> It is well documented that testosterone levels have greatly declined in the last 100 years.

One factor is the decline in smoking. Nicotine raises testosterone levels.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17163954/

Nicotine is a drug like any other and has all kinds of side effects, some that can be seen as beneficial. Like, if you think you're going to get shot in the next 3 hours, yeah, you should probably smoke a cigarette. Otherwise, stay away from the stuff.

The problem is that (in school and the workplace, at least) it's almost always the individual with autism that is told to conform to others and never the case that the others are taught how to work with the autistic (or other neurodivergent) person instead.

It would be better if the education about how others worked was two-way and included teaching others about autism as well.

And yes, some schools now do this, but he majority don't.

Where is this free parking you speak of? I live in a largely suburban city (couple million people) and the vast majority of parking lots are neither free nor taking up land which would otherwise be used by a park or playground. It's nearly all underground, or on top of buildings, or along the street, and almost none of it is free. We have lots of parks.

I'll give the benefit of the doubt and just assume a different life experience, and not just hyperbole.

While I totally agree with this, I think you should still get a drivers license. There's always a very real possibility that you may need to drive a car in some sort of emergency.
The cost of a taxi ride is not affordable if you need to make that type of trip often. Paying $40 for a ride once or twice a year is okay, but if you need to make a weekly trip to the doctor, plus get groceries and go to church on Sunday - a brand new car is now cheaper (a brand new car is very expensive, most people drive older used cars that are a lot cheaper)
“Old and unchanged” has historically meant relatively little in Linux[1], in part due to a lack of a stable API/ABI. These components are very possibly more buggy than those under continuing development.

I find consuming K8s to be like this - it's great, provides facilities for common everyday things

I find building K8s (well) to be wildly different. CNIs, storage classes/providers, yada yada. For a 'solution', you have to build a lot of it.

It's in a weird spot to me, I like/enjoy it - but only because I have other people helping me tend to it

edit: Think of a typical 'cloud' -- it's typically made of compute, storage, and networking.

My 'thing' about K8s is it's hyper-focused on the compute part, touted as complete, but (understandably) lacking in terms of storage/networking OOTB

Being able to easily build (development) clusters perpetuates this a bit more than I care for. They let you ignore the parts of production-worthy K8s, worrying only about the workload.

Yes, most people are lurkers. That doesn't mean that lurkers can't show their presence with interactions in the form of up or downvotes or that the different subreddits, hashtags, and so on aren't a mirror of the user base.

Exploring by car is a reaction to how communities of our parent's generation were built. Live in a single family zoned suburb where you can't walk to anything? Of course you're going to end up exploring by car and "getting away".

I'm an older millennial but enjoy living in a community where I only have to get into a car a couple times a week, but can spend the reset of the time walking or biking around my community.

I'm running self-managed kubernetes cluster.

Overhead is as follows (/month):

1 x load balancer: $20

3 x master servers: 4GB RAM, 2 CPU, 15 GB SSD: 3 * $20 = $60

also on every worker server around 15% of RAM is dedicated to kubernetes pods (kubelet). So slightly higher price for RAM and CPU.

So basically overhead is like $100/month. Or $50/month with one master server which is not very reliable but acceptable for small workloads. If your project runs on $5/month VPS, Kubernetes is pure overhead. If you're paying $500/month, Kubernetes is something to consider.

Yeah except it doesn't necessarily take the strongest one, you can set a 'temperature' parameter which determines how often you should pick the second choice, etc.

You add each new token to the input prompt to generate the next one.

The problem in the Netherlands is the peripheral connections. Transport between the cities is great. Inside them also. Suburban areas are crap though. In my town my house 15km from the city center of Amsterdam had a bus one time per hour. And really unreliable, often wouldn't appear etc. Walking to the train station was possible but 20 minutes.

This makes any trip much more difficult. Anyway I had to have the car for work. I hated that thing and the consultancy job.

> fastest/cheapest way to write code that works

Pretty much. I do really like good code and I hate touching anything that I have written and know it to be bad. But some things need to be done quick. If I open another project that needs to be green-lit for every single thing...

Also I do a lot of hardware control and some tests really need a defined order. Sure, these stricly aren't "unit" tests, but there are just a very large amount of conditions that must be met.

