This enabled me reach out to an ”apparent” friend (someone I had very casual relationship with and didn’t talk to for 10 years) in 30 second. And that person helped my “true” friends evacuate from Ukraine and avoid being killed.

Extended social networks are integral part of humanity and communities. Being isolated and interacting only with handful of true friends is more modern invention.

I really don't know why you think that true:

And i really don't know why you speak for "programmers", just speak for yourself...maybe?
>> I won't dwell on this, but not every (or even most) children benefit from this approach to parenting. Extreme rigidity, in fact, is more associated with negative long-term outcomes.

Nobody is advocating "extreme rigidity". Consistently enforced boundaries have benefits for people across the board. I would argue that's the most important thing (maybe even the only thing) in raising kids to become responsible adults.
> You could run a super high valued company on just a handful of people, and society is just not ready for that.

Here is the hidden truth. So much of the current information sector is just daycare for grownups. Then there's a secret nucleus of people who actually do the real work. The secret to happy employment rests on being able to determine who's actually cutting lumber versus who's just playing dress-up.

If we want to gradually move towards a system of universal basic income, maybe we could help sell it by funneling larger sections of society into IT, and just give them a bullshit job where they can fingerpaint all day to get their paycheck. Eventually you can let them stop fingerpainting and just give them the paycheck.

I agree - and will take it one step further: he misses the root causes of "instability", and I bet it tracks directly with the gutting of the middle class starting in the 70's, and/or the same flat-lining of wages (not keeping up with inflation etc) despite huge increases in productivity in about the same time period.

Money is a huge stressor in relationships. Misogyny is still a huge thing (to my utter surprise honestly). Abuse, etc. Options for financial stability to escape these things I would suspect to contribute as well.

Yes generally that's it.

Girl-bossing is also the desire / goal to achieve success in a traditionally male fashion; Elizabeth Holms, Sheryl Sandberg, Carly Fiorina, etc. The obscured bit to this is that men typically don't value this sort of success in their wives or mothers of their children and many woman chasing this success end up in mid-level make-work jobs anyway.

It takes a village https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_takes_a_village

With the breakdown of marriage and the increase of 'non-traditional' families / decrease in nuclear families, this proverb was bandied about as marketing for 'non-traditional' families. Of course in practice the outcomes match what you'd expect a child raised by an African village to be.
Defund the police blew up because it was a simple sounding solution that outsiders could support while they didn't have to deal with the consequences.

Actual members of impoverished and minority communities never supported it, they wanted more policing to keep their neighborhoods safe. The base of support was privileged members outside of those communities.
Computer Is a Tool. Here's How to Use It Like One. (2019)
This article puts the blame of macro-level societal trends on individuals and takes zero material factors into account.

"Norms were loosened around being an absentee father. So more men took the option."

No source is provided. Just an opinion. It's pretty clear that anyone with this kind of opinion about "societal norms" and pressures has a pretty myopic view of history that doesn't go back before the 1950s, or an extremely sanitized view of history. It couldn't possibly be because of increasingly bleak outlook for the children of the working-class or a failed war on drugs or any number of actual tangible things other than "people are being degenerates"
Yours was the first sensible comment I came across.

While it's true the availability of fermentable carbohydrates in modern diets has contributed to the prevalence of dental caries, etc, it is mostly collective cultural amnesia to believe our ancestors had perfect teeth.

The concept of "tooth worms" existed for thousands of years prior to the advent of medical science. I'm on mobile, but I also recall reading about ancient remains (possibly pre-humans) with drilled cavities, woven metal bracings, and many other types of dental protheses.
People are different. I, personally, find ownership of digital and physical things to “weigh” on me and so deleting something digital or giving something away physical is meaningful to me — it keeps my life simple in this moment, whether I acquire the thing again in future is not relevant. Not everybody is the same :)
Lmgtfy which might encourage you to reconsider making flame bait comments that serve no useful purpose.

There’s a bit more to this: a “perfect” fifth is not actually two notes differing by a factor of 2^(7/12), but rather by a factor of 1.5. It just so happens that 2^(7/12) is very close to 1.5, which makes it possible to tune a piano so that all fifths and all octaves sound approximately right.

