Being stressed in first few weeks a normal response. Still happens to me after 20 years writing software, though not as bad. If you're just three weeks in with very little experience, you may well not be contributing much. That's OK.

Multiple months to be up to speed is not unusual. I was told same thing at one job, 6 months, because of complexity of the domain.

One thing that might help: talk to your manager and say "I'm feeling very stressed about not being able to get anything done, could I also get the occasional small task where I know I can do it and contribute?" If you can feel you're achieving something, and not just getting a firehose of info, you'll feel a little better.

Most of all, though, just stick it through. Being worried and nervous is normal, it's a side-effect of learning new things, and new job and environment makes it even worse.

Maybe, but the people who live in the low life are really struggling to survive. UBI can change that and given them an opportunity to arise.

Which is a good thing, does it?

Plus, give the future a little bit more time, when science and technology become advanced enough, maybe the problem can be resolved naturally?

I'm 20 years old, so i dont know if i'm within the gen Z range. I have a facebook and an instagram account. The problem is i think i don't know how this game works. I see some of my friends post mediocre photos or posts and get hundred of likes, others get a couple but they don't care. At first, my posts didn't get much traction and i was always shy to upload many photos. Nowadays, when i want to post something that i find interesting and talk about in the comments, i always think "what if no one cares?" "what if i don't get any likes". That has completely discouraged me for participating in the social media game and impacted my confidence. Now i only consume other peoples content. I see my friends talking about when to upload a photo so they can maximize their likes and i feel so out. It's like we have one more thing to compare one another. I'm not saying my friends value me for my likes, but i feel like it subconsciously creates a difference between us. Maybe i'm just very insecure or jealous but that social media thing just magnifies it.

I would imagine that such a system would be hard to cultivate. For many projects I'd say that two people would be a very bad fit together due to a clash of personalities, but on their own there's nothing troll-ish or toxic about either individuals. It would be hard to really quantify such problems with a project rating score and since so few people would be using the rating system (for many project), then it would be possible for a incorrect outlook on a project to be given based upon a single misunderstanding with one individual.

Either way, japan's population is not only ageing but declining at an exponential rate due to low childbirth - which has been directly attributed to the piss poor work life balance. The Japan as we know it today will not exist in a few decades. It will either be a far less populous country, or full of immigrants.

So I don't think we can take their 'not us vs them' attitude in the workplace as any kind of precursor for a successful or happy society.

This may be true on the surface, but India is an incredibly diverse mix of people. There are a ton (talking 60-70+) of groups of people with different cultures who speak different languages and often different religions. They make look the same to you; they are not the same. Go there and see it for yourself. It is incredible.

>everyone on HN comes out of the woodwork and explains how they barely use social media

It's funny how many people don't see the irony of it. Do people lurk on Facebook or reddit, waiting for the right moment to tell everyone they don't use social media anymore?
I agree with you, but it's pretty obvious to me, that most people generalize over media in a very broad fashion, and romanticize reading books, going to the theater etc, while talking down on video games/television in a purely dogmatic fashion, ie, the question of a medias inherent qualities is never considered.

Because I'd personally agree with most people that video games and television are relatively shitty, but that's not a function of the artform, but the artists, who themselves are a function of the culture they are embedded in. And additionally there is a lot of pulp or generic genre lit that's similarly devoid of meaning as most vidyas or tv series.
> One thing that's remarkable to me was how divorced I came from children as an adult.

My wife and I are in our early 30's and we're struggling with the thought of children because of this - they're utterly alien to us. I feel on an intellectual level that I think I'd like to have children and like to be a father, but with the exception of one friend (who because they have kids we've largely lost contact with), we don't really have any peers that have children, so we don't ever interact with them, and it's all terribly abstract to us.
That’s an excellent point. I may not renew with them, and it has nothing to do with FastMail themselves.

Keep in mind that one good thing about air pollution is it’s relatively straightforward to mitigate once you’re aware of the problem. PM2.5 filters can be had for relatively cheap (see Smart Air), and you can wear a mask when you’re out on bad days. Unless you’re really lucky, his peers in Bangkok probably won’t make him feel great about wearing a mask, but just having clean air at home will help a lot. Then maybe you can talk the school into filters, plus policies about athletics on bad days. I’d be surprised if they don’t have these already.

