I’d like to share my two cents about jumping the gap from writing code to writing code to infer hardware (having done it myself).

As some others mentioned, the most important distinction is knowing what the logic synthesizer and place/route tools (could be looked at as compiler passes) can do to infer circuits from you code.

Fundamentally you’re designing digital logic circuits and subsequently describing them in code. So go get an introductory digital logic text book and read it. (I.e. Logic and Computer Design Fundamentals, Mano & Kime) You’ll need to understand the basics of “timing” of data propagating through logic circuits. Further into the book you’ll get some ideas of basic digital logic patterns.

Here’s one nifty trick; if you can make sure that the function to compute the next value of a bit can fit into one lookup table (LUT) you can be pretty sure that your circuit will run fast. For the uninitiated, a typical lut has about 4 to 6 inputs connected to a single bit memory (flip flop) on the output.

You can try to hack it with OpenCL, and you may have some success. But do not expect GPU-like ndrange kernel duplication to get you very far. Instead use single work item kernels and make a systolic array. Look up systolic array matrix multiplier.

Also, FPGA tools suuuuck compared to software tools! So expect bizarre pains in the but.

Good luck! It is doable.
> If IBM has one brain cell left, they'll pull a NeXT/Apple merger and let Red Hat executives start running the combined company.

Honestly, I could see that happening and working out great .. for legacy IBM customers. But if you aren't an existing IBM mainframe/midrange shop, there will be only tangental benefits for you.

To go with your Jobs analogy, the original iMac was all about preserving legacy Mac users. The new customers had to come in from a different angle. Does either RedHat or IBM have the angle?

Either Chris or any of the Lispers hanging around here, can they throw deeper insight at the following question/assertion: Isn't what Brett Victor proposing 'visual programming' on top of a live REPL?

The slippery slope is a logical fallacy. Is there evidence this extends beyond this specific case or hate speech in general?
Exactly. Until bad behavior actually destroys profitability or sends people to jail, the banks are free to continue their abuse of the American citizenry.
Agreed. The board's fiduciary duty is to do what's best for the stockholders.
No, it does not excuse the behavior of the banks. The point is that the regulatory behavior was bad, not that it wasn't punishing a real crime.

It would have been significantly better if they announced publicly that JPM was going to have it's growth restricted because of reason X. This would have acted as a deterrent to other banks, sent a message to the public that the banks were indeed being punished, and avoided the image of a secret governance process.

Everyone who reads these publications is well aware of the financial disaster so it doesn't need to be reiterated on every article because the knowledge is assumed.
Exactly: The question is not "who was stupid", the question is "who failed at their FULL TIME JOB of preventing that kind of stupidity from mattering."

Humans are all stupid and fallible in some ways or situations, and we create organizations in order to direct our strengths in a way that shores up the weaknesses.

An ignorant student is regretful-but-expected, while an ignorant teacher is a problem.
The entire economy has been debt-based since at least the 1970s.
Ad hoc, secret regulatory actions might be allowed, but it's a surfire way to breed corruption since unfair enforcement becomes extremely difficult to detect.
What are you joking?

They strike anyone with a brain or domain-level knowledge (until they run out of strikes).

You never see the totality of the evidence; just what the judge "allows in" (that isn't prejudicial to the prosecutors case).

You don't know what the punishments are; half the time you aren't instructed on lesser offences; and most of the time you never even get to see the actual laws, or more importantly, case law.

if you think sitting on a jury (as it stands today) qualifies you to render any sort of judgement on the "evidence", you are woefully mistaken.

You are a puppet. A fop. Anything but "the last bulwark against state tyranny".

The appearance of justice, is the only thing Courts give a shit about. You are part of that appearance. A show, for the uneducated to think they still have a functioning legal system.
#3 provides little comfort, given we're not showing any signs of reducing it and rates will likely rise due to, e.g. #2.

#1 doesn't seem like a compelling argument, there were probably far better investment opportunities than +2% ROI, so this was likely still a subsidy, even if there were nominal gains. Not that we shouldn't have done it, but that argument isn't convincing to me.
Thanks! It seems like we haven't catered for more complex table syntax (when you added extra stuff like `force: delele` et al). We'll look into this and fix them.

