>Don't tell me my own life is bullshit, that's ridiculously patronizing.

But it's not your life is it? You're a top tier developer in SV making $200-300K+, not some guy living the good life and saving aggressively making $60K.

>Not to mention that the very forum you linked says $60k is very possible.

This is what you said that was bullshit.

>It's very possible to live a good life even in SV/NYC on $60k/yr in expenses, leaving tons of room for aggressive savings.

Nowhere on that forum does anyone say they can live a good life in SV for $60K a year leaving tons of room for aggressive savings. It's a bunch of single people living in 1-2 bedroom shoeboxes with two roommates and $200 to spare a month. Maybe we just have large difference in our definition of good life and aggressive savings.

>Even if you assume all expenses scale by that factor, you're much better off saving $100k/yr in SV than $50k/yr in the midwest.

Yes, I agree with that. That was something I pointed out, one of the only benefits of living and working in SV. It's still no place to plant roots, even on that salary. It just doesn't pay enough. That goes back to my original point. Developers are underpaid regardless of location, particularly for a field in such high demand.

Here's some listings on Realtor.com for SF.

https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/238-Thrift...

A house the same size as mine (minus the yard) is 8x as expensive, yet a developer in SV only makes 2x more. I mean even if you buy a small little 1000 sq foot house, you're still paying 3-4x more than I am and you get less than half of the house. If you live in an apartment, you're just throwing your money away by not building any equity.

>Not to mention that tons of expenses (cable subscriptions, vacations, e-commerce) don't scale with location.

So ya, that's true but who cares? That's such a small percentage of your expenses. Like I said before, housing, transportation and food do scale with location and that's the majority of monthly expenditures, and also necessities.

Also I'm sorry to tell you but $1 million after 10 years isn't enough to retire on at 35, even in the midwest. You'll have to invest wisely or take another job or start a profitable business. Once you have a family and get older, things get expensive, even in the midwest. You still have 50 years left to live with inflation, college, etc.

>It is extremely rare that two equally qualified candidates are both negotiating offers for a single position at the same time. Your scenario is contrived and I have literally never seen it happen despite negotiating dozens of job offers.

From the hiring side?
As an American kid born along with the digital epoch of the 90s, I'm a bit of an oddity because the only social media I've ever used (& still use) is LinkedIn, which feels like sharing a room with a vipor. I have it set up with a dedicated email address and I only interact w/it in a sandboxed browser on VPN with a dedicated email address. (I guess you could add HN, StackExchange and GitHub to the list since there are pretty social aspects to all three, but I don't know if they count.)

Because I am this weirdo, I can't help being astounded at the level of comfortability people have in ecosystems like the ones Facebook and Google have cultivated. These are really creepy and dystopian models at their core. And they are not helping your damn social life! Believe me, people don't mind being in touch and coordinating through more direct means, in fact most people respond more genuinely to it.

So this is awesome right? Here's something proposing a fresh new model. Except nothing in this article/pitch addresses my concerns/issues with current social media. Like, as a paying member, are they aggregating "marketing" data on me? Are they going to try to follow me around the web and ID me with tracking scripts and under the table data trades with other players? Will they organize my data and sell it on as an "anonymized" individual profile ("Emperor {username}, we bring you new clothes. This is a magical anonymization cloak, making you invisible to any unsavory entities we sell your data to").

In fact, now I have even more questions/concerns! For example:

1) can toxic or just plain wrong information simply be brute-forced to the top with money (or digital tulips or whatever)?

2) how is this not just buying popularity and influence in a contrived environment?

3) do they cap the value of a post / vote or is this susceptible to weird bubbles?

4) if you do break the rules, do you pay to get out of trouble?

This whole thing sounds like someone's been spending a long time getting investors on board and now can't seem to remember what the pitch to the consumers originally was.
> No one else can speak, type, write, or otherwise express my fingerprint.

Neither can you. You can only show your fingerprint for inspection - and so can anyone else.

And, unlike SSN or even your name, you leak fingerprints (and facial info) everywhere, all the time.

The facebook patent clause states that you lose the licence rights to use react if you sue facebook against any patent infringement (for patents you own).

There is nothing in that saying that they have patents on react, and if they have patent covering, it very likely covers very much more than just react (because of the generic way patents are filed).

I installed the virtual desktop software on Windows XP and it was not really usable so I removed it. Linux's virtual desktops have been much more advanced for a long time.

I did like Mac's three-finger swipe at one point, but as soon as I discovered xmonad, I could see that there are faster ways than swiping. (press alt-n to go to desktop n) Also, I think OS X still limits the virtual desktops to one row, which is inefficient.

