> Is encouraging emotional manipulation really what we want for the younger generations?

You are fully correct. We don't want that.

But, then, is there an alternative? My first girlfriend, she was 12 and I, 14, I
regarded as an angel. She was and
remains the prettiest human female
I ever saw, in person or otherwise.
She was burned into my brain: For the rest of my life I will no more be able to
forget her than I will be able to forget
my own name.

My goal with her was for us to be early teen boyfriend-girlfriend, with some
protection against being lonely, some
additional affection and compassion, one
more person who really cared about us,
some romance, security of knowing
that our relationship was going to
continue, hold hands, hug, and kiss,
with nothing wrong and nothing
dangerous.

I never tried to manipulate her
emotionally, but there were a few
times when she got emotional
anyway; those times, I declined
to take advantage of her; i
guessed that a day later she or
her mother would be angry. No way
did I want her hurt, in any way, from
any source, for any reason, at any
time, and I was ready to risk my
life to protect her from being hurt.

So, in reality, what I actually did
was what you want teen boys to do.

My remark, the one you didn't like,
was partly a joke, but there is
a germ of inconvenient truth
there -- it can appear that too
often there is such manipulation,
taking advantage, or overpowering
emotions or nothing at all. Or, maybe
it's as in the Strauss music or
too often just doesn't happen.

Maybe the larger lesson to teen boys
is, really love the girl, no way hurt
her, seek to protect and care for her, but realize what an expert
once told me, "Of COURSE, women
are MUCH more emotional than
men. That is the cause of all the
problems." So, net, maybe,
the boy should try
to let her be as emotional as she
wants but stay rational and prudent
himself and do his best
to let her have, help her have
her emotions
with full safety.

Usually it appears that
not many people in our society
are quite as sensitive to
protecting girls,
emotionally or even physically,
as you are, or
I was with that girl I loved,
but I can partly agree with
your point.

But I will say, there is evidence
that some girls very much
seek some of various possible
forms of emotional experiences
and will resent a boy who
does not so contribute and
respect a boy who does.

Ah, someday I'll write a book, Girls 101 for Dummies -- Boys.

The Strauss music was about all of
life, and I was just mentioning
the part where the two
fell in love! I was mentioning the
Strauss music as a grand example
of formula fiction, and that is
one of the pillars of the news business which the OP was talking about.

Just keep on going without sugar after December. See the December candy as a treat for being off sugar for a while. :)

I didn't eat - stuff with added - sugar for about a year a few years back. Was pretty nazi on it, didn't just cut down a little bit. I read all the labels and didn't even buy bread with added sugar or syrup etc. Lost 30 kgs. Never felt so good.

Sugar is poison, really should eat it. The best thing is that everything start tasting much better after cutting off sugar. It's amazing. Salt taste more, vegetables taste more. And if you're having a bad urge to eat something sweet, just drink water.

In Germany we have the term "Zeitsouveränität" which means time sovereignty.

That term originally appeared to describe workplace conditions and biography.

However, nowadays it is mostly used to describe media consumption. You decide when to listen to news or watch a certain show, the same way you decide when you read the next chapter of a novel.

All of the algae companies as well.. Like I mentioned elsewhere, I was a part of a biofuels company in the Bay Area that eventually went belly up.

KiOR cost Vinod Khosla tens of millions and was extremely embarrassing as the company was sued by the SEC for fraud, the total loss was something like $650M. Craig Ventor doesn't even mention Synthetic Genomics any more, total loss there was close to $100M. Solazyme IPOed a few years back, has since lost 90% of their stock's value and have an accumulated deficit approaching $700M. Aurora Algae lost $150M and went out of business. Algenol has spent about the same without any revenues of note. Sapphire raised something like $350M, including $100M from the DOE for biofuels but have slowed operations significantly and are now focusing on fish oil. LS9 raised $81M and was eventually sold for $40M. Amyris went public awhile back as well and has since lost over 95% of their market cap. Their accumulated deficits are well over a billion dollars now.

If I had to guess, I'd say in the biofuels space, about $3-$4 billion has been set on fire in the past decade.

Sure. But we are talking about a system that already is in a sandbox, and that already has a limited API surface.

If that doesn't work then we are all screwed anyway. I don't see it as a reason for not pursuing the idea of further shrinking the sandbox. A smaller language and smaller sandbox should theoretically be easier to validate than large langage running in a large sandbox.

