For me it has ! I have way more sex (I try to have it everyday) than my parents seem to have but a lot less children :D At 35, I feel I'm peaking to a point it's almost too much.

What really seem to work to have sex a lot is to have lots of money (to get partners you wouldnt otherwise get), look exotic by emigrating (I live in Asia but was born in France), immediately ditch low libido partners (it's not always their fault, maybe you re just not attractive enough to them and that's totally okay), and be ready to really go the extra mile in bed to make it a bit new and exciting even with a long term partner: for instance I think it's important both climax each time and if it's hard then you buy tools and use them, no shame in that. My friends find it shameful to need a vibrator, but do they understand how exciting it is for a girl to climax while making love absolutely each time no matter what, and quickly, and how boring it is when it's a struggle and frustration instead ?

I m a straight male, and Im into straight females, and I find many of them have submissive fantasies they have trouble to express and materializing them makes the sex absolutely addictive to them. My current gf is 19, likes to be roughed a little bit, have rape fantasies even I have trouble to play fully and her peak excitement is when I make her cry: this is not even rare, if you dare to ask. I even found it quite common but they are very shy to express it if you're too goody goody.

If you dont have enough sex and it matters to you, then spend more money on it, look more exotic (or find foreign girls locally who will find you exotic), and be ready to be a bit mean, in a playful way. I dont have abs but I never met a girl who didnt fantasize on it: sounds like a cheap way to move up a few ranks, for instance.
This isn't good advice. Main / development is exactly designed to be the starting point for patches.

If things change underneath you, rebase your patches on the current main of the moment before offering your patches.
My parents' music: it's got a good beat. You can dance to it
I've been a serial online dater since probably 1998 when I was 14. I had my mom drive me 30 minutes to meet a girl I talked to over Sparkmatch, a dating site for teens.

Men are using porn more than ever. Yes, it reduces drive.
Women are using online dating to meet up with guys they normally don't get attention from in day to day life. I date a lot, but not THAT much, and I know three early 20s women that slept with professional athletes (one married) from tinder (pre 2016) and bumble.
Basically every girl is scoring way out of her league atleast once or twice from online dating, and getting burned by it.
Women used to get burned by long term relationships of they chose poorly. Now they're getting burned by internet playboys before they even make it to a relationship.
I have decent guy friends that can barely get a date.
Every single girl no matter how average is drowning in attention online, so they focus on the top 5-10%. No guy in the top 5%, and especially not an athlete, is going to settle down with a 6. Yet afterwards, that 6 isn't very likely to settle for a 6 male.
Until women start being more honest with each other and saving the younger ones from making these mistakes, it's going to be a bad time for young people.
Wait till they all find out about 2038

> faster, faster, faster. Everything is about speed. When will things be about quality?

Ironically, quality is the enemy of a startup. You can only do quality once you've got Product Market Fit (very very subjective thing, i understand). The analogy is building a quality, beautiful hotel on Antarctica - it's effectively useless and no one will pay you money you need for it to survive.

Oversimplification is, test, test, test until something sticks. Once something sticks optimize it with quality.

So initially, yes, you need faster, faster, faster.
Both J&K and HP have < 950 sex ratios - possibly due to selective abortions. This will also affect the ability for men to find brides.

I think the ability to use similar ‘planning’ algorithms for walking through a room, choosing an option for attack/defend/use item, which enemy to target, may account for some of the attribution of intelligence to game AI. Humans seem to think they and other humans put as much thought and think in similar patterns about wildly dissimilar activities like planning a route or weighting risk/reward or planning an event 6 months out. So the ability to encode a wide variety of ‘search space’ into an appropriate graph for use with a common algorithm lends a perceived verisimilitude to the AI’s thoughtfulness and near-personhood when immersed in play.
>It happened because the people writing the image parsers made an incredibly stupid mistake and then didn’t bother testing it, because the software industry doesn’t bother with QA anymore.

I too remember the good old days when software used to be written without security vulnerabilities, especially in media format parsers.

Oh wait, that never existed. In fact in the old days people cared even less about security.

PP is referring to the price mechanism of markets. Not an arbitrary set price set by a regulator / central planner.

By definition if government runs a sector, there can be no pricing mechanism. Otherwise the government isn’t running it; it’s just a market.
Is it? I don't know, I don't use it for personal (actually personal) stuff, but if I actually want to publish something — I'd do it there. If I want to contribute to something — it's way easier to do it on Github than most other places. It makes searching for code easier too. If Microsoft decides to abuse the monopoly, or if Gitlab/etc. would actually be much better, I don't imagine it would be very difficult to switch. Well, yeah, sure, Github Actions and issue history are somewhat of a vendor-lock, but it's not that bad, I suppose.

Maybe Copilot (made possible by the huge non-commercial codebase on Github) being somewhat unfair advantage to other commercial alternatives is a bit troublesome, yeah. But otherwise I just don't see why Github being a de-facto standard is bad. In fact, I am somewhat annoyed when a really popular project doesn't have a Github repository (mostly because it makes filing an issue, or even reading existing issues much more difficult in most cases). So I'm actually glad to hear that some big projects feel pressed to migrate to github. What's even a problem with that, apart, maybe, for github actions, that honestly suck?

