So it's my daughters' problem, hence my job to prepare them for.

More generally, though, I think it's linked to the electrician shortage as well as the ongoing population collapse.

Resourceful men can work around it relatively easily, and even use the hypergamy to their advantage.

But for society, the hypergamy is a factor that needs to be understood and either incorporated into the social structure (such as by allowing polygamy, like in Muslim countries) or by some other means that prevents the population collapse (and other problems) that the current hypergamous culture leads to.

Created a Website Marketplace for Skateboarders
My name is Rob.

I created https://www.goskate.com/

It is a marketplace that connects beginner skateboarders to skaters who can teach them how to skate for the first time.
The problem is that kids are getting boards, but it is dangerous to skate without knowledgeable supervision.
>> But the reason they didn’t try to land there was simple: neither the pilots nor the Atlanta controller knew it existed. The airport, not being intended for use by large aircraft, was not marked on the pilots’ charts, and because it lay outside Atlanta Center’s area of responsibility, it wasn’t on their charts either.

Or maybe one of the pilots had turned toward it, having spent time in the area during his military service (see earlier in the article). Maybe they turned toward it but the weather in that direction turned out to be terrible so they tried for the recommended airports... Maybe.

Sure.

(One of my degrees is in liberal arts, so I speak from personal experience here.)

Many of the fields in liberal arts pump out ideas. Think of it as theoretical physics (less all the math) without any ability/attempt to prove the ideas via rigorous evidence or experimentation. Often ideas are heavily dressed up with pseudo-technical language in an attempt to legitimize them.

See also the works of:
Foucault, Jung, Derrida, Freud, etc.

Now, in some cases, this is no big deal. For example, producing a work of art (novel, painting, etc.) does should not have any requirements of proof, evidence, falsifiability, etc.

But in other cases, where the creation of new knowledge is claimed, a lot of this stuff should be thrown on the junk heap. It does nothing to improve the plight of humanity.

`Integer ===` (and more generally if `===` is implemented as a class method) checks if the right hand side is of the class Integer. The object Integer is not, it's an object of class Class.

> All of those “features” come with with a heavy price—responsibility.

This is the issue with many of these types of services. Geeks love them; but no one else does. I don't like running a VPS or an AWS instance, because of all the overhead, so I tend to use shared hosting. I'm quite capable of running a VPS, but I can't be arsed.

I suspect that we'll be seeing some fairly large corporate Mastodon servers (like...say...Twitter). These are likely to be popular.
Small mistake on the `/\D/`: the correct semantic is "the string (or any matchable class) includes a character that is not a number".

It will also never match a number, although it's kinda ok because it's supposed to be an example of the functionality.

That’s so hard for me to believe - what kind of awful degraded experience would that be?

Like is that your phone, with a controller Bluetoothed in - do you get a Bluetooth headset too? Or are you playing sound through the device speaker? Or wired through a headphone jack? Squinting at a tiny little screen in your lap? Or somehow on a stand up closer to your eyes? Do you cast your screen out to an external display or maybe pipe the video out through your charge port? Doesn’t all that murder the battery? I’m guessing you need it plugged in too? And what, you’re on wifi this whole time? Doesn’t using your smart phone as a nexus for all this put it through a wringer?

And at the end of all that, what are you doing - you’re pushing your phone to pretend it’s a gaming console? As compared to just using a low end laptop?

It’s just such an alien concept for me. Why such a tortured process to get to stream a game you don’t even own… when you could just use appropriate hardware and play a better suited game?
Really because I'm a GCP customer also and earlier this week they arbitrarily shut off Looker on us with no explanation leading to tons of pissed off customers. Our account executive responded with no help and a link to file a ticket.

Home upload speeds aren’t holding that back. Hardware is.

What is the average social media user going to host their Mastodon instance on? I wish it were possible to run mini-servers on something like an Apple TV, goodness knows there’s enough CPU going spare there most of the time. Or that ISPs shipped routers capable of it. But alas most people don’t have sufficiently open hardware just sitting around at home.
Elon is obviously doing many stupid things but there’s many smart people at Tesla working on this issue so it’s not exactly a complete scam.

