In nearly all situations, these advanced calculations bear only a limited relationship to the underlying physics occurring in material systems. A lot of simulation work involves twiddling parameters until you get the result you want to see, and then just publishing that one simulation. It's sort of a post-hoc retro-causality problem. Many of the things you describe came about because of a combination of immense amounts of lab work (mostly of which were failures), some theoretical concepts, and a person willing enough to twiddle params until they fall up something that works, after which they can optimize the parameters.

We do where I work, but we don't make consumer products.

We need efficiency and control, and that usually requires developing our own data structures and algorithms rather than using what's in standard libraries. This is amplified by our need to keep the use of third-party libraries to an absolute minimum.
It's literally just mobile devices. Specifically the introduction of the iPhone. Steve Jobs changed the world for the worse if he only knew. Rich kids can afford more mobile devices at a younger age, therefore suffer worse.

I'm no luddite, mobile devices are amazingly useful, but their effect on people has not exactly been unmitigatedly positive.

We need to find ways to balance this, in order to achieve sustainable progress.

The worst (level of nastyness * usage) offenders all probably have a reason for being popular despite their flaws:

- Bash: installed everywhere you want to work (yes, who actually wants to work on Windows ;-)

- C/C++: when speed/size matters there was no alternative except Assembly until recently

- Javascript: until recently this was the most sane option for client side code on the web (Active X and Java applets existed yes but managed to be even worse.)

- PHP: Low cost hosting, Function-As-A-Service way before that became popular, shared nothing architecture, instant reload for local development bliss

If you're using some sort of balanced tree (red-black, AVL or a b-tree of some sort), the depth of the tree is guaranteed to be log(n) where n is the number of items. If you recursively descend down the tree, the number of stack frames involved will never exceed the height of the tree.

If you have a binary tree with 1 billion elements, the depth will be 20. In a b-tree with a reasonable node width (eg 16), assuming 50% occupancy the depth will be about 8.

This is, in practice, totally fine. You won't exhaust your stack traversing a balanced tree.

A $25/TB drive is not the only expense that $5 goes towards:

* there's actually probably 2 or more HDs holding that TB, since the business is promising that the data won't be lost

* theres the computer(s) that hold that HD.

* theres the electicity, bandwidth and space rental costs for those computers

* theres the cost of employees to make sure that the computers keep running.

* theres the cost of the marketing so that you know that the service is available

* theres all the book-keeping, taxes, cc fees, etc that need to be paid on the recurring charge

* there's (hopefully) profit for the investors/owners

and so on.

Also, on your side you should consider several of those factors yourself to do the comparrison:

* how much do you consider the time spent managing your hdds to be worth? (if you're a business this is employee-hrs, if you're talking about for yourself privately, there's still a value you should attach to your own time)

* do you have backups? If so, what does it cost to put them offsite? (In terms of space rental or favors traded, and your time)

* electricity, etc

* how much is it going to cost you to learn to reliably store your data (in terms of up-front cost, time spent, etc)

* and of course hard drive costs

If you were wondering what Nietzsche meant when he said "God is dead", look no further than $60 Bibles sold by the world's most famous violator of that "don't commit adultery" commandment.

The $60 Bible doesn't function like a religious text, its just a totem for virtue signaling (or vice signaling, depending on where you stand). Anybody who buys those has never actually read the Bible.

How can I say that? Well, reading the Bible is a transformative experience. Maybe 1 in 100 read it and start acting like they've actually encountered the thoughts of God. The other 99 become atheists.

I think there's a non-zero chance that the teen "mental health crisis" is just their generations "hippie culture". Not to say there's any internal similarities between the two, but I don't think we are going to "solve" the crisis as much as wait for the next generation to have some other problem.
It's also interesting to consider the things that we are making that are destined to decline and die. They aren't agentless pieces of the environment, a company with $3,000,000,000,000 does not go quiet into the night.

If you are on the path towards decline and you have a lot of money, you can then go buy a lot of power, and then you can make the ramp you are declining down point in a different direction.

