This WaPo article and specifically the chart entitled "Young men driving the decline in sex": https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/03/29/share-ame...

I read the chart as indicating a jump from ~15% to 28% of men 18-30 not having sex, and women from ~13% to 18%. So perhaps the simultaneous rise could be due to factors like less promiscuity overall or more selectivity, but I find that GP's reasoning is plausible for explaining why sexlessness in men rose higher and faster than that in women.
I can understand that some people enjoy pair programming, and there are some situations like knowledge transfer where it may be appropriate. But I'm not sure it would fit with the way I solve problems. I don't know what I'm doing half the time -- I have to experiment and hit my head against the wall and continually inspect APIs in an IPython repl. I go back and forth between a console and a browser and emacs a mile a minute.

When I've had to program with another person watching, my productivity screeches to a halt.
When the local youths see their food delivery jobs disappearing, yes.

You are correct. Let me help rectify my transgression by providing a very consolidated list of things I can do in America that you can not do in the UAE:

1. Hold elections.

2. Form political parties.

3. Criticize my government and officials.

4. Have extra-martial or casual sex.

5. Consume alcohol.

6. Consume cannabis.

7. Be homosexual.

8. Kiss my partner in public.

9. Eat, drink, and smoke between sunrise and sunset during Ramadan.

10. Swear - both IRL and online.

Is that enough or do you need more concrete examples? The list is quite long.

It’s interesting to see these salary levels. A senior developer (10+ years of experience) here in Sweden is paid less than their entry level salary.

Where does FreeBSD excel then, because last time I checked all the widely known use cases were split about 50/50 serving and routing, with a side of Playstation.

Re: Linux gaming: Sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of the MCC playing on my Linux box. And Ori. And Stardew, RoR2, Everspace, XCOM2, SWTOR, Hades, DST, Hollow Knight, FTL, Terraria, Human Fall Flat, Portal 1/2, and a variety of other games.

As far as anticheat is concerned, that's actively being worked on by Valve and the largest stake holders.
Its doesn't have to completely be a challenge or game like that. Or, if it is, you will need to read an entire body of literature for each separate person you want to get to know. When it comes to romantic relationships, the difference between every single person is on a universal magnitude, there is no way you can generally prepare. There is not a ground to stand on with these things unfortunately, there is just the predilections and desires that were instilled in you as a child, and those of every other person in the world. We are all 10 billion air-gapped black boxes of desire. Don't try to hard, just listen and be patient.
I don't like low effort clones either. My only concern is the susceptibility of this project to being weaponized by dishonest actors. Some of us have been on the receiving end of false-flag spamming campaigns by competitors and have been penalized unfairly for it. If these filter lists take off, and I hope they do, they must have a well-documented process for accepting patches and another for handling malicious actors.

Another view is that employees at the old fashioned company you mention don't have to get hired elsewhere in order to receive an annual raise. The company therefore has less turnover, does not hire as often, and is therefore less likely to hire a low performer.
Slight segue but you sound like you know about ZFS (and if not, Cunningham's Law abides :D )

Does a VM on one physical host, backed up via nightly disk image on a geographically separate physical host, with the latter storing the backups on a 2-disk mirrored ZFS pool, count as a reasonable 3-2-1 backup regime? It's not storing mission critical up-to-the-minute user data, 'just' company files, so a one-day rollback would be annoying but acceptable.
I think you are downplaying kubernetes.

Nomad is very cool, as are most hashicorp creations, but it’s not in the same class. It’s a single vendor solution, has a lot less mileage on it, doesn’t have the same flexibility. It may very well solve your problem but I don’t know that it will work for as many as k8s does.

