One of the reasons why listed salary ranges for a role may be very wide initially is that interview performance can determine your level and hence your compensation. So you really have to wait until after you interview to know your true compensation range. Many companies usually don't disclose level outright when you are applying, it's usually a more general application you fill out initially (you'll almost never see an "L5" job listing). Once you know the specific level though, you can get much tighter ranges (by looking at sites like Levels.fyi – disclosure: I'm a founder). But even then, there are also out-of-band offers that companies can give out if you're a really strong candidate or have a valid enough reason (ie to buy out your unvested stocks etc), so should this be reflected in the range too? Then the range listed would become even wider and can misdirect people's expectations since not many people would actually get to that high end.

But then again even knowing that range is super helpful regardless, and the Equal Pay Act has been instrumental in helping candidates not get lowballed. And before that, employers basically always asked what your current salary was, which is still unfortunately almost a required question candidates have to answer in other parts of the world. So all steps in the right direction, but there is some level of nuance where job listings as they are today are slightly divorced from the actual role / level / team that you end up at.

We're working on building a job board specifically to help solve this. We plan to have roles within specific levels of experience and with much tighter ranges using the leveling standard we've developed as a backbone: https://levels.fyi/standard/

We're also hiring! And we list our salary ranges here: https://levelsfyi.notion.site/Levels-fyi-Careers-969edc750f1...
A big component of the Cold War era was NATO vs Warsaw, which has no modern equivalent.

China is trying to rival us economically, and at best is aiming to maybe increase its sphere of influence out into the Pacific Ocean a bit. But back in the Cold War, Capitalists and Communists were splitting the entire world into two spheres... a communist sphere and a capitalist sphere.

China isn't trying to spread its breed of nationalism across the world. Sure, its picking up African influence and Asian influence, but not quite in the same manner as NATO or Warsaw was picking up influence back then. If the influence is "just" economic influence, I wouldn't really worry too much.

Unfortunately, there's a degree of "hot" war and saber-rattling going on that I find dangerous. Its very different from the Cold War: its entirely focused on Chinese interests and not so much a battle of ideologies around the world.
From the CoC:

> Please be kind and courteous. There’s no need to be mean or rude.

> Even if you feel you were misinterpreted or unfairly accused, chances are good there was something you could’ve communicated better — remember that it’s your responsibility to make your fellow Rustaceans comfortable.

Us Norwegians are well known for coming across as rude. And especially since being mean or rude is a subjective thing, I feel it's highly likely I could come across as unintentionally rude to others. And according to that it's my fault if I do.

I definitely think twice before interacting with a community that has a CoC like that, because I don't need such drama in my life.
I don't know if your system has a defect, but I've used many, many Macs over fifteen years on all released versions of macOS, and I've never once encountered the issues you're raising.
Is there actually evidence of this though? Is crime actually increasing in places where police are decreasing direct engagement or are people just paying more attention?
There are two threat models:

- Virtual

- Physical

In the virtual threat model, difficulty needs to be insane, since any of 7 billion people can launch automated attacks on my server.

In the physical threat model, difficulty can be moderate, since the only people who can attack are ones physically here. My front door has a pickable lock, and my windows are breakable. My key threat is my crazy stalker ex.

Fingerprints are usually in the latter category, and provide pretty good security.
Looks neat. Does it identify itself to the charging kiosk, not sure there is any way of getting around that. Power reqs only, or serial numbers as well?
Hah, I’ve answered enough questions on SO that every once in a while I end up having to consult SO just to copy some code I wrote myself an answer. I guess in these cases I directly offloaded my own knowledge onto the Internet :)

The “own” snippet that comes up the most often for me is a binary-search implementation of integer cube root in Python - I know how to do it but the edge cases trip me up enough times that my pre-written answer is faster than trying to write it from scratch.
I don't understand why people keep talking about power performance per watt, do we know for a fact that a 90w Apple GPU would perform 4x faster if it was running at 500w? Does the performance scales linearly?

