I mean, trivially speaking, the reason you might see a continued mismatch is that supply is only one factor - demand is the other. Increased compensation is a factor of both the size of the mismatch in supply and demand, as well as the willingness-to-pay on the demand side. Willingness-to-pay is largely a function of the returns on that kind of labor, which are much greater for software engineering than they are for other engineering disciplines, and those returns are increasing over time, not decreasing.

And, like... we _do_ see that the growth in CS degrees granted (broadly speaking - the most granular data I could find is "Computer and information sciences") does slightly outpace other the growth in other Engineering degrees: https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d20/tables/dt20_322.10.a...

CS/CIS went from 43,066 in 2010-11 to 88,633 in 2018-19, while Engineering went from 76,356 to 126,687 over the same time period. ~106% increase vs ~66% increase. Of course, degrees granted are a lagging indicator; if you graduated in 18-19 you didn't start later than 14-15. It's possible that the rate of increased enrollment in CS has continued to itself increase, since compensation really only obviously went on a tear a couple years after that. Nonetheless I'm very bullish on the 5-10 year outlook for SWE compensation, to the extent that it's reasonable to make predictions that far out in the future.
The other posts covered the sheet sizes, but this reminds me of something I forgot to include in my article.

>You’re attacking a straw man. I never proposed anything other than recognizing the cost of encryption.

I assume you're referring to this sentence in my comment:

What you seem to be advocating is that everyone's
privacy should be forfeited so police can get
information without doing, you know, police work.

Note that I said seem. Which, in this context, means that's what I understood you to be saying. Thank you for clarifying.

What's more, I'm not attacking anything or anyone. Rather, I'm expositing my views WRT encrypted communications and police work.

That you interpreted the expression of my views as an attack says more about you than about me, IMHO.
Transparency is critical. If Signal cares about the ethics at least as much as the marketing then they did right by the ethics and by their bottom line.
Second time failed. Domestic tuition at Cardiff is £9K/year.
I know nothing about this and was surprised to learn leaded fuel is still a thing in any gas. Found this: https://www.faa.gov/about/initiatives/avgas/

Avgas is the only remaining lead-containing transportation fuel. Lead in avgas prevents damaging engine knock, or detonation, that can result in a sudden engine failure.

If engine knock can knock you out of the sky, it's probably not something you want to just take a chance with.
Signal does not absolutely require real numbers/ban VoIP/etc. You can theoretically sign up with a cheap VoIP number.
The thing is, your voice can also add to the din of noise that drowns out the signal. Not every vote adds signal.

Here the problem is when you go down the ballot and reach the judges, schoolboard, and other offices where most people have no idea who the candidates are and many just vote randomly.

In Arizona there was a campaign that unseated an incumbent schoolboard member by a rival candidate whose last name, if some letters were transposed, was a famous local figure. The funny last name guy won.

So go ahead and vote, but please leave blank or skip over any of the candidates that you haven't researched. Don't vote randomly - some people are trying to have a real election.
The use of “gender” to mean anything aside from the grammatical category is similar to the use of “god”, as analysed by AJ Ayer in Language, Truth, and Logic. Ayer points out that when people talk about “god” they have no coherent idea in mind, but are simply making a noise with their mouths. Therefore, he concludes, no statement that refers to “god” can have meaning, including describing oneself as an atheist. When I hear people making the “gender” noise I know that they, too, are babbling.

> We're comparing the typical outcome of a pair of parents with the best possible child those parents could have.

I'm still not sure I agree with this. There's huge variability between the reproductive fitness of siblings, even excluding genetic illnesses and deformities. Might be intelligence, body type, attractiveness, etc.

The real problem I see is that qualifying the "best" traits might be impossible, because what's best is highly subjective to the environment and the environment that we all live in is constantly shifting and seems to be doing so at an accelerating rate.

The film Gattaca actually gives an interesting take on how this drive for "best" might play out. Those born into the privilege of having the "best traits" a) don't feel as strong of a need to struggle and overcome adversity, b) dismiss people who are "lesser" than they are, and end up surprised and unable to compete when they fall behind, and c) people who are "lesser" are filled with motivation and drive to prove themselves. I could even see some parents intentionally giving their child a minor disability to give them an edge over their "perfect" peers who all flit their lives away thinking everything will be handed to them on silver platter. Similar to how some parents are starting to realize how damaging massive trust funds and inheritances can be to people that receive them.
It's estimated that more than 6000 people are working on Windows full time.

If neuralink/related tech ever gets to the point of mind-to-mind communication, without a doubt our law enforcement will claim they have the right to subpoena a person's thoughts. We may be setting a precedent now that is more important that we could ever think (pun intended).
all of it? That's a bit of hyperbole. What is a more measured thought of how much of a negative impact there is?

Certainly saying "I know that Janis and Nate talked on this day this many times / for this long" and "Janis and Nate had a detailed conversation covering lemons and lye" have two different levels of private information revelation; and E2E protects against the latter but not necessarily the former, so why does it negate _all_ the goodness?
Yes. And one take-away for me: when yet another article comes out along the lines of "floating point sucks, and here's a much simpler and better replacement", and the author doesn't mention Kahan and shows in detail that they understand the design tradeoffs and decisions made back then (in IEEE 754), then there's a very good chance that you can toss it.
> please would you elaborate

To figure out what political philosophy we'd need to know about their other, non-far-right-wing, views.

