It also hasn't helped that the Fed has held the interest rate so low for so long in order to prop up the property bubble.

If the interest rate went up a couple of points, nobody could afford the mortgage on a million dollar home. At that point, the market would start moving in a different direction.

It is documented. Look at the file "CONTRIBUTE" in the root of the Emacs source.

That file is also cited in the manual: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Co...

And that manual page is the first Google result for "contributing to emacs".

We actually thought about this with Umbrella App. "If used by a company involved in mass surveillance you agree to pay us 1 billion dollars etc." I don't think it's impossible but it would mess up the usefulness of the GPL/MIT system. Of course, the hard part about any GPL/MIT system etc is the enforcement bit.

The signal value was, at best, an extremely minor signal. The shield was never a significant military threat to Russia, which was obvious and well known to both the US and Russia at the time.

The only information it carried was that Poland was choosing the US over Russia, which had also been extremely obvious to everyone for a long time, since they had been announcing it to anyone who would listen for years.

The shield was thus of utterly insignificant value as a signal in terms of Russia's decision to join or not join international organizations. It was a signal to Poland, not to Russia.
CDC reports “surprising” but rare ways to catch Zika virus
I didn't realize they were quite so late. That said, the "1995" transition date was probably more like 1998 or so. WiFi connectivity was still in its infancy at the turn of the century and the availability of meaningful amounts of online content and services was only a few years ahead of that.

Laptops were somewhat useful even prior to WiFi. I had my first one in 1997 or so. It was convenient to take work home, for example. But you're right that, viewed through the lens of today, they weren't a huge win relative to wired desktops for many uses.
I lost 50% on my house, and I'm still saying this, so no, I probably wouldn't.

I get that this is a huge burden. I don't suggest that's the magic fix, or that this should happen across the board at such staggering numbers. I'd prefer if it didn't happen to such an extent again to me, either.

I was merely answering the OPs question why anybody owning a house would want them to go down at all.

We are currently on an unsustainable trajectory. They need to come down, and they will, sooner or later. The only question is if we want to handle this in a controlled way, or as a collapse, like last time 'round.

Since this user is on XP, really should not be using IE8 anymore, and should use a third party browser.

I'm frankly surprised it works halfway well at all, and in general IE8 requires ES5 shims/shivs beyond even ES6 babel support.
The thing you quickly realize is that IPv6 isn't so much about a large number of 128 bit addresses, it's about a large number of 64 bit networks. Each network capable of handling essentially unlimited number of addresses.

So, when people talk about how many "Addresses" are available, they are barking up the wrong tree, they should talk about how many networks are available.

Ironically, I've seen tens of thousands of IPv6 networks deployed, and almost all of them are in RFC 4193 space, which is the equivalent of IPv4s RFC 1918 (10.x.x.x/8, 172.16.x.x/12, and 192.168.x.x/16).

But, unlike RFC 1918, where the space is constricted, and too many people use 10.1.x.x or 192.168.1.x, and end up in conflict, companies are pretty good about choosing a completely random ::/48 from FD::/8 - odds of a conflict are pretty minimal between two companies.
Can you please elaborate? Because I don't see how it is different.

Are you still using Java stack, Java calling convention, still able to do Java interop?

When you are writing your own language on top of Java (Scheme, for example), you have full control of your lang AST (S-expressions, for example).
How does it help to implement TCO and continuations (assuming you don't want to lose Java interop, Java calling convention, Java stack and performance)?
Failure of people and tools.

Like the sibling comment says, often tools designed to consume HTTP will throw a more severe class of error upon 4xx/5xx, which then changes the codepath significantly, making it more difficult for the programmer to treat 2xx and 4xx/5xx responses similarly for parsing out the headers and the response body.

Web browsers are also guilty of some of these behaviors. They would inject a 'user friendly error page' upon 4xx/5xx. Since they are graphical applications, they have also been used as rudimentary debug/sanity-check tools at the expense of curl.

Together, these forces combined to drive some APIs to respond with a 200 for any response. Often, faithfulness to spec or faithfulness to the intent of the design takes a backseat to making a solution work. The combination of these traditions survives in the myriad APIs that essentially use HTTP as an browser-accessible RPC mechanism.
vim has an initial hurdle of being extremely unintuitive. But once you start learning the vim "language", you find it builds on itself and intuitiveness increases a lot.

For example d is the delete command and w is the "move by word" command, so dw is "delete word". / is the search command, so /foo searches for the first instance of foo in the document. You can intuitively figure out that d/foo is "delete everything until the first found foo", and that is exactly what it does.
I wonder if BB users also use that excuse.
I don't think you can draw that conclusion either.

