It was largely driven by Millenials, who wanted to work in cities whether they're founding or working for a startup. YCombinator (itself based in Mountain View) found that most of their startups preferred to locate in SF, oftentimes many of them in one building. At one point there was the "YScraper", the Crystal Tower building in North Beach that was home to Justin.TV (parent of Twitch/SocialCam/Cruise), Xobni, Weebly, and Scribd.

Also your list of South Bay startups is pretty incomplete - there's also WhatsApp (Mountain View), Box (Redwood City), Coursera (Mountain View), Khan Academy (Mountain View), Tesla (Palo Alto, with manufacturing in Fremont), the Signal Foundation (Mountain View), RobinHood (headquarters is Menlo Park, not SF), Zoom (San Jose), GoFundMe (Redwood City), Carbon3D (Redwood City), WealthFront (Palo Alto), Impossible Foods (Redwood City), Roblox (San Mateo), and GoPro (San Mateo). I do agree that the center of gravity of the valley moved northwards in the 2010s though. Prior to then, it was debatable whether SF was even really part of the valley, while since then it's been a major tech hotspot.
I like these names. Maybe it's a pain if you're using something like vim to program, but in a typical Java IDE or VSCode you'd just write CDL, ctrl+space, enter.
Indeed. At the time of privatisation, I commuted to Oxford from a small village that was 20 min train ride away. Privatisation encouraged me to make the switch to the 45 minute cycle ride, which I suppose was good for me. I do remember seeing the automated departures table being 80% filled with notices of cancelled services or trains that were over an hour late.
The elephant in the room is that UK rail is too complex to be managed in siloes and it should be renationalised for the national good and to save money.

Most of the big traps society sets up is built on top of loss aversion.

The chimp brain is unreasonably terrified of loosing status, cash, relationships, health, housing etc etc. That fear is used to setup all kinds of traps to keep the chimp in chains.

So lot of people have got trapped in costly social/professional status arm races, multiple alimony/child support payments, multiple mortgages, endless credit card bills etc etc etc.

It will probably hit them (as well as other Asian countries like South Korea) harder because they have not had the same levels of immigration to buffer the demographic change like in the west. Overall things have just gotten increasingly uncertain and insecure throughout the developed world, retirement at 65 is probably a pipe dream for most millennials.
Don't forget the importance of Shockley's mom being in Palo Alto. His stated reason for moving to the west coast was to be closer to her. Given that pretty much all the "silicon" companies in Silicon Valley are descendants of Shockley Semiconductor, that chance occurrence is probably enough to explain it.
Private hospitals are usually nicer than public ones everywhere, but that's obviously to be expected.

However, that misses the point of state involvement in education and healthcare, which is universal access.
Of course people with money will have access to (good) schools and (good) healthcare. The state is involved so that everyone has access to those services.
I disagree with most of this advice. I think Google's Python Style Guide provides exception guidance that leads to clearer code.[0]

I agree with Animats's comment[1] about not catching the base Exception class, and the Google guidelines explicitly prohibit this, except at the outermost scope. One obvious flaw in catching Exception is if that if the user hits Ctrl+C to kill the application, but the code happens to be executing the ReceiptService at the time, the app will confusingly raise a ReceiptGenerationFailed exception instead of KeyboardInterrupt. (Edit: this isn't true, thanks to child comment for correction)

The final code snippet shows four function calls within the same try even though the functions throw a disjoint set of exceptions. It's unclear to a reader at the callsite what exception handlers corrrelate with which functions.

except OrderAlreadyInProgress as e:
logger.info("Aborting emission request because it is already in progress!")
return {"order_id": order_id, "order_status": e.order_status.value}

To me, it feels sinful to use an exception to effectively "return" a value that the caller needs. I only use member fields in the exception to describe what went wrong. The original "bad" version of the code returned this information to the caller without raising an exception, and that felt more intuitive to me.

else:
return {"order_id": order_id, "order_status": order_status.value}

I don't understand the purpose of the else at the end. I would just write the return within the try as:

return {"order_id": order_id, "order_status": status_service.get_order_status(order_id) }

There are also technical skills and geopolitical issues with nuclear don't exist with solar. You can deliver solar panels to the Southern Congo on truck.

