Ask HN: How do you keep social life if WFH?
I moved to the Netherlands during COVID last year. I have a fully remote job and work from home 99% of the time. This combination has wrecked my social life, and I find myself sad and missing social connections and in a new place. I’m generally a social person that enjoys conversations with people, and service energy from being social. But, I feel like I’m stuck in a loop that I can’t even think properly to get myself out of it.

My initial step is to get to my office(1.5 hour train commute one-way) for two days of the week.

I would like to know how others in similar work patterns like myself handle it?
There's a meme that shows "leftist housing", and it depicts concrete tenements. It shows "capitalist housing", and it depicts tents under a bridge.

Haha.

But memes aside, no, there are many, many examples of public and social housing that are not concrete slums. Look at Singapore, Paris, the Marxhof in Vienna. Quayside Village in Vancouver.

If you'd like, I can provide links to many examples from many countries around the world of successful public housing that isn't Soviet bloc housing.
>Also, government operated facilities do not have a profit motive,

Great, so the shit-show we have now, except without any incentive to efficiently spend. Sure that will go over swimmingly. Everyone knows that government construction projects are known for coming on-time and on-budget, and for the best value.

6'1, about 200lbs when at my leanest (15% or so body fat). 3100 sounds very high to me for your weight unless you're all muscle and very active, but very much in line with the kind of recommendations I'm used to seeing.

But your experience will vary massively depending on how active you are, including how hard you hit the gym.

It's not impossible it's right, but really just count for a few weeks and keep track of your weight, and then adjust up/down up to a few hundred kcal until your weight is changing the way you want it tp.

Unless you're super-lean there's very little reason to add more than 300-400 kcal above maintenance at most (I do less these days) - big bulking cycles take a lot of discipline to break out of. I generally favour slow but steady these days as I'm back into lifting.

Age also factors in - you can expect slower progress the older you get and accordingly you'll need fewer extra calories if you want to avoid adding fat. Conversely, if your testosterone levels and metabolism are at their peak, you might well burn more.

Counting and tracking is really the only thing that will tell you the right numbers for you.
Isn't that already a foregone conclusion since we've found ice there? https://airandspace.si.edu/exhibitions/exploring-the-planets...
I don't understand your #2 (or your whole point). It's exactly the case for exceptions and how exceptions happen. "You won't get an exception if your code is written correctly and the inputs of your program match your programmer expectations" yeah maybe two year down the line someone refactors the code which was resizing the vector before and now you have the most run-of-the-mill exception ; I just hope that someone making an app with your library has a way to catch the panic so that the software doesn't crash but shows a helpful error dialog to your user and makes a backup of its data before softly existing instead, otherwise we're really back at the pre-1980 state of the art of software design
But you've just done that. The answer is that it's obviously not that simple.

What we know is that there has been a large percentage increase in the number of people identifying as queer.

One hypothesis is that this is because there was previously a certain percentage of the population who was queer, but the societal cost for identifying as such was sufficiently high so as to prevent them from doing so. It is therefore the lowering of the societal cost for identifying as such that has allowed this percentage of the population that was always queer to freely identify as such. Your explanation is that that is the only factor and it is as simple as that.

The hypothesis that you're dismissing is that not only has the societal cost for identifying as queer diminished, but that it has actually transitioned well into a net benefit in many communities (i.e. woke Gen Z, and others). Therefore, many of the people identifying as queer are doing so not because they are inherently queer and now free to identify as such, but rather that they are not actually queer, but see social advantages from identifying as such. The claim here is purportedly substantiated by the fact that the largest increase has been in those low stakes identities such as bisexual or demisexual, wherein the person can basically continue to operate normally as a heterosexual while claiming the social advantages of being queer.

Now, as I said, the answer is that this is definitely both. I don't, however, expect you to discuss something like this in good faith, because you seem quite keen on reducing it to your pet conclusion. I'm especially not interested in what I'm anticipating, which are a myriad of claims as to how being queer is still a marked disadvantage. I'm sorry, but within the circles for which we've seen explosive growth in identification, it very much is not.

I think this is more a feature of people flocking to more shallow documentaries, which pushes them up the recommendation funnel.

intriguing. What would be a groundbreaking result in their area? What hypotheses are there in the field, that their observations could provide evidence for or against?
I'd reference the Nikkei 225 circa 1990 [1]. That graph is not inflation adjusted. Up to 1990 everybody thought Japan was well on its way to becoming the world's largest economy on an exponential and unstoppable economic acceleration. And it was unstoppable. Then it stopped.

I am not saying this will be the case, but rather that we're at what is likely the largest inflection point in modern history, and trying to predict where the world will be at in 10 years has become effectively impossible.

