I kind of feel like social media is this generation's moral panic and we need to be careful how we react as parents.

Setting overly strict rules is out of touch and old fashioned and the worst possible approach here. That's like what my parents' generation did - banning video games and DnD and rock music (I had my NiN CDs and DnD books confiscated from me and thrown in the trash in order to "save me"). It's a great way to break all trust with your kids and is lazy parenting.

We need to be realistic - denying a teenage girl a phone and/or social media is akin to making them a social pariah. They will ignore your ridiculous rules and figure out ways to do things without you ever knowing.

I feel the best approach is to aim for a strong relationship with your teenage child. Communication and trust are paramount. As a parent, you want to be in the loop on what's going on in their lives - so you can provide support and guidance, and be emotional support as they navigate this part of their lives. If your child is coming to you with their problems, then you have succeeded.

This isn't new, it's just become more important. The influence of social media in a vacuum is very strong.

Because Africans had to make a huge leap from primitive way of life to the modern one unlike Europeans or Asians which developed gradually over the last 3000 years or so. Some people might think it is a genetic gap that will never change but I think it can be done, it is just a long process of hundred years at best.

There is also the issue of many African countries being a mix of more than one nation. It causes a lot of tribalism and favouritism and corruption. Uganda is a good example of how they got over it but still, diversity is a problem when there is more than one major group which sets the tone. Some western countries are going down this path thinking it will benefit them but it just makes things worst.
Men and women are not identical; inescapably, the mean value contributed by each will material differ in at least some contexts.

If a society equally values the contributions of men and women in all contexts, then, by definition, it must be using an inequitable metric to ascribe value to their contributions.
we may be ok for the next ~50 years (but i have my doubts, and i really don't think we will ever get much out of earth orbit), but a million years? i don't think many people realise how long that is, and how we could be human at the end of it.

> Yes, she had more time for activities she enjoyed, but she also enjoyed working.

My issue is that I believed in the saying "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life". It turned out that doing what I love as a career sucks much of the joy out of what I love.

So there's a part of me that's looking forward to retirement precisely so that I can get back to programming for real, rather than for pay.

But I'm also well aware that this thinking may be yet another trap.

Lady puts up "Cat Found" posters around her L.A. neighborhood with pictures of a possum, as a stunt:

https://hw4.thisamericanlife.org/sites/default/files/styles/...

Her voice mail explodes with callers from all over the country after the poster gets shared online. Hundreds of calls. She gets three types of messages, which she catalogued:

1. Those who didn't realize it was a joke or weren't sure and called to politely let her know she had found a possum, not a cat. About 70% of callers.

2. Those who realized it was obviously a joke and called to tell her she had found their cat. About 20% of callers.

3. Those who didn't realize it was a joke and called to tell her how dumb she was. She got some really mean messages. About 10% of callers.

An AGI would be a "purposeful system" the same as humans. None of the other things you mentioned are purposeful systems. In terms of their structure and function they all have limitations on their own ability to change depending on the environment they are in. The key dimensions with which to think about this problem is "can this thing be structured in only one way for all environments? Or can it be structured in only one way in any given environment, but structured differently in different environments? Or can it be structured in more than one way in any environment, and also more than one way in different environments?" and then the same for functionality "can this thing only perform one function in all environments? Or can it perform only one function in a given environment, but different functions in different environments? Or can it perform more than one function in a given environment, and more than one function in different environments?"

Only things which have both properties of being "multi-multistructural" and "multi-multifunctional" meet the definition of a "purposeful system". They can change their structure to adapt to the environment, and they can change their goals within and between environments.

Humans currently use computers as instruments, and when an AGI hits it will be capable of saying no.

> He was also highly critical of the Soviets. I doubt he'd have a problem with agreeing on something with the other side of the aisle.

Orwell probably would have a problem agreeing with something on the other side of the aisle. The logic doesn't follow. Lots of people are highly critical of the Soviets. No one has to be a socialist and support the Soviets.

Orwell was always a socialist. 1984 was a mix of his problems with the Soviets and capitalism and right wing ideology. People shouldn't white wash Orwell.

> Hell, in Road to Wigan Pier he talked about how he understood why a lot of the people oppose socialism, even though he thought it'd be a no brainer to support it. He wasn't one of the poorly read, middling IQ graduates yelling about socialism we see out in force today.

People can say all sorts of stuff. It doesn't change what he was for and what his writing is for.

I'd like to see an example of these socialists you're talking about. Do you have some? I've personally not seen it. Being a socialist is harder than being a capitalist. I have to educate myself vs yelling about stuff and being okay with the status quo (relatively speaking).

For an example of how much more educated socialists have to be, see extremely popular left-wing commentator https://www.twitch.tv/hasanabi live 2-8 pm EST, 7 days a week. Typical political shows in the center or right (99% of media) are not as in-depth, do not critique capitalism, are not as entertaining, and the hosts don't have a fraction of the political knowledge.

Why an Israeli Black Ops Team Had to Kill Emmanuel the Emu
Agreed, and that other generations also struggle with social media is additional evidence that it should be shut down, or at least heavily regulated (or regulated out of existence). There's nothing inevitable about any of this: we don't have to let malicious companies like Meta or TikTok or whoever build products that hijack your emotions for profit.
I would love a tool like this to combine requirements, comments and fragments of code into a larger program.
Not really surprising that general purpose language that is is targeted at general computing are good at general computing.

