I still remember when Eclipse jumped the shark. It was always a complex and somewhat bloated IDE, but once you learned how to use it, it was fast and had plenty of useful features, refactoring was a breeze, etc.

Then they did that major UI redesign TFA mentions. I remember thinking "I can't believe nobody cares that this is slow, nothing works and the UI is unusable. It used to work!". Then I read the Eclipse forums and found out that there was a major UI redesign with no automated testing and very little manual testing, and the reason was "unfortunately there's no budget for testing". This was the word of the actual official devs, by the way. They decided to do a massive rewrite without testing. It boggles the mind. I guess the lesson here is "don't redesign something if you can't test it works", which really shouldn't be a surprise to any software developer.

Then the other nail in the coffin was when refactoring in Scala was so broken as to be unusable -- yes, I'm talking about Scala IDE, the "official" Eclipse-based IDE for Scala. Refactoring methods was sometimes so broken it actually inserted gibberish; I don't mean it got confused, I mean it actually inserted unparseable code, random parens and extraneous symbols. It was embarrassing. I think it got better later, but by that time I was already using IntelliJ CE.

Do you have a good source on how clocks work in modern designs? From the high level down to the actual circuits?

I've always wondered why you can't generate clocks locally, but in a synchronized way. So basically like clock regions, but without having to add extra logic for data that goes between regions.

Why? That seems like a broad restriction that we don't apply to other things like "Your fingerprints partially match some prints at a crime scene" or "You drive the same car as a suspect." People can and do end up in a police lineup for being the same gender and living in the same apartment complex as a perpetrator; I think that's reasonable, because a lineup isn't a conviction.

There's a world of difference between evidence submittable at a trial and evidence making someone worthy of suspicion and further investigation. I agree the bar on the former should be high; the bar on the latter being low on average leads to faster perpetrator identification and a safer community.

The VC obviously got what they wanted, so take the hint. The only recourse you have at this point is legal- something like tortious interference with contract if you can prove they poached your customers. You might be able to put together a fraud case if you can prove the loss.

I'm not sold on the "population implosion". Eventually, some subculture will reproduce at a higher rate than the predominant culture and gradually become the predominant culture. You already see the beginnings of this in the United States, where Mormon and Hispanic (i.e. predominantly Catholic) birthrates exceed the rest of the country.
With Stack Overflow, its also important to remember the 0th impressions of people finding the site through google.

Finding material that is off topic but preserved for some reason is often cited as a negative experience. The "I searched for XYZ and it was closed as not constructive" (note: not constructive hasn't been a valid close reason for several years).

This brings up the question of "should that material be findable on Stack Overflow if people are having such poor experiences when finding it?" and "are people finding the closed questions of yesteryear a disincentive to participate today?"

The finding things closed as a duplicate sign post isn't working as intended with redirecting them to the proper question - because when there is an answer to the question (that may or may not properly answer it) it prevents the logged out user from getting redirected to the duplicate.

This mindset is so insane to me. You've got one of the biggest foreign policy wins in a long time staring you in the face, and you've got the Korean President, the Japanese President, and the Korean foreign minister all agreeing that the Us Government had a strong hand in making all of this happen.

Somehow that isn't good enough to admit that maybe the country with the biggest military, the largest GDP, and a president who has at least claimed committment to helping find peace in Korea could have had something to do with finding peace in Korea.

What would it take? If Kim Jong Un himself writes a book titled "It was all Trump", then every person in South Korea, China, and Japan all write personal letters to Trump and the American people thanking them, are people still going to entertain these wild conspiracy theories that somehow everybody in the world is lying, and that they have some secret knowledge on this topic?

> That description can be embedded in the number. If you use ASCII it’ll be pretty obvious.

In that case, the knowledge that information is encoded in that specific number and the drawing attention to that fact is the illegal metadata. In other words, numbers are just numbers - until you draw attention to specific numbers with metadata, that's when you cross the line.

If you make a website with a prominently displayed huge prime number with flashing lights and arrows, you've added illegal metadata that says "try decoding me" or "I am probably a cryptographic key to something"
They weren't saying all people who study theology were religious, just more likely to be religious. Priests generally do need a bachelors degree and it would make sense if they gravitated towards theology vs other degrees.
I’ll echo what another poster said. I was one class shy of a religion minor in college, but I’m an atheist (although was raised catholic). To this day, I spend a lot of time learning more about theology, and it’s entirely independent of my personal religious opinions.

