Could you expand on how you are doing this? You're still using a Makefile or a similar tool with some kind of platform detection for the build itself, right?

Naww, make it $50, which is close to what we pay for domain registration renewal. Now watch everyone give up all those IPs they've been hording. Apple has 16m IPv4 addresses, that's $800m right there. They're not dropping nearly $1b annually to hoard IPv4.

Warsaw is a pretty terrible example to follow. The bike lanes zigzag from road to sidewalk and back with no reason, and do things like deliver you into a huge roundabout where the bike lane ends without warning.
> Despite all the hate that Comcast (deservedly) gets, they do bring IPv6 to my apartment. Good on them for being on the ball.

Which would be great if everyone was running IPv6 - however my experiences is that some IPv6->IPv4 tunnels break some protocols (like T-Mobile's IPv6->IPv4 tunnel - I have to use IPv4 because their tunnel appears to break SIP connections. I'm not sure if they did that on purpose for suspect reasons. And of course - they don't make this easy...).

4Chan can be extremely hilarious sometimes; some of the funniest content I've seen on the internet is from 4Chan.

It avoids stepping on memory elsewhere in the program though. My personal preference for C99 and above is to pass the length as a parameter.

int do_stuff(size_t len, int64_t arr[len]);

It still suffers from the pointer decay problem, but it at least forces whoever is reading/writing the code to acknowledge the length.

Many, many people:

- do not have showers at work

- do not have safe routes to ride

- are not experienced cyclists

- average more like 10mph

The discussion is not "how do we get hardcore bike nuts to ride to work". That's not hard.
Both Reddit and 4chan have areas that provide value. Kinda like how every major city has drugs sex trafficking as well as an arts district and fine dining.

This is a postmodern phenomenon, and art museums well predate it.

I would call it a fear issue more so than loyalty. I would be willing to bet not a lot of people knew to begin with, and the few that were told or stumbled upon it didn't want to make it into a big deal for fear of getting caught up in a problem.

In the past, when I've seen a situation like this, one person in middle to middle-upper management made the call, and seriously only 1, maybe 2 devs were involved. If those devs said anything, it was usually a halfhearted attempt to escalate the risk, and was ignored as "well, that manager must have some reason" or "That's too hot of an issue."

I know, it's a crappy mentality, but most people don't want to get caught up in a big ethics issue at work. It's extremely risky for the person escalating.

As far as how only a couple people might know this even happened, corporate codebases are sometimes a total mess. There usually aren't things like code reviews. Project managers sometimes have absolutely no idea what the project actually is or what the requirements are. Devs often work in a bubble with shoddy requirements worked out by managers in the business and/or IT management. Not every company works this way, but I've seen three like this where the SDLC was miserably flawed.
Places I've been in the UK get this right, as well as Erlangen and Koln, and from google maps it seems like Munich gets it right as well. A rather small sample, but I suspect that the traffic engineering generalizes.
Several of my friends are bike shop workers in Chicago, I can confirm this is quickly becoming the preferred "DUI Bike" for those with the means.
I do laugh at the image of society at large switching from cars to bikes. At the moment biking is dominated by young fit and generally healthy people. That may be silicon valley but it isn't the general population. I see lots of young parents going to work by bike, but do they take their kids to school on bikes? Does grandma get to the doctor on a tricycle?

And what about the growing number of people who need to be brought places, who cannot drive themselves? There are a great many people with special needs/requirements who will never be able to move themselves safely by bike or any other vehicle. They and their carers should not be cut out of city planning, nor should they be confined to special communities.

Stay up-to-date and be a master of your profession
When I bought my road bike, I tried to optimize the hell out of the performance/price ratio. You could get a pretty good road bike for less than $2k, or quite a bit less than that with some effort. Choose a store with good prices, and use all the discounts and sales you could get your hands on.

This was a few years back, but I got mine for $1200. Granted, this was in the middle of a massive sale, but still. It's even got a carbon fiber fork (but aluminum frame).

Frankly, not being Lance Armstrong, I don't care about the last few percentage points of performance. All I care is how much I get for the buck I pay, and whether I get a decent bike or not. Keep the chain lubed and the tires rock-hard, and the thing flies on most roads.
Yes, clearly erecting more artificial barriers to entry in the software development business is the answer. How can VW's management have been so blind as not to see that?
Another way of saying this: we're good at sensing the delta of acceleration, not the absolute acceleration. Also, we tend not to notice small DC values of either acceleration or rotation, so you can manipulate the user's perception.

Someone published a similar hack for full-room VR, showing you can 'bend' someone's trajectory, to create the false sense that they're walking straight when in fact they're curving. In a large enough space you could simulate an infinite hallway (by having the user walk in a circle).

Sorry, I tried but can't dig up the link right now... but it's out there somewhere.
The code is a symptom. The underlying issue was and is that VW dies not have a marketable small diesel that complies with current emissions regulations. Never mind more stringent future regulations.

