Your link doesn't work for me, but I found a link to the study that does work:
https://ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/pdf/10.2105/AJPH.72.9....

While the study does show that pregnancy tests in 1993 were very inaccurate, there is nothing in the study that suggests the inaccuracy was due to people having problems interpreting the result of the test. They are only hypothesizing about reasons for the inaccuracy, and they think that the biggest factor is that women did not wait long enough, which is pretty much what I said.

I strongly doubt that these computer based tests are in any way better than analog tests, especially since the electronics just add another potential point of failure, and they do nothing to address all the other issues with pregnancy tests.
This is how great business partnerships are formed.

You found out your old life isn't fulfilling anymore - and that's great! Better to face it than hide from it.

Well, you have money and time so it should be easy to go find what it is that truly moves you! It won't be stuff you already know. Also, it helps to do things differently... don't be trapped in the "old you" persona. That's just something we make up to make reality feel more solid. Define yourself based on what's going on right now, and not based on old notions of you.

Your spirit (if you will) is begging you change the way you live so just go along with it.
Not sure what the distance is to the source, but it is good to realize that us observing the event is only imminent; the event itself happened already many years ago (thousands, millions?) and the signal has been travelling all those years to its very curious audience.

> wired, I hate wireless things, I never want to think about batteries

It's funny, I feel exactly the same. When friends have asked me to explain why, I struggle to justify it. It's just a minor feeling of security -- one less thing to maintain.

The only piece of hardware I've considered moving to wireless is a headset for gaming with friends, but it hasn't happened thus far. Maybe if the End Times come and my ATH-M50x stop working.
Yes, particularly that the first half provides a really nice primer on black holes.

My wife, daughter and me all had minecraft accounts. Now we have one microsoft acct with a mix of all the data (lost all the daughter's stuff, which was most important). My wife had been a daily player for 6+ years and hasn't made a new acct since they took hers away last month.

To my uninvolved eye, it looks like Microsoft failed to immolate Minecraft for a while, but they finally couldn't resist any longer. I'm shocked it took them this long.

> For some damn reason I till don't understand, the decimal separator in Sweden is the comma and not the period.

I'm curious to know the history of why (some?) Euro countries went with the common and the Anglo world went with the period. Some details:

> In France, the full stop was already in use in printing to make Roman numerals more readable, so the comma was chosen.[13] Many other countries, such as Italy, also chose to use the comma to mark the decimal units position.[13] It has been made standard by the ISO for international blueprints.[14] However, English-speaking countries took the comma to separate sequences of three digits. In some countries, a raised dot or dash (upper comma) may be used for grouping or decimal separator; this is particularly common in handwriting.

ISO seems to say use a comma:

Hm. Aspirin is wrong, or at least US-centric, because Bayer still has the trademark for it in Germany and much of the rest of the world. A packet of 8 is somewhere in the neighborhood of 5 EUR at pharmacies here. The much more reasonably-priced generics are sold as, I’m absolutely not joking, “ASS” - Acetylsalicylsäure.

(2) This! Once you have kids your focus is on other people rather than yourself, which makes you a better human being... well that was my experience at least. Don't leave it too late.

Take a look at the current "feminism" movement that aims to empower women to be equal to men in the job market. What has happened in the West is that women are realising by the age of 40 they have a great job, but no kids or long term relationship to speak of. Instead they have surrounded themselves with cats :(

(not saying all Feminism is bad - it's done a lot of good in other aspects)

I wasn't aware of this relationship [1], it's worth keeping an eye on. More generally (in my opinion) Spiked tend to criticise all perspectives. E.g. an example of an anti-Boris (right-wing Conservative party) article [2] and an anti-Starmer (left-wing Labour party) article [3]. The Dorset Eye for example themselves seem to have a left-wing bias.

Yup. All of this except not professionally successful.

The economy is mostly based on people trying to fill a void. I was able to fill that w a person’s “love” but they left me for a younger, higher-earner who is probably better in bed too. I guess you better just accept it, try and be healthy, talk about it with friends and maybe something will come along that really does make you happy if you “get out there” whatever that means
Glad this works for you, but humans are not all the same.
Dont assume what makes you happy also makes other people happy.
This is akin to telling somebody with depression to 'Cheer Up'.
One thing that’s better than being young is being a parent. Caring for your child as they grow takes the sting off of getting older yourself.
Latitude and longitude are geometric values. Programming libraries are secondary abstractions to Earth geometry (third degree abstractions, to be precise, there's WGS84 or other abstraction in between).

Negative longitude, negative latitude and even latitude modulo above 90 degrees will produce a point on the globe, but library-wise I would not allow it to pass input validation.

If you get bored by technology but want to give it another shot, see if you can find meaning around making it work for and with other people.

Perhaps you have an offline community that could benefit from some kind of automation, like generating tax receipts from a PDF template or organizing their resources and processes in a way (website?) that's useful for members.

