There's quite a lot "noble" about war, in the sense of "aristocratic". I think this every time I see a TV news story about a dead soldier and the soldier's family have a "normal" accent, and the commanding officer sounds like someone from a BBC period drama.

But it extends to whose interests we fight the wars for in the first place.

Fun fact: Germany is very reliant on cash, because Germans have been traumatized by hyperinflation and depression etc., and their cash money is a symbol of stability.

I'm German and I don't even have a credit card, which is only occasionally a problem when 1. trying to book a hotel or 2. when buying stuff in US online shops. Number 2 is solved by Paypal, however.
> When it becomes a systemic problem, i.e. women earn a significantly lower amount based on their job choices, there is an issue.

I disagree. E.g. in the Netherlands, many women (mothers) choose to work part-time (4 hours) to be able to spend more time at home (presumably with their kids). I think it's great that the governments supports this choice, more governments should follow!

(You could use the same argument for other job choices; maybe more women choose to be e.g. teachers despite the lower salary, because they enjoy working with kids!)

Sure, they earn (much) less, but in exchange they have a higher quality of life, so I see it as a perfectly valid choice/tradeoff.

First, you should not abbreviate Common Lisp as CLISP: this is confusing because CLISP is one of the many implementations of CL.

As for comparisons, this is a Gorilla vs Shark problem (https://blog.stackoverflow.com/2011/08/gorilla-vs-shark/), without context you can choose anything you prefer.

LFE is not really Lisp, it is more like Erlang with parenthesis, so it is hardly comparable. Erlang offers a very specific, and useful, model of computation: if you need that, use Erlang or LTE.

In CL vs. Clojure, I suppose CL looks riskier to use than Clojure, w.r.t. all those JVM libraries (and the coolness factor). I think this is false, because you can access Java/Clojure/C libraries from CL with ABCL/CFFI, whereas you cannot access the Common Lisp ecosystem from Clojure easily.

But in the end, which programming language you use depends on many factors.
You don't have to care about what every single friend of yours is doing every single day.

I'm sure I don't have the typical use case, but as an expat, I have friends spread out all over the world. Usually I don't see anything from them on Snapchat, but when they're going on a hike somewhere beautiful, attending an event, or having fun otherwise, I get to see it and thereby "keep in touch". I get to see what my little cousins are doing at home as they grow up (which is quite annoyingly "snap back for a rate" or some nonsense I won't pretend to understand), and even see what their mother is cooking for dinner when she shares that.

If you don't like it, don't use it. But don't be fooled into thinking it's just pictures of lunch from people at their 9-5 office jobs. Even many of us with 9-5 jobs have something interesting to share, at least on an afternoon or weekend.

No I didn't edit my comment. It's still exactly as I first wrote it.
The proposed solution of email auth seems slightly more inconvenient than having a password though which may make it difficult to catch on. However once everyone sees the consequences of being hacked maybe they will agree to use it and see it become a standard.

The email could also include a one-use code so you could receive the email on your phone and use the code to log in on your friends computer, saving you from having to log in to your email on your friend's computer.

An issue that springs to mind though is whether emails are a secure enough to trust with the power to login.

Most years, there's a somewhat tense period when the textpattern.com domain comes up for renewal and fingers are crosses that Dean renews it. Happy days.
I think it's more likely that the low barrier to entry required to build a WP site is what has caused these issues, well, in the past, anyway.

What you are describing could be attributed to any poor quality code, it's not specifically WP core that is to blame, but rather poor quality code built on top of it.

In regards to managing WP sites being costly and taking up time, I manage many WP client sites and find the opposite to be true (I did write the code for all of them, though)
33 Explosive Content Writing Tips from 33 Content Marketing Rockstars
> Given the quality of OpenCL and its cross platform nature

I'm sorry, WHAT? OpenCL is absolute shit. Cumbersome API definition, lack of low-level control, stringly typed programs (all programs are provided as strings and kernels are identified with those too). Which means nearly no compile-time feedback, it's hard to embed GPU kernels into a single binary. The API is woefully lacking in flexibility (no dynamic launch), OpenCL 2.0 is better, (EDIT: Apparently AMD supports it now, I'd have to check whether Intel/NVidia have also added support), but no one supports it so it's also irrelevant.

Not only that, AMD hardware is terrible. Atomics on NVidia's maxwell are orders of magnitude faster than on AMD (to the point of being comparable to non-atomic operations with low contention).

CUDA's environment provides: Better documentation, better feature support, saner development and debugging, possibility to ship both generic & specialised binary kernels, JITtable kernels in intermediate representation, better compile time sanity checking, the ability to generate your own IR/CUDA assembler from non CUDA languages...

The reason everyone does CUDA and uses NVidia is because there's zero real competition. AMD is the only company that cares about OpenCL, Intel and NVidia just implement the bare minimum to have AMD's OpenCL code be portable to them. Intel has OpenMP and TBB for the Phi, NVidia has CUDA.

