I'm not following what you're saying. Why do we need a callback?

In this imaginary design, the syscalls you make would look something like:

- BeginChannelTx -> return ChannelTxID

- ReadZFSProperties(ChannelTxID, params) -> return data

- DestroySomeDatasets(ChannelTxID, params) -> ok

- CommitChannelTx(ChannelTxID)

Notably, DestroySomeDatasets doesn't actually do any work. It merely records which datasets you want to destroy. There are no callbacks as far as I can see: there's no kernel thread waiting on a user thread to do something. This way also lets you express branching.

The drawback of this approach is you need a lock on all mutating administrative commands when you call BeginChannelTX. I talked to a ZFS dev, and he said that with ZFS' design, that's actually the txg sync lock. This means that while reads will proceed, writes will only proceed for a short period of time, and nothing will make it to disk. The overhead of making all these syscalls was also judged to be problematic.

Yes, that use case is supported by our API, although we don't optimize around that. Feel free to submit an issue to the Penumbra repo if you need help using the library!
Keep in mind that those results are publicized to argue for budgets.
Because everybody does it, and because the big US corps conveniently have strict regional salary bands.

Also, for the top tax brackets (120k+), the total cost per employee, divided by net salary, is far higher in the UK than the US. The UK government incentivizes corporations to pay their employees less.
Those cars aren’t electric?
Are you saying “meh, not enough to worry about”? Any 160bn expenditure is, therefore that quantity of revenue is. The debt and deficit are so large that nothing is a large percentage, just like no one contributes significantly to climate change and Amazon is only 4-5% of retail sales.
The study is based on people imagining things. Nothing to say about something so weak
I find that the more I pay for sunglasses, the more I look after them. For me, longevity seems purely a function of cost, and not of the build quality - by knowing they're expensive, I'll look after them better and they'll last longer. I seem to have settled on a middle ground at around $40 - more than throw-away price, but not over the top.
Same old misleading and false headlines aimed at inciting anger and outrage at the wealthy. Failing to pay implies tax fraud and breaking the law, however this is clever accounting, expensive tax lawyers, and moving capital around to optimize the broken existing tax laws.

It's these sort of news stories how the current administration is trying to justify radical tax changes to limit your retirement accounts to $5m[1], eliminate investing advantages (tax capital gains if income > $1m as ordinary income)[2], and do-away with the American Dream by taxing business owners and upper class citizens dramatically under the false pretense of taxing billionaires.

The issue is, the CCP sees Taiwan as theirs when in reality China belongs to Taiwan.

It would seem a treaty acknowledging Taiwan as an independent sovereign would be an ideal outcome, but it's weird to see nations express wounded pride, imo
I doubt very much that the top 1% have that in mind.
Post WWII US had a 90% top marginal tax rate and a historic economy. By the time Jimmy Carter was president, the tax rate had been slashed by a third and his economy kind of sucked.

> I’m fully vaccinated

Temporarily. I am assuming you had your second shot more than two weeks ago. Soon, the definition of "fully vaccinated" will change to require the third shot and you will be counted among the unvaccinated as it is currently done for people with a single shot or less than two weeks past their second shot when it comes to death/hospitalization stats.

We are close to living in Arcadia[1].

It's official: we deserve to be nuked.
We don’t need to eliminate transmission for the vaccines to be useful. My understanding is that they do meaningfully reduce transmission, even for Delta.

You are also missing another important factor. In addition to reducing transmission, the vaccines greatly reduce the chance of hospitalization, which together significantly reduces the peak load on the health system so that it continues to function well and serve non-COVID patients. In many areas, hospitals were nearing or at capacity due to the recent Delta surge.
Sorry that was meant to be two separate categories "archaic lexical paradigms like the long S" and "ligatures". I should have put ligatures first to avoid the ambiguity.

This kind of blobby faded printing is still challenging for OCR. The fact that it decided to just skip entire sections is the most troubling part for me (like seriously wtf). But the parts it didn't skip I think are quite good compared to when I use other software on the same kind of material.

I wish these things had a bit more...sanity...for lack of a better word. t769 is just ridiculous. TEcole isn't a word. Beaucoupde is clearly two words that shouldn't be smushed together. etc.

