That's literally impossible given the way our Constitution and government is written. The only way would be a civil war by those who don't like the ideas of "states" and I don't think there are enough of those indiv

You're assuming Texas doesn't collect very many taxes, we're actually somewhere in the middle of "total tax load" for all 50 states, however the middle and lower class pay more than in other states to make up for ta

The governemnt isn't run by meritocracy, it's run by politicians looking to maximize their power and wealth. They could be perfectly logical and learn to compromise amongst all but the most extreme outliers of the various parties,

I have tree logic in a c++/c/rust/javascript and have reused it several times for these UI tasks where we want a collapsible list. It's pretty easy to map most UI "tree" widgets to it as they mostly work the sa

They really aren't struggling we have plenty of firepower there. But yeah, China will soon outstrip our naval numbers by a large amount within the end out of the decade. We still have better tech but what do we do when they launch 200

And Chinese military build out seems to be "perfect is the enemy of good enough" and "quantity has a quality all its own", so soon we're likely to be the ones playing catch up despite our huge military budget and ou

I should fire it up, I haven't tried it in a while. It was the only thing I could use that seem to accurately (more or less) index large projects that you, uh, had some issues compiling and just want to navigate around and look through

You seem to be assuming that on a large code base that you have top 1% programmers. I suppose that is the case for some places that are paying $500k average pay, but most businesses don't pay that and have average developers and a few

not a bad idea. in that case you can just bookmark them, no?

in the usa, most people do not dry by hanging clothes. I suppose that's what they're talking about. Not everyone is going to take the context as "the entire world" most people will think of their home country I think, I

I don't think that these types of articles are meant to offend, just to point out how far miniaturization has come along as well as the software tools that support the silicon. That is no insult to the original engineers and scientists

Why would living on long island mean you would watch a lot of people go through it? Is there some some kind of cancer hot spot on long island? Genuinely curious.

They've definitely gotten more greedy and want to offer less and while making you pay for more. I have been on the fence since they started blocking VPN, this may be the nail in the coffin.

they've been introducing it in some things over time. I think this may be my exit call. I've been using it less over time, I usually order enough to get the free shipping, etc, so ditching prime might be the best option as hint, i

They affect performance, forcing the dev to insure they aren't doing unsafe/ill-defined things which is almost impossible on huge code bases in c/c++

Yeah it's hard for a lot of programmers to context switch back to when a megabyte a HUGE amount of memory (or even 640kB). I think everyone should play around on arduino uno or even smaller memory cpus to get some perspective. You didn

I really wish ruby would have become the biggest scripting language rather than python.

I think most libertarians argue holds water that weed and dealing weed is a victimless crime. Now redo that with "how many people are in for dealing weed (and only weed) and other drugs" and that number goes way up. Obviously peop

The only thing that keeps me on a Mac is familiarity, and air macs are silent. I am open to any suggestions for Linux laptops that are quiet or almost silent, most have fans that rev up, I'll gladly sacrifice some CPU for quiet or even

Why did you yell at the manager? I mean they don't have the power to change such things. They can report it to the higher ups, but yelling at them will only lower the chances that complaint would ever see the light of day.

I think on average, more competition is better for consumers than all these massive oligopolies. I doubt it is for stockholders, though, especially those who want to ditch the stock soon.

I agree, this is a big win for Figma customers as they aren't hampered by “even bigger” corporate politics and can be more nimble. I'm not so sure about stockholders at the companies, though. Furthermore, I'm sure they would
