Chariot is private so can span multiple cities, counties, etc without a problem (for example, Palo Alto is 2 counties away from San Francisco)

Chariot had a lot of smaller busses, like the size of those airport parking lot shuttles.

Personally, I'm really surprised at this. Chariot seemed to have a lot of corporate accounts (for things like shuttles to/from CalTrain to Company X), that I would have guessed they could charge a premium for.

Yes, no argument from me there are different skill sets, I used C as an example - insert SQL/Python etc.

I think the main reason is, as I said, supply and demand. There are more people who want to do front end, I know a lot of graphic designers who are now calling themselves front end developers cause its cool :-).

So imho you could divide front end people into two groups (and I'm painting with a very broad brush), those who fiddle with HTML and CSS and are front end developers, and those who use things like Angular, jQuery etc and know about async etc.

Agents in general try to get the price down, so your job is to put yourself in the second camp as a rare commodity that can do the more exotic things. In my experience many (most?) agents don't have any idea about what they are recruiting and have a check list of HTML/CSS/... - they're a front end developer, I can get them for this much etc. Personally, I'm not sure how to go about this (I call myself a full stack developer, cause its easier to negotiate decent money), but I'm sure someone on HN can give you an angle, good luck.

Edit: one thing I've noticed is adding Typescript to your languages makes you look more serious and gets better dollars, so pop that in if you can
> Stack clashes are protected with guard pages.

Guard pages are necessary but not sufficient, as I think you would agree with based on the rest of your comment. I just object to leading the otherwise thoughtful comment with the absolutism about guard pages (trivial to understand and implement) that ignores the necessity of getting the fiddly bit (stack probing) correct.
As one of the engineers affected by this (Goddard Space Flight Center) I could not disagree with you more strongly.
I felt like the kind of micro optimizations that a tiling window manager gives you aren’t worth it in the long run.

There is a bus that does that route. It follows El Camino (35-40mph most of the way) from San Jose to San Francisco. I used to take it as a broke college student and it was absolutely a last resort. Not only does it make dozens of stops but the bus is generally dirty and a hangout for transients. It ran 24/7 and took well over 2 hours each way, so homeless people would ride it basically all day.

Given Julia has macros, so it will definitely catch up to R and data.table in terms of syntax (if it's not already there). I am more thinking about performance, e.g see https://h2oai.github.io/db-benchmark/. It shows that Julia is lagging behind on group-by (and from my experience many other operations) when compared to R's data.table.

Although I have done some work to make thing fast see: https://github.com/xiaodaigh/FastGroupBy.jl. I have yet to update it to Julia v1. Hopefully, I will get to that soon. However, the improvement I have made only works for grouping up to 2 group-by variables and I need to learn more about generated functions to make the code more generic. So from my (someone who's actually spent time trying to optimise these data operations) perspective, Julia will take a while to catch up. Hats off to the data.table crew!

Not acting is always as much an action as doing so, if you consider actions abstractly. In this case I don't think it deserves stating.
I saw this growing up as a millenial absolutely, I saw it throughout years 10-12 considerably as we were doing mock job interviews and planning our year 11-12 subjects based on our proposed career prospects.

You feel pressure from your peers that if you don't know exactly what career you want and know exactly how you are going to get there, that it's a problem.

You are pushed to plan early and to do well, it's only when push comes to shove when you are neck deep in year 12 exams and the prospects of your University entry scores are near, that the school insists that University isn't the only option, and that you shouldn't be stressed because your results don't define you as a person. It's only then do they say that.

For me the stress comes down to this, we are told to plan as early as possible. So that if I do these subjects for years 11 & 12, and I get X mark, I will most likely get into X University, to then graduate and get a career in X, which will provide me with a fulfilling career/life of achievement and success. This is the baseline, this isn't just the overachievers, everyone has this idea.

Any hiccup along the way in this process and you feel immense stress and anxiety that you will not be successful and happy. Because your entire schooling/education has led up to this moment, and as a teenager you are none the wiser that it isn't the end of the world, because it can sure feel like it.

