Would you be so calm if someone hired a PI to spy on you, then mailed photoshopped pictures and faked evidence to every potential employer claiming you were a child molester?

There is definitely the potential to chill free speech and we need to be careful; however there is also such thing as harassment.

We need to figure out where the line is, then task a department in the FBI with enforcing it. If even 1% of the people trolling, harassing, and doxxing people were put in prison it would immediately evicerate most of those movements as the scaredy cats abandoned ship. It's one thing to harass someone across the country for free with no consequences. It's quite another to face jail time (even if it's 2 weeks served on weekends).
The article is not questioning the "theory", the identified problem is the teaching at undergraduate level. As it was/is commonly taught, it is neither pure nor applied. Rather it is categorisations and tricks, little of which has any practical value.

As a body of work Differential equations are so messy that theorists landed on so many disparate results. As such Differential equations courses are commonly taught as a "survey of the land" type of courses, so they tend to be incoherent. On the other hand if the teaching focused on practicality there is a lot of commonality among the practical cases.
Client code relying on the fact that your class implements that interface when it wasn't intentional and might change perhaps?
You would think that... But at $10k per room for video conferencing, it was a disaster half the time, phantom calls, all kind of problems. I can't tell you how many times we just put my laptop at the end of the table and fired up Skype or a Google Hangout. We've pretty much abandoned Skype for anything and use Hangouts when we need group video, otherwise it's just FaceTime.

I'll be happy to see how Slack integrates voice/video. If the quality is 80% of Hangouts and the experience is better, I'll take it.
Am I the only one who remembers when $70 was cheap for anything development related? Either it's good enough to save you 5-10 minutes a day where it's obviously worth $70 or it's not, and isn't worth any price (well maybe a dollar or two if you are, say, a collector of git clients).
The fourth amendment specifically requires a warrant to violate someone's privacy. In all of the cases at hand a warrant has been issued.

There really isn't a fourth amendment issue.
They don't exclude men. The ability to get LEO to give a crap varied by jurisdiction but plenty of guys have managed to get consequences enforced on their male or female harassers.

Mostly I think it's a result of the average LEO/judge being older and having no clue what the consequences are of the ongoing harassment. It's definitely true that lots of judges/prosecutors have told people to "just get off the internet".

The Holy Grail Called Immutable Infrastructure
I've only written Haskell, but I'll try to give a fair shakedown from my perspective:

+ OCaml is eagerly evaluated while Haskell is lazily evaluated. This makes it easier to reason about things like memory use in OCaml.

+ IO is reflected in the type signature of Haskell functions. You may find this annoying because it stinks to have to change a lot of type signatures just because, e.g., you want one of your utility functions to make a log entry when called.

On the other hand, IO is often a huge deal either semantically or from a performance perspective. For big projects having IO reflected in the type system can be a huge help.

+ The ecosystems are different. Haskell's is bigger, though I've heard the quality of OCaml libraries tends to be very high.
Try to keep up. The OP stated "and one would also want to accurately assess whether non-women are also expected not to be rude".

I find this concept questionable. There is a difference between someone who is legitimately stalking someone who very clearly does not want to be followed around (and they are aware of this!), and someone who is being really, really awkward (but totally unaware of the pain they are causing).

What would you suggest the socially awkward person who doesn't understand that they're stalking do? You can't simply wish people were more socially self-aware, and to do so ignores a very large population of people who have trouble with social situations for reasons beyond their control.
You while it makes things easier you don't need to have a source code to break protections.

Crackers broke copy protections for decades without having access to source code of protected games.

The only thing you would need is to have access to private key needed to sign the new code so that phone will accept it, but even that could be broken by hardware engineer.

Anyway the whole thing does not make much sense. Those shooters are already dead, they destroyed their private phones, this was a work phone, they already can access metadata (outgoing/incoming calls etc) from cell provider. FBI went public with this even though in their best interest would be to do it secretly. What does FBI expect in doing this publicly? Did they expect is to cheer for them and complain about evil Apple not helping to break evil terrorists' phone?

It doesn't make much sense... unless the real goal was to make people trust Apple more after Snowden's disclosures. Isn't interesting that Google, Facebook, Microsoft... every company which was previously involved in PRISM supporting Apple? Trusting them benefits both, the agencies and those corporations.

Had to deal with a program recently that gave "corrupted MAC" error on the server. All searching etc hinted at it being a network issue. Only after having fiddled with the network for ages and getting nowhere did i set up a loopback test and found the same error.

Turns out the program i was dealing with was using an old lib.

Yeah, this is an important question. I don't have answer for you and neither do the people in charge of the fetch API. It's an issue with promises not being cancelable. There's probably a reasonable argument that promises just aren't that great because you can only resolve or reject.

Personally I don't see a huge problem with either resolving or rejecting with a message about the cause of the result. Others see it differently but they haven't been able to make any progress on a major problem.

If you want to avoid this altogether there's no reason why you can't use a different library.

I couldn't agree with the last point more.

> A course taught as a bag of tricks is devoid of educational value. One year later, the students will forget the tricks, most of which are useless anyway. The bag of tricks mentality is, in my opinion, a defeatist mentality...In an elementary course in differential equations, students should learn a few basic concepts that they will remember for the rest of their lives...

I hated the DE cleass I took in college and it was largely because I felt like it was nothing but a bag of tricks. I very distinctly remember one problem that seemed unsolvable until the teacher showed that you had to substitute a "2" with "1/2 + 3/2". And then, to make matters worse, he put the exact same problem on the test. So we were being rewarded, not for really understanding the core basic concepts, but for memorizing the tricks needed to solve specific problems.

