In a word, yes, but oftentimes the factors you mention either break-even between renting and owning, or tilt the table in favor of owning, on a long enough time horizon. This is especially true if you're a high-income employee with a lot to gain from itemized deductions.

Interest in most loans is front-loaded (i.e. your payments are mostly "interest" rather than equity in the earlier parts of the loan), and you can write off payments towards mortgage interest on your taxes in the US. So, while interest is technically opex, the government currently allows you to treat it as capex, tax-wise, because they want to subsidize home ownership. If you aren't in a top income bracket, this won't affect you much.

Other costs are tricky because, in competitive markets at least, taxes and maintenance cost are usually priced into your rent, so you're usually paying them whether or not you own your home.

The big difference is that when you own the home, the taxes and maintenance costs arrive all-at-once (when your home floods, or the boiler falls apart), rather than amortized over years of residency. That's why mortgages are almost always "cheaper" per-month than rentals: rentals price these costs in, mortgages do not. If you have a good chunk of liquid savings and can afford good insurance, exposing yourself to occasional all-at-once payments are not very risky.

Also, you can eventually and typically write off big expenses (if you rent out part of your home, or sell it later and keep good records). https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/what-home-improvemen...

I've been a line cook, restaurant owners are absolutely untrustworthy and hostile. The food industry is one where exploitation, highly aggressive staff retention practices (making employees dependent on you for a visa, threatening to spread lies about you, etc.), crazy unhealthy hours and just a generally awful culture are standard.
Congrats on the launch, would provide feedback after some time using the app, but so far everything looks great.
Drab gray boxes may not be as 'engaging' or 'visually rich' but they are more accessible and usable. You know what's interactive, what components relate to what and how they affect the application.

The slack UI is a counter-example of a good UI. It's confusing, it's unpredictable, it's inaccessible. They made the application look like a fancy website instead of an application. That's a bad thing, not a good thing. There should be no attempt to replicate it. Using it as a benchmark to evaluate how flexible a UI framework is a non-starter.

It's an extension of the "butts in chairs" management style that's all over in America. When the managers are unable to actually measure output due to incompetence + lacking the ability to do the same job as their subordinates this is one of the few levers they get to pull. It's a management style of fear and dissonance where the workers are constantly being judged not based on merit, but on useless metrics and butt kissing...

In contrast - I've worked for managers that could care less about "butts in chairs" and are much more concerned with output/quality... this means they have to be actually productive/knowledgeable in my field which typically is an exception - especially for larger corps. I personally find my mental state is so much better and my output is magnitudes greater when working with this management style!

The other thing that's great about output based managers is that the bad-to-mediocre talent/work ethic folks get weeded out ASAP because it's apparent who can't cut it vs. higher output workers. "Butts in chairs" workers are good at gaming the optics + politics regardless if it's surveillance software or someone complaining about being in the office for X hours a day/week.

All-in-all I agree with your statement.

Deaths / known case is mostly useless though, and the differences between two countries doesn't say anything about the relevance of hospital overruns because nobody has really suffered from that.

I'm surprised that pattern is still being used so much. I implemented it on a site once and regretted it. Went back to email only.

What happens with multiple login choices is people forget what service they used, or end up accidentally creating another account (if it couldn't be auto-linked), or delete their fb/twitter/whatever and then lose access to things they didn't intend. Or get banned and forcibly lose access.

It also means you're relying on more 3rd party dependencies. And having the overheard of managing those, keeping updated with API/policy changes.

It's one of those things that seems simpler at first, but ends up being more complicated on both sides.

I entirely disagree with the notion that Windows is strongest in SMB. Active Directory + GPO + various third-party device management stuff, plus the depth of Office-related integrations, and Microsoft's absolutely massive track record for supporting all kinds of uses, put Windows way ahead for large-scale compliance and auditing.

On the side of deploying and managing workstations, I would take Windows every single time over MacOS or Linux. For real, some combination of Apple Business Manager and JAMF is supposed to go head-to-head against AD+GPO? On Linux--Centrify, or something from Red Hat, that might well be more costly than Windows licenses (guessing here)?

Yes, of course, putting something like that on a personal machine is odious.

But how do you tell if that or something like it is on your work machine? Look for "hubstaff.dll"? ... half kidding, but seriously how do you tell if there's corporate fuckery on your work machine (eg screenshotting, logging time on URLs, keylogging, etc etc)?
Erlang VM startup time is not great (in order of hundred milliseconds), but it has pretty unique features like hot bytecode patching in a running VM.

The code from the article misses an important thing w.r.t. security - user namespaces, which can be used to map container UIDs to a subset of host UIDs and container root to non-root user. But it is a namespace that is more complicated to configure than others.
Big caution here. Do NOT use this style of code to invoke ip tools. This was the cause of a huge number of security vulnerabilities on Android in the first few years. Even if you're hardcoding interfaces to start, it's likely someone else will drive by later on and replace one of the args with %s.

