* below is based on my own personal experience, and journey.

some of the comments I have read below are about “what to do” to increase confidence.

While these are super useful, they are most likely a bandaid, with a scar that never heals. I have come to learn this lesson myself.

There is the “generic” advice that you will find all over the blogospheres “exercise, meditate, take up a sport etc. ” I tried it all. It works up to an extent. But does not really help you generate true self confidence (IMHO).

What I am going to discuss below is not generic(I.e exercise). It is a process you could use that will answer some key questions and is fully customised to you.

Some warnings/tips first:

- This process is super difficult.

- Effectively you have to confront or re-live some of your most difficult memories

- You will initially feel like you aren’t making progress
Stick with it

- do not do this if you believe you have serious psychological issues

- have someone you can talk to about this, a friend or confident who could help you make sense of it

- speak to your family(Brothers, sisters, parents ) as well. They could help you Clarify details and lend support .

-This
Process has worked for me as mentioned above

- Also note this is a never ending journey. You will always discover ways to improve.

- It’s the first time I am actually writing it down. I use this process as more of a heuristic rather than an algorithm. Take what you need and modify as needed.

So the main question is, based on yours is:

how does one develop a sense of true-self confidence?

The process:

1. Start with a question, as you have.

2. Then reframe the question: ask Why am I.... x

I.e why am I not confident?

3. Start journaling, log and reflect on the times you feel like this. The “why am I...”
questions to ask: who, what, where, when, how?

4. Pay attention to your thoughts at these times. Pay attention to your body and how your fee in it. Jot them down. Do this for a few weeks.

5. This is critical: Reflect on your history as far back as you can go. Note down major life incidents, good, bad, Conflicts etc. I prefer to do this visually creating a timeline. Then mapping events, what i thought at the time, who was involved etc. Similar to the questions in your journal.

6. Review your journals/notes and timeline. Look for a link between your history and your triggers/thoughts/feelings/fears

7. Speak to others involved in key incidents. What was going on, how did they see the situation? Is it similar to how you have seen it. What do they remember? Note these down. How did you feel?

8. The key question you want answers for when reviewing your timeline and journals is: What in my past is influencing my behaviour and actions today?

In other words review your timeline and then link to your notes, journal.

I am almost certain you will find it in this process.

If anyone has questions ping
Me on email. If this is useful and you get value. Let me know once you have been through it.
I definitely agree with your assessment. Gary talks about "unworrying" part a lot, actually. Comparison is the thief of joy. If you compare yourself to others or "what you could have been / could still be", you're not gonna be happy with yourself. There is something "zen" about not being too worried/anxious about fulfilling your potential, but yet still driven enough to go out and improve yourself.
The claim is that the original is no longer being maintained. Is that true? It changes a lot about what I would think of this move.
I don't think there's a chain of valid reasoning that can start with a few very exceptional people (that is to say these people are an exception, whether it be by talent, effort, or luck) and end with any conclusions about what is normative for the burned-out developer.

Mac has had the mantle of “user friendly OS for developers” for a long time, but how much longer will that last? Apple seems not to care about the use case much and perhaps Microsoft can patch all the issues of not being built on Unix with stuff like this.
Kay's 1993 writeup on Smalltalk history is a worthwhile read, if you're into OO, PL, or computing in general. He gets into his 1966 exposure to Simula.

Just one data point here, but with the exception of the cgi module a long time ago, I haven’t used any of these modules in the past 15 years of web programming, ETL scripts, or data processing. In the keep list, I’ve used fileinput once that I can remember.
> disincentivizing these people from providing additional value ...

but the question i have is whether these people who are ultra rich really did provide the value to society that their wealth suggests.

Did bezos or zuckerberg create value? Or did they just extracted the residual value from their employees?

May be instead of a wealth cap, the cap needs to be applied at income (and also make capital gains into income). Your wealth total is uncapped, but you as a person, could not possibly have created more value than $X per year. Where X is set can be debated, but i would expect it to be less than $10mil.

Taxes are transfers. Elimination of taxes are reducing transfers.
So would locking the cab that is not in use.
Multiple reasons:

Big companies are frequently composed of components with distinct culture, benefits, legal entity, and so on. People get to know one part, then assume that all parts are that way. I'm in a component with compensation that is better than average for the big company. The association isn't beneficial.

Using the big company name means adhering to corporate branding requirements. People could somehow imagine me to be issuing official corporate communications, which is far from the truth.

I might get more responses, but would I want them? We're fighting to keep out the toxic people who want to focus on politics. We have important work to do.

