> your body burns roughly the same amount of calories regardless of exercise

Can you explain how this makes sense?

Different physical activities (running vs. sitting, for example) require different amounts of energy to perform. Calories are a unit of measurement for this energy. It sounds like you (via referencing the article) are claiming that a human will expend the same amount of energy in a given period of time regardless of their physical activity.
To enjoy sex, or to even have a sex drive, you have to be fit. Maybe it is obesity.
> Why are some people so hellbent on removing functionality that other people use every day and can’t replace without significant expense and inconvenience?

I imagine you were outraged when laptops started replacing serial ports with USB-A, too.
I think you misunderstand how 1password vaults works.
In the article, it's mentioned that people there are held in jail for decades for debts below $1000. That's the "debt trap" in the title.

I'd argue that I'd rather let someone steal than let them rot in jail for such a long time, for such a low monetary value, be it from debt or from theft. I understand you may disagree, that's why we do politics.

Additionally, which country has the best "rule of law", comparatively? Talking in absolutes in that regard is moot in my opinion.
History suggests this isn't something HN likes to discuss, but could it also correlate with the rise of queer identities and general decline of straight sexual relationships? Half of my peers (myself included) came out as gay or queer after high school. That doesn't necessarily insinuate that they didn't engage in straight sex at the time, but the overall interest in it is certainly diffusing. I personally couldn't see myself in a fulfilling, long-term relationship with the opposite sex. Combined with the culture shock of being raised on Pam Stenzel videos, I don't really see this as surprising at all.

But I also don't really see it as an issue? Overpopulation has been a looming concern for the past few generations of human existence. Letting go of our "go forth and multiply" mindset has been a few decades in the making now, and loosening our regulation/criticism of the LGBTQ community coincides with that pretty nicely. Love is a matter of reciprocal fulfillment, and much to the chagrin of the self-proclaimed gigachads browsing Orange Site and /g/, that doesn't inherently necessitate procreation or family-building.
I'd like to point out that cops in my city are not low wage jobs. They earn ~200k and more if they do overtime.
Of course, since top tyre mens provide the best adherence, a paramount concern in wet conditions.
Dubai's much more honest about what it is; an absolutely monarchy that doesn't pretend to be a democracy. As long as you don't piss off the king or the locals, you're pretty much free to mind your own business and do whatever you want, especially if you're indirectly contributing to the king's real estate portfolio/the city's development. Singapore on the other hand is run by hall monitor types who believe they should have a say in every little aspect of how you live your life.

Poor South Asian migrant workers are also treated better in Dubai. In Singapore they have a separate class of work visa with very limited rights, and during covid they were locked down in their worker dormitories for over a year, unable to interact with the rest of society.
I mean, this has always been the case, though, so not sure what this long, rambling comment has to do with the decline happening today. I also think you're being hyperbolic. No one, except fringe groups, treats sex that way here.
"a lot of people like to feel like the rest of the world is a shithole."
I wouldn't say that's my bias - I like to travel so I like to feel like the rest of the world is welcoming. However, clear problems that are different from what I'm used to do make me uncomfortable
> I think a decentralized network that is permissionless to participate in, pseudonymous and censorship resistant is very valuable to society.

Any or all of these things can be true! But you're going to need to show that Bitcoin satisfies each of these conditions.

Last time I checked, it's a public, immutable ledger that anybody (not just officials with warrants) can track. The senses in which the Bitcoin network is "permissionless," "pseudonymous," etc. are all adaptive (and mostly non-formalized!) properties of behavior on the Bitcoin network, each of which has spectacularly failed in well-publicized ways.

> I think understanding central banking and monetary policy and history of money are not strong points on HN. Everyone here understands that a memory leak causes your app to crash given enough cycles. Being able to print unlimited currency is a memory leak.

