In the beginning was the DEMO Project. And the Project was
without form. And darkness was upon the staff members
thereof. So they spake unto their Division Head, saying, "It
is a crock of shit, and it stinks."

And the Division Head spake unto his Department Head,
saying, "It is a crock of excrement and none may abide the
odor thereof." Now, the Department Head spake unto his
Directorate Head, saying, "It is a container of excrement,
and is very strong, such that none may abide before it." And
it came to pass that the Directorate Head spake unto
the Assistant Technical Director, saying, "It is a vessel of
fertilizer and none may abide by its strength."

And the assistant Technical Director spake thus unto the
Technical Director, saying, "It containeth that which aids
growth and it is very strong." And, Lo, the Technical
Director spake then unto the Captain, saying, "The powerful
new Project will help promote the growth of the
laboratories."

And the Captain looked down upon the Project, and He saw
that it was Good!

This misses the point. All states tax different things at different levels. You need to look at your personal situation and finances as well as lifestyle to see what makes sense.

One practical benefit for the well-off is having people in close proximity who can staff their local restaurants, shops, schools, etc.

It's much easier to hire and retain staff for your business when your pool of potential employees isn't a 30+ minute bus ride away.

For the well-off residents, it means better and more consistent service at their neighborhood grocery, coffee shop, restaurant, pharmacy, etc.
I believe the specific reason (as far as Apple disclosed) was that lower performance / higher efficiency PowerPC CPUs just weren't on IBM's roadmap and whatever quantity of CPUs Apple was buying and/or willing to commit to buying wasn't enough for IBM to consider it. Intel was focusing on power efficiency after the whole Netburst disaster.
We've inadvertently created substantial cost advantages for REITS:

* Assuming that they never sell, they never pay capital gains taxes. Meanwhile, if I move and sell, I get hit now.
* Ability to cross-collateralize a bunch of houses lets you tap into institutional capital. No pesky appraisal fees, no payoff for a mortgage broker, etc. Result is that their cost of capital is way below an individual's.
* Better management -- ability to hire a bunch of actual skilled handymen to work across multiple properties means that they have specialization/ gains from scale. Typical homeowner is a jack of all trades who has to hire specialized talent which is vastly more expensive.
* lots of pricing data with which to price as optimistically as possible.
* ability to write off expenses

So basically, tax regime changes have created the rise of the REIT.
> You would never do so for normal internet activity like Google searches, Twitter or Facebook

Websites from Google search result are verified by my browser via HTTPS certs. On twitter or facebook, users usually trust the centralized authnz systems hosted by the platform to verify content ownership. But out of box, git allows you to use whatever name/email on your commit, so that's a problem.

In my whole career, there were 3 times that I got questioned about "why did you introduce this line of code, which caused some production issue?" and turned out to be results of someone junior developer's rebase/amend or whatnot. I pointed out that I always sign my commits and those unsigned ones were not mine. Without signature I really could not tell whether I was the author or not, since some commits are months/years old.

I believe those altered commits were honest mistakes without malicious intention, and our organization has blameless culture. But I still want to let my coworkers know that I am not the one who caused this problem. Signing commits helps a lot in these situations and clears misunderstanding, and I believe more or less impacted my performance review and bonus (my performance would probably not be as good if I had to own those incidents).

CI/CD tools are getting better each day, a commit can mean a lot more than "a snapshot of the code base", like, it could have been a checkpoint of the state of the production environment (IaC, GitOps ... etc). You already have your name on the commit, so why not offer a way for others to verify you are really who you say you are?

And I should probably clarify, that the identity of a git commit does not have to be linked to a human in real life. It's just a way to verify that a commit is really from author X and not Y.
So the solution is park all poor people in blue states?
Yup.

Especially since types are documentation. If you are using some meta dynamic type garbage, then I as a user of the API am left to wonder "Ok, this takes <U, K extends keyof U>... WTF is it expecting?"

This isn't to say that sort of thing is ALWAYS wrong, but rather it should be the exception and not the rule.

