>Even in the US most vehicles larger than a minivan are manual transmission.

I beg to differ, the best selling automobile is an F-150. Which hasn't offered a manual since ~2009 and only in a v6 (v8 trucks are more popular in this class anyway).

The top 3 autos in the US are all trucks.[1] The next up is the Camry which doesn't offer a manual.

Not to mention many car manufacturers are switching to CVT transmissions for their base models. Audi even uses them along with GM, Honda, Nissan etc.

Its hard to even find new BMWs with manuals. Have a friend with a manual x3 and the dealer said its one of the only ones in the US.

These Quora responses indicate it's more of a price issue in Europe than a preference. Most auto's are about $2000 more with a manual.[2]

Endorphins[1] are produced upon exercise. Also for those who do sports like racing, skiing, etc. There's the 'adrenaline rush' which leaves you an amazing feeling (sometimes literally goosebumps) when you successfully do something dangerous. I get this feeling when racing on the track and snowboarding.

> A self-censorship tool

Have you considered that self-censorship is not necessarily always bad? You've probably thought some utterly disgusting things about people you love dearly before, and refused to say them, because you know it would damage your relationship.

This also doesn't force you to censor anything. It points out things that might be problematic.

> "triggering"

Do you actually know what triggers are? Are you sure that avoiding forcing people to relive trauma is a bad thing?

(Triggering is not the same as being offended or hurt, by the way.)

> enforcing what was first described by George Orwell as Newspeak

I'd question the word 'enforcing' again. This is, to make an analogy, a spell-checker, not autocorrect.

Anyway, Newspeak is interesting. Among other things, it supposedly shows how you can control thought through shaping language. That's not really true, though. The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, which states that language determines thought, is not accepted in its strong form by most linguists. You can't absolutely control thought through language.

Language probably does shape it a little, though, and certainly using different, more considerate terms does change how people think about things at least a little. But is it bad that people speak a little more considerately? Who is losing out from being kind?
Pascal-style strings have the length stored in the first byte, so a string can only be 255 characters long. Netstrings have the length in text at the front of the string instead, so you need only preallocate a buffer of 20 characters to store the text representation of string lengths up to 2^64 bytes.
Why don't react use semver?
I think the heavy reliance on these templates is a good clue. Apple TV's interaction model is a lot about swiping around from tappable element to tappable element. Arbitrary layouts will make this a miserable experience. Apple probably wants to establish a number of layout patterns that they believe will yield a good experience.
"Their" instead of "His" is a horrible fix, and causes me discomfort as a speaker of the English language. More seriously, statements like those should be massaged into the passive tense as to avoid pronouns (because in technical texts, you don't need them).

It warns about stuff like "cattlemen" in lieu of "cattle rancher", some really preposterous stuff. Also, as a native Polak, I had no idea the word "polack" was offensive. In Polish, it is the most used way to refer to yourself as a Polish person. I am so confused right now.

A lot of the file [1] is either obvious ("gringo" being an obvious-yet-still-HN-publishable term) or ridiculous (above).

It doesn't really help anyone as far I can tell.

I sort of get the appeal of the audio cassette.

You can throw it directly into your backpack or pocket, no delicate fiddliness like a CD.

It has enough physical substance to be meaningfully comparable to its contents, in contrast to a USB thumb drive, plus it has a finite amount of storage.

The limited storage is important in the context of mixtapes. That was a currency back in the 80's and 90's, a very meaningful and thoughtful gift to give or receive. Like a love letter.

You only got 20 or so songs, and that's it. Giving someone a subset of your torrent library is not the same.

Heh, the fact that you can make a statement like that means I don't really want to argue with you over it. In reality there are many metrics to what "doing well" can mean, surely you could anticipate that I could bring one of those out, then you'd counter, then we'd discuss which metrics are important, we'd disagree, and nothing would change.

How can I stay grounded/rational while working at a startup?
I never thought I'd find myself dealing with startup culture (even after reading HN for so long), but I recently joined a startup at my college (CS senior here). I'm really glad to be working with everyone on the team, as I feel like my college career was seriously lacking this kind of experience. We've gauged some interest from local companies about our product as well as a considerable number of other students. Everything seems to be going well so far, but I guess I can't shake this nagging thought of "people don't know what they want", and that nobody will actually use it despite initial research indicating so. So I guess my question is, how can I continue to look at the product rationally instead of having a warped view of somebody who's put a considerable amount of time stressing out over every detail?
I see and hear "autistic" used as a slur now, too.
Those fake cassette tapes that have a headphone plug work pretty well, though. Then you can use the audio source of your choice.

The real problem is cars made in the few years after CDs completely took over but before the iPod did. A lot of those only do CD and radio and there's nothing good to hook in to for other audio sources, besides using an FM transmitter, or jacking directly into the FM antenna. I owned a car like this and I wished it had tape player!
One fun thing you can do in Fortran (on a 32-bit machine) is compare four-character strings using integer equality, rather than the Fortran equivalent of strcmp(). And it's basically baked into the language; you don't have to do weird typecasting or anything like that.

