   The latter is true, yes. But it could explain the poster.

   If you go fast enough, accelerating and decelerating at 1 g, you can travel a million light years in a perceived time of about 27 years.

   It could be Ada or VHDL, which is even more terrifying still.

   Isn't C++ just capable of being a lot lower level and faster because of it? Aren't all (or almost all) AAA games written using C++? I don't think C# can match C++ performance, even if it is closer than Java.

   Does anybody else remember StumbleUpon? I want that again. It was great for finding new content, better than Reddit or anything else.

   I would agree except Google used to do a good job.

    So far, our comments have boiled down to "Yes you can assess unimproved value of improved land", and "No, you can't, there is no way to get that number separate from the value of improvements." So I'm going to

    What would the unit cost if it were an empty lot? That is the tax.

    by rthomas6 5y ago

    No, because the tax is only on the price someone would pay for the lot.

    The thought-out version of this is called Georgism. It proposes a (close to) 100% tax on the unimproved value of land. Economists agree the tax can't be passed on to renters, for reasons I can't articulate. https://as

    I wonder if it would work to respond with a link to an online form to fill out with the job details. This website would also contain your resume and descriptions/code for your software projects. Kind of a script flip, making potential

    I'm married and do envelope budgeting with Beancount. We share a bank account, and it's my job to update the budget every day. I manually enter all transactions, except for monthly expenses that are scripted to come out automatica

    I do this. I use Cone on Android. It works great but only as an entry method. You can't edit old entries, and it doesn't run anything over the files. It just adds entries and that's it. I couple it with Syncthing, and Fava ru

    Well, if the range of the vehicle is 300 miles per charge, that's 300,000 miles before needing to replace the battery.

    I use this. I set up Fava served over my home network so my wife can look at the budget. There is an android app called Cone that lets you add entries. I sync between phone and PC with Syncthing. It all works really well.

    Please add Huntsville, AL to your board. I'm an FPGA engineer currently working there, and there are a lot of us, at a lot of companies.

    Two objections: 1. Chaos theory ensures that unless we have INFINITE precision measurements, even a perfect simulation of our universe will diverge based on even the smallest differences. A difference of one particle's velocity in the

    I buy them. Streaming services encode streams using lossy compression for both sound and video, and the difference is noticeable, especially for 4k movies with HDR and TrueHD/Atmos. If you have a decent home theater setup, the discs ar

    It also helps to find the one extra weird engineer that loves to write documentation, then have them do that for a while for everything.

    I don't care. They fucking stink in the spring. They don't smell like "sperm", they smell like rotten fish. There must be a gene that lets some people smell it but not others.
