Taxes. You can be employed by a company in another state, but they/you would have to pay taxes according to your country of residence. Even though it is certainly doable, nobody wants the headache of calculating the proper amount of taxes and other contributions for a random country.

I removed the worst of the cringy ones (e.g. AnalConnect for business analysts) and the "Inspiration" bit in each app can sometimes ring a little off, but I'm pretty happy with the result overall.
What you say is right, and occurred to me, too. But there's another sense of "alternative" at play--not that the list is an alternative to another list, but that these sites are alternatives to more commonly-noted ones.

There are a handful of modern wonders lists, and they (and other media) often focus on a few "usual suspects", like the Taj Mahal and Machu Picchu. So maybe in the spirit of the post it's "Some wonderful sites you may not have heard about", and that doesn't seem like a bad thing.

nope, just cash + RSU / yr.

e.g. Amazon was giving out SDE II (google L4 equivlant) @ 400k (first year no RSU but cash bonus paid out monthly) about 2 months ago.

re L3 level, if you have a master's or 1+ yr exp, while you're still at the entry level, you are considered "industrial hire" and 300 is very attainable

in my current company for new hires (again justed to google's leveling) we have L5 550+ and L6 650+ (200~300 cash + RSU , not pre-IPO bs)

In my earlier years I used to doubt those "ridiculous" numbers until I simply asked for more. There are plenty of companies out there, many medium-big sized non-FAANG companies pay just as well.

Maybe we because we can observe these disasters happening in real time?

I find it absolutely wild that you can claim not to see climate disasters that are actively unfolding around us.

The first thing that really woke me up was the sudden loss of global sea ice in 2016. Take a look at the arctic death spiral if you aren't familiar already [0]. In 2012 if you mentioned that the response was "well yea but the antarctic is growing!!". There were good explanations for why that what happening during global warming, but that's no longer necessary since the antarctic is also declining rapidly [1].

Then there's lake Mead. I can't imagine you haven't been paying attention to what's happening there but we're on the path to reaching dead pool in a few years [2]. And yes, this is also due to poor resource management, but it is exacerbated by climate change and desertification of the region.

Then there's the amazon rain forest, which was once a carbon sink, becoming a net carbon emitter [3]

But the most important part of all of this, is that these events (which represent just a few examples of the impacts of climate changes) are not the new normal. Because the rate co2[4] and ch4[5] are being emitted is accelerating we're no where near a new stability point. All of the things we see now are just the beginning of a process that will only continue to accelerate each year for the rest of your life.

And that's just what we can observe and predict. Thwaites glacier, for example, will very likely collapse at some point in the next 100 years. We have no idea when, but when it does it will cause massive and near instant sea level rise. Far more concerning is that this tons of geological evidence that there are feed back triggers that cause rapid rise in GHGs and temperature and we don't know exactly when we might cross these. The book Under a Green Sky, by paleontologist Peter Ward lays out rather convincing evidence that the majority of extinction events have been caused by rapid climate change triggered by changes in CO2.

I'm not sure why you don't give these things more credibility.

Kate Soper makes the case that quality of life would improve significantly if we took these steps. The carbon-intensive "good life" leaves us time poor and stressed.
Far too specific, plenty of work loads where that wouldn't make a difference at all. And of those remaining, chances are that a bump to the next main memory price tier would completely change things, more so than optane swap.

Where I'd expect the technology to really shine is in flash controllers: give that thing a generous serving of optane cache to play with in its fancy wear leveling rites, power-loss-persistent and sufficiently closely integrated (same board) to allow software to confidently assume "committed" without the flash even touched if the write happens within a tight working set (you might want to set certain file system parameters up for "it's ok to write the same address many times"). You could even include the optane in the advertised capacity! And the swap space use case would be included without even trying.
Wouldn't it make sense to decouple the orchestration later from the authoring layer for the dags? That way you could solve the authoring problems separately from the lower level orchestration problems. We're trying this over at ZenML (https://zenml.io) but have yet to get feedback
In terms of major companies using Elixir, Discord and Whatsapp are built with it. Whatsapp is slowly chipping away at its Elixir for infra homogeneity reasons with the rest of facebook but discord is still all aboard the Elixir train.
Our ability to transform matter at always bigger scales and rates, which is proportional to the energy we master, is what has driven the current environmental crisis (were not all the imminent existential threats are climate change, although climate change is the most obvious one).

