Advantages? Such as not being able to purchase clothes or shoes anywhere except online? Seriously try to find a pair of 34x36 pants or 16 shoes. You can't anymore. In the 90s a store might have carried a pair of shoes, today they carry none because you can order online. Size Large shirts are too short and XL are too fat. So I need large tall which no one carries in stock. Literally every purchase I make is sight unseen.

Then there's the not really fitting in half the cars out there. Or amusement park rides. Or bowling shoes. Or safety equipment. Or saddles for horses.

You might complain that you can't reach things on the top shelf, try having to bend over for everything. Even to use countertops or bathrooms.

How about furniture always being short and forcing your knees to be elevated above your hips when you sit all of the time.

And beds... always too short. Want to stretch out? Only if it's a king and you lay diagonally.

Being tall is perpetual discomfort because this world is made for people of average height.
Linus only worked on the kernel, the coreutils from GNU were developed way, way earlier. Of course one cannot go without the other, but RMS and the folks behind GNU certainly deserve to be mentioned. Note that Linux had no clear license at the beginning and RMS influenced Linus to have it under GPL2 - that was the right decision at the time.

The ol' security through tech press approach. Seriously though, you can't have the security of your devices dependent on whether or not someone has come up with a catchy name for their exploit. The exploits with names like broadpwn and stagefright are the exceptions, not the rules, there are plenty of critical CVE's that have never had cool names or tech articles written about them. Even if an exploit has a cool name and some press, what if people don't upvote it when it gets posted here (or reddit/wherever)?

>Chemotherapy is among the worst - probably 20% of people who get chemo die because of the chemo.

That's likely not right. I would believe something more boxed in...like 20% of patients who die within 30 days of starting chemotherapy died from it versus the cancer.
Okay, but why? What is anyone's purpose for going to mars en masse? Migration to the New World was spurred on by the promise of wealth, resources, and independence from existing governments.

The latter is utterly implausible when you consider the total dependence colonists would have upon supply from the nations they're hypothetically fleeing. The former, well, again I suspect dependence upon supplies from the home-planet puts colonists on an extremely poor footing for negotiation.

I'm just not seeing the case for why large groups of people would feel compelled to make the trip at obscene cost.
If they had stuck with the APIs and ABIs literally everyone else uses they wouldn't have this problem in the first place. Most people's userspace is not tied this heavily to the kernel version because the APIs and ABIs there are fairly stable.

That's much more easily done client-side. And having downloaded videos from them at full speed, this appears to be how it's implemented as well.
Indeed but writing a game was something you could do in school. I know I was inspired by news reports of teenagers getting rich from games they'd written.
Yea I have no idea how you'd pack that many people in without making someone have to climb a ladder, which is a non-starter.

Apparently FAA regulations requires people to be sitting up for takeoff and landings so that adds a bit of a wrinkle too.

That was my assumption too but I have yet to find any documentation of that anywhere. I've flown since I was 18 and a good portion of my family are Captains or F/As and they haven't run across that either. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.

I think a niche airline might be able to make it work, but since running an airline is basically a no margin business, it's not worth taking the risk.
I just wrote a swift api that I'm running on Ubuntu 16.04. I wasn't hesitant to use swift because first, it substantially outperforms node on many benchmarks [1] [2] and second, the community of people who are excited about swift seem to have made up for its young age. You can find workable tutorials and help online for server side Swift. And there are multiple backend frameworks to choose from. Having type safety on the server is as great as it is on the client. It's also great to be able to write the server in the same language as the client. Makes for a VERY smooth dev process. Why wouldn't you use swift on the server? (my guess is fear of new tech -- which can be healthy many times but, IMHO, at least in the case of server side swift, it may be a bit irrational!)

Lineage OS isn't a substitute for vendor support. Lineage is dependent on vendors for updated drivers and firmware blobs. So if there's a bug in the firmware, like the recent BCM43xx vulnerability, you are still SOL if the particular chip in your device is no longer supported by the vendor.

Thanks for the information! The requirement for the FAA to establish a minimum seat size is in the House and Senate Versions of the FAA Reauthorization Bill. The House version is not passed yet, they have until September to do so before the prior one expires.

If the House Bill passes, the reconciled version that will be sent to the President should have this requirement.
That's cool. Definitely bringing some memories back. If scroll position is maintained when going back to the homepage I'd definitely stayed longer :).
You mention a point worth highlighting: status.

