New York Magazine is certainly centered on New York City, but like many other New York-named publications (including the unrelated New York Times newspaper and the New Yorker magazine), it is actually national in scope. And many of the stories can even be international, insofar as culture and a not insignificant American export.

It has always been well-regarded, think of it as a more puckish New Yorker (although in recent years, The New Yorker has certainly taken on more personality, especially online), and I would argue, was one of the first “prestige” magazines to really embrace online and digital expansion. It took until well into the 2010s for a lot of the Condé Nast and Hearst publications to even integrate their digital and print newsrooms, with digital often being treated as an afterthought. New York Mag really embraced online early and as a result, didn’t have the same identity issues once the bottom dropped out of print’s profitability. It used to be a weekly magazine but swapped to biweekly seven or eight years ago.

I’ve been a subscriber since I was in college (which was before I moved to New York City), which coincided with the online push and the reign of editor-in-chief Adam Moss (who was EIC from 2004-2019), and since 2004, I believe NYMag has won more National Magazine Awards (which are sort of the magazine world’s equivalent of the Pulitzer Prizes, albeit with less prestige) than any other publication.

There are several “verticals” for New York Mag, which include Vulture (culture), The Cut (lifestyle and more of a focus on women), Grub Street (restaurants and bars), Intelligencer (tech, politics, ideas).

Vox bought the magazine a few years ago, but it operates relatively independently from the other Vox media sites (Vox, The Verge, etc.), at least as far as editorial content goes. (I’m sure they share resources like HR and some ad sales stuff, same as Conde and Hearst and Meredith.)

*I don’t and have never worked at New York Mag, but as a former New York City-based journalist, I have friends who do or have worked there and I’ve met Pam Wasserstein, the former CEO (current president of Vox Media), socially a few times.
Alloy | Full-Stack Software Engineer Berlin, Germany / Vancouver, BC, 65 - 120k EUR / 85 - 165k CAD | https://alloy.ai

At Alloy, we work with consumer goods companies that make the products we eat, wear, and use every day, as well as the ones we occasionally splurge on. We’re tackling a real and complex problem for brands: managing supply and demand in the face of constantly changing customer behavior. Our goal is to make products available where and when they are most needed.

Engineers at Alloy are tasked with solving the complex problems that supply chain data presents, while making it all seem simple and easy to the user. Whether you enjoy building data pipelines that process billions of data points per day, digging into the math of replenishment models, or creating an intuitive frontend experience, there is no shortage of challenging things to work on. We're looking to hire platform engineers to join our Vancouver team and an engineering lead to join our team in Berlin.

Our stack: Google Cloud Platform, Postgres, Python, modern Java, TypeScript, and React. We invest heavily in the growth and development of the team - you don't need to know these technologies upfront to succeed at Alloy.

Fuck Home Depot. First they killed off all the mom-and-pop hardware local stores. Now we shop there because that’s usually the only choice. Are we supposed to feel sorry for them? It’s bad enough that they’ve turned me into their employee with their self-checkout system.

Someone at HD made the calculation that by not employing as many cashiers, the personnel savings will be profitable even in the face of shoplifting. But now, they are just putting another burden on their customers and vendors.
I definitely agree with you, but in this case the Postgres team itself frames the suboptimal behavior as such:

> However, PostgreSQL's planner is currently not very smart about such cases.

(From https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/indexes-index-only-scans....)

I suspect this is just a rough edge. Many types of functions may not be consistent, and therefore would need to be re-executed on the original data. Perhaps some of the planner functionality here predates function notation like `IMMUTABLE`.
Part of the business model is to work with manufacturers to offer smaller packaging, i.e. less product, for the same price. Consumers are more sensitive to price and not unit price.

Another strategy would be "shrinkflation" (great Planet Money coverage on this: https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2021/07/06/1012409112/bew...). Over time you'd just sell less stuff for the same price point.

But yes, some of the various Dollar stores have left the strict $1 product rule.
>The massive problem here is that its really difficult to hotswap anything.

And this problem has been there since Day 1 ( For well over a decade ). And no one seems to have solve it. It make sense if you treat the whole Rack as a single entity with water cooling. But for individual server I still dont understand how and why liquid cooling could benefits.
>Perhaps, though there is that thing about local business keeping the money local to contend with.

I'd say this is to be proven. People that own businesses in broke areas (which is what we're talking about here, no?) are also likely to invest their money in expanding their company in other broke areas, personal financial investments and their children's education.

I live in a relatively rural community where the public schools actually do quite academically when compared across the entire state and we would get families moving into the community because of the excellent care we provide to developmentally disabled kids. Unfortunately the vast majority of people I know that went to college moved out of town and is now generating tax revenue elsewhere.

Costco is a great place to buy non-perishables, dry goods, and stuff you can freeze the excess of. I agree it's hard to eat the fresh stuff but then again I don't have a family.
This article was featured on Thinking About Things [0] today, which is likely how it got to the front page of Hacker News.

