I love Void. It's like Arch was back when I first tried it. My main machine still runs Slackware, but my Raspberry Pi 2 runs Void and I've been mostly satisfied with it. The unsatisfying bit isn't really Void's fault; a bug in Xorg prevented it from working with musl on ARM. this has since been fixed.

Note that it is $15k ($14k last I checked, but it may have risen) per gifter-giftee pair.

So I can give my son $14k, my wife can give my son $14k, and we can both given my daughter a combined $28k all without even registering against the $5 million lifetime exclusion or paying any gift taxes. And couples can do that every single year for decades, which adds up to millions even without touching the exclusion.
Yeah, when I added the package, I told them the next version will not require vendoring and can be built without git. The next version will do this.

> there is no right way to do software interviews.

In the context you presented this in, I agree with you. However, interviewing is a skill that must be learned or you are going to make loads of beginner mistakes. In that sense there are many right things you should be doing in an interview and whatever your company style is, you're going to want to use at least some of those best practices in your interviews if you want to find the best candidates in the shortest time.

Another point everyone should remember because I’ve seen the attitude a lot recently.

If the reporting requirements seem to be literally impossible to comply with, this doesn’t mean you conclude “so I don’t have to pay taxes”. It means you should conclude “I have to pay the maximum taxes possible under the worst case scenario because I don’t have the records to prove my version of events”.

It has nothing to do with crypto, lose basis in your stock and you assume no basis (obviously you make best guess and hope To not get audited, but once audited, you take no basis).
A $6 Trillion Wake-Up Call For The Tech Industry
> Freshbooks has built from scratch two SAAS which have handled over $60 billion worth of invoices and expenses for over 10 million users.

Right but those transactions have all been more or less the same type of vanilla invoicing. Unless something has really changed in Freshbooks, that’s an app that handles very specific relatively simple needs. The government of Canada is a giant entity that is most seriously orders of mangnitude different and complex than any usecase for FreshBooks, and that’s just the reality.

> I'm suggesting that Mike McDerment could build and lead a team who would successfully build a payroll system for the Government of Canada for far less than a billion dollars.

Maybe, but probably not. The real problem is probably that the business needs of the government of Canada are not well defined and the bureaucrats cannot define them. The comparison to FreshBooks is just so off because it’s totally upside down. FreshBooks was built and provides certain functionality. Building a payroll system for The government of Canada is an exercise in reverse engineering the Government of Canada. It’s an exercise in squaring hundreds of not thousands of different circles and making them fit into a box.

You can absolutely delete. You just append data that represents a delete, and the client doesn't show that item or shows it as deleted.

Yes, it doesn't remove that data from the chain and a client could easily end up undoing deletes, but if you think that server based deletes actually remove the data, you might be in for an unpleasant surprise depending on the servers in question.

The author's suggested fix is "Let’s make a digital Environmental Protection Agency. Call it the Digital Protection Agency. Its job would be to clean up toxic data spills, educate the public, and calibrate and levy fines."

A couple upfront issues with this:
1) "cleaning up toxic data spills" - this doesn't seem well worked out, unless the author suggests going and deleting the stolen data off others' computers

2) "educate the public" - the author suggests explaining how to deal with identify theft. That's great, but doesn't address the secondary issues of advertising/propaganda/other clever unintended uses of data.
I use both as daily drivers on laptops, and they are both very nice systems. Some differences:

* Alpine is lighter-weight. As at least one point, Alpine packages are split into small parts (usually at least app, app-dev, and app-doc, respectively containing the actual program, the development headers, and the manpages/docs). Alpine also defaults to using Busybox for coreutils.

* Void is rolling release with regular updates and a surprisingly large repo. Alpine has a rolling "edge" release and stable releases that are supported for 2 years.

* Void works on a traditional install to a writable root filesystem; Alpine can do that ("sys" install), or can run in RAM, optionally persisting state).

* Alpine uses hardened kernels. They used to use grsec, not sure what code they use now. Additionally, they configure the system to be locked down; for instance, on the laptop I'm using to type this comment, I can only check the battery status as root, and powertop outright doesn't work (as I understand it, they completely killed off the debugfs interface it needs).

* Void seems to be more into cutting-edge tech; ZFS and wireguard come to mind.

In general, Alpine is designed for embedded, Void is a general-purpose system. Both can do the others' job, but that's their tendencies.
They don't. Even the new cryptocurrencies such as IOTA and Nano don't use blockchain anymore.
Also, GHC for a very long time would only generate C code and IIRC even bundle GCC in the Windows builds; it's still available as the -fvia-C option in current versions.

