100% agree with you regarding "hate speech", but I can't help but feel the US public have the wrong end of the stick when it comes to libel laws. Seems to be a current issue as Trump brought it up recently.

As far as I understand libel laws in the UK are as follows. Person A makes mass public claim X about person B. Person B suffers financially or in reputation by claim X. If claim X is proven to not be true, alongside some evidence that A knew this, then B is entitled to compensation and a full retraction by A.

That seems super fair to me and a great idea for other Governments.
> No, REST is an architectural style.

For APIs. But yes, we can argue semantics now. My point is, REST is a way to expose an API.
You could of course write something that compiles to JavaScript. There's a ton of options, some are even pretty nice (I like ClojureScript; want to try out Elm).

So using the right tool for the job is a poor metaphor in programming? Or is it advice that gets continually ignored?
In an ideal world that would be the case, but we are not in an ideal world. If your cryptography can prevent attackers from figuring out shared passwords, then it is a godsend.
America has something like 330 million people in it. 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.

In this particular instance though, it's worse than your complaint. We're talking about censoring an iconic image captured from an important time in our history. I'd be willing to bet that even among the anti-nipple people, this image gets a pass, hands down. Clearly there are some who object, but the vast majority of people understand the message in this image isn't 'enjoy looking at a naked young girl'.

Aiding DPRK would be a dangerous move. Either their populace starves or their weapons program loses money. If the population starves, there's a huge higher chance of revolution. As terrible as it is, it's a win-win for the international community, and even North Korea as well, in the long term.
Because chances are that whatever custom UI/UX design you come up with isn't going to be better (or even as good as) OS UI toolkits that've been designed by experts, battle tested for decades, and used for every type of application known to man.

Applications with native UIs also tend to give a a better impression of responsiveness, and they reduce mental load for your users since they're don't have to relearn much (if anything). They can rest assured that every button and popup menu and text field (for example) functions identically to every other such control they've encountered on the system and in other native apps. This is worth way more than most people think.

One easy example of this is text fields in OS X. Native text fields there all have a form of emacs key bindings built into them to make powerful text navigation and manipulation a systemwide thing. Every application built with Cocoa gets this for free, but more often than not applications using non-native UIs don't implement this functionality at all. This is highly frustrating when you've worked said bindings into your workflow.
Well, if it is a dump of memory, than what is a 'fast save' feature?
I've done something similar in node to ensure URIs like those cannot walk up past a base directory:

function saferesolve(base, target) {
var targetPath = '.' + path.posix.normalize('/' + target)
return path.posix.resolve(base, targetPath)
}

saferesolve("./datasource", "a/b") === "./datasource/a/b"
saferesolve("./datasource", "a/b/../c") === "./datasource/a/c"
saferesolve("./datasource", "../..") === "./datasource"
saferesolve("./datasource", "../../a/b") === "./datasource/a/b"
saferesolve("./datasource", "../../a/b/..") === "./datasource/a"

The digital music industry can explore ample amount of revenue generation
Current time the digital music market trends implicate the sharpest revenues will be attributed to live streaming music. The streaming music will penetrate 20% of the adult population in top 10 music markets. There is a huge potential in a click or a tap in generating revenue for the digital music industry worldwide. The top track was streamed 42.54 million times on Spotify in a week.
The theatrical dimension doesn't change much. That's how strange the US is in this respect. The amount of censorship for "real" violence is virtually nonexistent, contrary to the amount of censorship applied to sex, real or otherwise.

Do Americans censor "real" violence more than theatrical violence? Possibly. Do they censor "real" violence less than any form of nudity? Yes.

You can show Braveheart or a video of a street mugging to a bunch of 8-10 year old kids at school but you can't show them a movie where (god forbid) a pair of tits appears on screen. At the very least, the uproar will be an order of magnitude larger for the boobs as compared to the violence.

And once again, this is not the norm around the world. The US is special.

I'm gonna stop you right there. Node is a helpful tool and I enjoy using it, but Sequelize was nothing but pure pain when I used it. You're much better off running raw SQL, or using a query builder like KnexJS.

I don't even see how an "anti-Islam, pro-Christian" bias justifies the mistake here; the US government is, historically pretty high on the list of nations fomenting specifically Islamic sectarian violence.

