Sharing Grindr's users personal data with advertising partners for online behavioural advertising purposes was not necessary for the performance of the Grindr's services.

Charging money for your services is also not necessary for the performance of the said services. Still businesses are luckily still allowed to charge money. Why can't data be considered as a means of payment in this case?
> It would be interesting to see the data before 2020.

Given the graph you link to starts from January 2020, and it's completely flat until the next winter, where complaints peak in december and gradually decrease until may-june where they reach the pervious baseline, that would be an assertion that 2020 is the odd one out with oddly pungent candles yes?
But many domestic league schedules are during northern hemisphere winter.

Hi! yes it's kind of support but in a very go:ish at the moment. You can use fq as submodule, import/register your own format decoders and then run cli.Main. More or less what https://github.com/wader/fq/blob/master/fq.go does.
I have private version of fq for work with some proprietary formats that does this and it works great. One issue is that the decoder and format API might change, not sure i can give any stability guarantees atm and i want to evolve a bit more. Also it would be great to be able to hook into existing formats more in some way.

In the future i hope to support writing decoders in jq and or support some declarative format like kaitai.
The Future of Work in Europe
On the one hand, there is the troubled exit from the pandemic crisis, still under the threat posed by the emergence of new Covid-19 variants. The pause on redundancies has come to an end in Italy. This, albeit partially, would have "spared" about 520,000 jobs in Italy up until now, according to Centro Einaudi’s estimates [25th Annual Report on Global Economy and Italy, June 2021]. Company closures and staff reductions (in a mixture of arrogance and callousness) have marked the summer months, only to announce a difficult autumn, when the redundancy ban will be lifted also for small businesses and services. However, it is clear how uncertain the workers’ condition remains, regardless of any collective agreement signed, and how necessary it is always to organize and fight for the defence of our class.

One must add future prospects to the lasting effects of the past. And the future is now called electrical and digital restructuring which, in the third decade of this century, is the updated version of the European restructuring. They indeed both follow the same rules and have the same raison d’être: the world contention, which pits industrial systems of a continental scale against each other, from Europe and America to China. One should not be surprised to see the ideological armour of this contention painted in the fashionable green of environmentalism, so that the poisonous content of an 1mperialist clash — which embitters workers against other workers — is concealed.
Sorry, that was poorly explained. I’m agreeing that the overall benefit to society is positive. But, I disagree that the impact to the individual is essentially zero.
I really don't understand China, but China also don't care to understand the west one bit. China has zero cultural understand about anything beyond its borders and basically only survives on other cultures being either extremely flexible or completely dependent on China for manufacturing (or both).

We're basically just waiting for companies to pull manufacturing from China, because they can deal with the backlash at home for ever, or some western leader to snap and just tell China to "Go kill whoever you need to get rid of so we can move on".
Patience is as much a skill as any other though. I don't quite understand this hyperoptimization. I'll speed up things I find a little dull or advertisements, but increasing the pace of everyone's speech for your sake seems....odd?

There were only one or two lectures like this a day. The rest were labs and exercises. And only Mon-Fri.

But you’re right, this still comes out to 30 hours of lecture review a week, which seems a bit more than I remember. 20 seems more realistic.

I guess the average was less than 3 hours per lecture.
Mapped: Economic Freedom Around the World
It feels like string theory will be a cautionary tail of being too myopic on a single promising thread of inquiry. We've probably wasted 20+ years after we should have jumped tracks (or at least stared changing course). Religions of belief tend to pop up around attractive academic ideas that can't be falsified but also have great explanatory power.
The sooner companies start to realize that personal data is a liability rather than an asset the better. Happy to see this fine, but as far as I'm concerned given the kind of data we're talking about here it should have been higher.

I used a plain text file for about 5-6 years before finding org-mode in 2009. Of course, I technically still use a plain text file since that's what Org uses, just with some extra features that make organizing things specific to productivity easier.

That said, I'm not sure I'd exclusively use a plain text file or even Org if I had to break my day down into as low as 15 minute chunks like this guy. I find the text-based approach to work best for longer-term planning/strategizing and just keeping yourself from forgetting stuff over the course of days. It also works better if you're already on your computer and using your text editor all day and/or SSH-ing into a box with the file. If I need to remember to make it to 4 meetings today at very specific times, something that pushes notifications and upcoming meeting warnings might accommodate that better.

I've had meeting-heavy jobs, and split off the meeting management into Outlook (or similar) with good results. Useful info that flows out of meetings can still go into your notes to be organized later though. Then I make my GTD list "task-centric", meaning that it focuses on getting discrete activities started and completed, with less focus on times/dates. That requires some level of freedom to manage your own time though, so it's not for everyone.

I never touched ZIP drives, went straight from floppies to USB sticks and CDs, I think I remember first using floppies to "upgrade" my Olivetti PC from DOS to Windows 3.1, was several diskettes, mid to late 90s perhaps? I was single-digit years old at the time.

I liked the article because I have some of the same occasional but recurring desire to use my System 76 Linux laptop more, give up my smooth and efficient digital work flow based around iPad, Apple Watch, and iPhone.

My problem is that there is so much to do in my life that giving up Apple devices would slow me down too much.
For me, I think I understand attention is the most important factor in learning, followed by practice.

The material is the base, sometimes a bad quality material can even reinforce practice and attention.

I remember how I learned serious programming at 14: a badly translated manual in French and a casio scientific calculator, no internet. I had to try each command, see what it did, guesstimate what it meant. I plowed through variables, goto/labels, printing, conditionals, had lots of problems conceptualising loops but figured it out talking with friends at school who struggled too, and ended up doing decent things with the calculator.

When I started C at uni, nothing was new (except pointers, I admit lol): the very good material didnt help my fellow students much, in fact I remember helping them a lot gain a more intuitive understanding on what programs were and to love programming for the sake of it, me who learned from sheer frustration and trial and error with basically rope and wood.

So I dunno... maybe I could have optimized my time but I still believe the sheer will to learn how machines ticked is what mattered, more than anything and that s always how I teach someone new to it: love the result and the process, independently of the details of implementation and you ll be able to program anything or at least know you CAN program anything eventually given enough courage and commitment.

And at work, I m the multi hat guy who code on all the systems, on all the languages, always coming in as a humble idiot but slowly gnawing at the problems until I become expert and people at it for years start asking me questions, because I just never give up and never think it's too hard.
In my short experience you can't disable overcommit if you're using Linux on desktop because programs using gtk/glib freak out when they can't malloc.

IIRC I looked at Clean 10+ years ago and it was not BSD licensed; either closed source or some restrictive license. And that made me not invest any time into trying it out.
