The key part being "up to" and "senior team members"

All the numbers you quoted are for mid tier in SF. Yes cost of living is higher here, but the salary taps out quite a bit lower.

Three of my colleagues own houses in San Francisco. Multiple of others own homes in Oakland or San Mateo. None of us are very special people, in other words just normal ICs and people who work hard, but not endlessly.

To work as a Senior Dev in Toronto means topping out at 160k. To work as a senior dev here in SF means starting at 210k and only going up from there. That's more than cost of living differences can cover.
Those comments auto-build an XML output; it's a built-in feature of the C# compiler. [1]

There are a number of XSLT stylesheets and more complicated tools around, many from relatively ancient times in the .NET world, to generate prettier documentation from those comments. NDoc [2] is ancient but still presumably works. I last used SandCastle, whose website proclaims it shutdown and forwards to fork SHFB [3], and some of whose guts inspired DocFX [4].

As another comment points out it appears that DocFX is the latest toolset Microsoft themselves are using (it's one of a couple of build tools for the new mostly all open source docs.microsoft.com site).

Siri isn't triggered by TV in the same way. Take a look at last week's keynote where Phil Schiller says "Hey Siri" on stage and takes a pause to note nobody's phone was activated by his voice.
> This is the weakest argument. Are Python devs somehow dumber than Java devs? Are they dumber than Android devs? Are they dumber than iOS devs? Everyone knows how to sign a dependency/app/project except python devs? I don't believe that. I honestly think that's the most insulting aspect of this argument.

Nope, I think they're perfectly capable of signing things. I also think it's silly to ask them to do that when the proposed system hasn't been designed to provide any benefit. Properly designing that system is hard, and 99% of people who go "just use PGP!" or "just use X" have spent exactly zero amount of time doing that. Particularly when the proposed solution doesn't actually solve the problem at hand (though it does solve other problems if it's correctly designed).

Ultimately your "suggestions" are nothing new, they're the same generic, cargo culting, suggestions that folks who haven't looked really hard at the problem tend to make.

Look at object and capability machines.. Back before OS's became so homogeneous there were a _LOT_ of ideas that didn't map to the modern concept of a file. Some of these machines still exist. For example the AS400/iSeries doesn't really differentiate between ram/storage with its object storage, which means its a perfect fit for a modern non-volatile RAM machine. The original PalmOS, had as similar concept.

Of course all the rage the last couple years are key/value stores, which in old terminology one might call KCD (key, count, data) or to rearrange it a bit CKD, aka the technology used for persistent disk storage on IBM mainframes.

This is actually one of the things that has gotten a lot easier on the internet the past few years as book scanners have become more common. There now seems to be an effort to preserve old burroghs/whatever manuals online rather than collecting dust in peoples attics.
I thought the only reasons they offered their content for free (ad supported) was that they were competing with a major piracy site dedicated exlusively to streaming their episodes.

Google's spam algorithms are truly awful. I've had this problem on the receiving end for years. Reporting legitimate email as "Report not spam" does nothing except move the email out of the spam box. I find myself whitelisting legitimate emails over and over and over again, some of them verbatim copies of previously whitelisted emails (ie, "Your backup is completed" emails).

Google thinks its algorithms are better than me at detecting false positives on my own email account, and this is enragingly false.

Now, I periodically check all my spam to catch all the false positives. I used to get extremely pissed about this, but nowadays I just allocate time every day to the task, admitting defeat.

The Google spam algorithm simply has a mind of its own, it will not listen to suggestions.

I guess my replying here is aimed at letting you know you are not alone in your frustration.
That part was worded in a bit of a clumsy manner I think. It is in combination with not entering the passcode in X many days, as it already is with Touch ID (You may have already experienced this occasionally - waking up and randomly needing to enter your passcode instead of being able to use Touch ID).
You can also assign the site to the Container in the browserAction pop-up UI.
> I wish every browser would stop sound and video by default

Sound yes but why video?
I wonder why the dupe detector didn't catch this.
> However, I wonder. What is the technical reason for not making it default to 1 container by site? Sure that would mean hundreds of containers...but does that pose performance problems?

It would break some webpages. Also, yes, the vast majority of broken things will be tracking, but as a browser vendor you sort of need to not piss off webpage owners (which often benefit from tracking, directly or indirectly), as otherwise they'll stop testing their webpage against your browser.

Also, as far as I understand things, Tor Browser actually has what essentially is a separate Container Tab per domain. It's described somewhat more precisely here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Contextual_Identity_Projec...

