I would advocate for more free market as solution to this. Allow more construction, allow more competition. Thus force these companies to provide either better service or cheaper prices. If they or everyone else were allowed oversupply market lot of issues would correct. Maybe some control tools like forcing them to supply market in reasonable time period from lot allotment or face massive taxes.
How about saying why instead of assuming your 'Wow' point is so obvious everyone will agree?
Is this actually true? This feels a bit like a post-facto generalization from specific situations. "I was a nerd and didn't go on dates. Being a nerd got me into software and now I make a lot of money. Therefore people who are on the path to high earning are not getting dates."

My experience has been that a lot of the stereotypical jocks ended up in finance and are doing quite well and that software is no longer dominated by social loners.

Not even remotely surprised. I'm decently surprised they made it to number 4; I thought some southeast asian countries might have a higher per-capita tea consumption. Come to think of it, I think the list is probably highly skewed towards countries that import their tea and countries with local tea production will be a lot harder to pin down more accurately. Many countries missing from the list as well!

There are other "oddities" that make me suspicious. e.g. Saudi Arabia and UAE have extremely similar native population (bedouin Arab origins) and neither culturally drink black tea, but KSA ranks much higher than UAE. My immediate guess is the massive (underpaid) southeast asian labor force in KSA¹, which I know firsthand consume tea ceaselessly - but India supposedly has a lower per-capita consumption rate than the UAE. In fact, I'm sure both KSA and UAE are up there because of their foreign laborers, lending credence to my suspicion that countries with local tea production (such as India) are massively under-represented in that list.

¹: KSA does admittedly have a higher percentage of Levantine and North African permanent residents.

Maybe, just maybe, the point of those events for women has something to do with the fact that everything else in the tech world is a de-facto boys' club.

My current team at work: 6 men.
Previous team at a different company: 27 men, 3 women.
The team before that: 5 men.
The team before that: 10 men, 2 women.

I guess we can debate "marginalized", but women are unquestionably a minority in tech.

WireGuard isn't really the interesting bit here, it's running TCP/IP over it in userland. You cannot straightforwardly do that with SSL/TLS, but it is in fact the API that WireGuard provides.

- quicker to add features (or decide not to add)
Every course like that which allows rating of the course should get negatively reviewed for exactly this reason. It's fine if they want to extort students, but there should be a cost.

It's common trade policy to block imports in response to another country blocking our exports. Although in reality it's usually a matter of leveraging tariffs. One doesn't need a general policy to respond in kind.
I have small children I also make a pretty respectable Software Engineering salary, my kids have no real understanding of that. They just know Daddy works and has a job they don't really understand the finances, and seem just as content in the home we purchased recently as they did when we were living in an apartment, for them the realities of finances don't have major impact in their day to day lives.

In contrast my mother works in a Title 1 Elementary school[2], she spends much of her day dealing with children that are in chronically bad situations, it has been her observation that the biggest problem is that no one cares about the kids, not in a the parents hate them sense, but there is no one actively concerned with and thinking about and preparing for the child's future, there are all sorts of resources the school makes available to try and help these kids but it doesn't matter much because no one is invested.

When you have only one parent that one parent has is the sole person responsible for helping prepare that child, investing in that child, and guiding the child, and that kind of work is exhausting. It can be done my own mother is evidence of that, but when you have two parents now you don't have to be the point man on it all day every day you can share that burden with someone else, you have someone to help bear the burden when it is too much for you, and that shares the load.

That I think is an important part of what having a two parent household rather than a one parent household brings, even if finances aren't great it still means there is someone that can invest in the child.
I thought about teaching as a career. I'm passionate about science and math, I'm great with kids, I'm a decent teacher...but the stress was insanely high for the compensation and benefits. I was doing entry-level assistant work at age 22-25 to see if I liked teaching, getting paid $20k a year with no benefits to mostly deal with the 10% who are crazy bad kids every day...not worth it.

