> One way to think about “declarative programming” is via an analogy to a system of “simultaneous equations”. If there is a solver that can solve them, then it is extremely handy to just add a new equation for each new situation, and let the solver find a viable solution for all together.

This sounds about right. We should use more declarative constructs. My choice would be functional programming at the lower-levels and DSLs at the higher ones. When I say DSL I mean in the semantics rather than a popular left-to-right readable syntax. Though not mutually exclusive the latter can detract from the former.
I guess you can say that apprenticeships were an accepted form of education before the modern times...
None of this shows systemic discrimination against men.
Ossia looks really interesting - I've wondered for years how the "timeline vs node graph" distinction could be erased.

> 01974

People from the year 100000 might be offended by this notation. But in seriousness, what is the extra 0 for? Even without it, 1974 and 10000 are perfectly distinguishable, and for computers good methods to store long dates use binary storage formats, so amount of ASCII decimal digits doesn't matter there
Ask HN: What are the best mobile blogging solutions?
Now, I know a chunk of y’all are sitting there on a MBP or trusty Thinkpad going “Isn’t every solution mobile these days?”.

But what I’m shooting for is a solution that works on a mobile phone, via browser or app, that is more akin to the more minimalist markdown options out there for desktop users. Shuffling apps to upload and host an image from my phone then copy paste the url then going back to the writing app is a pain.

I figured some of y’all out there have gone more minimal by ditching the desktop for just a phone outside of the workplace.
Do you feel complicity in every death caused by people acting for "your government"?
I don’t enjoy the process of having to build the site and push the built site to a service like github. It adds a certain kind of friction to the process of “saving” my work that just isn’t life-giving for me.
Fair point regarding the average. But I stand by "vastly". Dating as a male who is breathing and can tie his shoelaces in downtown Toronto was absurdly easy due to the skew in numbers.

It looks like in the huge majority of metro areas, women still earn less than men. I'm not so sure that women outperforming men in some areas is cause for alarm.

Weren’t there big campaigns about the gender pay gap recently?

I thought they said women made a fraction of what men earn?

It means something along the lines of "the depiction of stay-at-home mother on TV shows/assumptions made by friends and family/etc make people think that's how they should do it and they just follow along".
While I don't doubt your knowledge, note that many aspects of European language, including English, and including the European alphabets, are in a sense transliterations of Greek.
Nah, we probably are more wary about answering this type of poll. Them young'uns just give all their private data to anyone who asks, not so those of us who have been around a bit longer.

The grocery stores are already full of food, why do we still need farms? If you ever plan to stop working you need young people to buy your 401k stocks from you and pay for your Social Security.

The problem with low fertility rates is not (primarily) population decline, it's demographic collapse. As long as fertility is below replacement the proportion of elderly increases _forever_.

What about immigration?

The US is in a much better position wrt to this than many other nations because of our high rates of immigration but low fertility is a global phenomenon outside of a handful of places like Nigeria and Afghanistan.

> the fertility rate continues to decline regardless.

You're right. Nobody has figured out how to raise fertility rates once they start dropping.
> My understanding is most of the mid career pay gap is due to women prioritizing child rearing over career.

This is a common misconception. The gap I'm talking about can't fully be explained by this. It does affect the glass ceiling though, even if the women don't choose to have kids. I really do mean there's no smoking gun. You can even account for worse negotiations, prioritization of work life balance, work flexibility, family, and you don't fully explain a gap (albeit it does get smaller, but remember that even a 1% difference is significant here).

I really suggest listening to Rebecca Greenfield's The Paycheck. The first season goes into all this. I think it's a lot more convoluted and surprising to many. It's also not focused on median earnings and so I think is really good if you want to understand fairness (glass ceiling is also discussed). And I don't think anyone disagrees with your second paragraphs. Women should have choice. But there's still gaps that aren't explained and we shouldn't just easily dismiss them. I should also mention that this gap is in no way a phenomena strictly in America. It's global.

A lot of economists have put in a lot of work trying to understand this and there really is no agreement on what does cause it. So don't dismiss things so easily. Most problems in our modern and complex world have many casual factors and large casual graphs.
I honestly thought this was about nudism, initially.
In the US, at least, a majority of development is largely dedicated to SFH developments or multi family housing (ie, "duplexes"). We have a large emphasis on encouraging urban sprawl rather than scaling vertically. Any remaining land that is not zoned for SFH is mostly sold to private developers where it only makes financial sense to develop luxury condos (especially in some hostile markets where the building code is constrained).

