But everybody has far from exactly the same parts of the brain performing the same duties for the same things all the time.

And data output is not the same as data entry.

Seems to me there are big differences in what parts of the brain are engaged manually versus mechanically in other ways too, and that should lead to even bigger differences between individuals.

Due to differences in brain wiring and structure, some parts of the brain may be much more efficient than others at the same process, and this is also different between individuals.

Some tasks are likely to require more overhead to result in an equivalent outcome as well.

Manual placemarking, art, language, documentation, machine operation, with direct memory access are all different things, and also are expected to interact in different ways for different people of different cultures.

What if the documentation, machine operation, and direct memory access combine to form the working foundation earlier in the learning cycle than other possible elements with or without very much freehand work at all?
I had become annoyed by the Python bigots who will tell us about how easy to read their language is because its notation is clean, how all its functionality is "intuitive", how any combination of Python-based Rube-Goldberg Machine systems is the best.

Don't think it's about something being "hard", just "unknown" when you first come from Ubuntu et al into Arch, so you have to spend some time learning things.

> The current administration tried using executive action and regulatory approaches to fulfil their agenda and both keep getting struck down in courts. The new upward revision in wage levels are also expected to have the same fate. There is simply very little regulatory leeway on H1B visas since they are encoded in law.

That’s not accurate. The original law in the 1960s was designed to be very different, and one of the basic bargains was that it wouldn’t increase net immigration. That ended up being false because Presidents ended up using executive action and regulations to depart from the original design. For example, Clinton narrowing the public charge exclusion to refer to only cash welfare. Indeed, the H1-B system was never intended to be a vehicle for permanent immigration. That was created by administrative fiat too. Trump’s administrative changes were to make the system more consistent with what the law actually says.

That is a strange sentiment, sorry. PG is not some omnipotent being that can "ensure" anything for the companies he originally helped launch.

The best he can do is advocate, leveraging a lot of respect he still commands in the startup community. And this is what he is doing there. My 2c.

There are plenty of really bad examples in your link.

Do you think its okay to hunt down a species like a blue whale from 400k to 10-30k and say 'yeah thats okay'?

There are plenty of other examples.

And do you assume they grow back because of no intervention or continuous intervention? I would say its about continues intervention.

Continues -> reminding people how shitty it is and that we can't accept the current state which you would say is 'pretty OK'.

And don't get me wrong: Why would you even try to counter argue about something like whale rescue? Do you have the feeling that we as a society are spending too much money on rescuing and saving species versus i don't know cars?

Lets give them more money, lets create jobs which are actually here to help our planet and lets do something useful once instead of writing just another backend.
Have you noticed an actual improvement? I couldn't pinpoint what was the bottleneck in the last Rust program compilation step at all. I have two machines with extremely fast NVMe SSDs and an incremental compilation improvement from i7-8565U (laptop, 24s) to Xeon W-2150B (iMac Pro, 12s) was extremely disappointing.

I'm pondering a Threadripper workstation but I'm very worried if I'll gain any actual incremental compilation speed at all.

Do you have any observations?

There is no general case. The idea of the general case is fundamentally a tool of oppression. Human moral encounters and decisions are personal.
Three IRs can actually help; it's not that simple. For example, https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/2019/12/02/const-prop... is an example of performing an optimization on an earlier IR, which gives you a 2%-10% speed boost.

> Even though LLVM has its own constant propagation pass, we see improvements because our pass operates on MIR while it is still generic. The more concrete instances of a generic function that are instantiated, the larger the payoff from this optimization.

It can be counter-intuitive, but it just really depends on the details. Of course, a single pass compiler will be faster to compile than a more complicated one, but it's not as straightforward as "more IRs == slower."
Until it's cold, raining and you're going 65 on the freeway.

I don't know any program of study that would get sufficiently deep enough to get to semi-conductor quantum tunneling (year 2/3 class) without having some foundational E&M to motivate the QM to begin with (pure math here being a more exceptional but rare case). I think the beauty of QM at that point is that it looks and feels a lot like differential field work of EM and Lagrangian mechanics but maps to quantized numerical spaces, where jumps and little shoots like that happen all the time (spontaneous crystal domain alignment in magnets for example). If you were able to get sufficiently skilled in intro QM, it would absolutely help study in E&M.

If you E&M questions are just node solving, linear algebra and difeq is all you need for E&M to solve "most" work. You do a lot of specialized versions of that in QM and as mentioned above the people doing the actual semiconductor design are so highly specialized that they are often not transferable to other problem domains and require fundamentally different approaches. Not sure any non-PHD study will really help one advance the field in a meaningful way. Study of QM i would say sufficiently enriches all physics verticals that if you are capable, it's worthy of individual pursuit, but also makes total sense to study as part of a curriculum taking place after intro E&M.

"Depends on what problems you are solving I suppose. " - well, yes. Hence my question about what you're defining as the general case; that 10-20% seems rather high for cases you'd need mutability.

I think it's a bit of a red herring to ask "can you solve them quickly enough" - after all, if pure speed across all use cases is your concern, why would you advocate a garbage collected language?

San Francisco sales tax revenue is down ~43% from a year ago
That 45% includes folks paying them off every month, folks buying new cheaper models, folks being given other people's old phones, and folks buying used/refurbished phones. It doesn't mean they aren't a luxury good: The newest, latest iPhones are still some of the more expensive on the market, and a lot of onlookers can't tell one from the other.
This is a good summary of one of my biggest issues with location adjusted salaries. It often seems to be adjusted as if you will be living in that location (and retiring) in that location, which is rarely the case. Yes, in your example both engineers _may_ end up being equally-prepared for retirement, and be in a similar financial situation presuming that 1, all life costs scale proportionally (which is not true, college tuition for children is a great example, regular vacations are another), and 2, they will live in that location always. This is rarely the case, and just leaves the Bay area engineer _miles_ ahead when they relocate 10 years down the line.

