Try to imagine a thing that's very personal to you, and secret. Imagine that you pour it out into some creative work, like a painting or a story, and you share that thing with the world. You feel anxious exposing yourself like this but also joyful, because you're finally telling everybody who you really are.

Now imagine that nobody sees any of the things you love about your work, and that all your anxieties are borne out. You are crazy, a freak, a slut, a pervert, an idiot. Delusional, more than anything. Nobody ever looks at you the same way again. You took the leap you desperately needed to take, and you fell on your face.

The older we get, the less we care what other people think, and some people probably literally cannot identify with this even if they scour the depths of their adolescent memories looking for an analog. I think it would be sad to be one of those people, but I guess maybe they're the lucky ones?
The modern style for shell commands on Windows is to name them exactly “Verb-Noun”, where neither “Verb” nor “Noun” have hyphens. If you are interested in what is possible, spend some time investigating the available nouns in whatever problem domain you are working with.
But isn’t it a bit hypocritical to first not vote, then complain about how things are paning out and then conclude that things in the hands of governments never work?

Democracy lives from everybody’s attendance — if you stay at home you got no right to complain.

Sadly even a strong faith in the invisible hand-shaped market-god doesn’t change that, because quasi monopolies like railway infrastructure and the invisible hand-shaped market-god never mix as well as promised for some weird reason.

There isn't. GP is confusing Taiwan and Tibet for Hong Kong/Macau. TW and Tibet are territories claimed by China whereas HK and Macau are indisputably Chinese cities but under a special arrangement which theoretically should give them more autonomy.

This can only become partly true if you're using a definition of "free" that's so broad, it becomes meaningless. Even then, we all live in societies that preclude us from choosing to do certain things. In the US, I can't buy anything from North Korea, for example.
> (Missing middle) is also, to use your phrasing, "shittier housing."

No, no it's not. I'm not advocating for luxury housing, just housing that meets the minimum requirements by regulation and law. Missing middle is advocating for real legal housing -- the kind that have sinks and bathrooms and bedrooms and such. (And as you already mentioned, they generally don't advocate for "SRO/tenements", presumably for this same reason).

> housing standards have steadily crept upwards for decades

No, no they haven't. The average new construction sizes have crept way up, you are correct. The housing standards -- the minimum legal standards required by law have actually crept downward slightly over the past 10 years, in most areas.

> This tradition lives on and is preserved in the form of college dorm rooms and military barracks.

Yes, and it's bad there too? I don't need to get us off-track, but college dorm living is not healthy nor sustainable.

> we need to lower our crazy high standards somewhere

This is simply not true. There are no "crazy high standards". This is not a real thing that has ever existed.

In San Francisco (as one example), I'm arguing that every human (regardless of income) is entitled to 220sqft of living space and a functional bathroom, that every housing unit should at least meet the bare minimum requirements of a "studio apartment" under relevant local and state law.

This is not some crazy high standard that is impossible for society to afford. This is a stupidly-low requirement, that we could easily provide every single citizen in the US, with very little effort. And we should be very wary of any attempts to lower this already-stupidly-low requirement any further down, because lowering those standards will not help anyone in need, but will only be weaponized against everyone else.

Hell, personal functional sinks and bathrooms are so cheap and easy to provide, we give them away for free to every violent criminal in prison. Surely everyone's housing quality should at least surpass a jail cell, right?

--

We don't need to revert to SROs / Tenements to house the homeless, we don't need to "lower" any "standards". The minimum regulations are perfectly fine and completely reasonable here. We just need to build these things via public funding, and give them to the people who want/need them.

We didn't "lower" our educational standards to teach school children. We didn't say "well, these regulations are too strict, I guess kids only need to learn to half-read and half-write". We just decided to offer real education to every child, automatically, and with no income restrictions or usage costs of any kind.

We could do the same exact thing with housing. We should do the same thing with housing.
In fact China proves that capitalism (of a "curated" kind), can be successfully decoupled from Western values. And capitalism has proven that Communism (of the CCP kind), cares more about authority over it's citizens than the democratic engagement of it's citizens (and by this, I'm implying that the bread-and-circuses of capitalism can be used as a lever to stifle dissent, through sufficient satisfaction of materialistic desires).

the thing is that stack exchange has managed to disrupt the old newsgroup/forum based way of helping newbies get into new languages/handle problematic issues in languages they are used to.

In some ways they have improved this old system because of their ability to bring relevant questions together in such a way that you can build up a pretty big view of your problem space.

In many ways they have worsened the old system, for example by deleting questions that did not have example code. As I have said here before when you are really stumped you might not be able to make any example code that does what you want.

However there is a similarity between the old and new system, people working for free because they love their languages (also maybe because it improves their profile in the language and allows them better consulting jobs, positions in the future)

In the old system if there were problems with how a mail-list or whatever solution was being run you would probably get something like this so it seems reasonable to me that people would do the same thing in the new system.

