This is one of those things that is easy to worry about, but the sheer amount of possible 'consequences' from any misinformed point of view is impossible to actually estimate the likelihood of. We can collectively conjure up all sorts of bad things someone might do if they believe [xyz] but we should not give in to this kind of paranoia.
It looks like from ~24.4 onwards there's support for various notification event sources for auto-revert[-tail]-mode, as determined by the file-notify--library variable. I don't appear to have anything compiled into my prebuilt OSX emacs though, time to update the ol' source tree and see if I can remember how to build it.

Are you expecting to only support institutional investors or retail order flow as well? It seems like this supports pushing the notional to shares conversion all the way down to the exchange, which I can see a use for.

How does the expressive bidding interact with NBBO held orders?
"real world tools can be cost prohibitive"?!

It really depend on how poorly you choose which real world you want to live in .
Company policy cannot overrule laws, but it is not illegal to put it in a contract. Companies put in things they can't enforce because it has the same effect of discouraging certain behaviors.

A company's policy cannot prohibit employees from talking about the company. Obviously there is more nuance (e.g. leaking internal info) but in this case we're discussing public events.
I’ll be honest - I love straightforward no bs criticisms and strong personal opinions. It’s done in a way that’s sort of tongue in cheek humor.

We’re going to lose this aspect of our society as we demand more rigor in arguments and not let people speak their minds. Not everything needs sources and logic. Sometimes something just sucks and people should just say that’s the case. It’s their opinion after all.
Interesting government in the 20th century killed less people than boring deaths that were prevented by some "interesting" governments. Beyond that, the most major cause of death after poverty was war, specifically the attempted invasion of the USSR by Germany, which was really just a matter of realpolitik at the time (thus why the USSR proposed a defensive alliance with France and the UK before the Third Reich).

Just to take the Chinese example again - less people died due to Mao's atrocities in China than due to regular old poverty in India, despite them starting at the same spot.

We just have normalcy bias by the absolutely staggering amount of death that comes with poverty, whereas a comparatively smaller amount of death brought by a government that fixed the former is much more interesting.
> "Google copied approximately 11,500 lines of declaring code from the API, which amounts to virtually all the declaring code needed to call up hundreds of different tasks. Those 11,500 lines, however, are only 0.4 percent of the entire API at issue, which consists of 2.86 million total lines. In considering “the amount and substantiality of the portion used” in this case, the 11,500 lines of code should be viewed as one small part of the considerably greater whole. As part of an interface, the copied lines of code are inextricably bound to other lines of code that are accessed by programmers. Google copied these lines not because of their creativity or beauty but because they would allow programmers to bring their skills to a new smartphone computing environment."

> Sanity prevailed! This judgment could have had devastating consequences and turned software development into a copyright nightmare.

This judgment is the equivalent of someone taking a movie script, shooting a new movie out of it without changing a word, and the court declaring this "fair use" of the script.

Software development wouldn't have turned into a nightmare unless you decide to steal a platform. Which most people don't need to do in order to do their work.
> so let me rephrase my statement about capital gains. it doesn't make sense to treat LTCG as income unless we first make significant changes to the way we assess income tax in the first place.

I disagree. LTCG as income without smoothing makes exactly as much sense as taxing regular income without smoothing does.

Yes, there’s a strong case for smoothing. There’s, independently, a strong case for not structurally favoring capital income and not structurally disfavoring labor income. While it is desirable to address both of those (and doing so simultaneously would be a good idea since there is no conflict), there is no dependency between them.

(Likewise, indexing capital asset basis values for inflation is a third thing that there is a good case for, but neither of the other two things depends on it to be a good idea; I’d oppose furthering the favoring of capital by doing it without first taxing capital income as income, though.)

> obviously this would be a lot more complicated.

Smoothing doesn’t have to add significant complication. The essence can boil down to:

(1) a taxpayer may freely recognize any amount of as-yet-unrealized income for tax purposes in any tax year and pay appropriate income tax on it. Any amount of the unused balance may be freely applied to reduce taxable income in any future year to no less than $0 (with one exception, see below.) Unused balances are indexed for inflation.

(2) a taxpayer may defer to the following year recognition of any amount of income over the greater of the top of the lowest marginal rate bracket or prior year taxable income (after applying any deferrals or advance recognition), with thr caveat that no more than 90% of any previously-deferred income may be deferred again.

