There are lots of other beaches in Rio that could've been chosen to host the water events.

However, Rio wanted to have some sort of legacy after the olympic games, something to be proud of after spending so much money while people are suffering without health and security. So the governors chose Baía de Guanabara! It's poluted as fuck, but the intent was to cleanse it before the games and have it as the Olympic legacy.

As always, Brazil screwed it and the bay still is a shit hole. Hell, 2 days ago they found in the bay the body of a college student that was murdered nearby.

I would recommend elm for a hobbyist and as a first exposure to functional programming that is a lot of fun. Your code will only run on browsers (as of now).

Scala is better for heavy duty work, and works on backend, frontend, simple android apps if you must, data science applications. It gives a lot more power and requires more effort to master.
From what I can tell, she tried running away, they tried to stop her, and she fell to the ground hitting her head.

No, she didn't just "fall", apparently. The article clearly implies that they forced her to the ground:

She's trying to get away from them but in the next instant, one of them had her down on the ground and hit her head on the floor. There was blood everywhere," Shirley Cohen told WREG-TV.

The language of the lawsuit concurs (in its use of the term "assault"). I assume you're not suspecting that they would use that term frivolously.

But this is a non-story really.

Very sadly, it isn't. The actions of the TSA employees most like weren't "intentional" in the sense that it wasn't like they specifically planned to take the course of action that they did. But the bigger fact remains that these people are (1) obviously inadequately trained in dealing with people with disabilities, (2) not only lacking in empathy, but -- again, by training -- apparently in "attack mode", or always on the verge of it.
> I just can't find any serious use-cases where FreeBSD would be of any advantage.

Ditto. I definitely like the idea of FreeBSD (and, even more, OpenBSD), but neither really seems worth the pain. The fact that I can't just rely on third-party software working means that I can't use either for my personal desktop (I like to play proprietary games) or even for servers (without extensive testing ahead of time, anyway).

As for the license, I prefer the GPL over the BSDL. I don't see why third parties should be permitted to forbid their users from enjoying the same rights they themselves received. Nuts to that.

And, honestly, as much as BSDs are a nicely-integrated software suite, they are an old nicely-integrated software suite. As much as the GNU userland is … weird & inconsistent, it's also really powerful. I like having an ls which has added options since 1986.

I'd love to love the BSDs, but … I don't.
As far as I know the number of friends or connections a person has has been relatively stable in the last few centuries.

It is not absolutely uncontested but I haven't seen any evidence that the number of connections people have nowadays has increased.

> The increased mobility of our society (both social and physical) has blurred and removed many of the old divides (class, vocation, religion) and we're still working on removing others.

I see more of an atomisation of society into ever smaller groups of minorities that fight each other and more class divide than ever. One other symptom of this is the radicalisation that we see particularly with young people.

20 years ago it would have been unfathomable to me to even imagine that teenagers born in the West would decide to join some crazy group that cuts of heads and throws gays off tall buildings.

GPS time is just UTC but without any leap seconds applied after 1980. It doesn't mean a position dependent time. GPS satellites transmit this, then also transmit the difference between GPS and UTC so that devices can convert it to whatever they want to display.

I guess a native Python implementation would be too slow. However, there is a fantastic libtorrent library that has Python bindings and allows to implement a torrent client in Python relatively easily.

BTW, regarding the original article, there is also a MonoTorrent library for .NET. Despite the name it can be compiled by Visual Studio. The original library was abandoned a while ago and seems to be buggy, but I was able to make a very simple .NET client with WinForms UI using this fork: https://github.com/ErtyHackward/monotorrent

Deploying to Acquia Cloud with BLT
I have a story like this:

My parents have a semi-expensive digital cable package that includes streaming from a computer. They use it to watch old episodes of their shows from the major networks.

One day, they brought a laptop to the next-door neighbors to watch an old episode. The streaming service wouldn't stream because it wasn't on their home network!

So they have a mobile streaming service that only works from their network, defeating the entire purpose of mobile streaming.

> I love the fact that it's daylight until 9 PM.

That just doesn't make sense: it's daylight until sunset, every single day. Whatever force has led people to get up later and later in the day — and thus want sunrise & sunset to occur later in their circadian cycles — will exist regardless of whether we're on DST or not.

Mark my words, if we went to year-round DST then in a few decades folks would want to have a summertime two-hour offset; if we went to a year-round two-hour offset then in a few more decades folks would want to have a summertime three-hour offset.

Just. Quite. Fiddling. With. The. Time. Seriously. If one wants to get up earlier, get up earlier. If society wants to get up earlier, get up earlier.
I think that just means new computing devices have expanded the market, not replaced old devices. Some functionality that was once used exclusively on PCs (what else did you have?) may now be more commonly accessed via mobile devices. You didn't have a PC in your pocket when you needed to look up directions on a map..
Well stated.

As long as there is money to be made and jobs to be had, our elected officials will continue to look the other way when it comes to incidents like this.

