I read the article and all I could think was, "wow, what a load of excuses".

The idea that you can only get a job if you take advantage of a critical window in your life is nonsense.

There is plenty of work for people who are willing to work. For example, you could go door to door in your apartment complex and offer to take people's trash out to the dumpster. You could offer to clean their house, wash their dishes, do their laundry, walk their dogs, whatever. Mow people's lawns, weed their flowers, whatever.

If you are trustworthy and reliable and even slightly entrepreneurial, you will have more work than you know what to do with. It might not pay well (or hardly at all) at first, but it will build over time.

But instead, these losers are sitting at home watching anime and listening to K-Pop and moaning about how they missed their window of opportunity, while they live off their parents for years.

Gimme a friggin break.

I could definitely see this as being an issue with culture and depression, though. If the culture represses and shames entrepreneurs or people doing menial labor, for example, that would be a big issue. And if you are depressed, it's hard to find motivation to get out there and work and be rejected by all of the people who turn you down as you go door to door.

Even in the average case, hashtables can't really be constant. Simple proof: As elements are added, you either resize the table or you don't.[1]

Resize the table: a bigger table requires larger keys (to have a sufficient number of distinct ones), which require logarithmically more time to compute.

Don't resize the table: You have to stuff a logarithmic number of keys into each bucket and iterate over them.

Both increase time with input size.

[1] to clarify, I don’t mean resize on every addition. Just “you occasionally resize or you never do”.
Well, the hypothesis is "revealed".

Calling it a bribe is seriously misleading. A bribe implies illegal or dishonest behavior. But reikin is perfectly legal, and is typically fully disclosed up front in the rental listing.

It’s basically just a one-time fee that is paid up front - something which is not at all uncommon in the world of commerce.
Perhaps it's a regional thing then, in my country 2x4's aren't exactly cheap if you're buying enough to build an e.g. woodworking bench, and you need a planer even if they're pre-planed.

I'm currently planning a studio desk right now, funny enough. I could buy one for maybe €500, but just the heavy duty shelf sliders I need will be €70 for a pair. A pre-bought one will also have a light aluminium frame, whereas mine is going to weigh a ton with steel tubing.

Like you say though, if I make one it will fit the space perfectly etc. All in all it's worth it for me even if I personally don't save money

> Users don't want complexity, but they do want flexibility

I think Alan Kay said it best: Simple things should be simple and complex things should be possible.

Excel is an example of software not meant for programmers that exemplifies this principle. Doing simple things in a spread sheet is simple, it doesn't take more than a few minutes to learn how to sum up some columns and manage a simple budget in a spreadsheet, but there is still a lot of room for power users to stretch their muscles. (Whether or not some excel power users would be better off hiring a programmer is another matter, but excel has doubtlessly empowered millions of non-programmers regardless.)
These extensions are made by shitty companies using shitty practices to make money by "stealing" data from a shitty company with shitty practices to make money.

You're just a pawn sitting in the middle while the parties to this fight over who gets to exploit you most effectively. The only positive outcome here would be if the courts hugely overstepped their mandate and told everyone involved that this data shouldn't be available at all, you have to destroy it now.
Isn't that what they are doing. I'm not a big fan of facebook policing others while they horde data themselves.
My initial thought was similar, but then I changed my mind.

The difference between the people who don't have many choices and those who do is not money or wealth. It's whether they do what someone wants them to do, or they do what they want to do. It turns out when you do what someone else wants you to do, your choices are rather limited. But once you have a goal and you struggle to achieve it, then you suddenly have lots of distractions, lots of ideas how to achieve it in different ways, lots of ideas about alternative goals, and little time to spend with your inner social circle. So you have to choose very carefully what to do, and what not to do.
Not years ago they did not. Phones didn't even have security options to ask at that time.

i mean, it almost certainly would be, right? feel like we very instinctively/subconsciously derive our self-worth from what we're worth to our society (which tautologically comes from the share of responsibilities we take on).

maybe the jobs wouldn't resemble anything like those of today, but i have no doubt we have an innate need to be doing things that

1) are necessary/valuable to other people

2) visibly satisfy 1)

In terms of concepts it's very similar to MobX but the API is minimal because it's focused on react only.

We're using react-easy-state in the Frontity framework https://github.com/frontity/frontity/ and very happy with it.

Okay, that's fair, my view was too simplistic. But still, Wikipedia could probably get away with days of 1-5 minute cache refreshes if it was required? Especially if some banner informed users about it or something.

I think my larger points still stand. In comparison, almost all other services at the scale of wikipedia have critical almost-realtime components, and is almost useless without the possibility to authenticate users (which can't really be cached).

Not saying that the people who manage to keep Wikipedia so stable are doing an easy task, just that it's very different from almost all other things on the web.

> But, if you don't have partner, what exactly is the reason for moving to live alone and why is focus specifically on "omg someone lives with parents"?

Freedom, independence, personal autonomy. Even having good relations with my parents i prefer to have some distance and meet them on equal terms.

And i do not know about 'American'. Preference for independent living seems common also here in Europe.

> I mean, multigenerational households were historical norm.

Yes, because people cannot afford independent home from young age. Once society became wealthier, norms changed.
The speaker could mute the other person while they are talking, so they can focus.

> the publisher is responsible for now maintaining arbitrary ordering IDs and passing this in the publish method

Ah, thanks for pointing this out. The "ordering ID" bit is actually a remnant of how to publish messages before we had officially ordering key support (and only shows up in Node, but not our other samples https://cloud.google.com/pubsub/docs/publisher#using_orderin...). We'll be fixing this sample shortly.

