I cannot disagree with that; what I would suggest is that if the adults spent as much time as the children immersed in the language and the necessity of speaking it, I suspect they would do as well if not better.

A few hours a week fumbling with a basic grammar guide is certainly better than a few hours a week immersed and desperate to communicate, but fifty hours a week immersed and desperate to communicate is what the children get and that will always do better than a few conscious hours a week with a basic grammar.

When I say "immersed", I don't just mean "surrounded". I mean it's coming at you, deliberately, and it's your only option for communication that you are desperate to engage in, mind spinning and whirring, latching onto constructs and experimenting with them, every human social fibre in your being that demands you communicate and connect with the people around you (and that is a very strong part of being human) driving the desperate urge to learn the fucking language, on the order of 10 to 16 hours a day.

I was thinking more about S3, where I know for a fact that are charging on a per-request basis and a volume basis. Amazon can and should absolutely charge them irrespective of the contents of the blob of data, and regardless of whether they read it or not, my point is encrypt it if you're worried.

Perhaps your mathematical/technical background is overriding? :-)

> It's also not in general a correct use of "the" to say something like "We all climbed the hill" in an area where there's more than one hill, even if you all climbed the same hill.

Seems entirely context dependent... and this example doesn't say "we". I don't know about you, but if I was talking about a bunch of hikers (myself not included) and they all climbed the same hill, I would not say they climbed "a" hill. Yes, I might not get charged with perjury on a legal thing, but it'd still be quite misleading...
And that is bad because..?

Credit card reward programs exist to encourage spending on massively over market interest rates.

Also, capping the interest rate doesn’t reduce the benefit to making encouraging people to spend and carry debt, so I doubt they’ll go away.

Your communications workshop experience jives well with my observations. Over the last decade or so, I've evolved my expression style to a much more discussion oriented tone (de-escalating the situation) rather than a debate oriented one (trying to prove yourself right, often escalating tensions). If a subject is worth talking about with someone, I hold a frame of mind that they might have something new to say which will augment my understanding of the situation. IME, that makes people much more open to communicate -- they listen to you with an open mind, consider what you're saying, and respond with their perspective. I much prefer this mode of operation, because my perspective had diversified significantly from the things I've learned and I consider it as bringing out the best in the people I communicate with. Conversations are now a collaborative discovery process.

"Strong opinions, weakly held" (in it's best spirit) is often a crutch for people who feel paralyzed by ambiguity. This mindset lets them sweep uncertainty under the rug and continue operating ("bias for action") till feedback requires them to change their mind. The problem with that assumption is that the willingness of people around them to express feedback is inversely proportional to the confidence they express.

On the topic of being comfortable with ambiguity, I feel Feynman puts it best: https://youtu.be/_MmpUWEW6Is
> The fact that you need a license, yet can't get one, is a clear signal that it isn't ready for production use.

Everything you said is reasonable except this. If it isn’t ready for production use then no need to beat about the bush by advertising a commercial license you can’t get? And if one doesn’t exist by the way how are Twitter using it in production?
it's a scattershot approach. the size of china and it's appetite for growth means it invests everywhere, its concentrated wealth and power is being dispersed globally in order to throw as many seeds as possible and water the ones that seek to grow. they're in africa, south america, eurasia, se asia, oceania, western europe, the middle east. it's very similar to what japan and south korea did domestically with miracle recoveries in their respective post war periods - but on a completely global scale. you give everyone a chance, and reinforce the ones who take it with good faith, the bad self-prune themselves and behavior can now be correlated to outcome. never throw good money after bad, and always work out some deal when you get something in return for something.

china needs this to work, or it is facing a real crisis (constitutional, demographic, cultural) in the near future. the middle income trap leads to stagnation and possible revolution unless you can centralize population (it needs 100 tokyos) and largely flatten your wealth distribution before it happens, but avoiding it is preferential to dealing with its effects.

the idea that china is doing this alone is also a fantasy, in reality it's working within the global system of international lending and finance to open as many doors as possible to trade, growth, accelerated development and good outcomes for domestic populations. european and american funds can't get through the door fast enough to get behind chinese at scale manufacturing and development of the undeveloped parts of the world.

i think they will fail, but for largely unmentioned and unrelated reasons to the ones presently discussed. any system like china will risk total collapse around leadership changeover, and it needs more than 20 years to achieve new stability goals and at that moment - when xi dies - it requires a stable partner to secure the hand off, and at the rate of hysteria in america, two decades from now, i can see capricious opportunism on the part of a deflated western elite take over sound judgement and prudent long term thinking. the quiet horror of the thousands of kilometers of abandoned high speed rail like skeletal bones across the world as we enter some new global minimum is vividly in my mind as i think of the most likely outcomes.
This will soon be changed to the 30th of each month. So now it's a monthly clean-up sorta thing.
Ironic timing in that I'm about half way through this. Started a few months back and got side tracked but just picked it up again last night.

