Tooling mostly. It was needlessly difficult to make a small project and use dune to build and run it.

Contrast this with Elixir and Rust where the beginner howtos are front and center. Both mix and cargo are amazing tools that are also very easy to use. Dune is rather cryptic and non-obvious.

I'd definitely be much more excited about OCaml if dune and opam had good cheatsheets and proper brief manuals that don't assume anything about the proficiency of the reader.

A lot of educational OCaml material is either old or imprecise.

Again, start with dune. I want a brain-dead intro to it but still it should cover everything it can do, and how.

There is quite a bit wrong with that article; it reads like a middle school weekly report; on Monobloc chairs. Maybe it is?!
It’s just a declarative way of solving a problem, like a SQL query or my C# .csx implementation.
I’m actually quite surprised that there isn’t any SQL implementation...
It is not just a heuristic if you have hard upper bounds on the things that matter - in that case, it is static analysis. A missile has a limited, and well-defined, fuel supply.

In the case of memory management, it is not enough to just free it after use; you need to ensure that you have sufficient contiguous memory for each allocation. If you decide to go with a memory-compaction scheme, you have to be sure it never introduces excessive latency. It seems quite possible that to guarantee a reallocation scheme always works, you have to do more analysis than you would for a no-reallocation scheme with more memory available.
> “ Anyway, what’s the true danger of a simple or incomplete understanding?”

In practice the danger is someone not trained in statistics will copy/paste the “simple” approach and generate poor chains of samples, and base a seriously incorrect MCMC calculation off their misunderstood application.

If it’s clear this is just for teaching, then sure the risk is less. But it’s not usually clear.
meeee toooooo. I want somethign that isn't webkit!
Are they considering letting you change the default calling app? That would seem very odd. Mail and browser, and perhaps messaging (only for the purpose of “Siri, send a message to Joe saying blah”).
> "Rich people" want their property values to be stable or increase. They want their communities to be somewhat static. If I paid $1MM+ for a property in a dense CA metro

If you buy a $1MM home you are rich, no scare quotes required! I think this explains a lot of the dynamic: rich people do not believe they are rich.
You are making decisions based on arbitrary labels and demographics, not on the person. It is the definition of descrimination.

Not only that, but it's blatantly hypocritical since you don't spend your money based on the demographics of a company, you spend it based on performance.
> earning much more than their male

less than 1% is not "much more". Please don't editorialize. Especially when the data I have (and I have more than most!) on Google's internal salaries shows that women do appear to be underpaid by some measures.
I think Houston is not just a bad counter-example, it's the worst counter-example. It not only has really horribly high pollution[0], but enormous amounts of urban sprawl[1]. It's not exactly the model city to look up to.

It's also worth noting that the lack of regulations that Houstonians take pride in contributed to the devastation caused by Harvey in a big way.

As a software developer, how do I advocate for a 4-day work week in my current and future workplaces?

Can I demand a 4-day work week in my future contracts?
Haha, yeah - there are a lot of these around.

Though some of these are genuinely new to me, the competitors we'd found in this space before like formkeep and getform had unbearably low form limits or expensive price-per-form schemes.

Also, we have a fun cake graphic :D
Yeah, you're right, Google and Amazon hire a bunch of brick layers that can't design a long term sustainable system... Come on man
That's pretty clear.

If the gov't (at all levels) really wanted more housing, it could happen pretty dam quickly. There is enough capital floating around out there.

Problem is the capital says "not worth the hassle" or "with all the delays and costs, it's not worth it".

Tech companies unnecessarily demand butts in chairs in the Bay Area

Only in California would people complain "there are too many high paying jobs being created".
Apparently somebody in the calculations made a mistake in the very beginning and nobody paid attention to review the calculations.

This is common in projects of such scale, where everyone is so specialised that no one has a general idea of the whole project and could thus have raised a "something feels wrong" feeling.
And one very specific kind of regulation at that: zoning laws. I could imagine a complex system of zoning laws maybe working, if they were written by urban planning experts with a genuine interest in the greater good.

