Very true, my phrasing was a bit of hyperbole in retrospect. But the bugs I end up finding at runtime when writing Rust are usually deeper issues with my own reasoning about the higher-level problem, rather than my reasoning about the inscrutable low-level machinations of a memory allocator or garbage collector.
The memcached story https://github.com/memcached/memcached/wiki/TutorialCachingS... is still an iconic piece of dev writing for me.

I think I see a contradiction here.
Most of the time with the online dates, I felt one out of ten was somewhat attractive, so I’d give them a chance and get interested then the guys immediately lost interest and ghosted me after things got physically intimate. I think they just wanted sex and I wanted to wait to get to know them better.
I wonder why these services don't use a slightly altered payment algorithm, where my individual monthly fee gets split among the artists that I individually listened to?
Have you considered the possibility that someone on the inside works for an intelligence agency (domestic or foreign) and is secretly exfiltrating the data for the purpose of obtaining blackmail material?
That's not obvious at all. People in coal-producing areas voted for Trump for the same reasons that people in wheat-producing areas did: they're rural Republicans who watch a lot of TV and the Democrat candidate never even visited their congressional district. Most of the people in those areas don't actually mine coal, and they knew they would get poorer on average under Trump just as they had gotten poorer on average under Obama, Bush, and Clinton before him. They just appreciated a moment of lip service. We can't vote in USA without pretending at some level that voting matters, so why wouldn't they also pretend that one of the candidates cared about their interests?
I don’t know . I think that’s the problem.
That was solved long ago...

I understand your frustration. You've tried so many things without finding success.

Chances are we can't tell you anything your therapist(s) and dating coach(es) haven't already - they probably have a lot more information about you, and are specialists in the area of relationships.

You mention you've been on over 120 dates - that's a lot of dates! Were there any second dates? Why or why not?
Watch the following

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4FF2XkzGMCg

and try to understand and ask the universe for help.
What has led those 120 potential partners to not work out?

From what you’ve described here, you’re quite the catch. Is it that belief that is leading you to have too high of standards for your mate?
FWIW Bosons are named after a person
polars only has 1D columns, it's columnar just like pandas.

IME xarray and pandas have to be used together. Neither can do what the other does. (Well, some people try to use pandas for stuff that should be numpy or xarray tasks.)
It's tricky - the more you force it, the more likely that you end up with the wrong person, especially when you feel like there's a ticking clock due to wanting to have kids.
Note that, that unfounded accusation of indifference (and the rest of the unfounded accusations) to other's people suffering comes with the additional layer of arrogance of taking as granted that censorship is a valid solution that will not have consequences even worst than the original problem.

It's like putting the most incompetent engineers in charge of architectural decisions in a system design and giving for granted that a service that is scaling fast and adding features to it will deliver 99.9999% uptime.

No.
Personally as a utilitarian, that's a trade off I'm willing to make, as I would guess the latter is much more common than the former.
I found about 1 in ten attractive and then they ghosted me after a few dates
Would you say the same about brand new server processors if click speed was prioritised?
My working theory is that slow behaviors are preferred because else people gets startled.
A well run government subsidized system still has choice and competition. In belgium I can choose what school my kids go to, even though all of them are subsidized to the point of costing very little. I can also choose what hospital to go to, or what doctor to see, and that visit will always be subsidized by the public healthcare system, while doctors still are self-employed and can set their own rates (higher rates means I pay more myself). In both systems there is little administration, because the system works the same way for everyone and is straightforward.
>We have very strict and very well engineered data retention systems. When we say data is deleted, we mean it. Various levels of automation ensure the data is purged, and all data is tracked meticulously for violations across every datastore.

Ok, how would you know that is true?

How many ways can you think of would there be for your statement to be false?

If someone "higher clearance" than you decided to make you believe the above, but actually retain it somewhere in someway you weren't allowed to see. Are the number of ways more than one? How valuable could deleted data be in the case of blackmail or espionage? Can you actually be confident that someone above or before you didn't write a false delete function?

I'm not implying, I'm suggesting that "things we know to be true" is a smaller list than people think.

You suspect WIPEOUT is real, but can't actually know, and you are inside. Why would I believe for even a second?
polars, but it's still developing.
I don't think the brightness changes with the distance. Take any screen (or any object). When you very the distance the color of it doesn't increase or decrease in intensity.
> or they provide conditions very few people can tolerate.

