You're being downvoted but even as a progressive liberal I do think that pushing political correctness too hard and too fast has resulted in this conservative backlash we're now seeing across our country. Change needs to be iterative and sensible. I was amazed at how quickly public sentiment opened up to gay marriage and legal marijuana for example, but now equally dismayed by how quickly the conservative backlash is happening across the country. The social version of agile rather than waterfall development I suppose…

The article says, "Adulthood means taking on more responsibilities, and in turn, receiving more privileges" and this begs the question in regard to, from whom?

The notion of "adult," has an intrinsic inferiority in the sense it's from the perspective of what children and dependents believe about men and woman relative to themselves. It's an important distinction, because if you see adults as others and can't admit to yourself that you are a man or a woman, it's likely because on some level you still identify as a dependent - if not in a specific relationship, then to society at large. (Arguably, some even moralize it where to be an adult is to submit to being a dependent of society.) Acting as an adult is something one does for the reflected approval of others, and it is relative to the perspective and aspirations of children. Discomfort from talking about men and women directly is indicative of how disconnected we are from our true and natural identities. (If you believe nothing is true or natural and take Derrida's view that everything is an artifact of language, I'd ask if you've thought about what made choosing that belief so appealing.)

Adulthood itself is a concept that is the actualization of personhood - an abstraction that includes corporations, higher primates, zygotes, and imminently some lines code. Imo, adulthood is unappealing because it has become poor substitute for concepts of manhood and womanhood. By including these non-human entities, personhood itself is a diminished and low bar.

The common insult I see in public discourse is that a man is a baby or a child, and the person wielding it truly believes these words are powerful. The insult is lobbed as though the implicitly maternal lens of criticism and shaming someone as a baby has meaning to actualized men and women. Actualized men and women by definition have developed an internal locus of control, and a level of self acceptance and awareness where criticism from a rando saying they are being a bad dependent doesn't even register. When you pull it apart, what adulthood means to most people is the ability to internalize supervision and the values of a broadly social supervisor. What's worse is that this kind of transactional adulthood yields some truly psychotic moral licensing in the form of, "I've taken all the humiliations and done what was expected of me, and now it's my turn." And you can still be a good person when you act on this belief, because compared to a corporation or a primate, you're still doing pretty well.

In this sense, "we" don't need to do anything about adulthood. "You" and "I" need to take responsibility for ourselves first, and then for children and other dependents, then by becoming good men and women we become our brother's and sister's keepers. This is all to say, the framing of adulthood is part of the problem. When someone occasionally admonishes me to be "an adult," I typically respond, "thanks, I'm a man," and the people who get it, get it, and the ones who don't, I just don't remember.

> You can store code for different purposes in the same source tree. You can deploy something that is built from just one part of the source tree.

At the risk of sounding memetic, the question is not so much "Can you?" but "Should you?". Should you store a monolithic application across multiple repositories? Should you store a distributed application in a monolithic repository?

I agree with @likortera that you should not. And that's because...

> The way you store your source code doesn't have much to do with how your system is deployed.

I disagree with this statement.

Your architecture (monolithic vs distributed) imposes certain assumptions on other aspects of your distribution pipeline.
Your workflow (in this discussion "how you store your source code") should support these assumptions, not hinder them.

For example, one benefit of microservices is that cross-functional teams can develop independently of each other. And yet one cited advantage of monorepos is that everyone is on the same version of dependencies all the time. In short, your teams are not independent after all.

Note that I'm keeping the example extremely generic to illustrate this inconsistency, a conflict of interest if you will, that I see people commit in this topic, because in my experience, these questions are not purely technical but involves product/business factors as well. Maybe for most of the people (operative emphasis on "MAYBE", because who am I to judge you), the discussion they need to have first is whether or not they are using the right architecture for their product in the first place.