The latter, there are fewer workers per population than in the past. This means supply falls relative to demand since the growing population is seniors with savings. That leads to higher prices.

When demographics are in your favor, a youth bulge places fewer demands on society.

Now we can tweak things to make them better. However the demographic megatrend is mostly set in place and there's not much we can do to reverse it.

I do not have a green thumb, and was wondering how do the stalks with so few leaves produce so much fruit?
The 19th and 20th centuries were extraordinary periods where "hard" sciences gave us amazing things, but technologists like the ones on this site are often fooled into thinking that those are the only things that matter. Any problems involving human beings are theoretically "reducible" to physics problems, and therefore only physics matters -- even if we don't actually know how to perform that reduction.

Questions of how human beings organize and treat each other are immensely complex, and of enormous importance. They're incredibly hard to study, and what study we can do is only in its infancy. But it's equally infantile to declare that it's irrelevant. And oddly, for people who pride themselves on their intellectual prowess, those who do tend to make it on the basis of a cursory "study" rather than serious engagement.
Out of curiosity did you push for a raise? Not criticizing btw, just wondering how things played out
The "So What" comes into play here in that this may not be the situation that this generation wants to be in. It is one thing, if this generation is choosing to not seek employment and cohabit with their parents, it is quite another if they have no choice and are being forced into this situation.

It is a bit like saying, people are living in tents on the sidewalk. "So what?". Plenty of people live with less than a tent and some even choose to do so. We have to go one step further and ask ourselves if this is a life that these people are choosing to lead, or if it is one that has been thrust upon them through a lack of options.
I am also 24, and I would say that tool in your pocket is also an extremely pernicious drug.
I don't miss it, but I've been working remotely for a long time. I recommend scheduling meetings a bit long on either end to facilitate chit-chat. An always-on voice channel is kind of nice sometimes as well (something like Mumble or Discord). Also, scheduling regular social hours with coworkers is pretty nice -- it can be as simple as playing a video game or a virtual happy hour.

It is my personal policy to not correct people who misgender me in most cases, especially if that is the only thing I would be saying (I will sometimes clarify if it is part of a larger comment, but I try to be gentle about it). I would rather put that info somewhere and let them have the chance to learn of it without me having to correct someone.

Different people have different reasons for noting their pronouns. Some do it because it is trendy. Some do it because they have genuinely been misidentified in online spaces. Some do it to show themselves as allies to certain groups.

Ubuntu 20.10 Beta Released with GNOME 3.38
just a few minor comments:

the cm-1 and cm-2 both supported up to 64k single bit processors, and as many 'virtual' processors as you wanted until their memories got too small

the cm-5, while it did have a potentially mimd model, each mimd node was a sparc that was lashed to 4 simd vector units, with their own memory bandwidth. so you would be giving up a lot to just run on the sparcs. it was also pretty clumsy - I think there was just a message library one called from C?

I think that its not entirely fair to compare the CMs to the Cray vector products. although somewhat similar, the programming model for the Crays was basically loop mining fortran and the CM really presented a model of 2^n fine grained processors. the precedent I always heard was the Iliac

Note that Blelloch's favorite(?) primitive- the parallel prefix operation was used quite widely in the CM world, but equivalent 'horizontal' operations are pretty much completely lacking on the Intel/AMD instruction sets. Haven't looked at the GPU ones, but its absence is pretty frustrating

Do you have a link to the hot pot kit that you bought your "partner"? That would be better than a link to the broth. Also, do you have to buy those ingredients individually or are there supermarkets that sell them as a hot pot package?
Tech companies have brought this on themselves with their one sided content "moderation". Not that I think this is the solution - I think if a company wants to keep their 230 platform status they should be required to publicize not only their content moderation policies, but also publicly document and reference those policies for all content moderation decisions.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

Don't like that? Fine - you're a publisher. Game on.

Great power should require great responsibility - yes, Google, Facebook and the rest are private companies - but they are receiving special benefits via section 230 from the government too.
The problem then is an economy which simultaneously denies opportunity to those in need of it and needs their contribution.

Such a society would be pathologically deranged.

Credit card rewards on spend (points, miles, cashback) are usually viewed as rebates/discounts by tax authorities, so they usually aren't taxed.
I'm well familiar with this viewpoint. I was and still largely am sympathetic to its (at least idealized) intentions, however too often it became obvious that those who hold it forget all about Hanlon's Razor. Not every policy failure is a deliberate conspiracy and to paint them as such is dishonesty.

More often than not, those who subscribe to these conspiratorial views of "big evil Capitalism coming to get you" become blinded to actual solutions and end up perpetuating the very problems they purport to wish to solve.

"We need your help to stop this anti-speech, anti-security bill. Email your elected officials in both chambers of Congress today and ask them to publicly oppose the EARN IT Act.

The EARN IT Act would allow all 50 state legislatures, as well as U.S. territories and Washington D.C., to pass laws that would regulate the Internet. By breaking Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, the EARN IT bill would allow small website owners to be sued or prosecuted under state laws, as long as the prosecution or lawsuit somehow related to crimes against children.

We know how websites will react to this. Once they face prosecution or lawsuits based on other peoples’ speech, they’ll monitor their users, and censor or shut down discussion forums.

The bill also creates an advisory commission on Internet “best practices” that will be dominated by Attorney General William Barr and law enforcement agencies. Barr’s view on Internet “best practices” is well known—he wants to break encryption and let police read every message sent online.

Public outcry has already forced amendments into the EARN IT Act that purport to defend encryption—but they’re full of loopholes. That window dressing doesn’t fix the bill’s many flaws. "
