> I'd much rather explicitly state when real resources are renamed than have terraform diffing my code and guessing whether I wanted to rename it or I am actually trying to recreate something.

But you're not renaming real resources, you're just renaming the Terraform identifier that corresponds to them. There's no reason that changing this identifier should destroy and recreate the resource it corresponds to. If you explicitly want to destroy and recreate it, you can change an attribute that forces a recreation (typically a "name" field or whatever identifier the resource's provider cares about).
It's definitely something I would make known/have made known in my resumes/applications, especially my training with modern symbolic logic/metalogic! But yes, even philosophy in general I think has some more organic agreement to coding beyond that.

The hardest language anyone could grok is probably the First Critique and works like that, and really understanding it is quite akin to the abstract kinds of thinking you need for coding.

Yes... and it's important to remember that unrealized stock gains aren't really wealth either. It's not like Bezos can go out and buy 100 billion things from the McDonald's dollar menu. The money is locked up in the shares and he has so many that any attempt to sell more than a few could really depress the price of the stock.

If anything, he's sort of a curator of the wealth for everyone in the Amazon world. Yes, he's able to live very well, but the simple value of his unsold shares doesn't capture his true ability to buy things.
Not a web developer by trade, so I just kind of assumed someone out there had a forms builder equivalent to what VB, Delphi, or FoxPro (my old product) had 25 years ago. Throw some controls on a page, tie it to a data source, sorted. No?
There are dozens of these examples. I switched a few years back after AWS released the automataic HTTP to HTTPS redirect functionality in ALBs and 6 months after release it still wasn't supported in CF. Terraform isn't perfect and it still has a ton of isues but it's rate of innovation is way a head of CF.
> SeKVM Makes Cloud Computing Provably Secure

> Columbia University researchers have created a secure Linux-based hypervisor

> Now computer scientists at Columbia University have developed what they say is the first hypervisor that can guarantee secure cloud computing.

> The researchers dubbed their new technique microverification, which reduces the amount of work needed to verify a hypervisor. It breaks down a hypervisor into a small core and a set of untrusted services, and then goes on to prove the hypervisor secure by verifying the core alone. The core has no vulnerabilities for a hack to exploit, and this core mediates all the hypervisor's interactions with virtual machines, so even if a hack undermines one virtual machine, it does not compromise the others.

It sad how IEEE's Spectrum carried this nonsense. There clearly wasn't any real technical review of these statements prior to publishing.
Every time someone tries to make a tax targeting the ultra rich, it ends up hurting the moderately wealthy instead.

Every. Single. Time.

The worse tax situation is always the person who makes 500k in a good year, or sells a house they held for 25 years which went up a bunch in value.

I suspect this is a significant factor in social mobility. Our tax system is punitive to people who try to leave the working class.

I'm active in many writing communities. There is a culture, among writers, to "Never respond to reviews." Those who dare break that taboo are asking for trouble, in the form of twitter mobs and online bullying.

Writing is a cut-throat, competitive industry. All of the arts are, once you get beyond hobbyist level and into the realm of professionals.

I would not be shocked if a lot of that abuse came from other writers.
I thought you believed truth and evidence were not necessary when sharing an opinion? What changed your opinion so quickly? Is it only necessary because I disagree with you?

"my biggest gripe with social media. There is no room for nuance, there is no room for grey. Every interaction is based on reaction alone - reflection is rendered moot, because there will always be another scandal that needs attending to."

That is inaccurate description. There are millions of voices with competing perspectives. Perhaps, borne of ones own ignorance, things can be viewed to be dichotomous, but choosing to be ignorant does not justify condemning others.

"These pluralities are unable to exist on social media.

There must always be objective truth, there must always be a side that wins, a side that loses, and there are extra points to whoever gets there first, never mind the consequences. This constant need for triumph is so dangerous and reductive. It removes the requirement for individual critical analysis - it is so easy to get swept up in the herd mentality and feel a rush of adrenaline when you agree with thousands of others online."

This is a description of a subset of possible human communications. This is not an attribute of social media. This certainly doesn't describe the majority of interactions on Twitter, let alone the majority. Yes, sometimes some people behave this way. It's likely that all of us do at times. However, this reductive communication style has always existed.

