I can only speak for the USA, but the first-past-the-post voting plus a very strong bias towards rural areas and former slave-owner states, results in a government that poorly represents any of its constituents. I don't know if even ri

People don't seem really engaged in politics. They find it a frustrating waste of time because the news doesn't bother explaining anything to them, so they don't see the results of elections. They say both sides are the same.

No, inequality is bad because money buys political power. Using some made-up numbers: Say a typical cost of living is $50,000 per year. If you make $100,000 per year after tax, you can spend that extra $50,000 per year on political efforts

Here's a freebie: - $30k for anything that helps my community / humanity - $100k for anything harmless that I just don't give a damn about - 3 million per month after tax to work on weapons of war

One of my guilty pleasures as a software engineer is that working on my Winchester House is way more fun than working on someone else's Cathedral, or Bazaar.

The US sits in a strange incentive landscape. Since the government and corporations aggressively spy on everyone, and since government programs are often incompetent or overfunded or underfunded or corrupted or evil, there is (justly) littl

Someone mentioned environment maps. Anything that's done with framebuffers or render-to-texture might benefit. e.g. Water reflections and refractions, metal surfaces reflecting the world, mirrors in bathrooms, panini distortion for hig

It's true. There's no one silver bullet, it will have to be a multi-front push: 1. Just build more 2. Zone for multi-family housing 3. Get rid of minimum parking and minimum lot size requirements 4. Allow mixed-user residential an

Android has a debug tool that flashes colors when any composed layer changes. It's probably an easy optimization for them to not re-render when nothing changes.

Not GP but I assume the fixed prices have to be fairly high to account for people using lots of power during peak demand when most people use lots of power?

Yeah I remember hearing that SOTC's "SuperLow" LOD was a 2D image. Trespasser also did that, but only for trees and props, not for terrain objects. Trespasser being basically a heightmap with dinosaurs dropped in

async is simply a difficult problem, and I think we'll find irreducible complexity there. Sometimes you are just doing 2 or 3 things at once and you need a hand-written state machine with good unit tests around it. Sometimes you can&#x

The Android example is a bummer. After this many years and generations of GUI frameworks, you should not have to experiment nor dig into source code to learn how to do something as simple as laying out your widgets. The docs should have exa

One issue with SQLite is that it's _not_ rewritten every time like JSON and XML, so if you forget to vacuum it or roundtrip it through SQL, you can easily leak deleted data in the binary file.

It's free, but it's a dependency. I don't have sharp rhetoric for it, but I could find bipartisanship with right-wingers if they apply the "big government giving you welfare means they can take it away from you" to

I've had that same experience. On new systems I install earlyoom. I'd rather have one app die than the whole system. You'd think after 30 years of GUIs and multi-tasking, we'd have this figured out, but then again we don
