This is actually an incredibly wonderful, very validating and encouraging response.

I’ve been reading a bit about light tailed and heavy tailed systems and I think that this quite reflects the heavy -tailed nature of dating but also the magic and possibility .

I actually had a similar experience with meeting my first boyfriend on bumble and while he ultimately decided he didn’t want to have a child with me, it still makes me believe what you say is try and recognize it.

This does help and Thanks for the encouragement to keep moving forward.

Thank you so so much. And I’m so very happy for you that you found your true love. It’s probably also because you and your wife have big hearts that are ready to give and receive that kind of love. Your loving spirit is certainly reflected here in this generous note to me.
Yes.

Moving to Radicle would completely eliminate the issues the maintainers had.

Moving to another provider seems like they just "hoping" for the best.
SEO? I suspect keeping old pages as-they-were helps with search ranking of the site.
They gotta keep that grift going to try and get out while they still can but not so fast that it collapses faster than it already is.
Either your company has to be prove it’s a ‘big name’ to grow further (for instance your biggest competitor is Google or ebay) and it’s a way to show you’re strong enough to do that kind of thing. It’s the big version of your sales people driving Lexus to their client meetings.

Either you’ve reached a strong position but people have no recognition for it and still see you as some also-ran. It’s a way to throw money at the problem.
Windows 7 was the last tolerable version.
Is it possible to decentralize "I know about package X -> Find Package X online -> Git Clone"?

While keeping the property of very high availability? And making it convenient.

I think the first two steps could be covered by a source search engine that spans different repository providers, and includes self-hosted git instances.

That source search engine will probably be centralized, although if we are just searching names and descriptions (and not code) the engine could be a fairly small .zip file that anyone can install. So comes down to "passing around lists".
Just saw that the Austin project uses an ICON printer, not the COBOD one.

Btw these "layered" walls would be terribly unhealthy to live within due to dust collection over time.

search is not practical in my opinion. i'd go as far as saying it's unusable. i can _find individual messages_, but there are times (often, i might add!) where context or jumping to that message aren't even options. context is often the reason you search for messages in the first place. if i'm alone here, sure, PEBKAC

People should focus on their investigative stuff rather than the clickbait. They'll be less mad in the long run.
So I vaguely recognise the brand, probably because of this sort of thing, but until this moment I had no idea they made tires. If you’d pressed me I’d probably have said beer, though I now realise I’m thinking of Peroni.

So maybe not _terribly_ effective brand advertising, then.

Questions for whoever was involved with this decision or might know:

Why was Sourcehut chosen? Any specific appealing features?

Any alternatives considered?
Visa and Paypal's energy use to secure their transaction records and assets from cyberattack is included in their much smaller energy use though; the fact they do so in a more energy efficient manner doesn't make the comparison unfair.

Bitcoin's energy use contributes no more towards preventing armed antagonists destroying or seizing assets, harming their economic value by destroying the underlying economy or compromising the network by seizing ASIC farms than Visa's. Bitcoiners outsource that bit to governments too.
It's unreasonable to assume that an stdlib must be designed around performance to any capacity. For most software, the priorities for the stdlib are 1) existing, 2) being bug/vulnerability free, and likely, in the Windows case given Microsoft's tradition, 3) being functionally identical to the version they shipped originally. Linux and macOS have much more flexibility to choose a different set of priorities (the former, through ecosystem competition and the latter through a willingness to break applications and a dependence on malloc for objc), so it's not at all a fair comparison. The fact that malloc doesn't return null all the time is a miracle enough for many embedded platforms, for example, so it's not exclusively a Windows concern. Environments emphasizing security in particular might be even slower.

Multiplication is not a great argument... There's a long history of hardware that doesn't have multipliers. Would I complain about that hardware being bad? No, because I'd take a step back and ask what their priorities were and accept that different hardware has different priorities so I should be prepared to not depend on them. Same thing with standard libraries. You can't always assume the default allocator smiles kindly on your application.
SourceHut is designed to facilitate collaboration, of course, but it's done differently from platforms like GitHub and those that seek to emulate it. And of course it is more than a git frontend, providing tools specifically to facilitate collaboration such as mailing lists and bug trackers. SourceHut is an engineering tool, not a social network. It is designed to get your work done and then get out of your way.

