> Don't even worry about dating / the apps.

Quite frankly this is the worst advice. As other commenters have noted if you tend to enjoy solo activities or activities that don't naturally involve the types of women you'd like to date, then it's not going to lead to you meeting anyone.

> You will eventually meet a partner through these group activities

Ah, the hope and pray method. Doesn't work. And when you do meet a girl you actually like, how do you figure you'll have the social skills to carry yourself through the dating process and developing a relationship? It's just natural? No, it's not.

This also doesn't work if you want to date an abundance of women and it doesn't allow you to meet women when you choose. Ever see a cute girl at the grocery store or at a coffee shop and you wanted to ask her out but you didn't know what to say? No amount of skiing and mountain climbing is going to fix that.

> but as the author admits a bit autistic

I don't know why (well, I can guess) it's such a turn-off for people to approach dating systematically. We don't criticize people for practicing math or coding, yet when it comes to social skills, if you're doing anything other than "just being yourself", it's somehow "wrong".
A few years back I did an eval of cross-platform frameworks to target (in order) Windows, MacOS, Linux, maybe Android. This was around the time of peak complaining about Electron bloating out the installer for every crapplet to 35MB -- so I was prejudiced against Electron going in.

I came to the conclusion that they were all atrociously awful for both DX and UX except for Electron and JavaFX (maybe that's because I'm a Java fanatic.)
> It’s faster at AI than an Nvidia RTX4090, because 96GB of the 128GB can be allocated to the GPU memory space

No definitely. RTX4090 definitely use fast graphics RAM (though it is usually previous generation, but overclocked and very wide bus).
AMD Strix Halo definitely use standard DDR5 which is not so fast.

And yes, Strix Halo GPU using "3dcache", but as officials said, CPU don't have access to GPU cache, because "have not seen any app significantly benefited from such access".

So probably, internal SoC bus should have less delay than discrete GPU on PCIe, but not too much different.
And why wouldn’t he? His name is such a widely loved brand right now.
SSI is an interesting idea, but the actual advantage is mostly to improve efficiency when running your distributed code on a single, or few nodes. You still have to write your code with some very real awareness of the relevant issues when running on many nodes, but now you are also free to "scale down" and be highly efficient on a single node, since your code is still "natively" written for running on that kind of system. You are not going to gain much by opportunistically running bad single-node codes on larger systems, since that will be quite inefficient anyway.

Also, running a large multi-node SSI system means you mostly can't partition those nodes ever, otherwise the two now-separated sets of nodes could both progress in ways that cannot be cleanly reconciled later. This is not what people expect most of the time when connecting multiple computers together.
> For me, I don't know this person, which means that all the words are completely meaningless.

Because you don't know who Yegge is, the words are meaningless to you? So a body of text is meaningful only if you know who the author is? That's...lame.
Most practical parallel computing hardware had queues to handle the mismatch in compute speed for various CPUs to run different algorithms on part of the data.

Eliminating the CPU bound compute, and running everything truly in parallel eliminates the need for the queues and all the related hardware/software complexity.

Imagine a sea of LUTs (look up tables), that are all clocked and only connected locally to their neighbors. The programming for this, even as virtual machine, allows for exploration of a virtually infinite design space of hardware with various tradeoffs for speed, size, cost, reliability, security, etc. The same graph could be refactored to run on anything in that design space.

The nice thing is that even today, some American astronauts are flying to the ISS from Russia on Russian rockets, and some Russian astronauts are flying from the USA on American rockets. They're doing that for redundancy of getting their people to space, and for the general cooperation.
Unfortunately most consumers are unwilling to pay what something is worth to them. Businesses are often the same so it isn't just consumer behaviour.

Meeting the right person should be worth a lot, and we should be happy to pay thousands for that.

Of course the profit depends on the user statistics too: I'm not sure what the economic term for profit thresholds for power law masses versus targeting - where say lots of users with a low profits per user (say advertising) beats reasonable profits per user (say kagle).

Someone signed up to Amazon with an email address of mine, and saved their credit card details.