I should say off the back of this that I was lucky and I was able to achieve a successful career, through the path of University.
> visitor accessible, payment system. And more realtime bus information

These do exist: purchasing fares via the Muni app is pretty straightforward and services like nextmuni.com and similar apps can tell you when the next bus is coming.

Frequency is definitely subpar though. When I first came to SF, I was supposed to meet with a job interviewer for dinner in a place at mission. The subway train took 30 minutes to show up!

Great work on this, it looks like a great project. Right up my street with open source. For me personally the price vs specs [1] just don't make this viable, considering you can get a Rockchip board for half [2] the price and with better specs. It's also pretty open source [3] too.

I'm really excited for the iMX8 though. It looks like it has much better specs, and if they can remain as open source and hobby friendly as the iMX6 then I'm all for it, even if it costs slightly more.

I've seen a lot of startups that have success in SF struggle with NYC because they treat it like the same kind of city. Between the half-dozen mass transit services operating in and around the city, a robust network of express commuter buses (both public _and_ private), dollar vans and gypsy cabs, there is an extremely robust transit network here - even if unconventional at times, and maligned with delays at others. By comparison, despite having roughly comparable density within the city itself, transit in SF just sucks. I'm not surprised they never gained much traction in NYC. Via seems to fill the niche Chariot would be trying to occupy, if we're looking for a direct startupy comparison, and Via additionally operates outside of commute hours. NYC has some kind of "legacy" provider for most kinds of problems, everything from on-demand delivery of food and goods 24hrs to transportation to light laborers and most of the other trendy app platform services.
Absolutely great post and analogy but might be lost on those that started some ways already up the hill as they probably have little to no idea what the bottom parts of the hill are like.
Ah yes, that is true. However Julia is tackling a harder problem in that the speed lag is presumably due to optimizing for custom element and table types.
I'm not sure what you mean by saying it's harder to"advance your current socioeconomic status". The Economist article I linked to gave evidence that people's purchasing power has been and continues to be increasing. In other words, stuff that was expensive for average people not so long ago is affordable for them now.

If "socioeconomic status" is defined as income or asset percentile, then that is inherently a zero sum goal. For someone to go from the middle third of Americans by income into the top third means that someone in the top third has to go into the middle third (or bottom third).
Curious if you ever benchmarked your approach vs, say, going through `Array`/`ContiguousArray` (I think these are slated to converge eventually, FWIW) and using the [`withUnsafeMutableBufferPointer(_:)`](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swift/array/299477... calls?

You've gotten into a place with a lot of unidiomatic designs--direct pointer access on COW types, etc.--and it's not clear how much is really necessary:

extension Array where Element:CanDoMath {

// instead of this style:
func sum_outside() -> Element {
var result = 0
let p = self.pointerToStorage // your "get the pointer" method, I think it was just `p`, too?
for i in 0..<count {
result += p[i]
}
return result
}

// how does this compare (in -unchecked mode, at least)?
func sum_inside() -> Element {
return self.withUnsafeBufferPointer() {
var result = 0
for v in $0 {
result += v
}
return result
}
}
}

Going the `sum_inside` route for bulk operations makes it easier to remain idiomatic, keep COW around (assuming you want it), benefit from `var/let`, and so on. The only obvious concerns are (a) relative overhead--did you ever benchmark that?--and (b) alignment.

For (b) if you're planning to call things that need particular alignments then as far as I know you will need to write your own storage at this time.

It's correct to describe Chariot as a midpoint between buses and Uber/Lyft. Buses operate on a fixed route that takes years to change. Chariot was minibuses with more dynamic, niche routes.

But like any mass transit system it needs a critical mass to break even. And they faced heavily subsidized competition on both sides.[1] (Buses subsidized by taxpayers, Uber/Lyft subsidized by VC.)

and make his essays very interactive

The essays have some hyperlinks in them, how could audio be as 'interactive' as that already is? It seems you mean something other than 'interactive'.

