>I know for a fact I will have no luck with dating apps if I shave my head and go bald in my early 20s and I might as well give up now.

Please don't give up in general, but please give up with apps. It's obviously doing your head in.

If you just read the comments in this thread, the general consensus is that they (apps) don't work for the majority or they don't work for HN'rs.

If you profiled the HN community, you'd probably won't be surprised we're (on average) not that good looking. We hack too much code, we're generally overweight (well there are some here that are REALLY into fitness), some have crazy or no hair, some have way too big ears, or even too many heads (zaphod beeblebrox).

But a lot of us have SO's. wtf? How can that be?

Think about this. Everyone on TV is so bloody good looking with shiny teeth and great hair. How can we (HN'rs) compete with that?

Answer: A lot of people out there are boring as fuck and don't know anything of the world. They talk about sports, how crap their job is, the problems with their front lawn and about owning the other political party. That's it. Yawn.

We're reading about some cool nuclear reactor type or how to bake bread, or reading about some benedictine monk seeing strange lightning.

We generally still love to learn about cool stuff and can generally have a good conversation with above average IQ people. We can see the funny side of life and often are quite funny (which is very attractive to potentials).

TLDR: Don't knock yourself down too much. We all have strange things going on and still get by. There's lots of good looking people that are SUPER dull.

One could say we might even have an advantage! ;-)
The physical building of houses and even raising the capital to buy the materials and labor to build some sort of house capable of housing people, is not anywhere near the choke point in California. Eliminate the zoning and building inspectors and associated enforcement mechanisms and the houses would pop up.

I guarantee if California said tomorrow, "build what you like on your land, there will be no permits required!" People would flock to build on the land. Whether the dangers of that outweighs the dangers of homelessness and high price families spend on rent that makes healthcare, healthy food, and education less affordable, is an exercise for the reader.
This seems like a rehashed article and "worse than you think" doesn't apply.
A piracy service causes no immediate harm and should be dealt with legally, but something that has been proven to cause harm (actual harm, not feelings or whatever the minorities keep crowing about) should be preemptively terminated and should not require a court order - in this case terminating them does not infringe on any incorrectly assumed rights as they aren't being censored they're still free to participate on the internet.

More importantly, it's not a legal decision it's the moral and humane choice.
So why isn't Twitter hacked every other day?

I'm sure there's security issues at Twitter, but I don't see a reason to believe it's so much worse than other companies.
Good reasoning. Hindsight bias comes to mind:

I've only had 1 employer (a DB company) so I can't speak to industry norms, but I've never had restrictions on things I could do or download on my computer. Hard for me to imagine working at a place where I need permission to download a tool or library when writing software. Seems like a huge burden.

> Which only affect those builders who keep wanting to build in San Francisco. Just go and build somewhere else, that's the entire point of San Francisco regulation!

Builders are building elsewhere, and that is precisely the problem. The lack of construction in the city is the main reason for the sky high COL there.

EDIT: You know I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not.
People said this at the height of the used car shortage. It still wasn't true. In my experience, suckers were buying Corollas at 25%+(!) over MSRP. All I had to do was go to another dealership.

Let me put it this way: you've got the entire continental US you can buy a car from and shipping a vehicle coast-to-coast usually costs under $2,000.

So, what do you think is truer? Is the market excruciatingly tight, or are there just a lot of people making bad purchases out there?

The vast majority of deaths from firearms are not from mass shootings. This is still true if you look specifically at those under 18 - it's down to about ~2K homicides, most of which are the result of street violence. Mass shootings actually kill less children every year than unlocked guns that they get access to and accidentally shoot themselves or another kid.
Meta security also allows any software to be installed. But they also keep a track of laptop state through the osquery daemon that's always running.

GP was talking like this alone was gross negligence, implying that this is different from the rest of the industry. That doesn't seem to be the case.

> If we invented AGI tomorrow, how would it achieve domination over us humans?

Completely depends on if super-intelligence is possible from that AGI model, and if so, how fast the ramp up will be to super-intelligence.

The problem for insects is not that humans "dominate" them (in fact most insects have total "freedom"); the problem is that humans do not take the concerns of insects into account for any of their decision making.

When I hear "no-code" for backends, my initial react is Make and Zapier. I haven't given the backend side much thought, but this is interesting. Any use cases you had in mind or do you wish you had this for a specific project?
In reading Mudges' complaint, it really paints the Twitter leadership (esp. Agrawal) as simply not caring about security enough to do anything about it. Instead you had an org with massive amounts of technical and operational debt, and leadership not willing to invest in it. There are always tradeoffs between fixing technical debt and building new features. Twitter leadership chose to ignore (and to some extent, hide) the problem rather than invest. They certainly aren't unique in having a security plan that is built around hope.

