buy another Android phone and get a completely different UI from the base package.

Which is very much by design. HTC as no interest in you buying a completely different Android phone. They want you to replace your old HTC phone with a new HTC phone. If the UI on the new Samsung phone is identical to that of your old HTC phone, then you might decide to get the Samsung phone and HTC loses.
It probably has more to do with these words (or syntaxes) meaning the same thing in the various languages Matz got inspiration from (Perl and FP languages use `map`, Smalltalk uses `collect`).

One of the personality traits Ruby got from Perl was being a grab-bag of a bunch of stuff.
You essentially have two questions there. The answers are:

I agree almost always with Theo's view on things but what he says often transmits through a dick filter.

Have to disagree with "You haven't committed any crime" because these to my understanding occur during traffic violation. Not saying I agree with the practice but am saying cops are not pulling over perfectly legal drivers and saying "Sir/Ma'am please handover your cell phone".
Barely related, but I have always been surprised by the rejection of "group selection" -- I actually think our discomfort with it is sort of ideological, and motivated by the fact that we have an individualistically structured society (capitalism) that would be deeply challenged by group selection. Sort of out there, but perhaps worth thinking about.

(EDIT: I am speaking of the hyper-individualistic capitalism popular in America and (I think) Britain, not the lets-have-unions-and-govt-cooperate capitalism of Germany or Japan. Also, I still remember driving for 100 miles with a biologist who told me that group selection violated the basic premises of evolutionary theory, which is basically "selfish gene" only.)
Same goes for <%= which has been used by people for years to output HTML content.

Changing echo; to encode entities when used from within a web server SAPI (so not on the command line) would not cause more or less hassle per app than changing <%= to encode entities by default.

Of course the overall PHP code base is much bigger than the rails code base, so there would be more people affected. But for the individual application developer, there's no difference in amount of work whether <%= suddenly starts escaping or echo; does.

vagrant and ansible can help.
thanks for your answer so basically it relies on plain TCP and its reliability features. If you need something more sophisticated you gotta do it yourself within the application code (or using libs).
Unionize.

Seriously, just do it. Do your passion and earn a decent living.
iOS only again. Android users can’t catch a break.
The nodes are what actually enforce the rules. If you send out a transaction with 25M coins in, nodes won't broadcast that transaction and it doesn't make it to the blockchain.
> In most cases, we want to discern between days first, them months, then years.

That really, really depends on particulars on your life. While I strongly dislike the US format of putting the month first, the irony is, the month is the most important datum for most of the dates I read with. Year is usually obvious given particular context (it's typically either the current one, the next one, or sometimes the previous one). Days don't matter for anything that isn't in the same month. I'd go as far as saying that months are typically the most important for most people in XXI century, then days, then years.

But that's no problem for punctuated date formats in general. People don't read things linearly at letter level, they deconstruct tokens in a random-access way. Separators like - or / help clearly identify which part is which (compare how easy it is to read 03/01/2021 with 03012021), and there's no extra cost associated with reading off the part in the middle.

The benefits of YYYY-MM-DD notation on top of the above are:

- With all terms being fully expanded, dates line up vertically as well, which helps when dealing with stacks of documents or tabular data.

- Being ordered by magnitude like normal numbers provides a Schelling point for interpretation[0]. That is, when a random person who wasn't exposed to much computing or internationalization before sees 2021-01-03, they will automatically assume that 01 must be the month, because writing YYYY-DD-MM would be dumb and inconsistent with how numbers are written in general.

Yes, both of these apply to DD/MM/YYYY, but, YYYY-MM-DD also gets you sane lexicographic sorting, which the UK/European format doesn't. It's super useful feature not just when dealing with computers, but also when perusing any kind of date index. ISO 8601 dates work much like words in a dictionary, you can binary-search through them.

Author here. It works fine on RHEL5 / CentOs5 for me. I can also confirm RHEL7. Please file an issue. What will help in particular is if you can give me the faulting RIP address. That should be in the crash report or in your dmesg log.
Really nice. I reckon this could be a nice learning tool too.
"A new approach, which the classes have already begun to adopt, is bringing more students in but dividing them into groups of six to eight. Each of those groups will work with their own volunteer trainer, and they’ll move at their own pace."

If the goal is to scale small group in-person instruction, why not use Open Systems Instruction? This seems like the perfect use case. The book Public Schools Should Learn To Ski describes the benefits really well, but I'm sure there are other books on this.
The London train bombings were nothing in comparison to the years of IRA terrorism that London suffered.

The argument that "these are strange times and require a new class of countermeasures" is exactly the lie they want to sell you.
He claims that Excess dietary fat is directly stored as fat, which is opposite of what Taubes claim, that when you eat things as bacon, the fat you eat isn't stored as fat in your body.