At my university, the Electrical & Computer Engineering curriculum teaches freshman assembly language before C. All of the ECE students understand pointers immediately. The Computer Science curriculum teaches C++ (with raw pointers) before assembly language. Pointers are significant source of frustration for many students in CS.
Your Hackable File Organizer
Just for context: almost every update fixes multiple code execution vulnerabilities in WebKit, and browsers are usually much easier and more reliable to exploit than most things due to the JavaScript VM. This bug is arguably more scary than those because it only requires the ability to send someone an image, not an HTML page, but then again, it's not generally hard to get someone to click on your link (think fake URL shortener), and while perhaps this bug is powerful enough to be exploited reliably (100% success/non-crash rate across all unpatched Apple OSes that might receive the message), if it isn't, that would make it considerably less stealthy in practice. (On a webpage you can see the target device and version before even starting the attack.) I don't think it's really worth freaking out much over, unless you're new to the realization that most modern Internet-connected devices are hellishly insecure. :) Though of course you should patch as soon as possible; critically, unlike with Stagefright, all modern iOS devices can, and will be prompted to, install the update.
RPC vs REST is an entirely different argument. We're talking about REST best practices here, not "let's do RPC instead".

There's no reason for the webcam to hard-code URIs, and that's a violation of the architectural constraints. Just arbitrarily deciding to disregard facets of the architectural pattern without giving a reason does not add to this discussion.

None of this relates to whether or not you need futuristic AI or human intervention. I think from the example, it's pretty clear you need neither for a REST API.
It's not that allowing development is then reason that prices go up and cause people to be forced from their homes. It's that the developments themselves won't sufficiently increase the supply to the point that it would prevent the rise in housing costs, so they'd rather that development not get built at all because they have other, aesthetic or cultural objections in addition to that.

Again, complex interlocking factors. Not denial of economics.

Inertia for one, ubiquity for another. Vim (or at least vi) is available everywhere that I want to do any kind of text editing: An ARM SBC, my old WinXP laptop, my newer Win7+Linux machines, the old HP-UX at work, all the Linux VMs that I ssh into, etc. After almost 15 years of use, there are certain things that feel like a missing limb if they aren't present in another program.

Atom's not attractive to me. It's a ~100MB near-IDE written and extended in web-oriented languages that I'm only lukewarm on learning, and which can't be used remotely, or on all the computers that I'll touch in a given month.

Sublime looks nice, but not so far ahead of vim that I want to take the time to learn it and pay for a license. I suppose that it's worth a trial, but I haven't gotten around to it.
I did VIM Adventures. Then I installed VsVim for day to day work. A while later, it just makes sense. I'm so fast, it's like magic. Vim macros alone make it worth it.

At any rate, I never spent much time memorizing keys. I'd look up a thing or two, apply it, and it'd just sink in.

Bash to ShellJS Transpiler
Yeah, this, the problem is just interesting because everywhere within a 60-minute commute is almost a million dollars. At least in real cities with high density (e.g. not San Jose), the rent makes sense because it's close to things you want. In the suburbs of SJ and the greater Bay Area, the difference in rent between the "downtown" area, or even downtown SF proper, seems like way less of a difference between the rent in Manhattan vs the suburbs. My point is that the suburbs here are terribly over-priced and over-valued, but I guess we could argue based on the logic that got us to this point: "it's worth what people will pay for it".

UK’s DRIPA spy law is legal if safeguards in place, says top EU court advisor
BT’s poor customer record, failure to invest in fibre attacked by MPs
CloudFlare is an endpoint for predictable actions; and serves overseas websites. So, even a state that doesn't necessarily have power to infiltrate a foreign host might still be able to identify users of those foreign hosts.

So, say I use Tor to make political comments on a foreign website; one that I have reasonable trust is outside the reach of my government. But, say that website uses CloudFlare and CloudFlare has servers that are within reach of my government. That's the difference. It is a difference of degree, rather than kind, but a difference nonetheless.

Powerful actors have always had some ability to compromise Tor by compromising the requesting side (the ISP of the target of an investigation, for example), and then the receiving side (the website where your suspect does the thing you're investigating them for...possibly a honey pot setup specifically to catch people who do this thing, or possibly a website whose owner has already been arrested, prosecuted and made a deal that allowed access to the systems). CloudFlare just adds an additional element of uncertainty for Tor users: Will this CAPTCHA take place in a way and place that allows someone to narrow down my identity?

As with a lot of the security concerns about Tor, one has to take it as weights on a scale. Who are my attackers, and what level of attack can they bring against my traffic? If your privacy concerns don't include state level actors, then this is probably a theoretical attack. If your attackers do include state level actors, then it is a concern to be aware of. State level actors have other means of compromising your identity and traffic, of course, but this is one of them, and if I understand it correctly, it is a valid concern.

Brexit risks undermining UK’s tech prowess in Europe, MPs warn
Are you serious or arguing insincerely? I can't tell.

Codes of conduct are a direct response to ongoing harassment and stalking against various contributors of various open-source projects, followed by inaction on the part of the project maintainers or the excuse of "that just can't handle criticism".

What is so offensive about saying "make it about the code, not about the person" and "don't stalk, dox, or harass people"?

