But what is the operating cost vs income?

I like rail service and wish we had better. But right now there’s this political albatross in the US that rail is a slow, inefficient, money pit. That argument has some weight when you look at those super long distance lines. But when you exclude them and focus on the northeast corridor where Amtrak has good quality of service, the argument falls apart.

To me, the long game for the US to have better rail service means focusing on delivering excellent service quality in the places where they can to get some wins. Then expand service as they can while maintaining quality.

Sprinkling “a little rail” broadly across the country costs a lot more money and delivers far lower quality service. We only do it because of the need to get the senators from rural states to support our federal rail program.
You can just ignore the question and answer "I'd be looking for a TC of x". See what they say. Make sure to add 20% to the TC because they didn't answer the question
I also don't know the theory but I'd guess part of it is that it increases loyalty? I know if I got an offer that was substantially higher than expected I'd be much more likely to think that the company valued me specifically/thought I was special, even if they paid everyone else the same.
On a sidenote, many speakers of English probably are unfamiliar with the pronunciation of Dutch knakken or German Knacker (ˈknakɐ, you can listen to Google Translate's rather mediocre rendition[1]). Kn in word-initial position is fairly common, and the k is not silent in these languages, nor is there an aspiration between k and n.

It is, I believe, the second longest passenger train in Europe. (The longest is a similar Nice–Moscow service.)

But both are weekly services, and even Nice–Moscow (yet alone intermediate stops) has more capacity most days by plane than the once-a-week train.
Apples legal team have obviously lost the forest for the trees. In fact, i imagine some high up execs are tearing out their hair.
Needing to have a legitimate purpose / justified reason is a higher bar than "not swinging at people". It means if you're a gardener going to work cutting down bushes it's ok to carry a machete, but if you're just an ass carrying a katana in your back just for the looks, "but I wasn't swinging it at anyone" won't get you out of jail

Yup. By keeping salaries secret it’s how companies create inefficient markets to screw over candidates from making true market rates.
I doubt "googlability" is a factor in decisions about redacting PII like that. They probably have a blanket rule to redact private information like dates of birth, SSNs, etc., at least for living people.
Hot Take: Just pirate everything and be done with it.

The content mafia didn't get it with music, until perhaps spotify for a while and now thats beeing split apart again aswell, they don't get it for tv shows and movies either.
> on interviews they want you to explicitly construct the array very often i.e. it's the different between hire and a strong hire exactly because @lru_cache is much easier

are you serious? someone really asked you to "use array". Beyond stupid if they really did.

> you can easily blow the stack for real production grade implementations using recursion

recursive solution doesn't automatically mean using a the method stack. you can implement recursive solutions using explicit stack .

> dynamic programming proper

please. There is no "proper" dynamic programming. Please watch this MIT intro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQ5jsbhAv_M .
That would defeat the entire purpose: they need to be six parameters to ensure that they are all in registers.

However I was considering whether they could be a struct with six members passed by value. If the ABI would pass that in six registers we could get rid of the #defines, which I agree would be nicer.

> If you were optimizing for minimum travel time, you'd probably fly. If you were optimizing for cost, you'd probably drive. But if you want a nice journey, the train is fantastic and faster than driving if you're going to stop.

Train fans vastly overestimate the number of people who will optimize for "sitting in a train and staring out the window for days".

Do things that don't matter.

I've been thinking about this recently and realized that my brain is capable of drawing an incorrect conclusion about the "mattering-ness" of something based on limited data, typically a feeling arising from personal values.

The thing is, everything we do does matter, and it's one of the reasons why the Bible instructs us to "walk by faith, not by sight". On the cosmic scale of things, we don't have all the information to truly calculate whether something does (or does not) matter. In that regard, choosing to live as if what we do always matters seems like the preferred and life-giving approach.
Elon Musk in 2020, “I remain confident that we will have the basic functionality for level 5 autonomy complete this year.”

