From the changelog of the latest release of Perl: "CGI has been upgraded from version 3.63 to 3.65. NOTE: CGI is deprecated and may be removed from a future version of Perl."

You can still make arguments about list handling in Perl, but using a deprecated module, which has been understood by the community for years to be problematic and exists mostly for backwards compatibility, does not bolster your argument, it does the opposite.

Using large monolithic projects that were started 10+ years (Twiki: 1998, Movable Type: 2001, Bugzilla: open sourced by Mozilla in 1998) ago also doesn't lend itself well towards pointing out modern usage of Perl.

Feel free to make any argument you want, but you should use relevant examples if you hope to be taken seriously.

Edit: Typo fix: s/not be problematic/be problematic/
Sounds like fear mongering. There aren't any terms in there that you won't find on other sites that allow users to post content. The company is protecting itself from misuse in a way that might not have been necessary when the Delicious service first launched in the early days of Web 2.0.
Very cool!

I was inspired to name some of my more fun Insectoid level designs after Strandbeests.
There's a difference between admitting you don't know a piece of trivia, and just giving up on questions. Engineering interviews that are quizzes on trivia are really poor interviews. But if they ask a question I don't know the answer to, I'll talk my way through it as far as I can, but at some point you have to identify the missing pieces.
There were a couple of these companies (the most prominent being http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Devices), but they went out of business because the market value of idle CPU time was less than the companies' overhead costs; they couldn't afford to pay anything.

You could think of Bitcoin as paying for your GPU power, though.
The fact that you have to install South to begin with is an issue, IMHO.

This is certainly plausible. Nevertheless, the resulting changes in economy would drive more inequality and reward people with capital and/or technology
non-engagement with toxic trolls

What does this mean in detail? Reverting their changes while refusing to discuss it?
You're starting to understand why this conflict is pointless.

Disclaimer: I work for Curse, a gaming media company which has had no involvement in the subject. What follows is obviously my own opinion and recollection of events, not of my company.

TLDR: The conflict has its roots in conflicts of interest centering around a certain female indie game developer who had a relationship with a journalist at Kotaku. From there, the debate split between reasonable people talking about journalistic ethics and ... less reasonable people having disgusting reactions like you'd get in any heated debate on the internet (especially in a fairly younger demographic).

Several gaming news sites involved in the accusations started focusing on the mysoginy part in order to save face and the original issue of journalistic ethics was replaced by a debate on sexism in video games, the lack of female characters etc etc (a debate which, by the way, we regularly have in the gaming community).

So no, anti-gg doesn't specifically care about journalism ethics. There is a massive misunderstanding in what "gamergate" actually is and if only this pathetic debate moved to a platform which ACTUALLY ALLOWS DISCUSSION FFS, it'd fairly quickly be cleared up with the noise filtered out. This is why I recommend those who actually care about the actual issues to distance themselves from this disaster.
I think a lot of what you are saying is completely untrue. Laravel is a very capable framework for this kind of thing. PHP has come a long way since the days of PHP4, and Laravel/Symfony 2 are leading the way in that sense.

> Unfortunately there are still many frameworks used nowadays, that are missing very important things around groups, ACLs / RBAC and collaboration.

The framework doesn't give you everything, but there is a huge community out there for these kinds of things. For example, there is a package that plugs right into Laravel called Entrust: https://github.com/Zizaco/entrust.

> An experienced developer will of course identify these weak points of a framework immediately

What other weak points do you see in Laravel?

> Laravel is ok for a quick and dirty prototype that helps you to model your ideas, like a brainstorming session, but should not be used for a real project.

This seems like an extremely biased opinion again.

I am not trying to start a framework or language flamewar, but it just seems like you are more comfortable with Java or Python and as such you see those as being better. Objectively I think that is far from the truth.
I suspect that your average Android user has no idea about the browser on their phone. These are the users who are most at risk.

Also, correct me if I am wrong, but app-based webviews (or app actions that spawn a browser instance) would defer to the default browser, ignoring any installed 3rd party browser. So i believe that the "install chrome" solution does not actually resolve the problem.
There was so much reveling about the authenticity of modern bloggers that he forgot to provide links to the actual interviews.
Don't talk about bombs in an airport. While the reaction from security staff is stupid you have to be a fucking idiot to think that hand-written flashcards with words like...

> “bomb,” “terrorist,” “explosion,” “attack,” “battle,” “kill,” “to target,” “to kidnap,” and “to wound.”

