You're right, I misstated that the order-of-magnitude was a built-in variable, thanks.

Still, if that assumption IS a built-in variable, then the three basic variants I listed would cover an awful lot of use cases.

I'm thinking of this from the POV of an operating system vendor. Like all software components, the supplied options which can be configured or tuned meet the vast majority of customer needs. Those who need (or think they need) something above that generally have the nouse to run their own code and support it themselves.

Assuming most CDNs and streamers run Linux and do want support, you could make the internet massively faster just by getting a fairly relaxed single RemyCC into the upstream Linux kernel, then backported into vendor kernels (Red Hat, SuSE, Canonical, etc).

Then you just need mindshare from the CDNs that their sysadmins will set "net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control = remy"

I'm not saying it's ideal but I am saying it's an improvement over the current state of things.
Yes, but it requires being administrator.
Come to think of it, is a "feces graveyard" a much better solution? As long as they bury feces it a foot or so underground it shouldn't be a problem and sounds a lot more hygienic than the smelly septic tank holes. As long as they mark where feces are buried they can avoid digging them up and let them naturally compost.
So what are some of the possible things one could do with this? What remains to make it the basis of a interactive FORTH system that could be hooked to a serial terminal and used, e.g. in a classroom? (Would that be a useful thing to do? Or would it be better as an embedded node?)
Crediting "India" for the practices of people who lived in the same physical location thousands of years ago seems like a stretch. You might as well credit the English for building Stonehenge, or me for hunting bison with a wood-and-stone spear.
Here's what I used: http://www.edmundoptics.com/optics/optical-lenses/ball-conde...

Basically, I took a piece of rubber, poked a hole in it, and fit the lens in. It took a couple of hours to get the positioning right but after that it worked like a charm :)
This is why micro-benchmarking is Russian roulette.

When you distill a loop until you're finding the exact bottleneck in the system (pipelining, branch prediction, etc) you need to be very very careful you're measuring what you think you are. Otherwise you'll end up in this situation where you're benchmarking a compiler...
I'm not sure what all the fuss is about re: a man's right to choose death.

At the risk of sounding a bit nihilistic, we are just organisms on a spinning rock in space and (I guess) our purpose is to propagate our DNA? What if your DNA is shit, though? I've got an anxiety issue I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Half of my days on this earth are spent in what can best be described as severe jet-lag due to anxiety-related sleep issues.

Because of this, I feel very little joy, have difficulty with a 9-5 job and my relationships suffer, big-time. Girls like me well enough, but I've chosen to stay single and not reproduce because I don't think anyone should have to go through what I've gone through. I fear passing my shit onto someone else.

On top of all that, the world we live in is just monstrously horrible. Most of the world's resources are held by a very, very small minority of the uber-rich and the rest of us are in pseudo-slavery to them. If a part of the world doesn't matter to this group, fuck it, let them die of ebola or whatever.

So getting back to the point, if I want to make a rational decision to kill myself, similar to my rational decision not to reproduce, why shouldn't I be able to do that? If my life doesn't bring me any joy and my presence is a net-negative to humanity, why wouldn't I do it?

I should note that I absolutely will not kill myself because I have family that would be devastated/scarred, including some young nephews and a niece. I won't do that to them. I've chosen to live it out and do whatever I can to minimize the pain.
I've heard that a solid light is better because a drunk driver will be attracted to the blinking light, and naturally turn that way, hitting you instead of passing you. And since this blinks faster as they approach, it seems that it would have this effect even more.
Learning. Why does it take so long?! Specifically, language learning. I wish I could plug a USB drive into my skull and download the ability to speak a new language.
meh. If I wanted to spend that kind of money, I'd go for the Jansport geminate bag. Less expensive for a better build and lifetime warranty.
Richard's doctor, and therefore the media, have portrayed the face transplant as an absolute good--a "miracle" story. This writer is showing that things are not so clearly good.

Richard's family had problems before the transplant; they still have problems afterward. Before the transplant, Richard was apparently working and living with his girlfriend; now after the transplant he is not working and is living at home. He's not supposed to drink; but he does, heavily. His mom is possessive to the point of violence (against his old girlfriend). They live in the middle of nowhere and are bored.

Everyone's lives are being warped by the power of "the miracle story" of the face transplant. Richard gets to feel famous. His mom gets to have him at home, all to herself. The doctors get to feel like heroes, and the media gets a "feel-good" medical story. But to keep all that going they have to hide, change, or lose other parts of who they are.

I would draw a parallel with the many famous stories of poor people who win the lottery but go broke in a few years. What seems like an absolute good ("we're rich!") in fact is a powerful force that distorts all their habits, relationships, dreams, fears, etc.

At the end of the story implies that Richard has a chance to escape the warping, by finding someone who loves him for who he is, not what he represents. His desire to escape is illustrated by his dismissal of his rash. But in the end the story can't be escaped, and he ends up back with the doctors and his mom once again.
To elaborate on the justification for the answer:

So Intel probably shoved popcnt into the same category to keep the processor design simple

In the processor design I work on, we do register dependency checks by partitioning all instructions into a set of "timing classes" and checking the dispatch delay needed between dependent register producers and consumers across all possible timing class pairs. The delays vary depending on available forwarding networks, resource conflicts, etc. Often times we groups instructions into sub optimal timing classes to simplify other parts of the design or just to make the dispatch logic simpler.

