What a disingenuous PoS. Honestly, fuck this clown and the horse he rode in on. Anyone telling you that giving you a smaller slice of the pie is for your own benefit is getting one over on you.

The best hot take I have heard on this subject is that engineers are not paid too much. Everyone, including eng, is underpaid WRT rising revenues and exec comp. Of course the pushback comes from CEOs because they are hoarding revenue. I hire. I know it sucks and is hard and you have to pay an arm and a leg to do it. But do you know how much a fucking house goes for these days? Do you know how long it takes to save for a downpayment on $150k? Get the fuck out of here "helping the younger generation" by stagnating salaries.
Normal human here, can someone speculate on potential industrial uses?
Once you discovered interesting peptides, please consider mass-producing them with a bioreactor e.g. of modified yeasts.

Milk will be phased out because its carbon footprint is too heavy, so even if it will probably not disappear short-term, you cannot regard it as eternally a plentiful resource, and even right now it is starting to get a stench of non-politically correct (veganism, etc).
Good to know. So much room for innovation in this market. Appreciate the support!
Yarn 2 has killer features

- environment-independent lockfiles

- yes, you can have the same lockfile and run it behind different proxies with the same result now! very strong for corporate proxy situations with external dev teams

- pnp

- superbly fast package install, gets faster as you use it more

Yarn 2 also has an upfront cost

- all new config (yml)

- also renamed pretty much every property

- docs are decent and mitigate some of this

- doesn't come for free with node.js

- conflicts with npm with regards to commands

- interacts awkwardly with npm config, leading to some situations where yarn installs fail due to npm config being partially and implicitly merged

Overall it's pretty good. Not really sure it's worth it unless install performance or multiple-proxy situations are present at your workplace though.
stdlib or die.

> we'll see another explosion in practical CPU throughput, combined with a little help from algs and data structures

The learned index[1] is basically a variation of this sort of "hint" which relies on getting the right answer most of the time, but from learning the distribution function as a model instead of relying on the programmer to heuristic it.

(from that paper)

> The key idea is that a model can learn the sort order or structure of lookup keys and use this signal to effectively predict the position or existence of records

I haven't seen anything mix this sort of work with an Eytzinger traversal, but there's always diminishing returns for these.

I've been thinking about this for a while... and I am really starting to believe that management is the subsection of the workforce being most overpaid these days.

Also, I wrote an article on developer pay that might be relevant to this discussion: (Why Aren't Developers Paid More?) https://jonpauluritis.com/articles/why-aren-t-developers-pai...
The charge would actually be (-2 + 1 - 1 - 1)/3 = -1 of a proton's charge. There isn't any physically viable combination of quarks that would produce a non-integer charge. The article mentions the bb tetraquark can only decay through the weak force, but I'm not sure how long it'd live either.
In the books, the Sophons got in the way of the accelerated particle beam but somehow avoided being destroyed themselves. They wouldn't have allowed a new particle to be discovered.

Reminds me of Rob Hart's 2019 dystopian novel "The Warehouse", which seems to be quite popular on Amazon, too.

They are very long because of things like the GPDR.

That said, amazons are pretty darn clear.

I would generally like that. I looked at getting a used motorcycle for short trips. I ended up not getting it due to safety concerns (I had two instances the week I was considering it where I would have needed to lay the bike down due to impatient people suddenly pulling out in front of me). This area has a lot of traffic and no shoulder, so I also gave up the idea of riding a bike.

I think most of the issues would be solved with better driver testing. I've noticed at least 50% of the people passing a bicycle do not leave the required 4 feet of space. Although I've also noticed many cyclists ignoring rules and blowing through stop signs etc.
Appreciate the support! Love the “landlord” concept too - we have a few ideas here…
German Court: Facebook Must Inform Users About Deleting Their Posts, Explain Why

Not author but I can tell you it's really hard if you don't have connections in pharma. Location is important, most biotech deals happen in the Bay Area and Boston. Medicinal chemists are not necessarily known for being eager to try out new things.
I'll need to give Glitch hosting another look. When they first launched there were frequent issues with domains not connecting, or SSL issues, or projects would just go down entirely. I hope they've made progress since then because I really want to like Glitch's hosting as much as I love their editor.
I measure ~80ns here for the most-trivial syscalls (I measured getpid() and ftruncate(-1)).

