> I find your attitude of continuing to attack Apple inappropriate.

I do so because I am an Apple user - this is being typed on a mac mini. I also own other Apple hardwares.

I also advocated for Apple hardware within my family & friends to switch from Android to Apple quite successfully (I am the IT guy in my circle). I did so because I would like to believe their commitment to privacy they have publicly stated. (Tim Cook being Gay adds to that trust because he understands that privacy is not just about hiding secrets but protecting ourselves from political persecutions by those who do not like some part of our identity - whether it be regional, gender, political, cultural, religious, sexual etc.).

It doesn't mean I trust them blindly or completely or will allow them to screw my customer rights (like right to repair, and OWN my device). Would you?
Alexandria, Virginia had a whites only bar until sometime in the mid 2000s.

There was no state law against racial discrimination and the bar only used local products so didn’t engage in interstate commerce.

You see, unless we specifically make laws to protect a class of people, private companies will discriminate on that basis.

I guess the question here is do we want to make “people who lie and spread disinformation about important matters” into a protected class. As if is now, we barely discriminate against them. You have to lie for 4 solid months, culminating in a violent riot against the central government before any private entity will ban you.

No. Those taxes are levied on the gross income, not on the net income after the previous tax has been applied.
> Northern Western media lean heavily towards US Democrats, I remember Reagan basically being described as the devil. In the same vain, Trump is painted as an imbecile.

The U.S.A. Democrats are portrayed as a lesser evil at best, and even that is starting to become a thing of the past since they assimilated various political factions that do not categorically stand for the little man, but only for themselves whom they believe to be a little man, otherwise not caring for the others, that are often rife with the authoritarianism the U.S.A. Republicans were known for.

> The question I ask people who share these beliefs is : do you really think you can win the presidency of the US when you are below average? Of course not.

No, but I, and many on H.N. have probably never had a serious conversation with a man whose i.q. is south of 100.

George W. Bush' i.q. was apparently estimated as 125 from SAT scores, so this thread reports — everyone I know who took an i.q. test is higher than that so 125 seems quite low, and to me insufficient to lead a country.

I would gander that most statesmen indeed have an i.q. north of 125, so that would make G.W.B. lower than average in that world at least.

Such vague words as “dumb” and “idiotic” are of course taken to be relative to the speaker's perceptions and milieu.
On average, military tends to be more pro-war then civilians. Partly it is self-selection, partly it is values taught in training (values taught because they make you more effective soldier).

> The fading of WWII in the public memory could be argued as the biggest single risk that society faces. There are too many people who just won't understand how bad and how possible total war is.

People who started WWII were WWI veterans - that is who Nazi leadership were. Starting from Hitler, through Goebbels, down the rank. Not being veteran was seen as weakness. For that matter, Stalin was veteran too.
The funny thing about this comment is that it is also applicable to the software in the car. The amount of software in today's car is mind boggling, and it grow exponentially as more and more features make it to the public roads.

Again, you're arguing against a point of view which I've never professed.

Yes, of course it would be ridiculous if you had to activate your blinkers through the touchscreen. Did anyone claim otherwise? Are the blinkers in a Tesla controlled through the touchscreen?

Nothing. Barring some routing-level tampering, you simply won't be able to get a reply if the IP you put in your packet is wrong.

Would you seriously consider anything else? If a friend of mine with a PhD told me to adress him as "Doctor" I would assume he was joking...
At least on the TV show the reactors are internal though, so this (quite neat!) speculation doesn't work there.
This may sound stupid speaking as a non-american engineer, but do engineers really need to earn insane amounts?

We already earn well above average, don't have to pay healthcare and bay area rent.

I don't see many experienced devs/engineers complaining that they're not paid double like americans, because we already earn enough to keep us in a decently above average lifestyle.
Presumably just another s3 bucket?

Do all your transferring from an EC2 instance in the same region and it never needs to waste bandwidth going over the public internet anyway.
You have a point, you need to be intelligent and have good characters- stamina, devotion, punctuality etc.

A figure skater might not be intelligent in the common sense, she wouldn't know a lot about world economics or physics, but I think she would definitely be life smart.

The fact that PiS is terrible is clear indication that they have a bad agenda behind this move.

