> And then theres this faux-centrist meta hatred of strong opinions

I suspect you're conflating "hatred of strong opinions" with "hatred of people who prioritize their own radical ideology over the good of their country". I don't think many people hate strong opinions.

> and a general malaise of false equivalence. The Democrats and the Republicans are not the same.

No, but partisans are the same in that they both are willing to sacrifice the good of the country to see the other side lose on some token issue or another (pronouns, trans bathroom policies, etc).

> pushes radical christian nationalist policies which a majority of the population

No parties are pushing "Christian nationalist" policies. Whatever your position on abortion, banning it isn't "Christian nationalism". It's not an unreasonable position that human life (and thus human rights) begins before birth. There are some more extreme positions that are unpopular and hard to defend which the right pushes for (prohibiting abortions even when pregnancies are unviable or threaten the life of the mother) but there are also positions that are unpopular and hard to defend that the left pushes for (elective late term abortions).

> from a heavily gerrymandered and structurally unfair (the Dakotas have the same number of Senators as NY and CA, f.x.)

I think this is eminently fair, and without this the Dakotas would be steamrolled by the likes of NY and CA. Policies that make sense in NYC (restrictions on single family housing, car transportation, gun ownership, etc) would be forced on the rural states because they would be too irrelevant to worry about (why take the time to make sure policies work for the Dakotas when they are politically irrelevant?).

> Now, im not making a statement of 'correctness' vis a vis one side or the other, but if youre a woman or a person of color or queer in this country, The GOP policy platform is inherently hostile to your continued free existence.

I think this is patently absurd--I'm not a Republican nor have I ever voted for a Republican. However, it's not "hostile to people of color" for the GOP to stand with 80% of black Americans in opposition to de-policing policies which have driven the last decade's violent crime surge (which has disproportionately impacted black communities). Similarly, it's not "hostile to queer people" to pass a law which prohibits teaching sexuality ideology (whether left-wing gender ideology or "christian nationalist" ideology).

This is precisely the problem with partisan politics--any attempt to improve the country that falls outside of your narrow ideology is defined in the worst terms ("if you don't support police abolition you're a genocidal white supremacist!", "if you support enforcing immigration policies, you're literally Hitler!", "if you think late term abortions should be illegal, you're a 'Christian nationalist' that hates women"). This is precisely the kind of extremist hatred that is swelling the ranks of the right.

> Nearly every game ships broken. We're talking major AAA titles from vendors who are everyday names in the industry.
There's plenty of water in Southern California for just residential use (although it certainly shouldn't be wasted). Most of the water is going to agriculture, and many of the agricultural products are exported to other states or countries. So even if those people moved from California back to the Midwest, that won't fix our water shortage.

Ultimately the only solution is to shift away from the water rights system and subsidized water prices, and instead institute a market system with dynamic pricing based on the actual supply. This may mean that California's farmers have to adopt more water efficient practices such as are already used in Israel, and reduce acreage devoted to water intensive crops such as alfalfa.

Chess.com has plenty of value, it just isn't as free or open as lichess.

Cheds.com supports more game modes / variations (bughouse and puzzle rush are two favorites!), better social features, built in lessons and lectures you can buy or subscribe to, the client is snappy and lets you set up a sequence of premoves instead of just one, etc.

Lichess also has some killer features of it's own: everything is free, including tournaments, the titled arenas are nice, the analysis tools are free and easy to use, etc.

There doesn't have to be just one platform. A paid and open source platform can both offer different value propositions even if there's some overlap.

> and basically every male superhero has had a female version at this point.

And a male kid-version.

Ex: Superboy. Kid Flash. Robin. Aqualad. They even get together and form a kid-version of the Justice League (Young Justice), actually another team because there are so many of them (Teen Titans).

Complaining about slightly-altered superheroes in kid / female / minority / gay / lesbian / whatever form is... weird? Like comics have been doing this for decades.

Its been going on for so long, that the "kid version" have grown up and made their own superhero teams. Robin grew up into Nightwing and leads the Outsiders. Batgirl grew up into Oracle and leads the Birds of Prey.

In some cases, the "female" version outstrips the original in popularity. Zatara may be the original DC stage magician, but his daughter Zatanna is definitely the more popular comic book superheroine.
There is also the the third option of course: not tracking users.
Lots of music is performed first, and only later transcribed (often from a recording). In all cases, a music performance contains more data than sheet music (although there's no guarantee that the performer played their sheet music accurately to the page, if they had any). However, in many cases it's much more productive to learn a song by listening to a recording. Paul McCartney famously didn't use sheet music at all.

I guess sheet music is like documentation, but just like documentation it's often incomplete, wrong, confusing, misleading, or worse than nothing at all. Sometimes it's the only ground truth we have, such as with classical music where we can't know what the composer truly had in mind, so in cases like that I'd say the sheet music is effectively the source code.

The coastal commission citing socioeconomic concerns of water rate increases is especially strange, given that their mission has nothing to do with how much and who pays for water: https://www.coastal.ca.gov/whoweare.html

A much better option would have been to have the local water agencies have households opt into the water at a higher rate and not be subject to limits, e.g. up to 80% of the limit, pay $X, then 20% pay $1.5X and then pay $3X to subsidize those who cannot pay. We have progressive rate schedules on many things and they work well enough. If enough people opt in, the subsidy from those paying a lot more could even be used to reduce or eliminate costs for low income households.

