IMO it's tough to do anything with yourself on the weekends with only two days off. There's not enough time to start to do things of consequence, as the two days are mostly spent recovering from the previous 5.

5 days of work. Get up, get self ready, get kids ready, get kids to school, work, get home, feed kids, get kids to bed. Too mentally tired to do anything now, and if it's not summer then the Sun's either down or going down. Hope you didn't need to mow the damn lawn again, or your evening's really shot.

Day 6, spend actually quality time with kids (finally!), begin to recover from the work week.

Day 7, starting to feel like a real human again, maybe do just a little stuff for one's self, get the house in order after 6 days of chaos, do other necessary stuff that was deferred during the work week.

Day 8: five days of work starts over.

Great job riot crew/rioters!

I started playing around with vector (both web client and mobile app) a couple of months ago, and really like it. I haven't tried the bridge stuff just yet, but am excited to try, especially now that it should be easier. I even installed my own personal server (synapse) for my family - again to kick the tires and test stuff out. Now that you've re-branded and changed the name, you should start thinking of neat taglines...here are few (admittedly silly ones) to get started:

- Riot: Come for the decentralized chat, stay for the community.
- Riot like its a true democracy.
- Riot: Think outside the box, act outside the norm, and chat outside the silos.
- Riot: Chat disruption for the matrix.

Once again, kudos to the Riot (fka Vector) team for this launch/re-launch!!!
It's a different issue. Acidification of the oceans happens mainly due to dissolved CO2 [0], while the acid in the atmosphere is mainly due to SO2 and NOx.

Greenhouse gases were not discussed in the article and were not part of that study, but as you may know, they're still going up. [1][2][3] (Oh yay, the sum of CFCs is actually going down.)

The lack of a manual and secret feeling things you can do on Snapchat are part of the appeal. Most people learn how to do them from others and snapchat is often used while you are with some friends in contrast to FB or Twitter which are more used solo.

> They are more targeted. Less civilians die.

Even "more targeted" would be sending in operatives to only kill those directly identified as combatants; no collateral damage at all to civilians, double-tap to the head and job done. Mossad used .22 pistols from point-blank distance for this purpose as their bullets posed no danger of exiting the skull and injuring bystanders.

But the USA doesn't do that, at least not for run-of-the-mill bad-guys, apparently because they consider the life of a soldier-citizen more valuable that a non-citizen.

That's what causes such distaste. One guy controlling a drone from Nevada is considered more important than some human-shield hostages in Pakistan.

It's because for interfaces you must declare the interface because the concrete type is inferred. So you get a cookie cutter ban.

To be honest, that seems to have been the product of a genocide which we did very little to prevent or palliate, far more than any actions by aid organizations. Quite a bit after the initial humanitarian crisis had eased, you did see the military takeover and there's little doubt that aid became problematic at that point.

The primary lesson though is that aid organizations can't handle a military without another military backing them. The UN couldn't make that happen, so the result was to promote conflict in the end.

Truly, that isn't even remotely analogues to the situation in Haiti.

I think the more difficult part writing by hand would be the redundancies -- not only do I have to know which line to put the note on, I have to know which symbol to draw. Which could be tough, as it forces the composer to be consciously aware that e.g. "this note is D#" rather than "this note should be two steps above the previous note in the current key".

For those wondering if a president can pardon someone who hasn't been convicted of anything, according to the Supreme Court, yes.

From Ex parte Garland, 1866:

> The power thus conferred is unlimited, with the exception stated. It extends to every offence known to the law, and may be exercised at any time after its commission, either before legal proceedings are taken, or during their pendency, or after conviction and judgment. This power of the President is not subject to legislative control. Congress can neither limit the effect of his pardon, nor exclude from its exercise any class of offenders. The benign prerogative of mercy reposed in him cannot be fettered by any legislative restrictions.

> It just happened that the Perl community went off the deep end and decided that tiny unreadable code was better than big readable code.

That's one way to look at it. The other is that they embedded more syntax which makes the learning curve longer, but yields more more efficient writing and reading of code once you've fully internalized that syntax. The big mistake, IMO, was that they also made the language easily usable to get something done before you've fully internalized those rules, which leads to subtly wrong or weird programs that just work most of the time.

Perl is fundamentally different than most languages in how it uses context, but you can get away with not really understanding that at all by just learning a few rules-of-thumb. This, predictably, results in frustration in the writer, as they run up against what look like rough edges and weird idiosyncrasies in the language but are often just places where they've never actually learned how Perl really works.

