To see what I mean, imagine the following scenario: Joe Haskeller is trying to learn about monads. After struggling to understand them for a week, looking at examples, writing code, reading things other people have written, he finally has an “aha!” moment: everything is suddenly clear, and Joe Understands Monads! What has really happened, of course, is that Joe’s brain has fit all the details together into a higher-level abstraction, a metaphor which Joe can use to get an intuitive grasp of monads; let us suppose that Joe’s metaphor is that Monads are Like Burritos. Here is where Joe badly misinterprets his own thought process: “Of course!” Joe thinks.

“It’s all so simple now. The key to understanding monads is that they are Like Burritos. If only I had thought of this before!” The problem, of course, is that if Joe HAD thought of this before, it wouldn’t have helped: the week of struggling through details was a necessary and integral part of forming Joe’s Burrito intuition, not a sad consequence of his failure to hit upon the idea sooner.

our growth occurs in curious ways.
I don't mean to be depressing, but what is the point of life? Like an ultimate goal or something that you must achieve?

It doesn't seem to be a one, except for the ones that we set for ourselves, which is usually trying to live as better as possible for as long as you can. And this seems fine to me, thinking too much about this can get depressing unless you can be comfortable with the fact that whatever we do in life the end outcome is always death.
Asking the question is a step in the right direction. I would try to examine your short term and long term goals and strive to make a positive contribution to the world. But those goals can be incremental. Like today you inspired me to go visit my mom. You don’t have to cure cancer to make a positive impact. And also don’t beat yourself up about video games or screen time. People need down time and pleasures to look forward to. The video game creator gets credit and satisfaction for creating a game you enjoy.
Well, milkshake is a terrible idea in my book and something I'd not like entirely. If I wish to drink something it will be beer, wine, espresso or just plain water.

Fries - no idea, I can have them but why I'd want fries home is another story; the frozen potatoes in the oven are pretty decent and no extra oil, so that's okay; again not especially enticing. If you have grown an acquired taste for McDonalds fries, so be it. At least where I live I know no one who'd say they wish to go to McDonalds for the fries.
I know it blocks braze because an app I was testing it in an app I was developing. It's possible for them to hardcode IPs, but last time I checked they were too lazy for that. Maybe static IPs still cost extra?

Some apps will do one DNS query and cache the IP they get, so maybe what you're seeing is them using IPs they cached before you rigged up this custom network situation.
Very true. Reminds me of what Seth Godin wrote on how the internet has changed people's behaviour:

> Most people, most of the time, don't buy things if there's a free substitute available. A hundred million people hear a pop song on the radio and less than 1 percent will buy a copy. Millions will walk by a painting in a museum, but very few have prints, posters or even inexpensive original art in their homes. (In the former case, the purchased music is better–quality and convenience–than the free version, in the latter, the print is merely more accessible, but the math is the same–lots of visits, not a lot of conversion).

> We don't hesitate to ask a consultant or doctor or writer for free advice, but often hesitate when it involves a payment. ("Oh, I'm not asking for consulting, I just wanted you to answer a question…") And yes, I'm told that some people cut their own hair instead of paying someone a few bucks to do it. The bet a creator makes, then, is that when she gives away something for free, it will be discovered, attract attention, spread and then, as we saw in radio in 1969, lead to some portion of the masses actually buying something. What's easy to overlook is that a leap is necessary for the last step to occur. As we've made it easier for ideas to spread digitally, we've actually amplified the gap between free and paid. It turns out that there's a huge cohort that's just not going to pay for anything if they can possibly avoid it.

> As the free-only cohort grows, people start to feel foolish when they pay for something when the free substitute is easily available and perhaps more convenient. Think about that–buying things now makes some people feel foolish. Few felt foolish buying a Creedence album in the 1970s. They felt good about it, not stupid. This new default to free means that people with something to sell are going to have to push ever harder to invent things that can't possibly have a free substitute.

> Creators don't have to like it, but free culture is here and it's getting more pervasive. The brutal economics of discovery combined with no marginal cost create a relentless path toward free, which deepens the gap. Going forward, many things that can be free, will be.

The question is when is “information provided by another information content provider?”

Suppose Facebook (corporate) generates content, sells it to an independent company, then leases it back and publishes it?

Suppose Facebook uses millions of user-submitted pictures to train an AI, then publishes the resulting images? Are those “information provided by another information content provider?”

Suppose Facebook copies and pastes user content, but claims to be the author and puts “written by Facebook and representative of the company’s official views.”

