That is a terrific idea and I'll try it if I'm back in the situation again. Thank you!

In Finland in some shops you can take a barcode reader and bag the things directly as you go. In the automated counter you just put in the scanner and pay.

There are no scales and nobody would notice if you just don't scan the item. In theory there are "random" checks. I've never seen one happen though. Not having a huge desperate underclass makes many things a lot smoother.
I'd rather have technical debt than actual debt, personally.
This sounds a lot like passkeys https://developers.google.com/identity/passkeys - I'd be interested to see a more thorough comparison of the two.

Both of these do a challenge-response style authentication with a particular website, and wouldn't really work as part of a decentralized system.

You could use the same signing key ordinarily used to sign authentication challenges to sign nostr notes, but then you're back to square 1 really.

Edit: slightly better passkey info here https://developers.yubico.com/Passkeys/How_passkeys_work.htm...
Great in one way as they don't sugarcoat things like the defaults for the key mappings but not great in another with things like Gnome not supporting middle click for window titles is a problem for someone so aligned with macOS :p.

> i.e. "Getting X amount of business value cost us Y lines of code"?

it's not the lines of code that costs, but time. It may be OK to use lines of code as proxy for time spent - but that sort of assumes that each line took similar amounts of time to write. I am not sure that's really the case, but even if it is, hiring somebody more competent will get more lines in less time!

Therefore, why not just measure the time directly?
Really appreciate some of the advice for sound proofing as well as mention of air quality... All good points.

But it seems that the author's situation is one where an office workspace might be the right choice at least for one of them.

There is clearly too much interference with each other and video recording has a very high bar that is not easy to achieve at home - which are built for living not for professional recording.

I personally have few meetings and working from home is great. Background noise cancelation is fairly decent these days too and 99% of meetings are internal, so a crying child or a partner who is also in a meeting in the room next door isn't an issue.

I've seen people who use testcontainers and run their CI workloads in containers abusing the docker.sock mounting so they can spin up the tests.
The anti-pattern of using docker.sock has been always a threat because when docker got popularity in CI/CD systems it was the easiest way to have a platform independent way to spin up isolated environments. In my perception, this was a very common pattern in Jenkins a few years ago.
There is no such thing as a safe hardware vendor at this time unfortunately. The good thing about Google is they are the only company that actually lets you swap out the software to at least improve your privacy (but they penalize you by blocking payment and auto integration), so it's far better than everyone else, but far from perfect, mainly since the baseband processors are universally closed off.

> AMA licensing, etc. never mind that every country has those, and probably more restrictive versions.

How can they be more restrictive when they are licensing way more doctors? USA is at the bottom of the developed world in number of physicians per capita but also pay the most. The only plausible way that can be true is if USA is the most restrictive in the developed world, like requiring way more years of schooling than necessary or limiting residency spots or limiting how many schools are allowed to educate doctors or making it hard for immigrants to become doctors etc.

Japan has less doctors, but they are also among the healthiest in the world so maybe they don't require as many for that reason. But USA is at the other end of the healthiness spectrum so you can't use that explanation there.
A sufficiently jaded software engineer can even think of technical debt as an asset. It's job security.
Even if the mic doesn’t pick it up, you might still be able to, which can be distracting.
> Isn't it more useful to think of code not as an asset but as a liability?

In my view yes. I often find it frustrating how much code people will generate to solve a problem that occurs extremely rarely and the consequences are not severe anyway. All of that code is now a liability and must continue to cope with any future changes to the system. No matter how elegantly you think you write code, the easiest code to change is the code that doesn't exist at all.

"Recycling" is often a shorthand for any rubbish separation. In various countries now, plastic is separated at the municipality’s order so that it can then be burned utterly in an incinerator (plastic and metal waste are frequently separated together, so the metal can be recovered after burning). Burning prevents even microplastics.

Also, recycling can involve wholly reusing plastic containers several times, not breaking the plastic down to make new stuff. This has been done in e.g. the Nordic countries for decades now: soft-drink bottles are returned to the supermarket at a special machine (so you get a deposit back), then they are washed and refilled by the bottler.

Arguably, adjusting growth projections on the basis of current macroeconomic performance is preferable.

Anything else is tantamount to predicting macroeconomic trends... which, if they have a magic ball for, they can use to make a lot more money than in VC.
Hahaha. As a parent and regular human, I'm fully aware of who can breastfeed. I assume my point was clear though. We need to stop putting all of this on women. Yes there are certain biology issues that require women to take some outsized roles in child development but those aren't permanent and telling women that they should stay home with the kids is usually not aligned with "until they're off the breast and then the father can stay home instead."

Thankfully modern science has invented and improved the breast pump and the bottle warmer and after recovery, women don't actually need to stay home for kids to get breast milk. So there's really no need to be gender specific about which parent should stay home, past reasonable maternity/paternity leave periods.

On the other hand, being single income is a luxury that not everyone can afford anyway. Our living costs have skyrocketed since 2020 and both parents working is necessity for lower and middle income families, in many cases. Even if the second income covers little more than child care, that "little more" is meaningful to people.

If we want better families, we should provide ways for lowering the burden and not force women (her it's women because nothing grows in or comes out of men) to have kids they can't care for and/or don't want and find ways to make childcare more affordable.

I don't think this blogpost is particularly revolutionary, it's fairly standard way of approaching things, but I also think I understand the gist of it.

So the author is somewhat of an consultant, and a company would approach them and ask "Which solution should I purchase?", and the author thinks it's a better approach to consider "What problems am I having?" first, and then which solution is needed becomes obvious.

So Kubernetes is a solution to some problem(s), and unless you actively know and understand the problem you're trying to solve, you might go for a solution that solves a problem you're not having.