Interestingly, Apple quietly bakes high quality free OCR into macOS as a library that developers can invoke in their own software that works better than this in some ways and they just don't advertise it to end users or do anything with it at all themselves (they do on iOS but Preview.app could have had an OCR option since Catalina). It also doesn't recognize things like long S, though, so it's still annoying for old texts.
My own recommendation for general web body type in typical English fonts: never go above 20px, and 18px is generally a better upper limit.
I read this pretty fascinating article in the WSJ about schemes the rich engage in to avoid taxes: https://www.wsj.com/articles/taxes-malta-pension-plan-116294...

In short, those who partake in such maneuvers may have to spend several million in legal fees, but it may be worth it to avoid even larger tax bills.
Here's my template: https://github.com/skorokithakis/django-project-template

I use Dokku for production and Docker Compose for local development. This template is basically clone-and-go.
Exactly. This is not about taxing the rich more. It's about stopping them from committing crimes/fraud/etc in the system we've already got.
I hope they shut down and stay shut down for a year.
With 2 cameras they should at least record VR 180, otherwise they don't provide much value compared to cheap Chinese "spy glasses" for $30 from eBay and they look basically the same.
As others have pointed out, those numbers sum to 100% per question. Given population distributions, whites are less likely to be vaccine hesitant.
> The issue is, the CCP sees Taiwan as theirs when in reality China belongs to Taiwan.

What on earth is this supposed to mean?

I'm no fan of the Chinese government, but trying to claim it is illegitimate seems a pretty big stretch.
> Not sure how we got from 600B to 160B. Also, isn't that closer to 6TN versus 7TN over a decade?

600B is the full tax gap, 160B is what the richest 1% are not paying. It is very clear if you read the previous sentence:

> the wealthiest 1% of US taxpayers are responsible for an estimated $163bn in unpaid tax each year, amounting to 28% of the “tax gap”.
We won't tie you down and force it into you. But, you won't be able to work for these 9000 companies or the government. And you also won't be able to enter restaurants, sporting arenas, etc.

Totally up to you though.
That's a valid criticism which provides more value than a single word retort.
Anecdote time: I attended a Haskell event at MSR some fifteen years ago, and one of my overwhelming memories is how approachable and friendly SPJ is. I had some pretty stupid questions around the topic he was presenting(STM), and he answered them with great vigour and clarity afterwards.

This does feel like a significant loss to MSR, and a massive gain for wherever he ends up. Fingers crossed it is a teaching role, as I'd like to think we'd all benefit from turning a few more SPJs loose on the world.

There is a recent MSR podcast episode with SPJ and Andy Gordon that is definitely worth a listen¹. It dips in to their histories, and also their work on Excel.

¹ https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/podcast/advancing-e...

Edit: My other memory was the sheer level of professionalism in the support staff at MSR Cambridge, I simply can't recall anywhere I've been where the support staff have been as helpful and courteous as they were there.
> According to the treasury report, the wealthiest 1% of US taxpayers are responsible for an estimated $163bn in unpaid tax each year, amounting to 28% of the “tax gap”.

A hat tip to whoever on Twitter mentioned this: the top 1% of income earners pay 40% of income taxes. So by these numbers they're dodging tax in lower proportion to everybody else.
You couldn't possibly give them enough to make it Assured Destruction.

ROC had its own nuclear program in the past and almost made it to the point of being able to produce their own. The US, of all parties, intervened to have it stopped. Probably because Chiang was an unhinged madman intent on retaking the mainland. ROC is now an imminently nuclear nation. Something like six months away from having nukes at any time.
If you personally have to explain this to me then your website sucks. Take that to heart.

I know your business but ONLY because I read your comments on this thread. The website did not tell me this

Use the wayback machine, look at websites of companies prior to getting funding or on the introduction of what eventually became cash cow products, you'll start to notice clear patterns. You're violating a bunch.
Yep, I realised I needed to give plpgsql a shot when I started thinking, from first principles, about all the effort I was wasting. Not just machine cycles - the buffer copying, context switches, network switches, latency - but also, as I was working in Java at the time, there was the immense weight of the ridiculous JPA ORM sitting on top of it all, making it worse. When I took a step back and realised what we had done, the minimalist in me went into cardiac arrest.

