Don't sidestep the argument. I'm clearly talking about things well in reach of most guys to change, yet those aren't the things named in the article or mentioned by most women. At the same time, studies back up these things are relevant and are arguably more relevant than what women typically claim is most relevant to get a foot in.

And that's exactly the point of the other commenters. The advice is generally bogus, as their actions don't align with their words. It's such a common phenomenon, the common advice is "stop asking a fish how to catch it, ask a fisherman or practice fishing some more". There are dozens of things guys can change well in their power that would help, and the words of women aren't helping them get there unless they are really obvious.
Is the leech the welfare system?
There's a set of personality dynamics that works like this. Really common in tech:

- My unspoken (if even consciously known) mission is to not be caught dead not-knowing things.

- So I will always learn things. I keep buying books, I subscribe to learning-focused services, use my library card, etc.

- However, I have this really damn embarrassing tendency to forget stuff, just at the wrong time!

- I've already got the big picture down--that's boring, I could talk about the big picture all day (future, low detail) and I can generally see where things are going in the world.

- So, I will work on my memory, bc that's interesting. (past, high detail, can be overlaid on the future for some pattern extrapolation even)

To some, there's an additional performer-complication: "My memory will help me perform well, and a good performance is my unspoken mission in life." This could apply to debates, job interviews, who knows what.

This loose chain of various factors would, in my mind, point at someone who is likely to overidealize the impact of memory improvements in their life.

It also points at someone who should work on subjective knowledge organization before getting into any memory improvements. They should have an external system which for all practical purposes supports the most likely or common holes in their memory. This will also give them designer-builder energy that they usually also crave, it will solve memory problems in the big picture (using a perceptive view-gift of the future to solve a weakness).

So it's like a loose subjective risk factor based on some alignment or non-alignments with those things.

Otherwise, some amount of memory work is really handy. I mean you'll never forget a thing you really want to remember, ever again. It's a muscle that requires conscious work, but still...I mean I can remember grocery lists from over 30 years ago, critical film theorists from 20 years ago, and how could I ever forget seeing my favorite pair of lazy-day flip-flops looking up at me from within a circuit diagram? That kind of thing.

Maybe mathematically. But realize that the targets of the audits are probably bearing at least as much of the cost burden of the audit as the IRS whether they did anything wrong or not. And you'll almost certainly cost a lot of people who made honest mistakes a lot of money.

So, no, it's not at all clear that the IRC should be revenue-maximizing.

Um what? Is PRZ involved? Is he ok with your using that name? He had something called PGPFone a long time ago, though it didn't get much traction. There have also been tons of other encrypted voice programs.

Obscuring traffic patterns without stupendous amounts of dummy traffic is quite difficult. That someone is connected to your network at all is already a huge giveaway. I have trouble seeing how something like this can work without a very big operator (think Cloudflare or AWS) being involved, and anything that size would have to get in bed with regulators. It's a lot easier if you're only trying to do low bandwidth text.

You didn't say otherwise, but this is such a frequent misunderstanding from people who don't write Rust, or write only safe Rust (which is fine) that it's worth pointing out the unsafe keyword and Rust's choice to be "safe by default" are not directly related. Culturally obviously they come from the same place, but for example:

v[i] is bounds checked in Rust even in unsafe. The unsafe "super powers" don't include "magically now indexing has no bounds checks" but because Rust's get function v.get_unchecked(i) is marked unsafe‡ you would need to mark code unsafe to use that function and that function doesn't have bounds checks.

If you write:

unsafe {
println!("{}", v[i]);
}

The compiler will point out that unsafe isn't doing anything for you here, v[i] is safe, marking it unsafe is just a waste of everybody's time.

C++ doesn't have bounds checked array access for its abandoned built-in arrays, but it does (these days) have bounds checked access for std::array and std::vector as a separate member function, however because they aren't the default few C++ programmers use them even where they undoubtedly should. This is an ergonomics issue, it's just easier to write needlessly unsafe C++.

‡ This said just get() before I edited it, but Steve corrected me, see below.
Oh yeah. Knowing the keywords is what makes you an expert
> You can’t argue in good faith with people who don’t want to learn.

