I built an app to solve a fundamental problem I had: How do I make friends as an adult?

- Boba is not a dating app.

- For community quality control, the platform will always be invite-only. Alternatively, new users may fill out an application to join the waitlist; all applications are reviewed manually. There's also a rating system - users who consistently receive low ratings after their meet ups will be banned.

- No more swiping, going through a ton of profiles, or wondering when you'll meet in person. Our algorithm will find someone just for you who also wants to get boba in the next 36 hours. You cannot chat with a match until you both propose your availability (boba place + time) for the next day.

- I'm aware that not everyone likes boba, but I had to start somewhere. If this app works, I can easily build Beer, Brunch, etc.
I've recently stumbled on Google's Perfetto in the last few months. Very very nice UI. I've been using it with viztracer for Python.
Don't worry, took me several seconds to parse it too :) Somehow the extra + (like C++) went through some cognitive filter.
“Bobby was hit by a car!”

“They we’re using a beta feature honey, it’s not Tesla’s fault.”

“Ok! I’ll go out and play.”

I’m so sick of people using BETA like some magic get-out-of-responsibility free card. Once you let people drive a 3000lb car remotely you can call it pre-alpha if you want. You’re still responsible.

Might as well call not-it.
It is the reference to the beta feature that stands out. If the airbag was a beta feature, it would not fly. Car manufacturers should not be able to hide behind such weasel words. If dangerous functionality is not fully tested, don't release it.
Taste is not subjective. The critics (cc Metacritic, >>> Rotten Tomatoes) are usually right about TV/film.

Decent Netflix TV:
Maid,
Unbelievable,
Ozark,
Narcos,
Bloodline,
Mindhunter,
Black Mirror,
Sweet Tooth.

They average like one decent TV show every 18 months. It's an absolute disaster.
So you agree it should be criminal, so that the rich can get prosecuted for it as well?

As someone with some knowledge of the accelerator, I'd describe it as a preferred partner program. I'd only recommend it to series B or beyond. The kinds of mentorship you'll get won't be very relevant to a startup. You won't learn about building companies and you won't gain much of a professional network to raise or sell to, but you'll get meetings with any part of Disney you want to pitch to for a partnership. For the right company that can be huge, like Sphero building BB-8. I'm unfamiliar with their terms.

I’m working on founding a nonprofit with the explicit aim being to foster exactly that, with coworking spaces being the central hub to collect and train techies (and other remote workers).

Here’s an excerpt from a draft of our organizational plan:

> When Americans raised in a rural area want to enter knowledge work or start a business, they’re usually stuck with two options: do something local, which caps their earning potential, or move to an urban metropolitan area, which exacerbates the problem of rural brain drain. [REDACTED] fosters and accelerates a recent third option: work remotely or start an internet-based business, opening up the earning potential formerly only available to those who chose to move to the big city, while keeping the people rooted in (and thus their earnings circulating through the economies of) their rural home.

> While the first thought to unlock aforementioned internet-based earning potential for rural Americans might be universal broadband on the scale of the rural electrification of America in the mid 1900s, there are two specific advantages that focusing on coworking as a complimentary solution provides. First, coworking spaces can be built as a centralized service for all citizens of a county, like a university exchange or a courthouse, when broadband internet service is available in part of a rural county but not to most of the citizens at home. Second, coworking spaces continue to provide value and foster economic potential even once every rural home has broadband internet, as evidenced by their success and popularity in cities across the world.
I feel that is so privileged of you to say that. You have a duty to know what is happening on the other side of the world when you're American, because the federal politicians you elect decide policy affecting the whole globe, and have done so unopposed by any equal force for over 30 years.

Being an American is like being a Roman citizen; you have to run the whole empire.
Huh—I never saw Netflix' British content as accommodating UK culture, but as accommodating American Anglophilia. Same reason they have a ton of Japanese content.

