The graph seemed to be of estimated development years. If you accumulate an in place FS, dm, mdraid, LVM and all assorted userland tools I think that ZFS is probably less code complexity.

There is some ideological complexity, namely the ARC (in implementation, not in algorithm) is a pretty big wart. It works well when properly dressed, but it is pretty hard to make work well with most OS kernel allocators and memory pressure.

Among other dubious things, they seem to be using “lose” to include what most people would see as “win with less speed and/or greater cost and/or less expansive goals than what some armchair generals speculate could have been achieved with an alternative strategy in the same circumstances.”
I am from outside the hc sector, but I know how to build models on large data sets. So if you seriously know how to get the data, I seriously know what to do with it.

> But then if you earn $200 million per year, you still only pay 50% tax -

If you are making $200 million, then you are most likely paying 20% in taxes as you probably have incorporated and you are being taxed at a capital gains rate.

Hell if you are making that much, you could incorporate in a foreign nation with little to no taxes and then refuse to repatriate the earnings and just loan yourself money the money at 1% interest rate. Loans aren't taxed.

The largest banks like UBS, Bank of America, HSBC, JP Morgan, etc have floors dedicated to wealth management who will help you dodge taxes.

It's based on the semi truck. They didn't announce reservations for it or anything. It might be fair to call it a concept truck at this time, but I doubt it's the last we'll see of it.
I'm not suggesting a first party would do it, but say a platform akin to Pebble, Apple Watch or Android Wear were to enable an app like that to be developed. What part would be illegal then - the device itself? The app? The app store? Restricting this seems somewhere between asinine and impossible.
Sure, but the internet serves the economic purposes of most of the world. Nobody wants it to go away. Can't say the same about bitcoin however.
"I think it's murkier when one group commits a disproportionate amount of crime - accurate/percise coverage might look disproportionate even though it's actually representative."

You're gonna have to prove that's the case. In just about every study, it's been shown that, no, the crime rates are not disproportionately higher.

"Feminism is inherently bigoted"

No, it's not. Not in the slightest. Wanting equality only looks bigoted to those who benefit from the inequality.

Java is absolutely rightly derided as the next COBOL because it is. It is the abstract concept of bureaucracy incarnated in code. But that means it will likely follow COBOLs trajectory. A million legacy systems written in it will underpin the central core of a million businesses, being the (entirely unrecognized) most important component of the entire corporate structure bar none. And those systems will need care and feeding in their old age.
"If you are not self motivated to constantly evolve you have a problem. Moreso than in a lot of other professions."

I was self-motivated to constantly learn, and had no trouble doing it... when I was young. It was the right profession for me then, when I had the interest and passion.

After a while, though, much of it starts to seem the same. The towering vistas that were once full of mystery, adventure, and discovery turned in to endless plateaus of rinse and repeat learning of technical minutia and buzzword tech of the day. I also developed lots of new interests, and started to want to have an actual life outside of work.

So then I very consciously decided not to strive to excel in my field anymore, because it would just take way too much of my time, which I'd rather spend doing other things. Then, before too long, I burnt out, and took a long break, eventually coming back to the field because I burnt through all my savings and needed money. This happened a bunch of times, with ever longer breaks in between.

Every time, I was able to brush up on the technology knowledge and skills that I needed to get a job, but I was never as excited about it as I was when I was young, and actually started to dread working with it, as I found it mind-numbingly boring.

I should have definitely completely switched careers after my first major burnout, but I didn't, and I've come back to the field again and again instead. This has definitely been a mistake, but here I am. I'm good enough at what I do to get work, and to even impress my managers... while I still haven't burnt out this time around and am still capable of putting in the overtime to get a lot done. But it's just a matter of time until I burn out again, and this pattern of not working for extended periods of time looks horrible on my resume, I haven't learned nearly as much as I would have had I stayed employed the whole time, and my career is nowhere near as advanced as that of people who can hack full-time employment long-term.

I don't think my case is typical, as most people seem to stay employed continuously in the long run. But I can't, and I feel I'm way too old for a career change now... and, anyway, I suspect whatever it is that I'd switch careers to would get boring before long and I'd burn out again. My interests are far too varied and I can't stick to doing any one thing for long before getting bored.

This is not to mention all of the endless corporate bullshit one has to put up with at work. Some people are really career-oriented and can deal with it. I'm not.

You could just buy them, which lowers your overall expenditure. Mining only amortizes a greater cost over time.

Your compiler can't handle errors for you. Error propagation is not error handling.
37 with 17 years in tech and absolutely love writing code every day. Because I've always been good at keeping my expenses low, I'm also now making a good enough living to never have to think about money.