A code of conduct is a signal that juvenile behavior won't be tolerated and that if your code reviewer starts sending you dick pics they'll get banned from the project. It doesn't do anything by itself - if the project maintainers don't follow through it is worthless but like security lights and door locks the signaling value has an effect on people's behavior.

And for the record it protects while males too.
I agree, but this judge hasn't done this. And every time this Judge has acted its been overturned by a higher court. They've arrested an foreign citizen, seized funds for a separate company (albeit a subsidiary of the parent company), and misused another law to try and block access of it. All trying to get access to something Whatapp shouldn't have, and would hurt its global value if it implemented.

As for democracy ~96% of Brazilians with access to a smartphone use WhatsApp as their primary method of communication. There was a fair bit of outrage in Brazil. Though I may personally be more aware of it as its the those with smart phones were the people I heard the most from.

Monster Hunter Generations review: The next colossal footprint
Well, people have already mentioned TV Tropes and Reddit, but they're definitely two places I can spend hours on end browsing for content.

Other than that:

http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/ - If you like obscure games, this will keep you reading for hours. The amount of Japan only arcade games you probably never knew you wanted is insane.

http://www.spriters-resource.com/ - And its various associates for 3D models, textures and sounds. I can easily get sidetracked just looking for examples of strange games, tilesets or enemy sprites. If you're making a fan game or game mod... you'll probably spend more time here than actually making the game.

Various Wikis in general. Super Mario Wiki, Zelda Wiki and Bulbapedia can keep you reading for weeks if you're a fan of those franchises.

https://tcrf.net/The_Cutting_Room_Floor - A very large wiki for unused content in games. There's a lot of fascinating stuff there, and just looking for ridiculous developer rants can take up a fair amount of my time.

For example, this rather amusing rant about warez teams and the demoscene:

https://tcrf.net/Final_Fight_(Amiga)

Forums in general. If I find a new forum, I'm probably not doing anything else for the next weekend or so while I try (and sometimes fail) at catching up on what happened over the last ten years.

http://www.suppermariobroth.com/ - Yeah, it's pretty obvious what my focus is when it comes to the internet. But it's basically one very long feed of Mario tech gimmickry and randomness and it makes for one hell of a trivia source.
The way I look at it these days is: I can manage to do anything related to an API or app. The polish that comes after the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 10th years is just doing things more elegantly and with better tooling. For me, it's mostly been about stronger separation of concerns.

That's my perspective at 3 years into startup software engineering.

I think most companies would contract for a home built solution rather than risk bankruptcy, assuming that term was even enforceable.
Every day it spends on the back burner it gets less and less maintainable though. The libraries and technology it's built with get outdated, the systems it has to interact with keep evolving and the knowledge about the system disappears.

Then when they need to update it (say for a new version of IE) they can't find anyone competent to work on it because no one competent wants to work on such an outdated POS. A simple bug fix or added may involve upgrading a tonne of dependencies and code changes in the project is effectively dead.
I tried to run that test in Firefox, but first NoScript mutinied, then uBlock Origin threw out First Party Simulator as malvertising. Does that mean that I'm safe, or do I still have to worry about server-to-server communications?
That's the exact opposite of the intention of a Code of Conduct. Can you point out exactly what isnt welcoming about rules like "no racism" or "criticize code, not people"?

Do you have a burning desire to call people "honkey" in code reviews? Can't live without calling people stupid for being old/young? Is being prohibited from stalking other contributors so you can call their workplace and get them in trouble a huge problem for you?

This sounds like unjustified whining without any basis in actual fact or experience... iow "get off my lawn damn kids!!!".

A code of conduct is usually just shorthand for "don't be a jerk, be a professional".

These are strong arguments. Unfortunately, while sometime interpretability addresses a fundamental (not frivolous concern), it's also true that often interpretability is sometimes contrived to serve some irrational bias or political motive.

I think this is expressed in the paper's discussion section:

"We should be careful when giving up predictive power, that the desire for transparency is justified and isn’t simply a concession to institutional biases against new methods."
I understand what the doc is trying to convey, I just hadn't ever thought of the application-level logic for record deltas before, so I got incredibly distracted from the document. It made me wonder how other people, not using temporal tables, are accomplishing this right now.
When I first heard about this it was promoted as a faster ruby implementation. How far away is it from running rails?

Interesting that they've gone as far as running C extensions "internally", making it easier to run existing ruby apps without running up against the barrier of a native gem and having to change the code.

That's like saying that "these people over here cannot be allowed to decide over their own neighborhood, because they might decide things that I find repugnant". Well, who are you going to trust with the power?
None of those names sound right to me. Back in those days someone could write some software, put it on a floppy, xerox some instructions and put it all into a big plastic sandwich bag. Our computer store would then put it on a shelf to sell. That was how it was done back then. I remember calling a couple of companies and talking directly to the developer. Most of the products you mention came much later. It wouldn't surprise me if there isn't any information about those early products - except among a few old timers on blogs like this one. And some products were strictly regional - depending on which computer stores were visited by the developer. But I appreciate your effort to help the OP.

Nothing.
