Funny coincidence, I never met such a woman either!

I did meet plenty who just happened to only date men who make high six to seven figures. It was a serial coincidence!
This is interesting, as an answer to how much the OS/user boundary costs us.

The OS seems to be essentially a unikernel that runs an interpreter of a safe language which happens to be expressed in something close to machine code, and could use a JIT compiler to generate native-code loops. (Seems like it ought to use the actual unikernel, rather that starting from scratch. Maybe it does, and I misunderstood?) The language it interprets is output from compilers of lots of conventional languages.

Maybe it should directly execute machine code from compilers of declared-safe languages like Rust, provided the compiler attests it compiled no unsafe blocks. I don't know if there are any useful programs that it could say that about.
It is all mentioned and explained in the video I linked though. Those Boston developments were not in isolation, what happened there impacted what happened in SV.
We configure all our test addresses to success@ses.amazon.com (or whatever the simulator address actually is) so we don’t spam or get banned by inadvertance
Even including uranium mining, nuclear power has lower material throughput than, well, pretty much any energy source including wind and solar. With wind and solar you're harvesting a pretty diffuse energy source so lots of (mostly) steel and concrete needed per unit of energy produced over the lifetime of the plant.

Also, with a closed nuclear fuel cycle we could reduce the amount of fuel mining by a factor of 100 or abouts. Heck, we could shut down mining for a couple of centuries while we burn all the uranium we have already dug up. So far there's little interest in that, though, as uranium is pretty cheap.
GitHub's license detection algorithm is crap. It tends to get GPLv2 right, but most other licenses are hit-and-miss. And I still can't find a setting where I can manually specify the license when GitHub can't autodetect one or gets it wrong.
Bob Dylan: LAST THOUGHTS ON WOODY GUTHRIE

The ones that wheel and deal and whirl and twirl

And play games with each other in their sand-box world

And you can't find it either in the no-talent fools

That run around gallant

And make all rules for the ones that got talent

And it ain't in the ones that ain't got any talent

but think they do

And think they're foolin' you

The ones who jump on the wagon

Just for a while 'cause they know it's in style

To get their kicks, get out of it quick

And make all kinds of money and chicks

When this webpage loads, it briefly flashes in plaintext before loading CSS - at least in Chrome. This is unusual since it has the CSS stylesheet in the head which I thought would block until it's fully loaded. Does anyone know what's going on with that?
The elastic library on CRAN got a major update a few months ago which made it much more powerful and easier to use. Makes uploading easy too, especially if there's a direct relationship between the structure of your dataframe and the Elastic json. Uploading nested structures is still a bit of a pain though.
Pro-tip: don't tell or show this sentiment to a potential employer if you ever look to switch jobs. This is probably the worst possible mindset for an employee to have from employer's perspective.

> There is no use case for these languages anymore.

There are entire ecosystems of academic libraries built around Matlab that can’t all just be picked up and moved to Python. This argument probably doesn’t realise just how ingrained Matlab is in STEM non-CS academic departments.

Example: my girlfriends department writes a world-leading MRI analysis library in Matlab. They offer training courses on it (so departments around the world now know it) and it’s frequently used within academic papers (so there are now resources available on it). Why would they move to Python?
Than I guess Julia will be an even more powerful language to learn, as it combines the flexibility of Python with all the use cases of all major technical/scientific languages, while being efficient and fast.

Yeah, I’ve developed some clj/cljs code. It’s full of conditional compilation. It’s even full of conditional compilation expressions in the ns header.
I feel the planning done by management doesn't let me feel proud about the work I'm doing. That's the emotional component I'm struggling with.

I've been told the things I raise as necessary to be done "will be done in the future" but they never are and I'm not given good reasons for why not. Most of the time it's because people don't consider them important (see my other comment for examples).

So I kind of rebel against that in a way and, while I think my output is better, I'm not appreciated for that and worse, might get reprimanded.

IMO he's saying ML people are fundamentally scientists, and scientists care more about the data than the techniques; an applied machine learning expert is in some ways a domain empiricist. A geek perhaps is somebody who enjoys tinkering with systems and methods in and of itself.

Naturally there is some intersection, but these are all soft terms anyway. IMO geeks have lost overall everywhere, replaced by mainstream commercial interests because the tech world needed to grow very fast.
Does thermal paste age well? I wonder how much if that was bad initial application vs the ravages if time.

Scroll down and you'll see a graph comparing latency and IOPS for a 4kB 70/30 read/write workload on Alderstream (the codename for the 2nd gen Optane SSD), a NAND SSD (P4610) and the current Optane SSD (P4800X). It's just a snapshot for now, but I'm sure more is coming.
I personally moved to locations that don't have 50%+ more single men than women. That seemed to have made me a lot more, uhm, "interesting".
The Oracle vs. Google case is based around the copying of header files, including comments, verbatim as is.

The Oracle Amazon API usage is an identical re-implementation of the interfaces, but as a web solution there is per se nothing to copy in verbatim form.

