Isn't it fairly well accepted at least by some factions that the tax code needs to be entirely simplified and rewritten?

So maybe there doesn't need to be a translation of the old system. But rather a totally new one that could be much more easily created from scratch. In public, on GitHub or something. In a modern programming language. Possibly attached to an Ether-based US cryptodollar.

I find it more likely to be a security or battery performance related tweak. Most things just aren't going to generate peek bandwidth from within a web browser. Network testing tools (including bandwidth/latency testing) belong as native apps, probably precisely for the low level, high bandwidth access.
And I'm not sure how an indication that a Tesla has been tested (and retested) invalidates a claim that 15-20% of all cars are tested. There have been dozens of Tesla models over the years, one would expect at least a handful to have been verified.

Which by the way would have totally sufficed to invalidate the original argument; the ranges are largely self reported, but they do get checked. The process ensures that the ratings broadly reflect EPA's testing methodology, otherwise you'd see the cars that do get tested having abnormally low range at best, and fines and other action taken by the agency at worst.

A Wikipedia link might be a crappy form of "proof", but as near as I can tell the parent post just made up how he or she thought the process worked. If someone says Caesar lived in the 9th century, a link to the relevant page actually is a valid response. If that person comes back with some source material that says otherwise, then you'll need to try harder.
I am not referring to some sort of gateway, ESB, etc. I am referring to the patent application, which would be for a tool to port code from Assembly to another target language, the example they used being Java.
I don't think "opinionated" in the context of a database system means refusing to implement useful features. When I think of unopinionated software, I think of software like Jenkins; it feels like a plugin glue framework that does barely anything useful out-of-the-box and leaves it up to the user to create a working configuration out of the tons of plugins available.

Aside from being immediately useful just as a basic relational data store, my impression of PostgreSQL is that the "opinion" is apparent in the way that new things get done. There seems to be a culture of either implementing things well or not at all, and to avoid rushing things just because people want the new feature right now.

You'd be surprised at what image processing algorithms are fast enough to work in realtime when they have optimised GPU implementations. Anime4K is one of those CNN-based anime upscaling tools, and it can run in realtime as a shader in mpv. (I'm not a fan of those upscaling tools myself, but I don't see why they couldn't be used in emulators, for the people who like them.)

Consider that this effort started 20 years ago, and also consider that if you want to hire a general backend developer today for a reasonable price, Java is the language to pick.
I'm not against preferences and lots of options in general when appropriate, I just don't think they're zero-cost. It's like the surprisingly huge difference between a service being "free" vs. "almost free". But anecdotally (I know...) when fundamental differences between developers are resolved as, "let's just do both and make it an option", it's either people assuming that allowing both behaviors either has no cost, or it's a failure to resolve differences that inflicts one of the thousand tiny cuts that will someday overwhelm the code base.

At the same time, I don't want to be dogmatic about anything, those are just general tendencies. Emacs for example is a beautiful example of an almost opposite design. The software is like a computing instrument that the user has to first learn how to play, but the more effort they put in to it, (up to a point at least, and depending on what they want to do) the more they get out of it. Ultimately it depends on what you're trying to accomplish and who your users are.
- Logdna for logs

Highly anecdotal, but 100% of the software devs I know in this position (living paycheck to paycheck) are living above their means, in a city. If they moved to the countryside (in another country if need be), they would have to work 2 months a year with the same pay with a larger house, garden, savings etc. After covid it is actually easy to do, but before as well if you are not completely horrible at your job. However, they are never going to do it; they need to live where they live for some reason.

In that case; I do not get it. Moving is easy, at least in the EU. They could own their house (there are many houses for sale in villages and country across the EU for 50-100k with garden etc so even in a tight city wage you can immediately own and rapidly pay off a house) and suddenly save money. But then again, I am not attached to places and especially not cities (finally a lucky bet with covid) so maybe I just do not get it.

So you say it wasn’t a joke, you wrote the original comment in Japanese because it was your sincere opinion and you wanted the researchers to understand.

Not sure I follow.

If that were the case you should have written in English, obviously. The paper is written in English, some of the authors have Japanese names but we don’t know if they’re native Japanese speakers, the last author (team leader) has a Chinese name, and everyone who does CS research at this level will understand English just fine.

RHEL 5 is from 2007, and is already past end of life (end of extended support is this November).

RHEL 6 is from 2009, and it's end of life is this November.

Both of those OS are not from 2013 or later. They may have minor versions that were released later, but minor versions typically don't make significant changes to core packages.

RHEL 7 (2014) and Ubuntu 13.04 both have coreutils 8.20 or newer.
> Isn't it fairly well accepted at least by some factions that the tax code needs to be entirely simplified and rewritten?