One example, I had an 8th grader jump on a desk and scream "I LOVE TACOS" repeatedly. I told him to get down and be quiet, we're trying to learn about robotics. He then called me a racist (because I'm white and I don't love tacos? I do though). I talked to him after class, turns out his family life was in chaos and he needed help at home.
Or it could be like Zeno's Dichotomy Paradox.
I'm in the same boat as you, but I think it's important to remember another factor besides conditioning. It's much easier to say "I would love to quit" when you have a job than it is to be happy not having a job when you aren't sure if you could actually get one to begin with.

Similarly, if you know you could take someone in a fight, and they challenge you in public...its easier in that case to "take the high road" and walk away than it would be if you knew you would lose the fight, or you weren't confident you would win. The people in the latter case are much more likely to feel shame and/or resentment towards the aggressor later on.

I think with "power" like that its easier to make the best choice in many cases. It's a shame too...I know a few people that are miserable because they don't have a "real job", even though they don't really need one financially. That lack of power keeps them from being happy and choosing the lifestyle that would obviously be best otherwise.

2014. I don't remember with 100% confidence, but I'm pretty sure none of my (many) credit cards had a chip back in 2014.

Stores here didn't even start installing chip reader card stations until ~2018 or so.
How is this differentiated from UtilityAPI (https://utilityapi.com/) or other similar products?
I'm a white straight male, grew up middle class near Seattle. I'm now in my mid-30s and have 3 kids. Semi-recently I had an (maybe my first?) experience where I wasn't the favored party in a situation. My kids have made focus more difficult, and I work in an industry (tech consulting) where focus is a big deal, and the idea that I'm not the perfect person for the job was a foreign feeling. I no longer felt "I was made for this" or "I'm perfect for this".

While I hate that things are getting worse for anyone (and want to fix it!), these findings are good reminders for me that almost everyone else has dealt with similar circumstances much more often than I have. Often the cause is out of their control and that they are just trying to make the best of it, with varying results. It gives me good perspective and reminds me that peoples choices / actions include inputs that I'm not exposed to.

That all being said I hope we can find a way to make these situations less common for everyone. I'd settle for quick fixes (adjust taxes, better welfare, etc.), but I'm excited for the societal changes that I hope are the eventual long-term fix.

Don't be sad, it doesn't seem to work on Chrome either :)

To the authors: Personally I wouldn't put too much effort into cross-browser compatibility early on for the sake of satisfying the users of niche software, but ... almost all modern DOM features are available cross-browser/platform these days and it will likely save you a lot of effort further on down the road dealing with deprecated APIs and other headaches to use it as a smoke test for code quality.
I was just like you. Until a few months ago.

I have had mu4e set up for about a year, but I didn't feel comfortable in it, often reverting to the web clients instead, which was miserable. Recently I spent (many) hours making it really my own, and _my god_ what an amazing experience!

I have all my accounts in the same view (if I want). I have filters for everything. I can say "follow up" with 2 keystrokes, which will open up a calendar, allow me to pick a date, then the email will be automatically archived and I will not see anything about it until that date in my org-agenda. I use org-msg to compose these Outlook-style email for work (except I can easily quote, post syntax highlighted code, even with the real results embeded, etc).

I have 2-letter shortcuts to quickly cut down to the sender domain, the email FROM: address, everything from this address sent only to me, a filter for finding everything that looks like this subject.. I even have 2 letter shortcuts to fire up a browser with this Message-ID and open it (dynamic based on account) directly in the webclient (unless you are MS [1] who for some reason uses POST for their searches. I hack around it by adding a precise query to my clipboard). I don't often use this, but it can be handy.

This is all synced using isync. I have two systemd unit files. One which does the inbox-related stuff often, and another full sync which runs every hour if I recall correctly.

Finally, since this is all locally, search is instant. And since it is in emacs, I use all my normal shortcuts and everything.

I have finally been able to achieve inbox zero, something I never have before.

