I was just at a show and I used my phone for two things:

1. finding where my friends were

2. yeah a video - but not to post on social media. it's my favorite band and to see them come back after a 5 year hiatus is a video i will watch over and over again. i keep all of my momentos and actually will cherish this video. not going to apologize for wanting to hold onto that moment past the concert
Does the US have some sort of sanctions against Venezuela? I'm not sure if we do or not, but I'm wondering if we do.
It will affect federal decisions in all jurisdictions unless there is a contrary/conflicting opinion from another appellate court. In that case, it would still be relevant but not controlling.
Graft, corruption, and mismanagement will ruin any system: capitalism, socialism, or communism (assuming we can even agree on the definitions of those systems).

I was sent this link but upon opening it I'm redirected to a page that says I am not permitted to view such. Can anyone explain to me why I was sent this and what it could potentially mean?
That's a false analogy.

Saying it's the programmer's fault is another circular argument. It is, only in languages that make it the programmer's fault, but I would say that it's actually the language designers' fault.
While the drought is not helping, there's no reason the country with the largest oil reserves in the world should have to shut down their economy in a drought; other counties have backup oil plants.

Mismanagement is why oil production drops every year and there is no refining capacity.

Unless your usage includes redistribution, GPL/BSD licensing differences have little effect on end-users.

Also, the definition of one license is "more free" than the other is completely subjective and is wholly dependent on the perspective of the licensee.
> in Rust... The extra complexity of such an API meant that this proposal was never really taken seriously,

In fact it looks like even standard indexes have been deprecated, in favor of Iterators over the string:

Iteration is better IMO.
Graft, corruption, and mismanagement == Socialism
You could easily make something like that. Half of an Ergodox would do the trick.
Not at all. The language/library impementor should handle the details. My example was the argument checking of the slice function.

And indexing by code points doesn't solve the problem either. The majority of programmers don't know what a grapheme is or how to collate or sort unicode strings.

When build tools run an uglifier on your code this is what the variables comes out as. Takes all your logically named variables and shortens them like a-z. They can make it "beautified" by un-minifying (not all on 1 line) but you can't get their original variables name without the original source.
This is akin to: scientists now know the head is actually connected to the rest of the body via the neck. I had trouble with my right ear for approx. 5yrs. Finally went to to the dr. because it got to the point the headaches made me want to shoot myself. Apparently the stapia (the thing that vibrates) became infected and essentially was dying inside my head. They replaced it with a titanium one and the only difference is the headaches stopped. I cannot stress enough how important it is to protect the health of ones body, even if it means physically moving to a healthier environ.
That's an awesome example! To show more of how it works for Western language speakers who might be confused, how about

c = "é"

c[0], c[1]

It's the same phenomenon with Latin characters. (Extra bonus: for me, the combining acute accent character then combines in the terminal with the apostrophe that Python uses to delimit the string!)

Another idea to see the effect is "a" + "é"[1]. (The result is 'á'... and as in your examples, a precomposed "̈́é" is also available which doesn't exhibit any of these phenomena.)
Players were very upset that everything they did was ranked and they couldn't just play for fun without it being rated. It was a jarring change at the time. There was at least 1 unofficial effort as well that met with a similar fate.
DevOps Library: What Is Continuous Integration?
One key to solarisation is to not turn over the soil after cooking the top layer. If you turn the soil, you bring dormant seeds to the surface where they can once again ruin your life.

If you did that properly and still got thistles, then we're doomed!

One thing to try might be two layers of clear plastic with air trapped between - maybe 15-20cm gap. That further raises the temperature of the soil underneath. It's a method used in greenhouses too.
This drives me crazy. The Win32 API was designed for UCS-2. Then UTF-16 came out and the API was shoehorned to use it but as you said they still haven't caught all the places where it still thinks it's UCS-2.
While I admire the original hijinks, I think you have a point. There's a difference between showing someone a funny picture, and picking the lock to their house so you can leave a copy of it in their underwear drawer.
In those situations, it would have been much more readable to have classFoo vs foo, foo() vs nonThreadSafeFoo(), etc.

The bigger point is that while you can come up with creative ways to take advantage of case-sensitivity, it's not that you would have missed it if the language was case-insensitive. From that point of view, case-sensitivity has no benefit, but only a cost: leads to irritating errors from the compiler, or runtime errors in dynamically typed languages.

