>I assure you, there are a lot of us who see the basic logic around this and think we should stop worrying about the occasional nipple.

I think the basic problem here is not that there aren't Americans who don't have a problem with seeing a bit of nipple, but that a majority of Americans don't seem to understand that if you censor this kind of thing from people, it makes them a lot more reactive to it when they do in fact encounter it - that is to say, by removing from society any acceptance of sex as a positive thing, American society has become far more malleable and reactive to sex - and thus can be sold more things using sex - than it should be.

Sex wouldn't be a billion-dollar industry if nobody was bothered by seeing it now and then.

The same position, by the way, can be taken with regard to the way Americans view their wars. The average American has no clue what it actually means to let their military-industrial complex run rampant across the globe - because they don't see the images, the video, the very real facts of the matter, on the ground. And thus, those who profit from such acts, profit.

This is interesting! For me using <ESC> does indeed take a few seconds to complete commenting out the block. However, I have jk mapped to <ESC> and the commenting happens instantly using jk which makes sense in the context of your explanation.
There seems to be increasing evidence that high blood sugar over a long period of time is very bad for you. That insulin response keeps this under control mostly... but that it was probably never meant to be active all day, every day. So eating lots of sugar (and carbs in general) at every meal is probably long term, not the best thing you can do.

I like to think of people as having chronological age as well as a [skill] age, with chronological age being largely irrelevant among adults. I'm 41 and my co-founder is 27. He had been programming Java for 7 years when I met him, and now he's a decade in. He has taught me a ton about programming, and I expect the lessons to continue. As a person gets older and specializes, the likelihood that someone younger than them, on a separate path, will have a higher [skill] age increases, which means they need to be increasingly open to learning from chronologically younger people.

It's apropos that the creator of C++ would say something like that. I wonder of Alan Kay, John McCarthy or Guido van Rossum would agree.
I don't think it would be considered any sort of derivative work. Consider recipes (and other published algorithms). Cooked dishes are not considered a derivative of the recipe, and those are step by step instructions for creating the thing in question. Codes are one step further removed in that they give tolerances and the like, so they don't even describe an object. If I write, "You should not use md5 to store passwords." it's not like all programs storing passwords with bcrypt written by people who have read that sentence are derivatives of my copyrighted work.
> The hypothesis is that sugar does not make people feel full whereas fat does, so they eat more.

They still eat about 1500kcal of fat and protein - of which I eat about half the amount.

If you were really talking about feeling full, nothing makes you feel more full than a belly and guts filled with lovely starch/fiber from fruits and vegetables, which an average US eats little if not any.
There are so many jokes to be made about this country. I'm guilty as making them and finding them humorous. But there are people who live in this country, who can't escape, who are struck by fear, who are brainwashed, who know nothing of the outside world.
It is far more religiously-motivated than you seem to care to admit. There are very, very few atheists in Congress calling for the bombing of Iran, and far, far more Christians who seem to be utterly okay with demolishing the Middle East in order to bring about Armageddon. Is that not clear to you, at this point?

Sorry, I can't allow the context to make it seem as if I approve of being deliberately thoughtless. I generally try hard myself not to be incorrect (politically) since it would break one of Bill and Ted's two commandments.

I just dislike it when Liberalism, which I believe in whole-heartedly pretty much exactly as I think Mill intended, is dragged into this debate about censorship, when it was about what should be illegal not what was moral or immoral. (Indeed, it is a way for people who disagree with each other about what is immoral to live in the same country under the same law and feel safe.)
This quote from the article is a great one:

"It was a very smart thing the sugar industry did because review papers, especially if you get them published in a very prominent journal, tend to shape the overall scientific discussion"

Has the acceptance policy for prominent journals improved that we're sure this is not happening now? I have suspicions that this is likely still happening more frequently then we might expect (i.e. pharmaceutical trials, etc.).
You do understand the citizens of North Korea are effectively captives, and victims, not enablers of the regime, right?

Starving out North Korea to win the war will leave behind nothing worth rescuing.
Well right off the top of my head my first thought was "A different way of looking at things".

People always have a different perspective to offer, regardless of age.
Right, but the problem with these partial systems is that they still require the driver to be fully attentive.
Individual food components can always be "blamed" relatively to their impact.