California’s zoning laws are cobbled together by the total opposite: ordinary local officials with a myopic focus on the interests of current property owners and a general hostility to anyone else.

Houston zoning really is a breath of fresh air.
What are the top challenges? Why is it taking so long? What exactly will multicore OCaml cover? Native OS threads? Green threads? Actors like in Erlang/Elixir?

I'm learning Rust and I'm doing so a bit begrudgingly at times. I like OCaml better but the lack of frictionless parallelism is a huge letdown. (And I don't think spawning several processes is an actual alternative, no.)

Trust me, there is some amount of programmers out there who will very quickly adopt OCaml after it gains multicore abilities. They are eagerly awaiting and watching. And I'm one of them.
If housing hasn't similarly increased [or "just doubled"?] during that time frame, here we are.
I don't even know what to think about this to be honest.

This use of Debezium is exactly backwards from how I've always used it to go from non streaming CRUD database to streaming. In that sense I appreciate the ingenuity.

I need to think more on this because I generally disagree with using a data lake for anything, but I struggle to think of a simpler implementation for this use case right off the top of my head.
As much as I generally dislike and have wariness of these sorts of selective suspensions from the giant tech communications platforms, Micheal Bloomberg himself is such a thoroughly detestable individual that it's hard not to be pleased. Whether you're a republican conservative type or a liberal democrat, Bloomberg has the worst of either world to offer you in his smugly authoritarian, elitist and humorless tendencies. Grotesque in so many ways.
My point is that a lot of engineers freak out about things they read a Facebook engineering blog post about, and are "engineering" a crazy complex system for months to handle non-facebook volumes of traffic. They then reassure themselves by valuing the ideological purity of their design over the months salary they wasted on building their Sistine chapel of REST. This is mid-level engineers all day, every day.
This is the approach I typically advocate. I actually like to think of quality, depending on the project of course, a bit like an LSM tree.. Well, in the sense that I expect new code and features to be a bit more loose and chaotic. Over time though, the chaos should be reduced and "compacted" if you will as code is revisited and patterns emerge(rule of three).

Of course a certain amount of developer continuity and familiarity with the code helps a lot with this approach.

I guess it's a combination of current position and what you value.

I was already paid reasonably well which likely helps take this position. Once that threshold is met I value happiness over a bit more money.

If I was frustrated with my income I'd likely be viewing the tax info and looking for negotation points, or knowing a company is a poor payer in general.

No 'right' answer, only what is right for you.
Instagram and YouTube work great for us (influencer marketing and building our own “influencer” channel). A focus on Quality pays well
You can effectively look this information up yourself by checking on the demographics of CS graduates.

I'm willing to bet that Google's demographics hew pretty closely to CS graduate demographics. You need to look farther upstream.
Personally, I would not approach Go from the same mindset as Node.js. It's great that people do, and explore that paradigm, but it's not my preference.

I write raw Go fronted by Chi when I need to write APIs in Go. I never write web applications in Go; it's usually a mix of things, and often a Laravel app consuming a Go backend.

I'm offering this commentary solely as a point of reference and not a condemnation or judgment of others' patterns.
It's not exactly the model city to look up to.

And California cities are?

Did you look at the rankings in your source? Houston comes in at #9 in terms of worst air pollution.

#1-#8 are all California cities, with the exception of one in Arizona.

In fact, California cities rank the highest in air pollution across all the measures.

It should go over like a lead balloon since it is literally illegal discrimination.
> 2) Tech companies unnecessarily demand butts in chairs in the Bay Area, foisting the externalities onto the commons (infrastructure and housing). Tax them more if they won't go remote/support remote work. Destroy demand for dense housing and the associated infrastructure.

