I think this bug fix is wrong, the previous behavior was both correct and better, and the actual bug is probably in alive2.

The bug report claims

> The domain for (llvm.maximum undef, %x) depends on %x,

But this claim is not true. Here is why, when the LLVM docs state:

> [llvm.maximum returns] the maximum of the two argument, propagating NAN [...]

they are referring to IEEE's 754 maximum semantics, which state that if one floating-point argument to the function is a NAN, the function returns a NAN.

However, IEEE assumes that floating point values are composed of bits, which can be 0 or 1.

That assumption does not hold in LLVM, where a bit can take any of three values: 0, 1, or undef (well there is also poison, but lets leave that aside).

According to IEEE, llvm.maximum(%x, NAN) must return NAN _if_ x is not undef. But if x is undef, then IEEE does not hold.

The LLVM docs do not say what this function should return in that case, so the behavior is IMO currently undefined, and any optimization for this is correct, so we might as well pick the one that enables most optimizations, and that's returning undef (e.g. these cases only legitimally happen in dead code, e.g., expanded from macros, and you want the compiler to better remove this dead code).

There is also the issue of consistency. If we were to replace llvm.maximum(%x, NAN) with llvm.select(%x >= NAN, %x, NAN) then you would think that any number compared with NAN compares to false, and this always returns NAN, but that does not hold for undef, where you get llvm.select(undef, undef, NAN) returning undef or just being plain UB.

So IMO the assumption motivating this fix is wrong. It assumes that undef is a floating-point value, but it isn't. It is something else, and the floating-point rules of NAN comparisons with undef do not apply to it. This fix will only remove optimizations, and delay broken code from standing out, because if your program tries to execute `llvm.maximum(undef, %x)`, your program is broken.

I realise that you're now being deliberately obtuse but still; what is parental leave if not child-rearing?

The biological part is a couple of weeks, child-rearing that parental leave is a part of is for at least 12 months until daycare can take over. Fathers can and should do that as well. So in the end the amount of time away from work should be the roughly equal. So once again, if this sums up to equal portions away from work, which there is no reason not to, is there a biological argument for lower wage etc for women?

Do you also think that pregnant women get their salary deducted for their supposed loss in "productivity"?

Please let me know why this statement isn't true:

> To assume that men need not take part in child-rearing before the child is ready for daycare is a sexist assumption.

knowledge about haskell tends to be presented in a "first principles" fashion for whatever reason, which is unfortunate. It's not a very pedagogically sound method. I think it has to do with the systematic temperament of most haskell programmers. But motivation and example should really come first.

The important thing is to not be intimidated. You can really get away with just mimicing code:

main = do x <- getLine
putStrLn ("Hello, " ++ x)

for quite a while before you find that you actually need a proper understanding of the underlying concepts of eg. what monads are and how they work. This is enough to get your classic beginner command line programs running. You can do useful stuff with a very basic understanding. And yet you see people trying to start with

(>>=) :: m a -> (a -> m b) -> m b
pure :: a -> m a

as if that's supposed to be in any way meaningful or useful to a newcomer. The trick is to find the good tutorials that give examples for concepts first, and do a good job of demonstrating why abstracting those examples is a useful thing to do.

I was thinking at small villages that already are connected to the electric grid, for those you pull a cable on the existing electric polls, is not like if you live in a village you have no internet, in fact in Easter Europe you can get cheap and good internet in villages better then some cities and there is also competition.

What I am thinking if you need to give internet to one rich guy in a remote area you use satellite, if you want to give internet to the entire village you use cell towers or cables.
I've watched several lectures on the subject. Teaching isn't learning, and some of the best teachers rather motivate children to learn on their own through internal or external motivation

I'm a happy iPhone, iPad and Mac user but have also jailbroken some of my old iPhones before so they could be used by family in China.

In the arguments about opening up the iPhone and forcing Apple to allow third party app stores and allow side loading I'm on Apple's side. I think Apple should decide what products they design, how they design them and what features they should have. If I like the feature set, I'll buy the. I do not think it's reasonable for other people to dictate to Apple what code they should write and how it should work, health and safety or deceptive marketing aside. The ability to side load apps would be a software feature that needs to be designed, coded, QA tested, secured etc. Who gets to make all those decisions? I don't think it makes sense to force Apple into doing these things if it doesn't want to do them. You don't like the inability to side load? Buy another phone.

On the other hand once I own a device, it's mine. If I have the ability to jailbreak it, or hack it, or do whatever to it that's my business, not Apple's.

Will you be OK with everyone else doing the same, including people you deeply disagree with?

Because those people also have strong opinions, not because they are evil, but because from their point of view it is the right thing to do.

I'd say: unless you are OK with both Trump supporters, Biden supoorters, Pro-Lifers, Pro-Choice etc etc all bringing their politics to work, be careful about trying to use work for politics.

Edit: let me also add the Communist party, Jehovas Witnesses, the Catholic Church, Hinduism (a number of my colleagues wanting to learn meditation got stuck between two factions arguing loudly and angrily about some detail regarding reincarnation), the local NRA and everyone else. Unless you want to accept them doing activism on company time: don't be the one who starts it.

