Neat idea. The layout looks very similar to devour.com. Was that intentional?
And your work is "trying to run a $10B company?" Just write yourself a $10B check and consider it accomplished.

If you're going to conflate living your life with working hard, then you've got no reason to separate spending your money from making your money, and at that point it doesn't matter how much you're making.

People also have goals like "achieve something with lasting value" and running a company with a big budget is not intrinsically that. Especially when you're so prone to fail at it.
No idea why this is being downvoted. If you ask me, it's irresponsible not to invest in your tools and productivity. If you don't, you're wasting your employer's time and money. A bit of time "dorking around" in Vim will pay huge dividends over time.

Give it a shot. Open up `vimtutor`. It's easier than you think!

> How about a ceiling as well? What's an equitable spread?

In no possible way up to you to decide, thankfully.

It's one thing to say "nobody should go hungry or live on the street"; we could argue about the most efficient way to go about achieving that, but it's not an unreasonable statement. It's quite another thing to say "you're not allowed to be too successful or we'll steal it from you".
Thanks.

Fwiw it's worth learning how to use the excellent Debian Alternatives [1] system to install stuff not in the repo's. Download the precompiled binary, or download the source and compile it, put in $HOME, /opt, or wherever you want, then use update-alternatives to soft link it into the standard system directories (/usr, /usr/bin, /usr/local, etc). You can manage and toggle between multiple versions of the same software that way, including the repo version, and lots more benefits, see github readme below.

I think maven did not push incremental builds because there was not a big need.

Most people code Java in an IDE. Both Idea and Eclipse do incremental builds inside the IDE. So as you are coding, you are incremental building.

Every place I have used maven, maven was used for the build server and the final release. Spinning on a webpage changing some code? You are using your IDE for that.

(Now scala is a little bit different, so we have SBT with incremental support as a pretty ground level thing)

You'd have to think though that a frame built long before CAD and long before you could stress test member components digitally would be much heavier for the same strength (or weaker for the same weight) than a modern airframe which could be min-maxed to high hell before a single sheet of aluminum was stamped.
They don't have to dam the whole thing but they could redirect the water going in the kettle to go over the falls on the right, so the hole is free to be explored via winch & harness, or remote camera.
> they try to achieve a relatively modest increase

Looking at their (current) pricing model for this, it seems like a drive for more predictable income, instead of additional profit. The ability to depend on getting X dollars per month makes it a lot easier to hire employees on, and justify working on the products.

And for many folks, Jetbrains will be getting less money out of them, since they're offering quite a deal for anyone who works with more than one of the products.

> fairly unjustified SaaS model

Except that they are providing constant, incremental upgrades to their tools as part of the model. That alone acts as fairly strong justification for a subscription model.

> Instead of driving sales with innovation, they now drive it with fear

Anybody who fears being unable to pay a $20 monthly bill is very unlikely to have paid $200 up front for the tool in the first place. Double that for any company who fears this new cost; they're already ponying up over ten grand per employee, another $20 isn't going bankrupt them.

To go back to the woodworker analogy - the woodworker who can't afford to replace the worn blade in their bandsaw has bigger problems than the monthly cost of consumables.

> However, this whole "people need more skills" and "we need more jobs" meme feels like a losing fight with reality.

In the long-term, sure: if we can successfully build an AI smarter than humans, it's unlikely any job will survive. But at the same time, no job will need to; there's a balance there. Planning for a post-scarcity economy makes sense, but the plans that work in such an economy don't necessarily work when scarcity still exists.
This is quite cool, and opened up a different way of looking at property based testing more like Metropolis or other random walk optimizers.

> The real and politically-incorrect reason for the higher prices is that the cost of doing business is higher in Australia. For example, the minimum wage is very high and consumer protection laws require the company to provide a 2-year warranty at no additional cost.

I wonder what the price differential between Australia and Europe is, at similar points in time, then as these 2 example reasons also apply within Europe. Such a comparison might go some way to explaining if there are structural reasons, as suggested by these specific examples, or if it is simply price gouging.
If World War 2 counts as "social unrest", I'd say Einstein got à point.
I think you hit the nail on the head: "Many institutions are looking for the politically correct person..."

Politics so often dictates who companies hire and influence factors like gender, age and sex. Sad.

