Yeah, I generally think of the word "thread" as referring to OS threads and/or "green" threads depending on context (and in this case I thought it was clear what you were referring to!), but since the person who responded to you made the distinction, I figured I'd use their terminology when explaining what I thought you were saying.

Android flagships are shipping with SVE2 as of this year, which I actually didn't realize until like two weeks ago because there's been nearly zero buzz about it. What's SVE2 being used for over NEON as of now?
It's even surrealer to me that my mother got a 30 year mortgage. She's 80. While I think she has an outside chance of living till 110 - she has really good genetics - I doubt the bank knows this... I'm not exactly sure what the plan is (though she is good for the payments so long as she lives).
In Marion Ohio zillow is now showing houses again at the 40K, 38K and 20K prices. Houses priced at that level were no where to be seen 6 months ago all the way back 10 years. Something is going on.
I barely eeked into my itemizing last year, and that was the first whole year of owning a house. I guess with principal reduction this year, I probably won’t qualify the next, and my mortgage is pretty large as well (as large as most living in a high COL area get).

Without being able to itemize, it might make more sense to pay the principal down, but my interest rate is low enough that I have to think if there is something better to do with extra money (we are already over exposed to the stock market). Also, Trump’s tax cuts for individuals will expire soon, so the bigger standardize deduction might go away with it.
I was using Sublime Text up until very recently. It worked well and I knew all the key bindings (that I cared about).

Once I started getting the nag message in the corner of the screen telling me to buy another license I started questioning if it was worth it. I went to VS Code briefly, it was fine, but it choked on large files which I sometimes need to work with. These files would crash VS Code, but Sublime was able to handle them, even if it took a few minutes. Native apps will always have better performance. These aren’t code files, I often just need to manipulate large amounts of text, and with the tools of a good text editor, it’s fairly quick and easy to just do it there. These are one-off things that will never be done the same again.

Recently, during a sale, I bought and migrated over to Nova. The git integration with the company’s on-prem system worked instantly, which isn’t something I can’t say for VS Code. It does have its quirks though… when doing a copy/paste of a block of code it always gets the indentation wrong, which is prettying annoying.
If you want to also support the ecosystem, buying both Adafruit and Arduino helps. Buying knockoffs is great if you're on a budget or need more than one, plus there are some really nice boards by "knockoff" vendors.
I wrote a "virtual desktop" application back around that time, which worked in the same way.

Create a tray-icon, and iterate over all the windows. Any window that was on "this" desktop would be shown, all others would be hidden.

When the user hit the key to go up/down through the virtual desktop list (I think there were four), we'd update the hidden/visible state of all appropriate windows.

Written in C using the Win32 API and only a thousand lines of code or so. It was a pretty reliable and useful hack at the time.
> you'd own the home outright

I don't live in Canada, not sure if you are right or wrong, but your claim is the exact opposite of the OP:

what happens in Canada at the end of the loan term is that the homeowner either sells the house and moves (and thus pays off the remainder of the mortgage with proceeds from the home sale, before starting a new 5-year loan term in their new home), or they refinance and start a new loan term.
I think so, maybe to also deny her some stock options or something lol. She probably thinks the whole metaverse thing is a boondoggle and pipedream of Zuck and he's mad now and turning on her.
I used to work tech support for a DSL company. The tools used to log customer interactions were slow and buggy. I taught myself VB to fix a lot of issues in the UI, and automate a large part of my job.

I taught a coworker (who had never touched any code before) some of it. After a few months he moved on to do data entry for another company. When I saw his title on LinkedIn change to "automation engineer" after a while I was curious and had to ask what happened. He had automated most of his data entry job. The bosses got curious and asked to share his secret which he did, got a fat raise and a nice title. Sadly, most of his team was let go, but I'm happy I helped him become a programmer.
I don't understand what you mean by "all value comes from risk." Could you give examples? I don't understand how, say, the value of some food you buy at a grocery store comes from risk.