Maybe it's both, I suppose.
In this particular case, the tool being discussed is meant almost exclusively for people writing "corporate PR approved" content, so it makes sense that the sensitivity setting is cranked.

This happened irrespective of Netflix streaming. Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, BSG, Lost, etc. The thing is serial was fairly annoying if you had to be in front of the TV on Wednesday at 9pm every week to watch something. People would do it for a must-watch miniseries. But as soon as you could do on-demand it was a nice format for a lot of things.
Do you think other languages should do the same, because very few do any kind of runtime type checking (e.g. bounds checking) due to the performance penalty. Why focus specifically on python's lack of runtime type checking?

Anecdotally, my code in python is functionally fully typechecked and runtime type checking would solely penalize me by slowing down my code. There's no need for it because the type checker correctly proves the soundness of the program's types, in exactly the same way that Java's or C++'s do.

The point is precisely that you don't need to suffer the costs of runtime type checking if you have a solid typechecker. Lisp's approach here is worse than the one adopted by python/js/ts/go/etc.

Why are you doing KYC?

Yes - you're doing KYC because you're holding your customer's money.

Don't do that. Instead, figure out a way to provide trading services using your customer's accounts at existing exchanges (or DAOs). Let the exchanges do KYC.

In other words, be a tout, not a bookie.
I still cannot help but think they have a deep mistrust of software given their digital efforts other than Pixar. Letting EA do it versus continuing Lucas Arts doesn't seem to be isolated.
10k/year on a property with a market value of 125K is a far higher cap rate than I see to begin with, but I live in a nicer area where a room in a house is the only thing you can get for less than $1000. I know there are much higher yields in Section 8 and slumlording, but that's more of a business than an investment because of the extra work involved, and one where I hear success requires a moral compass that I don't align with.

This is a big problem for Europe.

The war in Yugoslavia in the 1990s flooded Europe with cheap military weapons. To this day an AK47 costs about 200 euros. Armoured cash trucks have actually been attacked with RPGs...

I fear that this war will only lead to another wave of black market military weapons in Europe. Of course some of these may end up in even worse hands than common criminals.
How is the broadband? I'm in Dublin and often contemplate moving out but I run into connectivity issues in many of my favoured locations.
Oh, that would do it. Yeah, you can tell anyone who's into insulting Disney definitely gets their opinions from news media, it's pretty obvious they've become this weeks punching bag.
Are you sure? TLB misses mean a pagewalk. Sure, the directory tree is probably in L3 cache, but repeatedly pagewalking through L3 to find a memory address is going to be slower than just fetching it from the in core TLB.

I know that modern cores have dedicated page walking units these days, but I admit that I've never tested the speed of them.
I am bring lazy but I can cite at least 200 cases (from recent past) where Modi regime (mis)used government agencies to harass its critics/opponents/muslims and timing of each misuse was impeccable. As a case study, just see the use of ED in last 12 months alone. There is a remarkable pattern. Some person/org become critical of Modi and in next few days, he is arrested/detained/raided.

Of course Modi regime maintained that agencies were working independently and without any political motives. And naive people like you agree.
They're very different. YC is for companies in the idea or pre-PMF stage and want help building a business. This is more for established companies that are looking for creative partnership opportunities. Epic was hardly a young company when they did it, and the outcome was mostly to sell UE to Disney in exchange for equity.

I would check out JumpCloud, I don't know that it will do all that you want, but worth looking at. It is free for 10 users or below, after that you have start paying, so easy enough to experiment with. I know it will let you have linux users and specify if they have sudo or not. I don't remember if you can do things like check if the disk is encrypted or deploy things, there really aren't many products for Desktop Linux to do such things that I am aware of. I mean if they are on the network (VPN) and you have SSH access to those machines you could always use ansible or something to install software and SSL certs.

What does "absolute limit" mean in this context? And does it imply that we are somehow closer to what would need to be "solved" to extend life? I mean if you know what the bottleneck is, it seems like it would represent a target for future research. Or does that approach not make sense here?

