Interesting post but take note that it's talking about median compensation (not salary) and it covers all roles and positions in a company.

This means that these figures are not 100% useful for software engineering positions. Also these companies are mainly US focused and us in the EU can only dream of such high compensation numbers :-/

The numbers from this Google SIGMETRICS09 paper are my usual benchmark for thinking about ECC DIMMs:

https://www.cs.toronto.edu/~bianca/papers/sigmetrics09.pdf

Their metric of “25,000 to 70,000 errors per billion device hours per megabit” is a bit hard to grapple with. If you assume each error is a single bit then that’s 20 to 50 bytes per GB DIMM per month, or one bit per GB every two hours.
> Ivory is a fantastic UI for Mastodon.

for Mastodon being key here because they still haven't made it able to correctly talk to non-Mastodon instances (I'm convinced[1] this is because they've used `int64` for their status IDs despite the spec saying don't.)

[1] My Akkoma instance shows no posts - status IDs are opaque, non-`atoi`-able strings. My GotoSocial instance shows many posts but they are all the same post - status IDs all currently being with `01` which would explain the presence of posts and all being the same. In summary, stupid.

> From an economic standpoint, there is no sense in small scale farming.

I don't think this is true everywhere. It likely requires the right supply chain to work, but here in France small family farms are doing fine for instance. They have to go sell their products to local markets on top of growing them, but it's a sustainable business.
Looked at the staff list for a product manager, or a UX designer ... eventually found "product and business development manager" (and "product design manager" and almost everyone else is an engineer. I'm guessing the product and design people are super overstretched and don't have a lot of sway. So that would explain why the UX is what it is.

I thought the chirps where actually not spanning more than a channel band worth of frequency?

Also you cannot control the frequencies according to the spec.

You need lower frequencies for range and control over those frequencies to not saturate the ether.

The bandwidth will be low for these radiomesh networks, but if you build a robust enough routing and get enough channels (300 with 5KHz separation) you can scale.

If Secure Scuttlebutt had taken off at scale, blocking access to content could have been harder. It is not without security risks, but I found data transfer via local mesh networks a powerful capability.

I'll explain a bit. If Alice has some content to share but no internet access, Alice will sync posts (automatically) with Bob when he visits her. Then when Carol meets Bob, she gets uploads from Bob and 2 levels of his friends (not all of whom Carol might know). If Carol had some way to get online (or if she travels outside), Bob and his friends' data become available much more widely. It's basically a mesh network of friends, so much like the real world.

With the value add he offers it makes it a great deal for me. I don't care if other make money on me, even lots of money, as long as it is a good deal for me.

In fact, I actually see it as good sign if people make money on the services they provide me, as it will both incentivize them to continue providing these services as well as encouraging others to start competing providers.

> with a history of "attracting customers at one price, then increasing the price substantially"

I got in at an really low price and got grandfathered into a deal that is still the best in the market. They have announced the change in a clear way and since I was free to cancel anytime I wanted I cannot complain.

Had I been tied to the service somehow I would probably have been annoyed even if the service was the same and the price hike was the same, but I wasn't and I find this to be within expectations for an early stage start up.

> who flags HN posts bringing these facts to the public's attention

I'm not aware of this. Would you care to link some sources?

If not I would just expect it was a totally unreasonable post and some happy customer like me flagged it. (And on a side note: While non YC companies aren't bound to YC standards I really hope most companies who frequent HN stick to the standard of not flagging complaints against themselves.)

For some of us, a working search engine can save us significant amount of time every day. After first having had a working search engine for years, then lost it and struggled for years with workarounds, I'd say my enthusiasm is rather understandable.

And I know this is not everyone's experience, but with my search patterns, and in the bucket Google has put my account, I get irrelevant results all the time and I get irrelevant and insulting ads all the time.

After working on vba for MSAccess for a few years I came to both appreciate and hate it.

It’s fast, small in features compared to modern languages, but a pleasure to hack around and find ways to expand its capabilities.

I made simple ORM with it, autogenerating classes from a database, went into the rabbit hole of modernising the dialog box to properly display unicode and make it richer, extended it with string classes taken from .Net, played with COM, the ribbon, etc

Maddening at time but so satisfying to play with. And it was for a useful purpose.
What struck me was the degree to which AI LMs want to uphold the vision and expectations that we set for them. I found it hopeful and comforting.

Yes, I have mixed feelings about this too, of course more for the effect it has on me than the model! As the conversation went on I definitely tried to take it in a positive direction.

But I do feel we have an obligation to understand this technology and map the contours of its boundaries.

I wonder if a key difference between the Bronze Age and our age is that we have perfected the art of “collapse”, to the point where we are collapsing all over the place all the time - and we call it change.

