No comment on 3.

On 1, the point is that graphics and what you call game dev isn't really that necessary to sell or to be fun. It was in response mostly to people who for some reason think it is, especially those who think that "battlefield" or "the last of us" games are a different category of game. Idk, that sort of thinking is a big problem and part of why games have moved away from being fun and being what lead to the rise of "press f to pay respects" being a meme. Too much emphasis on very American thoughts of what makes a game good: graphics, intricacy or complexity, and too much story telling vs what actually does without fail, just being fun. The thing is making something fun is actually pretty difficult because it require ingenuity and creativity, while the others just require grinding and there is already a path forward. Again, I said this was a tangent because it is, I'm just tired of modern games just plain not being fun and being too geared towards being interactive movies with eye candy. The enabling (requiring) of 600W cards for a video game is just yet another result of this slide of the larger game dev space which is why I bring it up.

On 2, I know you're saying comparatively but really just compare to games from 10 years ago, 20 years ago. I remember talking to game developers who need to cut corners say they don't worry about handling memory for strings "that are just a few megabytes anyway" and sure may be you don't need to worry about that today but no, by an absolute scale gamedevs are neglecting things like string processing[0] whilst caring so damn much about graphics, so you can't argue that things are not more inefficient now. I get your points about 120hz 4k though, though honestly if these are the power requirements, then I'm starting to develop an opinion that 120hz might make gaming start to be an activity that is bad for other reasons, particularly climate change as is argued in other threads in this comment section.

Anyway, the general reason for this rant is again, AAA game devs are approaching a similar state like the js community, whereas instead of being caught in a cycle of churning frameworks, they're caught in an arms race to try to make things bigger and more "realistic" and eventually more resource consuming whilst getting their lunch being eaten by (relatively, in AAA's eyes) garbage looking things like fortnite, animal crossing, undertale, with vastly lower budgets. I want them to realize these massively successful games which aren't in the vein of what you think of being AAA diffuses the fog and makes studios which have gobs of money realize what actually makes games good and thus which will actually make them sell.

Ask HN: A US programmer makes 3 times that of a EU programmer. Why?
A quick google to compare salaries of a US software engineer with that of a NL (Netherlands) software engineer shows that the top segment on average makes €145,000 (US) versus €57,000 (NL). How can this big difference be explained?

I don't think it's a "Brazil" thing, I've been in Europe for a while now, I only mentioned where it was because maybe it's different between (Amazon) branches.

The current job I'm at was like 5-6h of interviews, it was hard to pass, but it didn't feel like the interviewers were trying to play "good cop, bad cop"
So to address the point of renewables and storage. Storage of the electricity produced by renewables is only needed when it exceeds demand. The UK is part of a European grid, and so a wind farm in Scotland only needs to store electricity if the whole of Europe is already running on 100% renewable. We've not reached that level so far, and won't for quite a while.
The ground clearance here is absurdly low. That seems like such a basic problem that it makes me wonder how practical this is.
I think a big problem is that places with deep rooted problems see quotas as a simple way to fix the complicated problem they have, and so implement quotas in a stupid way.
Seconded, that's a really interesting comment and I'd love to here more about it.
In English there's also the saying that "practice makes permanent" which is cautionary and I think more accurate.
> We could build such a format on top of JSON (there are probably multiple)

Wouldn't a perfectly valid JSON pretty print nuke your values since it could parse a 128 bit value to double before writing it out again? I wouldn't trust your theoretical format unless it ensured that normal JSON parsers, which are not aware of its requirements, fail to parse it.
>Nuclear is expensive yes, not least because all decomissioning and cleanup costs are included in the price,

Where do you live that these costs are included in the price?
Fossil fuels and nuclear power provide base load, which we need for a stable power system. Renewables do not. So if we want to elevate renewables to that of base load power sources, so they are functionally equivalent to nuclear/fossil, then we need to price in the cost of energy storage for days or weeks of no sun/wind to provide functional equivalence.
Ever heard of project Hercules? It basically consist of chopping off EDF in bite-size pieces to satisfy the appetites of the European commission on competition and the free market.

