In fact, I wonder what other may feel to read the page just before Section 4. It is funny. Also as C is used in everywhere, it is not that funny.

But the first quote in first page is quite a good starting point to understand Brexit and Trump's crowd. Take the recent action to "deal with" the 800,000 kids, it is the problem of the Obama that want to extend them to their parents that now hurt the child. If we keep some dangerous element, some germs, not pure, not totally PC, may be the world is a better place.

As that Taoism would argue - the Big Thief would not be dead until the Great Saint is all dead. We are human not God. And we need C. Those academic common consensus to pursue ideal and nirvana create bad language. We need to keep C and find its proper role. Like keeping the world in a pure Buddhist world - not to save it, not to say it is a 2nd grade world cf nirvana but as it is.

Depends on which religion you grew up with. If you're fairly secular, it's gradual. If you're a Mormon, you get pushed out of a car doing 90.
Yeah, I'm wondering too.
Because Vonnegut made an affirmative claim that this doesn't hurt children, and the comment was challenging that claim. I didn't notice anyone making a claim that it definitely does hurt children.

Source? Let's say a company owning a factory was thusly dissolved. What would you do? Parcel bricks out to shareholders?

We got rid of this for a good reason. It nukes long-term investment by laying the road for expropriation.
No. The First Amendment says this:

> Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Taking an animal with you is not typically seen as an exercise of free speech, etc.
I have worked with people with disabilities the majority of my career. I wish this was an extreme example. I could probably name upwards of 2,000 people just in my area of the state that have this very problem monthly. And that is just one region of our state. And that does not count the number of elderly who receive their retirement on a rolling basis monthly who also experience this issue. I would venture to guess that more than half a million people experience this issue. So in my opinion, not so extreme.
If you decide you want a comfortable chair for your 30 minutess of sitting, looking into drafting chairs. They're basically office chairs with the height of a bar stool.

That factory is already out of space, with production far below 500k. In fact, it's less efficient and employs more people than it did before Tesla bought it.

Tesla uses far more workers than NUMMI employed to build far fewer cars. In 1985, its first full year of production, NUMMI had 2,470 employees and produced 64,764 vehicles — about 26 vehicles per worker per year. By 1997, it had 4,844 ​ workers and produced 357,809 vehicles — about 74 vehicles per worker per year.

Tesla, on the other hand, had between 6,000 and 10,000 workers in 2016 and manufactured 83,922 vehicles. That puts its vehicle-per-worker number between 8 and 14, about one-seventh the efficiency of NUMMI at its peak.

I like Tesla, but Elon often talks about the future like it exists today. One day they'll be able to completely automate that factory, but first they need to become as efficient as the other auto manufacturers that already exist today.

Automation of production is something that all of auto manufacturers have pushed... and Tesla is far behind on that metric. I would not assume they get to full automation before Ford, GM, Toyota, etc.
I really envy your ability to get hypnotized by a book, and I've heard others have similar binge reading sessions quite frequently. I love reading. I read every morning and night, but I can only read for about an hour at a time. I do read mainly non-fiction, and I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it. However, I'm drawn towards non-fiction more, so wouldn't I prefer longer reading sessions for the books I'm interested in the most?

We have to start by not capitalizing "god" and improving our writing skills to better argue with the believers.
Sure, that's fine too. My point is more that it would've been nice to get a summary of the differences instead of requiring the reader to dig through the article, since Redux is much more prevalent. Even after digging, I still can't tell if there is a difference. If there is none, it would've helped greatly to explicitly say this.
That was my guess too, but I have seen some local syndicates for NBC/ABC/CBS/FOX etc. that have some low quality productions. It wouldn't even surprise me if some of those use a similar technique.
I like how Hackernews speaks about topics it doesn't at all understand as if nobody smarter has thought about these issues before.
Not liking dogs isn't a protected class so the private business (restaurant) can do whatever they want. Now if they are violating health codes (sounds like they were) that's different.
That's useful. It's a low standard of dog training, merely decent on-leash behavior. If you can't get your dog up to that level, it shouldn't be out in public.

> That many top college graduates hesitate to join a profession with low wages is no great surprise. For many years, talented women had few career alternatives to nursing and teaching; this kept teacher quality artificially high. Now that women have more options, if we want to attract strong teachers, we need to pay competitive salaries.

It's not just that other professions pay better: teaching is a sort of "mission impossible" that breaks everyone but the most dedicated and enthusiastic.

