OTOH, neighborhood roads aren't designed for the same amount of traffic as main roads -- maintenance happens less often, the roads are made of cheaper materials, there are no street lights, etc.

I find taxonomy useful, but I think Derrida is right that Searle was more preoccupied making SAT (and language in general) into a mathematical formula than the "art" of language. I think the only really crucial elements are:
- locutions
- illocution (act/force and [or vs] intent)
- perlocution (act/force and [or vs] intent)

I find very little use teaching or using the 5 categories of Searle for interpretation of verbal or written speech acts.

I find studying a locution from illocutionary intent or perlocutionary intent more useful than Assertive, Directive, etc.

Hope it made sense and it was a useful answer! I still find it a fascinating field that is under-utilized because people try to make it into a programming language (a la Searle) instead of a way to understand semantics and semantic intent.

There is more than one checksum. At layer 2, the checksum is its own thing. At layer three, a partial read means the checksum isn't necessarily here yet - assuming the checksum is relevant ( UDP makes checksums optional ).

IMO, you really need to make writes to a UDP socket explicitly nonblocking and check the error codes.

You omitted the bit just above your quote, which says:

> As is parking in a private driveway in a manner than blocks a public sidewalk.

Laws like this becomes really interesting when you build neighborhoods in certain ways.

In my neighborhood, the houses were built very far forward on the lots and thus very close to the sidewalks. Looking out my front window right now, I'd estimate it's less than 10 feet away. This has the effect of making it impossible to park in your driveway without blocking the sidewalk unless you have a very small car - like a Smart car or something.

Add to this that the HOA has a rule against long-term overnight parking on the street (which they define as more than five consecutive days). Which means that you either have to put every car in a garage, or break some law or rule.

Fortunately, most of these rules are unenforced. To my knowledge the HOA has only ever asked one person to move a vehicle off the road, and that one was parked there for months, obviously disabled and becoming an eyesore. Every now and then when I'm working in the garage I need to leave my truck parked out overnight. I always feel bad blocking the sidewalk, but then I look around and see probably half the neighborhood doing it too.

That's a humorous translation of the first code. He claims (I'm no expert either) that xtermAppPending() is poll(), GetBytesAvailable() is poll() and then xevents is invoked, which calls xtermAppPending() again in a loop.

The code you're confused about is basically combining the two previous methods (hence: 'manual inlining' with a wink) and replacing both xtermAppPending() and GetBytesAvailable() with poll() to make the problem stand out.

> Fixed behavior isn't necessarily a bad thing. What is always a bad thing is when types don't accurately capture what your program really means.

That's kind of what I meant by having too much fixed behaviour.

> In Java, this API design style is the norm rather than the exception, which validates the criticism coming form dynamic language advocates: “You still need to use tests, so why bother with types?”

The obvious answer is that while you can't solve everything with types, you can still succinctly represent what would otherwise be a ton of tests with a single type name.

> The only way forward is to use types in a way that actually eliminates the need for (some) nontrivial tests.

Well, one man's trivial is another man's non-trivial, but I'm happy having a machine automate all my trivial tests.

> Its type system is too nominal

Yes. It has become more sophisticated over time, but it is still pretty weak, and more importantly the built-in behaviour carries a lot of the consequences of the ridiculously limited nature of the type system in the first place.

> It doesn't offer a principled way to express that an operation can naturally have multiple kinds of results.

You could make that charge against most of the BCPL languages. C++ gets around it with templates, but even then has all kinds of limitations on how the output type is a function of the input type.

> For example, if you try to get the value associated with a key in a container, the key might or might not be there.

Java has Optional<T> which is exactly the way to express that case.

> None of these possible results is intrinsically “wrong”, but Java can only express operations with one kind of correct result.

Exceptions are a reasonable way of expressing alternative results, as is Optional<T>, as is returning a common supertype/interface, as is null (much as I despise it), as is having an object that serves as a discriminated union.

That may not all sound great to you, but those are actually very common strategies found in a variety of other languages.

We're talking specifically about the BBC (and perhaps Channel 4) here, not the entire British television industry. Even though the BBC have a few internationally successful hit shows, the vast majority of Europeans simply don't speak English well enough to be able enjoy these programmes without some sort of localisation so the audience of these streams would be rather limited in practice.