You may be accidentaly shifting blame to overconsumption. Something the sugar industry would do :-)
We're not talking about censoring the image in any meaningful sense; FB told them it was cool if they blurred out the nudity. From FB's perspective, they want to draw a hard line against child nudity so they don't have to deal with the slippery slope between child porn and "art", even though no one thinks this is the former. Personally, I think blurring out the nudity is a pretty reasonable compromise.
If anyone is curious, here is the thread in question where the vim async API was proposed and the neovim devs proposed collaboration and were shut down without actually looking at the details:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/vim_dev/_SbMTGshzVc/...

Some choice posts:

- Bram (vim author's) response to whether he looked at existing implementation in neovim: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/vim_dev/_SbMTGshzVc/wXmJuL4P...

- Thiago (neovim author's) response to Bram, which was ignored: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/vim_dev/_SbMTGshzVc/XZEXxaxD...

There are lots of other instances of this exact interaction between neovim and vim over and over, it's infuriating. Neovim was started precisely for this reason, an async proposal was made (in 2014!!) which was rudely shut down and all efforts of collaboration were ignored.
It would seem that calories don't provide any metric with respect to psychological effect, whether caused by the food or otherwise.

Really? Have you been to the Middle East, or is your definition of "the world" a handful of western European countries?
[Assuming you mean "dissent".] I see plenty of complaining about what Facebook doesn't allow... like the article we're referring to for example. I even see some on Facebook, especially about the breastfeeding policy. See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Facebook#Censorsh...
I'm pretty cold, but that's ice cold.

What they should do is say, we'll give you aid if you let us build a military base in Pyongyang and then litter the whole country with flyers announcing the potential aide but on those conditions, and let it go from there.
I'm 53 and trained in a lot of other professions.

I worked as an architect, which I didn't like too much, esp. the low pay. even if I was highly successful, been on national TV and press, exhibitions, ...
Then I got into more technical jobs, like surveying, civil engineering, stage design, movies and also a lot more SW jobs. They were much more interesting and I got paid double.

Then I settled as SW developer in a big internet company, which was nice for a few years, but then I took a big risc with a B2B SW project which failed. Then I worked in knowledge engineering and mechanical engineering (support Formula 1 teams with their engine testing, I was basically a virtual Formula 1 "test driver"), which was nice I guess.

But in the end getting back from mixed engineering jobs to sole SW engineering made most fun. Now I'm writing compilers.

For the Formula 1 e.g. I wrote a C++ cross-compiler for an unknown platform, for which we only guessed what it was in reality (it was a blackbox with custom PCI boards), but it was successful and eventually helped this team win a couple of championships. (the unknown platform was 10x faster than the others). But technically it was as simple as stripping g++ from all virtual RTTI calls and IO.

Writing my own compilers and now also improving the libraries and VM's around makes a lot of fun, and has a lot of impact. E.g. planning a JIT. It's not as dangerous and has not a high budget as high speed controllers for high speed cars, with 10-20 PC's and a lot of custom real-time HW involved. (For which I also planned a JIT for a Visual Basic like real-time scripting language, but would have never been allowed to actually do it).
But you are much more independent, have much less stress and much higher pay.
SW engineer is the top job. Esp. in the USA.
I wanted to blame Brainfuck, but I realized it was me, not the tool.
I dunno. I see your point and if it were nearly any other nation, I'd even agree, but there's something special about the DPRK. I frankly don't see them ever revolting. It's perhaps the only country that's so successfully isolated it's population and -- as much as I dislike the term -- brainwashed them.

I'm beginning to think they'd sooner starve than revolt. After all, they've already been through this so many times...
Ah, misunderstood :).

I've been doing the same ~7hr drive + workday for 2 years. Both myself and my wife noticed I was a lot less wiped out after AP. We have the car ~3 months before AP so it was a pretty controlled change.
Their sub-orbital rocket "New Shepard" has launched and landed 4 times (i think, could be 3 times), with very minimal refurb in between each launch so far.

So from that perspective, very reusable.