...are not going to arouse suspicion, especially among low-paid staff with little training.

There is a similar appeal to conversing with a self-learning chatbot (thinkingai.com, etc). Not as consistent at times, but similarly intriguing how "easy" it is to trick you into believing you had a "real" relationship.
Oh Ok! Thank you @ghshephard @diverightin63 . Now it makes sense. Wow!
I don't use PHP at all, but one thing I envy PHP (and Perl) users is that they have excellent libraries to interact with SQL databases in the form of PDO (PHP) and DBI (Perl). There's no direct equivalent of this in Python which is a shame. The mantra in Python land is to use ORMs which I am not a fan of.
> > You have a point, but recognize that standing on morals won't get you out of punishment.

> Is that supposed to be a reason not to do it?

Not really. It's meant to be a "be sure you know what you're getting into" warning.

> But if everybody, especially the innocent, takes practical defensive measures then taking defensive measures is no longer evidence of anything. It's like encouraging people to use Tor to check sports scores and read Wikipedia.

Considering Tor: I'm perfectly OK recommending people check sports scores and read Wikipedia through Tor in the US or other Western countries; but I would feel irresponsible giving that advice to people in, say, North Korea or Iran.

> And because you're innocent, whatever legal consequences may currently be the result of defending yourself are irrelevant to you with high probability because they only come into play if you are already a target. And since that is very unlikely to occur, and if it does you're basically already screwed anyway, discouraging people from doing something that allows the innocent actual targets to claim a stronger defense is probably not in the public interest.

Remember, in criminal law, there has to be an illegal act and a state of mind (the person acted willfully, recklessly, negligently, etc.). The state of mind is nearly impossible to prove with a confession, so it's generally proven by the circumstances: given that the person was under investigation, is it more likely that they destroyed evidence (1) to hinder that investigation, or (2) as a form of civil disobedience and they were unlucky in that they hadn't realized they were under investigation? Of course, in US criminal law, the question is "do you believe, beyond reasonable doubt, that the person destroyed evidence in an effort to interfere with the investigation?" But once proof that the person was being investigated is used to imply their state of mind, the fact that the accused went through a lot of trouble to set up a dead man's switch is going to look sinister; even if there are activists in the world -- who are not under investigation -- going through the same trouble to set up similar systems.

Civil disobedience is admirable, but it's easy to forget that civil disobedience is most effective when people are severely punished for standing on their morals, especially when the punishments are extra-judicial (unnecessarily rough arrests, paperwork snafus with real world consequences, difficulty getting medication ( http://herculesandtheumpire.com/2013/12/28/casual-cruetly/ ), etc.). We recently celebrated Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in the US. According to the Letter From Birmingham Jail ( http://www.africa.upenn.edu/Articles_Gen/Letter_Birmingham.h... ), King made sure to tell protestors that they could be beaten and jailed for their protests ("We began a series of workshops on nonviolence, and we repeatedly asked ourselves: 'Are you able to accept blows without retaliating?' 'Are you able to endure the ordeal of jail?'"). It's admirable that people took him up on the offer, but it's very important that people know what they're signing up for.
Some things ARE expensive because they are difficult, require quality components or processing. I would rather spend on difficult science than on dumb bombs...

I did a search for the word splinters, and found none in the comments or in the post. Has this issue been addressed?!
thank you for posting this, I am also asthmatic and would like a better preventative measure instead of depending on having a dose left in my inhaler. I will be sure to give this a try to see if it helps any.
I feel that we spend too much time worrying about the syntax of programming languages. I don't find switching between typing in erlang/lisp/java/ruby code any more difficult. All I do is switch IDEs (or plugins) and I'm at about the same level of productivity typing wise.

Semantics are much more interesting to talk about, but it seems we never do talk about them. We rarely have holy-wars over the semantic differences between (for example) c and lisp, or lisp and Erlang.

There are certain problems that are easier to solve when expressed as many concurrent processes. In this same way, there are certain problems that are easier to solve when expressed as self modifying code or a tower of objects, or low level bit bashing.

At a certain level, different syntaxes do absolutely nothing for me. No matter what I'm doing with code, I am manipulating a syntax tree. I'm never thinking about the syntax on the page as the 'code,' what is on the page is just a representation of the 'code' that is in my head and being run by the computer. And the semantics of that 'code' is what influences how I use the language.

