There's a growing recognition today of a social crisis in Korea where the working generation today is less willing to support the parents who sank every dollar into pushing their children into lucrative professional careers. It sounds terrible, but from the children's perspective, they experienced less choice about their future because they're just an investment vehicle for their parents. The exact compact you describe breeds generational resentment.

Don't they all have a match?

It would be nice if people could keep the match and have more control over their portfolios. Buy & sell stocks, bonds, commodities, etc. whenever instead of a very small basket of mutual funds that can only be juggled a few times a year.

You're ignoring the many cases meticulously documented from official sources by Schlosser and others where accidents and rogue orders only didn't set off a world-scale nuclear war because of lucky breaks (literally in some cases -- the hardware breaking) and disobedient underlings. There is really little debate about this amongst historians. The documents are there.

Run the experiment several times, and this luck inevitably runs out. Continue with nuclear weapons, and there just will be a nuclear war.
Here in Japan, I've never been to a place where you don't flush your toilet paper. In fact, they sometimes run into the opposite problem, with tourists not knowing you're supposed to flush the paper (https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2015/08/26/national/kyoto-...). Part of this might be because you're not supposed to flush sanitary napkins or anything but toilet paper, so there's often a bin next to the toilets for disposing of those, which I could see as confusing to someone who comes from a culture where you don't flush toilet paper.
For those interested in the accessibility side of news apps, I did a survey [1] of many popular news apps and their text accessibility features.

The general trend was that news outlets generally offer some text accessibility settings, and big tech company apps did not offer any text settings at all.

My conjecture is that the minimalist design trend in Silicon Valley cuts against having many user-configurable options, which unfortunately affects accessibility.

Actually the lower bound for sea level rise by 2100 predicted by IPCC (0.2 m) is about the same as the natural rate of rise that's been happening since the ice age. So, no, we're not sure climate change will cause significant sea level rise in the near future, although we are pretty sure it'll rise.

That's interesting, but doesn't algae need light to grow? The tanks are solid porcelain. Even our fish tank, if not near a window won't grow algae, move it near a window and 2 days later it's turning green.

Also, I looked in the tank, and it was spotless. I think any concerns of growth of anything in the tank are far outweighed by the water savings. I'd guess millions of gallons a year across Japan with just this one feature.
Below is from nih.gov [1]

- Adults age > 30 usually need 420mg of Mg however more than 350mg from supplements is discouraged

- Going little bit over for Mg seems ok because kidneys just exerts it to urine. However very high dosage like 5000mg would cause magnesium toxicity.

- Multivitamins like New Chapter Calcium tabs have 770mg Ca and 58mg Mg. This means these should be taken in morning.

- Nuts like Almonds and cashews have tremendous amount of Mg. Just 4-5 ounces of these nuts will make up for daily dose.

- Diets with higher amounts of magnesium are associated with a significantly lower risk of diabetes.

- Magnesium is involved in bone formation and influences the activities of osteoblasts and osteoclasts

- People who experience migraine headaches have lower levels of serum and tissue magnesium than those who do not.

Interesting. This sort of resentment is not showing up in India (yet). Perhaps a generation or 2 later it might since the N-2 today still has govt funded pensions and the N-1 generation again either has pensions or stocked up on wealth through the economic boom after the Indian economy opened up in the late 90's
Open source and cloud
posting this to see if someone else is also having similar feeling:
if cloud providers are selling the open source products, shouldn't the committers get paid as well? I agree that supporting the cloud product has some additional work, but isn't that based on the core product?
say, if there's no MySQL, how can RDS work?

I understand the existing open source licenses are not having any constraints on this, but shouldn't there be a new open source license to solve this problem?

the developers wrote the software, they can be used by other persons and companies so long that they are not re-selling the software product itself, especially in the cloud.
if they are sold in the cloud, the cloud providers should pay some money back to the developers.

In my personal opinion this could be more fair and may potentially be a better way of open source software development mode.
I often hear this theory that tether is just printing bills that are not backed by actual USD... Which I doubt is occurring... But even if it is and every single tether is counterfeit, the market cap of Tether is a mere $1.2 billion. To put that in perspective, Bitcoin's cap is $240 billion. Tether is not a major factor in Bitcoin's price. Sorry.