That's why all the Bloomberg functions have four-letter names.
Hm, try racing. I race to the local track with our sports car, the rush (and fear) when from 180km/h in 100m I have to go down to 80 km/h and make the turn, then try to make the same turn at 85 km/h with my hands trembling and adrenaline sky-rocketing.

Or when you snowboard instead of a slalom you go just straight reaching 50-60 km/h with the board... Or after a big jump... (or when you understand that there's no place to go and you're gonna crash no matter what :-P ).

There are really, very few things that can be compared with a pure adrenaline rush.
> there's a whole new generation in US colleges that starts crying incontrollably when a law professor utters the word "rape", for example.

Constructing a straw man to prove your point is not conducive to good argumentation.

People do not "cry uncontrollably" when certain words are mentioned. People are asking that works containing graphic depictions of things likely to cause severe distress to very small segments of the population be labelled in some cases, so that people in those groups can prepare themselves. People are also asking that others not use extremely offensive language towards those in minority groups who've had to suffer through it their whole lives.

These are not unreasonable requests. They are a minimum standard of human decency and consideration.

Just as extra info in case you aren't aware, Java is also compiled directly native code on Android as of 5.0.

And apparently Oracle is finally joining the third party JVMs by adding AOT support to the reference JDK, but it might only come after Java 10.

This together with the upcoming value types and JNI replacement, might eventually close the gap with the alternatives.

I drove a manual through high school (1978 Chevy (327 engine), classic "3 on a tree" manual transmission) and my freshman year of college.

Then I broke my ankle playing pick up soccer and had to drive myself to the hospital, with a broken left ankle no less. Since then, I swore to myself, never again would I own a manual transmission. Now that my playing days are over, I've been thinking of going back to a manual.

You are correct though, the US is a total oddity. Most of the guys I play hockey with are Scandinavian or European and thought it was weird I drove an automatic. It as if I was the weird one.

What node.js needs is a better way to manage packages. Right now, upgrading can fail with no way to roll back. Also, reproducibility is missing. E.g, it is not easy to download sources, and deploy those exact same sources on different machines.
> If there's a superior alternative,

It's not superior. Out of almost half a billion English speakers, probably a very tiny percentage 'highly educated' people would ever even think that this is a topic someone might have an opinion about.

Everyone else, from small children on up, would just explain to you that a 'bad guy' can be a boy or a girl. It's not normalizing maleness, you are the one bringing an incorrect definition of -man or -guy, and that incorrect definition, which you insist on using despite being wrong both compared to the dictionary definition and long standing usage among native speakers, is what implies maleness.

This reminds me of the people who try to claim (hopefully tongue in cheek?) that history somehow encodes maleness because it has the word 'his' in it.

This is such basic optimization I have no clue how this got any interest at all.

Exactly - most of these became standards after an entity produced a good solution in the real world and it became useful to formalize them and evolve collectively.
My main concern with the word policing is for people who have been using a common term while it was not offensive, later being deemed as insensitive for having used the term.

For example if using "slave/master" terminology becomes widely accepted as insensitive, in the future someone may look through my twitter history or something and find that I had used that term, even though at the time of writing no one had considered that term insensitive.
Would you really want full blown hypertext markup styled with css on your apple tv?

It's better to restrict what is allowed in a custom markup language so that apple has better control over how it is rendered.
I wrote some RAML recently and found it very good for creating a machine-readable representation of an API. We also wanted to make it human-readable and use it as our API reference (with the API console). I found it to be mostly good, but had some trouble when explaining larger concepts that span several requests. Also, it's harder to point to the "important" parts of the API if it's sufficiently large than it was with our "freeform" reference.

I haven't looked into Swagger deeply, but RAML seems better at re-usability. Swagger seems to have way more traction though, and also more tools.
The impression modern peoples have of waterways as if they were drawn on a map and their path approved by a bureaucrat like a modern paved roadway is all kinds of wrong.

The Salton Sea was created when the Colorado River diverged from its path one year. It is in a place where local native populations have stories from their ancestors of previous lakes. The Salton Sea was expected to dry up and go away, but run off from farms and other sources has kept it alive and it is expected to stay for the foreseeable future.

The Colorado River was named that because it ran red with heavy silt. These days, it runs blue. We have tamed it, and thereby in some sense killed it. It no longer carries the life-giving fertility it once carried. It also no longer meanders. We have confined it to a particular path. This is not the natural state of any waterway. The natural state is to meander.

During the California Gold Rush, the Colorado River overflowed its banks and made a series of pools out in the desert of the South West. This provided fresh water and fresh grazing for pack animals that was life giving for some of the people heading to California in search of gold. This overflow and the bounty of the land it caused was not something that happened every year, but it happened often enough that taking advantage of the extra food it provided was part of local native culture.

In the High Desert of California, there are many dry lakes. If it rains hard enough, the lakes flood for some weeks. In some of them, shrimp hatch out.

The concept so many of us have of waterways is fundamentally broken. Water is a universal solvent and, barring human intervention, it flows where it will and not in accordance with some designated pathway.
It might well be. It is, sadly, very frequently used as an insult (at least on the Internet, anyway).
The Importance of Side Projects
Travocado – Simplify camping trip planning
I believe that you can call the slowing down of progress "retardation" still, just not where it applies to human beings.

