Ditto. My dream role would be to take off and work remotely for a month here and there, as my wunderlust dictates. Maybe 1mo AirBNB: 2 weeks working, 2 weeks PTO traveling with my wife. That kind of thing.

The nice thing is, you can pull this off on a tourist visa.
"I am so sick of women and people of color being openly hateful to people who were born the "wrong" gender and color to be part of the unfortunate many."

Really? So now being born white and male is the "wrong" color and gender? Those are identities that are near the apex of privilege in our society. As a white man, being afraid to ask questions for fear of being unintentionally racist or sexist is nowhere near comparable to the actual experience of racism and sexism. God forbid we hurt a white man's feelings while discussing social justice. That would be a true injustice.

The whole reason I am bringing this up is because I have done 70+ hours of focused work on many occasions.

It's a more-than-linear improvement over 40 hours, because when pro-rated you have a lower density of context switches, getting-back-up-to-speed, etc, as happen in the morning or when you eat or such.

Maybe too many people have done long-term damage to their attention spans via the internet? I dunno.

At the risk of being mildly provocative ... are any of the people you know, who can't do more than 40 hours of work in a week, world-class in their field? If not, maybe there is a causal link between these two things?
I think that most people who are opposed to AMP aren't against it for personal reasons as much as for what it does to the open WWW. If you give up your long-term freedoms for perceived short-term personal convenience, you will end up in a worse place. If you want news with a consistent interface, there are apps for that -- the open Web shouldn't be destroyed for the rest of us in the process.
Salaries without location is does little useful; I would argue it harms more than it helps anyone.
Searching around, it looks like even light smoking is still bad. Not as bad, but still bad.

"Light and intermittent smoking carry nearly the same risk for cardiovascular disease as daily smoking.... In addition, the risk of ischemic heart disease in light-smoking men and women aged 35 to 39 years who smoke 1 to 4 cigarettes per day is nearly 3 times that of a nonsmoker."

FREE NULLED SCRIPTS NO BS
No Python programmer would say that it's "simply [an] opinion" to prefer using "for __ in __" to iterate over a list instead of indexing it using integers, even though the two constructions give you the same result. English isn't any different. Words carry "out of band" information, and good English speakers and writers choose words carefully to convey the intended extra-lingual meaning.

None of the reasons I gave are "simply ... opinions." They're based on the rules of the language. First, English has specialized words for people and things people do, and we use those words in preference to their generic counterparts unless we are purposefully trying to dehumanize the subject. It's not necessarily wrong to use dehumanizing language. Consider the word "human" versus the word "person." They basically mean the same thing. But "human" focuses on the biological species, while "person" also implies things like legal status and rights. So we might talk about humans migrating to North America 10,000 years ago, but we say that several people transferred to Google's California office from New York.

Second, "female" and "male" are typically used as adjectives, and it is weird to use them as a noun ("weird" being by definition what people don't typically do). It's not wrong (the Oxford English Dictionary does recognize that the words can be used as nouns), but it's weird, especially when there are perfectly good nouns to use in their place.
Articles with way more comments than points are automatically penalized. With almost double the comments, this seems likely.

This article probably did get flagged by many people as well, since it did seem more like a political fest than something that gratifies intellectual curiosity.

The whole "flag bad political articles that you disagree with" tends to even out in the end. Both US sides are well enough represented here that both left and right things get flagged. HN just tends to have fewer political articles as a result, and that's fine with me.
Honestly, looking at the list and knowing how much people get paid at Google.(from personal experience) I found the salaries to be quite low in total compensation.

You don't know the cause of his death. You're making that up to score a political point, which is exactly the wrong spirit to comment here in.

I asked you to not take this thread into political battle, precisely because healthcare is political and the National Review even more so (the site is normally banned on HN for that reason).

It's possible not to reduce every conversation to a repetition of the same talking points, but it takes an effort, and that's the space HN is trying hard to inhabit.

Perhaps, but I'm not convinced they're bugs in your code.

When I said it wasn't production ready, I was referring to the ecosystem (using xwayland, GTK apps etc). In my experience this isn't quite as good. As an example: searching in Firefox is glitchy (dropdown menu), resizing apps (even apps such as urxvt) in Sway is a bit glitchy during the resize etc. I'm not sure how many of these things have been reported. The default mouse wheel speed and mouse speed seems to be odd, I think I need to read up on the documentation to fix this.
But if there is 1 job in a 30k town and 100k in a city of 2 million, then the salary of that 1 job doesn't matter much for an average salary calculation.

For the profession of software engineer, most of the jobs are in the higher salary bands there should have an outside impact on the average calculations.
The developer(s) of this may really want to rethink the name.

