@QasimRashid where are they gonna go? A lot of other places have high taxes on the wealthy, and... Honestly... If they leave then revoke their citizenship and ban them from travel here.
Fuck the rich. 90% tax over $1 Million annual income, and that's pretty conservative. Id love to see any of them complaining that a million bucks a year isn't reasonable compensation to a populace where 50% of people make less than $65k a year.
You know, I don't use this platform enough... I should...
Here's some #photography I've done over the last few months...
WIP making my first game. A "snake" clone. Working on the title logo and menu stuff.
I have massive ambition, but I have to start somewhere. Currently I have an intro and menu functionality finished. The game will be "snake" but very fast paced, where each eaten object lengthens you and speeds you up, and after x number of eaten things, an exit to the next level opens. I have designed about 15 "levels", and I plan on having the goal to be just high score.
I currently have an 8 core, 3ghz machine with 32 GB ram and several text editors I have run on it feel sluggish and laggy. This has gotten insane.
My focus is going to be on efficiency of code. One of my test goals will be to have a raspberry pi zero run my software with zero lag and to boot my os in seconds.
This is unacceptable. Every platform should include a built in C compiler, a built in scripting language and a language that a fucking 8 year old can learn. I was learning to read by reading programming books.
Further, the inefficiency of software now is unacceptable. A text editor today can eat hundreds of mb of ram before it even loads my 10 kb file, and then it's laggy and slow when I type. This is bad. I had a 166 mhz machine in 1996, and it could render text as fast as I could type it.
Furthermore, these ongoing issues have prompted system devs and programmers alike to constantly find and implement new "solutions" to the inherent problems that just add more and more complexity and make programming more and more difficult every year.
I started programming as a child in BASIC on a TRS80. All i had to do was turn the computer on and start typing. The other day it took me three fucking hours to set up a fucking build environment in C - the fucking bedrock language...
The basic concept of the entire project is to demonstrate the flaws in the way most platforms operate. They are all too insecure by design and they all allow programmers to do FAR too much in userspace. An operating system's sole focus should be to empower the user first. Userland developers have been given far too much power. These issues have been apparent since the mid 90s, and yet nothing was ever done to fix the obvious issues in system design...
I have barely used this app, but I want to start logging my progress now that I have decided to do this crap...
I will be writing an OS that will be very very specifically targeting lower-end hardware. I will be writing it in C and ASM, and I will be writing a new C stdlib designed specifically to engage with it. This stdlib will likely be 60% familiar, but 40% incompatible with the old standard, and there will be a few additional headers to address inadequacies in the current standards.