Blaming the medium for the negative interactions of the few is lazy, tired, and wholly uninteresting to me.
Another aspect of personal projects is that if they’re truly enjoyable they can be a kind of salve for burnout.* If you feel like you can’t even open your IDE, a personal project can generate the excitement that reinvigorates your passion.

There’s also less of a speed limit with personal projects — the things like: “before you go down that road let’s talk with X; hold off on that idea for now; let’s wait until...”

This freedom is conducive to learning new things. My career success rests heavily on skills I gained pursuing personal projects, where I was able to try ridiculously complicated or “out there” ideas. I’ve worked for people in the past who were strongly against me spending free time on personal projects, but benefited from all the skills I had gained doing so. Beware of this mindset — it’s fear based and leads to unsuccessful outcomes in other ways.

* Side note is: careful not to burn out on what’s supposed to be a fun personal project.

> I don't think you're losing users due to the shape of tabs

They very might lose users because of the design of tabs. Tabs is almost the only UI most users see. If they feel dated, the whole browser feels dated.

The "floating tabs" style is very minimal, fresh and modern, and honestly still unambiguous. I'm pretty sure this new style was a good move.

Some of the activities you described are by the Mozilla Foundation, not the Mozilla Corporation. The two have different sources of funding, so the Foundation's "spending on NGOs and politics" doesn't have any bearing on the funds used on Firefox development. The split between the two exists so that one org doesn't have the constraints of a non-profit: the non-profit Foundation can take tax-deductible donations while the Corporations can do things that a tax-deductible charity can't.

I'm not a fan of some of the Corporation's recent non-FF work (Pocket acquisition, Mullvad-based VPN, etc). But saying that they're expensive and take away from FF funding is inaccurate. These projects are intended to create new revenue streams for the Mozilla corporation.

I think that Mozilla having to chase new revenue streams in questionable ways (like having a proprietary service, Pocket) in an indictment on the Web's complexity and how it takes billions of dollars to build a browser. Making ethical compromises to fund continued development is an extreme but real example of the consequences of software bloat.

> But did they really do such wrong that the 10,000th voice is needed?

Size is power, and size comes from Engagment. Each voice gives more attention to the problem and prevents it from sinking in the ocean of meaninglessness of twitter. At least for the moment the topic is trending.

> I am ashamed to say I've done it myself, back when I was on Twitter. My feed would start lighting up with some really Bad thing that so-and-so said -- and generally it was "Bad" -- and I'd add my voice somewhere to that cacophony. Not necessarily writing to the Bad Person, but chiming in on someone's long thread.

And now you are here; is this not the same?

> Mobs are scary, because everyone thinks they are justified.

Who says they are not? It's just one little voice. One of many, but still one.

Whether it's justified is more a matter of perspective. In the end it's just people talking and gossiping, they have no real power. But people are giving them power by listening to them. But it's also questionable how many are doing this. At the end the mob is still a single voice of many, maybe moving something, maybe not.

> A good friend of mine grew up in Kenya and recounted that when he was about nine, he saw a mob catch a thief. Joining in with everyone else, he took a wire and whipped the man. Next thing he knew, the crowd had put tires over the alleged thief and set him on fire. He has never forgotten the guilt he felt.

Ok, that's definitly a different dimension than Twitter. That's not your typical cybermob. Though, there is also this insanity spreading from Virtual Places to real world. But this is not limited to Twitter. Reddit has their dark history in that area, as also facebook, discord, even ancient IRC and usenet had this crap.

> What if I want to keep that diamond but cannot afford to because of the taxes?

Then you have to sell it. This is no different from game show awards, where the “car” you ein is taxed at the car’s value, so unless you have enough savings, you have to sell the car to pay the taxes.

I don’t really see any problem with this though? Absolutely we should force Bezos to sell some of his stock to pay taxes: employees already have to do this when they’re given stock grants, why should it be any different for owners?

I feel like this article does 4 things:
1. Foment rage at the inequalities of the tax system (very easy to do) through their simple narrative
2. Flag to wealthy people who are paying their fair share to look at how to further improve their tax efficiency.
3. Create political damage (which seem to lean democratic) to the individuals who are doing everything legally?

It seems like ProPublica is trying to continue to lay the groundwork for a wealthtax campaign by fomenting further rage around the inequalities of US tax system.

