You know, I've found Frank Zappa's music to have a very similar property. Namely that there's a deep creative structure that winds through Zappa's music, especially across entire his longer compositions. For example, in "Willie The Pimp", there's a massive guitar solo towards last half of the song, that gets continually teased and played with earlier in the track. There have been other examples where I've caught "teases" to guitar solos on a track early in an album, that doesn't actually show up in full maturity until later inthe album.

I can only imagine that what I recognize as a singular theme is in reality much more broad (in so much as we can even define it), given Zappa's composition ability and musical prowess. There's so much to discover that lies under the surface of result of his creative process. I think Zappa gets a lot of credit because in general his music is more approachable (but still has plenty of weirdness across his almost 100 album discography).

Anyway, where I'm going with this is that Zappa and Captain Beefheart went in together on Zappa's "Willie the Pimp", on the "Hot Rats" album which is one of my favorite albums of all time. Interestingly enough it's the only song on the entire album that features vocals, which is noteworthy on its own. The vocals are provided by none other than Captain Beefheart himself. The vocals are kind of strange and certainly provide a unique component to the track.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xr256gta2Qw (Willie The Pimp) -- if you listen to that guitar work, there's so much to unpack just in that one track. It's self referential on many levels, and I'm sure I'm missing most of it.
This varies dramatically, some areas like Rittenhouse in Philadelphia has an average of 10%, while other locations have a 3% vacancy rate -- the national average in the US is typically 7%
That's patently false, and your example is a straw man. Sure your grade school arithmetic hasn't increased much, but I'd assure you university maths have.

As far as EE goes, I mean sure macro-electronic theory is pretty much the same, but micro-electronics didn't even exist 100 years ago. This is now a standard required class. Digital signal processing again, didn't even exist 100 years ago, now we teach it to sophomores. The foundations that were the same have persisted and the field has done nothing but expand; this trend is replicated across most disciplines.

The data doesn't support your assessment of declining analytical skills. The ability for abstract thought has been monotonically increasing for the past 100 years.[0] I understand the appeal, oh kids these days aren't disrupting anything, my job is safe. The issue is, there's not much data to support the platitude. Globalization means you're competing with billions more people, education achievement has to increase to match; or be left behind.

No, that is no longer true. Since Geekbench 3, results are comparable cross-platform.
For my next desktop build I’ve decided to go with AMD, except for GPU where I have to stick with nVidia because of CUDA. I would gladly drop 15% gaming performance, and invest saved buck into better monitor for example but CUDA is so much better than OpenCL, that I will have to go with Team Green on that front. Too bad si ce I would like to support AMD twice...
In Dallas, dockless bikes are nothing but problematic.

People have gotten in the habit of dumping their bikes on strangers' front lawns and laying them down on sidewalks without using the kickstand. There was a pretty public case of a blind man being seriously injured because someone left a bike just laying on the sidewalk.

In retaliation, much of the citizenry has taken to vandalizing the bikes. There are pictures online of people throwing them into ditches and creeks, people sawing the bikes in half, people turning masses of bikes into impromptu art sculptures, etc.

> At some point someone /probably/ got annoyed. I'd even wager money he's a running joke among the organizers.

That's fine, these things can happen. But being an a-hole about it is not. Just say it in clear text: "You came off as needy and annoying, please stop". Would probably be more than enough.

But the organizers probably didn't want their decision to be questioned or brought into a public light so they went silent and ignoring.
In fact, I do :-)
I'm unsure whether this is exactly grade inflation, but both of those graphs can be explained by increased access to information.

Obviously people studied before, but our collective information about these standardized tests has become readily accessible.

Now, general test taking tips, test-specific guides, and even full courses on tests are available to everyone rather than those who could afford a book or a private tutor.

None of those are donations, nor are they anywhere near being tax deductible.

Again, you're focused on a totally different issue. There's nothing wrong with splitting costs or reimbursing a friend who bought you something.

Splitting rent or cab fare, etc. is fine, but that certainly doesn't mean a H.S. kid can receive $50k in "donations" in his/her personal bank account without worrying about the tax implications. That's the issue the OP is trying to address.