But that's also a sub-orbital rocket. It's only a little bigger than SpaceX's landing legs without a payload[0]. So it might not be the most accurate comparison. Also, they have yet to launch anything else. So it's clearly still early for them as a company.

> you end up with some horrible URLs just so it's RESTful

No, you don't. RESTful applications use URLs as opaque identifiers, and communicate all information via resource representations. Communicating information via resource identifiers is decidedly not-RESTful, so any particular URL structure chosen to communicate specific information in the URL is, ipso facto, not RESTful.
> its impossible to use the word, dynamic, in a pejorative sense

The Times They Are A-Changin'.. No bullshit bingo is complete without mentioning "dynamic" few times.
There's actually probably an interesting bigger point here. Why is this image the content that sparked so much outrage? As you point out, they ban a lot of things on behalf of other countries. There's been complaints of conservatives getting censored (who knows how accurate those are). And of course, the hot mic gaff of Zuckerberg talking with Angela Merkel about censoring migrant crisis criticism on Facebook.

So is this just the event that caused sentiment to hit critical mass? Or did it touch a deeper nerve that's got people stirred up?
Depends on the person. I can eat stupid amounts of fruit and vegetables... Low-carb is the only way I can not feel hungry.

Of course, the general population does like their carbs to be the refined type.
I have nothing to add. I just wanted to that say when I read "Most Beautiful Typeface" I thought it was going to be another boring post about Helvetica, and it was not, and I'm really glad for that.
It's OK but I could never get it to do things beyond basic editing like window management right.
Indeed, I think it's insulting to old and young alike to assume that the young know more about "technology".

At this point my sister-in-law (10 years older than I) and my mother-in-law (30 years older) know more about social networking and Facebook than I do, because I do not use these things and they use them almost daily. Plenty of old people know how to use computers and technology. Plenty of young people do not.

Furthermore, just knowing how to use Snapchat is not really knowing about "technology," any more than knowing how to drive a car makes one a mechanical engineer or knowing how to plug a gizmo into the wall means one knows about electrical theory. So there are some newer things out there that use a smartphone. So what; knowing how to use them does not make one knowledgeable about technology or smart.

If this writer wanted to know how to use Snapchat, good. Find someone who knows how to use Snapchat. One's Snapchat abilities has nothing to do with one's age.

It took almost 50 years to starting to debunk health issues created by Sugar. It took decades to accept the health issues created by Lead and Asbestos.

Sometime I wonder if chemicals from bottled water, radiation from Cellular/Wifi/Bluetooth pose health risks and we will find it out decades later.
This is exactly the kind of class I believe should be available to everyone studying software engineering (or similar). Version control is just one of many technologies and skills that most people I know didn't see until after University.

I think that fruits have an issue too.
The fruit we get today has been bred to contain a lot more sugar than they did originally. I'm not convinced that lots of fruit all the time is as good for you as it ought to be.
Yet we make no distinction between theatrical nudity and actual nudity.
Their response would most likely be "no thanks". Would that make it any better than not offering to help at all?
No, it really is a Fourier series.

More precisely take a set of points, do a DFT, then make it infinite by making the rest of the terms 0. You now have the Fourier series of a periodic function that takes hits all of those points. Furthermore it is the "smallest" possible such periodic function in the L2 norm on periodic functions.

Keep in mind that JS is leverage the browser, which gets installed everywhere, and because of a persistent push to standardize, delivers mostly the same user experience across platforms these days.

My point was that Java, Flash or Silverlight could have done the same if you replace the browser with a similar platform in those ecosystems. JS is getting to leverage the powerful browser platform with native integration, while the others were mere plugins.

Would be very different if the browser was a JVM based platform.

I worked IT when I was a freshman in college and the printers were known to fail automatically after a certain amount of pages. To fix it, we would just remove a certain part and out it back in. We'd get much more life out of it because it just reset the counter.
Other than human life, what is there right now that's worth rescuing?

I'm not trying to be provocative. I just can't for the life of me find an argument for preserving anything in the DPRK aside from human life. Since the parent post is effectively arguing that ending the North Korean regime is worth sacrificing some number of people, I'm struggling to understand your counter-argument.

