Because if you don't like the idea you don't have to by the security.

And, as it happens, so many people own equities passively (through a managed mutual fund, or an index fund, retirement account and the like) and ownership of a company is so diffuse, these provisions have little impact in practice except against another large entity.

I'm not defending the practice -- I think it is a bad management practice myself and don't buy stocks with such provisions -- I'm simply responding to your comment.

Not disagreeing, but want to add that heart attacks are usually a result of an inflammatory process within coronary artery walls (as opposed to plaque building up on the outside of the wall). Inflammation in the artery wall leads to plaque buildup (to repair it). If that plaque breaks through the artery wall (the intima) into the bloodstream, a clot forms leading to a heart attack.

With C# 7 out vars are IMO actually now much more ergonomic to use than tuple returns.

if (TryGetSomething(int param, out var value)) {
// use it here
}

If you returned a tuple you'd have to destructure both variables, and have a separate line for the if and the declaration.

By the way, I read comments to decide whether to read an article or not, mostly because i could read a few comments before the article has loaded anyway. And I do prefer to read (and take part in) dialog, instead of reading monologues.

Exactly. I completed 5 out of ~50 courses I have ever enrolled in. One of the courses I did not complete was instrumental in getting me into graduate school in a field unrelated to my formal background. Focusing on the completion rates misses the point.

I adhere to the ironclad rule that before committing suicide, I get stoned, put in a good 1.5hr aerobic and resistance workout, eat a couple slices of pizza, take a nap, feel great.

16 years ago, before adopting this rule, my strategy for coping with stress was to eat and watch TV or play video games. It was pretty obvious to me where that road ended. Weed is my gateway drug to a healthy lifestyle + pizza. It's illegal, but so is everything, so who even cares? I'm in good shape and I don't have to worry that there's no way out when stress piles up, which it still does.
I gave this same advice to a friend suffering from stress in grad school. He was clearly in trouble... I invited him to spend the weekend in the countryside with me, shooting broken equipment and smoking up, but he felt he had to study. He killed himself at 8:30pm that Sunday evening. Psychology is counter-intuitive. Weed can be the key to being more intelligent at a healthy weight. The correlations found in the study may be explained by this. I think they are, in my case. Alternatively, perhaps weed just addled my brain and made me a successful and dedicated coder, entrepreneur, and machinist, by some insanely unlikely chance. Perhaps even it caused a marijuana-related tumor that is powering me? That would be copacetic.

Chaos Craft – Minecraft AI Genetic Learning Neural Networks – v0.1 – Gen 0
One thing I don't fully understand is why these accelerators all have relatively small memory sizes? Is it purely because of cost?

The most expensive Tesla accelerator I see in this list has 16 GB, which sounds like a lot, but it's 'only' twice as much as the consumer-level GPU I have in my PC at home, and it seems like a pretty paltry amount for large-scale simulations. I'm thinking about volumetric modeling applications, for example, where storing a dense voxel grid as a volume texture would easily run over 30 GB even for quite modest grid size/resolution (e.g. 2K x 2K x 2K grid). It's exactly these kinds of things where a GPU accelerator could shine, without the need to implement spare sampling solutions or accelerator data structures that would be complex and severely impact performance on GPU architectures.
Your project is great! When will they be ready for consumers? Will they be available in the US?

Those are nits compared to the vast amount of nutrition advice which has remained stable.
There may be some tiny amount of truth to this. Red meats contain more L-Glutamine which is required for muscle growth. It is the most abundant amino acid in our body. That said, taking more of it will also feed tumors by increasing the production of HGH. An extreme example of this is performance athletes that take human growth hormone. Those with tumors meet their demise rather quickly because their body did not have time to terminate the cells, or could not keep up with the growth rate. This is of course an extreme example. Red meats only contain enough L-Glutamine to increase your HGH on a much smaller scale.

Not necessarily. People make fun of Java, but any half decent Java place, especially the ones using Maven, won't have this problem.

Maven is quite verbose and it forces you to pin a lot of things down. Where it doesn't outright force you, the general practices are to pin them regardless.

All the dependencies are in the same immutable Maven repo (or your own proxy/cache), all the build tool extensions/plugins/etc. are there as well. Java is generally very good at backwards compatibility, as is Maven itself.

So you can come back a few years later and do a :

mvn clean install

and things will work.

Of course, humans are fallible and things could still break due to various factors, but in this sense the ecosystem helps you and either offers stability already bundled it or guides you towards achieving it.

The downside: Maven is boring. Developers don't like boring :)

> Amazon's phone might have flopped, but they've eaten the Android tablet market.

What? Kindle Fire initially did really well, and Amazon was briefly no. 1 in Android-ish tablets and no. 2 in tablets behind Apple, but they’ve lost marketshare and others (mostly Samsung) have gained, largely on the back of the official flavor, rather than AOSP-derived versions like Amazon's, of Android.

> Tablets are either iPads, Surfaces, or Kindles now.

This would be closer to true (and in order of sales from most to least) if you said “Galaxy” in place of Surface.

> I don't know what Android tablet would be in next place after the Kindle.

Samsung sells more, in total;Amazon may have the highest selling individual model of tablet powered by an Android or Android-derived OS, but they don't sell the most devices.

> I know the Samsung Galaxy Tab line exists but I've literally never seen one.

I've literally never seen a Kindle Fire, and I saw three Galaxy tablets before I left my house this morning. But that's just anecdote, the more relevant thing is marketshare reports, and while different reports have the figures differently (and often breaks out only by vendor and not OS, and makers like Samsung have more than one tablet OS since convertibles are usually counted), but consistently across reports Amazon is significantly behind Samsung in tablets, e.g.:

I was just making a narrow point about construction of homes in the US. People that want to live in exclusive areas pay a lot for land, others not so much.

And for homelessness, the problem isn't really that housing costs a lot to build, it's that no one wants to build it. This is probably true in a lot of places that aren't as wealthy as the US.

The town planning commission here just rejected a $10 million project that was mostly low income housing. Some of them had the brass to come right out and say that they didn't want low income people living in that part of town and some of the others used the "historic character" of the shoddy commercial building presently on the site as a fig leaf. One guy dissembled, saying that the project should happen somewhere else. But of course the developer has a different set of concerns and won't necessarily be willing to make the same investment in a different location.

I spent nearly 6 years homeless. I am American and have about 6 years of college. The hoi polloi didn't want to listen to me as to what I wanted.

I found the degree to which I was given a deaf ear rather harsh. Other than my lack of money, I am essentially one of the hoi polloi. I'm even recently decended from low level German nobility. My maternal grandmother's maiden name started with von and the family sold the title when it fell on hard times.

But I'm poor, so I must be an incompetent dolt who has no clue what is best for me. I'm quite confident that prejudice runs all the deeper towards people who have more differences than just income from the powers that be.

Even in something like Go which has this kind of concurrency in mind, performance critical code is often written with the more traditional "threads & locks" approach with the goal of using the ideal number of goroutines to maximize hardware use but no more than that.

Not saying that other concurrency models don't have the throughput for a AAA game, but when your goal is to get the most out of the hardware of one desktop/console you're going to have different priorities than a server environment.

There is also less risk associated with purchasing gaming GPUs for mining, as some cost can generally be recovered in the event of a crash through resale. Especially now, where cards like the 1080TI are going for, what, double price, if you can find them.
