If you were to solely take into account job market size then China alone would dwarf the entire list and require a massive team to maintain on its own for what I hope should be obvious reasons.

And this ignores that the job market size isn't related to the complexity of integration. If you're doing business in China your data retention and storage is going to be massively different than Europe which is different than the US which is different than Japan which is different than Indonesia. These will require some form of backend customization and integration with the common UI framework they use for their site design. You need QA teams, you need lawyers, you need managers and live ops engineers and specialists and researchers to drive user retention and businessmen to reach out to companies.

Have you ever worked in a global team environment? Or perhaps talked to your coworkers working on similar products in other countries?

RTO companies are already paying a lot more than the market. When this bounces back, I can only imagine the even higher premium they will need to pay to attract top performers.

It's the sunk cost fallacy in action. They spent too much on physical space and the whole organization that comes with that and can't let it go and cut their losses, so they are doubling down with RTO. I can't see this ending well in the long-term for them.
To pre-empt you expanding that to things like running speed, I considered it too obvious to bother mentioning that I'm taking about mental tasks.

For that specific example, athletics, there does appear to be a correlation. It may be any or all of A->B, B->A, and C->(A, B), but "healthy body, healthy mind" is a meme that appears to have a similar age as the concept of writing.

Finally, as I have been specifying IQ 85 as the "huh interesting" threshold rather than "high" IQ, I'll ignore your goalpost shift and say that your citation is me right now saying: I reckon IQ improvements in at least this zone (say +/- 0.5σ) is causal for better outcomes with regard to [avoiding injury, pushing performance limits, maintaining training regimes, learning techniques], all of which improve overall performance.
We haven't, if you have money you can put your own people or people you have influence over/with into positions of authority, or help get, shall we say friendly legislators elected who help set the regulatory frameworks. You could influence news media by advertising with them and threatening to pull your advertising if they criticise or investigate you. You can bully governments by threatening to move your offices and factories abroad.

There's so much that giant companies can do. Ordinary folk only have their word of mouth, their wallets, and their votes. We saw how the rise of the internet gave these people power and things started to change, and so the word of mouth power was taken away through the actions of social media companies, which then affects how people use their wallets and their votes.

Once again, freedom of speech turns out to be the most important freedom in a democracy.

I think you’re right that they doing it for fun or because they can, primarily. But I am excited to see them pioneer in this area, both because it’s more open and hacker friendly, but also because they’re moving the needle towards healthy competition amongst the providers.

Our big-three cloud hegemony has already showed it’s ugly sides, both in terms of price (egress, anyone?) and quality (hello, zero interop and opaqueness). I’d argue we’ve seen significant complexity increases in especially server-side tech in the last 5-10 years, with relatively little to show for it, despite massive economic investments. I expect that trend to continue downwards unless we take back the hacker friendliness of infra & ops.

PS. Actually scratch that I’m excited, that’s an understatement. I’m thrilled!

If Coinbase takes money from the people furthest back in line (unsecured creditors) and gives it to people second furthest back in line (equityholders), and the unsecured creditors think they're first in line (bank depositors)… that sounds like stealing to me!

> comes from understanding what that code is really doing

It does come from understanding the !business code! that is involved. Not the rarely important features of the underlying language that the stack, the framework or the models handle.

Which makes that argument further moot - you should not be messing with how the models or the framework handle those data types. There is a reason why they were built and deployed.

The federal government certainly is not adopting remote work as much as they could, but this OpEd is a bit off base.

For starters, there are a lot more federal agencies embracing remote work since the pandemic. From the people in my network working as government employees or contractors, I'd say more than half have more remote work options that they had before, with some going fully remote. There are still stubborn leaders and organizations but remote work has made major inroads in the last few years.

The fact remains that some jobs can't go full remote as a function of security clearance requirements. It's laughable to say, "...so long as the employee has access to a sensitive compartmented information facility (SCIF) in their location," as if SCIF's are readily available around the country, and that somehow it's easy to get a seat in one. If you work for one three letter agency, you can't just sign up for a hotdesk at another three letter agency's SCIF.

The market is shifting in the DC Metro where even cleared jobs are allowing some remote work, but it'll still take some time for organizations to change.
Their post does take into account supply and demand. Giving people a big payout will leave them with a lot more money to spend on stuff, ie, the supply of money will increase massively. Unless there is a similarly massive increase in demand for money (ie, people selling new goods or services), then the relationship between supply and demand will lead to a significant devaluing of money, aka inflation.
CSS class names probably don't benefit much unless you're on such low end hardware that you're worried about client gzip costs (and at some point we have to determine some reasonable floor to client capabilities). These embedded thumbnails would presumably be essentially incompressible.