If something has no benefit, and only a cost, we should get rid of it.
Bummer. He was perfect in that role. God bless him.
Mobilising a server doesn't simplify it.

If it's simple enough to be mobile, it's also simple enough to be static and self-hosted. And there are advantages to that.

Apparently when the hacking began it took all of 13 mins. to find the first hole. Sounds like fun actually.
It looks like you have to learn a new system for typing though.

And if you did make it wearable, you'd have to put a bunch of extra smarts into it to make sure you don't just start typing messages to people.
I'm not saying it's all roses. I'm talking about risk/reward.

I'm trying to compare it to the potential upside of any immigrant category. Entrepreneurs present some downside, but no more than any other visa/immigrant category. One heck of a lot more upside though, IMO.
No, it can't be a Debian-specific exception or it would violate #8 of the Debian Free Software Guidelines:

"five million Canadians do not have a family doctor as their first point of contact when they need to access medical care and of those people, almost two million reported they have tried to find a family doctor in the past year and failed. Even people who do have doctors are having trouble getting timely care"

read the article @refurb, information shows lack of primary medical care but why? cost, lack of GPs, remoteness and dispersion of patients? I know the US and Canada are both vast countries with unequal distribution of population. The root of inequity in Australia is cost, remoteness & dispersion of the population. Most live in the cities, in the bush you cop poor quality of access and service even though primary health care is mostly free (Medicare).
The result of price regulation is invariably shortages and gluts.
The two major problems right now are price controls and seizure of private property by the government. Price controls cause shortages, and if anyone does manage to bring good to market, the government seizes them.

It doesn't matter if Ghengis Khan becomes the leader of Venezuela.....if he fixes those two things, the economy will rebound quickly.
That gets us to 99% of what I had in mind, by preventing bugs like this one, but the remaining 1% is: why, then, generate an error when someone invokes a function while specifying a different case? If there's only one function, does the case matter?
It's worse. With UTF-8, if you're not processing it properly it becomes obvious very quickly with the first accented character you encounter. With UTF-16 you probably won't notice any bugs until someone throws an emoticon at you.
Ok so it's not just me then :)

Such a sad situation there. While traveling around latin America, especially Panama and Mexico, I met many Venezuelans who had left to find new lives. The stories they told of their families back in Venezuela were heartbreaking. It seems many of those with means to leave have already left. This also helps create a brain drain which further increases the problems there.

All of us in the developed world need to study and educate others on what the policies in Venezuela have done (no, it wasn't the weather, the evil corporations, oil prices or whatever other excuse of the week they claim). We need to ensure other countries do not go down this route.

Especially concerning to me is the popular support of Chavez/Maduro and these policies:

Jeremy Corbyn, Britain's Labour party leader tweeted: "Thanks Hugo Chavez for showing that the poor matter and wealth can be shared. He made massive contributions to Venezuela & a very wide world"(1)

In Spain, a political party gaining major support helped create the disastorous policies in Venezuela (2)

Please, those of you who support these types of policies - educate yourself on their effects. And take a look at the reverse, how well the average Chinese person has done as their economy has gone from control to free enterprise (3).

People vote with their feet. How many Panamanians and Mexicans are emigrating to Venezuela? How many people moved away from the special economic zones in China? How many of the desperate poor in Florida take rafts to go to the communist paradise of Cuba?

Its mostly about concurrency, sqllite serialises all writes, for an embedded database in a single user application that is ok, but for a web application that may have a lot of concurrent writes going on its a performance disaster area. Note that for good perfomamce on a write heavy web application even mysql can be a problem unless you use innodb. As myisam has the same write table locking behaviour.

Socialism requires that the government has more resources and thus more power. Therefore socialist governments are more likely to become corrupted and mismanaged.
"That might just be human pattern matching at work, rather than actual similarities."

In many cases there are actual similarities. Waves appear everywhere because wherever you see a -d^2 x over d^2 t, you get waves. Explosions happen at many scales because wherever you get an exothermic reaction that makes itself happen faster you get an explosion. As the article itself says:

"Because they are made of a water-loving and water-repelling layer sandwiched together, their interactions with a watery environment make them self-assemble into the spaghetti- and lasagna-like structures known as endoplasmic reticulum,"

where you get two things that attract and repel in the same way as fats and water, you get characteristic shapes. Many similarities aren't just visual, they really do represent underlying similarities in the relevant processes.

