From what I've found [1] the OP asked for ideas on what to do after they graduate, not dating advice. Then, a commenter started off responding but quickly switched into dumping their emotions about how they can't get a girlfriend. That commenter also did not ask for advice.

The professor then replied to this commenter, not the OP, with his thought about how women in "artillery distance" of the bay area have stark behavior differences. Some of those women he was talking about were, presumably, his own students.

edit to add:

A model response from a professor who did want to weigh in on this might be something like "Stop thinking about life in terms of looking for a girlfriend, and start meeting new people and forming relationships with them, some of which may turn romantic." The student's attitude is just not a healthy way to go about life, and the general demeanor they have (that kind of response to a job-advice post) is not conducive to actually forming healthy relationships.
A lower CPI is better for the government because it makes it look like inflation is a smaller problem than it is. So you're agreeing with me - they changed it to make the numbers look better.
I’m curious how this is different from Zapier which has added a conversational layer (https://zapier.com/ai).

In my experience a lot of people don’t know how to write with a level of specificity needed to map to pre defined triggers.

For example: instead of saying spreadsheet they may say “roadmap” or instead of saying “Notion database” they may say “bug tracker”

This stuff fails in Zapier.

Any chance you handle those cases better?
Honestly I don't know.

But if was to guess, I would say that Android users fall into two camps primarily. One is high end tech-savvy users who want it because it's more open, powerful and flexible. These people don't buy apps and services because they are "smart" and use their tech knowledge to solve the problems those things are solving cheaper ways (or for free).

Then there are a second group of Android users who simply buy it because it is cheaper, or they just have absolutely no interest / affinity for Apple's branding. These users aren't going to buy things because their primary motivation in the first place was to not spend excessive money on something they don't care about (or they just don't have the money).

I'd also suggest that perhaps the 7x is a bit exaggerated. It's just harder to account for the revenue from Android apps because it's more driven by off-market streams. But I totally believe iOS is much much more. It might just not be 7x.
Let's say the tyranny of the C children has diverted our attention. I'll make a wild ass statement: If Modula-2 (Wirth family with Pascal) had caught on, you would have had whatever you wanted from Rust 20 years ago. But the C noise dominated the narrative.

Use the language that makes you money and encourages you to write code that addresses domains requiring more than just bolting together framework pieces. AI can do a measurable chunk of that work.
Yes, and if a professor was saying this to their students what would be offensive! But that’s not what we’re talking about, I’m so sorry you were offended though.

> I don't know of intelligent design proponents who deny creationism, that's interesting.

I don't know if any intelligent design proponents deny creationism in all its forms. They hardly can, since what they are proposing is itself a form of creationism. But many try to obscure the fact that it is a form of creationism.

> what the original poster has said isn't necessarily intelligent design theory. They seem to have in mind the fine-tuning argument, roughly speaking that the order/structure of the universe suggests that the universe was designed

It's the same argument, though. Whether it's a "beautiful statue," as in the post I replied to here, or a watch, or a blood-clotting mechanism, or "the order/structure of the universe," the argument is "this thing was clearly designed, therefore the God that I profess to believe in is real."

Doesn't matter whether you call it "intelligent design" or "fine-tuning" or whatever, it's all the same: this thing was "designed," therefore there is/was a "designer" who intentionally created it. It's all creationism.

This is all sort of an aside from my main point to the post I replied to, which is that by equating the fact that he "feels" there is a God with "feeling" hungry, he is using the words "feel" and "feeling" very sloppily at best, and conflating two very different things in a way that confuses rather than clarifies.

Certainly, there are those who use this kind of sloppy language exactly because it confuses rather than clarifies. He may just be a victim of one, possibly many times removed, or he may be one himself. I dunno.

This is where the classic rhetoric of "the professor is creating a hostile environment / is making people feel unsafe / caused irreparable harm to underprivileged groups" will come in.

I'm not justifying what he said in any way, but he touched a sacred third rail which is going to make people not want to be associated with his name in any way, at least for a few years until everybody forgets this ever happened. Possible he will resign due to pressure or ostracism.

The quote in question:

> If you want a girlfriend, get out of the Bay Area. Almost everywhere else on the planet is better for that. I’m not kidding at all. You’ll be shocked by the stark differences in behavior of women in places where women are plentiful versus their behavior within artillery distance of San Jose and San Francisco

This reads to me like a reflection of his own difficulties with dating in the bay area, leading him to generalize. He's only human, and I don't think he should be burned at the stake for letting a bit of that humanity slip.

