It’s so easy to think of “societal net gain” when you are on the winning side.

However, when you are on the receiving end of “societal net gain,” it is a much tougher pill to swallow.

In other words, personal sacrifice by choice is laudable; mandatory personal sacrifice is the opposite.

most Americans never lived in a totalitarian state. Totalitarian state starts when the freedom of speech is gone.

It would be a humongous loss to weaken or lose freedom of speech.

As someone who lived in USSR, I am am always on the side of the freedom of speech. Of course I never supported Trump, but I think the consequences of normalizing censorship will be far more damaging then whatever he has to say.

Once you’ve lived in a totalitarian state it is obvious. I hope people who didn’t live in such states would look at the world history and learn.
When is he ever going to face any consequences for his actions? Our society needs to make a statement about this man and his behavior. Impeaching Trump would also have the effect of barring him from holding office again which seems pretty important at this point. And we shouldn't fear the backlash from his followers. There needs to be a signal that these kinds of actions have severe consequences. There is going to be chaos either way because we've sat by and pretended that we can ignore this problem for too long.
It may be that there is in fact a line that you can cross where the general public becomes significantly less apathetic.

> Because code isn't a good that spoils

It's true that the code that was previously released will forever remain open source but if all the repos get yanked off Github, that does suggest that code is probably not going to be maintained by its new owners. At least not in public.

Code does spoil. Exploits and other critical bugs are found. The only way it remains safe to use is by somebody forking the original project and maintaining. You could do that but most people aren't set up to suddenly take on a major project just to fulfil a dependency.

No argument that this is still a million times better than closed source.

The best thing to do in the short-term is to find a replacement. Even if you don't need it, have something that will work, is maintained and be ready to implement at the drop of a hat.
A good warning sign for companies that only have their codebase at Github which seem more common to me nowdays. If you run your own server at least you can like physicaly restrict the access to local network only.

You make it sound as if writing a task was like writing a plugin. That might sound very close to the truth if you look at it through maven goggles, but if you take a step back to the structured shell scripting of makefiles it's hardly surprising they start with that.

For me, my main gripes with gradle are that freshness determination is quite difficult to analyze (and quite easy to break when you start doing nontrivial things, and if it breaks it is far too easy to just live with the additional build duration), that learning curves can progress way too far without real understanding of the central principle of configuration time vs task execution time (stronger syntactic separation might help, teaching "build your own task" early surely is an attempt to help as well) and, most of all, that all those "superconvenient" DSL syntax shortcuts are almost but not quite universal. "You can use DSL simplification xy everywhere, except where you can't" and there are far too many different xy. Maybe I should give the .kt syntax another chance, last time I tried I was in a phase of the learning curve where having a different syntax than in all the Google results was definitely a showstopper (trivial things are surely well-documented for kt, but when you reach xkcd 979 corner cases you'd better be firm enough in the groovy syntax to do the language transfer in your head without any uncertainties)

A pattern of assertion of parental control results in children denying being controlled in such a way that avoids punishment by interposing an excuse that mitigates the punishment by ranking the current control below a former command.
Do your homework - goes to room, ostensibly starts doing it
Come here - come here, or supper = doing my homework(a prior command) stops the kid from doing the subsequent command.
You and parent(s) have evolved this pattern. Parents often leave it at home and are OK at work. Kids enter working life and keep it up = bad boss, bad employee, bad co-worker.

Here's an interesting article from 2012 on how the PRC government wants people to understand China's economic politics:

http://en.people.cn/100668/102793/7980397.html

> In June 1992, Comrade Jiang Zemin explicitly put forward the concept of "socialist market economic system" for the first time on the basis of Comrade Deng Xiaoping’s southern talk.

Socialist market economy. If the government says it, that means it isn't an oxymoron.

Money quote:

> As Comrade Deng Xiaoping pointed out, "The essence of socialism is to liberate and develop productivity, to eliminate exploitation and polarization, and ultimately achieve common prosperity." The ultimate goal of the reform of socialist market economic system also points to "common prosperity". Therefore China should continue to shape its path for structural reform by this goal. Two aspects of China's economic reform are thus highlighted. The first is to further enhance the efficiency of the market by introducing market mechanisms, and the second is to provide better public service by reforming the means of planned economy, improving the capacity of macro-control and facilitating transformation of government functions since the capacity of public service provision is the primary ability in building a society of "common prosperity".

Market mechanisms in a planned economy. Macro-control (implying micro-invisible hand, I suppose). Common prosperity.

Eh, I snark, but it's an interesting experiment. I just wish it weren't being run in a context where there's no ethics review board.

What are the balancing loops in Monopoly? Jail and Go?
You're correct. It is taught by a huge number of people. But it's not optimal for certain types of technical challenges. And there are some that it will never be sufficient for.

But the biggest issue is that it is fantastically inefficient. You can learn the same passage with greater reliability in about 1/20th of the time using the reverse technique. The slow++ method isn't guaranteed to get you where you need to be. And if it does, it will take far longer.
Right, but what else can they reasonably 'invest' in? Do they have other options? I suppose they can 'sit' on their money. They need to park their money somewhere. People who make money typically didn't make it by idling whatever they started with.
I never understood this “suicidal” critique of jQuery. I've never got so tangled up in my own code to feel the urge to switch to a different model.

I've seen Backbone.js, Angular, React, etc, all come and go and none ever answered the “why would I want that” question to me. I remember using Prototype.js and MooTools.js and when I saw jQuery's home page I knew instantly the “why” and the answer was an instant and rejoicing “yes”.
There is simply no way I would ever subject myself or any of my kids to being patted down in this way, or going through a porn-scan. I think it's more than fair to state clearly, as he did, that if the operative sexually assaults him, he will take action. Even if it was to go fly out to Google to be acquired, I'd simply say no.

