Having mental disabilities and being frequently punished for them is counterproductive.

A lot of ADHD symptoms are identical to lack of maturity or laziness. In my case, being punished for inability to pay attention after school, frequently forgetting things (1), or failing to think about the long term consequences of my actions in the moment was incredibly damaging.

It’s little different from punishing a kid who is missing a leg for “slacking off” in gym class.

America has a history of political tensions posing a danger to it. For a few years it maybe wasn't one country and quite a significant percentage of the population died sorting that out.
As a bystander not viewing this through SV lens, I do somewhat hope that the VC bubble bursts (although I 100% feel bad for low level employees that will suffer).

Looking at the market during 20-21 it seemed like it was acting in ways that, at least to me, feel like market manipulation/fraud/pyramid scheme (see SPACs).
Companies that barely even had a product were "valued" at billions - it just doesn't make sense.

Also, the author seems to lack any type of real self reflection about the VC industry or the current state of affairs.

Interesting. I didn't talk to Chase specifically, because even as one of their better customers, the rate they offered was at least 0.5% higher than every other place, so I didn't even bother.
The last time his "I want off" article was reposted[0], the comments were pretty rough, ranging from ad-hom attacks to (at best) misunderstandings of the arguments he was making.

I see this article being an address to these criticisms (which are not limited to this forum, I've seen similar arguments on twitter, etc.).

Pointing out shortcomings isn't really impolite or unfair. The author specifically mentioned shortcomings of Rust as well.

By the look of it, what this reply is saying is how point 7 describes the negating qualities of "but", while the point immediately following it uses the said word.

Good point. Wait, no I disagree and I think history probably does as well. If you'd like to engage in some unmitigated pedantry regarding this topic, check out https://acoup.blog/2020/01/17/collections-the-fremen-mirage-... which refers to this exact cycle.
This comment and the previous one in the thread feel very salient, especially in the view of assuming good or bad faith. We've all been children, it's the burden of our human condition, but it feels like assuming others had less-than-pure intent as children because that was how you viewed the world as a child, speaks very directly to the environments in which we're raised along with changes in social mores over time. I'm mostly interested in the dynamic where one person assumes that children act in bad faith, I assume because they think kids are 'trying to get away with it', while the other person points out that from a child's perspective, they are trying their best to model behavior of those around them.

I guess it seems like if you're raised around people who are always acting in bad faith on some level ("Everybody is doing it", "It won't hurt if nobody notices", etc) then you're going to assume that there is always some ulterior motive even without any further evidence.
I'm not a smoker, but right now I am suffering from the consequences of other people's choices. I pay higher taxes and higher health insurance premiums because smokers make bad choices. Whether you charge the company & they pass the cost on to consumers or charge the consumers directly with a tax, they should pay the financial cost of the decisions they make.
I'll admit, I don't have much experience being on the other end and actually dealing with misbehaving children (or teens, or adults for that matter), but I still have a strong bias towards peaceful dispute resolution rather than just forcing things on people and justifying it by saying I'm wiser and more powerful. (The governments of the world have been doing this an awful lot lately...)

I might illustrate with an example of something that happened yesterday. My mother and I were feeding some feral cats near our building when we were verbally assaulted by a neighbor, who strongly disapproved of
this practice (he literally said "not in my back yard!" But it's an apartment building so it's our backyard too.)

My mother's instinct was first to run, and second to get the police involved (he seemed to be a bit mentally unwell, so she feared him). My instinct was to talk to the man, despite his frightening appearance, and understand his perspective. What is it about the cats that bothers him? Maybe it's the fact that people haven't been cleaning up the food trays, so it looks messy. It could be any number of things. But my fundamental thinking is that if I talk to him I will understand him better, and be able to come to an understanding. Whereas my mother's perspective is "he is mentally ill and therefore not even worth engaging with."

I bring this up because most people's perspective on children seems to be "they are a child and therefore their perspective is irrelevant. I am going to force my perspective on them, and force them to do what I want, at least until they are a legal adult." I disagree with this, because it conditions people for their entire formative years to instill a sense of powerlessness and a sense of not mattering.

In most countries, such disrespect of children is actually required by law. From a young age I had no interest in continuing school, but I was forced to pretend to go along with it for another 5 years, or the police would be sent after my parents.

I have no particular affinity for Go or Rust. As an outsider this is not how I’ve ever perceived the Rust community, because the most present and visible parts of the Rust community were people showing up and complaining that Project X didn’t use their preferred silver bullet
Thankfully we have legal structures that allow individuals to run companies without being personally liable. Can't imagine running a company without it these days. Every CEO would get sued incessantly, and then instead of focusing on providing goods and services like food and medicine, they would be focused on frivolous lawsuits.

Should we hold government officials in contempt of society when they build roads that people die on?
Should we hold generals as murderers when a mission fails?
Changing from metric to imperial in the ingredients should be easy enough to implement, it will take a little more work to parse through the text and change units found there. This will get added to the backlog.

