Some of the best mutton I ever head were curries in India, fresh from a farm in NZ, Ireland or Iceland and from those road side bbq places in Tunesia.

Since we love it, we have it quite often at home, either as minced meat (sometimes mixed with beef) for all kinds of stuff or from tje bbq. Since mutton is not such a common thing for Germans, if you want good one, you have to get from Turkish butchers.

I didn’t write the very first post we’re all commenting on, but I think the objection to vagueness is in that very first post. “My point is that ‘modern’ can sometimes be a vague and overused term. Instead of relying on this label, it's more informative to understand what specific technologies, practices, or improvements a project brings to the table.”

I don't have any stats to bring up to decisively say one way or another, but people express discontent about modern JS framework churn, yearning for server-side templates solutions of old and other complaints about "modern" software. That might or might not be misguided, but it exists.
Then that says even worse things about priorities, if someone working there can't find anyone to provide one of each GPU.

Why not? I think that having a testing framework for a "language" that forces you to have another "language" to be able to test is a pain.

Example: let's imagine that to test PHP you had to have Java installed.

The people who would be shareholders are ones that would also be a lot more worried about crime in general.

These people are also more usually on the side of cops. Especially when it comes to “rioting”. The events of 2020 has allowed for a new boogeyman to be used in these decisions and it basically softens the impact.

And those stores are in cities with extremely lax policies towards theft.

It's a Hashicorp Terraform fork.

Hashicorp started playing license games. So a bunch of the people and orgs that depend on Terraform took out insurance against future license changes by forking and instituting an open license version that no one can close (or, for that matter, ensure no one pulls a Unity).

The fun thing is this: if people like you keep denying this is a real thing until this becomes official policy, it would be too late for the people of Taiwan to object to it.

Another win for the US again! "The most effective lie is the one with a kernel of truth" indeed.

The US does a lot of stupid things, it doesn't make it unreal. This policy isn't even half stupid as long as you can deny it long enough to make it happen. I might even say it's smart to deny it on the surface but actually continuing to make the threat credible. Well done.
I'm not sure I'm following the preamble about the nuances of a slice with a zero capacity allocating a new backing array, given the fact that if I follow the link to the docs and then to the source, the implementation is exactly how I would have expected it to be done: append(S([]E{}), s...) - which of course is different and would make the preamble redundant.

False dichotomy + poorly statistically worded.

The proper question is always "Would society be better off at the margin with more automation". The answer someday may well be "No, because many people are already unemployed, and this will exacerbate that even further", but there's no reason to add that clause to the question.

Eh, you can, just not easily at point of sale. You can give credits/rebates (either to all in the form of a UBI, or targeted by income) to offset the amount people will pay in VAT, or you can have different rates for e.g. "essentials" vs luxuries. See https://www.oecd.org/tax/reassessing-the-regressivity-of-the... - lots of countries that have implemented VATs are able to make them somewhat progressive.

Wish we'd just bite the bullet and move towards a land value tax though.

correct answer. boggles my mind how much nutrient lobbying goes on in the world....from demonising certain nutrients, to pumping others up. I grew up eating everything, trying everything, in a multicultural area...its quite odd for me not to have tasted something.

My main concern with Deno and Bun
Deno is an alternative server runtime for JavaScript. I like its standard library, commitment to browser standards and I'm excited about the recent Jupyter support. Super cool stuff.

But I won't write servers in Deno and put them to production in my own servers. (I don't like serverless)

You see, Deno(and Bun)'s business model is built around serverless (Deno deploy). And Deno deploy is ANOTHER runtime.

This means you're self hosting a version of Deno that's different from the majority of the Deno customer base.

Will the Deno open-source runtime receive the same love as Deno deploy runtime? even if Deno Deploy is the actual source of money? really?

How many people will use Deno to run servers on their own hardware? if that number is low, then I'd rather use Node.

P.S: Bun will probably be in the same boat (see https://oven.sh/). Deno already launched Deno deploy, so they're getting the attention here.

The scale of incarceration is still unprecedented. A reduction by 27 percent doesn't change that. Imprisonment was an extremely rare phenomenon for much of history (as was police, for that matter). Today's incarceration rates would have to be reduced by 99+% in order to reach pre-modern levels, where large cities often had only a handful of cells in total, and rural areas had none at all.

