> I don’t like that other people get to determine how much of the capital I pull in gets to be mine after all.

Let me paraphrase Adam Gopnik's recent book, "A Thousand Small Sanities: The Moral Adventure of Liberalism": When you talk about "the capital I pull in," you're risking celebrating the driver while taking cars, roads, and gasoline for granted. [0]

See also Elizabeth Warren's famous talk in her first Senate campaign: "There is nobody in this country who got rich on their own. Nobody. You built a factory out there - good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory... Now look. You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea - God bless! Keep a hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.” [1]

And of course Barack Obama's correct statement, intentionally taken out of context by the right: "You didn't build that" (referring to the roads and bridges that businesses depend on). [2]

Reading the info in this I had the thought that I’d love to get a report like this when considering a company or a specific team within a company. A subset of the questions would really help me assess fit quite quickly.

Has anyone talked about this or even tried to have this become a thing?

The alternative is having to tease this out during the ‘question time’ of interviews, or in rare circumstances having prior knowledge of the people you’ll be working with.

> If they were like business expenses people would try to minimise them,

Perhaps in some cases, but many companies I know have "spend it or lose it" policies wrt budgets, so often money gets spent just to justify being able to spend more next year. And I've worked with a couple small companies that tried to spend more (legitimately) to try to avoid having as much profit to pay tax on. So not every business tries to minimize cost (or not as efficiently as you might assume).
I think this explanation works quite well: https://www.c64-wiki.com/wiki/Machine_Code_Monitor

> Half of engineers prefer to work at a company that does pair programming

Well, I’m glad that it’s only half. Isn’t that neat?

I wish this meme of “company that does pair programming” would die a slow and agonizing death. Not everyone’s brain is wired for pair programming. I do plenty of presenting at work, where I share my screen and write code, Twitch-style, for an audience of coworkers. I do this in order to convey material to a captive audience, not as a baseline method of doing work. “Teaching” and “programming” are two non-overlapping activities for me, as the communications aspect tends to overtake most of my mental capacity, leaving only a precious few cycles for problem solving and creativity.

Any company that considers itself special enough to change how people work is not only delusional, but will also burn through good people who are neurologically different from the type that enjoys pair programming.

In short, flexibility is the name of the game.
That still happens. The top 5 players make $30m-$40m, but they’d probably make closer to $50m+ in an open market. After all, the best players still get multiple teams trying to get them on max contracts.

The current effect of the cap is mostly to redistribute some of that money to top 10-30 players who also get max contracts even as everyone knows they are not quite as good.

There are also competitiveness reasons to avoid true maxes like parity between the teams of relatively rich and poor/thrifty owners. But yeah the union does depress the salaries of the very best.
There's probably a very big difference between "industry standard" and working with a new language at a startup where a lot of things are written from scratch in a short amount of time. 50 lines of code on average for a year won't get you very far if you work on greenfield project.

The industry standard is probably very heavily biased by big corporate code bases where refactoring / architecture takes a lot more time than implementing the actual changes afterwards. Doesn't seem like a very useful calculation you are trying to do there to proof the previous poster wrong.

> A CEO being paid obscenely has absolutely no impact on the middle class, it just makes a nice boogeyman for politicians.

Except that envy is part of the human condition, and arguably, a key component of human progress. Left unchecked, though, envy can lead to social instability. See, e.g., Kahneman and Tversky's work about how people are willing to incur harm to themselves to punish what they perceive as unfairness (sorry, no time to get the cite). So arranging our societal structures to keep envy in check might be necessary, even if it means giving some high earners a haircut on their income.
I'm sure Debian has reasons for doing it that way but the undeniable consequence is that they made a decision that resulted in more complicated package updates.

I'm used to Arch Linux where, for the most part, you can just download a PKGBUILD, increment the version number and you're done. Have a look at Arch [0] vs. Debian [1]. Arch's package specification just tells the build tools where to get the code and how to build it. Debian's includes all the code so the repository has to be updated first (which I tried, resulting in merge conflicts).

