    Programming is freer, faster, more shared, and has more corporate sponsorship than ever before. You think it was always this easy to find high quality docs and packages written by …

    The estimated innocent population is around 9%. A far cry from the majority. This is just populist trash. Now if you want to make a majority claim about those incarcerated being in…

    Seems reasonable, but maybe not exactly a weapon. It is used to subdue someone, but not as a threat. Should be a parallel class. And while the intended assault is a sexual assault,…

    Reform is needed, yes, but this is a stupid comment. By your own argument 75% of SNAP is spent on normal food, mostly by people who need it

    GDP is a meaningless measure for all but governments and the very elite. How about some metrics on issue that led to Brexit?

    This. Don’t be so sensitive, just say to call you. I took my daughter to appointments and as soon as I started asking meaningful questions, doctors immediately switched to assuming…

    Standard engineering. You fix the thing that breaks the system first. Fix that, the next bug appears. Rinse, repeat. You don’t think we have been doing this already? Car safety imp…

    Most other things pay a lot less or require many years of expensive schooling

    This it how it used to me. We had a War Department. Rebranding to Defense was a PR move to hide what was really happening. This is a good thing as it’s far more truthful.

    No doubt you mean well. In some cases it’s obvious- low memory machine can’t handle some docket setup, etc. In reality, you can’t even predict time to project completion accurately…

    You can do both, in that you can have a system where if you make less than X, you don’t pay VAT on certain things, or less. California is now doing this for electric car rebates. O…

    Food control is easy but we don’t actually want it. 1. Prohibit large companies from using their size to negotiate prices, like how it used to be 2. Stop farm subsidies for all but…

    I haven’t seen this. There are more smaller companies than larger ones. At my company, as a manager, I encourage the use of AI because it appears to make developers about 10% more …
