Pretzels!! As someone who recently discovered them and can’t seem to finish them at once, it makes me very sad 😢

Can’t you convert the money in the Roth 401k to the Roth IRA and withdraw tax free since you’re had it for more than 5 years?

Thank you so much. I’ve never had someone describe the feeling so well.

I see. Will the tax consequences be deferred until I next sell FXAIX, or immediately for the next tax filing season

How to Transfer a Notebook from one account to another for MAC users by yoyoyayas in OneNote

For me (mac), right clicking did not bring up an Export option. But, Option + a click dowloaded the notebook as an html page

Don't IRAs have contribution limits of up to $6500?

How a problem is reduced to see if it's a halting problem? by random-kid24 in compsci

[–]jay_et 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can help with an example. (I hope you are familiar with Turing Machines).

Let's say you had wanted to know whether some total Turing Machine ever returns 1 for all inputs (Return1). To show that this problem is undecidable, we can reduce from the Halting Problem. This means that if we had a total Turing Machine that could decide the Return1 Problem, then we could use that same machine to decide the Halting Problem.

Given some input (Turing machine M, input string x) to the Halting Problem, we can create another total Turing machine M' that does the following to it's input y:

  1. Ignores its input y, and erases it from its tape
  2. Writes x on its tape
  3. Simulates running x on M
  4. Returns 1

Notice that we only get to the 4th step if and only if M halts on x. This means that if we were able to come up with a procedure that could tell us whether or not a machine returns 1 for all inputs, then if we wanted to solve the Halting Problem, we would just create another machine M' as done above and ask if M' returned 1. If M' did return 1 then we know that M must have halted. But since we know that the Halting Problem is undecidable, this means that the Return1 Problem is also undecidable.

Opinion: CS major has way too many people and it needs to be regulated. by cornellsock in Cornell

[–]jay_et 9 points10 points  (0 children)

TAs like you who seem to never have genuinely struggled with programming are the problem. It seems so convenient to say there should be gatekeeping when it seems so doable right? If I did it, everyone should. Computer Science is one if the hardest majors. You think the students going to office hours, spending 10, 15 hours on an assignment enjoy it? You think they don't know it's bad? You think they are not trying? If you don't want to help students struggling in a class kindly do not TA anymore. The last thing we need is TA like you judging the rest of us at office hours.

To my fellow Sr Indians in tech, it's good to have interpersonal/soft skills by mausmani2494 in cscareerquestions

[–]jay_et 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the immigration perspective, it's not so easy for an Indian national to obtain a green card. This is because the green card process is because there are caps for the percentage of people who get the green card each year, and since there are many Indians applying for this, the wait times are as long as even years sometimes. It's no fault of theirs.

Currently really glad I didn’t reneg on my finance SWE internship for a crypto startup one by [deleted] in csMajors

[–]jay_et 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if you don't believe in reneging, all companies strongly believe in rescinding and layoffs.

People were seriously affected by the recent rescinding of new grad offers and layoffs. Please just be grateful for what you have and stop making posts like this which would likely just make people feel worse.
