I'm not arguing they are terrible people. I'm arguing they are people, and like everyone else they are for their own interests. The point is that people, regardless whether their ethics are similar to the average person or not, that have too much power, can be dangerous to the world as a whole if not kept in check.

The UK has essentially opted out of everything it could, but with one big exception: not delaying free movement for the accession of Poland, Bulgaria and Romania.

Now that anger has been roused about immigration, a substantial part of the Brexit vote wants to end free movement altogether, which is simply not achievable in the EU.

> "Maybe the populations of France, Spain, Italy et al will accept that they can't fund welfare states by borrowing in perpetuity and stop voting in radical left-wing governments."

I agree with a lot of what you said, apart from this statement.

There are problems with borrowing in a system based on debt, particularly if the interest on that debt is in the hands of profit-motivated enterprises. However, that is not the only way of funding public spending. It's possible to shift to a debt-free money system where new money reaches the system through government spending. That way there's no debt to pay back, and the level of public spending would only need to be limited by a need to keep a manageable rate of inflation.

In other words, whilst I agree there are problems with how public spending is funded right now, the problem isn't the radical left per se, as there are ways of running a fiscally responsible 'radical left' government.

While true in some regards, it's not the whole story.

The author of the article gives the example of a type of eye surgery only possible through augmentation of the surgeon.

Without augmentation, the surgery isn't possible.

It illustrates that for at least some things "higher quality" isn't the same as "higher production".

Unless instead of calling this "higher quality" it's better termed something else. "Previously unavailable products/results/quality?"

The basic idea is to have a uniform way of setting values to variables or calling a setter method. That's very helpful for writing macros that need to both read and set a value.

For example, the `+=`-operator found in many languages is implemented as a macro in CL (INCF). It needs to read the value of a place, increment it and then set the new value to the same place.

Doing that with a variable is easy. Using non-lisp syntax

x += 5

expands to

x = x + 5

Doing that with object slots is easy too, if you don't mind accessing the slot directly. However, if you want to have getter and setter methods (which may not even correspond directly to a slot in the object) the expansion would look different.

o.setFoo(o.getFoo() + 5)

or if the getter and setter can have the same name

o.foo(o.foo() + 5)

Since the expansion is different, the macro would have to figure out whether it's dealing with a variable or an accessor method and behave differently. With generalized references you can use the accessor method as if it was a variable

o.foo() // calls the getter
o.foo() = 5 // calls the setter

Now you easily can expand

o.foo() += 5

to

o.foo() = o.foo() + 5

just the same as you would with a variable. Behind the scenes you still have separate getter and setter methods, but the macro doesn't need to worry about that.
In the announcement, they explicitly state that the performance changes will make Arial and other very common fonts render less well. Is this a sound decision, in an age where these fonts are still very widely explicitly used?
> Had we been voting for the 1970s era EEC, I'd have gladly voted Remain.

The UK was not a signatory of any relevant treaty post-EEC. It opted out of the Schengen Area, of the Euro zone and even of the Charter of Fundamental Rights.

The idea that the UK was being controlled by a distant bureaucracy in Brussels is one of the many lies told by tabloids. The EU is far from perfect, but the UK was never in it in any meaningful sense. It was mostly being oppressed by tomato size regulations and things of that sort. Ironically, they will probably still have to comply to all that if they wish to maintain trade agreements with Europe. This entire thing was based on lies and disgust at "experts". And a good dose of xenophobia.

I have lived in the UK and I have never seen a EU flag being flown anywhere (unlike what you see in any other EU country). It was always more likely to see an American of Commonwealth-country flag than an EU one.

There is no EU constitution, by the way. It was rejected by referendum in several member states and the project died.

The UK already enjoyed access to EU markets while giving almost nothing in return to the common project. In fact, many people in Europe felt that the UK was participating mostly to prevent further integration. Even British comedy thought so:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37iHSwA1SwE

I think younger people see things differently, are less xenophobic and less attached to nationalist ideas, borders and walls. The next generation might have brought real participation of the UK in the EU (i.e. real skin in the game). Unfortunately, Baby Boomers still had another social contract to wipe their asses with before they checked out. So here we are.
>>stop voting in radical left-wing government

I'd like to point out that nearly every government in EU is right-wing at the moment. The UK government that is apparently giving so many benefits away and letting so many immigrants in was right-wing for quite a while now, so I don't think it's the "radical left-wing" which is the problem here.

And the reason why these issues as you called them are not being addressed is that maybe not everyone sees them as issues? I'd love to live long enough to see creation of United States of Europe, where my own nationality was just replaced with one EU passport - but a lot of people are vehemently against that, thinking that national identities matter in 2016.

If you use a particular version of each letter at each size, you start to accumulate positioning error as you go along a line (or end up with odd gaps if you try to avoid it). Nowadays, we tend to aim for precise reproduction of the font's sizing, even where the size ends up not being a round number of pixels, for consistency. You'd then need at least 16 versions of each letter to approximately cover each subpixel position, and it starts not really being a win.

I was at RIT during the later half of the 90s. Most of my professors had done work at Kodak, and the mantra was that if you had a job there, you were set for life.

They had some really smart people working there, and they invented some really important tech that was used beyond cameras. Think image processing for satellites etc.

Not 100% what the article said. Yes, prosperity for all is what the elite wants to achieve. But, they have a different understanding what "prosperity for all" means. For the normal person it may not mean "more growth, more efficiency" but a stable life, job, apartment. The assumption is that most people want less risk not more gain, while the people at the top think more gain is what everybody wants.

Just that much explaining the article. My personal opinion is that discussing the elite as psychopaths who just want to exploit humanity as boring. Yes these people exist and at the top there may be more than in the middle, but it's simply not common human behaviour. Most people want to be geniunely valuable to the other people around them. Your boss wants to make a good impression on you, etc. But the understanding of the world and how the different factors of your life influence you differently than the factors of other people's life influences them, that is what leads people to make different decisions and set different priorities.

"Survival for now has mostly been solved"

Approximately half of the world's population lives on less than $2.50 a day. Some 1 billion children live in poverty.

Alright, status report.

The official documentation talks about the folders /chrome/browser/sync/engine, /chrome/browser/sync/syncable and /chrome/browser/sync/protocol.

These folders are missing from the source tree, as you can see here: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/master/...

However, I decided to give the benefit of the doubt and did a few file-searches, in case the files were moved at some point and the documentation was just not updated.

And it seems like that's actually the case. The folder /sync contains all three missing folders (engine, syncable, protocol) and more: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/master/...

But no - they were seriously thinking that some other's country citizens' problems should be considered equal to the US citizen ones by the President of US. I agree that all people are equal, but elected officials/statesmen should always consider their constituents couple of orders of magnitude more equal than the rest of the people.

The entire premise of NoSQL is based on two (perceived) shortcomings of SQL databases: its rigid structure limits flexibility and its transactional safety limits speed and scale. So it really depends on what you mean. No, NoSQL isn't that different from regular SQL in that it still provides an object-based data storage and retrieval facility. Yes, NoSQL is different from regular SQL because it does away with the most fundamental properties of SQL.

isn't a collection pretty much like a table

No, it isn't. A table (or relation) has predefined columns, and each row adheres to the data type and constraints for each column. If you were to model a NoSQL "collection" as a table, you'd end up with a sparse matrix where the number of columns could be equal to number_of_rows * number_of_distinct_attributes of the original collection.

you have to tie two collections together with a common ID

Nothing in SQL requires you to join collections based on a common ID (though it is the most useful). But still, an SQL join has a predefined result structure regardless of the actual table contents or join condition. There is no predicting the data structure of a NoSQL join.

Saudi education literally teaches children that they must wage jihad against the infidels (to spread their faith) and that's after 9/11 when they supposedly reviewed their textbooks for children to remove all texts that might spread hate.

If you want to do updates you want a traditional transactional database. If you really need massive scalability (which seems unlikely) you should figure out a way to store your data in a log-structured/append-only way, and then use Cassandra or Riak.
That would actually be incredibly surprising, shocking, in fact. There's really only so much work that can be done inspecting and refurbishing the rocket stages, they only have so many systems. They are precisely the opposite sort of beasts as the Space Shuttles which were some of the most complicated systems ever created by mankind. The Falcon 9 boosters are pretty much just engines, propellant tanks, avionics, and some miscellaneous bits. There's just not a ton to inspect and not a ton that can go wrong. More importantly, the vast majority of the cost of the vehicle is in the engines and tanks. The tanks are unlikely to degrade from launch to launch and are practically binary in their serviceability (they either work or they don't). Engines are incredibly expensive to manufacture and realistically the amount of inspection work that would need to be done to match that cost is just mind-boggling, and there's no good reason to imagine they'd need to do more than bore scoping. Especially since at this point if they find a potentially problematic engine, they just unbolt it and bolt on a brand new one. This increases costs a bit, of course, but it still saves a tremendous amount of costs. If the incremental flight cost of a first stage goes from the full manufacturing cost down to the cost of an engine or two plus recovery, inspection, and refurbishment, that's at a minimum tens of millions of dollars saved.
