> political extremism becoming the norm —> It definitely increased on both sides

Recent generations have seen multiple political assassinations and bombings. When was the last time you saw a fire hose and dogs used to clear protestors?

Tribalism is on the rise, extremism and violence are not.

Presumably the crashes are happening because the instruction set implemented by the JIT is on Pentium II level and so encountering modern X86 instructions makes it fail. I am not familiar with the linked project but there is no real reason why you could not emulate a 32bit Intel perfectly in WASM. For 64bit I'm not sure if wasm64 wouldn't be required.

This is exactly why obesity is a thing. We are all wired to some extent to eat whenever food is available. It's a survival thing. But food is plentiful and easily available at all times. That would be bad enough. What's worse is much of it is specifically designed to be addictive.

Sedentary people definitely don't need more than one meal a day to survive. It's trivially easy to satisfy daily calorific and nutritional requirements in a single sitting. There are still a lot of people who say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It is if you are going out to do 4 hours of manual labour in the morning before lunch. Not so much if you only cycle a few miles to work then sit down (and that's already more exercise than most do).

However, I do think there is a difference in how people react to fasting. In particular I think fasting is better for men than for women. I've been fasting regularly for more than 10 years at this point and it's great. But all women I've known to try it have had problems with it.
What about kids who didn’t have a yard where they could play? Those whose parents lost their jobs? Those that have been evicted because their parents could not pay ever increasing rents?

Besides, living in an economy that moves from recession to recession has an impact on the mental health of their parents, especially in economies with little or non-existent safety nets (see UK and US), and I’d be very surprised if that didn’t have repercussions on their kids’ mental health.

Of course two years of lockdowns, uncertainty and polarized screaming matches have nothing to do with it.
I have to say that while I disagree with your overall point - for example, I think the paralysis of the political system is derived from oligarchic economic control of the political process, rather than the distraction created by this culture war bullshit -, I think you made perfectly reasonable arguments, and should not be downvoted simply because they are unpalatable. In particular, the argument that abortion is popular and therefore should be legal does contradict several things that Democrats would like to keep illegal, despite being popular, as you illustrate with prayers in schools.

You probably forgot that we were talking about 2000s, not 2010s. Until 3rd term of Putin relationship of business and siloviki was usually transactional, but the economy was booming and the pie was big enough that some of the businesses were operating unnoticed. After events of 2012-2014 many things changed, but the climate was still tolerable - new companies were starting (e.g. Miro - it's great that they relocated early), there was visible progress in quality of life in big cities etc. 24.02.2022 changed everything.

Something I'm doing in my CV application is using 1 SQLite DB file per user.

When a user logs in, a check is done: "Does this user's DB file have the latest migration?" If not, the migrations are applied. That way, you only get a slight delay as a user when a migration is needed. None of the other users their DB files are affected. More technical details are in the FAQ: https://withoutdistractions.com/cv/faq

In terms of the article: I'm only changing 1 tire at a time at 100mph, not all of them.

Animals, including us, are extraordinarily good at conserving energy and dealing with long periods of famine. One meal a day is a non event metabolically, and makes sense for most of us that lead a sedentary life.

The idea that we need to eat 3 times a day is from a time most people were living an agricultural life, or doing heavy physical jobs. If you burn a lot of energy, you don't need to be told to eat more.

The idea that we need to eat 5 small meals a day to stay healthy, and never skip a meal! is first world bullshit.
The same threats still exist today. We've even had multiple cases of fearmongering. On a smaller scale. How some countries would test their weapons on others. North Korea not too long ago. Heck, European countries are revisiting their military budgets in light of Russia invading Ukraine.

What changed is people can tell the world has become too competitive on a financial, emotional and social level. That's quite different from the cold war where the land was rife with opportunities as long as you held hope things wouldn't blow up tomorrow.

Argonaut had several team members including Rick Clucas (CTO) who had hardware design experience as well as software. Rick's first hardware at Argonaut was a development cartridge for the SNES that allowed you to remote control it and download games from the pc development kit. This allowed us to be self sufficient and develop games earlier on SNES (and less expensively than others)

And Fuzzz (aka James Hakewill, now at Tesla AI) was designing silicon including The ARC.

its a pretty well known story as to how we got involved with Nintendo.

