Thanks for sharing your article ! Looking forward to reading it!

And thank you even more for taking the time to share your advice with me. Your time is precious and the fact you’d take time for me who you don’t even know means a lot.

So….

With regards to your first point, I am definitely a weirdo and proud of it! One of my favorite teachers says, “weird is wonderful !” Who else but a bonafide weirdo would post such ah intimate post about their dating life and deepest hopes and fears for children and marriage in such a public setting as Hacker News. Oddly enough, despite being a proud weirdo, I find almost every guy I go out with wants to see me again. So that’s cool, and I appreciate that! I think it’s partly because I’m grounded and kind, and partly because I’m pretty, rarely because I feel truly seen and appreciated for being the delightful weirdo I am.

With regards to your second point, I can’t tell you how much I loathe the word, “picky” which I find to be used so much when in comes to dating and by so many people in this thread. Can’t we at least say “selective”? The word picky makes me think of someone picking their nose not picking a partner.

I think that what people are actually implying when they say “picky” is that I’m materialistic , that I’m looking for a rich guy, for a hot guy, etcetera.

While at times, like most human beings, I am sure I dismissed someone wonderful for the wrong reasons and really missed out, overall I do not believe this to be the case.

I’m looking for a kind man, for an honest man, for a loyal man, for a man I’m physically attracted to, yes, but I think that can also grow with time.

I think that I’ve fallen in love with many a man I didn’t like immediately and so I find myself gravitating more towards advice of friends first then be less selective on such an important decision than life partner.

Would anyone say that someone is being too selective on choosing their CTO ? What can be more important than life partner ?

That is why I said "wherever possible". If your team is going to quit their jobs (I doubt it) because they will only deal with a web based issue tracking, then sure, go for GitHub.

The point I am trying to make here is - by default people spend their money with mega corps, because of brand awareness, convenience etc. Instead, it would be nice if the default is indie/small businesses.

In other words instead of "the mega corps aren't working for me, let me look for smaller/indie options instead", it would be nice if we all did "smaller indie options don't fit my requirements, let me go with Microsoft/Apple/etc instead".

Maybe this is too idealistic?
I occasionally try to come back to DarkTable, RawTherapee etc, but similarly for my requirements they feel like overkill, and require much more time than I have to properly understand the underlying theories.

For a simpler interface that gets me (a naive user) half-way decent results pretty quickly, I'll drop back to LightZone. Whole bunch of ready-made presets that combine primitives (sharpness, contrast, saturation, curves etc), and easy to save new presets once you find a combination you like.
I see your logic, but it seems fundamentally unsound to consider settling down for life with a cheater. And if I daresay, immoral as well.
Debt is backed by something. Currency is debt to its issuer, and it used to be backed by gold. Fiat currency is debt, but it's not backed by anything.

Gold and bitcoin aren't debt, they're assets. You could issue bank notes backed by gold or bitcoin.
> IMO comparing vaccination to women's bodily autonomy is a bad faith argument.

That seems a somewhat inflammatory lead, but as far as I can tell you haven't explained or argued for it. It is obvious that the people who want to criminalise abortion believe it is about protecting society; if it were their babies they wouldn't need to criminalise it.

So far the only hard evidence about the COVID vaccines is that they offer excellent individual protection. It appears that the community protection just involves reducing the rate of spread rather than the reach, and since we're dealing with an exponential process it potentially has little practical effect. We ran a natural experiment in Australia that suggested there was no community protection effect. The spread of COVID through the community was basically instantaneous when lockdowns lifted in December [0].

HN is maintained at least in part to promote YC startups and the reputation of YC itself. The monetization is indirect. (Maybe some posts are sponsored? I would be mildly surprised.)

This suggests the incentives for YC are more aligned to users’ goals than, say, Reddit.
I’d be cautious of taking dating advice from this site, as it’s dominated by young men and can sometimes lean in the red pill direction. (Though I am pleased to see that most of the top rated comments in this thread appear fairly mature.)

Have you tried asking Metafilter? I’ve often found that the community there gives good relationship and dating advice. The site leans older, more liberal arts, and more gender balanced.
(Author here.) Yes, I ignored that concept in the model. I referred to that as "transfer learning" in the post.
Thank you so much for the great book recommendations !

I don’t think I’m being too picky. I’d wont share the reasons I didn’t go out again with 90% of these guys but it would horrify you and violate my privacy and theirs. I always cross-check with a trusted friend on whatever my reason is.

And I’ve logged them all so I can go back and learn and grow from my past experiences
> No. Guys don't care about that, period. It is a sexed trait. Women find high value in men's work. Men do not.

Then how come I'm a guy and I love the fact that my wife has an advanced degree and an important career?

