This is not true; Crypto as well as gold are not taxed by capital gains ever - they are considered special and treated differently on your tax declaration ("Einnahmen aus Veräusserungsgeschäften"). It just happens that the same tax rate of 25% is applied (if held for less than a tear).
Exactly. Setting up your GNU based embedded toolchains and make-files from scratch is something that hackers/hobbyists do.

In production, where you have deadlines to build firmware that is set to ship on millions of units, and your company's future is on the line, you just buy how many Windows Keil/IAR licenses you need, and get on with your work, regardless of how you feel about proprietary software.

How does this work? Do you declare that you have sold crypto at all, or you just sell after one year without notifying anyone?
The core difference is that von Neumann was a genius and did many, many things single handedly. I feel Musk is a businessman who would take credit for the work done by someone like von Neumann.
I think it's an interesting distinction, line vs staff, but I don't think it encapsulates the role of a dev at non-tech companies like myself. Certainly what I do is mission-critical on a 24/7/365 basis, and yet, I'm not working for "Thoughtworks" or a company that sells my expertise as a product. But nor am I "support staff" in the sense that a minor malfunction could go under the radar; in fact it could destroy a revenue stream if I slept on a bug.

The thing is that every non-tech company is now in some sense in the tech industry, whether they mean to be or not; a large part of their business is done online. As opposed to companies that specialize in building tech for other companies, many of them have nickel-and-dimed their way into their own hardware/software infrastructure and the maintenance of that has become crucial to their normal operations, to the point where instead of business logic dictating changes to it, it frequently dictates changes to their business logic. That puts independent devs for those companies in a kind of catbird seat to determine which stacks and which infrastructure are going to drive the next round of growth. Some people (like my friend who's a salesman for Salesforce) call this "technical debt", but really it's bootstrapping and the better and cheaper you can do it through indy devs, the better your bottom line.

So it's quite different than the normal software world, but it's neither what you're calling a staff position nor is it actually a line position.
dang can we flagkill this entire thread? The thread is mainly unsubstantiated character attacks with no supporting arguments.
It's slang. Maybe not tasteful or obscure but it is just an insult. You ever have someone attack you and call them a name? It's pretty human. Someone's life isn't defined by an insult he used years ago. You need to get over it...

I didn’t like that the article opened with an insult to all the other articles about salary or interviews.
> My main issue is the use of "toxic" coupled with the post's advocacy for helping others recognize when they're in a toxic workplace. My concern is that anyone identifying with the general stress described could then accuse their coworkers/managers of manufacturing a toxic work environment.

And they should.

A workplace is not supposed to be baseline stressful - and it's your manager's job to make sure it isn't. If stress is a constant part of your work environment, then your manager (or their manager, etc.) isn't doing their job, and that absolutely does create a toxic work environment.
maybe because crypto is supposed to be currency ;)

This is really strange, I am certain that when I submitted this (yesterday evening) I didn't get a browser bad cert warning, yet now I do. I have no idea what happened.
Counterpoint - in the UK, I can turn up at a hospital anytime and they'll look after me. The place is generally tidy, amenities are good, emergency services efficient, roads good etc. (I appreciate there's always exceptions to this). I can earn no or very little money and still be (mostly) taken care of by the state. My taxes cover this, and also cover those that can't pay. As such, life is (I expect) much better for those with less than it was a hundred years ago and society is probably happier and more stable as a whole.

I don't know if we have it completely correct and there's definitely a balancing act. There's also growing inequality. But what's the right amount of tax to pay? Not referencing you directly, but I often see crypto threads that call for the government to "keep their hands of my money" - and I wonder if these people would still say the same thing when their bins weren't emptied, or the roads were so full of potholes the lambo couldn't drive on them etc etc.
Its 21M, 210M is over 10 years with substantial part of that not vesting until year 8. That said it's still pretty rich given its not tied to shareholder value or business performance.
If you don't understand the code, probably you don't know what kinds of mental processes are needed to understand it. Maybe "recalling almost instantly infernally long minutiae of details" isn't actually among them. Maybe great intelligence isn't, either.

