Why do you think it’s a silly reason? I don’t want to spend a lot of hours every day working with something I genuinely dislike.

Don’t get me wrong, I know I’m fortunate enough since I get to pick and chose, but the time we spend on project management, even as developers, isn’t exactly insignificant.
In Rust, you can write:

let x = 5i32;

Sadly it's nowhere near as elegant for string literals.

The Vitaly Korchevsky indictment probably comes close to demonstrating a model of what this would look like:

A few linux linux distos, GNU Hurd experiment, rust experiment, BeOS inspired, but none of the main stream BSD OSes? Not including the most popular linux distribution that doesn't have systemd - Android. Not including macOS, but i guess it's not OSS, so it doesn't count. Doesn't include Alpine linux.

That list is hella weird and should be named "Experimental OS that I'm curious about, but don't want to run myself. Also, none of them has systemd"
I agree with your impression as well and am also over 40. This site I think generally does not seem to agree with this sentiment.
> Physical IP for up-to-date silicon fab nodes is never free.

This is baffling. My understanding of how a startup that wants to make its own custom CPU would work is this:

- Write Verilog or HDL sources for your CPU

- Test your CPU in sims and FPGA's, fix any bugs in the Verilog

- Send the Verilog files off to a fab

- Write a check in the $1 - $10 million range for the fixed-cost component of production (i.e. the mask)

- Get a shipment of ASIC chips for like a $1 unit cost

- ??? (your specific business model)

- Profit

Are you saying nobody has open-sourced Verilog files for a RISC-V CPU? This seems like something that's easily within the resources of volunteers, and is probably actually less work than all of the kernel and toolchain support.
It's really more about dividing capital into the kind that is "natural" and limited - land, mineral rights, EM spectrum; some would also say copyright and patents - and the kind that is produced by human labor. It's a bit fuzzy in practice.
one thing, I don't understand about these companies is why base your locations in super expensive cities i.e NY, SF, Seattle. And be hurting for cash. if lyft had focused on recruiting in low cost of living cities for decent engineers. & have a good remote program. they wouldn't be hurting for cash atm.
I'm not advocating, I'm explaining why it already happened twenty years ago. Polygons can be trivially subdivided to a rounded surface or converted to a subdivision surface. This is something anyone who has used maya, houdini, lightwave, softimage or 3D studio has seen their entire career.

If you think using polygons solves no problems, I'm guessing you haven't tried to make a pipeline with nurbs (not many have in this day and age). Texturing takes specific paint and texturing tools while the resolution difference between patches complicates things even further. Even getting the model detail is difficult. Everything about it is painful. It isn't even a contest, everyone transitioned to polygons and no one looked back.
I wonder if anything will shake the idea that the stock market is a one way trip? We are back to 2016 on the NYSE right now.
It's not immediately clear to me that they can't.

Twitter makes NO guarantees that they will deliver every tweet to all consumers simultaneously, or even at all. They don't guarantee they won't hold the tweet up while they decide how to process it - they certainly analyze tweets for content and automatically hold some for manual review, for example. So why on earth couldn't they accept the tweet, process the information in it, and make corporate decisions about how to, say, adjust their investment portfolio... before they put the tweet's contents out on the wire for the world? Is there anything in the ToS that says they can't act on the contents of tweets you send them? You shared the information with Twitter with the intent of publishing it to your followers - but the agent you handed the information to first was Twitter.

There's a sci-fi black mirror kind of scenario in there, too... It's quite possible that if the president of the US were to declare war, the first place that information would reach outside the White House and Pentagon would be a Twitter HTTP service.

Think about the responsibility the software that has to handle, route, and process that request bears. Think about the threat model the systems that software is part of need to consider, if that really is potentially one way it could be used.

Worse still, it might not even be the 'send tweet' handler that gets notice first; the twitter client into which the message is being typed, sending back analytic data to help optimize its autocomplete suggestions or pushing data to the server so it will be ready to offer an appropriate gif to accompany the tweet, might be sending back the draft text of the announcement before the president hits 'Send'.

