> I can’t identify one monolithic hyper-normative “correct” credo in mass media. In my lifetime I have seen the variety of speech (US based tho I understand it is a global change) conveyed thru mass media explode in variety

I can't see how anyone can say this seriously. In our urban college-educated tech circles, your speech is heavily censored.

Joe Rogan runs the most popular podcast among young American men, and I haven't been in a single room over the last 5 years where I could openly profess to listening to him in an unqualified manner. Similarly, I haven't heard a single person say "I think ex-social justice darlings and the most successful comedian (Chapelle) and author (JK Rowling) are misunderstood".

In my 6 years as relatively extroverted person in the US, I have yet to run into a single Republican my age. That's half of all voters in this country. I had to jump around and obfuscate using vague language to even suggest that the books of Kendi/DiAngelo might have some criticisms. There are at least 10 more opinions which I think are 'duh' obvious and I won't dare say them on an account which can be traced to my identity.

In 2022, everyone lives in bubbles and those bubbles enforce a "monolithic hyper-normative 'correct' credo" onto everyone in that circle. I can only point to the ones I see in mine. The big change is that these circles are now all encompassing. The same wealthy-urban-highly-educated circle encompasses my work, friendships and dating life.

> There might be, in the US, less people willing to listen to the racist, sexist, and homophobic views that were so popular in the past without protest, but that response is because that is speech directed against people, not for an idea.

IMO, under the guise of 'good intentions' a lot of privileged Americans are happy to discard anyone who does not perfectly fit into their definition of 'ally'. It is a self-fulfilling prophecy too, because once you're accused, you are deemed guilty and immediately discarded. These outcasts then go to the only place that will professionally and socially them, and that usually tends to be the other similarly demanding circle of MAGA Republicans.

The idea that everyone's opinions are expected to naturally move in lock step with 2022 activists college students opinions is hilarious. The fact that this isn't obvious to some people deep in these circles is a scathing indictment and proof of how isolating these bubbles can be.

p.s: I am criticizing one type of 'imposing monolith' because it is the one I most often see myself surrounded by. I am sure there is a similar story of 'other groups monolith', but I don't have much visibility into that life.
Not sure about cool or interesting, but there are boring but important (to some) use cases, like

- Self custody of wealth, without having to deal with gold

- Payments that don't rely on a middleman like PayPal, Wise, etc, who are known for regularly blocking legal transactions, and sometimes stealing the funds

- Commerce with real privacy (Zcash, Aleo, Aztec, etc)

- DNS without the censorship or rent-seeking

I'd say most of us in the blockchain space are focusing on making those use cases cheap, secure, frictionless and so forth, rather than trying to come up with cool/interesting applications.

Well, I think a change in perspective might help. Namely, you do not find your purpose because it's not lost. You create or choose your purpose. A purpose is not necessarily inherent, or given to you by the Universe. On a related note, work hard to understand that point enough to stop feeling bad about not having one. We evolved to want a purpose or goals for fitness purposes, but there's no rule coming from the Universe that says you're supposed to have one. That can be liberating to realize. On the other hand, you do have built in constraints as a human. So, when creating a purpose, I think it's useful to start with Maslow's hierarchy. Do you have the base levels covered. What about the one's above that? Etc. If not, then I think you should mainly make your purpose getting those needs filled before expanding. If you're lucky enough to live in the USA, or another such country, and you get a reasonably good education, then you probably already have basic needs taken care of. Part of your purpose, then, is to maintain your basic needs. Once you're good there, I would focus on researching well being and happiness. Make your main purpose exploring which of those things works for you. Purpose itself is one of those things, so this is self-referential, but there are many other things. Pay attention to your unique combination of traits and strengths. Which of those will give you the best chance of making an impact in your own life and in the world. Can you make any of those your purpose? Keep exploring. Importantly, I think mindfulness training will help give you a way to enjoy or be at peace moment to moment, so explore that too.

> > The primary goal of A/B testing is to see what's more profitable.

Well, I think I'll provide a disagreeing opinion. :)

I assume this opinion probably comes from your past experiences, and I believe it is true in many cases. Since I'm not American and have never worked in an American corporate environment, I can't say what is true over there... but my experience in EU and Canada with A/A/B, A/B/C and typical A/B testing (as well as building such testing tools for others) was not like that.

For example, when building tutorials for users, profitability is far from being the primary objective. Same goes for building documentation, programming languages, open-source software, internal tooling and other such things.

Of course, I get that in the end, profitability is the primary goal of the company (with some exceptions). But I maintain that not all A/B tests have profitability as their primary goal, which makes the previous statement an incorrect generalization IMO.
Do CardDAV and CalDAV work natively yet?
In broad strokes:

It's already made plain how to live, what to do, what the most high is looking for in men and women.

It’s quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor, be compassionate and loyal in your love, And don’t take yourself too seriously.

But don't get too in your head about comparing your work to others:

I want you to think about how all this makes you more significant, not less. A body isn’t just a single part blown up into something huge. It’s all the different-but-similar parts arranged and functioning together. If Foot said, “I’m not elegant like Hand, embellished with rings; I guess I don’t belong to this body,” would that make it so? If Ear said, “I’m not beautiful like Eye, transparent and expressive; I don’t deserve a place on the head,” would you want to remove it from the body? If the body was all eye, how could it hear? If all ear, how could it smell?