I took, we called it Diff-e-q, my freshman year in college and the professor died a couple weeks into the course and the new guy was not pleased about having to teach it. We did the applied aspects with the springs and the little ants running away from a candle heating the corner of a plate.

What I didn't like about it was just all the memorization. I had no desire to memorize a bunch of formulas that I knew full well in the real world I'd look up in a table or type into a computer. What I wanted to learn how to do was solve problems using math, not memorize patterns of formulas to apply to problems.

So I didn't memorize them and instead went to work and earned money to pay for college. Still passed the class but it was one of my lowest grades. It's a hard class even without the memorization.

I remain stunned the authors don't do mailing lists. There are a handful of authors that I will purchase everything they write. Until goodreads, there was no real way for them to notify me to buy something from them. And even now goodreads isn't particularly efficient about it.

I really think they would benefit from asking fans to sign up for an announcements list that is just announcements of new work. Plus it gives them the ability to sell smaller works published via kindle to their fans to pad out the gaps between full books.
I would probably sue them. I wouldn't expect the police to try to figure out where the truth of a private spat lies, even if it's rally nasty and one of the parties actually is actually acting like an asshole. Cops aren't actually that good at resolving complicated factual claims & counterclaims. They especially don't like it.

Open the door to police investigation of such disputes and you will have cause to regret it. You think the "trolls" you are so concerned about are above faking such a harassment case and filing the same charges against you? Are you really confident the cops are going to use their inestimable judgment and come to the right conclusion?

A reliable runtime is listed in the three main benefits of using Go. Are the runtimes for the alternatives really any less reliable?

I can buy that the language is easy to learn since the feature set is very limited, but is productivity in the first week/month really what to optimise for?

They also list performance as a benefit.

Go is a reasonable choice, but I doubt that the result would have been much different if they'd used any other modern statically typed language such as Rust, Scala, D, or even Nim.

I'm often laughed at when I suggest it, but I think the publishing world needs to look at what's happening with free to play games.

You remove the barrier to entry so that as many people as possible will try your product (free).

You identify those people who really enjoy your book and want to consume more of the same.

You provide them with so much content that they can spend as must as they like.

It's not unreasonable for people to spend 100's of dollars a month enjoying their favorite pastimes.

It's not impossible at all. try/catch in the non-throwing case is fast in both Firefox (SpiderMonkey) and IE (Chakra); I'm not sure what the state of things is in Safari (JavaScriptCore). In the throwing case you obviously have to do some work, but as long as that case is rare it's not a problem. Contrast with the V8 situation (which they are fixing), where simply having a try/catch in your function at all will deoptimize the function, even if an exception is never actually thrown.

Oh, and one optimization strategy for try catch is even pretty simple to describe in general terms: you need a cheap way to check whether an exception is thrown, and then after every operation that can throw (e.g. a call into the vm to a function that is allowed to throw) you check whether it did. If not, you just move along. If it did, you jump to an out of line path that does cleanup and callstack unwinding. The devil, as usual, is in the details.

I tried this today. Pretty okay. A bit light on features, but it has the most important ones.

However, it kept on creating temporary files (copies of the files I staged), and they showed up as stageable files. Very confusing.

There also needs to be an option to truncate file paths in the staging area box. Middle truncation that responds to the box width, or an option to only show the file names, because right now file names are just completely unreadable.

Also, there are stage hunk buttons, but no discard hunk buttons.

Configurable diff font size too.

I'll be still using SourceTree for now (even though they had that catastrophic broken release last week).

Performance is a lot better than SourceTree though, which can be a real dog sometimes. It's definitely showing that Electron is a viable choice to make desktop apps.

Any oscillating electric current transmits magnetic waves of a certain strength. Certain oscillations at particular frequencies represent radio waves. At lower frequencies, one might merely act directly upon the magnetic transducers of a poorly-shielded audio speaker, creating sounds at volumes and within ranges audible to humans.

Any segment of electric wire, carrying a current that can change direction, might be used to this effect. Stronger electrical activity over a bigger, better wire has higher chance of sending a signal that can be detected.

On issue #1, we're going to update the language around this in our control panel and put together better documentation. In reality, having MX records are important to allow for sender address verification [1], which many SMTP servers require.

On issue #2, Thanks and apologies for the slow response, This ticket slipped under our radar.

To give you a quick answer: we'll look into the approach you described in your blog post as well as RFC 6376. It seems legit but we'll need to do some more testing to ensure that deliverability does not suffer due to changing how we sign messages. If deliverability does suffer, we can always make this something that is an optional security setting that can be toggled, like how you can enable and disable TLS certificate validation now.

Our security engineer will take a look and reach out to you with more details in the ticket.

Right, which is why you let them go if they don't hit quota. What they do is the most measurable part of the acquisition funnel. Laying off a large group of them speaks to financial issues/improper planning vs. just regular weeding out if poor performers.
Modern wood stoves are sealed to the inside and have vents to pull air in from outside the house via vacuum created by the heat pushing the air out through a vent to the outside as well.

You'll easily pay $800 for one of these stoves, used -- in the summer. Which is why I was saying that you can just use an inflation calculator to figure out how much things cost today relative to yesterday. We have better technology, more building codes to follow, and more things to buy.

Life does cost more today than it did back then, more than inflation can account for.
Good questions. At this point, we're trying to identify user value with prototypes. We're a long way away from defining things like the software update model on as-yet-unspecified devices.
