I hear this often from people who don't live in the Bay Area and I always question what numbers are being used.

This calculator [1] shows a take home salary of around 100k, including a full 401k contribution.

Here is a random Zillow listing [2] for a 1-bedroom apartment in the Marina District for 3.7k. This is one of the most expensive neighborhoods in SF, so surely you can find cheaper, roommates or not.

That would leave you with 4.5k per month for expenses like food, any debts, transportation, entertainment, etc. $150 per day.

Is that too little to shelve away some profits? When I last looked in other major metro areas, the cash in pocket at the end of the month was similar or worse, even if it was a smaller percentage of salary.

Apropos to a submission about Vitamin D that was a couple of links above this article is the fact that it ignores quality of life.

Sometimes it seems that medical researchers don't actually care about health, they only care about numbers, because numbers are easy.

During an annual checkup a couple of years back I mentioned that I had "been feeling down and sluggish quite a bit lately" and my doctor said "hmmm, might be vitamin d, we'll see with your bloodwork".

Wonder of wonders my vitamin d was low, I started supplementing it, and once my levels got back to normal I unquestionably, irrefutably, CAUSATIONALLY, felt better. My quality of life improved.

I didn't know Vitamin D was tied to energy and mental health issues. Sure there are at-home tests now, but there weren't any back then and I wouldn't have known to take one anyways.

How many people are living shitty lives because of something simple that could be caught during an annual blood test?

Researchers: "We don't care, those numbers are hard to get. Deaths are easy to count."

I think GP meant customer service not mechanical service. Very few gasoline stations have a mechanic on duty anymore.

And you overstate the mechanical maintenance needs of a modern gasoline car. Yes they need oil changes, which are quick and fairly inexpensive. For the most part they will go 100k miles if not more with little else but brakes and tires (which EVs need also). PCV valves and O2 sensors are stupidly simple devices, especially in comparison to the electronic and computer systems needed to make an EV work.

“I was able to reassure myself, by checking these private discussion places, that there were good people, fighting for the right thing to be done. That things weren’t irremediably broken. That there was hope for improvement in the near future.”

From the linked article, that probably makes it clear that they believe Rust Leadership screwed up, and probably represents why naming individuals might not be helpful, and could hurt the project even more than this episode already has.

The real question is what is the fix, and they need to implement it soon.

I mostly consume videogame soundtracks as my background music. My downloader script solves several problems:

- I can play the entire OST on company / otherwise awful internet, where bandwidth is not free

- The player doesn't pause midway through every 3rd track to obnoxiously ask me if I'm "still listening"

- When the OST inevitably vanishes from youtube, I still have it to listen to

(Mind that many of these OSTs are not available for purchase where I live, so this isn't a "vote with my wallet" sort of situation. Nintendo in particular is real bad about this.)

There are other more elegant solutions, but unfortunately the means through which I've purchased the game's soundtrack the normal way (the game itself) is generally a poor means to actually listen to it. I would pay for this service if it existed; where's spotify for soundtracks? But no, it doesn't exist, so tech solutions get to deal with the problems. I do at least pay for YouTube Premium, that's the closest thing, but I'm not going to suffer its various inconveniences if there's a better option for the actual playback.
So your experience is exactly the same: Online US-controlled media can create uprest, extremism, hate subgroups in foreign countries at will.
> saturated fats are generally bad and should be minimized in the human diet.

About 30 years out of date, based on corrupt fraudulent industry "research", completely ignoring recent studies over the past 20 years which have debunked all of that. We need saturated fat. It is essential. Animal fats are loaded with fat soluble vitamins you won't get from industrial seed oil. Vegetable oils are toxic rancid garbage loaded with Omega-6 and 100% deficient in fat soluble nutrients.

The argument Churchill is great, is the western version of history, a majority of of the world do not agree with that ridiculous assessment, because of the internet western version of history is increasingly getting challenged and I understand it is making you uncomfortable.
After a slight pivot as a mid level employee in the cloud consulting department (ie I make about 10% less than the equivalent developer). I make more than my former CTO at a startup.

We were talking at lunch one day after I left and we started talking about. Don’t cry for him. The prior company we worked at together, had an exit that was 10x revenue and he left soon afterwards.

He is in his 50s and said he was just working now because he “didn’t have anything better to do” since his wife who has a VP of data analytics at a telecom wasn’t ready to retire.

He did say that he has never made that much at any of the smaller companies he worked at. Again, he’s doing well for himself. It doesn’t take that much money in the grand scheme of things to have a good living “only” making in the mid to high 100s in most metro areas in the US.

I had my first house built in the burbs (2500 square feet) making $70K in 2002 and my second (3500 square feet) making $135k in 2016.

I've talked to a few folks about the career developer relations. I have been doing it since 2019, which doesn't make me an expert, but I've seen some things. Devrel jobs vary wildly based on company culture, size, and understanding of how developers work.

But the one piece of advice I'd feel comfortable giving anyone considering devrel is to work as a developer for 2-5 years. You'll have a deeper understanding of the space and how developers think and work.

Not doing this is like trying to deliver a product to real estate agents or lawyers without having been one. It's possible, but much more difficult.

> downgrade was not racially motivated, thankfully

Who would have suspected this was racially motivated?