This is why I fly pretty much exclusively American. Not because American is the best airlines (it is not, but hey it's not United either). But because if I optimized solely for cost I wouldn't have any status on any airline. I'd be the first one bumped. I'd have worse seats and I'd be upgraded less.

People like to bitch about how airlines treat them like crap but at the same time they often don't have any loyalty to any airline. What do you expect?

Just this last flight from NYC to SFO I got upgraded to (lie-flat) business class for "free" (it cost I think 6 500-mile stickers but I have like 100 of those so who cares?). My AA status also multiplies all the miles I earn on AA and oneworld flights. That's worth something.

I just wish AA had PE. Main Cabin "Plus" is not the same thing.
Make should have included something like tcl, or shipped its own tcl and its own os/posix libs. It is very easy for makefiles to become tied to a particular OS/Distribution/dev environment.
this is largely going to be bad seat design, I suggest that you try and put your dollars with a different airline or choose flights on an aircraft with a better setup.

s/justice/legal/

I have similar feelings, but I don't see the US and the USSR legal systems as remotely similar.

The US system requires a much greater amount of complicity and culpability of citizens and elected officials. We, the citizens, are completely culpable for the entire system. Our elected representatives (for whom we are responsible for curtailing) have given police+prosecutors:

* far too many tools+laws to invade our liberties,
* detain us with insufficient evidence,
* interrogate us with mentally coercive techniques,
* provide a massive asymmetry to legal information,
* allow the poorest of us to rot in jail awaiting trial
* incentivize those charged with crimes to settle pre-trial 98% of the time
* too much credibility in the mind of juries

and governments underfund the public defender's offices to the point that they are essentially just a tool of the prosecution to help make plea deals faster.
It's almost certainly not kickbacks driving this.

Look, it ain't just the Republicans you identify that screw the poor. Democrats are in some ways worse because unlike Republicans they pretend to care (sometimes).

The Democrats' candidate for president was offering Republican style market-based crap like tax breaks for profit sharing and work programs for low cost loans. She didn't even touch on poverty with anything concrete: just words.

Their president from 2008-2016 has as his signature achievement a health care bill that promoted subsidizing private insurers using poor people as the mechanism to do so! The little for poor people in ACA came from things like Medicaid expansion (grossly insufficient) and Independent Bernie Sanders' community health center funding add-ons.

The one before him, in the mid 90s, screwed the poor with welfare reform. Don't tell me how much the Republicans hate the poor. We know. I just wish people who point it out would spend as much time pointing out how badly Democrats do it, too.

It really burns me up when people play this card. As if being poor in this country weren't about catching shit or being ignored by everyone in power. Including democrats.
I have none of these problems with a 6 plus. Maybe backup, factory wipe + restore, or go to an apple store and ask for help?

Engineers have to do work.. I would unit test core libs... I would also hire manual tester because they were very useful. I'd likely not chase down 100% automated coverage. The goal is to ship a game not have 100% coverage. And I work 100% pure tdd in my day job and side projects so take that for what it's worth.

Currently, I use scons for C/C++ projects, though with a decent amount of stuff built on top of it. When I realized that I had a rudimentary package manager in it, I started thinking that maybe I should go searching for something that already does what I need.

I've used make quite a bit, and it is doable for individual projects. Where I start having trouble is managing libraries that may be used across multiple projects. When a library needs to supply its own configuration, and be subject to configuration specified of the project using that library, things get rather complicated, which is why I turned to scons.
I've had a lot of luck with this brand: https://www.amazon.com/Dr-Mercola-Complete-Probiotics-Supple.... Take 2 each AM.

By "luck" I mean I haven't got the common cold in over 2 years since I started taking them. I'm sure there are other variables I'm not taking into account, e.g., exercise and healthy eating, my age (35), etc. but they're inexpensive and I don't see any reason not to take them.

EDIT: here are the strains that this brand includes (notably Lactobacillus plantarum, as mentioned in the study):

Lactobacillus acidophilus DDS-1, Bifidobacterium lactis, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus brevis, Bifidobacterium longum, Lactobacillus salivarius, streptococcus thermophilus, and Bifidobacterium bifidum
The part where the execution graph is "linked" at runtime into an actor graph. It's hard to reason about because it's flexible enough to enable large numbers of possible combinations.

I'm not saying it's bad, but I am saying that the flexibility limits the ability to reason about actor interactions (especially concurrent interactions), which makes it akin to the dynamic vs static type system debates. One is strictly more flexible than the other, and that necessarily makes it harder to reason about.
I feel like any discussion of make is incomplete without a link to Recursive Make Considered Harmful[0]. Whether you agree with the premise or not, it does a nice job of introducing some advanced constructs that make supports and provides a non-contrived context in which you might use them.