Solving the affordability crisis in the US will require a multifaceted approach involving radical changes in existing land zoning and building code; decoupling our city planning from roads + cars to alternative modes of transportation such as walking, biking, or public transportation; and having the O&G and auto industries pay their share for getting us into this mess.
Next pushes towards serverless functions and API routes that I didn't really enjoy using for more than just a trivial endpoint. Blitz is currently built on top of Next so this same issue came up, and its value proposition is really only there if you use Next.

I'm looking forward to this change and using Blitz again, as the frontend experience was super nice.
Probably the better faith argument is that it should impact both genders equally, but it's a lot harder problem to solve, with multiple layers of interaction in a dynamic system.

I see this line every so often that Patagonia will repair or replace damaged articles, but the one time I tried, I wasn't successful. I purchased a Tortentshell rain jacket and the laminate on the top of the hood started to peel after a year or so. I took it to a Patagonia store for inspection and they offered to recycle it for me. No repair, no free replacement, no offer of a discount on a replacement.
I’m not sure how you can spend a 200k income on a kid and avoid them becoming spoiled rotten.

Very well written, and I completely agree.

But how can we have this discussion as a society when anyone attempting to discuss it is shouted down as a bigot? (Which is odd because it’s unfair discrimination we’re trying to fix.)

In our workplaces it is acceptable to promote one side of the argument, which is declared by HR to be morally virtuous, but promoting the other side of the argument would quickly lead to termination.

Outside the workplace, any attempt to organize or speak out on this topic will similarly be intentionally misinterpreted and then the mob will demand the person be fired.

I’m not sure how we resolve this when only one half of the discussion is allowed.
As a Google employee, do you think the content accurate?
For the case of men and women in particular, both face gendered discrimination in different ways and different contexts. But pop feminism had so thoroughly incorporated a shallow understanding of privilege that it's considered impossible that a man could face any kind of adverse discrimination because of his gender.

Ironically, this is because it coincides with a preexisting sexist concept: the idea that men have universal agency and women lack it, leading to attribution of hyperagency to men and hypoagency to women. And from that we get the idea that the entirety of gender is Men collectively victimizing Women, blasting away all of the layered subtleties and contextualities of gender roles.
I'm surprised too (or was in the past). Nice looking clothes and saying that one's work is going great, wow. I didn't try this but I know others who do
Sure, the more recent data will always have a higher value if you are looking at massive datasets.

But I think if you look at this problem from an individual perspective. Key data that is unique to them doesn't change most of the time. Say a target person has dental issues and you have their phone number. There is a high chance that in 5 years from now, they still may require dental services and their phone number hasn't changed. They may have moved jobs, neighborhoods etc. in between but their need for dental service has remained constant and probably will into the future.

Let me give you another example. Say you want to run for public office, and in your young adult life some of your social media pages had questionable posts/media. Is this data any less valuable to your competition running for the same office?

I may be taking a different approach with this but a lot of nuances get lost in the numbers.

My point is once the data is out there on the internet, it can be hard to control it and/or assign value to it.
Skyscrapers have to hold the weight of the skyscraper, cinder blocks wouldn't work. Cinder blocks probably max out at two or three stories unless you do brick on concrete frame like you see in some countries.

Wood also maxes out at some point, and even poured concrete - which is why the tallest skyscrapers are glass on steel.

People are assuming this is possibly a bad thing.

How do we know that young men today don't lack the interest in monetary success that may have been possessed by their elders? I know I'm not the only guy who's made it to "senior" level in their career and realized that money doesn't make up for time spent with people and fulfilling activities.

This isn't to say there aren't other factors at play, or disadvantages specifically towards men, but earning more money isn't the end-all-be-all of success. Many wealthy people are actually miserable, and the suicide rate for women has also been increasing (yes, along that of men, but still). How do we know that women are proportionally reaching more life satisfaction, or that men aren't?

I’m not surprised by the specific psychological benefits enumerated. Speaking as someone who has struggled for much of my life to learn to apologize—a challenge for a variety of reasons, but definitely exacerbated by rejection sensitivity—that’s exactly what refusing to apologize felt like, even if I didn’t realize it at the time. However, this came with some pronounced social damage. Not to mention hurting people I care about, again even if I didn’t realize it at the time.

Learning to apologize, when I’m in the wrong or even just when I’ve mistakenly caused harm, hasn’t been easy. I still have work to do. But it’s had psychological benefits too. It’s helped me form more stable and trusting bonds, which has had the unintuitive-to-younger-me benefit of assuaging my rejection sensitivity, and even making me feel more secure in my self esteem. It’s helped me feel I can also better trust others, and that I can expect the same regard when I’ve felt wronged.

