I had a similar experience with the Gentoos/Arches of the world. I'd never use Gentoo or a Gentoo-like as my primary OS for anything, likely for the rest of my life, but it still ended up being one of the most valuable operating systems for me to spend some time on.

I believe once you reach 150% scaling, you end up with the same screen real estate as a 2560x1440 monitor. 200% scaling is the same as 1080p.

>That’s almost an argument for nuclear power

I suppose. That depends how much against the NPT you are and how big a fan of extinction inducing weapons you are I guess.

I wouldnt exactly treat the maintenance and construction of nukes as a sunk cost. It is possible to reduce our collective stocks through diplomacy. We've done it before.

>Solar and wind + storage, in the long run, is currently not cost competitive

It's beaten by solar + wind + natural gas.

Nuclear power doesnt come close to being economically competitive even with the price anderson catastrophe liability cap. It needs to be lavished with subsidies to even exist. For the military, however, cost is rarely an object.
You can be mean to people too! However, if you want to model the corporations correctly, you'll not go very far by thinking they are soulless machines. Most of the reasons corporations fail is people making awful decisions than help themselves personally, and harm long term corporate value.

As for low-quality content, I work with people that have made very bad entertainment. Nobody starts out thinking they'll make something bad. There might be some lowering of standards when, say, the voice acting manager and the voice actor decide that it's not coming out right, and there's no budget to try another 3 days.CGI gets planned for some amount, and when time and a half that is spent, Leia still looks like she is made of plastic. Maybe the writing sounded good to a decision maker, but they had terrible taste. Nobody tries to make it bad, but sometimes we get to choose between bad, and probably still mediocre, and massively unprofitable.

That was Disney's problem this year. A lot of content was super expensive: Go look at the budget for Dial of Destiny, or the per-episode cost of she-hulk. So high that they'd have to be the most viewed things ever to have a prayer at being worthwhile. People were trying their best, and the output wasn't a total embarrassment... but they were all money losers.

I'm still partial to LearnXinYMinutes[0]. It's how I learned enough MatLab/Octave in a couple hours to test out of an intro CS course.

Usually I just use that site in addition to the official tutorial when a concept really stumps me.

Here's their article on Elixir[1]

Describing old things with old terminology is just confusing.
I would argue its over relying on complexity management solutions, so less a problem of experts but the inability or unwillingness to live with degrees of uncertainty and manage your confidence/trust accordingly.

The whole expert thing becomes really problematic once people start making circular arguments to justify their existence and then promptly overrely. So the perceived necessity or benefit of having an expert means there has to be somebody you can trust. Which you then promptly overdo without functioning checks and balances.

Expertise cant stem from demonstrated conviction and cant require trust, thats is describing religion and Ponzi schemes. You arent doing experts any favor by treating them as such, at best they still all have incomplete expertise and cant shoulder your reckless levels of trust.

Yep, me too. I worked at Sybase at the time, and installed it to use a beta PowerBuilder to (try to) build some internal tools. Granted, I in my early 20s and far less experienced with this stuff, but found PB utterly incomprehensible. Unix started making sense fairly quickly, although I still had years of learning ahead to get to competent.

Only later did I realize how odd it was that they had me doing that on a Mac. Those where the days where they had farms of various Unix workstations because they ported SQL Server to a ton of different platforms. I remember ending up in a storage room one day and there were piles of unopened Suns, Apollos, DECs, SGIs...

Slightly less of a commitment, there was also MPW, which was kind of unix-ish.

I think the biggest case where Gentoo still makes sense is when you have a large fleet of identical machines. In that case, the effort put into tuning your installation will be multiplied across the number of machines it's applied to.

For a single machine home install, the biggest value Gentoo has to offer is the learning experience. I ran it for about a year like 4 years ago, and I definitely learned a lot in that time. Hopped around a bit and I've since landed on GNU Guix, and I'm probably set for life now in the GNU world.

Mmm, you should have doubts about that. Between 2010 and 2016 car production was growing, not in decline.

https://tradingeconomics.com/united-kingdom/car-production

Then it turned around and entered a period of decline until 2021, when it started growing again.

The big impacts on UK auto production since 2000 have been the GFC, lockdowns and then the semiconductor supply crisis caused by the lockdowns (in 2021).

It may be worth reflecting on why you were so 100% sure about it being in decline before 2016. Where did you get that impression? Probably places like Bloomberg, whose goal is to create ideological converts, not inform.

