Sorry, but as someone who doesn't live in the USA, I have a hard time feeling bad for someone for not being able to earn "$11,000 per month as a baseline salary for working full-time on open source."

Sure, it's nice to be able to make a living from open source based on donations. That doesn't have to be comparable to Silicon Valley salaries that are fueled by huge ad money and other dubious sources. I know many people here are from Silicon Valley so they might even think it's a low salary, but I'd ask you guys to get some perspective.

If I know my donation would be used to fund someone's (in my eyes) incredibly high salary, I'd prefer spending it on somewhere where it would have more impact. You know, people who are actually struggling to make ends meet.

Many writings from the ancient world survive only because of quotes in other books. It's likely that works that were heavily quoted were among the best.

But of course, that doesn't preclude the fact that there may have been much better works that didn't make it to us.
It will incentivize others paying the ransom if the consequences are dire enough. Remember the after-ambush interrogation in the film Inglorious Basterds.

I wouldn't disambiguate AWS (should be pretty obvious what it is to people reading the resume), but if you feel it's needed, you can do it only once in the document.

Otherwise a very clean, short resume - I would say in the 80th percentile :-)
Since around 1975-80, when software makers stop'd giving you the source-code with the license to use it, and just gave you the compiled unchangeable product?

Not is it just acceptable, it's your obligation to tell peoples what the downside (or upside) of closed down software is. Is a closed source webserver a good idea? probably not. Is THE closed source Photo-editing program a good idea? Probably yes....if you really need it.
For titles, shorter is typically better. In this case, it's nowhere near the character count limit for HN, but limits of that sort are another good reason to err on the side of "shorter is better."

But it boils down to cognitive load. Attention spans are limited and it's a busy world full of distractions. You need to grab someone's attention with the least burden on their limited resources -- mental bandwidth, attention, time, etc -- and get them to click.

A good title can be the difference between a successful article and a flop and titles are hard.
> While I wouldn't disqualify a candidate for not having a cover letter, I would wonder why they wouldn't use this tool that increases their chances of getting hired.

The answer was in my original comment: It's expensive to write one, and while you may read cover letters, you are in a minority, and a job applicant has no way of telling which camp you're in.

Also, I'd like to ask: How often do you disqualify a candidate based on their cover letter? If you do, given that you don't disqualify for not having one, wouldn't you agree that those you disqualified after reading their cover letter put themselves at a disadvantage by writing one?
What have you tried it on? Mine works extremely fast when it's _in_ something that it can read (like meat, or hot oil), but the Thermapen doesn't work for air temperature (not enough heat conduction, I would guess).

I also have a ThemoWorks/ETI ChefAlarm, and the difference in read time between the two are very apparent.
Not only that, but if you re-apply again to the same 20 places, the 2 that call you will likely be different than the previous 2 because a different person looked at your resume this time.
Welcome to capitalism for some areas the rate for the job is $200.

Some youtubers really take off with random flukes like that, or doing something silly. One guy we used to watch did that, Charles Cornell, jazz musician did some doodling and whatnot on youtube until one day as a joke he put piano to a random youtube meme. That one was picked up by the internet and took off, so he made a couple more, his channel exploded in subscribers and engagement in a short amount of time. He doesn't do the memes anymore, he's got himself a nice new studio (house?) probably off his overnight success and is doing some lessons and, ugh, reactions, and we've mostly lost interest but it was still interesting to see one of the millions of small but hopeful youtube channels suddenly make it big.
There are several laws already on the books which address this – various international sanctions (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-treasury-cyber/companies-...), anti-terrorism laws (can't pay ransom to a known terrorist group), anti-money laundering laws and more. There is nothing stopping the government from enacting more.
I don’t agree with that, it lingered for me for at least six months. Don’t own a tv and block most soc media.
You can't really test these things for long term side-effects/damage.
Pretty legitimate concern in my book.

Short term side-effects and effectivenes and such are pretty well known by this point
Perhaps the question is why the Bay Area is the golden standard here? Half the salary would make you top 10% earners in almost all other places in the world, but because the salary is paid at SF levels all the "poorer" users have to step up and match the SF expectation? I couldn't find where Henry lives, but this setup allows him to go live anywhere he wants.

