Good points.

I'm curious if there's anywhere world-wide that's tried land swaps on a large scale. Maybe Japan?

In the sense of "I give you my house + lot (and my neighbors do), you give me back X units in the more dense development you replace them with."

I read on an article here that China does something similar, but that was more geared around transit right of ways and farmland, vs increasing density in low density urban areas.

As you pointed out, California seems like it needs a carrot and a stick. A carrot, to financially incentivize existing homeowners to be part of the solution. And a stick, to discourage the worst tendencies of sit-on-it-forever.

I can only speak to HFT.

For dev roles, Python experts (emphasis on expert) and experts in modern C++ have the easiest time. C experts and systems programmers with assembly expertise can also find a job, but the market is smaller for them (although higher-paying).

OS-level and systems programming are valuable. Understanding computer architecture is important, and computer systems as well.

Credentials are an important filtering mechanism for them, so if you didn't go to a top 10 school, your resume needs to make up for it (or you need to be a very experienced hire). Working at a FAANG company or a bank doesn't necessarily make up for not going to a top school.

Successful devs at HFTs usually have a ~50-hour workweek or are very efficient programmers.

This was amazing on Google's part. We are a small company with a teeny-weeny seed round, struggling to take off and Google's credits literally extended our runway and saved the team a lot of anxiety in the next 12 months.
Just wanted to share with HN, not least because this is what I had criticized Google for in the past right here.

Whether you're talking about utilitarianism or microeconomics, your utility function has to take those things into account.

If you use a statistical average model to distribute resources you'd end up with a very unhappy population.

Did you never do the experiment in school where you randomly distribute candy, calculate the class average utility score, then allow people to trade and calculate it again?

It's always much higher after trading. Trade creating value is one of the central tenets of economics, and it's based on the concept of utility heterogeneity.
Thank you, very interesting point of view. I don't plan to homeschool full-time my children, they love to meet their friends at school! I actually read a lot but nowadays mostly on my phone or eink tablet which is not very visible for them.
I hope Rust adds the major anticipated features (GATs, const generics, specialization) soon, or alternatively decides to not implement them altogether. I'm a rather new Rust developer, but still I very quickly ran into the issue of needing a nightly version of rustc because one of my dependencies (PyO3) relied on one of these features. It would be awesome to have some periodic updates from the compiler team on the progress thereof.
It’s sort of amazing how easy and widely accepted it is to submit, under oath, completely different corporate financial attestations depending on whether you are dealing with the IRS, the SEC, or FINRA.

I can imagine 50 years ago, when they all got the ability to check electronically, and knew that everybody was cheating, but they couldn’t do anything because it would it would crash the economy, and also these computers were taking their jobs, so the agencies decided to be willfully ignorant and inefficient and setting rules according to whatever people were doing already. So now it’s like, “OMG we never saw this coming!”
Anyhow isn't really about error handling, but about error reporting. With an ordinary enum error, I can match and easily handle the error if I want to handle some errors in special ways. If I want to handle an anyhow error, I have to do string matching on the message, or try to downcast it, which is cumbersome.

What anyhow makes easier is to collect many types of errors together and reporting the errors to the user.
I wonder if this will be good for open source. Is there a RISK-V-like equivalent of whatever it is that's being blocked?

Yes of course. If the algorithm operates on existing allocations, then it doesn't allocate any memory. Similarly the algorithm might operate on a fixed set of integers, which would not require allocations at all, even in Java.

The Baroque Cycle seems to end well IMHO.
Same governmemt can spend the same money within the same local economy by paying programmers. There is no valid reason and not that many "reasonable points of view" about paying a private company 5000 times over for the same piece of software, and still not owning it or being able to get full functionality out of it or being able to see into it or your taxpayers (who are subject to it's operation) being able to see into it, vs paying programmers to write the same thing 1 times over and then you DO own it and can get full functionality out of it and can see into it, and every town in your whole country can use it with no legal burden, no audits, no broken license mangers... And tomorrow, instead of paying for another 100 copies of the same license yet again, you can pay those programmers to make what you have even better or build the next new thing.

