Exactly. It is very much our nature as programmers to attempt to capture this seemingly trivial bit of structured text into seemingly innocuous programming rules, but the rewards of the added complexity are just too meager. Even if an email address validates, it still doesn't mean that you have a working email address. Sending an email is the only way to be sure, and if you are already doing that, then why risk excluding valid email addresses with a decidedly non-trivial regex?

There are regexes out there that capture all the complexity of valid email addresses today (but who knows if they'll work with, say, next year's additions to the top-level domains?), and you can copy them from StackOverflow if you really want them; but why bother?

Exactly - you want this information unavailable and out of the public eye. You don't want teenager X in the US becoming enamoured with publicly spewed IS ideology and deciding to do something to help them out. Teenager X is the sort of person who wouldn't actively seek out IS, but if it's directed at him, well, he may listen.

The question of who decides what gets culled is a different and far more nuanced question to answer - but I for one am glad that these accounts are getting closed down.

Java seemed to have a lot more options for deployments and monitoring for a long time. More advanced 3rd party libraries in general. It had simply been around longer and thus had those tools available. Now that C# has been standard for a while almost all of those tools have a C# equivalent.

As a .NET dev I'd actually argue that the things available to C# now are actually better (especially Visual Studio), but that's certainly biased.
What's the context? Is this a leak, a live production change, or a fan-made demo?
Those numbers are deceptive. For example, they lump the entire $9.2M spent by Boeing into the "defense" category. Boeing is a pretty diverse aerospace and services company. They sell to many more areas of the government than the DOD and have many more interests in government policy beyond acquisitions programs. Dumping all of their lobbying efforts into "defense" unfairly distorts the category, especially since that number alone represents 1/6 of it.
Interesting! Thanks for the context. I agree with the Adjuncts example very much.

Hahaha that's a great analogy, "schools are like prisons". I think many of the teachers I had in high school would agree...
You get what you incentivize. If you incentivize headcount, you get a higher headcount (thanks to lobbyists) Your suggestion might improve facilities, but that's not quite the goal either.

If the goal of our system is to reform and reintegrate people who have committed crimes back into the society, maybe that's what we should be incentivizing.

We could develop quality measurements based on outcomes, and give bonuses based on the percentile prisons rank in.

It wasn't cmd that was the problem (although, it is weak); it was how Windows exposed APIs to allow automated solutions.

You had two options: VBScript (which is a glorified COM+ agent) or a "real" programming language like VB6/C# which mixed COM+ with Win32 API calls (which are too hard to use for most non-programmers).

Powershell within itself does improve CMD. But that isn't primarily how PS pushed Windows automation forward, Microsoft said that every major server feature and server function should work in Powershell, so engineers at Microsoft had to look at it (be it their lacking COM+ interface, provide a new PS interface, or something else).

The net result isn't that CMD got replaced by something better. It is that we have a lot more APIs and ways of interacting with Windows features and services than we ever used to.

The ironic thing is that today you could write MS Dos-style console applications that work in CMD which provide all of this new automation functionality because of the Powershell push. Back before Powershell you'd have to hack it using unsupported APIs, registry entries and similar.

Fair point. We need a better word to describe mass murder by coincidence.

I would note however, that the goal of wiping out a people (in this case it could be argued that "a people" could just as easily refer to "poor people" as "Irish people") was at least a bonus as far as Westminster was concerned.

But the majority of Whig cabinet ministers saw little need to spend public money accelerating a process that was already going on 'privately' at a great rate."

Did you read the comments where, if you do block the standard ports, the telemetry system in Win10 goes all subversive botnet-like and starts connecting on random ports to random hosts in order to get out of the firewall?

Frightening.
> branching

None that I know of from the last 20 years or so.

> inlining

This one is tricky. Sure, GCC ignoring the inline keyword is annoying, but sometimes figuring out if something is inline-able is undecidable, and sometimes things just aren't capable of being inlined.

> blocking inlining

This is something that I don't understand why we don't have. Sure, lots of times you would rather inline than not, but sometimes inlining the wrong expression can subtly change the performance / lookup / dispatch semantics in weird ways. I've no hard examples of this, but it should be easy enough for almost every language to have a --no-inline flag.

> RVO

C++11 and up somewhat handle this with move semantics. Having a separation of rvalues / lvalues certainly helps, but the distinction could probably be clearer, as it can get to be a gruesome and hairy topic depending on your types.

> const != immutability

That you can often just "cast the const away" is really the problem here. I think Rust improves on this space as there is no safe cast to remove const-ness, but if you ever find yourself or somebody else casting away const, you / they should realize that they are going against the design of the system. I'm still undecided if "mutable" keyword in C++ classes is so horrible in this context, as it certainly helps in making const-types usable with the rest of the language (which is inherently non-const).