Also you have a choice, build a nuke plant that will produce power for 50 years. Or buid a plant to produce solar panels for 50 years. That's an accounting problem that would be interesting to see the results of.

I don't do anything fancy. I have VScode doing some node/python/php. I run Docker few time to time , have about 30 Chrome tabs open (with tab suspender). Notion / Spotify / Terminal are constantly opens.

> I'm arguing that you can probably have both -- by using human moderators.

I don't think human moderators can review 720K hours of video per day. (on YouTube)
You would need to hire >100,000 moderators to continuously watch videos all day and have some redundancy in reviews, then 1,000s of supervisors to make sure moderators are doing their job correctly. (almost impossible when you review videos all day with no break)
Let's not even get into comment moderation...
£100 a month? It’s £200 return for a day for Bristol to London - and that’s if the train gets you there, and doesn’t dump you somewhere outside of Chippenham because it’s the wrong kind of sunny today and the rails have buckled, or it’s cold and the rails have frozen, or it’s raining and the train is poorly with diesel cholera. All of these are acts of god, of course, so aren’t compensatable events.

> - If arch upgrades the major version of glibc during some random package install (rather than a system upgrade), and you don't upgrade the whole system at once

this was what convinced me to switch to Debian back in the 90ies. It was the only distribution that could do this without throwing a tantrum. I was coming from RedHat and SuSE and both had huge problems with this. Debian presented a higher learning curve (at least that was what people said). Debian really only lagged behind back then with their graphical installer and the overall lack of integrated DE back then (compared to others).

I really like the Arch wiki as a Debian user but never used Arch itself. Not going to change because old dog, new tricks ...
I've got exactly zero jobs without networking. =)

My first summer jobs were with people my dad knew. The first actual programming job I got because I happened to be tagging along with my friend who had a job interview.

From there on in I got jobs mostly because I had a friend inside vouching for my talents.

This also goes the other way, I wouldn't join a company where I don't have inside information on how shit actually gets done.
"What's more, the poor in other countries know that they are living in poor countries. They know that not only they but just about everyone is on the edge of starvation. The poor in the United States, on the other hand, are daily told on all sides that the United States is rich and wonderful. Movies and television constantly show them what happy lives other people are leading. The poor and hopeless are made to feel alone and imprisoned by misery in the midst of a victorious and wealthy and endlessly self-congratulating society." -- Isaac Asimov, "Just Say 'No'?"

There are two sides in the debate I referred to and my post did not advocate either side.
I only in the last year got FF not to crash frequently when there is no GPU. More dependence on GPU would not be welcome. (There is no GPU access from within a VM, on Qubes.)

I can't see what benefit you expect to get from the GPU. It is plenty fast with all-CPU rendering.

The Qubes X model is interesting: each VM runs its own X, and renders windows into memory shared with a central VM that copies the pixels to real video memory. Input events get forwarded to a VM's X according to which is the active window frame. The camera can be attached temporarily to a VM, and mike input similarly. So, no VM has physical access to hardware anytime other than when you want it to.

I am hoping a future Qubes will have proxying Vulkan stubs or something, for controlled access to a GPU. But it isn't missed much since FF stopped crashing.

Love to be proved wrong. But public transport's goal never was to turn a profit. It's a public good, and should be measured by its "public good"ness.

Extracting profit feels like something that disproportionately targets the poor/working class and leads to either an exploited workforce and worse service... without a reduction in overall costs.

Now this trend of a "Nationalised Brand" over a "privatised service" just feels like insult to injury...

Can capitalism hurry up and eat itself so we can try something else...

“garnishee” is the noun for the person subject to the garnishment (that is, the person owing/controlling money to/of the debtor whose held funds or payments are redirected from the debtor to the creditor); the verb for imposing the garnishment is “garnish”, and in the past tense “garnished” not “garnisheed”.

