The situation in EU may be different than in the US. We also have the age issue, but I think the age is a red herring. People in tech change jobs so often that nobody is hiring for lifetime employment anymore. The best people leave in 2 to 3 years, because they get bored, get better opportunities, get poached, etc. So at 45 this shouldn't be an issue at all. But it is.
I think that with age people become more aware of nonsense and are more reluctant to work ridiculous number of hours per week. And this awareness is highly correlated with age, the end result is the same.

> but it's a fair amount of boilerplate or macros to make the newtype useful.

As mentioned in the docs, you can use the Deref facility to have the newtype implement everything that the original type does. Rust just gives you the choice of doing this vs. wrapping with a custom set of impls.
If we assume the character was modified to fit the actor who was chosen for the role, then why change him from Pakistani to Indian? Dinesh’s actor, Kumail Nanjiani, even made a popular (and good) movie related to Pakistani culture in contemporary times: The Big Sick.

It’s a bit of a stretch to think that the show creators chose Kumail because he was Pakistani rather than Indian. He’s a talented comedian and, at the time, unknown. The showrunners were smart to pick him up.
I equally love and hate the power of those empty boxes. I use a workout tracker that does the same, however it's not advised to be working out every single day, yet I feel myself going to the gym because I want to see those boxes filled.
The difference lies in the definition of `EllipticK` which uses quantity `k` whereas the paper uses `k^2`. Also, symbolically integrating in Mathematica is much slower. Instead use `NIntegrate` to skip straight to a numerical value.

Print[
NIntegrate[
1/(1 - Cos[x] Cos[y] Cos[z]), {x, 0, Pi}, {y, 0, Pi}, {z, 0, Pi},
Method -> "LocalAdaptive"] / Pi^3 // Timing]

{0.121543, 1.3932012917627028}

Print[
NIntegrate[
Pi Csc[x/2]^2 EllipticK[-Cos[x] Csc[x/2]^4], {x, 0, Pi}] / Pi^3 // Timing]

{0.021917, 1.3932039076998044}

Print[
Gamma[1/4]^4 / (4 Pi^3) // N // Timing]

{0.000029, 1.3932039296856769}

Print[
4 / Pi^2 EllipticK[1/2]^2 // N // Timing]

{0.000375, 1.3932039296856764}

For `NIntegrate` the default method is `GlobalAdaptive`. You can try different methods and rules to optimize for the function and bounds.

Correction: there is actually a rather strong correlation [0].

Of course it is not a perfect correlation and a lot depends on other factors like luck or hard work. So out of a billion people you can always point to millions who are outliers.

Because even small sites I launched have easily 10s of 1000s of users and some have had millions => I cannot see this pricing work at all on any of those without me closing the doors (having margins that are just too small or just making losses) vs making a really good living.
A non-native speaker here - what does "debacletacular" mean? The word only has a few hits on Google. I understand it's a neologism of sorts, a conflation, but what's the meaning?

> Before the book came out, a series of articles about Smalltalk-80 were published in the August 1981 issue of Byte magazine.

Smalltalk-76 was the first version that mostly (besides "one metaclass per class" and "blocks with arguments") corresponds to what we understand by Smalltalk today. It was developed by Ingalls and published already in 1978, see https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/512760.512762. This was the earliest publication about Smalltalk as far as I know.

The problem with Python is that it’s really hard to distribute a Python app to users. Nothing beats Go’s ability to compile into a self-contained binary.

Python is also slow and has poor support for parallelism.

Finally, “Python is simple” only really applies to its syntax. Overall, Go is a significantly simpler language than Python.
Another meta skill is to decide when to use which type of reading. You have to do both the free-association, daydreaming, thinking-outside the-box, connecting-the-dots, aha-moment style but also the practical get-things-done down-to-earth concentrated reading.

For some reason the latter style has been difficult for me outside of exam prep. So when people say college is just a prestige scam, the exams are bollocks and pointless, I always remember how it at least got me to sit on my ass and crunch through the material in a focused way. Pretending is not enough. Learn it out of passion and enjoyment but solidify it with the boring exam-style stragtey is best. The latter without the former is rote memorization that many college students mistakenly equate with simply "studying" and it leads to the issue of not being able to use it outside a course context or quiz type scenarios.

> If you're living through hard times, it's natural to exhibit symptoms of depression for a week, a month, or two.

