This is a matter of ideology? You're saying the principles of young people in the US say it's OK to invade another country that did not attack first? Or because they found some news sources saying Putin is justified?

I guess I just don't see any sense in that argument. Do kids today not think for themselves? Have they no principles of their own?

Wow. Today is definitely the right time to reinstate the US military draft.

If nothing else, the prospect of yourself dying in the mud of a distant foreign land should motivate US kids to finally give a damn about power-crazed politicians killing multitudes of human beings for... whatever platitude manages to get a million retweets.

I would outright disagree with this - data science and ML is a subfield of software where you have a much higher ratio of greenfield projects over the past decade, and you also have many people who are moving to the field or are starting out in it. It also attracts the kinds of people who will be willing to use cool tech just for the sake of it. If that's not conducive to picking a new programming language with lots of promises, I don't know what is. And they still aren't picking Julia.
People sign up for the military often with good intentions, yet they don't often get to choose what the military then does with them. You're seemingly assigning responsibility for an entire invasion to a foot soldier.

I am not a victim, however, news, truthfulness and openness are victims. There are instances where you can't post reasonably certain events, not to mention verifiable facts, if they are counter narrative, but you can post unverified or very suspect information, if it follows a preferred narrative --that should be of concern.

> 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

This sounds strange from a Finnish perspective. Fields with a clear professional identity and good career prospects are highly competitive, and it takes more than just being academically strong to get to study them. At least in my time, students of fields such as law and medicine were far more likely to come from wealthy high-status families with educated parents than those in more academic fields such as CS and history.

I used to know someone who joked he was the only leftist law student in his class of ~200. Leftist medical students were more common, but both fields were strongly associated with right-wing politics.
App / coupons are a decent way to have a little elasticity on price and maximize revenue from people that will pay more and still appeal to a bargain-hunter. At least here there is always a 20% off the total order deal available in the app so that's an immediate discount for a relatively small effort.

Fair enough, I was thinking more of a classic win by defeating the Russian army on the battlefield. But the kind of loss the USSR had in Afghanistan might be possible without much if any help from abroad.
Do we ever hear people talk about "free speech" without regards to someone being moderated off of a platform? The only reason we have talking points such as Facebook/Twitter = Utility/Town-Square is because right-wingers were being moderated off of digital platforms. Before recently, no one really cared unless it was something such as a child wearing an offensive t-shirt at school.

Thanks I will give this a go. I had a long fling with Lua a while back. Wrote everything in Lua -- it is a great language. I would have used it for data science if only it had more well maintained packages. The main API for Torch was in Lua for a while before they abandoned it for Python. Had that carried on we could be using Torch with Fennel right now.

So what was Musk's net worth when he was twenty?

Probably less than 0,1 per cent of his net worth today. Possibly less than 0,01 per cent.

Multiplying your net worth by a factor of several thousand is fairly rare, regardless of the circumstances you start in. Most people can't do it, even if they start reasonably well off. For example, Musk's own brother Kimbal couldn't.
So, I don't exactly see how one uses this in an already-embedded Lua. For example, my son knows Lisp, and a bit of Lua because he uses PowderToy, which (to your point) has built-in Lua. So if he wanted to program his Lua extensions to PowerToy in Lisp (Fennel) instead of Lua, how would he go about it, exactly? Compile outside of PT from Lisp to Lua and then load the Lua code into PT, or, run the Fennel Lua code on PT's internal Lua? Either seems clunky. I skimmed the online doc, and there may be someplace that gives guidance on this, but I didn't see it right away. If you can point it out (or, if it doesn't exist, perhaps explain a bit) that would be great. Thanks!

There's no mention of GPUs, TPUs, or indeed QPUs in the memory hierarchy described by Wikipedia!

