Incorporation and maintaining related documentation is a tough job.

I guess one solution could be to classify various types of corporations and tier them. And then tax rules change accordingly.

Similar to how tax breaks are given to startups.
Map/Filter/Collect/Reduce, all built on generics make code much more readable than their Go counterparts. I can make a frequency map simply by drain and collecting a vec into a hashmap - maybe 4 lines of code.

The density comes from being able to share common functionality behind generic interfaces, so I don’t have to reinvent the wheel for every new project.

I find that most projects I make look the same internally, unless I start pulling some “clever” optimizations like custom allocators or self-referential structs.

Fortunately, speed is almost always inversely proportional to number of ads! So the two mostly go hand in hand, for sites with similar content.

> Because gender is such a strong part of people's identities

Personally, I made the experience that there are a lot of people in both camps, some view gender as a big part of their identity, some simply do not. While I belong to the latter, I have no idea about the actual split in the editor community / industry.

> when you see users that share in that identity, it is easier to see yourself choosing that option.

I definitely agree that this is true and therefore understand your desire for a video tutorial narrated by a woman. But I am not sure whether we should embrace this concept instead of making people aware of this bias and actively work against it.
That's a great advice. Thanks a lot
> People love to tax companies, because they think it's "someone else" paying those taxes.

I think you can very safely generalize this to "people are always in favor of more benefits for themselves that they don't have to pay for".
If they want to use their money then they have to pay dividends or wage.
Bang on. For example

A user visits an e-commerce website and decides to purchase a product. They add it to their shopping basket before continuing browsing for more goods they wish to buy. They then finish their shopping by going through the website’s checkout process.

The website uses cookies to ensure that when the user chooses the goods they wish to buy and clicks the ‘add to basket’ or ‘proceed to checkout’ button, the site ‘remembers’ what they chose on a previous page.

In this context, the cookie is ‘strictly necessary’ to provide the service the user requests and so the exemption would apply and no consent would be required
Is this really happening? It is too good to be true so I fear it is not real.
> Fixing things in the project management process is a hugely levered activity.

Respectfully, you're absolutely right, but at many many employers dev's opinions on project management doesn't matter and is totally ignored. That's why I say don't worry about it. The devs I've been around that get upset and dogmatic about project management principles just get burnt out faster because employers don't care/won't change. "Don't care" didn't mean "Don't know about", but moreso "Don't get worked up about" or "Don't be strongly opinionated". Of all the hills that exist in software to die on, project management is pretty much the worst one.
Though unnamed and I won't provide links, the monks that doodled pictures of things like nuns picking penises off a tree in the margins of books might qualify. It's called marginalia if you're interested.
Not really true. If I know I'll make a bunch of money this coming year I can choose to book it as profit or I can hire more people or build a factory.

I would love to live in a universe where higher taxes somehow magically gives more profit.
The negative toll comes when timelines become deadlines or there’s too much pressure to hit them. Those are not good ways to manage or motivate a team.

It is essential to create teams that are aware of and talk about the most optimistic timelines, but where everyone knows the people on the front lines doing the work are in control and set the pace.

This is very achievable if the starting point is empowering people, removing roadblocks, and increasing the team’s capabilities and leverage, rather than trying to impose timelines.
No one is claiming that it’s not a continuum. Even the Wikipedia summary of the paradox of intolerance refers to societies that are tolerant without limit.

I personally prefer Rust to Go for things that have hard resource requirements/limits, but there’s no denying that Go is much easier to program than Rust.

You don’t need to know much more than Python/Ruby to get something done in Go, whereas Rust needs a C++ or Scala or Haskell or whatever background.

Rust places too much mental workload on a programmer to make the compiler happy.

The Go compiler is much more human friendly.

Swift is a nice mix of all worlds, IMHO. Would be nice to see that get more server-side use.

At our Scala-centric company, Go gets used a lot more for one off tasks and microservices.

We rebuilt one Go service in Rust just to get familiar with it and no one has written more Rust since.

This is also the case if your site has doubleclick ads or similar, they are the slowest part of the page by a significant amount.

In my experience a site got a lighthouse score of ~50 with doubleclick ads enabled, and a score of 100 with my network ad blocker enabled.

Truly infuriating that they penalize you for using their own solutions. And of course G has no support to speak of to help report or remedy the problem.
Yes, because by framing the donation as supporting something specific, such as the care of a specific endangered animal, makes people feel more connected to the cause. It is disclosed that the money is still ultimately going into a bigger pot that supports the entire organization.

