> i'm opposed to financial compensation (and all forms of money) as an organizing principle of society.

What does this mean? It is the nature of animals to evaluate and rank each other, least of all for mating purposes. Not using money will not change that, and another proxy will be used.

> Specifically about COVID though, I don't know about where you are, but here in France "thank you" for health workers was perceived to be very insulting.

It was the same in the US. The thank you and hero nonsense was seen through by all, but I guess plausible deniability is worth it amongst the managing class.
I've seen non speaking babies giggle and smile hearing a fart. I suspect fart jokes go back much farther than that. However, this article is about the oldest recorded joke.
The madness affects both sides. I lean liberal and the insanity and obsession with Trump and turning him into a boogeyman has me no longer supporting the left.
GvR could just do what Linus did and bump the major version number at arbitrary intervals. Remember when the kernel seemed to be stuck forever at 2.6.xx?

Insofar as semver is concerned, IMO most programming languages move too slowly. Minor version bumps often come with a bunch of backward incompatible changes and deprecations. Any one of them could justify a major version bump.
That’s called dual core lockstep and it’s very common in automotive and other applications where reliability is paramount.
That reminds me of the original Linux versioning scheme[1] which was supposed to stay 2.x forever:

<odd>.x.x: Linus went crazy, broke absolutely _everything_, and rewrote
the kernel to be a microkernel using a special message-passing version
of Visual Basic. (timeframe: "we expect that he will be released from
the mental institution in a decade or two")

Now we're at major version 5 and still no Visual Basic rewrite. :(

It's mind boggling how many features Teams Calls are missing.

It still does not have an "annotate" tool. Other features are good-to-have, but not being able to point things out in a shared screen is a deal breaker for remote work collaboration.
What should not be allowed is a president attempting a coup by asking his supporters to attack the seat of our government to try to overturn an election he lost, using obvious lies and propaganda. Oh wait in fact it is not allowed as per our constitution!

If you're paying dividends, you're not paying 40% income tax on that.

Microsoft employees are also paying 20-40% income tax remember.
> taxing corporations is pointless

the argument for taxing profits:

- incentivise investments

- companies are less likely to hide expenses like salaries

- It's more fair for high cost business (car company vs google)

Personally, I'd tax all corporation 3% of their revenue. You could lover it by to 2% by what is your operating profit ratio to revenue. You can lower it to 1% by a list of 20-30 deductibles e.g. you install solar panels. BUT the minimum you have to pay is 1%.

If your company cannot pay 1% of the revenue you don't have a viable business. Average corporation spends more on accounting and consulting.
Nice, I like the look of the editable table.

Shameless plug: a similar solution, working all client side, not imposing to use a key as first column, and with options regarding CSV format.

How to show such numbers exist? Chapter 1 states they can be constructed from the real numbers and this construction is discussed in the epilog, but (I dont have enough time probably) there seem to be only some axioms in the epilogue but not a construction (or proof of existence).
Oh, it's great that it's great society. Sucks pretty hard for him though.
That's why you use WORM Tapes and versioned files if its really important data.
It also hurts that Fox News, the most popular news channel, is owned by his political opponent in the conservative field.

All other news channels spent the last 4 years barred from even attending his press conferences so they can’t be on his side.

Finally, he spent his last weeks of his presidency alienating his most hardcore supporters (e.g. the proud boys, parlor). Had he thrown them the smallest of bones then they might still be on his side rather than feeling betrayed as they do today.

Basically all this show is if you aggressively shoot yourself in the foot, don’t be surprised to find you now have no foot.
Yep, totally understand that.

That's the standard common advice that I'm referring to and that the post I replied to seemed to suggest is not what a (better) accountant would recommend.

The issue was addressed very quickly, and I was able to try Helix out. I love it! However, some modes are not working (LSP?), and it crashes when I am using it. I can pull up file view, but I am not sure how to jump up a directory. I think I will put it on the backburner and either look at the code myself, or wait until the bugs are worked out for Windows 10. I really like it though. Changing colors would be cool too.
It takes some time to come across the right idea. But it could be something you need that has already been built. Even though it's already in the wild, there might be demand for a new SaaS built for a specific framework or group of developers. Just because someone has already built something similar doesn't mean there is room for one more SaaS. I will say it seems like the majority of the success stories I come across are tools built for developers. So I would focus your attempts at developers. If you can create something to save them time or money, some of them will be willing to pay for it.

