Interesting.

I would still contend that one cannot take some form of ideology, "dial it up to 10" and then claim it is still that same ideology. What you instead have here is a set of liars that hide behind a name.

That said, it does seem that Wahhabism and Sunni Islam are perhaps a more favorable place for such extremism to culture and grow. So I concede this is as much a part of Islam as the next part (however non-mainstream or mainstream it may be).

Clearly the shift here is what allows such extremism to succeed, the funding, the teaching, the dispersion of such ideas, how are they not called out for what they are: callous and inhumane and insane?

Who is responsible for turning a blind eye for so long? Is it just tolerated because it happens 'Over There' (in this case I suppose 'Over There' would mean 'Not Here in Saudi Arabia' where the political base of this brach of Islam claims home). Or is this more like someones thugs getting out of control -- i.e. this is a sponsored movement and attempts to restrain it are actively interfered with!

I have more questions than answers! What a complex part of the world!

Bootstrap gets 80% of the work done before you begin.....its getting the last 80% complete thats the tricky part ;)

I back up what you say 100%. Bootstrap is not acceptable for production code, its supposed to be a rapid prototyping tool.

I have found whenever it is added to a project, the technical debt it bring that you have to keep fighting is never worth whatever the initial savings was. I build without it wherever possible and avoid a lot of problems and maintenance.
> And no one in Europe is advocating throwing anyone back into a war zone.

Ah, you must be a bit out of touch with recent developments in NL. We're soon to have elections and it looks like we'll have Geert Wilders for prime minister, his main motto is 'close the borders', the secondary one is 'the problem is the foreigners' and the third is 'let's throw all those refugees out'. And whether it is exactly 40% or not is immaterial, the numbers are scary.

That's 30% declared right there, another 10% undeclared would not surprise me at all.
Thank you for your honest answers.

Let me respond to your counter question.

I'm considering myself as an atheist. I graduated law and (but) I'm currently working in IT.

What I found about myself and my own beliefs ( good vs. bad ) is basically a consequence of thousands of years of human civilization absorbed and morally embeded in human beings and in logically written laws.

So basically what I believe doing is good or what I believe doing is bad is defined purely based on logical concepts, incorporated mostly in our legal systems. Yes there are different legal systems, there are different cultural standards, but if you take a look at it, I bet :

1. Every legal system punishes killing, stealing, frauds, etc.

2. Every legal system has an exclusion of the first rule : self-defense, non-voluntary ( accidental ) steal, etc.

3. Every legal system also regulate the civil rights of people agains other people. ( Continental Law states that for a divorce there is a blame that might lie in one of the partners, based on this the other claims compensation - imagine cheating ).

So yes. You can find multiple examples for the most of the actions and you will see that they are mostly regulated.

e.g.

1) You found a passport on the street - By law you are obliged to return it to police ( good deed )

2) You drink a beer on the street - Based on the law you can decide if this is well received or not ( In Berlin it's pretty much everywhere )

etc.

For all other actions, that have no consequence in society and which are not regulated. I choose based on my own opinion and mood.

e.g.

1) Should I give a penny to that homeless person? Well If I feel in the mood, I would, If I don't I probably won't do it today.

2) Should I talk back to a rude person? If I feel really offended, I will most certainly do, usually I don't give a F.
Self-defense is not hate.

Consenting to slaughter is not love.

If you want proof the Haskell community is not incapable of criticizing itself, pop over to /r/haskell or something and post something like "If you were the King of Haskell and didn't have to worry about implementation effort, what would you change about Haskell?"

You'll get a hundred replies, the vast bulk of which will have some criticism of Haskell in it.

What won't happen is that the Haskell community will tell you all about how it regrets not being an imperative language and explain that if they could get away with it they'd switch everything to Java, because it would be so much easier.

Haskell is still a language going somewhere. It's one of the most interesting language communities there is, because most other languages are just re-exploring well-covered ground because they're shuffling the same basic primitives around in slightly novel combinations. Rust is also going to be increasingly interesting, I think, as they also have at least one big new primitive, and will have to discover how to use it skillfully, and probably discover other things they need as they go along.
"Deflation, in the other hand can only be solved by destroying real economy in order to adjust it to the financial economy."

