In Berlin (not exactly a techhub so about 100k for a good engineer), they are currently selling a plot of about 2 acres (8500sqm) for 1.5M (plus cost of a good new house ~= 300k). About 30min by public transport to city center. 40min to the new Tesla factory by car...

It’s not really about “will they shut it down?” But rather, will Google continue to invest heavily in GCP if it’s not gaining traction at the pace they want it to? Maybe they’ll find better ways to spend that money. Microsoft got out of the mobile phone business, which seems ludicrous to me, but they weren’t gaining traction, so...

>Lack of a magrittr style infix operator, though seemingly minor, actually emerges as a real pain point once you become accustomed to using it.

That's an interesting take, given that to me the magrittr operator seems to have been added to mimic the object oriented 'attribute' operator.

Of course the object oriented variant makes it harder to extend the behaviour of a class after it has been defined (although strictly speaking that isn't impossible with python), you'd need to add your methods up front, or extend the class.
Just to add to your awesome comment, many of these companies have compensation policies that discourage retaining talent. I'll give an example of a certain FAANG.

- Initial offer sets your comp for your first 4 years.

- If stock outperforms the expectations (as it has historically done) you get no refreshers.

- If your comp is at the top of your band, you get no/nominal raise.

- Newly promoted engineers get paid the bottom of the new band. If they are already earn that much or more (via stock growth) they get nothing.

And then the truly key points.

- The company stack ranks employees every year. Only top performers (a tiny fraction) get raises to the top of their band. If they are already at the top or above (via stock growth) they get nothing.

- Most other employees get no/nominal raises.

- Employees must be 'consistently performing at the next level' in order to get promoted. This avoids the Peter principle [1].

Why do I say this discourage retaining talent? Let's consider the following scenario:

- You are a good engineer, and get hired for your level at top of your band.

- Because you are at the top of the band, no matter how hard you work, you won't get any raises. Being rated top performer, which is quite difficult, gets you nothing (other than an ego boost).

- You need to consistently perform at the next level to get a promotion. This might take a few cycles in the best case scenario. If you are doing well, essentially you are doing L+1 work for L salary.

- When you finally get promoted, you go to the bottom of the band. Including stock appreciation, you will still probably not get a raise.

- You need to be a top performer at the next level to get a raise.

Also once your initial grant runs out, you rely on stock appreciation and top performer ratings to get more money.

This model incentives behaviours like these:

- Get hired at the top of the band. Use competing offers between top companies to get there.

- Work just hard enough to not get fired in your first 4 years.

- After your initial grant expires, interview somewhere else.

Or, if you have a very good shot at a promotion.

- Get hired at level L.

- Do good work to get promoted to L+1 within your first 4 years.

- Shortly after the promotion, look for L+1 positions in other companies. Chances are that a new hire offer elsewhere will be much higher than your current comp.

Anecdotally a good number of people leave after a promo, and this is probably one of the reasons why.

EDIT: Fixed formatting.

CNBC - which is not even a great financial & business news media outlet - does a dramatically better job of balancing their bullish versus bearish articles. Bloomberg, the media platform, went noticeably bearish after Michael Bloomberg publicly came out against Trump a few years ago. I've been reading Bloomberg daily for a very long time, it wasn't a subtle turn, it was dramatic and immediate - which perfectly fits with what we've seen since then from Michael Bloomberg's direction to his firm re what they're allowed to do and say. They're following his marching orders.

The only positive thing I can say about that sort of bias and propaganda, is at least it's formally out in the open.

Read beyond the headline. FTA:

>Given that Intel doesn’t have any processors (aside from the Stratix 10 FPGAs) that support the PCIe 4.0 interface, the developers obviously don't have access to an Intel-driven test platform with the new interface

Beyond that, Stratix 10 is "shipping" in the sense that low-volume samples are being distributed to large partners, but it is practically impossible for anyone to buy a Stratix 10 in any formfactor other than dev kits.

And the non-$10,000 dev kits don't have PCIe 4.0.

The article is obviously about the lag Intel is experiencing with getting PCIe 4.0-capable products to the larger market.

You can get Zen 2 and POWER systems with PCIe 4.0 today, and it is highly likely that ARM-based motherboards supporting PCIe 4.0 will be available on the general market for actual purchase before Intel releases something.

One-offs, samples, test gear, and dev kits don't "count".

If they did, then PCIe 4.0 was first "available" in early 2016 because engineers got their first PLDA dev kits which allowed them to start prototyping their designs.

It is certainly possible to do JS development in a more controlled way.

My advice is to avoid most of the JS build tools (i.e. grunt, gulp) by using npm scripts (basically shell commands defines in `package.json`) to trigger build actions, or to start smaller, more specialised tools. At least then you will understand how your build works and won't have an extra layer of buggy plugins screwing things up.

Also being conservative and critical of the dependencies you take on is a great idea. Many smaller dependencies are not worth it. Bigger popular libraries like lodash are often a better deal. Unfortunately this micro-module philosophy and "publish random trash to npmjs.com" attitude has created a huge amount of crud packages.

I've had success organising a bigger project into multiple node packages inside the same git repository and using yarn's workspaces feature to tie it altogether. I avoid the complexity of publishing those (private) packages on npmjs.com. yarn's workspaces make it possible for my main app to find its (internal) package dependencies in the same git repo.