You do types because constraints make code clearer. By having a BF compiler in the middle of your template definition, you've defeated the types and you might as well put an `any` there with docs that say "here there be dragons!"
Like what? I went over the USCIS page and Wikipedia and there does not seem to be very many options for skilled workers besides H and L, both of which are tied to employers.

This is hyperbole and degrades your point.

> Companies should be required to apply and get approval...

Are you sure your perspective isn't too biased towards professionals working in tech and business service industries? Your proposal is logically consistent with lowering emissions and changing the culture of the way we work, but it rests on a few assumptions that have not yet been demonstrated, namely the effectiveness of remote work. I worry you're underestimating the impact (stifling) that this will have on the flexibility and growth of businesses across many industries.

I also see this as a major loss of individual freedom. You can argue that this loss of freedom is worth the cost, but I don't think you can say that this criticism is invalid.
> Do you think that criminals will care that it is 'illegal'

If that sort of logic were to be applied what's the point in any law? Deterrence, making it harder, and punishment. Rolling your own crypto is hard, just like building your own gun for a robbery is. Not impossible, but it will certainly deter less motivated individuals. If all crypto was broken with law enforcement owned escrow keys (not in any way advocating for this, just playing devil's advocate, criminals would know not to rely on it and would have to first build a reliable safe method of communication (like physical meetings). Not the end of the world, just a deterrent.

> In such a scenario you'll have to radically enforce what programs may or may not be run on everyone's computer. If you do that, you're worse than the criminals.

That's a wild exaggeration. All sorts of things radically enforce what software can run on anyone's computer (DRM, antiviruses, licenses, etc.) and that's not great, but comparing that to an actual violent crime for instance is just stupid and honestly insulting.
If your startup is already H-1B dependent, then I don't feel super bad. Raise more and find local talent at the market rate or go out of business--but startups aren't entitled to a pool of cheap, foreign labor via H-1Bs.
Minimalism doesn’t imply grayscale. Consider the color fields of the abstract expressionists or In C by John Cage (grayscale would be octaves or perhaps perfect intervals only). Desaturated everything is the aesthetic of contemporary Scandinavian design which is rooted in minimalism. It will go out of vogue eventually.

Most things in the US at least are not designed, they are just built (90% of all houses). Architects aren’t even in the picture.

Have they really gone back to the pentium 4 strategy or are they behind in process node tech and can only compete with AMD’s performance by pumping power into their cpus?

The goal should probably be something close to price stability. If prices bounce all around, up and down, people pay more attention than if they were just kind of 'there', and you could buy or sell whenever the need arose in order to move into housing that better suits you at a given point in your life.
Here's a better, more holistic overview, in case you want to see what starting "from nil" actually entails (hint: you don't just step off a plane and tell Uncle Sam that you want to be a citizen):

https://immigrationroad.com/green-card/immigration-flowchart...

> The time it takes to become a permanent resident varies dramatically, affected by many factors such as USCIS processing, visa availability, labor certification/background check delays, the applicant's qualifications, nationality, residence, profession, luck, and so on. Most people are probably looking at 5 - 15 years. Some also spent several years in a nonimmigrant status prior to starting the immigration process. After green card, add roughly 5 - 7 years towards citizenship

In addition to the time, as others said there's a high probability the path will fail for most. The process starts with winning a visa that allows you to immigrate (tourist/business/student visas don't count). I say "win" because you need to find a company willing to pay and apply for that on your behalf, go through a lottery based on degree to see if you even get the opportunity to apply, and then hope the application isn't rejected on the grounds of the job being something a U.S. citizen can do. if you studied in the U.S., you get 1-2 more years to work under your student visa on what's called "Optional Practical Training" to convince your employer you're worth the hassle of sponsoring an immigration visa. Once you have that visa (e.g., an H-1B visa), you have 3 years to try rise to a senior position and convince your employer that you are valuable enough to splurge on a green card application. If that fails, you can apply for a 3 year extension and try again. If that also fails, you must leave the country for at least a year, and start over. If you succeed, you wait some number of years depending on your birth country and quotas imposed on each before you get the chance to start applying for a green card and get this process rolling. Hence 10-22 years, for those lucky few who didn't get rejected at any of the aforementioned points.