Also, you say that "instinctually people get they don't want to become solved problems and known quantities," but at least a large subset of the population wants to be famous. And it seems like being trusted by people you know has its benefits too?

Mandating cash will result in less charging stations. Sending people around in armored cars to collect banknotes and fix additional vending machines is overhead. Driving around rural areas is a huge time and mileage suck. The demographic that can afford EVs almost always carries a bank card.

Extra amenities like rain shelters and bike racks are nice but divert money from the main goal of having more areas with enough working chargers. Non-Tesla charging stations are already poorly maintained.

I've discovered so much about myself journaling. Journaling allows me to listen to myself in a way I cannot otherwise do; it separates me from my thoughts & feelings, which gives me the perspective I need to see myself a different way. I can't reliably get this meditating the way I can journaling.

If you're a curious person, the habit of journaling is a fantastic engine to drive your curiosity inward, and is often quite fun and something to look forward to. It's also a great way to get better as a writer - writing 500+ words a day, and really thinking about the words being written, over a long period of time really adds up. I'm so much faster at writing than I was when I started.
Duetsche Bank was fined $700 million for helping launder $10 billion out of Russia. This is an astronomical sum and is merely one of innumerable cases of our largest government regulated banks assisting enormous crime at monumental scale.

Yet crypto, a very small industry in comparison to other sectors, is despised and singled out as if technology by itself is suspect.

Do Kwon may be a scammer and those that believed in a 20% guaranteed return may have been rubes. But crypto is a technology and financial crime existed well before the advent of crypto and will continue to exist whether crypto keeps existing or not.

I think there is a certain myopia among technologists because crypto intersects so openly with economic activity whereas the traditional financial sector is opaque and wrapped in credentialed white collar employees wearing suits. Human nature - greed, ambition, desire, and all - exists regardless of the time and technology.

One reason I am so intrigued by crypto is that for the first time engineers can hack on finance without any permission, licenses, approvals, regulations, borders, etc. This may turn out to be a bad thing. But I believe technology is neutral and overall I want to see how this experiment turns out.

And as you are seeing with Do Kwon, and hundreds of other cases brought by the SEC and other regulators, criminals can be discovered and brought to prosecution even in the crypto space. This is not an industry that is immune to prosecution.

So I’m apt to let the space develop. As engineers you are not required to work in the space just as you are not required to work in any other. Crypto has incentivized the research and improvement in decentralized systems, consensus, decentralized governance, advanced crypto specifically zero knowledge proofs and new curves not corrupted by government cryptographers. I am intrigued by what is happening and am not afraid by the negative events.

A 51% attack cannot take other people's coins. It can only double-spend coins owned by the attacker and there's no way to do a 51% attack without people noticing.
Maybe its subtlety. Not all thought crime is keyword oriented.
I don't know about others, but thanks to a combination of protocols, google and law-enforcement my trust on phones and anything connected to it is basically zero, despite being quite secure on a technical level.

You haven't seen a firm like Jane Street, Citadel/CitSec, HRT, Optiver, Jump, IMC, and so many more. Quant firms aren't just hedge funds anymore, they can also refer to market makers whose primary edge is not just models and traders, but fast and scalable software. At a top tier firm like JS CitSec or HRT, cash bonuses _start_ at 60-100% of your base, even for SWE. In really good years by the time the end of the year rolls around, you can expect 100% to 300% of your base in bonus. This was especially true in 2020 and 2021. I can personally attest to this since I was working at a top tier MM during those years.

This post's "bonus" might also be including the signing bonus with recurring perf bonus. Typically, these firms offer sign-ons but OP did not seem to indicate that. Even with this in mind, I would expect with 6yoe your expected first year bonus would be at least 100% of base at a legitimate firm.