In some countries, it is illegal to promote racist speech, or to call for violent actions, etc. These countries define a limit to free speech. Morawiecki would call these limits censorship of free speech, but these are not.

Moreover, anyone crossing these limits may be sued in court. No such things with FB / Twitter ban. This makes Mariewki's statement even more pointless.
You can remember sacrifices as horrors to not be repeated. Or you can remember sacrifices as aspirating thing, the one that motivates you to pick up the gun to go sacrifice yourself, so that you proves your manhood.

The latter is what militant regimes do and did.
> those things at that scale

When everybody have those things, you no longer think of them as "richness". Richness is what sticks out.

150 years ago very few people had running water, electricity, fridge, WC, etc.

Most urban americans live "richer" lives today than the rich did 150 years ago.
I don't know. It's the "appeal to authority" that makes it silly in my eyes. It's sort of the opposite of the scientific mindset, and that bothers me. Stallman or Franklin calling themselves "Doctor" I can definitely live with.
One of the reasons why laws actually even exist is to limit the freedom of private actors to do what they want.

You, I and many others actually cannot do whatever we want, even on our own property.

It is true that the software world isn't used to the same level of regulation as manufacturing or agriculture, so the idea of application of, say, antitrust laws to digital giants seems unusual to software people.
I disabled IPv6 altogether, and Apple’s processes are still finding a way to resolve their real IPs after my DNS and /etc/hosts resolved their domains to 0.0.0.0.

DNS should be enough, I shouldn’t have to black hole Apple’s entire /8 to stop macOS from phoning home when I’m not using the computer and no apps are running.

British, for contrast. I attribute most of my success to luck. I was born with aptitudes, in a stable family, white male. I'm definitely not worth what I'm paid from a societal point of view. I find the idea of being multiple times the median wage for chilling in front of a computer solving puzzles bizarre.

The idea of talking about money is slightly awkward anyway, and I guess I'd say embarrassed rather than ashamed? Different culture and motivation, but a datapoint for you :)

> But Angela Merkel for example critisized strongly the actions of Facebook, Twitter et al.

If we’re talking about her recent comments, I think “strongly criticised” is a reach. The comments were essentially “Twitter was right to flag Trump's inaccurate tweets about the 2020 U.S. election, banning his account altogether was a step too far ... governments, not private companies, should decide on any limitations to freedom of speech”.

She missed the fact that freedom of speech in the US doesn’t protect incitement to violence, by law that was decided by the legislature.
I've never stopped using jQuery, it makes everything so much easier to work with. I've built large web apps using only jQuery and never had any problems, I just really like direct DOM manipulation instead of some abstractions and jQuery makes it as simple as possible.
I can see what you mean, it does however assume that staying in a job is the same as being stuck in a job, doing the exact same thing you were doing 20 years ago - perhaps this assumption is a reflection of US work culture (you tell me, I don't know)?

If you have a good job with a stimulating environment, colleagues, and decent pay, then the perception of being stuck does not exist. Over time the role will change to reflect the changing organisation and role.
One thing I need jQuery for: tracking progress on file upload. Fetch does not do it.
It sounds like one of these american stereotypes that quite often turns out to be true.

That everyone should aim to be super stinking rich, or everyone is living in the gutter, but there's no inbetween

Unis are telling people that they can be the next zuckerberg or bezos, instead of telling them that they can earn well enough to have a very comfortable lifestyle for the rest of their lives
> even adjusting for lower cost of living

Ha, good one! If I wasn't living in Europe probably even three concurrent full-time FAANG-like SWE jobs for the last 10 years wouldn't cover the medical expenses I have accumulated by now. Makes sense people earn more money over there. And don't even get me started on my education ...
Splendid, thanks for this :)

I mostly agree with this.

I'd say compared to my undergrad, the teaching quality is overall better. Which makes sense, since pedagogy is much more of a deliberate focus for OMSCS. I think this is a big advantage to online programs actually. There are definitely some rough patches, but the program is still young, and constantly improving.

Networking is much better too in my opinion, compared to my undergrad - you are in a class with full time professionals in a wide range of companies and industries - from software engineers to execs. There are many opportunities for networking. You do need to be involved in Slack/Piazza though, which takes time.

