A 50th percentile base salary for a senior engineer in the Bay Area is around $150k-$160k per year. Most companies offer a cash bonus (10%-15% of base); including this puts a typical cash compensation total for a 50th percentile senior engineer is between $165k and $184k per year. Most companies offer stock, but the grant and value of these varies wildly. Public companies' stock is actually worth something but you have your places like Google where RSU grants are a huge portion of salary and other places where it's closer to the cash bonus portion of salary.

This is all gross, pre-deduction salary; not salary net of taxes, deductions, etc.

I kind of doubt Joe Armstrong would support N days of mourning requiring uncritical acceptance of everything he's ever done.

Joe called things like he saw them. I think we better honor him by doing the same.

I did this with an interview recently and I think it was the only reason why I got an offer.

I think the challenge is that you need to have related experience in order for this to work; if you don't, you will be scrambling for an answer. I didn't even realize I was doing this when I started directing the hiring manager to my related experience until after the interview.

It worked out that I didn't have direct experience with what they were looking for but have a lot of related experience in the same language but different domain as well as with other languages, all of which was visible on my github profile.
I truly believe that writing html is way easier than qt/qml. I can't remember how hard was styling in qt/qml.
It's key to setup two or three bastion hosts with similar diversity to your prod fleet (are you in multiple locations? put a bastion in at least two of those; if not, do you have multiple racks? put a bastion in at least two of those, etc) -- you will have network incidents where some hosts are unreachable, you don't want that to hit all your bastions or you'll be very sad.

Bastions are nice, because you can harden them, or put 2fa on them, and not worry as much about the ssh config on the other hosts -- just make sure they don't accept ssh connections from the outside world.
It is, but in Spain's case it is sometimes nationalism too, as the Spanish Crown rules over several different old independent kingdoms which have cultural differences and languages that stem directly from Latin (ex. Euskera).

I don't know where academics put the bar, but in my mind any area that has its own non-dialect language or was once an independent entity for a good while can claim to be a nation. Though not sure what the claim would mean in practice.

That said, I'd rather see all these things die down and have a strong EU of federated states of whichever size helps democratic and economic progress. Tall order, I know.
Thank you too! It's fun seeing the different ways we implemented the same things, even pieces and rotation.

No but in dynamic languages just making the array before hand can greatly increase efficiency.
To attach this to stability is to implicitly assume that what's important is that the wealth itself was passed down between generations. This would require stability, because if the wealth was all lost in one event, the chain would be irrevocably broken.

The alternative view is that the people in these families have the personal characteristics that allow one to build wealth, and that those characteristics are passed down (either by some kind of conditioning, or genetically, or some combination). This doesn't require much stability at all, since the wealth can all be lost but the capacity to build it is not as long as the person survives.

Examples of the second view can be found in diverse examples like: Wealthy Irans who lost everything in the '79 revolution, moved to America, and rebuilt from nothing to become wealthy again, often not even speaking English to start. Jews after the Holocaust, who lost everything and rebuilt from nothing to now become >17% of global billionaires on 0.1% of global population. And so on.

Though both views are obviously in effect, given the massive instability present throughout history, I'm inclined to say the second causality is dominant over the long term, while the first is only effective over the short term (e.g. trust-fund babies who lose everything in one generation, pro sports players or lottery winners who get millions and lose it all within a few years, etc).

I think it's important to keep both causalities in mind.
BYD sells a huge number of buses, and one electric bus removes as much fossil fuel pollution as about 25 EV cars, from what I recall. They also sell other vehicles.

The hiring company just counters they "can give X" for an imminently qualified candidate but after the interview process they feel the candidate has too little experience or aptitude and is being offered a job in spite of their shortcomings and should be so happy with the offer.

> Sounds similar to web browsers coming with their own CA certificates instead of using system-wide ones, leading to poor integration and inconsistencies.

Well, the only notable browser which does this is Mozilla's Firefox, and not coincidentally the only root trust store where you can actually see how the sausage is made is Mozilla's. All the other big trust stores (Apple, Microsoft, Google) are black boxes. Presumably they have one or more employees dedicated to this stuff, but since we're not shown their working it might equally be the product of an intern throwing darts at a list.

Right now for example Mozilla is discussing Certinomis, a small CA which doesn't seem to be very good at the technical aspects of their job, issuing certificates for DNS names with spaces in them, typo'ing dates, filling parameters out incorrectly, nothing that screams "evil" but certainly more clumsy than we'd prefer. Are other trust stores thinking about Certinomis? You'll only find out if one of them announces a change.

'One more thing': Apple fails in legal bid over Swatch trademark (Australia)
This is a great summary. I too have struggled to get decent information on the web about antenna theory and design. As it turned out, I was searching wrong :-) The keyword is 'electrodynamics' and the canonical text is "Classic Electrodynamics" by Jackson. I am told that if you can understand the contents of this book, antennas are pretty straight forward. I started in on it, got whacked upside the brain a number of times, then backed off to "Introduction to Electrodynamics" by Griffth which is the undergraduate version and does a bit more math review, which was essential in my case. My plan is that once I am through that I'll go back and re-start Jackson.

The fun bit here is that if you look for computer code to simulate this stuff you will run into a lot of Fortan code. So if you ever wanted to learn Fortran this will give you some code to puzzle over.

'Crown Land' in Canada is de-facto literally government land, parks, open spaces etc...

