What are you doing instead? I'm curious what you're comparing it to.
Woman here. The thesis of this article is a gross overgeneralization. There is no doubt in my mind that, if sex robots became more commonplace, some women would be using them. Though we tend to be into different things, our sexual interests are every bit as diverse and salacious as men's. If men exist who are interested in some specific kink or sex toy, it's practically a certainty that there exist women who are into the same thing.
Right, I invented the jrockway function which is defined as f(2, 2, 2, 2) = 7 so I made 7. Maybe the rule is "someone else has to invent the function", but I invented that so you can use it. (Please make me a the__alchemist function.)

Maybe the rule should be that the function has to be invented before the inventor has knowledge of this game. But now I'm just going through /usr/bin looking for binaries where the 2222th byte is 0x7.
About 2006 or so, when I hadn't been homeless anymore, my parents helped me pick out a Swiffer system so perhaps one day I'd clean my own floor or shower

I was lamenting to them how wasteful/expensive were the wet pad refills, and Dad goes, "you think you could rinse some out and reuse them?" Oh... hmm... what a pragmatic idea
Even if you ignore the potential implications to your health, realising that dozens of homeless drug addicts touch that very same door handle every day justifies a small detour to find a better door, or at the very least using your sleeve to avoid direct contact. Also, I did leave my phone in the house when taking out trashes, so can’t say I’m that attached.

While clojure has gained (accreted) more options of ways to run things, every single one of the ways you mentioned still work! It’s extremely stable in this regard. Nothing was taken away because there is a new hotness. Sure, things were added. Why is that bad at all?

Looking for the most favorable tax climate is fine. The practice where states will roll out huge one-off incentive packages is where I take issue.
> but I will say also that the Democrats have a hand in this outcome

It's easy to blame the Democrats. What I see is that the majority of the population chose Trump, and after weeks of that non-sense he is still high in popularity.

Those who voted Trump have a responsibility in this, and it wouldn't feel unfair if they had to endure the consequences. What seems unfair, however, is that many people in the rest of the world did not have a say in that and have to suffer because of it.

So I’ve been a happy Bitwarden subscriber since about 2020. I originally picked it because it seemed like a good compromise between open source options like keepassxc and something less trustworthy like one password.

I haven’t really be paying much attention to Bitwarden lately, but I’ve heard they’ve taken vc/got bought out or something. So for those more in the know, is it time to start migrating? Or does Bitwarden still seem like it’s on a good path?
How does this compare to Authy? I use Bitwarden and have been very frustrated with their UI changes.

Unless someone can vouch for you at the company you're applying to, that's unfortunately the game that job seekers have to play.

> You can't even get hired if you're proficient in a language, but don't know framework X.

You can't even get past the very first screening filter. If job asks for, say, 5 years of experience with React, it doesn't matter if you have experience in any other frameworks but "only" 4yoe with React or less. You won't pass the first filter because 4<5.

Sucks if you don't want to lie.

> I've been programming JavaScript since like 1997. Sure, I'll pick up React no problem, but I won't be touching it unless I'm paid, because React is a disgrace.

At the beginning of the month I had an interview for a role that needed to extract a Node.js project to its own microservice. I have literally done this in production (but not Node.js). I have also migrated another project from NoSQL to SQL (but the project was not Node.js). I have developed microservices currently used in production (from design to Terraform to implementation).

But long story short, I didn't pass the initial interview because I haven't been paid to use Node.js during a recent 5-year job. The interviewer even asked, quoting to the best of my memory (and translating to English), "sorry, but none of this was with Node.js?". They were hyperfocused on Node.js as specific tech.

Previous production experience with Node.js? Experience with JavaScript/TypeScript in general? Doesn't matter.

That was not even worth the benefit of allowing me to pass to the technical interview to let me prove myself. And I wouldn't have even minded a live coding/pair-programming exercise.

It means I still need to work better on how I market myself to non-tech people.

Why Clojure = for Datomic, Rama, Electric and Missionary. No need for long blog post - this stack screams if your app fits within its intended operational margins - e.g. enterprise cloud information systems and rich interactive web products.
When I saw this news story about the 5 bullet email it didn’t strike me as an outrageous ask, but then I saw some of the chatter where people were going ballistic about it.

