> You are exposed to people that you'd NEVER meet in the more traditional sense.

I’ve never used a dating app, but I’m curious about this. My assumption has been that people filter pretty heavily on politics and religion, which are less advertised in person. Meeting people at a party or through social activities seemed to moderate people’s views long term because an initial attraction could lead to encounters with really different sorts of personalities and backgrounds and counter reinforcement of naive views of the world.

For instance, more couples used to realize their votes cancelled out, so they would make a deal to just stay home and have sex instead of heading the the polls.
> Will EFS be updated to use the NFS-TLS RFC once it settles down some?

I can't commit on a public forum for obvious reasons but we'll definitely take a serious look at this, especially when the Linux client starts supporting this. We did consult with the authors of that draft RFC earlier and it should be relatively easy for us to adopt this.
This is such an ignorant and factually wrong comment.
Then Strunk and White isn't a good initial reference as they are pretty dogmatic in their many rules. White referred to "the remembered sting of [Strunk's] kindly lash", and likened the rules to a sergeant "snapping orders to his platoon." How are readers supposed to understand those orders aren't real?

I don't understand the relevance of "academic writing" as 1) Strunk and White is widely recommended to authors in general, 2) 10+ million copies sold aren't mostly going to academia, and 3) examples from the book show a bias against what Wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_writing characterizes as "academic writing".

Eg, "The Elements of Style" really does not like the noncommittal academic writing style of the following (quoting from https://archive.org/details/elementsofstylew00stru/page/14/m... ):

> The Taming of the Shrew is rather weak in spots. Shakespeare does not portray Katharine as a very admirable character, nor doe Bianca remain long in memory as an important character in Shakespear's works.

and instead prefers:

> The women in The Taming of the Shrew are unattractive. Katharine is disagreeable, Bianca insignificant.
Yeah, back then unattractive men couldn’t even form a community.
Weird guy.
So are you saying it isn't TV that has ruined your sex life, it's podcasts?
I use VMs to serve Plex and the software I run around Plex to make it fun and useful. I have a few NUCs that run ESXi, and in turn, my aforementioned VMs. The last time I rebuilt the box, I was considering going back to bare metal for Plex (at least), but the ability to treat the VM as effectively ephemeral but also backed up in case something happened is very useful. It is also theoretically portable if I got a second one and externalized it. I also like to think that virtualizing the machines lets me better carve the otherwise-overpowered host machine and allow it to decide how best to use it's resources, but I haven't actually sat and verified that is what happens.

I use a VM on my work machine to get around Docker Desktop licensing on macOS. I also use VMs on my work and personal machines to test out new-to-me OSes that I want to play with but don't necessarily want to run full time. And once upon a time, I used VMs heavily to write and test Chef cookbooks, but those days are mostly over for me.
If you don't mind me asking, what are some things you like that you feel make it worth being with this person? (since you mentioned past baggage and having to 'let her win every argument' - that doesn't sound too nice)
It's often mentioned about AWS, especially when us-east-1 fails. The others are not big enough to affect basically "the internet" when they go down, so don't get pointed out as centralisation issues as much.

And yeah, cf is trying to get as much traffic to go through them as possible and add edge services for more opportunities - that's literally their business. Also now r2 with object storage. They're already too big, harmful (as in actually putting people in danger) and untouchable in some ways.
How we made data aggregation on PostgreSQL better and faster

I do not know if it enters the definition but it's my first step for trying "dangerous" stuff, like debugging a macOS kernel extension, or installing an exotic OS.

And of course for learning. For example you can learn a lot about operating systems if you can just run any older version at your will.

Also, you are obviously speaking of virtualization of a given hardware platform but a lot of stuff is modeled as a "virtual machine" in the generalized sense - e.g. the pickle Python format.
Nah. Even assuming it's true, I'd still be motivated by the mystery of who wrote it and why he gave it to me.
My understanding is that average women get a lot more matches and messages, but start about the same number of conversations. The filtering step just happens later
> More than one in five Bitcoin nodes are running an old version of the Bitcoin core client that is known to be vulnerable.

