My understanding of the question of "why want to be a billionaire" is that it ultimately comes down to the circles of people you associate with. You might own a small company and might take in $1 million in income a year. Great. Well if your friends are making $5 million a year and have X Y Z you might want to push yourself to get there. Imagine being friends with Jeff Bezos, you wouldn't really ever feel like you're successful enough. It's probably the worst for people born into being rich, because they get born into that world and get friends and family who are already bought into being at whatever that level is. And they have to either reject it or try and get there.
Very few people actually work with simply writing stuff in Word or using Excel, most office jobs actually require some other tools like accounting and media creation. Further, you can not even watch higer resolution than 720p Netflix on Chrome
The More Data the Better, Right?
FWIW, I did that once for an unrelated project and they ate the 1200 bill for a running EC2.

I dunno if they'd eat that cost again, and I wouldn't try it on purpose.

But keep in mind that they have an incentive to do this: it's the cost of acquiring users without scaring them about a possibly humongous bill.

I now have better billing alarms set.
There are no great secrets to the HW or vectorization. It’s mostly a question of willingness to devote resources to the problem and hire folks (e.g. Aart Bik, who literally wrote the book on vectorization at Intel and is now working on the TF compiler team at Google and contributing to LLVM).

I can partly understand some this based on an EE101-level control theory, a High School level model of how neurons work, and 3blue1brown's intro to neural nets[1]. However, I have a strong personal interest in developing a much deeper understanding of dopamine neurons and their role in Executive Function.

Can anyone recommend a good curriculum which can take a random web developer from "Knows what a myelinated axon, a sigmoid function, and a feedback loop are" to having a solid enough background to dive into the research on this?

One thing that I never understood about Eiffel is why, for all the focus on correctness, it has that gaping hole in its type system in form of catcalls (and IIRC there were also some implicit and not-always-safe variance assumptions for generics?).

I know that Meyer insists that covariant redefinitions are necessary to model the real world. But that's only true with Eiffel's inheritance model intermingling types and implementation! In OCaml, for example, subclasses of a class need not be subtypes; and if you want both subtyping and catcalls, then you parametrize the base class accordingly.
I have an eGPU and I find Geforce Now to be more convenient when I want to stream to TV, and when I don't want to reboot into Windows which is often. It's actually so convenient I often wonder if I could just use a Shield TV for PC gaming, the only downside is several of my favorite games are not yet playable on Geforce Now.

TN visas have reciprocity. Americans in those fields can also go and work freely in Canada. However, when you factor in the difference in compensation it makes sense that more Canadians move to the US than vice versa. Big tech companies opening offices in Canada may shift that balance. I know I'd rather live and work in Vancouver than San Francisco if I was being paid the same amount for both.
Are you talking about the US?

There is neither good cycling infrastructure nor enough schools. Also, are you expecting kids to walk or bike to school in inclement weather?

I don't follow what you're getting at. If there's no length field, it's going to stop scanning on the first null. If there is a length field, it will keep reading until the length is reached. That's the general contract with C APIs.

If you actually NEED strings with nulls in them (although I couldn't think of a reason why), you'll need to use/find/create APIs with length fields.
It's potentially worse than nothing because you can steal someone's sim card and then use that to reset their account password. This is because (as in almost every company that uses text messages for 2fa) you use the sms to authenticate the reset.
“Integrity and Perseverance in Business Ensure Success” (1853)
Note that a lot of Intel’s advantage in SIMD, historically, came from optimization modes that simply (unsafely) assume that there are no dependencies that would block vectorization (instead of doing the conservative analysis like GCC and Clang). It makes for impressive benchmarks, but is borderline-unusable in much real code.

Intel’s compiler team has actually suggested some patches adding the same mode to LLVM, though I’m not sure what the current status is, since the initial reaction was not overwhelmingly positive.

Study: Unemployment is sometimes associated with an increase in happiness
The same is true of nearly every state in the U.S. California, ironically, is one of the states where school districts aren't required to provide bus service to everyone. Apparently, it also varies by state in Australia: https://www.education.tas.gov.au/parents-carers/parent-fact-...

From the Department of Education in Tasmania:

> If your child’s school is not within walking distance, a bus service may be available. This may be free or it may be a fare-charging service. Contact your school to find out about the bus services available for your area.

And apparently even in New South Wales, the government coverage is not "100%" as you claim: https://apps.transport.nsw.gov.au/ssts/schoolDriveSubsidy#/s...

> The School Drive Subsidy is administered by Transport for NSW and is available to NSW residents in areas where there is no public transport, to drive an eligible student all or part of the way to school. The subsidy is only intended to partly offset the cost of using a private vehicle to drive the eligible student and is not intended to cover all costs.

The subsidy is about $0.70 per km, which defrays the cost of travel, but certainly won't pay for a private vehicle for people who don't already have one.
Cartoons are typically put in front of kids without any context. If you’re going to show them without cutting the stuff that was okay in the 1940s but won’t fly in the 2020s, then you had damn well better surround it with context, and mark it as something kids shouldn’t be watching by themselves. What’s a six year old kid now gonna know about the forties? Nothing, that’s what. They’re gonna see gags from a time when we were actively engaged in constructing negative stereotypes of the Axis powers and when second-hand caricatures of minstrel shows was the only way anyone knew how to draw black people and just assume that’s what those people are like.

