>The western model is built on patriarchy, they just continually import people from patriarchies to supply western work forces. Without patriarchy the western model would collapse because westerners aren't interested in creating a non-patriarchal model of society which might reduce their standards of living and force them to expend labour on things like childrearing.

I'd advise that you try to find a new term to replace "western" here.

There have been plenty of experiments within a "western" context to do things differently, but few of them have spread broadly. In addition, there are plenty of long-lived patriarchies outside whatever you might consider "the west" to be.
This article makes repeated references to the hyper focus on women's bodies on social media, and repeatedly points to them as a causal factor.

Please, present reputable published evidence for "innate" biological causation for the female sex in relation to the mental health effects of social media use and its impact on suicidal ideation. The absence of evidence is the not the proof of some grand conspiracy.
What's the worst codebase you've ever worked on?
You know the kind I'm talking about.

A huge lumping monolith of spaghetti with barely any tests, class hierarchies a mile deep, and a list of dependencies that can make a grown man weep.

Unlikely, housing is only one factor, and I don't think it's the biggest one.
"Mastering Regular Expressions" from O'Reilly covers regular expressions to validate email. The resulting regular expression is dozens of lines long.

Consider RFC 3696, "Application Techniques for Checking and Transformation of Names". The author provides some example valid email addresses:

Abc\@def@example.com
Fred\ Bloggs@example.com
Joe.\\Blow@example.com
"Abc@def"@example.com
"Fred Bloggs"@example.com
customer/department=shipping@example.com
$A12345@example.com
!def!xyz%abc@example.com

A one line regular expression won't do much but block valid users. As has been said often in this thread, the best way to validate an email is to send to the address and confirm delivery through user interaction. Everything else is half-measures, often doing more harm than good.

I'm thinking about a historical approach. For example what exactly is Ptolomy system? What's the math involved? Why did the phases of Venus rebutes the model? How did Tycho make his observations? Can we repeat it for say a few months? How did Newton come up his ideas? What are Einstein's thought experiments.

Basically I want to put myself in the shoes of great minds, learn what math tools were available at the time, do their observations, know how their thought processes work.

edit Would appreciate if someone could recommend a textbook that follows such approach.

Can someone explain to me why this comment thread is so obsessed with UB? There is plenty of way to shoot yourself in the foot with well defined code in C and some undefined behaviours can be perfectly safe provided you know what the compiler you are targeting is doing.

Is it a new fad in the Rust crowd to confound UB with memory unsafe? Some of the use here seems completely random to me.

There’s an idea in your head.
You produce some text with your fingers.
I consume that text with my eyeballs.
Some idea forms in my head.

Phrased like this, your aim is obviously that the idea in my head closely resembles the idea in your head. Don’t get distracted by trying to make your text more closely resemble the idea in your head; your text is just a tool to get past my eyeballs and into my brain.

The best advice I have for improving that resemblance is this: Re-read your writing looking for other possible ideas that could be formed, and then edit it such that it is incompatible with as many of the other ideas as possible. You may need to put it down and come back later with fresh eyes in order to see those other possible ideas.

This sounds like the cliche advice of “re-read and edit, put it down and come back with fresh eyes“ - because it IS that cliche, expanded into the most specific and effective form of itself that I know. Unfortunately, the cliche by itself isn’t as helpful, since there are many other ways to expand it. You could re-read, but looking to see how closely it resembles the idea in your head (a common mistake, I cautioned against it above). You could edit, but such that it has fewer words (aesthetically pleasing for sure, but it risks sacrificing that all-important ‘inter-brain idea-resemblance’). You could come back with fresh eyes thinking the goal is to rediscover and refine the idea that’s already in your head (a good way to think, but this is more precisely called ‘journaling’ and it doesn’t have much to do with writing to communicate.)

