Financialization means the fraction of GDP in the finance sector. You can graph it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financialization

Free market ideology means stuff peddled by CEI, Heritage, Grover Norquist - tax the rich less, deregulate, fight unions. This doesn't seem especially nonspecific to me.

Also, spending as fraction of GDP hasn't changed that much over time. What has changed is interest rates, which leads to debt accumulation.

There is no "them" or "us". "They" are just people. They are rarely even people that we disagree with - they're innocent civilians that were unlucky and lived in what turned into a war zone, or soldiers that are simply following orders to protect what they consider their home. The decision is whether or not to take hundreds, thousands, or even millions of lives exactly like the one of the navy officer with the launch code embedded in his chest. Lives that had nothing to do with the conflict at all.

The "bad guys", the ones you might actually refer to as "them", are sitting somewhere comfortable, far out of reach of any of this. Their only interaction in this is that they pressed a button.
That story is not at all representative of the rural US in general.

Rural Alaska is a very, very different place with a different population and a different culture where survival and resources are a real, daily concern.

Most of the rural US has easy access to running water (parts of the West may be an exception) via a well, and real law enforcement is plentiful. Which is not to say county sheriffs aren't mostly crooked, but it's generally a genteel crookedness as opposed to "yeah rape is OK" crookedness.

One of my pet peeves... It's principal, not principle. Sure, I hope principal engineers have principles, but that's not what their title says. Principal, as in "main engineer", not "engineer with scruples".

Generally, a principal engineer is one of the highest engineering titles (the only one above would be fellow), which means you are invited to management-only meetings, essentially.

shruubi: If you want to share some more about the kind of development work you have been doing, and what you'd like to be doing, perhaps we can give you some concrete ideas for locations, companies, OSS projects, etc. that you should check out.

A few observations from my career so far (20 years in):

* Going for a Master's degree in CS can seriously improve your job prospects, and should make you a genuinely more awesome developer. (I'm not saying it's a necessary or sufficient requirement for awesomeness, but it's usually very beneficial.) Continuing on to a PhD in CS? Not so much :)

* Getting a Master's degree at a good CS university is an awesome path towards very cool jobs. The way I've seen that work is that those departments have CS professors who often look to commercialize their ideas (at least that's what I've seen with database research), and they try to recruit their more promising Master's / PhD students, especially if they were already working on the academic version of the project.

* I work remotely doing mainly C++ development, but I've found remote, well-paying C++ jobs are somewhat rare. But if you can build up some interest and skills in web development, it shouldn't be difficult to find a fully remote job that pays way, way more than a supermarket job would.

* This one is slightly depressing, but I'd be remiss to not mention it. You need to consider the ticking clock. As you get older you'll find it takes more time and effort to develop expertise in new languages, frameworks, etc. And doubly so if you meet the right special someone and have a family. So if you're looking to better situate yourself for work that's more interesting and/or pays better, you should get moving on that plan ASAP.

* +1 on what everyone said about OSS involvement. ESPECIALLY if for whatever reason you're unable to leave your current job and location.

If you want to prove the pay gap with data, at least do it correctly. You need to control for things like:

1) Experience

2) Education

3) Number of hours worked

4) Negotiation skills + actual attempts to negotiate the pay

5) Taking risks

Pretty much every study that did that arrived to the same conclusion - there's no pay gap. We have men who work more, have better education, more experience, work longer hours, negotiate better and more often, and take on risky projects more often.

If women developers were cheaper and just as effective, wouldn't you just hire women?
EFF: Strong 'Unlock the Set-Top Box' Rules Will Bring Competition, Innovation
Some of the responses are saying that it is about marketability and while that is certainly true for some musicians, it isn't true for all -- optimistically I would even say most.

For example, I remember an interview with the German group Milky Chance where the main song writer said that he has never written a song in German http://www.thecurrent.org/feature/2015/05/22/milky-chance-pe...

In these cases I would say it is a result of the popularity of English music and people wanting to emulate the music that they like. "I like these songs and they are in English so if I write songs like these then I will write them in English."

He said better, not better off.
You have 2 first strike options.
1) that will target your opponents nuclear capabilities (ensuring that no 2nd strike is possible)
2) that will target everything including population centers to achieve maximum destruction.

In both of these scenarios if you are attacked first (early warning) your only option is to attack their centers of population to either prevent an all out invasion or to retaliate.

