As a US citizen you can't declare your income was earned in Ireland and avoid or reduce paying US federal income tax. You can't avoid US federal income tax even if you lived in Ireland and worked for an Irish company for that year

It's more involved than that. You can buy a brand name product shipped and sold by Amazon.com and still end up with a counterfeit item because Amazon mixes inventory with third party sellers.

If the usage was very clearly fair use, there'd be no need to be defensive about it; the case could be dismissed trivially. In reality, the question would need to be sorted out in court. Questions of derivative works and fair use come

Many people would claim what you're doing is a derivative work. I'm not sure the "of course it is" is very clear-cut (at least in the US). I've worked at big companies that have lawyers that care very much about thi

This is the approach JetBrains takes with their IDE suite and it's the best of both worlds in my opinion. It takes most of the risk out of the decision-making process. To date I've kept my subscription active, but I probably would

Not that it excuses the language, but I'm pretty sure he meant "punch them (in the face) " when he said "pop 'em."

I'm not familiar with the tool, but naïvely I'd think offering an "include attachments" checkbox would give the user control over backup size. I know that might complicate the UI a bit and maybe even confuse user by havi

Something needs to set up the VM that Docker runs in. Docker Desktop is that something. The GUI even lets you tweak the VM resources. I suppose you could do it all on your own, but most macOS users probably just install Docker Desktop and l

I suppose as an executive you ought to consider the cost of attrition and replacement. By giving your employees nothing while making a sizable stock buyback, you're almost certainly going to disgruntle people. Some will leave. Often yo

You can. I've done that with Audible in order to make cash purchases. With that said, the app has taken a hit since it's clearly optimized for its primary installation target. I can technically purchase through the app, but prices

Plenty of bootstrapped businesses have better things to spend $200 / month on, let alone the time spent trying to figure out where all the anomalous traffic is coming from. As I understand it, it's not simple file fetches either.

I haven't personally tried this, but being able to target things like Cloudflare Workers seems like an interesting use case to me.

That's a Wasm interpreter for the GraalVM. I believe the OP is looking for Graal to generate Wasm instructions rather than x86_64 or AArch64 code.

When I graduated with a CS degree and an EE minor in 2004 it wasn't clear my degree would pay for itself. When the dot com bubble burst, a ton of people got laid off and software engineering jobs became very competitive. A significant

I've not seen this debate contextualized that way. Is it predominately ivy league grads calling to have their debt canceled? If so, I think that really ought to be highlighted.

I think the reason is JS doesn't have much of a standard library. Java, C#, Ruby, Python, Rust, Go, and many others come with a large library you can use to write non-trivial applications without ever needing to fetch an external depen

Does the LSP implementation [1] linked by the JetBrains employee in that thread not work? It pushed a new minor version release a little over a week ago. It seems pretty reasonable to me for them to not pay employee salaries to build a plug

To the extent permitted by the hosted service, you should still backup your data. If you manage to accidentally delete all of your hosted photos or if your account is compromised, I wouldn't rely on most services going to their backups

Setting up a VPN is pretty easy these days. If you don't want to run it on your router, you can look at something like Tailscale for remote access.

Huh? What does sending them to school in an "all-DST winter" matter? I've sent them to school during DST and then during EST. I know how dark it is before the switch over and after. We're not repositioning the earth.

I find myself customizing fish way more than I ever did with Bash. Writing custom completions is easy and I find the scripting syntax a lot nicer. Combining the two is really powerful. Granted, fish ships with a ton of completions out of th

It used to be that school start time went by the age of the student. So, high school kids started first, elementary school kids started last. Based on studies showing that isn't ideal, Massachusetts schools have started changing that a

Getting the kids to adapt sucks, but my kids are considerably more cogent when they wake up and it's not pitch black out. I don't see next school year going well if the sun won't come up until well after they've started

One the biggest arguments for dumping the time switch is the difficulty caused by inconsistent switching between North America and Europe. That's a one hour change that everyone knows about well in advance. I'm not sure how those

Permanent standard time would have been much better. I live in Massachusetts. We have a lot of narrow roads with virtually no street lights. In the winter, it's common for snow or ice to accumulate. Having kids walking to a bus stop an
