    It seems to me that the new generation has plenty of socially awkward programmers and a good number of confident people programming.

    I rather feel we're running low on young programmers.
    We have proprietary and closed, ``granny-safe'' platforms left and right, they encourage usage and thinking of it as a magical box, not development and thinking of it as a user-programmable machine.

    Want to spawn a generation of programmers? Teach unix in school, instead of how to click your way through MS-Word.

  9. Re:At what speed? on Google: Our Robot Cars Are Better Drivers Than You · · Score: 1

    You're not doing the speed limit.

    Yes, I do. Nowhere I said, nor implied anything else, so I take this as a textbook attempt to establish a straw-man. Oh wait, no, it's simply a bold and false claim about something you can not possibly know about, making me even more certain you're a complete idiot. Not that further evidence was actually necessary...
    Protip: Most sections of the parts of the Autobahn I typically drive on does not even have a speed limit, so it would be pretty difficult to me to break it.

    Now as for the only thing worth responding to:

    Two miles an hour difference shouldn't bother you.

    Completely wrong. Relative distances between cars are pretty small, even when not tailgating. Hence, even two (ignoring you were originally talking about three) mph do matter.
    It causes people /at/ the speed limit to unnecessarily overtake, temporarily reducing the road capacity by one lane.
    This is my last attempt to explain this to you, as you are obviously unable to do some basic thinking on your own.

    As for why...:

    Troll [...] You're speeding. [...] Thanks for trolling. [...] You're not doing the speed limit.[...] Two miles an hour difference shouldn't bother you. [...] what a douche you are [...] Two miles an hour difference wouldn't bother you [...] Asshole [...] stupid asshole.

    Are you still surprised I was assuming you forgot your meds today?
    Nice mix of insults, lies, logical fallacies and ad hominem, anyway.

    Calling "BILD am Sonntag" a newspaper is a joke by itself. I'm German, so I know this first hand, taking a look at their website, however, should convince everyone else to a similar degree I presume you don't even have to understand German in order to see what sort of 'newspaper' we're dealing with, here.

    Whoa, forgot your meds today. You don't sound very stress-free.

    You're breaking the law, not me.

    How am I breaking the law?

    You and your impatience and wanting to make the highway look like the Indy 500 are the crappy driver. It isn't a fucking road race and I refure to join your herd.

    Thanks demonstrating how little attention you're actually paying. Try reading the post you're replying to again.

    Yes, you're an asshole for driving like that and calling me out for obeying the law. And you're too fucking stupid to realize that.

    So I'm an asshole for driving at the speed limit. I see. And I call you out for ``obeying the law'', hm? No, I call you out for slowing everyone down by doing less than the given speed limt allows.

    I'm not driving in the left lane, just go around me, asshole.

    This is exactly why you're causing trouble and slow down everybody around you.
    Seriously, after even spelling it out yourself, don't you see how you are a fucking obstacle on your lane even to those who drive at the speed limit?

    I can only repeat, I am truly looking forward to the day crappy [and stupid] drivers like you get replaced by machines.

    You're slowing down everyone else, and are part of the reason why 'everyone else' around you is fighting.
    It's stress-free for you, but you're causing additional stress to others.
    I am looking forward to the moment crappy drivers like you get replaced by machines.

    That's a nice way to deal with things.
    The only problems is, it makes too much sense. The US are never going to adopt it.

    In fact, in a world of self driving cars, I don't see why we would need a speed limit. The car can be trusted to drive within its own limits..

    Yeah, it basically becomes a question of road capacity.
    However, going too fast will still be bad both from a pedestrian-safety and energy investment point of view

    The bad news is, we likely won't even reach those places, due to the vast distance. If we do, we maybe found a way to take 'shortcuts', but then, orders can be sent through those shortcuts, too.
