You can measure the amount of ability to choose and answer your own questions though. Also, this all very idealistic nonsense- until 300 years ago, we lived basically in tribal community, and people yearn for that, no matter how futuristic they dress up.

Coding for a GPU is basically embedded programming - and the jit step is needed to avoid platform adaption costs.

Alot also loose the land they had, to the banks over time and become glorified landscape facility managers for the bank or for example a energy company.

The guy in that "My-little-farm"-book you've read, might never have smiled so happy, and it might never have been his "little-farm". I know a lot of people who wont accept this though. You got to be rich, living the good life out there- else, where to daydream-escape towards from a day in the city.

Assuming TTIP fails, how will the next contract to attack democracy be called? QTIP? UTIP? COUP? GRACE?

At least put some effort into naming. To have your rights grind away so slowly and being coerced like a mule to even thread that mill that maims you.. Im for a law that forbids to discuss content-similar contracts that have been downvoted for at least 8 years.

the biggest virtue of a c-programmer is temporary forgetfulness.

forget for the moment, that all of the old-guard-tech foundations is basically a castle made of glued together jello filled rubber ducky's. forget all the tricks needed to jump through that final hoop in assembly. forget even those hopeful endeavors of the languagewiser that stood up, and then came back because performance is a bitch and there use cases to edgy. forget all those library's that overpRomised, undereallocated and disspointered. forget all the futile attempts to steer this boat, carried on the hands of the likes of you, towards some sail-able waters. blissful unawareness settles in, while every "good c-programmer" near you starts to spit fire as soon as management declares a new megalomaniac project in C worthy the effort and thus starting. forget that strange feeling of elated Shame of being the best to repair the most broken car in town.

Then, and only then, you will be a "good" C-Programmer, one that knows all the tricks of trade, while not getting wiser.

So you suggest cache misses corrected by a instruction-workload bias (which should be again biased by how "hot" the instructions remain)?

EvilOfCacheMiss = TimeOfMemoryFetchCycles - CyclesSpendDoingInstructions /TimeOfMemoryFetchCycles

The real trouble is the inability of chips to identify what haskell could completely avoid, doing the same algorithm for the same input repeatedly. Hashing over input skip and save output, that would be a optimization. Also Tools that give Programmers a DataOrientated-VisualFeedback of the OO-Cluttercosts they impart on there work.

A flag that guarantees side effect freedom to a set of operations and suboperations, for the processor that would be great.

There is only so much work to go around, before cache misses turn into waiting games, even with branch prediction and micro-code piping.

What is your suggested alternative metric?

Why not scrap the USAF instead? It all breaks down into mission support and drones in the long run? So why not scrap the organization that warps the strategic decisions ? Give everything ground mission related to the army, break everything that is strategic, as in supply, and the useless ICBMs of the sky to the new drone Department.

What if the mass is water and you transport it back up with the capillary effect? Over a stairway?

The economy of disrupting ruptured by it shear forces - aka by itself? AIs crawling over the knowledge base? Good thing they cant publish papers with meaningful recombined results yet. Or can they. The irony is that the church of singularity is not relevant to the process - its like declaring evolution some godlike principle or cataclysmic event- while it just is a glider gun going forth, not knowing, not wanting to know. Still interesting times. I guess in the end, the science journals just where roadblocks in Alphabets way. So they have to go- so they will die, the usual way- with there resource supply systems stripped from them by a not "attackable" third party, condemned by those who benefit, as a barbaric, lawless act.

If they would have foresight, they would release all the papers they have into the public domain, and have there true opponents wrestle with the GPL and thus the allmende that produced the wealth. Instead they are having a nap at the ste ering wheel moment. In the end it will help mankind. So can we drop the charade and get on with it?

Virus claims german nuclear power plant run down by underfunded operators. "Cant spread, if you are all on old breaking down hardware on outdated systems that nobody bothers to update." says virus.

Nobody? Could you train a neural network to do that? Or should i try classic text parsing, looking for question answer queues? I'm quite willing to put in some work, if its a one time effort.