By definition and context, their other views are either mild right wing, neutral or left wing. We'd need to have specific information to classify them. It is impossible with only one, context specific and relatively common, view.

> i think you're willfully misinterpreting here to try...

Given I'm literally correct, a safer assumption is that I'm the sort of person who cares about being literally correct? Far-right isn't a verb. And racism against brown people is an extremely common thing across the political spectrum; it isn't enough to characterise someone as far right.
Not an expert, but I believe this is a widely studied area with a large body of literature. I say this because I've seen articles with similar conclusions going back decades. You can probably find many by searching Google Scholar For Occupational sex differences or selection

I think that's true about surviving versus thriving. I have a bonsai nursery and 'bonsai' is one area where there is a lot of serious interest.

Sometimes simple is better even when the results are less spectacular
Seriously, actually read the article and the paper rather than doing the ol' HN comment analysis. You'll see that they're very different. The article suggests that alternative digital media use alone discourages political interest, but it is in fact both high alternative digital media use and mainstream media use. The article highlights but one aspect of the multifacted paper, and misinterprets it.

Seizing upon a pretty common expression of frustration and imputing mental health issues, then recommending fucking YouTube of all things, is an interesting move. In these unprecedented times, I think it's in even poorer taste than it usually would be.

And what do the facts, evidence and rule of law say about those accusations?

Considering MacOS seems to be an aging spaghetti-BSD under the hood, there's no doubt any serious attempt at the server business would come with Apple submitting patches and documentation to major kernels like any other chip company. AFAIK the M1 architecture can be targeted by Clang and GCC and some people have reversed engineered support for the Linux kernel[1].

Even just the slang evolving can make the nominally-same language into something alien. My parents' '70s slang from a specific Italian city is full of funny words that don't mean anything anymore.
This is insufferable. Your sentence contains the word "god" -- does that make it meaningless? No, because of the use-mention distinction.
In a smaller scale this probably would be very effective, however I can't see this being possible with bigger client volumes. Also, I noticed in my career some sort of elitism and looking at the marketing from above, which is driven by ignorance in most of the cases.
I was honestly concerned about whether I'd like the materials in person but I definitely passed out on it in various stages of construction to confirm I was going in the right direction.

I am confused: I thought just days ago the curl author was upset that OpenSSL had decided to stop working on QUIC, but now someone is pleading with them to stop working on QUIC, as if they were still working on QUIC, but I thought they weren't working on QUIC anymore?

(FWIW, as a user of OpenSSL, I am on team "don't put QUIC in OpenSSL". If they are going to prioritize anything, it should be DTLS 1.3.)

I was thinking about it, but before as an academic before I always had the option to remote work, just I didn't do it at home. The cafe, the museum, just bike to my best thinking place in the morning and then bike to the university for lunch and an afternoon meeting. I never really had decent work and exercise opportunities at home, so I would spend as little time as there as possible.

These days I'm no longer an academic but ironically I've been full time WFH since I switched at the beginning of the pandemic. So now I have a nice house with a nice chair and a nicer monitor than I could get in the office. And an oculus 2 for exercise, which works out (but might not be for everyone). And those second places where I did all my best thinking outside of home and the office don't really exist anymore and might not ever exist again :(.

> and overworked as the involuntarily designated quasi-stay-at-home parent.

Ya, being at home would be really a lot worse if my 4 year old wasn't in pre-K.
It's a pretty small app for some researchers. Front end is Angular, backend is an API in Bottle. At most, there's 10 people generating data, and about 40 people on reading data. Most times are 10 users uploading, and 5-10 users reading. The readers are external partners. Hashid is to obfuscate ids we have in another system so these external people cannot tie the data back due to privacy issues. It generates about 1000 rows of data across 4 PostGresql tables in a given day.

I like how the algorithm has been well supported across languages. We have no problems with it on the Python side. An analyst runs monthly reports using R against the data (so about 30k records pulled. Numbers are summarized and stats are generated. The hashing isn't a bottleneck at all.
It's 2021. There is no excuse to be using leaded fuel, just as there was none 10 and 20 years ago. If they don't want to implement reforms, the obvious consequence needs to be close down any operation still using leaded fuel immediately. You had plenty of time.

