> push girls and boys to choose different jobs based on their gender?

Nowhere did I suggest as much. I am simply suggesting that the gender roles we ascribe to children early on leave permanent impressions upon what they choose, and maybe more importantly, what others expect of them.
IIRC IQ has lost a lot of validity as a metric. TLDR: it's basically a back-slapping measure of how western-traditional-logic-problem-educated you are, and therefore a great proxy for success in life (because if you had the time to follow logic problems as a kid in a developed society or near proxy thereof, then you probably had good nurture and good resources).

How does this differ from existing LLVM interprocedural optimizations? Particularly value propagation sounds like it would handle a lot of these cases.

> You might have heard of dead-code elimination, an LLVM optimization pass that removes code proven as unreachable. I was actually interested in less-obvious situations. In particular blocks that are reachable on the control flow graph, but not when consider wider execution invariants.

I've got a trivial example here: https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/7EnPG5WM6 noinline is added to foo to demonstrate Clang is actually changing the number of arguments foo takes, and its inlined the arguments from bar and baz.

> Can we use information on the call-sites and the corresponding format strings to prove that some code paths, for example formatting for floating point numbers, are actually never taken?

Seems to already have that effect in Clang. Using Emscripten 3.1.3, compiling 2 different main's with just

printf("Hello world %d\n", argc);

And

printf("Hello world %d %f\n", argc, volatileFloatArg);

For the single int arg, the top 3 symbols by size are

47.7% 2.65Ki -NAN(IND)% 0 printf_core
7.4% 421 -NAN(IND)% 0 [section Data]
6.6% 375 -NAN(IND)% 0 main

And for the one that added a float arg,

34.5% 3.04Ki -NAN(IND)% 0 fmt_fp
28.8% 2.54Ki -NAN(IND)% 0 printf_core
5.1% 464 -NAN(IND)% 0 [section Data]

So when a float argument wasn't passed into printf, it did not include fmt_fp, a delegate that handles floating point for printf

One issue that can complicate this analysis is linking multiple libraries that reference standard library (or functions in other libraries). If you're linking together object code, without more IR context, LLVM is going to have to be more conservative. So I think if you link in a WASM object code file that references printf, it won't be able to perform all the IPO that will allow it to trim the CFG.
As a general rule, if you're referencing the dictionary definition of a word to make your point, you're just playing semantic games.

You know what people also find complicated? Hundreds of lines code being repeated with superficial edits because of golang's lack of ability to abstract higher-level ideas. It's a stupid toy example, but for a very large number of people

nums.take(20).select(&:odd).reduce(&:+)

is less complicated than

sum := 0
for i, v := range nums {
if i > 20 {
break;
}
if v % 2 == 1 {
continue;
}
sum += v;
}

The former is less complicated for those people (including me) because it expresses high-level intent rather than low-level implementation. Multiplied over a large code-base, the ability to express intent adds up to an enormous saving in mental overhead rather quickly. You can always drill down and focus on implementation where it matters, but with golang there's almost zero ability to separate a program's detailed implementation from a high-level description of what you're actually trying to accomplish.

The Ruby version of this is also less bug-prone (did you spot the bug in the go example?). And it's also easier to apply to new contexts: the former works automatically for infinite enumerations.
I use it constantly and hope I never have to code without it (or something better) again. It does a good job writing the kind of boring code I don't want to write, and it generally seems to include fewer errors than I write in my first drafts of code. More than once I ignored its suggestion and wrote my own version, only to later realize its version was more correct and efficient. It does a good (sometimes incredible) job of even handling pretty specialized subject matter, and of using the context of other code and comments you've written to suggest exactly what you need next.
Trackpad isn't fantastic either, it's unusable out of the box but the community made a patch that makes it mostly ok.
> Isn't that the exact opposite of disappearing?

Asking for a civilian to be tried for treason by a military tribunal for saying... the same things that a government official has said, but in a way that makes the government look bad, is the same thing as abandoning the rule of law.

We've only ever done such things during the Civil War, and even then Lincoln only suspended Habeas Corpus in limited places as needed. And Lincoln violated the Constitution in that case, as suspension of Habeas Corpus is, by its location in Article I of the U.S. Constitution, clearly only something Congress can do (though Article I, section 9(2), does not actually say so), and Chief Justice Taney correctly concluded as much in Ex Parte Merryman. (That said, I think Lincoln by and large did the right thing.)

Yes, we've had wartime restrictions on speech that sucked and were not constitutional and should not have been used at all, both in WWI and WWII. But we didn't treat such speech as Treason, nor did we have military tribunals for those speakers, nor did we suspend Habeas Corpus at any time other than during the Civil War. And those were declared wars. Trial of civilians by military tribunals is really only something you'd expect in a civil war, and only when the constitutional order has fallen apart.
Discord is one of the most popular chat platforms. Imagine IRC, but more modern and the developers actually care about UX.
The first published discussion sounds like satire (or a hyperbolized example), but the description given by Guy Debord seems pretty straight forward to me. If I were try to put it even simpler, I would define it as: "Psychogeography is the study of why people enjoy, or behave in certain ways in, certain surroundings over others".

