FORTH variation #1,000,001: I took John Walkers' AtLast as a core, and extended it in several directions, some I believe quite significant. My use case for FORTH has been as a live debugger that lets me interact with a running Real Time system, an environment where breakpoints are not very useful (except in crashes) because they only allow for post-mortem examination, but a RT system needs to be watched while it is runnung to more quickly discern pathologies.

Extensions that saved me the most agony:

1: Use of stack frame comments to actually define local variables and enforce the in - out stack transform. While at this I also added the comment string to the word definition in an additional help link. Thus:

[:] do_it ( in1 in2 -- out : return in1 * in2 * 2 )
local lv
: lv_helper 2 * ;
in1 @ in2 @ * lv_helper out !
[;]

> help do_it
in1 in2 -- out : return in1 * in2
> 3 6 do_it .
36
>

Note the [:] and [;] redefs for compiler words, had to do this to accommodate nesting, locals, stack frames, while not compromising regular FORTH.

all variables are local in scope to the containing word. Defining variables inside ditto. Had words for listing contents of these too.

I later extended this to include nested word definitions, dynamically allocated variables, and stack frames that will unwind these on execution error. Gone were stack frame size errors, a missed dup or drop no longer fatal, indeed dup and drop not really necessary any more.

2: Structured data debugging aides: a few words and a C header parser allowed me to dump or modify readable contaents of application structs, and to call into application functions.

3: along the same lines of nested definitions, I was able to associate sub-dictionaries with graphical views along their heirarchy. This was a later addition, applied to VNOS. Lots of little things became manageable with this paradigm. In particular, allowed me to do a scoped local console (as a debug object instantated in a View), and to insert message overrides into the VNOS messaging mechanism, effectively adding what turned out to be a really powerful scripting system. Done as an object too - current version includes Perl 5 and Lua (almost ready).

And yes, concurrency is a concern, and being sure not to call non-re-entrant (errant:) functions, but hey, ypu'd likely be surprised at how good a pattern recognizer ther Human Brain is here.

Over-all, I think I used this system with a good half-dozen different CPU architectures and their OS's, also in the high level VNOS GUI (originally put my FORTH into it for debugging purposes, but that was rapidly out-grown).
>AMZN and Jeff Bezos have strangely been absent even though he was the most critical pre-election.

Trump on Bezos:

"Amazon is getting away with murder, tax-wise.
"[Bezos has] got a huge antitrust problem because he's controlling so much. Amazon is controlling so much of what they're doing," Trump said, describing Amazon as a "monopoly" and complaining that "the whole system's rigged."

"Believe me, if I become president, oh, do they have problems. They're going to have such problems."

Seems like he's trying to keep his head down to avoid retribution.
Your statement vastly confuses me. Because things are laws they are just and moral and you should respect them? That's a really backwards way of thinking.
Please stop. It's not a binary issue, but unfortunately the elections are effectively a binary choice. And sometimes it takes a while for people to wake up. Encourage them to be consistent. Continually calling out hypocrisy isn't going to make people more likely to agree with you. Quite the opposite. Do you think the Executive Order should be opposed? If so, let people feel their oats now and engage. Once engaged, it's even more likely they'll be politically reflective and active in the future.

If you're fine with the Executive Order, fine, but please engage more constructively and civilly.

That 2011 Iraqi refugee processing delay was never announced. It only leaked to the press in 2013. http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/al-qaeda-kentucky-us-dozens-te...

Presumably, those Googlers, like you and the rest of America, didn't even know there was a delay in 2011 and had nothing to protest.
This brings me back. I recognize some of those textures from Shadow Warrior !
Fun fact about that phenomenon: no one really knows why it's called that. Someone just picked what seems to be a random name and it stuck. It has nothing to do with the real life Baader-Meinhof group.
Even direct democracies have restrictions; it's the arbitrary ones that need some real validation to support. Just cause "throw all the bums out" feels good does not mean it's sound policy for a republic.
I've spent much of my career trying to optimize latency of long analytic-type queries; and I've been wrong on both sides of the issue. While it sounds stupidly tautological to say, I've come to think the important thing is being right in what I choose to optimize and when. With that bit of "wisdom" out of the way, there's a lot of ways the "premature optimization" phrase can be helpful:

* I might think I know what's important/critical-path and be wrong (it's happened)

* Users might be willing to live with slowness in some areas I didn't expect and demand performance in others

* More performant solutions might come to light later

* Particularly before product-market fit, features and their optimizations might be discarded

* New development might change the critical path

OTOH, I've found it's often beneficial to organize data and processing in a way that can take advantage of parallelism like multi-threading and vectorization. Often that's the kind of thing that's harder to do later.
So.. your thesis is: supporting Clinton (against Trump) is somehow anti muslim (how exactly? Never mind, let's just grant you that for arguments sake)

But demonstrating against Trump when he proves their worst fears (including being anti Muslim in the dumbest of ways possible) is "virtue signaling" somehow?

