Better him than me. I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss relevant coding experience, it doesn't get old. Much of his reasoning about locality still holds, to an even greater degree today.

I've implemented more or less the same interpreter using computed goto and various variations on dispatch loops; and this is the fastest solution I've managed to come up with, and the nicest code to work with. Still too many parameters, my point is that I have plenty of experience pointing in that direction which is better than nothing. It's not a mystery to me. Using computed goto will involve some kind of lookup to get the relevant labels, I'm using pointers to actual instructions as jump targets. And since I'm longjmp'ing out, which means I don't need a loop condition; the loop is reduced to a single regular goto.

Like I said, better than nothing. There is no such thing as perfection in this world. I've spent quite some time [0] micro benchmarking different features to get a fair comparison.

> There hasn't been a world war for two thirds of a century now

African World War (1998-2003). Five million people killed. With nine countries fighting, I think that it qualifies perfectly as a world war.

>>The only time taxes are required is when people will not freely give money for a project. That is literally the only reason taxes exist. Nothing is stopping people from donating to the government.

I like this point and I make it a lot to my Democrat friends who insist rich people should pay more taxes. These people use the fact that they are themselves rich to support their argument ("I should pay more taxes too, you see!"). I always ask them, "Then why don't you? The Treasury accepts donations, you know."

It would be a persuasive gesture for folks like Bill Gates and Bernie Sanders who are insisting their tax bracket should be higher to write big checks to the Treasury for what they think is morally right.

But of course, they won't. Nor should they -- top charities deliver much higher societal ROI than government, in my opinion. And apparently Gates et al. agree with me privately. Publicly... they are all for higher taxes as long as it's forced by threat of imprisonment, apparently.
Organizational accounts have a different storage plan they can use that's more suited to their needs. This is only for personal accounts. And no, you don't have a personal account, which hopefully you knew 5 years ago when that happened.

Typical LA courses in math departments have a bizarre focus on being able to do Gaussian elimination by hand and stuff like that. It's not particularly useful or even mathematically interesting. LA courses would be so much more useful if they just stuck to theory and only had computer applications.

The problem with American opposition to government, especially Federal government, is that it's inextricable from the outcomes of the civil war.

Animated RNN, LSTM and GRU
On day one they were the kings of the early web, but they were playing catch up from day two, because the original thing they made their names on was intrinsically useless as soon as the web got too big to enumerate - in about 1998. Since then their business has consisted of hanging things off the side of things hung off the side of things... and trying to sell advertising. Every good tool they made was a loss leader, orphaned from conception by the economic fact that doing it better would bring in no more revenue. They were never capable of being Google.
My coauthors and I used a nigh-identical technique [1] (see Section 2 Implementation) in 2015 to:

1. Optimize the Guava library for energy consumption,
2. By varying the implementations of data type interfaces,
3. Using a genetic algorithm,
4. and our results were presented in SSBSE 2015 and published in the conference proceedings.

Two years later, Basios et. al presented at the very same conference [2], where they

1. Optimize the Guava library for memory consumption,
2. By varying the implementations of data type interfaces,
3. Using a genetic algorithm,
4. and their results were presented in SSBSE 2017 and published in the conference proceedings.

I am overjoyed that Basios et al. managed to take this technique so far, and that they obtained such impressive results. I am disappointed, however, that our work still goes completely uncited and unacknowledged in their papers. Given that it involved the same library, the same techniques, the same family of algorithms and the same conference, this simply could not have slipped through the cracks of any literature review - especially since one of the authors was present and interacted with us at SSBSE 2015. I'd be happy to hear any explanation for this omission.

Object Pascal (Delphi) also optimizes case statements, depending upon the nature of the statement:

I tested this recently (Delphi XE6), and it definitely is as-described: you get straight jump instructions with enough case statement branches, and it is very fast.

Barry Kelly worked on the Delphi compiler, and I believe he comments here on Hacker News occasionally.
Taxes are more than just a revenue source, they also change people’s bahavor. So, donating money to the government and raising taxes results in different outcomes. I don’t think the US government needs more money, but the current tax structure distorts the economy and creates inefficiency.

Longer term, having the rich pay little taxes destabilizes the nation. Democratic rule is not perticularly stable over time and the US is heading down a very dark path.

In the end their are not enough billionaires where revenue from them really matters. Higher taxes on competent wealthy people has little real impact. However, ultra low capital gains is crital for creating a group of people who are incompetent, inherited lots of money, and stay powerful.
Yeah I think the instance types are different enough that this doesn't measure anything generally useful. Now comparing something like Lambda vs GCF, or GCS vs S3, that would be at least telling on a platform-wide scale.

Well, the government is made up of humans after all. These things are _always_ going to happen.

The questions now are who screwed up the oversight, whether or not there was fraud or crony-ism, and what actions can be taken against this contractor in terms of cancelling/auditing their other contracts.
I agree, and I think your point can be even more generalized -- businesses can collect information about their customers, there's nothing wrong with it.

The key difference is that, while a website may know from your ad click that you were targeted by a campaign looking for college-aged men or whatever, it doesn't necessarily know who you are. That's the difference between personally identifiable information and simply targeted information.

There needs to be safeguards to avoid abuse. For example, if the targeting dimensions of an ad campaign are so narrow that the few people fall into it, it shouldn't be targeted (a good example would be geographic targeting of devices that are inside of your house -- too granular).

But, I don't care if a website knows that I am likely male or my coarse age or whatever, because i don't have to tell the website who I am in the real world if I don't want to. "Selling your data" is commonly understood by the public to mean something like this -- people suspect that facebook just gives lists of their users to third parties and asks them who they want to send ads to, which is the accusation that Facebook is denying.

