Sadly, I believe this won't work. Just complicate things.

Even if values and their derivatives are "tainted" (remember Perl 5?) there are _always_ means to take a value and "untaint" it. Unless, of course, the set of possible operations on such value is severely restricted, but I believe that'd make things unusable.

This reminds me of ICFPC'08 (one of best ICFP contests ever) where one of the puzzles was about a robot that wasn't able to disclose secret blueprint contents because of a Censory Engine. Every time a secret or some derived value was about to be printed, it was replaced with "REDACTED". Surely, there was a way to work around this. ;)

So, a malicious extension would always be able to steal your password and send it to remote site, even if it would have to leak the data bit-per-bit, a single bit per request, over a side channel.
> If you like books for the"feel", you are missing the point of reading.

Heh, you made me smile :-) ..like a big wide grin. I'm missing the ^point^ of reading ?? Because, I like to hold the book as I read it ? Seriously ?

Nobody told me there was a point to it, I always thought reading is its own joy. To feel the flavor of the words and to hear the rhythm of the sentence was supposed to be point, if there was one.

The 'feel' of flipping pages is just a nostalgia worth holding onto, for me. Especially so when the words are actually typeset in a manner where page breaks provide transition. You know what else I like besides holding the book and flipping the pages ? I like bookmarks. I enjoy placing them and taking the time to pause, to enjoy. I like the smell of fresh print. I like leather bound, hardcover and paperback in that order. Is all of that missing the point of reading as well ? Am I not a ^serious reader^ because I cling to the physical manifestation ? Poor me, the amateur reader.
> 1) We value work life balance!

I interviewed somewhere that specifically mentioned #1 in the job description. I applied in part because it was the only job ad I had seen to that point specifically mentioning it.

It was brought up again in the interview as a perk of the job, by the person who would be my boss, without my prompting. In the very next sentence he made a generalization about being confused as to why developers would not willingly work 45-50 hours a week as a rule and how "40-hour clock watchers" never lasted long at the company.

The cognitive dissonance was staggering.
It sounds like the bot could be made (slightly?) more intelligent, to avoid entering contests that you're certainly not eligible to.

Why? It's better to win everything possible to prevent other people from winning them.
What resources are they using, though? Marginal cost of copying the code is close enough to zero to practically be zero. The project consumes the same amount of resources regardless of whether or not any one user decides to use the software. In other words, where's the "load" in freeload when someone uses open source software under the terms of its license?
I also really liked this recording of Gustavo Nunez's bassoon solo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xfg9IIXhcPk

In general I agree with you, but reliably whenever anyone complains about sites that require javascript or flash to load, people will respond that javascript (or to a lesser degree, flash) is required in the modern web and if you don't have it enabled by default you are some kind of wierd paranoid luddite.
A workshopper for learning Git and GitHub
It will be interesting to see how the different approaches develop. While there's something to be said for the "purity" of an all-electric car, there's also some reasons to think a plug-in hybrid with a moderate size battery may be the better choice for the mainstream.

- Batteries are expensive and buying a vehicle with batteries that are large enough to cover most uses will often be a more expensive approach than hybrid.

- There's a lot to be said for a vehicle that isn't range-limited even if it's normally used as a second vehicle to drive around town.
In my experience, some are leaders. Most are just managers.

From time to time, I think about the same thing. I'm not convinced they shouldn't have taken the 9-digit offer from Apple.

Although I was an evangelist and used it frequently (on the must-install list of apps) now I often forget that I have it. Like just now, I had forgotten about it until seeing your post. I think it is installed on my home machine somewhere.

And wow does it feel like Box eliminated them in enterprise. I mean my experiences are anecdotal, but when I see 30,000-members organizations handing out Box accounts by default to new employees (and it syncs and ties into their company's CAS for authentication) it makes you think, "Dropbox who?" So I really hope they dominate the persona-user space.

A correct OT transform, yes. But I'm not using OT's invariants, so this is not something my transforms do. For example, in my system, if you have "insert X at pos 5" and "insert Y at pos 5", the document will contain "XY" or "YX", depending on which arrived first.

me too! but there are soo many compatibility layers you can get and bolt on for free and they also work around version issues and things like that... of course if you need the latest version then you're in a different boat, but the generic problem of talking to a database is basically solved by now
I'm curious what exactly you have in mind.

