> But to not broach the question at all for the sake of avoiding the volume of dialogue it might produce seems kinda odd, imo.

Yeah, I guess you're right, maybe I was a bit overcautious there. Nonetheless, I do think that it is better to ask specific questions rather than the blanket "what's the best X?" Note that this is not limited to text editors - there are very few domains in life where a "best" anything is to be found. Asking specific, non-emotionalized questions ("What is a good X under condition Y?") is more likely to lead to constructive answers.
and most of the world has moved away from the barbarous ways of the past. Do you find it acceptable to tolerate that kind of behavior these days? Because I have news for you. It won't end well if we tolerate their intolerances, violence, and backward religious culture of oppression.

There are a couple attempts made by other people to get this implemented:

- https://github.com/fsfod/LuaJIT/commits/gcarena
- https://github.com/corsix/LuaJIT/commits/newgc

I'm not sure what the status is on either, though; they're obviously completely different implementations so it's not clear which one of these is preferable (also both authors seem to be busy with other stuff recently).
> we just love our families and spending time with them.

I doubt love is a large factor here, it is definitely a cultural thing.

Many of my friends still live near their families and love spending time with them, but you are viewed as a failure in society if you cannot survive on your own. If living at home with your parents wasnt such a bad stigma in cultures I'm sure more people would do it as they also love their families and it makes economic sense.

Also most people leave their families when they go to college, often not in the same town the grew up in, then take a job likely not in either town they grew up or studied in making it very difficult to live with your parents even if you wanted to ignore the stigma of it
I'm working on a project right now and using ui-leaflet for Angular, which sadly is getting pretty stale. I suppose it's not a huge surprise for an Angular 1 project, but it's still worth checking out if you use Angular and Leaflet.

RISC-V vs. MIPS?
Hi,

I am designing a RISC-V pipelined processor but am struggling to see the differences in hardware between a RISC-V ISA and a MIPS one. Obviously the instructions will be different but apart from that, I don't know what I need to change to ensure that my design isn't just a copy of the MIPS design from Patterson & Hennessy's "Computer Organization and Design". Any help would be appreciated, thanks,
The idea that there are objects that are not economic is nonsense.

Even things with direct utility like food have weird economic values, not objective values tied only to their utility.
I certainly agree but there's only as many people of Muslim ancestry that do actively identify as Muslim, want a reform of Islamic thought and are able to safely speak out. Kurds are certainly Muslim, but you don't really see them ascribing their differing values to Islam too much [0]. Seems to stem from their ethnic identity.

The best we can do is, I think, strongly incentivizing all the reformers. The vast majority of them today are in a sleazy situation. You complain to your compatriots - they'll lash out on you. You complain to the West - they'll ignore you. You complain to the Western right-wing[1] - they'll listen but use it to rationalize more hate.

[0] and if they are at heart, then that's definitely not the message that's being broadcasted to the world

Sure, but minute-by-minute is not needed.
If you look at the last graph on the page, the one after "The pattern was especially clear on certain days, like September 1. You can easily see that interference incidents happened during or around the time belts when PV46 was in service." it is the most simple data, drawing points (the incidents) over a service timetable.
These data (when the single train was in service or not) must have been available.
I believe that the tricky part was the "delay" between the PV46 passing and (some time later) the "wrong braking" of another train.
Lots of stuff, starting with nicer projections. http://openlayers.org/en/latest/examples/

But if Leaflet does what you need, just use it.
I definitely agree that there should be as little discrimination as possible, but I don't think it has to be an anything goes mentality. I don't subscribe to"if it's legal, a company should do it." There are a lot of things a company can do within the bounds of the law that people find morally reprehensible.

In the article, the NYT is making an argument to say that this business behavior is morally reprehensible. Not that it should be illegal or not allowed. It's up to the individuals reading the articles to take any action, if they feel it's necessary. For instance, not using that company for their services.
I'm paying about $0.20 per Bitcoin transaction so the breakeven transaction value with a flat 3% credit card interchange is just $6.67.
I don't quite see the advantage. If you update a stack it will only do the minimal required changes. So if you have an EC2 instance and a security group defined in one stack and you update the security group the EC2 instance won't be affected, it's not like it would be shut down and an identical one would be spun up.

What does breaking it up like that give you?

Last time I did this, I found that the downloadable list ran behind reality. That was 2007, maybe it's updated more quickly these days.
I think Leonard Susskind touched this point in one of the theoretical minimum lectures [1] but I really can not tell which one. While we can quite easily imagine adding and removing space dimensions, nobody ever figured out what it would mean to have more than one time dimension.

