They pay the tax they are legally obligated to. You can't expect any business to pay a penny more than that. It's on the lawmakers to remove the loopholes (which they and their friends probably exploit as well, so good luck with that...)

We don't take calomel anymore, but it was used for over a century more, including in "teething powders" until 1954. There's a 1965 "Perry Mason" episode in which an attempted murder victim is given lemonade laced with mercuric chloride, with the dubious idea that this will be written off by investigators as a product of a reaction between his habitual calomel and a very weak acid.
Finally, freed from the oppressive words we take out of context and force change onto everyone else because we're offended. Thankfully we can all write code again.
I have a half-baked idea that some alien planet's marketing team is probably using pulsars as an advertising stunt. "Relax on Risa" and the like. I don't know how one would go about modulating a pulsar's output, but pulsars are seen everywhere.
Thanks for the detailed and thoughtful feedback. I'd love to get on a call with you to discuss your needs and some of the items on our roadmap. If you're interested, email me at jepling@microsoft.com.

We're working on the design for autoscaling self-hosted agents. We call it "Bring your own subscription". Ya, it needs a better name. You can read more about our thoughts here. https://github.com/Microsoft/azure-pipelines-agent/blob/mast...

We're adding CD/release features to YAML pipelines right now. I'd like to chat about the features you want to see first since we're prioritizing.

Docker layering caching is something we're discussing. There are some trade-offs with it vs. other approaches.
Kotlin, Swift, Rust, Scala, and TypeScript still have small user bases. Java, C#, and C++ are the most prominent static-typed/compiled languages. I see no evidence the first 5 listed are eating into say Python, PHP, and JavaScript.

>"But that doesn't matter, because non-replicable research is still non-replicable research"

Exactly, the people who say direct replications are unnecessary are the ones fostering an environment for fraud. To the scientist it doesn't matter much why you couldn't describe what you did well enough for other people to repeat it. Maybe you made it up, maybe it depended upon the (unmeasured) magnetic field in your room, whatever.

Some of the ugliest parts is happening now and "you" are not openly talking about it (Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Africa, military bases all over Europe, Asia, Latin America, etc).

American government is killing thousands more people yearly then Chinese for a long, long time.
A note on this, my doctor tells me that sitting for a long time will ruin your lower back and will cause problems in the future if you are not proactive and minimize it. This is an absolute fact so keep that in mind. He sees it constantly in his older patients.
Quite the opposite, my friend. I'm a humanist. IMO each bit of energy expended in the search of aliens is an opportunity cost to do something real here on Earth. So while you get excited about theoretical space jellyfish (or colonizing Mars, or the Second Coming of Christ (not you, specifically, just in theory I group these together)), I will excite myself with the alleviation of human suffering and preservation of planet Earth.
With the technology in the "The Three-Body Problem", the aliens can monitor all the solar systems they like with sophons and then whack the dangerous ones with projectiles fired by the nearest space ship.
The Kings have learned - between unrestricted surveillance and a far better armed military, any hope of sending to the aristocracy to the guillotine probably ended sometime in the 40s.

Not to mention it's been learned to label those sorts of revolutionaries as "terrorists," among a lot of other social engineering tricks.

I should note - I'm not for lopping off anybody's heads. I'm just saying the shortlist of solutions for a trapped peasantry class has grown quite slim.
> This is China. Search results are censored and people are fully aware of that.

Having Google censor results could create the false impression that search results are censored similarly in the US as well.

At what real economic cost? GDP, we’ve discovered, is an accounting method that doesn’t account for climate change, for example.

Maybe that doesn’t agree with your politics. How about all the people harmed by China’s wars? What about its own victims, like victims of the Great Leap Forward? The latter happened within its borders, but that reduces the denominator.

A one child policy reduces the denominator too. What would China’s population be today, its per capita GDP, if the denominator was larger?

Fine, don’t angst about faked numbers. But do you seriously believe that the GDP per capita isn’t massively hacked to the benefit of the CPC? And even then, is the average Chinese still being below the American poverty line something to celebrate?

Just because the number has grown doesn’t mean it would not have been higher in a free society.
> Aren't most people actually asking for less regulation, especially less strict zoning?

No. People who want to do things that zoning doesn't permit are advocating certain things under the banner of "less regulation". It's not clear they actually have thought through the consequences of less regulation; it's just that they think it will get them the policy outcome they want.

Years of going from idealized to actual implementation experience tells us that the most likely thing to happen is .. something other than what proponents have in mind.

Most people who live in those homes don't want a major change that will destroy the values they find there. People advocating radical change for the most part explicitly plan to harm their interests and take pleasure in the prospect that they will be harmed.
If you want to do it you might as well use the star itself it won’t be that hard to encode a message into the light emanating from the star itself you only need a sufficiently large polarizer or anything else capable of modulating the light coming form the star.

Any civilization that would need to communicate even across a few 100 light years would be capable of doing so.