Using a physics engine still requires understanding how to calculate the forces you want to apply which requires a fair understanding of basic mechanics at the very least.

There are also definitely people writing their own physics. I did so myself not that long ago for a project. For our constrained problem it only took a week to get going. Then you have the case where you want to write a controller that has physics like behaviour that isn’t readily achievable with middleware easily. A good understanding of the principles behind physics engines helps a lot here.

For example the ship motion here is a rigidbody sim I wrote from scratch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bs1p22oI_V4

Whereas all the locomotion of individual players including them jetpacking around is hand written behaviour with a simpler Euler integrator for linear motion only. You can try that directly:

> "The truth is, I lack some of the skills that make an ideal manager. I'm more interested in analysing organizational and market principles, and leveraging these theories to further reduce management work, rather than actually managing people," Mr Zhang wrote in a message on the company's website. "Similarly, I'm not very social, preferring solitary activities like being online, reading, listening to music, and contemplating what may be possible," he added.

After reading and re-reading his comments, I'm still not 100% sure whether these were his honest feelings or just a different form of "corporate speak." Also interesting he is stepping down during a wave of crackdown on Internet giants in China by the CCP. It could be genuine, but I find it hard to judge.
Ah, yes, I'm very aware of that fact, my use of "needed" here was in the sense it was needed after all the ones making money from transaction fees took over and decided to not increase the block size.
Hurrah! Even as a free market conservative I've long been in favour of this: bidding for the multi-year contract to operate a line is a poor proxy for (impossible) proper competition where rail users could vote with their feet and wallets.

There's effectively only one operator anyway, for a given journey, it should be the state, awarding the multi-year contract to the elected government is strictly better than to a private company where there's little/much more indirect incentive to do anything in the interest of the consumer.

You don't travel with X from A to B because you think X is great value for money and provides a really top notch service; you do it because you need to get from A to B and X happens to be the operator.

However.. I'm pessimistic... I'm sure operators will push back on 'under one brand', and argue they need this that and the other in order to differentiate themselves and effectively compete...
Most will sympathise with public run railways (rightly or wrongly) so it is worth highlighting some positives from private companies running of the railways.

The private companies have pushed for a very large increase in the number of operating trains, with around a 50% increase in the past couple of decades, they are trying to squeeze every drop possible out if the tracks.

The train companies are also often making a loss on these routes, commonly subsidised by foreign Europeans governments looking to expand their rail business, Dutch or Italian tax payers should be annoyed at how their taxes are being wasted.

Profits are also capped so these are not potential cash cows people suspect. British tickets are expensive because the government doesn't subsidise the ticket price, which is a separate debate.

The Public Vs private debate will continue until the end of time, the truth is there are benefits to both systems.

Nikolo Paganini was known to practice violin without actually touching one. Same goes for composing. He (allegedly at least) used to conceptualize in his mind how his hands would move for each part, and would master those movements, even though he wasn't actually doing them. It greatly played into his reputation of having made a deal with the devil, because people only very rarely heard him practice or compose - he just went ahead with new content seemingly out of the blue, but in reality put a lot of work into it.

It sounds very similar to what Nikola Tesla often did.
Probably because they used their gut feeling/intuition which stems from experience, so they started suggesting arguments to support their gut feeling. Their gut feeling may be correct, it's just that they might not be able to see all the arguments or edge cases that may make this indexing a bad idea so they are concerned about implementing out of the box.

It's very typical when suggesting ideas that go against the usual best practices, status quo, but it's understandable since you actually should consider all the edge cases before moving away from known ways of doing things.
I don't get it. People form societies because we are better off collectively. We run into problems where some people manage to rig society in a way that some people are consistently worse off and others are consistently better off.

Society as a whole is better off => every single member is better of.

There is no such relationship. However, since every individual directly contributes to the total productivity of society, we want every member to reach their maximum potential and one way to achieve that is to introduce welfare so that people at the bottom don't have to be homeless or starve because we want them to have a second chance at life.