The other thing is price, the m1 max cost $5k here. You know what kind of PC you can get for that price? A 3080 MSRP is $700 and beat any mac GPU right ( and that's a GPU from last year ). 5900x cost $480.
Any company that wishes to compete with Starlink needs to be careful of costs. One reason OneWeb ran out of money is that they ended up spending 2X/satellite than their plan, in their fancy high volume factory.

You have not proposed a solution to this issue.

Your reply also stinks of moral realism which is a huge can of worms unto itself.
It was obvious flamebait. You may have had a more nuanced intention in your head, but those don't communicate themselves—the burden is on the commenter to disambiguate (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...).

The kind of thing you did post is statistically highly likely to turn into a nasty flamewar, so please don't do it again. Your reply here contains some of the same, though not quite as bad. Please edit this sort of flamebait swipe out of your HN posts in the future.
> The question is rather what one needs to know, to be a good software engineer?

As a JavaScript developer, which I am, you need to be really good at keeping up with trends. That's really it.

For most of this line of work your value is the ability to use a tool rather than engineer anything. About the time you attain mastery the industry will move on to another tool. Mastery of any skill takes about 6-10 years of frequent dedicated practice. The hot tool of the moment takes about 2 years to reach critical popularity, 6 years at critical mass, and then 2-4 years of eclipse by something else. If you aren't moving on to the next new thing your career mobility will erode until there is none.

Consider it from the employer's point of view. A good senior is worth about 4-8 junior developers. At first blush it would make more sense to hire that senior developer. Developers come and go though, and most JavaScript developers are extremely junior. Employers never invest in training except as a last resort to prevent internal obsolescence, and it costs a boat load of money to find excellent developers. So, just invest in junior developers as a limited value exchangeable commodity.

What I hate is that Facebook's intentionally nerfed reporting mechanisms keep it's customers from self-reporting.

For a period of time I'd get a post 'From %Person%, With some other %entity%' and they're less than interesting...and you CAN'T block it. One of your friends comments on a stupid post and the only option you have to send a signal is 'mute my friend for 30 days'...because the 'with' account always changes.

This actively makes Facebook unfun and had the great side-effect of sending my on a 2 week hiatus.

If I could block posts 'commented on by a friend, but has engagement above 100,000 people' I'd block it in a heartbeat...because the content has NEVER been entertaining, and has often been half-a step away from learning people's security questions....at scale.

My guess is this depends when you got into tech. I am a lifer and have been at it since high school; most of my peers got in through sheer passion, when it wasn't nearly as crowded

With The Martian, a later "classroom edition" was published with the profanity removed. Maybe he just wanted to avoid making a second edition this time.
They're mentioning their desktop because Apples marketing hype mentions the desktop, not because the comparison is actually valid. As you can see in the benchmark - lower power, proportionally lower performance.

To be clear - Apples M1 hardware is good, even great. It's just that Apples marketing hype is so over the top, and so many people buy into it so hard that people (such as me) still feel the need to bring it down to earth.

This article literally benchmarks a variety of low-level compute heavy operations and compares them with a Ryzen. It’s about as far away from your take as possible.
Yeah. I'm worried that they may have played their trump cards already, so to speak.

I wonder if future perf gains will come, game console-style, from areas besides general purpose computation -- specialized instructions / cores for specialized tasks.

Imagine an entire core optimized for Safari and its Javascript engine. Their next chip is called the "M1 Marathon Edition" and you get 36 hours of real-world battery life with Safari. And/or the iWork suite. And maybe they have a behind the scenes collab with Slack and select other app makers so that they can be a part of the "Marathon" program too.

I dunno, just spitballing. Not saying that's likely or even what I'm pining for, just one possible avenue once they've plucked all the low-hanging general purpose computing fruit.

Flexport was and still is a fast-growing startup. It's possible that you reached out 3 years ago, someone put you into the recruiting engine and things got mixed up. Most established companies have crappy recruiting processes, let alone fast growing startups. It doesn't mean they are bad places to work, only that they have room for improvement in their recruiting process. Maybe things are little better now. It's also possible you didn't interview well 3 years ago, but maybe you will this time.

