If you can't take the heat, etc. It's silly to say "think about whether you would say this to someone in person or not" -- that's the whole point, you're NOT saying it to someone in person, you can say what you want without the usual repercussions. It's ultimately a good thing, even if some people get hurt. And since when do you have a right not to be upset? But you do have a right to keep off the internet if you can't handle it, not to post pictures of yourself and your real name, not to base your life completely around the internet and social media. I keep it anonymous, like the old days of the internet. I have pretty bare social media profiles, mostly as a big rolodex. If I post something else, opinions, what have you, I do it anonymously. Why does everyone need everybody else to know exactly who and where they are and everything about themselves? Because they think they're special and that others care. And then they get trolled. And so it goes.
-That only works for children; adults have too large a moment of inertia for this technique to be effective.

Seriously, his (valid, IMHO) point was that driving eco-friendly was all well and good when conditions allowed (A distinction not being made by the training manual) - but when interacting with other drivers, accelerating slowly, for instance, would often mean you could never (legally) enter a road where you're required to yield.

The Norwegian definition of yield being that you should in no way impede on the operation of the car with right of way - in theory, if you're entering a road with right-of-way and a driver already on it has to ease up on the throttle pedal even for an instance to maintain safe distance, you're breaking the law.)

Yes, but now people are going for an immediate overcorrection.

Tossing Brandon Eich out of Mozilla is the type of behavior that liberals probably should reconsider. I do think he was wrong, but is he really an evil man who deserved get kicked out of his company. I don't believe so.

Is the University of Toronto professor who is fighting to not use preferred gender pronouns a terrible person who liberals should hate? No, I don't think so. Especially when his argument is that it's compelled speech and violation of his charter rights.

Are the white supremacists and other racists who have come out of the woodwork to support trump bad people. Yes. They are. They need to be opposed.

It's not killing babies.

That being said, it's completely understandable that it is a moral issue for people. They believe it is wrong. That's not a viewpoint that makes you a bad person.

This is simply not true once driving a manual becomes second nature. Cupholders work to hold it when you need both hands.

Replying in reverse order to your questions:

With the debug_on checked moved outside the loops there will be no performance difference. The point of the loop is to emulate paths that are called many times and can't be optimised by the compiler, for example, having the debug check inside a different function that does something else.

I'm not sure if it's the check itself or bad branch prediction that caused it, it doesn't matter for my case, as it's still a cost. It also happens when I use GNU extensions (__builtin_expect) to mark the test as unlikely to be true.

An often lost fact in automatic vs. stick-shift discussions is that in practice automatic transmission causes much heavier wear on the brakes of the car.

This is because with a stick-shift you can just gear down when going downhill or before a foreseen stop and let the engine do most of the breaking for you. You then only use the brakes to bring the car to a full-stop on the last couple meters. This gets you much better mileage on your brake disks and pads. Can't do that with an automatic.

Plus it's more fuel efficient.
Not sure why I got downvoted here.

It actually blips the throttle. It's not the syncho, trust me.

http://www.minif56.com/forum/353-mini-cooper-f56-forum/7010-...

It's not the first car to have it either, and there is actually PLENTY of reasons why you'd need to blip or heel-toe when driving even in a car with a synco'd gearbox.

I know the feeling. I live in the UK and travel to Germany regularly. Most retailers only accept the German version of a debit card. Luckily most supermarkets now accept credit cards, but small shops almost never do.

Leads to me avoiding small shops when I'm there, not really sure if that's the desired effect.

The problem is definitions.

> if someone's actions aren't depriving another of life or liberty

This requires definitions of what "life" and "liberty" mean. Once you choose these definitions you must ensure they are consistently applied to all your arguments.

> Gay people getting married deprives no one of anything.

What does "deprive" mean?

If we continued this discussion debating the definitions, the key would be ensuring they are applied consistently to all other claims by both parties. This is practically endless.

Maybe we need a new dictionary that is more specific and uses examples. Just like Stack Overflow Documentation - they realised that the key to good documentation is examples.

I like doing cocaine. The Government sees fit to make it illegal - despite the fact I'm a high functioning user. [hypothetical]

We already have plenty of examples where the government stops us doing stuff that might be fun "for our own good". I'm more on the fence about gambling than drugs - it seems like the start of a slippery slope that would negatively affect raiding guilds the world over...
Smog is a real health issue, and US city's are vastly better now. So, IMO it's well worth a tiny bit more global warming.
I would argue that they are unlikely to be "just as fabricated as those macedonian fake news sites", because the come from random individuals rather than weird "news outlets" with a business model.

