It's not compiled into your binary unless you want it to be. It's ran at compile time every time you compile, though I'm sure there's a flag to not run unit testing, and maybe with version() you might be able to block out the time ocnsuming tests. Not sure what you'd do in D that'd be so time consuming though.

It's not irrelevant, because counting for this variable reduces the gap.

Of course it is not the only or the most important variable here. Do you expect to find one thing that answers for the whole gap? I'm sure you'll say no, but then why do you disregard proven, factual variables that may add up?

Hi, I am Hanno, Founder and CEO of Gabi. The calculator we are showing here is based on 27,126 car insurance policies that we analyzed over the last year. We got those policies as part of the comparison shopping business we are running at gabi.com.

We checked all those insurance policies for potential savings. We compared the current rate with rates from over 25 insurance companies out there to see if we could find the same coverage for a better price.

Our calculator summarizes those findings and shows the likelihood that the user is overpaying on his current car policy and how much he is overpaying.
But that’s not an ARM design, right? It’s an Apple design either based on ARM or just using their instruction set.

I don’t think Apple uses straight ARM chips for anything of consequence anymore (I imagine little low-power embedded ones still exist).

Rust went this path too, there's something I love about having unittesting readily available. I can choose to use it or not use it. My asserts are available to me as I so desire. Python too sorta has some unittesting in the standard library, but that's not a compiler level thing.

Throughout history, the countries that rose to displace the old powerhouses did not do so by emulating the old countries' ways. Rather, they found new mechanisms to do what they needed to do. For example, the British did not adopt the Spanish encomienda system when they colonized the Americas or the East Indies.

Insisting that developing countries have to repeat the mistakes of developed countries to develop ignores the fact that finding ways to avoid those mistakes is one of the main ways that countries developed.

Interesting read. As a German, are there any downsides to the dual citizenship (double taxes, etc?)

To be honest, if you have the chance to get another citizenship that easy, go for it. I don't see any moral problems, especially since in this case the ancestors have been driven out of Germany.
I am not sure if I would categorize it as a lie. I think it is unprecise and probably misleading. I have very little expertise on the subject but from my perspective, it is more like a driver/support problem. If everything is supported (e.g. some Laptops, but also Smartphones) Linux has quite a good energy footprint, but there seem to be many devices out there which do not have good support (at least out of the box).

One of the problems here is that power-draining can happen by different components. Quite popular are graphics chips, but other components can be part too. For example, a friend of mine has problems with his device waking up from s2idle during transport. That is not exactly what you would expect in such a discussion, but from a users perspective, he has less time to work with his device given his usage pattern.

For me, this isn't much of a problem as I prefer working on a desktop, but I wouldn't accuse someone of being a liar just because he had a bad experience with power consumption on Linux.
What does "get the government out of business" even mean in this context? What do you think should have happened instead?

Dollar General asks for a tax break and says they won't build a store if they don't get one, and the government can either accept or refuse. It's not clear to me how you can prevent this situation, short of passing a law at the state or federal level that forbids municipalities from offering tax breaks. (Which I actually think the government should do, to prevent races to the bottom, but that would by definition mean more state/federal control over local tax policy, and is not likely to be popular.)

Please think for a minute before you post comments like "This is why you need to get the government out of business." They're so easy to make that often people post them before realizing they don't make any sense.
I wonder if the induction of lucid dreams could become a commercial endeavor? Viewing it as an alternative to technological virtual reality, people would start buying products which induce dreams instead. Companies would subsequently market and patent items which enhance visual experiences in dreams.

React Native is fine for small, standalone apps. Don't ever try to integrate it into an existing native app. Better to stick to 100% native or rewrite it completely.

As someone that has a godfather that has an actual Bison ranch, Bison are definitely still here thankfully, and are simultaneously awe inspiring and fear inducing.

That part of Dances with Wolves where they leave a trail is not inaccurate.

And Bison will graze on areas that to be blunt, are practially useless for anything else but digging up dinosaur bones. The only thing we need to do is get out of their way. And you can even cull them sustainably, just find the ones that are on their way out and use them for food.

But I know nothing about palm oil, I presume there should be some way to treat it like paper where we can leave the simians alone and farm our own.

Also, don't try to pet a Bison, even in national parks. They're like moose level scary if they see you as a threat. I don't get why people think wild animals like you petting them. I saw a buffalo wreck a F-250, they are not pets.

Meh. Those conditions are par for the course in jobs like that. IMO it beats working fast food any day of the week.

Working at a franchised establishment (like Dollar General or Walmart or Wendy's) is usually pretty middle of the road because they use their scale figure out how to optimize for every last but of productivity and that usually means working employees as hard as they can reasonably work. However, at the same time the franchise usually decrees something like "thou shalt not drag the brand name through the mud by running your location like a sweatshop." Small businesses have much more deviation in quality. If you think getting minimum wage for doing retail work in an 80deg store is a particularly bad deal then you're probably living in a little bit of a bubble.
Ive been a fairly regular lucid dreamer for probably 8 years now. Having more regular LDs would certainly be welcome. Im also quite interested in this bit: "Galantamine also significantly increased dream recall, sensory vividness and complexity (p<0.05). Dream recall, cognitive clarity, control, positive emotion, vividness and self-reflection were increased during lucid compared to non-lucid dreams (p<0.0001)."
Not to mention, let's assume that government "got out of business". Had no say in business at all. No zoning laws, no permission needed to open a shop wherever you wanted, etc.

Then while Dollar General wouldn't get any sort of tax break for building in a town, nothing could stop them either. Buhler wouldn't have been able to reject the store.
So many memories.

