I live an puerto rican neighboorhood in chicago. People live here in combined family structure with many generations living in the same building.
I've become acquaintances with many of them and i've noticed that parenthood is much less of a burden for them since they have extended family to support them. Not just a matter of practical convenience but the immense moral and pshyclogical support you get from living next to your parents, cousins is immeasurable. I always see kids playing outside and everyone keeps an eye on them, you are not dealing with your kids 24x7 nonstop.

I am convinced that if you are going to reproduce this is the way to do it. Even though I make significantly more money than them I am jealous of their lifestyle :D . These parents take vacations without their kids, which I know many of valley friends think is impossible.
At my Korean company, all code is written in English and comments are in Korean/English.

They really haven't. AMD was so far behind Intel they were in danger of going extinct in data centers. Only very recently have they caught up again to be a credible competitor.

This bug and Intel's response is very good timing for AMD though.

I sympathize with the people, but why is our society like this? A society that punishes having children is almost by definition dysfunctional.
People are freaking out about this.

There are 1000 other cryptos that can move money.

Bitcoin is the only reliable way to hedge money against massive government inflation that we have seen after an African Coup or hyperinflation.
> we call white what we see as white.

Yes, but we're not naming our private sensation.

We arent saying "the flag is me feeling a particular way". We're saying "the flag has the relevant feature of making me feel a particular way".

The word "white" refers to a feature of the object. If I say, "is that paper white?" I am not asking if it is a feeling. I'm asking if it will cause one.
Correct. When we swedes say "chai" we actually mean "masala chai".
I think comments are in ascii, not unicode.
This is cruel, they never said it's a child they don't want.
Cloves and nutmegs may have been somewhat more widespread than just the Molucca islands, although the Dutch and Portuguese did much to try and protect their spice trade monopoly by limiting production to those few islands.

Visiting Mindanao island, in the Philippines in 1686, the Englishman William Dampier observed the following:

"...but the nutmegs this island produces are fair and large, yet they have no great store of them, being unwilling to propagate them or the cloves, for fear that should invite the Dutch to visit them and bring them into subjection as they have done the rest of the neighbouring islands where they grow. For the Dutch, being seated among the Spice Islands, have monopolised all the trade into their own hands and will not suffer any of the natives to dispose of it but to themselves alone. Nay, they are so careful to preserve it in their own hands that they will not suffer the spice to grow in the uninhabited islands, but send soldiers to cut the trees down. Captain Rofy told me that while he lived with the Dutch he was sent with other men to cut down the spice-trees; and that he himself did at several times cut down 7 or 800 trees. Yet although the Dutch take such care to destroy them there are many uninhabited islands that have great plenty of spice-trees, as I have been informed by Dutchmen that have been there, particularly by a captain of a Dutch ship that I met with at Achin who told me that near the island Banda there is an island where the cloves, falling from the trees, do lie and rot on the ground, and they are at the time when the fruit falls 3 or 4 inches thick under the trees. He and some others told me that it would not be a hard matter for an English vessel to purchase a ship's cargo of spice of the natives of some of these Spice Islands."[1]

Whether the trees were truly native to this island, or brought there from elsewhere, is probably not known.

The New York Times began outright calling Trump's statements false in their articles. They were anything but complimentary.
> These numbers aren't substantially different. Both have subpar returns. After 2004, Oprah--just like Trump--could have earned more money in an index fund.

You're just picking and choosing to get the comparison you want.

Oprah went from $0 -> billionare. If she'd investive passively, she'd still have basically nothing.

Trump went from something like $500 million -> billionare. If he'd invested passively he'd be ahead.

In conclusion: Trump is a shitty businessman, which was really my only point.

> Neither is growing like Facebook or Google. These numbers aren't substantially different. Both have subpar returns.

> ... it's probably a better idea to turn off the TV and start looking at the people building companies that are actually growing.

This is weird valley-think. Those people were lucky more than anything, being in the right place, at the right time, with the right skills. They're not supermen. Running the country is not something I'd want any of them to be doing. Running a government sub-bureaucracy, maybe, but only one without much policy-making power.
Counseling may have revealed an incompatibility. She married him and had a child in spite of her own desires, though. Perhaps her desire for that relationship would have clouded counseling as much as it did herself anyway.

