Arguably, composing/depending on the composability of optional values is also a code smell. A Some(Some(None)) may be occasionally okay, but it is almost always better represented by an explicit type. Also, clojure can better express these in-between states, as demonstrated by the very good talk (I swear Hickey always sells me on Clojure.. I really should write something more serious in it)
It's about emotion-based cognition. I think straight guys would do well to be more insightful about how deeply entangled emotions and cognition are. Don't get me wrong, astrology is most definitely bunk. Still people can get some reflection out of it that wouldn't be available trying to be very rational and clinical about everything all the time.

> how little was devoted to the context of the pacific war and why it was desperate to build that bomb, despite that Germany was (or almost) defeated

Because then it would have been an apologetic propaganda piece. It is, in my opinion, precisely much more interesting to look into the political and organizational factors for dropping the bombs, than to whitewash the USA into the world's benevolent savior once more. Enough such movies have been made.

On the one hand, Musk was always obsessed with X, so the change may be organic.

On the other hand, a name change together with new product announcements is standard for American CEOs if they don't know what to do and have to show to their investors that they are doing something. I believe Musk has a number of Saudi investors.

> I had an argument with a girl the other day who was adamant she wanted to know my star sign.

> I told her her beliefs were akin to racism.

I get your point, and perhaps I'm miss reading your tone here, but I think you took this way too far.

I 100% get your point – I'm autistic as hell and I appreciate your logical comparison to racism because I hadn't consider this perspective before, but I think this girl was probably just trying to be friendly?

Intent is important. Someone can hold "racist" views implicitly while meaning no harm, but that's very different from a person who is racist and wishes harm based on someone's race. Calling someone "racist" is not nice and in this case seems far too strong a word given the context.

Astrology might be silly, but it's limited in harm. It's similar to religion in that most people just think of it as a way to guide and improve their lives. In a world that's increasingly irreligious Astrology is obviously going to appeal to people with a less logical, evidence based outlook on life.

My girlfriend is into Astrology. I mock her a little for it and try to explain to her why it's silly, but I think she feels like it gives her some level of control over things in her life that would otherwise feel random.

But more importantly, she's not like me. She doesn't think about this stuff in depth or care if all of her views are logically consistent. I don't even think she denies what I'm saying when I point out how stupid Astrology is, I just don't think it matters to her like it does to me. A lot of people are like this.

I guess I think it's fine to question Astrology and even mock it a little, but calling people racist and bigoted for believing in it is just cruel and unnecessary.

I guess it wouldn't matter, a lot of the human experience is dogmatic. It's not necessarily wrong to experience life through minor misunderstandings, especially ones that make life more bearable. I am a little jealous of people who believe they go to heaven for one example. The experience of their entire life may be enriched by that, whereas I gain nothing by not believing in it.

Well, I also do similar kind of judgement. I.e. if someone is seriously religious, flat earth believing or ghost worshiping etc, then I would just assume they... have many things to left learn.

But often as I encountered it, some individual is also too cute to be treated rudely. This is a bit of dilemma, really. Because if you share what you've learned, then no matter how respectful you tried to make it look, they might still switch to defense mode and spoil the feelings.

So, the real question is, if a really cute girl that you like smiling in front of you, and she asks your "star type" (or "constellation"), what would you really do at that spot?

(BTW, you probably don't want to answer G, because I guess it's not hot enough. I'll try A next time)
One upside to a plotter is you can work with different media, both in terms of materials (e.g. chalk or paint) but also what you are plotting on to. For example, you can put certain types of marker in and draw directly on to glass or ceramic tile which might have some interest in terms of making gifts.
I'm not going to argue with your clear reference but I will reference this article: https://askabiologist.asu.edu/questions/birds-dinosaurs-rept... which adds a bit of useful context.

It’s a complicated problem that requires many things to address. There are numerous studies on it. But criminalization is one of the least helpful things you can do. At every stage, criminalization makes it worse. It adds violence to the drug trade. It leads to an unsafe supply. It prevents people from seeking help in an emergency. Drug busts lead to more overdoses in the surrounding areas. It gives people a criminal history which prevents them from gaining employment, which massively reduces their chances of successful recovery. It creates a stigma, which prevents addicts from receiving the support they need to recover. Now this isn’t to say, you shouldn’t prosecute other crimes - robbery, etc., but you have to do more than just decriminalization.