If I end up making a purchase w/ a website, then sure, they'll know some things about me from the FB ad click referral and the underlying ad campaign they ran. I feel fine with that, I'm entering a relationship with the business where they know quite a bit about me anyway -- like my name, my address, what I'm buying, etc. I don't buy things from places if I can't trust them.
I've seen people rip off entire pieces of bodywork because they've overestimated this.

There is definitely a good argument there. A child has far more potential years of life left than an elderly person, so killing them seems worse. Perhaps that's one reason why we tend to think so badly of child murderers.

Of course, in reality (at least the American judicial system), punishment is usually based more on other factors, such as motive. So premeditatedly killing an old man because you wanted to steal his stuff is punished more than killing a child purely by accident.
This means that C# could be ported to the JVM, doesn't it?

Yeah, again, all this really shows is that instance types don't translate well across cloud platforms comparison-wise because they are strictly different. See other posts.
The internet bust of 2000 damaged Yahoo for years to come and from which they never recovered.

The primary damage was psychological. Investors lost faith in technology so after 2000 tech companies scrambled to reinvent themselves as "not tech" companies.

Yahoo was one of the worst examples, hiring CEOs that tried to turn it into a media company. Yahoo's technology investment suffered and they had no technology strategy for too long.

For devs, Lua bindings with GTK+ (like JavaScript with QT/QML) would be a good solution: easy binding with C libs, and minimal runtime and easy distribution. It needs a VB6 GUI builder with code editor.

I fly in to a rage now every time I hear this. It's become completely and utterly meaningless. "If you're not paying, you're the product!" -> "If you're paying, you're just a better product for them to sell!"

It might be true, but there exists not a single person on this site who hasn't heard it, and it provides absolutely zero value.

It was never even true to start with. The act of paying for something in no way has ever made you ineligible as a source of other revenue.

In my unscientific opinion, I think there is some skills overlap with skateboarding, surfing, and snowboarding. They all put your body at a 90 degree angle to the direction you're heading and you have to adjust your center of gravity over the board to turn. So it's very possible your skateboarding skills will help you learn faster than people who don't surf and skateboard.
The $10/month gives you both Lightroom and Photoshop though. Photoshop was $700 with $200 upgrades.

Of course they don't give you a cheaper way to only buy Lightroom which is the annoying part.
So, Verizon acquired the assets of a couple of failing companies, and then botched any attempt to generate synergy during the acquisition.

Not surprising? Can't remember the last time Verizon launched a truly innovative initiative of any kind.

Be careful here — I maintained several active boards with quite a few followers, but was flagged for "inappropriate images" which Pinterest mods themselves deleted.

In the main, I'd only ever pinned images I found on the site itself, so I thought "why pick on me, I'm not the one who originally pinned it?"

But I didn't go though my stuff and look for any other TOS violating images (I really didn't think I had any) and then I was perm-banned. You have no recourse once that happens.

Caveat emptor — its puritanical standards are likely to bite anyone who plays outside the recipes and sewing categories into anything interesting in the art and photography domains.

> In short, Aaron Swartz was not the super hacker breathlessly described in the Government’s indictment and forensic reports, and his actions did not pose a real danger to JSTOR, MIT or the public. He was an intelligent young man who found a loophole that would allow him to download a lot of documents quickly. This loophole was created intentionally by MIT and JSTOR, and was codified contractually in the piles of paperwork turned over during discovery.

> If I had taken the stand as planned and had been asked by the prosecutor whether Aaron’s actions were “wrong”, I would probably have replied that what Aaron did would better be described as “inconsiderate”. In the same way it is inconsiderate to write a check at the supermarket while a dozen people queue up behind you or to check out every book at the library needed for a History 101 paper. It is inconsiderate to download lots of files on shared wifi or to spider Wikipedia too quickly, but none of these actions should lead to a young person being hounded for years and haunted by the possibility of a 35 year sentence.
You can't go through a great lot of pain without the competitive drive, the hunger for greatness. In other primates, it's expressed in form of strength, in humans in the shape of great accomplishments.

If we were all nice people who don't mind being last, we wouldn't be "here" now.

Of course, the "non-abusive population" (you name it) have done great things, they help maniacally driven people like Musk to archive things, but they are the ones who lack the assertiveness and initiative, they're the cogs in the machine.

Hrm, maybe I'm wrong about that. But they have at least 4 campuses in this area that i have seen and cover a massive footprint. Maybe it is better for me to refer to it as manufacturing headquarters. When I moved here I was pleasantly surprised to learn that most of their product was manufactured here as opposed to foreign.

I even became friends with one of the technicians on the "binning" team, who tests all the chips and determined what clock speeds they will be sold as.

Goodwill isn't the value of the brand. It's just an accounting term to account for the difference in book value and purchase price.

Yes, one of the problems with Friedman and his adherents is that they take the most cynical view of any situation, and assume everyone thinks like they do. So real, complex problems get reduced to a joke about how everyone else is an asshole and shouldn’t be trusted.

It’s a cute quip, but if you presented the opposite political viewpoint with an equally cute quip from a liberal, these Friedman acolytes would be the first to yell at you about “anecdotes vs evidence.”

I personally think that all forms of this style of comment are lowbrow-highbrow, contribute nothing but a sense of self-satisfaction to the poster, and should be voted down.
> Doesn’t hold up? What other company is there is making a bigger impact pushing us to electrify?

Zurich public transport, every single train company. Claiming electric personal cars are a solution to anything is a joke.

> And the “Mars is a conspiracy” is just not true. Musk can be sincere in his motivations while still not being pleasant to work with.

I'm sure he's sincere about colonising Mars. It's just that it's a terrible idea and making it appear as a benefit to society requires some significant mental exercises. But ever since at least Lenin it's pretty much common knowledge that just increases commitment amongst the converted.