Engineers having full control over their dev machines up to and including preventing system updates is not ideal; but not out of the norm for tech. Poor data access controls, and out of date server fleets (where I'd expect updates to be pretty automated) are far more worrying to me.

“Not credible” as far as proving that the plaintiffs acted fraudulently, which is a far cry from the plaintiffs proving that his allegations were false.

Comically negative? It’s hardly negative enough.

I’d change the link title to “Miserable, childless misanthrope and establishment propagandist chides you for concerns over your childrens’ safety and affirms that to be fashionable you must pretend not to notice the ruling strata has deliberately undermined public safety and social cohesion for decades for cynical personal financial gain and service to the progressive pseudo-religion”

Now it’s comically negative in a “it’s funny because it’s true” kind of way.
Xprotect is part of GateKeeper, which arrived in Mountain Lion (and late versions of Lion).
I would rather gyms simply not have TVs. Anyone who wants to watch something is always carrying a device that can let them.
Most databases allow you to return the result as JSON. Just do that.
I’ll definitely continue to call people ignorant when they make grand unsubstantiated claims, that frankly are nothing more than trollish internet behaviour.

A better approach for people is to ask questions, rather than trying to write controversial falsehoods.

Right now there is at least one high ranking submissions on HN where a creative details how this won’t end their career, but you don’t need to read it - social media is filled with creatives literally rejoicing - no one is sweating this.

So to that: I say that ignorance to this is definitely a choice.
I have found this to be very far from the truth, with most compute-bound or memory-bound tasks getting 10x speedups from minimal work by stuffing more work into each instruction and retiring more instructions per cycle without really changing the algorithm.

Gorbachev good? You think sending tanks to Lithuania to kill people is what good person does? Or hiding everything about Chernobyl and not telling people what happened is also good person best move?
HandlerSocket is an interesting approach to turn MySQL into a NoSQL database and get 700,000 requests per second on a single node.

http://yoshinorimatsunobu.blogspot.com/2010/10/using-mysql-a...

When I benchmarked Redis on an Intel hexacore I got 800,000 requests a second on 8 terminal windows. So I assume the MYSQL data fit in RAM.
> But putting that aside, employees installing “whatever software they want” is already a significant eyebrow-raiser.

How do you ensure you are not a gatekeeper but also keeping company secure? Vetting software installations would be killer for any productivity at that scale I guess. Does it include npm install too which can run scripts or just desktop apps, chrome extensions?
TrueCar used to be a pretty good one, and was the service behind Sam’s Club and USAA’s auto buying programs. But it’s pretty much no longer worth the bother now. Don’t know of anything newer that’s better. Keep in mind that no app can work miracles in a crazy market. They all ultimately depend on dealers competing with each other to deliver any value, but dealers just haven’t needed to compete in the last couple of years.

There are command line knobs to turn these features off. You can disable SIP, or you can disable the system policy (which disables Gatekeeper and XProtect).

It's definitely a case of "just because you can, doesn't mean you should".
> And most importantly, the software on these endpoint computers was reporting dire problems. Over 30% of the more than 10,000 employee computers were lacking the most basic security settings, such as enabling software updates.

Who are these people writing articles like this? Not enable [automatic?] software updates is equivalent to dire problems?
Yeah, Portugal should simply tear down all the old mouldy buildings of Lisbon and replace them with shiny skyscrapers, so each and every Portuguese can have their very own flat in Lisbon.

Or if they're crazy enough to want to keep these old buildings they could just build all the skycrapers in the park surrounding peak Monsanto, easy.

This is incredible!! Congrats on shipping this :D
This is likely going to be controversial. I am all for more time off. But the way the world is evolving, to maintain its competitiveness, America cants really afford to be slacking any further. Ultimately, it’s the work of the people that transforms a country and I am afraid, America is working less harder!
interesting.. any idea how i would find 'that guy' in my metro city?
I didn't use pragmatics as a compliment.
California has 44 million people and is the 6th largest economy in the world. The 9 counties in the Bay Area where I live have a larger GDP than most countries, a little bigger than Saudi Arabia. Silicon Valley is home to cutting edge technology companies that have changed the world so much that people want to rein in "Big Tech." When Vladimir Putin complains about American cultural hegemony he's talking about California. Are you saying California and Kansas are the same? What I said was that some parts of America are more futuristic than others, which is obvious to anyone who has travelled around America. There are other parts of the country which are on the cutting edge such as Seattle, Portland, Chicago, etc... I suspect you haven't been to Kansas. To me it felt like going back in time, but that's subjective. It's not a criticism. There's nothing wrong with it. I like Kansas. I said that. Go to Wichita. Go to Fargo. Go to Paris Texas. Tell me how I'm wrong. I've done the road trips because I wanted to see for myself what the rest of the country was like. Jackson Mississippi currently doesn't have a working water supply. Downtown Flint Michigan is all boarded up. What kind of attitude should I have?

