Italian fiscal codes are usually mishandled in a similar way: rare unfortunate citizens have the same computed code as each other (close name and surname, same sex, same birth day and same birth place), the government issues them special numeric codes, but clever websites insist on computing the code from personal information and rejecting numerical codes.
> I can watch nearly every show and movie that was ever created

I think this is an illusion. When I check some films with awards (let's say "do the right thing", not a blockbuster but a well-known film) I cannot find them in any streaming service (maybe criterion collection). I can definitely think of tons of tv shows I cannot find on dvd, let alone on streaming platforms. Not even on torrent networks.

This idea that the internet has everything is fine for some topics (like programming), but I believe it does not apply to some contents, and films are one of them.

EDIT: grammar
It's literally not a problem that the government can solve, because the government classifies people to whom it provides food as 'food insecure'. If the government provided unlimited credit for all those people to spend on food, they would still be classified 'food insecure.'

that russia may try to militarily annex eastern ukraine was rather obvious for many years. Ukraine sits between NATO and russia. A majority of its population had been in favor of joining the former. The eastern ukraine holds large reserves of natural resources and pro-russian separatists. The later are used as a casus belli for an ethno-nationalist anschluss. Lastly it is not like the 2014 war truly ever ended: there had been 410.000 cease fire violation in 2017 alone, for example.
According to USPS, every ZIP code has a "recommended" or primary city name. This is typically the city of the post office that serves the zone. USPS address validation tools will always replace the city name on an address with the recommended city name for that ZIP code.

However, USPS also maintains in their addressing database a list of "recognized" or secondary city names for a ZIP code. For ZIP codes that span multiple towns this list can be fairly long. As far as USPS is concerned these city names are not "recommended" but nonetheless interchangeable, so you can e.g. write the name of your town on mail to the nearby town containing the post office. It's also common for the "recognized" list to include special cases like "Campus" if there's a university or sometimes names of large corporate facilities.

This is all just to solidify the point that, as far as USPS is concerned, ZIP codes are the organizational unit on which mail is routed and town names are only for human convenience. Ultimately this convention extends to each house since the 11-digit ZIP+4+DP (included in the IMB barcode) should uniquely identify a physical location at which mail is delivered.

It was the original plan to change the blocksize all along.

Satoshi said in 2009: "The existing Visa credit card network processes about 15 million Internet purchases per day worldwide. Bitcoin can already scale much larger than that with existing hardware for a fraction of the cost. It never really hits a scale ceiling. If you're interested, I can go over the ways it would cope with extreme size."

Some latecoming BTC core devs cancelled that plan, with zero justification, changed the consensus mechanism for the chain from hashpower to fiat declaration by fraudulent centralised exchange running a pump and dump scam with fake money, and sabotaged the entire project in the process into complete uselessness, and to this day we're stuck with people who believe a fundamental financial revolution is going to take place on a chain that was forced to 4tx/second and get very angry, confused or surprised when you point out that such a change is clear and obvious sabotage.

If you're claiming otherwise, then I'm done here and I wish you the best of luck.
The bleach one slightly reduces front loaded friction (ie. don't need to learn it) at the expense of being less legible, harder to print cleanly, less robust to fading and uglier. The others don't even really have the first benefit.

Which is exactly in line with 'good' ui design in software. So goal achieved, I guess.
For people with enough free time and no kids this might be the case, but I think once sex happens less than once a week it does become a quantity/intimacy problem in couples.

I agree, the idea that we should focus on numbers isn't necessarily good. What I care about more is people are having sex and are enjoying it with their partners. Having lots of sex is great, but blindly jabbing holes with a penis doesn't mean anything spectacular or have any existential meaning. Are people have consensual sex in ways that they want and enjoy with the people they enjoy it with? Is it with the same person over and over or with a different partner every week? Does it matter?

"""
The Screen and the Job have displaced almost everything else is our lives. Loneliness is just a primary symptom.

The Screen, whether it’s TV, computer, or phone, has supplanted almost all social interactions. This manifests itself in things like SitComs on TV (just a bunch of friends or family hanging out) or Social Media on phones. It’s very easy to fill the social needs of right now with a Screen. But under even a minuscule amount of self reflection these are revealed as hollow substitutes for real human interaction.

The Job has completely taken over as a driving force in evaluating choices. The average person has to consider all options in the light of both the current employer and the specter of tomorrow’s. Moving across the country for a high paying job? Great! Moving to be closer to friends? That’s a career killer.

No wonder we are lonely. We make choices in the short term that optimize happiness, often at the expense of our relationships. Ghosting is not just for dates now. Then turn around and make choices in the long term that optimize employability at the expense of all else.

The pro college crowd has a tool the anti-college crowd doesn't: They understand that the masses respond emotionally rather than rationally. If there is to be meaningful change in society, we need to make people feel embarrassed for attending college.
> It's also boring

I don't think I've ever heard sex described as "boring"?!

