Their price list wasn't that confidential last I spoke with the sales team. It depends on the license type. Last I heard, it's around $15k/year for a standard subscription license. You can probably trial it for free, or be a student and have longer free access.
This does feel a bit like propaganda. I'm a CPA with ex-Big4 audit experience, albeit only 4 years, and specialized in revenue rather than expenses. I just briefly read over the pwc summary of the related FASB standards covering Subtopics ASC 985-20 and ASC 350-40. It pretty much says that you expense everything on software that intended for selling until it's technologically feasible. Upgrades afterwards are capitalized, then amortized. Internal software development is capitalized. Like, if you build internal infrastructure, it likely has value, similar to PP&E. Differences is, Equipment is physical. The value of the software is the minds and time that went into it. I'm also certain that if you could prove to your auditors that your software is not worth much, you could probably expense more of the costs. This whole thread screams big tech company propaganda.
any amount paid or incurred in connection with the development of any software shall be treated as a research or experimental expenditure [and be capitalized and amortized over five years even if it is disposed of, retired, or abandoned]
I stand corrected. I've not seen GAAP vs IRS differ so much in my experience. Thanks for referencing IRS section 174 which clears things up. It appears to be quite strict on the 5/15 year amortization of software development expenses, and I now agree with OP that the change to section 174 as part of the TCJA is some bullshit.
R, specifically tidyverse, has a special place in my heart. Tidy principles makes data analysis easy to read and easy to use new functions, since there are standards that must be met to call a function "tidy."
Recently I started using Nushell, which feels very similar.
This is great. If you ever wrote about your entire setup I'd love to read it. Got a few new ideas from your post. To anyone reading, the most helpful tool for setting up my homelab is the community helper-scripts (formerly tteck, RIP). Those have saved me soooo much time, and showed me best practices in setup, and the list of scripts give you a good idea of tools that are commonly used.
I have drafts for it but maybe I shouldn't have made this comment under my anonymous account lol.
I'm a firm believer that tools should be made to be usable by both technical and nontechnical people. Usually we do one or the other but it's a false dichotomy. "For the noobs" pushes for sane defaults, reduced complexity, and fixing bugs. It's also an entry point to become a power user, especially as being a power user in one domain doesn't mean you're automatically in another. "For the power users" gives flexibility, helps fix bugs (faster and higher coverage), as well as is critical for feature development (unless you naively believe you can know everything your diverse users need and have an infinite budget), and evangelize your product. The magic of success requires having both but I think we pretend it is one or the other. It needs to work well and be pretty.
I don't. Sure, I can root my TV and certainly there's exploits for that. But honestly that example isn't the problem and is much more easily solved by treating my TV as a monitor.
Yup, the key word for me is control. And over time, considering the continual loss of control, more people will adopt self hosting, and things will get better and easier. For now, i only recommend it to hobbyists or people with free time and money. It does take quite a while to get it all running smoothly.
Smart Playlists mainly. They let you add logical filters to create playlists. Think IF song_name NOT contains "live". That's not syntactically correct but that's the idea. Also lots of apps can connect to navidrome so you can import everything easily. Like Feishen is a desktop music player, and