The basic issue is that reviews are just looking for glaring problems in the presentation. To really test an article one has to replicate the experiment from the ground up. And these days thats damn hard and expensive to do.
I've been saying it for a while. I talked to the developers of this product about a decade ago:

Fat based foods are pricier vs sugar based. Given limited household budget for food, margins tend to be lower on Fat based products.

And you can eat a lot more sugar based food vs fat based food on per food weight basis.
I understand Tesla's rush to market as it wants to sell cars to make money to feed its research/work. So it needs the marketing gimmick/advantage to sell more cars.

But I don't get what Uber is getting by using partial autonomous vehicles. Their only goal is to replace its fleet with fully autonomous cars. To that end, outside of getting data I don't see anything else. By that logic I would be really surprised if they expanded their partial autonomous offering beyond what they have today.

Or move to the back-end, where things move at a more survivable pace. Here's the dirty secret, too: for the most part, the work you do there is actually easier than front-end work, since you have better tooling and frameworks that don't shift under you like quicksand. And building a CRUD backend to a REST API might be a tad tedious, but it's a whole lot less fiddly than mucking about with CSS and trying to make web UIs pixel perfect in every mongrel browser under the sun.
It's hard to put my finger on exactly what it is I don't like about it. After rereading the table of contents I certainly don't disagree with some things (gdb, valgrind, version control, package management, are all good things).

I think my biggest beef is it seems to approach C as if it is a general purpose language, and I would argue that in the 21st century C is no longer a general purpose language. It is at its best now when used for systems programming, embedded programming, and making portable libraries (and the last is also no longer the exclusive domain of C, as besides C++ there are a couple other languages that can export C abi compatible functions and have unobtrusive runtimes).

Also, Klemens seems to like autotools. I don't hate autotools as much as others, as I remember a world before autotools was ubiquitous and it truly sucked. However, the combination of compilers not sucking like they used to (if you are using C99, you have a lot more features than you did on some crappy PCC derived vendor supplied compiler, even if you stick only to pure C99, and the odds of your compiler not "just working" on the C99 code is pretty slim) means that for simple projects a makefile that respects the CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, CC &c. is sufficient; for larger programs, there are serious alternatives to autotools. Obviously none of them are as dominant as autotools, but cmake is certainly prevalent enough to be a good place to recommend people start at.
Fair enough. I was referring to the first world, and specifically the Western world.

The point remains. The US is a very special case in this respect.

I would further argue that even with the middle east involved, such an ascetic rejection of nudity is hardly the norm across the world. But that's still addressing a tangential (and, I think, pedantic) point.
I had made a mental note some years ago to buy a copy of the font. It seems like a good time to do so.
I disagree. VCS use in an early stage of a project can lead to less elegant and coherent systems, because you treat everything as a series of patches from day 1.

The greatest works of humanity were written without a VCS (novels, operas). Using a VCS is only mandatory for multi-person projects.

The documentary "Fed Up" is about sugar and was the first time I was made aware there is no daily RDA % for sugar on nutrition labels. They just have the grams. They lobbied very hard to make it that way, because having "4700%" for a daily RDA wouldn't look very good!

> That seems super fair

Wait until you make a political commentary and spend next 5 years in courts because the person you criticized has a lot of money to spend on lawyers. You may be able to prove beyond reasonable doubt you criticism is true, or maybe not (just read any political argument and see how much of political criticism is provable by law? Is "Trump unfit to be president" provable or "Hillary is corrupt" provable in court? Would you want to risk your life savings and economical well-being of your family on it?)
Now add to it that the court is also held in the country you've never been to, don't know the laws of and don't have the money do go there. How fair is that now?

In fact, the issue of libel tourism got so bad that both UK and US made specific laws to target it. [1]

And that's what the UN HRC has to say about it[2]:

The Committee is concerned that the State party's practical application of the law of libel has served to discourage critical media reporting on matters of serious public interest, adversely affecting the ability of scholars and journalists to publish their work, including through the phenomenon known as "libel tourism." The advent of the internet and the international distribution of foreign media also create the danger that a State party's unduly restrictive libel law will affect freedom of expression worldwide on matters of valid public interest.

If the UN says you have problem with freedom of speech, you do have problem with freedom of speech.
