They are like a doctor complaining about my i unhealthy dependency on water. I just had to drive 40km between cities for a meeting. There is no train, no bus, no electric skateboard alternative. Sure, maybe we could do the meeting remotely and implement digital signatures on the documents, but that isnt a legal option at the moment. The car-free utopia lies on the other side of countless other revolutions in how society works. Forcing revolution C before revolutions A+B isnt going to win anyone any friends.

McCafe and Buckingham Palace would want the "sophistication angle". Both spellings work obviously, but IMO (and the majority of English books) "cafe" is the "correct" spelling.

Sweet, this is what I needed.
"What Guendelsberger found in her experiment was that employers now 'demand a workforce that can think, talk, feel, and pick stuff up like humans—but with as few needs outside of work as robots. They insist their workers amputate the messy human bits of themselves—family, hunger, thirst, emotions, the need to make rent, sickness, fatigue, boredom, depression, traffic.' The results are 'cyborg jobs,' and they account, by Guendelsberger’s reckoning, for almost half of the American workforce. The hidden moments of reclaimed freedom that make any job bearable are being discovered and wiped out by bosses everywhere: That trick you used to use to slow down the machine won’t work anymore; or that window of 23 minutes when you knew your boss couldn’t watch you is vanishing. Whatever little piece of humanity survived in these fragments dies with them. "

>Some people are really angry about GNU Parallel's citation "nag

the way I understand this, is that by requiring to interactively enter "will cite" the ability to run it as part of a larger script is broken. This would break a cron-job as well. The non-interactive nag in output would not cause such probles.

The non-interactive message in output of course could create problems on its own - especially if the nag would or would not display randomly. If someone intends to parse the output, this would require additional code to discard the nag. If the nag would sometimes display and sometimes not, this could randomly break stuff - if there was no nag during tests someone could not notice that they need to discard it.

But there are non-intrusive ways to insert some offensive message - they could be put to syslog, or a file with an offensive name/content would be created. My general idea is not to nag the users per se but do something that does not cause actual inconvenience for the user but is unacceptable in corporate environment.

For a GUI app a simple message box appearing once a month would not cause a major problem or hurt productivity of the end-user but I assume that for example Apple or Google would not find it acceptable for their software to display "f-off" even if this was rare.

For non-interactive/non-GUI software other ways to inject that message would be needed. For instance, a http server could inject additional X-F-Off header or a daemon could require env variable ICONSUMEFECES set to "daily"
If you're the sole author of the code (or own the copyright or have the ability to relicense), then you can. It's not "un-GPL"ing the code because whatever you GPL'd will continue to be available under the GPL forever.

Mouth/neck cancer. 35 treatments of radiation. It has been a year and my gums are still destroyed.

My teeth were not in the best shape going into this. But the risk was high that the radiation would kill my teeth and need to be removed anyway. The problem here is that I was going to be monumentally fucked from the radiation/chemo and they weren't sure my body could handle pulling teeth if they died.

And dead teeth just sitting in there could cause osteonecrosis of the jaw. Essentially a dead jaw. Then they would have to remove my jaw and that would be insane. So I opted to just have all my teeth pulled in one shot and get dentures later. And it wasn't some random dentist looking to profit saying I needed to have them pulled. Two ear, neck and throat doctors, a oral surgeon, two oncologists, and a radiologists all agreed that it was essential.
I was an intern at a relatively large retail company this past Summer and there were quite a few points where I had nothing to do except wait on database access to be approved. This took a few hours minimum.

I bookmarked the Rust book and started to learn the language in order to keep me stimulated. I also read a lot of Wikipedia articles on older computer scientists because I love history. Overall a good experience, but definitely would have liked a more engaging job overall.
1) Because buybacks and dividends are what produce the entire value of stock at the end of the day. 2) Buybacks don't need to be reinvested, they already are by definition. 3) Rebalancing your portfolio due to buybacks is done automatically by your fund that you already pay a small maintenance fee for.

There's nothing unhealthy about buybacks, that's a total misconception that needs to die. They're just treated differently from unqualified dividends for tax purposes.
There is an old adage about this:

Q: What happens if we provide education and training to our employees and they leave?

A: Well, what happens if we don't, and they stay?

Growing a company's knowledge and skill base is an investment, not charity. Companies that don't do it reap exactly what they sow -- they're the same companies whose CEOs will otherwise loudly complain about how difficult it is to find skilled employees, especially at a senior level, and decry the terrible state of universities. As if everyone else just stumbles upon people with twenty years of experience in a particular niche on the street.

Yes, some people will leave. The smart thing to do is to convince as many of them to stay and to stay on good terms with those who leave. Keeping a loyal employee base whose knowledge and skills remain largely unchanged after joining the company doesn't provide any kind of meaningful growth.
Puerto Rico is desperately poor. GDP per capita is a poor measure of income inequality. 45% of Puerto Ricans live below the poverty line. Italy's economy is literally 20x the size of Puerto Rico. If Puerto Rico was a state, it would be the poorest state in the U.S. It's unemployment rate is double the United States.

