> Women with unrealistic expectations creating the conditions for their own loneliness.

Replace that with 'solitude' and the article pretty much explains why that is a non-issue. Women deciding they are better off alone is not a problem. Accusing them of being unhappy and then purporting to explain why is pretty weird.

If there are psychological issues with people being lonely, coming to the conclusion that they should date more and if they can't it's "women's fault" is kinda flabbergasting. The social fabric isn't made of romantic pairs, and that's definitely not women's collective responsibility.
I'll try to use the more common Windows/MacOS terms for it, but in emacs I often have the same file opened in two different panes within one window or two separate windows. I do this when I want to be looking at one part of a file while editing another.

If you have chosen not to save your browser history then obviously the history will not persist - the feature you opted not to use has been disabled as designed. If you set your browser up to have persistent history (the default for all mainstream browsers) and ensure the option to restore tabs on browser restart is enabled (I think also the default nowadays due to rise of mobile) it really does just work. Worst case after an epic crash that even the browser itself doesn't recognize Ctrl-Shift-T will get you back, even if you had dozens of open tabs in multiple windows, even after a reboot.

For other stuff, if you always have the same set of programs open and always put them in the same place, your window manager should restore that for you after a reboot on UNIX. It's been two decades since I used X frequently but even back then window managers could pin apps to fixed screen positions. On Windows default positioning has often been a bit less predictable, but there are custom window managers there too if you really want it. In any case the default window manager has plenty of keyboard shortcuts to very quickly open and arrange apps how you want them.

My work laptop boots to logon before I even get the charger, mouse and monitor plugged in, and after typing my password I'm back with my browser and IDE running, VPN connected, WSL up etc in less than a minute, usually while still mid smalltalk/greetings with my colleagues.

With the move to cloud-saved everything and the expectation of users that all their data should always be synced across all their devices, you need to go out of your way to find and/or configure apps to not automatically persist settings and state these days. For some apps I make that decision deliberately because I don't trust the middle man (e.g. bookmarks and tab sync) but that's a personal choice I make to forgo convenience for privacy. If the FreeBSD (or Linux) desktop experience is not doing this kind of stuff out of the box, then I think that's one of the first things it could do to meet the expectations of people coming from Windows/Android.

From my perspective suspend/restore is perhaps fine if your laptop never leaves the office, but I usually find myself more annoyed than delighted when it kicks in by accident. Your battery life starts to hinge on literally the efficacy of your laptop's physical hinge, which if you bash your computer around a lot during commute is less dependable than an on/off switch. And nothing worse than having your back suddenly get hot because your laptop decided to wake up while you're cycling in multi-lane traffic, especially if your morning schedule has you in meetings instead of charging at your desk.
I did something like this for a couple of weeks recently. I call it 'no idle screen time'. Any activity that involved using a screen (phone, computer, or television) had to have a purpose. The purpose could be simple such as messaging friends, finding an answer to something I was curious about, or simply looking at the weather forecast. Usually it would be work related.

Benefits became clear almost immediately. I got more actual work done. I suddenly had way more free time than I imagined. I renewed my library card and started reading again. My focus improved. I actually started actively listening to music again (rather than just having it on in the background). I got more exercise. I took the time to prepare better food. A certain low-level sense of anxiety that had become all too familiar simply disappeared.

I did slowly regress. It started with watching a movie or show in the evening, that sort of thing. Now, here I am writing this comment. Probably time to give it another go.
I agree. I really like the ALT shortcuts on Haiku, and I remap my external keyboard on macOS so command is mapped to ALT rather than Super.
Is there really that direct of a relationship between hiring and interest rates?
> entropy is just a fancy word for ‘number of possible arrangements’

It isn’t though.

Entropy is a fancy word for potential distribution over negative potential. Negative potential is the “surface area” over which potential may distribute. The “number of possible arrangements” casually fits into this, yet misses some unintuitive possibilities, like the resistive variance or other characteristics not preempted by who ever constructed the intellectual model.

Idealists insist entropy is a scalar state resolve of delta probability in their model. They are self deceived. Entropy is the existential tendency for potential to distribute toward equilibrium.

