There are advantages to arms length transactions, and ownership that is determined by possession as much as records held somewhere. It's nice to be able to escape your country with some of the wealth your family has built up when a dictator takes over. Or maybe, it is only necessary to shelter that wealth for a short time during a period of relative political insanity.

Of course those same abilities enable organized crime, and the ability of dictators to destroy their own countries, then live decadent lives in a country that wasn't ruined by people like themselves.
The problem is that those instructions (wait to merge, then take turns) don't produce a zipper merge, they produce a "stop and start take turns" merge - the left-hand antipattern on http://trafficwaves.org/seatraf.html

They need the additional "keep lots of space ahead of you to allow cars to move in at traffic speed".

Given a stop-and-go merge, I think the best you can do is keep that left lane from forcing stop-and-go merging. if you can get a gap in the merging lane, the target lane can begin flowing more freely, thus opening space for the merging lane.

As an anecdote, I, a female millennial, was told through most of my adolescence by my whole family, "don't let a man ruin your future."

Yes, but usually Java compilers still tend to win when the benchmark is done in such a way that the 2nd level JIT is allowed to do its work.

Go usually wins in those benchmarks, where Java code is either interpreted or still compiled with the 1st level JIT.

And as mentioned, this is only relevant with the reference compiler, gccgo is much better.

I don't get it. How can they draw such a conclusion based on a very small sample? The difference between 4 and 8 deaths could easily be due to random luck. I wouldn't make healthcare decisions based on that study until it's replicated with ~10× as many patients.
I admit my wording is a little difficult. The reading of it I intended is that the establishment does not want any revolution, violent or otherwise, but they are stoking it whether they realize it or not. See brexit and the Trump and Sanders campaigns for context. All these are anti-globalists, anti-free trade, more insular focusing movements. I am not a supporter of Trump personally, but I can recognize he is tapping into a deep distrust of the establishment in the first world.

Whether it is true or not, many in the electorate blame neo-liberal policies pushed by the last couple of administrations for the current state of inequality in the first world, like NAFTA. People on the right blame immigration. That coupled with what many consider shady politics that is subverting the fairness of the democratic process, many people are angry. Many on the left realizing that Trump is a terrible candidate for their interests, a few have chosen to vote for Clinton, who despite being an establishment figure, at least has adopted some of the positions the populists ask for. I am on the left, and I think that in Trump vs. Clinton, we have more of a chance to hold her feet to the fire than Trump.

However, McMullin is the safest candidate that the moneyed interests could ever hope for. He for example is for free-trade in his public opinions. He is for lowering taxes on the rich. He doesn't have a strong stance on money in politics[0]. But if the moneyed interests who contribute a lot to campaigns for almost all the representatives do push the house to vote on McMullin in non-majority situation, you can bet people both on the left and the right will be irate. The leftists will see even the lifeline they have in Clinton fade. The right will be irate that the repubs didn't even choose their own nominee. Many people will be angry.

It doesn't have to end in violence or even revolution, but if the Trump campaign should teach anyone any lesson, is that it took a tape full of lewd comments to finally make it a sure bet for HRC. A candidate who called Mexicans rapists, promised to discriminate against Muslims, who called McCain a loser was tied with HRC until a few weeks ago. That's how upset they are.

[0] The only thing I could find from McMullin on money in politics. I am being charitable to him in not interpreting this as a favorable opinion on the current system in campaign finance.

> I submit that spamming is much closer to these unwanted public interactions than anything like rape.

None of those things are illegal, so you've already failed the most basic test for the analogy. Furthermore, you still seem to be missing the point that this is not an analogy between spamming and rape, but between falsely accusing someone of spamming and falsely accusing someone of rape.

> Is it as devastating as calling someone a speeder, a pot smoker, a thief, a rapist, or a murderer?

In your contrived hypothetical, any of that name-calling (because nobody could seriously call that an "accusation") would have the same consequences: none whatsoever for the target and being laughed out of the room for the "accuser". I'm sure you already realize that.