Not to defend any actions by anyone, but a keynote is an unusual place to talk about experimental feature a language is considering (unless it's a small component of a bigger update/forecast). That said once the decision was made they should have gone through with it.
I gess the point is not to blame whoever did this, but to change the system, so that no single person can have the authority to do something like this again.
It includes all the people who support the policies I mentioned. Pretty ineffective race card attempt, I must say. What was it meant to accomplish?

> In fact, I think it basically came from a niche group of Gopher hobbyist users who wanted to fix a few longstanding annoyances with Gopher.

To me Gemini looks like it was made by people that fetishized the idea of Gopher after reading about without ever have actually used it.

Gopher was not about reading documents, it was a way to map to resources. Those resources might be files or other servers. It was an improvement over FTP since gophermaps (menus) could be customized and link to servers rather than just files.

You could abuse information messages in a gophermap to make a readable document but it wasn't part of the RFC. You also had to make some terminal width assumptions because there wasn't a good way to control text reflow.

Gopher was interesting up until you used the web.

It was during the lunch time during a short conversation. There likely wasn’t time to play anything without soaking up a lot of time.

Also, I’ve met lots of audio people who seem to like the design of the system more than actually listening to music.

Of course it's necessary and desirable. The "categorization system" in question already exists, whether it ought to or not. Bipoc have a more difficult socioeconomic situation, because of their skin color. Should "LGBTQ+" as a category not exist, because they are people just like straight people?

It is useful and meaningful to talk about the plight and state of, and advocate for, "Group XYZ that has been marginalized and experienced systemic violence throughout history, specifically because they are XYZ"

It is ridiculous that ThePrimeagen has been called out (without whom I wouldn't have taken interest in learning Rust). He has been an avid supporter of Rust until the trademark fiasco broke out. No where did he "rile up the masses" or "added fuel to the fire". The trademark draft was really bad. End of story.

> Except, it’s never just that one person, you know? Otherwise I could burn myself by outing them, and do the whole community a favor. It’s really more like those 4 or 5 persons.

This is why I find it hypocritical. In the entire document there is no mention of even one person (or these group of insiders) who are creating these issues in the community. However, the one outsider who has been vocally supporting Rust (even made an entire Rust course on Frontend Masters) is being targeted.

Should tell you everything there is to tell about how the community has devolved.

We tried to add io_uring support to libnbd (and indeed still hope to do so). There's a bit of an "impedance mismatch" between existing event-driven code and io_uring, not impossible, but also not completely easy to just convert code. Especially when you want to keep the non-io_uring code working (for old Linux, BSD etc).

To give an example, libnbd does a lot of send and recv system calls interleaved, for sending requests and receiving replies, with a complicated state machine to keep track of when we would block. It's still not obvious how to convert this to an io_uring style where you have to add the send/recv requests to the submission queue and then separately pick up the responses from the completion queue. It's a particular problem dealing with possible errors and keeping the API the same (if you just call exit when you hit any error, it's a lot easier).

If you're writing all new code then io_uring is a great choice.
Youtube lacks a button “Show me something else”.

How much simpler can it be, given that everything seems to already be flat and borderless?

Mobile UIs seem to be quite primitive in comparison.

In other words, this is entirely a software problem.

These things can be true simultaneously. The Rust team can have extremely strong technical leadership and direction while also being incredibly immature when it comes to conflict resolution.

Conflict resolution is hard! I struggle with it as an engineer who wants to please everyone, but I also recognize that it isn't possible to.

Whoever had objections to the talk and was not able to express those objections to their teammates in the proper forum before taking action without their approval is just... immature. It violated trust amongst the Rust leadership team, and trust is everything.

It’s actually even worse, because this person also wielded enough power to represent Rust to RustConf, and did so incorrectly. They seem problematic.

Leading people is always messy and requires the maturity to deal with failures gracefully, and a catastrophic failure from a simple task is not confidence-inspiring. I love Rust, so I hope they get their shit together.

> Part of me is very disappointed at ThePrimeagen.. For riling up the masses, adding fuel to the fire, creating the exact opposite of the climate we need to solve these issues.

Isn't public controversy the exact atmosphere these blog posts and resignations, for lack of a better word -- drama, is meant to foment?

FTR I think Prime is just as wrong about this as anyone. The real issue was the issue re: trademark, etc. The real issue here is a failure of leadership. When you're in leadership and someone does something bad, why resign? Why not request an apology? When it's not given, why not build support for an apology? When an apology is again not forthcoming, you can publicly resign, but when you do, maybe some others will too, and you can say "10 of us signed a letter requesting an apology, including 3 members of his/her own team, and it was refused"?

Some technical people are unsurprisingly bad at leadership duties, and sometimes tactless, because these are difficult things, and we need to stop pretending they aren't.

There is no quick fix, but someone needs to do something other than just resign, because it's not leadership, and so far it's proven to do very little other than create more drama.

> It’s really more like those 4 or 5 persons. And it’s not like they’re really bad people, it’s more like they tend to… use back channels rather than follow process? Or they have too many responsibilities, and are unable to fulfill all of them properly? Or maybe they don’t listen enough?

If it's 4-5 people, it sounds more like there is a cultural problem that needs to be fixed, and if I were to guess that cultural problem is -- there perhaps need to be soft-technical PM-like, senior statesmen tracks. There needs to be someone not involved in the day to day who can listen, help settle disputes, smooth things over, and direct/focus teams, because it doesn't sound like these technical people are acting like leaders. And jerky behavior should have consequences.
