because you are looking at it from a punishment, and read that would I would all crimes to be capital punishment.

In reality I oppose capital punishment at all, as violence is only ethical in self defense.

This foundation is how I approach the law as well, as I believe a person does have the right to defend with lethal force someone from taking their property including their TV, I do not however believe that violence is ethical as punishment. There is a big difference between the 2

This is comes in to play as well when we talk about crimes and police responses, if you are not willing to have the police use Lethal Force to enforce a law, you likely should not be supporting that law.

I do support the police is using lethal force to stop Theft, and other property crimes. I do not support the police using lethal force to prevent a person from voluntarily consuming a substance of their own desire, or from growing a plant the government as deemed illegal.

Take for example the case of Eric Garner, he was accused of selling Cigarette's with out the proper taxes or regulations. I am sure many here support those regulations and taxes just simply believe he should not have been killed by the police. Where as I understand that any criminal law will be enforced with violence, as such I understand that every law has the potential to result in deadly force. So I oppose the very regulations that put both the police and Eric on a path to where they had to conflict with each other at all resulting in the loss of life
Thank you, I agree that this should be avoided as much as possible in general.

Actually, in my company, we are pushing the logs to an external service, so I guess that line I wrote there was not totally thought out. ;)

However, it still might be useful for certain people to check servers for health or other metrics and you might not always have everything as perfect as you wish.
I guess you already stated that yourself.

So in general I'd agree. Good comment!

Automakers will still market to where the dollars are: people who buy cars (17 million/year in the US, 60 million/year globally).

Outside of NYC, Chicago, and SF, there’s very little mass transit to speak of, even in urban areas. Texas and Florida have significant population centers where car ownership is required, and that’s where folks are moving to.
This is important and is largely what I wanted to add. At my company we have sales, who do the traditional listening to understand customer needs and working with them to build a deal that addresses those needs. But then we also have demand generation / sales development, focused on cold calling, getting leads, other marketing, etc, to get people through the door and you say. The OP needs to consider which of these (could be both) they want to build up their skills in. Reading about how to do sales will not help if you dont know how to get in front of people in the first place.
Agreed, and what you're saying is really the proper way do things in a cloud-native environment where all hosts are ephemeral, containerized apps are idempotent, and especially a serverless environment where no one has access to the invisible host.

However, for anything shy of full serverless, just s/developer/ops and you still have to solve for the same problem. At the end of the day you're always going to want someone to be able to get a shell on the box for troubleshooting some critical issue. If there is a box.

I used to work as a SW developer for an assembly line. Anecdotally, "my" "line workers" were very good at micro optimizations s.a where to place tools, when to duplicate stands, what order of operations makes more sense, alert when a material/part quantity drops.

I was occasionally replacing one of them to QA a SW tool, and was pretty slow and clumsy comparing to them.

I'd say overall their resourcefulness or "practical engineering" did some 1-5% impact on throughput.

> Congress has consistently cut funding for the IRS for years and years

I just want to clarify that de-funding the IRS doesn't have universal support in congress and is actually a partisan policy. I'm guessing you know that and are just toning it down to be less politically offensive on HN.

However, this is an important distinction and not for the sake of finger pointing. It's important because it means that we have the power to change our government. We have the power to demand better of our politicians and to refuse to vote for them if they support policies that make it easier for tax cheats to walk while increasing the tax burden on everyday people.

I understand why you might want to tone it down and just blame congress and all politicians for this type of policy (because, yes politicians are gross and should be kept at an arm's length), but that breeds the idea that we are just stuck with a broken government that can't be changed. You really can have an effect on government if you are willing to look at who historically votes for policies like this and make the choice that is best for you. If you didn't have power in the process, then our politicians wouldn't be spending so much money on campaigns to get you to their side.

From the articles you linked:

> The IRS has never been a popular cause on Capitol Hill. But Democrats and Republicans long shared a grudging consensus that the agency’s basic work of tax collection deserved protection.
That changed when the Republican Party came into power in 1994 and Newt Gingrich became the speaker of the House. The new majority’s main priority was tax cuts, and vilifying the IRS helped its case.

