Salaries won't decrease until the demand of people to work in tech eclipses the demand of society for new tech. This works both ways. If a ton of people suddenly become interested in coding, this could pop the bubble. And if society suddenly stops demanding new technology (perhaps due to some catastrophic hack), then the bubble pops as well. The scary thing is that the latter is probably more likely to happen than the former.
Well, one would imagine that the externalities are mitigated by the fact that they are spread. AGW isn’t even bad for that region: abundant water, solid local government, improved arable land.

Exactly. In the 20-21 winter, there was one meaningful snowfall which stuck for two days. The “big” road nearby got plowed maybe once, along with the interstate getting regular plowing. That’s “good enough” for most people.

In the mountains in the PNW, there seems to be plenty of heavy-duty equipment for snow. But in the cities at 0 elevation, it’s just not worth the money, unless it starts snowing more frequently!

Sure hindsight help but regardless, a company such as Twitter should have experts at tracing that have tools and knowledge that goes beyond the average developer knowledge about tracing methodologies.

Nah, that wont work. How about we give everyone money and then those that are still employed are earning way way less than they used to in terms of purchasing power. That would be a much better equalizer for the middle class towards the bottom.
I live in a Calgary, which has some of the worst winters on Earth. People always gathered during winter. Yea, they didn't do it daily but they did it as often as possible. Precisely because social isolation is literally the worst possible punishment for humans.

Why do you think northern countries all celebrate Christmas?
The snow is also much more wet and slick in the PNW along the Puget Sound and down the Willamette River Valley than it is in many other places that receive regular annual snowfall. Mostly because when it snows in Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, etc. the temperature is hovering right at the melting point, so the snow compacts to a slick ice-like form quickly. Even up at the ski resorts on places like Mt. Hood the snow is damp and heavy feeling compared to the crisp and fluffy snow in the Rockies, for example.

That said, having spent most of my life in Portland and also most of my life driving in the mountains in the winter to ski & snowboard, I can confirm that people in Portland can't drive in the snow. It's almost as amusing as people driving in San Diego in the rain. :-)
IMO automatic differentiation shouldn’t be baked into the compiler, because that forces a bit of a monoculture around one AD system and forces you to accept the trade offs of that particular AD system.

The Julia approach has been instead to expose an interface for compiler plugins that any AD (or other ‘nonstandard interpretation / code transformation) library can access. There’s negative trade offs to to this as well, but I really like the way it’s turned out and I think it’s given us some fantastic tools for non-AD purposes as well.
Not really. An appartment alone is $2000 a month according to the post. That's 24% of your income at $100k, and not even 4% at $620k. I don't know how much people in the US usually spend on rent/housing, but anything under 30% of your income seems low to me.

Well, if they did it properly, it'd be like real life except without the commute.

They won't, though, because nerds will say "oh, I'd rather be completely isolated and only interact with others on my specific and limited terms".

So we'll just end up with janky 3D zoom calls in isolated rooms or something, as you say.

Technology is never the issue, it's politics.
Seconded.

There was a series of similar Twitter discussions when a popular JavaScript "influencer" published an article[0] on how they built their website. The amount of complexity that is self-inflicted in the said article was obviously enormous for proponents of MPAs.

However the JS community mostly echoed that the complexity was absolutely within norm. The cultural chasm between JS developers and people who push for simplicity was huge. And the refusal to admit the unnecessary complexity was nothing short of Stockholm Syndrome, imho.

I don't see a reason to stop doing so for errands (eg grocery store) - public places are high fan out, with people that I don't particularly need to socialize with, and keeping defenses up there helps my main goal of being more comfortable within my close circle. Furthermore if the pandemic did disappear tomorrow (I agree it won't), I would still wear something in public to mitigate facial recognition.

Close friends and family I've come around to wearing no face covering (vaxxed) - you're kind of already committed by being in each others' homes - and separating such visits by time. I agree that heavyweight masks don't really work for medium social engagements (like say a hobby group, or incidental conversation when picking something up from someone, etc), which is why I've moved towards the N95 on that front. I hate their small tight bands though. At least it's not a KN95 with the over-the-ear straps.

#13. Social Media with a Purpose made me pause - I have two Instagram accounts, and a Facebook account.

Instagram 1 is for family and friends. It's snapshots of daily life for family and friends all over the world.

Instagram 2 is for others that like me enjoy making radio-controlled replica cars and trucks from flat sheets of styrene.

Facebook is to let people who know me find me.

Why would one NOT have a reason for social media? Anything as mundane as keeping up with distant friends and family is reason enough, no? And of course that's going to forever remain mimetic unless you're a business. That's why there's the word "social" in social media, or did I miss the boat?

TikTok for entertainment. Twitter to be heard... I can't believe one would have any kind of social media account without a purpose. Even if it's showing off your wealth, or pretending to be something you're not - they're all reasons, no?
Is it a problem if CA uses an incredible amount of water if that water can be provided cheaply and in an environmentally sound manner? Sure, the current situation is unsustainable, but we don't have to focus on conservation and usage restrictions if we have a way to supply CA's water wants while reducing flood damage outside of CA.

What do you think is more likely:

- People voluntarily accepting a reduced quality of life by cutting back on water usage and forgoing water intensive produce.

- Using excess water from flooding in other parts of the country to replenish CA aquifers and support historical usage patterns while helping to reduce flood damage outside CA.

