I hear ya, I'm job hunting these days and it is just demoralizing and draining.... more so than work ever has been.

I do hit those ez apply buttons but I'm so tired I'm skeptical of them too, and skeptical every job being just someone leveling up their recruiter score with X resumes!

I could really go for a lot less of "I was looking at your resume" and then we talk and it is clear they did not ... ever do so. Even after I tell them about something on and and they still didn't comprehend it. sigh.

I did fill out an application form recently that was way more free form, and the application form asked me at the end what I thought of their form with just one text box and a "I liked it" or "I didn't like it" option. I never heard from them (I didn't expect to) but I still think better of their company because of it. It's the small things.
Some combination of retention rate and user count, with a heavier weight on retention, looks more optimal for long-term viability.

Daily or weekly meetings on the ‘scores’ sound like a good idea.
If you're making 110k anywhere else in the US while single and without kids, you're buying houses and cars when you're not traveling.

As a sort of tangent to your point, it is however beneficial to move to a high-cost-of-living area if you can get a roughly equivalent quality of life outcome. That is, if you can get a salary increase in line with the cost of living increase, it is worthwhile because it essentially deflates all other non-locale-related costs.

For example, the $100 shirt off Amazon is suddenly far cheaper relatively speaking. So is the new phone or laptop. Ditto, overseas trips become much more affordable relatively speaking.

I know it's not related to your original point much except that we're discussing regional cost-of-living disparities. I've just been thinking about this a bit, as I come from a high-cost-of-living country (Australia) and am considering moving overseas to locations that offer a lower cost of living (not that it's my impetus for doing said move). It's a factor I hadn't previously considered and does actually have some significance.
"Here are our books, we're losing money" is not part of the hiring pitch nor employee onboarding.
I have heard some people saying that experience is more important than a degree, while others say that having a degree even without the experience is more attractive, because it signals that you're willing to both work hard, and learn

I would say it depends on what you want, if you think you'd be more comfortable having a degree were you to apply for a job on another company, either where you live, or in the same country but different place, or even abroad, you should go for it, you'll probably regret not getting the degree later on

if what you want is simply to become more marketable, maybe simply learning a sought-after technology or framework could help you achieve that more easily, or faster, depending on how much time you'd need to dedicate for the degree (there is a lot of legacy code in Cobol for instance, telecommunications uses erlang, these aren't all that popular, and BECAUSE of that, the few jobs that use them might pay higher than the average job in programming, just to give an example, though some people would prefer something other that better pay, like shorter commutes, better life-work balance, working on something they can truly get behind, etc.)

perhaps I'm biased, because I am in a similar position, I am "taking a break" from my college program for a semester, and working full time as a C++ programmer, and I fully intend on finishing my degree, so I personally would recommend you get the degree, as it might not only make you more marketable, but also give you the opportunity to get a scholarship to pursue a higher degree abroad, if that's something that might interest you (there are a lot of scholarships that get wasted because nobody knows about them)
It won't come back to desktops because as they get cheaper the costs of people to maintain them increases.

There will always be people who need them and use them but that proportion is going to keep decreasing (I'm somewhat sad about this, but the math is hard to argue with).
Some doors will always be shut down because of your pathway. Accept that as a fact and avoid those people who value what you don't have. You'll miss nothing. The other half of the world is better and more warmful.
Yeah, that's about right. crazy thing: still not worth it if your only goal is to make money. do not get a phd to max out lifetime earnings...

>Unless you're the sole earner for a big family with bad benefits, it is not hard at all to live anywhere in the Bay Area at $117K a year.

It isn't hard per se, but it isn't good either, compared to what the same salary would buy in terms of quality of life nearly anywhere else in the country. And let's get real: "Bay Area" is overbroad. You can't compare life in SF proper to living somewhere like Redwood City or Milpitas. They are completely different experiences with shamefully small variations in cost.
What do you mean by access to machines? Like SSH access?

Do you think such a service would be significantly different to an email service in terms of privacy concerns?
elinks and lynx are completely different browsers. Lynx is actively developed and can link against recent versions of OpenSSL, GnuTLS, and LibreSSL. The latest release came out yesterday: http://lynx.invisible-island.net/release/

Lynx can render HTML5 web pages. Not sure what WebGL has to do with a web browser that is meant for terminal emulators. CSS is not supported in text browsers in general (not all of them are full-screen terminal applications) because it makes no sense - for decent text rendering, the browser needs to ignore style sheets and render in a way appropriate for text output.
Yesh I had :D
On a different note, it would be interesting to know how many respondents opted for the eGift card for completing the survey. And if the responses deviated a lot when the data is pivoted with that variable.
Requiring a full version of WebExtensions Firefox is a real deal-breaker in terms of memory hogging (that and only having an x64 Windows binary). Why not do what Pale Moon, SRWare Iron, Chrome-Opera, Vivaldi (i.e. Opera-Chrome 2), and others have done, and create a full browser based on the FF code instead of requiring a separate install?

Still, I think for all the major benefits of text-based browsing, Lynx, Links, and eLinks are still far preferable as lightweight solutions.