I think I understand both central banking and monetary policy well enough (as a non-CS-but-educated layperson) to not require silly computer analogies. Conspicuously absent from this analogy are deflationary spirals, one of which Bitcoin currently is in. You don't need to be an economist to understand that the defining property of currency is its ability to provide liquidity to transactions (i.e., serve as a medium of exchange); deflationary assets are famously poor mediums of exchange.

I don't know about number 7 - most of the USA is actually pretty nicely temperate. There are some exceptions like death valley (3000 sq mi) or the chihuahan dessert (about 25000 sq mi in the USA), or some parts of Alaska, but we're talking about a very small area of a 3.7 million sq mi country. If those aren't your thing, I do recommend skipping them. UAE is only 32000 sq mi and it's all very very hot.

Otherwise that's all fairly accurate. But Disney world is pretty damn great.
"Evaporative cooling" is another term for the effect. Hot talent leaves, cold talent stays, diminishing your total talent-temperature.

ok ok, criticisms of the website aside, I'm reading the Dune novels at the moment and I'm totally enraptured by the story and the world. I completely welcome another re-imagining of the world its really great seeing how the characters are portrayed, and another RTS is very welcome in the market, in my opinion.
FWIW, your optimizations assume well-behaved SVG handling. This one, for instance, will cause problems:

> In fact, even each z can be dropped, provided no stroke is being used, removing three edges.

While that may be true according to the spec, I can tell you from a practical standpoint that it will break in Lightburn. It's SVG handling does unexpected things with implicitly closed paths, which suddenly go away when you explicitly move/stroke back to your starting point or "z".

I have not looked deeper into why, but if I had to make a WAG, I'd suspect it comes from their implementation trying to bridge the gap between SVG generators (which are optimized for "shape looks correct") and machine control instructions (which target the lower level "here are the steps to make this shape look correct"). You're then having to take something simple like a path and adding in the complexities of making machine control instructions for the practical rendering of that path, accounting for things like miters, etc. Seems like a complex layer, prone to tons of annoying little bugs like this.

I presume YouTube's designers/coders aren't worried about being able to run their UI widgets through a laser engraver, but I tend to chalk up these kind of "missed optimizations" to having some similar backstory of "we found this bug in this implementation, so here's the workaround".
Do you have a source for this claim? Specifically that women aren't having less sex too, and that the decline is almost entirely due to men. It's very possible for women to be more selective than in the past, and also everyone being less promiscuous overall.
Then how do you explain their recent behaviour?
Opinions will exist with or without your permission. There's no entitlement about it, and you would have no standing to decide it if there was. "Automatically not entitled to an opinion" is a dog whistle for fascism.
On a similar note, I turned away from MBP and use Ubuntu on T570. I do miss the aluminum build, but the modern linux desktop has improved so much in the last decade, that I don't miss the macos UI one bit. It feels good that the OS is not imposing itself between me and the hardware. For instance, you can't write x86 assembler 32bit in the intel mac machines, why? because apple decided for you.

I can't imagine going back to macos. To me the golden days is Mac OS X Lion, since then macos experience has been on a down hill path, trying to sell you their services, and I just tolerated until no longer can.
Are they? and how do you define young people? The two statistics I found in the introduction of the article are:

> percentage of high-school students who’d had intercourse dropped from 54 to 40 percent
> U.S. teen pregnancy rate has plummeted to a third of its modern high

Basically highschoolers are getting less pregnant (good) and having less sex, this might not extent to people between 20 and 30 years old.

Here is another article with more detailled data, they conclude that it is likely caused by US teens being less risk averse (correlation with less drinking, less smoking and less driving: teens are just being more responsible than their parents) : https://ifstudies.org/blog/fewer-american-high-schoolers-hav...
Both Dune and Dune II were released in 1992, Dune was interactive adventure from Cryo, Dune II was RTS from Westwood. Dune II was also re-released as Dune 2000 for Windows.

