It is definitely possible (though not trivial in many cases) to detach the language syntax from the language semantics, allowing multiple syntaxes for the same language semantics. But detaching the semantics from the runtime, something you do not describe above, would be a very different thing: the runtime is a /part/ of the language semantics, and while you can definitely create multiple languages that share a runtime (as the JVM languages do, for example), any decision about the shape of the runtime is going to involve tradeoffs in capabilities, so there will never be one runtime environment to rule them all.

What's needed are means of easily communicating between runtime environments, which is of course what protocols are.
I found this line amusing.

So basically you're advocating a single LLVM like solution over diversity? I don't think that would be able to provide the "prefect" solution to everyone's problem.

There are so many solutions because there are so many problems.

And to say that programming languages and platforms don't influence each other is no more correct than saying human languages don't influence each other.

But maybe I have missed your point?
Of course those are all transactions. The helping hand, the caring kiss from the depths of motherly love, etc - they are win-win transactions. The baby gets comfort and love and the mother gets a dose of oxytocin to encourage further bonding. The friend offering a hug provides comfort and gets the good feelings of helping/offering comfort. Win-wins, but still a transaction, an exchange of value. Time, attention, love, care - these are all benefits that can be given and received.

Same with business - win-win transactions are best. When you provide something that others find valuable and you receive something valuable in return (loyalty, money, hype, etc) it's a good thing.

I assume you already know this but it's not an easy journey and it will take time.

I am on the same journey as you and my conclusion is that I am essentially a creature driven by emotions. My emotions get the better of me and I revert back to my old state where I will bluntly tell someone how I feel about them and their work.

Just last week I had to bring appology chocolates to work. Self improvement was never easy.

Really, the main change I see now is that I almost immediately regret my words or actions, but I still have to work on the immediate apology that should follow that regret.

Social norms push men into family/friendships less than women. For the average man, his spouse is the bridge to his social world. Women have more direct connections. A man depends on his family for social stability more than a women does.

I recall an article on exactly this suggesting that this is the only stereotype that TV can screen now which won't offend.

For example, switch around the person who embodies the bumbling figure and in most cases it would be frowned upon or not effective.

It's possibly a power thing. Maybe it's ok and fun (not right) to poke fun at those perceived with the most social power. In most other situations, it's like kicking someone when they're down. I didn't say I agreed with this, just that it might explain why it is more "acceptable" at the moment.

Above everything though, I do find this set up incredibly boring. It was funny the first couple of times but it's been done ad nauseum now. Ad agencies and comedy writers, please up your game.
I completely agree with (2) and (3), but have you really tested (1), with a blind testing technique and a considerably large sample size? I find when people are talking about how they can tell apart analog from (good) emulation, or 320kbps mp3 (compressed with a proper encoder from a high-quality source) from flac or wav they didn't actually try to do that in a statistically meaningful way.
It's not favors that money represents, but rather a convenient frozen form of productive labor and goods. It represents time.

The world does not owe you a debt or favor just because you possess that money. I don't owe you a debt, such that I have to give you anything for that money if I choose not to; and nobody else does either. Viewing money as a debt owed, is a very incorrect way to look at it.

To prove the point, try walking up to someone and telling them that you have a piece of government paper in your pocket that represents a claim on their shoes, and since they owe you a debt you demand they give you their shoes (or really anything else for that matter) right now. See what happens.
He should tell everyone that it was actually 32,000 USD that was taken from him.
George Orwell wrote a fantastic essay on this that is worth reading:

>In our time, political speech and writing are largely the defence of the indefensible. Things like the continuance of British rule in India, the Russian purges and deportations, the dropping of the atom bombs on Japan, can indeed be defended, but only by arguments which are too brutal for most people to face, and which do not square with the professed aims of the political parties. Thus political language has to consist largely of euphemism, question-begging and sheer cloudy vagueness. Defenceless villages are bombarded from the air, the inhabitants driven out into the countryside, the cattle machine-gunned, the huts set on fire with incendiary bullets: this is called pacification. Millions of peasants are robbed of their farms and sent trudging along the roads with no more than they can carry: this is called transfer of population or rectification of frontiers. People are imprisoned for years without trial, or shot in the back of the neck or sent to die of scurvy in Arctic lumber camps: this is called elimination of unreliable elements. Such phraseology is needed if one wants to name things without calling up mental pictures of them.