Like intimate cleaning and nursing of old and very sick people under immense time pressure and emotional stress.

Oh, well ... never mind
There are things money can't buy. It's hard to list things without getting too political, which I don't think this is the right forum for, but there are fundamental differences in European politics vs American politics, and no salary, as high as it might be, can change that.
Yes I'm aware [1]. I would not describe these steps as user-friendly.

I definitely talk to the universe a lot but it doesn’t seem to talk back to me very much in this particular category
Keep unmarried. As a married man I can say that marriage and having a kid habe their own quirks and when I look back it was just trading A for B with A not necessarily worse than B.
From my dad: "I was the only one left at LARS @ 3 or 4 in the morning on May 25, 1972 when I displayed the first ERST/LANSAT, but nobody knew where in the US the image was taken, so I went to my car in the parking lot (the gold Pontiac T37) and brought in my road map from my glove compartment and by 5 am I had identified the location of the first ever ERST/LANDSAT image that later was known as the Lake Texoma frame :)"
After several years of using Feedly, I stopped using it right when they started showing ads in the feed. My biggest complaint with their Pro offering was that it was extremely unbalanced for the personal use (it still is).

As a Pro user, I wanted to cut down the amount of noise I was getting in the feed. But that feature was in Pro+ subscription. I wanted to subscribe to a few Twitter searches; again a Pro+ feature. I wanted to get rid of duplicate posts and it was, you guessed it, a Pro+ feature. Meanwhile, the Pro offering was flooded with things that never mattered to me.

In the end, Pro was simply not a good value for me and Pro+ was just too expensive.
I believe we have already reached that point.
Is that 120 first dates?
Sorry you're going through this. That sounds trying.

Was it Alaska that was described as "the odds are good, but the goods are odd" regarding the dating scene and overabundance of men? Maybe a summer in Anchorage is worth a try. You will lose Austin's amazing taco scene, but gain some glaciers :)
Stop being so picky and realize no one (and by extension, everyone) is perfect. No one person is going to fulfill all of your romantic and relationship needs, and that's ok.
Sounds like a filtering issue. Don't waste your time if you don't find them highly attractive.
This is a fantastic utility to have in my back pocket, and the attention to safety is commendable. nice!
I think it’s quite possible or I don’t know what to look for. I didn’t have a dad so it’s hard for me to know what I like and don’t like. That said, there are many men I’ve found attractive when the timing wasn’t right so I don’t know that I’m too picky either. Hard to say. I wish I was more discerning in seeing who is a good man who could be a good partner for me
You don't like the fellas you went out with? 0 for 120? Surely at least a few of them liked you. How many 2nd and 3rd dates did you have?
It depends on the country. In France, you definitely gets lots of tax advantage getting married, and in many cases 1 person earning X is not so different than 2 people getting x/2 after tax.

That is definitely not true in the UK, at least when I was working there from 2011 to 2017.
No one out of ten I had second or third dates with
I suggest reading 'How to Not Die Alone' by Logan Ury. It's an excellent book that will probably answer some of your questions.
Try Vedic astrology also.
Best thing I can say is be assertive in making things happen. Make the first move, first contact. Opportunities pass by if you sit around waiting for it to happen.

For guys this is natural as we are expected to take the initiative since teenage years.
Much like Kim Stanley Robinson anticipated in the Mars trilogy.
I'm not sure this will be at all helpful to you, but I will ahar a short story that had a meaningful impact on myself. I was at the point where I felt finding someone was hopeless (though now I realize I was still quite young). I was on a tour trip and spent a few days with a couple whom I learned found each other through an arraigned marriage. At first I was out off by the idea, but over the few days together l realized that they had something beautiful. They made a commitment to work together. After that I changed my efforts from finding a perfect match to finding someone I could work together with. Since then I have known my partner for 10 years and been married for over seven.

Oh yeah, voice acting.

The characters in Ireland all have Irish accents. Check.

In Syria, the characters all sound Arabic. Check.

Most of the Parisians have a French accent. Check. But the thugs outside the Ubu have New York accents (OK, clearly an intended joke), the receptionist at the hospital has an American accent (iirc). Come to think of it, no-one in the hospital has a French accent, do they?

