>You can make a laundry list equally as terrible for any civilization that has ever existed.

A lot of civilizations at worse were at war with some other. This list is like a cancer spreading over the whole planet -- including some of its "achievements" that can wipe out the whole planet literally, like nukes.

The Holocaust, for example, doesn't leave much to trivialize. Plus at least those other civilizations had a lot of excuses (ignorance etc). Most of those things in the list have done in the era of "lights" and "science" with no excuse but pure greed.

>I would argue that the character of a culture is not set by its lowest points but by how it claws its way back towards the light of liberté, égalité, fraternité

I would argue that liberté, égalité, fraternité is just a way of seeing the world of a particular culture, not the be all end all of morality and civilization.

Plus it has been a hypocritical slogan for centuries, one used to beat other peoples to make them "civilized" or "bring democracy" (the white man's burden), when underneath it was profits and greed doing the work.
How do you mean 'hyperbole'? As far as I know there are still killings and bombs even today. Do you feel a reunification campaign wouldn't escalate into a civil war? You might know better than me, but it sounds like wishful thinking.

The DUP was campaigning for leave and several counties, ones not on the border, returned an overall leave majority.

So I'm surprised you believe the unionists will allow what they've been fighting against for a century to just happen in a peaceful referendum? I'd love to be wrong, I have no insight to how the more extreme elements of each side think these days, are the troubles completely behind the country?

I think time will tell for schools like Olin. I'm betting on Olin to be positive for my daughter. She will attend in 2017.

They are producing Fulbright scholars, NSF Graduate Research Fellows, and admittance to the best graduate schools for many of their graduates. At last count 140 companies are recruiting on campus for about 55 graduates a year (85 graduates and about 30 go to graduate school).

I tend to view outcomes as one of the primary measures of choice, both as a parent and also as a person that works for a liberal arts school that does not want to talk very loudly or directly about outcomes. But our parents want to know what outcomes are possible.

I can give you guys the Danish perspective.

We are not ready for further expansion of the EU project.

If this causes the EU to split in two parts: A smaller but stronger EU politcal/economical union and a broader but weak trade cooperation amogst european countries. Then Denmark will probably end up outside the political union.

We too had a number of referendums, more than one voting "no to EU" but always our representive polticians chose to negotiate a deal and create a new referendum which just scraped a yes.

The UK being out adds legitimacy to the "being out" case which EU opponents in Denmark and other places will use.

The dissatisfaction with the EU will much more visibile after this.

> In other words you do not want the EU to respect the terms of the treaty.

What part of the treaty spells the exact details? None. You have the right to leave, but not to drag your feet while you clarify your internal petty politics, hurting the rest of the EU.

So, please leave. Now. Otherwise we'll make sure the interests of the EU are respected, above the interests of the UK.

It is time to stop talking about UK interests and rights, and start talking about EU'interests and rights. You are defending your interests, and we'll defend ours.

If this sounds harsh, it is because today you didn't make a lot of friends in the EU. But mind you, you made some: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-36606184

And I say all this while fully respecting your decission to go. Just don't expect us to care about what your interests are, except when they happen to agree with ours. Having you on board of the EU now is absolutely not in our interest. Invoke article 50, and we get two years to part ways, which is more than enough.

Leave, or be marginalized. Once you leave, we can renegotiate treaties, one by one.

What bhopping would add to Overwatch is a huge increase in pacing and aim and prediction needed. I don't think it would really take away from the rest of the game, as it's not like bhopping and shooting at the same time has to be viable. The huge number of movement abilities wouldn't lose anything because of it. The skill ceiling would go up, but the skill floor wouldn't.

I' will concede that the number of movement abilities, and how they're trying to balance the game, bhopping might feel gimmicky in the case of Overwatch. I don't believe it's gimmicky in general. It certainly didn't feel that way for Quake. Or in a more recent case, Reflex.

>And if you don't believe me, there you have the current religious terrorism (or warfare) in Europe. Does it ring a bell?

Yeah, there have been like 1000 (much less actually, but let's put it at that) victims in Europe in attacks in say, 10 years.

Europeans use to kill the same number of those people, in their own countries, where on top they ruled and occupied their lands, every month or so. And sometimes just for fun. And not in some ancient ages -- up to the 1960s, and in some places, today still.

Just two examples:

Raw Economic Data Is Just Noise That Needs to Be Silenced
I think what people are missing is that the result of income inequality is not "more poor people" but more people who feel disenfranchised and left out, even if they're objectively better off than they were before. This is the end result of that. Globalization has been great for economic growth but in developed nations the benefit has disproportionately gone to the top 5%. Now the other 95% are restless and willing to vote for whomever promises them puppies and unicorns since existing leadership has failed to deliver.

It may be useful to a wider range of potential users to have an api for task-specific information. Then the open source community could use Benome to display the results of other tools (e.g. `done` tasks in TaskWarrior[0]).

This would increase actual productivity (i.e. users don't have to mark an existing todo item as done in one tool _and_ click a button in Benome). It would also mean that the Benome is available where ever the user is, without Benome having to store or transmit task-specific data.

>>> This is not how we program in the 21st century.

Actually, for many if not most, programming today means using procedures and subroutines, organized through functional decomposition, just like was done in the 1950s and 60s. We haven't gotten that far have we.

OO is a different paradigm from organizing the concepts in a domain through functional decomposition, and understanding how it is different, is key to understanding OO and messaging.
That's an irony. If done properly they should be the main beneficiaries, as they're poor. One of the big fuckups with the Eurozone is that there's no redistribution between states, something that helps the USA work as a currency union of states.
I think it's more than that. A college is worth $X because its graduates go on to Do Great Things. Now suppose there's only 10 colleges in the world. 9 inflate grades to a 3.8 average and 1 keeps it at 3.0. Who is going to get hired easier?