More than a decade later, and I'm still playing 1 game of l4d2 each weekend with the same people. It is such a great game. (We do play Versus).

That said, many things make COD less fun to me today than in the past, but the root cause is not having dedicated servers. Running into the same people and actually having that sense of community is completely gone now.
Many of these problems are at least partially solved on other UNIX systems like illumos. To run down the top-level list:

1. It's easy for processes to leak

illumos has contracts[1][2][3], which were developed as part of the Service Management Facility[4]. They are another process grouping abstraction that allows SMF to track trees of processes, whether they daemonise or not. They allow for tracking or ignoring certain events (e.g., a fatal signal sent from outside the contract, a process within the contract that aborts and dumps core, if a particular process, or all processes, terminate in some way) and for doing certain kinds of automatic cleanup (e.g., terminate all processes in the contract when the process that owns the contract is terminated). These are managed by the kernel, so they are effectively inescapable even when not held correctly by a user process.

2. It's impossible to prevent malicious processes leaks

This is not really true for us either. Between contracts, and resource controls[5], and privileges[6], I expect one would be able to limit the malicious or accidental escape of processes from supervision or any run-away resource consumption caused by, say, a fork bomb.

3. Processes have global, reusable IDs

This is true on some level, but in practice I think that's just part of UNIX and when you have solved 1-2 and 4 in other ways, it's not actually that bad. If you want to kill everything in a contract you own, even without knowing the full list of pids, you can do that with ct_ctl_abandon(3CONTRACT)[7] which takes a contract file descriptor. The termination action (which could be to tear down all of the processes) will take effect then.

4. Process exit is communicated through signals

This is not entirely true, in the sense that they are by default for classic UNIX applications -- but they need not be. We have forkx(2)[8], which has the FORK_NOSIGCHLD and FORK_WAITPID flags. These request that SIGCHLD is not posted for process termination, and that the classic UNIX wait(2) family of calls will not receive notification or reap children. You can use these from a library, and then manage your own waitid(2) or waitpid(3C) calls on the specific process IDs you are responsible for reaping. You can also use contracts to receive notifications of events about processes within the contract coming and going.

Much software still works like that, for free.

The software that can't be released free often has users that require features that need constant maintenance. API integrations, for instance.

These features aren't really optional anymore to be competitive.
this chain of replies has moved me from 'suspecting a link' to 'positive there's a link'
That's not a great comparison, but it works in a sense. Not all languages and applications benefit from pointers.

The issue is not about k8s being hard. Yes, it has a steep learning curve, but many technologies do. The issue is that learning all of its intricacies, and maintaining it and the services that run on top of it, requires valuable resources many companies don't have, especially early on. And the benefits it provides are, for the most part, not needed early on in a project's lifecycle, and often never. In financial terms, it's very high risk, with low ROI.

If there's a solution that lowers the investment and maintenance costs, while being valuable in the short and long term, then that's generally a more favorable solution for most projects that don't operate at Google's scale.

Google is notoriously bad about this and gets negative attention from it, so the comparison isn't favorable, and the publicity is still wholly deserved.
I think #1 is more attributable to the rising minimum wage. I read the other day that the one job that automation did successfully eliminate was the elevator operator, but I'm quite certain that - like the gas station attendant in states that don't mandate it - it fell victim to the rising minimum wage. It simply became illegal to pay people what these jobs are worth.

I feel probably similar to OP. If I were asking this question, I wouldn't be asking for specific OSS projects to contribute to for value, I would be looking for OSS projects to contribute to for initiation into a community or OSS projects which are very good at on-boarding new contributors.

I guess the question I would be asking is: Which OSS projects having welcoming communities? or Which OSS projects are easy to contribute to? or Which OSS projects have the best onboarding?

As a single question: Which OSS projects will invest in teaching me how to be an OSS contributor/a member of the greater OSS community?
Physical assets generally lose "real" value on their own too, because they degrade or need maintenance. The asset prices might go up but if you sell them to buy other stuff, that other stuff also went up in price (probably higher).

However, high enough inflation does benefit people who borrowed tons of money to hoard more physical assets than they can afford.
I’ve heard of a few buildings around herein Scandinavia (almost empty with businesses downsizing space as contracts lapse) who supposedly have this, and they can’t reduce rents because valuation would drop too much.
> Isn't that a contradiction? If humans never adversely selected against jerkness, how did we evolve kind people?

