Yeah, it's pretty hard to figure what to ban as "too Jewish" when the criterions are so generic they can easily apply to everything the same.

Folk knowledge has it that the nazis got rid of Fraktur and Sütterlin because they figured it'd be easier to adapt to the modern script when you rule the world than to get the world to adopt to your weird local script. I'm sceptical as to whether there's any truth to that claim -- although Germans are known for ruthless efficiency, the nazis had a tendency to put their ideology first.
I was involved with another company that used to operate in the same space, and they had a big problem with that. Movers would show up, offer the client a slightly lower rate if they paid cash, then both parties would cancel with the company and just work it out directly. Finding reputable contractors who wouldn't just cut the service out turned out to be a very hard problem.

The standard way for getting the actual PDF from a DOI, when it's a Crossref DOI (which it probably is) is to use the full-text link, available in the CrossRef API.

For DOI 10.1155/2010/963926

http://api.crossref.org/works/10.1155/2010/963926

From the returned JSON message -> link -> there's the PDF!

Publishers are still getting round to including the full-text links in metadata, but there are 16,000,000 DOIs with such data. Not all are open-access however.

When a PDF has Crossref CrossMark, the DOI is embedded in the metadata (I can't say how but I can find out)

"Do I enjoy decomposing problems into detailed lists of instructions?
Am I good at abstract conceptual thinking?
Am I comfortable being a digital construction worker?"

It is funny that these three questions appear one after the other in the article yet the author doesn't seem to understand the connection or the fallacy of the analogy.

Construction workers don't have to define what a 2x4 is, it simply exists. Translators don't create a new words. The developer has to work simultaneously in the world of the abstract and the concrete; the 2x4 doesn't actually exist in his world, he needs an abstraction to stand in for reality.

Very few people are able to simultaneously juggle both the abstract and the concrete. Which is why the majority of people quit; they do not have a mechanism for these mappings; how to take a requirement, represent it as a series of instructions, through the abstraction of a language.

So yes, academies are nonsense, but by using poor analogies, we simply reinforce the notion that predicated them in the first place.

Sort of. I used to use a cheapo Wacom tablet with a painting app for online WebEx demos a few years ago; I'd flip from whatever thing I was demo'ing to a new desktop with a blank raster file open and draw explanatory diagrams. It was actually pretty decent. Having a pen integrated into the device, with some sort of transparent annotation overlay app would have been pretty exciting for me back then (not least because I wouldn't have to hand write text!).
HLTV does precisely that kind of proxying of demo data. You can view games en-masse in-client.

LinkedIn open-sources PalDB, a key-value store for handling ‘side data’
FYI, React doesn't require any precompilation. You only need to include a JavaScript file. The JSX stuff is entirely optional, although almost everyone uses it. I share your fear and loathing of JavaScript compilation toolchains, and I successfully avoided all of them on a medium-sized React project. After we had a good working prototype, we started using some more tooling, but we kept it extremely simple to start with.

1. JSX tags simply compile to calls like React.createElement("a", { href: url }, ["content"]) and if you just create a short alias for that function, you don't need JSX at all.

2. If you're anything like me, things like Flux scare you by being weirdly ideological and requiring unnecessary boilerplate. You can ignore it and just use a single object to store all your state, according to the "keep it simple, stupid" philosophy. That said, I would recommend that you look at the Redux library, which is a simple and rational approach to the nebulous "Flux" concept. Redux is simple—it's just a certain design pattern that makes sense in the React context.

3. I find React.addons.update to be the most obvious and simple way of doing immutable updates to nested structures—which is what most React programs are doing all the time. People have come up with various libraries for more sophisticated immutable data structures, but you're unlikely to need them, and React.addons.update gives you 90% of the bang.

Next time I have a bit of non-stressed free time, I'd like to make a repository with an example React application that's extremely simple, requiring no tooling and as much as possible avoiding "lockin" to various newfangled libraries and paradigms...
I would think rarely would a normal on the wall whiteboard work well with a webcam on a teleconference, but then again I've never had a meeting room that worked for much of anything teleconference-related. Always something wasn't right, lighting, space, noise etc.
Well, that's one take on it.

"This resolution derives its emotional force from a broad sentiment among British people that they are more monitored and controlled than were their parents and grandparents, more harried and bullied. These feelings are amply justified. Not since the age of the village stocks and the ducking stool have people been as surveilled by their neighbors—or as exposed to public humiliation."

Right. So largely, people believe they are more controlled than before. This makes them unhappy, among other things. I guess somehow the author expects this sentiment to be ignored for the purposes of "security" if we merely divert blame from GCHQ to Facebook (a private entity). This attempt to derail the thrust of the problem is debunked by the well-known fact that Facebook collaborates extensively and exhaustively with intelligence organizations. Facebook isn't identical to GCHQ, but it's certainly a major input into their activities. The idea that community-based shunning is the primary oppressor of people doesn't quite mesh with the ability for people to sequester themselves among like-minded people more easily than ever thanks to the internet.

