How does this work? Is it that women change their general purchase habits around that time, or that they buy specific products?
Remote work will take care of this. Developers will work for companies in USA that can pay more.

Companies want developers and will pay market rates. We will converge towards a global rate for devs.
Getting very rich allows me to do cook less, do less chores and build up my skill further (get better) or to pursue passions that do not pay well.

I calculated moving to Europe as a SWE would lead to a drastic lifestyle change for me—even with retirement, healthcare and children's education considered (with 2 children, Europe wins at 3 hands down).
I don't see how replacing "sift through a bunch of issues" with "sift through a bunch of feedback forms" makes the developer's job any easier.
Looks like Haskell-like do notation would be helpful.
This strategy doesn’t scale.
>* Substantially more actual vacation time

This depends on the company, last startup I worked at gave me around 6 weeks of vacation per year not counting holidays. Of course I got paid less than FAANG but still better than Europe even without the equity.

>* Substantially cheaper and yet similar health, dental, and vision coverage

I have heard a lot of people in Europe (UK and Germany) complain about issues with getting health coverage for non life threatening issues unless they also had private insurance. No idea how many companies pay for that in Europe.

>* Less risk/stress associated with job security

My bank account is my job security. I don't think I ever was worried about job loss after a few years of building up savings.
Your second point is the main reason. A company that can generate more revenue by hiring more devs is incentivized to hire more devs. [1] As an investor this is a no-brainer.

There are plenty of US companies that hire devs that do not have these economics, but they’re forced to pay more or loose the few developers they have.

What reduces the upside of European companies hiring?

[1] Calculate the revenue per employee of Facebook, Apple, Google etc to see how much money is involved.
Cool. So basically you left your wife with an incredibly intense emotional burden alone to struggle with your daughter by herself.

I hear this story all too often. This is not an anecdote about work life balance, this is an anecdote about how men take it for granted that women will inherit and take care of all the chaos in life and men can take a relative vacation at the office.

It's not ok.
The source have a script that builds in a docker from a bunch of other previously built binaries, allegedly to be built with keys that are secret, and then just output "the apks are the same" and you have to believe that ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

Still, years ahead anything else that actually have users.
The server is mostly 100% closed source. There's one open source that you can host, but it's widely believed to not be even close to the one they use.

Sure. For RTK specifically, I recommend reading the "Modern Redux with Redux Toolkit" section of the recently rewritten "Redux Fundamentals" core docs tutorial, which shows how RTK simplifies common Redux usage patterns:

https://redux.js.org/tutorials/fundamentals/part-8-modern-re...

And the companion "Redux Essentials" tutorial teaches Redux Toolkit as the default way to write Redux logic while building a "real world"-style example app:

If you were a big Bitcoin miner and you knew that there was only $2,000 flowing into the ecosystem for every Bitcoin mined, which would you rather?:

- Selling each Bitcoin for $2,000 to pay your electricity bills?

- Selling each Bitcoin for $40,000 USDT, which you know is only backed by $2,000?

Clearly the latter, because you make the same amount of money but get to keep 95% of your Bitcoin. The Tether fraud only makes sense if you assume that the miners aren't colluding, and that they don't make more money the more Tether gets devalued.
At WWDC last year they made it clear that every Mac is going to run on ARM eventually.
So why do I learn things better in a different way than most other people?

You can sit me down at a handful of basic math problems and it will take me literally 3 hours to work through them, and I'll still screw them up. Or you can give me a block of wood, a hand saw, a ruler, square, and I can teach myself some trig in a few hours.
See I would define cult classic as something that was not popular at the time of release, but then slowly gained popularity several years on to the point of becoming mainstream in the present. The movie Office Space is a canonical example for me.

Asking: Do European tech companies just offer lower salary, or do they also offer less equity?

In the US, most people I know made a significant chunk of their wealth from their equity growth, especially as equity grants grow much more than salary, as people get promoted.
These are scalable but very expensive in the clouds.