> Not many new undiscovered markets exist

Uh, how would we know that if they’re undiscovered?

No, seriously - back up 20 years and tell that to the people who invested in Google/FB/Amazon. Or back up 10 years and Tell that to the folks who were going to invest in mobile gaming startups. Or how about 5 years ago - tell the folks who were starting Uber and Lyft that their markets don’t exists.
The packaging technology is not the issue here, it's about the repository. If you made an apt repo where anyone could claim an unused name and start uploading packages, you'd have exactly the same issue.
Wow, so the facial recognition is both used and trained in the secure enclave. Imagine a future where you could root your phone by showing it a picture of an artfully encoded payload printed on paper.
Hard to say, perhaps the most efficient conversion of potential energy to electricity is hydroelectric which can hit 90%, but if you put it into batteries and take it out again that drops some additional points and what ever you lose from heating the batteries. You would want to look at friction losses in the wheels, and coupling losses between the wheels and the brakes. And on the way up, you're going through the power train.

Based on the mass ratio the magic number is 69.2% to hit break even assuming you always load to 65 tons. If you load to 55 tons (15% margin of error) the magic number would be 82% efficiency.

EDIT: See another comment that the ratio is 110 tons to 65 tons, not 65 tons to 45 tons. That improves things. Total system regen efficiency has to be above 41%. That number crosses 60% when the load is down to 30 tons.
I wonder if this includes the 'Fuck you money' engineers on project Chauffeur received for passing certain milestones. Earlier in the depositions it was disclosed that Levandowski was paid a 120 million dollar bonus, though it wasn't revealed how much was given to others on the project.

That is interesting! Why can't it be applied to any other properties?
How is this less secure?

I really don't see what's so bad. To use my phone I have to look at it. So as long as it unlocks fast enough (reportedly it does) them it's a non-issue.

> I unlock it when I get it out of my pocket.

Once you look at it, it will be unlocked.

> I unlock it while lying on the table when it's facing the ceiling.

Depending on how you're positioned this maybe an issue.

> I unlock it to peek at messages in meetings under the table.

If you can look at the screen from a reasonable angle then it can see you and unlock.

I wish people would stop bashing this stuff 15m after it's announced in the presentation. Let's see what the security white paper says. Let's see what reviewers who have been allowed to use it say (they couldn't enroll at the event).

Until then this is all straw man arguments (on both sides, my comments are based on Apple reasonably delivering what they promise).
I am actually talking about quality of Backup and Sync. It's got about 90gb to upload and it's using 130% of processor and clicking it hardly shows progress because it's so bogged. Hopefully they fix soon, otherwise the selective sync is eons better than dropbox's implementation.
Yes, it's electron unfortunately. So you're basically downloading chrome with a SSH node module & some interface code. I'm not a huge fan of it either, and even run slack in browser to save on memory on desktops. But the main features I have been after we're checked with termius. One of them being the yearly subscription of $10, but if it helps keep the devs active on it, I'm okay with paying for software, especially if it makes my job easier. Which usually includes lots of time in numerous SSH sessions.
It would be far better to have user agents handle caching headers correctly instead of creating another configuration option (which will likely suffer from the same implementation problems).

cache-control: private with either sliding or concrete expiration time already handles this.

A) Women are overly criticized when they're doing anything that's a male-dominant activity. Videogames, Reddit, and HackerNews all have examples of this. Announce you're a woman, and you'll suddenly face more scrutiny for unknown reasons.

B) Yes. As it turns out, the behaviors we normalize in the workplace (like putting up scantily clad women) are part of a workplace culture.

They feel unwelcome, different, and unfairly questioned on the basis of being a woman and a woman alone. How do my examples not back up this point?
I do expect California to keep the ACA reforms regardless what happens federally. I don't expect California to regress, and I expect health care in this great state to improve over time. So, it seems like a non problem for now.

Besides, the real issue in the US wasn't becoming sick, but becoming chronically ill. That was the big problem with no escape, but ACA has helped reduce that problem.
Seems like a good opportunity to design and distribute plastic bags specifically for people poops (sort of like the bags for dog poops).
Agreed and our tooling is heavily optimised towards writing code and testing it now, not reading it and testing it 2 years from now when you trace the code into the briar patch.

It drives me crazy that in my main editors/IDE's of choice I can't just hide all traces of comments when I'm writing code until I'm ready to comment it up or that I can't layer comments, since half the languages now have annotations for everything from documentation to configuration either built in or as add-on's.