I love the medium, I trained to work in it. I have watched a lot of old cartoons. There is some stunning work by masters of the form at the peak of their powers that is also incredibly racist by today’s standards; it’s worth preserving this work, but Cartoons Are For Kids, and if something needs context you have to scream about this to keep distracted parents from just putting it on for their kids.

In my opinion:

- Teams does not keep that much history on the computer and needs to go very early to the internet and retrieve more history (basically as soon as you start scrolling). Slack keeps quite much history on the computer.

- Teams does not support simultaneous logins. Need to switch to another account - log out and log in again! Slack supports that since quite some time.

- I‘m not actually sure whether Teams supports threads or not. If they do, that speaks for the UI (i didn‘t find it then). If they don‘t, it‘s a feature I love in Slack.

- Generally I think Teams can do quite a lot ot of stuff but everything needs a bit more clicks than Slack. Channels are hidden behind „Chats“ rather than having a shortcut, ...
How many dead billionaires from the last century do you remember and can name without googling?

If it's just the feeling of being remembered for something then there are lots of other things you can do to make people remember you. Nobody remembers the rich merchants from 2000 or 3000 years ago but people still remember the conquerors who changed maps and the artists of those days whose works have been immortalized. Whether you like it or not, someone like Hitler or Tolkien will be more likely to be remembered than someone like Gates and no, Hitler won't still be considered as an irredeemable monster then, just like how people don't get offended by the conquests and massacres by Genghis or Napoleon unless for nationalistic/jingoistic reasons.

Org is great because it's plain text, but at the same time offers outlining, timestamps, tables, links and lots of other features. Following Emacs tradition, it doesn't impose any workflow on you. It just gives you some primitives to build the system you want.

A great feature of Org are programmatic views of your data, possibly from many files at the same time. Some are already implemented, but still customizable, like Org Agenda. I use Org Agenda to have a Kanban-like view of my projects. I can simply see all WIP tasks, approaching deadlines and events in a little plain text window.

That's, I think, the minimum viable productivity system. You have a list of projects with tasks, some deadlines, some events and some inbox. You select a few tasks to do every day, like Ivy Lee suggested, and you do them. You want to see these plus deadlines and scheduled events which can be easily achieved with Org Agenda.

A GTD-like system would tag tasks with contexts, and offer some context-specific views, but I find that's too much work. Another pitfall of GTD, in my opinion, is that it doesn't encourage WIP limits which eventually makes it overwhelming.

I credit GTD with popularizing the need for an inbox, the task-centric view to time management, and the distinction between tasks, tasks with deadlines and events. But I think GTD leads to too much planning waste, projects broken into tasks that get constantly outdated.
tl;dr

If you have anxiety:

1. Start to take action even if you will “do it badly”.

2. Defer worrying until later.

3. Helping others can help take your thoughts away from own problems.

I guess I am blessed in not being troubled by much anxiety.
For those who are I don't know how useful that advice is.
I have a basic question partly related to the project. When a markup can be compiled so fast, what's the fundamental reason we don't have WSYIWYG software that saves in the markup format as the norm.
Gnu C++ compiler was around but wasn't that good, it produced slow binaries and was slow with new features eg didn't have templates for a long time. Usually you had to use the compiler that came with your flavor of Unix which was usually free (then later they started charging for that too). Borland and MS Visual C++ were popular on Windows and just a few hundred dollars.
Probably. But the whole thing is, I don't want every service to use my mobile number to track me as I register for my grocery card frequent customer (10 cents of lettuce), I want that to be anonymous. Instead it's not, they must be centralizing that. I want something like a virtual sms provider on my phone that (1) protects my privacy (ha), (2) hands out virtual sms numbers for services. It knows that at say costco I'm sms number 1234, and at safeway I'm sms number 456. I use the app on my phone to manage this. Another user on this service gets a different number at safeway than I do (but it's unique for them). Because there aren't an infinite number of these, the numbers the service has get randomly shared among the users. So someone else would eventually get 456 for a service that use, but it's not "me".

Jon Stewart disagrees with that theory:

Stewart says the name change has still invited criticism from people who think he made the switch to mask his Jewish background. "People always view it through the prism of ethnic identity," he said. "I hate myself for a lot of reasons, but not because I'm Jewish."

There are simpler explanations at hand for stage names, such as being easier to spell, remember and pronounce. In the case of Louis, "C.K." is approximately the English pronunciation of his last name.

And there tend to be specific motivations. Tim Allen's case is apparent enough. Larry and Rodney wanted stage names to reflect a character. Dangerfield for a guy that never gets a break.

In the case of Jon, he wanted to distance himself from his father.

Mel Brooks: "During his teens, Melvyn Kaminsky officially changed his name to Mel Brooks, influenced by his mother's maiden name Brookman, after being confused with the trumpeter Max Kaminsky."

