> Not all platforms have Sufficiently Smart Compilers; I've got code relying on SDCC and TCC, for instance. :)

I'm pretty sure that it's not a matter of compiler brightness; the C and C++ standards are both pretty explicit about when the automatic and dynamic storages are used. If anything, I guess that it would be harder for compilers to allocate such things on the heap.

I checked and tcc doesn't allocate anything for instance for this code; neither does gcc 4.4 in c++98 mode :

int main()
{
struct foo {
int a, b, c;
char x[3000];
} f;
}
I used to work construction. I usually had to drive 15 to 45 minutes to get to a job, which could be almost anywhere. No way could I walk, bike, or take public transport. Cars are wonderful but I understand wanting to make them cleaner, more appropriately sized, and more efficient in general.
I'm happy with my response, although I understand that for a college with a lot of money to spend, the definition and mission of fellows can be quite broad.

To defend my position a little more, I was asking for a definition of the job of visiting fellow that was presented in a format that advanced the institution's mission. I found the Wikipedia page quite adequate in that regard. I also understand that people like their colleges with a diverse and outstanding mix of personalities and folks with unusual life experiences to share. I have no problem with that. I think it's a great idea. It's just that it's a sinecure. Nothing wrong with being honest about it. Manning or some military person is not going to visit Harvard and proceed to discover the cure for cancer. It's a checkbox both on their resume and the college's brochure.

I think it's a mistake to view this in terms of supporting or attacking either Harvard or Manning. The purpose of my question was simply to clarify terms of the discussion. It seems to me that there are two definitions of "visiting fellow'. One definition is based on the academic credentials of the fellow. The other is based on the type of experience the unviersity can provide undergrads by having somewhat famous people hanging around. I'm okay with that.
Thanks for the link.

From what I gather, Mastodon is to Twitter what Usenet is to Hacker News: Both provide a way to have text-based discussions in a threaded fashion, but Usenet is a protocol shared by many computers, whereas Hacker News is a specific piece of software run on (what is essentially, to all appearances, from the outside) a single, blessed computer.

Upshot: Hacker News can go down and be erased forever, modulo archival efforts like the Wayback Machine. Usenet can't go down.

Because in every economy we've looked at, gender income parity is strongly correlated with overall economic growth. In addition, research on microlending suggests that this link is statistically co-causal (improving either one improves the other).

If you prefer a more intuitive take, most of the attempts to dismiss the gender wage gap say things like "women take more time off for families" and "women choose lower-paying occupational fields". But there's no a priori reason those activities and fields should not be more remunerative than they are, and there is evidence that making them more remunerative is beneficial to the economy as a whole.
Suppose women get paid less because they work less hours (this is actually part of the reason); Do you suggest women should get paid more per hour simply on account of being born with a vagina?

What if women get paid less because they tend to pick professions that happen to be lower paying? (This is also true.) Do you suggest we just give them raises? What if the reason the profession is lower paying is because businesses in the field have lower margins? Where are they supposed to get the money for these raises, take it out of the men's paychecks? Speaking of, do you give raises to everyone working in the lower-paying field, or just the women?

See, I think the bone of contention here is that you assume the problem is women being paid less. Most people have no problem with women being paid less; Their problem is with women being paid less SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY'RE WOMEN. This is why very few people are comfortable with the solution of "just pay all women more." Paying someone more because of their gender is literally the definition of sexism.

Your above statement shows that you do not have any empathy or compassion for those people, as you do not want to give them the opportunity to earn a living wage. And I find it very dishonest of you to refer to collective bargaining as a handout, or say that if they are able to negotiate something, that it is more than they are worth. If they are able to get that deal, does that not mean they are worth that much?
Its the effect of the death of Feudalism. That was, I'll (because I'm of a better social class) decide where you live based on (current) socioeconomic status and historically, race, and I'll decide where you're allowed to work, shop, recreate, meet people, and obtain services such as medical care, based on how far you can walk on two feet. There's a desperate push to re-enact this, keep the peasants back on the farm and under control. Nothing could be more important than tying, say, political opinions, to the ability to obtain Uber or Peapod. Imagine the power of being able to literally starve someones family or strand them in the middle of nowhere merely for having the wrong political opinion...