Your thinking is in binaries and generalizations. OP is looking for something specific and cast in shades of gray. I don't think your advice will help her.

I agree that it's a numbers game, but I think that applying the logic you suggest will put OP in the wrong group, and she won't find what she says she wants.
Another reasonable choice for some components would be to have a purely C api; everything extern "C", and only PODs (plain old datastructures) in the arguments.
For anyone searching for more examples of similarly trivial higher-order equations, x^n-1=0 is a classic. X=1 is trivially a solution for any space with a reasonable definition of 1, and in the complex numbers you have the "roots of unity" if you'd care for a short (or long) mathematical rabbit-hole. Higher-order equations don't necessarily have solutions over radicals, but some of them demonstrably do.
The speed of technological advancement isn't nearly as important as short term quarterly gains.
I do have something like that but it mostly triggers every frame anyway due to so many things being updated.

With that said, do you know any libraries like that?
About once a year I try DT but always bounce off of it pretty hard for one very simple reason: my Canon raw images in DT don't look anything like what they do in-camera.

I did a studio shoot on Monday: clean strobe light, a tame white background, all settings manual (so no auto-lighting-optimizer), and fired up my raws in 4.0 on my calibrated monitor.

I loaded the roll into Light Table and things look fine (because, I suspect, that the CR3 file has an embedded JPEG with Canon's recipe cooked in).

Then I double clicked to bring it into Darkroom and it goes crazy: the backdrop goes a crazy purple hue, the exposure is wrong by about a third of a stop, and the skin is zombified.

It's utterly incomprehensible to me. Every year I check and every year I'm baffled at how dreadful it is. Cya next year I guess.
The GP will not change at all. Most GP’s are basically glorified pill sales people, matching symptoms to pills or specialists, and optimising for the number of patients they see per hour. Not long term health outcomes of their patients. The most revolutionary change would actually be the recognition of your diet as one of the most important things to get right when it comes to your long term health. But most GP doesn’t get any training in Nutrition and the training they do get is usually wrong. Things are slowly improving but it will take a long time and it has nothing to do with tech.
Same but my archive goes back to 1988, including some I carried over from Fidonet.
Experienced customers training new-to-the-process participants is a surprisingly common aspect of bureaucratic processes. The peer participants or management are the other possible sources of training, but those stakeholders are not as incentivized to train the new member.

Not clear to me how it’s supposed to immunize Copilot from copyright claims, though I can see how it’ll justify its training process.

There is a vague supposition widely believed that NN weights do no longer contain training data, and thus the trainee holds full copyright, but that won’t stand when the NN returns excerpts from said training data. Then it just becomes an unattributed copy, and should be subject to takedowns.
Yeah exactly, I would typically have a directory with all the dependencies that I downloaded one by one and use that as part of the classpath, whereas now I do mvn clean install --download-the-internet
Lower your standards dramatically, like most men do.

But at some point, you need to accept some responsibility for why you don't have kids. A woman can literally go and attempt a pregnancy on any given day of the week.

Note that having kids is not the same as finding a man who wants to start a family with a 41-year old woman. That's just the reality of it.
> Feel free to make them responsible for cost and resources and you’ll be surprised how well they can manage their own account.

Wow, this is horrible. I understand responsability but this is too much. Are other employees responsible if the company loses money for their actions?

I'm not sure that we'll be moving forward if we're not willing to answer to the fact that our indulgence in free services is putting our freedoms in jeopardy. What use is it if you jump ship from GitHub to another service which is letting investors foot your bill? It'll just be the same story in a few years. SourceHut is designed for long-term sustainability and an ethical operating model.

If you feel differently, perhaps Codeberg is for you instead? SFC recommends them as well and I am just as happy to see projects move there as I am to see them on SourceHut -- we're a paying (but non-voting) member of Codeberg ourselves. Diversity is healthy for the ecosystem, but the proprietary platforms ought to be expelled.
Dear Manisha,

> By most cultural standards, according to my male friends, I’m smart, beautiful, fit, kind, emotionally mature and doing meaningful work in the world. Not too needy and not a workaholic.

If you're smart, beautiful, fit, kind, emotionally mature, and purposeful yet your male friends would rather stay friends with you instead of taking that extra mile of dating you and building a future with you, your problems don't end there.

True love does not exist. It is just invented by the government and the illuminati.

Sincerely,
Josh
Miners can not rewrite the blockchain. They only get to choose which transactions go in and which are rejected or delayed. Each transaction must be signed by the wallet owner so miners can not just assign money to themselves.
> If you want the same results from every run ...

