I am in the same position - my accountant got an opinion from a CPA who said that software development costs _must_ now be capitalized. My company sells support and maintenance contracts for some open-source software, and so the 'software development' entails updating the software to work on newer operating systems and platforms etc. Contractor programmers are paid to do this software maintenance work.

At issue seems to be the interpretation of the change introduced in Section 174(3) saying:

"(3) Software development For purposes of this section, any amount paid or incurred in connection with the development of any software shall be treated as a research or experimental expenditure."

Does this mean that payments to programmers to fulfill the software maintenance contract _must_ be considered R&E expenditure (and can thus not be deducted as Section 162 "Trade or business expenses" and _must_ be capitalized in terms of the amendments to Section 174).

If this is the correct interpretation of the amended law, I would expect large companies like Apple and Alphabet to be subject to this problem as well - surely it would be material if one of their main costs (being software developer salaries) cannot be expensed from this year. Yet I have seen no comments around this from that side, either explaining suddenly higher earnings or higher taxes due.

If that is not the correct interpretation of Section 174(3), and some programming related costs are not to be considered R&E expenditure, how do I explain the reasoning to my accountant?

IronScheme aims to be a R6RS conforming Scheme-like implementation for all .NET implementations and platforms. https://github.com/IronScheme/IronScheme

That's a rather misleading way of reporting on this answer to a question of whether there will some kind of Blazor support from VB added in .NET 6.

Kathleen Dollard: "Unfortunately, we do not have new scenarios planned for VB.NET in .NET 6.

We do have new VB.NET experience features including source generation to allow the VB.NET to benefit from improved IDE features."

Maybe the title should be "Few VB.NET improvements planned for .NET 6"?

In fact, I'll take $ 550.

I have a copy in very good condition, and am willing to sell it for only $ 5500 (shipping included).

I think this is normally done in terms of 'units of measure'. Here's how F# implements this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fsharp/language-refe... https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/posts/units-of-measure/

Have you given PyXLL a try?

It would be wonderful if it were possible to integrate with this 'pointer' mechanism in a custom way for .xll add-ins too, like those made in C/C++, .NET (with Excel-DNA), Python (with PyXLL) or D (with excel-d)? There's a huge ecosystem of Excel add-ins that could benefit by access to just a few of the hooks being build for the JavaScript support.

You can add-in IntelliSense for VBA functions using the (free) Excel-DNA IntelliSense extension. See this detailed write-up by Charles Williams: https://fastexcel.wordpress.com/2016/10/07/writing-efficient...

It's a trilogy. The second part is called "Masters of Reality".

Maybe Avalonia support can be added to OxyPlot (https://github.com/oxyplot/oxyplot/tree/develop/Source). It's already portable with a bunch of rendering targets.

This seems to be a re-run of the story from June 2013: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2043847/advertisers-can-pay-a...
