It's unfortunate that we human beings are still controlled by our ancient instincts. Our lives are modern now, but our basic motivators and judgment criteria are rooted deep in our brain.

"Women finding tattooed men healthier and better at parenting" is similar to "men finding women with big breasts and hips better at procreating". Both are rooted in the evolutionary processes that drive us to reproduce as many copies of us as possible. Huge industries depend on this central core of our behavior (fashion and modeling, porn, etc.) We may not be always aware of it consciously, but these basic motives within us shape almost everything we do. Our whole life story basically is to reproduce, and evolution guides us to find the best match who will generate good results (children). This is why a beautiful girl on the street catches our attention even when we're not thinking about reproducing at the moment. Sure, there are errors in our judgment about the "best" match, but evolution corrects those in aggregate.

I've many times repeated this: F#$k evolution. It's the reason we often can't have a nice conversation with an attractive person without constantly thinking about sleeping with them, and it's the reason we spend so much of our time and energy (both finite) on porn and soft-porn (tik tok, instagram, etc.)
Don't be afraid to experiment, but "partying" should be kept to a minimum and only for socializing. Also, avoid debt as much as you realistically can. If you're taking out loans for school, don't be afraid to pick up a flexible part time job doing retail or waiting tables (this helped me keep my student loans much lower than they could have been).

Google's greed /s
Hire a trainer and learn how to weightlift. You may have been a nerd like me that thought weight lifters were wasting time on vanity, but as you age your body will betray you. You need to learn how to stay fit or you will end up with myriad health issues and end up unhappy.

A trainer is essential for a new lifter. It is easy to hurt yourself, and you need to work on good form for years before it becomes second nature. You will look good (you won't look like a meathead), feel good, and your bones and heart will stay strong into middle age as your peers get fat and unhealthy.
Evil/Doom never really clicked for me and I went back to Neovim because of it. There were always gotcha's or packages that didn't have evil support and the when the walls broke down it was kinda clunky. Now that you can script Vim with Lua (or Python/Ruby) I don't really think I care too much about Emacs' infinite extensibility.
This is often called "suspension of disbelief" and is an integral part of becoming immersed in some forms of art. When you watch a movie, for instance, you know that none of it every really happened. You probably can guess the tricks they used to create the visuals. But constantly reminding yourself of that fact tends to ruin the illusion and the fun.
Well, apparently they do need to look at the screen :)
Alt-x does the very same in Emacs. Every available command with tab completion and with the keyboard shortcut listed. I think showing the shortcut is new.

If you are not familiar what a particular command does you can use C-h f <function-name> to open the help page.

I think Emacs is really easy to learn after you get a handle of the navigation keys. Which you might already be familiar with from shell.
I know, that's why it's misleading and it should not be considered. A quick reader will think that "using getElementById will save me 32ms", but it'd be off by several orders of magnitude.
Crunches builds abdominal muscle but body weight is affected only by cardio.
Unlike the concrete-and-glass boxes, it makes you feel things, which is already a plus in my book.
> Your email. Your Instagram. Your Twitter. Your phone number. Your bank account.

These are identifiers, backed by accounts with credentials.

> If you invert that and say that your identity is no longer mediated by any specific entity, or array of entities, it is mediated by a provably neutral public infrastructure that is completely opt in and costs only the amount that is proportional to your usage.

What value does this have for your email provider? Instagram or Twitter? The phone company? The bank?

All of these companies provide value _through_ the identifier. Checking accounts and Credit cards issued by the bank. The phone number. Your handle on Instagram or Twitter.

Many of these need to have an idea of a real-world identity for regulatory reasons. For account recovery actions. For effective enforcement of abuse bans.

What about this off switch? Even if I show up with my own identifier - twitter can still refuse to post my messages. My bank could block access to my funds.

This vision seems to be able replacing these businesses with new businesses and new infrastructure.

I too miss the good old days before the FDA was established. If a person taking a lethal snakeoil medicine dies, he has only himself to blame (posthumously).

The vaccine is an effective method to return to the status quo, AKA not being in a global pandemic / public health crisis.

Any time you have a contagious outbreak of anything (for example, outbreaks of any of the many other things we require the general public to vaccinate against) you see very similar measures taken to contain and eradicate it: isolating & controlling an area's ingress/egress, required quarantines, mandated vaccinations (when they're available) and/or widespread, repeated negative tests and a reduction in spread before returning to a "status quo".

