As someone mentioned below you could also use OpenWatcom, if for no other reason than it should have a slightly better optimizer (though from my tests i haven't seen much of a difference between the two, at least for code i tried to optimize a lot myself). AFAIK one of the OWv2 contributors is working on a 16bit OS so the 16bit support should be excellent.

OWv2 is also available as a Linux binary so you could use it for crosscompiling in a similar way to GCC.
OK - I see a little more now. The red influx is some measure of deficit spending.
Thanks - that's going on my bookmarked links.
They do exist.

I use

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/optparse-applicative for small cli apps

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/envparse For any Docker microservice

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/aeson-1.4.5.0/docs/Data-A... For all JSON work. Sometimes I’ll use it with lenses which is massively powerful but a rabbit hole

I’ll use http://hackage.haskell.org/package/stm when dealing with parallel execution

https://github.com/brendanhay/amazonka For anything dealing with AWS

https://github.com/haskell-works?tab=repositories Projects for Kafka and avro

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/warp For trivial micro services or Scotty if more than a few endpoints

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/persistent For dealing with Postgres

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/parsec For dealing with any text parsing.

The tools are available, they can make things like cli apps and micro services trivial. However if you have never used a ML language before you will have a steep learning curve as very different to C style/based languages.

I was once of the opinion Haskell is academic, what can you use it for in the real world. Then I studied with it, played with it admittedly on and off over 1-2 years, hit hurdles where I had to think as so different to what I’ve learnt before. Eventually it clicked, it’s very hard and frustrating now in my day job using typical enterprise or popular languages. It’s not about convincing, it’s about having a open mind and wanting to learn something different

While using the open API spec is good, I'd say the standardisation of CSV data will have more impact. More of the open data available is in the form of historic reports rather than real-time: https://data.gov.uk/ (e.g. https://data.gov.uk/dataset/27dd8d7f-c58b-4de3-bf0d-81058465...)

Seems low. That office was formerly known as the Welsh Office. I'm not sure how it separates from or overlaps with the Welsh Assembly, who don't have tax raising powers like Scotland. Presumably spends on a number of Welsh schemes, infrastructure, projects, roads etc.
I've tried watching him a few times and got the same feeling. He also goes to great lengths to remind everyone (all the time) of how much money he makes. Is that normal for people in Silicon Valley?

>Architecture is extremely sensitive to the initial choices due to isolation of side effects.

This is fundamentally why it's useless in practice. It requires you to anticipate/predict everything ahead of implementation.

It requires you to be perfect at Waterfall ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterfall_model ).

Real-world problems laugh at such idealism.

Check != Cashier's check

The former is what you're describing. The latter is where the bank takes the funds from you then itself guarantees the piece of paper. Much more like an arbitrarily denominated bit of cash often used in large transactions in the States when (1) a seller doesn't trust the buyer too much or (2) the seller wants the funds to clear more quickly.

Also, regular checks are great. There's something about having to physically take time to spend money via a goofy little ritual that makes it easier to save the stuff.
It's staggering to me that £46 billion goes to HM Revenue and Customs. So it costs £46 billion to administer £506 billion in tax revenue! That's almost 1/3 the budget of the entire NHS!

That doesn't seem like a good ROI at all. A product of an over-complicated tax system?
And those regexes are the first part of an awk script or something similar which will save time when you want to do this repeatedly.

And when your awk script grows into something that doesn’t produce the final output, but has to be run in another interpreter first in order to produce the final result, then you created your custom language.

I didn't vote leave because of the money.

I voted leave because I was dubious about the control the elected and unelected officials and secretaries in brussels had over British politics, and the rats nest of well paid jobs with crazy benefits waiting for british politicians in brussels when they retire from british politics, so long as they play nice with the EU and go along with the will of the government in Brussels.

The "NHS bus" is a talking point very aggressively focused on by the remain campaign because it's an easy thing to point at as disingenuous, But I feel like there's a lot more nuance to the choice to leave the EU than many "remainers" believe.

It's harmful to national discourse to narrow the argument for either side down to misinformation or this "they don't know what they're voting for" narrative (not saying you're asserting this, I've just seen it said a lot) because it chips away at the very concept of majority rule and proportional representation.
Calling it Box is confusing. unique_ptr would be an improvement for the name, or maybe HeapRef. The problem is exactly that rust chose a misleading name Box (boxed types are something entirely different in most languages) instead of the obvious C(++)/Java-like _ptr, ref, * or & notation/convention

I feel like I'm discussing climate change, where there are multiple perceptions of reality competing for attention.

Other people in this thread report that Schwab pays interest on checking account balances. Schwab's website clearly states that their checking account accrues interest. There's a footnote link there, but the fine print simply says that the rate can change over time.

https://www.schwab.com/public/schwab/banking_lending/checkin...

Of course, just as I don't understand people using a traditional bank these days, I likewise don't understand letting a large cash balance sit in checking account. The best interest rate you're going to see these day is probably sub-1%.

So why leave excess money sitting around in a checking account, when sweeping it into even a short-term U.S. bond fund would provide 2x-10x the return with no additional risk? (i.e. if U.S. Treasuries default, then money market accounts are probably screwed too anyway)
How do you feel about the unelected House of Lords? Or, for that matter, the election-untested Prime Minister and his definitely unelected SPADs?

The EU parliamentarians are paid well, but I think there's a staff quality issue here and that UK MPs are actually underpaid; for the hours and responsibility, it's basically a company director level job.

(Of course, the only people that take EU pay and deliberately do a bad job or fail to turn up are ... UKIP MEPs)

Edit: I missed your reference to "proportional representation", which of course we don't have in the UK parliament either. Which is why the government was able to be formed with only about 42% of votes, plus a veto of the 0.9% of DUP votes. We have a semi-proportional system for MEPs, though.
Aka a straw man.
That may include tax credits, don't assume it is just "administration" costs.
I wonder why this is being downvoted.

