Sounds like your perspective involves an omniscient ideal that does not and can not exist. Tradition exists for this very reason. We pass on what works, we do what works, and we don't presume to know what is better. That is what makes human beings so good at learning - we have the ability to hyper imitate one another. I see you doing something successfully, I don't need to know the actual process behind it, I just need to do it the way you do it.

Gratitude for what you have is a critical component of the formula. You seem to lack that. I hope you find it. You won't last long without it.

I recommend church. It helps. You evolved to do that too.
Yes, to be honest, it feels like it caught the author of the reply off guard and downed him/her into a existential crisis, and to fend that demon off - the protection spell of success, the mantra of self-promotion was cast.

Two lonely people meet in the public plaza, one walks home without its facade. But at least she is not as lonely as before. As lonely as the shining success story on the soap box. That pride in whatever-you-are-preach is so generic, so rehearsed, im sure, the author could have thrown this to a AA meeting or a junkie with the monkey on its back, without flinching.
From what I've seen if you walk up Broadway from Houston it is getting worse and worse, I think generally between 1st and 6th above Houston but lower than 14th is thinning (I realize that's a fairly large area)
> You don’t see politicians hauling the inventor of email onto TV and demanding that someone do a better job of censoring email.

I wish they would. That guy's (http://inventorofemail.com/) a piece of work :b
I had an experience with a woman who was banging on my door at night and threatening me. She had said she "already claimed me." I dont care about this woman and I dont have any ill will towards her but the whole thing was extroardinarily insane. Apparently she was working as a prostitute (someone else told me this and then showed me her ads on a website called backpage). After she threatened to physically hurt me, I eventually filed for a protection order. One witness said they would testify because they saw it. I asked my landlord for the video surveillance, but she said she would only provide it through subpoena. I couldnt find an affordable lawyer or figure out how to subpoena it before the court date. Later that witness renegged, saying they were threatened and said frankly 'I dont want you to get hurt, but who I really care about is myself and my family.' Others told me she had gone around saying her family was heavily involved in gang activity and she had told them to hurt me. She had posted strange things on FB about blood and violence, which some had shown me.

Nobody really wanted to help me beyond that, though. One lawyer I visited said "I cant help you," because she assumed I was the aggressor. I explained I wasn't and that I had proof, then said, 'yea I know most of the time it is probably is the guy who is the aggressor' and then she said "I knew you were a rampant sexist." What in God's name is this?

Nobody seemed seriously interested in putting things down to help me. Several other people seemed to end up hating me without ever even talking to me. It turned out my state had strict 2-party consent laws so whatever other evidence I could have possible have had was illegitimate. Many others privately told me they were sorry and that I should just 'move some new place and dont tell anyone.' Jesus Christ, I dont know, I didn't ask for this. Honestly, what the fuck. Sometimes the world seems insane.
Linux requires _literally_ no fiddling on recent Thinkpads.

The whole "having to tweak Linux" is a tired old meme.
Contributing to the resource needs of your social group and establishing a safe location to live and raise your young is exactly what you evolved to do. You aren't an amoeba, you're the most advanced mammal species on the planet. When you say "you evolved to reproduce" as if that doesn't include the other things I mentioned, you're kind of missing out on what gave you a survival advantage to begin with.
a) 5% is still one in 20. Are you doing 20 trials or more a month? (Of course, it won't be _exactly_ 5% of the time... there's some other statistics we could calculate to say how likely it is to differ by more than some specified delta to 5% depending on how many trials you run... oh my)

b) That's assuming you are using statistics right. It's quite hard to use statistics right.

ADHD researcher here, this was already known. ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder, the key is that developmental disorders occur over the time-course of typical development. To have a diagnosis of ADHD, there must have been symptoms before the age of 7, and furthermore, it's much more likely to occur in younger children because their executive functions are less well developed.