However, the "real" cost often is higher, because a syscall essentially prevents out-of-order execution from hiding the cost of those cycles. Quoting the Intel manual:

> Instruction ordering. Instructions following a SYSCALL may be fetched from memory before earlier instructions complete execution, but they will not execute (even speculatively) until all instructions prior to the SYSCALL have completed execution (the later instructions may execute before data stored by the earlier instructions have become globally visible)

On modern out-of-order CPUs that's often going to cause a lot of knock-on slowdown. Waiting for all prior instructions to retire will often mean waiting for memory accesses etc that would effectively be "free" without the syscall.

And then you have the icache, TLB costs of the syscall - harder to measure, because it won't show up in simple test programs...
How can we be confident that zero infection rate would ever have been achieved? They gave it a good shot, in most places over twice as long as had been originally planned. At some point, if you're not seeing transmission rates getting at least close to zero, it seems like you have to conclude the plan's not working.
B&B does stand on its own away from the videos. But the videos are also part of where they really shined. So you can buy the 4 box sets. But you are really getting about 1/3rd of the content from that show. Some of the videos are on the extras discs in the packs. Watching Mike Judge comment on MTV culture through the eyes of B&B was part of the fun. The last season they put the segments in. Watching them riff on Jersey Shore was most amusing.
Maybe he should eat less avocado toast.

For real though, CEOs have thought this way for decades. See the famous Powell memo: https://reclaimdemocracy.org/powell_memo_lewis/
How can you regulate conspiring? It would seem to me that people have the right to private channels of communication, and free speech over said communication. They could do it over Signal and nobody would know nor have records.
They run a marketplace and make $20 billion in ad revenue (or more) per year.

Obviously - targeting ads helps them make this money - how is this not a legit business purpose?

Same. It's been on my list, but this is more detail than I wanted to see.
I often use this quote by George Monbiot in my course as a caveat for my hard-working students: "If wealth was the inevitable result of hard work and enterprise, every woman in Africa would be a millionaire."
They were too busy gushing over the success of their zero infections strategy, until it failed.

Meanwhile they didn’t prioritize vaccinations.
I (American) started an extremely similar VC-backed business in Germany. We were focused on car maintenance and detailing, but otherwise we had the same business model that you describe: our major selling point was upfront, fixed pricing without a diagnostic appointed, supplied by a network of independent mechanics and backed by a guarantee. We also had a sister company who focused on home services, although their initial market entry point was paint jobs.

I think this is a very viable business model that can provide tremendous value to consumers. If you guys want to chat, shoot me a DM — I’d be happy to share my experience.
Don't worry, I'll just use a sophon to revert your memory.

I think aside from the hypocrisy and poor taste of the specific sentiment expressed, the other thing that I find telling is that Golan's instinct was that management at competing companies should collectively agree to drive down wages. His perspective is centered not around competition between his company and others, but about management at all companies against a group of workers. And for those in the US, perhaps this idea of companies colluding to keep down wages recalls the non-poaching deal among many US tech giants from several years ago.

I suspect the exception here was voicing this in a relatively public way, where at least normally executives would have the sense to do this quietly.
Physicists Designing an Egg Timer
The laws of physics are only symmetric under euclidean rotations in the three dimensions of space. When mixing time and space, you have to use a hyperbolic rotation, and there is no hyperbolic rotation that turns time into space.
So was Oculus Quest. It was extremely difficult to find one in stock, even when Oculus Quest 2 came out.

And getting Oculus Quest 2 was pretty much impossible for the first 3-4 months after the release last year (that I tracked). Not sure how difficult it is now, because I haven't checked. But for the first 3-4 months, it was definitely the same situation, with people stalking out restocks at local best buys and walmarts to get one.
Smart people place themselves in a situation where luck can find them.

For example, if you drop out of school, do drugs, and commit crimes, what are your odds of a successful life? Zilch.

If you stay at home playing video games all day, what are your odds of meeting the partner of your dreams? Zip.

If your startup does no marketing, does not attend trade shows, and doesn't write a decent manual, what are the odds of business success? Zero.

If you bring a sack lunch to work every day, and eat at your desk instead of stepping out to lunch with the gang, what are your odds of promotion? Pretty meager.

And so on.
Full disclosure, I don't have any experience with yarn aside from personal experiments, so I can't compare yarn with npm fairly. But is it possible that another package manager is even less safe than npm regarding dependency resolution?

Ask your team the question: what's the difference between npm update, npm install, npm update --workspaces, npm install --workspaces, and how the outcome differs between npm versions.