I think he also talked about time traveling in this context - you can go back and forth in space because there is more than one space dimension and so you can turn around and walk the other direction. Unless you instantaneously flip around that is nothing you can do with just one dimension like our one time dimension.

But those things aside, the order of spatially separated events is not in general well defined if you take general relativity into account. There is a causal ordering all observers agree on but that still allows some observers to see some events in one order or another.

I skimmed the papers linked in the article but they are quite a bit above what I can immediately grasp. But one thing I noticed was that they talked a lot about observable changes, so now I am wondering whether the entire system they are talking about is really static or whether we are just unable to observe the evolution of the entire system?

If it is really static like the block universe, then I have not the slightest idea of how two subsystems can experience time if you think of one as a clock and the other as an observer watching the clock. In case of the block universe I can totally understand how everything is deterministic and all times exist in parallel, but I never understood what mechanism picks out the slice that is my or your now.

> Businesses complaining about greedy Americans being overly litigious may want to look in a mirror.

Sure, but it goes both ways.

On one hand, companies are overly litigious for reasons described in the post. I've been frustrated at least once that I couldn't be part of a class action suit because there wasn't a recall for a design flaw costing me thousands; I knew however that a class action suit probably would've resulting in a small check at most.

On the other hand, there are law firms that advertise on television to get people to claim malpractice, etc. and "get money." And there are patent trolls that are purely exploiting.

I think it's fair to say there is a lot that could be done for reform.
> I'm curious about why set working hours are a problem. Would you mind going into more detail about that?

No problem. It's all about the variability of one's condition and disability, let's for instance take somebody who suffers from chronic pain, is quadriplegic, may or may not have one or 2 pressure sores on their body and may or may not be taking huge quantities of memory hindering and/or altering painkillers and other pharmaceuticals. Given all those variables, there is no way to say that I will on Monday morning not be in any pain, be able to get out of bed, and be able to focus sufficiently to do the job you've asked me to do.

Now if you tell me that I've got to accomplish 30 hours over the course of a week then that's much easier, because by Monday afternoon my head might have cleared and the pain levels have subsided somewhat so I can get on with 5 or 6 hours work.

That for me is the nub of the problem.

If I remember correctly, hint books were sold (or included with?) alongside all of these games and if you were a fan of text adventures, you purchased them all.

I remember a few of them with a tiny red filter you had to lay on top of the book to see the text behind it. These were the days where games came in full sized boxes with plenty of cool additions.

Is there any statistics about the performance of jury trial?

I am from Europe and to be honest I don't have much experience with US legal system. But what I watch from news and stuff, it is a utility to force people, out of court settlements or guilty pleas. What I see is going on a jury trial is a probabilistic decision. You would most likely settle out of court for your Expected Value at jury trial.

I strongly feel this should not be what justice should be.
As the author of this patch, and someone that's followed the dumping problem as well on the list, and someone that follows emacs development I would say that...no, this is not a portable solution to the problem that would be accepted.

libjit does offer the ability to compile the code to a static vector that can be written to disk but that would then put machine specific code in the output .elc files making them unportable.

Also, at this state with the JIT it's not possible yet to fully compile all of the emacs bytecode; there are still some lurking bugs that need to be squashed that I'll (or someone else) hopefully have time to look into in the future to get this to 100%.
As someone who got into a regular exercise habit a year ago that has progressively gotten more intense, I disagree with a few of your points.

Actually, I guess it's mostly the first 3:

> 1. Build a routine. Set a specific, repeating time when you will do the thing in your calendar. Keep that slot clear, ALWAYS. Never let something interrupt this task.

> 2. Learn to say no. If someone wants you to do something else during this time slot, say no, and tell them why.

> 3. Never break the routine. Breaking it once makes it MUCH easier to break the next scheduled time. If you do break it, feel bad about it and get back on the horse IMMEDIATELY.

It's this "do it now or feel guilty" stuff that keeps most people procrastinating or avoiding doing the task. I remember initially I would have it set in my mind that I needed to go to the gym at 10 a.m. the next day. If I woke up a bit late or was wasting time on reddit and 10 a.m. looked unrealistic, I started feeling really guilty. "Oh no, if I don't go now, I'll never go!" It put a lot of stupid, unnecessary pressure on the situation. And it didn't really have the desired effect -- I'd usually not go, since I had already blown it by missing my 10 a.m. deadline, after all!

Now, I might wake up and plan on going at 10, but I know that I 1) absolutely do plan on going and 2) can go at 11, or 12, or 1, or 2, etc. There's no need to make the task worse by associating a lot of negative pressure and guilt with it.

> One thing at a time. [...] Leave time in your schedule for play.

