In the valley you do not need a degree of any sort, but not having a degree is definitely the exception. Those people without a degree often have a long work history working for companies doing low level NOC/admin work while they leverage the coding skills they learn in their off time to become more valuable until they de-facto work as a programmer.

Here is the most important lesson you learn in college in a nutshell: You aren't as smart as you think you are and there are a a lot of things you don't know you don't know. If you're used to being the smartest person in any group of 30 people, then college can greatly humble you. College was the first time in my life where I was in a room and it was clear I was not the smartest person in it, maybe not even in the top half.

College, in my experience, helps diminish the Dunning-Kruger effect greatly.

I've interviewed a lot of people for SWE and performance greatly correlates with college. I never asked particularly hard questions and they were always very pragmatic questions, not ivory tower stuff. Many of the best staff engineers/managers I've worked with had masters degrees. It is more often than not graduates that make core systems.

The way you write shows that there is a lot you don't know you don't know and that you are considerably overconfident in yourself, particularly before you have a portfolio of externally validated useful software to backup your claims of how good you are.

Pragmatically:

A CS degree sets you up with a lot of information that would be useful for interviews (and understanding how things work) in an organized and systematic way.

Big O notation, basic data structures, basic algorithms, basic data structure manipulation with algorithms. Intuition about these things.

After basics, engineering courses take you on tours of important systems and protocols and touch on why they are the way they are not just what they are.

If I say "recursive backtracking" do you know what that means? That's a first semester topic and just about every company in the valley was doing interview questions that used it. Do you know test and set? Do you know why it is important? Do you know the three way handshake? Do you know why it is the way it is? Exponential backoff? Can you implement DFS/BFS in 5 minutes? Dijkstra's? Have you heard of dependency injection? Do you know why it's important? Entropy? Hashing? Buffer overflow? SQL Injection?

How much of this do you understand? https://github.com/alex/what-happens-when

> I love my own original interpretation of CS foundations and concepts.

You take this as a point of pride, but having a shared language and understanding allows you to communicate with and leverage other people.

I can't speak for the level of education you are around, but there exists good education that is definitely worth seeking out.

That seems to be the literal opposite of almost all public health advice - we always seem to focus on how there may be some potential negative consequence of everything and ignore the impact on quality of life (I'm mainly thinking of food and drink, but I think it extends e.g. to covid hysteria). In the end, advice just gets ignored, or forms part of a puritanical shaming system that nobody adheres to but everybody judges others based on. It would be nice if more public health institutions adopted your attitude and realized life is worth living and isn't just about living as long and boring a life as possible.

Yes. And one interesting thing about ChatGPT is that, when asked to write an essay about a topic, it defaults to the standard introduction-body-conclusion organization of a school essay assignment [1]. Since its training data must have included texts organized in many other ways, I wonder if it was tweaked to default to the school-essay format.

It's actually not just because of that and it's not as simple as "it's just because of fixed budgets". The fundamental problem just like with most places there is in fact corruption(there is a lot to talk about here actually), and a decades long misunderstanding of basic economics. I.e. until 2019, which is when I finally gave up on it, most people in leadership for decades fundamentally disagree that it's unsustainable that the budget is not balanced. I.e. the money that comes into KV's from insurance and the money that is being paid to doctors is not balanced.

First of all the fixed budget don't apply for everything, there are budgeting hierarchies. Radiology for example is not limited at all. First radiologists get paid whichever amount they want.

Second, when migrants flooded the healthcare system the following happened:

- The political leadership of Germany had a meeting with the political leadership of the healthcare system

- Due to the lack of technical competence on the side of the political leadership of the healthcare system they threw the migrants into a special accounting bucket. I think it was 4, but I don't fully remember

- The accounting bucket was chosen mainly because the custom made accounting system had been built over decade and most of the knowledge about it is either retired or dead and no political leader wants to invest in changing it, because nobody wants to be responsible if there is a problem with doctor payouts for one quarter during a migration.

- The leadership of the KVs were too scared to touch their own accounting system and as a result searched for an accounting bracket to dump migrants in.

- The only two states that were competent enough to build their own that is easy to change were Schleswig-Holstein and Bavaria.

- The migrants are outside of fixed budgets due to the special status are in, meaning that if a German retiree goes to the doctor the second time at the end of the month the doctor is not paid, but if an asylum seeker goes 10 times the doctor gets paid in full 10 ten times. It creates an imbalance in who certain doctors would like to treat.

During one of the sessions with the policymakers in Hamburg the leadership openly said that they would like it to be more like the dentist situation, where only basic care is covered and the rest is paid in private.

You have to understand that German retirement money can be as low as 40% of your last working salary, which is extremely low for most people and it's the lowest of all of western Europe. Although I imagine that after this whole evaporating European wealth for Ukraine the situation might end up looking even worse in other places of Europe.

