And crank up the warning level to help you find inconsistencies between headers and declarations. In fact, you might need to start by cleaning up header files.
Doxygen can help you find truly dead code.
Cloned code is a pain to deal with - I don't know how you fix that. I guess it depend on how much of it there is..
They have prettied it up quite a bit, but the underlying protocol is still there. I can run X applications on my Ubuntu 14.04 box, and they display just like they used to 20 years ago. The colors are a bit different, but the basic protocol is still there.
In reality all this lets you do is reskin a standard car with any sort of body that you want, but under the hood it is still the same as every other car. Which is probably still a good thing - otherwise maintenance becomes a nightmare.
Java isn't at all immune to the 3rd party library issue and in fact the Java world seems to have it far worse when you start developing complex applications.
What I find even more appalling is that fact projects that use maven seem to want to hoover down half of the internet, and you have to trust that the bundles/jars that it is pulling down are all of decent quality, and that the repository has not in fact been compromised.
Every time I look at things like Hulu I find virtually none of the programs that I typically like to watch. News? Nada. Have to stream it elsewhere if I can find it. Various Discovery/Science/History channels? Nothing that I want to watch. Documentaries? Minimal, and nothing of interest. Shows like Stewart/Colbert? Nope - have to go directly to comedycentral to get that.
Here is what I don't watch. Movies, sitcoms, reality TV, cop/csi or any other drama. Don't watch sports, don't watch home shopping, don't want/watch things like HBO.
I suppose you could tweak the HVAC when you are on your way there so that it is comfy when you get there.
But other than that it seems kind of pointless. Yet something else to twiddle with just to say you can do it, and then curse the thing when something goes wrong.
Well if you don't mind paying 50-100$/pound of coffee, I guess the Keurig thing works out for you. And I suppose if you only drank one cup per day, it might still work to your advantage.
That's not a problem that is unique to Linux however. Many commercial products have the same issues - the marketing and planning people want new features as that helps them sell upgrades and maintenance, and in the past those sorts of things were prioritized higher than things like a security audit which management concluded weren't something that one could sell.
It is only when customers demand security audits of the products that they buy that this will change.
Yes, underground lines are less likely to be knocked out, but going underground is quite expensive, and someone has to pay for it. And the cost to the end user for things like spoiled food and so forth aren't borne by the power companies - their only cost is the cost of the electricity that they don't sell and the cost of the repairs. That being said, in our area, they are in the process of burying a subset of the lines that are considered to be the most problematic (the ones that are knocked out most frequently and affect a lot of customers).
That being said, for overhead wires you *must* keep the tree branches away from the wires, and the way to do this is with tree trimming. It used to be that power companies had an annual budget for tree trimming to minimize problems, but my understanding is that to maximize profits they have cut way back on this and just deal with the outages as they occur.
The Payroll/HR stuff can be contracted out - especially if you don't need a full time person to do the job. Our neighbor works as a consultant providing exactly these types of services. If you become successful, and you grow then you can hire a fulltime HR/Payroll person..
That makes it easier to focus on your core functions.
You are assuming that a warming climate is more helpful, but you could have a warm dry desert which doesn't help any of us. Or it may be that in some areas it will be a desert - in others it might be more like what you describe.
There are no guarantees that the outcome will be one to our liking.

I can just imagine how unreadable such code would end up being, as any comments would look like they were written by some sort of AI tool.
and then use F2C to convert it to C code before I check in.. Try analyzing that!

Maybe they were using it as fuel.
Something isn't adding up here, but it wouldn't have surprised me of the obfuscation filter otherwise known as the media has garbled the message.
Or the Turboencabulator. It sounds neat - whatever it does.
When I was a kid, I made a phone out of an old radio, a tape recorder microphone and a telegraph key. It didn't work well, but it was kind of fun.

I for one resent paying for very expensive programming that I never watch.

Open the fridge door, HAL.
I am sorry, Dave, but I am afraid that I cannot do that.
I could see someone making a movie about this. But it probably wouldn't be Sony.

that you can flush from your smartphone.
All fun and games until a hacker gets in and causes it to overflow.
and you would have a fine table.

It is funny - I have been getting more and more frustrated with Firefox. They add all sorts of crap, but do nothing to resolve longstanding problems.

Every time they overhaul things, they break stuff right and left. Why can't they leave things alone that are working properly?

In the arctic and antarctic there is plenty of warming - the ice sheets and glaciers are thinning, and that is something that is very measurable.
You need to get VAG-COM from Ross-Tech. A little pricey but it does an incredible job of letting you configure the car.