On the neurological level, there are different dopaminergic systems developing throughout childhood, such as the motor cortex, the prefrontal cortex, and the dopamine-based reward system. If the motor cortex develops too quickly before the PFC, which controls/regulates behavior, well you'll have hyperactivity that's unregulated. With less developed EF's comes getting out of the chair, losing things, daydreaming, hyperactivity, and all of the diagnosable symptoms of ADHD. Naturally, those who are 6-9 months younger (which might be a 10% age difference in kindergarten) are going to be in very different developmental stages. Requiring younger children to sit still and pay attention may be a much more challenging task since their brains are actually less developed. Thus, they more easily get pushed over the diagnosis line compared to their older classmates.

There is another wrinkle here beyond age, which is gender: boys are around 2.5-3X as likely to be diagnosed because they are more hyperactive naturally, i.e. their neurological systems develop at different rates than girls. This sort of behavior in the classroom is much more disruptive than what girls exhibit. Girls tend to be diagnosed with primarily inattentive subtype, since their motor cortex is not usually as over-active, but they still may suffer underdevelopment of the EF that helps them to focus. A girl daydreaming is much less disruptive than a boy standing on his chair, rolling on the floor, or wandering the classroom (all of which happened multiple times in my own classroom).

Question, where does one start, when planning to read the Linux kernel? There is so much code. I have read it, but randomly. I have read contents of net/ kernel.

I have read the main method where it attempts to launch pid1 of /bin/bash, etc.

Is there a really good place to start reading? For example how does Linux talk to the hard drive?

What's the first thing that happens in the kernel?
So. This company raised $75 million less than a year ago. It just raised another $50 million for "growth" now, 10 years after it was founded...for a grand total of $213 million in venture capital.

What the heck will these guys do now with $125 million that they couldn't do in the past 10 years with $88 million?

people in the latter group do not want just to live in houses with gardens. They want to live in houses with gardens where their neighbours also have houses with gardens.

If the apartments threaten to block the sun for your garden, is it really totally irrational to care?

You might think gardens are stupid, but you've got to admit gardens generally require sunlight!
This is good news for the vast majority of people in NYC. The same thing is happening in Seattle where I live, and I'm thrilled.
You evolved to contribute to the resource needs of your social group and establish a safe location to live and raise your young. If selling vacuum cleaners door to door paid the most and I was good at it, I would have done that instead of computer science. The point was to have the resources I needed to build something meaningful, not to work on computers.
Mh, war needs big resources, especially if parties involved want to win against big enemies and they have to fight for long time. In other words I do not think "terrorist"&c exists on their own. Sure lone wolves can do act autonomously without organizations but actual "info war" and "physical war" are backed by someone with big money and power.

I said life is better, not happy. I am not happy all the time, but my life is extremely meaningful. I'm leaning in to what evolution expects from me because that is the only thing that makes any sense at all. What real, meaningful purpose do I accomplish by struggling against the things I am most suited to do?

I would also point out that thousands of years of itinerant hunting and gathering is not the same as evolving to be itinerant. We are a highly adaptive species and we can live many different ways - we often do - but that doesn't mean we are ideally suited to all of them. The vast majority of people, including those in under-industrialized nations, are not itinerant and of those that are, it's not often by choice. There are clear advantages to staying in place. The fact that most people, in their current evolved state, choose to remain where they are, is just as valid evidence that we are suited to be stationary as the existence of itinerant hunter gatherers in the past is evidence that we are suited to move around.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Chile_earthquake

> [After the 2010 Chile earthquake] A research collaborative of Ohio State and other institutions have found, using GPS, that the earthquake [...] moved Concepción at least 3 metres (10 ft) to the west. [...] Several cities south of Cobquecura were also raised, by up to 3 meters.
> When someone does engage me though, and starts talking about something that interests me, I'll talk their damn ear off.

I catch myself talking too much about stuff I'm interested in, it doesn't help. I have to rein myself in. Cut myself off, ask the other person a question. Also, I don't bring up computers or tech unless they did. Turns out it's a niche subject.

> I've had dates text me after the fact with shitty comments like I was so self obsessed and never once asked them any questions about themselves and I'm like, you brought up a topic and we had an ongoing DIALOGUE for 3 hours where we both said quite a bit...

