BUILD TECHNOLOGY THAT SAVES LIVES!!
The failure rate for the big Windows laptop makers is 18-19% in 3 years. I am pretty sure they've all adopted a basic component level QA process and lets the customer be the QA for the final product.

I've only dealt with Dell and Lenovo products, and their QA is all over the place...from very poor to very good on identical products.

I suspect Razer has their laptops made by Foxconn or Asus or Large_Manufacturer_X. Foxconn not only manufactures a lot of products and components for Apple, but they also make laptops for many other manufacturers. I'd not be at all surprised to learn they have the same 18-19% failure rate as the other big names since they all are born from similar processes.

There is a certain pucker factor when you roll the dice on an expensive Windows box these days that shouldn't really be there.

Apple's failure rate over the same period of time is 10%.
Not the poster that you were addressing, but for me it is because it is inherently parasitic. First line from the description in Wikipedia:

"In economics and in public-choice theory, rent-seeking involves seeking to increase one's share of existing wealth without creating new wealth." (My emphasis)

We live in a time where those that take most, likely need it least and also often take from those that need it most, but often have least.

Aren't a lot of us already doing what matters, but just not articulating it the same way?

I collaborate on a team, so we use one documentation standard and one coding style. We've stripped down our coding and commenting styles to the bare essential--one style that works across the whole team, across the lifespan of the project.

The business that pays our team pays for what customers want. Every once in a while a new guy on the team will write something no one wanted, and we end up chucking it. We're stripping down the project code to the bare essentials necessary to make money.

I think what Chuck Moore brings is not so much a plain ol' minimalism, but a nostalgia for a wild west "one man in a garage" tech scene that never really existed, at least not the way we like to imagine it did, because we live in a world driven as much by money as by love of cool new things.

Not to say he doesn't do cool things, but I could do cool things if I didn't have to answer to business constraints, my fellow team members, and so on.

I haven't read the article in-depth but yeah, it seems like it maybe would have been better titled "What every C++ systems programmer should know about std::atomic". Which is still cool but from the title I was expecting some fancy voodoo algorithms for threadsafe non-locking FIFO queues or something.

Aha! I think's one of the major issues here!

You mentioned TLS versions and cipher suites. TLS is documented in a set of RFCs, so if you want to answer the question "Does software X implement TLS version 1.2?", then you can answer that question by checking its behavior against RFC 5246.

As far as I'm aware, there is no RFC which quantifies trust.

Your first assumption is totally wrong. In which "ideal world" would rent-seeking be eliminated ? Beside a totalitarian world, I really do not see how you can eliminate this type of behavior. Even in that world, you would do nothing but create an unequal society where elites, unchecked, would be the new "rich" (a few hundred years-time worth of "communist regiment" experiments proves it, including to this very day).
Why? SQLite has been put in safety critical systems and has the best test plan I've ever seen for an open source project.
That's a wheel I have reinvented to good effect. Most logging libraries are quite dumb, if you set your threshold to info you get way to much information, if you set your threshold to exception you lose to much information from before the exception was thrown. Different messages from different threads are all mixed together, etc.

My app specific logger is aware of the context it is running in, it will store all the context but only write it on an exception or error and discard it otherwise, so I get all the information I need without the noise from the 99.9% of the time I don't need it.

I do use logging libraries, but they are for the low level stuff like file truncation, rollover, etc and I wish there were "logging" libraries that did just those tricky little parts on let me write the 50 or so LOC that the high level interface needs.
You should give the money to a startup with a product, traction and excited users that is founded by (a) non-dudebro(s).

Because those founders don't get the capital they need, because folks like you unfairly do.

This is because the system is zero-sum and wack, but such as it is, what I suggest is a much better place for the money to go, in terms of profitability (as well as for other obvious reasons).

From there, you should get a job at an established tech startup in a BD role.

The last part is what is likely to happen anyway, after you guys give up within the next 2-4 months. But it would be so much cooler if you did the first part before that happens.

