Great point and not a nitpick at all! I hope the next generation of languages is written on top Python, Ruby, C++ (ultra modern), Java, or DotNet/C#. I wish more languages would figure out if they can host in JVM/CLR, which would provide some crazy interactions!

After seeing so much great work done with JavaScript in the form of "transpilers", I think a lot can be done in that area. I feel Zig is a crazy good idea: A brand new language that produces binaries that are 100% compatible with C linkers. If all goes well, in a few years, why would anyone use C over Zig? It seems like the future.

Lots of people think C++ is bat sh-t crazy complex (me too, but I still like the mental gymnastics!). What if there were different C++ dialects supported by transpilers that intentionally restricted features? I think kernel and embedded programmers would the primary audience.

>... I know I'm early in my career but I feel tired and unmotivated at work. Work seems like a never-ending treadmill of tasks, many of which are more bureaucratic now and don't interest me. What should I do?

Indeed, time off or time out is a reasonable way to try restore your energy levels and shift your attention. I hope your boss is observant and rational to offer this to you.

Meanwhile, I'd try to review some of your past successful accomplishments, those that consumed your sweat and efforts. Often we underestimate our successes. It maybe a morale booster for you too.

Also, helping others may be another way to reset your perceptions. Given your experience, you may try to ask if you could mentor someone or onboarding. In a way, it's a step in the leadership direction.

Tech Experts Urge Washington to Resist Crypto Industry's Influence
>Here, to make way for more inflation-spurring policies, I imagine Yellen has to fall on the sword for the current state of inflation, even though she was the former Fed Chair, not the current one, and the current Fed Chair (Trump-appointed/Biden-Reappointed), whose independence Biden is supposedly respecting, Jerome Powell, is the one publicly branded with the "transitory" remark. I think that's Biden trying to give space to Powell to make it that much easier for his Fed to continue their 180-degree flip on whether to use their tools to fight inflation by cooling the economy. So far, Powell is publicly declaring that he's channeling the Carter-appointed Fed Chair Paul Volcker, who raised interest rates dramatically and beat back inflation in the early 80s. Biden is giving Powell room to Volckerize, and my bet is Biden hopes Powell will take his final form a month or two after the midterms, but not before. But all of this is just absurd theatre that's attempting to thread an unthreadable needle: the Fed helped to cause this bubble, and it needs to be reformed.

>If you've been following Powell's remarks over the last few months, he has moved from inflation is transitory TO it's time to increase the fed funds rate to hem in the economy through a "soft" landing TO it may not be a soft landing, but the landing will be "soft-ish." Why is Yellen the one to take the blame for that? She shouldn't. But what Biden needs Powell's Fed to do is continue to increase that rate by 50 basis point at each of the upcoming meetings, clear the Mortgage Backed Securities off its balance sheet, and then after the midterms amp the rate up ASAP by 75 basis points at a click or more, so that we can start that recession quickly then hopefully find our way toward something Biden can call a "recovery" by the time 2024 elections roll around. And the Fed isn't going to do that if there's overt pressure from the administration.

This is an excellent possible observation of a strategy we may be watching.

To add to your point, without some Volcker-level hikes we won't be able to escape this inflation. I'm a broken record about this (if you check my comment history haha), but the aging demographics of advanced economies (china is also an advanced economy!) guarantee that we will have less hands able to feed the hungry mouths out in the world. Prices are guaranteed to rise. Perhaps we'll have so many wealthy retired people chasing so few goods that we'll need hikes so large that they will have to crush asset values altogether to keep prices as they are today.

No matter what, similar to you, I don't see the fed's independence surviving the decade.
Yes, it works with structs of function pointers. And it works recursively.

This works (this is slightly shorthand C, fill in the blanks yourself):

struct config {
void (*foo)(things bar);
stuff (*bar)(int baz);
};
always_inline stuff doit(config c)
{
c.foo(whatever);
return c.bar(42);
}
always_inline void my_foo(...) { ... }
always_inline stuff my_bar(...) { ... }
stuff dostuff(void)
{
config c;
c.foo = my_foo;
c.bar = my_bar;
return doit(c);
}

This'll all get inlined and specialized to death.

I think a part of this is also the FDA has been really reluctant to touch testosterone producing substances - there was a company trying to get approval for a patented isomer of clomiphene and they took it through phase 3 and the fda indicated they wouldn’t approve it because they viewed the primary benefit of not being castrating as not compelling enough for a new treatment for low T. Their reasoning to my memory was mostly elderly men suffer from low T and they wanted to discourage what they viewed as a growing trend of lifestyle testosterone treatment. As a clomid user I bought the companies stock and followed it closely through the process and was terribly discouraged about the FDAs processes as a result (and my wallet too!). I’ve been trying to dig that stuff up but it appears the company died as a result and googles not finding the FDA communications. This was like almost 10 years ago.
I don't have enough data to come to sweeping generalization of a percentage.

Ex options trader here. You can sell me an option and we both make money:

Let's say the option expires worthless. You make money having done nothing but collect my premium.

I take the option, and because it's positive gamma, when it goes up I make money, and I flatten. When it goes down, I'm short, and I make money and buy. I keep doing this buying low and selling high until I've made more than the premium.

---EDIT

My point is there can be reasons for both sides to do the trade. Nobody needs to be "harmed". The line of reasoning that says one of you must lose misses the point. If you buy insurance, either your house burns down or it doesn't. That doesn't mean either you or the insurance company was harmed.
> The governments purpose isn't to make money. The military, police, IRS, USPS, all serve different purposes, some of them make money, some don't.

My point is that people are paying for these things today. If we are proposing moving them to being government-managed, then it seems like overall costs could increase, not decrease. Because our government gets its money from taxes, that means additional taxes need to be extracted to pay for the potential increased costs in providing these services.

>Prevention beats a cure - do you want healthy workers that are able to get preventative treatment and save money in the long run? Dental health is routinely neglected but a large indicator of economic status. Not only do healthy workers extract less from the healthcare system, they generate more in revenue.

I don't think this really answers the question though. Many (most?) full-time workers already have some form of healthcare. However the healthcare system is currently overloaded from a demand/supply scenario. So if we make healthcare more widely available we need to first fix the supply side and the associated costs, that does not happen quickly, IMO. So, rather than just talk about this in the the theoretical, I am curious about a summary for actually implementing it in a workable manner.

I don't agree because I think optimizing for money in the absence of alternatives is perfectly normal and a fairly good idea.

If someone has consistently chosen to favor cash over anything else, that's a different story, but if someone chose an industry or type of career with money as the deciding factor I don't think that is terribly important. People need and want money.

If I don't know what to do and have no guidance, how am I to decide? I'll look at difficulty, social benefits, moral impact and economic benefits. A 20 year old won't necessarily understand how to parse difficulty, social benefits or moral impact but will absolutely be able to understand basic economic benefits, so I think it's appropriate to use that as a method for choosing a career direction and I wouldn't object to hiring them.

Yes, people are to blame but I think history has shown us that the masses are easy to fall for these kinds of games over and over. It is the reason we have regulation and while yes, these people are to blame, I think the bigger fault is on the government for allowing it to happen. These instruments are scams in the guise of valid financial instruments.