You need to use their tools. Jetbrains needs to pay the bills.

Your profit margins prohibit you from purchasing new licenses at $120/yr (it's a business expense, so it's even cheaper).

Your business model seems more suspect than anything to do with Jetbrains.

You shouldn't expect the usefulness of devices to be linear in cost, even for completely rational buyers uninfluenced by fashion or culture. Such buyers will select a phone where the marginal cost is equal to the marginal benefit.

Water gives my 99.9% of the usefulness of Coke (i.e., I don't die of dehydration), but it's also very reasonable for me to spend 10 times more for Cokes because the marginal cost is still small compared to the enjoyment benefit.
Not just that, but they've closed numerous bugs as "wont fix" & blamed them on the linux ecosystem. On Ubuntu, I've gone through some very annoying bugs like the IDE randomly freezing every 10-15m and needing to be restarted, even after removing openJDK & installing the official Java, and all the other annoying things they suggested.

I dislike them as a company because they claimed to support Linux, took my money, and then blamed my choice of OS when things broke. If they don't want to support linux, fine, but they shouldn't say that they do on the sales page, then act to the contrary.
The decision to sell to Microsoft may have been conscious, but what about all of the other decisions that got them to the point where they could get a big sale?

Some tips on how you can improve your app rating
Being a "Great Man" is something relative, how do you even measure it?

That being said, how could the fact that "Great Men" have been raised in stagnating societies be explained?

If you were raised in a societie's whose culture embraces mediocrity, you have to think for yourself and let that fact not define your actions.
If we're going to accuse people of using their idea of reality as an excuse, then the alternative is no better. If it is in someone's nature to be adaptable; and by that virtue to be a success; and if others do not have like nature, then those who do not succeed are excused from ever trying or from having tried. They need feel no guilt for failure, for they could not have been anything other than failures. Nothing need ever be their fault.

So, the alternative hypothesis is no better if you want to go throwing around that sort of blame.
Yes, and it is weirdly unsettling too... seeing how you used to phrase things differently.

What's really interesting is the nootropic crowd has been experimenting with methylene blue for years; a lot of stacks published by nootropic enthusiasts have featured it to increase ATP production (same reason why I take methylcobalamin for my B12).

I personally suspect a lot of "modern" neurodegeneration diseases (such as Alzheimer's) are directly linked to malfunction and eventual death of mitochondria through years of abuse by poor dietary standards, especially in the US, as in, not enough of the B vitamins (which participates in the production of ATP, CoA, acetyl-CoA, NAD, NADP, etc), including Choline and PABA (not usually considered B Vitamins, but have, at one point, been assigned B numbers).

Sounds like FOSS with a support contract would also be appropriate. They might sell you a warranty and indemnity too. Plus your business would have a much better disaster recovery plan if you're not reliant on DRM dev/build tools. Further, selling your business and/or productizing your internal tech can be simpler with FOSS.

>If you're born into the middle class you'll have a much easier time getting further in life than if you're born into a poor, crime-ridden neighborhood with bad schools.

That's a caricature of the problem. You don't need to live in a bad neighborhood. You only need to live in a community where people don't talk about starting businesses, don't know how to start businesses, or never made friends with anybody who owned a successful business. No connections = low chance of success.

But the outlook that in a few years the tool I rely on for my projects will not work anymore is unacceptable for most developers.
Because if we build it correctly, it won't be a person at all, and won't have a value function orthogonal to our own. Building something that can self-improve and solve problems doesn't mean we need to build something that has independent will, motivation, or values. And it's a lot safer not to.

Structured Logging – Part 1: What's the Big Deal
Governments shouldn't provide money. The ideas behind basic income are to ensure the majority of people are one step higher on the hierarchy of needs.

That said, it would be best for governments to provide free safe housing, heat, sanitation, food, water, communications (fast internet and telephone), medical care (including preventive care through gym memberships and such), and high quality accessible education, certification.

The reason I don't like basic income: while in comparison it's a lot easier to budget, it's also a lot harder to keep up to date, or keep geographically relevant. It's harder to find efficiencies, like Soylent for food or improving gyms, hospitals, schools. Its easily abused, money can buy guns or heroin, it doesn't always get used for food. Meanwhile, food in a world where food is free can only feed you and your family.
