Modern GUI is relative: I make GUIs for Symbos in Z80 asm and it is great and modern.... for the target I am writing for :) But yes I write asm for modern embedded devices as well as 70-80s machines and I love both. So definitely not universally.
I find it curious how you treat F# a separate language, but in the "primary programming languages" question OCaml and SML are considered the same language (listed as "OCaml/SML").

IMHO, if you don't make a distinction between OCaml and SML languages, you should definitely not make a distiction between OCaml and F#.

I have a good experience with OCaml, and judging by most F# code I saw it seems F# and OCaml are much more similar than OCaml and SML.

Here you can see some examples comparing ML variants, which also illustrates my point a little further: http://hyperpolyglot.org/ml
Most of the value is in the land. And historically the prices have gone up over the long term, so your leveraged investment allows you to get more returns.

Also, unlike stocks, if housing falls, at least you get utility from it-- you live in it.

Finally, there are many neighborhoods in the US where the rental options are pretty limited. You need to buy to live a lot of places.
Core NT is, or at least was, prior to NT 4 putting graphics in the kernel, very very nice. It's mostly what Microsoft did on top of it, and their general stewardship of it that I have a problem with.

For the latter, I noticed a serious drop in quality starting with 3.51 SP2, which to the best of my ability on Google seems to have come out 9 months before NT 4.

So you are against anyone being compensated at the amounts under discussion?

Which is a coherent, defensible position. Sounded like you were selectively accusing one actor in this dispute as the "greedy" one, which I think is why you got so much push back on your comments.

That's things getting worse.
Yes. I've had several people come onto an F# project with no prior experience in F# or ML or anything like it. They were all able to get up to speed. To start, F# makes it easy to write imperative, C#-style code anyways.

Over half of these people have since said they LOVE F#, and it makes them happy to use it. That it makes them better programmers, and that C# is just verbose and annoying in comparison.

As far as the Windows ecosystem, you don't need to learn much about it, though Visual Studio is a great IDE for F#. But there's IDEs on Linux and Mono specifically says they support F#.
REI means Real Estate Index? Or do you mean REIT (RE Investment Trust)?

Excellent explanation, thank you.
So creating a partnership (a form of joint venture) is extremely easy: if you get together as co-owners and operate a business enterprise for profit a partnership arises, whether or not you intended to create a partnership.[1] So if Guillory and Vogt operated as co-owners of a for-profit business, there might be a partnership. The partnership probably wouldn't be around today. It probably would have been terminated when Vogt "fired" Guillory. But if Guillory was a partner, he was entitled to some distribution of the partnership assets that existed at the time.

Guillory's allegation here is basically that he never got that distribution, and Vogt took the IP that was among the partnership's assets to Cruise. The partnership claim isn't going to get him equity in Cruise. What it does get him will depend mostly on what IP he contributed and the harm to Guillory from Cruise not returning that IP.

[1] At least in California, which follows the Uniform Partnership Act.
I had a similar experience with Redfin. I wanted to use a particular agent my friends had used and recommended but because my home was not expensive enough/in a hot enough neighborhood, I got pawned off to a partner agent. I can understand their reasons for doing this but it really doesn't make you feel like a valued customer.

1. People don't understand the time value of money, or how the alternative to owning a house is owning stocks / bonds.

Yes, vigilante justice is probably a step too far, but only because it's definition requires a lack of rule of law to start with. zeveb is basically arguing that the morality of the individual citizens at each step of the chain overrides the rule of law. The basic premise is the same between them: A vigilante applies their own morality extra-judiciously, without regard for the rule of law. It's the positive counterpart (applying law) of the negative (nullifying law) that zeveb is arguing for.

Civil disobedience is also not correct. Civil disobedience is the refusal to obey laws, not the refusal to uphold them. People participating in civil disobedience do it with the understanding that they can (and should) be prosecuted for such. They do so to act as martyrs.
Yeah, much of the area is benefiting because of the growth in Seattle, Ferry Port towns specifically benefit, Port Orchard, Bremerton, Bainbridge, and Kingston all seem to be doing rather well in growth. I know on Port Orchard's Facebook there's a lot of concern and anger about the "big city folk" coming over and ruining their small town feel. I hate to be contributing to that, but it's where my wife's new job is and I can telework a few days a week so the extended drive doesn't bother me.
On the other hand, maybe you want to incentivize pregnancy. Most developed countries are losing population (the only exceptions are those with large-scale immigration).

Compare:

https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/...

A fertility rate of 2 would be necessary just to replace the current population, without any growth (assuming that all children reach adulthood and breed in turn, which is a big assumption for some of these countries).

Exploring 2^56 URLs is possible.

Exploring it with anti-brute force detection from the keeper of said URLs? Good luck. They could easily limit any ip to 10 URLs per hour or something and make it impossible to scan.
You pay rent to the government, around here about 1.25% of the purchase price / year.
The government has a moral obligation to consider the request and saying "we don't consent" does not satisfy the obligation.

