I share with you a bit about what I have learned. I've struggled a lot. Everything is like broken. I'm still struggling right now. However, I'm still working on something to make our situation better. I do several research and experiments on Happiness, psychology, neuroscience and here are something I'm want to share.

+ Hedonic adaption: Hedonic adaption is special psychological effects that explains about how we perceive about happiness. Even after a big happy moment, our level of happiness do down quickly. We adapt our perception to our current situations. So it's like nothing will last forever. Hedonic adaption is both good and bad. It makes us adapt quickly with any situations. It keeps us safe. So we should appreciate it and learn how to make use of this effect rather than blaming it. Learns to attend with everything you do even it's bad, explore something news. It will help you deal with bad effects of hedonic adaptation.

+ Mindfulness: Do some mindfulness exercise. We feel stress because our mind think we're having problems. Our mind made up our feelings to keep us safe [7]. It's good for us. Mindfulness help us understand more about feeling and more enjoy the moment.

+ Mind body connection: Your health affects your mental, and your mental will affect your health. To me, it's not because some spiritual belief, but it's how systems work [3] [4]. Our body, our mind are systems. They are part of bigger system. They connect each others and interact with each other, sending some feedback. So try to improve both your health and your mental. Try to improve your health diet, do exercises and taking care of our thoughts and feelings.

+ We aren't rational. Our thinking system is optimal but it has limitations [3]. It has a lot of problems (cognitive biases). Learn to appreciate and find a way to make it better. For example, we can adapt. We update our belief overtime. Try to make new better habits[5]. Make small steps.

+ There isn't perfect things. Every systems aren't perfect. Our immune system, our cognitive system, organizations, data structures, design patterns,... Appreciate what works, what not and improve it.

If anything, student loans are already too subsidized, and their prevalence pushes up the cost of education. If student loans were on similar terms to a standard loan, most people wouldn't take them.
I don't know if there's provincial taxes or anything, but a similar dynamic happens in the US, there's arbitrage smuggling between states with different taxes. A bit dated, in the link the negative states are one where cigarettes are net flowing out of the state, so you can see where they are going and coming from.

At first, I was going to state that it would be interesting to compare organized crime trafficking tobacco to other drugs where there is no long running commercial history. But then I saw the southern border states are theorized high in importing smuggled cigarettes. So either wyoming, idaho, and nevada are supporting the whole western US, or some of it's coming up from mexico.

No, I always dismissed it until they had enough backslash and stopped pushing it. I still use whatsapp tho (along with Telegram)
I don't think it is only about being personable. That is obviously very important but it is as much about being able to insert yourself into someone else's life and help them. You meet someone, they have a problem, and you can say: "Oh, I know X or Y". That is very big, being a connector to lots of people with skills is the same as having those skills yourself.

But I agree totally. Most of my family worked in the public sector, I had no idea about any of this stuff until I started trying to get a job. And some of the people who I grew up with who were totally incompetent but were sociable/well-connected ended up doing very well (I went to a private school, so my sample is quite interesting: I know a guy who was very smart, went to college, trained in law at the top law school in my country, worked hard, but couldn't get it together ended up becoming a chef...meanwhile a guy who got straight Ds, scraped into uni, did no work whilst there is working as a PM at a top fund manager...they don't teach you this part of life in school).

On the OP: college isn't real life, it isn't anything like real life at all because you don't need to be an expert or have knowledge to extract economic value (and that isn't a bad thing at all). As someone who went to private school and saw a decent amount of privilege, it didn't helped kids who came from poorer backgrounds. These kids went to college (which probably would have happened anyway, they are smart) but most (not all tbf) struggled in the real world because they had poor social skills. I have a long list of utterly mediocre human beings who are punching well above their weight in life (and tbf, this is a bad thing...the guy I mention above shouldn't be managing anyone else's money...not to be harsh, he just shouldn't), and a list of one or two people who came from a poorer background and got out. I think that is down to a combination of socialization, understanding business, and nepotism (I wouldn't overestimate the latter, all of the people who punch above their weight had the ability to walk into a room and make another person feel like they had known them forever).
No. France's traditional stance is more independent non-aligned and it is in France's interest to maintain decent working relations with all sides.

France was the first Western country to recognise the PRC, for instance. This was realpolitik and hopefully that will continue.

Before every action we need to ask yourself what we want to achieve and whether that is actually achievable. This requires knowledge of other countries' history, culture, and politics. Rash, emotional moves are rarely productive. Historically France and other Western powers have been aggressors towards China (which partly caused the reaction that led to the current Chinese regime). The reality is that a country like France is in no position to pressure China and rash action against China would help the Chinese government at home by allowing them to invoke history.
There are so many things, I could write an entire book. So here is one of literally thousands of crimes the CCP commits:

It sends armed fishing boats[0] into the territorial waters of other countries to plunder its fishes. At night, PRC boats turn off their (mandatory) transponders, enter the waters to steal fish, then leave the territorial waters and turn their transponders back on. At times, you can watch it life on marinetraffic.com

For instance, last year a huge fleets of PRC fishing vessels raided the nature reserve around the Galapagos Islands[1] and destroyed much of the fauna around the islands. Same tactic was used, they turn off their transponders, steal what they can, and then turn the transponders back on.

