> It leads to the question about "when is it okay to steal?"

There are certainly situations where it is _morally_ OK to steal. You're confusing the question with when it is _legal_ to steal, which by definition there is none.

> Shouldn’t their income be all you need?

Sometimes people can pay but choose not to. Ability to pay is necessary but not sufficient. Demonstrating a proven track record of financial responsibility makes a landlord much more willing to lease on favorable terms.

> By being a land lord, you are preventing people from buying and building equity.

Landlords increase the supply of housing by improving and renovating older structures or converting them into residential use.

A landlord has the exact same costs as a homeowner. He has a mortgage, property taxes, insurance, repairs, etc. Because he wants to operate at a profit he needs to keep those costs low, and a lot of landlords do that by purchasing distressed properties at lower prices, improving them, and leasing them profitably.

Alternatively a landlord can lease to tenants who have poor credit and can’t obtain a mortgage to buy a house. Those tenants would probably be homeless if it weren’t for landlords willing to risk leasing to them. No bank will lend $300k to those tenants so they can purchase the houses they would otherwise be renting. Those landlords are charging higher rents commensurate with the higher nonpayment risk inherent in tenants with low credit scores.

Generally the only thing preventing tenants with poor credit from building home equity is their poor financial decisions.
>Financial responsibility should be something taught early on at schools.

100% guarantee that this does not matter one iota.

I've tried and tried to help so many people with their financial picture. You would have more luck talking to a brick wall.

People don't care. They just simply do not care.

This is because most people - maybe 95% - are ruled by their emotions rather than rationality. Or to put it more precisely, people make decisions based on emotions and then use their rational mind after they make their decision to rationalize their purchase.

Also, becoming financially responsible is just about the simplest thing to do, at least at the beginning stages. All it requires is addition and subtraction, mostly, which we learn in second grade or whenever it is. Second grade.

I remember opening my first savings and checking account when I was 15 years old (when you could do it yourself without parent's permission). The person who helped my took about 10 minutes to help me understand, that's all you need.

The internet is inundated with videos and classes on basic financial knowledge. I'm sure that I could go to Udemy and find 500 courses on basic financial training and pay $15 for it....hmmm, let me go check right now...ok, typed "personal finance" in the search and it came back with "6,496 results for “personal finance”"

People don't take those classes because they don't want to take them. Probably personal finance is one of the topics that is #1 for total courses available.

Honestly, personal finance is so easy. It is just about the easiest thing to do. Sure if you get into complicated stuff, if you have $200 million in the bank/assets/whatever, maybe it is hard. But for the general person, no, it is simple. And the part that someone doesn't get, there are a ton of videos and articles on that, too.

I have gotten exceptionally angry at some people because they were so broke and asked me for help. There I was, spending countless hours with them, doing what you said and educating them, and they go out and blow a HUGE chunk of their feeble savings on the stupidest shit. I got angry because I knew these people and got emotionally invested in helping them (I don't regret getting emotionally invested).

I don't help people anymore. It's an exercise in frustration and futility. People simply do notwant to be financially responsible...well, maybe in the 20/80 law, 20% are financially responsible. The other 80%...don't waste time on them.

Kind of a rant, but it still burns deep in my soul, because the people I tried to help are good people.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. Pearls before swine.
The average age in the US is 26. Maybe your perspective is limited?
Good answer. Surprised your bio is not filled out.
It's not necessarily the case that paying more gives you a longer lasting product. You can pay more for a car and actually end up with the exact opposite, for example. Expensive often means more capacity for things to go wrong. The one thing that guarantees poor purchasing is thinking rules like 'it costs more, and is thus less likely to break' always, or even mostly, apply.

There is an issue from 2019 on the pipenv tracker for this issue: https://github.com/pypa/pipenv/issues/3893

According to the last comment there it should be fixed:

> I don't think this should be an issue in the current 2022.4.8 release because of the requirement to use index restricted packages for locking. Please advise if you think this is still a concern and we can revisit it.

But apparently it is still an issue (assuming the author did use a recent enough pipenv version)

From the article:

> Overall this is pipenv working exactly as it should.

I don't agree, IMO pipenv should just install from the source package and ignore the newer wheel, maybe showing a warning about the new wheel.

Edit: Just noticed that the author agrees in the end:

> I suppose the behavior I’d like to see here is that if my Pipfile.lock has hashes in it for a distribution, then even if additional distributions are available, pipenv sync should be allowed to continue to install from the distribution corresponding to the “trusted” hash.

I prefer to use https://python-poetry.org/ instead of pipenv, since it has less issues in my experience. But I wonder how it would behave in this situation.
> I think the issue is that social media is the most amazing tool for propaganda ever invented.

The Russians realized it in 2016, and the data I've seen indicates that they promoted both Trump and Sanders at the time.

> One of the two political parties learned from that experience rather than wanted to fix it.

Both sides spread a lot of lies and even more half truths both in social media and more traditional media. The loyalists on both sides also both seem unable to spot where their own side is spreading disinformation and propaganda.
Nobody is suggesting that you get your calories from broccoli and carrots or bananas. That's what grains and fats are for.
I agree. I used nonstick pans for a long time. But once the coating starts to degrade, they're worse than decent-quality traditional cookware. Because food starts to stick, but you still can't use metal utensils to scrape it off.

Now I just use stainless-steel or (rarely) cast iron, and I'm much happier.

