That sounds rather low, the Eero Pro 6 should support 4x4 MU-MIMO in the upper 5.8GHz band. You'll never get the advertised 2400mbps even on that band, but the 650mbps figure you state comes closer to the 2x2 rate of the lower 5.2GHz band.

Maybe you need to check your APs' settings, because these numbers sound off.

Edit: never mind, iPhones use 2x2 antennae. A little strange to not put in more in such a high-end device, but I guess it saves a bit of power. They do use 4x4 on the 5G chip, though? Very peculiar.
Oh sweet it also has a VGA output.
Oh there are so many.

Especially ones better than MacOS.
At 36 you're still in your thirties, only just done being a kid. Many new engineers bring skills from previous careers over (such as communication, which I would argue is the most important skill, at least in software). So in many regards, compared to someone just starting out in their early 20s, you've actually skipped a few steps.

That said, if you're not willing to put in time _practicing_ and _learning_ in your off-hours, it will be very difficult to break through and be successful on the job at work. And to be hired, you'll need more than a generic code boot camp portfolio.
Cost cutting is pretty effective from a profit and shareholder perspective, so, yes, always a lever for corporations (pandemic or not).

What's the actual communication technology? Is it Wi-Fi? Cellular?

Edit: I see elsewhere you state it's Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. From a Wi-Fi perspective and workplace deployment does it support 802.1x?
What would you say determines the level of that floor?

It's an interesting question, because I can imagine lots of possible housing solutions that would be way cheaper than $2k/month and more pleasant than living in a tent on the street. So the question is why haven't those solutions been built?
> I don't really buy the "evil money people pressured innocent big tech into firing under priviledged tech workers" narrative. First, big tech, tech and start-ups have all the incentives to reduce headcount, and cost, without third party intervention.

what incentive? Zuckerberg's or Pichai's etc income and stock wealth in the medium/long term is almost completely de-correlated with quarterly net profit or whatever, it's vibe-based, on if they look like masters of the universe who will continue to find ways to print money. their positions are also extremely safe for even stronger reasons - either dominating voting stock or being handpicked successors to the people who dominating voting stock.

> Second, a lot of companies over hired during Covid, and then corrected. Everybody else followed suit with general cost cutting measures. And again, no outside pressure needed.

... then hire less, or be stricter with PIPs or whatever, obliterating morale with your first-ever secret overnight mass layoffs is very stupid.
LOL. Maybe the professional class (doctors, lawyers) but most real working-class people do not bucket themselves in the category as the professional class. Yes, you are all salaried, but they don't get 6 figure RSU's or bonuses.
I honestly believe this is probably the biggest problem, it isn't the other issues, it's the dissolution of the family, many poeple got in big on the 80's "divorce" culture that promised that divorce would liberate and free you to live your best life, in the process they destroyed families and lives, especially their children's, and now many of them are realizing why family was always so important, as they've alienated their own and have no where to go.
You're asking why it can't do something at build time while also acknowledging that there is no build time? Huh
Absolutely not! Just that it’s more likely for someone to be able to take a job like that without becoming homeless or hungry, since there are a decent amount of young people who don’t need a lot.

I was mostly just trying to give a steel-man for the previous person’s thoughts before sharing my bit of info. Because it’s a complex issue and I don’t want to dismiss anyone acting in good faith.

The other part of my comment was, I thought, the more interesting part. About how this weird “able to support a family” vs “not” dichotomy seems to be a US problem that hasn’t hit Europe.

The Netherlands does have a more complex minimum wage law though, which starts low for a 15-year-old, and gets progressively higher until you’re a young adult (at 21) [0]. And it also has a clause that if you’re supporting yourself, then the highest level minimum wage applies regardless of age. I think that helps resolve the issue I mentioned above.

This comment can only be made by someone who isn't paying any attention at all.

The layoffs affected recruiters, marketing, sales, and a ton of areas that were not engineers. Lower level engineers were also targeted more than the higher level engineers, and even more importantly the hiring freezes and reductions blocked a ton of new grads from getting jobs.

As a 400k/year engineer I was fine. My colleagues unfortunately were not.
I'll wait for the Unsplash version.
> Time to de-profit-ize housing.

Can you cite an example of where this policy has worked out well? It seems counter intuitive because removing the profit incentive seems like it would remove investments + labor and therefore reduce housing construction.
isn't the average startup founder 48 and has at least a masters degree? do whatever you want. life is short, if you want to work in tech then learn some technology stack and go work in tech. i agree with /u/halfmatthalfcat, don't care about what other people are doing, just figure out what you want to do and go do that.
I'm all in for epic books, just no longer a fan of epic series because they too often just repeat the same beats over and over again. I've recently started re-reading The Wheel of Time books, and the first one is still one of the most amazing fantasy novels ever, but mid-way through the second novel I couldn't help but feel like Rand Al Thor isn't moving forward and just being naive even worse than someone well into the heroes journey should be. Same for The Sword of Truth. And don't get me started on Dune, even acknowledging that it went more into philosophy. No offense to anyone that likes the later books in any of those series, but as far as I'm concerned, I've just kept the first ones.

