Exactly. If we really think taxing corporate profits is a good idea, then let's direct our ire at our elected representatives for cutting corporate taxes and adding ways for companies to avoid paying tax.

Ultimately, though, I'm not sure taxing corporate profits is all that useful. Increasing income taxes for higher earners, giving the estate tax its teeth back, and possibly implementing a wealth tax, will likely give the same (or better) results, while eliminating so much of the waste that goes into creative accounting and keeping cash and income segregated in tax jurisdictions more favorable to the company.

On top of that, I would also be in favor of executive pay caps (expressed as a multiple of the average or median employee salary, or something), which could encourage companies to pay their employees better, or be stuck paying their executives worse. Incentives for reinvesting profits domestically could also help keep companies from hoarding cash.

Thankfully I don’t live there so I know my chickens and goats are those that I see hanging out in front my house.
While in most of my code, I don't really care about operator overloading (ie not having it would not make my life any worse), but when I write shader code (or a C++ library like GLM) to do mathy stuff, but including vectors and matrices, I am very glad to have overloaded operators and dread the idea of having to work around the language to express what I want. I'm not thrilled about having to duplicate the code (once using X.add(Y) and a comment to show a clearer version) here, but its better than nothing.

Of course, if we just use s-expressions, then there's no difference between operators and functions and this whole thing becomes moot. Although, with the caveat that your nice infix math expressions are still not nice infix math expressions. Then again, if we are using sexps, then we're likely using a language with macros and writing an infix macro for those mathy parts wouldn't be such a bad idea... ;-)

One could argue Amazon's success is based largely on the unfair sales tax advantage it had over brick-and-mortar retailers. Brick-and-mortar retailers were compelled to pay sales tax under the penalty of law, while Amazon had a built in 6-9% since it didn't have to collect sales tax.

I'm not saying that's the only reason Amazon is successful, but it absolutely played a role. My early shopping with Amazon was always of two varieties - to purchase things I couldn't find elsewhere or to save money on more expensive purchases. Only relatively recently has Amazon become the most convenient way to shop.

I worked on such a project 8 years ago. I actually ended up building my own OCR engine, after annotating manually about 50 receipts (about 8000 characters if I remember correctly). Some of the problems I encountered back then is that snapping a picture of a receipt with your phone will result in weird lighting conditions and angles which will mess with the OCR engine. The second problem is that it's hard to keep the receipt straight while taking the picture, so it will be hard to identify lines in the picture, because they will be curved.

To some extent, all this is solved by some modern APIs, such as what GCP or AWS offer, for doing OCR for you. But as far as I know, there is still one more challenge: interpreting the text. Inferring what each line is, what's the price for which item (some receipts have the price on the same line, some on the next line, some above) is quite hard. I tried to do it with rules (regexes and lots of ifs), but even a 95% accuracy of the OCR engine will trip you up.

You can probably frame this as an ML problem as well, but I don't think you'll find any datasets for this.
Does it work for Android and iOS applications?
I'm optimistic here. This stuff probably feels intimidating to most PM-types, though interestingly, it's a wonderful era for security engineers. We're in a new era of reified/virtual/sofotware-controlled-everything. There are multiple layers of virtualization already at play with each supporting all sorts of controls nowadays. Hypervisors, VMs, os / docker, networking layers can all be instrumented now -- GHA certainly does tricks here to speed up things, save money, and isolate tenants. However, they don't expose those controls too apps, so we're all an action away from a remote code execution doing... well.. anything.

I'm not sure on cathedral vs bazaar. I think it's more like disneyification: instead of handling this stuff, they want it to be a few buttons, and as soon as it's not, it's your problem. Except by nature of the intended use of actions, that's pretty fast. The other side of the spectrum is something like AWS's thrusting of a giant ball of IAM at everyone... but there is plenty of middle ground.

RE:artifactories & repos, github wants you to use those as its part of their monetization strategy -- onramp for a few paid areas + less public internet traffic costs for them. Likewise, as most package managers now have enterprise stewards or b2b investors backing them, the harder / more core parts of the tech is in place for locking down sw deps for most ecosystems.

I was excited when MS bought GitHub primarily because they could accelerate GH to support more of the software dev lifecycle. For the security side, I like they've pushed on auditing, but what could be a massive business for them and boon to the community has instead felt quite slow and small. The dev org is clearly great, just seems lopsided on focus wrt security approach.
That makes a big difference indeed. It wasn't clear to me from the article, but string yaml + optional schema sounds like a useful combination.

Solar and wind take significantly large amounts of land to generate electricity. NEI estimated in 2015 that wind farms require 360 times as much land to produce the same amount of electricity as a nuclear energy facility while PV solar requires 75.

I think the better investment is solar/wind + storage with significant investment in storage technology. BTW, cheaper storage addresses the transportation issue as well.

That being said, the cost of natural gas, particularly in the US will keep natural gas power plants in the equation for a long time.
In terms of extracted cash? Given that the top 1% now-famously have more funds than the bottom 90%, taxing the wealthiest will definitely make more of a difference.

The number of poor people doesn't matter -- only how much large their total pool of cash is to extract from.
On the off chance that you don’t understand the downvotes: all corporations, public and private, pay taxes on recognized income.
The corporate tax exists as a policy lever to get companies to do things. It's unpalatable to actually spend money on solar power, but tax credits kinda work the same way. Lower risk in a sense, since there's no outlay if nobody does anything, at the cost of stupidly complex laws and exceptions.
I pay income tax, then I take some of the money leftover to buy food and pay sales tax. Was I double taxed? Where is the "complete misunderstanding"?

