Wages have shot up like crazy over the past few years. But the FTC has not enforced antitrust regulations over the past 30 years which led to everything being owned by megacorps with no competition - so we're getting the screws turned on us right now. The FTC is finally engaging in some antitrust measures, but it is too little, too late. It's kind of hard to blame that on the current regime.

Most oil and gas subsidies come in the form of tax writeoffs for tangible assets like well casing. Of course there are also dickhead governors who give tax abatements to megaprojects.

Yeah but how is the experience? While I'm not a fan of MacOS the polish and integration with the hardware is excellent. Hmm... I may need to see if I can dual boot this machine and check it out myself.

The best time to kill all capitalists was 50 years ago. The second best time is today. Oh I'm not on hexbear sorry.

OK - let's ignore the shitshow of responding to OP's hot take.

What kind of research is this particular reactor going to do?

Only so many people want to hear him talk.

Why do actual work when you can collect overtime by hanging out at a crime scene with your buddies for an hour or two?

I believe you would need to contact the district attorney for that.

OK - you're right that the entire role of the police is to protect the propertied interests of this world.

However, that is accomplished through the systemic abuse of race as well as class. The people who choose to become police are filtered by a determination to enforce policies which are at their core racist. Even the police who are themselves non-white are often the most violent against other non-white citizens.

Well... that is kind of their job. They can only find the pieces and it is up to the judicial system to establish guilt.

Unless you want to live in the world of Judge Dredd.

How about we only have some capitalism. Let's only allow less slavery and habitat destruction in exchange for us all to be subservient to billionaires.

Oh thank god. We don't have to worry about deforestation anymore? Phew. Thanks, tank of algae.

When I originally typed it, I made a function for string reversal and called that. But I didn't include it since I didn't want to define that too.

Honestly... this wiki has a seriously difficult path ahead of it. I mean - it'd be fantastic if it did simplify things like that to let you write simple, elegant, and easy to read functions while linking to other functions.

But it'd also have to lint those and make sure that contributors don't implement recursive dependencies.

No, the really scary thing is that AI will be able to parse through already-generated historical data and link you to everything you've ever done on the internet.

There was an entire season on South Park about that

I think you're absolutely correct about them choosing those awful identifiers so the functions are not language specific. It just hurts to read and thoroughly makes it harder to understand because my brain doesn't tokenize "Z10096" and "Z10096K1".

Neat. I don't like that the implementations have to name the function by some cryptic identifier, though. Real words matter in source code.

Who can tell me what this function is?

        def Z10096(Z10096K1):
        return Z10096K1 == Z10096K1[::-1]


  

How about this?

        def isPalimdrone(myString):
        return myString == myString[::-1]
  

Normally I would retort "But we paid money for it - so they need to support it". However I got my Win10 license by upgrading an XP machine to 7, then to 10. So I guess I didn't pay for it. My other Win10 machine was originally an OEM Win7 license.

But whatever. When they rugpull Win10 I will just complete move to Linux. The only thing holding me back is some industrial software that I use for work and they're in the process of multi-platform support.

I was looking to find the mangled remains of a cycle embedded in the turf just off the side of one of those images.
