For all the real work going on, we practically are already extinct. There is a vibe line between doom scrolling and brain death.
Still loses to .NET. On reference host Java still closer to 1.7-2s ballpark (and has to use awkward SWAR to get there) while the fastest solution in C# is 1.2s, beating C++ (code can be ported however).

But yes, "I expected Go to win..." is exactly the core of the problem here. Same as with e.g. Swift, which people expect to perform on the level of Rust, when it is even slower than Go. The intuition caused by common misconceptions just does not correspond to reality sadly.
This is due to not having a single payer. In this situation we all loose. Lack of being single payer also poses risks to us all regardless of coverage with our emergency rooms all over crowded.

I hate to "me too", but you also nailed that analysis.
If you're clever about how you initially take apart the input you can just do a single memory load at a computed offset.
The effort and long time it took Go to get to something that 3-6x times slower than other, better languages should be an important reminder to everyone assuming it belongs to the same weight class as Rust, C# or Java.
If you're buying ammo online and sorting by cost per round, it's easy to make an expensive mistake: https://twitter.com/westernunion2k/status/141712299595750604...
JVM has always been on par if not often faster than hand-written C code.

Go's advantage has always been that it is good enough at a lot of things.
> There are only a small handful of countries that even have an "a few thousand miles away" in the same country. The large majority of developing countries are rather near the equator and can put solar anywhere.

It’s not like they aren’t installing solar power in those countries at all, but with the cost, it’s still slow going. Philippines is up to 1.62 gigawatts, but they use 90k gigawatts, so only 88.4k to go.
That would've been a reasonable argument back in the day when there were more computers than phones.
But also: could you clarify what do you mean by private insurance? You can buy insurance from Blue Cross, Cigna, United, etc on healthcare.gov. It’s the same providers you get through your employer, the only difference is that it’s the government negotiating (kinda) and you choosing instead of your employer doing both.
leftism and woke do not share a definition. Leftism is nonsensical, at best, fair enough. Woke is regarding the ethos that words and (lack of) representation can be equated with physical harm. I don't subscribe to that and I'm certainly not a Republican.
Disrupting any official proceeding is now a federal felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison, so 60s style anti-government protest would be shut down quickly.

The Jan 6th trials (most of which were based on that charge) set a precedent that will haunt us for a long time.

If a protest tactic turns more people against you, it's probably counterproductive. Sure, it's hard to know if in the end it'll count as a net positive, but protest for its own sake, without strategy for winning mindshare or representation, is pointless. What was the strategy of shutting down a bridge in California "for Gaza". You're just going to get removed from the bridge and arrested. It's not like anyone is going to pressure Israel because they can't get to work on time this morning.

We're a nation of laws, not of your awareness. It's just the words on the page. Was there a law being broken or not. In this case the answer was no. The police then proceeded to write up multiple claims of illegal activity that were all demonstrable falsehoods, and your defense of the illegal activity on the part of the police is that you aren't aware of a holiday?

This is just the sort of thing we need to stamp out before these thugs kill either some other innocent kid, or cause a real police officer to be hurt or killed while trying to control the inevitable community reaction to their bird brained behavior.

These cops need to be off the force yesterday. Yes they are liabilities waiting to happen. Yes they are dishonest. But the real reason we need to get rid of them is because they are unpredictable. We have no idea what anyone who will shoot at innocent kids and lie about it today will do tomorrow.

Honest cops are predictable. Dishonest cops are just loose cannons and we need to cut them out at every opportunity.
That kind of argues against everything you are saying. Sellers do have a choice today of selling on their own websites. But they get benefits of selling on Amazon. Just like low graphics games like Candy Crush could make web apps today yet they find enough value to be in the App Store despite the 30% cut.

A quick Google search shows that Amazon only has 40% of e-commerce.

Money alone doesn't fix problems like this. Many cities spend a ton of money on homeless services, but without meaningfully fixing the problem. You need the political will to enact the right sorts of policies, and I firmly believe that to truly fix our homeless problems, we need to fundamentally rethink how society and economies work, which isn't something you do overnight (assuming people even want to do it).

Even the more short-term solution of just giving people housing and letting them take the next steps is controversial in the US, for IMO stupid reasons. Taxpayers here don't want to give other people stuff for free, for the most part, even if doing so would make the taxpayers' lives better too.

Then again, $200B could house a lot of people. A quick search suggests there's in excess of 650,000 homeless people in the US. I'm sure that's an undercount, so let's round that up to one million. That's $200,000 per homeless person. Some will need more in order to get and stay on their feet (say, people with serious mental illnesses or substance abuse issues), and some will need less (like someone who had their working hours reduced and is now coming up short on rent).

