I blame the email spam. It's made email nearly useless for me in my career except for when I worked at a global investment bank as an intern many years ago. I'm mid 30's principal and I basically ignore email. I check it once a week I'd say. The absolute bulk of communication in my career has been via hipchat/slack/teams, fogbugz/jira/azure devops/monday and our source control systems.

I have some serious FOMO with Rust... I have been using JS and Python for everything the last few years. Will you please recommend some Primers/Resources/Tutorials for Rust for someone like me? That is, basically a script basher that glues everything together with Python.
Kandao QooCam EGO review: the return of the stereoscopic camera?

The author of the article asks "Does it make sense from either an equity or revenue standpoint to focus IRS’s limited firepower on the poorest taxpayers among us?" But he has only established that the IRS sends more of these letters to the (self-reported) poorest taxpayers, and not that they actually spend more of their limited firepower on them.

If I were wealthy enough to be /actually/ affected by the IRS expansion (400k+/yr) it would be a wise investment to spread articles like this to make sure The People are as against the IRS expansion as possible.

It does feel weird in context of original design language. Which they very heavily promoted that each character has unique silhouette that is recognizable from very far away... That just feels like destroying their own game.

As a straight-white-guy, I couldn’t agree with you more. Well said.
Would make more sense if they looked at IRS audit rates by zip code.
>These different types of files usually call for different hierarchies

I organize my files by subject, not file type.

My files about space stuff go in a directory called 'space'. Files about the space shuttle go in space/shuttle. This directory contains any sort of file related to the space shuttle, be it picture, video, pdf, epub, or otherwise. I don't see any utility in breaking this directory apart into ~/Pictures/shuttle, ~/Videos/shuttle, ~/Documents/shuttle... Do you really do something like that? How far do you take this "different files, different hierarchies" principle? Do pdfs and docx go in two different hierarchies too? Are pngs and jpegs separated? What's your criteria for deciding when different sorts of files get different hierarchies?
It's funny in the way that mad libs are funny. It's unexpected. The reason it is unexpected is because the computer is dumb, not because it is smart.
Just look at the photos. Only a fairly wealthy family could afford to buy him those instruments, and of course, the raw materials for the motors. Even his clothing suggests that there is no lack of money.
Yes, that is true. If you use a literal array, you get i32 for the element type.

I believe this is because of the signature:

pub fn from_fn<T, const N: usize, F>(cb: F) -> [T; N]
where
F: FnMut(usize) -> T,

While T is unconstrained, N is a usize, which is used in the closure, which we then re-use as the element.
You don't know a lot of people, then - Most people, the vast majority, are tech ignorant that way.

The concept that files are cross-compatible, and usable outside the app that created them, is increasingly foreign to an online app oriented world.
Smalltalk remains my all time favorite language. I started programming in the 1960s, with BASIC and FORTRAN (FORTRAN II, in fact, from McCracken's famous "Guide"), and before I quit coding professionally, implemented production systems in more than two dozen different languages. Wrote the most lines of code in Java, but the most interesting systems in Fortran, Pascal, Object Pascal (and one in Concurrent Pascal). Liked LISP least of all, followed closely by C++ and COBOL (although APL would probably be at the bottom, had anything I did in that strange elixir ever reach production - none did), but I loved Smalltalk. Unfortunately, Smalltalk arrived to too much hype before it's (potential) time, and was crippled as production language by it's image based development and deployment methodology. A truly elegant and sweet language coupled to a really awful engineering paradigm.

Thinking back on all this, I am astonished once again at how much has happened in computing in my lifetime (I am older than FORTRAN, e.g., so essentially all code every compiled has been compiled in my lifetime, unless you want to count Autocoder macros as compiled code).
RDP has existed for decades, Linux also has this so-called spyware implemented in a way that you can only give access to authorized users (or provision authorized apps)

I think MacOS even includes this, but I'm not sure if it's enabled by default. Hell, I'd doubt it's enabled by default on Windows, too.
Most of this is hyperbole.

Currently, no one has done the work to really understand the carbon footprint of NFTs. And providing an accurate, peer-reviewed figure is impossible without understanding the energy mix of ETH miners.

In addition, minting or buying/selling NFTs just makes use of the underlying blockchain that is already running, so I don't think NFTs directly impact CO2 emissions compared to the vast amount of other transactions. Similar to how a plane or train will go whether you are on it or not, creating pollution regardless. NFTS simply don't really move the needle, especially the ~2000 or so minted by La Collection.

Additionally, since when are the energy usages of services businesses use considered part of their carbon footprint? Accordingly, the author should acknowledge the CO2 emissions associated with the banking, legal, and even transport systems used by The British Museum, which outweigh any energy consumption at NFTS by a very large margin.
I'm starting to think, for lack of a better way of visualizing the three ideas together, that true success requires a "slow, quiet masochism": build quietly, enjoy the pain from what it'll become, and pace it out to never have a burnout.
A const is like a `#define` in C or C++, while a static is a global variable.