Theoretically, though, there will always be some error: any non-integer power of two is necessarily irrational. Thus, there is no perfect way to divide an octave into equally hz-spaced increments so that you hit the fifth along the way to doing the whole octave.

What is a number?
This is exaggeration, I doubt that it can run AS/400 binaries.
Nice summary.

The fact that 7 of the 12 notes in an octave are assigned letters has always bothered me. It's quite arbitrary, we could just as easily have 6 letters + 6 in-between notes, or just 12 discrete letters.
Hey, thanks for the post. I was going to migrate some of my mailboxes to Zoho (ones that mostly receive netflix receipts and junkmail), can you elaborate about lack of unicode support? I can't find anything with a cursory web search.
I stay at a lot of hotels and I'd say it's becoming very common now days, at least in the UK and Europe. Pretty much the norm in all low-to-midrange chains, as well as many independents and even some of the more fancy chains (although I stay in those a lot less often!). There are some surprising exceptions, however: Hilton and Hilton Doubletree still do silly little plastic bottles!
Yeah, for those kinds of tasks they should be fine. I think OP was asking about laptops useful for more involved workloads, though.
> People don't like systems. Especially new ones.

I like how this can be read in two ways and both make sense.

People don't like new systems. But also: New people often don't like (the pre-existing) systems.
Yep, I worked at Google until they silently started sunsetting all the small endeavors and funneling everyone into Ads/Cloud/Search. Back in 2014, the internal position listings were full of fascinating projects that could bring a lot of good, and looking at it now, it's pretty clear the writing is on the wall for the culture. I left late last year.

Luckily, I've saved up enough to be able to work on Vale full-time for a year or two, hoping I'll have enough sponsors by then to be able to continue. If I play my cards right, I'll be able to make Vale into a nonprofit, a la ZSF. A worthy endeavor!
The one little nugget I'm gleaning is that for people who are able, not even volunteering that you're incapable of simply ignoring the account is also worth considering. Like setting up an email filter instead of clicking unsubscribe on a mailing list, since doing so is yet another piece of information.
> Not to mention there’s really no value in deletion. Log out, stop using all of the clients. The end.

I see value in deleting information about me on the Internet. Not to hide it from companies like Facebook (because they probably hold you data even if you delete them), but from other people. You never know who can use your pictures/profile for. Obviously, the first step would be to not publish sensitive information about yourself, but if that ship has already sailed, well, the least you can do is to remove it before you "log out and stop using all the clients".
Is Java escape analysis done at compile time or run time? I don't know.

FYI: As I understand, escape analysis is frequently used to either (a) avoid allocating on the heap, or (b) auto-magically free-ing a malloc'd object from a tight scope.
Reading books are another type of fantasy land - games vs books have their pluses and minuses. Video games can be far more social, but can be vapid. Books can also be vapid, and very isolating, and give you the false belief that you are experiencing things. Books and games can be intellectually and emotionally stimulating. I've read a lot and played a lot, and, as usual, I've found a balance to be the best. I don't read as much as I used to (at least fiction), and going back and reading the occasional fiction book now and then has given me a different perspective on books.
Is that really an issue?
If you are a stable personality finding a mate isn't that much of an issue. Especially today with high mobility and dating apps if you put your back to it you can find a partner.

> Your statement is victim blaming.

Really? You're going to equate this to crimes someone perpetuates against another?

For weeks I've seen posts blaming Ukraine for being invaded and having genocide committed against them. That's victim blaming.

Social media users aren't victims of anything except their own inability to limit and moderate usage. Back in the day people would sit in front of the TV, now it's just a different screen. That's on them. Many people also use social media constructively; to do things like run their business, keep in touch with friends and family, etc...
> Men often don't fight for custody.

In the cases where both do, majority custody is almost always given to the wife.
I think pouring the alcohol down the drain does more than just waste time and money: it increases the cost of pouring another drink and creates an opportunity for self-reflection for the addict when popping open another bottle. This can make the difference between pouring one more drink and abstaining for another day.

For the only moderately addicted social media user, the cost of recreating your accounts might actually be greater than abstaining.

