Well then can you share such a file? I wasn't measuring the time of wc. I just did that to confirm the outputs were the same. The fact is that I can't reproduce your timings, and ired is significantly slower in the tests I showed above.

I tried my best to stress the importance of match frequency, and even varied the tests on that point. Yet I am still in the dark as to the match frequency in your tests.

The timing differences even in your tests also seem insignificant to me, although they can be significant in a loop or something. Hence the reason I used a larger file. Otherwise the difference in wall time appears to be a matter of milliseconds. Why does that matter? Maybe I'm reading your timings wrong, but that would only deepen the mystery as to why our results are so different. Hence my request for an input that your care about so that we can get on the same page.

Not sure if it was clear or not, but I'm the author of ripgrep. The benefit to you from this exchange is that I should be able to explain why the perf difference has to exist (or is difficult to remedy) or file a TODO for making rg -o faster.
> the title seems to me as accurate and the most significant outcome

That's exactly my point. The title is accurate. In the sense that its factual claims are correct.

But the same headline also implies conclusions that are not correct at all. And, knowing how the social "sciences" operate, this is not an accident.
Most workers actually welcome these practices because they're led to believe that they themselves could one day end up in that chair.

Of course the system is rigged but they don't know that.

With commitment, sacrifice, and ingenuity people do a good job of making more happen. Four and more are harder but very doable. Children are gifts that give back way more than they require. As a society we will be in very bad shape when we are old or needy and there are no children or siblings to care for us.
This is a great example of a statement whose emotional valence is dramatically wrong compared to the literal meaning: a world where girls kill themselves at the same near-zero rate as boys is _exactly_ what a healthy world should be.

I'm proficient in JavaScript & React. Open to interesting roles & projects.
There have been literally thousands of articles and blog posts that point out in the headline that men kill themselves far more than women do. People don't care. Maybe there's an advantage to identifying a primarily male-affecting issue with a group deemed socially more worthy of sympathy? I'm not saying I like it, but there's a massive crisis, and it's better to pose the crisis in a way that garners sympathy, even if that means working with unjust public biases instead of working against them.
I don’t think any suicide is the opposite of a problem.

This article is highlighting how the increase in suicide rate amongst young women is greater than the overall increase in suicide rate is and pointing out probable causes for this. If something suddenly goes from 10% of the total to 20% of the total, why is pointing that problematic to you?
Also when you buy a CEO you buy their old boys network with it. This is a big part of the high salaries and why it's such an in-crowd.
The web pages for bitwarden about integration with apps on android doesn't explicitly say "it's pwa only" so maybe I misapprehended.

The job market is extremely rough right now. I was one of the first layoffs of this job drought which happened to me in December 2022. I took a sabbatical and now jumped back into the job search in August 2023. I get very few call backs/interviews and I’ve been developing software for 20 years.

I noticed companies are being excruciatingly picky during interviews. One interview for a senior position the interviewer kept interrupting me during coding and during my explanations to tell me how he would have answered the problem. It cut into the solution time.

Another company I was interviewed by someone who had only been in the industry for 3 years and at the company for 6 months and not a senior and told me I wasn’t qualified enough for a senior position because they couldn’t follow my explanation. Even after asking “does that answer your question?” I was also a referral from a former coworker who was also laid off.

I have an interview in two days that has two 1 hour coding interviews and a systems design interview and this was after I already completed a 1 hour technical screening.

I’ve even done a take home project that resulted in no interview so I have stopped interviewing with those companies as well.

I think a lot of younger people were promoted or weren’t laid off and now companies are feeling out how to hire people again, but the biggest barrier I am seeing is purely over interviewing candidates and looking for some tiny flaw in their responses.

Are you trying to hire me or just interview me?
Tell HN: Cryptocurrency transactions >$10k require filing Form 8300 with the IRS
To paraphrase, historically, all cash transactions worth more than $10k that occurred in the US or by a US-based business must be reported on IRS Form 8300. Failure to report within 15 days could result in a felony charge.

Wires, ACH transfers, and certain types of checks do not count as cash in this context.

In 2021, congress passed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Snuck into this act was a line that expanded the definition of cash to include "digital assets" [1]. This new definition applies to all forms filed after December 31, 2023.

This means, as of yesterday, all cryptocurrency transactions worth >$10k must be reported via Form 8300.

However, Form 8300 is woefully incompatible with the nature of such transactions. This is some of the information you must attempt to gather for the form:

Payer's

- First & Last Name

- Address

- Social Security Number

Other

- "Digital Asset" is not one of the options for the type of cash received

- If paid by a DAO or protocol, it is unclear who, if anyone, can be specified as the person or business that paid you. They do not have a name, address, or social security number.