Syntax on the page is almost a deception. Kind of an illusion that influences you into thinking about the code in a certain abstract way (a spatial 'on the page' arrangement of different parts), when really, the code was already abstract to begin with (runtime execution 'arrangement' of the different parts).
I'm fairly certain that kenjackson was being ironic.

If it is a lie, is it not slander/libel? That would be a really big deal. Tarnishing a devs reputation and the OBSD project is not cool.
>There is a false assumption that IPv6 will make mass scanning like this impossible.

Well, this is an IPv4 brute force search, so technically a IPv6 brute force search is still impossible.

You are correct though, no one is going scan something that is 99% empty by brute force.
You are welcome.

To be fair, Covid likely played a part in that long silence. I believe there was even a hiring freeze for a bit in spring. Not that it excuses bad behavior...
I believe one of the objectives of the F-35 was for the plane to be able to fulfill all kinds of different roles. That idea in itself seems pretty much impossible for me. Especially on a budget.
The problem there is if it gets hacked then in the best case it's grounded and in the worst case it's now the enemies aircraft.
I don't know about anyone else, but I read the sentence as a causal opinion, mentally adding an "I think" into his phrase. I wasn't sure if his "fact" had any truth, but "effect" is debatable in almost all cases. And that's a useful mnemonic to have, because it allows you to avoid the common trap of needing to "prove" someone wrong on the internet.

A*****17: Hillary Clinton also tried to make GTA illegal, which _I think_ is a large part of why Trump became president.
That's cool, thanks. Do you know if Vim has a way to shorten a command like this? For example :stk or something?
I understand your point, nothing is perfect, but surely a public easily-audited blockchain does more to deter corruption and, if it occurs, find the perpetrators? As compared to a traditional system which is basically a log file that anyone with access (such as a rogue IT admin) can change?

You can sign entries but unless you have each subsequent entry build on what came before like in a blockchain, entries can be removed entirely and no one will know. There is a reason companies like DHL are interested in such things.

Example: Our product is sourced from a company and this providence is on the blockchain. It comes to light they employ slave labour and we'd rather cover it up. How do we alter these original transactions without the evidence being in plain sight?
What do you think those toolbars do? Inspect and Inject javascript into webpages, send my web browsing history to their master servers. It cant imagine a toolbar that isn't malicious.
This is a great story, but it suffers from a certain measure of survivorship bias. Ed Witten certainly had the fortitude and introspection to jump from field to field yet still keep in mind the ultimate goal of his explorations (which eventually led to great success) but my guess is that most people that hastily quit most endeavors that don't immediately strike their fancy do not end up nearly as successful.
Agreed. I really dislike all of these grand claims that x service is the future of y. It's just stack overflow applied to handle any topic.

Your $100 jeans and t-shirt with some witty Internet meme differentiate you from the gardener in real work clothes.
Pagerank was a differentiator. None of your points are.
It's interesting you mention that. I pointed that out today, and a new rule was implemented, saying that if a cracked application has a built in (fully featured) timed trial when it detects that it is a pirated version, then that check should remain intact and un-patched, otherwise the crack or request for the crack will be removed. Not perfect, but at least a step in the right direction (they didn't have an argument when it was brought up, because their reasoning is that people want a fair chance to try apps before paying, which this compromise allows).

I'd link to the thread on their forums about this new rule, but I'm assuming that most people in here are iOS developers who seem to be against this, so you probably don't have an account on their website and can't view the post.
I remember typing programs from Compute! into our C64 while my dad waited semi-patiently for me to finish and demo the results, so he could get back to watching TV (never owned a monitor so had to use the family TV, was years before I got a disk drive.) I fondly recall these times.

One of the frequent arguments here against torrent sites is that people think it's a platform for ONLY copyright infringement and therefore conclude by accusing their users of being mass copyright infringers and that these torrent sites aren't some 'noble cause' and that its users are greedy parasites, etc.

1) I'd like to break your first world bubble and tell you about a little secret - Not all content is available all over the world. There are really some beautiful pieces of art (Movies, Music, etc) that are available (for purchase/viewing) to certain parts of the worlds (Eg. US) and not available to the rest (Eg. India). What makes you think that you deserve to have access to these content and the rest of them don't?

You can observe this even on iTunes - "Sorry the content you requested is not available in your country. Redirecting you to the <insert country here> store."