Security theatre was job one behind the creation of the TSA; job two was a huge employment drive for the people under the auspice of a benevolent organization.

Since these two drivers are so deeply embedded in the duties that government understands as its primary mandates, there is no way they can see any faults in the system.

Also, consider what would happen if we eliminated the TSA

TSA has 62,000 employees and an annual budget in 2013 of $7.9 billion [http://www.downsizinggovernment.org/homeland-security/tsa]

Laying off 62,000 people from the government payroll and eliminating $8 billion in funding would constitute a significant hit on the economy, and practically guarantees you won't be re-elected.
I'll ignore the Apple comment since everyone knows the reason for that. What we don't currently know (I think) is if Microsoft will charge a premium for upgrades after the 29th. From what I've read they haven't announced upgrade pricing which means it either won't have an upgrade version (i.e. you pay full price) or it will be a dirt cheap and they won't announce it in hope they get more Win10 installs before the expire date.
See, the situation has improved. We're getting there, slowly. With an emphasis on slowly ;)

I don't know. Whenever I now see a few identical looking things sold by multiple brands nobody has ever heard of with a lot of positive reviews I close the tab and use some other store.

I'm reminded of the Jurassic Park quote when I see people doing "neat" complicated CSS hacks to do stuff a line of JS would do...

"Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should."
When Bush changed the date, our company had millions of hand-held wireless devices that had to be updated. To avoid that debacle again, we made them contact a DST server (instead of hard-coding the dates). Because updating handhelds was a miserable process requiring retrieving them all and docking them.
Good point.

If you use Wordpress, like millions of people do, you will have a fuck ton of JS plugins running, so I can see where this would be advantageous.

Economic Reality
You pretty much hit the nail on the head.

Written content was either managed by major news outlets or by hobbyists. I can still remember reading many blogs in 2009/2010 by hobbyist who just wanted to spread their experience with the hobby or craft. Most had no advertising. Those that did had the small, occasional unobtrusive banner ad. All of the links to follow were to other blogs by those who proved to the writer that their blogs were topical and without cruft.

Then the paid blogging boom took off. People realized they could churn out crap most of the time with the occasional heavy hitter[0]. Keep readers coming back to a mediocre blog plastered in ads for a minimal amount of effort and get paid.

It's more than what you see in Linux. For example in Linux you have system packages, packages that are in distro repo, and 3rd party repo all sorting configuration and startup scripts in /etc.

In FreeBSD anything you find in /etc is part of the system, applications that you install are fully contained in /usr/local including etc and rc.d (init.d). /usr/local is also completely empty when you first install the system.
India has many problems, but most economic problems rose from Command and Control economy, that gave raise to rampant corruption, smuggling (for Gold and electronics) and many other things. Yes, most of the economic issues have texture to them but the main ingredient was government trying to control the markets, Nehru style. I could care less if it in vogue, nor it would be foolish to even think India has fully unburdened itself from Nehruvian Socialism, honestly its not even hindsight, NS is thriving in plain sight again at the cost the people and economy. The Indian Public sector banks are case and point.

That's not actually a security measure any more. Bags fly without owners all the time, for example when you check in late and the bag misses your flight and gets on the next one.

The prevalence of suicide attacks made the idea of bag matching as a way to prevent bombings somewhat obsolete. They still do remove bags from the flight if you miss it, ostensibly for this reason, but at least in theory they solve the problem of explosives in bags by scanning and searching checked luggage as well, which they didn't used to do in the old days.

The shift in sleeping pattern indeed is a disruption and a negative factor well studied. However it's something you're only affected by a few days or weeks at most. The positive effects are more stretched and last over 6 months. They're harder to study and I haven't seen much studies (except about the non existing energy saving effect).

With jQuery it's probably like 4 or 5 lines. With plain JS a few more as you have to write your own iterator function.

All an accordion does is add an event listener that removes a class from all elements and adds it back to one of them. Then there's a 1 line transition for that class in css.
> but there is a reason no one wants to do that these days

The reason is, that JS is enabled by default, nothing else.

If users had the possibility to actively decide before any remote code will execute on their computer, how many would like to enable it?

We are just one default checkbox setting away from what you call "utopia" here - a word that should be used for much bigger things.

Of utopic naivity in deed is the expectation that such powerful features will not be misused - delivering browsers with code execution enabled by default will be looked at as one of the most funny things of the first internet in a few
decades.

Web application development paradigms that enforce JavaScript usage as an absolute necessity are examples of "naive utopian deadends". It is totally anti-avantgarde and anti-progressive, we should not waste so many young talents on that.
These are cool "CSS tricks" but I would seriously never allow someone to use these in a production web application.

- It's not an accessible solution in most cases (no keyboard navigation)

- The CSS classes are very and overly complex to the point where it's not intuitive at all what they're doing (honestly the code being intuitive is more important to me than any minor performance benefits that may be seen here)
Users disabling JS can opt to turn it on.

Blind users can't opt to see.