Isn’t it more realistic that FSD is one of those classic engineering problems where the last 10% takes 90% of the effort?

Also, the “move fast and break things” is symptomatic of the broader tech industry. Despite being glorified for decades, it’s become a toxic mentality that’s hurt us with social media, and is now exponentially more pronounced with AI. Sure, maybe Elon should be “made an example of”, but collectively we need to sober up and realize this is a systematic issue in tech rather than scapegoating one eccentric billionaire.
As far as hosting costs per user go, I think the Mastodon software could be implemented in a much more efficient manner. There are already alternative, working proof-of-concepts which are much leaner.

As far moderation, that's a harder thing to handle. Don't know really.

Just a reminder that glibc / pthread has a known futex-related threading bug in the wild that has been open for three years: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25847

It was discussed here two years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24958504

But I only recently believe I ran into it in the wild when testing some high-concurrency multithreading code for several days. It would run a few hundred million operations successfully and then hang, CPU busy, on pthread_cond_wait().

I don't care about the title.

The opening of this article really applies to me. I don't want to manage a social network. I don't want to have to worry about the stability, politics, drama of the network I chose and so on...

Why Weird Movie Theater Fads Just Don't Stick
> With no income potential.

Why is there no income potential? It seems to me that if Mastodon grows, there’s lots of income potential.
i mean are they just tracking if their employees went to pastebin? i don't get how they figured it out.
Japanese car dealers play the same games nowadays that American car dealers always did.

The biggest threat to their bottom line is economy cars. If somebody buys an economy car who could possibly spend another $20,000 that is a lost opportunity that won’t come back for 5 of 10 years in many cases.

Last time i bought a Fit I wanted a new one but had to get a used because they had no Fits because the ‘factory washed out in a flood' but they had 50 HR-Vs lined up that nobody had bought yet that came from the same factory.

The automotive press repeats that line that Americans only want to buy huge cars like the people in The Manchurian Candidate but the fact is everyday somebody goes into a car dealership and gets pressured to buy something bigger than they wanted initially.
I don't understand the data in the first link. What is "Percentage of Accidents for Small Vehicles" and "Percentage of Accidents for Large Vehicles"? They didn't define how they compute this.
Both buying publishers is a very, very bad thing for consumers. So very good decision! Want to make gamers happy? Stop with the exclusives, built better UX into the console and introduce cloud gaming. Consoles won't be a thing in 10 years anyway.
> Ramping down renewables is lots faster and easier.

And the source for this is? Because reality seems to disagree with you

> The stability argument is just populistic bullshit. Plausible on the surface, not a concern in actual practice

You're surprised that renewable energy is intermittent and you need to significantly overbuild them?

> You are acting like those who plan and build this renewable capacity never thought of that.

So many decisions in this space are made purely for political points, so you can see how yes, people who are building this rarely if ever talk abou this.

> The goal with renewables is to reduce the total emissions.

Note how if you don't shut down nuclear power plants you don't need to burn coal to make up for the difference.
Very similar to Ada'a switch statement, which utilities "case .. when". I don't think Ada can utilize regex in their switch statements but they can do neat things like convert a string into its corresponding enumeration.
I said the examples are brutally outdated, not the message. The book is filled with acronyms and names I didn’t know because they are 60 years old.

They are streaming through the app, which has a streaming feature for channels.
I'm all for valid criticism, but this read more like a rant (a rather long one at that). I think it's interesting that they used hachyderm as an example of why things don't scale, when that organization has managed to build a robust platform and nonprofit based off of user contributions.
Given that the CCP frequently "disappears" its nationals that it has some problem with, I think giving the CCP the benefit of the doubt is unwise and harmful. Given it's demonstrated pattern over many years, I think we can safely assume malintent.

Nothing is 100% sure, anyway, and the CCP does these things in secret to provide it deniability.

This article emotionally feels right, I get it. But … the issue is Amazon isn’t making this enormous profit. And what profit it does make mostly comes from AWS. Even given reinvestment, I don’t think the article really lines up with reality.