Perhaps you're passionate about user freedoms, you explore an open source desktop environment and related apps but you find that it's still lacking in usability, stability or features. You dive in to make it better and in addition to doing good things for society as a whole, you also form bonds with other members of that developer community, first online, later at in-person meetups.

Perhaps you have an interest in mentoring and learning from each other, so you find like-minded people in your town. It could be coding meetups, pair programming sessions, conferences and presentations, helping tech noobs find their way into the industry. You might learn a bit and also pass on some of your own knowledge and experiences.

Either way, people-focused tech provides a different kind of fulfillment than tech for tech's sake. Worth a shot if you hadn't already tried to make it a focus!
Thanks for this, it really resonates.

I'd add therapy/coaching helps in making sense of the journey, as you can't really figure out everything about you from within.

An Intel Optane NVME SSD. <10µs latency for both reads and writes even at low queue depths. There are newer NVME SSDs with more IOPS, but only at high queue depths, and their latency is a lot worse. If you put your swap on your Optane drive, you can use hundreds of gigs of swap without making your machine unresponsive. Makes a great place to put a database too.

Check out this screenshot http://db48x.net/temp/Screenshot%20from%202019-12-09%2013-27...

See where it says “avio 3.53µs” and “avq 0.61”? That’s 284,000 IOPS even with nothing queued up. With any other drive you would be lucky to get a tenth of that at QD1. Even better, this is a mixed read and write workload; most drives are fastest when you are only reading or only writing.
PayPal and your bank both transact in dollars. In the crypto space, presumably, you’d need to operate with different currencies at varying exchange rates. Or use some kind of “wrapped” currency at significant complexity and risk (see recent Ethereum-Solana bridge exploit and associated massive loss).
> The right to free speech should be absolute. But there's no right to be heard.

There’s no right to be heard, true. Yet, these are users complying with TOS. Beyond that, do the users have any obligation to not spread content that they haven’t validated? It seems an unreasonable burden to place on users who don’t post content for consumption by folks who care about such things. Can you blame people for speaking their mind and playing to their audience? Maintaining the platform and only posting constructive, mainstream content only appeals to a certain kind of person, and they may never reach their intended audience with such messaging, warping and contorting their content into something else entirely, potentially alienating the very people they are trying to reach in the first place.

I’m a descriptivist in the linguistic sense, and when it comes to free speech. More is better. Full stop.

I remember when everything was hard online. I don’t wish for those days to return, especially just to comply with misguided, ineffective government mandates at the behest of megacorps and special interest lobby groups.
Yeah scams.
No one obliges you to enter and be one of the people that get scammed.

Yep, concur with this - having children and a family gave me a sense of fulfillment and purpose that has never really diminished. Won’t say every day is amazing or life is any less difficult. However, there is definitely something to be said for living your life for others instead of your own enjoyment.
It's probably going to be a carrot and stick issue in the EU. States have to do X to get EU funds or else trigger an infridgement procedure, get fined and get cut off from EU funds. At least that's how it works now. They're also careful to steadily increase the price of gas or electricity with a few percent every year since nobody wants mobs breaking storefronts and setting things on fire. Coal will probably be the first to go if everything goes smoothly and Poland is in a lot of trouble if they don't build at least 3 or 4 nuclear reactors.
Just one example: All my life I have been curious about human pre-history and ancient history. Never learned much about it along the way.

Now that I have time, I find an incredible wealth of knowledge and insight about early human history has been developed. I feel like a dim area of my understanding is being illuminated, like exploring a dark attic with a bright flashlight, it is very satisfying, and particularly when pieces fall into place and I have an "aha! so that is what that was all about" moment, it is exciting as well.
His book "The Act of Creation" is also very good. Somewhat related to prison experiences, John Leray invented sheaves while in a prison camp:

> Jean Leray (November 7, 1906–November 10, 1998) was confined to an officers’ prison camp (“Oflag”) in Austria for the whole of World War II. There he took up algebraic topology, and the result was a spectacular flowering of highly original ideas, ideas which have, through the usual metamorphism of history, shaped the course of mathematics in the sixty years since then.

It seems that solitude is generally conducive to creative activity for those that are somewhat positively oriented towards such activity.

Absolutely not. Even introverts need social connections. It's more akin to telling somebody to get fit because it's good for their health.

Introvert does not mean asocial or antisocial. Social connections are a fundamental part of every human's mental health. Maybe some disorders might change this up, but being an introvert is not that.
Yes, if you mean true anonymization – i.e. not pseudonymization (e.g. replacing names with a pseudonym) or in any other way retaining personal data (internal identifiers, usage patterns or attributes that combined result in a unique enough fingerprint to identify a specific person, etc.)
What a GDPR nightmare.
>And it's interesting how exactly the same group of people lamenting the paying of bail for BLM protesters are falling in line with rights for this trucker group to harass and occupy Canadian cities.

