Requiring High Sierra means I won't be able to give it a go within the next half a year or so. I only just migrated to Sierra... Professionals are generally more careful with upgrades, so I'm not sure if that requirement was worth it.

Apart from that, Pixelmator was an absolute steal when it was first released but I can't help the feeling it has stagnated since then. It has become buggier and requests for very basic enhancements are ignored. As an example, it still annoys the hell out of me that a zoomed in image that is not completely visible always sticks to the edge of the window it's in—good luck selecting anything at or near the edge.

At this point I'm more motivated to get to know Affinity Photo better rather than giving the Pixelmator team another chance.
What does this mean for Kops?

"Hell" I mentioned relates to the need to second guess everybody else's intentions in every single encounter; your brain capacity would be spent on protecting yourself and playing required "politics de jour" instead of working. That's a recipe for bankruptcy. Societies/companies lacking trust don't survive (alright, I know there is Oracle...).
Name the second largest attack on Pearl Harbor
One of the guys I work with has been working in NY for 30 years, his newly graduated daughter got a first job at Facebook and earns more than him in her first year.

Either
* SV is a bubble
* NY is a bad places for devs
* being an old dev doesn't pay

probably all 3
A few hundred lines of the course of four years would imply that the author is idly dabbling with Rust rather than using it in anger. (It also implies that she's been using Rust since before its 1.0 release, which would probably make it harder to get a handle on modern Rust, as it changed significantly back then.) Trust me, it won't take you anywhere close to four years to get proficient in Rust. :)
> The cost of living in NYC is as high as in SV.

The Bay Area has eclipsed NYC, at this point. Average rent in NYC is something like ~3200 last I checked, Bay Area ~3600. Depending where you live (outside of 'main' San Francisco or Oakland west of the lake) a car is also a likely requirement in the Bay Area.
Oyster Point area. See quite a few of them puttering around near all the biotech office parks.
The bar is actually pretty high. Making a system that fails less than once per hundred thousand kilometers is not trivial.
These numbers don't include substantial compensation elements such as bonus and equity.

Having said that I think you're right. Also, IMO one should not compare the median engineer in SV to the median engineer elsewhere. A median SV engineer moving to LCOL should be able to do a lot better than median LCOL comp.
Maybe sorta kinda -- just a heads-up that CosmosDB can talk multiple API protocols:

- MongoDB
- Cassandra
- Graph API
- Azure tables
- DocumentDB

I've used the MongoDB version, and it works ok for the basic CRUD stuff. I cant comment on aggregations, etc.

Not sure from a quick peek if DynamoDB does the same...
Kotlin 1.2 released with the ability to share code between JVM and JavaScript
I really hope Pixelmator follows the path of Serif folks (creators of Affinity Photo and Designer) by porting it also to Windows.

I realize the cost of this and thereby not additionally suggesting a Linux port (which would be ultimately the best). But getting comfortable with a macOS-only high-learning-curve-tool makes the OS switches unnecessarily complex.
You're expecting it to be higher? This is an average. If a startup hires 10 engineers you're expecting them on average to dole out 20% of their equity just to them?
The camera & low-level video encoding / decoding are the most device-specific quirky in my experience. If you're making something that is just "software" it's all pretty standardized, but when you start accessing the "hardware" (video codec, camera, possibly low-level audio) is where the device specific differences catch you.
Is that true? The default limit on concurrent function executions is 1000. The existing Aurora (MySQL) should be able to handle cycling through those connections without issue.
Was very, very disappointed to notice that it required High Sierra, especially given the current state of its security.

They lost a purchase from at least a serious dedicated fan, here, for that one.
It still amazes me how low the compensation is in California. I left the Valley for the Midwest, cut my cost of living by 75%, and increased my salary by 25%.
hit me up on twitter (@masukomi) or email masukomi@masukomi and i'll let you know as soon as the new version with better installer is available. Also, I'd love to hear any suggestions you may have regarding what i could do that would help people like you to get a better sense of how interruptions are affecting them / their work .
Ah yes, that makes much more sense. Hopefully they will update the pricing page with the correct values soon :)
Just use GDAX. No fees if you use limit orders.
Not every single aspect of HFT is insanely speed critical and even in non-critical areas we still don't use fixed decimal point arithmetic on principle. For example we do a lot of profit/loss reporting and analytics which are not speed critical, we write user interfaces and web apps in Javascript that work with money, so on so forth.

