My first computer was an Apple 2 plus clone from Hong Kong. My dad was a teacher on a military base in Okinawa and a pilot friend offered to get one for us.

It was $1000 for the computer, two floppy drives, green monitor, dot matrix printer, 80 column card, z80 card, joystick, paddles, and a pack of 10 games.

At that time an Apple 2 alone cost $1200, IIRC.

The computer itself was superior to an Apple in many ways: it had built in keyboard shortcuts (e.g. ctrl-6 for “PR#6” to reboot from floppy), lower case letters, and 64k on the motherboard.

I’m torn: Then at 8 years old I didn’t understand that it was contraband, but OTOH there’s no way my family could have afforded such a system on my dad’s salary as a fifth grade teacher. It gave me a head start on programming that only rich kids my age had.

We almost moved to Austin during the pandemic. Luckily my wife's potential job offer fell through so we stayed in the Bay Area. We've heard of friends of friends who sold their Bay Area house during the pandemic, moved to Austin, but now can't move back because they can't afford to sell their house and take a loss, and then come back and get a 7% mortgage on double the house price.

I think we would have been okay in Austin, but the things I've heard from close friends from Texas are:

1) Austin is not like SF Bay Area at all. People around here seemed convinced by the myths that Austin was like a liberal oasis in a Republican desert but it's not like that at all. It's more liberal than rural Texas but it's still Texas.

2) There's only desert and rolling hills for 3+ hours around. No water, no mountains, etc unless you make a long road trip. It's not like the SF Bay Area where you have water, desert, mountains, etc all very close by.

You must have an incredibly fancy house. My property taxes aren't even $20k (far from it, more like $12k) for a 2400sqft 4 bedroom house with a pool with pretty good DART access just down the street from a nice city park.

Just paying $20k would place the assessed home value after exemptions at >$970k. Standard homestead exemption is $40k, so $1.1M for actual assessed value. But you're saying $20k above whatever you're paying already, I'm guessing you're probably paying close to $20k since you're looking at >$1M homes, so in reality you're looking at like >$1.5M homes. That's an incredibly fancy house, far more than normal. That's more than twice the average price of a house in Plano, a pretty nice place to live if you're gonna live in Texas.

I work with German bureaucracy. There are so many bureaucratic tasks where a little bit of development work would completely change the game. Adding clarity and guidance to bureaucratic processes has a huge impact. I've written some form fillers and I'll write more in the future.

There are lots of tiny problems that affect immigrants, and that can be solved with minimal development work. Right now I'm writing a bank comparison tool specifically for immigrants. Bank requirements can often exclude them and most comparators leave that out. It's a profitable problem to solve, too, since you get a commission for the leads you generate.

So to answer your question: compassion. We need software engineers who care about their users as people.
> very well compensated workers
> the only pitched seemed to be affordability

I think that is the key point, if you have money to burn, sure it's great in California, but a lot of people really are having a hard time making it work and are moving specifically for the affordability. This includes junior devs from what I'm seeing.
Why do you assume it's the only education? It's clearly a way to make money which is needed to get by in some particular society they happen to be in. Maybe they don't get the exact same uniform training as at regular schools but I don't know whether it's as "fucked up" as those schools are in many countries.
Come to CA.

If you make over $66k, your income tax is 9.3%, going up to 13.3% if you make FANG money.

We have a roughly 10% sales tax.

You'll pay about 1.25-1.5% of your overpriced home's value in property tax annually.

And your car is going to cost you a few $hundred to register every year.

If you're a fan of any specific kind of tax, we've got them all here.
Is that the spot price or price for all electricity consumed in the state? Depending on how the market is structured it's very possible that there's different prices paid depending on the type of contract. For instance the utility might be paying one generator a fixed price for base load, and gets the remainder on the spot market. On hot days the spot market might be $5000, but that's not the price the utility pays for all electricity at that moment, because it also has electricity supplied from lower priced contracts.

You're citing old data. The summer of 2023 has been recorded, and 110F is not much of an exaggeration:

https://weatherspark.com/h/y/8004/2023/Historical-Weather-du...

I moved away from Austin in the late 80s partly to get away from the heat, and it's gotten steadily worse since: The heat island is more profound now that Austin is so much bigger, climate change is happening, and El Nino made the summer of 2023 in Texas unbearable. Keep in mind these temperatures are accompanied by very high humidity.

And if you think the heat is uncomfortable in Austin, in Houston it's moreso.

