Oh god, the 'z' in everything is grating. It feels like so try-hard, and I will not utilise it.

And no, taxes don't just magically benefit everyone. It's actually the point of them, that they are redistributive.
Says who? I mean what if black artists said they gave blues to black people, and white people making rock'n'roll? Black people spent money in black communities, now it's white people making it and spending it in theirs.
In essence they are the same point about outflows of value from the originating community. How you define a community, and what is integral is subjective.
I'm not convinced either way, but this line of reasoning feels dangerous.
I'd rather say that all ownership is communal, and as a community we allow people to retain some value to enable and encourage them further.
The say "pay peanuts, get elephants" exists for a reason.
A related thought I heard was "pay police and army well, because you don't want them to start looking for ways of making more money...".
Outside the assembly line, you aren't just paying for the work themselves but for the character of the person providing. Drive the wage down low-enough and only the desperate apply. I know that locally, one of the first jobs the agency can get recovering homeless drug addicts is a call-centre job. That explains a lot.
It's good to know that once you make it you are safe. It's okay to grind and give 110% on the come-up. Unsustainable drive, passion, fire. But there has got to be a point where you can ease off to giving 90%, even 85%.
Jobs are a part of society, and the society needs to create structures that make room for people to pull back and focus on other things like raising a family.
Sorry, but it doesn't seem that difficult (famous last words). Add a new implicit parameter to all objects just like "this" called "thisArena". When a call to any allocation is made, pass "thisArena" implicitly, unless something else passed explicitly.
That way the arena is viral all the way down and you can create sub-arenas. It also does not require actually passing the arena as parameter.
You don't even need to rewrite any new code, just recompile it.
Is all the IP they acquired with Nuvia[1] tainted? Or were they just using ARM-derived internals?
From my understanding, just slapping on a different instruction decoder isn't a big technical hurdle. Actually, I wonder if it would be possible to design a chip with both an ARM and a RISC-V decoder on the same die and just fuse-off the ARM die on select units to avoid any fees...

New Zealand? Canada? Japan? France? I mean you really aren't trying there.
> if not further along.
The only places further along are China, Russia, Georgia, Venezuela, and Hungary. Even Slovakia or Poland or Germany aren't as bad (though still troubling). It's really hard to be more authoritarian than the US is now still. The Feds claiming they'll keep going at Comey yet again really seals the deal there .
Not saying it's worth it for you, but there are lots of places.
America has the best healthcare. Not the best value, but the best healthcare. It has low taxes, lots of world class cultural institutions, and varied beautiful geography. It is the Rome of our age. Corrupt, amoral, and exploitative? Sure, but with money you can overlook that.
My first thought was is (1) more of a projection of (3) from multiple dimensions to one, or more like the magnitude.
Also, it is known thing or are "trains" a euphemism now like "friend of Dorothy"?
What we need is to normalise small about-town cars for groceries, commuting, and dropping off kids. Something like an e-Citroen.
For long-haul you still want ICE with hybrid.
No, they really weren't. These were state school's in 1970's eastern Europe. No tuition, and neither parent was from a privileged background.
Oof. I'd rather just version the endpoints and have required fields. Defensive is error-prone, and verbose, harder to reason about, and still not guaranteed. It really feels like an anti-pattern.
It was already a classic by the year 2000 and Margaret Atwood has made more than enough money and was an icon even back then. I say this as a fan and someone who paid to meet her.
Copyright should ensure that artists make a living, not enable them to make a killing.
I wasn't talking about X11, just that capability.
Never heard of Waypipe before, but it was mentioned in a sibling comment, and that might be exactly what I'm looking for.
I really wish they would figure this out. It just feels like with Threadripper etc the time is perfect for a return of thin-clients/not-so-dummy terminals running X11-like applications over the network on a server. Especially for development where many of us are running under-powered laptops and could use the boost to compilation from a beefy machine.
I think the problem is that either you can give children freedom to explore the world, or you can make them accountable for their actions. Can't have both, and parents will protect their kids by not letting them get into trouble.
Often you hear the advice that when using C++ your team should restrict yourself to a handful of features. ...and then it turns out that the next library you need requires one of the features you had blacklisted and now it's part of your codebase.
However, if you don't grow and evolve your language you will be overtaken by languages that do. Your community becomes moribund, and more and more code gets written that pays for the earlier mistakes. So instead of splitting your community, it just starts to atrophy.
Python 2 to 3 was a disaster, so it needs to be studied. I think the lesson was that they waited too long for breaking changes. Perhaps you should never go too many releases without breaking something so the sedentary expectation never forms and people are regularly upgrading. It's what web browsers do. Originally people were saying "it takes us 6 months to validate a web browser for our internal webapps, we can't do that!" ...but they managed and now you don't even know when you upgrade.
Sometimes you just need to move forward.
Python 3 should be studied for why it didn't work as opposed to a lesson not to do it again.
Reminds me of my grandma trying to justify having a coke with every meal "to aid digestion". Just have your coke, it's fine, but own it.