To me it's crazy that anyone keeps mentioning OpenCL as a serious alternative. In theory I agree that an open standard would be nice, but over here in reality where I have to actually write code there is no realistic alternative to CUDA if you want to stay sane.
I'm not sure it's a positive story. It suggests that yahoo will migrate these customers to a new platform that doesn't support the features they like and legally need.
Does anyone actually implement OpenCL 2.0 yet? Last I checked not even AMD supported it, and they're the only company that has a reason to care about advancing OpenCL.

As a programmer and nerd (who happens to be male but it's not really relevant in this context) I can relate to the expectations of career advancement meaning moving into management and away from the joys of diving deep into the technical aspects and solving technical problems.

Design a function f, such that: f(f(n)) == -n
QueryDosDevice? You're right that mostly length is passed back, but esp in libs you get this problem you pass memory you own, some underlying function fails with "buffer too small", but buffer length was not in/out in the interface.

AppSurfer Made This Tech 3 Years Before Google, Here's Why We're Shutting Down
Even if so, it should have been a separate type. The "elegance" of this design can be complemented by having a better interface. My strawman example:

/* This is for making a type that can be compared but not calculated.
* Use it like `(const void *) _StrcmpResult[i]` for i = 0, 1 or 2.
* i = 0 indicates less, 1 indicates equal, and 2 indicates greater. */
extern const char _StrcmpResult[2];
const void *_Strcmp(const char *a, const char *b);
#define strcmp(a, op, b) (_Strcmp((a), (b)) op (const void*) &_StrcmpResult[1])

Now you are almost unable to incorrectly use this interface: `strcmp(a, <, b)` and `strcmp(a, !=, b)` etc. works, `strcmp(a, -, b)` does not compile (because we've casted to `const void*`), `strcmp(a, =, b)` also does not compile (because `_Strcmp()` is not a lvalue). Other incorrect uses will likely result in compile errors, though in possibly more obscure ways.

You're right, there isn't a classic simple buffer overrun that Rust would trivially catch, but you're missing two things:

1) The problem was really sending back uninitialised memory. In Rust you can't have uninitialised memory. The oversize allocated buffer would have to have initialisation data passed in (possibly zeroes)

2) You'd never write the Rust code like that anyway. The abstractions avaialble mean that you aren't separating the content of some data and the length to pass to allocators.

From 35 USC 154(a):

(2)Term.—

Subject to the payment of fees under this title,
such grant shall be for a term beginning on the date
on which the patent issues and ending 20 years from
the date on which the application for the patent was
filed in the United States or, if the application
contains a specific reference to an earlier filed
application or applications under section 120, 121,
365(c), or 386(c), from the date on which the
earliest such application was filed.

(3)Priority.—

Priority under section 119, 365(a), 365(b), 386(a),
or 386(b) shall not be taken into account in
determining the term of a patent.

For this patent, there is a chain of specific references to earlier filed applications, but I'm not sure which of those, if any, are under section 120, 121, 365(c) or 386(c) and so affect the expiration date of the patent.

It's quite an interesting approach for limiting the amount of concurrency in singlethreaded environments. I first saw that in the documentation of the C++ seastar library which is also mostly a singlethreaded eventloop. See the chapter "Limiting parallelism with semaphores" here: http://docs.seastar-project.org/master/md_doc_tutorial.html

Their semaphore approach allows then to start an operation exactly X amounts of time and the next one will wait until another one finishes. Seems like an interesting approach. e.g. to limit the number of parallel connections.

Little man computer
Carte Blanche – isolated development space with integrated fuzz testing
Disclaimer: Amateur's blundering travelog.

I've been dabbling in Clojure for about 4 years now, off and on, and it works very well for small-ish projects. The integration, as others have mentioned, with the JVM is superbly seamless (it leaves Scala in the dust in this respect) and this opens up most of the Java ecosystem. Also, the STM model of concurrency management is super cool. So far so great!

But every time I try to build something more substantial than a Project Euler submission, I end up with something blowing up in my face. Recently, I was a bit annoyed to discover that the set of keys of a map doesn't have the same semantics (including sequential access) as other sets, and on another occasion I was debugging something and the contents of some variables that displayed valid data in "print" statements showed as "null" in my debugger. None of this is show stopping but when I'm just playing around I have a low frustration threshold. My impression is that Clojure is a good Lisp with many fantastic new features but not all of the batteries are included (yet).

Meanwhile, I have zero experience with CL but I keep hearing that it's highly mature, rock solid, the choice of most professional Lispers, and the platform of choice for Peter Norvig's book on AI programming. In my imagination, that means everything works exactly as expected and there is a wealth of useful libraries - which would be sweet, from where I stand.