Case in point: it was only upon re-reading my comment and thinking ‘damn, that last paragraph is really long, can I fix that?’ that I realized the entire last paragraph is literally me being worried that you’ll see “re-read … edit … come back with fresh eyes” and then the idea that ends up in your head will just be whatever you usually interpret the cliche to mean, instead of the very specific process I have in mind! I should also add a concrete example, those are usually very effective. I suspect concrete examples are helpful precisely because they are derived from your idea and not from your text description of the idea: there’s a cloud of possible ideas compatible with the text you wrote, and there’s another cloud of possible ideas compatible with the examples you give, and the intersection of those two is quite specific.
I hate to be an elitist jerk, but if you can't understand a man page describing a single file format then maybe running an email service is something best outsourced.

Interesting, I hadn't heard of Highlight.io. Thanks for sharing your code!

How does your session replay feature compare to LogRocket (which I've always found quite impressive)? (Side note: I'm missing proper screenshots and/or videos on your website.)

Regarding your pricing: Am I seeing this correctly that, in contrast to LogRocket, you're not charging ridiculous amounts for team seats? This is what drove us (web shop, 30M user sessions / month, ~150 developers) away: For 100k sessions/month and 100 user seats they wanted $30k/year of which $21k were supposed to be just for the user seats. ( ._.)

Now we didn't expect 100 of our developers to use the tool regularly (as in every day) but since LogRocket told us accounts could not be shared or rotated and we expected many devs to access LogRocket at least every now and then, that price was beyond unacceptable.
Co-routines (when used as an async primitive) are an an alternative to callbacks.

Callbacks exist to avoid the overhead of marshalling async results back to the original calling thread: instead of having the calling thread poll until the child thread(s) pass their results back, the calling function returns after kicking off the children, and one of the children directly resumes the work directly when the results are present. This is a significant performance gain.

However, callbacks have famously poor ergonomics, so many structured alternatives have been created: Promises/Futures, Async/Await, and CPP Coroutines.

Some people really just need to find out for themselves. All the talking it through will not convince them. Everybody is different. Even between my two boys, one is going to do it anyway, and one will be too busy thinking about it to do it.

Speaking of different, I do remember friends as a kid that went through a phase where they believed "no, they won't hit me or else". The "or else" was the driver getting in trouble, being sued, going to prison, something.

I never thought any of that would fix me, and continued to look.
> Many still believe the various news pieces about a housing shortage

Have you got a solid argument against this? Just the demographics are pretty stark. Millenials are the largest generation ever and we simply did not build any houses for them.
For some yes, but I'm specifically talking about the cohort who choose that lifestyle and wouldn't take housing no matter what. They prefer to live in a tent in the hillside, with not a shred of responsibility or authority telling them what to do. Many use substances. Our modern society has largely given them the Ok to live this lifestyle with minimal friction, and so they will continue to live it because it's what they desire to do.
Are you better off if I punch you in the face or kick you in the groin? It's a false choice, and it's pretty psychopathic.
Right. Part of the inflation in housing is driven by core inflation in housing inputs: materials, labor, etc. In most of the US market (outside of Cali), housing costs roughly track building prices. Some of this has cooled, hence the market cooled off. But fundamentally, we are very far from a "housing crash" because the market is far from saturated with inventory like it was 2008.

Oft forgotten fact of 2006 is that people were buying multiple new builds in their subdivision for speculative purposes. Because they thought they could flip them in six months for a 30-40% profit. To have a crash, someone needs to buy at inflated prices and lose their asses.
True. That was a bad example. Some HOAs are tough.

Insulin levels are massively overlooked. You can have normal blood glucose but excessive insulin levels due to insulin resistance, which leads to type 2 diabetes.

There are many tentacles to the state, which in itself can create cognitive dissonance, but the other problem you have is, you cant kill an idea. Take your anger out on a cop, the law prosecutes you for murder of a human, not a uniform, ergo you cant kill an idea, like law, religion & money.
Sure. But that's not the question. I see the question more as this: "Say life will get extinct in 1000 years no matter why. And say that if you do nothing, it goes extinct in 10 years, but if you act now, it will get closer to those 1000 years. Should you do something?".

