Ah, I understand what you're saying now. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree, then.

I am much more interested in predictability in my code than I am about reordering arguments in mature codebases.

Lots of languages guarantee expression ordering to follow precedence and associativity rules, and I've never heard anyone say that it was a problem to refactor their code as a result.

Whereas I am 100% certain that there are lots of codebases where this is a ticking timebomb with developers unintentionally relying on the order their compiler decides to evaluate expressions in. And it will blow up when, not if, the GCC devs find some micro-optimization and decide to reverse things on them. And that's not just a problem for them, it's a problem for everyone who relies on their code.

Perhaps not the biggest reason behind the refusal but the fact that it is mentioned warrants discussion. Che Guevara is said to have travelled to the Congo to train Guerrilla militia there and stopped when instead of focussing on training, the people focused on voodoo magic to protect them. A similar phenomena was witnessed in South Africa with the Marikina massacre of 2012, where miners believed that herbs provided by a witchdoctor would make them invisible.

The best approach to such situations is, as the organisation is following, to educate the people. It might be hard with low literacy levels but it's possible, especially for a cash studded organisation such as theirs.

Some places can - if you have huge gardens and areas you're free to make use of. Many can't.

Norwegian farming policy is focused on maintaining near-independence in the food supply because the British embargo during the Napoleonic wars in the early 1800's is still seared in the collective consciousness. E.g. every Norwegian primary school child will go through the very long, very tedious poem "Terje Vigen" about a man who tried to evade the British embargo by taking a small boat to Denmark to get food to feed his starving family.

Starvation happened despite farming most of the available land.

The concern of local food production rose to prominence again during World War II, when German occupation meant strict rationing, which led to "fun" food innovation such as flour substitute made from bark, as growing vegetables etc. in your back garden simply doesn't produce enough for most people to sustain a family.
Like they say the best camera is the one you have with you.

Mobile cameras and social media have completely transformed consumer photography with selfies and spur of moment pictures taking over from an era of old style 'event' pictures that required intention.

You can't take selfies with your DSLR or even compacts, or lug them around for casual spur of moment shots.

Leaving aside this PR piece for iPhone 7 marketing the growing quality of mobile phone cameras have already long impacted the lower end camera market.

DSLRs are limited to pros and enthusiasts, with mirroless sharing some spoils in that market. The bulk of the market that would buy a lower to mid end camera now has little reason to.

Depth of field or 'bokeh' for those lovely isolation shots is not possible given physical sensor and lens constraints. Apple's dual camera approach with the iPhone 7 seeks to change it and the early shots do look interesting but also a bit artifical. Not the natural flowing isolation you would get from a full frame sensor for portaits at 80 or even 50mm.
> Did NYT have a look at the bokeh samples?

Yes, but this is only a solution if your library is only targeting windows.

If you want users of any standards-compliant C++ implementation to be able to use your library today, you'll still have to go with c-abi symbols or ship the sources. All other worakrounds are vendor-specific and not part of the standard.

[Of course even objects containing only C symbols are not portable across platforms either, but at least the C ABI/calling convention is more or less strictly defined for any given target platform. Assuming no other platform-specific stuff like glibc is used]

While incorporating in the U.S. can make many things much easier, it also comes with long-term legal and tax implications. You should think carefully about whether it’s best for your business and consult advisors as necessary.

If even a simple majority of the calories you consume come from the produce aisle, you are in a tiny elite minority.

Even then, where it was produced doesn't matter much, if it wasn't grown in Mexico or shipped in from somewhere more exotic, much of the human labor was likely done by migrant workers from Mexico anyway.

Let's not pretend that the working conditions for the unmechanized portions of most produce-related jobs are anything but appalling.

To put a fine point on it, I don't want any part of my quality of life to be put on the backs of a workforce outside the middle class (or a foreign equivalent through trade)

----

The question is – is your goal replacing all food production with foreign wage-slaves? Are you holding up the current American market for "unsubsidized" produce as a shining beacon to be emulated? If you look into it, you realize far too much of it exploits the desperate and poor and creates shitty situations everywhere it goes. Proper subsidies and market regulations could mean that you could be proud to be a part of the food economy instead of feeling like a 21st century colonialist.
Respectively, the tax code knows no ethics. I pay exactly how much tax I legally owe when I legally owe it. I have no responsibility to pay a penny more than legally obligated. Congress created the S Corp and the IRS created the loophole that allows this particular tax avoidance scheme. If they wanted to close it they would.

