"Most humans" is a low bar. Most humans hardly know how to think, and very bother to develop creativity. And creativity alone isn't enough: you need intuition to tell which idea is worth pursuing.

That's a tremendous war story. I _love_ it! Doing a thing that's considered unreasonable. Knowing that total value is integral of instantaneous value over time (so short high-impact projects can easily outvalue long-lived projects).
I'm looking for a new job, and a 3rd party recruiter focused on startups asked me to follow a template that "lands well with startups". FWIW, my resume has been doing fine with Big Co's so I thought it wasn't worthwhile advice.
You can tell it's propaganda because it's describing market forces as "demands." ;-) Technically workers are the supply, anyway.

The rise of surge pricing: ‘It will eventually be everywhere’
I don’t think you’re understanding the meaning of proportional. You could make the penalty 50 times the benefit.
I think that makes sense. so many experienced employees have been laid off that companies don't need to hire newbies any more. Six years I started working for a company that hired 3 senior devs and boatloads of bootcamp grads. for a new project. I doubt that would happen now.
Looking at these makes me wonder if I've just walked by ancient paintings and not even realized it.
Yep. You are right. This is my main problem here -- not only the inside installation is extremely invasive. But the local laws basically prevent me from being able to make the large holes in the wall needed to pass the massive amounts of air.
And you'll possibly even get talent that is willing to work for your intended price. Good luck.

I imagine there would be plenty of folks willing to come over if the wages at least got into the ballpark of the US. My impression is that the visa/residency process isn’t too onerous if you’re coming over with a job. Close the gap enough and it’s worth it for many, with quality of life stuff taking up the slack. But it can’t be too large, because tech workers can afford quality of life in the US too - it’s just purchased a la carte with the higher salary.

Ah, I see, thanks. Somewhat reminiscent of 'why waste 0-days stealing WoW gold'. Still feels like the argument is complicated up by things like Very Lorge or State Actors (to whomst money is not even money, as you like to point out) and that the value they seek to derive is also not necessarily financial or at least not immediately so. Like, surely more effort has been spent trying to break TLS than secp256k1 specifically.
You mean like the panel of expert regulators that has sent noone to jail for collapsing the global economy in 2008, or for Boeing Max debacle?

Why Ships Kill Thousands of Whales Every Year
I've been casually looking for opportunities on linkedin, and for many of the roles I consider applying to there's >100 applicants according to the linkedin listing.

That strikes me as exceptionally high vs. past years when I was shopping around.
Whilst a lot of those books are old, some are covering subjects like Quaternions that have been well understood for hundreds of years if not much longer. They're not necessarily lacking in value. There's a lot there that's pretty evergreen.
>Ford has claimed that the deal UAW was negotiating would have doubled automaker labor costs, and the Intercept noted that often wage increases won by union workers "trickle down" to non-unionized workers like Tesla's. That perhaps worried Musk, who seemingly has a financial interest in keeping autoworker wages low and a history of union-busting.

That's absurd speculation. Directly, this has a negative impact on Tesla's competitors only. Hard to imagine he would actually think changing a checkmark would have an impact on his own staff's salaries via that route.
It's already irrelevant, we're just watching the freakshow at this point.
I believe this kind of story is the kind that gives most legal counsel nightmares.

It's way more complex at first, but you will have peace of mind. And backup/restore speed is way faster.

You can even easily setup automatic restore jobs to prove your backups work!
When you're paying for things, and can pay for several things at the same time, it makes sense. I helped my mother pay her property taxes this year, and for two properties we had to make four payments. Without the shopping cart (or a functional equivalent) I would have had to enter my payment information four times instead of once.
This is based on a version that predates those versions you're thinking of.

It's easier to do this nowadays. If you are smart, hard working, after a year and with AI in your pocket it should be easier than ever to work like someone with 3 years in a given space.
We had more than 1 million, mostly older experienced workers die from covid. Why is anyone surprised we have a labor shortage?

> 3 appointments in one term is unprecedented.

This is simply false. For instance, Hoover successfully appointed 3 justices and only served a single term. Taft appointed 6! Harding appointed 4 despite only living 2 years of his term.

"Unprecedented in recent times" is weaselly but accurate. "Unprecedented" gives those who don't know better an inaccurate picture of the past and makes those who do know better wonder what else you're confidently wrong about.

None of that is to say I don't object to the shenanigans - I do.
Not just tech workers. 24 year old non-technical product managers at FAANG companies are demanding $190,000 salaries.