I agree that using fractions during scaling is a little unhelpful, but we have not gotten consistent user feedback. Some people prefer fractions, some prefer decimals. I think it may be a healthy compromise to use fractions for non-metric units and decimals for metric units.

The nutrition per serving should not be affected if you make more or less of a recipe. The assumption is that you will divide a larger batch into the same sizes the original recipe would be served at. For a recipe like pizza, I guess it would make sense to scale the servings proportionally to the size of the pizza. I will think about how to implement this in a simple way.

Thanks for the feedback!!

I recently saw that two people who joined a former employer of mine after I did have stayed with that company all this time and both now run the company (one is CEO, the other is CTO). I thought hmm that could have been me, if I hadn't jumped ship.

But I don't lose sleep over it. Everything is easy in hindsight and I've had other experiences, some wonderful and some not, since that I wouldn't have had if I had stayed.

Basically, my point is that these things happen. You can't predict the future, you do what you feel is best at the time with the information you have. Sure, sometimes you make choices that in hindsight turned out to be the wrong ones, but that's part of life. I don't have any advice on how to deal with it, though. I guess you need to learn to let go of things that are ultimately out of your control. Learn from the past, but don't antagonize over it. Perhaps seeking some therapy might help you come to terms with it.
To be fair, the IRS does this to all Americans who leave the country and renounce citizenship. For 10 years of your future income.
Yeah, and to simplify further, the atmosphere's got a fixed amount of methane-removing capability, and as we exceed this capability it can't absorb methane any faster, so the ratio of methane that gets absorbed starts dropping even though the amount being absorbed doesn't drop.

The reality is more complicated because the cut off is very blurry - absorbsion does still increase as methane increases, just not fast enough to keep up, and it falls further behind the more methane we put out.
Maybe? Sounds like an interesting research project.

From the outside the Rust community seems so defensive about Go that it makes me very reluctant to dive deeper into Rust.

> Flavored cigarettes were deemed to be too attractive to children

Which is precisely why menthol cigarettes should be banned. The idea that black kids don't count for this consideration is homicidal insanity.

"National survey data showed that significantly more adolescents and young adults than older persons smoked menthol cigarettes. In 2006, 43.8% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 40.6, 47.0) of current smokers aged 12 to 17 years reported that they used menthol cigarettes, as did 35.6% (95% CI = 34.0%, 37.2%) of current smokers aged 18 to 24 years. By contrast, 30.6% (95% CI = 28.6%, 32.6%) of smokers older than 35 years reported menthol use."

'Tobacco Industry Control of Menthol in Cigarettes and Targeting of Adolescents and Young Adults' https://ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/10.2105/AJPH.2007.1255...
Menthols are flavored cigarettes, that's the issue. All flavors were banned except menthol for some strange reason.
I feel like nobody watched the video (although I do wish the article text had been clearer).

The video specifically shows (at 1:34) that the machine operates at 15Wh/L (for the larger version, the smaller version is 20Wh/L).

This is 15Wh/33 oz (since we seem so set on using customary units), or 2200 oz per kWh.

Yeap, it's not a real animation of the ISS (at least its real speed is much slower than it shows in the app). Sorry for disappointment lol

> • Keep all your things visible in a hotel room, not in drawers, and all gathered into one spot. That way you’ll never leave anything behind. If you need to have something like a charger off to the side, place a couple of other large items next to it, because you are less likely to leave 3 items behind than just one.

Even better rule: never, ever, unplug a device from a charger in a hotel room without unplugging the charger from the wall at the same time. Put it back in your bag.

No other rule for chargers has ever worked for any frequent traveler I’ve known.

Edit:
Unplug the charger from the wall first, then the device from the charger.
I cannot use Linux or BSD, as - for instance - I am an almost 20-year daily user of Logic Pro.

I’d lose access to 20 or so years of musical projects, and I’d have to get used to some completely new DAW, none of which appeal to me.

I also do iOS and WatchOS development as my main source of income, meaning I’m completely stuck on MacOS. I make a lot of money doing it and it’s kept me solidly employed for a decade.

So - while I personally can’t jump over to any alternative OS without shooting myself in the foot - maybe I can suggest these to friends who possibly could, or are thinking about alternatives to MacOS. :)
Y’all are taking it way too literally.

I take it as hard times make it clear what’s important and inspire people to work towards that.

In good times people forget.

I find all the comparisons to previous technological changes lacking for one very simple reason. Previous technological changes never had granular data on individuals the way today's technological revolution does.

Since most such pieces are written by journalists, or written by people who think about these things but are also writers, they tend to focus on the idea distribution medium aspect of today's technology. So that would be the internet, or social media platforms, or chat platforms, etc. That's the most easily comparable part to past information technologies such as the printing press.

But the novel danger with what we're facing today is not the fact that everyone is on social media, or that stuff can go viral. Even though these are turbocharged versions of past technologies, they are still versions of past technologies (being turbocharged can still make it meaningfully different, but for now I'll ignore that). The novel danger is personalized data collection. It's the fact that major companies can built extremely accurate and granular profiles of every single person on their platforms.

