Yep that's exactly what my accountant does. We file an extension with a big payment and then wait for the transcripts. The only thing I have to give him is business expenses, donations, and few other deductions that aren't in the transcripts.

There's no reason the government couldn't just tell me how much money they took each year and give me a chance to contest it if I thought it was wrong.

Literally true! I've had to interact with IRS employees, and as far as I could tell, they basically had what amounted to what my tax return should be on some kind of computer screen right in front of them. This was back in 2015 or so!

If I'm understanding this correctly: the only way to convert an extremely large base10 string to an integer using the standard library is to muck with global interpreter settings?

It seems short sighted to not provide some function that mimics legacy functionality exactly. Even if it is something like int.parse_string_unlimited(). Especially since a random library can just set the cap to 0 and side-step the problem entirely.
Two major gripes with my current AirPods (not-Pro)…
1 - Battery life is less than half what it was when new. For $160, they should last more than 2 years, IMO. This applies to both the pods themselves and the case.

2 - I hate wireless ear buds for anything beyond sitting still. The risk of losing one half of a $160 pair is just too high. They might be ok walking, but not hiking, running, or cycling. The Pros might stay in better, but they’re even more expensive.

If Apple made a set of ear buds that had a strap, and a battery that lasted longer (not per play, but lifetime/# recharge cycles), I’d happily buy again. My wife has a set of Jaybird Tarah Pros that were cheaper, the battery longevity is better, and there’s no risk of losing one. Of course, Jaybird no longer makes these either. Ho Hum.
The max are basically useless. They sound okaish compared to headphones 4-6x their price, but they love to pair with anything around and the mic is non existent. It's the most enjoyable brutally frustrating experience ever.
I think I'll be upgrading my XS to the 14 Pro. My only gripe is how big the phone is. XS is 5.8" / 177 grams, the 14 Pro is 6.1" / 206 grams.

I really wish they kept on offering a Mini. Maybe I'll just go for a 13 mini, but the camera does look substantially improved, and satellite communication would be very nice to have (I do lots of hiking away from cell reception).

>The challenge is that you personally need to report additional information for things like capital gains tax on asset sales, any credits/deductions you wish to claim, and changes in your living arrangements or life status.

But that's exactly what the parent comment was saying: you'd get a notice from the IRS that says they think you owe $X based on their records. You have until the filing deadline to file any additional income/exemptions/deductions/challenges/etc.

As you say, for the vast majority of people this would make taxes a million times easier. For people with more complex situations, they can then engage in the more complex process of additional filings.

must-staple requires additional effort from server operators, which is very challenging to roll out. This new scheme can be implemented by the browsers and CAs together, which is vastly simpler than having every webserver in the world turn on OCSP stapling.

There isn’t any particular force driving for OCSP stapling: Browsers can’t turn it on until it is ubiquitous. CAs don’t want to enforce must-staple because their users will need enormous amount of help rolling it out. Site operators don’t care if browsers are fetching OCSP (especially since Chrome and Edge don’t)

[edit] added HN link
Satellite connectivity is the main thing I’m excited for. I wrecked my mountain bike on a trail with no cell service and it struck me how difficult it would have been to get help if my injuries were worse. I thought about getting a Garmin inReach Mini but they are $350 and another $300 for a 2 year subscription so it’s cool to get similar functionality in a phone for not much more than that. Of course I will need to do more research but this could be a lifesaver.
I disagree with your assertion that cells in a body are all genetically identical- in addition to any cell-specific mutations (which occur any time cells divide) and epigenetics (which provides every cell with unique modifications), at any time a particular cell's RNA complement is unique and this can be used to cluster cells in a high dimensional space. If you just mean "all cells in a body have chromosomes ultimately descended from the gamete", then yeah, sure, but that doesn't really say anything about the full state of a complex organism (which depends on the instantaneous protein concentrations, damage, etc).
One litmus test for a good manager that I found: do they ever make decisions that are optically bad?

If the answer is no, what do you think are the chances that optics are the main factor in their decision making process?

An example from personal experience: one of the downtime post-mortem action items that manager was pushing for was a complex alerting system (we already had a good amount of monitoring in place, but it didn't catch all issues).

The right action item should've been: we got extremely unlucky, but despite downtime we're not going to change anything, because likelihood of that happening again is extremely low.

It takes balls saying "this is a risk I'm willing to accept".

Behind the scenes, the IRS already has a well informed idea of how much you owe, based on the information submitted to them by your employer and a few select third parties - such as your bank or broker.

I will corroborate, as I've posted elsewhere in this thread. I've had to interact with IRS employees, and they basically have all the information in their computer system. For simple returns, they could tell you the entire contents of it!

