I love this question and the vulnerability/self awareness required in asking it. Props to you for bringing up something that is likely hard to talk about.

1. Have you tried talking to your friends about how it makes you feel? I get that that's vulnerable and might even feel embarrassing to bring up, but if they're really good friends of yours, they'll care about your feelings AND will be thankful for your honesty. Even if it feels awkward in the moment of or they're uncertain how to behave shortly thereafter.

It can be as simple as "I'm excited for your success and don't want to make you feel bad about it, but sometimes the details of how much STUFF you have really bring home insecurities about how much I don't have. It's enough to know you sold your house because the value went up without being reminded just quite how much it appreciated."

Letting them know how it can feel and asking them to be more aware doesn't mean you're a bad friend. It gives them the opportunity to gain some awareness of how their words impact others. As folks get wealthier it becomes easy to lose that awareness, and you bringing it up gives them the chance to reset some of their behaviors that are likely impacting other relationships as well.

To put it in a different context, if things are going really well in my marriage I probably won't dwell too much on that when talking with a friend who recently got divorced. I know they want good things for me, but I also understand that it could bring up painful comparisons or memories for them. Instead I can mention that things are going well without going into detail.

2. You mention that you "feel smashed with depression". Have you considered speaking to a therapist about your feeling or just mental health overall? I realize this is difficult when money is tight, but I also know that a fair number of therapists accept a sliding payment scale based on income.

Feeling bummed out because of comparison is pretty common and normal, especially in a culture like ours, so it may not be anything more than that. But if comparison is causing you a lot of negative feelings, it may be that deep down you've conflated happiness with financial success or security. Therapists are good at helping to identify the faulty associations we don't even realize we're making, and then seeing how to unwind those associations in ways that aren't obvious to ourselves or friends/partners we talk to.

In answer to your question about whether I have money or don't -- I work as a software engineer in the US so I'm certainly fortunate, but I'm in a big city so I have no plans to add a pool to my rented studio apartment any time soon.
>That billionaire was jealous of the main money dude who had family money inherited from the crusades.

Illuminati confirmed.

On a serious note, being born into wealth is a travesty of sorts. People who are tend to experience a reality that is far removed from that of the average person, and as such can't identify nor relate. They are robbed of a certain type of life. Yet, enormous wealth confers power that can be exercised over common people—despite such an upbringing rendering one ill-suited to exercise said power. It's a timeless problem, I suppose.
To be fair, I have no idea how my cousin managed to afford a house in Wendelstein, they all seemed pretty expensive for being a drive away from the subway as opposed to a walk.
People don't get this. In Illinois, multiple thousands of my annual property tax dollars directly fund the pensions of local teachers. And then I have to self-fund my 401K to have a chance at retirement - one that could fail to grow or evaporate in the market at exactly the wrong time. Theirs is guaranteed. They will get their salary for life.
I've only heard horror stories from people using this on real apps. The last one was a bug where MinIO wouldn't actually assert a file had been updated or something. Maybe they've improved since then, but I wouldn't call this "production ready" for the time being.
> Worship your family, friends, love ones, health, music, doing things that make you feel alive, shared experiences and nature over shiny toys and stuff that just sits around collecting dust and looking pretty.

Agree but let’s not forget that money can give you wonderful experiences even if you are not materialistic, including the ability to not work anymore. Those are the people I am jealous of.
My cofounder and I were doing a recent retrospective on our most recent acquisition, and while we're very proud of the product, we considered that your approach may have been more sound.
No. They're saying it "may decrease transmission" because there isn't evidence one way or another. They study they linked to didn't test that. Later in the first study, they even say "The role of children in community transmission is not clear".

The study that they're citing (https://www.bmj.com/content/372/bmj.n628.short) tests whether living with children increases chances of death from COVID (it doesn't).
The research in kids is much sparser than in adults, but when I looked into this, I saw far smaller, more biased sample sizes than in adults, but very similar PET scans showing hypometabolism in kids brains as has been shown in adults. This first article popped up too discussing long covid in kids when I googled it just now.

I think you all should learn to respect the enemy rather than dismissing it because it makes you feel bad.
This is one of those things that has been an absolutely terrible thing for Apple over the years. People would forget their passwords on their phones or their iCloud account and lose access to everything. And there was nothing Apple could do to help them. So the poor people at the Apple Store just had to tell someone that the last pictures of their dead mom are gone forever.

