For the top 1% and 0.01% the effective tax has been halved from ~50% to ~25%, which is perhaps not very surprising.

It was so extremely ahead of its time. A seemingly unlimited amount of content, nearly everything could be interacted with, and the graphics were very good compared to other games in 1999. Heck, the y had teeth meshes. The background mu

Me and my friend completed the game together as kids, and I vividly remember us being stuck at this stage looking for sailors (IIRC). It accidentally imbued a lot class awareness into us; all we wanted was to revenge our father but here we

This is more in line with building a REPL for your own language. Lisp environments are just that; environments. That is to say that there is a runtime that holds your code in memory, which then enables a REPL to replace parts of the code in

There's few things that makes me dislike someone quicker than when they dismiss the suffering of others, or use their own circumstances to dismiss others inability to "just don't X". Look, man, shut up .

Thank you for a great answer; I did not mean any ill will and apologize if that was how it came across. Perl, Tcl, Smalltalk etc are basically non-existant from where I'm from, so they didn't occur to me. Perhaps I'm projecti

> Python? Ruby with YJIT, JRuby or Truffle Ruby usually beats python code in benchmarks. Isn't that moving the goal post a lot? We wen't from 'faster than a lot of others' to 'competing for worst in class'.

This is a common idiom, and does not necessarily imply mutation. Even in cases where you often do have mutation, say in databases, the benefits of a functional approach lie having pure functions between mutations rather than one big ball of

If not more; the words "modern" and "C++11" are still used in conjunction despite the fact that 2014 was a long time ago.