>That case was one of the primary reasons I excluded the USA as my immigration target and landed in Canada instead (back in 2006 I was in a position where I could choose).

>This policy just makes my resolve stronger.

Canada (and the UK and Australia) has this same "give me your password" policy [1], too. They've even arrested re-entering Canadian citizens for refusing [2].

So while your decision may have been "noble", I'm not sure Canada was the right choice.

It's also possible to have a largely socialist government and still have private healthcare providers and privatized railways. It's almost like these aren't simple black or white issues.
"Never criticize, condemn, or complain". Does that apply to forum comments on the internet too? I also read Dale's book and wonder about this. I generally agree with you btw.
Well, I have three, and the oldest is going to be heading to college soon. So it's not a completely uninformed hope :) - though it is, of course, a deeply subjective one.
I read every word of it and agree with you. Also, the irony that most, if not all of the books mentioned end up pedaling another kind of 'self help' seems to be lost on the author.

Unlike you though I have consumed quite a number of self-help books for the very reason you stated: striving to be a better person seems like a worthy pursuit.

I also disagree with her statement that morality tends to get short shrift in the self-improvement literature. Whether intended or not, often the effect of such self-help programs is that one becomes, at least marginally, more understanding, patient, tolerant and accepting of others, in addition to oneself.
> I am convinced that if you are going to reproduce this is the way to do it.

I think that sounds awesome. Realistically not everyone has those choices though, and unfortunately I don't see that changing any time soon.

My family for example, is spread out across 5 states. My nearest relative is 150 miles.

Intel is also in trouble in the sense that they have multiple class action lawsuits filed against them regarding meltdown/spectre. Anything they publicly say will no doubt be used against them if possible.
I think Ethereum might be the closest thing we have to that today.

However, still things require an additional layer to get it to work in the physical world.

Lets not forget that this technology only became 'accepted' by the mainstream in 2017.

Before that, it was nerds volunteering to program various infrastructure.

Also, between accounting, finance, and taxes, implementing cryptocurrency for any fortune 500 company will add additional layers of complexity.
I try to always reply honestly when talking about having kids. And I'm lucky to only have friends who do the same.
Usually I say something like "It's really hard, but it's so awesome at the same time that you forget how hard it is all the time. In the end, you feel like it's worth it."
I confess I wasn't that positive when I was totally sleep deprived. I also have the impression that no two situations are the same... Some parents have it very tough while some others have quite an easy time with their kids. You gotta have some luck...
Forget about dysfunctional, it has no FUTURE.
That doesn't look like a hug at all.

Also I liked how with the MSN one you could say ({) and your friend would reply (}). There is something meta about closing a brace there too... Ohhh, nostalgia.
Anyone who had kids because they thought kids would make them happy is in for a bad time, but that's not what this is about. This is about narcissism and people not being able to learn from what is going on around them. Clearly even after kids the people in the headline of this story didn't understand life or how to live with others. Just the tale of their parenting lets you know that not only did they not have a good relationship ( claim of 90% of work by one parent, and spending most days carting the child around to "activities" ), but then the burden of this unfulfilled and damaged life is placed on the child, if you could do it again you wouldn't have a child, therefore that child will see it as their fault they have ruined your life. You can't hide those emotions for long and they end up with bitterness and resentment. The truth is even without kids the realtionship was not in good shape, and these people would have had an empty and shallow partnership. That is how human relationships work, when hard times come they don't break your relationships they revel them for what they are.

Motherhood or parenting or children aren't the problem, the basic breakdown of people being able to live and relate with other people is.
Spectre is not (at least not directly), a cross address space vulnerability (although it can be exploited in some cases from other address spaces).

A JS JIT running on itanium that generates advanced loads before bounds checks will be vulnerable.

It is true that it can be fixed purely by software changes, by simply avoiding issuing advanced loads [1], but then again software changes can also plug the spectre v1 vulnerability on OoO architectures by adding artificial dependencies on load-load sequences (see the WebKit mitigation article that was discussed here a few days ago). Both software fixes have potentially significant performance issues (more so on in-order architectures).

So yeah, in-order CPUs are less microarchitecturally vulnerable [2] to spectre by default, but the compiler tricks required to make them competitive with OoO CPUs might reintroduce the issue.

