Atlanta has a budding tech scene. Georgia Tech is a great research institution and it happens to produce a bunch of radio engineers. I know several that work in the field of SDR / FPGA.

Atlanta is a great place to live. Super affordable cost of living, great food and music scenes, and offers a ton of things to do. It's a city in a forest -- there are so many trees it's unbelievable. There's lots of hiking, kayaking, climbing, and boating within an hour's reach of the city.

Atlanta has so much room for growth, too. People won't get priced out anytime soon.

There's a lot of diversity here, too! Ethnic, career, interest, lifestyle. You name it. Atlanta has the least amount of monoculture I've seen. There are so many different types of people here.

And I've already said it's cheap, but anecdotally: I own a 2bd/2ba 2,000 sqft condo in the city with 25' ceilings and floor to roof windows with city views. My mortgage is only $2,000/mo. It's directly on the Beltline, a mixed use running/biking trail that surrounds the city and is one of the best things about Atlanta. I run to work everyday.

I love the life here.

Come to Atlanta! We'd love to have y'all! I'd be happy to give you a tour if you come out this way.
I think this is fairly unique to CS. In physics, I had much the other experience.
Cars are expensive but aren't investments; they're depreciating assets. In Tokyo, housing is a depreciating asset too.

In the US, housing is an appreciating investment because we've made that a political axiom, and because homeowners hold political power that let them fight any policy that would make housing cheaper.
Colorado Springs. There's a handful of tech companies but they're actively trying to court more. We just got a Formstack office recently. There are a handful of grants available at the state level as well. The community is one of the most open and giving I have worked in. Let me know if you want an intro to people at the Economic Development Office or otherwise.
I'm sorry, I must not have been clear enough. I meant, why someone from SF, with perfect weather, would decide to move to Phoenix of all places.

Cheap land can be found in the vast majority of this country, Phoenix just seems like the polar opposite of climate from SF.
My wife's relatives were scared to death. the muslims had been allowed to carry ceremonial knives...they started using these on the han people. Also they were randomly injecting people with needles with unknown substances. No one was going out they were so scared. As of last year if you want to go grocery shopping or to any restaurant you have to have your bags xrayed and walk through a metal detector.

Mind you I am no supporter of the chinese government and strongly condemn what they are doing to christians now amongst other things, but those people are doing what muslim groups do worldwide and have been causing trouble in western china for at the very least many decades.

> If you structure your software simply and make it easy to reason about what is going on

Complex problems are not easily made simple or easily reasoned about. Something like systemd (or any non trivial piece of linux) could never be made simple or, with your hands down in the guts of it, easily understood.

Breaking systemd's functionality into a million separate pieces wouldn't make the complexity go away, it would necessarily increase it.

I don't know what the solution is, but "making things simpler and easier to understand" is a bit hollow. Its problem space was never simple or easy to understand (unless you think systemd just runs some things at startup).
Facebook has a monopoly on social networks used to communicate with people you know IRL.
Why don't you post a video of setting half of your salary in cash on fire, and then you get the moral right to make that statement. :)

Nobody is willing to pay the cost of that.

Not that it's even necessarily the ethical thing to do.

I think now a days, selection through the whiteboard process simply comes first to how much you grind leet code and the like.

Ironically this leads to min- maxxers who ignore a good chunk of their courses simply to master leetcode. My smartest peers are ones who work on interesting projects and research, thus never finding time to grind interview questions.

Then there are also companies that expect your white board code to compile and have perfect syntax, which imo is very unreasonable.
Reframe the question

"How do I get the girl" may work for a particular girl but is that healthy for you long term?

Reframe: what traits do partners appreciate and how do I cultivate them?

Much better, right? And the goal becomes long term "being better" instead of short term "dating girl in cubicle 7"

This also has multiplier effects: now you can be better in all areas, not just the "getting the girl" area. This may lead to more money or other goals.

Practice lots of empathy and selfless improvement. Don't focus on girl, job, monetary figure. Once you "get" them, if you "get" them, you will be lost again.

Focus on being a better person. Then you will appreciate the things you have and will have the mindset to maintain them.
Stop it.