Becoming a TA is also the path to getting involved in research and even going into a PhD program after OMSCS. Very few people do this as it is a very large time commitment - but it is possible and professors generally are open to it.
SA is an OPEC nation. Price and access are not set by member states.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPEC
Hmm, it's anecdotal, but my colleagues who moved from Ireland and UK to Austria say that back there it was basically a tax heaven for tech workers compared to the income taxes they pay here so... maybe you could be wrong?
Can

You realize in Germany these "benefits" are available to literally every citizen, right? That means _every developer got this deal, here.

So here is the thing: You can get obscenely rich here, too.

What's your point, really? That you can get rich in America, as a dev? That rich people get all the benefits? Your take on parenting?

Really insightful information there. Thanks for sharing....
if you can, just invoice in EUR. that's what i did.

> A dessert with banana in less than 30 minutes

It detects "dessert" and "30 minutes" but it doesn't detect "banana". Looking at the instructions, I think you are not detecting ingredients, so ... I think this is a feature request.

Is this connected to a real database with many recipes or is only a demo of natural language to a sql-like language?
PowerFlow from EXA/Dassault uses LB. It is widely used in the automotive industry mostly for aerodynamics simulations.

Every year the same actually.
That doesn't give any indication of size at all. For a start "a server" isn't a standard size. That could be 20 Raspberry Pis or 20 machines equivalent to Amazon t2.2xlarge resources. Even if it was 20 Raspberry Pis, a site could handle tens of millions of transactions a year with a moderately well designed architecture.

"servers" is not a useful metric.
"When it hits the walls it registers as a single point" is pretty vague and seems to me to be where you're kinda glossing over a lot of the not-just-a-wave complexity.

Im fairly certain you could make an experiment where one photon went through some apparatus and two specks of light appeared at the photo detector (with new wavelengths of course). What mechanism in your wave-only theory describes this split? Why do these waves sometime split or fuse and other times stay as single particles? The 'it stays as one particle cause it started as one particle' explanation would lead to a very monochromatic universe!
I don’t view paying my own individual debt as a tax. I have a percentage of my pay deducted and diverted to my retirement account. That’s not a tax either, even though it’s percentage-based on my pre-tax amount and directly deducted.
More jobs, less candidates, higher salaries. Nothing else.
How to Be a Successful Writer and Earn Income on Medium, News Break, Vocal Media
I can confirm the other commenter: in general European companies don't offer equity, at all. There are exceptions especially in managerial positions but that's the general rule. I know exactly one developer who has part of their compensation in equity.
I have a 2004 Land Rover Discovery 3 with 220k miles on it, all of the systems in that car still work, even the ancient screen with all of its functions is still absolutely fine.

Teslas seem to be on the same path as smartphones - even if the original hardware doesn't get any slower as such, the experience gets worse and worse and worse with updates, to a point where a car that's less than 10 years old is now uncomfortable to use. It's a tragedy.
+1 for Joplin, I moved over from Evernote because I was worried about Evernotes future and I have been pretty happy with Joplin. It's not quite as featured as Evernote but it is more stable and reliable.
I have recently (one week ago) found out that MOX can easily route (and maybe even NAT) 2.5gbps with just about 50% of CPU usage, via the XDP framework. Unfortunately it is not easy to get XDP to endusers.

For me the interesting part on MOX is modularity. You can have 24 switched ethernet ports, which is interesting for network admins at least.
By web, do you mean websites? Does that include images? JavaScript?

Not even that in many cases.

Some men are famous for being famous that have none of that but were at the right place at the right time.

Or perhaps simply have fine motor control, balance and generally high aptitude for figure skating?

And I do think you underestimate how often success is either the product of being born into it, or a simple fluke as it so often is with celebrities.

Jennifer Lawrence apparently never even followed any acting lessons but entirely coïncidentally discovered that he had quite the talent for acting and fame, and the monetary benefits thereof, came entirely as a fluke.
So...there's conflicting reports? What are you going to do? I guess you'll have to think and decide for yourself. That's not too much to ask is it?
I suppose one advantage Pirate Bay had was that they set out doing something illegal, whereas Parler probably didn't even consider the possibility that they would have to fight to stay online.

