As I watch pop culture media I can’t help but think that the desire for relative wealth/status is driven primarily by the desire to attract sexual and romantic partners. I don’t think people in their 20s and 30s are as worried about war and famine as they are about being undesirable, unpopular, rejected, and lonely. At least not in the US. I suppose sex tech and AR/VR tech could advance to the point where some of these fears are obliviated and humans begin to deprogram the desire for status within a social hierarchy. That would be quite a radical evolution.
False, of course.

This reminds me of a 'news' organization that promoted the pseudo-scientific book "The gendered brain" (which could be described as Peak Blank Slate Fantasy), including a fawning soft-ball interview with its author where she said that research into her claims would be unethical, because nothing says good science like "just comply with what I said". That same media then went on to put that book on their 'recommended reading of the year'.

That 'news' organization was, of course, The Guardian.

Your discussion along with the your GP treat "wealth" as an undifferentiated substance, where a greater total amount inherently involves a better life.

The problem with this is that human beings are limited biological creatures with a variety of wants and needs each of which is not interchangeable with the other. Having a powerful smart phone with access to the Internet no doubt give a person greater variety of stimulous, the potential for entertainment, connection with those in near and distant land and whatever else. It satisfies what we might call the desire for entertainment, creativity or whatever. But it can't be directly substituted for food, clothing, shelter or a temperature controlled environment. So the situation of a homeless person with a smart phone freezing at night is better than a middle class person in the 1950s - even if we count the homeless person as having $1 million dollars in wealth measured by 1950s standard - since hey, that smart phone is lots of "wealth".

Those numbers are without CDS on Java 8. This is what I get on my machine – Java 13 is 10% faster than Java 8 if you use a jlinked JRE, or 15% slower otherwise:

$ JAVA=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk/bin/java; for i in {1..100}; do time -p "$JAVA" -Xshare:on Hello; done 2>&1|grep real|awk 'BEGIN { sum=0 } { sum += $2 } END { print 1000 * sum / NR " ms" }'
90.7 ms

$ JAVA=/usr/lib/jvm/java-13-openjdk/bin/java; for i in {1..100}; do time -p "$JAVA" -Xshare:on Hello; done 2>&1|grep real|awk 'BEGIN { sum=0 } { sum += $2 } END { print 1000 * sum / NR " ms" }'
106.4 ms

$ JAVA=/tmp/jlinked-java13-jre/bin/java; for i in {1..100}; do time -p "$JAVA" -Xshare:on Hello; done 2>&1|grep real|awk 'BEGIN { sum=0 } { sum += $2 } END { print 1000 * sum / NR " ms" }'
82.3 ms

Interestingly, Java 7 is faster than any of the newer versions.

$ JAVA=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk/bin/java; for i in {1..100}; do time -p "$JAVA" -Xshare:on Hello; done 2>&1|grep real|awk 'BEGIN { sum=0 } { sum += $2 } END { print 1000 * sum / NR " ms" }'
80.6 ms

...and Java 6 is even faster:

$ JAVA=/opt/java6/bin/java; for i in {1..100}; do time -p "$JAVA" -Xshare:on Hello; done 2>&1|grep real|awk 'BEGIN { sum=0 } { sum += $2 } END { print 1000 * sum / NR " ms" }'
62.2 ms

So I appreciate that they're finally working on the startup performance regressions, but they apparently have some way to go before achieving parity with the famously lightning-fast startup time of older Java releases.
Kid-Hacks: When Your Toddler Is Bored
Assuming you already know another programming language, learning a new one to build a software startup might not be the optimal option, as you'll be competing with others with more experience than you. Instead, build it on what you currently use (unless that is PHP, in which case, I back your decision 150%!)

Southerners wanted free trade to export tobacco and cotton. Northerners wanted tariffs and protection for their industries (both to make their factories more competitive against European manufactures as to get cheaper raw materials from American farmers).
This is of course implicit in the mindsets -- C++ is continually trying to support new idioms for the programmer to express themselves, C would prefer you stick as close as possible to a smaller set of idioms. Just because you can technically make use of a design pattern in C, doesn't mean the language (or the community) will ever encourage that.
Yeah, definitely. I mean, in town cycling is mostly fine because there are cycle paths all over the place. There are also cycle routes running out of town for a few miles, sometimes further depending on where you are.

