I wonder how much more robust the software we all interact with daily would be, had Ada become the standard systems programming language instead of C and C++.
I would put money in a 401K or IRA that has a real penalty of withdrawing and takes time to withdraw as to deincentivize yourself from spending. Remove yourself from your financial equation. If you have a significant other and they are better with money have them manage both of your finances.

You need to have money removed from your account and into investment accounts automatically before you have a chance to spend it. Money in checking or saving will get spent.
Definitely not everyone, but most people in America can become millionaires (inflation adjusted) within their lifetimes.

Saving $100 per week should be possible for most households today. $100 per week over 40 years with an 8% return is $1.3m.

If you think the market will be slower in the future, or higher inflation, or whatever, use the absurdly conservative 6% and it’ll take 50 years instead of 40.

Add in the possibility of home ownership giving an additional asset to add to the net worth over the investing lifetime, giving an extra few hundred thousand… and in forty years from now, we’re well over $1m in assets, easy.

Getting $100/week might seem daunting, but that’s less than 10% of the median household income — totally within reach of a majority of people with some small changes.
Try olive leaf extract. Toniq with 50% Oleuropein is the way to go. It’s as effective as pharmaceuticals for me without the side effects. One pill in the morning is enough for me. Half a pill in the morning and another half at night would likely be better. Your results may vary, but most people clock a 10-20 point drop.

Considering the majority of CEO pay is in company equity, they are working for themselves.
Well, first and foremost, if I ran a service, I would not want to help either terrorists or pedophiles. I would be very unhappy if I was doing that.

Secondly, if you do provide service to terrorists or pedophiles, and take no steps to stop doing so, law enforcement and society in general is not going to be very happy with you.
Rust has been my favourite language since 2013. I constantly miss its ownership model when working in other languages (which most commonly means JavaScript for me).

Certainly not everything is a good fit for Rust’s ownership model, but honestly most code benefits from it at least a bit, and steadily more and more is being figured out about how to mesh other models into it without too much pain. It’s very liberating, protecting from various mistakes that are too easy in other languages (and that’s specifically where I miss it).

Ownership modelling can require more effort initially if the problem doesn’t match Rust’s capabilities very well (or put another way, if the problem doesn’t match how hardware works without garbage collection), but subsequently it’s liberating to not need to worry about various problems that are ubiquitous in other languages.

I reckon it similar to the debate of static versus dynamic typing, though more subtle. For toys, dynamic typing is adequate and static typing a burden, but as you scale a system up, dynamic typing makes life harder and requires more discipline to avoid ossification or drowning from technical debt. It’s taken time, but there has been a significant resurgence in static typing as people slowly come to realise its value through bitter experience in dynamic typing. Like static typing, a strict ownership model requires more effort initially, but makes life easier down the path, and I expect that at least the basic concepts of it will be picked up in more languages new and old over time (this has started already, actually, with Swift and D springing to mind), though it’s probably a harder concept to beneficially retrofit to a language than static typing.

You may want to mutate and forget about ownership, but Rust doesn’t let you do this, and it’s for your own good ;-). In time you get more of a feeling of why it is the way it is and learn to appreciate it.
Ada is like the exact opposite of "move fast and break things". Ada is more like: think long and hard before writing your first line of code.
That's fair. I think the fan noise consideration is interesting because it's possible (depending on fan and load characteristics) to run the fan more (as in % duty on at "high" speed) and not meaningfully effect the perception enjoyment since it's often the fan noise changing (not the fan noise itself... though obviously this depends on how obnoxious the fan noise) that is annoying, not the fan noise itself.

I don't own any of these consoles, so I can't really say first hand, but for my Xbox One (the og one), I just know that I notice when the fans kick in... and then I just get absorbed into the game (and game noise).

While not everyone’s household has a practical probability to become a millionaire household, I think a quarter of them could without inordinate difficulty (around 10% already have and some of the 90% are well on their way, but are younger households and so have time and growth ahead of them)
One idea is to use some more obscure/techie protocol like Gemini [1] to create a self-selecting group of bloggers that are drawn to and choose to participate in the community, and at the same time keep spammers, commercial interests, and other unwanted influences out.

This isn't financial advice, but what you want is definitely possible with defi and smart contracts. I'm not sure what in the ecosystem has this capability, but there's a good chance you can get a bit of interest too.

Just stay away from USDT if you're planning to have payouts happen over the long term; USDC would be a safer bet.
I guess I never "got it".

What CL development I've done, it was pretty much "reload it and rerun it" in terms of a development cycle. Mind, these were not large programs. But there was enough global, shared state that needed to be reset that, most of the time, a simple tweak to a function wasn't enough to right whatever wrong was involved. And the reloads weren't arduous anyway.

Sure, for "little work", "local work", tweaking a routine, doing simple tests and such in the listener. It was fine. Very quick turn around.

But when fixing something that was larger in scope? Reload it, rerun it.

I also never "got" the restart and condition systems in CL. Part of this is simply my background, today mostly being in Java where production debugging is doing archaeological digs on deep stack traces.

