I'm a little confused by this statement. Of course people want to obtain value very quickly; we live in a society where people are explicitly told their economic success and therefore basic survival is a zero-sum game in competition with other human beings (we are not told this is untrue unless we explicitly go out and discover this), where the opportunity to do basic things like be housed and have a family is dependent on economic achievement in a rapidly more unequal society.

Of course people are trying to obtain value as swiftly as possible. Every moment they aren't doing so means they are now trying to gain value in a situation where there is less value possible to gain. Additionally, our society glorifies "hustle culture" and "gig economy", so yeah, if we raise our children like this they will follow the values we teach them.
I think that the closest you get to this now are Julia Evans' zines.
There are a few industries that are examples of some deep expertise. Airlines maintenance is by no means shallow, not in well ran airlines. All airspace industries I believe need deep expertise of what they are doing.

there are more industries like that, but yes, the average young person is not interested in gaining deep knowledge, they want value quick, at some point shallow knowledge will have less value and we as a collective will have to dig deeper... i hope

I think the problem is that the payoff for engaging deeply into a topic often isn’t better than the payoff for engaging in shallow learning of a wide variety of different topics.

For example, why would I want to spend time learning deeply how to write my own compiler, vs just spending that time to do tutorials for a couple different new frameworks?

Here's a virus total report on the file. I find virus total useful (as a product developer) because it will help show cases where some smaller scanner is reporting a positive.

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/718fe790bb2c1d97428199830...

tl/dr -- virus total is happy with the file.

It remains possible that middleware of some sort has altered the file before you accessed it.

You can check the hash of the file like this:

get-filehash ".\TimeSnapperProSetup.exe"

and it should return "B50A4449C9C36871280A842A530EA19694C7CBC4CF55CED5A620D8838D87CA1E" -- the same hash shown in the virus total report.

Squash your commits once you've finished prior to sending them for review? Code review of individual commits generally stems from a workflow that expects that each individual commit will contain a change that is complete in and of itself, along with the corresponding tests for that change, so that the project builds and all tests pass at every commit. This makes exploring the change history easier and reverting changes cleaner, and simplifies bisecting the commit history.
> Way, way more money

Yeah, it seems like we could solve a lot of social problems if we had a lot more nurses, school teachers, mental health pros, librarians and psychologists, and if they all had deep knowledge and high motivation.

It would be worth paying triple their current salaries to attract more people with greater commitment and enthusiasm.

We would all be richer, and could probably pay for the extra compensation through reduced crime and violence, lower healthcare and public benefits, fewer prison inmates to guard and house.

Not to mention the dividends that would compound over decades with each new generation from this modest investment.
Yes, some people need deep focus to get specialized tasks done ... brain-surgery, rocket-science. But that focus may lead them to miss some of the downsides of what they are creating, or awareness of better alternatives. I may be an expert widget-builder, so much so that I overlook the trend away from widgets.

Like everything else, cultures change. So does the meaning of 'standard-of-living', very culture-driven.

So there's also a need for 'bigger-picture' generalists. EG we need architects to oversee the bridge-builders, and planners to oversee the collective results of the architects, and philosophers to ask where in the hell we're headed. Sometimes the best solutions require painting outside our expert boxes.

10%, I’ve gotta be honest, isn’t huge. Especially when there are other measures like malnutrition rates falling by 13% which could account for it.

BMI, as an aside, is a crap measurement tool. The body-shape preferences of a Victorian man shouldn’t be used for anything more valuable than toilet paper on the modern day.

You mount it as a read only file system to a mount point. It’s like putting in a CD (remember those?) into a drive.

Sure, but the fact that it was a project at all does imply Swift had a not-insignificant speedup vs Python, meanwhile in these benchmarks Python is about2x the speed of Swift.

I don't think most people want to pull their hair out for anything, period.

Yet, young people will pursue what fascinates them very deeply when given the chance.

A huge problem is that we don't teach things in such a way that it's interesting, at all, to the majority of people.

Another problem is, of course, the focus on the next quarter's profit.

But, overall, I agree, it's a problem. Just not one I'd pin on the kids.
Solar is actually super super hard to install right now, because tariffs are in an uncertain space, so nobody knows if, should they import, if they are are going to get a bill in the next 12 months for past sales that's 1x-2x the cost of the import (I forget the exact factor).