What really helps me is to keep my mind occupied when lying in bed at night. In my case, I try to solve P vs NP. That way, I actually enjoy the "sleepless" time, and am not stressed about not being able to sleep.

One of the imho very interesting aspects of insomnia is the "self-perpetuating" feature. Can't sleep -> stress about not being able to sleep -> even more difficult to fall asleep. I think this is a common feature of several ailments. Another is not being able to get an erection for men or not being able to orgasm for women ("it doesn't work!" -> stress / adrenaline -> it works even less).

Would be interesting to find out what common "pattern breakers" are for short-circuiting the vicious cycle. Does anyone have experiences?
It varies vastly by country. In France, the state calculates a percent of your income during the 4X years you were working and gives you that as a pension. The estimation can be pretty complicated, but that's fair enough for a one line explanation.

The system will collapse eventually. More and more elderly to support by less and less active workers. The younger population is suffering from vast unemployment (25%) and they will never achieve 40 years of continuous work in their lifetime.
Today, Social Security provides only enough for a bare-bones budget, about $14,000 a year on average.

Republicans: This is too much money, we can't afford it, it's take from the rich, give to the poor, these social programs need to end. Grandma deserves to die under a bridge by herself, it's her own fault she didn't work harder or save more.

Me: A bullet to the head of the aging is more ethical than the Republican prescription. Yes, absolutely take the money from the wealthy and keep grandma off the street. Jesus...
Yeah. A risk profile isn't just a percentage, it's also a question of what it's correlated with.

Ubiquitous music bothers me, too. I tend to work in coffeeshops just to get out of the house, and I'm not aware of a single one without music. I never enjoy the music. I just endure it, or I defend myself with louder music of my own choosing in my earbuds. It's definitely stealing some fraction of my mental power. I worry that it's an indication that many people find silence uncomfortable, that they get anxious without some kind of distraction. Sometimes I wonder if it's like the smoke beekeepers use with bees.

I am getting somewhere with this as well. My stomach doesn't like magnesium supplements so I rub a gel on my feet. It definitely does something (quite pleasant -- I almost get a slight high from it) and sometimes it knocks me right out but other times it seems to be counter productive. For me at least, there are more unknowns.
> cies said structs were ok, what's the difference in this regard?

Small, appropriately scoped structs are ok. Passing a big "god struct" around to functions that are only going to use a couple of fields is bad.

> 'Shared state' doesn't usually refer to explicitly passing a data structure into a function as an argument; it's operating on shared state only in the same way that any function which takes for example a string or a hash does.

Passing a mutable value into a function still counts, I think.

The case [1] is an interesting skim. Section 510 of ERISA says “[i]t shall be unlawful for any person to discharge ... or discriminate against a participant or beneficiary for ... the purpose of interfering with the attainment of any right to which such participant may become entitled under the plan (or ERISA)” (¶ 219).

Closing a plant to save money isn’t per se illegal (¶ 222). The employer just had to show they had a legitimate reason for closing the plant (¶ 223).

Instead, they kept talking about how the pension plan had nothing to do with the plant’s closure (¶ 226). That was not credible (¶ 263). (The plant’s employees had helped lobby for a new F-15 contract (¶ 15). There may have been political reasons the company couldn’t say “pension costs factored into our decision, though other reasons were prominent, too”.)

Since the “Defendant was in the best position to put forth the actual reasons for its decision, if in fact such reasons were legitimate” and it “repeatedly failed to do so, engaging in a pattern of discovery abuse and refusal to respond to proper inquiries by both Plaintiffs and the Court“ (¶ 257) the plaintiffs won (§ 4).

It is unclear how cleanly this unusual case generalises to the claim made in the original article.