I couldn’t get any attention from Amazon, and just got generic responses telling me I could reset my password, etc. In the end, I signed up to Amazon prime, I think to test some reassurance they had given me - I wasn’t expecting it to work.

The email saying I had just accidentally made a purchase with someone else’s credit card got Amazon’s attention. I think they also gave me a telling off, which I thought was ridiculous.

Not long after, someone else signed up to Spotify with my email address too. I think it was a child/shared account or something. I spent a while trying to improve their music taste, but I think we both were suffering from the clash of algorithms because they cancelled it soon after.

I haven’t had any people reverse-hacking themselves for a while now.

The key limit is the rate of fsyncs, which is constrained by the user mode to kernel mode transition and physical characteristics of the storage device. In the good old days, it was about a millisecond due to spinning disk latencies, but even on the best SSDs it's about 200 microseconds. This is only about 5K transactions per second, maximum, no matter how trivial the transactions are!

With automatic batching, trivial transactions can be grouped together so that the bottleneck becomes bandwidth, not an absolute rate.

You get to have your cake and eat it too: There's no additional latency added using automatic batching of transactions because when the I/O queue is empty, the next transaction commits immediately, same as normal. If the disk is already in the middle of an fsync, the next one will have to queue up behind it in the storage subsystem anyway, so the DB engine may as well accumulate more transactions in-memory while it is waiting.
Do you publish an IP range?
I am sure plenty of people, if not majority of people will happy pay the 10% premium just because the subscription goes through Apple and have a peace of mind. That allows them to easily unsubscribe.

That is the thing about the whole 30%. It is not flexible, stringent and does not adopt to market. Even Tax by state have more flexility than they do.

And I have been saying this since 2013 but every time I get downvoted to oblivion for it. If Apple had move their Game into a Separate Store. They would have kept 75% to 80% of their App Store revenue at 30% cut. They could then charge 10% on top of all subscription and 15% for downloads. Once you include all the payment processing fees, fraud and additional services and value Apple offers the 10% extra meant for example Netflix actually earns more from an Apple's sign up. That create incentives for other companies to work with this Model. While Apple would still keep ~90% of their current App Store revenue. And I assume without much of the backlash and regulation that they had to fight and costing them hundreds of millions in operation, PR and brand damages.
> "Obstacles don't block the path. They are the path."

This is a modern translation of what Marcus Aurelius said in "Meditations", his private diary. This particular paraphrasing and interpretation is by Ryan Holiday, a modern stoic with many books on the topic to his name. You would enjoy them.

The original quote:

"In one respect man is the nearest thing to me, so far as I must do good to men and endure them. But so far as some men make themselves obstacles to my proper acts, man becomes to me one of the things which are indifferent, no less than the sun or wind or a wild beast. Now it is true that these may impede my action, but they are no impediments to my affects and disposition, which have the power of acting conditionally and changing: for the mind converts and changes every hindrance to its activity into an aid; and so that which is a hindrance is made a furtherance to an act; and that which is an obstacle on the road helps us on this road."

The original code does not matter. What matters is the code for the binaries you are running. That is the entire point, and that specific garantee has far reaching consequences, even if you apparently can't imagine them.
Something that follows this pattern of a single file backend is PocketBase. I’ve used it on personal projects and, while not being 1.0 yet, it’s growing quickly
> Of course they are considered problematic in Rust.
> And leaks are hard to code by accident in Rust.
> ...

I enjoyed this gem and its descendants from the comments. What I see instead, commonly, even in big rust projects, is that it's easy to accidentally define something with a longer lifetime than you intend. Some of that happens accidentally (not recognizing the implications of an extra reference here and there when the language frees things based on static detections of being unused). Much more of it happens because the compiler fights against interesting data structures -- e.g., the pattern of allocating a vec as pseudo-RAM, using indices as pseudo-pointers, and never freeing anything till the container itself is unused.

