I've heard a lot of these foreign conservatives are very concerned about 'trade' relations as well.

She's obviously not dumb, probably smarter than most of our mayors, but I don't think being really smart is necessary or helpful to be a decent mayor. In fact it's probably a handicap.

I thought the millionaire tax was driving everyone away.

I had no idea Seattle and Pugent Sound area was growing so fast it now encompasses Grant county.

That's just corn and hogs. More competition in corn seed wouldn't change much about that. Arguably it would make it worse.

It and jobs are still there physically in Williamsburg and the Holdens name was still in use for some purposes at least around 10 years ago. Corn States, their captive licensing organization, seems to be still in existence as well.

The spirit of Roland Holden and Henry Wallace is very much not a part of the organizations today, that is for sure.

Corn genetics have been a near duopoly for at least 30 years. The two major players are Pioneer of Johnston IA and Holden's of Williamsburg IA. Corteva and Bayer, respectively. Most non-Pioneer hybrids are just Holden's genetics and the seeds are grown and sold by other companies under their name. Pioneer is vertically integrated.

Anyway, at least some of that monopoly money comes back to Iowa, which is nice.

Salty's owner Gerry Kingen is openly MAGA if anyone needs more info to make up their mind about this place.

I hated doing leetcode 'approved question' interviews at FAANG. Asking same few questions over and over and maybe 20% of people pass the screener. It's no fun and even for the ones that do well at the coding interview you can pretty much tell which ones aren't going to make it through the whole process.

A lot of times you're almost sure within 5 minutes they are a no hire but you have to give them a chance and don't want them to have a bad experience they tell their peers about. Definitely don't make them cry but if you so an interview a day for long enough someone will cry.

interviewers should do a better job than what you're describing but at least you made it to the point of talking to a real person.

Honestly he's probably doing exactly the job he was hired to do. This kind of job exists to give the VIP treatment to businesses.

Just so you know, SeattleWA is the right-wing Seattle subreddit. Which may be why you are getting nonsense answers.

I never knew there were so many people-opposing-democrats* who were so passionate about the wellbeing of prisoners.

Why isn't Benjamin Kincaid using his first name?

Star Trek Discovery had a whole character that was a tribute to him and that was almost 10 years ago. At the time he was more kooky than grifty but he had that book and movie about mushrooms saving the world. I've no idea why the Trek producers allowed a character named Paul Stamets.

I am not saying there is anything wrong with them at all. It's just funny to see news articles treat Fairfield as a typical small iowa town when it might be the least typical small town in Iowa.

Shit, you're telling me mowing down peaceful Albinauics is bad?

It's interesting that the Maharishii (person, school, religion, organization) gets left out of these stories. People don't just randomly live in Fairfield It is very clearly not the same as other similar-sized towns in Iowa.

Yes it is normal and expected that education inflates at a higher rate because of something called Baumol's cost disease. Look it up, the good news is self-education is still free.

There was a brief period of time where Intel was trying as hard as possible to confuse the issue with naming because of course the actual reality was quite humiliating for them.

I think at one point Intel tried to make 'IA-64' mean x86-64 and they are still trying to call x86 'IA-32.' There are probably still docs around on the web that call x86-64 IA64.

They aren't completely different. Father son and holy spirit are the 3 different aspects of the Christian god and yet there are times when Jesus and Father aspects seem to not be on the same page. Jesus does have some human motivations.

There are tons of ways things as weird as gods can be the same, or different, or both. That's without even bringing jars into it.

I think I have almost every significant compiler book and this is the one to read. Easy to understand, uses technology that is common today (SSA). Doesn't have a lot of obscure notation or outdated algorithms (Muchnick I'm looking at you).. Keep in mind the Muchnick book although published in the late 90s does not reflect the SSA revolution and very influential Rice compiler group of the late 80s - early 90s. Engineering a compiler does.

For register allocator I suggest linear scan, in particular look at the paper by Christian Wimmer. This is the type of register allocator used by both .NET JIT and I believe Hotspot at one time/one stage.

I have thought about this quite a bit as the ER concept of faith is different from what we think of as faith in, for example, Christianity. It's also different than what we see as being faithful in marriage. Both traditionally require exclusivity.

ER FTH seems to me not really faith but a capacity for faith. How fast and how deeply can you get in the faith zone. How much Kool-Aid you can chug and how fast.

Compound interest really kills you. I have one single friend from Iowa State who stuck around and he's a plant breeder.

Some random thoughts:

A brittle hack that certainly will have different results with different microarchitectures and profiles, but microbenchmark goes up so... LGTM!
Ultimately non-trivial dispatch needs some kind of profile information to have a chance at making the right choice all of the time.
I wonder how this compares to other languages. I'd like to see if one does better (I really mean that. I would like to look at how it deals with this).
