Marriage doesn't inevitably end (other than by death of a partner, which this isn't referring to); less than half of first marriages, in fact, do.
TV is one of worst forms of media out there. It is practically the definition of mind control and although there are multiple channels, there is a strange sense of groupthink.

This is similar to the Murray Gell-Mann amnesia effect, where famed quark discoverer Murray Gell-Mann opens the newspaper and reads a physics article. He is disgusted at the lack of research, the blatant misinformation, and random theories disguised as respectable reporting. Then he flips to another section - like politics or war - and reads it as if it was somehow more accurate than the nonsense he just read.

Surprisingly - as stated by others - memory is crucial to math and problem solving. Most problem solving is just memory on a higher domain anyway. Break down a problem with first principles (hard part), and solve with a mental model gained from memory.

Euler - probably the greatest mathematician of all time - had an amazing memory. He memorized the entire Aeneid and could recite any line at will.

Probably not. But if I give it as an example because I once had to do it for real I'm out? That's a very fine line to draw. I agree something specific to an employer could be an issue, but there are plenty of problems no employer may uniquely claim.
Yeah, really naive. Ditto with their iadd commands, which pop twice (you need only pop once). I see this a lot - presumably because most people just aren't familiar with stack machines, as register machines are completely dominant in hardware.

The media is shocked even after all newspapers and TV backed a single candidate, she lost. I speculate internally they blame alternative media, so now they run a campaign against 'fake news'. Of course it couldn't just have been the fact that most states and rural counties did not like Clinton much at all - the media's headquarters are all located in big cities so they were all blind. They are now blaming and accusing 'fake news' instead of taking a good look at themselves.

It definitely is frightening at times. And frustrating at all other times too. I remember when news articles reported all the known facts up front, or they would do some research to post base facts. Talking about air accidents above, I remember when the first lines of a news article would contain the location, info on the airline as well as the aircraft type, departure and destination information etc.

But it appears that these days, the rush to post something that will get clicked on bypasses all the actual information that people might want to know.

Take the recent tragic crash in South America that wiped out a whole football team. When I heard about the scale of the accident, one of my first questions (as a former pilot, and knowing the carrying capacity and safety reputation of most aircraft) was "I wonder what aircraft model it was?".

I read through 3 articles on common news sites which didn't state this information at all. Two of them didn't even have the airline or carrier name published in their story. I ended up resorting to a pilot discussion forum, where I found out the information I wanted.
I see, already falling for it..

Treating the whole thing as one FS is the current architecture GitLab uses, so is more of an existing constraint than a proposed architecture.

their commercialization subsequently funded by private investors.
I'm really curious to know how you promote and get traffic to a site like that. I've seen a couple and I've been working on my own, but I've never known how they get discovered.
You made two generalizations in particular:

The culture here is to never raise your voice or get mad in public

This stereotype also exists about Cambodia, the country I've lived in for 4 years now. I can tell you that it isn't true about either Cambodia or Vietnam, since I've seen plenty of people in both countries get mad and raise their voices in public. The same happens of course back where I'm from in the US, and if I had to guess it happens at about the same frequency but I wouldn't rely on faulty human memory to make that judgment.

Viet are shy and have poor personal communication

This is just a ridiculous thing to say if you've never spoken to these people in their native language. I have actually gone through the arduous process of learning the language in Cambodia, and I can assure you that speaking in a foreign language clumsily and constantly being worried about your inability to express yourself will make you more shy than you are in your native language. And I have to mention that famous park in Saigon where foreigners are literally swarmed by Vietnamese people eager to practice their English... is that shyness? I never talked to so many strangers in my life as the couple of nights that I sat out there.

And actually, please do not think I'm vilifying you or calling you a racist or anything. I can tell from your post that you're a nice person, whereas in both Cambodia and Vietnam there are an outsized number of expats who are just straight-up mean, bitter, and racist. These people unfortunately end up influencing the perceptions that new expats have.

I'm only encouraging you to come in with more of a blank slate, and to not delude yourself into thinking that you can know anything about the culture after 1.5 months. I'll be more willing to hear out generalizations after you've been there for years, learned the language, and traveled all around the country. Have you even been outside Saigon yet? I've been to Saigon, and it's not representative of the rest of Vietnam.
Both sides is not a marketing trick. And comparing this with weather forecasts is a false equivalence.
there's going to come a point where the size of the instruction outweighs any performance benefits

Except for the fact that many of these new instructions perform some huge nontrivial operation in hardware that would've required hundreds or more regular instructions previously --- AES is a good example. It seems like a general principle that instruction sets tend to become more CISC-y over time, as dedicated hardware and instructions designed to operate on such replace slower software implementations.

"showed, to a high degree of certainty, that Trump campaign staffers were working with Russian disinformation operatives."

Can you show me what warrants a high degree of certainty for that claim? Because as far as I know there is no evidence for this beyond the tenuous circumstantial nature of Clinton's dirty laundry helping Trump, and a Trump presidency is less likely to start a war with Russia.

b = foo.bar
b()

correctly invokes the bar method of the foo object. In JavaScript, you have to write

let b = foo.bar.bind(foo)

because foo.bar gives you a function (not a method) that doesn't remember which object it came from.

