Again, they are run only when you run those commands explicitly on the packages in question. The only reason you would do that on code that wasn't yours was is if you were developing on a forked module, which should be trustworthy, or you've at least read it's code.
That's a little bit odd. Here in South Africa, you regularly get 'savings'-type accounts that yield 5+ percent interest, guaranteed by the bank. If it weren't for exchange controls, you'd probably have access to the sort of market (like South Africa) that would let you have that kind of interest rate.

Then again, we also have mortgage-loans that are at 10% interest.
Anyone around with CMake experience?

We're putting some effort into getting it compiling on Linux/BSD - based on the APPLE CMake conditional already there. Someone with a clue :) using CMake would be really helpful:

Debian solved this particular problem a long time ago, with pbuilder(1): packages that are installed "from source" simply get compiled in a chroot. Strangely, nobody has ever copied the idea.

The modern hipster-language equivalent would probably be to make the package manager depend on the presence of Docker/rkt/systemd, and use it to pull down a dev-env container and build the native bindings in that.

That seems far too low to count as 1%. ($55k is 75th percentile in the US, a country of 300 million -- 25% of the US is 1% of the world.). As far as I can tell, they are considering all people, not just those with incomes, which really distorts the data.

Is it me or does anyone else think that a single map function application is a really bad example? I've seen lots of errors introduced by for loops that have been malformed (although modern syntax like for(x:allthese) {stuff} helps ) but also map(stuff:x) means do all these, while for means do them one at a time in sequence
That's likely because you have high inflation rates (7%?). It's possible the real interest rate is actually higher in the US
A former Ph.D. student of my supervisor(s) in grad school designed his linear algebra code in such a way that he was able to separate it out and create a business from it. I've seen the rest of the code and it's a bit of a tangled C++ code, but the linear algebra classes were really well designed.

I don't really wanna defend King.com, but I think you're being a bit uncharitable. They talk about the community "creating tutorials, by finding bugs, improving the documentation". It's just tautological that you'll get more bug reports the more users you have, and creating tutorials/refining documentation are particularly suited to crowdsourcing (as the designers are often too close to the application to understand what a newbie needs to know).
Not every package manager, for example the Solaris 11 package manager explicitly does not support install time scripting for this reason among many others:

Probably for power reasons, much like the most recent iPhones can be controlled by ; Hey Siri". However older iPhones can always listen too but are required to be plugged in to do it because they're using their main processor and doing it at a software level.

In short, always listening isn't difficult on non-battery devices, it's just a software problem.
--ignore-scripts won't help much. The act of using any npm module means you implicitly trust all the javascript code in the module and any of its dependencies. Has anyone taken the time to inspect every line of the dozens of modules that many common packages pull in? Not likely.

I don't see how this has anything to do with semver. Semver doesn't say anything about not locking dependencies to a certain version (i.e., locking to a specific version is totally legal), nor does it have anything to do with allowing package authors to push new versions of their packages (I'm not even sure how to parse this sentence, really... should it be impossible to ever push new versions of a package? (EDIT: maybe it's suggesting there should be a central review process, like the iOS App Store?)).

In fact, the semver spec doesn't even advocate automatically upgrading when new patch versions are released:

"As a responsible developer you will, of course, want to verify that any package upgrades function as advertised. The real world is a messy place; there’s nothing we can do about that but be vigilant."

It should be about wealth not income. Income is based on active participation in the economy and is something which we should be doing everything to keep our hands of. This includes many of the people who work hard and play hard on wall street.

Read somewhere that one banker alone would keep 4 waiters jobs alive.

Wealth on the other hand is lazy money that's what should be in competition.
Maps have a very clear and discrete semantic, no need for a flag or a comment, when someone reads the code if they are not familiar with map(x, things) then they will look it up and quickly become familiar. On the other hand closures say "the rules about variables that you might have thought were the rules are not the rules, these are not the rules you are looking for, move on, move on". People who haven't seen them before will be genuinely puzzled.

Yes, a good programmer will find out what is going on, they will be a better programmer there after. However alot of code is picked up by contractors or off shore, or even just by an intern and what happens then is that they hide their incompetence and introduce lots of bugs, or just fake the tests or lie about the tests.
It scared me initially that knowing this would open up a can of worms but conclusion came to dog fooding and not exploit.

I don't think most people are arguing that these two guys, or people like them, should have been released. The problem is that we're filling up the prisons with drug users and other non-violent offenders, and as a result everyone gets squeezed, from kids who got caught smoking pot right on up to cold-blooded murderers. Fix the overcrowding on the low end, and the high end has room to expand as needed without reducing the sentences for hardened killers.

Infuriating: "the rising tide model is no longer working"

What dishonesty! What is a model that's supposed to produce results on the long term and destroys society on the medium term? A lie, that's what it is.

Socialists have been telling as much for decades (centuries?) but the american voter has been easily fooled by a simple marketing campaign (the "american dream") which works by exploiting the basic optimist nature of the human condition.

So, conservatives have not only been selling hot air for a long time, they have destroyed the left and the political discourse in the process.

And now they are planning to "move to the next paradigm", without even recognizing the fact that they have been wrong, utterly wrong all along (actualy, malicious)?

