The classical world is more diverse than people seem to think. Most string players I know play on modern instruments, made within the last hundred years. Likewise actual musicians don't idolize young prodigies – both of these things are marketing phenomena that the actual artists generally oppose.

That said, the idea that there's no difference between a great old instrument and a modern one is just as fallacious. Perhaps as a not great violinist you never got to the point where you got to find out, but there are qualities of an instrument that have nothing to do with sound. The fact that a Strad costs $5 million and an Iizuka costs $27,000 is ludicrous, yes. But the great old instruments are still around for a reason.

I really detest when software engineer salaries are compared to the salaries of the general population (often to cite how our sector is "overpaid"). Usually lacking from such simple comparisons:
1. Discussion of how software engineers have to go to college for 4 to 6+ years, but the general population is weighted towards those far fewer years of schooling
2. Discussion of downtime -- the amount of time software engneers spend unemployed (due to economic cycle, startup bankruptcy, downsizing, etc.) compared to the general population (e.g., government workers for example have superb job security, often 100% lifetime job security.)

It can be configured to use the system malloc (IIRC running stuff like asan requires this, or at least I have to set a 'no jemalloc' build option), but I'm not sure if any platform ships with this option turned on. OpenBSD sounds like one that might, but I guess I thought they just used the normal Firefox ESR (definitely could be wrong though).
Linux won the server market. RedHat is in the support business. C# developers that have server code want to deploy on Linux now that they can and with this they can even pay for support.
"Then he outlined some of the new texts soon to be released: a chart for multiplying and dividing complex numbers"

I'm assuming that this a journalist using the word "complex" in a vaguer sense than a mathematician would. But that would be a pretty stunning thing to find on 2500 year-old strips of bamboo.
MMOs are generally a good place for this stuff.

I knew a fellow who would offer to offer to buy expensive runes in Shadowbane for, say, 250k gold - and then when the time came for the trade he'd slice a 0 off the amount of gold he put in the trade window. Perhaps this sort of scam is helped by small font and large currency inflation.

Spending time on them exchange side, prod like data isn't enough. We had bugs not hit with prod like data hit us in prod. To get the real truth, test in prod.

Obviously you need good infrastructure to do so.. But you can't fake a prod exchange. Too much bandwidth and too many users each on their own agenda.
If you know the build system for your project, have some way of getting input via stdin, and existing test corpus, it's surprisingly simple.

I was able to set it up in a few hours for a moderately sized library. Along with valgrind, I was able to find and fix all of the bugs it uncovered after over a CPU month of testing.

Because yahoo mail offers a 20year treasure trove of email whereas a new email service would offer no such history. I, like many, started my first email account on Yahoo. It still lives, even though most current usage has migrated to gmail. Also, only a fool would use @dailymail as their primary account knowing the history of the paper's privacy violations.
It's sad that a complete structure writing/publishing workflow is still so hard. XSL-FO is awkward and limited, and will probably remain so. TeX is not design-friendly. On the other side, InDesign is mostly visual only. Framemaker seems to be only serious tool but it's very expensive.

Maybe rather than a shift, it's a divergence. The Panama Papers represent classic journalistic values. It's what we want to expect: the truth uncovered. It's been a stark contrast to see news outlets blatantly ignore the Panama Papers, representing a very different set of values. Online discourse has provided a means for a growing portion of the population to see the difference and make their own choice.
Also, you always get to keep the security/cleaning deposit, and if you have a lot of churn, you get to collect an extra month's rent every few months -- another great incentive to evict people.

If you're doing anything on the web, Performance should be an easy sell to the business/management. There's a ton of solid data showing faster websites = more conversions which = more revenue. Then factor in hardware and licensing cost reductions by handling more capacity on less infrastructure, and you have another clear financial win. Honestly performance work is one of the easiest places to show a clear ROI.
Daily Mail has always had a bad reputation, unless you're in the racist warmongering homophobic group, since their inception over a century ago. I'd not limit it to just with the twittering classes though.

They were repeatedly accused of warmongering in the years preceding WW1.

They actively promoted fascism and the blackshirts in the 30s, and promoted Mosley. They changed their stance in 39 only to avoid charges of treason.

Even amidst their renaissance in the 80s they managed to stay controversial in opposing any sporting bans with S Africa and ran opinion pieces promoting apartheid.

It's only 2012 there was some controversy for running a piece promoting "arbeit macht frei" as jobhunting advice. They did describe the phrase as "somewhat tainted"

They have at least been consistent in their reactionary racist bilge.
Only to the extent that you can afford to spend $1 million+ and a year every time you change your algorithm. For bitcoin mining or encryption or decoding popular video formats then yes, ASICs are absolutely the way to go. But there are many cases where the algorithms you're using aren't so fixed or where you're not willing to put up with such large lead times.
Well, if it's a real-time system it shouldn't take too long to test with production-like data; and if it does take too long that probably indicates a problem.

For an HFT system I'd have the dev version doing overnight testing with the day's data or chunk thereof, in delayed-realtime mode.