(3) In final taxes after death, all remaining advance/deferred amounts are applied, with negative taxable income resulting in a refund calculated by applying the minimum marginal rate to the balance.
It was, but SCOTUS declined to rule on it.
Can you be more specific? Hofstadter specifically includes Cantor and Gödel as a way of showing how certain types of problems can't be solved with symbolic logic.
From a statutory standpoint, there is no difference between the API and the code in general, which the dissenting opinion highlights. So if fair use is granted for theft of copylefted code in a non-copyleft manner, it doesn't matter heavily whether that was "declaring code" or "implementing code".

This ruling doesn't change that APIs are copyrightable code.
If you fail with your wallet there is no recourse and you're out of luck. If any of the "HUNDREDS or THOUSANDS" of merchant systems fail you are not held responsible and in the worst case get any missing funds back after a small waiting period. Usually the worst thing that happens is you'll have to update a couple recurring payments, but they'll sometimes even help you with that (Amex!).

"I can't speak for everyone out there, but I'm guessing that most of the people out there have no interest in this drama."

Well, I clicked here and only saw Jason's comment. I then wrote an email and refreshed afterward to see a flurry of comments so I think many people find it interesting.

If anything, I think it's a valuable lesson to be learned for new entrepreneurs on choosing who to do business with.
"No, I mean session management. Example of anemia: it offers no way to back sessions by persistent storage."

The session protocol is a bit awkward in that you need to implement all of it if you want to change only a small part, but it's there to be hooked into, which is what the frameworks built on top of Hunchentoot do. The support is there to have persistent session objects, you just need to find something that does that (I agree it would be great to have libraries independent of frameworks but built for specific DBs for this) or do it yourself (all that Hunchentoot requires for this to work is to implement two methods).

A lot of the time what you'd really want to do is subclass the session class to make it persistent through an ORM or prevalence, but the problem is that you can't just drop in arbitrary metaclasses into arbitrary subclasses in CLOS.

"Really? What about threads that are busy processing requests when you load the new code, which may have different assumptions?
It seems like a better approach would be to queue up incoming requests, wait for existing requests to be handled, reload the code, and then resume processing requests."

You're talking about atomic change management. Queueing up requests works on a per-request basis, but what happens when your code changes affect existing sessions (for example, people in the middle of a multi-step order confirmation form)? The easiest way to do this is have multiple servers and switch them over one by one. In the more general case you need to think in terms of protocols and protocol versioning (http://carcaddar.blogspot.com/2009/03/p-cos-blew-my-mind.htm...)

>That's the problem in a nutshell: OS X changes because there's new management that wants to put its stamp on things, regardless of whether it improves the productivity of the user or not.

I'm not an OS X user, but that's a solid observation, that at least partly accounts for the issues, based on my experience of other OS's and software. I've seen the same happen, from the inside, in large companies where I've worked, and also, from the outside, a lot, as a user of various software packages and OS's, that seems to be the case, many times. Of course there are other reasons too.

I was just talking to a non-tech [1] friend yesterday who was complaining about the OS problems he was having (Ubuntu, in his case), and who said, essentially, that things are too difficult - upgrades screwing things up, etc. etc. My reply to him: the state of the art in software (in general) is still below what it should be - or words to that effect.

[1] Of course, part of the reason for his problems is that he is not tech-savvy (though he actually is more so than the average layman), but that raises the question of why software in general cannot be more user-friendly and easier to use. Difficult question, I know, since the field is so complex, and compounded by the existence of so many different versions of hardware, operating systems, and applications, all (mis)interacting with each other. Reminds me of my erstwhile system engineer days: customer has a problem (in a specific app situation) with this model of that computer that we sell and support? check the OS version: is it Ver. x.y.z? ah, that's not compatible with BIOS (or motherboard) Ver. a.b.c - only when using that particular RDBMS / compiler / whatever; upgrade the BIOS (or motherboard or OS or problematic software) to Ver. p.q.r ...... :) (which point was sometimes learnt after system / hardware engineers had spent a lot of time trying to solve the problem on their own, before escalating it to head office)

It was good fun and learning, but frustrating too at times, and must have been for some customers too ...
Great thinking.