Really appreciate your feedback here!

This is my first exposure to it, but yes, I think so. My paraphrase is: The Inspection Paradox is when you ask someone "in the mix" about the mix. You're only going to get an accurate estimation of the mix by standing outside of the mix.

So yes, if you want an accurate count of siblings, you would consult some spreadsheet that just lists how many children each family had. If you go and start asking the families themselves (those "in the mix") then your results will be skewed.

I thought the article that this article linked to was also very good, "The Inspection Paradox Is Everywhere," by Allen Downey, http://allendowney.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-inspection-parad...
This is really neat. The stylization of the hexagonal tile sets reminds me of a tabletop game I played years ago called Heroscape. Is there any chance that it was inspired by that?
Yeah, that's weird. Gravity alone is unlikely to be able to accelerate a plane like that in such a short time. If the data is anywhere near accurate, the engines must have been blaring until the last moment... Were the pilots desperately trying to go up, not knowing which way was up? (It happened before with AF447.)
Hm, I hadn't thought of this!

It uses matplotlib to generate the graphs, which can save svg files though. This sounds like a good feature to add.
Depending on what exactly you are trying to do, I've found wikis like Confluence pretty good for quite a few things.

It used to have a halfway decent forum addon, and the ability to have the wiki features/content embedded was enough to convince us not to try and use a separate forum.
I'm not sure how a restriction would work. The kernel stack is 16kb (meaning uint16_t is already unsafe) & you don't actually know where in the stack you are when creating the VLA so even if you did restrict yourself to uint8_t that doesn't protect you in any way.
Rates will rise, but that doesn't affect the interest rate for bonds already issued, of course.

No disagreement on opportunity cost - I was responding to the prior posters assertion that the government "took on gargantuan debts to brush [the financial crisis] under the carpet".

I guess you could say that some of the debt incurred during the crisis was attributable to a loss in tax revenue as well as the cost of the approximately 1T in stimulus funds between the Economic Stimulus Act and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. That's still a relatively small portion of the total debt of ~16T which is probably mostly due to a mixture of the Bush tax cuts and growing Social Security/Medicare outlays.
That's a good definition for P2P, not for "serverless". Serverless functions run on a server. It typically refers to a category of PaaS which allows on-demand code execution (as opposed to "always on" services).
They don't need to prove that, it's the default.
You are right, of course, but in our society we (correctly) punish illicit drug suppliers, dealers and buyers, because they are all knowingly engaged in activities that they know they shouldn't be engaged in. Punishing only one of those parties would be... classist? Maybe even racist?
If we'd get everyone to cut their car use by 60% that would already be huge.
OP was blaming them for bringing the global economy to its knees.

Regardless: yes there is culturally a big difference in buying bitcoin and getting a mortgage: the latter is not considered a risky investment precisely because everyone isn't expecting you'll get one if you can't pay it off. Bitcoin on the other hand is not a loan, but putting money you already have into a risky investment (note: I'm making a living of cryptocurrencies) .
Thanks to CoreOS and all the other teams under RedHat who have done amazing work up until now. To be fair I've used (and enjoyed/been impressed by) your software for free so obviously I'm not owed anything but I'm gonna be looking for alternatives.

I'm suuuuuuuuuper glad I jumped off of CoreOS Container Linux earlier after the acquisition by RedHat and subsequent bundling into Project Atomic. I avoided OpenShift all together for other reasons, mostly complexity. Now I can watch from a relatively relaxed standpoint and start figuring out how to make sure no IBM sneaks into my stack, if they start tanking products. As others have noted, this is more than RHEL. Keep in mind:

- Ansible is GPLv3

- CephFS is GPLv2 w/ some mix of BSD and others

I assume licenses will serve as a canary for when things start shifting. I might even be so bold as to predict some variation of the LICENSE + PATENTS.md clause.
No. DNA has already been shown to be bogus. Just look up any of the stories of "transfer".

And when you're thinking, well what about rape? Consider that there are documented cases of women taking used condoms and shoving semen up their cunts (case was not a rape case; but fertility rights).

