Yes, I'm talking about FIRRTL, which is used in the latest version of Chisel (Chisel 3). There aren't official releases of this version yet, but you can get snapshots (if you don't mind some API breakage now and then). It wor

During the primary season, I saw a Bernie Sanders sign in a window (I think it was their local campaign HQ) and a homeless man sleeping in front of it.

For an example of this in action, you need look no further than a few states South along the Mississippi. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2017-03-23/inside-al...

It's not so much culture as regulatory environment. Chinese labor laws are more lax, or at least more laxly enforced. Things are done pretty differently in the American Midwest, with its history of labor organizing.

No company would be stupid enough to explicitly tell its employees that they must work overtime or be fired. Instead, they create an environment in which you feel social pressure to put in more hours. People choose to work long hours becaus

So then why do they do it? Why would you pay 1.25x per hour worked when you could hire more employees and have everyone work normal hours. It's one thing to have crunch time. It's another for excessive overtime to be the normal wa

Your spouse hates you because you work all the time. You work all the time to avoid your spouse.

All of the government's attempts to address this excessive overwork just seems lackluster. > Earlier this year the government introduced 'Premium Fridays', encouraging firms to let their employees out early, at 3pm, on the

Chinese students studying at American universities may not necessarily be looking to set down roots in the US. Most of them return to China after getting their degrees. As for the question of assimilation, it takes a generation for cultural

The US has a lot of international cuisines. And as a country of immigrants, there's not much of a "native" culinary tradition. But there are distinct variations in local cuisines. For instance, New England: clam chowder, lobs

Or maybe Americans save less and borrow more because necessary things like education, housing (in certain cities), and healthcare are so damn expensive.

Yeah, SF is crap and overpriced, but the surrounding cities have pretty good food. Like every other metropolitan area, you have to get out of the city center to the suburbs where Chinese immigrants actually live.

Seriously, though. California, and the Bay Area specifically, is one of the best places in the US to find authentic Chinese food. OP's spouse is just a snob. Sure, a lot of restaurants feel the need to put some "standard" dis

That "burger" actually looks pretty good though. I think that was just a case of lost in translation. Chinese people know what Western hamburgers look like. There are McDonalds all over China.

It doesn't take such arcane rituals to find more "authentic" Chinese food in major US cities. Many Chinese restaurants serve both the Americanized dishes and traditional Chinese dishes. You just have to know what to order.

Huh, yeah you're right, there's a mistake in Coltrane's original version.

Oh man, I'm so jealous that you got the chance to talk with Yusef Lateef. That must have been awesome to pick his brain about music. He's one of my favorite musicians (alongside Coltrane himself of course). Eastern Sounds is still

Not quite. It's actually a hexatonic scale, AKA the whole tone scale. Each note is a whole step up from the last one. The outer circle is a C whole tone scale and the inner circle is a B whole tone scale (i.e. they're offset by a

The difference is that the authorities can crack open a safe without the suspect cooperating. But it's virtually impossible to decrypt something without the receiving the key.

The US debt is more than 100% of GDP ... It's not necessarily a problem so long as the debt-financed spending accelerates growth. GDP is the amount the economy generates per year. Debt is relatively fixed (unless you borrow more or hav

Again, it's a review of a book written by an Indian author. Perhaps the book has further evidence that these charges aren't just political posturing.
