That's because you don't "solve" these types of problem; you manage them. Harm reduction programs, decriminalization, and legalization bring drug use out into the open, so people can get help. People don't want to be afraid of getting arrested because they admit to using drugs. You make rehab programs available to these people rather than jail cells.

The real world value entry and exit points are ever present.

Mix it all one wants. It remains extremely difficult to avoid others knowing value, otherwise unaccounted for, finding it's way back. That plus a shake down of everyone the person ever knew remains potent, relevant and effective.

I have followed the rough tech developments. None of what I wrote is impacted too much. Obtaining real world value of any significance is where all the weak points are, and where long established means and methods play well.

People are super leaky. Records everywhere, redundant in many cases too.

Okay, that is something on the order of $10,000 per person if there's a homeless population of 60,000 people. I doubt if SF has such a large homeless population.

Does this $600 million cover things like Churches sheltering the homeless, pantries, and such? Or is it in addition to the the $600 million? Something is very rotten here.
> Worlds largest military also sucks up tax dollars but don’t give any benefits back.

It's easy to say a military is worthless until you actually need it. But, Finland was under Russian occupation for decades. I would guess plenty of Finns wished they had a better military then.
SixXS no longer does and I never was able to use them. For some reason one person assumed that information I provided were fake and I never was able to get an account with them until they ceased their activity.

HE.net works and was relatively nice experience to learn how IPv6 work, although both SixXS and HE you still had the disadvantages of tunneling like low speeds, outages etc.

It's nice to test if your application can work on IPv6, but you still won't get benefits of natively using it.

A torpedo can be used against underwater targets (including other torpedoes). They also allow the launching platform to remain at least somewhat covert, whereas launching a missile creates a really obvious datum.
Bill Gates was famously coding as a public company CEO and revising a lot of code he was unsatisfied with. I recall rumours he was politely urged to stop it.

"Ultimately he had to force himself to stop revising and perfecting his peers’ work. “I had to say to myself, ‘Ok, we’re going to ship code that I didn’t edit,’” he said. “And that was hard for me, but I kinda got over that.”"

Companies use college as a filter because it's difficult to assess proficiency during an interview and they'd like some way to cull the wheat from the chaff, and avoid wasting time talking to and hiring charlatans and posers.

Meanwhile, if you ask google-style brain-teasers during interviews (which can have a legit purpose, but it's become a cliché), people complain about that.

On the third hand, if you ask candidates do actual assess-able work during an interview, the extremes are "white board coding" and "take home programming problems", people balk at whatever you do for that too.

None of these are necessarily good, nor necessarily better than the others.

HN is lousy with complaints about all the different ways to filter and assess candidates.

> Reproducibility? This is the server. I will restore from backups.

To me, reproducibility is more than about restoring the old bucket of bits I had. It's about understanding, about being able to reproduce the means that a system got the way it is.

With Kubernetes, there is a centralized place where where the cluster state lives. I can dump these manifests into a file. The file is human readable, well structured, consistently structured, uniformly describes all the resources I have. Recreating these manifests elsewhere will let me reproduce a similar cluster.

The resources inside a kubernetes cluster are just so much easier to operate on, so much easier to manage than anything else I've ever seen. Whether I'm managing SQS or Postgres or Containers, being able to have one resource that represents the thing, having a manifest for the thing, is just so much more powerful, so much better an operational experience than either having a bucket of bits filesystem with a bunch of hopefully decently documented changes over time on it, or a complex Puppet or Ansible system that can enact said bucket of bits. Kubernetes presents high level representations for all the things on the system, of all shapes and sizes, and that makes knowing what I have much easier, and it makes managing, manipulating, replicating those resources much much easier & more straightforward.
I think there may be tax implications since the company you work for might need to pay taxes to the country you are working in. This is the reason HR is not allowing me to work in another country even though I am 100% WFH right now due to COVID and thus physical location should not matter.
Jonathan Corbet should clarify what he means when he says "the openssh community" considers scp deprecated because it sounds like he's only speaking for himself. It's kind of clickbaity.

