It is clear to me that the West wanted Erdogan gone (for good reasons) although I'm not insinuating that the US had any part in the failed coup.

But after these extensive purges it will be basically impossible to remove the elite that rose with Erdogan for the next decades, of that much I'm sure.

History has shown again and again that purges are a cruel but still extremely effective tool. After this there will be no opposition left.

I even expect that Turkey will leave NATO within the next years and get closer to Russia/China/Iran.

This is actually very good! My initial reaction was to roll my eyes at another Vim tutorial, but this suits my (low) attention span by giving me exactly what each letter does in a spoonfeed (read animated) way. Brilliant taxonomy (a-z) and brilliant bite-size aborption medium that doesn't require me to trawl through a tutorial. Bookmarked.
What email platforms does this integrate with, e.g. Marketo, Salesforce, Silverpop etc?
You are assuming that human welfare is the goal.
Take a look at the Medium URLs and you'll see they have a fragment ID and so count as different submissions.

this is the way chinese negotiate in all business deals. First the seller quotes an absurd price like ten times the value of what they are selling then the buying offers an absurd low price maybe 10% or even 1% the value of the item then they both slowly move towards the real price over the course of dozens of back and forth offers. It would be unheard of for a chinese business deal to close after a single round of negotiating. Every country that has resolved their disputes with china has gone through this and china has come down from their original ask to something reasonable but of course in china's overall favor
From http://number-none.com/blow/blog/programming/2016/07/07/brai...:

The game Braid originally shipped to the world in 2008, and after some ports in 2009, I have only worked significantly with the code on a few occasions. But I want to maintain this game indefinitely into the future; in the back of my mind, there have always been some clean-ups that I have wanted to perform on the code. Often when shipping a game, the best answer to a problem isn’t evident, and we are under time pressure, so we solve the problem in some way that is sufficient but sub-optimal. Other times, we need to design the game to meet technical constraints of systems we want to deploy on, but as the years go on, these systems become irrelevant, so the code can be cleaned up. I figured it would be interesting to talk about some of these things in a blog (and the blog will help motivate me to think about these situations and clean some of them up!)
It's certainly some progress that GitHub now follows .editorconfig! But now that they have the ability to render tabs with different numbers of spaces, I wish they could have changed the default to four spaces while they were at it. Aside from the Linux kernel, not too many people really like eight-column tabs.

I've always omitted the indent_size and tab_width settings from my .editorconfig files that specified tabs, because I wanted to let people view the code in their preferred default indentation size instead of one I specified.

(As I've mentioned too many times in this thread, I follow an indentation-only style with no column alignment, so you can view the code at any tab width without breaking the formatting.)

Now, just to make GitHub give a reasonable code listing, I'm having to add indent_size=4 to all my .editorconfig files. That's not a terrible thing, but I really would prefer to leave the choice up to the viewer instead of forcing 4-character tabs.
I attempted a drop shipping site as well, didn't go anywhere. Thankfully I used wordpress to set it up so not too much of a time waste, but only after building it did I realize its all about marketing your product. Not only that, the drop shipping suppliers are supplying to anyone that wants to do it, so there is plenty of competition.

Yes, I should have mentioned that I went to a modestly-funded public high school in a small dying steel town outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania -- most of my classmates were the aforementioned stoners as well (they graduated to heroin -- indeed, my county has one of the highest rates for heroin abuse in the country).

For some reason, I believed that I was destined for a better life, I really loved computer programming and I wanted to live in Silicon Valley, and I worked my ass off for it. There were no handouts, and I knew I would be judged with the same yardstick as the kids from the likes of Phillips Exeter with their near-perfect SAT scores, the byproduct of personalized tutoring. The web site College Confidential was my bible. I'm one of the few that left the town, and now I live in Silicon Valley.

Still, I got thin envelopes in the mail from all but one of my reach schools. I took the opportunity I had and ran with it.

I have zero regrets as well. Turned out that playing one hour of Counter-Strike a day instead of five had a much bigger payout.
> or any way of discovering features of an API programmatically.

So, this is one of my issues with HATEOAS. When does this _actually_ come up in practice? I mean really, how do we normally consume APIs? We read the docs to figure out which endpoints we need to call, call them in the right order, and do the right stuff with the result. Nothing about that process is automatic; it takes a human to figure out what's available and the right way to use it.

To me the hypermedia part of REST has always seemed like a pointless academic exercise. Yes it's really cool to be able to point a service browser at your service's root resource and have it map the whole thing out but in practice, when is this ever anything but a neat party trick?
If you don't even have a proposed alternative to participating in the Cold War, then how can you say that doing so was not in the interests of the US? The worth of an action can only be judged in comparison to its alternatives, because you always have to make a choice. Even doing nothing is a choice.

I highly recommend subscribing. I have no connection to Lapham's Quarterly whatsoever. I am just a happy subscriber.

Each issue is themed. The article is from Summer 2016's LQ, with, as you'd suspect, the theme of "Luck". Each issue opens with a long essay/rumination from Lewis Lapham. He is a fabulous writer.

Then, you are given writings from throughout history, all centered around the theme. The presentation is lively and interesting. You might see a piece from a 17th century author juxtaposed with a photo from the 21st century. There will usually be some beautiful infographics related to the theme.

I generally read through each issue with my commonplace book at hand so I can transcribe interesting things I find within.

Almost all the pages I see CAPTCHAs on with Tor have absolutely nothing to protect. Arguably the website owners who use CloudFlare are far more to blame than CloudFlare itself. Nevertheless, I believe CloudFlare should stop using reCAPTCHA and create a challenge system that does not require JavaScript, and does not require sending requests to any website other than the website being visited. I like their proposed solution[0] of automatically creating an onion service for websites using CloudFlare and redirecting Tor users there.