Unfortunately, a voice changer does not help with that. Human voice and speech is very complex. Just fiddling with some pitches is not enough to fully disguise all that.
Because there is a contextual difference!
Historical context matters, and saying things like "all lives matter" or "we're all the same (so we should be able to use the same words?)" actually undermine the collective struggle this group of people has had to deal with.
Life isn't binary, it's always more complex than that. It's not rational to just do a "reset" at this point in time and say "oh, i have nothing to do with what my predecessors have engaged in, so i can't be held accountable"... because that's not true, the predecessors lives and actions directly affect ones life.
I understand that sometimes the direct outrage over something small might seem ridiculous, but at the same time I don't understand why people have such a problem with just not using a certain word. It really isn't hard...

And if you go way back in history, homosexuality was totally accepted in places like ancient Greece. It's good that TV series show homosexuality as something normal, because it is. And if it helps to encourage more people to openly come out as either homo- or bi-sexual all the better.

I guess this is the classic attention economy dark pattern: we know that you already know about this title you are looking for, therefore we want you to take a look at these other things first, just to make you stick to the platform for one more title.
You could have a lottery, adjust prices within a regulated range, offer incentives for less desirable lots.

You could reward developers for lots that have long wait lists and lots of interest, incentivizing developers who build places people want to live.

Not trying to start a language war, just trying to understand why people prefer Rust over Swift ARC.

The best external reasoning I could find is this

https://medium.com/@eonil/choosing-swift-vs-rust-237bcb45d97...

So here are my own guesses:

While Swift looks more polished and much less verbose on the outside, Rust has better 'fundamentals' and community. Swift to Wasm is only an external experiment, not part of core Swift. Pretty much everything outside iOS is only an external experiment, not part of core Swift.

If these issues were fixed, would the Swift ARC compiler be preferable to the explicit Rust semantics, or are there other reason ARC is less favorable than the borrow checker?
As a general rule, outside of the black market you will not find an auction house that touches a looted piece of art with a ten-foot-pole. Looted art is basically unsellable.
I like that they tacked on that it would be on display in Texas for about a year as part of the deal. It kind of, sort of masks that this was probably a sizable financial transaction.
This is basically how they started, as they licensed a lot of content for the platform to begin with. The content providers looked at that juicy monthly revenue and decided they wanted a slice of the action, and now we have Netflix, hbo max, Disney+, Apple TV, Amazon prime and probably a few others I've forgotten. Lots of content, as long as you don't mind subscribing to each one individually!

Did say, and were proven wrong.

But nukes have had plenty of time to do better. Ultimately it looks more like the market in nukes (distinguished from power from nukes) is interested only in building nukes where there is abundant scope for corruption.
Seems plausible since afaik the other constants were in English, so this seems to be a developer's joke.
Not every use of unwrap is a bug. For example a regex library returns Result on regex construction because the passed regex could be invalid. But if you construct the regex yourself, from a hard coded string, you know it is correct. Then you just use unwrap and it is ok.
How do you have any idea what's socially determined (a more neutral phrasing than "contagious") and what's not? It's not as if anyone's doing randomised controlled trials of RuPauls Drag Race exposure and gender self-identification.

I don't care why people do anything and I'm generally happy to let them do it, but come on. We have no idea what causes any given person's sexuality or identity to develop in the way it does. The most you can do is point to some correlations. Definitive statements like that are overconfident.
It's been a popular thing for a while, to build your own C64 (or other retro computer, like Apple 1) from "scratch".

My own one has the additional "challenge" of using as few original commodore parts as possible.
I've now successfully replaced the actual MOS6510 cpu with a non-mos 6502 with the help of an adapter board that implements the logic required for the additional IO pins and tri-state capability of the 6510.

The remaining challenges are the CIA chips and the VIC2, when these are done, it's built entirely from non commodore off-the-shelf parts.

I'm not entirely done enough with the project for there to be a project page, but here are some of the pictures I've taken during the build. http://dusted.dk/pages/c64/MaxFake64/allpics/

Oh hell no. Too bad, was considering it until this.
> What if something strips the header between the client and your server?

Then that something would would equally likely intercept your initial HTTP request and serve you a TLS stripped version of the website.

The real solution to this problem is for browsers to never implicitly make plaintext HTTP requests via the address bar. In general, they have become too clever in intepreting the content of the address bar. Firefox, for example, will gladly change the name and try a variety of protocols of the sort-of-address I'm requesting if it doesn't get a response to its initial request. I don't know if it's the case still, but it even used to blindly append ".com" to the name you entered in some cases, going so far as request an entirely different domain.

I don't know what name will be resolved or what protocol will be used, and it may depend on network conditions (for example, Firefox will add "www." to the URL if the server happens to be down the moment I request it).

