>> I used to read about countries where it was a common practice to pay bribe money to be given a job

> For your first bit, do you mean things like fathers paying some shop owner some money to give their sons a chance at a job over some other kids that went through a hiring process, or do you mean things (still going on) like politicians backing certain regulations that just so happen to mightily benefit the corporation they become a highly paid member of when they lose their reelection or retire?

I assume he's talking about neither of those, but rather the common practice of buying a job for yourself. For example, you might go to a highly-placed English functionary with a big bag of cash and purchase a post as customs inspector for a port somewhere in the Empire. Historically this was more the norm than the exception in colonial Europe.

(Fun fact: the customs inspector position was generally a lot more expensive than notionally better jobs like "governor" (also for sale). That's because the customs inspector was ideally placed to take bribes himself.)

Calling the American healthcare system "free-market" is disingenuous at worse and hilarious at best. It's probably the most regulated and convoluted sector of the US economy. In contrast, the pet healthcare system in the US is much less regulated. As a result, getting care for my pets is so much easier to navigate (you can actually get price quotes!) and much multitudes cheaper than human healthcare, despite the similar medical procedures and training required of doctors.

Indeed aware of that loan. "Virtual indebtedness" in the sense that the amount was relatively small to the UK when it was eventually repaid, the terms of repayment were very generous, and the repayment itself was very much the fulfillment of a legal requirement, and not something anyone would think the US would have pressed if more time had been requested.

The interesting thing to consider is that although the repayment terms were generous given the general context of the Marshall Plan, the US should probably have had to go an extra mile given the UK's contribution of its Tube Alloys program [0]. This nascent R&D project was moved over to the US, expanded and upgraded - and nowadays we call it the Manhattan Project.

>Now I live in a country that buries its youth in debt that can't be discharged through bankruptcy, to pay for an increasingly ineffective education, to get a job almost anyone could do, that lists higher education as a requirement when it really doesn't have to.

You need to screen for at least a two year degree to get employees who are functionally literate for both reading and writing of moderate complexity.

There's a real steep capability slope in terms of education and information worker qualification. Most high school graduates or GED folks without specific education lack a good broad understanding AND lack vocational training. A previous employer had a specific mentorship program that had really good results with at-risk youth, but that required substantial investments in time and $.

Well, the remark about the acceptable format in the same definition from 1992 means that there's dynamic processing of the request, which may involve the document conversion at least. And it does not say "file", which means that there can be a database as a document storage. In 1999 the web was mostly dynamic (I myself was using PHP, Informix WebConnect, Java and C for web development by that time) and more abstract RFC 1945 came in 1996 (just 4 years later), 1 year after Amazon went online. The period of time, when GET could mean only "give me a file" was in fact very short, if ever existed.

Then, you write that Facade is "tightly coupled". In fact, it's not more coupled than any native messaging. Let's say, the client code wants an object, representing a coffee machine, to prepare latte with temperature about 40C. There are other things, that coffee machine can do (e.g. self-check), so you need to pass 3 facts to it: "prepare drink", "drink type is latte", "temperature is 50C". You indeed can send a message to this object, containing these 3 facts as message data. Or you can call a method "prepare" of API with 2 parameters. See, there's no difference in amount of information you use for this operation: either way, there are 3 facts, for which you use 2 different syntactic forms. Coupling by definition is amount of shared information about mutual state and behavior between components (number of facts fixed in interaction contract). Here it's the same.

With all that in mind, modern languages are so rich in syntax, that there's almost no use case for messages as the means of interaction between objects at this moment. When you mention reflection, I'd say it's not the same. You use reflection to discover the address of the routine to call (that is, do not rely on infrastructure for delivery), rather than deliver the message to the object so it could dispatch it itself. Well, of course, there's one remark - this depends on how you define the message. Reflective calls are late binding just the same way as dependency injection: in runtime some container or reflection API provides an address of the code, implementing given interface, that will be invoked. If reflection means messages, then DI means messages, then VMT means messages, then messages=methods and all this talk is about outdated definition of what everyone uses.

Web crawlers are a bit different story: search engines do not deal with objects, they always deal with documents, that do not expose any behavior. The only thing in the net that comes to my mind is the semantic web. There were talks about it in early 2000s, when there was a lot of hype about web services, runtime discovery, web ontology language etc, but it's now as dead as CORBA.

Good luck with your citizenship application and don't be put off, if you've been here since 2005 I'm sure it will be OK.
Or not having the 10000 feet outlook.

Checking some links to Kay's responses elsewhere, i get the impression that unless we basically toss the notion of a programs as a singular compiled file of binary, and replace it with some kind of abstract notion of work that can happen on a single computer, or across the net as a whole, the distinction between a message and a method is academic at best.