I was interested in the HN response to it. I mean probably a good majority of us on here do daily stand-ups where the previous day’s efforts are bulleted and the day’s target tasks are ID’d. So it doesn’t really surprise me that this hasn’t really provoked the HN outrage we usually see with all things DOGE.
> 1) already have effective anti-amyloid monoclonal antibodies, and 2) they don't seem to work that well

I fear you may be falling into the exact trap that the person you replied to, is warning against.

There is not just one thing called "amyloid", so not only are the "anti-amyloid monoclonal antibodies" not effective against all amyloid, the amyloid against which they are effective may well not be disease-contributing amyloid.

The state of the field is much more complicated that deciding between pop-sci summaries of "amyloid bad" and "amyloid irrelevant" and directing funding accordingly.
Why do you say 1Password isn’t trustworthy? We’ve been using 1P close to a decade and they’ve managed to not leak our passwords that whole time, unlike many other cloud password managers who have had breaches.
To be fair, there's plenty to lambaste him for. But that's not the question. The question is, what's to prevent my doctor from prescribing "treatments" that are based on recently (or not so recently) discredited research?

When government money is spent on activity that benefits the wider population (or even worse, eliminates a niche that could be used to extract wealth!), that is wasted money not going into the oligarchs pockets. Hence the call for efficiency - to eliminate this waste.
That’s my exact point. The population isn’t all Chinese or considers themselves China. Taipei itself is divided into Japanese, Korean, and Chinese areas all with a distinct culture. There is also an evolving Taiwanese culture. The government is the Republic of China and is a completely different government. It broke away because it does not consider itself China or invest in those values. The island and nation are Taiwan. It is a complex situation for sure, but Taiwan is not China. Once you leave Customs/Immigration at a port you will not see China mentioned anywhere.

Bad try.
I was in disposable diapers as a kid but they used cloth reusable for my brother 2 years younger than me. One night they ran out of disposable so they outfitted me with a cloth one, next morning I was dry and I refused to wear diapers after that.

There's no point in going to university anymore when you can just go straight into big tech. If you're doing anything mathematical, your late teens and early twenties are going to be some of your most productive years. Why should universities benefit from those years when they don't do frontier research anymore and have degenerated into quasi religious institutions that hand out credentials to anyone with a pulse in order to get rich shackling you with debt? Big tech will literally give you money to be educated.
You can pay customary $10 per year to bitwarden to support and still selfhost valultwarden. Some people want to have control and don't want to have to deal with VC money getting in the way (1password was a hard learnt lesson). Also vaultwarden seems lot cleaner and easier to install and manage than official bitwarden server. And you still rely on their clients.
Being a PK (as well as a thief/PK hybrid) in UO is some of the most fun I've ever had in a video game. There's nothing quite like the adrenaline rush of being a fugitive and surviving, picking people off and scavenging what you can before the fuzz arrive.

PKing had a deleterious effect on the community -- I'll admit -- but I had fun as both a PK and as a victim trying to escape or exact revenge. UO (pre-Renaissance) remains the multiplayer game with the richest social dynamics I've ever played. When they finally got rid of non-consensual PKing they totally destroyed this richness. Instead of behaving like real people in a community who work together to solve their own problems they had the benefit of inviolable game mechanics to protect them.

So people's reliance on one another disintegrated and they stopped engaging with each other. Without the threat of violence to settle things, people became anti-social and had no problem being very rude to one another. It was tragic!

"The Prince" is the important one, IIRC he wrote some plays and such too but Prince is where his name got associated with cutthroat politics. It's a pretty boring read but it's not difficult to understand, I read it when I was 14 and I didn't have any significant difficulties even though I lacked context in contemporary Italian politics. Even though I was bored out of my mind (i did not read this book by choice) its been a major influence on my life because it explains all the different ways your choices can have surprising results in the long run if they're planned well by you (or your adversary).

It's a book he wrote about how to maintain power in a feudal society, with references to many historical events to back up his arguments. Usually it comes down to being wary of accepting help from somebody else unless you understand their motivations, what they stand to gain, and what you stand to lose in the long run. It's sort of like "Art of War" in that it's written for a specific time and place but the principles behind it are so universal they can be applied to many different situations, even business management and interpersonal relationships.

So anyways, my point in the OP above was that this is the sort of situation that he wrote extensively about; obviously there weren't any computers or cloud storage in 15th-century Italy, but he definitely makes several points on the dangers of relying too heavily on third parties for resources, because it gives them leverage with which to manipulate them.