Granted, the identities of those random individuals could be fake, the reports could theoretically be orchestrated etc., but unless you have proof for this, that's just a conspiracy theory.
I use engine braking in this way, but I've often wondered how much additional wear this is putting on the clutch. Given that brake pads/discs are cheap, and a clutch is not, maybe in the long run this doesn't actually work out cheaper?
By holding down the clutch pedal, you are literally destroying the clutch. When I was in the driving school, I was taught to never do this. If you are stopping, even for just few seconds, put in the neutral. It becomes automatic movement in a short time.

Few years ago, I had colleagues who came from a certain foreign country and were not used to manual transmission. They got a company car with manual transmission. The clutch was burned in one month.
Its more likely to be going downhill because everyone is jumping on the latest hipster bandwagon. NoSQL is a perfect example where many people / projects would be far better off learning about how to use a relation database efficiently rather than adding a new trendy tech to their CV while having limited experience in that new database (most of the projects I hear about are storing their data on a single server).
> For example, the trans bathroom thing. I legitimately see both sides on that

Really? I don't. It's a weird thing to care so much about.

> In some cases (like abortion) conservatives have their heart in the right places

Do they? I guess you could argue that cruel laws like the one Pence signed in Illinois are the only recourse they have for what they consider a moral battle.

I'm not sure how you can explain away fighting abortion while simultaneously fighting sexual education, contraceptive use, and welfare for those people who choose to keep the baby when they have no real hope of raising it well without help.
Even if Google is staffed by humans (it is), they have to act in-line with their job description. So long as their internal policies are the way they are, Google the company will lack humanity. And you can't change the internal policies because that's against shareholder interests.
No, they are unwilling to consider the merits of another point of view. They are doing exactly what they are preaching against. This is why Trump is president. Dismissing everything you disagree with. No point in listening, no point in thinking. You already know what the other side has to say, right? So you listen with half ear and wait patiently to tell them how wrong they are.
The problem is also congestion. Manual trasmission is great when there's not a lot of traffic, but it's a pain on your morning commute in LA/SF/NY/... In Europe you either live on the countryside or use public transport. Comparably few people are stuck every morning on the highway on their way to work (still a few though).
> Purely from logic, your claim has to be false: Imagine a humanoid robot sitting in your driver's seat, driving your manual transmission car, its robot arm doing the shifting exactly as a human would. Your manual car has been turned into an automatic and it is not less efficient.

You're forgetting a very important factor: the automatic transmission can only respond to the drivers actions. Unlike the driver it has no knowledge of future plans. It will happily shift up 2 seconds before I hit the brakes because it has no idea I'm planning to take a left turn in 20 meters.

That is a bonus!

Similar story: My father (and now, my brother) had a 1963 pickup truck that he always left unlocked. He said he never worried about anyone stealing it because he figured most folks couldn't drive it. Not only was it a manual, but it was a 3-speed manual you shifted from the column, so it looked like an automatic inside but yet very much wasn't.
The parent poster is correct and it's a good assertion. I'm doing the same thing, even though I'm using Windows as a base operating system, primarily for convenience at this point in time.

Email is very portable if you keep it in a place you control. You're pretty much just paying for a collection and caching service if you use POP3/IMAP and store your important folders locally. That is portable in a couple of hours between hundreds or thousands of different companies who operate standard protocols.

And then there's the possibility of running your own MX with postfix/dovecot etc if you really want.
A simple google search will show you how often SJWs lie about harassment to get attention and further their cause. The only one I know for a fact post-Trump that was fake was a student from University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Google it. It's hard to prove stuff like this fake, but if you read what the people claim, a lot of them really seem like fantasies. Almost cartoonish in their descriptions, as if a truck from the 1950s pulls up full of good ol' boys or something. But I'm sure many of them are true. I also know you can easily find a video on youtube of a man being savagely beaten and having his car stolen for being an alleged Trump supporter. All Trump supporters are being discriminated against in pretty ugly ways (I'm not one of them, by the way). It's just a sad time for us. Everyone is so extreme on both sides.
> Abortion is another I see both sides on and believe compromise is the best way forward.

How would such a compromise look like?

Right, but this is already your personal judgement. For example I personally feel that the conservative stance on abortion is cruel and creates more suffering.
Wow, do you have any kind of evidence for this? look up "pied piper" in the emails, then you will know what went (badly) down.
I'm not really sure what they are paying me for anymore.

