I live in Argentina and this is correct. The (fake) official exchange rate is used by the government and media to paint a better picture of the terrible situation that we're in, it should not be used nor trusted anywhere to make any calculations on the cost of living, inflation, salaries nor anything else.

That's nice but would you mind actually answering his question? Why should he pay comparable rates to someone residing where the cost of living is a fraction of the US? There are concrete benefits to having dev teams composed of people who share a common culture. What's on the other end of the scales to balance out losing that if it isn't money?

Richer people have less children. People are not not having children for financial reasons.

And even if what you said was true, Europe who has a lot more social protections for such things, has an even lower birth rate than the US. So that's clearly not relevant.

Did you know that there is a band called

"The The"
Yes, this is true. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_The.
They exist since 1979 . They made it to position 2 in the UK chart.
The obviously have a trademark for "The The" in music.

I used to work in search engines. When you decide to implement stop words, one of the first you define for English is of course the word "the". And then you learn of the band "The The" and you have to design a completely different architecture in order to handle exceptions to the stop word list ;-)

The marijuana testing lab industry is rife with fraud, it doesn't give me much confidence. (Flower could be compromised too, but I think the less processing done before purchase, the less chance there is for something to go wrong.)

DIY extracts seems like a good alternative. But vaping ground flower is very straight forward and low effort, so it seems like the obvious choice to me.

This is basically similar to the process I've used to turn my phone into a dev/writing environment for spending months thru-hiking in areas without internet.

I use termux to host a jupyterlab instance and bring along a tiny folding bluetooth keyboard. Even in airplane mode I can connect to the locally hosted jupyterlab instance. Notebooks are kept in git and synced up to my private repo when I'm back on grid.

There are simpler solutions for writing, but this allows me to keep a single workflow across home/travel contexts. Being able to run graphs, basic code and computation as needed is also a plus.

Gather town is pretty awesome. My team held a 300 person internal event on that platform. People seemed to really enjoy it. They got a hang of it pretty fast without prior experiences playing games.

I do like the idea of an online proximity focused office space but I couldn't get my team to buy into the idea of it. Async messaging on slack is preferred.
>> Puranjay's claim here is almost literally "change will happen, and it will bring grief."

The only place he mentions grief (rather than "demographic change requires economic change") is at the very end, with "And any large scale shift in economic models comes with some grief, at the very least." Nowhere else.

Some grief. As a footnote. That's hardly quantified, and itself could be covered simply by the fact change is hard. Japan was forced into changing, and...it went fine. The US hasn't yet. It'll require adjustment, which will probably bring some unpleasantness as we all adapt. That isn't alarmist, which was my point.
I've used solutions from other companies, but I kept coming back to Dropbox because ultimately it worked best. The client implementation really matters. Every time they degrade the client experience, I start to ponder moving to something else again. I don't need fancy, I just need it to work every time.
I think it can't be solved by a search engine. If you search for conspiracy junk that's what will be surfaced. Attempts to correct for this will just introduce other biases until the search engine maker likes what they see. Introducing contrary content into search results will annoy users, and also surface fringe junk more frequently.

A search engine is bias. If you wanted unbiased results, you would sort the results randomly. Maybe even return random URLs without regard for what was in the search query.

He's incorrect in that he thinks the destruction of the Taiwanese semiconductor industry during an invasion by the mainland would be a minor inconvenience for the US but an insurmountable obstacle for China.

He was right, but he was also years early. It took Apple 5-ish years after that (I’m assuming this conversation was around 2009) to ship iCloud Drive, and then some more years to add things like shared folders (it took them two tries I think). By that point Dropbox was down the Enterprise Hole, but a 10-ish year run isn’t bad for a product, many great products or product categories have had shorter lifetimes.

No real use case? I'm running it on multiple daily-driver machines as my personal computing OS. It works, and well. It's stable, reliable and everything works as expected and works as comprehensively-documented. I think there's more reason every day to use OpenBSD vs. all the other OSes you just mentioned. I've never seen such strict adherence to project goals/values than with this OS, and the resulting quality and correlating user experience is evident.

Windows is trademarked for certain things, like pink is trademarked for sugar replacement packets - this is not a problem. There are still plenty of places that sell things called windows without legal hassle, and plenty of things that are pink without legal hassle.

Trademarks are usually restricted to tiny, tiny slices of the complete, generic meaning of the trademarked term.