"Timber Towers" work for up to about 10-story building (depending on architecture, building technique). It's similar to brick and mortar buildings, only with the introduction of cement and steel we got the first high rise skyscrapers (1890s-1930s). Also fire-safety (30+ min fire resistance) is a problem with wood based buildings, the photos shows that at least the elevator and staircase shaft is made out of steel reinforced concrete. That said wood based buildings have a warmer in-house climate and other positive aspects.
went through almost all of your points actually. though my symptoms were "gastro-attacks" of frightening intensity where i'd end up in hospital. ended up having gallbladder removed after test showed it very-low functioning and had complete recovery. took PPI's still intermittently, but tapered off after a couple years.
In general, a reasonable axiom of public policy is to focus on correcting negative externalities and unjust outcomes while minimizing interference in well-functioning free markets. Your idea is nice, but we already have mortgage tax credits and have seen the negative effect that has had on the economy.

What's more, is who gets to decide what is a necessity. Once upon a time I flew to Australia, bought a commercial van, a surf board, and converted it into a camper and travelled a loop around the country. I was by definition poor and homeless, but I was in heaven. I don't think this would qualify for any tax breaks under your plan. In this way your plan creates a complex tax code that does not align with me maximizing my utility function.

There are vast benefits to simplifying the tax code, and I would argue a better version of your idea is to guarantee a basic income to everyone.

BI won't work for everyone, such as the truly disabled, but it's a more efficient way of reducing inequality for the truly poor, and more capable of maximizing individual utility functions.

I know you will say "but who will produce useful goods and services," but at the moment I would wager far less than 30% of the population produces useful commerce. The labor participation rate is only about 60%, and many jobs don't produce anything useful. For example, police officers in Utah that settle for 0.5MM for unconstitutional injustices are draining taxpayer funds. Wall St is completely out-of-control. Bureaucracy, military-congressional-contractor-complex, healthcare insurance companies... There is an extroardinary amount of waste.

BI would also benefit the economy by increasing aggregate demand. It would stimulate investment by providing a safety net for indivisuals deciding to retrain or invest in education.

OpenDocument and its competitor (OOXML) both use zip/XML for portability reasons. Yes, they're less efficient. But they're also completely independent of any specific software implementation [1].

Betteridge's law of headlines applies and mostly the answer is "No".

I am not sure of the exact word but it's like a transaction with a used car salesman. The transaction can never happen at an "ideal" price. Car Salesman will always overvalue the utility while the buyer will always undervalue the utility.
I think you'll find that many seriously wealthy people tend to make more money from owning things than they do from producing things.

Why is it defective?
Rent-seeking is the attempt to profit from economic activity without contributing anything of value to said activity. I.e. you could eliminate the rent-seeker and the only effect would be lowered costs due to them no longer collecting their cut.

Of course pure rent-seeking is pretty rare, and most middlemen do provide at least some value e.g. doing market research and helping interested parties find each other. But in some cases they gain an entrenched position and start taking larger cuts purely because they can. An ideal free market would correct that through emergence of a competitor, but in the real world that is often prevented through lobbying for regulations in favor of the rent-seeker.
Still we have less and less rainforests. Maybe some of us are good in planning, but the questions is what's in focus. Money or sustainability. I think nowadays it is still money.
> We also do not have any form of source control or testing. Wen things break, we fix them on the fly.

> Do you have a good book recommendation on project structuring?

Get it in source control and write some tests before you start hacking up the structure!

The above statement is "totally wrong"? How can you be so sure?
It's strange when I hear about fires. I live in India and "fire" has never been a thing we thought of. It was rare to ever even see a fire brigade truck.

Maybe because most houses in India are made of brick?

I think what the OPs mean is that in the classical case, the lone, noninteracting particle has a fixed, definite energy and not an average energy. There are no other configurations to consider, besides the set of points that the particle may be in space, but that is irrelevant to the energy and temperature. Maybe what you're saying is true if you consider a single quantum particle, I'm not sure.

You must be talking about nested URLs? I faced that problem too and then realized that you don't need any special support for that (at least if your case is not very complicated), in our project we just use URL kwargs for a viewset like this:

`/users/(?P<model_pk>[0-9]+)/comments/` and then just get the required object in `def get_queryset` or throw a 404.
no, the assumption that eliminating rent-seeking behavior could be achieved.

