In the nineties I joined a men's group retreat where we circled up and listened to each other's struggles, gave lots of support, and lots of hugs. Then we did some consciousness raising around circumcision and it's barbarity. We took our cue from the Feminist movement. They were getting their shit together and so could we. Gary Snyder read his gorgeous nature poetry, Peter Berg sold us on a green cities concept that would make our urban areas more livable.

Later, the monstrosity called the "manosphere" completely gutted our movement and turned it into a grievance fest against feminism. They stole our issues but instead of working on them, they weaponized them against feminists, especially against us feminist men. Domestic violence by and against men, paternal rights, genital mutilation, psych support, male fragility and toxic aspects of traditional masculinity, etc. But then they never did anything about any of these problems but bitch and bash feminists with them. As if it's womens' job to clean up our mess.

Step one to improving the situation for men is to destroy the right-wing MRM. "Let men be men again!" is the cry of the regressive who sees the problems and plugs his hears screaming "Naaaaaah!" No progress is possible from that position. If you bother to look, the MRM does absolutely nothing to confront the problems men face in this world. Why? They don't want to. They do not care about men's problems, they only care about protecting men's ability to rape, dominate, and abuse.

Take a look at this thread. For so many commenters their problem is with acknowledging the problems. Pointing out the toxic aspects of traditional masculinity is seen as an attack rather than an attempt at resolving the issues. How the hell are things supposed to improve if we can't acknowledge problems or ally with the movement [feminism] that did the first work to outline such problems? Feminists have been pointing out toxicity of the "man up" attitude for decades. So have queers. Feminists and queer men are natural allies in this struggle to improve men's lives. But we've let proto-fascists hijack the conversation.

My greatest fear is that reactionary men join across class and race lines to form a united front for fascism. That's certainly the goal of the MRM. We must stop them. Let's go back to a Men's movement that forms alliances, rather than buries heads in the sand.

If we did that, we could have men's domestic violence shelters, an ACLU for paternal rights, education policy makers that tackle bullying and lack of emotional support for men, and so much more. But we don't because too many are lured in by propagandists who would gladly destroy democracy to protect the status quo.

US Congresswoman Claims She's Being Spied on Through Her TV
Diablo IV is the fastest selling game in Blizzard history. So if microtransactions are a deal-breaker for players, I don’t see the evidence of that. I don’t care for microtransactions and I don’t care to play the game, but they are a legitimate way to make money and lots of players are fine with them.

I’m sure lots of people would be happy (and prefer) for the game to be free, but that doesn’t make charging a retail price illegitimate, despite the cost contributing nothing to the gameplay. I fail to see how this reasoning does not extend to microtransactions, which are merely smaller prices charged for content through an in-game (rather than retail) store.
So like Windows Group Policy?
Great questions, atm the index contains either companies that have their main products as open-source, or companies that make significant contributions (eg: Netflix, Cloudflare, OpenAI have thousands of Github stars).

All jobs should be remote-friendly. There's nothing to do - if you see the jobs, they should be relevant to you.

Some companies do have physical offices (meaning you're welcome to work from there), and those cities are listed if you click on the company's name. Right now it's region-biased per country -- if you scroll to the bottom and click "more" you can change the country. There's def still work to do (visas, non-remote, fine-tuning, etc).
I think part of the issue is the misunderstanding men have in terms of what a "nice guy" actually is.

If a man is told by a heterosexual woman he's not in a relationship with that he's a nice guy, he should take that to mean she's not attracted to him. But this is confusing because the majority of men's advice about women comes from women, and the messaging they've received is that they should be a "nice guy." And being nice at a surface level is antithetical to things like assertion, which is a quality many women look for in men. Until the advent of YouTube, my impression and experience is that elder men have failed to teach men anything useful about how to interact with women, including what it means to be nice. I know of no men my age in real life that received any wisdom from their fathers besides "wear a condom."

So called "nice guys" are treated like trash, not because they're nice, but often the opposite. If a man is a pushover, lacks confidence, doesn't seem like he knows what he wants out of life, and is willingly subordinate to women, but he is superficially very nice, that signals that his behavior comes from immaturity or to get laid. Women do actually like guys who are nice, but a scant number of them are into men who lack a spine or need women in order to feel complete. A man can be nice but also be assertive, confident, and not be needy.

And sure, plenty of women are into bad boys, but that's their prerogative, and a man may not want to be with those women anyway.

Farting out a quick one line answer is a boring comment
And Diablo 2 was riddled with cheaters and duplicated items, which ruined the online game for all.

It's just not a viable option in 2023, with modern expectations from players.

Escape from Tarkov was put in the spotlight a few months ago because some Youtuber investigated rampant cheating, and it literally killed the game pretty much instantly.

