Its not about the sex appeal, its about actual sex

Depictions of that existed in the 60s and 70s in the US but was limited to some magazines, there was stigma of obtaining, possessing, browsing. There was stigma on the creators, and the creators relied on producers

Pretty much all of those frictions are gone, and now its an algorithm fueled funnel to independent creators and their highly interactive porn, from social media to subscription feeds. live streams weekly like a tv show from any adept creator. in some areas there’s a non-negligible to high chance that any pretty woman you meet and exchange social media with has a link to her porn or “content”, all while the followup direct messages never come for a more casual or nontransactional relationship, if replied to at all. a world where the strangers, random porn actors, are still accessible in a separate tab, or suggested on the site where the other girl’s profile led to. I’ve been at pool parties and bars where a girl shows me her OnlyFans content feed on her phone, just scrolling.

I think this has nothing to do with the consistency of an outlet, for a tease. And recognizing it as different explains the demand for these neutered films. A lot of people, the target audience, wants a break from being targeted.
Dancing is fun.

My wife was maid of honor (we weren't married yet) at her college roommate's wedding. I danced with several of their friends at the reception; one taught me to two-step (it was in San Antonio). I taught her basic swing. There was exactly zero romantic involvement; I was there with my girlfriend, for heaven's sake. But she was nice, she was fun, and we just chatted as we went through the dances. Got a couple of her funny college stories out of that. And that's what it's about: having an excuse to be physically close to someone else, doing an enjoyable activity that rewards skill, and to gossip a little. We, like all apes, are social animals. We're happier when we do that.
I just went through the exact same thought process reading this.

I'd been taught mitochondria maybe came from bacteria back in high school 40 years ago but I didn't realise till now that Lynn Margulis also proposed the cell nucleus arose in a similar way.

Absolutely fascinating. Especially the exotic multicellularity part. Maybe if it evolves even more multicellularity it will struggle with cancers of its own and have to reevolve tumor suppression, wouldn't that be something?!
> What are the legitimate use cases to not treat /proc as readonly,

Only some parts of proc are "read only." /proc/sys is filled with writable controls.

> my first impulse is "Why do we allow this?"

The user is allowed to do whatever they like with their machine. It's the reason I use linux. It never puts me in a position where "system policies" or other default "security theater" nonsense disadvantages me on my own hardware.

If you're that concerned you can easily add a policy framework, like SELinux, or others, which would prevent this from happening or raise an exception if it does.

> that seemingly doesn't have any legitimate use case on a server.

There are dozens of other ways to achieve this same effect that rely on mechanisms that have legitimate use cases. In particular if you are root you will not struggle to find ways to hide processes. In this case you can just observe "/proc/mounts" to see that something perfidious is occurring.

Hey buddy, I love to complain too, but honestly I find the Pudding extremely easy to use. What could be more simple than keep scrolling down?
well I am completely with you there - but you have to remember what the words "Corporate Firewall" might mean and that the only thing apparently protecting us from a Russian takeover is closing off all outgoing ports except 80 and 443 :)

I don't have an IP where i can just run Quassel on 443. Using it over websockets on a subdomain might indeed solve my troubles.
I am so glad you mentioned this. My son is intellectually challenged, and teaching him to wipe himself is . . . challenging. A bidet seems like an excellent game changer. Cheers!
> You only need a 20ish pound set of weights to build muscle, oddly. Don't even have to spend a ton of time on it. Can do a basic set of curls/whatever while cooking breakfast.

Eh, you can do almost anything with anything at a sufficient intensity frequently enough that you'll build muscle, and you definitely should, but I just feel like the more important thing is to find a good feedback cycle. Everyone is a little different, some people end up liking calisthenics or climbing or hiking or a combination of them, some people like the gym or free weights at home, but you gotta engage with it enough to have a serious possibility of either feeling results or other rewards, or lack thereof enough to move onto another idea.

If you don't see or feel results at the gym in the first month, if you set yourself up right you might meet someone to chat with and that may help spur you to keep going regardless.

If you don't feel results hiking after your first time, you've at least had an outdoor adventure. You may still have no motivation, try the other idea, go swimming whatever, but there are at least some other qualities present that help reinforce the desire to do the activity.