I went up to a senior Nintendo guy at a CES show and showed him some stuff that blew him away. I was on a flight to meet Mr Yamauchi in Japan a few days later.

We had Argonaut team members stationed inside Nintendo working directly for Mr Miyamoto, et al

our team back in UK did the tech stuff, and the team inside Nintendo built the games.

It was only the second time that Nintendo had worked with a company outside Japan (the first was Rare ltd)

"The things you are listing don't concern "teenagers" in their young teens, at all. They start being a problem for young adults, maybe"

That's just not true, though. I'm over 40: My first formal 'current events' portion of a social studies class happened when I was 12, IIRC. The first gulf war was the current topic.

Middle schoolers would be told now that they need to think about going to college, how doing well in high school is their only hope of a scholarship, and so on.

They know about political extremism: They just might not use those words. They might know someone that is queer and see the hate they get. Heck, they might be spewing the same hate as their parents.

They likely know about inflation even if they don't know what it is. Poverty - or even a tight budget - affects you as a child especially in the pre-teen and younger teen years. Parents stress over money, after all, and some of their peers might have struggled with homelessness, depending on where you live.

At 15, I had started to care about politics. I mean, I knew they were a thing since elementary (and the mock elections they held), but I saw how it affected me.

And of course they know about the fun things.

You probably didn't successfully forbit FB and Instagram if their friends don't use it: This is more common with younger folks than their parents. Plus, if they are out playing in the yard (Which I quit doing during middle school and there was no internet) they might be too young to care right now.
I was 12 when I started using Twitter (shh, don’t tell them https://venturebeat.com/2018/05/29/twitter-is-locking-out-th...)

I was 14 when I had to loan my parents some money, and was acutely aware that I would not be able to afford college.

I read the news every day and was smart enough to realize that things were not going so great (according to the news).

To say that kids are blissfully unaware of the world they are born into is just wrong. Social media makes it even more apparent.

This awareness helped me make the right decisions for myself (deciding to not go to college, for example), but I am fortunately mostly optimistic. The weight of the world crushed some of my peers.
recessions - see parents with less disposable income so teenages get less things
global pandemic - saw a couple of years of curfew at a time when teenages thrive outside and conditioned them towards a more online life and exposed and engaging more with the news of the day
rising inflation - again multiple impacts, less pocketmoney is depressing at any age
housing - quality of home, shareing bed space with siblings are never helpful for anybody
education getting more expensive by the day - fear of the future as teens, exams and beyond start to become more and more in focus and the prospects of life are also taking hold, can be a bummer, more so with the cultural changes of 2 years pandemic.

But many factors and to pin them upon a singular aspect is hard, also geographic and more so financial backgrounds play a factor that needs to be eliminated to see a more common root cause.

But hey, social media since Elon brought twitter a seen a resurgance in news about it, so more and more social media focus aspects will pop up and been a lot of ongoing debate and concerns on rollover for a while now as is.

As an anicdote how things have changed, a friend in his mid 40's was at some event and found some marbels so was playing a game with another friend for nostagia and some teens came up asking why you throwing stones about - as they had never seen marbles, let alone played it. Yet for decades and decades prior, everybody would instantly recognise marbles. Times change, not saying people who grow up playing marbles less prone to mental health. You find everybody has some aspect and there own coping ways.

Perhaps it may well be a case that we are looking into things like mental health more in a more detailed way and then looking at patterns of our times. After all, earthquakes have increased but equally the sensors in play to measure them have also increased so you have to balance out the more you see and compare to seeing less with less in the past very varefully as easy to see patterns that may not be there and come to conclusions.

After all, TikTok has been around less than any teenager era, let alone generatioins to get a clear picture.

But then, isn't social media for many mental health issues across generations, with it's echo chamber avenues and bombardment of all you care or dislike, it can be a dangerous rabbit hole for an angry or angst mind of any age.

