If you only meant the statement as a rhetorical device or devil's advocate then the second part doesn't really apply to you. For what it's worth, I do think there's value there, so here's how I would have phrased that statement if you're curious:

"The question I have is what portion of the $200k salary is 1) due to the raw talent of the individual 2) because they live in the bay area. From a company's POV, if they have to pay a 2x premium for the local talent, what are they getting for that price, if anything?"

First of all, I switched around the order so you're leading with your priors. This sequence makes it clear that the statement "what portion of the $200k salary is 1) due to the raw talent of the individual 2) because they live in the bay area" is not your conclusion, but your starting point. I phrase the second sentence that way rather than "same for 1/3rd of the price" because it focuses on why people are _already_ paying the extra money when they could buy the cheaper "substitute" product rather than leaving unquestioned the presumption that the two are substitutable.

Sorry if this advice is unwarranted, but given that you've clarified what your intentions were from your post, I think the underlying curiosity is still pretty valuable, and I believe it's worth exploring. I would just personally take a different stylistic approach as described to explore it.

This is excellent! The only reason we haven't moved some of our Go codebase to a Bazel monorepo is the IDE integration.

I have been tinkering with a few ideas to make the existing tooling work with Bazel, but the effort is larger than I had originally expected.
Yep, exactly. I was originally pretty excited about Rust, but I feel like it biases toward large highly-structured projects like C++ does, making it a bit daunting for personal projects. Just a bit too professional for something I'm hacking together over a weekend, lol. Zig feels like it's easier to wrap my head around, and seems optimized for the "pet project" use case.

I also feel like learning Zig is helping me better understand C. I probably wouldn't have been able to contribute much to that Wine patch if Zig hadn't already gotten me more comfortable with pointers, statically-allocated variables, and such in a reasonably-safe way (having prior experience with Perl did help a little bit for pointers, since referencing and dereferencing variables is pretty common in Perl codebases, but it always felt a bit detached from what the machine was actually doing behind the scenes).

> We need some startups in the proof of skill space as vast amounts of time and energy are used by developers providing public proof of their skills rather than actually doing work or improving their own skills.

That completely dismisses the fact that the majority of businesses don't want good coders. They want adequate coders who aren't assholes. You can't create an online test that judges whether someone is enthusiastic, kind, honest, cooperative, and reliable. Nobody wants to work with a "10x developer" who passed coding challenges with flying colors but is unpleasant to work with. I'd much prefer to be judged based on my personality and my willingness to learn.

What you're suggesting would not solve any problems, and at worst could harm people's ability to have a job if employers buy into such poppycock.
How Andrew Made $6K MRR by Becoming a Zapier Certified Expert
One of the most satisfying moves of my career was moving from a FAANG to a "cloud native" series C startup. The "not built here" syndrome is very real at the FAANG's.
A multi host capable personal cloud computing platform. Using primarily existing technologies and influenced by the "Arch Way" (Simplicity, Modernity, Pragmatism, User centrality, Versatility) the design requires a small amount of technical attention and allows a wide range of functionality. To make it immediately useful, I'm creating a few simple applications and utilities: data, social, personal apps.
As I read some women in the article are making as much as a talented ivy league graduate who joins a tech company.

It seems amoral to prevent them from making money, why don't we see it as a talent as we see "tech jobs" as talent?

Or, at that point, you use industry standard solutions and hire the best subject matter experts on that solution. Like, for example, using Cockroach DB and hire one of the core committers cause you're big enough. It's what MSFT did with things like the Python extension for VSCode and DBOX did by hiring Guido since they're a Python shop.

I still shake my head whenever I hear about how Uber built an entire Slack clone for "Uber-scale".
I have enjoyed all of those and the Stockfighter attempt in this space as well. They all seem to have hit a hard obstacle in convincing the general, non-FAANG hiring market that they can provide "better" candidates that any old staffing agency. I have definitely had hiring managers in non-software companies tell me that they will just pick from three resumes from a staffing agency of a standard enterprise developer job without much actual consideration of the candidate's resume or portfolio of previous work.

I do suspect there exists a category of higher-end headhunter agencies with a stable of high-quality, proofed candidates that those agencies can more successfully place than other attempts. Just an anecdote, but I have seen in my area some things that look more like a "small team" placements where that team has some history of helping companies radically improve their software quickly. I am specifically thinking about an actual team that gets hired as a group but into fulltime roles at a company as a unit. This seems to be a prequel to an acquisition of the company that hired them being the end goal. Then that entire team seems to repeat the process elsewhere . . .

You should probably read up on how the Google and Apple system works.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_/_Apple_contact_tracing...

My brief understanding:

- No location data is used at all

- Devices get random rolling identifiers that are shared with other devices when in close range (ie contact is made)

- Devices keep a list of which identifiers they came in contact with in the past

- If someone tests positive, their recently used random identifiers are published, and any devices with those identifiers in their list notify the user that they may have been in contact with someone who has now tested positive.

If you can devise a non-magical way that a Google, Apple, or Subway employee could use that to personally stalk someone it would be quite an interesting whitepaper.

