The state doesn't call it as such and it doesn't really mention much about it anywhere, other than implicitly in worksheet 7 on page 59 of the 2020 IT-201 form. It's still a recapture, though, and it does apply to income. It's separate from tax credits. Try the worksheet. By the way, most online tax calculators seem not to know about it, either.

See e.g. https://www.bogleheads.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=247046 where someone points out that CT does the same and calls it recapture.
Do you think that between a third and half of US households have people holding significant amounts of bitcoin?
I'm not quite sure what your point is. Your analogy is to two difference bottles of the same type of wine that have clearly marked prices that are very different. No one is questioning whether it sometimes makes sense for different bottles of wine to have different prices, or whether there are sometimes legitimate differences between employees in the same type of role that justify different salaries. What we're questioning is whether the salaries ought to be transparent, as the prices are for the bottles of wine.
> Not if you are used to the British style.

It's not a "used to" thing. The British style introduces white space gaps that don't look good. It's like ending a sentence with a space .

> The former must be correct

IMHO, "correctness" in the sense of "here's exact the character string that occurred in that other document, and anything else is wrong," is kind of a programmer POV. A looser sense of correctness is perfectly fine.
It's always either Marxist feminists or agent provocateurs for proprietary software. Or both.
Schiller comes across as needy and with a very low confidence in their own product. Some other company shows that their product works equally well on both Android and iPhone, and his response is that it's not fun to watch?

Also, this should be shown to everyone that says they prefer the Apple ecosystem because "it just works". You really can't get more user hostile than this, where you care more about extracting money from transactions that you're not a part of than making life easier for your paying customers.

Apple let Amazon sell books using their own payment system because Amazon sold a lot of books on their own Kindle platform that Apple wanted users to be able to read on iPhones, but as soon as Apple's platform was the biggest one they altered the deal to squeeze more money out of it. Like a monopoly would do.

As an American, I’m absolutely sure the Canadians would greet us as liberators. They’ll finally be free to listen to great American musicians like Justin Beiber and Neil Young!
I agree with this. I genuinely think that linux is the best "developer" machine there is, particularly if you are cross-compiling. You have complete control over everything and can really get to the bottom of problems if required. I really like the fact that I can look at the kernel sources if I need to understand how the &!%$ something works. You don't often need to do this, but when you do, you really do. The one thing that perpetually just pees me off about basically all Linux DMs/WMs that I have used a lot is that occasionally they just hang, horribly, even when the system isn't hosed, and even when you are trying to use it. It's hard to understate how jarring this is as a user, and MacOS in particular seems very well optimised to prevent it ever occurring. I don't quite know how, but if you ever see the seconds not updating on a 1 s tick in MacOS, something is wrong. Even with renice'd -20 xfce on linux on a machine with TiB of ram and 96 cores, sometimes the UI just hangs.

That being said, Apple's documentation is nowadays oft-lamented as being outdated -- I remember it being excellent, including the first ever description of OO code I ever read, as a teenager. (Aside: It involved "a faucet". Not being a speaker of en-US, I remember distinctly looking up that word and trying to understand what on earth they meant, until "tap" appeared later on in my brain). I've never really written MacOS apps but I gather you have to "drink the kool aid" at every available opportunity and to some extent this shows.

My experience of Windows over the last 30+ years is one of confusion, culture clash, a lack of understanding, and frustration. I am not qualified to comment on it, but it does seem to be the case that people can spin up GUIs very quickly very routinely, and they tend to keep running for a bloody long time as well, unlike both other options.
Your first paragraph is correct, but you seem to think it's a problem that people might choose to be naturally infected. That's a valid choice people can make. I believe most people who aren't vaccinated are doing so on purpose. Delta has actually been helpful towards getting herd immunity because is it so contagious but far less lethal than the earlier strains.

We can reach herd immunity with a combination of vaccines and natural immunity. You will not be able to vaccinate everyone.

Does this include the cost of migration? In my experience it is not as easy to move companies from LTS JDK to newer ones. There are external dependencies sometimes too.
That could still reveal a lot of information on individual salaries depending on the company.
In my experience, the performance of carefully written Go is not far from the performance of C. Perhaps between a factor of 1.5x and 2x slower, if that. Otherwise, I agree with your comments.
Right now very few people are actually using Bitcoin for everyday transactions, and yet still the carbon footprint rivals many large countries. If this became the world’s primary currency (as many crypto fans seem to want) it would increase our total carbon footprint by multiple orders of magnitude.

