Companies don’t exist for the sole benefit of their employees, unless they’re a coop. Capitalism doesn’t allocate resources based on “hard work” or some sort of social notion who “deserves” to be paid what. You get paid what the market determines you should be paid.

A company that pays everyone the same thing is overpaying a lot of people. That’s great for those employees, but it probably means the company wasn’t able to hire as many people as it otherwise would have. Either that, or the company has become less competitive and runs the risk of failing.

It’s perfectly fair to argue that you should be paid the same as all the other employees at company X, and it might work as a negotiating tactic. But if your options are $150k at global company X where SF employees at the company are making $300k, or $75k at local company Y, what would you choose? Company X probably knows what your options are.
There are always plenty of ideas, the hard part is figuring out which ones are worth any of my time. Right now I'm working on a spreadsheet that turns everyday spreadsheet users into programmers. The absurdity of the ambition is not lost on me.
Could something like this - running in essentially a totally sandboxed environment, like webassembly - be Zig's sweet spot? I think of Zig as a very developer friendly, powerful, fast, fun, low level language, without the strict safety guardrails of rust.

For some applications, rust's borrowchecker is not something you're going to want to be without, but is "memory safety" actually a concern when compiling to web assembly? In that case, is Zig all pros and no cons? You get its easy to use interfaces for allocation and working with raw bytes, but without the chance of memory vulnerabilities, like when running in a sandboxed browser environment or Cloudflare's V8 isolates?
I’m not sure what argument you see me making. I’m also not ignoring anything. And I am most certainly not trying to convince anyone of anything. In the comment you are responding to I am talking about how I view language constructs and their impact on my view of semantics. I don’t have an argument to make.

The closest thing to an argument I am making is that iterators are a different language construct than a basic looping construct. If you disagree that’s fine, like I said, I’m not trying to ‘win’ anything or convince anyone of anything.

Edit to refer to sibling comment — As I said in a sibling comment, the iterator loop construct is syntactic sugar and that’s why I was saying it is different from discussing a more basic looping construct.

Yeah I mean I haven't read that book in probably 15 years, so I may be making shit up about it at this point given how my memory is... but I definitely see corporations behave that way and internal governance goes completely to hell when they're flush with cash.

Hey don't throw shade on quasiparticles, they're people too.
(recent Xoogler here) There is quite a lot of freedom, though if you do custom stuff it's just not supported. I usually replaced the desktop, installed a custom terminal app, etc. There is also a lot of freedom in IDE choice - you can use literally whatever you want, it's just that the support is crappy if you don't use a supported one. And Vim support was IIRC completely volunteer based - there was no vim team, just people working on plugins and building releases as 20% etc. I contributed one plugin which sadly not a lot of people used, but Googlers out there - try BlazeDebugCurrentTest (it's part of the Blaze plugin) or something like that!

Actually one of my favorite Google experiences starting out was that I wanted to work with an Apple Magic Keyboard, and to get proper support for it I needed to compile some kernel driver I found on github. I asked IT support if I can do that, and the answer was "you're a SWE, review the code, make sure it looks legit and doesn't contain any security holes, and then it's your responsibility if you mess anything up". Which I did, and it worked just fine. It was in 2018 so it's not like I'm referring to some early days thing.

I'm not GP but SA essentially has a single party that took control, with the opposition and minor parties not even able to hold a candle to the power the primary party wields. This primary party with control installed well-connected, but completely useless party members as heads of all government departments and state owned entities. And since coming into power, most of its members have stolen as much as possible.

The only way such a government could come to power and remain in power anywhere else in the world would be in a conquered state. I can see the parallels that the GP has drawn by calling SA such.

Can a physicist comment on the impact of this to the work by Nima Arkani-Hamed et al on the Amplituhedron (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amplituhedron)?
Yeah or, like, spin up three medium servers in different zones and have each server run all three services. We did that for a production setup for years and it worked fantastically. There's no need to have nomad/consul/vault all on different servers unless they are significantly underpowered or the workloads are crazy.

If best practices say otherwise, then maybe they should be reconsidered.
The worst thing you can do for yourself, your partner, and your future kids would be to pressure your partner into having children when she’s not ready or doesn’t want to. Her path is her own, and it’s completely valid.

My advice is to have an honest conversation where you try to understand where she’s at on this and why, without trying to change it.

And then if you determine that she really doesn’t want kids, or may not ever, you might have to make a very hard choice to either accept that and let go of your dream of having kids, or to follow another path without her.

But own it as your choice, without resentment. She doesn’t owe you a child.

Clean Code is not bad in itself. The problem is that some people made it a bible, like the absolute truth (I guess it is written in that way), and that's where it fails.
You can't compare Zurich with California. According to Wikipedia, California is 10 times as big as Switzerland.

Rent is usually the biggest part of expenses and the prices are crazier in the SV than in Zurich (the city).

Maybe you were not referring to the SV, but then you have places 30min away (by train) from Zurich that are also way cheaper.

Bio:

Hi everyone! I am a Computer Engineer with a graduation date of December 2022. I am looking for full time roles in the Bay Area starting in 2023 around Jan/Feb. I have six different internships/co-ops where I have gained a lot of different experiences. I am most interested in a testing/validation position that includes writing software for data tools or writing firmware. But also includes working with hardware such as debugging/testing a system or creating supplemental hardware to help automate testing.

I enjoy engineering very much and have been often noted as a quick learner. I thrive in environments that allow me to work on something new often and occasionally get my hands dirty.