Another important consideration is that exercising the right to deny the prosecution would have taken away power from the judiciary. Germany is in the process of making this point to Poland and Hungary, where the independence of the judiciary is under attack. A denial would have weakened that argument a lot.
You can dress it up with all the sophistry you want, but this pig still stinks: a man's freedom is being taken away for mocking a politician.

This is just unjustifiable. Even worse, it's being done because Merkel needs favors from Erdogan. Imagine if George W. Bush had demanded that Merkel bring prosecutions for some of the more outrageous things people said about him. Would you have been okay with that?

Ultimately, students make a pretty poor voting demographic (especially in Republican state legislatures in the south).

So if a college earns some kind of financial benefit from choosing a particular text "solution", then that's money the state doesn't have to fund.

If students want this to change then they need to organize politically and make it a clear demand, as they're the only stakeholders impacted by higher priced textbooks.

If we live in a world where everything is free and no one has to work we are living in a zoo. This is one pole of the spectrum, a pole which you would have us move closer to. To avoid being mastered by someone or something else you need to be a necessary part of the world and provide for yourself. The human response to automation should be to augment ourselves with technology, not become dependent on technology. If we lose control over our own personal affairs eventually we will be enslaved.

As to your claim of rampant poverty, it is true. However if we surrender our welfare to automation, humans will all be in poverty compared to the control exerted over us by the machines, and what we could have achieved if we remained free. If we continue to strive for personal independence, some of us will remain free. If we give in to subsistence dependence, we as a species will be enslaved.
The value is you can say what you think without having to run it by a lawyer.
A recent alternative is to write the entire program in Julia. It is a lot less ugly than Numpy, and so performant that most code (other than steadfast libraries such as BLAS and LAPACK) are written in Julia itself.

Calling people from that region "goat fuckers" unfortunately has a long history. It's not a generic insult and the use was obviously deliberate. (Of course that was the whole point of that poem.)
what the hell is water?
Why? Just because we do not believe in this "free speech" thingy and trust our judicative? If it has been serious defamation, he (Boehmermann) will get a sentence (which he quite probable won't), if not he will not. Merkel just states that she should not judge this and upholds the law. And honestly, this is the best she can do because else the opposition in turkey will be have an even bigger problem than now, because Erdogan will whine about it forever to get nationalist support. Boehmermann has nothing to lose here, it is just a question how much him market value rises. His only problem are dumb turkish nationalists with their death threads.
It was clearly political speech. He was protesting about what someone took as an insult.

~"That's not an insult, this is an insult: &@##$ @#$@#$."

He said, "&@##$ @#$@#$"! Burn him!

When in context the actual insult was said before then.

So what you're saying is Tel Aviv coffee shops are ideal for tech workers? Got to remember most of the world could care less about the logo designer, the architect, the programmer, etc. It worries me that tech is becoming a social club where you're either in it it completely or out of it. What's it like to be a low-wage blue collar worker in SF outside of the tech industry? This post would make it seems like they have nothing to talk about.
It's hard to believe so many people consider the use of shortened URLs a security measure. It is not, and was never intended to be. A URL is exposed, by definition, whether long or shortened. A shortened URL is a convenience, not a security tool. Some people misuse base64 encoding for "security" as well, but it does not mean we should get rid of base64 encoding.
Yes indeed I have, and I have several problems with it, one of which is "Expires: August 3, 2013" with no new version in sight. My other major problem is that AFAICT it doesn't support one of my pet favorite features namely "Algebraic Data Types"[0, 1]. If you extend json-schema like Swagger has done it might support ADTs properly AFAICT, but I don't have any actual practical experience with Swagger.

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_data_type
[1] I should note that support for ADTs in XSD is sometimes sketchy in the various code generators, but at least the XSD specification supports it. (It could also be argued that XSD supports something even more general... which it probably shouldn't since ADTs basically cover the whole data structure space unless you go to higher kinds, inheritance and such.)
The speech in question was intentionally provocative/insulting, intentionally illegal (it was even stated as such prior to it), and was barely satire, if at all: http://blogs.reuters.com/great-debate/2016/04/13/a-dirty-not...

Worst of all, it wasn't even funny, unlike the video that enraged Erdogan last month.
I figured that out when I read "Verizon has been increasingly granting these jobs to foreign workers who lack the skills to help customers with their technical problems.". If they couldn't do the job they wouldn't be hiring them, "Did you restart the modem?", yes, "I'll send a tech out" isn't that technical of a gig.
The important thing here is not that the law is legitimate, but rather that it is from an era when manners and respect where more important than extremer notions of free speech.

It hasn't been a problem, because normally, nations which have the respect of the German state to require such prosecution know better than to use it. On the other hand, accusing foreign heads of states of fucking goat on public television isn't exactly something people expected.