Stuff like A Song of Ice and Fire avoids that because it isn't afraid to move the plot to other characters, though of course, we'll probably see the heat death of the universe and the gold master release of Star Citizen before the Winds of Winter releases.

Ken Follett is probably one of the best in the genre because he does different things. Pillars of the Earth is an amazing book, and he didn't turn it into a 6-book series or something that just drags on and on and on. So kudos to him for resisting the temptation there! (EDIT: Ah, turns out that I completely missed that he did. That's what I get for not checking.)
I’ve been working remote since 2010 with teams all over the world. People that are reliable and productive and that communicate well are very hard to find and are still in short supply.

No West Virginia didn't make housing affordable through policy, but the fact that housing is affordable and homelessness is low despite high levels of drug addiction highlights that housing costs are a powerful control knob for homelessness and blaming drug addiction is a red herring.

>Since it was synchronized across all of tech this will likely mean that there is smoking gun evidence of illegal collusion lying around somewhere just like there was the last time this happened:

There's plenty of ways for it to be synchronized cross companies without outright collusion. Macroeconomic factors and/or trend chasing would be the obvious candidate.
Seems to say more about the artist than the audience.
If scientists had the slightest bit of societal power, our response to climate change wouldn't be this shameful, and climate activists wouldn't be so successfully marked for the daily sessions of "5 minutes of hate".

What did gain societal power is capitalism is brute-forcing its way into everything via "tech" that then pats the people in gold-plated cages, who allow their genius to be used for that on the back, while feeding them crumbs. Where nothing that can't be counted matters and destroying the environment -- both physical and that of society, that which minds get formed in -- is perfectly rational, as long as there is a cent of profit to be made.

Some people get really high on it, think someone's "won" (what?) and it might even be them, but let's not pretend any of the great scientists that get name-dropped so easily have anything to do with that, or haven't even spoken against it at length.

> Let us not forget that human knowledge and skills alone cannot lead humanity to a happy and dignified life. Humanity has every reason to place the proclaimers of high moral standards and values above the discoverers of objective truth. What humanity owes to personalities like Buddha, Moses, and Jesus ranks for me higher than all the achievements of the enquiring and constructive mind.

> As man advances in civilisation, and small tribes are united into larger communities, the simplest reason would tell each individual that he ought to extend his social instincts and sympathies to all the members of the same nation, though personally unknown to him. [..] This virtue, one of the noblest with which man is endowed, seems to arise incidentally from our sympathies becoming more tender and more widely diffused, until they are extended to all sentient beings.

Science is a tool. More precisely, it's a method to make and improve and gauge tools. But those tools can't ask questions (we didn't somehow put there first), they cannot judge. They can tell you if something is fair according to your parameters and heuristics, but they know nothing of the inherent value in being fair, they can't answer "should I be fair?", and the same for everything else that actually matters.
Thank you for writing this.

I love the article's point, and I tend to feel that the "chasing the cargo cult of 'scale'" is maybe the biggest problem I see in development teams today. It is certainly the biggest problem that I rarely hear anybody talking about.

Author here. I would say that my post is less
targeted at someone like you (application developer,
presumably) and more targeted at library developers.

I think the article might benefit from clarification on this point.

Reading the HN comments, I see that I'm not the only person who came away with a misunderstanding there.

Again, I 100% love the overall point.
This article has nothing to do with the next wifi version being bad, rather they're just upset EE doesn't allow bridge mode on their routers it seems.

Shenzhen and Guangzhou are some of the least affordable cities in the world when it comes to housing prices. Yes, rents are actually not that bad and many units are vacant being just used as investments, but the cost to buy is astronomical given the Chinese housing bubble.

Tokyo is an example where houses are torn down every 39 years so a new one can be built. Also, given the lack of population growth in Japan as a whole, the growth rate in Tokyo is anemic. Tokyo metro area has even been losing a small amount of population in the last three years: https://www.macrotrends.net/cities/21671/tokyo/population
Unfortunately, only a few people - the hedge fund folks - need to adopt class warfare for it to be a reality.

There's piles of evidence that companies have been using the fears of recession and cover of inflation to increase prices simply to pad profit margins by increasing prices and lasting people off. That's the rich fucking over the poor and the working classes; or, as some might call it, class warfare.

It's cheating because real world PID controllers only apply linear feedback, i.e. feedback expressed by a linear function. Ifs/elses etc. are not linear.
It's also worth adding that the scientific method is fundamentally based on unprovable axiomatic assumptions. In other words it's still philosophy all the way down. To be clear, I don't think all philosophical ideas are equally valid and this particular set of axioms has proven quite useful in practice, but at best all we can really say is that it provides a user window for examining reality. We don't know how wide that window happens to be and how much of reality we can see through it.

We don't even know if the scientific method is the best it could be in what we use it for. After all, it was only expanded with the idea of falsification in the 20th century yet we were still doing useful science before than.

What happens if those making 400k a year in order to buy a shack in a HCOL area don’t actually have to do that? They can be free to work on what they want instead of adshit or high frequency algorithms and actually maybe work for themselves?
I'm going to positively interpret your comment and respond anyway.