There's nothing wrong with those techniques per se, but the language tends to paint you into a bit of a corner if you're not very good and very careful, so leaks are a fact of life in basically every major Rust project I've seen not written by somebody like BurntSushi, even when that same sort of project would not have a leak in a GC language.
Your government isn't the only one out there. If your government can have a backdoor, so can every other government. If the US, EU, Russia, and China all have backdoors to everything, who are you keeping it secret from?
The author is correct in many ways. Publishing seems like a textbook example of "the longhouse." But even if his ideal author wrote his ideal novel, would any of his peers read it? Almost every educated, polite, and competent man in my life is a total philistine. He won't open a book unless there's a dragon on the cover or a colon in the title. It's definitely a chicken and egg problem.

The last time I worked alongside men (and women) who enjoyed nuanced literature was in a call center, which seemed to attract many fellow wordcels with minimal career prospects.
I'm also in New England but grew up in suburban Denver and I think it might well just be a matter of the houses and neighborhoods' having existed before anybody got the bright idea to make HOAs. It's hard to enforce an HOA on owners who already have their houses. It's a different thing altogether when you're expanding into unbuilt territory.
> So make cars pollute less

Physically impossible to have them pollute less than methods of mass transportation. Mathematically, even. Just divide the number of people carried per pollution caused by cars vs trains, bikes, or even buses. There's nothing you can do to make cars competitive.

> Figure out how to filter microplastics from our food and water

"Just figure it out", ok. But even then, an ounce of prevention is worth the pound of a cure.

> Figure out what's causing asthma in children

A little random but ok. I'm guessing grinding up rubber and metal particles into the air right next to where said children live isn't the best for their lungs.

> Not sure how obesity is related. Maybe improve the food supply?

1. Wake up

2. Walk 30 feet to your car

3. Sit as you drive to work

4. Spend 8 hours at your desk

5. Walk 30 feet to your car

6. Sleep

7. Why am I fat?! Maybe improve the food supply?!

> A lot of these are solved with electric cars which are increasingly more competitive.

Virtually none are, an electric car is still a car, see point 1.

> Why force people to regress towards a worse product rather than address these technical issues?

Highly dependent on your definition of worse; I'd argue the sort of streets and environments you can find in the Netherlands [1][2][3] are way better than in the US.

Not everything is a technical issue that can simply be solved by better engineering.

Not sure about clay I haven't heard anything about that. If it formed in large quantities at that time it should still be in sediments.

The ocean was acidic and anoxic and that was likely a cause of the extinction.

There definitely wasn't enough inorganic carbon released to fully account for the amount of warming that occurred (about 12°C). This was a big part of the book and highly technical (just the explanation of organic versus inorganic carbon was a chapter) so I'm afraid to try to summarize I think I'll get it wrong. But the author's theory was that methane was in the mix as well, released by cooking off carboniferous coal deposits.
You should have just accepted you don't have a good response and walked away. This is really unbecoming.
Systematically and systemically are two different words with different meanings, despite both being related to systems.

The comment you’re replying to is correct in its usage.

Something done systematically is typically done explicitly and intentionally. This may be what the author of the article was implying, but the comment was pointing out that miscounting of the population due to an inability to perform the task is not systematic by definition.

OKCupid went steeply downhill over several years and as far as I can tell is now worthless and untrustworthy in every way.
Oh wow I assumed he was anonymous. So his LinkedIn says he's done a lot of web development gigs. He's had a GitHub account for 15 years but hasn't shared any projects and there's lot of suspicious activity in previous years. His X account allegedly has 11k followers but his timeline gets almost no engagement.

Now are you ready for the smoking gun?

He told a nearly identical story on Hacker News back in July and managed to raise $765.

BYD made that statement in a product announcement to investors, and they seem to care about their reputation and not getting sued. It’s certainly possible that they’ll struggle to hit it but they started as a battery manufacturer (they were even a supplier for Tesla) and control the whole design including custom charging chips and battery cells so if there’s a company which is going to hit this milestone first it would look like them.

My employer requires alphanumeric passcodes. So you can’t do it single handedly.

It’s also pretty moot in a customs environment. If you use your phone, chances are there’s a camera angle on your pin entry, and they have tools to crack numeric passcodes.
It's still "right there" overall, you can take a local flight that takes one hour.

