> [i] Boys and girls, men and women are very different.

People are different, splitting people up into two groups generally doesn't help anything. The vast majority of your life will be spent dealing with individuals, not groups. Don't treat individuals like any of their groups.

> (A) The cliche that boys pay attention to things and girls, to people is not fully true but significantly often is true.

I have found nothing of significance in my life due to this purported "fact". People are people. Look at the individual, not the group.

> (B) Once from a real expert I got a flat statement: "Of COURSE, women are MUCH more emotional than men. That is the cause of all the problems.". That answered a lot of questions!

Uninteresting. Maybe you are less emotional. Maybe the people you dated were more emotional. If that is a problem, seek out less emotional people to date. There are plenty. More importantly, find someone that makes you feel good, regardless of any insipid advice about "women".

> (C) A large fraction of girls and women tend to be afraid -- the list is long with some standard items and some more. One of the more important things a boy/man can do is make it really clear to the female that they are at zero risk with him.

You should do this with anyone.

> (D) Generally girls/women are exposed to some means of manipulation, and some of them get good at it -- boys/men need to watch out for that.

Men manipulate just as much as women. Again, look to the individual. Stop thinking in terms of men vs women. Find someone that isn't manipulative.

> (E) Some girls are afraid of being in love (there is a lot to understanding love, and I can't cover all of it here) but, still, are very interested in sex. For them, holding hands can be more intimate than sexual intercourse. Boys/men need to realize that.

Take the gender out of this statement and it is an interesting one.

> [ii] A surprisingly large fraction of people are in some significant ways seriously mixed up. So, watch out for that. Also have a list of common ways and watch out for those.

See, great statement, absolutely decent advice because you kept gender out of it. Although it does sound too jaded. I'd rather state it as, "people struggle with life, understand a person's struggles and make sure you can handle them before becoming too deeply involved with them, not just romantically, but platonically, too."
Sprinklers, as well as waterless fire suppression systems, are fairly recent inventions so their mettle has not been really tested on the time scale of document archiving.

On the topic of interesting Amazon recommendations, if you shop for aluminum oxide, Amazon will helpfully bundle iron oxide and magnesium ribbon behind a single button for you. Go a bit further down and they will even sell you cardboard tubes to put the resulting mixture into.

Mastodon has a migration path for users to move to other instances. So when the server admins allow it (i.e. don't just shutdown, or kick someone off) moving is rather easy.

Today, several in my mastodon timeline mentioned they finished the move. But without them mentioning, I, an outstander (i'm on another instance) wouldn't notice it.

What will happen, though, is that a portion of the users won't migrate. Either because they forget, or they can't be bothered, are "zombie accounts", or because its too challenging: it does involve down- and uploading and/or copypasting zips/datafiles. This means a bit of pruning or culling, and that could be considered good, IDK.

What will also happen, on a more technical level, is that other instances and maybe bots and automation will hit timeouts and connection errors when it really shuts down. Most instances and fediverse software can handle this just fine, it's built with this mind; it might at most cause some overhead and load. Some flakey or poorly developed software might crash or break (for a moment).
see comment by throwawayacc2 - This is essentially what I am referring to.
I'll admit it is much more nebulous than what you are referring to, but the Roe v Wade decision came from a philosophical school that fundamentally undermines the purpose of the supreme court in the first place, which is to interpret the constitution. Roe v Wade was an outlandish interpretation that wrote content into the constitution that was not there to begin with. -e.g. the decision was ideologically driven and justified, not driven by the actual text of the constitution.
You can use a drying rack. They fold up and can be put away. As long as you don't live in the tropics chances are good humidity will always be low enough to dry in a day.

