I can relate to much of what you're saying. This seems to be the common trapping of modern society - everyone must be happy and care about the same things. I'm not professionally qualified on the subject, but my vote is embrace it - but also try to understand it.

For instance, find a therapist to talk with. Don't feel like you need to settle for the first one you find, find one that feels right to you. It could be that there are deep rooted thoughts or emotions that actually are unhealthy that you may want to get to the bottom of. The goal here isn't change, it's understanding... and through understanding, determine if there's anything you'd like to change or even embrace. For example, I tend to focus on the negatives and everything wrong with the world. I realized I picked these behaviors up from my mother which not only allows me to be more aware of my behavior, but also helps me gently guide conversations with her away from being so negative and help her find positive things in her life.

Psychedelics often come up in these conversations, as well. I know many people whom see their experiences with psychedelics as turning points for them. There's plenty out research out there on the subject that I won't rehash here. If you choose to go down this route, I'd suggest doing your own research and if it seems like something you'd like to try do so in a safe place with one or more persons you feel safe around. Preferably, have an experienced "guide" there with you.

Lastly, I've been digging into the subject of gratitude for awhile now - both giving and receiving. There's a lot of research indicating it can be quite powerful. I tend to focus on the negative and everything that's wrong with the world (or my job, or my partner). Sometimes, just setting aside time to stop and think about something or someone you're grateful for (and especially communicating that) can do wonders. This isn't about not having or getting rid of pessimistic thoughts - it's about finding conscious space for appreciation, which can help balance things out or just help find some sparks of joy that might otherwise get drowned out by the negativity.

We're all on our own journey. Embrace who you are and try to take in the sights along the way.
You're confusing foreign policy and domestic policy.

FDR was horrific on foreign policy and had his problems at home, but he understood with the Great Depression at least that some serious economic steps had to be taken in favor of your average worker for the system "as is" to survive.

Right now, the U.S. is "number #1" at handling COVID 19 the absolute worst and still calling Medicare for All a crazy idea, even in the middle of a pandemic, while apparently Biden, a proven right-leaning centrist as somehow being a socialist.

Crazy watching this unfold.
Even a first line manager can fire? are there no hr processes
I'm interested. When you mention activity do you mean something like "total active engagement on a post" or "how active is one particular user relative to others". Also is it your intention to maintain fully anonymous participation with or without moderation? Also one thing I think could be a cool feature would be a reddit style "subreddits" but created by users who then collectively decide what it's going to be about by their participation. Good work.
A few years ago, i used to get youtube recommendations based only on the video i was watching at the time, and it was awesome! I could discover new videos/songs related to the video i was watching much more easily.

Lately, most/all of the recommendations are based globally on every video i've ever watched, so the recommendations are almost the same no matter what video i watch, so it's tougher to discover new things. For some reason, it insists on constantly recommending videos i have watched before, which is annoying. Maybe it's because i use youtube as a music player often and i do repeat videos. It is amazing for video game OSTs, which i enjoy and are hard to find anywhere else.

I could certainly see how this could lead people into isolated thought bubbles, especially with how the algorithm is lately compared to a few years ago, it has happened with myself to some extent.
I would also add that it's important to always be communicating with your manager and building that trust. You need to make sure that their initial reaction to any negative hearsay should be that the other party is then in fact bad and uninformed.

Maybe it helps people to think of their manager/work as being analogous to a startup product? You build an awesome product, but then spend zero budget on sales and marketing, and are then super-sad that you're not magically growing up and to the right.
So then what was the behavior after the bad manager was let go? Did they actually reach out to those who were let go? The toxic effects of bad managers is way larger than ICs.

Unless you're referring to something else, I think you misunderstood the quote from the article. These companies suspended response to _government requests for user data_ in Hong Kong, not the accounts of Hong Kong protestors. That is, they are refusing to hand information to the CCP. Barr is actually praising this action and saying they should unite to resist in more ways.