>Even making good money in Silicon Valley I'm perpetually afraid of medical bankruptcy if something were to happen.

Let me get this straight - you are covered by medical insurance (assuming on "making good money"), and you're "perpetually afraid" that you will be forced in to bankruptcy after being treated for life threatening condition ? Not the fact that you'll first need to have a life threatening condition that requires a huge amount of money to treat, which you will need to overcome to get to the bankruptcy part, but the fact that you'll need to go through bankruptcy afterwards ?

I mean there are ways to hedge against that scenario if you have the money and are really afraid of it - maybe start treating family better and share your money so you have a support network to fall back to if you get in to such situations, or work on building it - going through those scenarios alone is going to suck without it - ignoring social safety net and economic factors.

You people make it seem like bankruptcy is worse than death.

It’s not strictly about getting more out of the system than you particularly put in. On top of that no one knows if their the average or the one who’s going to need expensive life saving intervention. It levels out some of the randomness of the world for everyone, it largely removes one of the big causes of bankruptcy in the US which is medical debt.
I wish humanity didn't need a military but saying the world's largest military doesn't give anything back is a bit misleading. Some would argue the world's largest military enable the post WW2 order and with it the free trade that most of the world depends on. So in a very concrete way, the American tax payer subsidizes much of the world's economy.

Now in a post cold war with the growing isolationist tendencies of Americans, this may require most of the world, namely western europe to start paying for their own physical security.
Don't most policies have a max out of pocket? Everyone I've seen/had did.

The business is making money by a voluntary exchange: the tax is not a voluntary contribution. Maximizing lack of consent is not the same as maximizing voluntary exchanges.
One of the problems is that every person wants to live in some trendy neighborhood in "The City". Naturally, that means landlords can get away with charging exorbitant rents (the bulk of the inventory is under rent control, which reduces incentives for folks to move out). Because of this, you end up with ridiculous startups that rent beds out to people, folks paying $2000+ for a small room in a small house, and so on.

Meanwhile, in the majority of places that aren't the Bay Area (or urban CA), folks in professions like engineering are set up with nice suburban homes and additional properties by their mid-thirties.

I have seen many east-coast transplants move back after realizing that the madness is not going to end in the past ten years. Giving up access to the Bay Area job market, or existing social or family circles are perhaps the only thing holding folks back from getting the hell out of this area, I feel.
Twitter has nothing to do with free speech. Twitter is free to decide who can and cannot use their platform and run their TOSs how they see fit.

There's an $8,500 annual maximum out-of-pocket per individual under ACA. That's a lot over several years, but it's not going to be retirement-destroying for most SV workers.
It's a good question. Modern ships have both anti-missile missiles and guns. Anti-torpedo torpedoes exist but AFAIK aren't widely deployed.
As an engineer you're already going to be making enough money to be comfortable in Finland for the rest of your life. In addition to that, there is no stress from minmaxing your whole life like in USA. Real life isn't diablo, you're supposed to enjoy it.

Thanks for your reply. Fwiw, I don’t think you are privileged as you feel from my perspective. I think I would have to know you better, but I hear that you feel privileged.

It cuts both ways. I can’t make any assumption about anyone’s privilege or lack of simply because it’s none of my business and your privilege(or lack of, as the case might be) doesn’t impact my life at all.

However your actions directed towards me and it’s impact on my life would be subject to observation. There are concentric circles of influence for every individual. Yours and mine might never meet.
You're in the minority of people I've worked with in the last few years who make those sorts of decisions.

When I can, I try to keep some parallel /docs files with some relatively up to date tech notes close to the code. Jira/confluence/etc might also have info, but the docs that are connected in the same repo have a different level of usefulness for some things.
In other links here it looks like they just give you housing for 90 days until you’ve bought your own house/apartment. Which, at the average cost of an apartment in Helsinki, would save you about $3000-$7000. It helps a bit, but not super significant if you’re used to SV housing prices.