The way I understand it as a quick rule of thumb is that if you have tabular-type data, try random forests first (decision tree ensemble) and then NN and see which gives you better results. If you have other type of data (images, sound, text, etc) NN is likely the way to go.
We're in central Europe. A few degrees colder than London in Winter, I doubt it matters. I've done it in houses built a hundred years ago (though they were modernized since, obviously) and ones that were build recently with high degrees of insulation (almost but not quite passive). Not an issue. I usually did open the windows for a couple of minutes.
There are plenty of other choices. Pleroma[1] is probably the biggest competitor and is lightweight enough that you can deploy it on a raspberry pi. It's written in Elixir which takes a bit to set up, but the devs offer OTP releases that don't require you to have Elixir installed to use it and are the closest to "single file" deployment you get. Resourcewise it takes up only a fraction of what Mastodon demands in terms of memory & cpu usage.

DB backend is postgres. It's also by default far less cache heavy than Mastodon (which caches every external attachment, avatar and header locally, which causes a lot of issues since it's the main reason instances run out of disk space).

Featurewise it actually surpasses Mastodon on almost everything except for not offering a tweetdeck-like UI.

Washing does, too. I launder my clothing grouped by fabric density to avoid “pulling”. Works reasonably well.
Yeah, I don't see why more instances wouldn't charge for access. Could be something ridiculously cheap as well, like $1/month or something.

Mastodon.technology have ~1.5K activate users (out of ~24K users in total), charging $1/month would easily cover any cost involved with hosting the instance itself, if done right (avoiding hosting providers that charge for "premium bandwidth" and so on, looking at you AWS).

Another article where WSJ leaves out key information needed to understand it. In this case: where do those stock units come from? If the company had to buy them, that should show up as an expense. If the company already owned them, they should have shown up in the assets section of the balance sheet the period before. If neither of those things are happening, that seems like another problem.

You might start by explaining why they have to have a lawn.

If I was going to park my truck | caravan | boat out the front I'd rather have a well drained raked gravel pan than a lawn growing up through the vehicle, weeds, and dead grass when I drive awy.

Aesthetics are a thing after all.
maybe they meant it would take 3-4 hours to dry? thats how I read it anyway.
Exactly! I've shared because I find the underlying ideas and goals interesting.
But I really don't get how they reach the conclusion that yet another language is required to address them.
Land of the free.

It's revealing what's considered anti-social (hang drying your clothes) and what's considered normal (driving massive, pedestrian-flattening pickups).
The opportunity cost is something I've never thought of before. Thank you for that insight because it has made me start thinking about things I'm doing that, while not necessarily harmful, may be coming at the expense of things I'll regret deferring when I'm older.

Congratulations for putting that behind you. If you were raised with church as part of your life, you may actually have an advantage when it comes to developing friends at this point in your life. I've seen some strong atheists say that they envy the way churches can help one create strong friendships and community. That isn't to say it isn't still a lot of work on your part, but there may be a lot of opportunities if you can find a good church community to participate in.
Several responses to this, but nobody's asking the obvious question... there are anti-dryer meetups? Do people just spend an hour talking about how bad dryers are?

Also, why did line drying improve your sleep and reduce fatigue? This post is delightfully full of mystery.
This is one of the strengths of a federated system run by people who aren't looking to profit. Firstly, they care about their users and are more likely to take difficult decisions, like the one Ash has made, for the good of themselves and their users. In doing so everyone involved has time to make an orderly move.

Secondly, the service survives. Mastodon didn't shut down. The Fediverse didn't close. One beloved instance bows out and whilst it is a loss to many, their network endures as they thank the admin(s) and move on.

You think this shows a disadvantage compared to twitter? Let's talk once twitter shuts down. Because it will. How will your argument hold up when f*c*book finishes dying? We'll find out soon enough. Or how about when a telecoms/media conglomerate buys out flickr or tumblr and puts a stake through their heart? Oh, that already happened.

This is a bittersweet testament to exactly how the Internet should be built: on the foundations of openness, community and decentralisation.
Pro tip: when outside, have the white items get direct sun. It's a (lite, no pun intended) natural bleach of sorts.

Laws are one thing, enforcement is another. I’ll do whatever I want, including line drying my laundry if I want to.
Reminds me of a point I made about Pinboard. It's surprising to me that despite the success of open source software we haven't developed good systems for community administration of public services. Web services that aren't owned by large companies tend to be run with a bus factor of 1.

