If you looks around other comments, people are suggesting alternatives. freetaxusa has my vote. Also I would bet that every town in the country with more than a couple thousand people has an office downtown where someone will file for you

I guess it depends on what we're calling "hard work". I think most software devs have already done lots of different types of hard work to get where they are. Going to school, doing intern work, finding a job and learning new

Do people still hate jQuery? I feel like the consensus is that that jQuery was a great tool for the time, but is not so critical today. Yeah, we've all seen spaghetti code monstrosities that involve lots of jQuery, but it's just a

I think that it can work. IMO ActiveRecord is a perfect use of inheritance. You get tons of useful functionality out of the box, you don't have to worry about what that code looks like, and it's easy to extend or modify it. But of

I'm sure you already know this, but that is not censorship. By definition, censorship is done by a government or some other outside entity. In the case of video games, it's the companies themselves making these changes to make the

I think for many people in communities like this, it's easy to just place the blame on the rest of the community. If dozens of people are participating, they don't think their actions count for much. As for the people running the

Well the new sprites are certainly an improvement from the last time they remade these games, but I still think it's a step down. I don't really get what they're doing. I fell in love with FF6 at a young age, and huge part of

Well if you weren't going to pay for it in the first place they're not losing anything.

I really don't understand Brave. What special thing do they offer that people actually want? The main concrete selling point seems to built-in ad blockers, but we've had that for ages in every other browser. They have some crypto

My relatively small city has free public transit, it's very nice. There isn't a big homeless population though. A quick Google search shows that quite a few bigger cities are also doing it for free.

Unless the attackers revealed their exploit, it probably wasn't fixed and they just got in again the same way.

Yeah, it's sad. I would like to play mobile games, but every time I check it out it's the same thing. There's an initial cool gameplay idea that's fun for ~1 hour that is then stretched into eternity, which makes it ulti

Or, in a worst case scenario, they will be free, with ads, and the ecosystem will turn into a trash fire like the mobile game market did.

Well the fear of letting a child go by themselves would be that they would get lost, kidnapped, or robbed.

That may be because myself and many others here live in areas where we never rode trains or subways at all.

I think this debate is too often a false dichotomy. There's a huge range of choices between never letting kids leave your sight until they're 18, and letting them ride a subway by themselves at age 9. Parents are currently leaning

It's not like the supply chains just vanished. It's just a huge, slow moving machine that will take some time to catch up.

Even as Americans we find these amusing. They tell you to "ask you doctor about x." Does anyone do that ever? They're also unintentionally hilarious now that they can't read the side effects at super speed, so 50% of the

I think this is unfair. You can try to have empathy and understanding for someone without knowing the intricacies of their beliefs.

As far as I know, everything they make sells out instantly, you'd think they could start doing bigger production runs. I realize scarcity can drive up demand, but everything in their store being out of stock is little much.

Just to be pedantic, it's never been available on Linux, and in my experience, iTunes on Windows has been much worse than Mac for about a decade.

This is an egregious over simplification of religious belief. I think most religious people are absolutely not 100% sure. That's why faith is such a big topic, and why philosophers and theologians have written about faith, the existenc

I've recently found a podcast called "your favorite band sucks" that's along these lines. They have real criticisms of popular bands, but it's also a bit tounge-in-cheek. It's a nice contrast to the typical wor
