> This affects 30+ year old men too. Don't dismiss it.

Society doesn't fix things unless women are affected

Its routine, right now in popular culture to regard rape as a joke, to make fun of the victims, to trivialise it, to limit discussions about it... Unless it's a female victim.

Same with violence, more men are victims than women, but only females receive the help and support.

Even with these new (dubious) numbers there is no mention that males still outnumber females in terms of suicides.
My solution to the "10 years old PC used as a backup target" was to just donate/sell-off-as-parts the old PC, and replace with a 10 year old laptop, with an external USB enclosure. From 180-200 Watts down to 10-25, but it was not as much fun with two weeks of a rabbit whole digging :)
> First, obviously regulation is a conspiracy. It will is a coordinated activity by multiple individuals.

Your comment goes way beyond being wrong. You clearly do not know a) what a conspiracy is, b) how standards and regulations are specified and adopted. You clearly are trying to comment on subjects you're entirely oblivious about.

> Second, none of this is an argument to ban natural gas appliances.

Except it does. Again, you seem completely oblivious to what regulations and standards accomplish. You're trying to reject well established concepts and mechanisms that you know nothing about, and filling in your ignorance with conspiratorial make-believe.

For your information, builders are also forced to comply with regulation on thermal insulation in particular and climate confort in general. Why? For the very same reason NY banned natural gas in new buildings: mitigate the environmental and economic impact of climatizing ineficcient, sub-standard homes.

> what is the harm? Is the harm acceptable?

I invite you to read the regulation. You are clearly commenting on stuff out of ignorance.
You’re reaching so desperately for a way to defend this blatant overreach, and I think you missed the original point.

I've picked up so many mental models from these podcasts. I constantly refer to things I've learned over the years from these fantastic shows:

• Articles of Interest: histories of fashion and social convention

Some of the companies I worked for have removed my reviews, so I'm not so sure about that.
I dont know about taking it personally, but it is very annoying to me. It is also misleading, because most of the times it is not simple by most definitions. I like my documentation to be concise and give me information, not make effort estimates for me :D. I know it's a silly point, but it is very grating to read. I would file this under bad writing practice.
Hot take, I know, and sorry in advance. But I'll go so far as to say that what you're saying here is in part caused by technology, the internet and social media. Most reasonable people, and reasonable feminists (which most feminists I've met are) do sympathise with men and their issues as well.

I think social media amplifies the extreme minorities voices that state that they don't care about male problems, that men are incels and far-right terrorists and other unsavory takes. I don't think most people label males as such. But I do think social media is extremely good at bringing up these takes - because they create a lot of engagement (particularly from the opposing side).

I think social media affects 30 year old males in the exact same way as teenage girls get body image problems from looking at "perfect" lives on Instagram. Men get served toxic and outrage based content that shows the extreme outliers - multiple times a week, for multiple years in a row.

I think most people are reasonable. I think most people care about male problems. I think a minority label men as incels or terrorists. I think the internet exaggerates this position greatly, and it's at least partly overblown.

Same here! Can’t believe I had never heard of it before… I wonder why it isn’t the default for CMake and Meson. Are there any drawbacks?
The new revisions of Fortran are actually quite nice to work with. I had a month of using fortran in a company I worked in and reworked some Fortran 70 code into a more recent version (Fortran 2000?).
It overall felt more high level than plain C. Eventually I also ported the code to Python and Cython and while the cython implementation actually was more performant (arrays were always allocated with fixed sizes in Fortran and in python it was easy to pick just the right sizes), the Fortran implementation was fairly readable
I think this varies dramatically state to state. Perversely my experience has been that strong tenants’ rights are highly correlated with high hurdles to renting

Not going to play semantics here. There is definitely a different level of trauma for a person to experience for something they are physically forced or threatened by force to endure than something they are convinced to do even if they would have otherwise not. It's insulting to victims of the former to pretend otherwise.
The problem is they also say we should do calorie restriction. CR plus a reasonably active lifestyle sounds a lot more fun than lifting weights, and less likely to injure me.

