Gosh, you are wrong on so many things, but you reflect popular opinions of many common folks out there who probably just watch tv news.

Look, it ain't that hard, I am confident you can follow. You want to curb terrorism? Stop US doing their patriotic freedom crap in muslim countries where they have 0 mandate to kill thousands of civilians every year, for decades, for whatever pathetic reasons they tell you. They piss the shit out of generations of people whose close families were killed in most horrible ways. This is a very sad reality of tens of millions in huge parts of middle east, plus Afghanistan and Pakistan.

If you would see your parents/brother/kids killed by some trigger-happy scared shitless 18-year old american kid on some security checkpoint, what would you do? I know I would most probably try to avenge them somehow, anyhow, and this mentality is very common among males all around the world (to be fair, some women have it too, ie in Chechnya).

There are many examples of muslims and christians (or other mixes of religions) living peacefully for millenia in same places next to each other. Usually only when some political asshole tries hard to escalate the situation for his own profit (ie targeted kiling of 'other' group), things go bad. But then again we westerners are perfectly capable of killing each other without some religious pretext in amazingly high amounts and hating each other for some tiny differences.

The last thing I want to say to this - once you meet people of other religions, you realize how similar we are. No, in fact we are fucking same. So stop this us-vs-them mentality, it's just a mental construct in your head.

Howgh.
The trouble is the demand for deep technical knowledge tends to be quite fickle, you only need the market to move slightly and your narrow specialism is completely redundant. Domain knowledge seems to be longer lived.
From Apple's website: "processing is done by remote servers, it requires a data connection"

From Apple employee: "only collects the Siri voice clips in order to improve Siri itself"

Which is basically what Google says.

EDIT: both companies have promised "off-line" processing, whatever that means, but I don't know if any already does that. Note that off-line processing does NOT mean they won't store your voice clips on their servers.
You're mentioning "disproportionate complexity" for current compilers and at the same time advocating for a runtime system modifying and caching the code on the fly? Ouch...

Note also that I don't believe that Dynamo "reproduce many of the benefits [...]", since the paper you linked benchmarked running Dynamo on top of the O2 generated code (by a ~20y old compiler). It isn't clear if they ripped "low-hanging fruit" that static compilers are catching nowadays. Also the same thing on top of a PGO+LTO build may be a more fair comparison.

Wouldn't be surprised if in a few years there will be studies about the "Russia" propaganda campaign. How first it was very effective, everyone repeating the same things, the infamous "dossier" with sexual allegations, communication via mass marketing emails and so on. How it was beautiful and effective, and then everyone went too far and it ended up as a very expensive, counterproductive and embarrassing affair.

Also I wonder to what degree the journalists and anchors involved actually believe those things, or they simply know what to sell and do it regardless of their personal convictions in the matter.

> This is a percentage that relatively compares Bitcoin's production (0.74%) to the world production (100%).

No, because it doesn't give any reasoning to connect up Bitcoin production with that 0.74% figure. The only number it gives for Bitcoin is the $1T market cap number, and fundamentally it's completely implausible for something with a $1T market cap to be responsible for 0.74% of world productivity. As I said a few posts back, a $1T market cap in a mature industry corresponds to being responsible for about 0.06% of world productivity (and a $1T market cap in a growing industry corresponds to less productivity than that, as the market cap is including the growth potential).

> What I meant is the central bank or other authority (not part of the initial transaction) can reverse it at will. Most RTGS systems are operated by central banks. If a fraudulent transfer from bank A to B is made, then of course the central bank would step in and reverse it.

Cryptocurrency transactions can be reversed by those operating the cryptocurrency - look at the Ethereum DAO fork.

Atomico report: Europe’s game companies need to look east to China
I would always go with a dot com site. I owned a MYNAME.me site hoping to shift to it one day. Never got around to it. When a year passed, the domain expired without warning. In case of a dot com domain, there is period of suspension for a month before the domain expires and goes back to the pool. During that period, you cannot use the domain but you still can renew the domain and no one else can register it.

The learning is that, with dot com domains, the rules of domain registration and expiry are more well established. The other tlds can and do change these procedures. So do not go in expecting the same stuff that worked with dot com (esp. The edge cases) to work with other tlds.

It seems Nicaragua rejected the Paris agreement as it didn't go far enough [1]:

> As world leaders gathered in the French capital in November 2015 to reach an agreement on fighting climate change, Nicaragua's lead envoy explained to reporters that the country would not support the agreed-upon plan as it hinged on voluntary pledges and would not punish those who failed to meet them.

