There are several ways of saying the same thing, and different things resonate with different people. The one I like is this.

Go out as far as you like. Somewhere out there ahead of you there are two primes p and q who differ by no more than 600. So there's a prime p with another prime q less than p+600.

And now if you start from there and go still further, then you can do it again.

No matter how far you will still find primes p and q with p<q<p+600.

So there are infinitely many such pairs, because you can always find another one.
I moved from a $3000 1BR in downtown to an $1100 private room (4br 2ba 3 roomates) in the outter Richmond in SF. There is no reason to live in downtown SF right now with everyone working from home.

Many facebook groups are advertising significant rental decreases particularly for roomate-situations. They're calling it a "COVID discount" but I suspect its going to stick around for awhile.
I can't find a single point of disagreement with you. :)

The problem with these HN discussions is that they attract the good apples from both sides while the bad apples won't ever read and correct their practices by participating in these threads. We kind of put ourselves in a rather positive filter bubble here and that can skew our reality a bit.

I wish I've met more interviewers like you during my nightmarish 4 months of job hunting that just finished 1-2 weeks ago.
A world where most people don't do productive labor is going to require multiple radical changes. We'll have to handle that eventually, but right this second we just don't have the social bandwidth to enact any more radical changes.
I think the motorcycle is a decent idea, because it at least reduces emissions. However, there are issues of safety and weather. If a bike (possibly electric) works, that's probably the best commute vehicle.
Just build locally and vendor the asset artefacts. That's how we did it in the "good old days". No containers in containers needed.
The digit may sound stunning, and shocking, but it's not really that bad with a demographic profile of USA. USA is a relatively youthful nation.

How is this mitigated in usb-c? As in how do they prevent the inside of usb-c from wearing out?

In the case of the F-150, it seems Ford has the numbers to back up that a lot of people would otherwise literally lug generators around with them. For the construction market, I absolutely suspect this feature will be well-used.

I'd like it in an SUV, and I'm willing to bet if offered, folks would jump on it, but I agree it's a lot less likely it'd be heavily used.

Re: Adding another battery, I've considered (and done some napkin math) adding solar panels and a second battery to my car to power the computer I run onboard. But it's something I don't have the time or money to play with right now.
I hope many of the cities that have seen rapid growth in the last decade get a similar reprieve from the strain of growth. As an example, Seattle has changed in ways that have reduced quality of life - worsening travel times, neighborhoods that look/feel completely different, visible blight everywhere, over-subscribed/crowded city amenities, etc. The culture of the city has also been overwhelmed by transplants, and with it, the old PNW spirit has effectively been smothered. The politics of the city is also completely different from what it was 15 years ago. I'd welcome an exodus here, even if it means reduced a reversal of economic growth/houses prices/etc.

At the same time, I think these changes will be healthy for those who do move out. Some are moving back in with families, and the cultural continuity of multi-generational homes is an important part of human society historically. I also hope it encourages people to discover cheaper towns in the country that have been ignored and left out of the last couple decades' economic gains. Many of those places have a lot to offer, and I bet those who give them a try will be surprised how much they like it. The economies of those areas will also benefit from the boost.

It's probably because they can move closer to Palo Alto, San Jose and other places now.
Why not just host on a VPS? Like DigitalOcean, Linode, AWS, Azure? Also there are a TON more considerations for various "stacks" one could choose, you only focus on Java stacks, what about Python, Ruby, .NET, etc.
Unlikely, even if you shut the device down when you attach a charger it goes into either a semi-on state or just turns on entirely. Even if you shut it down while it’s plugged in.
But, but, but... How will I get my badge of the day ? All those shiny konpanions I collected for years ?

Kongregate is still in my morning ritual, and some new games are still a lot of fun and enjoyable.

I guess they want to concentrate themselves on their new kartridge product (not working on Linux...).

But I find this announcement surprising (closing chat) as they just added a new (and, well, not very useful) feature to it.

Strange. But I hope they’ll have great time in their new adventures.
This is a splendid example of the kind of thing I let mentees discover on their own, when it actually starts to matter in what they're doing, rather than burden them with right up front. If binding is an uncommonly encountered concept, interning is a practically unheard-of one, and it would be a severe disservice to explain it, and copy-on-write, at the same time as everything else I'm asking someone new to the language, and often new to programming entirely, to follow.