> I bring this up because this kind of thing arises in open source software development as well. For instance, when the developer of htop disappeared for a while, and the community forked it. But we (Internet culture) have not developed the same approaches to handling administration of services that are useful to a group of people. This surprises me. I think there's room for some movement in this direction, where a group of people can maintain a service that is useful to them and made available to the whole group. Perhaps various chat servers / Mastodon approximate this, but even in this case they're often run by individuals and susceptible to the same kinds of outages.

Again, useless is not the same as incorrect.
It is still correct whether it can be used somewhere due to implementation limitations or not.

I'm really unsure how you can possibly argue otherwise.

It's like arguing that a string algorithm is incorrect because it doesn't run fast enough on strings to be usable on any current computer.
It's still correct. It's just not usable.

Unlike correctness, useless is very context specific.
100 years from now, an infinite precision arithmetic algorithm may be entirely useful.
Either way people should not pull in new versions of dependencies and automatically deploy those to prod. One of the comments mentioned a app store review, which means that they pull in unpinned versions in a app that they cannot update by themselves. That is crazy.
The way I understand this at the gut, conversational level, is by noticing that hot air can carry more water, therefore it will dry your skin faster, which is what "feels" like the air being dry.

Heating doesn't remove water from the air, as you explained. But that's what people assume when they argue that "heating doesn't dry the air" as I've heard in the past. Using relative humidity is a good explanation.
Yes, it does mean throwing your vote away under Hare RCV. People who ranked Begich second had their vote thrown away when he was eliminated.
Depends what you want out of life and what career you're moving to... you can become pretty competent in a career in tech in just a few years and it will likely become lucrative pretty quickly. I feel that there will likely be increasing demand for programmers/engineers for decades to come.

The complete list includes 4 mineral salts, sodium chloride (yes, the common salt belongs here, because salt may be not necessary for those who eat enough animal food, but an adequate amount, neither too low, nor too high, e.g. 4 to 5 g/day is mandatory for vegans), calcium citrate, potassium iodate (or iodide) and sodium selenate, then 3 fatty substances, DHA, EPA and cholecalciferol (a.k.a. vitamin D3), then finally 3 organic compounds of nitrogen, which happen to be abundant in liver, choline bitartrate, taurine and cobalamine (a.k.a. vitamin B12).

All these have been shown to have significantly lower levels in the body of the vegans who do not take the corresponding supplements.

Especially the need for a calcium supplementation is often overlooked, which leads to a higher risk of fractures.
My school years were utter misery. It was the worst period of my life.

I wish I had just stopped going. I was bright enough to teach myself, there was a decent library on my commute.

I wasted over a decade of my life unhappy. It was a good life lesson, it made me stronger and wiser and more grateful, but looking back it's pretty fortunate I'm still here to reflect on that lesson.

Schools, particularly high schools, needs to be completely reformed. They are prisons for the young.
I'd say javascript is the new Perl (I used to love writing perl way back). It is undoubtedly useful, but can be horrific to read. It is heavily used to get things done in a pragmatic way.

The difference I see is that it will not likely die as quickly and quietly due to how distributed the code is.
You entire comment kind of ignores what is meant be a stock-flow consistent model. It _has_ to be consistent. All you points are typical of thinking of money in terms like "If as the government took on significant debt to produce something that is a net-generator of money. Which is common, OPG for example takes on big debt when building a nuclear power plant but then pays it off by selling the electricity" without thinking about the other side of the balance sheet. The link shows us what happens when you make something actually stock consistent, which is quite a few of the apparently obvious intuitions becomes clearly false.

You can't really argue with a stock-flow consistent approach - it absolutely has to be the case. You can discuss where the stocks end up and how they move about (which this model only approaches relatively simply), but it _must_ be consistent. Unless there is dodgy shenanigans going on, the money can only be created and destroyed in a limited set of places, and critically creation and destruction in the vertical money system (i.e. where the net financial assets don't have to sum to zero) can only happen at the central bank.