There is no valid reason to just pay rent to anyone for nothing, even if they are a local company. That's not a good enough reason.
> The TPP would simply have incentivized more manufacturing to leave the west for other asian countries.

It would have incentivized manufacturing to leave China, along with a large share of all the western dollars currently feeding the regime.

Trump's strategy doesn't really seem to decouple us from China so much as it seems to invert the relationship.
You can be certain that there is heavy government involvement in the case, just as there was in the SNC Lavalin case. The government is not simply going to leave an important matter of state like this to the vagaries of the courts.

> This is primarily an argument for amending our laws in response to this case, not ignoring them in this case.

The political exception to extradition quite obviously applies here. This is a standard clause in extradition treaties. The thing is, the Canadian government is afraid to use this clause for political reasons - fear of retaliation from the Trump administration.
I’m surprised to hear that you believe this to be a myth. The only sources claiming this to be a myth seem to be popular news sites referencing each other in a circular fashion. Here’s a detailed study on the matter: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3312275/

This is the big question for all of Wall Street right now. So far it’s not been too bad but there are gaps here and there.
Man, I get your point, they did/are doing tons of bad stuff. But so is every-fucking-body else, everywhere. Industrial espionage is a thing for more than a century, everybody tries to steal whatever they can, even US from Europe and vice versa. US secret services help their own private companies get an edge (for some other favors obviously), and so do other secret services.

Friendships among nations is a very relative term.

> More specifically, if you can find another place which sells the same model for less, then you get it for the other price.

> Thing is, they are the only seller of that model. The vendor has a model X123 for that shop, a model X124 for another place, etc. And that shop is the only one who can sell that specific model. So they of course have the lowest price.

This is endemic in the mattress industry. Products that are identical and manufactured by the same company will be relabelled based on the company that buys them.

That's why your "dream-air luxury liner" could not get a discount because the other company has a "dream-air luxury comfort", which is the same exact product.

Hard to imagine people will accept a return to brown air and constant carnage. Most living people have never seen air this clear, or experienced cities so quiet.
Maybe but at some point it turns into a case where people are constantly beating each other with sticks of various sizes. And then it's not civilized anymore.

So it seems like either that stick needs to get much more effective very quickly, or probably more reasonably at this point we need to try to de-escalate somehow.

In my opinion there is a very obvious lack of cultural and political integration which is inevitably going to be resolved. One way or another. I don't see a plan for doing it peacefully really being promoted by leaders. Which to me indicates that the leadership and overall awareness of the situation is inadequate. And probably we are going to be totally fucked by this ignorance and stupidity at some point.

They may not be handled over to the Govt, however the mods should not get so powerful that they create their own quasi dictatorship in terms of what is allowable and what is not. There should also be recourse for people to raise their issues at a neutral subreddit where supermods can arbitrate.
Absolutely. Where I live, the city administration sent a survey to people, asking what projects to tackle, where to save money/increase income etc etc. One of the options in the "saving money" category was going open source. You can bet it was one of the things I chose and in the end, it ranked 3rd which is not bad. Will be interesting to see how the administration will vote on it.
pretty shocking how biased these hn comments are against china. it's clear the US has lost leadership in the crucial technology of 5g and is trying everything it can to stop the leader, huawei. while i'm no china-phile, the US actions is just silly and will have far reaching consequences that will just quicken the demise of our technological prowess. and if you're gonna argue from the point of view that huawei broke the law, then let them have their day in court. we're acting like judge, jury and executioner. how is that right?? shows up hn as a bunch of biased tech bros! let the downvotes begin
Plus a highly contagious virus transmitting quickly through a close knit immigrant community should be unsurprising to anyone with any idea about epidemiology.

This article (about the Assyrian-Syriac immigrants, who aren't as dark skinned as Somali, but are also hard hit) explains how they come into contact with a lot more sick people and thus transmit it:

Earlier this month, the country’s public health agency reported that people in Sweden with foreign backgrounds are disproportionately represented among those who need hospitalization.

That squares with the experience of Terez Kino, a resident of the city of Södertälje and member of its large population of Assyrian-Syriacs, an ethnic minority scattered across Turkey, Syria, and Iraq. She used to have five carers, all of immigrant background as well, who would come to her home and tend to her needs. Four are now sick at home with virus symptoms. Her elderly sister has also contracted the virus from her carers, and her brother recently died of the virus. Her son is now taking care of her.