I really am stretching to find a link between a typechecker and L1 cache. Perhaps some kind of dynamic analysis of code and averaged data could give you a non-empiric measurement of L1 cache utilisation but considering cache behaviour it's not standardised even within one vendor it would be a ball-park guess at best.
Does everyone have to pretend that NATO expansion and activities in Ukraine are not at least partially to blame for the Russian invasion for the next 2 years now?

> It is not useless though.

True, it's actively harmful.

> There is a big difference between an unused variable and explicitly defining an unused variable.

Which is not helpful when you're only doing it to hide a compiler error foisted upon you.

> Kelly is designing Zig to do nothing surprising or change things underneath you.

Refusing to compile my code because I've an unused variable is certainly surprising.

> If you tell the compiler "Hey, I know this is unused but I am going to write it anyway" then the compiler _can_ make decisions such as eliding the variable.

That is the opposite of making sense. If you are actively forcing the use of a variable then the compiler removing it anyway is exactly surprising.

> I think we do all agree that it is sensible that a variable in code that is not used should be a compiler warning (if it is an error or not is clearly debatable).

1. that it's an error is the entire problem here

2. and as far as I'm concerned it's a ridiculously weak warning, if your standard is that no action should be useless you need an unused store error, which subsume unused variables
In the theoretical new system, you could have an option to file additional elections or changes. The IRS would have a default that you could then vary if you chose.

> because the stack is too young

The components that get called Web3 may be younger than some other parts of the internet, but they have been available for nearly a decade now (depending on when you start counting), and in that time I haven’t seen any useful applications emerge. Well, maybe a few that are useful to criminal gangs.

I'm in the USA and on AT&T and use their "$10 a day international plans" when I travel. It's a little expensive, but it just works. My wife and I were in canada recently during the Rogers network issues and I called up AT&T support and then enabled an option to select the carrier for both our phones. Two reboots and we were back on a known good network. We've traveled to Italy, Serbia, France, Spain, Hungary and haven't run into issues with this setup.

I’m pretty sure the reason a lot of it is behind such gatekeeping and onerous sales process crap is because of ITAR. Dealing with American companies is the god damn worst for anything like this. So much so I’ll actively avoid anyone US based. I am building a satellite, and America has lots of cool space tech… but it’s globally second class compared with any other country since some of them give so little of a shit about arms control (they import their real weapons from countries like the USA, UK, etc and so any space tech is just so tiny a niche businesses they don’t care) that it’s more paperwork to get through customs upon arrival than it is to buy stuff like solar panels and other basic stuff from the USA due to ITAR.

Get that from the USA and your basically in for a polite colonoscopy before they even tell you their prices (only slightly exaggerating)

Perhaps instead I can suggest to you airline travel or an exercise regimen?
It's the worst when you're talking to someone with AirPods who is doing other tasks while talking to you, like chores around the house. The noise cancellation is perfect until some loud sharp noise then BAM your ear drums get blasted. As an end-user, though, I much prefer my AirPods to my Bose over-ears in almost all situations.
I think it mischaracterizes burnout entirely. Burnout is an internal process, and not one that can be defined in terms of external causes - you burn out when you are persisting against stress for long periods. There are certainly many standard recurring situations that can reliably cause such stress, but none of them are universal. In OP's case, it sounds like he's fairly motivated by his value-add, and found the prospect of functional dishonesty a major stressor (I'd have the same reaction).
What you described (strict building requirements) is, in fact, a sociopolitical problem, not a technical one. We used to build houses for much less. They were worse houses. Many people would not like them today. Others would. They are not allowed to have them, though.
This is a non-issue. Of course the government won't know everything for everyone. That is the reason you get the chance to make changes to your return. And even then, it'll still be a little easier than doing the same return in the US.

Even with a system of "not so many details", a few things are simply going to slip through the cracks but this isn't going to affect most people.

That’s going to pull the rug from underneath the whole of Scala ecosystem. There are so many major top level Scala libraries using Akka one way or another.

to maximize efficiency and cost savings is an AC-to-12VDC power supply box

Actually, no. That power supply box contains an AC-to-DC rectifier, followed by a DC-to-DC power convertor: high-frequency convertors are much more efficient than 50Hz transformers and can be built with much smaller components than a toroidal transformer. Yes, you don't want 5V power lines in your walls, but 150V DC would still be more efficient for most devices than 120V AC.

The reason (other than inertia) why we probably won't do that is because of polarity: AC plugs can be inserted either way; DC plugs might destroy the equipment if inserted the wrong way, and most existing plugs allow both orientations. Not sure many people would like to "re-learn" how to insert a power plug.