When I was a student I felt like the time had come for some modern way of being woken up. I had a Philips CD-player and a Commodore 64. On the back of that CD-player was an RCA connector marked 'remote control'. I sent a letter to Philips with a request for information on that protocol and some kind soul sent me some pages of timing definitions and encodings. I made an adapter to go between the C64 user bus and that CD-player, wrote an alarm-clock program which could be told to 'play track X at time Y' and off I went...
Never spent a day working at the office. Been working for ~5 years, then switched to freelance\consulting. It is 100% true that remote positions really impact your networking, so you have to compensate by attending conferences as much as possible. However, it also makes you a lot more independent which forces you to look for other opportunities such as independent consulting and possibly creating your own business, which, in my opinion, is a good thing.

So yeah, remote work definitely harms your career growth in terms of an employee, but also enables you to discover other opportunities, which improves your personality.

I find that when you're talking about technical things on the internet, it's best to assume the other person knows common knowledge and only doesn't know the idea you're trying to express. It's almost impossible that the GP didn't know V=A*h so pointing it out is more of an insult than anything useful.
I had (have) a similar problem. For me it was a few things:

1. I did not recognize I was stressed, but I was - a lot. One day I bought a smartwatch that tracks stress levels (Garmin Vivosmart) and saw how high it was: 80-90/100 most days. That opened my eyes. You can be stressed and not know it.

2. I manage anxiety. First step was observing when it is there, what exactly it feels like. For me, it often manifests as jaw pain, body aches, tinnitus, tunnel vision, "narrow" thinking etc.. Then strategies to lower anxiety - quit smoking, meditation, more than anything building awareness of what it feels like for you so you can manage it - meditation helped with that.

3. Crystal clear goals, detailed goal-setting, and an acceptance of/commitment to slow and steady progress. Compulsions to read "interesting" stuff came from either a desire to escape the present moment, or idea that I was not reading/learning enough - which was a vague, unreachable goal that feels forever out of reach given the infinite amount of content on the web.

4. Feeds are designed to be addictive - stop it. Just don't do it for a few days and see how much clearer your mind is. And you will probably realize you don't "learn" anything from that kind of unstructured dopamine-seeking - it is more like watching TV all day than learning.

Basically i had forgotten what relaxation feels like, to the point where anxiety-driven thinking felt completely normal. It is not. Find ways to reduce anxiety even if you don't think you are anxious and stick with them - nagging thoughts, random pains, tunnel vision kind of thinking are all signs of anxiety. I'm still working on it, but this was a huge revelation to me - the idea that when you are anxious for long enough, you literally forget what calm feels like. Well actually the idea itself doesn't do much for me, but experiencing it.. that changes things.

> you are subjected to browser width text

Some of us consider it a feature that a website allows the reader to freely resize the browser window (and the text with-in) to the width they consider comfortable.
It's the most commonly used programming language, according to the TIOBE index, and its main markets, Android and servers, are still very much growing with no real programming language competitor threatening the dominant position of Java.

And even if people would suddenly stop writing new software in it, there's so many systems by now that are written in Java and need to be maintained that you'd still be able to use that Java knowledge for at least ten years.

The main selling point of Java is that it's easy to write software in it, so that means little developer time for relatively featureful and bugfree software. There's also a lot of tooling around Java.

It does not fare well in performance or resource usage, and is mainly geared towards writing big software projects.

Personally, I'd say it's definitely something you want to have in your repertoire at some point, unless you already have concrete plans on specializing into a direction where you know that it's not useful.
> More and more elderly to support

> The younger population is suffering from vast unemployment

It appears there is a lot of work to be done and a lot of idle workers to do it. The fact that both can exist in tandem seems like an indictment of how horribly inefficient our economic systems currently are.
Good if it works for you but i found over the years, countless theories about all kind of stuff.

If you do this, it gets better because your body needs that. Your On/Off theory sounds nice and is easy to implement and works for you. But i think that will only work for you.

We had that when I was working in a top investment bank, in the UK office.

plus the link to access the parent's parent content and so on... by reproducing the whole tree structure backwards

Finally consider that getPath is not doing a lookup by id but it is really directly accessing the parent node content and up to the root, immediately.

What you can't do this way is that you can't go through the other children of the parent (and all the rest of the tree structure that is not straight up in the hierarchy), but that's another story: it would need another use case to be introduced and discussed - in the first place
