Only SF residents can say and mean this, no city wants jobs to go away. It is not just jobs you don't like that goes, those jobs support and pays for a lot of other jobs in the area. They also a pay lot in taxes which keeps the city running

Ghost towns are not the same small towns. Larger cities become ghost cities not go back to being smaller.

SF is lot more likely to become Detroit if businesses leave, everyone should worry about that.
Heh, pay looks better than Stack Overflow; not saying much.
I really, _really_ miss printed magazines as a concept. Everything has moved online and there it commenced racing to the bottom. Back in the 90s you could make a business case of selling a printed magazine written by talented writers with insight and expertise. Now? Not so much.

I tried purchasing a few magazines about music production this summer but they read mostly like advertisement brochures, all “reviews” read like ghost written blog posts and there was no soul, for the lack of a better word, to be found.

In short - get of my lawn you damn kids, things were better in my days.
You can perfectly write C++ (from around 1993), Java (until version 1.4) or C# (until .NET 2.0) in Go.

That is the whole point, we know better 25 years later.
Personally, I already pulled the trigger 2 years ago when I first starting to write Rust professionally. A laptop just becomes far tooooo noisy compiling Rust code. These days I use 3 machines:

* A fanless Chromebook with decent screen for travel use

* An Intel NUC that is hooked to a big monitor, which is also the device I'm typing this on

* A beefy Ryzen desktop that sits in the corner of my balcony, which I usually connect via ssh and perform all the heavy tasks

To me I'm getting all the benefits of each computer, and the combined cost is still less than a so-called macbook pro :)
You pay a lot less for the Chinese built iPhone than you would for an American built iPhone.
Author here! Aside from Terminal.Gui, most of my GUI experience comes from SwiftUI on iOS and Mac. However, C# also has another cool terminal library called Sadconsole (https://sadconsole.com/) which I've used in the past to work on a Roguelike(https://markjames.dev/2020-05-21-making-a-roguelike-in-c-wit...). According to the developer, "SadConsole is an MonoGame 3.7-based game library that provides an engine to emulate old-school console and command prompt style graphics. One or more textures are used to represent the standard ascii character set. SadConsole allows you to create console instances which can be managed independently of each other. A console is made up of individual cells which can have a foreground, background, character, and a special effect applied to it."
Quality satire, please keep it up.

The only thing blockchain folks are doing really reliably is scamming the hell out of people.
I'm not saying it's a good thing, but it's pretty much universally the case across all industries and roles. I'm always surprised to hear that software engineers are surprised about this.

The interesting thing will be to see how remote work will change this over the next few decades.
This is the way.

This is also how you establish yourself as an outlier ;)
This is a fair point, but theirs is a fully remote setup.

Honestly, if I get hired by Buffer while living in a low-cost area, I’d immediately move to a high-cost city to get better pay. Supposedly, HR shouldn’t bat an eye on that, since there’s the calculator? Or would they ask me to not move?

Would an engineer living out of a hostel in LA get paid more than one who has a mansion in Bali?
If they were to pay their employees based on the value they provide (and factor in the labour market), they would probably not arrive at SF salaries, and couldn't afford anyone from SF. That's why they benchmark it against SF and then go down from there. 80% of a SF salary is still plenty!

So while it's not perfectly "fair", the outcome for most people involved is still pretty great.

You're just saying that a misinformation campaign aiming at manipulating the US elections quite possibly according to the whims of a totalitarian regime that aims at undermining the US from the top might not have resorted to use totally false and made-up information.
i'm a huge fan of bashrc_dispatch, which splits your bashrc into versions that run either all the time, when non-interactive, when interactive, or for login shells, as well as gives you functions like `shell_is_osx`, so you can share your configs across multiple operating systems:

Yeah, but usually the reason products are more expensive in a higher cost of living area is due to production and distribution costs being higher. Real estate for stores costs more. Onsite employees cost more. With a digitally distributed product and fully remote employees, none of those factors come into play.
Fault tolerance is a concept relative to a desired functional behavior. Relative to "everything should stay as-is", nature is not fault tolerant at all. But relative to "_something_ will keep existing and evolving" it is very fault tolerant. But that may not be the way we'd like.
If there was a very good and expensive phone produced in, say, Vietnam, I don’t think I would discriminate and consciously choose a more “appropriately priced” phone instead.

Global trade & containers are to thank for that, I suppose.
I have perhaps an unusual personal perspective on this.

I'm not diagnosed but have several aspergers/autism traits. The ones relevant to this are... I don't make eye contact and am largely blind to all but the most blatant nonverbal communication (ex: sobbing). Additionally, I have a flat affect (don't express emotions through facial expressions the way others do and have a monotone voice).

