If considering all English translations, you would certainly get a wide variety of opinions about what should be the default for everyone, if default there be; yet I suspect that the substantial majority of informed opinions would support the KJV, NIV and ESV, with all others trailing far behind. As regards user-facing systems, BibleGateway.com has long used the NIV as its default. I certainly wouldn’t; I’m not fond of what the NIV has become. All in all, for an API I would agree with you and recommend no default.

But for a site like this, you’re only considering public domain translations. Given that, I think that the WEB is a reasonable default, specifically because of the paucity of available options. And when you have fewer options, I think a default is more useful—“you don’t have the one I want, so what should I use instead?” will cause paralysis that a default resolves.

On the available public domain English BIbles: you’re generally limited to the KJV, a variety of more obscure translations older than the ASV, the ASV, and the WEB. (Fun fact: the old testament of the RSV and the first edition of the new testament are now public domain for most of the world, including Australia where I live. I grew up with the RSV and still use a second edition RSV as my primary Bible.) Out of these, I don’t think there’s much contest: the KJV is popular for historical reasons but a poor default for the aforediscussed reasons; of the obscure translations, most or all are either unconventional in some significant way, or would be widely acknowledged to be superseded by the ASV, by direct or indirect lineage; that leaves the ASV and the WEB which is mostly just a linguistic update of the ASV. That leaves the WEB as a sensible default public domain translation.

But what they collectively agreed to and wrote down was a pro-slavery document. It drastically boosted the electoral power of plantation states by counting slaves. It enshrined a national mandate to hunt down and recover slaves who escaped to the north. The one part of the Constitution Article V prohibits amending is the moratorium on slave importation laws!

Clearly, despite whatever lip service they felt they needed to pay to their forefathers, Lincoln's Republicans sharply reconsidered the consensus of the founding fathers, tore up the old rules, and remade them.

And whatever deference you want to give to Lincoln's political rhetoric over his actions, I don't see how you can muster any similar defense for the 19th Amendment.

And, respectfully: so long as the path we take to reaching a reconsideration of the 2nd Amendment --- a reconsideration supported by a pretty big faction of constitutional scholars! --- follows the rules in the Constitution, nothing has been "canceled". We're using the tools we've been provided specifically for the purposes they were provided for.
That would be one solution; the one big problem is future revelation. Either someone buys them out, there is a breach, insider information/leak etc.

But in principle it sounds like it may work though I’d like to see an enforceable TOS that doesn’t undermine the purpose.

Stack Allocation in Java's OpenJDK HotSpot C2 Compiler
Some big.little's have very good interconnect / memory access. Some systems have remote NUMA memory - you are going off one board over an internconnect to another board to memory there.

The headline is so misleading. I could wire together a ton of machines over 10mbs, and yes, I could get NUMA going on it and a high core count, but the performance would be horrendous. Maybe you could even run super NUMA over DB9 9 bit serial ports with remote memory access latency in hours?
It seems to me that something that might make a difference on greenhouse gas emissions from food and that I don't see activists working on is making vegetarian and vegan diets more accessible. For example:

- Developing recipes that a palatable, convenient, relatively cheap, and which meet people's nutritional goals.

- Teach people to cook those recipes.
This starts to blur the line in my head between the low-level system concepts that your compiler/OS has to think about and the concepts you have to think about for distributes systems.

With the hardware systems and interconnects today, we've drawn a line in the sand based on what we've seen work and fail. Something like Redis is fairly well understood for many architectures. But when you have crazy NUMA architectures and different memory models like Intel Optane, what changes? Where do you draw the "new" line for when to use Redis vs keep everything "local" to one box?

Will we see a local Kubernetes extension (or new software) that makes building for "massive boxes" easier?

Kind of a cool idea.

I was there during the liberalization. What a time to have witnessed. I remember the headline when coke bought Parle, for what was then an eye watering number.

And then several years later, TATA motors bought JLR. Of the two purchases, Coke definitely seems to have gotten the better of it.

It’s quite impressive what was managed in 1991, and the deep impact it’s left on the country.

