I'm still not sure what your point is.

Mild autism (what we're talking about here), in many ways, is (to use a tech analogy) like missing SSL offloading when everyone else has it.

You can still talk SSL, by manually doing it on the CPU, but it bogs down the CPU with crypto and becomes overwhelming if you're trying to do other things at the same time.

You're also not going to be as efficient at SSL, which means you can get overwhelmed by just trying to manage SSL if there's many connections at once.

Recognizing that difference -- that there is a difference in how you're processing those things -- is the first step to doing it better.

Autistic people are literally wired differently: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/

Reminds me of the 'I Am Rich' app launched back in '08. It was just an app that says 'I am Rich' and cost $999.99 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_Rich)

Moral of the story: rich people will always want to show off that they are rich.
I am very far from Autistic but I think the whole idea of authentic feeling is rather fragile. I may generate appropriate responses very smoothly but I have no idea if they're authentic until much later. Mostly not. Mostly just what I know people need to see and hear.

I imagine an Autistic mind-adventurer who got inside my head would be very disappointed.

Germans can get state-support ("Bafög") if the parents can't support, they can work self-employed and they can take non-"student-jobs" which opens the possibility to earn significantly more than minimum-wage.

They can also work more than 20h/week, loose their student-status and still study.

You had 'intact family privilege' not white privilege.

'Generational poverty' explanation fails since it didn't seem to be a big issue for Vietnamese boat people, Iranian refugees, Cubans, or various other very poor minorities who succeeded.

'The solution is for government programs to tax me and people like me to provide simple things that can help break the cycle of poverty.'

After 60 years of that, no serious improvement. And huge losses in intact family privilege. Black illegitimacy went from 25% to 70%.

Not in spite of these guilt-easing handout programs - but because of them. They discourage intact families. Like Saudi oil money or giving cash to a meth addict, the free funds paradoxically harm the recipient by reinforcing their problems permanently while easing the symptoms only temporarily.
That's a great thought - I believe this is how democracy in the US used to work with more magnanimity and cooperation. Maybe I'm romanticizing, but I will think on how I can do my part to bring it to fruition.

I'm not sure about performance vs wrk (don't kwow wrk), but just to give an idea: I noticed you're not using Tokio Hyper. Try Hyper's master branch, which fully embraces Tokio's async.

EDIT: From wrk's README:

> wrk is a modern HTTP benchmarking tool capable of generating significant load when run on a single multi-core CPU. It combines a multithreaded design with scalable event notification systems such as epoll and kqueue.

Your example is multithreaded but IIRC release Hyper isn't using event notification async, which Tokio Hyper does. It might help.

> Why would you use this instead of a system where you take a neighborhood bus to the local transit station

Because I don't want to walk four miles in weather that could be 90 degrees or 9 degrees to get my "neighborhood" bus, and then waste hours of the day because I have to change to other buses (sometimes going in the wrong direction) to get somewhat close to my destination. I especially don't want to do that carrying heavy or fragile things, or in the rain or snow.

> So what was that you were saying about "trying to fix governments being pointless"?

We should not dress up authoritarianism as something good. But some form of governing needs (and will anyway) to take place. I believe the best place for the center of this to happen in "close by", local, or small-scope.

> Or is this proposal not "a government" in your eyes.

It proposes a collection of most authorative governments, with layers above that are less authoritative and on-topic.

This is the opposite of a nation state, that tends to cluster power/tax-revenue at the top.

Most of the top universities in the US are effectively free. The pool of students they get to choose from would enter with a basket of scholarship money to the point they wouldn't have to pay. The other group is so wealthy the price of tuition is the cost of a new luxury car, every year. Effectively a single percentage expense.

Germany doesn't have to make their schools to compete free because the schools they compete against are basically free to the type of students they are pursuing.

- Spawning a new thread for every request isn't good, you can reuse threads this causes a non-trivial Kernel load

- The standard channel library isn't bad but it's a far cry from great. You end up allocating every SEND. Which has its trade offs.

- You are doing a print in every thread which requires acquiring a global lock, and at least 2 system calls, and a global allocation.

- You aren't keeping your client/connection alive. So every new thread has to do a new 3 way handshake every request. 5 way if your is HTTPS.

I'm working on a neural network project using c++17 and wanted to compile it into wasm. I searched how to support c++17 with emscripten and my finding seemed to be that it's not trivial. It's great to see that you have achieved it.

For neural network visualization, I also thought about using node graph, this is certainly a project I can learn from!
A German student visa allows you to work 120 days per year [0]. At minimum wage [1] that is about EUR 9,000 per year. I think there would be many international students who could support themselves with that. Standard of living would be low compared to Germans, but it's possible.

You do however need to show you have EUR 8,640 before you get the student visa [2]. Very poor families would not be able to borrow this amount, so it acts as a barrier for them.