I am from the Chicago-land area and have interned in California a number of times. I enjoy making pottery, hiking, and rock climbing! :)

There are a wide variety of heavily promoted dietary identities - from vegan to carnivore - but I'm convinced that in terms of one's health, eliminating these processed food items from one's diet is the one that has the most long-term benefits. The only downside is that relying only on 'real food' ingredients requires a fair amount of cooking, but the effort is well worth the payback.

There's no snappy one-word term for this dietary choice, maybe someone could come up with one.

I think this is fundamentally interesting.

I also appreciated the write up. Rooting for you! I think FAR more startups should be focusing on robotics and basically anything to do with meeting fundamental needs IRL.

You did a great job with the description. Makes me want to get off the sidelines and build robotics on your API. (I have startup hyperactivity lol)

It bothers me too because the more I read it, the more it gets burnt into my brain leading me to make the mistake myself.

Side note: she did unfortunately use "try and" once.
Agreed, in general. I suppose the larger argument is "Who gets to decide what words mean?"

Is it the case that because Merriam-Webster or the Oxford University Press decide arbitrarily to change the meaning of a word that we all have to concede to that authority? Is there room for another dictionary forum to exist? At what point does language diverge into different dialects because of this phenomena?
Time zones past a certain point perhaps. I routinely deal with a 5-6 hour spread (eastern US to Europe) and it works pretty well. No particular audio issues either--at least any more than video calls generally. I would agree that more than about 6 hours starts getting harder unless the people in one of the zones really shift their workday.

Hi, I'm Niklas! I have seven years of experience in working as a software engineer and focus primarily on Systems/Backend Engineering, Embedded Development, Machine Learning, DevOps, Open Source, and Rust.

I'm interested in contracting/freelancing remote opportunities, that are related to the aforementioned areas. Over the past few years I have mainly been developing systems in Rust, have been freelancing for the past two years, and want to develop myself professionally by finding new interesting areas and projects to work on, in a senior software engineer role. I studied Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence academically and am excited about working on complex systems.

Founder's Guide to Inflation
I don't really see the distinction. In the basic case of using gradients to optimize a NN, what's really being optimized are the parameters of a function expressing the NN error. We're just following the gradient downhill to find whatever minimum of this function the gradient leads us to (hopefully the global minimum, as is likely to be the case with lots of parameters).

In this "learning to learn" paper the optimization function (used to update the gradients at each step of the gradient descent algorithm) has been parameterized, and we're instead using gradient descent to find a minimum of that parameterized function.

So, yes, differentiable programming isn't limited to minimizing the losses of neural nets, but as the grandparent poster pointed out, the whole concept obviously only applies to parameterized programs calculating some numerical output that we want to miminize.

I strongly disagree. I think most people I know are careful to not throw around the word "depression" when they talk about being sad. They are keenly aware of the difference. And they know the difference between "being anxious" or "having anxiety" and having an actual anxiety disorder. Of course, a lot of times the lines are blurred. Whole most medical professionals are forced to draw a stark line in order to make an actionable diagnosis, actual people realize that these are all on a spectrum. Some of us may have occasional OCD tendencies or mild body dysmorphia without needing medical intervention. Though self-awareness and discussing the issue with friends and a therapist always seem to help, even if meds or more involved therapy aren't needed.
I used an iBook G3/G4 12" for several years with linux. I remember the G3 was supported completely out of the box. I loved it: it was small, battery lasted pretty long (I did spend some time fine tuning laptop-mode-tools), suspend-to-ram was working flawlessly and from what I remember all hardware was supported, including 3d graphics (ati radeon). For the G4, I remember there were some issues to get the wireless card working when it came out (Broadcom hardware I think), but the rest of the hardware also worked out of the box.

I have stranger phone call anxiety and the other thing is spam/scam calls. Which thankfully my phone has been good at flagging/blocking.

I think his argument is that in general their results would be worse because of the timezone and culture difference, thus earning less on average. I think there might be an element of truth there, but probably not enough to explain the entire difference, only a small part of it.
This is just my personal preference but the first time a political email gets past my custom spam filters, I will most certainly move domains I configured on fastmail back to my VPS nodes and they would not get another penny. Being an AU based company I hope they do not play this game.
That reminds me a bit of tinnitus (chronic ringing of the ears).

You expose yourself to loud noises (e.g. at a club or party), damaging your hearing, and afterwards your ears ring for a while. Your brain adjusts and the ringing stops by the next morning, so you think to yourself, "well, this is fine".

Until the day comes that the damage is too much for your brain to compensate, and the ringing never stops.
I think my confusion was the use of MB. If the headline had been "I shaved 200ms from my build" it would be very clear it was about the build process. But when I see MB I immediately think about output.

> A crap link is one that's only superficially interesting. Stories on HN don't have to be about hacking, because good hackers aren't only interested in hacking, but they do have to be deeply interesting.

> What does "deeply interesting" mean? It means stuff that teaches you about the world. A story about a robbery, for example, would probably not be deeply interesting. But if this robbery was a sign of some bigger, underlying trend, perhaps it could be.

I think this story is a sign of a bigger thing that isn't getting much notice, and which has some pretty big implications.
It's hilarious that the first "answer" to the Quora question "How do you stop a boy from playing with dolls?" is a targeted ad saying "Ad by Amazon Web Services (AWS): AWS is how. AWS removes the complexity of building, training, and deploying machine learning models at any scale." ;)

Honestly kubernetes is not harder than dealing with this. It's keeping you back in the land of default google-able problems longer as weird tweaks and unique configs aren't piling up to make esoteric issues.