DNA, doesn't prove shit. You should stop, treating it, like it does. Particularly when countless "law enforcement" labs have been proven to be falsifying evidence.

Meditation and yoga have taken the ‘Western’ world by storm. This is because they are extremely easy to instruct. Close your eyes, breathe evenly, etc.

Those who know (yah pasyati, sah pasyayi - are initiated in scripture and are able to ‘see’) understand that meditation is the end portion of a spiritual path, the last stage before enlightenment.

Every single canonical text mentioning meditation mentions how essential it is to control the mind first, before meditation. Yet most people end up using it as a way to calm down which is not the intended use. It is unsurprising that they end up hurting themselves. Most can’t continue the practise long enough to do that anyways because for a beginner your mind will be jumping within 5 seconds or less.

It doesn’t matter much anyways. Most people are not Really meditating when they attempt to do so, more just relaxing.

Deep strategic resource planning that can take months to play out.

Fun concept.

Cool game mechanics that continue to unfold just when you think you've reached "the end."

It is an incremental idle game (not a clicker really). However the way it abstracts away certain concepts once you've progressed enough, and turns them into resources or components needed to make it to the next stage is really engaging. I reached a point on my first play through where I was like "oh, ok, not really sure what else there is to do, I guess I beat the game?" Then went Googling and realized I was still in what is referred to as "the early game." I'm now approaching the "late game" stage, but still have a ways to go and several resets before i'm there.

The resets are a core mechanic btw, and while a bit of a headache for me personally, each time you do it you speed things up significantly such that something that took me months to achieve before is unlocked in a matter of minutes.
Is there a call site that passes void to that macro?
1) yes, but was TARP worth the governments risk? Given the riskiness of the debt, perhaps the government should have taken a lot more profit. A dime less in profit given the massive risk profile is de-facto a subsidy for the bank.

2) The 'big whale' you didn't mention is the trillion dollars in crap mortgages that are sitting on the Fed's balance sheet at face value. That more than doubled the Fed's assets, and those assets were way overvalued ... basically making the USD backed by crap. Which is a 'cost' to anyone using USD, esp. those issuing debt in USD, like the Government, i.e. taxpayer.

So while it's fine and good some of the bailouts were above board, there's too much of it that wasn't.

The government should have eaten all those banks, turfed the execs, and the sold them later for a massive profit a few years later basically wiping out most shareholder value and taking the profit into public coffers. That would actually be closer to capitalism than the bailout program.
How on earth is Microsoft "absolutely" behind OSS? Which of their main products is Open Source? Windows? Office? SQL Server? Azure? Exchange? What exactly makes Microsoft a company "absolutely behind OSS?"

Their stupid boot loader still ignores any other operating system for god's sake.

Kudos to people at Microsoft's Marketing and "developer relations" department who won the hearts of developers by allowing TypeScript and VSCode to be FOSS. Suddenly MS is "Absolutely behind OSS".

GNU Make's order only dependency is different than what is described.

If `foo` is requested, `ordering` will be requested.

However the last modified time of `ordering` will not affect whether `foo` is rebuilt.

There's no analogy of the last modified caching of make products to in it systems here
"Ah so it's (partly) the people's fault now?"

Yes, it's absolutely partly the people's fault. There were tons of people taking massive loans they should not have. People cannot abnegate personal responsibility there.

A lot of things had to go wrong in the banking system for the crash to happen, but that was one of them.
I live in the UK and have DDG pointing at the UK. I'm currently in Kenya.

Searching for dishwasher on DDG gives Currys, John Lewis, Argos, appliancesdirect, and ao.com. All of those are UK based, exactly what I would expect

Searching google.co.uk gives Currys, BestBuy (which gives a choice between CA, US, MX), Lowes (US), Home Depot Canada, Home Depot U.S.

DDG is far better

When I search for Zoo on DDG, I get IMDB about a TV series, Chester Zoo (UK's most visited), London Zoo, and Wiki about the tv series. On Google.co.uk I get stuff about the TV series, Nairobi national park, and then stuff about Boston USA, Berlin, and Madrid.

