Yeah, under that definition everything that supports FFI has merged into a massive unholy mess with C. I guess if it can't be "natively" compiled/interpreted as the same language without inlining or including, I'd say it's a different language.
Chips? Luxury! In the mid 1980s the ZX Spectrum only had a 3.5MHz Z80, a sound chip that could only beep, and synthesis had to be done in hand-optimised assembler! Uphill, both ways!

So it's more equal because they are all poorer together. It's really not that hard. Hard to be unequal if you're pretty much without wealthy people.
I am not honestly not sure what to think.

The document is clearly a joke. There is no way in hell someone produced this with a straight face, and that people then accepted it. But either the whole internet is in on the joke, or the articles about it really support your version: That it is not sure whether that's a joke. That the world this stems from is so absurd that it just might be the real thing.

> At the time Eich made that donation, every major Democratic presidential candidate (including Clinton and Obama) were ALSO publicly opposed to marriage equality. So it seemed like extreme mental gymnastics to put a "hate speech" label on Eich.

No, the extreme mental gymnastics here involve thinking that hate speech can be defined by looking at the content of Clinton and Obama's campaign speeches.

The ouster came six years after his donation. The only way that could be characterized as "long ago" is by the use of extreme mental gymnastics.

Anyway, donating to Proposition 8 is equivalent to making the statement "I will actively work to take other people's rights away, even though it will never affect me". Is it any surprise that he was ousted? It was a disaster for Mozilla to associate with him.
"TL: One major reason why people experience pain while at work is that they seek stress and pain in their work; this is often called "work ethic" or "hard work". If work ethic is very important to you and you manage to make your workstation more comfortable, you should look for other sources of stress and pain to compensate to compensate for the new-found comfort. (An easy one is just to work longer.) Similarly, you probably already work very comfortably if you value relaxation and health; if that is the case my above recommendations will probably have only small impacts. ~*"

Presuming your "productivity" stays the same, you would either have 16 releases of size "1" after two days, or 1 release of size "16". Either way, the size of the code to examine would be the same, right?
You would still have the benefit of getting the new features faster to the user, so I would say quick releases are still beneficial.

In your situation, I would look for ways to detect the issues earlier. Ideally, you know about it before the user does (which is easier said than done, I know). Added benefit of this: quicker feedback will help you pinpoint the problematic release ;-)

Qatar's 787 was pretty uncomfortable for me on a 6 hour flight. 9 across seating and a very tight seat pitch (31 inch) is not ideal for that long a flight. The QR 777 I took had slightly wider seats (still 9 across) and a little more leg room but much more noise in the cabin compared with a 787 or A380.

I've only flown Emirates A380, but for me it beats both easily in terms of comfort.

Agreed, but in this context "knowing how to code" is not the same as "being able to code".

I know how to code. I understand it, and can hack at basic programs written by other people. That doesn't mean I can code. That would require years of practice and, like the author, it's just not my thing. I'm better at other stuff.
So, this article not only retranslates Vietcong propanagda, but the only commentary it seems to offer is by Vietcong themselves, with phrases like "resistance to foreign invasion".

I agree! Wikipedia in the beginning there was very little information, but it did not stop them and now we are using it for more information.

Our users can also contribute to the improvement of the search. We all have favorites bookmarks, that we use, and each of us knows what resources we like. And this is enough to help others discover new and useful information.

Because we will be able to index user-specified resources quickly, as soon as something new and useful.

And in the search results will be dynamic results. For example, we introduce the "design", and obtain search results from designers, introduce the "php" - we get the results from the developers.

And there may be the most popular and useful resources, latest news, tools and other work, what kind of people) use

This will allow us to get a whole lot of responses to a search query)

"Resistance to foreign invasion" is essentially accurate, is it not? I find the quotes interesting. They help to illustrate the rhetoric which likely motivated much of North — that there were foreign countries intervening in what many locals considered a country's own struggle and not just another battlefield for a proxy war.

I think pieces like this are important. Whilst you can disagree with it, it still makes you consider the views held by millions on the other side.

The author compares gcc vs rustc.[1]

I'm curious if the author considered comparing clang vs rustc since both use the LLVM backend. (I'm guessing the more mature C++ code generation would still win the benchmark but one could study the intermediate code emitted by clang/rustc instead of the final machine code emitted by gcc.)

See, for example, the Cricket Test. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricket_test

> The cricket test, also known as the Tebbit test, was a controversial phrase coined in April 1990 by the British Conservative politician Norman Tebbit in reference to the perceived lack of loyalty to the England cricket team among South Asian and Caribbean immigrants and their children. Tebbit suggested that those immigrants who support their native countries rather than England at the sport of cricket are not significantly integrated into the United Kingdom.[1]

I think it's dumb, but a bunch of English people at the time seemed to think it was useful and relevant.
Original article on the Guardian http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/dec/30/rakhigarhi-indi...
Curiously, most variations of the C++ version run only half as fast as they should on Intel Haswell chips, probably because of branch prediction failures

I haven't looked at the code yet (time for bed) but this note from Agner seems like it might be relevant:

3.8 Branch prediction in Intel Haswell, Broadwell and Skylake

The branch predictor appears to have been redesigned in the
Haswell, but very little is known about its construction.

