I think this is generally true for average developers, but this probably doesn't apply for a senior engineer with 10 years of FAANG experience. They will be able to command a Silicon Valley salary anywhere in the world. But only if they work remotely for a SV company. You're probably not going to get this kind of salary if you work remotely for a company based in the UK, Canada, or Australia.

It's also true that many companies try to get away with cost-of-living adjustments, but you can find plenty of companies that don't do that. So they can just keep looking until they find a great offer.
I don't think that's right. Apple are consistently late to the party as far as Safari goes. I mean, they don't even support web push notifications yet, while other browsers have been supporting them for years. It's down right annoying.
Indeed, since the days of the Gutenberg press. All new tech heralds the end of times.
Does a comparison of miles traveled even make any sense when there are huge differences in speed of the vehicles you've listed? People are more likely to commute 60 miles by car every day but with a bike they'd only commute up to 10 miles. Just by looking at the miles it's not obvious which type of transportation is safer.
Endurance sports, by its very definition, implies the availability of time. You can't be an Ironman competitor if you don't have hours to train every day.
Chrome and Firefox performance should be closer, at least in Chrome 72 and 73. I think the comparisons may have been done without trap handler support in Chrome (virtual memory tricks for fast memory bounds checks).
No reason for this other then simply not having a request for it (until now) :).

After some quick Googling, it sort of appears everyone uses this protocol differently with different payloads (I could be really wrong here and would love if someone were to weigh in here). For example Google Talk servers require you to define additional XML which includes a token, where as other services just require you to send the sub/pub standard XML. These differences in payloads would make it difficult to build a simple URL with (while following the current convention).

So rather than support XMPP, maybe it would be better to create a notification per service you want to attach too? Did you have one in mind?

> Is there a name for this sort of statistical error? Because it's everywhere.

Yes. It's called not understanding Bayes' theorem. Bayes' theorem is precisely about how the probability of "B, given A" (P[B|A]) relates to the probability of "A, given B" (P[A|B]). In our case, that would be "rich, given love for endurance sports" =/= "love for endurance sports, given rich". It is immediately obvious from Bayes' equation that the two are, in general, not the same.
Time tracking features are similar, I believe Wakatime might have a couple of reports more and git commits integration.
For now, CoderMirror supports only Jetbrains IDEs while Wakatime has impressive support of IDEs and editors.

In CoderMirror data is stored locally in a SQLite database, so there is no limit to the data range you have access for free.
Because of that, you can always write an ad-hoc query or export to the tool of your choice for further analysis when default reports don't match your needs
(I'd be very interested in hearing what kind of reports developers need).

The focus of CoderMirror is on collecting data that can support a methodical continuous improvement effort. I try to create reports that give objective data for personal retrospectives to measure what works and what doesn't for you.

Along with time tracking collects data on what libraries you used and creates personalized quizzes with spaced repetition that attempt to deepen your understanding of the libraries you use.

This is in early stages and limited to Java projects and is the area where I want to focus in the future. Currently there is material for Java standard library, Spring framework, JUnit, etc.

>only that most of the people who love endurance sports are rich

That sounds totally compatible with the article being titled "Why Do Rich People Love Endurance Sports?".

It doesn't have to be most or all of rich liking endurance sports. It's enough that endurance sports are mostly liked by the rich.

The article is not titled "Why do MOST/ALL rich people love endurance sports".

In other words, X doesn't need to be a characteristic of most rich to ask "why are rich drawn to X" -- it just has to draw more rich than non-rich.
I haven't but thanks for the pointer! Right now I'm using a non-adjustable IKEA Bekant (I missed the height adjustable one by mere weeks but couldn't wait).

I've never understood the near and actual addiction people have to endurance sports. Most are not healthy, marathons make for a great Facebook or dating profile, while damaging your body. yesterday I was talking to a guy that is doing a 24 hour bike ride with limited ten minute stops, I kept my mouth shut but seriously wanted to ask if he thought that was in any way healthy. He was telling me about a 32 hour ride he did previously. There is no way that is great for long term health. I guess damaging your kidneys and ending up in a wheel chair because your knees are destroyed is worth it, because bragging rights.