With plpgsql you define your schema once, in SQL alone; you don't write a million duplicate "entity objects" in your language of choice, there is no friction or "impedance mismatch", no need to catch network errors for each DB call -- you just write SQL and return values like any other Go function. Because my functions are generally self-contained, I rarely even need to bother with transaction management, which eliminates even more round trips.

It's true that I needed to write some supporting code to manage schema upgrades (one day I hope to open source it), and I'm really intrigued to see if I can use sqlc to create Go stubs for my PG functions. But my SQL code sits next to my Go code in my IDE, it's syntax and correctness checked by the GoLand IDE, and life with an SQL database is super enjoyable!

I'm looking forward to integrating plpgsql_check into my build chain.
Totally agrees. FireFox devtools UI language is your browser language, and the error messages are also translated. A really annoying thing is there doesn't seem to have an easy way to only switch devtool language to English.

On the other way, Chromium devtools doesn't even have translations so it doesn't have this problem. And the new Edge (Chromium) translates the devtool by default, but there is an option allowing you to switch back to English in devtool only.

Yea, childhood diseases that require one single vaccine or a series of boosters that have been thoroughly tested and vetted for decades. This vaccine is not equivalent to those vaccines. You can’t eradicate Covid the same way you can with smallpox or polio. It’s not the same at all.

I have young children and my wife frequently has her phone out to take photos & videos of them - trips to the zoo, ballet practice, "oh do that cute thing you just did again".

What I'd really want is to go back to a world where we just don't have the opportunity and expectation to record so much. But that's not going to happen. And a lot of it really does have immense value for us. Our parents live on the other side of the country and this (plus FaceTime) is the main way they get to see their grandchildren grow up.

With that in mind, I would love a set of glasses that record what we're seeing on a short buffer and let us tap to save whenever something interesting/significant happens. No more phone out worried that we'll miss a big moment.

I'd really prefer to see someone with some ethical sense try to tackle this in a way that doesn't send us directly into this world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Entire_History_of_You

I don't know who that would be, but it's certainly not Facebook.
I've heard, from someone who's privy to those calculations, that every added dollar of IRS budget brings in TEN dollars of tax collected that would otherwise be evaded/fraud/etc. I would certainly call that a win… and it's under our existing rules, not some hypothetical different tax rules.
I took 3 years off in my 20s. During that time, I had a checklist with like 5-7 things I was supposed to do each day. Stuff like Brush Teeth 2x, Say ‘Hi’ to a stranger, Go to Gym, Read for 45 minutes, walk for 60 minutes, etc. I would go to the library every Sunday and print out my checklist and then make a new one the next Saturday.

I’d take a picture of it each week and post it online with commentary on how the week was. Posted a bunch of them online here:

This does not help one bit with botnets. The problem of defending against botnets is not blocking many requests coming from each IP address, it's blocking requests coming all those compromised devices. Those devices are perfectly capable of doing that computation.
Totally. It is possible that a better cook than me can thread the needle of producing such a reaction without producing much pollution.

I haven’t tested AQI with steak for example. And I can say that with bacon I have certainly managed to have it turn brown without pollution. But, once things are turning brown you are on thin ice and it is easy to go from “none” to “hazardous” in a flash.

Nuclear proliferation is a bigger concern than a Chinese takeover of Taiwan.

If the US gives nukes to Taiwan, what would stop China giving nukes to eg Venezuela (or whatever South or Central American nation the US doesn't like that month).

Edit: previously I wrote "If the US gives nukes to China". I meant Taiwan here of course.
So China will only nuke 60% of the US population instead of the 90% casualties we will inflict on them? Huzzah! That will show 'em!
> a form of lust or wealth pornography for the underclass

I can't quite square your characterization with, for example, the reality that Warren Buffett's secretary pays a higher tax rate than he does.

Some of us don't lust for wealth as much as we simply dislike that loopholes exist exclusively for the ultra-wealthy.
Pretty sure failing to pay IS tax fraud and breaking the law :)
It would also probably be catastrophic for small-donor campaigns and less impactful than you'd imagine for large-donor campaigns - i.e. basically a regressive tax.
That is widely recognized as a dark time in the US because of the Cold War and that kind of "McCarthyist" discrimination was loudly and prominently rejected after a decade or so. It's anti-communist discrimination that was relatively new and short-lived. You can identify the beginnings and endings of that time as an era, doesn't seem like a perennial norm to me.