This is exactly why MAD sort of works, because it actually ensures mutual destruction of not only the nuclear and military capabilities but also of all national and human infrastructure as the only possible answer to even a limited nuclear first strike is "fire zee missiles!".
Or to put it in a more structured manner there is virtually no room for proportionate response when it comes to a nuclear attack. When there was it was the biggest threat to "MAD" since it more or less would ensure that any side that gains sufficient advantage would be prone to launching a first strike.
Because of this very fact the nuclear arms treaties between the USA and then the USSR limited fixed launch site while promoting mobile launcher and nuclear missile subs as much as possible as the guaranteed 2nd strike capability of both nations was what MAD was actually built upon.

But MAD is not without it's faults, heck so far i think Norway out all countries was the one that brought us closest to total nuclear war.

When describing the process of getting someone involuntarily committed to be evaluated for court-ordered treatment, the engineer at my graphite manufacturer said “Really, you can do that? … I’m going today.” One of his old friends has been self-destructive/’crazy’ for a while. They suspected he was using methamphetamine.

On the one hand, people who are ‘crazy’ won’t seek and can’t consent to medical care. This is certainly how we ended up with “mental health courts” and “court-ordered treatment”. But most of the treatments that the courts order people to submit to are palliative rather than curative. The courts have to order people to take the worst of the drugs, the sedatives (”anti-psychotics” [1]), because they wouldn’t take them otherwise [2].

If society is going to force treatment on people, we ought to help them while we’re at it. But the system I’ve observed over these past few months is little more than a haphazard collection of poor practices.

It was a theoretical risk pre-Snowden that PC and neteork security was horrible? No, it was in thd news every day with recommendations from industry and government on how to counter a lot of it. Further, academia was teaching the INFOSEC people about high assurance methods from the old days.

Such things were mostly ignored despite being in media, conferences, government certifications... yoh name it. Interestinv enough, Snowden had seeminglh no impact on number of high assurance dsvelopments out there.

It's an encyclopaedia. Dumbing it down would not be appropriate. If another platform comes along that succeeds in providing popular information, great. But I don't see how you can easily create high quality, neutral and accurate articles that transparently show their sources.

It sounds like you want an entertainment website more than a site that explains and presents often complex information accurately and neutrally. On most issues, even news items, if you want these qualities then you have no choice but to give context.

Of course, Wikipedia is not a news source - you seem confused on this matter. Wikipedia documents events as articles which may appear to be news, but most of the time it updates articles on topics to incorporate events that make up the news.
I am excited and it's really not about the speed. Future intel product - Kaby Lake (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaby_Lake):

- Native USB 3.1 support

- 200 Series chipset (Union Point)

- Thermal design power (TDP) up to 95 W (LGA 1151)

- Support for both DDR3L SDRAM and DDR4 SDRAM in mainstream variants, using custom UniDIMM SO-DIMM form factor

- Support for 16 PCI Express 3.0 lanes from CPU, 24 PCI Express 3.0 lanes from PCH (LGA 1151)

- Support for Thunderbolt 3

- 64 to 128 MB L4 eDRAM cache on certain SKUs

- Up to four cores as the default mainstream configuration

- Support for Intel Optane Technology

- Full fixed function HEVC Main10/10-bit decoding acceleration & VP9 10-bit decoding acceleration.

Biggest point for me is native USB 3.1 (Type-C) support. USB Type-C is is projected to be the most abundant socket in the history of humanity.

Assuming accurate information. It's far less useful in the real world.
You are missing the point of man vs machine competitions. It's unbalanced on purpose. The aim is to see if an AI with all its unique advantages can best a human with their unique advantages. It is not to create a physical robot that has to mimic the disadvantages of a human.

That's not cheating, it's a agreed upon rules. Making an AI that can beat a human is already very hard. Next you'll add other arbitrary requirements, like limiting the wattage to what the human brain uses...
It's scary that even here on HN, a comment like this would get downvoted. Seeing the world through a lens of "us" and "them", and seeing "them" as being less worthy of our humanity & consideration, has led to more human-atrocities throughout history, than almost anything else.
Call/cc and other fantastic tales
Yeah, and as one of the comments to that blog post says, for bit twiddling operations like this, modern compilers are good enough to generate the optimal assembler the vast majority of the time: If you write the equivalent C code

uint32 fill16 = (fill << 8) | fill;
uint32 fill32 = (fill16 << 16) | fill16;

(copied from the comment, so hopefully correct!) you get the benefit of a) not having to fiddle with abstruse register allocation semantics but b) you’re letting gcc use its register allocator to set things up optimally based on the surrounding optimised code.