> I never said all public schools are hellholes

It's implied by "abolish the non-hellholes". Since the only thing anyone had suggested was abolishing private schools, this equates "non-hellhole" with "private" as though good public schools didn't exist. If that's not what you meant, you should have (and I believe would have) phrased that differently.

> Best-case scenario, the rich families do end up pouring more resources/motivation into improving their own local public schools

This is a problem only because (a) we live in a highly income-segregated society and (b) the majority of school funding is from local sources. Fix either of those, and the scenario you predict would not occur.
Google and Facebook want us on their website but we aren't their customers. The people paying their bills want our web experience mildly but tolerably bloated and tracked. You have a good point but Google and Facebook are the last people to use for proof.
fastest speeds depend on two things. First the manufacturing technology used (smaller is faster because parasitic capacitance is smaller, although finfet is getting to have large parasitic resistance). The 2nd factor is the datapath between flip flops. Some architectures handle very fast clock rates because the data path is simple (or pipelined). Others are quite slow. I've seen some architectures top out at 500MHz when another architecture is running over 1 GHZ in the same chip.
I'm 27 and never signed up for Facebook, something about it did not really appeal to me. Mainly because I hate taking / posting pictures and don't really care for posting status updates to friends. I also like to keep my real life social networks disconnected from each other. I like having "work friends" and "friends from school" and don't care for them to intersect.

Out of the social networks I've tried I liked Twitter the most. I did not post often but it was great to peek into the conversations of interesting people.

I think today's generation is open to social networks but maybe the photo posting / status update nature of today's networks just don't appeal. Maybe a more creative social network where more users are creating content than consuming it would appeal.

I saw this several times in my first post-college engineering job in America; it's not unique to Japan. I didn't notice the guy in the cubicle had left the company for about a week, and there were other people who "mysteriously" vanished. It's a company culture thing: this (small) company just didn't bother telling anyone what was going on with other employees.

At the big companies I've worked at, this would be unheard of: they always had nice going-away parties etc. They even had going-away parties when people transferred to another department.

Yes, you can do that: you aggregate the results from some arbitrary tests, using some arbitrary weights, and out comes an arbitrary number. The trick must be to give that number a catchy name, so that people think it's something highly meaningful, almost akin to mass, distance or time.
"MPs, Lords, and often their partners and children are all living and working in an extremely polluted environment for years on end."

I don't think it's common for MPs to bring their families to London for "years on end". Most MPs will have a flat they use when in London (probably in a nice building with HVAC, well away from the most polluted roads and neighbourhoods). But they will typically maintain their main residence in/near their home constituencies.

Likewise for the Lords. Most of them commute and don't spend all that much time in London.
Children watching too much television was a hot topic at the time. I remember reading about a "psychic" working for the government who made predictions for 2015. Curiously grounded in his contemporary time, he predicted a backlash against overuse of television.

I'm doubtful about your assertion that new schools will pop up. I actually doubt that they will, especially in poorer areas. So the kids whose parents are able will leave, taking their money. Thus solidifying the problem of funding to the schools.

And, as mentioned, transportation is a big issue for many as well. School busses are nice for those parents who have to work at 7, or earlier, and can't take their kids to school. Same going home. Unless, of course, you're going to start bussing kids to all the new schools that pop up, assuming any do.

Also, how do you deal with regulations and standards? If my tax money is going to a private school, it better follow a standard and not be teaching creationism, etc.

And I, too, would like to see your source on cost of education... You also assume that the private schools won't all be owned by the same company or that they won't agree to set prices the max available from the vouchers... Or higher.
If we break down a subset of human needs/characteristics in the following manner:
+ seeking approval and belonging to the tribe
+ comparison drive for fear of missing out
+ chemical rush associated with bullying behavior

These are a subset of behaviors and clearly abstracted (not the scientific or core components of behavior) but are used for example purposes.

In these cases, social media provides a platform for conducting these behaviors and elevates the individuals that push the behaviors to the noticeable extreme.

