You can't have a conversation online anymore. If I mention this stuff to people in town, they take it seriously. Just because someone worse exists in the world doesn't make bad people good.
I'm a long-time Linux user and I know the short cut and use it often. Nonetheless I have no notion why the Nautilus developers consider this to be a better UI than just rendering an editable path!
>Gen Z is also more diverse and broadly anti-American (or “anti-imperialist”)

An irony, considering that Russian imperialism is the one that actually performs land grabs and ethnic cleansing without even trying to cover it up.
I have already moved to workspace for now. There will be no charges until August or so. And then 50% off through August of 2023. So its....not awesome but gives me breathing room to find an alternative (Or just stay the course).

I will say one gotcha that got me...The dont allow Google Voice for workspace. If youhave a legacy account, even on the gsuite it should be fine, but you cant setup new service. And if you mark the payment account as "individual" you have NO options. If you set it as a business you could get google voice as a paid service.

Payment accounts cant be changed once setup. Which is crazy.
Do you have a specific example? Did they miss some pytorch optimization? It takes work to write fast idiomatic code. It's not fair to expect someone to be able to squeeze every ounce of performance across n languages and n frameworks. So it's natural that they're not going to know every trick.

Part of what Julia offers is that you need less tweaking, and the whole stack is in julia so it's quite hackable.
>I can only imagine how miserable photographers’ experience must be

Photographers don't use Linux.
We can certainly stipulate how things should work in a fantasyland where everyone behaves rationally and courts produce principled decisions. But that isn't the world where we actually live. And this is where most of capital-L Libertarian ideology falls apart.
There is no zenith. Own your life. Get out of your head.

Everything you've done up to this point has only been a prelude to whatever you choose to do next. If you choose to see those years as your zenith and stop doing anything, that's on you, it's not because you've supposedly reached some mythical temporal horizon. You've accrued experiences, skills, wisdom, perspective, understanding, relationships, and resources. If you can't see a way to turn those into meaningful next pursuits, then (again) that's on you. Don't make excuses for yourself.

Our culture unfortunately worships youth. We seem to think that life after 40 is downhill, but this just isn't true. From 40 to 70 or even 80 is a PRIME period of life. You have the things you need to do world-changing work, the confidence that comes from hard-won experience, and the tangible life experience to appreciate the meaningfulness and beauty of every single moment.

So-called "zeniths" are whatever you decide they are. If you reached your absolute best in one skillset, pick up a new one. Reinvent yourself and kick off a whole new career. Serve the people around you. Try to make the world better somehow for your having been here. There's no end of things you could do. Don't waste any more time with this angsty self-pity. Life is too fleeting and too wonderful to be so self-absorbed.
Try It and See
The solution is actually within you already. Learn to appreciate the moment, nature, the wind and rain, the sun rays, the general bussle of the world. Really! it is like a muscle, something you have to train and learn, but the brilliance of life is actually right there in front of you in every moment. Don't do therapy, that will send you further down the tunnel. Focus on learning to open your eyes, and train for it, every day. Start with the Waking Up app by sam harris.
Usually food that doesn't change is not affected by price changes tends to be some of the worst and unhealthiest.

Arizona iced tea being a prime example. They should just call it diabetes in a can.

Others are the Mickey D's cheese burger or the taco bell tacos.

It's so tasty and addictive but so bad for you. I'm not surprised it still costs the same.
> supporting parents

> self made

The two concepts cannot coexist. Someone who is supported by others is not self-made.

Turning wealth into wealth is not an accomplishment. It was already there.
Personal experience has jaded me a bit on this. On 3 different occasions, I offered friends an almost guaranteed well-paying job at companies I was working at. All three of them turned it down:

- One was morally opposed to working at a software company

- One didn't want to get a drivers' license

- One started then quit after an internship because they didn't like the industry (it wasn't video games) and did not want to put up with a learning curve.

So while I commiserate who benefit from from a parental safety net (I would have loved to have had more rent-free years if I could), for my relationship with my friends it is often very frustrating. And it's easiest mentally if I treat them as someone enjoying the luxury of choices rather than chronically enfeebled.
The supply curve you are thinking about exists when you are talking about a market with multiple suppliers. If we’re discussing a single product from one supplier, the supply curve becomes a vertical line.
"Xi and the CCP/Chinese Government make a bid to buy Google, for a 20% premium."

