> Although some of the variance in those outcomes are due to lower average socioeconomic status rather than familial expectations.

I’m not sure if it is lower socioeconomic status, or just inability to coach. It is hard to give advice about how to get into grad school or how to interview for an engineering job or even how to study engineering undergraduate classes if your experience is, say, being foreman of a framing crew. No disrespect, the trades are important and undervalued, but the experience-based advice you have to offer is in a different realm.

I believe RB-trees are preferred e.g. in the linux kernel because of pointer stability.
Of the three DB products mentioned in the tweet, only one is a non-traditional database: DynamoDB.
Both Redshift and Aurora are traditional RDBMs, which are forked from very old codebases.
Redshift is a fork of Postgres 8.0 that was adapted for OLAP use-cases, while Aurora is a fork of MySQL (or PostgreSQL in the PostgreSQL-compatible versions) that runs on a custom storage engine.

The main reason technically-capable companies like Amazon or Netflix are moving away Oracle has nothing to do with horizontal scaling. It's the licensing costs.
Oracle is just too expensive for them, and even if you are not Amazon yourself, RDS (or any other Cloud RDBMS) would be much cheaper for you.
Nicotine is a poison. It’s the active agent in deadly nightshade. In horticultural circles it’s used in raw form as a highly effective pesticide. It’s highly concentrated in tomatoes vines and potato plants, and if you eat these, or even the edible parts when they’re green you’ll be sick!

That’s not to say it’s the most toxic aspect of tobacco, but it can’t be good.

I agree that thinking about ideas like that is important, but I have to point out that it's not like the entire planet was conquered by a single culture, only large parts of it were conquered by the European powers. Civilizations were founded in many different places, and the rare existing cultures who eschewed trade and weren't conquered haven't developed in a long time. There is actually a question as to whether they live a generally more fulfilling life than we do, but that wouldn't be because they developed a better way, instead it's that they didn't develop at all.

When I lived in Russia, I knew one promising youngster who unfortunately chose to "come to the dark side." He himself was a hardcore marxist, but nevertheless went on to develop himself as "political technologist," offering his services to anybody ready to dish out a sum.

A few developers stand on the shoulders of giants and try to see the future so they can shove the state of the art forward a little bit.

Some developers stand in the footprints of giants and complain about the view.

Many developers stand in the footprints of giants, don't realize they're standing in footprints, and will argue very loudly that the particular muddy footprint they're stuck in is amazing, and you're an idiot if you disagree.

I'm kind of in the same boat. I assumed that I would be able to participate in normal friendships without social media (the way people did for generations before me). Instead, I think people just assume I'm ignoring them on facebook because I'm anti-social.

I've learned to be more proactive in maintaining relationships, but it often feels very one-sided since many other people are used to just getting passive status updates and feeling 'connected' to their friends.

To put this in perspective, Light Table raised $316,720 on Kickstarter. Google gets that much money every 75 seconds. You can't really compare Google's decisions to those of a single person working on an experimental project with a tiny budget.
To get more pedantic technically doing things in parallel is easy - coordinating them is a pain with overhead - especially if you want them to keep their speed. I know back decades ago even cars went with plenty of microcontrollers to do what technically could be controlled by one since it was easier and better to be independent apparently - and auto companies are all about shaving nickels of expenses for profits.

This, btw, is the standard perspective on medication in the psychiatric community. It's uncommonly the answer in itself, but it puts the person neuropsychiatric state in a mode that is amenable to improvement.

The data tend to support that medication + therapy is significantly better than either alone for mood disorders, which is what gives rise to that conclusion. Spend a week on an inpatient ward with really sick people that were failing on outpatient therapy and meds, and see how quickly they improve in therapy once their meds are appropriately modified. Or look at folks with something like bipolar disorder, where only medication (and only a subset of that) has been shown to decrease the (upsettingly high) rate of completed suicide.

The OP video's assertion that medication is useless is baffling to me; I can only assume that they spent their career with reasonably functional personality/mood disorders in a primarily outpatient setting. Which is another way of saying, if you only ever see the common cold, of course you'd think IV antibiotics are useless overkill.
Use a css preprocessor, and define variables with the technical names but classes that end up in html should have descriptive names. Something like this:

$accent_1_700: #e60000;
$accent_2_900: #ff9999;

@mixin button_border($color) {
border: 1px solid $color;
}

.alert-button {
background-color: $accent_2_900;
@include button_border($accent_1_700);
}

This makes your color palette defined explicitly and easy to change in one place, and makes which color on the palette you're using in a given context defined explicitly as well.
Or maybe they didn't implement that "feature" properly. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
A lot of the advice here is "find a hobby". But if it were that simple youd have one already.

My advice is to be bored. Get rid of all distractions (facebook, tv) and go to a quiet room or on a long walk. Be alone with your thoughts. Slowly forget about work and daily concerns. Where does your mind go when it has nothing else in the way?

Hopefully that gives you a clue where to look for hobbies you enjoy. But you also have to make the effort and try different things out. Start researching and go to events. Youre not gonna like all of it and thats ok. And its not always comfortable.

Definitely start up a conversation with the people you meet along the way. Friends are important. Theres more to it than i can fit in this post.

If that doesnt work, try thinking back to when you were a kid. What were you interested in before you put your life on hold for school and work?

