At what standard living? I somehow doubt that any UBI is going to provide more than a poverty level of existence. I'm not trying to live in a hovel with three roommates so I can avoid paid work.

If the UBI was enough to provide a good standard of living, it wouldn't remain that way for long as the inflation would hit incredibly hard probably very quickly.

I mean, for the people in this case it seemed like that they communicated that they relied on the database access in writing somewhere that was the issue.

Surely if they, by (supposed) conjecture, figured that the company might do better if people are more dependent on phone calls in lockdown (a reasonable assumption), and there was no evidence to the contrary, how from a technical basis would it look any different from someone simply going "oh yeah my company looks like it's gonna do great, I'd recommend getting some shares"?

Your example is an extreme example; one that’s hard to find patterns from.

I think lawyers/accountants would be a better examples. Independent units of work, but different levels of effort give different results as well. Very similar to programming and familiarity with the specifics matter.

There are a lot of opportunities for decoupling of tasks for software engineers that are ignored because of that line of thinking.

Yes, on boarding members to a team is time consuming, but the deadlines that are pushed rarely matter in any real sense. I can’t remember the last time anything I worked on would have had a material difference if we shipped two weeks later. (Cutting off scope creep isn’t a valid reason for deadlines.)

So I see it mostly as this is just how it works mentality.
I think the "young man" part throws it off. Re-read without it, and the joke seems clearer.
This idea is similar in principal to turn of the 20th century diesels. They didn't have a way to create high enough fuel pressure to run true direct injection so they mixed the fuel with high pressure compressed air to deliver it to the combustion chamber.

One thing that stands out to me is the reliance on electronic systems to enable such advances. One part of me looks at old technology like vacuum advance ignition timing and automatic transmission accumulators. Or even a WW1 era naval torpedo. While I realize and appreciate what computers can do, I think modern engineers take them for granted. Look what can be accomplished without computers. You can literally build a "computer" out of kinetic moving parts... so I'm not entirely sold on the notion that you need to wait for advanced enough computers to accomplish something.

If you can define a physical output based on physical inputs in an algorithm and feed it to a computer you; have to be able to duplicate that algorithm purely mechanically also.
>The paradox itself is that if the universe is both infinite and eternal then we shouldn't have a dark sky

I've never really felt like I understood the paradox, since the way people explain it, it sounds to me like they're just denying the idea that an infinite sum can have a finite value.

Like, why couldn't the brightness of the sky in an infinite universe be any value at all, depending on the density?

The argument against an infinite universe that makes sense to me is that it would collapse on itself. But as a thought experiment, the stars could be massless and/or fixed in place.

I disabled the issues of most of my projects.
Over the years I have observed that people who actually contribute value, do not need the issue section. They will directly open a PR with a change or at least some code that explains their problem.

People started arguing with me about this topic. But these where never the people that actually contributed to any open source project that was not their own, so I do not care at all.

I opened the discussion section so people can actually discuss there, without wasting the time of the maintainer.
Many Americans in the comments here acknowledge that the admissions system in the United States is broken and prejudiced, and then continue on to celebrate what is otherwise a band-aid for a systemic disorder.

To me, standardized tests like the SAT scream "our education is so inconsistent across our country that instead of attempting to improve it we simply ignore it and focus on an entirely different artifact."

Standardized tests are good for one thing: measuring how good examinees are at taking standardized tests.

I don't think you can just claim that MBA generated the idea of SaaS nor that MBA (or tech staff)in general generate that type of novel idea constantly. Now you different can argue that one of those two groups is absolutely required to produce a SaaS product and I think its obivous which one of the two groups is optional. I don't think MBA's are useless but its happens to be my experience. That very often where a non-technical manager is attached to the project and they are kinda useless because they lack the insight to contribute but a given more authority that the people that actually know whats going on. I've found non-manager assistants are often way more productive at getting the actual adminstrative tasks required done as well.

Yes, and Doctors are the most valuable segment in the world, a bit more than bankers. Because while bankers have $ to spend on consumer stuff, it's a bit hard to target them with financial services. But Doctors are gateway to the entirety of Healthare.