Apple finally implemented a solution in iOS 15 (15.1?). You can designate people you trust to be able to help recover your account. Like your spouse or a sibling. If they don’t have full access, they can just help recover it.

You are 100% right. A single point of failure without any chance of recovery is a complete disaster for normal users.
In 1972 when I was about 7 and my younger brother was 6, we were driving to NYC with my parents and got clobbered by a blizzard in Marathon, NY. So many scenes were etched into my mind - including stopping at a gas station where the attendant told us where to go to find shelter. We walked into a gymnasium where there were hundreds of other stranded folk.

But to you point, from that day on, my father kept an emergency kit in the trunk. Food, water, cash, space blankets, sweaters, etc.

I should do that too.
The same applies in the UK, but like the US you’re unlikely to get arrested unless you’re doing something more than peeing behind a bush.
Thank you for sharing your approach, I learned a few things to improve my own server and highly looking forward to deploying them!
Be happy if you can afford basic shelter and sustenance. Everything else is a bonus. Does anyone really need nice cars and mansions? I don't think we necessarily need to hate on the rich but we should resent those that have gotten rich through ill-gotten means and don't give back (in a meaningful way).

Excess wealth just means more things to lose.
I don't know where you are, but the right to repair movement here is nowhere near that advanced.
That's not what it said. It said we don't see truth, nothing about whether there is one or not.
Yes this is a good society. If your passion is cutting hair that’s fine, spend your life cutting hair. You might add value to 10,000 other humans before you die of natural causes at a ripe old age. If your passion is developing video games and you make a sleeper hit like Stardew Valley that is purchased and enjoyed by 20,000,000 other humans why shouldn’t you receive “social credit” ie money well in excess of the person that cut 10,000 people’s hair?

It’s not fair and it’s not meant to be fair. It’s meant to allocate limited resources in an efficient manner. Doing something people don’t care about or producing something people don’t care about, get nothing back. Do something people value or produce something they want and get the amount they value it back.

I’m aware that grifters exist and some people make money that shouldn’t make it like violently taking it from others that earned it or tricking people into giving away money they didn’t want to but you don’t cancel a system because it can’t run perfect. If we did that we would have to shut down public schools because a few teachers have sex with children, shut down the military because a few soldiers snapped on a civilian, and the list goes on and on.
You have described, accurately if glibly, the situation in the West prior to the Industrial Revolution and globalization, which have brought world-historical growth in economic, educational, and spiritual quality-of-life for non-elites.

Over the past ~150 years, our society has been remade; higher education is hardly the esoteric province of the aristocracy and clergy it was ~700 years ago in Europe, and as you imagine it will "obviously" soon again be.

There's no doubt the elite retain advantages of birth. Perfect meritocracy seems at odds with humans' intuitive creation of entrenched hierarchy and autonomic drive to empower and extend one's specific genetic legacy. But even when beset by imperfection, corruption, hypocrisy, etc, a Western non-elite human's life is not likely to turn out "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short," as is it would have in almost any other age. A peasant in Lancashire c. 1350 could reasonably bet many of his children would die, and those that did not would live almost entirely the same life as his own. A working-class American can make the opposite bets just as reasonably.

All this to say: I'm no Whig historian, but it is impossible to deny tangible and massive improvements in the average human's access to education and general quality of life over the past several generations. It is therefore absurd to make "obvious" predictions such as you have, contrary to a pervasive, macro trend, without providing some insightful analysis. (William Gibson's Cassandra cries should not be used as primary evidence...)

We rich, lucky ones, likely as not great-grandchildren of semi-literate factory peons, seem, generally, to exist in a cynical milieu which thoughtlessly assumes inevitable dystopia (an anti-Whig history!). But recent negative trends in, for instance, the Gini co-efficient, are minuscule vibrations within a relentlessly positive curve [https://ourworldindata.org/income-inequality].
301 through Maryland is the next closest highway that has fewer traffic lights.
I tell everyone to not wait, ask as soon as they need something, just hit the squad channel on slack, etc. If people all did this perfectly, we would end the standup in 30 seconds everyday (we don't bother with the recitation part, just if anyone is blocked or needs anything). And yet, people often need help and haven't asked yet. I think it lowers the barrier for some people.
I'm deeply skeptical that a smoker would, after ignoring the overwhelming evidence of the health damage from smoking, conclude that the risk of not being able to get a (quite rare) transplant operation for six months if they needed one would be the straw that breaks the decision-camel's back.
The thing is, loop gets to break with value because it otherwise doesn't end (so the type of the loop when it doesn't break is never aka ! and that's compatible with any type), but a for loop will always end anyway, so what's the value of the for loop when that happens?

