It's never been that simple: let me give you a trivial (and oversimplified) example.

A baker's job is essential in almost every country in the world, yet the time and effort required to get to a reasonable level of skill is pretty small. Thus, if compensation was increased, competition in the market would quickly drive the compensation back down again.

Pay is, unfortunately, not proportional to the value to the society.

Humans should and do work on making it fairer, but it's been a long road so far and we are nowhere close to it (but we are better off than a couple hundred years ago).
It looks like ipv6 matching is supported since late 2017 (version 10.0 [0]), although the changelog states that "not all ban actions are IPv6-capable now". As for IPv6 capabilities, I don't have any recent experience with the software.

I agree it’s not a marker of skill, but I do see it as evidence of curiosity.
Yes. Redis has very valid use cases.

You're quite right: people using it as a mere cache don't get most of its benefits.
> Recommended by Andie [redacted last name]. Arranged for carpenter apprentice Devon [redacted last name] to replace bathroom vanity top at [redacted street address], Vancouver, on 02 October 2007.

Given that, surely Troy can contact those people and ask "who knew this info?". Not many people would know who replaced my bathroom vanity top...
Polish, but I think all Slavic languages are similar.

BTW this is why "decadent west" work so well in Russian propaganda. "Zapad" is west but also "sunset" or literally "falling [sun]".
Let's take 2^3 * 2^5, we know that we can just add the numbers in the exponent to get 2^8. We can extend this, for example what would 2^3 * 2^0 be? If we want our rule to be consistent, it would be 2^3, implying that 2^0 = 1.

This works fine for all numbers except for 0. Like you pointed out, 0^5 = 0, 0^1 = 0, so it would make sense that 0^0 = 0? but if x^0 = 1, we have an issue.
> intel’s 10nm is more advanced than TSMCs 7nm

Depends on which Intel 10nm you're talking about, and which TSMC 7nm. Comparing Intel's failed initial 10nm from Cannonlake against something that is in mass production on the TSMC side isn't exactly fair. With respect to the 10nm Intel product that you can actually buy, TechInsights has this to say: "Produced in Intel's new 10 nm 2nd Gen process that should offer comparable performance to TSMC’s 7 nm process"— and that's coming from the pros with electron microscopes who teardown these chips to reverse engineer process tech. Numbers reported elsewhere (eg. WikiChip) indicate that TSMC's 7nm allows for about a 15% smaller SRAM cell, and AMD's Renoir notebook processors seem to have about the same overall transistor density advantage over Intel's Ice Lake notebook processors.

And as far as I can tell, AMD's not even using the EUV 7nm process from TSMC yet.

You miss the point -- if you send your kids off to school/daycare/whatever while you commute an hour to an office, spend 8 hours there, plus socialising, then an hour back, you can send your kids off to school/daycare/whatever for 8 hours.
> Compare these supposed woes to any contractor and their clients, and this sort of bellyaching would be just be laughed at. "Theft"!!! Come on.

I don't follow. The contractor isn't forced to work for months without pay against his will if the client stops paying.

> This is a cost of doing business. 4-6 months of rent

Losing 4-6 months of rent erases multiple years of profits on that property

> There's huge asymmetry here, landlords have lots of wealth, lots of flexibility, lots of recourse and backup plans, but their tenants often do not

By your logic all business owners similarly are very wealthy and can absorb large losses. So all businesses have a duty to give way several years of profits to needy customers. Food is a necessity of life. Do restaurants have a duty to let customers eat for free?

What's the deal with the alternator function (in app.js)? Why should keypresses be read only on every other attempt?

Also, is there some kind of implicit sleep or requestAnimationFrame somewhere? Or is it busy-looping and polling for key presses as fast as it can?

For starters, I don't see any indication that the parent comment pretends that these things are limited to certain countries. They're simply adding their perspective on India, and we can agree or disagree with the points but most people on HN are not intimately familiar with the country so it may have some value.

It also remains the case that the things they claim seem especially pronounced in India compared to in the US or certainly other developed countries. Is there no way to indicate this in a discussion about India without someone responding with a list of problems they see in the US?
Or could be the spammers sanitized them.

Couldnt you do the same using two additional digits? Say binary and hexedicmal arithmetic are as easy as decimal if you substract the bias of being used to decimal.
With locks it's kinda reverse that a homebrew solution might actually be more secure than a commercial one (consumer grade at least). Mostly due to security by obscurity. The average thief won't take the time to reverse engineer your lock solution but just pick the next best break-in option which would be smashing a window or breaking the lock/frame. (Unless of course you have really dedicated enemies that want to specifically get something, but then no solution would be perfect. They will just bash your door in with an axe). But a thief might scan for Bluetooth signatures of known broken lock systems and just do drive by brake ins that way.

I'm thinking of building a elektronic lock solution myself because it would actually increase security for me. As currently I often neglect to lock the doors when going to the back of the yard. Mostly because I don't have the key on me. And my kids are at an age that they will still neglect it for many years.
A quick drive-by thief could be in and out in no time. An electric lock with a rfid and keypad would be a proper solution as it always locks when you close the door and are never locked out (unless the power fails but then you use a backup key stored somewhere safe).
The inherent cost effectiveness of missiles is also a problem for China if they want to invade Taiwan. Taiwan has a large arsenal of anti-ship missiles that can be launched from trucks. Combined with naval mines, they can make an invasion by sea very costly.

Early tech investments are risky, but if your competition has tech 10 years more advanced than yours, there is probably no amount of money that would allow you to catch up, surpass, and make enough profits to recover the investment, mainly because you can't buy time, and your competitor won't stop to innovate, they are making a profit and you aren't, etc.