That’s what SF struggles with. You need to provide addicts with a free, safe supply to stabilize the situation and prevent addicts from committing crimes to pay for their habit. Most illicit drugs are dirt cheap to produce. This would cost us a pittance. Then you need to provide support. Detox and maintenance drugs like suboxone. You need mental and physical healthcare. You need environments recovering addicts can live in, and then need to have a future. This means they need to be able to work. This is a big part. When felons can’t find work, things seem hopeless and they are very likely to relapse. We do everything we can in this country to set addicts up for failure. I honestly believe policy makers and law enforcement officials think the only good addict is a dead one. And we need a lot more research. I believe eventually, we can medically solve compulsive behaviors, but the incentives aren’t there right now.

And yes, all this would cost a lot of money. But we already pay and insane amount of money to not solve this problem. Law Enforcement consumes billions and billions. Billions of not trillions of dollars are funneled into the pockets of drug dealers. All the money lost due to adjacent criminal activity. And all the medical costs because we don’t help these people until it so bad that they are in crisis. Not to mention, you shouldn’t just ignore an epidemic because it is hard or expensive.

The problem in America is that we don’t want to address it. We don’t like to help people with “ugly” medical problems. We only like the good patients. Anyone with a disease that causes adverse social behaviors need to “help themselves”. Or at least they shouldn’t be allowed to be visible, even if it means they have to die.

You're overlooking the war in the Pacific. Hitler hoped that Japan would keep the US busy, and wanted a free hand to attack lend lease shipping. US Atlantic supply was key to keeping the UK and USSR alive and fighting. The UK shipped Churcill tanks via the Arctic convoy. The US sent Shermans, Jeeps and much infra. All key to the eventual victory at Stalingrad.

Aside from the Deleware Chancery, the world had everything you described long before the notion of the "social contract" was presented as a formal political theory by Hobbes.

Also, the bit about warlords isn't a reasonable comment. The rich tech/ VC guys you speak of are in no more or less of a position to establish a dystopia, than Washington and the Continental Congress (many of whom were merchants and traders) were during and after the Revolutionary War.
> Without significant training on the path there is no way for you to tell what is bs and what is the true deep stuff. I don’t really get this pattern of random westerners coming into Buddhism and thinking they immediately know exactly which things the Buddha made up and which he didn’t

Why not? I just read it like any other book. When the Bhagavad Ghita says that there's nothing before and after my existence, that is true as far as I am concerned. I don't read the whole thing like a gospel nor do I think Buddha was correct on everything. He was just another person trying to make sense of things like the rest of us. When the Dhammphada says that I shouldn't dwell on emotions and that I am not my emotions; I can easily get the intuition by using the simulation hypothesis which is something that the people of old didn't have the luxury of.
I really like this. I'm an engineer, and have had to build basic versions of this internally at a previous company, and we never managed the investment to make it work nicely. This would have been a great option for us. We had an SQL database with all the data in it, and we used MJML for our emails. The only thing was that we had a fairly complex Sendgrid setup to ensure good deliverability at relatively large email scale.

However. I don't think we'd have paid for this as a SaaS service. These sorts of tools could be engineering or marketing led. We had some marketing-led tools that were fairly hands-off from engineering, but they didn't connect to our database. We happily paid for these services. However this would have been engineering led, and we'd have wanted to self-host given how it worked.

Just my 2c, but I'd either keep it engineering-targeted, open source it, and make money on support, or change tack a bit to target at the marketing folks.

And a feature request: "linting" emails. We ended up with manual checklists for things like: do all the links resolve, do they have tracking tokens, is the plaintext preview good, is there an unsubscribe link. Linting for these would be a great productivity boost.

[...] According to Allied Market Research, the global astrology industry was valued at $12.8 billion in 2021, up considerably from $2.2 billion in 2018. By 2031, it’s expected to rise to $22.8 billion.

Same thing with tarot. These are real markets and will bloom proportionally with depression and lack of education. So when you see $22.8 billion market increase, you now know what you are actually looking at.

On the other hand, these are just 2 games, really. Think gaming industry has to produce a miriad of games to hit $300 billion. It's just they don't sell you hope, just some cheap entertainment to evade from a crappy life.

Show me 2 games worth $12 billion market share.

>While it’s true that men have body image issues, when’s the last time you’ve seen them objectified the way a woman was in this thread?

Literally any time I've seen women talk about what they like/want from men? Go take a stroll through any NSFW r/AskReddit thread, plenty to see in there from both sides of the chamber!

>Worse, men tend to refuse to believe it’s a problem, and file it in the nonsense bucket.

Concerns about body image are nearly always problems stemming from oneself. If you don't think it's a problem, it's really not a problem. Who cares if you've got a beer belly? Life's better handled lightly, women might do well to take a page.

>One of the primary roadblocks for women getting into tech is that they’re not encouraged to the same way men are.

If you need outside encouragement above and beyond to get into something, I would question if it's something suited for you at all first. Tech isn't for everyone, much like any other subject of interest.

Also, a lot of tech nerds get into tech out of their own interest and volition, and lest we forget it was only fairly recently that being a techie became cool and attractive rather than unsexy and stigmatized.

>And once they do, they constantly worry if they’re being treated specially just because they’re a woman — and if they don’t, they wonder if they would’ve gotten in if they looked just a little bit prettier.

Why does it matter so much what anyone else thinks of you as an individual? If you ask me, women bring about a lot of peer judgment upon themselves because they are so concerned about what others think of them all the time.

Men care to a far lesser degree, and consequently there simply isn't as much judging of peers to be bothered by. In its place is judging each others' character and merit, whether we can do the jobs and face the challenges presented to us. If you can do your job with excellence and make people smile, who cares if you've got a beer belly or flabby arms?

>I’m relaying this from a woman who refuses to participate on HN (for so many reasons). Men seem to like this dynamic we’ve cultivated here. I liked it myself. But those of you who care about equality should take a hard look at our behavior and how we express ourselves.

I agree that men generally prefer spaces without women to remain womenless, I'm also one of them. However, if women want to join and they can demonstrate their worth (and not destroy the space, which is the chief concern from the men) I certainly won't stop them.

Some women also seem to take pride in creating women-only spaces to counteract certain notions of patriarchy, which is honestly the kettle calling the pot black and doesn't resolve anything.

We do "ban" restaurants that sell to consumers while failing to take the proper precautions in the storage and handling of food.

When selling to consumers, the proper precautions for the storage and handling of milk is to pasteurise it.
Yes, but it is that way because these stories are what people want to buy movie tickets for.
That summarization includes a video I hadn’t seen before where Calhoun explains the results in his own words and mentions the case of the Ik tribe which I didn’t know about:

> [00:01:55] at least one human group, the Ik tribe discovered in Africa by dr. Colin Turnbull (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ik_people#The_Mountain_People) has gone through a similar terrible process according to dr. Calhoun: the two conditions that they went through was that there was a decision on the then colonial government to make a wildlife preserve of this big valley which was their home as they are hunter-gatherers, they moved them up onto the mountainside and gathered together in much higher densities, they had been spread out small groups, all placed in one place and also required to engage entirely different way of life, which their social roles, the whole… everything they had learned how to do had no meaning. Under those conditions the social behavior broke down. Entirely they began living… they still live together but their activities was just directed towards themselves, everything you would think is human disappeared.
Because the book literally says that you don’t have the training or insight to decide what is true or false in it. An explicitly laid out aspect of Buddhism is that you can’t tell yet. Sure you can ignore that part if you want to feel like you know what’s right, but the Buddha already saw people do this to much failure and gave teachings to try and prevent it

Nope, I am firmly with Joe here on this one. The installer is the first major pain point new OpenBSD users are likely to encounter, and especially partitioning is weird, cryptic, and downright unhelpful.

In real life OS testing and evaluation, I don't get to dedicate whole machines to any OS. No OS is that special, that important, or that versatile.

I always dual-boot because that often uncovers weaknesses and assumptions in installers... just as the OpenBSD devels encourage people to fail hard, the OpenBSD installer itself fails hard in a multi-boot scenario.

Example, to recreate if you are curious enough:

0. Set up a new PC (or VM, it doesn't matter.)

1. Install Windows (say, v10 as it's easy.)

2. Add a random Linux distro. For best results, have separate /, /home and swap partitions.

3. Now, try to add OpenBSD to that.

For best results, do this by directing a friend who has never used Unix through the process, over the phone so you can't see the screen. ;-)

If that's too easy, partition the disk with MBR so you have to deal with logical partitions too.

I think that the interest in Sufism comes from the fact that people interested in learning about various religions tend to be of mystical personality, in the sense that they are interestes in mystery and contemplation. This is why we (I am definitely fit this description) tend to be attracted to traditions that are mystical/contemplative in nature: Sufism, mystic Catholicism, Buddhism, Daoism...

I personally think that it is fine, as long as one respects the right for others to be attracted to other teachings.
Multiple accounts don’t help when you’re moving money, because you need to trust that you’re moving money to the right person, and verifying even a single account is difficult.
