And what do you mean no end in sight? Child alimentation stops at certain places after some age threshold is reached, certainly there must be a limit.

If your salary is 80gross or net and you pay half , do the math what you'd get in another country and leave if it makes sense.

If you make much more than that, I would suck it up.
That’s actually very insightful. The OS era you describe was mostly local with not so many things happening in online interactions and way less devices collaborating to create for example your images folder.

Now that we mostly have the server-client model ingrained in every online activity there is an obvious complexity centralisation on the server side.

Might be interesting to see how web3 and other decentralised web movements might factor in to this!

Overpopulation is a problem but carbon inequality is much worse [2]:

"
. The richest 10% of the world’s population (c.630 million people)
were responsible for 52% of the cumulative carbon emissions –
depleting the global carbon budget by nearly a third (31%) in
those 25 years alone (see Figure 1);
• The poorest 50% (c.3.1 billion people) were responsible for just
7% of cumulative emissions, and used just 4% of the available
carbon budget (see Figure 1);
• The richest 1% (c.63 million people) alone were responsible for
15% of cumulative emissions, and 9% of the carbon budget –
twice as much as the poorest half of the world’s population (see
Figure 1);
• The richest 5% (c.315 million people) were responsible for over a
third (37%) of the total growth in emissions (see Figure 2), while
the total growth in emissions of the richest 1% was three times that
of the poorest 50%

Simplicity is extremely undervalued in my opinion. I was previously an evangelist for functional programming with Scala et al., but as my experience grows I become more and more utilitarian. The saying „ With great power comes great responsibility“ fits pretty well in the context of programming languages imho.
All of those are important factors, and I’m amazed at a friend who has 4.

But it also seems like the more educated and higher income, the more neurotic parents get over raising their kid (myself included). You try and optimize a demanding career AND offer your kid every opportunity to learn and engage.

My friends with 4 don’t do that. The kids get engagement from each other, so fine in public school and there is no expectation they’ll go to an Ivey League school.

Leaves more brain bandwidth and less stress.

To your other points, I get feeling revulsion to Google or Facebook, but I feel there are other companies like Netflix or Stripe that are ethically fine. The idea that the employees are generally overworked doesn't mesh with my lived experience the bay area, I have a fairly wide social circle and I don't know anyone putting in more than 40 hours a week at a big tech company unless they're trying to climb the ladder super fast. I think we also may have to agree to disagree on whether all leetcode is intellectually dishonest. 4 leetcode hard problems is a silly way to interview, but when working on problems at scale I appreciate a gut check problem on big O and an algorithmic workhorse like depth-first search or something.
A few months back I started a feature in an Elm project. I did a few hours of programming and then stopped and forgot about it for two months. When I came back to it I couldn't remember what I was building, and the git branch name wasn't clear either. I decided to just follow the errors and get it to compile again and after about two hours it worked and my frontend sprung back to life with the new feature working. For me Elm is perfect for projects with frequent and extended interruption.

Not everyone has money for divorce. If we really want to make it better, we can lower filing fees or get rid of them entirely. Getting married is cheap in a lot of places, and that means poor folks can have the legal benefits of marriage. It is a shame that poverty can keep you there.

50/50 custody isn't always good for the child, though. I know a kid that really had anxiety issues, in no small part because 50/50 makes for somewhat unstable housing.

There isn't really a such thing as 50/50 child support. The bigger reason for child support is because one parent obviously makes more than the other one, and the support is supposed to ease the burden. I'd rather expand the safety net so that less support is needed. Not only that, but I'd make sure that the support receiver gets the money every month regardless of whether or not the other parent pays. You can pay support to the government instead of directly to the other party. Also of note: Support tends to be higher or lower depending on custody - and to be fair, it applies to never-married relationships as well. I'd also note that we should be sure that both parties can keep up proper residences for the children. Visitation means you need the house space (bedrooms) for the children, for example, and support shouldn't mean that you lose access to your children.
TL;DR: Quick & easy process, do it. Minor part of revenue on long term, though.

They reached out to us. We integrated their SDK (trivial), provided sales copy and screenshot, then waited about two weeks for the review.

For the first few months, we got the most revenue from SetApp, it quickly jumped to ~$800, but these days, we earn more from selling single-user licenses. I expect the SetApp part to become smaller and smaller as we grow our Teams subscriptions.

