A great snippet of a Yegge article from 2008. I don't even use Vim, but your mindset seems pretty toxic and it's unlikely that your 95% is actually 95% when all of the sacrifices you have to make are taken into account.
It is sort of limited to the relatively well off just by buying power anyway. It doesn't have matching, but for lower incomes, the Roth limit is probably high enough for the money that is available to invest.
I was once tasked with creating a new frontend on an old project that had an API endpoint return something like this:

var array = ["foo", "bar"]

I was expecting xml or json (like the rest of the endpoints), but I realized that they just served this as text, and then eval'd it on the frontend...
It's gross negligence of the dev is only a Javascript dev, but maybe understandable if it's just one of the three languages he uses regularly. I probably wouldn't fire, but I also can't imagine any of my devs doing that.
Does this mean that I can contribute $20,500 personally, and my employer can still contribute more on top of that?

Putting more of your application logic in your database is great for DB vendors. Its pretty much impossible to migrate to a competitor.
Is it? I had read that it was dropped or being delayed a decade.
In investing your best asset is time. 401k is the best wealth building tool we have especially if you have a match and even more so if you’re a high earner and consider the tax savings. Even more if you have an HSA and understand it’s a 401k on steroids.

America is fabulous if you make a few deferred choices.
It's funny, I've had the opposite experiences. All my offers to have a 401k were in my early 20s, and now in my 30s I barely ever see that anymore.

Hey thanks for sharing this! Very interesting. It sounds in many ways similar to my first and second-hand experiences with psychedelics and stimulants.

Also very helpful to hear someone sincerely tout anti-depressants. All the people I personally know have had mediocre to bad experiences with them, so it's nice to hear the other side of it.
Just because something is useful doesn't mean it's not a hackjob.

Just looks at how PHP got so popular. Clearly it was useful and thus became popular. I think it's hard to argue that it wasn't a hackjob when it first started.

OMG. Sweet memories. I do not really play games but I spent countless amount of hours back in USSR Academy of Science playing Tetris on that DVK-1. Tetris to me is a form of meditation. My fingers know how to play and my mind can just float aimlessly ;) This was a pleasant payback as that DVK-1 had drank a healthy dollop of my blood when suddenly resetting in the middle of me writing a program when I was just about to save it.
I feel like those things are basically for small business owners. I max all that stuff out plus max the profit sharing limits for myself. Never had an employer come even close.
Yes. 20.5 is your limit but employer can match.

401k match is > than stock options in most cases long term. Of course options can be a lottery you win sometimes.
This is a tech forum. Many here got 6 figure jobs out of college and have been maxing their 401k since they were 21. I'm only 25, but certainly hope I won't be working past 55.

This math doesn't seem right. Deferring taxes gives you significantly more money to invest early and take advantage of compounding. Additionally, the model is that you pay off your home mortgage before retirement, which means you need to withdraw a lot less during retirement years, which lowers your overall tax rate as well.
No, but you can hit it via after-tax 401k contributions and then convert those to a Roth IRA (i.e., Mega Backdoor Roth)
I only get a 3% of pay maximum match. However I also have a pension paid entirely by the company in addition to that.

Can you give a log of using this product in a real session or such? I'm playing with it some but I'm finding it hard to find much use other than generating character and place names. An example of commands you entered would do a great job of demonstrating what it does.
As an example, Masten Space was created after SpaceX, but the ideas "build a little, test a little" predates both of these companies.

SpaceX has built on top of lots of existing ideas - commerce instead of government services, simplicity instead of performance, vertical integration instead of spreading orders, testing philosophy, re-use...
> you can reduce 8 hours of work to like 6 hours of work.

even if you assume this is possible, why would your boss pay you for the 8 hours when it clearly is possible to only pay 6? You end up back where you're started.

The issue here is that the income you generate from your job is not enough. I dont know what the solution is - but under a capitalist world-view, the only solution is to own more capital, get that capital to produce your income stream (dividends or capital gains or whatever), and thus, give yourself back time.

AKA, this is called retiring, and if you can do it early, you end up with a better life, able to spend your energies on activities you care about (such as making this game).
I agree, phases make sense.

I myself like to think of the situation you're describing as the coal costing the utility $15/ton or whatever while the rest of us pay that $100-120/ton to repair the commons.

But certainly different sources will become less viable at different extra costs, and perhaps for coal $15/ton might as well be $100-120/ton.
>so that's somewhat relieving.

well not really, all that means is that the surveillance company would need to augment the dataset with other features to get an accurate result. Also, I doubt they actually care about tracking you on a minute to minute basis. Knowing that you went to the pet store with 30% certainty, 4 times this year, is enough to pin you as a pet owner and send you pet-related ads. the same applies for an oppressive government. knowing that you went to a protest 5 times this month, with 30% certainly, is enough for you to get sent to a reeducation camp, or at least send some officers to surveil you and catch you in the act.

