Maybe you miscrunched?

A 5x mortgage over gross pay should be just over 30% of monthly gross take home. Maybe too much for some, but not absolutely irresponsible - especially if you choose to stay in a stable housing market.

2.5x is completely ridiculous to expect - that’s going to be far below rental payments in most places that anybody would want to live. Its definitely not the norm. It’s obtainable in some areas of the northeast like Pittsburgh and the Midwest. But usually the catch is property taxes are outrageous.
I don't think that's a good analogy. The value of a CEO should be relatively well known before hiring into a company. CEOs are rare, and at the endgame of their career, so you're already pricing in the present and future value you think they will add to your company. CEOs generally can't job hop every couple years for a large double digit raise.

Most good engineers(especially early in their career) will be an order of magnitude more productive after a couple years at the same company, as they build up both domain knowledge in their tech space, and institutional knowledge that can't be learned outside of the company. And companies know the value of this experience. That's why you can switch jobs after 2 years for a 20-40% increase. When the market rate for your labor is 1.2x your current salary, I think that's called underpaid.

True, I had my doubts after the initial introduction. Although I don't understand the remark about extreme positions that need and get legal defense. Because those statements are indeed the ones needing it the most and what is considered extreme can change on a day to day basis.

But the essence is correct. What I find most interesting about some of these "left" causes are that they don't argue for any liberties. They most often do the exact opposite and advocate putting people under new rules. I think that is missing the mark.

Freedom of speech always needs defendants and that will never change. But that is not what the ACLU is doing.
I wonder how much of the effect is average vs. median. If you have a team of 10 people and you give a big raise to one of them, then the average will go up. But 9 out of 10 people will feel underpaid, because you did not give them a raise like their 1 teammate.
Prior to a recent promotion I was at ~6.7x. I still had some frivolous spending on going out and such, but I’m a bachelor. This was also before the recent inflation rise. Now I’m at 5x. Do I feel comfortable? Mostly… I work for the government so I’m not worried about losing my job, but rising inflation has eroded away the safety buffer I hoped to have with the increased salary. I’m concerned about how an expensive emergency situation could affect me.

BunnyCDN, Beluga, and KeyCDN seem to have pretty decent pricing.

If you want another free CDN, you could consider DDOS-Guard albeit with some caution.

If you can list a budget, type of content, and/or required features, I can provide a better recommendation.

I'm not a Native American, but I have an American company, but I can't open a local American credit card channel to collect money. The single customer unit price of my products is more than 10000 US dollars, which makes me helpless...
Hard to say you were mistreated without knowing how exactly your sales conversations went, and what you're doing with your application, but I agree this must be dismaying. Still, I would rather you pay a fair (but below market) rate for your bandwidth to keep Cloudflare free or reasonably priced for my smaller services. This has me wanting to keep using them.
> Unfortunately "not worth the trouble" mantra infected me and now I'm unable to do anything

I'm sorry for your loss.

Personally i was spending 1-2 hours every day making sure servers were running fine, drives were good, backups ran OK, software updates, and checking logs. None of those tasks interested me the least bit. I've run servers professionally for close to 2 decades, so i get enough of that at work, and considering that i can actually save money by letting someone else do it, it means that for me it was simply not worth it.

Instead, I use my "additional free time" to dive deeper into areas that actually interest me.
We often talk about this internally - how do we make sure we include jobs that aren't just SE. A lot of the problem for us is that engineering jobs are readily available and commonly support remote. From personal experience, I've seen companies that are willing to hire engineers remotely, but not other roles. With that said, it's definitely becoming more popular across all roles which is nice.
Try Cowon products, they are Korean and make excellent DAPs. Currently have a Cowon Plenue D2 in my pocket.
Perhaps I am too pessimistic, but I think even with healthcare or housing when the barrier is broken down the system would segregate into two. A public option (no/little barrier) and a luxury (pay to play) option. Which in this analogy is analogous to another ballpark for professional baseball teams being built with taller fences and more expensive tickets.
I agree with much of this.

I'll add, though, that the part of Google / YouTube / Alphabet that people continually forget in these discussions is the monopoly of the advertising space.

Infrastrucutre, contracts, metrics, standards, etc., all benefit Google (and Facebook) strongly. Together they claim over half of all online advertising.
This is a great idea (with implementing them myself resulting in limited success). I do wonder if such languages are better served as either embedded libraries in a target language (like lua runtime) or as a front-end for cross compiling to a target language? Ie better served as DSLs?
There are also non-Thunderbolt USB-C docks that support DP Alt mode. E.g. I had a Lenovo USB-C Dock Gen2, which uses 2 (superspeed) lanes for DisplayPort with HBR3. If a machine supports it, it can pass through 4k@60Hz. It uses the other two lanes for USB 3.1 Gen 2 10Gbit.

