You're basically name-calling, which is unproductive. While I'm not in agreement with OP, some levels and methods of altruism/volunteerism can end up being counterproductive. A certain level of free <insert good> to a region is useful. Above that, or for too long, and you end up harming local farming and manufacturing, to the point where they may also depend on the free goods.

I'm lacking specific articles and lines of research, but charity seems to be better when it's establishing people on their own (teaching them a trade, providing them a global market for the goods they already produce, education, medical, etc.) than giving them a thing. We have to be careful when giving to others that we don't simultaneously diminish them. All of this is a balance, and the correct balance very much depends on the extent of the need and the existing capabilities and limitations of the people involved so no universal line can be drawn.
Agreed, but:

Animal customer = new Cat();

It makes it clear how the new object will be used. It does come up quite frequently, especially with Collection and List. Nobody was saying it is not verbose and can lead to boilerplate. The assertion is that when viewing a large code base, you are always sure of the type of value you are dealing with on a local level. If all of your objects are well defined, you don't even need to look at how the class is created (a billion getters and setters? irrelevant to the local function) as you only need to deal with the local function.

I think it is 2 fold.

1) People care about what is close to them. If you had to grieve for every tragedy around the globe you could literally never experience joy. It's callous but true.

2) France is unexpected. Like when the tsunami hit Asia, a massive outpouring of support was witnessed there as well. Bombings in the middle east are 'expected'. (not saying that is right, or even true for Beirut, just noting what I believe is the general sentiment)
That's a pretty reasonable "amount" of income inequality - the question is how it can be achieved. Income inequality has a tendency to increase because the people at the top of the system rig it to their advantage, which tends to further increase their advantages.
> the anomaly is that it "doesn't work" on him. The fact is that most people do occasionally buy things because of advertising, particularly targeted advertising.

I'm not so sure. It's quite a big claim to say online advertising is effective on "most" people. It's also quite possible that it's not, and that online advertisers are all chasing an anomalous minority population that is not yet ad-blind.
And so many of those benefit from getting access to capital gains instead if they get stock which many who are in the top bracket do.
AFAIK that's actually non-standard. Haskell and (more importantly, maybe) C++11 use the single-line arrow (->), as do Erlang and various ML dialects (interestingly, F# uses the single-line notation, too, while C# does not). Probably other languages as well.
Indulging the idea that is true, that would make the critics of manspreading guilty of picking on those with a medical condition, which seems like a rather abhorrent crime, by their own standards.

Being in the 50% tax bracket does not mean paying 50% of your income in taxes.
Well, to be exact, it's an open question whether they can be solved efficiently or not. The general assumption is that they can't, but it hasn't been proven yet.
I think people don't like how half (or more than half) of their "hard earned" income goes to the government. 20-30% seems more reasonable, because you get to keep most of what you earn.

So donating anything is elitist? Most things that are donated are things that someone else provides for a price, so you will always be "taking a job" from someone else.
What a wonderfully self-serving explanation. Here's an alternative one: hedge fund managers are shutting down their funds because people are waking up to the fact that hedge funds are a terrible investment. After the managers take their 2-and-20, hedge funds have lagged the market every year, in both market ups and downs. Funds are trying to slow the rush to the exits by slashing fees (http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/693d9b74-73f3-11e5-bdb1-e6e47...) to keep more people from going the way of CalPERS, but I don't think it's going to work. There's just too much freely-available evidence that hedge funds aren't worth the fees for what you get. Blaming the government as they turn off the lights is a handy way to get at least something positive out of it though.

I believe this use is a real overuse and is definitely abusing. Sure, use optional as a return type when clarity is needed, but otherwise don't do all of this when you could use a simple conditional ala:

String foo = defaultValue;
if (parameter != null && ...) {
foo = doAAndB(parameter);
}

fun aside, this is potentially exhibited in the video

if you watch the video one of the routes the original bolt takes loops back in on itself, right at the top of the frame

then it seems a second bolt follows that same loop, there is a momentary irradiance

if you watch the lower branches, some that had faded irradiate as well

possibly implying the original bolt may have lacked sufficient energy to reach the earth, but the second was able to piggy back on the original's expended effort

or it all could just be artifacts of the camera and its sensors

just such a cool video
Soup kitchens have the exact same risk. If those soup kitchens cook too much, they will drive restaurants out of business. Luckily, for both soup kitchens and programmers, this will never happen. There is more programming work to be done than programmers, and the markets aren't the same.

While it may be technically true that "Perl 6.0 released!" is an accurate headline if you define "Perl 6.0" as "the test suite for the 6.0 language version", I suspect that almost everyone reading that headline will expect to see a stable language implementation.