Curiously, almost everybody on the hiking trail I bike has the telltale white lozenges in their ears now. Pre-Covid it was something like 25%.

So trail talk has been reduced to nearly zero. I call out "On your left!" as I pass, but still folks can be startled as I drift past. And forget saying "Good morning!" and getting a response.

It will take years to undo the changes done by this past year.
What exactly is a "scarce resource" on a galactic scale? I'd think there isn't one.
What did you do differently once you accepted it?
Common in restaurants as well. It's downright bizarre to think about now, but I remember as a child, at family restaurants like Friendly's and Howard Johnson's (which itself is an anachronism), being asked by a cheery-faced hostess whether we wanted "smoking or non-smoking".
They are competing with Bitcoin whether they like it or not. CBDCs are a result of Bitcoin applying pressure to central banks. As long as the money offered by central banks is censorable and heavily debased, they will be in this battle.

And no, they can't destroy something that can be forked and updated an infinite number of times. Not sure why you don't understand that its trivially easy to copy Bitcoin and build an alt. As long as that is the case, Bitcoin cannot be defeated.

If the current POW mechanism is repeatedly attacked and defeated it will adapt or projects will move to another consensus method. This is an arms race that CBs cannot win and they will burn a lot of money in process of losing, which is a beautiful thing.

Realize a successful 51% attack is just the beginning of the war, not the end of it.

*All the arguments you put forth so far are defeated by this simple flip of a consensus mechanism switch.
You can set it flat on a table or desk without a weird rocking effect
Yeah, key is to find a job you can add value :)

And by my experience if you don't need to work, live gets really boring quickly. All your friends are at work, can only do such travel, if you do your hobby 8/5 a week it gets boring.
That's what I would say too ;)
The best response from the statically-typed world is functional programming and explicit dependencies (Haskell, OCaml, F#), which makes mocking unnecessary most of the time. OOP (Java, C#) is not the true standard for static-typing, just the most common one.
Hmmm, that's an interesting distinction; But someone who intelligently evaluates startups and picks a more genuinely productive one (likely to discover new pure gains) to give money to seems to qualify as a valid outcome. Unlike things which are very hard to justify, like directly impeding such people for selfish reasons.

Perhaps it's about selfishness?
That's not what happened. Cases started going _down_ right as nightclubs opened.
It was interesting especially juxtaposed on current reality. I hated smoking (ok I hated 2nd hand smoke as a non-smoker). But somehow, it was the right of the individual to smoke; when, where, and how they pleased. It didn't matter that other people in the space shared the air. Compared to present when the world is looking to bend over backwards to avoid putting smoke in someone else's air on a plethora of different topics. Many, that I've never contemplated. Like, for instance, I never thought I could get yelled at for using what I thought to be the correct pronoun while saying "yes sir, thank you". I'd think they'd just recognize my attempt canned politeness and say "you're welcome" and recognize why people think of them as a "sir" during casual brief interactions (because they were wearing men's clothes & had facial hair).
This is exciting to me. I have tripped over every VPN technology listed on Wikipedia at one point or another during my career. Always open to something better.

I think IPSec or OpenVPN are probably the opposite of what WG is offering here... Microsoft's SSTP offering is actually not causing me any major frustration at the moment. I almost like using it. But, seeing these other comments telling tales of 600 megabit VPN wifi experiences... I'll check it out for sure.
> Sneering at people who use different languages is both a bad look, and a bad way to convince people that you’re right.

I'm pretty sure that this was a criticism of NPM rather than of any language.

> Forget multithreading, think more about metrics, logs, configuration, A/B testing, retries/bulkheads/circuit-breakers, feature flags, and secrets management.

I could understand logs and secrets management (if it's what I think you mean by that), but how do the other things relate to the language? Except for retries which I would have thought were much better integrated into CL then they could be in Java, given resumable conditions.

> Configuring a Kafka reader in my app and seeing that it automatically discovered Micrometer on my class path and started emitting metrics is a lovely experience.

Is this a thing that something like asdf-system-connections would solve in Lisp? (IMO also much more elegantly than by "discovering X on my class path".)
That makes me feel better, if so.

Although reading it again ...

> In Mountain View, landlords raised rents when they heard companies were giving a bonus for people living within 15 miles. Some even included it in their advertising.

I've never been to the west coast, but I would assume that location to the various offices would already be part of the advertising. I regularly see it in this area for Epic and the University.
...everything that opposes 'the left' is automatically binned as authoritarian, fascist, hard-right, -ist, etc.*

Yes that happens, in the New York Times. It's wonderful for a center-right organization like Democrats to pose as leftist in their party organ. Rational people, including rational actual leftists, are less likely to try to "de-platform" anyone.
I think to the fact that other "engineering" industries do have licenses. There is no way legally they could get away with these types of interviews.

I used to be a software developer and an architectural firm (that designs buildings). The architects plus engineers had to go through 5 years of college, do years of on job training, all before they can be licensed.

I felt kind of bad for them though because I made more then most of them before I was 21.

