41,793,401 | comment | AnthonyMouse | 2024-10-09T22:25:11 | null | > Why do I care about someone being deprived of a portion of some investment his great-grandfather made?<p>Because they only get deprived of it if they sell it, so that gives them more incentive not to sell it, but selling it may be more economically productive, and then you lose the positive externalities of the more productive investment <i>and</i> the tax revenue it would have generated, which could by itself plausibly be more than the loss from the step up in basis.<p>In general the problem is that capital gains taxes when implemented simplistically create a lot of perverse incentives (tax on productive investment is economically undesirable in general and some of the edge cases are especially ugly), and then the tax code gets full of warts that try to reduce the bad incentives/consequences instead of rethinking the structure of the tax.<p>> If I get money from some relative who invested in stuff and then you get money from working really hard in a way that someone thought valuable so they gave you money for your work, why should you pay taxes on that money while I don't pay taxes on the money I got from my dead relative?<p>Your dead relative already paid the taxes on any money earned in the equivalent way. Capital gains are on asset appreciation, which is an industrial-sized can of worms. | null | null | 41,793,139 | 41,780,569 | null | null | null | null |

41,793,444 | comment | jltsiren | 2024-10-09T22:30:07 | null | Non-trivial data structures are often just a bunch of arrays/maps with additional semantics. You may consider implementing/using unchecked versions of basic operations for a little bit of additional performance. If you implement (de)serialization yourself, you may need unsafe code. Sometimes the safety of deserialization may be a convenient lie, if checking the invariants fully would be too expensive. And sometimes you may want to expose internal helper functions for various purposes, which may have to be marked unsafe if they can break the invariants.<p>Beyond that, you only need unsafe code for specific kinds of data structures. At least in my experience. | null | null | 41,792,980 | 41,791,773 | null | [

It's crazy how quickly you change your opinion about advertisements once you start needing to advertise your own business. All of the sudden, they're this amazing benefit for society.<p>Advertisements can be good (when the business is good and genuinely wants you to know about good new product), and they can be bad (when the business if bad / misleading / scammy). An optimist would say there are more good than bad. I suppose you wouldn't consider yourself an optimist. | null | null | 41,791,313 | 41,784,287 | null | [

41,793,464 | comment | wrs | 2024-10-09T22:32:04 | null | It's apples and oranges. The type system in Kotlin is integrated into the language. TypeScript is a preprocessor for JavaScript that isn't allowed to change the JavaScript language, or have any runtime.<p>The "as Foo" construct is for you to tell TS that you know better than it, or that you deliberately want to bypass the type system. You can have a runtime check, but you have to write the code yourself (a type predicate), because TS doesn't write or change any JavaScript*, it just type-checks it.<p>I've certainly worked in new codebases where a relatively simple subset of TS types were used. Even then there were a few places the crazy type system was helpful to have. For example, we enforced that the names of the properties in the global configuration object weren't allowed to have consecutive uppercase letters!<p>(* with minor exceptions like transpiling for new JS features) | null | null | 41,791,780 | 41,764,163 | null | null | null | null |

41,793,476 | comment | neonsunset | 2024-10-09T22:33:48 | null | Hmm, usually the application start latency is very good. Significant improvements have been made to ensure that Tier-0 compiles fast. A base ASP.NET Core template takes about 120ms to start on my machine as tested with .NET 8 and Hyperfine (I modified it with starting the server with await app.RunAsync, then raising a CancellationToken on it in 10ms which outputs an error message in console about the fact and exits).<p>There is a good chance something else might be going on in one of the dependencies or perhaps some other infra package a team maintains, that slows this down. Sometimes teams publish SDK images on accident that have to be pulled over the network if they got evicted from the node cache, or try to use self-contained instead of runtime image + plain application - I know at least two cases where this was causing worse than desired deployment speed on GKE (arguably GKE is as much at fault here, but that's another topic). | null | null | 41,792,790 | 41,788,026 | null | [
