I have a felony record. Unless your in fintech the tech sector doesn't care.
I don’t think the intent was to say that it’s easy to get a job or that people without work are lazy - just that an address is not a strict requirement.
The goal of the project, apparently, is to make a GUI toolkit in Go with no C/C++ dependencies whatsoever [1]. Of course going that route requires coming to grips with the fact that using a raw display environment requires implementing a lot of stuff like mapping keyboard events to actual text strings.

[1] I guess we're supposed to ignore the fact that the X11 server is a massive C application.

We can also just increase capital gains tax (introduce higher brackets), reform tax loss harvesting, and add some sort of annual CPI discount to capital gains so that people stop using that as an excuse to not raise capital gains
There is a chapter in the book The Contractor by Raymond Davis, a former Special Forces soldier (allegedly) turned CIA contractor (formerly State Department) that talks about how to leave a situation in your mind when Raymond was in near-torturous conditions in a Pakistani prison. I wouldn't do it justice trying to recall it, but it's similar. You focus on the situation, understand it, then you kinda "walk away" in your mind to a place you want to go.

I thought the book was much better than the reviews online made it out to be; though it is Fair Game's inferior.
It fits some definitions of homelessness. You are, for example, considered to be homeless if you are couch surfing and have no permanent address or if you are doubled up illegally with family. This is often termed "hidden homeless."

Rough sleeping is not the only situation that qualifies as homeless. A home is about more than a literal roof over your head.
> The bay area is currently depopulating.

No, it has net growth, even though it has net domestic out-migration. It's getting more populated, from foreign immigration and natural growth, while losing in internal migration.
>>I don't really believe that is all true. Grunt work is done for the requirement of survival.

I mean the work of creating and expanding businesses, aka generating capital.

If I put in work creating a new health food stand, and my competitors can easily see that I'm successful, and therefore worth copying, and then easily see who my suppliers are, how I do research on what items to add to my menu, then my competitive advantage diminishes significantly, and I will be less likely to do the work of creative entrepeneurship required to increase the diversity of goods/services offered on the market.

I recommend reading up on Paul Romer's work on the role of knowledge in productivity, and how mundane business development adds to it, which he won a Nobel Prize for:

Been down to less than 200 dollars left spanning several credit cards with wife and kids. Never will I dig that hole again.

When I am out of money I am done. Come take what you want.

Don't spend what you don't have. Ever.
I am surprised you didn't pitch it as a vacation. For example: When they ask... saying "I took a 3-month sabbatical after completing my last contract and am currently traveling extensively. I will be back in London in two weeks after I finish my vacation. However, I am very interested in the role, and would love to do as much of the interview process as possible from here".

I never meet anyone from my actual company until 7 months after being hired... So I guess that just seems normal to me...
Depends on market segement. I've seen alot of demand for Epyc in workloads that are sensitive to memory bandwidth. Just so much to offer when you max out 8 channels.

They are cheaper due to fabrication process. The PCIe lane story is stuff of fanboys. It comes at a cost, power and heat.

Secondly, anyone looking at an NVMe box should be looking at AMD in my opinion. The trick is if you are doing a VM farm, mixing Intel and AMD aint the best idea, as you all know.

I see EPYC ticking up fast.

In terms of exploits like Spectre/Meltdown, I'm pretty sure the exploits AMD claimed were not vulnerable, they ended up pushing out microcode for anyway. So its a moot point.

I HAVE come across alot of customers who have DOUBLED their core count due to Spectre/Meltdown mitigations, and they are attracted to AMDs, high core, lower cost options. But remember, the power draw is different and always test/PoC!

You'd get more sympathy without the "its for their own good" part.
I'd love to know your results privately if you would share, as I have several customers who were impacted by Spectre/Meltdown and are also doing private benchmarks.
The impressive talk/demo that Boyd Multerer gave of it at ElixirConf will probably be up here later today: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0l2QTnO1P2iph-86HHilMQ/vid...

You won't find examples of prices going down over long periods of time, but there are plenty of examples of prices remaining relatively affordable and stable.

Startup school, what are you talking about? They accepted all 15,000 that applied.

You might be right in general, but this time not for Startup School.
I agree that Matlab and especially Mathematica is REALLY nice if they have a built in function for what you need (and they do have a ton of things as primitives like graphics, audio, a single import function that can read over 100 file types...it's nuts). If they don't have what you want, Wolfram Language is powerful but so weird.
That's how I feel as a consultant here in NYC. I get whiplash when I go to SF on business.
Fiber is great. But... in my view, the key to omnipresent BB is wireless, yes 5G, sorry to grind this ax but, I do believe that is the key, particularly in a country like the USA where there are large geographic areas, it is simply not economic to cover the entire area with fiber. mm-wave is part of the equation but also, lower frequency bands (sub-6Ghz) are key. FCC opening up more spectrum (all bands) is key to wide spread BB access.
Many hotels (the ones I would want to stay in) require a credit card with your name on it, which is a credit check. Many accept debit cards too with your name on it, but I assume opening a bank account also involved a credit check.
None of this sounds like "barriers" in the sense that I need to do any of this to release a search engine. My engine may be utterly terrible, but the barriers aren't to entry, they're to competence.

