The actual studied results are straightforward and intuitive: whether you are rich or poor, humans are excellent at rationalizing their own merit. So for a rich person of course they want to believe that their wealth comes from their own agency, and for a poor person of course they want to believe that wealth is completely random.

That's all fine and good, but attaching the editorial that the rich don't understand the poor kind of bothers me. Sure it's true in aggregate, and I agree with the implication that more privileged groups could stand to have more empathy for less privileged groups, but going a layer deeper I think it does individuals a real disservice to tie "choice mindset" to a moral failing.

The reason it bothers me is because taking responsibility of your own choices is just a better way to live; whether or not it makes you rich it will certainly improve your relationships and mental health. And of course I understand some folks have more choice than others, but in practice I've seen plenty of rich people exhibiting victim mentality just as I've seen many poor people make hard choices and own them.

In fact I'd be curious to see a longitudinal study that tested the hypotheses that poor people with a "choice mindset" are more upwardly mobile, and rich people with a "privilege mindset" are more downwardly mobile.
>High status professional are expected to drive nice cars and live in a big house. It's harder to be a millionaire if you're spending a lot of money.

houses and cars are assets. god why do people believe this crud masquerading as science

>I like the Tweet thread, but prefer the Millionaire Next Door cause it's backed up by actual data. It also seems like the Tweet thread is focused on advice that'll get you a net worth in the top 0.1%. The central premise of the Millionaire Next Door is a lot of people have "regular jobs" and get rich (depending on your definition of rich). See the janitor that amassed an $8 million dollar fortune: https://www.cnbc.com/2016/08/29/janitor-secretly-amassed-an-...

The only reason why the janitor story is newsworthy is because of how exceedingly rare it is, not because this is something that can be reproduced. no one publishes stories about lawyers, execs, doctors, coders, bankers, etc. donating millions. You have to donate tens of millions for Harvard to care.
It doesn't particularly matter, I'm just addressing a common misconception. Dynamic linking doesn't have to happen only at build time and it doesn't have to depend on any particular symbols being present. Even if you static link your libc and SDL, you're still likely going to be doing some dynamic linking at runtime, and in most cases this is probably what you want. You just don't have to handle it yourself because it's implemented within SDL -- it handles all the version detection logic at runtime for you and can decide how to handle things based on the existence of some symbols, so with that it's possible to support multiple version of the same dynamic library, within the same program, and without a recompile.

What is the use of “magic arguments” in Linux reboot system call?
2 things on this:

1. Terrance Malik did a pretty good job of capturing the boolean of this article in knight of cups. the rich, despite this study, still have the same existential crises as us plebs. also, there's something inherent about trying to find purpose in life that even escapes the niceties of privilege.

2. those 'niceties' are currently being accounted for through policies made over 25 years ago [0]. they have been, essentially, mistaken as our prime purpose for life. when in reality, it's more that they are a sort of short cut for being 'allowed' to pursue what you perceive as your purpose [one day, collectively, we will realize that we can only provide this to x number of people for y quality of access to that pursuit]. essentially what i'm saying is that the policies were created to allow the entire system to inflate and eventually crash, while letting the rich create a nice puffy cushion for themselves to land on when it does crash. rather than say, the same thing happening but without the cushion.

this is rather just typical human behaviour at scale. ray dalio has been talking about it. we're reaching the end of a 300 year cycle. no one alive has experienced it before, but it happens regularly in human history. i think it is a natural phenomenon. inheritance is more to blame than any other element. we die and our bodies go to the same place, but our capital does not. we do know that capital allows us more opportunity to pursue more 'life', and i imagine that even people who only get that chance through inheritance sometimes believe they worked for it/deserve it whatever... but we shouldn't mistake the idea that wealth is the end game. it is, in many senses, just the beginning. but it is not the only. an example of this would be having kids. or finding love etc. wealth is just tylenol. temporary alleviation of symptoms. sometimes it allows us to do more art, or have more kids, or find more lovers, but its no guarantee. what we're all seeking is a common understanding that money is a tool; for each of us to pursue life as we see it. not the perverted way we've used it [and we live in a democracy so must take responsibility for its misuse]. the attitude in this article, to me, is less about wealth, and more about ego. it's egotistical people who can't understand the poor. and we get seduced by their confidence. ayn rand is a good example of this. the preacher who ended up on welfare.

when the bandaid comes off, just remember that it's not your fault, it's not society's fault, but it's our fault. fix the bugs, account for fault tolerance, and act accordingly. all that said, burning down the buildings, destroying the statues, raiding the halls of congress, is not the answer. but tampering the egos just may be. i think the only way we can do that is to not allow power or wealth to concentrate. that's the lesson to be learned. to an extent we must let it, but that's the thing. finding that sweet spot. understanding that is how the rich can understand the poor, how we can understand each other, and how we will eventually understand the greatness of that sweet spot.

