> The same work can be exciting or traumatic depending on whether it's a task you set yourself or got roped into by some other entity.

Indeed. A question I often think about: How can we keep our work from damaging us? Many of us have experienced damaging work - work (or a work environment) that is actually causing us mental or physical harm. And others can be in exactly the same job/environment and not experience any damage. I haven't come up with much of an answer to the question, but autonomy, control and choice seem to have something to do with it. But there's also futility and frustration that even those who choose a task can feel.

Interesting. Internally we called it Quad F and I did some work on it. Looks like it changed hands at some point. Vox references our work here: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/22596072/irs-turbota...

> The timing is auspicious for such an endeavor. As you may know, if you make $72,000 or less, you’re eligible for a free return through the IRS Free File program, including software provided by Intuit, the company that operates TurboTax. If you make more, you’re eligible for Free File Fillable Forms, an Intuit product.

If you open the actual forms (not the homepage) the asset links went through an Intuit CDN. I'm not sure if this is still the case.

Even more oddly, the Vox article is from April 2022, so if it was sold or transferred it was recently.
Having lost 125lbs by following a very strict food plan.

I doubt your friend is being honest with themselves about their portion size. I have to weigh everything to stay on track to lose weight at the rate I want to. (Despite losing 125lbs I'm still morbidly obese). My ability to estimate portion size is so hilariously bad I have started to assume 500 calories for each Carb or 'rich food'(meat, cheese etc) I have to guess on and 300 calories for each veg or fruit serving I guess. Experience has shown that I am actually roughly that bad and calculating serving sizes for things.

Also depending on their height they may need to eat a 1500, or 1200 calorie diet to trigger weight loss(consult a pro to help guide this process).
Because X here is a very large number. Almost all Chinese nationals are very pro-CCP. The results are being seen in Canada, where a lot of the Chinese diaspora has started "Confucius Centers" as a way to support the CCP and spread their ideas.

In a few years, these people will be Canadian citizens. Pretty cool, eh? (/s)

Same with the Iranians. Many of them are in support of their government and their anti-America and anti-Israel agenda. Of course they seem to forget that, once the aroma of the US dollar hits their nose.

When the code is "done" then I want the compiler to apply those strict checks and refuse to compile because of such issues. Every issue raised above is something that has come back to bite me in some bug later when not fixed. However like the others, I often do make a change for test purposes that I just want to see if it changes (not to be confused with fix!) the current issue, once I understand the problem better and have the right fix I will go back and clean it up, but right now I don't care about those little details when the big picture is wrong. In particular I often write code with TDD, once the current code passes the existing tests I'm going to add more code and then I'll need the thing the compiler is complaining about.
And they built up with their bare hands what we still can't do today.
If you think businesses will lower prices if taxation is removed, I think you're far off base.
The real solution to taxes and filing is: Have the government send me a bill each month.
Hello HN, this is an OSS project we’ve been working on to improve the UX for data scientists using Jupyter notebooks. A lot of this stems from things we wanted: coding in native .py format, easier data exploration and experiment management. We’d like to build out a holistic ecosystem for data scientists so they don’t have to deal with context switching between multiple tools. Feel free to try our beta release and share any feedback (good, bad, indifferent all is welcome) - my email is af@cnext.io. Docs can be found at: docs.cnext.io.
I don't even need the produce/goods, I just wanna know what part of my taxes goes directly to the place where I live.
It wouldn't be in breach. otherwise, you sending an email with someone's email/phone number via gmail in it would cause Google to breach it. That would be on the software user. If you use somewhere that to breach GDPR, the software provider is not liable for how the user uses it.

Do you have a reference or citation for this? I looked for the case, but couldn't turn anything up. It seems extraordinary, especially because the federal government would seemingly have sovereign immunity from such a lawsuit, unless it was somehow a taking.
It sounds like from your point of view, Zig, C, C++ and Rust are all pretty much interchangeable. I like Zig a lot, but don't expect that it will turn the world upside down. None of the new programming languages will make C, C++ or Rust more or less popular (not by a huge amount at least), they are just additional options to choose from. For instance C is alive and well at age 50, it will probably survive the next 50 years just fine (unless we switch to a completely different computing paradigm - but this would kill all other existing programming too).

Their analysis, which is typical of someone quoting Chomsky, also pretends as if Iran would be a secular democracy today if the US/UK merely had not meddled. The fact is, the mullahs and the ultra-religious were already on the rise in Iran since at least the 1920s, and while they initially supported Mossadegh, by the time of the coup, they were actively moving against him. It seems likely they would have overthrown whoever was in their way - whether it was Mossadegh or the Shah.
I didn't follow, does it actually work like a dive computer (calculating deep stops, surface time, time to flight, etc.) or is it just rated for going deep?
Your post is full of errors in date. It undermines whatever it is you're trying to say.