I can't see how that would be true. How would you get the solutions to the others by knowing how to do one of them?
I too keep hearing this repeated but without empirical support. Same goes for the idea that garbage collection can be faster than manually managed memory.

In practice, PGO has been the best possible compilation regime that I have ever found.

Cancel culture is not just that. It is the 21st century version of ostracism.

She was not just "criticized" for it. You have industry-related websites now claiming to mention her only with hashtag #JKR. She's literally become "the one who shall not be named". Who knows what will come of any future project that she is working on. All of that for the very controversial opinion of "There is a word for 'people who menstruate' that the newspaper could've used"

Also Martina. One of the first openly gay tennis players, an actual defender of women's rights, "canceled" because she dared to say that trans-women would have an unfair advantage and should not be put to play with biologically-born women. The audacity...
We live in a capitalist society. You reduce demand by increasing costs. The rich are the least affected. That's just how it works.

I'm broadly in favor of making society more equitable, but I'm wary of the idea that we can solve both at once. The purveyors of the "Green New Deal" disagree with me, and I'm not at all opposed to what they're doing—but I worry that, the more problems you try to address at once, the harder it is to reach broad consensus. We need to fix climate change.

A simple carbon tax, by the way, could also alleviate this problem, by distributing the proceeds back to the populace.

Except that PGO is in the box for most production quality JITs, the PGO data is even optimized between executions, while most developers never bother with using the PGO toolchains for languages like C and C++.

Even if they lose in micro-benchemarks championships, it hardly matters in most enterprise codebases.
This is accurate. As far as I can tell, this work is akin to discovering the Josephson effect for superconducting qubits. Still a lot of work to be done to figure out how to braid anyons or build better anyons, etc.

TBH I didn’t even expect anyone to find them at all for another few decades, so this result is pretty cool.

In nl we call all of them windmills. We even have 'watermills', windmills that pump water, the same term is also used to indicate a water driven mill. But from a tech perspective you are right, Wind Turbine is the correct name.
Isn't this because Java is designed for JIT compilation, or at least not designed (with the appropriate tweaking knobs) for AOT compilation?

Languages built with AOT compilation in mind (e.g. Rust or Nim) usually give you lots of ways make choices at compile time and give hints to the AOT compiler that the JIT compiler would instead try to infer at runtime in Java.

But by infering these things at runtime intead, maybe the JIT approach makes it easier to get fast code in those cases where you (as an application developer) don't want to put a lot of effort into optimization?
> Complaining that these corporate PR statements are anything other than lip service is like complaining that the world isn't fair, or that everyone dies. Perhaps a sad truth, but one you should've figured out by the time you turned twelve.

Its not so much that you or I have not figured this out; it is something which apparently works because a significant group of people have not figured this out; they're falling for it.
It goes both ways actually.
The Constitution you took an oath to defend includes a mechanism for altering it, which is why we no longer have chattel slavery, why women can vote, why we vote for senators, why we have a federal income tax, and why we have presidential term limits, all of which contravene consensus principles among the founders.

You could even litigate some of these changes --- maybe it's a bad thing that we directly elect senators! --- and your argument still fails, because to survive, it has to establish that "fuck the beliefs of these old dead white guys" is a uniquely disruptive idea, when in fact it's an idea we've had over and over again throughout our history.

There is a standard drink (differs by country, I believe UK even has labels showing the amount of standard drinks contained) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_drink

This study is from US, so:

“For example, in the United States, a standard drink contains about 14 grams of alcohol“

Not sure if that’s what subjects reported, though. But I guess MDs, PHds and reviewers would have taken it into account.

Which they will use to drive fancy cars.
No unfortunately - it's a closed-source Enterprise feature I believe. But the current differential is pretty large and nobody is shouting loud that they can fix it using the PGO that I've heard. And what will the PGO determine that a JIT can't also do?

I think you’ve made an argument for free trade, but your examples and logic don’t refute the value of protectionism.

China is a ridiculously protectionist state - people in the west had theorized that the market would force China to more opennness and democracy back in the day.

China instead found a way to run a market with Chinese characteristics - a dual contract system where the English contract holds little power, knowledge transfer, a closed media environment and more.

It’s worked too. China suggests that some players can extract the benefits of free trade and protectionist policy.

