"Tech bros" don't like their jobs outsourced to India. That's comparable to your examples, yet they are mostly upper class.

In addition, people are concerned about things that effect themselves. The elites don't care about the neighborhoods they don't live in, or the jobs they don't have to compete for.

But they do care about profit, and about getting richer. In all of the examples you gave, that motivation would work just as well as being "principled" as to explaining their allegiance to the opposite side of the issues as to that of the lower class.

If the world ends up 99.99% of us are either starving or doing jobs such as building a carbon fiber toilet for some rich guy's yacht, simply because the elite "own" everything, the world would be a worse off place, wouldn't you agree?

And, IMO, that's what will occur if we strip away all laws meant to protect the little guy.

What about CO2 emitted by the driver? They are respiring too.

The real issue with emitted CO2 is not the quantity at the exhaust-pipe versus the quantity exhaled by a cyclist. The CO2 emitted by the cyclist was absorbed by plants in the preceding months. The CO2 emitted by the car was absorbed by plants in a previous era of the earth. The cyclist allows you to leave the oil in the ground keeping the contained carbon out of the atmosphere.

"Meta-x gud-gdb" for the old fashioned, or "Meta-x gdb", starts a gdb session in Emacs. Give it the executable you want to debug, then at the prompt type "run arg1 arg2...".

"watch p_mydata[34]->blahblah" sets a hardware watchpoint;

Ctrl-x-a-b sets a breakpoint at the cursor in the Emacs;

Ctrl-x-a-u runs until the cursor;

Ctrl-x-a-j jumps at the cursor;

And many other niceties.

There's also a way to create a buffer to monitor some variables.

You can actually attach the emacs-gdb buffer to a process you're running through valgrind when a valgrind error occurs. Not to mention it runs undo-gdb, of course.
Wouldn't another solution be to make sure human built products are seen as luxury goods compared to ones built by machines? You wouldn't even need to 'augment' anyone if you could sell 'human made' products in the same way as 'organic' produce or 'free range' eggs or those local goods that get certified as built in one specific part of the world.

I'm sure there would be a certain audience that would pay a premium for goods not made through automation if the label said it'd help the workers stay employed.

I don't think the savings for a file 10x as large can be extrapolated. This likely wouldn't work as the (default) window size for XZ would be too small; the similarities would be too sparse. To get the same benefits you'd need to use at least 10x as much memory by increasing the window size.

Providex (a basic dialect that my company still uses) has a soft-ish limit of around 52000 for line numbers.

You can get around that with some flags, but its more of a pain than its worth.

We tend to go by hundreds for programs, and we have a renumber command, but using it is the nuclear option because it will break goto line number references from outside programs (yeah, that's a very common thing in this language)

Downvote wasn't mine. I upvoted you to cancel it out. But thanks for dishonestly implying I'm racist (thereby proving my point), when my entire comment was on economic issues.

By integration I mean political integration. I think very large states have scale problems, large democracies in particular. (Look at India or the US). You either end up with populist parties who need to appeal to the lowest common denominator of hundreds of millions of people, or technocratic elites who ignore the people. The EU has 500 million citizens from 27 ancient nations, with wildly different cultures and economies. There's no way you can fuse them into one giant country, and the inevitable outcome is fuelling nationalism and populism centred around anti-EU resentment.

Author here: Agreed & most parts of this particular project aren't really the best example. With other (newer) projects I embraced the LP style much more, and in fact by now really often first write the prose parts to get my head clear about a certain aspect and only then start writing code, e.g.

But you still can insert non-consitent data into the database with CLI, or otherwise. And `default` values defined inside Mongoose is no good when filtering or searching documents.

There are plenty more problems with emulating schema in app code (Mongoose or anything else), so it's not that trivial.

Where does the EU provide the means for a welfare state? Do jobless people get money from the EU? Any country can handle its own version of welfare state. There is no mandate from the EU.

