While I agree, what we see practically is different.

Who in the world has genuinely condemned the Uighyur atrocities that China continues to this day?

China is wielding a lot of clout using its supply chain hegemony.

The problem with manufacturing is that you cannot spring up factories and upstream vendors in an instant. Costs lot of money and time.

For many industries, looks like China has captured a good part of the value chain. So, costs of setting up a semi conductor fab is compounded because you have to set up not only the fab, but the whole ecosystem of vendors and suppliers required to run the fab, not to mention the logistics to transport raw materials and the finished goods.

China has industrialized itself at the cost of developed nations (unlike industrialization in other nations, which was built from within). It has fast-tracked its way to manufacturing top spot with blatant IP copying, aggressive value chain development.
You seem bitter and frustrated. It’s clear in your text.

Part of that is understandable. They probably didn’t do a great job interviewing you. It’s probably exasperating.

But I can’t imagine someone who gets so easily frustrated writing about an interview would be great to work with. Because you could’ve just as easily criticized the interview process without bringing the exasperated tone along the way. With clarity and a measured response. But you wear your heart on your sleeve and it’s one of clear annoyance.

We have a pretty bad relationship with one of my neighbors. Not gonna get into specifics, but they're quite immature and petty and vindictive, and just generally not pleasant people.

Anyhow, late one night we saw something popup in the list when I was pairing my headphones. "$crappyneighbor's TV". And we saw an opportunity to be a little petty back for once. We connected my phone, and apparently their TV model features no confirmation because it went right through, and started blasting Rick Astleys "Never Gonna Give You Up" until my phone disconnected a couple minutes later. Bit of good harmless fun at their expense.

Stripe sucks so much as a company. For one, they classify all businesses catering to LGBTQIA+ clientele as 'Adult Services' and drop them as customers.

All definitions of the word "music" that anyone has ever come up with are wrong.

We only know what the word "music" means from our own subjective experience of listening to specific examples of music.

At most we can observe common features of musical items, and include a description of those features in a definition. But such a definition will fall way short of accurately separating what is music from what is not music.

There are other subjective phenomena that we have words for, but for most subjective phenomena we have _some_ objective understanding of what is going on.

Music seems to win the prize for being both very familiar _and_ very mysterious.

That sounds overly simplistic and a bit rude. I want to do the work I like, which happens to be writing code, and I don't really care about the business, management or accounting.

The economic concept of "rent-seeking" as it's used now has relatively little to do with rental contracts as they pertain to housing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rent-seeking

E.g.: "The classic example of rent-seeking, according to Robert Shiller, is that of a property owner who installs a chain across a river that flows through his land and then hires a collector to charge passing boats a fee to lower the chain. There is nothing productive about the chain or the collector. The owner has made no improvements to the river and is not adding value in any way, directly or indirectly, except for himself. All he is doing is finding a way to make money from something that used to be free."

Housing price inflation is definitely a trend across many developed countries. But it's not universal, or at least uneven. I haven't researched data for this specifically, but a broader trend might be the bifurcation of labor into creatives and non-creatives (or some similar rough dichotomy), with the former seeing faster income growth than the latter. Such a phenomenon would readily explain housing price inflation while also being an obvious consequence of globalized labor markets depressing most strongly income growth for non-creatives.
Might makes right.

You can't "just stop" unless everyone does. But if there exists any competitive advantage to cheat and not stop, then those who do will become more powerful than those who don't. There definitely exists a competitive advantage to burn cheap fossil fuels since we get to externalize and socialize the negative consequences on everyone while privatizing the gains when we do.

No, it doesn't solve the TCP port isolation problem. (But Docker doesn't really either. Linux network namespaces should, but nobody bothered to develop tools for that yet.)
I'm not hopeful about this, honestly. Independent contracting sucks, and you're mostly treated as an employee without any of the legal protections of an employee.
Here's my own little story. (not as bad as the OP)

About a year ago, I was reading Byrne Hobart's excellent newsletter on financial stuff (no affiliation, but it's well worth its money), and I see an ad where they're looking for a head of strategy.

To apply, you simply had to email John Collison (the youngest of the Collison brothers) with your idea about it.

I thought I had a shot, given my experiences, and decided to spend several hours to prepare a memo, that I shared with them.

Of course, I thought, after all this work, and considering that this candidature comes from a respected, still niche, newsletter, and given my resume and past experience (ex AWS - first hire in Europe in 2008 -, ex VMware, etc - I'm not trying to beat my chest here, just stating that I objectively had a good resume for a position like this), at least I should get one chance to interview, or worst case, a simple but kind "we saw your note, not interested, good luck".

Of course, as you can guess, I've never heard back. Reached out again after a couple of weeks, and still nothing from them.

Reached out to a friend who works at Stripe, asked him if he could help with my application. He says he will try, but then... nothing.

Ok, Stripe, I guess you won't have me.

Side note: compare that with how I got my job at Amazon Web Services, back in 2008 [1]. Completely different experience.

Eventually, after I gave up on this opportunity, I decided to make the memo into a blog post [0], omitting or tweaking a few minor details. It might be worth a read, and I would love to hear your thoughts on it.

The point of taking a copy of the repo is that you don't have to use git itself to get back to a known state, which is important when it's a tool that you're experimenting with and you're not sure on its use.

There's also a psychological element to it. If you can verify for yourself that the repo can't possibly contain anything that would mess you up after an earlier mistake, it's much easier to do things than if you have to worry about using the wrong branch name when you don't know how to delete branches, for example.

> I don't understand how these are comparable

They fulfill similar business functions - allowing you to run the same code on a bunch of dev machines and on prod (modulo modifications for e.g. database storage in Docker's case). Nix people get hung up on the fact that Docker runs containers, but it doesn't really matter that much. Often Docker is the shortest path to getting software running on multiple machines reproducibly.

> I also don't understand what you mean by "bindings"

I am referring to derivations and modules. Both are glue that you have to write for existing software that is already packaged. With Docker you leverage the existing packaging ecosystem like pip or apt. The packages are already written for you, and you can follow the installation instructions from a project repository and they translate seamlessly into Docker.

For example with ML & Python - If you want PyTorch with CUDA support, you can follow the official documentation [0] and basically copy and paste the installation instructions to a Dockerfile RUN statements. If anything breaks you can file an issue on the PyTorch issue tracker which has a wide audience. With Nix you have to write glue on top of the installation yourself, or a maintainer does it with a much smaller code review and support audience. Sometimes the audience is just the author, given that Nix project people commit directly to master frequently and do self-merges of PRs [1]. And there are other hurdles like compiling Python C extensions, which are pervasive.

Another example is with software systems, I guess this would be a Nix module. Here's GitLab: [2] where it was really difficult to translate the services into Nix. But a lot of company internal services can look like GitLab with a mix-mash of odd dependencies and languages. And writing a Dockerfile for this is much easier than Nix, since you can copy from the existing README specifying the Debian or language-specific dependencies. (edit: and if there are conflicts between dependencies of the services they can go into different containers. Getting the benefit of Nix - reproducibility - without the extra effort.)
