It might be interesting to see how many blunders this identifies compared with traditional analysis. (Looking at the "surprising bad move" vs "surprising good move")

In any case, very interesting work. Others have some good ideas for additional checks/considerations, and it would be interesting to see how this evolves!
This is really great work, and awesome that they're developing this as open source. Combined with the results from HyPer folks it sure is starting to look like using LLVM to specialize code on the fly is a good idea for any data processing engine.

Looking more closely at the benchmarking results has me scratching my head, though: their reported 16x performance benefits from codegen for TPCH Q1 has seemingly dropped to 2x when compared to the [REDACTED] database. What's happening?

My guess is that Impala is sort of inefficient in a few places that still need work (which is OK, this is not a criticism of that). I bet that [REDACTED] is quite efficient due to having been in development for least 2x longer than Impala. Maybe even closer to 10x. In which case, getting within 2x is fantastic!

Not sure why it bothers you. Is English your first language? This kind of thing is often difficult for non-native speakers.

Crisp is a word with a few meanings. In this context, it's a metaphor assigning physical qualities to sound. (A crisp dollar bill is smooth and without creases)
I agree with everything except that first point because legitimacy isn't the problem worth solving. Striking the right balance in governing tools and keeping interdependent systems interoperable as they mature are problems worth solving which this works toward. Arguing on grounds of legitimacy would have failed to see Wikipedia as a citable source or Facebook as an election debate host 15 years ago. So the time from no credibility to global legitimacy is at least faster than a generation can reach the age to vote.

edit- Also, keep in mind there are billions of new humans coming behind you that have no deep feelings about any of the things you think about. Good or bad. They hold none of the complexity of this world in their minds that you use to navigate now with minimal effort ("How does a bill become a law?"). Some revolutions are born from the generations that see leap frogging as an easier and better way forward than repairing the old model built for a world that doesn't exist anymore.

What is exceptionally irritating about this is that there is no valid reason for not being able to represent an empty string, and the lack of support makes the service inelegant and harder to use.

1. Empty strings are straightforward to represent.

2. Not allowing them violates the principle of least surprise, which makes the service harder to use.

3. Not supporting them adds needless complexity to client applications.

4. An empty string has obvious meaning and a place in everyday applications.

> But I think China wants to mainly increase talent retention. There are many Chinese who stay in US after finishing their studies there. China wants those educated people back.

Do you mean their Chinese talent? Because for everyone else it's practically impossible to make long-term decisions about staying in China. Your work visa will always be tied to a company and a marriage visa doesn't entitle you to work. The mythical "green card" visa for all intents and purposes doesn't exist.
There are tons of different ways to market your side project and what works for someone else may not work for you, of course.

I think it really just comes down to where your potential customers may be hanging out / searching. For my side project, I've had decent success responding to posts/questions on sites like Quora, where someone is looking for exactly what you offer. It's free too (besides for your time!).

The book Traction (https://www.amazon.com/Traction-Startup-Achieve-Explosive-Cu...) gives a pretty solid overview of different marketing methods/strategies.
On global warming Schelling has an interesting take. He claims that GW has potentially disastrous consequences to developing nations but the danger to developed nations has been exaggerated. That developed nations, in reducing emissions, will bear most of the cost while the developing world will get most of the benefits.

That seems very short sighted in a couple of ways. First the notion that people suffering from the effects of ecology destruction and the aftermath that ensues just hang around and suffer and keep the suffering contained. Secondly the notion that there's nothing to be gained by combating global warming for the entire world. More people die from the effects of pollution than the combined deaths from homicide, war, car accidents and suicide per year.

a) This isn't a fake news detector: at the moment, it seems to be little more than an overly complicated spreadsheet builder that's hosted on Github. Maybe someday it will be more.

b) The spreadsheet is just one man's opinions, and the opinions are quite frankly pretty poor. Antiwar.com is listed as a conspiracy site when it's just anti-war focused news and opinions. I'm sure they have their biases and opinions as all humans do, but you know that 100% going into a site called antiwar.com so should that qualify as fake? The only hate site is https://answersingenesis.org : maybe they're nutty creationists who are wrong about a lot of science, but hate? Really? I mean I'm willing to keep an open mind, but that doesn't seem accurate. Drudge is listed as a conspiracy site, when that's really just a news aggregator that links to anybody regardless of political bent. Lots of things like that.

