Yeah, I think non-tech in general pays less, and doesn't share equity or whatever. But it pays in other ways: great coworkers, generally sane management (often a bit disorganized, but at least generally people who I can trust and am happy to work alongside, as opposed to the ruthless bloodsucking monsters you sometimes hear about in big tech). And tremendously better work-life balance. I've never had to crunch, release or not, and I've never had anyone yell at me for anything... I would've walked out the door if they had tried, or if they had similarly demeaned a coworker. Shrug. My life and dignity are more important than a FAANG salary. What good is, say, FIRE (the early retirement at any cost movement) if you live the prime years of your life in misery? I'd prefer a happy and modest life any day over luxury indentured servitude with the hope of some future payoff.

That's not to say you should live in abject poverty, but that jobs and careers can offer more fulfillment than simple dollars in a paycheck. I've loved all the jobs I've ever had, because I picked them carefully and chose them holistically, not just based on the highest bidder. Work culture matters a LOT... the people you work with become another family, and the good ones care about you and don't want you to work late just the same as I wouldn't want anyone to sacrifice their kids or their mental health or their passions for work -- coworker, boss, founder, anything.

EVERY job I've ever held, except maybe early retail when I was young, held similar attitudes... let's get together, work hard, respect boundaries, respect autonomy and each others' lives. Most importantly, we all thought of each other as people first and employees/managers/owners second, both before but especially after covid when everyone's private lives became a regular part of their online lives.

If your work environment is actively toxic, man, get the hell out of there. It's not worth whatever they're paying you. You could be happy with much, much less.

I doubt we will be able to come to a mutual understanding, but the thought and morality held by many is as follows:

I will work with a bad person to do a good thing. I will not work with a good person to do a bad thing. My participation is based on the morality of the thing that I am doing, not the other person's past or context .

To put it technically, the focus is on the first order action and effect.

This is in contrast to an increasingly popular moral assessment based on speculative second and third order effects.
If your not being purposefully obtuse, do you understand the concept of differing timespans?

Given enough, time, such as millions of years, yes any human made structure will likely depreciate to zero value. Because even solid granite can be eroded down into dust from simple weathering, let alone normal building materials.

That doesn't guarantee any specific structure, such as the one you linked, will depreciate to zero within human timescales.

And obviously if structures are maintained they will probably not.

That doesn't invalidate the concept of wear and tear or depreciation.

If you maintain a structure you are by definition putting resources such as energy, materials, labor, etc., into it, so maintenance isn't free.

Those resources represent a real cost that someone has to pay for.

There is fraud in the legal sense and the colloquial sense. If I describe myself as a genius programmer, but am actually quite below average, I'm probably not legally on the hook for fraud, but me peers might call my one.

Similarly if you continually claim year after year that full self driving is a year away your either clueless about how long it'll take and how difficult a problem it is, while also being too clueless to realize how clueless you are (despite being so consistently wrong), and a colloquial fraud, or you know darn good and well that your claims are wrong and are just putting them out there to boost your stock price (potentially legal fraud).

> they select for students that had the luck (or the right parentage) to go to either a private school or to a public school in a well-funded school district.

They select for math ability, it just so happens that students with access to great resources get better at math than those without them.

> The result is that the student base will be overwhelmingly white rich kids, which is pretty problematic
Pretty clearly not true. It is overwhelmingly asian kids and while wealth plays a factor, poor asians still do exceptionally well (IIRC poor asians do better than rich whites). This can never be acknowledged because it makes people less sympathetic to your point.

> purpose of academia - that is, to provide education and research opportunities to the actually gifted instead

A students innate ability is irrelevant for college admissions. What matters is what are your actual capabilities. Are you capable doing mathematics at the highest level or are you not? An innately talented student who is bad at math due to life circumstances out of their control is still bad at math.
I read the article:

Yes, and you'll find many of those very large corps are questioning why they're using it now. Which is a great thing, many businesses should be in constant reevaluation of why they rely on certain tooling.