Do you mean this service is running and creating a tun gateway for Microsoft to actively connect to RDP, or do you mean there is a binary that support can have a person execute when they open a support case? I ask because their remote assist has existed since at least Windows 7 (Pro/Enterprise) AFAIK, but it requires the PC owner to run the binary.

If you see the service running, ask your AD team to check the group policy and see if someone mistakenly set that service to start. It really should be disabled by group policy in AD in an enterprise environment. There should be AD logs showing who enabled it if so. Having it enabled in a corporate environment is not just a security issue but also could create state table issues on your corporate firewall if you have a lot of employees behind a small SNAT pool and/or small firewall as each node will create an outbound tunnel to Microsoft servers for them to traverse your NAT/CG-NAT.
NFTs are just numbers on a blockchain. The picture is a canard. In the US I don’t think you can copyright DALL-E images as they aren’t created by a human, so you spend money to make them and anyone else can use them.
Thank you for your wishes! It should keep the lights on I think.
I've never seen anyone write dates as YYYY-DD-MM. That's even crazier than MM/DD/YYYY.
>without requiring more funding

I might be missing something here, but are you disregarding the 80bn the IRS just got for another 87,000 auditors? Or are we talking funding for something else?
The article points out that a better way to do this would be to designate one particular folder for configs, and then that alone could be hidden if desired. But we have what we have instead because a "convenient" hack was misappropriated.
that's because they are all based on unix. or is there any remotely common OS besides windows that is not based on unix?

a few decades ago macOS, amiga and atari were rather common, which all don't follow that convention. i don't know about BeOS/haiku. but if that hides dot-files then it's because they ported a lot of unix tools for commandline use.

i could not find anything about OS/2 but i suspect that it worked like windows.
@dang, they’re right, that change completely changes the meaning of the headline.
> The network attach process doesn't use the IMEI inherently by spec, but some cell cores can query for it (for example, to block stolen phones).

How widespread is this practice? Do the major US carriers know my IMEI?

I tend to believe that they do from what I've seen in their web interfaces, and that IMSI rotation alone is basically pointless from a privacy standpoint.
Yes, I realize that I may have read these words slightly differently than the parent meant them! I just said the same thing in a reply to your sibling.
Huh, analogous to RAW photography and postprocessing rather than on-camera jpg creation, I guess.
This seems to have a statistical backing to me:

I'd assume lower income folks take less time to audit than wealthy folks. I'd also assume there are more low income than high income people. My final assumption is that the IRS will start a new audit when they complete one, rather than just wait.

Imagine then two auditors, both selecting random tax returns. One pulls a wealthy return, the other pulls a low income return.

The person auditing the wealthy return spends two months working on theirs. The low income return is audited in a week. The auditor then pulls a second return, also low income. This one takes a week, so they pull another, also low income.

You can see the pattern here - it's not malicious (though it may be a systemic injustice), it's an outcome of statistics playing out in unintended ways.
There's a big difference between acknowledging that you owe taxes but not paying them, and lying that you don't owe taxes when you really do. I can only sympathize with people who do the former, and these audits are all about catching the latter.
I do something similar, managing dotfiles is pretty easy with a git repo
How is Qt slow? Do you have benchmarks of Qt vs JavaFX, UWP, SwiftUI or Electron showing that it's slow, let alone comparable to Electron or React?

10x the latency of a virtual function call for a signal is very very small beans compared to where you're actually spending CPU cycles, for any reasonable software.

Inflation hits the poorest the most. And this new explosion in IRS attention is going to hit them too. I'm not sure why people think this is targeting the rich.
They ignore much larger sums. The real reason they’re targeted is that, quite simply, they’re unable to fight back. It’s the equivalent of searching for your keys under the streetlight.

I am more likely to do something with those files than if they are hidden away in Downloads (which is like a tempdir), or on windows, some User/Documents subfolder somewhere.
“Both ends of the starlink are already using directional antennas” Sure, but it’s critical to understand the associated benefits when doing this kind of analysis.

If you’re talking average 10km separation on the ground that would mean stupid high constilation densities. A lower densities it’s more meaningful.

PS: I got to 1 billion customers assuming different hardware and more satellites not just more satellites. The only way 100,000 customers “works” is a none viable and lower bandwidth per customer business model, but the goal was to illustrate a point.

There was talk during the Trump administration of bringing the tax code in line such that it could “fit on a large postcard” or something like that. That went out the window for the final bill. I have to imagine that tax simplification would provide as much benefit to revenue as boosting audit counts.