One could look at countries like the US or UK, and compare their coal-based economy of 1800 with their oil-based economy of two hundred years later, and conclude that these are two radically different societies - but it was a gradual transition, not a collapse of one order and its replacement by another.

In the article, there is supreme overconfidence that the then-current ways of doing things would remain the same forever. But I don’t see this viewpoint as a prevailing force in our current society. We positively fetishize new tech and change.

It's also nonsense that blacks are intrinsically less productive. Nowhere does he say that. Quite the contrary, he is of the belief that blacks would face less discrimination in a stateless society with a free market, which he is certainly in favor of.
What in particular do you think I have backwards?

If I have a medium size order, then even though they lower the spread they also front-run and limit how much I can buy at that price. So I'd rather have them not be there.

If I have a tiny order, then I don't care what the spread is within reasonable bounds, and I still don't want them to be there.
They are trying to solve a systemic issue of how credit is given/shared in academia/research with bad typography.

My gripe with their proposal is, if I print a research paper, then the author information is just useless for looking up a reference. There is information loss/degradation.

Listing names in alphabetical order and including a statement that all authors share equal credit ought to be sufficient, in theory. Changing centuries of practice across thousands of institutions around the globe --- nearly impossible.

A better solution would be a standard like DOI but for authorship. That should be a simple microformat that has the contributor list, role and who the primary author(s) are. Over a period of time, all citations can be migrated to that format with an authorship URL embedded.
Not OP but I've really enjoyed the He Who Fights Monsters series by Shirtaloon and Orconomics: A Satire by J. Zachary Pike.

First hour or so of HWFM was a little rough, but then it hit its stride and here I am 9 audible credits later, ready for the 10th to be out. Was entertained the whole way through.

IMO J. Zachary Pike has better writing technique, but hasn't released as much. I'm presuming the extra polish costs more time to author.

>discriminate against older and more experienced people -- a practice so widespread in tech we joke about it. Hint: seniority usually implies higher pay, lower chance of getting blinded by free pizza and dry cleaning, and more independence of thought in the workplace. Less work experience usually means a more compliant employee.

As someone who started in the industry in the mid-1980s, this practice was very well known back then, as I'm sure it was very well known before then.

At the start of my career in my mid-20s, we all talked about it all the time - that by 35-40, you are either in management or whatever else. But not a coder, for the most part, except for exceptions.
Seems SSDs are reaching the end game with ~8TB on a 2.5" platter.

Now you just need to nail the peak of $/GB, I'm looking at both 870 EVO / QVO, they have 4TB versions for $300.

For "write once" or append only data these could work well, think user registry or sequential log.

But you need to offload the active data on SLC drives or take the risk of the wearing driver firmware in the exact devices you buy/patch.

The OS needs to be on SLC anyhow.

Several years ago, I started supplementing with vitamin D (D3, by the way; there is a difference) due to a history of cancer on one side of the family. I wasn't expecting to feel anything. Within two days, my mood stabilized significantly. It took me about a week of first noticing this and then thinking about what had changed in my life, to reach the hypothesis that it was the vitamin D. That was when I started noticing and paying attention to reporting and comments regarding this effect.

It's significantly more effective than any pharmaceutical or other supplement I've taken with this purpose in mind.

And, like the parent comment, I had to discover it and figure it out on my own.

If I discontinue the vitamin D, the effect goes away. Except in the summer, if and only if I'm outside and getting plenty of sun exposure.

By the way, I think that initial dose was 1000 or 2000 IU, daily. Not an "extreme" dose, compared to some I hear about, but significantly more than the U.S. FDA's recommended daily allowance (RDA).

AS I understand it, the FDA's RDA was developed (decades ago) as basically the amount that prevents rickets disease.

These days, I take it together with some K2. Supposedly, the K2 helps keep calcium fixed in your bones; higher doses of vitamin D work to mobilize it, both weakening bones and causing calcium deposits where you don't want them. CAUTION: This is what I've heard from some medical professionals, but I can't vouch for it.

With vitamin D supplementation, as with most things, moderation and appropriate dosing are probably important. However, my OPINION based upon my experience is that the FDA's RDA is too low.

Right now it seems microvms are the way. Build an extremely minimal tailored kernel+userland for network-facing components. If you don't have nf_tables built-in (and it's not loadable because not present) this vulnerability isn't a problem. I mean, right now to use it one would have to chain it with a RCE on your userland app (or on the kernel but just skip the nf_tables step then...). Then one would have to escape the VM, then if you're using firecracker or crosvm, you'll have to break seccomp. Still imaginable, but by then I guess the next kernel (or userland app) fix release is already available :-) and you're already rebooting your microvm.

If you can CI/CD in minutes a reduced kernel+app and reboot in 100ms your network-facing thing (be it nginx or haproxy) you might just take latest vanilla anyway...
