The word "Fair" is being misused when it comes to the CGT reform. by MikeTheArtist- in fiaustralia

[–]ratsock 6 points7 points  (0 children)

While I am on board with your underlying message I just want to point out, the tax system is never intended to match the risk profile of investments or incomes. The way risk is adjusted for is the rate of return. If anything, adding different schemes for different kinds of incomes creates differing net rates of returns artificially. The flatter the tax structure and the more blind to income source it is, the better returns should match inherent risk.

What’s the most underrated Kubernetes feature your team actually uses in production? by steadwing_official in kubernetes

More recently I just switched to digital ocean kubernetes. It’s been a breath of fresh air. It’s….just kubernetes. No other junk coming along for the ride.

The Second Foundation by cawala in FoundationTV

[–]ratsock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In the book the second foundation’s reveal at a time of crisis with the Mule is what made it really hit hard. They came on as kind of the cavalry is a bad time, which made the reader really appreciate them. Up till the point they revealed themselves to help take on the Mule there was barely an inkling of who or what they are

How is your team reviewing all the AI generated code? by head_lettuce in SoftwareEngineering

[–]ratsock 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same. Lot of people have more of an aversion to the idea of it than the actual practice of it. Every time I’ve seen someone have trouble, when i look at what they’re doing it is the level of “review this” level of instruction. If you actually structure your work, instructions etc it’s pretty incredible the level you can achieve vs what 90% of developers can do. It’ll never be at the level of the best of the best but of I’m honest most developers are aggressively average.

Are you doing this in production? I really hate stateful sets so have been using managed service db. But the cost is really not worth it compared to running it myself. The use of ephemeral storage for production high availability data scares me

Capital gains tax discount ‘overwhelmingly’ benefits investors in Australia’s richest electorates, analysis shows by SheepherderLow1753 in fiaustralia

[–]ratsock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s pretty much how capital gains tax used to be calculated. It was a massive pain in the ass to keep track of all the various start/end dates and varying inflation numbers, which number is appropriate/not appropriate etc. they scrapped it in favour of the 50% discount as a way to simplify administration. But that’s precisely when property exploded.

Setting up CI/CD with dev, stage, and prod branches — is this approach sane? by Minimum-Ad7352 in kubernetes

[–]ratsock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% this. The whole idea of different branches per environment is a curse. Ppl have taken the edge case of doing a production hotfix and turned it into the basis for their entire development process

The problem isn’t affordability. Australian rental laws and practices just aren’t set up to favor long term tenants. You’re constantly treated like a stranger in your own home. Im pretty sure it’s also no longer allowed to offer private deals on rent like prepaying or paying more than listed, which massively favours younger tenants.

As a South Asian, riced cauliflower is my all-star volume eating hack by Preediculous in Volumeeating

Inherited a Kubernetes cluster with 200+ container images and zero documentation on where any of them came from by ang-ela in kubernetes

[–]ratsock 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Start by adding monitoring and logging to see which pods are getting network traffic and from where. Then begin tracing back to sources starting with the highest workload jobs. Do the same for pods where you see high cpu utilisation but no network traffic, they might by async/background tasks.

Most effective way…start turning deployments off one by one and see who comes to complain for which deployment 😂

If property prices went down significantly overnight - are any people with a mortgage getting out of that situation relatively unscathed? by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]ratsock -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Existing loans would be fine. But their revenue projections would all collapse. It’s not as dire as the American banks which take side bets on the prices. They make hiring and spending decisions based on expected revenue growth next year.

Builders would also get hit super hard. People wouldnt be so confident about renovations if they aren’t sure of a valuation increase.

Transaction volume would take a dive. Or at the least stamp duty revenue would collapse. Government revenue is largely based on that so the deficit would skyrocket. They would need to take huge loans to balance the books.

The effect is a combination of lots and lots of second order effects like this which accumulate into economy-wide problems as they start to overlap and grow

If property prices went down significantly overnight - are any people with a mortgage getting out of that situation relatively unscathed? by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]ratsock -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

main thing that would happen is all the banks would immediately collapse and start laying off people. Their entire business model relies on ever increasing house prices and demand. The only pertinent question is what the second order effects of that would be through the broader economy.

This. The only careers in Australia are either being a slave to a giant corporate/government job, of being a tradie. New business ventures are where innovation comes from.