It took a lot of effort to get here, but I love it. Something really amazing would have to come along to displace my workflow, and I don't see that happening. notmuch is another option, which has tags support (mu4e does not). That is the only thing I miss in mu4e. However notmuch stores the tags in a local database which is not easily shared, so for now I am super happy with mu4e. And I often capture the email in org-mode anyway, which does support tags.

Most of the config for this in on github [2] (I still have some things to commit), if you are interested.

Waiting for tags to be stored in X-headers of the email reliably..

Also, nav is broken, and presumably emergency broadcast features are hosed as well. I wonder about backup cameras, and various driver assist things.

If a Model 3 had an analogous bug, then everything from the windshield washers to the climate control and rear view mirrors would be borked (I'd guess phone-based unlock would be too, at a minimum.)

Many Priuses integrate parts of the power train into the radio. I suspect they'd have serious issues too.

Of course, what matters is how integrated all this stuff is in a Mazda. That, I don't know.

I don't even see a single comment mentioning doing this in 1 cycle except from those who read the patent, much less reusing existing functional units to do so, so it's not clear to me any commenter came up with an equivalent to the patented solution or even identified the problem solved by it.

Keep in mind this solution was to support MPEG-1 video encoding in the olden days when state of the art processors were 100 MHz and 800 nm process. Doing this in 1 cycle while reusing already existing function units seems like a clever solution to me -- not patent-worthy, not difficult, but clever.
A lot of stable and reliable men have really good teenage years.

There is definitely an arc-type of socially awkward boys who grow up to be engineers, accountants, etc. But within that group, romantic prospects are positively correlated with employment prospects. An awkward guy w/ a job is better than an awkward guy w/o one.
> I am very confident in my ability to solve a problem / achieve a goal on my own, and I don't need some special program or exception to the rules in order to succeed.

Picture a distribution, like a bell curve or something.

The programs are meant for the side of that distribution that need it. You can talk about how the other side of the distribution doesn't need the help, but don't lose sight of the fact that many do.
I don't think Windows has the equivalent of futex2, waiting on multiple addresses. WaitOnAddress() in Windows is the equivalent of futex, waiting on a single address.

WaitForMultipleObjects() in Windows is for acquiring multiple locks, not for waiting on arbitrary addresses. The parameters to WaitForMultipleObjects() are mutex/semaphore/event/etc handles. When WaitForMultipleObjects() returns, the ownerships of the locks are actually acquired. E.g. for semaphore, the count is decremented by WaitForMultipleObjects().

Futex2 is more generic where it just waits on multiple arbitrary addresses. The locking is done separately.
Today Boston has a sunrise at 11:47 am utc and Los Angeles has a sunset 1:30am utc. That is 10+ hours where the USA gets zero sunlight. Inconveniently, we also hit peak energy usage during those 10 dark hours.

So if you want to ignore the storage problem, you need to rely on wind only. And if you have to dramatically over provision production to be able to meet demand, the cost benefits disappear.

Storage is a must for renewables to really take off.
The had me in the first half (not gonna lie) thinking that I just don’t know any of these words because I’m not a native speakers… But then I knew all the words in the second half. I’ll be showing this to my female techy colleagues, see what they get. I know for a fact that they know many of the latter. So I’m curious how this distributes over age or wage etc.

Of course, the true meaning of this statistic is in the absolute numbers which aren’t shown. Ie the number could be representing a massive amount of males and show tech bias, the other numbers could be representing a very low amount of females in fashion (it seems like).
So, let me get this clear, I just ... get in my car and go in a direction. No medication, no change of clothes, no toothbrush. I stop at some random location for the ... view? I ... sleep in the car? Help me out here, because none of this sounds like a good idea.

Well if I am being made to go to a conference, I kinda need my money back, you know? Bleak or not, they want receipts.
I don't think they do. The second step for a man to reproduce, after going through a male puberty, is to find a woman. The process is different for women, and may never even directly involve a man.

