There are a number of cars available to the Australian buyer which can't be readily had by consumers in much of the rest of the world. You can buy Lapanese-spec sports cars from Nissan. You can buy 4 wheel drive Mazdas. Most importantly, you can buy a ute.
Utes, or car-bodied vehicles with a pickup bed, are extremely practical. You can commute etc. in a low, safe, fun vehicle, yet have significant cargo capacity. This market never took off in the Americas due to our love affair with pickup trucks.
Modern utes can be had in incredibly sporty or economical models, too. Most utes can't be legally imported to America, since no crash safety tests etc. have been done.

I suppose what I'm driving at is to please consider buying a ute (like a Ford Falcon pickup with a big v8), because there are starving drivers in America.

True, apologies for that. It is because I've been working with iOS and Android longer and take their advantages for granted (although I find it hard to find much nice things to say about C/C++ development on Android). emscripten and the web is still the "new platform" for me.

I don't do it myself, but it's possible to solely program in JavaScript and still deploy complete apps, unless you count issuing commands at a command line to be "programming" in bash. With Node.js, you can do basically anything you could do system side with Ruby, Perl, or the rest and there are numerous JS-based tools for building, deployment, etc.

Although this is very cool stuff, I have a hard time trying to understand where this is going to prove useful.

I would image that the major target for something like this will be in doing ports of old games to the browser. Anything other than that would seem like a non-starter.

I'm not sure why a developer would take the long road to write a c++ app with the intention of eventually converting it to javascript. Also, If your a company has the expertise you would be basically open-sourcing something that is closed source. So the business logic doesn't make sense unless you don't stand to make money on the code.

Maybe i'm not being imaginative enough.

I love that social groups are critical and so it seems that swimming and saunas, but when taking a piss, or having a kitchen are ``irrelevant'' topics.
While we do not offer electrical service or accommodations typically necessary for RV customers, Walmart values RV travelers and considers them among our best customers. Consequently, we do permit RV parking on our store parking lots as we are able. Permission to park is extended by individual store managers, based on availability of parking space and local laws. Please contact management in each store to ensure accommodations before parking your RV

I'd like to see a post/writeup (or even an essay!) on how to do the magic "backing services" (http://12factor.net/backing-services) with Docker. And that's where I find Deis and other Docker orchestration systems lacking very much.

Sure, you can run MySQL in Docker, but it's a far cry from running it on native xfs with aligned partitions and whatever fancy you feel configuring. And since docker containers are very reusable, whereas backing data is by default should be persistent, my impression is that it's too easy to accidentally remove a docker container.

If I'm understanding this correctly - the JITer does the same thing automatically that we used to do manually in C. That is, place larger variables first inside our structs, so that unnecessary padding isn't added to achieve word alignment.

If order is otherwise unimportant to you (coding standard demanding alphabetic order, offsets that must match a layout provided by someone else, etc), you could do it yourself when creating your class/struct.

From my perspective, reading optimized builds is practically the same as reading assembly. In my opinion, it'd be easier to work from an unstripped mac/linux binary (i.e. with function symbols) than from optimized emscripten output.

Agree. Picking complementary colours 180 degrees separated in HSL space almost always creates an (IMO) clashing combination.

Using a different, more perceptually-based colour space would be even better.

> Silicon Valley: Where highly paid ($100-$200k+) engineers sleep in cars to save money on obscenely expensive rent.

I've known quite a few people who have lived exactly like this for a while. You know what? None are from Silicon Valley and are all from different walks of life. You have your people who ended up in difficult situations, people strapped for cash, people who were ultra minimalist, people who were looking for adventure, people who didn't want to be tied down, people looking to save up money for a couple years. None had Google's perks/free meals. All different motivations. Some by choice, some not.

To generalize that Silicon Valley is somehow responsible from one article about one subset of people is disingenuous.
Any way to see the source?
The cities where a $140k salary exist in the same quantity as in the bay area are roughly equivalent with respect to the cost to live there. A job in SF that pays $140k might fetch $60-$90k in most of the rest of the US, with higher salaries being more rare. So while there are lots of places where $140k is practically king-like, the number of positions with that salary are both hotly competed for and far fewer in number.

Well, I'd bought a camper van in the summer, and a contract came up too far away to realistically commute. So I could have stayed in a B&B during the week, however I felt that this would work out. My wife was not quite in love with the idea of the camper van as much as I was. It would save a lot of money which we needed at the time.

So I went down there in September for a 3 month contract that got extended by another 3 months.