And all it would take is a small burst of motivation caused by finding a website that 1. causes self-reflection towards one's use of social media and 2. reduces the cost of deleting your accounts.

Point being, pouring the alcohol down the drain increases the cost of further addiction and increases the likelihood of prolonged abstinence.
Not sure of you realize it, but by focusing a common social-justice phrase on men alone you promote exactly the same kind of "identitarian culture war" that you decry. Might not be that effective.
> If you make a prediction of +2.5m new subscriptions, during a pandemic and associated economic flux, and the prediction doesn’t pan out, the only thing that’s happened is that you made a bad prediction.

I mean, that’s demonstrably false. The world works by individuals taking action based on expected outcomes. That crosses species and pervades every waking moment of life. It is involved in things as simple as walking and as complex as mate selection, migration or habitation choices among thousands of others.

To treat this instance of variance between expected outcomes and reality as somehow different makes little sense.
>I guess they don't scan your email automatically but when someone brings to their attention that you're using the service for "unacceptable things"

Maybe they don't. But, as I said in another comment, I'd prefer not to depend on what I think they mean, when they might actually mean something else.

Besides, as I said in the original post who decides what is 'socially acceptable'? It's not too long ago that being gay or trans might have been construed as 'socially unacceptable'.

Who decides what's 'Nazi'? Vlad the Mad seems to think he's liberating Ukraine from Nazis. The west seems to think he's the goose-stepper. A sizeable number of commenters on HN have been accused of being Nazis, coz they disagreed with someone else.

Who decides what's immoral? That's probably the vaguest one of the lot. Morality is an individual thing. I'm sure there are things I'd consider immoral that you wouldn't and vice versa.

Nope. I don't care what the mechanics of the censuring process are. But I know I don't want to trust my correspondence to a company which sets itself up as an arbitrator of social acceptability and morality.

Imagine if your snail mail postman opened your letters and refused to deliver any he didn't approve of.
I don't have accounts on any of these platforms.

But when I follow people (where possible, e.g. twitter) I only follow people that are interesting or have a completely different worldview than me.

Stop being so adverserial. Parent hasn't stated any pro-brexit sentiment so just assume they're arguing in good faith.

The whole idea of the EU is that all nations in it are subservient to the commission. We like it that way because that makes the collaboration more rational and it makes the rising tide lift all the boats. Wether you agree with it or not, the idea of the Brexit is that the UK can be strong without the EU, possibly even stronger. Wether that will happen remains to be seen.

But how can you say they can't be independent of the EU in power while commenting on an article that's literally about them establishing power bypassing the EU?

I'd love for the UK to come back to us in the EU. But their "intentional obtuse"-ness is exactly what they should be doing to make good on their promises to the citizens of the UK.
"Don't say gay" used to be the rule not just in elementary schools but in most organizations in the US. Up until 2011, you would be immediately dismissed from the military if you said gay under the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy. The Democratic president at the time claimed to have a Bible-based belief that marriage is between one man and one woman, although a lot of commentators suspect he was lying for political advantage. I wouldn't claim that there's no issues the US as shifted right on, and you're right that abortion is a big one, but I don't think anyone who remembers what the country was like a decade or two ago could deny a general leftwards shift.
Transformers are very efficient and easy to
make for sure, and can ‘easily’ step up to millions of volts.

Longer distance runs of AC can have a lot of losses though due to inductance, especially when they’re close to large conductive masses (like seawater or earth).

DC requires expensive conversion equipment to get back to AC for the grid.

AC is cheap for short runs. Usually AC vs DC high voltage starts to be equally cost effective around the several hundred miles of buried lines, and a clear winner around the 1000 mile range (efficiency and capex wise).

HVDC can also allow grid balancing when disparate grids are connected (different frequencies and voltages for instance).
I disagree.

I’m not sure I understand the spring example shown. It’s definitely underdetermined as one solution is to have the middle string at tension 0 in which case there is no difference between what’s shown and what we get when this string is cut. So there seems to be maybe some extra criteria that need to be asserted for when we get the unexpected behavior… but I wonder if when that’s added in explicitly it wouldn’t seem so unintuitive.
The elites in the US lowered the top tax brackets considerably, and intentionally moved education funding from grants to loans in previous decades. Both of these moves feel like they have lowered social mobility, but I haven’t seen studies.
You can work hard and still lose hope. Just look at the suicide rates in the farming community. You'd be hard pressed to find a group that works harder than that. Hope is a huge factor. Hard work can only do so much if the system is failing and there's no hope.

