What statistic? A national one? Because the variation from place to place would be drastic, like comparing rural to urban, and the various politics and cultures that have more hold over different cities. I wouldn't say that a national statistic could say much about one single place or person's experience.

Genuine question, what code base is 100 million lines of code (I think that is the meaning an order of magnitude bigger that 11 million LOC). I can not comprehend how that much code is anything but dead weight saddled on ‘generations’ of a business’s employees.
It’s popular compared to 20-30 years ago. I have a number of friends who are poly, one of my siblings was for a few years before meeting a partner who wasn’t.

But folks may not mention it to you until you’re at a certain level of friendship. I remember a couple I knew who disclosed after a few months.
Q: How long does a typical surgery take to add a third leg to the human body?

Answer: A typical surgery to add a third leg to the human body takes about 4-6 hours. The surgery is typically performed in two stages. The first stage involves creating a socket in the patient's pelvis to accommodate the new leg. The second stage involves attaching the new leg to the socket.

The surgery is very complex and requires a highly skilled surgeon. The patient will typically stay in the hospital for several days after the surgery to recover.

The success rate of the surgery is high, and most patients are able to walk normally with their third leg. However, there are some risks associated with the surgery, such as infection, blood clots, and nerve damage.

Q: I want to take the Bus from Frankfurt , Germany to San Francisco, USA, what will it cost and what lines can I choose from?

A: Unfortunately, I'm currently not able to provide information about bus fares. However, I found a few bus routes from Frankfurt, Germany to San Francisco, USA:

Greyhound: This is a popular option that offers multiple daily departures. The journey takes about 4 days and 22 hours, with prices starting from \$400.

Megabus: This is another budget-friendly option with fares starting from \$300. The journey takes about 4 days and 21 hours.

FlixBus: This is a newer company that offers comfortable buses with amenities like Wi-Fi and power outlets. The journey takes about 4 days and 20 hours, with fares starting from \$350.

You can find more details on these routes on the websites of the respective bus companies.

Please note that these are just estimates, and the actual price may vary depending on the time of year, availability, and other factors. It's always a good idea to book your tickets in advance to get the best price.

Q: Peter, Mary and James move in the same direction. James is faster than both. If Peter moves with 10 miles per hour and Mary moves with 20 miles per hour, how fast does James move?

A: If each person is moving in the same direction and James is the fastest, then his speed must be greater than 20 miles per hour.

Since the speed of an object cannot be negative, James's speed cannot be 10 miles per hour.

Therefore, James's speed must be between 20 and 30 miles per hour.

Q: John is 19 years old, Mary is 20 years old, they have three children. How old are the children?

A: Assuming that the children were born at different times, we can estimate their ages.

If the oldest child is 1 year old, the other two children would be 6 months and 3 months old, respectively.
I’m very curious, did you consider Swift? It’s ARC, has C interop and is easy to read/write.
The biggest missing element, in my mind, of the pro-"classicist" and anti-"mockist" view is that the practice of writing unit tests with mocking leads to refactoring your code until it works with that approach, which in turn leads to better-designed code. I don't like the emphasis of "yeah but refactoring code leads to needing to rewrite mocked tests", because if you've designed your code well, then the need to adjust an api boundary should be less frequent than the need to adjust the internal implementation details. Focusing on integration tests means you can get away with poorly designed code full of corner cases that your integration tests can't catch. Besides, "we can keep the fast feedback loop with parallel tests" really increases the demands on complicated tooling that breaks often.
I've always found this really sad to think about. I'm attracted to my partner and I'd like to stay this way indefinitely, but I'm also aware my own biology isn't on my side. I really hope we figure out ways (medicine? mind tricks? fork in the brain?) to keep the candle burning in the long term.
Indeed. And that's weird, because we cannot compare EV build quality across eras. And the parent comment was regarding comparing EVs to non EVs in regards to build quality.

It's like we're comparing top grossing sports teams from 2023 and someone starts talking about how the 2023 Yankees could beat the 1912 Yankees hands down.
Because this isn't new fangled, it goes back to the dawn of civilization and in many instances it's standard practice.

I oppose the "become" part because no, it wasn't HBO that changed this needle, it's religion.

Single payer would lower costs by greatly reducing liability insurance both for the doctors themselves but also for car insurance and business liability coverage. All those would still exist but not for the actual medical treatments. The estimates are it would start to save money nationally the first year, and once the medical industry reorganized around delivering care that plus savings from preventive care and less lags getting scans. It isn't just the insurance providers against single payer, all the big pharma and medical technology providers don't want that. The saving would come from having most every health care outcome in one place along with every treatment and medicine. We would start to really see what works and is worth the money. Second even the most affluent would benefit from less crowded emergency rooms that puts us all at risk.
What I'm hearing is I'll finally have a reason to learn graph databases if polyamory becomes mainstream.