That's not how "bureaucracies" seem to actually function in the real world though, regardless of the theory. ;)
Using pullstate in production for a number of apps now; seconding this recommendation. Almost all of the complexity / mental overhead / boilerplate mentioned in this thread mostly goes away with pullstate.

> A very rich, multi-trillion dollar asshole-ish corporation, that feels lonely on it's birthday and goes on a bender buying less rich and asshole-ish companies to successively kill them, to calm it's mood.

Not sure how true that is, but something tells me it might just be the reality.
This is a minor point, but I'm cantonese and aware it can be written. (This is why I linked to a tool to segment written cantonese :).
Because I'm irritated by paying for dynamic DNS that actually works, I run the following script once an hour via cron(1):

ip=`curl --silent ipinfo.io/ip`
ssh -i <CREDENTIALS> <MY-CLOUD-HOST> "echo $ip > lastlog"

Then anytime I need to know where home is:

ssh MY-CLOUD-HOST -C cat lastlog

[ EDIT: having posted this, i realized you could do the same thing just using whoami(1) on MY-CLOUD-HOST and avoid ipinfo.ip entirely ]
Friends of mine have happily married woman they met online. So it seems to work just fine. At least in some cases.
> people won't do that, righteous as it may be

On the contrary, it means only people that really want to be on Sourcehut will do so.

Which is probably for the best, certainly while it’s still in an alpha state.

Slow and steady wins the race.
Business people will tell you “the log” is nothing more than accounting journal entries that is the life blood of enterprises everywhere. You have a chain of donut shops that transmit their sales and expenses nightly to the corporate HQ? That is the log. The log is the system of record. “State” is an ephemeral representation of the log.
Though [re-reading parent] if we are specifically concerned with contributions that were accepted by a non-malicious upstream under good faith and then turned out to be malicious, then that is something else.
That doesn't tell us how important this project is. I am not a Go dev, all I can see is it's some template-rendering lib, 500 stars on GitHub, 3 contributors on opencollective.

The discussion on this thread is great but I am not sure that this project is that significant.
That market was way overheated. The correction both in tech proper and in crypto doesn’t surprise me. I’m only surprised that it hasn’t happened earlier.
>We are legally obligated to publish the source code running on our servers

This is not a guarantee until it is challenged in court or audited by some trusted auditor.

>This take also seems especially outlandish considering that the context is comparing SourceHut to GitHub, which is very clearly more proprietary even in this awkward sense.

No disagreement there.
Heck, I login daily (my Yahoo Mail is my "this online shop needs an email address" address) and a few years ago I checked, it's lost my emails before the year 2000. (Yeah I got the address when Yahoo started offering them, because I thought it'd be cool to have an @yahoo.com address...). Of course back then I actually had real emails, from high school friends and family members, which are all gone now. Great job your team is doing!
Just skipping right over gen x?
Back to the article we go:

> The crew was looking for eight volunteers to give up their seats on the "apparently oversold" flight, offering them $10,000 each.

I have emphasized the use of “up to” in the previous sentence.
Well, it had 515 magic GitHub popularity points before the move, if that matters to you. There's no notoriety condition on HN -- it's newsworthy if HN voters decide it is. I figured you'd know better than to drag out the old "why is this on the front page" standard.
It also seems like it’s atypical to offer $10K. Maybe the whole thing is an atypical situation and we should trust the article vs. our well-honed software engineer intuition?
Landfill mining. Send droids into landfills to find stuff to resell. Easy side would be obvious items like coins, lost jewelry, etc. Intermediate would be collectibles. Moonshot would be difficult recyclables: lithium batteries, gold- or silver-bearing circuit boards, etc.
> I love Swift’s syntax. So much of the repetitive boilerplate code that was necessary for C++ melted away in Swift, leaving only code necessary to represent the logic, making the meaning clearer.

To be honest, swift feels more like a bad parody on Scala.
“The Internationalists” and making war illegal
So a vscode thingie uploads a newer binary to an older host, tries to run it there, and fails? Because the people who built said binary did not care to make it backwards compatible (or better yet, statically linked)?

... Duh?

(I’m not an expert in VSCode DRM, to put it mildly, so I might be misinterpreting this discussion, but that’s what it looks like to me. Also, isn’t it referencing GLIBCXX i.e. libstdc++, which not even a part of Glibc?)
I think it’s exactly the opposite as you describe. The React API has been incredibly stable and consistent for years now.

I still find the insinuation quite ridiculous, to be entirely honest.

I would argue, that depends on the user.
Standard but not robust. In fact it can silently fail.
Any good reason(s) why SourceHut and not Gitlab?

SourceHut is missing a lot of features from GitHub, I'm not even sure if SourceHut has a file tree. It's interface is also much different than GitHub's.