> The notion wasn’t a fringe position within the party. Former Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana, a respected mainstream Republican, ran for president in 1996 on a platform of abolishing the IRS. A Republican congressman in 1998 introduced a bill to repeal the Internal Revenue Code by 2002. “Abolish the IRS” remains a potent talking point. Ted Cruz, the Republican senator from Texas, campaigned on the slogan when he ran for president in 2016.

> Republicans, riding the Tea Party wave, took control of the House of Representatives and started hacking at the IRS’ enforcement budget

> Down it went, some years the cuts were steep, some not, as Republican lawmakers laughed off dire warnings about the consequences of letting tax cheats run free.

I see, you're most probably right, and this makes sense, thanks!

But what does the author think of using observables then I wonder? I mean the streaming kind, like ReactiveX (but not ReactiveX specifically).

Only 20% of the US population lives in rural areas[0]. Pre-pandemic, the national average one-way commute time was half an hour[1]. Given typical (pre-pandemic) traffic in most cities, much of that commute time will be spent in traffic congestion and very little will be spent at high speeds.

Rural areas, and locations with severe winter weather, have special needs for which higher speeds and more robust vehicles are appropriate, but smaller, lighter, and slower vehicles are a viable option for most Americans.

It's laughably out of touch to believe the US is even half rural. That ship sailed a very long time ago.

Very good point. Our massively over-complicated tax code only advantages wealthy people who intend to cheat or skimp on taxes, and tax prep companies like Intuit -- the latter of whom actively and successfully lobby Congress against tax reform.

This should be a bipartisan issue, but neither party seems interested in tackling it. A cynic might argue that this is because both parties are interested in maintaining the status quo, their leadership being full of people who benefit from it (or friends of such people). It also helps ensure that running the country is expensive and inefficient, making progressive policy harder to implement.
I take issue with this. Reading my question back, it wasn't intended to be malicious (short and to the point is what I was going for).

Broken down, its like this:

I'm asking what he learned: What was the take away form the situation? Is there something of value from what happened that can be shared that is worthwhile? If it comes across as implied as anything else, then I did a poor job at framing, but the question in the literal is asking nothing more than that.

My second question is simply, do you regret the experience? Do you have regrets surrounding the situation? An answer of "I don't regret anything about that situation" is another way to answer the same question.

I wasn't setting a trap, I was hoping to use the fact the person in question was actually commenting to get more information about the experience from a different source.

I don't think that's unreasonable at all.

I'm doing my absolute best to leave my own personal feelings out of it as well, which is why I used the words I did, actually, I felt they were far more along the lines of matter of fact than anything else.

Granted, I will concede we lose some of the human element in all this when talking over a text forum, so maybe this isn't obvious to others, however the questions were meant to elicit an honest response, not a defensive one.

Edit: I'll go on the record (now seeing I got an answer)

I think this narrative about "cancellation culture" is somewhat ridiculous. Its just an outgrowth of everyone being outraged in public forums now (Twitter, Facebook etc). Inevitable and very human, since any form of mass media was widely consumed (Tim Wu wrote a great book about mass media called The Master Switch which covers this very well). I don't think its a "problem" like some people make it out to be.

Secondly no, I don't think he was harmed, Brave is a successful product, and having to go outside the valley to raise money isn't "canceling" somebody. You still have a business, you still are CEO of that business, and its a successful business. In fact, I know since all this with Mozilla he's been interviewed in positive lights for Brave specifically. This isn't exactly following the guys career.

I know I'll likely take some flak for this, but I also don't disagree with what happened either. Actions have consequences, and the more publicly visible you are the more severe those consequences will be. A CEO that doesn't stand for the companies public values and missions isn't going to be kept on as CEO. In Mozilla's case, social equality is important enough that it affects the boardroom.
I'm glad Microsoft is doing development out in the open, but I really wish they'd do a better job of isolating features like WSL from the underlying OS. I'd gladly run an insider build of WSL, but with their track record of stability for their general releases, it terrifies me to think of running an Insider build of Windows.
I hope the peer review process improves this.
Since I use Windows + WSL at work and macOS for my personal machine, I really wish the Windows GUI experience was as nice as that on macOS. But it really isn't.

