Well, it's a library, not a Wikipedia article. And these don't seem to be textbooks. Frankly, I'm not shocked that there are old, 'outdated' books around.

Old books might provide some perspective that to science go forward and expand, there's a place where it left from. Assuming they are in good physical condition, and their contents were solid in their time, and other such practical considerations of running a library (like limited space for books and so on) are taken into account.

> good model for consumers, but probably not great from a sales perspective

That’s what regulation is for: The only thing we should be concerned about is the consumer, the employee, the normal person.

This includes job security, but it also includes allowing a free market in the terms that is necessary.

For TV channels, a free market is obviously an advantage, where the user can choose which channels to pay for and which not.

I think it's definitely enough to get you hired. It's also exactly how I landed my first job.

Good luck!

I know it's unfortunately long, but I have yet to find someone who has read it and is still confused about $GOPATH.
I knew that the cultures were different, but I never would have guessed that the Army had post-9/11 recruit quality problems - especially for combat arms. When the fourth 9/11 anniversary rolled around the USMC leadership was sweating bullets and pulling out all the stops for retention, because the enlisted pool was the best it had been in living memory.

Everybody knows that bootcamp is designed to provide a common experience and rebuild recruits, standardizing to the military's brand of discipline and morality - like interchangeable-parts from the industrial revolution. I've wondered what distance that influence would cover in one's life, because so far it is still holding up in interesting ways. I've talked to guys I hadn't heard from in ten years, and despite differences in profession and family situation, a pretty strong pattern has emerged in uncommon political/philosophical thought.

So maybe the influence is much more local. Maybe some soldiers become cops because their drill instructors withheld affection :)
What a helpful and inspiring reply, thanks a lot!

The only one of your hints I've properly followed in the past is the TV with subtitles one (specifically, watching a French series called engrenages [spiral] which by the way is fantastic!) and I agree that this really does a lot of good - it seemed to cement a lot of stock phrases and expressions by osmosis. I wasn't necessarily concentrating too hard on the language, more just engaged in the storyline, but was picking up a lot of things purely through repetition, in situational contexts, etc - I'm no expert but think this probably closely simulates how language is learned naturally through listening to parents, teachers, etc.

As already mentioned, the upgrade path for large apps is not quite as simple as the line implies.

Ignoring that, this concept of backwards compatibility above all things is so strange to me. How modern browsers work has changed fairly dramatically over the last several years. Not to mention a major, major overhaul of ECMAScript.

And yet, every. single. time. we have something that mentions backwards compatibility being straight-forward, the top comment is always about how re-writing frameworks are bad.

I don't have a problem with the way the Angular team are doing things. Angular 1.x will be supported for a long, long time. And even though this hasn't been announced, I expect the 1.x and 2.0 branch to gradually merge, requiring minor changes to code at each minor version increase.

So effectively, Angular 1.4 -> 2.0 is no different than Ember 1.0 -> 2.0 with the caveat that 2.0 was planned in advance so all of the minor version changes will lead to 2.0, rather than 2.0 being the outcome of minor changes in 1.x.

On the related Reddit thread [0] a commenter links to a very nice blog that evaluates Frege [1] in a very succinct way. To answer your question by quoting this blog post:

"Wrapping mutable Java stuff in Frege means that everything will end up in an ST monad, which is almost always IO. That means that using Java’s HashSet will force anything that uses that to be in the IO monad itself. So there goes purity and referential transparency, which are some of the best parts of Haskell in the first place."

Perhaps it was a different time, the '70s, perhaps a different location, very Red State and culturally part of the South extreme SW Missouri, but the teachers and administrators understood discipline and bullies. With one exception there were no repercussions when I fought back against bullies, who did indeed leave me alone for good afterwords, perhaps even becoming a bit friendly.

Once we were both sent to the principle's office and told to cut it out, that was a low level thing but in class (shoving a table in art class). And once in my senior year in high school I came close to possibly putting an assailant into the hospital, I was armed with a dog choker chain, but he ran away into a unoccupied part of the building guarded by a teacher.

He whined about my having that choker as I simply put it into my pocket in front of at least one teacher and 10s of students, and I was later told sub rosa that as far as the school administration was concerned, I could have beaten him up without repercussions.

Had a lot to do with who he was, who I was and how I'd never caused any problems in the high school. And again, the local culture, this is a place were a few years ago the police praised someone who had used lethal force against home invaders, and said she had an "absolute right" to do that, which is not a common thing for them to say elsewhere in the US.

But the less overt harassment I did receive had similar effects on me as with Jacques, maybe the physical bullying was limited because I steadily developed the CONSTANT VIGILANCE! one fictional character advocates due to it, and was generally known to be a hunter and target shooter (in my father's days in the late '40s/early '50 it was routine for students to store their hunting long guns in their lockers after early morning hunting or before hunting after school, to save time), and on the high school JROTC rifle team.

Who knows? Although one of the biggest disappointments in my life was having to credibly threaten lethal force to stop a hazing kidnapping in my first semester in college, despite it being the best school for its specialty in the world it seems people were still people....

Lua is such a fantastic language for embedding.