No, I really don't. I don't want three lines instead of one line of code. And I don't want two named variables leaking into my scope. (I could encapsulate the block with {} here, but if print returned a value that I wanted to capture, then I couldn't do that.)

Congratulation Patrick. This is a great news for Stripe, Japan and the world !

You just made me discover Atlas (I must have lived under a rock last year) and I'm really impressed by the idea. It is not great, it is huge !

I quickly looked through the Q&A and the first thing that strikes me is that the effective cost is not clear. Ok 500$ entry cost, but there are many other costs like bank, taxes, IRS, 125$ yearly for the agent, etc. Most of these costs aren't even clearly specified. Thus it's actually like an offer to buy a cat in a bag.

The strength of stripe is its simplicity and clarity. You know upfront what it will cost you. There isn't any hidden cost.

So Patrick, if you can have some influence, please help making Atlas as simple and clear as Stripe.
You lost me at the last paragraph. Could you elaborate on what you mean by local means of production?
Sure, but there's absolutely no way to get such numbers in a statistically valid fashion without many years worth of statistics since fatal collisions / mile driven is such a low number. And since vendors push new software every few months, those numbers won't be available at all.

But you're right that people will choose their cars based on this. But the information they will have will just be rumour, innuendo, fear-mongering click bait journalism and other sources of FUD. It's going to be ugly.

"to educate the people"

It's not 'reading and arithmetic' that's the problem.

It's a basic lack of intelligent social organization across the board.

It's the thousand little bits of behaviour that make you 'civilized' vis-a-vis other cultures. I'm weary of the using the word 'civilized' because it sounds a little colonialist, but when people turn to 'magic spells' for many things ... you know there really are some deep issues. And it goes far, far beyond magic spells.

People totally lack an understanding of human nature when they address these issues.

'Inequality' is not the problem in Africa.

Africa has ample natural resources, if they acted in an intelligent and organized manner, there's no reason they couldn't be as rich as anywhere else.

It's a million little things summarized in a very clumsy way by the word 'ethnicity' or 'culture'.

Again - trying to avoid a completely condescending perspective, but the only measuring stick we have for our degree of civilization is ourselves.

Do these buttons really work? Like, all the time?
At some street crossings here in Berlin I get the impression that they're just some placebo to limit your impatience and make you less prone to cross with a red light.

That's probably because the buttons here don't have any tactile feedback. They're touch sensitive and won't make any clic and the light is just a rare occurrence you might find in some of them (and it's completely invisible during the day, if it's there). You really feel like you don't have any way to know if they're even connected to the streetlight system.

Every time I touch them I always try to see whether they're making the light turn green faster and I never ever have that feeling. One should probably approach the thing more scientifically in order to have some sort of closure about them.
Rust isn't finely tuned either, it just has memory safety (finely) turned up to 11.

I wouldn't call C++'s design organic, just severly constrained by backwards compatibility. It is finely tuned, but the results are not even close to an ideal that didn't consider C.
Finely tuned doesn't imply perfection.
The same are used in Ireland. Does anyone know why they choose to use these, as opposed to the same as the UK?

True, you didn't. But you did say it maximized elegance, which means you think a Forth in Forth cannot be more elegant.

In practice, some people adore Forth. Most do not. Some people adore Prolog. Most do not. Relatively more people adore Lisp than either Forth or Prolog.

Such elegance is therefore in the eye of the beholder, not some god.

Forth's elegance is how it well it matches up to most hardware. The inner loop of a Forth interpreter can be as little as a few dozen lines of assembly, and its eval not much longer.

The British (actually England, Wales and Northern Island) have the design covered by law (TSRGD 2016). Scotland have minor change in the regulations.

The sounder (aka bleeper) and device (aka tactile) are for visually impaired pedestrians. In Scotland, you can also have a voice telling you the vehicles has a red (e.g. Vehicles heading North on Main Street have been given a red signal).

