I wasn't comparing it to Unix. I was just responding to the parent that Windows 10 had many improvements over 7 and I would not want to go back?

I also enjoy Windows as a development platform quite a bit. It has made me a LOT of money in the last two decades so I can't complain. I like Linux a lot too, no need to only like one or the other.

As trite as it sounds, "Success = Hard Work + Opportunity" is still the default equation that makes the most sense to me.

And while people from all strata of life work very hard, opportunities are obviously and incredibly unequally distributed (and perhaps becoming more so?).

If you were born middle-class in US/Canada 20 - 40 years ago, your access to opportunities to improve your station were/are immense. Layer on your ethnicity, if your parents were in a stable relationship, if you grew up in relative safety, if you had a decent education... hard not to think that your opportunities were 10x or 100x someone who had none of those things.

But you also need to define "success". To this crowd, is "success" merely "leading a better life"? I'd argue most of us already have this as our default reality. I.e. the gradual reward for working hard via promotions and relative safety of career.

I remember after my startup was acquired, a few people would say to me (well-meaning obviously) "wow it's great your hard work paid off!". And I just said something like "thanks, ya, lots of people work a lot harder than me but didn't get the same outcome - so there was a lot of luck involved too!" etc. Even thinking of my own immigrant grandparents - what THEY did was HARD.

I think about those exchanges often. Tech -- at this particular moment in history -- disproportionately rewards "hard work" (which many of us find fun anyways). Or perhaps better to say that Tech provides access to the right kind of opportunities that allow for a DEFAULT "life gets better", with the possibilities of "life suddenly gets 100x better".
So you would never stay in a beach house, lake house, or mountain lodge? Also in urban environments, the locations of private houses are sometimes much better: near parks, neighborhoods, restaurants, etc.
It’s a rewording of a Steve Jobs quote (not sure where, if anywhere, he got it from). Essentially it means rather than find reasons to disengage, get out and do something to help promote positive change. If everyone does this, then there’s you’re aggregate.
> On the other hand I don't think you ever in the history had as wide opportunities as you do now

There were periods in history with great opportunities where many people actually really richer. Economies always went up and down, where up literally means opportunities.
A better comparison would be the price per square foot. The median rent today buys a MUCH larger (and nicer) house than it did in 1968. The average house in the US has increased by 1,000 square feet in the last 50 years. https://www.aei.org/carpe-diem/new-us-homes-today-are-1000-s...
> Right, but would that have helped? Transitioning a large codebase from Python2 to Python3 is a significant undertaking, there's no way around it.

I haven't migrated from python2->3 however I've worked on projects in both. I think a "python2+3" version would have helped. With both APIs in place new code can be written the new way and old code can be migrated as it is touched. Having the ability to incrementally change code I think encourages the transition since you won't end up with a pile of broken code.
If they had used that telemetry to realise that maybe just maybe people tended to use the same mode and it might be an idea to store it and reapply it on launch then I could see a point to the telemetry. But they aren't even using it to solve the problems their users have, it is just data collection for collections sake if the applications aren't improving!

So can you explain how "American conservative propaganda" leads to things like 996 culture in China?

Or is it possible that "success follows hard work" is more of a universal human belief that has existed outside of the narrow window of domestic politics that you became aware of in the last 5 years?

Those pew links are certainly surprising with respect to Christian tolerance for premarital sex, but with respect to alcohol I should have been more clear that I was talking about binge drinking. In whichever case, the fact that half of Christians disapprove of premarital sex still makes it unlikely that the default is Christian (especially considering I suspect those attitudes represent a relatively recent shift, probably due in large part to influence on Christian attitudes by pop culture for several decades).

Anecdotally, I also ran this past my wife and a few friends and the consensus was pretty unanimous that the default character since at least the early 90s was secular. I did a little Googling for something more authoritative but couldn't find anything. It's an interesting question in any case.
While this is indeed a terrible thing, I fail to see a strong correlation to the fact that the attacker entered the building due to the keys being at the counter. That is a possible reason along a million more, such as the fact that the attacker could force the door's lock, get someone else from the building (an accomplice?) to give him illegal access.

Pointing the blame at Airbnb therefore feels odd. Things like these can also happen (and they do, probably even more often) at your own place, and would you sue your landlord if so? Whether these things are more probable to happen at Airbnb is also a very hard thing to prove. IMO your own place might be riskier as an attacker can study your routine over time, which opens up more security holes.

These type of attacks are probably outside anyone's control and I don't think the Airbnb places have an implicit responsibility to ensure a higher level of security than you have at your own place (it can be a Airbnb luxe feature, though?)
Kudos to this product. Also for a minute I thought this was making a comeback :)

ADHD diagnosis didn’t help me live a better life, it helped me live a normal life.

During college and my first job, I was constantly stressed and depressed from my terrible productivity. I couldn’t even bring myself to do things I wanted to do —- the only thing that mattered was the next dopamine hit. I made so many goals and failed every single one, and with each failure I blamed myself even more. The problem with having ADHD is that it causes you to procrastinate on getting the diagnosis in the first place! In the end, I had to accept that “just try harder” isn’t a valid strategy.

