I feel like you have presented a straw man argument for what a growth mindset is when it comes to individual people. You have taken extreme behaviours and ascribed them to a growth mindset, which I would disagree with.

I would expect a growth mindset as applied to health and fitness would recognise short term versus long term benefits. Maintaining a healthy bodyweight decreases the risk of all cause mortality. Losing weight to the point of anorexia would cause numerous potential problems, and quickly be recognised as not ideal and a different approach applied.

Optimising conversations only for maximum knowledge extraction is not a valid approach within the broader goal of optimising social interactions to maintain a healthy group of friends and family who you enjoy spending time with and can depend upon for years to come.

A diet of pure protein shakes and broccoli is clearly not in line with any reasonable approach to a healthy diet which instead should aim to have a broad a varied source of nutrients, again with the goal of maintaining long term health and supporting whatever sports/training/activities the person takes part in.

A programmer/software engineer who is serious about improving their craft would be much better served by taking a holistic view of their role and expanding their knowledge and expertise to a much broader set of skills than just algorithms and data structures.

Your hypothetical deranged person I would argue is operating under the exact opposite of a growth mindset.
I sold a brother printer when moving country. How often can you say that? A printer that last long enough that it is possible to sell it! They are my preferred brand since 90s but they are venturing into the asshole design with respect to ink costs and tactics. I use 3rd party cartridges. Really why are cartridges being dumped a thing, why aren’t printers taking low waste bottles?
"1 vCPU" is arbitrary unit, you can run as many vCPUs on physical CPUs as you want. AWS Lambda gives you ~1/14th CPU as a "vCPU" on minimum (128MB config), t3.nano has "5% baseline performance/vCPU". So VMs do not need to be expensive.
Lots of us younger people have dark mode with the screen brightness turned way down. I personally often have my screen brightness at minimum, and on mobile I have Extra Dim turned on for more than half of my usage time.

My laptop died from humidity a few years ago and I had to get some work done so I installed Termux, zsh, tmux, vim, postgres, node and Ruby on my phone. Worked really well! I would recommend an external keyboard though.
There's also the Rust library smartstring which allows creating short strings without heap allocations: a Rust string consists of three values (pointer, capacity, length), so 24B on a 64bit architecture. With one byte used as tag this leaves 23 bytes for storing the string in the same space.
Our Brother printer and sewing machines serve us well. After years of Canon, Samsung and others everyone in my family settled on brother products for their reliability and because they forego the usual anti-consumer antics of the other manufacturers.
Buying a black/white brother laser printer gave me just a single consistent issue that was entirely my own fault. It didn’t print in color.

So now I bought a color laser instead, and I couldn’t be happier.
I'd recommend against going with an AMD GPU if you plan to run models. Support is always more spotty than on NVIDIA.
That's only half true. Every party has various blocks, there are still interest groups and various levels of government (city, region, national). You still need to get everybody in line, just not in the same way. Spain has a higher democracy index than the US, yet they build infrastructure cheaper and faster.

Someone needs to invent something similar for sleeping. I would pay good money to have a completely silent sleep environment. Right now ear plugs are the best way, and not at all comfortable to sleep with.

Traffic, neighbors, construction - there's always something going on in a big city. Even having a detached house in the suburbs is not guarantee of a quiet night. Sleep interruption due to noise can have disproportionate impact later in life [0].

I had some ideas about a 'room within a room' spanning just the bed, and I couldn't find a good source of materials. Best bet would be to fill the whole thing with concrete and hope it's acoustically isolated from the building itself.

I pay Apple a fixed amount each month for all devices in my family to have access to a range of features, including a wide range of ad-free games I don't need to pay for. That doesn't feel to me like a cartel, that's just a bundled subscription, similar to the one that Netflix is trying to move to. Can you explain why you think that they're trying to group games studios together to maintain high pricing, when I actually end up paying much, much less than I would if I were to buy the games individually, or pay individual subscriptions to get rid of ads, or worse give up all my data and get bombarded with advertising when I just want to play a game for a few hours?
It seems complicated because there are multiple unions involved in the strike. If I've understood correctly, the big union (IF Metall) and Tesla have clashed over wage bargaining, but now a supporting strike involves also the employees working on the number plates.
This doesn't really address the criticism, for several reasons:

1. Males who identify as women are a heterogenous group that mostly consist of those who have not undergone the 'whole transition' (by which I assume you mean the cosmetic surgery on their genitals, alongside long-term hormonal intervention), with a significant proportion having no intention of doing so. Notably this group includes many males who do not pass as women at all, and who do not seem to put much effort into achieving that aim. Yet still insist that they should have access to women's single-sex spaces based on their 'gender identity'.

2. Women's bathrooms aren't the only single-sex space that males who identify as women desire to enter. Others include: prisons, locker rooms, refuges from domestic abuse and sexual violence, nude spas, sports competitions, support groups for issues that only apply to the female body like pregnancy, menstruation and menopause. Essentially any single-sex space may be coveted by these males.

3. It isn't sufficient to consider this issue only from the perspective of these males and the fulfillment of their desires. The women who these single-sex spaces are actually intended for, and who need these spaces for various reasons including safety, dignity and privacy, must be recognised too, and really should be the group centred in any discussion of this.

