You're totally correct - its not for everyone (just like Cardiff is not for everyone). London is a big city and comes with big city problems.

However, I'd still argue that their offer is clearly not competitive by matching London salaries since they are not getting applicants.

For what it is worth, in my personal opinion if you are renting on 100K a year, you're Doing It Wrong. I appreciate some people value the flexibility of renting though. Saving up for a mortgage deposit with £100K a year salary and equity grants etc should be no problems, and mortgage repayments are usually either equal or substantially lower than rental rates for equivalent properties. Even in London, a commute of just 25 minutes from central London [2] you can buy a one bed flat for 250-300K which is very affordable on a 100K a year salary. [1]

I predict this will lead to a lot of open DNS resolvers and CDN's getting null routed by corporations. I could be wrong, I have been before, but I have yet to see any answers in this design to prevent data leakage from corporate networks. This already happens to some degree, but is easy to spot and intercept. DoH will lead to security incidents and knee-jerk reactions.

> It's easy to come up with one-sided examples for any politician

Except unlike with Trump, with Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, Johnson, Kennedy, the nominees from the other major party who ran against those, most governors in the last 100 years, most of the Senate for the last 100 years, probably a majority of the members of the House of Representatives over the last 100 years, and probably even a large majority of state legislators...if you got into a tit for tat exchange of one-sided examples with a supporter of your candidate's opponent, you'd both run out at about the same time and each would have scored about equally.

PS: it may have been unclear, because I should have also quoted your next sentence, "That's what politics is, really - the game of (shitty) trade-offs", as that was actually more of what I was addressing.

The point was that the trade-offs with Trump are way beyond the normal parameters we've had to consider trading off before. Pick various politicians and go look up their records on fact check sites. They are all pretty terrible, but Trump takes it to a new level of terribleness.

I think your following the logic of the minimum wage laws. In this case however the wages are not fixed but purely determined by the market. Given that markets are optimizers of capital allocation, if a company cannot be profitable at the current values (relating to input and output) then it should not exist.

I'm writing from personal experience. Well, I've never done heavy opiates in a basement, so maybe going subterranean makes all the difference.
The mental gymnastics are due to the legal environment in the US and in particular on laws in many states that could send physicians who prescribe a drug for the purpose of ending a patient's life to jail.

But there are lots of drugs that have the possible side effect of death, and plenty of patients who decide that the risk-benefit of taking a drug is warranted even though it might kill them.

So therefore, everything has to be described in terms of "pain management" and "comfort" where the cessation of breathing is just a... potential side effect. If that, combined with the patient's standing orders not to intubate or perform any sort of resuscitative action in the event that they stop breathing, leads to death... well...

The euphemism that is frequently used is "palliative sedation" (or "terminal sedation", although that seems to be used mostly by people of the thou-must-maximally-suffer school of thought).
Forcing all humans to think one specific 'rational' way, eliminating all 'cognitive biases' to the contrary is definitely something people resist. Not everyone shares your world-view, value system, etc.

And "eugenics" is 'a set of beliefs and practices that aims at improving the genetic quality of a human population' [1], which is exactly what you're talking about here. There's a reason the term has fallen out of favor since WWII.

You're being downvoted, probably for the flip Tiananmen Square reference, but I think there's a lot of truth to it. The Chinese are not dumb - they know a lot of bad stuff went down back in the day, and they're not supposed to ask too many questions, and for the most part they shrug and get on with their day. I'd say the attitude is like what most Americans might think about the Kent State "incident". Yes, it was horrible, but it was so long ago and nothing like that could ever happen again. And frankly it couldn't, the bloody PLA are not going to run over students in tanks in broad daylight being streamed live in HD around the world by every drone in Beijing.