OP, I know my experience isn’t similar to yours at all, but just know that mental illness treatment almost always helps you reach your goals, and don’t procrastinate on it.
> The original intent of the patent system was to give inventors a leg up to commercialize their idea before they can be bullied out of the market by large competitors.

I disagree that this was originally or should be currently the sole goal of the patent system. The purpose of patents is "to promote the progress of useful arts". As in, the patent system should assist in making the invention useful, public, and widely available. The patent system should not exist to promote the individual interests of companies, though that might be a necessary side effect.

Frankly, the idea that an invention should remain behind a paywall even though it is no longer being developed or commercialized does not seem like a good system to me. It seems like a system designed to protect the patent holder over the public.

> I don't really understand why there really aren't any reputable companies in the Android e-ink tablet space, and I also don't understand why Google themselves seem to have absolutely no interest in Android for this use case.

Just guessing, but maybe they did the market research and the audience isn’t big enough. After all, e-ink devices are primarily for consuming large amounts of text, and most peoples’ reading these days is short form, multimedia content (articles, blogs, lists, slideshows, social media posts, explainer videos, etc.) which is better suited to existing phones and tablets.

I’m still among those who read book-length content, but far less than I did in years past. I’d say the actual number of words I read every year has gone up, but the number of 300+ page books I read has gone down.

The upside is, I’m much more selective about the books I do read and mostly only read excellent ones.
8 Criteria for Making a Runbook
Meanwhile I work hard and I haven't had a vacation in 3 years.

Also my wage sucks too, and I'm a programmer. In my country I believe being in politics would help me way more than working hard. Working hard doesn't help anyone.
I think the point of the question is, that we as a society try to sell the plumber's kid on the idea that everyone gets where they are through hard work and therefore deserves what they have. But the millionaire's kid can coast into a life that the plumber's kid could likely only achieve by incredible luck combined with hard work. In light of that, the idea of the millionaire's kid deserving what they have is called into question.
Obviously people should do what they can to improve their situation. If someone is living in poverty, they should do what they can to get out of it.

But we're being fundamentally dishonest if we end the conversation there. People who are born poor have to work much harder to get out of it. Mistakes or misfortune that wouldn't be a big deal for someone in the middle class can be catastrophic for the poor. Ignoring that doesn't help anyone.

The point isn't "what do we teach our children?" The point is "how do we make society better for everyone?" And the individual view does not help with the latter.

Man, I got the thing because I wanted to use it as an ebook and document reader, but it's totally failed at that for me. I spent hours working on a decent system for getting books on the thing and came up empty. I think it would be good for reading and taking notes on academic papers, but I mostly read books, and I couldn't figure out how to get most books on there. A lot of this is Amazon's fault for kindle being a proprietary format, but a lot of it is also the non-Amazon e-book community for failing to provide solutions that are as user friendly as Amazon is.

Edit: But yeah, I love the hardware. It just isn't functional enough for me to use it regularly, which is a bummer.
I was raised to believe certain truths, such as hard work and sacrifice pays off. It's guided much of my life, from pursuing education, building a career, settling down and starting a family. I couldn't imagine what my life would be if I had believed that I am incapable of changing the circumstances of my being. It would be incredibly hard to live in an arbitrary society. That would likely lead me to the idea of nihilism.
Scott Galloway quotes his immigrant dad as saying "America is a hard place to be stupid."

It should be obvious that you need to work hard and work hard on the right thing.

For example you can "work hard" to get a degree which is not valuable and make no economic gain, or you can work hard to get an engineering degree and go from poverty to 1% in a few years.

I met an immigrant Uber driver who had got a janitorial job at a university, because it allowed him to go to business school for free. He worked "as hard" as any other janitor who Ubered on the side, but at the end of it he'll walk away with a Columbia MBA. I am not worried about this guys' ability to become wealthy.

But you do need to use your brain and hustle a bit if you want to go from nothing to something. This is why immigrant can do it - because they come to the US knowing they have to do it.
Do they account for weight? This reads like marketing material, not science.

> Yes, GDP has been going up for a long time in many countries, and so the "average wealth" of each generation is going up.

GDP does not correlate to "average wealth" and is itself a dubious measure for economic progress depending on what figures you pick to calculate it.

Also, no matter what metric you use, the "average wealth" of the younger generations, particularly millennials, is not in fact higher than their predecessors. The level of their productivity is a historical high point, but this is infamously contrasted by stagnating wages, assets, and by some metrics even overall quality of life.
What is the use of wealth, if not to increase one's quality of life?
Have been taking Strattera for a few months and wonder how many years of my life I would have not wasted if I had been diagnosed with ADHD earlier in my life.

I just turned 40 and I never thought I had ADHD until recently. Before I just thought my lack of attention on things was just the price of being a 10X on productivity (and I was a little arrogant because of it).