DDG is far better.
"OP was blaming them"

No, only partly blaming them, and they are definitely partly to blame.
In the end it was a tie in the Debian technical committee. The chairman’s vote was counted twice so systemd won. Then the people who had voted for systemd resigned rather than actually implement their choice.
> without mentioning the code smell around statics

Or the code smell around fall through switch statements.

There are legitimate uses for fall through switch statements and/or mid-file includes, and or static function vars, but combining all of them together is not clever, it's a recipe for bugs.
Just use it. There are no special tricks or hints needed, it is that good.

Biggest differences to me is that Google seems to handle natural questions like "how do i..." in a "smart" way whereas ddg seems to be more altavista like in that your keywords have higher weight rather than trying to outsmart you. Another difference is that Google is much better on local search thanks to its strong bonds with Google maps, like checking opening hours. For anything not maps related DDG has been my default for can't even remember how many years, over 5.
i switched to DDG like 6 months ago, i really like it & i dont plan to go back to google

I love this tool but as an amateur musician, I have to wonder: who is your target audience? Anyone remotely serious about making music won't use it. I'll play around with it but if I want to make a track, I'll just head over to Ableton.

The hard part with the kernel is its fanciful build system, Kbuild. It's great at turning off compilation of subsystems that you don't plan to use. The difficulty is that there are a large number of mutually exclusive number of configurations, so the config that's called `allyesconfig` really isn't "all" because you can only pick one of the mutually exclusive configs. Additionally, some configs don't just add/remove code, but can change which implementation gets compiled in (all via C preprocessor and -D flags).

Those configs mean there are massive combinations of what is actually set, and which code you're actually trying to compile. I imagine that's similarly difficult for static analysis; due to the build system and what code you run it over. I think a simpler approach with grep might actually work better.

Not just four hour work week - almost all of Tim Ferris's content rubs me this way. I think he's good at writing books that will sell - not necessarily books that contain a lot of meaningful information; the latter being more boring and not nearly as sexy. It's enough fact to keep you going, but a noticeable thread of bullshit throughout.
I see your point, but there is also the issue of helping to make this kind of content available. If the content is hard to find or hidden then maybe less people are exposed to it? Is that the answer? I have no idea, but to me there’s a big difference between arguing the merits of single-payor healthcare and whether or not certain people should be allowed to exist.

There are loads of racist and bigoted opinions on Facebook and Twitter, but Gab takes that to another level. The people being banned from Twitter aren’t saying things like black people have lower IQs, they’re saying they’re animals that shouldn’t exist in this country, etc. That’s not the same.

There are many apps that have "no server anywhere." For example I have a purely offline chess app. This chess app is not "serverless", because it does not use any FAAS interfaces.

It's absurd that such an app is not considered serverless precisely because it doesn't actually use a server.

You'll be hard pressed to average higher than that in a car. That doesn't mean that it wouldn't be safer for the cyclist if they could be closer to the maximum speed of the traffic around them when they cycle on the road.
> In a business that brings in $1 million in revenue, the owner could very likely be in the highest tax bracket and is likely to take home an income in the mid-six figures. Then again, that is a lot more than the average American makes. It’s enough to allow you to do things like save for retirement, buy the healthcare you need, pay for college for your kids, if you have them, and go on a nice vacation every year.

These are things you can do in the low six figures, not mid six figures. They are also things I wish everyone could be able to do.

Edit: The Math.

Retirement: Maxing a 401k and Roth Ira is $23,000/yr

Healthcare: Insurance for a family is about $600/month or $7,200/yr. Let's add another $500/yr in expected expenses and another $1000/yr in emergency savings. Total $8,700/yr

Saving for college: $200/month for 21 years (age when child pays last tuition) with 1% interest (pessimistic and safe long term view) will yield north of $50,00k, which is enough for state university tuition. Lets say we are saving for three children. $3,600k/yr.

Nice vacation: Nice doesn't have a specific meaning, but it's safe to say $10,000k is nice.

Total: $55,300k/yr. Considering how important these things are, it's within the reach of a household with a post tax income of $150,000 assuming average US cost of living. People with mid six figure post tax income can do much more. I really dislike these two paragraphs. It makes it seem like being a very high income household is the only way to provide the basic quality of life.