(She has unfortunately become a target of certain right-wing elements, so if you Google her, you will find a lot of non-scientific attacks. You should read her publications directly and form your own opinion.)
But if anything the problem with German Social Democrats (and European left-wing parties in general) is that they've moved too far away from left-wing politics and more towards a neo-liberal financial policy.

I don't see how you can call that ultra leftist. For me that would be introducing a planned economy.

Other signals to look for is your company's inability to raise a round. This is an important one, typically rumors will circulate internally regarding financing. Not being able to raise a round is a signal that says investors, who have made a best effort to judge your company's books have decided your company is not a good investment. Those investors will have been provided a balance sheet that you typically will not have access to. So pay careful attention to this signal.

When I learn fortran years ago, I quickly gave up on string manipulation and custom file parsing. It just not worth it to struggle with string and file manipulation in fortran. Instead, I simply read or dump the array directly into raw file or netcdf file and wrote some python script to prepare input files for the fortran program or read and visualize the output.
Yes - Bazel has excellent protobuf integration compared to other build tools (we were originally using Gradle). We're compiling Kotlin to the JVM, so the build chain is similar to Java's.

Is your response really, well that sucks, your fault enjoy your family being homeless as you did not adequately prepare for a global pandemic? The lack of actually understanding that these are real people that are suffering is amazing to me.

There was a relatively viral tweet I saw a few weeks ago saying "Gen Z career options: Fulfillment Center worker or OnlyFans" with gendered undertones. For what it's worth, though, while less common, it's not that rare to see men have (and quite successful) OnlyFans. But I agree with the economic sentiment of what you're saying. It's hard not to believe that we're seeing the middle class being completely hollowed out during this pandemic.

I really dislike all the down votes you received, this is a fair question. People need to realize what they could have done better and the first step of being honest to yourself is be honest to others.

It is real easy to get lost in your finances when during good times your income exceeds your expenses to the point you don't even know what all your expenses are.

Where many get trapped is in what many economist term as monthlies. These are all those ten, twenty, and thirty, dollar reoccurring payments that when added all up can be a significant drain on your finances. They are also the sort of expense that needs to be jettisoned fast when down turns occur. Some cannot, that much is obvious, but others can be ended completely or reduced. I have seen more than my fair share of people blowing a thousand on food in a month.

So sit down, figure out your expenses. Come back in a few hours, a day later, and more, and see what else you need to write down. Go read your bank and CC statements and see what is truly going out and where.

Put your thousand or so aside but your first goal before the new shiny computer, phone, or worse, car, should be six months and from there build up to a year while factoring all your monthly expenses both new and recently acquired.

We should not have to be told this but I bet any number of you can point to people you work at who have no financial sense. Don't be like them.

What should the OP to whom the person I replied to reply to? Jettison every expense they can. Shelter which includes utilities and food come first. After than find ways to reduce or eliminate the rest. It certainly is not fun but it is something you can and should plan for.

Here is the bonus part, once you get your six months savings you may find yourself not willing to make so many impulse buys because by then you realize what it cost

Hi,

The scheduling part is close to AWS instance scheduler solution. The added value of Microtica Saving Schedules is that it's much easier to manage compared to aws saving schedule where you have to update CloudFormation whenever you would need to change configuration. This could become hard to manage especially when you have multiple accounts and multiple different resource groups with different schedule configs.

On-demand start/stop of resources associated with the schedule is also something that is hard to deal with when solution is done with CloudFormation.

We also added additional features like: 1. automated resource tagging 2. enable/disable schedule 3. cost and saving dashboard 5. notifications

The nvidia pgi compiler compiles CUDA to multi-core x86-64. There are other third-party compilers for CUDA->x86-64 (one LLVM-based one from Intel).

There is a "library replacement" for CUDA from AMD called HIP, that you can use to map CUDA programs to ROCm. But... it doesn't work very well.

NVIDIA also open-sourced CUDA support for Clang and LLVM. So anybody can extend clang to map CUDA to any hardware supported by LLVM, including SPIRV. The only company that would benefit from doing this would be AMD, but AMD doesn't have many LLVM contributors.

Intel drives clang and LLVM development for x86_64, paying a lot of people to work on that.

Wow, can anyone imagine reading this in the beginning of 2019? The totalitarians come out in huge numbers recently.

It was once considered totalitarian to be asked at the East German border if one had any "contraband" (books or magazines that were frowned upon).

Now at the U.S. border one can be asked if one has any "contraband".

Next we all get a government id to pass on to private businesses. How about a "social credit" score, China style?
I'd say they aimed for the wrong market (graphics processing, where they were competing against very specialized and experienced competitors) and failed to partner.

Maybe Intel ~1998 could have solo-launched a new architecture, but the only way they'd get uptake now is something in cooperation with AMD.

And maybe the AMD partnership bridge is burnt from previous shenanigans, but it seems like both AMD and Intel would have incentive in more tightly coupling graphics compatibility to CPU ISA, vs Nvidia designing their own.

That said, in that hypothetical reality, Nvidia wouldn't have been able to innovate and execute nearly as fast as they have.