Components that need time to move, components that have a longer cooldown/heating period that you cannot toggle on/off at all times or in generally should be toggled as rarely as possible.

To test that your code is correct, an order to do things might just be sensible and practical. How long a test lasts is also a quality that should not be neglected. Embryonic position after each "unit" is tested would drag everything out.

But I have no problem with the requirement to call a most vulgar function to be allowed to do so. Doesn't hurt to reiterate the ideal.

It should be said that from small engineering offices to large market leading industry leaders it is still quite common that there are no tests at all...
It depends.

Anecdotally, in Boston the MBTA is one of the "falling apart" systems. I could still rely on it to commute to my college / job, and the worst that has happened was sometimes being late due to delays. There are certainly a lot of sketchy people, but I have never seen someone attacked or have anything stolen or been harassed myself - then again I am a man and I'm certain it's different for women.

But more importantly, when living in Boston I never had to use the train. Only when commuting. Because when I lived in Boston everything was at most a 3 mile walk. Even in the really bad weather I could layer up still get places without public transit.

Now I'm in a less urban area but it's the same: I don't have a car and rarely end up using transit / Lyft. I do get groceries and things delivered though, but my job and everything else is within walking distance.

I still agree it would be a lot better if public transit was more reliable, but I think many people in cities can be well-off without a car. Not anecdotally I know that most of the college students in Boston don't have a car (especially because there is basically no parking...)
I'd agree with all that. The idea of a "very slow consciousness" reminds me of Great-A'tuin in the Discworld novels, whose brain functions at a slow timescale. After centuries of study, telepaths were only able to glean that it is looking forward to something.

I think the absurdity also comes from the difficulty of directly measuring or evaluating the conscious process. You can ramp up the absurdity even more by fully encrypting the algorithm and destroying the encryption key. No other conscious being will ever be able to interact with that process's experience.
> It's denying reality to believe that EU devs are even with US devs financially. I have no horse in this race, I just care about the truth.

I think you are missing the bigger picture here with purely financial comparisons. I earn much less in Europe than I would in the US, but at the same time, I don't have to worry about healthcare nor my kids being shot up in the school. As long as I breathe (and even when I stopped not too long time ago), ambulance service will give me a ride to the nearest hospital for free and the hospital will treat me the best way the can without paying any attention how much money I have in my pocket. (I still have trouble believing that emergency ambulance costs money in the US.) Local school system is among the best in the world and I pay nothing for it. To me, this is tremendous non-direct value I get from working in Europe instead of the US. And these benefits aren't just for me; they're for everyone and the society is more cohesive as a result, which leads to things like not having to worry about desperate outcasts taking guns to shoot up a school. Active shooter drills are unheard of, people watch documentaries on American schools with astonishment and disbelief.

Unless you account for non-direct quality of life factors like how much time you and everyone around you can spend with their children while they're growing up, I don't think these comparisons make much sense. It's like comparing how many megabytes of disk space operating systems occupy, without paying attention to what capabilities they offer and how well they suit specific use cases.
Wow. That seems such a sad and limiting way to live your life. I love how I can use my cars to go anywhere at any time without depending on anyone else. And my family and I do a lot of optional activities. Different perspective, I guess.

Or learn to drive, at least. I don't think lack of a licence would stop you driving in a real emergency.
Car sharing is great for the occasional need for a car. Not Just Bikes calculated that if you need a car only once a week, car sharing (which is really short-term rental) is cheaper than owning your own car.

If you need a car for a longer trip abroad, you probably need a different kind of car rental, but the advantage is that every time you can tailor the kind of car you rent for the purpose you need it for. Get a station car or minivan for vacation, a tiny electric car for a short trip with no luggage, or a van if you need to move some serious stuff.
This is a kind of product that’s easy to scope creep so I’m curious, how many person-months did it take you to build this MVP?
Obviously, it does matter to me if I'm understood. What I'm not understanding is what it is I'm not being clear about.

Edit: I think part of the problem we're having in our communication is that we're both coming from angles that are alien to each other, and haven't really worked out what each other is saying.

For instance, the questions you are asking me are difficult for me to answer directly because they make no sense to me in the context of this issue. I've been trying to interpret them in such a way that I can provide useful answers, but clearly I've failed. I suspect that's because we each have very different underlying assumptions.
Since you seem to care strongly about this would you be able to share why discussing potential causes of homosexuality/trans should be off limits?