Most importantly, you're in the same country whereas in the case of LHR closing the number of airports able to handle widebody long haulers...are essentially all in countries with different customs and visas.

ClearCase is a version file system masquerading as project version control. It's heavyweight, clumsy, and brittle, and it's easy to get yourself in an inconsistent state.

At one enterprise in my past it could take months to merge for release, during which time the entire repository was locked for everyone. I suspect it was the 30 years of commit history. It took years to move to something more modern.

Perhaps not. But you could still imagine a for-profit matchmaking service that would do a better job of aligning its interests with those of its clients. For example, it could collect only a small fee upfront with an agreement that if you meet Mr. or Ms. Right you'll release a larger fee held in escrow.

I imagine that would need to be quite personalized and high touch, but it would be an appealing contrast to standard dating sites, which have interests diametrically opposed to those of their users: a user who makes a long-term match will stop paying the membership fee, so the site owner has no real incentive to help the user do anything but churn.
Nobody is worried about the threat of Small Cheese lol.
Pasteurization is about safety, full stop. Farm animals are literal breeding grounds for disease and plagues.
Ugh. Then there's the general stupidity of forcing people to use E-mail addresses as user IDs. It's not just annoying, but also a security blunder. The general public can't be counted on to understand that when they're forced to use their E-mail address as an ID, they don't have to use their E-mail account's password for it.

That makes every one of these sites a gatekeeper to the user's E-mail account. All it takes is one shitty security regime or one disgruntled employee to expose these credentials.

Then there's the fact that everyone's E-mail addresses are on thousands of spammers' lists. When you combine those lists with lists of common passwords and start probing accounts, you have... once again... boatloads of compromised ones.

It's sad to see a company like Apple fall into this dumb behavior and then try to patch it up after some high-profile "hacks." Originally, Apple IDs did not have to be E-mail addresses; when they implemented this dumb policy, they wound up with scads of customers with multiple Apple IDs and purchases scattered across them willy-nilly. And when people rightfully complained, Apple huffily declared that it would NOT consolidate them for anyone. Nice attitude: Create a problem and then refuse to provide a solution.

But back to the perpetrator here: OKCupid took this to a new level when they started insisting that you provide a phone number. I got into some loop where I couldn't log in and I couldn't log out, because they kept hounding me about the phone number that I couldn't access my account settings to provide. Or something stupid like that. And you know what, OKC? You don't need my phone number, so piss off.

It's too bad. OKCupid was the best of the dating sites during its heyday.
Linux does make this distinction.

Linux has two main disk I/O paths, buffered and direct I/O.

Direct I/O indicates "channel end" by the completion of the write operation. By that point, data has been transferred to disk from the buffer and the buffer can be reused. (Notably, direct I/O may be performed asynchronously via the Linux AIO API.) Contrary to popular belief, this does not indicate that the data is safely committed to disk. [1]

Buffered I/O does not require the concept of "channel end", since write calls complete immediately after the buffer contents have been copied into kernel space. (This mode is what PostgreSQL uses by default. I don't know MySQL.)

In either case, `fsync(2)` (or `fdatasync(2)`) is used to indicate "device end". The disk has indicated that data is safely stored. (This can likewise be monitored asynchronously, either via the AIO API for direct I/O, or `sync_file_range(2)` for buffered I/O. The latter is used by PostgreSQL [2].)

Aside – Linux has also recently grown support for this concept in its networking API, via zerocopy `send(2)` functionality in io_uring.

> Here are a couple of studies from 2012 and 2013, charting a way to 100% renewable energy for Germany by 2050

Yep. I know that one. It misses a crucial requirement: tons of coke and LSD needed to drug the lawmakers to let it pass.

The price tag for the _lowest_ estimate is around $1T. And it assumes that some miracles happen with power-to-gas and the transition to hydrogen.

For that price, Germany can just copy&paste enough AP1000 reactors and achieve CO2-neutrality with known technology.

> There are dozens of similar studies from academics and think tanks across the political spectrum.

And yet, Germany is planning to rely on fossil natgas until at least 2040-s.
