Great work by the Clang team, well done!

I'm a bit surprised to see that build times in Clang are worse, and that resulting binary performance is comparable.

Maybe that will change when the Clang build starts to use LTCG, as the article mentions.
> The Panic web servers have a single connection to the internet via Cogent.

Say no more. Hope this company gives their NetOps department the requested budget next time. Would have been extra credit if they started monitoring their download servers for TCP retransmits and grouping it by netblock to look for trends (or just move it to the cloud where it's someone else's problem)

I think that would be the definition of a placebo effect. Headaches and yuck feeling when eating food you perceive as dirtier/less healthy.

Maybe you should get two of your friends together and do a double blind test. Have one of your friends go shopping, take the vegetables out of the bag, and write down which is which. Then have your other friend who doesn't know which is which give both portions to you and see if you can tell the difference. It would be interesting for sure.

I think we were just not on the same page with regard to OP's comment: "limit wealth"

You interpreted this as "hard limit", I assumed they just meant limit using tiered tax brackets (i.e. status quo). And, I assumed this is what you assumed.

The top-level comment in this thread advocates zero income tax; it's clear now this is not a position you are defending. My bad.

That said, I fixed your original comment...

Some states, like New York mandate public pension funding and do pretty well. There are issues with pension spiking for public safety positions, and some municipalities have had to bond to make payments, but as a whole the system works.

The formula is simple, don’t allow skipping out on liabilities and have an independent entity administer the plan. In New York, the state comptroller controls the pension funds as well as 529 plans. This avoids the issues in many states and the private sector where executives raid the funds.

The other issue with the anti-pension crowd is that people need to live. So no matter what you do, the public ends up paying for things like subsidized housing, healthcare and other entitlements that impoverished elderly people end up needing without adequate income. I think will start to appreciate this phenomenon when the wave of 50-somethings purged by the Fortune 1000 start qualifing for Medicaid.
Excellent work. I like to ignore visual studio completely and pretend it doesn't exist, but that's just me :)
I've used cygwin's cross-compiler x86_64-w64-mingw32-clang package once in a while, though I find more projects' build systems choke on it and do the wrong thing (libgmp as a notable example) than with x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc.
The GDP growth rate is quite steady and nowhere near 7%, so I do not see how the stock market can produce higher returns indefinitely - otherwise P/Es would go to infinity and labor's share of income would go to zero. It seems like a perpetual motion machine.

> failed to fulfill several key contractual obligations

I don't understand how you can attach strings (i.e. conditions ) on gifts, telling the receipt how they can or cannot use the gift.

> In the suit, the Pearsons declared that they had lost all confidence that the University would be “an appropriate or capable steward of the Pearson Family legacy” as it had allegedly failed to fulfill several key contractual obligations that were agreed upon when the gift was made.

This would be akin to telling my dad that I will gift him a car for his birthday, but on the condition that he can never sell it or rent it out or re-gift it to his friend. If he doesn't do as I say, I'll sue him to get the gift (car) back.

Or is it that corporate gifts are not the same as personal gifts?

If you can reduce everything to _one_ mutex, that's simple. As soon as you have two mutexes, you need to start worrying whether one thread grabs A then B and another grabs B then A. In larger projects with multiple people contributing, the mutex and condvar approach does not scale well. It's very easy to get difficult to reproduce race conditions.
Patents were originally invented to prevent knowledge loss due to trade secrets.
Judging by his verbiage such as "In the beginning", and "behold", I would say yes. I rather enjoyed the tone.
> Given that stop-the-world pauses are never evenly distributed throughout time

That is not a given. And, even distribution is only part of the equation. If they are sufficiently short, then even being somewhat unevenly distributed should not have much of an impact on latency. For example, if the max length of a pause were 1ms, and 99p latency were 15ms, you'd have to be fairly unlucky to see a 33% increase in latency99 due to GC. That would entail 5 of 25 pauses happening during a 20ms period in a 1s window.

(This idea is not purely hypothetical. For example, Go's GC has very low STW periods.)

> It's pretty much accepted everywhere

Eh. Apparently everyone thinks C is the best language for cryptography and other secure but not particularly perf sensitive code. Go figure. Sometimes the wisdom of the masses is not wisdom. Best not to appeal to it during argumentation.

