> Web pages should be documents to be read, not programs to execute!

I really hope that you're not one one the people who are confused and upset that native mobile apps are replacing websites. If you want to know why web pages are becoming programs to execute, not documents to read, the answer is trivial: neither the content producers, nor the content consumers, are looking for web pages that are merely documents. They're looking for web pages that are programs. You want web sites to remain documents, but that doesn't meet (almost) anyone's needs.

zinc's "ioregs" macro system takes care of that sort of optimization quite nicely these days, actually. For each peripheral register, one of the things it generates is an "update" structure that the optimizer can eliminate, which allows you to chain updates to multiple fields in a single write. For example, in my stm32f4-discovery "blinky" example it does the bsrr writes to flip 2 LEDs in a single write (I've inspected the generated asm to verify this).

EDIT: nevermind, I realize I misunderstood; you're referring to the optimizer being able to see that both reg addresses have the same high 16 bits. I thought you were referring to the actual interactions with the register contents. Yea, that makes sense.

EDIT 2: for what it's worth, i did a quick test just now and found that moving the addresses into the source actually made the generated code significantly worse. I'm just tinkering around on a lunch break and I need to get back to real work, so I can't investigate too deeply, but the 2 biggest factors I see are that (1) it simply doesn't perform the optimization you describe, and (2) it makes things even worse because rather than addressing relative to the peripheral base address it loads a complete new constant address for every operation.

> Idiomatic _American_ English, perhaps, but even otherwise, it's still a grammatical error.

Its not a grammatical error (grammatically, its basically identical to the "could not" form, since "could" and "could not" are usable in the exact same grammatical positions.) There is a semantic mismatch between the individual terms taken in isolation and the idiomatic meaning of the phrase, but this is not uncommon in idiomatic phrases (one can view it as something like "[x] could (in theory, though it is unlikely in practice) care less.")
> If it's single address space, I wouldn't call it Virtual Memory.

The term "virtual memory" refers to a dynamic mapping between physical and virtual addresses. SAS doesn't preclude virtual memory; you can still have many of the advantages of virtual memory without multiple address spaces (for example, memory mapped files).
Your theory is incorrect. If I used my Cayman Islands shell company to start and control a Delaware LLC to start and control a Wyoming LLC that actually buys the house, then it will be very hard for you, even in theory, to figure out that I was the one who "actually" bought the property.

You'll need a lawsuit or three to 'pierce the corporate veil'.

Or I can start a trust, with the charter of keeping the land as a wildlife sanctuary, keeping it out of the hand of commercialization. And I can do this through attorneys, and keep my name out of the public record.

What you see with domain names is very similar to what happens in real life.
What's indisputable is that women get flooded with offers on dating sites. We agree there.

Whether or not this means that women can more easily find successful and enjoyable dates and/or relationships on dating sites... is another story.

An inbox full of unwanted advances from a bunch of strangers is not exactly a liberating experience, I wouldn't think. Certainly women I know don't think so.

They clearly have a greater number of suitors to choose from, yes, but like you say - men tend to approach women in such great numbers that there's no way to know who's worth pursuing.

How do you have a quality conversation with a stranger when 100 strangers are trying to talk to you simultaneously?

To top it off, the stakes are a little higher for women. A woman is one mistake (or one instance of violated consent) away from getting pregnant. A woman is always one step away from being sexually assaulted. Obviously men can be victims too, but adult female-on-male sexual assault is vanishingly rare.
I have an original Lytro camera.

I had a whole lot of fun with it at first, but it's fallen into disuse. The live refocusing is a fun trick, but in practice what the camera is really doing is taking ~10 simultaneous pictures with different focal lengths, and letting you choose among them after the fact when you're using their special app.

The novelty of this trick wears off quickly. In practice, I know what I want to focus on at the point when I'm taking the picture in the vast majority of circumstances, and if I want to keep my options open I can bracket. In those situations, using 90% of the sensor's pixels to record versions of the image using focal lengths I don't care about just means I'm getting a 1 megapixel image when I could have had 10.

Where I had high hopes was that this would be great for macrophotography, where focus is a lot harder to get right. Unfortunately it's really difficult to convince the camera to focus in close enough to capture the subject. I'm not sure if this is a physical limitation of the hardware or if it's a firmware issue, but either way it was disappointing.

So all that negative nellying aside, one spot where I think this technology could be really neat is in computer vision for robotics. I'm guessing that using a plenoptic camera instead of a stereoscopic pair of cameras for vision would enable capture of better 3D information, or at least 3D information with different characteristics that might be more useful in some circumstances.
> The labeling of the valuation as wrong and implying it is generally known is what I'm objecting to.

