Is there any sane reason to choose C++ any more? Crystal is such a better AOT statically typed OOPL.
Once you get used to the type notation - which is far better than any of the ones I've seen bolted on to Ruby - it really is a breeze getting stuff done in Crystal compared to Ruby. The only downside I've encountered so far is, as with any newer language, the number of 3rd party libraries available, but I think this is balanced by the easier availability of C libraries (far easier to use than for Ruby) and considerations like portability and speed etc.

Now, I pick Crystal before Ruby where possible, which is the vast majority of the time.

“Don’t ask about this girl, if she even exists” (2020)
I see why you're offended now. It was not my intention.

I don't think I can describe it in words. Like I said, our egos stop us from taking the idea too seriously, perhaps out of a survival instinct. There are some drugs that will cause "ego death". The part of your brain that distinguishes between the self and the other literally ceases to function. It sounds metaphysical and silly, but when it happens, you understand how insignificant your ego truly is in comparison with the world, and yet it tells you that it contains every perception that tells you what the world is, and it's only when that ego stops that you can see that the world, including you, can go on without your ego.

So, just like intimate moments with a lover, or a musical instrument, or blessed peaceful moment, you are allowed to forget about yourself. That is my understanding of intimacy.

What is yours?

I would gladly accept a lower overall-career comp at a smaller tech company to work on something I personally had a ton of interest in.

I take a middle ground - I agree that intuitive design is good especially for the typical non-techy user, but I also love designs that marry that with expressing the truth of the underlying system and not getting in the way of people who do actually want to leverage their understanding of the conceptual model of a program for power use. Most UIs fail to achieve both, and end up either too dumb to be useful or too complex to be widely usable.

Speaking as a guy with a full fledged gaming PC and a quest/quest2, the quest was the device that really sold VR for me.

PCVR is nice, but has it's limitations. Location is a big one. my desktop is located in an area with no space. Being able to go to a different room with my quest and just play drastically reduces the friction of the reality-VR transition.

You of course get different annoyances like fidelity/battery, but the freedom of truly wireless VR is a massive bonus.
> macOS, Windows or any other zero-config operating systems

??? Windows and Mac are way more work to set up than Linux because they fundamentally lack systems for managing software comparable to a decent package manager. Everything is a manual, pointy-clicky nightmare, sometimes lightly papered over with hacky hodgepodges like Chocolatey or supplemented with third party tools that are a bit better on macOS but still have to fight against an indifferent base system that cyclically breaks them (Nix, Homebrew), but ultimately still a mess.
Causal link or no causal link, this definitely lines up with what I've observed among people I've met. A lot of depressed and anxious folks that are vegan or vegetarian compared to the 'go to church twice a week and watch football' crowd.

But it very well may be an "I'm depressed / anxious, and somehow that is linked with me wanting to become vegetarian/vegan" rather than the other direction.

Either way, if I was very depressed or anxious and vegetarian or vegan, and I'd tried a lot of other interventions, I'd definitely consider the option of returning to meat like trying nutrient dense meats like organ meat (heart and liver are great) that are often thrown away or discarded because they are less marketable, or meats that are going to be trashed whether I ate them or not (expiring, or leftovers from someone else's meal? or some grocery store food donation program), and see if it gave me any respite.
Not all people without an address are "incapable of functioning minimally in society", even ignoring the profoundly undemocratic implications of what you're saying.

When I was working as an archaeologist, I often lacked a residential address. I had a stable job, supported local communities, and generally met residency requirements, but establishing that in the normal ways was impossible. I've also had at least one ballot rejected as a result of similar clerical issues.

My point is if you're concerned about an existential crisis then worrying about the birth rate in one specific country doesn't really make any logical sense. Global warming is a global problem and nationalistic thinking is not how this problem is going to get solved.

Landing a FAANG interview is easy (I graduated from a low-tier state school and have only done startup & government jobs). Just don’t say anything crazy during the recruiter phone screen and they’ll let you in.

I did mediocre on the interviews, they were undecided on whether to hire me or not. They sent in a take home problem. I only spent a few hours on it, but easily could’ve spent weeks perfecting the solution.

Anyways, if I had 1) prepared for the interviews and 2) spent the entire weekend on the take home project, I probably would’ve passed.

And even though I didn’t get the offer, they still ping me about every six months to see if I want to apply again.

Just try applying and see what happens!
The military-industrial-consumer complex was created by the universe for the sole purpose of supporting the tiny contingent of otherwise non-productive consciousnesses (physicist) who are in a race to document the system in high fidelity before the edifice crumbles - the "system" being the one set of physical constants, out of the infinite number of permutations that didn't make the cut, that resulted in a semi-stable universe.
Quest is basically a game console and not a peripheral. Even "dumb" non-standalone HMDs like Index have complex software stacks for tracking, input and rendering (compositor). HN loves the narrative of a VR device being "just" a monitor but that's really not the case. If this rule is applied to VR as it exists in 2021 (not 2013 DK1 which kind of was a 2nd monitor + HID) then it has to apply to all PCs, game consoles, smartphones, IOT devices etc. I'm not saying that legislation shouldn't happen but it does have ramifications for users and for security. On Quest you could do this, but social features and store might stop working at some point, and newer games and applications would definitely stop working, especially ones that use new features implemented in software like hand tracking.