Systems in other counties have advantages and disadvantages (IMHO), lack of a clear standard compared to background noise. Too complex, so problems in maintenance. However some difference in sounds give a better indication to pedestrians on the start/middle/end of crossing time.

Gave you an upvote there. I have gotten taken advantage of - and embarrassingly, a bit too late in my life to use my age as an explanation... All the clients I've had before this first bad one were generally decent; the obvious idiots were obvious.

The second time around, for this nonprofit, I grokked he was a full blown psychopath (although not quickly enough) - the people who had been working with him for the previous 5 years had kept giving him the benefit of the doubt wrt his horrible interpersonal style and behaviour. They got me sucked into the mess because I trusted them over my gut.

In the dust-up over matters this summer, this clown kept claiming he was the victim to an outrageous extent despite the fact it was his actions that instigated the blow up of the organization. People with anti-social personality disorders are very good at social manipulation / PR / etc and it's difficult to get bystanders to really understand the whole thing w/o a lot of explanation, which bystanders are not terribly interested in listening to - e.g. "which person is the real victim?" I think a key factor in these sorts of events is that the scammer etc sets the situation up (or makes plans to) to be able to successfully play the victim from the outset when needed.

The police should have been contacted. "Poor me" talk from a 22 year old ... it all sounded really fake. There is something in the way language is "used" that triggers my warning bells. Then again, I am biased as I have been through this myself first hand in dealing with a 57 year old. I can now see how twisty his use of language was and how glossing over details and omitting facts can guide the reader into believing what is being said - not outright lies, but manipulation of the reader's emotions.
As I said in the comments above, the single most effective measure for reducing accidents would be checking for alcohol- or drug-influenced drivers. Those cause much more accidents than mechanical failures.

Yet even though "alcohol-locks" have been mature tech for five years, no car manufacturer nor politician dares to make it default, simply because there would be public outrage.

Also, stuff like brake pads or tires completely worn down already comes with basic safety features: both will cause the car to make relatively loud, screeching/rumbling ominous noises.
Disable card view (which is the default for new installations) + choose smaller text size would achieve more or less the same. I have already gone thru few iterations of compacting the UI and I'm afraid I can't squeeze it anymore :(
>Not to mention the smaller metal lozenge at the top which looks like a button but does nothing, so people press both surfaces in confusion.

If you'd ever touched one of these (or read the article properly), you'd know it provides a tactile mirror to the sound the button is playing, telling deaf people when to cross.

If I'm listening to music I often stick my thumb over it even though I'm not deaf, so I don't have to keep looking at the light to see when I can cross. The top of the button case is just the right size to rest your palm on it and allow your thumb to drop down and rest on the popper plate.

Ever used Antergos or Manjaro?
So, do you have examples of that or anything?

Because otherwise I can just proclaim that GNOME, Unity and KDE are polished and then we're at opinion vs. opinion.

I mean, I don't even really think that Unity is terribly polished, but someone else might (e.g. the commenter you replied to), and then your opinion is not any better than their opinion.

I know a lot of people use Postgres (myself), and I was looking at the source recent, it seems pretty high quality. Makes it all the more surprising that there aren't really any performance tests.

Reviewing and pulling things in is always hard, though. In other software I highly recommend always breaking up big things into smaller changes if possible, but I don't know if that works well for the conservative release cycles for DBs.

Though maybe the conservative release cycle is what's wrong? Having to do a refactor to implement a feature doesn't mean that you need to do both at once.
Communism or something like it can easily work post-scarcity.

You can't trust human nature to toil away in factories and hard jobs and do so efficiently for 1/2 of waking life.

Make that fraction a lot smaller... say the only people that needed to work on whatever were the ones that actually wanted to... and suddenly communism works. Open source software works and so much of it is done because people just want to do it. Some day automation and efficiency will get to a point where nerds who have interests will end up doing all of the work because it's what they want to do. Imagine a 3d printer capable of making complex metal/plastic/ceramic/electronic/whatever objects. You'd get hordes of people designing and sharing things just because they wanted to. Design a 3d-printer that can print copies of itself (as well as most of the things a person could want) and suddenly a huge chunk of capitalism is just unnecessary.

50 years after the creation of Star Trek, we should be able to at least imagine the Star Trek economy being technically feasible in the not too distant future.