Locality of reference ("Data locality") > Spatial and temporal locality usage :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locality_of_reference

Memory hierarchy
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_hierarchy :

> Most modern CPUs are so fast that for most program workloads, the bottleneck is the locality of reference of memory accesses and the efficiency of the caching and memory transfer between different levels of the hierarchy [citation needed]. As a result, the CPU spends much of its time idling, waiting for memory I/O to complete. This is sometimes called the space cost, as a larger memory object is more likely to overflow a small/fast level and require use of a larger/slower level. The resulting load on memory use is known as pressure (respectively register pressure, cache pressure, and (main) memory pressure). Terms for data being missing from a higher level and needing to be fetched from a lower level are, respectively: register spilling (due to register pressure: register to cache), cache miss (cache to main memory), and (hard) page fault (main memory to disk).

Is it that PCIe is necessarily implied by the debuggable pipeline specified by the von Neumann architecture?

I think it's interesting to note how differently people see this conversation!

> advocated "it's a private company, it can deplatform whoever it wants"

To me, this compresses several conversations into one:

- In the US, the first amendment applies to the government, not to private actors, so companies do not need to allow any particular person on their site (with the provision that it's illegal to ban people because they are part of a protected class).

- The idea of a "public square" is in flux and we are in the midst of trying to figure out what areas of our interactions we would like to consider public and what the advantages and disadvantages each approach are.

- The tactic of urging private companies to ban certain people for certain reasons as practiced by many groups (often with different justifications).

Different groups have different interests at each level and have different preferences as to how policy should change. In some sense, your statement of: "I bet some of those who..." will always be correct because of course *some of them* will! I have a guess about how you feel about the above issues (and other involved issues that I didn't break out), but I'd be interested to have you expand what you actually mean.

When I just graduated CS I started teaching a bootcamp. I was one of the best teachers and some of my students are having better careers than I do as a software engineer.

If I've learned anything: technical skills need to be medium, teaching skills need to be high. I also observed about 5 teachers (sitting in on their classes with their permission) and have seen teachers that have:

- high programming, high teaching skils (e.g. compiler construction, web-design, SIMD stuff, reverse engineering with x64, PHP, C++, trees with cycles, it didn't matter, he could do it)

- high web dev, low teaching skills (he got fired)

- high web dev, medium teaching skills, from a macho culture (he got fired, as I come from a more egalitarian/feminine culture)

- medium web dev, high teaching skills (he aced it)

Try to max out your 401k or contribute as much as possible as early as possible and invest it into low-cost index funds. Compounding interest is one of the most powerful wealth builders there is, but it only works over long periods of time. What you put in now while you're young will be worth significantly more than putting in larger contributions later.

Funds to buy: VOO (S&P 500), VT (or VTSAX) (Global Total Stock Market), VTI (US Total Stock Market).

After that, I'd say buy a fast car while you're young and can enjoy it. But don't buy new. 90s sports cars were better anyway.

Finally, focus on relationships, use the things you love to do as a way to meet people and build relationships. The relationships you make now are what will sustain you as an adult. It's much harder to make friends at 30 than it is at 18.

> you just start contributing

Before doing anything I think it's wise to look at how other contributors were treated. Sometimes maintainers just aren't very open to contribution. Gotta pick one's battles, otherwise it can lead to a lot of wasted effort. Spending time exploring a complex codebase and formulating a patch set only to end up being ignored can be a very negative experience.
It's tricky because I don't know what Web 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 etc even mean since they're poorly defined. Generally I see the anti-Web2.0 digital vegan perspectives to be about opposing Javascript. I maintain that the Web after widespread Javascript was strictly more usable for non-technical people. I disagree that the pre-JS web was somehow incomplete or in a developer preview.

What area are you in? Local to me (DC metro), I know about a half-dozen former teachers who transitioned into corporate L&D/instruction/etc (all prior to COVID, so maybe the market has changed). Most of them had Masters degrees in education. Can't tell you what they did to get interviews, but it was definitely a viable career path in the 2010s.

