I can't speak to the general phenomenon, but I will say that students do not come to college with any mathematical preparation. The ones who learn mathematics learn it here.

It's actually worse than this, students have a much easier time learning to program, which they have mostly never done before, than to perform even the simplest identical reasoning in the context of mathematics.

I am forced to come to the conclusion that school is so bad that it is harmful to education. This strikes me as something to consider before worrying about whether children are attending.

This is, I am assured, the basic right wing agenda coming to fruition. Make (public) schools so bad that people start thinking of them as a waste of money, but the actual work that has gone into making them terrible has been bipartisan.

Bad teachers need to be able to be fired, and schools need to compete for enrollment, rather than some secondary measure of performance.

A lot could be included in this, but let's make some specifics explicit: if you locked in housing costs in 2020, it's entirely credible that a move could involve a 50-100% increase on that front right now.

Remote work can have pros/cons but it's more or less a declaration of independence for both employees and employers from having to care about market-specific housing costs in general.

> I’m a happy user of multiple Apple product, but I wish they had serious competition in the mobile OS space.

I'm right there with you.

In fact, I'll state an even stronger position: I wish there were at least 3-5x more choices of platform for all form factors of computing device.

The duopoly that developed during the '90s was so clearly unhealthy, and yet it has set the expectations for OS competition so completely that many people seem to think it is an inevitability.

If we had a half-dozen or more mainstream OS choices, there would be massively more pressure for interoperability. That would mean that rather than lock-in, the various OS vendors would have to compete on things people actually like.

Now, just as you, I am a happy Apple user, and have been since before Jobs' return as iCEO. From where I sit, Apple does very much try to provide things that users want, to some extent...

...but if they had 4 more real competitors, there's much more chance that some of them would be providing many of those same things, and thus pushing Apple to do better and be better (just as you implied, indeed).

Is there any demand for such a tool?

Ages ago, I created an n-up imposition engine for bookwork. Also adjusted pages for creep and shift. And very basic printer marks.

It was just a simple UI form, not a graphical app (Illustrator, QuarkXpress, Preps). It'd output both a Preps template (for imposition) and a JDF with the fold and binding specs. Though the plan was to impose PDFs natively.

Alas, we were bought (by Creo), and my work was abandoned, then lost. Billion dollar company had no interest in a $50 utility (or InDesign plugin).

FWIW, Rohan Holt recreated the bookwork engine for his Metrix product. So my algorithmic innovation wasn't lost completely. Metrix is a professional general purpose tool, whereas mine was just for bookwork.

With the shift from litho to digital printing, on top of the decline of print work industry, I've assumed there's no commercial market.

But maybe with nostalgia, there's now makers and tinkerers who'd use a simple tool.

Thoughts?

This is a difference from prior generations. You used to hear "the company is moving us to Seattle" but implicit in that is:

- people worked for "the company" for years if not their entire careers

- there was little to no fear that you'd get laid off after the move

- the company paid your relocation expenses, perhaps also bought your old house so you would not have to deal with selling it.

- your wife (probably) was a homemaker and did not have to worry about finding a new job.

- kids had to go to a new school and make new friends. Tough luck, kids didn't dictate what parents decided to do.
Students who have attained a low grade can be very devastated just like I was. Getting a professional hacking team like Coder Cyber Services is one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. I had bad school grades for more than 2 years, but then I was encouraged by an article to reach out to Coder Cyber Services who made something that once seemed so incomprehensible to me, seem so easy. I appreciate how they upgraded my files regarding my poor academic performance and left no traces behind. Currently, I'm a very contented student. Coder Cyber Services can assist you as a student in improving your academic standing so that you can receive the greatest possible school accreditation.

> Regulations make them nearly impossible

That is equivalent to saying sulphuric acid kills cancer.

While true, it does other things too like kill normal cells.

Likewise, broadly scoped regulation can hamper freedom and prevent people from doing otherwise harmless activities. Worse, it paves the way for selective enforcement. Think about federally mandated drugs regulation and how that is abused by biased authorities.

Agreed. Flagged for intentionally misleading title.
It's not as "vapid" as you imagine.

As an example; =maybe you have a family/friend group chat of 8 members and you're planning a birthday party or an event. If everyone is in the ecosystem, you can seamless share notes, todo's, hi-res pictures, videos, locations, etc.

Since for whatever reason your family has no idea what Signal/Telegram/WhatsApp are - you take the one person that's not on iMessages (and so preventing the group from using the tools) out of the group and say "Make sure to update so and so on the Notes here" or something. It's a practical decision. Often, that one Android user is the only one on Signal or WhatsApp. So to share pictures, you make a group of everyone on iMessage and send the videos and album over, and then send a separate WhatsApp to that person.