Edit: the above is perhaps a bit of an incomplete thought. I'd generally argue that picking wartime era hysteria is a little misleading, that happens to basically every country. On the other hand, there's a reason why people always jump on the "myth" of the First Amendment when it's mentioned in discussions about private companies: Americans often confuse the constitutional principle with the general principle, and they do this because Americans are largely supportive of the general principle.
Maintaining faith in the USD. Of course it's still fiat... There may well come a day when China usurps the US's position of World Reserve. I think I'd prefer the US were I to elect from the two evils.
I dunno, kinda sounds like asking for repetitions of torture IMO.
Interesting idea.

I was kind of hoping we'd jail legislators who wrote law and dispensed federal power (eg:DoJ as-a-service for copyright donors) in response to major campaign donations.
It is currently known that to probe the Planck scale is practically impossible, or implausible depending on your level of optimism.

That scale is the point at which we might gain some level of confidence that we know what "really" is a particle (or its constitution), whether it is truly a point particle or if it is just convenient to assume that at the present time.
Talk about self-referential criticism, this sort of deflection isn't even trying. You could have written this in 1982.

Couldn't agree more. I feel the same way about the Oculus headsets.
I find that I'm happiest when there are things I need to do, but there is little to no cost to deferring them and doing something else. In a situation like that you're always occupied, doing the most enjoyable thing at the moment.
Asking people to imagine a state of mind they've rarely been in is supposed to inform of us what exactly? Almost nobody can predict how would they fare in drastically different circumstances.

I, too, am one of the people who can't just look at the ceiling all day. But I am also burned out and tired enough to probably need at least one year for complete [non-passive] leisure. I'll likely pick a hand craft, write those N programs I always wanted, start properly cleaning the house, be a bit more persistent in my workout regime etc. -- many things really.

I know this because I've been going through the very usual "work 9 months, rest for 3" rhythm that many programmers have gone through. But asking a bunch of Joes and Janes that never had that? Not very useful IMO.

And yes, too much free time is bad. I've taken such a good care of my wife that eventually she lost all sense of purpose and life direction and now she has to try really hard every day to rediscover them again.
Sure, they can keep beating you or keep you locked up, but you know that they will anyway because they'll never be satisfied with the amount you've given them. There could always be more. So there is no point giving up all of them. What that means for your mental state and the likelihood that you will give them all up, I don't know.

On the other hand, if you don't use this, they'll just beat you or keep you locked up until you've given the key to all the volumes they can see.

Which type is better depends on your situation. You can't just say it's pointless because they know what the purpose of this encryption software is.

I'm still in the 'feels good' stage with meticulously modelling the types of data I use in Angular with Typescript.

I'm afraid you're simply wrong and need to do some more research. There's no magical point in time where money is "in use". It is always credited to someone's bank account at any given point in time.

The baking system as a whole is leveraged about 9:1 based on the previous example. A bank deposit is a bank deposit, regardless of which bank it is at.

I recommend everyone look at total tax receipts as percent of GDP since WWII[1] and note how they never go above 20% no matter what the marginal rates are. I leave it to the intrepid reader to combine this observation with the intermediate value theorem and deduce the existence of a Laffer curve.

Genuine, non-inflammatory question: Who's behind this, in China? I know that "Winnie the Pooh" gets the public blame, but this seems to be a very... public, provocative thing to do. Is the person ordering it aware of that, and how provocative it is? Is it Carrie Lam? Their chief of police? Orders from someone higher up in the party, maybe at the ministerial level? Or does the order really from the top? Frankly, I would think that Mr Xiping would have better things to do running a country of a billion people than decide to provoke the HK populace on a random day in September.

> If a ticket is closed upon completion, it stands to reason that creating a ticket is "opening" it.

That's faulty reasoning.

At the inception of a ticket, it is first created and then opened. It is common to have these programmed to work as a single button push, but they are two actions, and creation always happens first, even when the ticket is not opened. Later, when the ticket is completed, it gets closed.

When you go into your house, an opening must first be created, either a doorway or some other hole in the wall like a window. Then, after the hole is created, you can enter the house.
