Also the fact that OpenCL lost to CUDA for being stuck in C for so long, shows what most GPU devs actually prefer.

Aw come on, you're sure it has nothing to do with the largest GPGPU vendor pushing CUDA very heavily and intentionally gutting their OpenCL tools? Or putting out a ton of very high performance libraries with no OpenCL equivalent? Putting out a shitton of marketing and tutorial videos for CUDA only?

Yeah, that surely was totally unrelated.

Also pushing a proprietary standard goes faster than a standardized one. No surprise there.
There have been some attempts, I guess. Dave & Busters seems to do pretty well, but these seem to be targeted at adults and the games are nothing like the old days, IMO.

I feel like the arcade concept could potentially be brought back, but it would require some creative thinking.
Get-off-my-lawn sentiment aside, it seems strange that the author doesn't even acknowledge the vast field of text-based games that already exist, and that predate the modern retro fascination with interactive fiction. I'd love to see how their mechanics compare to the ones he worked out for his game.

The only actual argument this article makes is:

Multinationals could often put foreign cash to more profitable use in the U.S. by making acquisitions, building plants, paying special dividends or repurchasing stock.

But that quickly falls apart: First, Apple is in no way constrained by cash in its investments. And even financially weaker companies could still use foreign cash reserves as collateral to get credit at almost insignificantly low interest rates.

More importantly: investments can be expensed. If you hire employees, their wages reduce your profit, and therefore your tax burden. The corporate tax only applies to profit, not revenue. Apple could repatriate those $200 billion, hire ten million employees, and wouldn't pay a dime in taxes.

Other than that, it almost seems like an effort to use these corporations' tax-avoidance schemes as an argument to reward them. The logic in that is the same as striking murder from the criminal code to reduce crime

GP is a little jaded IMHO (but perhaps with some reason, if family members have dealt with melanoma—my experience has been different) but essentially spot on WRT to the supply and demand. The medical profession is protectionist to the extreme. Basic economic forces should see the supply of medical schools (and doctors that graduate from them) increasing, but the AMA keeps a tight lid on that, and specialization boards further distort the market.

With that statement you've shown yourself to be an arrogant dick so I stopped reading.

Maybe when you're in the mood to play nice I'll link you to some of the stuff I've written in Go over the last 6 years. Some of them are pretty cool - if I do say so myself - and definitely not beginner projects.

For what it's worth, we all have the occasional blind spot when it comes to semantics. Including yourself. So there's no need to be an arrogant dick the few occasions you happen to be in the right.

I'm in the process of moving a large legacy Rails app to GraphQL. I'm able to deprecate massive amounts of code.

We currently have a massive number of view models, which are responsible for transforming models or collections of models into payloads for consumption by various client endpoints. Each payload method takes a whole suite of options to allow us to select this or that subset of fields, or to eager load this or that join. In the cases where we have heavily disparate payloads, we've ended up with parallel several implementations of "here's how to generate a JSON object". It's a giant mess - it's worked, but it's a mess.

GQL completely eliminates all of that. Each payload specific to each view is now specifically enumerated via a GQL query. We basically took all our individual field helpers out of the view models and implemented our GQL field resolutions with them - the actual translation work was minimal.

The end result is that a) we have massively less code developing payloads and b) we aren't overdelivering massive amounts of JSON to client endpoints because implementation X happened to be a superset of the data that we wanted. It also solves the problem of "slow bloat" - you implement a #to_json for one view, use it, and later another view uses this, but needs to add an extra field. Now both views retrieve that extra field. Repeat this process over 5 years and multiple consuming views and you have gigantic payloads which are mostly wasted in any individual context.

We even still support our legacy REST API with this system - the app can act as a GQL client, making a query and then emitting the response as JSON. Our REST API is now just one specific, brittle subset of our GQL functionality.

As soon as you find yourself wanting to customize your data serialization per view/endpoint, GQL becomes extremely useful.

I’m not sure what this means. The OP was frustrated with something they thought we were doing, and I (as the engineer who wrote the actual code and knows what we do and do not talk about) wanted to set the record straight.
I agree the nurse absolutely should have answered your questions about the medication or gotten a doctor to answer them. It's just inexcusable behavior on her part.

Did the script say "P.R.N?" PRN means "as needed" in medical terms. It's an abbreviation for "pro re nata." Just for future reference.

I've also found that, for me, naproxen (Aleve) works much better than opioids. Opioids just make me feel very, very sick (from nausea). If they do help with the pain relief I can't tell over the nausea and vomiting.

But, yeah, YMMV.

On the other hand, there are countries that use national IDs to restrict the freedom of their citizens.

You can't base your reasoning about something like this solely on what's happening in some countries right now. That's how SSN mess started in the first place. They weren't intended as a global identifier, there were concerns that they will be used as such, but those concerns were ignored.

Also, I'm not convinced that spinning up a new ID system is necessary to solve the issue at hand.

I created an open source project called WarpSpeed for provisioning servers and deploying node, ruby, php, python, and html projects.

https://github.com/warpspeed/warpspeed

The project started because I had a need to get my code deployed quickly and easily with an affordable VPS provider like Linode or Digital Ocean. As a developer, I wasn't a fan of devops so I figured I would script everything so I only had to do it once.

The project has been through many iterations. I once had the whole thing written in ansible, but I went to bash since it is neutral ground. I released it open source because it feels good to share and get feedback. I now have sample projects in a lot of popular frameworks based on contributions of some friends.