Talking at great length about something you're interested in isn't fun for the other person, in general, even if they're interested in it too. Perhaps try this, ask them about what they like, then get them to talk about that. Ask followup questions. Remember the answers next time you see them as best you can.

"There's this place that serves your favourite pizza, do you want to go there" or "Hey, isn't that dog one of your favourite breeds?", or "How did you get on at the climbing gym the other day"??

Google "How to talk to people".

> I don't know, I just don't get people I guess.

I'm 40, it took me practice to get to the point I did, and I still have to work at it. It has been rewarding so far.

> I suspect a lot of it comes down to I'm simply not interested in what many people are.

Yes, me neither. I have (self diagnosed) aspergers and/or ADHD. I have to make a game of social stuff, though not to the point that I'm treating people like toys or subjects.

> I'm just like yeahhh no clue.

I just ask questions. Just simple ones, not argueing, or even discussion. Just exploratory. Even if it's something I don't care about. "So, what was it like at your college", "If you had your time agian would you choose the same place", "Do you stay in contact with people from that time?" etc.

It doesn't matter if you're not interested in the answers.

YMMV, good luck.
If you can get capital for cheap (i.e. minimal dilution), then having a bit of cushion for any macroeconomic rollercoasters ain't such a bad idea. They can also use it for M&A, early employee liquidity, and a whole host of other useful functions.

Something I've long wondered about—shouldn't Ransomeware be relatively easy to detect with a heuristic? There aren't all that many† legitimate use cases for rewriting 30%+ of the data on your hard disk. Seems like a good time for the OS to pause the process and notify the user before continuing. If ZFS snapshots or similar are in use, there are even fewer cases where you'd want to rewrite 30% of data and delete all snapshots.

† Note, "not many" ≠ zero. I realize this would sometimes result in false positives, but I imagine the trade-off would be worthwhile, especially if the protection was user controlled.
Also as a Microsoft customer since 1989, I agree. QA is definitely in the toilet. Every release is increasingly detrimental to the customer.

Sometimes they are actively used against you. In that case the right course of action should even be clearer.
The most important thing for humans, is other humans. That gets left out of these types of discussions a lot, I think.

I'm not one to hark back to the "glory days" of primitive society, but original humans operated in relatively close-knit groups, even when those groups were nomadic.

I don't think we've moved on, psychologically, from that. There's a lot of cliches that touch on this, like "social media isn't the same as real relationships," but ultimately I think what Haunted needs is to just pick one place and find a community. A real community, not just girlfriends to drink with once a week.

In our modern, complex society, it's not as easy as it sounds, since we don't all get a community by birthright like a lot of rural communities in the 99% agricultural days did, but there are tools and such to help you find an interest and a community.

In her case, as someone who also aspires to write, there are writers seeking community with other writers in nearly every town in the USA, and definitely every major city. It sounds weird to say you can fix your problems on meetup.com, but there's no substitution for consistent human contact and real friendships that go beyond work functions or weekend softball games.

It's disingenuous to say that the government borrows from SS. The SSA needs a savings account for its money and the Treasury offers that, though T-Bonds.

It's two sides of the same coin with totally different implications. It's, "I bought a CD." vs. "The bank keeps borrowing from me."

Yes. I think we need stronger education in middle school and high school as to what kids cost, and what they deserve in terms of a stable home and parenting, education, etc. And to not have kids until you are in a position to provide those things.

It's a biological drive so it's tough. But I think we could do better. We're too sensitve that we might be "poor shaming" or such nonsense to even discuss it these days.
I was speaking to the owner of the building I work in (335 Madison) about this, he said because so much is owned by families and paid off, (his included) they can afford to leave them empty vs lower the rent, therefore lowering the property values that are leveraged.

I started a novel ten years ago because I thought I had a bunch of cool science fiction ideas. I never got very far writing it.

