Flutter most definitely deserves a place on the Linux desktop, if in fact you ARE in favor of choice. Concerns about it overtaking GTK and Qt are well-founded, because they are lousy to work with (and in the case of Qt, non-free).

If, as a developer, I build cross-platform applications that deploy across desktop and mobile platforms, I want sane tooling. Dart and Flutter are a step in the right direction, as is Go, another language birthed at Google.
True, but knowing how to manage money is something you learn on the way to having a lot of money. Any kind of immediate wealth like winning the lottery, making a single relatively spontaneous thing that unexpectedly makes you tons of money (like a single hit song, etc.) is simply too fast for you to adapt to it and so by the time you learn, you've burned through too much of it.

In the same way, a rich person suddenly becoming poor would lack the skill to stretch out their near-zero resources, while one that is conscious of a slow decline will not only stretch out their reserves longer but also be far more used to living frugally by the time they hit that same near-zero level.

And it's not like it's too hard either, you just need some guidance. A distant acquaintance had a frankly obscene amount of Bitcoin laying around from back when CPU mining still made sense and the first thing he did when he realised what he had was sell enough to hire the best financial advisor he could find. He now owns a house, a startup incubator, several rental properties and I don't think he's sold much more of that BTC than what he did originally.
Some of the assertions are questionable. college and healthcare have gone up but the amount people actually pay relative to sticker price is small . There is tons of financial aids and other deference and forbearance programs, so college is quite affordable if you finish.
Yes, sadly. But the pay is good as a contractor and there are very few other options than public sector where I live
Inflation is not always in relation directly to the price.

For example, if Netflix is able to get 10,000,000 new subscribers. It receives $100,000,000.

It can now spend $50,000,000 on new infrastructure, which will make the price rise.

Netflix can also hire for $50,000,000, which creates jobs that otherwise wouldn't exist. Those new employees, working for that new currency will spend their salaries, rising the prices.
I agree. Your comment is quite valuable in that respect.
What are you scarifying when going LATS? It sounds too good to be true.

In all fairness if the message contains sensitive information, I can see why an organization wouldn't want to have to worry about data breaches from third-party email providers.
You're mistakenly assuming all IT policies stem from logic.
Problem with gold is that it is also inflationary only difference is it is mines that "print" more gold instead of a central bank.

Cryptocurrencies are better since they have geometric decay built into the algorithm to make them deflationary by default.

> You can actually make an application that looks decent and isn't a pile of shoehorned libs with an HTML engine.

As if desktop OSes aren't full of "shoehorned libs" and non-native rendering engines among other cruft...right down to standard i/o interfaces that all processes use, which are based on the idea of a Teletypewriter.

> I lost years waiting to have a decent way to develop desktop applications for Linux. After 20 years no one could get their shit together...

That's funny because after using an Arch based desktop system (Manjaro) for a few years, I'd never go back to the Windows/Mac way of doing things on my main workstations. Imagine having to search the web to find a download page and/or get walled into someone's idea of a garden in order to find apps? Yuck!

And what apps exactly am I missing? Photoshop? Because when I moved to Linux every app I needed from Windows or its equivalent was already here - Chrome, VS Code, Beyond Compare, Android Studio, Gimp, Pinta, LibreOffice, Postman, Thunderbird, Slack, Spotify, Discord, OBS, FreeRDP, VLC Media Player and the list goes on... Barrier, a decent Notepad replacement (Mousepad - which is better than Notepad), MySQL workbench, Azure Data Studio (for SQL Server), etc. etc. etc... All that and my OS stopped getting in the way of me doing things like Docker, Node/NPM, bash scripts and many other such things that are bolted on and poorly supported in Windows/Mac.

I guess when you argue with people who think the Mac desktop toolkit is any good...well I don't expect to get anywhere here. I mean, the fact that you pretty much have to use Objective-C or Swift to even interface with them is already a huge detriment. Once you get past that you only have to deal with the normal missing features and anti-developer stuff that Apple throws at you. I'll take Win32 and C# any day over that garbage, but beyond that - I love HTML for desktop apps. The rendering engine behind Chromium is the most advanced in the world and it can do things that desktop toolkits couldn't dream of offering.

> BUT the Linux community never proved they can deliver a product.

The only reason a quarter of developers are on a Mac is because Linux laptop drivers aren't always great. It has absolutely nothing to do with GUI toolkits or any perceived lack of apps. It's so easy to build apps for every platform now with Electron - the vast majority of people don't care what their desktop apps are built on and that's why Electron is pretty much eating the world, not Flutter.

> It's simply not in their nature and it's OK, but don't cry about when some evil conglomerate rolls up in town and gets all the action.

Yeah, I'm sure people will complain that there's a new way to build apps especially if it's perceived as "better" than Electron (which I doubt it will be), but I guess we'll see. Currently I there aren't any popular Flutter apps and none of the desktop software that I see people use at work were built with Flutter.
Yeah right, mostly do the same, but then your phone records video at 400MB/s and then finds and tags everyone's faces that you can easily find at single tap...
This chart in the expense share of a typical income illustrates a number of issues well, but healthcare stands out like crazy: https://mobile.twitter.com/_cingraham/status/123195012984367...