Suppose they have samples that say A and B, and they choose to show A and not B?

Suppose they like the gist of A, but it would be more compelling if they edited the image, changed the wording, and cut out other parts?

Suppose they like A, but hires staffers to completely rewrite the story, like Disney redoing Cinderella?
I’m a wikipedia contributor (so I’m quite familiar with how wikipedia works), and I wasn’t falsely equating the wiki model, I just wasn’t talking about it.
From the perspective of a retail electricity customer, would knowing this help reduce your bill?
*note: I realize I misused at least one “their” and have some other grammar issues — I write from my phone while hiking so I hope anyone in the future reading this will forgive the errors and absorb the spirit of what I’m communicating.

I just want to live in a better world. I want to level up. Leveling up demands taking the whole planet with. Things can be so much better than they are for everyone. That is where everything I say and do comes from now. I don’t care about dying if it means compromising that objective to live. Sometimes, when I see people lost and taking so many others with them, it just makes my blood boil. Everything could be so much better.
I like the system, but it doesn't stop it being accounting fiction. We made these rules up to ensure fair prices. We can rewrite the rules if we want.

Which seems relevant when people are talking about society collapsing and people freezing to death. And some people have strong financial incentives to not fix it.
Consider the following: You are 23 and realizing this. You can totally "make up" for it if you want to.

Better now than to wake up much later and go "dang, now that was wasted years".

How do you make peace with it? Start doing the things that seem important to you now.

Here is one problem to remember... do not be mad at yourself if you wake up when you are 46 and say "you know, I feel like I wish I had worked hard on this OTHER / DIFFERENT thing than the one I choose when I was 23". Just... do it again. :)
I'm 30 and recently wrote a book(in bio) about how I found peace with wasting my teenage & young adult years on technology and internet addiction.

While you can think all you want about how if you spent your time doing something differently, it won't change the now. Don't ask "what ifs", be pragmatic by removing these things from your life to add more back to it that feels more meaningful.
Sunk cost.

You can use bitterness to motivate, or you can use it to justify the same behavior.

You wake up in this body and ask: What's the most important thing I could be doing?

Get obsessed with something that pays off.
> …but you won’t pay $12/month for it?

But it’s $24/month, isn’t it? Double that if they invited the kids, in-laws, or neighbors but they don’t use it regularly because those people don’t use Slack for business — which is the whole point of the loss-leader approach: get people used to using slack, get them in the app, and then get them to bring it into larger environments where corporate rates make sense.

This new policy degrades the value of slack significantly for a bunch of long-term, low-volume users. It will cause a few people to move to a paid plan, maybe, and it will certainly cause many to leave slack. The last part will make slack less sticky, less familiar, less generally used, and will save them some amount on storage, maybe? Have you priced out storage recently? I’d bet the cost difference for storage of short text snippets between 90-day rolling and 10k messages is:
- Smaller than the variance of MTBF of different batches of disks
- Smaller than the variance on overhead in block/page size for their underlying storage system
- Smaller than the variance of employee number for their 90th percentile large customers
In other words, they’re adding annoyance and losing users for peanuts.
The analogy doesn't hold up.

Commits have a more fixed size.

Formal logic cannot be reduced in character count too far, at least without making it unintelligible (fear the day Alex the intern wheels out Unicode emoji variables).

Spreading the commits out has a purpose.

Academic papers could be vastly compressed to reduce cognitive load.

Brevity and intelligibility however is not a KPI. Self aggrandisement is.
By “producers” of course you mean “those producers that invested in sovereign energy sources (nuclear, solar, wind, …)”

Sounds like good investments are paying off, and bad investments (Germany collaborating with Putin despite Trump’s prescient advice & mockery) are not.

Capitalism at it’s finest! Too bad average people are paying the price, but in democracy, that’s literally what they voted for (non-sensical top-down EU bureaucratic green energy mandates, instead of investments into better tech & bottom-up sovereign energy investments).
...or they needed a chip that supported av1 and despite all the major tech companies being a part of the working group for years none of them had implemented it because Nvidia has a stranglehold on the industry because it makes money from h26x codecs
Yes, but which country gets to nationalize it then? I'm assuming you mean the USA, but where does that leave the users of all of the other countries that also use Facebook?
Or, at night also? Solar is all fun and games until the sun goes down and your grid needs to not collapse.
10 cents for a megawatt of electricity is an unheard of marginal cost in any situation.

