No, you are trying to move the goalpost.

You try to move away from "hiding money destroy wealth" and establish the ground to go to something like "printing money steals value". It is absolutely NOT the same thing.

I explained your logic was erroneous. Hiding money away does not destroy wealth.

By the way, printing money doesn't destroy wealth either, it transfers it. You can argue that it's evil all you want (and I would agree), but that's NOT the same thing as saying that destroying money destroys wealth.
Now it's too late, but unlike Brainfuck, Google did consider C# as an option, see my comment (sibling comment to yours)
Well if that is so there shouldn't be any social incentives to encourage procreation, but every society in the world values procreation heavily, most traditional societies ostracize people who can't procreate. If biological insticts were enough why social incentives/ostracization. How do you explain the social stigma of being childless.
"null != variable" will confuse people is downright silly. People confused by this won't have an inkling of what any non-hello-world program does.

I feel this is one of those things someone new might get confused about the first time they read it. After that, no. IOW, understanding this is part of learning and once it is learned, it is OK.

Original author of the story here... Just to add that 1. yes, the reporting on Le Roux's childhood is more tentative based on a family source (well backed up by docs and images sent to me). But the fact that the same Le Roux created E4M which formed the basis of TrueCrypt is something I think I've established definitively, company and site registration trails show it very firmly (and PLR himself admits it in court, but that comes in a later part of my story). And 2. for the _very_ interested, TC is actually just a small part of Le Roux's story, of which we've released three of seven parts (weekly on Thursdays). I know, TL;DR, it's a lot.

Interestingly enough the person the article about was convinced and jailed for making GET requests on publicly available websites, because he knew he did not have permission to access them.

I think a print server at a university is pretty obviously not fair game. If you forget to lock up your business overnight and someone walks in and prints off a couple thousand pages using your printer it's definitely illegal.
That is tragic. I'm such a huge fan of SoundCloud - I even pay for a pro account, even though I don't post that much audio, just to give them $$ - but ... sigh. These are not good problems.

And here I thought their Roshi library looked pretty good. Maybe the talent is all on the backend there.
> And, through all of this, Spotify & SoundCloud are paying a huge chunk of their mobile revenue directly to their competitors (Apple/Google stores).

I'm not so sure they are. By charging a higher price ($12.99 in app vs. $9.99 on web), I wonder if people really are paying the higher price just for convenience. I'm definitely not.

Tidal is currently doing the same with their pricing structure.

Only because this is how people are traditionally taught to think. This can be untaught easily enough.

If you hadn't written this, I would have dismissed this article after reading the first two paragraphs. Thank you.

> but there are many apps which just don't fit particularly well into a document

I think hard but maybe because I've been working on a CRUD web-app for so long, I can't come up with any examples other than demos/games and then, I doubt any reasonable person would expect them to run without running any code client-side. I even went through some random selection on my bookmarks and 99% of them were documents with some interactivity. Most of the exceptions were document editors, and I think even they could, if the developer felt masochistic, fall back to text boxes and buttons.

I sincerely hope that's not my lack of imagination.
This seems like a case of someone going out of their way to get morally outraged. The argument is that sites want to be able to censor comments made about their content on a third party platform. How is this any different than censoring comments made here or on Reddit?
I do that in my program - compare lengths first. There's also an interesting comment there by a reader about how filecmp (which can do the job) uses stat info with a cache.

...that illustrates the difference between knowledge and wisdom very well. Soya has a number of wise observations and recommendations that apply in enterprise software projects today. I've seen the same arguments. Just usually not that many at once given the narrow scope of any given enterprise tech.

He's definitely made me consider the Single-Level Store a weakness until proven otherwise. His argument that the customers saw no benefit except the performance tradeoff is disturbing and probably still applies a lot. I mean, the ability to avoid crashes, hacks, much technical debt, and many failed integrations with high-level machine are huge enablers. All people cared about was price for raw performance ratio, though.

Interestingly, I've been thinking similar to him on a number of angles as I look at these new projects. It's why I pushed CHERI processor over SAFE despite liking SAFE more. It's because CHERI is compatible with FreeBSD and MIPS while probably having less overhead. It's also why I pushed Java processors like JOP or Vega3 over another Secure Ada Target (or even Rust target) for embedded or enterprise servers. Python runtime or machine over LISP. And so on.

Time shows the path of least resistance with greatest performance and legacy integration must be taken. So, anyone wanting high-reliability or high-security has to work in a box. That's been rained on continuously for decades. ;)
I don't think there is a lot of embedded Java left.
That was a good read, I think the thoughtfulness behind their deliberation was great.