They require a cluster of machines, the replicate the data across them, using either expensive EBS or local disk (a few larger instance to pick).

Maintaining them well is another burden. The cool idea of JuiceFS is to shift the maintenance to hosted Redis and S3.
I will echo this. After we were acquired, I was incredibly hesitant about Pat. Over the past year, I’ve come to believe he is an excellent leader who has fantastic vision and insight even if we disagree on many things.

I’d be incredibly happy to have him if I were an Intel employee.

>> erosion of civil discourse

Maybe my naivete but it seems that online discussions are much less nuanced compared to face to face discussions we had when growing up. Sure I disagreed with relatives but it certainly feels a lot more intense now a days (quite possible that its just the nature of the medium).

>>level of discrepancy of Overton windows between rural and urban America

Do you have any recommendation on how to lessen this gap? I live in a major metropolis. But I keep getting a feeling that such a widening chasm can not be good for the society.

But when you start using dicts at the beginning, you would be learning about hash maps and what hashing is, etc. This is basically computer science 101 stuff, with which python makes an environment much easier to learn with.

In Silicon valley, its usually a race of execution. Hire an engineer today at any price rather than wait for tomorrow. This is due to sheer competition breathing down your neck. I do not see this in Europe and hence they do not have the urgency and low wages.
Probably Jobs was right, though I sometimes think of a better world where cloud storage and web apps are decoupled. No need to bother with Google Takeout because the data is already yours. I know that diagrams.net (formerly draw.io) does this but it's the only (major) web app I can think of which does.
Thus making the supplier $60 over 14 years.

Advertise it with some “value add” MITM dns hijacking by default and you can even get a recurrent revenue stream on top of it. Bundle it as “Internet security” and you can charge bothe the customer and the advertiser.
> Lower corporate tax.

This may quite likely have the opposite effect. Corporate tax is auf on earnings. If corporate tax is high, the push to generate higher earnings is decreased - a large chunk would end up in the tax authorities pockets. Paying your employees more this hurts less since part of the delta is paid from taxes.
> An ARM transition isn't a fait accompli just because Apple introduced M1 at the lower end of the Mac lineup. There's a huge lump of inertia there.

If you're just referring to Apple's future, the endgame is already a done deal. They don't roll back something this fundamental once it's public.

Their last Intel computers will be manufactured and sold within 3 years; I'd wager a month's salary on that if I had it lying around.

If they can't make it perform at the top level like AMD, which seems unlikely but obviously it's too soon to tell, they'll make up for it in other ways or simply live with the performance hit until they can.

Apple doesn't believe in inertia. Their partners and customers can either make the transition or get left behind. Microsoft's business model depends on making enterprises happy; Apple doesn't care.
Dropbox failed to go vertical. They need to sell a hardware storage device.
We might be related.
On a sidenote, apparently everyone leaving FAANG becomes an investor. In comparison, ten years in a similarly-sized company in europe might buy you a slightly-larger-than-average house.
Unlike others in that space (I am looking at you, Slack), Dropbox is still innovating. Dropbox Paper is the best collaborative writing tool that I have at my disposal (O365, Gsuite, Overleaf being the others). I use it with coworkers all the time to draft things or just to keep notes. And hey, the .paper files are actually on my computer.
If you can't hold it in your hot little hand, you don't own it at all.

There's a reason why some assets are called "real". Diamonds are real, gold is real, buildings are real, the other stuff is just numbers written by electricity. No electricity, no numbers.
Dropbox is just one of those services that got turned into commodity as tech caught up to them over the years especially for regular consumers
The secret chats feature is almost useless. They only work on phones, only in direct messages and are not the default. I doubt 1% of telegram users use it.
This reminds me of the attitude held by some Go developers (and Rob Pike) that the reason people want map/filter/reduce and similar generic functions on containers is because they want "less code", and the counter is that a for loop is "more explicit", "clearer", "less magical", and so on.

