We can take this both ways: up until the 60s or so the West also viewed more people as a forte. It's just that it started from a lower base, the US started from 100 million people when China was at 300+ million...

I have had life experiences recently (great, great loss) that make me realise and see (quite clearly) that there is no 'point' to things either. Things just are, reality just is (you can do nothing about it, you can only accept it or try to fight against it), and 'purpose' is just meaning we choose to make of it - bullshit stories of our own self-delusion - whether knowingly or not.

It's thrown me into depression (as I'm not used to not being goal-based) and I'm kind of in a big existential limbo right now.

At this point, I'm realising that if there is no purpose in anything, don't live with purpose. Instead, focus on process, and action. Simply accept what is (observe reality), instead of imagining or striving for what isn't, and to me it seems a more logical and successful life, all previous things said.

Be more connected to reality. Simply, existentially focus on that. Reality is different to 'truth', in a way. Reality doesn't involve much thought, or actually any at all.

It's a mindfuck because I just gave a purpose or reason for living this way - but I've articulated the mechanism: don't live with purpose, just live with process. Just do, and yeah read some Eckhart Tolle. And Byron Katie.

And here's a thought: There's no point to anything, so you may as well feel love.
Curious if this is the case on iPads too (can't see any reason why it wouldn't). I have a lot of iPad 2's at work, and they definitely get slower with age. OS upgrades are a bit problem; after iOS 6 (I think) performance decreased very noticeably (and I have the luxury of being able to compare side by side with other units). But recently the unit I've been using with ios6 has started to slow considerably. I figured that it's an ageing flash memory issue, but this is another contender.

>Their peers are expected to live like adults.

Interesting perspective, considering many of them today still live like children (living with one's parents is the polar opposite of living like an adult). As such, the age of majority in developed countries today is (functionally) nearly 25; I expect the law to catch up within a generation.

Of course, this is all due to economic circumstances- this isn't 1970, so you can't just walk into a factory and get a job like you could then.
And _that's_ the real reason for this conversation- the economy has contracted so much in its demand for manpower that being on social media doing something stupid is now a big deal (and even worse, that it's able to discriminate enough that university attendance is now mandatory to get jobs that should only require a high school education).

It's a genuinely hard problem. There are proposals for Rust, but nothing actionable. Catching up with all the other cool things takes precedence. (side-note: Rust dodged the problem by using macros. As a C++ guy, I was a little uneasy with this, but they're _mostly_ hygenic)
As Larry Ellison and other godfathers of the start of the IT industry once said (paraphrasing), "It's impossible to find someone who has the necessary skills and 10 years in the industry.

Would be curious to see Pony added to the mix. It has the best of both worlds for my tastes, from Go: statically typed and native code, and Erlang: actor model, GCd at the actor level. Plus more features that neither has like capabilities.

1) New models will obviously have more range than ones 4 years ago... My point was the Tesla Semi should be treated as incremental rather than revolutionary, just like releasing a new smartphone model with more RAM than one 4 years ago. Also the Tesla Semi hasn't even launched yet so they can easily overpromise making comparisons with any existing offerings difficult.

2) As with Ford for ICE vehicles, affordable EVs selling higher volumes are much more important to than the premium EVs offered by Tesla in terms bringing the tech mainstream. In this way, BYD and Nissan should be credited much more than Tesla. In terms of contribution, I would put BYD much higher than Tesla: BYD manufacturers their own batteries, sell more vehicles, drive industry competition in the much more relevant CN market, and their success influnced the Chinese government to phase out ICE cars.

3) My post was specifically replying the the person above who was worshipping Musk on a pedestal and giving all the credit to Tesla.

Wouldn't it be relatively trivial to create a set of data and code, plus a deployment script to spin up some DBs on a cloud service and compare the results? If you're doing it in house without publishing the results so that you can determine the best db for your needs, would it run foul of the TOC? Would the vendors even know you're doing it?
The biggest selling point is the Chinese market itself. It is the biggest/second biggest in the world. Money does speak.

