There was a lot of inspiration the other way too, though.

Here are two little instances I came across recently where the french copied their rhetoric and symbolism from America:

In 1787 Thomas Jefferson said, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants". Then in 1793 Bertrand Barère, in an influential speech to the national assembly advocating execution of the king, repeated "The tree of liberty grows only when watered by the blood of tyrants" . In French sources the quote is often (incorrectly) attributed to Barère only.

Similarly, during the American revolution, Americans raised symbolic "liberty poles" in their towns. Directly inspired by this, during the french revolution most cities raised and decorated "Trees of Liberty" in their central squares. King Louis even stooped to visiting and honoring the one in Paris to appease revolutionaries (it didn't help).

(The French took the idea of "watering the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants" quite literally).
As another self-loathing millennial, it's also distressing to empirically see the detrimental effect of my elders making extremely poor choices that will fundamentally affect my life much more than theirs.

Nobody really wants to disenfranchise certain voters. But it doesn't mean that we aren't frustrated with their poor choices either.
If only. That actually sounds like a plausible, perhaps even advantageous structure. Imagine that, a testing environment for government. Dang, I actually like that.
Right, I was actually going to comment that the allocation scheme in this algorithm seems painfully slow compared to the kind of allocation you can get out of a separate nursery where you're just allocating the next free space. I forgot by the time I finished the post.

First-fit seems like it could be quite slow here.

The implication seems to be that they can at least avoid locking for allocation (and deallocation and promotion) as long as they find a fit within the reserved region for the goroutine, but I'm still confused how they maintain this separation safely.
You might consider utilizing Geometric Algebra. A lot of geometry-related things are straightforward to express with it, and there's a nice C++ library that implements it.
I like the random selection part as anti-corruption measure. But the top 0.1 percent IQ filter is not very democratic. You can train for those (if you have the time and money) and there will always be some cultural bias built into the test. It's uncomfortably close to excluding a whole race or sex.
Maybe have them give the same user agent?
I'm not mocking you - just disagreeing with one of your premises.

While I doubt anyone will ever produce a concrete proposal for a testing system that is not too problematic for me to support it, I am not dismayed in the least by the prospect of losing voters who are not willing to invest the mental energy required by a 20-minute test on the topic of the vote.

You seem to assume that a reduction in voter turnout is unconditionally bad. I disagree.
I've eaten apricot kernels as a kid, along with most of my family, certainly much more than 8 seeds a day, and we never had any issues. I've also seen them sold in stores in China, cheaply and in bulk. I am guessing that either (a) they're just trying to be over-cautious to protect themselves from potential liability, or (b) perhaps some people have a heightened sensitivity to this, or (c) perhaps it's some special, more poisonous type of apricot - which makes me question why they wouldn't just pick a less poisonous variety for the product. EDIT: Researching this more, I'm seeing that the danger is much more real than I thought. Not sure how to reconcile this with my very vivid childhood memories of consuming these things in pretty large quantities (though like the other poster in this thread, we've had to break apricot pits with a hammer to get at the seeds, we didn't have the seeds conveniently pre-packaged).
"On balance democracy is a good thing" and "this electorate is utter shit" are not contradictory beliefs :-)

On the face of it this seems like a terrible idea, and certainly the politicians promoting it are fucking cretins of the lowest order. But, maybe we're wrong! After all, the people who generally voted Leave are the same folks who have not shared all that much in the prosperity created by global capitalism. Come to think of it, so are most of the folks who voted Remain. It gets a bit tiring, for the listener and the speaker, when one constantly blames so many of society's ills on wealth inequality and plutocracy, but wealth inequality and plutocracy are responsible for a lot of society's ills. I do take some solace in the fact that the rich will suffer the consequences of this referendum the same as the poor - however they can withstand it better than the poor, too. I don't think the average Briton is going to be better off for leaving the EU, but if this convinces the ruling class that they should try fucking everyone else over a little bit less (I doubt it will), maybe it will end up having been worth it.
The decision tree remains the same as before.

Both systems have active runtime sub-systems, GC, scheduler, and a compiler front-end.

Java, of course, has a virtual machine and intermediate representation (byte codes), and a JIT to make it performant. The runtime class loading mechanism is a key +input here. The JIT aspect is a mix, with the -input being the upfront startup cost.