I’m not sure how strongly correlated the study of theology is with personal strong identification of a particular theological belief.
At some point an inflated sense of experience is necessary to succeed in starting your own company. You have to literally believe you are capable of having a real impact. Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, etc. All were told at one point "you don't have the necessary experience for that." Or "are you fucking crazy?" Or something meant to challenge their experience. The hard realization is that none of them had the experience...but boy did they sure earn it.

Point is: arrogance isn't the curse you might think it is.
Think you're referring to religious studies / history of religion / philosophy courses? 'Theology' studies usually refers to the courses taken to become practitioners of a particular religion - it's what you study to become a pastor / priest or the equivalent in your chosen religion.
That is most probably with a plugin; there are a number of plugins for vim that provide varying amounts of multicursor support.

> Theology is the study of religion.

You may be thinking of religious studies. Theology is basically the study of Christian beliefs about Christianity. Or more generally the study of what people within a specific religion believe / practice.

Religious studies is an actual academic field, theology is not.
I'm curious, why do you say it's unfortunate? (Don't get me wrong I am also of that opinion, more or less, so I'm just curious about yours)

I use eclipse because it is better supported by most companies. In my company they already know about eclipse complexity and have tools to help with it. Intellij might be better, but in many places you need to be the local guru, which is fine if you want the extra responsibility.

The article is based on a false premise. The government does not make any bits legal or illegal. It prohibits specific human actions: copying, selling, using, etc.

Bits have no color. But human beings do different things in order to develop different bit sequences. Take the bit sequence corresponding to a movie. The bits have no color. But that’s irrelevant. What matters is what you did to get that information. If you can prove that the bits came from an RNG that’s not copyright infringement. Likewise, if you recompress a file you copied and totally change the bit sequence, it’s still infringement. The law doesn’t care about the bits; they are tangential to human actions.

Saying that “certain bit sequences are illegal” is reductio ad absurdum like saying that laws against battery amount to making certain sequences of muscle fiber contractions illegal. The law doesn’t care about the muscle fibers that contracted; that is entirely incidential to the fact that you punched someone.
Looks like that's exactly what they did...

>Lead investigator Paul Holes, a cold case expert and retired Contra Costa County District Attorney inspector, said his team’s biggest tool was GEDmatch, a Florida-based website that pools raw genetic profiles that people share publicly. No court order was needed to access that site’s large database of genetic blueprints. Other major private DNA ancestral sites said they were not approached by police for this case.

>"“GEDmatch exists to provide DNA and genealogy tools for comparison and research purposes,” the site states on its policy page. “It is supported entirely by users, volunteers, and researchers. DNA and Genealogical research, by its very nature, requires the sharing of information. Because of that, users participating in this site should expect that their information will be shared with other users.”

>“If you require absolute security, please do not upload your data to GEDmatch. If you have already uploaded it, please delete it,” it continues. “While the results presented on this site are intended solely for genealogical research, we are unable to guarantee that users will not find other uses.”
I don't know specifically about InteliJ, but the product price is usually the lowest cost of a closed source solution. I work in a government owned company. We have strict procurement rules that we must obey to buy things. Beyond the procurement bureaucracy, now we have to manage how much licenses we have. The install of a new instance in a user machine must be tracked. A user can't by himself install the software, we must have specialized persons to do it. To setup test and/or disposable environments is a hell. If we reach the maximum of licenses, a high payed employee must spend time searching for who is not using the software to uninstall, and surely the person won't be available.

The price is probably the lowest cost of a closed source solution.
There are multiple ways to vastly increase Intellij performance. They also have 'Auto-share Settings' feature so you can keep a whole team in-sync with them through a repo.

tweaks like:

- they added their own custom property that speaks for itself: 'editor.zero.latency.typing=true'

- it runs on a JVM, so update the JVM settings. (Like most apps, they ship with defaults that assume you're running your IDE on something with the memory of today's phone)

- disable all unused plugins

This comment might seem like evangelizing but I find Intellij to be what an IDE should be in many ways. It would be nice if there was a feature to use more performant settings. But that's likely a rabbit-hole to auto-determine for all variety of customer env. Maybe something to make people aware of their options at least would be a middle-ground.
Oh, wow, thanks for the detailed response! I see that it makes sense for Matrix, and I hope you people all the luck for creating the next XMPP.
Reunification efforts in the late 1990s and early 2000s were complicated by the shift in US Policy from the Clinton to Bush Admin. Clinton's admin wanted to support the so called Sunshine Policy, which favored moving towards reunification.

