Coinbase No Longer Negotiates Salary and Equity
I understand that, but the headline specifically states that the comparison was being made in relation to currency in circulation, so I was wondering what was "ultra misleading" about it.
Honestly, I’ll take designers thinking about the well-being of their users, even if it comes across as condescending. The common alternative is to wring as much attention out of the user as possible, pushing their buttons so they keep using the app until every last drop of dopamine has been exploited.
>It's a misconception that people are going to get confused by PSD2. We in Europe, depending on the bank, have had it for two years now. We got used to it and if we really want to pay, we will.

When a (random) app opens a bank login page for me and asks me to type in my back login information in a third party app, then that very much does confuse me. That's one of the ways people get scammed through phishing attacks. And now this is effectively mandated by law.

I've definitely chosen not to pay for a few things, because I didn't trust the app enough with my bank's login information. With a credit card I could easily dispute false charges. With bank authentication, I doubt it'll be as easy.
To be more clear, installing it and getting logs into the system is a piece of cake, getting useful information beyond the basics is more complicated and in my experience not as straight forward as elk stack. Kind of the exact opposite of elk in fact
I haven't watched Sesame Street for like thirty years, but my memory of it was that every episode had both new segments and best of segments.

> But soon after I discovered /proc/version, back in 1996, I realized that uname had no value.

Wow, decades of experience in being a dolt?

uname is in POSIX. It works all over the place. It's based on the uname library function, also standard.

M1 Mac:

kaz@minimac ~ % uname -a
Darwin minimac 20.3.0 Darwin Kernel Version 20.3.0: Thu Jan 21 00:06:51 PST 2021; root:xnu-7195.81.3~1/RELEASE_ARM64_T8101 arm64
kaz@minimac ~ % uname -m
arm64
kaz@minimac ~ % cat /proc/version
cat: /proc/version: No such file or directory

arch is useless only because it's not in POSIX; scripts should probably be using uname -m when they want arch.

Them -m option is very useful, because if you are after "arm64" there is no way you should be writing shell script code to extract it out of the "uname -a" or /proc/version output.

/proc/version could deceive you, even if you're on Linux. Suppose you're in a chrooted cross-compilation environment, like an ARM QEMU environment on an Intel x86_64 machine. In that sandbox, you want *uname -m" to report arm, not Intel.

But if you mount the /proc filesystem into it, I think it will be the host one kernel one with no translation for /proc/version or other telltale entries.

A script that accesses /proc/version could be hostile to cross-compiling in an emulated chroot.

That's just something that occurs to be due to stuff I have learned since 1996.

Now let's talk bc: one reason that is useful because it has bignum arithmetic. And it is specified by POSIX, which spells out this feature in the very name:

bc - arbitrary-precision arithmetic language

Let's see:

bc 1.07.1
Copyright 1991-1994, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2012-2017 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

81299763336706183397376

Shell arithmetic cannot do it. Here is bash:

$ echo $((2 ** 3))
8
$ echo $((2 ** 300))
0

GNU Awk can do it today, if its compiled with GNU GMP, and invoked with the -M option. POSIX requires no such thing from awk.

When I was taking a number theory course in 1994, I used bc for some of the studying and homework due to the bignum
support. Today I'd use Lisp; but that's not a commonly installed utility you can count on to be there in a random Unix-like system.

bc doesn't do rational numbers, but it does scaled arithmetic. This is useful for money.

scale = 2
1.13 + 1.14 + 3.19
5.46
5.46 * 1.12
6.11

It can work in bases other than decimal and has a separate input/processing base (ibase register) and output base.

Okay most of the replies I see in here claim here that 150k is a luxurious living are assuming a lot. First and foremost, most these 150k game dev jobs are near big cities, the remote ones at least pre covid never paid that much.

Second, yes after taxes your take home pay per month is ~8k, and a little more if you have dependents. But here's a couple of things to put into perspective:

1. It's not a lot of money if that's your household income and you have kids. Buying a house is nearly impossible with that salary and the average rent for a two bedroom apartment goes 3.5k which also includes a significant commute. Houses are even more expensive to rent. You can definitely get cheaper deals, there's no shortage of shitty housing in California. There's also rent control deals if you never moved out of a house for a decade.

2. A decent employer sponsored health insurance costs about 350 a month for the family.

3. Car payments and insurance on an average are about 400 per month.

4. you put about 500 per month to 401k if you want any decent future savings.

5. Utilities (Internet, water, electricity, gas) comes to about 300 per month

6. That leaves you about 3000 for groceries, gas, medical expenses, school related expenses, recreation, clothing, and bunch of other expenses for say a family of 3-4. That's not a lot of money tbh if you want to save anything at all.

Sure 150k is a great salary if you're fresh out of college and share an apartment with other people. But 150k isn't a starting game dev salary. And it isn't a remote part of CA salary either. This is a salary paid in big cities that are too freakin expensive to stay in.