There is an absurd Glassdoor review out there. If that is to be believed, we pay highly experienced cleared specialists about as much as they'd make cooking food at In-N-Out or Chick-Fil-A. Our office would be empty if that were the pay being offered.
> I wish I'd opted for the 1t model vs 512g drive

Hi there. You can buy a sintech adapter on amazon that will let you put a standard NVME SSD into a macbook air/retina 2013-2015 model (and maybe some others).

It costs about $20.

With that, you can choose some of the cheap, new, fast, 2TB disks and get a massive improvement in speed and storage capacity for relatively little money. Google around; there are some recommended drives.

From what I've read the 'long' version of the sintech is the best one to buy. The upgrade process is on ifixit; it's super easy. You will also need a torx screwdriver; again you can buy a 'mac fixing kit' for $5-10 on amazon etc.

> if you were in the public aren't people legally allowed to take photos of you and upload it wherever they want?

No, not in the US, depending on exactly what you're doing. Taking pictures of people in public is legal, but there are restrictions on what you can do with them.

> If it weren't legal there wouldn't be paparazzi I would think.

The law is different, and less restrictive, when it comes to certain classes of people such as celebrities and politicians.
From a 2010 article, "...nearly half of the subway system’s 4,313 security cameras that have been installed — in stations and tunnels throughout the system — do not work..."

From riding the MTA I imagine its actually a very challenging environment between the leaking mystery fluids and the electronic noise, but of course I don't mean to take the blame off the multi-billion dollar organization that should be able to handle installing some security cameras, but the infrastructure is just falling apart in every way.

Who said anything about removing him from history? This is the disinginious argument the right makes. Equating removing thestatues and monuments of less than ideal figures with complete erasure from historical records. In reality there has been real people erased from the records and they always turn out to be people of color and women.

Python minor versions allow things to be removed and thus 'break backwards compatibility'. There is a process for warning of upcoming deprecation then removing it after that. For modules this is documented in PEP 4 (from 2000). Similar deprecation schedules are used by other important ecosystems such as Django.

We'd be on way more than Python 3 if the major version was bumped for each one.
Have you seen https://arcade.makecode.com ?

They give the clothes description, general age, and sex of the culprit, but not the ethnicity ... and I can’t decide if that’s smart or stupid.
Even if it isn't being maintained, I wish they had changed the name if they were forking or reimplementing without permission. There's a reason trademark law exists and doesn't require registration if you can prove the situation.

But yeah, it's a lot harder to fight Red Hat (soon IBM!) over that if the project is inactively maintained and there's no registration.

Still, whether legal or not, the name squat is not a good look for Red Hat.

What's super interesting to me is the differences in flat prices for my particular building. My building is mirrored, but the flats on my saide of the building are cheaper than the other side by a huge margin. I wonder if people overpayed because they didn't have tools like this to inform them.
I think more interesting than 'who made X first' is 'what did X mean to A vs B'. So irrespective of whether Simula had objects first or Smalltalk did, the debate should be how Kay's perspective of objects was different than Simula's.

E.g. Kay wrote:

> Simula can't be praised too highly, and it was a huge influence. But if you take the care to check, you will find out that what I termed "Object Oriented" was quite different from Simula in (what I thought were) important ways. And if you are looking for the earliest inventions of ideas like these, there are several that predate Simula (take a look at that HOPL II chapter mentioned above)

(via https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15580308)

Some of the context is covered in the write-up, but there's more. E.g. one thing I hear from Kay is that objects are some kind of replacement for thinking about computing as procedures + data structures. And perhaps that we're still exploring the objects idea stuck into the old context (of procedures) rather than a new context of objects-only.
Why would this be ethically questionable? It is not as if you are scanning people against their will.
I think they were trying to do something really different. I'm interested to see what Bennett Foddy does with the crank. If you aren't familiar, he's a master of making games that really emphasize the control scheme. Check out out QWOP, it's lesser known cousin GIRP, or Getting Over it (which is one of those games that sounds horrible but is actually really fulfilling to play)
> The idealistic argument would be that moving to IT and algorithms reduces the gross amount of human bias that currently enters into the system.

That is not my argument. I am merely saying that I don't think facial recognition is going to present problems that outweigh its value as a law enforcement tool. There will no doubt be some abuses, just as there is of any new technology. I support regulation and intense scrutiny of how law enforcement uses these tools, to minimize the severity and duration of these abuses. But I don't think that means it's a good idea that Amazon's board should have to approve each entity attempting to use their services individually.

> we should fight against all those sources that feel falsely entitled to get a slice of our brains and time for themselves.

