It’s somewhat of a tired point.

You’re right of course and Michael Burry made a great trade recognizing the CDO issue and bad incentives around reselling mortgages leading to banks giving mortgages to people that couldn’t afford them and not taking the risk directly.

It was also time bounded (he knew when the rates would change and they’d start to fail).

That said, people often use the “market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent” line as an excuse - basically to say they’re right about an “impending crash” on an infinite timeline. If you can’t predict it within a bounded timeframe than your prediction is useless and ultimately equivalent to predicting nothing.

In the case of the OP he was clearly wrong, and instead of updating is spinning it as he was kinda right anyway. I think that’s dumb.

It's hard to answer as it's very personal and there are other elements to take into account.

My first advice would be that if you can double your salary, do it. We don't know what tomorrow will be made of.

Also you don't mention work-life balance and quality of relationships with colleagues which to me is more important than interest in the product.

That being said, you can also keep interviewing and try to find a job which checks all the boxes.
This hasn’t been my experience at all.

As a candidate, take-homes have been great to work on from the comfort of my home with my own preferred tools without external pressure.

As a hiring manager, take-homes have bee preferred by all of the candidates that have been given an option to do a take-home or do a live in-person interview. Nobody wants the in-person interview when take-home is an option.

These blog posts that suggest asking candidates to spend a few hours working on a take-home problem is unreasonable are getting to be out of touch. In the real world, people can find a couple hours over the course of a week to do a take-home assignment. If someone is too busy that week, we can delay giving them the assignment until next week.

I don’t know your point. The west didn’t interfere. Great. Despite that some ex-republics did well after de sovietization/colonization and some did poorly. Some are utterly corrupt and inept others are doing relatively well for themselves. Leadership after liberation has enormous impact on how well they do.
I think this argument against low-code is based on a misunderstanding of how most companies are staffed.

Truth: in normal companies, there are never enough software developers to build everything that needs building

Consequence: tons of processes and people get by as best they can, their never-prioritized project languishing in IT's backlog, often manually processing things that could be trivially automated

Consequently this isn't about a choice between (traditional software development with all the trimming) vs (low-code). It's a choice between (nothing/Excel) vs (low-code).

And given that reality, I'd argue that moving to a well-integrated, gutter-guards-in-place, documented low-code system is a HUGE win for the company as a whole.

And sure, you can say "It isn't this or that" (that should be there in well designed software). But it's also a helluva lot better than what they were running their part of the company on before.
I have been in a similar position multiple times.

And I regret the times where I let money decide. It usually felt like "Ok, I'll just do this for a few years, make a boatload of money and then move on".

In retrospect it feels like I wasted those years. Life is so much bigger than a bank account. Time is priceless.

We use Redoc.ly (https://www.redoc.ly) which has both a self-hosted and a managed version. I like that it integrates with GitHub, generates API Reference docs based on OpenAPI specs. It also has a "developer portal" for user guides, generated from markdown. All-in-all makes it easy to publish great-looking docs.

I actually think Mail, VPN and password manager are three things that Mozilla should have done since day 1.

The three have one thing in common that is privacy and trust. They are also all proven profitable and sustainable business. Which they should have used to market it and generate some safe income.

Now that their product brand are damaged it is harder to built. Not to mention they now have a fewer user to capture those value.
So in this case a scam would be when you pay the price the author wants and not a scam is when you just take it?

I get that the pirates would be against NTFs that are the tech of future DRM systems, but they could at least be honest about it. They aren't a scam, or killing the planet etc. they are bad because they are useful for copyright.

except that Jewish Germans weren't calling for the genocide of Christian Germans. The premise was a lie, constructed to scapegoat the Jewish population for the Germans losing the Great War [1].

Banning people from calling for genocide doesn't apply to governments committing genocide to back up a lie. That's a pretty obvious distinction.

I'd suggest that rather than losing faith in democracy you could look to the spectrum of democracies and see where India's is failing. In the UK we have to turn to the courts to restrain the horrors that our government commit, more and more of late.

"Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time; but there is the broad feeling in our country that the people should rule, continuously rule, and that public opinion, expressed by all constitutional means, should shape, guide, and control the actions of Ministers who are their servants and not their masters." - Winston Churchill, 1947

Lots of different things to consider but would also factor in opportunity to learn: if you take that offer which doubles your salary, do you have opportunities for growth, either in leadership or from a technical stand point?

At one point, I personally took a short-term pay cut in order to join AWS, an organization I once really wanted to work with. Ultimately, the decision paid off, both financially and career wise; hard to put a price on working with great people, building great products, and stretching oneself.

Don't get me wrong, money is important and making that leap of 2x might be the right move for you, right now. That choice will also be advantageous when it comes to future negotiations. But if you are early on in your career, you might want to find a position that allows you to master your craft.