That seems fine to me. You have to be better than the competition to enter the market, or have some kind of innovation that obsoletes their business method. Makes sense!
Errr why?

They come with no associated bits to hook them into the rest of the system. eg no launch/process monitoring things (start-at-boot and similar, metadata and "package info" for being able to pull down upgrades along with other system packages.

Go stuff is fine for a lot of deployment cases, but in production situations the rest of the er... crap that normal packages come with does serve some important purposes. At least on *nix systems. :)

How so?
I would add WAT 2.5: https://play.golang.org/p/gwcHh4-QhHK

func main() {
x := []int{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
fmt.Println("orig: ", x)
mutate(x)
fmt.Println("append: ", x)
mutate(x[:4])
fmt.Println("sliced: ", x)
}

Appending to the end of the slice creates a new slice and therefore the caller doesn't see the mutation.

However appending to a slice-of-the-slice leaves capacity in mutate's copy-of-the-slice to append without allocating a new backing array. Therefore mutate happy bumps the len of its slice copy and mutates the callers slice!

This bit me once in real production code when reusing a []byte array to avoid allocations. The bug was obviously my fault, but this behavior can be easy to inadvertently trigger if you're trying to avoid allocations!

Edit: fixed code formatting. It's 2018 YC, please please please implement at least a subset of markdown.
So, what's the "6 - 36 months" piece then, if they already have a workable quantum computer? Answer: they don't, and they don't know if they ever will, otherwise the time to completion would not have a totally arbitrary made up timeline. No?
Des Moines has a significant tech footprint now.
https://www.opensecrets.org/ is a good resource, but honestly (having worked on money on politics stuff for several years) none of it is that juicy in isolation. Everybody gets money from everybody. For the most part they're not scared of any particular story coming out, they'd just rather not have a "In the final days of the campaign, X for $Y from Z" story come out the day before the election at all, for any Y or Z (it looks bad pretty much regardless of who it is: banks, pharmaceuticals, defense, lobbyists, energy, whatever)
Two reasons come to mind:

1) Contract negotiations;

2) It's said because they are the face of the organization (and hence, whipping boy/girl) that their jobs are less secure than those of a rank-and-file employee. So, to incentivize someone to take/keep the job and cope w/the increased risks, they must be paid more.

*There also an age old story about a compensation study that was done by, IIRC, McKinsey that is said to be responsible for the compensation inflation that has appeared over that last few decades or so. If you search around on the web, you can probably nail down references to or specifics of it.
This isn't a matter of Mac users being "smarter"–it's just that most Windows users are accustomed to running antivirus software on their computers, and when they come over to macOS they tend to bring this over to macOS.
Great point, updating
What is fun is how hard was it for me to research some of the parts, and this is one of them.
The author just released a new book called "21 Lessons for the 21st Century". It's in my TODO pile so no comment on the content of it yet, tought you might wanted to know.
For the Ford Model T: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Model_T#Price_and_product.... About 16 times as much in 1913 as in 1909 (170,211 vs 10,666), so about a doubling per year in that period.

We would need per quarter data for he Model T, though.
Ignoramus et ignorabimus
Is the code online somewhere?

It really sounds like there was something not-quite-right in there. Might not be too hard for someone with time + clue to spot it. :)
Why would this be relevant in this conversation? Sounds more like gossip than prime HN material to me.
He said "synchronous" (synchronized by a clock), not "sequential."
>Ultimately, since I can't go wrong with X and I can go wrong with Wayland, the choice was easy.

Keep in mind that Wayland has been designed by people who've been maintaining X11 for years.

>it also offers no mode that would work over a network

X11 has a huge number of issues when it comes to network transparency. tl;dr is: it's not designed for this, you should use a proper remote desktop protocol instead. More info:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWQh_DmDLKQ

>Of that, EGL even requires Mesa and thus Cgo.

That's not true anymore. You can use the DMA-BUF protocol instead of wl_drm. I'm not sure how to export a DMA-BUF without Cgo though… But that's a different issue. If you're going to use the GPU you'll probably need Cgo anyway.
GTK2 apps used to work fine over a network. On a LAN connection there was almost no difference from local. If your "modern" toolkit does things the stupid way around and just sends entire bitmaps of changed windows per update, rather than using the core protocol or XRender to redraw the window, that's not X's fault.

