I'll give my devils advocate statement. As a background, I was not diagnosed until I was in my early 30s. That was after years of bouncing from doctor to doctor, every one before that giving a different diagnosis with a treatment that didn't work. None of the previous doctors even touched on ASD/ADHD.

> And if they are found to not have those characteristics, well, what does that mean for them? Does it mean their issues aren't real? Of course not.

No, but I think the fear for some, is the question of "Well WTF happens then?" Diagnosis and treatment of comorbidities (ADHD + social anxiety) let me go from being in a dead end hourly job to a person who has a moderately successful career, has been able to make impactful contributions to open source, and be able to mostly function as an adult.

I'm not against research, but if there is a different thing going on with some people I don't want to see them forgotten.
> How does one even learn how to make something this amazing?

I haven't done anything quite this amazing, but I have created other things with minimal upfront knowledge and "the way" is simple: just jump in and give it your best shot with what you already know, identify the most glaring deficiency in what you made, take your best shot at solving that, and repeat that process until you have something cool. You can also use this process to focus what you spend time studying/learning, as you backfill the information you were missing to figure out how to overcome whatever obstacles you encounter.

It does take time, but you know what they say about long journeys and single steps. Sometimes there are no shortcuts and you just have to take a lot of steps.
The rules specify that the EBUG needs to be available for playoff games, though it does also say that if both goalies are injured any member of the player roster can dress as a goalie. And in the playoffs the roster limit becomes 50, so it's unlikely to come up unless all the other goalies under contract are also deep in the playoffs.

Waiting in the locker room is key though, you can only break the 20 players dressed rule if both goalies are injured.

The awful performance you can be stuck with when you can only use emulators and v8 is going to come back to haunt some of you, I believe. It is indeed easy to sell something like this, as it looks easy to work with, the same way that no-code looks easy. But inevitably even native performance is not nearly enough and you need to employ algorithms that use 256- and 512-bit vector operations. At that point, we are talking about running natively on the CPU, and for that you need something that isn't just a web app.

I remember I recently saw a lecture by an industry professional who took a Python algorithm and improved it 100 000x, in parts. That is, in stages he explained how to utilize the hardware on that particular machine, to improve the algorithm so much that it was hard to believe. Anyone have a link? I looked and I could not find it. It was a recent thing that I believe I saw on this site.

When it comes to configuring web services: It is extremely important to configure them in such a way that you can fully or partially cache content, reducing costs. I get it, if you are a startup you need to move fast, but with the way things are going these days, you should have someone on your team who can at the very least deal with the basics of caching.

You also cannot pre-initialize v8 as far as I know, so you inevitably end up putting it inside an emulator anyway, and guess what happens to the performance then? I could be wrong.
It's not the only source of the problem, but social media is certainly a big one.

Back in the day you didn't get rape threats from 50 anonymous accounts, or see pictures of you photoshopped sucking dicks, or feel like even more of a loser because you see in 4K detail how everybody else in class is having more fun outside of school. The internet is a threat and embarrassment and envy machine. You feel like you're constantly losing a battle to be relevant and have a good time, and you pathologically monitor feeds of other people's lives to try to stay ahead. When that doesn't work you lose yourself in mindless entertainment to avoid mental stress, also avoiding processing hard emotions.

That's not all new, but it's at a level higher than ever before.
Gas stations are almost never owned and operated by a major oil company. It is quite famously a business that immigrants get into due to its low barriers to entry, and they set the prices at the pump of their gas station.

Location is the most important factor in how much more a gas station owner can charge relative to other gas station owners. If you want to see how much gas costs at near zero margin, open up the Costco app and you can see all the fuel prices nationwide. Although Costco only sells Top Tier gas, but that should be comparable to other brand name gas stations such as Shell and BP and Exxon.

You don't need to dream about it. You can absolutely do this today with OpenZiti. You just need to be able to set it up which is - imo (I am a dev on the project and wrote the quickstarts) just as easy to get up and running as anything. I do it in "under a minute" but I work on the project so my timing is not fair... :)

You can find information about it over at https://openziti.github.io/ you don't even need to trust the software itself. You can add a 3rd party certificate to the server and mint your own private keys/certs and deliver them to your friends and have 100% control over where and how and whom you trust. You control access down to individual services, not CIDR blocks, not IP addresses. You can embed the sdks into any of your own apps if you're into that sort of thing. :) you could setup a relay server in some cloud provider for the 'untrusted' traffic (hmmmm you make me wonder if we could integrate with tor somehow now too...)