GNU Common Lisp comes to mind as well (not to be confused with GNU CLisp, which is an interpreter implemented in C).
That ball is already rolling downhill, and I don’t think it can be stopped. In addition to the perfectly reasonable concerns of a few billion people, there are also some very wealthy and entrenched media interests who only stand to gain by kicking it along. I don’t think the reputation of tech is salvageable at this point, and the result will be having to live with regulation and oversight like every other industry. Even if everyone shaped up overnight (and they won’t) there is still so much yet to emerge into the public light about what has already happened. Uber and Facebook alone have almost certainly only just begun to bleed scandal.
This is most definitely not how 99.99999% of trading volume is executed.

Most developed countries have an agency dedicated to data protection.

The UK has the ICO, Japan has the Personal Information Protection Commission, Canada has the Office of the Privacy Commissioner, Switzerland has the FDPIC, etc.

> if you lose, you get to wait for 90 seconds for some service to stop

Now, now, that's really down to the way you write your RC scripts. Plenty of distros over the years have had timeout-based prereq-waits in their init.d scripts.

(Heck, I currently have a prereq-wait of some kind going on in the early-stage init of a macOS system, because it happens to contain a non-Apple-manufactured NVMe SSD formatted as APFS. Seems like TRIMing APFS volumes gets deferred to boot-time.)

The implementation may be similar, and arguably the term DRM could apply, but I imagine that a key difference is that DRM (in general) controls how a content recipient can use the content (e.g. I can't modify it, or I'm limited in what programs can open the file). Here, the goal is (presumably) to control who receives access to the content, but not imposing restrictions on people who do receive it.

I agree you could make an awesome game about this by pretending to be a purely utilitarian engeneering puzzle and later showing you the actual consequences of your actions. But I wasn't aware that was their actual strategy. If it was, hats off!

Remind me of a quote from Alan Moore:

"Writers and people who had command of words were respected and feared as people who manipulated magic.

In latter times I think that artists and writers have allowed themselves to be sold down the river. They have accepted the prevailing belief that art and writing are merely forms of entertainment. They’re not seen as transformative forces that can change a human being, that can change a society. They are seen as simple entertainment—things with which we can fill twenty minutes, half an hour, while we’re waiting to die.

It is not the job of artists to give the audience what the audience want. If the audience knew what they needed, then they wouldn’t be the audience; they would be the artists. It is the job of artists to give the audience what they need."

Not a tax pro, but I would treat any involuntary conversion similar to a corporate action where you got new shares for old shares, the new shares inherited the basis of the old shares, and would generally not be a taxable event. This is assuming it’s analogous to a tax-free spinoff event in the equities world.
> ...it requires triangulation + accurate timestamps...

This system does not do round-trip time measurements (RTT) which I believe you are referring. RTT is different because it uses actual triangulation, whereas this system merely classifies a given point in space based on surrounding electromagnetic waves (WiFi/Bluetooth/etc.). RTT is superior, what I would call extreme precision, because it is capable of cm-level precision. (I say high-precision as compared to GPS which I tried to do this with before years ago).

I love RTT, except that it is not a solution that is widely available yet. This FIND system is nice because anyone can use on their phone right now, and you don't know need any specialized hardware or need to buy any equipment. And the signal generators are already there (your WiFi, your neighbors WiFi, Bluetooth devices, etc.).

> How many devices to coordinate the location discovery?

In the active mode (where you do the scanning) it will use every device it sees in the vicinity. In a place like an apartment in the city, this would include all WiFi+Bluetooth points in your home and your neighbors, which could be dozens.

> There's no mention of hardware or system requirements.

Thanks, I'll fix this. It really depends on how you use FIND - in active mode you only need a computer or a Android smartphone. For passive mode you need some small computers and WiFi cards.

It looks[1] like you can use Cert Manager with CloudFront[2], but not directly with S3.

CloudFront is very cheap[3], but it is not free. (For that matter, S3 itself is cheap but not free.)

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear, but I don't think it's an argument without merit.

I mean that if you want to build a UI in the manner described in the article—where you essentially use a JS UI framework to render the application server-side, and subsequently make it interactive on the client side—then doing so without the server being Javascript is more complex.

I have direct experience of doing this – I built a complex web application that used this approach from within Rails. Essentially this replaced Rails built-in template renderer with a JS environment running in V8. It was pretty cool, in that it meant writing templates once and having them server-side rendered but also interactive on the client side – but it added a huge amount of complexity.

Is there something I was babbling about that I missed?