There are companies that specialize in how Drug Sales teams are organized - who to target, what regions. That's 'very valuable'.

Literally just ads for drugs. That's it. If Pfizer had a tool that was used by 10% of Doctors, and literally just slipped in some sponsorship, it'd be worth a fortune.

No doubt everyone involved would be wary of a 'drug recommendation engine owned by a drug company' ... but that could be mitigated. And frankly, some 'bad actors' wouldn't care.

There are ample opportunities.

If I were a VC someone came to me and said 'I have a tool that Doctors really like and 2% are already using it on a weekly basis, and we are growing and this could be 10% or more in the future' ...

... I would just write them a check.

So long as the CEO was not insane, and they looked legit.

It'd be worth a fortune.

That said, it's hard to tell if it's that kind of tool.

That said, my 'spidey sense' says there are big opportunities there because Doctors and Pharmacist are overwhelmed, but it's probably a hard problem, and there must be other participants.
TSO is only enabled for processes using Rosetta, so if you want to use it you’ll either need to hijack an existing process or expose it via a kext that patches in the appropriate flags. TSO is also only one of the puzzle pieces for why Rosetta is fast: you’ll also have to figure out how to avoid a software MMU if you want similar performance. This is difficult for whole-system emulation.

"has a faster startup time"

Just as an idle muse, I wonder if that's true. Java's startup time on a 133MHz Pentium running on spinning rust is one thing, JS starting up on a multicore multigigahertz monster backed by an SSH is quite another. I wonder if the WASM startup really is any faster than Java in some absolute sense?

Kinda like how "Go has a fast compiler" if you compare it to modern compilers on modern workloads, but is beaten handily by Turbo Pascal... as long as you don't mind that the output of the Turbo Pascal compiler is a wee bit out of date.
This almost sounds like it could have been a side project that could last a while longer but rather he had contracted out work and ran out of money fast.

I've asked similar questions to people who hold this view of "standardized testing is racist". While I never got a direct answer, I could infer or "read between the lines" that they are not oblivious to the seemingly glaring contradiction to some of their solutions to racism, its just that when it comes to equality--the ends justify the means. Groups whom have previously enjoyed privilege with college admissions (whites and Asians) may endure some injustices and discrimination during this transition phase to equality. Other minorities dealt with this for so long, it's no big deal if some applicants with perfect SAT scores get cut because they are Asian.
For thousands of years, slavery was ubiquitous. Empire after empire embraced it and used it.

The British Empire, like those before it, profited from slavery.

Then, they virtually extinguished it. Their navy was used to stop the slave trade on the seas. It was outlawed in lands controlled by the Empire. Piratical nations who conducted enslavement raids were supressed.

It took decades and multiple reforms, but the picture of slavery before the British Empire and after are radically different.

> If you work in tech, and live in the UK / USA / Canada / Aus, then you literally owe everything to the Empire.

Um, what? First of all, 1776 was 246 years ago. Saying that we owe it all to them implies that we get zero credit for what we've done since then.

Second, when the US left the British Empire, was the US more democratic, or less? It was more. The US revolted in favor of more democracy (among other things); attributing all the democracy we have to the British Empire is rather a distorted perspective.

Third: Why single out those who work in tech? We didn't derive much of our tech from the British Empire. Sure, they kind of got us started (including in computers). That was decades ago, though (the crossover was probably around the time of Univac I). Not giving any credit to the US invention of the transistor, and the chip, and the CPU chip? Again, that seems like quite a distorted view of history.

Test taking is a skill, and some people are much better than others. Good test takers understand how test takers make questions, and can use context clues and things we know about how answers are worded to get a higher score than if we were just answering the questions based on how well we know the subject itself.
> There's this idea that capital is "lazy" and people who risk it doesn't deserve the rewards that come with such risks.

No, you are confusing capital with work: you can tell by looking at which of the two is subjected to much higher taxation, which is the concrete evidence that society judges the people doing it as less deserving of retaining the rewards that come with it than the less-taxed activity.
What if you started your UX process away from a computer?
Hmm interesting.

