> Nobody where it snows a handful of times a year is going to buy snow tires

How about all-season tyres? They wear much slower than snow tyres in my experience.

Are they available in the US? Is there not enough demand in warmer states to have supply?
Meanwhile the estate tax in the US only applies to inheritances larger than $12.9 million. People with that kind of wealth also know how to start planning early to avoid the tax, so the tax is practically ineffectual.

A fairer inheritance tax could go a long way to fixing the worsening wealth gap in America.

What does "in your area" really mean when looking for remote work?

Are you referring to speciality or geographic area? For some specialities, if the specialty doesn't have remote work (say it's robotics or biotech or something else with a heavy lab component), you might be out of luck. If it's geographic, well, find headhunters in another geography.
Isn’t that true for any war? The only issue is the sides can’t agree who is good and who is bad.
The plugins fzf.vim and telescope.nvim made vim/nvim ridiculously more useful. Taking the time to set these up to your liking really pays off.

I love the nvim project especially for how it has rejuvenated the vim landscape and creating a cutting edge plugin ecosystem due to lua plugins.

For rust development, rust-tools.nvim and rust-analyzer have fared really well compared to VSCodium.
I only check Slack messages once an hour. People have gotten used to it being a synchronous communication tool rather than an asynchronous one.

I found myself jumping from one Slack message to another, and never getting anything done.
Can you explain why that sounds boring?

I ask, as my preference would be to do the boring thing and install a binary locally. Like how one generally uses git for example.
True. But since he said that he’ll be waiting at his own home that probably means that the unhappy customer was threatening to visit him which is also a bit scary…

I just want to take a moment to remind everybody just how insane car travel is as a mode of transportation.

Sure, it's convenient, but at what cost!?

Air pollution, tire particle pollution, covering the Earth with asphalt, etc.

Also, and this is gruesome so brace yourself, car travel causes incredible amounts of human suffering. Car collisions cause something like 40,000 fatalities per year just in the USA. In fact, more Americans have died in car crashes than in all the wars we've fought. I call it the "Mayhem Lottery". Anyone can play, little kids, old people, pregnant women, everybody. And the tickets cost nothing, all you have to do is be near a street. (Sometimes cars will even crash into buildings. People have been killed by cars while sitting in their own homes watching TV!)

Now the weird, bizarre thing about this state of affairs is that it is the result of a successful mass-marketing campaign! When cars were first introduced people complained of reckless drivers ("Speed Demons"), the car companies and the government got together and created a deliberate plan to change public attitude (about being run down in the street by car drivers), they actually coined the term "jaywalker" to describe people using the street in the traditional fashion (pedestrians.)

It sounds nuts, because it is, yet it really happened: cf. "The Real Reason Jaywalking Is A Crime" (Adam Ruins Everything) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxopfjXkArM

Edit to add: You can see the transition period in the "a Trip down Market Street" film from San Francisco, April 14, 1906, just before the Great Earthquake. The source of the problem is clear: cars accelerate much faster than horses.

Unpopular Opinion.

>> Johnson closed the project to contributions in January 2021, explaining in a section of the README titled "Open-Source, not Open-Contribution" that dealing with even small code contributions was too time-consuming.

Well according to comments on HN and Twitter from around 2016 - 2022. The rarely disputed ( Or disputed but downvoted ) definition of Open Sources means building a community around the project. If it doesn't accept outside contribution and the code doesn't give back and stays within the community ( ~GPL ) it is not true open source.

So I am glad How "open" could open source be is finally back on the table of discussions. But it is sad as it is often the case most people learn it the hard way.

This belief is founded on a falsehood, specifically it rests upon some version of the popularised economic theory of the “tragedy of the commons”.

Short version. The original Tradgedy of the Commons paper that much modern economic theory rests upon and that is a key pillar that justifies the value of privatisation has found to have been made up.

Elinor Ostrom spent over 20 years debunking that there’s nothing you can do, and distilled a set of principals that any community can enact to protect and preserve a commons.

Totally agree on the compromised credential check, hence it‘s also part of my general password policy recommendations [0].

I also agree that IdPs and SSO is commodity nowadays (to speak in Wardley-terms). However, some orgs still have vastly heterogeneous authentication systems. In these situations it might be financially beneficial first do unify and then switch to an off-the-shelf service provider later. OIDC makes it possible.

I think you're overreacting. I didn't read that comment as "you definitely have ADHD." More like "this behavior is a trait many with ADHD have, so it is worth considering seeing a psychologist."
Interesting. I don't think I would take it.

I think I could find other passions, but none of them seem as boundless and fungible (pursuable with nothing but a computer) or as productive (I can make stuff happen!) as programming.

Money isn't something I'm suffering for want of. But I would suffer for want of something like programming. It's the coolest thing in life, and now I can't do it anymore since I got all this money? Not a good trade. I didn't get into it for the money to begin with. :p
I think the article assumes you're following the law. No drunk driving, speeding, mobile phone usage or not wearing your seat belts.