Eventually, you might find that your new default mode of operation in every other facet of life becomes activity first rather than something to fit in just during breakfast. At that point, it's harder to not work out or get activity than the reverse. 3 days go by and it feels odd that you've not done anything demanding in a while, and although it takes effort, it becomes easy enough to maintain long term after a certain threshold.

I'm using "you" in the general sense here, and otherwise agree with you, I just think the easiest and most private activities tend to reduce your surface area for discovering other ancillary benefits.

>The way we’d be in a better situation is if NATO had told Russia to take a flying fuck in 2008 and extended MAPs and interim security guarantees to Georgia and Ukraine, and backed those guarantees up with forward deployed forces.

I agree that MAPs and security guarantees in 2008 could have prevented Russian expansionism.

I agree that Russia would have significantly more control and influence in Ukraine with a "No" answer from NAT0, and be forced into many Pro-Russian positions.

I think better situation is relative to objectives. I think generally from the military strategic perspective, the current state of war is close to optimal for the USA, and far superior to either Ukraine in NATO or Ukraine in Russian control. It drains and isolates Russia, increases NATO spending, and spreads NATO influence. It does so for a tiny economic cost and no US military lives lost. It is a military strategists wet dream. However, I also think the current outcome is abhorrent from the moral, philosophical, and humanitarian perspective.

My main criticism is that I truly believe that US chose to take action to bring about this outcome over the much more humanitarian outcomes. It is easy to play chicken with Russia when the US has nothing to lose and everything to gain from a collision.

My ideal outcome from a moral perspective would have been a militarily neutral Ukraine (because I do not support extension of NATO for the sake of expansion) and some sort of autonomous Crimea and Donbas as Russian clients (because I support political self determination).

What criteria do you use to judge hypothetical outcomes, and what do you think should be optimized for? I suppose this is ultimately the crux of these disputes, and the historical chain of events is just window dressing.

Great data collection, nice data vil but somehow it fails to yield any interesting insights. I wish they had gotten into the why a bit more - are teams forced to choose jerseys that contrast with their opponents?

I had many debates about this with Prof. that are cell biologists, and if you google "Are mitochondria alive," the answer Gemini will give you is no. This is very controversial in my academic circles, but I appreciate your thoughts!
As someone who used to wear jerseys because I thought they looked cool when I was young, I would have never bought a plain white or gray one.

I think the city connect jerseys are only bad because they are basically a collection of random colors with, often times, no association to the team. But if they actually were team colors, they would have definitely been interesting to me.
Tangent; you reminded me about the Robitussin liquid (Dextromethorphan) in my pantry. It prescribes 20 mL doses but the bottle contains 118 mL total. Really grinds my gears this is legal.
Yes. We actually ran AppleLink.

Football ultras saying very nasty things and beating up eachother is usual in Europe. Local Arabs joining in when the opposing team is from Israel shouldn't come as surprise.

But on social media one group of Americans started talking about Jews being "pogromed" by Muslims and another group of Americans started celebrating that Israelis were getting beat up.

American social media is a threat against the social fabric of Europe.
I did not know that pseudeophendrine could be bought without a prescription until last year I think. I was deterred from buying it not because I fear putting my name down, but because I wrongly assumed I needed a prescription and thus a doctors visit to go purchase it.

There aren't exactly signs that say "Hey, the good stuff is behind the counter and you don't need a prescription to get it".
I wonder if there's a pattern to genes that are adjacent to the target ones, which is not typically found adjacent to the pseudo ones. In other words, can the "search term" be expanded to make it more selective and then take action on the target region within it.

A feed is: a server that consumes the firehose and decided on whether to store posts, when loaded in the app it returns some post to create a feed

So essentially you only store references to part of the network rather than storing the whole thing

As someone who learns really well by listening - things I hear tend to stick - audiobooks have been the most enjoyable and immersive way to learn Russian and Ukrainian.

Returning to my favorite books is a concentrated dose of spaced repetition; e.g. an Andy Weir book will have a lot of scientific language, classics like the Lord of the Rings are rich with literary language and description.

GERDA – German Election Database
Every year I battle with a few permission related bugs in my app. Somehow macOS will randomly block some file accesses on some machines in some circumstances.