Heck I'll try them on my own sometime.

X86-64, SSE, AVX, AVX-512, AES-NI, etc. Their key selling point is software compatibility.

> Intel does not make [simple cores]

The cores are quite simple by today’s standards; otherwise Intel wouldn’t be able to pack 72 of them on a single chip. IME is unrelated to the cores, it’s a separate piece of silicon.

But if you don’t like the IME and don’t need backward compatibility with x86, maybe you’ll like this: https://www.qualcomm.com/products/qualcomm-centriq-2400-proc... But again, performance benefits of the architecture (48 simple cores) is questionable, GPUs are way faster for parallelizable number crunching, and you need single thread performance for almost everything else.
Government Cheese
I totally agree with you. In my case, I countered with a proposal for roughly 3x my current income, which would have maintained roughly similar quality of life, if not some minor improvement. The client balked, mostly because they're not a tech firm and aren't used to paying folks outside their primary money-making departments that sort of salary. But if they had agreed, I definitely would have moved to SF.
"As of writing in 2018, the average website requires downloading around 3MB and making over 100 individual HTTP requests. Browsh will turn this into around 15kb and 2 HTTP requests - 1 for the HTML/text and the other for the favicon."

Does "100 individual HTTP requests" mean 100 TCP connections?

As far as I know, according to RFC 2616, connection keep-alive was intended to promote making numerous HTTP requests. In fact, IME, most web servers default to setting max-requests at 100. Some are higher.

Following the guidance of the RFCs, for decades I have been using this HTTP feature to make 100 requests to a site in a single connection. That is 100 pages of HTML in one quick TCP connection. If I retrieve 3MB, it is 3MB of HTML from the website and zero from third parties. (Further, I have written filters to remove junk from the HTML and print only the content I want, e.g. for reading or to import into database. If I need to split into separate files, which is rare, csplit works nicely.)

In order to achieve this efficiency I could not and do not use a popular browser authored by ad-supported entities. I am an avid text-based web user who has no need for ads, graphics, and other external resources, e.g. Javascript. As such, I can use clients that can support http pipelining according to the RFCs. It works very well; no complaints.

Best of luck with this project.
Hey, us Davis students are having our own housing shortage, please don’t include us
I just came back from Las Vegas this weekend and chatted with my Uber driver on the way to dinner. She was a cook at the Bellagio buffet, union member (most service workers on the strip are unionized), and could very easily afford a nice home with a pool.

I actually had no idea Vegas workers were mostly unionized but apparently you can make $25-$30/hr + tips and live a pretty good life as a service worker.

Risks to the Bay Area’s continuation as an engine of growth are risks to the entire country’s economy. Local parochial interests ought not to be allowed to do that.

If we can stretch the Commerce Clause to banning growing and consuming corn or pot that never leaves one person’s plot of land, much less a state, I don’t see why it can’t cover abrogating NIMBY regulations.
I'm just waiting for the massive deadly accidents to happen when some teenager hacks the system and decides to have "fun".
As someone researching CS Education, what are your thoughts on understanding something vs. knowing how to do something (the generally accepted Western vs. Eastern education debate)? Playing music and music theory are two separate domains that help demonstrate the other but are ultimately separate domains; I think some of CS's current struggles with retention stem from which version gets taught by bootcamps and academia.
Yes, I'm familiar with the "funding people" philosophy. However, YC invests $120k, not millions.

It seems that the usual thing to do is put the wormhole in orbit around your planet or whatever. That's based more on science fiction than physics, albeit scifi by smart knowledgeable people.

I'm not sure what to think about gravity "reaching through". Gravity and the wormhole are both just curved spacetime. Maybe the larger body distorts the wormhole throat in a way that looks like "reaching through"? Certainly, you need to have some effect that causes energy conservation when you make a perpetual water wheel by suspending one mouth over another and running water through it...

> Take AMC --- again, a basic cable channel that should be nowhere near HBO's level

While for my tastes AMC is nowhere near HBOs level, I take issue with the idea that something I pay for by subjecting myself to commercial advertising should not be of equal quality to something I pay for in equal (or lesser) value in currency.
And once you're married, have kids, and need more space, the math gets harder to make work.

Ditto. And I live in Manhattan. That said, it's important to think in terms of absolutes versus relative figures. You may not save 20% of your income. But the 5 or 10% you save may be more than 20% of your non-Bay Area income.
You wasted hours of people's life for no result. You've probably misjudged the good candidates and excluded them for small details.

You should look at a people deeper. Listen to them more carefully. Try to understand what they are interested in. You don't need their resume nor tests for that. If you feel one is interested by programming, hire him immediatly and try to work with him. If you were wrong, assume your responsability.

If you can't do that, send me your candidates. I'll tell you who are the goods.

Storing Cryptocurrency: How Hardware Wallets Work
Browsh's raison d'etre is really about saving bandwidth. I first had the problem of bandwidth whilst living in Ladakh in Northern India, where I simply could not use the modern web. I expect Browsh not to be run on the same machine as the user, instead it runs somewhere where there is good internet and the user then accesses its output via either SSH/Mosh or the HTML service.