I maybe in a skewed population (FAANG) but women are much more aggressive here in urban areas. While I was walking downtown, a woman pulled her Mercedes over in traffic and shouted an offer at me. I thought she was hilarious and bold but not attractive enough.

In the past, this was sometimes a thing too: in 1943, my grandmother (15) decided to have my grandfather (21 - war vet at 17 by lying). Their 70-year marriage was technically illegal too.
> there are literally TV shows based around professional and solid home cooks struggling to use sub-par equipment.

I guess I'm not sure I consider TV shows -- who's role is to create viewer interest and can artificially manufacture drama to do so -- a very good judge of reality. Additionally, of course professional equipment will be easier for professionals to use. But most of the world uses electric ranges (about 50% of cooktops in the US are gas and that number is much lower in Europe and Asia), but somehow people get by.

The number of Tesla recalls continues to increase. Fortunately I didn't buy the Tesla hype.

I went to a local college few days back and I noticed that there were more girls than boys. I think part of the reason is due to high college debt many young men are choosing to take jobs and skipping college all together. This will translate to less men in the knowledge based/corporate jobs.
Well, yeah, but 300V allows smaller wires still, and 1000V even smaller, and so on. Hell, you could just wire distribution voltage straight to the socket, make the wires tiny, and eliminate the need for a zillion transformers! Of course, we don't do that for safety reasons, so the choice of socket voltage represents a compromise between safety and efficiency/power. The US and Britain made different tradeoffs, which probably means the constraints were slightly different. I could see "brews tea faster" as a significant factor in a country that once spent 10% of its GDP on tea. That would be a fun fact, if true. But maybe it isn't, and the whole thing is dumb luck and poor coordination around transformer tapping. Shrug.
I would absolutely love to be a teacher but the compensation and horror stories about the administration and parents is very disheartening.
In my opinion, there's already too much code altogether. Children should be discouraged from learning to code, or, if that proves impossible, be taught to refactor.
Thank you for your perspective! I have myself come to realize the importance of commitment, objectives and habit tracking.

> why are you trying to uplift yourself?

It comes from my personal experience. For example, if I am doing something for the first time, I do it enough to make it work. Maybe after a certain time, I forget those things. When I go back to the same old stuff, I realize that I could have done better when I started. I could have kept better notes, better links, better work. Doing so would have saved my own personal time!

The sloppy habit leaks into other aspects. Therefore, it feels quite inadequate. I am sorry if this made sense or not!
I didn't really get the sense that he was placing all the blame on "the wokes" as you put it though that is most certainly a factor in my opinion. The data he points out is relative to the state of things for women in most cases and shows that men are falling behind in dramatic ways. I don't think he is necessarily trying to say its the only issue of the day.
The if you survive but is key. If you survive to the point you need to scale like this you will no doubt have more resources available. Do what you can to get going now. Solve future problems as they come.
Well... that's one reading of things. Do they have numbers on people getting completely locked out of their accounts, or is that conveniently unmeasurable?
Just as long as you know you have succeeded in spite of it all and do not buy into the "almost failed despite being wildly privileged" idea that gets pushed.

(To be clear: I am wildly privileged to live in a Western country now instead of living almost anywhere else at any other time. I'm also generally happy to be a strong and healthy male. My thoughts are best best explained by the fact that 1. all else being equal I'd prefer to recruit a woman rather than a man to the company I work for because that gives me more "social credit" at work 2. Boys systematically do better on anonymous tests, at least in the western world.)
If Steam Deck is a success then I expect knock-off Steam Decks with such alternatives would be available in the near future.
> but the current direction is so frustrating I simply wish to move on to some other company which allows for higher velocity, in any direction. Any advice?

Maybe find a company that better fits your ideals?

Trying to reshape management culture from an IC position is an uphill battle, to say the least. Either embrace what they’re giving you and do your best within it, or move on to some place that fits better. You’ll never find a perfect fit, but you also don’t want to be stuck somewhere if it’s just making you more and more disgruntled.