Jamie Foxx: "When he found that female comedians were often called first to perform, he changed his name to Jamie Foxx, feeling that it was a name ambiguous enough to disallow any biases. He chose his surname as a tribute to the black comedian Redd Foxx."
After many years of visiting Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and Montreal yearly, for more than a week at a time..

Toronto is not perfect, it has some of the worst weather in Canada. Summers are too hot (due to humidity), and the winter is cold and windy (due to humidity).

It’s not much different than most places in Canada but the lakes add a bite to the -15 to make it feel like the rest of the country (save Vancouver). The rain is brutal in Vancouver, but can keep you busy like cold does in the rest of Canada. Canada’s winter months are synonymous with precipitation, and you might be surprised to find where the most sunshine is.

Most of my friends from Toronto rarely or meaningfully ever leave Toronto to have an informed opinion of all 4 seasons nationally.

Commuting time takes away years of waking living time in GTA and GVRC unless you live downtown, except many startups are leaving downtown for affordability and keeping their people happy. All of this can be balanced away if you get other things that are worth it, including market size relative to Canada.

There are a few entrepreneurial pockets like Waterloo, and even Kelowna that are worth paying attention to. I don’t live in any cities listed here but travel often instead.

One of my few very good teachers in school highlighted that people learn differently - some people by reading, others doing and others again watching. I'm most definitely somewhere between the last two. I find that for me watching high quality tutorials (pluralsight, CBTNuggets, etc) at 1.5-2x speed is a very good way to get introduced into a language particularly when I seed a solid foundational understanding rather than knowing exactly how to add an additional command into npm run, etc.

I've been working to overcome burnout that took me out of the game a year ago. What it basically came down to is that midlife crisis feelings had come to dominate my psyche. I found myself asking "what's the point?" about basic tasks that must be done.

The start of a cure turned out to be separating a task into writing the todo list for it and then doing it afterwards. The next evolution of that is to also separate your evaluation of the work from the work itself, so that you don't wallow in critical feelings as you work. Try to be zenful and just concentrate on the now.

Basically it all comes down to anxiety management. So for example, say you are cleaning and you get a text message to deal with an issue. I normally would make a mental note to remember to do it, since I lean towards intellectual pursuits. But it's better to add the item to the top of your todo list and stop thinking about it or the fear of forgetting it. Better yet, pause cleaning (since it's low-priority) and deal with the issue immediately.

I've found that mechanizing the thought processes that I had taken for granted until they failed me boosted my mood. If you think of it as a scale from 0 to 10, our default with stress is to hover below a 5 (say 3). It takes effort to get above 5. But there is a stable orbit around 7 if you can maintain it for a few weeks. I think this is why people with a positive disposition have so much difficulty understanding people with anxiety, because physically they actually feel similar, it's just that our subjective interpretation of them are different:

Edit: the above is a TED talk about changing this subjective reaction to stress.

Brad Pitt in fight club is like the canonical example of non-bodybuilders talking about a good physique, but there are a lot of reasons it's not realistic.

He has a good face, and is famous, so that makes him look a lot better at a given size. The lighting is done to accentuate how big he is + he has some sort of film over his skin to make himself shinier. And he's also very lean which is not pleasant to maintain for long periods of time for most men. It's comparable to what a smaller person would look like if they were competing at a bodybuilding competition.
> it was easier back then to get it right

I haven't seen a statement this wrong since someone last said they like Internet Explorer 6.

Web design back in those days (around 2000-2005, say) was terribly frustrating. Getting, for example, such a column layout to work across browsers involved either tables or a thousands tricks to get it working in CSS, in more than one browser. And those were the times we still believed in semantic markup, making frivolous tables and divs almost sacrilegious.

Today, it isn't uncommon for a website developed on, say, Firefox to flawlessly work in Safari and Chrome as well. Back then, you were about halfway done when it worked in one browser, because the other one needed different set of abominable tricks for its different set of bugs and inconsistencies.

Expectations also weren't quite as low as you make them out: All the cool kids did Java applets or Flash, two very annoying plugins, non-free binary blobs hiding their code and content from the world, but occasionally letting anyone who sends the right handshake remote-control your browser.
Have you tried alternatives like stadia and gefore now? I'm curious to hear your thoughts. I have a gaming pc with a 4770k and a 1080ti.

Yes, the number of messages is the same. For small messages, per-message overhead may swamp the benefit of compression.

But where do you draw the line? I'm not going to read Mein Kampf looking for constructive ideas. Why? Because Hitler's position is so destructive that trying to untangle constructive ideas from the destructive seems like a fool's errand. (Also dangerous - I don't want to miss some of the destructiveness and incorporate it into my thinking.)

So the question is, did the Unabomber have good ideas, but follow them to bad conclusions? Or is the destructiveness more pervasive in his writing?

For me, the destructiveness was too vivid and too personal.
The stuff Deitch did in Prague was all above-board with respect to IP ownership. The secret was just that it was made in Czechoslovakia instead of the US.
