Another opinion: my first laptop was a Toshiba with a trackpoint. That was awesome. I was able to move the cursor much faster and more accurately than with a normal mouse, even disregarding the time it takes to move the hand between a mouse and a keyboard. When I first had to use a touchpad, years later, I was stunned that people put up with such an experience. Nowadays I am on a Thinkpad, but I still feel like Toshiba had it figured out much better. Somehow it isn't as accurate as I remember it from back then.
Haggis is great, but it certainly is divisive ;)

> most people won't move a few hundred kilometers to London to get the extra money

There are a bunch of logistical problems there though - London house and rent prices, for example, are ludicrous right now.
Athens is quite cheap, and doesn't get too cold in the winter. For the cheapest Mediterranean beach cities, there's Antalya and Izmir in Turkey.

It's easy to live under $2k a month in many of the places you mentioned. I lived for under $800 a month easy. It dropped even lower after I moved in with my current partner.

What matters to you? Air quality is not great in parts of Turkey or Serbia. I hate seeing cars so I may move out of Cluj soon. If you're gay, some regions will be too, uh, conservative. Weather... anything far from the coast will have all four seasons. I highly recommend cities with a large university presence - if you're young you don't really want to live in a retirement destination.
The SiC race began not today, but like 50 years ago, when it was first identified as a superior power electronics material.

It took close to 30 years to get commercially relevant SiC crystals in quantity.

SiC has a much higher affinity for impurities than pure silicon.

Another example of a discipline within semiconductor research when just takes a lot of physics PhDs, and engineers to keep banging their heads against the wall for decades until the problem yields.

The epicentres were close to Mansfield[1] which is a town of about 4,800. According to State Emergency Services (SES) reports in the news, they've had a bit over 100 requests for assistance, largely related to minor structural damage to chimneys and facades of buildings.

If you search twitter for "Chapel Street" you can probably find some footage of a wall collapse.

Nothing too serious all in all as far as I can tell. No reports of injuries that I've heard.

While there are plenty of small tremors in Australia that usually go unnoticed, ones that are widely noticeable let-alone alarming are quite rare.

When the leader of another country is on record calling for your genocide and actively pursuing weapon programs that can make that a reality—you might have slightly different standards on how far you might be willing to go for protection than other countries that do not have countries calling for their genocide.

Since WW2 the Jewish people tend to operate under the philosophy of “When someone tells you he wants to kill you, you should take them seriously” because the last leader of a country who decided to kill them and make an effort of it, managed to eliminate 2/3 of the jews that resided in Europe and about 40% of them worldwide.

I think that even though I am not Jewish, if I had that history and the current regional political climate…I probably wouldn’t bat an eye at a robot sniper since my moral standards would be shaped by a very real and very recent effort to wipe me off the earth. That could change a perspective and standard.

And I realize that Israel is not just Jews, but does anyone really believe that the phrase “Death to Israel” means “Death to the Arabs living there too”?
Hear, hear! When coding (or reading) vertical space is much more important than horizontal space. Reading 300 characters wide is impossible, consequently also code also has to have shorter lines. So if your screen is ultra-wide, you either split it into areas (for which laptop screen is not big enough) or just waste a part of it. Vertical space, OTOH, is almost always used 100%. That's why I have all my widescreen displays in portrait mode too - still enough horizontal space and amazing abundance of vertical space!

> Well, it was DIRECTLY followed by an assertion of intellectual laziness in the premise of the article, as your quote so helpfully shows. Perhaps if you were a bit less lazy you might have caught that?

You're confused. Those were my words not words from the article.

> Ah! An interesting assertion, considering that what you have repeatedly described as "an example of laziness" from the article could easily be described in another way, as my other reply to you hints at. For example, we could say it was "stubbornness" [1] or "passivity" [2] or even "dysfunction" [3] with as much justification as you use "laziness.

Some lazy actions may also be stubborn actions. I'm sure that you know this.

> So on what basis do you choose the one, and not another?

Are you serious? The word is the subject of the article, and the given situation was an example from the article that shows the existence of laziness, which is in contradiction to the premise from the aricle that was apparently created in order to sell books.

That's not a great rule. What's different between `xn--gckvb8fzb.com` and `bobs-blog.com`? And why would a person hosting malicious payload use the first domain name?

If anything the `xn--....` is a indicating a non-malicious name, since anyone spoofing another service would go for a generic name or something slightly similar to "google", "microsoft", "paypal", etc.