I'm also unconvinced by the "most popular tool" argument. Sure a huge amount of people make use of babel, but it's only a (very) small part of the complete tech stack an average company would need. I.e. database, frameworks, other programming languages, nodejs, deployment and management tools, the underlying OS; there are dozens of dependencies that are critical nowadays, all which need to share the available donation pool.
Taiwan. The minimum wage here is about 24000 TWD ≒ 860 USD.

Kidnap/ransom only really exists in countries with poor or corrupt governance.

It's a solved thing in the West for example, because the criminals know they will not get away with it. It's easier to get away with murder, because it doesn't create such social commotion, which in turn bring in the government focus.
Proud patron of Wildbow here, I admire his work ethic so much, he has been writing 10000+ words per week for at least 7(?) years without interruption and the stuff is high quality too, great world building all around.

https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/about/ is what he has been writing for the past year and I still look forward to the chapters on Tuesday and Saturday every week. There is also a whole community of readers who gathers in the comments section or the subreddit to theorize and speculate, it is a lot of fun.
I do need to block on calls. I also need the process and user that made the change, and ETW doesn't provide those (to get them myself would require blocking).

Just yesterday I came across an old card with "Events from 1971" on it, one of which was "Sesame Street banned by the BBC". It seems that, in the UK, the BBC really didn't like it to a surprising degree - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sesame_Street_in_the_United_Ki...
I hope that with genetic engineering techniques we will be able to reintroduce more species of cats.
Evidence? Specifically? OK I will try.

A list of the variants and their DNA code? Or whatever makes them vary.

A solid explanation of how these variants are more infectious, not just saying that "The numbers show it" but instead what is the real world physical change in the shape or attack vector that makes them more dangerous, or admiting it is unknown but being studied.

True numbers of deaths caused by covid and vaccines, you can't have it both ways and say "They tested positive for the virus and died so it was covid" then at the same time say "yes they got the vaccine but people die all the time, it wasn't nessisarly the vaccine."

A genuine record of which vaccines the well to do have recieved. Eg: Celebrities, Politicians, Billionaires. I suspect there are a lot more Pfizer going in their arms but they are telling the rest of us to take what we can get.

Maybe drop the racist, sexist, political anti white, anti male, anti Trump bullshit for a while in the media, because fighting the pandemic is just so much more critical right now. Instead of being opportunistic assholes and pushing those adgendas while everyone is scared, locked down and having their loved ones die alone?

IDK there is more, like the stuff comming out about Faucci signing off on funding banned research in Wuhan or the 2015 chinese report on weaponizing coronavirii but I think the first couple items on my list would go a long way. And before I catch a bunch more hate Ill leave it there.

Deaths are a proxy for the total impact, which is incredibly low for healthy kids.
It does modify behavior though: I am more likely to engage in risky activities like heavy drinking and overeating if I know a replacement organ (like a liver) is readily available thanks to the wisdom of the government.
Being good at writing servicable prose and story. Writing for a genre that has an online following (litrpg isekai in this case). Consistent output (e.g. twice per week -- in this case it is kind of insane: a novella per week). Then post it to sites where the readers for that niche are (e.g. royalroad.com , topwebfiction.com).

If we started pursuing nuclear pulse propulsion we could have our first probe arrive in the next star system in a hundred years or so, and eventually get the travel time closer to 40 years.
132k is not that much for a US salary. And besides, I'd rather see the engineers of such an important project be well paid.

So that we compare like for like, I’m assuming you paid $60 pretax. £55 is $77.65 at present, which seems in line with paying $60 on sale.
If the ransomware operators follow best practices, their C2 is in those backups too. The data's not encrypted, but without good IT, not for long.

Maybe go two weeks' back and you'll get a clean instance, but that's two weeks' data loss, I've seen (non-tech) institutions hit where an hour of data loss is worth paying a ransom for.

Process Monitor is a great utility, but I need programmatic access to this information.