I read all related articles about fat and didn't find where he defends this claim (only general explanations about different types of fat and its relation to heart diseases).

Also I am no expert at this topic at all, and I wouldn't understand all the scientific study both sides claim to have. But make sense to me that the fat I eat isn't stored as the fat in my belly, as cow milk doesn't become milk for mothers, and as osteosporis (the lack of calcium on your food) isn't easily fixed by eating more calcium on your food.
I agree that it's probably a minor issue. But consider that 2) could be hacked by someone that's not 3).
I've come to realize that no moral issues can be boiled down into black and white. All moral debates have strong examples on either side.

The goal of government, however, is not to take a stance on moral debates. It's to create laws that are amenable to both situations.

I believe with this professor is trying to say is that the constitution, or written law, should not include laws that are categorically protective of civil liberties that may not be culturally acceptable. We need to break down civil liberties in this particular arena into more granular cases and judge based on those cases as opposed to an overarching blank check for religion.
Absolutely.

Tangentially - I ordered ISDN service from Qwest about a year ago. The business ordering agent (ISDN is only tariffed for businesses in Washington) transferred me to a supervisor, who then told me to hang up and call the retention department, and gave me the number. Retentions was able to transfer me to the person who was responsible for ISDN ordering, who was very knowledgeable.

Lesson of the story: Retentions agents can transfer you anywhere.
I find it remarkable that people want to involve the government in regulating the internet when there isn't even a problem and yet can see the vast wasteland that is government regulation in other industries. If there's a problem, ok you might want to call for some regulation -- since there isn't one, why waste your time... keep the arguments ready so that if there is one then you can try to solve it.
Jeesh, the kid goes through so much trouble generating press and says this:

"It's kind of ridiculous," he said. "I take computer science. I have a vague idea of how this may or may not work. I think it would be just such an easy thing for an error message, at least, to pop up."

So much for taking advantage of the opportunity.

Common App is an awful piece of software and there are many places for improvement. There is definitely room for a startup in this space, and the article proves that common app isn't going to put up a fight.
nyc has a non-standard block numbering scheme.
Thanks for posting this - fortunately, neither of these issues is serious enough that I feel the need to upgrade tonight vs. tomorrow. The first one doesn't affect me at all (you need to have given an untrusted user limited admin access to be affected) and the second one will eat server resources but won't compromise anything permanently. Phew.
Reminds me of the "No Name" Brand in Canada (maybe local to certain provinces; Google Images: tiny.cc/nonamepics). It's interesting because the brand has purposely gone minimal. It's easily distinguishable treatment and lack of loud elements actually make them much more distinguishable in supermarkets.

Despite what some have said, I think in general these are done fairly well. Some are great, some are worse, but overall it's decent.
I'm wondering what the screw-up was.

My guess is that Amazon lost their copy of the keys (and thus can't verify the codes produced by the device).

Should I trust the new device when I receive it?

Yes. As much as you trust Amazon generally, of course.
I like how you broke it down in 5 simple steps.

1) Craigslist? Where can I find someone who's willing to work purely on commission for a software product he's never heard of before?

2) So basically make the sales guy rack up the dollar amount by promising the universe.

3) Hire guys and project manage.

4) Love to repeat but where to get the next lead or client?

5) Profit, what to charge the enterprise guys? Is $500,000 a good starting point? Is it even possible to pull, one sale, one year, $500,000, that's me having to sell $49/month to a 1000 customers by the end of the year. I think the one client paying $500,000 sounds like a much better deal.
Not yet. I am not even mad etc.
GHC added that as a feature, recently.
No it works on windows 8. Try it again or Google how to make it work. It is easy as I am running it on a machine right now.
No war stories here, just my two cents. It is unfortunate that the cost of defending against spurious suits can be substantial—even if the law is ultimately on your side. Basically, the movie studios are much better equipped to send out takedown notices than you are to respond to them. And as this article makes clear, movie studios may take action against many entities—even those that probably increase movie sales. After all, the twitter feed probably spurs interest in Top Gun (and the publicity around the takedown notice amplifies this effect even further). So tread carefully, and good luck!

Emacs for me was always a poor replacement for my Borland and SlickEdit developer experience.

Actually during my UNIX phase, I rather used XEmacs, as it provided much more friendly tooling than Emacs.

Nowadays Emacs really fails short from what Java and .NET environments offer out of the box, specially in graphical tooling. Including mixed language development with C++.

It is also interesting that James Gosling nowadays prefers IDEs as any UNIX editor, as stated in several interviews.
not just the namespace, but the content-space. a service like twitter thives on a feeling if immediacy and involvement, and if you were to constantly be coming across dead accounts (whether the owner is deceased or just otherwise left twitter) i think it would detract from the usefulness of twitter.

whether the accounts are moved to the internet archive or some twitter-hosted archive, the value in twitter is not in old tweets. i think most people would be better off if all of twitter had an automatic expiry.