Linking to FF/Chrome's libs is certainly an option and I agree a better approach, it's just a learning curve I wasn't willing to invest in.
No offense, but why don’t you just continue to use w3m?
The Commerce Clause is traditionally a cudgel for activist judges, and the current court is activist in a way that doesn't really jive with what you're suggesting, nor any sort of collectivist-oriented jurisprudence. You're not wrong (in spirit at least), but it's just not going to happen.

> compared to what the same salary would buy in terms of quality of life nearly anywhere else in the country

That same person probably wouldn't be worth $117k outside the Bay Area. Density, network and agglomeration effects are real.
Oh! I didn't know that, I'm sure you're right. What do you think a better wording would be?
It's propaganda. They don't have the cultural tools for that (yet).
no way! (i'm glad i did it the first time, though)
You gotta appreciate the naming:

> Some data was breached. These include names [...] numbers. This affects some 21 million of our users.

I don't know what TimeHop is or does, but we're not far off from when this will mean something very different.
San Diego has more space than the bay area however good RE is super expensive here too.. One way to avert high cost is to live on a boat. Moorage fees are fairly low (relative to rent) and a boat beats most vans, cars or even RVs.. I've heard co's like Netflix pay 250k or higher, and even at that rate you'd need a spouse/2nd income to be able to afford a home + family.
The Bay Area roughly divides into two populations. One understands rental economics, is technologically literate, and refuses to vote. The other either doesn't understand rental economics (or understands it in a cynical, self-serving way), couldn't give two shits about technological literacy, and religiously attends community events.

The cost the latter extract from the former expresses itself in inflated rents. In the long run, it's probably self-defeating. But in the long run we're all dead.

The lack of any semblance of civic culture amongst technologists is starting to show its wounds, and I suspect this will have to get worse before it gets better.

Like the iPad, I mostly see this as a complementary accessory to a regular laptop, but it surface or other. But maybe that's their market, the thing you can virtually carry everywhere and in a pinch actually get some work done, if a bit painful (due to size and power limitations).

I'm actually tempted to try one out, but with the unencumbered OS version.
Yep, I agree. I only looked at absolute numbers. I built a relatively complex model of my expected income and expenses in Houston vs SF for 1, 2, 3, 5, and 10 year periods, factoring in things like annual COLA and potential deviations in things like the price of gasoline. A majority of the time, I would have ended up worse off. So I turned down the offer.
Oh it was just timing out, I assumed it was suffering from a HN hug of death but it could've just as easily been my connection :).
And then they get hit with state income tax, which the state wastes on frivolous policies and nannying. No thanks.
All source code analyzers I tried are broken. They generate too much false positive. They don't help the programmer.
As mentioned (and slightly buried) by the article, the really fascinating part is that we already have consumer bicycle gears that deliver 97% efficiency: a Dura Ace groupset is expensive compared to the stuff you'll get at Wall-Mart, but they're sold at pretty much every cycling store. I wouldn't be surprised if the Ultegra and 105 (Shimano's next two groupsets by price) were nearly as efficient as well.

2% is nothing to sniff at in cycling (people pay thousands of dollars for that kind of advantage), but there are other factors as well: resistance to stress (sprints), ease of maintenance and service, and weight all factor into the utter dominance of the current groupset design. It'll be interesting to see if CeramicSpeed can advance their design on those fronts.
Unless you’re from the area you’re going to have a difficult time creating roots here to support a family.

It makes sense if you’re single and in your 20s or early 30s but as soon as you start factoring in kids, childcare, and owning a home it gets crazy.

> People use cryptocurrency too. For value transfer

What's your evidence for this?

Even major Bitcoin advocates say it's no longer useful as a payment system: https://avc.com/2017/08/store-of-value-vs-payment-system/

Bitcoin's total TPS is circa 2-3. [1] And presumably a small fraction of that is actual money transfer. In contrast, M-Pesa, a digital money system that started about the same time and has millions of users, has 100x that volume and is growing rapidly. [2]

So I'm entirely skeptical that it's better for any significant market than even legacy money transfer methods, let alone trying to compete with newer tech.

To be fair, you chose the bottom quartile of HBO content (two of those are not even the same genre of entertainment). Netflix's best content does compete with HBO, but it sure seems like it takes a lot of greenlights just to get there.

I'm not really talking about how large of a selection either platform has, either. I don't think they should even directly compete. HBO's niche is precisely that its new content is generally of a higher bar than Netflix's (or other platforms).

Strictly speaking, Netflix simply doesn't have a show like The Wire or The Sopranos. Those are cult phenomenon (and deservedly so). On the other hand, HBO also offers greater freedom and creative control to innovate in narrative storytelling. House of Cards fourth wall breaking is the closest I think Netflix has come to this (and after that maybe Stranger Things). But the gigantic ensemble cast of Game of Thrones and the heavy use of non-linear timeframes in Westworld are somewhat unimaginable in hithertoseen Netflix content.
If it doesn't have a script/cookie manager (similar to umatrix) then it's worthless. I had the same issue with qutebrowser.
