"The Jewish people have been persecuted for thousands of years. There is a natural affinity, therefore, for persecuted groups. This has led to the funding of organizations that essentially promote any persecuted group or any group with the perception of persecution. This includes radical Islamic groups." He continued, "Everyone here has seen the massive demonstrations for Hamas in every major city in the West. That should be jarring. Well, a number of those organizations receive funding from prominent people in Jewish community."

Why 21st-century science is in trouble
As a grade school student during the 1960’s, I was a direct beneficiary of this largess. A rigorous course of science and math education was a very high priority during my school years. My fifth-grade science project was to type everyone’s blood in my class. My oldest son’s fifth-grade science project, four decades later, was the equivalent of number-painting a comic book.

Clang now makes binaries an original Pi B+ can't run
So yeah, this compiler is effectively cross-compiling for armv7 (or something) by default. That's not very useful. You can work around this by grabbing the compiler by the lapels and saying "build for armv6, punk", and it will give you a working binary

A response to 'A decade of developing a programming language'
The big downside I see with self-hosting is that it incentivises you to design a language optimised for writing compilers. Most code isn't compilers, so this incentive is probably not well-aligned with your goals.
- I have seen this argument from the late 1970s. I suspect that It will still be happening 100 years from now. People vary widely, the tools we use will vary just as far.

Why Americans' 'YOLO' spending spree baffles economists
On Black Friday, sales at brick-and-mortar stores were up 1.1% from last year; online alone, US shoppers spent a record $9.8bn (£7.72bn) online alone. Consumers spent another $12.4bn (£9.77bn) on Cyber Monday – an eye-popping 9.6% increase over last year. This holiday splurge follows a pattern of US consumer spending, which has buoyed the American economy in the past year, making up nearly 70% of the real GDP's 4.9% Q3 growth.

If we could turn back time, we would, but unfortunately, we’ve now got to live in the ruins of what we’ve done to the world.