Really, someone should start to enable k8s with BSD technologies

Indeed. Not only does hormonal birth control lessen sexual desire, it also modifies who you feel attracted to. A development they've only recently begun to explore.
Fuzz testing is probably the #1 software security innovation of the last 10 years. It's "niche" only because it's currently hard to do. For people that have set it up, it's essential. With Go 1.18, it's easy for anyone to set it up, and a lot of people are going to find a lot of dumb bugs. Pretty much everyone that has written fuzz tests for their software has found at least one crash. I found one in a program with 100% test coverage within minutes of writing the first fuzz test. Sometimes you miss dumb things, and the human-written "I'm going to trick my program into malfunctioning" tests can simply forget things. (In my case, I had a few branches with similar logic. The unit tests did run all the code in the branches, but only tested the boundary case for two of the three. The fuzz testing found the third case immediately.)

Crashes in Go vary in severity (memory isn't usually corrupted, code isn't usually modified, the other goroutines don't stop serving requests because you probably have "recover" somewhere up the chain), but at the very least, by identifying the input that can cause crashes, you gain the ability to turn invalid input into an easy-to-understand error message, saving users and operators time and frustration. Users can retry the request with valid input. Operators don't have to freak out about log spam. And, of course, sometimes the crashes are a big deal; maybe you missed the "recover", or maybe you're calling out to unsafe code that DOES corrupt memory.

To me, fuzz testing is the headline feature in the 1.18 release. And it's the release that introduces generics.
The same things have been said about cars, music, movies, the internet etc. People make their choice and choose porn or anything else. Chasing sex for pleasure never made a lot of sense evolutionary but there was in past decades a lot of social pressure to be seen as sexually successful. People are rejecting that and don't feel ashamed for it anymore

She is not really unsong at all. She is very, very recognized in the industry and everybody that is seriously interested in space travel knows here. She has been on my list of influential woman and given many talks and speeches all over the place.

Of course she is not Musk famous, but nobody is.

People who hate Musk sometimes try to claim all SpaceX is because of her. That is certainty wrong and she herself would not agree to that. But she is certainty amazing at what she does and starting out doing sales she increased here power and responsibility over the years until she was the clear 2nd in command.

She allows Musk to focus on the new development, innovation and strategy.

All wins in my book.

I like Reddit but I think you have to be very careful about trusting any information on it, it's a populist's wet dream.

There have been multiple times on Reddit I saw a comment about something I personally had deep knowledge of, and was astounded at how inaccurate the comment was relative to the thousands of upvotes and dozens of awards it had.

This has made me wary of comments relating to subjects I have zero expertise in, as I can't properly evaluate if they're correct and I can't trust the responses or upvotes because those might come from people with as little expertise in the subject as me.

Since upvotes don't correlate with truthfulness, they only correlate with popularity, they're useless as a measurement of how accurate a comment is. This is usually exacerbated by how popular a given subreddit is, with smaller niche subreddits being better (in my experience).

That said I do indeed go to Reddit first for most of my purchasing or entertainment decisions, just have to be careful to take any info there with a massive heaping of salt.
There have been instances of local police departments making a fucking contest on who could seize the most money on the next highway [1] from people just passing through.

Can you imagine the productivity of society if technologists could get a grip on churn?

I'd go so far as to say it's a crises in our industry. But the cost is very hidden.
Why not? CO2 levels in blood must be tightly controlled. It probably can't get twice as high as usual.

If there's already 4% of CO2 in the air around you it's an immediate danger. While you can spend 10 minutes in 3%.
If your body could bump up CO2 in exhaled air from 4% to 8% then you'd probably have bo problem surviving in air thay contains 4%.
Wait, how is that even mathematically possible? Most people are heterosexual and there is roughly the same number of men and women. Are you saying that there is a small cohort of men that have sex with most of the women? I find it hard to believe — most people, men and women, are monogamous.
I agree, and I think you’re starting to see that with the container spins of Linux.

I’d guess that in a 10 years, somebody will ditch ancient POSIX stuff and hardware support and do something new.
In terms of rocket launches Wikipedia is very good. I certainty don't know about a better source. Maybe SpaceX has a list public somewhere but I would not sure that is as up to date and detailed as Wikipedia.

