>Are you saying if an industry has any bad parts, it can't have any good parts?

Cryptocurrency is not an industry and doesn't have any good parts. The technology itself is useless and universally bad for any practical purpose. It solves no problems, it only creates them. The "good things" done by companies using cryptocurrency are in spite of the technology, not because of it. Some companies don't even seem to bother with this though, and I'll call those out specifically.

I would also call out a virus-scanning company if we found out they were secretly developing and deploying the viruses on the side and then selling the solution to increase their own profits. The same thing is happening here with a lot of blockchain products except they aren't even trying to keep it a secret what they're doing.

I think only having "sort" and "stable sort" makes sense for the same reason there's only one hashmap or one vector in most standard libraries: 99% of the time you just want a high-quality implementation of one reasonable choice, without getting into the weeds of it.

Most of the time I don't care if it's timsort or quicksort, or if the hashmap uses Cuckoo hashing or buckets made of linked lists. Of course there are the 1% of cases where I notice that my sort or hashmap is a performance bottleneck and that a different algorithm might perform better. But standard libraries aren't good at serving that need because they have to be broadly applicable and conservative, if I already know that I want top performance for specific requirements I'm almost certainly better served by an external library.
How is loan forgiveness doing anything for the next generation?

Fixing the current shit show that is college tuition/loan is a completely different problem from the forgiving of existing loans. AFAIK the 1st one has quasi-unanimous support, while the 2nd one is clearly very debatable.

Conflating the two is unproductive.

What? No, advocating for destroying the old world and remaking it according to a"scientific" vision isn't particularly yimby. Ymimby is about not banning people from doing what they want with their property.
It feels like a mix of both.

Even in my relatively walkable suburb (Reston, VA), it's not really walkable by a child. And things are far enough that a bike is better.

But, just around the beltway in Silver Spring, there was a family that made the news a few years ago because they let their kids walk to/from the playground. This was a few city blocks, in an urban area. Somebody saw the kids, went full Karen and called the police, and child protective services got involved. It was a mess.

This is just it though! You're not describing "Apple fanatics versus Windows fanatics," you're describing "Apple fanatics versus people with an irrational and excessive hatred of Apple fanaticism." Why does this culture exist specifically around Apple?

By that logic, auto emissions test locations would never issue failing tests for their customers cars, and IT cert companies would never issue failing grades to people who take their cert tests.
The really crazy thing would be to end the student loan system without providing an alternative. If you do that, only kids with rich parents get to go to college.

The current system is far from perfect but it enables kids to attend college regardless of their parents' wealth. Any replacement system needs to enable that too.

> I'm becoming more and more convinced that the modern adult's emotional maturity now stops developing in middle school.

This is probably 99% survivorship bias. You don't end up reading about the feelings emotionally mature people on the Internet because they it's not very interesting to read about their feeling or experiences.

Here's trick I try to use whenever I find myself believing some generalization about people: Ask myself "How many people do I know in person that fit this generalization?"

Now, certainly, my in-person circle is a biased sample in many ways. But the set of poeple you end up reading about on the Internet is also highly biased and in particularly skewed ways. If I find that a generalization doesn't fit most of the people I know, I discard it as mostly a consequence of the natural bias that humans prefer negative news about bad people.

Almost everyone is fine.

> High school kids are idiots for the most part, why would you be letting their idiocy back then affect you as a grown, independent adult today. Have some self respect for pete's sake.

Many people enter high school not just with the random abuse and misbehavior of their fellow kids but also other trauma from earlier in their life. If they were, say, abandoned by their parents, sexually abused by a neighbor, or suffered some other violent act, it may not be so easy to "have some self-respect for pete's sake."

Or, put less charitably, what it is about you that prevents you from feeling compassion towards people that are struggling emotionally and instead instead leads you to react in frustration? Who are you to judge? Maybe you aren't as fully healed as you'd like to believe either.

Reading this is like a manifesto on the maladjusted millenial mind (sorry, this sentence was a coincidence). Didn’t we used to have movie tropes about deranged people who could not move on past high school? Is this “caught up in trauma from slight bullying (getting called ugly) in high school decades ago” the new normal? I’m just going to go out and say this- the author and likeminded people are just weird, and this shouldn’t be considered normal. Just tell the bully to piss off, like an adult, threaten something legal if they keep harassing you, and go back to enjoying your life. This cloying coddling of something that should be a nonissue a decade+ later is a both alarming and repulsive. And look- there are people who experience actual trauma in childhood who deserve sympathy- I’m absolutely not commenting at all on them.
> Why can't these people shrug it off

It depends what it is. And it depends on the person's circumstances. A strong support system at home can be a big help. Friends as well. Some people just get a terrible hand in all areas of life and there's a compounding effect. The amount of abuse that is allowed in schools is insane. It's like a separate social system where it's everyone for themselves. Nobody wants to enforce laws, or protect people, and this is where we send our most vulnerable.
It is not redundant to say "average case O(n log(n))". It's not formally a correct usage of O(). But colloquially, it means that the average number of operations over all possible inputs on length n is X.

It is redundant to say "worst case O(n^2)". By definition, O(X) means that the maximum of the number of operations over all possible inputs of length n is at most X.

