Those are two different bindings. That is,

fn main() {
let x = true;
{
let x = false;
}
}

Since you don't use let for assignment, it's a non-problem. And it can be useful when you're doing some computation where you want to keep intermediate variables (for debugging or clarity), and rather than think of the proper name for each, you just successively bind the same name.

Digital entropy.

Preserving order requires constant energy investment.

Just an analogy, but I find it useful.
The EU membership will most likely come with a change of currency, which means leaving the BoE for the ECB. Given the ECB's track record and it's inability to do what a central bank ought to do - protect banks from bank runs, devalue, etc. - I believe that it's suicidal. The QE was was a joke.

Surplus recycling is nowhere to be found in the European Union, vis-a-vis Germany Scotland will have deficit, hence it's doomed in the long run to become like Greece.

The way the EU manages the economy, it's stupid for any deficit country to come in and compared to Germany, everybody will be in huge deficit in the long run. At that point you depend on the Bundesbank to over-value and the German government to raise salaries. None of this will happen, at that point you'll have a country on it's knees depending on a foreign institution (the ECB) who is controlled by a foreign nation which has it's own interests to protect.

I'm sorry for GB. I'm sorry that a nation had to go through this, but their best bet is to stick together.

EDIT: The first thing that the German gov did after Brexit says a long shot about how Germany envisions Europe: They summoned the 6 (or 7) countries that created the European Union. But the EU has 27 members now.

Do you really want to be part of a union who doesn't give a damn about you and give your monetary policy to that union?

About 16 years ago, at her last speech, M. Thatcher in a rare moment of enlightenment said about the EUR: He who control the interest rates controls the Economy and he who controls the economy controls the politics in Europe

She was spot on.
It was well counted. That's not going to change things.
Simply put, London hands over money to the EU which hands most of it back to regions that London wouldn't have handed the money to in the first place (Scotland, North of England, Wales...somewhat ironically since many of them voted leave..).

I think the reason we are no longer part of the EU is in part bad PR on the part of the EU on what it actually did.

Which is why "what is the EU/what does the EU do" type queries have trended on google after the referendum.

People suddenly wondering how fucked/non-fucked we are since the result.

Then look at all the greeks who didn't pay their taxes and the politicians who flat out lied to get the Euro, then pocketed billions while the country slowly went over the edge...

It's nothing like the UK.

Although maybe letting them out of the Euro would be a good thing, but apparently there's no mechanism for that.
This is exactly how secession should work. Clearly the Scots and the English and Welsh have different opinions on being part of the EU. It is tyrannical for either group to force their preference on the others.

So let Scotland secede and join the EU. Problem solved, human freedom and happiness maximized.

That's why I would recommend to read also "JavaScript: The Good Parts" (book, 2008) by Douglas Crockford. It covers (what is nowadays known as Javascript 1.5) and highlights the good parts of the language.
Comparing a mutual union with the Nazi third Reich comes across as just racist, particularly against Germans. Is that what you intended?

Also, the UK has negotiated many concessions over the years, including the rebate, various exemptions and vetos including from the ever-closer union and the euro. So a less good deal as the result of a total renegotiation we initiated is not so much a punishment as a reflection of the reality of the prior concessions.

There is of course realpolitik in the desire to ensure we have a less good deal and are seen to suffer by other countries to discourage other leaves, but I think that will come naturally from the factors above anyway.
The petition was set up before the first brexit vote. It's just people are voting for it now.

What if after seeing the results, plunging markets, Farage admitting the £350m to the NHS thing was BS, Calais saying they'll move the refugee camps to the UK by refusing to allow the UK border control to operate in France, there is now a majority wanting to remain? Should they ram through the exit against the public wishes because they were successfully conned in the first referendum?

As kabes pointed out above, there are more exceptions than the ones you mention. Don't forget bind, call/apply, strict mode, and arrow functions.

"this" is just a reference to the function context. Function context has a strong definition in programming languages. Saying that it's the stuff to the "left-of-dot" modulo a bunch of exceptions is sort of missing the forest for the trees, in my opinion.

Left-of-dot is a great way to introduce the concept but function context is so much more than just that.

>I agree that isolation is good, but spinning up a VM while developing each project is massively overkill.

It is a little, but I've found that running headless (and no reason not to) drops this overhead considerably. And with 4 cores, 16GB memory and SSD, I hardly notice it.

Also modern containers like Dockers can drop the overhead to almost zero -- though I haven't really tried them to see how comfortable they are to work with.

Besides, if you natively run e.g. node, postgres, some work queue, etc, you're still gonna get the overhead on your host from those processes.

Nix sounds nice, but as you say you still want to spin some VM to know it all works in the final deployment setup. Not sure about your last suggestion "Nix can handle that for you too", will have to check Nix out more.
(removed inaccurate post)
I studied math (BSc only, not PhD), and IMO that's not quite how math works.

You can define a^x or 0^x by its algebraic properties only for rational numbers (i.e. fractions). In algebra, it makes sense that 0^0 = 1, but that won't allow you to plot 0^x as a function.

