Are you in the Bay Area though? If you are, then the people applying may well not be able to afford living without Bay Area salaries.

Yes. > So Clang can potentially save you a single instruction (xorl %eax, %eax) whose encoding is only 1B, per function call to functions declared in the style f(), but only IF the definition is in the same translation unit and doesn’t d

Yeah, it was about 75%.

I once considered relocating with the same company to a similar role in London. The base pay in London is lower, and the marginal tax rates are high, but overall cost of living isn't too terribly far off (compared to the SF Bay Area),

> What would it take to make that happen? Dismantling the capitalist system and giving workers control of the means of production? Or at least taxing capital at the same rate as income? I'm not entirely sure in which direction your

Sure, but if you had affordable education and housing and healthcare, and real wage growth that kept up with productivity increases, you'd have millions in the bank AND you'd have a latte every day.

by biesnecker 8y ago
I read this very differently -- if $5/day makes up a significant portion of your safety net spending, then you have much larger problems than the $5 delta your latte is causing. It's not that $5/day doesn't matter to any

Such good memories. I spent all of my first few high school job paychecks on a Diamond Monster 3D. In retrospect, adult me says I should have bought $AAPL, but 16-year old me is still pretty sure it was the right decision.

My team might be half decent. So might the dozens of other teams working on the code base over years and years. Everyone will certainly have the best of intentions. But mistakes will certainly be made. Misunderstandings will occur. Note I s

I really wish that Erlang/Elixir were strongly typed. I've blown my foot off with the "dynamic language gets us going fast and now let's scale" footgun too many times to not be afraid. Obviously big important system

Late response, but yeah, mostly Europe. Asia for a while, but now Uber is mostly gone there too.

Totally. I use Lyft wherever I can but I can virtually always use Uber whereas Lyft is spotty.

Insulin pricing would still be a lot cheaper than the anti-retrovirals are today I think.

I'd be surprised if they were able to be human flight certified without all the redundancy and hardening that any other manned spacecraft has, though.

Wouldn't that eventually just lead to an OOM? Most of the time the recursion I write is either well-formed and lives nicely in the stack or poorly-formed and would consume all the memory in the universe if given the opportunity.

I think the fear is that you're wrong, and that a substantial fraction of those who play in the NFL suffer life altering brain injuries, it's just slow and mostly affects players well after retirement so it's not as obvious.

I strongly believe that the NFL will cease to exist as a major sports league in the foreseeable future (< 25 years). It increasingly seems that CTE is an unavoidable side effect of the game, and as that reality really registers with pare

I wish I believed this as strongly as you do. The Chinese internet is isolated in a lot of very meaningful ways and the Chinese economy is not going backwards. There's probably a drag but it's not significant enough to stall progr

Nobody thought the USSR would develop nuclear weapons as quickly as they did. Had it taken them an extra decade or so I think there's a very possible future where the United States strikes, with nuclear weapons if necessary, any site w

If you look at the period from 1945 to, say, 1975, though, which is the speaker's perspective, American political and economic influence were both extremely strong compared to today, in addition to the obvious military influence.

Fwiw, nothing about rust (probably) but a whole lot about CPython's implementation. Extensions can and do poke around in object internals and will break if the internals don't work the way the extension expects them to (that is, t

My in-laws are Chinese, and after they retired they (particularly my mother-in-law) began attending their local 老年大学 ("senior university"). It's a terrific idea--I know that some seniors audit classes at community colleges an

Technically no, but practically it does, so long as massive corporations exist. I think you can argue that with smaller scale business you can work to better employee conditions without collective action, but given the power and resources t

Does anyone have a link to the original Chinese?

In my experience the only two real choices are now or never, because later almost always becomes never under pressure to do new things.

And it's really "YOLO last write recorded wins," because who knows what order anything arrives in.

So sales are up, and inventory is up, but days on the market is down sharply. It seems reasonable that if houses are going faster then higher bids are being made because you're not going to get a second chance. Totally unrealistic, and

I guess Kraków just isn’t there for name recognition yet? Reordering the sentence would have made the overloaded commas a lot clearer.
