That's crazy.

I would've thought the hedge fund would be able to hide the capital gains tax (as they're a trader, and should be exempted from capital gains taxes), so you as an investor only pays capital gains tax when you withdraw.

This also implies that the investor doesn't get to carry forward capital losses, or use it to offset their own outside capital gains.

I get their reasoning and I admire the courage.

But IMO they should have went with Rust -- smaller WASM binaries and even better memory footprint. And they said these were concerns. So IMO they didn't go far enough.

But it's also completely understandable. They already had a Golang codebase. So it was either go all in in the JS/TS ecosystem or all in in the Golang ecosystem. They made the right choice but again, they could have went even further and kill all birds with one stone. A heavy and quite time-consuming stone, granted.

Yes, a DOM structure, parallel or otherwise, is needed. Dioxus does this with rust and WebAssembly and it seems it should be able to do just about everything a js app does and it’s competitive in the rendering benchmarks.

Hard disagree.

Just as I disagree about "full stack" developers. People that call themselves "full stack"are a backend developer that dabbles in frontend or a front end developer that can dabble on the backend. Almost never have a met a person who was equally good at both.

Just the same Languages have their strengths. Using a backend language to write your frontend is more or less a waste of developer resources. Chances are if you just chose react and typescript you could pull things off the shelf and have almost an unlimited amount of resources and developers you could pull from compared to an esoteric LiveView or webassembly type framework, get the project done faster, ship and iterate as opposed to reinventing the wheel and satisfying the commonly felt NIH syndrome.

Typescript for both frontend and backend is a bit better, but the backend story for me is still weaker than using Python or elixir, etc simply serving an API, because if you are building a company, 9 times out of 10 you are going to have to have an API anyways. I like to have the boundary of that API explicit.

the only exception to the above is if you aren't building a company and instead working on a small personal or group project.
Commercial air travel has gotten worse in every way since TSA. Airports are filthy, passengers are treated like animals and act accordingly, packed in like sardines. Many are barely dressed; it feels like a forced sleepover. Even if you fly first class, you still have to share the airport facilities with the proles. Just awful.
The fact you can skip most of the friction by spending more money shows that the friction is not really there for additional security.

The direction they seem to be going, they'll probably increase the TSA budget, add an extra hour to security lines, and make you take your pants off for some reason.

Yeah, if you're gonna lead with that sort of blatant victim-blaming, then I'd expect a coherent explanation of one's reasoning in the very first paragraph.

It ain't progressives who are gouging renters. It ain't progressives who are jacking up food prices. It ain't progressives who are buying up entire neighborhoods as investments. It ain't progressives who are jacking up medical costs, and it ain't progressives who are denying insurance coverage for said costs.

This hasn't really changed. If you're willing to pay to park you can still park and meet them at bag claim or another outside-security exit.

I think people are just more rushed and there are more flights so more contention for parking.
Well sure, it doesn't appear that vos Savant was asked the Monty Hall problem. She seems to have been asked an ill formed alternative problem and answered that instead. Then the interpretation of the ill formed question with the most interesting assumptions about the host's behaviour became the Monty Hall Problem.

And the linked article (and by extension Mr. Diaconis & CrazyStat) was talking about the question that vos Savant was asked as opposed to the one where the assumptions to come to an answer are enumerated.

> We can safely assume, like Savant, that Monty always picks a door with a goat, turning this into a logic puzzle about probability.

No we can't. Otherwise we can safely assume any random axiom, like "The answer is always the 3rd door". You have to work with the problem as written.

Then you’re very unlikely to come up with a novel approach. It’s very difficult to not let reading “state of the art” research put up big guardrails in your mind about what’s possible.

All of the impressive breakthroughs I saw in academia in the CS side were from people who bothered very little with reading everything related in literature. At most it would be some gut checks of abstracts or a poll of other researchers to make sure an approach wasn’t well explored but that’s about it.

The people who did mostly irrelevant incremental work were the ones who were literature experts in their field. Dedicating all of that time to reading others’ work puts blinders on both your possible approaches as well as how the problems are even defined.

Your comment is a good reminder that (1) it's impossible for vendors to test with all possible devices, and (2) at Apple scale there will never not be some customers who experience problems.

From this we can logically conclude that some people do not have sufficient value to exist. Perhaps there should be special camps for them? Maybe we could deliver them to thise camps in some sort of trains?