The problem where I live is that there is no dedicated cycle route so I'm sharing a two lane A-road that's potholed to fsck, with heavy traffic in both directions, plenty of commercial and agricultural traffic, and everybody trying to pass you. Worse, when traffic is lighter it turns into the kind of road where quite a few people want to hoon along it at 80mph.

The motorcycle wins here primarily because you can always keep up with the flow of traffic so you're not going to get side-swiped by an articulated lorry or farm tractor towing a trailer of turnips as it tries to pass you. And you're not going to get killed because you hit a pothole at the side of the road, fell off your bike and got run over.
> Also I wonder why the LLVM project doesn't make it relatively easier to support multiple platforms (including Windows)

LLVM's concern is the generation of machine code. That does indeed work for Windows even with Crystal; you can cross-compile a "Hello, world!" program and it'll run just fine in the Command Prompt.

The actual problem lies in the OS-specific APIs. Windows and Unix are very different operating systems with very different designs and very different feature sets. LLVM can't really do much to fix that.

Medicine moves fast and it’s impossible to stay up to date on everything. In general I do not incorporate the latest discoveries into my daily practice unless the evidence is absurdly overwhelming, which rarely happens. Usually new therapies have marginal evidence to support them. I prefer to wait until multiple studies support a treatment before it becomes my standard of care, and by that time it’s likely going to be summarized in a Cochrane Review.

Should a patient come in with a preference for a treatment they read about on PubMed (which has never occurred in my practice) then I would likely accommodate their preference unless I thought it would put them at serious harm. A patient knowing more than I do about a particular disease happens more than you’d expect, especially if they have a rare chronic disorder. This does not diminish my ego or confidence in my knowledge base.

Implementing cooroutines in C is pretty old hat:
https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/coroutines.html

If you just put together a linked list of structs which represent the routines, the time they last slept, and what they're last waiting on, you can just iterate through it and you've got most of the functionality of async/await. I never bothered to implement separate stacks and register restoration, opting to just use global variables for state that needed to be saved between awaits. It would have been neat to do that, but I think it would have turned an afternoon spent saving time into a multiday project, and left me permanently paranoid about corrupting the stack or registers. Would have been fun though.
The dynamic is that these old white men aren’t actually that rich by Western standards but are by SE Asian ones, so they don’t have the status or wealth to attract a young attractive western woman but do in SEA.

If they were actually rich they wouldn’t need to retire overseas to stretch out their retirement.
That's not quite the same though. The computer's rolling a dice on that one. My thinking was that the final state comes from a random player at the other side of the world.
David Trotter on 'Corridors: Passages of Modernity'
Well, in the local case someone told the cops who was flying it (from the comfort of their backyard, BTW). In most cases it likely is very difficult to identify the pilot. Worst yet, you might never see the drone while they create great potential danger (flying over a freeway) or invade privacy (fly above someone's property or look into a home).

I am not for a minute proposing bans or anything like that. Yet the current framework and industry do not impose any level of responsibility on owners.

For example, I carry a one million dollar insurance policy to cover any damage I might cause with my model airplanes, helicopters or drones. However, the policy is only valid if I fly within a set of rules. Not surprisingly, I am not allowed to fly over people, homes or roads. Which means I tend to be extremely safety-conscious and never fly in any way that would endanger others or their property.

That is absolutely lacking in the consumer drone industry. People think nothing of flying their drones over anything or anyone and they don't even have insurance to cover the damage they might cause.

As a simple example, my solar array cost in the order of $50K. If some idiot crashes a drone into it it'll cost me thousands of dollars to fix it. It might even start a massive fire. And yet, unless you see who's flying the thing, they confess or someone identifies them, they will never be caught. When people do not suffer consequences for their actions they have no reason to behave with civility or consideration. Most people are good, but most people can be real idiots as well.
The parent comment was replying to a suggestion they partner with organizations who typically help low income and homeless people. I doubt most of them have insurance.

A decompiler can't pull contextually appropriate variable and function/method names out of nowhere (not to mention comments), which is the big roadblock when reading foreign-language code.

