> The entire point of bookmarks is “maybe I’ll come back later to this”

I think for me there is so much information coming at me every day, that I rarely have time to go back to something later. I bookmark a select number of sites for projects/interests I am working on but I couldn't deal with having ~5k worth of bookmarks in my backlog. I just don't have time for managing/triaging/reviewing that.

My comment about FOMO addresses the fear of 'what if I can't find this stuff again'. It's more akin to a hoarding mentality, I suppose. How many people's garages are full of junk they 'think they might come back to later'. It's something I actively eschew because if I allow that thought process to enter into my life I'll be hindered by the activity, and the ability to let go is important to my happiness and wellbeing. I literally can't sleep at night if I think that I might missed out on archiving something I might need. I find it enlightening to treat the world as ephemeral.

I freely admit different people work/think/live in different ways and perhaps my original comment was a little flippant.
Not sure about now, but I was a musician with a variety of instruments for about a decade in my youth. In my experience, private instruction was always locally advertised. For instance, I had lessons on oboe, violin and piano. The piano teacher was a friend of my mothers, oboe and violin I had a class at school where the instructor suggested where to get tutors, typically either former students in the local orchestra or students at the local college music program.
To me, an app would have to improve upon this relatively convenient method of finding instructors. Typically these instructors come with the implicit approval of a trusted person as well.
There is a difference between being a slave i.e. being owned and being a "wage slave" i.e. operating under significant coercion. We are all coerced to some degree; that's part of being an organism (coerced by nature) and living in a society (coerced by the crushing weight of social interactions). But we aren't owned.

Though it's not your intention, this blurring of categories justifies real slavery. If everyone is a slave then no one is a slave. If "bourgeois freedom" is an illusion then every kind of repression can be justified by the claim that it will bring about "real freedom".

Actually, the freedoms that we have are real and they matter.
Thanks, I'll go through the docs and build a few toy apps over the weekend.

If you're experienced in Rust, what problem spaces are associated with Rust stacks?
When I was in undergrad taking Data Structures and Algorithms, the course was in C (or C++, I don't remember). But by that time I had already started programming GUIs in Windows (MFC days). It was actually really nice to wire up the base classes and operations for a data structure (push/pop/etc...) and then be able to see the operations working with a GUI. At the time, it was really cool to be able to click a "pop" button and see the head of a queue get removed.

It was even better to visually see various sort algorithms in motion.

So, really, I could see the appeal for that kind of teaching... but I still don't understand using Delphi/Pascal.

(Our first CS class was actually taught with Pascal and that was painful)
I am hoping this is just an introductory set, and if the demand is there they would make a bigger one. I am with you. I want a detailed set. 3000+ pieces
Corporate "slaves" are some of the best paid in history. I'm sure the "model" figured out that if their labor is generally wealthier, it is far more productive and profitable.
It just goes to show the priorities of the electorate. If one assumes people vote in their own best interest, the question then becomes, what are they interested in? Maybe not the physical health of themselves or their children...
I'm not even talking about big O or algorithms & data structures.
I'm talking about the basic concepts of function, iteration, abstraction, indirection etc.
I'm not sure what to tell you, except to try to emphasise to you that understanding what other people think (or arguing for the things they might think as a rhetorical device) doesn't "imply" that that is what is right. I don't presume to tell other people that they are flat wrong and they need to think something else and I would appreciate it if you could extend me the same courtesy.
In your view, what happens to the people when business and capital fail?
I'm leaning towards Go, it seems like a good move over Python or Rust for me personally. I might be bias because a lot of the JS jobs I have been interviewing for have been using Go.
I just don't shop at stores that do that. I'd gladly pay an extra few dollars once and know to avoid a store than spend time filling out a form.

In my area, I have three close options (within 2 miles), all of which have cards, but only one requires the card to get discounts. The other two offer discounts once you rack up enough points (every X points save $Y dollars) and allow you to "attach" discounts through their online portal to your card, which are separate from the discounts in their mailers and on the shelves. I alternate cards periodically (credit card rotating bonus categories, putting spend on rarely used cards to prevent them from being closed, etc), and I alternate stores, so I doubt they're able to track me well at all.

Other than that, I shop at Costco, which obviously records all of my purchases. I buy mostly staples, so my data is probably not as interesting as someone who spends more (my spending barely makes "Executive" worth it).

Same, but I'm really fast at typing numbers without a numpad. I find moving my hand to a separate location just for numbers is a lot slower. Imo most people that could learn to type numbers quickly without a numpad as well. I wonder what the mechanics of some people typing faster on a numpad are, like how does the layout help over having them aligned in a row? Maybe there's less overlap when moving fingers?

Only if you're losing money on your cryptocurrency trades... in which case it's probably better to stay in the U.S. Dollar and tape off your trading finger. If your cryptocurrencies finally turn positive after you've harvested your losses then you'll owe it all back in taxes. If your trades never go south, then you'll be better off with tax-free gains.

I don't think crowd-funded organizations will totally replace the government, I do think they will start taking action where the government has failed or enables the bad actors.

Pretty sure that would be the physically largest retail set ever sold if they did the minifig scale of 1:45 (ish) [0]. Looks like they might be making it roughly microfig scale judging by the scale of the included microfigs vs the rest. I'd rather maybe double the current size for more detail and chances for little greeble details but this size does make it easy to justify even with my current set backlog.

[0] It's a little messy because minifigs are quite squat and wide compared to their height.

Boy, what a body of work. Would love to hear your take on Seq if you get a chance to dig in more. I come from more of a Python background and really like what I see:

- Python syntax for the most part
- Mypy style type annotations
- |> for pipelining and ||> to parallelize
- match constructs (ML-ish with guards)
- s'ACGT' and k'ACGT' for sequences and k-mers

It's relatively early in the project but I think the choices they have made give them a chance to continue to build momentum.

In the UK during the nineties we had old versions of Delphi distributed on magazine covers. Magazines then carried numerous tutorials over the years that helped people get started on their programming careers when school computing courses had lost their way with a focus on IT. Computing in schools in the UK with the BBC Micro had been much more useful as a basis for learning programming, something Eben Upton called out in his Raspberry PI keynote at PyCon a number of years ago.

I recall discussions with other students in my first year of uni about how they learned to program real things for family and businesses with these tools. Native and efficient Win16 and later Win32 (compared to VB runtime) programs were an exciting proposition in the 90s. Delphi could be used to create things that weren't as viable with VB. Personally, I chose C++ Builder for some reason (probably because I had heard about the industry use of C++), but even it had interesting facets, like the VCL compatibility with the Delphi toolset.

On page 5 they show a nice graph that breaks it down in a less "click baity" headline. Can you guess the top 3 jobs NOBODY wants?

If your guess was retail, catering/food, administrative; you would be correct. The reason nobody aspires to be in these jobs is the pay is garbage. Weird ones like logistics sticks out, however that seems more like a role you work your way into or know someone more than something you can just get right out of college kind of like middle management.

Overall this doesn't seem like anything out of the ordinary for most kids who are fed the "follow your dreams" malarkey and don't have parents who know know someone who can get them into a legitimate career.

One of the main selling point when they introduced ads was that they would be clearly marked as such. The ads were on the side so that they couldn't be confused with the search results.

This is correct, the few dependencies you would use would need to also target very specific versions to achieve the same.

As someone who has started programming at age 8, I find Scratch inadequate. It may teach kids how to code, but it doesn't teach coding.