Some Forths compile to native machine instructions and no VM is involved. Sometimes they compile a list of threaded jump addresses with an "interpreter" that's basically just two instructions: JSR [nextaddress++]; LOOP. Sometimes they just compile literal sequences of JSR instructions and there's no interpreter at all.
Us at the DOE are freaking out about the questionnaire Trump sent out, hinting at 10% off-the-bat cuts (to all accounts other than 050, aka Defense), ARPA-E dissolution, political retribution to anyone related to climate science, Rick Perry rumors, etc... We've been running in continuing resolutions so long we've effectively been losing funding at the rate of 2%/year (to be fair, this isn't exclusive to us)

Even with all this money from billionaires, most climate research makes extremely heavy use of DOE facilities, namely light sources, and works best with the close development loop.

So far, these circumstances seem specific to the DOE, so that's at least a little bit comforting. NSF is somewhat insulated from the standpoint that NSF directors are appointed every 6 years and the current one will get through most of Trump's term. No clue about the NIH. NASA is similarly not in as dire of a situation from the looks of it.

That's interesting. You could serve the delivery system from the same domain with a proxy or CNAME or something, but that would actually be less secure. Moving them onto the main domain means they'd have access to its cookies/localStorage/cross-origin policy. Today, they don't.

There may be a middle ground--using a separate, unique domain (i.e., nytimes-adserver.com). I'm trying to think through the side effects, what breaks, etc.

I believe that was the intent all along.

Blocking the bad ones and blessing the good ones are two sides of the same coin. We seem to think as long as government isn't doing it, it's not "censorship" and no problem. But we learn that time and time again, various governments major tech firms are actively working together.

This was the 1700s. People were living on subsistence farming. If you weren't a landowner in England, you starved, and it wasn't like in 2016 where there's realistic talk of UBI based on automation, I mean it was like over a hundred years before Marx, and long before the industrial revolution.

And it's not like the "wealthy" were so terribly wealthy that they could just take "free" people to America.

And it's also not like the wealthy had nice 1890's first class ship rides.

The times were terrible, and the choices were terrible.
But prisons have very little control over prison numbers, whether to send someone to prison is decided solely by the courts with no influence from the prison system.
Honesty yes. The news can affect peoples perception of other places to detriment. For example, often my friends or family who live in a other countries ask me about how bad crime is where I live, or how people are struggling with the economy etc. I mean, of course thats all they see, from my perspective everything looks pretty balanced out, yes I'll hear about something bad from time to time, but it's really not as bad as the sensationalism and extremist statistics they get from the news. So yes, the less news the better, if its that important you'll hear about it.
While we're at it,

> which Gates and his fellow investors describe as a market failure that large-scale, long-term private investments can address.
I don't follow the reasoning. Tracking the stack depth to convert into the equivalent of Pike and Winterbottom's VM registers takes at most one instruction at JIT time per stack-VM instruction (to increment or decrement the depth). If you want distinguish different types at the same stack offset, that might be one more instruction. Pike and Winterbottom seem to be saying their VM has an infinite number of registers, so the frontend is simple, and then the JIT backend has a choice of how hard to work at register allocation. But the same goes for a stack machine, with a very small overhead at JIT time, nothing like the expense of HotSpot.

The argument that does make sense to me is, if you want a somewhat faster interpreter at some expense in code size, then a register VM wins. (Perhaps by not as much as commonly thought, because of some optimizations like stack caching and superinstructions: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/vmgen/ But it does seem to win still.) This has the disadvantage of having to having to implement spilling or some other such complication in the frontend when the number of virtual registers needed exceeds 256 or whatever.
I have a 16:9 Ultrasharp from the previous year, I believe it is the U2414h, but I could be mistaken. I was a little skeptical at first, because Ultrasharps are pretty expensive if you are used to buying the cheapest monitor that meets your criteria. Subjectively though, this monitor is amazing. The best thing I can say about it is that I almost regret buying it, as every other monitor looks terrible when placed next to it. Otherwise, I could look at the monitor all day without really thinking about it. It's like a really nice tool, in the sense that you almost forget you are using it because it does it's job so well.

For those of you unfamiliar with Dell monitors, the first letter is the model range. U is Ultrasharp, which generally are IPS displays and come from the factory with a certificate indicating the display has been calibrated, as well as stands with tilt, swivel, rotation and height adjustment. P is professional, which are generally very similar to the Ultrasharp displays, but without the exacting calibration, and the stands generally only have adjustable tilt and height. E (I think) is the third type, which is the kind of monitor you might get with your average computer. The stand generally only tilts.

The first two numbers following the letter indicate the size of the monitor, and the last two numbers indicate the year the monitor was released. I believe trailing letters are used when disambiguation is needed. So a U2414h is a 24" monitor released in 2014, and the h indicates it's the 1080p model rather than the 1200p model. The U2415 was released the following year.