For the US's part, they agreed to not re apply new sanctions on the North as long as the North continued to operate within the parameters of their Sunshine Policy negotiated with the South. That was what was happening, but then Bush came into office and this policy changed. New sanctions were put upon DPRK and they would eventually be included in the Bush Admin's "Axis of Evil" (Iran, Iraq, and North Korea).

This caused the North to go back on its agreements and the Sunshine Policy as a whole, and did also align with more conservative governments in South Korea.

All that said, I was smiling so big last night seeing the two leaders shaking hands, smiling themselves. A reunification of the 2 Koreas would be an absolute blessing upon the world. Many people in the North and South long to be reunited. Not to mention the ease of so many tensions in SE Asia that would come from 1 Korea.
I think most people are aware where it came from. ;)
Well, yeah, context is a thing.

Flirting in criminal court and at funerals are also probably bad ideas.
I'd like to see whether there's a correlation here between gender imbalance in the particular subject and the marriage rate. I suspect theology is a heavily male-dominated subject, since a large number of the associated careers are either formally male-only or traditionally male-dominated.

I'm wondering if this might be a case where the men outnumber women so much that a high proportion of the women in the field can easily find suitable men to pair off with without going further than their college.

Checking whether other male-dominated subjects have similarly high intra-major marriage rates would test this(I don't know what they are, offhand, but I suspect a lot of STEM subjects might be there), and also doing the gender-reversed study (where it goes by the first marriage of the husband) might get similar results with more female-heavy subjects.

> Can someone explaing why it's important to increase the density instead of increasing the size of a CPU?

* Yields: silicon wafers have regular manufacturing errors. A bigger die means more failed CPUs, grossly increasing prices. Smaller dies isolate those errors better, leading to better yields. Lets say there are around 20-errors per wafer. 100-chips per wafer would result in ~80is to 85ish successful chips per batch.

If you shrunk the die so that you had 500-chips per wafer, then you have 480-chips after manufacturing (20-defects).

Wafers are a constant size. Errors are relatively constant as well. You can't change those numbers.

* Power: Smaller feature sizes use less power. Smaller capacitance, so the signals travel faster and generally speaking the design can be clocked higher.
Yes, as you age, the risk/reward balance begins to shift - sometimes slowly, sometimes all at once. There are paths out of the trades though. You can start your own small (plumbing/building/etc.) company, hire people (younger ones) to do the heavy lifting, and essentially "move into management." Or you can take some of the money you earned, go back to school, and change careers. I know someone who injured his back digging trenches, and while recuperating from that injury, started teaching himself computers. Now he works for a state agency and sits in a chair.

Nothing is guaranteed of course, but the question was "Who considers 55-60k 'high paying' especially when the job contains potential life threatening risks and other health issues?" and the answer was "Young high-school grads for whom that's a lot of money and for whom the health risks are not quite as bad." That's a very general answer that deliberately doesn't offer any opinion on whether they are right or wrong in thinking that way. And obviously the less young they are, or the more money they want, or the less risk they tolerate, the less true the statement is.

> Isn't this logic programming (ala prolog)

Kind of, though it's not exactly the Prolog flavor. In Prolog you also define such facts and rules, but then you only derive new facts "on demand". That is, if you ask whether Bob is the father of Jane, the system goes off and tries to find out whether that's the case. This is called "backward chaining" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backward_chaining).

In contrast, the system as presented takes a set of facts and rules and automatically computes all of their consequences, before you ever get to specify what questions you want to ask. This is "forward chaining" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_chaining). One similar system to the one presented here that implements forward chaining is CHR (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constraint_Handling_Rules), for which several implementations exist... including in Prolog.

Both approaches have certain advantages and disadvantages depending on the application in question.