Personally doubt the better performance, I have yet to see a case where that is true unless they were comparing it unevenly to some behemoth like Styled-Components. When you compare it to SASS the performance difference ceases to exist. Same with "improves the dev exp", I don't see how this is the case at all especially when you have to install an additional extension to get full proper support in your IDE of choice. You are still working with variables, if you are on a tiny team/solo, it makes sense to use Tailwind defaults but on a large team where your design team should be creating their own? What use does Tailwind have then when the utility classes are just going to be overwritten? You're still creating the components yourself.
> I feel like these tests are kind of like buying a house based on nominal square footage alone

Great analogy.

Buying a house is about far, far more than just the square footage. How are the neighbors? How's the walkability? Noise levels? Schools? Access to transport routes? Access to jobs? Property taxes? HOA fees? Access to activities of interest?

There are so many factors to buying a house that it would be ridiculous to look at any single dimension alone and make a determinate based on that one dimension.
I remember this being solved over ten years ago, without ML, there was this software that seamlessly blended between poses and activities (morphine or something like that?). I wonder what happened to them. Unreal 5 also has similar tech.

I work on ESG consulting and part of the speech we give is "... ESG is not only environmental, there's other important areas to improve like making sure there's no kids working on your company, blah blah" kind of like a joke and it then triggers more jokes from the other side like "Oh you got us, time to change our plans" etc ... and then we never talk about the subject again because who is going to actually do that, right? Right?!

Well, color me amazed, TIL there's child labor happening in the US.
Here are some of the connection. The SAT is a basic test where strategy can come into great affect. And honestly, it's surprising how little some of the strategy is talked about -- but I suspect amongst the wealthy it's well known.

But back to the topic. A 1550 on the SAT says very little about your mathematical ability. The test just doesn't measure your ability to do more than basic algebra and has no real measure of writing ability. And honestly probably has a somewhat inverse relationship on your ability to read nuance into text (which is one of the first strategies I teach -- this isn't English class -- there's no nuance in anything you read on the SAT).

On advanced college math -- kids who are actually good at math likely have a high math SAT score, but their verbal score can vary a fair bit. I regularly see kids with 1400-1450 SATs, with perfect math scores who are Math Olympiad stars.

The likely end game of this though is that schools REALLY start teaching to the test. Why even offer AP tests if they don't help admission? Why even teach biology or physics at all? Simply teach SAT math, reading comprehension (which is comprehension of the worst kind) and what the SAT calls writing. So no more calculus or statistics. Even most of what is taught in algebra II is thrown out the window.

Today the 95%ile of SATs is around 1440. It would probably move up to around 1550, once schools teach to that test year around for four years. And any actually advanced undergrad courses are tossed because they can't get enough students to fill them.

And other countries will realize that the US left a huge gap -- the ability get students who strong in like areas and train them. They'll target the best math students, the best programmers, the best artists, etc...

Interestingly, the best meritocracy we have in society is sports. And in sports they recruit holistically -- that is they don't exclusively use HS stats (these are generally worthless) or combine numbers (these have some value, but limited). They use scouting services. And the very best athletes tend to congregate in programs that will develop them the best. Many hold up sports as a great example of meritocracy, yet it actually doesn't rely solely on measurables (in fact they are moving further and further from it).

What sports has though is a good objective function. What is the objective function of school? Answering that question will greatly help determine what the best path forward is.
As a once-serious competitive shooter player, I can say that roguelikes and roguelites has been great substitutes as I've aged and lost the drive and time required for competitive team games.

I love the process of going from getting my ass kicked to speed running with multiple stacking difficulties. Roguelikes are also much easier to pick up and put down.
>Well, less gathering because WFH arguably means less friends made in aggregate means less trusting relationships, means downward spiral for society.

This is a false equivalency. You don't need to be friends to have a basic sense of trust that people won't stab you in the back or be out to get you.

>And yet, people form lasting relationships from school friends, both high school and college.

There are two very big differences you don't give any credence to. Kids are still growing and put with their peers. Comparatively, adults are far more rigid, have already traversed most of their social lives and many are not among their peers in anything except a commonly practiced discipline. Sharing a discipline isn't a net gain by default, either.

Regardless, it doesn't really matter. You don't need to forcefeed people one way of working like we've done for the past decades, for one. For two, most of your arguments towards adults are moot considering work friends aren't solving the problems most people have regarding lack of friends, quality time, love and romance, and more. Trying to pine this on WFH is pointing at the red herring.
Oh, that’s fair, I misread the wording.
Really? promote or force?

