Good example. TypeScript is a great language.
"Tech salaries" is a broad enough category that this sort of bias could very much still be present, particularly if the research by Hired wasn't controlling for level, seniority, etc.

I didn't read the report by Hired that this article was based on (because it's useless blogspam) but I did search for the word "control" to see if they were controlling for these sorts of confounding variables, and I came up empty-handed.

Pretty sure they are. Look at a map of San Jose and check out the areas around Quimby or Tully Roads in east(ern) San Jose.
If you ask the objective and measurable question of which neighborhoods tourists pay money to see, the answers are almost exclusively older neighborhoods,

That doesn't sound like a good objective measure of what is a "nice" neighborhood -- I visit a lot of places as a tourist that I wouldn't want to live in. We have the neighborhoods we have because people are choosing to live in them.

Some things, like a central car free housing core with cars relegated to the outside edges of the neighborhood sounds attractive on paper (and for some people in real life too), but when you picture yourself schlepping groceries 2 blocks to your house, or walking the baby out in the rain to the car to take her to the doctor, it's less attractive for living, at least to those accustomed to living in the American car culture.

But really, it comes down to the bottom line -- people prefer to pay less than to pay more. If houses in a cookie cutter boring neighborhood cost 10% less than the ones in a planned neighborhood that's objectively nicer, it's going to be a lot harder to sell those expensive homes. So the developer's not going to build them in the first place.
“Salary” data is often grossly misinterpreted by those that don’t understand how tech comp packages work. Most highly compensated people in tech don’t make most of their money from “salary” but rather equity (eg RSUs). “Salary” might easily be only 25% or less of their total cash-equivalent compensation in a given year. Seems likely this article is skewed towards jobs that get most of their comp via salary which (generally speaking) are not the most sought after roles in tech.
Assuming Bitcoin is a currency, it would have experienced hyper-deflation.

Under hyper-inflation, your currency would lose value at the end of the month because the price of everything has risen 50% or more.

Under-hyper deflation, the prices of everything plummets at the end of the month.

While this sounds great, deflation also has a negative impact on economies because people are less likely to spend their money today if they know it’s going to appreciate value at the end of the month.

If you’re interested this subject, there’s so many great resources that do an excellent job explaining monetary policy.

Salman Kahn of Khan Academy is actually a pretty great resource for explaining this stuff in simpler terms. Planet Money keeps their shows accessible and do a great job explaining the basics and backstory of policies and ideas.

Exactly, "IT worker" and "sysadmin" @ 70k are tech workers. So are FAANG engineers making $500k.
In the suburban neighborhoods built around cars I live by there are still many people walking around, kids playing and riding bikes, people growing gardens, lots of trees, and lots of friendly neighbors. Also if you choose to live in a smaller city (say < 500k?) the air quality can be quite fantastic. The quality of suburban life imo is a lot better than what people on HN tend to make it out to be. HN is rather hyperbolic.

Merge YJIT: an in-process JIT compiler
I don't get it, either. We also recognize that NBA guys are amazing athletes who few people could every dream of becoming, then why can't we acknowledge that some people are born better at academics? Do people really think that anyone can become Terrance Tao, who could clearly articulate what a group is at age 7?
Exactly. I took a 50K hit to my base salary (275k->225k) but I'm getting 400K/year more in equity. I was unintentionally part of the great resignation. I've seen many of my friends also leave FAANG after 4-10 years and be offered large raises by pre-IPO unicorns or other FAANG struggling to hire.

Any compensation article that doesn't acknowledge equity for tech is useless and I question their methodology.
No rethinking required. Just imagine if you're any kind of scientist and suddenly 2 + 2 = 5.3 and then two days later 2 + 2 = 4 again.

It's that simple. If there's no reproduction, there's no progress in any activity.
Sometimes the past hints of a future so far ahead it must have seemed mad at the time.

