The author (me) isn't dismissive; he's skeptical. Siracusa did a great job of upbeat, critical, accurate reviews. Conversely, the coverage of APFS has been inane. A video, a PDF, and some high level docs were shuffled and reworded; that's not a review. Tech journalists live in a tough world where the details are obscure and hard to evaluate with deadlines that are becoming ever shorter and a reward system that values views over depth. My skepticism was meant to counterbalance the fluffy, fawning tone of what I had seen.

I stood around with Giampaolo, Tamura, and other Apple folks. I had a significant leg up on journalists; I know the subject well and the Apple folks know and respect me based on technology I've worked on. (And they didn't kick me out when I revealed that I didn't actually have a conference pass). I knew (some of) the questions to ask, and they were remarkably open with their answers.

But what's the alternative? Without a government of national unity, stepping up to become prime minister doesn't look like a smart career move at all. I see this eventually (but hopefully soon) going to elections.

I guess the best (or rather, least bad) possible follow-up would be that some parties put "we won't follow the outcome of the referendum" as #1 issue in their campaign, with those parties getting a decent majority (2/3 or more) of votes that way. That would be bad for the UK (they would lose negotiation power with the EU, as their continuous threat of leaving would have lost credibility), but probably not as bad as Scotland breaking of the UK.

An alternative would be to have new parties pop up playing the "we won't leave" card, and getting reasonable support. That is unlikely in Britain's first past the post system, though.

And of course, for both options, it probably must go bad for the UK soon for large amounts of pro-brexit voters to change their minds.

Edit: reading http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/26/i-cannot-stress-t..., it seems Boris is maneuvering to get the PM post in such a way it won't be poisonous for him. I don't see how the EU would accept the "we are leaving, but want to keep all the table silver" kind of divorce that he is advocating, though. Yes, as Switzerland and Norway show, you can get some of the EU niceties without being part of the EU, but that doesn't mean you can cherry-pick what you want (for example, Switzerland is fairly tied to the EU https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switzerland–European_Union_r...)
There really is no point in using Facebook, other than get the stuff other people post on it because they are there. You don't use facebook because your friends aren't there and you don't use facebook because you 'like' it. It's the same with messaging systems, phones, civilization in general: you do it because enough people in your life are there and only there. If all the people I ever wanted to communicate with were outside the city on a farm or something like that, I'd move there. Or if they only use email and IRC, then I'd only need those. But the fact is that many groups are only adressable on one platform, some only on facebook, others only on whatsapp, and others only on IRC. Sure, there is overlap, but that doesn't mean dropping 30% of the people you know from digital communications, just because they use some evilCorp software doesn't work. Migrations do happen from time to time, for example, there used to be MySpace, and in The Netherlands, there was Hyves, and before those, there was MSN and email. All of them, except for email just slowly died, or the critical mass of people you want to communicate with are no longer there. For me, the 'critial mass' of people on Twitter, Instagram, SnapChat etc is never reached. So far, there are maybe 5 or 6 people that are on those systems that I might be remotely interested in, but it's not enough to actually act on. And just like Facebook, those are just 'as bad' (some are Facebook-owned of course). I've also had people move away from WhatsApp to Telegram, and from Telegram to some other messaging system. Still, it's no critical mass on Telegram for me to use it, just like Skype. Doesn't matter if they are 'good' or 'evil'.

So while having an opinion or knowing some service or knowing some company is evil, isolating yourself from the rest of the world (or just the friends and their preferred communications) isn't going to work, at least not for me. Making sure you don't put information there that you don't want to be there is about as good as it gets.

This is the sweet spot of ORMs. A team lead early in my career wrote a tool that read the database schema and generated all the marshaling code at the application layer. We got a degree of type safety and relief from a lot of boilerplate code but no promises of automatically generating SQL or abstracting away the database schema, etc. It worked so well that I wrote one from scratch in another language a decade later for another database-backed application.
Most grocery stores with a reputation for being expensive or upscale actually have list prices on comparable goods to "cheaper" stores, but carry a preponderance of more expensive products that the cheaper stores don't carry at all.

(This is for general chain grocery stores; independent and ethnic stores don't necessarily follow the danger pattern.)

Important to note: the argument in this case is not "the museum owns the original artwork, thus it can stop people from freely licensing their photos of it", but "the museum owns the rights on the photo, and can decide if it releases it to the public domain or not". It's not about the rights of the owner of the artwork, but about the rights of the owner of the photo.