Either way, why not give them another chance? Flexport has a lot of credibility in the tech space and can be a good resume item to move into other areas of tech. Besides, the hiring market is way better than in 2018... companies are desperate for good workers and can't afford to pass on them these days.

Yes, we had our post-truth period in history (fascism) and did not learn all too much. I am really scared actually where all this leads towards. You might also want to cite Lippmann as a predecessor of this thinking [1]

> At the Egyptian city of Naucratis, there was a famous old god, whose name was Theuth; the bird which is called the Ibis is sacred to him, and he was the inventor of many arts, such as arithmetic and calculation and geometry and astronomy and draughts and dice, but his great discovery was the use of letters. Now in those days the god Thamus was the king of the whole country of Egypt; and he dwelt in that great city of Upper Egypt which the Hellenes call Egyptian Thebes, and the god himself is called by them Ammon. To him came Theuth and showed his inventions, desiring that the other Egyptians might be allowed to have the benefit of them; he enumerated them, and Thamus enquired about their several uses, and praised some of them and censured others, as he approved or disapproved of them. It would take a long time to repeat all that Thamus said to Theuth in praise or blame of the various arts. But when they came to letters, This, said Theuth, will make the Egyptians wiser and give them better memories; it is a specific both for the memory and for the wit. Thamus replied: O most ingenious Theuth, the parent or inventor of an art is not always the best judge of the utility or inutility of his own inventions to the users of them. And in this instance, you who are the father of letters, from a paternal love of your own children have been led to attribute to them a quality which they cannot have; for this discovery of yours will create forgetfulness in the learners’ souls, because they will not use their memories; they will trust to the external written characters and not remember of themselves. The specific which you have discovered is an aid not to memory, but to reminiscence, and you give your disciples not truth, but only the semblance of truth; they will be hearers of many things and will have learned nothing; they will appear to be omniscient and will generally know nothing; they will be tiresome company, having the show of wisdom without the reality.

So this is not a new concern.
We know (more or less) exactly what the Pro desktop chips will be, in the same way that these laptop chips weren't much of a surprise - they'll be basically exactly this, but bigger. More of it.

> Musk talks about the bandwidth problem of accessing information.

Has he thought about using the eyeballs? I have it on good authority that the eyeballs have a standard fuckton of functional bandwidth.
I see that it doesn't work for some. To Rich's credit, he did mention during the presentation that it was unfinished. From my experience, Svelte and Three.js are a very productive combination. While the declarative approach of Svelte Cubed makes sense for generic scenes, for complex ones I prefer classic use of Three.js even if that means writing more lines of code.

I've used Svelte and Three.js recently for several data visualizations and the DX is very good. Shamelss plug: https://cybernetic.dev/ (HN warning: uses crypto data).

I think Rich will solve the current problems promptly now that he is working full time on Svelte at Vercel.
Yes.. software gets slower faster than hardware gets faster
It's an interesting choice for a book club. Due to the way the narrative progresses (you start with an amnesiac protagonist and gradually reveal backstory via memories) discussions could get tricky/problematic if anyone is reading ahead faster than the rest. Obviously all books have some risk of that but PHM is more challenging than most in my opinion.
Just anecdotal for me. During the protest phase and after we had a bunch of breakins at our and neighboring condo buildings, which was very unusual in the past. It was impossible to get the cops interested. These types of crimes probably don't even show up in statistics. I think Portland might be an extreme example because it's a very liberal city with lots of protesting and a poor police track record and now the situation has deteriorated a lot, lots of attrition and low morale.

This is exactly what I was doing, fwiw. I can't match up a lot of the extra calls to close(2) but if you're doing what find does you need to be calling newfstatat(2) to get file information. I'll look again -- there may be a way to get these faster. It was something I was going to propose putting into io_uring.
You are completely welcome. It's an absolute joy, that place!
In 10 years we'll look back on these kind of discussions and laugh. The idea that human productivity is a corollary to office 'presence' is now absurd. Industrial centralization was arguably economically and socially necessary for 200+ years (especially when the alternative was serfdom) but this isn't the 18th century anymore.

Large cities made successful by centralization have become logistically hellish and expensive. It's become largely illogical to live in one.