I'm just going by the rankings. There are several of these lists, and the overall picture is pretty similar - the best universities are judged to be US/UK, with the odd sprinkling of European/Asian in the top ranks.
Thanks for the links. I guess I should have said unprecedented within the timescale in question. Note that the link you provided above only discusses the last 10,000 years, so the xkcd timeline is more than adequate when discussing its particular claims.

I'd like to know what you think about my sibling comment, about how this five-year-old article makes a prediction that has already failed. In particular, the article talks about how the 0.8C warming since 1850 fits their hypothesis... but warming has continued quite rapidly since that article was written, so if you wrote that today you'd have to talk about ~1.4C warming since 1850. Does that still fit?

Finally, although it's not relevant to your overall argument, I have to say that Chicxulub is the worst argument I've seen in this space for quite a long time.
Though that is kind of how it was used in Echol's case, in general the prosecutors think the person is guilty but don't want to spend money on the proof. Avoiding huge lawsuits was probably why it was used in this situation.
The author of the article believes that their gender cannot be categorised as either male or female (hence a "non-binary" gender), so they prefer for others to refer to them using "they" and its inflected forms, rather than "he" or "she".

The singular "they" is already commonly used when the gender of a person is not known, so its extension into non-binary genders is quite sensible, in my opinion. Some others who regard themselves as a non-binary gender prefer invented pronouns such as "xe" or "ze", but I think expecting others to remember and use these is rather unrealistic, whereas "they" has the advantage of already having mainstream use in similar contexts.
While that's factually true I have to guess you may not be in the US or else possibly weren't listening to George Bush's speeches and reading the all the media hype leading up to the event.

There were no shortage of "Because Like Hitler" and "Neville Chamberlain" type arguments being bandied about and the situation was not even remotely similar.

Point being, this kind of rhetoric (in addition to not being a solid argument) is dangerous and easily slips into justification territory. (As we've seen). Cases should evaluated on an individual basis.
Fascinating. It touches on the discolored and counterfeit parts but doesn't say how they are detected – I assume there was a lot of manual training of the neural net?
> Many cities, which house a disproportionate portion of the black (and increasingly, Latino) population, lack adequate funding for schools.

This is quizzical. Most cities spend more money per pupil than suburbs and rural areas; which suggests that poor education in urban areas is a function of institutional corruption and not lack of funding.
It's a good thing it was such a nice tidy experiment, with perfectly designed programs providing assistance and no other factors in play at all.

That’s not really true. The big issue is that these university rankings are based almost exclusively on intra-university research.

Generally said, Germany does NOT do University research.

Universities become members of research organizations, where many universities cooperate on some kinds of research, but basically all the research is done within of these organizations. Which means it’s not counted in university ranking.

- mp3, developed at Fraunhofer Institute, does not count for the university ranking of any of the universities the researchers work at.

- Wendelstein 7-X, a milestone in Fusion research at the university of Greifswald, does not count for the University of Greifswald.

Neither do any papers published about them. That’s the big issue of the university rankings.
As a backup you could always sell them as automated parking lots while you were working on the tunnels. Because I'm odd in that sort of way, I imagine the tunnel as an infinite tape and the entrance/exit ramp as a place where you can read or write the tape. Now if you could just force the cars to either forward or backward on demand ...
Yes, there have been quite a few transitions happening. They didn't happen "for fun", but because it had been felt that the optimal solutions were not found yet (optimal as in elegant, easy to use, maintainable, ...).

Luckily, Haskell's static typing coupled with the extremely helpful error messages of the compiler makes refactoring a cheerful task: If it worked before and all type errors have been fixed, then we can be quite confident that it works again.

Many areas have stabilized now. For instance, Edward Kmett's lens package is the de facto standard for all things related to records, getters, setters, and all those things on steroids. (Personally, I love how this turned out. Before lens, we quite frankly had the problem that field accesses were much more painful than they are in mainstream object-oriented languages like Python or Java. Nowadays field accesses are as simple as they are in other languages, and in addition to this we have the flexibility of composable first-class lenses.)
Here is my understanding, after some extensive conversations with people in the same situation as the author.

In English one refers to a male as "him" and a female as "her". However, some people identify as "non-binary", which means that in their own internal self they so not feel that they are entirely male, or entirely female. As a result, they find it not quite right to be referred to as "him", but also not quite right to be referred to as "her".

So they prefer to be referred to in the gender-neutral "them".

If you are "traditionally aligned", if your personal self-identity matches the body your ghost[0] inhabits, this can be totally mystifying. Personally, I've come to accept that people are weird, and if someone says they want to be referred to as "they" and "them" then why not?

> By the way, emulating an emotional response is not uncommon for "regular" people, too.

I think that was the author's point. Everyone, autistic or not, finds themselves in situations where they need to fake emotions. The difference is that "regular people" can detect if the fakery is not working, know instinctually what the "right" response is, and can usually switch gears fast enough to satisfy the other person and save the interaction. The author seemed to be saying that not only do they need to operate off a "playbook" (which is normal for everyone), but that if the playbook goes wrong, they both can't detect it and don't have a backup plan.

