This has been the dream of the capital classes since time immemorial. And unfortunately (for humanity) this has been the status quo for the whole civilization. Small ruling elite class (you might designate them as masters, lords or employer

I'd say the fear is justified. The economy should serve the people and the citizens not the other way around. Yet, our economies are increasingly the other way around, people have to fit into to the shape of the economy. It's not

I just love it how the people in Redmond are so altruistic and continuously thinking about what's best for us users.

I'm so frustrated with Windows 11. I recently bought a laptop and that came with Windows 11. After hours of trying to work around the OOB "experience" that really really wants to you to sign up for a Microsoft account I final

I feel bad for you, and I support you in naming and shaming this company. It's just horseshit to jerk people around like that. I hope you can at least leverage this demo. Maybe remove the identifications of it and shove it into your CV

Wait, what.. you did this as a take home for a position? Damn that looks excessive.

The LC interviews are like testing people how fast they can run 100m after practice, while the real job is a slow arduous never ending jog with multiple detours and stops along the way. But yeah that's the game you have to play now if

Yeah, except when it bugs out. Mentioned some things to try to in another comment. I'd be surprised if it was just me seeing these issues...

I just pointing this out in the other comment. So no, bugs are still there, plenty of system level graphics glitches in all but most trivial circumstances. Jank and glitches. Jank and glitches.

Software doesn't magically become "stale" by itself. It's deliberately broken by PEOPLE who DECIDE TO BREAK IT.

No, what I mean with XFCE and Englightenment is that they admit being alpha. Yeah, well the reality is that NVIDIA drivers are the drivers one wants to use on NVIDIA hardware (which many of us have. And somehow they work fine on X11. It&#x2

Will this help KDE-Plasma finally move from pre-alpha more towards something that can be used daily, or will we still need another decade or two ? Asking this as a user who really would love to move away from X11, but everytime I try anythi

Once you do color space correct color mixing you realize that people actually expect the wrong result, i.e. the result you get from mixing in sRGB and then you have to make the rendering output visually more "correct" by making it

Nice work, without having looked at your particular shader code, I can only imagine the horrors and countless of hours that went into writing and debugging the shader code... Which OpenGL and GLSL versions are you targeting? I've been

I've lost count how many times I've had to struggle to enable a simple logging. Just to make single "log("hello") appear anywhere , in a file, in a console, as smoke puffs in the sky. Infuriating, frustrating, agit

They're deprecating stuff a lot these days. Add in one version and remove in the next. https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/locale/codecvt_utf8.html https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp&#x

Don't worry, C++25 will deprecate half of them and C++27 will remove them while adding 20 new ones just to be deprecated in C++30.

Investing in passive assets such as property that already exists does not create new economy. "Rich people don't "hoard" the means of production, they create it." Actually they do. Look at the GDP growth rates acros

If the US government is 30 trillion dollars in debt someone is 30 trillion dollars in credit. The money doesn't disappear. Now the problem is (in the context of United States) that the number #1 and #2 creditors are People's Repub

"Heavy redistribution of wealth is already in place and it's not making things better." You're right, because the distribution is removing large groups of people from the economy. Just for reference, this has been done

The bureaucracy and the regulation isn't the problem by and large. If anything it just needs to be easier and more automated to navigate the regulation when setting up business. I know that the capitalist really like to sing this song.

I hope this works. The only way to save the economy and the society is by taxing the rich. Think about it for a minute. The rich people hoard all the resources, financial assets, means of production and in the competition for resources they

This is wrong. The rich people are stiffling the economy and displacing a large swath of working people. This process will hollow out the economy and produce more poverty and more inequality. For the wealthy people there are two ways to i

Thats because the state basically printed money and handed it out. Ask yourself when you have a normal working class person who roughly breaks even on their income vs. their spending where does all that money go? They pay rent. And then wha