As long as boffins can throw away results that do not correlate, they can insist it is anything they like.
Emacs pauses are almost always due to some operation blocking in the main thread. It's pretty annoying and is mostly a consequence to a lot of things effectively being single-threaded. Stock emacs doesn't do this very often, but third party packages that might do expensive tasks often do
Putting cursors within the document does not preclude supporting different cursors for different windows.
I have recently wondered why Ruby on Rails is using a full-length SHA256 for their ETag fingerprinting (64 characters) when a UUID at 36 chars would probably be entirely enough to prevent collisions and be more readable at the same time. Esbuild on the other hand seems to use just 32bit (8 chars) for their content hash.

I wouldn't say starting your own business is bad advice, I think it's a great idea as those who do it gain experience running a business, risk, capital allocation, etc.

Sure AI is coming for some jobs, but I would say it is ideal to start young, make mistakes quickly, learn adapt etc, rather than don't do a business, start a family and you cannot take any risks, after all I am talking about highly ambitious and smart juniors so it is a path they can take if they want to.

Sometimes group activities can be helpful. Have you tried inviting 3-5 friends to go out for drinks, go for a hike, play a sport, play cards, watch a game, etc.?

It’s less intimidating when you’re first getting to know someone if there’s a group, and then you’ll have something memorable in common in the future when you meet 1 on 1.
And this is what it is all about as they are now seniors, I'm sure startups are now vying for their experience. (even though they probably cannot afford them anyway)

I don’t have the right background/expertise to dig deeper into a different way of looking at this, but am still hoping that some writer will analyze this as a kind of asymmetrical warfare.

Because looking at it that way, might open different analysis than most of what I’ve seen so far.
>The same word applies to roads that do not pay for themselves through gas tax and/or tolls.

I'm German and I can tell you it really does not. Like in a lot of countries car infrastructure is treated like the state of nature, it's just somehow there, and the infrastructure burden of parking, road construction and what have you isn't a topic. It's the 'default culture' and the support it gets is just the status quo, when you try to internalize the cost you cause a shitstorm. Look at how well surge pricing or road toll debates go over in most places, or how sensitive people are to fuel prices.

Rail transport be it commercial or individual despite the fact that it's so much cheaper (in particular on emissions as well) is always one political decision away from being privatized or culled.

So, essentially, you're just doing cache eviction in software. That's obviously a lot of overhead, but at least it gives you eviction control. However, there is very little to do when it comes to cache eviction. The algorithms are all well known and there is little innovation in that space. So baking that into the hardware is always better, for now.
Oh no! I was hoping sha256 would last us until the quantum computing cow came home.
Whoops, thanks. Wrote this one-off and never needed to change the inset so didn't catch that. Fixed!
Isn’t it because you can generate the same content two different times and hash it and come to the same ETag value?

Using UUID here wouldn’t help here because you don’t want different identifiers for the same
content. Time-based UUID versions would negate the point of ETag, and otherwise if you use UUIDv8 and simply put a hash value in there, all you’re doing is reducing the bit depth of the hash and changing its formatting, for limited benefit.
In the very limited time I used typst it has been pretty amazing, but imho there is one missing feature that a LaTeX successor, but even more so, templating engine should have.
Come up or adapt a format, that can defer certain styling decisions to the consumer of the document. Stuff like, font, font size, line spacing, citation style, double or single column, numeration style, etc.

On a different note, we got to find a better way to exchange data than pdf reports. In my totally made up estimation about 10% of development time for enterprise software is spend on variations of these pdf templating tools and another 20% on extracting data from such generated pdfs.

> EVERY os is hardware-centric, and they all have different orbits

Kind of why I like macOS (works fine on any Mac, with about 7 years of support – though I wish it were 10, and x86 support may stop sooner) and Windows (runs on any x86 PC, games work without issue, years of updates and backward compatibility.)

But on a mainstream x86 laptop like a ThinkPad, I'd expect Ubuntu/Debian/etc. and FreeBSD to work well, for 10 years or more of updates. (And I'd expect most games to work on Linux with Proton.)
People don't think of it as a subsidy because they are not charged per use a la toll road.

