Spoken like a true hacker

I think easier to automate than to do by hand.

All of this can be automated with sh, git & sed.

Tell us more!

If the whole world could unite with a better system of measure of space (meter) then the same can happen for measures of time.

The french did a great job reforming measurements for weight, length, volume, etc with the metric system.

Let's do the same for time - no more time zones, make the base unit a day and then it can be divided or multiplied in the 10s, 100s, 1000s, etc.

The Clojure debugger in CIDER was written by a Brazilian. Obrigado!

In Germany they are commonplace because the German system is the most intricate snake nest of paperwork and bureaucracy. Love the country, but jesus christ how could the system ever be navigated by one person, let alone a foreigner?

What's the premium of having a US passport? Canadian, UK, Scandinavian, Dutch, HK, Japanese, really whatever developed nations passport seems to be a better deal.

At least in Swedish they are called "Finlandssvenskar", which means Finland-swedes. That is why I count them as Swedes just like the Swedes living in Sweden, Norway, Denmark or anywhere else.

We who browse HN like the idea of self-driving cars, but does anyone have a nuanced perspective on their usefulness? I don't know much about AI compared to many here. It has been said that things which humans learn at very young age are hard to automate (identifying things you see, walking, social things) while things we learn as adults are easy to automate (accounting, telegraphs, file cabinets).

Car driving definitely contains elements that we learn as kids (seeing things in motion, identifying what is a human and what is a rock) while some things are learned as adults (what does that sign mean, how to count KM/H, how transmission works).

Are we really close to autonomous vehicles on the streets?

I guess the difference is that it's users are not at the mercy of bankers (made of flesh, tradition and law) but instead predicable computer programs (made of logic & code).

Just FYI his name is Linus (just like Linus Torvalds). It's a common name for Swedes (Torvalds in from the Swedish minority in Finland).

The Linux name is a play on Linus' name.

The Å in Åkesson can be typed on a US keyboard by hitting alt+a. To make ä & ö you'd hit `alt+u a` and `alt+u o`. To make a ø, which is the Norwegian/Danish way to say ö, you type `alt-o`.

EDIT: the keyboard things are on a US layout on a Mac. For a standard keyboard it might be the same, or not. I don't know...

Just FYI, 'mn' means million. Had not seen it shortened like that before.