And sometimes you accidentally forget to send that seperate message.

The right answer is to all agree on a fully featured messaging app (For most non-US that's WhatsApp), or for the default messaging to be upgraded.

Then you get to RCS - which Google is now pushing, after going through a dozen (or two?) of their own attempts to lock users in with a bewildering array of conflicting messaging apps.

Apple should support it, although it's a bit rich to see Google try to "shame" Apple into it only because the failed at their execution.

I like controlled burns as an analogy, too.

The US economy needed more controlled burns and small "fires" - eg restricting spending back a long time ago when that could've been done without major consequences, unlike now.

Similarly, as a parent, allowing your child to experience small failures so that they are less at risk of big failures.

Small failures that don't cause ruin = increased strength. Reminds me of the antifragility concepts.

I really think the current paradigm of literally typing if else logic all day into programs, and then getting paid huge money to do so will go away. Programming is going to be much higher level and accessible, though still complex. It will take five years or so.

Edit:

My prediction is essentially that:

You give it a set of requirements for an api, with edge conditions written in plain English. Test cases are provided. And the vanilla api is generated. We aren’t that far from this. It’s going to happen. Programmers may go in and tweak the generated code. When the requirements change, you pass in the old code as context.

Complex software will require human coding. But most programmers are in denial about how complex the code they’re writing actually is.

Requimemts gathering is notoriously tricky, but you won’t need engineers for it. Welcome to the age of the PM

>And what do you do for families whose homes were destroyed? Of the nearly 1500 structures destroyed, only a handful of building permits have been issued to rebuild.

You can't let them rebuild in place. Your points are spot on (a new survey shows 1/3 of Californians live in the urban/wildland interface where wildfires will destroy most dwellings) and it requires new zoning, new fire legislation on fire insurance, and of course the ability of people to live in higher density through infill and careful planning. The cost of housing in the Bay Area is a closely related problem, but the bottom line is that we have to let fire move through the coastal redwoods every few decades, and that means we cannot build tinderbox houses right next to those groves.

I agree, jackmott42's problems reflects the entirety of the US problems. Let's make sure only jackmott42's issues in life are resolved, we'll start by eliminating all of those nasty trumpers from society.

Let's also build a fort around jackmott42, so they are completely safe from all their enemies, imagined or not.

As for the rest of us? Who cares. The only thing that matters is jackmott42.
Another example is how many people advocated for (and how many countries essentially adopted) letting covid spread throughout the population (either like wildfire or via "flatten the curve") to get natural herd immunity because letting a poorly understood (but known to be quite deadly) virus spread through the population was doable but giving out vaccines that hadn't been through phase 2 trials wasn't.
> I dont know anyone that is seriously worried about this in such a way

Do you happen to remember the global wildfires/rivers drying up/massive heat waves in 2020? About a few billion people worldwide / 100m Americans sure do. A larger and larger portion of them are starting to understanding what the cause to that is and are acting accordingly.

Every year, we keep hearing how even the most aggressive estimates for climate change were underestimated. That's terrifying and existential to a lot of people including me.

I'm also on dextroamphetamine and have been for ~10 years now, with some breaks. When I get off it, I always make sure to taper down the dose. Otherwise I'll be miserable for no reason. I also skip doses on the weekends, which gives me body a chance to reset and keeps the tolerance cliff from growing higher every week. It does come with the tradeoff of sleeping most of the weekend, but if my body needs it, then who am I to say no?

Regarding inability to get out of bed: I empathize completely and have been there, even while on medication. There's not really a magic solution, but if you are getting off medication, you just need to give it time and eventually (could be months) your dopamine levels will return to normal.

Also, I think it's important to recognize the difference between motivation and willpower. If you have ADHD, I'm probably preaching to the choir here. But for me, "motivation" is a long term drive more akin to ambition, whereas willpower is a short term muscle that I have trouble exercising. That's what makes ADHD so frustrating: I have an abundance of ambition and motivation, but a dearth of willpower. I know what I should be doing, but I just can't do it. This is a distinction that someone suffering from ADHD will recognize immediately, but a neurotypical person can only understand in the abstract, if at all.

Getting out of bed is about willpower, but it can also be about motivation - it's worth examining your life trajectory to see if you're moving in a direction you're happy with, because if the cause is lack of motivation, then pills will hardly help (other than a desire to take them driving you to get out of bed). Pills can fix a lack of willpower, but no pharmaceutical can give you motivation. That's a long term drive that you need to seek for yourself.
There's a third option: depression is not a real disease, it is the correct response to what has been done to you, and there are people who should be held responsible for that.