Take security scoped bookmarks. The only way that sandboxed apps can persistently access files outside their sandbox. It's an important feature. It's broken on some Macs. I know from logs that about 0.5% of my users run into this bug. It's been broken for years, and every time I report the problem to Apple they ask me for steps to reproduce or and Xcode sample project. I have no idea what to do, it's a bug in ScopedBookmarkAgent or in SecKeychain somewhere.

With Sequoia, they managed to break the feature for about 10% of users. That was apparently enough to get Apple to pay attention, so they fixed it in macOS 15.1. I think it's back to 0.5% now.

Somehow Apples own apps aren't affected by these bugs. Bugs that mostly affect 3rd party apps seem to slip through a lot more easily.

The security tech in macOS is unreliable garbage. And people praise it, they just think 3rd party apps are buggy. But for a lot of my bugs, the bug is in the macOS frameworks, but users come to me and complain.

It's no wonder that many developers don't sandbox their apps. It's just perpetually broken.

I wish they would make their tech reliable.

I once got a nil pointer exception when I updated a helm chart. I wondered why the hell am I getting a nil pointer exception for updating a YAML file. After some investigation I found an issue on GitHub where the maintainers said the Go team says this is an intended behavior for some case in Go templates.

Wasn't fun.
> Couldn't you use the same trick on /proc/mounts itself?

Unfortunately, yes. 'bind' allows mount to bind over individual files and not just directories. Which is a little bit insane.

In any case, if you are suspicious, 'umount /proc/mounts'. It either returns ok or it returns "umount: /proc/mounts: not mounted."

In this case isn't it up to states to decide how they select electors? So in sense, nothing stops any state from assigning them in some proportional manner.

And one could even ask, if it is electors who decide why not get them campaign? Not voting for president, but voting for person who votes for president. Isn't that the intention of EC anyway?

This certainly highlights the problem. For context, I wasn't suggesting eugenics, although I suppose that's one way to enforce things (one I would never support, anyways).
Except for the most trivial programs, clap should not make a factor of 10 difference, especially for incremental builds.

For serde, I can see it if you use it a lot. There is an experiment to try to cache the macro expansion results to not need to run macro expansion during incremental builds. For full rebuilds, there is an in-work PR to decouple serde's traits from the derive so deserializers can be built in parallel to the rest of your serde code. There is also an RFC for declarative derives. Likely, serde won't be able to use it immediately but we'd like to get it to the point that serde can, getting rid of some big dependencies.

Well, saying hi isn't deep at some meat market bar. But I remember in my younger days that my now-wife and I went to the same bar often enough that we knew most of the regulars, and she was talking to someone we knew well, so I was on my own.

I chatted up a woman who was probably 20 years my senior, and the two of us had grown up in the same neighborhood in that city separated only by time. We had a wonderful conversation for an hour or so. My now-wife came over at one point, I said we were having a conversation about my neighborhood, and she said, oh, you people always find each other (it was pretty distinctive in the city, and yes, we really did find each other). Now-wife walked away and went back to the others she had been hanging out with. I knew the exact house this woman had grown up in (it was one block away from where I was living at the time), having ridden my bicycle past it hundreds of times as a kid, and just listened to the stories of what it had been like then.

The bartender played no role in it at all.

I wonder how much of a boom Russia will see from émigrés returning home if the political environment lets up a little
It would be great if laws worked like software deployments:

1. Roll out law to 2%, look for any obvious unintended effects (like we check for crashes)

2. Roll out law to 50%, study for effectiveness. Is the intended positive effect happening in the experiment population? Any effect on the control population?

3. Finally, roll out law to 100% and keep monitoring.

4. Be ready to roll back to 0% if failures seen at any stage.

5. Be ready to apply a zero day patch after it's at 100% if edge cases are found.

But, we don't do any of this! Lawmakers make a law and yolo it into production on a fixed date, and it's often impossible to roll it back or modify it.
“Startups” are not “the old days”.
I guessed wrong from the title. I was expecting a C/C++ programmer that tried to stick too much stuff on the stack and crashing immediately on start. That's usually the case when someone asks me why their previously working program doesn't even make it to the first instruction.
Eukaryotes generally can’t survive without mitochondria either. It seems silly to discuss if different subsystems in a living organism are independently “alive.” It’s a bit like arguing if just the wings or just the engine of an airplane are flying machines.