The strategies being employed here look similar to those of xi (CRDTs for multithreaded buffer representation) and neovim (separable backend and frontend). This is definitely a project I'll be keeping my eye on.

Another thing that's interesting is that if they're targeting a web-embedded editor (mentioned as a goal), they could possibly reduce the need for a full Electron install, possibly using the Rust web-view bindings[1] to link with the system web engine.

Whether OP peanut it or not, patents “incentivize” innovation with a terribly simplistic model of what that involves. The difference between “innovation” and “implementation” is like the difference between a business and it’s business plan. The motivation to regulate it is obvious but the results remain difficult to defend in light of the associated problems introduced.
From the article it seems like they wanted to make sure the money was going to good use and it wasn’t.
Sadly I do something similar for Amazon Music. I don't have the bundled flash player in Chrome enabled and it won't use web based drm on Linux browsers, so I use a user agent extension that tells their site I'm on Windows and it works fine.

You're not addressing the question, though. This was not a contract for services rendered. It was a gift.
No. We have the 'Age Pension' [0], which is the equivalent of your Social Security. It kicks in once you're 65 and not working (much), and pays up to $23k a year (which IMHO is enough to live on as long as you own your own home). The funds for it come out of general income tax.

"Superannuation" was the 401k-alike system started in 1992 which has the 9.5% minimum. You can choose your investment allocation, and there's a bunch of tax incentives if you choose to contribute extra.

developing in Java with awareness of the GC doesn't mean tracking allocation and deallocation of memory, it means developers should avoid allocating lots of new Objects when possible. In practice this means creating view, cursor, or offset type Objects that map to arrays of more primitive data types.

No, on two counts.

Firstly, we begin with a power imbalance, we're not on a level playing field.

Secondly, there's nothing inconsistent about both parties being able to create an unwinnable state for the other. As I stated earlier in my comment, the most likely outcome is no dealing whatsoever. The only rational alternative is an agreement whose effects we can both perfectly foresee.

> For example I never liked the taste of conventional celery; some bitter aftertaste (pesticide residue?) and just bland

Bitterness is normal in celery though the degree is manageable by techniques that are orthogonal to non-organic vs. organic status. To the extent that there is a non-placebo difference, it's probably that your conventional supplier is more devoted to rigorous labor cost cutting then your organic supplier, which is likely to become less and less common for randomly chosen organic vs. non-organic as organics become more and more mass market and less upper-middle-class niche.
You can assign any terms and conditions you want on a gift. That happens outside of business and academic environments anyway, but notionally it's not any different from any other transaction.

UChicago didn't have to accept it. They chose to accept it, with the associated terms and conditions. The way the article reads, it looks like there's blame to go around, but possibly more to UChicago than Pearsons.

I've always felt like the inevitable conclusion of Atom and other electron based apps is the reversion to using low level compiled languages.

I'm starting to get tired of how much of a resource hog Atom is.
Switched to Linux about 5 years ago. Most of the popular distros have converged to being very similar in that time. In the choices between modern OS's (once you've let go of all the habits each enforces), satisfaction depends on how well your software needs are met.

For everyday needs, Linux has a lot to offer. If your needs include sophisticated, specialist applications (EG audio production), you'll want to look closely at what's available. Generally there are far fewer options, and they all may fall short of your professional requirements.

I've settled on XFCE as well. Xubuntu and Mint 18 are both stabile and solid.
> It's pretty much the same security model as regular web content, as you mention.

I can't say much about IPFS, but this is not quite true of Dat. The Beaker team is working on a complementary set of APIs to read and write to Dat archives, so you could have, say, a TiddlyWiki-like site that can update itself.

It's always been a big problem that the security of file:// URIs is unstandardized. I can publish a repo, for example, that includes some tests/runner.html. You could open it Firefox to run the automated tests, but Chrome will choke on it because Chrome doesn't allow XHR for file:// URIs. The only way around this is to either put it online or run a local webserver (e.g., `python -m SimpleHTTPServer`) and access it through localhost. This is perverse. Dat is solving this in a way that's very similar to what would happen if file:// got first-class attention from the browser makers. If it's in a Dat, it doesn't actually matter if it's on your computer or hosted somewhere. All that matters is that you have the content.

