> God knows why discord hasn't set up a user side default setting for that

It's not in discords interest to do so. More notifications leads to more user activity which leads to more VC money (and indirectly to more nitro income if users who would have forgotten about the service get drawn back in and eventually convert).

An open protocol allows decoupling the client and service provider which defuses these misaligned incentives, which is likely one reason this current wave of messaging services are against ilthem.

What are you getting at by saying whether it reflects the views of half of America? Those views are objectively incorrect, not based on reality. Reality here is not based on someone's opinion, no matter how widespread the belief in it is.
Over my career it was never working harder that would make feel better. The things that make me had a better life was.

1. Becoming more empathetic about the team I was in (including my boss and the rest of management)

2. Experiencing failure trying to do two startups which lessens my regret

3. Always leaving a job when the work life balance doesn't match the salary
Is it materially different from "opportunity"?

If it's luck that isn't associated with starting conditions, I feel that it tends to zero over the course of a lifetime. Good luck and bad luck tend to negate each other, on average.
I would encourage you to look into food insecurity a little bit more. I live in a fairly nice area and there are kids in my school district who often don't eat when there are snow days and in the summer. It is significantly more prevalent than you think.

A lot of the food that lower class families have available, stuff which is non-perishable, tend to have empty calories and less fiber. Soft drinks are a problem, and they're cheap.
Serious q: how much is this due to inequality, and how much is due to greater transparency caused by social media and the internet?

> Americans are said to be more entrepreneurial

There seems, from my experience mostly in the UK but also talking to people from round Europe, to be a big regulatory and mental impediment in most places to setting up your own business. Being an employee is safe, you get a lot of rights, your paycheck arrives the same day every month and it's actually really hard to lose that, if you are going to lose it that's a huge tragedy, and you've probably had several months notice anyway.

A lot of the middle classes in the UK would never consider trying to start a business, even though the social safety net would catch them to some extent on failure, in reality it may save you from the street but it's not likely to be much better than that. Best stick to that safe £50k a year. Which, incidentally, is considered pretty decent pay but won't leave you much to put aside to actually kick off that business idea later. Starting a business is for high flyers, finance types, other people.

You might be right about it not being lack of energy, but I think the entrepreneurial spirit in the UK is pretty suppressed. And in the EU from what I can tell it's similar, with an added side of "and the state is going to make this very difficult too".
I love your point about different philosophies and views for thinking about personal things vs policy. I wish this was more common in general. Similarly I want to work hard and never friend on social welfare, yet I think society should take good care of everyone and am happy to pay for it even if I never ever want it for myself
Seriously. I think it is just momentum that keeps people in a parasitic relationship with Adobe. Print isn't that relevant today and even that is no issue for alternatives. I just use both in a non-professional manner, but they are extremely dependable tools. I use them on Apple devices too. They even run perfectly on an M1 with an emulation layer. Really good performance. Next notebook is probably a Linux device again, but designers and artists have a lot of choice today.
Pretty sure this thread is being brigaded. Awful lot of newly created accounts responding about how people are just lazy and don't want to work. At least two people bringing up and mis-representing the subreddit r/antiwork, and just general ignorance of how the cycle of poverty works.
No offense, but the article discusses 10" ereaders heavily (that's the screen size of both the reMarkable 2 and the Note Air). There's also the Kobo Elipsa if you'd like something that's totally focused on reading.

I've been using a 7.8" Nova 3 myself for a few months now, and it's a dramatic improvement over the 6" Kindle I was using before. I love having a screen that's closer to the size of your average hardcover page, and it's just large enough to make PDFs readable at 100% zoom. It's also very fast, though there's always a bit of perceivable e-ink related lag unless you put an app on the fastest refresh rate. The warm frontlight is also the best I've experienced on an ereader, even better than what I've seen on Kindles.

IMO, 10" might be a smidge too large for comfortably reading in bed -- the Note Air might feel a bit too large physically and heavy to hold up if you're reading for long periods of time with one arm holding it up. If that's a common use case for you, you should really consider the Onyx Boox Nova 3, like I have, or maybe the Kobo Forma, which is a bit cheaper and reading-focused.

I'm using my Nova 3 completely disconnected from the internet most of the time, though I do occasionally find it useful to fire up Firefox for random browsing (and to sometimes transfer files with https://snapdrop.net/, which is like Apple's Airdrop on your local network). I don't think using the Nova 3, Forma, Elipsa, reMarkable 2, or Note Air offline most or all of the time would be a problem, though from what I can tell reMarkable has invested a lot in sync functionality that you might not necessarily want to turn off. Though the reMarkable probably wouldn't be for you, since it's focused on note-taking, rather than reading.
For me that means that I can be intensively productive in intense bursts when I am engaged.

Pre-treatment OP sounds like me now.

I am arrogant in that I am always confident I can finish the tasks I have later. The problem is that even though I consistently do, it doesn't feel good, and sometimes unexpected outside influences will kill the tight margin I've left myself.
So what is it about? You're acting like we should all know what you mean. Typically when someone talks about class they referring to income, wealth, and sometimes debt.
Also be extremely skeptical of internet strangers telling you that you DON'T need medication or vaccines or therapy.