So to me the main realization here is that in tech, if one competitor ends up with tech that's 10 years more advanced than the competition, it is basically a divergence-type of phenomenon. It isn't worth it for the competition to even invest in trying to catch up, and you end up with a monopoly.

> CUDA fortran, yes you said it, CUDA fortran. The rest is OpenACC.

You can also mix C, OpenACC, and CUDA C, and compile to x86-64. So I'm really not sure about what point you are trying to make here.

You were claiming that OpenACC and CUDA only runs on nvidia's hardware, yet I suppose you now agree that this isn't true I guess.

I do agree that PGI is still nvidia owned, but there are other compilers that do what PGI does.
The question wasn't whether if it is allowed, but how many implementations will actually accept it ;)
Thanks! That's a really cool fact to start my Friday.
I do not disagree that it's really tough to quantify a lot of those things and most of them will be estimates and may be wrong, in particular over longer periods of time. But in the context of the article (a larger business with profit generating goals) I don't think you can walk up to management and say "lets switch technology, we're excited about this new thing" and expect to be taken seriously.

It's not dissimilar for security and code quality, they are just part of doing the job properly. They're also part of continually identifiying future business risk. If you find a vulnerability you can absolutely identify the risk of leaving it there, just like you can identify the level of risk of not thinking about it up front with a feature.

We absolutely can provide estimates to backup why we should tackle some tech debt, it may not be incredibly accurate but if you're unable to estimate any gain from tackling it, is it really a problem? When you see a security issue you've got legal risk and brand reputation risk. Both of those are very tangible, while they're not easy to estimate and there's a lot of room for error I don't know many businesses that would rather take the risk of EU data breach fines vs paying an engineer to spend a few days fixing it.

That doesn't lead to feature factories, it leads to informed decisions. Sometimes the business is going to choose to take on the risk of slower development in an area if they think they're unlikely to revisit it vs doing a refactor. Sometimes they may also take on a risk of security issues if they feel it's outside of their threat model. It's up to us as product/engineering teams to give a clear picture and side our professional advice in a way they can understand. In many cases we may need to push to do a refactor or learn a new technology, but we can't expect to persuade someone while we're speaking a different language to them. Saying that they're only interested in business value and that makes them a "feature factory" doesn't make sense in that regard.

Perhaps the business and leadership really enjoy the taste of risk, and if that's the case then trying to qualify value in some other language still won't help. There we have a larger problem with the practices of the leadership and company as a whole.

I agree that the areas you've mentioned are ones where it's hard to qualify value in terms the business understands, but it doesn't mean the system is broken. It's the language used to describe the goals of the organisation. If you're lucky enough to work in a company which places a goal as team happiness as well then you can also speak in those terms in some cases. However, in the context of the article (Atlassian) I struggle to understand why a team lead would try to abstract away the core business value a team is generating. A team leader should be rushing to quantify it as accurately and clearly as possible to give the team a leg up in the orgs career ladder.

Ha, as a Swiss, from the Bern region, I was thinking whether this strange sounding Ovaltine has anything to do with Ovomaltine and was about to look it up.

I took both his SICP course and compilers course back-to-back, and I highly recommend both of them.

Also, sometimes people need something to get them hooked, and kickstart a habit of working on a project. A compilers book is too heavy there. For that I would recommend what got me started down this rabbit hole, which was Gary Bernhardt’s “Compiler from scratch” screencast (paid, not free, but his half dozen “from scratch” casts are well worth it). In 20 minutes you’ll be taught how to build a regex-based lexer, a recursive descent parser, and do some very basic output generation.

I wrote a series of blog posts about using those techniques to implement an alternative syntax for C: https://gist.github.com/cellularmitosis/d4f8d92886061f1629b1...

If interpreters is your thing, I’ve hacked around with those a bit as well: https://gist.github.com/cellularmitosis/a46efbf32544cde3a1d1... https://gist.github.com/cellularmitosis/d8d4034c82b0ef817913...

I also maintain a list of links to simple CPU designs, simple compilers, and simple interpreters (for study): https://gist.github.com/cellularmitosis/1f55f9679f064bcff029...

Edit: ah I forgot the compiler from scratch link! I also forgot that particular video is free!!! https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/screencasts/catalog/a-com...

Edit: also, a (broken) math interpreter which demonstrates how to use graphviz to visualize the AST https://gist.github.com/cellularmitosis/fa41234f641ce55a7374...

Edit: also, don’t be afraid to skip the lexer and parser and just start working with an AST data structure. Whatever it takes to get started! https://gist.github.com/cellularmitosis/074730ddde770f4ac694...

Oh man, that's a blast from the past. The theme song alone is such a time capsule, you can just tell this is a 90s show.

Strangely enough, couldn't find it but did discover what seems to be an identical show made in the US and a German/French cartoon about a Mummy becoming a nanny for two kids. Mummies were a hot property back in the 90s/early 00s, huh?

I have my same £120 ikea desk + chair I've had since 2011, I have a 5 year old desktop (£1500), three monitors (£400), a 9 year old laptop (£900), my own printer (£50), and multiple network options (£150 of switches). Work provided everything but the printer and desk/chair. Pretty tiny.

If I go to the office (mainly for socialisation, sometimes for large whiteboarding afternoons), I have a fight to see if I can perch on the end of a desk nowhere near anyone I work with on a tiny laptop, massively unproductive.

My office at home is about 80 square foot, and it has a pull down bed in it too for guests. London office prices puts that at £4,000 per month[0]. Manchester is £2700 a month, Liverpool £1300 a month.

The mortgage on my _entire house_ is 20% of the cost of a desk in London, the cost of my house is about £1 per square foot, and that includes the capital repayment.