The most complicated issue was that the Webasto diesel heating system (2kw heater and amazinf) required leisure batteries to be at a certain level to work safely and would shut down. So I started off with an 80w battery by the middle of December I had added another two 110w batteries and bought a industrial strength battery charger to enable me to top the batteries up within a 24 hour period.

If I was living in the van permanently I would have mounted two 250w solar panels on the roof. Complete independence would have been worth it.

One thing, having a home base also gave me a place to empty the chemical loo.

Of note, it completely changed my view of sealed sachets of ketchup and coffee. As you are in a box, you can build up a lot of moisture during the night (easy to remove during the day) but just means windows are dripping or even frozen with moisture.

I can remember firing up the heater and directing the heat into the driver cabin via a funnel to help melt the ice that had formed over night on the inside of the screen, leaving the van and going for a walk along the beach while it cleared itself.

U.S. Science Suffering from Booms and Busts in Funding
We had a contractor in Xbox who was let go. They snuck back into the building and lived there for a number of weeks (not sure how many), pretending to work and hanging out in our various couch areas during the day. [Someone quipped: "Not much different than certain full-time employees."]

I've known a few people who lived in vans / RVs in the company parking lots. (Ironically, the guy whose van had the ATARI vanity license plate was one of the first to be let go in the crash of 1982).

A friend of mine lives in the Sierra mountains, and used to RV down to Silly Valley for a week or two at a time. Really pretty convenient. Once he was parked underneath the flight path for Moffet Field around the time that Air Force One was scheduled to fly in, and the Secret Service politely asked him to move his RV.

I agree with your sentiment but there is one flaw, cycling is a dirt poor sport that has traditionally been very blue collar. There are racers in the Tour that make less than $30k per year, live at home with their parents in the off season and wrench as mechanics. There are only a small handful of them that make "pro athlete" money.

That's a lot of money to most of them, especially when they can be testing fit and position which have well known advantages to both aero and power output AND they already shave.

Well technically your clothes are hanging up in the space your are cooking in. You don't really need to be known as "Mr. Bacon".

Toilet is critical. You will need it (knew a friend that decided to not install one and rely on public loos while staying at a ski resort...lasted two weeks.) It's just that you don't want to take a dump unless you absolutely need to. This is less to do with then, but more when you need to 'empty' the waste. You will be peeing and you can either do that in a lay by, but with snow on the ground and 3 in the morning....then somewhere to pee in the van that also can be 'sealed' to contain the smell is critical.

Advice at the Starting Line: Location, Location, Location
What exactly did the US do with vast swathes of Iraqi territory for those years?

China is the one that made out like a bandit with the new supply of Iraqi oil. The US only got a giant bill out of it all for over a trillion dollars, a lot of dead and injured soldiers, and a lot of destroyed military hardware.

What the US didn't acquire: Iraq's oil; land; tax revenue; any territorial claims; the right to station large numbers of troops in Iraqi territory; gold or other plunder.

And further, the US left when it was told to. The supposed US puppet threw the US out, and we didn't do anything to them with our military in response.
If you're a developer who doesn't know very well how Linux distributions (or operating systems in general) work, you should spend a weekend or two playing around with an embedded Linux distro like this. Unfortunately DSLR's build environment does not seem like the easiest to understand for first-timers.

For example, instead of Makefiles per package, there's a package-specific shell script which incorporates some magic from scripts/build_package and is then sourced by the same to add some functions, with references to patches in a separate directory, and build dependencies tracked by a Makefile.deps file that's included by the root Makefile before the build_package script is run, which incidentally has tons of package-specific logic built in. You'd be re-reading 10 files over and over any time you build or troubleshoot a package.

All of this inside of a chroot using a bootstrapped cross compiler, which lord knows most people have never dealt with before. And the dependencies for building the cross-compiler aren't built from source, meaning this isn't a fully bootstrapped build environment, to say nothing of tracking versions. The resulting packages will vary from system to system, and it will be more difficult to port to non-x86.
Optimizely takes minutes to sign up for - and they're always looking to make that easier, and to make more people aware of the value they provide. In contrast, the expertise to conduct tests that alter revenue outlook takes somewhat longer to develop.

Sure, people could go out and spend the time to learn just about anything. In practice, they won't, because that's competing with all the other anythings they could be doing.

Sell the thing that actually has significant barrier to entry.

You take care of the easy thing too, because making the client spend meaningful attention on something that would take you five minutes is just silly, and you're there so they don't have to worry about that stuff. But sell the hard thing.
