No it does not make sense, but I think what you may be missing is that it is not supposed to make logical sense as a concept, it's supposed to appeal to other parts of a person's psyche such as pride and belonging. So this contradiction and confusion that you observe is completely accurate, but that doesn't deteriorate the effectiveness of "generational thinking" at what it does.

I think it's just a part of a bigger pattern that groups of humans tend to fall into where they pick arbitrary lines to divide them into groups so that they can justify condescending the other group.

There is also the other component that people like to tell narratives with history, which is easier when you can condense the actions of millions of people into a number of categories you can count on your hand. Largely speaking, I think the world is just really complex and the ways we try to simplify it and comprehend it break down in some illogical ways because they were never superbly accurate models in the first place.

It's good to know (I wasn't aware before) that this trend isn't present in all groups of humans, it gives me hope that it is able to be overcome collectively.

Excellent point. My mom got suckered by a couple of MLM schemes when I was a kid. She was very sharp but really wanted to improve our lives, and these people sold the opportunity angle really hard. Although it made me absolutely hate get-rich-quick schemes, I also know that the people caught up in them are generally sincere and well meaning.

Good luck with it! Feel free to drop me a line and let me know how it goes.
Late reply, and I'm sure you're smart enough to know this already, and are hopefully already planning it - but get the hell out of there, fast.

Agreed. I live the life of incredible luxury compared to when my parents were my age, definitely in terms of "life experiences" and material possessions....except for housing. Getting on the property ladder seems like a dream that's very far away, even when working as an IT professional.

The comment you're responding to isn't an attitude that the poster has, it's an explanation of how students are responding to changes in incentives.

As the total number of college graduates grows, they're competing in job markets that are smaller than the total number of college graduates. This ratio is unbalanced and becoming more unbalanced with every year. The people hiring college graduates are developing stricter and stricter filters in order to decide what body of people they're even going to allow to compete in the job market; the biggest, easiest filter to sort out who's truly competitive for positions is grades, and so it makes sense that students compete to get the best grades. rather than competing to be the most competent.

Most grads are leaving college in tremendous debt with the understanding that the longer they go without employment, the less likely it is they'll end up employed. This means that while they're in college, rather than focusing on the material they're learning, they're focusing on whatever will allow them to have the largest advantage when they enter the job market. In order for this trend to reverse, the cost of college needs to be dramatically lessened; I think this could be accomplished by reducing the total percentage of high school graduates that attend college immediately, increasing the prevalence of online schools, and reducing university overhead by cutting services to students and administrative positions.
The book is not really about algorithms, it talks about async, multithreading, with example on a building a chat app or a Wikipedia parser and a tweeter clone. So it's more web backend oriented for the practical stuff.

Obviously it also goes into Nim specific features like metaprogramming, interfacing with C and JS and the standard lib features in general.

FWIW, I wasn't talking about SOHO. At least in my experience, defaults work well for home & shared work dirs for O(10k) users (not all simultaneously active, though). HA is a pain, though, if you want to DIY, I'll grant you that.

Complex? Sounds like a pretty standard NFS environment.

Yeah, no personal experience there. What did you have to do there?

We did have a clustered NFS appliance for HPC use a decade or so ago. People like to complain how Lustre is a beast to run, but IME Lustre has been smooth sailing compared to the grief that POS gave us. But that wasn't really the fault of the NFS protocol per se, it was just the architecture as well as the implementation of that appliance was crap, particularly so for HPC.

My two cents, do one thing well. Monitoring is as hard to tackle as good, and meaningful dashboarding.

I would focus on working on integrating with third party monitoring keeping the core in the dashboards. Coming from and industrial control & instrumentation background I like dashboards that show all elements in a system and how they interact with each other (Look for SCADA dashboards of a turbine, for example)

looks great btw, kudos and good luck!

That's actually the worst, since that opens you up to getting counterfeit items from reputable sellers, due to Amazon's inventory commingling.

I guess I didn't state my case clearly. My point was (in part) that religion can provide purpose if people lean into it the right way, and that having a purpose can stave off the desire to be numb - emotionally and physically.
Maybe I'm misreading the article, but it seems like Amazon is trying to fix the atrocious third party and counterfeit seller problem that people have been complaining about for years?

"Quality of life" is a problematic term in that context.

Within bounds it's possible to compare. Two families living on the same street, one has $10k higher income than the other, the higher income family has (at least the potential for) a higher QoL.

But comparing someone with a high income in a downtown flatshare who has an ~infinite entertainment budget to someone who is well on the way to owning a home outright in the suburbs is really hard (e.g. a 30yo in London, vs their parents at 30yo).

The former doesn't have a higher or lower QoL than the latter because you can't define a benchmark without it being opinionated.
What do they mean by overdose?

The WSJ did not seem to properly cite its sources here, but I am guessing it is this:

>"Drug overdose deaths are identified using underlying cause-of-death codes from the Tenth Revision of ICD (ICD–10): X40–X44 (unintentional), X60–X64 (suicide), X85 (homicide), and Y10–Y14 (undetermined)."