In the UK there is 'Crown Estate' (which you are referring to), i.e. the Queen's landholdings, from which a bunch of revenue is derived ... and 'Public Estate' i.e. regular public land in the UK, which is more like 'Crown Land' in Canada.
While the Basque conflict was mostly about identity, and the Catalonian one is half about identity and half about economics, the Leon conflict is sheer economics.

The region took an economic hit during the 80s as the country transitioned to a tertiary-sector-heavy economy, which lumped together with the lack of investments from the new regional government and their inability to perform any sort of industrial restructuring quickly turned Leon from one of the most prosperous regions in the country to one of the least.

It sounds as though you have some basis of where you need to improve, I would continue to look for jobs but also try to improve in those areas (recursion and algorithms).

I spent the last year looking for jobs and it's definitely a weird market right now. I got offered a position that another company told me I lacked the relevant experience for.

You would be surprised by how a company may value your talents. It seems like the companies you've interviewed for don't require the talents that you have which is a good indicator that you probably would not want to work for those companies.

Keep looking for the company that values your talents and shares your values, but make sure to learn more in the areas that you have identified as needing improvement.

This isn't specific to justifying a visa. This same method is sometimes used when the obvious choice non-cheap-labor hire has already been picked by the hiring manager, but they're required (for any of a variety of reasons outside the manager's control) to post the job.

When it's not used for visa indentured servant games, it's arguably a relatively decent way to to do things (don't put applicants through a charade of being considered, and you're already certain who you want to hire), but better would be to not post the job at all in that situation.

Did you ever imagine if both ends of the spectrum are true? Maybe there is a talent shortage and maybe there are companies trying to get cheap labor from abroad. We are a reasonable sized company trying to recruit people with advanced skills. Finding talent that includes large number of H1B's is hard on its own. Forget finding talent that excludes 95% of the world (aka H1B's). Most of the candidates I get to interview are usually immigrants. Why? I don't know. We have zero motivation to hire immigrants specifically. We pay way higher than an average company and are more interested in talented candidates than saving money. It's just that immigrants are the ones with the skills that we need.

Also, the notion that H1b's are cheap is not always true. With the added costs of filing H1b visa and green card, the true costs are much higher, especially in a cutting edge industry.

>I still haven't been able to find a general equation for a have wavelength dipole antenna explained in simple English.

Equation for what? Length at resonance? Feed point impedance? Other interesting parameters?

Antennas are one of those things where it takes a long time to develop intuition, and there are no simple formulas for anything, just useful models that get you close, and simulation programs that work well enough to give an answer within your manufacturing tolerances. (All models are wrong, some are useful.)

So start with a couple of fundamental ideas: 1) Accelerate an electron, get a photon. 2) An antenna is a transformer that couples the end of your feed line to free space.

The reason the general family of dipole antennas is efficient is that the Ohmic resistance is usually around an Ohm or less, and the "radiation resistance" can be raised to around 70 to 80 Ohms. So 80/(80+1) is the ratio of energy coupled to space versus total energy input. Pretty good efficiency.

In a center fed dipole, the driving voltage creates an electrostatic force that attempts to slosh electrons in the conductor one way or the other. At resonance, a small amount of energy input creates lots of sloshing, because the driving voltage just needs to give a boost to the resonant sloshing. Off resonance, effectiveness is much lower. Actual length at resonance depends on the length:diameter ratio of the conductor, the dielectric constant of the surrounding medium, the height above ground, and the dielectric constant and conductivity of the ground. If you know all of those, the dipole can be modeled as a just barely tractable boundary value problem.

The empirical formulas that you see usually assume a practical conductor diameter and practical height. You might enjoy playing with one of the NEC2-based antenna modeling programs out there. NEC2-family solvers do "method of moments", where each wire is chopped up into segments, and then for an N-segment model, an NxN matrix of mutual inductances models the coupling among wire segments.

The ARRL Antenna Book takes more time to explain fundamentals than the Handbook. The ARRL also publishes an antenna physics book that I haven't read. I notice that PhD committee chair for the author of the Antenna Theory web site we are yakking about was Balanis, who wrote a pretty good book called "Antenna Theory" -- but the book assumes you are an EE graduate student with at least a semester of multi-dimmensional DiffEQ beyond the elementary DiffEQ course.

> You can’t blame individuals, nor the companies here. The system they operate in requires them to report quarterly; with a priority on short term performance over a longer term outlook (it exists, but not overtly so). When you don’t meet those short term goals, both individuals (employee reviews, getting laid off etc) and the company (value on the public or private market) suffers.

The question of responsibility differs from what one should expect. I think it's perfectly fine to blame the individuals and companies here. "I was just following incentives" is becoming the new Nuremberg defense.

Of course, to change what happens in reality most of the time, it's not enough to blame people; you need to change the incentives.

I often see some former co-workers who often tell me I should apply at my old job should I ever sell my business. That happened four months ago and, during that time, I couldn't find any contact information to apply. I called the company's main number and was transferred to a voice mail of someone who never called me back. I applied online to a different job, explaining the situation, but never heard back.

The situation was this: I had two former managers and one co-worker all advocating for me for the one job they knew was available--my old job!

I have not been able to get any response from the company at all.

Also assume Big tech (FANG) set the ceiling for software engineer salary.

These companies hire every engineer that meet their criteria.

Most engineer given an offer from one of them would accept it since that is the highest possible offer they can get.

If there is no talent shortage, these companies should have no open recs or fill them as soon as they're opened because they are the best possible jobs for any engineer.

Since they have open recs (sometimes open for months), there is a talent shortage at the skill level they require.

Please let me know what is missing in this logic?
