A well-designed product will sell better than a slightly-less-well-designed product


What kind of toll are you talking about?


I don't think they have ever lived in such a structure. They are probably talking about living in a two story light timber frame apartment from the 70s/80s. The walls are paper thin and you can wake up your neighbor walking in slippers to get a drink of water.

These mass timber buildings are SO much better.


Good enough for local development


If you can get away with the performance of machine that feels 10 years older than it is.


Why do you care about filesystem performance in containers? If you're running a DB from it, you surely have <10-20 concurrent users (e.g. other containers) to that DB, so who cares whether a lookup takes 1us or 10ms?


In local development you have builds and other things that watch files for changes.


OP is obviously ranting because they are frustrated and dejected. Have a little empathy.


Thanks for the understanding :)


lol


I call that "dating".

Just for fun -- make a Hinge profile and set your first picture to one of you in a white coat with a stethoscope around your neck.

Watch the likes pile up, and then come back and tell me that "no-one cares about status".


I never used Apps for that reason. I found more success increasing attraction face to face. When I started I "killed the sale" when I mentioned I owned a place , or they found out about my "high status" job. I went from "fun guy" to "serious guy" and it killed the vibe.


> my "high status" job

I'm mildly curious what qualifies as a high status job, here on HN.


Rust core team member.


Being the "fun" guy is cool up until about the age of 25, and even then you aren't really taken seriously in the dating world.

After that, a potential mate will take the stable, serious guy 9 times out of 10.


That's so true. I'm kinda boring, and happy as such, but dating when was in my early 20s was harder. Not impossible by any means, but it narrowed the group of women who were interested. But by the time I turned 30 it was a huge asset being boring, solidly employed, with a house, etc. I just had to wait for my time to come...


Sorry to hear that!


Everyone cares about status, consciously or subconsciously.


The ability to enter and exit "status limbo" is a sign of high status. Most people don't have the luxury of quitting their job to "explore something new".


One could obviously exit the limbo by just ending up lower status.

Imagine an actor or director who's very successful and high status. Then their subsequent work is less well received. They might have a period of "status limbo" while their cultural relevance and status are unclear. If they end up teaching improv in Chicago, they've arguably exited the limbo at a lower status than a star of Hollywood or Broadway.

Young people could also be in "status limbo" by for instance completing a prestigious degree but not yet securing a corresponding job. A 22 year old taking a year after graduating to study for the MCAT is in status limbo. If they score well and get accepted into a top med school - high status. If they don't get into med school, they're an unemployed 23 year old with a minimally useful BA.


Those examples are different because they are not voluntary entrances into status limbo. They are just examples of loss of status.


Exactly this. It is an exercise of privilege.