Try to build, not tear down. And whatever gets in the way of the work, is the work.
The Great Financial Crisis, e.g. 2008, housing bubble etc
The "purpose" question is easier when someone is trying to kill you - your purpose is to survive. If you zoom out in time and space, considering the Fermi paradox, humanity is in a "default dead" state. This would be true even if climate change, nuclear war, etc was off the table. This implies that humanities purpose is to survive, against all odds.

So, if someone is trying to kill you, survive. If they aren't (and I hope that is the case!), try to find ways to help humanity survive in a universe that, if nothing is done, will kill all of us and our descendants sooner rather than later.

Now, assuming that we figure it out, and spread life beyond Earth in a sustainable way (which includes making Earth life sustainable), our descendants can address the question of purpose more fully. But until then, our only reasonable purpose is to give them the chance to ask.

My understanding is that Binance can step in as a potential savior because Binance is safe themselves and the company doesn't fear a liquidity crisis themselves. But, their whole premise of consumer confidence is based off of SAFU[1] which seems to hold quite a bit of their own BNB coin[2].

Some people can't do anything unless they're part of a tribe.

I'd reckon a lot of sports 'fanatics' don't even like the sport that much, or at least not as much as the crowd they're hanging with, or the 'tribe'.

It's the same for apple fan boys - android is just as good (sometimes better), political fanboys who worship Trump, and ignore the bad. I mean if someone I 'like' verses 'adore' does something shitty - I tend to reverse course on my opinion.

I used to be a big fan of Musk, especially with regards to spacex, but the man's personality has soured me.

People who need to be in a tribe - have a need to have someone tell them how to act/behave I think they may have some psychological trauma that draws them to that, it's the only thing that explains it.

Personally I ask myself often if I'm doing something because I really like it, because it's expected, or others are doing it. I find I then try and do what's not popular especially if it's a better choice anyways. Dead Poet's society is a favorite movie of mine, and the part where they learn about the dangers of conformity always stuck with me, and has become a core value.

I'm not asking for the assert to be disabled. I'm asking for debugging features to be disabled. (NDEBUG == "no debug.") The debugging feature of an assert statement is that it performs work to check if the assertion is true and provides diagnostics if not. Disabling the debugging feature of an assert would, in my mind, make it purely an assertion -- an assumption that the compiler can count on (since this is true by design and demonstrated during debugging). Which is to say, it becomes undefined (contrary to compiler assumptions) if the condition is false.

Another way of thinking of this: With NDEBUG undefined, the sequence `assert(condition); if(!condition) action();` is perfectly reasonable and equivalent to the naked assert. But, because assert(false) is defined, defining NDEBUG changes the semantics of the code, with the two examples having identical behavior when NDEBUG is unset, and different behavior when NDEBUG is set. This is contrary to my understanding of the intent of NDEBUG, to suppress debugging information without changing semantics.

A third view: With NDEBUG undefined (which is normal for test and development), /I have no way of testing what happens past an assert(false)/. If I then define NDEBUG for a release build, I'm by definition exposing my user to untested code. The compiler might (with a defined assert(false)) define the behavior of this new code, /but I cannot, since I can't test it./ It just makes more sense to acknowledge that anything past an event horizon is undefinable, and call it undefined.

You can trade on the XRPL DEX[1] (The oldest DEX) essentially for free* since it went online. The DEX works like a central limit order book which limits the way you can trade. There are also liquidity problems for many currency pairs as well as counter-party risk if you trade/hold IOUs with a counterpart like for example Gatehub USD stable coins (Counter-party here would be Gatehub so if they go bust Gatehub USD is likely going to be stable at zero).

Sure. The FPU is optional on a Cortex M2, for instance. But those don't have MMUs. You'd certainly need an expensive architectural license to make something with an MMU but no FPU if you wanted to and given all the requirements ARM normally imposes for software compatibility[1] between cores I'd tend to doubt that they'd let you make something like that.

[1] Explicitly testing that you don't implement total store ordering by default is one requirement I've heard people talk about to get a custom core licensed.
> With that reasoning, all code is declarative because it's "declaring to the interpreter/compiler" how to operate.

Sort of! All code is also imperative, eventually, at the machine code level. This is a perfect example of how useless the whole "imperative vs declarative" distinction is. Nearly everything in a computer is both imperative and declarative, in some fashion, at some point.

These terms were not made to be some concrete and inviolable paradigm of computing. Some academics just wanted to tell people to write programs where you didn't have to spell out every instruction to the compiler, so they made this crude distinction. Things like a function called give_me_a_temporary_file(), rather than writing out an entire function yourself to create and return a temporary file. But both are executing steps imperatively under the hood. So we shouldn't make a big deal about these terms or programs that do more of one or the other.

The differences that I'm pointing out are 1) declarative does not describe a flow, the flow is under the hood; and 2) configuration files do not actually perform steps, they merely describe arbitrary data, and only the program interpreting the configuration can determine if the result is imperative or declarative. For some programs, the exact same configuration file may result in either imperative or declarative execution.
You can measure the time between two key actions that operate as a proxy for task completion.
