The person I was replying to didn't specify any particular baseline for living standards, so I reject the assertion that my example was inappropriate.

If you want to raise a family in SF proper, I agree that 100k/yr total income would be insufficient for what most people consider a reasonable QoL, even if one spouse stayed at home to take care of the children to avoid childcare costs.

Of course, in SF, 100k/yr is "entry-level engineer at an early stage startup" territory in terms of earnings, which is not the typical profile of someone trying to raise children. You'd have to be trying really hard to not make double that as a mid-level engineer in the Bay, though.

Keep in mind that even once you get past the flashy comp numbers at FAANG, there are a huge number of publicly-traded tech companies in the Bay which pay enough that you could afford a mortgage to buy a house in SF on a single engineer's earnings without breaking 35% of post-tax take home pay. (A bit of a stretch at 200k, easy at 250k.) Even startups are getting there: a friend of mine recently got a new job in the Bay (not in SF, but close) paying over 200k in cash comp (base + bonus) with less than 5 years of experience, plus some options (which are probably not worthless, but can't immediately be used to pay a mortgage). He's a good engineer but this isn't an unusual outcome; some of the engineers I know aren't as good, but they make more money because they took the interview grind seriously and went for companies with publicly-traded stock.

Ask HN: ELI5 explanations for need of data privacy
With the fresh rise of privacy concerns among common folks, lots of people start putting forth "why worry if you have nothing to hide"-esque arguments. I wanted to make a collection of "Explain it like I am 5" explanations and some examples for the need for data privacy for anyone online. My favorite example is about insurance companies reading your data and declining services based on their "analysis" of it. I wanted more such examples. So maybe we could make this thread a repository of explanations and examples we all could use to tell people in a way they'd understand!

I don't know how it works on apple hardware—though I heard they used a UEFI variant with HFS+ at one point—but in general, on PCs, there are two ways to get bootcode to run.

The first is legacy BIOS: the BIOS will load the first 512 bytes of the boot sector, called the Master Boot Record (MBR) into memory location 0x7C00; they are then responsible for bootstrapping the rest of the system. Usually by doing the bare minimum to load a second-stage bootloader off the disc, and letting the second-stage bootloader do the rest of the work, since 512 bytes (actually only ~440) is really not very much.

The second is UEFI. The firmware will load a PE-formatted executable from a .efi-suffixed file on a FAT32 partition which has the EFI System Partition (ESP) flag set. Since this PE file can be any size, a second-stage bootloader is not generally necessary (but may be interesting for aesthetic reasons e.g. if you don't like PE).
Thanks for this! I have a follow-on article to this one with some better radix sort approaches, but I never finished it and it remains unpublished. That one did compare the performance with some other non-standard library sorts, and I'll add prqsort to the list.

Admittedly, the benchmark I am using is very simple. In general, radix sort is sensitive to very different characteristics of the input than almost any comparison based sort. E.g., LSD radix sorts (at least like the ones presented here) care about the full range of the input, or how many bits are non-zero in any key (or some similar thing) since the number of passes is related to the number of relevant bits.

Similarly, certain patterns that are good for quicksort or merge sort are terrible for radix sort and vice versa. So it's hard to crown an overall winner: it is input dependent.
It'd be easier to build and maintain a canal. If you're worried about evaporation, then just build a canal to the ocean and desalinate the water. It'd probably consume much less energy than a mega pipeline.

Hi, I’m one of the creators of Levels.fyi and I just wanted to mention that we actually do have this feature. You can filter our compensation table by # of years of experience or years spent at the company by using the filters next to the search.

This is also available on our level specific pages, for example for Google L3: https://www.levels.fyi/company/Google/salaries/Software-Engi...

Though I do agree it would be really nice to have this reflected in our visuals or aggregates where possible.
What nonsense. I did not choose to be born with a neurological condition.
This is the basis for Composita ie. Every component has it's own message stack which allows a formal interface to the component to a) reference count b) allow static analysis for deterministic memory allocation (max stack depth required).

Performance is great, managed memory with no GC, multithreaded GUIs are possible etc.

Composita is a further development of A2. I think that it was a real missed chance that A2 wasn't chosen instead of Android as the ZUI and compiled modules would have been a great fit for mobile.

I've seen several of them in Europe. Both in media and IRL. Knowing some people who work at a local one, all I can say, is that this quite certainly is the road to the future.

For one, because unions and govts are pushing down to delivery services that pretend to have "freelancers" working for them, but really just offload costs (social fees, insurance, taxes) to underpayed workers. A model where all the employees are actual entrepeneurs, and not just on paper will work much better here.

