Also if you become Celine Dion in Canada you should have no trouble moving to the US at that point.

But trying to become famous from the ground up in a larger country seems more difficult. Big fish in small pond theory and all.

I've understood that the army gives the not fit for service grade quite easily, because the people who are willing to go that far to avoid service could be serious trouble if they'd be forced to serve anyway. Back in the day many employers considered missing military service suspicious so serving and doing the bare minimum would be better than trying to avoid it completely.
Small town culture is a thing in Europe as well! I don't know if it's inferior but it's certainly different from the culture in a bigger city.
I agree, I think that "pirates" are basically made up of three camps; people who would pay if it was convenient, people who would pay if it was cheaper and people who would never pay anyways. I think the first camp is the largest and the only one really worth going after from a business sense. It's what I think Gabe Newell means when he says "Piracy is a Service problem"

Even if we buy your premise that actually putting teeth behind food safety regulations would cause a capital strike, that just provides opportunity for others to step in and fill the gap.

The Wiltshire 5000 indexes basically the entire US market. Take a look at its chart. It has lost more than a year’s worth of gains. I think if you look deeper, you’ll find that almost every public company is on the decline.

My ad experience has changed dramatically after I leaned into multiple browser personas.
In personal persona, I hate ads with passion and do everything to get rid of them (browser extensions, premium membership, etc). I value my personal time and the ads are totally useless.

In work persona, I suddenly have found ads are actually useful. Often find myself choosing to spend 30 seconds watching a YouTube ad because it is relevant to topics I need to be aware of as a CTO. It's clear my daily browsing history influences the ads I am seeing, and I see useful information. Been looking into SIEM tools lately, and via an ad I was just made aware of some data center appliances for security. I clicked to their website and browsed a while to learn what was available. When you have some real challenges to solve and the targeting is on point, ads can be a great news feed.

Clearly segmenting my browser history into one persona where I am actively looking for solutions vs my personal persona where I want to be left alone helped the feeds target me.

Still, surreal feeling to intentionally choose to watch an ad...
Shorting something propped up by insane levels of hype is a recipe for massive losses. As they say, the market can remain irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

Shorting things you disagree with morally is also a terrible idea, unless you also think they are bad business. I disagree with a lot of “money printing” tech on moral grounds, if I shorted those I’d be bankrupt.
Holy cow!!! This is amazing. Do you offer training videos also?
No. It would only be fraud if they knew the methodology was likely to be extremely flawed and there are receipts with executives saying “let’s choose this because of X nefarious reason.”

Eh, I've lived in small towns and major cities. One isn't categorically better than the other, they're just different. Your values align better with city life, but that doesn't make other cultures inferior (nor are you superior to the people who prefer them). I certainly appreciate the diversity of larger cities and small towns certainly aren't for me, but I can also appreciate having a functional municipal government, low crime rates, low poverty rates, dramatically less antisocial behavior, strong values / decency / civility, a simpler way of life, etc.
You have to be careful because sometimes productivity is just an illusion caused by accruing technical debt that you have to then pay for in time later. With database abstractions you often pay back this debt once the app reaches even slight complexity and you need to spend a lot of time understanding, debugging and refactoring query flows.

I think that has more to do with the discrepancy in time at work though as well.
If I make half as much as someone working 60-70 hour weeks (as someone who works 35 hour weeks), that makes a lot of sense.
I guess I just can’t think of a better way to describe some of the stuff people say about trans people. It’s rooted in a deep hatred that warrants the suffix, IMO. I don’t think “disagreement” adequately describes the severity. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've never understood why tech people think computers are going to improve education. Education is a human activity, you cannot replace a human with a computer. At best a computer is going to be like a book v2, plus multiple choice problem sets / test. Learning from a book is hardly going to be more effective than a teacher who can adjust on the fly to the students.
To be fair, HBO has consistently had an awesome catalog whereas Netflix has been unfulfilling for what feels like years.
BTW, that was literally the joke Dave made. That progress on LGBTQ rights was so fast that they can still use their white privilage against people who look like Dave if they are both white and LGBTQ+. Meanwhile people who marched with MLK jr had to march again in 2020 after Geroge Floyd's murder and in the 90s after Rodney King and again recently due to voting rights and racist redistricting laws.
Dave's mistake was he didnt take into account people who were part of both minority groups and face opression on two counts.