I hope I am working at something, just not the pointless stuff I have to do at work.
This immediately struck me when I was reading this article.

To be honest, this whole paradigm seems absurdly fucking efficient for the developers. But I wonder about stuff like

* What happens if the data model needs to change? If you need to move something from db["some/path"]?

* How is it coordinated at a larger scale, how does everyone know what is running and how it interacts with everything else - can you figure out what depends on an object? What if the data used by your Price(Security) object changes and breaks it?
I think it’s because upper middle class salaries have increased a lot and to keep the system solvent the limit has to increase.

Especially on the coasts people making 150k plus is not too unusual.
The concept behind the overton window is fundamentally rooted in the statistical properties of large numbers of people. It's not about what might or might not appeal to a voter, it's about what might or might not appeal to a large number of voters, where the effects of statistics mask the noise inherent in their individual foibles, and things coalesce to give you a sort-of clear answer.
What tools do people use for stuff like this? A python library? C++?
Sorry but this comment strikes me as incredibly ignorant. There are lots of good reasons to self host, chief among them reasons which can't be worked around - compliance and data sovereignty.

> No it isn't. Science and critical thinking is the way we determine whether a thing is bullshit.

I tried doing all forms of science in the entire world personally but it turns out I didn't have time, so some of it had to be handed off to quite a large number of other people and now we have to have a debate and evaluate each others hypotheses.

Who decides this? What happens when they get it wrong?
People who make complaints like that are privileging their own personal aesthetics over pragmatism.

Same mistake as the people who keep talking about perl being "dead" while they're deploying their production platforms on debian or red hat based systems and ignoring the fact that the packaging and release QA work for those distros is substantially dependent on - actively maintained by the distros in question - perl projects.

Keep in mind the only devices with M1 Pro/Max CPUs are currently battery-powered laptops (which in itself is quite a strange inversion!)

Probably the "high power" mode available on an M1 Max in a 16" chassis is doing just that. And maybe Apple will decide to treat some kind of new iMac Pro as more of a pro machine, and make it chunky enough to dissipate that sort of heat without needing much fan noise...

Well 22 then. That’s the typical case.
Why such a conservative rate of return? There is no 35 year period where the inflation adjusted return was below 7%. Why use a 5% real rate of return for this analysis?
The legislation eliminates all back-door Roth contributions, not just the mega ones.
There is absolutely no reason the law was written to limit IRA to $6k while 401k is $20.5k other than to give larger employers or other employers who can afford administering 401k an advantage over smaller employers who cannot.

A married couple with both working at companies offering 401k gets to save $40k+ pre tax, but a married couple with one spouse working at a local small shop not offering 401k gets to save half as much.
This would be the opposite of neglect. What we do is, comparatively, neglect since we let kids run around. Good knows a certain number of our children under two injure themselves getting into trouble while parents are distracted, sometimes fatally.
Some missing aspects:

- limit increases after 50, currently by 6.5k (more relevant with a different age range)

- the traditional and Roth $ contribution limits are identical -> you can save more via Roth

- employer matches are (I think always?) traditional
Hi! I'm someone who worked with a designer closely to create a style guide/system and a React component library (using styled-components) for our product.

I don't see how Tailwind would've made our job any easier, or the implementation any "better" than what it is now. So, I'd definitely love to hear a non-vague (most Tailwind CSS praise I find around is very broad strokes or vague) success story.

Like, concrete examples where Tailwind reduced complexity or helped DX-wise, (etc) would be really appreciated. I believe there's many others like me who think Tailwind is kinda cool and we wouldn't mind playing with it in personal projects, but would hesitate to choose it at work/production...

I love the productivity idea its trying to sell me, but it sounds a bit... Wrong to me? Maybe I'm just too "old school", even if I'd like to think I'm keeping up lol.

Uhhh yeah, like I said, middle-class earners.
Yes that’s exactly it. There may be other more complex scenarios where it matters too but this is the most common reason for it I see at least.

In other words, it’s hard to reach the true 401k cap even with huge contribution amounts from everywhere.
Not sure why people don't like this comment. It's correct. Whether you pay taxes on your income and then invest it, or invest it and then pay taxes when you take it all out the result is the same (assuming your tax bracket doesn't change.)

If you expect to be in a lower tax bracket when you take the money out, then invest pre-tax money. If you expect it to be in a higher tax bracket, invest money after you pay taxes on it. Obviously this is a very simple way of looking at it. But I think it's a good way to get a general understanding of the different options. Post-tax investments can be good if you need to pull out a big lump of money while retired.
> Yes, the snark is a real problem.

How would you preferred that I put it? I have no idea of your relationship to the putative elites that you're describing; I see no way that a random HN commenter can possibly have the kind of insight that you're claiming in describing how "they" "feel" about the "voices of the masses". So I tried to ask as neutrally as I could, without doubting that you might in fact really have some authoritative knowledge of this, so that you could let us know whether this was just you pontificating about people you don't actually have any real knowledge of, or actually real information.
Is it basically giving programs some automatic core affinity or are the unused cores meant to be unused until the first set are saturated?