But what has kept me constantly improving is trying out many diffent things over the years: aside from having all of the roles of a software team at one point, I've also been a researcher, coach, consultant and CEO. Also in non tech-related fields.

But now I'm again back to being a programmer. It's the position where you can make the biggest difference.
But the status quo of "Put tons of work producing content and hope that youtube doesn't demonetize, because then my patreon links get deleted." is also pretty fucked.

Besides this, I think, focus among other things also plays a big part in your abilities. If I am checking FB every 5 mins then I will never be able to match the learning abilities of someone who does not even care what is happening around him while he is learning.

1) It blocks ads, just like a browser extension would

2) It has a set-up a payment content creators can take advantage of.

I fail to see what is wrong with either.
It's not bootlicking. It's just common sense when you factor in cost, thickness and experience with durability. You know, re-entering the atmosphere and not burning up. I don't trust apple's marketing about iphone durability because I have broken several. This is a new product, and already you're comparing it to a smartphone that costs $1,000 and $250 to manufacture?
The iphone:
1. lower price point than the truck
2. has to be slim, and lightweight. Many restrictions.

the semi:
1. costs much more than an iphone, which we're to assume accounts for the expensive windshield.
2. the windshield can be as thick as your attitude.
I'm an American and I'm fed up with it. What pisses me off the most is that, IME, nobody fits into either of these categories. It's devolved into a one-dimensional Left or Right, when really most people are mixed on every issue.
A Net Before the Web, Part 4: The Rogue, the Yuppie, and the Soldier
My experience is that it's slightly less common in Go than in C or Java, but quite a lot easier to debug than either of the other two. My explanation for why it's less common in Go is that fewer things are pointers, especially compared to Java, and that the things that the cause is more immediately apparent, especially compared to C. Of course, nil/null is still an unnecessary problem in all of these languages, in the sense that there are language features that render these problems obsolete; however, these languages (especially C and Java) aren't likely to adopt these features or at least not to adopt them and completely sunset nil/null for compatibility reasons.
> The most infuriating thing about the current tax system is that the magical $150K number (where the tax rate suddenly levels off) is in fact the exact point after which earning money starts to get easier. This is exactly the point when the tax rates should start really sloping up - Not the point where they should level off!

Can you reference the study or data supporting the assertion that making money gets easier after $150k per year?

Tangentially, income is (rightly, IMO) not based on effort or how easy the work is. I could punch the wall all day long, and end every day with bruised, bleeding knuckles, but even though that's hard work, no one's going to pay me much for that. Income is generally based on the value other's perceive because of one's effort.
I don't think Flattr will succeed over cryptocurrencies such as BAT/STEEM.

Fail to see how is Bitcoin fragile. It has been running non stop for past 8 years churning out a block every 10 minutes without fail while being under constant attack from hackers, governments, it has its own internal governance issues, hard forks, technical issues, scaling debates. And yet it is growing in liquidity and scale.
I doubt state actors can do anything about it.
And that sentiment towards Bitcoin is changing every single day.
Agreed, horrible idea for the time being, but you made it seem as if ZFS could run on these low resource systems.

There are certain features in ZFS which I'd love to run on embedded devices. I even remember Apple toying around with porting ZFS to macOS (back then called OSX or OS X) [1]. We're 10 years later, and only now has Apple rolled out APFS which has CoW and data integrity (yet no TimeMachine support for APFS).

EDIT: to those who commented, was it ECC RAM?

You can probably get a P150D or whatever it will be at that time. Which will give you Roadster like acceleration, probably 400-500 mile range, and will still be a family sedan.
My only issue in my half year of use so far has been this - they don't fit nicely in my ears, but I know people where it is a perfect fit. If this could be improved, I'd be a very happy camper.
In my books, money that you get from dividend or rent payments is not 'earned income'.

I don't think it should be classified as income; it should get its own category and be taxed much higher. We don't want to encourage people to sit around and do nothing just because they happened to decide to buy a few Apple or Amazon shares 20 years ago.

Maybe the tax rate would be correlated to happiness, but that's OK; maybe it will average out the human experience... That seems fair.

Or just people with good business sense. We hired someone a while back that put on her CV/resume that she had experience working for companies. I forget how she phrased it, but "good business sense" catches the general idea.

It turns out she's amazing because she knows how business works and how to get things done efficiently and what the business really wants from her: Quick, stable code.

Others we've hired that didn't have this skill have not fared nearly so well. I'm definitely looking for that kind of thing in future hires now.
My 6 years of C++ and 8 years of C# and 10 years of Java and 5 years of Go agree with you both.
Big difference is that Bitcoin has all the right conditions for a bubble pop. If someone did a 51% attack, this would cause people to lose trust in the currency, everyone would cash out, creating a bank run, which would be a self-accelerating process that drives the price even lower. So even if the network recovered the next day, it would take a long long time to rebuild that trust.