Meanwhile GitLab is almost an exact clone of GitHub. It has discussion boards, pull requests ("merge requests"), even CI which replaces GitHub actions.

I figure SourceHut is more FOSS-friendly than GitLab. But GitLab still supports self-hosting, and AFAIK is open-source and FOSS-freindly itself. The KDE and GNOME project even have their own hosted GitLab versions. All-in-all I just think migrating from GitHub to GitLab seems much easier than migrating to SourceHut.

Never trust the zestimate. This is something I would constantly tell my wife, when she would look up our own house on Zillow.

If the logic you are checking is tedious then using a different tool won’t necessarily help you. You still have to explain all the tedious details to that tool. Perhaps making your own abstractions in Python might work better. If you have a lot of “this bit needs to match that bit in this register” then add a function that takes just the bit/register numbers and automatically does the rest. Then you have in a sense created your own DSL within Python. Learning a new complex tool like Z3 will most likely take longer than just doing it in Python. However it might be fun to learn Z3 of course.
A very quick glance at benchmarks seems to show these older machines are on par with some core i3 stuff.

It's cheap for a reason. For a few hundred more I'm sure there's a used Surface or something with better specs and insanely less power.

If you actually have a job that needs lots of CPU power, you can afford better, if you don't, you can probably get by with any cheap laptop.
Everything seems simple once you're an expert at it. Experts are often the worst at teaching it for that reason.
Mix of two things, I think. Gen X is a smaller demographic, and often overlooked/forgotten, and I've observed an apparent tendency to apply "boomer" to include what is actually Gen X, when in fact the Baby Boomers are often parents to Gen Xers.

Time dilation, recency bias, and all that. Anything that happened before you were born is all history, right?
What I mean is 'yes that's a weird interaction' but, if that's how the AWS service works (however weird) then it's an aws-nuke bug that the ordering isn't correct (to account for that weirdness)?

Though 'not at all documented' makes that harder of course. I haven't used it.
Understood, but why is that relevant to my comment?
I was pondering this for quite a while, and overall I'm struggling to see why would it be more than "nice to have". Minor performance gains that very few companies would actually need? That's pretty meh. Chats and SSE and reactive stuff? Even with async, django doesn't fit those applications well. Other than getting on with the cool kids, why do you feel that async support in Django is particularly important?
As someone who stumbled into a long term relationship with an immigrant of a very different race and culture this is probably the last thing I would recommend to an middle-aged person, especially one wanting to have kids. I know that might be hard to believe if you've looked at my profile/post history but I used to be very liberal and believed in the whole "race doesn't matter" thing. The enormous amount of propaganda and taboo around this means you're left figuring out what it means more or less on your own, this took me years. If there's any place where race (and culture) matters it's when you're deciding who to have a kid with.

Also USCIS is an absolute fucking nightmare. Imagine the worst caricature you've seen of a bureaucracy, this will top it. It's a bureaucracy with an effectively impossible mission and almost no accountability (at least on the end you'll be caring about.) Every time you interact with them there's a decent chance something goes wrong (maybe it's their fault, they're extremely incompetent, maybe it's your fault, the rules are very complex, maybe you just get unlucky) and you're left with the choice of staying illegaly or leaving the country quickly.
For a fee, yes. It's usually not cheap. Even "good" ISPs like Google Fiber basically make you upgrade to a "business" account , then buy static IP addressing as an add-on. It can end up costing twice as much as your regular residential service.

With IPv4 it has always made far more sense for hobbyists to just use a dynamic DNS service, of which there are many free options. Some registrars like Namecheap even offer it when you buy a domain. IPv6 obviously complicates the hell out of this and I haven't really seen a solution as easy as for your average hobbyist.
Not all of them do: after learning about that possibility here, I got myself an IPv4 subnet from AT&T fiber for no extra cost except the subnet itself
Wow, I've been saying that for a long time. I took algebra, calculus, and probability and statistics back in high school/ college. Guess which one I've used since then, and which two I have not used (with the exception of helping my children with their algebra homework).
That's unfortunate. It's pretty difficult to run your own email server plus deal with the blacklisting. I see your points, but I also see a possibility to support both email and ActivityPub mediums. A lot of people want a dedicated interface, hence you having to make a web portal. I don't see why the web portal couldn't support ForgeFed in addition to email.

Being able to bridge standalone gitea instances users with repos on your service would be a good step forward for federation.
Why do you need private addresses?
> There is also a larger class of languages I call "safe-ish" as they are generally safe for single-threaded programs but can exhibit undefined behavior from data races; this includes Swift and Go, and likely other newer languages inspired by those.

Go does have a garbage collector though, so maybe the conflating of GC with safety (not by you, but earlier in thy thread) is a bit misleading.