Maybe you just need to change things up a bit?
Yeah, that's been one of my most wished-for features throughout the years. There is an extension providing some limited support for this, but it's far from what would be usable for any project where I have that need. Just too limited in what it supports. I need complicated queries, aggregates, etc.
I (along with many others) have been saying it for a while; there just isn't the same infrastructure for physical community as their once was. The church, the mall, the rotary club... these were bumping hot beds of socialisation.

I'm the last person to denigrate the importance of online communities, most of my closest friends don't live in my city. There is, however, a very real and important role for communities tied to your geography.

For one, the "self-sorting" effect is less exaggerated in IRL communities. Sharing a space with people, not because you are similar, but because you live near by and perhaps share the same interests, anchors you to your physical reality. Now, that comes with hardy cons as well as pros (especially if you are like to be discriminated against), but the cons of aggressively self-sorting online are pernicious as well.

If this resonates with you, I have a humble suggestion. If you can mentally/physically afford it, join _any_ IRL community. Volunteering is a good way to do this, organised sports, join a amateur radio club, go to a hackerspace meet-up. If you're in NA and most places in the EU, COVID restrictions might make this more possible than you think.
I think a lot of companies don't realize the whole "Acknowledging our problems in public" thing CF got going for it is a positive. Lots of companies don't want to publish public post-mortems as they think it'll make them look weak rather than showing that they care about transparency in the face of failures/downtimes.
I sincerely hope that this does not happen, but it's a matter of shaping the culture appropriately. We explain our motivations for not having one and re-enforce that through the community and hope that this prevents people from building or adopting third-party package managers. Should the situation arise regardless, I will make some attempt to address it by defining upstream standards and perhaps blessing an implementation, but I hope very much that we won't have to.

I will also point out that Hare's approach is similar to C, and no attempts to make a C package manager have caught on. It's also helped by the fact that Hare does not support proprietary operating systems IMO.
Sorry, that doesn't answer my question at all.
line weights are too thick.

Way too thick, overlapping and thats why probably impossible to print on most textile labal printers. I also find most of the labels looking the same - similar to when Google redesigned their icons and not everyone liked it.

I think it's basically right. Go to college, see the outline of what people have figured out, and what they think you need to know. Also what the dead ends are eg broken window fallacy.

That's about it, though. You actually can learn all those things yourself, you just have to be pretty disciplined about following some sort of course or text, including the weird things that you have quite figured out are reasonably big.

You also won't actually know anything other than the outline once you're done. They throw so much at you and it seems detailed while you're studying, but you need to actually work with a field for a while to really understand it. You'll have the index though, and that's pretty useful for future reference.
I'm actually building a product to solve this. If anyone is interested in beta testing, we should be rolling this out in 2~3 weeks. Shoot me an email:

What a premise. I am not buying it.

To those struggling with online dating: stop and get out in the real world. It's easier, trust me. Don't believe the people who are trying to tell you otherwise. Not only you don't need these apps, they are likely the reason you're not getting much sex.

Recently, I tried watching How I met your father. Felt like an ad for a certain online dating service. It was absolutely horrible in every conceivable way. Don't surrender to those people.
> I am happily married but have zero friends

Are you sure this is entirely the modern lifestyle's fault? When I look deeply into my past I realize I messed up high school and college a bit socially (for various reasons) and that's the time most people acquire their best friends. I have 1-2 good friends but I'm pretty sure it's on me its not more than that.

Perhaps you went through something similar?

The real annoying thing is making friends after mid 30s is very difficult. I am very choosy about who I want to meet because I'm a parent and my time is valuable and I put up with less bullshit than when I was young. Alas, all "older" folk are like me - so we barely try to create friendships.

Not having kids doesn't mean they aren't having sex. It isn't only a "very specific subset" of any circle.
I find that people who do that kind of thing just don't get it. Things have changed. It's a much more high-stakes world for young adults than it was when they were that age. It's very easy for middle class kids to now end up poorer than their parents, which was much rarer for the boomers and early gen x. Give your kid every advantage you can.
Exactly mix the plausible deniability with discovery processes and you get to the point where people couldn’t do the right thing even if they wanted to as they don’t know about it.
Will have to "agree to disagree" on your conclusion here.

GNOME 4 is superior to Windows and MacOS as low-friction, high-level OS in my experience. Control panel is clear, if spartan, three finger gestures stolen from MacOS "just work", and the desktop just stays out of the way so I can focus on the applications that I really care about.

I have not had a "struggle with drivers" for over a decade with Ubuntu, Fedora, and Manjaro (YMMV in other distros of course, but it's much more uniform these days), and Windows has become even worse with doing unnecessary BS work in the background slowing down the GUI such that heavyweight desktops like GNOME and KDE feel as svelte as LXDE in comparison.

I honestly can't stand any time I have to use a Windows machine due to how inconsistent the settings are, how many ~200-300ms pauses happen randomly, especially when I'm trying to type, and applications that don't "just work" but only because of the high marketshare I can google a solution. (MacOS is less viscerally disgusting to me, but more disappointing due to all of the "small" bugs that have creeped in despite having 100% control of the hardware in question. Wake-from-sleep shouldn't screw up the Wifi, unplugging and plugging back in an external monitor shouldn't shuffle the window locations, etc.)
> Is gay sex going out of fashion too?