(Maybe I should add: I am a git hater, and do think that mercurial is just unquestionably better, but this battle is lost long time ago, so I don't suppose it's the topic of this discussion.)

Hopefully, we're lucky and everything just migrates seamlessly to 64bit, but a Minsky Moment for technical rather than monetary debt would be pretty apropos. Maybe the LLM designed to port everything makes a silly mistake that goes unchecked. Who knows maybe it becomes Skynet.

No, we can’t “fix everything” because not everyone agrees that these are problems which need solving, or that your proposed solutions are actually an improvement.

I feel like most people go through this thought process around junior year in college. “If only they would put me in charge, I could fix everything.” Yes, the world is not that simple, what a surprise…
> Most physical world thiigs have immediate feedback of incorrectness.

We might not want it to enter such circumstances where there is such feedback - e.g. car has run over a child. We generally aren’t interested in what the AI does in response to such feedback as such feedback should never ever occur.
That could create some wrong incentives.

> when it doesn't benefit from the #1 best coordinator of resources on the planet - price

Price is arguably #1 in info-symmetric non-urgent elastic demand situations.

Which portions of health care function this way is left as an exercise for the reader.
If all you've got is a hammer then every problem begins to resemble a nail. But some problems actually require a screwdriver.

The problem with price signals in health care is that they compete with survival signals, and the survival signals sometimes win out.

This makes health care an example of a situation where (traditional) markets become distorted and fail to operate efficiently. A little external help is needed.
I can never find anything. You have to walk every isle in the whole store. And that’s after you make it through 400 yards of parking lot expressly designed to get you run over by an F350. Then you get to the checkout (after picking the 20-minute line, of course) and learn which payment methods Costco currently is at war with; you better have something blessed. Then you get to stand in line again (this may actually be your third line of the day if card checks were queued up) with all your fellow suspected-shoplifters for some security theater receipt glance-and-mark. Finish it all off with another parking lot gauntlet, but this time fully laden.

I don’t have experience with any but my local Costco. Maybe the rest are delightful.

Author here. I chose two real sets of commit messages rather than to fabricate one. Fabricating one may have made the second list easier to scan -- you'd already know what you were looking for and you would have some familiarity with the content. In any case, it's certainly not a perfect experiment or demonstration.

The specific function/variable names do not often make appearances in our commit messages (though they do sometimes, as do class names). They do, however, make very clear appearances in diffs. Commit messages stand on their own for their own purpose -- it's an index, and indexes are for scanning. If you need to read further, you zoom in.

Also, I wasn't trying to say to "use longer sentences for everything," where did you get that from? I offered some specific clarifications on how we write some common commit messages, and they may be longer than some alternatives, but our reasons are for clarity and consistency. We don't mind slightly longer commit messages, in large part because the first few words tend to be the most important.

Sounds similar to my Frost River Geologist Pack, which is around the same price point and handcrafted in Minnesota. I've gotten a lot of mileage out of it while often lugging 35+ lbs of stuff, and it seems pretty much indestructible.

$450 for an equivalent bag could be explained by things like cost of living differences, but the randoseru described in the article are smaller and made from less expensive materials. The design is arguably a little more complicated, but the price still seems high for what you're getting.
You're making the absurd assertion that porn reflects real life sex. It does not.

A more forgivable analogy to pictures would be that porn is to food, what artificial, constructed, and edit advertisements of food is to food.

The only agenda is the push for normalisation of porn everywhere. We see it.

Yeah; I like to think of capitalism as an eldrich god that we've summoned from beyond the veil and attempted to yoke for our own betterment. Its incredibly powerful, yes. But it fundamentally doesn't care about human flourishing.

To use a line from the Economist, we have to tame capitalism's excesses in order to get the most benefit to society.

OP's article TLDR: "Nazis are bad, Nazis are on Substack, Substack should deplatform them."

I find it difficult to imagine that expressing opposition to the most universally-opposed people on the planet counts as "Gratifying to intellectual curiosity". Gratifying, perhaps, but involves about zero intellectual curiosity.

> We could be running fiber-optic cable to every house in America, and we even know how much it would cost.

That's the problem, isn't it? It costs too much. Of course we can fix everything, we could also do everything in the universe, but the question is at what cost? So here's my modest proposal:

> I am here to remind you that it will only get worse unless we do something.

The problem isn't painful enough. Have you ever had a tough time convincing your team to address some looming problem, the problem actually manifests, and surprise! It becomes top priority.

COVID was a great example of this. When the problem is painful enough we as a society can do a lot. So maybe instead of the Sisyphean task of "fighting the good fight", maybe we just ... make it more painful first?

He's probably referring to price controls, which basically everyone else has.
That's pretty silly.

The 'economic race to the bottom' is exactly how we can all afford microwave ovens in the first place.

