What the bloody flying everliving fuck??

Does this not seem absolutely absurd to anybody else? You'd have risked a severe infection for the mother of your newborn child had you known there was a monetary cost attached to not risking it? This is patently ridiculous, and it is inhumane that people have to make such calculations.

You go to the place with the people in white robes when you're sick. No ifs, no buts, no strings attached. This is how you keep a healthy, productive populace.

No wonder the US, the largest economy in the world, ended up with a terrible infant mortality rate…

… yeah. As a young person who's planning on having a family: I will go work in the US exactly never.

I must have gone full lisp weenie, because I find it ridiculous when remembering the days of being a happy java dev, waiting years for someone to include a syntactic change in the spec, all whilst crossing my fingers that they will include my use case.

Clojure macros have spoiled me with cond, condp and case plus whatever else I or the community come up with. And my half thought out changes are nicely isolated to a single project or library instead of baked into the language for eternity.

It was a different time - my understanding is that having a multiply redundant system was important for an isolated pariah state. Think of it like the strategic petroleum reserves in certain isolated states of today. Of course none of that was necessary once SA rejoined the global community. This extra capacity could have been carefully mothballed for later use; instead we are now building 2x brand new coal stations, each of which will be the largest coal plants in the world.
To add, I have almost identical numbers across the board w/ a delivery in 2017. My bronze plan is up to $1100/mo though and I get no assistance.

> If I lived in a more market-based system [...]

Unfortunately you can be vilified for saying this stuff in public. If you believe others, you are helping subsidize the poor and those with preconditions. In a market-based system you end up paying for what you need which, while it seems rational, is often considered amoral.
I am with you. Totally. I would only add one thing. Why does the (Mac) desktop client have to reauthorize while I am writing stuff and loosing what I typed up until then. Or even while being in a voice call.
The US as a whole pays about 3 times as much per person than most Western European countries, and over twice as much as the most expenesive ones.
Becuase trump attacks facts which people know are true from multiple corroborated sources.

But even that is wrong.

Firstly fake news is exactly that - actually fabricated websites designed to look like “the Sacramento beast” or what have you, filled with content that will sound legitimate to an American conservative and trick them into clicking on ads.

That’s fake news and it’s actually not even news, it’s more like surprise literature/acting to con people.

Trump on the other hand argues for example
that he has the biggest crowds, when he doesn’t by every device that recorded images of the subject.

Fake news is in this case is just a term that relies on the audience to impute meaning to it.

The Mercury compiler has a backend which compiles to C. This is currently described as "high-level" C, because the generated code sort-of (relatively speaking) looks like code that a C programmer might write. But back in the early days (mid 90s?) it emitted "low-level" GNU (not ANSI/ISO) C, which basically looked like assembly code for an abstract machine. Kind of like the "compilation strategy" described in TFA, taken a number of steps further.

One of the nice things about GNU C is that various GCC-specific extensions can be taken advantage of. For example ISO C does not require a compiler to optimise tail recursive calls, which are heavily used in functional (and logic) programming languages, where recursion is used instead of loops. It also lets you access CPU registers directly, and write inline assembly code.
Doesn't aspirin also contribute to less Vitamin C absorption in the body? For example: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6811490

I also remember reading an article that mentioned the 1800s led to adoption of artificial fertilizers that contributed to higher crop yields, but less nutritious fruits and vegetables. I thought these factors, plus WWI, led to weaker immune systems and great conditions for infections.
Think your compiler works too slow ?

"The programmer had to do everything: Write the whole operating system from scratch, design all the graphics, write the tools to do the graphics, create sound tools, and do the sound design – everything from scratch for every game….I’d write the code on programming sheets and turn it in to the typists who’d type them in to a DEC computer, then give us a tape with the resulting compiled/linked program. We’d then take that to a blue box [which used the FORTH programming language] for debugging. We’d mark changes to the code on a listing, give it back to the typists who’d edit our files and give us a new tape. Repeat ad infinitum."
I don't get you. You can still use the old syntax without the arrow and add your print before you break with a value inside a switch expr.
What issues did they run into with Cassandra? It's not easy to build a scalable database like Cassandra. There are good reasons to write your own distributed storage system but the authors need to add more details about Keevo and specific issues they ran into with Cassandra.

> the content just isn’t there.

It's there. You need to search for it. Raw diatribes like this are a window into the innermost nature of the human soul. My idea for a VR killer app was to have the camera attached to the front of a Red Bull airplane or snowboard. My friend, understanding more intimately human nature, realized it should be getting drunk, breaking into a bank and possibly getting involved in homicide. He was, sadly, right. I cannot morally follow that venture, but I know it is true. Here is a man that did, telling his story so that we don't have to follow.
Yes. Drum solos, affairs, and magic should make you question your sanity.