If this were to happen, the bid would be reviewed by the CFIUS -- https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/international/the-co... ; based on the review, the transaction could be blocked by executive order.
I looked it up and found this interesting read: https://jshint.com/relicensing-2020/
I hear you friend, you've been to the highest of highs and lowest of lows and now are like a surfer back on dry land thinking of the last big wave, or a soldier back from war wandering around a flower garden. The cognitive dissonance of your otherwise great life with the life you thought you would be living makes every moment unenjoyable and meaningless.

As someone in healthcare who takes care of depression, the pills, TMS, and ketamine are not meant to cure depression. They are meant to decrease the risk of impulsivity, improve function, and decrease suicide.

To get out of depression, you have to find meaning again in the life you were given, and then faithfully follow that which gives you meaning so that you do not become lost again.

Religion is perhaps mankinds best answer because many philosophers who thought about these very questions of meaning were religious thinkers. Ecclesiastes is a great book to read.
Most of your intuitions are probably correct. You probably are past your zenith, and it probably is a slow decline from here. Your life probably doesn't have much real meaning. In fact, it's likely that none of us here really do.

So get over it. You still won the lottery in this universe in that you ever existed in the first place. Make the best of what remains.
Indeed for most people coming from low income backgrounds, if they are academically strong then they will likely go for a safer career choice such as engineering, medicine, finance, law etc

If you are a writer/artist/etc then likely your circle of friends will be disproportionately people with at least some safety net from home. That doesn’t mean it reflect all of societ
I mean his is the quintessential “both-sides” take that pushes (younger) people to be “unsure” about who they support, no?

Russia is bad, but so is Ukraine and NATO, too. Russia is bad but Ukraine does have a Nazi problem. People like him are probably the greatest contributors to the large amount of Gen Z who are unsure as to who they support.
I don't think the far right or far left media is more "anti-war" than the mainstream media.

After all, the NYT is also publishing opeds about how the US shouldn't institute a no-fly zone: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/25/opinion/no-fly-zone-ukrai...

Anti-war is the mainstream opinion in the US from pretty much top to bottom.

When I talk about something being pro-Russia or not I am referring to stuff like Hasan saying that Russia's annexation of Crimea was ethical, Nick Fuente's literal cheering for Putin, etc.
Free shipping plus additional fees for fuel, vehicle maintenance and driver salaries. Love it.
I have always been negative about Ketamine but I likely misunderstand it. After some research, it sounds okay. I'm not a big fan of using any substance as a solution to a problem but I understand why people do. I am not an expert and you can forget I said anything
Newspapers are a red herring because they have limited space and don't solicit opinion pieces from random people. It is censorship to obstruct someone from posting on some social media site because their post is bad/wrong/dangerous. What else could it be?

Under some conditions censorship is acceptable. The law, for example, sets those conditions at "incitement to imminent lawless action". Private companies need to set their own conditions for censorhip. My argument is that the bar should be high, much higher that it is on most sites, and that free speech culture is extremely valuable.

My historical argument is simply that, in the US, there was a period of openness followed by a period of consolidation. This was the result of the media that existed (nationally prominent papers and tv channels are necessarily centralized). We're heading back to openness due to the internet. Enjoy the ride.
What does this have to do with the article or imglorp's post? How is this relevant to the discussion at all? What are you trying to say? I don't understand why you are bringing this up. Would you please explain it?
If you want to know how the feather trick works, here's the explanation

Step 1: Ask for 2 people to stand apart blindfolded

Step 2: While explaining the set up to the crowd, surreptitiously brush Person A's arm with a feather

Step 3: Walk over to Person B and brush their arm with a feather as well

Step 4: Ask Person A if they felt anything strange. Person A recalls being brushed with a feather.

Since Person A is blindfolded, they don't know what, and more importantly - when, Person B was brushed as well so it all seems rather impressive
> I don't think it's beyond possibility to create thoughtful, functional paper straws.

I agree, it's probably solvable—but the vast majority of paper straws that are I've received, aren't that. If they can get a good paper straw, I'd be fine with it.
OP has just invented "Proof of Grief", a new way to mint crypto. Burn one to get an actual human being at Google to help you with a problem that they themselves caused for you.

The demand for this coin is basically unlimited.
Disagree. I'm in the 'young' bracket here but researching geopolitics/military is something of a hobby for me.

I'm not arguing that the young are all like me, but rather that I applaud my generation for being skeptical, at least from an intervention POV. I still side strongly with Ukraine but this is a complex issue and rolling the tanks against a country with less GDP than NY does not make the world inherently safer. The older generations, on the other hand, were raised in the context of Russia being a world power while at this time they've revealed themselves to be objectively not.

