Not sure if you actually meant logarithmic or exponential. An exponential tax rate would mean that the more you own the next unit of value would be a lot more in tax, while a logarithmic tax rate would mean that the more you own the next unit of value would be a lot less in tax. See x² versus log₂(x) (or any logarithm base, really). The exponential (x²) would start slow and then increase fast, and the logarithmic one would start increasing fast and then go into increasing slowly.

You say uTorrent, I say µTorrent. We are not the same ;P

EDIT: I get µ from [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [m] (or [Alt Gr] + [m]), in case someone wants to be able to do it easily themselves. It might be different on your keyboard…

Also writing documentation in-code like JavaDoc or equivalents has always seemed great for me. Then you can have your toolchain generate the written documentation directly from that, and it can be updated easily based on what’s actually documented in the code (but that does require that people keep that updated)

c/whoosh ?

Awooooo!

Just hook your watercooling up to the AC system. No more sounds from your PC ;P

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bïtch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Just thought you’d enjoy learning that it’s laissez faire. It’s French, so obviously it’s hard to spell.

Hmmmm, that sounds very much like eugenics. Which generally hasn’t been fronted by any free societies. Might wanna rethink your comment.

Not like it’s hard to make such a mistake.

“White pizza” using sour cream as the sauce/base is pretty good.

palette

Just thought I’d point out that I don’t think you meant palette, but palate. If you did in fact mean “palette” I apologize for my intrusion.

A lot of things are this way in English, if you haven’t read the word in the correct context enough it’s hard to write it the right way, and if you haven’t heard it in the right context it can be hard to pronounce it right.

I’m sure we can make you a 3D version of yourself soon enough

Aight, then it’s visual based on the instance, I guess. Which I would say isn’t useful at all, it’s the Scunthorpe problem and euphemism treadmill (see people saying corn, unalive, et cetera). Oh well…

Well, I can only see “removed” instead of whatever you were trying to convey.

Changing it to “removed” instead just drives the euphemism treadmill faster, people will find ways to say the same without those specific words. Whether something is a slur is also very context-dependent. Something computers as of yet aren’t well equipped to handle.

I thought it was Non-Fungible Articles and Decentralised Federated Articles

It’s all ASCII art, but it runs like shit ;P More seriously; what constitutes beautiful code is very open to interpretation. Someone would say that a single line of list comprehension expression is beautiful while another would say the same thing expressed over several lines making the logic abundantly clear is beautiful.

Just thought I’d point out that you probably meant “scraping the barrel” as in scraping the last dregs out of it instead of “scrapping” as in discard or remove from service