I'm not convinced this localization argument holds so much water. Consider the following:

Case 1: If you're using a search engine not based in the US, and you're not a US person, then the NSA probably can't use any legal tools against you (depending on country). However, the NSA is allowed to use the full range of its capabilities to collect against you (PPD28 notwithstanding). They can infiltrate that service by technical or human means and carry out espionage activity without legal restriction (Title 50/EO12333). Further, they can retain the data unredacted for a long time.*

Case 2: On the other end of the spectrum, if you're a US person and you're using a US-based search engine, surveillance activities against you are far more complex. Warrants, NSLs, and/or other legal paperwork is involved, and there are strict rules on data retention, sharing, and minimization. That's not to say that there isn't surveillance, just that it comes with substantially more overhead. Meanwhile, most of the NSA's technical exploitation approaches are off-limits, and any collection/exploitation activity must be carefully managed.

Case 3: The intermediate case, where you're a non-US person using a US service, is a bit more hairy but still is better than the first case. While the NSA/FBI can utilize a range of legal tools (again, warrants, NSLs, etc) against you, because your data is likely entangled with US-persons data, it must also deal with all the overhead of minimizing and redacting that data (same as case 2). Similarly, the use of technical means against US providers is heavily restricted, so you won't be fighting against the same capabilities as you would be in case 1.

At the end of the day, which do you think is easier for the engineers at NSA: exploiting, entering, and just taking everything (case 1) or filling out a huge amount of paperwork and carefully handling the redacted scraps of data that comes back from the provider eventually (cases 2 and 3)?

I think you can make an argument for either side, but I tend to believe that technical exploitation is easier than legal, for now.

*Caveat here is that this intelligence data is hard[er] to use in US law enforcement activity against you. It's worth noting, however, that NSLs and FISA data are also non-trivial.

Very interesting.

It's still quite vague but this seems like a better summary: "We combine distributed computing cores with an ultra-low latency fabric in a massive-bandwidth “push” model, which delivers higher performance from small to ultra-large deployments."

Basically, it seems like the chip is aiming to provide more memory bandwidth for parallel computing, more relative to GPGPU computation, which indeed provide a lot of parallel computation but has a somewhat limited memory bandwidth.

The "neural" part seems to be just emulating some aspect of neural network architecture for the memory architecture and the chips seem to be suited for general purpose parallel computation (indeed, apparently aiming to be better suited than existing chips).

And I think it's good that the chips apparently aren't like IBMs "brain on a chip" project, which as far as I can tell is a complete mistake; given that's just emulating one neural network architecture, it prematurely commits to that approach when the proper nn architecture is still a question in considerable flux.

I hope this is something that could compete with Google's Tensor Flow chips and even be more general-purpose. If it is, that would be a great thing.
Ignoring all that - in order to abstract something, you have to either 1) make assumptions or 2) establish a method for the configuration of those assumptions.

We all (naively) want it just to be handled for us. But sometimes that doesn't work out. We are the ones who have to learn that; the Second Law of Thermodynamics ( which is the lynchpin of the Two Generals Problem ) is unlikely to change to accommodate our foolishness :)

As I understand you, "polishing abstractions until they don't leak" is equivalent to "doing the whole job, not just part of it." Economically, this is a pain point for the people we work for. It sounds expensive. The accounting for it is very difficult. "Can't you just make it work" is not unreasonable.

Narrow is the way.

Maybe I misunderstand what is said on page 16, but to me it seems like foreign nationals like Polish people are included in other countries data. So the data is bound to geographical areas not nationalities, while the interactive map shows today's geographical boundaries, which don't included said geographical areas and nationalities anymore, making the data skewed.

You do know said immigrants tend to work illegally or for subhuman wages, pooling their wealth and network in local societies? They also tend to immigrate not to rural our crime-laden parts of the US.

On the other hand, US poor are nuclear and in places with few perspectives. They might be saddled with debt, a problem which the immigrants do not have. (Medical, educational or housing.)
Therefore helping them establish local communities might be the first step, but it is not enough most of the time. There have to be actual opportunities to be had.

It is easier to start with nothing in a good place, than with less than nothing in squalor.