Again with the "we". You had no part in that I assume, nor did I, nor did most/all of the people here. It makes our language and our causes weaker to say that "we" "had" a policy that none present actually had.

I don't find OP's premise believable.

Corporations do not support free speech as they have shown time and again. A student opposed to it is unlikely to see any employment-related consequences from such stance.

Quite the opposite. Unlike vandalizing McDondald's, that editorial[1] shows the student is willing to abridge his own freedom in favour of diversity, which is probably the most popular corporate value, and conformity, which may be omitted from official documents but remains in demand.

Will Speech Syntax Markup Language (SSML) Become the New HTML?
Was playing around with Amazon Echo and was struck by Amazon's documentation for Speech Synthesis Markup Language.

Ha! That’s good.
Because almost nobody who buys an Oracle license do so with the intention to run and publish these benchmarks. In other words, the EULA doesn’t affect how the vast majority of Oracle’s customers intend to use the software, and so they don’t feel it impacts them. Of course it actually does, because they might not have chosen Oracle, if they’d had access to accurate benchmarks when they made the buying decision, and maybe the fact that the EULA prevented such benchmarks from being published should have been a red flag. And maybe it would have been if Oracle was alone in this practice, but as the article states, it’s close to the standard practice in the industry.
Yep I've had this issue too. Not sure who to blame for that though, Tinder is notoriously buggy.

I gave up on Nike because the quality of their shoes have plummeted with cheaper materials and inflated prices.
Wow. Reading this, having spent some years doing retail tech, I feel that Nike’s shift in strategy is as game changing for retail as $10K bitcoins will be seen for the finance world.

This is seismic change in strategy.
Infinitely worse? That's a bit hyperbolic.

> crappy "back cover"

Who said anything about crappy? High quality is achievable.

> If you do that, you've made a fragile piece of crap with no water resistance

As opposed to a fragile piece of crap with (some) water resistance? I'm not an expert on water resistance but I'm guessing something can be both resealable and water resistant.

> much less durability

Providing a back cover that would pop off if you drop the phone probably improves durability, due to the ability for energy to escape.

> Space which is in very short supply.

Why is it in short supply, other than because Apple tells you that you need a thinner phone?

Why use dumps at all? Here in Germany dumps are not allowed anymore, instead everything that can not be recycled is being burned; the energy is converted into electricity.

Yes, burning the trash releases CO2 into the atmosphere, but prevents release of the much worse Methane and also protects the ground water.

Maybe because I am from different culture, I don't see a big deal about that living arrangement. If it is cheaper and you don't have much money, it is more mature financially reasonable arrangement then paying more just to prove yourself adulthood. And if you live away from parents, bit they helped you with paying or getting college debt, then you are less independent then you think.

On the other extreme,I have read older geberation brags about how their adult children could not wait to leave and are independent enough to never call. I don't see that as achievement. If you was such a dick to your offspring that they disliked you so much, then you are just that.

In any case, cops nor judges treat these people as children. Nor should they, adulthood means we consider you old enough to co trolling your actions and be responsible for then. Living arrangement has little to do with it.

People are too eager to use their own consumer choices as adulthood marks. Adulthood is about making choices now, not back then. And is independent of whether you use public transport or car.
I have lots of devices for testing apps/games and four 5/5s generation iPhones/iPods. All of them did the same lithuim-ion/swelling with the battery within 2-3 months where the screen pops out and you can see inside on the edges.

This is heavily common and prevalent with that generation I found out. iPhones/iPods both had it happen.

It was a little bit twilight zone like before I looked into how common it is, bought them at different times.

If you aren't constantly using a device turn it off because LiB batteries they use only last about 2 years / 400 charges and overcharging ends up swelling.
Standardizing the shape is probably key to efficient reuse.

> The requirement for consumers having accurate information is a government regulation.

But there are many areas where self regulation works better than government regulation. Print media is a prime example. If one newspaper accepts a bribe for promoting a product, the bribe could come to light and destroy the trust the newspaper has (an intangible asset).

To get back to the topic of databases: This is bad press for Oracle. Are they hiding some edge cases where the performance is unacceptable ? Mission critical systems should rather be built on open source databases, which have been properly scrutinized.

