> In America there is a concept of "zero tolerance" that keeps the bullied compliant and the bullies in charge. It was not until I started to get very violent that the bullying stopped.

Exactly my experience as well. Fighting back is the only thing that ever made the bullying stop. I fought back once in the locker room against a boy two years and two feet older and taller than me, basically lost the fight immediately, but because I fought and wouldn't submit, everybody else stopped the fight and after that day I was never bullied in school again.

The reason I never fought back sooner is because I was scared of the rules even more than the bullies. The "Zero tolerance" rules made clear that if I fought back I would be just as bad as the bullies, and in just as much trouble (except I'd actually be in more trouble, because my parents would be livid at me for getting suspended while the bullies' parents wouldn't give a shit.) "Zero tolerance" means zero due process. It's the school administrators essentially siding with bullies by default because it makes the paperwork easier. Absolutely immoral. It should be their responsibility to figure out who actually started the fight and punish the perpetrator but not the victim.

In the end I didn't get in trouble after all, because locker room fights were beyond the eyes of adults and nobody ratted anybody out. I resent the teachers and the administration the most, for making me afraid to stick up for myself. The kids who bullied me were psychos or broken people, and I find it easy to forgive them. But the administration did harm to me by being lazy bureaucrats.

Attaching glowing review and positive outcome to a violent action in childhood is dangerous (though it did serve you, yes). The reason is obvious: it can lead to being drawn to situations likely to lead to the same result and praise.

IMO there's too much baggage behind this term. It may be better to recommend „Eudaimonia“ itself and skip „Positive Psychology“.

Although I'm not sure about „Eudaimonia„“ part itself too. IMO many people in that field focuses on „positivity“ too much. While I prefer more balanced approach. IMO there's no happiness if you don't feel pain. Otherwise it's too easy to get sucked into looking for more and more bigger and bigger happiness triggers.

>> Bullies aren't beat enough at home

This I have to disagree with. Some of them I believe have a terrible home life and are handing down the abuse to whomever is a weak target.

You may be right in other cases though, and that had never occurred to me. Lack of respect and self control may stem from neglect or lack of parenting rather than abuse.

Non-story? Photography is by default understood to be creative work, the very first thing people do is replace entire sky with computer generated imagery if it doesn't look interesting enough. There are certainly situations where authentic reproduction is important - law, journalism, documentary, medicine. And if she used someone else's photos without credit/permission, that's a problem. But that family portrait or pack of wolves shot over your mantelpiece? Edited! If you really want to look at your pimples or nearby hiker's behind every day, negotiate that with the photographer. But most people want art, not a police mugshot in these situations.

I am not saying there is nothing there, just that malice is not proven and someone has wasted a lot of time refuting what has not been explicitly claimed. I would buy a print if I like, the price was right and especially if money went to a good cause.

Thanks so much for posting this! I went through a similar journey about a year ago. I was told I had been able to work around my executive dysfunction until I had kids. But even “working around” it, ADHD was holding me back. A manager at one point described me as being “stuck in second gear”. I may not be in fifth yet, but I’m definitely moving faster.

When I was coming up, especially in middle school, we were always told that you should just ignore bullies and they would go away. This, of course, never actually worked. And anyone who did fight back against their bullies were punished just as severely, if not moreso if they swung first, as the bully. This entire approach was complete BS and only served to enable bullies because they now know that their victims either won't fight back or, if they do, the victim will receive most of the consequence.

With the benefit of hindsight, I think its vitally important that all children learn some form of self-defense (boxing, karate, BJJ, it doesn't matter). I only realized this way later in life when I started training in Muay Thai and found I had way more confidence standing up to other men, both because I knew how to handle myself and because I wasn't as afraid of getting punched in the face. Bullies only go away if you make them go away. Fighting back is the only real solution victims have in the absence of adult supervision (which is often the situation). You may be punished, but the sense of catharsis more than makes up for that.
This is much worse than I had imagined. Thank you for correcting me.
Ever heard of Executive Dysfunction? It's when your brain says "turn off that lightswitch", and the part of your brain responsible for implementing the commands can't find the lightswitch.

It's very real, and it's a royal pain in the ass. It's also an exceptionally common issue for those with ADHD. And yes, meds help with it.
Because pizza is so cheap, you can undercut on price by not using Uber Eats. With other foods, they can't be delivered more cheaply than the Uber Eats price, so the only option for consumers is to pay the 30% markup + tip or not eat at all.
Yes you are locked inside a burning building with no way out and no one else will acknowledge the building is burning down.

There’s a moat, but not a big one: Smaller restaurants aren’t going to have the appetite to integrate with many different delivery services. If (big if) you can get a critical mass of those, then you can sell that service to chains that would otherwise do their own delivery.