Intel's x86 core is waaaaay more complicated than the core I work on and has far more instructions, so I it's probably safe to say that they make these suboptimal classifications often. I strongly suspect that the false dependency was intentional and not a "hardware bug" as some of the StackOverflow comments seem to suggest.
Stay tuned... or bug Anirudh for a sneak preview when you see him at SIGCOMM. (Hi Dave!)
I misread your earlier position as assuming racism, and forced labour from the Singaporean system, and defended accordingly. What you are now talking about, specifically "people deserve in equal measure", is a completely different subject, which refers to what rights are.

The pre-FDR position (to which I subscribe) considers individual rights to define the right to the pursuit of happiness, which ends up really being about property rights (that is, the right to keep what I have earned by exchanging my time and effort against financial or other compensation). These "rights" aren't magically obtained, they are earned by a population that first gains independence from its masters, and then structures its government not to set up new masters. Two examples are the creation of the USA, and Lee Kuan Yew's Singapore.

The "rights" you are arguing for imply a redefinition of "rights" that loosely say "a claim of a base level of happiness to be defined separately" (and then called health services, insurance, food, shelter, etc.). The part of the definition left out is "paid by whom". These "rights" are an infringement of true rights since they naturally imply that these resources will be taken from those who have them in order to be redistributed to those who do not. I moved halfway across the world specifically in protest against such a system (since my voting options were limited anyway). In my experience, those who advocate for FDR Bill of Rights type "rights" are impossible to debate with, because the chasm is philosophical. So I doubt we will ever agree.

From my point of view, even though they are acting in their self interest, the Singaporeans are doing Asia a great favour by sharing their wealth with those who did not take control of their country and set up institutions that protect individual rights, by making labour opportunities available to those outside the island. It is most definitely a "just" system (since foreign workers are protected under Singaporean law against infringements of their individual rights) and seems to be sustainable enough, January riots excepted (and those happened in part because of foreign workers having exactly the same rights, such as roaming around drunk, as the rest of the island).

[Regarding healthcare, I don't know about construction workers, but maids are covered by their employer as part of the package usually. It's very cheap here, since the government hasn't meddled with the insurance and healthcare industries. My health insurance is about a tenth of the US equivalent.]
Maybe one should add, that (as much I understood) it is a problem of the processor handling one specific (and rare) instruction. It does assume register dependencies that do not exist. It was shown, that AMD does not have this behavior. And it shows, that today's processors are enormous complex beasts.

The problem with the compilers was, that they where not aware of this behavior and thus generated sub-optimal code for this situation ... but compiler builders are also mere humans.
Builders get kickbacks from the manufacturer of these smart toilets if they choose to put one in when their client doesn't specify what toilet they want.

Probably not the only reason, but it definitely contributes.

Snapchat: Puberty over, drama ensues
Possibly, something like an elevated platform above a large area might be a better solution for smaller villages. For larger villages, I think you might get into cost-benefit tradeoffs, because the pit might need to be large, and some sort of mechanical system to turn the earth might be required to encourage composting.
I don't think your time would be wasted.

Might help your negotiations, or else you just got started more quickly than you would have otherwise.

"- prevent damage to Australia's international relations that may be caused by the publication of material that may damage the reputations of specified individuals who are not the subject of charges in these proceedings. These orders are made on the grounds that they are:

- necessary to prevent a real and substantial risk of prejudice to the proper administration of justice that cannot be prevented by other reasonably available means; and

- necessary to prevent prejudice to the interests of the Commonwealth in relation to national security. "

What a load of crap. Now that WikiLeaks has actually published the information in the public domain, pray what:
1. Damage has been done to Australia's international reputation?

2. What national security has been affected?

3. What justice has been prevented from being administered? All the Aussies involved in the case will be punished as they are Aussie, all the foreign nationals cannot be touched anyways because they are foreign.

This court order is simply about protecting Australian commercial interests as well as trying to shield the RBA. Securency and its subsidiaries bring in considerable amount of recurring income. Why reveal it's mod op?

It's not really a cultural issue. [1]

If you are particularly puzzled, go to a campsite with vault toilets and stay there for 6 weeks. Afterwards, you will probably think going in the open is way better too.

[1] Well, not primarily anyway -- though I suspect poop is actually considered more disgusting in Indian culture than Western culture, which leads to the "dump it and get the hell away" mentality, which reinforces the lack of use of these toilets.
Can it show addresses to autocomplete even if you don't have created contacts for them?

That's what I want to achieve, and what is currently possible with mu (and notmuch, but through an ugly hack).

I like treating contacts like favorites. I don't manage any, and let my email client / web browser handle them based on frequency.
I guess the unstated goal of this was to create a small, simple and fast soft-core processor that could be used to augment FPGA designs (<15% of a small devices resources @ 100MHz).

