I always struggle with conversations around income percentile as the implicit assumption in most cases is that they are pretty static (I.e. that a person at the top, middle, bottom of the scale remains there consistently).

The statistic I’d me more interested in is cumulative earnings adjusted for age + untaxed transfers/benefits (e.g. inheritance or public pension benefits).
Nice to see other alternatives to find. I personally use fd (https://github.com/sharkdp/fd) a lot, as I find the UX much better. There is one thing that I think could be better, around the difference between "wanting to list all files that follow a certain pattern" and "wanting to find one or a few specific files". Technically, those are the same, but an issue I'll often run into is wanting to search something in dotfiles (for example the Go tools), use the unrestricted mode, and it'll find the few files I'm looking for, alongside hundreds of files coming from some cache/backup directory somewhere. This happens even more with rg, as it'll look through the files contents.

I'm not sure if this is me not using the tool how I should, me not using Linux how I should, me using the wrong tool for this job, something missing from the tool or something else entirely. I wonder if other people have this similar "double usage issue", and I'm interested in ways to avoid it.

A friend's spouse wanted to be a professor. They completed a PhD in electrical engineering, and some post-docs. Finding the market too hard, they decided to go back for another PhD, this time in Computer Science.

The friend got a job at Google, and as far as I can tell, is supporting their spouse's dedication to this job search.

This comment does not contain substantiation and only an opinion. So I’ll similarly state mine: this was not an overcorrection at all, it’s less action than is due to right the past wrongs.
You made a rude low quality joke comment that did not contribute to the discussion. So, downvote.

I remember talking to one my professors about this particular research topic I found interesting, and that I’d be interested in working with prof X about this topic. I was told that it was a great idea, it was also important that I understand I would never get a stable job in academia if prof X was my advisor, because of political reasons.

My father ( university professor) told me that unfortunately this was all too common.

I stayed clear of academia after that.
who said it was?
I think the real takeaway is the professor adamantly demanding his postdoc get an interview. In business or academia, leveraging personal connections is the only guaranteed way to make career progress.

What annoys me is that this becomes a simple accounting question. Inequality has only soared like this to the extent that we mark asset portfolios to market rather than to book. Somebody agrees to pay a bit more for a TSLA share and suddenly Musk's net worth has "increased" by a billion dollars, but he owns at the end of the day exactly what he owned at the start of the day.

If we just marked assets to book instead (which makes some sense because there's no way most whales could actually liquidate their holdings at their current price) the world's inequality would plummet.

I used to work at a company where incoming support tickets were just another jira project (FOO-123), it worked great because you could then relate the tickets to actual work items (BAR-123) and while the support tickets weren't public for obvious reasons, the work items were, so customers could easily follow the progress of the work item without having to re-contact support.

My impression was that this level of transparency was extremely appreciated by customers, even in cases where bug fixes were marked as "won't do", usually with a workaround of some kind. This in itself also becomes an invaluable knowledge base over time, not to mention all the other benefits you get from support and engineering tracking their work in the same application.

But of course, like all good things it didn't last, because the company was bought by some other company that thought it was absolutely insane to publicly admit that your software had bugs.
> I'm not really sure what "the problem" with this is?

I think you found it:

> corporations literally cannot act in a way that is not financially optimal without committing a crime

The “problem” is that perverse incentives lead to unethical behavior that most would find distasteful and morally reprehensible.

I don’t understand the criteria for outrage that you’re hinting at. The fact that it’s not government run doesn’t make this less disturbing. It does change where one might direct their outrage.
> Why is this python's problem?

I meant: "Python *has by far the most platform-dependent, brittle programming environment".

> You are choosing to use a c/rust accelerated library.

Especially with something as fundamental as `cryptography`, I don't choose it - it is a given through transitive transitive dependencies.

> If your project were 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗲 c or rust, you would still have to build everything.

That's the whole point: when developing in programming language XYZ, then stay within XYZ's environment: As much as possible, implement stuff by writing in XYZ, and import other stuff following this principle.

Whereas, the moment you or one of your dependencies delegate to other environments, your program inherits and requires additional environments.

So many projects and libraries in Python World have taken the latter approach, resulting in so many Python applications being a cobbled-together Frankenstein diva. It will refuse to work on your users' system, until they have the correct rubyenv, and autoconf version, and npm.

"Huh, why does the user report a problem with npm when installing my Python application?". Well, that could be because unbeknownst to you, whenever you yourself developed, updated, and ran your program, there was always this tiny dependency of a dependency that needs it - you just didn't know about it until this issue report, because your system already had Node and npm set up correctly. That reporting user's not!
This continues a common but remarkably greedy line of thought where the existence of someone, somewhere, with a billion dollars suddenly robs life of all joy for everyone else. This may be a comforting thought to some people but it is also not a defensible position. It doesn't hold logically and as far as I recall all the major religions discourage thinking that way - likely because it leads to bad outcomes.

Poor people looking at the ultra-wealthy as a pot of money isn't going to work. We've seen how that plays out - the ultra wealthy buy up a few media firms and then gently redirect all the anger towards the middle class and/or stirs up social issues.