My high school biology teacher was an excellent teacher. Everything about his style was enthusiastic. He retired at 55 years old and became a real estate agent. I saw him a few years later, and asked why he gave it up. He said he wanted to go out at the top of his game. He didn't want to become one of those teachers who goes to work because they need the money. All students are apathetic about some of their classes. I think it bothered my poor high school geography teacher that no one actually cared about her class.

I don't think many people realize that "traditional" public schools are themselves an experiment that was never evaluated. This article talked about the first public schools, but doesn't comment on the actual details: these were one-roomed schoolhouses with a single teacher. This is a 'traditional' public school, not the factory schools the industrialists gave us [1].

It's a little bit hard to capture in a survey, but the reality is you can't value everything. Values aren't a list of all the things you think are good, it's a list of the things you value "above replacement".

Even just talking about what values your company has is very instructive and revealing. Sure, few people say "we don't value maintainable code", but if you're putting together a list of your four or five core values and you're coming up with things like "speed of execution", "rapid iteration" and you don't put anything about mainainability, the reality is you don't value that.

You might not object to it, but it just isn't important to you - you don't value it.
In a vacuum, yes -- but societies can enter modalities where returns to labor are very low, relative to capital or real property. This was a phenomenon known to Smith in the 1770s. There are simply not enough alternatives to go around -- and you end up with societies where there is a massive (and unstable) gap between rich and poor.

If a position does not pay well enough for someone to have a family and raise and educate two or three children, it can be said not to pay for itself: which is to say, not to pay for its renewal from generation to generation. This is the real standard by which we must consider the wages paid to those positions, like waiters and teachers and janitors, which are perennial.
I started going to bed earlier so I could wake up earlier. Seems zero sum, but waking up early to focus on my top priority when it is quiet and I am fresh has been a huge gain.
Because not all poor people have children, and in many cases, having a pet first can be good training for having a child, especially when you run into situations where it's hard to make ends meet and you need to make some tough choices. If you own a pet and making sure they have enough to eat is hard to do, that should definitely factor into whether you can support a child if your financial situation hasn't changed.

Beyond that, it's a quality of life issue. Pets can drastically increase the quality of life of people by providing companionship. Questioning why the poor are getting pets is like questioning why the poor have a smartphone, or even just the internet. To some, it looks like a luxury, but a long time ago it became much harder to lead a normal life without internet access. For example, last week was back to school night for my daughter's sixth grade class. All teacher correspondence is through email, updates about classwork is through email or the teacher website, and if you have a problem with the math homework, there's handy set of instructions for how to get instructional videos from the math website. Don't have a computer or a phone that can use the internet (which face it, is probably cheaper)? Guess you have to find a relative or head to the library to get help.

Any time you question whether the poor should be spending their money on something you see as a luxury item, you should step back and think about why they are doing it, and what non-obvious benefits it might impart. That even goes for clothes.
> If that were true, then Linux distros wouldn't still be using GCC.

You're presupposing they want to switch. Most of the switchers to clang seem to have done so for ideological reasons more than anything.

Brendan is one of the few guys who try to squeeze the last drop of performance from kernels. He is brilliant and has done some great work.
Those friends sound kind of terrible. Good friends can have rational, respectful discussions, even if they disagree.
Your point about reducing pointer size if the size of allocation pool is smaller makes sense. But I think it is not fair or realistic to imply that simply using an array the size of all RAM starting at zero leads to more fragmentation than referencing all of RAM relative to some other point. Assuming same algorithms working on same sized data sets.
The relative locations of objects is not dependent on where the coordinate origin is, although choosing a good zero may make the engineer's life easier.
I used snprintf(), too, but it is only a minor improvement. Problematic in C is something as simple as concatenating strings:

Mystring s,t;
t = "hello";
t = cat(s,s);
t = cat(s,s,s);
t = cat("hello",s);
t = cat(s,"world");
t = cat("hello","world");

Even such a simple use case is fraught with major problems:

1. who allocates needed memory?

2. who free's it?

3. can the compiler constant fold cat("hello","world") ? Does the result wind up allocating memory anyway?

4. what about the lack of function overloading to handle the permutations?

Lots of Macs. Lots and lots of Macs.

I'm sure it varies by industry obviously. I'm sure there are industries where you won't see a lot of Macs in developers' hands.
I expect this will be an unpopular opinion, but a proliferation of frameworks does not create value for anyone besides the developers employed in making it.

Sure different frameworks handle different uses better than others, but it doesn't change the fact that in a given genre (machine learning, web frontend, ORM, etc.) that there is a lot of duplication going on.

