The UK is still currently member of the EU right now, so there's nothing stopping you from relocation.

From there you might have to wait N-years for citizenship, but freedom of movement hasn't been curtailed at the moment, even if it might be in the future.

The only potential spanner in the works is the question of what happens to foreigners in the UK, and the reciprocal agreement that has yet to be agreed. But it seems extraordinarily unlikely a UK-citizen who gained residency in German would be told to leave in two years time.

> imagine Lisp without macros.

Early on in my Scheme career, I found the tools to create macros a bit confusing and arcane .. but I still knew I wanted macros.

I ended up writing code transformers - a poor man's macro system if you will, taking my "high level" foo.scm through a couple of translation layers that turned the abstractions I wanted into running code. It was literally:

$ scheme expand-foo.scm < myprog.scm > myprog1.scm
$ scheme expand-bar.scm < myprog1.scm > myprog2.scm
$ scheme myprog2.scm

What made this possible - trivial - was the homoiconicity: simply by (read)ing a program from stdin I had a list of lists that I could pattern match over and make the transformations I wanted. Exactly as my final program did with ordinary data.

In some ways, this was a more satisfying approach than using define-syntax / syntax-case, which differ from the rest of Scheme in somewhat uncomfortable ways. That macros could never be first class eventually put me off, but that's another story :).

Boy I am gonna get down voted, But I rather say this.
I do consider myself C++ programmer, and I like it, but truth is truth. I think C++ designers are very well respected scientist. But they are not programmers. This is sad truth.

Every version of C++ comes out they tend to make C++ more complicate and introduce more ways to do something which was possible before. I was/am very happy with overall design of modern C++. But they did a very bad strategic mistake. Instead of making language simpler or at improving what was there, they are introducing new syntax for everything. Let me give you instance.

Imagine we have metafunction is_void.

Before C++11, there was only one way to call it :

> is_void<t>::value

C++11 they added :

> bool(is_void<t> {})

C++14 they added :

>is_void<T>{}()

and there was plan to add this syntax to C++17:

>is_void_v<T>

Okay. I am not scientist. And I do know someone people in committee are well respected scientist and tbh I like their job alot.

But when it comes practical stuff. This is nuts. Do they think how much makes this reading code bases hard ? How much makes tooling hard ? How much makes syntax unapproachable ?

I don't understand rational behind this, Why would they add new syntax for what already possible, when they can improve core language/libraries more and more.
True. We only have to look at how many Americans failed to move to Canada/elsewhere to see that!

>The patent doesn't appear to describe tiling window management

It does though. The screenshots show grid options, and describe how the end user can place windows in the grid. It specifically complains about how MS Windows has overlapping windows. Grid + no overlap == tiling.

>Indeed the patent describes a user interface to accomplish this that looks very similar to screenshots of Moom.

Sure. The argument about "novel" is that the patent holder wasn't the first to do something "similar to Moom". The idea that 2008 was the first time someone had the notion of grid layouts and allowing an end user to place a window in them is just silly.

>> but rather to unify the whole mind around single intention.

If that's the road to samadhi, inherently it's long and maybe painful - because our intentions depend on our memories - and a single intention means something like clearing or integrating all of the other intentions/memories. Or is there possibly a different way to achieve that?

On the other hand, i believe the view from neuroscience is that meditators created a network that can silence the default-mode network on command, and than the task-mode network automatically becomes the only one activated, hence focused on a single intention. So maybe that's the shortcut, maybe it could be accesseible by science ?

And BTW: Judson brewer recently published an interesting paper, showing how EEG could enable neurofeedback on deep brain structures related to meditation("effortless awareness") - which could have significant practical implications for meditators:

Wow, I think I'm experiencing exactly the same issues. I've never successfully picked up meditating, but I do optimise for flow (home office, instrumental music at exactly my pace etc.)

I've decided to roll with the punches and just work all-day, but take more days off. That way I can just go straight from flow to bed (with a few walks throughout the day). But I'll try to make sense of the sibling comments as well. Or maybe I just need to get better at napping again (right after work - a great reset button).

The first mobile phones had clear value, many initial customers, and a bunch of people who were obviously interested if the price came down. Where is the equivalent waiting market here?

Similarly, where is that short-term growth coming from and how would you distinguish it from a speculative bubble? Lots of companies reported amazing growth from 1995-2000, too, but anyone who looked at their fundamentals couldn't justify it.
According to linguists, there is an inevitable gap between a syntax and semantics, due to the fundamental principle of arbitrariness of phonemes used. To put it simple, any sequence of sounds could be associated with any meaning (given a distinct semantics). Morphemes however, while in some cases could be used as a direct pointers to the meaning, nevertheless require one or even several contexts to be interpreted correctly.

TL;DR - there is no way to get proper semantics without mastering appropriate contexts (domain knowledge) from mere syntax in principle. One would get certain word patterns, but not the corresponding deep structure (the intended meaning). Summarization would be arbitrary.