This sort of protectionism isn't even buying us a bunch of local solar panel production, unfortunately. I'm not a free-market purist, and am in favor of protectionist tariffs to build a nascent industry, but this is not a way to do to it and we are only harming our installer industry with these terrible forms of tariffs and uncertainty.

Edit: here's an article from a little while ago on this

As someone with diagnosed mental illness and a degree in Psychology, I feel I can add something to this discussion.
My personal experience growing up was difficult. As a middle age adult, I have developed skills that make my life seem pretty normal. I no longer need psychiatric medication. One thing I tell my kids that I didn't understand when I was young is, much of what you feel and experience is the human condition. We all feel depressed, anxious, behave neurotically at times etc.. it's a matter of degree. Does it keep you from having normal relationships, a job, being financially responsible? The problem with this is there are many people I have worked with or known who couldn't keep relationship's or a job but were not mentally ill.

I would have been diagnosed on the spectrum had been born a couple decades later. My issues were blamed on being left handed, being "right brained".

I think when we live in a society where we have time to spend on social media sharing our mental health challenges in lieu of just trying to find food and shelter, it's a sign of advancement.
I am also hopeful that the current pattern of glorifying illness and sympathy seeking behavior will diminish as we all become comfortable talking about it.

Your comment makes it seem as if the Nudge work had qualified him for OIRA, when in fact he was probably one of the country's most obvious lay-up candidates for that role. As I think you know, given his own background, it would have been weirder if Obama hadn't found a role in the government for Sunstein.
You're wrong on basic facts. The US never invaded Vietnam. On the contrary, NVA and Viet Cong ireggulars invaded the countries of both South Vietnam and Laos. US armed forces entered South Vietnam at the invitation of that country's (sadly corrupt and undemocratic) government for the purpose of territorial defense. The US specifically chose not to invade North Vietnam in order to avoid war with China, who stationed more than 150,000 soldiers there during the war.
Just like a read-only file or service. There's some kind of a construction step, and thereafter it's read-only. One might do that to make it explicit that updates are expensive, to grant read-only privileges to a less trusted process, or whatever.

Somebody else can chime in with the exact mechanism by which this one is written, but common solutions include being writable sometimes or having a program to build the filesystem from known data. That might be filesystem-as-a-file, filesystem on a separate partition, or what have you.

I'd like to point out a tragic but unfortunately relevant story surrounding what I think was probably the best book in the business for a while, a little gem in the middle of a sea of junk: the 2001 Ed Brubaker and Darwyn Cooke reboot of Catwoman.

Prior to Brubaker taking over, Catwoman had become a sexist, ridiculous fantasy character for teenage boys. It was meant to be titillating rather than good. Then Brubaker completely rebooted her, writing her as a defender of the little guy in what amounted to a comic book version of film noir, even bringing back Slam Bradley, the original "detective" of Detective Comics (DC). Accordingly Cooke utterly redesigned her look as toned down, realistic and smart, and tough:

https://www.heroicgirls.com/looking-back-darwyn-cookes-catwo...

Brubaker's stories were first class and a full break from past, and even Cooke himself got to both author and draw an excellent one-off graphic novel called Selena's Big Score.

https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Catwoman:_Selina%27s_Big_Score

For a little while -- about three years maybe -- Catwoman was like absolutely nothing else on the shelves. It was like a throwback to the 1940s, classy and dark and smart. Then Brubaker and Cooke left for other projects, and the comic almost immediately reverted to its previous boobfest. It's kind of bounced back and forth in style since then but has never recovered. Without a visionary creative team, comics just revert to the lowest common denominator.
Out of curiosity, what makes you think that the EPA is responsible for Texas having such a high rate of renewable energy? This seems slightly surprising, because there are large portions of the US grid without as many renewables. Could you point me to an article explaining your theory in more detail, with evidence?

One alternate hypothesis might be that renewables are cheap and profitable, with low capital requirements. In a place like Texas, with lots of sun and wind, it might be tempting to build more renewables than the grid could support. Combined with weak regulation, this would risk destabilizing the grid.

In a complex system like an electrical grid, failures can occur for all sorts of complicated reasons. I'd be interested in understanding what happened here, based on evidence.