The focus really should be on absolute living standards and how to raise them. That is much harder to game and also fairer.
Nothing new here.

Though rising interest rates offer hope to people like us to work our asses off to earn 100K+, pay half of our salary in taxes, yet can't afford house in London.

I recently wrote an essay that goes into some detail about originality:

These painters illustrate the two “sauce strategies”:

• Vermeer: combining ingredients from multiple fields (e.g. engineering, optics, art) into new flavor profiles

• Picasso: diving so deep into a discipline that you discover new ingredients

[0] https://taylor.town/secret-sauce

You might also be interested in "oblique strategies". The endless creative space can be overwhelming, so focusing on constraints and restrictions can make things easier.

There's plenty of interesting constraints to explore in software. Can you build a Minecraft clone in 512KB? Can you build a web framework in Forth? Can you make a modern web-app without a single if- or switch- statement? And so on.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblique_Strategies
Yes. The original SPSS is THE tool for researchers in psychology and other humanities when doing (advanced) statistics, since R requires familiarity with a command line/basic programming concepts.

I guess for basic statistics Excel might get used a lot too
If the distribution of sample means tends to Gaussian, then the distribution of sample sums tend to the same Gaussian (except scaled.)

So if the original X_i are drawn from any distribution with defined with mean m and variance s², then the CLT says that in the limit, the sample mean is distributed N(m, s), and, equivalently, the sample sum is distributed N(nm, sqrt(n)s).

The question is when the "in the limit" results starts being practically useful, and that depends on the distribution of the original X_i.

The idea behind this proposal is what I feared the moment remote attestation(-ability) started to gain traction on clients.

Google will arguably kill legacy SafetyNet (which is circumventable, as it's not rooted in hardware) soon. Microsoft pushes extremly hard for remote attestation-ability by requiring TPMs. Very soon only an insignificant number of client devices will not be able to perform remote attestation by the major vendors based on hardware trust modules.

Hard to stay optimistic for the open web. :/
If the parent is talking about the Windows search software Everything (https://www.voidtools.com/), it does index the files (but unsure of how, it's relatively quick compared to other Windows tools that does the same, so probably some magic involved?) at startup, then continuously indexes (as far as I can tell) but then after that the searches are instant.

Edit: Found some answers (https://www.voidtools.com/faq/):

Re indexing:

> How long will it take to index my files?

> "Everything" only indexes file and folder names and generally takes a few seconds to build its database. A fresh install of Windows 10 (about 120,000 files) will take about 1 second to index. 1,000,000 files will take about 1 minute.

Re changes:

> Does "Everything" monitor file system changes?

> Yes, "Everything" does monitor your file systems for all changes. Your search results will update in real-time to reflect any changes. Everything will automatically keep your NTFS indexes up to date with the NTFS USN Journal. Changes will not be missed when Everything is not running as the system maintains the NTFS USN Journal.

I've not interacted with GCP support very often, but I have used GCP extensively for the past 3 years coming from an AWS background previously.

All in all it's been a good experience and it's become my favourite cloud. I find the documentation spot on for the most part, and covering things in both approachable language and diving deep where needed.

The IAM system is easy to use, GKE workload identity works great, PubSub works a dream and Big Query is amazing (though pricey!). SDK's are well documented and generally have nice APIs as well.

We've had very little reason to need support, operating a bunch of GKE clusters, VPNs to various partners plenty of databases, buckets, message queues, etc (non trivial setup)

I do have some minor gripes that come to mind:

- Cloud SQL not having a richer API, I'd love to be able to manage postgres permissions by IAM group membership, and grant/revoke postgres roles using the rest API instead of connecting as a postgres user (it'd make secure automation via terraform etc easier if I could lean on IAM)

- VPC peering only allowing "one hop", which necessitates proxies even when using private service connect with two GCP products in some instances (eg: cloud SQL to datastream - why can't we just peer the two Google managed VPCs together? That would also avoid the proxy in our VPC)

- On datastream, why can't I grant a Google managed service account IAM access to postgres instead of configuring a user/pass based user?

- Why can't I configure a longer token expiration for artefact registry? When developing locally I don't want to reauth npm every 30 minutes

- Occasionally missing APIs prevent automation using terraform

So like anything it's not perfect but it also has felt like it's continuously improved overtime so I remain a happy developer

Assuming square coops, four small coops have literally double the attack surface compared to one big coop of equal total area. The ratio only gets worse when you divide them up further. The impact of a breach may be less for many small coops, but breaches will happen more often as well.
Perhaps the most important event of my life was discovering I have autism at age 33. Many things that didn't make sense suddenly did. I pointed my hyperfocus inward to my own mind, at first because I had lost the ability to code and make a living, and wanted to heal my "coding injuries" as I had called them. I had become an atheist at age 20 and primarily had used psychology to try and figure out what was happening.