Given the reception to the past year's worth of discussion around "Get ready to party", it seems irresponsible to me to continue with these semantic distinctions, as they're lost on the intended audience.

> No, you could not. I can do it cheaper is distinct from I can do it for free.

No, its not. "I can do it for free" is an instance of "I can do it cheaper". Its quite possible for someone to have a non-negative (zero or positive) net utility from an act which gives someone else a net positive utility, so that the "price" they are willing to charge for that task is zero or even negative (that is, they are willing to pay for the opportunity.) That's no different than the variation in utilities between suppliers with a net negative utility who are willing to do the task for a variety of positive payments.

Kind of nice to hear that some countries have managed to set down borders without violence, even if the results wasn't satisfactory. I can imagine it would have been easy for Latvians to keep this an open issue until Soviet occupation rendered the point moot.
"However, it really needs to be repeated: austerity is only braindead if you insist on ever-increasing aggregate demand. If you are willing to accept stagnant or even decreasing aggregate demand (for whatever reason) then austerity is perfectly reasonable and perhaps a good choice."

I think the problem is that austerity advocates argue that that aggregate demand will increase in the face of austerity, when we know that doesn't happen. Austerity advocates then often bring up the theory that if debt is lower, then external actors will have more confidence in the country and interest rates will decline.

So while I agree with you that no one needs to be condescending, it is challenging to deal with the pro-austerity folks when they seem to be fact-challenged.

That sucks. Pretty sure France has strong surveillance laws and that still happened. If anything it proves that stronger surveillance doesn't stop terrorism.
Not sure what research you're talking about, but it's all about the paradox of choice. People hate making choices, so when in a supermarket or at a restaurant, confronted with the choice on "getting something to drink" for example, you often end up going for the familiar and seeing a brand on TV counts as familiar. This is also why the taste of Coca-Cola does not change or why Coca-Cola continuously does brand advertising, even though most people are already familiar with it - the brand advertising for Coca-Cola is not targeting the 30 or the 40 year olds, but rather the preadolescents and the adolescents that don't have a sense of familiarity yet.
The thing that always kills me on new Java projects is wading through these enormous hierarchies of folders full of interface classes just to find one actual line of implementation code. Of course, right after that one line of implementation code there's an invocation of some other interface class that then leads me on the next goose chase to find line 2. I think it's not so much a problem of verbosity as it is this sort of "Enterprise FizzBuzz" mentality that crept into Java over the years. Some of this IOC stuff gets so far out of hand that I feel like I'm in the House of Mirrors at the local carnival when I first start trying to walk through a new code base.
That's a pretty good guide.

Visual Studio gets a lot of guff for being laggy and resource intensive. But in my experience if you run Visual Studio out of the box it is pretty responsive, it is only after you add extensions (particularly Resharper) that it starts to feel worse.

Although disabling Code Lens (which seems to have a few bugs anyway) can definitely help if you want rock bottom resource usage. It is a wonderful feature if you work in teams (or just want to look at a specific piece of code's history).

I have a pair as well, but I think a distinction needs to be made between "not having your knees together" and "opening wide because fuck you I want 3 seats". The former is fine, the latter is rude.

Thanks. Looks good.
>>My duty is only to pay the minimum amount I am legally obliged to pay. Not one cent more.

How much you are obligated to pay is the point of contention. Ideally, everyone pays taxes proportional to the amount of benefit they get from public services, programs and infrastructure, so that those things can be maintained. The issue with tax-dodging is that it sidesteps this moral imperative by taking advantage of a legal loophole.
Just as an aside, white box testing (#2) shouldn't be used for testing contracts between your inner interfaces, but rather, your consumption of some external interface that is hard to set up.

As an example, I want to make sure that when I hit a REST API endpoint, I do all my logic and get a proper return value (black box testing), maybe that the state of some bit that I've already set up is correctly changed (say, the database, by then checking it as part of the test to ensure the thing I said should be written was written), but that I also send a server sent event (SSE) to connected clients indicating the change. I don't want to actually have to have opened up clients that conform to the SSE specification as part of my integ tests (because that's a pain), so instead, I'll just assert that the library call to send that event does indeed get called with the right thing. From there, I can test once, that the library call does indeed lead to an SSE being sent to the browser (and can even write a full environment integ test with Selenium or something), and from then on, my single system tests just assert that call is made when it's supposed to. I'm effectively integration testing without implementing/mocking a connected user to test SSEs.