"By contrast, the security measures adopted by the British government to protect its people from terrorism are reasonable, minimally intrusive, and appropriate to the scale of the threat. They are not sacrifices of liberty. They are bulwarks for liberty—bulwarks against the would-be totalitarians of our time."

No. The security measures are part of a larger trend of oppressive behavior. Remember when the UK banned certain kinds of pornography? That wasn't related to "security"-- it was intrusive, not necessary, and a sacrifice of liberty. On that note, it doesn't support any security purposes to spy on what kind of porn people consume, but of course they do it anyway (check the Snowden files) because such information is a powerful tool for blackmail. Knowledge of this kind of program completely invalidates any claims of mass invasive spying being necessary for security.
Everything old on IRC is new again.

But, it is like commenting out regions in code. You are factually right, in that there is no editing of the DNA sequence i.e. no mutations. But this phenomenon exerts a similar end effect.
If you click the "source" link at the bottom of the piece, you'll find that this is not a hypothetical situation. That's an actual statement put out the police themselves, who know exactly what happened.
You know what, the barrier is fucking shit, that's true. I had issues myself and I'm not sure I am doing it right.
However don't knock it off because of the precompilation stuff. Mostly because I'd like a nice comparison by someone, heh :)

I personally hate bindings now, apart for using them with forms, but React offers a mixin for that. What I am interested is if Polymer is worth it or not.
JSX isn't mandatory, so you can just write plain old JS if you want. And if you want to use JSX but don't want to use a full-blown toolchain for development, there is an in-browser JSX transform library[0] that you can include to do the compilation on the client side.

To be fair React without JSX is pretty bad. I did that for a while with TypeScript before it got JSX support.
I often think about the strange coincidence that English is the easiest language to represent in a computer. Only 26 characters, with no accents, all independently placed in series. The only awkwardness is the existence of both capital and lowercase. (How much simpler would things be if case-sensitivity wasn't a consideration?) But at least capitalization is one-to-one in English, unlike German's "ss" rule. All this makes it easy to make a keyboard for English typing, too. Every other language and script I can think of is more difficult to handle in software. Perhaps Cyrillic is similarly computer-compatible, but I don't know enough about it to be sure.

It is just strangely convenient!

There are at least two ways to change an API without breaking it:

* Adding a new method to the API does not break the API.

* In certain language/middleware combinations, adding new properties to a parameter object does not break the API.

If we have a method that needs to change, we add a new method. New clients use the new method, and we support old clients until they are retired. When using JAX-RS, we can add new properties to JSON objects provided they are annotated correctly.
Sorry, as the other comment mentioned this is Scalaz as it makes code IMHO a little more readable. The example was more about the h:Option[String] part.
I do. You can't underestimate the value of existing infrastructure. Which is the same reason I would say the US, China, and others will never be able to compete with the emergent virtual economy. Everyone is expecting the next dominant power to look like the previous dominant powers, but they never do.

That depends on what you are doing inside of your web components. You can load any JavaScript you want in there, you know. If you want to use React, that's fine. Web Components is just a set of extensions to the DOM standards to allow encapsulated custom elements.
Bogus results is one thing; segmentation faults are another matter entirely! This is especially true for a ctype-type function. "isblank"? I can't even imagine what it would be doing internally for it to be possible to make it crash.

[this post was previously just as above, but in a more allusive form, so apologies if you saw that instead]
If I understand this correctly, the claim is that the massive surveillance is preventing deep, complicated plots like 9/11, so that what we get instead are more situations where one person does a (somewhat) mass shooting. It's not "mass" on the scale of 9/11, though - not even all of them put together are. So in terms of people's lives, it's a net win.

And in terms of freedom to just get on with your life, it's a net win for most of us... so far.

The problem is, if you give the government enough power to spy on people in order to prevent terrorism, sooner or later someone might use it for other than the intended purpose. And here the article's argument works exactly: You don't know how much tyranny has been prevented by denying the government the power to spy on citizens.
Having a botnet with all your servers really isn't a bad idea. I mean, easy admin access, live monitoring, the ability to query everything and have all interested ops people examine the output... pretty handy. Seems like it'd beat a lot of these monitoring services and tools people pay for these days.

There is a small chance that a case drops for you which is worth $5-$40 depending on which map you are watching that contains "Souvenir" items for the event signed by the players.

You only get drops if your Steam account that owns the game is linked to a twitch account that is watching, and is IP restricted (you won't get more drops unless you watch from different IPs at the same time). View botting exists, but it requires a lot of time/money to do, and the Twitch viewership numbers are actually more accurate than you would think.

PageRank and RankBrain both seem to be (complicated) features to the actual core search algorithm, which is some unspecified machine learned model [1].

PageRank, for example, can't be the whole search algorithm since it's not even query-dependent. It would just put the same most authoritative document at the top for every query.

Similiarly, RankBrain doesn't sound like it could be the whole algorithm. It sounds like it is just a text understanding model (which wouldn't know anything about e.g. the global reputation of the document, the popularity of the document, etc.). In fact, the article explicitly confirms this:

>RankBrain has become the third-most important signal contributing to the result of a search query, he said.

I'd guess some kind of composite content quality signal and some kind of composite popularity signal sit at #1 and #2.