That’s completely misunderstanding why the cost increased. 95% pure carbon is worth next to nothing per pound. 99.99+% carbon is really difficult to manufacture.

Microsoft already has a Linux kernel. https://github.com/microsoft/WSL2-Linux-Kernel

If it were superior for containers, Windows containers wouldn't have withered on the vine.

.NET Core being truly cross-platform is pretty much an official acknowledgement by Microsoft that Windows is not the be-all and end-all. To use their words, they're "meeting developers where they live" instead of insisting that one size fits all, if that size is Windows.
Could you give some justification for that criticism and assertion please? (On its own, your comment falls short of HN standards.)

One of them. Or neither. I'm not using the app store for product discovery. Ratings are thoroughly gamed and comments are bullshit. If I install an app, it's because of an outside recommendation, and so I search directly for it by name.

(It's a principle I live by in general: don't use e-commerce platforms for product discovery; neither the platform nor the sellers have any incentive to give you best value for your time/money, and manipulation is rampart.)

But I get your point. If I were to choose, I'd probably lean towards the higher-rated and higher-review-count app, but I would make sure to read a few 1-star and 5-star reviews on both to determine how trustworthy the app is.

We also manage our whole infrastructure automatically via Ansible, but if there's a problem that goes beyond an error in the deployed code it's still necessary to access a machine via SSH in order to debug it.

> Are you having problems talking with other engineers because they look down on you? Is it a recent thing?

My colleagues, across engineering and at executive level, are incredibly supportive and are quite flattering in their appraisal of my abilities. However, I do have a hard time accepting their kind words. More-so over the past 24 months.

> Or are you burned out by the current company/type of work? (normal after so many years)

I feel at home with this company and the work remains mostly satisfying. However, I do regret existing within a very small engineering team.

> Or are you afraid you'll be unable to find a new job if the company lets you go?

It is definitely on my mind that I could struggle in the job market. I have arranged two interviews this month, if only to receive a dispassionate appraisal of my standing.

>The average German Engineering student doesn’t dream of flying to Mars

The German economy doesn't run on individuals going to Mars, it runs on process innovation, optimisation, and decentralised development between research facilities, a good university system, and companies.

On average the German worker productivity is very high. That's a measure of good allocation of resources, not software unicorns or Mars rockets. If German engineers would just be dreaming about holidays and luxury watches that wouldn't be the case.

If you look at the increase in total factor productivity (comparing how much aggregate outputs you get out of aggregate inputs, basically measuring technological efficiency), the last decade has been anaemic. SV venture capital software culture is good at capturing markets and shifting economic rent from markets towards centralised platforms, it's not driving innovation and we don't really need to emulate it.
What sort of processing are they doing? It seems like processing those materials to be pure and consistent could be pricey. Maybe not a perfect comparison, but raw silicon costs $1-2 per kg, but can cost several hundred per kg once processed into wafers.

It’s both faster out of the box and uses much, much less memory—which also makes it faster. As I note in the summary at the bottom of the post, because it provides no value-level caching out of the box, it does a great deal less work than the `@computed` system, and is about as cheap as it can be. But that also means you have the flexibility to layer in value-level caching when that’s the right tradeoff: something which is notoriously difficult to do (especially to do correctly) in a `@computed`-style system.
Health is a function of the application, not it’s host. A health check endpoint is paramount to ensuring the app is healthy. I still disagree with having _any_ access to a “box”. Local dev, console log, deployed debug? Better make sure you are logging events and not non-sense. Actionable events with request tracing (preferably). But yeah, it was a good article. Bitwarden is something I’ve used to share privileged keys before but the whole signing stuff was the right way to go.

Also, if you aren’t on “cloud”, odds are you are still using something like Kubernetes or DC/OS or Swarm or the like.

Of course, if your CA is taken over, you are in big trouble.

However, the attack vector here is much lower given you can have this on a local machine which is not even connected to a network if you like.

The single point of failure for central management solutions is in having them as a running service - if that goes down, you are in trouble.

And that is far more likely than your CA becoming compromised somehow.

Also in practice, you can also run two or more CAs (we do that), so you can deprecate a full CA if the need arises.
