They handle paying vat and sales tax for you. Your customers purchase from them. You make a single b2b invoice to paddle.

That said their API is very basic and their UX is not on par with what you can. A lot of operations are not possible (eg. Letting users change their billing details, such as company or personal, vat number, etc)

They also won't migrate your credit card data if you're too small.

www.getrevin.com looks like a much better alternative: they basically create a stripe account and add you to it. You integrate with your their stripe account and they pay you, same as paddle.
Ha, I hit this by accident a couple times a year, then have to fix it in settings because I can never remember what the combo is.
I'm unsure about library support, but gcc and clang support function multi-versioning (FMV), which resolves the function based on CPUID the first time the function is called.

If you think it’s fair in an “economic” sense, consider that Amazon employs 1.1 million people. That’s a decent sized city and a very complex economy. Austin Texas for example is about 10% smaller and home of both Elon Musk and a large number of people who could be making more money at amazon’s lowest paying job.
GCC has offered Function Multiversioning for about a decade now (GCC ~4.8 or 4.9). GCC 6's resolver apparently uses CPUID to resolve the ifunc once at program start: https://lwn.net/Articles/691932/ .

Mobile techs coming to replace small things like filters/charge ports/etc are great if you are in range.

If you have an accident and are waiting months on a body panel - not great. In this case your insurance probably helps with a rental.

On other warranty type service, being stuck with $100/day Uber credits for a week or two since its near impossible to secure a loaner at the NYC area service centers sucks if you bought a car because you wanted a car, not an Uber. I went into service center in 2018 for an annoying rattle on delivery, ~2019 rear motor go out, and ~2020 HW3 upgrade. Mobile techs did a 2020 charge port repair and 2021 air filter replace/duct cleaning.

I do have some glass work I've been sitting on since 2021 because I don't want to deal with being carless for a couple days.

So lower maintenance than an ICE, but in under 4 years I have have 5-6 service interactions of which 2 were show stoppers.

> "The market" is amoral

Yeah, exactly. Fairness in the marketplace is purely a math problem, no morality involved.
A significant usage of stable coins is also as margin for crypto derivatives contracts.
This is a hard subject to discuss because there’s a ton of fud and unintellectual nonsense (e.g. people who want hyperborea or Atlantis to have been real industrial civilizations.)

There probably wasn’t some industrial level civilization as we know it. But there’s 200,000 years of human history and the there was another ~20ky period like ours 120,000 years ago in between ice ages. Humans migrated across the old world at this time and they likely had societies we’ll never know about.

I try to envision ways they could have achieved cool tech but primitive. So maybe there was no industrial civilization but maybe some mystic religious society devised some way to do computation (if we really wanted to we can build do computation with water and irrigation) and learned a ton about the universe.

My hot take is we do man a disservice by saying civilization began with writing. There were certainly societies that learned lots of truths about the universe and passed them on via memes and superstitions.
It’s true that in production, if it’s a security risk that IDs can be guessed, don’t make them predictable. But by that same logic you would have to stop using REST because it can let you guess an ID?

This advice is classified as varies by context because it doesn’t always apply. In test cases, predictable behaviour is better than randomness. There are exceptions, of course. Chaos monkey, fuzzing, and literally testing algorithms for uniform randomness, etc.

That said, you could get the best of both worlds if you used MD5 HMAC to create a UUID from a predictable number and a secret preventing guessing. If that’s your goal…

Of course, the secret could be trivially reverse engineered with MD5 if someone knew the ID number and algorithm to generate it, but I’m not sure we have the patience or need to use PBKDF2 or similar to create predictable, unguessable ID numbers… after all, it would be just as easy to use regular guessable numbers and put strong authentication so it doesn’t matter if you guess correctly.
The vast majority of places that use .NET core (or .NET 5.0/6.0) are places that used to use old .NET and use Windows for their dev environments.

You would be really limiting yourself if you look for a .NET job without Windows. I am sure they exist but it's probably something like 95%/5% windows/not windows.

I am not really sure why you would want to use Linux/MacOS for this though. The dev experience for .NET is very consistent between platforms if you don't use Visual Studio.

Using VSCode, Rider, and the dotnet CLI, I have developed on MacOS, Windows, and Linux without noticing many differences.