> Anecdotally, I've seen a huge uptick in posts of the format "how an ADHD diagnosis changed my life"

You are seeing an uptick because admitting to being neuroatypical is now far more acceptable. Similar to how "there are so many more people claiming to be gay/trans/bi" on Reddit isn't suspicious either.

The meds changed my life because I have ADHD. My dad's heart medication changed his life (well, gave him a life) because he has congestive heart disease.

My GP became much more relaxed about my medication when I reported that my medications DIDN'T result in euphoria or bursts of energy as that is often the case with ADHD. I am simply much more focused.

> I've gotta say, groceries in NYC seem uniquely awful. We stayed with friends in Greenpoint for a week and it was grim.

What you experienced are the fruits of gentrification in NYC. Greenpoint is an overpriced neighborhood which used to be a Polish enclave (still is to a degree but on life support from what I see). People down there shopped at local ethnic markets, many of which are gone due to gentrification which drove real estate prices through the roof.

I'm in a similar situation. The diagnosis changed everything for me and I really wish someone had noticed it when I was a kid.

All my therapy was about struggling with my ADHD for so long because it was unkown and untreated. Once I figured the ADHD part out, everything else fell into place.

Knowing this about myself has been nothing but positive for me.
Good points. Re the last one: you of course also save some by having fewer pages and their metadata. Wonder what the space-optimal page size would be taking these opposing factors into account.
The dose is managed to be the minimum that treats your symptoms. A massive dose of amphetamines will obviously get anyone high, but we're talking about the response in a clinically relevant range of doses.

Borland Software Craftsmanship: A New Look at Process, Quality and Productivity [1994]
https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.12...

Abstract

The Borland Quattro Pro for Windows (QPW) development is one of the most remarkable organizations, processes, and development cultures we have encountered in the AT&T Bell Laboratories Pasteur process research project. The project assimilated requirements, completed design and implementation of 1 million lines of code, and completed testing in 31 months. Coding was done by no more than eight people at a time, which means that individual coding productivity was higher than 1000 lines of code per staff-week. The project capitalized on its small size by centering development activities around daily meetings where architecture, design, and interface issues were socialized. Quality assurance and project management roles were central to the development sociology, in contrast to the developer-centric software production most often observed in our studies of AT&T telecommunications software. Analyses of the development process are ‘‘off the charts’’ relative to most other processes we have studied.

Sadly, I've not yet worked at an org quite this competent, functional, productive. Looking back, it seems this was the high water mark for methodologies, maturity models, software quality assurance, etc.
Here is the link to the source material for the insidermag article, which has a lot of additional and interesting information.

https://www.edelman.com/sites/g/files/aatuss191/files/2020-0...

While I think that most of the discussions on this thread are worth having, I don't think they really relate directly to the referenced insidermag article and the Edelman report.

My takeaway from the article is that distrust is a consequence of the growing wealth inequality in many countries. And that while during the pandemic many governments have provided economic stimuli the net result was an increase in stock market performance and not economic security for the lower and middle classes.
Firefox is roughly as good as any other browser, which is to say it does some things better and some things worse, and many things roughly the same.

Blender is one of the 2 or 3 dominant tools in its field. It's a niche field, so it's not for office work, but is nevertheless an incredible tool by any standard.

For almost anyone's purposes, LibreOffice is better than any closed source equivalent tool (though some of them do have specific features that are critical for some users). The only issues with it come from being forced to interoperate with data generated by closed source applications. I don't happen to enjoy using LibreOffice very much, but there's denying its "stellar" quality compared to the alternatives.

[ EDIT: I really can't fail to mention VCV Rack, a libre+gratis virtual modular synthesizer. It wasn't the first such tool, but it is by far the most successful, and by far the best, at least in terms of user experience. It has also created an ecosystem of module developers (more than 2200 modules already), which is both a reason why and an indication of just how stellar a tool it really is ]

Of course, as a software developer, I could name a long list of FLOSS tools that are also stellar, but you and others would likely dismiss them as not of interest to "the general public". In the context of this article, that would probably be fair.
Can't find good link now, but the fact SQL is based on a kind of Bag Logic as opposed to the logic of Sets.
What is working hard? Putting long hours in at your dead-end job may be hard work, but is not working hard.

Working hard is doing things outside of work in order to create opportunities. School, networking, learning. Working hard is sacrificing by saving your money, not blowing it. Making good choices. Hanging around positive people.

Working hard is also being honest and not making excuses. I have a young child and use that as an excuse for not going back to college. Plenty of people finish their degree and have more kids at home than I do. I just don’t prioritize it as much. So I don’t have a right to complain when I get rejected from a job for not having a degree. I have had twenty years to get one, instead I chose to do other things.