That being said, the fact that Debord claims both that psychogeography is the study of "precise laws" and that psychogeography is "charmingly vague", seems conflicting.
That's badly written code. Timezones (globally) changed over time. Even Bush Jr. changed DST.

Publishing Obsidian.md Notes with Gitlab Pages
This isn't a constructive way of arguing, it's an irrefutable strawman
Let us also note the utter lack of precision in this argument. The only date provided has to do with another round of conscripts on April 1st which is 17 days out. The author just makes a lot of hand-wavy arguments about various logistics issues Russia is possibly (or even likely) experiencing. That's not really solid grounds to make a specific 10-day prediction.

Worked at the largest stock market listed supermarket in the 90's which is one of the largest employers in the UK after the NHS. They banned all but essential recruitment and cut back on everything like payrises, capital replacements to maximise profits because they didnt know how the Socialist Labour Govt was going to be with taxation. As it happened the Govt introduced working tax credits so a wage top up for the lowest paid, paid for by higher earning workers and it meant these companies could keep wages suppressed so they could build up a war chest and expand overseas which ended disastrously in the US.

Theres more than one way to skin a cat as they say, so layoffs can be seen in a few different lights.

Edit. Just because a company is listed on the stock market, like govt's doesnt mean they are not fronts for criminal activity!
While not the specific focus of this article, I found that having a successful spouse helped both of us earn more - we always had a reasonably accurate baseline to compare our progress/earnings against and know when it was time to make a move.
Airplanes receive software updates all the time.
I have lived my entire life in 3 different cities, all of which have regional reputation for "it rains a lot".

I do NOT understand the complaining, I'm sorry. First of all, "grey" isn't dark - grey overcast days are still plenty bright. Blue skies are lovely, sure. But you know what every place I've lived in gets for all that rain? LUSH, GREEN FOILAGE. Grass, trees, everywhere. LIFE.

You know what else comes with all that rain? Temperate climates. It's never too hot or too cold. We don't need airconditioning in the summer (except for a couple of days), nor have to shovel snow in the winter (except for a couple of days).

I look at something like Arizona that people rave about the climate over and I see dusty desolate deserts, where people have to spend exhorbitant amounts of water to keep tiny patches of parks and grasses alive.

I understand comparing tropical oceanfront climates like Florida and California unfavourably - there is a reason we think of these areas as vacation getaway hotspots. But most people complaining aren't from those climates - they are just from other parts of the world that are more "seasonal" and so they expect big snowstorms in the winter, and long hot days without rain in the summer. But all complaints about needing the sun, or the lack of vitamin D, are all subjective personal experiences.

Having grown up and lived with it all my life, I think it's highly offensive how people complain about the rain without acknowledging all the benefits that it brings.
I'm from the Netherlands as well, and I'm very scared of the talks of permanent DST over here. Which means that the sun would rise at 9:45 if we permanently switch to DST. Our country would be better suited at UTC, instead of UTC+1. Keeping it permanently at UTC+2 would be a special form of hell for me.

ZZ and ZQ are both very nice.

On the note of saving/quitting and things not being mentioned enough, I only recently learned about :up to only save the file if there were actually changes (probably short for "update). Saves some time, especially with remote files, if you're one to save a lot and not remember if you saved recently already. I think this is closer to how emacs saving works by default. I bind space-f-s to save files, and tend to use that more than :w or similar, so in my case I just updated what that keybind did.

> Wait, what? I'm American... South American, to be precise.

Just to be precise, being American means you're from the United States of America. I don't call myself North American, for example. Neither does anyone else. When you introduce yourself you don't say "Hi I'm the_af and I'm from America". That would be confusing, unless you're actually from the United States.

> The US as world police doesn't exactly fill me with confidence, given their track record in our part of the Americas.

Compared to what?

> Whether this world policing is a "US liberal" or a "US right-wing" thing is of no interest to me. Both camps will call anyone who disagrees anti-American, anyway. (I think right now it's more of a "US liberal" thing but it used to be "US center-right/neocon". US politics are confusing!).

The "let's get America out of international organizations" rhetoric are right-wing talking points propped up by countries that seek to divide democracies. Brexit is another good example. It's not that you're being called "anti-American" it's just that you're incorrect. The rhetorical talking points that discredit our international institutions and create anti-American sentiment seek to destroy those institutions (because they're maintained by the United States) to get the US to withdraw from those organizations to collapse them.
If I minted a well-balanced coin and flipped it with a promise to destroy it afterwards, it would not at all be misleading to characterize it as having a 50/50 chance of coming up heads. Even in the frequentist interpretation of probability, the odds before a one-time event have a meaning: they're the fraction of similar events that would resolve in a certain way if it was to be repeated.