If a process wants to commit suicide, there is hardly anything that can be prevented I guess.

These measures prevent access to the tagging metadata from userspace, that is how they prevent it, and usually MMU isn't accessible to userspace.

> By using spare bits in the cache and in the memory hierarchy, the hardware allows the software to assign version numbers to regions of memory at the granularity of a cache line. The software sets the high bits of the virtual address pointer used to reference a data object with the same version assigned to the target memory in which the data object resides.

> On execution, the processor compares the version encoded in the pointer and referenced by a load or store instruction, with the version assigned to the target memory.

Golang Aha Moments: Generics
Second in a series about Go patterns used in the open source project (https://github.com/openziti/ziti) I work on for new devs joining the project. The first one covered channels, this one talks about things learned integrating generics. It's focused on things specific to the Go implementation of generics. Since it's a bit early days still for Go generics I'm curious if people have hit other issues or have found better workarounds for the issues we hit.
If it’s not one thing it’s another.

If progress continues then they will need some other expensive machine. Either that or they’ll try to stretch the life of EUV the same way Intel tried to delay EUV with extreme multiple patterning.

Oh no, won't anyone think of the property values! I'm a house owner and I want them to crash hard since we're in a socially unsustainable period right now. If a car parked on the lawn makes a considerable difference in the price, I'm happy to watch the bubble burst. Thinking in terms of white picket fences and constantly rising property values is what's selfish.
My concern is that there are not enough people who are qualified to determine if a fast algorithm can be used or not. It feels reckless to include less stable algorithms in a general purpose library when the vast majority of users are mainly concerned with speed and blissfully unaware of the pitfalls of floating-point arithmetic.

Most of these I have made peace with and addressed in my life now, but historically, these have been my biggest regrets:

Becoming addicted to pornography and masturbation in my early teens and staying addicted throughout my 20s. I have been sober for years now, and for me, it was only possible through working the SLAA[1] program. I never actually knew it existed until a therapist suggested it to me; I wish it had been easier to find, but unfortunately whenever I would search for resources in overcoming pornography addiction, I would only ever really find places like r/NoFap.

On the one hand, I have spent more than half of my life addicted to pornography. On the other hand, I now have the gift of potentially being able to spend more than half of my time on this earth sober. The glass is definitely half full for me on this one.

Not learning how to dance until my 30s. I was once made fun of for dancing at a party as a young child (<5yo maybe) by my mother and a friend of hers, and that led to me being completely terrified of dancing until last year. I would get very angry and ashamed whenever I was in a situation where dancing was involved, and just generally feel not-good and attacked whenever somebody who loved me wanted to dance with me. I picked up swing dancing last year and now dancing is one of the most joyous activities in my life, and you can usually find me out cutting a rug on a Wednesday night.[2]

Being a lousy big brother to my one younger brother. This one probably hurts me the most and I still have not been able to forgive myself for it. Funnily enough, my younger brother loves me very much and we have a good relationship now, but when I think about all the ways I failed him when we were younger I just lose it emotionally. Working on this in therapy currently.

Not taking care of my body in my teenage years and 20s, and especially wasting all that free extra T[3] when I was going through puberty. I wish I could go back in time and drag myself to the gym when I first hit puberty! I do a wide range of physical activities now including lifting and I have a body and the kind of mass I never would have dreamed of before, but sometimes I like to imagine what I would have looked like now if I had started 20 years ago. Oh well, I can always see what I look like in 20 years' time!

[1]: My stubborn younger self would have written this due to the vaguely religious overtones of the 12 steps, but I'm glad that as a still-non-religious adult I was able to get out of my own way on this one and just focus on doing what I needed to do to get better

[2]: This is also how I found probably my most important adult friend group after the age of 30!

[3]: I will probably hop on TRT when I'm older and my T levels go down, so maybe I will get to experience something like that later in my life after all
If you don’t trust yourself to not make a mistake with firewall config, why do you trust yourself not to make one when setting up an allow list? One wrong digit or dot and you’ll be in the same place.