But for someone who is used to languages where these constructs (or list comprehensions) are idiomatic, they are perfectly clear and explicit, and using a for loop instead adds complexity.
Interesting perspective, thanks!

Not sure whether I agree or disagree, actually...

AFAICT Linearilazable is about the best we can expect in reality (at least for a distributed system), but as you point out: Very few people actually check their assumptions... and even fewer actually think about DB transactions correctly in the first place. It's actually really, really hard and people have these rules of thumb in their heads that aren't actually correct.

Which gets me to wondering if we could formalize some of this stuff... (in relevant "code scopes", dgmw!)

EDIT: If there is one thing I am certain about it is the fact that a lot of consistency can be relaxed around human interaction. It's lossy anyway, and people will call you (eventually, depending on anxiety/shyness) if you haven't fulfilled an order. The browser is the first order of that and that's already out of date once you show a page, so... Anyway, that's just to say it's amusing how much people worry about consistency on the front end
Redis is an in-memory database, so the persistency of data should be supported by using RDB and AOF together with replication and failover.
Be more productive. Companies can only pay more when they make more.

SV is awash in capital because it grows earnings in the 20+% YoY basis. Euro zone companies don’t seem to do this.

My understanding is that EU regulates high growth away too early in corporate life cycle, so anyone wanting to grow fast goes somewhere else.
It's possible to pipeline a stack CPU but the there is an upper limit on the number of pipeline stage that make sense. A forth friendly (data and return) dual stacked CPU can be very simple and small yet achieve a throughput close to one instruction per cycle.
Going superscalar on a single datastack is hard. You basically have to rename every stack access and most compute instructions consume two arguments producing a single result. You just trapped yourself in a fate about as bad as having to implement a superscalar x87 FPU.

One interesting design to break the 1 instruction per clock barrier is a multistack VLIW design. In this design the dense encoding of a stack based instruction compensates for the low usage code density common in VLIW instruction sets. See https://bernd-paysan.de/4stack.html an example of this out of the box approach.
I can't say for sure what you can do with a miniPC, but I did 1 Gbps routing with all packets going through userland and back to the kernel (because of any over elaborate at&t router bypass) on a pentium g3258 (haswell, dual core, 3.2 Ghz) and it was fine. A transmeta box seems probably a bit old, but relatively few people have gigabit internet. If you wanted that box to do wifi too, that might be problematic; but I generally use wireless routers configured in access point mode to be access points. In access point mode, as long as the networking hardware and drivers are decent, you get fine performance; you don't need great NAT acceleration or properly managed memory for state tables on the wireless devices, since that's managed on the router/firewall/could be a home server too.
> I think they are talking about Chinese nationals reassigned back to China or other non-German countrie

This almost certainly doesn't matter.

If someone is working, full time, in the german office, for years, then they are almost certainly covered by german labor laws, even if they are a chinese national.
Yep.

It would revert to not being signed, which routes just fine. You just don't get the additional security benefits. It won't turn it into invalid if I'm following what you are saying.
I think a lot of people are missing the point that a traditional DB (MYSQL/Postgress) are not a good fit for this scenario. This isn't a CRUD application but is instead a distributed control plane with a lot of reads and a small dataset. Joins and complex queries are not needed in this case as the data is simple.

I am also going to go out on a limb and guess that this is all running in kubernetes. Running etcd there is dead simple compared to even running something like Postgress.

Congrats on a well engineered solution that you can easily test on a dev machine. Running a DB in a docker container isn't difficult but it is just one more dev environment nuance that needs to be maintained.
As mentioned in other place, the perfect solution would be adding Raft to redis [1].

Those formatting options really drive home the point that JSON is a terrible serialization format for tabular data.
I just had a skim over the post and it seems to be saying that it allows them to process user data without the OS having access to it. This does nothing at all for letting me verify what is running on their server or that they are even using this SGX feature at all.

