This. The propaganda of the media, both intentional and accidental, is impacting our Democracy more than I would have thought possible. Being a critical thinker, I made the classic error of assuming that others could not easily be duped, and would actually do their own research on the issues. Boy was I wrong. We are all entitled to our own opinions, but we cannot survive as a Democracy if the citizenry believe they are entitled to their own FACTS. This is truly the challenge of the present, and I feel we are going to shortly lose our Democracy to bad actors who are more than willing to use our own intellectual weaknesses against us.

Money is an abstraction for other people owing you a favour. If the world falls apart, more than a stockpile of any particular good, what I'd want is neighbours who were willing to help me out. And for that purpose, "stockpiling" social relationships - attention - seems like a better bet than stockpiling gold or USD.

> He loves them but mom hates them and insists on a limit of 10 minutes per day.

Come on this is ridiculous! 10 minutes is nothing!.

Maybe 2 or 3 hours, but 10 minutes? It will take him a full year to finish the first part of a game!, and will never allow him to discover games with depth and stories(my favorites), so he is going to play quick mobile games, which IMO are the worst.

> I am not sure she is wrong. I played a lot of games as a kid and I probably could have done better things with my time. Not that I got any guidance as to what those better things would have been, but still.

Games in my experience are a gateway to most of tech, for example my first interaction with networks and servers was when trying to create a Minecraft server to play with my friends.

Like everything, doing it moderation is the best, I think 2 or 3 hours would be fitting(not that I had them personally),

But please make sure there is actually something else for him to do, because otherwise he is going to spend the whole day waiting for these three hours.

> At the same time, it seems like a lot of dads are bonding with their boys by playing games, and I wonder if I am missing out.

Probably, your kid is also missing out on playing with his friends online.

To this day gaming is one of the biggest ways to keep in touch with remote people for me.

Different person here and I'm also not going to provide external information, only more perspective and I'm more so curious on what your first counterpoints in your mind would be, absent any source:

Video games are the cheapest form of paid entertainment for the amount of time that a single purchase occupies.

Despite their audience being extremely price sensitive (which has nothing to do with socioeconomics, just consumer expectations), all stakeholders recognize this and extract value in other ways.
Also what I thought … and indeed turns out to be the case in actual usage. It's quite fast to get a usable API up and running with FastAPI, starting from zero to the point of making useful requests to the API and getting back useful data. The actual speed of API access itself (the response times for the requests, etc) has never really been an issue I've wrestled with (me not being Twitter, etc. and not needing zillions of requests per second).

You’ll find that most of what happens behind the scenes in vscode is available in neovim (and probably vim and emacs). The heavy lifting is done by lsps these days.

One notable exception is that neovim has treesitter, so you get immediate semantic analysis on your code which allows for much more flexible refactoring. Like everything in vim, you need to spend time setting these things up to streamline your common workflows.
Babies can't regulate their body temperatures well so no, they are not happy when cold. They are happy in the cold when properly dressed and warm, which I assume you meant.

The key point here with this napping thing that did the rounds is that this is just for short naps. People in Norway/Finland do not leave their babies in a cold environment for long periods of time. Presumably the main reason they do this cold outside nap is that it's easier to get a baby to fall asleep in a pram (safely wrapped up) but very disruptive to then bring it inside, where it will be warm, have to undress it and then inevitably wake it. But I don't know, there are probably also other reasons. But parents in nordic countries are the same as everyone else when it comes to heating their homes appropriately, especially for night time sleeping.

Personally I would imagine even things like eating would be harder if the room is too cold and the infant must always be maximally layered up. It doesn't need to be any harder.

Many non-authoritarian countries don’t have term limits for their head of state.

At my university we use Moodle and that lets me setup a page where students can schedule one-on-one appointments with me (during office hours). When a student books a time, Moodle sends me an email with the details.

Maybe, but games in general have actually gotten a lot more complex and difficult over the years. Look at any long-running series (e.g. Super Mario Bros, COD, Street Fighter), the newer games have more and more mechanics, and they are competing against newer franchises with the same complexity. Also look at the popularity of Elden Ring, rougelikes and other "hard mode" games. Even some F2P games like Clash of Clans have a surprising amount of complexity, some of it being the alternate currencies and addictive mechanics they use to get people to spend more.

You may still be right about games not impacting cognition the same, as the complexity has shifted from mastering and creatively utilizing simple mechanics into learning convoluted ones. Also, older games were much less likely to have "easy mode" and there were no online guides, you had to figure out everything yourself. But even some modern games are like this (except for the "no online" part): "retro" and "indie" games like Slay the Spire and Celeste.

Oh, another useful fact for you - you claimed your routine is good up to $100 billion, that it takes input in pennies, and interest scaled by 1000. Your temp scale factor starts as 10,000, and then is multiplied by 10, so your principal in pennies is scaled by 100,000 before the loop.

The first operation in the loop requires computing P * R. For a rate, say of 8.000%, your rate is 8000, so computing P * R is ($100B * 100) * (100,000) * 8000 = 8 * 10^21, which is a 73 bit number (74 bit for signed).

How exactly do you fit this 74 bit computation in a 64 bit signed int again?

Hopefully this helps you understand your scaled integer solution better.

The End of Adolescence (2016)
One thing I remember from childhood is playing console games at houses of friends who owned consoles. They would be masters of the game and I would pick up a controller and from lack of experience feel completely lost and useless at the game and lose interest quickly. There's seems like there would be a self selection where those who can fall into the learned behavior of the game/reward cycle (console or phone easy access) can get lost in it for quite a time barring supervision. The study itself also mentions confounding things like higher percentage of gamers in study being male (so maybe gender plays a larger role than chance), weird memory effects like the video gamers being better for a short time at start of testing but falling off rapidly versus non gamers being able to continue at a higher level. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle...

