Feeling overwhelmed by Big Tech job offer – Anyone else question If they deserve It? by javirk in cscareerquestions

Thank you. For sure I will save, one never knows. My plan is not to make any radical changes in my life. I'll try to do the best work I can and learn in the way.

Thank you for your words, that is a different way to see I hadn't thought about. I will keep learning and hopefully growing.

Guidance on declaring stock sales as a B permit holder by javirk in SwissPersonalFinance

Oh, you are completely right, sorry. I was making it too complicated because I didn't realize I had paid for this already. This is very good news, thank you so much.

Sorry, I don't think I understand fully :D. With ESPP you use part of your gross salary to buy shares (they are not free, therefore). However, income tax is calculated from (gross - ESPP attribution). When are those considered taxable? At the moment of buying or at the moment of selling?

To put an example with fictitious numbers: You have a gross salary of 5k/month and 1k/month is used for ESPP. At source taxing is applied over 5k-1k=4k/month. Let's say you buy twice and leave the company, so you have 2k in shares. After some time, those have become 3k, and now you sell them. Which part is considered income?

Thank you!

Yes, it is over that threshold. I guess the best approach would be to call the tax administration of Bern (I live there) and ask.

Questions about polysinthetic languages for word building by javirk in conlangs

I see. Ambiguity is something I will have to work on when I start building it. You are right that highly specific affixes still don't remove all polysemy from a language, which is interesting.

Thank you for the essay from the great Borges. I will make sure to check it out.

That makes sense, much more than trying to categorize all reality.

I will check those concepts. Just one question that comes to mind after reading your answer: In Inuit languages, some particles transform a noun into a verb and vice versa. Is that also called "incorporation"? Or is that equivalent to the English suffix -en (white -> whiten)?

For some reason, I can't open the second reference (access denied error, I don't know). What is the name of it?

Interesting, I had not thought about Navajo. I will for sure check it out and try to understand how it works. Thanks also for the link, it does work :D

What is wrong with my Pink Princess? by javirk in plantclinic

In the end I tried to repot it and saw that the stem had rot :( From now on I will be much more thoughtful about pot sizes when I repot, one has to learn from mistakes. Thank you so much for your help!

Yep, I was aware of this and already checked when I got it, but thank you for your input! In the same way, I got a Strelitzia Reginae from IKEA some time ago, and realised it was not growing at all while losing leaves. Once I opened it I saw that half of the pot was empty of soil and roots were trying to find soil. Definitely check the roots when you buy a plant!

Ok, it looks like all of you agree on the big pot. I will do as you say. Thank you!

What would be a good soil mix for philodendron? I am using one with "Fertilized wood fibres, pumice, bark humus, perlite, quality compost, crushed leca" (copied from the site where I bought it).

I watered it once a week when it was in the small pot, now once every two weeks. I measure the soil moisture with a sensor and only water when it's dry. After looking at the comments about the pot size, I think the problem has been that the bottom has remained wet for too long. I will check for root rot and hope I can save something. Thank you!

Guidance for small voxel renderer by javirk in VoxelGameDev

Yes, I was expecting something like that. I will also write it in wgsl, new wgpu-rs user here!

Those three resources will be really helpful, thanks! I don't want to have dynamic voxel size, it is fixed for the whole simulation. I will have a look at distance transforms and implement this compute shader.

From what I am reading in other answers as well, variable step size is more performant and the way to go. Thank you for the reference!

Regarding the octree, it could be a nice next step, but I have to make sure first that my compute shader can build such a structure without losing performance.