Compound interest is only a magical force on long term investing with decent interest (2% is fairly low for real investing). With a somewhat realistic 7% (usual growth of the S&P500) yield over 40 years, this is actually visible:

>>> 1.07**40
14.974457839206984

For comparison, linear interest would only be:

>>> 1 + .07*40
3.8000000000000003

In the comic, the magic fails to work:

>>> 1.02**10
1.2189944199947573
>>> 1 + .02*10
1.2

Finally, do note that compound interest is a step up from linear interest, which itself would already be better than "no savings".
In a word: Privileges.

In the US lawyers and physicians are rich, but in the rest of the world it is not so. In the US those professions have privileges.

The main disruption to wealth has been central banks redirecting the wealth to themselves, by printing money and giving it to themselves at near zero interest rates. With free money privilege people(savers) loss, they win.

Eternal Copyrights and software and business patents are privileges enacted recently in order to preserve the status quo forever.

More taxes? that only creates bigger central planning, more resources in the hands of a few, the politicians.
OK, but why does the US have more murders per capita thank most other countries? What could be done to stop those people becoming murders? Or what pathways send people towards a life in prison?

The Palm with the color screen, and Internet access was great! Forget the name, but it still works, and sitting in a drawer. Too lazy to walk over.

It was around $300.00

It saved me so much money. I used to go to liquidation sales. In one instance, I needed to find what 900 units of Halo III The collector's edition were selling for on eBay. They were going for $40-$50 bucks. I bought all the games at $5 a piece. The other buyers thought I was crazy.

No one had smart phones. I really thought I finally had a tool to get ahead in life. Libraries offered free internet access without logging in, and it seemed wherever I was, someone had an open wifi I could connect to. This little Palm always had internet access, or though it seemed? I remember thinking about a smart phone, and couldn't bring myself to pay for data?

I blinked, about 9 months went by, and it seemed like everyone was on a smart phone. It was nice while it lasted.

As to the device, I don't think they marketed it the right way.

I still think the Palm, all of them, were great little devices. I remember hooking one up to a gps. I took it down the Rogue River, so I could be prepared for any rapids greater than 3. It kinda worked, but need fine tuning. It wasen't Palms fault; I didn't have the right maps loads.

Just looked for the devise, and can't find it.

Palm products were great. They, along with the accessories were make well. It's ashame what happened to that company.

I believe that is a mischaracterisation by omission. When you have business interests of the few [effectively] dictating fiscal policy, the system is either crony capitalism or flat out plutocracy.

> You and I have the power to restore democracy by punishing the people who use their wealth to manipulate our democracy.

The best approach I can think of is propaganda warfare[~] via art and satire. Keep pushing and highlighting the idea that laws are up for auction. Turn it into subversive art and comedy; eventually the idea will catch on with larger population by mere osmosis. Only then can the topic become politically flammatory enough to drive a change.

[~]: Propaganda, advertising campaign or lobbying - I make no distinction between them, they are all aiming to sell ideas and change what (or how) people think. So when using a term in context, might as well be honest about it.
Rebol has always interested me, as a person that follows programming languages. There seems to be a spark of insight to it. I wasn't aware that there were free and open source languages inspired by it (or made by its author), nor had I heard about Red. I'm impressed by what I've seen so far and am going to have to take a closer look!

I have suspected that a well-enough designed programming language could subsume many programming tasks that are currently different languages or data formats. There are so many. It looks like Red is attempting to tackle that problem directly - I'm curious what headway can be made.

I think the issue with a service for finding friends is that it will inevitably be used by people looking for "friends" of a more romantic nature and either by reputation or officially becomes a romantic service as that's what the majority of the users seem to want.

A service to find someone to hang out with and show you around while traveling would end up becoming "Uber for Escorts" or some kind of Uber-Tinder hybrid.

For example Adult Friend Finder was started to actually find friends:

>In 1994, Andrew Conru created the first online dating site, WebPersonals. After selling that site in 1995, he launched FriendFinder.com, an early social networking site intended to help people connect with likeminded activity partners, in 1996.[3] Days after the site went live, Conru found that people were posting naked pictures of themselves and seeking partners for adult-oriented activities.

Kind of amusing that this is considered to need a new vuln. report, I kind of assumed it was common knowledge.

Most of the programming language package repositories (e.g. npm, rubygems, PyPi, NuGet) have this kind of installation process and limited/no checks for malicious content.

Also as there's no consistent use of package signing by the developer (it's either unsupported or not very used) there is also a risk of the repository itself being compromised.

> my dogs eat better food than the majority of the world

This immediately reminded me of Viktor Belenko [1] who flew his MiG-25 to Japan and defected. He wrote (I think, in his autobiography, it could have been an interview) of the amazement that dawned upon him when he entered a Western supermarket for the first time.

edit: found it.

"Once I bought a can which said "dinner." I cooked it with potatoes, onions, and garlic-it was delicious. Next morning my friends ask me, "Viktor, did you buy a cat?" It was a can of chicken-based cat food. But it was delicious! It was better than canned food for people in Russia today. And I did test it. Last year I brought four people from Russia for commercial project, and I set them up. I bought nibble sized human food. I installed a pâté, and it was cat food. I put it on crackers. And they did consume it, and they liked it. So the taste has not changed." [2]