The whole situation is completely avoided, but the political leadership has been systematically blocking attempts at solving the technical challenges. They have inherited a system that was built for a completely different demographic of Germany decades ago and have refused to reform it, because they are extremely scared that they would lose the support of the doctors that elect them.
Despite your shallow dismissal, it turns out there's an intellectually interesting reason why the name is that way:

As another perspective, your comment is the first time I read the terms "dom0" and "domU instance", and "Windows subsystem" is the only phrase in my vocabulary that uses the word "subsystem".

With that perspective, "Windows Subsystem for X" makes total sense in my mind. To me it means that Windows (as an operating system) has one (or more) Subsystems, and those subsystems are created for specific use cases, for example we have a Windows Subsystem for Linux, and another Windows Subsystem for Android, and they'll probably create more Subsystems in the future.

I'm sure it sounds wrong for people with your level of education and background, but to people like me it's actually very descriptive and straight forward.

the chap in the comments complaining that the company dominating this specific market (Google) is being MEAN to Microsoft by not helping them out by supporting their competing platform really is quite amusing

> Google historically has never supported MS in any of their initiatives. This is the same company that tried to destroy Windows Phone by repeatedly killing the YouTube app that MS made and never developed any apps for the platform. They have zero presence on the Microsoft Store, even Apple has their apps on the MS Store. I heard of them doing shady things with the Edge browser as well.

> Okay, I guess the Southwestern U. S. is screwed

No, people in the Southwest are going to be fine. California keeps bringing desalinization plants online. Desal plants can produce plenty of water for people--even your swimming pool and front lawn.

What they don't do is provide water for agriculture because the price is set by production cost.

The argibusinesses in the Central Valley are going to keep going until complete collapse--ref. Easter Island. So it goes.
I think you and the GP have summed up the problem. People who were paying for a bundle of those channels via cable, have maybe 1-2 monthly streaming services and then dip into another for a single month. Meanwhile production costs for prestige TV are going up. Spending more money to please fewer customers is rarely a good business model when marginal costs are near zero.

> You can vote for changes and hold your elected officials accountable. That's the strength of government solutions.

No, it's the weakness of government solutions. If I want to help people, I can start a private charity and go help people. If I want to government to help people, I have to get a majority of the country to vote for politicians that will make that happen--assuming there even are any.

> You and those around you come together to vote on what needs to be done, how it should be done, and who is responsible for overseeing that.

If you believe people should be helped, you can go help them. If you and a bunch of your friends all believe that, so much the better: you can get together to help more people. This is how helping is supposed to work, and how it has worked all through human history when it has actually worked at all.

If you want the government to force everybody to pay for helping people, you are imposing your value judgments on them. That's not how freedom is supposed to work. It's also lazy on your part: you say you want to help people, but instead of actually doing the work of helping--figuring out the individual needs of individuals who need help, deciding whether they deserve to be helped, and then doing what is needed to help them--you're punting it to a government bureaucracy. Which, as I have already said, won't actually do it anyway. And it's no answer to that to say that, if only people would just vote the right way, governments would magically change. That utopian vision has never worked.

> Improving it just requires us to put in the effort.

Your efforts would be much better directed at helping people yourself, than trying to use government force to do it.

Lost my father, single guy, 37 years old, I was employed not in my field of education, but it was very curious as more I was reading your story it was like I was reading mine (with some few differences)

I was in the same situation, but in the last five years I changed slowly but steadily to a positive mindset

I was rised with the idea of becoming stable financially, get a wife and 2 kids. This idea was not due of my parents but I was imbibing the 'unattended script' of the society we are living in

More I get older and more I realize that I was in an infinite rotating water sink. Nothing was really working 'as recommended' by the society. And here began the negative infinite sink effect for me

I was keeping struggling for long periods and little by little I was discovering that all people around me and literally all people around this world have their own specific troubles in life. It may sounds weired, since this fact is known by all.
But how about feeling it as a reality and understanding that really no one's life is pink.

That was a good starting point for me, then I began to take some of my spare time to think about life, I mean thinking about 'childish life concept' I was driven in from the start. Yes it is as harsh and extreme mind reaction when you are struggling. And you finish easily in the rebels side just like that

And there again I started to ask my self, is it really the solution to switch from a struggling mindset to a rebel mindset ? 'Clearly not' I was telling myself. And here I felt I found the right thinking: 'how about a balance ?'

'Balance' was the pivot point for me. And I started to climb all the way till the problem root: I was living a materialistic life, money, wife, kids, car, home, travel... Not even a second for my soul health in between!

I have just started to look to the side of religion to nourish my soul while nourishing my body and my desires with the materialistic side of life. I just discovered that having something bigger, greater and more valuable to believe in, than just to believe in few money cents, was making my life more enjoyable to live again

The other day, my mother dropped one of my favorite mugs, she was telling me how she was sorry to broke it while it's my favourite! I was feeling happiness to tell here that's nothing more than a simple cup, and I'm grateful that she didn't get hurt. I was feeling it coming from the heart.

I realize more than before that emotions, belief, money and all the stuff have their place in our life. Never to focus on one side and forget one of the others.