Perhaps this approach has advantages (like not relying on the third party code hosting) but it also comes with disadvantages.

I have no ill feelings towards the Debian project or its contributors but they are responsible for the choice that led to the issue I have, so I feel it's entirely reasonable to "blame" them (I don't feel that's the right word, they just made a tradeoff that is inconvenient to me but might make sense to them).

People (not on HN etc.) will happily buy plane tickets on sale that happen to be flights on the 737 MAX once it is certified again.

I still think the general public trusts the certification to be done right and that the plane will only be allowed to fly when experts agree it is safe.

Which is why the stink from pilots and devs with experience from building similar systems is so important.
Your article talks about 16k condos over 6y, which is ~3k/y. That's not zero, but that's really not very much housing compared to the ~8M population of NYC. I know this isn't the total of New York housing construction, but it's so little you wouldn't expect it to help much.

For example, during the 1920s NYC was building housing at about 7%/y! Housing was much cheaper then, and through the period of low demand, but when demand picked up again we didn't let people resume building at anywhere near historical rates.
On the other hand it's possible to use Syscalls on macOS or Linux to try out new low level functions, since these tend to be documented quite well unlike on Windows. For instance copy-on-write or ptrace to alter/inspect low-level calls.

I used to work at bank too without admin rights. Anaconda has a portable version which can be installed to My Documents folder(if space permits) without need for admin rights. This comes with lots of apps for you to tinker with. Python, numpy, pandas, flask, sqlalchemy and many more.

EDIT: One of my quants did such a great job with Jupiter notebook and anaconda that it is now added to the official list of softwares that we can request for installation.
But this is a problem Rust creates for itself. HTTP is safely implementable in most modern languages without any unsafe code because they're all garbage collected. For instance, Java has a mechanism also called Unsafe that lets you bypass the language's safety features, but I've never encountered an HTTP client that uses it because performance is fine without that. And the JVM developers have been working for years on safe but performant constructs that can replace the uses of Unsafe that do exist in the community, mostly, cases where very precise control over memory and concurrency constructs are needed in high performance servers.
If you like tinkering, look into Zigbee2mqtt (=software). It supports loads of Zigbee devices so you can mix various devices together. Everything you need to do is pretty well explained.

IMO home automation is currently anything but smart. It's fun if you like to tinker with things. That'll allow you to get great results. It's still too cumbersome though for non technical family members. Everything needs to be made easier by several factors.

I was a bit shocked by these answers:

"What’s your 10-year goal?
- 36% just want to continue building cool things
- 23% want to become a technology leader (SVP, CTO)
- 19% want to start their own company
- 15% want to be a product leader
- 8% want to be able to retire"

Only 19% want to start their own company in 10 years??

A few years ago when I was working in a big bank, I had the impression that about 70% of my co-workers wanted to create their own company and 30% wanted to become managers.

People may buy discounted plane tickets but most will not trust the certification, in my opinion. I'm avoiding any new boeing planes for my next flight
This is more and more starting to smell a bit like this is the first time in a while when somebody is actually looking whether a plane fulfills the regulations. Just wonder if FAA & co should actually audit some other models as well with same level of scrutiny? And by all means not just Boeing.
This. As a physics person turned machine learner, I've noticed the same thing. It's a lot easier getting funding and contracts from the DoD etc. as an academic then it would be to get into Lockheed or whatever.

That's a problem for businesses that buy up land and build more luxury housing than there is demand for. It isn't a problem for society unless we decide to prop up their harmful business model. So what if their properties go down in value and they can't finance them? Why should we care?

If they can't finance the housing, it can go through the normal foreclosure and public sale process and a bunch of high-quality, inexpensive housing will enter the market. The housing market would be fulfilling it's entire reason for existence: to provide housing. That's exactly what I would love to see happen.