I think grade inflation is two fold. 1) students gaming the system and chasing grades rather than education, and 2) the system gaming against other participants.

No, you're misunderstanding. Intentionally or not. Freedom of movement, in EU terms, is not the same thing as Schengen. It's part of the common market. It's a common market for goods and labour. So people have to be able to live and work wherever they want.

It's one of those rules that makes the EU more than just a pro-corporate alliance. It actively tries to increase the freedom of its citizens. Member states can't just pick and choose which of those freedoms they want and which they want to deny. It's a package deal.

No but seriously, I think both you and hackits make it clear that there's a lot of discussion over what OOP actually is. Which makes me curious: is there any research on the characteristics of OOP as it implemented in practice across languages? I'd be very interested in such research, because it seems to me that what is possible is often not practiced.

So, for example, Ruby might be all about 'message passing' as others, and all the tutorials and books I've read indicate, but in practice it might be indistinguishable from just calling methods on objects, or whatever distinguishes message passing from other OOP styles.

If no such research exists, how difficult would it be to scan codebases on Github to analyse this? I might be wrong, but it seems like this would be a worthwhile investigation: how do people actually use languages and what is 'OOP' or 'FP' actually like in codebases that claim to be one or the other.

Otherwise we're just getting tangled up in definitions and it's all a moo point.

Conveniently matching the current figures. Either they should have declared that before the result (which they did not as it seems) or have left them out completely, simply stating they want a second vote.

I agree the figures are very close, but still it's the majority. Would they have also called for a second vote if it was reversed?

The scaremongering is exactly the thing that has to stop. It's undermining the EU. A European Union of Fear doesn't work.

The EU simply has to ensure its rules are sensible and fair, and offer the UK a fair deal. The UK will still be better off than non-EU countries, but not as good as EU members. Members who want the full benefits will stay.

Can you give example of these (except the "violates constitution", which in itself is nothing new, consitution was also violated by previous governments)? Which minorities are opressed?

I am with you 100 percent. I would say that one of the primary examples of the problems with direct democracy is California. Here you have a very liberal state, but because of the proposition system, when it comes time to vote on some of these issues only the crazies com out to vote.

While you're mostly right (and associating the abolishment of death penalty with French Revolution made me chuckle too), it's not actually true that the EU banned death penalty outright. EU institutions surely oppose death penalty, and there would be political/diplomatic repercussions if a member state tried to restore it, but this is not imposed upon any state in legal sense.

Correct. The way to refer to North and South American countries as a group is "the Americas".

A good start here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_cycle_theory

See also http://www.livescience.com/22109-cycles-violence-2020.html , which also has some very Google-able keywords.

Bear in mind that it's a field of active research, and I'm giving those more as starting points I plucked out from Google hits than necessarily endorsing those exact theories. Personally I would only defend a somewhat weaker idea, that the future isn't somehow entirely random, but that we can indeed look to theories like this for some understanding of the next few decades, modulo the technology wildcard. Or at least a much better understanding than just thinking it's all whims of fate and everything's on the table equally. I said some reliability on purpose... it's not totally reliable, but you can still do much better than nothing.

So have you seen the people admitting that they voted "Leave" to prevent the "Remain" vote from being too overwhelming? Some are now shocked and worried that the option they voted for actually succeeded.

Here: http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/eu-referendum-man_uk_5...

Then there's this, from Larry Elliott in The Guardian:

"The result speaks volumes about the state of
modern Britain. For the better off, a vote to
remain was the obvious thing to do. For the
less well-off, a vote to leave was their chance
to protest about badly paid jobs, zero-hour
contracts, bullying employers, and a sense that
they had been forgotten.

"These economic problems are deep-seated and of
long-standing. Most of them have little to do
with Europe. But the referendum has given
millions of unhappy people a chance to protest.
This is a country divided by wealth, geography
and class." '

Finally, there's this:

"... people of the UK voted to leave the
European Union with a majority of 52 percent
- and according to Google, they don't really
know why."

-- http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/06/brexit-google-search-trends-tech/

It's clear we are in a post-facts "democracy" - the "Leave" campaign are already saying that the things they promised, the things they campaigned on, won't happen.

To the Americans here - good luck with Trump in your elections.
It's almost like they're hitting them while they're down!
I think it's a mistake to compare this to direct democracy. If referenda are the appropriate tool for anything at all, it for determining the consent of the governed.
While I'm strongly of the opinion that this decision is a bad one for the United Kingdom, and mostly because of the economic havoc just about every expert foresees, we shouldn't forget two things:

a) Experts are sometimes wrong. Economic experts are usually wrong. (Personally I think they happen to be right in this case)

b) Some Brexit supporters also see the economic risks and accept them, because of democracy, sovereignty etc. pp.

And while I'm a pragmatic who would weigh economic consequences heavily, God damn!, I can totally respect that!
When facing this duality a few years ago, I had to look at the facts that encourage Config Management in favour of a Dockerfile approach:

* Dockerfiles do not work for configuring host systems, only Cfg Management is applicable

* Configuration management systems usually have a very declarative approach, easier to extend and maintain that Dockerfiles and bash scripts

* Dockerfiles contain too many arbitrary choices that do not work for everyone, starting with the choice of the distribution and OS version: companies like standardizing around one distribution and would have to fork Dockerfiles based on other systems, every single time.

The best solution I see at the moment is to use setup containers using configuration management.