As a European I wish more FAANG companies started hiring software engineers remotely. The only American companies that have offered me remote jobs with FAANG tier salaries were cryptobro startups.
Guidance for Covid-19 Boosters [pdf]

What I think your analysis misses is that the security of a cryptosystem isn't an absolute thing. All sorts of cryptosystems exist that haven't been broken, and may never be broken, but would likely get someone else broken if emulated in a different setting. So the reason cryptography engineers probably wouldn't use ECDSA in a modern signing system, if they had a choice, is that ECDSA includes a bunch of footguns that better signing systems avoid.
I can't give you a meaningful comparison between all of those, because I haven't used all of them, but I can say that I've been pretty happy with Restic in the time I've been using it.

Do you have any odd requirements that one might serve better than the rest? If you just want bog-standard backups, any of them will probably do.

Indeed, if someone spends everything they earn, they can neither invest nor save up a downpayment to buy a property.

If they can save up to buy a property, they could make an alternative investment decision as well.
Subprocessing is the only way to do full parallelism in Python. The title includes parallelism, and the article says how threading can achieve it specifically if your CPU-bound portion is inside C modules (which release the GIL), but it's relevant to mention how you do parallelism in the general case.
Some of us will strategically write generic code on our own time and machines and import it to employers machines when needed and customize it. For instance, how many times do you really need to write a spring OAuth server that integrates with LDAP? Or the guts of a simple CRUD app?

Are you asking me if, in the situation where my failure to build a $12k-$30k fence (for materials alone, not including labor, and the environmental impact survey that has to go along with 1200 linear feet of 6' high fencing in a wildlife corridor) gets my dog shot, will I wish that I spent tens of thousands of dollars when the ~$1000 or so I spent on equipment, and a few weeks' worth of after-work training should have done the trick?

No, I won't wish I had fenced the property. I'll wish I'd done a better job of training my dog.

I think you need to look outside traditional tech industry and instead look at industries where the code is a legacy behemoth or a cost center but still critical. A trucking company that uses code for planning and routing. The software that a federal agency uses to manage its workforce. A local or regional bank that has a lot of java written in the 90s that it needs bug fixing for.
I don't really understand the recent focus on this. Shrinkflation has always been a thing, and it seems like it shouldn't be strongly correlated with actual inflation, since the critical equation is something like how much material should a given product contain to provide enough value to consumers, or in other words it's equally advantageous to optimize the value of your product in times of low or high inflation and thus optimize margins.

Maybe we just care more about it when we see prices raising in general? IDK.
Those diagrams are nice! What did you use to make them? The sliding window mechanic is interesting but I'm not seeing how the first, second and third retrievers relate. Only the final medium chunks are used, but how are those arrived at?

Your logic: let's reduce immigration because immigrants send remittances to family members who are not permitted by our immigration laws to join their family members in this country, which would increase immigration numbers further while reducing capital offshoring.
OT: I see economists of various ideological tilts constantly arguing about how macroeconomic variables will respond to specific government policies. You know: "this new tax will increase inflation; no it will not, it will increase unemployment".

What I don't get is why there are no readily available online macroeconomic simulators with real world data that make these sort of predictions. For a lot of countries, up-to-date macroeconomic and demographic is readily available.

Surely, economists of every ideological tilt have their own standard model of macroeconomics [1] which they use to make rough predictions? If not, how complicated is it really?

[1] Much like the standard model of particle physics or of cosmology. Fairly dirty and complicated models with lots of tunable parameters.

Signal is a special case because it's a generic messenger app - meaning it's target audience is legitimately everyone, and with its philosophy and E2EE in general preventing interoperability, it has to capture everyone. It has to be optimized towards a Marl, or else it'll fail to network effects.

Some software is like that. Most isn't - but the enshittification culture is affecting it all the same.

Well do you think someone managing development shouldn't know how to code? How would they hire? I've never worked on teams where dev is larger than six and I've always coded though. Bigger than six is automatically create another team in my books.

Because most of us are working at companies that are absolutely drowning in backlogs and there's a ton of work to do. Tech workers can add value to any company. My company had a hiring freeze for most of the year and layoffs. Yet we have critical roles with no-one doing them (instead I'm doing 4 jobs poorly). Thankfully there are plans to hire in our new fiscal year (which starts in October).

Devs are also the sort who can and will work for themselves or small companies. There's no leverage by employers - we can leave and work anywhere, or for ourselves, even in the current climate.

Another reality workers in all industries are starting to believe: all of us, especially the working class, deserve the fruits of our labor.