(Unless you saw "マリウス" in the link - but that's a similar story - non-english character sets are completely valid and popular. They're not indicating malicious pages.)

A true free market is where someone can hold a gun to your head and make you pay them whatever they want, and you gladly do so because you got rid of all the police who could stop them. In a true free market, the guy with the biggest gun and the most money can buy everyone else out, so that he now has a complete monopoly.

You don’t really want a true free market. You want a market with full price transparency. You want a market with lots of competition, and where no one in the market can get an unfair advantage over anyone else. And that only happens if it is a well-regulated market, which is a lot like a well-regulated militia.

I didn't use it myself, but I've heard "check in" used colloquially for what seems to be `cvs release`.
You say this like it's an inevitable part of life instead of picking just picking bad spouses or being bad at relationships.

When the husbands in these relationships lost their job did they try to get back out there? Did they help at home? Did they do anything about it? If my wife lost her job and showed no motivation to get another one then I'd probably divorce her too. Part of what I admire in my partner is her incredible work ethic.

Maybe instead of complaining about "gender roles" complain about people picking shitty spouses and not having hard conversations about these sort of situations before they actually happen.

I'm an outlier, I admit it. I don't think I'm Zuck's ideal customer, either.

I use FB to communicate with friends & family. That's it. Most of them post very, very seldom, and the really chatty ones, I just mute. Most of these people, I'd never hear from and they'd never hear from me, except for FB.

Whenever I read about FB's treatment of news, politics, and vax (mis)information, I think "why are you going to FB for that? There are a zillion better places on the Web."

Twitter is better for getting the political Zeitgeist. RSS is not dead, contrary to what you might have heard, and Feedly is thus better for almost every kind of news. This site, Stack Exchange, and Quora are better for more intelligent commentary. Why would I even try to use FB for any of that?

My cousin Ray had been (I thought) permanently estranged from his family, and he finally reconciled with them. I wouldn't have found out about that without FB. That's what it's good for. It also would not make Zuckerjerk nearly as rich.
Haggis is exactly what poor hungry me would've come up with and loved :D
I agree. Two years ago a slide at a Google I/O talk said "Coroutines first", and coroutine scopes like lifecycleScope are Kotlin only.

Jetpack Compose is the future of Android UI and is Kotlin only.

Insofar as bringing it into the app - from most apps I know of, new code is usually written in Kotlin, and the Java code becomes legacy (which is sometimes rewritten in Kotlin). It works well enough, compatibility with existing Java was important to the Kotlin team (for adoption and other reasons).

Read the Kotlin docs for more https://kotlinlang.org/docs/jvm-get-started.html . You definitely see some of the things mentioned when using both languages, like the JvmStatic annotation etc.
This is a documented case of a bit flip, not a bit flip from a cosmic ray. I'm still skeptical that cosmic rays actually cause issues for computers inside earth's atmosphere.

What are the benefits to companies for “hire and fire”?
Macbook Pro?
As a "wealthy techie", I have the opposite view: as much as it's not difficult to me to buy the things I need or want, I hate the amount of waste generated by replacing things before they need to be replaced. I currently have a 2018 Dell XPS13. I really want a Framework laptop, but my current laptop works well enough (I wish it had more RAM and a larger SSD, though, which is a big part of why I want a new one), and it's hard to justify that waste, even if I can sell or give my old laptop away to someone else who needs it.

WA can be transformed into native machine code in linear time, directly executed at (near) native speed, while retaining the VM memory protection barrier. No other VM can come close in these three properties at once.

If you're trying to integrate WA into a host language the easiest, fastest, and safest way would be to pick up one of the established well-polished compilers or interpreters and calling into it with a standard FFI interface.

Great name, but I'm annoyed to see that this is another one with "schematics" which are little more than components with labeled pins... it makes it really hard to find what is actually connected to what. E.g. is "PORT A" and "PORT B" supposed to be a single part, the MCU?

On the topic of e-ink, I agree with some of the others here that 4.2" (smaller than the average smartphone?) is far too small to be of practical use; even the first Kindle was 6" --- and replacement displays for them are a good option for anyone wanting to create their own eBook readers, since they have a higher resolution and can be made to display more shades of gray than they officially support(https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16140284)

Thanks for your kind comments :)

I was also surprised by the questions I got---this was only one place though, and I have some more 'salty' points to make privately. Suffice it to say that the interview process in that particular place was not nice for many reasons.

