> "Patriotism, religion and having children rate lower among younger generations than they did two decades ago"

The era of hyper-partisanship, unprecedented wealth inequality, and access to the Internet are going to have that effect.

I really don't know what the older generation really expects. Modern conservatism (little 'c', not Trumpism) is really a practice of transferring wealth to the current crop of old people, at the expense of their children and grandchildren. They will get their retirement, because they think they deserve it, even if it means that the whole system will crumble behind them.

And they have the nerve to lecture us and lament the withering of "traditional values". Man, screw that. I can't afford kids because I'm paying into a social security system for you that won't be there fore me. I wish they'd do us the same favor their parents did for them: get into the ground.

/s, of course. (sorta)
They would need to be the same... and if we can't get people to standardize on internet protocols, good luck with something that actually affects whether the product works well or not!

You can also get cash out of an asset like land by using it to back loans. So you get the advantage of land appreciation and borrowing money on a tax deductible basis at very low interest rates.

If the land is appreciating at 10%/year then it is a no brainer to borrow against it at 4% (pre tax)
That's one stupendously negative way to look at it. Obviously it varies project to project. In California, where I've worked up close with many old and new projects, the new ones are almost always far better off than the old-school projects in terms of safety, cleanliness, community activity, etc. And they provide a lot of market-rate and middle-income housing in addition to low-income and senior housing.

33 here - Never cared much for religion..they look, act, feel like cults but there's an approved list of these cults apparently. Having a kid changed my life for the better but I was probably in the "not so important" boat before that happened.

The big one for me is patriotism. When I was younger I was quite conservative, very pro-USA, refused to believe that any country could possibly do anything better than the way we were doing it. Then I started traveling and actually experiencing the rest of the world, and all of those things just faded away. I'm still an American - I love the 4th of July and believe in our country's future. I just don't subscribe to the notion that the USA is best and that I should be proud of it no matter what, or that American's are somehow special relative to anyone else.
Don’t regret anything about taking this path. Six months of Mandarin is barely enough to learn the consonant and tone system right, starting getting the writing system and learning few patterns and vocabulary. In any case, you wouldn’t have held conversations in it like you did with Esperanto.
You can easily serialise a well fleshed out (i.e. non-anemic) object. Does the view layer in this particular example need to know the encapsulated business rule? In my experience, not usually. Otherwise, there's most likely a problem with responsibilities. And when that data comes back from the UI, it's also relatively easy to reconstitute it back to well fleshed out objects.
I’m on the younger side of the millennial group. Freedom and democracy are wonderful in theory but the US has been run by plutocrats since it’s inception. It was literally built on slavery and black people have, today, 10% of the wealth of white people. And you can do anything you want in this wonderful society, so long as you can afford it. And that’s only one group getting screwed over - for 50 years the median purchasing power has held flat or declined. For markets that are easily captured by the bourgeoisie such as healthcare, education, and housing prices have risen to beyond what anyone can reasonably pay. Technocrats are worried that my generation is having fewer children because we’re perpetually in debt and have a hard enough time taking care of ourselves. So you see? The teams have changed, but its the same old game of who’s getting kicked and who’s doing the kicking.

That’s what I think of the uniquely American delusion of freedom and democracy, thanks for asking.

The nominal purpose of the Raspberry Pi is education. The Raspberry Pi Foundation (RPF) sells Pi's commercially and they fold the profits back into their education program. They present Python as a good language to use on the Pi (for their educational uses), just as they recommend using Raspbian (their Debian variant) as the OS, but neither of those are required. They certainly don't discourage people from running other languages on them.

Having said that, a Raspberry Pi running Python under Raspbian is a great little machine for special purpose tasks. I have half a dozen at home, with 15k lines of Python running in my living room (weather station, home automation, etc.).

> I'm not having any trouble distinguishing anything here. I understand the market allows for gradients in quality.

I haven't made myself clear enough then: "The best" can still be awful, it's just better than whatever the next best alternative is, from a market perspective.

The market, at the end of the day, is people. If people reward short-lasting and cheap products over long-lasting and more expensive products, those are the "best products" in terms of adaptation to market demand.