I don't think it's a fair comparison to compare current dynamic pricing practices with haggling. I can't go into the pub and haggle the price of a dynamically priced beer.
Since most frontend jobs these days seem to be about having to use one of the big frameworks, I have withdrawn from frontend work mostly. I do have quite OK JS knowledge and have done things in TypeScript when I needed to. I even did explore React (and NextJS, and VueJS) stuff a bit, but it left me disappointed. I have the skills, but no motivation at all to spend time with that kind of frontend work. Until this changes, I will most likely not engage in any frontend work or "full-stack" development.

No way you'll be changing bundle id/package name on every store release!

My guess of the original game plan was likely to just print out a list of most installed games, manually work out package names to developers, and pick up the phone at Unity's convenience for negotiation talks, working out disagreements including knocking out dupes and fraudulent counts. That should be technically doable.

The real problems are, most devs just don't have the cash flow to split for $0.20 per install, nor they believe they have leverages to reach into agreement for mutual benefits(special 99.9% discount or whatever), nor any viable paths for making the full amount even as eventuality(just add those banners at the top and bottom of your screen! On the launchers! People love clicking those gifs right!? Ads!), and that total dead end feeling had traumatized developers enough that they had formed impression that Unity is a total showstopper with ropes included.

But the part they cast int to dollar isn't the most problematic part.
They're set based on negotiations between employers and job seekers/their representatives. The market influences rates, but once negotiations start, every human foible, bias, and shortcoming has a role to play.
So humans were allowed to consult Wikipedia?
It's also grammatically incorrect.. "appears to have hit a peaked"?
Nice project, very clean etc.

Now about that shrinkflation thing... There isn't a single product in that list that is actually healthy. Highly processed food is horrible for us and our environment, and the gigantic conglomerates making and selling them are a plague to our economies.

Veggies at my local farmers' market didn't shrink in size, prices went up slightly for some and it's very visible from the tag. Same goes for the bread I buy at the bakery, and the pasta I get in bulk in a small store nearby. If you have no choice but to rely on these products bought in a supermarket, you've been conned way before shrinkflation hit.

Fascinating that this is getting so much traction on Hacker News, given how technical and physics-specific it is. Guess there's a lot of physicists on here (hi all!)

Honey, never underestimate the impact of your well intentioned advice.

I am always amused and annoyed when ChatGPT gives me amazing medical, psychological and legal advice (that I simply can't afford myself, just a factory worker), and ends it with 'but contact a real doctor/shrink for real advice'.
Advice which is just an echo of wise words spoken by people like you, for which I'm always grateful.

On that metric, for postings where the apply link goes to an external page, any user that clicks apply (and is redirected) is counted, even if they don't actually follow through. For LinkedIn easy-apply, the metric is more accurate to actual submitted applications, but there seems to be a lot of users (scripts?) indiscriminately easy-applying to every possible job because it's, well, easy.
You’d think by now we’d have our browsers handle some kind of default cookie setting so we don’t have to deal with these annoying pop ups.

Au contraire. Inflation comes from too much money chasing too few goods and services. How does too much money come about? The government prints money to deficit spend. Why does this cause inflation? The Law of Supply and Demand. Too much money means the money is worth less.

Individual companies cannot cause inflation, because they cannot increase the money supply.
Apple Transparency Report 2022: Government and Private Party Requests [pdf]
Tech hiring has been broken for a long time and they keep looking to the government to somehow save them from their own incompetence in labor development. The "hiring" pipeline has been highly optimized for finding reasons not to hire a worker instead of finding suitable workers to develop. Each year this optimization gets closer and closer to its final goal of never being able to hire anyone. Meanwhile most companies would prefer to not give raises that keep up with inflation over having talent walk out the doo. They'll happily put themselves at the end of the "hiring" pipeline again where they will once again complain there are no workers despite having let many leave over small amounts of money that inflation adjusted is near zero.
Everyone always says that tech doesn't need unions because of the ability to negotiate. Doesn't seem to be working out well for the industry as a whole.

We have basically the same problem as UPS/Auto industry -> no trickle down.

"The data in Health Connect is all on-device and encrypted."
These statements are not mutually exclusive. Tech workers deserve higher salaries for the value they provide. And the market is to some extent manipulated, or we wouldn’t see massive layoffs and massive (and growing) profits. The difference is, tech workers don’t have an analog of layoffs at their disposal. Workers control labor supply of 1, when most companies individually control large multiples of the demand side. That doesn’t mean that workers deserve less.
You dont gron with CSV, normal grep will work wonders.
It is not at all obvious it will "revert" back... we had HUGE amounts of people working on bullshit projects that never generated any revenue. Maybe in the previous climate of cheap capital we could afford to do that, but in 2023 capital ain't so cheap anymore. There's very little indication that's going to change.