There's a whole genre on YouTube of videos of people doing day-to-day work with skills that seem utterly superhuman, with names like "Fast Workers #230" and "People are AWESOME 2020", like https://youtu.be/YmkPoiEcgJM. Actually, though, if you practice almost any skill every day for an hour or more, working diligently to improve, after 20–40 years your ability at it will seem superhuman, even if you're average intelligence or slightly below. (Unless it's a professional sport, in which case people will be mentally comparing you to Lionel Messi or Tiger Woods, and you won't get that good. Or a popular hobby like knitting.)

It definitely does not require 20–40 years of effort to understand quantum physics or code written in K.

Now, suppose that it were true that reading poetry written in Volapuk (or whatever) were a niche interest because of some essential feature of Volapuk that inherently limits it to a small group, rather than because learning Volapuk takes time that most people haven't put in, for the standard diffusion-of-innovations reasons. Would that be bad? Would it mean that people writing poetry in Volapuk had an "utter inability to 'read the room'"?

I don't think so—to attribute their choice to do so to such a cognitive handicap, you are presupposing that you understand their motivations, and that those motivations include maximizing the popularity of their creation.

But it should be obvious upon a moment's thought that plenty of poetry, and code, is written with no thought for participating in such popularity contests; it's written for an audience of one, or two, or forty-eight. Perhaps the majority of poetry and code. So writing it in Volapuk, or K, may actually be a rational strategy if it appeals to your intended audience—not an error resulting from a mental disability, as you claim.

People tend to have special feelings about the taxes they pay (or would pay) themselves.

Personally, I pay mostly income taxes, and I definitely feel that taxation should be shifted away form income over to property taxes, taxes on polution and taxes on resource consumption. (To encourage people to provide services to each other, and discourage them from buying physical goods that end up in a landfill within a few years.)
> a capital loss can be used to offset a gain

Same in Germany. It's a bit more complicated, because you can only offset certain asset classes against each other. Most prominently, losses in individual shares cannot be reconciled by gains in ETFs.
You want “ Blackout EZ - Total Sunlight Blocking Window Covers” (available on Amazon) which seal to Velcro strips that are mounted around your windows with screws, and a DIY hard shell window valence above that, plus blackout curtains over that just so it doesn’t look so stark. That’s what I do.
This is a dense read, being an academic journal article, but it offers a good dose of realism in the discussion of drones. Reporting on the war in Ukraine has tended to play up the value of drones, perhaps due to their novelty value (and perhaps also not wanting to talk about intel assistance from outside).
I'm so glad that in my country we build houses with ducts for cables, with two separate duct networks (one for AC power, and one for "telephony"), when it comes time to change technology we just push those spring-tipped cable guides through the ducts and then pull the new wire (or even just use the old outdated wire as a guide to pull the new one). I've installed Ethernet cables and even replaced AC wire (to a wider gouge or more phases) on rentals with no need for any McGyver shenanigans.

L5 autonomy is a absolutely a long way off (if ever practially acheivable) and Elon is a bullshit artist, but I don't understand your comparison to the halting problem. Could you elaborate?

I interperate your comparison to the halting problem to mean that even if we ignore the feasability of a particular solution, it is literally an impossible problem to solve.

My understanding of L5 is driving without external human intervention.
In one sense we already have the technology to do that - our brians. It would never be feasible (or ethical), but if we could put a human brain inside every tesla, wouldn't that achieve L5?

At the page level, Wikipedia is a great example of this phenomenon. Mathematics and engineering pages are usually well-written and informative. Pages for popular political topics are routinely locked and vandalized, and the content eventually reflects the same worldview you see in forums with low barriers to entry.
Science is not religion and contrarian opinions strengthen science results. I think it's healthy to always have a dose of skepticism, and is not uncommon for astrophysics papers to be retracted or refuted.
Sure he's arrogant but I wouldn't rank his accomplishments and person hood by tweets. He has an incredible record as an engineering manager and investor and to brush that off is just silly.
The difficulty of creating L5 autonomy and the provable impossibility of the halting problem are not comparable at all.