That logic is perfectly sound. When something becomes ubiquitous it certainly does become the obvious thing to everybody. That's why in modern times it's more obvious for people to toast bread in a toaster and not in a frying pan like they might have done in the past.

Aside from that - explicitly having both Backspace and Delete is also obviously better than having only one of them and hiding the other beneath a multi-key shortcut.

You mistook pointing out a flaw for complaining though. I'm not complaining since I'm not stuck on a Mac. I keep one around for doing iOS things and for helping Mac users figure out how to do things.

Personally, I prefer to use a Linux desktop system that draws deeply from the Windows UI and currently that is Manjaro with XFCE. With that I get the best parts of Windows, I can customize it to do just about anything I want and it's even more stable than Mac or Windows.

This seems a good place to bring up an odd experience of mine. I've had carpal tunnel for decades but no longer get many flare ups. After trying numerous keyboards, the solution turned out to be using Apple's Magic Keyboard and whatever their huge trackpad is called. The key for me seems to be low key travel, a smallish keyboard (to avoid any stretching), and avoiding mice (the only flare ups I get anymore are from prolonged use of the family PC). This seems to run counter to most experiences, though!

> There aren't enough good abstractions
I like some of your points, and H1B desperately needs a revamp. However, a direct unadjusted salary based auction is a non-starter for the following reasons:

- Non tech professions also hire people on H1Bs and don't pay as well as FAANG-likes do.

- Wages are generally lower in non bay area locations. Employers in low COL areas might lose out to those in high COL areas.

> Employees who voluntarily quit or are terminated are free to take any other job paying at least what the sponsor's job paid, provided they do so within 3 months.

3 months is generally not enough time to find a new job, finish immigration transfer formalities. This small duration to find a new job also leads to a lot of scams to maintain status.
> They may be valid points, but it is unreasonable to expect that another industry can compete salary-wise against FAANG at the moment, and it doesn't make their inability to find candidates locally any less true.

Even if they stopped doing stock buy-backs?
That's an interesting interpretation. In Canada, Charter free expression rights have been interpreted to include the right to access and read information, so censorship of foreign publications generally infringes the rights of Canadians who might wish to view them.

Of course I suppose that infringement is sometimes justifiable. Obviously free expression has limits and we do have probably-constitutional laws against foreign propaganda. But the government can't just ban a book because it was by a foreigner, thankfully.

The US also has strong consumer protection laws.

In the US, there are laws protecting credit card holders. The most that can be lost is $50 (or $500 in cases of extreme negligence).

My wife is a lawyer and has filed many cases and recovered attorney's fees for her client.

The court system is busy and not very sympathetic to parties that waste the courts time. You need to have an actual dispute that needs the court system to resolve.

If a business is stonewalling you and rebuffing you at every reasonable attempt to resolve an issue, you are highly likely to get your costs paid for, especially if that business has no leg to stand on. If your initial complaint documents page after page of your attempts to solve the problem outside of the court system, the judge is probably going to be extremely unforgiving to the other side.
In example #6, he gives this as the unreasonable approach:

var repo = new CustomerRepository();
var customer = repo.GetById(42);
Console.WriteLine(customer.Id);

with the issue being customer can be null, which is not being accounted for. The reasonable approach he says is to use a sum type:

var repo = new CustomerRepository();
var customerOrError = repo.GetById(42);
if (customerOrError.IsCustomer)
Console.WriteLine(customerOrError.Customer.Id);
if (customerOrError.IsError)
Console.WriteLine(customerOrError.ErrorMessage);

Do most (or any) languages in which people take this approach actually enforce handling of all cases? Or could a programmer write that this way:

var repo = new CustomerRepository();
var customerOrError = repo.GetById(42);
Console.WriteLine(customerOrError.Customer.Id);

and still have the same problem as the original?

It seems to me that the "reasonable" version is getting its reasonableness from naming the variable that gets the GetById return "customerOrError" which reminds the reader that there is an error case, not from the language having sum types. That's just a convention. Nothing stops you from naming it "customer" just like in the "unreasonable" language.

(I'd actually expect that from a lot of people, because you are probably going to have a lot more code in the case that you have gotten the Customer variant than in the Error variant case, and you probably don't want to be calling it customerOrError in the 99% of the code where you know that it is a Customer).

The Oklo reactor(s) in Gabon are such a wonder. I have to be careful to say "The world's first man-made chain nuclear reaction was achieved in a squash court at the University of Chicago in 1942."

While Oklo georeactors are relatively well-known now, have you all heard of the crazier hypothesized georeactors? Like that the Moon may have formed in a nuclear excursion? [1]

[1] https://phys.org/news/2010-01-moon-nuclear-explosion.html

Or the case for a terracentric georeactor (uranium is dense and would go down...) [2]

[2] https://www.pnas.org/content/100/6/3047

Uranium-235 decays faster than U-238. The current natural enrichment is 0.711%. 4 billion years ago it was 25%, well above levels necessary to make a chain reaction even in far less than ideal conditions.

Somewhat related, it also continues to blow my mind that about half of the internal heat budget of Earth comes from radioactive decay of primordial nuclides (while the other have is just what's left over from residual cooling) [3]. So geothermal energy is really just a gigantic Radioisotope Thermal Generator.

I don't get why American companies seem to regularly align themselves with authority like this. Apple has more yearly profits than the GDP of Belarus. Why does Apple play by the rules of Belarus. Honestly, if I had the power and influence of Apple I'd run my business in these third world sections of the world just like I run them in America. Arguably Apple has more weight on people in these regions than local governments do.