And second, because delivery is a rapidly growing niche in itself. So even if coops take only 2%, it is a rapidly growing 2%.
>When I first saw the "large size" side drinks at fast foods I started laughing. In Europe the large size is equivalent to the US Medium.

Depending on where exactly you were, this is the experience of a lot of Americans compared to the sizes from their childhoods. A lot of places missed the point on Super-Size Me and just renamed their sizes to eliminate extra-larges around that time. So a 16oz shifted from being medium to being small.
I agree with you, I just think it'll be a scene of paying one half of the population to kill the other.

There will be plenty of softer targets meal team six will be going after first, with plenty of fighting to keep them distracted.

I'm picturing Bill running the old embrace, extend, and extinguish model until they all just kill each other or die of hunger/radiation/lead poisoning.
I remember when Apple introduced MagSafe in 200. Personally I never had an issue with tripping over the power cable. I think USB-C w/ PD is better. I can connect one cable for power and data and on any side of the laptop. If Apple did reintroduce MagSafe we would be back to a minimum of 2 cables: a dedicated power port on one side and docking station/display USB-C. Perhaps Apple could come up with a MagSafe USB-C design.
I've always felt the reverse, it's the doer that are in knee deep in the guts of various technological endeavor that display the most technological skepticism.
Based on my insights (I'm actively recruiting software engineers, my dad used to run a health clinic as a doctor, I'm educated and have many friends within management consulting - in Sweden) that's at least not true for doctors - at least it's in the same ballpark (in contrast with FAANG-level salaries).
One of the core tenets of free software licensing is that there is a fair, symmetrical relationship for all parties involved.

Elastic obviously does not publish their own management infrastructure code under SSLP, so the reason for this license to exist is to make the playing field uneven as opposed to all the other free software licenses.

Basically, they can benefit from your code on top of and around ES, while you can't from theirs. This is actually the result of dual licensing but with other free licenses, at least the symmetry is maintained for the core product.

I am not making a judgement call here, just explaining what the distinction is.
I don't understand, how can you undo it by paying for it?

Microsoft is a for profit foreign owned service. So is google. And Apple. And facebook.
A superior outcome would be OTT peer-to-peer communication, with small groups of peers forming their own mini-networks potentially linking with others if there is mutual interest. The massive groups that form via today's internet do not reflect human nature in the real world. People usually are only part of small groups, family, friends, colleagues, teammates, etc. People usually keep the groups isolated from one another, for the most part. The internet has been hijacked to become primarily a broadcast medium that serves the interests of advertisers, marketers, promoters, etc., those who deal in hype, and a relatively small number of companies (middlemen) that enable them. The hijackers all want internet users to join large groups that can be targeted through a central point with commercial/political mesaging.

Posturing as protectors of free speech is quoted in the article though:

This is consistent only if censorship does not include removing illegal speech, which I don't think is a very widespread definition.
I feel like the author is confused between server-side and client-side development, and proceeds to say that programming is hard.

He even goes on to quote himself (sigh) as a proof of what he proposes.

Look, maybe someone just explained it badly to you, and you should look it up for yourself. However, if the command line looks scary to you... wait until you read bad documentation :)

My point is: yes, programming is awesome. But just like it's hard to become a good musician if you shy away from sheet music, programming is hard if you shy away from command line and a little web searching to know what $PATH is.

If that is your mindset, then maybe it's just not for you. There's still plenty of awesome things you can do in IT without ever touching code, though. Machine learning is accessible from nice UIs now. I used that, it's great.

As pointed out by others, there's also plenty of websites where you can either try things, or build complete projects. AWS, for one, has a fully browser-based editor for Lambda. Look it up, it might be the solution for you.

Diet Soda vs. Regular Soda – Which Is Better for You?
That's a really nice idea! I like that. What helped me from impulse buying is a simple thing; I always when I encounter something I want to buy I store it in the bookmarks (I have a folder in bookmarks called "To buy"). I only buy after a couple of weeks have passed and I decided I really need that thing. When I have a free time I go through my list and delete things that are obsolete. The second thing is, I have a limit of buying 1 thing per week (this includes also things like basic necessities, for example deodorant, that I need for myself). Needless to say I got the inspiration from my wife, she practices this for a few years already. The best thing about this is that it actually makes me feel good.

>Fitbit to compete with Apple

Fitbit is/was a mosquito, they could never surive an 'all out war' with Apple.
Fitbit does not compete with Apple. Google does.

The problem is that once Google gets their hands on our sweet data (in the off chance you don't have an android phone), then they will definitely put that data in 'good use'.