WEB is not a totally different programming language, it is a way to write programs. It is a hybrid (in the form presented in that article, though later versions were centered on other languages or language agnostic) of TeX and Pascal. The code that was written was proper Pascal, the documentation was proper TeX, and there was extra syntax for WEB use in naming and referencing code definitions. The WEB system had two additional components (and these terms are still used in many WEB-derived systems): WEAVE, TANGLE.

WEAVE takes a WEB source file and generates proper TeX out of it. TANGLE takes a WEB source file and generates proper Pascal.

The code written in WEB (and variants) is not necessarily in proper order for compilation, and can contain references to other blogs which are included as text-inclusions. I've never used WEB proper, but in org-mode there is org-babel. Its syntax is something like this (from memory, I use shortcuts so I don't have to memorize all the details and type them out):

To handle user input, the program will read from a file.

#+NAME: open-file (a better name would be used in a real program)
#+BEGIN_SRC lisp :noweb yes
(with-open-file (f filepath)
<<parsing>>)
#+END_SRC

elsewhere

The actual parsing will look like:

#+NAME: parsing
#+BEGIN_SRC lisp :noweb yes
...
#+END_SRC

And the order of these can be reversed, the correct output will be produced with a few other settings and options. With org-babel, when you tangle the org file it will generate one or more source files based on the options and settings you've used throughout the org file itself. Instead of WEAVE, you would just use the standard org export settings.

>>Bengaluru’s unlivability is entirely due to the failure of the public administration and widespread corruption.

As somebody whose several generations have lived in Bangalore. What you wrote could be true.

But Bangalore's current state is also due to the city growing by 100% every 5 years since the 90s.

To give you an indication as a kid in 90s, Ulsoor lake was our outskirts picnic destination. Peenya was a far industrial town outside Bangalore. Most places like Sarjapur and even Yelahanka were like very far villages outside Bangalore.

There's only that much you can build when you grow so far.

> Iron Man and Batman have taught an entire generation of moviegoers about incredibly shitty corporate behavior.

This rings true, and I would like to extend it to more general behavior. Many of these tropes are common in superhero films: unquestionably heroic good guys pitted vs irrationally evil bad guys, society is inherently corrupt and only the heroes can improve it (by personal intervention), a contrarian weakling nearly dooms everyone by disagreeing with the hero, but is ultimately shamed/killed... etc.

At the risk of sounding paranoid, they sound vaguely fascist in tone. I wonder if the last decade of movies has pushed society in that direction, or vice-versa.

> This seems ... pretty old school as well.

This doesn't surprise me. One of my projects as an intern was to generate reports from public data from ERCOT and a few other North American ISOs (organizations that control a region's power grid). Some of them are happy to reply to a basic cURL request. Others are more particular about things like your user agent or cookies set (even sites that didn't require authentication would set a cookie on first load and would reject requests to certain pages without that cookie). A few were very particular and ran some Javascript code to serve requests that made it so something like Selenium was required.

It was a bit surprising to me how many hoops we had to jump through considering this is public data that tax payers are entitled to.

If I recall correctly PJM was the best to work with because they had a well-designed REST API and provided a developer guide with sample code.

> I don't see anything that would _really_ be drain on those ERCOT resources...

I'm not sure if these controls are in place to safeguard against abuse. Most people don't even know these companies exist and I doubt they get too many requests. I'm assuming this is just a symptom of software sold to the lowest bidder.
You are misinterpreting what it is saying. It's like multi comparison bias - if you do a bunch of comparisons and find one significant at 0.05, you can go ahead and say that is significant if you had looked at it alone. But if you consider all of the experiments you are doing, you would expect to find one as significant just by random chance even if it isn't significant.

This one knows what's up. In embedded or industrial systems there is "soft" real time which means the deadline can be occasionally missed but the system will still be worthy. Or there may be I think what web or app devs do is mostly at this level. Like the "instant" or "real-time" transfer function offered by your bank. Pretty achievable with commodity hardware and software.

And you have "hard" real time which means the system is worthless if it misses a deadline. Like a stock exchange bombarded by HFT orders, a CNC mill or the airbag controller on a vehicle. Now you will need special stuff like RTOS and synchronous ethernet. It's dead serious, like missing a deadline will destroy the company.

I played with the JACK toolkit on Linux which needs a RT_PREEMPT kernel (hard RT where user applications can cut in queue before kernel stuff) which is quite funny, since people are still making good music with a non-RT windows or mac machine. Most likely you won't need hard RT for consumer facing stuff.