As at least one other said, the presentation/style is not like anything you have seen before and it takes getting used to (I'm not quite there yet). The first half of the book (roughly where I am) is kinda slow as well, but starting to pick up the pace now.
> Airports can land a plane every minute.

During peak times this is true, but the ramp is still a huge bottleneck for overall capacity at most airports. Listen to the ground control frequency at a busy airport like JFK for a good example of this.

Baidu in China. Yandex in Russia. Google in the US. Not sure for India and Latin America.

It's treatable, but not while maintaining deterministic behavior.

Yeah, seems like you should be able to. Just curious, where would you want that option to appear, and how would you want to see the search experience change as a result?
As an immigrant, that's very accurate. Also for adults no one wants to speak with you for a long time if you aren't already proficient at least on B2 level.
It's a visible nuisance for native speakers. Thus adults aren't really immersed. Most of my (and over immigrant) language knowledge is very transactional and limit to shopping and my direct work duties. Surely there are exceptions - some are nearly native level proficient, overs are barely can express basic needs.

> Airports can land a plane every minute. A rail line would never dare have two high speed trains that close to each other.

Why the difference? If I naively guessed, I would think that trains were easier to control and more predictable, so the docking rate should theoretically be higher than for a plane.

Is the real limitation not the docking, but the high speed travel up to he docking? Trains all follow the same track, but planes can travel in parallel until 5e final approach?
I get that. I just don’t see any reason to suppose that the children are almost always more immersed than the adults in this sense. There are plenty of scenarios where the adults will have a more urgent need of that sort than the children. For example, my husband moved with his family to the Czech Republic as a teenager where he want to a French language school. His father worked as a diplomat. My husband still learned more Czech than either of his parents.

They tried it without going as far as bump-pointer allocation in the nursery, so I wouldn’t say that Go’s GC journey away from generational was due to measuring it and it not working. I don’t think anyone has high expectations for the performance of non-copying generational GC. IIRC the presentation just said they weren’t willing to try copying because they didn’t think it would be possible to maintain good latency. Which I think Azul and perhaps a future evolution of the new JVM collectors would have something the say about.
That's a correct assumption.
To me, this doesn't sound so surprising - Sweller's Cognitive Load Theory theorizes that we have an unlimited memory capacity. I think the primary issue comes from time and practice. With a child, even when they don't "want to", they're forced to practice by parents and adults. With adults, however, if we don't want to do something, we don't and others are frowned upon if we insist they do it anyway.

"Don't assume that something that seems unambiguous is."

Don't make assumptions about what we assume :).

There are innumerable situations wherein there is legitimate experience and authority for people to make fairly clear and unambiguous decisions.

It's patently wrong to suggest that unequivocal positions are inherently toxic.
>Seems entirely context dependent...

Yes, indeed, and there is no context in the question.

>but if I was talking about a bunch of hikers (myself not included) and they all climbed the same hill, I would not say they climbed "a" hill.

I don't think this is right in the multi-hill scenario:

The hikers went to Yosemite. Every hiker climbed the hill.

That sounds pretty weird.

I don't get how Uber gets so much money thrown at it, when it has not proven ANY business fundamentals. Sure people use the service, and like the service, but when the service is essentially a perpetual loss-leader what's the point? Self-driving cars could be 5 years away, or it could be 20. I remember google saying they'd be on the road and ready for prime-time use by 2017, well that's come and gone.

Fact is the entire game will shift when they do hit the market, manufacturers would be STUPID not to make subscription plans where you don't 'own' a car, but you pay $500-1000/month (includes insurance/gas/etc...) for a car to pick you up, take you where you need to go, then when it's not working for you - it's working for someone else nearby (cutting down on congestion at the same time). When all the car manufacturers are their own uber, where does that leave uber?

This makes sense for Go. A big part of the reason the generational hypothesis is true for most applications is that they allocate short-lived objects inside function bodies that are no longer needed when the function returns.

In Go, most of those objects actually do get allocated directly on the stack, or as fields directly inside other objects. So they are never seen by the GC. This is one of the aspects of the language design that I really admire.

Or, you could look at as saying that Go does have a generational memory manager, and the first generation is "on the stack".
Seems to be a theme with me this week but I'll suggest it anyway: sites could run their own advertising.
Pivotal is really effective at forcing prioritization, as well as showing impact of changes on delivery if you’re bothering to estimate tasks.

I find its UX a little irritating, but it’s very manageable for teams about that size. Whereas a Jira is probably a bit too much structure at that point, and Trello not nearly enough.
Uninstalled because on Windows it registers itself to auto-start on boot no matter what you do. I keep removing it from the autostart places and it keeps registering back.

I get it that they want to get usage telemetry, but it's ridiculous for a security focused app to force itself like that.