Bonus points for knowing in which scenario package-lock.json is taken into account.

If yarn is even worse, my last hope is gone. Please don't take that post too seriously :)

Thanks for sharing the legal text of the law that was referenced by the article.

After reading that, it seems that yes the article may have casually redefined the concept of 'minority groups'.

That said, the Wikipedia entry (in English at least) begins:

>Volksverhetzung, in English "incitement to hatred" (used also in the official English translation of the German Criminal Code),[1][2] "incitement of popular hatred", "incitement of the masses", or "instigation of the people"

I know German-English translations can be tricky, but based on that, and more so the not-so-ancient history that brought the policy about, it would seem we'd be denying practical and historical precedent in claiming:

>The position of all people is equal before the law.

Perhaps the parent comment was specifically referencing modern German/EU law. If that's the case I wouldn't argue, as I believe in the ideal.

However presented as an axiom? It doesn't hold practically or historically.

Volksverhetzung was passed not 30 years after the Nuremberg laws were passed. Here in the US it took a constitutional amendment to recognize women's right to vote; and after that it took additional acts of congress to outlaw discrimination based on race/religion/origin/sex/origin/orientation.

I don't know... but based on Volksverhetzung, the 19th Amendment, and the Civil Rights Act, it would seem it might be a fairer statement to say that, lately, we're collectively trying to use the legal system as a means to ensure equal position of people before it.
What is it then? It seems at best upper middle class in the US [not California], but that's pushing it.
Even for a smaller project, on yarn v1, our installs was like 3 minutes. With yarn v2 it is basically instant - saves so much time!

I can also add that the monorepo setup really makes it easy to manage project with multiple packages and interdependencies. You can have a look at our config for this here: https://github.com/lowdefy/lowdefy
This is something that I see "daily" currently working as a contractor on web development. Frameworks like Bootstrap are used to quickly/cheaply deploy a site but by not doing things "properly" from the beginning it creates a debt to be paid later with compounds.

I dislike working with Bootstrap projects but I understand that "getting into debt" sometimes is unavoidable. And debt isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Thanks! Yes, I imagine that any industry with higher requirement of resources and de-risking of technology walk hand in hand with challenges. Getting off the ground challenge #1 is When?, #2 Funds? and #3 Determining precise timing to get to market?
Or trolling.
True for what it is, but this is handled in the books. They literally don’t want our planet, they want our star.

And the dark forest: without a history of correlated interaction we have no reason to believe they will allow us to live, so we can’t allow them to live, so they can’t allow us to live.

Eliding a more major spoiler, they absolutely intended to annihilate us on arrival and they would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for, ah, “those meddling kids”. Everything else was cloak and dagger.

They definitely would have terraformed every planet in the system once they were sure we were gone. Or more likely deconstructed them, at that point in their development.

It's basically not supported in Ember yet, so.... Not at all. My fingers are crossed for pnpm support soon so I can be done with the sadness pile that has been yarn as of late (e.g. linking just flat out doesn't work for us with Ember addons).
For each project, there's a unique balance between HTML, CSS, and the greater organization.

Consider a site that mostly renders Markdown or XML documents. Tailwind is probably the wrong choice. You have less control of the HTML content in this case, because it's generated. If you want to use Tailwind here, you'd need to make liberal use of Tailwind's @apply directive for basic declarations, which IMO is not the best expression of Tailwind usage. On the other hand, you have a lot of control over the CSS. It makes more sense to write the CSS directly.

Now consider an organization with many separate web properties, which all require consistent branding. The organization has a UI guy who creates universal stylesheets and components for use across sites. Here you have less control over the CSS, and more over the HTML. Tailwind makes more sense. You can add all the utility classes to HTML that you want, with few overrides or other enterprise pull-ups.

This latter scenario also highlights one of Tailwind's strengths. Tailwind limits your options. If you need to keep a brand consistent across a large number of properties, Tailwind keeps you in the guardrails of the style guide. I can't be the only one who's worked at an organization where there's supposed to be only one shade of blue to represent the brand, but you wind up finding 160 different shades of blue throughout the CSS.

Anyway, Tailwind has its time and place. I love it when it fits.
Well. Pay and price fixing is an exercice of vision and elegance. Most go at it with brute force and ignorance.
The US gov also has tons of equipment and is decades behind on infrastructure maintenance. It might not be for everyone but the US government could easily employ millions - as they do with the military.
I suspect that the market is finally catching up. A good dev might might generate $4M of revenue (or savings) over the course of his tenure.