your local costs in the US range from 5-25 cents per kilowatt hour (1/1000 of that), with ideal solar being the cheapest amortized at roughly 3 cents/kwh
At 23 you are thinking this. Kudos for that first! You have all the time rest of your life! You should pluck "regret" at its root and resolve that. Regret would always exist. Even if you had spent time coding/OS etc, regret would've shown in different form. And regret will always be your shadow and you need to make peace with it. Someday, one these regrets will propel you to do something radical and THAT will be the thing that will resolve this truly. Until then make peace with the fact that you are now self-aware and still got so much time left!
Current spot price in northern Norway is €10.16/MWh, while it is €745.08/MWh in southern Norway (73x the price), largely due to limitations in transport networks between the electricity zones. The price in the northern zone is so low that some hydro plants have stopped producing electricity as they would be losing money at the current price level.

Electricity Maps has an excellent visualization showing breakdowns of each electricity zone, with imports/export to each neighbor zone etc:

I had an opportunity to work at a company that developed one of the more prominent software suites for railways in America.

Unfortunately, the pay was too low and the company was having people come into the office in June of 2020.
that's the advantage of the Single Market
Spam and disinformation are fake account/bot problems. Totally separate issue that can be solved by tying accounts to real people, without necessarily exposing their identity publicly.

As for hate speech, that's not only somewhat subjective, but you can't solve that by banning people. Every instance of people turning away from bigotry was the result of conversation and engagement, like the black Panthers partnering with the KKK to fight a common cause, or the admirable Daryl Davis.

Basically, the outcomes you describe are only inevitable if we make the exact same choices we've already made. Well duh. What's the definition of insanity again?
>Electricity isn't optional

food isn't optional either. How well did nationalized food production work out?

>"The market" didn't make water, or housing, or waste, or healthcare, or telecoms, etc, cheaper once privatized.

I can get the source for each of those claims? Some of them seem dubious, eg. housing. Was housing ever not privatized?

>In fact, it didn't make energy cheaper in the countries that privatized it.

well if we're talking about "energy" in general (ie. not just electricity), I can point out a counter-example of PDVSA going to shit after it was nationalized.
As with all academics that gain fame, and then step outside their field of expertise, he started to look a tad stupid. Peterson is another example, as are those German "intelectuals" who also called for a Ukrainian surrender of sorts.
This is a good read that explains a lot of how the market works https://www.politico.eu/article/why-europes-electricity-is-s....

Basically to enable recouping investments in primarily wind/solar since they have no real ongoing input costs. The article explains it well, but doesn't paint a good picture until those future storage technologies are here.
A few companies started using cardboard bread tags (made from recycled paper) these days. I guess compostable bread bags will be next.
I’m going to challenge you buy saying this. I’ve progressed much much quicker by studying the differences between. は and が, because I learn it and I forget it. I don’t think about it when using it anymore, however it’s in there somewhere when I get lost.

Same for English. I did learn it, I also forgot it. It’s not in there but it is. Same for being able to explain verb conjugations.

I agree though on some points for sure. Especially how well my German fiends (for example) understand the theory of English compared to me.

IIUC, prefab construction is a labor arbitrage.

If laborers cost 2-3x more in a major city, and you can get laborers to work in a small town 5 hours away for 1/2 - 1/3 the price - then it makes sense.

Otherwise, you're mostly paying for the same amount of labor and a lot of money on shipping - for a small gain in labor efficiency.
which would give more producers (and wana-be-producers) the incentive to invest in renewables to take a piece of that profit pie.

Doesnt seem like a bad outcome tbh.
You might find the book "Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals" by Oliver Burkeman helpful. It's not all about productivity, but also how we relate to time. (we didn't always worry about it so much)

Here are a couple of the more detailed summaries I've found:

Metta is very good, and I hope we all find this way of seeing! I honestly feel that if we all practiced it, wars would cease to exist. It’s not important to be right or wrong, it’s important to feel reciprocated and seen as a human being. It’s an attitude we could all benefit from and integrate in our culture.

And this is not a swipe. This really does need a citation. It's believable, but only just.
In American English, people are in the hospital, but in UK English people are in hospital. So it only behaves that way in some Englishes.
It would also make sense for Germany but they don’t want two zones. That also causes issues for connected countries.
Poland. As an EU citizen working online, it was as easy as buying a plane ticket, renting an AirBNB, registering a company, and waiting over a year until I got connected to the healthcare / social security system and such.
I've been coding since I was 11, and I have a similar "the grass is greener" experience.