This makes the address bar unpredictable, unreliable and unsafe. It is beyond me why it has been made such a complex problem. I guess it's more forgiving? I am wary of software that so readily trades security for convenience.
Ask HN: What are your frequently use Mac shortcuts?
I recently came across the post where I learnt about moving the windows in the mac using Cmd + ctrl + click. I wonder how many such unknown shortcuts are there that make life easier.
Do you think this is about being unable to learn, or just that you lack incentive? 15 years ago, I presume you weren't getting "multiple 6 figures".
/s is just a wink, you still have to figure out whether the person did really fart and if so how they concealed it. You’re just here farting and calling it higher smelling because you think you’re the only one smelling it.
Yes! And thank you for approaching this with a thoughtful question.

One solution to this would be to guarantee a unit in any multi family or apartment building to the current resident, and pay for their relocation while the new unit is being built.

Alternatively, buy units from people who are leaving or who have passed away.

We do need to knock down some houses to build more housing, but we can do it in a way that is minimally disruptive.

What you say is absolutely correct.

While you have governments that can legally steal everything from you just because they can, you'll never really be free.

That said, there are degrees of freedom.

Property taxes in the US are very high so I consider it an inferior degree of freedom compared to owning a house in a country where I don't have property taxes.
The more corporation / income tax I have to pay the less free I am, hence why I'll move to a country which charge less corporation / income tax.

Sure, I'm still owned by the government because they have soldiers and guns and I have none - but at least I can live my life as close as possible to how I'd like to live it.

It is possible to fix this situation once and for all: abolish the government and its idea of legitimacy, let people organise their own defence from the goons of other countries by paying voluntarily.

You won't end up with a much different system, you'll still have some people not paying anything and some people paying more to defend their community - but at least I would pay voluntarily what's needed for my defence without enriching the politicians, fake intermediaries with empty promises, and it wouldn't be coerced out of me under threat of fines and imprisonment.
My point exactly. These are risks inherent in buying/owning this financial instrument. Thus, procuring it is not without risk.

You might get your money back. But that money might be worth shit due to inflation. It might be impossible to sell the bond due to a shortage of liquidity, etc, etc.

It's naive and basically wrong to characterise a bond as zero risk just because there is an (almost) zero percent chance you won't get your money back on maturity. This is merely _one_ risk.

And then marvel in wonder of legal problems you are in, because you did not knew this or that.
It depends a lot on the teachers imho, the difference is chalk and cheese, I did my degrees before the internet. I had some math teachers that in hind sight weren't very good, I found this out many years later watching Gilbert Strang teaching linear algebra amongst others. In CS though I was lucky enough to have a couple of lecturers that wrote the books on the subject, the depth of knowledge they had was huge (as you'd expect). To be a crotchety old man - you youngsters have it so easy now :-) - you can watch the experts in any field teach it, even ask them a question, the stuff of dreams. So I think because of this the value of a masters coursework is a lot less than it was, at least in CS.
I love housing co-ops as well. If we ended up in a system like that, I'd be thrilled.
There has been effort to be able to use Swift for the backend but it’s not taking off. I like the language for sure. Maybe people prefer to go all in performance by taking Rust?
Sequence diagrams are extremely effective to document complex workflows. I’ve seen to many developers recreate sequence diagrams badly with boxes, arrows and numbers (to represent order) where proper sequence diagrams would have been a better fit.

I also use database diagrams a lot to specify complex data models. It helps to see the model and it’s relations.

I am windows user since windows 95. But it has slowly become a mess since it's peak at Windows 2000. I am currently testing macos. I bought a Mac mini. First thing I learned is that my existing monitor just won't work perfectly cause it is not retina and second there is not easy way to click windows in place!! So now I need to buy very expensive monitor or just get an imac and install a 3rd party app to manage windows. Hmm. I will still do these things. The rest of experience has been good.
Police raids are usually enough to dissuade most people. That might be the reason why they were ignored.
I haven't been on that exact situation, but close. It has happened to me when I was hired to do X (as an specialist) and that changed substantially when the project got binned after 4 months and was asked to change language and stack. I wasn't as proficient as I would have liked and wasn't really excited about it.

I don't know if this applies to you, so please remember this is an stranger on the Internet sharing an experience and not advice.

In my case if is just a project, I get on with it because when is done I can move to something more exciting or inspiring and that's my motivation to move forward. If it is just what I can expect of that role from that point on, I look for a change (move to a different team perhaps, or just change jobs).

It also helps me if I can do something different at home, in my free time. It has to be challenging and exciting, because otherwise the negative mood from work can take over and nothing will happen (and may make things worse; e.g. guilt for not working on that personal project).