I don't want to go back.

I've joined the company during the height of the pandemic. Hat to relocate. Then I've rented a very nice apartment just the other side of the street from the company building.

Then the company moved to a presumably cheaper building which is on the other side of the city. And you guess it... because COVID and remote work.

I've talked to my relevant managers (the ones that actually mange stuff I do) and they don't care if I work from home. I hope non productive (HR etc) doesn't try to impose some "return to normal" bullshit. I've been stacking reputation through productivity like crazy to be able to resist it in case it happens.

Modern embedded cores have self-testing code that detects anywhere from 50% to 90%[1] of faults in the hardware, including from ageing.

If google and the other hyperscalers complain enough, there’s no reason Intel couldn’t give them some self test to run every hour or so.

[1] depends on how complex the CPU is, how long you accept to run the self testing code, and how well it was done.

> The daily routine and commute helps reset your brain and get you in/out of "work mode"

This paints a rosy picture of the daily commute which is simply not true [1]. Furthermore, the argument that going into the office gets you in and out of "work mode" doesn't stand up either. With instant communication channels like email, Slack, et al and a lack of labor regulations regarding after-hour work communications (at least in the US), we were never able to be out of "work mode" pre-pandemic either.

Yep, the current corporate tax laws basically punish single-nation companies, while giving multinationals a free pass. International tax laws desperately need an overhaul.
If (when) new people stop buying into a pyramid scheme, all they have are worthless tokens nobody else wants.

If new people stop buying into AAPL or GOOG, all shareholders have is a share of a massive pile of cash and a business which generates billions in profit every quarter. For related reasons, people are likely to continue buying into AAPL or GOOG, AAPL and GOOG can buy back their own shares or find other investors easily if a major investor wants out, and even if for some strange reason nobody at all wants AAPL or GOOGL, shareholders would still expect to get back what they paid in dividends in the long run by holding.

Of course, the businesses can still underperform expectations or fail, but there's a difference between an investment that underperforms because the company isn't good enough at making money and an "investment" that will eventually fail because there isn't actually anyone making money out of anyone other than "investors"
> I would rather pay someone to take my turn for me.

Yeah, that's precisely what's wrong in our society that it appears normal to pay for inconveniences to disappear. Except of course for most of us who don't have money so we get paid shitty wages for making other people's inconveniences disappear. If such jobs were the highest paid, that would be less of a problem of course. But the highest paid jobs under capitalism are the least useful to society at large because they don't produce anything (CEOs, managers, financial/legal advisors, marketers, etc).

> I’m better doing some things than others.

That makes sense. However some tasks such as cleaning are not skilled labor. Yes it requires (some) learning, but by the second time you've cleaned a toilet you pretty much know how to do it for the rest of your life. Cleaning a single toilet takes about 5 minutes and is not much effort (contrary to doing that for a living)That makes sense. However some tasks such as cleaning are not skilled labor. Yes it requires (some) learning, but by the second time you've cleaned a toilet you pretty much know how to do it for the rest of your life.

> I’ve lived in communities (...) my toilet

We're probably not living in the same kinds of communities then if you've got a personal toilet. In the communities i've resided in everybody's got their personal room but everything else is communal.
They are surely talking about Europe. Not US.
Actually I think the transition to Python3 went pretty well. Most people are on 3 now, and Python's ecosystem is thriving.
Thanks for bringing that up. I wholeheartedly agree with you. I am currently a reliable democratic voter but I wasn’t always on that side of the aisle. The idea of fiscal conservatism really appeals to me in the sense of a balanced budget and judiciously defined social programs that maximize ROI for the country. But social conservatism has been a pretty big moral failure, rooted in a number of moral panics. What exactly is wrong with being gay? Or trans? Or a woman? Or black? That part really became hard to swallow. But even if I ignored that, the GOP basically sold their soul for Trump’s Twitter following and at this point has no actual platform. Between 2017 and 2021 they racked up more national debt than any other government so even the pretense of fiscal responsibility is gone now. I know that supporting Democrats isn’t palatable to a lot of traditionally conservative voters but I am glad some are seeing more clearly what’s going on.
I don’t disagree and that is largely the consideration behind my closing statement. Nevertheless, keep in mind this makes assumptions on technical acuity of both mentors and mentees and the fact is there is a generational gap between them that might reflect on their ability to use these tools for mentoring relationships. I don’t claim having an answer, but I have been exposed to such discussions at high levels and I have seen people being concerned about this.
> If taxation is such an inherent good then why does it need to be hidden from people?