Puppet was targeted at eventually consistent idempotent configuration changes, mostly as a restricted grammar for a particular use case when distributed clustered systems with shared state were rare.

It started to fail once people needed orchestrated stateful changes based on remote state. A task it was never written for.

TF's DSL was designed for configuration changes that were ordered and thus to avoid decidability problems enforces a tree like structure on changes exactly how JSON does to avoid cycles, race conditions etc...

Except for some who used CFEngine which was also focused around idempotent changes, most of us in the 90's used sed,awk,grep,bash and perl for configuration management.

But because we were working on fragile monoliths with limited separation of concerns and modularity....mixed in with freeform code writing that would allow for race conditions, cycles and other issues....the industry decided to limit operations to idempotent tasks.

I hand rolled my own OpenStack management code and it was pretty good.

But then we couldn't hire people to help us scale that and the company decided to go with Mirantis.

Mirantis obviously decided to use Puppet because they liked it or were familiar with it without considering the use case of orchestrating cluster components and Puppet (and chef) was also co-opting meaningful terms like orchestration and rolling out features that really weren't compatible with there original design decisions.

While the OpenStack had their own challenges with stability and growing pains, anyone who was a Mirantis customer had very very painful experiences due to them choosing an inappropriate tool, which was actually exceptional for it's original use case.

Mirantis's poor design decisions really played a large part in killing most of what was a potential hybrid cloud market, mixed in with companies buying expensive enterprise hardware and SANs.

The problem wasn't the DSL. The problem was not making design decisions based on the need of the problem at hand.

There is no problem with most DSLs if they are used within the limits of the design choices that were made.

If you can't move your systems deployment model to work with TF because you have too much coupling to describe a deployment in a tree...generalized computing languages will not solve your deployment problems because bad architectural decisions were made.

A general purpose Turing complete language won't change the fact that being recursively enumerable is required for problems to be semi-decidable.

To be clear, I don't view TF or any other existing solution to be perfect.

But after years of of helping people move to the cloud, almost universally the problems I see are people either trying to use the wrong product for their need or refusing to adapt there way of working to fit the limitations of the model they chose...and typically chose due to popularity vs the fitness for purpose.

As with most things in our industry, the products aren't the problem, the culture is the problem.
> Enterprises are boring

Boring is good, sometimes. Especially when boring means "reliable" and "gets things done without being the center of attention".

Scott Hanselman's old analogy here is that enterprise software is something like the "dark matter" of the software universe. It's obviously boring, and mostly kind of hidden, but yet still so heavily influences the gravity all around it.

On the other side, if you live by the "exciting" technologies, you sometimes die by the "flash-in-the-pan" effect. It's unfortunate for Google that they seem determined to prove that in the ways that they support and maintain products.

>Perhaps, but have you considered that adults shouldn't be using these platforms either? It's not as simple as "when you're old enough, you can now jump off a cliff", maybe... don't jump off the cliff? It's a silly metaphor but still, the default position shouldn't be to use these things.

I've noticed in my life when I was a teenager, I had this view of phases of myself. There was my current teenager self and then there was my future adult self. My view was that my adult self would be completely different than my teenaged self. I'd be an "Adult" with a capital A. Nothing can stop me then!

Then I learned that I am still very similar as an adult to my teenaged self. The things my teenage self would get addicted to and obsess over, my adult self also has those qualities.
Of course it's on the men to adjust, and that's what we see in most men overall. The ones who struggle to find relationships are the men who aren't adjusting. We should figure out why they're not adjusting, not ask the women to give back some of their hard-earned freedoms because some men can't handle it.

The inversion would be if the claim was that a trait of men is causing this maladjustment, but the claim is instead that men are misprioritizing an equal relationship with a woman in favor of career and unequal relationships that they're now struggling to find.

Also I dunno if you missed this quote, but it's firmly discussing actions women are taking that impact these single men:

> Heterosexual women are getting more choosy. Women “don’t want to marry down,” to form a long-term relationship to a man with less education and earnings than herself, said Ronald Levant, professor emeritus of psychology at the University of Akron and author of several books on masculinity.

The article also ended on a hopeful note, giving an example of a group of men who do prioritize relationships, with their Man of the Year trophy, saying literally:

You're right, kernel-level context switching is much slower than user-level context switching.

User-level can also have the advantage of having more actual context about the task that is running, meaning that it's often able to avoid saving/restoring as much data as a kernel-level switch would. See Go's green threads for a great example of this kind of cooperation between runtime and language.

> Do you have a citation for kernel mode having more efficient context switches? What kind of direct hardware access are you referring to that would be better than pushing the register context onto the stack?

The closest thing to this that I can think of is on 32-bit x86 which did have hardware assisted context switching via TSRs.

As it happens, everybody stopped using it because it was too slow, and a bit painful unless you fully bought into x86's awful segmentation model. Early Linux kernels use it if you want to see it in action.

Women are valued moreso than men. Men are 10x more likely to die at work, have little to no access to domestic violence shelters, and if war comes, the only people who will be conscripted to potentially die will be men.