Absolutely! But that's also not what I'd suggest medication for (well, maybe I'd suggest recreational drugs, but not anti-depressants), because it's not depression.

In my opinion, there's quite the difference between depression on the one side and feeling overpowered and broken because of external circumstances on the other, and I wouldn't suggest trying to fix the latter by pretending it's the former and medicating accordingly.

It's hard to tell the two apart from your own perspective, especially because they can both be true, you can be depressed and go through shitty times at the same time. At the very least if it does persist, don't settle for "my life is just shit, this is just a normal reaction to that shit", go see a doctor. And at the absolute very least, if friends suggest that it may be depression, consider that they may have a better view of you-six-months-ago vs you-today, because they don't see you every second of every day.

Depression clouds your judgement, and in my opinion, you're not gaining anything from suffering through it. It's not a great challenge that's been put in your way and when you finally beat it, you're a stronger person. In retrospect, at least for me, but some friends have shared similar opinions with me, it's just time you've lost, where you cannot remember anything from other than feeling terrible, thinking about suicide, possibly harming yourself and silently hoping that a bus will jump out from nowhere and end your suffering. There's no medal at the end, having gone through it once does not make you immune, and it can take years to get better, and maybe you never do.

I don't know whether I would've listened to anyone if they had told me to go see a doctor, but I wish somebody would've tried, and I hadn't spent the better part of my twenties just suffering for no reason. I'm diagnosed as bi-polar, but with much less pronounced manias, and now when I sense that I'm sliding down, I'm very active about stopping that slide, and if it doesn't stop quickly, I've made it a habit to go see a doctor before I think I need to, because I've learned that I might not be able to make that call if I'm past a certain point.

What problems you are facing in managing business calls remotely?
I feel like what isn't really properly understood in these situations is the statistical chances that are involved here. 10 people put $50 on the roulette table, and then we celebrate the guy who hit their number. That genius who hit their number still had a negative expected value when placing that bet. Colette Martin would've been right to criticize Reed Hastings if he were making that bet with Netflix's money. But we don't read articles about the CEOs who make bad bets and lose them, and we don't really know if the CEOs who won made good bets or bad bets.

It's possible the richest CEOs are actually the worst at picking bets, because they're the ones who picked bets that were the least likely to pay off, and therefore got the biggest pay out when they won. If 50 people were making the same bet as Reed Hastings, then Netflix would've found it far harder to succeed, since they would've been competing for talent, content and customers with 50 other companies. The reason Netflix exploded in growth is partly because they were the only ones serving that market. Maybe that was a genius stroke of insight, or maybe he was one of a thousand people making bad bets, and he's the one that it paid off for.

Not patronising at all. Also did not provide any info viz.

2. I asked a question about whether different ethnicities are treated differently in chinese law. You avoided answering.

3. I gave an example of greater freedom under UK & US law. You have not acknowledged this presumably because it is inconveniently true.

4. I asked in good faith for some reading material on whatever was about Xinjiang. You have not provided this.

If I am "completely invested in strong opinions" then change my mind with facts. It was a worthless and pretty patronising reply. Provide relevant facts.

>> I mean, Reed Hastings did manage to build this rather large and successful business that killed off one of the most successful retail operations of its day. It's possible that he just sort of did this by accident. But is this really the most likely explanation?

It's possible, yes. And if we consider that there were possibly a few thousand people at that time trying to make that business work, then "by accident" does start to look like the best explanation.

Was/is he smarter than everyone else trying to do the same thing? Probably not.

Was/is he better connected, better funded, more able to run a business, than the others? Possibly, but probably not.

Was/is he luckier than everyone else? Almost by definition, if we define "luck" as "something that helps people succeed".

It's a very nebulous definition. But there's definitely a Venn diagram overlap of "by accident" and "by being very lucky". Even without getting to FedEx levels of "lucky", there is definite "luck" involved in making decisions based on incomplete information that will turn out to have outsize effects on the business later. This is a normal activity for startup founders, and I'll bet serious money that more than a few of them were made in Netflix' early years.

We always underestimate survivor bias when considering successful startup stories. And without studying the other people who were trying to build the same business at the same time, we have no idea why some of them succeeded and others failed. Without this information, it's impossible to say whether Netflix succeeded "by accident" or by design.