To some extent that has already been done, with the "old" fully state-owned EDF having been chopped into Enedis and EDF, and this will continue.

Stating that "Full clean-up and decommissioning costs are always included upfront in new nuclear projects" is problematic considering that it has never been done, and the cost of storing by-products is made extraordinarily opaque with a combination of private actors (Orano for example) that are ridden with corruption issues.
Also, it is just completely wrong that the cost of electricity takes all this into account.

Let's say that there is a lot of debate around the issue :)

I found the meeting lid increased as did a lack of decision making. But that’s mostly because there are too many facilitators and not enough engineers. Most of my career WFH has been built on solid in person relationships. So I do get the dichotomy. I think more on or off sites are needed for sure where people get a chance to work in person just to have the human connection and informal pieces.

Then everybody realized Docker was just idiosyncratic configuration layered on top of Linux cgroups and if they decide to encumber their base software we will just use the latter directly. And this is how podman/containerd/... came to be.

There are no gifts, Docker isn't owed billions for trying to monetize cgroups.

Wikipedia says [0] 'adjectival noun' was 'formerly synonymous, but now usually means an adjective used as a noun'.

Regardless, it's not an adjective, much less 'always' - it's always a noun; sometimes used attributively ('adjectivally' if you like) / as a noun adjunct, such as in 'Lego bricks'.

I don't see any data on the costs of grid scale storage capable of handling multiple days of no sun or wind.
let's not forget that it is a bet that will never play for the wealth of the french citizen. While most of the country is relying on nuclear energy and produce more than enough energy, the cost for a french person is around 50% more than American. Because electricity prices are European-based... once again the proof that european nations are only sovereign to the extent of what Germany decides.
There is not even solid definition of gender or woman. There is no way to enforce such quotas without being sexist and transphobic!
Yeah, it's extremely frustrating. It's like everyone's efforts to preserve our freedoms and control don't matter. All progress is undone because Apple's offerings are just that much more comfortable. It's a constant uphill battle against billion dollar companies who are always light years ahead of us in terms of software and strategy.

It sucks.
quotas might be a solution to various problems but in this world where there are stupid politics, greed, money over ethics we know it is good on paper and is worst on practical life.

A good example is India where quotas has been ingrained in every part of society and at the end many dexterous candidates doesn't get a seat. Quotas were introduced in India to alleviate poverty but now a days its just used by politicians to appease minorities. Quota were supposed to temporary but we know it is never going away.

I want society to solve problem not circumscribe at the problem and mark it as solution.

I like thinking about affirmative action because it shine a a light a bit on one's internal moral calculus. Like do you think institutions should award exclusively on merit, or on some other aspects of their mission?

The Nobel Science Committee could argue that their mission is the advancement of science, not necessarily the advancement of society or culture. For them, it's reasonable to take the position that the award should be given out based solely on the merits of the scientist.

On the other hand the University of Texas Law School might award admission based on other parts of its mission besides just the academic merits of its applicants. For example, it might preferentially admit minorities to advance its mission of increasing minoirty representation in politics. Or it might want to correct for the testing gap, or compensate for past wrongs.

>the author should both agree that a founder should slightly prefer the identical terms without a pro rata.

Framing in language like "prefer" is misleading the analysis of the situation.

The gp's point is there are unstated market forces of leverage that affects both sides ability to negotiate the terms they want -- but can't always get.

As other examples, consider "liquidation preference" or "50% ownership":

- Sure, a founder would "prefer" that there is no liquidation preference. But that preference is meaningless because investors won't invest money without it. Therefore the "unseen" alternate universe is the startup founder that convinced a hypothetical investor to pay millions with unprotected zero liquidation preference. Since that alternate universe doesn't exist, the current reality is that the investor has leverage on this term.