Seems like it'd do most/much of the things you want it to. I'd be happy to help you out. We have a discourse you can post questions to.

Youth culture is still very much alive. It is primarily online or in school, and kept into circles largely out of sight of adults. You wouldn't come across them unless you happened to pass by, actively seek it out or cultures cross over.

The above is further amplified by communication between children and adult strangers being seen as a big no-no.

This is a great post demonstrating the wide variety of things you can do with postgres foreign data wrappers.

But I've worked on analytics systems built on this and it should just be clear that when you use this kind of system you're accepting ease of operation/ease of integration for actual interactive-level performance.

At some point if you want interactive-level performance on this historic data (which is very much possible) you'll have to start putting this data in clickhouse or elasticsearch and some system on top of postgres with a better sharing scheme.

If you wanted better performance without giving up the postgres frontend it would (to me) make more sense for folks to invest in building FDWs for elastic or clickhouse rather than over parquet or csv. But that's just a theory.
When I was a kid growing up in the 1960s and 1970 it was in the shadow of The Bomb and we all expected to be dead within a few years. That affects your thinking.

Our parents' and grandparents' generations were the people that wrecked the world with their European/Asian/Pacific wars and their plastics and their nucleotides and their freeways and their pesticides and their phosphates and acid rain and their racism and sexism and chauvinism. Rounding up their own children to send them to almost certain death in a foreign land to score brownie points at the country club. Still, we had hope for the future: we could put white men on the moon, we could eradicate many of the more common transmissible causes of death, we could feed the world at least in theory. Then came the Boomers who would change everything with their peace, love, and free thinking. That was reflected in the (non-commercial) music and writing of the time. Then they discovered money and how it could benefit them personally.

Now I listen to the music and every other song seems to be about the medication they've been given is not enough, or how angry they are about what they've been given. The books seems to all be dystopian. The zeitgeist has gone from "Eat drink and be merry for tomorrow we may die" to "Starve yourself we're going to die."

Hey folks, the future is what you make it. Don't expect anything to handed to you.

Not a bad list but also nothing different than what the cloud companies tell their customers directly to do.

The underlying “problem” here is usually when people/companies act as if the cloud just relieves them of all responsibility to manage their infrastructure, including controlling what gets built, by whom, charging what. AWS speaks of their “shared responsibility model” that summarizes what this should look like.

That's more of an approximation matching how, frankly, most people think of the specs: yes USB 2.0 supersedes 1.1 entirely, but everyone will think of "full speed" and "low speed" as USB 1 which are BC supported by USB 2.0.

That's also why USB 3.1 and 3.2's rebranding of previous versions is so confusing and a pain in the ass to keep straight: USB 3.2 1x1 is USB 3.1 Gen 1 is USB 3.0 (ignoring the USB 2.0 BC).
Both were groundbreaking and revolutionary. They were very ambitious projects due to the technology limitations of the time, and crossed well into the "labour of love" realm, in the same vein as Pinnochio (for example the animated bubbles in the crashing waves).
>One would expect providers of an identical product to push their prices down to the minimum profitable level to compete with others doing the same.

That is not a definition of "normal competition", unless production capacity is free and infinite and barriers to entry and exit are zero.

Transportation fuels have almost zero short-run price elasticity; so of course supply shocks cause swings in prices.
I don't think that would blow over any better for the international community. You'd basically be targeting college students and high schoolers.

For many years I have had a private blog. I like to write but realised 99% of us are not interesting to read. This is a young guy processing his thoughts. Not "teaching" the rest of us as he frames it. This should have stayed in-house and personal. The company can then decide which clients, authorities to contact if necessary. There is a book in all of us as they say. For most of us it should stay there.

This isn't the same problem at all. The weapons we have trouble supplying are huge (howitzer with smart rounds, &c.) and require good roads and rails

You could drop hundreds of autonomous drone by air, make them land somewhere and wait in standby until they get activated or detect a threat.

They scale massively because 1 guy with 100 rifles won't do much more than 1 guy with 1 rifle, 1 guy with 100 trucks won't move faster than 1 guy with 1 truck. 0 guy with 100 drones would potentially kill 100 guys simultaneously for cheap since switchblade style drones are glorified DJIs with a grenade straped at the front
Agreed. It was a great lesson and if anything affected my development in a positive way.
It’s quite simple. Doing the right thing has short term costs and long term benefits.

