Europe generally has more stringent regulation and worse pollution than the US. It's many more people in a smaller space.

Noise isn't a good predictor though, a muffler is a drain on efficiency.
"But for sure, I'll never reach the official 5.7 l/km with my car ..." --> are you driving a Russian tank? I drive a 10 year old not particularly efficient Vauxhall (UK) and it is doing ~17 km/l!
I wouldn't consider that a counterpoint. Article goes on to say that the system wasn't on that car and obviously these are supposed to be emergency measures, not relied on.
New first time father of a 3 month old. It's really taken me by surprise how much guilt is thrown at women who either have to or choose to supplement breast milk with some formula. In our case, my wife cannot produce enough to cover him 100%, so we supplement. And he's growing well and extremely healthy so far (shrug).

I guess this form of "mommy guilt" is well in line with the trend of every person you meet having their own opinion about every aspect of child raising. Where I'm really starting to think that, outside of the advice of your pediatrician (who should never be ignored), most of it really does not matter at all.
If people are okay with donating blood, I don't see what's so strange with donating milk. Maybe try explaining it from that angle.

The American fear of boobs is such a bizarre thing. We will happily artificially impregnate cows and pump them til they're dry to extract an inferior product, but cower in fear of the free, natural, superior option.

Fortunately its relatively cheap, universally available, and extremely effective. It could be considered the best, simplest performance drug possible.

As for emotional arguments about 'going against your body' that's religion. Your body was designed to resist constant parasitic infestation, never be washed and exercise hard every day, all day. Who wants to live that way? You could consider 3 meals a day as 'going against your body'.
Can versus Should
You might not be wrong, but your concern seems reminiscent of the fears raised when seatbelts became mandatory: That someone would get into an accident where the car went into a lake or pond, and the seatbelt trapped the occupants inside the sinking car.

That is, it's a legitimate fear, but such a rare occurrence that the benefit of seatbelts far, far outweigh the risk of this sort of uncommon scenario.
So with this new form factor, I plug it into my TV, and then it just... hangs there?
The consequences are different however, increased pollution has far reaching consequences, first of all human health. If my neighbour's smartphone has a shorter battery life it doesn't concern me, however if their car (and the cars of million of people around me) pollute more it's definitely my problem.
Lessons from Sixteen Months of Bootstrapping

Hey, a fool and his money. . .

I've been doing Scala for 5+ years, real-world production code. From here it feels like the popularity of types is going up and up (and within Scala they're becoming more popular e.g. look at doobie). Haskell and OCaml look to be getting more popular, not less. Javascript is a special case because of the browser. Go is mostly displacing Python and Ruby. There's certainly no exodus of ex-Haskell programmers fleeing for less typed languages.

I'm not sure when "weird" became the stigma around feeding baby, but its unfortunate. My wife and I have a 3 month old, and if our baby is hungry - she breast feeds him. (Mind you she is very conservative about the whole process). Its amazing the people that give strange looks in a restaurant, after all everyone else is eating. Why can't our son?
What "Pixel" denotes is "cargo cult dogfooding." It's when you sell your customers dry kibble dog food and you have some high-end dogfood around for your engineers, some of the canned stuff that you let the really clever dogs cover in veal demi-glace through Crouton. (Yes, I understand that I'm comparing Ubuntu to something top of the line, it's not a perfect metaphor.)

Google, outside of their smartphones, makes computer products for children. I'm serious about this, I'm not being condescending to Google users, I mean actual children. Android tablets are the tablets you give to a four-year-old to occupy them on a long car trip or while you're making dinner. They're small enough for a child to hold comfortably and they're cheap enough for you to not stress out what the child is going to do with them. Chromebooks have caught on in exactly one market, education, because children can be real assholes and giving them a computer that can't actually run software eliminates a lot of the headaches that come from giving Turing-complete devices to real assholes.

But Google engineers aren't children. They want real computers. What they probably really want are MacBooks, just like everyone else. But MacBooks aren't dogfood. The Chromebook Pixel exists pretty much entirely so that Google can claim to dogfood ChromeOS and engineers can get a laptop that works for them, if you consider putting up with Ubuntu over OS X working for them. It's all an elaborate charade, in that running a high-end Chromebook Pixel and using Ubuntu through Crouton or just wiping the thing has about as much in common as the $200 Chromebooks that most ChromeOS users actually have as just giving the Google engineers their MacBooks, but Google seems to regard dogfooding as something more honored in the breach than in the observance, so that's just par for the course.

