As someone in his early 40s, who plunged back into dating during covid after divorce, I guess I might be able to give a perspective from the other side, as it were? Or at least offer a few disconnected observations.

1) My dating age range was set to 30 to 45. After going on a couple of dates with 30 year olds (and bearing in mind that I was last dating in my early 30s), I switched to 36 to 45 because My Word, when did 30 year olds get so _young_? This is a long-winded way of saying that older men only wanting younger women is by no means a universal.

2) Some men really want children, and some really don't, but most will go along with whatever happens, and be happy if it does. Most of my male friends with children validate this: they are happy to have children, but admit it happened because it was what their partners wanted. This is a long-winded way of suggesting that when it comes to evaluating potential partners, the buckets should be "definitely doesn't want children" (so, not for you) and "everyone else". You don't need to only sample from the "definitely wants children soon" bucket. That bucket is tiny.

3) Being indelicate, after 30 people age very differently. Aging well makes you a catch :).
$15k is not worth it for any piece of clothing, at this price point you're just signaling.
I watched that happen from the inside during the "dotcom" bust,

Not a startup, but we'd grown to be a public billion dollar revenue organization when we were acquired by a much larger company (not using names here, as I'm sure there are folks on HN who were also there and would remember this and I don't want to doxx myself).

We were very profitable and had an excellent company culture, with almost everyone pulling in the same direction. It was one of the best jobs I've ever had. Until the acquisition.

After acquisition, as significant portion of our services were essentially given away to customers buying hardware from the acquirer, and our revenue plummeted.

New top management then proceeded to destroy the company culture in an attempt (a guess) to bring it more in line with the acquiring company's culture.

It was a disaster, and after a half dozen rounds of layoffs and 3-5 years, the division (that was the original company) was sold off for ~5% of the original purchase price.

I'm sure there are situations that make an acquired company better, but that wasn't the case here. And more's the pity.
Sometimes the business logic just sucks and you have to deal with it.

For logged in stuff in particular, it's easier IMO to fork entire pages/components completely instead of trying to make things handle both cases. You can always come back and refactor if it turns out the splitting was unnecessary, but it's really hard to go the other way.

I used "picky" in another reply and I apologize since this is obviously a sensitive subject and you're right that it's not the most generous word choice.

That said, I think you do need to find a balance. Using your CTO example: if you only interview a single person, you're certainly not selective enough. But if you spend over a year and interview 100+ qualified candidates and still haven't found a mutual fit, then yeah maybe you're being too selective, or just not realistic about how you stack up against the competition.

There's a saying in hiring that you might have heard that says "hire for strength, not lack of weakness". That might apply well in your case too as a way to kind of mentally smooth over accepting someone that maybe doesn't meet all your standards. Like maybe they're well below your physical attractiveness standards or not well spoken, but they're incredibly kind or funny or interesting to talk to.

If you're pursuing a guy that you would have also been interested in when you were 28 and in your physical prime, well, that probably means you've got a lot of competition that will be tough to overcome. Perhaps a weird way to think about it, but it's better if there's something faintly eww about him from your 28 year old self's perspective, that you're now willing to look past.

Anyway, I really wish you luck. You seem like a great person and it's a shame that simply by the mistake of waiting a bit too long in the biological game, you're in a tough spot. While men have their own set of challenges, we don't have to deal with a deadline on figuring these things out.
Could this be down to the fact that police need reasons to stop cars in the US? In Australia they set up random stops and alcohol/drug test every driver without needing any suspicion. There is also no chance for racial bias since everyone gets tested.

While in the US they have to come up with a billion bullshit reasons to stop someone which mostly impacts poor people in bad cars.
It is indeed interesting.
The breaking to avoid collisions is both standard on a lot of cars, and not part of the FSD Beta.

Additionally, even though the FSD Beta is able to more accurately detect objects in a wide view that isn't borne into safety yet for a few reasons:

- the driving behavior is inconsistent and often will still ignore things that it detects because the hardcoded and ML models don't know what to do

- Tesla don't have the strongest sensor coverage. In fact, for higher end cars, they actually lag behind most competitors by having quite significant blind spots right in front of the hood and lack (depending on the model) rear and forward facing radars, therefore having vision blind spots that radar could see around by bouncing.

I say this as a 2020 Model Y owner, the FSD is way further behind than what you describe.