My own experience with writing memset / memcpy equivalents 10 years ago on x86 was that gcc did a better job of it. Don’t try and outsmart the compiler for this kind of common case unless you know the compiler generates inefficient code - compiler writers have generally got there before you.

Assuming accurate information. If people had followed true Tit for Tat we would have all died due to false alarms.

The correct action may be to back down from a full scale launch while saying that you will respond in kind.

PS: South Africa actually gave up nuclear weapons. Which is the extreme end of not shooting back scale.
The biggest defect of MAD was that the Soviets correctly thought it was profoundly immoral and never accepted it, and, well, once Robert Strange McNamara, he of the oh so wise initial prosecution of the Vietnam War, pushed it through, the Soviet leaders didn't have much trouble painting us as immoral because we were.
If you team up two humans, they need to be very well coordinated to work together effectively, otherwise they'll just get in each other's way.

Starcraft 2 has a mode like this called Archon Mode, where two players control the same units. The conflicts that can arise from this can be pretty fun to witness.
English grammar and spelling are like manners and customs. There is no single "right" way to be polite but there are things that are commonly accepted by most people to be impolite and therefore "wrong." It can be hard and confusing. I have a phd in the humanities and I still find myself questioning my grammar or struggling to explain why something a student wrote in a paper is wrong. (I usually fall back on things like "this is unclear" and "it would be more elegant to write something like this..." But like manners or even music, once you have internalized the "rules" you know when you can break them and when you can't.

Would it be better to have a single official standard English? Maybe but good luck getting all the English-speaking countries to agree on that.

I've seen at least 1 study that showed controlling for those factors (and many others) reduces, but doesn't come close to eliminating the pay gap. Iirc, there's still ~7% unaccounted for.

I believe it's a widely held misconception that pay discrimination doesn't exist.
> The President must distinguish "them" or "us", otherwise he has no business leading the country in a war.

Starting from the 60's, the concept of MAD and a truly global, total war made this distinction irrelevant. As soon as you push that button, you're not only condemning "them" to death.

We were quite surprised to find a bug in some common code for the NIOS II architecture: we were assuming it would have already been tested on enough platforms and with enough compilers/situations to not have such issues.

I'm betting on the vast majority of memset() uses being to zero memory, so it might've not been tested much with other fill patterns.

Compared to MSVC, I've found GCC's inline-assembler feature a huge pain to use correctly and the few times it was needed, I decided to use a separate file with pure Asm instead (also with Intel syntax) and link that in. Supposedly it's more powerful, but having to essentially understand part of the register allocation process just to use it is a big turn-off. In contrast, MSVC "just works" --- the syntax is far more pleasant and it seems to know automatically what gets modified by the code you added.

I think basic operations like these, bulk fill and copy, are best performed be specific instructions that the hardware can do in the best way for the implementation. The nios2 memset() is over two dozen instructions, most of which are just shuffling bits around. Intel did this right with REP MOVSB/STOSB.

It's all very telling, but the notion that you would sacrifice one more, presumably innocent life for no good reason at all is itself immoral.

I assume that is part of the moral of the tale. The story only makes sense in signalling that you think that nuclear weapons are pointless.

Well, good thing then that magic probably isn't real - and that we actually do have a lot of knowledge about the real effects of words and ideas on people.

But anyway, the usual counter-arguments to censorship "for your own safety" apply, whether you name it censorship or "sterilization" or anything else.

For example, what would be the "obvious bugs" in that case? As I agree that certain communities can be harmful to certain groups of people and I would agree to blocking - because there is an established body of psychological literature that can tell you why and how those things are doing harm. And even in those cases it's not always clear-cut.

(Such sites are already being blocked in a number of countries btw, for example germany.)

But the parent poster was talking about Tumblr and 4chan. They think those sites are "contagious", I think they are not. So who would decide? And what about other cultures? If you ask an iranian or chinese official, they would tell you that the western media are highly contagious and harmful. Shouldn't we block those as well then? Or whatabout showing Saw in our cinemas? Is that good for the mental health?

So far the western strategy in those matters was to give freedom priority and instead strengthen the immune system of the individuals (to keep using that metaphor). And I don't see a good reason to change that.
UK: no it wouldn't. UK law permits 'reasonable force'; shooting someone coming at you in close quarters with a knife sounds reasonable. Shooting someone who punches you, not so much.