As per the wikipedia description: "idea of rent-seeking was developed by Gordon Tullock in 1967.[2] The expression rent-seeking was coined in 1974 by Anne Krueger.[3] The word "rent" does not as a rule refer here to payment on a lease but stems instead from Adam Smith's division of incomes into profit, wage, and rent.[4] The origin of the term refers to gaining control of land or other natural resources." [emphasis mine]

Whether it is a pseudo "public" Government or a Private individual, the behavior of "rent-seeking" is the same, ie. resource's control.
Very cool!

Which translates to: I basically don't want to use it. At least not for development.

There are some caveats on 'rent seeking' that mean it has quite a small impact.

Technically, rent seeking comes up in situations where a private individual is capturing the value created through, eg, public infrastructure. The public can take this value for themselves through a land tax.

The profit made from maintaining a productive asset isn't considered 'rent'. So, for example, renting out a house is not necessarily rent seeking behavior (!!) because the landlord is maintaining the house. The rent-seeking part is when the rent is raised because a new local train station opens.

In this slightly technical instance, eliminating rent seeking, by definition, is likely to reduce the income to the those who are not adding any value. The behavior that is dis-incentivised was, again by deffinition, never economically productive. Economically productive investment (ie, capitalism) is supposedly untouched. Investors and retirees have to reallocate their investments into productive ventures instead of rent seeking, hopefully at no loss to their income.

The theory and practice might not be the same thing, I'm no economist.

I don't see how your comment is responsive to the excellent article.

doc and xls were proprietary binary formats.

sqlite files couldn't be more open - the software to interact with them is in the public domain and ported everywhere.

And the article itself doesn't even suggest using sqlite as a binary store. Rather, it suggests using the capabilities of sqlite to augment text-based data.
Totally trivial. And yet, I still can barely parse what's going on in there.
Since your specific about your statically typed language, which I'm assuming you mean Haskell. Are you also specific about your dynamically typed language? Are you talking specifically of Clojure?

Its unfair to club Clojure and imperative object oriented dynamic languages together. The same way its unfair to club Java and Haskell together.

You're right about the print-ln style. You do run your code everytime you touch a single line. That's what I like about it. But its a personal preference, like some people prefer to compose music on a sheet, others rather have their instrument in hand.

And you're forgetting the trade offs. With haskell, you wrestle the compiler, and every line you write has a compile error at first, until you get it right. This takes as much time if not more, at least for me, then it does running each of my lines of code in my REPL.

I guess I fall in that category where I kind of enjoy the beauty of both, though at the end of the day, I find myself having more fun coding when writing Clojure.

I've never suffered from a Clojure refactoring. You have to be a little more careful, but its never been that painful to me. Again, could be how I perceive "coding pain" is different from others.
Something I'm surprised that nobody's mentioned yet are the acoustics of a wooden building. Wood is less dense when compared to concrete and (at least in older buildings) there are significant air gaps between ceiling and floorboards of the floor above it. As anyone who's lived in an SF Victorian will tell you even regular walking can be perceived as loud by the person below. Before I'd consider living in a wooden building, I'd have to be convinced that the noise isolation would be sufficient. I wonder if it's been accounted for properly in these new buildings.
You fail to mention labour negotiating leverage, or rather lack thereof. See Adam Smith, or Ricardo's Iron Law of Wages, or J.S. Mill.

That won't work in the language that most server-side website code is written in.

PHP does have a sessions feature, but that data is written to either the filesystem (by default) or a database on every request!

Netflix compensation packages are base salary only. So they are competitive by attempting to compute the value of Google or Facebook compensation packages which include shares and generous bonuses, and then Netflix aims to slightly beat that as well.

Netflix has other perks of course. But they also have a pretty crazy layoff policy and they brag about how awesome their severance package is.

Employment as Netflix is really a mixture of the income premium and lack of stability that a contractor would have, with a compensation structure closer to a startup (base salary only, no formalized bonuses).
