(Not saying one country is better than the other but) in the US, there are no taxes on gifts until you gift more than $11 million in your life. If you go above $15,000 in any calendar year, you do have to notify the government, though.

There is nothing wrong with using a non-linear model, though; x^2 or x^3 regressions make sense on many datasets. Non-continuous is also not the perfect terminology, but I argue that it is more precise than non-linear: the chief idea being

by tylerhou 6y ago
I assume they are using non-linear to mean non-continuous, which implies that there can be large, hard-to-understand changes in behavior when the input is changed only a small amount.

by tylerhou 6y ago
One theory behind ARM's power efficiency is that you don't have to waste power and area converting x86 into uops. But this is a constant overhead. It matters a lot on 5/10W TDP mobile processors, but matters much less on 45W

Spinning up a local instance of postgres defeats the whole purpose of an end-to-end test. The purpose of an end-to-end test is to test the whole system end-to-end ; this includes network, other servers, etc. Each of these can break, which

Maybe an area you want to carve out an exception for are benchmarking tests; i.e. tests that ensure that a function runs faster/slower than a certain speed. In this case, you probably need more than 100ms of testing for accurate result

I assume the parent commenter meant unit tests must take < 100ms. Unit tests should be mocking databases in-memory. So latency to databases in unit tests should be less than a microsecond. It's okay (and expected) if integration and
