For the last 3.5 years I've worked 100% remotely- an answer which I'm surprised isn't showing up more is: wherever my parents are. I got to spend my mid to late twenties seeing them daily and I'm fortunate for it every day. My girlfriend and I have an apartment on the other side of town and we were happy with the decision. The only way it could've been more ideal is if we could've gone back to our home country, but both of us are starting med school, hopefully, one day.
Aight thanks for the reply will keep this in mind
Where did Facebook say that "cost of living" will impact salaries? At Google (where I work) salaries vary a lot based on location but cost of living is not part of the equation. It's based on the cost of hiring in the market.

I'm personally in the middle of an SF to London transfer. I'm taking a 25% pay cut. That is not because it's cheap to live in London (it's not) but rather because it's very very cheap to hire developers there.

I imagine Facebook will do something similar.
And similarly, in ZFS it'd be

% zpool replace <pool> <bad-drive> <new-drive>

And you can also set up hot spares in both systems so that replacing the drive happens automatically.

One thing I would suggest is that you use /dev/disk/by-id when configuring mdadm or ZFS. Device renumbering over reboots under Linux isn't an issue for either system (they look at the metadata on disk rather than the drive name in /dev), but as an admin it helps to be able to type out the actual serial number on the drive when you're doing reboots (especially if you have the serial numbers written on the hotswap bays).
Piggybacking. This should be no surprise. When your job becomes remote, you now compete with people willing to earn half or less because they choose not to live where you do. Basic econ. Don’t be entitled, it’s no surprise most of the country hates tech workers.
I don’t follow. Companies wouldn’t pay the high salaries if it didn’t provide greater value to the company. They’re not charities.
I have a reading list you might enjoy!

Company should pay me X money for Y hours of work. Company should never care where and how I live. If I move somewhere cheaper (and can still do the same job as before), is my work worth less?
Just pray travel expenses never pop up I guess?
Thank you so much for this. Was looking for something similar, found only solutions that were dependent on extensions I didn't want to install due to privacy/security reasons.
> hyper-successful people

Childhood trauma has been a better measurement for understanding people who claim or chase ‘huge success‘ in my experience - and this includes myself. From what I see, the image of ‘success’ that is expected or hoped for by many today has little to do with joy and pleasure, and more to do dominating others. From what I’ve experienced I’ve seen that if one has unresolved childhood trauma‘s and PTSD, one is more likely to act out of revenge, or to enjoy violence (Marshall Rosenberg writes about this: he believes that when our needs are unmet - we can sometimes start to ‘enjoy‘ violence more).

I’ve now been facing my childhood trauma and addressing it, as well as growing a more compassionate self, and reflecting on this is interesting, because a part of me of course still yearns for an extravagant hero journey, yet I’m not finding myself wishing or hoping for this big idea of success, I think because my relationships have become a lot better and a lot easier, and my experience of life lighter and more playful. Also I have individuen and I am more authentic now. Less perfectionistic and more forgiving. It’s a relief.

I think I no longer aim for the same type of success as before.
Caffeine is well established to interrupt sleep. Interrupt doesn't necessarily mean a person wakes up either. It can mean 9 hours of less restful sleep than without caffeine. Over the long term, the less restful sleep can lead to other problems.
In an ideal world, I would live in New Zealand, probably, though I've heard many things have changed in the 15 years since I lived there.

I work remote and live in Los Angeles, despite all the drawbacks of living in California, because of family, friends, and my overall support network. Moving somewhere else would mean having to start all over again.
Chico, Roseville, Granite Bay, similar types of places in socal 2 or 3 hours from the big cities.
it's extremely common (I did some consulting and offices had salary multipliers based on high/mid/low-cost locations). I've been quite surprised at the reaction from HN on the topic
If you ask politely most chefs would just tell you the approximate costs. That information is well known, only minor details of rent might be off a bit.
It doesn't. The employer is responsible for paying taxes on behalf of the employee, i.e. income and payroll taxes.

This is the case in most of the modern world...
Maybe I could have been more specific. I'm not talking about getting rid of all geographic taxes, but just thinking about which ones still make sense in a more remote work environment, especially as it relates to income tax but also maybe sales tax when people buy things over the internet.

That being said, you've helped me think that different types of taxes are just stories we make up to get payment from a group of people to provide that same group with services.

Maybe it doesn't matter if one actually earns that money in that location, but they are living there and earning money in general and if they want to continue to live there, they need to pay X% of their money for the services.
If they make more working for Facebook in Detroit than for a a Detroit-local tech company, and they will, it's hard to say who's harmed here.

Of course there's gray area here but I think it will be fine. They won't be the first company with localized salaries.
My church had 10 Masses each weekend, all times of the day, until 8pm at night, back before Covid. I previously went to a church that had a 9pm Sunday Mass.

But yes, going just to meet people is the wrong attitude, but better than not going.
It’s a skill you can train just like any other.