Go has far better C linkage, access to underlying memory object image, and provides the (glaringly missing from JVM) unsigned integer types.

Java has a more modern type system and first class metadata facilities, with -input being "more rope". Go has a 'interesting' type system, with -input being source level fragility, but +input here is "less rope".

Having extensively worked with concurrent systems in both languages, the distinction ultimately boils down to a question of whether langauge level continuation (fiber/green) as provided by Go vs. library/ByteCodeEngineering (various Java libs) is a critical requirement.

I honestly think it should be clear at this point that Go is really displacing Python and the notion of Go vs. Java is a false dichotomy.
Japanese? OK but this is common in Europe as well since I can remember (40 years)

Sorry, that should say "when they are regular" – not rare. Have edited my post.

Do you find the regularity of referendums naturally makes people more inclined to be educated on the issues at hand? Anecdata obviously, but nevertheless interesting.
What about decisions like electing the leader of the free world? The most powerful person on earth? Should that be left up to every day people?

I think that people should be able to make big decisions that effect them. Direct democracy is more useful than ever, the elites use our republic to manipulate people more than ever. They game the system and with no balance or checks on their power.

Every http request/response is a message.

Modern development is lousy with message based architectures. It's just at the system level and not natively supported paradigm in most languages.
I live in London, this is silly and seeing so many remain/pro-eu people chuck toys out of prams and be frankly akin to upset children being told no you can not stay up past 9pm as it is a school night, play out in many forms.

Still, more people voted to leave the EU than voted for the current government, so can see how some things are viewed by the loosing side and some people sore losers would be putting it mildly.

3 Things Startups Can Learn from 'One Piece' Manga
I'm having trouble understanding what the practical difference between the transaction concept and something like RAII. It may just be the example they chose (goroutine processes an incoming request, does not "share" the contents with anyone else, and terminates when complete) but nonetheless I'm having a mental block. Can anyone clarify?

Note that I'm not saying that they should've used RAII along with existing GC, I'm just trying to distinguish the transaction concept and the RAII concept.
You obviously didn't read the article, but the terrible headline is at least partly to blame for this.
It is still an issue on a practical level. Last year of the 160K asylum seekers in Sweden less than 500 found a job. That's of a country which has a population of less than 10M. How is Sweden's benefit system supposed to cope?
The unstated reasoning is that it isn't luck. I disagree, but I'm pretty sure that's it.
This is regarded as a bit of a myth. Search for swords in this official PDF https://www.parliament.uk/documents/commons-information-offi....

MPs have never been able to carry weapons in to the chamber so if it was a rule it's a bit silly (which doesn't mean it's not true given how silly the rest of the UK democracy is).
I think it should be said to clear things up that EU citizens in the UK are not going to be "chucked out". This is not going to happen and the major political figures have said as much on live broadcast today. Yes, it would be prudent to get indefinite leave to remain if you can or something more solid - whatever you can. But the UK needs you and even if a hardcore right wing lunatic tried to expel you it is completely impractical.

I also noticed some Irish people mentioning they would have to sell their house and leave - please for your sake, look up the official information on Irish/UK rules, you will find that they have freedom of movement regardless of the EU and in fact it goes much, much further than the EU rules.

Specifically: "Unlike other EU citizens, UK citizens may retire to Ireland without having to establish that they have sufficient resources or that they have private health insurance." http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/moving_country/moving_t...

"Irish citizens automatically have a right to reside in the UK as part of the common travel area. If you were habitually resident in Ireland or any of the other places in the common travel area before you came to the UK, you will automatically satisfy the conditions of the HRT." https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/coming-from-abroa...

I think everybody needs to try and calm down. Even though a great many of us would have preferred not to leave, this can be OK.

The UK can easily end up in the EEA which has freedom of movement etc anyway.

This is not the time for panicked reactions!
I wish I could flag this comment. Unnecessary trolling.
I'd be very interested in seeing that analysis if you end up making it.
But it's a policy Stalin and his ilk carried out, at near global level. With fairly disaterous results.
Your analogy of the pipes seems spot on. I’m currently selling an underwater condo in Norfolk, VA for 40% less than I bought it ten yours ago while I was in the military. Now, I’m working in Silicon Valley where no one can afford a house, where friends and family’s houses have doubled in price over the same period. It is two different worlds. One has Trump bumper stickers, the other Hillary. One never recovered from 2008, the other is doing great.