[1] In principle compiler issued prefetches and load hoisting can be an issue on OoO CPUs as well, but as these are less important for performance compilers can be more conservative. On the other hand some VLIW architectures have special instructions and architectural support (like Itanium ALAT) to make this load hoisting easier.

[2] There are in-order ARM CPUs that have been reported to be affected though.

> Declining fertility rates and older, more educated first-time mothers have also contributed to heightened expectations. The fertility rate in Canada has dropped from 2.1—the replacement level needed for the population to renew itself without immigration—in 1971 to 1.6 in 2016.”

It's interesting to contrast this concern (is concern the right word?) in Canada with articles about the same thing in parts of Africa [0]. The only difference being what side of the replacement level the population is on.

I don't like to say insulting things on this platform that values civility. But this is one of the most naive comments I've read this year. Perhaps I speak from stories, but many of the parents I know in my family aren't involved in their children's lives, abuse their children or just plain weren't in appropriate social and economic conditions to have children. Many, maybe most, parents are just not worth appreciating.
Good for them. I really dislike a lot of the cultural dogmas that exist (at least in the first world) about stuff like this. We have too many people on this planet already, and no you don't need to breed unless you and your partner are some sort genetic miracle. I think nurture is more important than nature, and if you really want to parent you're better off giving an underprivileged child an opportunity through adoption than breeding.
Kids today love socialism not because of their radical professors, but because of their radical politicians - namely, those devoting their political careers to destroying what little safety net remains.

It's a generation that has watched health care become utterly unaffordable, that no longer have any hope of the lifelong job security their grandparents often enjoyed, who are taking on a lifetime of debt in terms of student loans so they can ever hope to make much more than minimum wage, who despair of ever owning a home, who have watched more than 100% of all economic growth for their entire lives go to a handful of extremely wealthy people at the top of the chain.

Capitalism has nothing to offer them but chains at this point. The market has failed in one of its most fundamental tasks - getting people to have faith in the market. If an entire generation starts thinking that there's nothing in it for them... sooner or later, they'll fight back.

My biggest fear is that the fight could be a lot messier than mere single payer health care and free college.
It's like this because people are inclined to instant gratification. In America this effect with respect to raising children augments the inclination toward selfishness (disguised as individualism).
The eggplant emoji is used as stand-in for penis so be careful with that one. Could sink your career.
The main environmental impact comes from the plants high water consumption which for a grown up plant is a bit over 20 litres per day. Thats when growing in soil. Hydro weed needs much less water but doesn't taste so good.
What country even exists anymore that could really be called non-capitalist? Maybe North Korea or Cuba? That's about all the ones I can think of.

There seems to be a few ways around this issuie:

1. You could create a programming language where every keyword is a symbol: http://ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/cis/article/view/23904. This is what mathematics does.

2. You could also create a programming language where every reserved keyword is a special type and then expose that type to the programmer. Thereby allowing them to reuse that word just with a different type then the reserved keyword. This would come with a lot of complexity costs however because now you don't know if your generated AST is valid until the typechecker.
The first section on cache timing seems off.

"The one which is being read is cached, and the exception will be raised much faster as a result."

I only read the project zero post, not the paper, but I don't recall it having anything to do with timing of exceptions. I don't see the point or relevance of this section.

Might be missing something.

Edit: mixed up Meltdown with Spectre, I'll take a closer look at this later
The ramifications for a purely capitalistic country would be very harmful as well. Would you prefer all military, police, fire, etc be privatized? Do you think that would have an effect on your life? You realize we are not purely capitalistic. And the majority of people in this country fighting for "socialism" are not fighting for pure socialism.
I totally agree with you. I have a 5 year old - I love her, she's great, and if I got to choose again I'd do it all over. But the first year is the hardest I ever worked. We knew it would be a lot of work, but nobody ever talks about just how much work it is with any kind of detail. Parenting has a lot of good, but the bad parts really do suck - lack of sleep, running to the doctor, the ER trips, etc.

The story I usually tell my friends who are just becoming parents is about this one night the first month, we were up constantly most nights. I don't remember on this particular night what I was up doing, it's not important, but what I do remember is being in the bathroom, sitting on the can, and looking down and seeing the floor move under my feet. Vividly. However, that memory sticks as a turning point for me - I didn't have a whole lot of self doubt about doing a good job as a dad after getting through sleep deprivation induced hallucinations!
No problem! ;)

Origins of the Sicilian Mafia: The Market for Lemons
Russian reporting in. I think everyone here who writes code knows Latin alphabet. It's just a basic requirement - it's a given that if you want to code you'd better learn English, let alone alphabet.

