After reading the quote at the beginning, the article didn't go the way I thought it would.

I end up seeing a lot more shades of gray because of my experience on Twitter. If you ever ask yourself "how could someone possibly believe...", that someone is on Twitter and probably wants to tell you why.

I generally operate under the stance of "the platform is neutral, it's what we make of it that matters". I'm not entirely sure that's true - I am currently on a Twitter hiatus to reset some things mentally - but it's true to an extent.

Why are you on the site? Do you want the sensationalism, the absolutism, the drama? Or do you want to hear thoughtful discussion from a range of interesting voices?

This post articulates Twitter's pitfalls, but I'm not sure they're inherent or unavoidable.
I was commenting exactly on that. You think having every commit build, at the cost of destroying history, is gaining something.

I think representing history correctly is best, and agree that “squashing buys you next to nothing” other than visually pleasant output. Clearer?

My favorite approach is rebase + non-ff merge. Best of both worlds.
Making everyone's income public is very different than a public record or property ownership. I for one wouldn't appreciate people looking up and talking about the income of their high-school classmates. Income drives enough status in society without it being publicly known and discussable.

Not to speak for them but I experienced the same feeling of interest in who the author was. For me it sounded like someone associated with CIPHR or another messaging application that did this analysis (still factual analysis) on a rival application. There was some marketing-type language in there that made me think that.

So, I guess you didn't really read my other posts in this thread; getting upset about certain jokes is hardly unique to millennials, and it's pretty silly to act like it is.

I realize I didn't make it as clear as I'd like (and that's my fault), but I wasn't suggesting "shutting down" humor. What I was trying to say (unsuccessfully) was that we should potentially be less tolerant of certain humor en masse via social pressures. I'm really not in favor of having a government entity disallowing humor.

For example, throughout the 90's and early 2000's, it used to be somewhat tolerated to use gay stereotypes to make fun of gay people. Eventually we realized (for the most part) that these stereotypes might be harmful, and for the most part have stopped making these kinds of gay jokes. It wasn't like the government stepped in and said "it's illegal to make fun of gay people", we just socially moved on from that.

You see, what they want to pay for is a frontend only person and what they want to hire is someone that has 30 years of experience in frontend, backend, microservices, distributed systems, Raft, Paxos, and Windows Server 2023.

I'm currently quite underpaid (comparatively) but honestly the biggest thing stopping me is the barrier to entry anywhere else. I don't want to grind leetcode to answer questions that have zero bearing on my work, that I have _never_ had to implement IRL, that will never be used in my line of work, deal with unlocking credit to pass a credit check and re-locking it, waste 3 days interviewing just to get ghosted, put together a portfolio or code samples only to clearly see in access.log they have never been looked at once
That’s the point, the heirs don’t have to.

Suppose I own $1 million worth of Bitcoin I mined back in the day. If I sell the day before I die I’ll owe $200,000 in long term capital gains taxes. But if I die, leave those coins to you, and you sell them the day you inherit them for the same $1 million, you owe no capital gains taxes.

Edit: if this is surprising, it should be. The step up basis is insane.
I didn’t disagree. I said it’s an ideal.

This is why the top income tax bracket should be taxed at the rate of 70% or thereabouts. Also, increasing the corporate tax rate would capture some of the gains which currently go to increases in stock valuation.

Basically, bring back the pre-1980s tax regime.

You guys are confusing two things - ME and AMT (=vPro).

The fist one everyone gets. This one doesn't allow remote management, it is intended for internal housekeeping, plus things like emulated TPM and DRM.

The second one, which builds on top of the first one, allows management in about the same scope as any other BMC would, and it is pretty easy to avoid it - just do not purchase SKUs with vPro. For vPro, you have to pay extra, so doing that is pretty easy.

That said, I also consider vPro generally useful, though somewhat flaky and unreliable. It is also about the only way to get BMC-like functionality for desktops or laptops (hey, Intel, any plans for new NUCs with vPro?).

Reading some of your replies, you are good at coming up with reasons you cannot be successful.

A friendly suggestion: this attitude may be holding you back more than you realized before now.

What to do instead, is repeatedly ask yourself: "how can I do this?"

Apply this to many specific areas:

- How can I change my CV so it comes across differently?

- How can I begin a small startup without money or other resources?

- How can I move towards my goal without any new degree?

- How is my training in veterinary medicine an asset?

- How can I do medical ML for veterinary medicine?

- Et cetera...