"Hello, world" is trivial. But what is the "FizzBuzz" question for an analog computer? Calculate the velocity/acceleration of a failing object under gravity?
A lot of this happens already minus the robots. Conversely, protest organizers/professional activists are rather more technologically sophisticated and capable than might at first be apparent. As in many historic military conflicts, the shock value of a new technology can be decisive at first but has a short half-life.

I don't have data on Ghostery memory/CPU usage, but I would offer this warning: Ghostery is proprietary software, and is "calling home" on your usage when you enable Ghostrank.

Ghostrank is used to build profiles on who is blocking what, and when, so they can sell this data to advertisers and trackers. Which just seems hypocritical to me. To be fair, Ghostrank is disabled, and opt-in by default.

Instead, I think you may be better protected by running Privacy Badger by the EFF. It's Free Software and it isn't tracking you.

Your comment is almost worthwhile just for the irony in this.

Tabbed browsing basically hijacks window management away from the OS. Tabs are always implemented customly in-app (UI break) - and break the UX of window finding, switching, etc. (doubly annoying in a tiling WM, btw). That's all browsers.

Yeah, they're just squatting on that cyberspace and not letting other people through.

Why are there so many condescending comments about "saving the Chinese people". Ask yourselves, are you really qualified to judge the Chinese people? Have you been to China? Have you been to different parts of China? What are the main sources that you obtain news? Are you reading the "assumptions" over and over again until they are "assumed" as facts? I liked this place when it used to be just about technologies.

Kudos for differentiating between those 3! ;)

I personally don't believe that invention and commercialization as suggested by this equitation (maybe not intentionally) are equally important, beneficial, meaningful.

I'd say: Innovation is the commercialization of an invention; it's just the corporate propaganda and internal incentive structure for people within which projects these process in such a way into the world as to make it believe something has been invented by a corporation for the benefit of the "audience". Which is very far away from the truth, i think.
Project manager asks me:

"What did you do this week?"

I say:

a) "I spent the week chasing down an apparent bug on one of the Standard Libraries we use."

or:

b) "I implemented connectivity with the Hong Kong stock exchange, improved our MT performance to get a 20% improvement on submitting trades, and identified a bug we were having with currency conversions as possibly being in one of the libraries we use, wrote a work-around for it, wrote the fix and tests up on our developer wikki, and submitted a report to the library vendor."

Now, I would say that(b) is of far more value for the company I work for and is at least as "professional" as (a).
This is why I use https://keys.pub and/or Magic Wormhole.
I mean, "working 12 hour days, six days a week" - "naps after lunch" = "in the office 12 hours a day, six days a week, but only working 11 hours a day."

Not a trade that I'd make.
> Amazon and Google also get hacked. So does Adobe and Microsoft. So does the DoD and Whitehouse. So does JPMorgan and Wallstreet.

The difference between Sony and the other companies you listed is the effort they put into security/technology-defense.

Yes, anyone might be hacked. That doesn't mean you just throw your arms up and let it happen. Sony effectively threw their arms up.
Of course he would have. This is a fantastic example of how everything you say, can and will be used against you.

But I think criminals being interrogated aren’t really of sound mind.

I'm on shaky grounds trying to talk about macroeconomics, but I don't think loose monetary policy counts as a bubble, exactly.

It would be a bubble if everyone believed that loose monetary policy was going to last forever. The Fed is well aware of the trillions of dollars they've created and they have the ability to make it go away, once the economy is moving again to their satisfaction.

Planet Money did a segment on this last week.[1] The problem is, a lot of that money never made it out into the regular economy -- when the Fed creates money, it's really creating it for banks which are supposed to have incentives to loan it out. But mostly, according to that show, the banks aren't lending it out. At the very least, this shows they don't have the requisite irrational exuberance for it to be a bubble.

One thing for sure: it seems that banks have less incentive to make productive investments than the Fed thinks they do. A possible reason why: "manager capitalism"[2] yields higher incentives for short term speculation, bonuses, etc. Maybe a trickle of that money has made it into VC but I have no idea how to determine that.

So that's what HATEOAS is. I had been wondering why the Github APIs had these absurdly large responses with a shit-ton of urls.

> JSON isn't a hypertext, it just isn't a good format for REST-ful services.

The point of REST was to take ideas from the browser and apply them to other services.

But HATEOAS is proving that REST only really makes sense if you've got a browser on the other end.

> Doesn't anyone notice this? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

The first comment I saw on this article was, _every single person writing a REST api should have to memorize this table_.

If you were trying to sell people on a new library and said, "everyone here has to memorize this table," you'd get laughed at as a crazy person.

It's all relative. You could build something that weighed 100kg, so anything heavier is a waste of energy if we only look at ability to go from point A to point B.