>remember 538’s confidence that Hillary would win the election in 2016

Yeah, 538 was confident. It wasn't misleading for them to announce a high probability, unless you thought 538's confidence was the same thing as The Probability.
Natural time wasn't good enough while in agrarian society. Natural time was good enough in an unconnected society. When it took days to traverse the country, solar time worked. You couldn't really keep pace with the sun. People were academically aware of the difference, but it didn't mean much. The fact that it was daytime for the king of England while it was nighttime for the emperor of Japan didn't matter. That trip would take months regardless. So coordinating events was expressed in terms where even half-day variances didn't matter.

Planes, trains, and automobiles changed all of that. That and modern communication. Today, it matters. Now if I need to talk to someone in Japan, I have to coordinate things so that we're both awake. It matters if it's nighttime to them. Which is why we do have a universal clock. It's just expressed differently based on your distance from the prime meridian.

But, it's not the expression that matters.

Daylight Savings Time (DST) is a very stupid way to deal with a lot of stupid people. Everyone here arguing about making people adjust schedules, etc. That's exactly what DST is. But instead of your local grocery saying "Yeah, we're opening at 5am for these months" we just tell the entire country to change their clocks. Which is the same net effect. It's a fiction we engage in to pretend we're not inconveniencing ourselves. And in some ways, it probably is easier this way. It's controlled, determined, and doesn't require a ton of signage to be changed. We already have to set clocks, so it all works out.

I think a lot of the arguments about the "extra hour of sunlight" are kind of stupid. Because, it's not an hour. It's not going to be pitch black regardless. And most of what people do after work involves walking from the inside of one building to the inside of another. But then again, I wake up between 5 and 6 and go to bed between 10 and midnight.

I'd prefer for it to be on Standard time year round because if you are X zones from the prime meridian, you should be +/-X based on that. But, once again, time zones are really stupid because they don't conform to distance from the prime meridian. Morocco is +1 UTC despite being completely to the west of prime meridian. Most of Greenland is -3 despite spanning 5 zones, with one small section actually observing UTC despite being in the zone that should be -1 and the section that is -1 actually should be observing -2.

And look at the US on this map (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/88/World_Ti...)

Central Time is the most dominant zone going from the westernmost point of Texas to most of the Florida panhandle. Most of Texas should be -7, not -6. And so on and so forth. I bet if you "fixed" this kind of bullshit, more people would be in favor of Standard time year round. Or at least less opposed to it.

I made things because I legit thought, "these people are stupid, they haven't leveraged this brilliant insight, I can do this better," and then find out that none of that is true. Dead demos include a protocol for encoding hashes in QR codes for tokenizing all the things in a supply chain, a marketplace for anonymously referring non-fit employees and coworkers out to recruiters to get them hired away, a collaboration tool for producing security features of a product using threat modelling, etc. The conceit beneath each of them was they weren't for anyone, they were in reaction to a situation, and a kind of expression of thwarted nerd revenge on the world. Maybe it's a great impetus for writing pop songs, (though perhaps more emo), but not for making tools for people. They were un-buyable and un-investable for all the reasons.

The question I've learned to ask is, "is there a specific person you have talked to in the last 6 months who this is for and who wants this?" Can't say I always live by that advice, as I still have another troubled-loner-ware project in me, as the creative urge is merciless, but the one thing I would never do is discourage a friend, I would only accelerate them to their next conclusion. The best you can do is help them forward faster, and if they find a dealbreaker, it's better they find it fast and move on to the next one.
Headless CMSs somehow
As a kid, I always enjoyed the time of year when i would walk to school in the dark before sunrise. It had a quiet serenity, and bonus points if it was snowing.

My takeaway is that it's a matter of personal predisposition. Maybe people should move to the east or west end of their timezone based on their light-vs-dark time-of-day preferences. :)

Yes, moving it to IANA. Maybe the packaged DBs were 'standard', in a sense, but you couldn't just take a file from one and drop it into another; they were configured or serialized in various ways. Regardless, it meant updating a dependency when things changed; I don't know the state of historical timezone information at the OS level at that time, but I do know none of the libraries I looked at made OS calls.

I don't know for sure; even if it purportedly is, there's probably no way to verify that no hardware backdoors have been inserted, if that's your concern. And rebuilding the CPU with your desired modifications would require signing the appropriate agreements with your fab provider of choice and probably a million dollars or so over a year or two. Still, you could probably do cycle-accurate simulations on an FPGA at a lower clock speed, if that's what you're into.

I sort of lost faith in percentage guesses the night of the 2016 US elections when I watched the NYTimes prediction flip from >95% Clinton wins to >99% Trump wins in a matter of seconds.

It really opened my eyes to how illusory the utility of the percentage was - if it can flip that hard that fast, clearly it was never really only a <5% chance of happening, and the guesser really didn't know anything meaningful. It's astrology for the educated.

Dunno. Mining is all about hashrate/$ and scalpers are all about the % profit. Seems like AMD could easily make today's APU with 2x the bandwidth (less than 1/5th of the Apple Studio/M1 max) make a tidy profit and provide 2x the APU performance and make the APUs a good fit for a much larger fraction of the GPU intensive applications.

Not like they aren't shipping by the millions in the XboxX and PS5, there's obviously a demand for them and AMD is obviously capable of making them (they make the CPU in both).