> I want a drag and drop solution to create this magnificent piece of work, to feel good about myself. I need go start bringing in money, and this stuff is all I can bring myself to do

These two statements are a bit contradictory, it might help to untangle this a bit first before delving into specific tools you might use.

Is there a dire need for money or just not a lot to spend on building? Do you have enough runway to work on something where the primary goal is feelings of improvement, accomplishment, and self-confidence? Being a freelancer or trying to turn a project into a sustainable income is a grind and seriously taxes the emotions.

There are a lot of drag-n-drop tools out there, and a lot of nuance too. The choice will depend on what you are after... a website, an app*, the tools the more artistic types in tech use (think designers / UX more than coding / building websites)

*building a real app is pretty hard in no/low-code solutions. There's always a gap that requires real code to fill

Yeah, I relate and got an ADHD (inattentive) diagnosis some years ago, though wasn't able to take meds. This kind of really wired manic phase descends on me sometimes and it's usually quite brief (two weeks) but I have come to resent it rather than enjoy it as the burnout after is always terrible.
I think it's the other way around.

Much of my early computer education was learned because I wanted to play games and my parents didn't know how to make them work. Making boot disks, etc. was a big part of my early exposure to computers.

I played a lot of original Sim city, among other things, and organically over time I had devised , as a kid, a whole elaborate saving and naming system for my cities that involved versions and forking. Later, as an engineer in regulated industries, I've realized that what I built as a kid was a (nearly) ISO compliant revision and document management system.

Factorio is fine.

I'm worried about first person shooters, I think games where there is less intellectual aspect to them and more twitch reactive reflex stuff there is the less "good" it is for the players soul, and development.
>It's not clear to me why 'value added' needs to be taxed in the first place, as opposed to business profits or dividends.

I don't have a firm opinion either way, but I noticed few things that work in favour of VAT in minds of lawmakers.

First, the budgetary income from VAT is huge(a lot more than all other taxes combined) . I remember when my country established VAT for the first time. The budget went from around 33bln a year before to 83bln 2 years after. Also such increase in income made even more money available as foreign loans. This makes me think 90% of infrastructure built in last 30 years would probably not happen without it(there was a lot built, a big chunk was financed with EU subsidies, but local funds of some 20%~50% were required and of course having VAT was a condition of EU's membership).

Second. Lawmakers see VAT as something companies can't scam so easily (despite there being huge frauds in many countries). For example with income tax there is always an option to inflate expenses to minimize profits on paper. With dividends, a business doesn't have to pay them, benefits can be given in many different ways each requiring it's own detailed water tight description in relevant laws. Special measures for R&D are granted, special tax zones for disadvantaged areas etc. . Vat is seen as complex, but tax on business income is IMO a lot more complex. Still most countries have both business income and company dividend taxes.

Finally. If it is true as it appears that consumers pay the bulk of vat. This tax can be used to shape consumption. For example here we have 0% vat rate on children clothes, 3% on some food items, 8% on building materials if you're building a home for yourself, but 23% for developers. Anything that gives more control to lawmakers will be seen as favorable.

So in summary, does VAT need to be in place? I don't know, but I can definitely see a lot of forces pushing to keep it in place for the above reasons.
Navigating without a map or with a paper map is a basic skill somewhat smart and civilized people should have. Also a passive map on a screen would be intellectually OK, but the usability sucks in many cases, especially on phones.

Their source could be your source, which you seem to be very seriously misreading.

> As the global population grew 21 per cent, between 2000 and 2019, the number of prisoners worldwide jumped by more than 25 per cent, according to the UNODC data.

So, worldwide trend is upward.

> While Northern America, Sub-Saharan Africa and Eastern Europe have experienced a long-term decrease in imprisonment rates of up to 27 per cent, other regions and countries, such as Latin America, Australia and New Zealand, have seen up to 68 per cent growth over the last two decades, the study revealed.

So apparently your definition of “western countries” includes sub-Saharan Africa but excludes most of Europe and all of Australia and New Zealand?

Overall your own source supports their point and contradicts your own.

This is a long article (or, collection of ads) talking a lot about subs for the Royal Navy, and very little about why a sub being at sea for 6 months is irresponsible. Vague claims of vitamin D deficiency, anecdotal evidence of sailor’s standards dropping, and vague mentions of “hard drugs”. But no hard hitting, evidence based reasoning.

I’m not saying subs should be at sea for 6 months, but this article did very little to say why they shouldn’t.
