Anglo societies value art much more than they're willing to fork over cash for. Remove all art and tools, and life would be bleak (no movies, no music, etc), but we're sort of blind to that fact.
There are many questions yet to be answered wrt PoS, but one that I have yet to hear a good explanation for is the initial coin distribution. A blockchain would be mined for a set period of time, and then PoS turned on. A great advantage of PoW is its simplicity. Want some coins? Work.
That code seems needlessly arcane. You can get the same results without resorting to anonymous bitfields:

#define BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO(e) (sizeof(char[(e) ? -1 : 0]))

which, when it fails, results in

error: size of unnamed array is negative

which is no worse than the provided code which results in

error: negative width in bit-field '<anonymous>'

It's worth noting that declaring an array with 0 elements is not allowed in C99. However, using a struct with no named members has undefined behavior in C99 [1].

Edit: You can get around having 0 elements by using

#define BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO(e) (sizeof(char[(e) ? -1 : 1]) - 1)

but you're starting to lose clarity again.
"true" art is antithetical to capitalism

Absolutely not, especially now when the mechanisms of compensation have been democratized so well. Beyond that, Andy Warhol (et al) would be amused to learn that real art and capitalism were conceptual enemies. NB: I'm assuming you're using "antithetical" to mean that their successes are inversely proportional.
I've worked and been a member of union and my experience was much worse.

I mean, you don't have to look any further than the big 3 automakers. I remember watching news reports of workers leaving mid-shift, going to the bar and doing cocaine. For months.

If it wasn't for the union they would have been fired years ago.

I've been livestreaming building a zappa app on twitch.tv/aws ! daysuntilreinvent.com is powered by zappa!

I will say that chalice wasn't meant to copy zappa. Chalice and Zappa both started in Jan of 2016. Zappa has way more features and is a wonderful piece of software.

One thing Chalice does well that I'd love to see in Zappa is automatically figuring out what kind of IAM policy/permissions you need by analyzing the code.
The shittier the shithole the less depreciation there is. Land gains value, houses lose value. A brand new home, with brand new appliances, starts to depreciate quickly - like driving the car off the lot. Once the oven, roof, walls, plumbing, is 10yrs old the 11th year doesn't matter much. There is a threshold of course - if you let the roof cave in and destroy everything inside there's a jump in loss there. Otherwise the longer you can make use of your shitty house, on your appreciating land, the more financially beneficial it will be.

My earliest memory was from 13 months old. It was the second surgery I had on my foot, and I woke up towards the end of the surgery. Apparently anesthesia for small children is quite difficult. I have a couple other very faint memories from 2 and 3 years of age, but none nearly as strong as my first.
The sheer size is almost unimaginable from the perspective of an individual walking around, if the 4 million sq m listed in the article is accurate. For comparison, that means Yiwu is roughly 400x larger than an average Walmart -- and certainly must be much more densely stocked.

I recently visited Seoul's Dongdaemun shopping area and the scale was shocking. It includes dozens of massive, multi-story buildings that span roughly 10 city blocks. When it was built in 1970, it was the largest such market space in Asia. (They claim it is still the largest, but perhaps the distinction is because Yiwu is considered a city.)

If the average city block is ~10k sq m, then 10 blocks with an average of 4 stories per building yields 400k square meters of space.. which is a mere 10% of Yiwu's claimed size -- wow! You could spend weeks walking around Dongdaemun without seeing everything, but the experience was similar to what the article describes Yiwu as -- booth after booth of the same types of mostly wholesale merchandise.
Similarly I find it useful when some little thing is irritating me. I can't remember where I read it, I think it was related to Marcus Aurelius, but basically the idea that when something negative comes up, either say/do something, or let it go.

That person who just cut in line in front of you? Say something, or let it go. That guy on the plane obnoxiously tilting his seat way too far back? Say something or let it go.

As soon as I think that to myself, I let go and feel a wave of indifference and serenity.