That's the danger of being the patsy. I think more and more people should try to transact business at an arm's distance with China in this kind of environment. The opposite is true as well. Your average Chinese businessperson should think long and hard about transacting any business with the US that requires their physical presence in the US.

All nations have way too many laws. You will be in violation of one of them. So the only thing the Chinese or US government needs to do is pick a US or Chinese citizen, and then hold up the probably 10 laws that he/she is violating. It's impossible to live somewhere and be law abiding while simultaneously not knowing what all the laws are.

Let's be frank, we're not at the level of the elites in these nations who are arguing over which nation has the largest most attractive tits. On our level, and I'm talking to western and Chinese workers alike, but we're so far down the chain that we won't have people out there pulling strings for us. You don't want to be the hapless patsy sitting in US and Chinese prisons for 10 years while the elites compare dick size or whatever. To paraphrase that old adage, "They can remain irrational much longer than you can comfortably sit in prison."

Hi HN.

I made a dedicated homepage for the Cloud Resume Challenge [0], which has been making the rounds for the last few weeks.

Basically it's a project anyone can complete to level up their cloud skills - but I'm specifically looking for people between jobs or new to the industry whose resumes I can boost to help them get a job in the cloud.

I do believe that if you can, in good faith, complete the Cloud Resume Challenge, you will already have more useful skills than a lot of people who graduate from university computer science programs. Specifically: you will understand something about full-stack software development, version control, infrastructure as code, automation, continuous integration and delivery, cloud services and “serverless”, application security, and networking. And you’ll have learned by doing, because I didn’t give you enough instructions to figure any of this out without going down some late-night rabbit holes. Most importantly, you will have demonstrated the number-one skill in a cloud engineer’s toolbox: the ability to learn fast and google well.

Would love your thoughts!

Compare to NYC, which has no cohesive plan for people movement without public transit.

It’s going to be a challenge to come out of this crisis in car-centric American cities. Even a small mode-shift to private cars in somewhere like NYC will cause insane gridlock, air pollution, and quality of life issues. Our cultural dislike of walking and biking is going to make healthy recovery much more difficult.

I think happiness would become too hard to define here, rather than breaking down.
I don't believe free morphine injections would provide a lot of long term happiness, additionally it wouldn't be a sustainable way to live economically, leading to poverty-induced unhappiness.

Children do deserve more happiness, because they're more vulnerable and have a longer lifespan, investing in children makes sense for humanity, additionally a parent's well-being is often connected to their childrens' well being. Still, a child's logical utility demand is not _that_ much more to call them a monster, it's within limits.

Utilitarianism's problem is that it's hard to quantify, the logical basis seems pretty solid to me.
It will force senators to need a partner in crime. Communication increases the likelihood of getting solid evidence of insider trading, and also gives another leverage point if the partner in crime can be pressured to produce evidence. The smart ones will still get away with it.
I had an ethnically Russian co-worker from Donetsk at a previous job right around the time Russia started "supporting" the rebels there (i.e. sending in a large number of their own troops as "tourists" etc.) and while he personally hated Russia, he lamented that the vast majority of his extended family back in the Donetsk region supported and welcomed the Russians
And yet US companies keep going back to China.

Most technological invention is paid for by the US government investment. Name any high technology and it's lineage points back to some government grant or purchase agreement.

Companies that use these inventions and innovate on top to bring them to market are themselves using technology we paid for. But we don't call that "stealing". Do you think they care that China also gets them?

50 years ago banking was a very personal business. A business would work locally with their own bank. The bank knew the owners and since they banked with them knew their cash flows. Now banks are national conglomerates. There is a lot of cost in banking and many of the large banks have moved to automated systems to reduce overhead and labor. This doesn't excuse the bank but they are permitting credit for all sorts of things they probably don't want on their books. It's a bit of a mess right now in the banking industry. You may ask are they knowingly allowing these loose standards? Perhaps, but I'm willing to bet it's more in the line of ignorance is bliss.