They're never the best products in terms of resource usage or the environment or some other externality. That is unless that's what the market rewards, which it does to some degree, see "green advertising".

> The free market isn't especially efficient if massive resources are used to produce short-lived items when they might instead be used to produce more durable ones.

Nevertheless, market economies tend to be more efficient than non-market economies at allocating resources to where they are needed. This is because of local information advantage.

As I said, perhaps some future technology can be even more efficient at allocating resources than a market made out of people.

> But I'm arguing against the premise that started this thread. It was that a free market would result in the highest quality goods at the lowest price.

You didn't read that right. The OP started out by saying what companies should do: Produce the best products at the lowest prices. It's a prescription, not a prediction.

Of course what companies actually would like to do is sell the worst products at the highest prices. It's just that the market won't let them get away with it, unless they have really good sales and marketing, which is a big cost in and of itself.

In effect, the tendency with mass market products is to lower prices towards marginal cost and improve (or reduce) quality to acceptable levels, but not beyond. In the niches, for those people who really care and are ready to pay the price, there's still room for excellent products, maybe with a "lifetime warranty"

I built a translator service between my devices and Sentry to take the memory dump and a known symbol file to rebuild the context serverside and send it back to Sentry. I only used this during development and early testing, but it was super useful.

At one point I thought about building this out more, so I'm glad to see someone is taking this on more seriously.

Depends somewhat on how long you've been looking to fill the position and the position speciality itself. But my general rule for most software positions is anything over a couple of weeks waiting for a senior candidate to make a decision and I'd tell them we will have to rescind the offer and move on (jr candidates is a week for me generally but there are exceptions). I also offer fair salaries from the start and don't play any games trying to negotiate, if the candidate says they want X more, I'll see if it fits and if so give it to them, if not I won't. I generally don't have that problem often though because I start with a strong offer within our limits.

If you know you offered a low salary for the experience candidate then first, shame on you, second fix it and see if that resolves it but be careful not to make it all about money. A fair salary with fair benefits in a good environment will beat a slightly higher salary that has a blah working environment. And senior candidates can tell from interviews which is which.

Easiest thing to do is reach out and just ask what is it that is hanging you up on making a decision. Be up front and see what they say, maybe they were waiting for an offer that promised them a magic amount of money, which doesn't even mean it is that different than your offer, but maybe it checks some goal box for them. Or maybe they are waiting to see if a special company accepted them, usually you have to figure that out by reading between the lines as most people won't be direct and say that. Don't do this via email or IM, get the person on the phone or video call and just have a talk.

As a counter to my argument, some friends that hire at other companies will not put a defined limit but they make every offer contingent on the position still being open. So essentially if they make you an offer this week and you take 3 weeks to respond they may have filled it and so no longer have a position for you. But they don't push you to make a decision. I don't personally like this method, but it can be efficient.
This is a deeply nihilist position.

FYI religion is not 'some guy in a cloud' and I'll suggest there's the possibility that a narrow interpretation of Scientific Materialism has led you to your state of depression.

Why so many smart people are unable to see past this material construct is beyond me, like a generation stuck in a mental Chinese finger puppet.

Consider for a moment that life is not something material, but that which is expressed through it, and it's a wonderful opportunity, worth continuing.

That said, there are plenty of others around to pick up the slack of building the future.

I did browse the site, but couldn't find in what way exactly the mechanism telemetry/faults get passed from microcontroller to their backend.

For the last products I have touched, this would probably be the toughest part- abstracting/reimplementing whatever mechanism the device is already using to communicate with something that may have internet access (USB, UART, Bluetooth, LoRa) and tying in that end (mobile/desktop/connected device).

I’m the exact same way. I look around and think “no way am I bringing offspring into this world.”

I heard a piece on NPR on Linux. I had played with Dos for Dummies and got my parents to buy a copy of Suse 5. After a harrowing 6 hour installation process on my parent's 33MHz 386, I needed the discard rescue floppy to recover the Windows boot.

I have a buddy - amicable, smart, did great in a tough school, did even better career wise, responsible for dozens of people, etc - who nevertheless explodes with anger and hatred and goes on 15-minutes tirades if someones brings up Musk in any positive light whatsoever. It is quite a shocking sight.

