>On the flip side though, after my 15 year mortgage is up I'm not going to pay another dime outside of maintenance on this thing.

You'll have property taxes as well, which could be meaningful depending where you live. I was talking to one of my neighbors the other day who has lived in his home here in Seattle for over 40 years and he told me he is taking out a equity line of credit against his fully owned home to pay the property taxes as they've increased beyond what his retirement income can cover.

Once the home gets older you get into more than just maintenance as well; you get into replacement. Replacing the appliances, roof, windows, mechanicals, etc can be lead to some very serious expenses. The same neighbor needs to replace his roof, which he also can't afford until he gets the credit line.
In general the people being lead do realize they have a good leader/manager after some time, even if they tend to underestimate the effort needed to provide that level of leadership.

I was that guy that had a great manager in the beginning of my career for 2 years. At the time I was thinking he's a good guy but not great. Only later (+5 years) did I realize what a great manager he was and what an impact he actually had on my career.

But you're right, the biggest risk I've seen for this kind of leader is how upper management perceives you.
Not a huge risk though, as in most companies upper management ranks leaders/managers like this:

1. people obey and acclaim him -> best leader

2. people barely know that he exists, but good things just seem to happen in his teams -> ok leader. "He's lucky to have a great team" - Average Joe CEO

3. people despise him -> bad leader

Instead, if your company ranks 2-1-3 then you're lucky to be working for a great company, but if your company ranks 1-3-2 then run for the hills.

From what I've seen number 2 gives the best results overall with very positive long-term effects on the team, but it takes another good manager to recognize and appreciate that. So you might end up frustrated if you're expecting recognition and accolades from someone like Average Joe CEO that I quoted above.

In the wild I think a continuous balancing act between 1 & 2 works best. You're probably a saint if you can pull number 2 all the time while also keeping your sanity. :)
> Tesla emphasizes that “in both of these scenarios until truly driverless cars are validated and approved by regulators, drivers are responsible for and must remain ready to take manual control of their car at all times.”

So, tesla/elon are officially thankful for regulation prevent themselves from screwing up worse than they are already?
We really need some stronger regulation on renting.

I'd like something along the lines of federal rent control. Limit the rent that can be charged to reduce the profitability of buying up house after house. This would be unpopular with the current owners of homes as it would lower property values, but over time they would remain much more stable.
And you're spending most of your money fixing all the expensive computers and sensors in your car instead of cleaning dirty fuel injectors and the like.
Well the whole point of this is that someone was suggesting examples of good English, someone balked at the idea that British English should be considered "proper" and I suggested that this wasn't the intended point point and added that even supposedly highly regarded accents of British English might not be considered proper by someone from that same country. I don't think it's helpful in this context to shrug your shoulders and say that English is evolving so there's no good or bad examples of pronunciation.

As to why these sound wrong to me, I'm from an area that is looked down on accent-wise and is sort of the subject of ridicule (usually just for fun). Since I moved abroad and mix in pretty multi-cultural circles I've seen first-hand what non-native-English speakers have trouble understanding when they talk to an English-native speaker, and I've often reflected on what caused this. One thing that surprised me was how easily my fellow Scots have been understood and how much difficulty people had understanding the English, since I was always led to believe that we are the ones who talk incorrectly. And it was this that made me realise how their pronunciation can stray far from the supposedly correct one - I gave a couple of examples to demonstrate this. There are plenty more if you listen carefully. The "how do you pronounce..." part of the NY Times British & Irish accent quiz was really quite good at illustrating this: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/02/15/upshot/britis... (door/poor, farm/palm, horse/hoarse from there are nice examples).

So yeh sure, nothing is "wrong" in English and all that - there's no central authority that should dictate this. But when it comes to accents and clarity not all is as it might seem at first blush.

Landlords absolutely incorporate home repair costs into rent. I'm shocked at the number of people who assume that landlords just eat the cost of maintenance. Just because you aren't forking over the money directly to the repairman doesn't mean you aren't paying.

> In a place I worked, if someone left at 5:30 pm, the CTO used to joke "half day today?", even though the person came in at 9 am.

In both the places I've worked, it's a common joke anyone says when somebody leaves. everybody laughs and nobody gets offended. It doesn't mean anything.