At my current work no one uses a camera, so there's not even the chance of seeing facial expressions or making eye contact either direction, though presumably people notice my monotone voice. I feel like this work environment has finally putting me on a near level playing ground with my coworkers.

I've never been "liked" so much by people, coworkers or otherwise. Last week one told me I was the nicest person he'd ever worked with. Normally people perceive me as uncaring due to my personality/behavior quirks. I tend to have less social needs than most people, but it's still nice to be thought of positively rather than negatively.

It never occurred to me until reading the threads here that people would have feelings about these communication attributes they are missing out on. I often forget that people communicate on more layers that I do.
That depends very heavily on the build infrastructure being used however
From what I understand Side channel attacks like that are usually theoretical in that in practice they are not very accurate, require a tremendous sample of known typed information to correlate with the recorded sounds and relies on the listening device remaining the same distance from the keyboard and the user maintaining the same verbosity of typing. Something sophisticated like that would probably be used more by a spy agency with a political or diplomatic target rather than somebody trying to steal your banking info

There are sites that don't work for any address from EU, because they they don't want to comply with GDPR. Not very common, but I have hit a few.

However, it's a difference whether a company does not want to serve you or whether a country that says it brings freedom to the world stops information flow for some. China is criticized for the big firewall. When the US does it to others, it's in the name of freedom.
3) To get rid of technical debt

Technical debt i.e. "code that should be refactored, because it was originally implemented in a hurry"? Yes, technically you're right and deleting all of the code is a way to also get rid of the code that should be refactored.

The same way whole-limb amputation is a very effective way to remove nail polish.

Java's place in data processing is as secure as COBOL's. Go's is not. But, as with COBOL, it is not because Java is good, or getting better. It is because--like COBOL, FORTRAN, C, C++, Javascript and Python, and unlike Pascal, Ada, PL/I and myriad others--Java got a miracle. Absent a miracle, languages fade away.
The claim is couched as, and appears to have been read by Github as, a §512 claim, bearing several of the conspicious elements of a §512 notice. As my footnotes document, it was widely read as same (it took me some time to realise it was not a §512 claim myself).

This could be argued as intentional, deceptive, and hence fraudulent.

My "taxonomy" wasn't meant to be a perfect delineation, but just to show that there's lots of variations of tonal and harmonic recognition and recall. I agree that the way I phrased #4, sounded more like what you do in simple ear training exercises ("Is this chord a major or minor?").

But... when I watch, say, a video of Herbie Hancock copying another player's complex chord progression perfectly, there is clearly a harmonic+melodic version of "perfect pitch" for those few people who can hear music and reproduce it accurately.
I recently got Oculus Quest II and I tried few of this VR social platforms. Even with cartoonish graphics representing face, body and hands having 3rd (4th) dimension added something that no Teams, Zoom meeting has additionally it solves some of the things mentioned in the comments (spatial sound, people zooming out ect). I'm a tactile memory person so for me perhaps it matters more than for others. I look forward to next iterations of VR gear and hopping for wider adoption while being aware of scepticism, technical issues ect.
> I was on the back-end of a large electronic health records implementation.

My organisation has done many EHR/EMR, PAS and EMPI implementations using systems from third party vendors (i.e. I don't have any dog in the which-system-is-best fight). With modern systems (i.e. applications developed during and after the HIPAA act) we have seen significant reductions in error rates relating to drug interactions and dosing.

> What people don't tell you is with the electronic health record, they also required that all these required elements be "charted" - on EVERY visit. So in new system pretty soon charts become a pages of boilerplate per visit - copy and paste stuff. It was not useful anymore to do a case history from this chart.

I did not know we were meant to keep this a secret. Yes, it is important that you record every encounter with "boilerplate" code. There are funding impacts (as case complexity rises with these lifestyle and prior history codes). If a patient presents with a cough and blood in the sputum, it is important to know that they were once a smoker. If a patient presents with a broken leg and they have a history of diabetes, their treatment will be considerably more difficult and expensive.

> And in this new system, every sysadmin could basically snoop on anyone (all in the name of patient coordination) as could lots of others who just ended up with the extra permissions because the system was so locked down we all basically had to be superusers.

I have worked on these systems as well. I find more recent systems to be far better better at accountability with regards to patient record access tracking. It has been a long evolutionary path, however.
I didn’t post the WaPo link because it’s pay-walled. I’m not endorsing the Mercury News article. But the whole “obstruction” debate was really proof of how sideways the media coverage had gone. Obstruction without something else is a pretty bullshit charge: https://reason.com/2019/04/19/in-defense-of-trump-obstructin.... We were promised he was a Russian asset, and when that evaporated we had an excruciating technical debate about Mueller’s assumptions about whether he could indict for obstruction.