Sometimes, there isn't an option to purchase these content and the only way is to download them via torrents. You see information is like light - It's best when it's shared. People are afraid that the more you share it, the less they will be able to meter it. But they are so wrong[1].

2) I am a genuine customer of Adobe. I invested heavily into their software suite. I paid several thousand dollars to upgrade their softwares so that I can keep a copy of what I paid for. One fine day, infact, the very next day after I paid for the CS6 suite, they introduced the Creative Suite cloud and fucked up so many people dependent on their software - Basically, it's a model where you keep paying them till you die and if you don't pay, you lose access to the software. This is probably fine with me, since I'm a business guy and I can probably afford the money. But the people who were affected the most were students - Who paid for the student subscription, but were fucked to move to the cloud and pay again: https://www.facebook.com/adobesteals

Now, shortly after this happened, the piracy rates of their software suites simply skyrocketed on several torrent sites. Most of the consumers of these torrent sites are students who cannot simply afford to buy it. This in my opinion is good. Why? Because this is the only way of not supporting such companies - By using their products in a way that doesn't benefit them (Remember, I am a legit customer who has paid for their software). At the same time, the students who can't afford are also not at a disadvantage just because they couldn't access a particular software suite during their course of studies.

There are even more benefits of torrent sites, but one thing people must understand is that torrent sites are more than just for "Greedy parasites".

It only a moderate surprise that I'm wrong on this, especially since it was a short and poorly thought out comment. Are you aware of a good source that could familiarize me with some of these things so I can be less dependant on my imagination and more dependant on facts?

To summarize my thoughts from other comments here, I'm unconvinced that creators have a moral right to control the ways people use something that they've put out there, and I have a pretty strong idea(which given this comment and a few more of yours elsewhere I seem to need to review), that Publishers(which includes Studios, Labels, Producers & so on), add very little value, which I agree is in marketing and other services.

My impression was that what a Publisher does is largely extract rent from various investments they have made in various kinds of connections, or physical facilities, and that they maintain this position by excluding people who don't buy into their particular way of doing things. While this isn't "bad" or "wrong", that impression makes it pretty difficult to sympathize with what I perceive to be a sudden increase of market discipline and pressure for them.
For a person net worth is a lot more meaningful than debt. I wonder if anyone has ever tried to calculate the net worth of the United States.

My suggestion is just to pivot your ruby skills (I assume are web dev) into Python. Make something awesome in Flask - there aren't any real good data science tutorials in Flask which sucks but it seems to be a tool that a lot of data scientists use.
I'll have a go.

If orders are pulled the moment someone actually tries to match the market price, it's a clear indication the parties putting up the offers were not willing to accept the price they had put up.
I think you misunderstood vidarh's post. His/her second paragraph was referencing existing providers, not Soylent.
> The argument is whether the value of commodities or currencies are subjective, or whether they are ultimately derived from labor. Bitcoin partisans believe the former, I believe the latter.

And what about the labor which went into designing and coding the bitcoin software, the exchanges, and so forth? Do you think all that labor was worthless (we don't even have to include the "mining" capital and labor in this judgement)? Well, then the value of labor is apparently just as subjective as the value of commodities. So I don't follow how a premise involving STV vs LTV can be used to make a logical argument about the value of bitcoin, or any software for that matter.
You forgot that the supply of gold is limited. So if gold is durable, storable, standardized, portable, easily divisible and the supply is limited, then it's exactly like Bitcoin. Only gold is actually less portable, less durable, much less divisible and its supply is less limited than the supply of Bitcoin.

Now tell me, what Bitcoin doesn't have that Gold has (except for the industrial use, which you admitted didn't event exist before the industrial revolution, and, frankly, can only be attributed to a fraction of actual gold's price)?
Author of that article runs a coal/oil propaganda organization called "The Center for Industrial Progress".

[Bitcoin is not a ponzi scheme.](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/FAQ#Is_Bitcoin_a_Ponzi_scheme.3F)

If Bitcoin is a ponzi scheme, then startup investment (which requires you to be an "accredited investor" aka have a million dollars just lying around... literally, that's what it takes to achieve "accredited investor" status) is also a Ponzi scheme.
Your ad seems to suggest desperation -- "I need cash right now." That's not a bad thing to say, but when you're in that situation you should be playing in your wheelhouse.

If you're not desperate, you should reword your ad to emphasize the fact that you're trying to broaden your search.

There's an incoherence in the message.