How nuns changed the workforce
"Leaking classified military documents" is a negative (but somewhat legitimate) framing of what transpired. Her complaints and gender issues are just distractions from the important issues; I agree that they're irrelevant. (Similarly, it's unproductive to consider Trump's fashion choices or Obama's distate for mayonnaise when their policy decisions are what actually affect billions of people - but people will always highlight anything that can enhance their own position and detract from their opponents. Ignore the gender issues and complaints, they are meaningless.)

The alternative, positive framing is that she sacrificed a secure career to stop endemic corruption, war crimes, and violations of human rights described in the files she had access to. The cables and other files she leaked contained evidence of torture, of collusion, of abuses of power, and other atrocities, and bringing those into the public has hopefully reduced the rate at which those terrible things happen. On an individual level, rather than recognizing that she needed whistleblower protection, the government tortured and imprisoned her. Fortunately, a significant part of her sentence was commuted, but she still spent most of a decade in prison.

She has helped to prevent terrible crimes from continuing, and personally suffered for it. That's heroic and meritorious.

I feel like this is almost an apples-to-oranges comparison. Yes, public transit "competes" with cars, but...

Is the government subsidizing something run by the government really "subsidization?" It may be federal vs state/city, sure, but I don't see this as being a problem, especially since public transportation is beneficial in so many ways (costs people less money than car ownership, less harmful on the environment, less harmful to health, etc.). I do, however, see it as a problem when the federal government subsidizes private transportation, which is objectively harmful to cities (and most things in general, really).

> rider's fares typically pay for less than half the cost of running the bus/subway/light rail system

Let's not forget that drivers also only pay for half of the cost of roads[1]. If we're only going to pay for a portion of something, I think it should be public transportation. In my mind, the whole point of the government is to provide us with services. Providing us with transit makes sense. Providing us with spaces that we can only use if we pay a bunch of money to private corporations (car manufacturer + oil companies mainly) to buy large, dangerous, private, pollution-creating machines? I'm opposed to that.

I'm unable to follow your logic here, as there's a missing component of the explanation.

How does the CSO's multiple degrees in Music convey a lack of knowledge in the domain she was hired for?

It doesn't, because there's no information to derive there. I believe you are attempting to construct an argument that says that an offtopic degree disqualifies her to be a skilled practitioner by default.

This is wrong. The topic of someone's degree has no implicit bearing on their work experience before and after it.

LinkedIn shows endorsements by tens of people at each of her jobs in the specific labels "Information Security", "Disaster Recovery", and "Business Continuity". By that basis, she is perfectly qualified to handle this breach.

It's a political distinction, and linguists generally try not to make that distinction, using words like "tongue" (for the language/dialect) or "speech community" (for the people who speak it). cf. the way that Serbian/Croatian, or Danish/Swedish, are considered different languages, while the much more distinct Arabic and Chinese spoken tongues are considered dialects. (Note - Tunisian is considered a separate "language" in Tunisia, purely because of the way Tunisians view it. It's not actually any more distinct from other Arabics than, say, Iraqi or Moroccan.)

Or the way that Dutch is considered a separate language, while the very similar tongues that exist in Germany on a continuum between Standard German and Dutch are considered German (or Frisian, or Dutch) dialects.

It's not a new concept that's for sure, but this just seems like another VC fund with not much of a difference.

When you get past the fees discussion and everything else what you end up with is $600MM in capital to invest.

That isn't enough to buy a single unicorn, regardless of valuation, so you are buying a secondary stake, but then the shares you purchased still don't have liquidity until the company itself decides to IPO.

So this doesn't really do anything to improve the IPO landscape, and it's just a fancy shell for buying secondary shares.

Unless, through their purchase of secondary shares they are also going to receive updated financials which they will be reporting under their umbrella company. But without those other companies being public, the data doesn't undergo as many controls and scrutiny, and without a controlling stake of the company they invested in, they can't force much change or anything else, so ultimately you still end up with little transparency into the financials of the underlying companies.

If anything, this just delays the IPO landscape further as now there is another secondary market to sell shares, which means founders and other key people can cash out, and wait on the eventual IPO.