Yeah when it works as intended sure, but as far as I'm concerned, the FDA is another incompetent government organization motivated by playing politics. FWIW I do NOT want them gutted or neutered financially, but there's obviously some serious flaws in how they do things and I think that starts with holding people at the top of the organization accountable.
This is really cool and all, but I'd like to see them also rethink the pricing for cache purging...

Every option for purging other than purging by URL (which is practically useless if you need to purge html AFAIK, which maps to basically every extensionless URL) is locked behind an Enterprise plan. Not even the $200 business plan has access to anything more than that.

This has been the story of my life on Cloudflare. They lure you in with the promise of free bandwidth, and then lock out anything remotely interesting or useful behind what I can only imagine is a thousands of dollars per month Enterprise contract.

I've since moved on to BunnyCDN, which has a flat, reasonable bandwidth-based pricing and no feature locks, and have been much happier. Only complaint so far is their SSL certs support, which doesn't do wildcard certs, so I had to upload my own, which was a bit annoying, but manageable.

This is definitely true for the creative industry.

I used to be a professional musician, and now work at a well known tech company doing Production Engineering. I work remotely in Canada. I watched lots of creative friends move to New York and LA because that is where you have to go to really make it in almost cases.

I don’t think success in tech means moving to the US though. Lots of US companies will pay good salaries to remote Canadians. I live in Canada not because I don’t have the option to go work in the US but because the trade offs of living in the USA aren’t worth the increased salary to me.

The series overthrows a lie, but supplants it and feeds another one.

Screenwriting is complicated, but if you want to know more details focus on the "midpoint", where the truth/thesis is stated.

Essentially movies or series are sort of discovery tools to reveal an audience a certain truth - there is no point on being consistently lied to...

It's worth noticing that the FCC regulations were aimed at broadcasts when children were up (6am-10pm), in an effort to protect kids, not adults. Also, those regulations existed on the limited resource of public airwaves. There is no reason you couldn't start the Hardcore Porn Cable Network other than it would flop. There is no reason to use time-based filtering anymore, so making non-G rated content available 24/7 is no longer an issue.

If you need a fast loop in Python then switch to Cython.
That strategy is just a round about way to increase leverage. The interest rates weren't even that crazy. I think the highest I ever saw was 10%. Most of it gets offset from staking rewards from the collateral assets. I thought it was a good way to take out collateralized loans against staked ETH. It was great until it wasn't.
It is stupid, but I see this attitude in several people I personally know who are in their 20s. I'm talking about people who could afford to save or invest some money, but don't.

I keep telling them that whatever doom and gloom scenario they expect of the future will for sure be even gloomier for poor people than for those who have at least some money set aside.
I don't know the rules in the US but in the Netherlands the car is always at fault in case of an accident, unless it is proven the cyclist was at fault.

This makes the roads a lot safer for cyclists.

> However, for movies and TV shows I need to pay for like 5 services to get all the movies and TV shows that I need. No way I am paying all those.

These services are also very georestricted, even if you might want to pay, it might not be possible. What's worse is that streaming or lending services rarely adjust prices to match purchasing power.

If you're in the wrong country you'll practically pay three or ten times as much and get one tenth the content.

Any performance benchmarks between a simple C implementation of matrix multiplication like explained in the article and K one?

Story time: 2 years ago, right before 1st lockdown, I landed a client. A data scientist who had already implemented an algorithm which dealt with matrices, implemented by a previous programmer he hired. Said implementation was in Python, no more than 10 line altogether, which performed well when matrix size where small, like 10x10. But the problem was, his real work need it to have matrices of size 10^6 x 10^6. Not only the Python implementation had to be ran on a beast of server with 4TB of memory, it also took 3 days to finish. And while the algorithm was small in size in Python, its explaining paper was 4 pages in total, which took me 1 week to understand. And then an entire month to implement in C. But in the end, when all was said and done, the run time when used with real data was only 20 minutes and consumed only 8 GB of memory, though it did required at least 16 virtual processors.