One of the peculiarities of the situation is that because so many Universities receive federal funding, they wind up being held accountable as if they were some other government institution. I suspect if this had happened at a totally private college taking in no federal money the case would have been decided differently.

I've wondered about this, because I hear about bullying a lot on various neighborhood social media groups, etc. When I was in school I felt like I was a victim of bullying. Looking back with my grown-up perspective and having gone to talk to a therapist about a lot of it, there was definitely some legit bullying, and I absolutely buy that that happens to other people now. Kids can say or do some pretty cruel things, sometimes without even realizing it. And I think our hyper-connected world has made some of these dynamics worse or harder to escape.

There was, however, also just the fact that I was extremely awkward, having immigrated multiple times at key times in my social development, and I just didn't really feel connected to anyone or know how to relate to the other kids around me. I acted pretty unlikable in a lot of ways, and other kids could have been more sensitive to that but at a certain point that's just an unreasonable expectation. I interpreted the way they acted to me as bullying, but looking back that was what helped me grow out of it and be able to relate to people better.

I don't want to extrapolate from my experience and say that kids feeling bullied need to just deal with it and grow through it, but I think that's a factor in at least some other cases. What I thought of reading this article was my own experience on the other side: I moved back to near my home town after a decade away, and I messaged some people who I had felt had bullied me at one point in time but with whom I had been Facebook friends for a while. We ended up having a really good chat over lunch or something, and it was healing to feel "Hey - grown-up-you is actually pretty nice and cool, and grown-up-me is capable of talking to you and feeling mutual respect". It stopped feeling like they had bullied me, and felt more like man, growing up can be weird.
> And got rid of the best parts of their catalog

I'm not sure they have much of a choice in the matter, given the remaining movie producing companies are trying to fund/build alternatives. Netflix would gladly host all the latest Disney movies, but they aren't allowed to anymore.

Netflix was well aware of this several years ago and leaned into it, but failed to focus on quality.
"Ain't bothering me" as an attitude applies if you don't have an attachment to the person. In this case, the partner is actually bothered by it. They don't have a right to force a halt but concerns about major behavioral changes are reasonable for a loved one to have in this situation. "Ain't bothering me" also only applies if you disregard the potential damage to local underground infrastructure, other people's property, hitting a gas line and cause a major issue, etc.

If they're in a rural area where those aren't potential issues and the boyfriend doesn't want to change, then the partner simply has to decide if they can live with the new situation. I think we'd agree on that.

---

I'm confused on your comments about reading into the partner's mental health. I see no indication in their post saying they're concerned about how it looks to others. As for non-conforming, they seem to be somewhat accepting, stating that they haven't made it a big issue before because the boyfriend seems relatively happy. They specifically say, "My biggest concern is his safety". That seems reasonable. Major behavioral changes on the other hand would be a bigger warning sign. (while acknowledging that a red flag doesn't mean there's an actual issue)

EDIT: From an update [1] here's why the boyfriend says he does it: "It’s just pleasant. When I’m down there, I feel safe and calm, and I’m always happier when I leave than when I went in"

I suppose there are worse coping mechanisms than that.

Hmm, do they? I believe everyone has tales like this but I was visiting Grover Beach a couple of months ago sitting on my friend's porch and you know what happened? A small group of kids came flying down the road on electric scooters. I saw them a mile away later when I went to get a haircut with no sign that they were going back. No helmets or anything. One of them said to the other "I think mine is in low speed or something" and the other said "Why would you do that" and then disappeared over the hill screaming "I AM SPEEEED!". It reminded me of my childhood and that maybe 5% of these kids are going to die of traumatic brain injuries and the rest are going to have incredibly fun memories of childhood.

Fascinating to me.

I wouldn't want a child of mine doing that without a helmet, and I'd prefer a bicycle, but if he's going to break a bone doing a jump over a little hump on the side of the road, haha, more power to you little fellow. Go break that bone. Learn the limits of your power. And I think I could do that in Grover Beach if I wanted.
>Maybe we shouldn't call it a direct punishment, but they're certainly coming out of the scenario worse off than their counterpart.

It's hard for me not to sound flippant when I say this, but -- this is life. As far as I'm concerned, anyone who has the means to pay off their student loans themselves practically won the lottery and they should be thankful they're not totally fucked like those who need the forgiveness.

There's an ugly, underlying impression I get from this discussion that is oddly reminiscent of the "welfare queen" stereotype.
> You can pay to pick up heavy things and put them back down, so we have people paying to be stevedores.

Very off-topic, but "stevedore" is an awesome word. Spanish is my first language, and wouldn't have guessed the word for "estibador" in English, it looks so weird. Had to lookup the etymology, and it's weird because sailors imported the word from Spanish or Portuguese. The original Latin verb is "stipare".

What you're describing is a logic bug.

JITs write instructions to memory in a manner that's only slightly different than writing bytes to a file. The generation of those instructions can either be correct or incorrect and happens regardless of programming language.

A JIT written in Python is equally capable of generating bad code as a JIT written in C or Rust or Lisp. A perfect port of a buggy JIT written in language A will generate the same buggy code even after being ported to language B.