At the same time, it's not surprising that a professor is going to face some scrutiny for publicly deriding a population he will inevitably have to teach. In his apology he says he didn't mean to disrespect women, but he definitely did, the point of his statement was specifically to call out the women in that region as being so undesirable that eligible men should move rather than date them. That's a mean thing to say, and an unfair generalization to all the lovely ladies in the bay area. I think an apology suffices, hopefully he doesn't get fired for it.
Inflation is a tax, since almost no government will raise taxes, inflation is a way to raise revenue without calling it a tax.
It's universally acknowledged that men "in high demand" behave differently than men in low demand.

Thank god that women are different.
But yeah FPC supports ref counted dynamic arrays with "+" operator.
He said "You’ll be shocked by the stark differences in behavior of women in places where women are plentiful versus their behavior within artillery distance of San Jose and San Francisco". Not taking sides here, but your citation is really an interpretation.
The question is how to pivot to another job that is as personally and financially as rewarding as tech? Is a Masters degree the best bet?
I don’t think the professor was talking about his female students, but rather about the average woman in the Bay Area (but I don’t know for sure, of course).

Artillery distance just means 100 miles or something like that. I agree that saying “keep 100 miles from the Bay Area” would have sounded better, but I don’t think it’s that important (again, just how I read it).
Technically the professor didn't quite say that women in the Bay Area are worse people.

The argument made (or implied) is that when women are not "plentiful" (his words) then you have a skewed dating market where men will on average date less desirable women than they otherwise would (and the least desirable men will find themselves without any dates).

Anyway, I don't endorse the professor's statement (and it's certainly inappropriate in a professional context). But the professor is at least correct in pointing out that a gender imbalance on the dating market makes dating significantly harder.

The alternative is that either supporting largest business is completely accidental or that it's done for the good of the voters.

Both alternatives are completely rudiculous. You can be sure that money is flowing. You can see some of the money flowing in the form of lobbying and cosy retirements if government officials in corporate boards. You can be sure there's more. US is incredibly overtly and covertly corrupt at every level.

The only way this feature could work is by broadcasting my information to nearby devices.

I feel you. I was following the "rockstar developer" path so I spent all this time trying master some sick riffs for nothing.
The article is right; I do not like ddevault, and refuse to use his software on my machines as a result. I will never pay him money.

The article is also right that Redis is kinda 'complete' and merely staying the course and slowly maintaining bugs/CVEs/etc. is a vaild type of fork.

If Redict happens to become the standard 'open' alternative (eg, OpenSearch, OpenTofu, etc), I'll suck it up and use his fork. We need less SSPL BS and more just 'complete' software. I may not like that jerk, but I don't like the jerks who made the re-licensing decision much, much more.
Fair. Editing to use that quote.
Mars unsafe for humans to live, no one can survive for longer than 4 years
The text beneath the toggle is "Allows others to detect you are nearby to help prioritize their suggestions." This implies it's broadcasting some beacons containing my phone number to nearby devices, which can listen for those beacons and compare them with their contacts list.
I haven't seen the original comment, only what is quoted in the article. What you're writing is a pretty gross misrepresentation of at least that quoted part, which simply makes a statement about gender ratios and that they can have significant effects on people's behavior. If you disagree with that, I'd be curious to hear the argument. Beating up a straw man, on the other hand, is bad form.

The Boeing Dreamlifter is literally that. There's also the Airbus BelugaXL. Taking big cargo aircraft and putting bigger cargo fairings on it has been going on since the 60s.

None are capable of a 300' length, but they're also not far off. I'm not sure what Radias gameplan here is but I'm extremely doubtful they'll be able to spin up a bespoke airframe for this one market before Boeing/Airbus have built a FeverDreamlifter or BelugaXXL off an existing airframe.

Especially with A380s to be had rather on the cheap these days.
It isn't true for all ordered rings, and the dual numbers are in fact a counterexample to the claim that it is true.

Beyond that I'm not sure what to tell you, other than it's fairly easy to see that the dual numbers do satisfy the axioms of an ordered ring that I gave. Here's a large survey of various infinitesimal systems by Philip Ehrlich where he also notes the dual numbers are an ordered ring: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1808.03345.pdf.

This is a typo, should have been "If only it had an APIs to see how much of a specific device is RAM-cached right now".
Why do you think that? I mean I haven't dated in like 15 years, but I had dates every week, and I'm pretty average.
Nah. It's mostly news about walled gardens with walking dead features.
Wow, really? I always assumed that if I zipped a directory, it would use a shared dictionary to compress all the files. But I guess what you say makes sense, because otherwise it wouldn't be possible to extract just one file.

Are there compression formats that do share an encoding dictionary across multiple files? I guess tar + gzip might do that?
Indeed, and that's the crux of this story, a professor of the school giving advice to the student of the school cannot easily be seen as anything other than a representative of the school in such a context .. and the minimum consequence that has to be accepted here, as outlined, is for the professor to apologise.