We as a society need to stop propping up harmful business models like this. If property values readjust and they go bankrupt: good. Americans aren't dumb or lazy: we'll come up with other business models that aren't so destructive.

We cannot continue to claim that unfettered capitalism will solve all problems when it clearly is causing some of them, like skyrocketing rents and homelessness. These are actually not difficult problems if we are willing to regulate and tax to fund the solutions.
The fact that you used Native Americans in your example is not the best support for your argument that it's not a fools errand to trust the government.

The difference between who you're being made 'safe' from and who is being repressed is merely a labeling issue, and its the same forces that do the repression that keep the safety.

You could be the one being protected one one day, then the next day, you're the 'Native American' and the one others need safety from, because a label changed.

IMO, apply a flat 1% property tax on the value of a property ignoring zoning restrictions and as long as you pay it feel free. However, understand that tax actually represents paying for physical infrastructure and actual costs people are paying so nobody gets a tax break on it.

Because what’s valuable is not the house but the infrastructure around it. Low density housing requires more infrastructure and higher transportation costs such as longer commutes.

However, I realize everyone loves a hand out, especially when they can pretend it’s not a handout. So, I don’t see this changing any time soon.
But do they if it’s not a scary camera but a doorbell instead?

are we sure it won't? and whether the goal is to lift anyone from poverty (not sure that's a stated goal), perhaps it may force companies to look for other ways to spend their money.

> But if the tax structure weighted properly on by land, you would most likely pay as much as rent being a homeowner.

Huh? So the rent covers the infrastructure cost? Last time I checked, both renters and owners pay infrastructure directly. That includes waste water, garbage disposal, and pretty much everything else. None of this scales with the space I use, at most it scales with the square root of space due to larger distances.
i never said i "like doing that", I said "it is possible". You chose this hill to die on, don't ask me why. What did you expect, a serious defense of the theory of sixth grader god?

This is unfortunate.

I am amazed that along every step of the way, Boeing appears to be shooting itself in the foot.

Having worked in this industry (although not on airplane software), this seems to be a big management and cultural problem with Boeing. It was apparent in other programs and the decisions that the higher ups made.
One of the best work experiences has been working with embedded HW engineers whose skill set slightly overlapped mine (and vice versa). You learn from each other via constructive, lively discussion. No dogma involved.

Reduce the slight overlapping of skills, and you get one side ridiculing the other from their high horse of second order ignorance.
Also no historical context for figures. Seeing the change from last year tells us nothing about anything without knowing how that change compares to previous deltas.
I'm not sure I follow, typical gitlab ci runs in the branch? So there's eg a .gitlab-ci.yml and a ./Dockerfile in branch "new-feature", and one in "old-story".

They would both run OK in your scenario. If "new-feature" is merged first, "old-branch" would have to merge with (new) master and fix ci before being able to pass ci and be allowedtto merge?

at least here in europe, the real talent (as opposed to business-people) in my experience doesn't care a lot (why should you, if you're a workaholic) about where they work, except that I know a lot of people who don't want to move a lot. What's happening instead is Google importing a 1000 employees, paying them half of SoCal (but still double the rate of local companies in the past - thougbhthe profit/employee wage ratio is probably similar, so....) and the admin-people cheer because it's such a nice cheap city. Students and service workers are less convinced about that idea of "we need this good jobs".

I'm also courious who owns the land, if we are not doing private, individual ownership. What's the argument for having a (privately-owned) company own the land instead of just leasing it from the government for some dozen years and developing it? I agree that the current market-based, everyone own a home approach is really inefficient, but to reintroduce surveillance capitalistic serfdom (serve your masters, because they own everything) seems like the wrong way to go...

EDIT: well, spent the hungover morning researching Google comp and if glassdoor & linkedin are correct, they actually pay a quite normal salary for basic SWEs, which also explains why they like to import a lot of people and none of the locals I know work there...