No. Many men are turning to gay sex because they can’t get any women. Lots of guys are “bi” but it’s like 10% gay 90% straight attraction. Getting a guy is 100x easier than a woman so even though they’re mostly straight, they become gay in practice. I expect that 50% of all sex will be between men within the next few decades.

On my bare-metal server I use VMs to isolate certain network concerns like my mail server and my VPN (WireGuard) server. Regarding WireGuard, this was necessary because the host (Debian Buster) does not (or rather: did not) support it. Furthermore, I do not want to allow the host OS (and the services running in Docker) access to my internal networks.

My VMs are managed using libvirt/virt-manager (over SSH).
>You list men as the reason why people have less sex, but unless women is having a lot of more sex with other women to compensate the numbers,

Fewer men are sleeping with more women.
So very wrong. Bleach is pH 12 or so.

(Chlorine) bleach mixed with ammonia (which is a base) or any acid, including vinegar, will release the chemical weapon chlorine gas.
Oh definitely, anti-cheat/multiplayer games still benefit from it.

I've been toying with the idea of setting this up again -- I still have the highly-tuned XML definition for libvirt. I just ran out of PCI-e slots and I'm down to one beefy GPU -- having a lower power one for the host head is nice.

I actually had some success bypassing some anti-VM anticheats -- particularly, ESEA.

Valorant was the only one I 'gave up' on, the usual approaches didn't work and having not played it, wasn't really worth the investment.

Depending on how your applications are coded/configured, a CDN should not be required for 50 concurrent users unless your site attracts targeted DDoS attacks. For what it's worth most VPS providers have options to front-end your site with a load balancer and/or simple DDoS protection.

Do you have a specific use case that requires a CDN? spambots brute forcing your forms?
Thanks, I guess the only way to know is to run my own benchmarks. Perhaps they have their own partitioning code which allows for faster performance.
Anytime you’re interested in seeing how things change over time, that’s time series. It’s a very big category of use cases.

Maybe it’s because all these dating apps emphasize short term or hookup relationships. Aka little to zero substance outcomes that will keep you coming back (and hopefully paying!).

A lot of people want to have actual relationships, but those types of people are rare on dating sites. IMO you meet those people by going out and doing activities. If you happen to meet someone there chances are it will go better than being number x match on the list of 30 matches this week.

I’m just speaking as a man and as a engineer who worked on a dating app. It is a numbers game and one that most men will not place anywhere close to the top.

And from my anecdotal experience talking to women who worked on the app as well as just friends, they seem to view these apps as entertainment more than anything serious.

Just find a irl hobby and join groups that do those things. It will be slower but if your goal is a meaningful relationship then that’s your best shot imo.

I think the wide spread use of opioids has some to do with it too.(Mouse Utopia) Definitely kills your sex drive.. Low testosterone kills it. Getting old.. Partner not keeping up their physique.. Chronic pain.. Lots to do with it.. I still find the same attributes attractive as I did when I was 18, now being over 40/married/chronic pain/long term opioid use... it has degraded the pool of possibilities and who I would want to with also.. I've got kids.. Grandkids.. I've done my part for my genetic lineage. It's will continue on for generations to come. That's all it was meant to do anyways.. Now I'm just waiting to die. Trying not to suffer too much in the interim.

If I ran a bigger company with more money and more time to vet candidates, I would soften a lot of my filters and try to be more like you. As it is, I need to sort through dozens or hundreds of candidates without it becoming my full-time job, which means some of my filters are going to result in some false negatives (people I won't consider, but should have considered). Unfortunately it's a tradeoff I have to make.

I still won't ever hire someone who worked at Facebook, though...
You build a professional network of people passionate about the same thing you are.

This strongly depends on the college. The more exclusive/prestigious the college, the better the network.
Talking it ain't doing it. That you think that those topics bridge that gap is also indicative of why people aren't fucking.
There are tons of schools that have weak gen-ed requirements, which can often be tested out of either with high school AP's or as a college student with CLEPs. My undergrad was about 3.5 years of rigorous engineering education with roughly a semester of gen-eds spread over it. You should try to research the school and program before attending.
I learned enough in the first two years to start working as far as compsci was concerned. Everything after that was supplemental. Depending on what you are studying and where you are studying, the first two years absolutely aren't bullshit.

Yes, I had to take a bunch of classes that I wasn't interested in, but there's also no way that I would have been able to cram in all the math and compsci that I wanted to into 2 years. Especially as not everything can be learned concurrently. Like I said, I could have started working after the first two years, but I would have never gotten the depth that I did if I had stopped there.
Modern lifestyle includes moving to different cities.
It's funny that the article starts with drawing the line to the "old days". It makes me think the true reason is basically people moving far away eventually - and it's by all means desirable. At the same time many aren't interested in starting a family, divorce rates are high anyway.