Sure. But not easily.
Instead of repeatedly claiming it is more useful, you might want to go into detail about what it offers and how it is useful. I don't have a Mac around, but according to the other commenters it doesn't seem to display much more than the link speed, which doesn't sound too useful to me either.
The wavefunction is deterministic. If you take the MWI as the most straight forward interpretation of the math, then the universe if fundamentally deterministic. Probability on a physics level would represent our ignorance of the other branches.
You know it’s not really a well defined concept. A friend recently pointed out that whitetail deer can be considered invasive in most of North America. While the Eastern woodlands are certainly their original habit, we have eliminated the wolves that would predate upon them. In the absence of predators their populations have exploded - sometimes causing serious ecological issues in the exact same way we see with invasive species which lack predators to keep them in check.
Or it replace it with a handful character you don’t use in your language.

Often non native species are just sitting there. Not being leveraged by the ecosystem because it don’t know what to do with it.
I love ruby having used it since before Rails, but it seems weirdly susceptible to the "with great power comes great responsibility" issue. Dynamically typed + the "don't disallow stupid things or you'll disallow clever things" mentality, maybe? Early adopters like _why who could actually handle it having a huge influence? Dunno.

I've worked with some devs who were not old battle-scarred greybeards who jumped on EVERY rspec feature because they were there and in a misguided attempt to DRY their test code well beyond reasonable limits.

So I feel you here.

But FactoryBot does allow fixture-like speeds with in-memory .build()'ing. Too few people use it, and too few have succumbed to a preponderance of tests being full-on integration style.

Ruby (and Rails, and rspec) all IMO require a lot more good guidance and wisdom on what NOT to use than other ecosystems I've used.
I wish there was a better word. I do TDD when it makes sense, but also write a test afterwards if that makes sense.

I’m personally not strict about TDD. Maybe pragmatic testing development (PTD)? And this is indeed because people have surfaced legit critiques about testing on game software (disposability of the game software, radical sweeping changes of the codebase, etc).

The critiques people have surfaced in response to my OP are valid too in general… but for me I’m trying to embrace a zen of automated testing where I want to do it by default but won’t let it block me from delivery. There just seems to be unconsidered value in writing certain genres of automated tests.

E.g. I’m fine writing a test that asserts behavior on “prefabs” (like classes, whereas instances of the class are game objects in a scene (for those not in the know)) instead of on individual components. This is from experience; the prefab’s behavior typically doesn’t change even if the underlying composition of components might radically change.
As a teenager I once had a summer job as a land surveyor in North Carolina. We saw this stuff all over the place, acre after acre on many jobsites that were deep in the woods or very rural areas. I think this article is underestimating how much kudzu actually has taken over.
as AI gets better, it will start making many developer jobs obsolete (similar to how open source has done over the years, but on a bigger scale).

Many of the things that companies would have created themselves can will now just be generated by AI and can be maintained by inexperienced/cheaper developers).

The same has happened with open source. Aside from FAANG and startups in silicon valley, many smaller companies just use open source projects (which took a lot more skill to create) and hire cheaper developers to make additions (which requires less skill).

It's hard for me to ever support a software developer union when so many in the
community encouraged the demise and devaluing of our craft. It's one of the reasons I finally got out of software development a few years ago after being in it for 2 decades.
I had great coworkers but they were not my friends. Saving 1-2 hour per day of commuting and using my breaks to do chores frees up time to see the people I chose to see.
Your argument here does not really follow. Had Twitter ignored or refused to comply with Turkey's legal demand, then every single Turk would have lost access to Twitter. Instead, a negligible handful did. In many things in life there is no good option nor bad option. There's a bad option, and a terrible one. So focusing on the bad option being bad says very little.
For those like me with the opposite inclinations, try dtach. It is only a session handler. It does not pretend to be a terminal, or do splits or tabs or anything but I/O. That's left to your actual terminal.
I knew someone who killed his friend because he was not wearing a seatbelt.

The guy who was wearing the seatbelt was well-restrained in the back seat. But the guy sitting next to him was unbuckled. The unbuckled man flew into the buckled man, and it is only a matter of luck which of the two skulls will crack. As luck had it that day, it was the buckled man's skull which cracked, leading to his death a few hours later.

I kind of think organic projects need to be a little shielded from the entire world to grow.

To contribute to a walled garden you need to prove to the gardners that you're not going to destroy everything they've strived towards, even if what you're proposing is more efficient or better. Make friends with the Gardner's first, talk to them on their level, prove to them you're willing to jump a little. If you stake nothing of yourself but demand to be let in to let your contributing be known there's a risk that the whole project will lose focus, sure not after first or the second, but maybe after the 10th or 20th contributor with their own destabilising vision of how things should work.