There is absolutely nothing fundamental that makes L5 autonomy impossible, while the halting problem is provably impossible, as normally formulated.

I don't know how close or far away L5 autonomy is, but it's definitely theoretically reachable, while the halting problem is always going to be impossible.
> You don't fire people like that unless they did something very very wrong.

That's assuming the firings are fully rational, and no self-interest was involved.

I can easily imagine a number of scenarios where Parag fired the guy knowing he had done nothing wrong in order to attempt to protect himself in some way.
Not sure this will be relevant to you but I didn't leave my job because it's my first one doing "software engineering" (started Q1 2021) job but my boss seems happy to pay me and never talk with me or assign work. Before I started I felt some things seemed odd, but I was happy to gain employment so accepted an offer. Pay is much lower than I'd expect even as a Jr. SWE in my area and especially vs SF Bay Area but I was happy to be hired and now I'm happy to basically be paid to do nothing for months now. I do feel a bit anxious about the lack of assignments, and I wonder how hard it will be to find a job after this. I think I know how to code at a workable-level, but it's very discouraging to be resume filtered so regularly I assume for having a piss-poor resume / no degree.

Re: plants as a grounding exercise, I would recommend people do this anyway even if they don't have a spiritual awakening or psychedelic experience, it's a lot of fun to learn about plants, in a way they become an addition to your friend group or at least, you can feel friendly about them, for instance there are many plants I know along my walking routes, and it feels nice to see and greet them. And a lot like dogs, they're not judgmental. Naming or learning the names of things can really help me be with them on their own, at least for plants, I might just look past them and not at them.
One of the top dev tools in the world is Microsoft's Visual Studio (not VS Code). It's doing fine. Similarly, JetBrains makes an incredibly popular set of closed-source dev tools[1].

Most people use dev tools as a part of their jobs. Employers buy tools for their employees. It's a good idea to make great software for developers and then to charge money for it so that you can keep shipping.

You might not hate react, you might just be holding it wrong.

A component could represent a discrete entity or thing you'd like to alter the state of. You might be able to handle that all locally in that component but beyond this limited case don't try to shoehorn state management into a view library.

I highly recommend spending a few minutes getting to know MobX which I think maps very well to the concept of business logic and state encapsulated (in one class if you'd like) and seperated from the view layer.

Two years if you live in it is not very different from one year. The 10 years for secondary houses is about preventing house shortages I guess. People need to be able to buy or rent a place to live: nobody needs to own cryptos.
It is possible, that Musk didn't expect the twitter deal to become as politicised, as it did. Maybe he just got afraid of getting into the center of politics in the US. For example the state is a major customer, and they could just stop buying launch services from SpaceX for example, as the president might not agree with the politics of Mr Musk.

I mean look at Bezos, he got into a fight with Trump, and the pentagon preferred Azure to AWS, all of a sudden. Yeah, and a year later that deal got cancelled too, by the next administration [1]. I mean Musk has a lot of business with Uncle Sam, he really can't play his own game, in terms of politics.

I mean, i mean, they really have a lot of 'leverage' with Musk, to begin with. I would guess that Musk would be looking for a way out of the twitter deal, in order to protect his business. Also the economy is going into a recession, therefore his deals with the various governments are going to be much more important. Look, there is even talk of Musk building an e-tank with a German firm, Rheinmetall [2]

His influence on Western politics? A big chunk of the Russian economy? Finnland joining NATO? His ability to divide NATO countries? That list is quite long.
Not that impressive, but something our society needs to grapple with: how left hemisphere’s distorted view of reality is highly functional in our cuurent way of life and especially around capitalism.

Much of that is addressed in McGilchrist’s The Divided Brain.