In a day and age where internet is considered as a basic commodity, there's no reason to open the door to cheaters for rarely needed convenience.

Style of communication matters. There are different modes of interaction and being a caregiver/care-receiver is one of them that doesn't mix well with being desired sexually. You can, however, switch between modes. This is in fact the basis behind the therapeutic approach of Transactional Analysis:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transactional_analysis

Personally I've encountered the thing you've described, and think where it went wrong was falling into a persistent parent/child dynamic instead of returning to an adult/adult one. I'm a bit wiser now and can confirm that once you recognise the modes you're falling into, you can shed the (toxic) ideas like "nice guys finish last" and start having deeper relationships.

> CPUs deteriorating over time due to heating

I might be wrong, but AFAIK this is not a thing within the usual timescales.
I've had the same experience at the big tech company I worked at.

I expressed these frustrations to upper management and the explanation I was given was that for many of these big companies, their goal is to grow their 1,000 sub-businesses to 10 million ARR businesses each. Growing these 10 million ARR units to 100 million ARR is much more difficult than going from 0 to 10 million, and so when they have a successful unit, they disproportionally reinvest that success into the poor performers (the 0-2 million ARR units).

This felt backwards and unfair to me as an engineer on the teams that worked hard to get to the 10 million mark. It really sucked seeing my team lose headcount or engineers to less successful and poorly designed/managed projects. But from a business perspective on the larger scale I see why they do it - I just think it creates a poor engineering culture and, in the long-term, a sub-par customer experience because velocity in product development slows when projects are de-invested or put into KTLO.
I used to say this (when asked about my Perl skills):

"In terms of the whole world? I'm probably a 5-6 out of 10. In terms of people in finance, I'm probably a 8 out of 10."

And I put it this way to show:
- I'm not a Perl guru
- I also know, roughly, the spectrum of Perl skills in my industry
- I'm therefore closer to the upper end for my role + industry match
Apologies for the confusion! Maybe an interesting idea for us to explore next :P
That's true actually. I put the "toxic masculinity" bit in a different pigeonhole to the whole "what women should be like". I can see an analogy.

One difference is that, I get the impression it's actually women doing a lot of not most of the "too fat/too skinny" bit. Sure, boys/men can be horrible to girls/women but tend not to get hung up on details. The details of "too slutty" etc seems to come from women, peer female friends, women's magazines etc.

In that respect I guess it's different, because it's a narrower critique. And it's, hmm, self-inflicted for lack of better word. Whereas with boys, it seems to come from women all around, and woke men too. Girls won't be told by their teachers (you'd hope!) that they are too fat or too skinny, but it's open season to tell boys they have a flawed nature they will have to spend the rest of their lives fixing.
The London Review of Books had a pretty damning article on McKinsey and management consultancy: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33869800

"One gets the sense that Bogdanich and Forsythe think the consultants they write about are rotten apples, but the barrel is sound. Their own material makes clear, however, that all the services often spoken of as merely helping businesses and government departments run more efficiently – management consulting, audit, software development – are in fact focused on enabling capitalists to enrich themselves further without the inconvenient interference of workers, taxpayers or regulation. Thanks to the hegemonic model McKinsey and other management consultants invented, these firms not only make and remake businesses and government in the image of their laissez-faire fantasies, but see homo economicus as the last word in modern selfhood."

Sharing your struggles doesn't make you weak. Asking for help doesn't make you weak. You are struggling, and you look for help because you are in a situation where the challenge is beyond your means. Sharing and asking for help can be part of adaption and part of overcoming.

If one man has the resources within themselves to eventually learn to adapt and overcome to any situation, imagine how much stronger and how quickly you can become strong by combining the resources and understanding of many men.

Sharing your struggles and asking for help is NOT the same thing as "standing around crying about their struggles".

With audio and video embeddings, this might be automatable now. Embed, say, 10s snippets of both movies & looped-albums, and then treat it as a dynamic programming problem to find minimum total distances summed over the length of the movie.
is it common to roadmap features your team can’t deliver at their current size? that sounds like a problem.

also, the team that takes on the most work but does it poorly getting the promotions and bonuses also sounds like a problem.

both of those thing aren’t problems with developers though—theyre management problems.

i would interpret the moral as bad management leads to sub-optimal outcomes for developers. not advocating correctly for headcount, and not showcasing the high quality work your team does are literally what your manager should be doing.
I think the "absentee father" issue would be easy to address: have the courts stop favoring mothers as custodial parents in divorces.

Of the divorced couples I know with children, the mothers were awarded custody in every single case, often over the strenuous objections of the fathers and other family members like grandparents (and in one case, even in the face of documented abuse by the mother).

