I'm not sure if you are being disingenuous with me or you just haven't thought out your argument.

You are essentially claiming that a person's rights aren't violated because they still have a choice between expressing a concept in code or losing their livelihood. This is analagous to saying that a person's fifth amendment rights are not violated because they have a choice between answering questions and going to jail. This is the precise definition of coercion, which is exactly what the US government is forbidden to do except in very limited circumstances.

Furthermore, their employer is not the government so the ultimatum does not exist without coercion. Their manager is a human being who is forced to give them orders or fire them, which is again a first amendment violation. They get their orders from their manager, who was coerced, etc.
There was never a problem with developing new technology. It was the outrageous dissembling and secrecy around the Knowledge Engine that has caused this problem.

You cannot go into an organization with such an extreme ethos around transparency and openness as the WMF and get away with secretly coming up with a plan to compete against Google. That's what was done, and I don't care who on the Board say it wasn't ever a plan to compete against Google with a search engine made by the WMF: that was the plan cooked up by Damon, and I'm certain Lila kept going with it, even when Damon left.

> On one hand a court decision would solve it once and for all on the other hand who the hell are we gonna find that A) is actually qualified to judge this sort of thing

In the US, any federal judge in a court where venue is appropriate for whatever claim is filed. Apply the derived works rule in copyright law is certainly something they are qualified to do.

> B) doesn't have a vested interest in one way or another.

Same answer as above.

> On the gripping hand it wouldn't actually solve anything because lawyers will continually argue that this case isn't covered by that precedent.

While perhaps it will remain unsettled in a particularly strained binary sense in that someone, somewhere will be willing to argue against it -- in that sense, nothing is ever settled -- there is such a thing as fairly settled areas of law covered by fairly clear precedent where actors in the market generally do accept the existence of certain rules without challenging them, because the low probability of success in a challenge isn't worth the cost of challenging the rule. (Pretty much the only places where precedential decisions have only a weak effect on settling things is highly politically salient cases where opponents of the decision have a significant role on the judicial selection process, so a constant flow of cases seeking -- with some hope of success -- to overturn the existing rules are generated. But, even then, it usually requires actors with virtually unlimited supplies of other people's money (such as US states) on the side seeking to overturn the rules to keep up the flow; one place you see this is in the area of abortion rights. But I don't really see a major political party having a key constituency that is as concerned with any position on derived works rules as the "pro-life" movement is on restricting abortion.)
Great recommendation - go to the experts when looking for new material.

Apple supports in-app purchase of subscriptions, so you can still use the standard App-store tools to handle recurring billing.
Right, but the question here is of the obvious short-term marketing benefit, which to me is not that obvious. I think that in the short term Apple has more to lose financially by not aiding the FBI in an emotionally-charged request than if they had silently complied, particularly if they end up losing the case.

That was confusing. The second “client” means “a company for whom I did programming work”. Their environment doesn’t support HTTP/2 directly, so I wrote this standalone tool.

Every safe would have a replaceable locking/fire-setting mechanism with a part, machined to uniquely fit that particular safe, and stamped with the builder's guarantee of security.

The important points are these: the mechanism-replacement machine wouldn't be limited to that one safe, and the technician won't install it unless Apple Safes said that it had the same level of security after the alteration. This isn't cracking one safe; it's developing (easily redistributable) instructions for cracking all the safes of that model and marking the modified mechanisms as unmodified, against their will.

If you need to iterate over the items you can just use "with_items" or "with_subelements" (http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/playbooks_loops.html#looping...) and the "{{ item }}_12345"

If you need a list for a template you can always loop it in the template and access the sublements there and template them as you wish.

One of the strong points of Ansible is that it can be read very easily. The moment you do:

"{{ important_files | map(attribute='file_name') | list | map('regex_replace','(.*)','\\1_{{ file_suffix }}') | list }}"

you throw it away.
I think all concerned (executives, lawyers, engineers) were simply trying to do the right thing by our source base, Sun's customers and the budding OpenSolaris community -- we really weren't trying to placate (or alienate) the Linux community, and didn't really factor in how the Linux community perceived its own license.

As for OpenSolaris, there were a couple of constraints with respect to the GPL: first, we didn't want to dual license (i.e., GPL + something else), because that was a mess that could lead to a license-based fork -- something we definitely wanted to avoid. Second, there was great concern about simply using the GPL because of exactly the ambiguity that's highlighted here: in 2005, we had many independent hardware vendors that had entirely proprietary Solaris drivers -- it was important to us that those be allowed to stay proprietary. We all liked the BSD license, but we also liked the idea of a weak copyleft -- and in that regard, the license that best captured what we were after was the MPL, despite some (minor) issues too that needed to be cleaned up. In the end, this is what we did (the CDDL is really just a cleaned up MPL) -- but (to be clear, and for what feels like the millionth time) we did it because of what we were trying to do for our own software and community, not because we were somehow trying to punish Linux.

