Isn't that like proofreading text in a language you're not familiar with?

Then give your excess money to a homeless person or donate it to Amnesty. We don't want or need the "pressured to tip" culture here.

No, homeless people should not live from tips, they should be helped by the government. I live in Belgium and tip because I'm used to (I'm from Argentina) and I know the staff is happy when I do it.

And restaurant workers should be paid by their employers. If the goal is to spread happiness then, again, the homeless person trumps the employee.

And they are in Europe, thanks to strong labour laws!

Lambda the Ultimate used to be a great resource. Now it's kind of dead.

Last I checked static inline was merely a hint that compilers need not take. They all do, but by definition it's not a zero cost abstraction.

`inline` is a hint, but he declares `static_inline` in the preprocessor to include `__attribute__((__always_inline__))`, which is more than just a hint. However, even `always_inline` may be troublesome over translation units, though we can still inline things in different translation units if using `-flto`, I believe there are occasional bugs. For libraries we'd also want to use `-ffat-lto-objects`.

Specialization takes away a lot of the competitive pressure.

What do you mean by this?

Can you in plain English explain exactly what unifies these discoveries? I have a hard time seeing what unifies traffic congestion with eigenvalue analysis of ESNs. While many systems contain thresholds, a traffic jam is not chaotic in the same way that an epileptic seizure is.

In the early days of Wikipedia many articles were taken directly from the CIA Factbook since it was public domain. Numerous Wikipedians have fond memories of it and remembers it as something the US did that was actually good and not evil shit. That and America's Army. Cheap ways to gain goodwill. Maybe in the grand scheme of things it didn't matter.

America’s Army didn’t strike me as cheap at the time - but definitely was in the context of the budget of the US military.

One of the technical marvels of the day were mail and usenet clients that could properly render quoted text from infinite, never ending flame wars!

This, of course, is a tongue in cheek.