Similar things can be useful when putting items onto external queues, making calls to foreign interfaces, etc. You should never make assertions about the path through your code a call takes in white box testing (because refactoring can change those, and you have increased your test burden for little reason), you should care about side effects you can't easily otherwise test.

You might be surprised about the complexity of what is being produced in those "Unicorns". If it were simple, it would have been created forty years ago.

It would also be interesting to compare the efforts made then with what it would take today to make as 4004-equivalent. It would certainly be much easier. Anyone in the field armed with the right tools care to hazard a guess?
My testicles are average in size, but as squats are part of my workout routine, they tend to get mushed by my legs.

I can't believe we're actually talking about this... Is this what feminism has become? Maybe I should just take my pants off to show the whole world what horrible, horrible oppression I'm facing at the hands of women. I know, I can call it being "body positive"!

Either that or I can continue to care, sit comfortably, and take solace in the fact that these women are ultimately making complete fools of themselves.
Spammer logic is basically human nature. You can't kill it with morality because a few self-interested actors are enough to spoil the soup. It's an inescapable arms race.

Can you cite "all Android devices affected"? Cannot find this particular quote in this or any other article. Also what bug report? I found this article and other articles cited, but no bug report from Google or the researcher as of yet.

The article does state "The vuln being in recent version of Chrome should work on all Android phones;" which is factually correct.

This is a "Chrome" bug in so much as the Chrome browser uses the V8 Javascript engine. However, this particular bug could have other consequences as it is stated in this article and others that the bug in fact occurs in the V8 Javascript Engine which is used in Nodejs, Mongo and others.

So, no, none of your comments sound reasonable.

The idea that advertising is a consumption tax is wrong. You don't use "cost-based pricing" in advertising (i.e., you don't decide how much to charge to make sure you are covering your costs of acquisition). You decide how much to spend on a given ad channel based on the average revenue you expect to get from a customer. There may be other important metrics like payback period -- or sometimes even less tangible things like the number of customers may be important if scale is an end in itself -- but in any case, rational people in charge of acquisition are making sure they are getting some benefit out of the ads at the optimal price that was set independently. If you start marking your price up beyond what people are willing to pay just because you want to make some ad channel effective, you'll see conversion drop and the channel will become _even more inneffective_.

I would argue that two companies with identical products -- one who acquires customers organically and one who acquires customers through advertising -- should set the same price. The first will have higher net margins but the other will enjoy more total profit if they are smart.
OK, I understand the value of hyperbole here and there, but calling this a supercomputer is akin to calling it a floodlight because its screen glows, or a space heater because its back gets slightly warm when charging.

The smallest/cheapest thing that can hyperbolicaly yet somewhat reasonably be called a supercomputer nowadays IMHO is a PC with several beefy GPUs.
So what I should change my mind about my opinions? I could say the same about your comment "Phew, dodged that one".

If you really think you're going to know me by reading my internet comments, well, that might be your problem too.

From a player perspective,
Zelda is harder due to:
--Larger world with set of objectives which must be completed in some order. IE: You need the bow, before you get the lance, before you get the ice wand. A program could endlessly wander in the wrong temple for centuries before it decided it exhausted the whole area. (Not to mention the hidden walls/areas).
++Mario levels are completed in a mostly linear fashion (ignoring the short cuts).

--Limited resources. Bombs, arrows, etc.
++Mario can always jump/squish, and fireballs are infinite.

--Game changes as items are acquired. A block may be liftable in phase3 of the game, but not in phase1/2. An area may drown you in phase1-4, but may be swimmable in phase5.
++Mario death is always death.

My number one reminder why Zelda would be harder is that temple where most of the walls/floors are bombable and drop you back to the bottom (except one). A computer learning without manual training of some sort would be very interesting to watch.
Mark, I am sure you know this, but I am posting this for the benefit of others who might not.

For literal maps, I tend to use double brace initialization style. It is more verbose than languages with direct literal support for maps and creates an extra anonymous class, but it keeps the map in a single syntactic construct. For lists, I use Arrays.asList(a,b,c) style; if you static import the method it reads nicely as-list-a-b-c.

Not at all, taxes should be used to make investments in the economy where the market fails, a government that spends wisely will grow its economy and thus its tax revenue without changing rates. A tax dodge is not unlike a government with lower tax rates.

If the taxes not paid creates increased growth then tax will simply be made up in the future.

Imagine two countries each with a $1000 economy, both have a 50% tax rate, but in one country every person 'dodges' 50% of their taxes, if that country grows its economy at say 3% instead of 2% then after 100 years two economies will be at $7,386.22, $20,068.17 thus the country with the tax dodgers will collect ~$5K in revenue while the other collects ~$3.5K