Hurricane Maria has caused $140 billion of damages to a country with a GDP of $100 million. What would the U.S. look like if it had a natural disaster that cost $20 trillion in damages?

If you ask me, parents have a responsibility to raise their kids that is orders of magnitude larger than the "responsibility" of the child to behave. Parents are adults with fully developed brains and their own agency, children are hard-coded to test limits and are literally incapable of planning their future, fully understanding the feelings of others, the consequences of their actions, and much more, unless parents or adults teach them. In the vast majority of cases, children not behaving is a direct consequence of the behavior of the parent (and/or other adults close to the child).

All of my co-workers had a car, but they only used them a few times a month except for the couple of coworkers who had hobbies that took them out into rural areas.

And there were buses everywhere. You could take transit from the middle of Tokyo to that onsen in the middle of nowhere. It wouldn't be convenient or fast, but it could be done and we did it all the time. You just had to be careful with your scheduling and have something to read on the bus or someone to chat with.

Nobody used their cars to get groceries. The 7-11 on the corner is crazily well-stocked with reasonable prices, and the grocery store is by the train station you walk to and from every day.

AFAIK jai only uses LLVM in release mode since it does slow down the build. This makes sense since if you have optimizations off, you only have to do codegen. If you are using LLVM for codegen, then you have to codegen twice! Once for LLVM IR and once for machine code.

The employment rate has dropped over time with the current vast numbers of students, retired workers, and prisoners being a new thing. The official unemployment rate ignores those populations, but economically it’s automation that has enabled this shift.

Socially, some of this is muddled by stay at home mothers with automation like washing machines making a dramatic difference in hours worked.

>Car friendly infrastructure widens the technological and class divide. They create a base state where you are required to own and maintain an expensive piece of equipment in order to be an equal member of society.

Great, so if we can't all have something, none of us should have it! Forget the fact that the vast majority of families own and benefit from personal transportation, the important thing is that we're all equal, even if the equal case is on average worse for everyone, right?

>Forcing people to pay thousands of dollars per year to participate in society is highly repressive

Is it also repressive to "force" people to hold down jobs to participate in society? To "force" people to commute to work? What about the fact that some people have the luxury of working from home? Should we make that illegal as well?

I do not understand how people can be so focused on equality as to totally ignore the average, greater good. The nature of modern civilization is such that some degree of inequality is inevitable if one optimizes for median welfare.

The point of that was to note that the W3C doesn't care about the user.

John Sullivan had a great tweet about this:

Fundamentally, the W3C does not work in the interest of the user, and shouldn't be trusted.

The problem is that the federal government (with taxpayer money) is acting as a middle man here. So universities don't have an incentive to make their students employable.

> just create more parking lots at the border of such areas

afaik, most proponents of car-free streets or dense urban development regard parking lots at the border of the dense area ("intercept parking") as a good idea to be encouraged. The point is not to wage war on cars, it's to make downtowns a safe and pleasant place to be.

Yes there is. It’s bankruptcy. What Puerto Rico is doing.

Bankruptcy means poofing promises. Whose promises get poofed in what quantity is the question. Broadly speaking, the constituents are taxpayers, creditors (mostly lenders and pensioners) and service recipients. Austerity puts the bulk of the pain on taxes and services. Going Argentina puts it mostly on external creditors. In between are reasonable paths.

> Public transport fails if you have a lot of groceries to deliver, or some big products.

That's commercial traffic, car-free policies are usually designed with support for commercial vehicles. It's really about eliminating private automobile traffic in city centers. If you mean going to the store to buy large items, delivery is probably the solution there. Deliveries like that can be grouped into a smaller number of larger vehicles, or done at off hours, or only on certain roads, or all sorts of different things.

Car-free isn't the greatest moniker in the world. It really means eliminating private automobile traffic, not eliminating vehicles altogether.

> Also public transport often takes much longer than a car, because it's stopping at every little stop, while a car can go directly, or even take a shortcut in some cases.

This isn't typically true in dense urban areas with high quality transit networks. Those are the areas that are suitable for car-free. Certainly most places would suffer greatly from the elimination of cars, but those areas aren't the target.

The EU is over 3x as population dense as the USA. Any plan to make the USA transportation system to look like the EU's is doomed to failure from the beginning.

You need to be realistic. You are never going to win hearts and minds by railing against cars - Americans love their cars, and for good reason. A bus is not going to pick you up at your front door the second you walk out, and it's not going to drop you directly where you want to go. Cars are a tremendous convenience. And they are not nearly as expensive as people seem here seem to think - they are certainly cheaper than city rent.

It may make sense to reduce the number of cars in city centers, but so few Americans live or go near city centers. You have to understand that HN is not a representative sample of the world population. Not everybody is a single, young person trying to start their own businesses.
>Absolutely no one is advocating removing cars from those areas.

You'll find plenty of people here who will be happy to argue that living outside of dense cities is unsustainable and has to end. They're wrong. But it's their opinion.

Given that we're talking about token concatenation in macros, I doubt that's going to show up in that much day-to-day code, so the small gains come from benchmarks using stdlib functionality that uses this feature.