GitHub is explicitly designed like a social network, and this is a design that we reject. Counting stars and scrolling through feeds is a distraction from getting work done, not to mention an unhealthy relationship to have with your work. Popularity is not a metric we think that people should be optimizing for, or one that can even be effectively measured.

So our design deliberately skews away from what we think of as "dopamine dispensers" and instead focuses on getting the work done. We make it easy to onboard new collaborators by skipping the account requirement to send patches or file tickets. The UI is simple and accessible for users with any accessibility needs, and free of distractions. Colors are used deliberately to attract your eye to the action items on each page, not to dazzle you with information overload. These are the kinds of motivations which guide the design of the platform.

For the social aspect, we encourage you to branch out. Talk about your project on Hacker News. Maintain a fediverse presence. Put up a marketing page and documentation on SourceHut pages. Cultivate welcoming mailing lists. There are many ways to crack an egg.
I think there is a 10 year "we can have nice things" expiry date on stuff like this. Think Google / Github / Facebook etc.

After 10 years, the thing dies, or grows so big it becomes a corporation, run by suits, hungry for new revenue. There are probably exceptions (HN is one, as it is more of a well kept and groomed "pet" than a business in itself. Meant in a nice way as I love pets).

Death is an interesting one. Reading that Prince's estate is trying to color troll [1], means that regardless of what Prince wanted (not sure what he wanted either way), some other heads with different ethics can take over and do something different from the ethos you thought you were buying into.

Have you considered something like "selector based side effects"? https://github.com/mikew/redux-easy-mode#selector-based-side.... The difference is most side effects are based around when an action is dispatched, but I wanted to know when things _change_.

It's possible to do the same thing with a react component + useEffect, but I thought a pure-redux solution would better fit the spirit of Redux.
Those would have to be some amazing bribes. A full 10% of the ETH supply is locked up in the staking network, and neither the original capital nor earnings can be withdrawn until about six months after mining is eliminated. The dev teams themselves were granted significant amounts of staked ETH by the Ethereum Foundation.

The production staking network was launched in December 2020, was upgraded in mid-2021, and since then there's been extensive public testing of the merge with the rest of the network.

That is a red herring, as what secures the U.S. dollar is much more than individuals eye testing physical currency.

Most mortgages still get packaged and sold in the form of ABS or to Fannie and Freddie. I think you’d end up with an inability to package them unless you could convince the feds and asset managers that they can consistently survive the lifetime of the mortgage.
This mirrors my experience almost exactly - it's like lightning, and hasn't faded even over time.

I'd add it's been especially tough to date during the past two years due to the pandemic. Many high-quality people didn't even bother to be on the apps, so often the inventory wasn't very good, to say the least.

Once you find your needle and get to the other side of this process, it'll feel like you're finally home and you won't even remember all the near endless pain and nonsense you've been through to get there.

p.s. Sorry for chiming in so much in this thread, I'm super passionate about this topic and really feel for @actfrench. Successful dating has a high learning curve these days, to say the least. It's a huge topic, and I hope I've been at least somewhat helpful to you and other HNers.
Chinese are quite aware of cost disparities, and abandon what is not performing. They do tend to overbuild. They have scheduled a great deal of renewables, but those will not be enough to displace everything else for some time.
My day job involves working on an operating system for smartphones, so I may be biased, but that really wasn't obvious to me at first :P
More specifically: polygenic scores work and are additive, while epistasis and dominance are trivial (contra the furious FUDing upthread by someone determinedly ignoring the fact that, no matter how many cute restaurant analogies you use, we have lots of phenome-wide data from UKBB and elsewhere showing additive variance is larger than epistatic variance and dominance is so irrelevant it's hard to distinguish from 0%, not that that's relevant in the first place), because they use SNPs to tag blocks or stretches of the genome which carry the causal variants, the SNPs aren't themselves usually causal. So if you directly edited all of the SNPs with nontrivial posterior probability of the effect you want, you would get much smaller effects than you expect (as much as 90% smaller). But if you operate on the blocks (haplotypes), the SNPs continue to serve their existing role as markers, and you can optimize by selecting for all of the useful blocks and dropping the rest. (This is how IES would work, especially if it could run for many generations/cycles; operating on just the SNP level is only what people who haven't thought about it think it would do.) A lot of problems go away when you are doing selection, preserving all the existing causal relationships (like the extensive positive correlation among health traits which means that you won't get any net 'backfire effects'), instead of causal interventions like editing.
It's a joke, son.
Your numbers are way off. The majority of men end up in long-term relationships with women. So women are obviously considering more than 10% of men.