More like KCommandBar is the "answer" to this since Plotinus has existed since 2016 although it seems it has gone under the radar.
You're talking about partisan politics; most here are talking about the more general meaning of "the actions or activities concerned with achieving and using power in a country or society". So talking about workplace racism is political, but it's not about political parties.
Yes. They're doing it wrong according to this rule.
I can guarantee you one thing, if you don’t try and complain about how only privileged people can do it, you DEFINITELY won’t get rich or be successful or whatever your metric is.

If you try, you might fail, and you might fail because of things outside your control, and it won’t be your fault.

But you might succeed.

Your choice.
Doing a bunch of math about payoffs and probabilities completely misses the most important point:

When joining a startup you are a minority investor. The value of your options depends 100% on the integrity of the majority investors.
> there are all sorts of absolutely bonkers rules to English that 99% of people can’t describe

It’s especially annoying when English natives arrogantly deride other languages for being too complicated or ambiguous. Like, buddy, do you even know how many different ways are to just pronounce one letter in English?? (e.g. “Pacific Ocean” or “ghoti” = “fish”)
Is it really that important that the time to get to 200 should be small? I understand that it may be frustrating to get started, but assuming I am stuck to this API for a long time, I am lot more worried about stability, quality, performance and availability of the system than time to onboard.
> was too hard hiring and the existing team preferred not to continue with it.

The second problem is bigger than the first.

For hiring, I worked at a company running Erlang for our main server app; very few people were hired with Erlang knowledge, almost everyone had to learn it on the job. As an earlyish hire, I had the most experience before being hired because I sort of remembered seeing a Slashdot post when Ericsson open sourced it; but I didn't do anything with it until I was hired. The couple of big issues this lead to is we never really did anything useful with the OTP application concept, no releases and what not, just hotloading with l/1 in the shell; and maybe it took us a bit longer to figure out how to scale BEAM because we didn't have anyone with that experience... But BEAM is written so nicely that people with experience optimizing C stuff can dig in and optimize BEAM without a huge learning curve, and most of the bottlenecks fit the same pattern of something simple that works fine at reasonable volume, but blows up consistently and clearly when you run it at large volume, so pretty soon you learn the pattern and know what to look for... And of course 24 has a lot less of these bottlenecks than r14 did.
They also know that the money/prestige they start making at the beginning of their career can vastly change their trajectory in economic terms. I would argue that the chance of making $500k/yr 10 years into their career will be vastly different if someone goes to FAANG vs a Microsoft temp role.
I believe that the 6th and 7th mobile puzzles are unsolvable with the provided character sets. Am I missing something?
The Greeks were known for having lots of colonies / communities across the Mediterranean:

"like frogs around a pond" -Plato

Presumably this required some skillful diplomacy, alliances, and the ability to call for help when / if it was needed. Mercenaries seem like a logical tool in that case.
This comment is a good summary of the problem I was describing: It's easy to say that anyone who can get a FAANG job should get a FAANG job, but if circumstances don't line up, what else? That's where many students draw a blank, because all of the advice they've consumed revolves around FAANG job offers that may not arrive.

Statistically, more people are rejected than accepted by FAANG companies. A lot of my mentoring time is spent helping students figure out what's next when their primary FAANG plan doesn't (or can't) work out.
Agreed. I was just try to help with framing if it was bothering you. If instead you're trying to help make the site better, well, more power to you.
Sorry if I was flippant. Here is an example of a minute timer app, which replicates Android's timer app behavior using statecharts: https://codesandbox.io/s/xstate-vue-minute-timer-viz-1txmk

Well, evolutionary-hierarchy perspective wise colour would be the best/simplest identifier and ideal to be first.
But that is a large problem today, because you have no idea when, if ever, the liquidity event is going to happen. There are companies that spend a whole lot of time private, and if said company is going well, it's going to be growing so fast that in 4 years, it might be unrecognizable. Even if you love the job you joined, you might hate the equivalent a few years later, and you probably still don't have a liquidity event.

Quite a few years ago, a well known company was sending offers where the exercise cost of the shares was around $200k, plus whatever fun you'd have with AMT at exercise time. The company still hasn't seen an IPO, and I know quite a few people that didn't exercise their entire allocation just because it was just way too expensive for something illiquid... and that was with a company that was going (and still is!) going very well. Today you'll find companies that went for a decade without a liquidity event, and where a whole lot of options that were well in the money went back to the company, unused.