100%. As a manager when we were still in a physical office, I encouraged small group lunches, coffee outings, walks to a nearby dog park, etc. Way too much company socializing still centers on alcohol.

I actually had to push back on our in-office boozy happy hours because a few team members were getting too drunk and it was making other people uncomfortable. My boss didn't think it'd seem "cool" if we put together a policy for how these happy hours should be handled. I don't work there anymore. :)

Huh, that's odd—it's absolutely programmed to look at city and state individually. I had to interface with that code in my version.

When I type Minneapolis into my version, it correctly displays both cities (alongside Minneapolis, NC) the drop-down, and lets me choose between them. I would have expected the original to do the same thing, but I obviously can't check now.

Eclipse Foundation is a lot more than just Eclipse the IDE.

For example, both Chromium and AOSP use Gerrit for code review, and JGit, an Eclipse project, is a key dependency of Gerrit. So everyone working with AOSP and Chromium day-to-day have to (indirectly) work with Eclipse Foundation projects.
I'd sure hope so if iOS and Android are on the list.

Big “if”. There has never, in thirty years, been a Linux that lacked a user-to-root privilege escalation path. Running untrusted code in containers is the same as it’s ever been: totally unsafe. VMs are safer, or, minimally, ptrace sandboxes intercepting all syscalls.
The quantity of a particular species in an ecosystem has an equilibrium point. The optimal amount of a particular species is a number.
If there's no death, this number will be pushed out of equilibrium, and the given species isn't dedicating its niche in the ecosystem to the most superior 'version' of itself, therefore not investing the niche resources in the best bet of progressing the species.

Yeah, I can't help but detect some wishful thinking on the part of the author. If you're asserting some principle, there ought to be an objective way to validate it - so, how do you know? If it's really true that "the best people will always leave", they'll leave the next employer after they left you. So, the best people are definitionally the people who never keep any job for any appreciable amount of time? How could you possibly measure their contribution anywhere?
UWP are an interesting example. They are the most 'native' (at least looking) kind of application on windows 10 but I realize they aren't using win32 (which I think is what we both mean when we refer to native). Regardless, UWP are terrible; they are very hard to use and look awful, if not flat and uncluttered.

Office is a bad example as well; that team is notorious for choosing new/different interface controls just to be different. They try to back it up with studies but the studies are flawed. Accordion and Ribbon come to mind, as does the silly fake shadow they had a few years ago.

Still to this day, the drab boring win32 applications are the best performing and easiest to use.

You're a private landlord, but not for the money? I don't think I've heard of that before. What do you get out of it instead? You actually enjoy the process?

I haven't been a landlord, but I worked for one doing the things he would have had to do if he couldn't afford to pay me to do it. Repair, maintenance, sales, evictions. I can't imagine doing that stuff for pleasure, but it takes all kinds.
I’m not OP, but I’m willing to claim that there are going to be at least an order of magnitude more reported security vulnerabilities due to overly complex crypto-stacks than there are going to be reported successful internet-scale MITM-attacks.

For many things crypto itself is going to be a bigger security-risk than what it’s defending against.

Lore from an old company of mine says that we had the opposite of this happen. We had an opportunity to expand from the US into China. So a dedicated team spent months localizing our English-only software into Chinese.

Our sales people traveled to a key meeting with execs at the Asian division of a multinational corporation (the potential customer). They did a big demo to show the software working in Chinese, hoping to impress the execs with how the software was ready to go.

The execs awkwardly said essentially, "Hey, that is probably great, but even though we handle the Chinese market, we don't speak Chinese; it's only our customers that do. So we couldn't tell what your software does, and we wouldn't be able to use this. Do you have an English version?"

While you're experiencing that financial anxiety/risk, it's fractal and hitting everyone to different degrees. For people who can order from their favorite restaurants, coffee shops, etc, they should be encouraged.

For the buyer, it makes them feel good supporting their local economy instead of just Amazon. For the small business owner, it increases the odds that they'll make it. For the employee, a more stable job/employer reduces their financial anxiety/risk aka fear in that area.

A good chunk of the economy is based on confidence. Ordering from restaurants doesn't solve problems directly but may give people a fighting chance.

And I'm sorry for your shitty landlord. I hope karma, your lawyer, and the law hammer him.

All employers will value the enterprise over any one of their employees individually. When is the last time you saw an employer shutter their business but continue paying their employees? It isn't that they aren't trustworthy, it is that it is a mistake to trust your employer to act in your best interest. As an example you yourself bring up, think of all the restaurants that only function because they pay their employees peanuts and give them unstable hours.

The crux of your argument seems to be that property grows in value because there's not enough housing, which seems like a reasonable assumption but is just that.

Property grows in value because of its proximity to other things of value, not because of the amount of it on the market. If you were to expand the size of NYC to encompass the entirety of New York, housing inside of NYC is going to be vastly more valuable than housing located on the edges of the state.

No amount of construction you do is going to devalue that property, and often you can't build upwards because of the rich property owners (see: NIMBY) choosing to use their financial leverage and property ownership to deny that.