Edit: Thanks, for the downvote, I am not being sarcastic. Geez, get a sense of humor.
I think the primary thing that makes people fear Makefiles is that they try learning it by inspecting the output of automake/autoconf, cmake, or other such systems. These machine-generated Makefiles are almost always awful to look at, primarily because they have several dozen workarounds and least-common-denominators for make implementations dating back to the 1980s.

A properly hand-tailored Makefile is a thing of beauty, and it is not difficult.

I agree with you on this fact. My last flight swapped carriers and one had significantly better seats than the other. (This also happened on a regional jet, which I think exacerbated the problem.)

But I think part of it is also location. Some airports are only served by one or two airlines, effectively limiting choice. So the result is that if I wanna get home, I'm stuck riding with the bad airline.

I generally prefer the train when the distance is reasonable enough.
This seems backwards: network neutrality ensures that anyone is free to setup a host with whatever rules they want. If you treat the network as a neutral layer, there's less risk if a particular service chooses not to support something — whereas in a world of paid prioritization you'd have to worry about, say, paid prioritization or outright blocking as well as the other costs.

(This is one of the reasons I'm not a fan of Facebook's subsidized internet — the intentions can be pure but it's still unsettling to see the barriers to entry for a competitor)
Google tried it, didn't last long [1]. Managers are information hubs - somebody's gotta take in the streams of information from team members, Sr. management, other engineering teams, other departments, customers, random stakeholders, etc. and distill them down, making sure every party has the useful and relevant bits. Without managers everybody has to talk to everybody else ... good luck with that.

I don't really like those, because then it makes it harder to separate out the source and the build directory. VPATH is a partial solution, but I find it much easier to have a single explicit pattern rule, rather than using both implicit pattern rules and modification of those implicit pattern rules.
Mods, why is this flagged off the front page? It's definitely news worthy that the day Gab raised $1 million dollars, they get booted off the Play store.
Also relevant: In 1989, Donald Trump, a private NYC citizen at the time, bought a full page newspaper ad to prosecute five young boys in the court of public opinion[1].

They were later exonerated from the Central Park Jogger rape and assault and won a large civil case for malicious prosecution. Trump, proven wrong in a court of law, denied that they were innocent and "he refused to acknowledge the Central Park Five's innocence and stated that their convictions should never have been vacated."

Having money is not a prerequisite, and in some cases even being in Russia is not a prerequisite.
I do like the straightforwardness of Make. But it doesn't do quite enough for it to be simple to use for C or C++ programs. The simplest generic Makefile I can come up with that handles header file dependencies correctly is 10-20 lines of relatively complex interaction with the compiler.

But then again maybe that's just an argument against C and C++'s compilation model. :)
> I agree it's better to ride the trend. :)

I think you haven't looked at a 6 year graph if you think the 'trend' is only ever going up. The point of my post was to highlight the risk of (another) crash.
Yea, I've never really understood reclining seats, especially on domestic flights. I've certainly never used mine, excluding 18 hr flights or something like that during the times when pretty much everyone is catching some shuteye (it doesn't really matter if the person in front of you is reclined if you are too).
Being poor means getting taken advantage of and being pushed around.

> life under a military dictatorship is so much better than in a "democracy"

I'm replying to both you and the parent since you both seem to support this stance.

You are in no position to decide what is better for a group of people. Further, until the Thai experience democracy, neither you or anyone else actually knows how it will turn out. Perhaps most people you deal with hide their true beliefs about life under a monarchy. The opposite may also be true: people may really end up preferring autocracy! But until they are given a chance to try living in e.g. a proper constitutional monarchy, you simply cannot state such things with any certainty.

> At least as long as you aren't someone the government decides to target for saying something they don't like.

Remember, the government's​ opinion changes over time based on its interests. You might wake up one day to find that something you believe to be right contradicts directly with what the government thinks.

Here's a simple, recent example I lived through back in 2011.

The UAE government was not very supportive of the Arab Spring, but you were fine as long as you didn't protest or call for a change in the status quo. Pretty fair, given that you are living under a monarchy.

But the UAE decided to back a military coup in 2013 which ousted the Muslim Brotherhood and reverted Egypt back to an autocracy. With this move, the UAE outlawed any criticism or questioning of either the UAE's position or Egyptian military rule in general. So if you supported democracy in Egypt, you were now "forced" to change your opinion or face potential punishment (at best, deportation).
