I agree, definitely. Just in this specific subthread here I'm addressing the question "does the IRS know...?"

Reported to you, of reported to the IRS? As in if you just push through without a 8949 does the IRS come after you with a CP-2000 a few years later with a letter assuming 0 cost basis? Or does the IRS already have correct numbers?

Agree with all of them except the kids. That was the big reason I said "huge percentage" instead of something like "overwhelming majority", because I have a sneaking suspicion the IRS doesn't know anything about yo

This is true in the general case, but it does miss the fact that a huge percentage of people could have their taxes done automatically by data that the IRS has

I dunno. By revenue, legal work in the US is super top heavy - it's like 50%+ done by the top 50 firms alone. That won't map 1:1 to briefs, but I would be pretty shocked if large firms only did 10% of briefs.

I looked at tape a little while ago and decided it wasn't gonna work out for me reliability-wise at home without a more controlled environment (especially humidity).

That doesn't move mortality numbers much though. It's something like 50 deaths per year from stray bullets, vs 20,000+ homicides, vs 40,000 ish fatal car accident deaths. That homicides make the news much more than car accidents,

It is the unfortunate reality that we tend to only remember the creator(s) of the first version (if anyone). Not just cgroups, but a lot of tech or protocols. Anyways digging it up, looks like the primary author was at Facebook for a year

Yup and just to add timelines - Google Borg and containerization was what... 2003-2005? Docker was 2011-2013?

"almost a year" isn't a very long time for West Coast permits The duplex I'm in took... 4-5 years of permitting? Something like that. Totally insane waits, I agree.

ACH isn't instant, but if you use the same bank they may use something besides ACH to affect the transfer. ACH is... FTPing around flat files, at some point in the day. Or the next day. Plus time for clearing. FedNow is closer to ins

Yea that's totally fair, you'd need to build it in as a first class behavior of your code, doesn't necessarily mean that exceptions is the right way to do it.

Because sometimes it's very wrong Way back when during my EE course days, we had like a whole semester devoted to weird edge cases like this, and spent month on ieee754 (precision loss, Nan, divide by zero, etc) When you took an ieee75

No this doesn't work either In the context of say a/-0.001, a/-0.00000001, a/-0.0000000001, a/<negative minimum epsilon for denormalized floating point>, a/0 Then a/0 is negative when a>0, and pos

Which sorting algorithm do you use when reassembling? Does it work well with "eyeball it and stick it near correct-ish spot and then fiddle with it later"?

Benching is very common in any firm like Accenture, yea. It does seem weird from the outside I agree. It can also depend on the person, skillset, etc. Some people will never get benched just because they don't have any or enough othe