Today VW is in a position to expose the loss they were going to take anyway, dump the problematic technology, blame everything on Winterkorn, and go through a jumbo box of come-to-Jesus motions. And just as diesel-gate broke VW happened to announce their bet on electric: http://www.techtimes.com/articles/84995/20150915/volkswagen-...

It's not like the people at VW are stupid or naive in regards to PR. Diesel was not going to propel VW past GM in a sustainable way. This story makes that obvious.
The Man Accused of Trying to Pull Earth Out of Its Orbit
correlation != causation
The source of my assertion comes from repeated conversations with the Servo developers, who have written many hundreds of thousands of lines of Rust in a project whose goal is to be twice as fast as modern web browsers (in other words, they are comparing themselves to programs written in C++, and speed matters). They regularly profile in pursuit of tracking down inefficiencies, and bounds checking has never been even a blip on their radar. Quotes from the exchange I've had just now with pcwalton: "I haven't done rigorous benchmarking but I have never seen it in instruction level profiles [...] I'd rather just spend my time shipping software that uses fast bounds checks and prove it that way :) [...] my point is simply that the delta between idiomatic Rust code that uses iterators and no bounds checks and the idiomatic Rust code that uses iterators and bounds checks is incredibly small since bounds checks are so rare to begin with" (http://logs.glob.uno/?c=mozilla%23servo#c271807)

As for actual benchmarks, I think they would actually be quite easy to produce. There's exactly one line in the Rust stdlib that provides bounds checking for indexing, right here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/libcore/sl... . All you would need to do is take out that line and compile Servo with your modified stdlib and compare the results of running the built-in benchmarks. I may just do this myself as a blog post. :)

> Who wants to believe this? It seems pretty lop-sided to accuse the "nature"-skeptics (or "nurture"-proponents) of falling prey to confirmation bias, when our history is littered with much more evidence of the atrocities committed by eugenicists.

Ugh, eugenicist atrocities have literally nothing to do with the science. Believing that nature is the leading cause of characteristics does not justify eugenics. And even if this did, how on earth does this disprove that nurture proponents are experiencing confirmation bias?

I'm not a nature proponent (or a nurture proponent). The fact that many nurture proponents experience confirmation doesn't prove them wrong; I'm merely saying that they're believing what they believe for the wrong reason.

> Even today, it seems that many people who are successful are desperate to find out how much it is their innate destiny, due to genetics.

This does not in any way disprove that some nurture proponents are experiencing confirmation bias.

Overall you've made this gigantic logical leap that because a small subset of nature proponents did bad things, nurture proponents must not be experiencing confirmation bias.

And before you make yet another logical leap and assume I'm talking about all or most nurture proponents experiencing confirmation bias, I'm not. I've said "we" to talk about a common human motivation, but I'm really talking about what I think the motivation of the author of the article is. I'm not making any claims about other people.

As someone who casually browses 4chan (at least some of the less major boards, certainly not /b/) I've got to say that I've never really seen any particularly awful content. Either it's not as ubiquitous as people think or the janitors are really, really good at their jobs.

It's all very silly, of course. But the anonymous thing is fun and I've had some interesting debates where I can just test ideas and say whatever for the hell of it without worrying about any kind of repercussion in terms of my reputation. It's easier to go in guns blazing being wrong and learn something without feeling that it's personal when no one has a name.
> We may have a different definition of protected, I think of the lanes on Remington as protected but they are created by striping, not curb work, so it isn't like there is a lane all to itself.

Ah, that explains it.

So, you're talking about painted bike lanes (regular single stripe of paint to separate). There are also buffered bike lanes (extended painted area that separates bike lanes) and protected bike lanes (some kind of physical barrier between cars and bike lanes). There are many different options for separating bikes from cars, but if you're just using paint it's not considered protected; the ones in this link all are protected except for the first: http://www.peopleforbikes.org/blog/entry/14-ways-to-make-bik...

The reason why this distinction is important is that average people are vastly more likely to feel comfortable riding in a protected lane than an unprotected one (note: sometimes protected bike lanes are referred to as 'physically separated'): http://www.peopleforbikes.org/blog/entry/selling-biking-perc...

> But I'm looking at this from desktop machine user perspective.

From a desktop machine user perspective, there is no difference between the various audio libraries. So, I'm not sure why you brought them up if that is the perspective from which you were speaking.

> Then I have a few apps that use GTK2 and GTK3, a few Wine apps, too. There are also KDE3libs for kTechLab, WxWidgets used by pgAdmin3 and Swing for IntelliJ-based IDEs.

1) It's the same story on Windows. GTK, QT, Swing, WxWidgets are all cross-platform UI toolkits.

2) The look and feel of a given piece of native Windows software (and its stock dialogs) often differs drastically depending on when the software was written and whether or not someone has bothered to update its look & feel recently. I can't speak to OS X, but given how iTunes and QuickTime player's UI were so dramatically different from what I understood the Mac look & feel to be, I would be surprised if this "problem" was completely absent.

