I've always been impressed by the ability of microprocessors to do things like out-of-order and speculative execution, branch prediction, register renaming and floating point math. I'm guessing that modern microprocessors like Intel Xeon, Phi or IBM Z-series are designed using some variant of HDL which could be considered a programming language, so that program might be considered sophisticated. The fact that it generates a piece of hardware is irrelevant -- that's the output. The sophistication measurement is for the HDL.
Testosterone infused Pampers. We got 3 year olds here that can bench 100 lbs. That kid over there, Jimmy, can squat 250. He's not even four. He's crankin 12 seconds for a hundred meters. That kid is gonna rip assholes in the olympics by the time he's 10.
Car keys are in refrigerator vegetable bin.
The 3 pieces of celery with almond butter that, along with a cup of coffee, was supposed to be a snack, are in the closet with the paper towels.
The paper towel that was supposed to be for wiping off the countertops is on top of the toilet where I had to pee all of a sudden.
The cup of coffee that was warmed up in the microwave is in the cabinet where the extra packets of stevia are kept.
The stevia and soy milk are in the desk where my pad's USB charger is.
My pad with the article I was about to read on "Mindfulness" is in my jacket pocket where I keep the car keys.
I like getting one of those whole rotisserie chickens at the grocery store, they cost pennies more than a raw whole chicken....

We do that too. And I have to keep asking myself "how the heck do they do that?". Are the raw chickens overpriced? Are the rotisserie birds loss-leaders or just second-rate? When Amazon took over Whole Foods/Paycheck the prices on organic rotisserie chix dropped pretty significantly.

I think it turns into a time vs. money trade-off for some people. Yes, cooking themselves can yield a healthy meal, if they know how to cook (and some people actually don't know how), and have the time to shop for the ingredients, prepare and cook it. I've worked with some people who thought everything had to be deep-fried because that's all they remembered from childhood. They just didn't know any other way. Some people have multiple jobs, kids, long commutes or other time sinks. A bigmac, bag of chips and liter of coke can be breakfast on the job or on the way to it.
The government is not (supposed to be) here to be a nanny over the populace, and protect them from their own idiocy.
Which is exactly why the government should stop warning people about the dangers of drugs. Stop the nanny state. If people are too stupid to realize there is a good chance they will die from using drugs, that's their problem.
While I agree with the basics, in my experience, real life gets a little fuzzy around the edges. How about if what I do might affect someone else? Like if I take drugs while pregnant and my child ends up with birth defects? Maybe it was the fentanyl or the booze. Might have been the heroin. Prove it. Society still has an addicted mother on it's hands, and now it has a very sick baby too.
And I have a problem with the "too stupid to realize" idea. It's easy to throw stones. Most addicts know what they're doing isn't right, while they're doing it, but the power of addiction takes over the brain. Normal logic is background noise to the GOTTA FUCKING HAVE IT AND I'LL KILL YOU IF YOU GET IN MY WAY. People who haven't been addicted can never comprehend the weird mind fucks that go on and overpowering, irresistible body aching attraction.
The same goes for publicly-funded drug rehab. It's not the government's responsibility to force other people to pay for your idiocy.
At some point society draws a line that says "We'll do something about it if you are this sick or this bad, but not before". Everyone has their own idea of where the line goes; who gets covered; who doesn't; which criminals get locked up; which go free; which get a promotion and fat bonus check. In the end we get a line drawn by representatives whose real motivations we can only guess at. Then the rest of us get to complain about how unfair the line is while avoiding an honest examination of our own motivations.
Ever consider they're just funnin' y'all? The goal being to see spherical folks get all huffity-puffity, whip out their self-righteous indignation and use it like a bludgeon to beat sense into people they disagree with. And hopefully learn about their own inherent prejudices in the process.

... The research, published in PLOS Biology, was done in a lab, with samples containing scalp hair follicles from more than 40 male hair-transplant patients...
The stuff got research attention because the patient population includes, or is primarily compose of, guys. Like erectile dysfunction. For that we've got at least 14 drugs. Coincidentally, all the doctors listed on the paper appear to be men. If it had been for uterine cancer, endometriosis, IBS, fibromyalgia or any of a host of female-specific afflictions or where the majority of patients were women, the sponsor Giuliani Pharma (website down; Google cache) would have said "Nice work, but doesn't pay the bills. Find something to give me a giant hardon, and let me fuck all night. Then you get money. All those women-problems things are just in their poor little heads anyway."
Hi everyone. I'm Nemo and I'm a recovering social media addict.
Welcome to the online meeting of Slashdash, a 12 step social media addict recovery group. Here are the steps we took which are suggested as a program of recovery:
1. We admitted we were powerless over twitter -- that our facebooks had become unmanageable.
2. Came to to believe that an app greater than face filters could restore us to sanity.
3. Made a decision to turn our memes and our streaming over to the care of Ajit as we understood him.
4. Made a searching and fearless inventory of our devices.
5. Admitted to Ajit, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our apps.
6. Were entirely ready to have Ajit uninstall all these apps.
7. Made a pinterest of all the people we had dissed and became willing to make amends to them all.
8. Posted direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would diminish their karma points.
How do other architectures do speculative execution? I was thinking of IBM/Fujitsu level mainframes back when they used dedicated CPU hardware. How about SPARC, Power PC, Itanium or going back to i960?
No, you are still wrong. Your argument for being ageist is fundamentally: "don't advise people to do things they can't be guaranteed to complete".
There is a lot to be had by going on the journey, and if someone wants to start a medicine career at 55 then good on them. If they can't complete it because they die along the way, then so be it.
I assure you that the use of age as a qualifier for advice, will only ever result in prejudice and cannot be useful or constructive in any way.
Point taken. For many of us, the journey is the destination.

Hillary Hahn is not interested in politics.
But that has always worked for Iceland.
You can't directly compare Hawaii and Iceland. Iceland's volcanoes are more "felsic", which means they contain more silicates and are more viscous.
So if I wanted to try glassblowing techniques with lava, would the felsic be better? Never mind the obvious gas and heat exposure for now.
Tentacle porn? Bah! I give you giant predatory hammerhead earthworm porn. Of course, the "big one" they found is the runt of the family.

Ah, so they're experimenting on the homeless? That has to be some kind of ethics violation.
Homeless hermaphrodites, the ignominy of it all. Ye could not say it was a perfect boy, Nor perfect wench: it seemed both and none of both to beene.
VHDL guys: input would be appreciated ...

That is one buzzword-intensive abstract. On the other hand, I'd like to find a faux tonic quantum wok at Bed Bath and Beyond One Dimension.

Accidentally dropped it overboard. Had a 6 pack of diet Coke (plastic bottles) and a styrofoam pod of humpback whale sushi.

They do it wrong. At least, most of the superscalar POWER processors do it wrong, and SPARC does it wrong. However, Itanic is supposed to be not vulnerable, so it finally has something going for it.