More than broken pipes though, I feel this is the natural tendency of easy money. As the central banks hand out money, they hand it to the well connected. This money is then misallocated since it wasn’t distributed by the market but by fiat and this is the underlying cause of the decline in productivity. Raising rates, paying off debt, and less government micromanaging, while painful in the short term, is required in the long term for stable, efficient markets.
> India's share of world income collapsed from 22.6 per cent in 1700, almost equal to Europe's share of 23.3 per cent at that time, to as low as 3.8 per cent in 1952.

Not sure how useful this statistic is - it's including the collapse of the Mughal Empire in the early 1700's. British company rule is usually dated around the mid-1700's, with the British Raj starting in the mid-1800's. We're also looking at percentage of the global economy, so it's not clear how much of this is a decline in the Indian economy and how much is it not growing as fast as other countries.
That's unfair, it wasn't 2% but 52% of the voting population.

Not sure if you are trolling, but I'll bite.

For one, and by definition, broken agreements and extra burden to paimfully craft new ones. Work duplication. Petty fighting for minute details with each potential partner.

Next, broken trust. We have spent years negotiating with the UK, accedimg to ever increasing demands, accepting expansion of the EU to the east at your behest (and then complaining about too many poles), etc. Luckily we did mot accept Turkey (which I actually supported, but in the current situation would have been a further destabilizing factor) at your (and USA's) behest.

And now you quit. You shatter all we have built together. Not nice. Resentiment is bound to take hold of lots of europeans against britons. I for one do not welcome you anymore. I hope all agreements with the UK are declared void, students are not accepted in university exchange programs, that you have to pass screening processes (like all mon-EU people have) to enter and set shop in any EU country, that you have to prove cultural and language integration whenever you decide to permanently move to another EU country, that you are only allowed to move if you have a work permit and a work offer, etc.

In short, the EU should put back all red tape that belongs to any non-EU member. And each piece of red tape will be romeved, or not, after long negotiations, which the EU will agressively stear to defend our interests.

Is this retaliation? At all! YOU have decided this. The club you are leaving is all that, and much more. You are leaving ALL that behind.

Will this happen? Is this in the EU's interest? You bet. Maybe not strictly in our economic interest, but defenitely in a political sense.

We have been dealt an existential threat, and we need to show the remaining 27 members how cold it is outside.

The reactions of EU polititians have been cristal clear: we are cutting ties with the UK, fast and furious.

Boris can pretend to continue to be european, but we will not necessarily welcome it.
> I think that's projection on their part

I'm sorry, what? You can certainly call it prejudice. There's plenty of trump supporters who aren't bigots, but there's also a lot of them who are, and Trump's campaign has been majorly based on demagoguery, bigotism and xenophobia.

If you're voicing/implying support for someone whose campaign is built on racism, don't be surprised if you're getting dirty looks.

As for dirty looks, that's what they are. You're accusing "the other side" of projection when you yourself are interpreting a look as "I want to kill you". Jeez.

Edit:

> But it's better for the rest of the world for Clinton to lose.

I appreciate the conendrum the US is facing in this election cycle, but if you're going to make decisions based on their worldwide implications, you should ask around in the rest of the world. Clinton is an inconsequential establishment politician; Trump is a loose cannon who "won't rule out using nukes in Europe". As someone living in said Europe, I really wonder how you got to that conclusion.
That's not evidence in my book.

If you check the history of the European Union (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_European_Union) it is history of various agreements between an ever-changing set of member states. Eventually (1992) there is the Maastricht Treaty that creates called the European Union, but that has been amended various times. To complicate things there is also the European Economic Community (renamed to European Community) and member states are in/out of various important provisions of European governance such as the Euro or the Schengen Agreement (like the UK and Ireland). The Schengen Agreement I believe includes even some non-EU members.

So people googling for "What is the EU" isn't proof of stupidity in my book. They may haven been familiar with critical elements of the EU (which were the deciding factors for their vote) but want to understand the full implications of this historic vote.
I grew up eating these (as a byproduct of being around lots of apricots). The seed is a huge pain to get into--we would use a hammer and half the time it would smash the whole thing to bits. We were always told not to eat too many. I certainly would not recommend getting them in this easy to overdose packaging.