Aside from that I have deep concerns about the source of this information and why it was used. Seems like IRS taxes have been weaponized and are readily available. Everyone should be deeply concerned about how ProPublica got this information.

I agree as well. Also, luxury goods (yacht, private airplane, (maybe) jewellery, etc...) should be taxed much heavier than bare necessities (food, clothing).

I believe some basic amount of wealth should be tax free (e.g. x-amount of square meter living space per person in a household, a car with value up to 25.000 USD perhaps, etc...).

I also believe many ultra-wealthy people setup foundations to control their wealth after their deaths, avoid paying inheritance tax and keep wealth inside the family by being able to decide who is on the board of such foundations. Foundations are also used to peddle influence. I believe for these reasons that donations to foundations should not be tax exempt.

I've gone on super long runs (10+ miles) through cities, parks, and other beautiful environments.

These runs can be transcendental. During them, I felt like I was at peace and all my problems almost went away. Now I think back on them and feel nostalgia, also I appreciate nature and architecture a lot more. For me, runners high is very real.

TBH, I believe that is a huge root cause problem with our health care system. We need to stop pretending that money is infinite, and measure the cost against the benefit (in this case, little or none) when deciding whether Medicare/insurance companies should pay for a treatment.

Perhaps this shouldn't be the responsibility of the FDA, but SOMEWHERE there should exist a process that says, "OK, this drug increases lifespan on average by 1 week, but costs $10,000 a month in treatment, sorry we're not going to cover it."

This is a strawman argument.

Bezos did not stumble across Amazon while digging weeds in his back garden. He built a successful business through a mixture of hard work, risk, his contacts, laws and infrastructure that we collectively paid for.

It’s not downplaying his efforts to point out that he now contributes proportionally less to the country than he benefits from. This isn’t an accident, either. Bezos pays smart and connected people to push for lower taxes and then avoid as many of those as possible.

Neither does squashing though: you still can't tell if that line was introduced or modified.

I've come across "fix indentation" or "fix typo" commits where a bug was introduced, like someone accidentally comitted a change (maybe they were debugging something, or just accidentally modified it).

For example: I'm tracing a bug where a value isn't staying cached. I find a line of code DefaultCacheAge=10 (which looks way too short) and git blame shows the last change was modifying that value from 86400. What I do next will be very different if the commit message says "fix indentation" vs "added new foobar feature" or "reduced default cache time for (reason)".

Writing infrastructure as code is quite often an exercise in:

a) define what I want
b) write an API call to find out whether what I want already exists
c) write an API call to create it if it doesn't exist
d) Sometimes people do stuff manually and your code should tolerate working around these manual changes (i.e. update in place when possible, tear down and recreate when not possible)
e) To be efficient, your code should run things in parallel when possible

Terraform allows you to write (a) and outsource the rest to a provider (b,c) usually maintained by the API provider themselves or Terraform itself (d,e)
> Go there to learn something

I think that's the problem OP is trying to solve. Reddit has devolved into an "our way or the highway" mentality in many subreddits.

On example I remember reading about a while back concerns the use of PVC piping in hydroponics. Basically, because someone said brittle PVC pipes don't contain pthalates, so you don't have to worry about any of that stuff leaching into your plants as they grow. Proof? "No, just believe us."

That's not the kind of knowledge I want.
Yeah the destination charge games is just a little annoying to me. I'm wonder if it is also there to help avoid losing too much margin in cases of 'Ford Plan' discounts on the upper trims.

My main vehicle right now is a WRX, so a 40/33MPG Compact truck is a great Ironic DD for me.

I also appreciate that they are -not- locking the Ecoboost behind the XLT trim. I do think it's silly that there's no aluminum wheel option package for the base model though. Same for AWD, but I think that's a little less important for a truck that is FWD.

If I had one fear on this, it would be the CVT on the 2.5L engine. The Powershift was a good example of how Ford sometimes ignores warnings of engineers about reliability in the name of hitting a price point. Hopefully they aren't repeating the same mistakes. I guess it depends on the overall design; if it's something like the Toyota HSD, should work great and possibly be better long term than the 8 speed used in the Ecoboost.
You're right. Git is widely used but I wouldn't call it an industry standard (yet), especially not not for repositories that exclusively contain binary data.