Options would be far more worthwhile if there was a standing offer to, on departure, sell the options back to the company at departure time, but we all know this isn't how it works. So you end up in situations when two people join a company and leave at the same time, and their savings separate their final outcomes by 8 figures, because one could buy the shares and wait the necessary X years for the liquidity event, when someone else couldn't.
One of the advantages of TCE in Logo (in combination with turtle graphics) is that you can teach the concept of recursion in a gradual and intuitive manner. You can start with drawing a circle, using recursion to make an infinite loop, stopping it manually after a while:

to circle
fd 3
rt 7
circle
end

Add a parameter, and get a spiral. The turtle winds its way off the screen, and again the student can stop the program manually:

to spiral :x
fd :x
rt 30
spiral (:x + 1)
end

Introduce a base-case, and now the program stops itself at a desired size:

to spiral :x
if (:x = 30) [ stop ]
fd :x
rt 30
spiral (:x + 1)
end

Small, unsurprising steps building up an intuitive grasp of a useful concept.

TCE can also improve the economy of the language, reducing the number of "primitive" control flow concepts that need to be provided out of the box. Since Logo has no "special forms" and is not eagerly evaluated like a Lisp, it's easy to make new control constructs without needing to teach any magic:

to while :cond :proc
unless run :cond [ stop ]
run :proc
while :cond :proc
end

Little things matter.
I don't think you even have to go as far as Europe. In Canada, at least until recently, Social/Socialism isn't as bad word as in USA I think.

NDP is an openly "Social Democratic" party and while they are pretty much always third nationally, they do occasionally lead individual provinces.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism_in_Canada
Most people with a very high salary end up with an expensive lifestyle to match it. If they lose their job, they’ll need to find another one before long. In this sense, they are not that different from someone making 1/10th the salary.

The main difference between being rich and being wealthy is owning and controlling your time.
Honestly, it's what got them elected. I met lots of people who were going to vote NDP (many of my friends, coworkers) -- or not vote at all (trades people who were working on my house, people I talked to online etc.) -- who got out and voted Liberal because of this issue alone.

It's been a few years now and the world hasn't ended and it doesn't feel like cannabis consumption is any higher really. It was probably good policy to do it. While the NDP (who were ahead of the Liberals in the polls at the beginning of that election and actually in majority territory) have always had legalization as policy, I bet you that Mulcair wouldn't have had the political confidence or buy-in from the provinces to get it through like Trudeau did.
I get the whole idea about animal abuse and sustainability, but all these alternatives milks are disgusting. Almond milk tastes terrible and gives me an upset stomach. I’d prefer to pay twice the price for natural milk and drink less of it if the animals were treated better. Problem with all these products for me is that the product is inferior and more expensive.
I see this a lot on Reddit. People who bought homes a decade ago using mortgages are now sitting on a nice amount of equity.
Which specific processor would be the “Intel One”? And how would you name the rest of them?

Apple can do this because there’s literally only one processor, the M1.
>I think the GP's experience with the MoMA show can be understood in terms of the Gell-Mann effect

You're probably right, not a bad analogy. Over years of cultural osmosis and sometimes being told outright, I came to understand that I'm a nerd what doesn't get art and that it's some sort of personal failing. I thought the computing exhibit might be my chance to have the kind of experience that the reverence for art tells me I'm missing out on.

Over time since then I decided that if I see something as a skilled execution of an idea not worth anything more than a "huh, neat" and moving on, then to stop letting the presentation and culture tell me there is something more and just keep walking.

I've always found Starry Night beautiful and seeing it in person was actually an experience. I was under the delusion that I "should" have had even one tenth of that reaction to literally anything else in the place. But there's a reason it's the last stop on the way through.
It’s important if you lose a significant number of potential API users along the way.
Are you talking about routes or Phoenix.HTML? Those are the only two places I can think of having a DSL. Phoenix.HTML isn't strictly required and the routes look like data to me.
MySQL's lack of DDL transactions is a serious shortcoming.