Post-slavery US behavior is far more favorable and accommodating to human rights than China today. Your comparison between the US and China is false and misguided. Individual rights are generally cherished and protected in the US; in China they are stomped upon by the Communist boot.

This is the author. I didn't submit the article here, but I did happen to run across this posting from my GA.

Thank you for the feedback. You're right.

It's one thing to point out errors constructively, but another thing entirely to make fun. After all, English isn't everyone's first language, and I'd have a tough time writing an article like this in Spanish, for example!

I've updated the article to remove that comment, although I still (gently) point out the worst of the errors. I've also added a theoretical framework to tighten up the argument a bit.

Thanks again for the feedback. There's no purpose in being nasty when the point can be made another way.

Columbus, Ohio has the best quality of life I've ever experienced. I've lived in NJ/NYC, Boston, and now SoCal. If I could work for my company while living in Columbus, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

The injection fears, at least, are known to be just standard fear mongering and rumor during the riots, see:

Fear pervaded Urumqi; A week after the riots, stories started to spread that Uighur, or Han, depending on which side you talked to, were injecting AIDS-infected blood into random strangers in crowds. It was an old urban myth, the source of an outbreak of panic in Beijing and Tianjin in 2002, but tinged with ethnic hatred. Thousands of people queued up for HIV tests at local hospitals.

https://www.theatlantic.com/china/archive/2013/09/the-uighur...

As for stabbings, ya, knives are used for murder in China. The Kunming train station stabbings were absolutely horrible, but so were the multiple kindergarden stabbings that didn't involve Uighurs at all.
We're not exactly being altruist trading with China all these years.
This got me excited as I will soon start working on a visualiser / developer tool for a niche industry. I am looking for desktop gui frameworks to build performant desktop apps with lot of visuals on the screen. Will give Ultralight a try along with some other suggestions in the comments.

In my app there will be lot of trees and mind-map style diagrams with traced signals. These will react to user input and as there is a change in state.

There is a need to support huge monitors or a multi screen setup so, I have currently ruled out Electron and looking at building a native tool as cross platform is not a priority.

Any suggestions are welcome.

I recently came across this excellent article comparing GUI frameworks [1]. It is definitely worth a read for anyone looking at building a serious desktop app.
I have put my particular requirement in a longer format here if anyone is curious and has some suggestions [2].

What an odd thing to want to see before you die.
As pointed out by others, floats work differently from ints in programming languages. Division in ints is usually defined such that if x = d * y + m, x / y = d and x % y = m. You can make this work by choosing the right m for every d, but when y is not 0, there are a few conventions you can choose to pick a sensible d and m. When y = 0, the m = a and d is completely free, so there really isn't a right answer from how division works.

Division with floats doesn't usually have a definition like that, so you don't end up in a similar situation. Plus, floating point math can have denominators get really close to 0 and have the result of the division tend toward the infinity value. Ints don't have values close to 0 or an infinity to represent what that division would tend toward.
A lot of that was just the standard "we communists will liberate you from serfdom" spiel that they applied to the rest of China as well. Tibet was no paradise in 1950, but it was about the same as the rest of China before the communists took over, which wasn't a pretty place (allowing the communists to take over in the first place!).

The OP's comment was specifically with respect to the large number of dependencies, which can increase the "surface area" for this type of attack to happen. And, of course, we're talking about VuePress because this is a thread about VuePress. Similar complains are raised for many other Node libraries, so rest assured that VuePress is not alone in that regard.

What are you trying to achieve with that statement? Responding to an article about Muslims being persecuted with examples of some Muslims persecuting others is utterly useless. It's like responding to an article on 9/11 with examples of atrocious things the KKK has done. You're making a pathetic attempt to justify what China is doing. Downvoting you is exactly what should happen.

