Some of these students need to sue the government over this. But I doubt they will have the resources or the standing to do so. At the end of the day who wins from doing this? The US government? No. The students. No. America? No. No one wins. It's just big bureaucracy justifying its budget and its existence.

US has 300 million people. 1,000 students make little difference. Whether legal or not.
If I were in their shoes, I would find the university very suspect, and possibly unethical. But if I saw that they were an accredited university and certified by DHS, I'd assume that they were exploiting a legal loophole.
The real damage from piracy comes from distribution, rather than consumption. Lending might do a small amount of damage, but as long as the inventory publishers have has been paid for somehow, they don't really care. They would care if libraries started running printing presses in the back and gave away extra copies for free, which were indistinguishable from the original, which is essentially the piracy model.

IANAL but I'm honestly not even certain that the piracy service you describe would actually be illegal, or at least that it couldn't be done legally.

Rage-fatigue is a fantastic way to describe it. People have so many things to worry about already. Their jobs, their families, their college loans, their retirement... Frankly, some publisher charging for access to scientific papers paid for by taxpayers is going to be pretty low on their list of priorities.
I think TI-BASIC is a strong competitor. A free-form keyboard can be overwhelming and the different things you can do aren't very discoverable. In the TI-BASIC environment on the TI-82/83/83+/84+, the keywords (Goto, While, Disp, ClrHome, etc) are tokens which must be inserted into the program by selecting them from menus. So you get a rich set of powerful commands (easily in the hundreds, even for the simple TI-84, and many more for the TI-89) but they're all discoverable through the normal menus and through the catalog menu. You start out knowing a few commands like Lbl and Goto, but through the process of scrolling over unknown commands (like maybe For or While in the control flow menu) repeatedly you start to wonder what they do, and then try them out, until you know what everything does and you can write the cleanest possible code. It's a wonderful way to learn.

And it supports both a text mode (with a "write string at grid position" operation for easy game making - text mode is a must on the CPU-starved TI-84+) and a graphical mode, with tons of stuff to do in both. For example, in high school I had a program that accepted a string of "DNA" and used it to repeatedly call the built-in pattern-drawing command with different arguments, producing a mosaic of overlapping patterns, so that each different input string produced a different final pattern. It's like 4 lines of code and kept me endlessly entertained in class.

And that brings me to its greatest advantage- its presence in the math classroom. In middle school and high school, math for a gifted student is boring as death, and you've got a little BASIC interpreter sitting right there on your desk. You can transform hundreds of wasted hours a year into productive learning time.

I don't understand the logic. We shouldn't ask if the work of people making billions should be free? That seems like exactly the sort of people of whom we should be asking it.

What reasonable default behaviour? If you're writing a console application, dumping to stderr is probably not a good idea - writing random log files that the end-user/admin has no idea about is probably not a good idea - shutting up and doing nothing is probably not a good idea (Java code has a tendency to use logging to warn about non-fatal configuration errors, etc). And let's not get started on what verbosity to set by default.

Yeah, that's never in the news.
Usually one must assign to the journal a more or less restrictive copyright to one's paper before being able to publish it. For math, this usually includes a stipulation that it be published nowhere else (except that many specifically allow posting to the arXiv, because—hurrah for the big guy being in the right!—it seems that no journal is big enough to fight the community consensus behind the arXiv).
The LibreJS browser add-on blocks javascript that is above a certain size/complexity and doesn't have a programatically declared (or manually whitelisted) FOSS license.

The FSF uses LibreJS on the computers in their office. Which makes it excruciating to buy airline tickets, for example.

I was flabbergasted when I found this out. I thought something along the lines of "I've been giving these mad martyrs money!?". :)

...It took a while to sink in, but... They are right.

The reasoning goes like this:

A script embedded in a website is a tiny program that runs on your computer. It is software.

Some software is morally wrong. Some software is morally neutral or good. Software can/has/will change the world, and it's important that it be a force of good, not evil.

You can tell the difference between good and bad software by applying the following metrics. The software is "free" (as in William Wallace) if it provides the user with the following freedoms:

* The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any
purpose (freedom 0).
* The freedom to study how the program works, and change
it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1).
Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
* The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your
neighbor (freedom 2).
* The freedom to distribute copies of your modified
versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can
give the whole community a chance to benefit from your
changes. Access to the source code is a precondition
for this.

The javascript on government websites (even non-USA) should have those freedoms. Why not?

Another comment here said that the FSF needs to "pick its battles". Actually, don't you think this is a great one to pick? There's no good excuse for a government web-dev to avoid meeting those requirements. And there's no good argument against users demanding them. It's just javascript!

Don't be like that. From the other commenters' perspective, you didn't share a positive thing about MS, you made a negative comment about them.

The book Fordlandia is kind of interesting, especially in ways you wouldn't expect. For example it gets into the social experiements that went along with the experiment of Fordlandia itself. In other words, in addition to experiments at the core of Fordlandia such as new ways to plant rubber trees, there were also experiments in providing socialized medicine, etc.

What else would it be? objc_msgSend() is called as a C function, to interface with ObjC code.
Tor project discontinued flashproxy.
...objc_msgSend() is a plain C function that grovels around in various runtime data structures to call the correct function pointer for GUI and OS functionality.

Any alternate method of finding and calling those functions would amount to simply reimplementing objc_msgSend()

That is to be expected at this time though, and for a service like Github letting the user choose their level of authentication strength is fine — you are mostly responsible for what data you store there yourself. In the mean time it will help the adoption of this standard to at least have the option available.

