I have seen many arguments like this, as if software engineers are automata that take requirements as input and produce software code. However an important part of being in a company is developing a shared team relationship where individuals feel accountable to each other and take some interest in the welfare of their co-workers and company above their own short-term interests.

Since we are humans this necessarily involves some socialization and shared experiences. I don't believe in 100% remote work - maybe we can do remote 3 times a week, and that might work. The idea that workers will replace their social interactions on their own is naive. There is an epidemic of loneliness among many once they are no longer forced to socialize via school or church.

(In terms of productivity, I feel like remote optimizes individual throughput over system throughput, due to degraded avenues of cross-communication.)

I hope that this cheering for remote dies. Many managers read Hacker News and they might actually take it seriously. The less tightly the team is bound via social connections the more likely the job function can simply be outsourced to an external contractor.

Also, speaking purely of my own self-interest, I like where my job is located and don't want to move so I can equalize my standard of living with similarly smart and dedicated developers in eastern Europe, Asia, or even the deep south or rural midwest.

Neither seawater or dirt sound like they address the anode or cathode, which seem to be pretty major challenges when it comes to rechargeable batteries.

BTW, speaking of seawater and dirt forming a battery, I recently needed a way to measure underground corrosion of buried copper pipe, and it went down a great little rabbit hole uncovering documents such as this [0]. It was fun to go put a voltmeter across various ground-coupled conductors in my home to see what, if any, voltages were present, with the earth serving as part of a battery.

Answering (with a human voice!) the correct time zone for the wrong "London" is about the mildest possible bug you'll ever see. I might not even call it a "bug". Let's call it a mild inconvenience of modern life!

The aspect that's ruffling feathers, I believe, is that it's one of those cases where someone might have reasonably assumed something was built one way 'under the hood', and was confronted with an effect which forced them to see that it was not implemented that way at all. The issue isn't the 'bug'. It's the realization that their mental model was wrong.

Specifically, something has a name ("Siri") which might lead one to believe that everything from that manufacturer using that name refers to the same thing. (Isn't that the point of a name?) Clearly, it's not.

Your hypothesis sounds plausible, so I tested it. I have a Mac laptop, which has the same 'Location Services' that iOS has (AFAIK). I asked Mac Siri what time it is in London, and got a response for the one in England (further away from me). So that doesn't explain it, or at least not all of it.
Its called the "Edge" market for one.

And just to extend the "whitebox" market is the largest slice of the x86 market. But even so, I just saw a number the other day that the desktop market is ~12B in revenue for intel. So, its might be small for intel, but that would be a huge segment for many of companies in the arm ecosystem. Think of what would happen if a company like rockchip managed to acquire 20% of that market.

PS: I'm aware of the vendors building ARM NAS's, security appliances, and such, and if you look at their product lines, overwhelmingly they are x86. The arm parts form a small fraction of their designs. Frequently the lowest end products with the highest volume and tightest margins. The higher end products are just boring old pentium/xeon parts with fat margins.

ex:

https://www.synology.com/en-us/products/series/smb
vs
https://www.synology.com/en-us/products/series/home
(and only a portion of those are arm)

PPS: I think a lot of people are really confused about the "desktop" market. The desktop market is an artificial segmentation of a generic technology stack. Intel puts it in a different bucket for business reporting reasons, but the core technology is the same between a random desktop board they make $ on and a random board like those in the synology appliances above. The largest differentiator tends to be whether or not the part supports ECC (and some of the desktop parts come with that feature) and who supports it. So from a technology perspective its the same fundamental thing in a 2U chassis with 16 spinning drives as it is in the tower under a desk. Which is why in the parent article you see a 32 core "Server" being sold as a workstation. It could just as well be sold as a NAS. The problem here, is like those arm NAS's the arm vendors are only shooting for the high volume markets, which naturally happen to also have the lowest margins because they are the most competitive... Or the ones with the highest margins. See the problem? AMD unlike intel doesn't do as much artificial product differentiation (which is why a lot of people like them). Their server class parts are basically the same as the desktop, they differ only in scale. So they make the margins in the areas that are truly low volume/high technology while scooping up volume with thin margins elsewhere.
Gee...if only he had a middleman like you to save him all that money for a %, then he could cut out all those middlemen taking a % you are complaining about.
It can, truly, be business-socially elevating in many companies (even "tech" ones!), to pretend to know less about technology than you do. The weird thing is it's not even like the "the CEO using bad grammar in curt emails is a power move" kind of deal, because it kicks in way down the org chart. Basically if the interview for your position isn't leetcode there's a good chance betraying you know too much about technology will lose you some status.

[EDIT] It just occurred to me that this is because programming is, so far as social pecking order, perceived as blue-collar.
None of these alternative suggestions are. Nor is the blog post suggestion though, they're not running on their own server but a cloud providers. Sooo all of this is really not self hosted
To add to this, I don't think there's any function really that I haven't had to customize/make my own... I mean add a few params, change or transform the output or even convert js to php or python.