I have done almost no marketing, but the project has seen some adoption with code schools since it makes the deployment process so simple. It also models development best practices by using git (push to deploy) and having a development environment that matches production (using vagrant).

I think marketing is hard for a lot of developers and creators, myself included. Everybody has something they are good at and being both a good creator and marketer is a rare combination it seems. I don't think this should stop us from creating, but perhaps it would be a good idea to partner with a friend that has marketing talent.

Thanks for offering me the opportunity to share here. :) If any of you give WarpSpeed a try, please let me know what you think.

The error here is attributing a linear cause and effect or purpose to evolution. There might be evolutionary pressure towards developing detection of certain things as bitter and an aversion to the flavor, but it's just one pressure among many.

The fact that so many people enjoy bitter things so much means that clearly the traits you talk about aren't universal or complete.
> We generally think it's ethically acceptable not to tell a child that they were adopted for a long while (possibly into adulthood), or not to tell a child that their biological father wasn't their mother's husband.

I would strongly favor honesty in both those situations once the child is mature enough to understand, except, in the latter case, when it's clearly in the child's best interest not to have a relationship with her biological father.

> We also find it ethically acceptable for a couple not to ask who fathered their own child.

That sounds to me like an extremely toxic relationship.

> We also generally find it ethically acceptable to form and especially continue relationships based on factors other than true love, including stability of a family environment and economic stability.

Those are at least real emotions and real decisions made honestly, not elaborate and unthinkably cruel deceptions.

Imagine you learned the person you thought was your parent, or sibling, or spouse, was really another person entirely. They never loved you, they never wanted to spend time with you, and all your memories with them were a lie. They were just a hired actor the real part of your family paid $50 an hour to deceive you.

It's hard to imagine anything that could be more painful. It's far worse than a death in the family. It'd be on par with learning your loved one were a murderer or rapist. It's like a particularly unsettling Twilight Zone or Black Mirror plot—I'm aghast that it's a real thing.

> My first problem is this: why exactly can't we treat companies the same way?

Under current tax law, US corporations pay taxes on any income generated in another country. There is of course a loophole with regards to re-investing profits, but in general, companies have a tax liability on any profit they make anywhere in the world.

In the article it talks about 3 different classifications of foreign income. Interest/Passive Income (has to have tax paid on it), non-reinvested income and re-invested (or promised to be) income. The 3rd category is the biggest loop hole, but the first 2 make a company pay taxes on that income to the US Treasury (after foreign tax credits). The third category basically is where all the deferred money sits - as long as the company promises it will be using that profit to invest in foreign parts of the company.

The incentives seem designed to make it not-so-profitable to have big rigs with lots of hard-drive space. That design seems to be an effort to keep the mining fairly decentralized so that it happens across a greater number of commodity machines.

But if available drive space and, as Bram says in his talk, even unallocated space, can be efficiently leveraged to back this cryptocurrency, this suddenly creates an incentive for the companies like Microsoft, Oracle, or even Symantec to start doing shenanigans in the background in order to mine Chia coins on billions of machines.

The only thing currently stopping them is the egregious resource-usage of extant POW-based cryptocurrencies. Plus, there are already cases where all those companies take advantage of users resources like screen real estate, installers, usage data, etc., when the resource usage is minimal (or, in some cases with Windows 10, even above minimal).

So if you make a fungible cryptocurrency that consumes less power and targets commodity machines, aren't you essentially asking the big players to battle it out to control the unused space across billions of machines? Imagine the annoying oscillation between browsers for default primacy, except that battle is now between language vendors, os vendors, device vendors, etc.

My point was that each $1 borrowed could be treated as repatriating $1 of foreign profits. Companies already report foreign profits and the IRS can discriminate between foreign and domestic profits.

So this wouldn't be taxing borrowing. If you had no foreign profits then you pay no taxes. The point here is that companies borrow are near-zero interest rates because it's MUCH cheaper than repatriating profits and paying 35% tax on them. I can't blame them for that either.

What I'm saying is that borrowing in lieu of repatriating profits basically is repatriating profits and should be taxed as such.

There is nothing preventing the x86 ISA to be extended in that direction. As long as all cores (oxen and chickens, as Seymour Cray would say) can shift binaries around according to desired performance/power, I don't care.

Binary compatibility is awesome for software that has already been written and for which we don't have the source code. Pretty much everything on my machines has source available.

The OS may need to be more aware of performance characteristics of software it's running on the slightly different cores so it can be better allocated, but, apart from that, it's a more or less solved problem.

Atoms didn't perform that much worse than ARMs on phones. What killed them is that they didn't run our desktop software all that well (even though one of my favorite laptops was an Atom netbook).

Have you ever seen a car try to go through a yellow light, it turns red just a hair too soon, and the car decides to hit the breaks. Often times the car ends up well into the intersection and they have to back up, forcing the cars behind them to do so as well. I’m not defending the action of that driver who ends up in the intersection - they are obviously in the wrong. However, having a car stopped in the middle of the intersection is a dangerous situation, the other human drivers recognize that and reluctantly back up.

Driverless software must recognize situations like this and adapt in order to win the future. We will not go from manually operated cars to 100% driverless cars overnight. They will have to prove their worth and/or superiority alongside human drivers for a long time.
