> Here in Spain, everyone born in the same year goes to the same class, is it different in USA?

So Spain has a cut date of 1 Jan while the USA is 1 Sept. The overall effect is exactly the same: When a school term begins, some of the students will be nearly 1 year older than some of the others.
Sounds like the exact narrative from my time at Atlassian; I often wonder if these types of ideas are a natural byproduct of companies working in the same space.

You laugh, but depending on the actual Cobol support (e.g. whether it also supports a decent amount of CICS) it could make it easy to port a bunch of functions that are locked away on zOS.
Does your child have enough outlets to burn off his excess energy? It seems to me that kids really evolved to be outside running around with friends and siblings extensively.

I would bet if he was getting his heart rate up for 3-5 hrs a day he would be way way calmer the rest of the time.

It seems to me that the real problem is that we have constructed a world that is fundamentally at odds with our biology and then when people cannot function within it, we diagnose them as having a disorder.

Gosh, you really incite us to make antisemitic comments, here.
I didn't read this as "ripping on guys" in any way. It seemed more focused on the perspective of women, and the shifting marketplace of relationships as people start looking to form a family. I don't think this was portraying or referencing attractive men in any negative light, and I'm curious as to why you interpreted the above comment on this way.
Imagine you rented a shared, five-bedroom house, with 4 other roommates.

Each of you pays 20% of the rent, and utilities. These are your only expenses.

Now, imagine that I move into your house, demand that you knock down a wall, build a fifth bedroom, and a second bathroom. Construction will cost $100,000, and I will generously chip in my 16% of it.

Do you see a problem, here?

The only fair way to handle this, is to make me pay the full cost of construction. New construction must pay for 100% of the new infrastructure necessary to support it.
Inflation, people wanting larger homes than they used to, and simple population growth are obvious factors.

Another major factor is that zoning laws make it more difficult to build new housing in most cities than it used to be.

Zoning restrictions are combining in a bad way with another major economic trend: the increasing centralization of good jobs in large coastal cities. Those cities are experiencing high population growth and the housing supply is not growing enough to meet the new demand.

There's so much negativity in this thread towards ADHD meds. I want to chime in with my own experience, when I was in elementary school, there were suspicions that I had AD(H)D, and I got tested, but apparently "I was the quietest and most compliant kid they had ever had". Didn't get a diagnosis.

~15 years later, and I have serious trouble with executive function, I am insanely easily distracted, I have trouble with emotional regulation, I was physically incapable of focusing on something that I did not enjoy for more than 10 minutes, ever. I have no idea how I got through college, heck, I almost didn't. In addition to all this, I was hyper, impulsive, and completely incapable of ever taking a second off, I couldn't relax, at all.

At some point, I saw ADHD somewhere, and I decided to take a more serious second look at it, "what actually is this thing?", and it resonated with me to the core. So after that, I pretty quickly got myself a diagnosis, and not much later I got a ritalin prescription.

I have barely any significant side-effects, I'm calmer, I can focus, I can talk to people without losing my train of thought during the conversation, I can relax better, I can take time to prepare my days and weeks; clean my room, make and follow todo-lists, continue work on a single project for more than a week, I could finally read books without going like "oh huh?!" to every single sound around me 10x a minute, etcetcetcetcetcetc...

My life is pretty terrible still for all kinds of reasons, but no, ritalin doesn't make me feel lethargic -- especially not if I take a slightly lower dose than I'm prescribed -- nobody forced this onto me, I'm not doing this for "compliance" or whatever, I'm not abusing this to be more productive or whatever weird Silicon Valley stereotypes there are about ADHD meds.

Ritalin helps me maintain a relatively stable foundation for my disturbingly disorganized life. It's not magic, and there are real downsides to it, but it really, really helps me very, very effectively.

> American parents could learn a thing or two about parenting from previous generations and from a lot of immigrant families.

My parents and most of their peers got married right out of high school just to get out of the houses their 1st generation Catholic parents filled to the brim with like, seven or eight semi-neglected kids.

A lot of them didn't make it out of those environments unscathed, and there's no guarantee they learned how to save money or hunker down for the long haul with a partner because of it.

It's easy to look back on those times with rose-colored glasses, especially if you weren't there.
>As a coder

Obviously the website is no longer targeted at coders: the Rust Team seems to target managers to push adoption. To me, it looks like a corporation that has to report user growth every quarter, so they start employing harmful UX to desperately try to push the numbers up.