Perhaps its me but I know for me, a woman in software engineering, I constantly worry about what my name signals to potential employers. I wish my gender could be erased while being evaluated as I don't wish for it to be unintentionally or intentionally a factor in evaluating my job qualifications. Or the quality of any work I might publish online. No matter if it works out in my favor or not. I am kinda disturbed by the trend of LinkedIn profiles because I believe you are (apparently? I think...) encouraged to upload a picture of yourself. We did away with including a picture with your resume for a reason, now it seems to be coming back?

Seems as if employer tend to hire "potental friends" over potentally over more qualified applicants [http://www.forbes.com/sites/susanadams/2012/12/03/employers-...] which I think is part of the gender/race/ethnicity divide. People want to surround themselves with others like them.

As an aside, my experience seems to be that many employers of middle class jobs seem to expect candidates to come from a middle class upbringing and perhaps don't understand the opportunities that weren't available to some candidate due to growing up poor.

Just my opinions and thoughts on the matter.

The French national library has quite an extensive digital collection. https://gallica.bnf.fr/
You now have to integrate that pattern/module, and learn/work with the tooling to integrate the pattern/module, which adds new complexity and constraints on top of the now-centralized hidden complexity.

On the whole, it’s worth it - building on the shoulders of giants lets us achieve great things with what used to require out-of-reach amount of resources.

But as a result our work has shifted towards more integration and tooling (everything from node/npm to cloud services, orchestration, containers, and ML/AI) and total complexity keeps marching on upwards.
And yet, semantic diff and merge is a thing exactly because text is not universal when it comes to programming. Text is universal when you want to diff text but not when you want to diff programs.

In some sense, this has already happened. The US State Department seems to have been involved, at least to some degree, with the development of The Interview as a propaganda effort (see the leaked Lynton emails) and this has upset North Korea, since it knows the movie would get leaked to its people.

The current narrative is that North Korea (or sympathizers) attacked SONY for absolutely no reason - or that they wanted to silence free speech arbitrarily.

The United States is regularly hacked by foreign states and regularly hacks them. Hopefully the development of international norms and increased investment in computer security cools global tensions and prevents the kind of infrastructure sabotage that would result in human casualties from happening.
Maybe. I kind of hope this groundswell spurs another "Snow Leopard" type release.

That really wasn’t an attempt to kill discussion. Conspiracy theories are fine, I’m only not willing to accept them just because I feel like it and without further evidence.

Saying “[…] it’s obvious Time magazine has been pressured to choose someone less controversial” (emphasis mine) seems a little too sure to me. I would rephrase that to “Time’s editors might have felt that picking Assange in the current political climate could have resulted in negative consequences, which, if it happened like that, really says a lot about media and politics in the US.”
Most likely because they like the $ and consider it a feather in their cap to work for a government agency? Maybe some misguided patriotism too.

This is eye-opening for sure!
"This is what happens when people don't know the right amount to pay (how often do you call a locksmith?), so what they do is measure what they should pay based on the effort taken by the provider."

It's interesting to me that segregation of Asians isn't mentioned. By my own observation (which may obviously be flawed), the integration of Asians outside of urban Chinatown-like areas is pretty much complete.

In particular, Americans of Chinese ancestry (with which I'm more familiar, since my wife came from China) can be found anywhere in suburbia.
These lists always bother me because the one characteristic the companies listed always seem to share is: "It's a big corporation with thousands of employees". Precisely the one characteristic that immediately takes it off my list of "great place to work."
To summarize: it's a patent on the idea of overlaying a flight plan on a map using a website. The general case of this is drawing line-segments on a background, something every trivial paint program can do. This patent clearly fails the obviousness test.

I attended an advanced school as a student. We really didn't have any more resources than the non-advanced schools. It was simply a different, more advanced curriculum taught to those who both qualified (via test score) and were lucky (it was rationed via lottery).

This is a market inefficiency. These companies could be reselling the video cards without doing the extra work of putting together a full PC and everyone would be better off - you don’t have to resell parts as “used”, the company doesn’t have to ship you parts you don’t want, both of you don’t have to pay taxes on stuff nobody wants.

The issue again is that seems an opaque action based on vague "national security" grounds. It certainly behoves the executive to demonstrate justification for actions before they are done.