That's the same thing about the current mass extinction/biodiversity problem/climate change: we are not talking about saving the species in 200 years, we've long proven that we don't care about that. We are talking about saving our butts. Us, currently living.

On the subject of interesting/eccentric Russian/Soviet scientists, I recently learned about Nikolai Morozov[1] who spent 25 years in prison for fighting against the Tsarist government before becoming a pioneer of aviation in Russia. He also had some weird ideas about history which became the basis for a popular Russian conspiracy theory[2]. And finally at age 88 became the oldest known combatant in World War II when he insisted on enlisting as a sniper in the Red Army to field test a telescopic sight of his own design. What a life!

In all fairness, this isn't possible everywhere. There's such a shortage of doctors in my part of the US (a medium-large metro area) that there are literally none accepting new patients. I know four people who have been actively looking for a PCP for more than two years now.
> Social media in and of itself is really just an accelerant for the particular set of social expectations we stack on girls and women around appearance and how that relates to self-worth

This is an extremely reductive take.

The depressing part about social media isn't just about beauty, it's about success in general. Social media made it very easy to show the image of success without actually being successful.

If you're basing your understanding of reality on social media, you will think that life is extremely unfair to you. Apparently all your friends are always eating at expensive restaurants, driving luxury cars, going on fancy vacations, and getting flowers every day.

This leads to a weird state where pretty much everyone is faking their success, but thinks everybody else's success is real. Which, if you think about, can be quite depressing.

> You could think of it as a sort of techno-myopia.

Or, more accurately, you can think about it as a different set of priorities.

For instance, someone might want to spend a ten billion dollars of tax money to survey all the ball pits across the world, and accurately count the number of balls in each at precisely the same moment, just to have that knowledge "for its own sake." Is it myopic not to care about that?

A lot of people meet some of their needs for mysticism and meaning with astronomy, but it's also perfectly valid not to use it that way, and instead see it as blurry pictures of places that aren't even theoretically possible to interact with in any way.

It is subpar experience now, and using multiple screens to show even more "widgets" is strange value prop. The widgets I am interested while driving are not coming from some app. I want these screens to show information related to the car - cameras and parking sensors, cruise/lane control data, tire pressure, etc. Not a meeting reminder or current time in Tokyo.
I take Zeihan with a grain of salt, but his thesis that "children were free labor for farms, but are expensive poodles for yuppies in crowded houses" rings so true.

Kids distract from the modern, busy, downsized life. They're a major time and financial burden, and they only add headache. You can't make them do meaningful work for you. They get in the way in ways that were impossible a century ago. You can't hop on a plane, take off after work, or shut them away and have them mind their own business. Not like on a farm, where kids could roam free, learn independently, and help with the mountain of chores.

This is tongue in cheek, of course, but there's definitely some truth to the calculus of whether or not to have children. And it's on everybody's minds.
Pre-calc to quantum field theory in 2 years? nuts
I consider myself pretty decent at writing. I don't love writing but it has always come fairly naturally to me, much easier than it appears to come to most people. Which is surprising, given how absolutely mediocre I am at nearly everything else in life. :) ("Those that can, do. Those that can't... write?")

I'm frequently aghast at how utterly _terrible_ most technical documentation is. Even the docs for a lot of prominent enterprise and open source software is just awful to use. What drives me the most insane is dry, passive voice. Passages that descriptive rather than prescriptive ("the widget is a surmounted on a logarithmic casing, widdershins of the two spurving gears"), contain zero diagrams or illustrations of how things are put together, and _definitely_ don't contain anything like a tutorial or getting-started guide.

Every once in a while I consider jumping into the field of technical writing just to clean it up a little. But I would probably find it immensely dull after a short period of time.