It also has to be establish how many false negatives a company is allowed to produce.

Any plans on more native support for Kubernetes? The relabeling spaghetti config you end up with is very confusing and unreadable.

Granted, you don't need to touch this confirmation very often, but anyone who's going to operate the cluster will need to understand it thoroughly.

The fact that it's ad-hoc (prometheus.io/probe etc. aren't built in) means everyone's config is probably going to be unique and not portable. For example, we found the current config example to be insufficient, since blackbox-exporter needs information about whether its endpoint is HTTP or HTTPS.

Kubernetes' template system, combined with variable expansion, seems like it would be a better model for what you're currently trying to do with service discovery.

Also: I'm setting this up right now, but it seems there's no exporter for the Kubernetes API proper, just Kubelet?

> Lisp's syntax is better because it makes an easy compile target

Not quite. Lisp's syntax is (mostly) irrelevant. Lisp's design is better because you don't have to worry about syntax to use Lisp as a compile target.

There's a huge conceptual difference between

(eval '(some code))

and (using Javascript or Python as an example)

eval("Some code")

In JS/Python case you are passing a string to EVAL. In the Lisp case you are passing a data structure to EVAL. That data structure has been generated by the reader (by virtue of using QUOTE) but that is not the important part. You could as easily have written:

(eval (cons (quote some) (cons (quote code) nil)))

or

(eval (some-function-that-generates-code))

with the point being that some-function-that-generates-code does not return a string, it returns a data structure, so there is no syntax. The whole concept has evaporated because you're not dealing with strings any more. Syntax is for humans. When you have programs writing programs, syntax just gets in the way. But when your EVAL function takes a textual representation of a program as a string you have no choice but to muck with syntax. This is the reason that the misconception that syntax is essential is so widespread. It seems essential only because most programming languages don't distinguish between READ and EVAL.
You're saying that they do act that way but you're also objecting to calling leaders who act that way psychopathic. Choosing to do what is necessary for the continued victory of one's country even to the extent of assisting genocide is psychopathic. Good people, even if they "recognize the nature of reality" should allow themselves to be defeated rather than assist in genocide.
Sure. It's horrible.

I've been out-of-country for a while, but my (very anti-islamist) family is basically saying "best hope is ending up like Iran, worst hope is Syria". There are continuing widespread, scary daily rallies of Islamist-supporters whipping up a frenzy, and secularists are completely cowed with no way forward. The secularist state is being completely dismantled.
This is exactly why people build services such that they themselves don't have access to user data, because anything you have access to you can be compelled to produce (by a jurisdiction that has power over you, or that you let have power over you because you want its business more than your users' trust). WhatsApp is feeling the pain here because they're popularizing end-to-end encryption, and jurisdictions are trying to test the boundaries and push back. As long as there are only a few such applications and services, blocks like this will remain feasible.

We need a whole generation full of such applications and services, all of which have no access to user data, so that jurisdictions get used to the idea that user data is owned by the users, and that there's no point in going after the service. And with enough such essential services woven into everyday life, it'll become less feasible or politically acceptable to attempt to block them.

Consider the very short list of countries that block Google, or YouTube, or Wikipedia, and what properties those countries have in common, versus the much larger set of countries making attacks on encryption right now. Consider the expected length of a political career in a reasonable country for someone who tried to block YouTube, versus the disturbing lack of backlash against attacks on encryption. We need to make attacking encryption a political third-rail.

> When the instigators and butchers of World War I ... didn't get torn apart by their own people, I have little hope for responsibility and justice.

You have to understand that the instigators of WWI, and other subsequent wars, did not come from outer space. To their fellow countrymen and women, they were patriots. National heroes.

That applies even today.

A few years ago, I read an article in the Washington Post online. The writer said that when somebody spotted Donald Rumsfeld in the subway and pointed to him, practically everybody in the car gave him a standing ovation. That was after he'd resigned from office.

The problem for him is that Turkish nationalism is a good tool for internal control, but it doesn't help at all if the goal is to gain influence in the Middle East.

Turks are not Arabs after all. Islam on the other hand is quite influential und universal in the Middle East.

I guess he wants more influence in the Middle East instead of trying to influence some Turkish minorities in China and a few minor Central Asian nations. (good luck trying that against China)

He made GDP go up.

The West has also spent the past decade and a half fawning over the genius of the Chinese Communist Party and the PLA for the same reason. Look into their glorious human rights record, or the level of inequality there for that matter. Makes the USA look like an egalitarian utopia.

Dubai is another one. Look at those skyscrapers! What a dynamic economy! Never mind the slave labor and the caste system.

I'd throw Singapore in too. They're nowhere near as bad as the PLA or Dubai in practice but they are essentially totalitarian at heart. But the numbers look good and the streets are clean so it's okay.

Side note:

One thing that's disillusioned me about libertarianism is that the past 30-ish years of history seem to have proven that capitalism and economic health are absolutely compatible with totalitarianism. IMHO the Randian notion that the two are at odds and that a dynamic economy requires freedom and justice has been empirically proven wrong. Slave states work. GDP goes up. What's not to like?

This is good advice not just for how to pitch a startup but also for how to pitch anything - say, a project within a company, or even yourself for a job. Obviously the market size would be more about quantifying the potential return on whatever it is you're pitching. And the one about the founding team might be more about focusing on just the most relevant factors for why the people involved are well-suited for the task. But overall these are great recomendations for making compelling pitches for any business decision.
The problem with sequels in games this good is that the game is so much better than anything else when it is released, that a sequel can't be anything other than an incremental update, and thus feels lackluster.