The IRS will soon be inundated by hundreds of thousands (I may be off on the low side by many orders of magnitude) of half-completed forms.

Whether or not the form is constitutional is a related legal question, the answer to which seems to be leaning "yes," unfortunately.

It is disheartening that opaque, incomplete reporting infrastructure is coupled with severe financial and criminal penalties.

Please, reach out to your congressperson and urge them to force the IRS to provide more clarity and guidance on this issue. Preferably with haste!

Nothing Chris Rufo says matters. He'd claim responsibility for Sam Altman's ouster from OpenAI if it somehow suited the grandiose public profile he's attempted to craft for himself. Certainly no matter who was serving as president of Harvard, and no matter what they'd said, Rufo would love nothing more than to associate himself and his "movement" with their failure.

It's nobody's fault but Rufo's opponents if an Ivy League university administrator somehow becomes a cause celebre and a major 'L' for the left. He's a gigantic troll and there is no reason to empower him.

There's no reason to concede the culture war framing in the comment you responded to. We have in fact extraordinarily clear evidence that Gay engaged repeatedly in (perhaps minor, perhaps major) instances of plagiarism. Nobody has a divine mandate to serve as Harvard president; no cause depends on a particular person holding that role; no great injustice can be done by someone losing it who has, for whatever reason, become a liability to the institution. Claudine Gay will be fine. Someone else will be Harvard president.
I don’t agree with the idea that web apps should supplant native software. I’d rather the web were mostly just hyperlinked text. Going to a web page should not download and run software on my computer.
For starters that'd be a reason to cut cost and allocate an increasing proportion of current revenue into a diversified investment portfolio to eventually gradually shift towards being able to at a minimum know they can cost-cut and survive of that investment return should they need to.

If I was aiming to set up a company like Mozilla, I'd want all earnings to go into such a fund, and all costs to come out of buffered investment returns... Yes, significantly slows down the rate you can spend, but it also significantly increases the odds of longevity and independence.

Of course that presumes the goal is to build the organization, not to get personally rich off it.
#3 is an absurd statement, as a society we do not say that men deserve it. Are there individuals that do say that? If they do they are not good humans and as such their point of view doesn’t really matter.

There is a broader point that is being missed and that is, in the Anglo-sphere people don’t care much about mental health at all, we stigmatize mental health as a weakness (thanks puritans!), so yes men don’t seek access to mental healthcare as openly as women and that drives other outcomes like higher suicide rates, higher levels of stress related medical issues and in the extremes mass-shootings.

If we could have solved the really big problems that remain with SaaS apps, we probably would have already. We're really good at building them. Most of the really big problems the world is facing require really hard solutions. Often this involves commercializing core research (like the foundation model companies) or building in atoms and not just bits. The sheer amount of talent and money going into SaaS feels like a massive misallocation of resources.

I was visiting my cousin in Seattle, I must have been 15. Everyone else went in while he “fixed the meter” I hung back and watched. He sat on the curb filing a penny on the concrete. Apparently if you file it so it fits in the dime slot the rough edge would catch and you could just keep spinning the dial to add the max time to the meter. Of course don’t choose one of the old copper ones or you’ll be there all night.

The repair shops must have hated that. Imagine having to take apart meter after meter to remove the stuck penny.

As the article points out, female suicide attempts far outnumber male suicide attempts. That male suicide succeeds more often is due to the methods used. If you are using suicide as a proxy for mental health, then suicide attempts seem as valid a proxy as suicides.

But even if that wasn't the case, there is a measurable difference in the rate of change. The number of female suicides is increasing at a far faster rate than male suicides.
The information provided by the warped part of the screen is the directionality of it similar to Renegade Ops' Dynamic Splitting as discussed in the article.
Assuming a world in which the rate of girls killing themselves is ~0% and boys is ~5%, I imagine most would think the world would be healthier if the numbers were more similar at ~0%.

Phrasing it as “at the same rate” makes me think... yeah, should they be different? I do see the point that the rate going up is bad and it’s currently trending closer in the wrong direction but I can also see how one might read the comment as suggesting that the rates specifically should not be the same.

"An Analysis of Suicide Rates in the Anglosphere"

Shocking, right? It's basically an admission that the facts are too complex to compress into a half-sentence, and if the reader wants to understand them they should read the actual article.