Because for message as a concept to make sense, it has to be seen as someone standing on a rooftop shouting "can someone please hit that nail?!", and then wait around until someone shouts back "done!".

Without that you just end up with a carpenter talking to himself "hit nail, done, hit nail, done, hit nail, done".
Are you really surprised that the when there are so many reports about immigrants causing problems for the countries that take them in? No one here wants an another Cologne.

And I find it really amusing that you talk about "united Europe" in the context of non-European immigrants. It is not okay for one country to cause a huge wave of immigration and then basically going "we can't take these people in so you have to and do it unconditionally" - which only encourages even more immigration.

If the market is doing stupid things, go make a killing. Until you've done so, you're really in no place to criticize the market.
I agree. I don't quite understand the dynamics of elections and voting but if a candidate looks like a bumbling idiot mixed with charisma and charm, it somehow resonates, at least in the UK and US.

Boris was this before being elected as mayor of London, somehow the image is perpetuated even now. In the run up to his mayoral elections his strong points were hardly discussed and his persona highlighted more than his abilities and skills. People perceiving him as a joke.

This is what eludes most and reinforces the notion that some of the electorate will purely vote on superficial terms.

He is absolutely manipulative and disingenuous who's riding on his buffoonish idiocy image.

I am unaware of anyone in any of the EU countries who support the death penalty nor capital punishment. It is overwhelmingly frowned upon. Now I admit I haven't asked everyone in every EU country. And I'm sure there are those in Central/Eastern Europe who still support it (I know life was especially brutal under the communist regimes).

Polls (until recently?) Which polls? I'm honestly curious.

Guess you haven't been following the violent protests and attacks on his supporters at the Trump rallies. I get it - many do not agree with Mr. Trump. Many times I smack my head at some of his comments.

That said, the key to a free society is peaceful exchange of ideas. Don't like his ideas? Great! Critique them! But the fundamental human rights guaranteed under the Bill of Rights include the right to assemble and speak freely. I would note that rallies to listen to the ideas of a presidential candidate are precisely the situations those who drafted the Bill and those who ratified it envisioned.

Let's leave the thugs out of the picture. If you want to protest, fine. Be peaceful and do impede the exchange of ideas from those who came to hear what the candidate said. You do not have to agree with anything you hear.
Sorry? I posted it here exactly once before, yesterday morning, and re-posted it because it didn't get any traction then. People seem to be paying more attention now, at any rate.

The problem there is not understanding the abstraction. That's a general problem of most abstraction layers, and the solution is not avoiding abstraction but using a good one and learning how it works.

Of course I realise lots of people will happily continue to use horrible ORMs and not learn how they work, but that's not a ORM specific problem.
Every time you raise minimum wage people lose jobs. You raise wages prices go up, prices go up people buy less. people buy less, you don't need as many people.
Because it completely opens up map geometry. New paths open up, and it makes landing shots on you harder. It lets you put yourself in an advantageous situation. Aim and situational awareness aren't the only aspects that matter in a 1v1 game. Because of that, I'd say it raises the skill ceiling in a very meaningful way. It can be hard to master, and it's not critical to understanding the map, but if you want to have real success, you need to be able to take advantage of the new paths that open up to you with bhopping.

It raises the amount of aim and situational awareness needed. And I'd say it does so in a fun way.
In modern enterprise programming message is very different concept (probably more widespread, if we'll look at popularity of Java and .Net, compared to Objective-C), which is not related to OOP. It's a pattern of integration, in which systems exchange with messages through a message broker, that abstracts them from each other. By their nature such messages are asynchronous and unidirectional.
Finland doesn't meet the 2% GDP requirement (neither does Greece, though) and isn't NATO member, but we are the one the very few EU countries that maintain a relatively large conscription based defence forces with relatively modern equipment.
Yes, the figures have been abused for years but it's still a huge distance from the 25% rate Greece has.

I should add I'm not a fan of what the Torries have been doing, I favour a larger state, it's the use of the term austerity I don't like.
Is message passing that you're referring to different than the Ruby concept of messages? Objects respond to messages in Ruby, and it is encouraged to think of it that way rather than calling functions.
The UK can inflate its debt away, that is always a nice option to have. Greece couldn't do that, and that was a major reason why it was being crushed.

I 'm afraid it is going to become a common trope to frame everything that happens from now on upon whether it "punishes" the UK or not. The EU is now an economic area that is much more aligned to be honest, and the UK is a competitor. E.g. the euro is now a direct competitor to the GBP. The strong EU countries have greater coordination , and i expect that they will use it to their benefit, with the weaker economies following them, not because they are afraid to leave, but because they believe its success as a more cohesive union.
Historically labour voting workers have been displaced from their jobs by low skilled immigrants. Don't just take my words for it:

https://medium.com/mosquito-ridge/brexit-wins-an-illusion-di...