I know I saved companies millions of dollars but only got $100k/yr doing it.
You can regulate conspiring. There are tons of laws for this already, either within antitrust, criminal law, etc.

The challenge is proving the conspiring happened. If a CEO specifically admits to calling companies and conspiring, then, well, there's the evidence.

EDIT:

Case in point from 2014 -- "Four major tech companies including Apple and Google have agreed to pay a total of $324 million to settle a lawsuit accusing them of conspiring to hold down salaries in Silicon Valley..."[1]

We are forced to migrate from npm to yarn:

- Somehow one of our dependencies fail to install with old version of npm.

- Updating npm to last version fixes this, but on some machines, npm install fails with a 401 error despite having no private registries configured.

Still no fixes for this bug after multiples months:

- https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/2799

- https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/3284

- There is a lot of other issues on this.

Before this, whe had multiples other issues with npm (thats may be still live):

- npm is not extensible enough and require a lot of workarounds to be used in safely CI.

- There are bugs thats are not fixed for 2 years that make npm ci not working. (https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/289)

- All bug reports have been closed after a new version release because they have no idea if they fixed a bug or not.
It has happened!

Might be a case of sunk cost fallacy. The article mentions that while vendors were asking for 64 bit, they didn't want to cannibalize Itanium, but were forced to anyway when AMD came out with their 64 bit pentium compatible CPU.
Data stored in Google Drive etc should be encrypted and split into 50 MB chunks or something like that to hide metadata and mitigate the risk of leaks. Better backup tools have been offering this for a long time.
Couldn't trisolarans have broken the encryption? Many of our old methods of encryption have been rendered obsolete by our own technology.
Super spoiler below:

Their tri-solar system was too unstable to terraform, they needed a stable solar system to migrate to. Of course ours was the nearest with an habitable planet (otherwise there wouldn't be much of a story), so they can immediately colonize Earth, and probably begin the centuries-long process of terraforming the neighboring planets.
I guess high salaries paid by funded startups offset the risk that the company will flame out in 3-5 years combined with scarcity of developer talent - which in itself is driven by lots of VC money sloshing around. When the money dries up, salaries will deflate. However, money will remain cheap while govts are printing it so liberally. Software isn't so much eating the world, it is eating mountains and mountains of cash.
Dayum, Metropolis is a nice font! Thanks for the links =)
That's not the data I'm asking for. I'm asking for the calculations used to come to that 2.5x number. Those numbers do not address the base risk vs enhanced risk, nor the rate at which this occurs.

Please don't resort to personal attacks.
> How can you regulate conspiring?

It seems to work pretty well in practice: testimony from other participants in the conspiracies, technical evidence (just because E2E-encrypted messaging exists doesn't mean it's the sole choice of people conspiring to commit crimes), ...

> people have the right to private channels of communication

This is an intuitively appealing idea (and something I think I personally agree with) but doesn't seem to be totally settled. But let's assume it is:

> [People have the right to] free speech over said communication

Well, no: free speech isn't absolute. That's why people are generally in favor of laws against plotting murders.
PS5 Is the Fastest Selling Game Console
It seems pretty clear that he is being jailed for being a whistleblowers. The case brought against him seems incredibly flimsy. Its retaliation, plain and simple.
It depends on which country, there were multiple attempts, there is no "one" communism, but generally "NO".

The USSR after the revolution was literally called the Soviet Union. A "soviet" is a council elected by workers. Basically workers would own the means of production through soviets, and they would join together as a larger governing body. Unfortunately, the autocrats and populists took control and killed everyone; or as in Russia, illness also helped kill the vast majority of able-bodied people which really screwed their production. But I'm WAY oversimplifying.

Why Your Website Must Have a Marketing Specialist
I think your first line is pretty provably false - "Money can't buy you love" exists as a saying for a reason, some goods and services aren't translatable into monetary values so while money represents the value that humans ascribe to a lot of things it isn't all encompassing.

And if you don't like the "soft" counter argument above then externalized costs also nibble away at an understanding that money represents the value we ascribe to costs.

I do think that carbon taxation is probably the best resolution to pursue - bringing all those long ignored factors into the actual costs of goods forces the market to respond them - however other approaches to speed this process along (and bridge areas of the world where taxation is politically difficult) seems wise as well.