I do analysis, planning, testing, development, client presentations and when I raise this concern with my TL I always get the 'cross-functional team' argument.
I've always driven manual transmission and still think that. I often find myself steering with one hand through corners to shift up in time. And I could observe the same with others.

Of course it doesn't feel dangerous if you always do it that way. But that doesn't mean that it isn't. But as there are probably no studies for that it's just speculation.
That’s why you use a trustworthy ISP.

My current ISP, for example, is actually a local company providing datacenter colocation and consulting services to the state’s government and local and national companies, but they also run a small ISP as side business.

But what I'm the most proud is the generating of quotes. So I passed a csv and then, the quotes are generating almost automatically (regarding the author and keyword). Make it really simple to generate 100 quotes+.
They can go that way, because the technology is far enough. A traditional automatic is not suitable for sporty driving. Not only because it may choose the wrong gear at the wrong time.
In racing, the balance of the car is highly important. Making an uncontrolled shift within a corner, can spin off the car because of the associated weight shift. You counter that in traditional transmissions with double clutching and heal-and-toe, where you get the rev in the transmission about right, to guarantie a smooth shift and a stable car.
Ferrari and the like managed through timed automated gas bursts and other technologies to conquer the effect in automatic transmissions.
I (and many others) do. After a traffic light on a large intersection you will have to (or at least should) shift to second gear with most cars before you're clear of the intersection.
My previous car automatically engaged engine-breaking when going downhill, when it was appropriate to do so. I also had paddle-shifters if I wanted to do it myself. Your statement that cars with automatic transmissions can't engine brake is wrong.
No free lunch.

In a manual you are burning fuel when the clutch is disengaged to keep the engine turning over. With the engine engaged you steal from momentum which lowers fuel use.

The mid point of keeping the engine engaged and adding enough fuel to reach your desired stopping point once the RPM enters the same range as an idling engine is actually most efficient.
> public perception of gay marriage

Although Obama was opposed to gay marriage when elected, I will say that this is an issue that the progressives have driven into the public consciousness.

But Trump will be the first elected President to support gay marriage when entering office.

There are far more protests about police violence against blacks now.
There is something similar in India called netbanking. Typically, the site redirects you to a payment gateway, which then redirects you to the bank's site. You enter your username/password only on the bank's site and complete the transaction. It is used quite frequently due to convenience and security.

When I moved to Oz and tried to buy something online, I was quite taken aback that I was being asked to enter bank login details on 3rd party sites directly. Felt completely unsafe, so haven't used it yet.

There's lots of minor faults that don't reflect how people actually drive.

For example if you are turning right and waiting for oncoming traffic to clear, then someone pauses and flashes their lights to let you turn, if you then turn that would be a minor fault in Driving Test conditions - where you are supposed to ignore the driver inviting you to turn and sit like a diddy.

Also you are allowed 15 minor faults before failure, which is quite a lot really.
Hillary's problem is that she's just not likable, in the sense that people are not going to get excited to vote for Hillary.

Obama got people excited. He had a message he got out to people and they responded in a huge way. I'm really not sure what Hillary's was.

Trump got a different set excited. Sure some are deplorable. A lot are just republicans. A lot are people who just want their lives to be as good as they used to be, or their parents were.

1. Don’t mess around with Google or any company that you simply can’t live without.

I know a better rule: Organize your life and data so you don't depend on a company.

Many people forget that Google isn't some sort of official service provided by the government but a public for-profit company that's largely guided by shareholder value maximization. While there's no doubt that the latter has big advantages over the former in many areas, there's a lack of public education on this matter. People (unfortunately including me) trust Google with so many kinds of personal data, it's scary.

Wake me up the next time a 5-line shell script in Bash that uses only standard tools and runs off of any default Debian sells with a license cost of $20 (only) -- you know, for the 5 lines, not anything else -- and anyone pays it.

Doesn't matter what it does. It is literally impossible to sell even $20 worth of the solution the person advocates. Go ahead: link me to anywhere in the web selling a 5-line bash file without anything else. I'm waiting.

You can do a lot in 5 lines, too. lalalala. waiting. While I wait I think I'll make some money coding something people actually pay for. /s

Seriously though, while the author's point might stand in many sys admin and even systems integration roles - most of the software world actually pays for deliverables: the clearest example of which is consumers doing so. People would rather spend 20 hours cursing, and then give up, rather than pay for a systems integration script that generalizes and solves their problem. It's what the market demands. This article really would make sense if it came from the person paying -- but it doesn't. nobody who is paying actually says the words the article chose for the title. Yes, you are paid to code.