>... Compare the readability and editability

Indeed, I was wondering why not to adopt an approach similar to a Git repo where each leaf (document) is identified with a ref hash.

It could be used with a publisher prefix to segment the hash-space.

Basically, it's a repository of metadata. Each publisher could equally host the whole repo, but extend only their corresponding sub-repo.

The central entity could then maintain the publisher's name-to-id convenience xref and some search facility.
I like well-documented blogposts. Where the documentation / setup / code / schematics / etc. is clear and for everyone to see.

There are few things I hate more than posts where the author provides some half-assed instructions, maybe even omits very important things, and then when you try to re-create, it just fails to build halfway through.
What I don't get it back when Spotify had a.... non... Eletron? app, it was quite good. It was fast, searching worked and filtering worked.

freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose - Janis Joplin

i didn't read the article because i'm free to not have to ;) I know it's shallow but, to me, freedom is a road trip. Being able to drive across the country without having to get permits or passports or anything, just being able to move about is freedom to me.
No, it's quite clear in QFT that elementary entities:

- travel as unitary time-reversible non-local waves (propagate, interfere, entangle)

- interact as non-unitary time-irreversible local particle events (position, time, exchange, create, destroy)

It depends. If you have regulations that influence retention and audit trail etc it’s less easy to migrate.
>>LibreOffice lacks no features I would remotely consider using.

Yup. I use it all the time just fine, and set the default format to .XLS and .DOC (not the X versions which are bogus MS bastardizations of XML anyway) and I've had no interchange problems.

Over the last decade or so, I occasionally see some Excel feature that might be switch-over-worthy, but then the whole MS setup is so much of a hassle I don't bother — NO I'm not interested in a monthly subscription, NO I'm not interested in online-only or Online-First, HELL NO I'm not interested in a Microsoft Account — I just want a package I can install locally and run when needed.

Then, the next version, LibreOffice has that feature.

So, great move by Schleswig-Holstein and also very strategic - right to repair, right to not be held over a barrel by a monopoly, etc..

Let's hope it catches on.

(And now that I'm writing about this, I realize I haven't sent LibreOffice a donation in too long, so I'm off to do that now...)

I broadly agree with the author on Bitcoin, but I do not agree on what was said about the gold standard being bad.

On August 15, 1971, Nixon removed the gold standard from the US dollar. Using unilateral government power, he managed to stop the system from completely imploding from shock.

But...then what were the long-term effects? One of my favorite websites (except for language) is "What the ** Happened in 1971?" [1] It's a series of charts showing how until 1971, economic growth for everyone was about the same, including the poorest of society. After 1971, only the richest were seeing gains.

So what happened? I'll tell you what happened: our currency was changed from the gold standard to a free-floating currency. The rich were able to invest in other things, like land and capital, but the rest of us had our savings wiped out. We also did not continue see the income gains that we had been getting up to that point.

Edit: Added a mention about income gains that I forgot.
I love the moniker that crypto is just an ever growing bug bounty :)

Maybe it will work when GAI is writing perfect code…

Linux came a long way since then. For projects like this, Zorin would be a great way to start. But even a standard desktop like Mint would already be a very good starting point.

Don't forget that LTT is has two things that are not relevant for administration work: they try to game (which heavily influences their OS choice) and they need to figure out everything themselves. These cities can offer curated packages, the user does not have to figure out which package to use for what, the IT team provides them.

With those two things in mind, the LTT story shows exactly that this can actually work, provided there is support for the rough edges. Windows also has rough edges by the way.

I recently installed Ubuntu on an old laptop. Everything worked for a week. Then the touchpad stopped working.

There are many pages telling you how to debug a touchpad. I tried various incantations of installing, reinstalling, uninstalling drivers, one set or another. I ran some special commands to capture messages coming out of the touchpad - showing it actually, at some level, worked. Just didn't move the mouse. Nothing helped.

That it's even a thing to debug a touchpad is precisely what's "wrong" with Linux. Windows, crapware that it is, for me had never this kind of 1->0 failures. It's just all meh.

> You see the same in the military with endless acronyms.

The military take the abbr.hl. to the next level. But atleast the abbreviations are properly documented there. I guess the root is keeping telegraphy short?

On my last job it was so bad that it took like a year before you could follow conversations properly. Also old deprecated abbreviations were used for extra flavor. E.g. calling projects or departments by their former former name.
I think most of the people that have 3D printers do that.

But modifying a 3D printer is cheap and fast (in labor time, printing stuff is slow, but it's not work), while parts for any other use tend to take much more time designing and applying. So that ratio is misleading.
> These days, you install Linux Mint with Cinnamon and you are good to go.