The IBM-PC copycats back in the 80s went as far as clean room re-implementing the system with engineers who never saw the documentation. Ripping the header files out of a proprietary license package is quite cheap from a legal standpoint in comparison, even if open source is provided.

Yeah I think this part is a stretch.

Just look at Vancouver as a far more extreme example of how local property prices can be out of whack with wages.

House prices are a function of wages (or, more accurately, have a floor set by wages if land is constrained) not the other way around.

Also, the level of entitlement by a lot of such engineers I find to be borderline disgusting. Why do you think you're entitled to a $1.5m house at all let alone 3 years out of college? If you really want cheaper housing (as a function of income) just move to a lower income area. It's actually pretty simple.

But the most objectionable part for me is not just how much of a non-problem this is but it completely ignores people with real problems, like, oh I don't know, the people who drive the shiny white buses who need to live 2+ hours away. Or those not in tech who have to do the same.

Engineers are compensated well now because of the value they create for their employer, nothing more, nothing less.
Here in Australia, the local council expects you to keep the nature strip, or verge, between the road and the pavement looking presentable but anything behind the front fence is your own creation.

And so the 'front lawn' is my vegie patch. Potatoes are dead easy to grow from eyes and pumpkins (winter squash) self-germinate from compost. This summer I'm experimenting with Jerusalem artichokes, which sprouted from 70¢ worth of store-bought tubers.

All you need is water and a spade - and no lawn police, I guess.
This is one of the items embedded Linux development using Yocto has particulary well covered.
It checks every license for every package and you can ask it to verify the checksum of the license file. If the license changes after upgrading a package, you'll get a build error.
When I compare the numbers for my level, I see a salary that is more or less in line with mine, and I see RSU compensation that is in line with the number of RSUs that I received in 2019.

In other words: it does not take into account stock appreciation.

I don't know whether or not that's generally true, but from where I sit, the numbers seem sound and are not inflated due to a rising stock market.
Smoother scrolling than most native editors like?
This is why I prefer to turn the problem on its head and ask the business how much time they want me to spend working on 'quality' (i.e. refactoring/tooling).

If it's on a spreadsheet that their boss can see saying that they asked me to spend 0% of my time on quality then I'm ok with it. If they can justify putting that zero down then presumably there IS a good reason.

If they're going to put me under implicit pressure to deliver as many features as possible and then cry havoc later when they get bugs then I'll lack sympathy.

Product managers are often resistant to the idea of tracking this number, however, since it provides a new angle through which they can receive flak from above.
Not sure about this bit:

> This is quite a bit of work, but is necessary to avoid falling victim to attacks like _event-stream_.

Reviewing dependencies is important, but I don't think anything the author mentions would have made a difference with event-stream. The whole issue there was that malicious changes were snuck in via a change of maintainers and a later update to a child dependency, so when people initially adopted it as a dependency there were no red flags in the library to find.

Technically it will, because there are geological processes that more or less permanently remove carbon from the atmosphere, but they take geological time (tens of thousands of years).

I would argue that the approximate truth of "diabetes is preventable by eating well" isn't useful, since members of the public often have a distorted view of what "eating well" means.

I once had an obese friend of mine tell me I was going to give myself diabetes -- despite the fact that I'm not even remotely overweight -- because I regularly drank soda. To him, his diet was good, because he ate salad for lunch and snacked from the office fruit bowl, whereas my diet was bad, because I drank soda.

There are likely many people out there who believe that because they eat salad for lunch they're "eating well" and reducing their risk of diabetes, when actually they're putting themselves at risk by being overweight.
Yeah, remember the left-pad incident? It took until ECMAScript 2017 to make such a simple function part of the standard library. Things are slowly getting better, but JS is still rather lacking compared to "batteries included" languages like PHP and Python.
Best business model to make $5M
As a thought experiment - suppose you wanted to personally net $5M, what type of online business would you create?
Some good points. Certain things are easier in R and often you can find code snippets that perform certain statistical tasks "the right way" and they are more concise than they would be in Python.

To me, R always felt a bit quirky.

I don't think R is much better at functional programming than Python. I found R to be limiting in terms of general programming.

Also, we now have type checking. I'm positive you could combine type checking and clever type declarations to handle application state like in elm.
If you're:

- working interactively (i.e. your code isn't part of a larger application)

- working with relatively small datasets that fit into memory

- don't need any deep learning libraries

then both R and Python can do a great job and choosing one over the other is simply a matter of preference. I might even lean slightly towards R because its data frames are a bit easier to use than pandas and RStudio's REPL is the best.

But if you need to deploy your code somewhere, or high performance, or the latest deep learning libraries, then Python absolutely crushes R. And it's not even close.

With a bit of electronics background this feels like the difference between a hobbyist and a professional.

