Ask HN: What're some great cities to live for $1-2k USD per month? 3 by whitepoplar | 6 comments on Hacker News. I'm a single 31yo guy looking move somewhere new for 1-2 years. I'd like to have a studio/1br to myself, cook most meals, use public transit (no car), and have enough of a budget left for a decent social life. I'm pretty frugal by nature, but enjoy the odd creature comfort. Any recommendations for cities that would satisfy this lifestyle on $1-2k USD per month (net)? My budget isn't fixed, so can always go a bit higher, but would prefer to stay under $2k if possible. Thanks!

Hist 2.5 and boost-histogram 1.2 released 2 by henryiii | 0 comments on Hacker News. I'd like to announce the release of Hist 2.5 & boost-histogram 1.2, the powerful histogramming libraries for Python. I don't think I've posted about them here before, so quickly, boost-histogram is a pybind11 wrapper for the Boost.Histogram C++ library, written in close collaboration with the Boost library author, which gives Python users object-oriented histograms with incredible flexibility and speed, multithreaded fills, weighed and mean storages, atomics, manipulations, transforms, drop-in NumPy histogram replacement, and more. It is fully statically typed (newly updated to NumPy 1.21 types). It has been instrumental in pushing forward the tools for binding and building C++14 packages, like pybind11 and cibuildwheel, as well. It was featured at SciPy 2020. Hist is a set of Pythonizations and features on top of boost-histogram to add easier REPL / notebook usage, plotting, and ext...

Ask HN: Why do product devs switch into data eng/data ops roles? 2 by legerdemain | 1 comments on Hacker News. I have had a number of professional acquaintances and former coworkers leave product/full-stack/back end roles and move into roles more concerned with data pipelines, data infra, dashboard development, and so on. I have trouble seeing good reasons to. - Data roles heavily focus on particular enterprise products (Kafka, Redshift, Snowflake) at the expense of engineering fundamentals. - Data roles are typically support roles, not the value center of an org (which would be the analysts and decision-makers who consume the dashboards). - I personally find these roles more rote, less engaging, and less creative than SWE roles. What are some good reasons to move into a data-focused role, other than incidental details like better pay or promotion opportunities?

Ask HN: Satellite ISPs Worth It? 3 by the_only_law | 4 comments on Hacker News. I’d kill to ditch my current provider, but the only other provider in my area that offers DOCSIS or fiber broadband appears to be unavailable at my address. I’m curious whether satellite providers are worth looking at. It seems that some of them offer similar “up to” speeds as my current provider, but at a significant cost increase. But I never get close to the “up to” bandwidth my ISP advertises and a cheaper plan with a Lowe “up to” from a different provider could be fine if in effect I get the same speeds (from memory it’s rare to get more then 50-60mbps down”. I’ve also have read about higher latency with satellite connection, and am not sure offhand how much that would effect me.

Will CircleCI make big $s? 3 by amir-h | 3 comments on Hacker News. Let's say CircleCi gets 100,000 companies paying their 30$/month subscription (I think that's a pretty ambitious number, or am I naive?) this puts them at 36 million $ yearly income, even today they have over 600 employees - assuming an average of 180k$/y per employee this puts them paying 108 million $ just on salaries. Which part of the story am I missing? what makes investors believe they are going to see big returns?