However, a Sino-Russian alliance would be an absolute nightmare scenario and direct military involvement would give China a possible excuse to back Russia. As long as they remain neutral-ish then it's safe to let this play out, particularly given how things are going so far.

Now, the area that concerns me is how many are openly supporting Russia. Skepticism is great but I don't think there's any reason to voice support for Russia at this time.

So, what's your passion in life, what makes you tick?

Besides money and status, I mean.

The stuff you mention is mostly distractions, it will never make you happy.
The biggest pet peeve I have is creating a new file/folder in an already populated folder. You can't right click anywhere without opening a context menu for a file. Getting a context menu for the folder itself to show can be an impossible fight at times.
Seems like it's within sampling error:

Especially when flu itself can cause loss of smell/taste:

https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1988-02-21-mn-44059-... (1988)

It's not clear if in those cases the loss lasted after end of use. My guess it resolved on its own.
Same age, situation and feeling here too. Unfortunately I have lost my drive for intellectual and creative pursuits, though. I've got a point where I've already figured out all the things I was curious about in my youth and no more have been added to the list. It just doesn't seem worth it with nobody to share life with.

I'm considering volunteering for something to make myself useful. One of things missing for a solitary man is being useful. I don't need anything. I live a very minimal life so all my problems are sorted and new ones don't crop up very often. I've accepted that love won't be happening but maybe I can at least feel appreciated.
I'm not so sure that's true. The logic of both left and right people I've talked to is something like: Western elites are terrible, Ukraine colluded with those elites/is their puppet (wanted to join Nato/EU/etc), Russia is opposed to Western elites, and is therefore a positive force. I've talked to many people of both political persuasions and they try to minimize Russian wrongdoing and emphasize Western provocation (poking the bear).

Of course, they have different reasons for disliking western elites, but their arguments end up remarkably similar.
The article is an extremely needlessly complicated explanation of a relatively simple principle: symbols are stored once and referenced by pointer, strings are stored multiple times and not so easily compared. Ergo, for many use-cases symbols are faster and use less memory.

Some of these use cases are little tokens like single words that are used in as values in function arguments, or a switch statement. On the other hand, storing the user's inputted name as a symbol whilst copying that data to your model object is probably not a good idea.

Yes this explanation leaves out a lot of detail.
There were still private transactions that valued Alibaba far lower that you claim. What justification do you have for your claim?
Fool me once... shame on... shame on you. You fool me you can't get fooled again!
I used GPT-3 to generate some porn scripts of various historical dictators and modern politicians that were pretty funny. Putins secret romance with Kim Jung Un was especially saucy, until Osama Bin Laden found out and told the EU. I'd be happy to find them and put them on a blog somewhere if there was an audience ha!
Do you have any recommendations for which publication/edition to choose? I have a Wikipedia-fueled, cursory knowledge of Georgism, but I'd like to learn more because it does seem compelling and relevant as you noted. It seems that it keeps coming up.
I think we need to be careful in how this is read. It has some great public interest points, but also includes some language which more or less would prevent sentiment that was contrary to regime policies, etc. But again, lots of positives too.

Art 6: “… actively disseminate positive energy, and promote the application of algorithms to be good.”

You've checked all the boxes on some conventional checklist.

Now you have the terrifying option of doing what you want.

And now you have adult money to buy the metaphoric muscle car.

At forty-four you've just come up for air.

Good luck.
I agree. The younger respondents tend to consume media that's not only more politically diverse, but often a little more nuanced than many of the mainstream outlets. Less black-and-white thinking is bound to lead to opinions that aren't so easily reflected in a "Yes, No, Unsure" poll.
Or you can just acknowledge that all software comes with warts, problems, and limitations.

It's been while since I used it but I think all KDE applications store configuration in $HOME. I don't remember any global registry nonsense like in GNOME and Windows.
Someone noted this in a thread on Reddit. Will be very funny to see the political spectrum reflect on this; suddenly many crying first amendment will be taking the position you quoted while some of those there now will may perhaps argue for Twitter to become a subsidiary of PBS (joking).
We assume iced tea is sold in a spherical can in a vacuum in economics too?
My recommendation is to go out and do something physical. Doesn’t matter what it is, but I chose running. If you’re comfortable in your own head for a time, running works wonders. One of my friends did the same, but took up cycling. Either way, being able to go out and have 30+ minutes to yourself can really help work through things. It’s not a replacement for anything you’re currently doing, but it helped me. The key for me was consistency. I run a bit every day, no days off. The combination of physical activity with the quiet is mentally quite helpful for me. YMMV, but we’re about the same age. Even just the physical benefit is worthwhile.

