I think the biggest problem with COL is the fact that COL is a very personal matter.

Here in NYC, most college graduates (programmers or not) share an apartment with flatmates. If you're a programmer, as long as at least one person in the apartment has a non-minimum wage "office" job ($40-50k+), you can live quite comfortably and save a lot unless you decide to live in a penthouse. An average apartment in many areas of Brooklyn split among 2-3 employed people is very affordable.

Even if you want to live alone it's not so bad, but my point is that before someone can decide if NYC is too expensive for them or someone else they should ask more than just their salary.
The way I've often described this to people is that at some point I got off the merry-go-round and I haven't a clue how to get back on. This was (and remains) a turning point in my own depression, which is why it's interesting. Prior to that I felt like I was holding on to something for dear life, then at some point 5-10 years ago it became a feeling much more akin to the above. "Nothing adds up" is a great way of describing it. I also sometimes say I feel like I'm living a in mirror universe where nothing makes any sense.

And I'm speaking as someone who deals with this every day, not as someone who's recovered and is looking back. Recovery isn't possible anymore, unfortunately. I guess my advice to anyone is if you're not as far along as I am... Don't get off the merry-go-round. You really can't get back on.
It's analogous to "functional" and "object-oriented". They're both popular buzzwords. One has been beaten to death and sometimes implemented poorly enough to gain a bad rap. The other is still new enough to serve as a vessel for software people to pour in all their vague hopes and unrealistic dreams.

At some point, the new hotness will be the old tiredness, and the cycle will repeat.

I can see it both ways, because you can also choose who you spend your time with, and different groups confer respect to different things.

>When I say serverless, I’m referring to the function-as-a-service pattern. A serverless system must scale dynamically per request, and not require any capacity planning or provisioning. For instance, you can connect to FaunaDB serverless cloud in moments, and scale seamlessly from idea to runaway hit.

Serverless apps run in reaction to an event such as a web request or a file upload. In the serverless model your app has functions that run in response to these events. The classic cloud model is you pay for a server or container that is constantly running.

Its kinda equivalent to a timeshare condo vs renting a condo. Your functions only run when they are called.

> I never install Python packages outside of a virtualenv.

Global site-packages is all fun and games until someone loses an eye (or a dependency).

I had a fun learning experience with a large Python package once while trying to mix and match dependency versions, simultaneously trying to avoid clobbering the ones already installed by pacman. Without a virtualenv, it quickly becomes impossible to guarantee you won't break something in the process of installing something else. I never made that mistake again.

Here's Tesla's supplier list.[1] Tesla makes the battery, motor, aluminum stampings, and plastic parts. They also now make their own seats and some of the circuit boards for the electronics. Everything else (steering, brakes, wheels, etc.) is outsourced. Makes sense; that stuff is standard.

It's hard to feel passionate about this either way for me.

Yes workers should be able to unionize for their own benefit but at the same time what Tesla is doing is much bigger than the individual. The company is at a crucial moment, they're about to scale up for their first consumer priced car.

This is the first time I've ever heard of discontent from Tesla factory workers. It seems very calculated, but at the same time I have no knowledge of working conditions.

My point is basically this: the average is being extremely skewed by survivorship bias, namely, White and Asians who attended elite schools. I assert that getting the salaries noted in the article is especially unlikely if you're on the other end of the spectrum: Women and minorities from non-elite schools.

MD means medical doctor. Wages among doctors are far more predictable.
The problem is what "baseline" means. For example, a multithreaded program will always run slower than a single threaded one on one thread by definition. It has to do work in order to coordinate the threads. Obviously, this doesn't mean we avoid multithreaded code.

In this case, the software being tested was explicitly written to manage the coordination of data on many nodes, so why is the definition of "baseline" a single laptop? Seems specious.
More than a decade later, Rebol (and its newer offspring Red red-lang.org) are still in regular use on my team.

A particular convention has been adopted by nearly all distros, the Python project and the Python community. That convention is better than Arch's, because it is backwards-compatible with the large body of Python 2 code that exists.

Arch's change angered many in the Python community, and broke a lot of code. That Arch refuse to adopt the established convention, because it would involve admitting a mistake, shows a distinct lack of professionalism.

>I'm open to thoughts on how to practically do this math. It's very relevant when considering job offers in other cities.

As another reply noted, it's really about the absolute numbers. The number you probably want is after tax take-home after deducting some amount for retirement and other savings and any significant debts and do the comparison based on that number. Yeah, so pretty much your disposable income.

NIFs are the fastest method to call external code from Erlang/Elixir, as far as I understand. But I wonder how high the actual overhead is.

My understanding is that if I still want to ensure that the Beam VM can continue to schedule all processes efficiently, these NIFs shouldn't calculate forever, but return quickly to avoid blocking all other processes. So the straightforward way to ensure this for longer calculations would be to split the calculation in smaller, parallelizable jobs, if that is possible. But then the overhead of calling NIFs might actually matter, if you split them into chunks that are too small.

I've no idea how big the overhead actually is, I'd be interested in a rough estimate. Is it small enough that I can just ignore it entirely?
Doesn't lambda have hundreds of thousands of requests for free? Also, the convenience of lambda counts for a lot: no set up or maintenance.
Mostly the Erlang mailing list. http://erlang.org/mailman/listinfo

As an Erlanger, and maker of a NIF -> Rust library I wasn't allowed to open source (sadly), I can tell you I think this is excellent. My current science project is trying to rebuild some small components of BEAM and the Erlang Runtime System in Rust that are currently in C.

Mostly the above is an exercise in understanding the internals of BEAM better, because my ideal end state is to figure out what it would take to make an Erlang/OTP-like library for Rust (with task/thread/process/whatever preemption)... which is actually what originally drew me to Rust 3-4 years ago back when it was shaped more like a systems-Erlang (task supervision hierarchies, etc) and less like a renovated-safe-C/C++.

