I have a rule regarding what packages I allow myself to use. I must be able to re-write whatever functionality I’m using in the package. That way when it doesn’t work as expected, I either write my own, or debug their code.

RIP tuvix. Wrong call on that one. He deserved to live.

Does Biden actually want to take my truck? Like I never considered that.

Aww that’s sweet

For a better life, no baby

Ro Laren though

It’s in New York??? I thought it was a Detroit thing. Then why do we have Coney Island hot dogs??

If you save money for retirement you’re ideally selling gains off of that money. Like you have 500k invested in something safe like bonds, it’s making maybe 5% a year, so you live off of that 5% in early retirement and a bit more than that in late retirement. Then you have money leftover when you die, so your heirs can have it.

Thanks for the info, that makes perfect sense. Seems like a good idea to tax people making tons and tons of money at a high rate then!

USA neighbor here,

66% is insane, like if I saved up $500k to retire, I’d like to be selling some every year, like 5% (actually a little more but this is for easy numbers). That would get me $25,000 per year, then I’d pay capital gains tax on that and have about $20k left over. A modest retirement, could move to somewhere inexpensive and retire on that.

A 60% capital gains tax means I would have to save 1.5 million dollars to achieve that same retirement.

Boycotts don’t work against Walmart because many folks (their core demographic) have no choice but to shop there.

Meaningful legislation and regulation is the way forward.

What is skibidy

He’s not though, you should look into it

The day I learned that Linus shares my disdain for all things OOP was such a good day for me.

I did it by living well below my means for my first job.

What’s wrong with the foot?

Did you just stop reading there? I was saying those projects should have atomic architectures so that “rewrite small parts when needed” can happen

Boy do I ever disagree with this.

For big projects, with multiple people and man-years of work, sure. Don’t start from scratch. But in my humble opinion, those projects shouldn’t really exist. Instead they should be atomic, made up of small page-length units which individually can be scraped and rebuilt.

For small projects, rewriting is often superb. It allows us to reorganize a mess, apply new knowledge, add neat features and doodads, etc.