I studied Buddhism under a mentor and realized that many of the principles applied regardless of your beliefs about cosmology. The idea that all problems humans face can be summarized as "greed, ignorance, and aversion" was a useful frame. These helped me triangulate the ultimate source of my burnout to unmet family expectations that I had for many years tried to live up to but could not. Confronting my family about these expectations and taking responsibility for my own life was absolutely key in my healing.

These days I don't exactly have a set practice but I still live with my mentors. They started a syncretic monastery that welcomes all traditions, and observing the similarities and differences between worldviews has been quite eye opening. The most valuable practice I take from all this is a honed awareness of the root causes of suffering, and I've found that once the root cause is identified, it becomes possible to release it.
I'm not a hacker; I'm a blacksmith. But I recently found Speedcrunch, and really like it. I'm wondering about its future, though. There don't seem to have been any changes in several years, and I can't even find a way to donate to the developers. I don't want to get dependent on an application that has a limited lifespan; it's happened to me too often, both with computer apps and physical tools.

Does anyone have any info that could help me?

So I looked around for real figures of merit on these things - efficiency is but one. One thing I noticed is that every press release failed to mention the heat flux of these devices.

Gscholar to the rescue.

\DeltaT = 5 K and a max Q of 135mW/cm^2 for a research device from MIT. Note, max Q implies \DeltaT of 0K [1]

On digikey I pulled up the first data sheet I could find. [2] https://www.cuidevices.com/product/resource/cp60.pdf

The CO60133 can pump 10 W @ 10K. Max Q is 12W from an Sa of 2.5 cm.

Or a Q of 4W/cm^2 @ \DeltaT of 10K. Or 30 times better for the Peltier device.

These devices are cool, but they're not even remotely powerful enough to replace Peltier devices, never mind traditional refrigerants.

Inequality is off the charts in western civilization. There is a bigger wealth divide now then in the times of the robber Barons of oil and train.

Using the the top 10 percent of incomes is meaningless….because the divide here is astronomical.

It is really the the top 1 percent of earners (and honestly a fraction of that) that hold all the wealth. The ultra elite wealthy like to hide in groups like the top ten percent to avoid being signaled out for just how much obscene wealth they control.

The way wealth is controlled, printed, shifted by policies and large banking institutions we are living in almost a modern feudal like system.

That's a great history.

I did spot some small errors:

> Tim Paterson at Seattle Computer Products had developed a reverse engineered CP/M for 8086 S-100 bus microcomputers, DOS-86.

You have the name backwards. It was 86-DOS.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/86-DOS

> Lineo eventually sold to DeviceLogistics in 2002.

DeviceLogics.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeviceLogics

> The last versions were DR-DOS 8.1 and EDR-DOS 7.01.08 WIP 2011.

Hang on. This is conflating 2 entirely separate lines of development.

DrDos Inc continued work and released DR-DOS 8 and 8.1. However, it was shown that they used code from FreeDOS without giving credit and without releasing the source. The product was withdrawn.

Earlier, in 1997, Caldera released some of the DR-DOS 7.01 source code under a permissive but not FOSS license:
https://www.zx.net.nz/netware/drdos/caldera.shtml

It changed its mind and withdrew it again as of 7.02, which was once again closed source. (Apparently the company found some old Novell backup tapes and was able to re-incorporate some Novell bug fixes which had been lost.)

Udo Kuhnt picked up this open source, and continued enhancing it. That is where Enhanced DR-DOS comes from. It's entirely separate and parallel to DrDos Inc's work on v8.

> From Lineo forward it would appear that Udo Kuhnt was the lead developer/manager.

He was an independent FOSS developer working on the open source code for the DR kernel 7.01. He had nothing to do with Lineo at all. (AFAIK!)
It was just one example, but Netflix is trash in web browsers anyway. Firefox should say no to all of this - it doesn't feel like it now, but saying no could birth alternative services that don't operate in such a manner.

Not technology related exactly, but until recent events I thought Reddit would survive and be untouchable. Now I'm wondering why I didn't join the fediverse sooner. There are rough spots but it will surpass centralized solutions.

We are at a turning point and should say no to all garbage. They need us more than we need them.
I just figured the writer tasted it and perished.
> I feel like I've seen this article dozens of time before. Where are the new insights?

Why do there have to be new insights? Inequality has been a persistent problem, and it's only been getting worse. The problem needs to be consistently highlighted, not tossed under the rug.

It's like global warming. Researchers have known about it for a long time, and there are no "new insights" except that it continues to exist and is getting worse.
Including but not limited to Apu, the pervasive caricaturing of brown skinned people in Western media as nothing but cringeworthy clowns or treacherous villains is hurtful to me personally.

> I just want to iterate over lines in a file

No... you don't. You specifically said you wanted to do this without allocating and minimal copying. That's a different problem than "just iterate over lines in a file."

> I’m not allocating, so the GC doesn’t matter.

Of course it does. The GC manages the lifetimes for you. In your C code, you manage the lifetimes yourself and likely rely on the caller to not fuck things up.
> Where are the new insights?

The new insight is that inequality keeps rising and the more we say "nothing new here" the more we boil the frog.