Patching software that is remotely accessible is a pretty basic security measure. I suppose the risk of a hacked node is fairly low, maybe about the same as a node that's run by a malicious owner. Although exploiting nodes would extend the reach if a malicious party.
Excellent point. I don't know, maybe there was no clear-cut "best" in that case. Refreshing my memory about that formats war by reading Wikipedia, it wasn't obvious Betamax was "better" (it didn't check many of the boxes consumers wanted, like cheaper, longer running time, faster; instead, it checked boxes video professionals wanted, so it can be argued Beta was not "the best" for consumers!).

That said, in this case Ive seems to be arguing even in cases where the "best" can be identified and has a known meaning, it won't make the cut. By definition of "best", this means something "worse" will be chosen instead. Seems like a flawed process to me!

PS: if you ask me, I think Ive wasn't careful with his words, and instead he meant "even extremely good products sometimes don't make the cut, because they are competing with something even better here at Apple". But he said "best", an unfortunate word which made his statement... wrong. Someone so careful about design should also be careful about words, because words are also design.
Uhm, the lower birthrates in developed countries is because of better access to birth control, and because it's hard to raise a gaggle of kids when both parents work full-time.
Not to state the obvious, but... if a big centralized company built a Cloudflare for IPFS to make it easy for the masses to adopt, that company could go down just as easy as Cloudflare.
Unpopular opinion: CSS is hard only because HTML is bad at what it does. It wouldn't be feasible, or even desirable, to replace HTML with something else at this point, but it's a classic case of "the problem it tries to solve is not very hard, and it doesn't solve that problem very well".
People, have you _used_ enterprise software? Jira is the first piece of enterprise software I've ever used that I _don't_ hate! Well, if Bugzilla counts, then I don't hate that either.

But in the past I've been exposed to BMC's products, which were, at least when I was exposed to them 10 years, horrible. And going further back, Lotus Notes, which even in the early aughts wasn't up to basic standards of UI from the 1980s.

Could Jira be better? Sure. But I think a lot of the complaints about Jira might only be relevant to the way their instance of Jira happens to be set up. Setting up a proper workflow that meets the demands of the organization is not an easy thing to do.

Now, I've never administered Jira, and maybe that's not good, but as someone who's used it for about 10 years, I'm fine with it.

> Women tend to date up

What if the 53% of men swiping right ("accept") are attempting to date "up"

I think there may be some hidden assumptions you should investigate, there.
This sounds nice, but the devil is in the details.

My child applied to a school that had a similar policy that students would only graduate with $15k in student loans.

Tuition was $40k back when kid applied. We filled out financial aid package with my income of like $150k and no assets outside of retirement savings.

We got a letter with “congrats total amount each year is $47k including room and board, work study is $1500, grant is $1500, expected parental contribution is $44k/year. You don’t need student loans.”

It was really frustrating. So the wording on what financial contributions should be, like in this article, has lots of wiggle room. It seems Dartmouth is covering tuition for families making $65k or less. But a single year’s tuition is $60k, so good luck to families making $70k.

I think these legacy universities don’t want to lower tuition because they still admit lots of rich people who just pay. But the middle class is really squeezed out. Of course the lower class is squeezed as well since it’s hard to get accepted if parents can’t afford tutors, coaches, etc.

I think you've already drunk the Flavor Aid.

What do you have when you have all DNS going through them, via DoH, and all web requests going through them, if not recentralization?

Sure, they want us to think they give us the freedom to host our web sites anywhere because they're "protected" by them, but that "protection" means we've agreed to recentralize.

It's pretty dismissive to describe something as a meme just because you don't understand it, and either you're pretending to not understand it, or you truly don't.

Look at it this way: If a single company goes down for an hour, and that company going down for an hour causes half the web traffic on the Internet to fail for that hour, what is that if not recentralization?
> Obviously, everyone prefers the real thing to porn.

That makes intuitive sense, but is far from the reality. Many men, even in otherwise healthy relationships, prefer porn.

Again I really wish more data was collected on this but anecdotally I've seen hundreds on online discussions from both women who are concerned about their partner and declining sex life and from men who want to quit using porn to better service the needs of their partner.

