The outputs of the system will reflect the choices that humans made about the inputs and processing. It makes a whole lot of sense to have humans taking a look at the outputs and making sure they are reasonable.

You obviously don't need humans reviewing the outputs of simple mechanisms, but as your mechanisms get more complex and opaque, the pretense that they are objective becomes ridiculous.
They don't have it for ivars, but that's just one potential problem.
My thinking about them never changed:

1/ Their restrictive API and a commercial API that is expensive for small companies.

2/ Poor business execution because they don't know how to offer services for small companies and only know about wholeselling. This clashes with the business fundamentals of Internet where individual users or small companies can pay for services like AdWords, Slack, GitHub, etc.

So the solution to a combination of human nature and an unfortunate profit motive in the Western news is... Lying?

I mean, we already know that China is both governmentally AND culturally OK with pervasive deceit:

There is nothing new brought to the table, feature wise. Same old ws interface, you keep your current code unchanged.

Swap require('ws') with require('uws') and see how it works for your code, report any issues if you need them fixed.

Well, of course there is a 20-30x perf boost, 10-40x memory improvement compared to ws (as the benchmark table shows).

This guys puts a skimmer on your regular machine, no contactless needed:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y83ZgzuFBSE

And the fear of contactless payments is almost funny - someone would need to go to ridiculous length to read a card via PayWave/PayPass(the card won't reply to a non-genuine key, so you would need to have an actual authorized reader or access to one), and the most you can spend is 25 pounds per transaction, and you can only do it 5 times before you have to enter the pin. In the meantime, you can anonymously buy thousands of stolen card numbers online - so why bother with contactless? I will always use it if there is an option to.
Programming isn't all one thing. You have to have what amounts to an epistemology about the system you're working on right now or you're going to break things.

A degree improves the chances of this. About half of what I do is teach these things, on the job. Just being able to classify a systems error can be daunting - is it a show stopper, or an ignore, or something in between?

I see bootcamps as being fine for getting people into seats, but the rest takes a long time.

Finally, employability and what (IMO) CS/programming should be about are diverging rapidly. This was not always so. This is starting to be a real problem.

It is clearly not ludicrous, as this fight has been going on for 6 years now. Oracle believes in it, and of course their well-compensated lawyers believe in it.

What I don't understand is WHY Oracle wants to go through with long legal battle. They make good revenue on their database ecosystem as well as some other products of dubious value (has anyone ever enjoyed Oracle EBS?). They've secured their interests in Java on the serverside, android is not a threat there.

Is this REALLY all about monetizing their purchase of Sun Microsystems? Seems like a round-about way to make money and it certainly carries a lot of risk.

I think the best solution would be to write a Python binding to µWS. You will not be able to implement this perf / memory footprint in Python itself.

I think the biggest problem with twitter is that people follow too many other people, and the feed becomes overwhelming. It's hard to increase the signal to noise ratio because it's difficult to know in advance who will post interesting things. The only thing I know for sure is that if I unfollow someone, I will never see any of the good things they post in the future. I feel like there should be a name for this, like "The Twitterer's Dilemma"

I don't think there's a technical solution. The more people use twitter, the spammier and less interesting it will be. It's the same problem that every online community faces. More traffic almost always leads to lower quality. On the whole I think twitter serves its purpose well. Always room for new ideas though.
The existence of the US government's looking into such a program or even having a small version of it isn't surprising.

What would be interesting in a bad way would be if the US government was using it at anywhere near the scale of the Chinese government.

The Foundation libraries provide that functionality, they're not core to the concept of a programming language, so they're not part of the minimal standard library. There are also numerous community provided implementations.

One way that Swift's type system is more advanced than Java is the ability to define extensions to protocols (interfaces) constrained to specific types, i.e. you can add "average" to "SequenceType where Generator.Element == Double". You can also use this to provide default implementations for protocols, but only in the case of specific associated types.
What can of live feed are you using/trying to read ? I'm very interested in this, can you give me details ?
This is not true. You could link the libraries as normal while maintaining your proprietary code. The GPL only asks you to release the code if a) you mix your proprietary code without separation from the GPL code b) you distribute the software to 3rd party. b) rarely happens if you sell the device as a closed/embedded system.

