The UK conservative government and labour opposition sure seem to agree they are doing it. Do you have a definition of austerity which disagrees? The WP definition and press also seem to agree. See eg http://money.cnn.com/2014/12/08/news/economy/uk-endless-aust...

The budget effects are just evidence that austerity by spending cuts is not a very good way of saving the government money in the current situation. Cutting government spending in a recession can shrink the whole economy and cause tax revenue to drop even more, and then the resulting budget deficit proves you need to make yet more spending cuts, etc.

See http://mainlymacro.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-academic-consens... for a more detailed marcoeconomic explanation of what's happening. (edit: changed to a newer and more fitting post from the same blog)
An AOT compiler can decide to compile a JIT code generator into the binary, so even in theory AOT beats JIT. In practice it almost never makes sense to do this for a language that isn't full of gratuitous dynamism.
I agree with you. However some people use social justice as an excuse to be awful to others. Combine that with the fact(?) that loud minorities are often generalized to be representative of the whole (especially when that minority confirms prejudices about the whole), and "social justice warrior" takes on a negative meaning.
This is probably the best historical document looking at the original discussions around IPng (which eventually became v6). Interestingly these debates were happening right around the time of the invention of the www so there isn't a lot online today.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1454

Section 6 (Transition Plans) talks about plans to use new headers or IP Options to carry the extra information for the new protocol in an IPv4 packet. In the end they went for the alternative which was not to have a transition plan, they went for the dual stack approach instead.

The SIP proposal is interesting, it's basically the same as v4 but with 64 bit addresses. They were worried that it might not be enough, of course their predictions about exhausting the 32 bit address space were off by decades.

Illegal immigrants drive down unskilled labour costs, which is beneficial to the economy... they don't get welfare, or have access to non-emergency healthcare, and they typically live in cramped shared accomodation so put much less strain per head on housing than all the Russian oligarchs who buy Chelsea investment properties to leave vacant.

So I'm not really sure what your objection is... unless it's the obvious one.

I'm a little surprised by your first comment as I've found their technical support via 'live chat' excellent in both response time & ability. Their first line often aren't able to fix the issue but they've always been able to communicate with some sort of escalation to fix my issues while keeping me up to date in the chat window. I've not used their 'support tickets' anywhere near as much.

I'm guessing you've been using support tickets and found it slower? Have you tried Live Chat? What sorts of questions have you found them lacking in ability to respond?

Yes, this. It seems like it might be interesting after digging through it, but I really can't decide because I have no idea what this actually does for me.

So far what I've been able to gather is that Loriot has a bunch of antennas in several countries, and you can buy a hardware device to gain a network connection through those antennas to the Loriot servers, which in turn lets you communicate with your own servers. No idea if this is the correct interpretation.

edit: I just found https://www.loriot.io/lora-lorawan-loriot.html which seems like a good introduction. It was hidden behind a few links, though.

How do we save Reddit from the people who aggressively try to change it?
I don't see Reddit as this platform at all since if it takes some more turns away from entertaining their visitors to something else, it won't be Reddit anymore. So why do that to Reddit at all?

When I go to reddit, I want entertainment. To do this I follow rule 5 of the Pentabarf: "A Discordian is Prohibited of Believing What he Reads.". This is how the page works out for me. From this point of view all that stress that happened recently seems pretty ridiculous to me. It seemed like they decided to tar the garden. Because after that you can be sure what will be in the area. Parked cars. If you now put a shopping mall next to it, it will still work, people will go there and hang out because there is not much else to do. But I don't see that as a creative pool anymore and it will bore me at some point. I'm pretty sure about it.

On the other hand there is this opportunity that grew with the Pao disaster. As far as I could see there is not one portal that came up with an real alternative that would catch "the spirit". Instead we got the hate-reddit and some hipster-reddits all in protection-mode just like Reddit today. Everyone is managing this their way (by circlejerking, minimum vote count which leads to more circlejerking or invite only).

This is no development of a culture that would participate in your "forum of the world". This is just a poor recap of real life politics. Their sides, dogmas and means to protect their world view. Killing everything that might threaten it on a meta-level.

I'm not really sure the Post-Snowden Internet we have today is even the right medium. I don't want my political views profiled and sold to the highest bitter. I don't want to give power to bot networks, circle jerks, SJWs, etc. We are still unable to cope with this groups within a entertainment network, how should we get them to interact on really relevant topics without just banning them from participation? Which seems to be the best way to go right now...
> What austerity? The UK total budget expenditures have gone up every year.

Yeah, sure. As we all know, numbers don't lie. However, oversimplification, obliviousness, intellectual dishonesty and ignorance do. I won't try to infer in which "bucket" you fell, but looking at the raw value of GBP spent is no way to analyse government spending.

Hmmm I've a distinctly different experience. In my experience their support is good and their engineers quite knowledgeable. Tickets are dealt with within reasonable time frames. If I really do need something to happen quickly, I can call in and have someone knowledgeable on the phone within 10 minutes, who often will do whatever is necessary right away. During a recent issue they had two engineers in two time zones working on it, to shorten the time to fix as much as possible (still took a long time, but it was a difficult issue so ...).
Well, at least in Windows it was always the case with .NET.

NGEN is there since day one, but they always kept it quite simple in optimizations and only allowed for dynamic linking (no static binaries). Also it required signed binaries, which many people did not bothered with.

Windows Phone 8 adopted the Singularity toolchain with AOT compilation in the store, with a dynamic linker on the phone. .NET Native just moves the WP8 linker out of the device and produces static binaries instead.
I think most of those examples have a rational basis and the non-emotional person could probably make better decisions than the rest of us e.g. choosing a job offer on the basis of benefits and prospects rather than because the office looked cool.

