When you draw the line, for both investors and owners, the unit of value is indeed dollars. The goal is to maximise the amount of money you make (subject to some constraints of course), and the use value that people derive is secondary. I think the two are even to an extend opposed in our world - you want to maximise the exchange value (i.e. the money you make) for the least amount of use value (i.e. how useful it is to the person) you can, because ultimately you do not want to permanently fulfil that persons need - you need them to come back and pay again.

Startups are constrained by the same thing, the whole "doing it to save the world" is just a bullshit story, and monetisation will always rear its ugly head eventually, or the startup will die, because what is doing is genuinely good, but cannot be monetised or ads cannot be inserted in it ...

As the author is employed by Microsoft, I find it relevant to point out that I've seen the most harmful password practice - time-based forced password changes - mainly if not only in Microsoft-based ecosystems.

I don't know what percentage of non-geek users being forced to often change their password, choose something not very similar to their current password. I've seen dozens if not hundreds patterns like attaching month number, month name or week number to the same string, like kid's, dog's or company name. Or yellow sticky paper with password underneath the keyboard or even on the monitor.
What a bad future, he pretty much lost me at the DAOs, where there is no one person, one vote, but more coins more votes... Not to mention actual decrease of financial security when you have to struggle to find different income streams all the time to keep afloat... I don want to be an uber driver, bike courier and dog walker during the day and "content creator" during the night, churning fake videos on how successful influencer I am...

The future for me is simply this, as Warren Buffett said: “If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die”

That's it, so simple - work hard, build investments and retire early if you want to, you are really free when you have the FU money in the bank...

The future we should strive as a society is all those menial jobs to be done by robots and automation, so we can work on hobbies and projects...

What happens to the data service in the event of societal collapse and ground control systems are offline indefinitely? Will subscribers instantly lose data service or will they have access until they reach the end of their paid subscription?
Probably because the actions of those that have any power to change anything aren't exactly "optimistically determined".

We have some of the most powerful men in the world attempting to start either another Cold War or at worst WW3. Existential challenges facing humanity aren't given the time of day compared to "hurrr durrr spy balloon!1!". Mass shootings go by and all anyone sees is some variation of "thoughts and prayers" yet nothing changes.

When the people with the power show no willingness to improve a world which is on a downhill slope from the perspective of many young people I am not surprised that doomscrolling merely reflects reality back at you.

Optimism needs to start with leaders that have the power to actually change things.

Yeah sure it take thousands of dollars to make a PDF. There is a bunch of small organizations and universities that manage to have journal free for reading *and* publishing. There's no reason to pay huge fees for "typesettings" in an area where most of this thing in automated. If the publishing pipeline is too complex it's time to remove bullshit and simplify things. Feeding a latex file into a pipeline or clicking on "save as PDF" in Word shouldn't cost more than a few cents.

> Think how many of us would love to tinker with and improve complex system for the hell of it (open-source), and would welcome doing more of it for free if only we didn’t have an obligation (a job) which takes us away from it.

How often are you fixing Wordpress sites where people have been using WYSIWYG editors and now all the content is full of crazy HTML and someone ran a bunch of search and replace with wrong regexps and it's just a terrible mess and someone needs to sort it out and that someone needs to know HTML and JS and they need to be focused on the task at hand to make sure they don't delete something that was supposed to be kept.

In other words: there's a world of work out there and nobody loves to tinker with that because it's not "improving complex systems", it's robbing through the sewers with a plunger. I doubt that you'll find plenty of volunteers for that.

The "we'll automate everything" approach is pretty boring in my opinion: we're nowhere close, yet people are talking about it as if it was a thing that's happening until 2030 and we need to be prepared for the societal consequences of it and we need to make changes now (surprisingly, it's always those changes they intuitively like that we desperately need to enact, otherwise everything will be automated and we'll all starve). Let's talk about that when we can actually see it on the horizon.

No. They are not. Nor have they been since at least the 1990s (probably longer)

There are standards for "drive-by noise" as measured at various speeds, distances and throttle positions and these standards have been in places and constantly been revised (to be more comprehensive) over time.

First of - rude. Why would you post something like this on a comment that was actually trying to share some tips with you? I kind of want to ignore it now and say 'well good luck then' but at the same time I want to ignore it and actually give you some advice.

That's how I started with language learning. There are channels that are dedicated to native content that's easy to understand. For example: Dreaming Spanish. You listen to content in you target language and learn sentence structure and vocabulary.

You asked 'is there alternative to Duolingo' and I gave you one. In return I got abuse. Not sure this was worth it.
> Isn't that pretty common?

AFAIK basically just 3 wide-spread languages which do this, and they're all known for their idiosyncratic behaviour: C++, Perl, and PHP.

A few languages provide this as opt-in via a subtype (Python's defaultdict) or init (Ruby's Hash.new with a block parameter).

Some more will do it via an opt-in callsite API e.g. Python's `setdefault`, Java's `computeIfAbsent`, Rust's `entry` API.
This is not my field so I didn't take the time to read the small print. But, in my field, lots of journals have an "open" option available to authors. The thing is, you have to pay more in page charges, and so not everyone does this.

The money for those page charges come from the same hard-earned grants that pay for computing time, graduate student stipends, etc. Institutions do not pay these charges (in my field, anyway); the funds come from grants. And, although granting agencies increasingly dictate that "open" models be used, they do not supply extra funds.

As a reader, I love the idea of journals being open. As an author, the additional cost of publishing is discouraging.

Another discouraging thing: having to pay to see even the papers I've written. I never pay for a paper. Many times, I just want to take a quick look to see if the paper merits further study, and that is not worth $35 to me.