Why are they falsely entitled? You're choosing to give your attention to a site in exchange for its content. That was your choice. The site turns around and sells a tiny slice of your attention to an ad provider in order to actually make money. But make no mistake, this was the attention that you chose to give to the site in exchange for its content, and that site can spend your attention how it wishes. If you don't like how it spends your attention, don't patronize that site anymore.

I don't believe there is a natural grammar that is unambiguous, instead I think in the realm of computer languages it's more a process of creating a jargon set that relates to terms but explicitly overrides them with unambiguous meanings within the domain.

For instance `new Object` - we're all going to read that as "create a new object that hasn't existed before" but within english a `new Object` could also be an antique you happen to have recently acquired, so `new` could be comprehended to be an acquisition action - like copying an Object - rather than creating a new one... But in our fancy computer language jargon we have forever banished the "new to me" meaning from `new`.
Why the name playdate?
I'd look hard at the tests first. Apart from the question of validity of the measures: it's possible that the standardized tests are not keeping up with the changing ways we interact with the environment.

E.g., how many kids play with blocks these days? Building model skyscrapers, log cabins, model railroads? Outdoor games? -Unstructured- play time?

Quite a bit different from Minecraft, physically and mentally.

Or, possibly the testmakers are modifying the tests, but the new numbers are not readily comparable to the old ones.

It strikes me as odd that we accept and even celebrate law and order for the individual person, but many people balk as soon as the same standard is applied to an organisation.

The war on drugs and mass incarceration of weed smokers is fine. Regulating a woman's body by banning abortion is fine. Regulating against a woman to protect the rights of a rapist is fine. Regulating sexuality is fine.

But regulate ISPs, or Hollywood, or financial institutions, or Walmart or Amazon, or whatever other corporation? Oh hell no, that's a cardinal sin. You can't get in the way of money.

I think that running a business should be a privilege, one that can be properly revoked when the business fails to serve the society it depends on.

stdlib usually written in Python, not in C. So I guess it won't affect the build time much. It will reduce test time but I'm not sure.

text-to-speech synthesis + voice recognition can revive text based adventures as lightweight audio only games.

the best immersion engine is human imagination. a world in which literary fiction becomes interactive content, and authors begin to write for their work to be performed - to be read out loud and be repeatable with hidden narrative structures - creates an interesting alternative to the current direction the video game industry is going (total artificial immersion).

imagine setting a game in a real city and having players play through a day, mixing real physical locations and objects with virtual audio characters and allowing for the relatively low-tech solution of only engaging the one sense artificially but all other senses in reality to create a type of spacial-temporal ambiguity, the inversion of immersion.

would also be great for guided tours, recommending people places to visit, as a teaching aid and a typical shift away from reading as the primary mechanism our civilization is geared around which is a specialized skill that requires years of training and teaches bad habits around attention, severely limiting memory retention and creating unrealistic freedom when it comes to conveying information, when in the world things only happen once one way, in the artificial world of permanent words time stops to flow and the authors intent can be masked and layered behind tricks and tactics difficult to discern, it is much harder to lie and distort things in person.

I've been seeing this meme recently that object-oriented programming is not what we think it is, but rather that it's some other ethereal quality which does not exist as a paradigm in modern languages. Isn't it fair to say that object-oriented programming is what the huge amount of C++/Java/C#/etc programmers perceive it to be, rather than some ideal envisioned by dead languages like Smalltalk and Simula?

Female voice assistants fuel damaging gender stereotypes, says a UN study
"The proposals faced an uphill battle. Amazon’s board recommended against them" - for those not aware, the way shareholder voting works for Amazon, is that shares that aren't voted are assumed to vote the same way the board recommends. This means to get any proposal different to the board's recommendation, you need to get more active voters for the proposal, than those opposed + not voting.

There was a shareholder proposal recently to make the default for non-voters abstain instead of "whatever the board wants", but the board recommended against it and it was defeated.
That's been deprecated as well. The current docs say you should do this

> I wish they had changed the name if they were forking or reimplementing without permission.

Has the name not changed to "pcp", or am I missing something? "pcp dstat" appears to be a command, but that seems like a reasonable abbreviation for "hey pcp, please give me a dstat-like interface".

[Edit] Correction. https://github.com/dagwieers/dstat/issues/156 says the following, so there is a compatibility symlink using the name "dstat". However the project name appears to be "pcp-dstat" or "pcp dstat".

"Since there had been no meaningful work on the old dstat code in years, github PRs were being ignored, community developers requesting access to help were being ignored, and we have customers using it ... we were asked to make this as seamless a transition as possible, provide that compatibility symlink for /usr/bin/dstat to pcp-dstat, and remove the old package from RHEL and Fedora."