Also regarding the objection to 'misgendering': this is another example of how women's spaces are imposed upon by these males. In this case, attempting to occupy the same linguistic space, and by doing so, removing language that may be used to distinguish them in discussions such as this.

well i guess you can say spyware but piece of crap is probably not accurate. i mean its got the most features by far and seemingly has the most resources and manpower being dedicated for development and upgrade. crap is not so accurate.

also because a company uses a lot of tracking on their product doesnt make them an AD company lol.

but lets not get it twisted every browser is technically spyware thats the business of web browsers... i mean brave is to me the most deceitful. for one a VPN that installs background processes for windows users even if you dont want it. reinstalls on updates. and you know how much brave loves to force those background updaters on you.

or how the most popular browser privacy test is run by a brave employee.. hmm guess which browser scores the highest and a favorable testing environment with the settings
https://privacytests.org/ he eventually disclosed his employer in the back area of that website somewhere so thats better i guess.

another one is how certain settings on brave search always reverts back on. or just one the send analytics one. if you use search on a different browser not their own. and etc.

and firefox is funded in large part by google.. do you really think they dont share information?

honestly acting like your browser is superior because no tracking is so silly lol. just use whatever browser you want and tune settings to your liking. harden if you must and move on. is it that much of a hassel? would you rather pay subscription for no tracking?
youll never not be tracked by ads on a free model its too much incentive and the internet is too controlled. you know when you use these product you pay with your privacy and ads its honestly a great deal. at least for me and probably most of the users. imagine paying monthly for edge having time limit package tiers, having to buy packs of google searches, websites have a entrance fee if they dont sell products.

btw im on thorium on linux i dont have a edge/microsoft bias. nor am i some shill for big companies i tend to use alternatives. but im not a sucker anymore for the illusion of privacy nor am i a big company fear monger.

oh ya also who said they are banning ubo?

This setup has worked well and it's what I would start with until it didn't scale.

Experts? Maybe for some fields but I didn’t feel like I was talking to experts in my CS classes. They were knowledgeable but most of what they knew was horribly dated based on what the actual business world was using/looking for.

Average wage is a very narrow view of what ultimately translates into quality of life.

You couldn't pay me to live in the US. I've gotten very close to immigration, but after seeing up close what kind of predatory situation a new immigrant into the US lands in I figured it isn't for me. Though I totally understand why you would want to move there if you are from a country in Asia or Latin America. Then it is a huge step up. But from Europe (ok, one of the wealthier countries in Europe) it felt like a big step down.

50K in Sweden is like 100K in the US. And that's before we get to the distribution of that income, which in the US is extremely lopsided, far more so than in the EU.

This article relies heavily on the claims of the FBI. It is important to know that in recent years (beginning with the Trump administration's "China Initiative"), the FBI has made a large number of false accusations against ethnically Chinese researchers in the United States. A few of the most egregious examples:

* Chen Gang, head of MIT's Department of Mechanical Engineering. The FBI went after him extremely viciously, raiding his home early in the morning with guns drawn, as if he were a terrorist. In the end, it turned out that he had done absolutely nothing wrong, and that the FBI had no case against him. There's a New York Times article about Chen Gang's ordeal here.[0]

* Anming Hu, an engineering professor at the University of Tennessee (and a Canadian citizen), who had his life turned upside down for two years by the FBI. The FBI first pressured him to spy against China, and when he refused, the FBI pursued both him and his family, going so far as to spy on his son. It eventually turned out that the FBI had knowingly used false evidence against him, and Anming Hu was acquitted. Still, he was publicly smeared as a spy and fired from his job (the FBI lied to his employer to get him fired - just one of the many awful things they did to him). There's an article in the journal Nature about Anming Hu's ordeal.[1]

There are a lot of cases like this. The FBI has consistently shown that it doesn't understand how academic research works (treating normal, open academic exchange as if it were espionage), and has a pattern of maliciously targeting ethnically Chinese academics on the flimsiest of evidence. In Anming Hu's case, an FBI agent decided very early on that Hu must be a spy, and then spent two years trying to prove his completely baseless suspicions.

Epson's cheapest plan (printer + 1,250 pager per month) seems to be $14.99/mo. Not if that's a great deal if you only print 60 pages on average unless you need to buy a new printer each year for some reason.

Seems like the subscription might be a decent deal if you actually print quite a lot, though.

A decade ago in Korea, I had a Samsung top-loader that worked great. Had to replace it and could only get a front-loader. Not only is it slow, I have to run the rinse cycle at least twice to get the detergent out. I now often resort to hand-washing and use the machine just for the spin cycle.
Most scientific research is published openly, for everyone in the world to see. This is also true of scientific research conducted in China. Chinese institutions are now among the largest generators of scientific papers in the world (including in top journals, which is an indication that there is a large amount of high-quality research coming out of China these days).

OKI printers are excellent, I never see them on the consumer market in Canada. There were 2 brands in the 90’s that caught my attention as extraordinarily reliable when I worked at a computer store in the 90’s, Brother and OKI. OKI performs very well in terrible environments such as woodworking shops (over a decade with sawdust everywhere). HP and Lexmark were awesome for service contract work.

> Furthermore, AWS and Google Cloud’s metadata services only support one role/service account per instance. If you have multiple services that require different permissions on an instance, they’ll have to share, which is poor security practice. A service may get access to something it doesn’t need and audit logs will be less useful. There’s no such limitation with static file-sourced credentials.

Bit of a head-scratcher. If you run multiple services on a VM, why not issue each of them identities of their own, rather than relying on the IMDS identity? If you need separate identities on the same machine for your security posture, then the complexity of setting that up is largely handled for you by IRSA: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/iam-roles-f...

Even the logging service should not be using the IMDS identity. The IMDS identity should be very much locked-down, something like AmazonSSMManagedInstanceCore if I recall correctly.
