I didn't take it as snarky. I could write a long essay on how I've used the experiences of those older than me to make decisions, but I'll spare you the diatribe. One strategy, though, is to ask people about their experiences. Do you mind sharing what was rough about those years in your 40s?

> PPP is a misleading figure. If your PPP-adjusted income is 2 times higher than someone's else does it mean that you can buy 2 times more MacBooks or trips to Korea?

You're looking for "discretionary income" minus groceries (not to be confused with disposable income), because GDP does not tell you that (PPP adjusted or not) and PPP adjusted income doesn't tell you that either. Also you kind of made a jump from (per capita) GDP to income, which is related, but not the same thing.

To answer your question: In your example it may either be more or less, because PPP really does not say much for anything but your chosen basket of goods.

Example: Person A earns $2000 and spends $750 to meet standard of living X, while another person B also earns $2000 but has to spend $1500 to meet that same standard.

Adjusted for PPP using that standard of living/basket of goods X, Person A earns twice as much.

Let's assume that MacBooks and trips to Korea generally cost the same for both people. Person B has $500 left over to pay for such things, while Person A has $1250 left - more than twice!

I easily could have chosen numbers such that it was less than twice. I could also have chosen them such that one person, while appearing richer purely based on non-adjusted income, can in fact afford less of everything. Obviously you can also make it so that one person can afford less luxuries than the other despite appearing richer adjusted for PPP.

You can try to fix this by making any luxuries you're interested in part of your basket of goods. While you're still comparing an entire basket, at least you'll know how often each person could purchase that entire basket compared to each other.

The point I'm trying to make is that while you still have to be careful to understand what PPP adjusted numbers are telling you, non-adjusted numbers aren't any better and in fact are probably more misleading for what you appear to be interested in.
This is what Niklaus Wirth was getting at, in his "push back" on conventional class-based OOP. In Pascal, they are called "units", as oppose to "modules". In his Modula/Oberon, they are called modules.

Many of the newer languages have modules or packages, but interface well with C, thus give the benefits of what the article was referring to. To include that various newer ones don't use class-based OOP, just as C doesn't.

Darn, guess I'll have to wait for stuff to land in Firefox.
I lived the first 20 or so years of my early life not knowing about smells. I think I already "knew" that I can't smell but I never really appreciated this about myself. I had always been "immune" to smelly things like animal poo, dead animals or whatever (which is abundant since I lived in a remote area). I think the receptors are there because I do feel weird or "sense" that something is wrong when there's smell (only once they told me about it so maybe its just psychological) but I do feel a "sensation" when something that gives out a strong smell is put close to my nose (like perfume and things like that).

However, my brain can't seem to connect which is what. I have no idea what "smelly things" smell like, or what makes a perfume smell "good".

So my family would often asked me to dispose of things that really smell or enter a really smelly room and things like that because they thought I am just "stoic" in this sense. I think they first realized that I don't smell is when I was shocked when they said that my coffee smelt nice. They went "Wait, you don't know coffee smell?". I had always faked my responses when people ask about smell and basically gave awkward smile or grief whenever is appropriate lol.

It didn't dawned on me until recently that I am missing out on a 1/5 a human experience. It also meant that I am very anxious if I am cleaning up properly (do I smell? did I miss a spot?)

Does anyone share the same experience? I wonder how you cope with this issue. I don't have any SO so I don't have a mirror that I can reflect on if the room or myself smell or whatever.
That’s a perfectly logical stance to take, but I think it hinges on :

”Now, if officers use legal loopholes to take illegally-acquired evidence and somehow make it legal, that's a practice that should be rooted out and those involved prosecuted.”

If in practice illegal practices, are not rooted-out or prosecuted, and actually condoned, I think one would need to look askance at the entire concept…

Not only that, but I've argued with people substantially, where people claim that it isn't information leakage. The other thing I've significantly argued about is random sampling. You wonder why "random samples" in generative model papers are so good, especially compared to samples you get? Because a significant number of people believe that as long as you don't hand select individual images it is a "random sample." Like they generate a batch of samples, don't like it, so generate a new batch until they do. That's definitely not a random sample. You're just re-rolling the dice until you get a good outcome. But if you don't do this, and do an actual random sample, reviewers will criticize you on this even if your curated ones are good and all your benchmarks beat others. Ask me how I know...

It mostly depends on the quality of the dubbing. The trend for anime was to have excellent Japanese voice acting and terrible dubs, until western editors realized that good dubs sell and invested in better voice acting.

Miyazaki films, being popular, big budget theater releases didn't suffer as much from cheap dubbing as TV series.
Maybe my experience was different but the lack of smell from COVID was farrrrr more acute and noticeable than I’ve ever had with a sinus infection. It was like the sensation just starkly disappeared rather than diminished. It was really one of the most disconcerting symptoms I had if I’m honest!
> I've also never understood the concept of being "bored" with water.