Whereas with the internet, if someone is able to knock out critical infrastructure one day, engineers would figure out a way to fix/reroute it, get it working a few days later, and everyone would happily log back on as soon as it's working. Although maybe they would throw out their "smart" coffee machines and etc.
It incentivizes people to use it, though. This is how Bitcoin gained adoption in the early days, too.

As for the "thrown away money", that's people's business if they want to do it with a relative chance of the author gaining that money.
It was born as a 'just good enough' hack, jammed into a static document presentation system into which interactive application functionality was shoehorned with pain points at every turn. It currently writhes in a morass of dependency hell, sprouting a hundred duplicate efforts of trying to soften those pain points every day. And it managed to get so big because the W3C continued, year after year, to obstinately refuse to acknowledge the web as an application platform until very recently.

But, they did acknowledge it. And they're now making design decisions to facilitate the web as an application platform, rather than intentionally trying to make application development as difficult as possible to dissuade it. So now we've got WebAssembly and tomorrow or the day after we will have any language anyone wants to use being used. In that arena, Javascript will get pantsed and laughed out of the room. It will probably happen with pretty amazing speed, as there are legions of developers who have been holding their breath for this for 20 years.
That's not true. A company doesn't manage to sell its shares because of dividends. Dividends may be used to estimate value base on the expectation of returns, but if dividends were relevant or even dictated the share price then stocks of companies that posted negative results would be worth zero. Which they don't.
Breaking news: people who like attention and power also like to abuse their power.
As stated in the article, git is also challenging for game development because of the large asset files. Git has limitations and they are part of the reasons a lot of companies and even indie game devs didn't jump into it (Jonathan Blow, John Carmack, being some of the critics). It's more about speed, simplicity, and efficiency rather than "Corp" vs "Open Source" conspiracy.
'more bang' depends on what metric you're going for.

From a "getting things done" perspective, I would vehemently disagree with you.
If you care about things like 'having more reports' and 'spending investor money', then yes, you're correct.

The correct definition for senior developer vs junior developer is 'delivers company value without handholding' (vs 'with handholding'). If you've lucked into a young, hardworking dev who can do the former, remember to pay them well and don't burn them out. That crop will produce year after year for a while instead of just once or twice.
My problem was comparing the iphone that has a $1,000 price point to the new glass of the semi. I'm not comparing anything to truck manufacturing industry. I presume that that it also costs more than an iPhone. So what's your point?
v2 really needs a “Find My AirPods” feature that works and can sound a chime while they’re in the case.

Contact charging with AirPower will be nice, too.

Maybe not for v2, but I have to believe they’ll eventually add some “microtouch” for swiping volume or other controls.

Otherwise nearly a perfect product. A real game changer when paired with the LTE Watch.
I just started my first job in CS this year, at 25. And after a few months of working on products, which are themselves actually quite fascinating, I don't see myself working in Software Development for more than 5-6 years.

The thing that stands out to me is how much more successful product and project managers are at my company, and they are doing much less work and have less hectic jobs. Software dev is interesting, but I plan to transition into management because I think a software development background can actually help me propel much further in the career than just sticking to programming will. And the other thing is that as a developer, I have to continue to keep up with newer technologies and make sure that I know what's new, or be at the risk of being replaced eventually.

CS is a great field, but I think that the pace at which most big companies hire and lay off employees is too significant to ensure a stable job for too long.

I don't know why everyone sees reduced tax revenue as a problems. Less money to spend means more critical evaluation of how it gets spent.
As an example of how accounting rules can affect investor perception:

When Apple started selling the iPhone, they recognized the revenue for each phone over 2 years. They thought they had to do that in order to provide free software updates.

Within a couple years the accounting rule changed and Apple could report full revenue from an iPhone sale upfront. Suddenly their GAAP earnings jumped, which led to a stock jump too.
Uhm... the author seems to be confused about the relationship between Github and git.

GitHub doesn't develop git, it's a service built on top of git. Any modifications to git has nothing to do with GitHub. GFVS is a GitHub project, not part of git.
While in absolute terms it's not any more ok to spy on adults than children, the idea of spying on children being more morally repugnant is based around the idea of children as innocent and by spying on then we're depriving them of that and allowing malicious actors to prey on that innocence (hey, now someone knows where this child will be, when, and most of the important things happening in their life; much easier to trick.)

In reality the same arguments apply to adults, but we find it less morally repugnant because adults aren't innocent and are expected to gaurd themselves against such actions. However, it becomes more and more difficult to guard against.