> Parent comment linked to a bunch of projects with promise

We've had over 10 years of crypto. At some point it'd be nice if we moved past "projects with promise" to "projects that lived up to their promises".

So far? All we have is an ecosystem that enables gambling and a truly astonishing amount of fraud.

So I have to ask: How much longer should we wait? Five more years? Ten? Or do we just keep waiting because the faith is unshakeable?
null erasure. You can't know a negative existence. You know what I do when I encounter things that don't work the way I want? I don't go to qt forums and complain, because nothing happens. I code something else and move on. The issue is still there.
> objc_msgsend, which is _much_ slower than a virtual function call or even a Qt signal.

objc_msgsend is slower than a virtual function, but like 1.1x-2x, not 10x. (In rare cases it can even be faster due to it being a little more predictor-friendly.)

And Deutsch Bank laundered hundreds of billions of euros for drug lords. What system is flawed again?
Yes. (There's actually no "over" since it's a continuation of the same blockchain just with different consensus rules.)
I still think it is a mistake which you may be repeating by conflating two concepts:
- The location of a file
- Standard visibility of the file

If you hide something (like a folder) temporarily and refer to it through a script, you have to go to the script and change it once you decide that you don't want the folder hidden anymore.
The script is now coupled to not only the location of the resource, but also its visibility.

There is no reason to conflate the two concepts. Git folders can still be hidden by default without requiring adaptation to path names.

I'd argue, what you're loving about dotfiles is not the presence of the dot, but the concept of visibility levels on files.
A 2022 $400K/year threshold hits population A.

With inflation, The 2023 population A is much larger. The idea of $400K/year being slated as a "minority of easy-to-dismissed wealthy" will be an important frame to keep alive as population A keeps growing due to inflation.
Exactly. Study makes a huge assumption that low earned income means the recipient is poor. Investment only income isn't "earned" income, unreported income isn't earned income -- both are probably good targets audits.
From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlmaLinux

> The first stable release of AlmaLinux was published on March 30, 2021.

It's a relatively new project that some might not believe in quite as much as something like CentOS, that has a long and proven track record across multiple releases throughout the years.

That's also the problem that Rocky Linux will have in the minds of some, which might get someone laughed out of the room (exaggerating a bit) for suggesting something other than RHEL or Oracle Linux nowadays.

Of course, personally, as long as the community behind either project has a good reputation and hasn't given me a reason to assume otherwise, I think that AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux are both decent distros. I just hope that the projects have a bright future ahead of them.

I first learned design patterns in the context of C++. After learning python I used to think that needing design patterns was a sign that your language wasn't powerful enough. However, now that I've taken the time to learn Smalltalk I feel that design patterns indicates that your language had the ability to model any kind of architecture you can imagine, and if needed you can reshape the language to make that easier (vs python where you would need to implement it in the underlying cPython layer).
I saw that on reddit. The face was horrific and not at all human like. It didn’t have a sense of humour - it just took a prompt and mashed some things together, but the prompt was funny and the image was horrifying.

It’s still up on the dalle2 subreddit.
Crypto prices have gone down a bit from their peak, but it sure seems like crypto is here to stay. In fact, I'd be happy to make a bet that the crypto industry will exist in 10 years, and will have a larger market cap than it does today.
If it's that complicated and they are doing audits anyways, can't they just automatically apply EITC without relying on people to figure out this stuff and how to claim it?
> IRS accomplished over 650 thousand audits last year by jacking up its already high reliance on so called “correspondence audits” – essentially a letter from the IRS asking for documentation on a specific line item on a return.

Vegetarian diets are not expensive even with meat/dairy being subsidized ($38B/year in US).

Vegetarians need to make sure they exercise and consume high quality plant proteins: vegetables, nuts, legumes, beans and whole grains and keep a normal BMI.

Meat eaters have the opposite issue: too much protein and fat leading to heart disease (#1), cancer (#2), stroke (#5) and diabetes (#8). Hip fractures do not even chart.

It is because Intuit and other large tax preparers have lobbied heavily against anything that makes taxes easier to file.
Wealthier people are much more likely to use a professional tax consultant or are better at knowing how to file. Audits are usually triggered by mistakes. Say the IRS gets a 1099 form that wasn't included in the return, which triggers an investigation. A wealthier person is much more likely to have filed the 1099 because they are more educated and/or can afford a tax professional. A poorer person is much more likely to just ignore the 1099 or not even know that it needs to be filed.
What companies are those? I can see people who worked at Terra Labs having issues but I don't know if it'll be any harder for them to find work than say those at Theranos when it closed - high profile fraud will impact you sure.
Wait what? What about defining "correspondence audits" is political?
Isn’t that kind of the wrong way to structure resources? I could see making a case for either random auditing or for focusing on the largest possible sources of financial error, which surely would trend towards higher income level households.