Also, they could use BSD code as well that comes with a more permissive MIT licence.
But it can be trademarked. Still, I can't see anybody successfully managing to apply trademark law to APIs in general.
So a bunch of racist, xenophobic people are tired of being told that they're racist and xenophobic? I can believe that. Of course, I thought they also want a "straight shooter" who "isn't afraid to tell it like it is"... well, I guess something's gotta give.
Then if libui supports libsdl as it does to gtk-3.0 it would be nice, as gtk-3.0 is still quite heavy for many embedded systems.

libui is based on C, and it is not really suited to compete with the c++/java full GUIs on Desktops, so supporting libsdl will certainly expand its usage.

Yes, how about taking pictures of a bunch of 40 year old marathon runners and putting it next to a picture showing a bunch of 20 year old overweight accountants and then ask people to guess the average age of each group? That should be pretty simple and covers at least the "looks" claim.
Others covered some other points, but one of my major motivators is the issue of centralization: the world has come to depend on this single organization (much like Facebook) that not only oversees all of this data, but can impose whatever type of censorship or manipulation they want on users. Intentional or not.

I use GNU Social[0], which is a federated service. I also host it myself, so I'm in complete control of my data. Because it's federated, the instance of anyone following me (or following others that repeat my messages) also have a copy of my messages, and I others; this makes censorship effectively impossible. In fact, it has some interesting side-effects: recently an instance dedicated to hosting pornographic material was federated with popular instances, which made many people uncomfortable; in that case, it's up to the individual instance to decide what to do (e.g. block the posts in the global feed).

I'm sure the recent controversy surrounding Moxie's opinions on federation with Signal can help put this topic in perspective for many people.

For anyone whose knowledge of this starts and ends with The Big Short, CDOs are not inherently bad. They're just a structure for divvying up assets based on risk. The problem up to 2008 was that the risks were downplayed/hidden by the banks and the credit rating agencies.
This hasn't born out in practice. Elections do not garauntee stability, at least before a certain point in the development spectrum. If China democratizes on its own, great, but meddling by us won't lead to a good outcome.

I'm not sure how making a destabilized China even less stable would improve the situation, nor do I think this insane theory is a part of the USA's security doctrine. The USA's biggest form of security is its huge unmatchable military, if things get bad with an established country, they just blow things up for awhile. The danger is if that country falls apart into a bunch of factions that cannot be targeted via conventional warfare.

Put this way: gulf war 1, Iraq invaded Kuwait, we easily take them out. But we don't dismantle their government because...that would make the problem much worse and our military much less effective (good at taking out countries, not so much in taking out terrorists, Isis, etc...). Gulf war 2: the son is not as smart as the father, goes too far, screws us for a decade+ in an unwinnable war. Sadam Hussein as an intact power was much easier to deal with than the vacuum that now exists.

So if something bad happens with China, there will probably be a good gulf-war-1 style spanking involved, but not with the goal to destroy China, depose its government, and make the situation much much worse. No one in the USA gov hated Gaddaffi enough to want him out at the cost of a destabilized Lybia (it was the lybians themselves who wanted him out).

The enemy you know (and can easily bomb) is much better than the enemy you don't know.
OpenJDK was not pure GPL but rather GPL+classpath exception.
It might not be that housing supply causes crime and gang activity as much as oversupply correlates with poor areas. I may be wrong.
Why are the top ten sites exempt?
I'd like to know the answer to this as well. Do you require login credentials from your users or what? I assume there's not some secret API for credit cards ...

I don't know how far one can go with this approach, but if this project works, I believe one could built on top of it to create more powerful UI toolkits. The advantage would be that, unlike things such as Qt and GTK which draw their own widgets on top of (I think) a OpenGL "canvas", this one uses the platform native UI widgets.. Tl-dr: this approach is lighter and sanner because it leaves the "drawing" burden to the OS itself..
My favorite so far is Malbolge[0]:
https://github.com/leachim6/hello-world/blob/master/m/malbol...

"Malbolge was specifically designed to be almost impossible to use, via a counter-intuitive 'crazy operation', base-three arithmetic and self-altering code.[1] It builds on the difficulty of earlier, challenging esolangs (such as Brainfuck and Befunge), but takes this aspect to the extreme, playing on the entangled histories of computer science and encryption. Weaknesses in the design have been found that make it possible (though still very difficult) to write useful Malbolge programs."

