The USD is backed by 11 nuclear aircraft carriers, 68+ nuclear submarines, 8725+ tanks, 1,359,685+ military service members, a police force and one IRS that makes damn sure taxes are paid in USD or "damn would be a shame if the governe

It's great the author has found success and carved out a niche. However it's quiet a stretch for them to speak as an authority, to assert truisms about video games. Several other commentators have great counter examples. From memo

FWIW Shopify used nix-shell for the developer environment. If all they need to do is import standard packages - it's actually quiet a good solution for multi-platform dev environments.

Yeah. We've used it on servers. It's good in a small setting where a handful of Nix experts can run the infrastructure show. Getting it to scale to an organisation of hundreds wasn't feasible. As soon as we needed to start ex

The Japanese stock market is so completely different from the West - you can draw no applicable conclusions.

Google has net income of almost $30.7 billion and payed only $4.2 billion in tax. If they gave all 2,300 cafeteria workers a raise of $25,000 that would reduce their net income from $30.7 billion to $30.64 billion. Google has become a socia