Photographs have a slightly elevated standing in German law, with lower demands on creativity to get protection, and I'll assume that's the way the court got to this decision. We'll see if it survives in front of higher courts. I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't.

In your transcriber example (assuming transcriptions and photographs would follow the same rules, which they don't), the transcriber would have the rights to his/her transcription, but couldn't stop anybody else to transcribe the same PD work and release their transcription.

I agree with wikipedia that this question shouldn't have come up, because I'd prefer if public museums were required to release such photos under some kind of free license, although I'd be fine with restrictions for commercial use.
Works great for me (OS X/Chrome). Very nice job all around.
This is case and point what I indicated above. Bizarre assertions and analogies that don't even attempt to explain why it is bad.

I am having trouble finding out legitimate answers to why this is actually heralded as a catastrophicly bad move:

> "Hi, I drank some poison and you're the only person that sells the antidote, What kind of deal can you give me on that?"

Doesn't really cover it. I guess it could be translated to, there is a mismatch in leverage for trade negotiations and GB will need the EU much more than they need it, thus weakening their position.
That use of multiple partitions I think qualifies as uncommon which is not to suggest that it's not useful.

Reversal test: In a world where people didn't get old, would they decide to invent aging? I'm certain they wouldn't.

I totally agree that there are disadvantages to indefinite lifespans. It's just that those disadvantages are overwhelmed by the fact that aging kills 100,000 people every day. And it's not just that people die, it's that they spend decades becoming frail and less capable. They can't enjoy as many things as they used to. Their vision, hearing, and even their minds fail them.

If we lived in a world without aging, only a sadistic monster would want to inflict such suffering on others.
Are you implying that the US military is morally repugnant?
And that the "Leave" campaign seriously did not expect to win and had literally no plan for winning. They certainly didn't expect Cameron to go "you know what, bugger this." Hence Johnson and Gove's faces on Friday morning.

Since the queries only get re-used per connection IIRC, that's moot for my case (personal derpy CMS) anyway, since they all just get used once per request, anything loopish is admin-related and fast enough anyway.

What really bugged me though was the idea of having to repeat the decision logic that determines what the query ends up being twice... though I just realized that putting name/value pairs into an array while building the query, and then using that when the query is built to bind them to it, is probably fine.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/26/the-eu-will-treat... (The Telegraph is a right wing paper that backed Brexit)
The positive things that could happen are all European - that is the rest of Europe could take this as a wake up call and start dismantling the "bureaucracy" and giving member states electorate more direct access to decisions. This is apparently being talked about (cf Politico)

But there is almost nothing positive UK can do. All our moves depend on others. Negotiating treaties with EU, India, cutting immigration, introducing trade barriers. All of it we cannot unilaterally do without breaching serious treaties with serious consequences.

And you don't do that without a clear mandate. And we don't have one.

We are likely to have to have another referendum or general election just to discover what the plan actually is. I mean did the British electorate just vote for sending home immigrants now? For reducing net migration to 10,000 pa? To erecting tariffs on Steel imports? How the duck does one ask that of an electorate? Ballot papers would look like crossword puzzles.

Nothing discussed in the election actually represented the serious expectation they would win. And now they did.

Chances are high Boris will turn round tomorrow and prevaricate. "Not turning out backs on Europe"

And this will tear the right wing apart. A large chunk of voters thought we were really leaving the EU, actually going. This time Farage will be able to convert those people into MPs in the inevitable general election.

And we will have a three way split in the right wing - remain camp, Boris leave and Farage leave, probably sharing 1/3 of the middle and right wing. Add the SNP in and a weaker labour and there will be six or so parties none of whom are strong enough and no tradition of coalition.

This power vacuum will last for years.
"Foreigners have a different culture that I don't like, so I'm going to keep all of them out" seems like a pretty racist statement to me. You have to do some serious mental gymnastics to not make it so. For example, substitute "Jews" for "foreigners," and it's clearly an anti-Semitic statement.