SysMon is a great tool, but the license prevents distribution (such as bundling with an installer) - users must download it from Microsoft.

No matter the cause of this accident or previous ones, Tesla's response highlights why I'll never buy one of their cars. When an accident occurs, the response by Tesla should be nothing more than "we will provide any and all data we have concerning this incident to the appropriate authorities when we receive a valid request for that information."

Musk tweeting about whether or not the driver purchased certain features is insane. He shouldn't have access to that data, let alone be allowed to publicize the information.
A lead developper would realistically pull 75K euros a year. Rarely more.
It is maybe for you but not everywhere, i can see it being referred to as Biontech just as often, if not oftener than Pfizer. Maybe because Germany is our neighboor, but maybe also because it is "more right"
There's a really good joke about Ferengi political situations here, but I'm no economist.
Nightmare is bit of an overreaction. It's just a single command at the end signifying "Ok, done for now". It's not forced on users, the system works just fine if you don't do this. It just works better if you do let the system know when is a good time to perform maintenance tasks and collect statistics.
I don't see how taxes were lower in the UK to be honest.
I do not see how will this help, it will create opinionated groups that are close to different views. So, each time someone expresses his view, the entire group can act against that person, which is exactly what happens today on the twitter, if you express unpopular view about let say "gender" topic, there will be entire cohort of hate tweets...
It seems like many other ideas, this was well intended, but devs have not considered many negative type of misuse and exploits...

Fischer-Tropsh (creating synthetic analogues of petrol, kerosene/jet fuel, or diesel), or Sabatier process (creating alcohol) are two options.

Yes, it's a net energy sink. You're trading cheap surplus electricity for high-density, long-term storable, stable, dispatchable thermal fuel.
Usually the product of a team of 4 is not that well known nor successful. And you can't really compare the average developer with the three developers mentioned since they are clearly outstanding and could get hired by almost any company.
If it is written by the author of the bot it is per definition advertising. Might be interesting but the title is still misleading.
$132k/year is the going rate for pretty much anyone with 5+ years experience in California for a non-FAANG job. That's even if you're not amazing. In LA I've gotten offers for $150k when doing job interviews. This is at no name companies. That's not including health insurance and other benefits (e.g. the absolute basics like a company laptop.) I haven't interviewed in a year but I doubt this range has decreased.

That's pretty high compared to "average" for the rest of the world yes, but you can get that or more if you have a strong referral with the hiring manager, even in a lower cost of living area. Strong referrals are the key to getting this kind of money outside of California and outside of a FAANG offer.
Team of 4 of an unknown startup, yeah that'd be around $5k after taxes, health and social insurance and 5 weeks of vacation. Team of 4 of product like Babel, your doubts are misplaced.

And you're forgetting equity.
Interesting list. When doing genealogy, I have sometimes wondered what terms on ancestors' death certificates equated to in modern parlance.

One or two odd ones in that list though. Especially considering they've supposedly appeared as causes on a death certificate.

For example: Scrivener's palsy - Writer's cramp

Thank you for throwing away my resume based on a minor grammatical mistake. I have no interest of working for a team whose supervisor is actively avoiding people whose first language is not English. I would rather work with skilled people regardless of their country of origin.

I remember one about "The Seventh Seal" where a character is looking for his pet seal and counting. I don't imagine many of the target audience would get the Ingmar Bergman reference but respect to the show's creators for putting it in anyway!
Senior devs (not lead) in Prague can earn $100k a year plus vacation, health insurance, etc.
This is not about donations to help someone make ends meet, it's about donations to maintain a very important library.