Though, I would always go for a Thunderbolt Dock. The extra bandwidth is nice (e.g. most Thunderbolt Docks support two 4k@60Hz screens). Also, Thunderbolt at least offers the option of using PCIe NICs, offering alternatives to the crappy Realtek USB ethernet controllers. Be cautious - even many expensive Thunderbolt hubs use USB Realtek. However, there are also models that have an Intel I210 or I225 on PCIe.

(The story changes a bit with USB4, since it can also optionally tunnel PCIe, but I wouldn't expect cheap USB-C adapters to do that.)
> It's a rule of thumb that your total debt should not exceed 1/3 of your income.

Unless tax deductions work very different in the US than they do in Denmark, that is pretty bad advice.

Here, sitting on a 60% mortgage loan that is many times higher than your annual income is genuinely a good idea for most people because of tax law. It’s not until you have assets that are worth more than your house that it becomes a good idea to pay off the entire loan.

Meanwhile having even a small “quickloan” that is 0.1% of your annual income is a very stupid idea.

I mean, if you don’t know finance at all then maybe it’s a good rule of thumb as you’ll never bury yourself in debt, but loans aren’t just loans.
Did you notice we are saying the same thing?: Slack’s mission was to be a knowledge base but, to date, they have failed to execute.

It’s not because mission statements are marketing bullshit that distract outsiders from an alternate nefarious goal. It’s simpler than that: your mission is where you want to go, but in many cases a business just can’t complete that mission.
You’re right, and I made a mistake. Looks like the average lightning bolt carries 1 billion joules, so 10^9, not 10^8, which does put it at 277 kWh.
This type of thing is only possible in an environment where there is roughly homogeneous values. When values diverge extremely on basic issues -- only 1 side will trust the tech owners not to shadow ban, astro turf, fake polls etc.
I guess they have to spend a bit on marketing? Creating the perception of "this bag is super great" probably isn't easy?
Reliable utility electricity in a war zone seems unlikely. Though big 'ol power plants make pretty easy and tempting targets (especially if you know your opponent relies on it to drive their vehicles).

This would be a great use case for space-based microwave solar though (if it ever gets off the ground).
If you're a senior delivering 10x the value of a grad, does it not feel fair to offer more than 2x the salary?

I'm torn tbh - there are various ways that a salary can be set, including the value people are delivering, market forces and in reference to others in the career ladder. There's a balancing act to be had, but I can see where the GP is coming from.
I think you mean 3x of your income, not 1/3 of your income. If it was 1/3, then someone making 100k would only be able to get a mortgage loan of 33k...

Or are you saying payments on debt (mortgage payments)?
What will just replacing the gas tank with batteries accomplish? The engine still needs gas.
My point here has nothing to do with CEO pay. Or engineer pay.

My point is that dev pay being off a few percent since 2020 because of high inflation does not by itself decide the question of whether they're overpaid or not.

Patrick Mahomes doesn't get a pay raise adjustment every year for inflation. That doesn't mean his $500m football contract makes him underpaid.

The grandparent comment reads as if devs are underpaid because their pay isn't fully keeping up with some unusual inflation since 2020.

Obviously tether and friends won't go down this path right?
> does this explosion impact the broader crypto marker particularly?

Yes, if a lot of btc is bought in this stable coin, and the stable coin is printed, to buy btc in order to pump up the btc price then if that stable coin loses its peg, it cannot be used to pump btc anymore. When Tether finally dies it'll take down btc and the whole industry with it
The main problem with the Windows Registry, is that it doesn't clean up after itself... Programs are unlikely to fully purge their settings, and even Windows leaves detritus everywhere (just look in the USB enumeration keys - EVERYTHING you've ever plugged in to USB is still listed there).
As other people have stated, you will have trouble finding other CDNs that will be as cheap as CF. That being said, you can always try to do it yourself with a couple of dedicated machines and install varnish on them.

But I have to ask, if you're doing 300TB a month how are you not able to afford $3000 for CF?
Not everyone chooses to extract maximum price.

And even if there is a real moat that there very likely is in Air Ambulance due to costs like equipment and maintenance, regulation and running costs. If you raise price too much someone will enter the market leading once again to competition. And probably worse long term outcome. It is likely one of the market where demand doesn't follow the supply, but might also follow the price negatively.
Ratio is usually calculated on household income. So it assumes closer to two incomes per household.

Where I live (Auckland, New Zealand) the average household income is just over $NZ 140k, while the average house price is around $NZ 1.4m.[1]

Be aware that if you include the taxes and mandatory insurances you have to pay (and your employer has to pay), you'd usually pass the six figures easily.