The previous is suggesting opinion on threads would bias around popular personalities on the site. pg is popular here, others are too, but not all are universally "important" to the world. Publicizing to a greater extent these personalities' thoughts on subjects will drive out other viewpoints, as commenters self-edit in hopes of those up-votes.

In the case of your example, if someone important likes what you said and you feel rewarded for that, you're more likely to say that (or something similar) again, regardless of the objective merit of the statement.

Say your comment was "Java is stupid". it only gets 3 upvotes, but XYZ likes it. You feel validated, so next time the subject comes up you say it again. Commentary was then shaped by a personality rather than the merit of the commentary.

Oh yes, very good strategy for a startup fighting against another startup. I'm sure a letter written by a lawyer will be effective at least in draining Cushion's bank account. Unfortunately in cases like these Cushion doesn't have legally much to go on because it's not super unique design. Only reasonable course of action is to raise awareness and he chose to do that. He also chose to do that without naming the competitor which is of course very classy and smart from Cushion's point of view but does very little for Cushion as a whole. This is a great opportunity to play the competitor out of the market by turning their lust for shortcuts against themselves. Proper way to "return the favor" to the competitor is to get other people telling others about it.
A reasonable question. Perhaps it's not and there's no reason for anyone to take any time to say anything when someone's wrong.

But if they do take that time and say something, then it's not unreasonable to consider the goal. Is it to demonstrate superiority and massage ego? Unkindness works well.
If it's to help someone correct a mistake, do better next time or bring their conversational partners thinking closer to theirs on a subject, then kindness is likely to work better.

Personally, I prefer to work with someone who's right and delivers the message in a way they think I and my other colleagues will respond well to, than someone who's right and delivers the message thoughtlessly, or in a way designed to maximise their own pleasure.

A database model for an online survey. Part 4
Okay. This is is a derail, but whatever. My claim is:

1) Pretty much every telecom system in the world uses the Internet to transmit their data stream at some point.

2) The NSA (whether through Agency-installed taps or data sharing agreements with others) has the ability to intercept all of the data that hits the Internet. Of the data that they intercept, they almost certainly retain every not-completely-useless bit.

3) Statistically speaking, someone involved in a credible terror plot has had that communication data cross the Internet. People aren't that good at OPSEC. Shit, even Army officers fuck OPSEC up from time to time.

4) 1, 2, and 3 mean that somewhere in NSA's vast data warehouse is evidence of a credible terror plot.

Note that I don't claim: "The NSA has learned of at least one credible terror plot using the data that they have obtained through their dragnet.". Indeed, if a plot had been stopped by data from the dragnet programs, I would expect that fact to be trumpeted from the rooftops. :)

They're drowning in data. They can't analyze it all. Pervasive full-take programs are bad for reasons beyond the obvious civil liberty ones.

1. I don't see how this point has any relevance. Of course the variance between outliers in a population is going to differ greater than the variance between population means. What does that have to do with anything?
2. The IQ disparity among the races is well studied, well researched, and well documented. It sounds like you need to do more reading on the subject.
3. So now it's clear that while he was making a general comment about the need to accept the reality of differences among the races, you're making it out to be a comment against black people. Ok. But I'll respond to your tangent: It would be ignorant to assume that the only IQ studies done were on slave-descended, or, as you would call them, "systemically oppressed" African Americans. IQ studies have been conducted world-wide, and regardless of where or when they've been performed, Ashkenazi Jews consistently score the highest, East Asians second highest, Caucasians next, then Hispanics and Latinos, then Blacks.

You seem like someone with an axe to grind.
The dollar has lost roughly 97% of its value (per the Fed's own assessment) since the Federal Reserve was created. And that's a good outcome, we could talk about the ruble, or the real, or the bolivar.

Gold has not lost any value in the last century by comparison.

Gold has plenty of issues, confidence as a store of value is not one of them. By comparison, the global economy is filled constantly with stories, from one country or another, of fiat being demolished through constant inflation / aggressive devaluation.

Countries can drown their citizens via all sorts of schemes involving debt (ala Japan and the Yen), that then become currency devaluation schemes (QE) to debase that debt and chop down the standard of living of its citizens as a stealth move to pay for that debt. Such a thing inherently can't happen with gold.