The reason bars are popular for company events is that they are the cheap and easy choice. For the price of a couple of rounds, you get maximum camaraderie--at least among the people who attend and drink. You usually need no forewarning, as many bars can handle an influx of a team's worth of people without issue.

Alternatives all require more planning, and usually higher expense, and often result in people who are comfortable in bars opting out. You might rent some bowling lanes and provide food, but that's usually more expensive than a bar, and there will definitely be some people who won't bowl.

Other activities in the same category as bowling, like escape rooms and the like, all seem "forced" in that they require people to do things they probably don't normally do. This is in addition to the expense and planning necessary.

Possibly the most natural event of all is a meal, since everybody eats. Assuming you find a restaurant that accommodates varying dietary requirements, you probably need to make reservations and possibly spend more than you would at a bar, but it's still probably the best option. Except... everybody will be sitting down rather than mingling, so it's a different sort of event then.

I'm not saying a bar is the best option. I'm saying it's the easiest option, which is why so many companies go back to it again and again.
I'm very much calling out that my experience is different. But you are also making assumptions that may not be what you expect. Most wouldn't have said that my relatives had capacity to house my family. They did it any way. This is in part what I think might be different.

A lot of the support structures for people appear to have disappeared and broken down. That's on us as a society not on the individual. I have a lot of empathy. I've since done the same thing for others that my relatives did for me. I've taken in people who had no place to go and gave them a place to get back on their feet.

It feels a little bit like you and I are in violent agreement.

And you can vary how you do things; in CA you should acquire lots of land twenty years ago, in Texas you should maximize your income and minimize your property.
No no. Just seems blue states seem to do more for them than the red states do. That’s all. Nobody is advocating forced moves but if I were in such a situation the politics of the state and the services available would be paramount to my choice to where to go as well as the opportunities for fair housing and good jobs.
Isn’t this completely reasonable? I would expect that at least 1/4 homes is a rental and every rental home is owned by an investor.

Does this actually support operating on 5GHz, or is it still stuck in the 2.4GHz era? I'm not aware of any FreeBSD-compatible wifi cards that actually do this.

(I would love to be proven wrong, but I'm super tired of people saying "wifi cards work fine on FreeBSD" when the reality is that the speeds are sub-optimal without a way to improve it currently)
Agree, 100%. Make your function definition `foo(foo: Foo)` not `foo<T extends comparable | int | Bar>(foo: T)` Flexibility is the enemy of a type system and library design in general.
I remember a local group spreading a "study" around to local news outlets / radio programs and so on about how people in Minnesota were moving out because of the high taxes. But the information they provided didn't really provide much to indicate any sort of "why".

Then if you followed the info to the actual study you found that the most frequent destination for the folks moving out of Minnesota was ... California.

The point being I'm not sure how many people really move for just "taxes" and a lot more plays into it, and taxes are too complex to say "this state or that state" as it really depends on who you are and your situation(s).

I don't understand how D is anywhere near Rust, and I say this as a D fan. Maybe because of the name D is positioned better because it gets more matches in searches? Rust ecosystem seems far more vibrant, with lots of libraries, new ones every day, and many new projects announcing moves to Rust. Also Rust is a very powerful contender in the WASM environment. Meanwhile D, while not dead, is fairly stagnant. There are constant improvements to the language, and new libraries pop up every week, but in a much smaller volume.
I think all the legislations proposed have been for backdoored encryption, not a blanket ban on encryption, under the (probably extremely naive) assumption that encryption can be backdoored only for law enforcement use and nobody else would be capable of exploiting that.
The OP's example of createActions smells like such a scenario. The way redux mashes up payloads and discriminators makes it hard to type correctly - as in objects are not simply composed, they're extended by adding properties, and for no immediately obvious reason (which might be because of my inexperience, granted).

Had redux been developed in typescript from the start, I doubt it would have chosen this API. Then again, the current version is already in typescript, so perhaps that optimism is unwarranted; unfortunately my experience with it is years ago already.
Is it true that the lack of income tax in Texas leads to a surfeit of under-maintained roads? Not that Caltrans is particularly great.
You can approximate something by defining the valid TokenTable keys as an enum, and using a mapped type for the actual TokenTable type.

