<p>Super nice read.<p>> The harder version is asking yourself: if my job title disappeared tomorrow, would I still be me?<p>This part, though, misses an important point: status and wealth. And I think it’s especially directed at those.<p>It can be beautiful to identify yourself with your job if you are a professor or a social worker. The problem is identifying yourself with the social status provided by your job (paycheck and power), not the work itself.</p>

<p>Ok, since I moved to the US from Europe a few years ago my perception of wood has changed a lot, especially for construction. Seeing this reinforces my view.<p>Wood lasts for fucking ever under the proper conditions. Old construction in Europe often only had the beams made of wood, and I always thought that was orders of magnitude more durable than wooden houses, like thousands of years vs decades. I don’t think that’s true anymore.<p>And this might be one of the few environmentally friendly decisions that Americans got better than Europeans, I guess. Wood is still prevalent in construction here, and as far as I know concrete and cement production are quite bad.<p>BTW, I’m a total ignorant about all this so just intuition and probably wrong</p>

<p>I don’t understand why people pretend there’s no paperwork to do in the US. Not only that, but different states have different processes.<p>I think there are some misconceptions about the US and tend to over idealize, especially around paperwork and taxes. And I think it’s precisely that misconception that makes it appealing to foreigners and makes it an attractive place to be an entrepreneur.<p>And again, yes, objectively it’s easier, but I don’t think that’s the main reason the country is successful in this aspect.</p>

<p>I am a European living in the US and my god I am tired of hearing this over and over again. If your biggest hurdle to start a company is the paperwork you’ll have to do for one week, you better think of something else.<p>And yes, there are other way bigger issues in my opinion, such as financing and even social support.</p>

<p>> Then I think you see an early indication not just of electric car dominance, but of the (very potential) rise of China as the premier automotive super power.<p>It’s done man. Americans are stuck in ICE engines because they’ve been told they’re “car enthusiasts” while the Chinese have been developing EV technology for years. Meanwhile, European makers are stuck not knowing what to do, make Americans happy or compete with the Chinese. The result: nothing has been done properly. And let’s be real, “car enthusiasts” are going to disappear in one or two generations. Practicality beats enthusiasm for 95% of car use.</p>

<p>My setup for development is a 16-inch MacBook running VS Code as my frontend, and a powerful Debian server at home as my backend.<p>Inside the Debian server I run pure LXC containers for separate projects, DB servers, experiments... I found this to be by far the best balance of performance, isolation and control compared to other solutions.<p>The only friction was managing the containers (IPs, start/stop, backups, iptables rules) via shell commands constantly, so I crated this thin UI to deal with it.</p>

<p>LXC containers on top of Debian in a specific work station just for this. I have one generic container to start everything, and then create specific ones if projects get bigger.<p>This is by far the best option to isolate and easily create development environments that I found.<p>I connect to the containers from VS Code running on Mac OS.</p>