This is completely unprecedented. Throw in even rudimentary AI, and I can target my message to match every individual's unique psychological profile. This was never possible in the past. The most you could do is target something based on a few broad aspect of someone's personality. Where they lived, what religion they followed, what language they spoke, etc. But there were thousands if not millions of people who filled that mold, and there were vast variations within those people, which still allowed for non conformity.

Today, however, you can target every individual and even the same individual differently depending on whether it's the morning, or evening, or if they are working or relaxing.

It's this that's truly novel and truly dangerous. You don't even need Social media to be involved for this to be a problem. The Chinese government, for example, famously has a highly intrusive citizenry score for its citizens based on a variety of such micro targeted factors. And pretty much every government across the world is also doing the same. Corporations have gone even further because they have all the data.
Granted! What do you do next?
I live in Ontario which doesn't have prop 13 and I think development is still far from straightforward or simple. We do see some condo development but I'm not sure how much not having a prop 13 like policy has to do with it. It's almost impossible to measure this given the difference between regions extends far beyond a single tax law.
The video claims that the machine operates at 15Wh/L (for the larger version, the smaller version is 20Wh/L).

This is 15Wh/33 oz, or 2200 oz per kWh.

That's roughly one order of magnitude greater than your estimate.
Not beating yourself up over past mistakes.
I (from US) can't speak to the actual laws. But with respect to "what's checked," I've been asked the purpose of my visit at immigration in countless countries around the world and I'm always completely open about attending conferences and meeting with customers and no one over decades has batted an eye. (Of course in the handful of countries I did explicitly need business visas--like China--I got one.)

Of course, there are a lot of unenforced laws on the books, but I'm a little skeptical that the millions and millions of people who travel cross-border on business trips every year are all mostly breaking immigration laws.

To be fair, my experiences are all on relatively short trips--a few weeks at most and usually less. Perhaps there would be more issues if I were staying 90 days and was open about workationing the whole time.
I'm sorry I don't understand what you're talking about at all. PREFIX support makes it even easier to support the usr merge. You don't need to patch it if it's already there.

>Rejecting the /usr split is worth it just for the purpose of not having to clean up after Lennarts ideas.

This makes zero sense, the main reason to do this is for compatibility with container tools and other things that benefit from having a simplified mount structure. It was not an idea that came from systemd and it also has nothing to do with "cleaning up after" anyone's ideas.
> Go's confusion between "type aliases" and "newtypes". The only way to make a newtype in go is to make a separate package with an opaque type and use interfaces for indirection, which is costly and awkward.

It's very unclear what this is supposed to mean. 'type Foo int' in Go creates a new 'Foo' type that can't be used as an int without casting (a̶l̶t̶h̶o̶u̶g̶h̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶c̶a̶n̶ ̶a̶s̶s̶i̶g̶n̶ ̶a̶n̶ ̶i̶n̶t̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶i̶t̶). If you don't want to allow that, you can just wrap it in a single member struct.

My impression is that optimism peaked in the '50s -- some time before I was alive -- and has been in decline ever since. That's not to say that there haven't been major achievements since then -- I wouldn't have a career without them -- but increasingly, we have seen experts throwing up their hands and saying "I don't know how this will ever be solved". The most optimism right now comes from people who think major societal problems will be solved by machines that can solve more problems than people. That of course does not contradict the idea that humans are having more and more trouble solving our problems, even as we continue to move forward in the near term.

We have never had a unified cultural perspective on this phenomenon -- it is either an artifact of regressive politics, a warning sign of the limits to growth, a reflection of deep failings in the basic structure of society, a punishment from Heaven for our disregard for tradition, or [choose as many as you like]. But as it continues to become more visible, the possible conclusions clash more and more. So while social media appears to create divisions in society, I don't think it's the only cause, and I don't think the only causes are things for which we can so easily allocate blame.
Alternatively, if you really can't stop comparing, pick a different reference point until you can stop comparing.

When I compare myself against my peers from when I was a child, I end up horribly depressed because I have no PhD, no company, etc.

On the other hand, if I compare myself to the average in other categories, I'm doing really well. The employment rate for those with MS is around 30%, and I'm a single gay woman from an abusive household (so no parental support) on top of that. From THAT perspective, the fact that I'm a breadwinner for a middle-class home means I'm doing REALLY well.

Yes, that is how I think about it. Billy Joel's generation didn't start the fire, but they also sure as hell didn't put it out. Don't get me wrong. Some people are carrying buckets of water towards the fire, but there are other people poking holes in the buckets, or shoving them so that they spill the water, or whatever other metaphor you would like to use here. And also some people standing around and telling the people carrying the water that it's not the correct way to put out fires.
The legal protection includes the assurance that the government will use force to prevent others from engaging in certain expression or activities, on your behalf, under threat of financial penalties or worse.
The incompetence could also be a result of the fact that a lot of shit is happening at the same time.

I suspect that the world after WW1, where they also faced many similar situations at the same time (pandemic, financial crash, etc), also looked pretty incompetent to everyone.