For what it's worth, I don't think this is right. The "well, how did I get here?" problem can happen to anybody. Maybe it's not happening to your friends, but certainly there are many people like them who wake up some days wondering why they are struggling to find enough purpose and meaning in all those beautiful things they've built their lives around, and battling to envision their path back to contentment.

Let me expand in that first point.

Any choice in datastore performance is made up front by choosing how spread out the data is: basically, maximum throughout is the sum of maximum throughput for each storage rack hosting the data. To simplify, if we had a datastore replicating data to 10 instances with peak IOPS of 100k each, we are looking at max 1M IOPS: the fact that we can cheaply scale our CPU instances for Postgres infinitely won't change the upper bound for IO (without scaling the storage too, which is recognized as the slow but avoided part with their implementation).

Network can play a similar role.

And finally, Postgres instances benefit from being long-lived as opposed to serverless (in a more traditional sense): with enough RAM, all the important indexes can stay permanently in the cache thus improving performance by orders of magnitude compared to cold Postgres instances needing to read indexes off disk.

In theory, one could pre-warm memory caches for Postgres read replicas (akin to suspend/hibernate), but depending on the memory size needing to be read from slow storage, it might not really beat simply reloading the indexes.

Obviously, my concerns are related to large databases, but those are the ones usually needing scale out.

I think it does come down to risk and risk mitigation. As someone who works for an “Istio vendor” we see some of the largest deployments of Istio in the world for mission critical/tier-0 workloads… and all the steps it took to get there including evaluation/POC of other vendors/mesh technologies.

Part of these decisions are based on things like “What is the rest of the industry doing?” “How vibrant/diverse is the community?” “How mature is the project _for enterprise adoption_?” “What vendors are available for enterprise support?” “Is it already available in my platform of choice?” etc.etc.

The sting of “picking the wrong container orchestrator” is still fresh in a lot of organizations.

We see Istio make it through these questions with good answers for a lot of organizations where other/alternative service mesh vendors strike out pretty quickly.

This is even before we get to the “feature comparisons” for usecases these large organizations focus on/have.

Among the folks I know, the number who lost their sense of smell in their 30s-40s who later went on to develop some form of dementia is 100%, n=5.

Different countries, different cultures and backgrounds, but the common denominator is loss of smell predated their dementia diagnosis by ~20 years,+/-5.

There's a physical aspect as well as a mental aspect to it. Media is constantly feeding you information about loss of smell (even though I've lost it at least a few times before with viruses).
I had a friend who couldn't really smell until he got some kind of olfactory surgery. Before the surgery he felt like maybe he was missing out on some stuff like certain tastes or smell experiences (and he had a similar "immunity" to stinks). After the surgery he could smell to some degree and while it was a novelty he didn't feel like it really opened him up to a whole new set of experiences and was a bit underwhelmed. He was more thankful for the ability to breathe through his nose. I think smell is way less impactful than sight or sound, if that makes you feel any better.
Where do you live?

It's currently 112 F where I am and there isn't a cloud in the sky. Humidity is very low so water isn't absorbing radiation.

Nobody is riding a bicycle or walking long distances six months of the year here, except for the unhoused, and they can only move at night. Cars are mandatory to participate in the economy.

A car with un-tinted windows is impractical for two reasons: solar heat and UV.

The A/C can be running full blast and my legs will still get hot. Normal side window glass doesn't block UV well so I can get a sunburn with my windows closed.

I have to equip my windows with dark tints. It's like a Canadian putting on snow tires except I can't change it out with the seasons.

So my state doesn't have laws against tints because it can't. Ok, so I drive to another state in my car... now I'm breaking the law.

You can say "human beings shouldn't live in such a place" but first, about 114 million Americans live in similar conditions, and second, these conditions are moving north.

Protecting the occupants of a car against solar radiation is a reasonable thing to do.

It's not that airbags aren't more safe, it's that they protect you from a risk with a very low probability.

Yet people act like you're reckless for driving a vehicle without them. It's a lack of understanding of probabilities. Humans routinely focus on a small risk while ignoring larger risks.

Not unusual around here to see farm trucks from the 80s or earlier (sometimes MUCH earlier) still kicking around.
Complete anosmia with cold/flu/sinus infection is rare. Typically you can't smell anything because your nasal passages and olfactory bulb are fully occluded by excess mucus. The loss of smell is physical. If you blow your nose you can usually still smell a bit.

With COVID the loss of smell was fully neurological. It's like...a null vs. a 0. And it persisted in some cases, to the point that some Long COVID cases had to retrain their palates to fully taste food (e.g. overcoming aversion to alliums). That was the novelty.