It comes down to personal choice, but for comparison, it can be a chore to learn new things when programming too, but learning those things can make using the computer better and easier in the end.

I'm not trying to convince you to switch -- just saying that Linux does have great-looking, very advanced UIs, that are not restrictive like on Windows or Mac. :)
I wonder if the finger cutter knows that...
Disagreeable people also tend to get fired more, in my experience. Perhaps it balances out, which would explain why there are still disagreeable people.
The switch killed them. Had it been an earlier or later decision the would likely be in a very different place but their indecision and delays around the direction of maemo (after they bought trolltech) cost them everything.

It sure is until you consider that now you have to maintain that endpoint and have it be constantly up or it will simply miss metrics. Not to mention the occasional network partition is outside your control.

Additionally, I would argue some sort of discovery/registry mechanism is in order anyway.

For example, Prometheus has very solid integration with Kubernetes. In this universe you have one central control plane thingy (the scheduler) responsible for bringing resources up and down, it updates the collector (Prometheus) about all the devices (pods, containers, damn we have too many terms for things) accordingly, which in turn scrapes on a best effort basis.

Once everything is hooked up like this you're basically guaranteed that applications that provide information about themselves will get scraped eventually. If they are reachable you'll know what is going on inside them, and if they are not, you'll know that too.

The advantages of this sort of decoupling are subtle and difficult to get right, but you'll be thankful down the line for having done so correctly from the get go.
> For each male hired there must be a female hired.

General grad CS populations are split 4:1 in favor of males. It won't end well when you cut out a significant amount of your candidate pool because you want to promote "diversity". Why 50:50? Why not majority women? Any cutoff would be arbitrary.
For a small dataset like that, Redshift is overkill. Especially if it's a one time thing. Redshift excels when you have (at least) TBs of data from many different sources.

Having said that - if you expect to query your data on an ongoing basis, with fresh (and growing) data coming in every day, then it's worth considering. You can run your transformations on top of raw data in Redshift. It's certainly more expensive than S3. But with just a few GBs, you'll stay underneath $150 / months.

Statement from Harvard regarding the invitation to Manning to be a Fellow
Meanwhile, in the Philippines, we embraced this 'Free Basics' concept (or almost like it). All mobile data providers here provide free access to Facebook.

<rant>
I personally blame this as a big part of why our country's government is in its current state. With unrestricted free access to Facebook, it was exceedingly easy to spread memes/fake news about how "bad-ass and cool" Duterte is and how hilariously incompetent the opposition is. And it's still going on today. It is now used as a propaganda machine, up to the point where one particular Facebook page owner spreading memes/fake news now holds an official position in the government, thanks to their 'services'.

I think this article fails to capture the importance of zero. While the idea of zero itself isn't staggeringly mind blowing, the real greatness with zero came in with development of decimal/ Hindu (positional) numerical system and zero indicating nothing in a position which led to simplicity in doing arithmetic.

For example can you think of the rules to multiply XVIV with XXV or can you quickly calculate what the result of that will be without translating to a decimal number system ? Exactly!

With the use of zero and the the development of rules for decimal arithmetic (Brahmagupta), the hindu numeral system became superior to the roman numeral system and thus led to its wide adoption (The decimal number system was promoted by Fibonacci in the west and some people consider that to be his greatest achievement).
>>that desire equal treatment for it as inferior.

The kind of equality that you are aiming for is meaningless, it doesn't exist and attempts to create this have lead to far bigger problems than they have tried to solve.

This is the equivalent of asking why we don't handover gold, silver and bronze medals to the people who came last in the race instead of the top 3. This isn't discrimination. The sheer concept of effort vs reward in human psychology is designed such that "Humans are unequal by merit of our actions"

Also the fact that some people are better than others is here to stay and not just restricted to software. Most of us are not going to be Neil Armstrong or Richard Feynman. That's not discrimination.

There is only equality of access and opportunity. Outcomes are not going to be equal.
Two decades of optimization probably account for that. From the paper:

Moreover, the top 5 languages that need less energy and
time to execute the solutions are: C (57J, 2019ms), Rust (59J,
2103ms), C++ (77J, 3155ms), Ada (98J, 3740ms), and Java
(114J, 3821ms); of these, only Java is not compiled.

That is an admirable accomplishment. JRE 1.8 has the most efficient "managed" language runtime tested.

The PHP result is interesting; they used 7.x which is roughly twice as efficient as older (5.x) versions; PHP 7 was primarily a (successful) effort to improve performance. If you extrapolate the PHP result to the old version (multiply by 2) it's nearly as bad as Perl and among the slowest/most costly. That certainly corroborates Facebook's several PHP re-implementations.
It's best for their licensing business if the market does not turn into a monopsony.