I agree, the only reason private prisons exist is because the government was sending so many people to prison the public prisons could not keep up budget wise. So they had to ask the private sector to help keep costs down. Private prisons are just a symptom (only 6 percent of state prisoners, 16 percent of federal prisoners are in private prisons) of the real problem that is the US is sending too many people to prisons, more than any country and mostly because of harsh punishment of victimless crimes such as the war on drugs but not only that, there's also the 3-strike rule, minimum sentences, ridiculous regulations etc and both republicans and dems are responsible as these were passed by Clinton with the agreement of the opposition. Sickening really.

And now they are blaming private prisons? How about admitting the government was wrong on the war on drugs and harassing the poor with victimless crimes which resulted in a waste of trillions of dollars and millions of poor sent to prisons having their life ruined. Not gonna happen I know, or at least it will but very slowly and they will blame the private sector all the way during the process. Again, this is really sickening.

otoh, by using twitter, they get a free recruitment and propaganda platform. the question becomes: is that more valuable to them than the publicly leaked information is to us. from that perspective, the answer doesn't seem obvious, at least to me.
Mmm... I'm not sure it works.
The problem with engineering our way to a utopia, or at least, a humane government and economy, is determining who gets to write the specs that the engineers implement. It basically the same problem of deciding who should govern us, and how much of our own autonomy we should delegate to them. We're still going to have the same problems with a technocracy, that we already have with representative democracy.
The majority of my technical library is language-agnostic and written decades ago: The Pragmatic Programmer, Clean Code, Code Complete, for instance.
I dont like the general direction of this censorship thing is going in USA. Anything that is not agreed with main stream media will get banned.

Desktop email clients, and to a certain extent mobile native ones, can do this to a good enough approximation by changing one common setting.

Changing a setting is too much for many potential customers, but writing and/or maintaining an entire service all by yourself is qualitatively different.

If you're just talking about ls/dir, then PowerShell isn't really a win. The advantages are clearer when you start talking about lots and lots of commands. A lot (but not all!) Unix tools have flags to control their output format or input filters, but that means you have to memorize different flags for all of them. OTOH, in PS you just pipe to where/sort/select and they work for everything. IMO PowerShell has better separation of concerns.

The government has many interests. Their goals are driven by politicians who need votes. The skyrocketing rate of imprisonment comes in large part from the public's seemingly insatiable demand for harsher sentences. The only things that voters seem to hate more are tax increases.

I am left with a great feeling of unease if not disgust at the Valley's long con on the concept of free expression. Social media likes to say it's the great equalizer, the democratic weapon. Twitter likes to pretend it's single handedly responsible for the Arab Spring, and with great irony they are now suppressing some of the results of that message that are no longer "on brand".

Social media isn't about, and has never been about, freedom of expression, as much as sometimes we seem to think it is. It's about saying whatever you need to to get scale, and then suppressing dissident communities that might cost you ad revenue or you personally find distasteful once you have the power and authority to do so. It's a cultural appropriation of a hacker ethos for the sake of a business purpose.

As for this action, very few things enrage me as much as Wahhabism and Islamic extremism; in fact, sometimes I struggle with the cognitive desire to write off Islam and the Muslim world as a whole because of ISIL and its followers.

However, I don't believe that this idea makes much sense. You cannot kill a meme by driving it off your platform; religious zealots have traditionally faced much worse persecution than being banned from a service. They will spring up again in places harder to detect, with tools that strengthen their communities. Their enclaves will no longer coexist alongside peaceful messages; they will be harbored entirely within their own safe spaces, echo chambers that strengthen their hatred in their isolation. Instead of a potential ISIL sympathizer seeing ISIL messages alongside trending topics against extremism and terrorism, they will spend time on extremist forums in which there is no dissenting opinion. They will not see pictures of people lamenting the death, they will have communities where this death is entirely praised. Instead of seeing football scores or other young people facing their same problems that may have differing religious opinions, they will find more people willing to indoctrinate them when exploring whether or not they find meaning in Islamic extremism.

Twitter may think they are taking the oxygen out of the atmosphere by banning them, but in reality they are simply shifting the fire to someplace where it can burn hotter.

No, I don't want to "basically outlaw lobbying for representation". I said nothing of the sort. I said that organizations that directly profit from criminal laws shouldn't be able to lobby for them. Criminal laws do tremendous damage to the lives of the people they affect, and as such need to be deliberated without the influence of people that will financially benefit from them.

And yes, a world where criminal laws are not able to be influenced by people that will profit from them is definitely one I want to live in.