Haha, that's a fantastic point! And in order to get anywhere closer to making such differentiations, surface EEG S (used for the results into his article) would surely not suffice. The technology and results we are collecting currently are just scratching the surface, though I'd suspect if a BCI was capable of detecting intent of such complexity as the situation you described, it would also probably have the capacity to know whether it was something you planned to act on or not.
It's a rational practice when your language allows casting pointers to integers. Since the size of the pointer itself will vary based on the underlying architecture, you need an integer type which will also vary based on the underlying architecture.
Why don't you quote him? I'll go ahead and summarize it for others: Jordan Peterson, among other things, thinks that we are using drugs to alter the brain structure of little children because they can't sit still for 6 hours a day. He thinks it's harmful and we over-diagnose ADHD in children who act naturally.
> option of dating men who followed the same path as them

No they don’t. A 35 year old man can date a 25 year old woman whereas the reverse is a lot less common.

As such the 35 year old man has a lot more options than a 35 year old woman.

> as well as the option of dating divorced men.

Divorced men tend to have very different life goals and expectations than early 30s women.
Start skimming through the included documentation files. You don't have to do a thorough read, but the Documentation folder is structured in a way mirroring the organization of the kernel. They will help you to understand the structure, and you can get deeper understanding of the essential parts that way.

Once you have mental map of major areas of the kernel it will be easier to relate to the sourcetree.

There used to be a number of great books on fairly esoteric issues of the kernel (like, comprehensive explanations of network stack). However most of them seem to be stuck at 2.6 and are no longer very up to date.
What's missing is meaning in life. It provides a sense of purpose, a system of values, and goals to strive for. If it's not family, then I recommend volunteering somewhere. Helping others is incredibly fulfilling and usually works for just about everyone who is in this position.

Also, there are billions of people with far worse lives than you can imagine. Humans just like you and me that live in misery and will never experience a fraction of the freedom that you enjoy. That thought alone should be a sobering realization that your life is not that bad, and it's time to get up and do something.

Yeah, PHP supports a REPL too! I sometimes found it useful when working on mediawiki to debug issues when a full blown debugger wasn't necessary. And if you were familiar with the various internal API's it was pretty easy to do simple maintenance tasks through the REPL without needing to write a script.
Detecting BS in healthcare
I agree with you, but I don't necessarily see a conflict between someone "teaching" me (what a guru basically is: a teacher, in a way) and other facets of their personality.

I've had many teachers that were superb at imparting their lessons while living with the foibles and flaws of being real people. You take what you need from the teacher and move on.

An example in popular culture: someone like Bill Cosby, who I am sure influenced countless people to be better people. Well, it turned out that he had major problems (to put it mildly!). Does that negate the "lessons" that he imparted in another aspect of his life? I would argue no.

I know you aren't negating this argument in your post, but I just wanted to say this and chose your post to glom onto! :)
As an atheist I’ve been thinking about that lately and I think I can agree. It looks like in the US nobody cares about the poor people and the homeless and the church is pne of the last organization trying to help people (and convert them, but still).

As long as the US will demonize socialism, people who have nothing won’t get help from the government.

Yes, it's a gilded cage, but the door is unlocked. It's pretty easy as a software engineer in the Bay Area to take off a few months between jobs, so you can scratch your writing itch during that time. Alternatively, you might be able to work 2-4 years while saving a bunch, and then take a year off to write.
I'm not sure this is always the case, starting a family later has a swath of benefits such as more life experience on on the part of parents, greater financial stability, and usually more ability to take time off. Both my parents quit their jobs and raised kids full time when my sister was born, and they were largely able to do so because they had kids later than average.

I have always enjoyed listening to recordings of Ram Dass at various points during his life (much more than I've enjoyed his writings). I have issues with a lot of his beliefs at various points, but his compassion always shines through and I feel like he is being honest with his listeners about his experience of his spiritual journey, even if sometimes he is seeing things through muddy waters. He is imperfect, and searching, and he is very generous and genuine in sharing his experiences. I don't usually feel like I am getting grand truths from him, other than the insight into one seeker's subjective (and powerful) experiences.
>This is like comparing apples and oranges, or at least, like comparing apples and apple-orange hybrids :)

>Just saying that Rails (RoR) has a command like byebug that opens an in-context REPL, seems to ignore the fact that compiled languages like Go catch many errors earlier, at compile time, so you don't even need an in-context REPL or a debugger to find those.