This. This applies to your post as well, don't you think?

> Let's not even mention the story of how the US was made - with guns, by individuals as well as the state.

Let's not, since I don't think there's a country in Europe (bigger than Monaco/Lichtenstein, ofc) or even in the whole world, that wasn't made "on guns".
HAProxy has been and continues to be one of my favorite tools because of features like this. Stuff where you might have to start digging around, say, arcane and fragile Apache rewrites, becomes a series of surprisingly readable functional-like statements that make reasoning about the implications of those statements easy. Even for HAProxy newbies, they can get going really fast and have the confidence that their changes aren't going to lead to major breakage because of its readability.

Just today I deployed some haproxy acls to transparently partition traffic for new API features off of a customer's main legacy application onto a dedicated cluster of API machines. It still surprises me just how easy doing something like that is. The most difficult part of that process was remembering the business logic--to append a query string value that that API expected to see in the request for this part of the migration. This is completely unlike munging around Apache rewrites and hoping that you didn't leave off a 'L' and make it start looping, or forget to append the query string, stuff like that.

I think that if you work with anything web-facing, regardless of the scale, you'd be well served by learning even HAProxy's most basic features and building from there. You'd be astounded at how far you can get with even a basic configuration.

I've taken a recent liking to completely non-sweet but flavored sparkling water like la croix. The best tasting one I've found so far is Polar Orange Vanilla, which tastes so much like an orange cream soda despite 0 sugar that it's bizarre.
Rayon has relatively small overhead, but that doesn't mean you can find'n'replace iter() with par_iter():

- not every collection/combination of iterators supports parallel work. For some it doesn't make sense, for some it's just not implemented.

- while Rust prevents data races, it can't prevent deadlocks, so you need to be mindful of locks.

- .iter() is allowed to mutate state outside of the iterator and use non-thread-safe objects, but .par_iter() isn't (without explicit synchronization primitives). So par_iter() will force you to use more expensive atomic and mutex-locked objects.

For data-bound problems most of the time it just works great. I've ran into problems with some networking libraries having global state, which prevented use of par_iter() (but no crashes - caught at compile time!)
It's is, but it still doesn't change the fact that venezuella sucks right now, not because of tremendous amazing progress, but math and movement of numbers people agreed on.

I started a yoga practice at the beginning of the year and it’s been amazing. I wasn’t inactive before — being in NYC I always walk and I used to run a good amount — but yoga has opened my body up further than I really realized was possible. All those years sitting at a desk coding and studying all day really took its toll.

I’d suggest trying a few yoga schools out until you find the teachers you connect with who teach a style you like (I’ve found Ashtanga to work for me). Then just commit yourself to struggle through it for the first couple months until your body starts opening up.
>This is no different than postal balloting, which only requires a signature

In principle I don't oppose postal balloting. As implemented, I don't support it, as I think it's not a secure voting system. It would be possible to make it into a secure protocol, though. I am a bit worried about it, frankly.

> All those other nations provide a free national ID. Do you support that in the USA?

Yes, of course. It's crazy we didn't have this 50 years ago.

> And now you've lost me.

We don't have a national id system, or a national voter registry. We don't use a national e-verify system for employment. We don't have national standards for elections. We don't have national standards for voter registration. In one place, there is same day registration, in another you need 60 days. One place uses paper ballots, another doesn't. The system is run by county clerks in backwater places rather than experts at the national level. We are piggy backing social security numbers as a form of authentication, when they are really identifiers and not secrets.

These were all standardized systems adopted in Europe a long time ago. We are completely disorganized in the most important things that are necessary to support the functioning of our democracy. We're even backwards when it comes to simple things like chip and pin.
For me the starting poin was Structure and Implementation of Computer Programs, particularly the 80's lecture recordings.

Also I would recommend staying away from lexer and parser generators and just use hand built recursive descent parser and some set of ad-hoc lexical analysis subroutines.
This type of zoning restriction only protects current property owners. They don't protect all current residents. If 100 million people wanted to live in Hawaii, almost every renter would be forced off the island in favor of one of those 100 million who was willing and able to pay more. Many of the property owners would also end up leaving once it became clear how much their property had increased in value. The current Hawaiians wouldn't be "forced/guilted/compelled to accommodate" the new residents. They would instead by "forced/guilted/compelled to" move off the island completely.

Similarly the 4 million people who live in Los Angeles are not the same 4 million who lived in the city 20 years ago. The actual makeup of the city is constantly shuffled around as prices of rent change and different sets of people are willing and able to afford to live there. "Cramming more people into LA" would actually lead to more stability for current residents as it would stall the price increases of real estate by keeping the supply of housing more in sync with the rising demand for housing.

To understand how computers work is the reason that compilers is the capstone class in many CS programs. It unites automata with algorithms and machine code, bringing everything together in one program. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have gotten through this exercise myself outside college.