Of course, that $200B wouldn't go to solving homelessness, even if we didn't have to spend it on other people's religious wars or to fight against other people's imperialist tendencies (yes, I recognize some amount of hypocrisy there). But it's fun to think about what we could do if it did.

Ultimately, though, is it more important long-term to help Ukraine than to fix our homeless problem? I don't think there's a clear answer there. I'm not comfortable in a world where people like Putin find little resistance to invading neighboring countries (not to mention other certain dictatorships that will feel emboldened to do the same if the rest of the world doesn't care). I'm really disappointed and saddened by the state of things when people have to live out on the streets, though; that's a pretty big deal.
Just a simple majority? I hope that the Brexit disaster has shown that it is essential such decisions have a supermajority backing.

Their 66 satellites are going to support a much lower aggregate constellation throughput and spot beam count vs StarLink. They’re fundamentally constrained by lift costs and low constellation satellite count.

Iridium has 48 spot beams per satellite each covering 250 miles. Each StarLink cell covers ~15 miles with a similar spot beam count, with 5,442 satellites currently operational (as of this comment).

“Don't get me wrong, I'm not depressed or anything”

I would argue that you are. Depression doesn’t always manifest as sadness or being aloof. It can manifest in anger and outbursts, fits of despair, doom and gloom, etc.

Instead of focusing on the external, focus on the internal. Are you enjoying coding? Are you learning? Those two things are all that matter (aside from health and being able to live of course).

Once you get in the groove, ride that groove until another groove crosses your path.

Ignore the fact that you didn’t do things the way you thought they should go. Get over it. It’s in the past. No one really cares that much. Just go, do what you enjoy, make a living doing it if you can, and live your life. Nobody has it figured out. They just think they do. Oh, and life is a whole lot simpler when you stop comparing yourself to others.
Reuters said, "[t]he problems began last week after hackers gained access to Change Healthcare's information technology systems [...]" so it was probably because some airhead gave their login to the hacker over the phone. Social engineering accounts for 98% of all cyber-attacks. Highly intelligent people who are only accustomed to employing software don't understand this, because the only thing they're afraid of is their software getting exploited.

Which, despite what most people think, isn't the utopian goal of the Catholics there, afaik. More like something they might settle for, if it's pragmatic and generally beneficial to the people. I've been told it's not exactly the golden ticket to the promised land outsiders seem to think it is.

The stock doing well doesn't seem to actually suck for employees paid largely with stock grants. At least I suppose many on the outside will be thinking that as they question why the employees are complaining so much.
This is late, so you might not see this, but I think this is where you start seeing the difference between words and actions. People who you can trust will say something that makes you feel safe and comfortable, and then back those words up with actions. People who are taking advantage of you will always tell you those words but they will never turn into anything actionable. This is similar in a romantic and business partner: someone saying the right things is a good sign, but them living up to what they say is where the proof is.

LMAO! That's a great freaking point! Obviously, simple majorities are perfect recipes for the shitshow they're currently in.
Serious question:

Would it be illegal to hire a human "price consultant" who was very popular among your landlord friends? Does it matter if the price consultant only serves 5% of the landlords in an area? What if they serve 20%? 50%? Where does the line get drawn between "seeking advice from an expert" and "engaging in price-fixing"?

I wouldn't be surprised if that was tried at some point in the past, so there might already be legal precedent for the non-algorithmic variant of this.

> Regulation will absolutely hurt middle-class landlords but will increase the average sophistication of the industry.

Sophistication is a tool used deliberately and maliciously by large incumbents to suppress competition and to crush smaller firms. And I'm not convinced that middle-class landlords who own a handful of units are the big bad guy we should be going after here. I can only hope that the FTC agrees and is willing to focus their attention to where it will actually help people.
It's not a matter of belief, there's a well known link between poverty and crime.

The ultimate reason is that if you are poor, the proceeds of crime (theft, burglary, robbery etc) are comparatively more meaningful than to somebody who is wealthy, while the cost of getting caught is comparatively less. A rich professional does not steal loaves of bread to feed their family, because they don't need to and they risk losing their entire livelihood if they do. If you're poor, unemployed and your kids are hungry, the risk/reward calculus is very different.
There have been other attacks in the past that would meet that bar, the first that comes to mind is WannaCry - seeing as it disrupted the NHS.
It's never too late to go to college. Some areas are offering college at very low tuition as well, so it pays to move to the right place.