There's some boilerplate in the definition, but it's fairly clean and non-repetitive. And easy to use in the "client code".

Well yeah. When powerful folks like Marc Andreesen are secretly fighting affordable housing starts that’s not going to help anyone.
You don't even have to be poor to be worse off in TX. Our household income is a little over $300k, and moving to Austin would raise our total tax burden compared to where we live now. It is not a low tax state.

Snapdeal revenue (not profit, just top-line revenue) in 2021 (after 11 years in business): $64 million USD

Is that Amazon-like? Amazon was founded in 1994 and AWS was created in 2006, 12 years later. Did Snapdeal launch their own Indian AWS competitor in 2022? How's their revenue growth holding up compared to Amazon?

For comparison, my own 4 person e-commerce startup had ~$6.4 million in revenue in 2021 with gross margins around 30%. Of course, we've only been in business since 2018, not 2010 like Snapdeal. If we take Softbank money (2014, Snapdeal), will we also be an Amazon-like "unicorn" in seven years with mediocre revenue?
RTO?
That is impressive and exciting. Thank you. I look forward to giving it a more serious spin when I am finished with my current project.
> So what are the added costs that landlords are "saving" renters from?

Utilities will generally cost a bit more. But the real killers with home ownership tend to be large expenses that come due all at once. Roof needs to be replaced, AC unit needs to be replaced, major appliance replacement, foundation problems, any number of expensive things can and will come up.
Way cheaper but the taxes on it are also high
This is a positive step. There is still a lot of work to be done to ensure privacy for students and workers, especially in their own homes.

I've said something similar before, music alone doesn't make you come home at 2 in the morning and beating up your wife and kids. I've seen alcohol do that. Eating cakes doesn't make you fall asleep in a ditch, at the side of the road, with drool coming out of your mouth (and with some kind person stopping from time to time checking if you're dead or not). I've seen alcohol do that. I fail to see the "colorness" in beating your wife or in navigating between life and death at the side of the road.
Ok, got it. Apologies.

If you write comprehensive unit tests for your javascript, that should effectively also work too... this is what ruby developers pretty much had to do.

We can see that over time based on the decline of ruby popularity in general, that fell out of style though. It is too easy to make a mistake and everyone was just duplicating what a compiler does for us.

I can't tell you how many hours I would sit there pair programming with other ruby developers just trying to figure out what 'type' an object is. Mind boggling, but it was good to get those high paid consulting hours.

> malicious employee making a commit with obviously bad code in someone else's name, but with branch protections enabled, it wouldn't go to prod without someone else catching it.

You are massively overconfident about the protections code review provides. But even if you _are_ confident in code reviews, you can push code to someone else's PR under their name, then approve it yourself and ship it yourself.

It also opens up social engineering vectors. Create a PR by CEO/CTO/Senior Security Engineer/whatever, with some critical sounding bug fix impacting $BIG_CLIENT, then you DM someone "hey, $IMPORTANT_PERSON needs this shipped ASAP, can you help us out with a quick +1?"
Thanks, that's good to know!

My guess is that if the salary premium required for in-person workers ends up being ~2x or more, most companies will decide that going remote is feasible after all.

On the other hand, if the salary premium employees demand ends up only being, say ~1.3x, then many companies will just bite the bullet and pay it.
You legend! I look forward simply to tracking your progress, this is so good already
From the link:

>This study provides important context for those interested in state and local tax policies... It finds that nearly every state fails the basic test of tax fairness

If everyone fails the test, perhaps it's not that the test takers are in the wrong, but maybe the test isn't administrated properly.
Can only patch so many buffer overflows, off-by-one errors, format string vulnerabilities, integer overflows, race conditions, use-after-free errors, etc, before it gets to be a bit tiring. Safer alternatives exist.
But with an app that doesn't use a 3rd party, you don't have to much worry about E2EE at all, as I understand it. E.g. Syncthing + Markor.