What a stupid article. Why should being a college student bring special privileges to make dumb mistakes and escape consequences? What about other young people? If it's important for college students to be able to make dumb mistakes then why shouldn't the same apply to young factory workers or bus drivers or soldiers?

It's articles like this by authors who have never worked a real job that make regular Americans think that academics are out of touch with the real world.

I've worked with both a distributed repo model and a monorepo model and vastly prefer the distributed approach (given the right tooling). The trade-offs are complementary and no doubt with proper discipline you can try to maximize the benefits, while minimizing the downside. But here's what I don't like about working in a large monorepo:

1) Difficult to track changes to the code I'm interested in. Every day there are hundreds of changes in the repo and almost all of them have nothing to do with what I'm working on.

2) all sorts of operations take longer (pulling, grepping source, etc.) to support code I couldn't care less about.

3) Frequently have to update the world at once. Unless the repo can store multiple versions of the same module, then all the consumers have to be updated at once, even if it's inconvenient. Sometimes migrations are better done gradually.

4) Encourages sloppy dependency management. There are frequently unclear boundaries between software layers.

I'm sure people will say "if you're having those problems, you're doing it wrong" but the same thing could be said to people who find the distributed model problematic.

I got to try an Impossible burger when they had a giveaway event in SF last week and I'd mostly echo tootie's comments about his Beyond burger. It's good, both tastier and more realistic than any other veggie burger I've tried, but the texture is still a tiny bit off. Better than most fast food for sure, I'd say it tasted the most similar to an In n Out burger patty of all the burgers I could compare it to.

If you have a discerning palette, you'll probably notice the differences more than I did, but if someone were to hand me one of these after I'd had a couple beers at some concert/festival/sporting event, I probably wouldn't notice that it wasn't actually meat.

Basically the author is arguing is that college students should be treated as children and therefore not responsible (and therefore accountable) for their actions because too young to know better.

Where we place the line between adults and children can be debated (are 18yo really mature enough to be treated as adults?). But one can't get "being taken seriously" and "having the protection offered to children for not knowing better" at the same time.

I personally think that you can't really consider them adults before age 22. And for that reason we should stop taking student protests seriously.
If you have enough load to make database performance an important issue then it's easy enough to benchmark SQL Server and Oracle (or any other database). Just purchase a regular license and run a performance test on your own application. Those vendor license restrictions on publishing benchmarks are annoying but realistically the minor performance differences on typical workloads don't matter to most customers and the customers who actually care have the technical sophistication to figure it out for themselves.
How I built Dependabot into a profitable side-project
Maybe the author could have put something like this in the article:

"Technology is a lead actor in this drama, but of course, privilege and power influence how the narrative plays out. Some people are given more learning opportunities than others. I might have been a longhair with spray paint when I got arrested, but the arresting officers also marked me as a white University of Michigan student. Had I been someone else, I might have learned a different lesson.

But our response to inequality shouldn’t be to strip the privilege of learning from the lucky few who can already enjoy it. We must expand this universal right to develop and grow."
I'd actually be comfortable claiming that everyone's slow iPhones are actually faulty. Because mine (5S) was really slow and not even a clean reinstall would help, and I went to the support service for my carrier and they sent it for service and after a few days sent back a new iPhone because the old one was broken. The new one was much faster even thought it was the same model, and had the same OS version. So, people, get it checked out, it might be faulty, for example the NAND flash memory might wear out or the base firmware might've been corrupted, or hey, the battery might be bad...
I don't want children. I imagine I'm not the only one. Get a dog or a cat or a goldfish or a cactus instead.
Well yes, if you assume that gods are real and reveal themselves to the world they created. Then you go down he dreary path of prime motivators etc. That’s no fun.

If on the other hand you start with the premise that there is a magical world created somehow then lesser gods can exist and cease to exist for all manner of reasons. We can apply it to the real world in the context of cultural memes. J.K. Rowling didn’t cause Voldemort to pop into existence, the fans of the books and those who got hysterical over depictions of witchcraft did.