I'm not saying having some endurance in various physical activities is a bad thing, but there is a trend of people taking it to extreme levels for show. Besides the physical downsides over time there is probably a mental health component that should be addressed.

How will reaching the end of Moore’s law cause a crash like this?

Do you mean that future requirements will outstrip capacity? I don’t think this has been true for some time, we run a lot more systems and tend to scale horizontally; doubling compute power every n period isn’t a hard requirement imo.
In the machine learning world, this is the equivalent of overfitting to the training dataset. You can have a model overoptimized to the data used for training and it craters when used in production because the production data has maybe drifted over time, or the training set was not representative for a range of reasons. This is why early stopping is often a good idea when training models, rather than getting the most optimal model for the data being trained on.

Cool, thanks. Was thinking of the newest LG models, probably a C (rather than B) line one. The new tax year is still a couple of months away though!
This.In ancient times rich people were pale and that suggested they didn't have to work. Poor people had tan. It's the same now - If you've got time you can train and have photos of you running marathons in different places in the world each month.
Even if you destroy religion, the underlying drives that created religion in the first place will persist. The religions will just be less recognizable as religion, taking on a more secular flavour. Instead you'll end up with stuff like conspiracy theories, political ideology and pseudo-science taking over.

One of the nice things about science is that its members keep their religion and their scientific work separate. It's particularly noticeable when you look through the history of science. There's a long tradition of secularism that has benefited the religious and the non-religious alike.

Issac Newton, for example, had very unorthodox opinions about God and the Trinity. To become the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge, he needed a get a special exemption from King Charles II, as traditionally the chair had required that you be an ordained Anglican priest. It's that very same exemption that Newton got for his unusual religious views that allowed Stephan Hawking to hold the chair as an atheist.
Is it still called stock manipulation if the bug is critical and for real and the company deserves to lose shareholder value simply for the critical nature of the bug?

A Jupyter Notebook from the Future
Very interesting article. I'm upper middle class and really like strength training, but not in a bodybuilding kind of way. I don't want to get big, I want to get/keep reasonably muscular, for the reasons stated in the article : the older you get, the more muscle you tend to lose for natural reasons.

For that goal, I like calisthenics. Push ups, pull ups, bodyweight squats, planks, that kind of stuff. It's extremely cheap (only needs a pullup bar) and can be done anywhere, even when traveling. I can't think of a cheaper sport, I don't even need a pair of trainers.
+1 to to this, also people on the internet are crying bloody foul over the Bekant as well though it's more about the electronics that come with/build quality I think.

Uplift was a fantastic desk to use while I had it
Yeah, the New York Times article at [1] lists the things that go into that number, including: $578 on extra clothes and shoes, $235 on entering other races as practice, a $130 gym membership, and $210 of sports massages.

This wasn't someone trying to keep their costs to an absolute minimum.

> In conditions that need Goretex water will inevitably enter over the top anyway

That sounds right for water, but definitely not true for snow. I don't run when it's deep on the ground, but even a little can splash onto the uppers and then soak through. It's like running through shallow puddles half the time, not fording a stream. I know from experience - maybe a thousand miles of running in New England winters over the last few years - that Gore Tex and similar barrier fabrics avoid that problem quite well.

Those same shoes usually come with high-traction soles (both materials and tread pattern) which are also essential in those conditions. And of course they're warmer. Winter running in summer shoes would be a recipe for freezing, blisters, or injury around here.
So - what is the conversion rate from the number of YouTube subscribers to [whatever] ?
Hmm the salaries listed don't make me think "rich people". When I think of Rich People, the sports are Equestrian, Mountain Expeditions, Sailing.
> A good pair of running shoes costs $100,

For what it's worth, $100 spent as disposable income is not really affordable for a huge percentage of the economically-not-well population. In other words, $100 is a lot of money for a lot of people.

