If I buy a house with my Roth IRA and fix a window the whole thing loses tax-exempt status. You're not supposed to able to have your Roth benefit from your labor - just capital investment. Thiel invests in PayPal as a Roth IRA at a founder-level price as it's starting up, and that seems equivalent to me.

If I use non-Roth funds to pay someone to a fix a window, I also lose tax-exempt status. Even if the Roth pays it back it's a loan. Thiel had already loaned $100,000 to PayPal.

Given that shortly after Theil's Roth's investment they closed funding with multimillion dollar valuations (instead of the tenth a cent a share he paid), I'm not sure that valuation really was a fair market value. Especially since they were priced as "founder's shares".

So how did Thiel not do something wrong with a retirement account legally required to be conducted at arms-length from him?

I'd love to be the same as you, but I've been an F-Droid user for many years, and I still reluctantly but heavily rely on Aurora[0] because of the dearth of good options on F-Droid. I don't mean to shit on the efforts of FOSS maintainers, many of the apps are amazing, but F-Droid is packed full of abandonware, and I can't help but thinking that creating more barriers to entry doesn't help those maintainers.

These strict approaches to vetting software we use are lovely in theory, but in practice the open-source community is criminally under-resourced, and applying further self-taxation on top of that isn't really ideal.

This isn't to say we need to compromise on security: you can have checks in place ensuring source is accessible for listing approval, and if you have infra available you can run static analysis and software-composition analysis on said source. Neither of those automation steps involve significant barriers for maintainers to submit (the only potential barrier is in acquiring approval for very insecure software if checks fail), and both would improve security significantly above and beyond the current custom build requirements.

You can argue the resources required for SA / SCA may be greater than those required for custom build, but if that's the case then you're evidently not doing custom builds for security reasons, so the argument is moot.

>But, this is not how you sell something.

I feel that way about a lot of articles like this. I want to know what you do well, I don't want to hear someone complain about something else.

Sell me on what you do well and what that means for me.

I work in React a lot and I don't feel like I run into this “pure overhead” type concept in the way they describe it and thus this article makes me:

1. Wonder what they're doing in React that they feel this way.

2. The article quickly becomes much less relevant to whatever it is I'm thinking about.
I can imagine cases where an attacker could have good knowledge of the reboot time of a system. For example, they could ping it for months waiting for a maintenance reboot.

Or they could flood the machine with requests, hoping to cause some monitoring system or human to reboot it.

But overall, it seems unlikely...

When I learned frontend web work and React years ago, I fell for the same "VDOM is fast!" hype, and assumed there was non-JS magic under the hood.

I eventually built a VDOM-based frontend WASM framework in Rust (Seed).

I now built frontends in HTML and CS, with no frameworks, and minimal, targeted JS code to manipulate the DOM directly; it's liberating, and much faster than both React and WASM/Rust.
Yeah exactly. The trick is to not burn out early. I usually got burned out when I figured out the core (perhaps 20% of the work) and needed many days to grind out the final results, which I did not have the perserverance to complete. This is probably my worst shortcoming of life and I still can't get rid of it when I'm approaching 40.

It seems that the only way for me to finish something is to have the task coming from _someone else_, from a friend or from work.
Not common. As in, strictly less than half.

I got my current job because a recruiter found me on LinkedIn. I participated in a “hiring day” that greatly increased my odds of getting an offer. Doubled my salary and it was an invaluable step for my career. I spent maybe 15 minutes setting up the profile after a few years of rolling my eyes at the platform. It’s worth it; much easier to get an interview than sending an application into the void.
>just wise job selection, a reasonable amount of financial savvy and budget adherence, and a deliberate effort to work on your career path

The "just" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. You seem to be saying that privileged people become successful, which is kind of a tautology.
To each their own, but that sounds less enjoyable than a traditional restaurant experience to me. As you say in your example, so much depends on the "implementation" in this case too — i.e. is the service at the restaurant good or not — but a talented waiter brings a lot to the table in more ways than one.
That's for deep water drinking wells. Baton Rouge and south Louisiana are going through that now, with salt water penetrating a fault line that was once considered a barrier. The industrial corridor along the Mississippi consume an unbelievable amount of fresh water, so the same lesson might not apply to most areas.