I think the reward systems have evolved differently than the gameplay systems. The reward systems are addictive but the gameplay has improved in a way that I think is more cognitively demanding. Puzzle games can be more creative with their puzzles, FPS games can add elements like a compass and ping systems, RPGs have these amazingly well written and told stories.

Games these days definitely have the same sense of challenge (if not more, looking at you Soulslikes), even if losing still gets you a loot box.

There was an interesting study done on children that talks about rewarding them for activities they like [1], and how it makes them start to dislike them which. It’s old (1973) but I’ve noticed some of the fatigue myself in the MMOs I play.

This, 100%. It took me an hour the first time I configured neovim and another hour when everything broke during the v0.8 update but the ability to navigate multiple files without touching my mouse make it worth the effort. I still have to use Visual Studio for {dayjob} but the Vim binding plugin makes it (almost) tolerable.

The icing on the cake is when I need to SSH into a server to debug some PHP or JS on a testing server. I know I can always open Vim for a slightly degraded (compared to my Neovim setup) but overall solid editor at any time.
There's a very significant feedback system at play here that will eventually result in a mass die off of humans, and a near halt of the human produced greenhouse gas emissions. Around that time, the regions near the poles will be as green as ever.

I don't think it's possible for the humans to completely destroy the ecosystem. It would require a runaway event that would have to make nearly 100% of the world inhospitable, probably requiring a bit of war mixed in.

If you're talking "we" as you and me, then I agree. If it's "we" as humans, it's a hard disagree. I don't think the science is there.

You are either the Gray Man or you live in a cabin in the woods... or you're not quite as clever at disconnecting as you might think. If you use technology in 2022, it's reporting on you. It is that simple. And everyone, despite their best efforts, uses some technology.

These were contrived examples to highlight all the different mundane items in our daily lives that track and report on our behavior, habits, data, etc. Most of these we do not even consider as hostile devices or services... yet they are. In your example you buy DVD's... where did you get them? How did you pay for them? You were tracked and reported despite trying to be clever.

This isn't strictly about cognitive performance, but Diablo II taught me more about negotiation than anything I ever learned in school. You could also probably make the argument that it's one of the most stark examples of how diverse teams are more resilient to adversity.
The situation is of course more complicated than that.

The grid is like a big Tetris board, and nuclear power plants are big multi-prong pieces: they can be good to cover a large surface, but sometimes, they block situations were a better configuration (which is at the end cleaner) is possible.

For example, the evolution of the grid may make a specific nuclear power plant not totally needed (because this region can now get cheap import, because the heavy industries in this area have changed, ...) while still expensive to maintain. In this case, shutting it down is a good idea.
Another example, if you say "yeah, maybe we will built a nuclear power plant there, maybe, who knows", the risk of investing in a renewable power plant that would replace a dirty power plant may be not attractive to investors, and the dirty power plant will continue for years. But if you say you will exit the nuclear, then the renewable power plant is suddenly very attractive and the dirty power plant can, at the end of the process, be replaced.
Another example, the grid needs a balance between production and demand, but demand is not flat during the day, there are peaks. Nuclear power plants, especially the not recent ones, may not efficiently produce non-flat production. In this case, the grid can evolve in a situation where too much "flat production" exists, and where a "flat production" power plant is the one that is not competitive anymore due to the maintenance costs.

I honestly laughed at this. This is like limiting movie time to 5 minutes per day.

The way we do it in our house... the kids have an hour of tablet time doing whatever they want. Games, tv shows, movies, whatever. When the hour is up, its up.

Beyond that, we do have a nintendo switch, but that's for family video game time. I don't mind the singular switch/tv we have as much as the tablets, because since we have only 1 it requires 3 kids 7 & under to negotiate with eachother. But if you only have 1 kid that can change the game.

Someday I do plan to get them all desktop PCs. I have friends with similarly aged kids and they have family Minecraft and Valheim servers. Sounds like a lot of fun to me. My nephew recently went to college and he keeps in touch with his high school friends in part via a minecraft server he runs.
Try a bunch of shit until it works is how you beat video games. Sometimes distressingly similar to what I do at work.
Neovim has improved a lot in the last couple of years. When I initially switched to native lsp it was a giant confusing mess. There was a lot of wading through GitHub issues trying to pull enough info together. Eventually my understanding of all of the underlying machinery got to a reasonable place (and as a result I have much better control over how I set everything up), but it was a battle. Things are slicker now though.
Is there a good ToS/EULA diff site? It would be nice to see how and when these things change across many services.
I learned one of the most valuable lessons of my life from RuneScape. My brother and I, playing for years, had amassed something like 100k gold between the two of us. We wanted more gold and were reading a guide online about to get it. The guide recommended a simple process of buying and selling coal in a kind of arbitrage trade. My brother and I were torn if we should try it, reasoning that if it were so easy to make money then everyone would do it. But, on the other hand, the guide seemed like it should work.

In the end, we just followed the guide, and it worked exactly as promised. In literally a day we 10x'd our RuneScape gold to well over a million and had basically unlimited funds from running the coal trading arbitrage the guide described for as long as we played the game.

It's hard for me to put this lesson into words exactly - but it's something like if something seems like it should work explore it and find out if it does. But also something like "Don't discount something for being too obvious." This has helped me in my career where it seemed like there were obvious opportunities for something that were in front of me so I just did the obvious thing and wound up getting richly rewarded for it. This kind of idea was on my mind in most of major life decisions too.
