I feel like it's undignified because it sounds to me like saying "You can have money, but since you are poor and don't know how to handle it, we give it to you in small daily portions so you don't waste it all at once.". Like parents do with their young kids.

If it's basic income, then you should be free to choose how and when to use it.

For your example about forgotten payments, the result would be that you did not pay, so potentially you may lose your insurance, or you receive a fine or something worse. That's a decision you should be able to make yourself.

If you don't have control over your own money, that's not very dignified.

That's the "YouTube revenue" the record labels received from YouTube, not what YouTube made itself, so, yes.
Recorded music is the advertising for the musician. I don't understand why I should pay for that advertising. What they are advertising is their ability to perform music and they will receive my money when I pay to watch them perform or purchase their merchandise.

EDIT: Let me elaborate in regards to ehnto's argument. DVDs, clothing and cars are all physical items I am paying for and therefore I am happy to pay for that. I am also happy to pay to see a movie because movies could not exist prior to being able to film. Movies are the end product that I want to see.

All of these are different to music. Music existed well before the ability to record it did. All that recording did was make it more accessible. Back when you had to purchase a record or CD there was a physical item you ended up with to listen to that music. Therefore something that was worth paying for. I bought a lot of CDs. The music is not the end product. The live show where I go to see the musician perform is.

I don't get paid for people to use my work without any involvement from me past the fact I created something. Why should a musician be paid for you listening to the music they created. They aren't putting in any hours for me to hear that past the original creation. What are they getting paid for?

This is why I love artists like Hoodie Allen and Chance the Rapper. They release the majority of their music for free. Hoodie Allen was unable to release one of his albums for free on iTunes, so he charged the minimum. He was constantly on social media telling people they can download his album for free from multiple locations and that they didn't have to buy it on iTunes. People still paid for that album like crazy.

On that note... fuck the music industry.

Like you I think I've inadvertently become the "Dungeon Master". I don’t like maintaining a legacy app but if you’re going to replace this software the replacement better be an improvement.

> The dark secret of the Dungeon Master is that he knows every trap in the existing legacy software, because he was the one to leave the traps around.

I take issue with this quote as well. In my experience, I know about the traps because I've seen what happens when they get triggered and had to recover from them - often at great time and expense. Put another way traps are edge cases and like any system it's easy to account for 90% of the complexity it's the remaining 10% of edge cases that cause the headaches.

When I hear a young developer say something like "We’ll just use a const and assume each day is 24 hours long because it simplifies the code immensely".

When I then point out they’ve stumbled into a trap because their program will now fail catastrophically twice a year (daylight savings, when you have a 23 and 25 hour day). I’m not doing it to be a curmudgeonly dungeon master trying to protect my turf. I’m pointing it out because I’ve dealt with that pain when I got bitten by DST in the app I maintain. I was young once too.

It’s easy for some junior to say “This error will rarely occur it is not worth introducing complexity to handle it.”

They aren't the ones who will get called out to fix it when the 'unlikely error' inevitably crops up. In the case of DST twice a year for the 15+ year life of the app adds up.

Edit: I'm sure someone will mention UTC - I agree better to use this if underlying DB supports it.
True - you can't go too far in programming without math.

Even the world's crappiest healthcare plan protects against the worst case. I know - I had a major health event at age 29, and I had absolutely garbage insurance. $350,000 in hospital bills later, with approximately only $7k out of pocket, I was all fixed up (as well as current medical tech allows, at least) and my heart was a click-click-clicking away. Insurance with deductibles in that range for a single (and ~double that for a family) is really relatively cheap.

He also haven't looked into the strong philosophical arguments for BI, dating back to Paine in the 18th century. Justice and freedom are keys to all of these arguments, e. g. that of Van Parijs, where if one looks at work as a fundamental resource, you should be free to take or not take a job.