I started out with small goals (run once a day for a week) and progressed from there, for two weeks, for a month, well, I made it this far, might as well keep going… let’s run in a 10K… a marathon?!?! The point for me wasn’t really to run in a race, but to have a goal — something to work towards.

I hope you find something that helps.
I'm curious, why do this for entertainment rather than therapy?

I know about and practiced some NLP and hypnosis, but mostly to get over some personal problems. (Bandler himself cured me of depression.) Once that was done, I kinda lost interest. But there's a nagging doubt, shouldn't I be trying to help people with this? Or at least try to spread the word?

It seems to me that the self-referential use and development of the mind is more of an Information Revolution than the transistor/logic based technological revolution, eh?
It seems to me that you are implying that the people who previously defended twitter's decisions to ban certain public features may not fare so well under a regime managed by Elon Musk.

Everything that follows is based on that inference.

There are two major possibilities here. Either Musk lets twitter continue much in the same manner as it operates today. In which case, nothing really changes.

Musk operates twitter as his personal bullhorn, promoting beneficial tweets and removing tweets that are critical of him, his companies, his ideals, whatever. All of which would be his right to do. However, all actions have consequences.

Twitter isn't twitter because it was ordained from on high as the service to spit hot takes in 140 characters or less. Twitter is twitter because of everything twitter did. From the initial concept, to the pivoting to whatever the hell "micro-blogging" is, to letting people say mostly whatever, to the various standards they've implemented over the years. All of that makes twitter what it is.

If twitter just becomes "Elon Musk's dream platform where he can shit post all day and no one can say shit to him", that's entirely something else. Most of the people left on twitter would be Musk and people who want to follow him.

Like how the crowd shifted from Slashdot to Digg to reddit. From Friendster to MySpace to Facebook. Something will come along and supplant twitter.

So, I believe the people who "advocated "it's a private company, it can deplatform whoever it wants"" are going to be fine with their stance. Because if Musk changes twitter into a shithole, no one is going to want to stay regardless.
Or perhaps even clearer: go to the other limit, cost of $1; drop in sales while going from break even to profitable.

Gah no! This isn't true! Even if you turn on frozen string literals comparing two strings is slower because they have to test for a non-frozen and non-interned string also happening to be the same.

There's a pointer comparison, but behind it is on the failure side is a full-byte-comparison. Atrocious for cache even if the strings are tiny. If they aren't you're checking every byte!
It's hilarious to me that services like Uber and Lyft, who prided themselves on their free market variable pricing, now need to add explicit fuel surcharges because of market conditions. Why isn't your magical free market accounting for it already in the ride price?
Feeling emphathetic. Per other comments, pls take my advice with a grain of salt.

I am no way as successful as you are, and yet feel I have been in a midlife crisis every year of my life since I was 20. Now that the world sees you as successful, if you could just do what you wanted, regardless of everybody's opinion, what would you do? Where would you find energy and passion? Many of us follow what society tells us is success but we'd rather be fishing, writing poetry, daydreaming, be small-town pastry chefs just for the pleasure of it. If you could do something crazy that is a source of pleasure and joy, what would you do? Can you pursue it as a hobby, or a job (not needing some glorious long term goals)?
I have good news for you: there is still a veritable cornucopia of tweets about Hunter's laptop, and the Steele dossier, and COVID policies, and trans folk as athletes out there. I see them every damned day with my own eyes. While there have been a few people who violated the ToS while pushing those agendas, it's hard to argue that anything of real value was lost during its enforcement.
also has OP explored pharmaceuticals? I did a year of prozac, am off now, and it completely reset me. The hole I was in and was incapable of climbing out of by myself is now in the rear view mirror.

edit - I missed it in OP - but perhaps the same feedback, try something else? good luck OP.

Inheritance taxes take wealth away from heirs, but unless there’s tremendous faith in the quality of government it’s not clear that it benefits everyone else. In the US the people who’d get richer from the government being flush with inheritance tax money are more Lockheed Martin / Blackwater / private prisons / Wall Street / consultants. In India it would be bureaucrats and their cronies. I’d rather the wealth be passed on and used productively, or squandered into the local economy. Happy either way.
That's the Gnome ethos of being against customizability.