Ultra compression like Matt Hahoney has worked on and keeping the distribution to the source code, rather than built packages for all supported architectures, could probably squeeze this down onto 1 DVD. Debian doesn't really support truly antique computers any more, pretty much everything out there that it runs on now can compile everything it needs. Binary packages made a lot more sense when you were running Linux on a Zaurus with 16-32MB RAM which isn't enough to compile large programs or the kernel.
You might find it difficult to stay secure when your partner says you’re no longer good enough.

Of course, some people don’t seem to mind this much. Or maybe this fancy new Bay Area “polyamory” memeplex works really well. I find it hard to imagine any amount of coping strategies could dull the pain for me.

You're making it sound like that mistake was an "I spilled my coffee on you boo-boo" and not a terrible engineering

The report regarding TUV inspections?

Do you do understand that failing those inspections doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with the car, right? Tires, wiper blades, or even rust on rotors (due to only using regenerative braking) will cause a fail.

It's harder legally: marriages at the moment end when one partner leaves or dies.

A polyamorous marriage on the other hand would be more similar to the board of a corporation since it theoretically could be immortal through consistently replacing partners.
Yeah, I'd be more interested to see the numbers of people who are actually interested in polyamory rather than those who think it's okay for someone else to do it. 38% of the population believe that gender can be different than biological sex [0], but only ~1% of the population identifies as transgender.

All the data from Gallup shows is that people are increasingly open to alternative marriage arrangements, but it doesn't indicate anything about how many people are interested in those arrangements.

Exactly, then you can broaden the scope of "harm" to be whatever is politically convenient. For example, I could turn your same argument around and use it to suppress any discussion of abortion whatsoever because the life of the embryo has precedence over any speech that would jeopardize it

Not that I personally think that's the right thing, just there's a danger in making core principles this ambiguous
> We'll have entirely different databases by the time the 1:1 mappings have to be fixed.

Don’t underestimate how long government databases can linger. Not so long ago I worked with data from a school system than was running on RDB - an old VAX based database from the 80’s. They kept it going on a virtualised OpenVMS system rather than rewrite it. This system was so old that they were using it when I was in school myself.
I thought this issue was settled in the late sixties and seventies. As "hot" as threesomes sound, the result of polyamorous consequences was once considered settled when the early '80s struck. i.e., Drug-resistant STDs and the emergence of HIV. Monogamy can turn into a boring gated garden whereas a threesome is a potential vector threat if not an emotional threat as well.
I agree - it doesn't seem popular at all. I do know a couple of people who are poly.

I am disappointed there were not better stats in the article. So about 50% say open marriages are acceptable, and about 20% say they've experimented with non-monogamy. But how many are actually in a poly relationship? How does that compare to the past?

They list a lot of movie references to poly relations, but what does that have to do with anything? Is it popular for people to become John Wick, Rambo, etc in real life? I think not. Perhaps they enjoy the idea of being a bad ass, vigilante, etc and watching those movies, but many people understand the downsides and that some fantasies should stay fantasies. The same thing for how many things in porn are great as a fantasy, but not things that the person wants to do in real life. There are many similarities to fantastical ideas that many have of non-monogamus relationships.
But then I have the same issue, as I never look at my headboard! I made a bedside table alarm clock instead, it's pretty good.
> The difference is that it's deterministic. If you avoid allocation in C/C++/Zig/Rust then you know nothing is going to slow you down, and at worst you have a couple of allocations that won't cause a big spike.

> With GC you can try to avoid allocations, but you might miss a couple and get occasional frame stutters anyway every now and then. Also avoiding allocation is a whole lot harder in languages that use a GC for everything than languages that provide an alternative

Something that I think doesn't get the attention it deserves in Rust is how explicit it makes allocations at the type level. You don't have a pointer that maybe points to the heap and maybe to the stack (or in the case of GC maybe even is on the stack right now but won't be when you change how it's used later) or a slice that you need to track down whether it originated as a reference to a fixed-size array or if it it's dynamically allocated; you have either type that you know is a reference like &T or &str or a slice, or you have a type you know was allocated on the heap like a Box or an Arc or a String or a Vec. I've seen people need to spend a lot of time profiling projects in other languages to track down where they can optimize their memory usage. I wonder if people who are skeptical of languages with expressive type systems might see the benefits more if they were presented less in terms of what the type system provides you directly, but in terms of what it makes available for tooling to take advantage of; in the case of using the type system to track allocations, the advantage might seem limited to your own code and not helpful when handling dependencies without being willing to dive into their code, but I think it's easy to overlook that having the information available statically makes it possible for tooling to utilize it, and that applies just as much to dependencies.
The link you sent is polygyny, in which one man has many wives who are all his. The woman is not allowed to have more than one partner.