So besides the bagholders, it feels like there's very few mechanisms for society to protect itself from massive companies that faced with pressure to grow or die decide to use their money and influence in ways that are net-negative to society.

People have been bandying about "10 lines of C", but I'm curious if you know why the protocol is not "2 characters" of shell, namely ":>PATH" (ok, ok, PATH is probably something like /run/serviceName/I-B-ready). At the user (i.e. service daemon) -level this seems much simpler. (EDIT: and systemd would unlink the file as soon as it "gets the message", of course.)

There's just a 40 year culture of using some "official" lib to implement socket protocols - even if the docs suggest you roll your own. I feel like file creation escapes that "reach-for-the-official-lib TCP/UDP/datagram" culture.

It's probably not harder for systemd either if they just use/require the Linux inotify and incorporate that into its select or poll or whatever. I mean, if they wanted to be portable to non-inotify kernels some timeouts/stat-loop would be an ok fallback that would probably be rarely-to-never needed.

It sounds like it's not even hard to add this simpler channel in after the fact just as an alternative option for `whateverd` and then deprecate the datagram one for 10 years (if they even care to).

I get it. I really get it.

I am 40. A promising start in life. I began programming in C at the age of nine, before the internet existed, and found it to be my passion. At twelve, I discovered that programming could be a career and pursued it academically, earning a master's degree . Despite my love for programming and the idea of working in tech, I inexplicably chose to become a teacher, a decision I now attribute to self-sabotage, perhaps fueled by autism.

Throughout my life, I have struggled immensely with completing tasks, seeking help from numerous therapists. My current therapist has diagnosed me with autism spectrum disorder, which provides some clarity. I find myself unable to tackle items on my to-do list, consistently doing everything late, annoying co-workers because of it, and pouring every ounce of my energy into attempting to sit down and work. This has been a lifelong battle, and I am exhausted from living this way. I had dreamed of transitioning to programming, but I recognize that my struggles with task completion will persist regardless of my chosen path. This will not get better. I've tried everything. I've read almost every popular work on procrastination. I understand that my worth is not equal to my work output. I've tried SSRIs, a bunch of stimulants (Adderall, Concerta, Ritalin, modafinil, Mydayis, dexedrine), and they work temporarily, but I find myself quickly falling into the same torture wheel.

I empathize with the girl in the article who wants to end her life, as I presume she also faces these kind of difficulties with task initiation. While I am not suicidal, every day feels like a recurring nightmare. I am tired. I am very tired.
You gotta think about profitability across a larger timescale. Some things aren’t profitable now, but will be later, and if we get started on them now we can make that later come sooner.
Egypt and Hamas have a rather adversarial relationship, But let's not pretend Israel and Egypt are anywhere near equivalent.

And Israel controls much of the comings and goings of the Rafah crossing, if that's what you're referring to. Egypt doesn't want any trouble with Israel, doesn't really like Hamas, and is also not really looking forward to a mass exodus of impoverished Palestinians as it's already a poor and extremely densely populated country with its own problems.

Could Egypt do better? I suppose. But it's nowhere near equivalent. Egypt is in a near-impossible position.

> a lot of transaction data is already leaked to wallet providers (Google, Apple, Samsung) […] Note that these wallets get access to ALL card transactions, including physical card swipes, and not just those conducted via their platform.

That’s not true at all for Apple Pay: “Apple Pay doesn’t collect any transaction information that can be tied back to the user. Payment transactions are between the user, the merchant and the card issuer.”[1]

The system is designed such that transactional information goes directly from the bank’s server to your device, and doesn’t pass through Apple’s servers (unless you’re using Apple Card)

> Note that these wallets get access to ALL card transactions, including physical card swipes, and not just those conducted via their platform.