Not only is it pretty un-googleable due to other, older results likely taking priority, it's also likely that a potential customer accidentally lands on a website full of malvertising. That aside, the word "keygen" is probably morally negative to many people.

The technology looks fascinating, however.
Rich people has always had large influence in politics. Being rich means commanding a lot of resources, that's literally the definition. Having a lot of resources makes you influential. It's not the only way to have influence - one can be poor or average and still influential - but it's definitely one of the ways. Pretending that something - be it "Citizens united" decision or anything else - created this situation is extremely naive and ignores the whole human history and history of politics. Wealth, influence and politics are always interlinked, at least in a free lawful society - in a totalitarian one, property means nothing, and resources are distributed in other way, so influence is gained in other ways.

All that said, money don't matter as much in politics as some of the propaganda tries to tell. They are important, but they are not everything. There are numerous examples in US history alone where the candidate who spent the most lost, and the candidate who was the richest lost. By now, there's enough money on each side of any issue that the money on the sides is no longer the issue.

As for student debt etc. - this is the result of applying "feel good" solutions without considering the economic consequences. If you inject a huge stream of money into education system by providing unlimited federally supported loans, you get the prices go up, and you get the debt. And if you support home ownership and wealth accumulation by home ownership, house prices necessarily skyrocket and newcomers get priced out of the market. You can not have one without the other.

Not to mention with something like salary folks tend to "inflate" and pump up their numbers.

Just a quick browse through this, and the fact that it claims to be "bootcamp" grads, the data is really really skewed upward IMO.
You got the opposite vibe from that paragraph than I did, but assuming you're correct about what happened:

Why should the onus be on the minority to be required to have a conversation with everyone who comes up to them and says something ignorant?
Too many companies IMO pay "based on location", which would mean that the person in Detroit gets about 20-30% of the Bay Area person doing the same work. If you make $100k a year in the Detroit Metro doing computer stuff that is still non-management, you're doing fantastic. For $1m out there you can get a literal mansion. In the Bay, you can get a totally unremarkable single-family home on a street with a bunch of people who can barely afford their property tax bills. Houses in such neighborhoods in Detroit are about $10k and you can literally buy property by the block in some areas.
A lot of this is Silicon Valley. It probably translates to a lower standard of living than what you have.
Woah woah, that is not true! `gun.val(cb)` performs a real dynamic read, you can even uncomment the `console.log(val)` to see it printed in the debugging console (although note: `console.log` has terrible performance, so don't have it on when you are actually benchmarking).

Other javascript databases and even other regular in-memory databases do similar benchmarks. We (both them and us) note at the bottom of the article that: "Take all performance testing benchmarks with a huge grain of salt." Which is why we have our PANIC tests (see my other comments on where to find them and how to run them, let me know if you need any help).

There is nothing unethical about our tests (and they are not the only tests), so /please/ call me out, but please don't misinform other readers that the op is a static function, that is misleading and damaging. Is there anything specific I can do to alleviate any concerns?
That would still be very high for London/uk

> The more I travel and the more places I experience I've come to the conclusion that density matters. A lot

I live in an 8-storey high building in an Eastern European capital, and about a couple of hours ago my gf called me telling me she had gotten stuck in the elevator. I was still at work, my work is 20 minutes by foot from home, but not 5 minutes pass and my gf calls me again telling me that a neighbor had helped her get out of the elevator. So, now I know that at least one of my neighbors (whom I don't even know) would be kind enough to get me out of a stuck elevator if I'd ever need it. Also, the small talk you usually do from time to time with your neighbors helps a lot when you're living life as a single person, had I lived in a suburb instead of a very dense neighborhood after my divorce I would have had an even worse depression.

>>The capital city of Sofia is brimming with ISPs -- last time I checked, at least 15 companies with good coverage, fiber, and very affordable ($7 to $20 for 100Mbps ingress and egress) connection services.

Sounds like a domestic sector ripe for consolidation. I hope that doesn't happen for the sake of the consumers, but that seems like an overwhelmingly large number of players for a total market size of only 1.7M subscribers[1], which is even smaller from the census figures of roughly 500K households.

>These topics can be particularly tough to ask about because it isn't an oppressed persons job to be an "oppression explainer". I thought his recognition of this was very respectful.

If you leave it up to the oppressors to decide for themselves how to make the world a more inclusive space for you without your input, I don’t think you can expect better results than what we’ve had thus far.
I think because a lot of people don't know Travis personally (including myself) it's easier to not empathize with what's happened, especially if you've never felt the same loss, because he's essentially reduced to this ephemeral figure rather than an alive person. I don't know if I could be friends with Travis based on the news I've read, and I wouldn't choose to work for his company, but I still feel for him on a base level.
There's a variety of points that would be interesting to compile against. Sex, immigration status, school, company, developer experience, managerial experience, number of startups, number of relocations, average years in any one position, number of children, to think of a few.

