your self reward mechanism changes, as well as the problems youre solving in your 20s are generally new problems to you.

Once you have been coding for 10+, 20+ years you'll come to realise that there is a repeating set of problems you're solving. I haven't seen a truely new problem in a long time. Granted the predominate code I write is for corporate web apps.

But starting out in my 20s everything was new and fun. The reward for solving a thing, or shipping a feature felt great. Now its just one of many features I have shipped that are all more or less the same.

Also another big factor I think is I am significantly more productive now than when I was in my 20s. I would have had to work 80+ hours back then to keep up with myself now

Following on from my other reply...

When we start teaching math to students, we start with counting blocks: "You have 2 piles of blocks, one pile of 3 and another pile of 2. If you put them together, you get a pile of 5 blocks!"

That stops working as well when you deal with fractions. You can get away with 2.5 blocks, but 2.5 blocks is really 3 blocks, but one is a little smaller than the others. And at some point you can't use blocks to represent 2.3456 blocks. So you need different kinds of "natural" problems to represent those numbers.

But, as you point out. There are some things that aren't really representable as "natural problems". For a long time the idea of 0 wasn't natural. (People were actually killed for talking about the idea of 0) I mean, what does it mean to have 0 chickens? You either have some chickens, and you say "I have N chickens", or you don't have any chickens and you say nothing. Why would you need a number to represent nothing?

Maybe n^2.1 doesn't have a natural explanation. At least, not one you can hold in your hand. Can you imagine a shape with 2.1 dimensions to relate it to geometry? Probably not. But you can use geometry to prove that n^(a+b) = n^a * n^b and then you can apply those rules to "unnatural values" with an understanding of what is happening. The natural explanation of n^2 can be applied to the unnatural idea of n^2.1

Everything in math can't be understood with geometry or "natural examples", lots of math (most of math?) describes things that are not representable within the constraints of our physical world. That's what makes it so powerful!

Also, not everything in math can just be calculated (see: irrational numbers)
The thing is, mathematicians understand how cool and important it is, and that's enough. You can't really explain it to someone else -- it's like trying to explain how cool and important a piece of music is to a deaf person who doesn't know music. They see the conductor waving and say "well, that's boring." All you can do is explain "there is a whole world of beauty and meaning there. I'm sorry you can't experience it, but it's there."
To me it was sometime in high school Physics class that math started to have any semblance of utility to solving actual problems. But by that time most students had already been bored to death with years of the most obtuse memorization and test passing behaviors that it was all lost. Even then Physics was mostly a blizzard of formulas with absolutely minimal explanation and application. The exams were basically "cram as many of the formulas in the book as you can onto a single sheet of paper and then plug and play during the exam".

I did not do well in either set of subjects in K-12 -- even to the point that my graduation from high school was threatened. In college I forced by way back through it all by sheer force of will and got my A's.

There's something fundamentally broken in math/science pedagogy as these subjects aren't really all that difficult. There's far too much time spent memorizing things that are trivial to look up and way too little time understanding how to use them.

An analogy might be learning to cook, and spending all of your time remembering precisely how many spoons, bowls, cups, and cloves of garlic or other ingredients you have. And doing that kind of thing for years, and maybe seeing a demo once of pouring water into a cup. And tests might contain problems like "a party of 5 is coming over for dinner, are you able to set places for all attendees for a 7 course meal?"

The real message being sent is this: "Sorry kids, actually cooking from recipes is only for academics, and to get your PhD and be allowed into the hallowed halls of these academic cooks you must come up with one original recipe (edibility will be determined by peer review)".

In college I retook everything from Algebra up and found the math pedagogy focused more on symbolic manipulation and getting used to how that works in each subject rather than drilling arithmetic in various guises. Tests that required various pre-derived formula were usually just an open book problem. And what mattered was how one went about solving the problem, not the rightness or wrongness of it. Calculators were absolutely expected so you didn't waste time fighting with trivial mistakes.

The sciences usually had a mandatory lab portion that forced application of math to the problem space. Because the labs typically had you collecting your own measurements, it forced you to work through the calculations yourself anyways since there was nowhere else to look up the answer. Again the methods and approaches were where the grade came from, not the slavery to memorization.

Still, while I think the approach I encountered in college was much better than grade school, it still wasn't as good as it could be.

A first pass at that would be a CO2 dosimeter.

Because humans breathe out CO2, and if the ventilation in the area is poor relative to the number of humans inside of it, then you will get a higher concentration of CO2, and thus you would also be more likely to have a higher concentration of viruses and other substances that can be airborne.

Just because you have high CO2 doesn’t necessarily mean that you have high concentrations of the virus particles that could cause a COVID infection, but there is a high correlation, and high CO2 is bad for you in plenty of other ways as well.

So, yes please — give me a cheap, portable, badge-like way of measuring my exposure to high levels of CO2!

I'm not GP, but for me it's not about physical exhaustion, but a mental fatigue. I still can get in the zone and spearhead something for 8-10 hours non-stop, but afterwards I'm feeling super lazy, like not wanting to think about anything, e.g. doing something purely mechanical.
Python needs to be compiled into machine language to ever have a chance of competing on speed. We can already get around the GIL with multiprocess but Python is still to slow even when not bound by copying memory between processes.
The concept of ‘pixel’ is only about 45 years old, and wasn’t even a concept in the age of type.

If you look at the anatomy of the retina or the physiology of the early visual system you’ll see that the concept of “pixel” doesn’t even really make sense in that context.

My schedule was roughly similar a bit ago when I was ~20/21; I did my work and then spent the rest of the day working on random side projects.

Now at 25, it would take some major financial incentive to do so. I would rather do literally anything else that doesn't involve a computer screen.