Apple’s been slowly moving to USB C for the past 7-8 years (laptops, then iPads). I think they might have had the first USB C laptop, the 12” MacBook, in 2015. And apple was one of the designers of USB-C.

> it encourages pets and not cattle.

How so? From the rest of your comment it sounds like you may be saying that target environments are the pets, but ArgoCD makes no assumption about that. It will deploy to any cluster you configure it to deploy to, and spinning up a cluster is a logically (very!) separate operation from deploying an app. Argo only deals with the latter.

If you want something to actually provision an ephemeral environment for you, ArgoCD is not the tool. It's more focused than that, and that's its strength. All it does is deploy k8s manifests out of git to whatever cluster you tell it to deploy them to. That cluster could be ephemeral or not, it doesn't matter to Argo.
Your anecdote actually reinforces my comment. See my comment below for context - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37378513

Your "Amplifier" is more like what is known as a "Field Applications Engineer" in the Embedded industry i.e. somebody with enough Domain/Technical/Marketing/Sales skills fulfilling a tangible need for the Business. They are more a "Business Process Optimizer" than a "People Amplifier"(a term i made up :-) who i define as somebody who can spark creativity/insights/viewpoints etc. which push others forward in their problem-solving endeavours.

Mixo is a great product. I noticed it a while ago as a website builder powered by AI.

On the other hand, Bovind takes a simpler route by getting straight to what your product is about, its problem statement, and its proposed solution. Users don't need to think about design and how it will look in the ideation phase, making the process shorter and clearer.

Perhaps it will lower the barrier and help you achieve similar goals faster and more efficiently than you would using Mixo.

There was no claim of racism, there was speculation that was reasonably on topic and at least somewhat credible given the history of racial disparities in sentencing rules. Downvoting this speculation as low value is also fine since it doesn't really add any constructive value to the conversation.

The only thing here that is close to "deeply inappropriate" was the response asserting that this speculation constitutes a "flamewar" (which is not what that term means at all) rather than bothering to try to refute the speculation with any real information or data that would contribute to creating a constructive discussion.
You don't really know if you'd lose on an inflation adjusted basis unless we knew what they'd charge for the same (or a similar, if there is such a thing) device today vs back then. If it was $100 in 2014 and $100 today, sure. If it was $100 in 2014 and today they'd sell it for $1000 then no, you'd have beaten inflation.
It's rather about Go's inadequacy and shortcomings as a language. They could write C# or Java Go-style and get much, much higher throughput and efficiency. C# also lets you write lower-level and/or Rust style code to push the language which is not an option in Go.
> This is what happens when you buy literally anything.

Well presumably if you buy from the sole creator of a product, they're justly compensated as they could simply refuse the sale. Buying from a privately owned enterprise allows the owners of the enterprise to siphon off of the work of the people who actually build the phone without contributing anything themselves. That doesn't sit right with me, and it doesn't sit right with a lot of people. This creates hugely perverse incentives that magnify to global economic dysfunction and inefficiency and irrational resource distribution and social volatility. The world we live in!

I would also suggest OTR's video on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OupK3x8ujw which also covers the importance of Holy Basil, talks about other variants of Pad Krapao that are little known outside of Thailand, and also a little bit of the history behind the dish.
I've got a different theory. Tradespeople prioritize based on how much a job pays. So if you haggle them down, make them deal with insurance, or your type of job doesn't command much money, they'll happily keep you in their queue as an option in case work dries up, but won't be interested in doing your job as long as they're getting paid more for doing other jobs.
Qing Dynasty China had "decoupled" its currency from specie by way of the first paper-based currency I'm aware of. See: Richard von Glahn, Fountain of Fortune: Money and Monetary Policy in China 1000-1700 (1996).

But that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with decoupling the actual economy from its physical foundations. Long after Qing, China remained fundamentally dependent on rice and wheat harvests (and suffered tremendous population losses, as much as 8 million deaths) many centuries later.

The wealth-tracking representation has been decoupled from any substance with intrinsic value, but the economy has not.

Put another way: you could have a monetary system in which currency was entirely backed in precious gold and silver, and introduce huge quantities of same to your economy ... without increasing the actual wealth of the nation by Adam Smith's definition, "annual produce and labour of the nation". This was precisely the situation Spain found itself in following its conquest of the Americas and importation of vast quantities of South American gold and silver.
>grown it by 20% per year in the SPY

SPY grew 12.197% annually (including dividend reinvestment) from October 2013 to August 2023.