Has anyone studied how these different things stack? If someone walks a lot and eats healthy, and lifts a normal amount of things in daily life... will they get significant disease prevention benefits from lifting on top of that?

And what happens if you control for mental well being? Will someone who deeply enjoys being strong get a lot more benefit than someone who's just kind of meh about a PR?
Staying away from the flame war (pun intended), but regarding baba ganoush: you might get better results with an electric oven (grill/broiler) and a cheap gas torch.
It is not as hard, but requires a device in the middle to send the magic packets from time to time. Using my home desktop like this for years, 10 years ago it was a native feature of my tomato based router back then. Today it is with a small script that sshes into the openwrt router and sends the magic packet to the PC, but very similar in terms of UX.
You can still apt install that game, I think the package name might be something like moon-lander. I play this regularly and keep a file for games that don't have highscore storage (like Dino "no Internet" game as well, also so you can compare across different computers). Can confirm this is the best strategy and also the hardest option.

as a mechanical engineer i wrote lots of FEM codes in FORTRAN, i still do and honestly enjoy programming in it. the lack of graduates who know Fortran is a correct estimate. As far as I know, it is usually replaced by MATLAB and Python in our departments. Unfortunately, C++ is taught less.
i don't know much about future CPU technology or why it is likely that Fortran codes don't perform properly on GPU. but i know that NVIDIA takes too much time to provide CUDA-FORTRAN for windows. nothing happened after 4 years.
But it seems to me that the isolated Fortran programmers have recently become well connected. Look at the website [1], Package Manager or LFortran [2].

Generate designs from prompts based on a design system
Hey everyone for the past couple of months I have been working on a design tool that generates designs from prompts based on a design system.

As a UI engineer of 5 years I have been obsessing over the fact that if AI is generating designs then they should be based on a design system, much like co-pilot suggests code based on the pre existing codebase.

If you're interested in trying it out, you can sign up for early access on http://magify.design. Would be really glad to hear your feedback and thoughts on this tool, and I hope it can be used to take out the tedious parts of design.
> Learning from failure is not success.

It most definietly is if your goal is to learn as much as possible.

This is exactly my point. This is a different mindset so many people can benefit from. Many people want to build things, they try it, the end result fails short of their expectations and they give up. That is how you guarantee to not achieve anything. Instead anyone who wants to get better at doing things should do (carefully and with as much attention and deliberation as you can muster, but put tool to material don’t just think about doing), observe how things went (not just the end product, but every single step), figure out what are the low hanging fruits you can improve on, try again. This is how you can achieve great results (in creating hardware and software, but also in various other parts of life.)

Make sure you can sustain this process of iterative improvement and you will end up with things you couldn’t imagine any other way. In my case with my limited means that means don’t spend more on a single iteration than what my hobby budget can sustain, make sure nobody gets hurt and the workshop doesn’t burn down. SpaceX clearly has a lot more money to throw around but the principles are the same.
It wasn’t unheard of for 60 year olds to be joining military battles in ancient Sparta/Athens either.

Perhaps the article forgot the whole idea of lifelong strength training and how marginal gains can work. Rather it focuses on building that strength later in life rather than right now.

Strength training is some of the best stress we can provide our bodies.

None of this is really new. Plato was even well known and has many quotes on the importance given his name even originates from “broad” by his wrestling coach.

Late to the party but this is the same point of disagreement I had with the video, though overall it was fine. Why do these performance efforts and rewrites at the companies he listed take years? How complex is the uber eats app anyway? Well, it's because most engineers at those (and other) companies do not care or know about performance, and when it actually matters to the business, have to be dragged kicking and screaming to a slightly better state by the minority who do. It won't last long (hence the continued twitter examples).
Reasonableness is hard to determine ahead of time, or even to define.

Here's something I've seen happen. A couple of women in a corporate Slack channel says, hey CEO, what are you going to do to celebrate International Women's Day? Some dudes respond and say, cool, good idea but if we do something for that can we also celebrate International Men's Day? The women reply with angry face and eyeroll emojis before saying: no we should not, because "every day is international men's day".