In 1941 the British and Russians invaded and occupied Iran. US armed forces were eventually deployed there too. After the war the US diplomatically worked to remove the Soviet-backed secessionist states of north Iran in 1946. Then US intelligence was involved in supporting the Shah's coup in 1953. Thereafter the US and Iranian governments had good relations until the revolution of 78-79.

I've used SQLite for toy services "in production", and it was really just as bad as people think it is. Sure, you could handle a large amount of read-only queries, but it only took a tiny bit of write traffic in the mix to make the random latency spikes jarring.

This was pre-WAL, presumably enabling WAL would help a lot (but is still not the default, so beware). But the caveats were real, it's not like people just took one look at the name and though "'SQLite?' I better put a big warning in our documentation to not use this in production."
whoops, typo: Robots
Not sure how you can define productive action other than to say it's action that moves the universe towards a state that is desired. Desire arises from our values and a moral action is one that aligns with our values. Given this, I don't see there being any arguing against productive action being the morally correct action, I just think many people don't understand an assessment regarding whether or not any action is productive is inherently completely subjective.

I think the difference is they don’t know until they have tax auditors on the ground at your location tallying it all up.
This is pretty much what every consultant I've met in a personal setting has ever said to me. MBB, Big 4, boutique, all of them.

The work isn't what it says on the tin. You may learn something about some area of business, that much is true, but you're not really advising people, you're producing slides that give your firm's rubber stamp on whatever has already been decided.

You get put into awkward positions. Someone close to me ended up doing a presentation to the governor of the Bank of England, at age 23. Clearly this person did not know much that the boss didn't already know, but the consultancy charged the Bank nonetheless.

Perhaps just one of dozens of people I've spoken to about this career thinks it was a good choice.
don't they already have tor integration built-in? what's there to comment on?
For improvements I commented: Remove setup.py files and mandate wheels. This is the root cause of a lot of the evil in the ecosystem.

Next on the list would be pypi namespaces, but there are good reasons why that is very hard.

The mission statement they are proposing, “a packaging ecosystem for all”, completely misses the mark. How about a “packaging ecosystem that works” first?

I spent a bunch of time recently fixing our internal packaging repo (nexus) because the switch from md5 hashes to sha256 hashes broke everything, and re-locking a bajillion lock files would take literally months of man hours time.

I’ve been a Python user for the last 17 years, so I’m sympathetic of how we got to the current situation and aware that we’ve actually come quite far.

But every time I use Cargo I am insanely jealous, impressed and sad that we don’t have something like it. Poetry is closest, but it’s a far cry.
You do realize attacking an armed military inside your own country does not count as terrorism in most non-political dictionaries, right?
"The borrow checker stops only easy memory errors" is not the impression I have of Rust, and I would love to learn more about this claim.

For example, I'd love to see examples of CVEs on common rust libraries that you mention, if they are caused by safe code (ie, not using `unsafe`, which means the borrow checker is in effect).
The SOS and location tracking via satellite is a pretty neat feature. Free for the first 2 years - no details on pricing after that.
It could be a journalist writing a story about how some company sells your information despite users checking "[x] don't sell my information".

The Azov Regiment has 900–2,500 members and 10% to 20% of them are believed to be Nazis. You think that makes it okay to call Ukraine "full of Nazis"?

A single city in Russia has more Nazis than that.
Current McKinsey. It's a big decentralized firm so it's hard to say definitively what other groups are doing but I don't think we're doing "IT consulting" if you mean the body shops that do implementation work like Accenture.

The engineers and folks are mostly because we need to do a lot of stuff with analytics and working with different platforms as needed.

Wonder if there is a "other" field in application for e.g. asian-american?
There have been several proposed bills that would create a pre-filled tax form system, but they always get quietly sidelined by tax industry lobbyists.

I think a change in language would go a long way. The average American spends 13 hours and $200 per year to fill and file their taxes. This expense is itself a tax, albeit an indirect one. "This tax season, we want to save you money, and pre-filled tax forms will do just that." "The tax industry and their lobbyists fight tooth and nail to keep our tax code complex, and every year this costs you money. We want to fix that."

It's bizarre you say that since this site is flooded with "My Apple does it better" posts on anything and everything past any reason. There isn't a single Linux laptop post, a single Android post, a single Windows post or a single Samsung post that wouldn't end up with a number of top voted post declaiming how amaizing the posters life has begun once they paid for their Apple device.

The posts in the other direction have gotten really rare.
If you don't file your tax return, the government will calculate it for you, send you a bill and a document showing how they got there, as well as a list of all the forms they have, and then you either agree with them and pay, or contest it by filing your return.

If all your income is from a job or investments that have a 1099 and you only take the standard deduction, the government already knows exactly what you owe. The only thing they don't know is business income/loss and donations.