And quite frankly, given the volatility we have had this year I would expect market making firms to make a killing. Wouldn't be surprised if market making firms post a PnL that rivals 2020 and 2021 and bonuses reach that 200% mark.
As a minority myself I’ve witnessed this more times than not
This is not quite true. A major factor that led to styles such as Queen Anne Victorians was cheap, mass-produced ornamentation. Prior to that, a lot of detail had to be done by hand. That meant that a Queen Anne might cost considerably less to build than a less ornate Italianate.

However, the biggest issue today is not a lack of ornamentation. Rather, it is a lack of thought. So many homes are now made without proportion, balance or scale. For instance, pull up a picture of a Victorian and, in your mind, strip away the ornamentation. You'll find that things just feel right, such as the size and distribution of windows, the height of each floor, the roofs, etc. So much of that is missing today, but it would be an insignificant cost to address (before a building is built).

I think of it similar to food. There are some amazing things you can only experience at extremely expensive restaurants. But you can also find amazing food for a couple dollars. It comes down to similar things such as balance. Very simple food that is prepared the correct way and balanced can be both cheap and absolutely delicious. But too many people don't care, so you rarely see it.

> Wind and solar provide only a few percent

Indeed, however this is all about heavy industry (producing gridpower), and about recent trends. Hydroelectricity is a way older industry than solar and wind.

Photovoltaïcs: from 0MW (2000) to 306560MW (2021)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_in_China#Solar_pho...

Wind: from 2GWh produced in 2005 to 655600GWh in 2021
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power_in_China#Installed_...

> run into real problems with the intermittent nature of wind and solar.

Denmark already produces 55% of its electricity thanks to wind and targets 84% by 2035
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power_in_Denmark

In China the effect of spreading-out production units is well-known since at least 2009: "Liu et al. investigated wind energy complementarity across China, demonstrating that whereas a combination of wind and solar resources over a given area reduces the occurrence of zero-power hours, wind resources alone are sufficient to provide baseline power production, if a large enough area is considered."

> the goal is really to decarbonize the grid

It is a goal, not the (single) goal. There are others criteria: risk, waste, cost, dependency towards uranium, decommission-related uncertainties, ability to export know-how with profit...
Did you respond to the wrong comment?

I have no idea what you are trying to say here sorry.
It is the same white collar suits pumping up crypto daily on CNBC. That's why I'm skeptical of it, just like people were skeptical of watered stock during the wild west days of finance in the USA.
Once again demonstrating that this puritanical push to purge all “bias” from machine learning models is a fool’s errand, and a transparently ideological one at that.
> From what I gather I was basically at fault for daring to somewhat disagree with burntsushi.

Not so much for disagreeing. More for engaging a lower-effort way (than the person you were talking to) and appearing to assume that burntsushi was coming from a place of ignorance.

> The whole "general-purpose regex engine" thing was moving the goalposts in the first place and not very relevant to this whole discussion anyway. EDIT: I'm not saying that these distinctions don't matter at all, rather what I want to say is that it doesn't make sense to implicitly call upon a subjective and arbitrary standard.

"general-purpose regex engine" is a direct response to "most regexp libraries are stuck in the 80s/90s". It's about why the regex libraries most people use (the general-purpose ones) haven't adopted the ideas that you're advocating. Seems on-point to me; on HN most readers will be mainly familiar with the general-purpose libraries, so they'll be thinking in terms of those.
>It's a matter of labor cost. Those ornate details look nice, but they're expensive to create, and expensive to maintain. When those details were popular, there existed a surfeit of skilled manual labor.

Yes. The lower class used to be much poorer than it is today, and the middle class much richer. Remember, through the late 19th century, most upper middle class families could afford to have a live-in maid.
So you don’t want to change that original “issue”?

Sorry, it’s not clear for me how just paying taxes changes that and if you do want to change, im really curious about your ideas.
>What if foreign power's soldiers board your ship? Acting like nothing's happening to not look "scared"?

Where does this comparison even come from? If these soldiers were not invited onboard, then it is clearly an act of aggression and some might say casus belli.