Abenomics had no trouble reversing deflation in 2010-2013. You just have to really mean it and not depend on the bankers to do it for you. There was zero harm to the real economy.
The reason is that there are tradeoffs. Fixing the timestep guarantees a frame of latency, but most (all?) integration methods used to simulate physics break down with wildly variable timesteps.

Tying simulation to framerate is often the best choice, when you consider that most hardware is average, it minimizes latency for the average user, and results with a more accurate simulation, so long as people keep vsync on (why do you need framerate greater than your monitor's refresh rate anyway...).
Your scope is too small. The root of all this is decent education.

No. I live in a city with a considerable number of muslims and a considerable number of apostates. Isn't that the kind of place where you'd expect apostates to be killed, if anywhere?
That's the point. What the Paris attackers did makes them bad people. It's not up for debate.
I agree that bootstrap is probably a beast for a lot of projects but the primary reason most of us "misuse" it is the fact that it just damn works for the majority of use cases where Time and Money is of essence.

I run a bootstrapped product and would LOVE to create my own css rules from scratch but bootstrap gives the team flexibility to build on top of it quickly and just about good enough that our clients give us money. That is what matters to us. Could we care a bit more about the selectors defined by bootstrap ? Sure. Does it matter to our paying clients. Not a single bit.

The author has an incorrect definition of Taylorist management.

> Now obviously this is a blatant transgression — absolute, unequivocal application of Taylorist management in the context of a Product Development mindset

From the Wikipedia article that HE LINKS, this caveat is given as to why Taylorist principles still sometimes apply:

> Although scientific management as a distinct theory or school of thought was obsolete by the 1930s, most of its themes are still important parts of industrial engineering and management today. These include analysis; synthesis; logic; rationality; empiricism; work ethic; efficiency and elimination of waste; standardization of best practices.

And that's what JIRA is used for in most companies.
No, but it would be absolutely trivial to sketch the situation from a point of view where Bush, Blair and whole bunch of others would be seen as the terrorist masterminds causing the deaths of untold numbers of civilians. All in the name of the good of course, which is exactly what makes them just as bad as IS in that respect. They all actually believe they are doing the right thing.

And that's a discussion that has been had many times over, it's as boring to me as vi versus emacs.

Terrorist is a relative term, it mostly depends on which side of the fence your bed currently resides and what your personal belief system is.

I see precious little difference to an attack on Fallujah to 'liberate' it and an attack on Paris to murder a bunch of people. In both cases lots of innocents will die and the world will end up a substantially worse, not better place for everybody afterwards.
Why it matters that you realize you're in a computer simulation
Found the Lisp programmer!
Honestly I think Bootstrap works really well in exactly one role: "utility" interfaces. Your admin dashboard. You 'settings' UI. Your business back-office application.

Anything where you need functionality, not flashiness.

This is because it allows application developers to do just that - work on the application. They have pre-built components to use, that look reasonable and fit together, without needing a dedicated front-end developer to constantly futz with templates or a static version of the app when management asks for an extra form field.

About first part of your comment that is a simple false, that is simple lie western politician's they keep telling you . I can see personally what it will turns when it implemented in real world.Personally ,in my personal life.But about involvement , You should read my comment again carefully, I did say west should involve vigorously , but with what? with changing mindset of people, providing them Internet, free flow of information.It is so funny for me , USA keeps spending unlimited amount of money for fighting Iran , the one of the most important thing they should do is to figure out a way for providing free internet and better proxies and these kind of things(Generally free flow of information), they are not working on that . You may haven't seen what internet do with people life in middle east, I have seen it , personally , with my own eye. It turn fundamental religious idiots to people's who spend life time behind the desk reading/watching in internet.

p.s. about the part about country and religious.That was my whole point. YOU simply should show them your religion is wrong, people can fuck and have sex like haven (maybe better than that) in L.A. Without killing people.

Believe me , does not matter how much you are going to try and push. I will guarantee you , there will not any nation in middle east with these people.maybe a nation will be stabilize , but it will not democracy , it will be Saddam Hussein like leader and guess what , there is another generation of terrorist who will grow in Hussein like dictatorship.

Do you want nation. like you have in Scandinavia (in long term) ? keep working on their mind with free information flow.

I am seeing more of this attitude towards Silicon Valley every day.

One can only hope that a society of successful nerds re-learns the consequence of not being cool.

I'm not out of touch enough to have missed this opinion. But that is not the same as saying that people should be sent back to war zones. We don't have borders with Syria.