On the idea that it was all about Atlee: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Man_theory

Do you think the fact that the UK NHS funding model closely followed the existing Soviet NHS model was a coincidence?

The Tories fought long and hard in the 40s to make the proposed new 'cover everybody' system insurance based (something like Obamacare I guess) and ultimately didn't prevail. They used all sorts of scare tactics that would seem very familiar today.

A large part of that failure was Labour being able to point to the Soviet Union (not yet enemies of the highest order) and go "look, we can achieve the same success in curing infectious disease that they did".
If you wrote your own fuzzer, using a queue to distribute work, then almost certainly. But if you're relying on things like AFL then I think the answer is generally "no".
> They set out to demonstrate that white men dominate movie roles.

They don't write this in the article so why do you say this?

> In fact, if feminists are so convinced that many, many women are longing for different movies, they should raise money to make those movies. (Anita Sarkeezian already raised amore than a million $ for some lousy YouTube videos, so it certainly isn't impossible to raise money for feminist movies).

You're ranting about something not related to the article, again.

> it seems as if women dominate the modeling industry.

Another claim with no evidence. Another perfect demonstration of why the quantification in the article is useful.
>The Daily Mail has a bad reputation with the Twitterring classes, but like every other UK newspaper they cater for their own audiences - it just so happens that you probably aren't in that particular group.

It also happens to that particular group has base taste, and the Daily Mail caters to their worst gossipy, vacuous, racist, sexist, backwards, etc, nature. It's a manipulative, right wing, yellow paper/site.

We can't bypass ethics, education, etc. because "people have different tastes" -- and yes, the parent comment doesn't say that, but it seems to imply it.

Having access to incredibly high interest temporary credit means having the same problem next month and this new problem of having to pay off the high interest credit bill. You're generally not going to be evicted for a temporary hiccup. Late bill penalties are almost certainly going to be less than the payday loan fees. I have mixed feelings about the making bail bit.

On the other hand, I met my wife 5 years ago at my college's swing and salsa dancing clubs, and I always found it much more awkward to get a random message from someone on Facebook trying to flirt with me "digitally". To each their own. I don't know which generation is yours, but it really depends on the setting of the "social gathering" to determine whether approaching a member of the opposite sex would be considered awkward. I interacted with many women at that dancing club and had many opportunities to carry those into full-blown relationships. I see it often at dance clubs (talking ballroom, swing, salsa, etc. clubs) even outside of college. I am biased because of course that's where I met my wife, but many of my friends had the exact same experience.
They're the second-biggest newspaper in the UK.
Nope, the payday loan is still a raw deal. You're not going to get kicked out of your apartment for being $30 short on your rent. There's a reason states are cracking down on these pay day loan places and it's not because the government hates poor people.

>but when a large public-interest story breaks, it is often the first to have large pictures of the story. As they say, a picture can be worth a thousand words.

They do say that, but they are wrong. A picture can be as manipulative as any cheap slogan.

It also gives a false sense of understanding an issue, without getting into the details of it (to give a crude example:

Picture of poor starving child in country Y.

― oh, how bad are those X people.

(despite the fact that country Y attacked X and impoverished 10 times as many people).
eh, thought about it a lot, and the fact is, it's not the mafia. the whole society is like that. it's a cultural thing, where people expect other people to owe favors back as a natural way of doing business. it works at every level here, from groceries stores keeping freshest bread for friends and giving mellow salami to foreigners upward.

it's easy to identify the issue with the big names, but it starts way, way below that.
Software engineers are like doctors or lawyers - long period of study on difficult (and in places where people pay for colleges expensive) schools, long hours, but good pay. So it makes sense to compare them with doctors and lawyers.

Unlike doctors and lawyers, software engineers don't have any respect and are pretty much working class, but that's another story.

Well the thing is I specify in my profile the body type that I am looking for which is not obese or morbidly obese since I like to exercise and it's important to me. When emailing guys at least I look at their preferences and only email if I meet those preferences. I think online dating should offer better message filtering so those people don't get to our inbox.And some guys lie about their body type as when I see their photos they say they're athletic and toned when they're morbidly obese.
@bestattack Big thanks for your comments. That's an intriguing angle and one we have not discussed yet. It could work very well for landlords to get people out to their jobs. I also think many small landlords do not have contractors they can trust so they could also use it to farm out jobs. Greatly appreciated!
This is actually why I immediately discard use of the system package manager. One library version set per OS installation means that I can't run two things on the same machine unless I get really lucky with dependency versioning. Now the only way to get things done is to spin up one virtual machine per project, and completely setting up a new development environment per project is a huge pain in the ass that can only be optimized so far.

nix/guix is a sort of reasonable answer to this issue, I guess, but then you have to develop on nix/guix and hope that apt/rpm/pacman can handle your dependencies.
On the other hand, there's a better chance that you'll get to know the real person after 30. There's less influence from friends and family. The person's identity has usually smoothed out. And, they generally know themselves better - their motivations and goals, their likes and dislikes and principles. They're usually more confident in themselves and open about it. There's a better chance to 'get what you see'. I recommend to all of my friends to not look for a marriage partner until after 30.