I am also sometimes worried that legitimate almonds are being contaminated with apricot seeds. Often when I eat almonds I'll taste that old cyanide bitterness of apricot seeds. The two nuts look almost identical.
Brewing steaming hot coffee directly onto a glass carafe filled with ice looks like the perfect way to crack the carafe.

That would be a pretty one-sided weighting. And it penalizes not only age but education and "wisdom" (assuming these are correlated).

I was the lead barista at my shop for several years before switching back to tech, and I would %100 agree with you.

Depending on the coffee or roast, the coffee will do better as cold-brew or Japanese-style iced. Some coffees are absolutely terrible as cold-brew and vis-versa.

That being said, I almost always prefer cold-brew (bias-disclosed).

Furthermore, this article seems to follow a trend in speciality coffee of taking some loose science then jumping to completely arbitrary conclusions. Often it is hard to tell if they are on to something, just want the attention, or have something to gain economically by propagating their view.
For anyone else who was wondering what "80 Go" means, it's 80GB.

It took me a few seconds to realize they're located in Paris and the French call their bytes "octets" -- hence, giga octets and tera octets. At first I thought it was something like "80 Go instances" where Go might be a cheap vps variant of theirs or something.
In my jumbled mess of thoughts this is a rough list of priorities that should be addressed at before democracy can work in a "more perfect way" and can't be misused by the power-hungry elites or the disgruntled masses led by dangerous clowns:

1) Wealth Inequality brought on by unfair access to opportunity (This one item needs its own list of priorities in order to be figured out... Basic income? Better social support in the form of jobs, education, health? Fair legal treatment?.. too long to list here)

2) An uninformed populace (Removal of "personalities" from politics. Maybe even a shift from voting for people but rather for issues. Engage people in political life often, not just when elections roll around. A more responsible media landscape - Less Kardashians and much less opinion or propaganda journalism.)

3) Get money out of politics or at least enforce mandatory transparency of financial influence in politics

4) Ability to delegate your voting power to someone you trust (it could be a group or an individual). If you're on social assistance and your priority is to survive, you might not have time to be informed about every single issue. You could however empower an individual, association, union or another entity that you feel represents your interests to vote on your behalf).
You're greatly over simplifying early American politics. Neither the French nor English were a consistent "common enemy". Rather there was extensive debate as to which would be/was a better ally or worse foe, and the US got into conflict with (and conducted mutually beneficial diplomacy with) both on several different occasions in the years after its founding.

(Below are several events in which the early US was aligned with either side, note this changed frequently)

The US took over former land claimed by France and Spain. Very few Spanish and French actually lived there. It was mostly territory claimed by Spain and France, but almost totally unsettled. The land was populated with Indians, but they had already seen their populations ravaged by European disease.

Somewhere like Illinois is littered with places named in French or Algonquin, but there is zero culture leftover.

If you take the corollary to RAII (resource disposal is destruction) as a given, then this (and any other automatic GC) system does not fit it. In C++ RAII, deallocation and deinitialization happens deterministically. In this it does not.

> The United Kingdom is probably going to ultimately dissolve as a result of this vote

Well, the union between Scotland and the rest of the UK might dissolve, but going from four to three countries in the UK isn't really dissolving the UK (NI had a pro-EU majority, but it doesn't sound like it really changes the basic dynamics keeping NI in the UK.)

> "Worst leader ever" seems apt when you directly caused a nation's end.

Peacefully breaking with Europe in a way that might also result in a peaceful break with Scotland vs., for just the first competition that jumps to mind, the Munich Conference? Yeah, I think outside of the passions of the moment, Cameron's likely to be seen as something far less notable than "worst PM ever".
In Switzerland referenda are a very institutionalized and regular decision making tool. It is mostly used to get rid of political gridlock and making sure special interests don't filter out the will of the people (director proposal). That, combined with the fact that in Switzerland there is no real parliamentary "opposition" (everybody voted in forms the government) turns the whole game into a problem solving process rather than political one-up-man ship. You essentially don't need an opposition anymore to keep politicians in check, that's what the people are for.
Today's EU is like America prior to the ratification of the US constitution. It's not suitable for long-term functionality.

You probably ought to convince Switzerland (an enclave) and Norway to join. You probably ought to convince Greece to leave. You then need federal taxes, a unified military command, a head of state, a single EU citizenship, and all the other trappings of a real country.