- An angel investor would "prefer" ownership percentage of 50% instead of 7%. But that preference is meaningless because most startup founders would not give up that much ownership because it's no longer worth it to build the company. The founder has leverage on this term.

Both sides want things they can't get.

Overlayed on top of this is shifts in leverage because of the balance of power between the available funds -vs- # of quality startups. If there's more money chasing the available startups with strong founders, they may have leverage to eliminate "pro rata". This wouldn't have been possible in the investing climate of 2008 when all VC funds got tighter with money.

France reprocesses spent fuel, already has the bomb, and has one of the best safety records of any operator, with no serious accidents.

Nuclear is more expensive comparing watts to watts, but Europe is learning the hard way that, without useful storage (the situation today), more than one watt nominal renewable generating capacity is necessary to reliably replace one watt from a thermal plant.
It's a very nice feature. I'm not quite sure of what metric they're using. Some busses can show real-time locations, others they obviously dont have that info. Sometimes it will ping me a stop early (if the stops are close together?). I do wish there was a way to either stop directions on the phone, or put it in low power mode. It seems to eat my battery on long bus trips if its just sitting in my pocket. On car trips with directions I'm often charging the phone. On the bus or when walking I'm often not.

In practice, there are still some annoying wrinkles. It often assumes I boarded a bus when I'm not quite to the bus stop. So I have to tap and swipe a few times to go back, find out which platform or when the next bus arrives. If you have a moderate walk to or from the bus stop, the walking directions are frankly bad. I often quit and redo that part as only walking to get turn by turn. I know the watch has a much more limited screen, but I end up having to pull out my phone for some of those specific details like the platform or when the next bus is scheduled.
Indeed, but when these hours are unpleasant they are an eternity, which probably tarnishes your memory of it.

Does the same thing happen in any other engineering or science career where you essentially considered past it by the age of 35? I can only really think of sports and maybe some arts such as pop music. And even then in sport its just the body that cant keep up, the mind is getting better and better. A defenders may lose speed but his ability to read the game gets better, similarly in cricket a bowler loses the ability to move the ball as quickly as they did before, but they more than make up for it by being able to put it more dangerous places and making it essentially unplayable.

Is it cost or ability?
Market economy. In the US there is a perception of shortage and so wages are artificially increased (as compared to other industries of equivalent skills/experience/challenge) to account for that perception.

The reason that perception exists is a misalignment between how developers are produced, the skills required by industry, and the things employers are willing to do to compensate for that supposed gap.
Same here. And it doesn't even do that very well. Imagine spending 15k or more on a brand new car in 2021 just to realize that the sound tech is borrowed from a $5 MP3 player from the early 2000s.
Over the decades that the French (and other European nations) have been using said nuclear power, how have they been dealing with waste disposal, proliferation and safety? I do not ever recall the French having a safety problem.
Russian elections once again had a suspiciously neat result
Well academy awards always had a female quota, and since inception not one female won overall best actor. Italy has had "Quote Rosa" since I can remember, and not one female prime minister. Conversely neither Tatcher nor Merkel were products of diversity quota.
To address the baseload question. Baseload for a period is the level below which demand doesn't drop. Baseload isn't a relevant figure if you're running a power network. The job of a grid operator is to make sure supply matches demand from second to second. What happens is that the grid operator uses the cheapest marginal electricity first, which is always renewables, then if there's still a gap it's filled with power from a gas power station. That gap is continuously varying, and gas power is needed because it can continuously vary in response. The point is that baseload isn't a relevant concept in balancing the grid, it's all about matching supply with demand.
This is why affirmative action was removed. And, it's also the exact same reason why affirmative action was put in place.

Gender and racial bias will exist regardless of quotas nor lack of quotas.

In the end the best way is just like a lot of hiring platforms, remove name, picture and any identifying references. As blind as possible is probably the most fair methodology.