Unfortunately, as a Verizon customer, I don't have a wide variety of options with unlockable bootloaders. And the battery life on the Turbo was simply, the only feature that mattered. Usually there's an unlock within a few months, but there still isn't one at this point for the Turbo, I guess.
> Assange has never been ... charged with one

The UK legal system says he has. In the High Court judgement[1], the judge says:

> 153. ... there can be no doubt that if what Mr Assange had done had been done in England and Wales, he would have been charged and thus criminal proceedings would have been commenced. If the commencement of criminal proceedings were to be viewed as dependent on whether a person had been charged, it would be to look at Swedish procedure through the narrowest of common law eyes. Looking at it through cosmopolitan eyes on this basis, criminal proceedings have commenced against Mr Assange.

> despite what you seem to believe (who told you this?) the woman in question was not asleep

Assange is/was wanted in Sweden for 4 cases, with at least 2 different women. One of which is the charge that[1]:

> 3. ... deliberately consummated sexual intercourse with her by improperly exploiting that she, due to sleep. was in a helpless state.

Is he guilty? I don't know, that's up to the Swedish courts to decide.

It's an alternative in some restricted circumstances. Calc.exe is an alternative to Wolfram Mathematica. People who didn't just pirate Photoshop probably don't use the small subset of functionality that GIMP provides because if they were they'd be using GIMP before switching to Linux.
I agree that the library should make sure that there's up-to-date information around for this. However, surely one of the purposes of doing library research for school would be to teach to take things like "when this book was published" into account.

For a bright student (older age groups especially) it might even proivde an opportunity to remark on how old theories get updated when there's new information available. Sending probes serves a purpose.
They probally would like to go a-la-carte, and charge a fortune for each channel?

I sometimes think it was a mistake to let cable companies put their cables up, with these long term agreements? Agreements that always seem to favor cable companies?

I've never understood these franchise agreements. I always thought if you allow one company put up their wires, you should allow multiple companies the right to use the same utility pole to put up their equipment. If said company goes bankrupt--the municipality/county would own those wires/fibers, and could sell, or lease to the next company? Or, just rip them off the poles?

I'm kinda at the point where if I chief; I would rip out all the cable companies wires? I would let any company come in and put up new cables, but the service would need to be completely free. They would make money on advertising? The advertising couldn't get much worse?

(The only good thing I heard about cable companies is in CA; there is a bill up for consideration requiring all monthly fees for cable boxes, and modems be eliminated. Or, something along those lines?)
The compiler isn't very 'user-friendly', but if you're literally looking for "Haskell on the JVM" and don't care about speed, Frege is a lot of fun once you get used to it.

A supreme court ruling that doesn't find bails themselves unconstitutional would not help.

If they find bails unconstitutional, then the bail laws are void.

If they only find certain practices wrong, then you need to prove to a court, possibly on appeal, that the conditions from the supreme court judgement hold in your case. So you need a lawyer and some time, post-arraignment... You'll have the joy of having your bail found illegal after 2+ weeks in jail.

That's an impressive mix! There's a joke in there somewhere about maths and ancient greek complementing each other quite well ;-)

Question for you - roughly when did you take those A levels?

When I did my Maths A-level it was just one subject with 4 pure modules, and 2 applied modules (I did Decision Maths and Mechanics - again, another pointer to specialisation towards Physics/Computer Science).

I'm not sure if there was such a thing as separate pure and applied maths A-levels (IIRC the body was AQA) - could be wrong of course, but would be interested to know if this was a thing before, or after, I did mine, as I think it's actually a pretty good idea.
For a lot of the poors, any bail to post is too much bail. In the article here, one kid who got a 250$ bail and couldn't pay was homeless. He probably could hardly afford to eat, panhandling is not going to come up with 250$.
I liked it, but only after I read the [about] section, maybe you should leave it open automatically.
If a platform is popular, language creators will want their languages to run on it, especially if that platform solves some of the problems the old platform has (like excessive memory consumption in the case of Java).

Rich Hickey has complained about the lack of composite value types for instance, and I can imagine that many language creators would love to use green threads based concurrency without actually having to write the low level code for it.

Go is a minimalist language. Many people want more sophisticated type systems and other modern features. So there's a great opportunity for other languages to stand out without having to compete with Go itself. Every time Java adds some functional programming support, the Scala community has to defend its raison d'etre. There would be no such issues with Go and that alone would be a real incentive for language designers to put work into a compiler.
Besides the questionable bail system, what I really don't get is why there's jail time on minor drug possession delicts.

One can debate about the war-on-drugs (I think it's failed) but even if society thinks drugs are a bad thing and worth fighting against it, it's the dealers that should go to jail, not the people who use drugs.
30 days for holding a straw that might contain some heroin, really? Something is obviously very very broken here.
No, the charges are that the crimes were committed in August 2010. See the UK High Court appeal to the extradition[1].

The Totally Managed Analytics Pipeline: Segment, Lambda, and Dynamo
Our two proposals aren't mutually exclusive, but are essentially quite similar. For any criminal case there is a corresponding civil action to make the injured party whole. These perps are acting against the law, and as such it's obvious they should be subject to both avenues of justice.

IMHO the civil approach is just a lot easier to adjudicate - when the victim is found innocent, they should be immediately compensated for any and all damages resulting from arrest, imprisonment, and trial. If the department wants to recoup losses from specific individuals who went against policy, they can settle that much thornier argument on their own time.

Proving that a specific individual acted criminally outside their mandate is an even higher burden to meet. When this is warranted, it would be fantastic. But we can envision many cases where an individual cop is following a reasonable policy, yet it still results in an innocent being held in jail for a day and losing their job as a result.