Instead of moving away people move further into the suburbs and commute so they can arbitrage the higher pay of the urban area with the lower cost of living.

We have a term for this, its called suburban sprawl.

The number of jobs in low cost of living areas can't support the cities, and lack of housing leads to folks moving just far enough away to make the math work.

That's because Google doesn't use workers efficiently. They hire very smart people and then make them use things like Google Cloud and K8S and OKRs and no matter how many people they throw at the problem... progress... is.. slow...

Google was a center of technical excellence up until some time around 2005-2010 or so but their real exceptionalism is having the highly profitable near-monopoly advertising business which lets them sustain technological and management systems which wouldn't be sustainable anywhere else.
Why is that flaw fatal? Just borrow epistemology from the philosophers of whatever. Purity and inter-field spats are stupid, scientists just want the results.

I think Boomers share a lot of blame for where we're at, policy wise, but also not everyone who is a Boomer had a say in poor housing policy (ie NIMBYs keeping us short millions of housing units over decades), the deprecation of pensions for 401ks that no one could afford to fund (due to globalization and stagnant incomes), an employment environment where you could become unemployed in your 50s or early 60s with no chance of finding another job, desperately hoping to make it to Social Security, unchecked medical costs due to no meaningful national healthcare system reform, etc.

Like a parent caring for a child with a limited world view and not yet emotionally mature, instead of being resentful about the situation [1] (which would be totally fair, there is a lot of history and metaphorical debt to resent), we can work towards fixing it with policy that benefits the Boomers who are left (~2M of 55+ cohort dies every year, and only a fraction of seniors are unhoused) but will provide benefit for the next cohort to pass through that age bracket. It'll be costly, but it always is because we're irresponsible collectively more often than not and kick the can economically into the future. We might as well spend on durable infrastructure if we're going to spend.

TLDR Build affordable non market senior housing in locations that won't cause auto dependency, build with a 100 year lifetime for structures, put Boomers there until they die, wash and repeat with the next wave of destitute or near poverty seniors.

even if it's private alpha, you should probably release it to a friendly hostile audience or feedback. Once against it is beta, you can release it to the world at large because well that's what a lot of SAAS companies do. Once you get some revenue, then you can make it better. Otherwise, if you don't get the feedback you need on how to make the product better and live in your own head, you might find yourself polishing turd. if I want to see someone who's done that, all I need is a mirror.
My first dorm room sounded much smaller than this - granted it was only 2 of us. All our room had space for was a bed (over a dresser), a small desk, and a tiny coat closet on each side with about a 3 foot aisle in between our beds/desks.
Your username checks out!

That said, is it that much different from the past twenty years, when everyone was being told to follow their passion and get a useless $200,000 communication or literature degree to then go work at Starbucks? At least kids growing up with AI will have a chance to make its use second nature like many of us did with computers 20-30 years ago.

The kids with poor parental/counselor guidance will walk into reality face first, the ones with helicopter parents will overcorrect when free, the studious ones will mostly figure life out, the smart ones will get disillusioned fast, and the kids with trust funds just kept doing their thing. I don't think much will change.

There's no qos or control over the radio channels. A 120gbit, 120fps, 8k stream is lovely, until you have network interference of 10ms and you drop a frame.
It amazes me, that Netflix is capable of such top of the line engineering things (really mindblowing stuff, one machine that streams nearly 1 Terabit pers second), but is for the love of god unable to stream HD Content to my iPhone (newest firmware, all up2date). Tried everything gigabit wifi, cellular, multiple ISPs ...

It is better for me to pirate their content, play it with Plex and be happy. I pay for Netflix, but still have to download it, to see it an acceptable quality. Absurd. The support couldn‘t help. It doesn’t affect me, because I have my Torrent/Plex Setup, but for 99.9% of people it is a subpar experience.

I think the best years are over for Netflix. The hard awakening is here to make content that the users want and they are a movie/tv content company, not primarily a „tech company“.
Exactly. I see houses primarily as a roof over your head, not as an investment. And I think the investment attitude has done a lot of harm to the housing market, leading to extortionate practices and artificial scarcity.

I wouldn't even complain if all houses halved in value, despite being a homeowner. That my home would be worth less is irrelevant, because I'm not selling it, and if I was, I'd have to buy a new house anyway. People who see houses as investment would hate it, of course.

I just googled "synchronous rust http client" - the top result was a Stack Overflow question where the top (accepted) answer listed ureq as the first option.

compressing big video frames (4k) takes time. If your application is latency critical (and drones moving at 100km/h is) and you are streaming at 120fps you have only 8ms for video frame processing. Sometimes you also want uncompressed data (lidar, depthmap) not for human but for machine computer vision / processing.

So you are claiming that if SF becomes as dense as Manhattan, it will be as cheap as Manhattan? Or maybe Hong Kong’s density and housing affordability is the target here?

The ideal situation is Tokyo, where a lack of culture in speculating on housing coupled with population decreases leads (going down in the metro area for the last three years) to housing affordability.