This is the type of casual misandry and anti-male sentiment that is an everyday experience when dealing with feminists. Were these women the "reasonable" type? They weren't literally tweeting #KillAllMen but when it came to the crunch they wanted special privileges for women and justified this sexism with shallow, untrue meme-based kneejerks.

So the OPs point is accurate. Nobody cares about men being depressed or angry, especially not in government, academia or the media. Phrase it in terms of teen girls and the floodgates of tax money open. Let that affect strategy or don't, but that's how it is.
> What's the purpose of an outright ban then? Why not just ban it from rental properties?

You can perfectly have an AI that is powerful if you have the investment backing (like Musk provided). You can develop stuff out in the open like most software non profits do (case in point, the Linux Foundation), instead of playing Microsoft's slave.

An open AI is safe inherently, since it means that it can be easily ripped apart and thoroughly studied for exploitable points, unlike some closed black box system. Having Open AI be some closed system does nothing to reduce the number of bad actors - they will all choose to exploit Open AI's system once given the opportunity.
Oh my God. Paternalism everywhere...

To be the devil's advocate, the deniers will say "We've been emitting CO2 since the beginning of the world, and it's been fine, why are you worrying now?" - yeah sure that's ignoring the fact that there are now more cars, more planes, more factories, more cows, etc, but that's to be expected of these unscientific people.
You’d be amazed how many people still watch this shit in 2023 and even buy it, when

1) you can quite easily* find what cheap product is this a rebrand of

*admittedly not so easily since Google became extremely enshittified in the last fiveish years

2) drop that product into any old ebay or a price comparison engine and marvel at the markups they rack

3) find reviews of the same and see how those products come apart when you look at them funny, or are made of plastics known to cause cancer wide outside California, or some shit

But then again, it’s my bubble, outside of it it’s far from “obvious”

This is one of the reasons I became a landlord in the first place. One of my tenants recently experienced a terrible water damage issue that caused both bathrooms in their unit to be unavailable while repairs occur. They were shocked when I told them I would cover the cost of their relocation expenses while the repairs occurred.

I got really lucky when the company I work for went public. Going from being nearly homeless as a child to being a well-compensated, and now wealthy, engineer really was motivating to give something back. Buying a few properties, renting them to lower income people, and really working with them when they're struggling might not be efficient/scalable with my little 7 figure windfall, but being able to make and see a direct impact really makes me quite happy.
Can anyone recommend a, “as a tenant, these are your rights in jurisdiction X”?
Ah yes, Laudanum, good example of the same phenomena. Apparently it was a pill in 1618!

I'm also reminded of Rolling Stones 1965 "Mother's Little Helper" which was about women and prescription pills:

When people say they don’t like electric stoves, what they are saying is that they don’t like the PROCESS of cooking on an electric stove, and hence the results are not as good
Lol, yeah the first time I attempted it, someone got so frustrated they posted an expletive laden issue on the repo. There’s some real latitude to go wrong here!
> Your logic makes no sense. Make laws requiring landlords to properly vent gas stoves, not ban them altogether.

Read the article. Health concerns are an issue, buy they are not the reason why New York is banning natural gas in new constructions.
Thank you - hopefully it's not lost on you that this also actually qualifies as an entry in the list :-)

It sounds like people don't like videos with ads, sponsors, plugs for patreon or overly long fluff. So those videos will no longer get made and instead other videos will. I'm sorry that your style of video seems to be becoming less popular for you personally, but it sounds like the future videos being made will be better for me.
15 years of experience in web development. And I'm a tech leader but still have a hard time to understand Amazon S3 docs.
This would be great in a market in which people looking for housing have power of choice. Too many times you're renting whatever is available in the area you need to live in at the price you can afford, and the landlord's ratings will have little to no weight on the final decision.
It's annoying and sometimes demeaning and often tactical when managers use it.

In docs it can be annoying when there's assumed knowledge and skills.