If we keep the same consumerist and expansionist culture and add more energy to the mix (even if it’s climate-friendly energy), i.e. more capacity to extract resources deeper and deeper, become more dependent on them and disperse them in our constructions, devices, ground, water and atmosphere, what do you think will happen?

Energy will be key in amortizing the pains of de-growth, but de-growth will happen on a planet with finite resources, whether we want it or not.
Anyone have any recommendations for a SQL engine that works on in-memory data and has a simple/monolithic architecture? Our data is about 50-100gb (uncompressed) and thus easily fits into memory. I am sure we could do our processing using something like polars or pandas in memory quite quickly but we prefer a SQL interface. Using postgres is still quite slow even when it has more than enough memory available compared to something like duckdb. Duckdb has other limitations however. I’ve been eying MemSQL but that also seems to be targeted more towards multi machine deployments.
I have google home and the first one worked. The 2nd did not but I don't think I'd ever say that bc I just have routines where I say "i'm leaving" or "i'm going to bed" and everything shuts off at once.
Judges are there to provide judgement. It's literally in the name. Judges are deliberately put in positions to make nuanced decisions. Yes, bias exists, but the solution isn't dogmatic and inflexible application of law.

I haven't filled out much content yet but seeing this post originally inspired me to create Prompt Wiki[0] to try and better organize terms and concepts for good prompts. DALL-E and Midjourney explorers needed! Seems useful to have, especially when the act of exploration costs a few cents.

I mean if we're going for snarky takedowns how about "if you identify most strongly with the attention-seeking liar in the story I don't think I need your advice."

But more seriously you can take more than one lesson from a tale. "A threat may be real even if the one relaying it lacks credibility" is not a neat or satisfying morality lesson to feed to children, but it remains true in my experience.

I'm surprised that this paper doesn't mention hydrogen sulfide, a poisonous gas emitted into the atmosphere during anoxic ocean events, which is thought to be responsible for several known periods of mass extinction:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permian%E2%80%93Triassic_extin...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anoxic_event#Atmospheric_effec...

>The trigger for these mass extinctions appears to be a warming of the ocean caused by a rise of carbon dioxide levels to about 1000 parts per million

To me, this is the most concerning potential result of climate change. Short of hermetically-sealed self-sustaining biodomes, which must run smoothly for up a million years before the atmosphere naturally clears of H2S, an event like this could wipe out all human life on Earth. Our political or ideological alignment would be of no consequence. Even communist utopian societies can't survive a poisoned atmosphere.

We'll hit 1000ppm in a few centuries if current trends hold, or much sooner than that if certain positive feedback loops kick in. Last I checked, the methane clathrate gun hypothesis wasn't as bad as previously thought, but we simply don't know what we don't know in this area:

The billionaire class is currently worried about the whole of the working class, it goes well beyond SWEs at Facebook and Google.

But Amazon being worried about organizing in their warehouses and Google and Facebook freezing hiring of SWEs and Musk's comments about how workers have become soft and overpaid (or whatever it was, I can't find the quote right now) are all different body parts of the same elephant.

And SWEs actually are "lower classes" (plural) compared to billionaires.

Going back 20 years with Oracle DB it was common to use "triple mirror" on storage to make a block level copy of the database. Lock the DB for changes, flush the logs, break the mirror. You now have a point in time copy of the database that could be mounted by a second system to create a tape backup, or as a recovery point to restore.

It was the way to do it, and very easy to manage.

Isn't that a version of 'look at what you made me do'?

It isn't the progressives that are highlighting and reinforcing differences, they are working (hard) to try to reduce those differences, at least in those ways that matter to a great many people. Progressives by definition yearn for progress and those opposed to it will use anything to stop that progress, any excuse is as good as the next. So no matter what progressives will do to their messaging it will never be enough.

I picked up on that too. I generally expect that type of simplification in non-technical articles geared toward the general public. But this one was specific enough that I think it deserved a mention.
Because only a certain few folks have access to DALL-E 2. I haven't got the invite and every day the ideas I was going to run with are already being done by others. Sure you can still do it, but it's not the same as a frontier where you can get the high, success, cash and fame out of a lot of easy ideas by being the first to do them. Eventually it's just a tool and you find a harder and more obscure niche to fill with it, despite how magical it is or how it makes your life/work potentially easier.