I pretty much agree with you: it's hard to program, but possibly something we just need to do anyway. It's a much more efficient way to build computers, and the relative benefits only look to get bigger... but if I knew how to make it work, I wouldn't be writing about CPUs!

> What may sound like oppression many times is a desire to not go down a path to failure that I can see from a mile away, but someone with less experience may not even understand.

There's a cultural difference here. In a culture of collaboration that experience is simulated for the group to grow mutually. In the hierarchical culture it's the objective reasoning that is the focal point. The difference is motivation of growth vs money.

> I feel like if you don't run into someone who fits this motive, you won't even listen to what they have to say because you feel like you are being oppressed.

I never said I won't listen. I value people who focus on collaboration because I can trust they have a stake in our mutual growth. This is not a feeling rather a thought.

> You can thank companies that fire the people with experience and hire the youthful and cheap for this.

No, I credit the people who create the bias around them in everyday interactions. Bottom line is that present day moments are not made up of stereotypes. People are responsible for their behaviors and attitudes.
Just seen it adopted in a F50. It's not particularly difficult to sell in my opinion. The product is pretty good too.
Well, what can I say? Perhaps your husband is some kind of language learning genius. Perhaps your husand's diplomat father was not so skilled at learning the language of the very nation he was working in. Your husband spent his workdays in school speaking French, his father spent his work days in an embassy speaking probably at least two and maybe more languages. Neither of them immersed.

I suspect, however, that for a typical immigrant, the child does not spend their days in a school taught in a non-local language, but instead simply goes to the local school, and I suspect that for a typical immigrant, the adult does not work in a building whose working language is their own native tongue. Your (husband's) experiences are somewhat offbeat.
It sounds weird (well, I'd say it's just wrong) because you didn't already mention a single hill to refer back to, not because "a" conveys the meaning better. In that case if you wanted to get across that it was the same hill, you'd say "the same hill". You still wouldn't say "a" if you meant there was only one hill.
There are some contradictions in here. If you map your functionality from software (on CPU) to FPGA, your software becomes hardware. FPGA is hardware. FPGA is retargetable, but it is not programmable in the sense what SW requires. The resources are preallocated, which is the essential property of hardware.

In software you allocate and deallocate memory, which is your dynamic resource. You don't have that in HW. You can implement a memory manager in HW, but your system will not be flexible enough to be soft. Also you can synthesize your CPU on FPGA, but the performance is poor compared to a hard CPU on FPGA.

Currently FPGAs are becoming popular in accelerating software functions to offload the CPU. The most powerful FPGAs have a lot of fixed logic CPUs in them (i.e. hard macros).

You can't just say that I'll just go ahead and run my software functions as hardware. For certain type of workloads you always need software, in practice (not in theory).
Isn't that up to the developers themselves - whether they want to shoot themselves in the foot by slowing down their site by including lots of JS? Who is Google to determine how the Internet should be run? Shoving AMP down people's throat - because Google can as it owns majority browser and search market share - is akin to large governments in the world pushing their weight around and sticking their noses in other countries' issues.

I cringe everytime I visit a page that's AMP enabled, and usually bounce or just get on a desktop. Sure, promote a 'faster' web, but if it's at the expense of a horrible experience, why?

Why doesn't Google treat all websites that load under 100ms at par with an AMP site?

They keep using the ruse that AMP is important because it is all about fast loading sites and less frustrating user experience but they have page speed insights, and already rank sites based on load speed so why force this non standard on everyone? If they just said we'll give you a bolt icon and the perks for a site that loads under X ms no matter how you do it (AMP or anything else) a lot of people will welcome it.
Don't know if anyone else has, but I've seen so called "global SIM" with multi IMSI type functionality from so called "secure phone" providers in the past.

>Also, capping the interest rate doesn’t reduce the benefit to making encouraging people to spend and carry debt, so I doubt they’ll go away.

That is exactly what it does. The benefit to people carrying debt is the interest they pay. If you reduce the interest rate, you reduce that benifit.

I honestly don't know how to explain this more clearly. They are not "advertising a commercial license". They are saying NOT to use the Enterprise version in production, because licensing is not yet available.

Instead of theoretical I should have said "research-grade". People sometimes don't realize how big the gap between a research finding and a product that actually delivers market benefits is. Often the discovery is only 5% of the work, and the rest isn't just grunt programming, but deep applied research with big technical challenges. That Graal has shown that the idea can actually yield competitive benefits in practice, running on real applications, and at acceptable costs (that are being continuously reduced) is a great achievement. Graal/Truffle is, obviously, not magic, and cannot convert any interpreter to a competitive optimizing compiler (it doesn't even beat C2 on some important workloads, which is why it is not replacing it just yet), but as a first approximation for what it does, I think that interpreter->optimizing compiler is a fair description, and even from a full-picture point of view, Truffle languages are competitive at a significantly reduced cost to other approaches we see in industry. Applied research that yields significant bottom-line benefits is precisely what a technological breakthrough is.