>and returned you still a $100 watch for your $100

$100 in 2013 is not the same as $100 in 2023 due to inflation. Adjusting for inflation, the SPY annual return from the same time period (with dividend reinvestment) is 9.216%.
It balances out for all those hours in the year where prices go negative and all those hours where it's not $50/kWh.

Plus, youre talking spot markets, not day ahead. Most electricity is sold in the day ahead markets, which isn't anywhere near those prices.

But hey, continue suggesting people are actually paying $50/kWh without sharing any additional context. Being truly genuine, I see.

I did the math based on my usage last month. I pay $0.06/kWh for electricity cost (not including delivery, just energy). Most of my usage is after those peak hours, as my car charges and pool pumps run and we do our laundry and dishwasher and what not over the evening or early morning. Even at that rate my REP probably made money off me, as they would have still been ahead assuming they were properly buying in the day ahead markets. And in the fall when rates often go negative they'll make a lot of my usage getting paid both ways on the transaction. What do you pay for electricity?

Oh yeah, and my plan is 100% renewable purchase. What mix is yours?

This is just wrong. You’re commenting on demand while ignoring supply.

The Bay doesn’t have any more land (and nimbys tend to prevent new, denser development). This drives prices up.

Texas has an absurd amount of empty land. This helps keep prices down.

Making a comparison between the two and attributing the difference to desirability doesn’t make sense.

(I don’t disagree that the Bay is desirable for many reasons or even that it does have higher demand.)
The problem with CGT is that it allows people to defer their tax obligations indefinitely while amassing wealth using untaxed “unrealised” gains. This can be a very effective tax-avoidance strategy.
It's a small high tech item, so it's very unlikely the overall build cost would match inflation let alone exceed it.

I am still using „lsp-mode“ as a language server client which works well for me and it comes with „company-mode“ integration for good autocompletion:

The CBRE study linked from the OP gives an idea of the scale of Bay Area tech relative to other places:

Labor force in tech:

Total Change
2017-22

SF Bay Area 407,810 23%
New York Metro 371,030 11%
Toronto 285,700 29%
Washington, D.C. 265,240 7%
L.A./Orange County 249,620 17%
Dallas/Ft. Worth 205,920 28%
...
Austin 96,610 39%

Elsewhere it says 75,020 tech professionals moved into the Bay Area in that time (net, if I understand correctly).

Avg Wage

SF Bay Area $185,425
Seattle $172,009
Boston $121,794

Bit of an irrelevant aside, but it's amazing(ly sad) how off the wall Thai romanization remains. In Thai the dish is of course unambiguously ผัดกะเพรา, where the "correct" RTGS romanization would be "phat kaphrao". Yet the Guardian randomly uses only the second half of this, subbing in "pad" for the first word even though ผ and พ are pronounced identically. Whereas you're at least consistent in using for lack of a better word "backpacker Thai", where ก/พ are g/p instead of k/ph and ด is written d even when it's pronounced t (as in ผัด).

Anyway! If you need a decent {ph,p}a{t,d} {k,g}ap{h}rao and are not in Thailand, I can warmly recommend Greyhound Cafe, which has branches in Singapore, Hong Kong, Manila and London: https://www.greyhoundcafe.co.th/
This is only going to get a shedload of "you do you" responses. BSD licencing is quite content to use ZFS, its pretty much ubiquitous now in widescale deployment and the source would be impossible to re-lock. Worst case is fork.

I very much regret the fragmentation of FS design, it has many mothers. "there can only be one" was never going to work, but we seem to have perhaps 4-5 more than we really need. ZFS manages to wrap up a number of behaviours cohesively with good version-dependent signalling so it should always be possible to know you're risking a non-reversible change to your flags. And, it keeps improving.

But, counter "it keeps improving" so do all the other current, maintained, developed FS and if somebody tells me they prefer to use Hammer, or one of the Linux FS models with a discrete volume-management and encryption layer, I don't think thats necessarily wrong.

Mainly I regret Apple walking away. That was about Oracle behaviour. It wasn't helpful. A lot of Apple's FS design ideas persist. I never got resource/data forks, it only ever appeared on my radar as .files in the UNIX AUFS backend model of them. Obviously inside Apples code, it was dealt with somehow. It felt like the wrong lessons about meta data had been learned. Maybe an Ex-VMS person went to Apple? Also Apple has a rather "yea maybe or no, dunno" view about case-independent or case-dependent naming. Time machine is good. Feels like it should fit ZFS well. Oh well.