Most of the chips I've seen in the past decade tend to shut off on a hardware level at ~95-105c to avoid damaging the components, so I'm surprised that this chip would go beyond that point. It's not significant besides the fact it's the average point I'd expect a chip like that to turn off.
There is an inertial mass of engineers still in the USA at the tech hubs, and top leadership at those companies still don't want them to be remote. They rather pay more and have them not remote than to have them remote.

And even if they don't want them in the USA anymore with US compensation, it can take a long time to build up staff and still not have a huge core of them in the US.
Personally speaking, formal dating never worked for me. It was always too much like a job interview, where both parties were looking for reasons to say “no”. The only meaningful relationships I’ve had so far in life were with women I met as friends in school or on one-night stands I didn’t want to end. I think in both cases this was because the fundamental dynamic was looking for reasons to say “yes”. If interviewing for full-time roles hasn’t worked for you, perhaps try a more freelance approach.
Or they're using a filesystem where mtime is always zero, i.e. unsupported.

Which is an actual case that has occured for myself.
That’s astounding. Are there similar figures available for other recent huge builders (e.g. China, both road infrastructure and dams etc)
What a mess. I don’t understand how they didn’t see this coming.
It's not made to have you go buy tires, but to remember them when you're at a tire shop and see them on the shelf.
> a 14.4k modem - that's a theoretical speed of 14,000 kilobits per second

Nope, that'd be a 14 Mbit modem, a relatively high speed for ADSL modems and not something you'd be able to push through those rusty barbed wire fences which make up some of those old PSTN installations. I guess you mean the 14.4k modem has a theoretical speed of 14.400 bits per second.
Why would you be surprised by that? The incentives for any normal company are to minimise energy use; energy is expensive. The incentives for most cryptononsense instead point to wasting as much energy as possible; that is literally how proof of “work” (waste, really) works.
sr.ht is the vision of one extremely stubborn man who loves free software. I wouldn’t host my material there, but if your worry is that he’ll go corporate, you’re probably pretty safe.
Yes, that's what I meant with "going through the moves".

Or let me phrase it another way: Did you notice any remarkable changes when you did these things? Examples could be: Revelations about your relationship with your parents, how you perceive certain situations, understanding your feelings better, gaining a better sense of your body etc. If you know someone who has what you wants, what is that person like? Are you like them or do you behave differently? How has your behavior changed during self-reflection? (No need to answer in public, just to give you an idea of what I mean and what I think are important points during self-reflection.)

My impression is that most self-help approaches teach the same things, but not everyone is equally receptive to each approach. Same with therapists, coaching and groups, sometimes it takes another try to find the one that is right for you. Most stuff seems to focus on the intellectual level, but I think that it is equally important to experience the feelings that come with it (for example with techniques like Focusing).
> I'm a bit confused by this article.

Obviously.

> Co-pilot has issues, ergo github is going the way of sourceforge, and so now we must abandon github? Do I have that reasoning correct?

No, you don't. If you had actually read the whole article[1], you would have noticed that they also listed several other issues which far predate Copilot.

Explain how PoW 'wastes' energy, if it is not sustainable to use high demand energy to mine. Miners who use 'free' or cheap energy, indicating low demand, will always out compete those attempting to use retail energy to fuel mining. Excess and stranded energy are the only sensible, sustainable sources for hashrate based mining. I use 'sustainable' in the context of mining operations, not globally or abstractly.
I vouched for this to bring it back from the dead. This is rather a harsh comment, especially from a new user. I can see why it was flagged, but you probably have some useful information to offer her. Could you try make it into a better comment by explaining what about her scares you, and what she might do to counter this?
> There's far less interactivity [than] on the frontend, less concerns about multithreading, etc

This really depends on a particular project a lot. Sometimes (often?) it's backend that does all the actual work, while frontend is just a glue for the user.

