Thanks for the responses. I will try to reach out via my local library to find some people. However, surprised to see there is no fancy social app for that purpose since local community members might not necessarily share your book prefs, so an app to match people that share similar reading interest would be a plus.
Please list any statistic to support your previous assertion that "America ... is crawling with predators"

Perhaps you were trying to make a sarcastic point that people are reacting to a mistaken belief, which seems inline with some of what you just said. If that was the case, you didn't succeed, which is why I made the comment I did.

And I've no idea why you're trying to invoke "far right" except as some weird shoehorned ad hominem. For reference I'm a libertarian that has recently come around to voting conservative (which in 2022 means Democrat), because I would rather suffer bureaucratic totalitarianism than autocratic totalitarianism.
I have been saying the Russians were going to win since day 1 since I've followed their weapons development and capabilities deployed in Libya and Syria. I read pro-Russian telegram channels, but I read the mainstream western news too and in any situation where the two disagreed, the pro-Russian channels were later vindicated most of the time.

The west is absolutely slaughtering Russia when it comes to the propaganda war 100%. When it comes to the war of kinetic violence, Russia seems to be winning. The funny thing about the western perception of the war is that they believe you can win any war with only propaganda. That, and it's like 80% of the war. The Russians perception is that violence in 80% of war and propaganda is 20%.

My financial interest is in keeping Russia a slave state to the petrodollar which involves us winning. It would be very bad for my investments if we could no longer export inflation or trash other countries economies when we raise our rates. The petrodollar has been good to me, but this time I think they really got in over their heads and done fucked up. I will be amazed and mystified if they somehow pull a rabbit out of their hat here and win the war. I guess I should keep it down because there are children here who might be demoralized with this kind of talk, but I always viewed HN as an adult corner of the internet where we don't have to be so discrete. ;)

That you think I'm some sort of paid Russian troll is totally hilarious honestly. How many years of "Trump is a Russian asset" did we have and absolutely nothing came out of all of the innuendos and leaks and all that stuff. The left in America is the new full-on Doctor Strange love paranoid war party these days.

Oh hey, not my prediction, but I heard someone say John Bolton might win 2024 because America will be so backed into a corner by the losses in Ukraine that we'll be whipped up in a frenzy to reconquer the world.
Just look at age bar charts and you’ll see this isn’t accurate for developed countries…

>The internet desensitized me to text and video. Anything that happens in front of a screen doesn't help with perspective anymore. But I discovered that getting away from the screen and handling physical items does.

A little late on this one, but I've been recapping and fixing an old SE/30 I've had since '98, and it's been rewarding to do. I've also connected with old friends while doing it. Doing things in meatspace that are tied to computing has been really fun and running System 7.5.5 on an SE/30 also reminds me of how far things have progressed from back then while still some things seem timeless. It used to run NetBSD and run as a server ages ago.

I also collect Roman and Ancient Greek coins (there are cheap ones), have a Roman emperor list filled out, and have a lot of lovely Greek art I've picked up over the decades. I just started a new Byzantium & the Middle Ages building out an eastern Roman emperor list. Holding each coin and learning about the era depicted and the people of that time is fascinating for me. Won't save you from burnout over tech, but it's always good to have hobbies that keep your spirits up.
I think a good place to start is through the service design lens — “This is Service Design Thinking/Doing,” Jon Kolko’s books, and IDEO’s handbook (all available on Amazon). These are all practical, business-oriented works, and will give you the language and tools you need to interact with service designers or conduct your own explorations.

In the tech side, I still think there’s a lot of value in reading through Booch and friends, even if you don’t go on to use UML in a formal way, and even old, deprecated approaches to modeling (think Shlaer-Mellor) can be valuable as an introduction to more modern (and generally more complicated) approaches to domain modeling.

For more academic and less practical works, look into philosophers of language and communication (Rorty, Habermas, Latour, etc) — if you don’t have a background there, try the “Very Short Introduction” series, which gives a good grounding before moving into further secondary or primary literature. What you get from these writers is a way to think about language, communications, and complex systems, so you’re building a conceptual toolkit. (Analytic philosophy, which is another, “mainstream” branch of philosophy, also has applications in the formal comp-sci route.)