Totally. Especially if it's an area where the amount of information out there can be overwhelming (a la fitness / weightlifting). I started out going with a few exercises I enjoyed in mind and simply did them until I felt tired. I didn't worry about making a program, writing down my workouts, obsessing about nutrition, or obsessing about how many days or which days I did what.

Over time, things started getting easier and I began incorporating more of this stuff as I started feeling comfortable. But the initial phase where I made the habit something I actually enjoyed was crucial. Even now, when I occasionally find myself feeling like I've slipped too much back into treating it like a job, I take a day to not keep track of anything and try some new exercises that I think might feel good.

Edit: Also super useful:

> If you can find someone who will hold you accountable, do it. Someone who does the routine with you, or a coach who will call you out if you make excuses.

For me it was my roommate. I'd go with him the first couple of months. After a while I felt comfortable enough to go by myself and do my own thing, but that initial time where I would use the slight social pressure of him going and asking me if I wanted to go to keep myself in check.

Animal agriculture is also a huge contributor to the global climate change problem. Again, basically swept under the rug.

My suspicion is that many powerful people feel (rightly or wrongly) that the subject of enforcing diet is simply too untenable for them to take up without all hell breaking loose. (What do you mean I can't eat my meat!?) ...And that's not to mention all the "standard issues" clouding their judgment and priorities.

But is their proposal that, like Minecraft, we can detect properties of the background execution through apparent non-determinism (or other mechanism)?

Cause Minecraft actually has two detectable, distinct notions of time: a game tick and update ordering of the underlying computation.

Minecraft can even be viewed as having quantum effects caused by a universal nonlocal variable, Bohmian mechanics styles, with the apparent non-determinism resulting from that non-local hidden variable interacting woth the update engine. (The hidden variable is the ordering of the updates in real time rather than MC time.)

I always thought we should teach physics with Minecraft, but the engine sucks too much for me to seriously recommend it.

Ed:

The banks are an attractive target because they are large household names with high profile offices in the cities. So much more convenient for protesting than actually going to Borneo to hit the real perpetrators.

The logical conclusion to this kind of targeting of banks that have a huge number of uncontroversial clients, and a handful of controversial (but legal) clients is that they will start turning away the business to protect their reputation, and someone else will set up a bank that specializes in shady clients, has an obscure and often changing name, anonymous offices, and generally doesn't care about its reputation.

Would that be better? Obviously not, but it's effectively what activists are ask for.
I think the way I would phrase the advice is; If you are inspired or challenged by the "big" problems keep an eye on them but work on other things that are not directly or obviously related but may be related. What Tao warns against is a direct assault on a big problem or theory as a career path or plan. Like expeditions up Mt. Everest, that path is littered with attempts that reached an impenetrable barrier and had to retreat or perish on the mountain. If you think you've solved a big problem then your method should also explain the failure of all the prior assaults to be credible.

Also relevant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=We760YM5-iM

That said, don't give up on your dream of solving big problems, someone has to do it and like Mt. Everest, every field has its Ark of the Convenant or Holy Grail that challenges and inspires its members. If you are a genius all bets are off and don't listen to me or Tao ;-)
The only interesting thing in this is their recommendations (which perhaps are similar/identical to those of other companies; I didn't dig around on the gov web site).

They remind me of FDA drug testing regulations (Section 505 of Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act if you care): what you actually ask for is a waiver of the law against prosecution for administering an unlicensed drug, saying, "if I make compound X using process Y and then give it to a specific subset of people using protocol Z then please don't prosecute me as I think this will not be an undue risk due to A, B and C"

Not a bad model to use.

It's funny because there are some easy changes governments could make which aren't even in telling people what to do.

We literally give billions to animal ag industries in subsidies, we could just stop that. Take it a step further and use that money to actually fund alternatives so they're substantially cheaper for the public. The fact that almond/coconut milk is more expensive than cow milk speaks volumes about how the system is set up.

Another step, which the FDA almost did this year, is advise people to eat less animals because it's awful for the environment. In general just making the message more visible would help.

The last one is kind of telling people what to do, but the FDA already does that anyway so it's not too much of a change.

Leaflet is an amazingly powerful tool. As others have mentioned, it makes it easy to use a variety of sources for the underlying map tiles; in my case I was able to replace the modern-day base map with a map of the Roman Empire for an interactive academic publication[1].

Another great feature that doesn't get as much attention is Leaflet's ability to handle non-geographic images. In the same publication I'm also using it as a general-purpose deep zoom viewer for displaying artifacts[2]. It's great to just use a single library to handle all of this.

Kudos to the Leaflet developers for continuing to improve such a great library!