And it's even cheaper, long-term. A decent stainless-steel pan costs $50-$200 USD, but lasts approximately forever. Whereas a decent non-stick equivalent costs $30-$50, but needs replacement every few years even if I'm careful with it.

How the Turntable Paradox Works
I've been a programmer long enough to see things being reinvented over and over again, just under a different name or written in a different language, or now it's "cloud native" and "serverless" and "ready for microservices". The longer I witness this cycle of reinvention the more annoyed I become by it. It's crazy to think that all the work we did in the 80's, 90's and 00's is just thrown away like that, only for those same things to be reinvented and implemented from scratch again with all the experience from the previous iteration lost. Programmers seem to behave much more like the fashion industry than anything else.

> Did anyone else collect MIDI files in the pre MP3 days?

Oh yes! And I still copy them over every time I migrate to a new music making computer. And play them back every few years for a good smile.

I even spent quite a bit of money on commercially produced floppy disks of midi files containing arrangements of popular songs of the day. It enabled an early form of remixing those songs.

This was quite a thing during its heyday and was quite interlinked with the MT-32 sound module by Roland, which also ended up spawning an entire subculture of classical music lovers transcribing countless classical (and thus public domain) pieces into MIDI and posting them on BBS systems.

Some of the modern classical midi archives on the web are descendants of those BBS sharing communities and I'm assuming that numerous midi files on current websites are actually from those days (late 80s to early 90s).

The eventual standard MIDI GM (for standardizing program change messages into specific instruments) and subsequent dialects like Roland's MIDI GS and Yamaha's MIDI XG standardizing control change messages for FX like reverb etc. all stem from those days.

The MT32 and later Sound Canvas series modules and Yamaha's competing models like the FB-01 eventually ended up becoming incorporated into many PC sound cards.

So many memories ...
That example is one reason why legislation is necessary.

There will always be detractors saying we should just make people want to make the right choice, but all it takes is one person in a company to make a decision that outweighs the collective efforts of millions.

Well yes that's what I said - these days it's less true with the direct conversion (many superhet's around though still!) but SW numbers stations are not really a thing anymore anyway so the solution is a bit late :) And a direct conversion receiver and the computer attached to it can also leak RF. I'm pretty sure equipment these days leaks more RF than in the 80s. And not just RF. People have even been able to determine private keys from the coil whine in the audio sampled across the room from the PC running the crypto!

Though I wonder if spies used SDRs (or other direct conversion receivers) earlier than the mainstream for this reason.. On the other hand I've heard spies usually shy away from special electronics because it's a lot harder to explain than a standard holiday shortwave receiver.

Hilarious origin story of Sony NEWS, how the engineers built a UNIX workstation they wanted, not what they were told to build.

> Sony's NEWS project leader, Toshitada Doi, originally wanted to develop a computer for business applications, but his engineers wanted to develop a replacement for minicomputers running Unix that they preferred to use.

> In the beginning, Doi's concept of the workstation was a device, which was essentially an extension of current [MIPS (Media Information Products and System) Business Group] projects. He saw it as consisting of "a 32-bit CPU developed in a short time with unrestricted applications." Basically, he thought of it as an OA computer.

> However, the engineers Doi selected for his team did not listen to what Doi told them to do. They wanted to develop a workstation that could replace the VAX Super Mini Computer developed by Digital Equipment Corp. (DEC). This was a computer that the engineers often fought with each other to use while at MIPS because of the limited number. They wanted to develop something they themselves could use for their own day to day work.

Important. Firefox got where it was partially because many of us installed it for coworkers and relatives and everyone else, not because ordinary users sat down to try to figure out what browsers existed and which one was better.

Towards the end, Firefox was an easy sell.

There are also probably a number of other improvements that can be done (I've advocated looking into doing the same as asm.js, but with html and css: something like a put meta-tag announcing html-lite or html/asm or something in the head, use a restricted set of css and html that is rendering friendly and only uses these well thought out js-libraries and we will pass your code down a much more efficient rendering branch!)

As a daily fp-ts user I'm not sure I agree, you handle them with the appropriate data type: Either.

Exceptions are a path like any other, there's nothing really magical about those, you catch the functions that could throw and handle the fact they have thrown the error, which error, why?

There's two helpers for that in fp-ts [1][2] plus the obvious lazy and asynchronous counter parts in the TaskEither and ReaderTaskEither modules.

> Debug? You don’t.

If by “debug” you mean “step through with a debugger” (at least Ruby’s standard debugger), sure (except at the steps with blocks, which you can easily insert as noops as needed with #tap). But, honestly, I almost never resort to using a debugger in practice, so minor variations in where breakpoints can be set aren’t something I see as a big deal.

My family member probably forgot to deposit the check. The bank knew it had been illegal to honor the check for over a year, because all checks expire. They admitted they honored the check illegally, but they claimed I had defrauded them. Which I had not, neither in intent nor their own rules, nor the law. They still put a black mark on me that limited how I could operate financially that wouldn’t expire for a decade even though they knew they broke the law. I didn’t have any recourse. Hope that helps you understand.

Edit: and the fines were too much to afford at the time but were not nearly as harmful as a decade record of “fraud” I didn’t commit. Maybe people here don’t realize it but when you have a record of fraud you can’t… do the things you all think are normal? Having a record of fraud because a bank told you they don’t care they know you didn’t commit fraud is ten years of recovering your financial reputation.