And it adds nothing except to indicate how another may find the activity--why bother adding it?

Simply improve your docs, people.
How so? Also, which states have strong tenant's rights?
It's interesting that the Maroon 5 reps approached Primary Wave pre-emptively as they knew the melody was too close to a Bob Marley classic.

A band that might have really benefited from this approach would be The Verve in the UK. "Bittersweet Symphony" in 1997 was a worldwide hit, but they made £0 from it as the majority of royalties had to be paid to the Rolling Stones' label as the iconic melody was a rework of 1965's "The Last Time".

In 2019, Jagger and Richards gave the publishing royalty rights back the Verve -- 11 years after the band broke up.
At this point, Julia is being used on ASML's lithography machines. it's pretty deployable.

I'm not sure where you are getting the idea of frequent breaking releases. the language has been pretty stable since 1.0 in 2018 (as in almost all code that worked on 1.0 still works now). (there are some very minor breaking changes in minor releases, but Julia breaks a lot less things per release than python or C).
I agree on some premisces, but not all. I do not think your sex/hormones/whatever influence if you do it positively or negatively.

It's either the nature of what you're competing in, or how is it viewed by the society at large. Not sure which yet, I haven't thought enough about it.

My two main non-work, non tabletop activities are now windsurfing and rock climbing, two activities that are split roughly 70-30 male/female. We compete the same.

This is a bit unrelated, but does anyone know how Waterloo became one of the best schools for Math/CS in Canada? I'm from Canada myself and almost went to Waterloo, and its always been a bit weird that Waterloo, a school that isn't really known for anything, doesn't have a long history, and is located in a random town unconnected to large firms, banks, and/or other universities (like the Bay area) has become so good for CS. Does anyone know the history behind it?

I have the lower sex drive in my relationships and experience a concomitant pressure to have sex when I don't want to. I'll often say yes to avoid a fight, avoid upsetting my partner or to stop them from nagging me. This has never seemed like a big deal to me although it is sometimes a nuisance. How does this square with your PoV? Is it rape? Maybe it doesn't count as "real" pressure?

I'm not trying to minimize the issue or trip you up here. There is obviously enough coercive and violent SA taking place for it to be a major social issue no matter how broad the definition is. I'm trying to figure out how pressure as a sufficient condition for rape squares with the lived experience of people like myself who do frequently feel pressure to have sex.
>What I wonder is: Why is this so personal?

Looking at example given at this page, before the edit -- it looks like whoever wrote the library is being proud of this little trick they just invented. Look, look, mailer is just another kind of a view! Appreciate how neat it is that we don't invent another high-level concept but reuse existing stuff in a slightly different way. This is personal. Example on the right skips this part and focuses on how to use things.

Being proud of "this little trick we invented" is good ofc, but maybe it's place is in a conference talk or into video of something. Maybe whoever is reading the doc is not your mom and doesn't care right now.

It's a bit of a cultural shift from a community of cool people showing cool stuff to each other to more "it's just a job" kind of attitude. If you aren't there to appreciate clever tricks, it's just noise.
People in this world have preferences just like you do, but not about the environment.

> They were shocked when I told them I would cover the cost of their relocation expenses while the repairs occurred.

Assuming you’re in the United States you would’ve been legally required to do this anyways.

The bar really is set on the floor.
Valid point, but we are talking about those very victims you are worried about insulting here. Girls who were physically forced to have sex.

And to reply to those who say that boys are also raped, yes. But only 4% of males reported that.
After hearing decades of rent vs buy financial debates and arguments about equity, interest, etc, the strongest factor in my decision to buy has surprisingly turned out to be “90% of the landlord’s I’ve had have been either bad or terrible and I can’t deal with it anymore”.
this is the hardest of all. When it comes to men's day, indeed all day is celebration of 20% higher salaries that men receive in average.

OTOH, introducing men's day sounds fair as then everyone is treated equally (in this aspect)

I really don't know which side of this particular debate we should support more. What I'm sure is that the topic is more delicate and complicated than having a one-sentence answer to it.