Again, the blogpost is not presenting any new ideas, and seems to have been written on a subway ride home from work, but still the process described is useful in a lot of contexts.

The TLDR of the blogpost is essentially: "customize solutions to specific problems rather than blindly adopting popular methods or technologies", or put another way "don't cargocult". That's basically the shortest version possible of this blogpost.

> This being a hobby project may also be a reason why the other programmers want to do things right; they may get satisfaction and learn new things by doing it this way!

That storage room is half of an old 2-door garage. It still has the garage door instead of a wall, floors are concrete, single outlet and light, and has no heating or air conditioning. So it would require similar upgrades but in a much larger space, so fairly costly. Might do it in the future though!

What is antisemitic:
"Accusing the Jews as a people, or Israel as a state, of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust."
"Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor."
"Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel."

What can be used as a guidance:
"Manifestations might include the targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity. However, criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic. Antisemitism frequently charges Jews with conspiring to harm humanity, and it is often used to blame Jews for “why things go wrong.” It is expressed in speech, writing, visual forms and action, and employs sinister stereotypes and negative character traits."

Are you reading this differently than I do? This doesn’t anywhere say you can’t criticise Israel.

But the point is that no one would criticise another country that protects its people against brutal massacre, hostage capture and constant (over 9000 rockets in the last 2 months) rocket fire saying the military action is "genocide", for example. It is not genocide, and unlike most other countries, I assume (maybe if Finland or New Zealand had to protect themselves I imagine), it provides humanitarian routes and drops leaflets with safety advice, calls civilians etc. and then Hamas uses these humanitarian areas and prevents the people from moving to the safer areas. And demanding "cease fire", calling this genocide, or simply chanting "from the river to the sea" is all 100% antisemitic.

Code produces value for programmers, but none for end users. Software businesses can thus usually only charge end users for access to the runnable programs (or running programs, in an SaaS business's case).

You're certainly right that when a business's customers include programmers who want to extend or modify the programs, the source code can be an asset. I was mistaken to say categorically that code's never an asset.

On average, though, I think it's still more often a liability on the balance sheet.

It's why we lionize programmers who cut out thousands of lines without removing any features - they reduced the liabilities while retaining all the assets.
I'm having a great experience using microG, which lets me selectively enable and disable cloud messaging for every app that attempts to use Google Play Services. microG does not implement the ads and tracking (Google Analytics) APIs of Google Play Services. microG also lets me use Mozilla Location Services to replace Google Location Services, which obtains a location much faster than GPS alone. With microG being free and open source, I trust it much more than the proprietary Google Play Services, even with sandboxing applied.

It's weird that the article doesn't mention microG even once, since it's what /e/ uses instead of the Google Play Services client.
Maybe. It’s also increasing the likelihood that security will get a detection though, which might or might not be worth it depending on my goals.

Modeling code as an asset rather than a liability could create a certain culture that drives you off a cliff.

When we were looking at code as an asset, we had lots of microservices and sophisticated contracts between them. We advertised this as some kind of inherent product value (it wasn't).

Only once we started thinking about code as a liability did we begin making serious progress with our customers relative to our roadmap.

We do very little in-house code beyond our core product these days. We got away from custom admin web tools, microservices, fancy SQL, etc.

Everything you have to think about is technical debt to me. If you are mentally preoccupied with A, you aren't thinking much about B, C or D. Fewer moving pieces doesn't always mean less code, but it usually does. This also gets into "innovation tokens", etc
In this case 34235 client refers to `kind 34235` events. In nostr, different event types are distinguished by kind numbers, so clients can be built and filter for events of a certain type.

>Well, look at all the other countries where universal healthcare has been implemented.

Oversimplification. Most countries that have universal healthcare do many other things in addition that you aren't accounting for. The US healthcare system is not the same as Europe's but its not single payer.

>Look at all the countries with free university. Yes, the cost is lower.

See the above.

>Fixed fees and a single payer obviously would have that effect, like everywhere else it's been tried.

So now you're starting to get the idea. It's not just single payer. Never was.

No, representative democracy does not give us freedom.

All representative democracy give us is the ability, collectively, to sack a government that has outlived its welcome for some reason. (What happens after that is a complete crap shoot.)

When opposition parties start to triangulate -- that is, to define their policies in terms of what the government and perceived extreme opposite are doing -- rather than by espousing a concrete ideology or policy platform, we end up with everything converging on one dominant faction's idea of how to do things: a one party state in all but name.

The functionality is an asset; the lines of code to produce the functionality can be considered a liability.

But... if you do the same thing in fewer lines, by writing terser code, that may be harder to understand and therefore maintain, and that's also a liability - maybe more of a liability.

If lines of code are a liability, some lines of code are much more so, because they are hard to understand, overengineered, badly designed, brittle, or probably several other reasons. Code is a liability; bad code is far more so. Get the most assets - functionality - with the least cost - lines of code plus "things that make code more expensive".
Early investors are in the same boat as founders: a down round would hurt them just as much.

I wouldn't call myself a libertarian, but I do find it bewildering when people caricature libertarianism like this.

For one thing, if you go through the exercise of examining the parts of the healthcare system and ask yourself "how much is the state involved in this", I think you may come to a different conclusion. I don't know what to call our trash heap of a system, but libertarian seems obviously not it.

Always liked Reinertsen’s post on reframing tech debt to deferred work.

“When we refer to postponed work as technical debt this automatically biases us to assume that both ongoing and future costs are more certain than they really are. This, in turn, causes us to overestimate these costs, leading us to be overly cautious about deferring work. If it is your intention to bias the decision against postponement, this is clearly the best term to use. However, if you are trying to carefully weigh of pros and cons of postponing work, I’d recommend using a more neutral term like deferred work.”
