Yes it does! That is the code that creates the entire poster - including the code at the bottom, the title, the author, the year, and the cc-attribution-nocommercial graphic.

I'll immodestly refer you to the Ulam Spiral I made the bottom of which is the source code for the program which makes the poster.

Because C++ is multi-paradigm, all paradigms are possible within it (although they may not be syntactically easy or have reasonable error messages, etc etc). Therefore, either C++ is the obviously the best language (to its partisans) or it is a hellish agglomeration of mutually contradictory confusing crap that takes years to begin to understand (to its detractors). Unfortunately, those two camps each find their position obvious, and seem to be unable to communicate with one another.

You can, however, use it. Which is a good thing (a social good!). Even more, transit capital is allocated by use, not by profit. More people using it should (in a non-stupid world) lead to more investment in the infrastructure, which has long term positive benefits for everyone (or, at least, has had them every time in the past in NYC).
For NYC, it has been estimated that every car driving in lower Manhattan incurs ... goddammit I can't find a reference so I'm going with memory here ... at least ~$3 in social costs due to increased pollution, congestion, road wear, etc.. That's in addition to the costs paid by the driver (car depreciation, gas, insurance, opportunity costs, etc.). If that memory is really true, then subsidizing transit to eliminate these social costs ends up being a huge net win!
If we want people to do something, we should subsidize it and (in the case of transit) make it free[1]. If we don't want people to do something, we should tax it (Pigouvian taxes FTW!).
[1] - Transit will never be as fast as driving due to the extra stops and walk required at either end, so we need to keep it free to minimise the total cost of fare + extra_time_wasted*salary, which corresponds to opportunity cost to riders. Riders whose total cost is too high will not ride, and riding transit is a social good (or is at least much less of a social bad then driving).
People looking for postdocs almost always have a specific sort of funding and it is attached to the credentialing.
It's not that safe.

It's too bad that game that need more lookahead - Tetris, etc, are not amenable to this approach.
I liked not having to think really hard while clothes shopping. I liked it a lot. But I suppose a target market of "people who hate clothes shopping due to the artificially high cognitive load" is a pretty slim market segment.
Basically, right now, a CS PhD can find a tenure-track job if they are willing to broaden their search to include non-research-only professor jobs. Of course, this should not necessarily inform whether a person should get a PhD in CS, as it takes 4-6 (or more) years and who knows if this will still be true then.
The guys that own their own cars are not Uber employees - they can sign up to be dispatched by traditional radios instead (or as well). So, from my sample in NYC, Uber is way better than existing models for the drivers.
Depressed people need head doctors in much the same way that physically injured people need body doctors. For mild cases "walk it off" might work (in both head- and body- problems), but depression is more like a broken bone than it is like a mildly sprained ankle.
In the worst case scenario, you still have your current job.