They provide an upgrade process that makes this invisible to the end user, so it's not a fair comparison. If it started deleting tables when I exit a session, that would definitely be a strike against it.
I'm all for solutions to this, but I just can't see this taking off. Loop seem to be trying to be too much of the process (I don't want to buy from them), and trying to piggy back on widescale infrastructure such as UPS (whereas I want my council to collect these as part of my regular waste collection).

I think a combination of more standardised packaging, more recyclable packaging, and more local support for things like re-usable glass containers with deposits (as are common in Germany) are the way forward.

Of course brands won't like this, because when every bottle of shampoo comes in the same shaped container it's much more difficult to differentiate between brands.
Eating in within a nine hour window is very healthy so skiping breakfast and lunch is good.

Boeing’s Decision of the Decade: Does It Build the 797?
Having spent time among bike racers and triathletes, there is another factor the article doesn't mention: lots of toys.

Serious cyclists love to spend money on equipment, and the market is often designed around forced obsolescence. While there are stories of cyclists doing great things on sub-standard equipment, the "marginal gains" that top-flight gear provide make it difficult for the cyclist with just average or below-average equipment to do well.

I am, of course, talking about competition here--plenty of long distance cyclists (randonneurs) ride 1600km on "sub-standard" equipment. Just browse a gallery of the Paris-Brest-Paris brevet to see.
That would still expose the pre-accept audio on accept.
I broadly agree about complicated apps, but there are plenty of mobile websites which are more useful than apps for me precisely because of their simplicity. The killer benefit is the ability to deep link, for instance I have three or four icons on my homescreen going to the timetables for different bus stops, and two or three for the weather for different places. For my use case I want to go straight to a simple stateless page which tells you what you want to know, not be subject to the UX whims of the app designer. The drawbacks are created by iOS, I would prefer these websites to be able to use a cache which worked and wasn’t broken in small subtle ways, and to be able to set them fullscreen.
So is the legality of acquiring them in Canada a gray area? Seems like the guy is trying to fulfill (albeit crudely via smuggling) a market need.
They still work as libraries. 'Pure arduino' with it's setup(), loop(), pinMode(), etc is hiding a lot of firmware from you. If your device has wifi, it becomes more difficult to use it without an OS since you must manage the wifi yourself inside your loop(). Failure to respond to radio events within certain time frames is an error, so you would have to be careful to not spend too much time in your loop before dealing with the radio. With an OS, the radio has it's own thread and you don't have to deal with it. To you it works like a library.
I'm not certain with regards to Snap, but I suspect either iOS, or an enterprising app developer, has a function to block screenshots from working.

Specifically when using the Sky Go app for streaming TV, screenshots come out black.
Case in point. Why do you need web push when you have websockets which safari supports?
It's long since been done. My kids (now in their 30s) went through babyhood with cloth diapers and the weekly diaper service. Dirty diapers were simply dumped in a (airtight!) sealed bin which got left outside the door on pickup day to be replaced by a fresh bin full of clean (sterilised) diapers for the coming week.

Since there are two redhat/podman powerhouses in this thread, first of all thanks for all the hard work! It's not like I'm anti-docker, but it has some hangups that I'll be happy to get away from when I have the chance. I feel like being tied to docker for so long made it harder to understand other tools like ctr/critool/containerd early on.

Second thing -- I haven't looked into it much but do you know how the docker in docker support is in podman? Is this thread (https://github.com/containers/libpod/issues/746) the right one to watch?

One prank would be egging cars. Clearly it's the car companies fault for building cars that have paint ruined if you don't wash it quickly.

Another would be putting a potato in the exhaust -- why don't they build potato proof exhausts?

You can let car tyres down without causing an ounce of damage, what a hoot. It's the car company's fault that so many cars are susceptible.
I always wonder what is the reason that they ask for US-based. One possible reason I've heard is that it makes taxes and certain laws easier for them to follow, in which case it sounds like more a matter of being a US citizen rather than actually living in the US. Another reason I've seen is that they still want you to be available to come into the office every so often, which would be a different story.

