>For example, it should be useful to move the top navigation bar into a big colored menu bar, like on github or on HN.

I tried this but I really dislike it:

It's just sooo distracting to me, and it plays up sourcehut as being more important to the visitor than the content they came for, imo.

>Imho the summary tab should show the files in the repo, as Github does

I disagree here as well, just as a matter of taste.

>A useful rule for links is that all links should be colored as long as they are not in a navigation area

>It's a bit strange that the top navigation has a highlight on link hover, the second one does not (summary, tree, log, ...)

Aye, I'm going to revisit this.

>Your css applies `font-size: .9rem;`, it shouldn't. That's often ignored and who am I to preach design, but I have the absolute conviction that body text should not be messed with. Trust in the browser, keep it as is, just make headings bigger and detail elements a little bit smaller, the latter only when absolutely needed. Fits to your design philosophy anyway.

I'll think about this.

I'm not saying states shouldn't levy taxes. I'm saying that state taxes shouldn't diminish federal taxes. Under the old system, if your home state charged say, a 10% income tax, that would reduce your federally taxable income by 10%. That means that states could essentially eat a chunk of the revenue that would otherwise have gone to the federal government.

Some bugs may take longer than that to fix. I still don't think it's an unreasonable question to ask.
Lots of vying alternatives results in development being spread out and no one single solution getting all the features and clean-up. Plus, "more" does not equal "better" when it comes to security development; not that many people can write secure apps well.

I feel like you don't have a really clear understanding of how our economic system works. If you want equality, capitalism is not exactly the best way to get it.
I think what's being referred to was the ability to write off state taxes, which lowered your overall net income in the government's eyes, and thus what you were responsible for paying. It's not that states shouldn't be able to tax, it's that this particular write-off made higher state taxes more palatable at the expense of Federal taxes.
Funny you should mention lobsters; while it doesn't happen as often as it does here, that site also likes to bash us on our collective noggins that $internetThing is bad and spying on us as if we didn't get it. Probably the only reason it doesn't happen with the frequency it happens here is that lobsters has a much smaller active poster userbase.

Earn?

Did NYC "earn" it's first-mover advantage, natural harbor, and particular terrestrial makeup that supports high-rise buildings on the solid granite beneath the feet of every NYC resident?

Did CA "earn" it's fertile central valley, diverse climates great for agriculture and recreation, and miles of gorgeous coastline?

Each wave of residents exploits the resources available to them. No more. No less.

Let's not pretend otherwise. Economics is not a morality tale.
Paying off loans doesn't also mean you are also living paycheck-to-paycheck. Even if so, this article is well researched and has sparked good discussion - accusing the author of being tone deaf, with no other contribution or criticism is not very nice.
The job description is prioritization which is essentially saying "yes" or "no" to certain tasks. Especially in tech companies, the front line reports can always find something to do. Software developers want to automate everything or build cool things or use the latest tech. Managers are there to guide that, and that means saying "focus on A, B and C" because there's a gigantic list of tasks but saying no to 99% of that list makes the company perform better.
Case Study: Monolithic Repository at Google (2018) [pdf]
Because there is vastly more state in the world than there is code. And frankly, most state is not that important. Just wait until you work with a sufficiently large immutable system, they are an operational nightmare.

You should opt-in to immutability when the state calculations are very complex and very expensive to get wrong.

I do wish mainstream languages had better tools for safe, opt-in immutability. Something like a "Pure" attribute you assign to a function. It can only call other pure functions and the compiler can verify that it has no state changes in it's own code.
You're conflating all sorts of rich people into a single type and then use that as the universal example. Warren Buffet lives in Nebraska and operates his conglomerate just fine from there. This he was doing before the internet age, something that now allows for even greater freedom of moving and operating from distant places.
The thing is, if you’re running production services, particularly ones that need to be stable and secure, then you need to treat any version update with caution; even point versions on SemVer strings. You’d still need to deploy to dev and test first, you’d still need to do any security scans you’d normally do, etc.

The dev community have suffered malware before from point releases being released by new authors. And we’ve seen occasions in the past where a bug fix in a point release has inadvertently broken something else.

I guess you can argue that SemVar gives you an estimate about the likelihood something will break which might help when estimating JIRA tickets for the next sprint. But realistically you’d still have to follow a cautious release cycle even for updating point releases when on production environments.

This is why I think we need to get past the mindset of treating version strings as something trustworthy. They offer no guarantees whatsoever.