The Euro zone for example is in the middle of seeing its citizens standards of living chopped down via QE, to debase the vast debt that has been choking off the growth potential of much of Europe since 2007 (the European economy has seen zero net GDP growth since roughly 2007). How many Euro zone citizens understand what the ECB is doing to them exactly? Do they realize that what they're about to suffer, is what Americans went through from 2002 to 2014 as the Fed debased the dollar to try to avoid multiple recessions, leading to a substantial decline in the US standard of living?

If the ECB drops the value of the Euro by 1/3 via QE, that substantially reduces in real terms the standard of living of anyone living on that currency. Gold shields against that abuse.
The idea is not to have upstream rebases so you can't pull them by accident.

I downvoted you for aggressive tone. I fucking loathe MRAs.
But there is some process by which you can prove the money is yours and you are entitled for it to be returned? For example, petitioning to be involved in the case, can it be denied? Is it just a procedural nightmare? Then what? I'd just be interested in the deeper story about actually trying to get the money back. If you show the paper trail of exactly where the dollars came from, are the judges still ruling against it and keeping the money? That's sounds like an entirely seprate layer of corruption which is going unreported.

I've seen it written many times that it often costs more to get the asset back than they're worth. That cost to the lawyer is also cost to the state and judicial system, and typically the justices don't take kindly to anyone wasting their time. I'm not reading about the massive backlog of forfeiture cases, mostly it seems like people don't even try.

On the one hand I hear that JDs are dropping like flies because there's no work, and on the other hand I hear there's tens of billions of dollars in money sitting in a big pot waiting for lawyers to try to get some of that back on contingency?

I found one blog after a bit of searching which has an interesting summary (criminal and civil forfeiture considered) I'm guessing that most people targeted, as usual, simply don't know their rights, and don't bother fighting for them, even when there's thousands of dollars on the line. [1]

The narrative that you can't get the money back I think is damaging to the cause of clamping down on forfeiture abuse. In fact you can get the money back [2], and particularly in cases like TFA, when the prosecutors office starts having to allocate a larger part of their workweek defending this bile they will start pushing back on it as well.

Heh. "People are idiots" ... "C++ doesn't restrict programmers".

Seriously though, the article was just negative with not a whole lot of real points. It's also amusing to see C++'s more and more convoluted codegen (see the VS2015+ObjV video) to make up for fundamental mistakes users keep making no matter what.

I can see how this might be discouraging, but I'd take it as a good thing if a poor rant is all they got.
The blame is also with the customers that insist on buying Samsung (to then complain about their phones being crap) instead of giving other manufacturers a try.

The UI of HTC phones has consistently been very good (I prefer it to stock Android by a mile) and the Sony one is quite decent. It's mainly Samsung TouchWiz that sucks, and it's a pity because that's all the Android most people see.
Stories like this show the 2nd Amendment defense of "it protects against tyrranical government" for the farce it is. Civil forfeiture isn't rare, and stories have been bubbling up for quite some time. Forget taxes, which actually go to providing you services, pretty much everyone can agree that 'civil forfeiture' is government agents stealing from the public, with no service offered in return. Where is the protection that 2nd Amendment is supposed to give from government?
> or why withdraw it in cash at all?

There are lawyers in this thread that claim cases where civil forfeiture is done to prevent the individual getting a lawyer.

Not to detract from your overall point, but there's actually a lot of Ruby <-> Python interop stuff out there. At one point I was playing around with importing C++ modules exported via boost::python to consume from Ruby (admittedly only for a toy project.) I'm not sure if I was using RubyPython[1] - searching google turns up multiple options. And I'm not sure how well any of them hold up in production.

And then on the CLR there's both IronPython and IronRuby, which might play well together.

Remember, you have stated that women are not weaker and even asked for a proof. When I provided a proof for physical strength, you say something incoherent.

Ok - So let's see if women are equally strong mentally at least. How many great thinkers, world leaders, mathematicians or philosophers are out there who are women? You might say - oh they were suppressed through ages, which again proves that point that they are weaker. No point in not taking things at their face value. What's wrong for someone to accept they are weaker if they really are?

Without wanting to turn this into a race thing, there are sociological circumstances which sort of give us a glimpse (in subsets of the population) of what that could look like - and it's not pretty... See e.g. http://www.economist.com/node/21532296, which is one of the lesser emotionally charged discussions of it, but I'm sure you can find the right Google terms to find dozens of other articles about it yourself.