> Social editor Emily Lipstein typed “Motherboard” (as in, the name of this website) into a document and Google popped up to tell her she was being insensitive: “Inclusive warning. Some of these words may not be inclusive to all readers. Consider using different words.”

If blacklist is considered non-inclusive language, why isn’t motherboard? Motherboard is a needlessly gendered term that perpetuates stereotypes.

Still remember in 2006, went to a local internet cafe in rural India to fill out the form for requesting Ubuntu on a CD, and weeks or months later postman delivered it. It worked perfectly on the cheap laptop I had, in the first attempt.

The experience is still top notch. Can't thank Ubuntu team enough.

Now I keep a USB stick with Ubuntu image all the time as a Swiss army knife for fixing computers.
I regularly use "caffeinate rsync ..." to make sure that syncing finishes before the Macbook is allowed to sleep. So caffeinate just prevents sleeping until rsync terminates.

In the United States the fundamentalists have been doing it for much longer then that as well as people such as the members of the Parents Music Resource Center who controlled a considerable amount of political power.

This idea that it is a recent invention isn't really supported by the reality on the ground. Things like the satanic panic, Dungeons & Dragons / Metal being satanic, Rock being evil, and a host of other things have long been used to remove "undesirable" people for a long time before 2014 on both the local and national level.

The extremes have always used shunning and economic warfare tactics to shut up those who disagree with them.

I'd say less psychopath and more self-centered to a high degree. Folks that have been fed into prestigious schools, jobs, and general opportunities throughout their lives start to miss the smoke of what average folks deal with and go through. To them, the smoke blew away long ago, and the benefits they seek are often at competition with the benefits an average person might seek.

Please see my response in this thread.
Really well said. I think a big difference too is how far one takes a hobby. I can enjoy a comic book every now and then, or watch the Simpsons, or play a video game. But I’ve known people who plastered their cubicles with comic books, or displayed their massive collection of cartoon figurines. It’s when something becomes an obsession that I think it becomes infantilizing. This could go for “grown up” pursuits too. Wasting hours upon hours watching SportsCenter on ESPN doesn’t strike me as being more mature than reading comic books all day, and even someone whose whole life revolves around fishing or some other hobby might fall into that category. I think the key is to keep hobbies as hobbies and not make them your whole identity.
But 5800x3D has 96MB of L3. So even if all 8 cores are independently working on different memory addresses, you still can't cover all 96MB of L3 with the TLB.

EDIT: Well, unless you use 2MB hugepages of course.
I am very curious about a couple of things regarding that experience, so I hope you dont mind if I ask a question. I want to preface it by saying that I am not trying to dismiss this pracice as inherently dangerous or bad (because I frankly have no idea).

While with 14 days of it probably not being a concern in that aspect, but do people who do it for much longer periods (100+ days, or maybe even less would qualify) not have any atrophy-related issues in relevant systems? Anything related to their intestines and all the way to the exit, wouldn't they lose a significant amount of their ability to do their jobs properly? I am not saying they should be able to start processing 5000kcal of carb heavy food immediately in a single meal after the fasting stops with no issues (as that 5000kcal meal can would give quite a lot of healthy people who dont fast issues as well), but would their intestines actually be able to function fine again? I mean, for something even as banal as sphincter muscles, I am simply lost. Is human body actually that adaptable to handle it like a no big deal?
Right, "function-like". I thought OP was meaning the static type of a variable, which genuinely can't be known fully at runtime in general. But it turns out that they meant to write "... until runtime", not "... at runtime", which makes this all a bit moot. And invites more confusion about the two disjoint usages of the word "type" in the PL community, as seen liberally spattered about elsethread, but that can't be helped :-)

I worked at a company that was "hybrid" prior to the pandemic - deliberately, not because they were forced to be. 2 days in the office (same days for everyone) and 3 days remote. All meetings had a zoom link to support distributed work if you had to work from home for any reason. Some people worked in the office 5 days a week but they worked on hardware and shipping logistics, making presence a requirement.