Is there any particular reasoning as to that value? If we assume major highway limits of 70 mph and add an excessive 20-30 mph for passing, that's still a ton of extra lethal kinetic energy.

edit: Apparently even the Autobahn has a recommended speed of 80 mph (I'm aware you can go faster, but then why have a limit at all?)
I imagine the people doing robo calls spend an insane amount of money with Google?
Inko (https://inko-lang.org/) uses this approach for its bytecode interpreter. I can't speak about how well it performs compared to an AST interpreter since I never wrote one for Inko, but generally bytecode interpreters should be faster. I also think bytecode interpreters would be easier to optimise, as you're no longer directly tied to the AST of the input language.

If you're curious, you can find Inko's interpreter loop here: https://gitlab.com/inko-lang/inko/blob/master/vm/src/vm/mach...
Thanks for the book suggestion, that looks like exactly the kind of thing I'm interested in.
I think most Boomers didn't have financial support, and they didn't need it: their wealth accumulated at a faster rate than large expenses (college, healthcare, housing) grew.

Those large expenses are now almost all exhibiting bubble-like costs, but probably aren't bubbles. They're the new normal. Millenials, and at least the generation after them, will need financial support to live similarly to the environments they were raised in.
"Lowering their effective national tax rate as a reward for giving their residents back tax money via services."

So it's bad that these states are providing services for their residents in exchange for tax funds?

I don't understand any of your points here. These states consume less federal aid (yay!) but have higher state taxes (boo!) but provide more services (yay!) but those services "only" benefit locals (boo?). So they're paying less in taxes, because they're instead focused on taking care of their own.

Is this just a really weird "Only Federalism" argument? I mean, I'm fine with this proposal if we stripe away all states and just act as a single unified country, where everyone has to play by the same rules but good luck getting Delaware and Mississippi agreeing to that one.

I think you should really commit to your handle and just stay out of this whole argument. You don't seem to be making any kind of point other than "Rich states aren't doing enough to pull up poor states" which is a pretty hard sell.

> Why should federal taxes take priority over state? If the state is able to successfully tax its citizens and keep things closer to home—ultimately needing less support from the federal government—shouldn’t that be a good thing?

I'm not sure i'd say that they should take priority per se, but they shouldn't funge against each other, and the federal government was there first, in the case of income.

Under the old system, if a state introduced an income tax, that would proportionally decrease the federal government's revenue collection from their tax base. That's not a very good system. If a state wants to tax, they should tax, but that shouldn't then reduce the federal government's ability to collect taxes from those same people.
And I get it. You've spent decades and $1000s acquiring HAM equipment, learning the craft, just so you can DX some guy in Kazahkstan.

I’d also be curious how it impacts fundraising - places like Orange County were major Republican resource pools even if they couldn’t carry the entire state. People don’t need to stop voting for their party just to write fewer checks if they’re feeling neglected.

The underlying theory is that the corporation generating those gains or dividends was already taxed on that income before distribution.

Most economists love the idea of a 0% corporate income tax, which would likely be paired with LTCG going to the earned income rate. Unfortunately it sounds too much like a "handout" to be politically viable.

Sure, but for a car your cost of ownership is affected by the resale price. If that drops $30k overnight the car suddenly becomes much more expensive to own.

The SALT deduction only helped people who itemize, so it was primarily high earners who benefited. Furthermore, a deduction on property taxes helps people with high property taxes, so the biggest benefit goes to people with high property values in wealthy communities. So the SALT deduction made funding public schools and maintaining schools less burdensome...in wealthy areas, but did nothing for the poorest communities.

Of course the GOP supported it because it helped their constituents at the expense of blue states, but on the other hand...why do you think Democrats were so opposed to removing a deduction that benefited the haves over the have-nots?
This made me wonder what the top speed of my current car is (a very modest Škoda Yeti) and it is 111mph :-)
> "pulling themselves up by their bootstraps" (by the way, isn't that meant to be an ironic paradox?).

Cracks me up every time. It most certainly is.

The few people who I know have "pulled themselves up by the bootstraps" in the proverbial sense, almost never use such dismissive terminology.
Not the parent, but at least for me my ebook collection is far less likely to be irretrievably lost than my physical library. I keep important data like photos, documents, and books backed up in multiple places, including off-site. So if my house burns down or floods, my physical library will be irretrievably destroyed, while I will still be able to access my digital library.
I do a fair amount with SBCs for my home automation, and various projects (always flashed with Dietpi where possible). I've got Raspberry Pis, NanoPi Neos, Odroids, and the one regretful purchase, a Rock64 by Pine.