Can you name any policies or bills that Republicans have to make this happen? Can you prove that social norms have an effect on crime or homelessness? Are you claiming gay people are more likely to be criminals because they don't?

Homeless:
"Research shows that, compared to homeless families, homeless single adults have higher rates of serious mental illness, addiction disorders, and other severe health problems."
How would social norms fix that? If an adult has a mental illness and can't afford care are you willing to have universal health care? You don't think if they had family that could take them in and they were willing they would do that?

It's not orders, it's the incentive structure and maybe some amount of tragedy of the Commons. If you are the head of a publication, you can stop reporting about outlier events and dramatizing them. However, your publication's market share and reach will drop or you'll entirely go out of business. The attention will instead go to publications who do feet the outrage machine.

Sure, Go can get away with more primitive GC exactly because it has “value types”, so less garbage is created. But they are still much worse, lower latency only means that they pause threads to get more breathing space if they have been allocating too heavily, they are absolutely not even close to the same league Java’s low latency ZGC does.
There's a big misconception that the creators of go didn't want generics. They've stated a number of times that they didn't have a design that they all thought was adequate.

After several years and attempts at a good enough proposal, Ian Lance Taylor put one out that was able to cross the finish line, and now we have generics.

I'm sorry you're going through a difficult time right now. It's very admirable to that you're looking to help yourself to better be there for your child.

I found myself in a similar situation 2 years ago, when it felt like the world was collapsing around me and the narrative of my life falling to pieces was the dominant soundtrack in my mind.

There was no easy fix, but I do believe that taking up a mindfulness/meditation practice was what helped me to become what I believe is the happiest I've been ever in my life for well over a year now.

The biggest change for me was the weakening of the feeling of the self as a distinct concept and the narrative attached to it. When that dropped away it was incredible how many habits that improved my quality of life just started happening. My sleep routine became fixed, I started exercising almost every day, and my friendships blossomed.

It's hard to describe - but these changes seemingly arose out of observation rather than an act of will.

Just one suggestion out of many, but I hope you find yourself feeling less stuck in the near future.

I think it’s important to distinguish DSM Sociopath (Joffrey) from Gervais Principle Sociopath (Cersei).

Both abbreviate to “sociopath” but they are very different concepts.

I don’t think Joffrey qualifies as a GP Sociopath at all, as GP notes. While he was “in charge” he didn’t play the GP Sociopath game, and so was quickly removed. As the OP notes it’s possible for Clueless to be placed in positions of power in plenty of cases, for example when a fall guy is needed, or a puppet. So just wearing the crown doesn’t mean he MUST be a GP Sociopath.

I took a typing class when I was 8 -- but I don't know that I really learned to touch type from that, though. Maybe it helped me feel comfortable with keyboards, but I don't think I attained the rigorous discipline of touch typing - it was just too easy to look at the keys.

But I had a little book of typing exercises that I came back to in 8th grade. (And then in 9th grade my high school offered a one-year class, and I ended up with the fastest typing speed in the class.) Looking back, I'd say that it's easy to learn to touch-type if you're motivated and want to -- and can stick with practicing for a long-enough period that it sinks in.

At some point it becomes self-reinforcing -- because you can touch-type, you start typing letters to your friends and papers for school...which gives you all the practice you need.

High prices are good news because home building is profitable, you get increased supply and that buffers price shocks. If prices start falling it will put home builders out of business (The same as 2008), and we’ll have another decade of housing shortages. Sure there will be some people who benefit, people with means who can use cash to go scoop up cheap real estate as an investment. The average person is going to be screwed and the bank will not give them a 9% interest loan during a recession.

On a more abstract note, deflation is terrible for an economy. In a healthy economy you want people to be building things. It creates jobs, lifts people out of poverty, and so on. Deflation causes people to hoard cash and stop working and investing.

I think it's not normal in the US to have a gun pulled on you. But maybe not too unusual for a city person to have been mugged at gun or knife point, at least once.

The reason I've been mugged multiple times is that I used to walk many, many more hours late at night in cities than most US people do. (I also discouraged numerous opportunistic mugging approaches, before they happened.)

I've never held a gun. And I'd guess most US coastal city people almost never see guns in person, except like you describe. Despite the impression we get of the US from TV shows and movies, about half the US votes for the political party that says we need more restrictions on guns.