Again, this is just one tiny topic of thousands of crimes the CCP and their thugs commit on a daily basis.

The sooner the Chinese people are freed of that criminal organization, the better. Look at Taiwan: they are Chinese too, and they have one of the best run governments and most democratic systems in the world.

Yep, I would be much further along and better off if I just played the game.

Absolutely disgusting.

Or you simply view being sociable as part of Merit. In fact I'd wager that to do well in almost any job you need to be sociable. Merit is not just about technical ability.

Your mention of "mastery" and "autonomy" fits directly with Self-determination theory (that posits that "Competence", "Autonomy", and "Relatedness" are three important components to a good life).

Okay, then I would claim referring to "cultural genocide" as "genocide" is genocide trivialization. In the Holocaust, they killed 11 million people.

I wouldn't compare that to an attempt to end child marriage in India, for instance.

Some cultural practices should be ended. By contrast, people from a certain culture should not have their lives ended simply for being from that culture.

Equating the two is nonsense.
Thanks for asking, in short pure nonsense with the intention to attract derision. Google does know it? :-) Because I made it up. It is synonymous to grandiose without being pretentious and is originally meant to be used in some product marketing context. Are you Sir Ious?
I have found that there are two types of people who are happy in their work. 1. Those that help others, like teachers and nurses. Their jobs can be stressful and not very financially rewarding. But they take satisfaction from seeing patients get healthy or students learn.

The other type are people who create things. If you are not of the first type I highly suggest that you find a career where you make things. Creating a software product definitely fits the bill for some people. But if you can't see what you are making because all you do is fix bugs, or work on small components, you might not get the job satisfaction you need. Seek out work that involves making things.
Dang that's a tough road to persevere through especially in '08. How did you get your big break?

I feel like this advice focuses on execution (“I know that mastery and autonomy make me happy, $this is how I achieved that”).

It’s much harder to actually understand what makes you happy, and when your mind is deceiving you: you may not fully appreciate what you have to give up to achieve a certain goal.

Would you be able to elaborate how you realized that mastery and autonomy were the things that make you happy?

Allow students loans to be forgiven 10 years after graduation through bankruptcy.

Then expensive programs that don’t have a career path to support them will have trouble getting students needing financial aid.
I've been really happy with slimv. There are a few things missing that I'd like to have were I to find myself working on a really large program with a bunch of other programmers, though I suspect the commercial Lisps offer a good approximation. Besides the trivial things like more auto-refactoring tools (thanks to cross-referencing I can at least get a list of all the locations something is used and jump to edit them one by one if necessary) and project organization tools (I've started using @export from https://github.com/m2ym/cl-annot rather than going back to my package definition to keep adding symbols to the export list) I'd like a better line debugger. It hasn't been a hurdle so far because what's there is good enough (as the article describes, when you hit the debugger you get your stack, you can inspect stuff in the frame, you can recompile and then restart computation from a frame instead of aborting the whole thing). If your declaim settings are right you can also step your code and so on within vim but it's kind of clunky, I'd rather launch a dedicated GUI that's at least as nice as the old Insight GDB wrapper. When inspecting complex data I've started to use the McCLIM app Clouseau: https://github.com/McCLIM/McCLIM/tree/master/Apps/Clouseau I bound ,ci to call (clouseau:inspect) on the symbol and that launches a nice enough GUI to explore it. (Repeated periodically in a thread also serves as a poor man's variable watcher...) A handful of other vim plugins make the full experience even better (even when not writing lisp).

It's been pretty amusing watching the LSP landscape evolve for other languages, it's almost like swank for CL. But it's rather nice to have the server be embedded in the process itself. On my personal web server I have a compiled lisp binary running, but I shipped it with swank listening on a local port, so if I want to change something without rebuilding and redeploying I can just SSH in while forwarding port 4005, connect to the lisp image with my local editor, and recompile functions or whatever. At my last job I also inserted ABCL into the huge Java app on my dev box and had it start a swank server, letting me connect with vim and mess around -- it was mostly useful for quickly launching system tests which otherwise had a dedicated clunky browser UI, and writing some code to quickly extract or insert data. I had some designs to write some webdriver tests in Lisp and demo how the debugging experience when one fails can be much better (not having to restart the whole flow because a UI element changed its class name or whatever and threw an exception) so as to introduce the language to the broader company officially (and hopefully push for officially sanctioned use), but never got around to it before I left.
> What is "virtue signal about virtue signalling"?