I feel like studies on the effect of children who grow up with a missing parent need to somehow control for couples who split because of mental health issues. Otherwise, it's studying not the effect of the absent parent, but the effect of the behaviors of the parent who was granted custody, and some of those behaviors may strongly correlate with not being able to maintain a marriage or other partnership.
75% of Gen Z doesn't even qualify to join the US military from obesity and drug use.

The problem are the business agrements that they are putting in place, like with Sitecore where now Vercel/Next.js are the bless way to do CMS frontends, with .NET being left behind.

So it is either Vercel/Next.js with the out-of-the-box development experience, or DIY integration with other stacks that are also "supported".

Same for a human brain, or heart, whether pumping or not. Comment based on seeing a NatGeo photo of a human brain (not a diagram), and a real human heart in the hand of a medical student friend of mine, at his college exhibition.

The brain photo grossed me out more than the real heart; don't know why. :)

Edit: the heart didn't gross me out at all, actually.

Girls, on the other hand, get told their body is flawed. Gotta constantly be on a diet, and spend like an hour a day on beauty stuff.

There’s something similar about:

the Web2 revolution of Uber, AirBNB etc.

the Web3 revolution of exchanges, memecoins, etc.

the AI revolution of ChatGPT, Diffusion, etc.

Namely that they claim that, by using a new type of technology to organize information, they are not subject to the previous protections and regulations that made things expensive. They can cut costs for the consumer, but also remove all the protections that were in place for producers.

It is, in a way, the tech industry’s embrace of unregulated capitalism and cutting things down to one engineer per million users - to enrich shareholders, perhaps at the expense of wider society’s “productive” class.

The result is interesting because it is more efficient afterwards and better for the consumer. But the producers are basically exploited … Amazon wage slaves, the gig economy, the many people thanklessly reviewing problematic posts, and in this case the armies of “human grunts” labeling things so the software can seem “more magic”.

Decades ago when I was getting started there was a team that fell way behind and everyone on the team worked weekends and many days until midnight and finally delivered some buggy arguable product 6 months late. They were hailed as heroes. No one even noticed me and my team delivering on time. I learned a valuable and entirely inapplicable lesson.
> The fact that a deepfake can humiliate and shame a woman and even cause her to lose her job and friends exposes a problem in our society that I feel is at least as problematic as that which would cause someone to create the deepfake in the first place.

I agree wholeheartedly.

There is no reason for naked human body to be considered shameful, regardless of the gender. Reasons for such beliefs are usually based on either keeping up the status quo, or some archaic or religious belief in "dirtiness" of sexuality (except in the restricted case approved by the said tradition/religion).
Car insurance is mostly to cover damage to other people/cars if you run into them. Emergency services being called to say clear burning wrecks off the motorway is still mostly on the taxpayer.

Any exercise is much much better than sitting around for hours researching and reading articles about which exercise would be best.

According to reader mode this article is about 10 minutes long so instead of reading it, go for a walk.
> They have been struggling to deliver even though the have almost twice as many engineers.

My experience tells me that they struggled because they had twice as many engineers.

I don't think I've been to a 20+ person project which could honestly be called "successful". Hard to say if it's a symptom or a cause. Personally I lean towards the former, because when someone tries to throw people at a problem they either don't know what they're doing or delivering is not their priority.

The fact they did it that way is actually a perfect example of why Google is considered so far ahead of competitors technologically and operationally by their engineers. When you have a powerful building block like Spanner that engineers can use, they then can work on the product instead of wasting time on brittle consistency models, custom storage layers, and providing their own uptime guarantees.

This goes for every part of their stack. As a result, things like Colossus, BigTable, and Spanner effectively act like force multipliers for their engineers, because they provide the guarantees they can't get elsewhere. The fact other people at other random companies can't do that? Not their problem in the slightest, actually.

I should add, on the journey to the evidence that finally killed the stack rank we did some interesting empirical work. This was in collaboration with an organisation that actually became part of the dreaded firm.

Still, it was good stuff. In F1 racing you have a unique opportunity to study employee performance empirically. Why? Well - every year there's a new car. The components that get on the new car get on it because of an empirical process. If your team can lighten something, create more drag or reduce drag or increase power then your component gets on the car.

This insight allowed individual performance to be tracked. The results - well it turns out that for almost the whole workforce it's luck; future performance cannot be predicted from past performance. You screw up one year, but then the next you knock it out of the park. There was an exceptional group though. Being in the highest percentiles in successive years was strongly predictive of being in the highest percentiles for future years.

In the follow up work this was investigated and it was found that managers could reliably identify the individuals in their departments that would be in the group of "persistent out performers".

There was no similar group of low performers.