Wayland is pretty much a project whose unstated goal is not only to raze X to the ground, but also to salt the earth where it once stood so that none of its core principles survived the transition. That's why the security reasons are "inane".

It would be possible, and desirable, to design a secure X server with zero alterations to the X protocol itself, and most clients wouldn't know the difference. But again, security isn't really the goal. The goal is to destroy X so thoroughly that no one builds anything on top of X, even from a conceptual standpoint. Otherwise they wouldn't have gone to the trouble of deliberately eliminating network transparency, server side rendering primitives, window managers, etc.
You can disagree without offering a solution. His comment was with the aim of addressing the underlying problem. OP could get a dev job tomorrow and lose it within a week if mental health issues impede his ability to function on a team. Your parade isn't as important as OP's predicament.
This reminded me of another article I read about this company: https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2018-04-27/wework-ac...
Their value is predicated entirely on the perception. Select quote from the CEO:

>"WeWork isn’t really a real estate company. It’s a state of consciousness, he argues, a generation of interconnected emotionally intelligent entrepreneurs."

Riiiiiiight.
> Human ecologies are healthier when children who grow up in a place have the option to remain, or to return after exploring.

You obviously didn't grow up anywhere near where I did. I could easily buy property where I grew up, but there's no opportunity for me there, other than as a remote worker, and I don't prefer that. I get more value out of paying 3x what I would for my 2BR apartment here than living there.
I hate doing this, but because this is sensitive, I have copy pasta-d the HPE Customer statement from our Customer Presentation on the issue:

HPE, along with all other server vendors, is starting to see supply constraints on various Intel Xeon-SP processors—commonly referred to as Skylake—used in our Gen10 servers.

–Intel is supply tight on Skylake SP HCC, Skylake SP LCC, Skylake SP XCC, and Skylake W LCC processor series.

–Customer demand for various Skylake server processors is exceeding short-term supply.

–Intel is working diligently to increase supply but indicates limited ability to materially improve Skylake availability potentially through December 2018.

I’m sure there are plenty of ways to physically implement logic that don’t rely on mostly-2D silicon transistor chips. Perhaps some of those pathways, once sufficiently developed, will have a higher upper bound on performance

I think in the near term we will see micro fluid cooling tech developed for more fully 3D chips. The human brain is a pretty good model for what that may look like
GNOME and KDE have working support for remote desktop. Weston supports RDP. Sway (and other wlroots-based compositors) have been working on protocols to support it.
Intel did not have a lot of competition in recent years so why design for maximum yield when you can just slap a high price tag on the thing? AMD on the other hand needed to assume that they would not be able to compete in raw performance so what's left is being as cost effective as possible.
If it's power then it should be Watts or milliwatts, but the way the article is written doesn't seem to suggest Mick ignores the difference between power and current; he clearly knows that.
I'd rather like to see power banks advertising their current capabilities in A/h than thousands of mA/h. 20000 mA/h is becoming as ridiculous as would be monitors expressing their screen sizes in attoparsecs;)
A bit off topic, but could anyone recommend a good site for job hunting (development jobs) in NY?
Interesting argument, with a broken premise. There's still debate on what level of consciousness animals have [0]. Is a cat conscious enough to predict that tomorrow it will have less food and save some for tomorrow to avoid feeling that hunger? Does a human have that degree of consciousness to do exactly that? Can a human differentiate itself from an animal by deciding to act instead of reacting like I proposed? Isn't that the one of the key differences between humans and animals?

You know that animals are known to eat their own young [1]? Do you think its a conscious decision? Or they are just on auto-mode like a person that is less mindful is?

SGI stuff is already rebranded to the apollo name and Superdome Flex (UV300 I think it was before)

Depending on your SGI server, the name may have gone into the appropriate HPE family name.

If you need help with our new decoder ring, I'd be happy to point you in the right direction.

I expect HPC workloads to take advantage of AMD chips, but I do expect many of the mathematical improvements that the Skylake instruction set provides to amplify desire in the computational HPC/numerical computation/ non-GPU stuff.
Thanks for sharing man, I hope it gives you hope that so many people are engaging with your story. I'm from Iowa so I know how brutal the winters can be, can't imagine what it's like without a roof over your head. Fortune landed me in San Francisco at the right time, but it wasn't so kind to my brother. He's making ends meet back in Iowa, but just barely.

