I'm still in that boat, and I am an 8 YoE "Software Engineer". I recently got into boardgame.io library (also made by a Googler, coincidentally) and it is a fantastic library.
I've attempted to make min-max CLI board game simulations before but failed. Also tried (still somewhat active) to make a 2D artillery game and got close, but just kept getting bogged down in framework (actually migrating from framework to framework) and other chores. Currently it uses LibGDX.
With this boardgame lib I just wrote game logic. It was fun, for a change! Plus it has multiplayer and integrates with React really well for a UI so it's actually useful.
I just wanted the CLI boardgame sims to find the best moves/races in games I play IRL. With this I can actually have other people play and maybe show it off at some point.
Perhaps, but I think most of the difference is between healthcare provider plans. In other words, depends on who employs you.
Except it's more annoying than spam email because it actively interrupts people.
And since origins are spoofed, I usually can't determine if it's a robocall unless I answer. Especially if you are expecting unknown number calls (selling something, etc.)
- doesn't let you repeat actions, or patterns of actions (move back and forth in a stalemate like pattern).
Detecting non-trivial stalemates is hard, though.
$3000 deductible, no HSA
$6000 deductible, HSA
$9000 deductible, HSA
I pay $370/month in premiums... $100 of that a fee because my spouse is eligible through her employer but the plans are even worse, so we declined it.
So we pay $4,500/year in premiums. Which equates to roughly a 20% effective income tax instead of ~15% normally.
This is ridiculous. Whomever seems best to get a single-payer plan in place is who I'll vote for. Absolutely no reason it should matter who my employer is for what doctor I can go see or how much I pay in private, personal medical bills.
Retirement accounts I feel the same way, but that's a long way off for the US.
Other countries have solved this fucking problem, I'm tired of elected congressmen firing back with "BUT VENEZUALA" quips every time someone mentions "Medicare for all".
And the proper response to that is "So we should eliminate Medicare altogether then, right? Where's your bill for that?"
Perhaps coincidentally, my bench is considerably weaker than my other 2 lifts.
The UI did feel a bit slow at times, and I had other specific complaints that I don't recall now but I was happy to have an open-source video editor.
Members of his immediate family and campaign flirted with people associated with the Russian government. He lied about his Russian financial deals. His National Security Adviser lied about his contacts with Russians and his foreign ties. And finally, Trump talks so oddly fond of Russia (and other despots) without ever condemning their human rights abuses.
It was worth investigating.
* Lack of e-file permission
* Lack of any kind of legal recourse or audit protection for the user
* Constantly changing tax system
After a casual search on GitHub I see a few calculator projects but nothing serious.
I'd be down to help make a free competitor to Intuit. I see no reason to use a non-static site unless it's to keep previous years data, but that's iffy and sounds like it requires a whole other legal consideration.
> pick up some mass-produced groceries, full of toxins and colourings and GMOs, even if they are labelled “organic” and “fresh”, all forbidden in Europe
As if just being a "GMO" by itself is a disqualifier. That'd be 90% of the crops on the planet. And the catch-all "toxins". Oi the naivety.
There are some truths in that article but it was hard to read without cringing. That and he generalizes the entire US when public parks, transportation, art, events etc. vary wildly by state.
Ok, well public transport is pretty terrible everywhere in the US.

Is this a real saying? Or a typo?
Very well put.
Hinges on the browsers never sending that key, though.
Luckily it's on a backed up RAID6 array, in private server, streamable whenever I want.
I mirror all my purchases onto equipment I own, and so I guess I get the benefits of both.
And I store my DB in Dropbox, but not the key.
> American Dream
The so-called American Dream of social mobility does not exist anymore. It's a relic from the 50s, where a single income from a modest job could support an entire family, with a summer vacation every year.
The more modern examples of rags-to-riches bootstrapping-my-own-widget business are atypical.
The middle class is disappearing and it's not because they are upward bound.
I mean, ideally they'd strive to reduce those inefficiencies, but why does it need to be a certain level of efficient to be considered "good"?