Hybrid is a fudge and will be as burdensome for employees as it will be inefficient for their employers. Those that have hybrid forced on them will have to get used to endless scheduling admin "...is Ted in today? Has anyone seen Ted?". And in a split '2 days out' v '3 days in model' it's be hugely wasteful to have offices empty 4 days per week per person.

Companies insisting on in-person or hybrid have a dependency on their local job market. Two potentially terminal pressures with this: their local market will atrophy as the most marketable people choose to work remote roles. And they'll be disadvantaged against remote-only competitors recruiting the best and most cost effective talent around the world.
You should maybe feel bad about how much time you are wasting squishing them, compared to using one of those electric tennis racket bug zappers. They clear a kitchen of fruit flies in minutes, while giving you a most satisfying sound as you send them to the great fruit fly beyond.
Yet even still under Rosetta, my M1 Pro can handle more than twice as much "stuff" in my Ableton projects vs. my 2018 MBP, all while barely heating up and without _any_ fan noise (whereas my 2018 MBP starts sounding like a jet engine almost immediately after opening any sizeable project).

So for me, its performance completely lives up to the hype. I don't think I'll need a new machine for a loooong time.
Just because you were honest with your partner about cheating on them doesn't mean they have to stay with you. That isn't a mixed message about whether your partner wants to hear the truth or not. You're not being punished for telling the truth about what you did, you're being punished for what you did.
Part of the problem is that most 401Ks have a very limited set of investment options. You get a short menu of choices arbitrated by a clueless HR person at your company and the self-interested financial company that manages the 401K plan: a bunch of standard mutual funds and index funds, some are semi-targeted (e.g. large-cap vs small-cap, whole-market, foreign-vs-domestic, target-date, tech?). If you're lucky, there might be a couple of different bond funds, and maybe a money market option to park cash temporarily. There's not often the flexibility of a regular investment fund (e.g. an etrade account) to go after other specific options or individual stocks and bonds, or especially any kinds of commodities, futures, options, etc.

I get the rationale: it's set up that way so that it's a "safer" investing option, because they're afraid people will make bad choices and lose their 401K balances. But the flipside is you don't get much flexibility in making the wisest or most self-interested investment decisions. The 401K -managing firms love it though, as they get to sell a bunch of funds that are often in-house and have fees, and the real free-market-trading investors like it because the 401Ks put a bunch of very predictably-timed money into predictably-common choices, and they can rely on this to gain a little advantage/arbitrage.

I too believe that modular energy blocks are key to price and technology competition. But tech vendors really don't like competition, so I doubt that this will be a reality unless forced by regulators.

Regular batteries began to be standardized in 1928 by American Standards Association (predecessor to ANSI) - according to Wikipedia. We can buy standard batteries in a variety of sizes. I envision a "modular energy block" as something much bigger than these "C" and "D" batteries. But small enough to still be picked up. Perhaps 40 lbs.

They say in the post that they are open for Rust team members to discuss this. So the "insiders" would be Rust team members, I think there would be some hundreds of people. (There are multiple Rust teams, not just Core and Moderation.) Together, they also would have considerable power over the Core team, as the teams have some power in a do-o-cracy sense of the word.
Anecdotally, I have heard horror stories of people running up huge sums of licensing fees without realizing it, and they getting charged/sued later.

It looks like you're getting downvoted, but I think it's clear that the woman's perceived role at the time was NOT just eating bonbons.

I think the fact that the cartoon portrays this in comedy and exaggerated form (just as the man's car is comically Too Small, and his "built to last" house's door falls off) underscores that the woman's role was perceived to be _infinite housework_ (rather than, say, coming home from _her_ job). Consider that her "help" includes the man washing a floor. In contrast, the wife (now relaxing) has handled dishes, meal planning + prep, laundry, ironing -- and the appliances there are portrayed as making that all that work take less time.

As someone with all those tools now, I can confirm that I have a hard time even keeping up with what housework I notice needs doing, let alone all the work that my wife does (and arguably should have to do less of). It feels like that implied portrayal of "wife sits at home goofing off all day because machines do all the real work" couldn't be the norm.