There is so much important and inspiring work to do in the world. It might take some energy to find it, but I think it will be rewarding if you do. It sounds like you have an amazing opportunity to find this work because you have a financial cushion to fall back on. So good luck in finding it! You could start by just seeking out people to talk to who you think are doing important work. Maybe don't worry about whether there's a job in it or if it even feels related to technology. Chances are those conversations could inspire you to do something you can't picture yet. Maybe an entrepreneurial opportunity. Everything needs technology these days after all. Good luck!
I'm using similar versioning for pre-build packages, but it's extended with commit information to 1:1 mapping to the source tree:

local date=$(git log -1 --format="%cd" --date=short | sed s/-//g)
local count=$(git rev-list --count HEAD)
local commit=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)
echo "$date.${count}_$commit"

Example result:

1. The graph is apparently adjusted for CPI, but not house prices. House prices especially in big cities has mostly gone up much more than CPI over time. [1]

2. Including only billion dollars climate events does seem misleading and especially prone to statistical bias. Both bias towards local weather around cities, but also for modern days, partly because of 1.

3. Population has gone up and cities expanded so there's now a much larger area to make billion dollars devastation on.

Using percentage of GDP and not setting an arbitrary threshold of a billion dollars would rectify some of these problems. An alternative graph is provided here [2], and on that it's much harder to spot a trend.

This sounds interesting and, to my amateur ears, at least worth considering. Is there any possibility of correcting for those factors? Would that satisfy as an indicator of climate change (or lack thereof)?

This tells nothing about weather or climate and everything about how rich we've become and where we are able to build today.

It's simply misleading to put it up this way. Even if the weather was getting less extreme you could experience an increase in cost.

I may be wrong, but I recall reading Azure grew quickly because they already had MS contracts in place with many enterprise companies. They simply said, we’ll also hold your hand in the entire cloud process.

This was critical because by then if you weren’t on AWS, you probably didn’t have the DevOps team to do so - MS was now willing to lend you enough consultants to do it for you.

The number of spend shouldn’t be astronomically high. Most workflows in cloud computing are commoditized low-margin. It also explains why Google wants to do high-margin AI stuff, and why AWS is happy with low-margin areas.
Vscode comes to mind.

> Amazon isn't designed in anyway for you to interact with this person

Amazon used to have more social features a decade ago: you could follow reviewers and talk with them, and there were message boards for the book-, music- or film-lover community as a whole. However, that functionality was gradually hidden on the site or outright removed. Apparently Amazon felt supporting it was too expensive and it didn’t appreciably increase sales, and for books it was made redundant after Amazon’s purchase of Goodreads.

Yeah, I think its really just a bit of NIMBY in terms of opposing views. "Nobody has done that yet" isn't really true - just nobody has commercialized a new-generation implementation of the Symbolics ideology in a way that is easily recognized.

I mean, Unreal Engine Editor is pretty close to having a lot of the mechanics right, in terms of a parallel/similar implementation.

Perhaps its just not in the nay-sayers view, or there's a disagreement about what the interface/execution environment 'really' is. Anyway, with its management of C++ builds, UE could probably be pushed to compete with this rig.
Another example: late blight, the mold that attacks tomatoes, potatoes, and a few other plants originated in the Americas and "was a major culprit in the 1840s European, the 1845 Irish, and the 1846 Highland potato famines", according to Wikipedia.

Side note: tomatoes and potatoes also originated in the Americas so it's only natural that their associated diseases came from the same region.
The fact that more people are building in climate-vulnerable areas is a very good thing to know about — and that’s the kind of data that this kind of series will highlight. If you want historical hurricane data I’m sure you can get that from NOAA. However, that kind of data won’t give you insight into the human impact of that weather in the same way this series does.
On the other hand safe Rust code will be memory safe..
As you can see by the replies, most people can only think in terms of potatoes. If we were smarter we'd do it a better way.

I had several years of my twenties where I was a real loner, and while I enjoy having time to myself, I've found that chronic prolonged loneliness is very detrimental to my psyche, to the point where I get mentally ill.

It may seem hopeless, but it's certainly possible to change your circumstance if you're willing to put in a persistent effort. At the risk of cliche, if I was to give my younger self a few self help pointers, a short list would be:
- Turn to Christ in prayer.
- Quit porn.
- Be healthy.
- Go on 1000 awkward dates until your anxiety is beat into the mud, and your social skills have leveled up a few times. You will find love on date 1001.

Score dates on online dating sites. Look for sites that aren't just for adolescents looking for flings. If you're struggling to even get dates, buy a nice shirt, get a haircut and take some headshots with a professional photographer.

If you're willing to grind it out using these principles, your odds should be pretty good for turning your life around. I say this as a married father of three who hardly has a minute to himself anymore, who was a hopeless 'forever alone' case only a decade ago.

Dunno what happened to Visix, but there were a few other similar style IDE's in the works in the 90's ..

> I think it's important to remember that being with other people won't necessarily make you feel good.

This is something I’ve been coming to terms with a lot lately. I grew up in an abusive family with drug addict parents where neglect was a common thing so I strongly crave attachment. But just because you are physically with other people doesn’t mean that attachment and connections will be formed. In fact, I’ve found in most situations the opposite is true: lackluster interactions that leave me feeling even more disconnected and detached because they feel so vapid, meaningless, and shallow.

I’ve endured quite a lot of pain and found that nothing is quite as painful as feeling completely alone in a room full of friends, family, and/or coworkers.

It means that your normal vest schedule doesn’t start for one year, so if your initial stock grant vests quarterly, none vests at all for the first year and then 25% vests all at once after year one, then the other 75% of it vests quarterly over the following three years. Essentially it’s a small, localized version of golden handcuffs for the rank-and-fils, since it means if you leave the company within the first year you get no stock.

Not exactly. The big players often get news before you. However the big players cannot act one small news. That is if you can invest $1,000 for a year at 15% that is a big deal to a small player - but to the big guys the time spending trading that $1,000 is time when they ignore the other millions under their watch and so it isn't worth it. Thus as a small player you need to find those large gains on small investments that are not worth their time.

Actually this news was tradable by both small and big players. It is larger than all the big traders combined after you factor in risk tolerance.