Edit - my wife made a massive career change about a decade ago. But, different industry and background. No college, but worked to director-level at her then-employer. She knew she wanted to change, so got them to pay for her MS degree, worked the required time after, and found another job.

My part was just being extra helpful with our son - more of the driving to sports and things like that. Helping more around the kitchen. And also serving as editor while she working on the MS - it was an adjustment doing academic writing after many years of corporate jargon.
I used to think this, but I no longer do. I'm also mid 40s. People say that religion gives them meaning, but I think what it really gives them is community. Especially with the pandemic, all of the "automatic" ways that we used to run into friends and acquaintances have dried up. It takes much more active effort now.

While I'm surely projecting on to OP, I think it is very common for very career or goal-focused folks to have good but perhaps not overwhelming success, then hit their mid-40s and think "Umm, what do I do now?" This can be especially common for folks that perhaps sacrificed some of their personal relationships in pursuit of their goals.

I was very lucky in that I had a fantastic therapist who really helped me understand the roots of my depression. Even then, though, after a while insight can only go so far. It's very clear to me that I've neglected nurturing my friendships and relationships, and I think there are likely others out there in a similar predicament, especially on a place like HN. I've actually started to search for a life coach that can really assist with the tactical side of nurturing friendships. That was a big missing piece from my therapy, which was otherwise great.

On one hand it's kind of embarrassing to feel like I need to pay someone to say "Yes, it's been a while, you should call Jane", and "Did you mail your Christmas cards?", and "Did you send a thank you note to Bob?", and "Why don't you invite the Jones over for dinner?", but I've come to see it like a personal trainer. Most people know the basics of working out, but they need to pay someone to actually get them to exercise. On the friendship topic, for some folks this sort of "social knowledge" comes naturally - I've come to easily accept it's not natural for me and I need some assistance.

As far as I've seen from studies of happiness, basically it all comes down to "love", it all its different forms. Modern society makes it much more difficult to build a true sense of community and friendships. I think we all just need to spend the effort to find it without some of the "default" structures that used to exist in the past.

Never agreed more and these aren't isolated things.

I used to use my desktop as a scratch disk. Desktop icons used to be handled by an instance of Nautilus in much the same way as Explorer does in Windows.

Then one day, one developer disabled it. This followed a low-feedback discussion, a quick sermon that using the desktop was wrong, and that was that. Months later when this impacted popular cadence distributions, it was clear it was a problem but the limo promise that Gnome Shell extensions would be good enough, well... They've fallen far shorter than what I need.

My productivity has fallen because one dev who wanted the mantle of maintainer, took decisions for a million users without real consultation.

Neither is correct. Gen Z, like all young generations, is idealistic, anti-status quo, and thinks their experiences and perspectives are completely unique and novel. As they get older they will transition, hopefully retaining some of their more progressive and forward thinking values, which will become imbedded in society and so the cycle will continue.

You don't have to look very hard for the other side's version though.

Question is whether you think "Russia made a planned withdrawal from the north of the country after completing all the objectives of this military exercise which definitely isn't a war" is a more plausible description of the short-lived invasion of the north of the country than "Russia's advances have slowed down... Russia stopped advancing... Russia is retreating...". Both narratives agree that the facts on the ground are that Russian troops made large scale incursions into the north of Ukraine but aren't there any more.

Yes, most Western media has sought to emphasize Russian casualties over Ukrainian ones and Ukrainian minor success over Russian ones, but it's not like Western media hasn't been free to predict Russia will have full control of Mariupol in a couple of days for over a month now and talk up the Russian convoy advancing on Kyiv which never made it there, or like the official Russian narrative isn't palpably absurd.
The baseline expectation was Ukraine folding within 3-4 days. They were doing much better then expected, Russian original plan folded entirely.
Don't compare your experiences with Ukraine. They fight a very different war, on their own territory (often their own cities). They literally defending their families, no less.