The motivation for doing so may be geopolitical rather than religious on the part of decisionmakers, but then, that's hardly unique among nations fomenting sectarian violence, Islamic or otherwise.
I'd like to think that one of the ways we can address the urgency of global warming is to move our manufacturing industries into space, and re-vitalize Earth as a new garden planet. Like, I know its just sci-fi, but I could imagine that no manufacturing at all ever needs to be done down here - we can do it all on an Asteroid - and live in a garden of eden, receiving our latest toys directly from orbit. I imagine a day when I order my Amazon/Apple/Tesla product by satellite, and it slowly flies itself down into the atmosphere and delivers itself to me...

I suggest you choose to fall in love with Ember.js. She is the prettiest girl in your small town and she's really friendly. Start calling yourself a programmer instead of a coder - and help move Ember toward being, not just a framework, but an SDK for the web. Everyone can complain all they want about CSS and how it's broken etc, but no one has come up with a better solution. It's not the dark ages... in fact, it's the best time in web development so far. Developers haven't had to be 'designers' in the way they are being forced to now - with variable screen-size, and alternate UI patterns for each. HTML in little dynamic templates, variables for CSS preprocessors, ES6, and modular JS patterns. Things are wonderful. +1 for a new mental paradigm.
What about the fat industry? Didn't they have enough money to pay for scientists to shift the blame to sugar?
Development process and software engineering should be part of any good course. At my university we had basic, ffirst year courses covering some practical coding, shell programming and various other sorts of usefuk stuff.

It may depend on your jurisdiction, but I don't think in most jurisdictions it is any harder to collect a judgment from small clams court than it is any other judgment... but I know from personal experience how hard it can be to collect a judgment! (Though in my case, after a lot of perseverance, time and money, I was able to finally collect- and even if it wasn't worth the time, I would probably do it over again, for the experience and for the fact that I believe it will help keep the same person from ripping off someone else in the future- someone else that may not be able to fight back.
When in fact nothing can be blamed but our overconsumption of almost everything but vegetables and fruits.

I eat about 70% from my calories in carbs (some are refined), but it's just 2500kcal calories per day. I'm pretty sure the fact that average US citizen eats 3500kcal daily has more to do with anything than what particular ingredient one eats.

Hopefully the URL spec (https://url.spec.whatwg.org) is helpful here in finding other potentially unsafe behaviours that browsers have, though given much of it seems to be dealing with the fact that urllib.urlparse doesn't match what browsers do in many, many ways it's probably of limited help. (Nobody really implements it yet; it's just an attempt at standardising rough intersection semantics of what browsers currently do. Eventually, however, it should suffice, once legacy browsers eventually die.)

SpaceX is years ahead of Blue Origin at this point, and rather than aiming for a rocket larger than a Falcon Heavy / Delta IV heavy as a 'starter' (which of course is excellent PR and makes Blue Origin right away a manufacturer of larger rockets than SpaceX in the eyes of some) maybe they should go for something a bit less ambitious to lob into orbit, failure is a lot cheaper on a smaller scale, and in the beginning there most likely will be failures.

Like UK libel laws that are so nice that they created a phenomenon of "libel tourism" where people come into UK to sue others for libel because in other places they'd be laughed out of court?

Or like courts forcing search engines remove pages because some person feels uneasy with true public information about them being out there?

Or criminal penalties for "insulting a public servant" in France, bans on "hate speech" according to day-to-day political considerations in many countries and over EU in general [1], etc. Note that unlike Facebook, which is private company and can only manage its content, these laws would apply to every platform in EU.

Yes, it'd be terrible if something like First Amendment would have an effect in Europe too. That smacks of freedom of speech or something awful like that!

OK, so the original one used a verb at the end of the URL, whereas it should have used a noun. In practice, this wil often means that the URL is almost identical - here for example, it will be:

POST /accounts/12345/deposits

instead of:

POST /accounts/12345/deposit

Perhaps your example would be more obvious if it had different terms, where the noun and verb were more distinct - maybe 'game' and 'play'.

Even then, from experience, you end up with some horrible URLs just so it's RESTful. While I try to follow REST, I balance it against making the API readable by human beings.

Dear Roland,

I am a software developer with experience in scientific software development on Linux in C, Fortran ,and MATLAB and web development using Ruby on Rails, SQL, React, and JavaScript. I am looking for new opportunities in software development.

I have 15 years experience as a senior research geophysicist writing scientific data analysis software with geophysical service and energy companies in oil and gas exploration. I am currently an independent consultant creating and developing implementations of complex imaging, reservoir property analysis algorithms and web applications for oil&gas, geothermal and engineering projects.

You can see some of the code I have written at github. My résumé and references are attached. I can be reached by email or phone (415) 692-3232. Thank you very much for your consideration, I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Best Regards,

But it's not the same, because not all platforms use a markup language with a separate style language in addition to the actual programming language.