You'd be surprised how much conversation you can hear from 30 feet straight up.

I'd worry someone can tap the line the way you used to be able to clip a butt set to a junction box surrounded obscured by a tree planted by the neighborhood association and listen in on the wine moms discussing who they're cheating with this week.

(To be clear, that's something you do a few times as a minor, then hopefully learn your lesson that knowing too much is not fun and it's better to avoid abusing your access at all costs if you value your sanity)
> That's completely different to whether the source to an application is available and whether you can distribute modified versions of that source.

That’s fair. My point was that the obligations of open source developers/maintainers do not begin and end with the explicit terms of the license, which is true. There are laws (and norms, though you don’t seem to acknowledge those as legitimate) that publishers of software are obligated to comply with.
so they just hope company suffer
Have you tried profiling the app? What is taking so long to initialize? You could try creating an empty Spring Boot application to see what the lower bound is. One thing I've found with with DI is that precompiled solutions like Dagger are way faster than something like Spring's DI.
client ecosystem is definitely a sore point now. I've just sort of started working on a replacement for libmemcached to hopefully cut down on the complexity... but then that's a migration and nobody wants to do that.

Pinterest should drop me a line if they're interested in sponsoring work though :)
This I think is the reality of it all. There's a subtle hint of extortion in their work. A tone of "oh, you need to lay off thousands of workers because your business isn't doing as well as it sounds? That's a shame. That sounds a lot like securities fraud to me. We have the commissioner's daughter on our payroll, so if you let us advise on the layoffs, maybe you can avoid charges."
As someone currently building GPT-* applications for fun and profit it has dawned on me. Essentially it's an ethics problem, and an unsolved one. I already feel really uncomfortable asking peurile questions of any LLM I experiment with, but at the same time, that's just my human projections of what the LLM "feels". As it has limited memory, and further, doesn't update its nodes in response to my queries, there's not a high likelihood that it has feelings. But once it does...
I get your perspective, but… I saw tons of guys in “research“, “fellowship“, and “architect“ positions who were achieving nothing useful for years at a time.
Does this project still exist somewhere other than Google Code? It seems everything on the website 404s.

Isn't it a bigger problem that employers rescind accepted offers? Why don't we find a way to prevent that first?
I've always suspected that the primary reason so many small businesses shut down during recessions (or large businesses lay off huge amounts of staff) doesn't actually have anything to do with cashflow but instead the fact that management can save face by blaming the economy at large.
But I can't tell if "03 Jan 01" is "yy mm dd" or "dd mm yy"
>Police are protected more than medical professionals.

If that was the case, then why isn't there 250x the public outrage when a medical professional makes an error that kills someone, since they kill 250x more than police do each year[0]?

And I'm not muddying the waters, so I don't appreciate the accusation of bad faith. I think the professions are comparable in nature, but there's a huge discrepancy in how they're treated, despite a massive body count difference.

So explain it properly.
Still not that much of a head-scratcher.

Look at the sentiment in the comments here. Nobody can believe that the airlines will give out $10k. There must be some catch or some loophole they’ll use to avoid paying the $10k.

Airline isn’t stupid and knows this so they have a method for near instant payment.
The "undesirables" comment is a little harsh. You're taking about people who are foolish enough to trust that doctors have their best interests at heart, and get addicted.

Did they ever fix the problems with Dependabot and forks of repos using it? That's what turned us off from using it.
It depends on the dynamic range you are working with and they type of operation. Dynamic range is critical with addition and subtraction but usually not important with multiplication and division (where only maximum exponent ranges are of concern).

For example, 1.0 + 1.616e-35 = 1.0 (exact) with double precision as the dynamic range is far too high to encode the sum within the ~16 decimal digits available. The second term just gets rounded out.

1.0 / 1.616e-35 however can be successfully encoded and you will not lose much precision, at most a rounding error in the last digit.

So, to answer your question double precision is usually sufficient even at Planck scale as long as you are not also adding/subtracting terms at much larger scales (like the 1 meter example above)
But this is about ranking code based on how central it is, for the purposes of choosing what to translate to TypeScript first. It’s not a compromise, it’s the correct approach. How often a line of code is executed is not relevant for this purpose.
Haha, it means you're making the rest of the team look bad.

When you join a group, you need to do as they do, but a little better. If you start doing 2x the work or touching existing code and changing it to make it 'better', what you're doing is making other people hate your guts :)
> "What can be more important than life partner?"