In your example code, I see there's an else clause on the for loop which is presumably special syntax so as to provide the value if it doesn't break, but that feels pretty clumsy to me and I'm not sure there are many cases where it's more readable than what I'd do now.

If I could see a nice way to do it without such clumsy special syntax, I'd favour this, but with the else syntax (or some equivalent) it feels like it doesn't pull its weight.

I haven’t used these but I can ask say from general experience is that you get injured when you do something outside your skill level.
So sometimes you’ll hear about someone getting injured doing something but I find it to be a meaningless data point usually.
Yeah sleep is something that you quickly learn as a parent doesn't come all that naturally. Training my daughter to sleep properly is one of the most valuable things I did. I used the Ferber method which is similar to the method you mentioned. Where you visit them in intervals but the time between intervals increases over time. It took about 3 days but since then she sleeps 10-12 hours every night.
I once shipped a desktop software and had around hundred customers. It lasted for two years approximately. Ten years later my "side projects" folder grew by 1000x but I haven't launched anything since. I feel your pain.
Well, one time I had a patient masturbate underneath his blanket and throw his semen in my eyes so it's not all sunshine and roses. After that I started wearing my glasses every day to work. We found back wayyyyy back in his chart like 250 pages deep "DO NOT LET PATIENT BE ATTENDED TO BY ANY FEMALE STAFF" that the other facility had deliberately obfuscated so that our place accept him!

There's a lot of burnt out healthcare workers for sure, it's a hard job but I would say it's always interesting, you're always learning, there's lots of diversity and ways to specialize your career path (I went into oncology research) and it truly is rewarding. Just keep your head up for flying projectiles at your face :P

Hope you're feeling better!
i feel like most people assume people are dead when we really dont know. there could be flashes of experience after death due to mechanical agitation/disturbance. or maybe something else. and maybe the part of the brain that is needed to produce "experience" is a tiny little section that goes un-noticed when they look for brain death. its not very important so i havent looked into it. but i am afraid that if i die and i appear to die before my brain is inactive then i will have a captive body experience -- unpleasant on its own and very unpleasant if i make it to the autopsy. i dont think they even check for brain death or electrical activity before they start cutting you open. i simply dont understand people who choose to freeze their heads -- its literally the worst idea. i would pay for the opposite service where they take posession of your body and make sure you dont have a captive-body experience and make sure that your brain is destroyed so it can never be resurrected and tortured.

i saw a youtube video where this young woman recounted a near death experience that she had. she was in her car and somehow the car became airborne and was headed straight towards a thick traffic sign pole or something like that. in any case, she saw the pole coming toward her and she knew without any doubt that she was going to die. and she said that she saw flashes of every time she was terrible to someone. and she hadnt realized how terrible she had been in all these instances. and she said she was angry at god in that moment for showing her these terrible things right before she was going to die. i think its fascinating because the body is watching the situation and when the situation is right, the body deploys the mechanism that it thinks is useful. you can look at a picture of a bear and you wont be affected but if your encounter a bear in real life, you wont just go into fight or flight; you will be having a frame of mind and motivations that are unique to that situation because your body is giving those to you. and here, when the body believes with enough certainty that it is going to die, it deploys these memories? maybe the body allows you to see what its been hiding from you for your own sake in a last ditch effort to produce some kind of advantage. the human mind is very mysterious. but my point is that there is some mechanism at the bottom of that. it could show you anything. it could make you experience anything. there is this mythology of having happy experiences on the way to death, walking into the light, etc. but we have no idea what these experiences are other than the fact that they exist. its possible that most people have a terrible, awful experience on the way to death. its something that i think is just underappreciated.