College, transportation and housing are all pretty high overall, but the healthcare share is just stunning. If we were looking at dramatically better outcomes or services, fine. Unfortunately, doctors get to see patients for less and less time, billing is going up and you don’t really see anything in return. Most other developed nations put a stop to this a long time ago…
I've done plenty of this too.
> Just seems that the whole Vietnam having only a communist party with state capital system would make it obvious that we lost.

The alternative explanation is that we won the war, but then handed over South Vietnam anyway.

(“We won the war against the VC, but the cost of doing so and the subsequent full-scale NVA invasion led to a determination to not even try to fight the follow-on war with the NVA” is a somewhat more defensible narrative with a broadly similar shape, so there’s arguably something vaguely resembling a point underneath the nationalistic chest-thumping, though artificially dividing the war that way is still a distortion, IMO.)
> As an illustrative example to gauge the impact of this change, we have calculated that this change will increase the size of the standard library’s pyc files by 22% (6MB) from 28.4MB to 34.7MB. The overhead in memory usage will be the same (assuming the full standard library is loaded into the same program)...

The authors then go on to discuss that they tested it against several of the larger popular libraries. I think they gave some serious thought to the performance ramifications, but that they didn't see one.

They go into detail about why they're only storing an extra uint8_t, and the compromises that makes, but that the fact that it doesn't impact performance is what makes those compromises worthwhile.

I don't think this PEP falls into a culture indicative of not being thoughtful around the tradeoffs involved in language design.
I use Minitest over Rspec whenever I can in new Rails projects. The ecosystem of tools isn't as rich around Minitest but I spend a lot less time trying to remember various bits of the Rspec DSL and less time deciphering my colleauges' overly clever Rspec code.

Rspec was a product of that era of DSL mania in software that has thankfully passed.
I have never actually seen any of these, but my gut reaction reading that was to assume that ISO standards are so slow and committee-driven that they're probably way to far behind current threat models in as fast a moving field as consumer computer security. (Having said that, the low hanging fruit of "Update your software/OS promptly, use strong unique passwords and a password manager, use 2FA where available, use full disk encryption where available." has been valid and relevant advice for well over a decade, so...)

good? not really sure what you trying to say. companies will always go to the low labor cost countries.
Most values that exist in religious doctrine and culture end up spreading to secular culture.

Issues like sexual shame, circumcision, censored language, etc. are all commonplace in America because they are actively promoted by religious conservatives and (for the most part) passively ignored by critics.

It's difficult to be critical of values that religious institutions have without being generally dismissed as overly antagonistic.
I agree that you're better off with stocks. I know the first thing about running a website, condo, and vending machine, and it's that it's work. I'm not looking for a part-time job.

I disagree about looking for stocks that pay a decent dividend. They're overpriced because boomers are all over that (which actually means the yields aren't great), and dividends are taxed as regular income (32% for our $200k doctors), not 20% like long-term capital gains. Dividends also more or less come out of the stock price (tends to be a bit less), so the draw do dividends is that the feel better than selling shares.

The main takeaway from the article was just "live within your means and invest what's left."
Which of those is more important and by how much though? If both are important factors it would necessary to determine that weighted measure before falsely drawing a correlation that is incomplete or biased.
When was the last time you got lost and couldn’t navigate your way to safety?

For all of human history “getting lost” was one of the most prominent plot devices in all of art and we literally solved that within what, the past 10 years?

I think the true problem is that innovations went from solving sensory discomfort (I can’t see in the dark, this chamber pot smells bad) to preventing problems we don’t have yet.
But the whole point of the article is that given the way modern hardware and kernels work, you don't actually have the ability to program against lower layers of abstraction, and attempting to do so can degrade performance.

That is fine. Just go back to sleep and commit it in the morning. Or if the solution is keeping you awake (it happens to the best of us) code it down for an hour (or however long it takes) and take the following morning off.

If your company doesn’t allow taking the following morning off. Don’t do this. They don’t deserve your extra work. Find a technique that takes your mind off you work (personally I like to count up the American Presidents since Lincoln; or the states admitted in order since Vermont; takes me right to sleep before I reach Oregon [although my company allows me to take the following morning off, most of the time I feel like sleeping rather then working]).

The three big changes for me are feeling like I have more energy, sleeping better, and knowing I have ~$100 less in my bank account each month.

Honestly, it might just be placebo, but I'm going to keep doing it. My goal isn't to improve my current health but to maintain it (I'm about to enter my 40s, so maintaining my health has been on my mind a lot).

Part of me worries it's not doing anything - maybe it only helps people later in life with an NAD deficiency. Part of me worries I've been scammed - picking an NMN supplier is difficult because it's costly and there are no suppliers I'd consider a brand name. Part of me worries I'm lacking some other key ingredient - resveratrol is often mentioned, but I had an allergic reaction to it and stopped; you can see Dr Stanfield's list of supplements in his doc, and it's hard to know which ones matter: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1f4qoRL1sxVXiiOBaMJeJqxQr...

