I asked her if she spoke Russian or Ukrainian, being from Ukraine. She went off an a rant about how she’s not Russian, and got pissed off about everything from that point forward.

Bullet dodged.

I think you mean parasitic relationships.

Just hits the balls hard.

Sorry to break it to you, but everyone projects their own experience. A man’s experience is just as valid, even if you disagree with it.

If that were the case, the scientific method would not exist.

I create a projector and sensor in one lens to view the world in my image. I then grant my projectors the ability to run film reels I create. I keep the ability to punch holes to myself so that I don’t lose track of the reels I’ve made myself. I then allow my projectors to generate film off my original template, but they can’t make punched film. I then use attention and inattention to measure trustworthiness and use it to understand why parts of me misbehave when turned into projectors.

The xz backdoor hidden in precooked blobs would like a word with you.

It still might. Redox is a microkernel based around L4 architecture, but not formally verified.

Fine, I’ll bite.

I’m one of the privileged who own a home which doubled in value over the last three years. I have enough free cash flow to buy a second or third rental property. I’ve contemplated it, and even though me and my family would be better off because of it, I refuse to.

I have friends who do so, and I’m not running to chop off their heads. People are born into this system and personally benefit from it, so they don’t question it.

The housing system is a wealth cheat code that needs reform. We’re heading towards something similar to the Chinese ghost cities where wealthy individuals use land as a bank due to the volatility of other financial instruments. Look at the occupancy rate of the numerous NYC skyscrapers that all popped up at lightning speed before this whole market was projected to inflate in value. People own these and other “investments” completely empty to hold value. Most are unrented.

It boils down to the personal freedom that wealth affords. You have more freedom to accept less compensation because you own land. You support public infrastructure, which is commendable, but you have that privilege on the backs of others. You’re not alone, and the law promotes this behavior. It’s like you’ve drilled another hole in society’s boat, but you bucket back the water to compensate. The boat is still sinking on the whole as not everyone uses their time generously.

There are other ways to add value to society that provide passive income that don’t have the same negative consequences (that we’ve identified anyway). You’re acting as a rational actor playing by the rules; those rules just happen to be broken.

Thanks for contributing to the record of public code that will benefit society. I just hope we won’t need these harmful wealth loopholes in the future to afford you (or anyone else) that comfort.

That’s nice you rationalize it. The damage you’re doing is minimal, so don’t worry about the avalanche snowflake.

I understand you’re working, but you’re not working as much as the people you rent to (at a minimum to make up for the rent). They may have the means and not feel the impact, but that doesn’t change the math.

The market is based on supply and demand. You reduce supply, therefore increase demand. More demand equals higher prices.

Seeing as how you lack the basic understanding of these concepts, yet respond with arrogance, I won’t bother replying anymore.

The problem for me is portability. Flatpak, Snap, Appimage, docker, podman, lxc, they all do the same thing, but they’re splitting the market into “servers” and “desktops”.

We need a portable container runtime we can build from a compose file, run cli or gui apps, and migrate to a server with web app capability displaying the UI. There are too many build targets, and too much virtual market segmentation.

Nix tries to solve the issue, but the problem is you have to use Nix.

The high frequency traders have specialized hardware that executes trades on nanosecond scale directly connected to exchange DRAM. They can make a trade on an asset and reverse it before anyone even knows it was a bad trade. Meanwhile the dumb money waits.

So you’re not working and collecting money for it so that you have more free time to yourself that you use for your own personal interests.

You then make sure the people you rent to don’t have that free time, and raise the overall property prices by taking an available unit off the market.

Got it.

The bottom line. We devised a system (note, it’s not some natural system, people made this) that allows a finite resource to be claimed indefinitely.

A developer comes and builds an apt complex, then collects rent on it FOREVER. The initial value they added to housing flexibility and additional housing expires, but the value they extract does not.

As available land disappears over time (which all finite resources do when being consumed), wealth inevitably coalesces to the owners. It seems fair at first, but it ignores what makes an economy work. It allows people to not work and extract value from others over time. It is not sustainable.

You can own an entire forest just so you can enjoy a stroll by yourself, while an entire group of people are left on the outside owning nothing. If you can’t use your land and block access, you’re hurting society more than helping.

It’s somewhat like an insidious monopoly growing slowly. Rent to own as an option is a much better system.

Similarly. You cannot forgive yourself until your forgive your transgressor. Pent up anger is no god for your health.

How is he confusing the two? We selectively breed dogs for traits and do not allow their offspring to procreate. I’m sure there are puppy mills that kill the “undesirables” too. I don’t think OP is conflating anything.

Magnus Carlsen isn’t good at astrophysics. Just think about what that means for a little while.

You’re getting downvoted, but the only way a business buys frameworks is if they’re running a pilot program. They are just not proven in that environment yet.

For a dev going to a coffee shop… sure. It’s your work laptop.

Newer ones flex a lot more.