And that's where I feel this project is mistaken. Because it would flag any use of "retard" even if it were in reference to "flame retarding bromides" or an innocuous phrase like "the pace of development has slowly retarded" or "the tempo retards in the last four measures of the piece".
Travocado simplifies planning the logistics of your group camping trip.

- Send invites and collect rsvps.

- Coordinate rides and carpooling.

- Create lists of supplies and figure out who's bringing what.

- Plan meals and schedule of activities.

- Submit expenses and calculate how much each person owes.

- Chat real-time or offline with other trip members.

- Receive regular email updates on the progress of planning and your own personal to-do list.

- Works for camping trips, Coachella, Burning Man, any type of coordinated group trip!

I'm a solo developer/designer/entrepreneur and this started out as a learning project so I could learn node, react, postgres, isomorphic rendering. It turned out to be a solid idea so I quit my job and have been working on this full-time for the last few months.

We just came out of private beta and now looking for a wider audience to give us feedback and help guide us to be the trip planning tool you've always wanted! (I'm not a designer by trade so I'd love feedback if the UI is confusing anywhere.)
If you played it with a laser, maybe. But I suspect that as soon as the needle's been over it a few times it's polished any of the really fine details right off.

What do you mean?

I commented in the first place because I was surprised that Kite uses JS+Python, a unique combination for an email client from what I've seen (which is not a lot).

I'm not interested, nor do I have the capabilities to make an email client (I can reskin RoundCube or use Gmail) or any app, for now.

But the reason I want to learn JavaScript, as well as Python, is because I want to get a feel of how both work, and not get binned in the "uses JavaScript for everything" category, which seems to be a bad thing :-).

It was hard to decide on a language to learn by myself, C and Java are recommended, but look hard to begin with. I don't want to get discouraged early on.

JavaScript is always needed (monetary opportunities) and rather easy, Python also seems easy to learn and very flexible. Ruby was my other choice, but I feel like I'm going to get overwhelmed studying them all at once.

> It's not superior.

Why is a non-exclusionary alternative not superior? If it conveys the same meaning without being exclusionary, why is it not better? It's only not superior if you think being exclusionary isn't a quality, or utterly disregard its importance.

> Out of almost half a billion English speakers, probably a very tiny percentage 'highly educated' people would ever even think that this is a topic someone might have an opinion about.

Argumentum ad populum. Even so, you seem to be projecting: how do you know people actually agree with you?

> Everyone else, from small children on up, would just explain to you that a 'bad guy' can be a boy or a girl.

Would they? Have you gone out and asked them?

'tis true, 'guy' is sometimes rather generic, so they might say so. It's not the best example. But until you actually go out and ask, we don't really know. Err on the side of caution.

(I should note that while 'guy' may be generic in some contexts, this is only because maleness is considered generic in our culture, so it would still be problematic in that case.)

> This reminds me of the people who try to claim (hopefully tongue in cheek?) that history somehow encodes maleness because it has the word 'his' in it.

It's either tongue-in-cheek or a misunderstanding of etymology. Using his-story can be a political statement about how history as we chronicle it has largely focussed on men's achievements to the exclusion of others', though.

I actually built the API console for my company - Spotify (https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/console/) - based off of RAML and am in the process of open sourcing the tech behind it. The first bit being RAMLfications, and the second, called Griffin (https://github.com/spotify/griffin) is a super alpha version of a static doc generator based off of RAML. The next/last bit to open source is the console itself, as well as some integrations like Flask extensions/Django packages.

Well... sure, not as useful, but I still think it's interesting. For instance, in english we have multiple words (goat, sheep) for what in chinese is a single word (yang2). If an unsupervised model split our mammals which have fur and bleet into two categories 'concept 19281' and 'concept 19282', we might think that it's done well to separate the goats and the sheep, but the chinese speaker might think that it's failed to group the same animal together.

Now imagine that reversed, that what we considered one thing could be considered 2 or more by the model, we had just never thought of them separate because we had no words to describe them.

There are many of these examples, where one language has one concept that's split among others in another language, and the speakers of the first language might never know the difference unless those words exist.

A good example is colors: https://eagereyes.org/blog/2011/you-only-see-colors-you-can-...

> Why do people confuse "Right to Work" with "Employment At Will"?

You are right, I used the wrong term (Right to Work) where I meant "Employment at Will." Thank you for pointing this out as they are different.

While 22 states practice Right to Work laws[1], Employment at Will appears to be much more prevalent:

Virtually all states are employment at
will states, meaning that all states
uphold the Doctrine to some degree. To
what degree states uphold the Doctrine
regarding employers' rights to discharge
employees varies by state.

I am one of the "few" people in Europe with an automatic (Toyota/Lexus hybrids only come with automatic) and I actually dislike it.

True, it's great in traffic and highway, but on mountain or even moderately hilly roads I drive much worse with it.

I drive on these roads only a few times a year, but I wouldn't recommend it at all to someone who does not live in an absolutely flat area.