You're right that the description I gave is fundamentally a false one. But it is a harmless, and an extremely useful, lie.

(In any case, you're underplaying your hand here. If you're going to get deep into the weeds on how Javascript values really work, why leave out implicit autoboxing?)
Exactly. I can't understand why people don't just say the thing it is, especially a thing that's already bad. Wording it like this feels very dishonest / clickbaity.
Thanks! I didn't realize they were such distinct personalities.
Yow, $1100 to have 3 roommates? That sounds painful.

Regarding your first point, it’s true that the part that wears out in Lightning is in the port, but on the flip side, the port of the USB-C is much more fragile (the internal “tongue” or whatever you want to call it is prone to breakage). There might be some hard data available on breakage rates, but anecdotally I’d say it’s really a wash in terms of durability.

However, where USB-C is really indisputably better than Lightning is that it has 3x the amount of pins (24 in USB-C vs 8 in Lightning), which will always mean that USB-C will be able to outperform Lightning significantly.
It has been said that San Francisco is a retirement community for twenty-somethings. Without Zeitgeist and Boogaloos, what's the point really?
Pippo – Micro Java Web Framework
To be clear, you don't do "containers in containers", you build a container and you copy your assets from the other one. You then have a shippable artifact with all your dependencies, including your runtime, vendored into it.

I'm not a k8s guy, but it's a lot nicer than a tarball.
Here's a calculation to consider. Would it be more expensive to subsidize the income of a $15/hr worker for a year, or treat them for a COVID infection? I've heard treating COVID patients can cost up to $40K in resources.
FWIW 106mb will fit ~11 million chars.

I use many of the features I get with rails webpack. I also use create-react-apps (which I think is even bigger). I think they are valuable to the development process.

I would think we can achieve most if not all of these goals with less code. I don't know exactly how we would get there or if there are any projects underway. This seems like a problem that can't be fixed in one place but must be addressed holistically. This being a decentralized ecosystem of packages, the only way I can see that happening is by publishing stats and creating a culture of reduction. For example: When contributing to the one of the presumably hundreds if not thousands of packages that roll up into CRA or rails, you should see if that overall increases or decreases size. You may have introduced a huge tree of new dependencies thinking your adding one package to your tiny package.

Just a rough idea, does someone more experienced in the community have ideas on what can be or is being done?

In one sense, the anti-crypto forces are not yet being as crazy as they have been at certain times in the past. People often forget that the federal government wanted to put Phil Zimmerman in prison over PGP in the nineties. [1]

In another sense, this is much crazier. There wasn't much at stake commercially in the nineties, but today, legislatively screwing up crypto could compromise trillions of dollars worth of commercial transactions if something goes wrong.

They're wrong. The new rent control law (effective Jan 1, 2020) specifically excludes temporary discounts from the base rate calculation. See section 1947.12:

Apparently, road damage is approximately proportional to single axle load to the fourth power. So, a SUV causes approximately 16 times the damage of a compact car with half the mass. And, yes, freight vehicles can cause thousands times more.
I haven't made my mind on this yet tbh. I tend to not agree with the argument that workers are bringing the same value to the company no matter their location. What about doctors that live outside major cities. Should they be compensated the same as the doctors in the centre of NY? I think that's a utopian state where it just can't co-exist with the current way of how markets work.

On the other hand, I totally agree with Sid (from GitLab)[1]:

> "If we pay everyone the San Francisco wage for their respective roles, our compensation costs would increase greatly, and we would be forced to hire a lot fewer people. Then we wouldn’t be able to produce as much as we would like," Sid explains. "And if we started paying everyone the lowest rate possible, we would not be able to retain the people we want to keep.

> "So you end up in a place where the compensation is somewhere in between. And that would cause us to have a concentration of team members in low-wage regions because it’s a better deal for them. They’re getting more than the market rate, so they’re more likely to apply and accept an offer. And they’re more likely to stay regardless of how happy they are, which is not healthy for them or the company."