Generally, I think it was good. It got us a few hundred users very early on, which helped us focus on the features and fixes that mattered. It also helps with brand trust, i.e. if you are in SetApp, there is less chance of you being a scammer.
With a proper breeder system we would not only significantly reduce amount of required Uranium mining (and thus its environmental impact), but also amount of produced waste and time at which it will be radioactively dangerous (from several hundred thousand years to several hundred). But, unfortunately, only the Russian government currently seriously invests into development of this area. Everyone else is fine with simply storing nuclear waste (with varying levels of finality and recycling), especially considering that it takes a minuscule amount of space as far as industrial processes go.
Not sure what such an absurd code example is supposed to show.

However, ignoring the situation completely in this case is emitting the code as written. This is not hard at all, despite all the mental gymnastics expended to pretend that it were hard.

That is the compiler's job: emit the code that the programmer wrote. Even if that code is stupid, as in this case. It is not the compiler's job to second guess the programmer and generate the code that it believes the programmer meant to write.

In this case:

1. Dereference i.
2. Check i.
3. If i is null return 0.
4. return the value from line 1.

If you want, I can also write it down as assembly code.

Again, this isn't hard.

"Ignoring the situation completely" means ignoring the fact that this is UB and just carrying on.

GP made a categorical statement. I pointed out that it is not categorically true.
Honestly I don’t blame people for being fed up and confused. In March 2020, masks were not effective but then they were. In March 2021, vaccines prevent infections (until they don’t). In September 2020, schools can’t open because we need to save the kids! In September 2021, kids are low risk and we need to accept it. In April 2020, the risk is so great that business, schools and transit need to cease. By September 2020, a cloth mask ameliorates all risk. By December 2021, cloth masks are shit, N95 are what works.

Here’s the thing, N95 has always been superior. Children have been known to be low risk since summer 2020. Vaccines were never intended to protect against all infections. The virus doesn’t give a shit if your restaurant is at 50% capacity or 75%, it’s airborne.

Now it can be argued, and effectively, that public health officials said things with nuance that the media took as gospel. But, if you are going to scream “we trust the science!” and then treat every pre-print or pithy tweet as gospel, don’t be surprised when you create heretics to your religion.

When prototyping I prefer dynamic languages because they allow partial/"sloppy" programs, as generally you type code along the happy path first.

Personally I think it wouldn't hurt if more strongly/statically typed languages took a note from the GHC compiler and had an option like -fdefer-type-errors[1]. That way one can write the sloppy/clever/prototype code, then disable the flag and make the program sturdy in the presence of failure.

> The die packaging is almost never done at the same place as the fab.

Are you sure? TSMC definitely does packaging. And it seems like it would be crazy to ship a delicate unpackaged die to a different factory when you could just keep it in a clean room and do everything in one place. I think it would be mad for Intel not to do packaging there.

> needs to be mounted on a complete PCB

Intel sells lots of CPUs that aren't soldered to PCBs.
That is quite important: It is harder to be homeless in the Netherlands than it is in the US.
As much as I hate to say it as a developer: code is trivial. Finding users is the hard part.

Additionally, our long-term vision is to make the bulk of revenue from Teams subscriptions, where most value comes from a web-based dashboard (https://paretosecurity.com/teams), which is closed sourced.
That seems like an impossible goal. If there are 2 houses instead of 1, it's going to require getting cheaper houses, smaller yards, etc. Both parties' standard of living will go down.
I have to add a correction there: "Wherever there's money . . .AND SUBJECTIVITY IN THE INTERPRETATION OF PERFORMANCE . . . "

You don't see this in crucial roles in sport, for example, where athletes who once possessed the talent for glory can't hide it when they perform poorly or are past their prime.

Thankfully, there are no deteriorations in performance for physical ability alone in tech, rather, mental abilities improve over time (Except for roles where the grind is important), but in the early tech days, "Winning" meant creating things that were measurable and clearly showed that.(Mostly at least, there will always be exclusions to the norm).

The past decade and a half have been near unbearable with the progressions in tech culture at companies resembling what internet memes on corporate culture are made of. Heavily verbose emails and pointless discussions of low intellect for the most minor of issues or features.

Power is concentrated not in software engineering ability, but in the boardrooms of clueless MBAs and while you say it isn't about that, what i see indicates it is largely because of that.
>were hit with antitrust litigation starting around 2010 because they were all involved in colluding to reduce the ability of devs to switch jobs

I didn't know that, really interesting detail.