TLDR this legislation could be fine but it would have to target Windows, Android, Steam, Playstation, Mac OS, etc and has ramifications that eventually software might just stop working. It might accelerate the push to move everything to the cloud also and make all devices dumb terminals that play video.
Insurance companies have been offering discounts to install tracking and hard acceleration detectors for decades. None of this is new.

As a safe driver, I welcome these types of discounts based on good driving habits. If you do something associated with risk, like a sudden stop, then you should change your behavior.
The people resisting mandates and passport policies are contributing to the well being of their society more than I think this comment understands.

Postgres text search: balancing query time and relevancy
>Just the fact "grind Leet Code" is a recommendation to someone who's most recent job title was CTO and has written two books may be a sign these interviews are broken.

This comment and those further down (particularly doubting the data) suggest that you're experiencing strong cognitive dissonance. There are, I'm sure, hundreds of engineers on HN that can testify to exactly how much FAANG pays and in which metro and how little experience they had (not including LC) before they started.

The claim that hiring is broken has been constantly repeated since ~2010 and yet all of these companies somehow, despite hiring all of the wrong non-CTO people, are still alive and are in fact thriving. Like I said: given how consistently these mantras are chanted I'm just curious what you're expecting to have changed since the last time a post like this was made (you did say "every time I see..." so you've certainly seen many). It's a little like that episode of parks and rec with the reasonabilists where they keep predicting and amending the date of the end of the world.

Don't take this the wrong way, but, having helped several people through the interview loop at FAANG, my experience is that it is frequently the ones that see themselves as above grinding LC, that have the hardest time making it all the way through. And I don't mean wrt wrestling with how tricky some LC problems are (most everyone struggles with eg DP) but with marshalling the discipline and patience to actually do enough to do well during the interview.

It has been said before but my personal experience reflects this: it is of absolutely no surprise to absolutely anyone that those that can grind LC fare much better once on the inside and facing the sheer abyss of complexity of FAANG systems.

As noted in Time's February cover story, the Democratic party clearly outflanked its opposition in 2020.

"That’s why the participants want the secret history of the 2020 election told, even though it sounds like a paranoid fever dream–a well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information. They were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it. And they believe the public needs to understand the system’s fragility in order to ensure that democracy in America endures."

"still missing crucial features such as fractional and consistent scaling"

This has very little to do with Wayland and mostly has to do with the apps and the toolkits. I haven't really seen many Linux native apps that are able to function correctly at a non-integer scale. The rendering of these apps may have to be entirely changed and refactored to use floating point instead of integers. That a big thing to ask every app to do. The hard part is doing that, and then it's trivial to put a flag in Wayland (or XWayland) for an app to say that it supports it.

How A $2M Condo in Brooklyn Ends Up with a $157 Tax Bill
Reference [4] from my comment was about Kik. I think we agree there.

Also, FWIW, reference [2] from my comment was about Ripple / XRP, which I figured if any crypto project was a security, they were, since it was linked to a for profit company. I was not surprised to see that they were charged.

Anyway, I'd love for the SEC to say BTC is not a security, when asked a direct question about it, however, they have not yet, which is one of the reasons why I don't agree that the regulatory framework is clear, yet.

Ethereum also did an ICO so it probably was a security to start with (Gary Gensler said most ICOs are probably securities), but then Ethereum became decentralized enough, so then it's probably not still considered a security. So where do we draw the line for new projects? If they aren't prosecuted within a certain amount of time, then they are fine?

This is what I mean. It's a nuanced discussion. I don't think there should be scams, and it would be great if the regulators protected against bad actors. I agree that new projects should not market themselves like stocks / securities. However, in my opinion, not all cryptos should be considered securities. Based on all this, would you consider Bitcoin and Ethereum to be a separate class of assets? This is what I'm trying to get at. We can't group all crypto into existing securities laws. There probably should be regulation, but let's be clear about which ones are and which ones aren't. I have yet to see that clarity from US regulators.
Unions make sure everyone gets paid fairly equally. That doesn't work in a top heavy profession like software engineering where the top are 5x better and paid 5x more than the bottom.

> does it have direct application for training nets faster?

That's a great question! Unfortunately not yet -- though we believe further studies may bring us there finally. We found (at least for simple classification tasks) the features seem to have a two-stage behavior: a de-randomization stage to identify the best direction in the feature space; and an amplification stage where features stretches along these directions.

We've been thinking to identify a bound on the exit time of the first stage, and examine how it depends on different hyper-parameters, dataset properties etc, so that one may pinpoint how to reduce the time spending in the first stage, effectively making training faster.

> i.e. can the ode be integrated faster than backprop?

Also a good question, at this stage we need to estimate model parameters (the drift matrix) from simulations on DNNs. As future works we hope to explore if we can pre-determine those parameters so a comparison between backprop might make more sense.

Tesla controlling the data potentially proving their guilt (and liability as insurer of the guilty) is an obviously undesirable conflict of interests.

COL is part of this, but I think the things to consider are that software engineers are worth more based on the scale of our work, and network effects can drive up our market price. I believe the scale argument is self-evident, so I'll expand on the network effects:

By being in the bay area you meet a lot of software engineers and provide value to companies you work at by referring good software engineers. This ends up being worth a lot of money to companies (more than they pay in bonuses).

By being an engineer in the bay area it's also harder to be retained. Engineers here are pretty transparent about compensation and working conditions. If someone I know is working 50 hours a week or being underpaid, I make sure they have referrals to good companies as soon as they want them and they get a good job.

Speaking to engineers who've moved here from other markets, that kind of culture and network just doesn't exist in most other areas.