This vaccine (and other infectious control methods) are an existing, by-the-book response to an epidemic-turned-pandemic disturbing the status quo. The Supreme Court ruled [1] way back in 1905 that it was lawful to punish and "infringe upon personal freedoms" of those who refuse a vaccination during a public health crisis. This is nothing new.

Therapy - learn how you think, learn where your blind spots, implicit assumptions, and tendencies are. Learn this before you learn you need it.

Exercise - helps you think better, helps you feel better, helps you emotionally. Find something you like doing - I do power lifting and yoga - and get in the habit of doing it daily.

Explore - odds are your career isn’t really going to take off until your late 20s at the earliest, because frankly until then you’re just not going to be very good. Spend the time to learn everything you can from everyone you can and try anything you can - experience now pays dividends later. Accept that you’re young and inexperienced, be humble, don’t pretend you know what you’re doing when you don’t, and you’ll come out of this decade miles ahead of where you start.

Oh, and - you’ve got 60 years ahead of you, statistically speaking. Probably no more, probably no less. Plan accordingly.
Pyright is the best thing I've ever added to my Python workflow. It's nuts how productive you can be with a good type checker and completions.
So let’s say there’s 50 commits in a short time between good and bad. Of those 50 there’s a few that are “maybes”. Bisect is completely useless
I wouldn’t be surprised if they do. Australia is desperate for foreign skilled labour and I am sure Japan and New Zealand are similar. You will need to wait till early 2022 for easy entry into any of these places.

Start writing things down. If you have a terrible memory like me you might regret not documenting more of your life, especially because so many things happen in your 20s. I've started a weekly journal in my 30s and I'm so happy that I did.

It's also worth doing the same for things at work. Having a few stories written down about features you've implemented or bugs you've fixed may help you get through a few interviews.
Body weight is affected mostly by what you eat. Muscle mass from lifting is a great way to stay lean. Cardio helps too.
I don't see anything impressive TBH. Looks like a simple list of order events from their message bus or something.
Think for yourself, don't take for granted what others are saying. Prevalent opinions in society can be wrong. Herds aren't always right.

Learn as much as you can.

Be curious.

Start investing early.

Read. This will get you an edge against most people today.

Enjoy life.

Be kind.
> What was actually requested was a simple two page PDF.

But this is impossible, because, as I learned today, "math is a small field without money for things like this".

Thanks to my discussion here I was able to shift my perspective. Instead of thinking about an abstract thing, like "improving readability of math papers to non-mathematicians", I understood that I have to focus on people! In other words, on a bunch of guys frustrated that other STEM guys earn multiples of what they earn, even though their fields are so much "easier". Why would they help those various others use their work? They worked so hard to create the papers, living in a (shared with a philosopher) one bedroom apartment, writing their revolutionary insights on tissues stolen from McDonalds with a piece of charcoal - while those others can afford to buy computers (and even paper) easily, even though they don't work as hard as mathematicians at all!

It's just so unfair, and of course it's not like mathematicians are jealous or anything (not at all! really! honest!), it's just genuinely so much "harder" to do math, that most of those others won't be able to understand no matter what! Even if they actually listened to the masses and did as requested, the mathematicians already know that it would be useless, so there's no point in trying. Also, this is obvious, but worth noting: saying that most people are simply too dumb to ever understand the intricacies of math is not a prejudiced bias, ok, that's simply a conclusion of centuries of research into math education!

I honestly stopped expecting they'll do anything sensible ever, unless they really have no other choice. You might win against some people, but you won't ever defeat human nature.

That's a very good point about debt. If you have any debt where the interest rate is above a reasonable investment rate of return, pay off that debt before putting money toward retirement.

Speaking of debt (to more directly answer OP's question), pay off your credit card, in full, every month. If you can't do that, you need to adjust your lifestyle downward until you can.
Which is also found in citrus fruits.

Do you think those are unhealthy too?

> Aspartame is one of the most rigorously tested food ingredients.[5] Reviews by over 100 governmental regulatory bodies found the ingredient safe for consumption at current levels.[6][7][8][9][10] As of 2018, several reviews of clinical trials showed that using aspartame in place of sugar reduces calorie intake and body weight in adults and children.

Read biographies of great people across all walks of life. Personally I got a great deal from reading about Thomas Edison, Richard Feynman, Winston Churchill, Nikola Tesla, etc. Also basic psychology, e.g. cognitive biases, Maslow's Pyramid, physiology. Watch documentaries about various industries, manufacturing, construction, etc. Understand basic accounting and finance principles.