"If intelligent creatures existed that were built out of magnetic field lines in the Sun, or variations in density in the interstellar medium, we might never recognize them as life, and they might never recognize us."

Life needs to be able to expel entropy faster than the environment jams it in, or it isn't life anymore. It is very likely that nothing can possibly live in a star, because entropy is getting jammed in to every cubic centimeter pretty hard. Interstellar-medium-based life has the problem that it must necessarily interact multiple orders of magnitude more slowly than Earth life because all of its components are much more separated and it has the same speed-of-light limits as our biochemistry has, so even if it somehow overcomes the problem that having complex, information-processing-capable structures that function without chemistry (to a first approximation, the interstellar medium is a tiny puff of hydrogen gas) doesn't seem possible with just gravity, from its point of view the universe is probably too young to even have the initial life form, to say nothing of the fact that on that time scale, the interstellar medium is constantly getting stirred up by things.
Nurx is the one that ships directly to the customer, and the drugs still come from local pharmacies[1]. They're probably connecting the pharmacies to the users with some third-party, last-mile delivery service.

I agree; no checksumming of user data is very disappointing. If there were performance issues, they could build checksumming into the filesystem, but make it a volume-specific option. No checksumming on the watch, strong integrity guarantees on the Mac Pro.

Their filesystem goals are in some ways consistent with Apple's (marketing) vision: Users would never have terabyte libraries of anything, as the various iServices would (should) be hosting that stuff in the cloud (where one presumes it is stored on a filesystem that actually includes data integrity). Since users won't be storing much of anything locally, Apple needn't care too much about data integrity. This is of course, nonsense.

The idea that Apple's storage devices are error-free is arrogant--but even assuming that were true, there can still be bit errors in the SATA/PCI bus, errors in memory, race conditions, gamma rays, etc. Apple uses ECC memory on their Mac Pro, so obviously someone still believes that sort of thing is possible.
Do you have personal evidence of a good exit leading to an EB-1? You would think it would, but that category seems difficult for entrepreneurship/business.
the complaint actually seems to be "other people don't share my goals

I guess. But i think what he is driving at is, in data driven world, we can lose sight of bigger picture ie in quest for test scores we can unreasonably stress kids out, in quest for profits we can shit on employees and the environment, etc.

Just taking the last point, people generally like parks and nature. What person would say "oh yes id love to pollute my closest river?"

but then suppose you ran a factory on a river, and it would cost your company 90% of profits to dispose of your factory's waste in an environmentally sound way, and you are measured on how much profits you bring in. Or you can dump in the river for free.

Would you choose to dump your waste into the river? I think most people would.
I consider changing a glyph to some other glyph(s) as corruption. Take an emoji flag character as an example. Split it between the code points and you end up with two boxed letters.

If you chop in the middel of a code unit then you end up with U-FFFDs. In both cases the visual representation has been altered.

As I wrote elsewhere it is easy for the slice routines of a language to check to see if the programmer tried to slice in the middle of a code unit and either return an error or just advance to the start of a code unit.
I wasn't aware of --reflink either, apparently support is coming to XFS as well (at some point): https://pkalever.wordpress.com/2016/01/22/xfs-reflinks-tutor...
Without having read the article I would surmise it has a lot to do with the diurnal phase of the earth which we are physically bound to. As well, sleeping allows the attention of the physical body an opportunity to let go just long enough to enter into the universal spirit body. Highly recommended. There is nothing quite like absolute zero gravity. Better than sex ever could be. I would love it if people I talked to could have conversations thus. Ergo the net.
In game development it tends to help solve some common problems.

Games need a lot of iteration, C++ compile times can easily get very long i.e. minutes. You might object that compile times should never be long: "oh this never happens if you do X or Y" but in reality every C++ gamedev shop I've worked at has had long compiles times. Templates and other things of that nature tend to bloat it.

Anyway so reflection helps with:

- Hot-reloading code
- Tweaking reflected values at runtime
- Exposing functions for scripting languages (without having to write lots of repetitive boiler plate code)
- Saving / Loading

(And networking but that's not something I've experimented with personally!)
Depending on how it's implemented, at least for games, it's worth it.
I can recommend someone I've met a few times, but didn't end up pursuing an EB-5.