My favourite TED talk pairing is Dan Gilbert's Surprising Science of Happiness[1], where he offers evidence upon evidence that we humans grow to like what we are stuck with and can't change. A year after winning the lottery and a year after losing the use of their legs, lottery winners and paraplegics report being equally happy with their lives, one of his studies shows, for example. And Barry Schwartz's Paradox of Choice talk[2] where he argues that the more choice we have, the less happy we will be after we made the choice, full of doubt whether we could or should have chosen better, questioning if we should choose again, and seeing any flaw in the choice as a reason to blame ourselves for choosing it.

In the USA there's over two million marriages every year[3], that seems a lot for people making the most important decision of their lives, to me.

> "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."

(I think that's different from common usage; a 'picky eater' is not someone looking for rich food or hot food, it's someone with a narrowband filter on what foods they will eat. By contrast, there's a joke about the shopkeeper who gets a bag of potatoes, splits them into two different containers, and marks one container "selected potatoes" with a higher price. 'Selective' means you selected, even people whose criteria is 'the first person I see' are selecting!)

> More accurately, this shows a FSD beta tester deliberately allowing his vehicle to head into oncoming traffic.

It does not seem deliberate to me, from watching the video. While stopped at an intersection, the Tesla:

- displays it's turning left but signals right
- then displays left and signals left
- starts moving, and suddenly. displays right and signals right, making a right turn

That right turn was onto the one way street, and the driver sounds (understandably) surprised as soon as he realizes he's facing oncoming traffic.
You can get watering timers in home depot, you could try hacking one of those? The hard piece to get is probably the electronic valve.
> I don’t know which business school teaches people to say “ah can you smell that fresh mountain air” while they have their hands wrapped tightly around your neck …

It’s all of them and the higher you get into management the more apparent it is. They sell a system of meritocracy where those who work the hardest get the rewards. Then you get into management and working side by side with people whose first job out of college was as a VP, who explain to you how they are forcing the newly hired manager to fire someone at random to “make sure they have a backbone”

Software engineers have been tricked into thinking they are part of the in club because they are paid well enough to have the lifestyle that the middle class had between ww2 and the 80s, but we are being systematically stripped of the value we bring.

If this wasn’t true then we wouldn’t be able to point towards recent events like jobs setting up a hiring cartel to depress our wages
Curious, which section did you mean by endorsements section?

We just released a new website so it's likely we missed out on something.
Perhaps I should have said idealistic. I mean I've seen several people make demands like they're somehow already in a courtroom with Microsoft. No mention made of the fact that this is likely covered under fair use. If it isn't, then basically every deep neural net trained on a web dataset is in violation. This means open works like from University at Heidelberg (Latent Diffusion, VQGAN) or EleutherAI (GPT-J) would be impossible.

Like, maybe you could all get together and learn how machine learning works and train your own clean model? That feels far more positive and in the spirit of progress to me. I guess from my point of view it's clear - no laws will save you from the next wave of large language models. The weights are trivially distributed meaning once it's trained it's more just a fact of life we all have to deal with. So making demands when you have basically zero leverage rather than admitting defeat and working within the new constraints of progress.

I just feel like it's an inherently philosophical position and people are acting like code theft hasn't been common practice for the history of all software.
How do you decide which guess to prune? Likely almost every guess would have a conflict, so if the space of possibly changes would be combinatorially large.
but I like this, everyone fighting enough for human/science will be recorded and remember as long as we can
My proposition is that in Europe, if you're making tier 3 salaries, your life is actually shit. You're working for American companies with shitty work life balances, "we're making the world a better place" hellholes that layoff hundreds of people whenever there's a chance.

Working full remote for a nice European company with proper work life balance and tier 2 salaries is way better.
May the march of open source continue on so that in becomes even more easy to make enjoyable and interesting experiences as a one person show!
The story fills in all the reasons why ‘management’ start at #1.

Company A buys company B for a product it believes in. Company A knows that company B was incapable of getting product to finish line, which is why they sold out. No problem though, company A has done this before…

The managers at company A are assigned to ship product, just like they have before. Managers can’t say “its all good, we’ll give them a couple more devs and leave them to it.” they were told to manage, changes will be expected, planning must happen.