That said, there's a lot of fear in China about how long the government can keep the house of cards standing. The CCP derives its legitimacy from its successes - if things really start to go badly, there could be internal strife well beyond anything imaginable in the west. Their attempt to totally control information is really an indicator of weakness and paranoia, not strength. One would hope that if they can actually navigate the coming storms and build a genuinely healthy economy, the need for all that will gradually diminish. Of course, if they can't... well, I can see how being able to technologically inhibit massive rioting might be an appealing tool in the belt.
Oh right, sorry. I didn’t consider that use case! Definitely seems like that option should be available.
Fair point. I'd argue it is still a tinderbox and with current middle East political situation it could easily find itself without immediate allies (or at least people who don't want to immediately destroy them). If for example the house of Saud fell, it is unlikely to be replaced by anything that would be as friendly toward the US, and by extension Israel, as the House of Saud currently is.

Then you have to read part of the file, read some size fields, make a struct on the stack (for an image file??), copy the stuff you've read in already into that struct, and keep reading. And you now need to define how to pass a pointer of that struct type to helper functions for operating on a PNG.

Correct, but also just as importantly the He atom has both a higher nuclear charge and a full valence shell, which pulls the electrons in more tightly. I’d have to look it up but I believe a single He is even smaller than atomic hydrogen or at least comparable.

Edit: looked it up and yes, helium is smaller than atomic hydrogen.
I think you'd be surprised how many people smoke weed in high school. If I had to estimate I'd say that over half of my class smoked (including the class president and valedictorian) and probably close to 20% smoked on a daily basis. The parking lot literally reeked of weed every morning. Did everyone turn out ok? No but the vast majority of them did. Plenty of my aforementioned classmates are now doctors, lawyers, scientists, etc. By a number of metrics, they are successful and very useful humans.

They just wanted to say this:

> The decline in RHEL growth contrasted with the acceleration in Linux more broadly is a strong market indicator of the next wave of open source. Public cloud workloads have largely avoided RHEL. Container workloads even more so. Moving at the speed of developers means embracing open source in ways that have led the world’s largest companies, the world’s fastest moving startups, and those who believe that security and velocity are best solved together, to Ubuntu.
Any android is not the same as any android in the facility. There must be a minuscule amount of different androids in the facility compared to the world market. I wouldn't think that designs vulnerable to helium are common enough to find one in a small sample, but the fact that Apple needs the same design for their ubiquitous phones makes the small chance of this happening take a big effect.

> Just because JS is stupid doesn't mean other languages are.

This bewilders me. They keep cramming so much new stuff into JS these days - arrow operators, promises, async/await, God knows what, but not ints? I'm not asking for the whole numeric tower of Lisp languages, I can live without rationals and bignums and complex numbers. But a God's own fixed-width integer. You'd think they'd add it in the years since JS started being used for serious things.
Oh so the word for "creep" they used in German is appropriate for the metaphorical meaning of "investigating/watching"? Does the most direct dictionary translation of "creep" happen to fit here?

To each their own, but I'm not paid to work 24 hours per day, and doing so would undoubtedly affect my outside-of-work relationships and interests.

My experience is that there is not a linear relationship between effort invested and output. It's a diminishing returns problem after 8-10 hours per day, so it's not even productive for me to spend all day and night churning on a work problem, even if I wanted to do that.

I haven't had these problems with downloaded music on the iOS version of Google Play Music.

I thought it had a pretty good player app, but I'm now trying Apple Music for discovering new stuff. The Apple Music app, in my opinion, has worse UX. Good thing I'm just on the free 3-month trial.

That's a big inference. Is there not a talent deficit in London too?

Yes I made a mistake in my estimation there. Max pressure at the challenger deep is about 1,000 atmosphere, so that shouldn’t have been plural.
The dimensionality is the key part. It's not just a metaphor, it's a physical quantity. Like cheesecake, the neurological response to heroin follows a specific profile of activation. However, (most) humans find fulfillment in far more dimensions than any single activity provides.

I was trying to get to this with good versus rewarding, but it's one of those things that is so obvious when you feel it, but hard to communicate with people who haven't.