These are of course pretty minor examples, but also really common everyday occurrences. Like, practice.
That quote infers the opposite is preferable. I'd rather have a population that strives for their dreams rather than sits back and blames the bourgeois for all their troubles.
I'd like to put forward the pinnacle of this theory: Get a tiny shithole.

Travel trailers are dirt cheap, once they reach a certain age, and they're shitholes, once they reach a certain age. There really isn't much you can do to fix up a really old travel trailer that isn't one of the "collectible" sort (Airstream, mostly, but there are some others with collector value). They don't cost too much to heat/cool, even if poorly insulated, because they're very, very small (a couple hundred square feet). They've also got wheels, so you can drive them south when it gets cold and north when it gets warm.

And, unlike tiny houses, you can park them in most RV parks, which provides the hookups you need to live comfortably (though the older and shittier your trailer is, the fewer parks will take you, but you don't want an expensive and fancy RV park, anyway, as that defeats the purpose of living in a shithole tiny house).

I say all this only half jokingly. I live in a 32 year old Avion travel trailer (one of the collectible sorts, all aluminum and very expensive when new); not quite a shithole, but not exactly pristine, either. I genuinely recommend it for folks who have the freedom to do so.

For a somewhat temperate climate and English speaking, you're probably looking at either the west coast, or (depending on your definition) southern Ontario. For affordable rent, avoid Vancouver and Toronto, but there are plenty of smaller cities that are both nice to live in and (more) affordable. I'm biased toward Victoria - on Vancouver Island, population ~ 350k, about a 90 minute ferry + hour drive from Vancouver. (Of course, "affordable" is relative. It's way cheaper than IE San Francisco, but expensive compared to many other places. Check out rents here: http://www.usedvictoria.com/classifieds/real-estate-rentals)
I recently sold my Delta Unisaw to make room for a CNC milling machine. Something had to go and that was the obvious option. Since then I've been thinking about a replacement for the tablesaw functionality (mainly ripping) that might occupy less space. Router guide tracks are one possible solution.

Any suggestions?
I'm not sure that macro in this submission shows that Go is better.

Neither Go nor C has static assertions, the macro in questions uses clever techniques to implement one in C, but you probably can't do that in Go. So C is more powerful here.

Another example of clever C macro use is implementation of foreach loop (C doesn't have foreach) in linux kernel, here's question about it:

A quick google search shows the answer to your question...
I think you're solving the wrong problem here. Let's start with some math. With your current arrangement, you're losing 3h of productive time a day, 15h each week, and a staggering 750h yearly. That's the equivalent of 18.75 40h workweeks of lost productivity. Pause for a moment and consider what you could do with that time.

If you feel your current employer is compensating you fairly for that sacrifice, then you likely have money to spend on a car service, use your commute time to work or study and still come out ahead.

If your compensation is not inline with the sacrifice you're making, it's time to start looking for a different job. There are plenty of remote gigs for full-stack java devs. Start looking for one of those.
You don't know where he lives though. He could live close to rural areas which might be a big problem.

The burden of being a minority in rural areas is that anything you do is magnified and generalized for all people in that group. If someone locally commits a crime they can say its a one time thing but if a person of color/minority commits a crime, it literally spreads across a small town and generalized simply because rural areas don't often come into contact with minorities.

Thus is the burden of being a minority in rural America.

Getting your app installed is simply a matter of not sucking and luck.
The macro isn't the complicated part in the OP (`e` just gets substituted with whatever the argument is). The definition the macro generates is (for most cases, needlessly) complicated, but that has nothing to do with macros or the preprocessor.

The general rules of macros are:

1. Don't use them; prefer static functions.

2. Use them as symbolic constants only.

3. Use parameterized macros only when you must use # or ## (i.e., for code abstraction), and then use them sparingly.

4. If you really insist, wrap every use of the arguments in parentheses, and be careful not to write the name of an argument somewhere where you don't mean it.

