Drive a car with a very stiff and/or difficult clutch.

The difference between a Honda Civic or Miata clutch and something like a Jeep is pretty wide. I've only driven a handful of manuals but I have pulled a muscle in my left leg from driving an YJ Jeep. Stop and go will wear down your leg real fast in that. Not a great feeling to be limping around a bit the rest of the next day or two.

Only happened once in the 10k I drove it but my leg frequently got very tired after crawling traffic.
Pretty much any engine that has an ECU I would suspect.

The oldest car I have that has an ECU is from 1987 (although judging the fuel efficiency on that car when it was new is a bit hard since the engine has been completely reworked since then -- including an aftermarket ECU, new injectors, new ignition etc which makes the car a tad more fuel efficient than my 2012 car)
"Changing the syntax of scripts managing devices and services is hardly an improvement by itself."

That's not what has been done.

systemd unit files are not "scripts". They are declarative configuration files, usually orders of magnitude smaller than the initscripts, network scripts, etc. that they replace. The Apache unit file on RHEL7 is ~17 lines long, and it replaced an initscript that was a couple hundred lines long.

It is a difference of both degree and kind.
Based in AU I'm further away than that by latency. As a fastmail web interface or mobile app user I don't notice the latency.

CDN for unique items like mail probably doesn't offer tons of gain for the additional complexity.

This used to be the case with fuel injected engines from 80's to 00's but because of new regulations current ECUs might, again, inject fuel while coasting just to keep the catalytic converter warm and operational.

The amount is obviously negligible but it's quite crazy to spend more fuel in order to reduce emissions :)
What are you talking about? The methods worked perfectly well.
You should, it's awesome :)
Same here in Lithuania - everyone learns and takes exams with manual transmission or they won't be legally allowed to drive stick. Same with "eco" driving - staying in higher RPMs or downshifting to overtake a car is a no no. But after passing driver's exam most people buy automatic - it's just so much more convenient in the city.

I would rage in traffic if I had to do "clutch, neutral, cluth, first gear" mantra for 20 minutes to move a little in traffic - releasing break pedal to crawl a bit and then pressing it again to stop is a god send after driving manual for 6 years. :)

Manual is good for 300+ bhp weekend cars, not daily use cars.

It has always been a thing. The original C# design was to take the C switch statement as is, but tighten it up to avoid crazy stuff like Duff's device, and to make non-obvious implicit things explicit.

Consequently, C# requires that control flow provably cannot reach the end of any non-empty case block (to avoid implicit fallthrough that normally happens in C, Java etc). Normally this means that you must use `break` (or something else that transfers control, like `continue`, `throw` or `return`). But fallthrough is actually useful sometimes, and `goto case` provides you with a way to request it explicitly - and then ramps it power up a notch, because why not?

Amusingly, this is something that C doesn't have, even though its case labels are true labels (allowing for Duff's device and similar tricks). If you want to goto them, you need to add an explicit named label there.

10% weekly growth on $1M / ARR sounds way too far fetched. I doubt you can sustain that rate for any reasonable amount of time on that base.

It means 10% weekly for 1 year, ~52 weeks, would give you $207M / ARR. Even in current climate, you can have successful IPO at $100M / ARR. Even the best companies of our time didn't grow that fast.
It's funny, I just got a new car (manual, of course) and it has "rev-matching" so when you shift down a gear it automatically heel-toes (basically a throttle blip) which means there's not much engine braking going on during downshifts.

Granted when driving quickly and dropping a cog or two to overtake a slow moving vehicle it's great. Slowing down for traffic? Not so good.

Took some getting used to changing down gear and not feeling the car slow.

EDIT: To clarify the folks downvoting me here's and example of how it works:

1) You're in 6th gear doing 60mph.
2) You come up to a tractor doing 25mph.
3) You brake and slow, as you do you compound change from 6th gear down to 3rd.
4) As you place the car into 3rd the ECU gives the engine some extra throttle and match the speed of the gearbox. You can physically see the revs rise BEFORE you release the clutch.
5) You release the clutch and don't feel any transmission shunt or immediate engine braking.

This reduces wear and makes it smoother.

Yes I know it was a speech.

There is always a clash amongst cultures. But the alt-right's thesis is that it is related to immigrants.

Instead of making a case against immigrants by taking one example after the next of integration problems, you need to generalise your claims to ensure that they are consistent. Without requiring consistency of argument, you can basically claim anything you like.
The only thing that has put me off Fastmail very recently, and indeed I moved to another provider (Runbox), is the loss of their Family plans.

Requiring three accounts now for instance would cost $150 a year minimum for the size I would have needed and unfortunately because I needed to rearrange my old grandfathered plan to re-organise accounts I'd have lost my previous plan.

Basically, Fastmail is good (very good), and you can still do admin type stuff by creating your master account first and creating your 'users' under it, but do look around if you are price conscious.