For most taxpayers the government could calculate your tax bill without any involvement from you.
Nope, there’s nothing special to gapless playback. But as it stands, libopus cannot produce truly gapless files right now. Is it a bug in libopus? Most likely.
>It's easily verifiable that bank details were shared on KF.

I see you've backed off from "bank account numbers" to "bank account details," perhaps after Googling the same Twitter screenshots I just found in an attempt to verify your claim. Those screenshots show a user describing a hacked bank account's balance and recent purchases. That's pretty bad; hacking into bank accounts is very illegal. The individual who broke into the account very likely committed a crime. Regardless, the screenshots don't show any credentials or account numbers. I'm not sure if posting someone's bank balance is illegal, but I'm guessing it isn't; maybe it depends on how it was obtained... don't know, not a lawyer.

Of course, the screenshot is totally unverifiable now that KF is wiped from the Internet Archives, which is the point of the submitted link.
The number of ways to do something isn't the problem with C++, it is the number of inconsistent ways, some of which have big footguns. If the different ways were all consistent it would make it a lot easier to remember which was the right one to use in any particular context.
Unless it's entirely self-hostable and/or runs entirely locally on the user's machine, it's a hard pass from me.

If you mean PPP, then the reason is simple. How much a janitor is paid to clean a research lab's washroom doesn't materially affect the quality of the research produced. There are other measures that look at things like papers cited or page rank like algorithms, and on those USA does even worse if I recall correctly.

At the end of the day, though, this is a distraction from the core argument. A valid defence of US healthcare policy is not "but we're good at research." Imagine if China was trying to defend their overbudget and under-effective military by talking up how much they've done for global aeronautical research.

Grandma lost her house because she got kidney stones, but, butterfingers, at least we research stuff! Oh and often times our pharma kills more people than it saves and true justice is never metered out ala opioid epidemic.

The distinction is between growth and creep. Growth is when your spec matures to serve the original purpose even better than it used to. Creep is when your spec decides to achieve other, new purposes.

HTML has been a victim of ridiculous amounts of creep, to the detriment of growth. Creating static web content isn't really easier or cleaner now than it was in the 90s, but the protocol DOES now permit the remote end to interrogate your computer for almost as much info as the freakin' SysInternals suite.
The "reason" we do not have this is people like Grover Norquist.
Not at all. There are limits that amount to poverty wages in CA. Not to mention squeezing an unwanted, insecure rent-seeking third party into your finances.
Amazon famously operated (may still, couldn't care less) at a loss.

As someone noted above, both can be true- govt can be incredibly inefficient but so can businesses.

My mother hated working with/for the govt as it made 'firing someone an act of congress'. As if to say neigh impossible.

I'd argue we have all incentives misaligned and that is what causes both govt and private business to become shit-shows.

We have government agencies maxing out their spending every year to keep their budgets growing. We have businesses engaging in moral hazard knowing the government (taxpayers) will bail them out.

We need reform from the top down, inside and out.
It appears that this system turns tapwater into hydrogen and oxygen by electrolysis.

I'm not a chemist, but I messed around with electrolysis decades ago when I was a teen who was into chemistry sets.

I am not convinced that tapwater is anywhere near pure enough that this system can work without frequently changing electrodes and removing gunge, even with some filtering.

Electrolysis does not just split the water molecules, there is a chemical reaction with whatever else is dissolved in the water.

Funnily enough: the WebSQL standardization effort was abandoned _because_ all implementors were basing theirs on sqlite (citation: https://www.w3.org/TR/webdatabase/). By convention, standards efforts (except for the one Microsoft bought from I$O for their office format) require two competing implementations, in order to demonstrate that the standard isn't entirely dependent on one provider.

Yes THAT problem still exists. Zig does not try to solve that problem (currently). It tries to solve a lot of other problems with C. Using the ownership model is one way of solving memory problems. There are others. I've seen discussions that zig could have an ownership model at some point, or maybe it will have something other. To lock in on that the ownership model is the be-all-end-all of memory problem solutions is a bit much I would say. Don't get me wrong, the ownership model is a good one and I like that Rust is pushing the frontier in that area, but there is room for other system languages that take other approaches to its design and tries to solve other problems first.

I've become convinced recently that the role of an engineering manager is to act as a nanny for the engineers. Managers act as an intermediary between engineers and upper management and soften any blows that come from above. If something upsets an engineer, it's the manager's job to calm them down and tell them they're doing a good job and offer solutions to the engineer's problems. A happy engineer is a productive engineer.

Those "refugees", the MEK, are some of the most loathsome terrorists alive today. They belong in front of a firing squad, not a guarded complex in Tirana.

Even their supposed ally, the US, considered them terrorists until the neocons in DC decided they were more useful than dangerous as anti-Tehran forces. Except, of course, the US wont touch them; Albania is the only country subservient enough to give them refugee status.

Subservient just like when Albania accepted Syria's chemical weapons.