I do not see many people in the crypto community approaching this with the deadly seriousness it deserves. Most conversations seem to devolve into:

- wishcasting about how energy is produced: “There are a whole bunch of miners in South America running on hydro!” This ignores that we are decades away at least from a solarpunk world where energy isn’t a zero-sum game, the hydro energy being used by miners just means the people in nearby cities have to resort to fossil fuels.

- wishcasting about Proof-of-Stake: “We could just switch to this and the carbon problems go away!” I admit it would be great if this happened, but No large coins use it, and I’ll believe Ethereum when I see it. Proof-of-Stake also has downsides that some crypto people won’t accept, so by their own admission it’s not credibly considered an option (certainly not for Bitcoin).

- wishcasting about carbon offsets: “We can buy our way out!” The recent California wildfires have burned through a lot of the trees planted as “carbon offsets”, releasing their carbon back into the atmosphere. Offsets were a neat idea, but they don’t seem to have panned out well, and I have yet to hear a credible case that carbon capture can ramp up fast enough to match crypto’s growing carbon footprint.

- whataboutism: “You ride planes don’t you? Those have huge carbon footprints!” I have yet to hear a compelling argument that a Planes+Bitcoin world would have a smaller carbon footprint than the current Planes+Mastercard world. And no one is talking about Bitcoin making planes go away.

I’d love to hear a clear and credulous case for how we get out of this problem, but I have yet to hear one from the crypto community. If the crypto community won’t take this seriously and propose real solutions, people from outside the crypto community will come up with solutions that will involve banning crypto.

I was on the site yesterday looking at the watch - the array of options is also confusing
Linux is "just" the kernel, and statements like

XNU UI > Linux UI > Windows NT UI

don't make sense because Linux has many different UIs. I'm pretty sure there is no macOS UI comparable to my preferred tiling window managers Sway and i3, and in that sense which UI is better is a question of personal preference and habit. In fact, I'm pretty sure only one macOS UI is available. Same for Windows: only one Windows UI available per Windows version.
Surely modern OSes cache files as memory-mapped files...? Given the availability of physical memory?
I've been dreaming forever about writing a debugger that basically just produces a timeline/log (branching in the case of threads or processes) of program execution, you can drill down the stack or into a loop at any point, and surfaces the trace of your code as opposed to 17 layers of library indirection.

Not to even mention that the only realistic effect it would have is blunting the effects of IL-6. There’s better options for antagonizing IL-6 with less of a side effect profile, specifically tocilizumab and sarilumab.

If you refer to blocking nuclear import, ORF6 in SARS-CoV and other sarbecoviruses already does that to begin with. Adding SARS-CoV ORF6 to a MHV model actually made it more pathogenic, so there is little benefit to not blocking nuclear import.

Can you give some links to these recent papers? Sounds interesting. Thanks!
Precordial Catch Syndrome
I think the issue is when a code review is “do this”. Especially when it’s small things like formatting, and I have to wait a day for the PR to be approved (or they catch another formatting issue).

It’s better when code reviews are suggestions, the reviewer doesn’t nitpick (or at least fixes that stuff themselves), and small things like formatting are enforced by a linter.
I'm using VSCode with different Python specific extensions, like Pylance which uses Pyright, but it didn't warn me about the mutable function parameter. RIP
Buddy, don’t blame the yhe industry for your argumentative nature. Blame your dad. And unless the company pays you for every line of code you comment, you’re better off spending more time with your kid.
Yes. Even better if something tracks and shows you the changes.

Etckeeper does that for /etc using git. It can even push/pull changes.

And something else can update or rollback software deployments. Apt, yum, zypper do that just fine.
The article makes it seem like people at Facebook have ideas on how to potentially thread the needle, but Zuckerberg (and probably a handful of other senior executives) keep putting the kibosh on it.

We know there are some people with pretty idiosyncratic political beliefs and unsavory connections on Facebook's board and within its senior executive leadership. It's not hard to imagine that maybe they like it being an engine for stoking outrage and perpetuating disinformation for reasons unrelated to the financials or for any intelligible design/engineering logic. It doesn't even necessarily have to be malicious. They could literally just be blinkered by a weird ideological belief in "absolute" free-speech.
“ Based solely on Jupiter’s distance from the sun, its upper atmosphere should be about -100 F (-73 C). But observations show Jupiter’s upper atmosphere instead soars to temperatures of 800 F (426 C).”