Flying drones over another sovereign's naval vessel in international water is nothing like boarding that same vessel with sailors. To even attempt to rationalize that as the same is just some sort of Simone Biles level of mental gymnastics I am incapable of comprehending.
The thought process that taken hold over the last several years... like the last 250?

Oh well maybe you think the civil war was fought on a nice delightful afternoon between tea and cake, and folks shook hands after, slaves were freed and everyone went home, and the president recommend soldiers to go get some tan in the south for the photo op next year.

Paper checks are just as traceable as direct deposit.

Lots of gas stations are already unmanned at certain times, requiring a card to buy gas. You can use prepaid cards bought with cash, however to get the same effect (as long as you don’t use the card for an online or traceable purchase, which charging an EV probably would be since chargers exchange info ).

no the freedom convoy scare was fake, he said- and it was. They were labeled terrorists and had donation funds seized.

Re 200k/yr down from 1mil was a bit hyperboic, but he literally referenced buying power. Ie what one million got you before has essentially been cut to 1/5. Again hyperbolic but not wrong.

Funny that a comment that didn't even properly read the one its refencing is itself disinformation.
If they come back at you with "I thought we were friends" they are not friends. Not every exchange has to be a transaction. As long as it evens out over the long term you are not being used.
Based on OP's description of the interview process, I would guess so. I don't think many firms just ask "leetcode + sys design similar to FAANG interviews" besides maybe 2sigma and Jane st. I would expect to see C++ trivia, OS, or networking questions if it were at other firms but if OP isn't in some low latency/front office role places might not ask that.
Also their push to try and make people work from the office again went down like a lead balloon.

> an environment where the only workable solution for employees to make their voices heard is to stage something like this

So much this. I’ve worked at a couple companies that at some point had a lot of leaks. In every case it was because employees had become disgruntled because there was no way to affect change inside the system.
> psychology of inflation is different than the past, because people have so little experience with it and don’t really believe in it.

This is called second round effect and it will come later, when people will spend and demand wage raises no matter what actual inflation rate would be then...

This is excatly what central banks are trying to avoid by cooling economy before inflation expectations got anchored and lead to inflaton spiral (in economic lingo)
I could ask you the same. You responded to

> in the end, it boils down to everyone just asking to see the passport or some other government ID, or a proxy for that (credit card, library card,

with a standard on distributed identity. That doesn't answer the question. I doubled down on what OP said. So if you don't see how my response isn't a follow-up, then the three of us are talking past each other.
The victim of crypto crimes are normal clueless people.

I absolutely loved and adored bitcoin as a technology from a technical perspective and all the ways it could change things for better. But what it had become is an abomination.

Also, “engineers hacking on finance” would've been very noble 20 years ago in a world where engineer/hacker was reminiscent of free software, mozilla, gnu, linux, wikipedia, etc.

Stuff like adding SVE2 can be great for specific applications but it's really marginal when looking at whole system performance. What's not marginal are the improvements in power efficiency and room for more cache that come with new process nodes. These chips are power constrained in almost everything they do, because of heat dissipation or battery life or both. Less power and more cache benefits everything automatically, not just the very few things that actually start using new SIMD instructions or other new hardware blocks each year.

If you consider Maslow's hierarchy of needs, you have "esteem" at a high place. Money becomes a proxy for that.

Big management negotiate higher pay all the time not because there is a difference between earning 30 or 40 millions, but because they need to feel their own "value" go up.

This is discussed at length in "thinking fast and slow", iirc.
The wise among us will put their wealth in index funds. The less wise may dabble in options and stock picking. The foolish may buy BTC and ETH. But not everyone who picks stocks and not everyone who bought BTC were foolish. And this is why letting me gamble my money on stocks, options, and crypto (or the casino) is not illegal.

I wouldn’t be opposed to forcing everyone who wants to buy crypto to sign a letter saying (paraphrased) “I’m an idiot and if I lose everything I deserve it”. I’d rather you let the individual gamble rather than ban all speculation and risky endeavors.