Do you have a citation for this? I see no evidence of this in the user-facing parts of the Google Wallet app, nor do I see something like that in the terms.
Yes, a couple years ago I started a few beds of saffron at home (zone 7). They're crocus, and bulbs, so I figured why not. I ordered online and planted in the fall and they all flowered that year. I went out after work and picked the saffron by hand, not nearly as difficult as blogs would have you think it is (no, they don't need to "be harvested at mid-morning, when the flower is fully open to the Sun"). Just pinch with your fingers and pluck. I harvested about 1 tablespoon (didn't weigh it), worth maybe 1/3 the cost of the bulbs.

The next year two of my three locations came back with strong leaves and offshoots, but almost nothing flowered. A big disappointment. This year I'll split them up (or maybe split up just one bed) and see what happens. Despite this, I'd encourage anyone in the right climate to give it a shot.

Also, if you're looking for easy expensive spices to grow, try bread (opium) poppy.

Do you have a source for your claim that wallet providers get access to all card transactions? Looking at the wallet, my linked cards only have the data that came though the mobile payment.
(this is a response to a comment that has been deleted while i was writing it

i am not sure what the rules on this are, but i think the comment makes an important point that i believe should be discussed, so i am reposting it together with my response (without naming the author).

if this is not ok, then i'll get it removed. if the original author of the comment has a
good reason to not have it posted, you may contact me by email (see profile))

the comment:

I think this is a feature, not a bug. The economic precariousness that the author describes is what makes the opinions of small outfits like his suspect. It's just too easy for companies to influence them with special treatment or outright payments. Reddit, for all of its faults, is hard to bribe. That is by design. We built mechanisms to intentionally cultivate diverse and redundant communities. Even if you try to control the mods of some particular subreddit, you are probably just shifting where the definitive/highly ranked conversations on a topic end up happening.

The author seems to decry Reddit as "not expert", but I think what its ascent has proven is the collective opinion of disinterested amateurs is often the best available.

my response:

that implies that every independent content producer is corrupt and only caters to the highest bidder.

how does reddit help here? each community is independent even on reddit. there are good and bad ones. a small community on reddit would be just as susceptible to manipulation as would a small community of the same size on an independent site.

and reddit is hard to bribe? well, maybe in specific cases, but reddit needs to cater to its advertisers just as well.

reddit, youtube and any other large site will only be able to represent the majority views because they can't cater to minorities that conflict with those views. advertisers won't have it.

an independent site can be completely onesided and be under the influence of some financial interest. or it can remain independent and actually represent the interests of its members in a way that reddit et al. can not.

I wasn’t aware of this new feature, but yesterday I paid for Top Golf with my Chase card. I opened my app later and at the bottom below statements and balance etc it showed an ad for 15% off Top Golf. So if this is just a little brand carousel at the bottom and isn’t sharing my data with those brands, it’s a little tacky sure but not outrageous.

They Rule is outdated, but the unfortunate truth is that there's been even more consolidation since it first went online. This is partly due to the consolidation of liquidity through institutional investors. It's one of the consequences of passive investment strategies being dominant among retail investors.

Money isn't speech and corporations aren't people. I'm fine with someone using Tor to circumvent like a national content ban, I'm not fine with someone using a shell-corp to evade trust regulation or hide their involvement with a shady industry.

> "X shouldn't get to be secret because I don't think they have a legitimate reason" doesn't differentiate between these two cases.

It does differentiate because what constitutes a 'legitimate reason' for having privacy is extremely different between the contexts. An individual human has much more latitude for seeking privacy than a chunk of capital given legal status by a contract, IMO.
Here's what I don't get... so here in the US, saffron is generally speaking, extremely expensive and rationed carefully by cooks. Meanwhile, I watch these cooking videos on YouTube and people in villages in places like Azerbaijan are casually throwing the equivalent of $10,000 worth of saffron into their tea. Granted, I understand places like Iran (spoiler alert: not the best relationship with the US) are major producers, so maybe it is cheaper in that part of the world, BUT it almost by definition is a scarce resource. I do find myself wondering if trade issues / foreign relations are a factor in the cost.

Are you talking about software and tech in general? Because that's several times lower than the average.

That's not exactly what it says:
