Does anyone have an explanation, or a link to an explanation for all the happenings in Turkey? I'm an occasional follower of this kind of stuff, but it would be great to understand the full situation in Turkey in an easily digestible way.

1. The current coup

2. The president's history

3. The different terrorist groups operating within the country and their beliefs and goals

4. Turkey's legal system and freedoms allowed

5. Information on past coups

6. The general beliefs and sentiments among Turkish people

Edit: And a simple question that I'm sure is a complex answer: is this attempted coup bad or good for a peaceful free turkish people?

Straya: Why I Love You
Its not even clear yet who the sides are. Erdoğan released a statement that Gülen supporters (a religious group) were behind the coup, while the military seems to be claiming it is a secular coup, and has not named a leader behind it.
trust me they get plenty of attention, thats probably why they are jerks because they just get even more needy.
I love it. I have been going through the same thing, as I'm new to 3D. Learning the pipeline, and trying to figure out all the options we have out there for WebGL. I ended up going with option #3, but due to the massive amount of data in my array i ran into performance issues when generating the initial array. I was able to split the original arrays ArrayBuffer into smaller ones, and send them to web workers (transferable objects :D) then concatenate the buffers at the end. I'll try to write an article as well, its amazing how much performance you can squeeze out of WebGL by doing your animation inside of your shader.

Please do a write up on the RTT/Render to texture approach you mentioned ;)

And with Moores Law running out of steam (isn't physics a bitch!) this might not even ever happen. At least not in the sense which drove us up to 64 bit. There are of course plenty of reasons why we would like to do math with 128 or more bits, but for memory addresses, 64 bit are a plenty.
Happily, I found this article more positive than the comments here make it sound. The system is changing. People are being exonerated. These injustices are getting press.

Obviously, it would be nice if injustice never occurred. But injustices do occur and it is far worse when we would rather pretend it doesn't happen than to own up and do what we can to redress them.
I respect that opinion, and I'm with you on treating (computation in general, in fact) as a public utility. It seems that you and I have different attitudes regarding the scope of government involvement in this sort of thing.

I appreciate the discussion and your thoughtful and forthcoming attitude:) Makes the internet much more enjoyable to use when disagreements are carefully examined rather than the usual tendency in comment threads to degenerate into being just plain mean.
I'm upset at the dramatic change in the role of the character... beyond this, I don't have a problem with guys or women playing a sex-figure in a movie... It happens a lot. My issue mainly comes from the marketing of the movie, and the change in the character for the movie. There are plenty of people that get upset by reboots of a movie in any number of ways.

Likewise, I didn't get upset when they made Starbuck and Boomer women. It wasn't that they changed the gender role, or even elaborated on the nature of a character or role, but that they fundamentally changed that character.
I tend to agree with all of your points.

How do you feel about the 'eshell' mode in emacs? I think it's neat because it's basically a normal shell plus an elisp REPL.

I imagine a terminal emulator with access to a large library of functions (such as a trusted subset of npm modules) could be useful.
I share your optimism, and I am confident we will figure it out, which is why I describe these apps and similar ones as fads. They prey on ignorance and that will not last forever because the users are becoming less ignorant, as recent history (30ish years) has shown us.

For about a year, some openly suspected Erdogan frustrated the US enough for them to foment a coup. The US gov't loudly signaled its displeasure: "Early on, Obama saw Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the president of Turkey, as the sort of moderate Muslim leader who would bridge the divide between East and West—but Obama now considers him a failure and an authoritarian, one who refuses to use his enormous army to bring stability to Syria." (http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2016/04/the-obam...)

(I haven't yet seen any evidence regarding the US's role is in this coup, if any. I just mention this as a prominent example of how much he frustrates even his allies, so it's natural for many to go to the trouble of replacing him, despite all the risks.)
The army is secular. Every 20 years they remove some dictator or zealot that the system seems to throw up regularly. I'm not sure if there's been a split in the armed forces before, but the police always cop a hammering.

The both can be true.

