> they'll salt the earth for any future dating apps

Baseless assertion. If people get sick of dating apps because they somehow all end up being full of bots, someone can make a new dating app where the primary selling point is that they prevent or minimise bots, maybe using some kind of human vetting process. Many people would then use that app.

> faith that a known-scummy portion of the market won't do some other scummy thing

I have no such faith. I did acknowledge that parts of the market can degrade, and that you might even be right that bots will ruin most existing dating apps. That could happen. But the idea that this would definitely spell the end of all dating apps is just an assertion you are making with no evidence.

Maybe religious groups/political parties/lobbies etc; if they are against abortion, they will definitely be against ending grandma (who doesn't know who you or your grandpa are, but let's not mention that); religious people see it as suicide and murder, so off to hell with 2+ people for every euthanasia.

I don't have a lot of experience with Alzheimer's, but in the couple of cases I've observed, though not from very close, the patient didn't seem to be suffering or unhappy at the end. There was a brief intermediate period of paranoia, in which they obviously were unhappy, but then they settled down into a state of complete doolallitude in which they were an expensive burden for professional carers but seemed quite cheerful. That makes the euthanasia question a bit harder.
This is not ambiguous, because that supposed ambiguity is used to prevent some combination of operators appearing without parentheses. Mathematically speaking the JS precedence relation is a partial order, unlike many other languages using a total order. I believe JS has made a correct choice here and a partially ordered precedence should be used more.

As an Argentine, I agree.

This article "blames" everything that is wrong with Argentina on an "enemy" figure. It is generally accepted that monetary policy has a lead time of at least a couple of months (it took the FED at least one year [1]). The causal relationship implied in the article, regarding having a record high inflation in the month of January is pretty unlikely.

I tried the button on both Safari (initially) and Chrome, and I'm struggling to understand if I'm actually seeing what I should see. When on, zooming in to the text shows it's turned a very slight green shade of grey, vs grey when it's off. Visually that's the only difference I saw.

Perhaps I misunderstood "blurring the blue and green channels". I expected some sort of slight but noticeable blur, ie across pixels, but should I actually be seeing _blending_ of the blue and green channels, ie colour mixing but on a per-pixel level?

A hobbyist's take on what it would take for a SOTA agent to beat Skyrim
I've long thought a good challenge to aim development toward in machine learning is to make an agent that can finish Skyrim zero-shot, unassisted, in real-time. I'm just a hobbyist but I thought I'd try to see if I could figure out what this would look like

Industrial production has had a huge impact on many of those and will continue doing so. It‘s wrong to romanticize these jobs, they are just a likely to be automated.
I’m not too sure. There exist tools that can export data so perhaps that process can be used. Otherwise, you probably need to figure it out one way or another. Knowing myself, I would destroy my own data with accidental deletion or removing a key disk before Apple does.
This pattern keeps repeating because the creators of an app think they need a configuration language (which some users do) and then when eventually other users end up needing an API or some feature the config language doesnt have. They both dont exist so they hack it with templating.

It's often quite hard to know what kind of problems need an API and what kind of problems need configuration. It's sometimes only obvious in retrospect - the same point when you also get held back from changing things by backwards compatibility and culture.

The reverse problem (no configuration, only turing complete code) carries its own set of problems and can be just as infuriating. Getting the balance just right is hard and often only clear in retrospect.

Kubernetes really should have done something about the templating horrors by now though.
For non emergency care, slowly it is IMO. The private medical that comes with jobs is pretty reassuring for non emergency issues. It doesn’t cover an awful lot but I’ve found aspects of it very helpful over the years. (Referrals to specialists within a week or two, video/phone appointments with a GP same/next day) etc.

I wouldn’t take a job that didn’t offer it (it’s pretty standard in our industry)

It’s annoying that it’s taxed at your highest income tax band (20/40/45%) as if it were some kind of super luxury. Maybe 20 years ago, sure. I think the company has to pay insurance tax on the premium too!

But yes it’s reassuring to know an emergency won’t ever bankrupt me.
> writing to HDDs is between $.15 to $.56 per TB

That seems obviously wrong (writing a TB will consume less than 1 kWh), and indeed your link shows 0.56 cents (i.e. $0.0056) per TB.
Yeah. Backups are quite hard to maintain. Hetzner storage boxes are pretty good from what I’ve found. They get backed up and are easily available
Not exactly. "dual-beam volumetric nanoscale writing [...] contained two laser beams [...] writing laser beam [...] energy per bit of information of 17 μJ [...] and a [...] deactivating laser beam [...] energy per bit of information of 3.64 mJ".

That brings us to $800/TB to write.

Also, if pixel == bit (I doubt this, due to error coding there should be more than one pixel per bit), the following is also very relevant: "The pixel dwell time (that is, the light exposure time) was 100 ms, which involved 4.2 × 10^6 pulses [...]. [...] took 0.35 ms to move from one pixel to the next [...]"

This would require 25440 years to write 1TB.

Scientists will need to find a way to succeed in writing a bit in less than 4.2 million "attempts" until this technology is commercially interesting. Still, this is an exciting development because it may produce a commercially viable medium if the density ambition is reduced from 200TB/disk to something like 20TB/disk or 2TB/disk.

Parsing to execute is easy. Real time parsing to do syntax highlighting and indenting less so. By convention people often implement some forms differently than others.

