It’s actually not true at all that C++ developers are lower paid. Rather, their pay is highly bimodal. Most work at all FAANGMULA companies is C++.

This is unabashedly great news. For those debating if it is a sterilizing vaccine, if it’s perfect, what it means, etc, I point you to the following chart from Moderna’s trial: https://www.zq1.de/~bernhard/images/s

This appears to be a totally unrelated set of authors attempting to force a journal to retract someone else’s paper. They literally have a dedicated website to promote this retraction and if you look up the authors, some of them headline th

This is new information for me - thank you for providing it. What I’d like to understand next is - is there a causal link? This is a pretty unusual year in a lot of ways, including a record number of unemployed people and many people experi

There is a difference between eight months of protests in which 15-26 million people participated across the entire country resulting in significant property damage and some loss of life (~25 people), and what happened last week. Let’s call

Millions (the estimate I saw was 15-26 million) of people were involved in the BLM protests, which lasted many months. 25 people are known to have been killed. I don’t think it’s reasonable to assign 3-4k deaths to it. By contrast, this was

Setting aside for a moment the multiple orders of magnitude difference in lethality per participant, the key distinction for me is this: what happened in the Capitol is about usurping the monopoly on violence possessed by the government. BL

I don’t know if you were paying attention last week, but the mob literally came for the members of Congress. There are wrong opinions, and then there is “six million Jews were not enough” and “hang the Vice President”, and a violent mob a

Attempted coup appearing to have failed, treason enablers vanish into the woodwork. Shocking.

A great write up, and don’t miss the publications section of his website. The paper on multiframe superresolution is a tour-de-force and crushes a ton of deep learning results despite not being learning based.

I claim you can save $100k/year on a $200k/year compensation. SmartAsset pegs you as right on the money as $133k take home. Let’s say you live in a $1400/mo place like I did for years (no roommates, but how often are you in y

How much could a banana possibly cost? $10? Let’s just throw out one company as an example: let’s say you graduate from undergrad today and join Google as a fairly unremarkable new hire. Your average first year total compensation is $187k&#

For those of you in industries like software: it’s very easy to stop working. At $1m saved, you can comfortably withdraw 3%/year forever. $30,000/year stipend on top of whatever passion thing makes you money is more than enough to

I don’t agree that this is flamebait. A significant fraction of the Bay Area seems ok with decriminalization of street crime including shoplifting. There are many stories of businesses like Walgreens closing due to the impact of constantly

Oh please. These crimes have real consequences, both financially and in quality of life for the people who live in these areas. Almost everyone I know has had their car broken into. I know multiple people who have been assaulted. I personal

As we see in the US, it is easy to condemn the evils of others governments, but hard to fix ones own. The entire world is in the midst of a hard slide into authoritarianism. Sad to see France, such a beacon of liberty, also start to succumb

I’ve been an extensive user of time travel debugging for most of my career, and Pernosco looks great. However, please, please change your business model. As is, it is useless for employees of corporations with sane legal departments.

Hot take: it’s ok to not want to be an activist and to engage in politics primarily by voting. People should vote. The counter-meme is something I’ve seen a lot lately in both left and right wing circles. This idea being that if you’re not

The only part that I think could be debated is my assertion that it’s single module. While technically the illuminator and receiver are different components manufactured by different vendors, they are integrated into one module well before

Hi, I work in this field professionally - you are correct up until the tradeoffs. It is not the case that the spatial resolution is higher - in fact, semiconductor manufacturers have struggled to get ToF sensors much above VGA in mobile for

Can you provide a citation for this? I appreciate that it is a bit unfair to ask for one here, but I fundamentally disagree with your point and would like to learn more about why you believe it to be true. While I concede that at the extrem