That leaves Syria, which may actually have other problems these days. The US seems to be pretty much alone in this.

Could you give some examples of what did you do in F#? Did you choose F# just because you wanted to see if you can do it in it, or did F# have some advantages over other (functional) languages?

> It takes a while to figure out your style however. (...) Some people end up with "C# in F#" (...) And until you figure that out, it's hard to be as productive as in a language you already know.

My plan is to avoid as much as possible "writing Python in F#", because I choose F# as an opportunity to learn something new/different (which might transfer to writing better Python later). Any tips for this?
The VA released a paper calling pain an untreated epidemic and saying that opioids were not addictive if used to treat pain.

They seem to be not addictive if used to treat short term pain for a few days. They seem to be strongly addictive, and ineffective to treat pain, if used for longer.

> Compiler optimization reduces code size

Nope, much is gained by unrolling loops, inlining functions etc, which all increase code size.

Of course C++ compilation with no optimization at all can be rather wasteful with performance and code size, but to squeeze the final performance out you probably need to sacrifice code size (whether manual or automatic)

>Was it Josephus who called Christians "literal minded fools" for believing in the literal truth of the same foundational myth of so many other religions at that time? To take a myth literally does it disservice

Or does it? Because taking it literally can also give you certain powers and certain outcomes that you cannot get from merely treating it as myth (strength of conviction, for one).

That said, even old Christians were quite complex creatures, and they have been able historically to both take christianity it literally and not take it literally, in intricate psychological ways. It was more of a philosophy for orthodox christians and more of a morality mythology for catholics, when protestants brought it back to naive literal interpretation.

No amount of "we were briefly a huge multinational" will compensate for a fundamentally unsound business.

Sooner or later the free money is going to run out and Uber is going to have to stop hemorrhaging nearly a billion dollars every quarter. When that day comes they're not going to have a lot of options to stop the bleeding: raising prices and cutting back the markets they operate in are likely to be the first things they do, or are forced to do by investors.

Meanwhile, the way you build a huge multinational is by first figuring out a way to make money and then scaling it to everywhere, not by figuring out how to be everywhere and then realizing "crap, we have to actually turn a profit now".

> A thing that's often noted about German and Dutch is how you can string words together without spaces (kindercarnavalsoptochtvoorbereidingswerkzaamhedenplan).

You can do that in English, it's just that we choose not to and introduce spaces between the unbound morphemes. Imagine:

kinder carnavals optocht voorbereidings werkzaamheden plan

If Dutch were written more like English, that's what that word would look like.

The dutch 'g' isn't really all that strange. What's strange is how prevalent the sound is in the language.

English has phonological abominations like 'strengths', so can't really complain about complex consonant clusters. :-)

'de' and 'het' is just a historical thing: gender is just as difficult in other languages that have it, and it just happens that in the Romance languages, the sound changes have mostly conspired to leave pretty decent markers as to the grammatical genders in a lot of cases.

Your 'separable verb' example isn't: Dutch is a V2 language, meaning that there has to be a finite verb in the second slot in a sentence. 'wil' in this case is a finite (auxiliary) verb, where as 'gaan' is an infinitive, and thus goes at the end of the word. This whole thing is a consequence of the Germanic languages once having been verb final, but later the finite verb moved up to where it presently is in most of the Germanic languages. English is now a notable example of a Germanic language (mostly) without this, but you still get remnants of V2 word order here and there. The term 'separable verb' is more apt for the likes of 'aankomen'. English has these too, it's just that the separable bit is typically written afterwards as separate word rather than prefixed as in most other Germanic languages.
Those things enable sprawl, but they don't force it.

Actually, the C (and I believe C++) language standards both allow reorganizing struct layouts, except for the first member which has to be in first place (for tagged unions).

The struct layout is fixed by platform-specific ABI documents, which must specify the layout precisely so that structs can be passed between separately compiled code, e.g. between applications and dynamically linked libraries.

Changing ABIs is virtually impossible, so...

It would be nice to see opt-in optimizations of struct layouts, e.g. by annotating structs with a packing-style attribute. Though the best gains would probably be obtained from profile-guided optimizations for cache line optimizations, and those can only really be done with link-time optimizations for structs that are not passed outside the linker's scope.

> Nope, much is gained by unrolling loops, inlining functions etc, which all increase code size.

That's because those are performance optimizations, not size optimizations (though as an aside, inlining functions can reduce code size in the event that the inlined version is smaller than the function-call overhead, or in the case where the function is used only once).

There are plenty of size optimizations that can be performed. -Os will enable them on gcc/clang if you want to try for yourself.