Apple has tightened the rules around forums lately, I don't think they required moderation when Parler started.

The other thing is of course that Pirate Bay was started by hard core computer nerds, not business people.
I haven’t used react since 2017, but the fact that react-router is still undergoing painful API changes somehow doesn’t surprise me.
Divatrim Keto Ingredients: What Is Inside It?
Divatrim Keto is very important for natural weight loss. And it’s very difficult for your body to get into Ketosis naturally.

Cut off by who though, and why? Denying what?

These questions don't exist in a vacuum, and wars are terrible ways to secure resources as the US's adventurism in the Middle East has shown.

If your goal is say, oil, it's still cheaper to just buy it.
> Anyhow, if your image shows recognizable landmarks with shadows, then it will be feasible to recover the exact point of view and the time of acquisition.

With what level of accuracy? Are you claiming you can confidently assert 2020-12-21 15:12 over, say, 2020-12-22 15:15 via shadows
They claim that, but they lie.

It's easy to have a fair point if you just lie about it.
Indeed, hardware accelerators weren't introduced because of the GPL. What changed was that previously they were connected to the main cpu and driven by drivers that fell under the GPL; to avoid the GPL secondary CPUs were introduced not running linux at all.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but it was a tough situation. The US was out for blood after 9/11, and there were no good answers to the question of what to do about Saddam (I know, they were two different issues). That doesn't excuse screwing it up, in some ways that were absolutely avoidable. I think it was more a competency issue than a malice issue though. Competency with Bush, malice and competency with Rumsfeld.
That might be your opinion, but I think you'd be excused sitting on the jury for sharing it.
SA is a powerful inside voice against anti-US measures by OPEC (post 73 at least), and promotes other US-friendly aspects such as the Petrodollar.
That's very interesting observation and well put summary. Do you have similar insights about other nations? :)
>>Are we switching to a disposable car model now?

I'm afraid we have done long ago now. BMW estimates that 90% of buyers won't keep their car for longer than 3 years. They are rolling out a subscription model for features based on that fact - so you buy the car which has all the functions built-in from factory, but then pay an annual fee to unlock them. Fancy heated seats? You get a 7 day free trial, after that it's a paid unlock. Same with adaptive cruise control, adjustible suspension, sport driving modes, etc etc. Tesla might have pioneered this model but BMW is taking it all the way. And they have the gull to say it actually saves their customers money so it's a preferred option.
Because you got a match against them? Because you have friends in their group? Or peers? In the game I played, the top players knew each other.

Actually, you got a good idea who does the DDoS; "supporters" (hooligans) of group X, who got your IP from admin of voice chat server of group X.
How to automate translations syncing with your GitHub repository
The elephant in the room is nuclear weapons. Take a hard look when the history actually changed.

As long as politicians didn't fear for their own precious lives, they didn't mind throwing heaps of others' lives to shift the balance of power by 1%. They weren't starting these wars for merely economical value of land or money - it was always about (non-economical) value of power. Since 1945-1949, the stakes are suddenly too high and that's why don't have major wars anymore.
> I suppose this is obvious but the traditional way of increasing prices is to lower the supply.

I've been thinking about this recently and it feels like the current culture in software engineering is to increase the supply. I see people who code and offer free coding lessons to their friends. Pre-covid there has been multiple meetups where I live in themed like "programming for no programmers" or "build your first app".

At the same time when I look at other high impact jobs, like lawyers or doctors, they seem to be keen on building moats around their profession. There are no "six week law bootcamps" that would give you useful skills or anything like that. I'm getting a feeling that engineers are unwittingly cutting the branch they sit on, but they will only realize this years from now when it's too late.
Switch Transformers: Scaling to Trillion Parameter Models with Simple Sparsity
Dissecting OpenTelemetry Go Tracing
Not sure if this counts, but I wrote my first program in 1972, when I was 8 years old. On an old mechanical teletype, connected via an acoustically coupled modem to a mainframe in the other end of the city. I only saw the BASIC interpreter, but my father told that they were doing some calculations abroad, even in the US, where he could get cheaper night time when it was daytime in Finland.

Edit: Those remote jobs were most likely batch jobs, and I am not sure how they got the stuff over, may not have been over a network connection.