Keep applying and applying yourself. When you do make it, save a good bit of what you make. Another comment said 10-15%, more is better. Savings is a cushion and makes you more fearless, and enough savings lets you walk away from anything.

Well, Dallas had 246 murders last year. https://www.dallasnews.com/news/crime/2024/01/11/1-year-246-... That's a killing every other day, and obviously does not include nonfatal shootings.

While it is true that there is lots of death in the news, most murders are not newsworthy. For instance, did you know there were 21 school shootings in 2020? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_shootings_in_th...

Surprising, right? You certainly didn't hear about a shooting every other week that year. (Granted, 2020 was an unusual year, news wise.) But look at the descriptions of the shootings:

"A large group of men jumped a fence to gain access to Atascocita High Schools football field, when an argument escalated and a 19-year-old was killed.[503]". "At Sonora High School in downtown Sonora, a student named Eric Aguiar, 17, was shot and killed in the High School's parking lot.[507]". "A 20-year-old University of Alabama at Birmingham student was shot and killed in a campus parking lot outside the student center. Investigators believed the shooting occurred during an arranged meeting to sell headphones.[513]".

Parking lots, dangerous places!

Dallas could have a thousand murders a year, or five thousand, and you'd never hear about them-- if the murders were boring enough.

> RealPage discourages bargaining with renters

It's more than 'discourage'.

RealPage considers (their own words) landlords to be "cheating" when they deviate from the recommended rates.

Landlords are contractually obligated to follow RP recommendations 95%+ of the time:

> Consistent with their agreement to impose rents generated by RealPage RM Software nearly all the time, Defendants agreed to limit overrides. For example, a RealPage LRO training document states: “Overrides should be few and far between.” Similarly, internal RealPage LRO training documents teach cartel members’ regional managers to beware of “Override Overload” or “rogue” leasing agents who too frequently override the LRO-generated pricing.

> An internal presentation created by Defendant Greystar explicitly
acknowledges that RealPage RM Software users should each seek to accept at
least 95% of the RealPage-generated prices, emphasizing that “Discipline [o]f
using revenue management increases more consistent outcomes.”

> Former Greystar employees have similarly confirmed that negotiating rents other than those set by the RealPage RM Software was unacceptable.

> Even where Participating Landlords do not enable auto-accept, most landlords cannot, on their own, charge rents other than those generated by RealPage’s RM Software— landlords can only “propose an override.” The landlord must then provide a written business justification for why they wish to depart from the RealPage-generated rent.

RealPage is simple fucking cartel software.

Some years ago I predicted to a Northern Irish acquaintance that Ireland would unify by 2035.

I based this on various things, but primarily because it's the "obvious thing to do". It brings NI into the EU, and that would appear to be a long-term good.

Seeing the UK economy suffer from Brexit, the treatment of NI by Westminster (who mostly pretend if doesn't exist anyway), and ultimately the aging of the UK support in NI, the end result is "obvious".

Ultimately its hard to predict time lines with geo-politics, but I expect to see real movement in this direction over the next decade.

New report claims Reddit's upcoming IPO will seek a valuation of up to $6.5B

If it becomes impossible to rent properties profitably, then eventually there would just be fewer rentals available.
This video was incredible when it came out. The song itself, and the intersection between art and engineering was mind blowing for me back then. The creator released some videos later about making that machine that was also great.

Then he started building the second version of the machine. It was supposed to fix all the "issues" he had with the first, and be something that can tour the world with. Super exciting!

About 90% done, he abandoned the project to start with a /third/ version for reasons I _still_ don't understand. I think he allowed "perfect" to be the enemy of "done" and he frequently went down rabbit holes of design and "innovation" that left me frustrated because it was clear to me his original concept was "good enough"

Sadly I stopped watching around this time. I'm sure his content is still interesting, and he definitely innovates in the marble machine space. But he stopped making music, and now only focuses on 3D printed marble gate designsto my eyes.

The service also requires you to go with their recommendation 95% of the time, and at a certain point requires you to go with their recommendation, and you can only "request an override" that RP can allow or deny at their discretion (of course, they can't enforce it, other than to kick you off their service, with no refund).

Reading between the lines, it sounds like you have had to deal with some tough situations in life already. Do you feel like your outlook on the future is colored by your past experiences?

One thing that helps me when I am discouraged is to take stock of the facts. If I don't get a FAANG job, can I still find success in life with the skills I've obtained? If I do get that FAANG job, what problems will I still have to face? Can I take another position in the meantime and try again with a stronger resumé? Thinking about the situation objectively usually helps me see that the stakes aren't as high as I imagined.
