I just reread the "our black brothers" line. It makes sense without knowing the original naming. It's about an Englishman leaving a bunch of African natives to die.

Perhaps they mean "Vera Claythorn becoming semi-hysterical" only makes sense knowing the name, but that's a bit of a stretch.
The most praised thing in TikTok is how they tailor videos to each user. While Insta or Facebook rely on virality, TikTok is able to show you videos barely liked and shared, and you somehow like them.

I remember reading about a guy experimenting with liking only long and high quality videos, skipping short and cheap ones. After a dozen of visualizations TikTok got the cues and started showing exactly what the guy had planned.

After five years in LinkedIn saying the plain truth, they still don't get me at all, and they just keep my feed filled with the most "interacted" content.

A valid concern. My experience is that by now, most apps/projects have support for m1 Mac’s out of the box. For the minority that don’t, I always find a solution that fits nicely in the first gist shown by google. I honestly don’t even consider it to be an inconvenience when I hold it up next to my experience with wsl. Not to mention that the support for new Mac architecture will only continue to improve + be a priority given the market share.

Don’t forget that even if you somehow run out of avenues for support on a mac, you can always dual boot linux on it. You could probably even bootcamp a mac to run windows and then run wsl inside it (I’m kidding but you get the point).

I would not go with option 1 until:

1. You have more experience (why would someone pick you as a contractor?)

2. Get better at negotiation.

Your concerns are valid, but that you didn't have the answers is a signal you're not wise enough to go into the contracting world.
> You might be able to use less in town but swapping 5 or 6 canisters every day sounds less pleasant than simply unplugging your EV at the start of the day and plugging it back in later.

Japan is thankfully one of the more resistant countries against the 'need moar bigger car for running over pedestrians' insanity infesting the rest of the world and has a long distance train network. 6kWh (2 canisters) is plenty for a LEV and even in a kei car you'd typically have maybe 5 or 6.

Correct that's what people do - so our much vaunted "egalitarian" healthcare system means in practice that only those wealthy enough to go to a neighboring country and pay for healthcare out of pocket (because we don't have employer insurance for that) are able to get good healthcare, and none of the money stays in the country.

Our family camera was a Kodak Disc Camera. The crappy grainy quality was offset by the speed and convenience of swapping discs. Lots of family moments would have been forgotten, so the trade-off was worth it.

Only problem was price (more expensive to buy and process), and availability (hard to find disc film in a country town).
Get a counteroffer. If your company likes you, they'll match it. If they don't, you can accept the offer and get that amount of money. Basically 0 downside for you.

I think there are a lot of companies that do location-independent pay, so you should look into interviewing at one of those. My impression from a cursory look at what I see on these companies blogs is that they skew very low for someone that lives in New York or San Francisco, but that doesn't seem to be your situation.

Another option is to just move. I think you come out ahead, as pay seems to linearly scale with the cost of living change, but many expenses are fixed. (For example, nobody says "every software engineer should have $1650 for their 401k, $3000 in pocket change, and whatever the average rent is in their city of choice". They say "We aim for $200k in NYC" and if housing is 50% cheaper somewhere else, pay you $100k. That means your 401k, pocket change, etc. scale down proportionally, and that's the part that's unfair. So move to San Francisco!)

You could also find a company that pays more in your desired location. Google's software engineers in Madison, WI probably get paid more than some random startup in Brooklyn, NY. Even if it's location based, you can still get yourself more money.

Finally, if you're contracting, nobody really needs to know what city you live in. For full time employees it's tough to lie about this because of taxes, and of course fraud is a crime. I definitely know of people that claim to live in Pennsylvania but actually live in New York City, for tax reasons. This is fraud and is illegal, but people do do it. Maybe location-based pay tips the scale towards "meh, I can do 5 years in prison with 10% probability". I'd personally avoid going down that road. If you're a contractor, though, nothing stops you from starting a company in a high cost area, billing through the company, and never mentioning (except to tax authorities) where you actually live. Again, I wouldn't recommend this as it sounds like a huge hassle, but everything can be gamed. The upside of contracting is that you're negotiating your compensation several times a year, instead of a handful of times throughout your career. The downside is that if nobody really needs your skills, you make $0 for that period of time, which can be pretty rough.

