> In all seriousness, how does this make economic sense? The company is incentivizing that people move to areas with a high cost of living, but why exactly? What economic benefit does that bring to the company?

It doesn't always bring an economic benefit to the company, which is why there are debates over companies calling employees back into the offices. That is almost always based on gut feeling and herd-mentality, than on any concrete data.

However, companies have to recruit from labor markets, and as such, they are bound by its vicissitudes. Despite the pandemic scattering many software people all over the country, the vast majority of competent software developers with cutting-edge work experience are still to be found in the Bay Area. Therefore, it makes sense for the company to insist that other hires also live in the Bay Area. Perfectly understandable. If the company is able to compete effectively for talent in the remote market and able to make it work (timezones and cultural differences do matter, even if it were possible to recruit remote workers easily), then it would do it, sooner or later.
Yea I find it ironic this article is coming from the NYTimes that runs 40 "breaking" stories about a certain oompa loompa every chance they can. It's gotten so bad I canceled my sub recently because I don't want to scroll through a page of op-eds every fucking time.
Upon further thought, the Romans were exposed to lead, their water pipes were made from lead (installed by plumbers), not to mention pewter and bronze objects.

And they were certainly breathing lots of smoke from their cooking fires. Although wood smoke is probably less hazardous than two stroke oil.
Once Airbnb starts a good faith effort to take down obviously fake listings or listings in clear violation of local ordinances or condo association rules, then I might start feeling bad for people scamming them.
> Are you really asking why companies take risks on new projects that might not work out? Or expecting that companies can perfectly predict which projects will succeed?

Uncertainty is fine; is mean that if the expected value[0] is below zero it's a terrible idea to do it.

> Look at it this way: What if the developers were only paid after the product broke even and starts "delivering value". You think you're going to get a lot of developers signing up to work on a new project that might only pay them if they stick with it for a few years and it succeeds due to reasons that include things out of their control (like sales cycles, market moves, etc.)?

Empirically yes; what you've described is close enough startup employees with low cash and high stock payments.

It works perfectly for me. Inefficiencies could easily be fixed by extensions if necessary. The main thing which is missing in practice is latency hiding. But this is supported by the X protocol just fine, only toolkits were never changed to support it.

Design-wise it is exactly right: A generic remote buffer management protocol.

You can replace the two " with ` so that the code in setInterval is still treated as a string.

Also, see the section:

q?'♥':Y=1

The code is minimized by setting Y back to 1 instead of providing a character to display but this has the visual side effect of "squashing" the player when they are run over.

It should have been immediately obvious to everyone that this was a scam. Anyone who has a money printer by definition does not need your help. If you are being asked to invest there is risk. If you are being told it’s a sure thing you are being lied to. Setting aside the obvious stupidity of finding your investment opportunities on Instagram of all the ridiculous places…
I feel a strange sense of loss at learning that these exist. I cherished the Usborne books I did have, and I had to mainly teach myself Basic with LIST commands and such, because I didn't have any friends or comprehensive books to teach me, nor was I permitted to dial long distance numbers to reach a BBS. I would have loved these as a child.
US residential rooftop is wildly expensive compared to other countries due to soft costs ($3-$4/watt vs $1-2). California’s “unique” electric utility and solar policy approach doesn’t help.

I put solar on a friend’s roof in Sydney Australia (their landlord’s specifically, due to a lease to purchase agreement) for under $1/watt.
Yes, but that concerns how schooling for the masses came about.

People that expected to be active citizens, participate in the state, drive society forward, etc., have been educated for millenia, in ancient Greece, Rome, China, Egypt, all the way to today.

So unless we strive to live like peasants and subjects to royalty of the old times, or like the dystopic living-in-a-drugs-and-entertenment-blur degraded population of "Brave New World", we should not lose education.

There is something a lot more healthy-feeling about tinkering in the shop using your hands, versus staring down a panel of colorful monospaced ascii. But the individual contributor MechE career plateaus in pay around $170k. There's no L7 or whatever pay scale. Seeing total compensation in the $300k+ range is unheard of.