I use a Mac, and I have tried Minikube, KinD, Rancher, and also running a VM. And of course, I have Docker Desktop. All of these have failed for me as long-term solution, for the simple reason that they consume way too much CPU and RAM. I would not recommend them on macOS at all. The Kubelet and API server processes are designed around very inefficient polling that easily consumes a whole core even when completely idle.

These days, I use hosted Kubernetes (via Google Kubernetes Engine), which means my poor laptop isn't burdened by any of this stuff. It's great; I can just create a namespace and load it up with whatever I want to run, and the cluster will automatically provision everything. I have to be online, but I've been been in a situation where this has been a problem.

GCP also has some powerful features you can't get locally, like load balancers, automatic DNS provisioning, automatic TLS cert provisioning, virtually unlimited CPU/RAM/disk, and so on. Another added benefit of this approach is that it's trivial to give shared, public access to everything. Sharing a process with colleagues is also easy.

Using Google's Kubernetes is particularly smooth because the cluster is set up with GCP's "autopilot" mode, which is basically a smarter control plane; it's preconfigured to dynamically scale the cluster according to the workload, including CPU/memory requests. Need to run a pod with 16 dedicated cores and 32GB RAM in order to do some temporary stress testing, for example? Just declare that in the "requests" part of the pod resource, and you'll have a dedicated node in a minute or two.

Admittedly I don't run a "live" develop-compile-run-debug cycle of any application this way. Maybe it's possible, but I haven't researched how. Personally, when I want to develop on a single app, I just run the code locally, and set it up to connect to the test cluster using a VPN.

This is seriously I've of the best articles on project management with dev teams. It highlights tons of the important things without sugarcoating how dynamic and next the whole process can be. I was a tech lead at my last job, and it became mostly project management in a hardcore scrum environment. I definitely stumbled transitioning between the roles. I'm gonna pick up your book recommendation too!
Maybe you can help me understand your argument better. If the Schrodinger equation describes a density of universes, doesn't that undercut the argument in the blog post?

Edited to add my understanding: if the cardinality of the multiverse is uncountable, one has to talk about densities of branches. In that scheme, the problems which branch counting introduce do not arise.
We set the context in which these forms can operate though. We can decide that forms who pay >10m in comp to individuals are by definition not contributing to social well-being… they must be exploiting some assymetry, rent seeking etc. We don’t have to work out how and why in each case… just that in balance that is almost always the case and so we make that behaviour economically unviable through taxation.
Try to debug where your compile times are going[1][2], but if you want a good rule of thumb: separate your crate into multiple if you can (that way incremental compilation will yield better results), switch to an alternative linker, like mold or lld, and use trait objects instead of generics (monomorphization can be expensive during compilation, while trait objects can be slower at runtime, but not enough to be worth it worrying about it).

A simple solution is to do a b2b company only and thanks the EU for complicating the situation so much. Another thing I used to do was to just sell to everyone except European customers (explicitly written on the website).

The funniest thing is that the EU ostensibly did it to make "Amazon pay their fair share" while most small merchants that used to run e-commerce have moved to sell on Amazon or eBay just not to have to keep up with all the regulations and bs.

Alan White of Yes (and others) has died at 72 s well. Ray Liotta has also died. Not a good day for older famous people.
Not really sure this would work. The problem with physical commodities is that you actually have to store them somewhere.
I agree, and I think the argument "well most of it is stock" is also bullshit. Comp is comp; warehouse workers could be granted RSUs, but they don't (afaik) because reasons. Every dollar he's compensated could be compensation elsewhere. Every share; to someone else.

A classic counter-argument is "well who gets to determine what is fair". I'd counter that with: who determines how much value he, inextricably and uniquely, has added to the company? It's all a farce. No one actually knows (but, oftentimes, the people at the top have bunk reports to justify their position, a privilege line workers don't have).

We need a law which at least begins to lay the foundations for something like: the total all-sources hourly-adjusted compensation for the highest compensated person (employee, contractor, anyone) in any company cannot be more than 1000x the lowest. Regardless of the specifics, the thing I love about that wording is: Amazon absolutely could not afford to pay all of their people $212,000+. But by them saying that, they're in-no-uncertain-terms saying that they're totally unwilling to lower Jassy's comp; drop it to $65M, and now lets try again, can you really not afford to pay everyone at-least $65k? Big Boy Jassy wants a raise, you gotta find the money for everyone; and if you can't, is he really doing that good of a job?