I hope this helps yoi in some way. All i know is it worked for me. No reason to feel ashamed. Many people have this problem.
Last time I stayed in an Airbnb rental, I discovered an Amazon Echo device in the room. I immediately unplugged it and then wondered whether the landlord has violated my privacy as a tenant. The consensus on a couple of forums I found discussing it was that the Echo doesn't record anything unless explicitly activated by the user, and so it's not anything like a wiretap. Some landlords were pretty condescending and dismissive of any claims to the contrary. I felt differently. I can't audit the device hardware/firmware/software to verify that it isn't tracking and recording information about me that I don't consent to be tracked or recorded when I'm in my rental unit.
Thanks for the links, I skimmed the articles, they are very interesting and I will certainly read them later. They are not what I'm looking for, however.

What I'm looking for are empiric, preferably cross-cultural, studies on color harmony. I'm interested in work similar to what has been done for Unique Hues and Focal Colors but for combinations of two or more colors and for the notion whether people find these combinations pleasing, neutral or displeasing. I wouldn't be surprised too much if we couldn't find universal pleasing combinations but I'm surprised that apparently no one has done these type of studies.
I'm the opposite. Chargers have a usable life after which they stop working, and I'd rather not lose the free charger that comes with a new device I buy just so I can have the privilege of paying $$ for a new one in case my older one breaks. Also if you are selling your computer or giving it to someone else, are you expecting them to buy a new charger with it?

I literally only have Coca-Cola for an occasional treat these days - My Beloved Irn-Bru, 7up & San Pellegrino have all been adulterated with awful-tasting artificial sweeteners and are simply unenjoyable for me now.

It's a weird future I find myself in, where I will never drink any of these things again, punished because of some third party entity's paternalism where other third parties are concerned (I'm not personally fat nor enjoy a diet that would ever make me so).
The dedicated Scrum Masters I think already started to be diminishing, in my last two jobs usually one of the engineers (not too senior or junior but should be able to communicate well) is asked to take that role along with his usual 8 story point a week coding responsibility.

But unfortunately in this case above scripted behaviour is being shown by middle management (Engineering manager with not much coding background ). This is because they are mostly under fire if there is a "Spill Over" . The engineer playing scrum master role can easily get away with it because the probably did their part in the coding front and just threaten to step down from the role. But managers don't add much to anything else in the delivery process, so they are forced to be accountable for everything. (C'mmon we all know appraisals are also pretty much scripted) .

Using billing to measure the size or space of something is the worst kind of measure. For example, I recently got on a Grey Hound with my bicycle, packaged in a box. My ticket was $27, but the bike cost $30, even though I weight 3 to 4 times what my bike does. Humans also need thousands of liters of space, while the bicycle box only took up 200 liter or so. And the time the bus driver took to load the bicycle is negligible.

> What about our response was lacking to you?

Several observations recorded in the Project Zero report about CF's response were problematic:

"I had a call with cloudflare, and explained that I was baffled why they were not sharing their notification with me."

"They gave several excuses that didn't make sense, then asked to speak to me on the phone to explain. They assured me it was on the way and they just needed my PGP key. I provided it to them, then heard no further response."

"I can already see that the (huge) list does not contain many pages that still have cached content from before the bug was fixed."

"Cloudflare did finally send me a draft. It contains an excellent postmortem, but severely downplays the risk to customers."

Granted, I have not been keeping up with what has changed at CF since then so maybe things are better. But the decisions taken wrt Workers doesn't inspire a lot of confidence.

>What are those next two major Android releases include that I need?

These are future releases, so not sure. Android 9 'Pie' should be available soon and the features included in that can be researched with your preferred search engine.

You can install a third party ROM if you'd like. LineageOS doesn't come with Google Play Services.

>Comparing any Android device to iOS is hard because the the former is a data collection device with some features reminder of a mobile phone while the latter is a mobile phone primary designed and build for the best UX.

Use what you like. I personally find iOS to be terrible with ergonomics, UX, and just plain everyday features. You can't open zip/rar files, can't download MP3's, can't play m4a's, can't play .webm's, there's no file management system.

Another Effexor success story here. After spending most of my life suffering through mood changes for no reason (e.g., sometimes I got sad after seeing a color, or the way that something was arranged -- I've called this "emotional synesthesia"), Effexor has made me a normal person again. I've been taking the lowest dose for 7 years now, with no side effects besides dulling of emotions (interestingly, it makes decision making hard -- for me, it now requires me to write a pro/con list when facing a decision because there are few emotions involved, even when buying something that should be slightly exciting, like a new car). As someone who had a great childhood and no major traumas, it makes me wonder if I'm one of the people who have a legitimate "chemical imbalance".

as a mobile dev, I have been considering this with some UX folks. Few things going for AI/ML - conversation interfaces should be far cheaper/quicker to produce in comparison to traditional app development. Furthermore, talking and touch are natural ways to interact (e.g. pointing on a map whilst talking) vs endless long presses and menu items.

Whilst I have been involved in Android since the beginning I personally would not encourage younger folks to focus too much at the expense of new technologies (inc. blockchain tech for that matter).

That said, we hopefully have another 10 years!

"affected" - this is as offensive/stupid as saying 9/11 only "affected" 0.001% of the US population. no wonder gun violence in the US will never be addressed as it only "affects" 0.01% people each year.

RocksDB is an awesome building block for building your own database. Now usually you don't need that. But if you have a ton of traffic, moving 1 abstraction level lower gives you a lot of room for optimization.

Mixpanel, DataDog, Linkedin and Pinterest also created their own DB tech. Linkedin and Pinterest use RocksDB. Instagram lately started doing something similar by using RocksDB as the storage layer for their Cassandra cluster.
Illegal to manufacture just means the people who can legally possess it will have to deal with and buy it from people illegally manufacturing it under poor conditions with zero regulatory accountability.