I see some (marketable) benefits though... Fitbits can be tracked. Imagine walking past a store, a sensor with 'talk' with your fitbit, and pull your G-ad profile and a screen will display the ad you missed to see on your gmail. And this is what I need to see. Walking past a sex shop and being flashed this huge wierd looking dildo with lights and lasers, because Google 'knows' I enjoy sex and Star Wars (not combined though).

And all that thanks to my FitBit bracelet :)

I subscribe to Consumer Reports and always check there first to see if they have rated items in the category I’m shopping.

In the last year I’ve bought a great garbage disposal, some all weather tires, a pellet grill, and a dishwasher based off their recommendations. Often times instead of getting the very best rates of something I’ll buy the second best which is often 1/2 the price. Sometimes the best of an item is really cheap compared to other brands that are shinier but objectively worse at the core function of the product.
Zodiac might make a better film, but actually I guess you can just transplant the protagonist into a variety of wacky adventures over a number of seasons. I think Snowcrash (like Cryptonomicon or Anathema) relies a bit too much on explanations for it to work on the screen. Diamond Age feels like it comes to too much of a conclusion, maybe it’s a mini series
I guess it all comes down to which unequality we're talking about. Sure, if does not significantly affect the difference between the very top and the rest. But there are a lot of differences between different brackets from the ones at the bottom up to 99% too.

Why? Do you otherwise have time for that?
I think so. Wikipedia:

As a normal human digestive tract does not contain any anti-oligosaccharide enzymes, consumed oligosaccharides are typically digested by bacteria in the large intestine. This digestion process produces gases such as methane as a byproduct, which are then released as flatulence.

Processing the beans, such as by boiling, soaking, cooking, can leach the indigestible sugars from the beans and significantly reduce, if not entirely eliminate the problem.

Also, red beans contain 3x as much of the foul stuff.

I try to tell myself that comments like GP's come from a place of taking one's health for granted, and have only experienced sickness from eating junk food or not sleeping enough.

I have a genetic disorder that makes me fragile, chronically ill, and limits my mobility. I do PT every day for 30-45 minutes - I've never missed a day since September. I eat healthy vegan food and sleep as much as I can (though painsomnia makes this hard.)

I'm doing all the right things, but I'm still sick. If I didn't do the right things, I'd be sicker. I'm still quite limited, and have to carefully plan things that my able-bodied friends take for granted. That's spoon theory.

I think this model (an integrated team) is what I see, there is a huge benefit in terms of short decision loops from having one team - but data engineering skills are really important in enabling it. Also if the people doing the data engineering are close to the data science then there's much more likelihood that they will produce effective solutions for the backend of the project.

Uniform distance matters little for a conductor. Performers watch visual cues from him and speed of light is very fast (unlike sound).

If you are 100 meters away, you have delay of about a third of a second if you use sound, but for light it will be a fraction of a millisecond.

Not being able to get alignment is a valid reason to question "could".

Hi! Larry, Founder of New Internet Labs, building in the Stacks ecosystem here.

Your understanding of smart contracts is correct - whenever smart contracts deal with stuff in the physical world you need to have an oracle.

In my experience over past half decade, there's been a lot of misleading information spread by people about smart contracts with schemes like claim to be a good use for smart contracts that suffer from oracle problems. A lot of this has come from naive people that just didn't other stand, but some has been spread by people looking to make others part with their money.

The way I think about smart contracts, is that if you need to trust someone in the real-world, by default you probably don't want or need a smart contract.

That said, there are a subset of such instances where smart contracts that depend on trust in real world entities have proven to be very useful. Wrapped tokens and stablecoins are an example of this - Tether being the most famous.

Me and a friend are working on a skincare routine assistant app called Bomi. We launched the mvp a month ago.

With Bomi you can create an unlimited number of routines and you are notified when you need to apply them, you can track the products on your virtual shelf (when you opened them, you are notified near the expiration date), you can browse a database of products and you can add products to your wishlist so as not to save information all over your phone.
We also want to add a statistics module in which you can view the progress that your skin has made lately.

I'm working on bringing the "pay as you go" model to game server hosting, starting with Factorio.

Most game server hosts require you to pre-commit to 1/3/5/etc days of hosting and limit the number of "slots" for people to play. I think these are completely arbitrary limitations as a result of them needing to justify the cost of the server in the rack.

If you pre-pay for 72 hours straight, plausibly you're going to be asleep and working/learning for 2/3rd of that time, which is all wasted time that you paid for.

My aim is to enable a player to buy X credits and pay by the hour. Parent gamer who only gets an hour of play in the evenings and a few in the weekend? Price conscious student who still wants a high quality MP server to play with friends? You get a lot more value for your €$5 this way.

My email is in my profile if anyone is interested in trying it out once I release the alpha version.