The interviews are crazy though. The last big company I worked at had a "probation" period. For Sr Software Engineers we would only do a single 1 hour interview. But if they did not do well in the first 90 days we could fire them.

Seems much better than telling people to study leetcode hours per day for 2 months prior to an interview.
That might be a very naive view of things, but can't you extract a test suite of the current system (including non-regression tests) to use it to develop the new system? Or do it part by part, ship of Theseus style?
Cool :) Almost conquered Gaul ;)

I never said a license would stop them.

However if they pick another software over mine due to soft choices I made when I creating it or building a community around I am less complicit.

If my software were to be inherently better compared to a politically non discriminatory software my software would put some weight on the social scales that decide where we end up as a society.
Strike up a conversation. People do like talking about where to shop for the best bargains. "Hey, does this place have a good deal on X? I usually buy that at Lidl."
As opposed to my local Walmart, or Kroger?
I've run Linux on lots of machines over a lot of years. It was my main desktop (well, laptop) OS on two devices over an ~8-year span, even. I don't think, based on fairly extensive personal experience, it's had a great position compared with Windows, on the stability and ease-of-maintenance dimensions, since Win7 came out and that OS got way more stable (arguably, since one of the service packs of XP, I forget which one—2, maybe?—whipped that OS into pretty decent shape, or maybe since 2K if we're allowing non-home-targeted versions).

I'm not a Windows fan at all, but it's gotten far more stable while Linux in my substantial experience hasn't made much progress on stability, in a desktop OS context, specifically, where applications crashing with greater frequency or the windowing system crashing count against a platform, not just blue-screens and kernel panics. Major distros also have a bad habit of backsliding temporarily, but significantly, on stability with upgrades when major subsystems are changed out, in a way and to a degree that Windows and, say, macOS, do not (this is not a claim that those never have issues of this sort, mind you, they're just less frequent, less severe, and less long-lived, typically), and the alternatives are to use slow-changing distros that leave you hunting for sources for modern software to run on them when you need it, or stuck on old kernels without newer hardware support, or rolling distros, which are their own special stability risk.

Meanwhile, most of the progress Linux has made on the desktop in the last 15ish years as far as features is lame, unhelpful-at-best GUI churn (to be fair, macOS and Windows are guilty of plenty of this, though not as much) and stuff that macOS and Windows already did better (very ordinary and basic wifi use not requiring you to learn yet another command line tool for something that's two clicks in a point-n-drool interface on other operating systems, stuff like that). Hell, one feature I'm now very interested in, which is X-Window-style remote applications (as are others, see: remote-Chrome-as-a-service as a business model) is stagnating tech that's on its way out, on Linux, not something the community is running forward with as a differentiator.

Haven't read the article - but this is my sentiment for many years. I went to undergrad for computer engineering, then a masters in electrical engineering...hoping to do actual engineering work. And I end up having a career in web app development because that's where the money is at.

I am surprised that those who continue to work on "genuinely hard technical problems" do so when web app/dev has so many jobs with pretty damn good pay.

As an anecdote, my wife has a PhD in chemistry from a top program. Majority of her peers in grad school ended up taking classes in CS, Data Science, drop their program and work at a tech company.

When she graduated...I remember sitting with her at a career website and just looking at the differences in quantity of jobs for hard sciences vs IT (my wife's career now has nothing w/ her hard earned degree)
They are related. You can specify effects with monads (http://goto.ucsd.edu/~nvazou/koka/icfp15.pdf for example), and continuations can be expressed with monads (and therefore as an effect). I believe monads and effects are more general than continuations though. I’m not an expert so don’t quote me haha
That's why, when you're a grocery store, you should stay a bit on top and join DG. I would even expect them to ask if you want to franchise with your existing clients.

My dad has such a small business, that was struggling under threat of potential new regulation to increase competition: he joined a big national franchise, destroyed the other stores and now HE is the big store. Maybe some of the same business will have to close, but the clients are happy because prices dropped, my dad can keep his 5 employees and push towards retirement with a valuable business to resell, and the regulator will be happy to see that not only big malls will survive their liberalization attempt.

The only people who lost are people who sat on their hands, looked at the sky in angst and complained people outside the village are coming to change things...

This is true, but the workaround proposed in the article is not a change to the query at all. It's adding another index, which is a pretty classic case of "proper" usage of query analysis (as opposed to confusing/hacky mutations of the query itself).

China is "cooling" certain sectors, to spur growth in physical tech and manufacturing. This is where the future power is - not in social networks and ad sales, it's in stuff. Just look at what happens when we can't manufacture our own chips. Car factories halt. Personal computing prices spike. Military tech sputters.

China is doing what the U.S. would normally do in an effective anti-monopoly action, if our system was not broken and the government not bought with its guts by billionaires floating in tax-cut windfall.

Now we have entities that have more legal resources than the government, which is a recipe for disaster (and runaway legalized corruption).

China sees what happens when you let money run loose through power structures, and it does not want the same fate.
