  3. If you have 51% of the money in the US, I'm sure you can put whoever you want in office. Or skip that entirely and build a robot army. Government spending in all its trillions is only about 26% of the economy. You would dwarf the government in spending power.

  9. 401 k:
    * you choose to invest or not
    * you defer taxation
    * money is in your account
    * you choose how the money is invested
    * your employer throws free bonus matching money in for free

    Tax:
    * you are forced to give up the money
    * money goes to the state
    * you have no direct say in what the money is used for
    * failure to comply results in jail

    Please tell me in what way a 401 is 'essentially taxes'?

  10. How much bread do you eat? :)

    I'm pretty sure you can make enough on the weekend to last all week.

  11. You can buy fancy pizza anywhere. Getting a pizza in Little Italy in Baltimore won't be $12. You can get generic pizza anywhere too. Dominos runs their two two-topping pizza deals for $5.99 here just outside Seattle the same as many other areas.

  12. This is why so many tech people are moving to Seattle. Housing is way cheaper than SF, major tech companies are here, and there's no state income tax in Washington.

    You can run redis in bash on windows. You can't do that in Cygwin. It's being able to run any Linux binary, not just the GNU tools like awk, grep, etc.

    WSL as a whole is a beta product. You can only run it in windows 10, not on any windows server versions

    Insider builds are even more beta

    This was caught.... but some one person decided this wasn't enough of an issue to kill off this insider build. Annoying given the coverage this has gotten. Maybe they just wanted to get the syscalls postgresql needs out asap, who knows

    The target audience is developers where windows is their primary platform, but like everyone we use some Linux tools. Windows ports of Linux programs all feel like ports and some (looking at you Couchbase) randomly spike CPU and drive me crazy.

    Why not in a vm? It's an option. But my machine only has 16 gb of ram. I dedicate 8 to my windows dev vm. I could afford a couple for another vm. But what should I run? A coreOS vm to run docker containers? A centos vm to match our postgresql host? Rhel for the weird government product we offer?

    Lots of vms gets taxing on resources quickly

    I don't get it. It's far superior. I had redis running in bash on windows a few minutes after reading that it was possible. Cygwin will give you grep, etc, but bash on windows lets you apt-get any binary out there that runs on Ubuntu. They don't all work yet, but it's much more powerful. While ctrl-c is an embarrassing bug, this update also included implementations of syscalls that postgresql needs to install and run

    There are only a small fraction of popular open source projects where this is true. The large majority of open source projects, by number, get no such love. I've been appalled at some of the problems in the own source projects I've used the most, like Couchbase and RabbitMQ. RabbitMQ doesn't run in background threads in windows at least and made our console apps hang when they ended due to this, and the devs wouldn't accept that this was a bug so we had to fork it. Couchbase's .net client had a thread.sleep command in it's finalizer code at one point. Open source != quality. Quality == quality.

    My issues with this article:
    *ASP is called dead, but the inputs for the article are all from 2013-now
    *MB isn't clarified. From the numbers I think they're comparing compiled apps MB against scripting apps MB, where one is either native code or intermediate, and the other is plain text files. They briefly mention there are problems with "problems power KLOC", but they don't mention what those problems are.
    * JavaScript apps have almost no security flaws, but .net, php, etc have XSS vulnerabilities - no they don't, only JavaScript is XSS. Counting the flaws in emitted js code as php or asp is weird
