> the top 1% would get with one specific US Political Party

This is where people get it wrong, and VERY wrong. The IRS's budget had even significantly fallen between 2010 and 2014[0,1]. But it also increased from 2000 to 2004, then decreased, and increased from 2007 to 2010. Democrats only held congressional control (house and senate) in that second increase[2], but in some of those times the entire government was Republican controlled (granted, very narrow).

I'm not trying to say the Republicans are the "good guys." Actually I'm saying the opposite. I'm just saying that the defunding of the IRS isn't a partisan issue. It's just one is much more vocal about it.

This isn't an issue we can solve if we simply blame one side. Just remember, you can hold those that you side with accountable. So if you're a Democrat, it's important to be critical of Democrats or if you're a Republican, to be critical of Republicans. If you give your side a pass and just blame the other side, you bet people are going to take advantage of that. And they have.

That's fair! My point is that being forced to check exceptions can be beneficial. Go does not have any mechanism for this.

If you want to use a Result/Optional type I think that is way better than exceptions. As long as the compiler can enforce that you are acknowledging (or explicitly ignoring) both the happy and error cases. Ideally the error case for the Result/Optional type would also have an attached stack trace.

This lines up perfectly with my use of the documentation. It really helps quite a lot to do it first, but as the implementation is underway, new scenarios come up and it's often a challenge to go back and update the docs. The new things also aren't something that derails the entire design. In the end, the docs are usually thrown away or transmuted into something useful for other departments.
But actually, it does, because more housing supply (even on the high end) means fewer higher earners are forced to bid up generic housing for the masses.

On the other hand, refusing to build any housing at all (for whatever the reason is: too unaffordable, too gentrified, too out-of-place) means those high earners will live in generic housing for the masses, and those places will be expensive.

I meant the other direction actually, non-GC'd calling GC'd. FFI from GC'd to non-GC'd has its issues but is thankfully much better explored.

With a minimal ref counting "GC" on GC'd side, you just need 2 extra "runtime" functions (incref, decref), which happen to fit like a glove with the scope-based resource management you have in Rust/C++/Swift/C (the latter with GCC extensions).

With a tracing GC, my hope was to prove that if you make it as "minimal" as your usual ref counting implementation, then it's also just a few functions (one to init a GC heap, one to allocate on that heap, one to collect that heap), which can hardly be considered a "runtime".

Your typical tracing GC is a large, powerful and complex beast that doesn't play nice with anything besides the language/vm it was designed for.

Directors and PMs in multiple FAANG companies that I worked in would commonly say that "a lot of people worked really hard on this" and therefore we couldn't internally criticize an awful implementation or a terrible business plan that caused massive brand / reputation damage that could have been avoided if people outside the org had been able to file complaints sooner in the process.
Being totally earnest-

I have friends who are trans, they are not doing it to hop on a trend or as a lark. Like pundits often say, it often comes with difficult medical procedures or at the very least a lot of social problems. And unlike pundits usually say, getting medication is extremely difficult and degrading and can take years. And for all the ones I know, none of them have regretted it, and if anything say they wished they could have transitioned sooner. I can't say I get what it feels like to be living as the wrong gender but if its worth putting up with as much as they do to change its gotta be bad.

To your point - Yes there are people who will get offended at the wrong "they" because they'd prefer other neopronouns, but every person I know who uses those are very forgiving as long as it seems like you're not actively trying to misgender them. Mistakes happen constantly and every reasonable person respects that. I'm sure you can find people on the internet with bad takes or being obnoxious or cringe about it but you can find that with anything.

& Yes that list is super detailed and I'm willing to admit I find some of them kinda weird, but people are weird about a lot of things and to be honest why should this be something to care about in particular. Even the stuff I truely cannot understand, like otherkin or plural, who is that hurting?

Why would they do that? Because they believe they are better than average and can do better than what this system will give them. Newsflash: most everyone thinks they are better than average, if even a little.