I think you need to take a break and work on your Logic 101.

That was not the same stunt. Obama stopped processing new refugee applications for one country for a fixed period of six months.

This is an indefinite executive order that targets seven countries and goes well beyond refugees and affects green cards, student visas, etc.

I am not a fan of what Obama did, but this on a whole other level.

He didn't "pull out the same stunt". Trump's Executive Order bars Permanent Residents from re-entering the country, not just refugees, and was done not in response to a specific threat from the countries in question, but because he was fulfilling a deeply misguided campaign promise.

While pausing Iraqi refugee intake for 6 months in 2011 was almost certainly an overreaction, it was done in response to a case in Kentucky where it was shown that a number of Iraqi enemy combatants had been granted refugee status in 2009.
The German in the article is fairly ambiguous. Interestingly it could even be interpreted as simply that arriving hotel guests could not get into their rooms because new keys could not be programmed. In that case guest who already had keys would be fine. The bigger problem seems to have been that all their IT systems including reservations were down.

So I used to oppose term limits for Congress until I saw a very interesting argument:

The longer you have been in power, the longer the list of prior decisions and positions that you must defend, or else admit you were wrong. And so you end up clinging to bad positions, opposing good laws and good repeals, or supporting bad laws and bad repeals, because your own political fortunes are tied up in having been correct the first time around.
Ask HN: How do you manage your work and personal calendars?
I use Google Calendar to manage my work and personal schedule, but I hate using my personal calendar since it's a pain to keep my work one in sync. Many of my coworkers have "busy" time blocked off at random hours, and some even set their personal events on their work calendars so I assume it's a common problem. How do you solve it?
Did that include stopping legal permanent residents and visa holders from entering the US?
So you weren't a permanent resident of Paraguay? You didn't have a job, a house, or a family in Brazil? You didn't spend years navigating the immigration system in Mozambique? I fail to see the relevance of your comparison.

People who are legal permanent residents of the US, with lives and jobs here, are being denied entrance.

Since we all love Godwin's law, those people who man the gas chambers in Nazi Germany were also respecting the rule of law. I'd rather be on side of good and decent than have respect for an unjust law.
They are. My father owned several guns (we used to go hunting) before we were naturalized (in 2007). I think he owned a .30-06 rifle even before we had our green cards.

This is awesome finding. I was thinking about similar thing, how, if we didn't store energy as fat, but instead burn it... what kind of changes that would entail for us.

I imagined that while too much food would make you sick, in a lot of instances it would give you a lot of energy and it would be awesome if we could use more of the energy we collect.

It was just thought experiment, however I did read something later, that makes this whole idea not as great. Essentially it isn't as simple as burning all the energy. However increased rate would definitely be welcome.
And I've heard it said that lowering latency is harder than increasing throughput ... though whether it's more important probably depends on the context.

Except, of course, those green card holders that hold a green card because they're married to American citizens. Sure, "indirect."
The people being detained here have obeyed all of the rules (visa holders, permanent residents), and are still getting screwed. I skew right of center and am usually the last person to get pissed off enough to protest on the streets, but I went down to LAX tonight. The US got ahead in the world because we play by the rules and don't pull discriminatory ex post-facto stunts like this. As a nation, we should seek to keep things this way.

Protesting and reaching out to the people affected by actions like this is absolutely within the bounds of American civil society's responsibilities.
> although it is mildly irritating that only half the country is able to find one at any one time.

Was the "other half" outraged about the Obama administration's freezing out of Iraqi refugees at the time? I don't remember that at all. And when I Google[1] for "obama iraq refugees" and limit the scope to the year 2011, about the only criticism of this policy that I can find was from liberals and the left.

Besides which, Trump's order — which prevents even permanent residents from entering the United States — is far wider in scope than the Obama State Department's policy in 2011. It's totally expected that the reaction is bigger this time around.

Obama never pulled the same stunt. His order never extended to lawful permanent residents or dual citizens from friends and allies. And you know as well as I that the tech industry people protesting this weren't spending their days writing drone software. Drones don't run on React and Node.
Or a highly effective display of virtue signaling.
>The minute tech companies (let's not be obtuse here, corporations are in the business of making money and appeasing shareholders) decides they are either for or against certain laws, well...you have anarchy.

Private companies can't protest about unfair laws? Really? That's not the same as disobeying laws.

