Interesting, since New Zealand is in many ways comparable with Finland.

In Finland the tax rate for $100K USD would be 41.3% on average. The common consumption tax is 24% (VAT). On top of that, certain goods like alcohol, gas, cars, could have additional goods specific tax that could be well over 100%.

Unemployment stands at I think 6.6%.

I moved to using an IDE. Everything is saved and always. There isn't even a save button. I also moved from vi/vim quite painlessly and never find ':wq' or 'hhhjjjj' in documents that I have edited, this was a genuine danger once.

With the right tools - an IDE with version control - the quaint notion of saving files can be mostly forgotten and the fear of losing unsaved work banished. Even if over 30 adaptation is possible so long as it is an easy, downhill path with less to do instead of new stuff to learn.

It used to be 'Jesus saves' but now, for me, my motto is to just use an IDE.
I'm not especially informed on the topic, but my guess is that your options for facing a totalitarian regime are:

* Outright rebellion: Likely to result in large-scale violence and suffering.

* Persistent gradual resistance: Messages like these may gradually sway the government to accept more progressive ideas, become a more legitimate democracy, and develop to a point where such atrocities don't happen. Doing so with an air of respect may make it more likely for mainland citizens and softer-hearted government officials to take your side.

Obviously it'd be best if those responsible for concentration camps just swiftly and permanently lost all their power. But I don't know how one would make that happen.
We are talking about the electoral college, which enables tyranny of the minority.

Not only can a candidate win the electoral college while losing the popular vote, but the winner-take-all system means that only votes in closely-contested states really matter. The Electoral College allows the minority to overrule the majority.
Give us some credit: it's the best 2019 we've had so far!
Our bodies give an upper bound of five sensory inputs.

That’s either dismissing or handwaving a lot. Is my sense of balance part of sight, sound, taste, hearing or smell?

What about proprioception? Am I touching the air behind me?

When I feel a surface and I know if it’s sharp knife, blunt knife, wet stone, dry wood, slippery or grippy, briefly static electrically charged, hot, cold, crumbly, greasy, delicate or solid, is that all just “touch”?

When I pick up an egg and know if it’s real or metal, slipping out of my fingers or held gently, at risk of cracking or just right, being properly supported or about to fall to one side, balanced or weighted inside, hard boiled or sloppy inside, is that all just “touch” one sense?

When I feel the thump of a heavy bass line in my stomach - touch?

Stomach ache - touch?

Headache, in a brain with no touch sensitivity?

Feeling radiated warmth on face - touch?

Tiredness, hunger, thirst, spine tingling, faintness, muscle ache, body feedbacks - touch?

Prefetchers don't do anything do reduce the power consumption involved in streaming data from memory, they only reduce the latency seen by the CPU. In fact, since the prefetcher sometimes makes mispredictions, they tend to increase power.
I'm sure that, if you're carrying a torch for Haskell, TypeScript can feel very primitive--though I don't enjoy writing Haskell, in my experience it turns into an exercise in navel-gazing and write-only code compared to TypeScript or F#--but on the other hand normal people can write it and be productive and that's kind of important, yeah? I think the TS folks did a great job in making something that I can bring into engineering shops to make average to average-plus developers significantly better and significantly safer.

I'd really disagree with the notion that discriminated unions/ADTs are useless; the compiler is clever and will constrain the type in an `if` or a `switch` (particularly useful with an enum type, too). I use this regularly and it's really effective; my `nestjs-auth` library makes it more or less a requirement and its users seem to really dig it. And if you do it as an abstract class instead of a key, you can use polymorphism to take care of a lot of what would otherwise be pretty clunky--this is how you can make a solid maybe/option type in the vein of Scala.
Maybe they found one good client, a 3 letter one.
I think it's unfair to claim that addressing the problem doesn't require more man hours, though. If you were (or maybe you are, I don't know) unable to program, how would you solve a programming need?

Either by hiring someone to do it for you, obviosuly adding man hours, or by changing your own skill set and the distribution of your focus which either takes time outright (which translates to man hours, as you learn new skills) or changes the distribution of hours, taking effort away from other areas of the game, such as writing.
Before leaving software, give freelancing / contracting a chance!

I’ve managed to get great clients for years+ working 20hrs/week. I’m briefly doing 40hrs/week right now and am definitely finding it draining!