I think the coup is related to the recent position of Erdogan towards Russia.
Basically, it is Chinese in China vs Chinese in the US in Chinese Hong Kong.
He's sending them out to die perhaps, in his name. Is he out there? Not a nice move.

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-turkey-security-eu-idUSKCN...
The linked Atlantic article is REALLY robust. It's not just a Twitter feed!
I wouldn't be so sure about Erdogan losing power.

Erdogan has an extreme amount of support within the country not just from the people but from the Turkish intelligence services & military aswell. A lot of people have elevated him to the same level as Ataturk.

I'm about 80% sure Erdogan will manage to retain power from just what I know about Turkish politics - which isn't a lot to be honest.

Early days right now but seems like the coup forces have advantage but that's largely because a lot of the soldiers don't realize that it's not the Generals who approved this but rather some lower level colonels.

Once, the soldiers find out they're defying the generals then they'll likely back down and Erdogan will retain power.

But once again - very early days.

> It needed to run in less than 1 second

I've always wondered how these competitions measure the program's runtime consistently. I guess the easiest way would be to specify the CPU the program will run on and use the bash `time` builtin, but that seems inconvenient for participants to obtain that CPU and controlling for the cache might be difficult (maybe a kernel module that clears the cache before the program runs and make sure the program runs fully in cores dedicated to that program and is consistent enough with memory accesses so L3 is comparable).

On the other hand they could just count instructions run, which would be completely deterministic, but might lead to some "optimizations" that don't make sense like using `rep movs` to zero memory instead of loops. Using a higher-level bytecode would have the same problems. They could also give different values to each instruction and possibly memory access, but even then students would be ignoring important real-world cache or pipeline optimizations.

But maybe I'm just overthinking this. This type of problem would be better suited for GPUs anyway.

You've just reminded me; sometimes I need to run something under Valgrind, and upon Valgrind not liking something, sparking a break using GDB. I expect that's possible using other debuggers, but it's so, SO easy using Valgrind and GDB. So by this reckoning, GDB is the best debugger I've ever used.

The majority of people who support Erdogan are simply opportunists. They don't actually care about him. He has managed to maintain power and influence mostly by bullying and bribing people and illegally detaining or otherwise silencing those who speak against him. We're about to see just how resilient his house of cards is.
It's quite easy to get to that number of lines once you have code for integrations with other products, monitoring, devops, patched versions of broken or unmaintained libraries, a growing number of tests etc. We run a relatively small product and we already have 30k lines with just two people.
Excellent point. But perhaps they meant "Latin American other than Mexico".

Here in Silicon Valley, there might be Argentinian, Brazilian, Chilean, etc. restaurants that I'm unaware of, but even including the north bay, surely very few.

And in most of America, predictably there'd be none in most towns and cities (aside from New York, Miami, etc.).

Which is pretty different than Mexican, which is indeed widely embraced in one form or another.

P.S. I did just see a new Cuban restaurant in the south bay the other day; I'm not trying to say these things are never here.

P.P.S. a fifth regional American "Mexican" cuisine is, I'm told, found far from the coasts and from the southern U.S. border (possibly especially in the Midwest), "Mexican" almost entirely in name only, which may e.g. use ketchup as the only red sauce, and is often denied to be Mexican at all by fans of the other 4 kinds.

I hear that something similar is what is usually, if not universally, found in e.g. London as well.

This argument is fallacious because a real person, upon being sent a message, is not obligated to reply, irrespective of a mutual match having been obtained.

By questioning the bot author over the morality of their methodology, your post appears to suggest that people who don't reply to messages would be equally perceived as having wasted the time of message authors, which is a view that your downvoters find troubling. That may not have been your intention, given your disclaimer and edits, but I can see why it could be construed that way.
Well, I have to use OpenGL for my development, and it's a giant state machine that works mainly via side-effects. It's notoriously frustrating to work with, but that's life. I realize not all code works that way, but I'd bet the majority of code does. So I stand by my statement that it's a terrible way to debug, maybe with the caveat "unless you can work with only pure code and no state."
Tangential, but why do people support Erdogan? From what I hear he's a terrible leader and moving towards a full dictatorship.
This assumes Erdogan is rational or that he would be quite concerned with the lives of those going outside (something which could be true, but his dealings with earlier uprisings give me doubt). Mass protests against the coup (even if Erdogan is on the winning hand) could solidify his support and give a signal to the military that future coups might not be succesful.