Concerning your other question, feel free to reach out to me for more details :)

What I can say briefly is that the process was (a) very quick, (b) very efficient, and (c) very friendly. Essentially, they screened candidates and quickly invited 10 of them to a scientific symposium day (online). We then had interviews with a larger audience as well as one-on-one interviews. All in all, the total selection process took about 3 weeks. People were extremely open and interesting.

Truth be told, I anticipated that I would not have a great chance at such a place; for me, this opportunity is highly appreciated because of the research centre structure---this makes certain things like funding acquisition easier than when being embedded at a university. So, yeah, the offer was extremely enticing!

EBI and BDI were not on my list at this point; I don't think they had vacancies at my level. I would have considered them as well, even though I am only aware of BDI so far...
That's why I said "superpower" - it's pretty rare to find someone reliably supportive.

> Unfortunately, not many people see repairability as a feature yet due to the toxic status quo

I’m struggling to see the feature in OPs article considering that they have gone through more laptops since I bought my MacBook Pro 2016 than I’ve owned laptops in my life.

Why was it necessary to replace a thinkpad every year, and what makes you think that the author isn’t just going to replace this one?

I have a feeling I’m going to have my MacBook Pro 2016 for longer than the author has this one.

I do support repairability, and I really don’t see why we let companies get away with ducking it over, but at the same time, there are now 3 different versions of the fairphone, sort of defeating the point of it. I’m sure frame.work is better than the fairphone, but I think you get the point I’m trying to make.

Unless you get faulty hardware, you’re probably better off taking good care of it. I mean, I still have an old 14” iBook PowerPC that works perfectly well with Linux. Its hardware is obviously not up to my current needs, but I don’t see why my current MacBook Pro 2016 won’t live with me for another 5 years at least. And by then I hope legislation has forced Apple into making things more repairable.

But there isn’t actually a very good reason to replace your hardware unless it stops working. At least not in my mind, and none of my Apple products have stopped working on their own. I’ve been luckier than some people in that regard, but I also still own a Sony tv from the early 00s that’s perfectly fine when hooked up with the MacBook so sometimes it’s also about buying the things that are tested so you don’t end up in one of the famous Apple recalls or the issues that come from them.

It’s very anti-consumption not to buy the newest thing, I know, but I sort of think the swap to frame.work for the sake of buying something repairable defeats the entire purpose of wanting something repairable unless you make the swap after your old machine literally breaks

This seems like something one would certainly share with ones partner. The authors yearning for doing the side project also seems like something that would come up in conversations in a healthy relationship.

> If I could give my younger self advice, it would be to NEVER go work for a company unless you were absolutely passionate about their mission. Never work for the money.

There's something more here I think. It's perfectly fine to just have a job that pays the bills. But it's not fine if you take that job home with you. It's not fine if the job takes a mental or physical toll on your mind or body. It's not fine to be married to a job. Any job IMHO, even one that you're absolutely passionate about or whatever. Even if you're saving babies and solving world hunger or whatever it's not worth sacrificing your family/friend time.

Personally I make about half as much money at my current job as my last job, but I work half as many hours, and there's no expectation of being a "team player" or "work hard play hard" nonsense, no phone calls at night or on the weekends, I don't have email or teams/slack installed on my phone, I have an office with a door that I can close. (well, I used to, in The Before Times) I make decent money (it's hard to get paid poorly as a software developer) but it's not early retirement money or fancy sports car money the way my last job was. I show up, I do my job, I go home. It's a nice company that does nice things in the world, but I don't really care.

And I know all about the feeling of relief the author mentions.

The idea of searching for the "perfect" job where you're passionate about working for such a wonderful company-- to me that sounds unrealistic. Like watching too many Disney princess movies as a kid and growing up expecting that you'll marry Prince Charming, or being pretty good at football in high school and expecting to play in the NFL, or the musician who keeps trying to get their lucky break. The world... well it's just not like that.
Homes are massive, illiquid assets with high transaction costs and (unless you have many of them) are poorly diversified. I'd even argue it makes more sense to look at a primary home as a forced savings plan rather than as an investment.
FYI this is an US thing.

I can second this! Without an intention to sound whiny, I am sometimes astonished about the feedback I get when I propose to work on topological data analysis---the topic is still rather new and nascent, so of course there's a certain amount of risk involved. But in my experience, when you try to apply for funding that does not explicitly mention this 'high risk, high reward' dichotomy, you are in bad position.

(that being said, I was happy to see that the Swiss National Science Foundation funded at least one of these proposals from me...but this was a pilot call, as far as I know, in which they were specifically soliciting these types of ideas)