The cost of clearing cache on context switch has to be put in context (hey, pun intended:)

100ms is a huge amount of time and 48kB is a tiny, tiny part of what processor does during 100ms. Gigabytes of data can be transferred during that time, 48kB isn't really much.

As I have pointed out, that cache has very little value over context switch anyway. The cost is removing data from cache that would be usable after we have returned to the original context. But it is already very likely the data in the cache is already for a completely different context and hence completely unusable.

Say you have apps A and B and OS.

You are running A which has 48kB of data in L1d. It switches to OS which causes some of L1d to be evicted and puts its own data there. Then it switches to B which is likely another process, this causes very likely entire L1d to be evicted unless this is extremely small process. Then we come to OS and again to A. By the time you are at A, there is no data from the original L1d state.

Cleaning L1d upfront on context switch is likely not hurting anything.
Yup that's right. Although I would add front-end search and visualization (with d3) to the features.

As you mentioned there are a lot of good solutions for review, notification, and reg. Common choices are OpenReview/CMT/HotCRP/EasyChair/softconf... They're all pretty mature and complex.

The thing that people suddenly need is ways to easily customize their own pages for hosting virtual conferences and workshops. That's the problem miniconf targets.
Oh, I don't disagree at all that getting people together in a room can be very useful. I'm just saying that, for me, those people are usually not all located in a single office so we're going to have to travel to some common location to get together in a room. A fairly small percentage of the people I work with regularly are within a hundred miles of each other.
Thanks Ken, it's a great simulator. Is there any way others could write code for this simulator and play around with it as opposed to just running the original code?

When I got to visit SF, it was a lovely, magical city and it inspired me to buy $300 worth of books related to my interest in someday becoming a city planner (or something similar).

The problem is I can't possibly afford to live there. If you can live there, cool. For many people, it's just too expensive to make it into a nice experience.

All those restaurants nearby are only cool if you can afford the high cost of housing and have enough money leftover to still eat at restaurants without worrying that you are cutting your own throat in terms of retirement savings or something.

In short, it's great if you are wealthy enough. It's not for most other people, even if they find parts of it enchanting.
To answer your thought experiment: salaries aren't dictated by justifications or fairness.

Silicon Valley firms don't pay high salaries because employees have to pay a high cost of living, they pay the high salaries because if they don't, some other company will pay it and the employee will leave.

They pay the salary that they need to get people to come work. The cost of living is an OUTCOME of this calculation, not the input. The CoL is lower in Morgan Hill because people living there have to commute further to get to their jobs, so fewer people want to live there. You can figure out the price people put on commute distance by comparing housing prices based on distance from work sites.

The really interesting thing will be to see how CoLs in the country change when commute distance is no longer a factor in home prices.
That's what happens with social things. There are competitive softball leagues and there are "beer leagues". Not everyone has the same amount of time and commitment to spare.

It can be helpful if expectations are out there (and people are a little flexible).

Do they? I saw Ryzen 3xxxU which are okay but not outstanding. It's the Ryzen 4xxxU which wipes the floor with everyone else: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/power_performance.html the Ryzen 7 4800U has seventy percent advantage in performance per watt over the best Intel. The top four CPUs in this list are all Ryzen 4xxxU. (Also, if we wanted to list CPUs for similar targets and just list the 15W ones, this list would look super sad for Intel.)

Ask HN: How do I find legit, quality products on Amazon?
My household avidly uses Amazon.com, but we're finding it harder and harder to find goods that are genuinely good, rather than scam-popular.

We've tried Fakespot and Review Meta: the former frequently detects an outsized proportion of fake reviews, while the latter will be in opposition (bias promoting affiliate link purchases?). It's getting discouraging when on a quest to buy light bulbs, every vendor is approaching a score of 60% review reliability.

Very often, the Amazon Top Pick has the worst reputation on review analysis sites.

Frequently, to short-circuit paralysis by analysis, we just buy the least worst item. Or a meaningless name brand at thrice the price (I'm looking at you, Philips) with equally dismal results. We're finding that garden variety consumer electronics are a landmine of knockoffs with poor quality and short lifespans. Just looking for a decent outdoor timer ended up an epic rabbit hole (and we're on a third try).

Is it really that bad? What has your experience looked like, and have you found tools to help? Thanks.
One way I've heard the company thinking explained is replacement cost. When a valuable employee gets a better offer a company suddenly may be willing to pay more for the same person, regardless of location. Now if they can replace that person without spending more then they will.

There is no loyalty.
This looks overly opinionated: I can’t have co-op but I could have accounting?

I’d rather see a list with justifications.

Purely anecdotal, but for me it was the other way around. Last January, for my New Years Resolution, I kicked my pack-a-day-equivalent e-cigarette addiction. Three to four days of feeling anxious, some weird eating habits, a few headaches, but I still felt fairly productive. In February, I tried to quit coffee. Nonstop headaches for the week, complete inability to keep to a sleep cycle, and the worst irritability I've ever had. (I was at ~3 cups/day prior to quitting) Everyone is different - and some people do have quite terrible caffeine addictions.
I'm actually not rural by the US Census definition. And probably not especially close even though I and a couple neighbors are on 100 acres between us. I live in a 7K person town and it's not even remotely rural by US Census definitions.