I will agree BigDecimal is fine to use if speed really doesn't matter, it's at least correct even if it's a nuclear option of sorts. What I really want to discourage is using fixed integer to represent some smallest unit of money, like using an int where 100 = 1 dollar, 1010 = 10 dollars and 10 cents. That is fundamentally problematic and objectively worse than using a floating point value.

But sure, if you genuinely don't want to think at all about the issue, use your language's BigDecimal. If you decide you want the much improved performance, then use a floating point value, either the IEEE decimal floating point standard or use binary floating point to represent some reasonably small unit fraction of a dollar, like 1.0 = 10^-6 dollars.

Not having a graduate degree hardly means you're undereducated.
Probably due to H.265 having much more expensive licensing costs than H.264, given enough volume. That alone might make lots of players in the industry to just prefer ignoring the new codec (and joining a joint effort for developing a new codec with more favorable licensing terms...)
Another possible explanation is that business just don't see much difference between junior work performance and senior work performance.

I have 15 years of experience (both huge companies and own startups), but I keep wondering what if it's really the case: that there's simply no difference for company success? When I hire people myself, I only see value up until mid-seniority. From there what matters is just discipline, readiness to help peers, responsibility and hours candidate can really-work.
Only had experience with Cypher, really liked it. It will be interesting to see how Neo4j responds to this. Regardless of tech specs, the fully-managed Neptune vs a community version on AWS Marketplace seems to give Neptune unfair advantage.
> One possible explanation is that our data is dominated by startups, which lean toward equity-heavy compensation.

This, for so many reasons, but mostly for two that stick out:

Startups are cash poor and options rich.
A stock option and less than market compensation aligns incentives.
That demo doesn't record anything at all here, or at least it certainly cannot play anything back. I'm using Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin (with dynamic mode on).

I agree with the last statement. I think it's best to learn basic computer architecture before learning C, which assumes a close relationship.

I took http://nand2tetris.org/ before learning C; starting from a single logic gate, you build memory, CPU, assembler, and a compiler for small language (you implement malloc and free yourself). [0]

Though some folks say it sacrifices depth for breadth, I feel very comfortable learning C now.

Is that true though? Can't comment for SF tech, but developers in the manhattan financial sector (at least at the high end of things at least as well paid with similar stresses) tend to measure tenure in decades.

I totally see iambateman's point, and agree with it. As far as inauthenticity goes, I would say that it pervades all aspects of our lives, including real-life interactions, which we can assume to be most authentic, yet at some level inauthentic (almost everyone changes themselves a bit depending on who they're talking to).

On this spectrum, the Snapchat experience is a lot more authentic and closer to real-life interactions than Instagram/Facebook, which are a lot worse multipliers of inauthenticity.
"What I think would be best is some course on how to combine OO and FP paradigms to get the best of both worlds"

If you want to find out, read "Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming". It's mindblowing. It answers that question exactly.

This is a dense but exceptionally written 1000 page book, but maybe you can just read section 4.8.5 to get an idea [1]. However, I think you will take more than just reading this bit, to understand the different models (many more than the 2 everybody talks about).

Section 4.8.7 is actually "Using different models together", with the key "impedance matching" concept.

The author sort of summarizes it here [2]

There is also a mooc in edx, but it just scratches the surface of what's in the book [3]

I don't see anything regarding discounted upgrades for people already vested into original Pixelmator.
At work, I had a client say "I wish we had software that did this." What they were asking for was little more than a Google Form with a few reporting options. So, I whipped them up something in PHP/MySQL and handed it off.

I quickly found more clients (word of mouth) that want the same software and can't find anyone that will provide it for less than $5k/yr. I work for a non-profit (education industry) that isn't really built to operate on funding streams like this, so I set up my own business and bought the rights back to my code/ip.

I'm currently in the pre-launch phase as I re-factor a bit and make the code better suited to multi-agent use, but honestly, it's something an experienced developer could code in a weekend. I'm a total hack, so it's taking time. I already have 4 clients and more calls coming in, so the only thing holding me back is myself.

This. Actual value you know, have, or are creating anyway. Many people will happily pay a reasonable fee for such things. Pros: not a gimmick, satisfaction of being an author. Cons: target of opportunity.

“We will not launch until we have safety perfect,” General Motors President Dan Ammann said

All employees hired on H1B and some other types of work visas typically have the salary and job titles disclosed in public via an LCA. given Google, Microsoft, Amazon etc usually hire hundreds of employees this way you can often get a reasonable picture, there's a few websites out there collating the data. I'm no expert and there may be issues with these numbers I'm unaware of, but for companies whose remuneration I am familiar with the numbers seem to usually be correct.