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-tesla-autonomous-idUSKBN2...

And please don’t reply with “well he didn’t literally say, ‘we have the software.’”

It is extremely clear that Tesla is either intentionally lying about their self-driving capability or have lied to themselves to the extent that they actually believe their own bullshit.
To your 3rd point:

First off, the bigger tech companies are already known for having much higher salaries/compensation, hence the whole FAANG goal that many applicants aim for.

Generally, people have an incentive to pick a startup vs a big tech company for several reasons, such as preferring the startup work environment, the fact that their equity has the potential to grow in value much faster than equity at an established tech company, etc.

On top of all that, even with big tech paying the biggest salaries and attracting talent, they still have a finite number of positions. All the applicants who aren't FAANG level will go to work for those other companies that don't pay as high.

Adding transparency to job posting salaries is a net benefit.
A very interesting trick! In my opinion, the big takeaway here is that if you are willing to write your C code in tail call style, you can get a lot of control over which variables are stored in machine registers. In the x86-64 ABI, the first 6 function parameters are guaranteed to be passed via registers.

Obviously, this is architecture-specific. Other architectures may use a different calling convention that ruins this kind of manual register allocation. I'd imagine that it would be bad for performance in 32-bit systems, where function arguments are passed via the stack.

--------

> I think it’s likely that all of the major language interpreters written in C (Python, Ruby, PHP, Lua, etc.) could get significant performance benefits by adopting this technique.

I know that at least Lua and Python use "computed gotos" in their inner loops, which also helps the compiler generate better code. The architecture-dependent nature of the tail-call trick could be a problem here. Some of these interpreters also need to work well on 32-bit systems.
I'm questioning this oft-cited version of reality. I don't know a single person that thinks autopilot means pilots don't need to be in airplanes, and consequently that autopilot means you don't need drivers in the driver's seat.

Of course people recognize that they can get around Tesla's precautions and have nobody in the driver's seat, just like pilots could all leave the cockpit while the 737 is in flight and go get wasted at the minibar or whatever. But they don't and neither should drivers, and Tesla isn't suggesting that driver's should – in fact they've put technological precautions in place that airplanes with autopilot don't even use to ensure someone is at the stick.

You can also run over pedestrians with [insert car here], but nobody is suggesting you do it. People doing it anyway is not [insert car manufacturer here]'s fault.
You’re not going to get much argument from me about how private industry exploits under-the-table labor. Doesn’t mean it’s a good thing when done under government aegis
This reminds me an old video by Scott Manley of an abort procedure of the Space Shuttle that never was tried in real life. (He used a model in the Kerbal Space Program.) "Space Shuttle RTLS Abort Challenge - Without The Manual" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iwn3kk-q1YU
Get tested for ADHD if you haven't already. Most people think ADHD means hyperactive children but its more an attention disorder where it can be very difficult to get things done if they don't actually interest you or there aren't severe consequences like failing a subject. I've felt the same as you, and it was a 'wow' moment when I started reading about ADHD and people's experiences who were diagnosed as adults.

If you have ADHD there is a rich set of literature on managing it, supplements to investigate (lots of discussions in the nootropic community) and the meds can be a life changing tool when used responsibly.
By the way, you have a large number of bugs here if you're trying to solve the famous real-world problem. What about 3 or 5 or 9?
I think the apology comes across as insincere because they don't just stop with apologizing but go on attempting to justify their actions and already look beyond the issue at hand.

First, you just apologize for what you did and that's that. Ball is in the other side of the court.

What is suggested in the article will never fly with the capitalism crowd (USA). It is too easy to point at it and say "equality of outcome".

A supermarket chain is not a public authority. This prevents governments from creating systems to evaluate the trustworthiness of people, not private businesses.
There seems to be a non-negligable portion of Apple users that are users because of what it doesn't enable one to do as much as what a device does enable. It's something I've noticed in these kinds of threads; people that value the hardware because it's guaranteed to focus on how they would use it, people that value the singular app store because they would see their purchase devalued if others had the option even if they wouldn't use it, people that want simplicity over options on each device.