NOTE - I know you can't please everyone and that doesn't detract from the fact Fastmail was extremely stable, fast and had excellent customer support so don't take this as a 'Fastmail is bad' type post, because it isn't. Just look around and make sure you're getting the rid price/value for your needs.
Come to think of it: the car I drove in 1988 cut fuel when coasting and it had a rather unrefined ECU mapping that would cause somewhat hard transitions from the fuel-cut state to feeding the engine go-juice.

It's typical to omit locking while the transmission is cold, some transmissions may not lock the first gear, or may not lock at lower revs, or at slower speeds, but generally the lock is there and it's just software that controls locking. You can rather safely assume that on most modern cars and in general conditions the torque converter will lock starting from the first gear.
Finally somebody said it! I am completely with you on this one!

UI/UX is very very outdated. Mobile app is... a nuisance. The overall responsiveness is very mediocre.
wow, you are incorrect in almost every statement. I get it, you like easy driving without worrying about clutch and gears, but not everybody is like that.

I would never want automatic transmission for my car, it's inferior, expensive, less fun and car has no way knowing details of road situation I am facing and choices I am about to make. And I am far from petrolhead person FYI.

Another point - I don't know a single person who has automatic gearbox in their car, not even soccer moms.

Automatic gearbox is faster, and probably better for complete novice drivers so they can focus more on situation on the road. That's it. It is more costly, will wear engine faster, removes some connection between driver and car (includes fun of driving, but not only). Plus it creates desperate and sometimes dangerous drivers when they sit in a car with manual, which will almost inevitably happen.
The real question is: Will it save more money in gas than it costs extra to buy?
Seconding Fastmail. Moved earlier this year from gmail to Fastmail. Also using my own domain now instead of @provider.com.

Never been happier. Their Webmail UI is less cluttered and more intuitive than Gmail (at least to me - but I'm not a huge webmail user anyways).

Well worth the money.
I've driven manuals most of my life. Before stop/start came along, I was in the habit of just holding the clutch pedal down while stopped at intersections or in traffic. Anecdotally, I think most drivers do the same.

Now, when driving stop/start equipped vehicles, I always try to use it. But in a manual, it does takes more thinking and effort and I wonder how many casual drivers actually bother.

The thing is, most of the time you don't really know how long you're going to be stopped for. Will that light take 3 seconds or 30? A manual makes you decide whether to stop the engine, but an automatic just does it every time without having to think about it or perform extra steps. (although, you can override it if you know it's going to be a short stop by just pressing the brake lightly.)

Except for the offset trackpad and keyboard to support the 10-key numpad. It's not just ugly, it's not comfortable or usable. I know I'm not alone on this.

I agree.
> Predicting the likely response to this, of course, we get into the (surprisingly hard to accurately work out) question of what proportion of crimes are committed by people of various races

I find this argument (the one you are referring to) to be spurious. We don't calculate the number of rapes committed by men and there is no subsequent societal bias against men as criminal by default (or suspect by default). Not to mention the mindset leads to a feedback loop: "Of the bugs found during team code reviews, 50% were in Bob's code" will lead to everyone going through Bob's code with a fine tooth comb - and finding yet more bugs, while Stacy's code never gets a second glance regardless of its quality[1].

Agree.

I think the issue is that people have different perspectives on integration.

European here, only ever owned manual cars, had about eight cars in my lifetime. Never needed to replace a clutch, mostly a mix of urban and rural driving. My yearly mileage has varied from 25,000 miles a year to around 8,000 now.

It helps that I actually know how to drive and not burn the fuck out of a clutch too I'd imagine. You see very dumb people in my country using their clutch to hold their car stationary on a hill, what the hell that is all about I'll never know.
That's in the US. In other countries things may be more secure. In Russia I barely can make any changes by phone because they verify so much info. Forwarding will certainly require an in-person visit to the carrier office.

So I guess it's better to leave the choice to the user, with an appropriate warning text.

Boom! You nailed it buddy! We are having exactly the same problem!
Easy here are three simple exercises:

1 - define a class in Java and a struct in C# then measure how many bytes it takes.

2 - define an array data structure in Java and C# (with value types), for graph navigation, and check which allows for cache friendly algorithms

3 - try to implement an image codec in Java using vector indexes vs the same algorithm using pointers and SIMD in C#

Why do you think Oracle is adding those features to Java 10? Just to keep themselves busy?
That explains all the brake lights, then. In a manual, you have a lot more control and it is much less necessary to put your foot on the brake to merely slow down a little. When those brake lights fire off, it causes chain reaction braking.

Top 10 Countries with Most Powerful Militaries in the World
Yah, this can make an overwhelming difference in the long run. I used to drive semi-regularly between Wisconsin and Minnesota, a stretch of about 280 miles; others in my family would make the same trip with the same car during the same times of year, and my mileage per tank was always significantly different, and we couldn't figure out why initially.

Turns out they used cruise control for most of the stretch, which I never used, and it was often the difference of 3-5 gallons over the course of the trip. Not a huge deal, but $4 gas did influence it a bit.