That probably explains the healthy number of active developers for this project:

Based on my simple analytics that looks at the time between a contributors first and last commit, I'm getting 50 active contributors, which matches up with many of the other popular open source projects I've indexed.
I imagine it depends on your socioeconomic status. If you are working night shift 60 hours a week at a mindless sedentary factory job, you're probably more biologically suited to a hunter gatherer lifestyle. Although to be fair, agriculture is much older than 1,000 years. I actually think the vast majority of people are not able to live a life better-suited to them than that of hunter gatherers.
Thing is, two points:

1) You can pay for plenty of shit, but you can't pay for human feeling.

2) A tiny fraction of that money ends up in the pockets of people actually providing care - most of it ends up with pharma, device manufacturers, PBMs, and other middle-men. You can expect whatever great service you want for your money, but it doesn't work when that money isn't going to the people providing the service.
the question is - how much of that "reason" is protectionism (patents, etc)?

if you no longer care about pissing off the US and EU (because they're up in your business anyway) then maybe it doesn't matter so much if you violate those patents.

Same thing as with Taiwan's "special trade status", Trump thinks that revoking their status will get China to leave them alone, because he has a very simplistic bullying-oriented view of international politics, but it's widely predicted to have the exact opposite effect as intended and lock in PRC control. Or trying to bully Iran with further sanctions even though they're already in compliance with treaties.

The approach is "carrot and stick", if you only use the stick then you provide no incentive for future compliance, people realize it's more effective to just start preparing for the inevitable future beatings and set yourself up to mitigate as much of the pain as possible.

This often leads to countries building up their own domestic industry to make themselves impervious to sanctions - that's how it's worked with Iran, after 50 years of sanctions they are more independent and less susceptible to the effects of sanctions than ever. That's how it's working with China, this is far from the first thing we've tried to choke off, there was the spat with memory too and they just ended up building their own plants.

And it often leads to further "escalation" and violation of norms. If you're going to get shit on anyway, why would they respect ASML's intellectual property?
Is there mobility so people can leave bad managers and move to other teams easily (i.e., vote with their feet) rather than being stuck under bad managers and getting screwed this way?
That is already covered under libel laws but it calls for it to be untrue and malicious. A negative opinion is protected along with statements of facts.

Otherwise you have such absurdities as being able to sue for a bad review for "loss of profits". That is why the law doesn't try to protect them. Expecting to be able to sue just for damages sounds like the sort of thing which gets your country's judgements libel ruled unenforcible under libel shopping laws after a history of abuse.
ah, I misread read that :) thanks
The Rust memory model is deviating from it a little in order to enable some norestrict-based optimizations that aren't really done for C, even though (as you know) LLVM can't really take advantage of them yet.
All they can do (bar actual war) is make other countries worse. It's pretty sad, "if we can't be better than them, then we'll make them worse off than us" is a terrible strategy for the world.
Can you share what you did not like about the app? I would love to know what the users don't like so we can work on those areas.
They aren't unforgiving, because if you need performance you can use another function that does not do the check. Same as for arrays.

It seems strange to have a cast as a safe operation and yet return results that are almost surely a bug. This means I will avoid casts altogether in my code, and I do hope they get rid of them at some point as some have suggested.
do you find it kinda scary that you can hate a regime so much given that you've never been to said country?

"I suspect that many people in Ireland think... 'Why is there a company that pays 0.05% in taxes?' I pay more taxes than Apple, for that matter. Many people pay more taxes."

Does this guy pay nonzero tax in Ireland at all?

Would he pay more tax than Apple if he resided in Ireland?

Or is he just saying that he pays more personal tax than Apple somewhere on the planet (such as, oh, in the Netherlands) and therefore Apple should pay at least that much in Ireland?
But is 4chan an inevitable product of its structure, or of its originating culture? Back when it was the next big thing, I worked with a social bookmarking startup. Weirdly, our site was colonized by a sizable group of Harry Potter fan fiction writers, and they became the dominant group on the site. If 4chan had started out with a different seed group of contributors, it might well be a very, very different place.