Defender of the Crown, art by Jim Sachs, was remarkable so soon after the machine's release. Especially as much was painted pixel by pixel. It was ported to PC, in CGA and I think EGA, not that anyone could afford EGA! He wasn't treated at all well by Cinemaware for the game that made the studio. http://amiga.lychesis.net/game/DefenderOfTheCrown.html

Some notables missing though.

No Eric Schwartz, Tobias Richter or Ken Offer? Eric did the Amy the Squirrel, Juggler 2, Aerotoons, and a bunch of logo work for Commodore. Doesn't seem to have done much since.

Ken did the HAM animation that was a major step up from juggler and a few others. Can't remember if he developed or just worked for one of the early 3D sw companies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NT09y-MpC4E

Tobias did a lot of early Amiga CGI and animations, and the Star Trek game. Later CGI for TV DS9 and Star Trek TNG, now running http://www.thelightworks.de/

There's bound to be a few others I forgot.
Google: "organ donation cardiac death".

> My impression is this is only true for some transplant types.

Other way around. Organ donation after cardiac death is only possible for certain types, and only in very limited circumstances.

Hopefully things will improve because it would vastly increase the number of possible donations. The vast majority of people can not donate organs even if they want to - it requires a very specific type of death (brain death where the body is just fine).

Many people also have religious and ethical problems with it because you are killing someone. Obviously that depends on how they define death, which has no commonly accepted definition, the current definition "brain death" was set that way to make organ donation possible, and that makes many people uneasy.
Short sellers don't need the company to fail to make money. I would guess that most tesla short sellers don't think that tesla is going to fail.

Short sellers thesis is that the company is overvalued and that the market will come to see this and correct itself.

If they are wrong they will lose money. If they are right they will make money. There's no reason to ascribe to them malice.

Most CEOs ignore short sellers and get on with their job of running their company.
I think the thing is, we think of CEO as a managerial position, but a lot of the time, it's actually a marketing position. It's about defining the corporate brand, both to other businesses, to customers, and to investors. That's why you often get CEOs who are pretty flamboyant.

Heck, U-Boot itself can run EFI binaries, with network access for netbooting even — and it's good enough for FreeBSD/aarch64 to not even consider non-EFI booting methods.

Many people are pointing out that short identifier names are ok, and that i is perfectly fine as an identifier name. It likely is, and I believe the rule to be true that short
identifier names are ok for short scope / context. However, there are several issues:

i for an index is ok, but this is a red herring: You only ever need an i for imperative iteration and in a sufficiently high level language you are better of with selection and projection, (iteration for that matter), where you just foreach over each element and don't actually need to ask for things by index. Sure, y'all be hacking C, nothing wrong with that, it depends on what you str doing, but for comprehension, the mere existence of i is a red flag, because most of the time you want something to happen to a collection if things and foreach is perfect for that (or map, fold, filter, pick your poison).

Still, a better example than `i` for short identifier names would be x,y,z, or r,g,b These are so common and conventional that I would expect them to have semantics of their own, still they could be chunked to types such as Coordniate, Location, or Point, or Paint, or Color, respectively. But comming up for better names than x,y,z is really difficult, will bloat your code and make it hard to understand what is going on.

I am pointing this all out, because many of you seem to favor such very short identifier names - and I am with you: sometimes they make sense, see above - but empirical evidence suggests that very short identifier names, and single-letter identifier names in particular significantly worsen comprehension of code. The same is true for abbreviations (depending on how strongly you abbreviate).

Worth noting that in many countries - including Australia and New Zealand - that it is not compulsory (legally mandated) for food manufacturers to label the oil that they use as Palm Oil. They can just state Vegetable Oil, thus hindering many consumers in these countries from determining which products in their local supermarket use palm oil - just by looking at the label directly on the product.

A poor outcome for consumers in these markets.
This seems like a very clever way to accomplish this feat. I think I'm happy that to date I haven't the sort of problems that might require reading 100M records per second. However, I'd be all ears if someone wanted to contribute to my education by telling me what sorts of interesting things that this might enable.
From the article it looks like the local government was what kept Dollar General out of a town after seeing what happened to a neighboring town that gave Dollar General some breaks to come in. So local government, while it did make a bad decision in the first town, made the opposite decision in the second town.

A question the article doesn't explore is what effect government policies and actions at higher levels (county, state, federal) have on the ability of a large chain like Dollar General to drive out local competitors. It might well be that getting government out of business, in the sense of stopping it from playing favorites, at those higher levels would be a net benefit.

Being an extremely young programmer (I'm 35), I had never quite understood what "dynamic scoping" is - the whole idea that scoping can somehow be done differently than "like in all the languages" was foreign to me until a few minutes ago. If you're an ignorant youth like me, here's some clarification.

Wikipedia's description is horrid, but C2's[0] is a gem:

"In dynamic scoping, by contrast, you search in the local function first, then you search in the function that called the local function, then you search in the function that called that function, and so on, up the call stack. "Dynamic" refers to change, in that the call stack can be different every time a given function is called, and so the function might hit different variables depending on where it is called from."

Sounds totally insane to me and I wonder how people made working software at all in the '80s. That said, I get happy when I remember that people often complain about how horrible it is that $OBSCURE_AWESOME_TECHNOLOGY never made it and how $TRENDY_FAD solves the same problem so much less elegantly. I mean, apparently an $AWESOME_TECHONOLOGY sometimes does win, against all odds - in this case lexical scoping. Yay Guy Steele!

http://wiki.c2.com/?DynamicScoping

EDIT: I just realized that shells copying all environment variables into child processes is basically a present-day example of dynamic scoping (although, fortunately, without mutation - we'd have entire data centers on fire if you could mutate parent process envs). It gives me a slightly better idea how this stuff could be used to make working software.