Heat pumps aren't usually called electric heaters though. Electric heaters are usually considered to be devices that generate heat by consuming electricity, not devices that transfer heat. In any case a heat pump obviously falls into the category of a device that transmits energy to a different location, which my comment excluded.

> Things like mental and physical health, addictions and substance use, thought manipulation and mind control, the fears and desires, sexual fantasies, even popular movies and music affect the economy greatly.

> To conclude, I think regulators should look at all these factors much deeper, determine the connection between mind and economy and exercise their influence by tuning other parts of society, not just traditional economic levers.

Can you clarify? I'm probably just misreading you, but it sounds like you're implying that we should be "regulating" culture -- or even thought itself ("thought manipulation and mind control") -- in order to improve the economy. Just wanted to make sure I was reading that correctly.

If that is what you meant, could you give some kind of hypothetical example? Would this be like banning certain themes because they cause social unrest? Requiring shows to carry certain messages? Eliminating styles of music that lead to "unproductive" activities? Bonuses for creators of films that cause a jump in profits? I'm legitimately baffled.

This immediately made me think of the Sting song "Straight to my Heart", and the 'sex' scene in "Demolition Man". I'm sure there are other examples.

I suspect that if sex/ sexuality were not in such an odd cultural space, ideas like this would either rarely arise, or at least never raise an eyebrow.

Also it seems to me it's pretty important that he is not affiliated with the school. If a crazy person comes onto your campus and starts screaming racist profanity at your students it's certainly your right to have them removed. If one of your students does so then you have an entirely different responsibility as an administrator because teaching students to be better is your job, and the actions of your students reflect upon your school.
Absolutely excellent reporting and writing. I'll start reading the other 2 parts now.
Without providing close to 100% interoperability, replacing Java with another language would be insane. All the open-source third party libraries for Android (and there's plenty, and many of them have become the de facto industry standard), all of that goes out of the window.

Pytest and Parametrization
You've posted this twice in this thread now. How is a slow decline in birth rate, to slightly below what's needed to replace people as they die, evidence that people prefer technological intervention in conception? It looks like a complete non-sequitur to me.
The article is overwhelmingly about the life and background of Paul. That's really the scoop here from the author's perspective, the fact that he happened to be the TrueCrypt founder is sort of an interesting aside (though also the reason anyone really cares to read about Paul's life).

edit: and the article author just posted on this comment thread saying the article(s) are more about Paul, not really specifically focusing on his connection to TrueCrypt.
I used to joke that slackers should specialize in AS/400 "repair" with revenue coming from support and maintenance contracts. I predicted it would be a really easy job. Just regularly run reports or something to hand management to justify your salary. Take credit for the uptimes. And so on. :)

"though running a Linux VM/partition/etc is more for sheer fun of it than work."

I thought that was to get benefits of modern stacks running side-by-side with legacy OS/400 apps. You don't use it that way? And while we're at it, did they ever provide an easy, machine-usable interface between those instead of a web app simulating a terminal typing individual characters in like some mainframe places do? That seemed kind of ridiculous.

Am i correct in assuming that getting peer reviewed binds you to their terms, one of which must be to disallow other means of distribution?

I know at uni, our tutors told us to politely email researchers for a copy in case our subscription didn't cover their research. I didn't bother with this as booksc (libgen) and sci-hub are faster.

You can either charge the author customer, which is what open access does, or charge the reader customer, which is what non open access does. Insisting that the reader customer not pay just increases the costs elsewhere.

If the benefits of open access are considered to be worth more than the amount lost by not charging for access, then you need to fund that from elsewhere. If every grant costs an extra $2,000, there will be less grants, it's just math.

(Previously I was told that the cost is minuscule compared to the cost of the study itself in general, in which it won't have a large effect. But I haven't seen data.)

If we decide we want the government to also pay the cost of publication, as opposed to having readers pay, great. But it might be expensive, again, data would be helpful.

Blanket statements like "taxpayers paid for it, therefore it should be open" ignore the reality that publishers subsidize publication precisely because they charge for access.

This is evolution by process of elimination, and unfortunetaly elimination means lack of breeding from disadvantaged phenotypes. We've largely uncoupled reproduction from evolutionary advantages anyway, and just like humans are so dedicated to controlling the world in they inhabit, we'll insist on controlling the finest details of reproduction too.
Even if you have a bespoke baby, it's still requires the couples' genetic material... And someone has to carry that thing to term. No one's invented a Ronco Gestation Appliance to sit on your kitchen counter yet - I believe that would cause a serious disconnect with human reproduction. As long as the parents start pumping out the hormones during the pregnancy, there really isn't an issue. But you could always make a pill for that...
Yes, you probably are. There may not be much technical difference between your hypothetical GET and PRINT requests, but the law generally isn't written or interpreted by technically minded people.