PS: most of these estimates are conservative, it can easily exceed the cost. For eg, we only have one internet service provider in our area. And if you want the worst plan with bad speed and data caps, you still shell out 80$/month after they finish adding all the bs fees.

Amazon verifies it’s eliminating for sale NAC supplements
I've recently heard a few parents talking about getting their kids these shots. So I decided to take a look at the CDC numbers again. There's a graph where you can select death counts per age group:

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm#Se...

Given that death rates for the elderly are in the thousands per week, while those for kids jump around two to four or so, is this a good idea? Typically you want the benefits of a vaccine to outweigh the risks. I certainly could be missing something, but it doesn't look like this is the case for healthy kids.
That's why I said for Linux. Journald does not really have a database as such - it has index + sequential logs data. You can run the data through strings (unless you enabled compression) to get your data in emergency. You'd lose as much data from plaintext log corruption.
On the contrary, even with primary sources, there's almost no event that can't have its narrative completely turned around by additional context. In particular, such a primary source is almost always an anecdote rather than data. Data always introduces a possibility for bias. Truth is hard. There are no shortcuts

That's surprising; I subscribed to Asimov's for about 6 months back in 2015 and based on what I was reading, I assumed they must be publishing everything that comes in the door.
They make their money on packages too, and that has been strong, up and to the right for a long time.

The difference in quality of service pre-dejoy and post was pretty clear? And they’ve been break even or profitable pretty much every year.

I’d consider that artificially hamstrung, since it isn’t the market doing that.
That's nice of you to decide for the would-be buyers that they didn't need the stuff they wanted to buy. Do you offer this as a service?

Apparently the DVLA got this memo. They've disabled all their web forms outside of working hours.
Please read more carefully. I quote myself:

"They provided a mechanism, which the article notes is somewhat suspect in its underlying effect, for owners to identify their property"

This is clearly referring to the text you quote. I assume readers have read the actual article.

So, since I clearly included reference to the information you are incensed about, who is it that is doing a dishonest reading here? You have misleadingly claimed I didn't include the reference.
I would need to see some evidence that it's worth the downsides, before I could support something like this.
Well, the big question is what is a safer alternative? Keeping the stuff at home in a safe is at risk from burglars.

Nope, with FileSystemWatcher (and the Windows APIs it uses under the hood) you get minimal information - only using a driver can you get contextual information, such as the handle of the thread, process and user that made the call.

And RegNotifyChangeKeyValue is only useful for watching a single, specific value - if you monitor a tree, it doesn't even tell you what changed, only that something matching the filter did. And as with file system changes, if you want to know which thread/process/user made the change, you need to use a driver.

Follow me on a naive exercise here:
Zoom out from books only let's look at some media that are competing for people's attention in 2021.

(not exhaustive:)

- Video-games (including mobile)

- Social Media (fb, tiktok instagram etc)

- Video streaming services (youtube, netflix, etc)

- Music (single purchase and streaming)

- TV (yup still going)

- News (TV, and online mostly)

- books (print and ebooks)

Let's state that most of these industries have seen the amount of content published increase exponentially in the last 15 years.

Assuming that premise to be true is it really that much of a surprise that the average income of each content author is decreasing?

The only way that would be surprising is if the number of available attention hours was increasing at an even faster rate (which i guess would not be impossible if you could measure the masses of digital consumers who entered the "attention market" in that same time period).

My guess is that the scales tip a lot to the supply side though.
We simply have too much stuff being produced now and not enough people to consume it.

Then there is the fact that in the open publishing models we have now the market does get flooded with a lot of below par quality stuff.

The way we deal with it now is typically by some sort of popularity based algorithm that aggregates attention on a few winners and produce a huge long tail of "looser" content.

I don't know if i have the right "picture" here but it is certainly my gut feeling that there is too much stuff out there for it to retain the same value.

With the way it currently works people can just charge your credit card with the account number only, more or less (everything publicly printed on your credit card). So by default they can already take money from your account which is probably one of the main bad things that could happen anyways.
Sony 3.5” floppy disks used to be variable speed. I knew about that at the time I interviewed for a position as an intern at Imprimis in 1989, just before they got bought by Seagate. The guy I was interviewing with smiled smugly and said “we’ve got a better solution — we vary the speed at which we read and write data!”

As a result of that job, I ended up writing what I believe to be the first FAQ for hard drives and stiction — in 1989. I haven’t been able to find a copy of it, however.

Dunno if there would be any useful information in that FAQ for the OP, but it would be interesting to check it out and see. That is, if anyone can find a copy.
FakeSpot and ReviewMeta are up on different tabs every time I buy something new on Amazon, and they do a pretty good job of alerting you to scammy reviews without any internal Amazon info. I can’t imagine it’s not something an internal team could make a serious dent in.

I used to have a small YouTube channel. Still do, I guess, but don't update it.

One of my videos was very different than all my others and it did, for me, very well. This video earned something like 700k views compared to my average of high hundreds to low thousands.

Like this author, my video was something different than I usually did. Unlike this author my thought was "I've got to start making more content like that new thing!"