Of course, you can make a special case for microwave ovens, and we could afford them to be slightly more expensive. But we need the general cost cutting and optimization in the economy to drive progress.

> your proposed solution is actually an improvement.

Whenever we try to improve anything in this world (software, hardware, humans, society, laws, constitutions), we measure a bunch of things beforehand, then we measure again after implementing the change. If it's faster or cheaper or lighter or taller or some measurable amount different, we can quite easily determine if the changes have in fact improved upon the way things were.

In the case of many things at a societal level, it's not difficult to compare to other countries that have already implemented a bunch of these things to see the likely outcomes.
It doesn't. First off it gets the wrong people to download the app. Second the right people will be turned off from downloading it.
Human problem IS the most difficult problem.
I distinctly remember the Wired article that claimed power plants would fail - in an anecdote they said - "Imagine a temperature sensor reading comes in and the system then divides it by the year, the system now sees the temp as infinity and the whole plant shuts down". I read it a few times to make sure I followed and then asked myself, why exactly would you divide the temperate by the last two digits from the year? Wired anyway thought you would do that and it was going to cause massive failure.
> You don't actually need to automatically stop 12 year Olds from using your music in the background of their minecraft video to turn a profit.

To clarify, whether or not you can as an organization turn a profit, is whether or not you get to own a piece of IP? How much profit is an owner of IP allowed to have? How much should an artist get paid? I don't think I could ever limit/define that.
I'm fine with all that but there were no follow-ups. All lead-up and no release.

Where were the interviews with Cobol nerds standing in front of huge tape drives, sweating even in the chilly server room air as they mumbled inscrutable things?

> It's just super impractical. The work is discussed / documented in the project management systems

I agree, it is super impractical to have to read the whole discussion again instead of having a comprehensive description of the agreed upon result of that discussion. Therefore, writing good commit messages is really valuable.
The problem with plans is that they are "linear" thinking tools.

Life is chaotic. Picture, for analogy, a Lorenz attractor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qmbq82jwHgY our projects gravitate toward a goal, we make adjustments that drive us closer and push us apart. We can't go back and make difference choices, so where we are and where we go heavily depends on where we were.

When we define plans or delegate, I think too often we think in terms of "I am here and I want to get there" instead of "what is a robust way to nudge us toward our defined goals, how should the forces that shape our trajectories balance out to keep us in the right regions of the space of possibilities."

In a sense, this is the difference between having a project and having a strategy.
Consider taking an edible or some CBD before your Costco experience if this is how you’re experiencing it (ie stressful). I love my IRL Costco experience, especially the soda and hot dog at the end. Just enough chaos to be delightful, I don’t mind any of the grievances you’ve raised. Tis the cost of the bulk blessings. Checking my card and purchases along with a long checkout line? Meh. Don’t let the big box store stress you out. Grab a cart and enjoy.

As I understand it, the US government pays more per capita for healthcare than any other rich country. And Americans don't even get free healthcare in return.

> Health spending per person in the U.S. was nearly two times higher than in the closest country, Germany, and four times higher than in South Korea.
Neither of these really invalidates the points.

A pail of gas is essentially inert and dead safe until you go out of your way to aerosolize it. Even though it will burn if lit, it doesn't light itself no matter how you abuse it, and, it even evaporates and dissipates itself completely away in a short while. IE, if you spill that pail, there is a short window of time where there is a risk of a fire, but after that the there is no more gas and no more risk.

A lithium (or any other battery for that matter) with the same amount of energy is essentially barely contained and always trying to get out and only held back by great care and no flaws in the materials and careful handling.

It's a totally different prospect or dynamic. It's not just the fires in the accidents.

"I don't mind the recharge time" is meaningless or valueless. It doesn't matter that you can afford to spend an hour getting a partial recharge, the world can not afford for all the bezillion refills to ballon to by such a crazy amount.

The system can absorb a handful of Teslas only because there are only a handful. And a lot of what makes an ev remotely practical is having an overnight charge at home. Many, maybe even most, vehicles do not have a matching garage where it's even possible to install a charger. Some day we might have street-side charging where every parking meter is also a charger, but that day is a far off fantasy. The power grid is not remotely ready for that either, especially when you add the removal of gas heating and cooking from new construction.

EVs are really completely impractical luxury toys that a few people in just the right hot-house environment can get away with, and only as long as it's not too many of them.

It will be a great future but it is the future.
The "micro task note" is what unlocks this for me.

I will leave a todo or comment of the next steps in the commit message, and each day i start out with a 'well what did i even do? git log -n 1'.

"Leave a broken test" doesn't work for me, because the test can be breaking for other reasons, and it often takes a lot of time to set up a test, in which you wake up with a better / cleaner solution. (so the test you wrote is testing the wrong implementation.)

I've been trying out "logseq"[1] for daily journaling, which allows you to see what you did yesterday VERY easily, and this has been pretty good for me. (but i don't normally use these note taking apps and it possibly won't last long, we'll see.)