Anonymous inner classes are not proper closures as the other comment explained.
And as you noted the syntax is so abhorrent that their use is actively discouraged by the guava developers for example.
And all the source code pre-Java 8 that use anonymous inner classes to pass functions around was pretty unreadable.
This is amazing! Superb remake. :)

I’m happy and sad. Happy because MS Paint is amazing and now having it in web form is great. Sad because I was just talking about doing this this week for hackathon. I ultimately did something else, and probably wouldn’t have turned out this great.

It is often possible, but not always. The problem is that for cancer even a lot of that testing is either inconclusive and/or harmful in itself. So for every false positive, and even positive tests where the tumor will never harm the patient, there is a chance of active harm being done. Including causing death.

Early screening will occasionally save some. The question is whether it will save enough to make up for that harm if we increase the frequency of testing.
You probably missed the part below the first paragraph. You can have additional statements in case branches.
That's a great point.

Even the very word discussion comes from late Middle English (in the sense ‘dispel, disperse’, also ‘examine by argument’): from Latin discuss- ‘dashed to pieces’, later ‘investigated’, from the verb discutere, from dis- ‘apart’ + quatere ‘shake’.

We generally don't do a very good job of talking about things in way that brings those things, or us each other, closer together.
I heard that GCC supports more architectures than LLVM. Perhaps Rust having a C backend would make sense? On the other hand, I have no idea how tightly coupled to LLVM it is.
not cool enough to be used as clickbait any more.
If such a person had the credentials to back up their sincerity, then yes. A Chelsea Manning type who has suffered for their beliefs or otherwise demonstrated stalwart commitment to dismantling the security state would get my vote and money. A career politician riding whatever Zeitgeist there may be as a lesser evil would not. Surveillance and securitization may not be a big issue to many people, but it is a very big issue to some of us. At the very least, those representatives who continue to vote for the powers of these agencies (like in this previous 702 spying bill) will never see a primary or general election vote from me or my peers (who I can vouch for) regardless of how much "less worse" you are. I won't hold out hope that this is a popular issue but I would love to see someone take a stand.
Anyone who likes hákarl should try hongeo (홍어) in Korea. Such horrendous foods!
LLVM is used for optimizations in Rust. LLVM is more than just a nice way to target multiple backends, it's a very sophisticated set of building blocks for compilers.
Mind you, all types of foods from 3 star Michelin restaurants to kangaroo meat on a stick

Phrased like that, to me that sounds like you've only eaten quite normal everyday things :] Even for me, being from a standard west-european country, to make it sound like all kinds of food, you'd at least have to add some liver/kidney/eye/ear/cod liver oil/... Not that it would prepare you for the fermented shark etc, only other fermented meat really can.

Wayyy better than any lamb I've ever had

If you like that type of taste (vs standard industrial meat's), try some Galloway beef if you get the chance, preferrably from animals used to keep nature reserves under control (they don't get fed manually nor it's about large scale production there: a couple of them are slaughtered per year mainly for population control since they have no natural enemies). These are like 'actual' cows, they way they have evolved without too much human intervention, and don't get fed manually.
First paragraph:

>This simple privacy measure would create an opportunity for drivers to protect sensitive information about their travel and whereabouts from mass collection by law enforcement and private data brokers.
The unsolvability of the halting problems means that it is impossible to have a general algorithm that makes non-trivial statements about the behavior of a given program.

In the context of IA-64, that means that generally, the compiler will not be able to determine when it's save to use parallelism. We can only program it to use parallelism in a bunch of special cases for which we think it will be safe.

Given that simias originally asked for a simpler platform that we can trust in more, this seems to be a pretty strong argument that IA-64 is not that architecture.
I emphasised the “slowly” because c# has the reputation of being “a bad copy of Java”, while apparently the opposite is true given how long it took Java to copy closures and to produce a bad copy of LINQ.
I already read it :)

But I still don't see how it works .. this info can still be collected while you are driving. And what kind of info are you worried private data brokers will get out of your parked car ?

I find the the terms big endian and little endian confusing, feels like they should be switched around.

So the one that ends big (most significant byte last) should be big endian and the one that ends little should be little endian. But it's actually the opposite. It makes it difficult to remember which is which.
I thought it was interesting that the reports mentions some devices are compromised at the phone repair shop right after being repaired.
Exactly. The point of time boxing is that you have to stop and reflect on the time spent. It gives you the chance to switch tasks if priorities have changed or to split the current task.

Or to go on to the next sprint with the same task. But here lies the problem in many cases. The sprint is taken not as a time box but as a deadline. A sprint should meen: "You can work 2 weeks, 5 days a week, 8 hours a day on this. Then you stop to think."
In return you get a citizenship though.
I'm new to blockchains so I'm sorry if this is stupid, maybe somebody can explain to me.

Why do everybody needs to keep everything? The chain will be much smaller with just the id and the hash of the block. The payloads could be kept only by the interested parties and could be validated when needed with the chain.
Yeah if you can get that to work. It's usually a serious hassle.