> in opposition to non-status quo beliefs that you disregard them completely.

Many of us disagree strongly with the status quo because we find it is way too little conservative.

Do you really want us to start using harder tactics instead of sticking to our current strategy:

- hoping the kids on the left will grow up soon. Traditionally in generation after generation they abandon the dumbest ideas after a decade or so. (And yes, this holds true for me too, I was influenced by socialism as a teenager even though I never torched anything.)

- be nice so that others will be nice to us, or at least think twice who they want to support

- stand up for others and hope others will stand up for us (and yes, despite me being deeply "conservative" that also means standing up for immigrants. I do that.)

- vote

- pray

- depending on location: make sure we are able to defend ourselves and our families if police cannot be expected to do so (we don't need to think about that here as crime rates are low and police arrive quickly if you need them)
> The solution (...) [i]s to fix the cultural acceptance of sexually predatory behavior toward women

No, sorry, you're taking the wrong angle here. There's no wide ranging cultural acceptance of sexually predatory behavior, that's why they're called sexual predators and not sex-positive mentors.

And they're attracted like flies to shit to positions of power in these kind of institutions. Please do shelter the victims if you can, and warn them all they're setting themselves up for this kind of abuse.

And yeah, jail the bastards who do act on it, of course. I might as well say that if that's not clear already. But there is a legion behind the ones that get caught vying for those spots for the very same reasons.
Oh totally hypothetical sorry frighten, was just continuing the theme I saw in the previous posts

> I don’t know how much Varsity was involved here, but I suspect, at the very least, that Varsity execs were turning a blind eye to what was happening.

As far as I can tell this is the sum up of his assertion that Varsity is responsible for sexual predators in cheerleading. Everything else is about Varsity having a monopoly on cheerleading and monopolies are bad - both of which are arguably true but I think dodges the question of why sports like this are full of sexual predators, who is actively allowing this, and how can they be stopped.

Sexual predictors aren't going to go away if monopolies are busted up. I think conflating the two is more about headline grabbing than a serious examination of a real problem.
> But you're making yourself the arbiter of what can and cannot be debated.

No I’m not. I’m saying there are topics which are disenfranchising which may offend or threaten a person. If I am offended by such speech (either personally or through a friend or family member) I may react appropriately. My goal may certainly be to silence this speech, but that does not make me an arbitrator does it?

I've been around the block enough times to realise that any tech job inevitably has morally murky dimensions.

It's never in regards the big overarching social issues like racial politics though. It's the advertising companies you work with, the casinos and bookmakers (which is the only time I've made a moral stand at work), or people losing jobs that are replaced by automation.

I have a couple pocket operators from about 6 years ago. You are right, they're just a circuit board with surface mounted buttons. But after years of use including letting me nieces play with them, they still work and are pretty well made (And about $40.. now actually 50-90). For me they're a good learning tool, (PO-12 rhythm being one of the cheapest hardware drum machines.) though functionality is eclipsed by the smartphone in many cases..

I will grant you the optional case was so pricy it wasn't an option I would consider (I think it was like $30).

This is a dead end line of thinking. It ignores that these people might not be able to choose any alternative. If you are faced with starvation and homelessness, you might 'choose' to take an incredibly poorly paid job because it enables you to barely scratch by.

That's hardly a 'choice', it's the companies realizing they have a worker pool they can exploit that will take pennies on the dollar.

Seattle is saying, "No, if you are providing work in this city, you will abide by minimum wage standards like any other employer."
You'd also need to compress the data, as the modern web will need a lot of storage, especially for video.

To have all that in a P2P network on mobile devices, top down, or bottom up, or left to right compression isn't enough, you'd need something like middle out if you want to achieve a Weissman score above 2.9
What a dishonest comment. I'm very sure that you know why that is not needed in Sweden and Norway but you just manipulatively skip that part.
It used to be a joke. It used to be that conservatives and progressives had legitimate disagreements. Liberals tended to be scientist and academics, and that provided a certain kind of evidence that reality backed up their opinions, but a lot of the discussion concerned values and world-views rather than outright denial of reality.

It feels like conservatives leaned into it. "Well, if they're gonna rely on 'facts', let's just take that out of the equation". They started with evolution, where a majority of their base was already just-plain-wrong on the facts, and honed a toolkit where people look to each other and distrust anybody who tells them otherwise. Once they believe that the "mainstream media" is lying to them on one topic, they'll reject anything it says on any topic. At the same time they receive reinforcement that they've outsmarted the people trying to fool them.

That leaves us here, where the joke that reality has a liberal bias has become reality. Liberals are still often wrong on a lot of topics, but there's really nobody to argue with. They won't learn anything from arguing with conservatives, and when liberals argue among themselves, the division leads them to lose elections.
The musician love for TE is on the wane as the company pivots from doing innovative industrial design for creative people to becoming another pointless luxury brand. They sell a $170 blank sweatshirt now.
I'm not going to try to defend this expensive radio thing, but regarding the OP-1 I don't think $1300 is an "unattainable luxury item", I'd reserve that label for something like a proper Leica camera.