I've seen the numbers, after I read Piketty's book (and the critiques) I was looking at how this plays out. On the one hand do you have the 1% buy up all the land, build castles, and the rest of us serfs work in extortionate rental units?

I really don't think that is where the market ends up. So how does it change? Extra-market capital tends to distort things, like expat Chinese buying up houses in the Bay Area for cash, but given the supply of housing I can't see them or the rest of the 1% cornering the supply. I do see enclaves of the super rich, but there have always been those (think the Hamptons, or Los Altos Hills). But the miles and miles of tract houses in surburbia? Not so much.

So when the middle class loses their purchasing authority, the demand for houses softens, new housing starts slow down and resale of existing homes takes longer. Then prices flatten out until they catch up with the buying power. (or drop down to a level of affordability).

A lot of artificially low prices were created during the foreclosures of 2009 - 2013 but that force has largely abated.

That said, a lot of my kids generation really aren't that interested in "owning" a house, but I don't know if that will change as they move into raising families or not.

Good metrics to watch though seems to be days on market for existing homes and new housing starts. And that seems a good trailing indicator of how the middle class is doing.
The angry response to my post is quite telling. Guess I hit a nerve.
This makes sense when you use an ORM that will transparently work. You trust the ORM to insulate you. If you have needed to go direct to SQL for something then you're looking at putting in test-specific code in your production code to simulate/fake/disable the custom SQL bit...

Just run postgres on a ramdisk, or on an SSD with sync disabled and a scripted setUp/tearDown.

>that CEO's wife overstepped her boundaries and used company resources for her own projects [1] (independent investigator found that to be true, and CEO stepped down).

This is particularly fun to note, because it shows that these investigators were not being easy/taking the side of the CEO. In short, it gives strong evidence they really were independent investigators.

I'm continuing to wander slowly but surely into more architecture roles, and while the term has fully justifiably been badly wrecked by people doing "architecture" who think it involves drawing diagrams with lots of boxes and lines and never checking the architecture against the requirements, there is a legitimate architecture role that does exist and there are legitimate skills that are specialized to that role. I'm not sure it's something that can be taught very well, though. But as one for instance, I could clearly explain to you how the architecture conforms to Conway's Law and exactly why it's shaped the way it is, and not some other way.

(Conway's Law is huge for a high-level architect... in a lot of ways you do not so much "create" the architecture as discover how to correctly translate the pre-existing corporate structures into code in the most business-efficient manner. "Architects" in this position who think they're working with a blank slate crash and burn, and probably are the source of the disdain for the term. A real architect is in fact working in some of the most constrained design space there is. In some ways that actually sorta kinda makes the job easier; you can sort through and dismiss a lot of bad choices very quickly with Conway's Law. The biggest challenge is when you get constrained down to zero choices for some problem and have to work Conway's Law in the other direction, and figure out how to fix the corresponding structural failures in the organization itself. It's a lot easier to change code than people structures, but sometimes you have no choice....)
Sigh... there is so much wrong with what you've posted here, but I don't want to get into a screaming match with you about it.

And in true TMTOWTDI fashion, I'd add that depending on what the four lines were (in relation to my cursor and their content and, frankly, whatever pops into my head first), I'd probably do 4dd, or d4j, or d] or d} (if the final line was the end of my current sentence or paragraph) or d2] if it was two sentences.

My favourite bit is that I use which one pops into my head first. If I think "until the next occurrence of 'nded?'" then that's what I do, with d/nded?<RET>. If I think "up to line 438" then I can do d438g. It reduces the number of decisions I have to make, which increases my mental stamina.

The economic motivations that drive FOSS development haven't really been done justice in the peer-reviewed literature on the subject. We used to say "Money, Glory, and Fun" were the reasons, and to some extent that was and remains true. However, I think there's always been quite a lot more to it. After the collapse of the dot-com bubble, there were a LOT of developers, particularly junior level developers, who couldn't find the kind of work they wanted and hoped to find after college, and committing to Open Source projects was a great way to get a kind of apprenticeship with some of the best development teams in the world. Participating in those efforts exposed new developers to new ideas, new ways of building software with distributed development teams, and more often than not exposure to world-class software. The monetary value of that sort of software engineering apprenticeship is hard to gauge, as you typically can't get its equivalent in a corporate internship, and many university CS programs rightly prioritize computer science over software engineering skills.