There's so much literature on this—why not look into it?
> More focus and time is spent with family and having experiences that truly enrich one's life.

i guess if someone is on basic income then he will not be able to afford a family of his own; raising kids is quite expensive. A basic income receiver will also be out of luck if he has to support a member of his family who got into trouble, if your family is unable to be a potential source of security and everyone is alone on his own then the concept of family will become more brittle.

To me basic income sounds like a way to create a dependent underclass - very dependent on the state for that matter (and will probably vote for the party that is most likely to continue with the basic income policy - so it will likely be a politically agitated group).
And that's not quite conductive to the idea of personal happiness...

Basic income is an attempt to deal with a growing number of people who are unemployable in the modern economy. I think a better way would be to find meaningful work for these people - maybe in such areas as caring for disabled and elderly or in education (i think we are out of luck with automating these tasks). This approach would be harder and costs more to implement than just dealing out the welfare checks, so it will probably not be adopted...

> And when I integrate a new release, how do I verify that
> you didn't accidentally change one of the older numbered
> versions of your code?

They're only released once. No release is changed after its release. Once it's out, it's out. The archive is never touched again.

When a release is made, the source code is exported, archived and uploaded to the library web-site. To accidentally change that code, I would have to accidentally repeat that manual process. It's the same with github - I actually use SVN at home, and I make a new repos per release and upload the code, once, to that repos. Github is a release only, write-once source control system, for me.

> I'm going to have to test either way when I integrate a new version of your code

Well, now I'm confused. If that's so, what's the problem? you keep using the old code, it's not changed, either the API or the library binary, so you don't have to test that; and for any new code, you can use the new release version. To the extent the APIs are unchanged, moving fully from one release to another is a matter of issuing a global search-and-replace for the string "liblfdsNNN" to "liblfdsMMM".

> Given this supports only 2 processors and ConcurrencyKit
> supports 5

The library supports on Linux almost every processor GCC offers atomic instrincs for - ARM32, IA64, POWERPC32/64, SPARC32/64, MIPS32/64, x64 and x86. I'm pretty sure the library does not support Alpha, however. Of those platforms, I only have access to actual hardware for ARM32, MIPS32 and x64, so only those platforms actually have the test code compiled and run and being seen to pass.

On Windows, support is provided for ARM32, x86, x64 and IA64. Again, of these, I only have access to x64.

Disagree. I had a valve replaced, and researched extensively what my experience was like vs. that in other countries. I received an unquestionably higher standard of care. I had my choice of valve, doctor, hospital, I had nearly zero wait (a few weeks from diagnosis to surgery, and only because I asked for the time -- in my circumstance there was a double digit chance of death, and I needed to ... process), and the nursing care that I received after surgery in the ICU was literally one-on-one - there was a nurse assigned to me. I had a bed that massaged and hammered the goop out of my lungs, I had tasty food (when I could eat again), and I had some say in when I would be discharged. The only thing that wasn't absolutely first-class was that I had a shared room with two beds post-ICU, but even that's becoming uncommon in the US.

After reading on the experiences of people from European countries and Canada in the 'OMG I had a valve replaced' forum (yes, there's a site just for that -- valvereplacement.org), the level of care that I received was significantly better than what is typical of public health systems.

Oh, and last week I needed to see the doc for a sore throat, and I was in the same day. Queues are a regular thing in public systems.

As a non-American, can I be a control group? We can research how basic income affects different cultures and stuff. Just send me free money and see what happens!
This is true as far as it goes, but it doesn't consider opportunity cost. Instead of building special units that would benefit 4,000 people, a tiny fraction of the Bay Area, cities could charge an equivalent general fee that benefits everyone. The money could pay for mass transit, parks, services for the poor, programs for children, and so on.
"But is downplaying the importance of math a sustainable message for future generations of engineers?"

No, but most programming is definitely not engineering. Math savvy people will definitely be needed - more in some areas than in others, but it is silly to have something most people don't have use for in their daily work as a requirement.

The point being is that there is a need for people with engineering skills, but there is also a need for people with craftman skills. Perhaps what we are seeing is the early stages of different education paths to the different roles?