You'll get pretty far knowing next to nothing about macros (e.g. expansion phases and tokenization rules) by following the above rules.

For me it's a matter of "are the people above me in management going to fuck me over because of my sexuality?". And if I have evidence that they might, either they need to go or I need to go. And if I like my job, I'd rather it be them than me.

For my personal stuff I have a seafile server on a vps. I have 'full history' turned on, which essentially gives me snapshots of every uploaded change of every file, browsable by individual file or by date and time for the whole backup space.

Once they get support for remote object stores like S3, it will be hands down the best backup solution: https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/issues/102. Even though, there is a fuse layer for S3 that may work (haven't tried that yet).

Everything is a business in the US - which means middlemen everywhere between services and the people consuming them. The fact that costs are hidden in both places to the end user is a huge problem, and the government solution is literally to throw more money into the system instead of controlling costs through evil regulation. You just can't have it both ways - either you subsidize and regulate cost or you remove the middlemen and make the entity compete on the basis of cost. The problem with both health care and education is that the goods aren't elastic - they're required in most cases. This, they don't even compete on cost basis but instead quality, which drives prices ever higher.

I feel like the value of adversity is lost sometimes on HN. We should be especially familiar with it. Earning a high level of income makes life extraordinarily comfortable, to the point where it is easy to become complacent and stop trying to really contribute to society in a meaningful way.

Some times a struggle is not a bad thing. Not to the point where one should be homeless or starving of course, but having everything handed to you (even if you have worked hard in the past) doesn't always result in the best of outcomes.

It was one of the the few smaller colleges with a linguistics department, so there's that. I had small class sizes and good, well-known professors, but the main reason is because I was 18 and I was just expected to go to a college like that. I personally didn't want to go to college at all, but it wasn't an option, and my parents fortunately had the money to cover everything. I got a national merit scholarship which knocked about 20,000$ off the price tag (and I contributed ~3000$ a year), but still, way too pricey. Many of my friends took out huge loans to go there. If I had the choice I would've lived abroad for a few years and then went to a state college.

My app needed to be able to do 3D rendering of 200k polygon scenes at real-time framerates on circa-2013 devices with Adreno 320-spec GPUs.

Needless to say, a custom C++ engine was the only thing that could cut it (shared code base with native activity/NDK on Android and Objective-C "glue" using C wrapper functions on iOS).

Even Unity was only hitting 8 FPS on Adreno 320 (with mobile shaders and everything I could think of doing to try to coerce their black box into doing what I wanted it to do)...
Because its pounded into their heads that if they dont go to college then they have no chance at making it successfully in life. So taking on 5-10 years of debt for 40-50 years of success is seen as worth it.

Perhaps you're getting mixed up on the nomenclature?

There are "independent agencies" in the US Executive Branch, but these aren't independent of the entire US Government; they're just not part of a single Department. For example, NASA could have been part of the Department of Transportation (and thus report to the Secretary of Transportation), but it isn't and reports directly to the President.

Agencies are typically run by someone appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, but the agency heads are typically supposed to be less political than the cabinet. For example, the President can fire the Secretary of State on a whim, and might do so to indicate a policy shift. On the other hand, the members of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, for example, are appointed for fixed five year terms and shouldn't be removed for political reasons.

Regardless though, they are still part of the government.

You could say that about anything though, and I'm sure many in engineering do (about everything from design patterns to category theory...).

I joined the software industry after getting tired of all the [sometimes seemingly mindless] rigours of the construction industry that I worked for at the time. I wanted freedom, such as work anywhere anytime. Now, the pendulum has swung too far on the other side and I again long for some ritual that will help me maintain sanity.

Reading this article convinces me that some ritual is still possible in the tech industry and I feel like working for this company.
I feel this is a passive aggressive way of attacking what's a reasonable idea. To live in a small place that you own outright. Maybe this guy associates that with smug hipsters or something like that. But really it's about people seeking autonomy. Not seeking a way out of society or wanting to live at the bottom rung of it.
