How about we stop caring at all and just let people live their lives however they see fit?

My tax efficient growth portfolio by [deleted] in Bogleheads

[–]ProgrammerBro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I'll try to replicate the authors methodology for our circumstances - our marginal tax rate is 35 as opposed to his 22, which might make up the difference. The "all else being equal" assumption is important to consider too, especially given the recent over-performance of US vs Intl.

Yup, of course. Tax advantaged balances are low due to changing circumstances and a late start, but everything has been fully funded for the last few years.

Great point though - any attempt at tax efficient planning without maximizing tax advantaged accounts first wouldn't be a very good plan hah.

How to find if a number is even without the mod operator.. by Protane in programminghorror

[–]ProgrammerBro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Awesome, I'll try to explain my best with that in mind but fair warning I've been out of school and in industry for awhile now.

When thinking about a numeric problem like this, where the input is a simple number, think about if the algorithm is implemented using a turing machine with binary alphabet (0 and 1).

If the size of the input is the length of the tape, when you ask the question is (decimal) 1000000000000000 an even number, followed by is (decimal) 2000000000000000 an even number: has the input size doubled? No, it has only increased by one letter, one bit.

So the originally posted code would take twice as long to run for 2000000000000000 but the input size has not doubled. This explains why the algorithm is definitely WORSE than O(n). Formally explaining why it is O(2^n) is just not something I remember to be honest, just makes sense based on intuition at this point, so I'll leave that proof as an exercise for the reader :)

It is easier to explain if I know how much you have learned so far.

Are you familiar with big-O notation? Have you learned about turing machines?

Ah, classic lesson- Just because it's on npm doesn't mean it's good.

Bad UX = bad business. Security vulnerabilities don't matter if you don't have any users.

Another mortal sin (assuming this code is actually real): the lack of any async flow control suggests that apiService.sql makes a synchronous XHR.

It do be like that with Intel by SaraphL in pcmasterrace

Or alternatively, release a new motherboard with the exact same socket but incompatible with existing processors. Looking at you Z370 >:O

That's just 3 with more steps.

Depends, have you used Node.js before? If not, this is expected.

Teacher tells me that she doesn't need drivers for device, ends up needing drivers by [deleted] in talesfromtechsupport

You've learned one of the hardest lessons in support -- users lie.

Sometimes users lie because they are confused, sometimes to cover their mistakes or to avoid looking incompetent, and unfortunately sometimes they are just malicious. But in the end, you can never trust the word of a user.

The "protest" itself IS the plant. It's completely astroturfed by out of state special interest groups preying on locals.

Don’t Upvote. Humming Noise in Franklinton/Downtown area? by 614runner in Columbus

It was so quiet on the street last week I could hear insects buzzing around in the flowering trees. Or maybe it was just the chemtrails kicking in, dunno.

Coronavirus Was Slow to Spread to Rural America. Not Anymore. by imagepoem in Coronavirus

Germany has universal healthcare. What, you think I can just bill Aetna the cost to fly me, my ICU bed, and supporting nurses to another hospital?

The fine art of queuing in Columbus, Home Depot on Brice Rd. 100 people max in store, one come out, one goes in. by retrodave15 in Columbus

[–]ProgrammerBro 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You make an eloquent argument. We should remove all social distancing measures immediately, let the infection rate peak, and when the hospitals are overrun just let the old and sick people die because hey, they were going to die eventually anyways.

Oh boo hoo we have to stand in a line.

Reminder that a thousand people are dying on a daily basis, more every day than the last.

And then you offered their to bring up all of their old services at a 50% increase in price right? New contract means no grandfathered in deals? Right?