Think of it this way. It is reasonable to assume that a server which responds to http requests on the internet is intended for public browsing. However, a printer that responds to un-authenticated job requests over the internet much more likely to be a configuration error, then intended for public use.
> Actually it is.

Specifically what law did he break?

If someone leaves you a voicemail with a message you don't agree with, is that a crime?

If someone sends you a fax with the same message, is that a crime? [1]

If someone sends you an email with the same message, is that a crime?

If you connect a printer to the internet and someone sends the printer a document with the same message, is that a crime?

I'm sure someone can find a way to apply the CFAA to this, but at the end of the day a printer is not a house. A printer connected to the internet is a server that turns files into paper documents. If you don't want people using your printer, don't place it on the internet with zero authentication or access controls.

[1] advertisements are illegal, not sure about arbitrary messages.
I doubt Apple forced anything. Soundcloud has been working on this for literally 18 months. the only thing holding on was the Sony deal.

Dubset is doing a great job product wise. Really well done, unfortunately they coverage of licensing is really limited. They sort of jumped ahead and sold the platform before closing at least 50% of the deals (see for instance completely absence of the Merlin catalog).

Soundcloud has been always open, but struggled a lot in having a communication channel with their users. Seams getting better lately. Finger crossed!

If it is an issue I'll consider that, although that's another cord limiting range of motion. There's a good chance I'll be able to handle it for short periods of time (less than an hour) without too many problems. I'm more worried about down the line when my neck is likely to get worse.

I've recently watched some films from the 1950s, and sex then was so incredibly different from the 1990s it's astonishing and disorienting. I don't think the timeline is unrealistic. John Paul II's theology of the body is the only cogently and fully articulated philosophical opponent to this development (that I know about) and most Catholics have never heard of it.
Co-author here: over the last year we've written a sizable book on Angular 2 and we wrote the book on Angular 1 before that. Now we've turned our attention to React and the idea is that we're showing how all of the pieces fit together.

I've been here at HN long enough to know that a few of you might take issue at our pitch of learning React "The Right Way". Obviously there are many, many opinions on how to write React apps and there are many good ways to approach React.

But I think a large part of so-called Javascript fatigue comes from the fear of being wrong.

Because React is so modular there are tons of different modules for every idea. "Awesome" lists are egalitarian and often put libraries of vastly different popularity and stability right next to each other. In most cases the community has already gathered behind one or two libraries, but it takes a lot of research to figure out which one (and it's especially hard if you're a beginner).

What we're offering here is a well-researched, coherent, code-packed resource. We'll tell you which libraries to use and how to use them and you won't have to piece together hundreds of blog posts. We've kept our books on Angular up-to-date for years now and we're planning on doing the same for this React book.

Someone wrote a post a while back about this topic and called it the grep test. See: http://jamie-wong.com/2013/07/12/grep-test/

It's funny that you mention the Java ecosystem as one of the worst offenders, since the nature of the language itself and the culture around best practices in the early days should have put it in a particularly favorable position here. This is covered partly in another great post titled "Java for Everything": http://www.teamten.com/lawrence/writings/java-for-everything...

Unfortunately, I too find most Java projects are developed in a way that make them completely unapproachable without the assistance of an IDE. I'm secretly hoping that Microsoft announces first-class support for Android app development in VSCode, given that the team's overall gestalt is on producing a nimble, code-oriented editor. They may not otherwise have any incentive to make that kind of thing happen, except that I think it would be a real boon for VSCode adoption. Anxiously waiting to see if there will be any interesting announcements to come out of their developer conference this weekend, although I'm not counting on it.

You can't anticipate every emergency change required to the codebase. Sure, you can make some intelligent predictions about certain points in the code and encapsulate possible changes but it's impossible in the general case. Trying to code to future possible requirements is often far more harmful because of over-abstraction than occasionally having to perform a quick hack and then fix it later.

Beer is super cheap per employee. I don't think many people would rather have another ~$50/month over having free beer available at work. It's also more convenient than having to buy it and bring it to work yourself.
But a company generally doesn't want diversity, they want predictability. Predictability as to how fast and when something will be done, predictability on the quality of the work. Sure having thought diversity in solving problems is a good thing, but look at how complicated software project scheduling is already.
First, I don't see any way that moving to OpenJDK is going to cost more than $10 billion. Second, if I understand correctly, OpenJDK has a license grant from Oracle. That's going to make it really hard for Oracle to say that Google doesn't have permission to use it.