But social cargo cult science has been operating like tabloid journalism for so long that this wouldn't even be considered.
I would not call it a counterexample. In fact we saw similar behavior here. These people escaped death by the skin of their taints. In my opinion the crew should have initiated evacuation much sooner than they did. Despite this, the passengers' behavior also prevented chaos. Any further delay would have surely resulted in casualties. It's a bit of a paradox.
Quite some magical statistical sorcery to turn an obvious increase only in USA youth suicide into something for the Anglosphere.

It seems perfectly meritocratic to me. I mean it’s consistent with how the word “meritocratic” is always used.

I have never seen a system that was actually based on skill or effort be described as meritocratic.
Likewise I have never seen a system described as meritocratic that was actually based on skill or effort.

The way meritocratic is usually used is to describe systems that could appear to be based on skill or effort at the surface, but is not actually if you look just a little deeper.
As someone from Boston, "the city" as destination is the nearest city, whether that's Chicago, Toronto, or Seattle. "The City" as proper noun is New York.
Because men already have a hell of a time getting support, sympathy or understanding without the issue being reframed as "well it is toxic masculinity's fault", "you should have seen a psychiatrist" or "yeah but women try more and that's totally not a sign of attention seeking behavior as opposed to genuine fatigue/despair with life".

So yeah people represented by the more afflicted group will find it particularly offensive that it's being reframed in yet another female-centric manner.

It's the phones.

This is one of those things that should be so obvious - but because of the overwhelming use of that thing, nobody will admit it. We spent decades listening to big tobacco insisting that cigarettes were healthy and cool despite the fact that the science was clear and it should have been obvious that inhaling burning shit into your lungs was bad.

Having unceasing ubiquitous access to all the toxic shit that the internet serves up via a phone should be obvious.

New construction has to meet building code/pass inspection and plans have to be engineered and permitted. If an engineer has done calculations and its safe to skip studs, I see nothing wrong with that. Less studs = more insulation. (I prefer to build 24 OC)

I sympathize with these ideas - I love free software, self-hosted stuff, etc.

But how are we supposed to make money without proprietary software or SaaS? People always say "it's free as in freedom, not free as in zero price" but in practice, free software usually is free as in zero price. I guess you can work for a company that will pay you to write free software or be sponsored to write free software, but outside of that, it seems pretty difficult to monetize ethically pure software.
Barely a quarter of women.... Most of which would be already partnered well before the takeoff of these apps. Come on, atleast look up the right age range and right demographic.

I found a 2017 (!) study that said 40% of non married people found their current partner online. Now factor in that online dating often leads to shorter term interactions for exactly the reasons I discussed, it's clear that over 50% of 18-35% women have used online dating.

I personally have seen the change. When I was young, almost no women did online dating. 20 years later, you would really be hard pressed to find a woman that hasn't tried it. And the reason most stop is because they get burned. That burning leaves a scar, and that's what I mentioned also.
Daniel Schmachtenberger uses the categories of truthful, not true and missing context. Truthful means the person communicating thinks it to be true (misinformation), not true being disinformation and missing context while true, misleading without context.

We absolutely do say exactly that, in (lack of) action and word. And the people who shrug at male suicide do matter: they design public policy that results in the outcomes.

A "fun" fact: the majority of men who commit suicide do seek mental health services. And the mental health system fails them. Shifting it purely to a matter of "men are just too toxic to seek mental health services" is just a thinly veiled way to blame men for their suicides.
Notably, Qantas Flight 32 back in 2010, where the flight crew had a dozen contradictory ECAM messages, and it took the second officer entering the cabin to see that an engine had blown up. https://admiralcloudberg.medium.com/a-matter-of-millimeters-...

>In the meantime, the cabin crew had been attempting to get the pilots’ attention using the emergency call button, but all the pilots were so focused on the failures that they initially didn’t notice. Only now did they send Second Officer Mark Johnson to assess the situation in the cabin, whereupon a Qantas pilot riding as a passenger in the upper deck drew his attention to the in-flight entertainment system, which featured a live view of the aircraft from a tail-mounted camera. The digital stream clearly showed a much more literal stream of fuel pouring from the left wing and into the aircraft’s wake, which was also visible with the naked eye from the lower deck. Johnson proceeded down to check for himself, at which point he also observed for the first time that there were two gaping holes in the top of the left wing, surrounded by jagged metal, where the turbine disk fragments had exited.
I hope this article is true, because in that case, web apps like [1] and friends can start being treated like I'm used to treating programs, as binary files or otherwise fungible functions that you can call and get outputs, and if you don't like what one version of the function/binary/program/application does, you can substitute your own or a previous version.