In fact, social media with all the likes, shares, followers, friends, is based on the principle that certain behaviors are celebrated and others ignored.

Adding to the fact that it's difficult for humans to develop self-awareness, maturity, empathy, as most adults are fairly lacking in these areas; therefore, social media will be filled with behaviors that are hateful, ignorant, bullying and more.

One potential solution to combat such behavior is having a suggestion box in the feeds that can tell when bullying behavior is happening and suggest to both the bully and the bullied, how to handle or develop empathy/self awareness.
The feature could be required reading, it could create a forced break in usage. This is more about educating than censoring, as it's difficult to censor, easier to educate. Especially with potential false positives.

Thoughts?

> I don't have the need to pull it from the pocket all the time.

I went to a national park with my GF to watch the recent Perseid. There was no phone signals there. Except for the map, I didn't need it so I didn't care. At multiple times though I reached for my phone to Google questions we were asking ourselves, on nature and space. I guess in a way it pushed us to think more about the subject instead of getting an instant answer, so in a ways it's good, but we never got any actual answers, we just forgot about theses questions though, which I don't feel is good...
What you're thinking of is the default handler (because if you wrote a handler, it would be your code returning things).

The default handler will populate the last element of the return list with the error, and return.

The other elements get zeroes, if not named, or they are unchanged from how they have already been set, if named.
Can you provide examples as to how? People just keep naming companies but no examples.
Coming to a full stop on a bike is downright dangerous. The act of unclipping from your pedal, stopping, and then starting again and having to clip back into your pedal is far more dangerous than just slowing down sufficiently to make sure there's no oncoming traffic. You're more likely to fall over when transitioning between moving and stopped on a bike than any other time, and falling over at an intersection is very dangerous.
I actually had a bunch of caveats like those in my original comment, but edited them out because I felt like they were unnecessary. Yes, MAOIs definitely shouldn't be taken in combination with foods or beverages or substances which are contraindicated for it, but that's mostly an issue for "non-selective" MAOIs, and is unlikely to affect someone who only takes a single MAOI dose once per year.

I just meant DMT isn't known to pose a particular risk when combined with a MAOI, unlike taking a MAOI with amphetamine or something. Obviously people should research what they should and shouldn't take with them.

My US driving test was a joke. I pulled out of a parking space, pulled up to a road, took a right turn, drive 100-200 feet to an intersection, took a right turn, then took another right turn into the same parking lot I had just left, then parked. That was my entire driving test.

7 Equity Crowdfunding Risks Feared by Many Investors
Small correction: Morrison was not Minister for Home Affairs, he was Minister for Immigration and Border Protection. Dutton was appointed Minister for Home Affairs upon establishment of DHA at the end of 2017. Before the establishment of DHA, which merged Immigration with other "national security" matters, responsibility for general law enforcement matters, including the telecommunications interception laws, the metadata retention scheme, and so on, lay with the Attorney-General's Department, not the Department of Immigration and Border Protection.

DHA is a portfolio that's more or less specifically designed to deliver policy like this and frame everything in terms of "national security". Even the DHA staff I personally know aren't fans of how the structure of the national security bureaucracy has changed over the last year.

My bigger problem here is lack of pushback from the Opposition. The "bipartisan consensus" on national security matters need not mean uncritical acceptance of badly-designed laws and inhumane policies.

You're assuming private schools wouldn't be around to solely make as much profit as possible. Plus, there's always the issue of higher pricing being associated with better results. And then the schools could even follow the path of universities and start charging more and more.
People are losing their jobs for saying the wrong things, donating to the wrong causes, or because they've offended the wrong people.

They aren't. At least, not any more than previously when they mostly also weren't.
It’s non-linear for most of those things though - a class of 20 kids or a class of 30 kids still need a teacher (although there’s evidence that the former’s going to have better outcomes), books aren’t bought new every year so are amortised over a whole load of students, lunches are cheaper when you can buy ingredients in bulk etc.

Private schools are usually more expensive because there’s a lower ratio of students to teachers. If all the rich kids left, you’d have schools being merged together to save money; you wouldn’t have the few(er) poor kids left behind with one teacher covering multiple classes.
