Almost all those who moved moved to Silicon Valley or other parts of the Bay Area. Net emigration from the Bay Area itself was, as the GP comment noted, a fraction of a percent and most of those people moved elsewhere in California (mostly nearby Sacramento area or the Sierras).
Find out how your city/county handles noise mitigation first, because you could go to great lengths collecting data for 3 months only to have it ignored because it doesn't meet any kind of kind of scientific measurement standard. You are more likely to have success by just taking footage on your phone at 6am or whenever and posting it in neighborhood facebook groups or the like, then getting people to agree to come to the next council meeting and make the local supervisors miserable during the public comment period.

A lot of municipalities just cut code/nuisance abatement and enforcement resources during COVID and don't want to reinstate them because they're a cost rather than a revenue.

Not much about Japanese horrors in WWII, Chinese imperialism, Mongol raids, African-originated slave traders, African tribal genocides, machismo anti-homosexual Latino culture either.

Just seems you forgot to mention these for some reason. Maybe because the culmination of 3000 years of Asian, Africa, and South American history isn't utopia either?

You're responsible for the truthfulness of the statements that you make, especially when the data is right there on the page for you to verify for yourself. "Oh I'm just parroting someone else's distortion as fact" is not a defense.

>the picture you're suggesting is itself distorted given that other correlating factors such as social class, are ignored.

The picture I'm suggesting is that which the data shows, and you seem to be making some other leap to say something that I have not said.
> In fact, I expect the "why" 99% of the time is "I felt like it and it worked".

Erm, we're talking about professional software development here.

What someone is tinkering together in his hobby cellar is of no interest to me.

Code created by the principle "I felt like that" is garbage by definition. It makes no sense to even discuss such stuff.

> When a specific approach is essential in meeting certain application requirements, absolutely you need to comment that. But you also need tests, else how are you going to ensure that you stay within those requirements? Of an application of any meaningful size, you're going to have a hard time manually ensuring that some externality didn't break your assumption on every deploy. Even if it weren't hard, why put in the man hours when a machine can do it for you?

Here I actually agree fully.

What can be tested by the machine should be.

That's for example a reason to use statically languages, as in contrast to such thing as Ruby, the machine can give much better correctness guaranties with static type checking.

But the point is: Not everything can be expressed as meaningful test.

For example you proposed something that would result in a flaky test case…

Some other things can't be expressed as test either. And the experience shows that's this things are almost always related to the why question. In the end you put exactly this question front while discussing some imaginary implementation of something, which shows my point nicely. :-)
I'm astonished so many commenters assume the bias originates from the training data and nobody seems to scrutinize the adjectives that are used in this test.

Wine, packaged as proton, is essentially the future of gaming on Linux now. Native ports kind of died out as running the Windows build in Proton works better than the native port which would often break after distro updates. It's also a better way of just getting stuff fixed, if there was a bug in the native linux build, you'd have to pester the developers of the game to fix it, while we can assume the windows build works correct so any issue can be fixed by fixing the open source Wine code.

Its remarkable that these days you can reasonably expect that just about every game will work flawlessly running in wine.

Yeah the anticholinergic action has some association with dementia. Lots of medications have some kind of "Anticholinergic burden", drugs that cause low-level cognitive impairment, there's a list.

But I'm almost sure Benadryl isn't good for stress management on the simple basis that functioning cholinergic signaling is the inhibitory agent of the sympathetic nervous system. On any degree of anticholinergic effect you're more of in a flight-or-flight humor. This is apparent on acute effect (overdose,) the anticholinergic toxidrome symptomatology mnemonic goes like this: red as a beet, blind as a bat, mad as hatter, hot as a hare, dry as a bone - all something you could get with amphetamine (a dominant sympathetic nervous system). Do you reckon amphetamine relaxing?
> I am guessing that if we applied a similar model to Russian and English, the model would indicate there is an inherent bias against the west in Russian and a bias against Russia in English. That is all were seeing here. It isn't actually indicating anything about the language. It is telling us about who uses the language and how they use it.

So if your argument is that the model has been trained on a collection of information about what is hate speech assembled by liberals, then I can see it might be possible.

But if your argument is that (speculatively) republicans engage more in hate speech, then bad things said about republicans is not detected as hate speech by the model, the jump is rather far.
They do two things - RLHF to make the model itself better aligned to human preferences, and they use an external model, a small one, called text-moderation-001, that tests for a few problematic categories and triggers a warning message on the screen.