The perception is usually actually the other way round: many people think the EU caters too much to the multinationals and bends over backwards to let the "turbo capitalists" have their way with the little people. At least that is what I hear from pretty much everyone I know in the south of Europe, the left in France and Germany, and UKIP supporters in the UK (think of the TTIP discussions). So which is it now? A socialist welfare state or bureaucrats pleasing bankers and corporations?
So, despite his sons residency and employment both being dependent on the uk's continued membership of the EU, you think this was a rational, kind decision?

> are a way of saying "let's watch the elite's world and system collapse on itself"

I don't think people want to replace the elites with void. Maybe that's the case for nihilistic, fringe far-right or far-left parties. But when majorities or near majorities are voting for Trump or Brexit, they want to replace the elites with
something else`.

It's funny to watch the elites suddenly renouncing democracy because she stopped serving their purposes (It was quite a relevation to watch reddit go full-on military-dictatorship this past week, but hey reddit is not reality).

Democracy is a very adaptive concept and there is a saying that there are no dead ends with it.
Sorry, it just pissed me off almightily that I got downmodded for asking a question, so went for plan b: bait.

Those "ancient nations" are mostly less than a century old. Europe has been a superstate several times previously, although it admittedly hasn't lasted under political or religious hegemony.
Not sure, whether you saw this or not. But there has been some effort on this front - https://github.com/jashkenas/underscore/issues/2182
Why are humans so obsessed with 'the end of the world'? In times of yore, we predicted it using religious texts as evidence. Now we use science.

I'm not saying the science is wrong, just that there's a constant thread throughout human history of worrying about it.

Side note: you can have constraints, `check`s, indexes and triggers on `json` and `jsonb` columns in Postgres. In fact, you can have everything other data types have. So "no schema" or "moving schema to app level" doesn't have to be the case, when using PG.
Why does it take 110ms for Postgres to count the rows in a table? That seems like an insanely long time.
Theoretically, if Mill isn't vaporware, its plan is to distribute binaries in a format independent of certain hardware implementation details, and have a "specializer" in the BIOS or kernel to compile from the generic instruction set to the machine-specific instruction set on demand, reordering operations and grouping them into instructions, inserting delays, and spilling belt (register) contents to on-chip RAM where necessary.

Essentially, the idea is to move all the CISC stuff out to software, and do VLIW internally. That could possibly help?

> Maybe the populations of France, Spain, Italy et al will accept that they can't fund welfare states by borrowing in perpetuity and stop voting in radical left-wing governments.

Spain has never had a left-wing government, let alone radical left. Since democracy, we have had 4 centre-right legislatures and 6 centre-left, last of which was in 2008, with the current election deadlock still resulting in a majority of centre-right votes.
I've never actually met a tech bro who objected except on HN. Everyone I've met has been fine with economic competition from people unlike them. But I could be wrong - do you have evidence that tech is even remotely as protectionist as the trump/Bernie voting masses?

The local elites don't need to compete for CEO jobs with Satya Nadella or Sunder Pichai? That's news to me.
Yes. It's certainly the case that many Brexiter voters voted that way for reasons that bordered on or went over the line to be racist--not that a desire to place controls on immigration is inherently racist.

That said, if I had been voting (I'm a US citizen) I would almost certainly have voted remain in part because pulling out of the existing union is going to be a mess. And because the UK is already outside of important parts of EU-related structure such as the Euro. But I would have done so in spite of many of the aspirations to create a European super-state that many in Brussels share.

Of course they can, we just have to be willing to let them in order to see the fundamental flaws in the system as it is.
You make it sound as if the UK was not in the EU all these years. You had bargaining and Veto powers to steer the EU to your direction, but i can't remember when you did so. Probably that's the reason why most EU citizens are indifferently watching you leave.
Postgres has it with LISTEN/NOTIFY.

It also can read from and write to Redis using Foreign Data Wrappers. Pretty neat, if you want your DB to be single place you store data, but something faster for reads or cache.
There's always been a percentage who would vote for, shall we say, simplistic reasons. They're the group least likely to actually go and vote I believe.

But some kid latching onto the oft used soundbite of "take back control" (from whom, why?) is little different to "I vote Labour because my dad always did", or "I voted Blair because he has a nice smile" (someone actually said that to me after the 97 election).