You have a choice now to dig into your heels and say to yourself reasons why none of what I say above will work, and why your situation is truly and utterly hopeless.

OR you can say different things to yourself, maybe get a different result.
The problem with your thesis is that many radiologists are paid per read. They're essentially contractors. These independent radiologists would gladly pay 100k/year for an AI that could do their jobs. Even if the tool didn't do diagnosis, just made them 50% faster, they would gladly pay a huge amount of money.

Contrast this with the field of Radiation Oncology. There are already AI auto-contouring solutions that you can buy today. It's a better fit given the limitations of AI:

1) Contouring can take hours per patient, so more value is gained by automating it

2) Normal structures are, well, normal; that is that they are not the diseased part of the patient. If the AI can't quite figure out where the kidney is and fills it out with an average looking kidney, hey that's probably an alright guess!

3) The AI doesn't have to be perfect; dosimetrists and docs can quickly check and update the result if the algorithm fails. Everyone is already familiar with this workflow due to the atlas segmentation algorithms that were state-of-the-art before.

4) Similarly, the output is easy to understand. If the AI did something crazy because of a failure to generalize, it will be obvious. Not so for a diagnostic AI.

5) Clinicians have the final say on which contours are used for treatment. The liability for contour assistance is lower for the software vendor.

There were multiple countries citizens rising up against socialism in 1989. How many of them were orchestrated by the CIA? From what I have read, only Poland had a direct CIA link.

Another pattern could be that socialist governments repress their citizens by denying freedom
of press, freedom of speech and freedom of assembly. These citizens hope such freedoms are returned through democratic reform.

I suspect it’s more than just the evil CIA which is advocating for democracy.

Indeed. And a Citation biz-jet is way faster, flies higher, goes further, and carries more passengers than a Carbon Cub. On the other hand, the Citation costs more, burns more gas, takes more maintenance, and is more complex to fly, and you should not try to land a Citation on a sandbar in a remote Alaskan river.

Changing the https://sqlite.org/ website to run off of Nginx or Apache instead of alhttpd would just increase the time I spend on administration and configuration auditing.
For ultra-high net worth individuals it's a pretty safe strategy. Typically a low volatility equity that doesn't pay dividends is used and only a small percentage of their portfolio is used.

Over the long run it tends to work in their favour as well, since it's very likely that the increase in the portfolio value will outpace the interest paid.
It's a very interesting point.

I've been part of managing rather large Terraform infrastructures (1000+ resources) for a couple of years, but I'm a Pulumi n00b with only about a month of experience.

The infrastructure I'm managing right now with Pulumi is much smaller, only around 130-140 different resources.

For me it ultimately came down to developer productivity. I'm much better at convincing Pulumi to do what I want compared to how it was with Terraform. This also makes me a much happier and less frustrated developer :).

My priorities might very well be different if I were to manage much larger infrastructures (infra cost would be more important for example).

Capital gains being delayed is not a direction we want to pursue. There are huge problems with unsellable stock in venture-backed start-ups and other situations where you can end up owning a massively valued asset that you can't sell to pay the taxes on. Said asset could go to zero without you ever realizing money. I don't think people should lose their start-up stock over taxes, or face putting their entire wealth on the line on a gamble the company pays off. Keep in mind it's not unheard of to have stock worth $2+ million for an early employee in a company that goes to zero. Even more relatable to the average person: If your house price goes up too quickly you can be forced to sell to afford paying the capital gains on it.

this comment turned into a bit of a personal rant, apologies.

I really liked this post, because it touches on so many things that I have to build as well at the moment. I'm building a configuration management interface; the front-end is basically authentication and heaps of forms, the back-end transforms it into XML and uses some shell scripts to rsync them to servers and SNMP to trigger a deployment. But the users have worries about overwriting each other's work, they ask for undo / revert support, and there's things like audit logging, user and permissions management, etc involved.

At the moment I'm slowly building all of that with a React/TS front end and a Go backend using a REST API, just trying to be as tidy and complete as possible. But it's a lot of work, and I'm afraid that once I get to things like versioning, locking, undo / revert, auditing and permissions, my fairly straightforward codebase will just explode in complexity, with each endpoint having loads of documentation and code to represent the different concerns. Client- and server-side validation is another concern, importing existing data, migrating user data from a staging to production environment, etc.

It's a lot. It's a project that should be done by a full team of developers, maybe even multiple but ATM I'm doing it on my own.