I think you have extrapolated too much about this, they were being overly polite I think when they called it negotiation.

When you are being issued a traffic ticket for parking in a way that is clearly indicated as wrong then you don't "negotiate" with the traffic warden; it is not their call and in fact you are just bitching at them and causing a scene. That traffic warden works for all of us to manage parking and traffic flow and is doing their job as directed. If you don't believe that the rule you have broken is correct then you should challenge the rule, in a forum where the rule was created (the city council, the local media, or whatever) or if you don't think you have broken it then challenge the penalty in court please and let the traffic warden get on with their job.

What this article is saying, is that this argumentative behaviour is undesirable. There was a lot they didn't mention, such as what a "strike" was, or whether there was any opportunity to have discussions about the rules which were broken. This kind of behaviour modification will not work unless there is though, and I understand that that should be in a separate context, away from the situation which caused the strike to be issued.
How Not to Land a Rocket – Elon Musk
The second loop will do O(N) comparisons. If the array is unsorted, each will be poorly predicted. The best possible comparison sort will do O(N * log(N)) comparisons. If the array is unsorted, each of those will be poorly predicted. So regardless of the pipeline length, sorting first will be strictly slower than operating on the unsorted data. Sorting first might help if you subsequently need to do something that will do more than O(N * log(N)) comparisons.

This is a great insight. Today's "apps" are more similar to terminal based services on a mainframe than they are to the 'applications' that were running on individual computers.

When you look at the architecture of the infrastructure for a Google or a Facebook you see what are essentially data center sized computers that you can walk through. We have a smart terminal called "web browser" that accesses them :-). And things like ChromeOS and Chromebooks take that to its logical conclusion. Oddly enough I got an early sense of this using a Heathkit H89 which was a terminal with an embedded CP/M computer. Where there was a CP/M program providing the user interface while talking over a slow serial link to a data server. Others got to experience things like the Minitel. Crude by today's standards but heading down the road we currently drive on :-).

The corporate challenges of having everything in the mainframe (competing with others for resources, paying a 'tax' to IT for running the mainframe even if you weren't using it, information accessibility that you did not control, Etc.) pulled PC's into business when people could do their jobs on them and didn't need to use the mainframe. Given similar sorts of pressures on "cloud" I keep wondering if the idea of a personal data center will take hold. In that model you would still use your web accessed services but they would run on equipment at your house rather than elsewhere.
Harvard withdraws fellowship invitation to Chelsea Manning
The world is a difficult place, isn't it. Nothing is black and white. Sometimes it's hard for people to understand that...
Not to mention the value of the land that is set aside for roads and parking. How much property tax is the city forgoing by dedicating that land to cars rather than homes or offices? How much cheaper would our costs of living be?

Also, a major reason costs of construction and maintenance on public transportation are so high is that they have to do it in a way that minimizes the disruption to car traffic. Yes roads are cheaper to build than subways, but if they could shut down a whole street and build light rail at surface grade it would be a lot cheaper (which is why streetcars and cablecars were ubiquitous a century ago). Or if they could shut down 4th street for a year, the Central Subway would be done already.
As I recall they tried that, but the problem was that some ads would use a canvas to emulate video.

I have disabled js global in Chrome, but had to enable it for a lot of sites. That is pretty simple for me, but most people are not computer programmers; still if you have the technical chops, I recommend it.
In NYC I see plenty of construction workers taking the subway every day.
I don't think she's a hero, or a villain really. I believe she did commit treason, and should have been punished far longer than she was. That said, I've met Manning, and I believe she suffers from deep psychological issues, both before her imprisonment, and certainly after. I think she needs help, and should've been confined to a hospital for her sentence, instead of the brig. We should not glorify those who break the law, no matter their justifications. The ends do not justify the means in these circumstances.

That's not simple, not at scale. It doesn't tell you who the new account is, match them up to the old account, unfollow the old account, automatically remind you when you go to @mention them, or otherwise make the transition automatic.

Simple would be the old account that you trust signing a message saying they're now the new account, and when your instance saw that message, it automatically moved your follow over, remembering the old account and using that as a hint to help you switch over.