A lot of the resources out there are going to assume you have one or two sides of this triangle already and are ready to bring it all together. If you don't then you'll probably feel like you're in over your head.

I would recommend checking out "Let's Build a Compiler". It's a bit old-fashioned but at least things are pretty simple. https://compilers.iecc.com/crenshaw/

Different flavors of Markdown are not a bad place to start. Try and find something with a real syntax. As I recall, the original/official version is defined by a Perl program and has no true grammar. But other variants probably do.

SQL is not simple. Just the parser for PostgreSQL's dialect was around 1500 lines of code, last I checked. Although, if you did a small subset, maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

I really like the book Semantics with Applications which discusses the meaning of different programming languages. When I was starting out, it seemed to me like there was a lot riding on the syntactic differences between languages like C and Pascal. Now having seen the fringe, a lot of those differences are not as significant to me as they were before. This book helps you drill into what makes some languages different below the surface, and how to model those differences formally.

I think it's eminently possible to make a small language, like "While", in a few pages of code. I would start with a very simple unambiguous grammar, and a little interpreter for it, but if you really want the full experience, generate assembler. This paper sort of presents the language I'm talking about, but there is a lot here about type theory and semantics that may not be interesting to you, so just ignore that. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1603.08949.pdf When I took compilers ~15 years ago, we generated code for nasm because gas syntax was too weird for us. Anyway.

Another approach that looks interesting to me is "many small steps": http://scheme2006.cs.uchicago.edu/11-ghuloum.pdf The idea here is to start with a program that only knows about integers, but handle everything end-to-end. Then you slowly add features one-by-one, but in an end-to-end fashion. I think this would be a lot easier to iterate and it hearkens back to Crenshaw's approach.

A lot of compiler construction material focuses on Lisp and Scheme. This is because it sort of hides or ignores the parsing problem. You will probably have to learn some other languages to build a compiler; it wouldn't hurt to know some Lisp or Scheme to be able to access these resources. A lot of people build a Lisp-like language as their first for this reason too. Just something I'm pointing out.

Anyway, it's a noble goal and best of luck!
One of the most illuminating comments I heard recently was on a Bloomberg podcast where they made the point that fiat money is a closed system. Money can flow between economic actors, and it can obviously influence behavior, but in both a theoretical and real sense it is really just an abstraction that hovers above the physical world. That's not to deny the economic effects of monetary policy, but I do think it helps clarify a lot of monetary phenomena.
I find the criterion of no college GPA requirement above a 2.0 to be stupidly strict. IMO all should have a requirement higher than this.

> I'd argue that both are political in nature. They're both cultural ideas (copyright and censorship have no physical manifestation) and cultural ideas are nothing but agreed upon ideas that unite us.

You're wandering off into the weeds. The key point is that Chinese censorship is viewpoint-based, while copyright is not.

Under a copyright regime, you can express anything as long as you're original and don't do it by duplicating someone's recent work verbatim in ways that aren't fair use. Under a censorship regime, you can't express a censored idea, concept, or fact in any form at all.
Haha yeah. Julia is just a MATLAB where you utilize metaprogramming and other code generation tools to generate hardware independent LLVM IR from generic algorithms written on abstract types. :P

Sprint Unveils Curiosity IoT Platform
I'd consider myself a liberal, and I'm opposed to any and all attempts to discriminate against an entire demographic group, based on negative traits that are (supposedly) statistically common. Regardless of whether the group in question is Mexicans/Whites/Females/Males/Muslims. I would consider anyone espousing such ideology to be racist/sexist by definition. There are certainly fringe bigots in the left, but I'm sure the majority of Clinton voters feel similarly as I do.
Interesting. My, perhaps wrong, visualization of the janking effect, without the display update, concerns resizing, or showing, a column or pane in a web app. During the resize, the content in both frames are not updated until the resize is complete under certain (most?) conditions.

"If an undue delay is likely to be caused, the work already completed is processed and the update phase yields to other update phases for unlocked content."

My interpretation for a pane/column resize or hidden to visible operation: display-locking reduces jank if I could operate on these elements with the display lock tools. This jank reduction produces more fluid updates in elements not affected by the lock.

Question: If sub elements have complicated draw/render cycles, how will the interplay of locks at different layers affect the result? Composing objects with libraries that use these locks makes me wonder about this issue (or if I make sub-components myself).

I saw some of those hearings, it is just grandstanding for congressmen, they don't really try to get to the bottom of the issue or even let people answer their questions, it is more about them talking and showing off.

But ants can't build sensors to indirectly or more accurately observe other forms of communication, much less surmise about their existence in the first place. The complexity scale of intelligent life can't increase forever, and there's no reason to expect the ants:humans ratio to extend to humans:aliens. Whoever's out there is bound by the rules of this universe, just as we are.

Your misdirection is correct - Jeff Bezos is not responsible for UK legislation - however how Jeff Bezos instructs his vendors and employees to act is very much his responsibility.