This is why I am going to emphasize to my son that if someone begins to bully him, the sooner he corrects the bully's assessment of him the sooner it will likely stop. This may include violence (with many caveats) if necessary, as frankly, it's the only language they often understand and respect. I am not happy that this is the case, but this behavior appears to be a universal part of the human condition. Based on my experience, adult intervention or even supervision cannot be counted on, so it will be something that eventually he will need to learn to handle himself.

Bullying in it's most common and less extreme forms appears to be a way of reinforcing group conformity and norms, as it's often directed at those who are different in appearance or behavior. By calling attention to this with name calling or teasing, they publicly demonstrate their own in-group status and as a side-effect also pressure the target to conform to group expectations. Over time, this can be just as insidious and damaging even though violence may not be always involved.

In the most pathological form, you have a person that has a lot of internal uncertainty around their own position in the social hierarchy (which actually may be quite high already and part of what makes this pathological) for which bullying is a way to assert their dominance over another. These are the bullies that we all know and which seem to fixate on a particular target or group, and are the type I alluded to in my opening paragraph. They are not necessarily spoiling for a fight (that is something else entirely and distinguishing the two can be difficult) but rather have identified their target as being someone weak or low status enough that they will not fight back nor will anyone rise to defend them. However, if the target does fight back and even if they lose, if this happens consistently then that is often enough to update the calculation on their end about whether the benefits outweigh the costs (after all, they could eventually lose the fight or at least it could be close enough that they don't win convincingly which is almost as bad) and their attention will shift elsewhere.

There is also a greater likelihood that others may stand up for you if you stand up for yourself. It is another tendency of human psychology that I have observed that those who do nothing and essentially "take it" are viewed with contempt even if those observers also disapprove of the bullying. There seems to be some general undercurrent of disgust with perceived weakness, but this is perhaps rooted in some sense that the risk of intervention is less likely to be reciprocated. After all, if the victim doesn't appear willing or able to do this for themselves, why would they be expected to do so for someone else?
This is the same vibe as people telling me I don't need ADD/anxiety meds, I just need to toughen up and try harder.

If moderation and self-discipline work for you, that's great. They demonstrably aren't working for millions of people. If medicine can help fix this, there's no reason it shouldn't.

Rust, Python, Javascript gives you a broad spectrum of experience and you can probably adapt most of that to 90% of the other languages you'll probably run into.

If I had to pick one of the three, it would absolutely be Python for ubiquity. I believe the thing that makes someone confident and capable in a language is writing a lot of code, and Python makes it really easy to explore a broad range of problems-domains which means you can follow whatever interests or whims you have which will hopefully encourage you to write more code.
I'll add Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt. It provides an introduction to economics from an Austrian point of view, and dispells many common economic fallacies. A big takeaway for me is that the consequences of policies, such as providing loans to certain groups of farmers, have consequences that we cannot forsee.

There are many studies that have shown higher levels of intelligence (ie, IQ or some other measurement if intellect) tends to be correlated with higher levels of self-reported “unhappiness,” due to a variety of covariates (eg, higher level of introspection, neuroticism, etc). Which is why looking at something like EQ is important.
There aren’t really great measurements of these things but the mental model is what’s most useful imo—especially the notion that we need to develop intelligence of many types to lead a “happy” well-rounded life. If only it was as simple as a “culture” or IQ problem.

As a sidebar: I rarely understand the purpose of these types of blog posts. Perhaps they’re a manifestation of the SV/VC/PG culture to push out content and “get your voice heard,” which has merit but the amount of work required to provided a well rounded, incisive and pithy blog (eg, old PG blogs) is rarely done.
There was a period of time in my life where we at home simply did not have the time or energy to cook or drive to pick up food at all, so we were big users of GrubHub. We knew we were spending (i.e., wasting) a ton of money on it, but considering all of the alternatives, it was still the right thing to do. We knew the premium we were paying, and luckily for us as time passed we started having more time again to cook and were able to resume both cooking more at home and also simply driving to pick up food.

I know what you mean, when they stand on you wrong it's surprisingly heavy. But it's point loaded. A dog doesn't do that while walking around on even-ish ground. The point is it would take unusual scenarios for a dog to get 100% of their weight on one foot, but any toddler does it every step.

I would think this works both ways though. Yes, smaller surface area is bad, but also reduces the chance the dog presses down on a trigger. But then again... they have four feet, but then they a narrower track, but then they probably take more steps. It's complicated I suppose!
I agree. Already I hate the children who scream, but anyway people are already talking and also the engine noise is very annoying. In the end I like the ability to use internet, not talk, strictly with ANC headphones.