These cars have ranges around 400 miles / 600 km, and EV owners normally charge them at home regularly.

Cold weather or non-economical driving may reduce that a bit, but you are unlikely to need to stop to charge in any given day before driving 200-300 miles (300-450km).

If you plan to go another 200+ miles, a 30 minute break may be welcome at that point. Or if you're caught just 50 miles or so from home, just charging 5-10 mins should let you reach your home charger.

Anyway, for normal commute driving, most people rarely need to charge away from home. These stations are for longer trips, that most people do only a handful of times per month.
“mini” in the sense that it doesn’t do everything that curl does. curl does a whole lot. this tool focuses on more common use cases and makes them friendlier. plus with request waterfalls and assertions it does things curl can’t do.

the number of packages is a bit of a misnomer anyway. Artillery Probe is part of Artillery which does load testing, with multiple protocols, support for multi-step scenarios, publishing to a variety of monitoring systems (Datadog, Prometheus etc) and more. That’s what most of those packages enable.
I would say that if you are doing 200TB/month then $200/m was too good to be true. Sounds like you have just outgrown your current plan. Have you costed that up on other providers? I assume you where not doing that sort of bandwidth on GCP. It's a different billing model than most clould providers. If you had stuck with GCP the costs would have grown in line with your bandwidth so you would probably be paying the $3000 by now with them. CF could probably do a better job with defining what the products are though.
This is really fascinating. Seems to me to imply a state level actor if they had a $4 billion short position on a billion in capital.
Per the article her household has an income of meager 3 million/year so it goes a long way to preserve family budget. But she has a rich friend who buys those too.
$200/month is mind-bogglingly cheap for 200-300TB per month.

What are you doing with that much data that it doesn't generate enough value to be worth a few thousand per month?

Maybe CF could have given you a heads up sooner and communicated more clearly from the start. Part of the issue might be that they're making the assumption that their customers (generally more tech savvy) are aware of the value of bandwidth at that volume.
Its funny how many quirks of UNIX/C/etc go back to the severe limitations of early day computers. Which is why using modern languages like Rust and its compiler really feels like coming up for air.
Oops, I think my previous comment was inaccurate, and it's too late for me to edit it. It's only decoding that's quadratic, not encoding. Sorry for the confusion.

It's not really obvious (IMO) from the wording of the specification, but step 2 of the decoding algorithm is actually a nested loop.
Those non-Tesla speed numbers are only at certain rare chargers.

Remember Volkswagen Group hacking their own emissions tests? Reminds me of that.

Good luck traveling and finding those speeds. It’s more like “oh look we have an existence proof of a handful of fast chargers but none where you are going…” well, OK. I’d rather have a well built out network.
What a condescending tone. I guess you're an objective meritocracy absolutist or something. To me, it seems like anything but shifting the whole ladder would discount every year you spent at the company and your experience level up to whatever value your role creates. It means there's 30k more available per person, but maybe not for people already there, and that's a lower ceiling. Good time to consider trying to switch.
At first I read this and was really puzzled, thinking why would someone outright refuse a job working on cryptographic products? Like, say, the next Bitlocker, or a PKI implementation in web browsers, or something like that.

Then I remembered about cryptocurrency, and understood.

Even years on, this unfortunately replaced meaning of the term "crypto" still causes a double take!
What percent of people have fixed vs variable rate mortgages?
I have a Platinet 4 port USB 3.x hub/docker (USB-C uplink) that doesn't need a external power, however I didn't benchmark the speed, but I don't have the disconnection problems that I had with unpowered 2.0 Hubs.
Oh please, even if this conspiracy was real what does it matter? It's still an unstablecoin.
300TB is a lot. No idea what your business is. But that is a lot of data for a medium sized business.

I remember an article here about someone optimizing their cloudflare setup with something else and sending tons of data through some peering agreement. Its 2am and I don’t remember the details. Anyone else remember seeing that?
Actually, just because someone on the internet is wrong (me)... The "natural" scroll direction on the Magic Mouse means that the zoom does work in the opposite way to Google Maps. That's what I was thinking of.
I’m quite happy to hear that, as my wife and I will be visiting Monet’s garden later this month, along with our semi-reluctant son. (He’s 10. )
It is called data-oriented, but most part is about typing, a clever mixture of static and dynamic. Note that also a language like C# has a mixture of dynamic and static types. At least you can define all sort of values without having to specify an explicit type. I do not know how far C# goes into defining methods and functions over those types.

What are the semantics of assignment? Is is creating a reference or does it 'clone' the value. In some languages, it is always a reference, except if you explicitly create a clone. In some languages with immutable data structures, it is always a copy (or at least, it behaves like that).

