For the very same reason of course? If you're on horseback near traffic, which isn't all that uncommon in rural parts, it'd be a good idea to make sure the horse is visible.

There's a road sign for this too; https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Warning_sign#/media/File:Swe....
Sounds like an excellent idea, otherwise there's the risk of companies not reporting any accident by just tagging them all as "manual driving" whether they were manually driven at the time or not.
> We're essentially paying out of pocket for the current retirees and by the time we retire there will be nobody to pay our pension. Or at least there will not be enough somebodies.

This comes up again and again (not just in Slovenia, but in any country that has an inter-generational pension system).

There are two points to make here:

One is that as long as a country produces enough goods and services, money is "just" a tool for allocating these goods and services. How money is being saved and spent has already changed massively; countries have a different tax structure, require people to spend vastly more on health insurance than a century ago, families are smaller compared to a century ago and parents are less dependent on their children in old age (and thus the way our retirement works now is already vastly different from back then). There's little reason to think that the system cannot adapt. This is not to say that it "will" (because, well, predictions are hard, especially about the future), but it would also be unrealistic to assume that what we are going to have 30-50 years from now will be like what we have now. Heck, we don't even know if the "lump of labor fallacy" will still be a fallacy in a future of rising automation or whether part-time work will become the norm. At which point all bets are off, anyway.

As a simple example, we could just implement a basic level of pensions through taxes (in lieu of existing pension schemes) that people could increase through private pension schemes. This is essentially basic income minus the moral hazard (because you don't have to worry about creating a disincentive to work for people outside the labor force).

The second point is that investing privately in your retirement does not fundamentally change anything. When a society ages and has a disproportionate amount of young people, these young people still need to generate enough economic output, regardless of whether the income for those too old to contribute comes out of interest payments, an inter-generational scheme, taxes, or something else.

ReSharper does lightweight static analysis - I would venture to go as far as to place it into the "code smell analysis" category. Using something like Code Contracts, properly, drastically changes your outlook on static analysis.

ReSharper: you've enumerated this enumerable multiple times. This if statement is redundant. Basically stuff within the scope of a single method.

Code Contracts: you've passed an integer to this function. The function asks that you check that the integer falls into the length of the array that you are also passing in and that it's a multiple of two. Also, the function doesn't promise that it won't return a null value and you are using the result without checking it first. Basically looks at your entire project and can work out code paths across methods.

There's worlds of a difference. ReSharper is definitely useful, but doesn't come close to what proper static analysis can do. If you like what ReSharper is doing for your codebase I thoroughly recommend having a look at Code Contracts (it's a free Microsoft Research project).

> How would maintaining a SSA representation of the code help detecting dead code paths?

Well, if a variable assigned but never appears in a path that might have side effects it's dead. It's only the halting problem if you pretend to catch 100% of cases under all inputs. You can find lots of dead code without it.

For more information about the specific technique of DCE under SSA form see http://grothoff.org/christian/teaching/2007/3353/papers/ssa....

The "death threat" was a tongue in cheek comment on IRC late one night after someone had spent their day bug fixing a borked boot after a systemd update or some such.

It pretty much amounted to someone musing about using kickstarter to crowd fund an assassin.

1. there is no way it would get past the kickstarter people.

2. it is unlikely that enough people hate poettering so much that it would get off the ground.

It was a badly off color joke made by someone mentally exhausted from having to fix something someone else broke.

Sadly since then the "for the lulz" troll brigades has latched onto systemd as a source of "amusement"...
I know, the audacity.

I used a custom layout with easy access to tons of special characters but gave up on it when I frequently had to switch between different operating systems.

My new laptop has a weird keyboard that seems to be based on the US keyset with the right symbol key replaced with the ISO key you're referring to. In other words: angle brackets are right next to the space bar (left ctrl, symbol key, left alt, space bar, angle brackets, AltGr, Fn, right ctrl). Also the arrow keys are lodged in between that and the numpad. It's odd, but I have gotten used to it.

