Live in Canada and work remotely into the US. Been doing it for the last 6 years...

Or be a digital nomad in a tropical paradise, and avoid the 46% income-tax rate.

Depends how secure your position is I guess... =3

It's not just about the tax rate; make sure you properly understand the residency requirements and where your tax domicile will actually be. Many "digital nomad" visas still have an income threshold or require proof of foreign income, so double-check the fine print.

When you're ready to seriously explore options, NewLife.Help (https://newlife.help) has a solid Move Planner and an excellent cost-of-living comparison tool that can help you weigh different paradises against each other.

Canada taxes on residency, and not citizenship. The number of days in the country directly affects your tax obligations.

If you are a dual US/Canadian citizen, than you may still be expected to file a US return or face fines. Similarly, if your business sells products or services to US customers there are transactional and fiscal state-specific grace levels than can trip tax obligations.

Best of luck =3

Can you still earn the same salary as you would in the US though?

"On the reason for the early publication, Prof Martin said it was related to the software the OBR chose to publish to its website, which was more suitable for a small or medium company than a major publication of critical market-sensitive data."

Using WordPress plugins (with the exception of a limited sub-set) is like chewing gum you find on the sidewalk.

I entirely agree - I have a 30 year career in STEM and am now a senior software architect at a $5b company. I also read, write and speak classical Latin at an advanced (almost fluent) level.

My favourite pastime is quoting Cicero in planning meetings.

I also hire SEs - if I see a resume come in with a CS and liberal arts background, they are definitely going to the top of the pile and getting an interview. If they can explain to me how Plato relates to their work as a SE then the job is theirs...

Lol. Way to filter our people without a western education.

It's ok - most companies that matter are led by people who have spent more time reading the Mahabharata rather than Plato. Enjoy your scraps.

Strikes me as victim blaming and misses the point.

Humanities are critical to society and have been for many thousands of years.

Getting rid of the department because of "glum" people, is downright silly.

I think you are confounding "The Humanities" and the humanities practiced by contemporary faculty.

As the above comment indicates, I guess I may be arguing with ChatGPT, but if it's broke, fix it, don't get rid of it.

You aren't talking to ChatGPT. I agree with you that the humanities would be "fixed" ideally. I don't know how you do that, though. I never said you should get rid of them. Just that I can't really blame UChicago et al. for not supporting what's going on. There are so many other issues with contemporary humanities departments I am not even touching on. Also, no one is "getting rid of the humanities" writ large -- in this case, we're talking about a particular program at a particular institution. Seen another way, retracting support from a broken branch is a good way to redirect resources to better-functioning departments at UChicago and elsewhere.

> I've found that asking AI tools to generate a changeset in this case is actually a pretty solid way of starting to learn the mental model.

This. Leveraging the AI to start to develop the mental model is an advantage. But, using the AI is a non-trivial skill set that needs to be learned. Skepticism of what it's saying is important. AI can be really useful just like a 747 can be useful, but you don't want someone picked off the street at random flying it.

Is there any evidence that AI helps you build the mental model of an unfamiliar codebase more quickly?

In my experience trying to use AI for this it often leads me into the weeds

> I've heard that few can speak Latin 'correctly', because the skill is almost useless

Not useless at all - speaking Latin helps you to better appreciate both prose and poetry. Understanding the sound of the language helps you to appreciate the word play and nuance. Also as children we learn language mostly by listening and speaking, not by reading, so it makes sense to learn Latin in that way.

There's been significant research on reconstructing classical pronunciation. But Latin was spoken as a primary language for over a thousand years, so the pronunciation naturally changed over that time and there were of course regional dialects - some of which evolved into Romance languages.

In reading Latin, it doesn't have a lot of silent letters (it does have some), so it's quite easy to read aloud a Latin sentence once you understand the basic phonetics. In classical times poems like the Aeneid were recited aloud, so doing so today makes sense.

Fluency is a somewhat subjective concept, but the growth of the internet has spawned a growing community of Latin speakers internationally. (I speak Latin at roughly a B2 level and am constantly improving).

Dying broke is the optimal way to die.

The definition of broke could be the residual after the planned distributions to heirs. Or if no heirs, dying flat broke makes the most sense. Getting there is tricky.

It'd be fairly easy if we decided to tackle this problem as a society (averaging out individual spikes). But we went with rugged individualism, so the choice is eating cat food or amassing ludicrous amounts just in case.

There still are massive levels of racism particularly in policing and the justice system. Kids are still dying - https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/thunder-bay/seven-youth-inque...
