| schestowitz | If you want top talent then you have to pay for it, Microsoft, Amazon, Google and similar companies fight for the best people, apparently more money motivates people to make that change. | Oct 18 00:29 |
| schestowitz | As for bonuses, they do NOT have a higher tax rate, companies withhold a higher percent of that specific check but the amount of taxes you pay for the year is what it is. If more came out than you owe then you'll get some back. | Oct 18 00:29 |

| schestowitz | Can anyone explain why a company would want to give so much cash and why someone would want such a huge part of their compensation to be bonus at the highest tax rate? | Oct 18 00:29 |

| schestowitz | <blockquote> | Oct 18 09:25 |
| schestowitz | <p>Computer software is typically deterministic on paper: if you run twice the same program with the same inputs, you should get the same outputs. In practice, the complexity of modern computing makes it unlikely that you could ever run twice the same program and get exactly the same result, down to the exact same execution time. For example, modern operating systems randomize the memory addresses | Oct 18 09:25 |
| schestowitz | as a security precaution: a technique called Address space layout randomization. Thus if you run a program twice, you cannot be guaranteed that the memory is stored at the same memory addresses. In Go, you can print the address of a pointer with the %p directive. The following program will allocate a small array of integers, and print the corresponding address, using a pointer to the first value. If you run this program multiple times, | Oct 18 09:25 |
| schestowitz | you may get different addresses.</p> | Oct 18 09:25 |