Ok, so you understood flatmap and therefore monads in 2 minutes. Now you need something that needs nested monads. That's where major complexity suddenly appears - your code is no longer simple and is full of artificial constructs like transformers just to do simple things. Moreover, anyone who reads your code must know all language constructs you are using or they are lost and can't fix any issue in your code.

Google already has a policy for that.

With manager approval, you can go down to as low as 60% time (and equivalent total comp reduction). I believe it's called flextime internally.

Amazon has also been experimenting for years with teams of 32 hour/week SWEs. https://www.amazon.jobs/en/landing_pages/part-time-tech

Interestingly, when I was at Amazon, I talked to one of the part time SWE managers. I expressed my surprised that the program wasn't more popular. He said most engineers just aren't that interested in the idea unless they're going through some major life event that requires their time, like a new baby or sick relative.

Perhaps only a cultural shift of the entire company to 4 day weeks would get everyone on board with the idea, without feeling like they're risking getting left behind and jumping to the top of the future layoff list.
There's a way out of this, but it requires discipline and besides, most companies don't want to do it.

Prototype.

Deliberately build "one to throw away." Iterate fast and figure out what you need. When you've learned the important lessons about architecture, structure and collaborations, make a note of those lessons in a design document and then build the "real" product with proper engineering, but with a lot less risk.

I worked for an organization that did this and it results in good quality software, but you need buy-in at all levels of management or you run into "why did your team just waste 6 months on throw-away work?" questions.
modular phones, cyber decks, laptops with six folding displays, ipads with gpio pins

We have all that, although most of it from smaller Chines manufacturers. More than that we do have truly open source hardware, you can download schematics for almost anything, modify and design your own chips and circuits based on open designs, dream up your own hardware, and if know the right people in Shenzhen you can email it all to them and they'll build it for you.

The reason so few people take advantage of any of this is that it didn't turn out to be that useful.

It's not as simple as "take a bitmap image and make it a vector". Yes sure, they'll vectorize it, but it'll look bad, through no fault of theirs. When creating a good looking vector image, you generally need to take into account it being a vector from the beginning of the design process.

I think the point in the first section is that the way ABC instancecheck/subclasshook interacts with pattern matching is surprising for anyone not familiar with ABC. It allows you to check for a match with arbitrary functions, beyond simply checking if an object is an instance of a given type. In the final section where he has issues with caching, I presume he hasn't read about instancecheck, your code would fix his issue.

For pile-of-strings data, there are still things you can do. E.g. in Pandas, if there are a small number of different values, switch to categoricals (https://pythonspeed.com/articles/pandas-load-less-data/ item 3). And there's a new column type for strings that uses less memory (https://pythonspeed.com/articles/pandas-string-dtype-memory/).

The previous commenter was probably unaware of the various way to backup recent postgresql release.

For what you describe a "point in time recovery" backup would probably be the more adequate flavor

It was first release around 2010 and gained robustness with every release hence not everyone is aware of it.

It might also bias them towards reporting the work of their members is of a quality that justifies their continued employment and thus avoid suggesting that recent or ongoing improvements were inadequate.
> And its really not my problem if you think a unix has to be mono..thats just wrong and you know it.

It's not really my problem if you think I said UNIX has to be a monolith, since I never said that.

Xv6 is a reimplementation based on the original v6 UNIX design. As a teaching tool for the historical design of UNIX, it's a great place to start. If you want to study Unix-like microkernels, then MINIX and Tanenbaum's books are a great place to start.

If you want to study hybrid Unix-like systems, then the Darwin source code might be a good place to start. MacOS as a popular, hybrid, desktop Unix is pretty much an anomaly in the course of Unix history.

Study whatever you want, but for beginners to OS design, it's easier to understand hybrid and microkernel systems if you first know what a monolithic kernel is, and how various modern versions of Unix evolved from that in my personal opinion.

Nobody really gives a rat's ass about UNIX certification in the real world ... except MacOS fans.
I want a system that's better at playing nice between system-managed and developer-managed packages. Distributions that stick closer to upstream (e.g. Slackware, Gentoo, or especially FreeBSD with the built-in ports system) are better than Debian for developer machines IME.