I'm not arguing one way or the other, though my stance is more similar to yours, but simply saying "well don't use it and let others have the option" isn't providing fresh realization that will change their minds as that's not what they are hung up on. Their value in investment into the ecosystem isn't perceived just on what the device can do for them rather what one can't do as well.
Well the problem with “data science” is that it costs a shit ton of money but rarely integrates into anything. A book about wiring data science models into real user facing application maybe isn’t data science, but sure is useful...

Without transparency in salary ranges it will be very difficult to close the gap between white men and everyone else. It evens the field in negotiations and allows people who typically would not negotiate the ability to do so. Of course the downside would be the employer knowing your salary where you last worked, but that is often requested anyhow in my experience.
The measures she proposes would likely raise wages for everyone, especially women, because the employer’s chief advantage in salary negotiations is information asymmetry. They know what their budget is and want to go even further to have you tell them what you’ll accept (happily pocketing the difference if that was less than they would have paid). They also have a much better understanding of the market and comfort negotiating since they are doing this a lot more than you are.

I also think that helping women negotiate is more complicated than just teaching them techniques, because people will not necessarily react the same way to the same behavior from men as from women.
maybe to let ppl know it still exists lol
It seems to me that you’re arguing that advertising is misleading. In that case I totally agree with you and I would add that all advertising I see is misleading. I’ve personally learned to not trust marketing at face value and try to rely on facts as much as possible

I am someone who cycles through passions. I used to feel terrible that I wasn’t able to stick with anything. Now, I’ve come to terms with that being who I am. I’ll love something, drop it two weeks later, pick it back up 3 months from now. The way I look at it is it’s my leisure time, and I get really stuck/dissatisfied with life when I feel like my side hobbies are jobs that I should be doing. I am jealous of my friends who find something they enjoy then obsess over it. I just can’t do it. I’ll read 3/4 books at the same time.

I guess what I’m trying to say is, passion doesn’t have to be one note. Passion has ebbs and flows, but there is always something out there waiting for you.
As another primarly-iOS developer I agree. Xcode was better back when Interface Builder was separate (that merge never should've happened) but as a whole I don't find Xcode any more irritating than I find Android Studio (which has found some truly unique ways to be frustrating).

It will be interesting to see where things go in the coming years though, because between SwiftPM, SwiftUI, SourceKit, and the SourceKit LSP I think many of us may be shifting toward a workflow more centered around a light editor. A few days ago I was toying around with SourceKit LSP in Sublime Text 4 and it's surprisingly servicable - most of my projects have abandoned xibs/storyboards already so I could probably make that setup work if I put some time into getting Sublime's build system set up.

Hehe, I see what you did there. At least I think this is alluding to Einstein allegedly saying that „insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different outcomes“.
Yep, that's exactly the right takeaway. :) I have verified this on ARM64 also, but architectures that pass parameters on the stack will make this technique not really worth it.

Re: PHP, Ruby, etc. yes, computed gotos help some, but I think tail calls would help much more. That was our experience at least. I wrote more about this here: https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc/2021-April/235891.html

Yes, there are portability issues with the tail call approach, so there would need to be a fallback on non-x64/ARM64 platorms. This would add complexity. But it's exciting to think that it could unlock significant performance improvements.
Noise pollution is a big reason I prefer trains.
Most remote teams are well setup for async communication. If you have employees across a bunch of timezones it is a must.
For the same thing, I use https://zim-wiki.org and its built in slide exporter. This allows me to keep my content in the same "notebook" for a nice all-in-one experience. It uses the "S5" system, which, I don't know how well that's been maintained, but the CSS was easy enough to modify.
Though I will continue to claim that quotient types should belong in the list but aren't - even in Cubical Agda that problem's not really solved! If you don't have an easily-computed canonical form for your equivalence classes, you're doomed in almost any language.