It protects signal from hackers or a malicious datacenter provider at best.
The sad thing about this (and other) is that people also make the inverse mistake: they think that the only interpretation of freedom of speech is what was written in the constitution and what the scotus has interpreted it as.

I'm not a trumper. Im mostly glad someone has taken a stand on these issues (tech companies would not be in my top 1000 choices, but here we are)

That said, it is concerning that tech companies can decide who speaks. They've been very very self controlled with that power. Good for them. Will they always be? Can't you claim that Facebook today is the public square of yesterday? Once a platform reaches a certain size, I don't think it should censor beyond the legal minimum (twitter is a good example of this).
I'm guessing SWE's in more chill markets make more as well.
Here's a fun fact (and I suspect shows what a loser I am :-)) Pat Gelsinger and I were colleagues at Intel in the early 80's. We both worked in what was called "MIPO" (Microprocessor Operation) but I was in Systems Validation and he was on the customer facing side with field engineering. My career went off through a variety of engineering roles, his went into management and up. When he joined EMC, I told him I had always thought he would have been Intel's CEO. He told me, "Hey, maybe I still will be :-)" That was like 10 years ago, and here he is.

There are a lot of things you can say about Silicon Valley, but one of the more interesting aspects of it for me has been how "small" it is in terms of people have an oversized impact. I have never been one of those people of course, just a part of the entourage. But it has been interesting to watch and learn from folks who are good (and bad) role models.
In other words, it's a spec sheet, which is useful for people who are already experts in the language. Beginners and intermediates, on the other hand, need it to be something more like a textbook: something that contain not just the technical details, but also commentary and examples about them that tie them to "real life" scenarios.
I think people who want to talk to each other should be able to do it without my listening or interfering, even if they're planning violence against me.

Don't get me wrong, I do want to be defended from violence! But not at all costs. I don't want people to be tortured in the name of defending me, and I don't want every conversation on the internet to be monitored and censored in the name of defending me. That's too much.
Well I believe that no pipe is better than a a handicapped pipe operator.

The Elixir implementation inverts the classical order of piping last in functional languages to the detriment of it. IMO a language should either support pipe last AND currying by default or supply a multitude of thread operators like Clojure does (->, ->>, as->, etc). Elixir's is just middle-of-the-road-weird.
I upvoted because the content was technical, well written and different than what we normally see on HN.
Two articles explaining how different groups of observers arrive at the estimate of a million:

https://qz.com/1599393/how-researchers-estimate-1-million-uy...

https://www.chinafile.com/reporting-opinion/features/where-d...

They admit the number may not be precise (because China wouldn’t allow direct access of evidence), but it is “credible”.

This number agrees with the “detention targets” (of 10 percent of the population) shared by local officials, and the average estimates by local people.

Detention targets of local officials and estimates by local people are evidence. Not air-tight, but are reasonable when China forbids independent verification.

The second article also mentions indirect evidence, other than local reports or satellite images. All very conservative estimates give about 200,000. But these are very conservative estimates. The actual number is likely much higher, and suggests that “a million” isn’t too far off.
FWIW, I personally trust the "unverifiable" Signal build I get from the app store more than I trust the OS my phone runs.

Your university education and healthcare are free, your public transportation is ubiquitous and functional, and your retirement is a bit more secure than ours.

The method of financing these things (VAT) affects your employer's top line.

Where in the United States we get to see the money first and then have to dispense it, in Europe, it's gone before it even shows up as revenue to your employer.

To-may-to, to-mah-to.

I doubt it's strictly SWEs who are affected by this phenomenon, either. Most of your professionals probably appear to make less than their U.S. counterparts.
I’m pretty certain that lack of technical talent is not one of the factors contributing to the relatively fewer numbers of large European tech companies.

Trump was calling for peaceful protest before the riot, and his final tweets (while continuing his message of 'stolen election') called for the protesters to go home and remember the day.