Porn addiction is real, serious, and more common than you may think.
In the 80s AIDS was the gay disease. Also people live longer than a decade.
I too am disappointed as it feels like were just bolting on Intel baggage to appease commercial interests who could care less about openness or maintainability.

On one hand I want RISC-V to have a firmware standard for their applications processors so we don't have the vendor specific situation we have with Arm. On the other, I do not want Microsoft approved, overly complex Intel contraptions making a mess of an open architecture.
Look, if you can solve the latency on voice chat or video chat, you are a hell of a lot further on making virtual experiences feel more intimate than any VR headset.

We've been meeting up online since 2020 due to the pandemic. We all know the problems with online meetups, and it has nothing to do with the nonexistence of VRChat (which obviously exists)

Awkward pauses and slower conversations and a far less intimate feel occurs due to this latency. It's enough to hold a work meeting since most people talk one by one, but not good for say... an online prayer service where coordinating everyone's timing to the Our Father or Hail Mary prayers is completely impossible.

You literally can't sing or pray together online. It's a very dull experience.
At least for the "top 5% of men" thing, it's an oft-repeated meme on this forum.

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

In fact, it gets repeated so frequently in threads/topics like this one, that I wonder if the true origin of this "statistic" is in fact some of the... more interesting corners of Reddit/4chan.
We know that now because it's true now. In the late 80s it was a very big deal and an almost certain death sentence. We had no treatment options for years.
Automated text/email reminders for volunteers
This is a simple volunteer management system that does one thing really well: send automated text/email reminders to volunteers when they are scheduled to work. We stripped away the features that create friction and kept only the essentials in order to make the software as intuitive as possible.
To be sure, it's a ridiculous way to align a community today.

I am willing to approach a woman I find attractive if the situation is appropriate. Unfortunately, most situations you come across attractive women are rarely appropriate. You end up having to go to events and things you don’t normally do just to gain exposure to women. It is a miserable reason to participate in these things when your only interest is in the women, not the event or hobby. And often the things you really want to do are of little interest to attractive women.
The key difference is negative externalities. If 3D printing and Scuttlebutt were associated with scams and crime, people in HN would Cann it useless too.
In an area near where I used to live, there was a similar post, except it was a black man at the door. People started tracking his whereabouts, some even sounding a bit threatening. He was arrested twice that day, and released both times because there was no crime, but released to where? Not home, clearly. And not to family.

It turns out he was mentally impaired and lost. Some hours later, someone who works with such people recognized the situation and started working on finding him to help him (literally posted that someone should help him before someone else harms him). She did find him, and got him where he needed to be.

It seems like it wasn't that long ago that neighbors would actually talk to each other. That seems to have almost completely disappeared. We don't really know who is in our communities anymore, and so everyone is suspicious about everyone around them. And it's even scarier in states like mine, Texas, where there's such a strong push for lethal intimidation (open carry and all that).
This is a very nice write up.
the guys from servicestack went through this process (i am in no way affiliated wit them), they got some backlash from a move to licensed model iirc, but also, it allowed them to be sustainable and grow into a company that allowd them to continue supporting the products.

perhaps something the same? a cheap/free model for open source projects / schools etc , free for single devs or small shops, and paid for $Corps... yeah, you'll lose a few users from companies who only want something for free, but then, what have you lost, really? If people dont value their own time, thats their choice to make the $ vs Benefit calculation.

good luck
Currently, I'm not using them that much. However, I use containers intensively for some workloads like services on my UnRaid server or for development.

It was a bit of a thing as people in Europe started their office work, and found out a lot of their internet services were down, and they were unable to access the things they needed. It's rather dangerous that we all depend on this one service being online.

It's not that bleak, only until humans are extinct.
That's a little like tracing computers back to ENIAC, sure it's the same concept and can do some of the same things but there are worlds of difference between it and a personal computer.
You need to put more nuance on what a "willing partner" means, as it's incredibly important. Many stories I hear regarding "willing partner left aside for porn" boil down to a passive person expecting their partner to just pick up on clues while having a history of being denied and making zero effort to overcome it. Or worse, a passive, submissive person expecting men to just push their way through any resistance and keep trying, when men are actively taught to respect a woman's boundaries.