There is a general lack of advanced materials in software engineering. This is one area where market economy works against common good, unfortunately. People who have the knowledge and want to capitalise on it are highly incentivised to preparing beginner level materials and maybe a tiny bit to prepare the something for people who already have a bit of knowledge. After that, the number of people who are your potential target drops off sharply and you would have to increase the price dramatically. And it happens that people will not buy a $200 book even if it had $100k worth knowledge in it.

There are some positions available though. For example, I recently found Let over Lambda by Doug Hoyte. Excellent book if you are that kind of programmer.

Another problem with advanced materials is that frequently people are even unable to recognise them as advanced or valuable. It is easy to look at and evaluate things you have experience with, it is much more difficult to impossible to do the same with stuff that is beyond your experience (also called The Blub Paradox: https://www.paulgraham.com/avg.html).

Personally, I just read a lot. I try to keep an open mind and even if I don't agree fully with the contents of the book, I try to use the ideas as inspirations for my own thinking. You can read codebases written by other people and learn new ideas. Over time, you gather a library of solutions to problems and knowledge of when to and when not to apply them.

If you do enough of it, you will find useful knowledge in unusual places.
Well Amazon shot many very expensive shows and they turned out to be crapola. The only thing favored Amazon studios was huge cash from Amazon so they could just be fine with all mega failures.

So far lot of streaming shows are crappy in a way I can't quite put my finger on and its definitely not just about budget.
Not the same person you're replying to. But I have some ideas to share.

> Another common claim I found to be false (in my case): "I learned so much configuring Gentoo!"

This isn't true for everyone. My general plan with anything is to follow the script exactly at the beginning. If that works out, start making incremental changes until something breaks or until you're satisfied. Gentoo taught me a lot of things that way - especially the kernel compilation (which is important to me anyway, due to my profession). Before this, it was Arch. And a regular Linux distro before that. All of them taught me something with the same strategy during the initial phase. Eventually the struggle gives way to familiarity and learning rate starts to fade.

> Well, no. I mostly followed the recipes like almost everybody else, setting flags and touching config files I didn't really understand

I don't know about anyone else, but Gentoo config files were the easiest for me to understand. I feel very much in control with them. The Gentoo wiki doesn't just give you recipes - they always tell you the exact reason for a configuration or flag (This is true for Arch as well). I have also created packages for myself - so I have a reasonable understanding of USE flags. I've been thinking about migrating away from Gentoo - but I like USE flags so much. Sometimes they allow you to access application features that are not available on other distros (because they have to choose build flags that suit the majority).

Something that helps me with this level of control over the configuration is that I maintain them as literate org-mode files with explanations and even diagrams at times. This might seem like too much work for a desktop system. And often that is true. But this workflow suits my interests and profession really well. In fact, at least 3 custom programs are part of my desktop - configuring Gentoo to my liking is the least difficult part in it.

> Ok, I'll bite: why is Gentoo best for you?

Finally. I said this in another comment. The most attractive part of Gentoo for me isn't the custom compiled kernel or software (I use flatpaks for most desktop apps). It's the package management system. Portage is by far the best system I've experienced for creating system packages.
Everyone please realize that just because you did something and no longer do that thing does not mean it was wrong to have done that thing.

All of us who at one point compiled our own kernels and now no longer do, are the killers that we are partly because we did things like that at least for a bit. It only makes sense not to now, after having done it.

It's not true to suggest (or to read these stories as a new bystander and come away with the idea that) "if I were smarter I never would have wasted time on that"
> it still amaze me that "strategic thinking" is such a rare skill set with top executive while high efficiency executive are in abundance.

How much money did the executive make while it took years for these strategies to fail? How much will they make from the golden parachute if they're actually fired for their failures? Is that really failure, relative to the executive?
I don't know anything about learning Elixir, so, cannot help on that specific topic.

But, here's how I conceptually think about advancing one's understanding in programming.

First, you can aim for breadth or for depth of knowledge. So, learning another language is, in itself a kind of "advance". However, for depth, you'd usually want to pick a specific sub-discipline in programming and concentrate on that. You will have better luck with choosing theoretical disciplines, because those usually are rooted in math, and so have longer history and more systematic approach. The more "practical" aspects usually follow the arc of having an introductory course (at best) with the next learning stage being an "area of active research" (also, the intro course would typically be bad).

To give you an example: in college I became interested in regular languages. So, I was looking to expand my knowledge on the subject. Out of all things that I could dig up on regular languages two seemed most appealing: approximation of context-free grammars with regular languages and equivalence between generating functions and regular languages. In a short while I realized that I don't have enough of mathematical background to go after the generative functions part, but the approximation part turn out to be fun and interesting. I was able to dig up some papers and even try my hand in doing something with the concept.