And yet I never really stopped thinking about it, working on its universe, occasionally taking notes and making outlines. Only much more recently, having trashed most of the original science fiction, replacing it with more social and economic speculation, I realized what it was actually about – this story finally had a reason to exist, a mission. This is what drives me to write it now: Not the fun of imagining an escapist future, but the urgency of exploring a world we might find ourselves in.

My best idea for this novel turned out to be waiting to write it.
My birthday is in November, and the cutoff when I started school was October 31st. I was always the oldest kid in my grade, all the way through highschool. Back when I went to school, ADHD didn't exist as an identified condition. If it had, I may have been diagnosed.

Everything was way too easy for me, and I acted out a bit, perhaps out of boredom, or simply because I had way too much free time. I've always been "book smart", even among people my age, and it was particularly true when I was six months older than the median student in my class and nearly a full year older than some.

I'm highly skeptical of ADHD as an actual condition. Some kids clearly have learning and behavioral problems, but I've got plenty friends and family whose kids were diagnosed as ADHD and they are now medicating them into submission. I think most of them are more like me; they're not being stimulated enough at school, or stimulated properly. These kids need better schooling and better parenting. They don't need to be drugged up.
Oh they'll use it...I have no doubt about that. If I led this company, I'd be foolish to turn it down (without knowing anything else). I'm less sure what's going through heads of their investors.
This sounds like me, except the debt and relationship problems.

I'm 90% sure I have add, but I'm afraid treatment would turn me into a zombie. It would be really nice to be able to work on crap at work I can't stand doing, but at the same time it would be awful.

Microsoft paid $150 million, not $250 million. And Apple had $1.2 billion in cash at the time, so they weren't on the brink of bankruptcy, just headed that way. It looks as if Apple would have won its patent infringement case against Microsoft, since there were thousands of lines of quicktime code found in Windows media player (probably added by mistake, but even so...). That was a smart deal by Apple, dropping the infringement suit, because Microsoft pledged to develop Office for Macs. No Office, no Mac sales to businesses. There was a time when Macs couldn't open Word .doc files, not with formatting intact, so it was an incredible barrier to communication.

Whose job is it/should it be to get that infrastructure built, and on what timeline? Obviously it's not reasonable for a private contractor to have to build a school addition for each housing block (or is it?), but if the people haven't moved in yet then there's no data to show the city so that they can project tax/levy money and scale schooling, transit, and other infrastructure appropriately.

If we let the circular dependencies stymie us at all turns, we'll never get anywhere. Gotta start somewhere, and having people to clamor for services seems like a good place to do so as any to me.
I agree with the other answers here: it depends on the use case. But all else being equal, I'd start with a REST API, and build an additional (not replacement) GraphQL API when necessary.

Using GraphQL to create, fetch and write individual objects in a typical CRUD app, without complex object relationships, adds a good bit of unnecessary complexity. Luckily, this is where REST shines.

If/when the domain model evolves, building a parallel GraphQL API for complex (read-only) queries will help solve querying/filtering/complex object fetching better than REST can.

GraphQL for writes/updates doesn't seem worth it for general use cases, but can be appropriate if it matches your domain model.

So in other words, if you're running ads or A/B testing scripts on your payment page, you're open to security issues without much in the way of a fix. It's easy to say to use hashes and resource integrity, but some things are loaded from third party servers and change on the fly/dynamically...
The issue with corn syrup is mostly that it made it cheap for producers to load up their food with it. And most people like sweet food, so they eat more and buy more.

Corn syrup isn't really any better or worse for you than cane sugar, it's just a lot cheaper.
Well, if they're not offering the course than that makes it difficult, and if it turns out it's not the lack of CCNA that's preventing you getting a job then you've not done yourself any favours.

Well, that's just one possibility in a space of many.

The core of the point is this, reiterating from the article: obviously a ministry of truth is bad. But isn't the chaos just as bad, since it is susceptible to be dominated by an "implicit" equivalent of the ministry of truth?

To what extent are people really deciding for themselves when they think they're deciding for themselves? If freedom is our highest ideal, how do we empower the maximal amount of people to make decisions for themselves without these influences?