Hence my question, in the end performance is what it matters, not number of lines.
Japanese apartments are furnished in a different way that makes them feel spacious even though they're tiny compared to apartments in the USA

My guess is the parent comment had a misconception because of that, or maybe because laissez-faire policies make Tokyo apartments way cheaper per square foot (you can take a job as a janitor in Shinjuku and easily afford a comfortable apartment within a 30 minute door-to-door commute)
Maybe, but the first one is certainly a good source.
Finland and Japan are much more homogenous than the U.S or Canada. Does it make them worse places? In some ways yes and others no. Diversity in itself does not mean much. Yugoslavia was super diverse.
How does Kotlin solve those use cases?

> Senior engineers are easily pulling 7 figures here, which means even taking into account your cost-of-living, you'll end up fairly ahead.

senior engineers are not "easily pulling" that amount anywhere. that's way outside the senior engineer band at FAANGs/unicorns. you need to be at staff/principal level to get outside of the mid six figures, which is very hard even if you already have a job at one of those companies.

that said, I do kinda agree otherwise. if you are making $200k (typical senior at normal company, between junior/mid-level at FAANG) and are a remotely frugal person, it would take a very unlucky series of events to get to "broke". the risk exists, but from a strictly materialistic viewpoint, the increased upside more than makes up for it.
It seems like your uncharitable reading was the one that actually intended, which is unfortunate. I guess that’s the perils of assuming good faith.

I do think it is good to be precise here, though. The human brain really seems to like viewing groups of people as hiveminds.
> currencies are subject to extreme pressures from economic actors (governments, banks, societies, businesses, ..). Therefore claiming that banks can simply be "trusted" to withstand these pressures (by strictly enacting some agreed upon policy) is a bit like closing your eyes on the real world situation of currencies.

I was merely pointing out that your statement about currencies also applies to (at least some) cryptocurrencies. Large mining groups refraining from securing 51%, or colluding with each other to similar effect, is the only thing stopping them from having the power to maliciously inject fraudulent blocks.

So yeah, BTC's proof of work scheme seems to have some conceptual flaws. I'm aware of innovation in the space, but none have caught on the way BTC or Monero have.
> I've been hearing that for years, and it's always six months away.

"hearing" doesn't really mean much since random people can say whatever, but the switch to PoS has never been claimed to be 6 months away until this year. You're probably confused with the beacon chain with successfully launched in 2020.
I grew up in suburban Midwest America. Monoculture is great if you're aligned with the monoculture, but it's quite miserable if you're unwilling or unable to conform.

I went on to start my career on the east coast over 25 years ago, and then the west coast (Boston / SF / SEA / LA). I'm now back in a Midwestern monoculture community because of family. It's not an easy cultural adjustment if you've acclimated to something that's not monoculture.

In my case, the appeal of large city blended culture is that (1) I can find my tribe much more easily and (2) the tribes all have to get along because there's no dominant tribe enforcing its norms on the others. (There's obviously generalization in this statement, but I'd argue that relative to a monoculture community that these things are more truth than not. SF, SEA and others have plenty of challenges, but IMHO it's in part because they've become monocultures, or at least tech has become the dominant tribe and asserts its will on other cultures.)

If you enjoy living in the monoculture you occupy, there's no reason to leave. Visiting or temporarily living in blended cultures will not feel better to you, as it causes more stress than where you came from. But it's very presumptuous to assume that others would find living in "flyover" country better than the life they currently lead.
Good. Lots of communities on the internet try to tie themselves into philosophical knots to justify piracy because they just don’t want to pay for things.
Replies so far are responding to the startup path to profitability question, but just how good are the usual IT jobs in companies where that's a cost center??

In all the ones I've experienced or looked at, not hardly as good as tech companies pre-FAANG, your "cushy job, fully remote, good pay and full autonomy with flexible hours" strikes me as an uncommon situation.
I feel a big part is which way the wind is blowing; the countries that are “desirable” have no reason to make it easy, in fact they have incentives to make it complicated and hard.