Overdosing on opiods is only one part of this category. Basically if you take too little/much of a medication (eg, blood pressure medication) you would be counted here. So I wonder if this increase is not just reflecting a general increase in taking medications.
"Housing and food are two areas where millennials have spent less than previous generations." Spending less on food I would believe; we have tremendous abundance and it's inexpensive relative to everything else. Housing, though? That...doesn't seem correct, unless they're including in the calculation millennials who live with their family and pay nothing for housing. Can anyone point to a reference that backs up the claim that millennials are paying less for housing than the prior generation?

It's not a bad point to be proven, but it's not "simply how it works". You can get along just fine without dating absolute nutters. And you can get hired without responding to unrealistic, overreaching job postings.

Go ahead and take that stand. The only thing you are missing out on is the very worst the world has to offer. Have reasonable standards, and uphold them. It's okay. If you can't find anyone who actually meets your standards, it's probably because their signal is currently being overwhelmed by the noise. You won't ever be able to find them if you just set a dumb filter just above the noise floor.

If a company wants five years of experience in a two-year-old technology, add them to your blacklist for a year, and just let them hire as many liars as they can find. If they're all working somewhere else, they're less likely to apply to be your co-workers. And that company certainly won't be paying 2.5x as much for 5 years experience as the market rate for 2.

And that's what's missing from the article. It focuses on the amount of overlap between candidate and job description, and completely ignores whether the posting itself is offering a reasonable compensation for the mythical candidate it wants. How many times have you seen "WANTED: full-spectrum engineer with 10 years of experience who is an expert in all levels of multiple technology stacks; 6-month contract-to-hire $60k/year, relocation required"? That isn't even hyperbole. It's cherry-picked and amalgamated from the worst postings I have ever seen, but it is not an exaggeration.

Those dating profiles with the unrealistic expectations are all about what the person wants, and nothing about what is offered in return. You're never going to get a partnership between equals from someone like that. You can certainly get to be the cult leader's consort/concubine, but you're usually better off with someone who actually values you as an individual.
I think it's largely that bullhorn. Before the Internet, you might read a magazine article or hear a news story once in while, but now that (almost) everybody can have a global voice, there are a lot more voices complaining about everything.
A couple things:

1. Age distribution is not uniform: the histogram of people's ages really is multimodal (https://www.census.gov/newsroom/blogs/random-samplings/2016/...) so talking about generations is a way to think about the "clusters" of ages.

2. Intuitively there is a certain zeitgeist that comes from being around for certain events or being affected by certain societal or economic forces. What did it mean to be a teenager or a college student in 1968? Do Americans who recall September 11, 2001 versus those too young to remember it think differently about things? How did the recession of 2007 affect those who were starting off their careers versus those who were about to retire? Generations are an attempt to generalize the answers to these questions.

Generations are a bullshit idea from the marketing/advertisement cesspool to give themselves makework. The idea that demographic trends are descrete or have some sort of constant period is ludicrous, but this stuff has so pervaded pseudo-intellectional relms of media that, yes, real scientists at the real US government have stooped to using them.

*I should point out that the "boomers" are real insofar that birthrates did rise and fall. The rest is bullshit. There's no "boomlet" caused by them. "Greatest" is more senial Regan shit still haunting us. X, Y, is being too lazy to even find a bullshit name, and millennial is believing that the way we count years somehow matters—actually probably does in a bunch of ways completely unrelated to the things marketing cares about.

The whole thing was invented by two boomers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strauss%E2%80%93Howe_generatio...

My personal theory is that it is just an artifact of US boomer navel-gazing and self-exceptionalism.

Also that it fits in nicely with peoples' tendency to want to drop other people into little buckets so that they don't have to think about them too hard. People do the same thing with race, believing these differences between us are discrete and fall into categories that define our essence, rather than continuous multivariate gradations.

Almost anything you can find on Amazon you can find at another online retailer with a quick search. And anything that has a brand name (that isn't a commodity, e.g. batteries, or store brand) can probably be found on the brand's own website.

Here's an example: the other day I was buying some funny socks as christmas presents. They sell on Amazon as well as their own store. The price was the same on both, but I would get free shipping, and faster shipping, from Amazon. Nonetheless, I chose to buy directly from the company because I don't like the way Amazon does business sometimes, and because buying directly gives smaller retailers a bigger cut.

As I've been running and growing a few very small online retail operations myself, I feel a lot better about supporting other small businesses directly.

Guesswork here, but it might be possible due to a selection effect.

If you can obtain a mortgage, you are more likely to (be willing to) spend more on that mortgage than you would on the rent for a number of reasons.

Anecdotally, I see people attempting to spend as little as possible on flatshares because they don't think they'll ever have a high enough income to bother with that, so they don't save either, and just enjoy themselves with the money left over (spending as little time at home as possible).
I can't even imagine how that would have to be implemented. I think your best bet is something that can be turned on and off easily.
