NixOS which is a curse because now I weep each time I have to use a distro that is not declarative.

Ireland, in contrast to Northern Ireland, is not part of the UK.

Makes sense, all the best!

Look very cool! Can I self-host this?

+1 to "Thinking In Systems".

Looking for (maybe hidden) stocks in systems also changes how one sees the world.

I wonder what a specific example of this approach would be.

What's your goal?

Kind of similar to error bars on error bars → https://xkcd.com/2110/

Please tell us more!

You can already buy cheap but powerful old servers. But newer hardware tends to be more power efficient. So, depending on time horizon you consider, it might be cheaper to buy newer hardware.

Assuming that GPUs power efficiency will increase, the same will be true about them.

What's your cloud bill?

Check out "Most active 5.10 employers" table (it's from 2020) on https://lwn.net/Articles/839772/

"Seventy-five percent of all kernel development is done by developers who are being paid for their work" -- https://www.linuxfoundation.org/press/press-release/the-linu... (from 2012)

Most (some sources say ~80%) Linux contributors are paid by their employer.

Every coworker I know who use Windows have occasional issues with webcams, mics, Slack notifications, whatever.

Anyone has a link to the talk?

Yeah, it's just better to stick to the standard editor.

Makes sense now, thanks.

To be fair, as a user, I don't see the expression "in-app purchases" while I _do_ see the Apple Pay logo. It's easy to get them confused.

Can you provide an example?

I've just checked 3 different apps which offer premium features. All of them go straight to Apple Pay, without showing any other options.

EDIT: okay, I think get it now. In-app purchases != taking payments in general. E.g. I have different options for payments when using the Amazon app but only Apple Pay when buying a pro version of a metronome app. It's in-app purchases that force Apple Pay.

Not recommended. I did this some time ago and I have to wake up in the morning and commute now.

What scripts do you keep there? What are your use cases?

If you have a dataset for which you know which elements have similar/same style, you can create your own embeddings for style.

Not necessarily. I think that employment has a higher job security floor but a lower job security ceiling.

_In a way_, employment is like having a single client. You have smaller variance month to month but are more prone to unexpected events in the company you work for.

You can build financial resilience by having multiple (preferably diverse) clients.

Another thing to take into account is that you are not in control of being laid off or a client not extending their contract with you. But you are in control of your own savings. And this applies in both scenarios.

> near-complete job security is a must for me

Unless we understand vastly different things by "job security", I have some bad news for you.

Recent years showed that even large, profitable companies with significant cash reserves -- that had a reputation of high level of job security -- are ready to do layoffs as a sacrifice to the gods of Wall Street.

Look what mattered 10 years ago, reflect on that, and draw your own conclusions.