Of course, this is not at all what anyone is talking about. We're talking about falsely accusing someone of spamming, in a credible manner, and from a position of authority, which is exactly what happened to the individual in the article. If you don't think this had any consequences for him, then may I suggest that you read the article.

Surely you understand that there is a very big difference in consequences between yelling "spammer!" at the next person you see vs a multibillion dollar corporation suing you for being a spammer and sending their hordes of lawyers after you.

> I am trying to write a code that is readable and maintainable instead of building complex abstractions.

My point is that what's "readable and maintainable" depends on the language; especially on what facilities it provides, and to some extent community consensus (what's 'idiomatic').

Javascript's main facilities are first-class functions with lexical scope, lightweight key/value mappings (which it calls "objects") and prototypical inheritance between those objects.

Java's main facilities are classes with properties and methods; whilst it's recently gained first-class functions, most Java code has been written without them, and they'll always be in competition with classes+methods (e.g. look at all of the APIs which use single-method classes, like "Comparator").

These are very different, so what's readable/maintainable will differ in each. For example, Javascript's objects are so lightweight that it's idiomatic to write them inline exactly where they're needed, like 'foo({bar: function() { ... }, ...})'.

In idiomatic Java, such objects should be instances of a class, which should either be global or else implement a global interface. Since global class/interface declarations require standalone files, our declarations end up very far away from the use site; this prevents us accessing the use-site's scope and puts us under more pressure to make it descriptive, generic, reusable, etc.

> Yet Javascript has neither of those.

ES6 has a module system, Java has its "package" system. Trying to apply SML practices to either is a bad idea, just as trying to apply Java OO practices to JS is a bad idea, or trying to apply Lisp macro practices to C is a bad idea.

The virtues of being nice are often extolled, but it's kindness that's truly valuable. You can do nothing and be "nice", but only actions can make you kind. When you strive to be kind, you'll also start noticing who around also tries to be kind and who is merely nice.

The "right" answer to the question as posed does seem to be for the car not to deviate from its intended lane and right of way. However, the likely conclusion of this technology is streets that are totally unsafe for any kind of illegal crossing. As acceptable mortality thresholds are established, speed limits on automated cars are certain to increase, considering the unchecked thirst for convenience by owners of any technology. Once we have cars whizzing down the road at high speed, with an established social understanding that cars do not cede right of way, streets will essentially become off limits. Compare this to 100 years ago when playing outside and in the street was commonplace and relatively risk free. I'm not a Luddite, but is the freedom we're giving up over our world worth the convenience of automated driving?

That would also make it more difficult for market makers to price discriminate between large traders (e.g. Goldman) and the little guys (you with your eTrade account). The result is that you'll pay more and Goldman will pay less to trade.

People say this, but we had a similar situation as recently as Perot and it didn't change anything (though admittedly, Perot did not win a majority in any state).

Perhaps now that Trump successfully "hijacked" the GOP from the establishment and Sanders gave Clinton a serious run for her money in the primary, there will be more flexibility on independent ballot access and other third-party friendly laws, since major politicians may see that as a last resort. McMullin may be a case study for them, so I can see how he'd act as supporting evidence for this type of movement, but it'd only ever be enacted out of fear that the establishment will be unable to control the party structure moving forward.

Getting away from everything that I know.

I was born and raised in the States so it was all I knew about the world. Now that I've lived abroad for several years, in different countries, I don't know when or if I'll ever return. It's too interesting to be confronted with new/different experiences, on a regular basis, to want to go back to something I know so well.

There's a world map on my wall currently, with all the flags and countries listed underneath it. The other day I counted how many of those countries I know now (13) vs how many more there are to get to know (183), I feel like I've barely seen anything. Now if I could only earn more, that world map would look a lot smaller.

disingenuous to use a highly charged term like "blogspam" and then qualify it as "kinda". kettle/black. Why say "blogspam" if you don't mean it?