UCF is a great example and one that I'm familiar with. UCF has a faculty member that's very involved in their programming contest program. That brings a lot more consistency, probably a little money, makes it easier to recruit students, etc. They have a great library of problems to practice on. They also run a high school programming contest which helps identify talent and recruit, but also helps get more UCF students involved.

When I was at nearby USF, our programming contest teams were student-run. It's not a priority for the department and there is a lot of inconsistency as students come and go. There's also a smaller pool of participants to draw from. We did reasonably well for a little while when I was there and put a bunch of time into it, recruiting, teaching, running practices with and without other unis. But it takes a lot of effort.

I was really interested in the article until I read: "I spent the last three years as Google’s Design Ethicist...". In the article he is focusing at the application level but the issue is at the form factor level.

One simple example: if you give to a child a Simon game app based on the original Simon game [1] he/she will probably end up switching to YouTube and watching stupid videos but if you give him/her the "limited" form factor version of the game the child will have more fun.

On all the Linux distributions I've used in the last 15 years, NSS has never been responsible for authentication, though. It's only been responsible for resolution actions like getpw* and getgr* (i.e. uid/gid to name), whereas PAM has been responsible for authentication and auditing. You have to configure both to support LDAP, not just one.
I don't hate Twitter, however, when I follow someone for a specific purpose (programming for instance, or music) I don't want to hear him talking about his baby daughter, his new car or how "Trump is evil", no matter what political side I belong to. That's the biggest problem with Twitter. When you subscribe a RSS feed, most feeds have channels with separate topics, that's what Twitter need, follower tweets filtered by topics in which I'm interested in, I don't want to see the rest.

Sheetz and Wawa have been doing this for decades in the Northeast US, so why hasn't McDonalds, Subway, Burger King, etc followed suit? Is it due to public pressure, and/or the cost of deploying infrastructure?
Yes, I completely agree with the above. Litigation is handled poorly, taxation handled poorly (federal and state), identity handled poorly (Social Security Admin), legislation, elections, law enforcement, and these are just the things I can think of...

At every step of the way, something or someone outside of your business can topple your personal life and your company's life just for trying to do business in the USA.

With any advertising, the goal is for the advert to be shown to people who might be interested in it. If I hate sports and you show me an advert for football tickets, you've just wasted a tiny bit of that advertiser's budget because they will never make money from me. If I love football and you show me that ad, there's a chance that might be an ad impression that gives ROI.

I don't find the ads creepy at all, I find them absolutely irrelevant to me. And Twitter should have enough data about me - I've been talking about myself on there for years - to do better at guessing which adverts might interest me.

Data certainly shows that oversupply of housing is almost always correlated with crime. Whether or not that is the cause is certainly up for debate but I am very curious about what the argument is that oversupply does not result in staging grounds for illegal activity. Especially based on what we have seen in the rust belt.
Why does being a "derivative work" depend on the copyright status of the original work?
No.

The attack happens on a file-by-file basis, within the free space that you have allocated on the live filesystem. foo.txt, bar.pdf, and baz.jpg are all encrypted in place, consuming only marginal free space during the operation.

Then, when the incremental backup happens, THAT will notice that ALL the non-OS files have changed and the backup consumption will explode.

The Chinese are constantly brainwashed to believe that yes, it's true, China is a dictatorship and other countries aren't (this fact cannot be totally hidden no matter how much their firewall tries to block keywords like 'democracy') ... but that's not really a problem and democracy vs dictatorship are just two different styles with neither being better than the other. China has dictatorship and America has democracy but that's fine because China's needs are different, etc.

Any student of international history knows full well that this viewpoint is complete crap. The track record of totalitarian dictatorships is awful. But don't underestimate the power of total information control to warp and distort people's minds. I've encountered a Chinese person who believed they are well educated and understood the West well, and then came out with ridiculous statements like "people in the west have to wait a week for emergency medical care" as justification for why a "paternal" government is not so bad really.

The local perspective of Chinese people is essentially worthless for judging what's actually going on in China. They are fed a constant diet of lies, and unlike in other parts of the world their access to organised debunking of those lies is severely restricted. They can't even judge what's going on by measuring the opinion of those around them because the government subtly distorts that too (as seen by this article).