The advice I would offer is self love and hustle. Anytime you hear that voice saying you fucked up, acknowledge it and let it go. Today is a new day full of opportunity. Have you tried grabbing gigs on Upwork or Freelancer? If you've got the chops, most gigs would pay well enough to get you rent in Iowa pretty quick. Keep your chin up, and keep hacking!
As I originally heard it the Fed or HUD(?) started moving towards guaranteeing subprime mortgages, and the AAA rating idea took off from that. The Fed issues bonds that are risk-free, so brokers extrapolated government buying of a few subprime mortgages to low risk for all of them.
That’s the academic paradigm. Now imagine if you had no control, as an individual, over the number you see. In that case, it is always a thermometer.
Most of the projects are straight forks with no additions, or puerile flatline dumps of boilerplate - generated structures with little to no meat.
I don't want to put anyone down, he's obviously in a tough situation, but I maybe would've left the GitHub link out, it doesn't add anything (positive) to the story.
It'd be interesting to monitor Firefox vs Safari using e.g. powertop. Using Linux, I get excellent battery life using Firefox. But it might be the case that safari is still much better, or that it behaves differently on macOS.
Moving to a larger city with a tech focus will allow him to sleep in a rented tent on the sidewalk. This is a lot more economical.
These two claims conflict:

You can disagree without offering a solution.

Your parade isn't as important as OP's predicament.

You and the other commenter are offering nothing of help to the OP. Your entire focus is on taking me down for some reason.

Meanwhile, my opening comment offered actual resources to try to help the OP. If you think that addressing his problem is the most important thing here, then you could do the same thing I did and leave comments aimed at being helpful instead of comments aimed at shooting me down.

Why? The point about it being antisocial and inconsiderate stands on its own.

The point about it being for their own good is separate, but still valid. Too many people end up with long term health problems from sedentary jobs, and a small amount of physical and social activity at lunch is all some people get.
Missing that out can be quite detrimental in the long run, from depression, lack of motivation and migranes to bad circulation and consequent RSI problems and other health problems.

I've suffered from some of the above even with not eating at my desk and taking breaks. Some of the people I've known who basically didn't move for 9+ hours a day had some horrific health and mental problems, and because people often minimise the dangers I'm deliberately bringing them up. They can creep up slowly over the course of years, which makes them insidious and underestimated. Being "so busy" you rationalise eating at your desk is symptomatic of a more general lack of care which needs sorting out.
> Also, a big part of an individual’s platform preference boils down to things like conventions, look + feel, workflow, etc. By using electron one is tossing these choices made by the user in the garbage bin in favor of whatever the developer feels like supporting or what the designer thinks would be fun to design.

Other multi-platform toolkits do not do better. They all violate platform's conventions. QT, Swing, GTK and co do have their own look and feel and conventions that do not match the platform's they are in, so I don't see how worst the web is in that aspect. Don't single out web techs on that specific aspect.
Painting pays little? Good painters and a lot of other "low skill" kuch pay 35-40€ / hour, if you deliver a good job.

I don't consider it a low skill though, it's being handy. Something I am not, so respect them. They build your home that you pay a loan for. While some of us get paid for apps that cost 1$ with a ad supported free version and that gives a 30% commission to the platform owners.
That's the idea behind Esperanto's 4096 core RISC-V CPU. It's run by Dave Ditzel and the creator of BOOM CPU.
From the sounds of it, they had plenty of cities lining up to get Fiber from Google. I would assume that, at least in those cities, they wouldn't face too many regulatory hurdles. So, what's stopping Google from expanding into the willing cities? Is it the expense of digging up all that last mile infrastructure? Is that the limiting factor?
Indeed, that's why one of the go versions (I don't remember which) added the capacity as the third argument when "slicing."

I think there's something to this argument. If the Bay Area had good public transportation, and not this mess of 5+ non-coordinating, independent systems (BART, AC Transit, CalTrain, Muni, VTA, etc.), then people could live in the East Bay (or wherever) and work throughout the region. As it stands, since I do live in the East Bay, there's no practical way for me to commute to the South Bay or Peninsula in under an hour and a half driving or 2+ hours on public transportation. That locks me out of a lot of jobs, but, in my case, there are enough tech things going on in SF for it to be worthwhile.
Dead people can’t file complaints
Your post is spot on except, I think, for the point about any other major manufacturer being able to make the switch over to a screen based interface. I think that's far from clear. Building the whole user experience from navigation to climate control to the app on your phone to control everything remotely requires a very different skillset from the firmware type development that car manufacturers are used to. This might be one of those things like when smartphones appeared and makers of feature phones found that the whole game had changed from making great hardware to making great software. Elon Musk talks about a marketplace for apps to run on your car, which is a bit much, but integrations with smart homes and solar systems for power management or first class car-to-car communications could be key differentiators. Software is a totally different game.