That said, you’re a little out of date on SA - violent crime across the country was relatively stable for a decade or two, but since 2021, violent crimes across SA have spiked, and now even Cape Town is in the 20 most dangerous towns in the world, and in the top 10 murder / capita towns in the world.

Factually that's correct.

We can just say it as it is here, frankly. The 1% are overwhelmingly Democrats. They live in cities like NYC, LA, San Francisco, Seattle, Boston. Nearly all relevant US cities are extremely to the left in terms of wealth and voters. The Forbes 400 is overwhelmingly Democrat voting and donating these days. The very richest in the US are overwhelmingly Democrats.

From Zuckerberg to Bezos to Buffett to Gates, the elite of the Forbes 400 are not far right wingers or Trumpers or Conservatives. They vote center-left and they donate center-left. They champion left causes almost exclusively. You won't catch them backing Trump.

The Democrats used to have the south as a voting block, until the late 1990s / early 2000s. Those people are the foundation of the right vote today. The left abandoned them and largely gave up on domestic blue-collar labor.

> HN exists to share articles

Not to argue one way or another for that claim, but assuming it were true then enforcing a no query param constraint would allow greater visibility for the shared content as again it would prevent the specified case(s) of allowing it to get buried by submissions duplicating the link. Also, it seems pointless to go against the REST standard of using path params to identify a specific resource or resources while using query parameters to sort/filter those resources; disallowing direct linking to a filter does not make direct links to articles impossible. It is true that HN itself relies on query parameters to link resources that goes against the stated REST standard.

> It means that even common people are wading through a minefield every time they file their taxes.

According to the IRS, 87% of people take a standard deduction. There's really no minefield there. So long as you don't lie about how many children you have or any sort of tax credits you're applying for, it's dead simple. And worst case, if you mess something up, the IRS already knows the right answer and will send you a letter correcting your mistake or asking for proof.

The complexity is mostly for businesses, with a little bit of it being tax-free savings vectors like IRAs, 509, HSAs, etc. But even those are largely streamlined.

So really, it's an 80/20 thing, 80% of the complexity effects 20% of tax paying entities. And certainly those 20% don't want a "simplified" tax code if that means losing out on the money they save by dealing with the complexity.
Volvo delays low-cost EX30 deliveries in the US until 2025
Strictly speaking, the word "only" isn't in the original title.

I listed two title snippets, said which was from the article, and said one was from here. That's exceptionally clear.

From what I replied to:

Well, ok, hotels are more expensive now, but are houses and long term rentals any cheaper? Was the ban successful at improving housing affordability for the people who live there?

These questions are answered, as I specifed, by the title.

You.may not like the lack of detail, but that was not the criticism I responded to.

The title says "no, not cheaper".
It's different syntax, less convenient, and less obvious what you're try-catching. Also you can't scope it to just part of the function.

func outer() {
defer catch() {
if r := recover(); r != nil {
fmt.Println("Recovered:", r)
}
}()
// ...
doSomething() // Can panic
doSomethingElse() // Can also panic
}

vs JS:

const outer = () => {
try { doSomething() } catch(err) { console.log(err) }
try { doSomethingElse() } catch(err) {
console.error("dang it bobby", err)
throw err
}
}

But in any real Golang situation, you'll be working with libraries or teammates who return (type, error) instead of using panics. You might say this isn't inherent to the language, but it kinda is when all the built-in standard libraries like net/http work this way and the official language style guide tells you to do this.

func outer() {
r, err := doSomething()
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Recovered:", r)
}
r, err := doSomethingElse()
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Recovered else:", r)
}
}

1) It has.

2) Tax enforcement is a cat and mouse game, efficiency from automatic data collection could be offset by any number of things like changes to the tax code or more advanced methods for tax evasion.

3) Efficiency relative to the 1980s is way less important than the efficiency of each marginal dollar. Refusing to fund the IRS over its efficiency is like skipping work because you need to find a faster route to the office first. Finding a faster route isn't a bad idea but it shouldn't take priority over the point of the whole endeavor.