Relationships are hard, even with good people, so try to lower the stakes. Have a friendly coffee with no real expectations with more people. More dates with less expectation. This is what helped me. I said something completely stupid and autistic on my first date with my now wife, but she stuck with me because she saw potential.

Relationships are a numbers game. And to help decide who to keep and who to discard, I like the Secretary Problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secretary_problem

Young Woman are more "Fuk Boi" than most Men. See only a small % of men really end up being "Fuk Boi" Material.

The rest either are financial loosers or work/family becomes their life. Do nothing more than work all day to bring home the big bucks, and spend the rest of their night with their kids and wife.

If you've ever read articles about Tinder and the whole random hookup culture, you'd know it is largely driven by a small % of men and a wider range of woman that are not looking for a relationship at all. And a large % of Men that fail to attract anything.

I found my soulmate early in life and have kids. Work is my life. I find this whole idea of not enough sex stupid. The real goal is and always has been making money. Jerk off and go back to grinding. Retire at 50. Have mid day sex then. Otherwise jerk off and stick to having sex at night before bed.
> My wife? It turns her in to a raging, emotional, monster.

Mine too. It was fairly difficult to convince her that it was not a "real" emotion and had an external cause.

Its given me a very negative few of hormonal birth control. The copper IUD has some downsides but seems to be the ideal option.
I appreciate the thought, but I’d raise the same thing I mentioned in the other comment, that I’m here for humanitarian reasons rather than simply trying to “strike it rich” or something. My ethics and morals are incredibly important to me and you suggesting that just by merely being present in this country without knowing why is in someway selling myself out is presumptuous.

I’ll add something else, as someone who has faced racism growing up in the Bay Area very very often, I’m sensitive to it and it’s something I push back on every time I’m faced with it here.
None needed. Your snot and saliva has your DNA in it.
For those asking for evidence, this is a piece if it [0]. Lack of sex is driven by young people, mainly young men. Although the share of sexless women happens to be at an all time high as well, it is nowhere near the level of men.

I don't think though it can be inferred from here that women hook up with the top 10/15% of men.

I've only been browsing here for about 10 of the 15 years, but I remember a time when the discussions closely matched what I and the public at large could discuss in private without fear.

But there has been a chilling effect in recent years where more and more topics become verboten and someone will get downvoted, at a minimum, for even bringing them up. Interesting topics and child threads go missing on the regular. We're even at a point now where certain corporate press releases cannot even be questioned at all, despite the same corporations being stuck with heavy fines for similar past behavior they're being accused of now.

I still like HN for the purely technical aspects, but I don't know anyone who still views it as a place where complex ideas that affect society can be discussed anymore.
> calories are obviously the measure of how much heat you get from burning something, not the heat itself that you're "burning"

I think that's exactly the point: calories can only measure how much we're burning, but what we're burning matters just as much, if not more. If your gas service was cut off, you would (I hope) not pump crude oil into your furnace instead. It might be accurate (as far as it goes) to say that a furnace is a machine for turning hydrocarbon fluids into heat, but you probably respect your furnace and its requirements too much to do something like that. Most people, including too many exercise and nutrition "experts", are all too happy to make oversimplifications nearly as silly when thinking about our own bodies.
Telegram's founder was forced to sell his business to Putin's cronies and leave Russia after he publicly refused to cooperate with Russian secret services during anti-Putin protests back when he was still running VK (Russia's Facebook). A few years later, Kremlin banned Telegram in Russia. I find the idea that Telegram is funded by Russia ridiculous. He is as anti-Putin as you can get.
Lynx is the best reader for the economist.
Can't speak for the quantity, but didn't the big analysis from OKCupid determine that 80% of women are fighting over the top 20% of men? The data was published in a book called Dataclysm by Christian Rudder.

I took the attitude that moving to industry was just a phase in my academic career; in my case it opened up many new doors for my research. But this is not common.