The hardware support was abysmal from day one; the only recourse was a message board where suggestions from the makers included using a magnifying glass to look for bad surface mount welds on resistors.

Dietpi later came out with an image for the Rock64 (those folks really walk on water in my eyes), which has saved my Rock from the bin (all the officially supported linux builds were rife with crashes), and I'm currently using it as a massively overpowered nginx server (because I don't trust the hardware for anything else at this point).

tl;dr - I would not buy something from Pine64 again.
Lack of shadows, geometric shapes in brilliant colours (some of which look bidimensional, like the red vertical strip on the windshield), a hint of triangular patterns at the top right. It definitely gives that feeling.

Our company actually has a really good view into where robocalls are coming from and what they are doing because we own a tremendous amount of phone numbers in the US (100s of thousands - millions at peak). We can basically see when this is happening and a robo-caller is targeting an area code, zip code, state, etc...

When we get called from a number we don't know we used to simply reject the call. Now, as of this week, we are publishing the metadata to a kafka topic so that we might be able to do some post-processing on these events which might help identify these robot callers earlier. We've already learned that the volume of robo-calls decreases dramatically on the weekends.

The hope is that we'd at the very least learn something about how they operate but at the very best possibly provide an api that allowed people to check if a number was currently considered a robo-caller or if their city, state, zip was currently under attack. That way, for example, the makers of robo-killer, etc... could provide better protection. Perhaps we could even create a live map of the attacks.

I'll follow up when we do and post something to HN.
And Howard Dean was a fairly soft-spoken politician until one particularly excited outburst at a single rally happened to have been captured on mic.

The "actual" frequency of the outbursts is somewhat secondary to the perception of frequency. Every time Linus writes a profanity-laced rant, even if it's email number 83/175 for the day, that particular piece is preserved, archived, and passed around the internet for giggles, further reinforcing whatever pre-existing conception the person referencing the email is arguing for.

I drive a Honda Fit. I don't think I have ever driven it over 85 miles per hour (137km/hr). I'm not comfortable driving faster than that.
What makes me mad is that my speedometer goes up to 140mph! Why?! The only answer I've ever seen that makes sense is that it's a marketing tool, but who honestly buys a Honda Fit and thinks to themselves "if this thing can't do 140 then forget it!"
The downside is that it's actually very hard for me to tell exactly how fast I'm going because in general I'm driving less than 60mph in my daily commute and yet that range is only 43% of my analog speedometer. I honestly wish it only went up to 100mph, then I'd be using 60% of the resolution of the dial. Instead I have no idea whether I'm going 35 or 40 unless I really stare at the thing :(
There are markets for cars that have higher speed limits. Or none at all
What the Republicans should have done was get rid of the federal income tax, have all taxes apportioned, and leave it to the states to decide how they wish to collect the revenue needed to pay the federal government.

It's roughly 180 km/h. Your assumption of a 70mph speed limit is based on the US, and it's incorrect. Portions of highways in the US have 85mph speed limits (i70 on the eastern part of Utah comes to mind).

I thought everyone wanted the rich to pay their fair share? This change mostly affects the rich, it's even in the title of TFA. It's where the richest in the country live that is most affected.

Voicemails are still annoying, I have a red alert badge on the home screen and have to go in, check that it's not real, and delete it.

Would love to be able to junk filter incoming voicemail based on the transcript. Anything with "card services calling about your credit card account" or "qualify for a medical grade back or knee brace" goes straight to trash.

Of course that only works for a few months until scammers adapt and somehow make their calls less understandable to the speech to text or vary up their script more often, but we fought the same battle with email and seem to have done pretty well. Couldn't say when the last time I got a spam email in my inbox was.
Here's how to actually "solve" this problem on an iPhone:

- Pay $1.99 to buy a silent ringtone from the ringtone store.

- Make that your default ringtone.

- Give everyone who you want to be able to call you an audible ringtone.
>While this is definitely true, as someone who also lives in a high tax state and is impacted by this change, it is the policy-wise correct way to do taxation.

Given the amount of federal spending that is just grant money to states for things (not to mention the history of the US as a loose association of strongly governed states under a weak(er) federal government), I'm not sure I agree with this.

If CA or NY lowered their taxes, they'd end up getting back a significant amount of the difference as increased federal grant money to the state. That's what happens in many lower tax states right now! By removing SALT, you change the calculation in a different way. CA doesn't need the money, so the government can spend it elsewhere. Its a different thing.