So here's your story writing prompt:

A Twitter engineer reviewing logs trying to track down a bug in the gif autosuggest algorithm chances across a series of requests from the president's iPhone in the last two minutes, containing text from a tweet being composed, that look for all the world like the drafting and redrafting of an announcement that the country is at war...

What does Twitter do?
But this is the thing these aren’t new designs.

Everyone of these ventilators is basically an existing design just with different off the shelf components.

None of these projects created a new design or a new ventilation mode.

The vast majority of these are CPAP machines some maybe able to provide APAP in firmware.

If you look at the designs they are basically split into two categories the ambu which just basically compress an off the shelf ambu bag with an actuator or pump/turbine based machines that are essentially very similar to those which are given to people suffering form sleep apnea.

I don’t think there is even a ventilation mode we haven’t thought of yet even the most advanced ventilator on the market are mechanically very simply machines the cost is usually based on the brand and which modes they support.

This isn’t a field in which you can have a major breakthrough and not to dismiss this effort it’s not a field in which a breakthrough is needed.

Ventilators are cheap by medical standards even at $20,000 a pop the cost isn’t the issue the issue is that simply we never needed to produce them at such quantities in such a short time frame and for that you don’t need a new design you just need to accept that you aren’t going to reinvent the wheel and just take a proven design and make more of them and sort the licensing after this.

The fact that some teams had a working prototype within a day should be a very strong indication that there isn’t much here.

Having a turbine and a microcontroller to set the positive pressure on the outlet or having it set up how many times per minute an ambu bag should be compressed and at which rate isn’t a particularly difficult engineering challenge to conquer.

This is why there are now 100’s if not 1000’s of virtually identical designs out there from various teams across the world.

Yes anyone can build them in their garage and yes if the world have ended it would’ve been better than nothing but we have real options out there that can be just as easily manufactured if we actually had the will.

If 130-150k as a software developer in one of the top two most expensive cities in the US seems like a lot to you, you are definitely undervalued at your current job.
Then, it sounds like you need to either find additional sources of support, or turn down the internship.
This has nothing to do with order and everything to do with the chosen grammar of C and C++.

You can have an ambiguous grammar in a language that puts the type after. A * B could be ambiguous even if A is the identifier name and B the type.

All arguments in the "Language Design" notes are of the same nature.
Given the state of the courts right now, you'd likely be months away from any action being taken.
I would summarise your points as “I don’t like tourists, so I will make arguments against digital nomads” (which you summarise with your last sentence which is flamebait IMHO).

> $1,200 in tax from 4,000 digital nomads is...$5,000,000.

The export income from nomads spending money earned elsewhere is the total amount they spend less the imports they cost: it is certainly not just the VAT. USD10000 x 4000 is 40 million of export income - that is actually a significant number that politicians would chase after (well, they would here in NZ).

> Thailand's economy generates $500,000,000,000 a year.

Thailand’s export income is ~215 billion (2017), not 500.

> The expat contribution is a tiny, minuscule drop in the bucket.

Irrelevant: you could say about every small export business, so why not close them all?

Economically, look at the marginal benefit of adding one digital nomad, and decide whether the benefits (export income, but also positive externalities) outweigh the costs (negative externalities like social costs of having “bad” foreigners, or “colonialism” etcetera).

The marginal export income from a digital nomad is say USD10000 per annum. That is economically great, so long as the social costs are not too high.

Note that I’m from NZ and I definitely think it would be economically worthwhile to have high income digital nomads come here even if they pay zero income tax (see my cousin comment for that analysis).

Fundamentally: Thailand accepts foreign cockwomble tourists, so I can see little reason not to accept cockwomble “digital nomads” as well.