One neat benefit of freelancing is that if you don’t feel like working, don’t! It’s a win win. You don’t work when you feel drained and the company doesn’t pay you for your least productive hours.

Best of luck!
I predict a presidential popular vote would have a moderating effect. Meaning more voters would be targeted.

With FPTP, each side tries to have the smallest winning coalition. This results in more competitive races. So every vote would matter.

Said another way, our current unfair gerrymandering worsens partisanship.

Said yet another, when my local city council went from at-large positions to districts based, so kinda the opposite of from electoral college to presidential popular vote, candidate platforms went from "appeal city wide" mush to "better appeal to my district".

(A better moderator would be to change from FPTP to approval voting or ranked choice voting. But that's another thread.)

--

But to your point, in practical terms, with modern get out the vote (GOTV) technology and strategies, most every voter is already targeted. They're certainly accounted for.

As the de facto head of their parties, presidential candidates are expected to do well every where, to help with down ballot races.

As an extreme example, HRC 2016 was criticized for running up her margin in "safe" areas. But that's expected (demanded) of national (and statewide) candidates by the locals.

I still don't understand what your point is. The reason they don't want easy file cards is that corruption is most common when there is a centralized benefit and decentralized cost, because then the kleptocrats will spend more resources to make things that way than the average person will to prevent it. For audits it's the opposite, because for most people there is negligible benefit but it's a major cost to innocent people who are subject to an audit, so you get real opposition to them. That's the politics of it, but what does that have anything to do with what the best policy is?
> This is a very privileged and perhaps even ignorant view to take.

I'll spare myself the obvious retort. Not everyone has the privilege of starting an armed revolution and succeed, or simply survive. Not everyone who does is guaranteed to be in the right (for example the US states that tried to secede). And the outcome can be complete destruction for yourself, for your city and your region, and hundreds of thousands of deaths and millions displaced and homeless- many of whom couldn't care less about your "revolution".

Do I condemn armed resistance? No. Of course not, sometimes it is inevitable. But the idea that you should distribute firearms to people just in case somebody one day decides he's fed up and wants to start shooting other people for freedom, or for white supremacy, or- why not- for a religious caliphate- that is ridiculous.
That person needs ID to be assigned to their polling station to vouch for you. You’re being very stubborn.

Canada very effectively requires ID to vote, sorry that offends you.
depends what stage of distribution you catch "unappealing" fruit. if a peach gets bruised on the last mile of shipment to Walmart, it's probably not economic to juice it in the store or ship it back it.

also the supply of unattractive fruit probably exceeds demand for most kinds of fruit juice. most people I know only buy orange, apple, grape, or cranberry juice.

I do agree that comparing the US culture of gun ownership + the second amendment (which, although may have been written as though to apply to all people regardless of national identity... doesn't) to the situation going on in Hong Kong is incredibly shortsighted and demonstrates a lack of understanding in cultural differences.

My point on the "few thousand insurgents" is more specifically referring to Afghanistan, but I think both apply similarly: that the US has been unable to contain and combat relatively small insurgency movements via direct action, be that boots on the ground or through mechanized warfare. I think if a similar insurgency happened here in America, if say a percent or even less than a percent of Americans engaged in sympathetic action, that it would be nigh impossible to contain given our military's past performance against similar combatants, not even taking into account the nuances of fighting one's own citizenship and the likelihood of disobedience among the state.

Arguments that a scenario could be contained at local, civic levels are valid, but a full-scale conflict between citizens and military would be catastrophic not only for the population but for the administration as well (who wants to blow up all the infrastructure they've built?). The state has a vested interest in not provoking this scenario, which is why I imply the second amendment is important and alive in the US even today although the tides have changed.

In regards to HK, a previous comment above mentioned they have a much more comprehensive "bottom-up" structure of monitoring and enforcing compliance with their citizens. Even if they had a theoretical second amendment, they can still initiate a massive crackdown and have the infrastructure to contain and control their citizenship. Which is frankly terrifying, of course, but the solution isn't necessarily just "give the citizens guns", nor would this ever work on a cultural level.

China does actually have the resources and is in a position to contain civic revolt in nearly all cases, from my point of view. This is vastly different to America, and can't really be easily compared.
The problem with the "salary bump" is that it is usually a "salary leveling". You were slightly underpaid because you're at a startup so the bump is to a market rate. Or, even if you were at a market rate, you may have been with the startup long enough that you could get that bump just by leaving. So in the end they're not offering you anything you couldn't get by going to many other employers.