A JVM or .NET based web would have been a very different kind of platform.
I think web browsers are a better example of it. The HTML parsing/DOM tree system usually is pretty forgiving about missing/malformed tags, but still always returns a result rendered as if the HTML had been written to spec.
Where in America is 16 and 17 legal for appearing in pornography? There are places with age of consent laws that low, but often times there's still a band around that age that their partner has to fall into (i.e. if you're 45, 16 is still off limits).

I tried that. Evil seems to mess up on things now and then. Clicking the mouse acts as a command or something, wiping out ".". And macros, now and then, act up. As in, they won't record properly or something. On large Rust files, things grind to a halt if I run a macro on every line, whereas in Vim proper, things always stay speedy.

In concept though, it is the best solution. Maybe I just have a broken config or something.
If you know how vim-dispatch works, you'll know that it just opens up a split in Tmux/Screen or makes a new tab/window in your terminal emulator to run the command "asynchronously." While it does work, it's definitely a hack and not a feature of Vim.
The thing is, having tried Evil/Spacemacs, they're still really Emacs not Vim.

At some point you have drop out of the pseudo Vim world do things the Emacs way, keybindings and all.

For me personally, that's not what I want.

e.g. I like to use C-h as an alternative to backspace, it helps relieves my RSA not have to reach for backspace. Spacemacs provides that binding in some places but not all.

To get get C-h to consistently act as backspace I ended up effectively breaking the help system (which for an Emacs newbie like me is a bad thing).

I found loads of other things like that where I just want it to work the Vim way.

What I _really_ want is a better Vim not another editor pretending to be Vim on a superficial level. I'm glad to have the options that both Vim 8 and NeoVim offer.

Of course Emacs is an amazing bit of software and Spacemacs is a great configuration so if they work for you, more power to you.

They could potentially have this... if they didn't filter or limit content at all (Safe Harbor) but Facebook (and Twitter) have explicitly chosen to do otherwise. They want to control what content is posted to them, very much so.

Facebook (and Twitter) want to have a particular narrative, and one that's ultimately to make their advertisers happier. If you don't agree with that (and, imho, you should take issue with that) then choose an actually free platform. One controlled by an American for-profit company will never be a truly free platform.

> HTML5 doesn't refuse to accept anything that HTML 4 accepted.

It does. It doesn't accept NET syntax, i.e., `p/This is contents of a p elements/`. (No browser ever supported this, but because HTML 4 is defined to be an SGML application and it's DTD allows NET syntax to be used, it is theoretically conforming HTML 4.)
While I refuse to have the things I own to communicate say something about who I am and what I do, I do think that there is a fine line between doing something brave and bad in design.

Standard earbuds don't fit in my ears very well, cause headaches and are constantly falling out. The image of the pen charging and pointing directly at your crotch or chest while using the device is, to say the least, non-optimal.

It seems to me that the past Apple, perfect aesthetic with great functionality (even as a non-user of Apple products, except for a macbook supplied by my company for work purposes, I must admit this is true) is slowly losing it's way in an attempt to constantly prove that they are moving in some forward direction. Whether or not forward means over a cliff has yet to be seen, but I won't suggest that there is a false dichotomy between absolute success and absolute failure either. I think that this step will lose them further market share, but they'll still make a ton of money.
It seems like the ideal endgame for something like this for google is patent licensing, in which case they don't actually need to produce a product themselves.

I'm saying there was hope. I remember 2005. IE was getting better. Chrome/Firefox/Opera were close enough, once I got one of them working i barely had to do anything. So it was essentially targeting 2 platforms (IE and non-IE) and hoping IE would get fixed. Today that problem is largely solved, but we have created an unmanageable lasagna of complexity in the process.

In writing some replies to a couple of comments, I think that the article is referring to cultural privilege. Americans have the privilege as being the most powerful western culture, Facebook comes from an educated, technological, rich, American, culture and cannot see others that with less power should have some of influence in how a global culture can be. Also, as with most forms of privilege it's not common at all that those at the top need to compromise with those below and characteristic is that those with the most priviledge cannot see their own position at the top and inability to acknowledge their issues of others.

What the article is showing is the privilege of American culture interacting with other cultures and peoples.

edits: I think it's actually a great time for the Internet - I am seeing this as the growing pains of a new global culture - a new global way of looking at the world. We are seeing the makers and police of the rich west seeing that the world is more complex and diverse than they are comfortable with, and the result will be interesting to say the least, and glorious and rich if all cultures can be supported in a global way.