Considering memory corruption vulnerabilities have been pretty much the vast rarity in the OpenSSH codebase, and other classes of vulnerabilties have been more common, I'm curious to know what you're doing to address those classes of vulnerabilities as well as support for other best practices like SSH certificates? [2]

I think I see the appeal of an entirely memory-safe OS running an entirely memory-safe SSH implementation because if we're talking about eliminating that class of vulnerability, you might as well go the whole hog - I just don't see that close to the point of being battle tested yet nor taking care of stuff like side channel attacks or tricking people into thinking their TOFU isn't smelly. I like your project because I think that this stuff is important, I think it's just like "how do you improve on the original" may actually be more than just eliminating one class of vuln.

An undergraduate business degree as a primarily academic pipeline makes some sense, similar to an undergraduate art history or econ degree. I really grew to appreciate how much real and important research is happening under the "business" umbrella (organizational behaviour, marketing, leadership, etc.).

Other than that though I totally agree, I have no idea what market value an undergraduate business degree offers.
> The totally overlapping error here was assuming those things—making the world better, and making money—aren’t inherently in conflict

They're not in conflict. Competition makes better products. Apple benefited from Microsoft's existence, and vice versa. There's a lot of great free software, but it comes from people who already earned enough to spend time on it.
But you've now swapped out part of the authentication. If you want to claim that, for some threat models, "One password per server" is better than "One key" then, sure, so use "One key per server" and now keys are better again.

Also - I suspect this Caddy server doesn't support it, but OpenSSH does - you can use FIDO and then the keys physically are objects in the real world, from say Yubico or a dozen other vendors so now "losing the keys" is like losing your office keys, except that when they give you a new one they can trivially make the old one stop working.
Let me rewrite your comment:

Doctors are incentivised to provide better healthcare. The incentives are not directly financial.
Howso?

If the universe is infinitely large and old, and light works as well believe it does, then light should come from all directions. That's the entire point of this paradox.

Light as we know it moves without limit. If anything is blocked by it, the blocking object would heat up until it glowed just as brightly.
Great to hear, and nice work with the project so far!

I think it definitely makes sense to focus on getting the minimum viable feature set ready first - the only reason for suggesting certificates was it seemed like the kind of area where a caddy-based setup could really help simplify the process for users, and make it easier. Users hate trying to manually define quirky configs, but I could see some well-thought-through caddyfile syntax based on extractors and pattern matching with some useful defaults proving very useful for a range of scenarios that would make it very quick to deploy.

Things like "fetch the username from this field, let the user log into anything with that username", then expanding to say "... As long as the server thinks it's in a group that the user certificate lists", and "let them log in as any user, but only to hosts in a group listed here in the certificate". With user, group and hostname you likely have a lot of what people would need, aside from sane defaults like checking expiry and validity, checking signature on the certificate, and some kind of usable revocation checking, which is always an annoying pain point for any long lived certificate-based system, but which a system like caddy could make into child's play!

There are degrees in engineering management actually. You can get a MEM instead of an MBA for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_management

But that kind of engineering is usually not the software engineering one. SENG vs all the others are pretty different in many ways, because the limits we deal with are more abstract mathematical vs. objects set more in hard sciences. Physical limits are mostly around information theory, the speed of light, algorithmic running time and how many people / data centers can you throw at a problem and people only really start thinking about that when the projects get big, which are not most projects. The vast majority of software is about equivalent to building single family houses, which often do not involve a single engineer at all.

Many engineers have a common core curriculum that has physics, circuits, chemistry, fluid dynamics, etc that lets them feel like they can relate to other engineers more and find software a somewhat alienating world with different personalities, requirements and cultures.
Decent companies will correct this, mediocre companies will exploit this.

Decent companies don’t want to turn a new employee bitter and so will resolve this; not always by paying it, but definitely by taking it seriously. Compromises are always possible.

If it wasn’t a huge hiring bonus or something like that, the better companies will just pay it to keep the new employee happy.