Even that assumes you don't have relatively specific hobbies. Which I guess is true for many people, but it's highly unlikely that (for example) my preferred martial arts instructor and my preferred dance instructor are going to be within 15 minutes of where I live.

Tensor networks in machine learning (2022)

I understand the downvotes for being the graphic nature of your post but I learned from your post that the former CEO of Binance US has been missing for almost a year. Holy cow that feels important, the article is outlining her questioning of these transfers and then she goes missing and they don't mention that?
I haven't owned a car for at least 15 years since I moved to Switzerland, don't miss it at all. I do occasionally need a car, so I'm a member of a car sharing scheme, they always have cars nearby, I pay a low yearly feee and a low rate per time and kms used, easy to book with an app, probably cost me the same for a year as a parking space for a month.

For an occasional weekend away I might get a car from a regular hire company as they workout cheaper for longer distance.

I suppose I never drove that much before in the UK, never really had to commute as I always try and live within walking distance to work, although I would sometimes drive if it was bad weather, but that was because public transport wasn't really an option for that, the buses were frequently backed up in the rush hour traffic and all would arrive at once instead of being evenly staggered, meaning long waits in the rain where it would have been quicker to walk anyway.
I found that not having a driver's license tremendously limited some of my opportunities for recreation and travel. I drive way more when I'm on vacation than I do when I'm home.
I don't understand how to account for the fact that total vehicle sales in the US has not been dropping over the last 40 years despite stats like this from the article:

"By 1997, 43% of the country’s 16-year-olds had driving licences. But in 2020, the most recent year for which figures are available, the number had fallen to just 25%. Nor is it just teenagers. One in five Americans aged between 20 and 24 does not have a licence, up from just one in 12 in 1983. "

The article states it's baby boomers that account for increasing traffic on the road. So baby boomers are buying more cars per capita as they age? So much so that it's offsetting these dramatic drops from the younger generations? I find that really hard to believe so maybe I'm missing something. Anyone able to explain?
The young are falling out of love with cars because they're unaffordable. It's as simple as that. It's yet another sign the standard of living is declining for the young.

The average new car price in the U.S. is now over $47K (Consumer Reports). I make a good living and I'm not going to pay that kind of money for a new car! A young person would be stupid to pay that kind of money for a car.

Okay, so what about used cars? The average used car price in the U.S. is now over $28K (KBB). That's more than I've ever paid for any new car I've ever bought!

What does that look like for a monthly breakdown? The finance costs for $28K is $525 per month. The average car insurance is $130 per month (US News). The average fuel costs are $100 per month (1,000 miles per month, 35 MPG fuel consumption and a fuel cost of $3.50 per gallon). Finally, the average maintenance costs are $25 per month (Consumer Reports). That cost goes up as the car gets older and doubles after the car is 10 years old, according to Consumer Reports.

Add it all up and that's $780 per month. Now ask yourself, with those costs are you really surprised to hear the young are falling out of love with cars?
Copy it to all your computing devices, and keep doing that when you get new ones.

Audacium has officially merged with Tenacity
(supabase ceo)

this is a great write up. Some responses to your red flags:

No setting for session lifetime - as you point out, there is a setting called "JWT expiry limit". I'll mention this to the Auth team and see if they want to consider changing the name of the setting

Client-side unencrypted tokens - we give developers options. Serverside auth is definitely more secure, but that's not always an option (eg, on React). If you have a serverside requirement, you can check out our Auth Helpers [0] which give you several patterns for serverside auth.

No 2FA on their own platform - we just released this to the Auth server in December[1]. It's on it's way for the platform.

This comment caught my eye: "It also creates the ultimate vendor lock-in". That's surprising! You can pg_dump all your entire database, including your users. I can assure you that's easier than other Auth platforms.

With that said, I want to let you know that this is all fair feedback. We _definitely_ care about Auth - it's one of our most important products. We have a dedicated Auth team who are fixing issues based on user feedback, as fast as possible. We receive a flood of feedback across a lot of channels, and we do our best to keep up. From an product perspective, we aim to deliver products that makes sense in a Postgres context - you can see that we think deeply about how this service fits with Row Level Security in our MFA post below.

Your article has a lot of actionable insights, which I'll go through with the team to continue this improvement.