It often feels like HN threads on big company taxes revolve around the same patterns, the people that repeat ad nauseam "but if it's legal it's legal!" and the ones that bring up double taxation as if that is some sort of tax cheat code.

Another anecdote: I rent a 50m^2 apartment. Electricity consumption for the apartment, averaged over trailing 12 months, is 4.5 kWh / day. This excludes: energy for stove top/oven (natural gas) and energy for hot water (paid for as part of rent, cannot see the details). Consumption for two people, including one person working from home full time. Relatively modern apartment that is warm enough in winter without active heating.

This will not be representative of energy usage in houses, larger apartments with many exterior sides & lots of exposed glass.

edit: house prior to that was an older 100 m^2 semi-detached house with much worse insulation. Similar setup with natural gas for cooking & hot water. Annual electricity consumption was 1750 kWh / year so about 4.8 kWh / day on average, for two people. Not so different to the current situation. Curious. From memory we ran the air conditioner on a few days in summer and electric heating in the depths of winter. From memory the house was somewhat unpleasantly cold some of the time so perhaps we tended to put on warm clothing rather than try to heat the whole place.

I agree that their claim of perfect timing is unlikely. Typically each twisted pair is deliberately spun with a different (but constant) number of twists/distance. Crosstalk is reduced by doing this. Most of the rest of the transfer function issues are resolved by the DSP equalization (done by the PHY) that occurs when the link is negotiated.

It's possible that in their cables, each twisted pair has a shifting number of twists/distance, and that the shifts are staggered across the four pair to ensure perfect electrical distance while maintaining good crosstalk isolation.

What is not said is that it is completely unnecessary to have perfect timing because the DSP equalization will correct for the timing offsets.

Good.

We should keep corporate income tax 0% forever, and take the tax revenue via capital gains (or dividends) instead. That's a lot simpler, fairer, and stops funneling money into the lawyers devising corporate taxation strategies that make the tax useless in the first place.
I know of at least one other use of operator overloading which is quite pleasant to use. In Lua's PEG engine, Lpeg, operator overloading is used to express combinators, so `P"a" * P"b"` matches "ab" and `P"a" + P"b"` tries to match "a", then tries to match "b".

It's a little bit of a kludge! But a clever one, which uses the precedence of the existing operators to match the expected precedence of concatenation and the `/` ordered choice operator from PEG grammars.

In general I'm suspicious of arguments that boil down to "people might use this language feature badly". I'm not sure I want the full ability to add my own infix and postcircumfix operators, the way e.g. Raku allows, but there's no denying that being able to write `if foo ∈ test_set` is expressive and cool.

Maybe expressive and cool isn't a terminal value for language design, maybe `if test_set.element(foo)` is good enough. I kinda like it though.
Hardly. It's not about scarcity for PoS+T. The pollution, heat, and energy waste of Proof of Work far outweigh and minimal change in the cost of storage that PoS+T might bring.

Obvious code should have obvious properties, in which case you should be able to gain value from property tests. If you make every little function high-quality and well tested, you should end up with better code overall. The only functions, IMO, that don’t deserve properties as much as functions which are exclusively the composition of other functions without any other logic. In that case, the function is often, by definition, its result.

May sound a bit generic, but here is what I advise junior devs when joining the team:

“Don’t just read the code guidelines, try to search the ciérnase for a similar case to the problem you are solving and apply the same principles. Generally, look around and make your code blend. Then review your own PR, sometimes it’s easy to spot mistakes when looking at just the diff.”

In addition, I tend to repeat myself a ouch times so they “get it”, but I do expect not to have to point out the same mistake over and over again, so pay attention to what’s pointed out during review and remember it for future reviews!
If you’re talking about the SuperMicro reporting, this isn’t the case. It wasn’t nitpicking, it was a garbage story that was thoroughly debunked.
Well, the main direction of refinements at this point seem to be around composable/heterogeneous computing where we basically have a lot of hardware optimized for specific workloads and throw the complexity at the software people. i.e. now deal with GPUs, DPUs, FPGAs, xCPUs, etc. instead of (largely) just a standardized set of CPU instructions.

Yeah that's the one I recommend if someone wants to try Forth for something besides microcontrollers.

It is traditional to create your own Forth at some point (Ex: look for JonesForth or PunyForth) just for fun and to get a solid understanding for what a potential Forth could look like. You can make an entire Forth VM with lots of the main needed functions in a few pages of Python. Of course, performant varieties are traditionally done in either Assembly or C. Before you write a Forth though, it helps to play around with a decent Forth system to start thinking in concatenative programming terms. All you have is a stack and functions (i.e. words) to operate off of the stack. It makes it really easy to make DSLs. 8th itself is written in C++.

The GUI stuff works. The download (trial is free and simple) comes bundled with the full toolchain, lots of examples, and some GUI tools for doing builds for those that don't like the command line. It used to use the JUCE C++ library for GUI, but Ron switched to Nuklear a few versions ago. I built a few simple GUIs, but nothing fancy. I'm sure there is a little bit of a learning curve.

So if it is theft and we stop taxing people, wouldn't it require either your government to fall under its own weight giving rise to anarchy until someone strong arms or new government, or you go full socialist and the government owns nearly all business and can thus pay for itself out of business profits which is just taxes in another form?

I've been experimenting with using tesseract to get information out of scanned tutorial roll sheets, with surprising success. If you ask it for tsv or hocr output, it will give you a bounding box for each word. To extract a student's attendance information, I grep the tsv files for a student ID number or name, get the y position with sed, and combine slices of the page images with Image Magick (in my case I want to see all the handwritten ticks and numbers). You might be able to do something similar looking for numbers on the same line as key words like "Total" or "apples" or whatever. Some of your success will depend on how well you scan the receipts.