In my experience, most people aren't all that kind to people they're not related to or well-acquainted with. Those that are tend to be taken advantage of and looked down on.

> Did you mean that people primarily select for physical attractiveness? This reads like you think people never consider non-physical factors, which I think is trivially disprovable.

People do sometimes consider non-physical factors, but only after they filter based on physical attractiveness, and usually that's only for long-term mate selection rather than casual sex or affairs. Like, I'm a complete POS with a horrible attitude and personality, no money or job, and an extensive criminal record, but I never have difficulty finding sex partners because I'm slightly above average in height and have a symmetrical face.

Yes I understand the rationale behind “lots of bodies”.

As OP was rightly pointing out, there is a discrepancy here between output and size.

LinkedIn for example has many of the same issues and a lot more complex functionality. They manage to do this, compete with Indeed (and have a higher market share), with a relatively small number more people.
> You are deeply misunderstanding Kubernetes if you think it's some sort of a turnkey solution that solves all your infrastructure problems. Virtually everything of value in Kubernetes isn't Kubernetes -- you have to add it on later, and manage it yourself. Container runtime? -- that's not Kubernetes. Database to store deployment info? -- that's not Kubernetes. Network setup and management? -- that's not Kubernetes. Storage setup and management? -- still not Kubernetes.

When you install Kubernetes, you get a container runtime. That's a distribution I guess. Part of this seems like GNU/Linux.

The other stuff you're listing isn't solved by MRSK either...

Well the SEC certainly has one point of view.

Unfortunately the CFTC has another view and they both can’t be right so which part of the federal governance applies here?

This ambiguity is why clarity is needed. In the famous words of Matt Levine everything is securities fraud.

It seems obvious that some legal clarity is actually required here.

> Phones and Macs are more expensive than ever.

The phones maybe, but I don't think this is true for their computers. The Powerbook 5300 in 96 started at $2,300, which is ~$4,400 these days. The 2400c in 98 started at $3,499, almost $6,500 today. An original iMac clocked in at $1,299 in that same year, ~$2,400 today, while it's larger PowerMac cousin started at $3,700 or ~$6,800 today! An original Ti Book in 2001 would set you back $2,599 (~$4,400 today), but an iBook could be had for only $1,299 (Just ~2,200 today). It's probably worth remembering too the original Macbook Air had a sticker price of $1,799 in 2008, which is still ~$2,500 in today's dollars.

All of those prices were base model prices. By comparison while the MacPro as the last Intel holdout still comes in at an eye watering $5,999 base, the most expensive base model M* computer apple sells are the 16 inch MBP and the Mac Studio, both starting at just $1999. And for fun, you can still pick up a base iMac for $1,299.

Not that I disagree that Apple has any problem charging enough to make a profit, just that I don't agree that their computers are more expensive than ever.

Hardly matters if something is cheaper when you got automated out of a job entirely.

I stopped buying pretty much anything over $50 from Amazon years ago. A few months back I was looking for a B+W lens filter that was discontinued. Couldn’t find it anywhere… except Amazon. They had one. It was about $140. I figured what hell and bought it.

Not only was it a fake, it was a horrible fake. Cheap fake box and the filter itself… it wasn’t even glass. It was a cheap piece of acrylic in a metal ring. It had no use. It was garbage.

Amazon gave me my money back, but I can’t imagine how fakes this bad get into the pipeline. It’s such a joke.
Restarting daily also ensures you never find entire classes of lurking bugs involving memory leaks, in-memory caches, stuff like that.
The two reasons I disagree with publishing salaries and "ranges" are that a) the implicit collusion creates mean reversion that disadvantages talent, who can afford to leave and go where they are valued and b) the values behind it presume that a job is something paternalistic granted by a manager in return for supplication, and not due consideration for value offered. Together these create a race to the bottom in office culture, where people optimize to compete not on competence and value, but on debasing themselves and attrition with others.

Sure, if you are doing government work, (which is basically a sinecure anyway) this is fine, but any country that implements it will only ever be a kind of outsourced piecework shop, like a maquilladora or "friendshoring," where the real talent who manages the work and handles the money will be in places with rational incentives.

There is a very big difference from being a user of K8s and being someone maintaining a K8s cluster.

If you are a user of K8s, then yeah, deploying apps is pretty simple most of the time.

Maintaining a K8s cluster on the other hand becomes very complex and hard the moment you have use cases that are a few steps off the happy path. The K8s documentation is not sufficient for operating a K8s cluster on your own hardware, you end up having to go spelunking in the code to see how things work (this is from experience).