I get restarts in interactive systems. But my systems were not interactive. They were server based systems, processing zillions of requests. I never saw the utility of a restart on a headless system. I could not imagine a connection stuck in a restart just waiting for me to fix it, debug it, correct it, continue it, or abort it. In contrast to just logging the torrid details of the failure and path to it and using the information in a post mortem.

Do folks get 3am phone calls to open up a server and dig through restarts? That never made any sense to me. On paper, it sounds great, I just never saw any realistic way it would ever apply in any of the work that I did.

Are there times it would have been nice to log in to a server, tweak a piece of code, and let it continue on? Changing the tires of a car on the road? Sure. Occasionally.

Mind, that could just be habitual. Since to me it was a novelty, and one unavailable to me, perhaps I simply don't miss it. Yea, it makes sense when hacking deep space probes. But a generic remote web service type of application in production? To me, not so much.

The idea of hot patching a server is amazing and frightening at the same time. How was the patch tested, do you commit it to VC first, before cut and pasting the DEFUN in to the listener, etc.

The same applies to Smalltalk. The idea of sending out an application that faults and drops the user in to a restart and debugger. What can they do with that? Call me up and talk them through it? I'd much rather them send me the log file with a post mortem I could use. I'm sure ST has ways of capturing stack traces in log files, but, casually, nobody talks about it.

So, I'd love to hear stories about what I'm missing. What applications folks were doing that were leveraging these aspects of the CL experience. How they manifest on system with any transaction volume (you know, a few trx per second). How one uses restarts in a web shopping cart in production.

Make no mistake, in Java, with the applications servers, turn arounds can be pretty long. But, similarly, with code structure, units tests, etc. turn around can be very fast. Make a tweak to the code base, repeatedly run an isolated unit test until it works, then run the larger suite to see what else you broke. That can be quite fast. Not "interactive", but...fast. "Close enough".
Without a fully described mechanism to confirm that the client you download is not compiled with additional code (i.e. without specifying exactly how the client is compiled, using which version of which compiler, and which compile flags, dependency versions, etc) any kind of "the code seems to be on github" is kind of meaningless.
It's bothersome that they keep saying 'primary key' in regards to what seems to be an 'access key' relating to a database.

Disappointing to see that it's arstechnica.
To me it is a canary signal that I have the option to self-host.

Most likely, QoS would be better from ente's hosting and I would be inclined to take advantage of that. An open source server can be audited and offer an off-ramp should their service no longer suit me.

Then again, the economics of enabling self-hosted infrastructure are probably less exciting compared to locking users in to marked-up, white-labeled infrastructure.

There are three levers for increasing wealth: increase savings rate, increase income, increase rate of return. For the average person, these are listed in order of difficulty, hence why most personal finance advice starts with increasing your savings rate.

Owning a small business is a chance at increasing rate of return. That's playing personal finance on hard mode for the average person. If you are risk averse, you'll be much better served focusing on increasing your savings rate and income.
Modern smartphones connect to at least three constellations these days (GPS, GLONASS and Galileo), but it‘s indeed become a term used to describe the entire family of technologies. The technical term would be GNSS (global navigation satellite system).
And yet apps that leverage this are quasi absent. The Firefox screen reader widget is good but the voices are limited and the functionality limited to well formatted pages. E-book software seems to not integrate this tech either.

I don't have complete answers, so I only give out solutions that has worked for me:

1. I set up a goal to only have one meal eating out per week and I did it by keeping track of whether I go to a restaurant that day. I used uHabit, an open source ads free android app to help me do this.

2. I also keep a spreadsheet for a certain aspect of my life: electronics and crafting. Each time I buy something craft related, I entered the expense. I have an expense goal that I try to keep it under per month.

These two strategies has allowed me to save me a lot of money and sometime I would go on for months without spending much money at all.

Also, it is likely that your spending habit is an emotional problem, not a discipline issue. I think it may be prudent to talk to a mental health professional.
It's hard to give any advice on this until you detail the problem you're trying to solve. For example:

Tell that to Plato.

Honestly I think that's a continuous claim, and comes down to differences in understanding. I can certainly have 7 of some object, does the 7-ness exist in the collection? Not really, but what about another phenomenon: colour? An object appears blue, and we say it is blue, and the blueness is due to physics, but it's a subjective delineation. A table is a delineation too, the leg is part of the table and the White House is not. In some sense, the table-ness category is just as real as the 7-ness category.

Of course you could just say that all that actually exists is some collection of particles/fields, but then you've abused all the words we're using until they stop being useful.

"Rich Dad Poor Dad" also made a similar point: you should look at what your advisor is doing, rather than taking their advice. If your financial advisor suggests a mutual fund, ask them if they themselves invest in it.
I've read Ramit's book and Tony Robbins' book. Both mention entrepreneurship. The latter mention taxes. Don't really see the big lie here.

I'm most familiar with Ramit's work but he's also pretty clear that there's only so far you can go through savings but no upper bound on earnings.

It seems to me a bit like a strawman argument he's making when in fact some (or all) of the other gurus do talk about entrepreneurship and earning more.
Adult Literacy in the United States (2019)
The variance in potential outcomes of holding VOO is much, much lower than the variance of holding crypto.