That's true, and its also interesting how exactly the same people who support the paying of bail for BLM looters and rioters (lawful protesters aren't arrested and don't need bail) are cheering the decision of GoFundMe to block the funds to the Canadian protesters. The issue as I see it is the failure of GoFundMe to have a consistent standard that is neutrally applied without regard to the underlying politics of those raising funds. If they say that its prohibited to raise funds for those involved in breaking the law, then that standard should be applied to both BLM and the truckers.

Another important issue in this case was the initial decision of GoFundMe to keep all donated funds absent a proactive request for a refund by those who had donated. Its bad enough if GoFundMe decided to act in a nakedly partisan manner when deciding who is allowed to raise funds on their platform, but its entirely another matter for them to make people jump through hoops to get their money back. I'm glad to see GoFundMe reversed this decision and decided to offer automatic refunds, but it shouldn't have taken a huge outcry for them to reach this decision.

Machining is nice. I was in IT for little less than 20 years, programming and sysadmin. Then I started hand engraving and got good at it. Now I am fulltime machinist with my own company and quite a few machines. Currently I'm also in uni studying mechanical engineering. Seems like I learn new things every day - metallurgy, metrology, machining etc etc. A wondrous rabbithole of learning, it is.
For some reason, I can't get wireless CarPlay to work on my '21 Q5. Only wired.
I'd add that it's about detail - if you thin slice reality for efficiency, reality becomes more simplistic. But you can also discover infinitely more detail. walking into a library reveals that there is an infinite amount of things to know, and there are all kinds of differences between two similar glasses of wine etc. Perhaps its more about the spare energy of the individual available for learning and discovery
It is very easy to tip an A/B test in the direction you'd like it to go by picking what you measure and handwaving away bad metrics.

Not the parent commenter, but I find GTK4 worse than GTK3 on non-GNOME Linux environments. The popovers capture input and hang your entire Xorg session until you press Esc (affecting EasyEffects), GTK4 has window creation race conditions breaking title bars on KWin and window positioning on KWin and xfwm4, and line height and text y-coordinates are non-integer and text is rendered at fractional vertical coordinates, resulting in blur even with hinting on (which assumes integer-pixel vertical positioning).
This provide you the choice of who (if anyone) you want to trust.

You can choose to only use yourself as a guardian, a group of family members/friends, a set of financial institutions, or a mix of all of those.

You can set it up so that it’s very hard for individuals or governments to take control of your assets.

Gotta say this is very elegant.
Here're things that I'm entertaining myself with.

1. Discover new things related to IT. For example I never programmed microcontrollers or dealt with electronics in general. I recently started to learn about it and it's exciting. My current aim is to build some fun machines for my home using STM32 and ARM assembly. Something like cat drinking bowl with small fountain and proximity sensor. Or crypto device to store my ssh keys. Or hand-held radio with everything build from scratch using modern crypto and stuff. I also bought 3D-printer and found that 3D-modeling is very exciting.

2. Discover new things not directly related to IT. Like building house, creating or repairing things in house and around, working with wood, welding, etc. That requires some money, for example I bought some land with old house in a remote village and visit it at summer, spending extremely quality time there, near nature. It's one of my retirement plans - to build a house and live there with remote work or investments.

3. I have wife, but if I would be alone, I definitely would think about yachting. It's possible to buy old yacht for $50k, spend another $50k to repair it and travel around the world, including ocean travels. That's my dream which is unlikely to ever come true, but who knows.

I never really cared about achieving anything. I got paid well enough, I build useful things for my country and that's good enough for me. I have $20k in savings right now, LoL, but that's fine, I live in poor country and that's enough for my lifestyle.
I do not mean to tear down OP, but you are 35 and have $500k in savings. You lived in other countries, had startups and worked at a big company. You are not lost, you are one of the 1%. It sounds like you did a lot and now "normal" life that the rest of have to go through seems sucky. It is.

I have years of experience, not 1/5th your savings, have not traveled and now I am actually too old for "big company" to hire me. This is not said for you to fell for me, go feel good about yourself. It sounds like you did a lot. Figure out now what makes you _feel_ good inside and pursue that (you know, unless its spending all of your savings on vices). Time is running out? Come back here and say that twenty years from now. I think life was just starting for a lot of people when they hit 35.

Mostly opaqueness, i.e. it makes debugging and IDE/language server features harder to use. Macros generally also lead to longer compile times.

Also, unrelated to its use of macros, Rocket development seems to have stalled after August of last year.
I'm a big fan (and user) of Mozilla but this take seems wrong to my memory.

Checking Wikipedia, the IE5 timeframe was them reaching their peak before stalling on the infamous IE6, and Firefox (sort of a rewrite of the rewrite) starting to make some small headway as they let IE stagnate.