Alternatively let us consider that every person may have an intrinsic right to exist, even if they do not fit well within our society. After all, our society made a hunter gatherers lifestyle impossible by introducing land ownership. To those who cannot thrive within the new system don't we at least owe the modern equivalent of a hunter gatherers subsistence lifestyle? I suspect that debt is the price we pay for making the alternative impossible.

> Well you say "that family" but you only give examples of why Rust isn't Ada.

Ada is the language I work with daily, but I think other languages that have been designed for the ground up for safety have similar features.

Aside from arrays vs slices, the solutions to these problems all seem less ergonomic than they could be if they were a part of the core design of the language, which is my major issue here rather than whether it is possible at all to do such things.

> You can't do it in C (the array types do exist in C, but they decay to pointers at the edge of any function.

You can pass around a pointer to an array in C (int (*)[3]), but I don't think it's worth considering as the language and standard library are not designed to make working with it easy. This is the same as my issues with Rust, if declaring a new type to represent a number of files isn't as easy as just using a u32 then no one will use it, etc..

My opinion is that the absolute safest way to do something needs to also be the easiest way to ensure that users always pick the safest option. Ideally the user would even have to go out of their way to pick the more unsafe option. Rust is really good at this with memory and thread safety, just not as much with the rest of the language (although it's certainly better than C).

As an addendum to my last example in the GP, I suppose the borrow checker prevents any safety issues from such a type requiring a separate allocation without generics that I was originally considering, although it does not help with leaks.

- Amex Delta Platinum
Card - $350 Annual Fee and you get a companion pass - buy one get one free round trip ticket anywhere in the US, Mexico, Central America, or the Caribbean and a $150 hotel credit.

- Amex Delta Business - the same benefits except a $200 hotel credit.

- Amex Delta Reserve - an up to first class companion ticket and a $200 Hotel credit + lounge access.

It takes $15000 MQDs to reach Platinum Medallion. But if I flew less, I would only care about Silver Medallion where you get sky priority Checkin and preferred exit row seats (extra legroom) for free.

Just by having those two Platinum cards would give you the $5K MQDs to get Silver. Either of those cards give you free checked bags. Medallion status gives you an extra checked bag.

You get 1 MQD for every dollar you spend on flights and $1 MQD for every $10 you spend on the Reserve or $20 you spend on the Platinum. You get $2500 MQDs for each of those cards.

I got the other $7500 MQDs last year between flights and credit card spend.
This is really neat!

> Almost never have a met a person who was equally good at both.

Doesn’t that say more around your surroundings? I’ve definitely met people that were equally competent at both (and more competent than most). A lot of things that are important on the front-end are equally important on the back-end and vice versa. Lets add databases and infra while we are at it.

The thing is, you need an actually senior engineer for that. Not some kid right out of college that is somehow called a principal.
These sorts of "fun" things are only a good idea if your software is already good. Otherwise they'll just make your users hate your product even more ("what the hell did you spend your effort on!?")
> People that call themselves "full stack"are a backend developer that dabbles in frontend or a front end developer that can dabble on the backend. Almost never have a met a person who was equally good at both.

So what? Both of these developers would be able to ship a typical feature in a typical web product by themselves, without back-and-forth with their counterpart all the time, and that's a huge productivity boost. May be at some point help from a subject area expert would be needed — set up proper db indexes, center that div properly on a small viewport. But being able to iterate without the need to communicate, debug miscommunications, or wait on another person’s availability is a massive efficiency gain. Most product work doesn’t require deep specialization—just someone who can get things working end to end, refine as needed, and know when to pull in an expert.

The alternative is siloed devs constantly handing off half-finished work, where backend waits on frontend for an API contract, frontend waits on backend for an endpoint, and everyone waits on QA. Been there, done that. A competent “full stack” dev sidesteps that bottleneck and ships.

I mostly use Linear Assignment because it was a simple problem that I could present to my students to serve as a foundation for learning about these algorithms and how they operate within a problem space. One aspect I believe helps in the learning process is to see an algorithm in action and to work through it at the base level.

The course is meant to serve as an intro to AI for students just coming out of a data structures course. Hungarian may be better for producing the optimal answer, I don't know I'd have to try it out. But I know that for my section on meta-heuristics Linear Assignment works as a great vehicle for demonstrating those algorithms.
I get the potential appeal in having a single language do all things, but in practice the front-end and back-end have vastly different jobs and different capabilities, so I see no issue in them being different languages and letting them utilize their strengths. Not to mention the vast amount of complexity you need to involve at some point in order to bring a language to a side it wasn't meant to be in.