And while I agree that the OP is not indepth, it is not blogspam. AVX512 is a very real, very very real, order of magnitude, performance improvement. To give you an idea, going from standard 64-bit to AVX-256 with MKL Numpy (under ipython) you will go from 6-7 seconds, to under 1 second, on an identical 2012+ processor, on this code:

import numpy as np
np.random.seed(1234)
xx = np.random.rand(1000000).reshape(1000, 1000)
%timeit np.linalg.eig(xx)

The best way to test this is to run the above on bog-standard Ubuntu 16.04 (sudo apt-get install python(3)-pip / sudo pip(3) install numpy first), and then run it again after installing Anaconda Python.

AVX512 will halve this timing again, and before you tell me that Cuda will do this much faster, I'll remind you that there is a point at which 4000 cuda stream processors operating on 64bit data can, in many algos, be a vastly too large window. Phi KL's 72 branching cores with 4 threads and 2x512-bit AVX each, can be a very strong competitor to the flatspace GPUs in nonlinear algos. There is clear blue sky between the scalar architectures and the massively parallel architectures, which has not been targeted yet and this is where KL fits in. After all, the GPUs are still, first and foremost, designed to rotate and translate massive-amounts of triangles in 3d shooters, a task for which a vast number of very dumb little cores is optimal. As much as Nvidia make like you to believe different, that is still their primary market and it doesn't always map well to everything.

Between the current extremes of a small number of very flexible and clever cores (xeon/i7), and 4000 very stupid but numerous cores (GPU), there is a lot of room something in between.

Intel isn't so much late to the party as attacking an obliquely different segment of the market, which may prove very interesting indeed.

>You require effort in an order of magnitude greater than with PHP in order to achieve the same result..

An order of magnitude? Really? I don't think so.

Rust has a library (probably among others) called Horrorshow[1], that exports macros to do html templating.

You claim that it is easy in Php to do html templating. But you miss the fact that it provide zero sanity/security checks while doing so. You need to sanitize every one of those variables before inserting into the html stream.

You see, Php just trades off every bit of sanity and security for a little bit of ease of use. It is that simple.

>Maybe the approach was doomed from the start, but that didn't stop Moller from promising that you would be commuting to work by air in 10 years for decade after decade.

only the last one, m400 was doomed as i mentioned above (and it wasn't actually that clear from the start, m400 was actually pretty logical and reasonable move forward - only after first tests one could see it clear). Put yourself at his place at any point in the history of his flying car development and those 10 years would look like a reasonable estimate. I personally actually say today that in 5 years we'll have the Volocopter likes flying around.
In light of this, I think the whole point of the article is maximized. A couple of extremely rare fatalities every few years (hell, even every MONTH) are nothing compared to the carnage and hell we would be avoiding by removing humans as drivers. Until you can make a case that those two types of carnage are even comparable in numbers (which is unlikely), talking about trolleys and who to hit in case of an accident should indeed be reserved for freshman year ethics classes. Note, it's not even an interesting enough ethical problem to make it past Ethics 101 (sort of like, "Will you steal medicine to cure your dying family member?").

I tried to learn it, and found Forth to be an obfuscated, write-only language.

Forth programmers give a lot of lip service to writing short, well documented, elegant words (functions) but in real-world programs I've seen the opposite: the tendency has been to long, poorly documented, and convoluted words. (At least that's been my experience with open-source Forth programs. I've heard the libraries for commercial Forths are of much higher quality, but I have not verified this myself)

Forth has been compared favorably to Lisp, but I found them to be like night and day, and Lisp (and especially Scheme) to be far more elegant and easy to both read and write.

Forth might arguably be better than assembly, but unless you have a pressing need to write the tiniest programs possible (like on some resource-starved microcontroller), I'd be hard pressed to find a reason why you'd want to use Forth instead of some higher level language that is far less painful to work with.

In fact, I've even heard some Forth fans themselves say that the point of using Forth is to write yourself something as quickly as possible that lets you program in a higher level language.

Don't get me wrong, I really, really wanted to like Forth and spent a lot of time trying to learn it, but in the end it felt like it just wasn't worth it. I might give it another go if I get heavily in to programming microcontrollers where Lisp or Scheme is not an option.