I actually think that 10 minutes a day can get you pretty far, especially for beginner. Namely, to slowly get you to a stage when you are able to read those short texts over weekend. Ability to read a short text is fairly large step in learning language. And even then, reading 10 minutes day is going to be more effective then reading for 70 minutes once a week.

10 minutes a day, whether duolingo or not, will get you further then 70 minutes once a week in a crunch mode. That holds for language, playing musical instrument, sport, whatever. The hardest part in those is to keep interest and touch with activity over the long time it requires. And the big enemy are months when you pause the activity entirely.

Obviously you have to mix the learning modes. And obviously the more time you put into it the better.

---------------

I also think that people get naive about amount of time people actually spend learning when going to classes in school or after school club. Typically, get 1-2 lessons a week plus some homework. Sometimes you get 3, but any more then that is unusually intensive. The typical expectation when going to in-person classes is that yes, it will take years till you are anywhere near good command of the language. That a year after, you can survive your way, but still cant consume most of normal media without subtitles. Those are reasonable expectations.
> I am bitter and not sure I can get over it even though my job is safe

Then you either have to raise the issue directly with management, quit, or admit to yourself that you actually can get over it.
I would be as happy so just share a PDF on my website and send it to people who care but if I want to go back in academia somedays I need "real" publications and those are count by universities administration only when done in existing journals and conferences count (also arxiv et al. are not used in the fields I could publish in).

This is such a wrong take. As an "innovator" who also worked on one of the largest messaging apps: I'm VERY happy about this change. Very long due. If properly executed, this gives a very large advantage to startups against those established network effects. And for late stage founders this is not an issue anyway and also makes them shift their focus back to product.

A library is not a physical checklist of books you’ve read.

It is a research tool and a way to grab essential knowledge in physical form.
> so hash map will generally be faster in this regard.

Complexity is not a measure of runtime. The performance drawbacks for std::map have to do with cache, not O(log) vs O(1). log(billion) is 30. And that's exactly how many comparisons you have to do, not a constant multiple of that.

With an open addressing hash table, who knows how many steps you will need to find an element. It's even more questionable if it does linked list chaining.

It's usually a red black tree and maybe could be a b-tree? "Search tree" is accurate.

There is no bubble because literally everyone has whatshapp. It's even available on "dumb phones". I've never met anyone of any age who doesn't have it.
I've come to think this is actually a large problem. In the subscription model the prices were paid for longer time periods, like yearly, and publishing was free. The bills went to librarians who managed everything professionally and had a good overview. This showed clearly in the conflict between 'Project DEAL' and Elsevier the last few years, where a bunch of German Universities and Institutes started collective bargaining to get prices down, and even stopped subscribing for a while.

Now the bills go to individual researchers who often don't even publish with a specific journal more than once every couple of years. I doubt anyone will keep track how much publishing fees increase. Also it's not really the case that there is much competition, if you can get your paper into a high-ranked journal you don't send it elsewhere to save 500$ or something.
Also it used to be that the library subscription budget was clearly defined to the University or institute, now the APCs often come out of one of the many research grants.

My bet is that the APCs will increase much faster than the subscription fees did.

Is there a good integration for Android? I never used Google Assistent, when I tried, it failed for basic tasks.

From the text version not the video: the talk is really about the distinction between "work", which is almost anything that's not leisure, including cleaning the sewers, and capital J "Jobs". His argument is that things like the "gig economy" are not capital-J Jobs. So you're not necessarily going to have people with "sewer cleaner" as a Job, with a pay scale for Sewer Cleaner (Second Grade) and a pension, you might instead find it posted on Taskrabbit or something.
How much of that is due to conservatives generally lagging behind progressives simply by nature of being conservative? Especially rural conservatives vs urban progressives, when it comes to tech? (And presence/lack of good internet access.)

How much due to the fact that liberals tend to try to care for society and the world as a whole, and are affected by all the bad news, while conservatives tend to care for their own in-group, especially locally, and aren't affected as much by things that affect others or happen elsewhere (until or unless politicians/media try to rile them up about it specifically)?
It is a lot of time. But at some point, when you start understanding more, something as simple as watching 20 minutes of The Simpsons in language you're learning instead of English is an immersion. You listen to a podcast or a radio and when you feel like watching random YouTube videos you do it in that language. All of this adds up.

I'm currently averaging 1.5h of video/audio a day and sure, some days it feels like a lot - work is busy, I have to go to the office, gym, and all.

But I'm trying to cross the line of 'I can understand without having to focus really hard' as quickly as I can because then immersion is so much easier. TV, books, podcasts - what I do on a daily basis will all count towards my immersion.
> There are examples of the opposite too, though. Ruby's Hash does not insert the entry:

It does if you initialise the hash with a block to do so:

m = Hash.new {|h, k| h[k] = 0}
m["nonexistent"]
m.length # => 1

That is, essentially, what defaultdict does. Just through subclassing (because `dict` does not provide such a fallback, but it has a magic method you can override to customise the mapping's behaviour in that case).

Looks like you have just learned an important life lesson about how companies work. Despite everything they say and virtue signal, they actually exist to maximize returns for their shareholders, rather than provide welfare for current or prospective employees.

The only actions I would suggest taking are:

* Tell management that you understand that it was a difficult decision to make, but was the correct choice for the company, and offer to assist with handling any fallout with the candidates or other staff, or with interviewing any more suitable candidate later on.

* Stop imagining that your job is "safe", or that other companies are different.
And you’re missing the point that that large effort was less effort than other ways to get a prompt working