I guess also, are the 4 unused cores always the same?
Unfortunately, a certain employee who was rightfully kicked out of Mozilla in 2014 made a few bets that paid off (users dislike ads, users are stupid and will love it if you offer them money, and they'll go crazy for security snake oil even if it actively harms them).

Firefox doesn't block ads because they're funded by Google and they have ads in their own browser. Nobody likes ads. Especially not in the browser. This contributes to the decline. Firefox doesn't advertise with security snake oil, and they beg for money a lot, which is the exact opposite of the model proposed by the only browser that's rapidly shot up in market share in the last decade rather than roughly stagnating.
In accidents that require the fire department, it seems not common that you could get to the rear seat with enough freedom of maneuver to follow that procedure. No doubt that's been considered, so what am I missing?
Now I feel kind of silly for not knowing that.
Python is literally decades behind. Dependency resolution is nondeterministic by default. The way you run a build is still not remotely standard (e.g.: I've downloaded the source of one of the top 20 packages on PyPI. How do I run the tests? Perl had a standard way to do that back in the '90s). Deployment is so bad that people recommend using containers as a substitute for something like fat jars.
I haven't heard of Pollen before. I don't think it was what I was thinking of. Thanks for sharing though. Pollen looks really interesting.

Extrapolating your experience in one online space to cover everyone's experience in every online space, as if everything, everywhere is your use case is either hubris or naivete of the highest order. Either way, I applaud your ability to climb to such heights!

There are so many other use cases and spaces that would benefit enormously from decentralization that I couldn't even begin to list even a small portion of them.

As for leaking IP addresses and DDOSing, that's only relevant if you are communicating with those who are potentially adversarial and definitely mean spirited. My use case doesn't include any of those sorts of people.

My privacy and PII are too valuable to me to allow others to monetize them.

And I don't care to share details of my private life with people I don't know or care about.

As such, decentralization (e.g., a Matrix server for my extended family -- which exists and works wonderfully -- except for the crappy upload speeds I get) is absolutely a valid and viable use case.

That you can't see past your own experiences and prejudices says much more about you than it does about centralization vs. decentralization.

As for your assertion that "decentralization has been tried and it failed" isn't anywhere close to being the truth.

It hasn't been tried at any real scale and hasn't gained a lot of traction because of the perverse incentives of asymmetrical bandwidth, user-hostile TOS and the willingness of companies to burn cash in order to stomp out/acquire any other group that attempts to compete with them.

tl;dr: You're talking out of your ass and it smells that way too. Yuck!
I talked about that. People who want to be above average aren't looking for resources, they're looking for social signifiers. There is zero reason these signifiers have to actually use a lot of resources. It's easy to set it up that way, but it doesn't have to.

I never assumed people have fixed minds. People have complex and ambitious minds. But largely these ambitions are social, and not material. Even "materialistic" desires are rarely about the actual material, they are almost always about the social significance of the material.
I do tend to keep my software resume focused on software things and it's good advice for someone with software experience to show, but I think it's probably a big miss to ignore the value of skills developed in most other industries. Even a barista job has arguably more relevant skills to a software job than programming does. People would like to think programming is the core competency of a software developer, but probably it's the things that your manager defines as your job that actually keep you in it. Things like showing up on time, communication, being subordinate, writing skills, ability to do mindless repetitive assembly line bullshit work for extended periods, working with idiots, working for ladder chasers/idiots, etc..
I don't mean for hosting custom images—I mean for using it as a cross-distro (indeed, cross-OS) very up-to-date, server-oriented package manager. That's most of what I get out of it, right now. It's currently, maybe, my favorite Linux package manager + package repository, even if that's not its core purpose.
Thankfully now we can set arbitrary power limit to my own CPU. I'd like to see benchmarks setup with same power usage.
Ideally you would sandbox this with:

1. No filesystem access

2. No network access

3. Input passed on stdin (or a pre-opened fd)

4. Output passed to stdout (or a pre-opened fd)

5. A hard timeout specified before the process is killed

Suddenly bam, dramatically safer.

> Some people are just natural authoritarians and any opposing views are "gutter discourse" whereas their own enlightened views have to be grudgingly admired.

Oh FFS. I am sure that you read at least some social media. I limit myself to Twitter and don't follow many people, but even there, my exposure to stuff that is "gutter discourse" is still more than I'd like, and it comes from every direction and ideology. I'm not talking about right/left stuff, I'm talking about people who really don't know what they're talking about but still insist on talking.
> This math doesn't seem right. Deferring taxes gives you significantly more money to invest early and take advantage of compounding.

No, the grandparent is correct. The tax rates and compounding are both multiplicative, so associativity leads to the consultation that only the tax rate at saving-time and retirement-time matters

Some basically give you a “bonus” (or even part of your salary) that is just given in the form of a mandatory 401k contribution.