The problem with the analysis is 'similar lifestyle' when compound interest is your friend. Living in a much nicer apartment in SLC has minimal extra costs as the gap from a large 1BR to 2BR in SLC might only be ~250$/month.

SF is a great place with dual income no kids. Less so 1 income and an infant. But, much worse when you have young kids. So, in just 3 years and possibly another kid, when it's going to be much harder to swing that tiny 1BR in SF without feeling really cramped.
FWIW you can also use Keyboard Maestro to solve this problem.
The correct way to compare software A and software B is to benchmark both on the target platform/hardware they were respectively written for. Afterwards, do a cost-benefit analysis.

edit: (accidentally hit the submit button early).

I don't think people should leverage highly distributed software for small workloads, for the same reason they shouldn't write highly parallelized code for things that run perfectly fine on one thread. But the test, while well-intentioned, seems to miss the mark.

You, or you and a partner? Do you work in finance?

I'm having trouble with my idea of average dev salaries and zone 2 prices equalling comfortable (i.e. nice amount of savings and disposable income after mortgage payment). If non-finance, I must be really out of touch with London salaries. I had an email today offering "up to £50k" for a devops position at a web agency...risible.
I took a tour of the tesla factory and our tour guide (who was a factory worker) said all factory workers are free to join the UAW. He said most don't because tesla has better wages and benefits. Guess he was blowing smoke up our asses????

Sure, except that by that metric, Tesla is a wildly inefficient venture. If your objective function is to reduce global warming, without any care about collateral damage to human quality of life, then a bioweapons company is a better choice than an electric cars one. So we have to assume that the objective function for Elon is a bit more complex than that.

Tax deductibility of mortgage interest is essentially renters subsidising homeowners.

Some countries in Europe do it, and the EU is not happy with it. I'm personally grateful they're shoving the repeal of this tax deductibility down the member nations' throats (very very controversial measure). Homeowners have a stranglehold on politics because renters don't vote enough :(
> We need another word for what is described above. Most people understand ordinary depression, because most people feel down sometimes

No we don't, it's called depression.

What we need is people to realize that depression is not 'people feel down sometimes.' That is feeling down. Depression is not something that you just work through, it is an actual, real thing going on in your brain.

But hell, most people act like armchair psychologists so ya, lets create another term that they'll also misuse.

No set up except for the API gateway interface and the lambda function itself, as well as any IAM roles or policies you want to put in place.

No maintenance except for watching for throttling by AWS, watching your billing to ensure it doesn't go out of control, watching for API Gateway errors.

I consider this an unpardonable failure of basic market research. If they had spent a quality hour of their time investigating the Nigerian market, they would have found out that inflow overwhelmingly dwarfs outflow.

Makes you wonder what their decision making methodology is
What if the macro-economic situation changed? A competitor got a strong edge in a winner-take all market? A break-through technology emerged? One of an infinite number of unforeseeable circumstances arose that required a greater than 25% workforce cut independent of any careless management? Requiring a year's severance for every employee cut in such drastic scenarios could easily make many companies insolvent.
Risk is a spectrum. The higher the wage the more incentive to automate. It is not always cheaper to automate, but if you push wages above that point...

What's preventing those new jobs from being done right now? We already have all these unlimited needs and infinite desires right now, but we aren't willing to pay a minimum wage for them at the moment or we would be doing so. Also, there clearly are all kinds of personal services possible which are bought by a few of the rich but not en masse - there is not a demand for them, and for the average person probably cannot be, i.e. if a service is nice but people would value 1 man-hour spent on it as 0.99 man-hours of their time, then that service can ever be in demand only for a wealthier-than-average minority.

Yes, it's possible that some new habits will create some new professions in time, however, for the short term (e.g. the next 5 years) such new occupations won't create millions of jobs (e.g. because unless right now millions of people would be preparing for them, the people won't be ready so soon) while automation will put millions of people out of these jobs. Who knows to what equilibrium it will come out eventually, but in the short term the labor supply will be dominating over demand and the price (and perceived value) of labor will continue to fall.
This actually increases my desire to use Shopify, really. Not because I like Breitbart (I consider it to be drivel like most other news sites), but rather because if even they won't be booted off Shopify, it's highly unlikely that I would be.

This is my instinct as well. The timing, tone and language of this feels pretty scripted here. I don't care if Tesla unionizes or not, but they may just trade one set of problems for another if they do.
there's a spectrum of sexuality which expresses itself in different ways to different degrees in different people /= sexuality is [almost] invariably mutable

Especially when the argument over mutability is usually framed as "people attracted to the same sex or inclined to gender nonconform are bad influences on others and they can and must adapt their behaviour to conform to social norms" vs the argument that it's imposing the obligation to change one's sexuality that causes some people psychological harm
hi sandGorgon. I agree with mhluongo on this. If you want to do things like transitive closure or connected components, you fall in the 2% section above. However, if you want to encode graphs for message systems, a simple table with parent-id might do just fine. Wrt jsonb: if you only do key->jsonb tables, you might want to consider another kind of system. Nevertheless, we've got millions of trajectories, connected to millions of annotations (links to trajectories with semi-structured jsonb), and combined with some GIN indexes, it works pretty well.
Agreed, especially RE shenanigans. I'm remote most of the time, but in the office this week, and small things like telling stories at lunch make a difference.
There is huge cash flow to rural areas. The problem is the same infrastructure is cheaper when shared among large groups. You need more road per person when people have 80 acres vs 0.5 acres.

Further, things like farm subsides, rural health care, and even poverty programs are just huge money sinks.

IMO, it's important to separate things that must be in rural areas vs. things that are more expensive because they are in rural areas.