Lets say you want the IMDB top 500, most of those will not have a scan that is better in 4k than 1080 or even normal DVD (480p). The ones that do (like 4k77) are probably highly specialized.

A basic function of societies is caring for the young (and old) and I believe socializing the costs of early rearing of children is beneficial to literally everyone. Right now you may not want to help, but when you're old and decrepit you'll want to be living in a functioning economy run by the children you contributed some money to help grow into contributing members of the economy.

This market is far worse to be looking for a job in.

I just looked up my city, and then zoomed into one of their locations indicated as "quiet". I can attest that the one I looked at is not "quiet" from city noise as much as quiet from other people. It's located downtown, and is a park showcasing historic lifestyle of when the city was founded. You can easily hear the very nearby highway, but it is people quiet as it's pretty much only ever visited by kids taking a school field trip. I've been on a film shoot using the site as a location, and it is definitely not film set quiet.
Off the top of my head, I thought US$20k would get you roof top solar plus a house battery in Australia.

If the books are banned in school, if teachers are forbidden from mentioning them, do you think the number of kids who know of their existence to go up, or down?

That's not to mention that, emboldened by their success in school libraries in some areas, these same people are now going after public libraries, too.
If you want your program to execute as fast as possible, you have to worry about the speed of light! A trace a few millimeters longer than its partner can have nanoseconds of delay which can easily corrupt your data!

And don't forget that you have to balance the physical shape and arrangement of components and traces with frequency and surrounding components otherwise you've created a transmitter spewing out noise at tens of MHz.

Or the corollary: if you aren't careful you can receive radio signals that will corrupt your data.

Oh, you think your wire can handle the 0.5A your widget needs? Let me tell you about transients that spike to tens of amps for a few hundred nanoseconds. But it's okay, that problem can be solved with a bit of trigonometry.

On the plus side, if you forget to connect your ADC to something, you now have a surprisingly decent random number source.

I love the absolute chaotic insanity of electronics. On the surface things make sense, but one level deeper and nothing makes sense. If you go further than that, at the bottom you'll find beautiful and pure physics and everything makes sense again.

I feel the same way about software. It's a hot mess, but under everything there's this little clockwork machine that simply reads some bits, then flips some other bits based on a comparison to another set of bits. There's no magic, just pure logic. I find it a very beautiful concept.

No, there are two of us, and two children.

I agree that this is below the sustainment rate, but we have at least replaced ourselves.
That's definitely true, in my grandmother family, it was was an open secret (or rather a mean and quite unfunny running joke) that her aunt managed to get out of her arranged marriage after ten years by "inadvertently" poisoning her abusive husband. I can only speculate that they had fertility issues since after 10 years they did not had any kids, and that could have been a reason why he became violent.
It’s fair to say both are. GP is strongly implying women get paid 70% for the same work (illegal in the UK at least) whereas P misses the subtlety that women don’t have equal access to the job market. Compare the rates of women in software engineering vs childcare. Then compare the salaries.

This is a common excuse or conspiracy theory if you live near Mac or Boeing plants, it may or may not be true.

Boeing bought Mac in '97, over 25 years ago. That's a whole generation of employees. Coming from St. Louis I've been hearing Boeing folks blame Mac for their failures for years which is probably because few are left from Mac to disagree, and when Mac folks did complain it was when they were getting laid off around 99.

It's been 25 years, these problems now are all of Boeing's makings, there is no Mac and hasn't been for a long time. Mac didn't make the MAX nor did it not bolt doors to planes. All of this is easily explained by general growth and stagnation of a company but conspiracies are more fun. None of this fixes the current issues.

I can see the copium is strong with this group. Does it really matter who's to blame when the problems are at this level? It just needs a fix.
Consider a colony of bacteria multiplying by splitting. Each new pair of cells is independent and do not cooperate. Some die, some stay put. Nonetheless, the “colony” spreads and explores new territory with zero coordination of these activities. Certainly not an intelligent centralised leadership!

Even if our first interstellar colonies diverge immediately and some even turn into reclusive hermits, some may expand, repeating the cycle.