This might not be exciting to HN types who are comfortable and willing to go rent some DigitalOcean instance and put up with administering it, but this will have a huge impact on the long tail of businesses—both small and large—that are quietly chugging along on little more than Excel and email (maybe the odd SharePoint installation).

On the other hand, developers should be excited about this, too, because it means they can start building apps that are _actually_ serverless (compared to Amazon and Google's definition). We're back to where we were in the 90s: you can go write some neat client software and share it with me, without having to think about the headache of needing to run a server in perpetuity just so that it can continue being useful.
Typically gifts, most often endowment gifts, are given to benefit a specific purpose (ie spreading fine arts). I could understand how there could potentially be obligations put forth to meet the original purpose of the endowment.

It's hard to tell. One of the Pearsons' (the donors) complaints is that two of the faculty hired by the institute are junior faculty from lower-ranked institutions -- these institutions being Columbia and NYU. Perhaps the Pearsons wanted the institute to just poach tenured faculty from Harvard or whatever, but this hardly seems negligent on the director's part. Perhaps they know of additional evidence that explains this more.

The second complaint is that the contract stipulated a conference of some sort needed to occur at the institute by October 2018, and the resulting Catholic conference was unsatisfactory to them (it sounds like they disliked the conference's emphasis on heterosexual marriage).

It's hard to tell how reasonable these complaints are from the outside, and how much of it is donors who don't know much about universities trying to micro-manage a gift after the fact. For what it's worth the article claims the Pearsons have lost a similar donation case before.

Yeah, change the world seems to be synonymous in practice with making it worse, when it’s not espoused as a goal. When it is an explicit goal it’s synonymous with pathetic ambition and a desperate need to feed the ego. If you want to change the world, VC funded tech is unlikely to do it. If you want to change the world in a positive sense, it’s not as easy as throwing a metric ton of money me fragile ego at the problem.

The homeowners in Charleston SC found that in the aftermath of Hurricane Hugo in 1989, the craft skills weren't available to repair their historic homes.

For boring but optimized meals for nutrition and cost more people should really look at what bodybuilders eat. When you're a competitive bodybuilder every calorie counts and every meal is planned and carefully calculated. Now, most of you don't need the same volume of food and the protein amount is going to be higher than what your average sedentary person needs but still provides a great baseline for getting in the right nutrients and balanced amounts of fats/carbs/proteins.
>This is because the number of people who buy normal lotion is 1000x the number of people who buy unique specialty lotion. Why would the advertising be different than the market?

No, I can't imagine anybody randomly buying a random face lotion online, and I say that as somebody who did a stint in adtech for a few years with access to "crown jewels" of a major advertising brokerage conglomerate. People barely click on FMGC ads even if being force fed, I would've shown you the digits if not for NDA. Their purpose is impressions, even if they are not explicitly billed on PPM basis.

The lion share of ad inventory of any tier 1 ad vendor are for "stuff people buy in Walmarts," and yes the total revenue from FMCG ads is mind boggling and defies any attempt at rational understanding.

Even if the sole point of an ad is to keep the product on top of somebody's mind, it will be of very very little payoff to an advertiser. Though, one can reason that a gigantic big fat FMCG co. bathing in cash can still easily afford doing so even if is patently stupid. This is because even if their bang for buck is approaching zero, it is still better than none for them.

>This isn't true. For lotion you buy lotion related keywords, for commercial equipment you need in-depth research about those products, use cases, industry terms, and the queries people use.

I counter your argument. In both cases, the adtech efforts needed to sustain a barely functioning campaign eclipse all other hurdles. Extreme targeting is the key - even if it sucks, it sucks less than investment in almost anything else including £1k per hour big name marketing consultants.

How it looks on technical side: huge effort at industrial scale purchasing of "cubes" - huge databases of cookies with their statistical and fuzzy logic data from thousands of companies, including the black hat scene. Other than cookies, analogous data come from email list vendors, IMEI/phone number db vendors, vendors of stolen contact lists, search histories, GPS data and etc. All of this is barely enough to for a sustained campaign for F500 FMCG.