I don't socialise much, and I rarely get a kick out of much other than coding.

Socialising around physical exercise has been the best cure from living in a command-line for 25 years.
Are you asking about hardware or the routing configuration? If configuration, there are some example scripts on github not tested by me [1] that create a base configuration and have templates for creating traffic balancing rules. To find more examples one could use google to search for "site:github.com linux multihomed routing". Some of these scripts use routing table rules and some use iptables. My personal preference would be to use routing rules as they have a lower CPU impact and keep iptables rules cleaner and simpler.

For hardware I prefer to get fanless mini-pc style routers that have multiple 1gbe or 2.5gbe interfaces so that it's easier to apply rules and also traffic shaping to them. I use protectli devices and load alpine linux on them but really anything will do. CPU speed only starts to matter if they plan on doing network VPN's on their router. If they can find one with Intel server NIC's that can allow for more network driver options but any Intel NIC's would be better than some of the other options that come with some of the fanless PC's in my opinion and experience.

The gaming industry and the addiction they manufacture are our contemporary opium traders. The entire concept of the gaming industry is unethical by nature, it is a leech upon the world, and is a powerful coefficient in the destruction of culture and of social bonds in civilization. A healthy culture has strong foundation and is lived, owned by those who live it. Culture has become mere spectacle, to be watched and emulated.

I am 29, I wasted my youth playing games.

Some politicians in Latvia are using the same rhetoric: our hydro plants have a production cost of 0.1x/MWh, but nordpool price is xMWh. Somebody is stuffing their pockets!!

What they don't say is: some of our hydro plants are being maintained and the rest are capable of generating a fraction of country's needs.
Sure, some of the money goes to small privately owned plants, but the most goes to large state-owned plants, who are (ideally) using the money to upgrade their equipment and the rest goes to government as dividends, which will probably be spent to support heating expenses in winter..
The address registers were paired up with the data registers, so modifying A1 would cause an implicit load into X1, for example. A6 and A7 modifications caused implicit stores from X6/X7. So with careful register assignment and some offset initialization of address registers beforehand, array processing loops could be encoded in remarkably few instructions.
> There is only now.

> Finally, you're still very young

I am 34 and want to say to the 23 yo regretting their high-school/college years: Learn and reflect on your past but don't dwell too much, because there is a hell you can do now. By learning from your past, you turn it into gold.
> "The second thing is, the past is dead and gone. You can't do anything about it. You can learn to let go of it or you can let it consume your present and deny you whatever future you're trying to make for yourself. There is only now."

This is a valid approach, and a key principle of many worldviews (especially those focused on the present). To provide an alternative approach too, it's also useful to reframe the past, so it's not haunting or negative when it comes to mind.

There are many bright spots. Like another commenter akmarinov wrote, the original poster has experience with what makes an engaging game. Social media experience is also useful for future efforts to raise awareness about a service or product. The time spent also gives a much stronger motivation to make the most out of future learning, instead of going through the motions in classes.

Someone who really wants to be a great computer scientist and follows through most days in the future, which is completely still possible, can really get the most out of their education.
Cool. Let me pay $20/month for an ad-free Internet (not just one site). I already have Youtube Premium.

I’ve started coding at your age, while I was in Veterinary School. Now I’m 37 and I’m a pretty good developer, not (only) because of my technical capabilities, but because of my communication skills and empathy, that’s something that you can learn elsewhere.
Last year I was a bit depressed because I haven’t achieved great goals (midlife crisis) and so I started learning something new (Jazz Piano) from start, and that is bringing me joy again.
This makes me feel that the joy is in the process, I will never be Jhon Carmack or Bill Evans, but I’m always growing and that is beautiful.

If you are not one of those users for whom the software is built, how will you know when you're done?
If you have the source code for both you should ideally use something like GRPC or another way to communicate. Or maybe cgo if you want to wet your hands into that.

The approach in this blog works with compiled binaries.
Remember that, while prices have soared, electricity generation has not become more expensive. The "electricity crisis" is a crisis for European consumers but a massive windfall for producers. This is a market failure - not an electricity failure.
> but my point is regardless to compare a language like English that has a grammaticalized future tense via auxiliary verb to languages that don't grammaticalize future tense.

These humongous walls of text sound rather like "and therefore I choose to define what English does as 'grammaticalize' and what Japanese does as 'not grammaticalize'".

> I find the "Mysterious Japanese mind" trope orientalist and stupid.

Then maybe have another think about why you're coming off as if that's exactly what you're doing.