I think my TLDR is that I'm guessing you don't actually love your job, so you should probably find a different one. That's how you get paid more as a software engineer. Some employers keep their fingers on the pulse of the market and give you raises to keep your compensation within the %-ile that they decided, but 99.99% don't. So, you find a new job every 2 years. That's their fault, not yours. I worked at one of the 0.01% that did keep refreshing comp as the industry landscape changed, without me ever asking, and that was the job I worked at longest.

You need to process the video before that, as not every phone/browser has the right codecs to stream from every other phone. Then you need to ship that to POPs and serve it. That’s some industrial strength bandwidth and computer power, not to mention the feature tagging the AI is doing to show the videos to the right audience.

My Unreal C++ modules are pretty small. But on a P620 I’d say my time from editor -> compile -> relaunch editor in under a minute? I think I can compile and link the full engine in 15 minutes?

But I will admit my current Unreal projects are quite small.

I'm emotionally with you, however the OP is right in that the GP most likely doesn't have any options other than quitting and going to a company that doesn't do this

OP is also correct in that the following is how HR at almost every large company thinks about comp:

1. Comp is usually not set by a Hiring Manager and is specifically based on "comparable" which is based on job type and location.

2. Job type and location is by far the easiest way to create a heuristic for pay rates because the data is public

It's basically impossible to individually value everyone's contribution consistently and without bias across hundreds or thousands of employees - plus I don't think people would want to actually be judged with any method that puts granular measurement on something as vague as "value"

So if you can come up with a better way to determine pay *at scale* other than the open market approach, I'm super interested.

The only way to do this in my mind is to never pass -- lets say -- 100 employees.
Graeber's essays come up from time-to-time. Philosophy usually gets upvoted quite highly.
>less things to care about, more reason to leave at 5.

What do you mean?
How do you judge ‘contributed less’? More senior people generally have more skill and a better understanding of the product, making them more able to make decisions that carry much more value to the business than labor from non-senior employees
Considering to take a long break rn. I love programming and software development, but my current boss keeps sending me “in link is uuid need to pass it at newcode and this new service when will start check-status of this uuid if it changes during 15 minutes then like <projectname> we’ll send status as in second case”. This is our usual technical requirements document, no preface, no follow ups expected. They like multiple simultaneous references in speech, like: this takes that then it goes there, second sends, … all [mis]referring to different things. These are all pointers into their mind which obviously nobody can read, but it doesn’t bother them. I literally experience mind segfaults as in xkcd/371, and guess what, it really isn’t fun.

If you don’t understand where this link will come from, which new service (does it exist? should it be created? should it be a service, or is it just an assumption?), how and where to apply a 15min constraint, what’s the second case - neither do I. Every task starts a hard deciphering process of a context, a goal, a supposed solution (which is not how it gets done anyway) and a sentence itself. It doesn’t take much time to sit and try to form some structure in a dialogue, but it takes so much mental energy that it hurts.

The job itself is hacker-ish and includes funny tech like xvfb/vnc, adb, ocr, some infra, frontend, some hw. Which I like and not afraid to use, learn or hack. But this constant contextless gibberish just drives me nuts.

Boss / marketing lady getting pissed when I didn't share posts / update my LinkedIn. I communicated it was a glaring violation of the boundaries of work and personal life.

Aside from that, one of the founders would just randomly fire people and say "we liked them but they just weren't a great fit for the company" - then go on a charade about how "you'll know if you're not in good shape".

The last straw was the usual "if you're not consistently going above and beyond on all fronts we question if you are committed to the company". I work 45hr weeks and do on call rotations one week a month - candidly, fuck off.
... for now.

But, will it stay that way?
Yes, Rust is great for tree-like data structures. However, add one non-tree edge to your graph and you're in big trouble.

Good summary. Most of the headaches I have in Rust come from needing something that's not a simple tree. Parts that are simple trees are really easy.