Steps to Blogging Outside the Perl Bubble
Puritanism typically holds that work is required, both historically and with the remnants we might see in more conservative protestants. Love of wealth - and particularly displays of wealth - would be failures of modesty and humility which are core values. Simply having wealth, especially wealth not shown but used for charity, would be considered a result of hard work.

The puritans didn't wear drab clothes because they lacked decent dyes, they wore them as an element of modesty.

Alms to the poor was not considered a bad thing, it was religiously required, especially when used to evangelize.

As Adam Smith observed, when people get more income it almost always goes to better places to live. Better can be more space, better location, or more luxury in the space.

You can still find apartments built in the 1950s that are functional (places where the maintenance was done so they are essentially just as good as 70 years ago) and the rent is cheap. Most people want better.
.. and if you look at the list of companies, it looks fairly global. Some, but far from all of them, are in SV.

Windows on ARM wasn't really a success story. Don't know if I would be so enthusiastic about RISC V.

I would like it, we need more open hardware. But I have no illusion that vendors like Microsoft, Google or Apple will first try to find a way to lock their systems down.
We have to operate by american rules in the hope that something will catch on, and then pray european countries won't create legislation that outlaws or makes it impossible to monetize your product. Schemes like the H2020 research grants are more of a UBI for Phd holders than a real attempt to outcompete the world. I don't think any funding scheme coming from the EU can be competitive, instead of a job-and-bureaucracy-creation machine.

Europe lacks on marketing, distribution and ability to acquire and lock-in users, fast. This has been the american recipe to success time and again, not the quality of consumer-facing products which has been going downhill for a decade now. We can't bet on EU as a whole to create an ecosystem, instead the best use of EU funds would be for states to run the most basic consumer services for free for their citizens (such as email or a mastodon instance). It will be sub-par but it will at least create an alternative due to the EU's large distribution mechanism.

Maybe in Rust. xsv does predate ripgrep though. Maybe ripgrep was the first one to get really popular though. To be honest, I dunno.

With that said, Go tools were doing this before Rust even hit 1.0 as far as I remember. There was 'sift' and 'pt' for "smarter" greps for example, although I don't think either of them ever fully matured.
Just to be clear, you're listing Google as a counterexample, as a piece of software that was good rather than just marketed as such, right? [ I would accept it as a counterexample. ]
That statistic, by itself, is meaningless. Immigrants have almost double the poverty rate of US natives too.

The point of the parent is not to say "you can't do anything to improve" but that, in general, starting conditions are the major factor deciding how much you can improve. Someone born in a poor family with hard access to education will need to work much more than others born in rich families to reach the same point. Maybe instead of saying "just work hard" to everyone we should also focus on those inequalities so people have the same opportunities to work hard and improve themselves.
Ritalin is not "an amphetamine" but rather a psychostimulant. It's a DEA schedule II regulated drug.

Project Veritas is great at getting low-level scoops and inflating their importance for views. Almost like the mainstream news sources they transparently claim to be "above."

I have family in all of those professions. They're doing fine financially-- some of their kids went to college and some of them continued with the trade.

The biggest difference is the ebb and flow of available work. There were some months which were good, _really_ good, and others which were quite lean. Because of this, budgeting was an important skill to have.
Appeals to "survival of the fittest" piss me off, because they necessarily give up on the idea of improving society. I don't want to replace my ethics and hopes for the world with a barbaric version of pre-history. As a person who wouldn't be alive without corrective glasses and modern medicine, who also considers himself fairly productive, I'm might be a bit biased.

Besides, if you really want the end result of human nature, you'd just get what we have today. Humans are, overall, compassionate for fellow humans. It's why we tend to the sick. Hell, our compassionate nature is so strong we sympathize with sick or disabled animals.
> For one, we lack the imagination and vision to launch something without knowing how it might eventually make money

I don't think there is lack of imagination. The biggest barrier for any person who wants to launch something is: paperwork around establishing a company. In some countries you have to pay every month some amount of money if you want to be a freelancer, in others you need to setup a sole proprietorship, in others the distinction is not that clear. In almost every country in Europe (perhaps with the exception of the UK) the whole process is cumbersome. Young people who are willing to launch some projects online don't want to mess up with taxes authorities nor lawyers nor the commerce chamber... and hence they decide not to launch anything at all. Besides, setting up a company costs money (perhaps not much).

I live in Europe. I don't want to setup a damn company for every little project I may think it can become big. I want to let my projects grow in the wild, and if any of them get traction then sure, I will setup a company without fear of losing money.

Also: being a software engineer/computer programmer in Europe is not as sexy as it is in USA. It's getting better, yes, but here the "engineer" is the last monkey. Managers and sales are the ones who get the credit. So, European mentality also plays a role here.
As far as I recall, it did not do that in Windows 7. I have not used Windows 10 that much.

I didn't know I had ADHD until I was 31. But goddamn when I found out what made me the way I was and was able to get help, my world changed. No longer did I question why I couldn't remember anything or stay focused for longer than 10 minutes. Why I loved my job but seemed to struggle with it.

I took the help, and I feel better for it.

You should at least let them run the tests. What do you have to lose?