As far as drugs go though, there is a lot of personal preference involved too. For me, MDMA in unhealthy quantities is still the best that I've ever felt, and I know some other people prefer the meth high, but I don't think that's exactly what you are arguing against :)
Ya. It's sort of hard to explain to people who haven't experienced it, right? They like to ask "does not cheesecake ever taste as good as cheesecake?" and of course the answer is no: Cheesecake always tastes better than not-cheesecake. But there are other dimensions to experience that aren't captured by the immediacy of taste in that sense.
Also it's 2 lbs versus 2.7, that's a fair bit of difference.
Actually, it is how it works. You are confusing case law with what k_sh actually claimed, which was specific exceptions. There do exist U.S. constitutional provisions with specific exceptions, such as the 5th Amendment. The 1st Amendment is not one of them. Indeed, it is famous for being neither specific nor having clear exceptions.

Contrast with the Basic Law of Germany article 5, that has already come up in this discussion, which outlines specific exceptions in paragraph 2. (For another example, see article 8.)

The first gen was the first 12" Macbook. The second gen was the MBP with the high failure rate. The 3rd gen was the design with the additional membrane that was introduced with the MBP update earlier this year.
When I started seeing posts of people complaining about the price, it was mainly complaints about how the updated model was more expensive than the outdated model that languished for several years. I would argue that the new model still launched at a cheaper price but the rate of price reduction definitely slowed down enough for people to notice. Considering the first MacBook Air launched in 2008 at $1,799 starting price, that would be around $2,100 in today's dollars adjusted for inflation. Then the second gen launched at a reduced base price of $1,299 in 2010. That would be around $1,530 today. Compare that to the 2018 version that just launched for $1,199 which is still several hundred dollars cheaper.

I think the rate of price reduction in tech has slowed down enough that even though the prices are being reduced, the inflation offsets the perceived price reduction and ordinary people just get upset that Apple jacked up the prices yet again.

To be honest I think this article is making a lot off nothing. TL;DR: New models, higher prices. Keep the old models just in case someone is super price sensitive. It's not rocket science is it.
> You might be surprised how many of the real world's distributed databases are basically sharding over local databases written in C

I probably would be, most of the ones I hear about or use aren't. When it comes to data storage, I work mainly with solr. Not only it doesn't have a line of C, if you were to study its domain there is no C equivalent. development and research is available in Java or Python,
and nearest native competitors ... are also not written in C.

> Would you rather study a mature query planner or an immature one?

If I were a student, I'd rather study one that will give some idea of what people will design when I will enter job market, using tools they will use.

> seeing how the mature one has developed over time is probably more instructive

maybe, but is also less relevant for the needs of current database market and subject of research.

> It was about learning what is needed to study existing systems.

Existing systems are written in variety of languages and C, while still significant, does not constitute majority. Recently created systems are mostly written in something else.

> Or maybe some of that 99% just don't know what they don't know, and that's the essence of Dunning-Krueger.

Or maybe those who teach C stay in their bubble and missed the fact that other things not only exist, but also took over market and mind share.

> any programmer who treats "those other layers" as magic is going to be handicapped relative to a programmer who knows something about them

Only if those things have any relevance to their job. If you go 2 or 3 layers below, any relevance is lost and we keep adding those layers.

> For example, knowledge I gained about cache-coherency algorithms very early in my career has come back to me again and again in contexts that were surprising to my colleagues who were never exposed to that stuff. They just thought it was magic, but it turned out to be magic that could be re-applied at a different layer for big wins.

So you provided some cache-coherency implementation and now they can use it without knowing how it is implemented, right? And spent their time on improving their product having the cache coherency as given? As it was magic?

Exactly. Actions that spread information make the market more efficient, which is good for the business, their customers and the economy at large, if perhaps not for existing employees.

The same goes for skills/training/policy. Getting the word out that programming is a comfortable, well-paid job that requires no formal education is a huge net win.

> I think weight wise MacBook Air is not much lighter than MacBook Pro 13". But it is about 500 dollar cheaper than MBP with newer 8th gen processor.

Except it's a dual-core Y-series (same as the macbook) while the 13" MBP gets a quad-core 25W U-series, and the MBP comes with double the storage (that alone accounts for $200) and connectivity.