The War of Art is undoubtedly a self-help book, and so is How to Make Friends and Influence people. Both contain little more than trivial platitudes IMO. I have not read the other books, but from the abstracts it looks like several more can be considered self-help books.

I was hoping for hands-on books like "The Art of Electronics" by Horowitz & Hill or similar.

Generally, it works like this (IANAL): when the country one is working with has the necessary legislation regarding double taxation, the tax paid in the country one is working in, is deducted from the Polish tax. Most often, when people leave Poland to live and work in an EU country, they will pay full tax in the EU country they live in and have zero taxable income in Poland. This means one does not even have to file a tax return in Poland. When I left Poland in 2006, the legislation was not in place yet.

I think, can't remember exactly, the legislation was introduced in 2007, I never had to pay any taxes in Poland while working in other EU countries, I filed a zero tax return in Poland only once, as the taxes have been paid in the other EU country.

There are edge cases where one still falls under double taxation but they are regulated by respective country's tax treaties. Details in Polish: https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/work/taxes/double-taxa..., list of treaties per country: https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/individuals/personal-t....

I suspect one would learn appreciation of limited type systems from the other direction by using a typeless language.
Readability and familiarity are not the same but closely related. There is nothing inherently more or less readable in the rust or haskell tree example.

I think there is work on "readability", just in another context: Its called typography and orthography. And I think the gist of it is: Do it like everybody else does, first and foremost, strange and unfamiliar equals unreadable.

Until you’ve done Windows programming for a while, you may think that Win32 is just a library, like any other library, you’ll read the book and learn it and call it when you need to. You might think that basic programming, say, your expert C++ skills, are the 90% and all the APIs are the 10% fluff you can catch up on in a few weeks. To these people I humbly suggest: times have changed. The ratio has reversed.

I'm not sure what this number represents, assuming it is correct, but it is certainly not how much it costs to run HMRC.

Thanks for pointing my mistake. I have edited the question now.
That data looks incorrect. According to this, the HMRC budget is 4 billion.

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/hmrc-annual-repor...

Which also matches the 4 billion that the HMRC wikipedia page links to

https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20130127142016/ht...
No, look closer. The deficit is £55 billion. What I think you're confused about is that there's a £698bn allocation that seemingly magically feeds into a £702bn budget for department expenditures. However the £4bn difference comes from HM Treasury (it's quite a thin line at the bottom)
If you go back a year you can get some detail into what HM Revenue and Customs spends it's money on (90% of it is under the title 'social protection' which is child welfare and tax credits). The collection and enforcement looks like it costs 4 billion at most.

> for a defintion of work 99% of us use

For this definition MacOS, Windows and Linux all work just fine. I prefer to use a combo of MacOS + Linux because for ME Windows doesn't work, always gets in the way, not just the OS but all the software seems biased towards nagging and spamming and attention grabbing and doing stuff I never explicitly requested it to do instead of just sitting there and doing only what I want them to do.

For others even Chrome OS is good enough.

So mind your use case.

A lot of professionals do real work without touching ANY of what you'd call "office" software whatsoever! I'm not even sure what that "Outlook" thing some refer to even is to be honest. ...I DO use Microsoft Excell, but that's it, the rest of that software universe does not exist to me.
Yes, HMRC has 56,000 employees, so it's unlikely that's all or indeed mostly administrative costs.
KDE, it has good support for High-DPI and using it with two screens with different PPI ratios, like a 3k laptop display and large external 4k monitor. Gnome still only supports integer scaling (well fractional scaling is in beta but it's still very broken). I heard good things about Xfce as well.
Day one of hunting season is when the hunters enter the woods and start hunting. I’m not saying they migrate to safe places the day before.
(OP) I have two setups: a desktop which isn't Hi-DPI and a laptop which is. I like to keep the same thing running on both, and at the moment I use Cinnamon (which has been my go-to for a while now), although I've replaced a number of the default Cinnamon applications with MATE's equivalents (e.g., xreader to Atril because of xreader's weird behavior with left and right arrows not going through pages).

I've had some mind to change in the recent past. I don't really want to go to GNOME because I enjoy the traditional desktop model. MATE has some quirks I don't love and XFCE is still not great for scaling (though has gotten a lot better recently). KDE, meanwhile, might be promising, but I have a strong distaste for their default aesthetic (though I am sure I could change it to fit my needs more). I'll have to experiment in the near future.
It is a made up term that's not actually a thing; it refers to the people doing the kind of stuff that you'll find on IndieHackers website.

My understanding is that AirBnB were mainly flouting laws passed by local authorities which in a lot of places tend to be kind of toothless.

You have to be careful to distinguish what's going on here and who you are getting the IP addresses from.

When RIPE is out, the only way to get more addresses is by buying or renting them from somebody else who has a commercial interest to sell or rent you IP addresses or to control what you are doing with them.

With RIPE running out, there is no more way to get an IP address without asking a commercial third party for permission to be a part of the internet.

This will lead to a further centralization of the internet as the owners of big blocks will make sure that their blocks get even bigger so they can ask for rent for what was previously available for (mostly) free.

This isn't about saying that this is the end of the internet and the end of the ability for people to get on the internet, but it's definitely a huge change in landscape that we are going to feel as time goes on and we still refuse to go IPv6

Which makes sense considering that the exact same companies who would need to do something to get IPv6 going are also the same companies who have the most to gain from address scarcity.
I use all kind of applications, default KDE apps for file browsing etc. and many others that are Qt or GTK-based, they all look good to me. Only exception is Gimp, which is somehow broken due to the default "dark" theme (black text on black background...).