That makes sense! Both company and the employees are equally happy. I don't find anything wrong with that.

I think choosing an "above the local rate" rate to pay your employees is the way to go. Rate them based on the criteria you think it's best and put that in perspective against their local rate and the rate ofc that they want. They are going to be some that live in Greece and want to be compensated with SF rates. That's fine and they are probably able to do it. But that shouldn't affect your own strategy.

My parents fed a family of four on $7/hr. Healthcare is overrated. Indentured servitude is relative.

Wow, this should at least provide for some very interesting natural sociological experiments. For context, I make less than this as a software developer in Chile, and still have no problems saving and living a comfortable lifestyle. This is going to significantly impact the lives of folks working in these factories, and it will be interesting to see how it will affect the individuals, their communities, and the quality and competitiveness of the factories.
I will bail from the purchasing process on sites that are unwilling to give me a final price before I enter payment information.

A postal code should suffice, and I'm not providing more personal information if the site is unwilling to say what I'll be charged upfront.
Hi. Head to https://iko.ai and shoot an email to the contact address. We'll set you up with a temporary free account with all the bells and whistles (notebook with GPU and pretty much all the deep learning libraries pre-installed including fast.ai related, object storage, automatic tracking for your training, Docker image creation for your models, and controlling both the training and model invocation with HTTP requests, etc).

You can go through the fast.ai courses as you've been coding for a long time. Just clone the repository in the GPU notebook and get started.

You can learn without the hassle of GPU/libs/config nightmare while you figure out if you like this stuff or not.

It's an internal platform for now. So please use my name or a link to this thread.
Ok, we'll make the title go from 61 to 51 above.

No, I'm saying that you've presented a false dichotomy, that we should be solving the COVID problem, and that if you think the solution needs to be amended or extended in ways that mitigate associated poverty-based mortality, you should present those amendments instead of treating the issue as a reason to do nothing.

The friction pressure that keeps the cable in place is provided by the cable head, while the bit inside the computer is just a solid block with nothing that flexes. Rough handling can still damage the latter, but otherwise its expected lifespan is long enough to put in the 'don't bother worrying about it' column.
What made SF interesting was pushed out long ago. What's left is an insular monoculture not unlike Cavendish bananas. Unless you've got deep roots there, seriously consider the alternative.
Not really. They can only absorb so much CO2, however much they might be steeped in.
The USB-C bit is more like a PCB with a shell around it. There's only a small amount of moving metal in the shell, reducing the amount of possible fatigue in the expensive part of the equation.

USB-C is sort of like "inverted lightning". The inside bit on the host looks very much like a lightning cable does.

Has this been a problem in practice? We should have enough data now (over 7 years since release) to know whether this is the case.
Sure, they are not micromanaging the Chrome APIs or the Android APIs. But the strategic direction is clear: "develop more web APIs and make them useful, so more people stay on the web so we can show more ads."
> And you know this from a job post in a job board/website how?

I don't need to know it from a job board or website because I don't apply to companies that I'm not already familiar with. When I apply to those listings, I already know how I will answer this question, because that's why I'm applying to the company.

> Has anyone been 6, day dreaming in school, 'when I grow up, I want to help people create digital experiences their customers love.'?

No but that's a strawman and I'd be surprised if you don't recognise that.

> My interest in the role is it matches my experience

I doubt that's the only reason. You could have experience doing a billion things but you probably enjoy what you do a lot more than that, and when we break it down, there are almost certainly subsections within what you do now that you enjoy and hope that the company aligns with that. When a listing asks "why are you interested in working here", you hopefully already know and can express that.

There are a large number of ways from location, culture, processes, technical decisions, people, problem domain, etc that you can discover about a company before applying.
Before COVID, I regularly paid double that just in California.
Maybe, but I think there is already a glut of bootcamp-style developers who represent the majority of career-changing opportunities doing front-end development or mobile development after a 3-12 month training. I don't there there are as many entry-level tech opportunities in the bay area as people think their is. The roles that are really hungry seem to always be senior or cross-discipline devops that requires many years across many types of domains.

Based on their numbers and some quick math, maybe there are ~21 million who are now unemployed versus the recent peak in January.