The people who are maintaining the library can probably command far more than $11k/mo. If their salary isn't high enough, it doesn't make financial sense to work on the library instead of taking a high paying job.
As a European I am not keen on the European model. Everything just stops. You can't get anything done. We should have SLA's for critical and/or important services. For example one time I wanted to change the use of a commercial premises and was told to come back in 6 months because the person who takes care of that was on extended leave. IMO this is inexcusable and reflects poorly on Europeans and their values. This attitude problem extends way beyond holidays too. It's a miracle if you find a customer service rep that wants to help you solve your problem. The amount of times I've been fobbed off to go talk to someone else when calling customer support is worrying. As labour protections are so strong no one loses their job over non-performance. We're only hurting ourselves in the long run. This decay is hard to turn around. You need to holiday from something but based on my experience many people are not taking their jobs and role in society seriously enough to earn/need a break at all. I think there is a middle ground we should strive for.
I like how one user deleted his comment saying even in Ukraine or Georgia basic dev earns more than 10k USD/month

ARM chips are a nightmare enough for compatibility on phones and tablets, even devices several years old. I don't want to need custom patched Linux kernels just to boot my fucking laptop! Oh but I already know. That's deliberate. They're trying to prevent you from escaping their litterbox with a free OS. Because if you're trapped in the litterbox, all you have to eat are their tootsie rolls.
Government intervention is government intervention no matter the context: it seems a good idea at first but it always backfires.
Why should they make more than senior engineers with decades of experience in Berlin?

Why should customers/users of the project have to pay/donate twice or thrice as much for the same result, just because the devs want to live in the US instead of e.g. Paris?
I think that level is plausible but rare.
Why abandon Fortran for linear algebra?

>Babel used by millions, so why are we running out of money? Bluntly: Because funds were misallocated for years, and the project has been too slow to improve.

I successfully removed it years ago because Typescript replaced everything I was using Babel for, things even build way faster and I even got Intellisense autocompletion and refactoring as bonus.
This is the thing I don't think people get. They are treating these devs as though they are just run of the mill when it's highly likely they're very skilled.
A few years ago I was working as a video game programming teacher. My boss showed me a resume asking if I thought we should bring the guy in. His resume was a 8ish page affair in the Japanese style. I flipped through not that impressed, until in the middle of his resume somewhere he mentioned working on Japanese dating sim games with ridiculous names like “How to date a hot girl II”.

I figured we needed to interview him after that, if only to hear that story. Anyway, we ended up hiring him. Really nice guy - and his students adored him.

I’m not sure what the takeaway is. Maybe, just like a dating profile, don’t be afraid to be interesting in your resume. The point isn’t to get you hired. It’s to give whoever reads it reason enough to interview you.
I prefer to give people as much freedom as possible to manage their community. It would be interesting to know what will come of this. No censorship of moderators like Twitter
That's one of the reason I have not added Analytics to my website. I don't want to create my content based on how shareable it is. I want to create something that I consider to be of high quality. Surely at some point it will be shared for this reason.
As employees, maybe in the UK or Ireland. Most likely not in Germany, and never in any eastern European country.

As contractors, you could theoretically in any country, the more eastern, the more luck you need to have, but it's doable.

I work for a startup that benefits from open source.

I can and do make the case for spending a lot of money on SaaS products and hiring people. But there is no way in the world I can stand in front of company leadership and ask for money to spend on something that I already get for free. I'd look out of touch with the realities of running a business and the request would be roundly shouted down.

If there's some value I can get then it's a much easier sell. For example, if there is a Babel job board then I can choose to use that over alternatives when I next hire. Jed Watson proposed https://budgetforopensource.org/, which puts this type of thing in the employee perk category so that I can justify it using hiring as a goal. These are things where I can make a business case for spending real dollars, rather than a philosophical argument.
No it doesn't. For e.g. how many stupid CI pipelines are set up to download it on every run? You could easily be 2 or 3 orders of magnitude out on actual number of direct users.
But they re like Fosun, one of several. Ofc it s amazing how Fosun managed to vaccinate a million of us in Hong Kong, shipping ultra cold vaccines from Germany and setting up factories soon in Singapore. But man, the vaccine is made by Biontech and without them fosun would be shipping nothing at all.

As for Pfizer, they do nothing at all for me in Hong Kong, see ?
Other comments are right, $11k a month is a very high engineering salary anywhere in Europe.

However, during the last year there's been more and more american companies that offer these kind of rates remotely. So, a good developer could make this, and even more, while living in Europe, although you might have not consider him "working" here (whatever this means in terms of remote work anyway).