The reality was that I chose to put my time on tasks that I found interesting and engaging and when that choice was not available, I would feel anxious, stuck and totally unfocused. Still, I thought that was just normal procrastination that everybody goes through.

Some changes in my life and goals limited my time to act and required me to be more focused, but instead of getting into action I got more stuck than ever and very anxious as the deadlines got closer and got missed.

Treating my ADHD helped me change my relationships for better and widened the possibilites in my work and I would recommend to anybody in the same situation.
There is no need to be embarrassed about using print commands for debugging. Tried and true method for many decades.

Suggestion: find a problem you want to solve, some small project or fun hack. And just do it. Every time you get stuck, go to google and search for the answer.

I've always wondered that in a theoretical pure market economy where success ultimately leads to domination of one or more competitors, and failure for everyone else, will always result in a more restrictive market economy afterwards.

Apple succeeded (and almost died first, I know, I was there at the time) in integrating hardware and software and Google succeeded in building a better search engine and dominating ads, plus buying Android, yet today there are basically no alternatives to iPhones and Android phones, and search is still majorally dominated by Google. Economically speaking, the market economy allowed them to become dominant in their categories. If you throttle competition to avoid mono/duopolies, do you throttle success for everyone? If you clamp down after successful domination, does that really increase competition? Is there a balance somewhere, or is this basically always going to happen?
Fellow European here - at least in Poland it is virtually impossible to get diagnosed as an adult, and there is very little knowledge of ADHD among mental health prpfessionals.

ADHD affects around 5% population, as various studies have shown. In Poland we have virtually 0% adults diagnosed an on treatmnt, and I don’t know a single therapist that wI could confidently recommend to a person seeking diagnosis/treatment. (And I looked and asked around a lot).

By comparison, in SF there is a dedicated clinic for adult ADHD, not to mention therapists aware of such thing.

In the UK traditionally we would tip at Christmas. We would put an envelope with cash on top of the can, or better to catch the bin men in the act.

This was when they used to come onto your property with your own bins, so you saw them more. Now you have to use provided bins and leave them by the kerb so they probably get less.
And therefore, is it true that what he says is not true?
There was an odd period of time between roughly 1820 and 1970 where economic and industrial growth outpaced loans and other passive financial products in both stability of returns and rate of returns. This period minted many wealthy individuals as well as a large middle class as starting position matters less if GDP is growing at 5-10% consistently.

This isn't to say that starting position doesn't matter, I'm sure most of the vanderbuilts are still doing reasonably well.

When interest rates and returns on labor are low it becomes difficult to get ahead by either working smart or hard for the majority of individuals.

Even in the tech sector, the most lucrative approach is to simply work with a dominant firm. Founders/Employees give up too much equity and have too little cash flow to compete.

Taken to the extreme this economy looks more like a feudal economy of court jesters, peasants, and lords then the proto-industrial economies Adam Smith wrote about.

I think parent means a General Purpose language, i.e. capable of computations.

Personally, on one hand I know allowing computations into configuration immediatly destroys any hope of having a tidy, rational schema in real word projects.

On the other hand though, i do believe configuration and code should be build with related tools, possibly the same tool- or at least tools using the same syntax!

(a bit like the json syntax is the same as a Python dict syntax, except this is the terrible example that is so poorly thought out that does more harm than good)

>> And yet today, I hear so many stories about 30 year olds with masters degrees who are still living with their parents because they can't afford to rent a studio.

Part of the problem here is a different problem -- the concentration of jobs in super high cost metro areas, and often also, the NIMBYism that prevents such high cost metro areas from building more housing to address demand.

There are so many affordable studios to rent. And so many jobs, and sadly they aren't co-located...

Sure that's a factor, but people discount how much 1940-1980 was a historical anomaly for the US.
Virtually every advanced industrial economy with which we competed had their industrial base leveled and colonial empires in full retreat. They then spent 1950s-1970s rebuilding.
Then China came online as an industrial power in the 1980s-2000s. By 2000 the scale of competition on cost and/or quality with our industrial might was at a scale we had not seen in generations.
So? Software demand is driven by the tasks software need to solve. Whether those tasks involve human interaction or not is surely irrelevant for the demand for software?

> Plumber sends his kids to community college and all that.

This is precisely the wrong model, one which accepts that there is no guarantee of equal opportunity. You're describing a promise almost as unworkable as the promise of heaven: if you're born poor, and you do everything well in life, your grandchildren's grandchildren will have a chance to enjoy the good life!

That is not what a democratic free society should mean.

Cue has a unique lattice type system that allows you to refine a property from type->constraint->value, but does not allow you override an existing value (or change it in any way that conflicts with the existing type/constraints).

In my view, this is the insight and value proposition that sets cue apart from everything else, including general programming languages.

Inheritance + property overriding is the source of most problems in configuration because you can never know if a value is the source of truth.

Most likely by tying a bag with an envelope inside to the handle of the trash can. Or you can just run up to them if they come by at a reasonable time.