I am healthier and happier now that I do things other than code, and I'm thankful that I found other hobbies early on. I'm sorta "burnt out" in that regard, although I still like programming for work.

(Once more thing I might put in the list of "not a big-O improvement but a rearrangement that made new things possible" is an essentially economic observation Google and others made: once you're planning to serve enough queries/sec, putting unreasonable-sounding quantities of data into expensive storage (like much of your Web search index in RAM) starts to make sense. I saw it referred to as "online data-intensive" at https://perspectives.mvdirona.com/2012/03/power-management-o... and linked papers but don't know if it has a more common name.)
Nope. There does not exist any newspaper that is even pretending to be unbiased. All you can do is sample news from a variety of different sources -- I've found foreign news is often the best coverage of US events, and in general to be much more professional. There is the famous line by Ben Rhodes:

"The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns. That’s a sea change. They literally know nothing."

The quality of US news rooms has really collapsed, as they were hit hard by the internet and especially craigslist, whereas some foreign sources have maintained their staff and have higher professional standards. French news is pretty good, IME. I also follow news in eastern europe.
True, there are multiple methods for transmitting the viral particles in question, but contact transmission would require that you actually come into contact with the surface in question. I don’t know what the exact numbers are, but I believe that contact transmission is considered fairly rare for COVID.

Moreover, having a partial solution to the problem is better than no solution at all.

I think it’s super naive to assume that users actually want any of that crap. If your sign up process was pick a username, optionally enter an email and/or phone for account recovery, and a default unchecked box labeled “and also email me about product updates” what percentage users do you think you would actually check that box? I’d put money on less than 5%.

I uncheck every one of those boxes and still have to deal with companies spamming me despite my intent. I even made a little Apps Script that marks every message with a specific label as spam so I can feel petty and maybe hurt their deliverability.
Doesn't sound too mind boggling to me.

Another advantage: the results of additions no longer depend on the operation order. Converting floats to such ints helped me remove nondeteminism from a large pipeline that did additions over large sets of numbers.

You can fault the mother for thinking maybe if she never gave her son a computer a different outcome may have occurred? I see nothing of the generalization you accuse the mother of making, only a mother asking what wouldn't have allowed the eventual outcome she observed and we've now read about. Consider that the mother might simply be saying, "I wish reality had gone differently" but adding outcome specific details to say so. Of all the events in the casual chain, the alteration of many of them could have led to a better or worse outcome but the gift of the computer seems salient. I imagine most parents with children that die in car accidents question the gifting of a car. Doesn't mean they think cars are to blame, just fruitless, useless wishing that things had gone better.

How is the GIL different from atomics in other languages? There are many cases where atomics are useful.

One example would be incrementing a counter for statistics purposes. If the counter is atomic, and the reader of the value is ok with a slightly out of date value, it's fine. If code is doing this in GIL Python, it's working now, and will break after the GIL is removed.

They can leave, sure. I don't think they have a right to "threaten" anyone, and they certainly don't have a right to strike, not being in a union or even trying to form a union.

They could however form a union first and demand a labor contract in which every Netflix employee has the right to veto content shown on Netflix. Then they could go on strike if the union fails to agree on a contract, saying that this "right to deplatform" is a non-negotiable demand.

That is the equivalent of what is going on here, which should explain why the rest of the world thinks this is a terrible idea. Anyways, good luck with that.
For me it was the realization that my employer didn’t really care if I worked 40 or 80 hours a week but my family sure did.
I’m wildly more effective at my current 18 hrs/week than I ever was at 100. Part of that is experience and maturity. Part of that is the nature of diminishing returns.
But we're talking about drastic differences in memory and CPU usage, not minor differences.
Modern x86 CPUs have micro instr caches to store small loops (about 50 instr) and medium loops (~2k instr). Also, the bottleneck is usually the instruction decoding (Alder Lake made huge changes on that, so this might change).

In other words, loop unrolling is, more often than not, harmful.

I don't think the goal is to "compete on speed", but I'm sure people wouldn't complain about their Python scripts running 15x faster on their 16 core CPU.

And it is also about flexibility. What I love about Python is the simplicity, and let's be honest, multiprocess anything but. Especially if you fall into one of the gotchas (unpickable data for example).
I’m far more productive now than I was at 20. But let’s say there is a human equivalent to tech debt and as you get older, those bad habits and shortcuts have cumulative effects.

Even the 2009 incident you're referring to is not really a denial. He is quite careful to neither explicitly endorse it nor deny it. My guess is that he actually is quite on board with evolution, but did not want to alienate a huge chunk of his electorate, who are, in fact, evolution deniers. This segment has been declining in relevance over last decade, hence my comment, that accusing Republicans of being evolution denialists is rather outdated, as that was a Bush-era thing.
At least on mobile, I don’t see any call for action (or “are you a company? get relevant candidates by adding your company stack - click here”). Also without clear data on page views, the pricing is hard to evaluate (if it’s a bargain or a rip off, all based on your average page views for a given geography). I probably want to pay by impressions / clicks, not a flat fee that I have no clue if anyone would ever see me in any search results. Sorry for the “jargonese” but the value metric (impressions / candidates contacting you) doesn’t match the pricing (flat). This needs some work before I’d put my money on it.
So, randomly I come across this right after I setup my Framework laptop for Arch. Funny thing is, I also transitioned from a 1st gen X1 Extreme.

It's sort of interesting trying to analyze why we couldn't when we were 23 or so. For me, I may have been talented, but I certainly wasn't effective. The reason was almost entirely because I didn't think carefully about the tasks I took on. "Get it done" was the mindset, not "Should I do this?"