That's not to say Perl doesn't have actual rough points and problems (what language doesn't after almost 30 years?), but contrary to popular belief, Perl is actually highly designed, and usually conforms to a few core principles (even it those principles are not what many other languages emphasize).

The current license is effectively the MIT license, which lets downstream developers repackage the code for development works to do what they want, with the most important boilerplate being the part that says "we're not legally liable if this software causes problems."

The biggest flaw of MIT-like licenses is their silence on patent issues, compilers unfortunately being one of the cases where patents are indeed an issue (SEH and Steensgards being two major things well-known as being under patent). Legal opinions differ on what the effect is, and some companies with more aggressive legal departments are twitchy about the matter.

The Apache license covers patents in a satisfactory way while still retaining the permissibility of the MIT license. However, Apache and GPL aren't necessarily compatible with each other--Apache v2 and GPLv3 work around it by adding explicit compatibility clauses. The Apache v2/GPLv2 compatibility story is something that legal opinions differ on [1]. The exceptions being proposed are designed to explicitly guarantee compatibility between the two licenses.

[1] The consensus seems to be that it would just work. However, it is worth keeping in mind that Apple is a prominent contributor to LLVM, and Apple does seem to generally take a more pessimistic legal approach, as well as being very well-known for their abhorrence of GPLv3 code.

Yes Section 7. But GPLv2 (Linux Kernel) doesn't.

> Capital punishment isn't only retributive in character, it is also deterrence.

Every study of it -- as practiced in the modern US, at least -- I've seen has shown that it has no or negligible additional deterrent effect, so I'd say that in fact it is not deterrence. Of the five classes of justification for criminal punishment, the modern death penality is obviously not reformative or expiatory (but then, punishment itself usually isn't expiatory, limitations and exceptions to punishment usually are), and empirically not deterrent. If you are going to make a case for it, you probably need to appeal to either retributive or preventive/incapacitory theories of justice.

> what is justice without revenge?

Justice. Sentencing is here to take criminals away from the rest of society, in order to protect the latter rather than punish the former.
FWIW that Rust code can drop the last instance of `'a` since it can be inferred:

fn type_list<'a>(dex: &'a DexFile<'a>,
off: u32, parse_cls_desc: bool) -> Vec<&bstr> {

In fact, the only reason you need to write 'a anywhere there is to tell the compiler that the & reference and the lifetime parameter to DexFile are the same. If either of those two lifetimes didn't exist (e.g. if DexFile didn't take a lifetime) you could drop them entirely:

fn type_list(dex: &DexFile,
off: u32, parse_cls_desc: bool) -> Vec<&bstr> {

If you did have an iTunes account, you were prime for an iPhone purchase. That demographic had a clean experience of buying a mobile device that was super-capable (someone could pretty much out-of-the-box sell you things, without having ask for information - like a cc #). None of the existing devices had this, and it would be a long time until anyone was even close. I don't think this is a point of disconnect, I was highlighting one of the sometimes overlooked (imo) aspects of Apple's longer-term execution that I think made an impact.

Fair point on the competitors. It's hard to ignore Android as a competitor, and I might disagree with saying that Android wasn't an "original" competitor. But if you mean original as "existing at launch time", I'll happily agree (But by that definition, iPhone isn't a [original] competitor to Nokia/Blackberry/Windows, it just happened to destroy them - EDIT - it's a fair distinction).

you're effectively comparing a language with GC to a language with safe manual memory management, and misinterpreting this as evidence of bad syntactic choices.

I think economics will solve this one. To me waste and planned obsolescence seems like the much bigger problem. Green energy is just "more new stuff", we are good at that.

I was expecting this to be "why" as a policy matter, but instead it's a technical description (mostly about the fact that SMTP is different from HTTP, for people who might not appreciate that).

I guess the idea may be that Chinese people are not supposed to have or use Gmail accounts, but are allowed to communicate with other people who do. (This isn't necessarily a super-bizarre distinction to imagine a government making; the cost of not being allowed to exchange e-mail with anybody on Gmail is really quite high.)

Edit: also, people have told me that there is a legal restriction in China on the ability to listen on (some?) TCP ports or allow a hosting subscriber to do so (!) -- you're supposed to have a government license to have a TCP listener and your hosting provider or ISP can be punished for allowing you to operate one if you don't have the license. That means that Chinese Internet users couldn't easily set up their own personal mail servers free of government oversight and surveillance. So they can write to Gmail users all they like, but it may be trickier to receive a reply except via a government-approved mailserver.
