Consider that after HRC and Russia's "worlds goofiest reset button ceremony" around 2009 or so, things have gone sharply downhill for US/Russian relations. From argumentative brothers to something near "the shooting war begins the day after Hillary's inauguration". The analogy of the changing relationship between the USA and Iran in the Carter administration is enlightening.

Its hard for HRC to deflect that to her boss. If she had stayed a senator or otherwise somehow not been involved, maybe the Russians wouldn't be so unhappy with her. She has been at the center of the last couple years of the USA/Russia trainwreck.

However its not totally impossible to deflect that to her boss. Her husband did "OK" with yelsin and met putin right at the end of his term. So she can likely argue its nothing personal or familial, its all an obama problem. And the Russians can turn right around and ask if she failed to advise her boss properly or failed to resign for ethical reasons, either way they have no reason to let her off the hook, unless she does something for them, maybe.

Trump being a businessman and a dealmaker and an outsider is almost certainly a better situation for Russia. He's stable and much more non-interventionist than Hillary. Its hard not to see how that would measurably benefit Russia (and, frankly, the USA)

More philosophically, lifetime politicians bend toward monopoly outlook, and american businessmen bend toward competition. A lifelong politician is going to inherently have an issue with the concept of a competing empire existing. A businessman isn't going to mind a competing land empire on the other side of the planet separated by a vast ocean full of our own navy. He's not going to be existentially scared of Russia. Scared people lash out, and that's dangerous with nuclear powers.

I'm not entirely sure I agree with the above arguments, but nobody else is bringing it up, so here it is.

We are not talking about "most companies". We are talking of the air force, an organisation that is built to be resilient and handle crisis. Backups, fallbacks, redundancy, checks, reviews, access management and risk evaluation are BAKED IN their culture and mission.

And we are not talking about "any data". This was cleary very sensitive data they new they needed to protect.

Either the Air Force is failling at being the very thing it's been created to be (which I doubt) or something is fishy (ocaml razor).

I don't know Florence, but compact settlements aren't necessarily claustrophobic or cramped. They can and do have green space and open areas. The difference is that this space is public, not private.

I live in the densest part of a little English town. We have hardly any garden; our house is three storeys high, narrow and terraced. But it isn't claustrophobic. We can go to the town park/playing field, or the water meadow in the valley, or the walk through the grounds of the big house, or half a dozen other places. Yet the town is still compact and walkable, because this open space is shared between everyone, not walled off.

Yes, but it can be really hard trying to make sense out of all the information without having the assumed knowledge. I would really recommend starting with a good book that assumes very little.

I spent the better part of the last few years working on my own audio apps. It's definitely the most difficult programming domain I've worked in. Real time requirements + threading + low level code makes for a very challenging environment. But it's also a lot of fun.

Keep in mind this is probably more drivers than hardware. NVIDIA and AMD (by way of ATI) have many more years of experience optimizing drivers for games. I wouldn't be shocked if a year from now these chips were pretty even with some lower end gpus entirely. I think the real issue is that you don't upgrade CPUs like you do a GPU, especially for Intel, since it almost always means a new motherboard and ram. I just wish a 8 core Intel didn't cost a small fortune, hopefully AMD's new chips put enough pressure to make that happen.

Please note the severity of this. It's not "We had a crash and lost a weeks worth of data" - yeah, that happens. And it's totally acceptable if you're unable to restore it, for any of the reasons you mention.

This is "We had a crash and lost over a decade's worth of data" - yeah, that shouldn't happen. Ever. If you don't have a working backup from sometime in the past 13 years, -you are doing something wrong-. That's not a small series of failures or mistakes. That's either staggering levels of incompetence, or maliciousness.
Working with Russia isn't something you should be excited about. Trump is delusional about Russia, as were (and still are) several of the European leaders. Russia is not looking for friendly relationships, they don't care about stupid resets etc. Its a backwards country, it will be for decades to come, and it trickles all the way down to the mindset of their people. They should be isolated even more, not courted for friendly relationships by an unexperienced president, so they could abuse that to their own good again.
Unless there are people living on the interchange it's a little pointless.

We need very high density around where people live. This is the most important thing ever.