Honestly, I wrote this just to scratch an itch. I've always loved the elegance of Forth, and having stumbled upon (http://users.ece.cmu.edu/~koopman/stack_computers/index.html) that, I decided to create my own, with the goal of having single-cycle execution of all non-control-flow operations. Having said that, one could easily take it, and probably fairly quickly implement the Forth interpreter and use it in a classroom if they desired. I guess the explicit goal was an embedded node, but it's fairly flexible.
>Isn't government (even in a representative system) supposed to listen to the people? So why complain when they do (by adopting opposition policies that the people want)?

1) Even if they do, they should give credit where credit is due. They pretended the larger class sizes was entirely their idea. Maybe the opposition should have sued for libel ha ha ha.

2) There are some HIGHLY popular policies that they won't copy, and they are using their power to quash (e.g. minimum wage). This isn't because their ideology prohibits it. It's simply because they are greedy.

>Why is it bad, per se, that a single party has been in charge without change?

"Per se" it isn't. That's not the point.

>Regarding libel, I'd much rather libel cases, than gag orders

And I'd rather have libel than extra-judicial murder. That's not the point. If you want to argue that Singapore is a free and fair democracy the libel abuse has to go. YESTERDAY.

>I don't see cases of blantent abuse of libel laws.

There is one going on right now. A guy who blogged about financial impropriety is being sued personally by the prime minister. Assuming the allegations were true, he will still lose simply because proving the allegations true would require 10-50x more than he has in his legal fund.

Are the allegations true or false? We will never know. I guarantee it. No use pretending that we will. The court case certainly won't be illuminating.

Again: we can't pretend it's a free and fair democracy if they do this, and they do this CONSTANTLY.

>If 40% of the people disagree with PAP, why don't they help finance the defendant, instead of letting him go bankrupt?

Good luck with that!

Again: we can't pretend it's a free and fair democracy until they do sufficiently finance the defendant and they won't. Not now. Not ever. Not while the PAP is in charge.

>Regarding a press strangehold, today, fewer and fewer people are reading physical papers.

Could have fooled me. I see tons of people with the Straits times. They also watch television.

>Plenty of sites - including Singapore Dissident, linked elsewhere - are available just fine on my home connection

Yes, these things exist. I already mentioned this somewhere. They're the only media the opposition really has - and it's poorly funded and badly run and the government is trying to gain more and more control over them too (you heard of the recent blogging laws I presume?).

>I'm not defending PAP for the sake of defending PAP. I'm just finding it hard to reconcile my observations with the criticisms of the country I hear over and over again

Which of my criticisms do you find hard to reconcile?

I live here too remember. I find it easy to reconcile.

How does the performance compare to a Forth implementation on an mcu? There are cheap fast ARM Cortex parts available, is the "100 MHz 16-bit dual stack processor" part directly comparable?
The big difference between Singapore and Israel is motivation. Israelis will probably stay and fight to the death (in fact, they have, during the Yom Kippur war, where Golda Meir forced the US to act by arming nuclear weapons). Ask a Singaporean, particularly if middle class or wealthier, what he'd do if the PLA turned up in large numbers to conquer the territory. Most will admit they'll take the next flight to Australia or the US, although they're happy to fight battles they're willing to win (such as the historical skirmishes with Indonesia, who is happy to stir up fires every so often for political gains).

This is a non trivial point, since if you reside in Singapore, you're basically betting that the only threat the place will face (if not covered by Pax Americana, which is not a given for the next 30 years, as Singaporeans know since their country was effectively founded following events started by the British retiring warships 2 years early to pay for welfare housing; and since when Japan invaded, the Brits ran and it was the locals who took up guns and tried to defend their homes) is the comparatively easy to fight one from the north and south, against which SAF is large and well trained enough to provide a great deterrent. And as Singaporeans will say, those won't attack anyway since all of their politicians have stashed their money here.

Thank you for writing this, it really helped me understand better the actual realities of the situation and relate to it.

American here, when I was a kid I did quite a bit of camping, maybe 4 or 5 nights a month. I remember quite a few campsites had helpfully provided various kinds of septic-tank or deep pit latrines. most or the time I'd end up finding a decent spot out in the woods to do my business as it really was a more pleasant place.

So yeah, given a choice of a hot, smelly, dirty box or a quiet place behind a tree, I'd pick the tree almost every time.

It seems to me then that the problem is that nobody is consulting the villagers as to what would be a preferable environment to do their business. What would they like better? How does that conform to sanitary requirements? Is there some intersection of requirements and desires that might make everybody happy?
We're working on it! Something unexpected is happening. Thanks for hanging in there with us. Please check back!

The Diagonalization Proof Without Infinite Sets
It should be noted that using 64-bit operands, even in 64-bit mode, incurs an extra penalty of 1 byte per instruction, for the REX prefix. The same applies to using the extended registers (the uncreatively-named "r8" through "r15".) This is very much not noticeable for microbenchmarks, where all the code of a loop fits in the cache, but for bigger ones, the effects of icache misses can become quite significant. A smaller instruction sequence that is slower than a larger one when microbenchmarked can become much faster once that code is benchmarked as part of a whole system.