There are plenty of ways to spend a lot more on a musical instrument - buy a decent saxophone, or a Moog One! I just found a ukulele online for $1500. The OP-1 seems overpriced because it's very small, but that's also the whole point of it.

Sure, but the point I think is that every one of us is actually benefitting from the proceeds of these ‘crimes’ in real time.

That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t care or ‘object’ to them.

What it does mean is that finger pointing and trying to act like we aren’t part of the problem but ‘they’ i.e. Palantir etc, are, is simply a way of pretending we aren’t complicit.

If borders are a problem, we need to solve that problem by working out a path to eliminating them that actually minimizes harm.

We can’t do that if all our energy is spent on branding people ‘criminals’ and ‘objecting’ to them when we’re part of the same system ourselves.
Blame the employers who choose to hire illegal immigrants, then. If they weren't breaking the law by hiring them, then there'd be greatly reduced motivation to travel here and work illegally (versus attempting to come in legally).
It works pretty well for the most part, since vim verbs and nouns are kind of like acronyms. 'w' goes to next Word. 'b' goes Back a word, 'i' enables Insert mode, 'd' Deletes something. So as long as you know where the keys are, it's fine.

What doesn't work is the default hjkl navigation. On Colemak these keys are on a rotated L shape around the right index finger, where j (down) is above k (up)...

I remapped them based on their position. h: up, k: down, j: left, l: right. Still not as convenient as hjkl on qwerty, but at least it make sense.

When I'm on Ergodox, I map arrow keys to the bottom row like those on Kinesis Advantage. Since they are close enough I use them instead of hjkl.

By putting a price on her sexuality, you'll be harming her as much as any other rando who offers to pay her for the same.

EDIT: this has been on my mind, and perhaps it deserves more commentary.

By putting a price on her sexuality, it establishes the precedent that her body and her intimacy are commodities to be sold. That if someone comes along with the right price (a bag of candy, $1000, a promise of protection), it's OK - if not expected - that she takes the payment in exchange for her body.

The cool thing is that while Coinbase gets to use its inherent power/leverage over workers to get a certain outcome (capital is a form of power btw) workers can use their inherent power (withholding labor, negotiating as a unit, building consensus etc) to get their desired outcome and behavior from the company.

No one owes anyone anything and there are not really any rules here. Consequences and outcomes yes but no real rules.

So the people that work at Coinbase took some action (walkout) and the CEO is taking some action (blog post/policy/vision clarification/severance offers to leave). His job is to convince and use his power to get his desired outcome. But employees have a similar amount of power to change the vision and direction of the company too. They don’t often wield it well since it’s been in business owners best interest to convince workers they don’t have this power at all.

It will be interesting to see if the employees realize any of this and how they respond.
Can we please stop with the fetishization of Iceland and its culture.

There are many positive qualities in modern day Icelandic society, but there are also an equal amount of negative aspects that rarely make it into the international headlines. And most of the positive attention is often based on the delutional ideas Icelanders themselves have as being superior to others (direct lineages to vikings, fighting the elements for generations, having that special spark that can't possibly exist elsewhere on a planet of 7 billion people.....)

In my experience, Icelandic society has an ingrained sense of inferiority from its long history of being left behind as Europe and the US developed further ahead (and from being a tiny spec in the modern landscape).
It wasn't until aid from the Marshall Plan hit the shores of this country that it was able to partially catch up to the rest of the western world (and not until some decades later). Iceland, for its part of being neutral in the war and not having any fighting happen within its borders, got the highest ratio of aid per capita than any other country.

This effect can be seen anytime Iceland, or anything related to the country, gets any positive publicity in the foreign press or by internationally recognized individuals as the local(s)/ news goes crazed reporting on it, even going so far as starting to calling whom ever gave the attention "friends of Iceland" (Íslandsvinur).

Icelandic people will also turn nauseatingly nationalistic when interacting with outsiders, falling over themselves trying to offload as much local history, lore and what they perceive as local wisdom on life and work in an attempt to be elevated in the eyes of those they are talking to, when most times what is said is not grounded in reality or fact.

I say this as a born and raised Icelander.
Wouldn't this include all traffic? As long as it's enabled Windows and Firefox are constantly sending statistics in the background. If this is measured by # of requests, then this would make sense.
Quite a straw man you put forward here.

First of all, You seem to be confused because you are mistaking what happens in Russia, Venezuela and China for actual elections. Whatever happens in those places is certainly not what I meant by the term "elections."

Second, You point to "three" (or are those 3 things really the same thing?) successes in competition, each of which were aided by investment authorized by elected legislators. Then you point to one failure of elections and proceed to conclude that competition is the better of the two. It doesn't follow, I'm afraid.

As for Trump, yes, that was the elections mechanism failing. I never said it was perfect. But the Market competition mechanism fails more often, in my estimation. Neither is perfect, but competition seems to create much higher probability for imperfection, abuse, flaws, and suffering.