> The return on investment for a PhD student in Computer Science to society must be absolutely ridiculous.

Are you sure? Most of them produce a bunch of either theoretical papers with little hope of ever being applied (e.g. guys squabbling about second decimal point of the constant in theoretical computational complexity of some algorithm), or, if they're in an applied field, their papers are heavily gamified to beat state of the art in some meaningless way (or just fake the results). Most of it is useless BS and I'd say is actually worsening the society, because journals and conferences are now filled with useless cruft which make finding the actual valuable contributions very hard.

Not quite, in math class (0,0) is the center and you can go positive and negative on both axes. You would be taking the coordinate system from math class and limiting everything to the first quadrant which doesn't seem natural at all (in computer graphics or in math).

There's a point to make which is that most people don't probably have problems writing Vulkan code, but shaders instead (that's unless you already know OpenGL). For Vulkan you have many good bindings already in different languages, but then you get into actually writing shaders which requires completely different programming mindset -- everything runs in parallel by default. All your algorithms have to be divide and conquer, so say bye bye to imperative style accumulators. The concepts might be hard to grasp unless you know your way around functional and array programming languages.
Almost 50 here. 40+ is not just an age. It sucks being in your 40s. Things really don't work the same. My brain is slower, I get confused a little bit more, I struggle to find the right words at least 3 times a day. Even worse, your parents get sick and you have to start worrying about them and taking care of them.

Enjoy your 30s to the fullest, because it gets worse and it's completely out of your control to make it better. The best you can expect in your 40s is to slow down the decline.

Before you fall into the trap of inventing the umpteenth "all-encompassing" computing guild, like in that XKCD comic, how about trying to address the underlying problem that you'd like to have solved?

You're making a few disingenuous claims.

Firstly, that it is illegitimate to criticise capitalism because it has created some benefits. As if we're not even allowed to dream of system reform because we're currently doing better than other countries. Very little social or economic progress would be made if we all thought like this.

Secondly, that those benefits are purely due to unadulterated capitalism. In reality, Western countries follow a mixture of capitalist, statist, and socialist policies. The poor in the US have seen improvements because of the minimum wage, anti-trust regulations, and various social safety nets combined with economic growth.

Thirdly, that the only thing holding other countries back is "their own cultures". This ignores widespread, long-term destabilising interference by Western countries in Africa, the Middle East, South Asia and South America.

To counter that a bit, rich people with these kinds of assets can take out loans or cash with their assets as collateral. And of course these loans have way better rates than whatever kinds of loans you and me could get. Even better - This way, they don't even have to pay capital gains tax.

What I'm saying is, Vlad could most likely buy an expensive yacht without ever having to actually sell stock, so the argument that "it’s not like it’s just cash sitting in a checking account" is not that fair as well. Makes it seem like the uber-rich are actually quite restricted and that all of their money is locked up in investments and other things. Which is simply not true, they can use these locked-up assets in very attractive ways.

> protein pacing diet for the remaining five/six days/week (Protein pacing refers to 4–6 meals/day evenly-spaced, where each meal contains 25–40g of protein)

> During fasting days, participants fasting for one day/week were allowed to consume 400 Kcal/day, while participants fasting for two consecutive days were allowed 500 Kcal/day. During non-fasting days the dietary regimen provided 1350 and 1700 kcals/day for women and men, respectively, and a macronutrient distribution consisting of 35% protein, 35% carbohydrate, and 30% fat.

That's somehow more calories/day than I would expect for a "fasting day", and fairly restrictive over-all. I'd be curious to hear how these compare to someone on the 1350/1700 kcal/day diet 7 days a week.

in my experience, having access to the aws dashboard rarely indicates mastery of the platform and knowledge of which tool is best for the job. it is incredibly common to lift and shift on premise workloads to ec2 with an rds instance to save the cognitive load of application refactoring. this creates a different flavor of infrastructure complexity without taking full advantage of the services on offer.

Apartment living sucks. People love hearing their neighbors in the bedroom next door and their kids stomping on the floor upstairs while practicing their tumbling moves. Walking groceries up multiple floors of stairs is great too. And if you want to tinker on your car or some woodworking project … too bad. Do you want to add a new bedroom for a new family member? … too bad. Want to plant some plants or a garden? … too bad. Want a pool, workshop, or a garage? … too bad. Want to allow your young kids to go outside safely? … too bad. Want to get a dog of a certain breed like a German Shepherd or Bull dog? … too bad. The restrictions of apartment living are numerous in comparison to a single family property.

Not everyone wants to live like that.

They use the term "eating freely" which to me would imply the option to consume nothing but popcorn and McDonalds. Or at least the option to eat as many calories as desired.

To have a caloric restriction below 2000 per day is a restricted diet to me - not that that's bad.
There is a lot going on in this question, so I apologize if my answer doesn't address.

It really comes down to what you mean by "better for the economy". When most people care about the economy, what they really care about is how much "stuff" they or the average person can buy.

To one extreme, many people would still be unhappy if the GDP and "economy" doubled, but only 10% of people were working. Either 90% of people would be going without, or they would be on some sort of welfare taxed from the 10%.

To the other extreme, many people would be unhappy if there were 100% employment, but all you could buy with it is a loaf of bread.

The ideal is to have high labor demand (usually associated with high employment) and growing GDP.
This means that people who want to work can easily get a job, and the amount of "stuff" they can get from working keeps going up.
