Point 6 goes beyond the voting system. The divide between the moral systems of the people of Portland and the people of rural Oregon, which mirrors the divide of the rest of the country, is a genuine religious schism. The iconoclastic woke and the Christians do not and do not want to share moral beliefs or behavior. There is no resolution to this.

I don't have the C11 standard. But that part of the passage remained unchanged in C99.

In C89 there was a list of PERMISSIBLE things that compilers could do upon encountering undefined behavior. In C99 that was changed to a list of POSSIBLE things. And compilers have taken full advantage of that.
>Which means this complaint is essentially about the idea that certain minorities get that they should have the right to impose their values on the majority.

I don't think you understand what the word impose means. How is asking to leave imposing something on anyone?

If you want to see an example of minority groups imposing beliefs on the majority you should look at BLM and lgtbq communities.

> What sort of logic supports that American values are those held by a minority of Americans. What possible values suggest they are the normal ones?

There's a very present "last bastion" framing in most of the right-wing media I track. It'll depend on exactly what the foundational beliefs of the community are that drive this framing -- John Birch society derivative folks arrive here via a different path than white supremacist survivalists and them a different path than evangelical fundamentalist Christians -- but it's common enough. It goes hand in hand with the notion that the US has fallen from the ideal set forth by the Founders and that only your in-group really gets it and has a hope of restoring it.

Alex Jones is a good, mainstream-ish example. Dude's a Bircher and has spent decades coaching his audience to believe that Globalists are in league with Satan and intend to destroy humanity, if only they could get the US out of the way. Satan/The Globalists are _this_ close to succeeding. Once they do, Real American Values will disappear from the world, ushering in the post-human era. Jones preaches survivalism (sorta, feeding your neighbors to your daughters will give your daughters prion disease) to his audience and I hope you see how the two strains of thought would fester into a framing like you've called out.
> If the value of param is INT_MAX, the behavior of evaluating param + 16 is undefined. It doesn't become defined behavior because a particular implementation makes a particular choice. And the implementation doesn't have to tell you what choice it makes.

The compiler writer argument is as follows:

The program is either UB (when param is INT-MAX - 15 higher) or has exactly 16 iterations. Since we are free to give any semantics to a UB program, it is standard-compliant to always execute 16 times regardless of param's value.
Every application is different, but I'd wager it would strictly be better. The current GC implementions are very good, especially ZGC for pause times, I'd be surprised if a j2me game had a max GC pause time over 1ms with ZGC.
Very nice round-up of techniques. I'd throw out a few that might or might not be worth trying: 1) I always disable C-states deeper than C1E. Waking from C6 takes upwards of 100 microseconds, way too much for a latency-sensitive service, and it doesn't save you any money when you are running on EC2; 2) Try receive flow steering for a possible boost above and beyond what you get from RSS.

Would also be interesting to discuss the impacts of turning off the xmit queue discipline. fq is designed to reduce frame drops at the switch level. Transmitting as fast as possible can cause frame drops which will totally erase all your other tuning work.
> Haha, what? If Oregon is doing stuff, it's definitionally an American value and American Freedom, right? Who gets to decide what an "American *" is?

Have you watched Fox News recently? They're very clear: "American" refers to their (conservative, older, rural) viewers; "anti-American" refers to everyone else. People believe this.
My crazy pet theory: computational bandwidth is constant for any spacetime coordinate. According to Bekenstein bound the lower the temperature of the system the cheaper it is to flip a bit of information. As time progresses the CMBR gets colder, so it's cheaper to flip a bit, but conversely, as time progresses our Hubble volume gets smaller, limiting our total available energy budget to perform a bit flip.
In your mind people should work until every last drop of productivity is squeezed out of them?
"static int y; /* uninitialized /
_Bool cond = f();
int x = cond ? 2 : y; / Is it legal to fold this to int x = 2; ? /
Hopefully, you'll agree that that is a reasonable optimization. Now consider this code:"

Do not agree. That's not an optimization it's just false reasoning. Reasonable would be to either ignore it so the code depends on the uniitialized data, whatever it is, or to flag an error. Also according to the standard, static variable of arithmetic type are initialized to zero by default so there is no UB at all.

