In fact, I strongly suspect that the vast majority of people who write non-fiction books are absolutely aware that the royalties will likely be (maybe) beer money--assuming they don't have expensive tastes in beer. Rather they're reputational. In tech, being a published author on a topic often separates people from the pack as consultants but it can also easily differentiate you if you have an externally-facing role (especially) at a company.

Personally, I've made a relatively trivial amount of money from the books I've written, but I have little doubt they've been good investments of my time--some of which has been work time.

ADDED: I'd add that "promoting your book effectively" probably isn't free. Most authors aren't going to get a lot of publisher support so now you're hiring a publicist, paying for review copies, paying to travel (normally) to speak at events where you do book signings and promote your book, etc.

I honestly have an easier time installing software on windows than I do on Linux. This is in general when it comes to many tools. I know package management seems like a solved or "mostly" solved problem on Linux as opposed to windows, but its not all rainbows and butterflies.

Just a small example I encountered just recently: Look at the install page for docker. Curl, pipe to some random folder, mix in some sudo access, then finally can I "install" the docker package.

Questionable is that some significant group of people might not be ready to support or condone the views. The fact that its still in discussion means that even with his "exoneration" he's still not viewed positively.

> What windows filesystem (FAT, FAT32, exFAT, NTFS) look like a joke and compared to which Linux filesystem?

I was referring more to the layout of the root directory (oftentimes referred to as "the filesystem", but now that you bring it up I also hate the Windows filesystems. FAT32 needs to go out to the pasture, and it wouldn't even exist if exFAT support was so broken on lower-end systems. NTFS is fine, but pathetically bare-bones. I'm a BTRFS evangelist, but even ext3 makes NTFS look old by comparison.

> It’s pretty clear that you never used Linux in the 90’s from your comment.

This is true.

> And the main problem with Linux at the time had nothing to do with the filesystem but mainly with the immaturity of the complete system.

"at the time" meaning 2018 or the 90s? Maybe 30 years ago Linux was immature, but now it's the benchmark of maturity. Very few *nix systems have share it's pedigree.

> I am very curious to understand what great truth you understood by using Linux. Would you kindly teach me this great knowledge and illuminating experience that I somehow missed?

Nope, probably not. If using Linux wasn't an enlightening experience because you last used it in the 90s or because you have an FAT fetish, I can't really help you.

I still don't see why I should be outraged over this. A user of facebook already consents to facebook displaying whatever content on their feed facebook chooses. Why should facebook require extra consent to gather scientific evidence on the effects of the content being displayed, given they are only analyzing data they already gather?
If you think of groups of neurons in arbitrary dimensions, where some groups fire together for some things, and a different group with some overlap fire for other things, then it's like two dimensions where a line is a sense or thought and the lines are crossing where they fire for both memories. So two thoughts along two dimensions can cross and light up that subset of neurons. If the two thoughts, or lines, are orthogonal, then not many neurons are both firing for thoughts. If you have many many neurons, and many many memories, then the dimensionality, or possible subsets of firing neurons, is huge. Like our two lines but now in three dimensions, there are a lot of ways for them not to overlap. So the possibility that many things in that space are orthogonal is likely. In a highly dimensional space, a whole lot of things don't overlap.

Have you never someone who thought they had to please their parents well into adulthood?

On one hand, yes, on paper you are free when you are 18.

On the other hand, you can't be free without some sort of confidence that you'll be ok if you don't do what your parents say. And if your parents are the domineering kind, they'll have made good use of your first 18 years to keep you in their orbit.

Real life is complicated, not everyone has clarity, especially at that age.

My suggestions are:

Disable ability to make submissions until you have more solid plan

Decide what is your goal. Do you want to make a judge system, do you want create tasks or do you want a platform with specific kind of tasks.

Get in touch with people involved in ICPC an IOI contests in your country. Even if you are not interested in those kind of algorithm tasks, there will be some people who are familiar with similar existing systems and could point you in the right direction.

Assuming your primary goal isn't to make a judge system itself, some other options are:
* Evaluate the existing online judge systems. There are some open source ones like DOMjudge(https://www.domjudge.org/), CMS(https://cms-dev.github.io/index.html) and others . Consider if you reuse or extend them to suite your desired format. In the worst case maybe just the execution part can be reused. At least learn from their experience and mistakes creating and maintaining such systems.

* Many programming languages now have online REPL environments. Some of them open source. This is one more source of projects that provide sandboxed execution.

* If you have some budget, there are platforms that provide sandboxed exection as service oriented at your exact use case. Some examples are Sphere Engine https://sphere-engine.com/enterprise used by Sphere online judge and Kattis .

There a lot more different platforms with different style of programming tasks than what you listed in your FAQ. Some of looking for problem setters. Maybe one of them fits your type of tasks more. Or it can be a one off contest with slightly unusual problem set. Or maybe it can be a separate category on their system
and you can advertise this category on your website.

That implies you agree that the superpower economy of the US is not the result of the pre-war slave economy.

I see Bram Cohen got the original authors of "proof of space" or whatever this is to author papers with him, and also got inflationary pressure in there, but if that's the extent of research, well, that's still not how the economy works.

I’m not insisting on anything, sorry if I might have offended you, that was definitely not the intent.

I assumed that you might have started later than the author because you compared the current state to just a few years ago, while the article mainly talks about even further back in history.

The tools I mentioned were not meant for bragging. I just wanted to indicate that back then it was all way simpler, which you know as you apparently started in a similar timeframe to myself.

The main point I wanted to make was that back then things were so much simpler.
They banned quite a but more than that.

* Bans for disagreeing with the mask policies.
* Bans for posting COVID-19 studies that are different than what is mainstream.