However, donors can still see the impact of their gift if the digital team is diligent about providing updates for the particular animal being cared for. Sheldrick Trust does this by being highly active on social media with daily videos showing feeding times for the ophans, while the caretakers talk about individual elephants and how they're health and social skills are developing inside the herd.

The actual motivation or causation doesn't matter. All that matters is that some team or product lead can justify a decision or a promotion, or even just an ideology, using the data in some way.
> Because gender is such a strong part of people's identities

Is it though? I guess for some, definitely. For others, like me, I think of my gender only momentarily during specific moments, and definitely not when I'm programming or learning something new. And it's very clear to me that when participating in an online course what really counts (for me!) is the ability of the lecturer to engage with the students, not their gender.
As someone who played a lot of quake in the day, I'll be the first to admit that bunny-hopping is an absurd-looking mechanic. However, a lot of people talk about movement mechanics in video games today, because movement should be one of the most dependable and flexible tools at your disposal in an FPS. Bunnyhopping added the extra nuance of being able to maintain speed, accelerate and strafe all at at the same time. If you mastered Quake's movement (namely bhopping and rocket jumping), you had an objective advantage over your opponent. Even if the other person had better aim, you still had the opportunity to out-maneuver them, which is something I seldom see inside modern video games.
We are using Rust for backend web development and other things.

For us, the safety is the critical reason to choose Rust - particularly the thread-safety. Also the relatively small memory footprint compared to something like Java. Performance hasn't driven our decision at all - the number of requests per second is very low. It's correctness that matters.

We are a bit unusual because customers have locally deployed servers rather than servers managed by us, so bugs are harder to fix.

We haven't hired any developers specifically for their Rust experience, but have instead trained internally and now have a group of about 10 Rust developers working across a couple of projects. I would say that training like this has been relatively straightforward. One of our hires, a recent graduate, had some existing Rust experience with personal projects, and this was particularly beneficial in helping the team to bootstrap.

The ecosystem is surprisingly mature. Async is probably still shaking out somewhat, but that's moved on hugely in the last couple of years, and we haven't had any particular problems.

Overall the experience has been hugely positive.

The biggest barrier to adoption, in my opinion, is that people are scared of learning Rust because it has a reputation as being difficult. I don't think it's any harder to master than some other major languages such as C++ or Java - although perhaps you have to understand more at the beginning: ownership and borrowing are right in your face.
"good concurrency"

Async rust is very messy and a pretty big issue atm. The tooling on the IDE side is subpar compared to Go.
Well, the hope would be that you would have never become a billionaire in the first place because somewhere along the line that wealth was predicated on holding cheap real estate and collecting rents.

Now, that argument doesn't help with switching too an LVT, but there are other reasons to be optimistic. Taxing Jeff Bezos at any level is worthless in comparison to a) Paying enough UBI that the warehouses would unionize, b) directly expropriating the warehouses into the postal system. (post : IP :: warehouse sku system : content-address based networking).

Basically, trying to account for the power of billionaries and mega corps in monetary terms is a dangerous exercise where they can probably out-loophole you.
Nope, Tether is a soft-peg, meaning that it sometimes trades above or below $1. Therefore the contracts can deal with it going below or over, and it often does.

Societies work because we agree to give up a measure of our personal freedoms, even when it's sometimes a bit inconvenient for us.
Oh, absolutely. But everything worth doing in life is difficult, and if you really want something badly enough you will find the motivation and dedication to find a way. I also think you'll find it's more common than you think.

If your current boss won't let you step down to 4 days a week (or even some kind of flex 4.5), then it's time to fire your boss and find one that fits better with your life goals.

The best time to start on that process (polish up your resume, interviewing, putting out expressions of interest, etc.) is now. It may very well take years. It will be worth it.

Progressive activists get more air time than they have political power. It’s like how, if you watched the mainstream media before Super Tuesday, you would have thought Elizabeth Warren was a front runner for the nomination.

But, like with the democratic primaries, voting tends to collapse the bubble. Concrete example of this. Progressive Asian organizations attacked Andrew Yang for his normal Democrat take on the police: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/activists-andrew-yan.... But of course Yang is the overwhelming front runner among actual Asian voters in NYC.

Another example is NYC Pride banning the NYPD from marching in Pride: https://www.gaycitynews.com/nyc-pride-overrules-membership-v...

> Less than a week after Heritage of Pride (HOP), or NYC Pride, announced a ban on police contingents through 2025, the organization’s members voted on May 20 to allow the Gay Officers Action League (GOAL) to march armed and in uniform — but HOP’s executive board subsequently stepped in and set their own policy.