c) The corporate mainstream media who posts a lot of fake news and establishment propaganda is nowhere to be found on this list. If anybody is labeled as fake news, why not the people who shilled for the Iraq War and WMDs or the people that told us that reading Wikileaks was illegal or the people who colluded with the Democratic party leadership to elect their favored candidates?
Are credit unions not "actual commercial enterprise"?
thanks for this. i don't have a 6s. either that or it thinks i've already had a battery replacement. which could be true? this is my third 6 plus.

my original's lcd screen had the touch disease, since it was just inside warranty they "replaced" it by just giving me a new phone.

the replacement died within a week. serious wtf. so i went in and got yet another one.

this one has been fine, mostly. but i'm probably not going to get a iphone for my next device. not saying no other devices do this but that touch disease should be fixed even if you're outside warranty and not be charged with the $329 it cost. my original phone was susceptible to it and only by sheer "luck" did it happen within my warranty.
Semver (or really, the concept of a single unified version number) makes it difficult to compare small versus large projects. Large projects have less information in the version number.

Let's say you have N small projects, each of which gets a major version bump once every two years. Now, combine them into a single umbrella project. If you have 24 of them and they don't coordinate, you'll end up bumping the major version once a month (on average), even though the code didn't really change any more than before.

To somewhat improve on this, you can coordinate release dates, and you get a regular major version bump, the times when it's always true that some things changed, even though most things didn't. Either way, the version bump itself doesn't tell you as much compared to having separate projects.

So here is some career advice, go be that person. You know the one who shows up early and sets up the conference equipment, be the one who publishes an agenda for their meetings and actually takes notes to send out as a recap. You will be amazed at how far the signal you are sending g will reach

Also dont make it a habit of just fixing the A/V _after_ the meeting has started, all that signals is your are a good proxy for IT help. If you know a colleague doesn't prepare show up early to help but dont continually swoop to the rescue

You are right, however, that they have had many products with not so good or even bad UX.

I just failed to remember the bad ones at the moment when I wrote my comment.

The way the author is using it to generate both AVX and non-AVX code is such a hack that I find it hard to believe it even worked. It is literally a ticking time bomb that depends on compiler's inliner heuristics to trigger. Compilers and linkers should be able to generate and optimize different code paths -- it shouldn't have to take hacking and tinkering with tools to do something. To make it sound worse, that something isn't even guaranteed to be safe even with hacky build.

Literally the only two things it takes to do this are a conditional check based on CPUID result and CodeGen support for generating multiple Arch paths. If you have those two, multi-version function is very likely to work with safety.

Edit: oh, you are the author. I hope you weren't offended. I meant none.
They already do. People paying all cash saves the seller at least three months. Sometimes the bank won't close for 8 months because of reason and then denies the application forcing the seller to start from the beginning.

People do accept all cash bids for less than asking. People know this, and there are tons of places that will pay all cash for your home right now for less. If you live in a place condo or a house, you will get letters asking to buy the house all cash.
This is why you are getting downvoted. Elsevier is hated, not loved. People see that Elsevier is locking away knowledge created by others, and aggressively working to restrict the flow of scientific knowledge.

If the Internet and the free exchange of scientific information is good and helps mankind to progress, then Elsevier represents the forces of evil working against this, retarding human progress only to maintain their ability to squeeze money out of the academic system.

Nobody is expecting Elsevier to change, but to be replaced and fade into richly deserved irrelevance.

We have some of the same problem (buyers of our software really want to be out in the kitchen), and have found a lot of leverage building a community of existing owners/managers where they can all share experiences.

So, not sure if there ks a forum for salon owners, but if there's not, that's the first thing I'd look at building. And if there is, well, there's your marketing strategy. (At least a big component of it.)

A few times yes. So far I've had good experiences. For example, when I decided I wanted to get a new leather notebook from my favorite brand [1] They had it in B&N, Amazon and the brand store themselves. I finally decided to buy it from the brand store and had no problems.

