I spend a while looking at debug information for NVPTX last year and came to the conclusion that it luckily dwarf, with some weird serialisation for the assembler.

The NVPTX backend would benefit imo to move towards the more general LLVM infrastructure so that emitting the dwarf info is not another special case.
> The testing pyramid works.

The testing pyramid is built around a lot of assumptions which are often not true.

For example I run our ~10,000 integration tests in under two minutes on our large enterprise codebase. In recent years it has become possible to have fast integration tests.

I've worked on other apps that take 5+ minutes just to start up and integration tests can take hours.

Applying the same testing strategy to both does not make sense.
Or going forward? What's wrong with smaller States? What if Catalonia is recognized as it's own country, yet still decides to be an EU member State?

They gain autonomy, and they function the same way they have been. I don't see the issue at all. Let people be free. Smaller governing/sovereign regions can have huge benefits, especially in Europe since they sill have the solidarity of EU backing.

It's not like they're separating because they want to keep slavery.

They have a better mandate than UK leaving the EU:

92% pro, from a 43% turnout = 39.56% of the electorate in favour of Catalan independence.

Compare to 52% of 72% = 37.44% of the electorate in favour of Brexit.
IANAL but as I understand it video games are IP.

What I'm suggesting is that if an IP is abandoned in a meaningful way (such as server support for a multiplayer game) then the IP owner should not be allowed to prevent others from replicating that functionality.

A few details still have to be hashed out though: can people charge for the use of their third party servers? Are new players required to purchase the game from the owner? What rights, if any, does the owner have regarding online configuration and interaction for a game they no longer support? If the owner stops distributing the game do they lose the right to demand payment for each copy distributed by a third party, either for pay or for free? I don't know these answers, but it's a better alternative to our outdated IP system.

"Use It Or Lose It" should be the IP motto in the Information Age.
Its kind of ridiculous to paint the future as binary. Computer augmented humans, better than robots, are also a clear possibility.
I've been using Vagrant + Virtualbox and have been happy with it. Is Vagrant + VMWare really that much of a step up in performance? Could you explain which features have been helpful? Thanks.
Vagrant gives you a full VM with a traditional init system. Docker is usually used without an init (or a very dumb init), so you'll have different containers for each service. It's a very different way of working, and I'd argue vagrant's is simpler and easier to understand, but less scalable.
Not quite that simple from what I understand. A week before the vote the Catalan parliament passed two laws, one that a referendum should be held and one that if yes to independence won, regardless of turnout, independence would be unilaterally declared. No way that the spanish government could allow that to go ahead unchallenged. Its worth noting that they have allowed nonbonding votes previously, there was one in 2014 with similar results and turnout. Its the fact that this one was binding that caused the crisis. https://www.economist.com/blogs/economist-explains/2017/09/e...
ROCm will make similar things possible! I prefer native codegen, CLArrays.jl is an excellent solution in the meantime.
"civil war", "genocide". Come on people, don't throw these words willy-nilly, leave that to bad news outlets.

Yes, the spanish government was quite brutal in its attempt to stymie the referendum (probably unnecessarily so) but we're not on the verge of a catalan genocide in any way, shape or form. If you keep abusing words they end up losing their meaning.
Not at all. The objective for a landing page is very different from all the other pages.

Landing Page: Make it load instantly so that a new user clicking on it doesn't get frustrated and close the window before it's ready to go. This is typically a static page. Note the tiny and heavily optimized google.com

Other Pages: It's sometimes necessary to load larger js libs gradually, but generally once they are loaded the browser cache makes their size a non-issue.

In summary: It's worthwhile to pay the cost of libraries, but that cost should not be paid by visitors to the landing page, and if the cost is high it might be necessary to load them in phases to preserve a good UX.
I think the real takeaway here is that advertising on twitter doesn’t work for shit.

If the referendum is invalid, even more reason to let it happen if you can't make it go away. Ignore it, make sure those friendly to you promote the idea of participating especially if you are against it. If "leave" doesn't have a clear victory, you can point to it for why you are against them leaving. If they do, your position is at least not worse than it is now, and probably better since you haven't burned most of the goodwill people have towards the government.