This story is told since early days of Ubuntu. Reality still is not like that. As always, it strongly depends on what you do and what not. I'm using Linux as my main driver for 25 years, but still have a windows-install for certain tasks like gaming and certain hardware&software. And overall I consider the user-friendliness of windows still higher than linux. From my experience, casual task are working far better with windows out of the box than they do with linux. Though, this is of course not so much true for cases of heavy modification, as we have them in companies. In that case Linux seems to be overall better.

Bitcoin and fractional reserve banking are compatible. And a fractional reserve system based on bitcoin would be different than what we have now. It’d be similar to what we had before nixon took us off the gold standard.

Banks depend on reserves and rules issued by the fed, and those reserves and rules are subject to arbitrary supply changes.

It is impossible for a non sanctioned bank to get reserve notes or have authorization to create notes banks lend out representative of that (dollars).

In a world where fractional reserve banking still exists, but is backed by bitcoin, you’d have lots of “bitcoin notes” being created, NOT bitcoin. No one would be creating new bitcoin apart from miners.

The faith in a “bitcoin note” would be tied to it’s ability to be exchanged for actual bitcoin in a wallet address.

The benefit (or downside, depending on your perspective) is that a central government would not have complete and total control over the supply of reserves that the banks get, and if banks lent poorly, they couldn’t get new emergency reserves from thin air. They’d have to get bitcoin from someone or go under.

There would be a fixed supply of the underlying reserve that people pass around iou’s for.
As much as I want to support libreOffice, my experience has been the same as yours.

The whole office suite just feels so janky/stutter-y/not-smooth. Its like there are fps drops or slight pauses before many actions. It is quite irritating. Also on a hidpi/4k display, many things still do not scale properly.

This is the standard reaction I’ve heard so often from experienced Linux users, but you tend to forget all the trouble you’re able to solve because you know what you’re doing.
Consider proprietary graphics drivers - ordinary people won’t even know why that is an issue, where to look if the display flickers, or what even drivers are.
And that’s just the start of it… I’ve never had a Linux box that didn’t require me to open a terminal to fix something after a while.
Updates definitely break something sometimes, because the people publishing them are humans that make mistakes. Why shouldn’t they?

If you’re using a Thinkpad, you’re well of. Try a cheaper machine, and be surprised by exciting tinkering opportunities like fast battery drainage, issues connecting external displays, external printers not being recognised, or Bluetooth speakers not playing audio.

Imagine you were a Black woman born in late 1865. You were among the first never to have known slavery. You witnessed the first Black folks elected to Congress and even considered it normal.

Then Reconstruction ends with a whimper. Burning crosses are showing up everywhere. Thousands flee north as a reign of terror grows. Your voting rights are curtailed then eliminated. When Black folks are elected, they are driven out of office by gunfire, and the federal government does nothing. You were never eligible for the same jobs as white folks, but now you can't even drink from the same fountains.

Would you say that woman lives in a democracy/democratic republic or a fascist hellscape?

Then some legislation is passed. The folks wrongly accused remain in jail, the dead remain dead, and the ones who killed them are never brought to justice. The change is considered an injustice by many, who leave their political party in droves and welcomed by the other party in a "Southern Strategy."

Things seems to quiet down a little though representation in media either wholely excludes her descendants or disproportionately shows them on shows like "Cops". The history of that legislation is watered down and most of the details of what happened before are not taught in schools. Some public schools even have teachers arguing the authoritarianism was justifiable. See: Lost Cause.

Then a man with her skin color is elected president. Those same people who claimed that the presidency must hold certain moral and capability requirements are confronted with a man with all required qualifications and then some.

After his largely scandal-free tenure, those same folks, many of whom were alive and among those forced by the National Guard to treat people with his skin color as a human being, gave up all pretense to morality and competence in the presidency to elect a man who had neither.

And then we he lost re-election, they attempted to storm the Capital and kill those that would replace him. This was not quiet either. Folks brought lumber and BUILT a gallows where they chanted for the Vice President to be hung for his lack of loyalty to the outgoing president.

Did I mention the man with a knee on his neck for the better part of ten minutes, whose murderers would have gotten away with it had it not been for uncut civilian video footage of the event from multiple angles?

Or the woman shot in her bed with no one held to account for her death?

Or the literally dozens of instances off the top of my head where a police officer kills or maims someone ON VIDEO with only a slap on the wrist if that?

How about elected officials publicly stating that homosexuality or being trans should be a capital crime?

Or legislation popping up around the country that bodily autonomy is a fundamental right in law unless you are female between approximately the ages of 12 and 50.

I'll restate: racism and sexism and homophobia are all examples of fascism that haven't hit wealthy white men yet.

And unfortunately poor white men and white women in general have failed to recognize the difference between power and proximity to power. To everyone's detriment.