If a service is actually guarding private data by definition (like a bank or an insurance agency) than phasing out SMS in favour of FIDO U2F or another true hardware factor is a much more likely scenario.

SharedArrayBuffer only allows plain typed (byte) arrays to be shared at least. Arbitrary javascript objects can't be shared, so there's a very clear division about what can get affected by other threads and what can't. You don't have to worry about whether existing libraries are thread-safe, etc.
You do actually need to cast the dispatch function, because there is no guarantee for all platforms that the ABI for calling a variadic function is the same as the ABI for calling a non-variadic function with the same arguments.
As the sibling answer says, they are not visible.

However, crates can re-export symbols they have imported from their dependency, which couples their semver to that dependency's in a way that people have often not realized. This has been the source of some upgrade headaches so far, but its less of a problem than it has been with languages in my experience.

The reason for implementing MTP instead of mass storage was clear, because you couldn't / wouldn't be able to access the files from the phone while the computer was accessing them. So I understand why they went in that direction.

But oh my goodness! MTP support on Linux was terrible for a while, and even on Windows it wasn't fast and reliable. It was easier at the time to just use a service like Dropbox to transfer files to/from the phone, than to use USB.

The general concept of prescribed forest fires has been considered good forestry practice for a long time now.

As for the actual method, nuclear bombs every few years for a large magnitude doesn't seem like it's mild enough.

We've seen that fracking often has the side effect of causing faults to get lubricated and slip more easily causing earthquakes.

Maybe research into the ideal chemical cocktail to most effectively lubricate and hook up injection stations along the length of the fault line, when there aren't aquifers in the nearby vicinity. Bonus for some kind of lubricant that degrades into non carcinogenic materials.

You wouldn't want to just start pumping fault lubricant into the system while it's so full of energy, but after the next "big" earthquake you could have a window where the pumping would trigger small size 3 or 4 earthquakes similar to aftershocks in perpetuity.

Thanks for the comment!

On OS X if OBJC_OLD_DISPATCH_PROTOTYPES is not defined, you will get this declaration with zero arguments: void objc_msgSend(void /* id self, SEL op, ... */ ), which is possible to call from C without cast by using implicit function declaration, but this call will fail if compiled as Objective-C code with error "too many arguments to function call", I've decided to write in a style that compiles as C and Objective-C code.

My experience in publishing (in CS) is that the publisher does not offer assistance in typesetting. Additionally reviewers are not paid for their effort, and are not affiliated with the publisher--they do it out of a sense of duty / professional advancement.

The journals offer something of value because they provide high-quality taxpayer-funded research. The publisher is nothing more than a middleman, who should be cut out of the equation.
The brokers reaching out to the students doesn't mean entrapment, even if we took the case where the brokers actually were government agents. To be entrapment, someone working on the government's behalf would have to do something that would even convince a lawful-minded person to commit the crime.
Most things that were "once an accepted standard in IT" are horribly insecure. The end user wanting a system he/she controls is very much one of them.

Microsoft taking away control from users, especially when it came to forcing them to take updates, is probably the biggest change they could possibly have made to improve the overall security of the internet.

> The low-level coding is far more skilled work than the high level coding. Instead of most of the work being "how do these plug in to each other?", it's how exactly does my code function with respect to all of the potential events additional threads, and how all of the edge cases interact, and what is causing this obscure bug?

I've done the full range too, and I don't agree that low-level involves more skill. I think it involves different skills. When you're working high-level, you don't have the above questions so much, to be sure. Instead you have questions like, what are the relevant business rules? Which ones are stable and which ones are going to change? Does this user interface suck? Is the program giving answers that actually correspond to reality? Does anyone want this product in the first place? Different questions, but not easier to answer.

I toured the GM Delta Factory a few years ago in Lansing, MI and at the time they were running three shifts at over 60 cars/hour or roughly 1500 cars/day. At the time it was built, it was the most modern and automated factory in the world.

The thing that impressed me most was that the shell would be assembled for painting, then the doors would go off on their merry way and rejoin the same car hours later right before the final checks so that the paint would exactly match.

I forgot to add, all of those crazy robots in the Tesla videos that assemble the vehicles without human intervention? Other manufacturers have relied on those for at least a decade.. It was generally considered proprietary which is why it seemed so novel when Tesla released their promo videos.
> The only infrastructure that affects "viability" of a new technology is infrastructure that's available to use.

In-home chargers do affect the viability of a new technology, and they are available to use. Just not to everyone. But most people who have an electric car have access to at least one private charger, and it's the one they will use most, so it affects them more than any other charger, especially for regular, in-region daily use/commuting.

> doesn't change the equation for anybody whose not already a member of the club.

Anyone who's not a member of the club probably doesn't have an electric car. When they get an electric car, they will likely either use their in-building charger or get their own.

All of these hypotheticals don't change the fact that this figure is encouraging to me. It shows that Japan is starting to figure out how to use the electric car as a reasonable replacement for the gasoline/diesel car. The number is still impressive, even if you don't compare it to the number of gas stations--but rather just to the number of people--it shows that they've adopted the electric car more than most (if not all) countries without their economy going to shit or a transport-related crisis happening.

You shared your positive experience about dealing with Microsoft, but you also downplayed the OP's experience. Even though he went through the process he attempted in some detail, you told him he was responsible for the poor customer service he got from Microsoft.

That's why you aren't getting favourable comments.