However, my approach kind of killed my channel. The reason my video did well turned out to be because a minor YouTuber (significantly more major than me) linked to it and almost all of the views came from him. He never linked to my other videos so when I made similar content it didn't do very well.

When I went back to making my old content that did worse than before too. My mental model was that I had alienated my original audience with the shift to the new kind of videos and then alienated my new audience with the return to the old kind of videos.

In the end, I felt that the random spike in views, and my poor handling of it, ruined my channel and reversed the modest momentum I had built over years. I used to have small but growing numbers of views and subscribers. After this incident I had declining numbers of both.
You might look to see to what extent the news sites of interest have an RSS feed--and then use an RSS newsreader.
Yeah. Nil.
Much faster, if you can leverage its strengths. It helps if you have a time column or monotonic increasing value like a serial column. But just using the table compression and columnar format can give a order of magnitude speedup on analytics queries (because you load and scan less bytes.)
> Today—because we are all so intensely culturally obsessed with financial success—"being a writer" means writing stuff right now and doing it well enough to make a living off of.

This is something I've thought about a lot lately. It seems like if you show any hint of artistic talent or skill in some craft, everyone around you starts encouraging you to monetize it. You draw so well, you should have a patreon. You made some nice soap, you should sell that at the farmer's market. You picked up enough leatherworking to make a wallet, when are you opening the etsy store? I don't think that's right.

Hi there! I also set my laptop and wristwatch time to UTC. I wonder how many people actually do this.
I was curious about the actual performance difference and I don't know what the big name benchmarks are, but a quick Google search showed the centurion benchmark [1] which puts the A14 just 5% ahead of the newest Exynos and Snapdragons. That's not too big of a lead? Last years benchmark against the A13 showed a much bigger gap tho.

1. There was no similar ARM core until recently.

2. Samsung/Qualcomm/etc have lower prices and lower margins than Apple so they can't afford to make chips that are as big as Apple Silicon. For example, the M1 has four big cores but competitors use one big core and three medium.
It depends heavily on the genre, at least for me. So-called genre fiction--mysteries, sci-fi, fantasy, that sort of thing--really doesn't hold up to rereading, since the whole draw is, by and large, the setting and the plot. I still remember the solution at the end of Murder on the Orient Express, and I still know how Liu Cixin's theory of galactic civilizations is going to play out in the Three Body Problem, so there's not really a draw to reread those books: the language is serviceable but not exciting (at least in the translated TBP), there's no real symbolism/inter-textuality to dig into on further readings, &c. However, I still find myself rereading favorites like Gravity's Rainbow and Moby Dick every few years: the jokes are still funny, the language is still beautiful, and it's still enjoyable to ponder the references and metaphors the authors are (possibly) building.

Your comparison to television is a pretty good one, honestly. I've never really rewatched an episode of a serial television series (other than trying to refresh my memory when picking up a new season), since there usually isn't any substance there beyond the plot and characters, but I'll happily rewatch movies if the directing, cinematography, and/or acting are compelling enough.
Also: composability and reusability.
I would love to be wrong, but I think the vast majority of people with vaccine hesitancy will feel no different once non-emergency authorization is granted

I also don't totally agree that it's rational to hold out on vaccination due to blood clot concerns. From the stats I've seen, (even for young people) death from post-vax blood clots seems to be rarer than death from COVID. Although I suppose there's an element of "if everyone else gets vaccinated, maybe I don't need to". It would be ironic if that attitude means that, instead of being eradicated, COVID will be floating around for decades until those now young people become at-risk due to age.
If I were cynical I would say that the purpose of 3DS is to make it easier to scam people. It trains users to input their bank login details into third party apps and websites - something that you were told not to do over and over again in the past. I'm also sure that banks will be far less happy to refund fraudulent charges in these cases.
I think that was the point

I work in a AAA game company, and see similar to GPs comments. I guess the reason is that so many people also leave the games industry early on (relative to career span). From my experience (In in the programming dpt, at-least), lots of devs just aren't good enough, or want to improve enough to become senior devs.
And it's not even if you have a PE (Professional Engineering) license.

For example, all the VLSI designs I've worked on had "design reviews". Always.

Pretty much every single native English speaker agrees that the Latin alphabet is an inadequate alphabet and that it's unreasonable to force others to learn English, but for some reason programmers act like a bunch of monks defending the Vulgate Bible any time you ask them to make functioning software that supports their own fricken language.

Buying real estate for short-term or long-term rentals is buying yourself a second job.

If you want something more passive, consider investing in several different real estate syndications. You can find them on CrowdStreet or FundRise although I believe you will get into better deals if you join a local investor group and learn from the experienced members. If there isn't a group near you, I'm enjoying participating in www.506investorgroup.com

This style is probably only practical if you already have a net worth of at least $1m. The best book I've found is Investing in Real Estate Private Equity by Sean Cook.

I think it is reasonable to expect a diversified portfolio of real estate syndications to return 10-15% annually although it will be bumpy and your money will be locked up for years.