If you want to look cool and impress people, make a tool that doesn't exist, develop a new algorithm, or contribute a great feature to an existing framework.
I think it's pretty terrible that Blogspot requires JavaScript in order to display text. There's already a really great way to display text on the web: HTML. It just makes no sense to me to change that.

To address these issues, there should be difficult-to-attain certifications for a dog to roam free (within certain bounds), and for a dog to go with a human to places not normally allowing dogs (airplanes, restaurants, etc).

The latter certification would be a prerequisite for various service dog certifications.
For what it's worth, I hope you make it through with life, limb and property unscathed.
And a major electric company in our area was having such a problem with late payments that they started a program that allowed people who received social security to submit documentation and their bill could be deducted from their account automatically on their social security pay date with zero late fees. The only catch was that the account had to have a zero balance in order to sign up.

The easy solution is on social security pay day, pay your current bill with the late fee and sign up thus eliminating all future late fees from this electric corporation. Out of the more than 34,000 eligible accounts less than 1,600 signed up. That is probably partially because the program was not well known and the misconception that a party would have to pay 2 months electric bill at one time to subscribe. I helped a number of people sign up but some people just are too nervous to give the electric company the right to auto draft on their social security pay date. Whoever failed to sign up will pay an extra $8-12 a month I would guess.
I think the Sun leadership at the time wanted ZFS to be on Linux up to the point of licensing it under the GPL. The employees wanted a more BSD-like license[1], so that's the correct context under which you can look at how Solaris was licenced. It's not about being in Linux or not, it's do we want Solaris to be under a more BSD like or GPL license. I think this conversation was bigger a decade or more ago, and frankly the GPL has had more commercial success since then. If Solaris had been GPL'd is an interesting thought experiment, and too bad it's just that. Netbeans was GPL and CDDL dual licensed.

I wonder what Linux Torvalds thinks about merging ZFS into Linux now, he wasn't too keen a decade ago. Sun is no longer around, someone worse like Oracle has taken their place. A couple of lessons for the open source community here, I think. And Brian Cantrill nails in on the head in the youtube video link.

ZFS will need to be on Linux first before it can show up on Android or media centers or gaming consoles, and I don't doubt Oracle's ability to find a way to patent troll anything. But it will be just that: patent or copyright trolling.

Sure, you sound like anyone can just have a eureka moment and come up with an algorithm. Uber has a legitimate use-case that fits their needs on ML, so they build it for that need. And why not just also talk about it too as a lesson-learned for others.

Do you simply have very high expectation of everything in this world?
I enjoy both quite a bit, and I wouldn't find it implausible that it's easier to get lost in fiction than nonfiction, even if you prefer the latter. I feel like when I read nonfiction, I generally like time away from the book to digest it, compare the new models I'm forming with existing ones that I have, integrate external information into the stuff I'm learning about (e.g. by Googling or talking to friends).

With certain kinds of fiction, I'm much more able to get completely lost in the world created to the point that I lose track of what's going on around me.
man, it is hard to not feel for you, and i'm sorry if my comment would sound callous. I think there is pretty tough conundrum here. There have been reasoned suggestions (like for example https://healthcare.utah.edu/the-scope/shows.php?shows=0_8hrf...) that the "ultra-clean world" have been leading to the current rise of autoimmune/allergies/asthma/etc. . Similarly, I think that it is very possible that limiting societal exposure to pets (starting from the childhood in the pet prohibiting apartments and going into pet-free school/workplace and other places) would condemn even more people to develop and suffer from condition like yours.
Just look into literature on any standing occupation, not constrained to just standing desks. There are plenty of hazards to take into account.
"there is virtually nothing in common between PHP and Erlang, other than them both being programming languages. The comparison is entirely fallacious"

I just disagree. When I was reading an erlang book for the first time, that was one of the first things I thought: this sounds like the architecture of PHP working against a database.

Hot code loading? I do that all the time -- just FTP the file, and the module will see that it changed and run the new version.

Let it crash? Sure, PHP can do that too -- one runtime exception on unexpected input doesn't affect the other requests at all.

By the way, I happen to like erlang and find PHP unpleasant to use and scary from a security standpoint. But I think a lot of people underestimate how good the PHP architecture was in a lot of ways.

Seriously, is this a problem that needs fixing? Are emotional support dogs really causing society harm? Being able to bring an animal to work with you, for example, has a positive impact on many people and animal's lives, and it in no way discredits or disrespects more skilled or necessary service dogs.

Maybe a good solution is to have a dog license with various levels of acceptance. If your dog is licensed then they must be proven to be well behaved in normal circumstances.