How do you know that? How many Chinese people have you talked with?
Americans can do more than boycott. Americans can use their votes to influence the league. The stadiums are here. Our politicians determine their taxes. The AAU is here. The NCAA too. If the Chinese think they have parity in power over our leagues, this is going to be a very useful object lesson in what's what.

I'm not saying that Monica was rude. I'm not even talking specifically about her, here.

I'm postulating the existence of a religious person who would (for example) refuse to use "he" for a biologically female person who identifies as male. But would instead use singular "they", or passive voice, to evade the issue. I'm not saying that they would insist on using "she". Just that they wouldn't use "he".

That might be her position, based on two meta threads.[0,1] But she doesn't actually say that. Others sort of say that, and she doesn't correct them. And certainly I may have missed her clear statement. But as I've said, I'm not claiming that to be her position.

So anyway, if someone actually did refuse to use declared gender, that would arguably be rude. Or at least, it would be perceived as rudeness, which is arguably what matters in communities.

what're you trying say, exactly? that people who get more satifaction from doing a job should be paid less?

if you want to start assigning a dollar value to subjective experiences like that, the argument goes both ways. you should pay more to people who experience more emotional distress from their jobs. but in that case a majority of companies would probably go bankrupt, since most people despise their jobs.
I think you have to qualify that blanket statement and give your definition of "merit".
I buy from China as part of my job and we usually either buy in Hong Kong dollars, US dollars or RMB and dump the RMB as soon as possible. One of the reasons that HK exists in its current form is to allow us to easily dump RMB.

Stick with "screw them". The other option plays straight into their The Art of War type strategy.

Thanks for your view. Since you wrote it in a nicer and more elaborate way, let me properly reply.

I think you (and the GP) got it wrong that what made me stop was having someone being rude to me on the internet. The lack of confidence is because I know that there were and there would be for a long time a lot of mistakes in my writing. And my blog is about writing of all things, which makes those mistakes worse. What affected my confidence was not that the commenter was rude, was that he/she was right

The comment about the word "certificated" was correct in its spirit. Even if there are arguments to say that it might a word and could be technically correct in some form, I did want to write "certified". I even edited my post.

I have noticed published mistakes myself and had private and much nicer feedback about other mistakes before. That was the confirmation that I actually do a larger number of mistakes than a native speaker.

The free blog is one of the things that I do and lacking the confidence that I could do it well enough, I decided to stop doing it and go for other things. I had several nice comments here that can make me reconsider my decision, including yours. As for GP, it was not helpful or correct, it was just arrogant and presumptuous.
As I understood it, Stack Exchange didn't say anything. They just fired her for asking.

Ask HN: Software Engineering,Money and Overcoming Guilt of Being Paid Too Much?
Recently I Completed my first Intern at a big-N ,it paid well rather paid more than what the work was worth.

Anyways I was at a conference recently in eastern europe and there were folks of my age(22) serving at the restaurant doing jobs like waitressing,doing the dishes etc. even at the airport I saw folks my age working more hours in the cargo loading department. At the hotel it felt wrong when the housekeeper(21 ish) came to do the sheets for me,or when at the restaurant the busboy(65 something) came to clear the dishes.

Suddenly the guilt of being paid too much hit me. It has been bothering me ever since. I noticed most of the people in central easter europe(cech rep) had simple smart phones etc.

Its just that i dont get why am i or anyone being paid so much for sitting in a air conditioned office,eating free stuff and writing bunch of things on a computer. Manual labor takes more toll on ones body.Pilots etc are paid well because the sleep depravation and physical toll their bodies take but sitting in a office.Idk at one point even communism/socialism(as someone who absolutely hated it at one point) made sense to me.
Even with our fake democracy, it's very common for people to buy votes from elderly people, who make up much of the population, and don't really understand democracy.

We have a lot of poverty here so it's very easy to buy votes by just hosting a dinner at a average restaurant, telling the people all the wonderful plans you have for HK then giving them a trinket to help them remember to vote for you.
by that argument everything is always "up the people". "well if they don't like $X they can always revolt."

revolt isn't a very flexible means of expressing the wills of the people.
That's what they want you to do, because they think they're special somehow. Best is just ignore, and hopefully their house of cards will collapse at some point by their own doing.

The above usage of -> is a syntax error in OCaml, -> can be used in the left hand side of a let expression, but only as part of a type expression. As you say the other usage is used to construct terms (clauses) that are used in pattern matching, of course Haskell does something similar.

The Rust syntax seems to emulate functional programming, but inconsistently since -> is not used purely as a type constructor or term constructor something like a mix of both in the defintion of functions, also it doesn't seem to support currying.
I suppose if your profile on StackOverflow is high enough you could put it on your cv.

SO also has a jobs site, which I suppose can be linked to your profile if you want it to.

A company I consulted at one time was trying to improve it's profile for job applicants so they wanted people to put up their github profiles and SO profiles in some advertisements or whatever they were doing - I think it was on linkedIn they were doing this. Anyway I think they stopped because nobody had a particularly high impressive number so why would you even want to do that (but they did it)