The reason I suggest the foregoing is that technology changes at a rapid pace, but in my experience the majority of real problems stem from people factors, communications issues, biases, lack of critical thinking, perverse incentives, factors such as ego, greed, hubris.

Something funny and illustrative about the PRC for me was getting into shortwave radio. Let me explain. Sometimes certain people will tell you that the CCP isn't so censorious, that it's all Western hyperbole and propaganda, that most other governments are equivalent. But then you spin your dial through the shortwave broadcast bands and, no exaggeration, every 6 broadcasts or so will be the CCP jamming another broadcast from Taiwan, the US, the UK or elsewhere. No other country on Earth, apart from NK and occasionally Cuba, treats its people with such contempt. And all this energy, literal and figurative, just for shortwave radio.
The maintenance contracts on the B-52s alone are worth tens of billions of dollars. And like you pointed out, they're going to keep renewing those contracts for decades to come.
Don't get arrested.
Keep yourself fit. Get a workout program and stick with it. Eat well.
Educate yourself financially. Understand how to save, invest etc.
Build a good network of mentors, friends etc. who you can talk to in the long term.
Build a closer tribe of close friends who you interact with more frequently.
Reject fear (since piece of advice I'd give my 23 year old self). Stay aggressive.

And don't forget to enjoy the results of the above. :)
Music and/or drawing. These are both long curve activities where the more you put in, the more you get out. For example, fooling around with a ukulele for a year or two really improved my guitar later (especially fingerpicking!) when I wanted to get more serious about it. Even though I'm still not very good, I'm not trying to be a rockstar or a professional musician, and I can do a lot of nice things with it. Now I'm re-learning music theory I was told about in high school, and it's feeling interesting and useful.

It's very much an enriching experience that constantly feels worthwhile, but it's been years in unfolding for me. These things build over time just as much as interest does on bank accounts.

...and I haven't actually done that much drawing, so maybe this is bubkus, but I feel very strongly that it's the same. A decade of doing it with some regularity, at any age, is worth infinitely more than a year of showing promise when you're 15.
yeah it was.

Especially given how contentious some of his points are.. RSS really does belong on that page...
Unless you are accessing elements by ID ridiculously often, the time taken will be utterly unnoticeable rounding error (far below one millisecond). But if the difference is enough to skew the benchmarks, then it makes perfect sense to remove them. (In practice, on removing the skipping, I see no significant evidence that it actually makes a difference.)
How about cardio activities? I think those contribute more to getting rid of unhealthy fat and cholesterol, but I may be wrong.
I second this. I started weightlifting this autumn. Attended a course at the local weightlifting gym and now trying to train 3 times a week and at least once a week with a trainer. My back pains are gone, posture is better than ever and it has also improved my mental health and self esteem. It's an addicting sport, but boy it's hard in the beginning :)
Yeah, I surprised to even see those two terms on an article on HN (who uses getElementById or querySelectors nowadays right?) but I was even more surprised by the number of comments it gathered (which are of course unrelated to the original article)
Go chase the things you want and experiences you wish to try as quickly as possible. These things have a habit of getting stuck in the perpetual future for years at a time. Often you reach them and realize they were a mirage, but sometimes they were gold. The only way to know the difference is to go for it. Don't get stuck.

Chase your passions at the moment you have them. One day you will wake up and your heart has moved on.

There are many important things you could do, but they have as much value as a helpful book in a library that you never visit...unless you practice them regularly.

Here are some things that may help your quality of life several decades from now.

Financial health:

* Start saving a large chunk of your income and invest it wisely in assets that will provide value over the long term. Avoid get rich quick schemes.

Physical health:

* Exercise everyday, preferably for a minimum of 30 minutes (it doesn't have to be a single session).

* Eat well, meaning, you can eat in tasty and highly indulgent foods, but develop the habit to eat more of whole and unprocessed/minimally processed foods.

* Related to the previous point, cooking is a life skill that will help manage your budget and health better. Learn to cook and try to cook at least one meal a day, if not all meals for the day.

* Sleep well and rest well during your waking hours.

Mental health:

* Related to the point about sleep and rest, try to regularly review your interactions online and offline, and cut off those that are not productive or those that make you feel worse, increase stress, etc. Good relationships can uplift you a lot, and bad relationships can make every other achievement pointless.