The electronics shop across the street has its display windows lit all night, with two or three giant TV screens telling the (very few) passers-by to buy a Google Home so they can talk to their smart light bulbs, or whatever.

The command line version actually allows you to "not trust the server". But thinking it through I agree that the in-browser version could get served a different JS that grabs the hash and sends it to the server. This would be easily detectable, but it does seem like problem with the concept.
but from a higher level.. you could just reimplement the thing in C++ with gcc and the whole thing will probably perform better.

Basically what I’m saying is that I’ve never seen any substantial rewrite of decent C++ code into Java perform better, even if jitting has benefits on a small scale, it’s not substantial enough to overcome other overheads in managed languages.

That's what I've been thinking of as well. Anonymous identities which are linked to your real identity in some way. It could prevent the sock puppet issues without exposing you to privacy issues.

The article says the goal of Persuasion is to serve as a platform for the group the author terms "philosophical liberals" to argue their case. A "fighting magazine", he calls it. It doesn't seem to be meant as an unlimited space or a pure response to witch-hunts.
The scenario is indeed there - if you take early 2017 numbers and restrict yourself to AWS/Google/Azure and outdated hardware and software, you can get to the US$1000 figure.

Likewise, if your other point of comparison is late 2019 AlibabaCloud spot pricing, you can get to US$10 for the same task.

Realistically, though, that's worst case 2017 vs best case 2019/2020. So you sure, you can get to that if you choose your numbers correctly.

They basically compared results from H/W that even in 2017 was 2 generations behind with the latest H/W. So yeah - between 2015 and 2019 we indeed saw a cost reduction from ~1000 to ~10 USD (on the major cloud provider vs best offer today scale).

I only take issue with the assumption that the trend continues this way, which it doesn't seem to.
Is this the same definition for "rollback" netcode? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GGPO#Design

> GGPO uses a netcode technique called “rollback”. Rather than waiting for input to be received from other players before simulating the next frame, GGPO predicts the inputs they will send and simulates the next frame without delay using that assumption. When other players’ inputs arrive, if any input didn’t match the prediction, GGPO rolls back the state of the game to the last correct state, then replays all players’ revised inputs back until the current frame. The hope is that the predictions will be correct most of the time, allowing smooth play with minimal sudden changes to the game state.[6][7] The system in itself is highly similar to client-side prediction, but applied to a peer-to-peer setup.

I'm not sure what the problem is.

I've refactored methods and functions all the time to try and improve clarity. Removing words, changing meaning so that people who read it grok it.

I don't have a problem with changing terms. But people take a hard-line ideological stance against it because they perceive change as being weak or a slippery slope or something.
I mean, that seems appropriate given the topic were discussing right now.
Huh? No, that’s not what I meant.

Companies prefer to not be in the news. So what they do is seek out the mainstream and align itself to it.

BLM was not mainstream 3 months ago, so companies remained quiet.

Now, not showing support for BLM runs the risk of unfavorable PR. So they put out a low risk statement.
I don't care about dog whistles. I do care that many Republicans have gone to great lengths to prevent black people from voting. That they have dressed up their racist disenfranchisement efforts with concerns about nonexistent problems impresses me not at all.

Do the effects of it exist? In that it suppresses peoples' legitimate (non hateful) opinions?

Then it exists.
If you wanted to learn a lesson from that, it’s that your stakeholder management probably isn’t very good. If your ideas are being adopted when suggested by somebody else, then you know you have ideas that the business likes. Your potential impact however is going to be limited by your ability to convince other people that they’re good.

I see this a lot with engineers who often resent having to participate in office politics. The result is that they come across as dogmatic, and unable to appreciate the concerns of other stakeholders, so people can be unwilling to trust their advice.
That's mostly how I matured as a developer: I find myself abstracting less and writing less code today than I did 10 years ago, but I'm more productive today, my code is cheaper to maintain and has fewer bugs. Sometimes, I will literally copy paste a small amount of logic just to avoid making a future reader of this code to keep hunting around where the business logic is actually implemented. "It's right here, my dear future reader!".

Or maybe I was just a really bad programmer 10 years go :)