Erdogan has ensured that the oppression of his media will stay in European media for months.
and thats why they want to get rid of it
You say "stock market crashes", I say "dividend yields go way up!". The losses are usually paper losses (hello tax-loss harvesting!), which don't bother long-term investors (whether they are home owners or stock investors). (I don't think you can tax-loss harvest a home though...)

Damn, TIL that bar was not decorative.
You might have missed it because it's used here toward unsavory aims, but the situation jdmichal is describing is also non-violent civil disobedience.
I appreciate the sentiment here; however, you must consider that there are many roles in government where you must weigh your duty to the law against your duty to your personal convictions. I imagine as a judge there are decisions you uphold that would directly contradict your beliefs.

The alternative is a rejection of conservatism in the worst way: the state can change too quickly for society to have a proper discourse on whether we made a mistake or not. "Revolution" is a relatively positive word these days and it's easy to forget that actual lives are often lost when mob mentality takes precedent over rule of law.

I worked with MSRC several times over the years and found them to be smart security professionals (and often former hackers) who care deeply about improving security.

I suggest you take the long view and compare how Microsoft handled security disclosures in the past ("That vulnerability is entirely theoretical.") compared with today (inviting hackers to their oncampus Bluehat conference, sponsoring CanSecWest, etc). Things could always get better, but they've come a long way.

More specifically, "only" 2 weeks to issue a security fix is actually pretty good for thick client/desktop software. It's less than ideal for something like a web app where they control all the machines that need to adopt the fix, but still. Also, the severity of reported issue is a factor in when something gets fixed.

Consider looking at something like rfp's RFPolicy if you'd like guidance on how to disclose in a reasonable, timely way

OK, so what does it mean? (Semantically) I have a hard time believing that it actually literally means what it says.

We'll have to see how honest they are when it becomes their interest to intervene in the business of prosecutors and the courts. It goes both ways so it remains to be seen.

That said, my take is that if the law is unjust, I prefer the law to be overturned rather than not prosecute on the law or rely on disobedience.

In this case prosecuting may create enough bad will that people will find it unpalatable and work to have it overturned to the dismay of foreign "dignitaries".
It needs to be parsed like this

Whosoever insults [a foreign head of state], or, [with respect to his position, a member of a foreign government who is in Germany in his official capacity], or [a head of a foreign diplomatic mission who is accredited in the Federal territory] shall be liable to imprisonment not exceeding three years or a fine, in case of a slanderous insult to imprisonment from three months to five years.
Agree. There is a huge difference between them.

I try to get them to tell any time I speak to any of thise veterans and what I hear is scary.

Example: one Danish officer had to go so far as to tell UN soldiers from another country that they would be shot if he took them for buying kids again.

Another story: painting endangered turtles UN blue and shoot at them just for fun. Can't say for sure who did but I have a hunch this one was Scandinavians.
That's very insightful. So my understanding now it that Rust provides low level "blocks" that, as a whole, is an extensible language. Thus language vs standard library doesn't really matter, since Rust = Language spec + standard library. Am I getting close to its definition?

BTW, I remember in the alpha days when the decision was made to make Rust support concurrency in the standard library rather in the language itself. So in that sense (Rust = language spec + stdlib) Rust does have concurrency built-in.

> Are all systems which depend on someone not guessing your strong password wrong? Are practically all encryption schemes wrong?

No, but if your security system has a password and only one account shared by everyone where the password is shared as plain text (typically just emailed from person to person) without any sort of user access logging then it's got major problems.

With just a URL you have no idea who has access and the only way of revoking access to anyone is to permanently move the resource and then get back in contact with everyone who should have access by sending the new "password" around.

> Are practically all encryption schemes wrong?

An encryption scheme that involves the users sharing the only password through far less secure channels?
Just no. The laws/paragraphs in question are special in that they explicitly state the German government has to allow the any prosecution under that law/paragraph.

Of course the gov't has a moral and also legal obligation to consider the request, consideration does not imply they have to follow the request.

If the government made a new law requiring gov't consent before prosecutions or if they tried to hinder a prosecution under any existing law not having such a "government must consent" paragraph, then you might have a point; here however, you do not.
You are allowed, to say "Islam" you know – but I know that people with the views you are hinting at have a bit of a habit of not doing so, in what I'd perceive as a rather flaccid attempt to demonstrate how their freedom of speech is being repressed.

Screws are not being tightened on freedom of expression on any real sense. The German law in question has nothing to do with religious insult, and ECHR Article 10 explicitly protects freedom of expression.

More importantly, it is not the place of the Chancellor to decide whether or not the law has been violated. That's the last thing that we want.
And WoSign.
That's how it was handled in some of Heinlein's stories. The government calculated the value of new goods and services that had become available, then issue that amount of new money as direct payments to the people. Done correctly (yeah, right), that wouldn't be inflationary at all (although it seems like you'd also need some mechanism to claw the money back if the economy shrank).