Adam Smith, father of free market economics, pointed out already 300 years ago the fallacy of this argument. He has a passage about how an Englishman was expected to wear leather shoes while a frenchman could walk barefoot without being ashamed. Further he talks about how in his day a linen shirt if considered a necessity even for the poor while the ancient greeks and romans could do well without it.

So the point is that following your reasoning there is really no end to the depravity you can reach and somebody would still be able to claim that is all fine, because only rich people in the stone age could afford such luxury.

The point Smith made was that poverty is always a relative phenomenon. What is a necessity is always defined in terms of the society you live in. There is no such thing as a universal definition of necessity.

I had an interesting conversation about this with my wife's American parents. Despite the fact that her parents were noticeably better off economically in their childhood than my parents, they felt a severe stigma of poverty my parents never felt. My parent grew up in a country where they were much the same as everybody else. In fact a little better off. They did not feel poor at all. They had a happy childhood both of them. But one of my wife's American parents had a bad childhood, plagued by a strong feeling of being lesser than everybody else. Never having people over on visit out of shame over their own poverty. She was used to seeing everybody else being better off and internet the idea they they were somehow lesser people.

Today my home country is richer than America by GDP per capita but comparisons of wealth and of people's feeling of wealth or poverty is difficult. Many of my american relatives enjoy bigger houses and cars than I do, but one always gets the feeling that their life is much more of a struggle than mine. I live in a smaller house and have no car. But I have no financial worries like them. I have long vacations, I am not constantly overworked. I don't worry about health care insurance, saving for college education to my kids, getting fired.

So I think one should have some respect for the desperation and despair the poor in America feel. Knowing that a surprising car repair or medical bill could send you onto the street in no time. Even poor in much less wealth western countries have to deal with quite that level of insecurity.
If you haven't been in the dating pool for a long time, this is sort of like someone in Duluth making sweeping statements about Silicon Valley culture. Sex is undeniably part of Tinder's allure, but consider that the lascivious media stories and coworker jokes make it a lot less likely that couples that met through Tinder are going to volunteer the information. You're going to be misled by quite a bit of sampling bias if you just go by what you've heard.

As someone engaged to someone I met on Tinder, and I met a lot of attractive, relationship-minded women, Tinder is just far and away the most efficient way to meet attractive women. Even if you're looking for a relationship, the idea of placing any weight in elaborately written profile statements (which often tell you far less than 10 seconds in front of a person) and sending messages to random women on OK Cupid seems like a waste of time. Tinder takes all of the most awkward "breaking the ice" parts of looking for a hook-up OR a partner and turns them into a fun little swipe game.

I'll also add that most women I met on Tinder weren't above a hook-up but not-so-subtly had a relationship on the agenda, and that this affects guys behavior. If you sleep with an attractive, compatible woman a few times, it's not unheard of to start to form a friendship, at which point most (not all) guys in our society start to blanche at the idea of her doing the same with other partners. There's also the fact that for many of us, hook-up sex isn't even the best sex. So there's a natural draw to exclusivity.
Oh, now I feel dumb, I thought this was a security comment and not a practical one. Thanks for clarifying.
The Tesla K40 has peak double performance of ~1.4 TFLOPS. It has 64 DP cores, the warp scheduler can schedule four warps per smx per cycle. It can therefore have two warps executing double instructions at the same time. But the number is not very interesting, the memory bandwidth on the other hand is, a GK110 has 288GB/s, take you code, get it's arithmetic intensity and you have a upper bound for your performance, assuming you are memory bound of course.

My simplistic understanding of history is that this is how marriage was in the Western world for hundreds of years. Two people just said they agree to marry and the local church would record it. No ring, no ceremony, just two people agreeing.

It's a method on a QString object? No, no, no! Look at all the other methods on QString, what a mess! What happened to do one thing and do it well? This needs to be in a separate downloadable package. That package could be so simple and minimal.

My guess is that these Qt people probably use an IDE and want to be able to immediately see what methods are available in the context of a QString. Then they want code completion as they supply parameters to it. That's so OO. (Ok the method is immutable and composable but its still blatant 90s object orientation)

Other institutions, such as banks, can offer student loans.

The incoming US student loan crisis shows why this is not a great idea.
Nice how you ignore the fact that in the two party interaction of giving/getting a loan one party is bailed out and the other made to pay for the foolish loan. Flood a market with cheap credit and people, corporations, governments take it. Banks are just as at fault. You also ignore the incredible imbalance caused by the monetary union.

>No, it's simpler: It's just 'status'. I believe the men you describe are "alpha males" which is a form of status -- albeit it's generally considered a low-class form of status by modern educated professionals.

Not always. It can be just the local barman or barista that women swoon for. Or just a guy in the office, with the same rank as 30 others. It can even be an unemployed bum. Heck, women went wild over some felon last year:

What it gets down to is: there is such a thing as male good looks, it's not all status and wealth. And Clooney and Pitt etc certainly have those too.