To plot it as a function, you need to define it for all real numbers, which, AFAIK, you need to do analytically:

1. First, define e^x as the limit (1 + x/n)^n as n goes to infinity (n is a natural number, so this definition uses the standard algebraic exponentiation).

2. Then, you define ln(x) as the reverse of e^x (after proving that e^x is monotonous and continuous).

3. Then, define a^x as e^(x * ln a).

4. Then, 0^x is defined as a^x as a -> 0, which is 0 for x > 0. In the same way, you can see that x^0 is 1 for x > 0. Therefore, there is no "correct" (analytically) result for 0^0 (i.e. such that would make the function f(x, y) = x ^ y continuous at (x, y) = (0, 0)).
The way I would use this test: See each dualism as a continuous dimension. Reflect where I probably fall on each dimension at this time. Think and point out where I would like to fall. Personally I'd prefer to fall on the middle of each dualism. This gives me some hints what in my personality needs to change first if I greedyly want to optimize.
It would be more fair to hold a referendum in England whether it should be united with Scotland. Would be more productive for Scotland's independence.
Very useful indeed when you want a canonical or corrected (or otherwise "improved") version of a value and want to make sure that the original can't accidentally be used in what follows (which can be a hard to detect bug).
All open-source software has a cost. Here's a nice summary of where it shows up:

My favorite part is this quote: "Hardware was a bit of a surprise, frankly. It's clearly a lot of money, but even doubling the utilization had a tiny impact compared to helping people get work done."

That's right. People in business, IT teams prefer to get shit done over see some utilization numbers go up. That they were surprised by this shows a disconnect from reality. Especially given all the cloud marketing talks about helping one get stuff done by focusing on core business instead of IT infrastructure. Double fail.
AFAIK travel without passport in Scandinavia ended with the current refugee crisis.
That's disingenuous and you know it.

One of the main attractions of London as a banking centre is its EU membership. Sure, there are others, but it seems extremely likely that companies will relocate because they judge access to the EU market as more important.
Yes, the results are the same for 0^f(x) where f(x) is any monotonic function with f(0)=0.

I dare say the same is true of software engineering. I, nominally a backend engineer, know (and apply) more about HTTP than most front-end devs and architects I've met, simply because I sat down one day and read the HTTP spec. (It's not a difficult read!)

"...it's not the software that rots but instead the users and/or organization that decays."

Orgs decay, sure.

But I believe the OC's point was that orgs become more brittle over time as they specialize. Conway's Law would suggest that software architecture mirrors org structure, so it too would become more brittle.

Applicable cliches: "victim of one's own success", "the complexity catastrophe".

Going the full meta here, I'm okay with the death-rebirth cycle for orgs. Yes, a lot of knowledge (experience) is lost. But forgetfulness is also crucial for learning, adaptation.

For laypersons http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2877547/Why-C...
I can confirm this state of things. The payment is indeed very low throughout German companies.

For an outsider to come to Germany and attempt to set up a life there from scratch, they would need at least 60-70K (for medium towns) and at least 80-90K for places like Munich, Stuttgart or Frankfurt, probably even more. These are the numbers from several years ago, today everything has become much more expensive. And for a family person even more than that.

Speaking from experience, I lived and worked in Germany for several years, and eventually I had to leave. One of the main reasons was the low payment, I was basically struggling to make the ends meet (with my modest salary of only 40K). In the end I decided I had better things to do with my time and returned home. I am aware of other people who finished their studies, had a look at the local job market, did the math and didn't even bother to try things out.

The other reason that pushes talent away from the German market is lack of recognition. There is some unhealthy division of labor that is prevalent in German companies. Basically, native Germans are deemed to be the brain center of the entire operation and foreign specialists are regarded as grunt workers who have little say in the process or influence over things (as well as practically no opportunities to rise up in the ranks). I can't see any real talent being enticed by this general framework.

As a resume, German companies need to pay much better and need to open up to other people and other cultures, if they want to become a real startup hub. You can't build a rich and vibrant place full of progressive ideas around a close-minded mentality and with people trying to survive on a diet. With the present state of things, they might trick some talent into joining on a case-by-case basis but most likely that relationship will not last.

Do I count myself as a talent? I really can't say. I'm an educated person (I have both Russian and German academic degrees), also enthusiastic and entrepreneurial type, full-stack developer, I can do complete projects and have ideas of my own which I've been trying to turn into my own products. I suppose I could have contributed a lot in a receptive environment, but my experience was that nobody really needed any unsolicited input or contribution, you just implement the things as you're told and the thinking is done by the other guys. So I took my ideas elsewhere.

This all truly is a shame, because on the whole Germany is a fantastic country with lots of nice and smart people. Yet there are certain [mental] barriers that prevent it from becoming something more. I very much hope people eventually remove those obstacles and then the IT industry will begin to flourish in Germany.

And yes, Berlin really is a cool place to live in. If it were to become a startup hub, then it would be just awesome.

> "If you're of the view that, 'The old aren't going to be around forever,' then there's some truth in that," said Page. "But your vote isn't weighted on how old you are."