Fix your dirty Salesforce – Datadog for CRM [YC W23]
Friends, I'm so fed up with my broken Salesforce that I'm working on https://www.fixyoursalesforce.com/

It's a tool to monitor any sync errors between RevOps software or data discrepancies between different properties. We monitor, alert you in real time, and suggest fixes. The tool works; we use it internally. It's like DATADOG for your CRM!

Could it be helpful for some of you, or I'm going in the wrong direction? :pray:

If it's cheap enough, the paper's worth it just to never worry about having to explain your lacking a degree. Even if you rarely actually have to, it's always in the back of your mind. A potential question that you'll need to be ready to reframe positively, plus that constant worry that you're receiving extra scrutiny, just... go away completely.

It'll also be very handy if one ever wishes to leave the US—most countries one might want to live and work in will be much more likely to let you in with a degree, and especially a CS degree.

I went back and finished mine. Removing that stressor from interviews was worth it, even if that was basically the only benefit, which it was—nearly all the benefits I can point to from college came from the humanities degree I nearly finished, years before completing the CS degree. For the CS degree, perhaps two or three hours worth of instruction or material have proven either useful or edifying since. But, I'm glad to have the paper.
Not on the screen, is that pipes are a non linear heat regulation plant.

Means, demand for warmth is not fullfilled, until the heat has warmed up the pipes, and then its over fullfilled, to the point you regulate towards. Same goes towards the other direction. Cold first cools down the pipe before becoming fully cold..
The city changes. It’s had boom/bust before (from gold rush through WWII) and when I moved here in the 80s it had an utterly dead downtown, some financial industry, a good arts scene, and was a bedroom community for Silicon Valley.

I miss its grungy period and hope it returns. It’s a little too clean and fancy for me at the moment.

I think what they are saying is its easier to recruit students as there is a pipeline but it's harder to find experienced people who would accept entry level comp at Amazon so they aren't going to bother. It's not that they think they are better, just easier to get.
Being typecast as the "front-end web guy." I thought for a long time not having a degree held me back, so I got my BSCS. Nope, still pegged as the FE web guy. Working on my masters now, talk to some folks around the company about getting involved in some back-end data driving projects. Shot down because I'm "just an FE web guy." I'm so sick of CSS, HTML, and the never ending churn of Javascript frameworks that I sometimes feel like I'm losing my mind. It's worse when I see new grads come in with 0 programming experience get on an interesting team... all because they don't have the "FE web guy" stink on them.

(edit: apparently these are just "books tagged mathematics", not the mathematics tutorial reading list. First and second paragraphs mostly hold)

I went through a great books curriculum (not in math), and this list reminds me of my primary complaint with the whole Great Books approach. "Great Books" is mired in fairly a ridiculous fetishism of the Greek classics, the Enlightenment era, the American founding, and the Anglo view of the western world.

This works... well enough... in Philosophy and History and the like. But it's a much larger problem in Mathematics where the field is essentially unrecognizable from the way it would've been taught in 1920 or whatever.

I really like the general approach, but the cultural baggage grates and for Mathematics in particular leads to odd selections. Sometimes you feel like your reading list is being commanded from the grave by a sort of snobby Oxbridge man who, in 1980, was already transparently classist in a kind of irrelevant and borderline senile way.

With respect to this list in particular, the critical points of the Grundlagenkrise are hardly covered at all despite having so many wonderful candidates for short illustrative texts that fit the Great Books tradition perfectly. Russell is predictably floating around (see paragraph 1) even though... well, yawn. And the emphasis on Physics and Natural Philosophy over the development of the science of computing is a shocking oversight given the sheer accessibility of the topic and its importance to the modern world. I'm honestly not sure what eg Darwin is doing in this list (despite being a good candidate in any great books curriculum).

Also, significantly more coverage of the development of arithemtic in the Arab world and simultaneous developments of various things in both the Indian subcontinent and in the far east. The Greek fetishism strikes hard in that first year; no one born after 1850 needs that much Euclid.

Where is the development of probability theory? Texts from Riemann, Boole, Laplace, Fermat, Galois, and especially Euler seem more important than Bacon or certainly Franklin.

Etc.

Interesting that you upgrade your phone every year. It kinda makes sense when you think about how often you use your phone, but I've done the opposite and only ever upgraded my (or my partner's) phone when it broke or started slowing down, which typically takes ~3 years now with iphones and ~1.5 years with android -- $600-1k just feels like a huge purchase if you're not actively reminding yourself to amortize it.