So why is this a Pixel and not a Nexus device? Well one, because Google makes it themselves. But why are they making this themselves? Or at all? Because Google engineers want a Surface or iPad Pro. And people who work for Google are about the only market for a Surface or iPad Pro knockoff running Android, because Android is such a terrible tablet ecosystem for anyone who has app needs beyond Netflix and Toca Pet Doctor and I don't see this thing moving the needle on that point. And since it's running Android and not ChromeOS you can't even get any of that Ubuntu demi-glace on it. So even by the standards of the Pixel line this is such an awkward compromise between dogfood and something edible.
This is a bit philosophical, but I'd say the thing you're disdaining here is the ability to handle difficult concepts. It's tough to acquire, because it requires practice failing at it for a while until we begin to succeed at standing in the path of these ideas without getting "kneecapped" by them.

There does come a point, though, where they cease being so threatening. When you're practiced at handling ideas that threaten depression, they're no longer so effective when an attempt is made to use them against you.

Or maybe I just need coffee.
Some women have extreme difficulty producing milk. It's a real problem.

In my anecdotal observation, however, it's far more common to decide against it due to discomfort or inconvenience, often prompted by an initial difficulty getting started. We just aren't taught how to do it any more. We have formula for that.

I'm with you. Most natural thing in the world.

But of course the issue is, partially disrobing in public. We all know this. And the more mothers respond by not breastfeeding in public, the less the public sees it and the less they are inured to the sight. So the taboo gets stronger.

Fun fact: there is actually no such thing as ZIP code boundaries.

ZIP codes are actually based on delivery routes: your ZIP code is the post office your mail carrier leaves from. ZIP codes will not actually respect community boundaries: if a town lies between two post offices, it is frequently more efficient for mail to be delivered by carriers from multiple post offices.

Moreover, not every address in the US receives home delivery. If the post office does not have a delivery route going past your home address, you can instead get a post office box from whichever post office you find most convenient. What happens to packages addressed to those street addresses is ... complex.

The "ZIP code maps" you have probably seen are actually creations of third-parties. If you ask very nicely, the Post Office will give you a list of which street addresses belong to which ZIP codes. A couple of different third party map-makers will then try to create a map based on these lists. They are not always useful or accurate.
Adblockers and Innovative Ad Companies Are Working Together
I was only thinking about the mainstream.

As far as I am aware, IBM is mostly busy making GNU/Linux run on their mainframes.

Aix has lots of cool features, but it is still a fairly typical UNIX.

OS/400 kernel is quite cool, using bytecodes as executable format with a kernel level JIT and being object based. But there is very little more to innovate, most likely.

I left out General Dynamics, only because I didn't thought of them while writing.
Hmm. I think you are right, the caption and graphic conflict a bit.
I'm sure there is a funny freudian explanation for this too but, well, people drink milk so you have a very clear disgusting factor involved.
Volvo claimed that the driver hadn't paid for the pedestrian detection upgrade which costs an extra $3,000. That said, it seems like a feature that shouldn't be confusing as to whether your car has it or not. But then again, its not a feature that non-professionals should be testing/showing off on living beings...

I think I agree that "boring" shouldn't be used as an excuse to avoid work required to understand the problem. Only when you understand you can determine how it can be automated.

I don't think that I agree with the idea that predictable code has to be boring. And vice versa - needless complexity may be boring too.

Anyway, I didn't mean it in derogatory way, just like the original article. What I am saying is that there is probably some smart idea, how to automate things, and you just need to look for it. Where automate really means make computer do it.

In other professions, it's more complicated. Say building a house may be considered boring, once it is designed, but it's hard to automate - some humans still have to do the actual bricklaying and plumbing and so on. Programming is unique profession in this respect (at least until we have very flexible robots).

It interfaces extremely easily with _lots_ of obscure measurement devices / cameras / sensors / step motors and other hardware, and makes it trivial to make graphical user interfaces for them. It compiles to machine code and has an easy model for concurrency.

In a previous job I made computer vision-powered robotics for food and agriculture, and it was almost entirely LabVIEW with some things implemented in C for speed.

Even with years of experience I found it a pain to work in though, compared to text based languages.
I'd guess its almost universally embarrassment. The rest is rationalization.