"Britain has voted to leave the EU. The reason? A large section of the working class, concentrated in towns and cities that have been quietly devastated by free-market economics, decided they’d had enough.

[...]

Neither the political centre or the pro-remain left was able to explain how to offset the negative economic impact of low-skilled migration in conditions of (a) guaranteed free movement (b) permanent stagnation in Europe and (c) austerity in Britain.
"

Were you think physically displaced, rather than "taking over the role of" displaced?

That's one effect. How about "Raise wages - people have more money. They spend more - business expands. Business expands, they hire more. Jobs are created."

Both processes happen. And more. Its not simple. But its the right thing to do, to increase the standard of living for the most vulnerable among us.

Because it's part of the same deal. You can't take one part of the deal and refuse the other part. The EU is really not going to make a special exception on this for the UK. In fact, I think the time of special exceptions for the UK is over. The UK will have to learn to accept fair deals.

Borris and Farage said that £350m will go to the NHS.

"Let's give our NHS the £350 million the EU takes every week"

https://twitter.com/mgtmccartney/status/746245181532418048

"We send the EU £350 million a week

Let's fund our NHS instead"

The clear implication is that £350m per week is available, and that it will be spent on the NHS.

£350m is the gross figure, it ignores the > £200m per week we get back.

There is not going to be any increase in NHS funding. Anyone who voted leave because they thought there would be an increase in NHS funding hasn't been paying attention - the NHS has seen deep cuts in recent years and those are only going to get worse after Brexit.
Your characterization of conservatives as "fascist" or anti-democracy is an accusation without merit (as is the oft-made, and IMHO completely unjustified, comparison of Trump to Hitler).

As someone who grew up in the Rust Belt, I think #3 hits the nail on the head. For as long as I can remember, the area where I grew up has been struggling economically (it was hit hard by waves of factory closings starting in the 1980's). None of the politicians from either party seemed to care.

Now suddenly there's a politician who seems to care about this issue, has a real shot at being President, and is different enough from the usual run of politicians that he may be paying the issue more than lip service and may actually be able to effect change.

For a lot of people, this is a powerful motivation to get out and vote for him despite his obvious flaws, especially when his opponent is not only as "establishment" as they come, but her husband literally brought us NAFTA.

To (3) I would add a "prisoner's dilemma" dynamic -- theoretically it's better if every country "cooperates" and gives all their effort to putting the benefit of the world as a whole above the benefit of their country (that's the vision of globalization). But if some countries "defect" and focus on themselves first, then whoever "cooperates" feels exploited (and not wrongly so). A lot of people I know feel like some countries (especially China) are defectors in this game and we shouldn't be suckers, so despite the theory, the practical thing to do is look out for ourselves first.
From what I could see, you don't. Rather it seems like they're just putting the render on top of the video, which fully occludes the blackbird.
UCSB '12 here as well. I got a BSEE and I found the contrast between grades in lower division and upper division classes to be quite stark. In the lower division classes you could get away with anything - for example people cheated on their online physics and math homework so everyone did well. The classes were too large so the TAs grade everything, and it's much easier to convince a TA to give you more credit for something than it is a professor. The class size makes professors resort to things like iClickers for participation points and the online homework I just mentioned. It degrades the quality of education while also creating a system with more loopholes that smart people can exploit, since everyone is optimizing for grades in the end.

In upper division, the classes got considerably smaller and considerably harder. Grades meant more, and the system was not easily played. When you have a class of 20 you can't screw around anymore. You can't hide behind your TA. You get what you put in.

That's not to say I didn't have funky grade experiences in upper div too - I had one class series that actually had a serious grade deflation problem. The average on our second quarter final was 18.5%. In the end, if you tried hard and did well in the lab, your grade was basically a participation score. Now, I learned an enormous amount in that class because it was so hard. It was demoralizing at times because everyone though they were going to fail (I vividly remember contemplating my future during that final, wondering if I would ever pass that class). So in that case, grades didn't really matter.

Personally I think the solution comes with class size. Grades become inflated because as more people are managed by a professor and their TAs, the less careful they have to be while handing them out. There's too many exceptions and they can't spend all their time tracking down who is being truthful when they say their dog ate their homework or their roommates keep them up all night because they're drunk. It's much the same problem as large corporations have with employee performance scores - as the body you are judging grows, your criteria become much more generalized and the judges much more disconnected from those being judged.

Is that actually the case in practice? I haven't used Ruby enough to know, but my experience so far is that most of the time the approach is still mostly just plain method calling in practice. I vaguely recall Rails moving away from some usage of method_missing (which I'd argue is one explicit example of message passing vs method calling).

Honest question, btw, I really don't know.