Problem is just like interviews, though, eventually you need to speak to the person/team. It's where all these issues show up.

Better than nothing in my eyes.
Any selection rule (save random sampling) is inherently discriminatory in some way, and that is indeed the point of it. It is only in that trivial sense that the general statement "Quotas are inherently discriminatory" is true, if you want to go beyond statements like "sorting by price is discriminatory against expensive usb-cables", you have to be more specific with what precise context you are talking about.

> a few _million_ tons of nuclear waste

Massive exageration by several orders of magnitude.

They say in the link you provided it is less than 126000 barrel containers of material. Even if you overestimate at 400 litres per container (they will probably be some sort of sarcophagus vessel) that is about 50k tonnes of material, for more than 30 years of operation. That sounds pretty efficient to me.

Edit: misread that you were refering to the material specifically stored in Asse II

I actually agree with design choice #3: the authentication app should be tied to the phone and not the cloud account. Having to re-register your MFA app when you switch phones is exactly how I would design it too.

There's a chicken-and-egg problem here when people don't have access to both the old and new phone at the same time (or, as you say, they do a factory wipe), but to me that only suggests they need a different recovery process, not leak the customer's MFA secrets to the cloud.
Mobile BankID is running in the sim card, and transfers fine to new phones. Except the ones with embedded sims, i guess :/
Yea but not all the quotas are the same. Like this is a very specific example of a fishing quota, not an easily enforcible quota like ">12% black students enrolled". Also, points 1 and 2 appear (to me at least) to show the quota working as intended. (If Fisherman A overcatches and splits with Fisherman B who undercatches, that is the same as if they both caught the correct amount.)

And if, as you claim, it's impossible to know if the quota worked, it's also impossible to know if it didn't work, so I'm not sure what conclusion to draw from this special case.
I think it would be pretty easy to enforce a quota among the Nobel Prize cadidates, your example really does not apply to that. The question is more about whether it is a good or a bad thing.

Large areas of the west coast facing China are reclaimed land filled with very narrow roads and aquaculture ponds.

>Europe only has good public transport in very few selected cities and you have to ignore strikes in France to pretend its working well and is reliable.

Well, until recently I've lived in a very much French city for twelve years and I've never had to face a strike or any problem besides bus traffic being shifted around due to road work. To the point I've now got to get a driving licence in my thirties, as I've never needed it before. Maybe that was just luck.
> Wages are low and there's a massive number of young workers with more on the way.

Please, check again. Indian engineers are by no means cheap.

They had decades long experience working with the West. They know American wage levels well, and bargain to the end.
Yeah, personally my view is that if an OSS project contributes something new to the existing tool then it should be acknowledged on a place like hackernews.

Also, because acknowledging the project you built on top off recursively references other tools, there is no need to publish the whole tree. That exploration is left as an exercise to the viewer of the repo.

We already have dozens (hundreds?) of contaminated sites worldwide e.g. in Russia, China, the US, Japan, ... It's not a problem exclusive to Germany, in general most countries seem to be unable to come up with a viable long-term strategy for nuclear waste disposal. Maybe it's possible to dispose of nuclear fuel in a responsible way, but my hopes that this will happen are very low judging by all the nasty things we did to the environment in the last century.

Overall I'm pretty confident that in a few centuries (or even decades) people will see all of these strategies as really foolish (burying radioactive waste across hundreds of sites around the globe, dumping billions of tons of waste into the oceans, polluting the atmosphere, ...).

We don’t want other makers who are pulling data from Yodlee / Plaid / etc. or issuing cards & current accounts to have to reinvent the wheel like we did. We now enrich over 1m transactions each day.

Lots of companies come to us at the idea validation stage while they can’t afford to pay anything. In the past we haven’t been able to help.

We are really happy to launch this free tier today so you can benefit from our cutting edge ML & NER at a lightning fast latency regardless of budget.