In a world where Amazon blue-collar jobs exist, I highly doubt that it's >>illegal<<.
"Rule" in this context means a regular distinction which speakers know and follow implicitly. Not a prescriptive rule that you learn in school, like "always put periods inside quotes."
> Like, buddy, do you even know how many different ways are to just pronounce one letter in English?? (e.g. “Pacific Ocean” or “ghoti” = “fish”)

That's hardly unique to English. Heck, even in German, there are at least four ways to pronounce the letter "s".
I spent years developing in WSL and while it’s decent, it’s still not fool proof. Recently I’ve made the switch to pure Linux work stations and I have the opposite to offer:

I’d rather config WINE to run a Windows app then configure and play with WSL. It’s a great tactic but Linux DE’s are so polished these days I think WSL is a poor choice.
That is the main point. Why is life not fair and why do we not try to do things to make it fairer? We all try to unbalance the system by trying to get more money or more power, instead of trying to work together and make it fair for everyone.
That's naval's entire thing. Just trite thinking packaged to inflate his own ego as a "thought leader".

i can’t stand this argument. if your not actively trying to X then you support Y. it’s cherry picked grandstanding. its a way to single people out without a conversation. cancel culture in the microcosm. you do not have to act in any specific way to hold some political beliefs and no one should judge you for your beliefs
Fortunately, Intel's fabs are starting to catch up with their designs so I think Golden Cove was designed for the 10ESF process.
Pseudo intellectual garbage, and the tweets read like if Ayn Rand wrote fortune cookies.
Both are excellent podcasts. I personally prefer the early Lexicon Valley episodes with the original hosts, although I hear the new host has more credentials.
I'm not sure whether that's a Linux specific issue. I've used teams on an older MBP and also on newer PCs (8th gen i5) with Windows, and the lag is always there for some reason. I've found ticking "disable animations" helps a little.
Ah, I understand. I do remember that area feeling very off-putting, lots of people in suits and not much else. If the whole of SF turns into that it would be pretty terrible.
As a straight man, it is not my place to enforce what anyone wants to call themselves-- as an ally the best thing I can do is listen, but it's important to speak up, too, to use the privilege I have for good when I can.

I'll note that I didn't mean to come across as the ultimate authority on the taxonomy of minorities to which I do not belong. The commenter to whom I was responding had dismissively referred to LGBTQIA+ as "letter people" who scold you for getting it wrong, and I was pointing out that the letters are really not some impossible to divine thing, it's just an acronym like HDMI or SCSI that describes some ways real people identify themselves.

>I perceive as the desire to try to turn the LGBT rights movement into a generic left wing movement is harmful to our end goal of equality for queer people everywhere - The end goal should be to make LGBT rights and acceptance an uncontroversial issue across the entire political spectrum.

I find myself confused. You seem to be saying that a subgroup of the greater community of gender and sexual minorities are turning GSM rights into a leftist thing. How exactly does one go about doing that? One side of the political spectrum outright rejects the validity of GSM rights, and the other doesn't, and you're saying the side that doesn't is somehow at fault?
This screed could be the keynote speech at a MLM conference.
Hard work unfortunately only has marginal value in this economy. The real money is in being able to get other people to invest in you. The idea even matters less than your ability to convince investors.

Startup employees are often quite screwed from a promises made perspective.
Hm, there are likely multiple large files that exist that are very common (DLLs, versions of shared libs, etc etc etc) that might be frequently compressed (SCP, stored in SSDs, etc) since disk space isn't free yet last I checked.

Each file is really its own special theoretical multivariate space to find the best theoretical compression ratio. Usually finding the optimal or near-optimal compression is the hardest computationally.

And it's basically a perfectly cacheable computation if you have some sort of database mapping algorith + parameters to apply to a given file.

Decompression usually isn't as big a deal for performance.

Anyway an online database for a service that has actively tried to take a known common file (match on filesize, hash, etc) down to its best compressed representation so 1) we don't have to do it every time.

Cloud providers would presumably love these, since S3 probably has millions copies of many files and would 1) get to compress the file and 2) get to share its representation across all instances.
This is about people leaving SF, not about leaving the state.
The article is insane. Pure ideological reductive bs.

To say anyone who points out social injustice plays a silly mean game of status is the most cynical thing I've read in a while. As if capitalists weren't driven by status.

And describing taxes as stealing is simply juvenile and fucking stupid and unhelpful.
I saw this and said “eh, been done” - but that it’s the latest kernel and busybox is surprising.

This could be useful for other embedded systems - as 2MB of storage could be fit into ROM pretty easily.
If you think life in prison is more inhumane than death then I could be convinced that prisoners with a life sentence should be allowed to voluntarily choose euthanasia.

If you are concerned about cost then it's worth noting that execution (in the US) is more expensive than life in prison.

That leaves the "sense of justice". Given the high likelihood that the government already has killed innocent people, and the likelihood that it will continue to do so, that seems insufficient to me.
Isn’t the question here more like putting Man City (elite professionals) up against average professionals? I don’t see the 10x goal differential there necessarily. It would be unremarkable for a “10x programmer” to be 10x better than a hobbyist, which is what I see as the equivalent of someone “who is fit and knows how to play soccer”.