Can this be quantified? When people complain about increased housing demand due to tech, clearly they're not talking about existing CA residents taking up tech jobs (since they already lived there), so we're talking about people immigrating to CA (from other states or countries) to work in tech. But how much does that actually contribute to housing demand?

Let's see some numbers. What percentage of California's population growth since 1978 (prop 13 year) was due to immigration (vs natural pop growth), and what percentage of those immigrants came to work in tech?

It's worse. There are two cases I've observed.

The first is that some of these managers never really understood technical debt in the first place. They ascended to the position because they were willing to do "what it takes" to get the job done, with a "can do" attitude that often meant bowling over those who tried to keep sanity.

The second is the people who learned the right way, got into management, and then were crushed by the deadlines and expectations and the only thing they could figure out (while keeping their job) was to acquire more technical debt until it wasn't their problem anymore.
this doesn't make sense. if the user wants to replace the default with a spammy app, they should have every right to (with explicit UI to do so). spammy app will get uninstalled enough and the market will direct them to not be spammy or die.

choosing apple (or Microsoft, or Google, ...) as the arbiters of what defaults exist on a platform, and making them unchangeable, is anticompetitive. strangely, we're no longer in a climate where calling out companies on this behavior is appealing anymore. Microsoft got much worse treatment when it did this decades ago. apple has been given a pass on this forever.
Just reading Wikipedia at random, made me feel like the solution to the waste problem and global warming is simply to build lots of breeder reactors and forget about non-proliferation. Everything else is just avoiding the only feasible solution. Take the waste and burn it to make more power.
It's discrimination, yes, but in what sense is a quota bigotry?

Isn't that what systems engineering is for?
I don't see browser performance approaching anywhere near what webkit gets without JIT, and as I understand it, operating within the iOS app sandbox effectively nukes any attempt at performing JIT compilation (and I don't think breaking the sandbox for third-party browsers is a good idea either).

PBS Frontline – Amazon Empire: Randy Miller Interview
Thank you! I really appreciate that
No one with the authority to change it is talking about changing it. No one invested in the status quo is willing to delegate the necessary authority to YIMBYs or their surrogates.

You’d be asking existing and potential property owners to vote against their own interests. Progress isn’t impossible, but it’s going to take decades to make meaningful reforms.
This New Yorker article makes it sound like this is something revolutionary. How long ago was Roblox created? That's nothing but a giant game creation sandbox and it lets the creators charge for their content. It's simple and intuitive enough to use that my 10 year old had been creating her own minigames for more than a year now.
Prop 13 does play a part in housing costs in CA, but I suspect it contributes less than limited supply in California metros and low interest rates.

Some of the limited supply is due to building restrictions, but addressing those requires more than just issuing building permits. We can't build high density housing and ignore transportation and infrastructure, and upgrading those tends to be more difficult than building more units.
> You can credit my Economics background for my astute bullshit detector.

Is that because of all the bullshit in economics gave you ample practice in detecting bullshit? Well be patient with me because my limited economics background most likely pales in comparison to yours.

> Yeah, great idea deflation

I didn't say deflation is great. You are reading into things too much. I just said QE and low interest rates had an impact on inflation. Something which you cavalierly dismissed. I said QE and low interest rates prevented deflation.

> It's safe to say it's you, friend, who does not know anything about QE, economic history, theory, or its application.

All you've provided are just ad hominems and just cnbc talking points with nonpertinent rants on the side. Everything you disagree with is "bullshit" and everything you say is "gospel". Typical economics background behavior.

For someone "with an economics background", you would know how it has so many "gurus" and so much unsettled "science" in it. How one nobel prize winning economist could say the world economy is going to collapse after the previous election and another can say it will be great and economics couldn't settle the issue either way.

But then again, this comment thread is precisely why I view economics as a religion rather than a science. Where people make up shit that aligns with their agenda and worship their prophets ( Keynes, Marx, etc ). Sometimes it's hard to differentiate between a religious zealot and someone with "an economics background".