3a) There enough variance in the way you interact with different programs that I have a hard time being sympathetic to the complaint that moving from QT's file picker to GTK's file picker to the WIN32 file picker to a modern Windows file picker is tremendously hard on the computer operator.

3b) Most of have been required to hop into a one-ton missile whose control layout and handling characteristics are radically different from all other such missiles we've operated in the past. Despite these challenges, we almost universally have great success in operating these unfamiliar missiles at highway speed with only the most fleeting of self-generated and self-guided training programs.

Unrelated to all that: I'm finding that I'm substantially more happy with JACK than PulseAudio. I started using PA maybe around 0.9.2 or so. I was -for the longest time- SUPER excited about both transparent network audio transmission and about the ability to move streams between audio sinks on the fly. As time wore on, I discovered a few things:

* Apart from the week or so of demos to myself and friends, I never made use of network audio streaming. [0]

* I almost never had more than one audio sink attached to my computer.

* PA -on my hardware- has widely variable audio latency. (I'm 100% okay with rather large audio latency. I cannot tolerate unpredictable audio latency.)

Recently, I decided to take another look at JACK. I'd been shying away from it because it had a reputation as being really hard to configure and work with. Turns out that that reputation is undeserved! Additionally, JACK has -AFAICT- rock solid audio latency, and manages to use less CPU in the process.

[0] I make constant use of SSH's X11 forwarding, even between my desktop machine and my laptop. This is something that I would conceivably use, and thought that I would use all the time.
I see lots of young parents going to work by bike, but do they take their kids to school on bikes?

In bike-friendly places, yes. http://www.workcycles.nl/workcycles-bakfietsen-images/bakfie...

There are a great many people with special needs/requirements who will never be able to move themselves safely by bike or any other vehicle. They and their carers should not be cut out of city planning, nor should they be confined to special communities.

Do you think people in Copenhagen who can't drive themselves are confined to special communities? Do you think they don't have roads and cars?

If anything, less cars on the roads makes it easier and safer for them to move around.

>Towers surrounded by green space has been tried, with mostly negative results.

on 2D surface the density can be done only by growing into the 3rd dimension. The only issue is how to do it. The ratio between height, footprint and total capacity i think reaches its worst value in the current style of development in the Valley (as a result of developers ripping best value in profit possible inside the municipally imposed limits)

>Surrounding buildings with parks makes walking harder and less pleasant.

as if walking on a concrete sidewalk between 3-story wall and the traffic lanes in the open under CA midday Sun beats it :)
So "biased" in the sense that it is not biased towards your world view.
First, it's not tech's problem to fix. It's a city-wide problem. Faulting tech for not solving problems that are not tech's to solve is at best dishonest.

Tech workers living in the city are no less of residents because of their job. Tech is no less a participant of the city than any other business sector. Your post is basically the Bystander Effect in action.
Lovely. Reminds me of this quote from Lorraine Daston:

The marvel that stopped us in our tracks—an aurora borealis, cognate words in
languages separated by continents and centuries, the peacock’s tail—becomes
only an apparent marvel once explained. Aesthetic appreciation may linger…but
composure has returned. We are delighted but no longer discombobulated; what
was once an earthquake of the soul is subdued into an agreeable frisson.… The
more we know, the less we wonder.

I feel this personally when learning a new piece of music. All the gestalt beauty drains out as the song is reduced to a mountain to be conquered rather than a landscape to be appreciated. By the time I've memorized all the notes, a grim irony sets in: when I listen to a recording of the piece, I am no longer capable of hearing what I initially set out to replicate.

> you think reddit's bad, try 4chan!

I honestly don't think the two are even comparable. Moderating a large subreddit on reddit is infinitely harder and more complex than 4chan. Some of the larger subreddits see more pageviews than the entirety of 4chan.

Moving beyond that, moderators on 4chan are completely anonymous unless they choose to be known. This isn't the case with reddit. Moderators often have to have a long and tenured account history or else they don't really have a shot at being added onto a mod team in the first place. Very few subreddits, and no large ones, will add someone to their team without a history.

This is important because with a history, you open yourself up to attacks. If you do something unpopular, you will get witch-hunted by reddit's masses. I speak from personal experience. People will call your house, your loved ones, send pizzas or worse. You're literally walking on eggshells 24/7, 365 days of the year. And then even if you do everything right, if someone has it out for you, it doesn't matter. They'll still figure out who you are and harass you. It's an added dynamic that just doesn't exist with moderation on 4chan.

Moderating a large subreddit on reddit (a large default, like /r/Pics, /r/Funny, /r/Worldnews, etc) is probably the toughest moderating job on the internet right now. And what makes it tough are the millions upon millions of users.

On 4chan, you're literally a janitor. On reddit, you're a janitor and you're also responsible for community building and everything that comes along with that. It's your community and if you don't build it, nobody will come.

No, but Copenhagen is a tiny little place and still has lots of private cars. Either they aren't living in the bike-only core, or they have use of a car. A total switch to bikes, away from private motor vehicles by all, is a very different scenario than current copenhagen.