> If your statement is correct, then there should be a large number of sociologists in education who believe that socioeconomic status is at best a weak predictor. Where are these sociologists?

You're talking about an observation, not a model or even a qualitative explanation.

People have always known that the Sun "moves around" the Earth. That's an observation, and was never in dispute. The model has changed, though.

Doctors have always known that ulcers exist. Their model of the cause changed in the light of new evidence.

Did the Coleman Report do much to change the views of sociologists? I'm guessing they always knew that "rich kids do better at school". Do they think that's due to genetics, teacher behavior, better schools, parents reading to kids? Do they suggest the same interventions, to fix the inequality?

To answer the downvote tidbit, there is and it shows up when your Karma is high enough. That threshold is not disclosed however.
Cases like this could define how we look at drones in the future, whether you agree or not, drones need to have better rules and/or licensing. One of the main issues is that currently drones are considered aircraft and you DO NOT shoot down an aircraft. If the government really wanted to prosecute this guy he'd be sitting over a very hot fire (I hope that doesn't happen)

I don't think the FAA wants that to happen, but I might be wrong. I know they are attempting to define drones in the air space, however it's a long and very complicated issue, mostly because of the who owns the different airspace and how they regulate hobbyists vs commercial.

The issue is that there is a lot of interplay between the FAA (internal between ATO and other groups) and the lobby for model aircraft association. Currently much of the non-commercial flight falls under their jurisdiction. The issue is that many people who buy drones don't go through the full process and aren't really involved so they don't know hobbyist rules for drones. http://www.modelaircraft.org/

Commercial operation of a drone however, requires a much longer process.

"Why do commercial operations require a different process?

All operations conducted in civil airspace must meet minimum levels of safety. Public UAS operators have the ability to self-certify their equipment and personnel, but civil operators are certified by the FAA. We believe civil operators will benefit from the collaboration between the FAA and the public operators. Presently, the FAA is drafting a rule to address small UAS (less than 55 lbs.). Until that rule is promulgated, anyone wishing to operate a UAS for purposes other than hobby/recreational must obtain a grant of exemption issued under Section 333 or type and airworthiness certificate."

Not to pick on the author of this mini-tutorial but this is a completely futile exercise as can be seen by the accompanying diagram outlining the building blocks of his endeavor which was a raster graphics not HTML/CSS as he preached.

You would think he would put his money where his mouth is and convert all the diagrams and vector graphics into HTML/CSS but deep down he knows it's just ridiculous and excruciatingly impractical.
While I agree testing well is crucial, running your tests on one RDBMS that's fast and running them less frequently (think "before merging into production") is a good compromise. PostgreSQL is slower here than SQLite and if your tests take 20 minutes to run, your developers won't test as often as you would like them to.

It also prevents you from doing things that only one RDBMS does (I was bitten by this because SQLite supports timestamps with timezone data and, at that time, the MySQL we used in production didn't) making your app more "robust" (you are using an ORM for a reason, right?).

Imagine you only test your app in PostgreSQL and, because of that, your app makes assumptions about the environment only PostgreSQL satisfies. You simply can't move to anything else without extensive rewriting. Now, when the workload changes, you can't just change your storage backend to one that suits your workload. You need to make PostgreSQL do whatever your new needs are. PostgreSQL is probably a good enough solution, but it's not the optimal solution for all problems.
Then it's not free software, and GNU projects should not depend on it.

Sorry but currently this drone was considered an aircraft and you don't have the right to shoot down aircraft over your property. You can build structures that block them but not shoot at them.

Edit: OK This is getting downvoted, so I'll clarify. I'm not saying I like the fact that this is how the law in the USA is, but that's how it is. It is legally considered an aircraft. He shot down an aircraft.

Does it need to change? Yes. Is it changed now? No.