Anyway, I don't see what's "just" about reading someone's essays - it's my favourite thing in life. People like Hazlitt, Stevenson, Chesterton, Santayana, Russell, Emerson - and, yes, pg - I think he's a great essayist, my favourite from recent decades.

I've never been into audiobooks. I tried a few years ago - but all bad, terrible pronunciation of names, usually inappropriate US accent, etc. I hear there are good ones, although that was just novels. Also, when reading, I like being able to stop, think about what I read. (Not like a read-aloud story where the storyteller's pace is usually fine) Being able to stop at the end of a sentence, and repeat it, or repeat paragraph, or page, would be good.

I used to have tapes with hours of famous poets reading their own poetry - Yeats, Eliot, Plath etc - they were so awesome. Then when you read their other stuff, you can hear it in their voice. It's like that e.g. reading Rorty after watching a lot of video of him speaking, I can't imagine not having heard/seen him.

Jevons paradox states that increases in production usually cause an increase in demand, and there might be similar effects here: The availability might make it more socially acceptable, which in turn might increase the demand, and therefore also the demand of original productions.

It's comparing today to the '60s and '70s, of course it looks good by material standards:

>These measures better reflect changes in household welfare. Bruce Sacerdote, an economist at Dartmouth College notes the poorest quarter of households in America had 0.75 vehicles per household in 1970 compared to 1.4 per household in 2015. In 1960, more than one third of households in the bottom quarter of the income distribution lacked indoor plumbing; by 2015 virtually all households had indoor water and sewer systems. Microwave ovens have spread from luxury to ubiquity alongside mobile phones—microwaves are now owned by 97% of households.

Sure, it's great that we aren't dealing with Cholera outbreaks anymore, but that's not what people are talking about here and it might come across as a bit insulting and disingenuous to point to the fact that indoor plumbing is now available to people living in poverty as a counterpoint to skyrocketing wealth inequality.
Forgive my naivety, but I feel this is down to the earliness of the ecosystem and infratructure. We are getting more and more validation of relatively simple use cases (CryptoKitties) in combination with the current state of the art in dapp tech (Metamask provider, Ethereum’s 10s block time for finality, centralized exchanges and early decentralized exchange).

Once the blockchain tiramisu becomes less like a delicately constructed interaction of tech and more like a modular/mature stack, perhaps the UX barrier to entry will be low enough to reap the network effect.

I'm not too familiar with game development, is that unusual? It's pretty natural in other forms of software development. In user space, you mostly wait on system calls (e.g. select, blocking read/write, thread synchronization primitives), and in the kernel that usually translates to another process being scheduled. If there's nothing to be scheduled, you hit the idle loop, which, roughly spoken, halts the core until the next interrupt. Sometimes you need to poll a device that does not signal completion with an interrupt, or some locks may actually spin (for a while at least) before sleeping, but, conceptually at least, I'd almost call those exceptions to a rule.

Counterpoint: chronically stressed children are left with frantic nervous systems and don't learn how to self-soothe. Being chronically stressed for tens of years is incredibly damaging to a body and mind.

matatu just means taxi or something like that (it actually comes from 'three' in Swahili because the conductors used to yell "give me three" at potential passengers). they are absolutely no fun to ride since the operators pack them to the brim with people and other cargo (animals too) and they wait until full to take off (so sometimes, for infrequently traveled routes you end up waiting hours). this is all to say nothing of being in terrible disrepair. here is the taxi park in Kampala http://photos.wikimapia.org/p/00/00/37/50/05_big.jpg. each minivan is a matatu.

Then what are people taking about here? People in this thread (and society at large) are saying life is getting harder over the past several decades, but conspicuously absent are measurements that demonstrate that this is the case.

People can afford better things, are provided with better services. Post taxes, less people are in poverty. Post taxes, and adjusted for purchasing power, less than a fifth as many people are in poverty. This directly contradicts the original poster's claim that it is easier than ever to slip into poverty. The shore, to reuse his metaphor, is not shrinking. And yet, many seem to harbor the idea that it is. That's the mysterious aspect.