The C level of company A just spent a bunch of money on company B. The product needs to hit positive revenue in 9 months, without positive revenue in 12 months the company will be out of cash. So management are told in no uncertain terms that they have to ship in 6 months.

The contracted developers sign on to a 6 month fixed timeframe and know there will be design tweaks by the new management.

At every stage everyone is doing their job. Everyone is trying to do the right thing for success and to not get fired. Everyone has a problem that can only be fixed by someone at a different level compromising on their quality of work or their personal happiness.

I’m not excusing bad management or execs who looking for a rapid cash-out. Trying to illustrate how a good company can hit the same pattern.
Mandatory 10pm phone calls too.
While on the topic of Saito consensus and energy consumption, as far as I understand is far more energy efficient than both PoW and PoS without having to sacrifice security (or anything else) in the process.
It’s very interesting how effective double precision is for doing physical calculations. Higher precisions exist but almost all of the time the answer is not to use them, but to scale your equations differently.
That's one of my big complaints with terraform, and it's state-based system. It doesn't inform you if there are resources you don't know about.
Have you ever started a business before?

Yes, you technically no longer own it once sold, but there's a huge amount of blood, sweat and tears that goes into building something from nothing - not to mention a sense of loyalty to your staff - and you genuinely do want to see it go into good hands and become managed well.

I guess a somewhat leaky analogy would be like giving away a dog you raised to another family and finding out later that they're abusing it. Yes, it's no longer your dog, but you're still going to care deeply about its wellbeing.
i don't know if you can see it, but a sister comment here that has been flagged states:

Makes sense.

Since she had no father, I suggest the Mr.Right must be somebody not only husband but also the father, irrespective of his age, i.e.must be the image of father the little girl has - the smartest man on the earth, the strongest man on the earth, etc etc....

i can vouch for this 100%.
growing up with a single parent of the same gender does make you subconsciously look for that missing parent. and a part of the challenge is that you don't even know what you should be looking for, so you look for something that you imagine, but you most often end up with someone who is like the other parent that you do know.
This kind of 'helpful' advice creates resentment: it's like shoving your favorite vegan dish to a steak lover who came specifically to eat a good steak.
Yes, this is kind of a pointless post since it doesn't answer the question in the title. Instead, they just show that the "default" number of digits is enough.
It doesn't really. There is plenty of old code at google, he was just saying it to people who were too scared of doing work they might need to throw away.

Do you think that police are held to lower or higher standards than medical professionals?
I somewhat agree. For me the pain point is that confluence randomly loses the connection with the editor.

As far as confluence, or just about every web tool I've used that has text areas (slack, etc) - I really wish that would be handled over to the browser.
Reminds me of my ex, who had a commitment phobia. While we gelled well and had no major conflicts of interest, she decided to hitch her luck to something else while waiting for "Mr. Perfect".
Last time I met her, she's still unmarried, and now with eating disorder and her self-esteem driven to new lows. She's single, almost bitter, and while in a stable boring job with good remuneration, is still unhappy about the pace of events. It might be just because of the commitment issues. You need to leap into the unknown and drive out the fear of failure.
This just reinforces my belief that native Martians would never be able to visit Earth again.

That's not a reason to use a small, independent platform with a capricious project leader, though[0]. That's just an argument to use neither.

As a man not much younger than you, it's helpful to hear that's a turn-off. What to ask when is tricky. I see several options:

1. Estimate the odds of successfully procreating upfront; Downside: Can seem boorish and unromantic and ruin the chance of a potentially successful relationship.

2. Keep getting to know each other and discuss once we're more comfortable with each other. If the answer is unfavorable:
a. Be honest about the reason for ending the relationship; Downside: Cruel to one's partner and heartbreaking
b. Fabricate an excuse for ending things; Downside: Dishonest and unfair to partner; guilt and heartbreak
c. Stay anyway; Downside: Reduces likelihood of having children

All this to say, I worry that your gut reaction may be filtering out the men most serious about having children. If someone knows you as a multi-dimensional being beyond a dating prospect first the approach changes. So I'd add this as a reason meet people through others means.

Of course, you're doing that now. This has gotten so much attention that it I'd give you one-third odds of being married in 18 months to either someone who saw this thread or someone someone who sees this thread introduces you to.

This is the dilemma with so many things. In trying to figure out a generic way of solving the problem, you take an approach that works fabulously for you but is difficult to scale. A bit like the education problem...