The Verbiest model was for a four-wheeled carriage, on which an aeolipile was mounted with a pan of burning coals beneath it. A jet of steam from the aeolipile impinged upon the vanes of a wheel on a vertical axle, the lower end of the spindle being geared to the front axle. An additional wheel, larger than the supporting wheels, was mounted on an adjustable arm in a manner to adapt the vehicle to moving in a circular path. Another orifice in the aeolipile was fitted with a reed, so that the steam going through it imitated the song of a bird.
The fact most of the speakers of the language have switched to a different accent (by the way, I feel curious why) doesn't mean a fundamental difference. Same letters and whole same words are vocalized differently in the US and the UK (and even different regional accents within both countries) and nobody thinks about them as different letters/words. Ł still is the same letter, a direct counterpart to L in English, German, almost all latin-based Slavic alphabets and pretty much everywhere. I bet almost every Mikołaj drops the slash happily (some probably even change the whole name to Nicholas which is the English counterpart) if they get a passport of an anglophone country.

Nevertheless I find it absurd it's 2021 and they still have to. It's almost 30 years since the introduction of Unicode in Windows NT and NTFS, probably also close to that in Java. Pretty much every serious programming language or database supports Unicode by default today.

I believe it's a bug in some app in the toolchain as Windows file system API is perfectly capable of handling non-ASCII symbols. I always cared to avoid using non-ASCII symbols and spaces in my paths (incl. always installing almost everything to a custom directory outside "Program Files") but c'mon, how many decades do we need to develop handling these reliably?

I would also consider Windows' inability to optionally change the actual home directory name and distinguish between the user's full (display) name and their "username" (which are 2 distinct properties in Linux) "feature-bugs".

You may be worth staying for the double major.

But what I’d probably do would be to become an open source contributor. Then you can share your github handle on your resume and a competent hiring major will at least check that and see what you’re capable of and give you a shot at an interview.

It’s going to be tough when for the same salary they can probably get a full CS major grad.

It actually loads way faster for me in Safari than the actual VSCode app. To be fair, Safari is already running when I try this versus a cold boot for VSCode.
CentOS Stream doesn't significantly change the up-to-date-ness of the packages. It's a few months ahead of RHEL, but RHEL (minor releases) move at the same pace as always, which is to say slowly, so a few months ahead is insignificant.

Fedora is probably better if you want up-to-date packages on a platform that's relatively similar to production.
Back in the day, I worked in a lab studying the effects of an alternative NF-kB pathway on osteoclast differentiation (osteoclasts eat up bone) and growth. One of the papers demonstrated that certain anti-cancer drugs (used in breast cancer, not the ones described in this paper however) drove up regulation of that pathway, leading to increased bone resorption (thus causing osteoporosis). Now, clinically, this was probably managed fairly well with bisphosphonates, however it raises the question of whether or not these types of combo regimens are going to lead to similar types of side effects.

Regardless of that, if the results in this article are trialed, I suspect this will go exceedingly well for therapies that immunotherapies have been hard pressed to treat (alluded to in the conclusion, of course). Kudos to the group, well done.

Actually I avoid non-free software as much as possible nowadays. My main use for a Windows partition is for occasional gaming and using that odd piece of software that doesn't have a good replacement that runs under Linux.

I understand that propietary things like the graphics drivers are inevitable to install on Windows, but what Riot does with their Vanguard anti-cheat system is crossing a line. If you look up the documentation on how to disable it, this piece of software loads every time your computer boots, and to enable it again the computer has to be restarted, so the kernel module can be loaded again. Most games will load any anti-cheat mechanisms when opening the game and run it only while playing. After you exit out of the game, every single process related to it is killed. This is different from having Vanguard constantly running in the background, with maximum privileges regardless of what you're doing.