Your comment is a strange one, and I hear it a lot projected at Marxian-thinking people and economists too. In the case of Marx, he does not call inequality a bad thing, he says it is within the self-interest of the workers themselves to rise up against the system which produces the inequality; there is no moral judgment nor a decision on what is just - he states it as a fact from his research.
Sounds like this would depend a lot on what kind of social safety net is provided by the society. You need a lot more income to feel secure in the US than Sweden, where healthcare/education/pensions are more or less collectively provided.
Thanks! Missed this part. Also, do you think it's a good idea to keep it in this state as opposed to updating in case Intel's new patches lock AMT down even further?

I don't think the author necessarily means being a CEO is an unworthy line of work. What he wants us to understand from this is that it's futile deriving one's worth from the fact that he's the CEO and that he has the ability to boss other people around, but instead he must seek worthiness from the fact that he has the potential to bring about significant change in this world; more than most people could, because like you said, he is not just some "cog in the wheel", but someone who is in charge of many like-minded people who belive in him.

Joke's on them. I only use Netflix on my laptop on the go and then my bandwidth is usually bad enough that 1080p is unachievable anyway.
As engraving got cheaper though, the demand for it would increase. So there's no sense assuming that it will remain constant.

Joining a group means taking some responsibility for its governance and good running. Too many politicians use Brussels as a scapegoat, rather than something they own a piece of. So in so far as continentalism refers to an agglomeration of different peoples trying to speak with one voice, like US, China, Russia, EU - the thing only works if people don't get too cynical about the centre.

I don't think there's much alternative to joining a larger political entity if you're​ geographically near one, given what we know about economic links and distances. A possible advantage of something like the EU is that it doesn't have a cohesive enough identity to think nationalistically and get into trouble that way.
Have a look at the decision tree here:

http://www.suspension-nhs.org/Resources/Safety%20-%20IDT%20(...

In that tree (which is about harm to patients) the path to "consider suspension" is "were the actions as intended?" and "were adverse consequences intended?" (Did you harm the patient, did you mean to harm the patient?)

You get referral to the regulatory body (which may lead to suspension or dismissal) if someone took an unacceptable risk and there are no mitigating circumstances.

We love to focus on the minutiae of technical specification. The reality is that both the 787 and the A380 are modern passenger planes with similar cabin environmental systems. How much you enjoy flying each type is probably going to depend more on incidental factors such as what seat you're in and who is next to you, and what IFE the airline chose to install (if any) when it comes to medium and long haul flying.

Personally I am not particularly tall or wide (174 cm) so I can make myself comfortable even in the cramped conditions of discount airlines. However if you're taller or wider, you're going to be checking seatguru for which airlines give you the most legroom. In general, the Airbus product for each segment (A320 vs 737, A330/A350 vs 787) is slightly wider than the Boeing product so if you're a big bloke it might be important to you.

For me, I've flown the 787 and the A380 but I actually like the old (Qantas) A330 best, for the simple reason that I like the window seat, and the less dense 2-4-2 configuration means I only have to climb over one person when I want to stretch my legs!
so.. as programmers, we should be getting a patent first on any new idea before we begin programming? So much for an MVP.

We need tools to simplify the process of writing a good patent. The current system is skewed towards business types that would rather game the system than create an actual thing.
Being similar doesn't justify it as a patent. A core foundation of patents is that the invention be novel and non-obvious to a practitioner. If countless people independently -- without learning from the claims -- derive exactly the same "invention", it is an invalid patent. Of course then you have to actually get it invalidated, at great time and expense.

It is completely a bullshit patent. The patent office got their fees, and then they'll get their fees again to re-evaluate it.

One software I was/am still working on has an onscreen display(clear always top window ) so I can draw icons and text over a game, it's a pain to alt-tab out of(due to me setting it to constantly check to see if it's ontop, and if not, to set it).

So I would say that it's certainly possible, although I haven't tried specifically to do that to emulate UAC.

Edit:
Infact I had a bug at one stage where if I closed the main window, the invisible window would remain running, with no entry in the start bar.

Now I'm becoming a little more concerned, as I could also listen for hotkeys, (such as Ctrl alt delete) and display my own 'secure login' page. Shit
No, that's not so easy.

You cannot fill that out-of-order window if you mispredict branches. So the branch prediction has gotten better and better, to an absurd level of accuracy.

You also need more execution units, to accommodate more kinds of serial code without stalling the pipeline. In Skylake they also improved the retirement unit, apparently to improve hyperthreading performance.

There are also better prefetchers and decoders, while the decoders also become more complicated because this is good old x86's variable-length encoding, with further complications for x86-64, AVX, and so on.

TLBs also get more complex (there have been two-level TLBs for a while now), though I guess that is part of the "bigger caches" part.