Sociology and STS (Science and Technology Studies) kind of occupies a practical middle-ground between philosophy and design; I’ve often said that when we do service design, we’re really just doing folk sociology. There’s no shortage of textbooks, but I’d recommend looking into academic field guides for ethnographic studies (a fancy term for “going out and talking to people about what they do”) and ethnomethodological studies (a fancy term for “going out and talking to people about what they believe”). While the service design books will give you practical tools for conducting workshops and research programs, sociology books will give you a firm grounding on why those tools are used, and how to theorize effectively on what you uncover. I also like measurement theory, which is a branch of psychology concerned with understanding how to define measures and metrics — great tools for clearly defining data and reporting.

Finally, in addition to all this, consider digging into a corporate finance text or two; the three legs of the stool are product and service design; technical and operational architecture; and finance and sales. If you can read your company’s balance sheet and cash flow statements, you’ll be in a much better position to understand where you need to target investments, what the likely return on investment will be, and how much cash (or debt) is available to make things happen. Start building up a good knowledge base in all those areas, and you’ll have the tools necessary to know the “where, how, and why” to apply the “what” of technology to your organization’s problems.

Congrats on moving out. I'd say the need for electrical skills depends a lot on what you're doing and the state of your company. $BIGTECH with large EE team or embedded linux? Probably ok if you can read a schematic and nothing else. Microcontroller firmware at a small/medium company? Better bring it then. Hardware issues can show up in strange ways. I had some firmware hardfaults that seemed to be stack corruption, root cause was a completely screwed up analog circuit.
I just have template for all the boilerplate around cmdline handling for whatever I write in.
>A poll worker would then talk with the person and inform them about what mistake they made

Would this not mean that the ballot isn't entirely secret? I suppose that's the compromise being made to ensure no accidental spoilage.
I'm particularly amused by this line of "reasoning".

First, the problem does not even exist in objective reality - as the article states, employment is at an all time high.

Second, even if the proximate problem were real, the causality must be attributed to the economic system we actually have, not to a theoretical socialist strawman.

These statements project an inner world of ideological fantasy that bear no resemblance to facts. A better take, more grounded in reality, might be "American-style capitalism is working exactly as intended".

> Not being able to display graphics and images at full fidelity is a form of information loss and most engineers shouldn't be okay with that.

Ultimately, I think it depends pretty highly on the definition of “okay” (as far as the web is concerned, we’ve historically always been okay with many levels of compromise), but I don’t think I’m off the mark in suggesting that the in the hierarchy of concerns of the typical web developer (whatever that may be), P3 color simply isn’t ranked very highly. So “doesn’t care” probably isn’t an entirely accurate way of painting it, but like I said…it’s an over-simplified explanation.

Personally, I like to think that I’m pretty aesthetically inclined compared to a lot of my peers, but this is actually the first I’ve even heard of Safari supporting it!
What are your thoughts on Alligator Mix?
Crypto is a complex solution looking for a problem.

It's kind of funny how it's marketed as a secure alternative to banks. Like; banks were the more secure alternative to hiding your money inside the mattress. Crypto almost feels like a worse version of hiding bank notes.
Part of it is capitalizing on FOMO - if you can see some of the sports your relevant friend/family circle follows, and you wish to keep up with all of it, you're more likely to purchase the additional subscriptions necessary to do so.

Also, remember that a huge percentage of "OTA" viewership is from a non-OTA source, which today requires payment of fees to station affiliates (some of which are owned and operated by the networks, and all of which have agreements to pay a portion of those fees to the networks, even when independently owned). So the networks are making money from "OTA" besides the advertising. Thus, they do have an incentive to want people watching OTA, but they also want the additional money they can get from subscription services. I don't think I'd class OTA as a "loss leader", even if it does sometimes serve some of the same purposes as actually providing a service as a loss leader would.

True, but irrelevant. That has nothing to do with new regulation not requiring airplane mode.

You edited your comment, so I guess I will too: Rust doesn't actually have Linear types. Linear types ("must use or compile error") would be tricky to provide, Aria blogged about it back in the day. So that's definitely going to be a problem with your refactoring.

What they've identified is that the amount of profit a landlord who owns a house outright can extract from their tenants "feels" too high. Even if they can't explain the reasons, intuitively they feel there is some kind of injustice occurring.