I'll never finish it. I'm currently trying to plough through and make sure everything is set up, but I'm hoping we'll get a big financial injection and I'd be able to hire a bunch of consultants (that I'm familiar with as being decent if expensive developers).

I don't know how the previous guy managed to get as far as he did on the older version, other than being a mediocre but productive and persistent developer for all that time, seeing the whole thing grow over time instead of trying to reach feature parity with a product nine years in the making.
Its a problem only if you use these vendors, you don't have to.
It looks like I misunderstood your comment. The point I want to drive home is that when the government "backs" one entity, paying for that backing via taxes on net income should not count as double taxation because I consider that tax a fee to pay for that one entity. Whether the government offers some other kind of entity with different tax advantages is, to me, beside the point because as someone who is not a corporate tax expert, I have to assume that there must be some kind of advantage to running a C corp vs an llc.

> I don't think it's really any more difficult to write a simple protocol that uses binary data compared to text.

I don’t really think so either… I mean, I’ve done both and it’s really not terrible to use binary. I think text is marginally easier to parse, but once to have the routines to read the right endian-ness, the advantage is minor. As you said, the biggest concern (as always) should be the design. A good design can be implemented easily with either mode.

However, it is significantly easier to debug a text protocol. Attaching a monitor or capturing packets is easier with text as the parsers are much easier and more generic.

What? There is no indication of that. What are you trying to say?
Its not a good way to settle disagreements by making threats as you outline here. I think your suggestion is as bad a way of handling this as the original way. Why not react positively, re-state your intent to hire the intern, say that this is indeed interesting for the company - and because of that - could you please make it not public (against a bonus) and maybe keep working on it inside repl.it.
At this point, I've come to believe that the real goal has nothing to do with actually fixing the system. I see it time and time again where articles like this get written and the proposals that follow focus solely on increasing income tax and proposing some form of a wealth tax. Nothing about closing the loop holes that allow this situation to happen in the first place.
Aggravatingly, in a lot of circumstances, 5/5 means "acceptable" and anything less is varying degrees of "unacceptable". That's not good, but it's very real. Uber drivers who fall below 4.6 can lose business, so a 4 rating can literally cost them money.

Given that they might as well just go to a thumbs-up/thumbs-down system. There are a number of situations where I'd love to give somebody 4 stars as a way of saying "You did good but I'd prefer X", but I don't want that to be a black mark.

I make the same mistake some times. If all other things are equal on a product I'll pick the 4.8 star one over the 4.6 star one, even though I know perfectly well that these are worse than useless.

That's no excuse for an author to be a dick about it, but it's a really stupid bind they're caught in.

I feel similarly.

I think, however, that PG's idea of "a project" as much as he says it should be "for fun" -- is actually just a segway (wormhole) into a start-up!

> One way to ensure autonomy is not to have a boss at all. There are two ways to do that: to be the boss yourself, and to work on projects outside of work. Though they're at opposite ends of the scale financially, startups and open source projects have a lot in common, including the fact that they're often run by skaters. And indeed, there's a wormhole from one end of the scale to the other: one of the best ways to discover startup ideas is to work on a project just for fun.
Thanks for the clarification.

So let me rephrase. An application can attempt to create a file using the name "foo:bar" and this will result in a new entity in the filesystem that can sometimes be successfully accessed using the name "foo:bar", but generally not.
> I agree that a wealth tax is not the way to go.

Why not? A tax on wealth, even a small one, is the only mechanism to avoid a long-term drift towards a feudal-like state of society.
> I don’t know where to start though.

I would start with "cui bono" and look into learning about the various institutions in place who's main purpose is to maintain the complexity, that would stand to make significant losses (or disappear) if it were simplified.

This is a really brilliant project, and I love that it's open source! I'm certain that for tutoring, this is a much-needed self-hosting option! When it comes to schools, I'd be curious to know how it works in practice. Having supported a lot of schools in the past year using Coding Rooms with integrated Daily.co for remote learning, I have to say that the biggest challenges have always been related to just getting video to "work" with students. From the instructor's perspective, it's just so challenging to get 30 K-12 students on the same page with audio, video, input devices, and UIs -- not to mention stuff like just getting everyone signed in or using the right link. A system (perhaps hardware-included/based) that could do that would be ground-breaking for remote learning in my opinion. This is also the reason, in addition to school policies in some cases, that instructors feel like they have to stick with what they know in situations like this.
This is really great! So much fun to try out different phrases.