I'd like to give you some HN formatting tips, if I may:

Add two new lines for a new line. Otherwise the formatter will put your text on the same line (eg. with your list of files, it looks like one big filename now)

italics work by putting asterisks (*) around the word or phrase. Though maybe you meant to use underscores in this case :)

Best wishes!

That's why. This list is very US-centric. The disparity between metro US and metro UK is indeed that high.
Damn, too bad they don't accept .ac.uk addresses :( I feel like there should be a standardised way to ensure users are students/affiliated with an educational institution (maybe an international federation on top of SAML a la the UK Access Management Federation).

I guess at the end of the day the NSA want students in the US, who are likely US citizens and thus eligible for a job.
> Are you not aware that there are thousands and thousands of active Marxists in the US who proudly call themselves Marxists

Yeah, I've been involved in coalitions where some of the members were Marxist. That doesn't make labelling generic leftist action as “Marxist” any less of a false label and attempt to to use the emotional loading of “Marxist” in the wider society as a technique of poisoning the well against leftism generally.

> It's not poisoning the well to call someone a term that they voluntarily adopt for themselves.

It is, on the other hand, poisoning the well to use a label adopted by a small subset of a broader group to refer to actions of the broader group generally, when that is done specifically because of the negative emotional loading in the target audience of the label I question. Which is, at best, what is at play with the use of the term “Cultural Marxism”.
Depends on the company.

Everyone on HN makes $200K+, drives a BMW and has a supermodel for a partner. Whenever salary comes up, there's always someone here who knows someone whose brother's girlfriend's room-mate makes $400K at Google, and therefore it's normal for a Software Engineer to make this much.

Yes, I agree. I had ten years of experience before I got my first remote job. It was with a contracting company. The clients needed to know they could trust me (this was nearly a decade ago, when remote work was less common) and I needed a track record I could point to, complete with multiple software releases in various fields.

In this period, I learned a lot about remote collaboration and the importance of communication. A lot of people go on about tools like Slack etc. but in my experience, the phone is still the most important tool. And good desktop-sharing software like Webex, of course.

Eventually I got tired of contracting and took a remote job with a Very Large Silicon Valley Company. Crucially, to get this job, I needed to point to both my depth of experience and my time as an effective remote worker.

So in my opinion, to start with it's important to work a normal go-to-the-office job for a number of years and successfully ship software.

This article was a straight-up dupe of another submission of the same article.

Even if it hadn't been, though, the 'significant new information' test—i.e. the lack thereof—would have made it a dupe. Otherwise we end up with a front-page of Uber Uber Uber the same way we had Snowden Snowden Snowden in 2013, with the discussions always the same.

Awesome writeup! This goes right to the printer :)
I'm no fan of Uber(Interesting how many of comments either start off with this sentiment or include it at some point of time), but as a human being, I can't help but feel sympathy for Kalanick for his situation.

Looking at some comments that treat this as a comeuppance of a sort is disturbing[1]. We really shouldn't use anthropomorphization of a company to justify inhumanity in us.

9! * 9! is not the number of boards, that is a bad estimate. If you don't account for symmetries, rotations, re-numberings and other things, the number of boards is 6.7e21. Even if you could check a full board in a nanosecond (which you can't) enumerating that number would take more than 200,000 cpu-years.

The paper linked to in the OP's article says: "Due to the sheer number of sudoku solution grids a brute force search would have been infeasible, but we found a better approach to make this project possible. Our software for exhaustively searching through a completed sudoku grid, named checker, was originally released in 2006. However, this first version was rather slow. Indeed, the paper [1] estimates that our original checker of late 2006 would take over 300,000 processor-years in order to search every sudoku grid."

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1201.0749.pdf

The estimate in the comment (9!*9!) seems to be implying a simple enumeration, not a complex strategy of symmetry-folding. But even if you do reduce the enumeration, the authors of that paper say their software requires 800 CPU years. I'm not making any claims about whether getting that down to a day might be possible, but I wish you good luck. By all means, show everyone how to do it with a proper implementation and a large cluster! ;)
I also find people's breath smelly on public transport.

Also...
Smoke is a mixture of gas and solid materials, while
vapour is a mixture of gas and liquid.

I think using precise terms in a debate brings extra clarity into it,
so instead of inventing poetic proxy terms, like e-smoke, let's just use the more commonly understood word "vapour" instead.