With real net-neutrality protections, I believe this is false. You are free to connect your own server to the internet and serve your own content through it. Also, if you do host with a third-party, it still makes sense to do backups of your data so if something like this does happen, you can move to another host.
Lots of background in this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12104221

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan used the Gulen movement as allies to gain power. However, once in power, Erdogan turned on Gulen, attempted to purge his followers from the police and judiciary, then used the movement as a "fifth-column" type scapegoat.

secularism in Turkey was born at the point of a bayonet. [..] Turkey's government is both secular and democratic, due to the founding father of Turkey, Kemal Ataturk. While Ataturk was a brutal dictator, he also used that power to rebuild a Turkish national identity, secularize the government, and eventually transition to democracy.

As many news sources have pointed out, the military sees itself as safeguarding the vision and (secular) state structure of Ataturk, and regularly purges the government when its leaders violate Ataturk's premise.

So it is most likely that the coup is secular in nature, and it is Erdogan's spin that is blaming Gulen.
Additionally I wonder how bloody (vs. clean) past coups have been; seeing videos of civilians under fire, so this doesn't seem to be the most benevolent of coups.
"Refugees arriving in Italian town given imitation bank notes as local currency"

Still misleading; I thought they were being given counterfeit currency. "Local alternative currency" perhaps?
I have a friend who is a realtor and we talk about this subject occasionally. My understanding is that most realtors will recommend using Zillow to "get a feel" for the market. But Zillow's estimates are only as good as the data that goes into them. Usually, data for an area is publicly available and up-to-date, but sometimes it's very old or just plain wrong.

I think Zillow claims their estimates to be within 10% of actual sale price. To me, that figure seem to be pretty good from a data analysis stand point; but 10% of the value of a house is a lot of money for even a modest home.

Most realtors used closed databases, like MLS, to document sales and compare area housing prices. I believe MLS data is typically manually entered and verified (I'm not 100% sure about this though). I believe there is also a lot of extra metadata added to MLS listings that Zillow can't get from public records. Realtors also tend to look at property tax assessments for their areas in order to gauge market trends (just like Zillow does, except without a hidden algorithm).
If you count interpreted languages, then there are plenty of killer debuggers for JavaScript, at the very least. Chrome dev tools is just as good (probably better if you count all the tabs) as I remember Visual Studio's debugger being.
the courts have a right to strike down and nullify laws.

And, at least theoretically, the military oath to defend the constitution could require them to overthrow a government which does not conform to the constitution.

In practice, of course, issues are likely to be resolved before they reach that point.
It's how Thailand is run...
That would explain why the military just bombed the intelligence HQ...
It is bad that a (mostly) democratic elected government is (tried to be) removed this way. This will make it really difficult to work with whoever is in power, internationally.

But Erdogan forced this on the military. They were told to stand down against ISIS and to fight a new impossible-to-win fight against the kurdish minority.

I really hope the situation will somehow calm down. Otherwise we could have a new civil war at our hands, forcing more people to cross (those stupid) national borders to find safety.

Having lived most of my life in California, I was surprised to discover there was such a thing as "California" food when I traveled to the East Coast about 10 years ago. It turns out that "California" food there was food that involved avocados. I had never heard of such a thing before.

Avocados are definitely eaten in California, and they have been for as long as I remember, but I'm not under the impression that it defines California food. Occasionally, I'll get avocados in a sandwich, salad, or burrito, but that's about it. Maybe eating avocados was so foreign to the rest of the country that it became associated with California.

I guess if you don't live in other parts of the country, you don't have a sense of which foods are unique to your region and which foods are common throughout the country.
To be clear, the reviews were not negative. To me, they were too focused on details that did not matter IMHO. They were trying very hard to be foodies, missing the point of the food and the restaurant.