Bear in mind that these projects are often not funded through traditional means and ergo are more risky.
Lol. Don't tell the NSA that, or the FBI, or DHS or the NYPD or the latest "Cyber Threat Intelligence Integration Center". Everyone says "cyber" is their thing. They all fight for dollars. The reality is that most of them do nothing more than defend themselves as would any other large organization.

We don't always pick the best replacement titles; "Apple doesn’t understand photography" is such outrageous clickbait that perhaps we overcompensated.

I don't think "Apple is stuck in the past" would be much better, but if you want to suggest an accurate, neutral title, we'd be happy to change it again.

Interesting article. For anyone working with Google's Cloud Platform, there are definitely changes happening both in product and culture.

As a company that's used all the major clouds and vendors out there (AWS, Azure, Softlayer, GCP, Internap), Google's has been the best so far with simple fast tech that works. They are clearly behind in features and breadth of offering but I agree with Diane's statements that the underlying tech is just better. Quizley has a good article recently that goes into more detail which is what we saw as well. [1]

I do wish the GCP team was easier to reach though. They have lots of engineers and PM's who are active on social media and discussions forums and such but it feels like things are too "informal" in conversations right now. It's nice to see everyone passionate about helping on their own time but AWS has them beat on the vast amount of help and resources they pour into getting clients of all sizes onboarded quickly. I'm guessing that will change soon enough with all the hiring at Google.

1. https://quizlet.com/blog/whats-the-best-cloud-probably-gcp
This is probably some kind of GCP PR's placed article, but regardless, Greene's impact on GCP has been incredible and highly visible.

Previously, the standard arguments that I've seen in sales conversations were that GCP wasn't enterprise ready or serious enough. All of that disappeared in the last 6 months.

Yes, GCP is still small compared to Google (or AWS) at $400M/yr revenue. Yes, AWS still "gets" enterprise better than GCP.

And yes, GCP is back in the cloud infrastructure game and will give AWS and Microsoft a run for their money.
A simple label like "socialism" is inadequate to explain what is going on in Venezuela or in any other country. Is much better to drill into the details of "poor leadership" and "failed government institutions". All states have these issues to various degrees. In Venezuela they are problems broad and deep.
> Also, the definition of one license is "more free" than the other is completely subjective and is wholly dependent on the perspective of the licensee.

That is just false. BSD has fewer restrictions. GPL has more restrictions. No subjective interpretation needed.
Price control kills the market. As happened in Venezuela. Not draught or low oil price. But the article hasn't covered this point enough.

At high inflation rate and frozen price of commodities and food, traders are forced to sell bellow cost. Which leads to business closure, leading to shortage.
Why should it crash? The proper procedure when validating a UTF-8 string is to replace errors with U+FFFD.

A possible theory about what happened
1)
The issue is about using the trademark.
You can't use the trademark "Ubuntu" on your website without being a partner.
To become a partner you have to pay. For Ovh it's 1Me/year.

2)
Once you are a partner, you are on this page:
http://partners.ubuntu.com/find-a-partner
Once you are a partner, you can copy the images and use them to setup automaticly a VM with saying "It's Ubuntu".

3)
If not, you can't copy the images. You can't annonce you propose Ubuntu.
Your customers are still able to download the images from Ubuntu.com and setup a VM with.
But you can't do that for your customers since you can't use the trademark.

4)
Google didn't propose Ubuntu during the years. Then they pay.
The same for all others: AWS, Dreamhost, Azure, etc
Now, Ovh and Digital Ocean have to decide if they will pay or not.
and in 3 months or more, they will contact the others.

5)
Ovh has no issue to be a partner and sponsor Ubuntu like they sponsor Letsencrypt, Grsecurity, and others.
Just in this case, we don't talk about helping Ubuntu. It's just business. 1Me/year it's business.
That's why Ovh asks theirs customers if they are want to pay or they don't want.
There is no additional value. It just allows you to get VM with Ubuntu in 30 seconds like today.
If they don't want to pay, the customers will have to download the Ubuntu's image and setup it himself: 9-10 min
Or setup Debian, Fedora, OpenSuse or others > 60 distributions
Ovh can rename "Ubuntu" to "Freedom" and propose "Freedom" distribution.
But they can't announce they propose Ubuntu.