I didn't know that site and just had a look at it. I found that really disappointing! All "news" for today are about Trump and nothing else:

Sunday, December 11

- Trump Honeymoon Begins: Confidence in Economy Booming | Cohen & Thomas, NYT
- Why "Trump Boom" Is a Real Possibility | Kenneth Rogoff, Project Syndicate
- Here's How to Drain the Swamp | Sen. Cruz & Rep. DeSantis, Washington Post
- Forget Populism--Trump's Picking Orthodox Republicans | Doyle McManus, LA Times
- How the Democratic Party Lost Its Way | Thomas Mills, Politico

- Donald Trump and the Art of Getting It Done | Monica Crowley, Washington Times

So you have a single event, the outcome of the US elections. The dust hasn't settled yet. Nobody knows anything about what the new president will do. He hasn't done anything yet. And of course he didn't, he is still in his first days. So up to now there is absolutely no information, nothing. Yet, lots of articles talking about that. Taking about, essentially, nothing.

This is "news" without information. The worst kind of news. "Information" would mean: Choose a different topic where you can actually write something informative about.

HPC guy here; Nope, we don't bother recompiling the kernel for every piece of hardware we have. HPC code tends to run 99.99% in user space, kernel performance doesn't matter that much.

End user applications, that's another matter, and here using all the latest vector instructions etc. can make a difference. Usually less so than what one might hope, though. The really big deal tends to be using optimized libraries such as OpenBLAS, FFTW, MKL instead of doing numerical linear algebra yourself in a naive fashion, or using the reference netlib BLAS.

Another very common problem we see is poor application I/O patterns. Yes, every HPC site loves to brag how many GB/s their Lustre system does, but if you divide that by the number of CPU cores in a cluster, that ratio is quite low. Additionally, like other clustered file systems, Lustre metadata performance is relatively poor, so applications banging on lots of small files can easily tank the performance of the entire Lustre system.

Well, fstransform can reformat filesystems in place, so theoretically it might be possible (it cleverly uses sparse files for this). Not with the filesystems mounted though, so the update should be applied at reboot and it potentially takes a long time. Also very risky, especially with a near full drive.
I'll elaborate (and take advantage of the fact I'm not the original poster). Britain currently thinks it wants trade, but doesn't really understand what modern trade looks like. This is evident both from talking to people in my street and from reading the latest pronouncements of Brexit ministers. A couple of things that they all seem to be missing:

1. Non-tariff barriers are much more onerous than tariff barriers.
2. If poorer country A enters into a deal that gives richer country B jobs, there's a good chance they might want access to those jobs.
3. Britain principally trading with Canada and Australia is a recipe for ruin.
4. A great deal of the UK's attractiveness to non-EU countries is its membership of the EU.

3, especially, sounds like I'm straw-manning. I'm not.

I should add there are Leavers who appear to get these issues. One is Phil Hammond, but it's unclear he'll win and

5. The EU can walk away from any deal at any time and probably will if we don't offer them something good on their terms.
The stack machine may be conceptually simple, but here's the thing:

Either you have a way to address an offset into the stack, or you don't. If you do, the stack is conceptually equivalent to a register file where you can optionally swap out the entire content in one go (by changing the stack pointer).

If you don't, then registers will in most designs offer you a strict superset of operations: I've yet to see any register-based machines where you can't load things into registers, do the operation and push them back on the stack. In fact, on most machines that are not purist RISC designs, you will tend to be able to do many/most operations with one of the operands in memory.

That superset comes at a complexity cost in some areas, sure, but being able to address more different data items without having to manipulate the stack also turns out to be very handy. If it wasn't, we'd just stick to mostly manipulating the stack even in register-based designs.

EDIT: In fact, you'll often see "naive" first code generators for register-based machines heavily rely on stack manipulation for expression evaluation because it massively reduces the need for register allocation complexity.

I had a wireless Logitech mouse that had a failing scroll wheel. It was probably somewhat out of warranty but I did not use it much during the time I owned it, so I tried calling Logitech. After initially stating that they would replace it, they simply stopped responding to my support ticket. That's the last Logitech product I've ever bought.

> 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.

While I support science funding, this is a good time to remind people that politicized science is fat from exclusive to the right[0] (excellent article, don't just skim). A recent example is this paper [1]funded by a $400k NSF grant which tried to "analyze how power, domination, colonialism, and control—undergirded by and coincident with masculinist ideologies—have shaped glacier-related sciences and knowledges over time".