Most programmers feel like hobbyists to me, in their YOLO-approach. Your software might ruin someones day, their life or maybe even end up killing people and more people should take that thing seriously. The way your collegue worked should be the norm.
You get that in absence of building codes. Right now in many major cities people don't or can't own land, can't build rigid favelas due to building codes, and instead end up living in tent favelas on the sidewalk or sleep in their car. That's not a great end stage for a city, either, but that's the status quo in our investment driven real estate market.
You should try Jupyter lab. It has notebooks, text editors and more.
You are being micro-managed, it's worth comparing your current work environment to what you were told it would be like when you hired on.

If there is a large difference between the position description and reality then you may be able to push back with the hiring manager so that you are given more autonomy to prioritize tasks during sprints.

Ideally your management should be asking you to first do items in set X and then giving you time to work on tasks that you prioritize.

This is why I prefer Kanban over Scrum as Kanban doesn't limit the set of tasks per sprint as Scrum does.

> Reading OPs problem and some posts here where people are too bored of making ludicrous money left me with a bitter aftertaste that life really is unfair and success in life is more linked to the lottery of birth and opportunities available to you than any amount of hard work. Not hating, just saying.

Just FYI, large US tech companies have offices in Europe and they also hire people from Europe to work in their US offices, so if you really want it, "lottery of birth" is not an insurmountable obstacle.
In the Netherlands at least, an American species of freshwater crayfish has almost completely replaced the native species and its ecosystem is unprepared for it.

You'll find often that these workloads are bottlenecked by network or CPU before they're slowed down by storage (especially the container and VM side). On compilation and IDE, is threaded I/O the most relevant way to think about those tasks? Phoronix has a threaded I/O benchmark that shows some significant increases in performance over other SSDs...

https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=intel-op...

If that's not relevant though, how would you benchmark compilation and disk caching for IDE? I could perhaps try it myself...
Totally, nail on the head. And folks from my company don’t really frequent HN (although I wish I worked for such a company).

I’ve learned a great deal about how not to run a business, treating employees right, delegating tasks/responsibilities, designing for automation, etc. I do hope when I get my green card to start my own startup (lifelong goal of mine) and try to set an example of everything I see wrong with our industry.
I think Julia is better designed than R. But it lacks R's ecosystem, so Julia is a tougher sell.

I haven't done a lot with Julia, so I don't know if it's easier to teach Julia to novices than Python or R.
It seems like this is a good opportunity for Github to warn you if

a) a PR would merge a new dependency with an incompatible license to yours

and

b) allow you to filter out projects based on licenses from search results. in general most of us would prefer to avoid being tainted by GPL code and it'd be great to hide it on the site entirely.
One advantage of R is that it is easier or faster to teach enough R to non-programmer scientists such that they can do their own statistical stuff.
This would be a tall order for any NLP algo. I would hazard a guess and say no, not yet.

I would never understand this "bored at work" thing. To make it interesting you have side projects and things outside work. If you are working for someone then the "boringness" is something that you have to deal with. Every job that you will have will become boring at one point or another - there will be repetitive tasks but it doesn't seem logical to keep switching every few months. If I was in your shoes and this was my situation, I wouldn't jump ship and rather get involved in the interesting opensource projects or work on the interesting stuff of my own.
I wish this would be available in German too. :/
This also sounds like a bit of imposter syndrome. I’m sure it will be fine and that you’ve actually picked up more than you realise.
You should definitely leave and try something new. It seems obvious that you are not happy with the current situation, just sitting off time at work.

Don’t start prepping to much, just do it. Jumping in is the best way to get moving.

"CRAN is a great point, and pythons packaging is in a sorry state with a crazy number of approaches and undeclared dependencies. R does a great job here"

But for production usage, again it's a huge pain. It's difficult to keep version stability with developer machines since there's no standard lock file, and the CRAN servers often delete or silently update old versions of packages.

Packrat and Microsoft's MRAN really helps, but another curious issue is that it and other CRAN servers seem to have terrible stability - often going down for hours at a time (or worse).

Python's packaging is ~impossible to understand for new developers (and really absolutely needs improving), but in an organisation you just pick an approach suited for your use case.

It's about as real as any other management position I would say :) When my scrum master complains that something isn't done, I probably have to do it or else I will eventually lose my paycheck.

Same thing goes with a manager at Dunkin Donuts. Do I have to make this coffee right now? No, someone else could. Or we could lie to this one particular customer and say we don't have it, and our business will probably survive.

But at the end of the day, the role of all people-managers is to complain about something until it's done, and US working culture rewards this skill way too much, I agree with you :)
Not really, while the status quo isn’t the best - I trust my abilities at getting into a similar level company in the industry.

I do doubt my abilities at getting into FAANG without preparing for interviews just because so much of them are just not part of my day to day.

At the time I was working as a SCADA engineer for a company that deployed Siemens PCS7 projects at quite a large scale. This worm was discovered on one of their plants. I remember afterwards it was forbidden to use any USB drive whatsoever. These systems are typically physically isolated from the internet. So every night I had to write my work to a CD to be able to get it on my laptop so I could back it up.