Nanite is a DAG, by the way. The whole point of Nanite is that instances are combined, recursively. A mile of chain link fence would be highly detailed sections of wire, combined into full wires, combined into fence panels... But not just all simple repeats. If there's a hole in the fence somewhere, that can be represented.

This isn't about majority votes, though. If 10% of Hacker News believes one thing and 10% believes the other--and even with 80% hating the topic entirely and refusing to participate--you will get weird juxtapositions of stories on either side hitting and holding the front page. You aren't even guaranteed to get a mix of comments, because the kind of people who show up to talk about one issue and the kind of people who show up to talk about another issue might have less overlap than you would expect from being on the same website.

Gold has always been valuable in all civilizations I am aware of. It is rare, compact, easy to work with, hard to counterfeit due to its density, resistant to chemicals and doesn't degrade over time. And though it is subjective, most people find it beautiful. If you want to make a form of currency, gold is the perfect candidate.

Fiat currency is worthless when the government that backs it fails. Cryptocurrencies are unusable without some global network (i.e. the internet). Potable water and bullets may be super valuable, but they don't make for good currency, and of course, any self respecting bunkers will have a lot of these too.

Many things can be valuable in a post apocalyptic world. But gold is a pretty good candidate. Not only that but it is also a rather good investment now, apocalypse or not.
I don't know how well Leon works but Mycroft is not running locally on your own server. It's still a cloud service. I believe it can be run locally but it's very complex and not well supported. At least this was the state last time I looked at it.

For this reason (and their failed Kickstarter) I've never really been into Mycroft. After all it's kinda the same as Alexa/Siri just a slightly more trustworthy party when they say they're not using your data.

I'm just not interested in alternatives until they can run fully locally (not necessarily on device, on a local server or docker is fine)

If this Leon does what it says on the tin it might be just the thing for me.
Classic restaurant and cars analogies don't work mostly. While traveling around the world I find 'comparable' restaurants to be 'comparably' priced. I just returned from a country with a GDP per capita four times lower compared to the one I live in now. Yet prices in restaurants in downtown or hotel room only around 30% cheaper. Iphones, laptops are cheaper in US that basically everywhere.
> Facebook (and any other app) should have never been allowed to have an "internal" browser.

Thought-prokoving opinion.

On one hand, Facebook and Google will pry Firefox from my cold dead hands.

On the other hand, for "smaller" apps that need/want a web view, I'd much rather the lone developer be using Google's updated Chromium-based WebView than rolling their own or using some ancient outdated library they found on GitHub or SO because they don't have the time to develop and entire web browser themselves.
As a practitioner, I can tell you that this proposal would be quite a bit behind state of the art for email spam filter accuracy. For example, there's a surprising amount of legitimate mail that gets sent without authentication, and which you don't want to block because your end users will get mad if it goes missing.

I may also point out that "reputation scoring for netblocks" is the exact problem the original blog post was complaining about. He was trying to send from residential ISP and VPS netblocks that had poor reputation, and saw delivery problems as a result.

It's pretty frustrating, Google Maps doesn't even show the GPS code for allot of locations, like your GPS blue bubble or places, you have to select an empty space on the map, then it'll tell you the GPS cords of that spot (as well as plus code).

We are using this technique in ClickHouse to make performance tests more stable.

Yep, at one point the product team had dropped the ball and just stopped planning future initiatives other than articulating bug fixes for technical features they didn't understand. Before I joined, point blank I said I had zero interest in dealing with maintenance tasks or tedious bug-fixes. They started giving me bugfixes, I told them no. They started having me use my time to work on no-code dashboards for their boneheaded sales team.

I churned a while on this and about a week later just moved on and got a $40k bump at a new gig. No reason to work on frameworks that have no future (in this case, Retool) or that you explicitly said you had no interest in doing.

But this is a discussion about location-based pay, not competency-and-likelihood-to-succeed-in-the-role-based pay.

Get another offer or several and then have this conversation again. The equation changes considerably for your manager when you are talking about leaving for a better offer. Right now he has you as an employee for a price that saves him money. When you have another offer he has to weigh losing the knowledge you have built up about the job and the business, Locating, Interviewing, and Hiring a replacement against paying you a higher wage.