Also, for those reading about the "Trump questionnaire" who might not have heard it elsewhere, here is the NYT story about this[2], which much more comprehensive and slightly more balanced than the parent makes it out to be.

Among other things, it hints towards "significant shifts of the agency [DOE] towards nuclear power", and a "push to commercialize the research of the Energy Department's laboratories, long considered the crown jewels of federal science."

BTW, the downsizing of federal departments has been planned by Trump for a long time, and brought up by him during the campaign, when he said several months ago that he wants to reduce the federal workforce and institute "hiring freeze on all federal employees to reduce the federal workforce through attrition (exempting military, public safety, and public health)". This was in his "Contract With The America Voter", and is nothing to be surprised about.

Most important line in the article, in my opinion:

> Their selections exploit our negativity bias.

Which is true of a whole heck of a lot more than just mainstream news. Some people go overboard and try to get rid of all negative influences in their lives, but that's just going from one extreme to another.

A lot of social media is negative - because controversy inspires discussion, discussion means engagement, engagement means value.

There's too much focus in online engagement in the form of controversy and I'm of the opinion that it is a very bad thing. There's all kinds of room for innovation and disruption in the form of solutions that create healthier online engagement.
It's non-fossil because it isn't made from dead organic matter.
Speaking as an independent IT consultant: Listening and trying to truly understand the problems they have (at least I try to do that as much as possible). Then solving those problems in perhaps unexpected ways. It might sound a bit trite but from my experience business software development often tends to get stuck in a rut and less than optimal or even harmful practices are perpetuated because "it's always been done this way". Cargo cult is an eminent problem in business IT processes that goes unchallenged far too often.

Effective knowledge transfer is another aspect. Not just coding up a solution but teaching others how to solve specific problems by themselves is highly valuable.

>I don't really have any stock in whether the perception is a reality or not, so I'm willing to be persuaded. Hopefully in the next iteration the MBP will have at least 32GB RAM,

The people lamenting the missing option for 32GB RAM as devastating for pros, never had it in the first place, as the previous generation didn't support 32GB either (and yet, they still worked just fine).

Second, the limitation to 16GB is from Intel, not Apple. Intel didn't have 32GB compatible modules with low energy consumption ready -- and without those, Apple using the energy sucking 32GB option would reduce battery life 20% or more.

Not to mention that the overwhelming majority of PC laptops developers buy don't have 32GB at this point in time either, including the most famous models (XPS etc).

I caught my Macro professor doing this and it works wonders. It really encourages people to ask questions, even if they might think they are inane. He always started with a ~sincere~ "X, that is a really good question." It makes everyone feel really welcomed to give their input no matter how small. Even though it might not be "sincere" at all it still feel like it is. How would you feel if you asked a question in class and the professor said: "That's actually a really stupid question but I'll answer it anyway."

Good job.
I have a very bad memory and I am convinced that was the reason I was good in mathematics. IMHO there is very few to rote memorize. When you learn demonstrations, there are so many links with definitions that you eventually know all definitions by heart. When you are asked to prove a theorem, no teacher will complain if your (correct) demonstration is not the one that was given by the teacher.

I do not know how mathematics is teached in anglosaxon countries, but for me (in France), rote memorization of definitions is the consequence of practicing demonstrations, not a first step.

The article fails to address the fundamental question: What is the purpose of the title? Without answering that, any definition of what makes a senior developer is meaningless.

In my own experience, having worked in consulting, the answer to the question is that the title enables the company to charge a higher hourly rate for a particular developer, with the client's understanding that this developer's time will be worth more, because she is more experienced. If the client insists that a project should include a certain number of "senior developers", and if the consultancy is short that amount, then magically the most experienced junior developers will find the title bestowed upon them.

Outside of consulting, I have a hard time seeing any legitimate purpose to the title, unless it is formally attached to a bump in salary.
I have found it to be often nothing more than just a title unfortunately. So many developers I work with have the 'senior' title but struggle to do actual development, often spending most of their time talking or 'pair programming' which has completely put me off the concept as they hide behind others helping them all the time but claim they are 'senior' purely because the hiring manager filled that gap. Pathetic.

What's NVIDIA's secret sauce? Being able to build great silicon.

NVidia's defining characteristic has been designing good drivers.

Even when they've been behind ATI/AMD in hardware, they've been ahead in driver stability and performance. Especially on Linux where they largely own the CG/post/design market (which mostly uses Linux workstations) and they are the only GPU vendor that has somehow squeezed Windows-competitive performance out of Xorg.