Once you get the hang of it, it's not a big effort any more. And the really lazy option is to just use an Arc.
I don't understand. I learnt about optimizers, and genetic algorithms in my AI courses. There are lots of different things we call AI, from classical AI (algorithms for discrete and continuous search, planning, sat, Bayesian stuff, decision trees, etc.) to more contemporary deep learning, transformers, genAI etc. AI is a very very broad category of topics.
>I think if anything, it's one of the most generous employers around.

My secondhand experience with some colleagues would not agree. They weren't the worst, but they seem to have felt Meta was the most cut heavy at the turn of the decade. Which was interesting to hear.

But sure, it was generally considered higher total comp than Google or Microsoft. If minmaxing money is all you care about, Meta is the way to go. Or was.

>Life isn't wholly not about money either. Money is a tool that enables a lot of things.

Yeah, hence work-life "balance". what are you working for if you spend all your days focused on money and not on life?

Sigh, another day, another post I must copy paste my bookmarked Wikipedia entry for:

> "The AI effect" refers to a phenomenon where either the definition of AI or the concept of intelligence is adjusted to exclude capabilities that AI systems have mastered. This often manifests as tasks that AI can now perform successfully no longer being considered part of AI, or as the notion of intelligence itself being redefined to exclude AI achievements.[4][2][1] Edward Geist credits John McCarthy for coining the term "AI effect" to describe this phenomenon.[4]

> McCorduck calls it an "odd paradox" that "practical AI successes, computational programs that actually achieved intelligent behavior were soon assimilated into whatever application domain they were found to be useful in, and became silent partners alongside other problem-solving approaches, which left AI researchers to deal only with the 'failures', the tough nuts that couldn't yet be cracked."[5] It is an example of moving the goalposts.[6]

extend the "party" of youth for a little bit longer

Extending the party of youth is roughly one of the benefits of social welfare. When we took the children out of the factories in the 1920s, we extended their youth. When we sent them to college, we extended their youth. When we economically constrained them with high real estate prices, we extended their youth.

Extending youthhood is fine, so long as we do it appropriately. For example, if we did it right, someone entering retirement enters a new youthhood of carefreeness. If we do it wrong, someone enters youthhood in theirs 20s as a dependent of their parents. There's a lot of wrong versions of the last thing I said, where people are kept children in academia to be parented indefinitely by tenor.

It's delicate. We want to provide as much youthhood as possible in a good way, if we can.

As to your first point, you can only be speaking of white men. To this I'll say, white men that come from the same economic situation should have access to the same scholarships. That's a easy one to fix. If you are working class then you are working class, this life is hard enough already.

Salt and tea are good examples for the 2 reasons that can be the cause for finding the same word in many languages.

Salt is an ancient Indo-European word that was already in use several millennia ago, so it has been inherited in most Indo-European languages.

Tea is a relatively recent borrowing in the European languages, which has spread from one language to another, with a few pronunciation variants, across all Europe, regardless of the genetic relationships between languages.

Most Americans care about creating American jobs in the private sector not about growing the government by creating more government jobs. More Americans are employed by industry and small businesses (as it should be) than by government.

Why would you think there needs to be one giant employer instead of a healthy market of many?

Stats:

The Bureau of Labor and Statistics puts the total number of Americans employed by government (at any level, federal, state, local, or military) at roughly 23 million, as of Feb 2025. At the same time, private businesses employ roughly 132 million Americans, vastly outstripping the employment of the government.

This is what you want. More teachers than administrators. More private employment than tax-supported services. We need government. We need good and effective bureaucrats, even. But we should always be cautious about the economic friction that increases in the government sector usually cause.
Glad to see the Gentoo folks working on porting some of these ancient code bases. I still see a good bit of C99, and sometimes even C89 when I poke around in source packages.

Even more importantly, it's good to see them documenting the process to their usual high standards. Once again, Gentoo distinguishes itself nearly without peer in that area. Only the Arch wiki even comes close to Gentoo's standard.

If your goal is to 'eviscerate' an opinion, you shouldn't be surprised when people don't engage. If the objective of a debater is to get the other side to simply shut up, they're missing the real value of debate. They might think they've 'won the debate' by getting others to stop talking, but in reality they'll keep thinking the way they do, and just exclude you from the conversation.

You'll only learn how they really think when you see election outcomes, or which side they're standing on when it's 'ok' to dissent, and by then it's too late.