"Third party tools." Ads. They're called ads. Don't beat around the bush. Google won't fix the problem because their business is selling ads.
That's right. Make connections to databases (and most other things) the first time your Lambda handler runs, and stash them in a static/global variable for re-use on future runs. That allows you to amortize the cost of forming the connection over many executions of your function, which improves latency, reduces cost, and reduces load on the backend.
The original comment was "Rc<T> in rust is much easier to use without screwing up than the manually handled reference counters littered throughout the kernel."

That's heap vs. heap. It comes after the very brief stage you're mentioning.
AWS employee here. Just want to say that we actually had a typo in the per second pricing on launch. The actual pricing is:

$0.0506 per CPU per hour
$0.0127 per GB of memory per hour

Fargate is definitely more expensive than running and operating an EC2 instance yourself, but for many companies the amount that is saved by needing to spend less engineer time on devops will make it worth it right now, and as we iterate I expect this balance to continue to tip. AWS has dropped prices more than 60 times since we started out.

I think there is very strong evidence that replacing "red meat" in the Standard American Diet is healthier, and that is as far as the Verge is going to dive into that particular argument.

I do agree the red meat in the Standard American Diet is a health concern, but that's because the healthiest options to consume red meat in our collective dietary preferences are still going to be laden with sugary dressings or carbohydrate rich mashed potatoes. Meat always comes with additional and excessively plentiful carbohydrates.

> We’re almost always hungry or thirsty, he writes; when we’re not, we must go to the bathroom. We often experience “thermal discomfort”—we are too hot or too cold—or are tired and unable to nap. We suffer from itches, allergies, and colds, menstrual pains or hot flashes…

There's an irony here: practices like meditation make us more aware of this constant unsatisfactoriness, but they also make us aware of the crucial distinction between the mental faculties that notice sensations (e.g. itchiness, hunger, jealously) and the faculties that react to those sensations. It's like the author learned a great deal about human mental life but didn't go all the way.

Pain and suffering, for example, are not the same thing. Suffering is a reaction to pain. And one can train oneself not to suffer, or at least to suffer less. Likewise, one can train oneself to have a greater appreciation for love, pleasure, and good fortune — to really "lean in" to positive experiences emotionally, so as to get more out of them.

So for someone to make a great sweeping gesture with their hand and say that life is a wholesale terrible experience is merely to betray that person's ignorance of how experience works in the first place.

Where was it specified that lock-outs are to prevent repeated attempts? It is a plausible reason but the premise of my question (and confusion as to whether this process is automatic or not) stems from:

> ...users are locked out of their accounts _while the photo is being verified_. A message said, “You Can’t Log In Right Now. We’ll get in touch with you _after we’ve reviewed your photo_. You’ll now be logged out of Facebook as a security precaution.”

Emphasis mine.

"after we've reviewed your photo" --> FB can autotag people as pictures are uploaded. Surely they can verify face similarity instantly?

their theory subdivides the brain into "local" networks, which are tightly connected and relatively stable, and "random" global connections, which connect various local regions in a more unstable manner. they propose that there are two kinds of intelligence, crystallized / persistent intelligence, and fluid intelligence. their perspective is that intelligence is governed not by specific regions of the brain, or specific networks, or specific overlap between networks, but by dynamic reorganization of various connectivity networks

note that this is an opinion article explaining an emerging theory. the theory / field of study is based in computational network models based on data from fmri and diffusion tensor mri and other methods. they do not focus on cellular or molecular biology, genetics, etc.
their perspective focuses on brain organization in terms of network efficiency

Is this really true for more than the top subset? For instance, are there really a significant number of engineers at Oracle or Cisco getting that much non-salary compensation?
I almost think a better post would be "Learn Computer Architecture and the rest will come". For that, I can't recommend http://nand2tetris.org/ enough.
Comparing only salary comp is pretty useless. Total annual comp., outside of private equity and options, is really easy to value! I don't understand why they avoid it.

It would also be good to see a comp. curve for senior+1 engineers.
It depends on your deadlines. In the short-term, I would keep course and target a possible simplification in the automation code in the near future.

I get tons of recruiter emails, but still used Triplebyte and was very happy with the experience. Triplebyte's pre-screening speeds up the process considerably, they were also just better to work with and more knowledgeable about the job market than most recruiters I've worked with. If you have strong skills then I think they're a good option whether you have a lot of industry experience or not.