Basically, C's semantics assume too little - everything is a primitive type or a pointer dressed up to look like something else. Pascal has a stronger notion of types and this allows for additional automatic optimization where they're relevant - memory layout just happens to be one such area.

That seems like a fine thing to do as a "send a message" type thing, but doesn't seem to help patent wise?

Am I misunderstanding the flow?

1) Facebook has patents on some stuff React does.
2) (Assumption) Anything similar enough to be near-source-compatible probably runs a big risk of exposure to those same patents.
3) React is licensed in a way that you can use it without opening yourself up to patent litigation (it grants license to them).
4) Facebook infringes on some more-critical-to-your-business thing.
5) You sue.
6) Facebook sues you for using React (or Preact, from (2)?).

If you never use React you never get that patent license anyway, right? So be careful how distinct your replacement is. You'd need to analyze the claims of the patents you're worried about to see if they could still apply.

This guy seems to think the same ( https://medium.com/@dwalsh.sdlr/react-facebook-and-the-revok... ) but also doesn't feel like Facebook would ever use it, though that's not really relevant to the arguments made around the principal here.

ASP.Net Core Tag Helpers
7148SX was not truely non-blocking. It was a Clos in a box. 4 chips in front (12 ports each, and 2 in the back, each front panel chip wired 6 ports to each of the rear chips as a LAG). If the hashes worked right it was non-blocking, but taking an Ixia out of the box and clicking go on a RFC ful mesh test would give you drops. The 7148S was created after the 7148SX shipped as a cost reduced version for those that had a workload that fit the tput characteristic. The 10GBaseT version was the same 3 chip switch.

There is no huge difference.

One small detail is that HANDLE covers more things with the same table. So for example, a process, a thread, a cross-process semaphore or mutex - those are handles, whereas Unix-like systems have different types for each of those (pid_t, pthread_t, sem_t, etc.).

But then Linux started introducing fds as synchronization primitives too - like signalfd(2) or eventfd(2).

One of the more annoying things about Windows handles is there is no equivalent of dup2(2) - you can't swap the kernel object of an existing HANDLE with another existing HANDLE. This makes imitating certain unix idioms involving redirecting I/O after the process has already started kind of clumsy.

[Worth noting in a discussion of the HANDLE typedef that the type is literally a void pointer, and some user-mode code abuses that to make them pointers to heap objects instead of a proper kernel handle - for example FindFirstFile()'s handle is not a true kernel handle, which is for example why you need to close it with FindClose and not the normal way to close handles.]
The WSL is useful if you need Windows as a host system. That's not a universal need. Most of the software I use supports Linux.

I've worked with a number of brilliant UI/UX designers who use CSS+HTML as tools. But I don't think you can expect proficiency in a few tools alone to make you valuable.

It's kind of like saying, "I'm skilled with calculators." Vs. "I'm a mathematician."

The full-time UI/UX designers I've worked with in my last few jobs have never meaningfully wielded JavaScript to do their jobs. In some cases there's a little hacking for prototypes, but never any production coding.

This isn't true. Those who do more with their work experience are paid more.

We all know engineers who have been at the same company for over a decade, but have practically nothing to show for it. There is an enormous disparity between engineers.

There's a reason why Google and Facebook allow engineers to stay Senior Engineers for an entire career: most don't actually progress beyond a certain point.

Jeff Dean and Rob Pike aren't good because they've been programming for a long time. They're good because they've developed their organizational skills, architectural skills, communication skills, and excellent public speaking (this is vital as a tech lead and higher). None of those can be developed by programming on something cool on the weekend.

None of what you said actually disputes my statement; we both value experience. I'm just trying to communicate to you that extra hours programming at home might not be as intrinsically valuable as you might think.

I think you agreed nursing is gendered in favor of females.. no one complains about that.

Construction jobs are gendered in favor of males.. no one complains about that.

So if 20% CS majors are women, and 20% programming jobs are held by women why is that a travesty?

Why do we call diversity initiatives to increase the hiring proportion of one group ABOVE what is naturally expected fair rather than unfair? If they are paid less, sure we need to address THAT. But seeing they are represented as expected in the workforce, biasing your hiring process further in favor of women necessitates biasing it against every other demographic. And why does no one give a shit about diversity in other less desirable occupations?

Thats what OP is pointing out. Its not a joke. There are problems for women in tech. But there are also simply people who want to grab as much special treatment as they can get for their own group over others, when it is in their best interest. And thats why its important that people clamor so much more about diversity in <CS/high-paid profession X> than any other - many of them will support any measure that improves their odds regardless of what it means for society. At that point it becomes pure self-interest not social change for the good.