Why not have a formula to weight votes based upon the expected lifespan impact they'll have? It gives the young more skin in the game and arguably any long term changes (ex: Brexit) will impact them more.

Could use something like MAX((LIFE_EXPECTANCY - SUFFRAGE_AGE - AGE) / (LIFE_EXPECTANCY - SUFFRAGE_AGE), .25). That would give an 18 year old a full vote and someone who's 75 a quarter of one. To make things even more fun, you should get a full vote for each tax dependent minor (i.e. one for each child under 18).

The primary reason I can see this never happening is that baby boomers suck and would fight tooth and nail against anything that removes their chokehold on political systems.
Quite the case. One of the key reasons that the Scottish referendum in 2014 was not won was because of uncertainty about continued EU membership and the currency that the country would use.

To make that decision and less than two years later be dragged out of the EU anyway has pissed off a bunch of people. Lots of noise coming from former 'no' voters and media about how they feel misled. And now that Scotland has resoundingly - 24% margin! - voters to remain in the EU, it seems there is a bit of a mandate.

I am not enjoying the atmosphere here at the moment. This whole thing has been a colossal fuckup which has permanently damaged the UK.
Actually, Simpson in his "you don't know JS" series of books makes a statement against "Javascript: the good parts". The main argument is that it's actually "Javascript: the easy parts". So crockford basically says "Just don't use the things most people find confusing when starting with JS". Instead, Simpson argues it's better to understand the language thoroughly so you can use all of its features to your advantage.

Chavs are stupid and ignorant indeed (and fuck the lefties who dare not to agree). And this stupidity came very handy to the Tory elite, idiots are so easy to manipulate.

EDIT: also, being a chav is not about a background, it's a conscious choice of a cultural affiliation.
Think of your personality a barren landscape, which starts out with very, very minor depressions and irregularities. These depressions and irregularities might so so small they're not even be perceptible to the average person walking across it. Over many years, rain will erode these minor features into gullies, and if conditions are right, you can even end up with canyons. The course of a mighty river can be entirely determined by minor irregularities in the starting landscape.

Of course, if you took a decent sized plow and cut a channel through the landscape early enough, you could direct the development of the river to exactly where you wanted it. If you wait too long, redirecting the river becomes a major engineering task; involved, but still entirely doable.
As an outsider, this didn't surprise me very much, so I wouldn't count it.

I mean, it's obvious that even though the UK may be paying more money to the EU than it receives, there are other ways in which the UK massively benefits from the EU, which will be gone after Brexit is done. So that money isn't all available.

It is also not very unusual for politicians to promise more than they can keep.
>> You are going to have to abide by those "bummer" consumer protection laws...

If you're dealing directly with consumers then yes. If it's B2B then no, you won't have to. And there are lots of startups offering services for businesses only.
Possibly, although I wouldn't rush it. Worth seeing which countries will remain in the EU by the time UK finalises the exit.

Would individuals be restricted from using any government social welfare programs during this period? Many advocates propose funding basic income by disbanding current safety nets.

If recipients are living in public housing, collecting food stamps, accepting federal student loans, or any other form of indirect government aid, then it skews the results.
That is true, but not very enlightening as such.

The petition is signed by fewer folks than those that voted to remain in the EU, so it could "just" be a fraction of those that already voted calling for a second referendum. That's not the same as the people collectively deciding something different than before.
Skimming through the docs, I'm still not sure how they can guarantee that an enclave can't be meaningfully emulated. Do they simply mean that you can't emulate a specific processor (since each processor uses a unique key)? That wouldn't be the same guarantee at all. Or is it just impractical to emulate SGX with acceptable performance? I'm probably missing something. (Note, I know SGX can be virtualized properly, but I'm specifically referring to emulation that would allow you to effectively debug an SGX-protected program).
Yes, a common refinement pattern in code is (pseudocode):

I've been a fan of Security Onion for a while. Richard Bejtlich's book "Practice of Network Security Monitoring" discusses setting it up and how to incorporate it into an operations center's routine.

Notably, Security Onion and other tools are very difficult to use in cloud environments where you don't control the network! There are ways of getting a sensor access to the relevant traffic, but they require careful architecture. Even when set up properly, encrypted traffic defeats much of the deep packet inspection-based monitoring.
Generally, no, it did not. Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden have had travel without passport since 1952, and Iceland joined 1955, Faroe Islands in 1966. Svalbard (that belongs to Norway) is still excluded.

(In Schengen, you still need to have a passport or identity card, even if there are usually no checks; within the Nordic passport union area, that is not necessary for citizens.)

There are some checks in the ferries/trains between Denmark and Sweden. But I can step in my car and drive from here to Haparanda to Narvik and no one will stop me to ask for a passport.

I do understand the intended meaning of that sentence, and clearly it's more than admirable that these people are putting their money where their mouth is, but I really wish SV people would stop talking this way as it's tone deaf and counterproductive.

Several billion for them and a million and a half for a few people in Oakland implies that they do still find money somewhat interesting.