> For some reason I don't understand, video folks have always had much better tools for handling color, dynamic ranges etc,

I suspect this is because photos usually stand on their own. You edit a photo to something that pleases you and that is it.

With video, you have multiple pieces of footage recorded at different times, in different circumstances and locations that need to match in their look to make a video feel like a consistent whole. Getting the color right is much more critical for video.
I suspect it being Chrome only is one of the reasons you receive minimal responses here. At least, for me -- I only have FF installed, so I can't test for you. I imagine a lot of the HN user base is similar, due to FF's target demographic.
To me, freedom certainly is one of those things money can't ultimately buy (I'm talking about 99% of the population, not billionaires), and I'm saddened to see it's been going downhill on both sides of the pond for the last 20 odd years. There are differences, but both are unequivocally evolving towards more authoritarian, controlling regimes. And that's a shame, because everything else (health, education, labor, social, even happiness) suffers from that foundational loss.
Haha that's for sure
The thing that confuses me is that the second example shows a histogram of the user activity which appears to be not a normal distribution. But for pilot dimensions, I would expect the histogram to actually follow a normal distribution. I feel the problem (and answer) of the cockpit design is presented a bit too simplistic here.
France likes their nukes so well they have no plans to replace them as they age out.

Germany is emitting much less CO2 than before they shut down their nukes. They elected to spend what it would have cost, to keep them working, instead on wind turbines. This has yielded much more generation than the refurbished nukes would eventually have offered, but immediately.

Germany is actively building out more renewable generating capacity to displace more carbon emissions, but there is a very large amount of work to be done. Building nukes instead would take much longer and yield much less.
Obviously it's hard to be insightful without knowing you. But having been on that many dates without any relationships would seem to indicate you're good at saying no.

Oftentimes people talk about lowering your standards if you aren't finding a mate. But that's basically impossible advice to take. Nobody thinks their standards are unreasonable or unrealistic.

I wonder if it might help to look for reasons to say yes. Yes to a less promising match, to a second date even if the first wasn't great.

My problem is that I say yes too easily which is a similar problem. And I that vein if you ever find yourself in Houston you should look me up. 39m, who knows? Maybe you'll start the trend of DateHN just like AskHN and ShowHN.
And what system will provide this "ordinary dirt-cheap storage"? It'd be helpful to actually specify what you're proposing.

Furthermore, some energy markets have seen saturation during peak production hours of intermittent sources for years now. But this unspecified dirt-cheap energy storage isn't being built to capture and resell this energy.

This "ordinary dirt-cheap storage" is precisely the fantastic storage system I'm referring to. Plans for a primarily renewable grid assume that some breakthrough is going to happen in order to make storage dirt-cheap.

It would be useful to know what this project is. Lots of projects are on other code hosting services. Is this is a particularly important project? Go has been my daily driver for almost a decade and this is the first I've heard of it.

Breath of the Wild isn’t really anything like all of the previous Zelda games. It takes the formula of Skyrim and reskins it with Zelda characters. If you want to play a Zelda game and get the real experience then Ocarina of Time is a much more typical example of the formula, at least as far as 3D games go.

For 2D games the one to start with is A Link to the Past. It solidified the franchise formula of combat, exploration, and puzzles that started with the first 2 NES games, both of which were experimental games at the time.

You can automatically send these patch e-mails with "git send-email" command. So there's no friction involved. It only works differently.

Do you think it's a problem if tradespeople drive full-size pickup trucks or vans?

I could be wrong, but in my city, I think the majority of people driving pickups are driving work trucks, or they are from outside the city.

The “webdev” kind of person you’re talking about likely doesn’t have the same education as even a relatively unskilled “enterprise Java dev.” I think you’re overselling the complexity of using the tooling at FAANG type companies.