I’m not disputing anything in this study, but I think this perspective is also worth sharing.

Yup this is one of those headlines that generates the opposite discussion of what the data actually shows. The conversation on this article will naturally be about how men are falling behind or about how feminism is outdated but the actual data in the article shows men outearning women in most metro areas (in some of them, by huge amounts) and women outearning men in some metro areas.

The article shows men earning more than women. But the discussion is all based on the interpretation that women are now outearning men.

Well.. but to me this one is easy to put in the "possible bikeshedding" category without throwing out all of the other ideas. Such as, even if someone _really_ proves one way or the other, is it really going to be such a big difference?

I prefer camel case but I am very skeptical about snake case being so much different. Anyway, that's really another type of thing from advice about making small tweaks versus comprehensive models (for example.).
Systematic Discrimination is not an intent, it is a consequence.

As defined: “Systematic discrimination, also called institutionalized discrimination, refers to a method of discrimination which occurs regularly in the workplace as an inherent part of the company through interactions and processes creating a disadvantage for people with common set characteristics such as race, gender and disability over a long period of time. Systematic discrimination is not apparent at first sight but is actually systematic in its application of policies and practices.”

Similar evidence is presented commonly to explain why the executives are predominantly male, I'm not sure why the circumstances must be different here.
>Person 2: I don't care about privacy, because I don't have anything to hide.

Because of this person's lack of caring, they don't realize that it's not just their privacy that they are sacrificing. By sharing their contacts, they just gave up all of the privacy of those people as well without so much as a hesitation of thought. The person who does care about privacy has 0 chance because of the careless actions of others.
Betting against tether is not only betting against the long term growth of crypto currencies increasing in value, it is betting that regulatory overhang will drag the value of tether down from its supposed dollar peg.

We can and should imagine a bank holiday is possible where you cannot spend or withdraw from a bank. This is the possible scenario with Tether, the tether token contract can be locked for any address, this includes exchanges. An asset that is illiquid, may function as a line item in a ledger, and if it cannot be traded or moved the market will vanish. The chaos this would cause would be devastating.

I use mostly this same setup for my personal site and blog [1] [2].

Git (versioning) -> Github (Git hosting) -> Github Pages (static site generation, and hosting) -> Cloudflare Free Plan (DNS and CDN). I have a Gitlab account that has mirrors of my Git repos, just in case.

One question, though. How do you use more than one CDN to front your website?

IME, they try to project more confidence and self-esteem because they feel very vulnerable.
Actually, I take back what I said. I was wrong.

Apologies are useful and not necessarily indicative of cruelty. It acts like a social lubricant and I can understand using it tactically, just to keep the peace.

For some reason, I was only thinking of genuine, remorseful apologies, as if OP was just harassing people all day long, but obviously that's not the case here. There's a lot of small gestures one can do to avoid social faux paus.
Mud houses and yurts should be more common in the USA, especially as many places have perfect climates for it.

I don’t think there’s a “both sides”.

The reason this is lazy thinking in my view is because usually it’s not associated with the good (Apple example, nobody goes “dang they really MBA’d the price on that MacBook Pro that I love) and because when something “bad” occurs there’s no understanding or analysis of the situation that lead to the current state. Just a bunch of “that’s bad, must be MBAs screwing me”. You find similar issues with “those Silicon Valley engineers all screwing us and stealing our attention” and other common phrases. The MBA one I think is even less nuanced than the contrived Silicon Valley one.

If we go back to the MBA thing. Well. I have one. I don’t like fast fashion. I wouldn’t want to support it even if it made more money. The degree doesn’t make you do anything, your incentives and who you are as a person are much more powerful. There’s no class on fast fashion (or similar) where MBA students are trained to maximize profit at all costs or not think about sociological impact. At least at Ohio State (Fisher) that was the case in all classes I attended. We spent a lot more time learning about not doing such things and how they are bad for business and society in the long run. My classmates had a lot of empathy. Maybe it’s because like me they were/are regular people just trying to do better.

So I really hate seeing this. To the extent it can happen on an internet board I find it a little offensive and disrespectful. Not a big deal or something just saying if you joined some forum and everybody said all the bad decisions were because of software engineers, well you’d probably at least get tired of hearing about it. Especially when you’re a regular person trying to be nice and do good, value-add work. Idk. Thanks for your comment.
If it affects both equally that's equivalent to no effect when comparing the difference. I think if we're discussing in good faith then you and the parent agree but are using different perspectives.