There is, because land owners are monopolists that can extract economic rents (extra-high profits due to monopoly ownership) far beyond the ordinary rate of return in a fair and free market of capital goods.

This is primarily because land (or more specifically, location) is a monopoly good, not a capital good that can be created if demand increases.

The extreme end of this reality is feudalism, which most countries in the world decided against for one reason or another. Your young relatives are intuitively sensing that they feel like serfs in feudalism, and there's an increasing truth to that.

Land value tax would solve this.
So far they haven't. Meanwhile, millions of people with older devices cannot use them to access wikipedia.

re: Edit.

I've noticed similar behavior in HN voting. Down vote spikes but few if any comments in-line with the voting. Not sure if it's bots, human-based click farms, or too just don't understand that disagreement is not grounds for down voting.

Perhaps a bit of all three?
When I rewrite python code in C, I often hit 1000x speedups, and sub-100x is rare. And that's line-for-line. When I fix an accidentally-quadratic issue, for example, I've seen speedups in the billions without even changing the language.

People have lionized Knuth's quote about premature optimization, and used that to ignore performance issues across the board. Since the early '00s, we have not seen a 500x improvement in CPU speed. It's less than 2x on frequency, and let's say 8x on core-count for most users (which doesn't help your single-core lazy programmer). In my experience, programmers will make projections based on a 500x-faster processors that will never arrive, because it's easier than honing their skills and keeping them sharp. And even if these magical THz-frequency chips arrive, if you have three layers of 10x slowdowns, you're back down to GHz.

If they really wanted to act nasty and annoy germophobes, they could just use the bathroom and conspicuously not wash their hands--no pandemic required.

The author touches on media companies having a perverse set of incentives. This seems to me as a space ripe for disruption, that the dinosaurs have failed to capitalize on. Newspapers are dying a slow death, and that's very dangerous for democracy.

For example, r/askscience offers a solution through moderation. Have a panel of known experts who review, comment and possibly even veto all topics of the day. Journalists rarely are experts, so pair them with consultants who have been vetted by the company. Today, the counterpoints to bullshit are at best buried inside the article in the form of a quote, and that's not strong enough to offset a false headline.

While I’m sure this is a real problem, I’ve been on the other side of this equation where you’ve tried your level best to get a problem resolved, and not only haven’t had it resolved, but have been repeatedly screwed even more.

For example, many years ago, I signed up for a landline phone (when that’s all there was), and signed up for a particular special service that Ameritech was offering that would allow me to have a computer on a modem running 24/7 without getting unreasonable charges. Eventually, I get the first bill and it’s charging me the regular rate. I sigh and call them. They agree it’s their mistake and they’ll fix it to remove the charge and it will be reflected in the next bill. It isn’t. I go around in circles for 6 months, with my bill increasing to thousands of dollars. Finally I call them up and just start screaming at someone, and that is what finally got it fixed.

I’m not proud to have done that, but sometimes it’s the only option. The person I was yelling at wasn’t the one who caused the problem or lied to me, but I didn’t know of any other options at the time. (I was raised by wolves, it turns out.) And, ultimately, it worked.
Indeed, but the compiler is still capable of doing it on a case-by-case basis. Quite often the observed semantics are identical and it's easy for the backend to see that a pointer has been created only to be immediately dereferenced.
A big chunk of that 15,000 are professionals engaged in research activities (mostly funded by grants and other external funds) e.g. the 1600 folks involved in running the Stanford Linear Accelerator, and activities like fundraising and finances. They mostly are NOT folks 'administering' the faculty in any way. So the comparison with your kid's school is not meaningful. Not to say there are perhaps more administrators than might be ideal. But these numbers aren't helpful in understanding whether that's true.

Also, it's worth noting that Stanford is in fact free for folks under the median household income in the U.S. (roughly speaking) which seems pretty 'affordable'.
Of course the economics of one of these large-endowment, research intensive institutions is pretty much unrelated to their teaching function. But that just highlights the weakness of using gross, whole-institution numbers of people/dollars for any sort of comparison. Big universities serve lots of ends (not just teaching undergrads) and so the teasing apart the economic picture (and whether it's efficient at meeting it's many goals) is complicated.
Cool list!