Progressive activists really do believe the things they say. Usually they don’t get their way because it’s a democracy and actual voters don’t support those things.

As to “straw men”—I was rankled last year when my law school faculty declared themselves “gatekeepers of white supremacy” in a school townhall meeting: https://jonathanturley.org/2021/05/27/brandeis-dean-declares.... People told me, “well most liberals don’t think like that.” I suspect that’s true, your average Biden voter doesn’t. But there’s 14-15 elite law schools in the country, and the faculty of at least one of them does think like that.

This activist mindset isn’t widespread, but it’s often concentrated among people who have significant platforms. A lot of faculty, young political staffers, etc., do think like that. It’s not straw-manning to call out that behavior.
I can’t believe we as a society don’t adopt this idea more. Punishment should be a percentage of taxable income of that year. The impact should equally felt regardless of your current financial status. Extending this to a corporation would simply put them in back foot in a market.. which is indeed the punishment.

Write Compiler Front-Ends for LLVM with Lua Using Mewa
Mewa tries to optimize the amount of code written. It targets single authors that would like to write a prototype of a non-trivial programming language fast, but at the expense of a structure supporting collaborative work. It is a pragmatic approach that brings the implementation of a prototype of a non-trivial compiler front-end for a single person within reach. In the examples of the project, you find a complete implementation of a non-trivial general-purpose statically typed programming language with structures, classes, interfaces, free functions, generics, lambdas, and exceptions as a proof of concept. An FAQ tries to answer problem-solving questions.

This Codeproject article contains a tutorial and discusses a primitive compiler as an example.
Bunny hopping is still alive and well in games like Titanfall and Apex, though the mechanics are a bit different.

Perhaps this is nonsensical to me because I have a peculiar background. My father is Spanish while his dad was Russian and his mother was Italian.

Where was me and my family exceptionalism _produced_? It's hard to say. the truth lies in nuance.

Wouldn’t the drones flying put it into a whole different threat category from humans/dogs/bikes? Birds are probably smart enough to realize hikers cannot threaten them or their eggs if they are up in a tree, but a large, fast flying object is pretty much game over for them and their eggs unless they abandon the area entirely.

Your theory that dogs are the main cause just doesn’t make sense to me, birds can’t be so dumb that they leave their eggs to rot because a dog is walking around below them, why even bother evolving flight and nesting in trees?

As someone in their 20's you are also likely lamenting the lack of affordable housing. One way to address it is to build more housing which which disrupts wildlife.

Without affordable housing you might delay having children and getting married like I did. Wait too long and you might never be able to see your children or grandchildren because you won't have them.

Reframing it that way might reduce resentment and ameliorate this perpetual blame of the previous generations. You'll have to pick your poison just like previous generations did only to later be criticized regardless of which poison you chose.

Humans are taxed on their income. Corporations are taxed on their profits (they deduct their expenses).

Corporations can be taxed on the money coming in, that would look like a sales tax or VAT. The problem with that tax is it falls on the consumer (since what really matters is which transaction you tax, not which side pays the tax).

But this brings me to a solution to the corporate tax avoidance issue that has already been figured out by economists, but rarely gets discussed.

This is a simplification, but basically corporations have one place money goes in, and two places it goes out, like this:

sales = expenses + profits

If you tax the sales, but deduct the expenses, this leaves the incidence of the tax on the profits. Unlike profits, it's usually much clearer where the sale takes place so it's much harder to avoid than the existing corporate tax. It's called a border adjustment tax. [1]

Where this gets complicated is international trade - how this works is only domestic expenses are deductible. At first glance that seems protectionist, but apparently the currency exchange rates adjust which balances is it out and although it's not obvious it ends up trade-neutral.

It was actually seriously proposed as part of US tax reform in 2017, but some big companies were against it so it got killed.

There isn't a public "this" yet, so IDK. Also, Bermuda is unlikely to agree to this.

It sounds like the primary purpose here is residency definitions, which could mean that the US would be obligated or entitled to consider the Bermuda company american for tax purposes.

IRL, that Bermuda company is likely to be a shell company, receiving payment from a single client (EG msft) so that the parent company can book it as an expense.

That said, it's pretty much impossible to say anything at all before details go live, and accountants have had time to chew on it. Tax rules are all detail. Headlines really do mean nothing. "Where they do business" could mean a lot of things. Sales. employees, manufacturing, financing/listing.

Corporate income tax is applied to the net of revenues and expenses.

Some of the language in other statements seems to suggest there will be some sort of a quota system. MSFT will be defined as x% american, y% Bermudan, etc. This is pure speculation though.