> I have zero problem with strict security checks at the airport,
> so I'm completely polite to the TSA

Because airports and airplanes are dangerous things, but outside of the airport we live in a world free of bad things and bad people (and the possibility of being killed).
I'm not in favor of the back-scatter machines but it is my understanding that once you enter the security area you are consenting to any kind of search the TSA deem necessary (even cavity if they had reason to feel the need to do one). While you can opt-out of the back-scatter you can't opt-out of any search, which he has done.

The law maybe an ass but he's probably on shaky ground, esp as you can't film or record the security checkpoints either.

>>>>> Fewer children are cycling and walking to school. More children are being dropped off at school by car.

I'm actually astounded by this. I grew up in a fairly typical suburban neighborhood, and everybody walked to school. A few weeks before I started kindergarten, my mom walked me to school, to make sure I knew the way. The kids who got driven to school, were teased for it.

Today, every kid in that neighborhood gets driven. There's a long line of cars in front of the school, and the amount of traffic is cited as a reason why it's no longer safe to walk.

both, although the second type you mention just happens on the job, there isn't really a "get better at everything" class, that's just called work experience.

training classes for specific software is either free (depending on the type of business relationship between the two companies) or $500-$5k with a big cluster around $1500. anything outside of that range is really rare. hotel/flight/car is usually about $1k+ combined in the US. classe usually last a day or two.
>The problem with writing is that you usually do it by serializing your thoughts in one go.

Depends on the person and the circumstances. I admit that I tend to write linearly as a first pass and the writing is often an act of discovery--although I generally have some idea of my (intended) destination when I begin. That said, I'll often craft sections semi-independently and "glue" them together after the fact. I think I see more structural and process similarity than you do.
Does anyone have a clue what "ESD" stands for in this context? The article is too buzzword-heavy to be very meaningful, even to a practitioner (this is surprisingly common in data analysis, where there seems to be a culture of naming things in the most opaque way possible.)

Ars Technica's most notable Apple reporter, John Siracusa, still holds a grudge against Apple for nearly every way in which Mac OS X went with a NeXT-style user interface over a Classic Mac OS UI paradigm.

They do a good job of producing informative articles, but you have to watch out for anything subjective, because a lot of it is quite unreasonable, and it's quite common for their conclusions about an Apple product to be invalid and useless for anyone living in the real world. The apparent bias in any given article can be all over the map, but on average, they seem to slightly prefer being unfair to Apple.

That's simply not true. Most companies post job listings on their own websites. Even intelligence agencies post job listings publicly these days.

There are some companies that prefer to remain secret, but they're really in a minority (this is the case for some hedgefunds, stealth startups, etc.).
Everything is technical, or at least amenable to technical explanation. Geeks of past eras similarly burst bubbles like "why is the sky so blue", "why are sunsets all pink and colorful like that", and "what the fuck is up with magnets?". On the other hand, geeks were able to outright invent even more magic, like this weird aluminum box with buttons on it that makes other people's opinions appear on a glass surface!
There is a plane called a Beech Bonanza that is nicknamed "The doctor killer."

It gets this name because it's a single engine plane, which attracts wealthy hobbyist pilots (like doctors) but it's fast. Much much faster than what these hobbyist pilots are used to. This causes "the plane to get in front of them", and for them to crash.

It's been a while but I remember going out of the way to strip all the JS surrounding both Like and Share buttons for Facebook. It was trivial to implement at the time. I did it because I didn't like being tracked and didn't want to inflict that on the users either. However, I had to fight for it. PM wanted the share count & page like count to show up. That can't be done without FB JS code.

There's also the advertising trackers that track every aspect of your website's users. These are usually added as is and for a variety of reasons - measure conversion, tag a user as converted to not show them ads anymore, retargeting...etc. Good luck convincing your marketing team to not add any of these trackers.
I am pretty sure that I tried Feedly in the post-"Oh no, Google Reader is going away!" panic everyone else using the service was in at the time, and like you I could not replicate the feel. The Old Reader was the closest alternative I found among the several I tried, but soon afterwards Inoreader appeared with a very, very, very close-to-Google Reader feel, and I've been extremely happy on it ever since. (If only Inoreader would correctly open the comment link and not the original article in the HN RSS feed.)

> Sometimes you want to send out a finalized document and want to make 99% of the users unable to edit them. That's what PDFs are for. Imagine lawyers needing to send out a finalized contract.

That is not what PDFs are for. PDF is, well, a Portable Document Format. It is not convenient to modify a PDF, but PDF is not securely resistant to modification (discounting its cryptographic features [0]). Its resistance to modification is a side-effect of its design, not a primary goal.

An attacker will be able to modify your PDF. This gets easier every year, as we'd expect. That doesn't matter, though, as an attacker can always recreate the document, with whichever changes they wish. (Again, neither of these attacks will work if you use cryptographic signing.)

If you want secure assurance of authenticity, you use cryptographic signing. No excuses. If you're a lawyer, I'd hope you aren't placing any stock at all in the inconvenience of modifying a PDF.

For more flexible memory alloc in C++, can't one use placement new? That makes destruction more complicated, but maybe that's further support for the thought that complexity in C++ gives one more possibilities for precise control of the computing environment. How often one needs or wants to actually exercise that level control is another question.

At any rate, Go certainly does offer some nice tradeoffs vs C++.