The only problem is finding an external keyboard with the same layout. I found that switching keyboard layouts is extremely bad for my productivity but I don't want to carry around an external keyboard everywhere I take my laptop.

It's... suboptimal.

It's really unprofessional of Forbes to misquote their main source of content for the article (he did not say "mindf dash dash k".)
I think they were more implying that the software that makes the decisions should be common to all of them. That way we don't allow individual car manufacturers to make potentially fatal mistakes when cutting corners with their software development. I think at the very least there should be a standardisation, so that there can be some communication between cars to aid in resolving traffic jams and other uses.
You can, but it's clumsy. You can't target excel tables (only sheets and named ranges), no autocomplete and syntax highlighting. This addin also provides additional .NET funcitonality (e.g. regex match/replace, xpath, various date functions etc...) exposed as SQL functions, allows tht user to call VBA functions from SQL and can connect to an existing database to import/export data to/from a database.

> It’s worth repeating that what’s generally overlooked is that each decision was made by the team and a variety of alternatives were considered. Moving forward with Wasabi .NET was only done after considering a lot of alternatives, including porting to python.

That right there is the crucial point for me. I think the real danger (and concern) with these types of technical debt situations is that they're often forced on engineering by upline management (i.e. non-coders). But if the folks who will have to maintain any mess they create are the ones making these decisions, the decisions are likely the correct ones-- at least at that time.
Well, in theory the broker is getting paid by the lender, not by me (the borrower). Of course, we all know that in a rational market, that cost has to be passed on to me. And yet strangely, I get a better offer when I ask the broker than when I straight up tell the bank "I'm going to go to a broker now, and so this is your last chance to beat whatever offer they're going to give me".

Conclusion: lenders are irrational. Surprise!

Lets unpack this myth of pure evil argument you've got going.

I think for many people renting is the only sane choice with the volatility of the job market. You can't be tied to a house that is any significant portion of your income once finding work forces you to move.

The sad part is that today, more than ever, where you live shouldn't matter for many office jobs. But it does matter - to employers.
You assume wrong, José Valim is Brazilian.
Sometimes you just want to manipulate data in your spreadsheed in place with the help of SQL but without having to go through the ceremony of importing and exporting to/from a database. For instance, with this plugin you can use regular expressions (replacex function) to transform data in a column, or you can do a join. If that's all you need to do, the overhead of importing/exporting is not worthit, and having convenient SQL+Regex can be a nice time saver. (disclaimer: I'm the author)

Compared to the interest only part, the savings are significant. Way more than 200 per month.

The capital repayments are not money lost in the same way that rent would be (assuming your house price doesnt plummet and you are forced to sell at that time).

So in the UK (outside London at least) at the moment there is little argument for renting, assuming you can afford the down payment.

London is a slightly different beast mind as prices have skyrocketed and down payments can be huge

Maybe off topic but if companies want the best people, maybe THEY should write the essay explaining why people should join instead of sitting in their high tower waiting for minions to come.

Agreed. I found the marketing a bit patronising actually.

I have found myself thinking about the term "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" whenever some desktop Linux developer/pundit fire off a new blog/email these days.
You're right.

The doom and gloom crowd here is an artifact of the boom/bust cycle that's a recent memory, and folks living in areas with insane pricing. If you're paying on equity, even if the house value declines slightly you're recovering some $$$ over time when you move.

The other key thing is that you need to have a traditional mortgage where you are actually paying down principal.

Without the ownership element, your family is subject to the vagaries of the market more directly. What happens when your high school sophomore is yanked out of school because your lease is terminated and you can't afford or get an apartment in your area?

So I guess the real issue is, we need a Federal standard with regards to self driving cars that they must talk to similar cars within a set radius.

Should be far easier that just driving down a crowded road. Effectively each car has the equivalent of a mac address and simply broadcasts its actions and any car listening within range responds appropriately.
Can anyone explain to me why startup speed is such an important factor for them?

I really can't get my head around it. It's such a non-issue for me.