That would make for some interesting posts. "How X promotes wishful simplification," for various values of X. I imagine some common traits would be probably be "X makes simple things simple," with "it makes hard things look like simple ones." But there's also "X has defaults that Just Work" with "until they don't." I don't think I'd include assembly, C, or Java in those categories. Python? Maybe; "batteries included" is starting to break down. Go? Yep. Goroutines and channels usually work well for simple stuff, often for more complicated, and the core libraries follow that pattern. Model failures tend to be buried and solved when the service is turned off and back on. Rust? Don't think so; its schtik is making hard things into blockers. Web frameworks? Yes, oh very yes. Lisp? "Simple? Blink blink. Oh, you mean elegant."

4) I'm sure people have committed suicide and lost jobs because of the consequences from Google blocking their account without any recourse. This is definitely not an acceptable state of affairs, and I'd suggest avoiding using Google products whenever possible until this reprehensible behavior is changed.

I don't know of any Google-specific stories, but this has happened to people reliant on other tech companies and, more often than not, it was intentional. Most of the targets are foreign nationals, because they try to buy American "troublemakers" off first, but there are a couple high-profile cases of this sort of thing happening in the US.

We live in a strange time wherein corporations can act with a complete absence of accountability, especially if the out-of-touch, rich, geriatric men who write our laws can be hoodwinked into thinking that abuse of technological leverage is somehow impossible (because the mechanisms are beyond what they personally understand).

I understand that, I just wouldn't label it 'transparency' - it is transparent of them to say that, but so would be 'we explicitly editorialise our results to [...]'. I'd just call it 'bias-free' or something (though q.v. point two..).
I'm not in this space at all, but my reading of OP's comment was that the _total_ cost of a dev from their service is comparable to just the _salary_ (excluding benefits and other overhead) of a US developer.

In my opinion, America not being okay with social safety nets is not equivalent to shop lifting being okay. It seems to me either:

* Americans care about shoplifting but not social safety nets and it would mean that society has implicitly decided that some shoplifting folks may not get the support they need.

* Americans care about shoplifting and social safety nets enough to force political change.

I think what doesn't seem okay to me is to say, "Americans care about shoplifting but not social safety nets... but we are going to make an end run around what society thinks and allow shoplifting as a solution to the social safety net problem".
fwiw you can run docker without docker desktop now https://www.swyx.io/running-docker-without-docker-desktop/
Absolutely. It's too bad CC processors would shut this down. It seems like an ideal use case.
It probably depends a bit on your security posture and how you manage the server. The recommendation for avoiding root tends to be central to the idea of least privilege. By default, grant/allow the least privileges necessary, helps eliminate alot of security surface area, while also being a layer of protection against mistakes. It's easy to be careless with a superuser account, and have a bad day.

And this is naturally in conflict with being productive. As you mentioned, it's easier to be productive if you can just do all of the things all of the time. And operating in environments where a mistake may not be that devastating, or compromise or vulnerability this might be a reasonable tradeoff.

But I've worked in environments where this is too risky. For example:
1. Engineer accidentally pastes the wrong buffer into a terminal. They had accidentally copied some other piece of text.
2. The text happens to contain \nhostname set\n.
3. The terminal as it's spitting out errors, does see a valid command, to change the hostname.
4. That particular system was an HA system, and the process monitor in use, grepping the running processes for the command + args, of which hostname was an argument. And decided the process was no longer running.
5. The cluster seeing the failure, decides to boot another process. But at this time in history, that process was could only handle a single instance. Both instances now decided to conflict with each other.
6. Some part I don't remember about the failover site.
7. A million cell phones can no longer get an IP address.

So it's a question of tradeoffs, but is a generally recommended practice to not login directly to root, and operate with less privileges when not required. And then escalate if granted / required.

The part about not doing too much research really resonates with me. There's a lot of bad, vague or conflicting information out there, and plants are to varying extents resilient and adaptable.

That being said, I went with the opposite approach in certain regards. I only planted 2 (additional) crops, and only things I wanted. My state's ag extension has great information about growing strawbs and tomatoes here, which I follow depending on how lazy I'm feeling at any given moment. And I made raised beds because it was trendy I guess? But I don't regret it and it was a fun project.
You're focusing on coding style but it sounds more like hes talking about business requirement.

For example microsoft will give you mail and shared docs, for example. Use your own domain.

I’ve used it, it’s ok, certainly no worse than google and you get a much better text editor, spreadsheet, and actual Powerpoint if you need that. I think you can get sso across github, linkedin, teams instead of zoom, etc too, though I haven’t tried.