You can’t argue in good faith with people who don’t agree with the ideology behind crypto and decentralization. I'm a "crypto" person. I work for a "crypto" company. I do so for primarily ideological reasons. The tech is cool, but I'm here for the ideas and the possibility of a different world. Most people on HN are creating developer tools and SaaS software for corporations. Different ideology. They simply don't agree with the worldview that crypto is offering developers/users.
> You get the same APY irrespectively of your size

On-chain, yes. But there is an off-chain cost to operating the validators, and there is economy of scale there. You can run many 32-ETH validators on a single machine using almost the same resources as running a single one, so the amortized cost of the hardware goes down. And when you do need to expand to multiple machines, the same applies; you don’t need 10× the people to manage 10× the machines. Of course, you can pay somebody to operate the validator for you, and those parties benefit from economy of scale.
I probably agree about test prep itself. But retaking the test, and taking both the ACT and the SAT (unless you know exactly where you're applying and hit your mark with one of the tests, which is something sophisticated families do but not everyone), is totally normal in high-SES households, and not normal in low-SES households. And that's just one SES-based detail; there are others (again: everything else they had to control for).

And, I mean, this kind of has to be true. Otherwise, you're ultimately going to get checkmated into arguing that low-SES working class folks are just genetically predisposed to do poorly on college entrance exams, which nobody believes.

Obviously, degree attainment tracks SES for other reasons: low SES prospective students have to be in a position to forego 4 years of income and job experience, as well as the prospect of moving away from their families to higher-SES areas in order to take advantage of the earnings potential of those degrees. But there are stark difference just in entrance exam scores themselves between high- and low-SES students (and between Black and white students, with SES fixed).
Speaking as someone from the US, The BBC nature and science documentaries are I think the best in the world (in English at least), especially anything that David Attenborough gets involved with.

My suspicion is that the US actually has national natural history and science collections/museums that are on par with the UK these days, but we lack something like the BBC to "market" them for lack of a better word.

Related- conflicting research findings and anecdotes on glutamate toxicity from MSG consumption might indicate certain people are more susceptible to the negative effect than others. Raising this question often invites comments on: whether or not cautioning against MSG is actually racist; misdirection about the sodium being the prime issue with MSG; and comments from those with vested interest in MSG (MSG producers, any food producer with MSG, Yeast Extract, or "Natural Flavorings" in their ingredients list, etc.)

I don't understand how this is exclusively a men's issue. Now this is completely out of my realm as a gay woman but wouldn't this roughly mean that there is a similar amount of straight women who are single as well? In my experience polyamory among the straights isn't nearly as common as the internet likes to make it sound. In general, millennials (and I assume gen-z as well) are having less sex on average and getting into less relationships than previous generations.
Yes! Let's also make every config file is its own special snowflake with its own syntax, keywords, and escape characters. That way, it's much harder for software to interact with these files and humans will have to write config templates for each deployment.

Oh and we might as well store these config file in a different place on each distro and move them around once in a while just to keep things interesting. Users can ignore upstream documentation and just strace the process if they wanna know where the files are this year.

In order to keep my eletricity bill for a running system in my apartment to then minimum I researched the specs & prices from the "The Power Consumption Database"[1] and found an intel nuc running on 5watts idle.

You are both too normal so the product works as intended for you. Unfortunately however, real engineering means making it work in all likely cases. Anyone outside of upper-middle class suburbia has an absolutely terrible experience with computers. The browser takes a minute or more to start. Button clicks take 10 seconds. You wouldn't know this because they are not your target market. But don't get confused and think I'm appealing to feelings. I'm saying software should be acceptably performant, when currently most is not, especially not websites. I'm saying that 99% of people get a terrible experience with software, once you step outside your bubble world. Real software should work on only 1000Mhz when performing trivial tasks like displaying text and forms (to say the least). Real software should not break down because of certain attributes about your IP address, user agent, etc.

I can't tell where you're coming from without getting to know you, but all these "works for me" forum posts are invalid for the simple fact that if I have a real conversation with someone in person, 99 times out of 100 it will just turn out they are acclimatized to slow half working bullshit. On forums the only reason they get away with spouting this nonsense is due to the upvote system and their cliques. Like if I complained about battlefield 2 taking 20 seconds to load the menu mid game back in 2004, a group of stupid forum posters will all either have a $2000 rig (in current dollars) that was able to bypass this bottleneck, or they're just some casual who played the game for 10 minutes in their life so they haven't had to open the menu a lot yet.

In the case of a signup form, it could and should have a standard solution that doesn't require amateurs to code it themselves, 20 years ago. Like a standard authentication protocol. And of course it should not rely on flaky communications like a verification email. All these things work for you because you're too normal, despite being terrible misconceived ideas. Since the web as a platform is a misconception, you could not make an application that uses a standard authentication protocol because the web introduces all kinds of problems due to its weird way of operating like the fact that you're vulnerable to CSRF by default and asinine nonsense like JSONP, and the fact that web applications aren't really a real mode of software but a bunch of hacks like embedding a script tag, setting the doc type, and fiddling with strange headers, and you can't really have libraries without all these fixes from 5 minutes ago like pinning hashes of resources and building some giant half working external dependency management system. Then at the end of the day it's still each website pulling the authentication code with whatever implementation of their choosing so you still can't trust it as well. Your "working" system is built out of a compatible stack of misconception-compatible software. The moment you misstep, for example if you want some privacy and put on a proxy, you will be severely punished since that breaks half of the web and leaves you with the overhead of doing workarounds for every single interaction.