> how would you feel if your elementary schooler's teacher had a prominent copy of "Mein Kampf" in their classroom and told any kids who enquired about it to read it when they were older because it is one of their favorite books? I personally wouldn't have a problem with it since I know that simply reading a book does not a Nazi make.

There's a difference between espousing a principle of "the more you read, the better your education", and "Mein Kampf is my favorite book".

Given how badly it is actually written, and the central theme is "Adolf Hitler: How I Became An Antisemite", I'd wager that the union of people who see it as a favorite book AND are not neonazi antisemites is almost infinitesimally small.
No offense, but I doubt you are a very frequent driver.

While everyone strives to be defensive, it is 100% not your fault and not expected that someone or something would show up in front of your car when you have the right of way. If it did you would be driving 5 km/hr on a 100 km/hr road "to be defensive"
I second this article, having applied the ideas (and shared the article) with people I've worked with in the past. The ideas are still relevant today, despite the original publication in 1998.

--

The comic partway through the article gives a good overview, and the following are a few highlights:

"Before the set-up-to-fail syndrome begins, the boss and the subordinate are typically engaged in a positive, or at least neutral, relationship. The triggering event in the set-up-to-fail syndrome is often minor or surreptitious. The subordinate may miss a deadline, lose a client, or submit a subpar report. [...]

"Reacting to the triggering event, the boss increases his supervision of the subordinate, gives more specific instructions, and wrangles longer over courses of action.
The subordinate responds by beginning to suspect a lack of confidence and senses he's not part of the boss's in-group anymore. He starts to withdraw emotionally from the boss and from work. He may also fight to change the boss's image of him, reaching too high or running too fast to be effective.

"The boss interprets this problem-hoarding, overreaching, or tentativeness as signs that the subordinate has poor judgment and weak capabilities. If the subordinate does perform well, the boss does not acknowledge it or considers it a lucky "one off." [...] The subordinate feels boxed in and underappreciated. He increasingly withdraws from his boss and from work. He may even resort to ignoring instructions, openly disputing the boss, and occasionally lashing out because of feelings of rejection.

"In general, he performs his job mechanically and devotes more energy to self-protection. [...] The boss feels increasingly frustrated and is now convinced that the subordinate cannot perform without intense oversight. He makes this known by his words and deeds, further undermining the subordinate's confidence and prompting inaction."

---

My own summary follows. The idea is that a good relationship between a manager and a junior can unnecessarily fall off the rails, beginning with the manager perceiving that the junior has made a small or moderate mistake.

Instead of letting it go, the manager begins a corrective action with more micro-management (such as requests for more check-ins or progress reports). This can result in the junior becoming disengaged with the work, or alternatively trying to take on too many responsibilities to regain the manager's trust. In any case, the manager tries to correct this by increasing micro-management (which is the opposite of what the junior wants), which worsens the relationship.

To solve this, the article recommends an open discussion between the manager and junior, with specific, concrete goals for restoring trust in the relationship (as well as attempting to prevent this in the first place). The article also notes that an attempted solution entirely on the junior's side—where the junior over-achieves for a while to attempt to rebuild trust—is often ineffective, as a manager may not even notice these efforts due to a bias to already label the person as unreliable.

I might be wrong, but I think either you create a two-tier music industry, where Apple Music subscribers can get to concerts first, or you allow anyone to book, at which point you have the same problem Ticketmaster does.
True, but you get a full general compute machine for under $6k, after a few years you can sell it for 3-4k and upgrade to the latest one. Personally I think it's the best thing to happen to local LLMs, by accident. I have an M1 Max 64GB and I'm blown away every day by these local models. Apple didn't plan for it, but it happened by accident due to unified memory with godzillion throughput having integrated silicon.

I (stupidly) stored all my 4k video footage on facebook. It was great for a while.

>really created a very affordable market for renters.

I wouldn't say it's very affordable in the post pandemic, post Ukraine world. It's affordable only if you get public social housing, or if you compare the private market rents to what's happening in the likes of London, Amsterdam, Berlin or Munich, but those are high paying banking/corporate/tech hubs, while Vienna is not, and so the lower rents also reflect the lower spending power of Viennese workers.