I’m not sure how that invalidates the point. If companies like Apple are going to declare themselves defenders of privacy in America, and then turn around and give China what it wants in order for access to their markets, then they have indeed become pawns.
Also, that's just the server project. There are also clients like the mobile app and the terminal app, which have a whole new set of active contributors.
There's a notch in the slot that can be changed.
Yeah, that’s exactly what happens. People make bad choices, and we care because innocents like children suffer.

We have the programs we have now because giving away cash didn’t work. Recipients drank it away and landlords gouged them.

A program like Section 8 for housing balances those issues — the landlord gets paid on time every month, but is on the hook for a minimum standard of maintenance and livability. That’s why we don’t have children in tenements anymore.

Every once in awhile politicians and academics who know everything show up with a magic wand. UBI is no different.
The social critic and mathematician Ted Kaczynski said, "The concept of 'mental health' in our society is defined largely by the extent to which an individual behaves in accord with the needs of the system and does so without showing signs of stress ... Instead of removing the conditions that make people depressed, modern society gives them antidepressant drugs. In effect, antidepressants are a means of modifying an individual’s internal state in such a way as to enable him to tolerate social conditions that he would otherwise find intolerable ... Without the entertainment industry the system probably would not have been able to get away with putting as much stress-producing pressure on us as it does."

The entire concept of "boredom" to him is a state of unease brought on by the modern working lifestyle. "Depression" is really a healthy, normal response to horrible conditions that we've adjusted to, like a fish that doesn't realize he's surrounded by water.
Can we please deprecate the "as" operator?

The specific concern here is cultural manipulation by the CCP with far-future-looking roadmaps to undermine and dominate their economic rivals.

For example, Disney as a Yuan-focused propaganda engine for CCP values cannot produce a remake of Robin Hood, which is a strongly indvidualistic narrative.

Driving a generation of strongly "powerful, central government is the best way to solve problems" values to children and young people paves they way for teens and twentysomethings to adopt CCP-sympathetic narratives in media and social media.

FYI, if you stand up two false straw men, you look like a collaborator with the CCP. <joke> You communist. </joke>
> The point was to discuss how Reddit, Hacker News, and other message boards utilizing pseudonymous voting are not monopolized by brands, celebrities, and businesses in the same way that Twitter and Facebook are.

How much of that is simply due to the nature of the product?

Reddit would very much like to have the brands, celebrities, and businesses, and influenced their change to allow users to post to their own profile pages.
Nullability built into the type system like Kotlin. one main difference between kotlin optionals and swift options (for example) is that Kotlin nullability is enforced during compile time.

I'm not aware of many languages which do that other than Kotlin.
I have always been a happy and optimistic person.

But I do very often wonder if and what is the objective purpose of life, and having thought of it for a long time, I came to the conclusion that there are no such objective purpose.

The goal of life is entirely subjective, while the achievement/advancement of the goal is grounded in logic and hard work, the goal itself is not.
That “reasonable people on both sides” cop commentator also called the amount of pepper spray a cop used on a peaceful protester with his hands in the air “judicious”.

The terrible (and currently true) idea that the police are exempt from assault and battery laws is so widespread that people don’t seem to notice how biased they are. The police need to be held to a higher standard, as public servants, but the first step is just holding them to the same laws as everyone else that say you don’t get to arbitrarily pepper spray or beat anyone you feel like.

Contempt of cop is not a crime, and cops retaliating violently should be tossed in the same hellish system they force others into for breaking the law. There is no equal protection in practice so long as one group can attack and harm anyone they wish under the guise of their job title.

They’re already entirely exempt from gun controls that apply to the rest of society; if they aren’t restrained from illegal activity by legal process, then the situation is indistinguishable on a practical level from military dictatorship.
They got that from lisp.
Well, what you just posted already highlights one difficulty: when you come to the PRINT statement, you have to emit the string and the instructions to two different places, so we're already talking about having two different emitters, or some other way of handling this. And we need to generate different non-conflicting names/addresses depending on architecture.

You said in your other post that this can be done with minor modifications, but I can already foresee a few modifications that would need to be made which aren't minor.