My solution to the "find all the comments made on one patch" is variously (a) look at that email subthread only or (b) use a webinterface like patchwork (eg https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/938069/) or patchew (eg http://patchew.org/QEMU/20180629162122.19376-1-peter.maydell...). patches (https://github.com/stefanha/patches) can handle the tedious bit of collecting up all the Reviewed-by: tags people sent for you.

The key thing about any tool that's trying to improve an email-based workflow is that it has to interoperate with people still using the traditional "just an email client" tools. Better web UIs for people who want to use web UIs are something I'd love to see, but a big-bang switchover to a completely different format won't work for large projects, where mandating changes of tooling is a really hard sell. All the three tools I list above take the "interoperate with the existing patches-in-email transport" approach.

oi. Lets not forget you start with:

> If freedom and democracy were universal values then they would have shown up in some of the earliest cultures, which they did not.

We have a ton of resource from the Greeks because they wrote shit down. By invoking "the earliest" civilizations you're hiding behind a greater unknown because we lack an equivalent level of written resource until ~3500 BC.
So written resource becomes available 5,500 years ago and democracy has written examples available 2,000 years ago, 3,500 years after written record.
Ergo, according to your bullshit if something occurs 3,500 years after writing is established even though that was 2,000 years ago that means _nothing_ toward "universal values".

I can't believe you'd twist history like this to much such bollocks points. What the fuck does "universal values" even mean? We can barely trust the tablets we have and we have limited to no written record of societies beyond 3,500 years ago. But because of this window of 3,500 years between writing and democracy not appearing you classify it as "non-universal". You're full of shit by basing your entire argument on this window that conveniently fulfils it. Humans have existed for hundreds of thousands of years yet this 3,500 year window is all that matters to you. Dwell on that.

For reference, I am not arguing that democracy IS a universal value but just against that you can prove what is or isn't a universal value by cherry picking our patchy written record like you do.

Alex is a shit marker to be fair but gives a general gist for the rise of the Hellenic world. Examples of democracy within city states existed prior to 6 BC Athens but 6 BC Athens is the best known one.

Except now STEM courses are weighted as of 2017 in all GA university system schools:

Effective fall 2017, when calculating the HOPE and Zell Miller Scholarship postsecondary Grade Point Average (GPA), an additional weight of 0.5 will be added to grades of B, C, and D for approved degree level science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) courses

I think it's good since it doesn't affect their Institute GPA but can help them keep the scholarship. I knew a lot of people who lost HOPE/Zell and the increased financial burden made keeping their grades up that much harder.
It just generates a bunch of unnecessary comments in a thread. There's already like 8 in this chain for example.
I was thinking something similar. It might also explain the slow progress on the Pro and MB Pro as they wait for Apple CPU silicon to be reborn. Time will tell.
Would you prefer a self starter with a 4.0 GPA or a 2.0 GPA?
Intel was disrupted, for sure. Basically, I'm left wondering if there was some key brain-drain that occurred to Intel. Back in grad school in the mid 90's, most of the profs thought that Intel would collapse under the weight of the x86 ISA, but one prof knew people in Intel and told me about their roadmap going out to 2010, with plans for kicking butt. All of that played out! This shows amazing foresight. However, in recent years, Intel seems to have gotten itself painted into a corner with regards to die sizes, while AMD has strategically shifted to combining chips with smaller die sizes to increase yields and increase margins with more competitive pricing.

Something has happened with Intel, which has lost its vaunted intelligent "paranoia."
I assume y'all use CPLEX or GUROBI behind the scenes for the optimization stuff, or did y'all code your own engine in Rust?
Movies like The Scent of Green Papaya and 2001: A Space Odyssey use this idea, but in reverse: the directors chose to have uncomfortably long sequences where the viewer notices that not much has happened in the last several minutes of viewing time, and it imparts on the viewer the desired sense (of loneliness, of boredom).
I was referring to my experiences with hiring engineers. Throwing shade about people's education isn't cool.

In a competitive market the right price would be one which generates a positive but very tiny profit. These big payday lenders make money hand over fist though.
Good for what? Security thru simplicity. It's easy to make copies in postapocalyptic world, where you have only a typewriter. You don't need fancy tools to view it. Anything else?
Or just an email message mentioning the person. That's why I brought up the GDPR in the first place. My wife knew someone who was complaining against his insurance company, they were blanking him. So he put in a subject access request and in all the stuff he got back was an instruction sent to all customer service staff via email telling them to block him if he ever tried to contact them via social media.