The measured throughput for jumps and branches varies
between one branch per clock cycle and one branch per two
clock cycles for jumps and predicted taken branches.
Predicted not taken branches have an even higher throughput
of up to two branches per clock cycle.

The high throughput for taken branches of one per clock was
observed for up to 128 branches with no more than one
branch per 16 bytes of code. If there is more than one
branch per 16 bytes of code then the throughput is reduced
to one jump per two clock cycles. If there are more than
128 branches in the critical part of the code, and if they
are spaced by at least 16 bytes, then apparently the first
128 branches have the high throughput and the remaining
have the low throughput.

These observations may indicate that there are two branch
prediction methods: a fast method tied to the μop cache and
the instruction cache, and a slower method using a branch
target buffer.

http://www.agner.org/optimize/microarchitecture.pdf

At a glance, the symptoms seem like this might match. Separately, I think there is still a limit of 3 branches per 16B before the branch prediction starts to fail. It's rare to hit this in normal code, but something this optimized might.

Supporting a country in cricket and supporting a country in a war are two very different things. To be very clear, we weren't talking about cricket, soccer, or the Olympics; so bringing it up is useless.

That's the thing about dual citizenship. It's not irrational to support your country of origin, unless you're part of a class of persecuted people. That is the place where you were born and raised, and where you derive your (initial) cultural values which you may or may not keep.

http://www.latimes.com/opinion/editorials/la-ed-dual-citizen...

"But the concept of dual citizenship is problematic both symbolically and practically, and could become divisive if more immigrants decide to avail themselves of the privileges of U.S. citizens — as we believe they ought to do. U.S citizens with strong ties to their ancestral countries have been accused of divided loyalties in the past even when they didn't possess citizenship in those countries — witness the internment of 110,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans during World War II. But when a U.S. citizen is also a citizen of another country, the accusation is even easier to make."

Ending dual citizenship would help prevent a future version of Japanese internment in the US.
This is really fantastic to get an understanding of how Rust works in a real world environment. As a non-systems developer I am finding the Rust language to be a little cryptic though in particular the many new syntax elements that don't exist in other languages.

I would be curious to know if there are plans like Swift to simplify the language syntax in the future or if it is just something to get used to.

I work all days being a single person start-up and thinking, coding, iterating. But what I have seen is I do not work all the time. I keep doing other stuff like household chores, attending to family, going out etc. In short I do very focused work in short bursts, say an hour or two in a day 2 or 3 times. I sleep as well in between if I cannot concentrate. I have found it very difficult to be doing something at a stretch. In fact I shutdown and do thinking with a notebook, fall asleep, wake up and continue thinking where I left and find sometimes interesting and easy way to solve things. Then I go and code it. I have found I cannot fit my thought process in a well-defined time boundary of morning 9 - 5 like I was expected in a day job.

I'm not sure the industry suffers from ageism in the way most people here think it does. The start-up community hiring cocky 24 year old team leads who refuse to heed advice from their seniors definitely aren't going to be hiring the older guy, sure.

However, remove the funding and force these companies to actually compete on merit and only those who are actually capable of delivering will still exist. At that point, hopefully, we'll see a rise of new leaders who actally value excellence.

The point is, we can only afford to value hipness over experience in bubbles and it looks like this one's about to burst. Of course, I'm not from the future, so I could be wrong.

I think it's a weakness to omit thought and speech of outward appearance.

Race for some is more than outward appearance. It's a line of community strategy. It's a shared language. It's shared food. Shared customs. Shared values. There's something beautiful and treacherous there.

Race as a social reality exists whether we talk about or it not. Omitting speech destroys a valuable technique for counterbalancing instinct. Omitting thought disarms people from contemplating social reality.

I learned to program in BASIC from a copy of "The Beginner's Programming Handbook" that my father gave to me. Like many other commenters on this thread, I didn't have a computer, but the illustrations in the book itself made it clear that programs were always written on notepads (just look at the cover http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/userdata/images/medium/PR...). As soon as I found a sufficiently yellow notepad I knew I had everything required to code.)

This book showed me how to code simple car crash games, in-memory databases, Eliza, bubble and shell sort.

I loved this book so much I've carried it with me over an accumulated 22,800km, in the hopes that one day, my kids too will have their imaginations full of gaudy little robots who run to interpret code on yellow spiral-bound notepads.