* Bans for discussing election fraud.
* Bans for upvoting content.

I think OP failed to realize there are 0011 kinds of people in the world.

0001) your average joe. He just wants a stamp.

0010) You. You want some stamps, but you are not "into it".

0011) Those guys at the store. 0001 and 0010 are rubbish and should not be speaking to them, for they are elite stamp collectors, just like everyone else should be.

It is getting harder to just find people "into it". I am a hi-fi enthusiast. I also have advanced degrees in EE and Physics, but I try to not let that get in the way. Talking to people on hi-fi forums seems MUCH harder than say, 10 years ago (and I never left the forum). Now I am one of the silent lurkers.

My point is not to go "forums now suck", but I think that "real collectors" are too extreme now... hrm, perhaps just like everything else? Polarized?

Given your age I’d suggest you should at least give college a try. There are important social benefits and you may be able to get a internship which can really turbocharge your entry level career/lead to higher earning potential earlier in your career.

Getting a bachelors level technical degree in today’s day and age is still difficult but I would imagine the vast wealth of resources online (YouTube, stackoverflow, cheap Udemy courses) should make it much easier for a serious student to succeed.
This is unethical psychological research against non-consenting adults and children that likely caused real harm. From a paper cited below,

> This Facebook study was conducted without consent and without appropriate oversight, and may have harmed both participants and non-participants. Kramer’s apology also puts the vast number of participants in context; a full 0.04% of Facebook’s users, or 1 in 2500, were unwitting subjects in this unethical research. Many of these people were almost certainly children, and many of the participants were probably suffering from depression. It is surprising and worrying that one of the world’s most prominent companies should treat both the emotions of its users and research ethics so carelessly. Steps must be taken to ensure that international psychological and medical studies involving social network users are regulated to the same standard as other human subjects research.

Edit: Also you said something that confused me,

> given they are only analyzing data they already gather?

I'm not sure what this means. But they did not only analyze existing data, they created new data specifically intended to make people feel sad, then analyzed that data.
> And there's also lots of media attention to their problems and struggles.

People treated well don't need lots of media attention to remind those treating them well that black lives matter, in 2021. I'd say that for a democracy that's a pretty bad track record that isn't improving fast enough. Democratic majority decisions sometimes leave the minority far behind.
The cold hard truth, however, is that CP/M is kind of awful. Back then you didn't have directories and subdirectories, what you had were floppies and disk drives. These were your file management components. Hard drives were rare, and CP/M was just not very friendly to large disk spaces.

User areas had a marginal affect at the time, since they were really considered more apt to their name "User area", as in "separate users", vs a mechanic to actually organize files.

Out of the box CP/M had really poor support for user areas. The simple fun fact that the way you shared a command across user areas was to...copy the file in to each user area. Which is easier said than done.

The file copy program, PIP, could copy files FROM one user area to another (i.e. pull a file from one user area in to your current one), but not TO another user area.

So, in order to copy files in to a user area, you had to have a copy of PIP in that user area. But you can't use PIP to move PIP in the first place. You have to jump through hoops loading PIP into memory with the debugger to span user areas.

Later, new shells and utilities supported the idea of A3:FILE.TXT to represent user area 3 on drive A, started becoming common, but not every program supported it, and the stock OS did not support it either. Recall, in CP/M, the programs did most of the heavy lifting for this stuff.

It's unjust, honestly, to criticize CP/M looking backward. It managed to empower great things back in the day, which is what microcomputing was all about. Its influence is felt to this day. But that doesn't necessarily mean it was a great place to be.

Email can have multiple parallel payloads in different formats (see MIME). It's part of the spec, not a hack.

The OP is suggesting that if LKML gets multiple payloads where it can understand one of them it just selects the one it can understand. This is what other text-only clients do.

We got to choose a Thinkpad or Macbook Pro. I went with the Thinkpad and I wonder once in a while if I made the wrong choice. Things like WSL and Windows Terminal have made my life significantly easier and more productive, it's hard for me to overstate the value I get out of WSL in particular, so I always balk a bit when I hear something like "lol just use Linux". With JetBrains IDEs just recently having the ability to run things on remote machines (and VS Code having been able to do this for quite a while) I think the productivity gap between Windows and Linux is closing.
Not in a world with lawyers it isn’t

I went to a train store a few years back, and yes there was definitely a "trains are serious business" vibe about the place.

Maybe it's because most of the customers have white hair and extra money.

Thing is, it's hilarious how seriously trains are done!

You buy a DCC locomotive and it has lights that light up in the direction of travel. The engine spools up with a delay like a real locomotive with sound increasing, the air brakes releasing and only then does it move. And they have 20 horns to choose from - pick the right one for the regional line you're simulating. Sort of nuts.

I was talking to another customer though and he balanced it all out. He said he had too many trains. He told me it was really relaxing to go downstairs after dinner with a glass of wine and run his trains or work on his layout.

I think the best train guy was Gomez Addams.
I saw the video of this thing on the peloton website. IMHO, it's so needlessly dangerous and stupid to design it like that. It's the cult of Apple "rethink everything" design I guess.

I hear Apple wants to get into the car business. I bet they won't have seatbelts because, after all, it's just another unnecessary button to confuse the user.

I agree, there's no question that was the real value. I should point out that whatever made it fun is gone. Whatever I found compelling about design or history as exemplified in stamps, is available through the Internet and books. If I were to collect stamps again, it would be images of stamps, not the fragile artifacts themselves.
I was thinking this as well. For how much tech this thing seems to have, and for such a high price tag, they could easily justify putting, I don't know, two or three IR sensors down there.