Edit: I actually empathise with your sentiments: New Zealand gets a lot of tourists (1 in 7 jobs are directly in the tourist industry), and for a long time we allowed foreigners to buy property, so I have seen some of the social damage they do. Albeit the damage from tourists is much less than Thailand from what I have personally seen. Although NZ is more of a “white” country, we still have mixed feeling towards wealthy US people e.g. Theil bought himself a passport here. NZ is more egalitarian than the US, but still has more wealth inequality than the scandy countries (on average most Maori are hit particularly hard).

Edit 2: It’s only really a legal difference between (a) a person that works at home then travels to spend money as a tourist, and (b) a person that works as a digital nomad while a tourist. The distinction is arbitrary. Countries can make whatever rules they like, but if you want tourists, you want digital nomads. NZ gets plenty of backpacker tourists that spend fuck all per day and we welcome them.
> Journalists however, having a special need to protect their sources, and being aware of a potential lack of E2EE can always find other ways - similar to what they used to hide their sources before E2EE, when their phones could be tapped, etc, including intermediaries, face to face meetings, etc.

Except now there's stingray towers, scraped social media profiles, phone metadata, databases of license plate reader data, Palantir, CCTV with facial recognition, Clearview AI, and an army of private tech companies attempting to create detailed profiles of everyone on the internet and selling that information to god knows what malicious actors/governments.

As technology has progressed, journalists have accordingly updated their methods for protecting sources. E2EE is one of the technologies in the 20th/21st century that is essential to that end.
This is remarkable. I would love to see this in black mirror
In our case, we already signed our offers (and most of us turned down many other Big N offers). It makes me wonder about the future of hiring; both sides (talent and employers) will certainly be more selective and wary going forward.

This idea of unilateral "freedom of speech" is beyond goofy - some actions that deliberately cause massive amounts of distress, even in the short-term, must be attenuated in some manner.

The examples you give are of a kind that give minorities rights that cannot be overridden by voting.

EC and Senate are a very different arrangement - they don't protect any rights as such, they simply give some people more votes than others. Which means that not only those people can then veto majority decisions (even when they don't actually infringe on their rights) - but they can impose legislation that curtails rights of the majority.

As for it being a short-sighted view that majority should generally have its way, well, here's Federalist #22, for one:

"Every idea of proportion and every rule of fair representation conspire to condemn a principle, which gives to Rhode Island an equal weight in the scale of power with Massachusetts, or Connecticut, or New York; and to Delaware an equal voice in the National deliberations with Pennsylvania, or Virginia, or North Carolina. Its operation contradicts the fundamental maxim of republican Government, which requires that the sense of the majority should prevail. Sophistry may reply, that sovereigns are equal, and that a majority of the votes of the States will be a majority of confederated America. But this kind of logical legerdemain will never counteract the plain suggestions of justice and common sense. It may happen that this majority of States is a small minority of the People of America; and two thirds of the People of America could not long be persuaded, upon the credit of artificial distinctions and syllogistic subtleties, to submit their interests to the management and disposal of one third. The larger States would after a while revolt from the idea of receiving the law from the smaller. To acquiesce in such a privation of their due importance in the political scale, would be not merely to be insensible to the love of power, but even to sacrifice the desire of equality. It is neither rational to expect the first, nor just to require the last. The smaller States, considering how peculiarly their safety and welfare depend on Union, ought readily to renounce a pretension, which, if not relinquished, would prove fatal to its duration."

Was Hamilton short-sighted when he wrote this criticism? You can argue that it was originally aimed at the Articles of Confederation, not EC and Senate. But it's clear that this is a rather generic criticism, and it's applicable whenever "larger States ... receiving the law from the smaller" becomes commonplace - which depends on how many states there are, and their relative sizes, which have changed a lot since the original 13 colonies. Looking at the outcomes of the presidential and parliamentary elections in the past 20 years, I'd say that this condition is already fully in force, and so is the warning.

WTF, you're just spreading nonsense. Take a look at this image and see if you can tell just looking at it which of them is tsla and at what time musk commented: https://imgur.com/OwwKVyf that includes every one of the stocks you mentioned and there is one clear outlier. No other stock has a clear change at that time, and the behavior of the one stock is clearly different than the rest.