Such a person would make an astounding diplomat.

The reward mechanism would probably be in maximizing physical comfort in return for minimal physical effort.
Which generation is this? I live in the UK and I don't see this at all. Some people are dependent on government assistance, but typically with good reason: disability making them unfit for work, high unemployment / economic decline in their area, being too old to work, being a child in a poor family, and so on.
Can you cite "many" examples? Some people might think that, others might be trying to reach a country speaking a language they can understand, trying to reach their family, etc, etc. Data would help when claiming something like that.

At first glance, I thought this was going to be like Selector Gadget (http://selectorgadget.com/), a tool I've used for years to get CSS selectors for elements on pages. But it gives you a unique selector for the unique element you click, which adds a different angle.

I've got to admit, I'm not sure I'd use this over SG since SG can nail down to a single element if you use it the right way, but it's great to see more tools of this nature, as it can really help when doing ad-hoc scraping.
I'd built a device with an MSP430 and have been meaning to try CamelForth on it instead of using my own C code.

> 1/ (often much) better runtime performance (i.e. more optimized code) and

Do you have a cite for that? Except for method inlining, which only requires a trivial JIT compiler, I haven't seen them beating normal compilers. The argument that you should be able to use the programs runtime data to perform specific optimizations seems to me to be oversold. Since the JIT compiler must be reasonably fast it eschews many optimization techniques that AOT compilers can afford to use.

One can still appreciate things on an intellectual level. A lot of people with depression experience something similar during depressive episodes. It's like someone dialed down a knob on the intensity of the world. In the absolute worst case you decide life isn't worth living and follow through on that, it happens hundreds of thousands of times a year around the world. In better cases you don't give up and you do the best with the muted world you've been given to live in and you try to figure out ways to dial it back up (through CBT, exercise, drugs (legal and not), etc.)
What's illogical about it? In fact being a psychopath is the most logical thing (promoting your interests with cold logic with care or mercy for others).

All other behaviors need either a faith in some God or man-given morality, ethics, or emotions like love, mercy etc (which, as emotions, are not logical).

Of course one can logically come to the conclusion that behaving moraly instead of like a psychopath is better for humanity. But even in that case, giving a damn for what's better for humanity (instead of what maximizes your benefits in your lifespan) is illogical.
The extremely flexible API of ProcessWire (no template engine here, just pure PHP in a JQuery inpsired API [1] ) lets you expose parts or whole of your website structure as JSON REST services (or XML, or plain text, or RSS, or what want you).

As a bonus, the it also makes writing simple pure-php "templates" (yea, its not really templates, but) super easy. You basically just drop in your HTML/CSS/JS stuff, and add a few pw api lines here and there, and you're done.

In my experience after 8 years of Drupal experience, and 1 year of ProcessWire experience, is that PW is what Drupal should have been from the start: Elegant, Lightweight, Fast, and Flexible. I'm sold!

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/relax/relax/gh-pages/asset... shows the key features are WYSIWYG-style building of entire HTML pages.

This is not a Content Management System, but a Page Management System. A CMS works with structured content and the relations between those pieces of structured content. It allows you to model the data it needs to store, receive (forms) and render. So you can then reuse, combine and display that data in any way you need.

(Many projects/people conflate "page builder" with "CMS".)

That being said, this looks very nice :) There totally are use cases for an easy-to-use page builder :)

I agree that Greece is another example of austerity, and one with more extreme measures than the UK.

The current UK government hasn't done anything substantial to improve the efficiency of public services. Instead they've generally reduced the level of service. It's not more efficient, just worse.
Indeed.

Drupal 8 does exactly this. Use Drupal 8 for data modeling and storing the data. Use its forms if you want to. Retrieve the data using GraphQL and do all the rendering yourself. It even is capable of a hybrid model, where it serves pages BigPipe-style, and you do client-side rendering for the most dynamic/interactive parts.

See http://buytaert.net/the-future-of-decoupled-drupal.
This could probably be more intuitive. Drawing walls is not click and drag. You simply click to create corners. Hopefully that is the issue you were running into!
I use Selector Gadget too and I was recommending users of Flutter use it to get selectors. However, I'm trying to make the process of getting a unique selector for any element so simple it won't put anyone off.

The article seems to ignore a variety of very real benefits that you get from the JIT. In many real world cases, there are optimizations that the JIT can perform. For example:

final boolean runF = ...; //In *this* program run, it works out to be false.
...
if (runF) {
f(x);
}

The JIT can just eliminate this branch entirely. More interestingly:

if (cond) {
myVar = f(x); //f(x) has provably no side effects
}

Supposing cond is nearly always true, the JIT can optimistically run f and in parallel check cond. In the unlikely event that cond is false, the JIT will still compute the return value of f(x), but just not do the assignment.

It surprised me when I saw all this happen, but the JVM's JIT is actually pretty smart and works very well for long running server processes.
Yeah but "that they" is awkward.

But when an entire industry (or community in the case of the gaming community) behave like dicks, with the result that women generally feel uncomfortable working in the industry, we can't just brush it off as individual behaviour.

Oh, I don't brush it off as individual behavior.

If anything I sort of brush it off as what humans in general do. We are often mean or jerks to one another.

The problem with women is not that those men are especially mean towards them, but that they are fewer working in the industry -- and thus form a kind of minority group which is an easier target (add the curiosity factor, and that people inevitably bring their sexuality issues -- separate from sexism -- into the workplace, because it's something inherently important to them).

Austerity is a macroeconomic thing. I've not seen any definition of austerity that states or implies that it has to affect everybody equally, or that all people have to be negatively affected. So it makes little sense to argue that it isn't austerity just because one type of spending went up.
