Eh I think it depends on the country a lot too. The average UK citizen? Probably. Even as someone from abroad, I know the British are widely stereotyped as having cameras everywhere.
But Americans are raised from birth with the idea of “freedom” and a camera pointed at you recording your every move is antithetical to that. They somewhat tolerate it in private establishments like malls and restaurants but not in public spaces.
There’s a bit more nuance as to why. It’s not fair to say that the average JS dev is reaching for a package like is-odd/is-even.
Years ago when npm was just getting started there was a lot of experimentation and land grabbing for packages. A few “prolific” developers were pushing these tiny utilities and then using them in their own projects which ended up being required as deps in other projects and then snowballed into is-odd being included in webpack at some point (I think I have that timeline roughly correct).
It’s still a crappy problem for sure but it’s not fair to paint most JS devs with a brush so broad.
I have a huge problem with pharmacies being closed on Sunday, even in the Netherlands.
I had to spend much more than the cost of the prescription itelf just to travel back and forth to Centraal Station where the only pharmacy that would take my prescription was open, instead of using the local one two blocks away that's closed on Sundays.
lucumo: Ha ha! baby-dump.nl is such a hilarious name, I'm almost tempted to have a baby and change its diapers, just so I can use that web site and support them for being open on Sundays. (But not quite.)
Or is it for scheduling the collection unwanted babies? Never mind...
I had a WTF moment when I saw their logo for the first time, on quite a large building (possibly their main distribution center). Why they thought it'd be a good name I have no idea.
How much code are you shipping in a day? I find I can pretty comfortable use Sol high most of the day and stay within the 5 hour limit. I’ve got too many meetings to allow me time to write code continuously for an entire day. I usually finish about one ticket a day and then review 1-3 tickets for my colleagues.
We have a very lean development process and are in early stages of releasing the software, so almost no meetings and 90% of my time is development time (obv I talk with colleagues etc in that time). For example working with yocto eats through tokens like crazy since codex has to work with a pretty big codebase and look up tons of stuff.
In my opinion this will pretty quickly solve itself though. Accidentally committing keys to the repo potentially ruins your entire week. With a default disallow all list, you might have one bad deploy oopsie and then commit the files.
One problem I see all the time is that people are not using proper tools.
Yeah command line is cool and all but I do believe most of the developers should be using UI tooling where staging area is showing nice diffs.
Built in GIT handling in IDE usually is better than command line but also usually worse than dedicated tool like GitExtensions or SourceTree which are free and are super convenient for staging.
People don't know they don't have to stage whole files but they can stage hunks, well in command line it is too much hassle for me but in GUI tools it is no brainer.
If you are working in a team, maybe. Though you are probably better off making sure any files containing keys are already explicitly listed in .gitignore
Plus, it's not the worst idea to exercise your "whoops we leaked our secrets" procedures. You do have procedures, right?
But I'm a little worried that solo developers might follow this device. And then not notice for weeks or months, losing large amounts of git history in the best case; Or potentially massive amounts of actual work if their original development folder is gone.
Whats wrong with the font size exactly? Im not a desktop to check it but its look fine? A bit unusual but I wouldn’t say a clamp with a bunch of math is invalid.
for me it's just a slight reduction in the font size due to firefox ignoring the above - which doesn't seem enough of a difference to warrant folk calling it outright "broken"
It's entirely possible I'm misreading the spec on clamp() but as far as I understood it, clamp() performs math on a bunch of comma separated fixed values, calc() handles arithmetic operators - this seems to be combining those without a calc invocation, but maybe I misread & overlooked clamp arithmetic operators. Firefox just says it's invalid, no detail on why.
How much do you really need for generational wealth? In my opinion, if you're more than 10 years away from retirement and received a surprise $1 million, you're setup for the rest of your life and your children as well assuming they don't immediately blow it all when you die (that's what a good trust should be for).
Assuming historical returns, your money doubles roughly every 7 years, so within the rest of your lifetime, that 1 million should turn into at least 8. That's an extremely comfortable upper-middle-class lifestyle on the interest payments alone. If your children don't spend it all, your grandchildren would easily have private jet money by the time their parents retire.
1 mil is not generational wealth in the US. It is a big chunk of money, no doubt. It’ll buy a reasonable 2-3 bedroom house in the city I live in, with nothing left over. No one’s definition of generational wealth involves not touching the money for two generations…
We must be operating on different definitions. Generational wealth means you have enough money to meaningfully improve the lives of your kids and give them a leg-up on life. A million dollars is enough to buy a house for each of your 2.5 kids.