I was saying that the valuation is not high enough to keep people from throwing out reusable bags (ie what you said: "disposable trash"). I didn't use the word "wrong" in any of my comments and I don't think I implied it either. What I (thought I) was implying is that the low perceived value of reusable bags was hurting the city's goal (note: not "my goal", which I also never said, though yeah I support it) of reducing the use of plastic.

Clearly you're taking issue with what you assumed was the subtext of my comment. I can't help that. The most I can do is clarify.

Society isn't healthy at large.

Wealth is massively concentrated, and has a larger sway in things than democratic routes. The government has been on a 30 year warpath in the Middle East, with no sign of stopping. Torture has been forgiven; gulags for the tortured are accepted and permanent. A huge percentile of the US population is in prison or on parole-- far larger than other countries. Aside from this, the government used a terror attack as an excuse to start removing civil liberties in a slow march.
"It seems though that if you need Internet Explorer 8 support, you’ll have to stick to using Bootstrap 3."

I'm kind of surprised. No doubt some user bases have user bases running newer browsers, but with IE 8 still sitting at ~13% market share[1] I suspect this will prevent many people from using Bootstrap 4, including myself.

Has there ever been speculation about the increased energy output from the Sun in part causing the Cambrian explosion? (The Sun you to be a good bit dimmer.) In other words, could we have reached a critical point in the evolution of the Sun’s energy output to allow for the Cambrian explosion to unfold? At that point, life would have had more energy available to evolve into more complex lifeforms?

"Through the CCF, as well as by more direct means, the CIA became a major player in intellectual life during the Cold War—the closest thing that the U.S. government had to a Ministry of Culture. This left a complex legacy. During the Cold War, it was commonplace to draw the distinction between “totalitarian” and “free” societies by noting that only in the free ones could groups self-organize independently of the state. But many of the groups that made that argument—including the magazines on this left—were often covertly-sponsored instruments of state power, at least in part. Whether or not art and artists would have been more “revolutionary” in the absence of the CIA’s cultural work is a vexed question; what is clear is that that possibility was not a risk they were willing to run. "

I wonder if the CIA really stopped being the Ministry of Culture?
Personally, I don't identify with any titles, and that's where my compassion for other situations comes from. (People do try though; just the other day someone attempted to label my image as "Amish surfer"...)

My point being: it's irrelevant wether someone is "Western", Christian or otherwise; all that is important is their desire. Language is often inadequate for expressing these motivations (even moreso when there is a barrier). Respect others as capable, intelligent humans who have experienced just as much circumstance as you, and allow them to make their own decisions.

Their conclusions will likely be different from your own, but that shouldn't be offensive. Everyone is unique.

Right. But from the context of the employee, it's a distinction without a difference. By using a company computer, the chances of your activities being keylogged and tracked with absurd amounts of granularity go up significantly. If you're not the owner of the hardware (and, hell, sometimes even when you are), all bets are off.

Of course from a company's perspective will the distinction actually be meaningful, but that didn't seem to be what the parent comment was going for.
The top 10 remodeling hot spots in the US
To be totally honest, there are so many technologies out there that claim to solve analytics that it's tough to seriously consider all of them.

That said, we have looked at Druid, which is also a good example of using lambda architecture in practice (http://druid.io/docs/0.8.0/design/design.html -- note the historical vs realtime distinction). They use many of the same design principles as us, and one of our sub-systems is very similar to it. We still believe the pre-aggregation approach is critical for performance in our use case, though. Lastly, when we started building the architecture (mid-2014), Druid was very new, and I'm generally wary of designing everything around a new and potentially unstable piece of software.
Sure, but this only gets you to a local maximum because eventually you pass the point where it is objectively worth it to revisit the foundations of computing. This is the downside of human sentience and global communication where we are incapable of exploring different paths in an evolutionary fashion because we know it's not worth it unless a critical mass joins us, and we know a critical mass will never join us on something that is too foundational across existing bodies of work.

The main problem is that there aren't good ways for Haskell analyzers to communicate with a Java/C++ UI in memory. So you get clunky+slow network/IPC APIs (or worse, communication via filesystem) for stuff that ought to be tiny in-process method calls.

And writing the whole UI in Haskell is...not Haskell's strength area.

I personally don't like that Coursera dropped free certificates of accomplishments for many courses. While this might not be such a problem in the US, I (living in Germany) see this as a serious problem in countries as Germany, Austria or Brazil, where it is essential that you have some certificate to prove that you really took the course.

What I'm particularly angry about is that in former days you could get a free certificate of accomplishment for the courses from the Data Science specification

> https://www.coursera.org/specialization/jhudatascience/

A few weeks ago Coursera changed the policy even for these existing courses. That's why I completely lost any trust that I had in Coursera and will actively avoid taking courses from Coursera (and instead look what edX has to offer).