It isn't a crazy challenge, but the bar is higher than counting parens. And obviously Emacs doesn't do this correctly because it dies if someone throws a long line at it (the usual implementation of syntax highlighter is apparently regexp soup).
How did you make the transition?
We had some issues in the family with this, but yes, it might be because the diagnoses was already (perceived to be) too late. I would recommend doing it young if it's a familiar/genetic issue. If not, of course you cannot do that, so you try what you can.

In C# I feel you needed generics because there was no resizable array without casting from object (the Pareto 80-20 use case) and later async and Task<T> but I don’t think these problems apply to Go so it could have done without it (maybe!). Non userspace generics may be where it is at to ease suffering in places.

As a language design though Elm remains remarkably simple with parametric polymorphism (aka Generics) but it needs other design choices to do so. Elm is the Go of Haskell :-)

I noticed that adastra22 was downvoted for this. I'm really not sure why, as it very closely mirrors a lot of people's experience with Swedish healthcare.

There have been a lot of stories in the news over the last couple of years, but here's just one at the top of a simple google-search, about a kid that died because their scans were postponed (in Swedish):

The speculative currency crises in Europe during the 90s helped drive the adoption of the Euro in the first place. It's a bit outside my ken, but I do wonder if Italians of a certain age would agree that the older system worked "just fine."

I think reasonable minds can disagree about whether CBDCs are any more or less suitable than the alternatives (which seem worse to me in some respects, and certainly are worse in others) but either way, the world's central banks are singing a similar tune in unison right now. Like it or not, the macroeconomic tailwinds favor a more decentralized approach to cross-border settlements and we'll soon have infrastructure to enable this at massive scale.
Why do you need a tilda for `S ~[]E`, but not for `E comparable`?

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. How are these APIs even remotely defensible?

slices.Sort(s) // fine

s = slices.Compact(s) // fine
s := slices.Compact(s) // broken (!!!)
slices.Delete(s, …) // broken
s = slices.Delete(s, …) // fine

How is one intended to remember which functions require overwriting (due to invalidating) their input and which don’t? Why does the language make it so easy to render function parameters unusable upon return but impossible to enforce that they aren’t used afterward?

How on earth did it take twelve years for this “simple” language to make a function to delete elements from an array, with `s = append(s[:start], s[end:]...)` having to suffice until then? How on earth does the “better” API twelve years later have such a gaping footgun? This is a core type that quite literally every program uses. How have things gone so far off the rails that “setting the obsolete pointers to nil” is such an intractable problem for end users they had to add a new keyword to the language?

For other languages I see posts where weird language corner cases bring up challenging issues that really reinforce the idea that language design is hard. Rust—for example—has unsoundness issues in corner cases of the type system. But for go, it feels like there’s a constant stream of own goals on core areas of the language where the design should have knocked it out of the park. “Simple manipulation of arrays” just should not have this many footguns.
I doubt devs actually say that they can do testing themselves. It sounds like something manager says.

The reason is what you wrote later: it's not fun and they don't do it properly (e.g. full test case instead of testing just changed part) and they know it.
I hate it that some companies focus more now on how their product's website looks than on the product itself, its quality and stability.

From my experience, x arr is not a reliable metric for products of this size. They don't exactly have risk covered returns due to their size and they're usually bought for their growth prospect than any meaningful return it can give.

I didn't have any particular expectation per se, any x arr with the potential baked in is fine. But the most conversations I've had are bog-standard x months of profit and people looking to acquire it as an asset, which makes sense for them, but doesn't for me as I mentioned before the risk is pretty low in keeping it myself.
I couldn't honestly do that, the nostalgia would be too much for me, even for only 10 years ago, even 5.

And then how do you process past relationships and marriages? Or the death of loved ones? Or other such traumatic experiences?

Looking for feedback on making mental health support more accessible
Hello everyone, three days ago, I was feeling very depressed and stressed. I didn't have a way to pay off my current debt and rent, and I was on the verge of homelessness. I had lost all hope in life and was feeling suicidal. I started looking for help to share with someone but didn't have enough finances to afford a mental health professional.

I tried reaching out to some psychologists and counselors via email, seeking help. They told me to pay their consultancy fees before they could consult, or suggested trying suicide helplines. Being in India, I tried many helpline numbers, but most of them had working hours and were not responsive at night. Feeling hopeless, I turned to Reddit and Facebook groups, and finally, I connected with some people who had been in my situation a few years back and were now doing well in their lives.

Talking to them gave me hope that if I stayed alive, I might figure out a way to improve my situation. They continue to DM me and ask if I am doing well, having been through similar situations, and understanding exactly how it feels. While my problem is not fixed yet, their stories have given me hope that I can overcome it.

With this newfound hope, I want to ensure that others facing mental health issues due to challenging circumstances don't feel as hopeless. My plan is an app where people struggling with mental health issues can connect with individuals who have been in similar situations in the past and have thrived, leading better lives. These mentors can provide guidance and restore lost hope.

The app aims to connect people in need with those who have overcome similar challenges. If necessary, users can still consult psychologists. For those in situations like mine, professional help will be available at a subsidized price, and for severe cases, it may even be provided for free. I propose a cross-subsidized model to make the app sustainable. Those without financial constraints can pay the full fees, while those facing financial challenges can opt for subsidized fees. As users improve their financial situations, they can contribute to the app's sustainability.

I would appreciate feedback on this initiative. If you want to support the cause, be part of it, or if you are struggling or have thrived through mental health struggles, you can join the community for support. Thank you.