If you choose to have a microservices architecture, you have to live with the fact that your teams/services will operate at different cadences. If you feel the need to impose a One True Library Version All the Time, then go for a monolithic architecture, and store your code in the same way.
Tech companies pay for few things more than for developer time. In a small company, spending one day to speed up a 30 minute build of a codebase used by 10 developers by 1 minute is not going to unlock much developer time, but imagine you multiply it by a thousand or ten thousand developers. Suddenly you save 10 thousand minutes per build, or 166 hours. Imagine the average dev runs a build three times per day, your 1 minute saving is now saving 498 hours of developer time per day, or 62 8 hour work work days per day (and there is the saying that in FANG it's way less than 8 hour work days). These are continuous cost savings, so the value your 1 day investment created is equivalent to 62 fully paid developers. Isn't that amazing?

I think tech companies should spend a lot more on speeding up their stack. I would love to do something like this (improving developer workflows in a giant organization) as my day job.

Honestly, I haven't seen much use for crypto. There are very few use cases where cryptocurrency actually gives a distinct advantage.

The one exception is Helium. I'm still exploring the economics of it, but on the surface it truly adds something unique.

You can link IOT devices to a wallet and authorize them to pay to send wireless messages through gateways that are set up by miners. The incentives seem to be aligned. Gateways are rewarded based on their coverage right now, transitioning to sent messages in the future. Users who want to deploy devices buy data credits that allow them to send messages.

Gateways convert data credits used into helium, and helium is burned to create data credits.

It allows IOT devices to operate with much lower cost than cellular data plans, for a similar experience.

It's a beautiful system and I can't believe I didn't find out about it sooner. I've been so jaded by other projects that I might not have given it a chance if I hadn't heard about it from a friend.

Every crypto project is garbage in my mind until proven otherwise.
I think a lot of people know these things can help, but brush them off as serious options. Like they see them as homeopathic cures or folk wisdom vs. antidepressants being the real deal medical option. Add that changing habits is difficult, and people tend to dismiss the non-pharmaceutical options before giving them an honest try. It's hard to put the effort in if you're skeptical it's even going to help at all.

Learning about the science behind it might change this perspective. For example, staying up until 3am looking at your phone or computer screen will mess with your hormone levels as much as if you took steroids. If you're doing this regularly and suffering from depression, there's a much simpler and more scientifically proven treatment available to you than an SSRI. While it does require more effort to change habits than taking a pill does, it's also more likely to make you feel better.
What's heat based SAD?

I always feel like garbage during the summer, but always chalked it up to allergies, some kind of low level chronic dehydration, or poor schedule discipline (used to be, when classes ended, my bedtime became about 3 am almost immediately. I'm older and that doesn't [can't] happen anymore, but since the sun sets very late now, I still get a minor version of it).

There are a lot of external factors that I thought might contribute also. For one thing, every weekend of the summer is pretty much booked up, which becomes exhausting. Back in college, I also remember feeling kind of bluesy in the summer. I guess I didn't have the <whatever> to activate my brain by myself, so I looked forward to fall/learning time again.

I'm rambling, but interested to hear a little more about what you mentioned.

YAGNI is always a valid strategy but what you are and are not going to need will change with scale. An inconsequential case can turn out to be something that impacts several teams.

At scale, rabbit holes can be quite relevant. At scale, you can no longer trust that your personal view of the org is complete enough.

There's still plenty of waste but just because you don't need something doesn't mean it isn't in another team's hot loop. Best to come in with trust first and incredulity second.

Sure but why would anyone want Jed’s PoS token in the first place? They just printed it and gave it away to people on Facebook when launched.

This is something else. Here, not the patent itself is challenged, but the work of the patent officer is made easier because prior art is supplied.

What I propose is that anyone can submit solutions to the original problem stated in the patent, without yet knowing the solution proposed in the patent. This allows us to demonstrate that the solution is trivial to those who are skilled in the art.
I worked at Uber. The main arguments that I kept hearing were:

- easier to share and import common packages

- proto and thrift files are kept close to services and clients are updated globally automatically

- dependencies and go versions are managed globally and all services get the same security updates

- standardized build processes make it easier to manage large deployments

And honestly, after the initial repo download there were no visible downsides
I’m intrigued by the statement that the west coast was reached first, and then the population spread from there.