Open source projects need to be democracies from the get go in order to fascilliate such chaos. Otherwise, contributors need to prove that they're at least a little sympathetic to the long term goals of the original authors.
I see what you mean about this particular project, but more generally, you can certainly use pre-modules Go code with current Go compilers. See e.g. https://github.com/golang/go/issues/37797 (a case of someone not RTFMing, but the response illustrates how it's done).

If you just want to pretend modules never happened, then export GO111MODULE=off and use the latest Go compiler.

I did a UK VAT registration in 2020 and it took about a month. I did one back in 2005 or so and it took a similar time. Years is exceptionally slow.

The "additional fee" process is only intended to cover a few months at most. It doesn't work for a long period as your customers can't claim back the amount paid until they receive a replacement invoice formally recordable as VAT, when your registration comes through. If "additional fee" is done for longer, that creates a situation where you end up having to lower your price to business customers who normally don't count VAT in the price because they can quickly reclaim it, but you are still paying VAT on that income (by having to set it aside). That combo is not how VAT is supposed to work.
> Money spent now is worth more than money spent later in more ways than one.

This is so true, thank you for expressing this thought so concisely. In my language (Bulgarian) there's a saying "whatever you eat and drink now, nobody can take away from you", which has a similar sentiment, but also acknowledges the risk of unforeseen future circumstances - nobody can predict if there's going to be another pandemic, economy crisis, war - when calculating future gains one needs to also take the risk of those into account.

open-source
/əʊp(ə)nˈsɔːs/
adjective
denoting software for which the original source code is made freely available and may be redistributed and modified

Adding community to this definition is a stretch.

It really doesn't matter if in practice communities form around projects, there are far more open source repositories on GitHub that have zero outside contributions, those projects are still open source.
I am always surprised to see some people thinking that a company such as twitter is actually a paragon of free speech or that such high values have anything to do with how they run their business.
These remote-vs-office discussions where nobody discusses the actual work involved are fairly pointless. Disregarding the obvious scenarios of presence-required in order to work (i.e. manufacturing), the question applies: what is most productive for "information work"?

In my personal experience, I've found collaboration conducted face-to-face far more effective than doing so in a distributed/online way. There is a high level of context in these situations: the topic of discussion, the interactions among attendees, etc.

On the flip side, standard administrative operations that require nothing more than a terminal/shell? That's not collaborative, don't make those colleagues commute to a remote workstation.

But those employers who "feel their employees aren't so productive" when they aren't in-house -- huge signal they don't know how to really measure productivity.

What I've heard from other colleagues in management roles: the concern with remote work isn't about productivity, it's about _dedicated_ productivity coupled with zero trust. In other words, how do we (the employer) ensure our employees aren't moonlighting on our team and only giving the minimum level of effort with us?

Some irony about the request at the bottom:

> Fund the journalism we need now

> We need you now more than ever. In turbulent times, it is crucial that reliable media remains available to everyone. That is why we depend on your support to keep our journalism accessible and independent. From economic uncertainty to political polarization, the challenges our society is facing today are too important for half-truths.

> At The Walrus, the future of journalism is funded by engaged citizens like you. Together, we can preserve the integrity of Canadian media and ensure that our democracy thrives. Will you join us?

Anyway. I personally hope we see more orgs that are dedicated to niche topics. They do one thing and you go to them to read their one thing, like the institute of war for Ukraine (and iran/Iraq/Taiwan to lesser degrees).

Most news will find its way into the public consciousness if it’s important without journalism.

The US is a geographically very diverse country with high mobility. That means there are a lot of people living in climates they are not used to, so did not learn how to drive when it snows or that you need to change your tires during winter. I am not a meteorologist or climatologist, but I have read from multiple sources that the US has the most extreme weather in the world, including blizzards, "Nor'easters," and lake effect snow. These tend to dump a lot of snow all at once, making preparation more difficult.

I'm in the reverse position: I have TSCM on my shelves but all I know of 99VoaP is what I can tell from Amazon's look-inside feature. My impression is the same as yours: the two books are very very different.

If Julia can make good strides in Science/Engineering/Statistics world outside of DS/ML (that too mostly NN) I'm sure the Julia folks would see that as a major win. Basically a unified next generation language taking over R/MATLAB/Fortran space. I think that field is going to grow dramatically (in adoption of tools) over the next decade as opposed to DS/ML which are already overhyped.

If Mojo finds it groove and can convince people that static typing is a price to pay for performance I think Julia will have to adopt some sort of a pure AOT compilation mode and forgo the Dynamism that keeps that Just- portion lying around which does seem like an issue for DS/ML folks.
Right, that’s how I imagined it. But that’s not avoiding taxes so much as delaying taxes. Taxes are still paid but just slowly as you liquidate only enough to pay payment and pay taxes.

Gaining in value isn’t an issue with avoiding taxes and, I suppose, eventually will result in more taxes being paid.