For many of these "porn addiction" cases, there's more going on than just "he is addicted to porn and now he won't have sex with me". Communication is a two-way street and women are a little eager to play the 'passive princess who can do no wrong' without realizing most of society is training men to avoid making assumptions.
Am I the only one who can't understand how Cassandra could foresee the future - but somehow failed to see that Apollo is about to curse her?!

The Herbivore’s Dilemma (2009)
I worked in an academic library where the scale was on the order of hundreds of users per day, but many of those users were faculty/researchers spread out across the globe who got very grumpy when whatever online archive/exhibit was not available.

I migrated our services from a very “pet” oriented architecture to a 4-node Proxmox cluster with Docker Swarm deploying containers across four VMs and it worked great. Services we brought up on this infra still to this date have 100% uptime, through updates and server reboots and other events that formerly would have taken sites offline temporarily.

I looked at k8s briefly and it seemed like total overkill. I probably would have spent weeks or months learning k8s for no appreciable advantage over swarm.
> The statement always takes the form: there are no use cases that aren’t better solved by (some centralized company).

2 things:

1. No it doesn’t.

2. Nobody cares.

“Centralised” isn’t a problem. If it causes problems you need to demonstrate that and then show how blockchain solves that problem and how existing solutions can’t. I’ve seen no examples of that (Uniswap isn’t an example).

I generally find that when I look into it the 'crazy, communist, californians' are doing stuff that even right-wing parties in Europe take for granted as being a basic part of modern civilization, because its what the relevant experts in the field recommend, so I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for California to collapse into anarchy.

This is just a slightly less fanciful trope than the "being nice to gays causes hurricanes" thing. You can tell its not actually believed for similar reasons.

If being nice to gay people actually caused hurricanes there's all sorts of useful information we could glean from that and use to make the world better, to fix droughts for example.

But the meteorologists weren't the one that noticed this surprising link, were they? It was the people who don't like gay people who spotted it.

Similarly, if there was actual useful information about how progressive policy X was bad for progressive goal Z, then people would want to know that information and use it. But weirdly, it's the non-progressives who have all these reasons why progressive stuff is bad for progressives.

So you're left in a climate change denial type situation where you need to believe that the whole of academia and government around the world is in cahoots to cover up the truth for unclear reasons.

"They're killing all the birds to make expensive unreliable energy and climate change isn't even real!" Well the bird experts, economists, climate and energy folk all think you're wrong but don't let that stop you.
I recently bought a Quest for fitness as well, and while I was a bit unsure, I'm fairly convinced. (For reference, I lift weights about 4 times a week. I play basketball once a week or so, but don't do much other cardio, which is the hole that I was looking to fill.)

It's worth asking what your goal is though. If it's only to burn calories, what matters is a mix of intensity and how long you do the activity. Walking for two hours burns more calories than running for 10 minutes. So through that lens, a game that has you moving only a bit, but that you will play for an hour, is a pretty good idea.

If you don't have that much time, or your goal is more health-focused in that you want to get your heart rate up, there are definitely games that make that happen. A boxing game is considered the gold standard, but there are other games that definitely make me sweat.

All in all, it's an activity I enjoy doing, and that I can do every day without leaving the house, which for my specific situation is exactly what I needed.
I have and love that bag as well. Laptop sleeve included.

Like the OP here, I have another small bag that fits inside the Farpoint when not in use. It's a REI 18(I think?) liter bag - really lightweight, big enough to carry the laptop and day use items while leaving the big bag in the hotel room, or optionally keeping handy on the plane with food or something.

Ultimately, the clothing really dwarfs everything else. This is much easier to pull off if you have a casual style (like the OP) and don't mind having, essentially, a "uniform" where you can just throw on any old bottom and top and go.

The world has never been more prosperous, safer, and more able to address the issues of its day, ever. Wars have been a near constant factor of human history for nearly all written history, and yet today we enjoy more peace as a species than any other era. In the past few decades we've seen extreme poverty decline dramatically. And we've never had so many viable options for decarbonization.

When your parents had you, the world was decisively a worse place. Especially if you were born prior to 1989. Why wouldn't you want to bring a child into the objectively best times of human existence to date?
