openonload is faster than the kernel even with the most basic configuration, which is pretty much drop-in and requires zero changes on your application.

Re real estate: indeed an LVT would go a long way to ameliorate the unsustainable situation regarding housing across Europe. It's a simple and efficient solution, and can be applied at the country level. But I would argue that the situ

Economics is political, so it should come as no surprise that economists have political opinions about what should be done at the level of the economy. Or is only that which is vaguely left-wing that is "political" or "ideolo

What is a progressive tax? Ridiculous straw man, because this is like saying income tax should be abolished because minimum wage people can't afford it. Yeah no shit that's why it's progressive. In the case of inheritance, ev

Unlike people, capital has no nation. It can just move effortlessly from France to Switzerland to the Cayman Islands. That's why single-country initiatives to e.g. tax wealth (or even tax extremely profitable companies) are doomed to f

The work of Piketty [0] and others shows that wealth inequality has surpassed pre-WWI historical maximums. The postwar "golden age of capitalism" has given way, from the 70s until today, to a neoliberal system that simply doesn&#x

rustc stable is continually updated yes. But surely any given release of debian targets a specific version of the toolchain. What's the issue?

If only things could be made so parts that wear out can be swapped at a repair shop... More seriously: I believe many refurbished resellers do swap a new battery on the higher quality tiers.

It's a valid point lol. "A single html file" for me is a Ciechanowski page, not something that needs many gigabytes of bloat to compile.

I really don't see the problem with the current notation. I find that is very simple and intuitive: function calls bind tightly, use a space to change that. f_i(x) vs f_i (x) 1/x(a+b) vs 1/x (a+b) ab vs a b So simple. Being t

Both your perspectives are supremely short-sighted. There are enough good films coming out to literally watch 1 or 2 every week. Of course if you limit yourself to superhero slop or Hollywood slop then yes, you're gonna have that impre

Like several modern pieces of technology, it would in fact be "super cool" if only it ran locally and respected your privacy, and if it weren't in fact just a paper-thin excuse for massive and constant surveillance.