+1, my annual SF earthquake insurance premium is 0.06% of the appraised value of the house. It's not even worth mentioning in adding up the total cost of ownership.
The comment above is a little bit of a stretch (I'm not sure I'd equate working more to toxic masculinity exactly), but this isn't about being a man: the CTO may have been female, that in itself wouldn't invalidate the comment.

Masculinity in this context is about gendered behaviours (behaviours traditionally expected of men). Toxic masculinity is any such behaviours that have a negative impact on the subject, those around them, or society. Women can also contribute to toxic masculinity.

In fact, within certain corporate cultures, where promotions have traditionally been awarded to men, it may benefit women's careers to adopt such toxic behaviours.

> I have found myself tending more and more towards a style where I break even some relatively small modules up into fairly small pieces, and I have very, very clearly specified definitions for "what this module consumes" and "what this module provides".

I have found this exact thing to be a very natural fit for functional programming. Which is also why I switched from Ruby (where I was already starting to write in a functional style anyway, for these exact reasons) to Elixir (which basically tries very hard to prevent you from writing in a non-functional style while also giving you guarantees that are simply not available in a mutable procedural/OOP language).

The vast majority of application code can be rewritten in such a way that it takes some struct or data, and spits out some struct or data, and has no other side effects (which include mutating the structs or data originally given to it). You can confine the side-effecting code to its own interface code... a principle embraced by https://blog.ndepend.com/hexagonal-architecture/ (also a natural fit for functional languages, but can also be utilized in OOP)

The advantages of this design end up being numerous: easier unit-testability, easier reasonability, easier maintainability, fewer dependencies, fewer bugs generated.

I also tend to share this phlegmatic approach to opinions. I can't remember the last time I felt offended because of one. It certainly helps with the blood pressure.

That said, my original point before I got lost in the details is just that I found it intriguing that you expected antinatalism to be so neutral a statement that it shouldn't warrant a response from others.

>The world is full of people with opinions that disagree with those you may hold closest. On a basic level, I don't understand why you'd be offended by someone else's opinion as long as they're not forcing it upon you/being a dick about it.

On a more complex level, the "you do you" approach is a denial of choice. Since the status quo is a certain way, and has certain consequences, then passiveness is in fact a deliberate and non-neutral action. That's not to say that you should conspire to offend and feel offended at every turn, just that moral relativism as a way of evading the responsibilities of free will is a fantasy.

To give an extreme example to illustrate this, let's say we replace the word circumcision above with a far graver issue: "Slavery, in my opinion, is a barbaric and silly practice, but why should that matter to you if you chose to sell your kid into slavery? You're you, and I'm me. We can think about things differently."

I'm not sure how consistent it is with everything in Ruby, but parameters is technically the correct term here. A parameter is a variable definition, while an argument is the value that is passed to the parameter.

ArgumentError is still consistent with this definition (it's an error with the value you passed, not with the definition). However, params in a Rails controller does violate this definition.
My view is you define methods with parameters, you call methods with arguments.

`ArgumentError` is consistent with an error during call time.

Incorporation is granted by the state. While it wouldn't be popular the government could very likely give people the right to take ownership in a corporation without too much technical problems. It is a matter of how you want to structure employment. There is nothing really saying that salary has to be the only required compensation.
I believe that in the context of small communities, programs for the less fortunate can work very well. Mostly because the resources are attached to something/someone they know and they would feel to social pressure not to abuse those resources.

For instance, I'm not a religious person but that's one of the true virtues of a religious community. Giving to the less fortunate but you feel the pressure to do good with it, and you're expected to give back when you have the means to. If you abused that generosity, it would become apparent fast and your community would cut you off.

When you do this at a national level though, the tragedy of the commons come into play and no one cares who the money is coming from so long as they get it. There is very little social pressure not to game the system at that point.

I don't pretend to have a complete solution for all of these problems, I just think giving everyone a blank check each month is just adding more fuel to the fire.
Apple and Amazon recently came to similar terms on search inside of Amazon- they cut out 3rd party non-Apple approved resellers from selling on their platform, so there is pretty direct precedent for Apple pushing for similar agreements:

Hey folks, I'm the primary maintainer of Gryphon. The backstory here is: I was one of the founders of Tinker, the trading company that built Gryphon as our in-house trading infrastructure. We operated 2014-18, starting with just a simple arbitrage bot, and slowly grew the operation until our trades were peaking above 20% of daily trading volume on the big exchanges.