Unfortunately not the factions with the power to effect change. The tax prep industry loves a complicated tax code, and spends a lot every year lobbying to keep things complicated and keep the government from preparing our taxes for us. The rich prefer a complicated tax code with loopholes that help them legally hide income from taxation. Some of them are Congresspeople, or at the very least are campaign donors.

> So maybe there doesn't need to be a translation of the old system. But rather a totally new one that could be much more easily created from scratch. In public, on GitHub or something. In a modern programming language.

I don't think there'd ever be the political will to start from scratch here, even if that might be the best thing. So we're stuck with what we have, and the legacy system likely has a lot of un- or poorly-documented behavior in it such that it's safer to translate it into a higher-level language where there's more expertise at hand to deal with extending and modernizing it.
But, and I say that as a brutalist hater, W2K is then one of those more humane brutalist designs. Some detailing, rounded instead of sharp edges, a concrete that is ever so slightly warmed toned than basic concrete, nooks and crannies to break up long flat surfaces.

I find flatUI far more brutalist in the way it disorients by removing and humane clues as to its structure and use.
In general, investors would prefer two companies because those looking to invest in retail wouldn’t have to expose themselves to cloud & vice versa. That increase in demand for each component (investors who formerly ignored the stock owing to the above) would make the share price go up, all else constant.

Amazon stock performs well because a lot of investors want access to both, so it’s not that big of a deal. Also Jeff Bezos holds a disproportionate amount of voting power (part of why he’s the richest person is because he held on to an unusually high percent of an unusually valuable company).

Ultimately they won’t split until one of them stops being a world-eating monster because no one will have leverage to force it on Jeff. It may never happen as long as amazon exists. But I guarantee the day amazon cloud stops growing at insane rates, people will call for a breakup.
Hrm, I can't disagree with you because I do side with the "suggests a one way to do it" approach.

Could be I misinterpreted the OP's statement:

> few good people who had the right priorities and made good decisions without drama and without being overly opinionated

I attached the "opinionated" to the people as opposed to the software probably because of the way the sentence was structured.

Perhaps we're all agreeing and saying the same thing.

I'm not sure what ALB assembly is, but I do know disassemblers themselves are kinda rare (which this really isn't either; more of a disassembler+transpiler). On top of that, whatever ALB assembly is, it kinda sounds like there might be only a market of one or two places in the world using it.

Remember, they're saying these systems were put in place in the 60s and 70s. In 1960, COBOL was the new hotness -- modern day Go has 5 years more maturity than COBOL had in 1960, and there was no internet yet. Even ARPANET wouldn't be invented for another 9 years. Whatever was being written back then was not written by developers with the kind of access to information we have today. And definitely not with the kind of storage luxury we have today that permit us to document and comment as copiously as we want to.

Thanks for pointing out that link (I didn't click on it when I originally read the article). Deep in the comments, there's a hint of the reason for this port 7 AGU weakness: not because of the extra gates for another adder, but due to the wiring of the scheduler/bypass network, which is presumably much simpler when port 7 only handles latency-1 instructions (at least if I'm understanding that correctly).

Amazon runs virtually everything on AWS. There are probably some exceptions for exotic infrastructure, but the vast majority of compute and storage systems at Amazon run on top of AWS. There's probably a team using every single AWS service somewhere in the company.

This doesn't mean that Amazon only uses AWS products, though. Amazon continues to use e.g. Akamai for static content hosting for some use-cases, in addition to using CloudFront for other use-cases, and other products beyond that.

Amazon also uses third-party services. For example, while Amazon has long been using Chime internally for IM, chat, and voice/video calling (Chime being the AWS solution for those things), they recently announced a partnership with Slack [1]. To summarize, Amazon will deploy Slack and use it for chat, while Slack will deploy Chime and use it for voice/video calling. I believe that Slack has been running on AWS since its founding [2]. I would hazard a guess that an undertone of the agreement is that Chime will continue focusing on its strength (which is voice/video calling for organizations) and probably not invest a lot in the chat features where Slack is already strong, and vice versa.

All that being said, certainly not everything runs on AWS across all of Amazon, which is a big company, with a host of acquisitions like Zappos, Twitch, Whole Foods, etc., that come with their own legacy or custom infrastructure.

But bread-and-butter software teams at Amazon all typically run on AWS.

Because the IRS Masterfile is hard. Nobody alive today knows how it all works and 99.9% of coders have no experience with something that complicated.

At the IRS, when the screen said one thing and the docs and regs said another, the software was right. Every time someone filled out the paperwork thinking theyd found a bug, a couple months later a letter came back with 20 years of tax code citations showing why you were wrong.

We only found bugs in the software for new tax programs.
