I'm asking someone who is more knowledgeable than me on this topic. What would happen if you replace all (most) tax with VAT?

That would mean everywhere there is a real transaction, that generates greater value, that is where the tax is. It would also make it impossible for big companies to do tax evasion - since you limit the effects to the 'leaves' of the tree that is the economic system, you can catch the money before it escapes put the company 'tree' structure, out of the reach of the state.

Super cool! After finding Clojure I have been missing CSP in JS.

If someone reads this article, and finds it interesting, I can recommend you to try it out in Clojurescript. Doing concurrency with CSP in combination with the immutable data structures in Clojurescript is actually cool. It allows you freedoms in your programming that I did not even think possible before. With it, a mediocre programmer like me (although trying my best to always learn) can be productive, and make things that otherwise would require a team.

And it still runs faster than React (with Reagent for UI).

If you are curious, try out coding front ends with

* Figwheel * Reagent * core.async

Happy hacking :)

Flamewar in the comments here... Just throwing in my 2c.

I've been programming Clojure on the side for about a year now. It all started when I did the exercises in the Clojure for the Brave and True-book, and also simultaneously picked up Emacs and Cider (a nice IDE indeed, and keyboard-based).

Clj is just code like anything else. Anything you can do in Clojure you can do in Java. But with that language, I find myself creating things which I could not in other languages. Solutions come easier. Programs don't become long, but they get a lot done, and are performant.

I dig it, and really recommend it to anyone who is bored with their day job.

Is there any good Java IDE for emacs?

Is there a way to see these videos without getting spam?

They already know. When they catch people, they have ways to make people tell them anything.

You're thinking of flattr, I think

I'm living in Germany, and bought the 50-pack of Joylent. Was disappointed.

Apparently it's not the same ingredients as the US originals. It made me fart a lot. Saved 30min/day for lunch at work though, which is nice. I finished my batch, but did not get new. If a mix based on the 'real' recipe was available, and cheaper than a cheap meal (einen Falafel in Durum, bitte. Pikanter soße) I'd be all up in that stuff.

This is why they should have kept the lisp codebase

And on it goes, the EU 'protecting' up from voluntary services... They protect the tech scene so well there are hardly any great software companies, even though the EU is (or among) the richest areas in the world, and full of technical know-how!

Thank you politicians :D

So don't study it then? It's perfectly fine to continue using what you are using. Most recruiters talking to me still ask for Angular, even if I consider it a little hairy and prefer not using it.

After being in the JS sphere for a while and living with these changes, I have learned a lot. Because there is nothing new under the sun, these all do pretty much the same thing - but in different ways. There are tradeoffs, and by working with and making big and small products in different frameworks, I've learned how to learn. Picking up new things are not always needed, but the more you expose yourself to different libs, frameworks and platforms, the better you get at it.

Well, it is an article about a specific subset of the population, namely men...