The company has since wound down (founders moved on to other projects), but I always thought the code deserved to be shared, so we've open sourced it. Someone trying to do what we did will probably save 1.5 years of engineering effort if they build on Gryphon vs. make their own. As far as I know there isn't anything out there like this, in any market (not just cryptocurrencies).

On a super pedantic level, "parameters" are the names that you write in the function definition, and "arguments" are the values you pass as parameters.

def name_length(person)

steve = Person.new
name_length(steve)

Here, 'person' is a parameter, and 'steve' is an argument.

Most programmers use them interchangeably.

From what I've seen, the assumptions tend to dominate this discussion. I'm absolutely cherry-picking to make a point, but if you took your down payment in 1965, thinking the market looks pretty darn good, and put it into a DJIA index fund while you rented, about 30 years later, your investment would finally be worth again what you put in [1], while the person who bought the house would have some sort of equity in it.

To cherry-pick in the other direction, if you could either buy or rent starting in 1980 or so, in 30 years you'd see ~7x return (no inflation adjustment). There are homes you could buy in 1980 that would exceed that, but not very many places, and it's tricky to know what those are without hindsight. (Investing is pretty easy in hindsight, in general.)

To the extent that the stock market is modeled by an exponential curve, it has deviations from that curve on the order of your entire working lifespan.

Discussions about the utility of the stock market for retirement revolve around you investing in it continuously. In that chart, even though a point investment in 1960 may not turn out well, the money someone is putting in every year will start to do pretty well in the 1980s. The analysis around buying in a bit every year is different, but in the previous paragraphs, I'm talking about a point-in-time investment of a particular sum, so we can just follow the chart across. If you can finagle a rent that is significant lower than a mortgage, then you can also include in your model putting that difference into the market. (Though, for that to be "valid", note you actually have to, you know, do that.) But while rents and mortgages tend to be close to each other for various reasons, at different times and places they trade off which is more expensive, so that's not an assumption you're justified with in the general case.

So if you've got a mortgage cheaper than rent in 1960, you're going to pretty handily beat the guy investing in 1960 for quite a span of time. If you can get rent cheaper than a mortgage in 1980, and invest the difference over time as well, you're going to handily beat the guy buying the house.

What about if you buy a house, say, right now? Well... that's the million dollar question, isn't it?

Sony cameras are pretty good…

Japanese companies tend to accept a lot of complexity and also love paranoid bureaucratic form UIs. There might be one page of fields, then a second page to show you them over again to check for typos, then a third page of disclaimers to shame you in case you still made a mistake… because they're not going to refund you.

Sony's pretty good about this actually, but buying anything on the Nintendo shop takes 5+ clicks even if you saved your credit card.

That analysis is overly simplified for a number of reasons, two of the big ones are 1) You often aren't comparing the same properties and 2) while it's true that you are potentially indirectly paying a mortgage, it doesn't have the same terms as what you could negotiate yourself for buying the same property today.

These and other reasons contribute to why rental costs and TCO for residential properties are not in lock-step.

So the real answer is (unsurprisingly) "it depends". Sometimes you are better off financially to rent, sometimes to buy - very dependent on location, dwelling needs, frequency of moving, etc. In the USA the balance is often tipped towards buying by tax incentives, which are politically if not economically popular.
Could also just be competition. The thing about arbitrage opportunities is that they're usually arbitraged out of existence once enough people become aware of them. All it takes is one faster arbitrage bot front-running you and you won't see any more arbitrage opportunities.

Not sure this statements holds in this general form - it's a very good idea to be cautious what you execute, but curl | sh is not much different from running npx for example. It's difficult to know know what will actually be executed on your machine, but at least shell scripts can be inspected/audited (as compared to packages with 100 dependencies).

That said, prior to piping anything to a shell it's advisable to inspect what is about to be executed. That's why the lama.sh script is super simple, as is the code of the web server it downloads and executes.
To be fair to the US, it is the same in many other countries too.