Is this really any better than Apple/Google pay? Those are already set up, trustworthy, I don't need to convert my fiat into a cryptocurrency than can swing in value wildly, and it's super easy to set up with stripe or any of the other platforms that the website is probably already using.
Thanks for the correction!

My mistake - but I would argue it's WAY less scary.

Chance of death is already high when you're 80 (4%). An extra 133% is 5.32% chance of death.

If you're 16 is 0.02%. An extra 133% is a rounding error.
> The evidence from kids who get sick enough to miss a lot of school is that at worst it takes three years for them to be indistinguishable from those with uninterrupted school attendance.

Is this really true if the entire class missed a few years? It is very different having one kid who missed a lot and then later interacts with kids who all didn't miss a lot, and a class where every kid is behind a couple of years.
Reinstall windows? duck
Ah yes, I can see the regression tests are failing so it's likely a developer error.
Pretty, but just more cycle-stealing inefficiency.

Using something like this boils down to whether you don't mind wasting cycles and RAM on pretty effects or you just want the best performance consistently.

For most of us, that depends on whether we have had the experience of struggling to maintain good GUI performance or not. The younger users will have no hassle with using something like this, they've always had plenty of GUI performance.

For those of us who have had the experience of the necessity of only using plain-color wallpapers because it took too long for an image wallpaper to repair itself after moving a window on the desktop, it will remain one of those 'interesting thing to see, but not for me' effects.
You need a new model. It works like turning pancakes: the first one you ruin. The 2nd one - pretty good! The 3rd one - perfect

Yeah. I like to read the whitepapers from these Japanese companies but I have no practical experience with them.

The TSUBASA cards look like they're somewhere in between CPU and GPU. But its hard for me to understand it without actually playing with them directly.
No, absolutely not. Many people, myself included, can’t just be firing on all cylinders all the time. The downtime is necessary for the uptime. “Help” of this type from coworkers (or rather managers, let’s be real) only drives home the idiotic message that anything other than uniform incremental daily progress is an aberration that must be corrected.

The best product doesn't win, the 'sexiest' ones do because they can drum up the press coverage and mainstream recognition necessary to become a household name.

WeWork might not have a a 'tech' company, but it behaved like one after juicing on all that Softbank money. Turns out they had nothing Regus or other 'boring' companies couldn't provide. But they bought a lot prestige properties and advertised constantly, so they became the household name for co-working.
> I was always under the impression that Microsoft does not fix or is extremely slow at fixing particular virus-allowing bugs due to their business model of licensing access to system features, you have to access to be able to build an antivirus software.

That's bollocks. Unlike Apple which requires Apple's blessing ("entitlement") to access "sensitive" APIs or to load kernel-mode drivers (and is known to randomly grant or deny them), all you need for distribution of a Windows driver is an EV Code sign certificate (from Vista and above) and additionally from Windows 10 onwards to submit the binary to Microsoft for attestation (which likely means they'll run static analysis to check for malware and that's it).

It should not take an experienced programmer more than a couple of weeks to develop the kernel-mode interface of a basic anti-virus/firewall solution that monitors process, registry, file and network access and passes the data to an user-mode analyzer (the latter are the easiest, all you need there is a simple filter driver)... the stuff where it gets tricky is when AV vendors access internal kernel APIs and data structures to check for malware modifications to hide itself. Malware doesn't care much if Microsoft updates something it needs, but AV software should not break down after a kernel upgrade, which is why the stakes for AV vendors are so much higher.

What Microsoft does sell is access to the source code via the Shared Source program [2] - while there is no official program aimed at AV vendors, you can bet that there is a separate program available for the half-dozen major AV vendors there are.

As for "MS is so slow at fixing bugs": the one thing Microsoft cares and what guarantees it the money it makes is backwards compatibility and operating stability. You can take virtually all major Windows 95-era software and it will run unmodified on a modern Windows 10 machine, well over 25 years after its publication - a promise that the Linux kernel upholds but the userland (distributions) does not give a fuck about, and Apple doesn't care much about software written for obsolete platforms at all (see e.g. dropping Rosetta and 32-bit support after the last hardware based on them went obsolete). And unlike Apple, Microsoft has to check all updates in kernel and user land against a literal shitton of hardware combinations and software to make sure no bugs are introduced.