People voluntarily choosing to have fewer children is not going to cause the extinction of humanity. Consider that there are tons of people still having children, and that whatever genes they may have that predispose them to reproduce will, over time, tend to be passed on. Natural selection is a relentless machine of reproductive incentivization.
There are plenty of sustainable Mastodon instances that are run by a cooperative of users. Social.coop has been running for ages and is very active. Members pay a pay-what-you-can fee to join the member-run coop. It works super well, and they always have a surplus they're looking to reinvest.

I'm on a canadian coop instance that launched a few months ago (@jszym@cosocial.ca). If you're a cannuck, consider joining!
> If objects at large distances from the galaxy center have these large relative velocities induced by external objects they wouldn't be bound to the galaxy.

Right. Tides must be caused by something other than the Moon because it's just too far away. No, wait, large masses have do have an effect across large distances. There are no isolated reference frames without gravity. Galaxy clusters do orbit around their center of gravity. Would you like to know how many theories in theoretical physics been proven? Precisely none of them, including Dark Matter Theory. This dubiousness is specious and, fwiw, a bandwagon argument.
But the whole appeal of social networks is that everyone is there. No one likes to check 20 different apps to talk to 20 slightly different groups of people, or to follow 20 different celebrities they like.

There's never really going to be such a thing as a thriving small social network.
One of the most interesting findings from building this was to see just how important a distributed wind energy system is. The new offshore mega-projects like Dogger Bank are going to make a huge difference, and more onshore development will help with localised generation as well (avoiding transmission capacity issues, etc).

It's been fascinating to watch the various weather patterns over time to see where the gaps are in the locations of wind farms around the UK. It'll be great once we fill in the big hole in capacity off the south-west coast.

It’s saddening that a comment like this needs to disclaim that it’s not anti climate change. I get it, I’ve posted things in the past that were attacked as anti climate change and I was perplexed.

There's Akkoma (Elixir, Postgres) or GotoSocial (Go, SQLite) or Takahe (Python, Postgres) and probably some I've not even encountered as yet.

'KomoD and 'RobotToaster remind me of Pleroma (Elixir, Postgres) which Akkoma was forked from.

The problem is similar to LLM hallucinations.

It does not make predictable errors (slow response for older driver / aggressive driving by young male driver / etc). It's a lot of random error no healthy human would make.

It's not even consistent on routes.. you might find it to be a huge relief to use on your commute and then one day it almost kills you on its 47th route on this road.

It used to lose its mind on HOV lane mergers while driving in HOV lane like 1 out of 3 times.

It used to hard brake for a Burger King roadside sign 20 feet in the air because perceptually its vision system read this as a stop sign.

It used to slam the brakes and cut the speed 30mph because it suddenly thought it was on the local road under the highway I was driving.

It used to phantom brake for highway overpass shadows in high midday sun. They slowly fixed that, but then introduced some imperceptible conditions that still triggered phantom braking in other lighting.

It allegedly avoids objects, and would brake overly hard for someone merging in front multiple car lengths away. Meanwhile very close cut-ins would often get missed, and I had 3 particularly hair raising incidents over the life of the car in which I was cutoff at highway speed and the car just.. did nothing. I had to brake so hard the car lost all traction.
There needs to be a change in unions. The old them versus us paradigm is broken.
Old labor laws allowed the coal age exploitation of Appalachia and the UK industrial revolution = General Bullmoose was soon upturned and now in the USA/UK we have unions actually becoming an elite group. In Oshawa, Canada, if a worker is laid off and he seeks an interim job, he need not apply if the company is aware of his status - employers know he will vanish with zero notice if he is given a next day recall to GM. He may conceal his laid off status - but vanish he will if recalled.
The net effect of this is fewer jobs in USA/Canada and perhaps UK?
I prefer the Japanese/Korean/European model where workers have(in many cases) management representation on the board of directors = they see all aspects of labor and manufacturing and I recall many unions agreeing to moderation and even lowering of wage demands - for the good of the company and thus the workers be the better competitive posture this gave their company/industry.
This is very clear in the USA where 75% of auto jobs were lost to imports (as well as some to wage driven automation) from the 60's to the present day.