>no one wants to admit they don't know what they are doing.

Interesting perspective, though I don't know about the vodoo part. They seem to be taking the matter quite seriously, at least google does. Take the matter of competitive programming: Peter Norvig says they were checking, if taking part in programming contests would correlate with good performance at the job [1]; I think having read somewhere that Norvig revised his negative judgement later on, as they had examined more data [2]. (actually that would mean that they didn't act on the data to begin with, well well).

These companies are good at data processing, any data that is, at least they seem to be taking it dead seriously (disclaimer: I never worked at google, though I have managed to fail at interviewing there, however i am not sure if i would have accepted an offer ;-)

Everything that gets produced eventually lands in a dump. The moral justification for shipping stuff your nation has no use for anymore, i.e. your garbage, off to Africa needs to be discussed. Some of that stuff will find second use, which is good in some ways and bad in other ways, but whether that happens or not, everything that gets shipped to Africa will end up in a dump in Africa sooner or later - unless it gets shipped away again somewhere else.
This is yet another obscure benefit of UBI and/or comprehensive social safety nets in general (and on a smaller scale, getting rid of tipping as a cultural practice).

Employer abusing you? You have options. Employer allowing customers to abuse you? You have options. And not only when there's a temporary shortage of what you're offering the market.

It's not a coincidence that people see tipping as a hold over from slavery and class systems.

Every time you see people saying that you can't give people healthcare or they won't want to work they're actively saying they want to trap people in these situations by removing their leverage. If you can't provide a service to the public without abusing your employees and threatening to withdraw their families healthcare, maybe we'd all be better off if you went out of business and someone else provided that service in a different way. Because that is uncivil.

I didn't mean it as a serious suggestion, just that it's technically possible to reduce the population that much without killing anyone.

Are you serious that to reduce CO2 "enough" world population would have to be under 8 million people?

When the Industrial Revolution started, mid 1700s, world population was something like 800 million, wasn't it?

Why would it be necessary to return to the world of 4000 BC, which is what I believe 8 million corresponds to?

> Guys can wear a shirt for years to the point it’s vintage. If a woman does that, she will very often get judged by her peers.

I'm a man, in my early 40s, got recently lauded by a total stranger (younger kid, mid-20s I'd say) for wearing a 15-year old t-shirt which had become vintage in the meantime (an Emerica t-shirt, bought when I was in my mid-20s and when I thought that wearing skate clothing even though I wasn't doing any skating at all was cool). My feminine SO probably wouldn't have received the same reaction had she worn a 15-year old piece of clothing.

That said, there are some vintage clothes that women can also wear without being judged, but we're not talking about clothes that are worn on a regular basis, I'm talking about "that blouse my mom used to wear in the late 1980s and which is cool to wear in more hippy-ish environments from time to time".
> So I was curious, with that in mind, where the free lunch drugs are?

Nothing in life is "free lunch", not even free lunch. At the very least you have to expand time to fetch it, eat it and deal with a slightly increased risk of food poisoning afterwards.

But that is often times a very fitting metaphor when comparing the upside of a lot of drugs to their downside: It does not have to be free, to be free. If you have an infection that would otherwise kill you, an effective antibiotic is close enough to free to be a no-brainer.
I agree, but, until then, this has worked great for me:

> Prenups aren’t 100% but having gone through the process I saw. Legal contracts matter!

this. The whole point of making a contract is to agree how to disagree. The best contracts spell out the edge cases. If both can be mature enough very early to talk about these, then it's a basis that predicts the ending to be civilized in the first place.

In reality motivation for marriage is a lot more complex than what can be spelled out in a contract. In my case how would I have put on paper the edge cases that came with wanting to get married to a manipulative, deeply broken, drama queen which was the only reference model my bi-polar, suicidal and abusive mother equipped me with. Or how would a young woman from a wife-beating father chose her spouse.

In my case marriage accelerated my own demise (a path that I was already on) but I needed that crash (without knowing it back then) to figure out the problem in the first place.

I've seen in myself and many friends (both smart and dumb, poor and rich) no matter how intelligent, prudent and sensible in other areas of life, people abandon all reason with love. Like it's the most powerful and destructive drugs of them all when taken by people who haven't fixed their own issues. Like women who go into it as a way of "fixing him" or guys who need somebody to "complete them" (or a million other ways to destroy themselves).