I just consider it background noise, and might be perhaps 20% of all votes.

What was different is that they managed to get a good turnout, and in cases where it wasn't about jobs/EU migration it was about London overlords telling them what to do whilst simultaneously neglecting them (take back control).

The messages resonated perfectly with their life experiences.

Unfortunately the irony of giving the UK govt a good kicking via an EU Brexit vote that will remove more benefits than problems for them will be lost on them.

It was never about the features -- it's about their integration. The fact that you can get get 20 ad-hoc features piled on a language doesn't mean they come as naturally as they do in LISP.

And "AST parsing and manipulation", "macros" and "homoiconicity" are very far from being "normal features of any modern language", except if by modern you mean "any language that has them". Most languages currently in vogue (by which I mean extensive commercial/IT use and made in the past 10-20 years, not COBOL or C++) don't have those.

>Lisp STILL has the same problem on small processors.

So? We have languages at all levels of the CPU-power spectrum, plus we use Javascript and Java and Python in small processors all the time, and Lisp is either very near (e.g. to Java) in speed or flies all over them.

Except if you mean really restricted embedded processors, but then again, nobody said LISP is the best option for them.
Google does offer something like this - Google for Work is $10 a month .

There are of course other benefits and extra controls/features as well, but it at least covers your main point.
> I find the anti-HTTPS fixation equally bizarre

Nobody is anti-https here. The point is that it does doesn't protect against software distribution integrity (especially not when mirrors and CDNs are used). Pretending that security would improve with https risks making the problem worse, not better. What's needed is better instructions how to verify integrity included with the installation instructions.

LFE, Lisp Flavored Erlang, is much closer to Lisp, and not just in name. And, LFE is compatible with both Elixir and Erlang. [1]

To quote, Robert Virding, one of Erlang's creators and the creator of LFE:

I would say that one restriction with the type of macros that elixir has, irrespective of whether we call it homoiconic or not, is that they can only manipulate existing forms in the AST, they can't define new syntactic forms. In elixir this means that you basically work with function calls. There is syntactic support for making the function calls look less like function calls but the macros you define are basically function calls.
In Lisp you are free to create completely new syntactic forms. Whether this is a feature of the homoiconicity of Lisp or of Lisp itself is another question as the Lisp syntax is very simple and everything basically has the same structure anyway. Some people say Lisp has no syntax. [2]

I don't think they're dependent on the UK's membership of the EU that much.

First, there's plenty of people not from EU who participate in European research on European grants. Think Russians in CERN and so on.

Second, secession from EU doesn't mean freedom of travel will be thwarted for scientists. UK was already not on Schengen, so what? At worst they'll have get a visa every few years.

In short, that person might consider that his son will figure it out.

Regarding "kind" - "kind" is irrational. Rational is often not kind and kind is often not rational.
It really doesn't. I just did so in Safari. Held the Option key, hovered over the green traffic light, and it first reduced the size of the screen. I clicked on it again, and it filled the screen vertically, but not horizontally. Still need to use Magnet/Spectacle to maximize my window.

What Linux distribution did you use? In my experience the font rendering in the common distributions, like Ubuntu, is rather good these days. Personally I use Debian stable with a simple window manager (Blackbox) and no X display manager. In this case I need to set a few variables in ~/.Xresources to get good results:

Xft.antialias: true
Xft.autohint: false
Xft.dpi: 100
Xft.hinting: true
Xft.hintstyle: hintslight
Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault
Xft.rgba: rgb
I would guess two issues:

1. In many cases, there is a ~30ms floor on operations if a server is non-local. That's true of virtually all services on AWS -- whether SQS, SNS, SES, RDS (MySQL/PostgreSQL), etc.

2. In many cases, rows are missing. A table has a million rows. Ten are deleted. It's not compacted. So it's not a simple size lookup. A lot of this depends on how the data is stored/indexed. That's something which is naively pretty slow, but easily optimized.

Apple was instrumental in splitting ARM from Acorn and, I seem to recall, owned 40% of it at launch. (It used an ARM chip in the Newton.) However, Apple owning ARM might well encourage other companies to use Intel or other chips....