You can find plenty of examples of more conservative companies opposing left-wing laws.
You want are president to fail? That says a lot about how you view our country and what your regard for American law is.

You should never want a current president nor any person to fail. This is why we have elections. You don't like them, vote them out.

Clinton's support of bombing numerous Muslim countries in the Middle East as Secretary of State and prior to that, would blatantly be considered anti-Muslim if it were Trump doing it, just as it was considered anti-Muslim under Bush. Hillary was an extremely aggressive supporter of the Iraq invasion, the war in Afghanistan, the US involvement in Libya, the bombing of Syria, and the drone programs that bombed numerous Muslim nations including Pakistan.

You are taking the sentence out of context and I'm not sure it would be worth the downvotes to provide it, but sure, why not.

People seem to be assuming (probably because of the poor media coverage and inherent bias) that the ACLU has obtained an injunction on the order preventing entry into in the US by foreign nationals from the countries listed.

That really doesn't seem to be the case. Because the citizens of those nations have no standing in her court. For example, the ACLU can not sue in federal court on behalf of Jane Doe of Tehran with whom the US has no treaty obligation who was going to travel to the US next month.

She issued an injunction on behalf of a limited class of people (specifically those already in the US being detained with legal visas, etc) who do have standing in her court because they are are suffering (what she has decided to be irreparable) harm as a result of the order.

So, I hope that distinction is now clear, and also wish you a safe return from your limb.

I thought this immigration ban was taking place independent of the visa process. I understood this ban to happen even for people with valid visas and even valid green cards. If this was "just" about visas not being granted the process would be much less of an issue. People would have found out long before they got to the border and people with existing green cards, etc. would be fine. But for some reason that couldn't happen and we had to rush into this half thought through mess.
> If you want a reasonable commute (less than 1hr) (ie. South Bay, Peninsula, SF, etc) close to great companies, live in a safe area, with good schools, then earning anything less than $300k combined makes it tough. You can't even afford the mortgage payment on an average house in those areas at $150k/yr, unless you have a massive down payment, and God help you if one of you or your spouse loses their job.

Reasonable commute is relative. For example if you live as far east as the end of Pleasanton / Dublin in East Bay you can have a roughly 45 minute commute to the financial and nearby districts in SF.

Point being you can hit your most or all of your marks and not need $300k a year. In fact that's a difficult amount for the average or even above average person to make and it's not always possible to have spouses working.

Let people judge what they can and cannot afford to do. General statements like saying making under $300k is going to be tough isn't constructive and while it may be true in some instances it's certainly not true for all.
So, if I'm accused of something, the fist thing I should do is get married so my case will go away, I mean a prosecutor surely would not want to affect a spouse, right?

"Respect the rule of law," my ass.
well, they're not following the Constitution and the law on this visa situation, so I would respectfully disagree ...

see e.g. - https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/27/opinion/trumps-immigratio... . one can parse words but the whole thing seems clearly intended and specifically designed to make laws with respect to people of a specific religious faith, contrary to the First Amendment.

authorizing torture, proposing Muslim registries, intimidating the media, threatening to send troops to Chicago, bullying companies to score PR points ... all of these things, if Obama had done them, some would have said it was incipient dictatorship. it's plain as day that this Administration falls on the authoritarian end of the spectrum, not for 'less government and rule'.

I completely agree. It's embarrassing to see how superficial our 'compassion' is. It always reminds me of Baudelaire's chilling poem, "To The Reader", where he so uncomfortably spells out ennui as the worst of all monsters. The last 3 verses;

>But among the jackals, the panthers, the bitch hounds,
>The apes, the scorpions, the vultures, the serpents,
>The yelping, howling, growling, crawling monsters,
>In the filthy menagerie of our vices,
>
>There is one more ugly, more wicked, more filthy!
>Although he makes neither great gestures nor great cries,
>He would willingly make of the earth a shambles
>And, in a yawn, swallow the world;
>
>He is Ennui! — His eye watery as though with tears,
>He dreams of scaffolds as he smokes his hookah pipe.

Oh, duh. Private sales don't require a 4473 in my state either. Or does Georgia not do 4473's at all?

Edit. We both made edits - that makes sense!
Probably. It really does seem that the next several years are going to be an extremely litigious period.

The order does contain a clause specifying that SecState and DeptHomeSec can admit people from these countries on a case-by-case basis that are in the national interest. So I imagine an employer could be able to use his or her political influence to get their employees return access in this framework.

But this administration is anything but predictable.

I don't understand anyone who sees tech CEOs as being central to this kind of debate, as if they have any pull with the general population. Their only followers are us geeks. They don't hold any major weight with the population at large. Sadly, you need "popular" politicians and Hollywood actors on one's side to make any kind of dent.