I definitely liked the type system of Go and the compile time errors it found. It gives you a lot of peace of mind and reduces some errors. However, those errors aren't the things I use byebug for. Byebug is for things like figuring out why your code went down Path A when you expected it to go down Path B. Or if you don't know how to do something it's a sandbox to try a few different things until you get the output you were looking for.

The more cities I live in, the more I learn that the national stereotypes of “Democrat” and “Republican” are meaningless.

A Democrat mayor of one city might have views and policies that would be seen as fully Republican by people in another city, and vice versa.

National-level politics is more uniform. But when you get to the local level, it’s all simply people picking the team they think will help them win the election.
I travel 80% of the year and before the merger, I was splitting my stays between Starwood and Hyatt. Occasionally I would be forced to stay at a Hilton or Marriott because of smaller market coverage.

Since the merger, I have barely stayed at Starwood/Marriott and don't plan on giving much business to them next year.

I typically stay at hotels 150-200 nights a year and with Starwood's upper tier, I was being treated very well and never had issues getting an agent on the phone for changes. Now, at the same level (Platinum Premier w/Ambassador), I have found myself spending more time waiting to talk to an agent and basic requests going unfulfilled.

Add to this that Marriott's website is one of the worst I have ever used and I just don't see much reason to stick around.

New book about Tesla written by a YC founder
Yes that's the big question, and I mention that in the article. Let's say for a moment that we can't achieve 100% accuracy, well one parallel to this situation would be autocorrect on our phones; it often corrects you when you didn't want it to or misinterprets your meaning. Yet we still use it as there is net gain in terms of convenience. If a BCI could instantly put your thought on to paper, and left you solely with a few typos to mop up, I think we'd all be willing to compromise.

In my area, it is very common for parents of boys that will be "young" when starting kindergarten to hold them back a year. They call it redshirting (a reference to US college athletics).

Our local school district prohibits the practice, but really can only enforce it at the kindergarten level. So many parents continue to enroll their boys in private preschool for two additional years and then enroll them in first grade when the school district can't say no. It is very rare for girls because of the assumption that emotional and behavioral development is far ahead of boys at that age.
Some might say we expect from our kids and push them for too much... we should let them be kids...

Don't fill them up with drugs for being young... i'm not saying you should lower your expectations from them it's just that people these days are getting dumber and want their kids to be better then them (and that's great) but it doesn't mean kids should be drugged to be more like adults

Push your kids don't drug them. They're just being kids.

> When youth starts to fade away, reality kicks in - the highly desirable partners are not interested, and the average ones are already committed to long time partners who valued them in their own youth. Their "family" started a long time ago with mutual investment - you can choose not to make that trade-off but cannot have the cake and eat it too.

As someone who has his cake and eats it too (and has ice cream) I can tell you that this is incorrect. Highly desirable partners could still be interested if you have used your younger days to acquire the skills that would compensate for not being a 25-year-old sex pot.

Unless she is Miranda Kerr she better be prepared for a life of someone who needs to go to the grocery store even when it is raining, and needs to take out trash even if she does not feel like it and needs to deal with a washing machine being broken all while a cat peed in a rug because her partner did not clean the litter box. And boy if she has been a sex pot between the ages of 17 and 35 she is in for a surprise.
The Manhattan project was also a straightforward application of known science. The US didn't discover nuclear fission in the desert. Atomic weaponry had been known to be possible for decades; the US was just the first to do it.

The US has been printing money since 1973. Generally speaking, when you debauch the currency you get inflation. For decades we've been pushing that inflation into stuff like real estate and stock market asset bubbles. This will likely continue in first rank cities since the printed money is going to elites and institutions who reside in such cities.

It's pretty interesting that the recent changes in the tax code have had the effect you'd predict: since you can't deduct property taxes and interest off your federal taxes in the same way as before, real estate has defacto become more expensive.

I haven't closely studied Tokyo real estate values, but I remember at one point Tokyo's real estate was worth more than Japan's GDP or something absurd like that. I think that bubble eventually normalized.