That is, you're just as likely to be able to follow foreign-language code as you are decompiled code. Either way, you've basically thrown out all the documentation and swapped out all the names for gibberish.

A fundamental problem with CCPA (and GDPR and other similar state legislation) is the definition of personal information.

For example, IP addresses are not really personal, but including them as such creates layers of ambiguity that undermines other positive aspects of the law. It's the typical outcome of politicians not really knowing the domain they're affecting.

Also what's especially interesting is that CCPA was effectively bankrolled by a single person, which should raise some alarms about political power used by the people.
1) It is illegal to shoot down drones

2) If it was legal, it would be a bad idea because you're shooting down something with a lipo. Great way to start a fire.

3) Identifying a rogue drone is quite difficult. They aren't easy to see. And how do you know the radio signal you are intercepting is theirs? It isn't always that easy (in fact, that's what I was talking about with the city wide fox hunt). This might be easy in a small area where there is only one thing flying around, but as soon as you have multiple things it is hard to identify what is what. The easiest way is to get a yagi and aim it at the drone, but you're still going to have to follow it for awhile to make sure you have the right one. And are you going to do that for every arbitrary flying object? Seriously, that is a ridiculous notion.

"Honey there's a drone outside! Get my yagi so I can check if it is operating legally or not!"
I'm not sure if the comment you responded to was a sarcastic joke or a reference to this documentary.

>But somehow the heterodox have inflated it into being the core proposition of all of mainstream economics.

My argument wasn't that neoclassical economics should be discounted as a result of CCC, but rather the grounds upon which it took place, where Marxian (well, labour accounting) economics took just as much of a hit as neoclassical economics did. My argument was that if your proposition is that the status of a discipline should be counted based on what transpired between 1960 and 1980, Marxian economics would only be as poor today as neoclassical economics was. Neoclassical economics improved its models, and Marxian economics either attempted to salvage an orthodox interpretation of Marx or to move on to other research projects (Analytical Marxism, Rational Choice Marxism) that do away with his "mystical shell".

I suppose when one thinks of trying to salvage Marx as trying to prove Fermat's Last Theorem (in fact, it is very much like that with the Fundamental Marxian Theorem), what Kliman et al. are doing given the models and notation set out by Samuelson and Leontief, or what Veneziani and Yoshihara are doing given neoclassical methods is a whole lot less objectionable. Neoclassical economics isn't dead because of Sraffa, and Marxian economics isn't dead because of the century-old presumption that Marx was an equilibrium theorist, or the presumption that he was a physicalist.

Not completely on topic, but I fear we're rapidly losing many video games of yesteryear to time and their closed-source nature. Luckily, milestone games like Doom and Quake were open sourced some time ago.

Sorry, I most definitely didn't want to make light of the problem!

Pulling data from all the various teams' locally created data stores and external systems to push to analytics is definitely a large problem.

It is perfectly legitimate to doubt the veracity of MSM. However, what is your exact criterion for vetting fake or real information, based only on your personal experience ─ and one which you might need to present or refute in a professional capacity?

I think you are confusing individual cities with the state as a whole. This is also far more of an issue with lack of resources rather than a general policy.

San Francisco's homeless issue has a lot to do with the fact that tolerance is not equally spread across the nation. If every city was equally tolerant, there wouldn't necessarily be more homeless total, but they'd be more evenly spread out across the nation. As it is, they tend to migrate here from other places.

That said, I've lived in SF for nearly 20 years and seen human poop on the sidewalks maybe twice.

An idea adapted from a great talk[0] I watched yesterday: sort ideas by how much you'd learn doing them.

I think in the talk they added new features not in order of cost vs benefit but by how much they'd learn, or how much they'd need to learn to do it. Because what they'd learn implementing #1 would probably totally change the rest of the 'features to add' list, and how they'd add them.

> Surely if X is bad it should be bad for everyone rather than only for big companies.

I worry that regulations like GDPR benefit the existing monopolies, and make it too difficult/expensive for startups. The legal ambiguity of it, and the additional software requirements add a lot of roadblocks if you're a small company. I'd rather the burden be limited to established companies (but I guess that isn't quite fair either).

And for small/side projects, I just don't want to worry about this stuff.