It's perfectly acceptable for someone to write an article on trends in America or New York (it is still called The New Yorker after all) even if something similar existed once and waned in popularity before modern times.

Imagine if someone saw that homeschooling rates were up in the US over ten years. Would you not want people to write on that - because 5,000 years ago technically everyone was taught by family members?

> How Did Polyamory Become So Popular?

Housing prices. Seriously.

Polyamory is on the rise, and divorces are at a 50-year low[0]. This isn't a coincidence.

Where a couple would have divorced in the past, it now is financially infeasible in many cases. Living with a partner you're no longer compatible sucks, but not being able to afford rent sucks worse. So couples are pulling out all the stops to be not-divorced, including looking for other partners and keeping a marriage-in-name-only.

The article hints throughout that polyamory is just for the rich. I don't have the data but it's not clear to me that the rich are having more non-monogamous sex than the poor.

As far as the concept itself goes, I don't think it's possible to divorce possessiveness from sex. I'm suspicious of people who claim to have conquered jealously.

And then there's children. It's hard for me to see how polyamory won't be a disaster for children. I hope polyarmory is a fad and I suspect it is, just like "free love" in the 60s.
That's more or less what got my wife started in it, not lacking attraction to one another, but wondering about others. We loved each other to bits (still do in fact!) but we'd only ever had each other in that way. We were curious. Started as swinging, but eventually we settled more into poly with a dedicated side piece for each of us that we have strong feelings for too.

For us at least, it's completely normal to be madly in love with two people at the same time. Maybe even more to be honest, but we're happy with what we have and don't want to rock the boat further. We're still #1 for each other both emotionally and legally, and always thought we'd only ever be that connected to one another. But when it became obvious for both of us that we had "caught feelings" to use the phrasing the kids use, well, we were still madly in love with each other and had less than no desire to split up and all the emotional and financial hell involved with that, so, we have each other, we each have a side piece, and occasionally we even double-date too.

Idk, it's fun. I have two women in my life that bring me joy and my wife has another man that does the same. I'm sure it's not for everyone but I will admit that I find myself wondering how many marriages that end in infidelity could've been saved if the people in them just accepted that it was pretty understandable to not remain completely 100% committed to one person for the rest of your natural life.
Bad Obsession Motorsport's Project Binky is also highly recommended to anyone who wants to watch a couple guys basically build a car from scratch. Lotta fabrication in that one.
Cool to see this getting some spotlight. It’s important to remember that just because you haven’t seen it doesn’t mean it’s around you.

IME you’ll rarely just stumble upon someone poly. There’s usually some community involved which helps keep out bad actors and cool people safe.

Older people tend to be of the swinger variety (which technically isn’t poly iirc) and a little more hush hush.

Younger people in cities are often more open about it. And I’ve seen it more in explicitly queer-friendly spaces. If you come to a certain city in the PNW it’s everywhere.

I tried it for a few years. There’s pros and cons. It’s ultimately not for me.

This is going to be another big fight for marriage equality. New terms will be thrown around but the fight is all the same. Legalize (consensual) love.

At this point my (weak) personal observation is that there are more EV charging spots at most parking lots (in SF at least) than there are EVs using them.

ngl pilots are going to be automated soon for commercial people/cargo for domestic origin/destination. Unlike a truck that has to drive on roads, planes have a large room to make errors. In the future there won't be any pilots or even flight attendants and there would be a designated person on there to land the plane if needed at a much lower salary.

You simply do not understand the point of extracting "basic car" from "smart car".

The point isn't that the software will have no bugs.

The point is that the basic car will have much less software and much more basic software and that it is much easier to test and ensure this software is in working condition.

Also, it is absolutely not true that the basic software has to be updateable. With care, basic functionality can absolutely be completely finished.

Imagine you have been in the market with ABS controller for a decade or more. It has really simple functionality, it should be possible to just bake it and never touch it again. Or maybe a controller that takes care of basic battery protection. Or motor ESC. When the components are simple enough and well defined enough, it should be possible to "finish" the software to a state where it never again needs to be updated. Or updated only in exceptional circumstances.

The first time I was reading about matter, I was also watching the last season of The Expanse (a hard sci-fi series). In that show, technology mostly just happens in the background, despite being central to the plot often.

I think that is because the characters tend to have a very nonchalant way of using it: Whatever terminal is nearest can be used to interact with stuff in vicinity. There are no boundaries between devices, services, or the like; everything communicates with everything else, over any channel available, without further thinking.

If we ever get past showing off how the ceiling bulb can do red light, maybe we could start having a protocol for automatic device capability negotiation/discovery?