Pumping drainage and the ground water table is probably drawing salt water, but at shallow depths.
Not deep enough for actual water wells.
Yeah, I think that even while the Internet has connected us all it still means that we can only communicate in a limited fashion, which doesn't detract enough from the physical feeling and gain you get from having a tangible real world friend(s).

I have online friends, but we mostly only discuss topics from a range of things. You're also only hanging out in limited spaces (e.g. a game or chat room), so you're not being forced to experience random activities/things happening like you would have with a real world friend.
that to keep a large web application performant, you need to eliminate all redundant calls and operations, even in to pure JavaScript code

That will still only result in a performant, smooth 60fps application if you can do all the calls and ops that aren't redundant in less than 11ms (16.6ms per frame, but the browser needs about 5ms to update the screen). If you're trying to do more than you can calculate in 11ms then you have to start spreading things over multiple frames hopefully doing what's most important first. This is pretty much what React's concurrent rendering claims if can do for you. If it works well it really will make applications feel significantly better. As far as I know Svelte doesn't have a solution for that. It just hopes you can get everything done in that 11ms.

To be fair, 11ms is quite a lot of time on a modern computer, so unless you're doing some heavy calculation work that you can't move off the main thread to a worker you should be fine.

This should give you a pretty good idea. For example, Cyberpunk seems to run pretty well which is impressive considering how buggy the game can be even on Windows. Proton has been an excellent experience for me so far... And you can use it for non-steam games. It's just a fork[0] of Wine with DXVK and some other Wine "extensions" baked in.

The modern "consensus" seems to be that at such events, many if not most people do leave their phone in their pocket for a good first hour or so. So a basic awareness still exists.

Then comes the predictable ice breaker event. Somebody, as part of their conversation, needs their phone to show you something. The car they want to buy. Looking up a fact to settle your argument.

The first phone comes out, starting the phone avalanche. Everybody knows its ok now, and check their messages or whatever. The seal is broken.

The addiction is so widespread that we're still at full denial stage at society level.

Because the true reason almost everybody is itchy to pull out that phone is so bitter that it cannot be said out loud, but I will:

Whatever is on that phone, you find more interesting than your friends. And quite likely, because it really is more interesting. Because your phone can do anything and is full of surprises, yet your friend is not.

No, this is about how temporal information is stored in a memory and also pertains to how the brain can link different memories that happened around a similar time.

The suggestion this is the study that ‘discovered’ time cells in human is up for debate, but the headline is not egregiously misleading.
Honest question, why? The problem one always runs into in client side apps is you need various features like conditionals and looping when rendering your HTML. This has lead to a proliforation of templating languages that half-assedly implement these features. Moving to using a full programming language for generating your HTML removes the need for janky inconsistant templating languages.
Time and again it has been proven that the number one metric for success of a language or framework is developer experience.

Javascript was a meme language, but it was easy to use and highly accessible. Now its everywhere, in everything, including places it has no business being.

React has become that for frontend development. React is easier to use than Svelte. I got excited when I first learned of it, but its awkward to use at times and far more quirky than React.

As others have pointed out, that bleeding edge performance is only as great as what you are building. If you don't need to update the DOM multiple times a second, then it barely matters.
Interesting. Not sure I'd ever use it, but I wonder what the story is behind the data warehouses all having it but not postgres. Must be only used for data type queries.

> It is currently illegal to invest your Roth IRA in companies you are an officer/directer etc. As Peter Thiel was CEO of PayPal copying his investment strategy would be illegal.

As far as I know, this hasn't changed; it was not permitted when he did it either. The argument is that all of the activity after this initial prohibited transaction would be impossible to unwind. The typically penalty for things like this is tainting the entire IRA, which just isn't practical at this magnitude.

It isnt just cost that prevents a switch. Some building codes explicitly state Portland cement as the allowed material. Geopolymer proponents have been working to change building code to stating required material properties instead. Unsurprisingly, geopolymers have taken off in countries with less regulation.

An actual peaceful reunification is just not going to happen anytime soon, especially given how things are developing in Hong Kong. And if it involves the military, it's conquest, not a reunification.

It is all too easily used by populists to gather support based on an "us vs them" mindset. And (like personal pride) it can compel you to do self-destructive things to avoid losing face.