And the de Vasconcellos lady (in Spain) has a British accent for some reason.
My first modem was a 2400bps MNP5, before the revelation that was the 14.4 HST (sysop discount, naturally). I first used the Internet in the early 90s, “pre-Netscape” and for a couple of years even “pre-Mosaic”. Precisely because so few people had good connections, web site owners were economical with their use of images, and information was structured so that it loaded quickly. Presentation took a back-seat to accessibility.
There is nothing wrong with waiting a bit longer to get intimate. Be sure to communicate clearly what you're looking for up front!
Have you considered IVF to reduce the time pressure so that you can make a better decision in the long run?
I don't know about you guys but I got a hell of a lot done on a 56K modem all the way up until the mid-2000s. Hell, I was even doing group content on City of Heroes from the dial-up connection I had while working my night-shift hotel job, and the game played surprisingly well given the bandwidth and latencies I had.
Well that really depends. I was outsourcing to India when it was still cheap. I probably did something wrong, but I provided definition of the project, set of unit tests and access to git repository so they can upload the result. I got completely useless trash code, incoherent excuses and wasted time.

I paid the company for their "work" and never considered outsourcing again. Sometimes cheap means horrendously expensive.
It sounds like you’ve been trying the typical “random” dating approach. Meet some guy, figure out if you like each other, then ??? That approach has a high miss rate and doesn’t work for all people.

If you are indeed ready to find someone I would advise you to get pragmatic and be specific about exactly what you want.

Write down exactly who you are looking for. Try to narrow to age, race, physical characteristics, etc. Literally, every aspect that is important to you. Write it down with a pen on paper. Make it real and get it out of your head.

Then, aggressively start looking and use the criteria you’ve developed.
What exactly implies Austria has a "much higher standard of education" than Poland?

For example in the most recent PISA rating the average score of mathematics, science and reading is 513 for Poland (11th in the world) and 491 for Austria (28th place).
Almost all of them asked me out again, but there were really compelling reasons it wasn’t a fit. The ones I did go out with again and I really tried to stretch myself, usually ended up ghosting me. I think they were playing the field.
It may not be possible everywhere but it’s certainly possible elsewhere (my wife and I also file jointly in Germany).
Have all the rejections been from one side, or has there been a mix?

I don't think I have a great answer. Before I met my wife, it felt hopeless. I had dates and girlfriends, but no one I would want to spend the rest of my life with. And then I met my wife at work, and very quickly it felt obvious that I would spend the rest of my life with her.

I guess my point is that it isn't something you build up to, necessarily. It goes from "there is no way I could find a life partner" to "I can't imagine not being with this person" without much in between. It isn't like you start with someone where you say, "Oh, I could spend a few weeks with this person", move on to the one year person, before finally getting to the lifetime partner... it just happens.
Korean immigrants found that out the hard way almost 30 years ago in LA.
The dutch isn’t earning ten times less than the average US developer. At best two times less, but that’s it (and FAANG salaries in US tech hubs are in no way representative for average US dev salaries)
Why not ?! I’m game !
Unfortunately, I have to agree. The truth is that it’s entirely possible for some people to get SF FAANG level salaries while working in the EU, but those salaries are extremely rare. It’s not the same as SF or Seattle or NYC where there are numerous job opportunities and career paths that could lead to those salaries. Instead, they’re reserved for a select few high achievers who are uniquely talented and accomplished.

This article has caused a lot of consternation in one of the international forums I follow with a lot of younger people getting started in their EU tech careers because they can’t figure out why they’re unable to find compensation coming close to this anywhere.
Well austria is firmly central european.

Dont worry, old tech will always tend to become cheaper. Once countries such as austria take the lead on new tech pay will follow. The us and uk have invested massively in modern technologies. Actually the uk started the trend with its industrial revolution and the us overtook it thanks to its size and dna engraved appetite for risk and innovation.

To increase your pay, austria would have to be less rigid and more open to risk. That will lead to the creation of more modern startups and more demand for your skills. Dont give into anti globalisation conspiracy theories as globalisation is benefiting austria by giving it access to vast markets. But since austria is mainly relying on old tech its now losing ground as it hasnt got much to sell.
Personally, I don’t believe dates work for love. For lust, attraction, and curiosity/discovery, sure. But love is what grows over time after (continuous/regular) prolonged exposure. Mostly out of friendship. It is also one of those things that always seems to rise (as a feeling) when you least expect it and aren’t looking for it. Every couple I know met their significant other around study, family acquaintances, sports clubs, etc. Somewhere with a shared, safe(?), reason for being there out of which something grows.