It's the jujitsu you did at the beginning of your first post. "People who chose the opposite of my choice are just here to brag about that and show us how concerned they are with big tech and privacy. I on the other hand have the stones to admit that I took the path of least resistance for convenience and there are many others like me that did the same that are just to scared to admit it. But I'm not - look at me!"
They are failing, it’s just happening later (when they try to get a job).

Clearly things are broken.
> So what happens when a site receives a CCPA inquiry from an actual person concerned about privacy instead of a researcher under a fake identity?

They conclude that it's a Princeton research study and throw it in the trash.

This is part of the harm this study has done; because the researchers were not upfront about who they were and what they were doing, they have introduced uncertainty about the CCPA process.

> Should such laws instead require users to go through some state agency as an intermediary which would then only contact the site on behalf of the person if the agency determines that the user's data at the site is covered?

That could be a good idea. It would depend, of course, on that agency being well-staffed and well-trained (both of which are separate from being well-funded, which can help). There's a giant pile of messy problems that can crop up due to negative influences from, say, corporations that want to sell more data.

That said, it would be nice to have an org that can do the minimum legal work necessary to figure out if the claimant has a leg to stand on. That would not only minimize the harm of this sort of ill-advised study, but also make it harder to use threats of legal force to coerce smaller site owners.

Way back in the day I was a lone IT guy in a distributor/wholesaler, and part of that was creating line of business apps to do some real heavy lifting, extending existing ones, and creating utilities to tie other apps together. In a tiny company of maybe 40 people, where even an underpaid IT guy was still an extravagance (but was adding huge value).

Periodically I'd ask to shadow someone for a day or two. At some points, even asking if I could do their task and have them watch me to confirm I was doing it correctly.

What you would learn from this was amazing. All sorts of inefficiencies that people would quietly accept, because it was still way better than the previous state.

Then a week or two later I'd roll out the update, and get huge thank yous from accounting, or sales, or the warehouse because I completely trivialized some previous common task. What used to take 45 seconds now takes 2 because all the work is done for them 99.9% of the time and they just need to confirm it's correct (or correct the odd edge case). The computer became this increasingly magical tool they loved more and more.
This presumes that vices have no effects on anyone but the person partaking. Think about the secondary effects of smoking on those around you, or the societal effects of the opioid crisis, or even the effects on rescue workers who need to scoop up what remains of a person riding a motorcycle without safety gear.

One more thing, as a self-taught programmer, I struggle to understand other people's code. I would therefore like to read more about how programmers _inspect_ code so they may modify how it works. For example, let's say you find a third-party package (I'm using Python, so we call these modules), and you want to fork some particular package so it uses a database instead of config files.

Now I get the general idea of what I could do--clone the code, start editing it, setting breakpoints, walking the code execution, and essentially rewriting making their code my code. But it's a tangled web, no? Not easy. And then there must be (?) shortcuts? Plus, I'd like to read about the terminology and methods so I can search for other people's tutorials.

They're making their desktop environment and apps into a walled garden on a platform like Linux. Most GTK4 apps won't be usable outside the intended desktop environment for which they're built.

They also engage in carefully crafted doublespeak when it comes to things like extensions and user choice regarding configuration.

Call it what you want but they certainly don't intend to play nice with anyone and have adopted the approach of "my way or the highway". Perhaps they're emboldened by all the corporate backing they have from Red Hat and SUSE. They also have the advantage of being the default DE on most distros. Hell, even distros like NixOS encourage users to use GNOME, which is absolutely insane when you think about it.

There are three kinds of meme:

1. Genuinely insightful/funny

2. Meme as an opinion/argument

3. Bullying meme

I'm ok with 1.

I'm not ok with 3, but can see that it's unavoidable and invariably popular in less, let's call it, "educated" populations. An "educated" netizen not personally affected by the topic of bullying can typically simply choose to ignore these and move on.

The worst on that list for me is 2. "Argument by meme", as well as "argument by comic" or "argument by videoclip" depicting contrived scenarios as fact seems to be extremely popular these days, and is one of the most insidious things on the internet.

It's also worth noting that under US law, a lawyer who gives you legal advice can be held liable if that advice causes trouble down the line.

This creates even more incentives to have a paywall--one, it keeps people from bugging you for free legal advice that can bite them and you in the ass later, and two, it ensures that the people who do get advice from you have followed your procedures for setting up an account with you.
How do you show that the person who created Bored Ape #99 was the person listed and that they signed a contract giving legal rights to the holder of the NFT?

Not just NYU. My school had generous scholarships for freshmen. Then each subsequent year, as your loan limit was allowed to increase, you were expected to take on more loans. You could reapply every year for some of those scholarships but many were need based or one time only. As a first generation student it felt very bait and switch like.