This should already have been part of Google itself. Some sites come up high far too frequently for certain searches of mine, and it's never the best info.

Don't remember. This was 30 or 35 years ago.

There was a long tradition in English and maybe also in other European languages of choosing punctuation depending on how long a pause a speaker would take at the point, with a comma denoting a shorter pause than a semicolon, which in turn denoted a shorter pause than a colon, which in turn denoted a shorter pause than a period -- instead of using punctuation to convey some semantic distinction as most writers do today. The comma splice might be a vestige of that tradition.

Thanks. I'd sure take those into account in the next iteration. It was my weekend project :)
I wonder how that salary adjustment will actually play out. If they drop salaries to location average, they'll still have to compete with other companies (and not just local, many other remote jobs too).

You could work for Initech in your locale, or FANG remotely, and the salary would be the same. Would Initech have to raise their pay, or would the FANG jobs suddenly be too demanding for what they pay?
Really depends on what phase of life, but right now one of:

It's reasons like this why I think the post-COVID death of the high-COL city is greatly exaggerated.

Because we live in a federal system, the definition of what is "locally" taxable and what is not varies betweens states, and at a global level this varies between countries (the US taxes global income, which is uncommon), and obviously these entities are not inclined to do things that would reduce their funding. Even if they could reduce some taxes and raise others to make up for it and the end result made "more sense", how to raise others is a big fight in and of itself, and so they usually don't go through the bother of debating all of this.

These types of debates have already happened to some degree; a lot of New Jersey residents work in New York, and the way the dust has currently settled is that New Jersey will credit income tax paid in NY by NJ residents. Not everyone is happy with this arrangement, and whether or not it is working optimally could be debated until the heat death of the universe, but it is a valid allocation of resources that is working at some minimal level. This will probably blow up now that remote work enables a nearly endless combination of jurisdictional fights.

This always reminds me that there is a difference between public health policy and individualised care.

Generally speaking, you're probably correct, and yet for some individuals some of the time some amount of alcohol, caffeine, psilocybin, mdma, etc etc etc, may have a beneficial effect for some period of time.
Does anyone offer face-to-face service over video chat? That's what I'd like to see.
Right, but they know they don't have to pay that remote worker as much to keep them, because that remote worker doesn't have as many options with where to work... or at least, that was the case before EVERYONE became remote workers.

Companies always pay as little as they need to in order to retain the talent pool they feel is required to do the job they want. They aren't going to pay someone more than they HAVE to out of fairness.

If all companies are remote and competing for workers everywhere in the world, you will see geographic salary discrepancies disappear... slowly.
I find languages like MUMPS unreadable, but I also know a few folks that love it and truly confused why I don't. I programmed a lot of production code with Perl, and that confuses the heck out of a lot of programmers. I loved Postscript and Forth, but I keep running into people that think they are complicated and hard to follow when the rules are so simple. People are hateful of selector-syntax in Smalltalk and Objective-C, but I think its the most easily understandable syntax out there because the what the variables are for is right there instead of just a comma separated list of variables with no hints. I truly wonder if the C family of languages gets so ingrained that anything else is just seen as crappy?

Lisp benefits greatly from a decent text editor, but it is quite readable.
Your theory is easily proven wrong. Go to any tech office in high tech China. Notice how barriers have not been eroded, all the managers AND employees are Chinese, and some of the managers are required to be part of the Chinese Communist party. Where is the melting pot of liberalism in high tech China, or India, or Japan, etc, etc.

I too used to program in C++. Every Monday morning, it was the same routine: as I enter the office, the stench of decaying bodies is overwhelming. Yet I must gather my strength to collect and identify the people killed over the week-end by C++ memory safety issues gone unchecked. Once that's done, I start my daily Scrum standup at 11 and I start coding a bit. First build at 11.30, first segfault at 11.35. Then it's pretty much the same routine, after lunch I read the Valgrind and ASan reports, spotting which one of the hundreds of new safety issues it identified might be an easy fix. I go back home riding my bicycle around 7pm, making sure to avoid the cars trying to crash against me due to segfaults. Sometimes I cry at night thinking about all that.

And then one day I found Rust, and all those problems went away. I can now write fearless code, and I don't have to endure the stench of rotting bodies anymore.

True story.
High crime? I live in suburb 2 blocks from a forested area with trails in a nice area and I'm paying $700 a month in the SF/Bay Area.

The crime in the area I'm in is lower than most of the bay area because the area gets overlooked.

The downside is there are less high end food options, but still some pretty good options. Oh, and the allergies. I get allergies. Too much nature. But it's nice.
It's not actually based on CoL... it is based on comparable salaries in the area (which of course is highly correlated with cost of living). The distinction is important, though; they pay the salary that gets a worker to stay and not go to another company that will hire them.