Yes. With a traditional VPN you are trusting that VPN provider with all of your traffic. They know your identity and everything you do. The two hop architecture we use decouples that information such that neither hop has both the user's identity and their usage information. In our case, the second hop is Fastly.

The way the Flash Translation Layer works is complicated, but long story short, there's still an advantage to sequential reads and writes on SSDs. The difference in latency and throughput isn't as dramatic as with spinning disks, but is still there. Random vs sequential writes have big implications for the long term health and performance of the SSD.

It's hard to say that somebody's expectations for what they want in a parter are reasonable or unreasonable - you're allowed to decide who you spend your time with, and if that means you don't spend time with anybody, you're either satisfied with that or you change your expectations. If somebody says "I want to date somebody who is emotionally available", it's not anybody else's place to say "Wow that's completely unreasonable of you".

Same thing when somebody says "I only want to date a man who's rich, taller than me, conventionally handsome, and will cater to my every whim" - do you meet that criteria? Maybe not, but they've decided that they only want to date exactly one person in the entire world and they're gonna hold out until they find exactly that person, who are you to tell them they're wrong? It's their life.

Exactly. PHP (like every other modern programming language) has its own dependency management tools. Node is actually better than many in this respect because npm comes bundled with Node — it's not something you have to install separately.

Ironically, Composer actually lists npm as one of its inspirations [1].

Nah, until we get better returns on other endeavors for the same dollar.
In the videogames industry, it’s fundamentally the same category of competition (or stifling thereof) as an acquisition.

When Sony or Microsoft acquire game studios or publishers, both the goal and method is the same - giving their platform an advantage by paying a lump sum for control over the target platforms and storefronts of one or more games.

So it’s presumably also a case-by-case thing, like other big acquisitions / cumulative patterns of acquisitions.

So far, the industry seems to be “healthy enough” in spite of these sorts of deals. The big storefront/console competitors that are attacking each other are all huge and evenly matched, so none of them can exert this sort of control over anywhere near a majority of the market.
Craiyon did step up a lot in its understanding recently. The image quality is still not the best but it if you ignore the blurriness, the scary faces, and the weird shapes, it can sometimes be better than dall.e.
You get assigned by a random number generator to create the next block. If you fail to create it your only penalty is the opportunity cost (i.e., you miss on the reward that you would have gotten for creating one).

So at any given time only one validator is going to create a block. If you create it, it's going to be included in the blockchain. If you don't create it (or you create but due to network problems fail to communicate it), then the blockchain skips a beat and someone else will create the next one.

Someone asking me at the bar "but what's the value?" when they are an experienced technologist does not get my engagement. They haven't done enough homework to even propose a potential answer to the question they're nongenuinely asking

Ultimately, for the finance-minded developer, there is a gargantuan shortage of web3/crypto devs. I'm not talking about scammy VC web3. I'm referring to the people capable of building what's coming. Overnight, every company is gonna need devs and the shortage will be exaggerated.
I have thought a lot about meta programming and the best way to do it (I participate in the ISO C wg14) and I dislike macros, templets and every other attempt I have seen.

The best solution I have found, disregarding of language, is to use the same language to write a program that generates the code you need.

Then you can compile, and debug them separately using the same workflow, and each program can be clear and simple to read. Its not sexy or clever, but it works and anyone can understand what is going on. Almost always that turns out to be the most important thing.

Realistically, didn't most of this start when MS paid massive amounts for time exclusive DLC in the 360 era for some of the biggest games like Skyrim[0] or COD (5 years in a row)[1], or flat out exclusive content in GTA IV[2]?

Feels like the first company to study is Amazon. They are super customer focused and they have actual content out there you can find where they talk about it in detail and what it means.

In the early days of Amazon they kept an empty seat in meetings to represent “the voice of the customer”, that’s how hardcore they were about it.

This does not sound right at all. A lot of "automated" checks by the IRS that result in a return being corrected (such as more money being owed, for example, because of an automated check that found a mistake, such as someone forgetting to report 1099 income), the IRS simply sends a letter indicating the correction, the reason for it, and any balance due. It's not "audit" when they do these automated checks.