It worked wonderfully. The two days in the office were full of ad hoc conversations, lunches, whiteboarding, pair programming .. all the stuff that's good about office work. The other 3 days a week, we stayed home and focused on building all the cool stuff we'd hashed out together with almost no interruptions. It was very much the best of both world, allowing both introverts and extroverts to thrive.

So hybrid working can turn out great IF it's a deliberate part of the culture. But in the general case of corporate America calling their workers back to the office, it does feel like a ruse.

I have a very hard time taking Seth MacFarlane seriously as a non-voice actor. I keep hearing all the characters he voices, and that clashes with the attempts to play serious characters.
Takeaway: It's possible to reduce them.

That's good. The rest: Eh. It's fairly weak as some kind of medical recommendation if you ask me.
Some of it would be what it does to "suspension of disbelief". It's hard to get immersed in a show if it doesn't seem real enough.
Lots of people showing their age in this thread. The discussion is essentially "I and my social group don't use Snapchat therefore their numbers are fake". If you go talk to people under 25 you will see a very different picture. Snapchat and TikTok are dominating the social media landscape.
The ideology can be "whatever content makes us the most money". Whether that content happens to coincide with a particular political or social issue may simply be a function of determining what will make the most money.

I'm not saying that's how all movies are made, it's not. But for a massive global mega corp like Disney I don't think that a particular political or social ideology is the driving force behind the content. If leadership thought that different content would make them more money, they'd find people willing to make that content.

Taking Disney as an example, if they actually wanted to push an ideology-- let's say one that's in line with their statements against HB 1557, then they wouldn't be running tours in Egypt or other countries that have anti-LGBT laws, or at least would be making similar condemnations of them. [1]

They say & do-- or don't say & do-- whatever they think will keep the money flowing. If they can't avoid being drawn into a social or political issue, they'll say whatever they think will best mitigate the damage of being involved. It's little different than the significant rise of greenwashing over the last couple of decades. That's as much of a social & political statement as well, but I don't actually believe the company means it.

The most common paths for people making mid-career moves to finance are from using software skills in industries like aerospace, defense contractors or manufacturing?

That doesn't sound right. I'm not even sure most people transitioning into finance from another career have any software skills at all (beyond Excel).
Of course they use it for trading and everything around for many years.
They are the same model. They both buy stuff, do some stuff and then re-sell the same stuff but with the modifications they made.

In the case of a trading shop, the stuff they do is playing the market liquidity, collecting interest, arbitrage, etc...

Sure there are some evil ones, but other businesses have those too.
I disagree. What is really trying to be banned here is things like talking about families that have two dads (or two moms). No-one is talking to kindergartners about sex in schools, homosexual or heterosexual. But they are talking about why one kids'd parents do not line up with another, and how that is ok.

As a side note: I have an 8-year-old son. I tried to explain a bit about this sort of thing, but just explaining about how adults are attracted to each other is something he is simply not ready to understand. Trying to explain sex to him at this point would just be confusing.

The problem is that some parents do not think that it is ok that someone has two dads, and really want to go back to the days when "those people" would be socially shamed and that shaming was supported by what is taught in school. And the governor of Florida, and his compatriots in that states legislative body agree with them (or are at least willing to play this for political points).

I happen to think that we should accept people's choices about who they think are family (there are extremes on this, and I am less certain about my stance the farther you go). And to some degree our laws and the court's interpretation of that have solidified that as the law of the land. Once we are there, pretty much the only thing that schools can reasonably do is to teach these "new" forms of family as normal. Yes that is against what some parents want, but if they want their kids not to be exposed to this then they better be taking care of their kids education themselves (homeschool or paying for private schools).