Rochester, NY. Very affordable real estate, many of the prime areas of the city and suburbs are served by gigabit fiber, and between local universities and industry a surprising amound of technical talent is present in the area: some recently graduated, some the legacy of Kodak, Xerox, and other older companies, and some from defense firms like Harris, ITT, etc. The quality of life is very high with good restaurants, many local parks, festivals, and strong cultural institutions (great indie cinema, and a world-class orchestra). The costs are low, and it's still reasonably close to NYC and Boston in distance and culture. Sure it has winter, but it also has <$200k Victorian homes and tree-lined streets.
Atlanta was pretty hot and humid when I visited. I could see it being OK to live in, but I wouldn't spend as much time outside as I could on the west coast.

Also, if I was going to live in a southern city with the heat and humidity, I think New Orleans would be way more exciting. I haven't been there since Katrina, but the cafes in the French quarter (and even outside of it) are almost other worldly.

Right. Also the illumination is at the bottom of the screen and hence indirect, whihc might reduce it further.
while I am not even white or from the west myself, but comparing 9/11 or extremist muslims with KKK is just idiotic to say the least. I am not making any justification for China btw, it's the biggest dictatorship on Earth, what do you expect?
Salt Lake City and Denver still rule the roost for tech jobs in that region. Boise has seen better days with HP.
I was actually going to say Madison, WI. Its a great city, and leans heavy liberal. It is undersrerved by tech, but there are a lot of very smart people and a few amazing tech jobs. Diversity is huge, and a great local beer/restaurant scene too. Of course it's a college town, so a few negatives if you're a little past that demographic. However, very affordable living especially in the outskirts, even so far as Sun Prarier, Middleton, etc.
To be honest, that line of thinking has takers in all countries today, it’s just that democracies have people who can vote against it.
Coming up with a format which is independent of your in memory structure can be limiting in some situations. A successful strategy is to isolate key persistable types in a manner that allows you to carry the old types into later versions of your application at minimal cost. This allows you to deserialize the data in its exact original form. From this point a series of transforms are used to map the data to the current version of the application. The nice thing about this strategy is it is entirely additive - transforms are added as required and chained together and old transforms are never mutated. Having said this, if you can get away with defining your data structure up front, by all means do it as there are many advantages to doing so. If you cannot (unknown requirements, large team, etc) then a more rigorous transform chain approach can be a reasonable option.

It is common practice to let vessels drift freely if no anchorage is available (congestion, depth of water) or if there's no intention to anchor the vessel. If the orders for the vessel weren't clear, it's very much possible that it was drifting a few miles off the Chinese coast.
"since eyes have evolved to also look at the sky"

On the other hand the Inuit had to invent snow goggles to prevent blindness caused by the bright sun reflected off the white snow-covered terrain. Like, actual eye damage blindness. That's been attributed to UV but perhaps blue wavelengths play a role as well.

> Note to the rich and other decision makers - no, you won't survive if the earth itself is dying, there is no escape for anyone in this scenario.

Hey, I agree with the sentiment. And still, there is virtually no chance of the Earth dying from GCC. Sure, if it flips to full Venus mode. But it's my understanding that experts consider that to be unlikely. I mean, the biosphere goes down kilometers beneath the surface. Worst case, there'd be a few hundred million years of ecological simplicity.

It enables cooperation. Human nature is such that it's hard to keep working hard when others slack, you feel taken advantage of and a fool. This way, you know everyone's doing their part.

It creates jobs. A lot of people don't have the self-control to keep from taking longer and longer breaks, either costing the company money or getting fired. Some jobs pay more to hire people that do have this self-control, but there are only so many of those people. This creates a business model that works when supplied only with the lazier employees who are left.

Another system like this is the timeclock. It's a tyrant and getting out of bed on time every morning is the hardest thing I've ever had to do, but there's just no way to run a factory without it.

Yes! Kansas City is great. Friendly people, cheap housing, and centrally located so it's not more than a 4 hour flight no matter where you're coming from in the continental US.

Hardware engineers are not too hard to find out there, Garmin, Allied Signal and Honeywell are among the substantial employers. It's also Sprint's HQ, not that that's much to go on these days. And KU is less than an hour out so you'll have a consistently refreshed talent pool to draw form.

KC could really use a stronger tech scene -- it's had a few false starts but nothing that's really stuck so far.