Because the externalities are not always visible, and people do not have enough free bandwidth to spend the time understanding them.

At the core, "NFT" is a primitive. It's an entry in a ledger with some properties, it doesn't mean anything. Any meaning is a legal or social construct on top of that, and any perceived value derives from that. And when it comes to the social part, the value really only depends on enough people believing into it. There's a bunch of different things going on, with different people doing different things.

E.g. on some art NFT platforms, a legal license is attached that says that if you hold the NFT for an artwork, you get permission to display that just as you would have permission to display lets say a piece of software art you bought from them. The NFT just is a representation of who holds that license right now, instead of a software license represented by a piece of paper being sold, or an entry in a license database somewhere.

Digital artists have struggled with how to sell a digital thing that can be copied losslessly for a while. Expensive digital art is often sold as some physical thing, e.g. a print, an installation with some screens showing the artwork, or a movie on DVDs. The limited number of the physical things provides a scarcity that apparently has value to a lot of people, leading to higher sales prices, but is also somewhat frustrating if you want the digital thing to be the art. In contrast, when they try to sell just files, that's basically not happening. People will spend hundreds on a print, but not $5 on the digital file the print was created from. And for some, it now turns out that NFTs also provide that scarcity, in the purely digital domain. Sure, everyone can go and download the file, but if you bought the NFT you have a record that proves that you actually bought the thing from the artist. That appears to have value to some people, and they pay the same kind of money as they would for a print etc.

If you don't have an explicit legal thing, it comes down to social convention that this (virtual) thing you are holding has some value to some people. Some collectibles are somewhat of an analogue: Stamps. signed photographs. pokemon cards. Skins in Counter-Strike. All those have no obvious reason why they are worth a lot a money (or not), except that enough people want them and are willing to spend to get them. If a piece of paper with some dudes signature somehow has value to some people, why can't a bag of bits with a digital signature have value to others?

And of course there's lots of hype and too much money floating around that makes all this more extreme, leads to people throwing money at it in the hope to make a profit, and makes the amounts paid for the headline-making things just seem entirely stupid. But that's roughly the forces at work, if we agree to the specific value judgements or not (very similar to collectables markets again, those seem equally weird to me in the extremes).
Nothing about computer graphics, I think everyone who has worked with signal processing would be surprised by the authors initial surprise (I was). The question is more what else would one expect?
If you work in a city/region with high property prices, it is likely you will be asked to go in to the office frequently.

Excel generates RFC-compliant CSV files if you are using the en-us/en-uk locales, but not for many other locales. Of course, this is a system-wide setting, and Excel has no option to generate a standard CSV independent of locale.

FYI, this setup would be extremely beneficial to gigantic companies and likely would lead to immense consolidation, since effectively you would tax 1% on every supplier transaction down the chain, whereas the vertically integrated gigacompany would only pay 1% once.

It mostly depends if you intend to make significant pension contributions.

Let's say your company has £100K to play with and you want it all.

- You can pay yourself a £100K salary, of which take home pay will be about ~£67K

- You can pay yourself a £8,840 salary tax free in order to qualify for the state pension but minimize national insurance, and pay 19% corporation tax on the remaining £91,160, which leaves £73,839 to pay in dividends. Take home pay will be ~£69K. A win.

- Roughly (as this is more complicated). You can pay yourself a £48,840 salary, sacrificing £40K in to your pension completely tax free, pay corporation tax on the remaining ~£51K, and then pay it out as dividends. Take home will be about ~£47K with another £40K in your pension!

- More elaborate schemes are possible, where you use your personal pension to invest in commercial property which you then lease back to your company as a tax deductible expense.
In the UK, if you're a contractor caught by IR35 and earn £600 per day, your effective tax rate is 40% if the client allows you to engage using your Ltd. company. If you use an umbrella you'll be even worse off. Net income from the arrangement would be £69,925 based on 190 days billed.

There are just far more JavaScript developers out there than android Java/kotlin developers.