Be careful throwing around the word quack.

Among The “SkepDoc’s” oppositions to the Weston Price foundation’s website are these assertions:

> [That weston price offered] Advice not supported by good evidence, like using unrefined Celtic sea salt, cooking only in stainless steel, cast iron, glass, or good quality enamel, thinking positive thoughts, and practicing forgiveness.

> Dangerous advice: drinking raw milk and avoiding pasteurization. They even hold an annual raw milk symposium. They also recommend frequent consumption of raw meat, raw fish, and raw shellfish.

Dangerous? Unsupported? Once again someone arguing passionately for “science” but in actuality arguing for their world view, which in this case was shaped as a physician in the Navy.
> Divorce is rarely the answer and does terrible things to children.

My mother was shocked that I supported my parents' divorce. She couldn't imagine how I wasn't devastated. They screamed at each other frequently. They'd stayed together "for the kids," and that was a nightmare.
Giving birth to a baby without being married is a religious point-of-view.

I am supposed to believe that a "sociology professor at Princeton, and Kefalas, a sociology professor at St. Joseph’s University" can somehow convince me that he knows what a "low-income woman" thinks or does in her life. I've lived around "low-income women" my whole life and I haven't figured it out.

"The conventional view is that a lack of money leads to out-of-wedlock births."

Whose conventional view? This is not the view of poor people.

"Today, one in six American men between the ages of 25 and 54 are unemployed or out of the workforce altogether: about 10 million men.", the book this came from was written by a conservative scientist from Iowa. I tried to check some of the stats and every one of them seem to be wrong.

This link outright proves there are not 10 million men unemployed in America. https://www.statista.com/statistics/193244/unemployment-leve... So who's statistics are right?

This is a horrible article that seems to do nothing by try and place blame rather than provide a solution to a problem that does not exist. I will go as far as to say this article is quite racist. The article says "American" men but then only targets white American men in their statistics. Which is it, American men or white American men?

This is a poorly written article based on personal views and statistics that don't even target the proper demographics of the content of the article. Unbelievable.
Very cool!

My observations:

- The renaming into *source = *destination was very confusing.

- I expected (sweet, sweet) 68k assembly, but it's all decompiled to C!

- For some reason MAME supports this musical instrument, and OP's work helped that project boot their emulation, sweet!
This seems like a lot of misplaced and irrelevant moralizing. Even in this article it is reported that men find little opportunity in labor markets that leave them with low pay and low respect. If low end jobs paid enough to support a family and might lead to higher pay over time then the situation would be different. Blaming this situation on expectations doesn't make sense when the labor market is clearly both critical and broken. Working class pay has steadily fallen for decades and economic mobility is near zero. In such an environment expectations and the attitudes of the upper classes have no bearing.

To be clear, in enterprise (non-embedded / non-mobile) programming, this is fine. Money (RAM) isn't the issue. Programmers with domain knowledge are much more expensive than adding more hosts or RAM. I am talking about the general case; I know HN loves to focus on "high performance / low latency", but that is less than 1% in "Enterprise Real World".

Sure, I mean, it's something to think about. Something I can read and consider which parts I agree with or disagree with and why that is. It's not a topic I know anything about really, beyond my general experience of life, so I don't need to be annoyed at things that an expert might recognise as being factually incorrect (unlike if I read, eg, a journalist talking about software where I'm likely to be frustrated at how many things they've got wrong)

I was in high school when FB came out, and man I got sucked into it, posting cringe things everyday. I was lucky I caught myself later on/stopped. Also means I didn't get sucked into TikTok (never used it).

I still partake in social media though just accounts not tied to my name.

I want to delete my FB account but it has all of my old pictures/videos from childhood. I closed it for now, made another one just for family.

The main reason I abandoned my main FB account is too many people that were asking me for money found me and I stupidly accepted their friend requests.

I spend most of my time alone though so social media still has a place for me.