As for the different points:

"Number theory. If you’re ever asked how one algorithm or data structure performs over another"

Err, no. That would be courses in analysis, calculus or numerical calculation courses, or courses in discrete analysis if you can find one. Number theory is what you use to understand stuff like encryption.

Before the CLR was open sourced you could investigate how things were implemented by using decompilers on the MSIL code or later shared source, but but investgations often stopped at a InternalCall just as things started to get interesting. Now you can see the whole story of how abstractions are implemented part in C# and part in C++ when the runtime needs to "bend the rules" of what C# would normally allow. The corert[0] project is interesting because a larger portion of the run is implemented in C# (or as compilation passes instead of runtime code generation). For example, you can find exception dispatch and type casting implemented in C# there [1].

One example from the article that may be a little off is getting the length of string. It looks like the call to string.get_Length is probably replaced with a JIT intrinsic[2]. The importer then turns that intrinsic call into a GT_ARR_LENGTH[3] node that is eventually lowered into something like[4]:

*(stringAddr + offsetOfStringLengthField)

It's a bit more complicated than that, as there are several references to GT_ARR_LENGTH in various optimization passes.

According to President Carter (a Navy Lt at the time of the interview, i believe) during the interview, Adm Rickover asked him if, while he was a cadet at the Naval Academy, he had always done his best--that was literally the question. Carter's reply was something like "no sir, quite often but not always" In response, Rickover turns his chair around to signal the end of the interview.

Remember that the library supports bare metal platforms. It is intended to be used in the absence of an operating system.

I'm afraid I'm not sure I undersand what you've written.

My aim is to ensure that for applications using the library, that when a new release comes out, that they can use it while seeing absolutely no change in the code they are already using (header files, the binary being linked to, etc), as this is the and the only way to know that existing code will be wholly unaffected.

IIRC Broadwell has several improvements over haswell both in IPC and instruction sets, broadwell has support for ADX which can improve performance in various application such as encoding and compression.

The benchmarks for the 6950X show 2 times or higher the performance in winrar and various encoding benchmarks.
almost 2 times the performance boost in ray tracing, and about the same one in blender.

This review is some what flawed they've selected all the wrong benchmarks, very few real world workstation / professional applications and their gaming benchmarks were completely wrong.

A gamer doesn't buy a 6+ core CPU to get better FPS they buy it to CPU encode on OBS or other streaming surface while gaming so a benchmark for any E series CPU should include that if you want to focus on gaming.
If not there is no reason to post any gaming benchmarks Mainstream Core i7/i5 would always be better because even the best multi-threaded games out there don't scale with anything more than 3-4 cores and higher single core performance is king as far as gaming goes even in DX/Vulcan benchmarks.

30 years. At least if you're talking about mapping everything at the same scale, graphic fidelity, resolution, price, and field of view as in VR, then AR will always be 10 years away compared to VR, in my opinion. If you're going to make it much more limited than VR (like say only show a chess table in front of you, or some text on top of stuff, but not much else), and make it cost several times more, like the Hololens does right now, then yeah, I guess you could make AR seem almost as usable as VR, but it will never be a 1:1 comparison this way.

If you're doing 1:1 comparisons, then it should be about 10 years behind VR because you have to transpose the same world that you do in VR but over the real world.
Yup. An example from machine learning: This paper, "Weighted Residuals for Very Deep Networks"

https://arxiv.org/abs/1605.08831

from May 28, cites this paper, "Wide Residual Networks"

https://arxiv.org/abs/1605.07146

from May 23. Less than a week between them! And it's with good reason too, because they want to compare with state of the art on a certain problem/dataset, and that improved five days ago.

Both of these papers are about very basic advances, in a sense: If you have a residual network implementation lying around (and there are plenty of open source ones), it's trivial to implement the improvements they propose. So it's not as crazy to cite a 5 day old paper as it seems.