That's indeed true! But the premise of this question explores the scenario: What if we did rewrite Emacs from scratch?
While I can understand that some more extreme parents might go for this (I imagine there were some like this even before the internet and smartphones), that seems... well, a bit extreme?

Certainly sitting in front of a TV all day is bad for you, but I think policing TV use for a child to ensure it doesn't become a problem is a lot easier than policing smartphone use.

Just the beginning is demoralizing. There are many kinds of trust, and quite all are to be gained. True learning require interest and passion, and the teacher has to discover and suggest this in Students. this kind of reasoning seems by the point of view an (educated?)adult, so full of 'intellect', way different from a joung mind (sadly).
I think students, even very young, can feel and understand very well the difference between an iconic autority placed on the highest seat, and someone that can be trust.
Is not a surprise the fact that experiencing this kind of education someone become individualist. Trust is a -consequence-, not the cause.

Never has. In very simple terms, it was always about standardizing OS interfaces for variant Unices. Over time, it’s moved on to be aligned with POSIX.

Frankly, what you are describing is a money-printing machine. You should expect anyone who has figured out such a thing to keep it as a trade secret, until the FOSS community figures out and publishes something comparable.

I don’t think the tech is ready yet for other reasons, but absence of anyone publishing is not good evidence against.
I am a big fan of the new uuid v7 format.

It has the advantage of being a drop in replacement most places everyone uses v4 today. It also has the advantage over other specs of ulid in that it can be parsed easily even in languages and databases with no libraries because you just need some obvious substr replace and from_hex to extract the timestamp. Other specs typically used some custom lexically sortable base64 or something that always needed a library.

Early drafts of the spec included a few bits to increment if there were local ids generated in the same millisecond for sequencing. This was a good fit for lots of use cases like using the new ids for events generated in normal client apps. Even though it didn’t make the final spec I think it worth implementing as it doesn’t break compatibility

> BUT.. ever since then i have been looking for another gig like that, to no avail.

I just mentor people whether the larger org wants me to or not. I'm running a programming class for my colleagues whose backgrounds are weak. Either fresh out of college and never worked on anything big, or worked as engineers but never developers. It's very common in aerospace for EEs to end up as developers despite their lack of knowledge around programming and CS.

I just slotted out 1 hour every two weeks and invited people. Now I've got some of them writing tools on their own where they previously would have needed more assistance. Ths is the first time I've done classes rather than more one-on-one style, but regardless of the style, if a manager complains I just ignore it. What are they going to do? Fire me for building up the team and making everyone more competent, capable, and independent?
A contract isn't a subsidy... A subsidy would be giving them dollars without any particular strings attached except perhaps to use those funds to develop the product. If the contract is to provide money in exchange for services, that's called a transaction.

Press Ctrl with a side of your palm, I've been doing that for years after a brief stint with emacs, no problems with the finger.

Also, on decent keyboards (not necessarily expensive) you can remap the keys anyway.
I wouldn't consider basic stuff like grooming to be "trying to get other people to be interested in you" aside from in the really strict sense (e.g. literally going outside at all is trying to get other people to be interested in you).
HN is small as a discussion community, but it is huge in terms of the traffic it generates to top-ranked URLs. There are fairly mainstream publications that optimize for HN, and I have spoken to marketers and PR people who described HN as by far the most significant source of traffic to their sites.

It doesn't necessarily translate to sales or lasting attention, but if you're after brand recognition or SEO, it's great. Spend some time on /newest to see how many organizations are desperate to get a piece of this.
I’ve done keto a couple times in the past, even back when it was called Atkins. It absolutely was a calorie deficit diet since it was difficult to eat that many calories consistently to go over my BMR for more than a few days at a time.

Friends doing it also had the same experience as I did.

Not saying it isn’t as advertised, but everyone on it I knew (n=14 or so) was getting results from fewer calories after we all decided to start carefully logging food intake.

It’s a great diet that works, but via other mechanisms for many vs ketosis.

It’s still a restriction diet that poses a lot of challenges for most to remain consistent with on a long term basis.