No; the simplest explanation is that increasing demand for a product with limited supply increases in price. That's literally Econ 101 - no cartel required.

IRC has been around for decades as have bulletin boards. IRC is real-time versus slower bulletin boards but are graphical. What is it with social media that is so different?

I've used per-Internet BBS, IRC, bulletin boards and I feel the difference in social media. The closest I can come is chat rooms in games where there is a mix of anonymity, comradeship, contempt, bullying but all by people there to game. Social media mixes people who normally would not associate all in the same space. Whether it's young and old or left vs right, religious or not.
There are a lot of decisive action ideas to combat climate change (and a host of other issues). Right now out of the top of my head:

- impose a maximum limit on size, weight and fuel consumption of cars, ban SUVs and pickup trucks (and no, a tax won't work because the rich will simply buy their "freedom"). Exceptions only upon proof of need (e.g. commercial or farming usage).

- ban all inner-country flights of less than 2 hours duration (this one is not that applicable to the US but more towards Europe)

- improve passenger high speed rail networks in accessibility, affordability and speed

- improve (or, in some places, create) usable public transport systems to reduce the need for cars

- entirely ban naval cruise ships unless fueled by renewable fuel

- construct immense amounts of solar and wind electricity generation, invest into storage mechanisms and power-to-gas

- impose bans or limitations on concrete for construction (8% of global CO2 emissions result out of the manufacturing of concrete!)

- ban "fast fashion", impose durability requirements on clothing

- force all manufacturers to provide spare parts, 3D designs and tooling needed for repairs, no matter what kind of thing

- impose per-capita meat consumption quotas. Yes, this is communism-style, but we cannot sustainably continue with mass animal farming at the scale we are at.

But even if we're arguing physics, that's debatable. The shape and toughness of the rock are actually an effect of forces between the atoms composing the rock, and the weight of the rock is actually the interaction between the mass of the rock and the earth. The color of the rock is the effect of the interaction between the molecules in the rock and photons (which are themselves wave-like) and then the interaction between that light and the cells in your eyes.

Objects are a convenient day-to-day model in real life and software, but there are more "functional" models that comprise the object model.

We can all poke at this person for doing things incorrectly, but one has to wonder what mindset could lead to any programmer ever thinking that:

1) parsing a web page shouldn't be considered incredibly fraught with problems
2) that reloading web pages should be part of (1)
3) that this should ever possibly be run without validating the list of files that would be deleted

So forget the specifics. Where are people learning these things, and what do we do to teach them better things?

And in school kids "using their phones" for work in class, but really, just using their phones. So I can't even lock it down during class time. Sigh.

> and unlike a car which will rapidly depreciate in a very short amount of time

If you think a car rapidly depreciates, try reselling your degree. You might be in for a shock.

Winner: The car.

> getting a decent college degree will pay dividends throughout your life in increased earnings power.

The data says otherwise. Wages have held stagnant through the rise of post-secondary schooling. You can't both have increased earning power and stagnant earning power.

The earning power of not being limited to a physically close job that a car affords did show some upward wage movement, however. There was clear wage growth seen during the rise of the automobile.

Winner: The car.

> According to govt estimates, the average lifetime earnings difference between someone with just a high-school diploma, and someone with a college degree is - on average $550,000.

Ouch. The opportunity cost of a four year degree is, on average, more than a million dollars. That's a nasty haircut.

And that's ignoring that your methodology is flawed. We know that different people are different. Of course the person with down syndrome, who just scraped by in high school and struggles in the workplace for the same reason, is going to have lower earning potential than the person who breezed through their studies at Stanford. These people are not comparable.

Which is why you actually want to compare people over time. Using a time vector maintains the spectrum of people from high functioning to low functioning. Over time, as more and more have attained degrees, incomes have held stagnant. There has actually been no economic benefit gained.

I was driving near the border of Northern New Mexico and Texas recently on a state highway. I kept noticing groundhogs everywhere. Almost all the land is farmland out there. So I imagine it is plowed every year or so. The only strip of land is undisturbed is the right of way between the edge of the road & the fence. So groundhog colonies are basically all along the side of the road.

Ukraine has raised the question of what the right tradeoff is between numbers of fighters at $100m each vs small drone munitions such as the Switchblade 300 (~$5000, but single use). There has been remarkably little use of air power in that war compared to anti-tank weapons, artillery, and drones.