"Reaction" is the key word here. The opposite of a fanboy is not a hater, it is the person who doesn't care. The fanboy and the hater are two sides of the same coin - they both develop an obsession with a person and define their personalities as a function of this person. Whether that function is love or hate is secondary.

The way out of his is to ignore him, or judge him by his work. He sells cars - really good cars. For example, they have the best range and are incredibly safe. Your emotional reaction won't make you car's range go down, or make you any less safe in a crash.

Most people will not want to move to Mars, just as very few Europeans wanted to move to the New World in the 1500s.

However while relatively few people want to move to Mars, it is a large absolute number. For example a few years ago when Mars One called for volunteers for a one way trip to Mars, they got 200,000 people volunteering. Even filtering for people whose education and skills would make them useful, they had a large number.

One estimate that I saw said that a viable colony would require about 100,000 people to move over a century. And a person leaving Earth can reasonably spend their life savings to do so. The value proposition is essentially sell your house, use the money to move to Mars. SpaceX is planning to make the trip barely above cost. But don't forget. They will be landing on a planet where basic infrastructure, starting with energy, oxygen and tunnels, are provided by SpaceX. That's going to be billions per year. Of course it will be a long time before that colony is self-sustaining. But when it is, those infrastructure basics will be worth a lot.

As for a second contender, developing a rocket that can compete with SpaceX takes over a decade, and many billions of dollars. And then when you try to travel to Mars, you're going to be landing on a place where the infrastructure is owned by SpaceX. Musk is likely to welcome the competition...and charge top dollar for fuel for a return trip. So you'll have to invest billions more. And once you've done so, you'll be competing against an established competitor who is charging thin margins. And you still won't be in that lucrative infrastructure business.

As for who owns it legally...I believe that the people who live there will claim the land that they settle. And will create their own laws. They would mostly come from the USA where legal tradition resolves all property disputes in favor of squatter's rights. There will be room for all for a long time, but guess who the first and biggest squatters would be?

They probably could've learned Spanish to a degree of conversational fluency in the same time period, though. Esperanto has about 1,000 native speakers. Spanish has about 480 million. You can visit entire beautiful countries with fascinating histories where everyone speaks Spanish or its variants. Beyond that, once you can understand spoken Spanish, you can likely understand a bit of Portuguese as well, and you'll be able to learn French and Italian probably at least twice as fast coming from Spanish vs. coming from English.

I've always liked the idea of a low-gravity forge: mixing metals on Earth is difficult because the heavier metals separate from the lighter metals due to gravity. This wouldn't happen in low-gravity situations, so you can truly make "space metals" that cannot be manufactured on Earth.

However, this only calls for a LEO (low earth orbit) colony, not really a mars colony. Even then, shipping raw material up to LEO is still mindbogglingly expensive (let alone Mars). So no one has even attempted the experiment yet.

Being born in 1949, the aftermath of WWII, when the US experienced perhaps its starkest wealth increase on a national and personal level (think American Dream, green lawns, and white picket fences!) and the pathos was high to pursue such ideals, would have still been a boon. Yes one probably would have been drafted into Vietnam but in my view even the national conversation about that war was a healthy one for the country.
Note that "the government has to spend that money, so here are some ways that you can manage to afford to pay your taxes" is also an ideologically biased viewpoint. (It's the current default viewpoint, but it's still ideologically biased...)

> Arm and RISC-V are so similar that the compiler should take care of it.

But the compiler (openjdk in this case) still needs to be ported, no?

EDIT: I think we are talking about two different things. The Java compiler (which emits Java bytecode) should be ported for convenience but that is not necessary. The compiler which compiles the actual JVM into an executable doesn't need to be ported, but it does need to have support added for emitting riscv machine code.
The accepted answer fails to understand that the standard library is exempt from following the C standard and makes a number of false or overly prescriptive assertions. (It also doesn't answer the question, but that's par for the course on Stack Overflow…)
Intel has a huge variety of different models. They are experts in market segmentation. They could do that. But they won't, and there are few who could do that.