It's a lot of noise when you trying to grok just code and gets in the way.
I talked to Phil about this migration, I maintain two of the libraries mentioned in the post. I mentioned the Elasticsearch client (which I actually wrote, unlike the SQL library) in this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15241886

You can negotiate politely in that scenario and the warden does have discretion. I have gotten out of tickets that way when there were mitigating circumstances, but I was clear to say that I understood if they still had to give me a ticket.

People yelling at traffic cops aren't really negotiating, they are just releasing anger.
Come to think of it, that would make a great movie plot.

We only have 36 hours left to find The Macguffin and unlock his phone before FaceID won't work; his 75 character password is totally unguessable."

In Visual Studio, if you're distributing it via NuGet package you can send the xml doc along with the code and consume it via Intellisense (as you type it), similar to what happens when you use the .NET framework itself.

Right click the project, "Properties", "Build", enable "XML documentation file". When creating the NuGet package make sure the xml is in the same folder as the dll.

A lot of rhetoric about moving to small towns and the like falls apart when you consider having to get a new job. The number of interesting software companies in Vancouver is tiny. Ok so why not Toronto then? Well my family is west-coast based, and frankly it's actually cheaper to visit them living in SF, and I get paid fairly here.
That it the beauty of doing as an energy/energy analysis. Energy at the top is total mass x 9.8 x height, energy to get the unit to the top is unloaded mass x 9.8 x height.

The ratio will tell you how much "excess" energy you get, the efficiency of converting that from mechanical energy to stored charge and back to mechanical energy will tell you how much energy you will have 'left'.

And as long as you don't run out of battery capacity to hold energy you're capturing on the way down, the math just works.

Chicago area is similar -- you can easily get a tech job (lots of trading houses here) making 6 figures (or close to it), and get a house in the suburbs (about 50 minute train ride away) for less than 200K, or often times around 100k if you get one that is less than pristine (and these are good investments too, if you can do handyman work yourself).

With RethinkDB and Basho going out of business, it has an interesting year for databases. I think we are seeing the dawn of the new databases golden era, and the world is converging to 3-4 databases, that is Postgres, Cassandra and Mongo and ElasticSearch.
In an absolute sense, our devices are more powerful offline than they used to be. But so much of what many people use their devices to do, and so much of the time that spend doing it, are internet-dependent. So in a relative sense, being offline is more crippling in 2017 than it was in 1997.

> That definitely happens, but it's probably a tiny portion of modern device usage.

2/3 of my games are through Steam, and offline play has some complicated restrictions that I've never been bothered to remember. So much software documentation is only available online (especially considering corpora of example code, like StackOverflow). Acquiring new software is often only possible through the Internet. These are things that would've been handled by a visit to the store, or by reading the included documentation. The culture around those things has passed those methods by, for the most part.
Interesting, I'm not well read on Freud's work and the notion that he equated female sexual desire with male sexual desire isn't one I've heard before. It seems in some way (maybe just slightly) contrary to the impression I've gleaned from most summaries: that he effectively thought women were governed by subconscious sexual desires in a way that men were not. Can anyone help me out here?

On a related note, I'm very interested in his rather indirect legacy through his nephew, Edward Bernays, and insight into what Freud thought about how his nephew utilized his conclusions to lay the foundation for the PR industry.

One of the first large marketing campaigns for a tobacco company comes to mind. If I recall correctly, Bernays commissioned attractive women to smoke cigarettes in high traffic areas.
We have some simple models of not even general intelligence that ml can't do. To steal from hofstadter:. Let's say I have a function that maps two strings. I'll give you an example function. "abc" -> "abd". What does "efg" map to? And how do you train current generation of ml to solve those problems in one shot like you just did?

I don't want to knock machine learning. There's a very huge set of very interesting problems that it does solve that were basically intractable till now and we haven't even scratched the surface of applications for. But the existing techniques have understandable restrictions to the scope of soluble problem.

I would also not be surprised if the best models included current ml strategies in some way, for example, in supervisor threads or initial processing of complicated input data into semantic-ish vector valued forms.
I'm guessing (hoping?) their comment was being facetious.

Donald already pointed out that the key difference in Maven Central is a manual review process, not package signing.

If Python introduced manual review of new packages, it would either need a massive amount of resources that no-one is offering to provide, or it would immediately be a huge bottleneck on people making new packages, which the community doesn't want to do.
I can't say enough good things about the SciShow Kids YouTube channel. My four year old calls Jessie (the presenter), her "science teacher", and routinely surprises me with information she has learned there. They're a great length (usually 3-5 minutes), so you can 'tune' the time.
