I can think of few behaviours more human-like than using a content blocker. :)

Not if you can both Doublethink cleverly enough.

Oof, shade thrown.

Made me chuckle.

New York native with just under 10 years professional experience (15 years total). Full-stack engineer with no real specialties and too many side projects.

Seattle has treated me well but it's time to say goodbye. I intend to relocate to Boston, but for the right fit could end up elsewhere.

  Location: Seattle -> Boston
  Remote: Is a strong plus
  Willing to relocate: Only for a great fit.
  Technologies: C, JS, Elixir, Java, Ruby, POSIX, Vimscript...whatever's right for the job.

Flat tax. No more problem.

At least, that's what I'm guessing was meant by the grandparent. That's all _I_ can manage to think at any rate,* is how many tax dollars and man-hours have gone into producing this guide, let alone the rest of the industry that's built up around the somehow herculean task of paying one's tax†, literal myriads of jobs which provide no real value to anyone‡, save that of relief from navigating the Gordian monstrosity that is our tax code: a societal negative value of epic proportions which (unlike so many of the real hard problems facing us today) could just vanish by simply bulldozing the rulebook.

The rules, the exceptions, the loopholes, the brackets, the cutoffs, the deductions, the exemptions, the penalties, the incentives, all of it. Burn it to the ground. Everybody pays 30%, or whatever. Or perhaps everybody earning below $FAT_STACKS pays 30% * ($MY_SAD_SALARY / $FAT_STACKS). Or whatever. Better yet, let's tax consumption instead of production. Perhaps excepting food, clothing, shelter. Treat yoself? Have at it, but 40% of that Cessna goes to Uncle Sam. That 1.2kg of bling? Okay, only 30% because it doesn't pollute, it just looks stupid.

Of course, none of that's going to happen. If I'm honest, I'd be a happy camper if only the Infernal Rich Suits didn't put the onus on _me_ to run my numbers through this Rube Goldberg device you cooked up and ostensibly understand. _Especially_ as you already have my W2⁂, heck thanks to withholding you already have my money! I never had a choice in the matter! So why the pointless exercise, either calculate the bloody number and send a check (or just venmo me yo), or just _keep_ it all, and please don't break my kneecaps. The guns are on your side, after all. But let's not get into a 2nd Amendment debate this early in the morning.

...whoops, I ranted there a bit. I might be a little stressed, something about this time of year. Can't quite put my finger on it. But don't worry, once April 20th rolls around, the herbal remedies⬫ will take effect and I'll be back happy as a clam.

* (once past the initial "hmm, that's mildly interesting")

† by "tax" I mean specifically income tax in the US. There are of course bunches of other taxes, but they generally work as intended and don't cause hypertension

‡ with apologies to tax pros, you're all fantastic humans and like no offense, but your job shouldn't exist

or at least encyclopedic proportions

⁂ along with my savings balance, stock portfolio, credit score, marriage, er, relationship status, and what I ate for breakfast, because like it or not, Big Brother is manifest

⬫ which God gave us, which grow out of the dirt just like corn, which I, a grown-up, have the liberty to consume because I live in this great nation which was founded on such liberty. And justice. For all. Except the president. Because he's special. Very special.

No, those things are in a different section of your Facebook profile.

Funny, if you flip to any recent thread about climate change, you're likely to come across someone advocating less steak and more pasta. Why? Producing meat is incredibly resource-intensive; cows are the biggest offenders. They literally shit greenhouse gas.

Which is not to say I don't enjoy a nice juicy cheezburger. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

What a time to be alive.

Thanks for sharing! I see your 3.5k and raise (lower?) you 1.6k

Echoing others, as blog posts go, that's the exception and not the rule. Inline demos are furthermore not "primary content" but supplementary material.

They call that a DDoT.

I'm rusty but, como votar por Trump si __seas__ Mexicano? Or is the eres Mexican, too?

I can't understand a word of this. I could be mistaken, but it smells like like a gem or two of insight, too greatly attenuated via the sleep waves.

I'd very much like to read the well-rested organized retransmission.

That's sort of the debate here, I think. Given $DANGEROUS_THING with $EVENTS_BEYOND_MY_CONTROL, I want to predict and plan for $EVENTS_BEYOND_MY_CONTROL to the best of my ability.

What's more unpredictable: stupid human drivers, stupid robot drivers, complex mechanical machines, or weather? Who is John Galt?

Nifty.

`p = (errno = SABOTAGE) ? NULL : malloc(size);`

Is this a typo in README, or does it actually assign and then check?

Perhaps a brief gameplay vid for those of us who don't have iThings?

Even among open-source titles, this one excels. Witness:

* Uses Golang

* For Phishing

* Gopher, a digging rodent

* Go Fish, a card game where you steal from your opponent

That's a quadruple entendre. Well played.

Look, I'm not a fan of Big Brother either (I don't think any of us are). But unqualified black-white statements like this (combined with Good Intentions™) are largely what got us into this mess in the first place.

Lawmaker logic astounds me. If they wanted to spur fiber laying in Oregon, why not (wait for it) incentivize fiber laying in Oregon. Nah, let's just introduce a wacky indirect property tax loophole.

TL;DR: "Yadda yadda terrorists something something guns kill people blah blah blah think of the children yadda AMERICA."

Truly, I'm getting weary of all the nearly-identical news of Uncle Sam's assault on digital privacy. If the strategy is to desensitize and wear down the US populace, it's working.

> 3. Build your binaries once.

Assuming your builds are solidly reproducible like they should be, how do such differences "sneak in"?

Granted, truly reproducible builds in the first place are Really Hard(tm).

Off the top of my head, not many. One might be densely cross-linked documentation markup stored on GitHub but officially published elsewhere. If you have reason to use absolute paths and want your docs navigable everywhere, you need to do something to about the `/$USER/repo/blob/master` vs. `/doc/wiki` (or whatever).

Or, to ease writing said docs, you might wish to resolve "fake" urls like `wiki:Batman`, which should point at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman ...which I guess still amounts to prepending, doesn't it?

It's not immediately clear what this does do your HTML/CSS files. It's sort of hinted at in the logo image, but the (many) examples would be much more helpful if some sample input and output text were provided.

I'm not convinced the use case of sticking CDNs in front of URLs is broad or complex enough to justify bringing in another tool (e.g. I'm pretty sure Rails does this out of the box). That said, I could see this growing into a general-purpose URL transformer.

Thank God. Can you imagine?

"Seems" is not the same as "is". In the US at least, I see not corruption so much as deeply entrenched dysfunctional incentives.

It's not malice or conspiracy or even stupidity. It's simply the way the US's political, economic, and industrial systems (alternately known as THE MAN) co-evolved.
