It is easy to be fast if you are willing to ship broken software. The Linux solution was broken. People knew the Linux solution was broken when it was shipped. The Linux developers knew what a non broken solution would be because the CPU manufacturer told them. [0] Linux decided to go with the broken solution. This attitude is not specific to Linux, it is pervasive throughout the entire industry. It is the reason that few people take a security volnerability report seriously until someone turns it into a full exploit.

Frankly, Xen's work here was not at all impressive; they just applied a fix that Intel told everone to apply. The fact that this is a differentiating thing for them to market with is an indictment of everyone who didn't apply it, and the industry conditions that led to them.

[0] In fairness, the reason we are in this mesz is that said CPU manufacturer has been releasing broken products in the name of speed themselves.

Why does tissue damage increase the risk of cancer? My guess is that more damage -> more cells created to replace damaged ones -> more opportunities for mutation. Is that right? If you bite the inside of your lip a lot, is that bad? Uh, asking for a friend.

An electrician finishes up a wiring job for a lawyer and presents her with an invoice.

> You can just do atypical things. And it doesn't make you more or less female or male or transitioning or anything like that.

...yes

That's why I said cis tomboys are still girls and cis femboys are still boys (not sure what the enlightenment or democracy have to do with this discussion)

> I don't believe that wearing specific clothes and demanding she/her pronouns from other people makes me less male than i happened to be. Or more female. Nor do i believe this applies for other people or gender roles swapped.

I can see this discussion won't go anywhere if you're not willing to justify your beliefs, and if you're going to continue insisting that trans people are a monolith. And at the same time imply the tired and untrue claim that trans people deny biology (no one thinks swapping clothes changes your sex characteristics). When we say socially transitioning, we just mean performing gender in a different way, it's just being contrarion to say it's "not a thing", this is probably one of the few objectively true things about trans people.

And it's contradictory to claim that gender performativity is correct, and then later also claim that your performance of gender does not change your gender. Pick a side

The current recommendation where I live is to sleep with the baby in the same room but in their own bassinet or crib for the first six months. After six months they can move to a separate room. So it is possibly the case that co-sleeping is safer than a separate room at that age but more dangerous than same room, separate beds.

Salesforce is an interesting one - many eng leaders don’t consider it “engineering” because they aren’t that familiar with the platform (often the salesforce devs are grouped in the the salesforce admins in their minds, and organizationally the salesforce devs often sit under IT), so it’s a problem they don’t think about much.

Then they are surprised when they find themselves desperately needing the skill set once the business has decided to do a big salesforce thing and not having anyone on hand who a) can do apex / knows salesforce or b) is willing to do it.

So they often turn to salesforce speciality agencies and pay through the nose.

To answer your question - I’ve seen salesforce agencies bill their developers and designers at a blended rate of $170-$200 for $1M+ projects for onshore (US) talent. I suspect if you are a decent software engineer who knows salesforce well you can probably find clients willing to pay higher rates.
It's a SW optimization issue. Pinephone can give smooth experience with optimized software (for example libreELEC/Kodi https://xnux.eu/log/videos/libreelec6.mp4). Typical GNOME desktop is just not optimized for ARM HW from 7 years ago or so. It got better with GTK4, I think.

I don't think a cap is the right solution. Better would be regulations, controls, etc to enable competition for marketplaces (at least for those of a certain size)

Like on iOS, if there was actual competition for app stores, Apple would face pressure from a competitive market to reduce their commission percentage. Developers will not want to put their apps/games on Apple's store if they continue to charge outrages fees, and they have alternative, realistic distribution options.

However, I don't know what regulation would look like there. Even if Apple is forced to allow third-party stores, it could still end up like the browser wars, where one company manages to secure a monopoly anyways. If we can't even fix the browser situation, I don't have high hopes for the appstore market.
I think they meant "anyone can switch from hourly to project-based/retainers," not "anyone can switch from full-time to contracting."

You should rise your rate to 2-4x that, and only bother talking to companies that accept such rates (possibly in other regions). If they haggle and you like them / the project, give a symbolic discount like 20%.
Well... I have deeply explored a scientific field (in computer science, not math) the way you are talking about. By reading other's research papers, implementing what they proposed, trying to improve upon it, coming up with novel solutions etc etc.

Very little of what I used on a day-to-day basis came from rote learning, a lot came from the deeper understanding that I got from actually actively engaging with the concepts.

I'm not proposing doing away with schooling completely, but the model should change (much in the way more progressive schools are doing anyway, just a shame that not many parents can afford to send their kids there).

It's actually worse for EVs. Any gas powered car has a range of 400+ miles. Only one or two EVs have a range even close to that. When you look the comparison between a gas car and an EV car having equivalent range, the CO2 payback is 200K miles+.