I'm starting to consider going to your approach (with trade-in) just to get camera upgrades.

You're right, that view is "a little" dramatic. The Holocaust proposition was maybe more defensible 20 years ago when we could still look at Third World with rose-colored glasses.

Nowadays, I think if someone argues along the lines of "3,000 years of Western culture culminated in the Holocaust," they should also consider that the same logic leads to "5,000 years of Chinese culture culminated in the ongoing genocides in Xinjiang and Tibet" or "1,400 years of Muslim culture culminated in 9/11" or any number of other such propositions that I think most thinking people can see are problematic. Those things happen in spite of, not because of, the broader cultural/intellectual canons.
I was really hoping someone would have made a smart joke about “well what did you expect to happen when you cover your computer in transparent sheets of paper.” But alas, there was no joke to be found here.

But to get back on topic, I’ve also had some bad luck with these but that was mostly due to me making the mistake of using them for a database (I didn’t RTFM).

Reviewable is a very small, bootstrapped business that sells our code review software to some of the largest companies around. We've been around long enough to be much more stable than your average startup, yet stayed small enough to avoid crippling bureaucracy — everybody reports directly to the founder/CEO. We're engineer-centric and fully remote. However, we prefer hiring US residents and offer the usual benefits: health and dental insurance, 401(k) plans with company contributions, unlimited vacation, etc. We've built a company and a codebase where we enjoy working day-to-day and hope that you will too!

We're looking for a backend generalist with a love for problem-solving with algorithms and data structures!

The odd thing with that incident is that the "PURIFY" define long predated it-- the correct fix in debian should have been "Just compile with DPURIFY"-- I believe redhat was already doing so at the time.

> I haven't seen OpenSSL people claim that the first, erroneous, call was somehow supposed to make OpenSSL produce random bits on some hypothetical platform where the contents of uninitialised memory doesn't start as zero

I had an openssl dev explain (in person) to to me when I complained about the default behavior: that there had been platforms that depended on that behavior, that they weren't sure that which ones did, and so it didn't seem safe to eliminate it. (I'd complained because I couldn't have users with non -DPURIFY openssl code run valgrind as part of troubleshooting). IIRC the use of uninitialized memory was intentional and remarked on in comments in the code.
> Just by adding USB-C they will sell a lot of them.

I have a hard time imagining that would factor into many people's decisions, and if it did it might actually be a negative.

If you already have an iPhone, you already have Lightning connectors everywhere you need them regularly. So upgrading to USB-C means the hassle of replacing or finding Lightning->USB-C adapters for existing cables/docks/etc.

USB-C is mostly a small benefit for people who have never bought an iPhone before, but it's such a small change I can't imagine it actually being the reason anyone would switch from Android to iPhone.
Like an EEO questionnaire? It probably doesn't matter. No one who is making a hiring decision is supposed to see that information, and it only gets used for reporting purposes (so they can prove they aren't discriminating against anyone).

I'd be very surprised if any legitimate recruitment tool exposed that information to anyone evaluating you.

> modest but solid revenue growth, costs a bit over-inflated, but not at all beyond the pale

Net income dropped 34% compared to the same quarter last year. 21% drop comparing FY2022 to FY2021. That feels significant, especially when revenue grew over the same periods.
It makes sense in markets where iMessage has a relevant market share.

In other markets other messaging apps like WhatsApp dominate (and for those it’s irrelevant what platform you are on).

Also, "Green Bubble" is not at all about (any and all) friction between platforms. That makes no sense. It’s fundamentally about a specific kind of friction relating to network effects and and an obvious display of difference.

It's true that Omega was designed specifically to solve this problem well (and one of the big insights from the original Borg paper is how efficient it is to have heterogenous workloads on a single cluster). But (as a non-google person with no inside info) I think the amount of omega inspiration in kubernetes is overstated.

Until a few years ago there was very limited support for pluggable schedulers in kubernetes (I think it's gotten better recently but I'm a bit out of date). The beauty of Omega and Mesos is that schedulers were a first-level concept. How Spark thinks about job scheduling will not be the same as how Presto does, or a real-time system like Flink. Mesos provided a framework where you could create custom schedulers for each class of application you run.

For example, for a query engine you might care about scheduling latency more than anything else, and you'd be willing to accept subpar resources if you're able to get them more quickly. For a Spark job, the scheduler can introspect the actual properties of the job to figure out whether a particular resource is suitable.