As to “White Fragility”—Taibbi’s language is colorful, but that book isn’t mainstream left: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/07/dehumanizi.... (Podcast version: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-great-awokening/id....) Whereas Kendi’s “How to Be an Anti-Racist” is a book about public policy written in familiar liberal public policy language, “White Fragility” is a bizarre self-help book for white people who read Kendi’s book and didn’t understand it.

Also, while "Hitlerian race theory" is an appropriate description for someone who says white people should "strive to be less white." Picturing someone telling my half-white daughter that makes me think that Taibbi's description is on the nose.
We're living in an age where people deny the existence of jurisdictions that have gone without arbitrary closings and they're doing just fine, if not better than many jurisdictions that have had harsh lockdowns.

A manager's productivity IS the team's productivity, and should be measured in results.

A "productive" manager that slows down the team isn't an effective manager at all, no matter how hard he or she is working.

The manager might be able to scapegoat a poor team member or two when poor results become evident, but sooner or later, he or she will have to pay the piper.

"Cost of living" is not that straightforward to compute. In many Asian cities, the greatest cost is rent/mortgage. The cities are typically expensive and overcrowded because suburbs have no good schools and other amenities. However, most of these open salary calculators take raw purchasing power (like cost of commodity) to arrive at a rate.

I don't see the issue here? What do you think is stopping you from doing this in, for example, Common Lisp?

Common Lisp isn't typed, but there's no reason a Lisp dialect can't be. In fact, Typed Racket is just such a language.

Python 3 is only unusual in its failure. Perl6 Apocalypses [1] is wonderful. Python 3000 is pointless [2].

I've been Python developer at that time, the writing was on the wall. They have not provided migration path. PEP 414 "Complaint: This PEP may harm adoption of Python 3.2" [3], this is insane. Community voted with feet — they've stayed with Python 2 until clean migration path arrived. I've switched to Ruby and been happy since.

Ruby 1.8.7 was supported for five years.

You had to write Python 2 code and run 2to3, you had to live in the past or abandon it.

Buffer doesn't compete for San Francisco talent and that's OK. Of their 85 employees, they have 1 engineer in SF. Maybe that person isn't making bank. But the 3 persons in Barcelona appear to be. Average engineer salary in Barcelona is $44K and Buffer is paying $100K+. Good for them!

Go's designers have very different goals from others. They did not set out to design a language they would, themselves, like to program in. They meant to make a language that very distracted programmers would still be able to get things done using, and other distracted programmers could read and maintain.

Java also was not a language its designers wanted to use. They would rather code Lisp.

I did not like it at first but now I kind of got used to it. It makes errors very explicit. Other language alternative is wrapping in try catch block.

Wrapping everything statement which can produce error is more tedious.
I would point out that transparency is a good value, but often is highly overvalued. Not a commentary on gitlab in particular necessarily, but if someone is screwing you behind closed doors vs doing it openly which is worse? Should you not criticize?

I think transparency is so highly promoted by the managerial class and their media because by appearing to have a certain kind of ethics and virtue that do not impact the bottom line, it allows them to rationalize their actions to themselves or to others.

For example, if a powerful person performs an action in the open that is kind of sneaky and underhanded and no one says anything because they're afraid, then to the powerful person it seems like it's A-OK.

That said, I prefer transparency to opacity because without information you are blind and have to criticize the lack of information rather than material conditions.
I have to agree that the latest AMD Renoir processors are beasts - I have 4800H in a laptop that can sustain 54W TDP OOTB and CPU benchmarks are within spitting distance of my 3700X workstation. Amazing for a 1.5kg portable package.

As for traditional TensorFlow, the easiest way we found to improve performance (easily 2x) was to find/create builds tailored to our machines. Using Python, we had prebuilt wheels, which have (understandably) low feature requirements. If you find/build your own (e.g. if you have AVX-512), you can easily get pretty detect performance gains.

(Yes, there are unofficial wheels for various CPUs, but, not sure if that passes your security requirements.)
I was careful not to comment on the actual good-ness of the potential results for a reason.

All I said is that Epic Games did not file the suit purely out of the goodness of their hearts, the desire to make the world a better place, and despite their own wallets. They are doing this for themselves. It doesn't mean the results can't be good, but it does mean it shouldn't be on a list of lawsuits filed for purely altruistic reasons with no selfish motives.