Second example has the same problem.

Third example has, for example, assumptions that C does not let the compiler make e.g. that z is a restricted pointer. Imagine that f(int c) { z = getsamepointer(); z +=1;return *z; }

And none of those optimizations existed in the 1980s.

Most of this discussion revolves around integer overflow.

Part of the problem is that most of the computer hardware is now twos-complement arithmetic. Programmers think of that as part of the language. It's not, for C. C has run, in the past, on

- 36 bit ones complement machines (DEC and UNIVAC)

- Machines with 7-bit "char" (DEC)

- Machines with 9-bit "char" (UNIVAC, DEC)

- Machines where integer overflow yields a promotion to float (Burroughs)

- Many GPUs provide saturating arithmetic, where INT_MAX + 1 == INT_MAX.

Go, Java and Rust have explicit byte-oriented models with defined overflow semantics, but C does not. C has undefined overflow semantics.

Many years ago, around the time Ada was being defined, I wrote a note titled "Type Integer Considered Harmful". I was pushing the idea that
integer variables should all have explicit range bounds, not type names.
As in Ada, overflow would be checked. Intermediate variables in expressions would have bounds such that the intermediate value could not overflow without the final result overflowing and being caught. Intermediate values often have to be bigger than the operands for this to work.

This never caught on, partly because long arithmetic hardware was rare back then, but it illustrates the problem. Numeric typing in programming languages addresses a numeric problem with a linguistic solution. Hence, trouble. Bounds are the right answer numerically, but force people to think too hard about the limits of their values.
Delayed choice quantum eraser.
To be clear: these aren't my views. I live on the Coast, and probably work at the same company some of you guys work at. I just also happen to have close friends who live outside of the bubble we all inhabit.

I'm struck by how "homeless" is included in a list containing "criminals", "arsonists", and "rioters". The homeless aren't people we need protection from, they're people we need to help.
There's something wrong with the logic though right? I mean, imagine the Government offered everyone a job doing nothing for $100,000.00 a year. What would happen? Forget about inflation (imagine we import everything and the world never becomes tired of dollars).

Why would McDonald's raise wages to that amount? Why would anyone offer a job that earned the job creator less the 100,000? It seems like the most likely outcome would be that lower paying jobs would disappear not that they would suddenly start paying out more. Either that or the amount of productivity from those jobs would go above that 100,000 amount - which seems functionally the same as saying the jobs would disappear because if you're working at a restaurant generating that much revenue you're doing something far different then the summer job I had.
Name one such optimization. We'll be happy to refute your points for that one.
I mean, I also found the story much more engaging because it involved actual humans with human feelings and reactions.

The JVM heuristics are quite good, and the GCs are state-of-the-art and a beast, so I doubt you would have frame drops because of GC. More often than not you are better off not tuning the JVM.

That is one hell of a comprehensive article. I wonder how much impact would such extreme optimizations on a real-world application, which for example does DB queries.

This experiment feels similar to people who buy old cars and remove everything from the inside except the engine, which they tune up so that the car runs faster :).
The C standard is not the Bible, it is not written by an almighty god. As respectable K&R are, they are humans who wrote a standard for their own needs, based on the state of the art of that time. Sadly C is the work of mortals...

Reading the standard trying to understand the way of god like religious scholars do is a pointless exercise. Modern compiler developers found that exploiting undefined behavior the way we do new leads to interesting optimization, others found it reasonable so now it is the standard.