Many have thought about life in the upper parts of Jupiter’s atmosphere (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jupiter_in_fiction). There’s some water, it’s hot, and the super lightning bolts add extra energy. The main problem it seems for small microorganisms is staying at the hospitable height: https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/jupiter/atmosphere?show=hs_...

If there’s some sort of pocket/eddy that keeps a portion of the atmosphere at constant height continuously that might be a suitable place for early life.
NetBSD kernel has Linux compatibility. (NetBSD had it for years before FreeBSD.) For simple applications it works well. Fortunately I prefer simple applications.
Okay, yeah, that makes sense and aligns with my instinct about it.

I think the main costs of Nix being its own thing are probably in areas like documentation and performance. But a lot of the documentation issues with Nix aren't actually issues with the documentation of the language (which is fairly minimal) but rather with the document of nixpkgs, which contains mountains of magical helpers and other tricks with horrendously bad documentation and discoverability.

That infrastructure (and the corresponding documentation gap) would likely exist regardless of the base language.
You're correct that they don't become a man. They always were a man, and are now undergoing treatments to bring their bodies in line with their gender.

Testosterone is testosterone, and it makes facial hair regardless of your genitals. I know several trans men who have significantly better beards than I have. They don't need beards to be men, though I think many appreciate the visible confirmation that their bodies now match what they understand themselves to be.
> Actually in case Fuchsia manages to replace - well, I would be happy. But would it really happen?..

Would you be happy? Google has a poor track record of maintenance, not to mention monstrosities like angular, golang, kubernetes... I shudder to think about what a Google OS would look like.
Exactly. The noble lies have crushed their credibility because no one knows until later whether a particular comment was a well intentioned lie or the truth.

Everyone I personally know who is skeptical about institutional guidance advocating the vaccine or protective measures like mask mandates and lockdowns can cite a litany of previous lies or half truths by the same institutions. They did not start as medical institution skeptics — the last 18 months turned them into skeptics.
Then you're always welcome to find another website to share your thoughts with. :)
I would probably frame that the opposite way. People under 65 have a pretty low risk of COVID. Less than 20% of COVID deaths are for people under 65, and only 3% are people under 45. Liberal politics might convince a young, healthy 35 year old to get vaccinated out of concern for others. Geography also matters. There is a visceral awareness of being exposed to others’ germs in a place like NYC that’s simply absent in Iowa or Utah. A guy who takes a bus to work every day is going to be acutely aware of transmission risks in a way that a guy who drives to work every day won’t.

Wow. Ok, where to start.

For one, this is why reading articles and doing your own research (DYOR) is so important. That headline, which is attributed to NYDIG, a crypto proprietor, isn’t actually sourced anywhere else. Gemini, the Winklevii crypto exchange, places the number substantially lower.

Given that Coinbase has had a maximum of 8.8 million monthly active users, which is going to put us within spitting distance of the true number, suggests the true figure is much much lower.

Additionally, speculating on bitcoin’s price on an exchange does not mean you’re utilizing the network (hell, you don’t even need actual bitcoin to do this, futures will do). But this is what the overwhelming majority of people do with bitcoin.

So the real question is how many people use the bitcoin network to transfer bitcoins. This is what POW enables. Do I believe that 10m are sending bitcoin to each other? No fucking way. Much much lower.

So yeah, 10m seems conservative even if the assumption is poorly worded (network users vs coin holders).
Anyone knows the legality of this? NFTs aren’t regulated, right? And OpenSea isn’t legally bound to act on its clients best interests?
Linux includes all drivers in-tree (in theory anyway) and there's definitely no limit to the number of drivers you need.
Not sure I have anything concrete to say, except that the “try all rules” rulial space seems to be an interesting way to make Tegmark’s mathematical universe hypothesis [or at least the more limited computable version] into a concrete thing. But I have to admit that when I read Toffili’s paper I found it amazing, exciting, and otherwise hard to see how to advance. I reread it every few years and get something new each time.
How do you typically screen for such personality characteristics? I'm curious since my current role involves interviewing a lot of engineers. I too have noticed similar traits in others in the past and I shamefully admit that I myself was pedantic about silly semantics and syntax in code reviews. Sometimes criticism of someone's code was warranted, and sometimes it wasn't and it was just me being picky (I like clean, readable code).

check the dpi of your monitor. you'll want to consider that the pixel density of your monitor is not the same as a print. I printed six megapixel images at 8x10 inches and you could probably in with lower res at that size. I would be surprised to find that a 16x20 would work though.