Dune was not bad, but personally I love Dune II a lot. It was the first RTS I played, and it had such a huge influence on this genre for the years to come.
This looks like the start of an incel complaint. You really think that 1/8 of men are sexing up 8x women, and "taking your opportunity" or something? In reality women are looking for partners too. No one owes anyone anything, just be a decent person, try to get over your expectations of the world owing you something.
AFAIK they only tester 3 of them, out off the whole cluster only 3 had been tested.

For all the criticisms Microsoft is getting for this, why don’t we criticize Apple as much for embedding web views in iOS Settings app (and now macOS System Preferences!), namely the subscriptions page and anything to do with iCloud settings.

I think this is key. Men's courthship is _extremely_ complex these years and has exclusively been vilified.

It appears as it is OK for people the merely point out how _not_ to court, and then men, automatically, knows how to do it right.
That doesn't really explain the downward trend--at least directly. As the article hints at, our view of pre-marital sex has never been more positive.

And the article does not that other countries are seeing the same trend--though the ones that are mentioned are also historically protestant.

I think its probably the opposite. Historical dating has been stigmatized. The norm seems to be sex first, then a relationship. Young women, in particular, but also young men, are described as "needy," "clingy," or "creepy" if they expect monogamy from the outset of dating. I'd probably still be a virgin if I had to lose it during a one night stand.
No, it is possible to hand code everything that moc generates.

James May roasts Richard Hammond's new workshop
Your best employees should always be working on the least important projects. Thus they will seem like coasters.

By making the best be on unimportant projects you get the following benefits:

Nobody worries about interrupting them if they have a problem - who cares if you make the unimportant project take more time.

Your second best people get to experience leading important projects and thus you grow them into the best people (sometimes the previous best people may need to take a turn leading, other times the third best get promoted). See above about asking questions - the best people can mentor them as needed - again nobody cares if it makes their project late.

Unimportant projects sometimes turn into next years most important project - and your best people have been creating a good base to throw lots of people at.

When sales/marketing discovers an sudden opportunity that needs people now - you have experienced engineers to take it over without killing progress on what was the most important project. (be careful about this one - if they only rarely have such requests it is fine, but if such requests take up too much time you probably should either have a dedicated department of engineers for this - with a real budget and management to ensure the requests are really valuable enough to be worth the time - or you need to tell sales not to make such promises)
My lack of drive in life comes from the disillusionment of the idea that life is a meritocracy. Get screwed over enough and eventually you realize it's all BS.
I can assure you, that is absolutely not the case for most women, though it may be for some. Women are perfectly capable of enjoying sex.

Rust: In It for the Long Haul with Carol Nichols [video]
Mid 20s, here is my perspective.

I have spent the last 7-8 years studying like my life depended on it, and I have little to show for it. I am autistic, so I haven't developed the social skills necessary. Every social interaction is a conscious process and I have to consciously read everything to interact "normally".

The effort is simply not worth it. Why should I even bother approaching a person when with high probability they will think I am a creep? Why bother ruining my mood and another person's? Is sex worth the effort? Is a relationship with a person who will end up judging me for being too weird worth it? Is the time and effort spent in all that "worth it"?

If my last 2 relationships are any indication, a relationship just isn't worth the hassle.
This is a lame excuse, say what after the forced account migration is my pourchase invalid? Will Microsoft just drop the db table with my purchase and logins? Will they refuse to migrate people after?

No, they have to keep all that data and confirm even 2 years from now that I paid for this game and migrate my logins ,

Tell me know what is more expensive

1 Keep the Mojang logins for Java edition. do nothing

2 Write ton of code to force migrate Java edition players into the XBox ,Microsoft accounts.

It is not lke I can play from Linux PC with an XBox person multiplayer so there is Zero benefit for me, just some mangers and develoeprs at MS getting busy.

If someone explicitly writes "160 000" calories I'm going to assume they meant 160 kcal.

I'd love to count calories. I'm just too lazy to measure and research everything I eat, and the alternative is to have only processed foods that are labeled.