So, I'm not convinced it's doing anything. The chance it might do something later down the line is, for me, worth the price. I buy into Dr. Sinclair's research which is why I choose NMN over other alternatives.
1Password is remote-first. We do have 2 office buildings but even the headquarters has less than 20 people in it on a given day. During COVID I’m pretty sure that number has gotten even lower. I’m not even in the same country so I’m never in :)

I agree with other commenters that it might not be the best thing to say if you want to keep your friendships.

It's a very true sentiment though. Another one that often comes to my mind when people brag about amount of hours work is something along the lines of: "Do you know that you're effectively being paid at near minimum wage?" (obviously not true for everyone, but some people's salary goes from 'decent' to 'minimum wage' per hour worked)

But it's even worse than just being paid less per hour worked:

For each hour you work, you lose an hour of 'life'. Working 10 hour days instead of 8 hour days means that you lose 10 hours of 'life' a week.
Every economy in the world has and will continue to operate with some inflation, taking away an inflationary currency is dangerous and will serve to further entrench the wealth inequality we have seen grow over the past century. Sure crypto is nice because you don't have to trust a central government, but you already are trusting that government with the other 99% parts of life, rendering this sort of moot. In addition, monetary policies in times of crisis would not work in the world of crypto. Sometimes to prevent a total collapse, the fed needs to print some money. Sure it's not the best/most perfect tool, and should be used very sparingly, but to discredit it as unnecessary is a gross misunderstanding of modern monetary theories.
Taken at the absolute minimum interpretation that would still make "error" the second largest expense category of the foundation.
> This isn't the case, however, for digital goods. If there are suddenly 100 million new people who want to buy a Netflix subscription, it isn't like we are going to see the price of a Netflix subscription go up because there isn't enough Netflix to go around.

Good point but you have to think that if there’s lot of demand for Netflix which means Netflix has lot of hit shows. Say their hit percentage is 10% (which is very high). Which means they have to make more and more shows to provide that number of hits to sustain so much demand. Which means more expenses, which puts pressure on them to increase the price of subscription. Which also means actors, story writers etc can charge more (as they are only a finite number of good actors etc)
> There are upper class Americans in particular who basically work extremely long hours (80-105 hour work weeks) to game the system, with no net productivity gains whatsoever compared to the middle and upper middle class who typically work 40-60 hour work weeks at maximum. In fact, the productivity gains generally wane off at about 32 hours per week, and we really do not need longer work hours in modern society

There is some confused language being used here. If you're saying the marginal productivity of the 81st hour worked in a week is 0, then that is almost certainly wrong.
If you're saying that the marginal productivity of the 81st hour in a week is less than that of the 32nd hour, that may well be true, but if so, nothing else of what you said follows from that.
Golang and cargo have the best dev stories out there. Period.

You can’t buy “cash flow” as some kind of abstract quantity. You can only purchase a claim on someone else’s work, sometime in the future. There is no such thing as cash flow in the abstract, apart from a real person doing work.

In the words of Dr. John Hussman: “Understand that securities are not economic wealth. They are a claim of one party in the economy – by virtue of past saving – on the future output produced by others.”

Of course, the great irony there is that the past saving that Dr Hussman is referring to may have itself derived from output produced by others, unless the investor obtained that money by wage labor done by themselves personally.
Same. My first reaction was:

Mirtazapine will do that to a bit of an extreme. Escitalopram didn't, at least for me, in some ways it made it slightly more difficult to sleep. This is in my body, so everyone's mileage may vary. I found the massive drowsiness of mirtazapine so difficult to deal with that I ended up preferring the frustrating sexual side-effects that escitalopram has (and found it more effective for my depression anyway).

Lately, the buprenorphine injection I get once a month is all the antidepressant I need. Still has side-effects, but these are ones I'm very used to at least.

>However, folks who had property with a fixed-rate mortgage going into the 1970s, generally did very well. The house price kept up with inflation, but the mortgage was devalued against inflation, and so home equity went up by quite a bit, along with their wages.

Being a debtor is good when inflation hits, and having an asset that has historically outpaced inflation is doubly good. I believe this is a part of why home prices are rising, people know its going to be a lucrative investment over the coming years, and the downside is minimal at low rates.
Thanks, that's a bit relieving.

1) An office that was well-constructed to support remotes connecting in. It can be surprisingly challenging to ensure a positive experience for partially remote meetings, and this wasn't consistently perfect, but the effort was put in.

2) Having people team members who were fully focused on 'remote experience', and ensuring that perks for in-office folks had comparable events and such for remotes.

3) ~Almost all roles being eligible for remote. There were a few organizational exceptions outside of eng, but for the most part any team could hire remotely with fairly little friction.

Really, it was a learning experience over time, and it requires intentional effort to be a 50/50 company, but despite some other flaws, DigitalOcean was ~generally good at this while I was there.