To me, this seems closer to Arrow's Learning by Doing theory. He had the quite intuitive idea that unit costs fall with total historic output and found some empirical evidence for this with statistics from world war 2 factories. The future benefits here are supply-side (productivity) related and often captured by the specific producer.

Keynes' ideas have been adapted to a range of different forms, but are more about circumstances where the economy is in a deep recession and there is some restriction preventing the economy from utilising all its resources. Here debt financed spending may have demand-side benefits by stimulating yet more demand. This only works at the aggregate economy level, so Elon would have to launch a lot of satellites to benefit from it!

There's always a semi-automatic transmission. In my Lexus IS 350 I can set a low gear before overtaking for that "instant throttle response".

You're right; it's typical bullshit by JetBrains shills. Eclipse has SWT with native UI widgets and IntelliJ is and will always be a sloggy Swing application.
Well, those statements need to be qualified because "automatic transmission" is no longer a well defined term now that there are a much larger number of different gearboxes on the market. So saying that "automatic gearboxes" are more fuel efficient is both true and false at the same time.

(For instance, one of my cars has a manual gearbox with an electrohydraulic actuator system and an automatic clutch, operated by flappy paddles. My insurance company says that it is an automatic, while the equivalent of the DMV (correctly) states that it is a manual.)

I drive a manual and I know exactly why it is not fuel efficient: the idiot behind the wheel :-)
That's pretty rich, coming from a company that likes to avoid paying taxes.
I got to San Francisco last October and was due to pickup my "top class" rental car from AVIS. I got to the parked car and noticed it was automatic. I straight away thought this was a mistake and ran upstairs to ask for a manual transmission car. The two ladies before the counter looked all confused and said I would be very lucky to find such car...something like a sports car.

So I spent the next 20 minutes inside the car trying to figure out how I'm going to operate a saloon, automtic (I havent driven before), wrong side of the road on a busy motorway (san fransciso airport is next to the highway)...

By the end of my "training" week...I loved the automatic transmission...It even allowed me to roll my window down, hang my arm out while playing California love by Tupac&DR Dre....American dream?
The major problem of bringing in external technologies is that they take over your architecture, not that they might introduce bugs.

There is no catch-all architecture, so there is guaranteed to be some impedance mismatch between the expectations of your project, and the provisions of the 3rd party tool. Heaven help you if you need the facilities of multiple architectures, and try to marshal and connect disparate datatypes and calling/threading assumptions together.

As programmers, we work with general purpose programming languages. Many project-specific problems are not difficult to solve in a custom manner, given somebody with enough experience and hindsight to know how to write such a forward-looking thing robustly. It is a serious consideration whether or not to defer your architecture to generic external sources that were not written with your unique needs in mind. And even if you do, it is by far a best practice to ensure that such things live behind an application-specific abstraction separating out your project-specific code from entangling 3rd party code, allowing you to perform the inevitable migration to a different platform later.

Consider the conservative position, and what strategy would work for conserving what is important to them. Any sort of compromise is a long term losing strategy, so of course they'll block progressive moves if they're capable. I'm not aware of any real trade ever being offered, something like: we want full on no joke equality of outcome for every flavor of the rainbow, and in exchange we'll give you the abolition of federal income tax.

Imagine if someone demanded you eat a sandwich made of human waste, and then they got upset when you refused to compromise and only eat half of it.
Google has simply gotten too big and too impersonal. If they were smaller, only did one or two things, and locked you out of those things because of a ToS violation it'd be frustrating but it wouldn't be catastrophic. Similarly if they just had more humans interacting with their customers, then incidents like this would get resolved in a more humane way (but can you really do that at Google scale?).

We live in the era of tech giants owning vast swathes of worldwide markets because they got there first and developed proprietary IP to make it work. Which they deserve plenty of credit and have been rewarded richly for but I would prefer to see the pendulum swing back at this point to businesses which have a more personal touch. Fewer giants, more mom'n'pop shops which might not ever make anyone a billionaire but would create jobs for people who interact with other people.

Customer service, consulting, service businesses built on open source IP, humans running the machine--that is one possible future. The other is a couple of tech giants controlling everything and the machine running the humans. I know which one I'd rather live in. One change we can all make to promote this is simply limiting the business we do with companies that make it hard for you to get in touch with a person. If the market starts to value the human touch more then these companies will improve or be replaced.

Your opinion does not need to be a personal attack and it certainly does not need to upset anyone in any way. If it does, you and I are clearly doing something wrong.

It was Hillary's to lose but the D's did have 2 terms which made it tougher. Nonetheless, Trump gave her fodder daily. She lost to Obama when he was hardly known. Nearly lost to an old and little known socialist atheist/Jew. Email scandal. Benghazi. Whitewater. Pay to play laundering / vast personal riches. All the scandals from the 90s. Deplorables. Saying blacks and Muslims can't succeed regardless of circumstance / "professional never do wells".

Her supporters act like she was squeaky clean. When I chatted with them they had hardly no knowledge of her or Bill's checkered past.

I've heard people say she lost because she's a woman. That's like the QB throwing 4 interceptions and saying they lost because the kicker missed a field goal.