> I'd say it's an important skill for social survival.

I mean, practically the defining characteristic of autism is the extreme difficulty, if not impossibility, of getting these skills. We get them for free "in hardware", but they're trying to do as best they can without them. Reminders like this are kind of redundant and unhelpful.
I understand where you are coming from, but this is a bit like saying "the primary symptom of dyslexia is the belief others are better at reading".

MRI studies have shown fundamental differences in the mental wiring in autistic brains. Lack of social perception/awareness is a widely recognized trait in people with autism spectrum disorders.

The adequacy and efficiency, yes.

There are good border controls towards regions where they are not that necessary. For flight passengers from the United States, for instance. Schengen borders towards Russia are fairly solid in Norway and Finland, slightly less so but improving in Estonia, etc.

There is no effective control of entry across the Mediterranean; in fact, there is an ongoing operation which effectively works as a free taxi service for human traffickers who collect the money from passengers who are treated like cargo. The traffickers tow a rubber boat a few miles off the shore of Libya or Turkey, and leave the cargo to wait for a rescue ship with instructions to puncture the raft and expect to be picked up and taken to Europe.

Sometimes the rescue ship is out of capacity, so the people cannot be picked up, the punctured raft will sink and people drown, but this is no loss for the traffickers. We are told that we must go on with this because anything else would be "unhuman".

Upon entry, everyone has mysteriously lost their papers and everyone is admitted without any idea who they are, as long as they utter some code words.

From Turkey, people used to come across using flotation toys. Because EU couldn't get together an act of controlling the maritime border towards Turkey, the union negotiated a deal with Erdogan where Turkey acts as Europe's border control. Now EU is a hostage of Turkey because of this.

I think people don't fully appreciate the erosive power of monetary policy.
Aw, dolmades, how did I leave that out :D

I didn't know about vowel harmony, but it seems we have many, many words from Turkish in Greek that are just the Turkish word with an "-i" stuck at the end: pasoumi, ati, ginati, gieri ("gut", from cigeri), kapaki, kaloupi etc etc. I guess that just brings the sound of the word more in line with what we're used to in the rest of the Greek language.

In Greek we don't have the long-"u" that Turkish has (incidentally, that long "u" sounds very similar to the French "u" to me, French being my second language) so we basically change it to the shorter, rounder "ou", hence "karpouzi" instead of "karpuz". Sometimes we just shorten and round-out an "o" sound also: we say "boudroumi", for "dungeon", coming from "bodrum" I reckon (the old joke is that "Boudroumia & Baboules" is the Greek version of "Dungeons & Dragons"; I don't know if "baboulas" comes from Turkish- it means "bogeyman").

It's funny because not speaking Turkish I have no idea what some of those words really mean, or how they 're pronounced in Turkish, or even sometimes if they're actually Turkish at all. I know that, to my ears they sound not quite Greek, and I can't really figure out their meaning, so they're probably loan words and therefore most likely Turkish (although there have to be plenty that come from Albanian).

I quite like that btw, hope you don't want them all back now :P
It's basically bootstrapped. Use the machine to sort a few kilos, pick out the mistakes, update the training set, let it train overnight, rinse, repeat. After many such cycles it is getting pretty good. The best part is when I think it has made a mistake but actually it is right and I'm wrong :)
> So please convince me of a use case for OSGI.

Imagine you're build a "platform" into which other people can load their own code. Examples include IDEs but also ci servers, static analysis platforms, CMSes, repository managers, build systems, …. The code people can load takes the form of "plugins". These plugins are written by third parties that you do not control.

That plugin code should be able to use APIs that you offer but you want prevent the plugin code from accessing your internals because you want to be free to change your internals without breaking the plugins. In addition you would like to isolate these plugins as much as possible. One plugin should be able to use one version of a library with a different plugin being able to use a different version of the same library without conflict.

While I do agree that OSGi is a bad fit for the JDK I also believe Jigsaw is a bad fit for applications because Jigsaw is constrained by the requirement that it has to work for the JDK.

> It should be noted that IBM is heavily invested in OSGI and thus its not surprising they're objecting everything that intersects with OSGI's terrain which is pretty wide.

While true I believe IBMs objections are much more nuanced and center around the unfortunately still ongoing immaturity of Jigsaw. With new features being introduced or dropped on an almost weekly basis after we're officially feature complete since 11 months I believe they have a point.

> I believe it's also heavily used in Eclipse, but then this isn't good advertising for OSGI either, as getting into Eclipse internals is such a PITA that its almost easier to code an app from scratch.

I have trouble following this argument.
> But, eventually those "leaders" you seem to trust will find an enemy and unite to "fight" it.

Hopefully the enemy within.

> Also, keep in mind that your idea of government won't protect the internet forever.

First, do most Turks want free or protected access? Lets assume they want free access. If they cannot have it it shows the system of gov't is not democratic enough (or they have "traded" their request in some way, but that's not the case now).
