Microsoft has a license to the UNIX APIs from AT&T via Cal BSD.

Either way "on-premises licenses" sounds weird so I'm likely to stick with "on-premise licenses" regardless. Sorry. Downvoted for expressing contempt for the English language and common decency, but then failing t

Yes, my estimates are the present value of the liability the pension plan is incurring. It's what a pension plan would have to save to be fully funded. Pension plans are currently not allowed under federal law to fully fund themselves

If you have half a million dollars in free cash you can afford to set aside for a few years (you'll even get most of it back), you can buy a green card.

H-1Bs do not have to pay US taxes for life no matter where in the world they go. It's just one more way that foreigners in the USA are privileged again and again over American citizens.

You can have that. A freestanding home in a quiet neighborhood with a garden and space to park one car per family with affordable housing and high quality transit in reasonably dense urban development (150+ density, 2x that of the city of S

Plainly the elites of America are not willing to accept the population trends and immigration laws of the successful nations negotiating the cost disease. You can see that in how they celebrated the power grab in Washington. Copying the imm

Are there any countries where the nominally expected result of things actually getting cheaper and easier over time are obtained? Yes. Japan, Mexico, Chile, Poland, Hungary, Korea, Thailand.

The cost of a defined benefit pension have skyrocketed. Replacing 90% of salary after 30 years for life with cost of living adjustments use to be worth about 20-35% of your salary. Now it's worth 120-200%.

Moving around with hjkl is a bad habit to be discouraged. It's not the vi way. Well, j and k are fine if you're not moving far. A lot of slow scrolling up and down should be { and } or C-d and C-u or <count>[jk]. Even better

What were you doing in a car in Mexico City? First time I drove there, it had me shell shocked for months. Next time, get out on foot and see the city. You can't see anything from a car. [0] [0] https://www.youtube.com/

Yes, terrible urban design and bad infrastructure and bad policy is pervasive in the USA. You can just look at neighboring Mexico with 1/6th the per capita income and correspondingly lower public budgets where transportation, urban mai

If Brigham Young could foresee how cars would abuse the design, he would have laid out Salt Lake City like Paris or maybe like Kyoto. Alas, President Young had long since exhausted his outrageously lavish budget of divine providence just ge

Outside SF proper, the SV urban design is as bad as in Utah.

It's rare to be worth a lot more than $105k in SLC; wages are pretty low and deep specific expertise isn't often bought so much as grown in house. Especially with a startup. If you're looking at $105k in SLC, you should be as

This is so nice and so much easier than it seems. And there's no need for a private repo; unless you're ashamed of your dotfiles, you could keep them in a public repo.

All regexes run in O(N) where N is the length of the string matched. But some regex engines accept non-regular expressions. [0] The usual notation for it is an escaped number: \1 or \2 or so on. They're used to refer back to capturing

Sometimes you feel a regret. "I know!" you say, "I'll fix things with regretular expressions." Now you have two regrets.

So now we're getting DAPL and DACA but not DAPA. Well, Trump could withdraw support for DACA as he promised, but he's now signed off on thousands of new DACAs, so he's in no hurry to change the program.

I'd note that Neovim is doing better with Parinfer support. Paredit seems okay with Vim, but you need guns/vim-sexp and tpope/vim-sexp-mappings-for-regular-people also to make the key bindings good. See my vim.info/.vimr

A few people lose their jobs as authorities try to placate the SJWs and the chilling effect over the whole society is palpable. Ask Brendan Eich or the leaders of that University in Missouri or the guy who made an innocent dongle joke at a

I couldn't get Parinfer to work with Vim. There's a port but it's buggy. But the Neovim port is great. Installation requires a little patience, but it works well. In any case, one should read the Clojure style guide on GitHub

In C, C++, Rust, Swift, &c I can determine how and when references go into or out of scope and get freed. The defining characteristic of a garbage collected system is an active outside process with priority and control over my code that

What matters most will be the quality of implementation. Is the compiler smart enough to know that an object passed 3 routines deep doesn't really escape the stack scope? If it can do that, it can elide all the cost of either approach

I hope that the 100-man years of top engineers version has some benefits over the 3-line newbie approach.