Low energy costs for transport which I would say equals better communities and a better way of life for a large proportion of the population.

Of course acknowledging there exists at any time a smaller proportion of the population for who this doesn't work, but this also allows them an easier access to their lifestyle.

Allowing/encouraging high density building is whats it's about, not roads which are just the side effect.
> [Using "volatile" should make stores and loads happen where they are written in the code...]

Really? I was under the impression that "volatile" basically did nothing other than prevent the compiler from optimizing out a variable that appears to not ever be written to, but is actually written to via an ISR or something.

Also, how does the compiler usually handle global variables? Since they can be modified by some code that was linked in, does it assume them to be volatile?

Of course, this issue is slightly different than the atomic-ness of certain data types. We're talking more about situations where you have a series of atomic operations which you expect to happen in the order of which they're written.
China, even with Trump's talk of tariffs, seems to take a preferential view on his foreign policy for the same reasons you stated that Russia might hold. There seems to be an appetite abroad for a non-interventionist US foreign policy.

The only downside is that these boxes are nearly the same price as desktops with similar specs. So I may stick with desktops just because they are more easily upgradable.

Since we seem to have a lot of audio programmers in here, does anyone have an opinion on using non-C/C++ languages for audio development? I've always used C/C++ but newer systems languages like Go and Rust (both have e.g. PortAudio support) seem quite well suited to the task.

There's a lot of that, sure. But in my experience, out of all the general nonsense going on in the world of organic agriculture, permaculturists were the most likely to avoid anti-scientific horse shit. That is perhaps not saying much, to be honest.

I took a moment to find the interchange. It appears to be the 285/75 interchange [1]. Eyeballing it based on the scale in Google maps, if you zoom out until you see Atlanta itself... and it takes quite a few zoom levels... it looks to be 12-15 miles from the Downtown Atlanta you'd be concerned about, or, in terms more relevant to the current discussion, approximately 20 Florences laid end to end.

The numbers are quite approximate, but the orders of magnitude are definitely correct.

Several of the Florences that would be laid end-to-end to get to Atlanta as the crow flies appear to be going in places that have virtually nothing there and could actually go there. I can't tell from Google maps if perhaps that's all swampland or something, but a lot of it isn't utilized, regardless of the reason.

If you want to make the point that cities should be more walkable or whatever, this is a terrible hook to do so with, because the existence of large interchanges has nothing to do with the cities not being more walkable. These large interchanges, in general, do not exist in downtown areas, and if you still complain about them it starts to sound more like you have no idea how large the world is. It comes off less like trenchant criticism and more like Puritan-style "those damned car owners are having fun and they should be stopped!".

Could you explain further what you mean by this? I'm not familiar with the term 'power of censure'.

I don't care about what the 'shining lights' do, I know I'd gladly do so. First step in my opinion would be to renew the push towards proportional representation (and not the Alternative Vote cop out we were asked about before).
Yes, and increasingly in northern Italy and elsewhere in Europe [1], although it is barely felt by any citizen.

The impact of such organizations goes from rigging construction contracts, for instance by imposing their affiliates' construction materials under the threat of burning the construction site, to controlling legal and illegal activities, such as the transport of toxic waste (which they just bury somewhere around Naples) [2].

got 2 CHIPs (although I think I only ordered one) one of then was faulty... the other I'm a bit unsatisfied. although I did not managed to have the time to play much with it, I get some noise/static sound coming out of the audio jack as processes are run (I'm typing or running commands in the bash ).

All the primary automation and functionality can be controlled by my smartphone; and if the worst comes to be, I can still login to all my servers via Prompt. I've only had to do it once, but it's good to know if can control all aspects of the system on any device, as long as I have my password manager and the right SSH keys.

That goes along with the 'keep it simple' philosophy; since the service has a very small public API and surface area, it's easy enough to diagnose issues quickly with limited analysis of log data and simple monitoring.

But no, I don't have any partner actively, but I do have a contingency/succession plan in case anything would happen to me (for the sake of my customers).

People don't really talk 'double buffering' in audio, just 'buffering' or ring buffers. I suppose since we're already working in larger (and sometimes flexible) batches of more than two samples.