It most definitely wouldn't. After just a couple of days/a week, the negative effects would be noticeable, at least if we're talking about recreational dosage every day.

Long-term prescribed medicine doesn't have nearly the same effect as stimulants people use recreationally, although you could for sure use prescribed medicine above the prescription dosage and end up with stronger effects.
Not sure about Asia, but in Europe bullying is as common as in US.
This is a reminder to always figure out the game in an organization and play that game. Don't blindly assume that if you do a good job, you will be safe. You might not like politics, but politics is, unfortunately, a natural part of any organization.
> It restricts the number of workers that are able to work in the U.S., and forces companies to jump through hoops to hire them.

Restricting workers would be denying them entry into the country to work in the first place. And forcing companies to jump through hoops simply means instead of lower paying employers taking advantage of the visa, higher paying employers take advantage. Either way, there is going to be an increase in labor supply of people willing to work for lower wages (since they cannot shop for other employers), and that negatively effects all workers.
The problem is "producing sticky, heavyweight enterprise IBM products to invoice customers with".

This retirement of the product might be more aligned with the expected time between major software replacement initiatives at typical customers than with the hype cycle of blockchains: IBM needs to sell some successor to TradeLens. Or, more simply, Maersk actually needs better software than TradeLens for themselves.
The tray interface immediately reminded me of Harmonix's Dropmix.[1] A Dropmix-alike where you can program your own "cards" to store and play, or even just trigger, short loops on a playback device would be incredible.

Adventure card games,[2][3] which blend tabletop RPG and card game mechanics to play through a story and often rely on mutable and custom third-party or player-created cards, are another niche that could rock programmable cards. They don't rely on collectability or random card packs - everything to play comes in a base set, and expansions take the forms of additional classes or adventures. But they can be tedious to set up, card mutability means marking and smudging cards or sleeving them, and using third-party or player-made cards usually requires getting them printed to fit into the deck seamlessly - programmable cards can dodge all of those issues.

No, you can use it in any app including "normal" Win32 apps. I've done it, it works. You can think of it as a plain upgrade over Win32.

The reason you think that is that once, it was indeed the API of UWP apps and those had various constraints as Microsoft tried to Apple-ify the platform. But they gave up on that a long time ago and got far more relaxed. Now you can mix and match old/new tech. You can ship Win32 apps in the app store, Win32 apps using MSIX, WinRT code using custom installers etc (the "sideloading" toggle switch went away a while ago for up to date Windows 10 machines, it still exists in Windows Server which is a fork of an ancient Win10 branch).

Caveat: some WinRT APIs want you to have "package identity", which (I think??) requires MSIX. This is not different to macOS though, where some APIs require you to have a bundle ID and be code signed. The OS wants to be able to have some stable identifier for an "app" which is allowed to change arbitrarily between versions. On macOS that identity is plumbed through Apple's in-house certificate authority through to a CMS signed CodeDirectory structure in the MachO headers. On Windows it's in some ways a bit simpler, in other ways, more complex - it comes from a combination of your code signing certificate and your package ID. There is an API and cmdlet for granting an app package identity without it being installed via MSIX but for some reason it's limited to developer mode. My guess is that MS will give up on that at some point and let old-style Win32 installers grant package identity too. The MS approach is there for a reason though, because the files installed via MSIX are "tamper-proofed" which prevents other apps from overwriting them. So, establishing the identity of an app installed this way is extremely fast and there's no way to hijack another app's identity by fiddling with its data files. If you look at how macOS does it, it's kind of painted itself into a performance corner by lacking this, the requirements on apps w.r.t. loading data files is very unclear, and they're still changing how they enforce code immutability even in Ventura as a consequence.
I'm sympathetic to the argument but I'm not convinced that the UTF-16 string format in those languages is much of a hurdle.

Even Python which adopted the pretty ridiculous internal UCS4 encoding is now carrying around a utf-8 pre-encoded version of strings for crossing boundaries. UTF-8 is just too widespread that many languages can avoid having to support it natively in some form.

Likewise WASM is not the first standard that has opinions about string encodings that are not native to a language. For instance Go and Rust which prefer to use UTF-8 internally have to re-encode on the way to Windows APIs (usually!). Likewise Cocoa/Objective-C traditionally use UCS-2 strings which are quite leaky, yet Swift nowadays uses UTF-8 internally and transcodes.

Right - POSIX is generally "advisory locking" rather than "mandatory locking," so an update process is free to overwrite any library.

Windows does not allow this, which is why we have Patch Tuesday outages.

In China, if I say that Xi Jinping looks like Winnie the Pooh, I can be put in jail and disappeared. Much less say something absolutely true, such as Xi Jinping being a two-bit dictator.