"The talented execs will leave" and go where? Europe? China? Good! The US has massive talent at every traunch of a typical company. Get out! There's dozens of people inside your own company who could do a better job in your seat than you, for a tenth the price, and the only reason they're not sitting there is the gatekeeping every board and exec team participates in to defend their throne.
> if you dont care about performance or features

Bingo! If you are a manufacturing company, you care about two things:

1) does this software do the job I need?

2) does this software cost less than the value I get out of using it?

If the answer is "yes and yes" then -- congratulations! you made a sale!

Sure, if some other company comes in and says "hey, I can do the same job, but cheaper," the customer would listen. But so long as the software works good enough, then the externalities of support contracts, billing, "enterprisey-stuff" may matter more than features or performance.
Same here. Was project manager before now product manager and would never go back.
As project manager I was only looking after budget and timelines and creating gantt charts for management. As a product manager I read market analysis, run customer research, talk to partner companies, run workshops, create a vision and discuss various potential solution with dev teams and others.

I think the role of project manager is dying for a good reason. Developers can organize themselves and it is more important to have that leading person motivating the dev teams with interesting problems while respecting them -> my approach. The rest is shared between product mamager, senior developers maybe some shared delivery lead resources or the engineering manager.
IMO...value. I personally feel like it's always easier for founders to stay on when their product provides actual, tangible, objective value. It clearly shows that they (the founders) sort've know their market, and know what they're doing (to some degree). When that's the case, I feel investors are happy to get out of the way and watch their equity rise. Whereas when a service isn't providing any real differential value, it's a lot easier to try to swap out the founders for the MBA/finance/corporate type that doesn't really know the market/audience.
One can speculate and find many ways that thinking too hard would increase cancer rates, although none of these speculations are strong enough to be actionable.

For example, thinking harder leads to greater metabolic activity in the brain, and greater metabolic activity can increase the risk of cancer. Therefore, thinking harder increases the risk of cancer.

Thinking hard can be associated with increased stress, and increased stress can cause the induction of endogenous viruses, which can themselves cause cancer or other serious problems.

I could go on, but the reality is, even while all of these are realistic statements, they contribute far less to overall risk than obesity or driving.

An internal ID for a customer record is probably tied to the orders and other internal data. Deleting a record just breaks shit you might need for historical purposes.

It's better to disassociate the customer info and maintain the other links - unless there is an obligation to do so otherwise (unfamiliar with gdrp nuances)

Randomizing multiple foreign keys at the same time is interesting though. Is it really necessary if the company isn't intentionally being malicious trying to maintain and advertise to the requesting individual ?

Hopefully, this sets the stage for a targeted therapy which could finally test the amyloid beta theory:

> Definitely true when the range was around 100 or 150 miles. Less true when the range is closer to 300.

300 rated miles is closer to 200 actual miles when you account for cold weather, head winds, and not charging to 100% at each station along the route (usually you only charge to ~60-80%). If you're only driving around town, that's fine, but road trips are going to suck below 300 (visiting family in another state during the holidays?) especially if your charging network sucks (even on Tesla's network there are some butt-clenching stretches).

> Are there any Tesla competitors that have so little range that they need to be charged every hour?

I'm pretty sure my Model Y needs to be charged every couple of hours of highway driving in the winter (maybe even less? I'm not sure) and its rated for ~320 miles. Based on that, I would guess that some of the 200-250 rated cars are coming in pretty close to charging every hour. Whether it's an hour or an hour and twenty minutes, I'm not interested.

I suspect if Covid was, oh, twice as lethal and lockdowns and the like were done like, oh, half as often that people would be criticizing the casual approach. It's all well and good to look at Omicron in late 2021 and say that the lockdown in 2020 was harsh, but then, who was filling those reefer trucks? And delta, as I recall, was doing just fine stacking bodies before Omicron came and out-competed it.

People just hate being inconvenienced, and those in government are probably resigned to "always doing the wrong thing". But I'm ok with things that keep people alive...
Nope, that's entirely for PR reasons. For some reason "blockchain" is still hype. Does it even matter there's a blockchain if it's centralised at a single party?

Central banks are looking in digital currencies (the so called CBDC), but blockchain is completely useless for that.