Live your life, meet people. Stop looking desperately and just observe.

Still waiting for Wes to admit that the pandas API is a mess and support the development and adoption of a more dplyr-like Python library.

Pandas was a great step on the path to making Python a decent data analysis language, Wes is smarter than me, I never could have built it, but it's time to move on.

What do you find attractive?

Are you religious?
You should look for men who are divorced or widowers, because 41 is 41. I know you said “no discouragement” but perhaps that is one of your issues. People who lie to you to avoid hurting your feelings are not necessarily doing you a favor. Very few men who are not in the 2nd hand category or are themselves in their 50s or older are going to be even interested. Your other issue is most men who are not in those categories will feign serious interest just to screw you, after which you will be ignored. That is what a couple of my wife’s friends who are in this category often struggle with. So, my suggestion is to restrict your search to second-hand men.

Might help! I remember thinking this was a cool approach.
You could try to guess based on dark spots maybe but that's more like gambling. Boards that smelled "burney" worked fine while others just failed - the cause of failure was heat as in most cases the thermal pads weren't touching the heatsink or the component, were missing or were crumbling.

SMD elements can fail either open or closed/shorted, the latter is more likely to cause a worse failure but it's not exclusive. Due to protection circuits elsewhere they can fail without visible marks so it's hard to diagnose.

Thermal pads dry out because of heat first, their quality second, with load coming in last imo. So the fact that it's been used for mining alone doesn't mean much.

The conditions under which a card was used and the time matter more - if only sellers told you the average temperature, case type, ambient temperatures, whether the cards were undervolted/overclocked and how long they actually ran...
People need to look at data aggregators and visualizations like https://app.electricitymap.org a lot more to get an intuition for the patterns.

Just today you can see the following patterns.

First, at night, energy prices in France and Germany are in lock-step and equal to the cent.
Then during day time, when the sun is shining, two things happen:

* Energy prices fall sharply in Germany, while they stay on approximately the same plateau in France.

* The output of the nuclear reactors in France actually gets reduced, even though prices are still sky-high.

This shows the problem of the excess base-load due to nuclear power in France. The nuclear power plants are already hindering renewable energy production by putting strain on the grid, which is the opposite what all nuclear proponents claim.

The problems of nuclear power become pretty evident if you just look at the data once per day or so. The first effect of decoupled prices in Germany and France due to lack of transmission capacity has already been going on pretty much every day since about April.

The second effect that France actually reduced reactor output during the day, with the prices still high, is new, at least I have not seen it yet.
Cool! I’ll get it today ! Thanks for the rec!
These are three options, there are more:

Option 1: Expand the pool - learn to be turned on by and interested in a wider variety of people.

Option 2: Convert an existing relationship, perhaps a platonic friendship, to a mutually beneficial partnership.

Option 3: Genuinely give up, allow yourself to relieve yourself of any expectations, and try to become mindful of the internal pressures you are applying on yourself as a reaction to your own childhood etc.
Base level compensations for FAANG positions outside of SV are indeed pretty typical and humdrum.

But they contain a large equity portion. And over 2-3 years that equity portion ends up being more than the base salary, and you can get pretty close to a Bay Area compensation range.

e.g. I was L4 @ Google Waterloo in Canada. Base compensation was nothing special. Good for the immediate area, but not stellar. Yes, nice perks, amazing benefits, decent vacation, good bonus, etc. But after accruing RSUs for a few years you're probably making double what you started with. Especially so if the stock goes up a bunch.

Could you make more money working directly for Google in SV? Certainly, but your cost of living would be way higher. But even if you stay home you're likely making at least twice what your peers in the regular local companies are making.

Unfortunately it's terrible golden handcuffs, because nobody else in the region will be able to match that compensation package.
Not impressed by this article either, but it's more of a summary of a presentation than a proper documentation. Though yes, it does suffer from a meandering dialogue-driven faux-journalist style and could really use bullet points at the top. This piece contains good info but the style smacks of content writing.
Maybe it's time for an "Ask HN: Who's Single". I can't imagine there's only one person on here trying to find someone.

If politics are occasionally allowed on here, maybe that would be, too.