So it's not bad per say, but it's not valuable at all. Even though it's being sold to you as such.
That is related to the funding in silicon valley. So many people who want to do startups in europe move to silicon valley.

Also, if you're working with an untyped APIs, define the types you're using. It doesn't have to be complete or perfect. But having that formal contract will save you time and make explicit your assumptions. In the best case, you can contribute those types to the API to everyone's benefit.
There is a curious paradox here: Because American Samoans aren't legally self-determining, they're unable to become legally self-determining. We have to interpret their desires for them, and we have to resist the urge to allow them to be less-than-citizens or to have diminished rights.

This is a really good article. It touches on the global denial, the gross generational inequality of the status quo, and acknowledges the personal mental health difficulty in trying to accept what the human race has done.

It's also pragmatic and talks about what's being done. Very worthwhile reading in its entirety.
I grew up playing the Exile series on shareware, then I migrated to Avernum. I have yet to find any series of games that I can get more value out of. The sheer depth in the games Spiderweb software puts out is why I'll buy pretty much everything they make. If I had to pick a gaming hill to die on this developer would be it. The graphics do their job. Could they be flashier? Sure, whatever. Aside from the Elder Scrolls series I can't think of a game that even comes close in time to finish and the sheer amount of replayability. Nothing in the game is a grind. There's always something do do while you're collecting gear, etc.

Estonia is certainly performing well. But since it's so tiny it's really hard to compare against a giant like USA. Although much of the same problem applies to Nordics.

We use Google, Facebook, Youtube, Snapchat, Whatsapp, Apple - all American products. Whereas the Nordic countries produce very few major digital innovations used globally.

Also, I didn't know Estonia was a Nordic country.
a popular vote presidency would be a disaster for the US, the illusion that votes matter would be completely destroyed at that level.

This is completely false. Having a popular vote would at least adequately represent, mathematically, the demographics of the US citizenry and what they want in a candidate. Now, FPTP is not the greatest voting scheme, I would prefer some sort of rank choice voting, but at least you would get a statistical representation of the populace with FPTP.

The electoral college is such an antiquated, outdated system that only favors fringe views.

Most of which are Parliamentary systems which are very similar structurally.

In those cases, you don't directly elect a Prime Minister either. You elect an MP in little winner-take-all elections and then the party (or coalition) gets together and elect the PM from their own ranks.

It's not quite 1:1 with an Electoral College but it's not direct democracy either.

Which countries are direct democracies?

Good pixel artists aim for the peaks of mid-90s arcade, the Saturn, PS1, and GBA. With a proper monitor/TV and cables (or just the GBA), you were looking at sharp pixels and vivid colors.

Most (not all) people going for NES-inspired graphics are just amateur artists who try passing off their lack of skill for “retro style”. And frankly, it can work. Amateur artists can make good low res art.

The real problem is people who just draw on a small canvas and call it pixel art. They lack the fine details.
I would likely use this depending on how transparent it was and the pricing and if it supported RLS etc. I was writing a rust project on a terrible old laptop that took 2-5 minutes for compilation time. I ended up standing up a Digital Ocean instance and used VScode (via Coder https://github.com/cdr/code-server ). And this ended up being the most workable solution. Cut down my compilation times significantly and also helped w/ VScode RAM usage.

Not sure how the buisness model for a cloud compiler would work, but I would be interested.

It has been a long time since I played his games but I always really enjoyed the original exile games.

> But I also get the arguments of people that say that without the electoral college, there is zero incentive for politicians to campaign in or pay attention to the interests of people in lightly-populated area.

This is a lie probably told to you by a high school teacher who never really thought about it, and clearly you haven't either.

If the electoral college empowers lightly populated areas, how come no Presidential Candidate has ever gone stumping for those sweet sweet Wyoming voters?

Because it doesn't empower small states. It doesn't empower big states. It empowers closely contested states.

The electoral college makes no sense, it was not designed this way, the designers tried to get rid of it after they saw how it was being abused.

It's non-democratic, nonsensical, and there has been ~75% support for abolishing it for over 100 years but politicians have been holding off because it makes elections easier for them to fight because it lets them ignore most of the voters.