> It is like you have never heard of caches

But isn’t that part of the point of putting nodes into an array? So the nodes are guaranteed to sit next to each other in memory, and so are quite likely to be in cache?

> do not understand that modern CPUs have multiple special prefetchers for pointer chasing and no prefetchers for "rust fanatics"

Doesn’t array indexing reduce down to pointer chasing anyways? Or are you saying that the prefetchers can’t see through “nested” array accesses (e.g. nodes[nodes[i].out[0]].data vs node.out[0].data)?
I was thinking the other day along these lines - statistically, I am most likely to be born when the world's population is at its peak. But apparently it is still growing and has been since I was born. Is this surprising? Is it more surprising if it continues?
Resale just resets to the current value, but then freezes it again. Cities have to plan for the value in perpetuity, which means it's at valuation at year zero, and then negative from then on.

Which means the house is taxed appropriately 1 year in 13. The rest of the time? The city's underwater.

Definitely one of the main hurdles to overcome is gaining trust from users. Right now the approach is to take it slow and gain users one by one, starting with the ones who are the most comfortable with cloud software.

Great point about making it easy to export your data. Would an "export to google sheets" work for you, or is there any specific format you have in mind?
Just to be clear, this is why I suggested normal companies not trying to reform society should base their quota on what they "believe represents the potential population of good hires", possibly based for example on their applicant pool. If only 10% of all engineers are women as of 2020, you need not mandate they they comprise at least 40% of your engineering team.

(While there's a separate discussion to be had about why so few women choose to be engineers, that's not the company's problem to solve.)
One real-world use case is on Genius.com, where it can be used to play songs (or previews, for users without Apple Music) while reading an analysis of their lyrics.
Your list only handles how senior engineers solve problems.

IMO the most important qualities of a senior engineer pertain to knowing what problems to solve, and, at an even higher level of seniority, why those problems need solving.

For example, senior-level engineers will recognize when a problem is not worth solving at all. They might know that a solution is technically possible/feasible, but they will also understand that the engineering resources (i.e. their time) can, and in fact should, be better spent elsewhere -- fixing more egregious bugs, enhancing existing features and developing new ones.

To go back to what you said, being able to "dig, and dig, and dig" until they solve a problem is not what makes someone senior-level. Anyone with sufficiently high levels of dedication and stubbornness can go down rabbit hole after rabbit hole until they stumble upon something that resembles a solution. What distinguishes senior-level engineers is being able to step back and analyze the situation to determine if the rabbit holes are worth diving into.
I doubt this since they already have CallKit which is used for global call answering similar to the Phone app. Maybe the extent is being able to set a default for what app is used to call phone numbers when you click them.

You may have read the excellent article How Doctors Die. If you haven’t, do it now. It says that most doctors, knowing everything I’ve just mentioned above, choose to die quickly and with very limited engagement with the health system.

...I think if I were very debilitated and knew I would die soon, I would want to go to that park or one like it on a very sunny day, surround myself with my friends and family, say some last words, and give myself an injection of potassium chloride.

This will never happen. Or if it did, it would be some kind of huge scandal, and whoever gave me the potassium chloride would be fired or something. But the people dying demented and hopeless connected to half a dozen tubes in ICU rooms aren’t considered scandals by anybody. That’s just “the natural way of things”.

...21st century American hospitals do not need to “cultivate a culture of life”. We have enough life. We have life up the wazoo. We have more life than we know what to do with. We have life far beyond the point where it becomes a sick caricature of itself. We prolong life until it becomes a sickness, an abomination, a miserable and pathetic flight from death that saps out and mocks everything that made life desirable in the first place.
It absolutely is easier to build offices than apartments. And I don’t have a lot of physical needs; I would live in the office if it were legal.

As it is, at my previous job the company allocated a room to be the nap room, but instead turned it into a meditation/massage room because sleeping is forbidden in commercial zoning.