Leaded fuel is an obvious externality. As with all of those, there is no pressure on the ones causing the immediate harm to stop. Government action is required.
Your point is not intended to be serious is it? My comment also includes the word “gender”. As we both understand the use-mention distinction, what, exactly, is insufferable?
Mean reversion! Either the world works as you describe it or, due to momentum, civilization (either collapses or hits a golden age).
Looks like it randomly applies operations and reasonings rather than read the text. This sentence for example makes no sense and shows this AI has no understanding of numbers whatsoever, not even first grade level understanding:

> If there are 60 cherries to be shared, then Richard and Jerry will have 60 - 40 = 20 cherries each.
I think they're withholding features for the next iteration because there's no incentive to them to release a device with all the bells and whistles unless competition pushes them to. There's more money to be made like that.
house plant care is not that hard to automate (talking about water/feeding)... of course if you are doing bonsai culture, you will have to manually trim it (but I grew bonsai pepper plants with minimal care... no fruits yet though)
This is certainly not as squishy as most foam mattresses, it's not memory foam, the materials are pretty bouncy. Plus the buckling gel allows you to have good on-the-fly form fitted gripping locations. So to keep this HN appropriate, I'll just say no complaints here!
Great, I'd like to ask you some questions, as most talk I've heard along these lines is beyond vague. I'd be great if you could clarify some questions I have about the idea. My questions might be so off-base from your mental model of how things work they may seem ridiculous, but that would stem from me never hearing more than vague hand waves about "radio receiver" brains and such.

#1: What is the division of labor between the physical mind (PM) and the non-physical mind (NPM)? Eg, is the NPM doing all the thinking, and the PM is just carrying out the instructions? Or does the PM do some share of the work and the NPM just nudges it when need be, like making free will decisions?

#2: What is the NPM doing while the PM is sleeping? There is some metabolic reason for the mind to sleep 1/3 of the time, but presumably the NPM has no such need. Is it still thinking all that time, or does it sleep too?

#3: When the PM is damaged in specific ways, perhaps catastrophically, what do you think the NPM is doing? Does it get frustrated that the PM can no longer receive the full message? For example, in the case of an Alzheimers patient.

#4: By what mechanism does the NPM communicate its thoughts/wishes to the PM? Does it incur a violation of the physical laws in the PM?

#5: Likewise to #4, how does the PM communicate to the NPM so the NPM knows what is going on?

Because written communication is ambiguous, I'll explicitly state these are sincere questions.

> while throwing backwards compatibility out of the window for no apparent reason on a regular basis. They are pure garbage to such an extent that they appear to be deliberate sabotage.

This is exactly how I feel about Wayland. It is gratuitously incompatible and its proponents regularly lie about X to push it. Makes me think they want to give desktop Linux a finishing blow.
True, and there's nothing wrong with that. I think it's right and good to alleviate suffering where we can.

But we still stand to suffer as a civilization if the average quality of individuals doesn't improve, or even declines. Especially as the challenges we are capable of facing become more complex and challenging. Idiocracy comes to mind.

Then again, maybe our future is one where we develop sentient AIs that can independently keep civilization running, while humans can be left to degrade into a kind of pet that doesn't do any work and exists only for the benefit and good will of the AI.
It is interesting to see that the same high level problems still exist. Nvidia optimus still does not work, network cards are a hit and miss (though much better than 2011), desktop software has ways to go (looking at you, Adobe) and poor power management (No, i do not want to play with TLP settings).

I think Adobe is the biggest reason I went with Windows on my new framework laptop. I could have lived with others, but this is a deal breaker for me.
> Obviously no company is going to brag publicly about shooting themselves in the foot by reducing advertising spend, so the only possible anecdotes that can exist publicly are positive ones.

Coca-cola did just that, testing the impact of reduced ad spend in various media markets. They noticed reduced market share as a result and publicized it. Information is valuable. If you’re doing a test presumably it’s worth whatever you’re wagering to get it.

The supposition that it’s “obvious” that nobody would publicize this assumes everyone’s pathologically fixated on saving face and not, like truth or information.

Atheism is the negative space defined by 'belief in a god'. The position that 'god' is incoherent is in that negative space. Atheism is no more incoherent than your own comment, just for including the quoted word 'god' in its description.

Wasn't Ayer an atheist, anyway? I think you might be misrepresenting him.

Edit: Well, there's a subtlety here. The set of beliefs that concern god is an incoherent category (for the sake of argument), but the set of beliefs which concern 'god' is not. (I also think that theism is a fairly coherent category, one which describes people more than beliefs, but that's a different argument.)

How partial, covering, and multicolumn indexes may slow down UPDATEs in Postgres
To somewhat expand on the other answers: The only reason there are cars that "require 93 octane but can run 87 with lower power" is that they have knock sensors and ECUs that can limit ignition timing to avoid knock. This is a sophisticated system and nothing like it is available in any aviation engine, being designs from the 50s (except maybe some new experimental engines.)

The effect of running too low octane fuel in an aviation engine is not "slighly less power", but likely detonation and catastrophic engine failure.

And that's why it's a violation of FAA regs to run aircraft on non-approved fuels.
Hmm, I don't know much Farsi (but I can sound it out), the billboard in the article doesn't say anything about Khamenei, Google translates it as "free gas at the Jamaran gas station"... I'd think the Times would have someone on staff who could have checked that.

In legacy finance, when you pay someone with a check or wire, they get your account number and from then on can debit more from your account anytime they want, restrained only because you can dispute it after the fact. The obvious, reasonable way to fix this is to create a new ID number for each payment. We have computers now. The friction you like here is doing the opposite of protecting the customer from abuse.