You'd have similar success if you went after types in programming languages. There are plenty of publications, and you will have multiple steps ahead of you before you run up the wall of "area of active research". My journey down that path started with Benjamin C. Pierce's Types in Programming Languages.

Another direction you may consider is to try to generalize your knowledge. For example, of programming languages. In this regard, I find the book by Shriram Krishamurthy, Programming Languages: Application and Interpretation to be a good introduction to the theoretical side of crafting and evaluation of programming languages.

There are, also, unfortunately, some areas where a lot of programming work has been done, but very little learning material is available, and, especially nothing deep has been produced. For example, if you want to go down the system programming route... there are books, that's true, but the level of generalization leaves a lot to be desired. It's often boggled in all kinds of "practical advise" and very concrete examples based on Linux Kernel code long ago replaced by something else (or worse yet, but original Unix code etc.)

Or, even worse, if you consider fields like testing. Or even GUI. It's surprisingly common and yet surprisingly without much analysis or structure.

Well, how much information about Amazon's behavior prior to this are you allowing us to take into account in that determination?

Sure; if the only piece of information under consideration is "the FDA did not shut Amazon down," Occam's Razor says that we should expect that to be because Amazon did not do anything that would lead to them being shut down.

But if we get to bring in all the information we have about what Amazon did do, much of which certainly appears to be conduct that would lead to some kind of regulatory penalty...well, then, it seems like it might be reasonable to consider alternative explanations for the outcome.

There is a fair amount of research out there on the effects of copyright and patents. From my casual observation, it feels murky as far as causal relationships go, but then it is not a field I actively study. The effects are also not independent of the actual implementation of IP rights - it can help or hinder and there might be some optimal setup. I certainly wouldn't dismiss that there could be a copyright implementation that is net helpful for fostering creativity and innovation.
It's neither, you'll know once you find it.
Depends where in Europe. In the UK software engineers can make more than $66k.
I believe the idea is that if the copyright holder doesn't care enough to renew, it'll enter the public domain faster.
It depends on how you use it. For long running applications like services, yeah, the JIT will get the bytecode down to some very high quality machine code. If you write lots of small applications and compose them using something like Unix, then Java is very inefficient.
That's what is weird; I don't know why it's better for me!

I can understand that you didn't learn anything from installing Gentoo. I did, but in my case, I was not like most new Linux users; instead of immediately trying to learn the details when I started, I just wanted to install Ubuntu and get working.

It was only six years later that I installed Arch, then Linux from Scratch, then Gentoo, and in the process, I had many lightbulbs trigger. "Oh, that's why it's like that!"

As much as I love Gentoo, I agree with you: the "faster" argument is a myth.

I hope you can tell I'm not trying to evangelize. :) You said you weren't going to refute that Gentoo is best for me; well, I'll go the other way and not refute that Gentoo is really bad for nearly everybody!

Anyway, I'll take a stab at why Gentoo is best for me: extreme customization. See, there's another way I'm not like most people; others start out with extreme customization and ricing, and they back off of it over time. I started with little and have only grown my customization over time.

Maybe it's because I'm on the spectrum, but computers are annoying to use for me by default. On Gentoo, however, I can make my setup fit me more than any other distro.

Another thing that might contribute is that I like lean setups. Just checked with `ps --ppid 2 -p 2 --deselect | wc -l`, and subtracting the terminal, shell, ps, and wc, there were only 30 processes. And that includes niceties like redshift and picom.

Because I do heavy fuzzing, that matters to me. Also, it is responsive; slow responses bother me more than they do others.

But to be clear, that doesn't refute your experience that Gentoo isn't faster; it took a lot of work to get Gentoo to this point, and it isn't default.

So I am weird.

This doesn't contradict OP—Disney's new content is mostly bad, so it's unsurprising that on their platform people are watching older stuff. But would that have been true of Netflix before everything fragmented? And how many people aren't on Disney+ at all because they'd prefer to see new, good content and already finished what little Disney is putting out?

Your nostalgic tale of the Brøderbund triple crown takes me back to the charm of early '90s computer software shops. The anticipation of new game releases, the agony of waiting for months, and the allure of cutting-edge technology captured the essence of that era. The unexpected encounter with Turbo C in the Borland section adds a twist, reflecting the hopeful ambition of diving into the world of coding, although, as a nine-year-old, the call of Dark Forces and stormtroopers proved more irresistible.