This is important information even for non-contractors.

I was interviewing for a position several years ago. They had zero software people at the time (the last guy quit) and one of the hardware engineers in frustration told me they were contracting some company (2 guys in barn) for like $50k a month. Since I would be replacing them I aimed high, but still well below them. Company didn't even question my salary. If I'm not mistaken they gave me "manager" title simply to put my pay in the right bracket, but that also meant my bonus was higher than most the other engineers.

Know what a company is willing to pay for work, contract or not.
> But there is a space for advertising that is gentler, honest and educational.

There is no such thing as honest advertising. The conflict of interest is inherent. The best information comes from third parties but even that gets corrupted by advertisers eventually.

> Think of advertising as a way of companies to say "Hey! here's something we're proud of -- please have a look.

When I want companies talking to me about products, I'll visit their website or I'll open their store app. In those cases it's not even advertising but information. I asked to see the products. Advertising is by definition an intrusion, uninvited.

Most of the time I don't want companies talking to me about offers. Their insistence is abuse.

That ideal of advertising you described is virtually non-existent. It's generally manipulation of the lowest sort concocted by sociopathic people.

The technology has already been demonstrated in a similar form by Lynk. The large gen2 satellites have already been built, and you can see the deployed fitted into the Starship prototype in Texas, which is planning an orbital flight test shortly (low single digit months is the desired plan, but don’t get too excited until the static fire tests have been completed on both the booster and the upperstage). They have several other Starships being built as we speak, you can watch them on livestreams on YouTube right now, and these will be the ones that start deploying the new satellites (the first Starship will not enter a permanent orbit as they want to ensure that if there’s a problem with Starship it doesn’t stay in orbit as debris… like Shuttle External Tanks, it’ll splash down in another ocean).

> your salary (backed out to hourly)

Is there a standard rule of thumb for "hours worked in a year" at companies?

Off the top of my head I come up with ~ 1700 for my last salaried job:

365 - 104 (weekends) - 32 (vacation) - 10 (holidays) - 5 (sick) = 214 days or 1712 hours @8/d.

Also I think for "your salary" you should use your total compensation but maybe that's what you meant.
This is a good argument for rewriting HN in Rust.
Yoy can do that and you might have enough panels to charge a few cars at once if you cover the entire roof with them. But even in ideal condition you’d need more than 300m2 of solar panels to charge a single car at 50kW and this would increase significantly if they don’t operate at 100% capacity.

So unless your goal is primarily virtue signaling you might as well just use the energy generated for lights and cooling since you’ll still need power from the grid for that anyway (unless it’s some hyper energy efficient shopping center with no fridges or cooling).
Remember that when you're too hot in an office, there's really nothing you can do about it and you just have to suffer.

Because as an independent contractor/consultant you're spending a lot of time meeting with the client, making or reviewing plans or reviewing planning docs, researching things, just thinking about the problem, and so on... These things become a sizable portion of the time you spend on a client, and more importantly they increase the value you provide to the client. Why would you not charge for it?

Partly it depends on your partner's situation - parental leave etc. But, in whatever case, yes, almost everything changes.

Your free time will be minimal and your sleep will be disrupted. The sleep issues largely resolve after the first 6-12 months. But the need to structure your life around the needs of your child will remain to a greater or lesser extent forever. But your life will change in ways that you can't possibly anticipate and if you're open to whatever happens, the surprises can be a source of great joy.

Not long after my daughter was born, 14 years ago, I completely left my career. We had saved a lot and didn't need two incomes. I stayed home with my daughter. Because she showed a lot of musical talent early on, I became a homeschool teacher and full-time caregiver so she could practice. Next week she is heading off to a full-time arts boarding school as a violin major.

I (mostly) enjoyed what I did for a living, and I enjoyed my extra-curriculars. But pivoting to looking after her needs has been infinitely more gratifying. So I guess I'd say, be open to a path that looks completely different that what you can see down the road right now.

> The Linux solution was broken. People knew the Linux solution was broken when it was shipped.

That is not a fair characterization. There are endless mountains of theoretical vulnerabilities[1], and no one (certainly not including Xen) tries to mitigate them all blindly. The dwm post linked in the article explicitly says he's not losing sleep over the issue. Everyone (yes, likely including Xen) believed in good faith that this was not practically exploitable.

> Frankly, Xen's work here was not at all impressive; they just applied a fix that Intel told everone to apply.

And this seems like a misunderstanding too. My gathering from the linked article is that Xen virtualized the barrier mechanism such that the job could be farmed out to guest OSes. Someone running an unpatched Linux under Xen (which is, what, 90+% of the worldwide cloud?) is still vulnerable. But "Xen" is not, which seems maybe less impactful than the marketing being presented would have you believe.