If you use Apple you can use icloud/iwork which has shared editing, etc, but I don’t know if it has support. It’s pretty bare bones but basically free for a small operation.

You can get nextcloud as a hosted service instead of running it yourself.

Etc

No matter what you choose you’re not getting a fully integrated experience — you’ll likely have slack, jira, github, AWS etc regardless. So fast mail + Dropbox might be great for you. For example going MS or Google won’t mean you’ll want to use azure or google cloud unless you have a very specialized application, no matter what their salespeople think.
Usually these don't like booting without the battery, but maybe there's a way to provide data-only USB connections and a lithium-level voltage internally. Often the early boot stages will interrogate the battery level and refuse to boot if it's too low, but it's very much model dependent.
Yes - it is covered by that. I do build facades for apis that don't have good client libraries, but for things like s3, or stripe - with solid libraries I don't.

Even when I build those facades I don't mock them out - I just rely on VCR.

I've never used test server like pytest-httpserver. I don't think that would buy much vs using stubbing your low level network libraries like VCR does. The killer feature of VCR is that it records the real network calls on first usage. If pytest-httpserver can do that in a proxy mode it seems like a good way to go though.
I have not tried Tailscale SSH or looked at it deeply, but as a general rule the answer is yes if the system is using delegated SSO alone to authenticate. (What I don't know is whether TS SSH supports any secondary methods like a password or SSH auth forwarding.)

You are delegating authentication, so your delegated authenticator can authenticate anything they want.

I feel like a large number of people adopting SSO/IAM systems don't fully understand this. If they do understand and are making a cost/benefit based choice to do this that's one thing, but... I think people should understand.

> I think people should be encouraged to think of all cryptocurrencies as scams.

You are encouraging people to "think" something that you personally know not to be true.

IOW, you are not encouraging them to "think" anything. You are just feeding them a conclusion, and you are spreading a lie.

You might believe that is a white lie, but it's a lie nonetheless. Worse still, it's the type of lie that, if repeated often enough, damages all the reputation from honest people and destroys all chance of good work coming from the space. The lie becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

You can do better than that. I am not telling you to do a 180 in your opinion, or to support any crypto project in particular. But at the very least, stop feeding people with the conclusion and actually state the principles behind your reasoning.

Heuristics and "rules of thumb" help when there is uncertainty and when there is risk associated with a decision, but before applying an heuristic you can and should remove as much uncertainty as possible.

Because Russia was stocking up on foreign valuta for exactly the current scenario.

Close advisors to Zelensky have been aware of the incoming invasion since at least 2017. But they could not act, because sounding the alarm would cause mass evacuations. This would have clogged their infrastructure, which would prevent their army from being able to act quickly and basically lose them the war before it had even begun.

It is not a very strong example of a prediction. At most it shows he is well informed.
Well I'd guess not many consumers pay for Dropbox, and every enterprise sale is a much bigger win.
The advantage that Brave and co have is that SEO sites will largely not be willing to make changes that decrease their Google rank to improve their Brave rank. If Google changes their algorithm, everyone will optimise for the new one, but as long as the Google algorithm is there and the main priority, Brave may be able to extract some useful signal.
The OP's point is that being able to produce a simple solution to a complex problem only seems like the product of "refusing to be smart" from the outside. From the inside, there's always a delicate balancing act - each step involves choosing approaches that may generate complexity just in different ways. The same data used in different places in the application? What do you do? Objects? Globals? Cut-and-paste. Any of those solutions might be fully justified or might degenerate into a tangle by the time the application is done. Once, if you have a nice, simple working application, you can say "it's all just 'grug'" but that's essentially what they a call "humble brag".

What about their search engine?

I knew someone who worked as a "reputation hit man". I don't know what his rate is today, but back in the 2000s, he would, for $500, impersonate and defame a person all over the internet. Most of his clients were corporate executives trying to take out competitors for promotions. He may be out of that business, but it still exists and the practice is widespread.

Google knows about this problem, and in the EU, there is a right to be forgotten. If you're American, though, there could be "Google dirt" about you or about someone with the same first and last name, keeping you from getting decent jobs, and you probably wouldn't even know.
This is completely unrelated to their drive business. Feels coherent given Dropbox is probably used for storing the content so people don’t have to move it all to some other website creation company. I don’t know how much this will stick but worth a shot for Dropbox