The countries that want people to come to them have reason to remove roadblocks.
Dart also does this.
Ask HN: What is the best language/framework for getting things done on the web?
Background: I’ve spent years learning “trendy” programming languages and frameworks. But now I just want to get things done.

Server rendered web pages, no fancy client side js, just good old websites. Quick to build, easy to maintain, just ship it.

So what are your recommendations? For a web developer that wants to be productive, not trendy.
Most of this is old hat but there's one claim I thought was interesting and decided to check, and it's laughably wrong:

> We’re talking [a measurable percentage] of the world’s electricity consumption, most of that has not been paid for. So the mining companies for the most part have been taking the cryptocurrency and borrowing against the cryptocurrency that they create, rather than sell it, because the market’s actually very thin.

So supposedly, the markets are too thin to support the miners actually selling their earnings to pay their power bills. Let's check the top two against 24-hour volume on coinmarketcap:

BTC volume: 1M BTC

BTC issuance: 6.25 BTC every 10 minutes, or 900 BTC in 24 hours, or 0.09% of the trading volume.

ETH volume: 8.5M ETH

ETH issuance: 2 ETH every 15 seconds, or 11,520 ETH in 24 hours, or 0.14% of the trading volume.

I don't think the miners have any trouble selling their earnings for fiat.
> Also, he says he came from a small town so I don't think it is fair to characterize him as a coastal elite.

I'm sure he came from a small town and perhaps the "Dylan is a coastal elite" take is inaccurate (I'm also not sure that's what the parent is suggesting), but the following seems pretty unambiguously elitist-there's no more charitable interpretation that doesn't flout reason.

Technically you can remove Safari from an iPhone the same way you uninstall any app, though I’ve never tried it (yet). Apple added the ability to remove built-in apps a few versions ago.

I suspect it leaves the guts in place, as Safari is used by the OS, but it should remove the ability to use it as an app.

No idea about android.

Why would you be opposed to individuals choosing to live as they will? Suppose I was trans, why would you be scared of or hate me knowing nothing else? I’m not trans, but I don’t get the hate, trans people literally don’t affect you a bit.

> There's a shortage of engineers that don't meet some incredibly stupid, ego-driven arbitrary gate-keeping policies.

I suggest you hire people who don’t meet the bar and see what happens. The reason your recruiters have dozens of resumes to sift through is because software engineers make bank and that’s not a secret. Most of those resumes will be people who don’t even understand what software engineering really entails and the extent of their experience will be editing a vb macro and taking an online Python course.

> Far less than 1% of these ever make it to a tech screen, and I think the rate of our panel interviews is in the low double-digit percent of that figure.

The majority of people who get rejected at this phase just nearly literally can’t program. I’m an engineering manager so I sit on on-sites once or twice a week and people with long careers that look good on resumes end up not being able to squeeze out trivial code because they haven’t actually programmed for 5+ years.

> There isn't an engineering shortage.

There absolutely is. You’re right that there isn’t a shortage of people who want the paycheck though.
0. Working with very talented people exposed me to a lot of ideas and concepts I probably wouldn’t have found. I’m self taught, most of my prior learning was unstructured trial and error.

1. Worked on distributed systems with externally imposed fault tolerance considerations. Designing around these constraints was painful, but forced me to learn how to learn the relevant technical terms and prior art.

2. Functional programming (in Clojure) taught me how to really think about data flow, and design around it. Limiting and isolating state is fundamental to how I work now even in imperative languages.

3. Static types (in TypeScript, which wasn’t my choice but which I love now) taught me how to really think about modeling data upfront, in ways I find more challenging in dynamic languages.

4. Working on several projects either focused on performance or with significant perf challenges has taught (and continues to teach) me how to anticipate where to focus either in initial design or how to approach performance-sensitive refactors.

Edit to add:

5. Reading a lot of code has helped immensely. Often when I find a project I’m interested in, I’ll read its source code in my free time. I’ve learned so much and been quite inspired, even reading through projects I’d never take on myself.