I do not doubt you could perform this same analysis limited to tech companies and get the same result (though comparing tesla to these tech companies is rather irrationally aspirational).
Looking around my office (when it's open) proves that there are Gen X-ers in software.
None, but I believe they hold political power both in terms of dealership associations and also in terms of bargaining rights from manufacturers.

It's an outdated system that should have been dead a decade ago, but not yet.
Exactly. I'll often use a shared useOnMount and useOnUnmount for additional clarity for those in our codebase unfamiliar with how useEffect works.. there's nothing preventing you from writing custom hooks to replicate the effect of lifecycle methods for the transition period.

For the simplest cases, class components might be clearer with its clearly labeled lifecycle methods. But most of the time, if I have multiple different things happening on mount, hooks are definitely simpler as you can divide / encapsulate based on feature functionality rather than lifecycle.

This is my favorite example for showing how this effects code structure: https://twitter.com/threepointone/status/1056594421079261185

If you then extract those bits into custom hooks in order to name that piece of functionality (e.g. in that example, useTitle() and useWindowResize()), the clarity improves dramatically.
* Lambda syntax took years after it was mainstream.

* I don't think Java still has string interpolation.

* List, Map literals are not a thing Java has either.

* Value types aren't in yet.

* If as expressions. You have to use ternary.

These aren't complaints. I know what I'm getting with Java. No hate.
In many ways, I think HN has a very narrow view of the industry.
It’s not a question so much that Tesla and SpaceX are amazing. It’s just that why does EM have to make stock influencing statements like this. It hurts people financially. Just watch out for that.
Higher level tooling doesn't prioritize this. AFAIK neither Gitlab nor Github have an actual option in their CI implementations for "test every commit before allowing merge". And both of those are everywhere.

There's also nothing out there which enforces practice - i.e. new code must be covered by some amount of test case (I'll settle for "it is executed in some way as part of build").

These are all things that could be done, but they're not priorities to the big players evidently, and good luck to me trying to get any organization to commit to putting that tooling in or running something custom that does it.

Breakdowns are available on the rest of our site (check out http://levels.fyi/comp.html). We just used total packages for our end of the year report to deliver more focus to the totals since that's the main objective of using a median value (ie the median total package isn't guaranteed to reflect the middle stock package or median base salary. That said, total compensation is what candidates look at when switching companies and what recruiters have to match if they really want to attract a candidate. This along with the bull run stock market is what has led to such an increase in comp over last few years.
I live in a building in (Bay Area) Oakland Chinatown.

A phrase the older Chinese folks use a lot in my building is "the older generation" or "the younger generation". As in, "the younger generation likes buying things online", or "the older generation prefers making a phone call".

It's made me think more generally about generational differences and how they affect buying patterns, and patterns of doing business generally. I realized, for example, that I really can't stand dealing with contractors (e.g. HVAC) in the older generation who refuse to use Google Calendar or email, and insist on doing everything over the phone, and face-to-face.

I think this "human face of the company" is a good example of a generational difference at play. I categorically do not want to interact with anyone at a dealership. I get product information from word-of-mouth/friends, YouTube, and other sources. Provided a company put some money into creating a customer experience that offered the same level of customization you'd get from a dealership experience (color, trim level, etc) I would be the first person to make a $20-30K purchase online. Not least of which because I'd be confident they'd have built a system not to fuck up my order vs. however it would get input by the person at the dealership who inevitably needs to enter it into the OEM's system to order it.

More and more it feels like I'd rather just rip the humans out and deal more directly with a company's back-office systems (e.g. for placing a car order), than have to play a giant game of telephone explaining something, only to have a human screw it up when entering it. It also annoys me when I call customer service and they remind me 20 times that I should use the website. Of course I should use the goddamned website. I wouldn't be calling customer service if I didn't try that first. This is probably something that won't change until people now in their 20s/30s are in positions to make these decisions in companies, at which time there will be some new trend the "oldsters" don't get. So it goes.