Right. And as a transplant, the places you come from have snow infrastructure to handle it. Where it doesn’t typically snow, snow equipment doesn’t matter. So people used to winter driving as transplants still wouldn’t be used to unplowed, unsalted roads.
The problem with Word is that it defaults to an interface that makes it harder than it should be and discourages the proper use of semantic styling. A price to pay for emulating advanced typewriter as default UI setting :(
maybe it's inadvertent, but by hammering on your perspective for how you think change can happen (which i can appreciate but don't agree with), you come off as normative, that we should all think and act the same way. it's brushing aside malcolm for martin, and only martin. but confrontation has a place in the constellation of approaches needed to move groups beyond shallow backwaters. confrontation is an exertion of power; it shifts fault lines. it creates the discomfort required to unlock stupor, the ossification of perceived hierarchy.

that said, i'm not really a revolutionary. i'll drop in a provocation from time to time to keep the sheep vigilant, but i generally nope out of most hn discussions around issues like race and gender. the ignorance, self-serving naïveté, and shallowness of those discussions are as gallingly juvenile as they are unrewarding. this isn't just an hn problem, it's a tech industry problem.
Ah, I didn't know they were different braking systems. Weird. But I guess that does change things a bit, there are definitely fewer cars with some form of "autopilot".
I don't know if this is accurate but I recall an article that said another significant difference between western WA snow and snow in the states that get seriously cold for a long time in winter is that the ground in western WA usually doesn't freeze like it does in the colder states.

When snow falls in western WA, the fall at the start gets melted by the ground, and the refreezes as the following fall hits it. This results in an ice layer covered in snow.

The states with frozen ground don't get that bottom layer of snow melting, giving them just ground covered by snow which is not as challenging to drive on as snow on ice.

So what we get in western Washington is that when it snows it gives us a particularly annoying kind of snow for driving. Combine that with us not getting snow frequently enough to get good at snow driving even in regular snow, and driving is a mess when it snows here.

> if you hate scooters laying around just wait until you hear about these things clogging up every road.

I love whataboutism.

I’m very fascinated to know how you live in such a fashion that you purchase food and other products that sustain your life that in no way utilize roadways. Or are you just virtue signaling and personally contribute to this road traffic you hate so much and is the real “problem” by purchasing things from the supply chain?

Roads are made for cars, so it’s expected cars use them for legal purposes like driving. What wouldn’t be expected is if companies began littering roads with their shit products and marketing which blocked the roadways and put drivers at risk of accidents. If I saw companies creating traffic through illegal littering and marketing that obstructs the roadway, that would bother me.

Side walks, running/bike paths are also made for specific purposes, those lawful purposes don’t include companies littering them with their commercial products and marketing.

Japanese politicians in the past have made the case that having a nuclear deterrent would be legal, and the country has the material, tools, and knowledge to build a MIRV ICBM immediately if TSHTF. In general, the population is against war and nuclear weapons because of what happened to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but I think that would change quickly if China invades Taiwan (for example).
Unless you are in Sweden and it's so cold that the snow feels more like concrete. It is "milled" in longitudinal direction, if I remember correctly, so that there is no flat surface but many small grooves. And they do have extreme headlamps, especially around the arctic circle. Driving on completely iced roads between trucks going 65mph can be quite an experience...

There's no question that equity valuations are due for a massive collapse, the federal reserve has even admitted this. But there are a few things that make me thing that software engineer compensation has nowhere to go but up:

- The world is becoming increasingly computerized. The demand for software is skyrocketing.

- Software engineering is extremely economically efficient. You can produce infinite quantities of a piece of software with no marginal cost.

- Outside of the HN / CS bubble, most regular people still think coding is either boring, stupid, or too hard.

I really think it would be tough to do this job without some major interest in computers that most people simply don't have. And you can't really fake this. This puts a cap on the supply of engineers.
I'm not good with analog circuits, but someone mentioned in previous thread that designing a 200 MHz wide filter that would have "brick wall" response to frequencies outside it is non-trivial, and technically the 200MHz is just the transmit range, not receive range...
As long as it requires strapping a headset to your face which blocks all vision of the real world, I agree with this sentiment. I want a full on holodeck level set up for VR.

However, I'm much more willing to accept a set of "glasses" that provides for a useable AR experience. The catch here would be that we can have the lenses still be prescribed corrective lenses. Build a frame that modern lens makers can make lenses for, yet still keep all the electronic wizardry.

This is absolutely the right approach for building web sites IMO. It's the best mix of whatever-server-you-want-to-use and minimal JS on the client.

I built my own (proprietary for my employer) general-purpose AJAX etc framework that uses minimal javascript to produce flexible, interactive web sites with 1/100 the bulk of React. It even degrades gracefully for clients that don't run JS. But I'm tired of maintaining it. HTMLX looks like an even better approach because it doesn't seem to require me to add explicit event handlers all over the place and it's open source so I won't be the sole maintainer.

Looking forward to evaluating HTMLX as a replacement for my stuff.
I explicitly qualified my comment, as you can see in the fragment you quote. Not every single country is the USA.

That's why the areas most considered problematic are use of radar altimeter in terminal approach stages and automatic landing combined with high C-band 5G transmitters close to airport.
Yeah, and all this drama vs actually you know, testing things in the 10 years they've had is rediculous by the FAA.

Seriously, just test it.

You have thousands of flights a day. On a day with visual flight rules put a transmitter at 4.0ghz, max power, worst case radiation pattern and land a 737, 787, A320 and A321 etc as a test.

There is something going on here that we don't know about.
Right. You're misunderstanding the quote.

In theory you should be able to take your private network anywhere there’s 5G.

> If you have a vague answer, dial it in immediately.

I think this covers most people's use of social media. Many at best have a vague notion of why they are on social media, or at worst have not even considered the possibility of not participating. "With a purpose" to me suggests forethought: Think about why you are on social media before participating (or before your next interaction), if you haven't thought much of it before. This is very different from coming up reasons after the fact, which I think is far more common.