Finland was definitely invaded. While the Finns are often considered the victors in the Winter War because they managed to maintain their independence in spite of Stalin’s onslaught, they nonetheless lost a considerable slice of Karelia to the Soviet Union.
DHH helped to popularise it with this post: https://signalvnoise.com/posts/3113-how-key-based-cache-expi...

It's been hugely influential to the way I think about scaleable pages.

The University of New South Wales (UNSW) wrote some case studies on online assessment during the initial Australian lockdown back in March.

https://teaching.unsw.edu.au/academic-integrity/case-studies

Some really interesting results:

> In my course’s final online exam, students have access to a Microsoft Teams channel as they complete their exam paper. Students are allowed to ask for help from each other, post specific questions regarding how to solve the problems, post photographs of their working out and indeed their answers.

> A near perfect asymmetric Gaussian (bell-curve) distribution was achieved in the final exam with an average mark, pass and HD all being typical for the course were it to be run on face-to-face on campus. Additionally, my course achieved 100.0% satisfaction in the myExperience student survey. My students commented that this assessment approach was a very forward-thinking approach to online examination.
I am so sorry to hear that. I got mugged by some of the corner drug dealers in 2013 and they were at least nice enough to throw my drivers license out while running away, presumably to save me a trip to the DMV. I was thrilled to see the legal dispensaries put those guys out of business, I had long moved out by then but the area felt way less dangerous to walk around in.
That is also arbitrary.
Hell yes!!

In other posts people are complaining about the homeless people living in SF...

you know how you avoid homeless persons?? by having taxes paid healthcare (there is no free), taxes paid education, taxes paid home support.
> In Europe those services pay for ... healthcare which is mostly used by the elderly.

Finnish public healthcare encompasses things like regular dental visits that people of every age use.

Also, those high taxes pay for world-class public libraries and child daycare which the broad public use, even expats in the IT sectors.
The only flag I'd say I want 99% of the time is -E (same as calling egrep) because extended regular expressions are what you almost always want.

A sibling comment suggested -i, other useful flags are -w (find whole words) and -C (change the amount of context around matches), but I don't think I always use those.

A handy function for searching a tree:

greptree() {
find "$1" -name "$2" -type f -exec egrep "$3" '{}' +
}

greptree . '*.java' 'foo[123]'

That would search all java files in the current tree. One thing people often don't know is that -exec ... {} + in modern 'find' works like piping to xargs.

All that said... when I'm searching a tree, I can usually use 'git grep'.
Although there was snow and ice as late as May, just around the time I'd planted my carrot-seeds, potatoes, etc.

Apart from the other reasons listed, modern battle groups are equipped with close-in weapons systems like the Phalanx which have a decent chance of shooting down inbound airborne missiles, especially if they're not ballistic.

That and the fact you can launch underwater without disclosing your position makes it a pretty compelling weapon.
To be honest, creating an Operating System, the ecosystem surrounding it, etc. is technologically much more complicated than a lot of the stuff that web-based companies are doing nowadays. Besides, Microsoft was definitely a much more technical company that sold a purely technical product, so it is not entirely inconceivable that founders were deeply technical in a way that today's founders aren't.

I also imagine that there was much less 'adult supervision' of Microsoft. They probably did not take (any?) VC money, did they?

The scene today is very different, so I wonder how such a thing happens in modern-day startups. As an investor, I would be alarmed at such egregious misallocation of valuable founder/C-suite time and brainpower.

EDIT: I have read many an anecdote (from Joel Spolsky, for example), wherein Bill Gates was said to have pored over the minutest specification in documents spanning hundreds of pages and understood all the subtlety involved. Once again, how on Earth did Bill find the time?