(It's my understanding that the laws passed by the local catalonian parliament that said things would happen as a consequence of the referendum result were thoroughly voided before the referendum due to being against both spanish and catalonian rules. At that point, one should be able to treat the referendum as just a poll to inform future politics)
The referendum was not just illegal, it was clearly rigged. The local parliament lack the power the vote for independence, that's just a farce.
Only the other side indoctrinates, didn´t you know that!?
> It doesn't say anything that RT should favour one candidate over another, in fact the presentation specifically promotes unbiased content and news.

All but two papers endorsed one candidate over the other. The NYT released an op-ed after the election admitting bias and promising some soul-searching. The media is biased, jaw-droppingly so.

Also, we can't see the Twitter ads so can't judge on the content. As a corollary, we do know that the Facebook ads didn't even mention a candidate and simply took a moral stance on social issues. Taking a moral stance on social issues is the bread and butter of the media. Go visit any news website right now and you'll see at least one example of this without even having to scroll.

It's both bizarre and fascinating to witness the anti-Russia hysteria reach fever pitch. I feel sorry for the USA in a way. It's as if you lost the ability to think about issues and instead all you do is feel about them.

Part of me thinks that deep inside many people know the Russia thing is nonsense but they need some kind of grand narrative to give their life meaning now that Trump is President. A distraction that reads like a Tom Clancy novel to satiate them - and allow them to rationalize their bewilderment at being so wrong - in between seasons of Game of Thrones. I'm not kidding.
I'm guessing "national police" referrs to Spanish police and their brutal suppression of the voting, not Catalan police.
This is really not a useful argument. Self determination is a natural right. The idea that it's against the law to seek it doesn't work when the people themselves are arguing they don't want to be under that law.
Well I am referring to public schools. Public schools are controlled by the local government, and there are lots of complaints that options for parents that want teaching in Spanish for their children, for example, are close to non-existing. The teaching language is mandatorily Catalan until age 12, and then onwards chosen by the teacher, which is appointed by the local government.

If you want education that resembles what is taught in public schools of the rest of the country, you need to pay for it.

I don't know if I'd move a project without scalability issues (and that's an important caveat) to Elixir purely based on the language facilities like pattern matching, but I'd definitely start one with it. Pattern matching alone is something I feel the lack of every time I get into a Ruby project these days.

For a project where scalability is a concern, I'd have no qualms about moving it over. At the very least I'd carve out the slices which most impact performance and implement them in Elixir and deal with the PITA of having two app servers. In a real world project with these kinds of issues I've seen some pretty huge improvements by doing this piece by piece.

And self-determination is the cornerstone of international rights, up there in Article I of the Charter of the UN.

For me, 70 out of 135 elected representatives is a more democratic mandate than the referendum. Not a fan of referendums.
You dont need outside support to declare independence, it is of no concern to those in Catalan what the US or anyone else thinks. The best course of action for the Catalan parliament would have been to call an election and then if they won it with a decent majority used that as their mandate to declare independence. As it is they dont have a solid mandate so it is easier for Spain and the EU to ignore them, however all those Catalans who didnt support independence may well change their minds if the spanish army comes rolling into Barcelona.
Yeah I understand the difference between the two but I was wondering why people prefer Vagrant over Docker for development environments.

The clear and obvious intent of that sentence was to imply their policies allowed ISIS to exist, and that they would not exist had the power vacuum not been created. This new literal reading of everything is just another part of the decline of our political discourse.

> I dunno about you, but income taxes take the biggest bite out of my ass.

If that's true, it's because you're in the top 20%. The average person pays far more in payroll tax than income tax, not to mention other taxes. Remember, payroll tax is 15.3% starting from the first dollar of income. There are no deductions like there are for income tax. And payroll tax goes down to 2.9% on earnings above $127,200/year.

The median wage in the US is around $45,000/year. A single person making that much money with no dependents and no special deductions will pay about $4,700/year in federal income tax and about $7,000/year in payroll taxes. Dependents and other deductions will cut the income tax amount but will not touch the payroll tax.
I won't split hairs with you on that, but -- right or wrong -- Spain's Constitutional Court ordered the referendum stopped, and the Spanish government moved to enforce that order.

What does the 1000 year history have to do with anything? If the people want independence now, that's all that matters.
Nonsense. Most of the big companies have left Catalonia last month. Half of Catalonia population doesn't want independence. Rule of law will be restored in a few weeks and all the thugs that have promoted this idiocy will be jailed.