Which has, in regular times, a weekly service by the Russian railways. And it passes through Belarus, and ends in Russia, countries for which you need visas and aren't necessarily the friendliest. If that service makes sense, Chicago-Seattle certainly could ( as an experience, cheap travel, etc.)
I think most of this demand is already covered by the popular Northeast Corridor. It should absolutely be upgraded, but outside of it, I think everything's either too small or too far to effectively compete with air travel.

The Space Shuttle was a vehicle designed to do many things, and in a deal with the US Military it was redesigned to make it able to perform a very specific secret mission. The redesign radically changed the Shuttle from the early concepts to the actual design which we saw fly, but, before the shuttle even flew the secret mission had been abandoned.

sure there is. this is less important to the university than it is to HN. probably it's been mentioned to the dean of engineering, but i doubt anyone above that knows or would care without half an hour of explanation.

and even the letter was heavily reviewed, the moral thing to do is to give a professor and two grad students leeway in interpretation of their english. (i'll grant that their past leeway in interpretation of their actions, but those aren't the same.)

that doesn't mean it can't be a bad apology, it doesn't mean you have to accept or like it. just, come on, find more substantial issues than their adjectival choices.
When I first saw this going around before seeing it on here, my first thought that it's still a bad take because how else are you form your inference without data collection? You're not just going to be given your conditional probability; you're almost certainly going to have to go out to collect the data to construct this (and the data collection being the regulatory item covered).

I think that the hot take machines that are twitter/online communities have a certain amount of mindrot where poorly researched topics make headline news concerns me (which tbf is in itself a hot take I suppose).
It is disappointing that such a seminal figure in physics and astronomy and who helped inspire generations of folks to science and to look at the stars was not above being a creep.

Or the checklist was tried and didn't work. It seems like the problem the OP faced was doctor after doctor just re-executing the same procedure to arrive at the same result as the previous doctor who failed to effectively treat the illness.
Shopping around addresses only a small part of the purpose of “call us” pricing. It’s not so much about hiding the price of a vendor relative to the competition, as it is about hiding the price offered to one customer relative to other customers. All vendors are incentivized to price discriminate, the better they can do so the better they will do in the marketplace. Importantly, there’s a set of skills and tactics a salesperson will bring to that call to strike a deal that leaves the least amount of money on the table. Eg, a good salesperson will listen to the customer’s needs and tell a compelling story tailored to those needs justifying the product’s price (not unlike a recruiter trying to close a candidate at a salary lower in the range, by talking up other ways the opportunity is a great fit for them).
If it’s the same role and they can do the role why would they get paid less?

Experience alone doesn’t mean much.
I wish tuples didn't exist in interfaces, unfortunately every function and method argument list is one. /s

I appreciate your point that people try and avoid tuples where not appropriate, but the question is why even have that opportunity, when we can nudge the community to use equivalent "named attribute tuples".

Regarding scale, FP scales great for certain types of problems. But it's not great at modeling or encouraging boundaries. Imagine doing FP where all your types cease to exist for part of your codebase, but also you need to interact with the code where the types are. Even more, imagine if those two modules may fail independently (i.e. so you lose one of them). Anyway I think I'm becoming too abstract.

Basically the FP world needs to be more like Erlang. Erlang is functional but keeps units bounded (in processes).
I think companies trail the market in a quickly rising market (like this one for SWEs) out of laziness and inertia (on both the company and employee side; employees don’t want to bother looking for a job if everything is otherwise good and the comp is “close enough”).
Thanks, I will try that - fearing my code is littered with Arc ;-) - but sarcasm aside, thanks.

This is nice until graphviz hits its size limits and the resulting output image is too pixelated to see all the details. Which can happen quite fast if you aren't careful about filtering the information.
Then a company should raise their upper bound to lower the risk of that happening.
