>Since when functional programming is "radical"? It's the essence of computing.

It isn't representative of how processors work, unlike imperative programming. Even if the theory is there, the machine itself is imperative (most of the time), so there's a level of abstraction needed.

Though the theory could have started like that, the mechanisms are totally separated from the physical reality. In a field dominated by engineers (especially in a time where cycle counts mattered much more), that's what's going to happen.
> 7-Zip now can extract ext3 and ext4 (Linux file system) images.

> 7-Zip now can extract ext2 and multivolume VMDK images.

> 7-Zip now can extract GPT images and single file QCOW2, VMDK, VDI images.

These are seriously impressive features! I hope someone will build on top of them to improve ext4 support in Windows.

The ability to extract files from VM images without actually firing up a VM or using other convoluted tools is also going to be very useful to me.

I should have been less declaritive - I mean that the point of a justice system is to keep society running smoothly. There are all sorts of ways for this to be derailed, for-profit prisons being one of them.
I think that the significance is that this proposed law is a federal law. Instead of a random swatting being a matter of violation of some state or local law [1] that falls primarily to local law enforcement to investigate, it will be a federal crime and the FBI can get involved from the start. The FBI probably has a much better chance of catching the swatter than does some random local police force.

>But I'm skeptical about the "juice is bad" meme.

The problem is that people can't separate an unbalanced diet from the foods that are throwing them out of balance.

Juice is fine and great. Getting most of your calories from simple sugars like all too many people do (and like juice provides)is bad. Replacing sodas with fruit juice doesn't do much to make your diet better. You should balance your sugars, fats, and proteins.
I've lost 50 pounds in 2 years. The first 30 I did with diet alone in a year. I started by cutting out alcohol, pizza, and fast food. The last 20 I lost with exercise. I hired a personal trainer and trained twice a week and worked out an additional 3 days a week on my own.
The Black Friday Effect
I train Jujitsu and I also sit a a lot. One of the things that can make it a little harder to stay fit is muscle imbalances that can occur from constant sitting.

If your posture is out of balance it might be a little harder to keep an exercise routine if your body doesn't feel right.

I'm in really good shape but if I don't stay stretched out and limber all of that goes out the window. I would say a good start to staying fit is minimizing the determent that siting does on the body.
For most of their lives, Microsoft has been operating under the close supervision of the US Justice Dept (in the person of US District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly), and she said that the company had been "overwhelmingly cooperative". It's also had the European Commission on its back, trying to extract any fines it could possibly get. So, it's been obliged to play nicely enough to stay within the law, and it's had to pay heavily for any lapses.

For what it's worth (probably not much), Microsoft has also been on the list of the World’s Most Ethical Companies for the past five years running.

So, how bothered are you personally about any bad things companies may have done 15-20 years before you were born? How bothered do you expect them to be?
Ansible is a godsend.
This situation is absolutely abhorrent and a disgusting brutish display of power on behalf of the studios. This is the civil equivalent of shooting a gun at someone's feet and yelling, "dance monkey dance."

So everyone who defends copyright always uses the example of the small artist stopping a giant company from just using their work and calling it their own, because thats the only real substantial of damage in an IP liberated world that does not happen now (copyright is not effective in granting the rights holder a guaranteed distribution monopoly anymore).

Are IP holders getting revenue from large businesses paying them to use their IP, or are said businesses just having their legal teams verify that their clone is just right on the cusp of infringing so they can still reuse others work without credit but instead through exploit loopholes in the system they built?

Because we know very well that the largest utilization of copyright law today is to suppress the development of competitive products to existing media brands and content providers, especially online where the DMCA is an absolute policy of presumed guilt. I want to know where these perceived benefits even are, because they keep the discourse about how to fix copyright unproductive when half the people are defending it for... some reason?
Regardless of how you feel about additives, healthiness of juice or whatever, you should at least want your food labels to be honest and accurate. To me that's really what I take away from food posts about ingredients, GMOs, etc.

Martinelli's uses a very fine filter for their juice - some juicers don't filter their juice (often because they want it to help define their brand - as unfiltered and natural.) Having heard a lot of stories about food production in general - you should try to choose a manufacturer that you trust. (For any food product, not just apple juice.) There are an incredible number of things which must be monitored and which can (and do) go wrong.

> each airline has its own rules

exactly - "has rules". Very few actually enforce them. And while I don't know whether the aircraft industry agreed on some standard, my pretty huge, hard-case backpack always perfectly fits in. And most airlines have actually the same rules how large items may be to qualify as carry-on: Worldwide you see the same measuring cages at check-in counters or the gate and trolleys are advertised as "carry on compatible" - both would not be possible without a maybe unwritten but pretty well established standard.

Edit: And you of course are right about very small commuter planes - but they are, IMHO not really relevant in the discussion because they are used less and less due to economic disadvantages of making something airborne for just 50 people.

Apple Pay Launches in Canada
I bought a suit from indochino.com this year and was really happy with it. They are made to measure and start around $500. I don't know if I'd call it a great suit, but it fits pretty well, and is more than adequate for someone like me who wears a suit about once a year. The fit and quality are definitely better than anything I've owned in the past, or anything I've seen off the rack in that price range.