If getting a million dollars wouldn't affect how much money you can leave your kids, you already have generational wealth.
> If getting a million dollars wouldn't affect how much money you can leave your kids, you already have generational wealth.
Well said.
Where I live, one million dollars would allow me to pay off my house, open healthily sized investment accounts for my kids, pad my investment account, setup a trust and, overall, set my family up for a comfortable life in the future. I don't see how that isn't generational wealth.
Generational wealth is where you can also do all of the above for your kids and potentially their grandkids as well.
Basically the bar is higher than "something you can pass down". It is enough that the next generation does not need to worry about making money either.
Generational wealth generally is used to mean something like you and at least your children can live very comfortably off of investment income for the rest of your lives, I.e. none of you have to work for a living. That’s why sibling’s def of 1.5-5m per child is much closer to the commonly understood meaning.
We can debate “live comfortably” if you want, but no 4.5 people are doing that from the investment proceeds of 1m.
What you are describing is kind of more like social mobility.
> If getting a million dollars wouldn't affect how much money you can leave your kids, you already have generational wealth.
Generational wealth is definitely not "affect[ing] how much money you can leave your kids." That's an equivocation - if you're leaving your kids a dollar, another dollar will "affect how much money you can leave your kids."
edit: you need a million dollars to securely retire at all, and that's if your parents, kids, or you don't get sick. If they do, a million is not only not "generational wealth" but it may not even last you three years.
Generational wealth is generally used to describe not just a comfortable personal retirement but your children and their children and so on never needing to work if they are remotely responsible with the money.
I have to agree, yurishimo's assumption of returns is wildly optimistic.
At a more sane expected return of 5% annually, you get $50k a year to live off of to just keep what you have (or rather, watch it slowly erode in value due to inflation).
That is basically a one person income, maybe two adults if you pinch pennies and live in a crappy apartment or a low-end house in a midwestern suburb.
You can get a lot more lucky with a million bucks than you can with 10k if you gamble, but there are no guarantees. Risk tolerance is the most impactful variable. For those in the low risk tolerance group, I think you'd need at least 2 mil these days. And that's with being frugal, as well as probably not having much left over for kids.
To do that, you would have to never touch the money and invest aggressively. Most wouldn’t do that unless they didn’t need the money, i.e. already rich so not newfound wealth.
You would also have to train your kids to responsibly use the money without demonstrating it, as you’d just be hoarding it. People don’t have a good track record there, either.
I think the best you could do generationally with a million would be to try to invest moderately and draw down a small percentage (2-3%) to demonstrate fully considered use of the money. This would keep you in a middle class income but give you more ability to donate charitably, vacation together, let one spouse retire earlier, solve a financial crisis for a child, etc.
Letting them in on the thinking would give them a good chance to handle a high six/low seven figure inheritance, depending on how the investing goes.
How much do you need for your children to not work or provide complete financial freedom (i.e. can buy a home, raise a family, etc. without thinking about the income of their job)? That is the "generational" in generational wealth.
You need more than $1.5m today should be $6m by the time they're 20. Depending on inflation, cost-of-living, tuition, etc. that might be enough.
People talking about generational wealth aren't saying, "what if they live a frugal life in the Topeka suburbs."
Technically any asset transferred to the next generation is “generational wealth”.
But in the context of a startup sale, when you say generational wealth almost nobody assumes you mean the ability to pass a few thousand down.
The common understanding is that you have enough money that future generations do not need to worry about money, assuming they maintain an average or slightly above average lifestyle and use the money responsibly.
Assuming you're investing aggressively and not touching that money for the next 20 years, with the nominal return of 6% per year, adjusted for the inflation rate of 3% per year, 1M will increase to 1.8M. Not sure how you came up with 8M.
I'd agree with that sentiment but that number would be more like $5M (which is nothing in the context of this acquisition). Inflation is not going to relent and having enough to actually enjoy some of that payout to have pseudo FU money and leave enough invested for children and grandchildren (a well-managed trust).
Buying a house in desirable areas is going to be in the ~ $1M range, college is going to be hundreds of thousands, etc.
$1 million net worth is massive. You can buy a house in a remote place, invest in companies and live off of the investment perpetually without having to work.
Memory orders mean nothing if the money dries up. Perhaps nvidia can float the entire market for a year or two but if the AI labs don’t start making good on their promises and pony up some cash, everything is going to crash.