* Try out meditation, and if you're sure about your mental health, try a meditation retreat (even once is enough for a different perspective).

* It's natural to get extremely angry and upset about many things in this world. Practice some detachment if possible (this depends on your background and situation).

Odds and ends:

* Measure and track what you value. Without measurement, you won't realize how far you've reached or how far you've deviated from your desired states.

* Enjoy life through whatever provides you joy. Don't get guilt tripped by others on this front.

* Though related to health, I'm keeping this for the last since it may be very controversial. Avoid or drastically minimize the consumption of alcohol, smoking, and also caffeine if you can. The accumulated damage from these over decades cannot be reversed (well, if you have good genes, then it's a different matter).
They haven't lost meaning, you can still wait a bit to get your game cheaper. It does usually follow a pattern of: opening sale 10%, full price for a bit, seasonal sales 10-50%, eventually up to 90% off during seasonal sales.

If you mix 1 liter of pure alcohol with 1 liter of pure water, you'll end up with less than 2 liters of liquid. But wine is a little bit of alcohol already mixed with a lot of water, so the "interstitial molecular crowding" will have already happened. So 1L of wine + 1L of water produces 2L total.
FWIW, the real brunt of my question was why one would go with a cloud-provider specific operating system over one from a group like Canonical or RedHat, as I would naively expect it to have less support and particularly less ecosystem-wide understanding and experience while not being available for other systems, and so it would seem like an easily-avoidable source of vendor lock-in. If I were be part of Camp RedHat I would personally use CentOS, not "Amazon Linux", unless there was some extremely good reason why Amazon Linux in specific was awesome.
That makes sense, but wouldn't you expect al2022 to reach compliance before Rocky?

I've seen a lot of extremely smart people in their early 20's. Young people can easily be as good as older people. The big difference is that respect, pay and responsibilities are hoarded at the top and not offered to juniors.
I mentioned gold above because one of the largest gold deposits in the world was formed as explained in the article (gold-laden mineralized water forced upwards through vents) in the same area.

It sounds strange that water can push gold upwards, but the proof is streaks of gold in multiple layers of quartz across a wide area in a number of AZ locations. So there's no nuggets, but when the ore is crushed, there's gold powder and flakes.

Totally agree. It is a trap to spend heaps when you earn a lot (compared to the average for your society). Living beyond your means can quickly become a compounding problem.

Always check the item on camelcamelcamel before buying on Amazon. A lot of times you will find surprises in the prices chart.
- Start saving, even for very small amounts. Compound interest can work wonders.

- Start seeing a dentist every ~6 months. You won't have any issues for many years, so you may think that it's wasted time/money, but one day things will start going downhill and you will be prepared. Note that many tooth or gum issues cannot be reversed.

- As someone else mentioned, don't be afraid to experiment. You will mostly regret the things you haven't done, not the other way around.

- Take care of yourself, try to stay fit, but don't worry about the things you do wrong too much.
It's not on chain, so that's really an apples to oranges comparison.

I just found the gravitation to it's value is interesting. With that thinking, does one think about the worth of their ticket stub after spending $70 on concert tickets?

Hate to be that guy, but that's wrong.

Body weight is determined by calories in vs calories out. Eat less calories than you burn, body weight goes down, eat more, body weight goes up.

Body composition is determined by exercise and diet. Lift weights and get enough protein, muscle mass increases. Run marathons and don't get enough protein, muscle mass decreases.

In general, compound movements like squats, deadlifts, pullups, presses etc should be preferred over isolation movements like crunches. Crunches are kind of a pointless exercise, even for working out your abs.
>You can have the good toaster, the good mixer, etc, but it sure looks like people don't actually want that. The pattern of product offerings in your average store suggests people want something affordable, and it doesn't particularly matter whether it is good at its job.

I've always wondered if we could fix this through legislation that forces manufacturers of consumer goods to provide an estimate of product lifetime according to some agreed standard - the same way that manufacturers of large appliances have to provide information about energy and water use.

As it stands, it's really hard for the consumer to know whether or not the $1000 coffee machine is actually better quality than the $500 one, or whether they're just milking a fancy brand name and relying on FUD.
Maybe it's called "black" because most customers gets screwed buying things which they were made to believe they are good deals when they are not.
"Original X for iPhone" or something like that has been a thing for many years. Miss the for (if you don't know the language very well, like many shoppers from around here for example), and you're screwed.
Same for me, most probably this account is about 10 years old or so, but I’ve been lurking for even longer.