Buying VOO buys a share of the profits of the work of many millions of people. It also speculates that other people will continue to want to buy those profits.

Buying a token only speculates that more people will want to buy that particular token. It's much harder to project that people will continue to want it.
For a business owner this guy sure doesn’t understand much about market economics. Those gurus made their money by appealing to average people. In no way is it possible for a majority of that audience to all start successful businesses. So while a lot of what he says is technically true, and these gurus might be encouraging a lot of wishful thinking and fantasy, the authors message is likely to be a lot more misleading at scale if half the country all started businesses with the hope of getting rich.

That’s self evident. The encryption is between the ends. Allowing unencrypted intercontinental links is a total non-sequitur.

You know where the ends are. As I said, you always have something between you and the ‘end’, and you always have to trust someone.

Whether something is E2E or not is completely independent from whether you trust your software.

> This is the same indirect reasoning as "people like what they used first", which in my case is provably, objectively, false.

It's more like someone at some point stops being open to change, which allows some breathing room, but eventually they'll prefer to stick to what they know rather than having to learn something new. This isn't a value judgement, just that when something works and feels right to someone why would they feel the need to try something else just for the sake of trying it?

I use vim. Most people don't and would argue it's bad user experience as it's not intuitive. What's intuitive for text editing is largely just based on convention, though. I think vim is a great user experience because it allows me to edit text much more efficiently. It's entirely possible the text editor Kakoune would be even better than vim at doing the whole modal editor thing, but I do not care to find out. It took me some time to learn and get comfortable with vim and I don't see much value in going with the new thing even if it potentially has real upsides.

When it comes to UX/UI design, you'll certainly find plenty of conventions that are broadly agreed upon. Most people would find it difficult to read yellow text on a white background for example so that would be considered bad UI. But in the case of GUI design like determining how much shadow there is beneath a 'button' element or what color links should be and if that color is distinguishable is pretty subjective and a part of that comes down to convention rather than an innate preference in humans.

So first suggestion is that it sounds like you could benefit from talking to a therapist. You're self-sabotaging, and it sounds like you know that, and this is a super, super common, normal behavior that a therapist will likely be able to help you talk through.

As for money advice:
Can you automate some saving, and have that happen before your money hits your bank account? E.g. if your workplace offers a 401k, you should definitely be maxing that out, and that means your employer will save that money before you have access to it, and doing that for long enough will set you up for retirement even if you mis-manage the rest of your pay.

If you can set up more systems like that, you should! You may be able to set up an after-tax account at fidelity or vanguard or similar that automatically gets a portion of your paycheck deposited in, and you can set it up to automatically buy stocks/bonds/reits on a regular schedule. That money would still be accessible, but you'd have to sell your investments and wait a few days to transfer into a checking account, which might be enough friction to help keep it saved.

The funniest demonstration that I watched was at the computer museum at the University of Stuttgart (it's just a single room, but it contains a lot of history!). The guide took an old, butchered radio that was reduced to a coil attached to a speaker and put on top of the front panel of a PDP-8. Then he started a Fortran compiler, which would take several seconds to complete. During that time, the radio made kind if hideous digital beeping noises from the CPU's EMV radiation that got picked up by the coil inside. You could easily learn to distinguish different compiler phases and tell whether the program made progress. The guide explained that this was a common way for operators back in the day to keep track of the jobs they were running while taking care of other tasks: were they still running? Did they get stuck? Did the job complete and is it time for the next one? Some inventive guys figured out that when you wrote certain instruction sequences, the EMV noise would become tonal and the pitch could even be tuned to some extent. That got them to write programs which would compute nonsense, but when you picked up the EMV emissions, you would hear music! The museum guide ran a few of these programs to our great amusement :).

I've yet to see this mentioned - or demonstrated - anywhere else.
I used to volunteer my time to a very major forum software. Tapatalk at the time had a very strange business model of having a plug-in/add-on that was free to the forum owner but charged for the app that the end user used. This was, even at the time, traditionally backwards from the current user interaction model: path of least resistance to engagement. It was unpopular among forum admins as they would rather buy a license for it like you would with vBulletin, Xenforo, Invision Power Board - including the people who ran open source ones like phpBB, SMF, et al.

While I understand Tapatalk have changed their business model since then, the damage was already done as the Facebook started to wholesale eat forums’ lunch as far as userbase. The biggest problem is that we never turned forum interactions into a protocol like we did with at the application level (smtp/pop, http, irc, xmpp) or on top of http like RSS, podcasts, or just plain, standardized REST APIs. This could have enabled multiple clients (like browsers) to appear and may have prevented facebooks swift dominance with online communities.

Everyone wanted to own their forum’s experience, but this stubbornness caused the fiction for users to sign up to be greater and greater. Platforms like Disqus attempted to solve this by creating an embeddable service to just drop comments in a context like a blog post, but this ultimately gave users almost no value it they were just in a shouting match against bots with generic messages laden with spam.

Facebook unified the experience for users, where the user could, with an account+app that they already had, browse and join groups and engage in discussions and become apart of communities in a way that forums could not possibly compete with.