But, truth be told, I have been thinking about getting myself certified as an electrical engineer so I can install DC voltage lines in my home: I already have DC solar panels (48V), and DC line batteries. It's awfully wasteful to have AC convertors on them all, just because that's the standard we've settled on.
It's a standard feature on handheld GPS units dating back to the late 90's, both waypoint and breadcrumbs - and also a commonly available feature on Garmin and other non-Apple devices going back quite a number of years.

it's not a question of abilities and talent, but one of attitude and willpower.

why did so many people refuse to continue working as before the pandemic? the only thing that changed really, is their attitude towards work.
I also love OCSP stapling but there are some limitations:
- webserver need to implement it
- admin need to enable it
- webserver need internet access

Maybe they saw with some telemetry that very few website actually enable OCSP stampling and decided to implement a fix that cover all certs and can really be deployed

This happens without headphones as well. Any ambient noise on a call triggers silencing that makes conversations almost impossible sometimes. Like my parents are outside and there's a light breeze and 80% of them speaking is muted.

Happens with normal phone microphone, worse with speakerphone, happens with my calls with my Bose headphones and my AirPod Pros.

It's a phone setting, I'd buy a case of beer for anybody who could show me how to turn off the noise suppression completely. It is clearly happening on iOS, not the headphones.
What a lame Mars/Venus theory. Language designers never make complex features in order to have more to learn and catalogue. They are nakedly compromises which are supposed to make certain things easier, maybe even simpler in certain senses (for example simpler library code: more complex features like pattern matching can make for less spaghetti control flow).

Then the retort might be “but they wittingly or unwittingly pursue the goal of complexity for its own sake!”, in which case that would just prove that you have stacked the deck in favor of the “logician” (who makes simple languages for simplicity’s sake—simple).

Another problem is that some language designers are logicians by trade already.

> So, for the logician type thinker, small languages are just deeply pleasing for the same reason Newtons laws and Chess are deeply pleasing.

Chess has Opening Theory. I bet the Half-Delayed Swashbuckler Sicilian just comes naturally to the oh-so exalted logician.

(Then the retort might be, oh I’m just talking about the game in the abstract, not the metagame. Well it is very important how a game is actually played and how a language is actually put to use.)

Roaming is fine for short trips, but you are typically pretty badly de-prioritized and your connection is usually routed through US servers giving you a bad ping. Eventually the carrier is going to boot you off if you stay too long.

Grabbing a local sim card is a must for me since I rely on the data plan for work. It also tends to be much cheaper to get 20 or 30 gigs of 5g data. eSim is making this much more convenient to pick up a secondary plan, but sometimes your best option is a SIM card.
Neo4j made a similarly deceptive play with their "open source" product, did they not?
I guess "don't suck" is relative, but my AirPods failed after about a year. It's a coin toss now whether their microphone will work or not, rendering them unreliable and worse than useless for the work Zoom meetings I bought them for. Maybe I'm old-fashioned for expecting any piece of technology to last longer than a year.
Yeah. I remember my reason for switching to AirPods Max.

My Sony xm3 kept connecting to the laptop in my backpack - which was asleep - when I was getting on my bike.

I had to unpair my phone and re-pair it to force it to "own" the headphones. It was such a pita.

That really was the biggest value add of the Apple headphones, and it works absolutely great. It almost (a 99.5%+ kind of almost) always connects to the device I want it to connect to, right away.

It's a pity though that they have the common issues of Bluetooth, and turning on the microphone immediately kills the sound quality... It's one of the cases where I'd appreciate them just using a proprietary protocol. The headphones basically only work well with Apple devices anyway.
Your feelings aren't lying to you. The personal satisfaction and motivation to do more that comes from you directly helping your neighbor makes it even better than just changing a flat tire.
> Bluetooth headphones that don't suck

That isn't a ringing endorsement. Not sucking isn't the least you can do, and for the price they charge, it should be better than not sucking.
Yes, I noticed this too and asked the author about it [0].

IMO, OCSP stapling is the best overall solution until certificate lifetimes are shorter (< 7 days).

As a server developer I'm worried that the focus on independent CRLs will make it difficult to automate certificates in the face of revocation. Currently, Caddy staples OCSP for all certificates by default, caches the staples, and refreshes them halfway through their lifetime. Works great. Every server should do this. And when an OCSP response is discovered to be Revoked, Caddy automatically replaces the certificate. Works great. Every server should do this.

If every browser is independently going to decide which certificates to distrust, now I am not sure of a good, authoritative way to determine "revoked" and then replace certificates automatically. I'm worried this will hurt the TLS ecosystem unless we answer those questions first.

Actually, let's just shorten certificate lifetimes and be done with it already.

Main blockers to short cert lifetimes:

- CA's uptime determines Web's uptime.

Main solution:

- Multiple redundant ACME CAs. If one goes down, try another. (This is what Caddy already does.)

Sony WH-1000XM4s I'd say are the most comparable in terms of ease of use and pairing well. I haven't had any dropout problems with them like I have with others (including my gen 3 airpods). I use my AirPods for my phone/tablet and my XM4s with my 2020 Mac Mini.