The above happened under the 1995 DPD regime, the GDPR would probably be even more useful.

Yes, among many other hateable things MS has done to Windows lately, they've started adopting the bad ideas from OSS.

But, Windows also has the best hardware and software support of any desktop operating system by a wide margin, so if I'm going to use an OS I don't like I may as well use the one that lets me run the software I want on the hardware I have.
Interesting how we have designed the world for humans and now the optimal way for many robots to work is to be designed like humans. I always hoped for some more optimal design, maybe even something that can morph.

Thanks for sharing. Still curious how sustainable the lifestyle is if you're married, or if it's possible at all. Any thoughts? The folks in Phoenix out here can't make that type of money unless they're a Principle Software Engineer/Architect/VP or higher if they can manage to negotiate it otherwise it's reserved to management. Anecdotally, I've seen the CEO of Recruiting.com underpay his seniors heavily.
It’s like nobody’s even bothering to list the positive benefits of pushing children into the criminal justice system.
I won't do this justice, so I'll point you to the Rust book on this subject: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/second-edition/ch19-01-unsafe...

In short, at the moment, if you want a stable ABI, you must export an un_mangled C interface. This is easy enough. One of my favorite sites is this for FFI stuff: http://jakegoulding.com/rust-ffi-omnibus/

It covers a bunch of languages, and suggests techniques for overcoming any complexity in exposing higher order types.
There aren't only two options here. There's also the society I prefer where the guy is able to get a loan at a reasonable rate and he's properly informed of the risks/costs associated with that loan.

IL is a pretty crazy place.
The average home price going up more than 80% from 2000 to 2006 is extreme. The average home price going up 100% from 2000 to 2018 isn't that crazy. Maybe prices will go down, maybe not, I wouldn't call it a bubble yet. There are also a higher percentage of people living in cities, and I would suspect more people renting, which can drive purchase prices up for legitimate reasons.

That index is not adjusted for inflation.
I find the duplication of the complicated stream code to be an instance of avoiding premature abstraction; code requirements could change, they might need to be treated differently, and this makes it easier to customize later*

* I grant that in this case (har har) it's fairly trivial.
What's the difference between personalized and individualized marketing?
Between 2-40KB, the average is likely closer to 2-4KB (Gzipped JSON or Protobuf)
C is the common denominator for FFI for OS that happen to be written in straight C, which then mix the C ABI with OS ABI.

That is not true in mainframes, Windows (ongoing replacement of Win32 with COM, it is lot of fun to do COM in C, more so UWP), Android (JNI, AIDL), Web (JavaScript/WebAssembly), iOS/macOS (Objective-C runtime), Fuchsia (IDL).
Isn’t this “fake” politeness part of the German culture? I see it in everything related to business communication, from banks, insurances, public services, etc. Even from retail stores. That has been explained to me as being part of the etiquette for proper communication, which seems to be quite important in Germany, even if everybody I asked agreed that it was empty and meaningless.
He also totally ignores the i740 - not a major part of the story of Intel and perhaps a misstep, sure, but to act as if they hadn't tried to take a discrete graphics chip to market well before AMD bought ATi is crazy.

Also, he seems to act as if Itanium was developed in response to AMD64:

>Brilliant brilliant choice by NT team was the bet on the AMD 64 bit instructions. Seeing AMD64 all over the code drove them “nuts”.

>That led to Itanium…more proprietary distraction.

It was pretty close to the opposite. IA64 was Intel's plan for the future for more than half of the 90s, and the spec for AMD64 wasn't even published until 2000/2001 or thereabouts. Actual AMD64 processors came out about two years after Itanium. His quote to support the above assertion even mentions this, which confuses me more.
I haven't used the keyboard cover but just the basic Smart Cover, I constantly feel like I must be using it wrong. A lot of times, I am using it wrong unknowingly and after a minute or two the whole thing collapses.

Not to mention it's impossible to use the Smart Cover in portrait mode so holding recipes while I'm cooking means propping it up against the toaster.