I care so much more about general performance post-startup. I wouldn't even bring startup speed up as an issue as long as it's in the few-seconds range, which it always was for me using Atom.
"could care less" only exists out of misappropriation of the original idiom though, which is "couldn't care less" - a phrase which makes far more sense.
A self-driving Lexus operated by Google apparently cut off a self-driving Audi run by Delphi Automotive as it was trying to change lanes, causing it to take “appropriate action” to avoid a collision, said a Delphi executive.

John Absmeier, who was travelling in his company’s car at the time, said the Audi was forced to abort its lane change in the incident, which happened earlier this week.

I'm glad it was a robot, and not me driving that car. Not sure if I would have been able to change lanes that fast without causing an accident.

That's the issue: one of the robots forced another car to react quickly to avoid an accident. Had this been a human, it could have ended very differently.

In 1999 I totally flunked my UCAS admissions process in the UK precisely due to one of the scenarios described herein (aiming slightly too high, getting zero offers, and then being stuck in the clearing totally random and haphazard clearing process with various universities competing for an unexpectedly high-grade candidate).

"Near miss" isn't "nearly a miss" - it's a miss where both parties were near each other. "Near hit" may actually make more logical sense though.
Yes I have sometimes wondered about that. In fact another aspect of npm which I don't get is if you have multiple "instances" of a library (e.g. different versions, or even two copies of the same version) then any library global variables will not be shared across those instances.

But I don't know enough about JS development to say whether this really happens and/or if it is an issue (some pretty cool stuff has been done with JS so I guess it's possible to live with it).

BTW I share your dislike of hipsters, though I am a bit jealous those moustaches are just so cool.
The real question is how did they get it to a collission situation in the first place.

Even assuming their evasive action was perfect, if instead of 2 s.d. cars was 1 normal car on the other side or some other obstacle (a building etc), getting on a collision course wouldn't be that safe...

EDIT: downvote? If someone disagress can also state why. Or am I shuttering the perfect technology dream?

"near miss" just means "that was close", or "we almost didn't miss" -- in other words, "we missed, but we were pretty damn close and could have collided".

It doesn't mean "nearly missed, but actually hit" -- check any dictionary.
You definitely aren't stuck defaulting to the email address for iCloud, I just switched the default on my iPhone, if that was ever the case, it isn't in iOS 8:

Go into Settings/iCloud/Advanced/Mail

You can then pick what email to send from and it lets you pick the default email address to use. Click Done and it's switched.

The support article I linked to is misleading if you can't modify the Apple ID login if you use a .mac/.me/.icloud email address and would definitely be a bad hassle, Apple should allow the user login to be changed.
I don't know how cyclists behave in London, but what they're doing on roads in my city is absolutely horrifying - not stoping on red lights, going full speed through crosswalks, not signaling turning, driving on road when there's a bike lane alongside and so on. They don't need to pass any driving license, so most cyclist don't even know the basic driving regulations and they've this attitude "I'm the most important user on road".

>Oh and your mortgage was for 300k and you can only sell it for 250k? 200k?

Well, this is circumstantial, normally the value of a house climb faster than inflation. Sorry you have that bad experience but it was derived by a distortion in the market, one important component on each investment is timing.

>Of course. That's why a lot of airlines lease their airplanes, banks lease their offices, etc

That is different though. Companies prefer to have variable cost and reduce minimum fixed cost. An airline doesn't know what will be his flight offer in 5 years so renting airplane allows them to be flexible and keeping their cost proportional production. The same for companies offer since you don't know how is going to be the size of the company, although big companies once they are stable tend to own their headquarters.

Not to be cynical, but this is perfect publicity for Delphi Automotive. There appears to be no third-party confirmation of the incident, solely the say-so of the Delphi executive.

It would seem to me (given the low density of self-driving cars and their excellent track record) that the odds of Delphi wanting get in the news and bash a competitor at the same time is greater than the odds of two self-driving cars happening to cross paths and causing a "near-miss".