Providing AssistedInject Supported ViewModel for Composable Using Hilt
I was quite involved in the project around 2017-2018, and this is just what I feel, but I think the API is pretty much hardened at this point. Context was a disaster. Hooks are useful but more difficult to reason about compared to classes. They have said straight out that JIT optimizations don't work well when the main pattern was to heavily manipulate a singular state object, and that was a culture that I think they failed to change with Hooks.

If Facebook comes up with something else, I think it will be something new. Maybe that is Reason, or something that abuses WASM/Rust in the core architecture. Who knows. The project has a lot of tech debt, and the ecosystem has changed quite a bit as well.

That sounds great, fair to both sides, etc... until you realize that very few candidates will accept an offer with an employer that fires 10-20% of new hires after a month.

So realistically, in the current job market, you'll either have to deceive the candidate, and carefully hide this wholesome policy, or lose all the good candidates who have other offers and won't drop them to run a serious risk of being fired in a month.

Remember that "not getting along" may mean you don't (initially) jive well with the other team members, not that you aren't an adult. Only a naive (and inexperienced) candidate would believe that "it won't happen to me" if you really are letting people go so fast.

> the untaxed amount in an IRA should be capped.

Why? The money that goes into an IRA already has income taxes taken out.
I do wonder how far the pendulum will swing back this time. This kind of thing is exactly what Java programs were like in the 00s (maybe they still are, I haven't seen any for years).

The first problem with this is it leads to insanity. Remember those arguments developers had about style before we adopted auto-formatting? Those arguments will happen about what is and what isn't a distinct type.

But the main problem for me is the cost is too high for such little benefit. Understanding and maintaining a type system like that is hard. You are not going to eliminate all bugs. Wouldn't the effort be better spent on writing more tests? I feel like developers prefer creating more types over writing more tests because it's easier, though.

Some of these problems have good, practical solutions already:

> Good luck figuring all of that out from the following signature:
> CompletionStage<String> x(String s, int i);

I agree, but you could just use good naming: `fetchAddress(postcode, housenumber)`

> functions with two or more arguments of the same type

Use keyword arguments, ie. `kwargs` in Python or pass an object in JS.

> UUIDs as method argument, a customer uuid is not the same as an order uuid.

This contradicts the Universal part of UUID. If they're not the same then why use UUID at all?

> using a List instead of a NonEmptyList when at least one element is expected.

I'm not sure why this is a problem. An empty list is a perfectly valid list. It strikes me that what you really wanted to pass was an object, not a list.
The developer probably commented out the authentication begrudgingly because he was requested to do so.

If a user forgets their password or buys a used drive then they won’t know the password. It’s common in the hardware industry to be able to factory reset a device somehow.
I like the dining experience while in Japan. Restaurants have kiosks at the entrance taking order and payment. You select the order from the menu and pay right there (cash or CC). The machine prints a ticket and sends the order to the kitchen. You give the ticket to the wait staff. They sit you and begin to bring what’re in the order to you, drinks, appetizers, meals when ready.

Simple, efficient, fast, low touch, low tech, and no tip.
>"at scale" here means # of contributors, not # of lines or scope of code base.

I understood what you meant, I just disagree that this is a real consideration. Both are just UI frameworks following modern conventions in architecting your SPA code-base. From that point, both are just fine. Other considerations, like the fact that React is more popular and therefore more likely to be supported in the future, and therefore has more devs familiar with it, are way more important.

In software development this is a realistic goal if you play your cards right. Plenty of other careers too.

I think there's also statistical data to support this as well (hours worked early on increasing your income and net worth down the line).

It gives you a rough estimate of income, but should not really be trusted if your goal is to negotiate your salary because you've been checking out your co-workers income.

The salary shown in our skattelisten (tax list) is what's called the general income. That is: All taxable income, minus deductions. This means that the income you see in our tax list is going to be lower, than what it is in reality.

It could also appear much higher, if you've sold something which counts as taxable income, done consulting/side gigs, etc.

This is very true, its hard to tell if the company you are going to join is well run, or awful. Stories people tell about startup's don't help since it can normalize bad behavior and make it seem like that is the industry norm ( i.e. 14 hour days being standard, very low pay, toxic management ).

When I joined my first startup I had already worked in a large engineering firm for 5 years, and due to the nature of the work ( small team with responsibility to do everything from funding projects to delivering them ) I knew what kind of questions to ask to figure out how well run the company was. I think advice about how to spot well run startup's would be much better for junior engineers then telling them to just join a large public company.