I am asking this, because I have found this a common source of errors, which are often hard to debug, because at someplace in the program a reference is created where a copy was intended and that in some other part of the program, a change is being made with unexpected side effects.

In some relational database it is possible to define existence constraints and define cascading deletes. For example, if I remove an author from a database, it also causes to remove all books written by that author. Or you could define the constraint that an author cannot be removed, if there is still a book written by that author in the database. I feel that a 'data oriented' language should also focus on these aspects of data.

I started to develop a (still dynamically typed) data oriented language myself. It is still very premature without any implementation, but a description can be found at https://github.com/FransFaase/DataLang
Two centuries ago this would be the only customer type there was. Back when there were no middle class and the only buyers in some goods were the aristocracy and some nouveau riche.
I think that was simpler the easier thing to convey to code-illiterate lawyers and judges.

The quite extensive coverage in the IT press at the time -- pre-WWW -- was that MS demanded the full source from Stac during the "negotiations", and when Stac refused to sign, MS took what it wanted.

MS pulled dirty tricks repeatedly in the 1990s.

It stole from Stac, it stole from Quicktime.

It rewrote Hitachi's license agreement for MS-DOS so that when Hitachi bundled BeOS, it could not make it bootable.

It did the same to IBM to make offering a choice of OS/2 difficult to impossible.

It lied to Aldus when Aldus started work on a Windows word-processor.

It disgracefully pressured AOL to damage Netscape.

It lied and covered up efforts to discredit Digital Research.

And this stuff needs to be remembered, because it shows the character of the company, which is now giving useless junk out in source code form in its efforts to depict itself as friendly to FOSS.

It could not be trusted then, and it can't now.
I always liked your product. You put a lot more thought into it than most.
Hey, I'm Cloudflare's CTO. This doesn't sound right to me. Please forward the correspondence you've had with us to jgc@cloudflare.com and I will look into this internally.
Funny enough my first and only house was actually very close to 3x income at the time I bought it 10ish years ago and everything real estate seems crazy to me now...
I guess this just all opinion on both sides here, but personally I find the declarative JSON approach to a huge turn-off. I dislike json for anything I have to write and maintain manually. And I find most anything declarative to be rather miserable. Sooner or later, you want some kind of logic, so end up with these bizantine DSLs where doing something as basic as a conditional feels like putting a man on the moon. From terraform's HCL to ROS launch files, I have yet to meet a declarative framework that actually makes sense.
> learned early not to pick useless feature projects and cleanup work.

And that's why things slowly rot away. Cleanup should be a priority, otherwise it eventually slows down new feature work.

In fact, a project should not be declared finished until its inevitable follow-up cleanup tasks have been completed as well. Just like a party weekend is not finished until you have cleaned up the mess after. Somebody is going to have to do it, and if it's not you right after you're done with your deliverables, then somebody else will have to do it. Possibly yourself further down the road when you actually want to do something else more exciting. Just like doing the dishes. Nobody wants to start preparing a big meal by having to do the dishes from the week prior.

You expect 300tb for less than 3k? Even that's a steal. Try calling Akamai and it'll be 10s more. Even Keycdn is going to cost you 7k. Sounds like you're serving video and expecting it to be free and complaining you're getting a steal at Cloudflare.
We pay taxes in the EU as well. Often the rate is much higher than the US but it depends on the country.
Looks nice, one problem I have encountered is that I dont have much work experience so I am looking specifically for non-senior software engineering, but other than explicitly mentioning junior, I found no way to search specifically for non-senior entries and most entries I found so far are all for senior positions.
Unless your comment was sarcastic, I think you read in a diagonal.
Read the previous comment thoroughly please:

> Embedded guys try to understand and simplify...

It is indeed true that when you have limited resources, simpler - in the sense of better, more beautiful - solutions often emerge.
This is the actual problem we are trying to solve with Remote Leaf[1](shameless plug). There are tons of remote job openings posted every day on the internet and job seekers do not need to scroll through these long feeds instead we filter them by country and skills and send it to their email. At this point, we manually curate the jobs and tag them to provide good quality service for job seekers.

Floating toolbars were an interesting flourish to show off the capabilities of GUIs (Photoshop being the most famous application to take advantage of this). And with floating toolbars, the application switching model made sense. But when virtual desktops landed on the Mac, it was a ridiculous hassle to move an application to a new desktop because there's tonnes of windows to move around. Now various programmes that used to use floating toolbars have moved to use main windows that hold all the toolbars (Photoshop being the most famous application to have done this).

With multiple monitors more prevalent now, the application switching model is definitely broken. Command-tab raises all windows for an application across all monitors. This is super annoying.

I mean, even Gnome gets this wrong but at least there's a toggle to fix it. I hope Apple can come to terms with this and fix it some day.