I think I can maybe count on 1 hand the times I've literally copied/pasted and left it as is. Usually it's copying some config file for a laravel package or something because there were some changes and I'm combining them on an upgrade or something.
>In my last post I estimated Rogan was making around $64MM/year.

Colour me skeptical.

I have a hard time believing that Joe (who has been in show business a long time), or the business people he surrounds himself with as advisors, would sign a ~$100MM exclusive contact when they're printing $50MM+ a year. That doesn't make sense, does it?

The math is certainly interesting. But it ignores the fact that not everyone is looking to maximize every revenue dollar. Joe Rogan has made an EXTRAORDINARY amount of money. From the outside looking in it seems silly to poo-poo a guy that's made 10s of millions because maybe he could have made 100's of millions.

That's not comparable at all. People make mistakes, they forget; if I asked someone to bring me a coffee and they brought me the beans because they had a brain fart, I might laugh and be OK with it. If they consistently brought me beans and water, I'd think they were being malicious, and if they brought me beans and water, even though they know what a coffee is, and genuinely acted clueless about it, I would be seriously annoyed. If you're going to bring up "maybe they didn't really know what a coffee was": no, that isn't the point.

> As an aside, I never ask anyone to make me coffee unless they are a trained barista, and even they make drinks that aren't what I want on occasion.

Actually, I don't even drink coffee! I fail to see how this is relevant to the discussion at all.

> Now all your expenses are 6% lower, but your money left after expenses is also 6% lower.

If so, arguably the COL is being done incorrectly. It should be adjusting just literally the "costs of living", not total comp.

That said, having lived in a very high COL area and a normal area, my total take was higher in the former, but the risk/variance was also higher--a lot higher. It could easily have bankrupted me.

Thinking in risk/reward terms (or like a market investor), I'd actually prefer the lower variance at this point in my life, even if the mean is also lower.

Yep the macOS + Xcode dependency is quite annoying. If you want a, kind of, in between solution, the true dependency is on the command-line tools[0]. These can be installed independent of Xcode. You could piece together your own build scripts or use something like Buck[1] to build it. If you still want a full-blown IDE, checkout AppCode[2] from JetBrains. It still depends on the aforementioned commandline-tools though.

/usr/local is a prefix and contains local software that follows the FHS (i.e. libs in lib/, docs in doc/ binaries in bin/). Nix explicitly doesn’t do that so it would be inappropriate to install it there.
Ding ding ding, we have a winner! This is exactly the process I landed on this week when I decided to start a blog. There's literally nothing cheaper or more convenient (or resume-appropriate, since I already share my github) than github pages. Generating a static site is almost trivial (I landed on using Hugo, but a bunch of solutions are just as easy).

To take the laziness a step further I use emacs and org-mode and publish with ox-hugo (https://ox-hugo.scripter.co/). Set up an org-capture for the blog template, and I'm only a few keystrokes away from creating and publishing a new post at any time.
Homebrew does this far more often. MacPorts is off in its own world in /opt/local, which is actually mildly inconvenient sometimes because a lot of things won't pick it up when you want them to.
I totally agree. People have it stuck in their heads that container == cgroup, and they don't realize how much cruft e.g. docker layers on top. Anything that requires you to do networking on your CPU absolutely kills performance.
Coronavirus impact: Suicides on the rise amid shelter-in-place order, Bay Area
> Will people go back on lockdown?

It depends. People with the means to do so will weigh the consequences and decide for themselves. Like, I’ll be limiting my physical contact with my parents and aunts/uncles for quite a few more months whichever way this goes, I expect. I’ll probably not be eating at restaurants, though I may partake in dinner parties with very close friends instead. Voluntary social distancing but not as strictly as the lockdown.

Generally, if we can put the right structures in place to give everyone the ability to reduce their exposure at their choice, a lockdown isn’t necessary. Seriously: if you and anyone you care about could live decently without human contact, then we wouldn’t need to force a lockdown on anybody else.

We’ll never get there fully — humans are social animals and many will weigh the value seeing a select group of family/friends regularly greater than the risk of disease. But there’s so much room for decreasing R without lockdown (I.e. in a non-compulsory way) that we haven’t explored yet. Obvious ones include some form of UBI so that people aren’t forced into high-risk jobs. Or subsidies to organizations based on how much they decrease transmission associated with their practices (e.g. curbside pickup for retail, sanitizing warehouse/store surfaces and testing employees regularly, subsidizing safer local transit (biking, scooters — just not busses), etc).

I think one of our larger mistakes in handling this is embracing mandatory lockdown as the be-all end-all solution. It’s not a long-term solution. It risks building serious animosity among the classes of people who feel deprived from opportunity as a result of it, and generally there’s no telling what compliance will look like after 4 months, 6 months, or a reopening followed by another lockdown. We have to find ways of reducing the lockdown while replacing its benefits with other tools that have fewer negative impacts on society.
> You don't go in cold for the SAT.

