Absolutely. That is either "Teileinkünfteverfahren" (60% of 1 Million EUR are taxed, 40% are tax-exempt) or "Abgeltungssteuer" (Government takes a 25% cut). Fun fact: there is no tax on winning the lottery in Germany!

Donated.

Can't agree more. Imagine you own a resource that every one on the planet needs. Pretty much everyone on the planet is your customer. You have a monopoly. Little to no competition. You control the prices. No need to pay taxes. You are the government, the police and in some cases even the religion.

Ellison can't beat that.

...here we go again.

True, but the business context always changes. I doubt most of the payroll logic from 50 years ago is still in use today. Therefore someone needs to write new code, or change the old code.

Yes, your IBM sales rep makes sure of it.

Tricky problem to implement. I tried to compute requests per seconds from multiple threads. Problem gets much harder if you reach a certain threshold. I think it was round 100 requests per second in my case. After this memory contention becomes a problem. Then I learned about LongAdder in Java. It was a really interesting topic.

He had his time.

Oh wow. I played this ages ago. Congrats to the team. This is dedication.

How do rust crates compare with something like maven or npm? It looks like some issues for example Typosquatting can be done in all of these dependency managers.

Where would the world be if we just would stop innovating after the first idea that works?

These algorithms are such a joy for me to code. Much more fun than the whole enterprise application work most of us 'developers' are stuck with.

Not an expert in HPC, but I think you gain the performance from distributing the data across a vast number of cpu instead of having great cpus to begin with.
