A long dismissive text about how kids, and people in general, don't know how to “use computers”. Overall, the author is right, they really don't know, but instead of approaching the topic on how to make computing more accessible, he takes pride in his knowledge (that most people lack), and tells the folks what to do (along the lines of forcing your children to learn programming).

He also mentions how Microsoft lobbied the idea of Microsoft Office being computing itself to British schools. Well, it's the same in Russia, and not just in school. For many, using MS Office is the most important skill. I never understood that. It's a very niche tool, no?! And it's very hard to use, I still only know the very basics of office suites.

Mysteries to revel in.

The worst hobby

Bad things happen when you combine the self-affirming nature of beliefs with a habit of consuming lots of morally-charged content.

Many people make a daily routine of consuming large quantities of highly partisan content about “what’s going on” in “the” “world.” Enthusiasts of this hobby call it “staying informed,” and insist it isn’t just a personal habit but a civic duty.

This content consists of new beliefs (“news” for short) about what happened today or yesterday, presented with an authoritative tone and little moral ambiguity. They identify clear villains and clear implications. They often give instructions from hand-selected experts on how smart people should think about this.

An index lookup requires three steps: (1) the tree traversal; (2) following the leaf node chain; (3) fetching the table data. The tree traversal is the only step that has an upper bound for the number of accessed blocks—the index depth. The other two steps might need to access many blocks—they cause a slow index lookup.
