> If I meet a partner at 40, when we start really getting old and annoyed, what am I going to hold on to?

> How lucky I am to be her 23rd partner?

You're raising a few different things here and it's hard to see what you're really concerned about, because I don't think it's the matter of divorce rates vs number of sexual partners.

If you're worried you can't find a long-term partner in your late-30s, then don't be - it's possible and tbh from personal experience dating in my 30s has been much more relaxed and chilled out than in my 20s. When you find someone will you have memories of being together stretching way back 'til your teens? Nope, but that's not necessary for happiness at all, it's one aspect of some people's relationships and not all relationships need to look alike. You'll have a different story that's unique and interesting in its own way.

If you're upset about the idea of being with someone who has been with 20+ men or women before you, then you need to work on your insecurities. How promiscuous either of you were at any time before you met will have no bearing on that whatsoever, if you are committed to each other.

It sounds a bit like you regret or resent not already being married or in a long-term relationship already if I'm honest, and are reflecting and looking around for some answers or some justifications. If that's the case then I'd suggest trying not to do that, you'll not help your own situation and you could end up going down a dark path, making yourself feel worse or being less likely to find someone.

I think it’s a jab at poor compatibility with 3rd party monitors.
This is a fantastic rundown of some very confusing events, thank you.
I think a lot of other folks elsewhere throughout comments are right when they say more overt sex, rather than anodyne “sexiness”, just doesn’t have much of a place anymore in (western, at least) movies now. Everyone has a device in their pocket that can instantly deliver you whatever kind of sex you care to see.
You know what they say, most of the volume of a high-dimensional orange is in the skin. The average person is very rare.

BMI is best for populations since it's so easy to calculate from easily and frequently collected data. For an individual, you can fairly easily get more accurate measures to predict whatever it is you want to predict.

If you think, that's bad, look at C/C++ standardization bodies, where stuff is eternally blocked because ABI compatibility.

Problem is lots of implementation things are vying for inclusion. And many thing people want aren't safe or block/are blocked by possible future changes.

For example default/named arguments were blocked by ambiguity in parsing when it comes to type ascription iirc. And not having default arguments makes adding allocator quite more cumbersome.

Plus Rust maintainers are seeing some common patterns and are trying to abstract over them - like keyword generics/ effect system. If they don't hit right abstraction now, things will be much more harder later. If they over abstract, its extremly hard to remove it.

Slowness of stabilizing never type (!) and specializations has to do with the issues they cause mainly unsoundness and orphan rules issues, iirc I haven't checked them in a while.

Not everything that makes you uncomfortable or embarrassed about your state is a conspiracy theory. Sometimes the state really does commit crimes on its populace, and in this particular case - where there's smoke, there's fire.

Good old times nostalgia is human nature. But less acceptable when it is for times you yourself haven't lived in. That's just "I was born too late" which is quite pathetic imho. But what does this have to do with the article? You're just talking about your love life anxieties, which I guess we all have, but it's out of place here.
> Maybe because you are comparing r-rated action movies with super hero film made by disney.

Yes, but that's an artistic and commercial choice in and of itself. Why? One argument is the making of movies for export to China and India, with their censorship, encourages making a sort of internationally compliant pre-censored film.

But the argument doesn't hinge on graphicness; you don't have to be R-rated to imply sexual chemistry. It's one of the things that "pre-code" 1930s movies were good at - and of course got slapped down by American "voluntary" censors for. You don't have to _show_ anything to imply that two characters had sex offscreen, or even that they desire one another.

I would argue that something similar has happened to the Hays code slapdown. The 1980s movies were particularly "objectifying" in their treatment of sex. It was very much a time when female characters were often (not always!) only there for their bodies to be a reward for the male hero and the (male) audience.

(big exception for Sarah Connor in Terminator, of course)

So in the 21st century we've internalised that that was a bad, reductive way to handle sexual relations. But we've failed to _replace_ it with a new set of cinema conventions, or original characters, instead preferring to duck the issue entirely.
I've seen a lot about porkbun lately and they somehow seem to be the de facto option among HN folks.

Currently I am thinking of focusing on AWS route 53 domains under the assumption that there is always a non-zero chance of needing something else on AWS so it reduces the number of accounts/IAM (either 1 or 0 versus guaranteed 1). Anyone have their favorite reasons to go with porkbun instead?
Many people do. And even if they don't, charing a car every day if you don't have a charger at home or office will be very painful.
Imagine that you have to tank theICE car every day, even this would have been irritating.

Veles – A tool for binary analysis (2018)
Quite close to the opening plot of "We Are Legion (We Are Bob)":

Bob Johansson has just sold his software company and is looking forward to a life of leisure. There are places to go, books to read, and movies to watch. So it's a little unfair when he gets himself killed crossing the street.

Bob wakes up a century later to find that corpsicles have been declared to be without rights, and he is now the property of the state. He has been uploaded into computer hardware and is slated to be the controlling AI in an interstellar probe looking for habitable planets. The stakes are high: no less than the first claim to entire worlds. If he declines the honor, he'll be switched off, and they'll try again with someone else. If he accepts, he becomes a prime target. There are at least three other countries trying to get their own probes launched first, and they play dirty.

The safest place for Bob is in space, heading away from Earth at top speed. Or so he thinks. Because the universe is full of nasties, and trespassers make them mad - very mad.

As long as you can avoid people/projects that are primarily about "scaling" things, you will be fine.

Scale is what reveals the limitions of our 3 inch chimp brains.

Lots of things allow quick scale up these days, but issues scale up too. And our chimp brains dont scale fast enough to solve them. Tools and sytems have gotten sophisticated and complex. But the chimps will stay chimps.

"I'm 38. I date in my age group. Which means both of us are dating people that have been sleeping with others for two decades"

>If I somehow messed up in my judgement and "gave it up" to the wrong person, I'd totally be fine with someone else valuing me less or even not considering me as a potential partner.

Wow, I would hate to be in your head, to have your own self-worth so bound up in the number of partners you have or haven't had.

> No, without your assumptions this thread does not reek of double standards.

It really, really does. The same poster is talking about dating college-aged girls until relatively recently, and tells us that he considers them promiscuous, clearly values women by the number of partners they have had, and views them as a financial drain to be put up with only if they're pure enough. It's pretty old-school, judging of women for who and how many they slept with, and placing the value of his relationship with them on that.

> just because it has incomparably sharper image and no issues with refresh flickering.

You probably had an extremely bad CRT, but got a very good LCD monitor. Typically, the situation would've been the exact opposite of yours. Early LCDs were incapable of supporting high refresh rates of high-end CRTs (that's why for a long time people in e-sports were using CRTs). Also, the physical "pixels" of best LCD monitors were still bigger than those of CRTs. This is what eventually resulted in OTF fonts adoption with a lot of trickery in sub-pixel interpolation... which sucked a lot when it just started, and still sucks, but not as much.

I wonder if it's the same wind whistling sound effect I've been hearing repeatedly since the 90's!

I think I first heard it in a very early game I played.

I'm going to say Ultima, but potentially Diablo.

I distinctly remember being stuck in a part of the game where my character was on a dock or sea shore type area and the wind sound just kept repeating over and over while I figured out how to get past that point.

Then over the years, I've noticed it in so many movies and other games etc.

You hear the initial wind noise, which quickly transitions into a curve that peaks up and down, a short gap of silence and then a second quieter part where the sound curves down and trails off.

I'd love it if there was a similar history I could learn about on it!

Edit: Amazingly, I've just managed to find the exact part of the game I was thinking of [0]

We can see the relative motion of galaxies up to the edge of the observable universe from their red shift. So we know they were all 'in one place' 13 bn years ago. It also means we know what the distribution of initial vectors must have been in this scenario for these galaxies.

So either the conventional view is correct and it's space that has expanded moving the galaxies further apart. This is consistent with a potentially infinite universe. Alternatively all the galaxies we can see were clustered together in a tight lump 13bn years ago and flew apart.

If the latter is the case the origin point would still be visible to us. As long as our initial random velocity was below the speed of light, we would always still be able to see light coming to us from the area of the origin point. With a random initial velocity distribution the fastest half of galaxies would be spread over a volume 4x bigger than that of the slowest half of galaxies. That means galaxy density in th direction of the origin point would be something like 4x higher that it is in directions away from the origin point. But as far as we can tell galaxy and galaxy cluster distribution is even.

Then there's the cosmic microwave background. If this is the after glow of the big bang, we wouldn't see it. All the radiation would have spread out in a shell at the speed of light. So we'd need tome other explanation for the CMB and why it happens to have all the exact characteristics we predicted for a big bang after glow.
Well, information warfare is warfare by analogy, not actual warfare. It’s useful, so could be a motive of a kind…

But if you think Lyme was developed as a weapon of information warfare, what’s your argument? To induce fear and terror, I think it doesn’t necessarily have to be fast, but it needs to be terrible and, to some extent, inexorable. Lyme, as something that’s mild and easy to treat is neither.

No, it's not badly made, GP seems to be a huge exception. Please, read the full comment...

My M1 Air has been around since launch, have traveled with it just throwing inside bags, dropped a few times, sat on, etc., it still works 100% fine without any part swap, and looks almost pristine with just a tiny scratch on one of the edges from a drop.
Thanks for the great article.

Hex 2 RGBA – Quickest Way to Convert Hex to RGBA
"2-5x times slower" can mean the difference from 2 seconds to 4 to 10 seconds. Two seconds is still (barely) acceptable for interactive usage, ten seconds: not so much. You're also going to need less beefy servers, or fewer servers.

I also "just" use PostgreSQL for all of this by the way, but the limitations are pretty obvious. You're much more limited in what you can query with good performance, unless you start creating tons of queries or pre-computed data and such, which have their own trade-offs. Columnar DBs are "overhyped" in the sense that everything in programming seems to be, but they do exist for good reasons (the reason I don't use it are because they also come with their own set of downsides, as well as just plain laziness).

My biggest challenge as a full stack engineer is working with people who are deathly afraid of this technology. Many developers are overpaid and simultaneously not prepared to do work in this technology, at least not directly without tremendous amounts of help from otherwise unnecessary abstractions.

If you can figure out how to solve that problem without some toy bullshit like yet another framework.... $$$$ billions. Its a people problem. Good luck.
> Are these frustrations, ever so real, increasing every day? More complexity, more hype bubbles, more solutions looking for problems to solve.

I'm a 25-year-old SWE with 5 YoE and would like to bring in a different perspective here. In my first jobs, I had to deal with legacy systems, most of them being 10 to 12 years old back then (so roughly as old as your career). The tooling in these projects were kept at a minimum: SVN or no version control at all, no infrastructure as code, no containerization – in some projects not even virtualization but just a central development server where you would deploy your source files via FTP.

Day-to-day work was simple and productive because there was no local development environment to set up, no merge conflicts to resolve, no outdated versions to update, no RBAC problems to deal with, no weirdly-behaving containers to kill, just a server and your code. This worked great ...

... until it didn't. 12 years of unversioned configuration changes in production servers, unreproducible development and production environments, unreproducible and unversioned database schemas, black-box database triggers that are in no repository but just on the server, un-atomic deployments leaving a dirty state when the FTP upload fails, black-box DNS configurations, unreliable batch processing via FTP instead of actual APIs, no insights into OS metrics for developers because only the ops department can access them, ops who don't understand what devs need and vice versa, undocumented CI/CD processes, ... The list of deficiencies when your level of tooling is on the other side of the spectrum is just as long, and some of these guys messed up pretty badly.

To me, one core competence of a developer is to find a proper balance. Keeping things as simple as possible, but also as reliable, reproducible and transparent as possible. Believing in innovation, but not falling for every shiny new thing. And always keeping in mind that even if you go for the easy-to-get-started solution, the debt might be due a decade later.
Let's be adults here. When we are talking about a quality of monitor, we are talking about colors, refresh rate, precision etc. Form factor is one of the least important metrics.

Don't even try to pretend they are somehow comparable in terms of quality. It's making an argument for the sake of making an argument. It's like claiming that fast-food may be better in quality than home-cooked food because it's faster to "cook".
Well done for the weight loss. Also funny, I'm quite overweight (a bit lighter than your current weight) and one of the reason I want to get back in shape is because my flirting experience has been dire and non-existent. To be fair, I am not completely in favour of body positivity [1], I wouldn't date myself at this weight, so it's also a me problem.

I guess it's all relative :-)

> just action, comedy, horror - yet every director felt obliged to add a pinch of sex everywhere

I can't find references to this, but there certainly have been situations in horror movies where nudity was added simply to up the rating, in case audiences felt that a non-r-rated horror movie was going to be inadequate.

I've also seen scenes and indeed entire films where I got the strong impression that the sole purpose was to get the lead actress naked so the director could see her. (non-nude example: the foot scene in Tarantino's Dusk Till Dawn)
But by that logic it is also the worst.

And with the rise of video and amateur porn, you can in fact have a easy look what other people are doing and if you are maybe missing something.
>Are there EV skeptics? I don't think so.

Lots of them. They're really gaining traction in the UK (where I live) - so much so that I hear compete b****s every day about EVs, and I'm tired of hearing it. I'm on my phone so can't type all the examples but essentially I've heard every advantage of them being said to be untrue, and that ice cars are better for the environment, etc.

The right wing press in this country has a lot to answer for.
> I do however think BMI has its flaws and that those flaws are pretty significant when it comes to assessing individual health.

While this is not untrue, I don't understand why people single out BMI as a measure to criticise. No measure is perfect, or even particularly good in many cases, and yet it's BMI that gets it.
Oh sorry, I was talking about the "young developers are encouraged to work long hours part" not the after birth care.
I don't think there's enough data to argue that prosperous societies are the end state of capitalism because we still don't know if most economies can survive the demographic transition that industrialization produces.

Maybe low birth rates put the whole world into stagflation. Maybe they don't. Maybe low birth rates lead to a return of imperialism and mass war. It's in the uncertain future.