A lot of people do.

The mere idea that test taking is a skill which can be honed like any other is an upper middle class social marker. In the case of the SAT, striking out wrong answers is FAR faster than generating correct ones unless your are really good. That's a test taking skill.

My parents were both school teachers and even they didn't know all that much about the SAT--they knew what it was and made sure I ran some practice tests. My guidance counseler (normally a totally useless position at most schools), however, was an old dude who was used to the fact that children of steelworkers had no clue how to prep for college.

He pulled my parents (and others) aside in 9th grade (almost 2 YEARS before you take the SAT for real) and said: "Here is the schedule of tests (PSAT, SAT), etc. and the order in which your child needs to take them. Note that the scholarship score is TWO TIMES THE VERBAL plus the math. Here are the sample test resources your child needs. Here is the vocabulary resource your child needs--that defines your scholarship chances. Your child needs to drill math to not make stupid mistakes. Complete these at an even rate for the next couple years and your child will qualify for most scholarships and have no issue getting admitted to any college below Ivy level. If you really want to go to an Ivy, you need the scores, but we'll need to find you an alumnus to advocate for you in order to boost your chances."

That man created a LOT of first and second generation college graduates.
The general idea in the article I think is right but there's some caveats. I don't think his audience will suffer as much as the author thinks. Joe Rogan is pretty unique in the podcasting space, Spotify is already popular and I think people in general tend to overestimate the degree of backlash for these things. (the blizzard boycott comes to mind).

Also we don't really know Rogan's plans. If he plans on keeping this going for another 10-15 years staying independent would make some sense. But if he wants to retire after his Spotify deal runs out this may not be unreasonable.
Maybe Joe doesn't want to work 16 hour days to become a billionaire, maybe he wants a giant check and to keep living a life he's enjoying.

This tunnel vision of this place is incredible. Not everyone wants to be Elon Musk. Some people are happy where they are.

I think part of it is that they just advertised a lot more. When Homebrew came out, I seem to recall them advertising MacPorts as basically being old and busted. (Not literally those words, probably, but that was the general gist.)

Unity editor is more stable. Unity editor is more performant.

UE4 is easier to work with in the long run. I find that Unity is just missing stuff, or has half-baked solutions that change. UE4 already has this stuff included as core product.

Unity is more approachable, has better docs, but slowly falls apart. UE4 is less approachable, has worse docs, but becomes better to work with over time.

But, it all depends on your use case, and what you need out of which tool. I have worked in Unity 4/5, UE4, Source, and Source 2 as of recently with the HL:Alyx tools.

Unrelated side not: Source 2 tools are pretty slick! But they don't have general licensing yet... if they announce that, my next project might be in Source 2 instead of UE4. Something about that Quake/HL legacy code that is always more comfortable than Unreal.
Just so that everything is 100% clear, most of our code base is still Apache 2 licensed (and we have no plans to change that).

All that this blog post is (trying) to say is that multi-node will not be under a paid license, but instead will be free under the Timescale License.

Hope this helps.

Erm... Joe knows what he is making without Spotify and it isn’t enough to make the deal seem as obviously-bad as the article makes it out to be. Also, I doubt Joe negotiated a $100 million deal without expensive legal & financial advice. If anything, the deal’s closure is evidence that the article’s assumptions are wrong.
Agree. That's probably also one reason why more and more people want to use cross-platform app frameworks instead of developing for iOS natively. That way, you can do most of the dev work on Windows and Android, and you'll only need to use Mac & XCode for compiling the iOS binary.

And I'd wager that some iOS games are released without the developer ever touching XCode: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/UnityCloudBuildiOS.html

Someone shared with me an article [0] that some company is doing some of their meetings in Red Dead Redemption 2, around a campfire. While I don't believe it to be more than hype right now, it fired up my imagination. I think it has a nice ring to it, staying under the starry night, putting some meat on the fire, talking to the people in my team.

Then I got to thinking 5 - 10 years in the future when maybe VR Tech is going to be cheaper and more ergonomic, with Unreal 5 [1] coming up and who knows what the engines a decade from now will look like, how awesome would it be to work from home and have the daily meeting in some amazing virtual space.

No point to my post really, only that work conditions are hopefully going to be more playful in the future.

You seriously chose THAT as your hill to die on? lmao. You absolutely understand the point. High COL is better. Easier to max your 401k, easier to pay healthcare minimums, easier to save money in general since the only great cost is your rent. Besides that, perishable foods, electronics, damn near everything else will be a similar price. I moved from NC to SF and don't regret it. Entry level TC in NC is $70k, here it's $150k+. The max salary for a Senior IC is NC is about $120k, here it's fucking $500k. You people aren't thinking critically at all. The best bet is to suck it up and work in a high COL city, save up, and then go buy a mansion wherever you want outside of SF/NYC.
Including hosting? I'm sure it's actually in red.