Another issue is that with microcontrollers you are usually debugging really low level stuff like interrupts where you can't even do printf debugging. Or you are setting registers on some black box subsystem and it just won't work and the only way to fix it is just keep randomly changing registers until you find the one you got wrong, or if you're lucky find working example code and bisect from that.

Or you've got some timing sensitive code that you can't stop and the only debugging channel that is fast enough is toggling group connected to an oscilloscope.
Try to get out as I spend enough time in front of a screen during week. We're lucky to live 2min walk from Atlantic beach with great surfing.

Enjoy taking the family shopping, although I rarely buy much. I like the hustle and bustle and going for a coffee / meal etc.

During the summer I spend time taking photograph for my web site, half hobby half income generating but certainly my passion.

Now my kids are older and can be left I spend an hour or so at the gym, sometimes they come along and go swimming.

My wife works Saturday nights so I spend this time on whatever my current project happens to be.

Sunday nights my wife and I always watch a film together at home.
Play is important to keep me interested in programming - experimenting with new deep learning ideas, playing with webgl, writing pathfinding algorithms in unity, or increasing my scraping infra to more interesting datasets.

I leave weekends for whimsical ideas and intellectual chase the shiny-thing, it stimulates my creative side and gives me things to think about during the boring parts of the week
Huh. That's a pretty simplistic view, to the point of uselessness.

Voluntary segregation works to a degree, but the nation state model breaks down fast when you consider different groups within. Just look at the problems in Israel with the Ultra Orthodox people, they are hard liners on many issues (women's rights for example).

And what does European mean in the context of the US? Should they just pack up and come home and give the land back to the various native tribes?

Because currently the Nazi problem (white supremacy, racism, fixed gender roles, fixed family structure, fixed sexual orientation - but let's simply focus on the racism thing) is that radical progressives rattle the cage because they see the systemic injustice against natives/others. And reservations (giving [not taking, in this case] land to people) haven't solved shit, they're still hopeless addicts (alcohol/opioids/etc).

In this sense the problem is, that people have too little minds, they lack the big picture. Some people (SJWs) see the injustice and want to go and cuddle the addicts, and blame the people who are better off; whereas other people (alt-right) point at the addicts and have the audacity to sincerely ask "how much money do we want to pour into them?", while of course both groups missing the point that there's a reason why they are worse off.

Accepting that yeah, it'd be good for the natives as a group to "move on" psychologically - even if very strictly speaking it's their right to hold a nihilistic apocalyptic view of the world (after all, their world ended more than a hundred years ago [the last skirmish happened almost exactly 100 years ago in 1918 January]), or accepting that maybe there really was no dog whistling in the H&M jungle monkey hoodie, all of these, of course, doesn't address the current situation of easy to describe groups (like "inner city blacks") having serious problems, and the seemingly paradoxical treatment (give them enough welfare, so they can wither away their lives on cheap drugs).

Indeed, the rationally obvious strategy is to set up a nice and fair triage process and let that decide how much effort/resource should be allocated to solving/treating the problems of various regions, groups, substance abuse patterns, different manifestations of poverty and lack of social mobility. This way it might turn out that solving the problem of Appalachian (mainly white trash) abusing prescription drugs has a higher priority than solving inner city poverty. Or more likely it'll turn out that both need attention, both need resources, both present some high cost-benefit ways to reduce the problems, yet neither are completely solvable withing a generation, nor are either somehow morally more important than the other, but they are both severely worsened by ideologically muddy approach by previous (federal, state and local) administrations and power structures (such as perceived and real admission difference of universities between the aforementioned disadvantaged groups).
Previously whale meat often had a taste of cod liver oil because the fat oxidated after the whale was caught. These days the whale is cut immediately after it’s shot and then put on ice to prevent the fat from oxidating.
I've often wondered about albino's and how they got treated in prehistory. Many got persecuted and outcast from their community and is it possible they got driven out and away from the country away and thru interbeading played a part in what we class today as lighter-skin people, who may of very well been a driven north towards Europe etc.

Are you counting caesarean as normal or surgery? (or neither?) my understanding is that hospitals only do caesarean nowadays. Is that not true?
Well, police cars are driving around all the time. Tireless electronic eyes look out of the vehicle for plates, and records of every single one are made: timestamp, location, etc. The vast majority of the data collected is on people who are not suspected of any crime. But the data can be misused in innumerable ways. It would be easy to pick out patterns and then flag deviations, like the patterns show that this guy works from 8-5, but for some reason, his car was at a hotel from 1-3. On and on.

There are lots of reasons to not want this kind of omniscient eye on us. My favorite is that a lot of laws are wrong, and people are violating the laws righteously, and they will be vindicated by public opinion someday, but it's going to take time for everyone to catch up. We don't want perfect police. There needs to be some slop so that we can see where the laws are wrong.
Another language that famously took this route is Eiffel.

EiffelStudio uses a VM like environment for the develop-compile-debug cycle, and then compilation to native code via the platform's system C compiler for deployment.
I didn't say anything about cable leaks or what Manning leaked, that is a different conversation.