Well, measurement is physics; mathematics is calculation (in a rather general sense). Incidentally, I think the word "calculus" happens to be more reflective of the nature of the subject than the word "mathematics" which seems to hide a simple notion behind an aura of mystery. "Calculus of Infinitesimals," methods of doing calculations using the notion of the infinitely small, is easier to guess what it is all about than when you first hear the mysterious "Mathematical Analysis."
Nice neighborhoods are not built but grown, pruned and grown in cycles of fortune that seem good in retrospect but aren’t within human capability to foresee predictably.
Apple likes to have their own platform tools (Swift, Metal, etc), but I wouldn’t exactly call ARM and PowerVR[0] bespoke.

[0]Yeah Apple says the GPU[1]is entirely their design at this point, but then quietly reached some kind of agreement with Imagination in the past year or so.

[1]Though considering how often GPU drivers need game specific updates and how fast GPUs change and improve, each GPU is almost like it’s own little bespoke platform.

Also, frequently quoted (by me at least): from an interview with Yuri Manin (http://www.ams.org/notices/200910/rtx091001268p.pdf):

> I must explain to you how I imagine mathematics. I am an emotional Platonist (not a rational one: there are no rational arguments in favor of Platonism). Somehow or other, for me mathematical research is a discovery, not an invention. I imagine for myself a great castle, or something like that, and you gradually start seeing its contours through the deep mist, and begin to investigate something.
> on their first attempt at making their own processor.

They've been making their own chips for over a decade now. The M1 is not fundamentally different from the A series, and in fact seems to serve as a drop in replacement (in the iPad Pro line).

That being said, this is the first time they're confident enough in their own processor to rewrite their whole desktop software stack and market what are traditionally mobile-exclusive cpus as being superior to x86 in the personal computing space. And in all honesty, for good reason.
Our ruling class is extremely moralizing. They aren't relativist at all.

They probably won't sell it but i can imagine them licensing access to the real time data and then other insurers could potentially insure the driver or some similar scheme

Indeed the list is far too long. So much so that, assuming it would be but seeing how short each item is I tried to stay interested and read through it all… and bailed about 1/4 through.

That said, IMO this is also a clear case where HN’s title editing is misleading. A common format for this might present somewhere between 5 and 20 facts, and someone familiar with these edits would likely assume that. Seeing the actual title made it feel as if the edited one is, in reality, the true clickbait.
That it's a special class of problems doesn't mean it shouldn't be solved by now. Time handling should be solved too; amazing that an iOS app can't get current correct GMT.
Thinking about it again, I think MoonPays biggest asset is their stored KYC data. Customers don't want to go through KYC twice so if they have several options they will go with MoonPay again. I think KYC will play a big part in crypto soon.
> Rather, a tab, at least when rendered onto a PTY, advances the cursor to the next tabstop — i.e. to the next virtual column that is a multiple of 8.

Multiple of 8 is just convention, though. AFAIU, it's up to the display software--editor, terminal emulator, etc--where to place tab stops. The kernel TTY and PTY layers don't know anything about tab stops, AFAIU. In the case of terminals there are control sequences available for programs to query and update the tab stops; but all the logic is still at the ends. Contrast that with line buffering and certain escape sequences, where character sequences are captured and interpreted by the terminal device driver.

Also note that it's tab stops, plural. The default tab stops are multiples of 8, but you can tell a terminal (similar to other display software, like MS Word) to place tab stops at discrete positions that aren't multiples of anything, e.g. 10, 12, 18, 27, etc.

It truly is bizarre. The amount of effort and research into this very difficult to answer, and ultimately not all that useful, question is insane.

In a fully free market, a group of employees is able to come together and bargain with a company. This bargaining can include saying "unless from now on you only hire people from our organization, you'll immediately lose all of your current employees." This is how labor unions that are the only people allowed to work for a given company come to be.

Of course, agreements between two groups of people can still be harmful to society. But in the above situation, you would have to get the government to interfere to make those sorts of exclusivity arrangements illegal if you have an issue with them. It's not surprising that in a free market, sometimes employees realize that if they band together they have enough power to negotiate terms that make them near-impossible to fire.