It is a wrapper around the Rust code:

Michelin's New Airless Tires to launch in 2024
Microsoft Precision trackpads get close on the software side, it actually feels like it responds a bit faster. Too bad there's a bug in the driver that makes the cursor jump a few centimeters on every dozen or so clicks (Confirmed on Mi Notebook Air, Dell 5285, XPS 15 7590, 2015 15" Macbook with 3rd party driver), making it essentially unusable.

Some manufacturers (Xiaomi) have glass surfaces that get pretty close to the feeling of Macbook ones.

... but nobody has force touch and that makes all the difference. Ununiform response, no configurability and nothing that gets remotely close to the "low" setting, besides maybe a modded XPS 15 (some tape below the switch).

Macbooks are literally the only devices I've used on which you can comfortably drag things on the touchpad for the above mentioned reasons.

Edit: That's just the basic hardware side, of course. Apple also has fairly well thought out gestures (zoom, back with two fingers to the right) and apps supporting them, including a direct response to the finger and overscroll bounce (except in Electron apps, shame on them).
When they say they wish you dead, they mean it
A link to your github (or similar) username has a value, it will set you apart from others. What I'm looking for in your issues or PRs for example would be the written communication, not everybody can write good readable bug reports, and if the contribution guidelines of the project were followed which shows that you read the documentation before contributing.

As negative example: I read a CV where somebody linked four github pull requests. Two of them were closed unmerged by the project owner, one even had a remark that the code in question was copied from another website (which can get open source projects in trouble license-wise). I can't explain why the person willingly linked to bad examples of their work.
Giving employees equity can help to keep everyone aligned to the same goals. Early on in my career, I worked at a startup that paid its employees very well but did not give them equity. When the sales team pushed through a monster deal with some vaporware in it, we technical people hated it, because for us it just meant more burning the midnight oil to deliver overpromised shit, and no additional compensation. Churn among devs was huge, the codebase eventually became weighed down by technical debt, and the company cratered after a few years.

If they would've been more generous with equity (even at the expense of base salaries), I think we would've been high-fiving each other when the sales team closed a huge deal instead of cursing them under our breath and plotting our escape.
Any idea how many of them? I know of a few, the kind that make the newspapers, but I have no idea if it happens privately or not. I don't know any personally.

I had the impression that it was pretty rare. Nothing wrong with it; it appears to work perfectly well. But nonetheless I would have expected it to not occur all that often, since the transition is so much trouble and so important to their well-being.
If I'm reading your posts correctly, you're saying that tire pressure sensors are not mounted in tires of common cars. This may be true in EU and other places where I think monitoring rotation rate of each wheel is typical; in USA, as far as I can tell, most tire pressure monitors are indeed wireless devices mounted inside the tires in connection with the valve stem. This is the case with my car, which is an American variant.
Are you really incapable of understanding that bitcoin might not be a waste?

An unfathomable transfer of wealth from normal people to the rich is happening because of the Fed. How? The rich can borrow money from the Fed at near zero rates. They use that money to buy assets. Meanwhile, the government borrows money from the Fed at near zero rates. The government spends the money, inflating the circulating money supply. That causes the value of money to go down.

The rich can repay their loans to the Fed using money that is worth less than when they borrowed it. I.e., borrow $100M in 2021 dollars and repay $100M in cheap 2050 dollars.

This is turning America into a nation of renters, rather than a nation of homeowners.

It's also turning us into a nation of debtors, via the Federal debt, which will become overburdensome soon. We will either default, or the debt will be erased through hyperinflation, making the rich even richer again (as they get the money first and buy assets at the old prices).

Bitcoin fixes this.

And only bitcoin, or something almost exactly like it, can fix this.

The impoverishment of normal people via the banking system is exactly what the Jeffersons of the world were trying to prevent the Hamiltons of the world from doing.