Of course, take everything I'm saying with a big grain of sand since this is all anecdotal. I've also purchased from Columbia Sportwear Store and some other brands that I do not remember right now. I guess so far I've been lucky.

A giant straw man from beginning to end. The blog post doesn't object to the existence or even dissemination of the ideas, but to the use of the university library to operate a covert recruitment campaign - an operational issue rather than the purely theoretical one you posit.

All a ban will do is give a weapon to suppress ideas...

Of course, nothing in the article mentioned a ban on any ideas or advocated for the suppression of any books. The implicit argument that unwillingness to support a particular organization equates to suppression of ideas is fallacious, and I'm inclined to think that it's wholly disingenuous on your part.

Lest there be any doubt, I have no desire whatsoever to suppress, censor, or otherwise limit the spread of 'dark enlightenment' ideas. On the other hand I feel no hesitation in pointing out that they're tightly correlated with a long-running political program whose ultimate aim is the establishment of a white ethnostate within the boundaries of the USA, and whose architects are on record as considering ethnic cleansing or straight-up genocide as acceptable strategies in the pursuit of that end.

tl;dr protecting the free speech rights of Nazis doesn't alter the fact that they're Nazis.

Wozniak would have gotten along well with C E Beeby: "The upheaval of the depression years and the rise of fascism forced him to think not only about differences in human abilities but also about the right all individuals should have to education in a democracy. In his view the education system suffered from undue centralisation and conformity and should open itself to variation, experiment and change. The abolition of the proficiency examination in 1937 held out hope for primary schooling responsive to the range of children’s abilities."

Alas, these tenets of New Zealand's public education system are being systemically demolished.

Trying to dredge up the articles; I believe that the CEO of a high-tech company was heavily investigated by the IRS after he threatened to make an NSL public.

He, I misread your statement. I actually understood the opposite of what you actually said. Never mind.

The fact that "developed nations, in reducing emissions, will bear most of the cost while the developing world will get most of the benefits" does not mean it's not a good idea to reduce emissions, it means that an agreement between the two is unlikely to happen. It is an empirical claim, not a normative claim.

Basic principle of western blot
The basic principle of western blot are protein electrophoresis and ELISA. Electrophoresis is a commonly used method for separating proteins on the basis of size, shape or charge. Proteins are large molecules with charge, they can migrate in the polyacrylamide gels under electric field. The migrating speed depends on the molecular weight of proteins: heavy proteins move slower than light proteins. This is just like the runners running through a jungle, the polyacrylamide molecule in the gel is like the branches along the sideline, which could slow the runner down. The bulky runner would be affected more by the “branches” than the small runner so that they runs slower.
Steam and other binary-only software wouldn't work, but for developers and alike, this would be a non-issue.

Of all the messaging apps, Signal is probably the most secure.

They're just being realistical about it. If a nation-state is targeting you, relying on a particular app, no matter how secure, isn't enough and they don't want to make false promises.
If I have to supervise, there is no point. Having a human intervene in what should be 100% automated is putting my life and others at risk. Look at road death statistics: the vast bulk of incidents are are caused by humans sucking at driving - why should anyone want to continue doing that ?

It's authorized by law.

They don't look into such things randomly. They have some notion, say a report from someone, and examine the speech. A typical example might be some kid reporting "terrorist speech" in a public forum. So some officer somewhere takes a look, finds nothing illegal, and that's the end of things. That is an "investigation" of 1st-amendment speech because the officer is reading and investigating legal speech, but the purpose of the investigation was non-protected terror speech, or child porn, or threats, or any number of categories of illegal speech. It's not proper to turn around and call those investigations illlegal simply because they didn't find anything. That would only encourage officers to find things, to make mountains out of molehills, to justify their investigation.

Yes. Praise can be more damaging than criticism in many cases.[1][2] Certain types of praise in the form of encouragement can be very good things. Certain types of constructive criticism can be empowering.

> a little pain and suffering makes you stronger

What is "stronger"? More emotionally resilient? In my opinion, suffering just results in risk aversion. There is not a lot of positive that emerges from it. Note that I'm not referring to establishing boundaries, which may be what you're referring to with your daughter.