I don't think so. Mathematicians don't think of "f(x)" as evaluation or application, but as the value of the function f at x. The "at" is very important, because we generally deal with numerical functions that have well-defined geometric graphs, and even for other functions, we retain the graphical metaphors even if they may not apply anymore. We don't generally think of "f(x)" as a computation is what I mean. We discuss functions all the time whose values we agree will exist but cannot be computed (for example, a choice function that we obtained via the axiom of choice).

We also don't generally pass functions around to other functions, and we don't care about syntax that much. After all, we are not computers, so we are quite comfortable changing syntax around according to habit and custom, even happily using ambiguous syntax when we think that our readers can figure out what we mean.

So, no. We don't have a common name for it because it's not an important distinction for us.

I think your chained, tab-indented from-select structure is the worst idea ever conceived of by mankind, and the only purpose I can think of for it is you want to encourage my carpel-tunnel to flare up again. So much extra verbosity added to the standard SQL of writing that query for no additional clarity. (And you still need the from! Just comment out one line and two columns, it's no harder than commenting out the weird syntax you've come up with.)

Which is not to say that SQL can't be improved upon, but the amount of improvement you'd need to make to make it worth learning a different query language is I think higher than the benefits you can get from improving SQL, especially if you're not going to radically remake it, because being 80% SQL is worse than being 0% SQL because you keep running up against the principle of least surprise not working.

I thought the same. In my anecdotal experience, drivers tend to get much lower than the manufacturer mileage because they optimize for things other than fuel economy (e.g., speed).

My dad taught me lots of tips on conserving fuel and thankfully I've exceeded the sticker numbers on every car I've owned.
> The problem with that seems to be that if you're always trying to catch up with some overarching scheme of advancement and progress, you won't have a moment of peace until you retire...

Oh that's not true at all. Inner peace relies not on what you do, but on how you do it. It's easier to clear your head, say, when you're mowing the grass as opposed to creating a new marketing strategy, but that doesn't mean you can't.
County boundaries in much of the US are like state boundaries: people drew a bunch of straight lines through a map, with only the slightest regard for natural barriers, to create areas of pleasing size. It is quite common to have large population centers crossing county boundaries, or have natural barriers in the middle of a county with population centers on either side.

It should give more clearence for getting into the car; and better access to the third row
This is not good, but it is much different from the NOx cheat because consumers can easily measure MPG themselves, and do. For that matter it's commonly noted in car magazines that U.S. EPA MPG ratings are lower the E.U. ratings for the same car & drivetrain; I'm not sure the 50% number in the OP would be so high relative to U.S. tests.

It also speaks to the responsibility of the auto press for the NOx issue. They routinely report real-world MPG ratings for cars ("in our driving, we got __ MPG"), but haven't bothered to test real-world emissions despite all the other expensive gear they use to test car performance. Manufacturers and governments should be accurate and honest, but it's also the press that should be routinely verifying their accuracy.

It depends on your circles. The guilt is misdirected frustration with uninformed mothers who think formula is good enough, or frustration with the eh-too-hard-lets-order-something-cute-from-mini-boden set. But in most circles, formula is extremely common.

In other cultures, if mom is unable to produce enough milk, there were other moms to help. That's too weird for us now, so it's formula or some other second rate substitution.

I just gave a bunch of examples of how we're making driving cheaper than it would be if only supported by user fees... that's a subsidy.

I think we subsidize it because we thought it was a good idea back in the day - we chose cars and for example, Spain, chose trains. There are pros and cons to each. I suppose my point is that we CHOSE at every level of government.

This is the lens I see the world through and I think choosing cars (or how Spain chose trains) massively effects a society's quality of life. I want people driving to know that we as a society chose to support cars - to subsidize them to make them cheaper - and there are pros and cons (eg. more freedom but less walking). Anecdotally, no one I know thinks about it - they assume that's just the way it is and there are no alternatives. Maybe even that it's the result of free market.

First time father with a seven month old here. I observe there is frequently more attachment to an idea (don't formula feed!) than there is the ideal (baby should be as healthy as possible).

But I also observe that part of that is driven (at least, in America, where you seem to also be located) by the conceptual societal framework that has led kids to understand you should only be with people who don't criticize you, and my wife and I heard from several people while she was pregnant that we 'need to find our tribe,' where we try to exclusively spend our social time in a sub-group of people that share our philosophies on child-rearing and related fields. I reject this line of thinking as needlessly polarizing, and I think that if you only are with your tribe, you're going to be messing up your kid the same way everyone else in that tribe messes up their kids (and I also observe that every generation of Americans since the 'Greatest Generation' complains about how their parents raised them, I don't expect my children's generation to be any different)