I think the issue most people have now is that compilers use advanced solvers that are able to infer a lot from undefined behavior and other things, so UB is no longer just "it works or it crashes".
SETI@Home?
Browser Javascript suffers from not producing a single "binary" as its build system output. You do get one bundle, but none of the parts know anything about each other, and it limits the ability to optimize. (It is a lot more like the C preprocessor, rather than a C compiler.) Methods that can't possibly ever be called end up being sent to each user, for no reason other than "well someone could write an eval() that needs that". (I was surprised how poorly tree-shaking works in practice, and how even "light" frameworks like Svelte ship a huge runtime to every user, unrelated to what features the code actually uses.)

Meanwhile, WebAssembly suffers from there not being a good programming language that compiles to it natively. I think the Go support is great, but there's no library support for building the webapps that people get paid to build (React, Apollo, etc. all exist for a reason, however much you hate that reason). AssemblyScript was supposed to be this language, but it's just a Typescript-inspired programming language, it's not Typescript and the npm ecosystem.

I don't know what the details of this implementation are, but the direction I'd like to see web development move is having a statically typed language that compiles to VM bytecode. This sounds like the first step for removing Javascript as a Typescript intermediary. Once that happens, then modern programming language features can be bolted on, people can add good compiler optimizations that result in minimal bytes output for users to download, the module system can be made stricter (like "go mod"), etc. Javascript is just a little bit more dynamic than anyone really wants, and it makes the build/deployment tooling complicated and, frankly, kind of bad.

Good point. C programmers have come to assume that C is a shitty language with terrible semantics and it's their fault for not using Rust or something. They blame the language for the mess made by standards/compilers.

From Injection to Immunity: Insights on mRNA Vaccine Development
While mainstream media and television doctors have done a solid job explaining how the “new” technology included in your COVID-19 vaccine works, it never seems to go pass the level of spike proteins or the fact that the “m” in mRNA stands for messenger.

Macro-Level Picture

Lets start out with how the mRNA is stored within a capsule. mRNA can be thought of as an intermediary between your genes (DNA aka the blue-prints of your body) and proteins, in this case a spike protein, which is the unique virulent factor of COVID-19.

In a traditional biology class you’ll learn the transition of information goes DNA—>RNA—>Protein. Thus, the design of the Moderna and Pfizer vaccine starts at stage 2 of this process. The vaccine gives your body the mRNA to produce a unique feature of COVID, the spike protein. The hope is that your immune system will learn what the protein looks like and build unique antibodies (neutralizing assets) to kill the virus.

How does that mRNA even get to my immune system?

The mRNA sequence of the COVID-19 spike protein has been known for well over a year. Essentially vaccine designers put that sequence within a “bubble” of lipids and cholesterol. The exact makeup of these lipids, and how they may affect entry into the body or invoke a response by your cells has been studied since the 1970’s. Some of the early troubles scientists faced was the composition of the lipid nano particles. Presently, our vaccines have a lipid profile that is similar to the membranes of our own cells, reducing the likelihood of rejection. But back in the 1970’s the makeup of the “bubble” could not easily encapsulate the target of choice nor avoid rejection by our own bodies plasma membrane.

OP’s structure of argument should be a well established anti-pattern.

I wish more people recognized that it is a tempting and lazy logical fallacy. It is fundamentally disrespectful to assume that people who don’t agree with you are too emotional. If you make this argument, you are killing your own argument, unless you support it with facts. OP demonstrates this uncharitability by asserting a lack of data, and then assuming emotions explain it. Go hang out with a more diverse crowd, OP. You are robbing yourself of life’s tapestry.

I’m not closely familiar with the Oregon legislation, but usually decriminalizing drugs is paired with those kinds of approaches, so I would be very surprised if that wasn’t the case with Oregon’s legislation.

> "Periphery" does not have Latin etymology.

Yes, the English word (and the Portuguese cognate, periferia) does have a Latin etymology, via Late and Medieval Latin peripheria.

Now, the Latin word peripheria itself has a Greek etymology, from Greek periphereia. But both Portuguese and English get their word via Latin (and, in the English case, possibly also French, which also gets it from Latin, though sources differ on whether English got it from French or directly from Medieval Latin, and its plausibly not uniquely one or the other.)