I don’t think Musk is a bad person, but he is displaying like many "high functioning" people in our current economic and political systems, signs of lack of empathy, hyper materialist views, etc.

Unsurprisingly left hemisphere dominant people (who are unbalanced), can do very well in systems that are designed by the left hemisphere and reward everything the left hemisphere is about (control, supposed knowledge of how reality works or is, power, inflated sense of self and ideas of being "self made" etc.)
> But maybe those projects should have been done in C++ (or ML or something) instead of Lisp in the first place, because the things that Lisp is good at are very much not the things C++ is good at.

Common Lisp was not developed as a scripting language like Python or JavaScript. It was developed for complex applications (100k to 10M lines of code were not rare - for example the PTC CAD system written in C and Lisp had 7 MLOC Lisp code already over a decade ago) and derived from a language with was actually a systems programming language: Lisp Machine Lisp.

Thus there were a bunch of ambitious projects initially written in Lisp and then continued in C++ (and also in C) for better performance on smaller machines, smaller memory footprints and less need to mix C and Lisp.
I was just looking for a "successor" to blitzmax for a basic dialect that had graphics/audio/network capabilities and could compile to multiple targets. This might be the ticket!

However, Apple platforms are not officially supported (or to put it more bluntly, "officially not supported"), and there are bugs such as this one[1]. I suspect it has to do with libc differences on Mac versus Linux. If you have experience with the libc differences between Linux and Mac, I'd welcome your input! I'm not an ngn/k developer, just interested in adding support for MacOS.

I was going to say "wouldn't BQN have dicts since it's trying to be a more accessible, modern, from-the-ground-up designed APL and dictionaries are pretty damn useful?" but then I noticed your username so I guess that answers that.

So now I'm curious: why didn't you include some version these features in BQN? They seem pretty nice to have!

EDIT: will you ever write a "let's learn BQN by figuring out how the self-hosted compiler is implemented!" article? I doubt I'll use BQN soon but I find it a fascinating, extremely interesting language, and I'm just super-curious how you implemented the self-hosting compiler.
That's charitable. That was a really long interview/behind the scenes. I also interpreted it mostly as being tired (he normally works obscene hours and around this time he was particularly burning both ends).

I think it's telling that he didn't tell Tim to scram or he even got that close of a look at all. If he wanted to get away, he could have easily done so.

The disparity is even more obvious in the pressers when reporters ask typical reporter questions, vs when someone (often Tim, but there are others) asks something technical.
I've been both staff and line at various companies.

The biggest downside to staff IME is that you are almost constantly reminded that you are a cost and at danger of being cut.

OTOH, the biggest upside is the domain knowledge, and in particular, how companies (ie customers of the line engineers) really deploy and run their systems, which IME is often very different from how the line engineers think they run them.

Line engineers tend to gloss over the myriad of external influences that affect how easy their systems are to deploy and integrate (eg how many FTEs doe it take to operate your systems, how long is an acceptable maintenance window for applying fixes, how long does it take to roll back if a fix fails, etc).

An experienced staff engineer introduced to a line team can be a huge asset, and will ask the right kind of questions, ie those that the customer is often most interested in.
disclaimer: developer, not tax attorney :-)

Our connected tax office figured out taxation concerning international transactions. Why and how different taxation rules apply depends on a couple of instruments and setups such as reverse tax charges, MOSS and others.

It basically burns down to fruits:

- charging the buyer with the applicable tax between fruits (company in Germany) and the buyer in country XYZ

- each buyer receiving an invoice (issued by fruits)

- the seller receiving a single credit note for all sales within that month targeting a German company (fruits)

We will have to clarify taxation as I can see from comments in this thread - thanks for your input!

The author’s point was that technology was making people stupider. They’re being told what to believe and their data source is isolated from reality so not only are they easily fooled by those who control the sources of information, they lose the ability to process data on their own, and they do it to themselves for reasons as banal as fashion.