In schools, kids learn to code using Algol-like language with identifiers in Cyrillic (essentially, Russian) abbreviations, e.g. "нц для i от 1 до n" rather than "for i := 1 until n do", but even here you see Latin letter "i" ;) However, it's not uncommon to just go with e.g. BASIC or Pascal.

There is also de-facto standard accounting & ERP software producs from 1C which use Visual Basic-like language with Russian identifiers like "Константа" for "Const", etc. It's widespread in its domain, but not used anywhere else. 1C programmers are sometimes (half-jokingly) considered to be of a different caste. Sort of like COBOL programmers, maybe, or - probably closer - SAP developers.

I don't think anyone has any serious issues with basic English language for identifiers. Literature, documentation, discussion - here, language barriers do matter (a lot!), but not for programming languages themselves. That is, unless someone wants to show off as a true hardcore Russophile, of course.

Code comments, identifier names and e.g. log messages are different matter. I don't think there is any common practice for this - more like a matter of personal preferences. Some try to stick with English, some use Russian or transliterated Russian (mixing it with some English) liberally so it's not uncommon to see something like `log.Error("Дом не найден %s, %s: %s", ulica, nomerDoma, responseText) /* TODO: Добавить поиск лучшего совпадения */` in their code.
My social skills have gone down after I took an office job. When I worked remotely I would go out in the evening and do things and meet people. Now after 9 hours of noisy office and 90 minutes commute I am exhausted and do nothing after work. I feel like a work machine.

I think is fairly weak of you to create a throw-away account because you are afraid to stand for your opinions. Be a man or woman, not a coward. That said:

> If it makes you so uncomfortable to think about black people (on average) having a lower IQ than white people.

People who make this statement always, always, always use the thoroughly debunked "IQ Map" (https://iq-research.info/en/page/average-iq-by-country) as their source. It is based on data fabricated by Lynn and Vanhanen and jotted down in their book IQ and the Wealth of Nations.

> What about black people's domination of most sports?

Even if we assume that is true (which it isn't -- 972 medals were awarded at the 2016 Summer Olympics and only a fraction of them went to (really) "black people"), why on earth would domination of most sports imply low IQ?

Claiming a race is inferior to another based on faulty information is racist.
This is honestly one of the biggest factors that we did not fully appreciate.

Moving away from home and having kids away from your family is a much bigger task than having kids in your hometown where all of your family lives. I get that it's normal mode of operation for a lot of people to move all over the country for jobs, but IMO that is where the biggest struggle comes from.

You take for granted being able to call a grandparent to pick the kids up from school if you're working late, to come over for a bit when you need to do something during an evening, to drop the kids off if you need to run an errand or even keep them overnight if you have to go out of town for work. That's before even figuring in extra-curricular activities and trying to get each child where they need to be.

My in-laws moved closer to us last year and it has been life changing for my wife and I who both work.
The Eternal Mainframe (2013)
Everything has trade offs. I've mostly worked remote for the last ~15 years (last job was partially remote, this one is all remote except one meeting a sprint typically.)

This article does a pretty good job bringing up the issues I came across early on, but there's way to mitigate all of these. Some of them are cultural fixes for the company; don't hold it against people when they are slow to respond to chats. It doesn't mean they aren't working hard, it might just mean they needed to poop. Stuff like that.

Some are things you have to do yourself if you need a change; for me going out for lunch is a big one that helps avoid fatigue of constantly being at home and helps me have social contact because I arrange to go to lunch with friends or family at least once a week.

Another one is that I have dogs; so I have company here at home with me. That might not work for some people but it's something that helps me.

Lastly, we do pair programming at my company. So I'm on voice chat with people a lot during the day.
I suspect the main reason it's difficult is because of the individualistic nature of western nations. In a society where people live with multiple generations of family raising children is probably much, much easier.

Add to this the fact that everyone wants to have the best schools, houses and things in general, and the income that's necessary to get and maintain said things and you see that having modern children is a trap.