But your approach to block it, safest and smartest way, like keys to the house - you need to have trust built before you let them loose and until then, block. Worse case they will educate themselves in how to get around the block.
> There's a lesson there too about how solving problems is often easier once you know it can be solved.

Or perhaps when you don't know it can't (yet) be solved.

Except from the very privileged, I'm pretty sure they are at least exposed to adults discussing those subjects, or at least from medias. If the volume of concerning subject is large, they will internalize it and build up some anxiety, and that will impact mental health.

"Yes, a toy: inadequate for professional work. You can cut grass with scissors, but nobody who understands the task will hire you to do it."

Can you explain what you mean here? In the context of structured programming.

"CPUs do not, in fact, see procedures. They execute machine instructions. Your "procedures", exactly, 'encapsulate complexity behind a language feature'."

That's right, CPUs execute instructions. Those instructions are executed one after another, with jumps when a certain operation should be repeated or skipped. This is the definition of structured programming. Structured programming is a simple abstraction over how CPUs execute machine instructions.

I don't see any objects with methods there. Nor do I understand how would a CPU understand a lambda function or care if something is immutable or not.

No insult there. It is just a sad reality how many developers rely on Stack overflow instead of using their own head a little.

It's the base for a lot of North Sea Oil and Gas companies, due to its location, which probably gives it some claim to the title, as any other contender closer to the center of europe would probably need to share access with other localities, while being on the extreme end concentrates things (while also making it kind of irrelevant if you're not involved in north sea oil or gas).

Sorry, but that's not what Loom is about at all. It's mostly about the jvm internals; that's the main chunk of work. The API level stuff is just designed to be consistent with the existing Thread API, with all it's technical debt, flaws, boiler plate, etc. that has inspired alternative frameworks and approaches to be written. It's consistent with that is the best you can say about it. To me it looks like it's a nod to other frameworks to make it as easy as possible for those to integrate this stuff. Good approach, very valid. It's not designed to be more usable / less boiler plate heavy. That's what other frameworks are for. Loom is not a replacement for these frameworks but something that is designed to seamlessly be integrated by them.

There's only 1 co-routine related keyword in Kotlin: 'suspend'. The rest of co-routines ships in the form of a normal kotlin multiplatform library that you just add to your project. Java has several keywords that you don't need in Kotlin (e.g. synchronized, volatile). You can mark things as synchronized with a simple kotlin function. And likewise there's a Volatile annotation. Mostly that's just useful for kotlin code that needs to be used from Java.

The function coloring bit seems to obsess a lot of people. I just don't see the issue with it. For me the boiler plate that Java makes you use instead is a much bigger issue.

There are solutions that have been tried and found to work very well. The American shape note system made 3 and 4 part harmony singing something the whole congregation could take part in, rather than just an elite choir. Lars Roverud's digit notation system (and the system to teach it) did a similar thing for singing in Scandinavia. They fell out of favour not because they didn't work, but because professional musicians and teachers saw it as a crutch instead of a system in its own right, and kept pushing for graduating to "real" notation.

Lightning rods are called lightning rods but they are not actually designed to take a strike head on.

They are actually designed to remove charge from the clouds above where the rod is installed.

Anyway a lightning rod is probably the best protection but yeah the copper would vapourise if it.was actually hit, causing a fire.

I think you need to just keep at it (interviewing), I know how difficult and demoralizing it can be.
I had maybe 20 interviews lately and got 2 offers, so that's not a fun process. I have to freaking fail 9 times to get an offer.
It's also obvious the more famous the company is the harder it is to get in, which is not surprising, but I really felt it this time. Also there's a huge gap in my abilities between coding oriented interviews and algorithm oriented interviews - I do much better in the former (surprise surprise, I am a programmer after all not an algorithm researcher(; some decent companies sometimes choose to go with the former but its rare (the better the company usually the more predisposed they are to have FAANG-like tests).
So my take is its a matter of trying. Eventually with perservence you will get into the right (for you) interview and get an offer.

Good luck man.