Are there any people here who are US citizens but living abroad that have applied to these companies? What was the response?
Is he definitely going to the Big-10 university? I almost hate to ask this, but is attending an elite private university an option?

It is very much possible to get an outstanding education at public universities. I went to the University of Wisconsin for my Ph.D. in math, and they have a fabulous graduate program. I know some of the professors there are also very devoted to excellent undergraduate education.

But my sense is that the usual outcome is a good education, and to get a truly top-notch education at a large public university, you have to seek it out. Some people naturally do this, but seeking out opportunities is a talent -- one I mostly lacked myself as an undergraduate. From what I can discern, it's easy to miss out.

Whereas at a private university there will be a lot of peer pressure. I went to Rice as an undergrad, and I met a lot of fellow students who were incredibly accomplished and motivated at a variety of pursuits (academic and otherwise). The peer pressure very much pushed me in the right direction. Although some people don't need this, or don't really benefit from it, I did.

My point is not to say "private universities are better than public" -- there are many excellent public universities, and plenty of mediocre private ones. If the Big 10 place is his only choice, then good luck there -- all of the Big 10 schools are good universities, and some are excellent.

But, if possible, I'd suggest that he be as deliberate as possible in his choice of university. I wouldn't worry too much about whether CC credits will be accepted or not; instead, I'd try to figure out (as much as I could) what the classes are like, and what the student experience is.
If there are more than superficial similarities between the two, surely there is a rough analogue for "⍳10" in Go using its iota. Conversely there must be an analogue for "const ( A = iota; B; C )" in APL using its iota. Those are the fundamental uses of these entirely (IMO) different concepts.

In the latter case, you can say that "A B C←⍳3" (at least in Dyalog) which is roughly equivalent to a Go constant assignment using iota if you squint a little and disregard the underlying procedure of creating and unpacking an array at run-time vs creating a compile-time constant. In the former case, I'm not aware of any analogue.
I'm still very much in favour of managing my own private keys in an encrypted database on my desktop/laptop. I feel like everyone is blindly trusting these devices, having been scared in to it by horror stories of malware lifting keys off machines.

I will eat my paper wallets if my meagre holdings are stolen from me like that.
Ah, ok. My mistake.
Non competitive jogging is something anyone can do for cheap.

The article is about competitive endurance running specifically. Competitive running requires quite a lot of time for training and then regeneration. It is pretty hard on body - meaning time needed for regeneration and healing injuries and also it requires proper food. Meaning, if you work night shifts or lift weight in work you have disadvantage. We can come destroyed into office and take it easy for a day if I trained too much. People who actually compete in those marathons often get sick right after race, which is something a rich person cares about less then poor one.

Add to it network effect and it becomes pretty clear why rich would do it more then poor.

You seem to not have come across this so I'll spell it out.

Authoritarian China controls both the education, media and internet. It can and does fan the flames of ethnonationalism for political purposes.

The propaganda is usually reasonable sounding, but actually incorrect reading of history.

The more nationalist individuals make their own decisions and are encouraged to be themselves propagandists. Especially spreading propaganda towards other ethnically Chinese people but also to the wider world.

The infectiousness and effectiveness of this propaganda is actually quite fascinating to observe.

Everywhere on the internet there are examples of this information warfare.

> Long story short is that in the Maryland-DC area they have what are called magnet schools, and if you can pass a test sort of like the SAT, they will let you leave your current school zone and bus to a better one. Whether or not you think that’s a good or bad idea, or fair or unfair, it is what I had and it was a way out.

Standardized testing gets a lot of flak for being too rigid or biased, but I think its rigidity serves an important purpose. You may be living in an unjust society, but if you can score X on this test, you will get Y. There's plenty of information on the test as well as resources anyone can use to score well enough (online, public library or school library). It's an easier sell to many disadvantaged groups and present a clear way out, whether it be a magnet school or university.