Edit: to the person responding, you only see what you want to see. Police acted according to judiciary orders and there were no deaths and just a handful of injured people. Try to resist police in any other civilized country and see what you get.

Edit2: did you see the idiot father charging against the police with a child in his shoulders? did you see the police reaction? or the man that knocked inconscious a policeman throwing a chair at him? or the one kicking a fallen policeman in the head without provocation? did you know that most of the charges footage are old from mossos, not spanish police, from Chile or other countries? Or the girl saying she was tortured and forgot in what arm were the fingers supposedly broken? Real injured numbers are literally a handful, even The Guardian had to admit they've been duped. Of course nothing near the 800 mentioned in propaganda.

Certainly an argument in support of the second amendment of the United States.
People that are raising the red flag of a civil war aren't that far away from reality, but that would not be a civil war in Spain, but a civil war in Catalonia.

Catalonian independent politicians representing only a minority of the people voting have gone way far on their responsibilities and have caused huge damage to the Catalonian economy with hundreds of mid-large sized companies leaving their jurisdiction to other regions. It is only needed now that one of these huge companies closes (e.g. Seat) their factories to cause huge riots within the region.

Man, so messed up, so many interests. These idiots are playing with the lives of many people and they do not give a dime about it...

At a hackathon my team wrote an api for aggregating data on publications/journalists. We set it up to collect 'tags' that were descriptive of qualities that individual articles presented such as "no sources", "anonymous sources", "click-bait", "well-sourced", "professional", etc. The idea was that given enough time and submitted entries you could get a picture of how accurate a journalist/publication was over time. We were planning on having this database be curated a la Wikipedia/StackOverflow and allow for people to go back and check the veracity of claims attributed to anonymous sources to get a picture of how good a journalist/publication's anonymous sources tended to be.

Not sure, depends on neighborhood but definitely findable.
What does this even mean: "declared independence"?

Have they ordered borders to be closed? Bank accounts to be frozen until new currency is introduced? Have people started throwing their Spanish passports and their euros into the trash?

It just sounds like a lot like pure political manoeuvre without any kind of practical consequence.

I think a Europe of Regions is exactly where we should be going. The nation state has had its day; nationalism is a deeply divisive ideology, responsible for so much war.

The EU acting as a leveller and lowest common denominator between states weakens the divisions between nation states, deliberately - precisely because of the dangers of nationalism. And with a weakened nation state, regionalism is relatively more important.

As for tax, defence, etc.; IMO these will sooner or later migrate to the EU level. I don't think regionalism is either unexpected or avoidable the way the EU has been going.

The timezones would have to be much, much more complex than now.

The noon-based timezones change on the east-to-west axis; and the difference between two locations is static; i.e., if my noon is one hour later than your noon, then it's always one hour later than your noon.

However, sunrise based timezones would depend also on the north-south axis, and shift during the year! If my sunrise is one hour later than your sunrise, then at a different month my sunrise might be at the same time as your sunrise, or two hours later than your sunrise (depending on our locations) - and cities moving between timezones every few months is a bit inconvenient.
Interesting that this page title is "Videos of the Repression lived in Catalonia by the Spanish Police" while the video shows in most cases professional work of the force, especially considering the behavior of crowd.

I’m not a snapchat user and I’m tired of using Facebook and WhatsApp.

Something I realized about the difference between these platforms (Instagram being an exception) is that Facebook benefits from the click bait fake news articles on FB and WhatsApp whereas Snapchat benefits from its users sharing the most valuable moments (no matter how quirky or lame they may seem) that wee recorded on the phone.

That’s the reason why Snapchat users don’t talk about Apple Cider Vinegar as a solution to all health problems and many Facebook/WhatsApp users do :)
Thank you for these clarifications of the situation. It helps to hear from someone who has a personal connection to the issue.
The UK government did exactly that and got a no vote to the Scottish independence.

The Brexit vote was full-on farce, people literally had no idea what they were voting yes to. How could they, there was no plan.
Firstly Spain is in no better a condition now than it would have been had it allowed a vote and campaigned and lost.

Secondly, a more accurate UK comparison would probably be with the Scottish referendum, which was won by those who wanted to remain part of the UK and so Scotland did remain part of the UK.
I think it's actually a tougher call than you suggest, allowing the referendum to resolve could easily foment more unrest and a greater more violent outcome.

I would not have ordered such action, FWIW.