As I've said before, one of my most vivid memories of the whole process was immediately after we launched OpenSolaris, standing in the conference room where we had just hit the carriage return, chatting with Chris Nadan from Sun Legal. We were both wondering aloud how long it would take for DTrace to show up in Linux -- but not from the perspective of license compatibility: we both accepted as a given that Linux would either view the licenses as compatible enough or wouldn't care about any incompatibility (after all, this is years after NVIDIA's binary drivers). Our only discussion was how much members of the Linux community would care about DTrace and how difficult the port would be technically. I remember saying that "maybe it will be two months, and maybe as long as two years." Of course, it was only a month or so later that SystemTap emerged from Red Hat -- and it became clear that Not-Invented-Here Syndrome would prove to be a much stronger force than any technical desire to assimilate DTrace or ZFS into Linux...
This is not at all true. The needs of Servo have had a huge impact on the development of the Rust language. The Rust team prioritizes feedback from Rust users, the largest of which (larger than rustc itself) is currently Servo.
Federighi said on Gruber's podcast that the Dock team completely rewrote Dock in Swift. However most of the other OS X teams are only testing the waters. A big part of it is lack of 32-bit support for Swift apps.
Sorry, I did not quite get what you mean.

Of course macro+syntax extension got absolutely nothing to do with what you can achieve in a language without macros.

And, no, you did not understand. Any custom syntax you're adding (if the right tools are used, like mine, for example) would automatically become available for your IDE and all the other tools, because they're reusing the same compiler front-end.
Maybe Microsoft would like the precedent set in favor of Apple so they can use it against overly intrusive requests for back doors in their products in the future. They may have acquiesced but that doesn't mean they liked it.

So in 1.2, Deployment API facilitates the transition from state to state for an RC or a pod. This provides a basic form of revision history, but isn't "versioning" - it's more if you could only go back one step.

For us, we see the big use case for full deployment versioning when there are multiple kube objects and config files to track. Already this is introducing some complication into developer workflows - ex: I have a bunch of services, rc's, and secrets. They are parameterized by this configuration. Now I've updated the configuration. I want to propagate that configuration to my cluster "with no downtime” - right now there isn't an easy way to do this.
The intent of KeePass is generally to let it generate sufficiently strong passwords for you, and a way to store those passwords. It's probably a bad idea to store passwords you've devised in it, because then you're not getting any additional security.

I wasn't expressing concern about the position, I was explaining why it would be a bad decision to privatize it. None of the things I listed mention anything about it being "dangerous" or "risky" One of the biggest arguments against privatization, I think, is that they're responsible for enforcing building fire codes, and that's a very non-dangerous task.

Yeah, in my experience the problem is not about Google ignoring search keywords. It is just that their recent updates made it much less apparent that what I'm looking for is not in their index. Their new algorithm seems to drop keywords until it can show me some results that are barely relevant and makes me think that I have to keep tweaking my keywords until I can find what I'm looking for, even if it doesn't exist on the web.
It depends. They're calculated hourly. Right place right time...could be just a couple dozen. Books sell less copies than people think.

I have historically done my own transcription for closed captions on my company's YouTube videos (we have a policy to never post a video without captions, as accessibility matters to us), but recently started outsourcing it to a friend on fiverr. We're close and she knows my accent well, and hears me talk about the subjects of the videos now and then, but even she has to verify some stuff with me along the way. I don't have an exact number for errors, or how often she has to verify words and phrases with me, but it's higher than I would have expected.

I also recall when I worked in television, we'd have someone come in to do captions for the Rockets basketball games...they made a lot of mistakes. Maybe every other sentence had a mistake in it. Partly this was the speed at which they had to type (using a Stenotype style device with chording keyboard), but I suspect they were also mis-hearing things quite often.

In particular, technical terms (whether for computers or basketball) are elusive if you don't speak the language. "WYSIWYG" was a tricky one, in one of my videos.

So working in finance I got a letter like this. It included helpful donation levels like:

* Double level pointy hair boss: $10,000 a year

I can't remember exact numbers but was that ballpark.. what they asked for the normal guy making 100k was small, what they wanted form the double pointy boss making 300k was a lot more.

I'm sorry, but you could not be more wrong. Even in the "conventional" Marine Corps infantry, we were not trained to ignore any problem. We were constantly being taught to take over the job of our superiors at a moment's notice.

Your comment (and its sibling) substantially agree with what I wrote - there isn't absolutely unbreakable cryptography, only reasonably secure. Therefore the parent doesn't make sense.

Now, is a cryptography that can't be broken by anyone except maybe (that hasn't even happened yet) through a specific court order signed by a judge, reasonably secure? I think it qualifies as such. If you need even more security, I'm sure you can use specialized software to achieve it - I'm not saying you shouldn't be allowed to.

Hey! Very simply, Kubernetes puts containers on servers. It takes care of a lot of logic around scheduling, networking, health checks (i.e. what happens if a pod goes down).

When I moved to the Bay Area I got a little (not terribly priced!) studio apartment walking distance from downtown San Jose. As you say it certainly is no Big City downtown district like SF, but I must say I feel very happy with the decision - there are quite a few good places packed into the small downtown that I can just walk to whenever I feel like it, and the light rail is right there to take me to work. Having a reason to walk every day is actually great, I far prefer it to being stuck in traffic instead. I don't even have a car, but just using buses+light rail+caltrain has worked really quite well thus far for the times I want to go to nearby towns/SF.