The Gen4 is supposed to be out this month, although many people are having their Lenovo laptop orders delayed (by months, even). You can check out r/thinkpad for the scuttlebutt. I like the new 16:10 2560x1600 display, but I don't know if there's going to be a keyboard lottery like with late-gen Thinkpads (distinct quality differences between Liteon and Chicony parts) - my biggest disappointment with the new version is that the AMD versions are Ryzen 5000 not 6000. At <45W the Ryzen 6000s have a distinct performance and battery-life performance vs the equivalent Intel 12th gen parts (like 50-100% better battery life when testing similar laptops for light loads like basic web browsing).

I'm vaguely on the market, but willing to wait for a few months to see some real-world comparisons since I'm a full-time Linux user, and stuff like suspend behavior rarely gets proper coverage until a fellow dev starts using them - I've already taken a couple for the team the past couple years, so figure I'll sit back this round.
I can only speak from my experience.

In junior high, we had a very definite pecking order. Everyone knew who the bullied kids were, everyone knew who the worst off were. This includes the administration. The worst off was this kid who would get "swirlies" in toilets that had yet to be flushed. He ended up bringing a gun to school, shooting two of his bullies and then himself.

Among other things, I was knocked into a gym mat from behind, rolled up like a pig in a blanket, and jumped on. My body made crunchy noises. The nurse taped up my ribs. Nobody saw anything, kids letting off steam, whatever. Life goes on.

In high school, the very obviously out of the closet kid (this was before it was common) happened to take a lot of mysterious flights down the stairs when the sportos were around. The bullying largely stopped for me by then because I had given up on the proper procedures and, between the martial arts and other things, I made it clear that I was going to hurt anyone who hurt me, and I was going to keep on hurting them as long as possible. Other targets were present.

Punishment really only happened if the perpetrators were dumb enough to do it in front of enough people, and if they were the "J.D." types, whereas the more valuable members of sporting teams, well ... if there were consequences, they didn't seem to be impactful of their behavior or participation.

And so on and so forth. And of course girls have their own methods that are unique.
This is so cool! If new contributions to Ruby could be written in Rust, I'd be a lot more inclined to contribute. I don't think I'm alone here. Andy Kelley noted that the new Zig compiler has significantly more contributors, likely due to it being written in Zig and not C++.

Some people may roll their eyes at this, but it is a lot more enticing to work on a Rust codebase than a C/C++ one. I'm less likely to screw up and create a serious bug; I get a lot more help from the compiler; the build system is standardized and simple; and it's just plain fun.

Vaccines effectively prevent death and hospitalization. Their impact on other after-effects is more limited. That's especially true for the Chinese vaccines.

At this point, we're even starting to understand why. A lot of the after-effects seem to come from early in the progression of the disease, before the adaptive immune system activates. Loss of small, which is a proxy for a lot of neurological impacts, comes before the vaccines does anything (unless you have still have antibodies, which is just a few weeks after the vaccination).

A lot of people in the original Wuhan infection are still suffering after-effects. I think China is basing their policies on that, but that's speculation.
Brilliant. Is the code public?

>> A junior high family member gave me some insight on how a few boys in her class are bullied. It sounded stereotypical. Athletic / good looking alpha kid will pick on short, shy, not very talented kid. Not physically. But things like, "you can't sit at our table", or "be in our game", or "you are so stupid", etc. The normal, but less evil kids don't really do anything to help or anything to stand up to the alpha kid. Or don't include the bullied kid. A few girls will come to his defense to call out the alpha kid, but that doesn't really help, either. The kid has to go to school every day and basically be a loner. It is sad. And I am not sure what the solution is. The bullied kid is switching schools next year.

I always used big O for worst case (by default). I did think that was common.

There's a reason the federal government is as involved as it is. When I started college, lots of students dropped out because they didn't have the money. My first semester, maybe five students I interacted with dropped out within a few weeks. "Going back home to work. The loan didn't come through." That was back in the old days, when tuition was cheap, before states decided to end support for university education.

The better policy would have two parts:

- A maximum (like 7%) of your after-tax income can go to student loan repayment.
- Colleges have to partially repay loans they took for tuition if after five years the student isn't on track to pay the loan off. This would align the incentives of the college with those of the student. It would bring a fast end to students that borrow to pay $75,000 a year for worthless programs.

I'm really, really not happy about there not being a single OS I consider comparable, when it comes to getting work done. It's like the rest are all competing with each other and macOS is just off doing its own (better) thing, while they don't even try to compete with it. I'm tentatively hopeful that Google's new OS will be good enough to compete—after a couple decades of using desktop Linux full-time, then off-and-on, I think its GUI model (and by extension those of the BSDs) is just fundamentally not capable of producing something really good. Too fragmented for mostly-bad reasons, whole stack's too big and creaky and Wayland doesn't seem to be helping with that very much, having it not just separable from but very separate from the base OS causes lots of support-related trouble if you try to target it as a platform, and so on.

BeOS was nice. Windows could be nice but they decided to make it adware and spyware and completely ruin the settings screens for no good reason. Sigh.
