I dunno what you are trying to prove. I haven't been rude.
Why do I have to demonstrate anything? I've made my argument and nobody has refuted anything I've said. They've just kept on with their post-hoc rationalisations. Tell me why it is okay to take from those that do work…
Spot on. Doom Eternal while it works pretty well does have significant artifacts in some levels. There is also some weird bugs that don't exist on Windows and significant performance drops (game goes into single digit…
> Just admit that your idea of good politics is putting people out in the street and let them figure it all out. Apart from that, we're probably on the same page. When people like yourself start putting words into my…
> Neither does getting money without labour mean that a UBI is wrong in principle. Yes it is. Because they are taking wealth from people who do work. Everyone sidesteps this and tries to justify it as being virtuous by…
> Those who work wouldn't necessarily be taxed, so they don't need to support those unable or unwilling to work. We all know that those who work will be taxed more highly as that is the simplest way. It will have to be…
I love how people can post-rationalise that right is wrong. It is very clever, but you are being dishonest with yourself. It is simply wrong to take from others who work to those who cannot be bothered to work.…
They can find another job, they can start their own business, they can get contracts for their labour, if they are talented they can get patrons. There are alternatives, just because you have fallen for the siren song…
> You aren't seeing the forest for the trees. That bit of welfare going to people who maybe don't deserve it? It's nothing compared to the money that goes to corporations to keep people working in jobs that make no…
> We should bare the burden together. No. I am fed up of this pathological altruism. They should be looking for employment. End of discussion.
I don't see it that way though. I have many relatives that are government scroungers. Some of them are criminals. These people just don't want to work and will do anything they can to not work. No amount of coaching…
That is wrong as well. Just because huge amounts of money is spent somewhere else, it suddenly doesn't make it okay to give money away to those that are unwilling to work. In short: two wrongs don't make a right.
As I said previously it is a matter of principle. UBI takes from those willing to work and gives to those that are unwilling. I am not talking about people that are unable to work. I don't care if someone or some…
> It's also wrong to maintain a poorly working system just to prevent that scenario. I agree. But that still doesn't mean you have a right to take from those (through the form of taxes) to give to those that are…
No. It is wrong to take from those who want to work to give to those that don't want to. I already pay almost good portion of my earnings to the government to see it squandered on nonsense (e.g. look up the HS2 project…
I would just use another payment provider. If they don't want your business go somewhere else. It sucks but there isn't much you can do really.
Some places are super locked down when it comes to what software you can install. For example it took me a month to have pandoc, vim and a few other tools (GNU Tree) and a few other pieces of software installed by IT…
I assume if the PC isn't mine e.g. machine provided by employer, or the box isn't mine (router from ISP) It is probably has telemetry of some sort. I also expect device s like a phone/pager etc from an employer to be…
While retro-brighting does make it look nice, it can make the plastic brittle. Also on some old computers (Atari STs) you can damage the look permanently if you use even slightly the wrong solution (many people use the…
You can do this with just the serial port and a USB to serial converter with something like a RPi that will emulate a modem for you. http://podsix.org/articles/pimodem/ However that can be replaced with a plipbox (I…
I've been using XMing for years (there are probably better options out there but it works for me) and there is of course vcxsrv as other people have mentioned. It looks nice and all, but there are plenty of free options…
If one searches around youtube there is quite a lot of films reels people have uploaded show the devices in action. e.g. This is a fire control mechanism for ships. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1i-dnAH9Y4 Very…
Also can't script the client, you can't run your own server. Also with MIRC IIRC correctly you could layout the chat windows pretty much anyway you wanted and even have like a desktop background. Discord is a lot easier…
IRC is still used massively. It is a relic of the days before corporations took the internet. When it was was still fun. TBH Discord is the closest modern equivalent and the only thing that discord really does better is…
Yes. For a lot of smaller (web) applications where it is obvious if it isn't working correctly it just become a time sink. Everything in engineering is a set of trade-offs. With regards to TDD specifically. It isn't for…