And it's already assumed but he article; it mentions it in terms of "the system has to deliver n seconds of audio data every n seconds to the audio hardware. If it doesn’t, the buffer runs dry". The article is focused on generating the content that has to go in these buffers.

Because the problem with just increasing buffering is that it adds more latency. In your triple-buffered video game example, the action is now an extra frame behind the double-buffered case.

Hence the focus of audio folks reducing buffers to the minimum; for any audio application that's acting on data from the real world.

For example a simple live audio processor, or musical instrument.

Small delays of milliseconds seem insignificant but they create various artefacts and effects when that software is used alongside others or in a 'live' scenario.

But you are rightly getting at something that is a problem -- that the knowledge of using large buffers for audio seems to have got forgotten in some software; there seems to be a modern assumption that in order to get stable audio without glitches, that realtime threading is necessary and tiny buffers for trivial playback tools. Forgetting that systems did this a long time ago with nice large ring buffers, and the ability to flush or re-fill the buffer.

The notion that people moved to suburbia because of the cold war assumes a level of centralized planning that the US, by and large, did not have. Many people did not want to live in cities, given the choice, for white flight and other reasons and the suburbs/automobile provided an option for more living space.

Even today, there's a strong migration to cities meme that the numbers don't really bear out. There's something of a trend for college-educated 20-somethings to live in a handful of specific urban locations but it's not a lot broader than that.
Why Do We Tenure? Analysis of a Long Standing Risk-Based Explanation
On the walkability and livability of Prague: having lived there for a few decades, I claim that you can't have both: mostly, you'll get a lot of talk for walkability, and a lot of construction for drivability (which has, so far, only brought more traffic into the city). Worst case, you'll get an intermediate state that's pedestrian-and-car-hostile (there are such places right in the city center, where a north-south freeway had been rammed through).

However, for all the roadbuilding of the past 30+ years, the city remains well walkable, in a loose sense: the dense public transit network (a dirt-cheap yearly pass, trains running separate from all other traffic, semi-separated light rail, and an auxillary bus network) allows me to move about easily: walk a bit, hop on, ride a few stops, walk a bit again. This way, anything is within my "walking" distance. So, even though I'm not living in the city center, I can get there within half an hour (or in half an hour by car, hunting for parking spots included).

This, I believe, is the crucial part: walking by itself is okay for short distances, but needs efficient public transport on longer trips: "we'll just buy a bus or two" doesn't cut it.

(So, yes, it's easy even when living here: walking is not a tourist attraction, it's a mode of transport; and I even see a lot of tourists on the metro, "doing as the Romans do": using public transport as an extension of their legs.)
So, I mostly use C (not C++) for my audio code. I won't touch anything garbage collected for realtime DSP at all, so Go is right out.

Rust, on the other hand, I am very keen to explore, especially with some of the SIMD work that's been brewing. Somebody made bindings for the VST2.4 API/SDK already, and I've been mulling over putting together a brief proof-of-concept with it: https://github.com/overdrivenpotato/rust-vst2
So we are now agreed that none of the factual matters described in the comic are remotely representative of poor Americans? And actually all these extreme examples are just somehow representative of some nebulous and vague "reduced access"?

Vice is really terrible nowadays. It was edgy and cool when I was in university (>15 years ago) but it has really shifted in recent years.

If I were to speculate, I'd say it was probably related to the "founder split" that happened between Gavin McInnis and Shane Smith.

If you look at the editorial angle that vice has now, it is pretty one sided with respect to their "social justice" bias, with everything being presented as a fresh outrage or cultural appropriation. (With tumblr teen angst quality arguments)

When you look at Gavin McInnis' twitter, he is pretty much "batshit crazy" on the other side of things. Trump supporter, Men's Rights hero... and so on.

The theory that I operate on (which has the amount of research effort you've read above put into it, so virtually none) is that the mix of two diametrically opposed leaders produced some form of catalytic reaction which resulted in a super-edgy publication which presented nuance to the world.

Without the internal checks and balances, they've presented as "one man's treasure" (and everyone else's trash).

There are other problems at vice too though ... $30k to publish anything you want... have a search for "Nutella"

Vice is basically native advertising pretending to be cool.