Edit: I'd say the city that is most improved as far as moving into the future is Salt Lake City. I was there in 2004 and then 2020. There's been a remarkable transformation, which I guess is understandable because the Mormon Church has 100 Billion dollars, and is the richest religious organization, right behind the Catholic Church.

Hi, I'm a full stack dev who mostly likes to work on a frontend. I'm quite experienced with Angular, although now I'm focused on getting more formal experience with React/Next.js. I have experience working in medium-sized teams and building large web apps that consume external APIs and internal microservices. I also have experience with mobile apps built with web tech (mostly Ionic).

Why is simdjson faster than json parsers that do not contain any simd intrinsics if using pshufb and movemask for string parsing hurts performance?
Redis has the same limitation (only one transaction at a time) and is used a lot for webapps. It solves this by requiring full transactions up front. The ideal case for sqlite for performance is to have only a single process/thread directly interacting with the database and having other process/threads send messages to and from the database process.
The hidden cost of exception handling
Many dislike the idea, but this is why people turn to "nationalism".

If you want to decrease unemployment, you add tariffs for imports enabling more businesses to open domestically (i.e. tariffs effectively increase import costs).

Similarly, you can loosen building codes to increase production of homes, limit visa duration, require citizenship for home ownership, etc. Those are some obvious fixes, why is the government not doing it?

Beyond the obvious potential fixes, all EU countries are facing the same issue:

- supporting immigrants (high level of immigration)

- no controls over ones border(s) (anyone can move between EU countries)

- over regulation and too many social programs (reducing peoples willingness to work & increasing burden on the current tax base)

- over regulation of industry and farming has left the only option to survive being to work in a city (as an example, see nitrogen reduction regulations in the Netherlands)

It's all "give-and-take" you have to decide how you want to live... To me it sounds like the EU is hitting a critical state, but is there a will to make the tough calls yet?
There may be cultural differences (esp. regarding the US, which were generally known as somewhat prudish in these concerns), but in Europe sporty swimwear (rather by Adidas and similar domestic brands than real Speedos) was the default. Anything else was asking for an explanation or would even provoke open ridicule (like Hawaiian shorts).
It is questionable whether he _can_ walk away from the deal. He signed all of the contracts and made legally binding promises to lenders with no clauses around misleading amount of spam bots or security issues. Of course, laws are more bendable when you're that rich and stand to lose billions.

If the power grid can't handle everyone running AC, how will it handle everyone running AC and also charging cars?

EVs adoption adds stress to an already overstressed power grid. The grid needs to be improved if we want EV charging to be available to the masses. It's not FUD, it's just obvious.
I believe this is a good idea. I don't know a whole lot about law-making, but I know that a lot of ransomware cases could have been prevented by enforcing updates to various packages and operating systems.

Please note that I am not claiming that updates are a silver bullet. I am sure if someone managed to obtain credentials that allowed them to release an update for MS Windows, say, and that update installed a keylogger, it would be bad news.

But regular updates at the source code dependency, OS, firmware, networking hardware, device layers, mandatory code review, hardware FIDO/U2F tokens, training on best practices for handling data and for writing and reviewing secure code, use of modern encryption algorithms, encryption of sensitive data at rest, requirements to not store PII without a proven need, requirements to change default passwords (or even better yet - laws mandating non-default passwords at ship time), ongoing anti-phishing training, and the like will all help us stay safer. There are bad actors out there. We all make mistakes. Our industry is maturing at an altogether unacceptably slow rate, IMO - a lot of these techniques are well known in the industry, but they cost money and time to implement, and nobody seems to want to expend that effort until it's too damn late.

I am not a security expert. Just a developer who tries my best to pay attention.
Yes. Additionally, this is a commonly cited win of cars in cars v. public transport. You can take your car anywhere in the zombie apocalypse*, whereas any system that requires central planning (trains) are more likely to break.

Making cars (human or machine driven) depend on a centralized service basically takes away that advantage.

> IMO, buying an economic new car and then keeping for most of the vehicles lifetime is close to optimal.

It sounds like you're adding the time searching, etc to your model (which is fine).

From a purely financial perspective, I do wonder. I think the key phrase is "keeping it for most of the vehicle's lifetime". If I look at the used cars I've bought, the total I've paid is $17000 in today's dollars over the last 19 years.[1] If you throw in various repairs, it adds a few thousand more (I'm too lazy to look up the actual numbers, but you can find it if you dig deep in my comment history). And that number includes routine maintenance everyone has to do (oil changes, replace brakes, etc).

A comparable new car today would cost more, but you get the benefit of having a modern car instead of old cars that I've driven. The down side is you're stuck with that car for a long time, whereas you can keep getting newer model used card every so many years.

[1] I didn't get lucky or find fantastic deals. These numbers are representative if you follow a few simple rules of used car buying.