And then there's the problem that you may want to target more than one architecture. We can write two completely different code generators, but it would be nice if there were an architecture that could share some of the code.
I am not sure about this. There is a lot of physics other than nuclear going on (rad-hydro,hydrodynamics and atomic physics at HED, etc.)
So many problems with this argument.

> 20 people are encircling your car, banging your windows, shouting and ready to break your car.

Of the 400 videos, how many of them were this type of situation? I would guess 3 or fewer. This isn't a representative scenario.

> Can you tell me how you would respond?

People (police or otherwise) who aren't trained will respond in any number of inappropriate ways. Your argument is basically just justification for police to act inappropriately anytime they encounter a situation for which they haven't been explicitly trained. We don't pay police departments 40% of all municipal revenues to put untrained people on the street to act in completely unprofessional ways towards the same people who pay their paychecks, retirement, union dues, medical bills, and department lawsuits.

Actually check that. Apparently we do and those departments settle for billions of USD per year in legal settlements. The problem is that the officers largely aren't held accountable -- but the taxpayers frequently are. Moral hazard.

> Sit there and wait for them to assault you?

Professional police have a whole belt full of tools, a radio (to 40,000 other officers in NYC), a megaphone, a long gun, a short gun, and frequently a tazer.

Also, why is an officer in a car surrounded by angry citizens? Because someone in the same uniform mistreated their brother/father/son/husband/etc. Police have a lot of ability to de-escalate the problems before they happen, but they aren't doing it. Instead, police {departments, chiefs, unions, officers, wives} are pointing at violent protesters as if violent protesters have no incentive or excuse to be angry at police.

And while we're at it, shouldn't your logic be equally used against officers who assault civilians? Why shouldn't the entire country support civilians defending themselves against officers who use "extralegal" force? (rhetorical question)
Twitter Races to Unravel How Cyber-Attack Came from Inside
I suspect modern transportation infrastructure are going to be one of those things future generations mock us for.

We spend an insane amount of our private money on purchasing and maintaining personal vehicles, our public money on our road infrastructure, and our natural resources on building and driving the cars ( that smog has a cost even if everyone wants to pretend it does not. ).

They belch smog that poisons people and reduces their IQ[0]. They create trash and waste. Their production and transportation eats up our natural resources and pollutes our earth. Traffic makes cities miserable to live in. So much of the way we live in the United States has been dictated by the private vehicle.

My coworker was a product manager at Netflix and she said in a 2 year period she saw at least 20 engineers get fired. That seems pretty high to me.
Yes, that change in the right bar recommendations was very noticeable (though it happened quite some time ago). Like you I find the new system much less useful.

This has all the hallmarks of one of those changes driven by single-minded metric chasing (engagement!) instead of principled reasoning on what the product should do and feel like to use.
Some I can think of:

- Automata theory

- Complexity theory (P vs NP stuff, not the one from leetcode problems)

- Verification

- Optimization using stuff like genetic algorithms, ant-colony algorithms, particle swarm, simulated annealing, etc. Not sure how to call that area. In my case it was an AI course.

- Fuzzy logic

- Scientific computing and Numerical analysis (CFD, finite elements, etc)

- Information theory
Agreed. This sort of thing happens pretty regularly. It's just like using spy planes: powerful states like to be able to extend their gaze as far as possible.

Californication is an old idea that has come and gone. I'm talking about the West Coast. The 2 richest men in the world live in Seattle. The West Coast is a very powerful place, otherwise AG Barr would not somewhat impotently be complaining about it.
> The presence of social norms does not invalidate the agency of humans or groups of humans in the way a cage does.

I'm not sure how you can say this with such confidence. Surely it depends on what the social norms are and how they are enforced (which could be with a literal cage.)

Nearly every problem I've ever had with electronic components in my life has been caused by counterfeits that either lie about their capabilities, lie about what they're made of, or lie about whether they were QC tested. Maybe that means the SD card only stores a few real megabytes before trashing all of your photos. Maybe that means your phone charger destroys your phone. Maybe that means the battery in your ear explodes [0]. The thing about trusted brands is that at least they have brands to protect.

By any measurements one can imagine, this was true since 1970s: China were rapidly liberalizing.