As an industry we seem to think hard and make proclamations about programing. Where we should be thinking hard and making hypothesis and testing them.

Turns out some people have been doing this and some people put it into a nice book. They conducted systematic reviews of the literature around many software development questions.

The book (I know about anyway) is:

Making Software: What Really Works, and Why We Believe It

and Chapter 17 address pair programing.

It has been a while since I read it, and it is a little thick to jump in and read it to make sure I'm 100% accurate ATM. But the summary I took away for my work environment is that, you get the same productivity with 2 devs working by themselves vs 1 pair, with a lower defect rate. I'd like to quote things directly but I'm not investing that much time right now.

Pair programing IMHO is skill that needs to be learned, and it is a different skill depending on the type of pair you have at the time and what you're trying to do
I find this line of argument to be self proving. It seems like a variation of begging the question.

If you define a term in such a way that it is completely culturally determined, you can then prove this concept is subjective and culturally determined?

The 4th against the bass changes the perception of the root. This is why it was avoided. Using the word dissonance to refer to this is just confusing.

The definition I use and is used in the work you are rebutting is consistent, has a physics explanation and is largely cross cultural.

At best all that is going on here is a disagreement about the definition of a word.

At worst this discussion is some sort of proxy for a metaphysical disagreement about postmodernism and the subjectivity and cultural framing of all reality.

Conspiracy theorists are never surprised. That's the deal.

Any information can be effortlessly be turned to support or expand the theory. The government could announce we've been in contact with aliens since the 1950s, and conspiracists would go "see! but they're not telling you <new variant on theory>!"

Is this not begging the question? A cursory glance through pubmed doesn't show evidence for this.

If you were to say you did most other tasks four to five times a week you would call it a habit and not an addiction.

Certainly compulsive sexual behavior, hypersexuality disorder, and sexual addiction have many hits in pubmed but the requirements seem to require significant negative impacts on one's life and not the actions themselves (or necessarily even the frequency) as the issue.[1]

You deserve what you get then.
A lot of low end consumer devices don't. For example the PS Vita supports N but not 5GHz, nor do most kindles until the latest Paperwhite. It was also super common for cheap $400 laptops in 2011 to have N but not 5Ghz support.
Not having "sub-combinators" might have contributed to that, and the relentless moderation by dang, who has mildly reprimanded me too. I think it works very well indeed!

What Is Rust's Hole Purpose?
What's the business model here? It seems like delivery bots could only work on wide walking paths on closed campuses. Or are the startups here assuming we'll build dedicated infrastructure for them?

I can't imagine they would ever work in real world cities (putting rolling roadblocks on busy public sidewalks is antisocial at best, and besides they're bound to get blocked by obstructions en route that require them to be lifted up and over the curb--trash cans, outdoor seating, carelessly parked scooters...)

And if I ever came up behind one put-putting along in a bike lane I'm not sure what I would do but I like to believe it wouldn't technically be illegal.
100% this for me. I do intermittent fasting and my first meal is around 2pm. I do brazilian jiu jitsu around 6-9 and skip dinner. When I come home Im not hungry at all for at least an hour. Ill get a little hungry and if I eat or drink anything, the floodgates open and I cant stop eating. It is better to go to sleep a little hungry.

I try to have a 500 calorie deficit. If I have more than about 500 (say 1000) Im fine that day, but the next day Im ravenous and tend to overeat.
Yes, but it's pretty lame that they substitute a static screen that lasts as long as the ads in the place of the ads. It would be much nicer if they excised them.

I'd guess that the majority of Mojang accounts don't have a corresponding MS account already.

> "Every user changes their workflow" is not a practical solution.

But that's precisely what MS are enforcing - you have to migrate your Mojang account to an MS account.
It is Heaps, yes. Both Heaps and Haxe were created by the same creator (who also owns Shiro Games). Although, I would advise against Heaps for people who are new to game development as it is relatively undocumented.