This is a really interesting take.

Although more capital, in theory, can just easily be made - if the incentives are not in place - it appears to have the same problems as getting past the agricultural stage.

So it seems like a parallel to me why advanced economies might stagnate.

As I understand the WaPo piece, it's talking about the events of Wednesday night, not some "grand context": Police found dozens of .22-caliber bullets scattered across the Capitol grounds. The occupiers drew chalk outlines of fake dead bodies etched with Walker’s name on the floor, and carried signs that read “Death to tyrants,” “The only good Republican is a dead Republican” and one with picture of him in crosshairs with the words, “Don’t retreat, Reload.”

> There were no assassination attempts on Scott Walker

Nor were there any assassination attempts on January 6th.

> the lawmakers were evacuated from the building while the Capitol police were trying to hold back the crowd.

It took me a moment to realize you were talking about Washington, because the same thing happened in Madison: The senators hid under a stairwell, out of view, while the police ordered a city bus to pull up in front of the building. Officers then formed a human wall on the sidewalk, parting the sea of protesters and creating a pathway for the senators to reach the bus. Once the senators were on board, “the mob on the street began punching the windows and shaking the vehicle. … The police told the senators and staff inside to keep their heads down in case a window shattered.”

That, by the way, is what I was talking about when I wrote "forcing lawmakers to flee".

Honestly, it's like the WaPo article and the madison.com article are describing different events, except they aren't, just two perspectives on the same event.
This is all thinking in hindsight, so maybe it's backwards rationalisation, but when I started meditating it felt like it helped me improve my focus at work, but around the same time I've become more emotionally disregulated. So, maybe there is something to what you're saying.

For me, it's not smartphone addiction but video addiction which can consume hours of my time, just watching on sites like Twitch.

I was inspired by the recent Hacker News thread that talked about decreased attention span https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31874846 (My awakening moment about how smartphones fragment our attention span)

My hypothesis is using phone for reading books is much better since it can be done in chunks at a time and is less addictive than watching video so I'm using my smartphone for long-form book reading.

When in college taking 'Women in History' there were (for obvious reasons) all women, save me and two other men.

Professor asked 'Who thinks men and women should have equal rights?' Everyone raised their hands.

'Who is willing to be drafted to protect those rights?' All 3 men, a handful of women raised their hands.

The women in general didn't seem to think it was 'fair'.

Professor continued- 'What about abortion rights? Should they be equal? Parental rights?'

That set the room off. Made all of us uncomfortable, which was her point.

There are double standards all aground, and we clearly as a society haven't figured these things out.

And to be fair, it's a very difficult position for me- as a man, wanting equality for women but also being raised to be a 'gentleman', put women and children first.

I think we should celebrate our differences, and try to iron out the rest.

> In fact the higher the total subsidy the more we save.

What.

If someone offers a way to spend a hundred thousand dollars per ton of CO2 saved, you should not give them a single penny. It does not increase social good to fund such a program.

Unless that sentence was just about the efficient types of recycling. In which case yes, fully fund those programs.

> which he dubiously claims is the original, false reason given to recycle

The argument the article makes is "90s environmentalism said we'd run out of landfill space and trash would pile up everywhere. This was wrong."

Not that it was the only reason to recycle, but that it was a massive part of the messaging, and completely wrong.

You're so laser-focused on that single sentence that you're making a strawman out of the article. The section is not geared at the overall practice of recycling. One single sentence is going too far by being too glib.

I think it's the opposite. We don't need more "coddling" or protection from decision making. We don't need less adulthood... what we would benefit from IMO is keeping more of the positives of youth into adulthood.

Not in Germany. The legal system here knows only about nationality, and that’s either German or foreign. And saying “Deutsch” / “German” has a prevalent meaning of a German National, eg a holder of German citizenship.

And people of German origin in Kazakhstan or other post Soviet states are referred as Russlandsdeutsche, or German Russians, not Germans.