In reality, it is still veryuch taboo in US culture to speak in raw terms of salary.

"being so undesirable"

I don't think he meant "undesirable". I understood it as "too selective", with the implication that there's too much male competition in the Bay.
I hope you understand that inappropriate sexual relations with grad students is in a different league than saying that dating may be a different and/or easier game to play in other areas of the country.
wow these are beautiful
That would have been true if CPI was a purely economic issue. But it’s also a political issue and once politics is involved, there is vast incentive to fudge and massage the data to fit a narrative.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argumentum_ad_populum can be a mistake of the youth. Just sayin.
Why would this be the fork that thrives? This fork also relicenses the code. Would we not expect the contributors outside Redis the company to coalesce behind a fork that doesn’t change the license?
Having lived in a series of places with far more men than women and seen the effects on the dating seen, he is speaking some truth.

There is a vast difference between having equal numbers and large imbalance, and it does impact behavior.

If we're supplying context, then it seems funny to omit the context that,

* it's a journalling app the user did not seek out and choose to install,

* was not brought to their attention that it was installed,

* with a data-broadcasting setting pre-configured to disregard the users explicitly indicated intentions via the OS lockdown mode setting.

The fact that it's a journalling app seems not to matter at all as far as I can see. The remarkable issue was never that a journalling app wants to record your life.
"difference of behavior due to the competition"

he never said there were not good life partner, only that they were INACECSSIBLE. he was literally answering to basically an (literal) incel complaining to not have luck with women
> the point of his statement was specifically to call out the women in that region as being so undesirable that eligible men should move rather than date them.

That's not what I got from it at all.

What I got from it is: there is a gender imbalance in the Bay area. This gender imbalance favors women. That has an impact on women's behavior - presumably allowing women to be pickier. This makes the experience frustrating for men, hence the recommendation to go elsewhere.

Note, it's not the women who are the undesirable ones in this interpretation...

I think we should all try to be offended less, not more.

Controversial sure, but if your role is to help students succeed, and pretty much every quality of life indicator shows part of that is raising a family, he's commenting on a cultural change that pretty much everyone has noticed.

It's probably more prominent in the bay area because of the status seeking cultures at Berkeley and Stanford, but it's everywhere. The culture has become more mercenary. The best thing I think young people could do is set the age of their dating profiles 20 years into the future and see what it's going to look like for them. Your relationship options are to work and adapt, or settle. No partner can sustain reinforcing your false narratives about yourself for very long, so find and drop those as fast as you can. As far as success goes, you're not a very good muse for yourself, and nobody else is going to shape you like a family, so have one. Also, stay fit. A lack of fitness is poverty after 30.

Depends upon when :) I thought most migration to Australia was when they were land bridges due to the sea level.

But off hand I do not remember when the Polynesian started their migrations, was it 3,000 years ago ? Their boats and navigation were quite remarkable back then.

Anyway, makes sense that the Mediterranean area had good boat tech at such an early time. It is a kind of "closed" area and you throw a boat in it, it will run into some land after a rather brief time. So people with faster and reliable water transport would do better than people without.

I would not be surprised if they find some good boat tech much much earlier.
> but if you look at things that are constant (e.g. housing) then it looks to me like people have gotten poorer.

If housing were constant then people would not be any poorer with respect to housing. They would be in the exact same position. But housing is not a constant. The average US house has have more than doubled in size over the past 50 years. The average US home also has one less person living in it as compared to 50 years ago. People today are way richer in housing.

I come from a country which has been suffering from this problem for many decades. A large gender imbalance warps society, and is a real concern particularly for straight dating/marriage. There are many ways to talk about it that reflect the seriousness of the problem.

But all too often in the Bay Area, laypeople talk about it without the gravity that it deserves. Unserious comments, like the professor talking about "artillery distance", are what you can't make in polite society. And I think that's good.

High-speed microscale 3D printing
Yeah, if you compress a tar file with gzip (or bzip2 or zstd or whatever) then the compressor doesn't care about the file boundaries, so it will be able to take advantage of redundancies.

However, those compressors generally only have a small context window, so they'll only be able to take advantage of relatively nearby redundancies in the archive. They won't help you if the common substrings are separated by many megabytes of unrelated data. So the order in which you pack the files matters.

In theory, you could do a two-pass approach, where you first scan the entire set of files to create a (relatively small) shared dictionary that's as useful as possible, and then uses that dictionary to compress each file independently. I don't know of any archive format that does that, but you could roll your own using the zstd command line compressor.