The customer service was also good. The first pair of pants didn't fit, which was probably due to a measuring mistake on my part. They took them back and remade them, no charge and no questions asked.
Considering Disney is at the helm of the copyright disaster train and are producing more blockbuster films each year than in their entire history (and now they have Star Wars coming out next month) I would say a lot of people don't give a shit about cultural ethics when it competes with the availability of John Williams scores.

The copyright mafia is also the gatekeepers on the consumer media empire. And those at the top are well lead to believe that copyright is meant to serve them, to make their business powerful and enforce their control of discourse and culture through it.

I mean, this case was about Microsoft. There have been dozens of documented incidents of Microsoft exploiting its power and law to their benefit over consumers, to crush competition, maintain and abuse monopoly, and manipulate discourse in their favor. Yet Windows remains king of the desktop, because there is no grassroots movement with any momentum to pressure OEM pc vendors that sell hardware in store to adopt anything else, and because Microsoft has successfully made a market of apathetic and inert users who do not understand the tools they use enough to see how they are being taken advantage of.

And that is billions of people. Those aren't the kind of folk to stop using Office or Outlook or Windows because of ethics. Same reason people flock in droves to Wal-Mart, Koch Industries, John Deere, BP and Exxon Mobil - ethics take a back seat to convenience and price, and we suffer in the long run by giving our agitators all the assets they need to get what they want willingly.
One of my favorite backwaters of technology is the work they did in the 50's and 60's with "cryotrons", which were essentially like superconducting transistors that switched by one superconductor temporarily destroying another's superconductivity. They apparently even made a working memory module out of them and provided it to the NSA before the transistor came along and changed everything.
So, anyone here crazy enough to try this?

How to trace and modify closed-source code
I think that Slack and IRC occupy separate spaces. One is optimal for random strangers on the internet, meeting, talking, and departing ad hoc. The other is designed for collaborative teams with a low turnover rate.

I'm in favor of keeping OSS on IRC for now, unless something else feels that space.
Agreed. I like to use Chef Solo, orchestrated by Karamel, to spin up stateful services (like databases, Hadoop, etc).

I think the big win if we get there will be using Docker to provide images and portability, chef (or puppet) for configuration, and something like Karamel to orchestrate and provide concise cluster definitions with GitHub as the artifact server.

Interesting cite, because Dr. McDougall would be a perfect example of someone who lets his dogmatism influence his research. Even from Wikipedia:

"Reviewing McDougall's book, The McDougall Program for Maximum Weight Loss, nutritionist Frederick J. Stare and epidemiologist Elizabeth Whelan criticized its restrictive regime and "poor advice", concluding that the diet's concepts were "extreme and out of keeping with nutritional reality".

The quotes you referenced were specifically talking about a ketogenic diet; not a high protein one per se. Ketogenic diets typically try to keep protein low-moderate, as protein is anti-ketogenic. Even still, or perhaps as a direct result of the protein, high protein keto diets still fare better: http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/87/1/44.abstract
Another angle to this is that there are agencies, who manipulate media and stir up controversies like these just to get attention for their clients' brands and products.[1]

I am wary of the "gosh look how cheap we can hire developers in $latest_broken_country_with_maths_education"

Managing teams across distance and cultures is hard and requires commitment - commitment that seems to vanish when hard things happen - remember when hiring programmers in Ukraine was a no-brainer? How many development teams got pink-slipped and how many got airlifted out with their families? Which one is showing the commitment ?

Somebody's nickname ≠ accurate description of their policy prescriptions.

All you've really done is recite the right-wing description of what you believe has happened to "the economy."

You haven't addressed what the better alternative was. If you are going to say, "let the economy collapse" let me ask you if you think economic collapse is really such a surefire prescription (in a nuclear age on top of that). If you think "stronger firms" emerge from collapsed societies, I guess maybe, but I'd really like you to provide some examples.

Also, before going further, you haven't really identified any of the mechanisms through which things are being "siphoned." The wealthy people are actually the ones trying to get the banks to raise rates again, they want their interest income back, so if it's being siphoned off to them, it's not what their advocating for.

The whole problem with your thesis is that it rests on assumptions that some things are implicitly bad and morally wrong, as if reality is so black and white.

I know I'm being a cynical ass, but I flat out do not believe that they have no incentive to integrate Pocket. Maybe it's not financial, but it has to be something.

There's a lot of hate around pocket, and it provides a cool, but simple feature. Yet I haven't heard anyone who loves it and actively wants it. The best I've heard is "yeah, it's OK", even online. I don't know why they would push so hard for a product that there's so much hatred for, and nobody rooting for, whey they could just say "Wow, OK. Guess you guys don't want it. We're scrapping it". It's far from a killer feature, so who's it for?

The problem is this, he is trying to solve problems with the same thinking that went to build Microsoft and make him a billionaire. These problems have to be solved with a different type of thinking than the ones that caused rivals to Microsoft to go out of business and cause people to lose their jobs and go into poverty.

Public education has a problem where most students are poor and suffer emotional and psychological issues that make it hard to study and focus on work. Many have broken homes and dysfunctional families. You can't just throw money at a problem like that and expect it to be solved. Not unless you are using the money to make sure those families are no longer poor and have money to raise them to a middle class income. But you can't just pay them money, you have to create jobs they can work for that pays them the money.

With Microsoft they earn money by automating things that eliminate jobs, and people enter poverty when their jobs are eliminated and they aren't qualified for any other sort of work. So you'd have to set up an education for the student's parents to get them better jobs so they can get out of poverty.