No, POST is create and PUT is update[1]. In the RESTful world, PUT uses a specific URL for that entity, e.g. PUT /contacts/rich-hickey: there is only one Rich Hickey and I'm going to update his contact info with the body of the request. Check out the Decision Flow Diagram, it is really awesome[2].

There is probably no single reason why you should never use POST when you need PUT or DELETE. This is mostly an implementation choice, but if you are using a Repository or DAO pattern on the server side, it might be easier to understand if all of the semantics align nicely, e.g. HTTP<POST> -> OOP<Add> -> SQL<CREATE>, HTTP<PUT> -> OOP<Update> -> SQL<UPDATE>.

IMHO using a parameter for method name is a call-by-name strategy that, in this case, is a level of abstraction that just isn't necessary. In other words, there is really nothing dynamic about the behavior. When the application state hits the client side, the flow of control is dictated by earlier events or actions. Your application isn't likely to make decisions on the fly about whether the current flow is concerned with creating an entity versus deleting an entity. For example, the user and the application state "know" already what is valid for an entity and it is likely that your application is reflecting that in a hard-coded "action=[add|update|delete]" parameter. Why funnel this state through a single method with a switch-statement on the server side?

Incidentally, there are some references to caching the results of a POST request[3] but I can't think of an production example that I've run across. It might be cacheable if the response is a redirect to the same "list of entities" URL rather than a direct URL to the newly created entity which is arguably more RESTful but not cacheable.

Because Bitcoin isn't money. It's a contract and notary system. A single satoshi can be used to publicly and programmatically set, satisfy, and extend a private contract in whole or part. The potential applications of this technology are mind blowing. Smart contracts are Bitcoin's killer app. Most people just don't know it yet.

The way 21 is positioned on this page is (I'd say poor) marketing meant to sell these devices to developers who aren't yet sold on the next thing in Bitcoin (i.e. smart contracts). The story told on this page and the roadmap they're showing investors is completely different. Just wait.

All you need is an imagined enemy or threat (human or not) and a goal to impose on them. That's what happened with Hitler, Stalin and many more. Religion is just one of the many available excuses, and a popular one because there's already many religious people. Building on what people already believe is always the easiest way to get them to join.
Some of you may frown on this but I treat bootstrap like a compiled resource. I always grab the packaged version and over write as necessary. I dislike fumbling with all the variables and since I use Rails my overrides will be compiled into scss anyway. I'd hate bootstrap too if I dove into the deep end for every project.
Huh, there are plenty of examples. Italy did it more than once, for example. But it isn't obvious whether its better to inflate or to default - both are painful and you need to be running a surplus barring interest payments or they might be disastrous.

The "law" of leaky abstractions is bollocks. Haskell, Idris and the like demonstrate this quite thoroughly, by offering abstractions that you can only implement if you provide proof that your implementation satisfies the assumptions of the abstraction.

I'm broadly in agreement with a lot of haskeldownvot5's views (if not his tone); I think laziness is, with the benefit of hindsight, a mistake. But it's not a case of ivory-tower PhDs forgetting that programs run on real hardware; if anything it's the opposite, an assumption that our tools and reasoning would not be powerful enough to allow us to efficiently manage computation explicitly.
Thank you! I was looking for that but wasn't able to find it quickly enough.

Yes, I enjoyed his blog too. RIP.
The post is interesting for many reasons. One in particular is worth discussing:

I have seen shia militant from very close

Most in the West have absolutely NO IDEA what the difference between Shiite, Sunni, etc sects are. We think they look the same, act the same, adhere to the same general doctrines. Most Westerners are barely aware of a difference, if at all, with no idea which is which. I mention this because it seems there is, indeed, a deep difference between the two causing a great deal of the regional conflict ... and when well-meaning outsiders seek to intervene (yes, got it, not our war, but that's not how we see it) we're likely to take action without regard to the Shiite/Sunni split - which of course doesn't help.

Those of us trying to decide how to respond to the Paris & other attacks are desperately trying to draw a line between the "bad" responsible for such atrocities, vs the "good" we want to protect. We need help drawing that line. Clarifying the difference between Shiite and Sunni would probably help.

And BTW: those who do not make clear which side of the conflict they're on are likely to be assigned a side, much to their dismay.