Is a complex situation. The "United States of Europe" idea is basically oppossite and a menace to european monarchies. Some of the more reluctant countries to adopt the euro have kings or queens; and maybe this played a role in the brexit. In the current big plans for the eurozone, European kings will become quickly useless. (Why would be necessary to keep such thing like a "King of Alabama" or a "Queen of New York"?). The Queen of England probably knows it, and wouldn't be much excited with the idea of helping the same european burocrats that would be glad later to menace her power.
I see it more as the right finally being able to put together a coherent identity politics strategy. I think it has little to do with the ideology much to do with strategy.
Don't know about the parent, but I always felt that stored procedures end up by incorporating a good share of the business logic, extracting it from the main code of the application. This creates a messy situation in which you have your business logic split up between two completely separate and different systems, one of which (the stored procedures) is much harder to read, write, maintain and test.
That said, I also deeply hate ORMs, I much prefer to use thinner layer to interface with a database (query builders and row mappers).
* Because "leave" involves untangling the UK from the EU, which is ridiculously more complicated than never having joined at all.

* Because Scotland overwhelmingly voted "Remain", and are already talking about another independence referendum so they can stay in Europe.

* Because a large chunk of the "Leave" voters (I don't have percentages, I expect they'll show up soon) are regretting it already. They're the dogs that chased a car and caught it and don't know what to do.

* Because everyone who has any idea what "leave" would imply thought it was such a bad idea that they didn't take the idea seriously.

* Because the "Leave" campaign didn't expect to win and had (seriously) no plan at all for how to achieve this.

* Because everything the "Leave" campaign promised was literally lies, and now they have to explain this to the people who voted their way.

* Because David Cameron originally said that if "leave" won, he'd invoke Article 50 the next day - and instead, he went "you know what? bugger this" and resigned, punting it to whichever unlucky bozo takes over as Tory leader and will thus be personally responsible for visiting a disaster upon the UK.

* Because all of the details of the above, and plenty more besides. It's a cluster of clusterfucks, each of which contains another, smaller, clusterfuck.

Great read, thanks very much
Registering a copyright? Is that something you can do in Germany? I thought that was something that existed only in the United States, and only a long time ago.
I see this as terrible for the UK for various reasons. First, there's the economic reasons. They used to be one of the largest economies in the EU and could have (if they wanted) a lot of influence. Many companies used the UK as a beachhead into the EU - most notable financial institutions which benefited from passporting (only having to follow UK regulations for financial products) and Chinese investors that used the ties between UK and Hongkong as a springboard. The UK economy was very focused on delivering services to the EU. The UK also imports substantial amounts of food from the EU. They're not going to starve on their little rock, but tomato prices are expected to rise. There's also not much left of the good old british industry.

They basically fall out of all trade deals. They don't have a substantial amount of trade negotiators on staff any more and all of a sudden they'll have to renegotiate all deals in a two-year time span or fall back on basic WTO terms. They also lost a lot of weight in these negotiations. Where before they were members of one of the largest markets they're now still a large economy, but all of a sudden 5/6th smaller.

The worst consequences I see on the political front: The government unraveling, the brexit supporters without a plan of how to continue or even what goal they're actually fighting for (EEA membership, wing it alone). The opposition falling apart. Nobody know what'll happen to Nothern Ireland since the peace agreement is governed and supported by EU law. Also, the irish border would be an EU outer border, passport checks and all. The only party with a plan are the Scots, and their plan is to leave the club and run. The campaign was divisive with an MP being shot. Open racism is surging upwards - there have been attacks against the polish cultural center that was instituted for the polish war veterans that were part of the Air Battle for Britain.

And all of that for a power struggle between Cameron and Johnson. This is why it's bad.
Cameron leaving was a poison pill - whichever idiot takes over as Tory leader will be faced with having this blitheringly stupid idea attached to their name forever, or torpedoing themselves out the gate by not going forward with it.

(What will actually happen is some glib fool will come forward who actually thinks it's a good idea. They're not short on those.)

I really, really like the concept, but I strongly dislike the syntax. Excessive punctuation is the enemy of code readability.

Someone need to make lisp without the parentheses, where scoping can also be managed by indentation like in python. Throw in some strong imperative programming so that it's a lisp masquerading as C (because purism sucks), and you'd have one very powerful language
"As we age, we get more and more set in our ways"

I think that is caused by we know the end of life is closer. We do not want to take the effort to change. If we know we will live forever or much longer, I think we are more apt to be flexible and change.
> Because a large chunk of the "Leave" voters (I don't have percentages" are regretting it already.

Clearly those people exist, but is there really any reason to think they are "a large chunk"? It's possible, but I would be surprised if millions of people had done a complete political U-turn overnight.

I also do think putting too much logic in stored procs is a danger, and was/is a scourge for some shops. But was curious if that is the primary objection.
Very curious given that the UK, which has always taken a maximalist view on this, quietly rowed back last year and said that maybe it doesn't create a new copyright after all.
