And replace it with what, exactly? That clause [0] is, after all, what created uniform national citizenship, and eliminated varying and discriminatory state citizenship policies. Even if one agrees that the "anchor baby" problem is something that warrants limiting citizenship to combat (highly contentious proposition itself), simply blowing up the entire post-Civil War model of US citizenship is a rather brute approach with wide ranging consequences outside the immediate target area.

You are right, current growth doesn't mean sustainable. I'd look at the example of the bay area and the endless growth there. Seattle is cheaper, less dense, has all the same pieces, allowing for lots of growth to catch up to that level.

That doesn't work too well when they get added faster than they get removed; which is what I mean by "no useful done marker". There's an issue tracker now instead of TODOs in the document (not to say that all of them have been removed) -- I don't think that _actually_ improves anything except optics :)
We have enough good enough currencies, but the world was missing a good store of value. Gold is too hard to store/buy/sell reliably (and with small margin).

This stuff was never written for the public at large. It was written for the (upper-)middle class. Particularly those who already know something about the subject or enough about the academic/cultural sphere that they can wade through it. A ten page article in N+1 about the decline of orchestras is not targeted at people who don't have some exposure to classical music.

One of the things Rich talks about in this talk is semantic versioning is fundamentally broken. In fact any versioning scheme that allows removal is broken. In some sense this model encourages Rich's ideas better - since you can't version directly, you either make a new library or maintain backwards compatibility.

Of course the current 'go get' model has a lot of downsides, e.g. Non deterministic builds. I still think it's worth considering building on, rather than trying to fix semver. All that's really missing is a stable monotonic identifier - something as simple as git tree height may be enough.

Yes -- John Holt, one of the early luminaries of the homeschooling movement [0], always used to talk about this -- that the "socialization" that happens in schools is more anti-socialization. It was common for parents to write to his newsletter that taking their kids out of school improved their behavior and morale considerably.

I had a similar problem with BCBS --- twice, actually, the latter of which cost me most of a year's deductible and almost left us without insurance. My impression is that the problem with the insurers, not with HC.gov.

Sort of off topic, but the contact rash sounds familiar to me. It may be 'nickel allergy', it runs in my family. Any watches, bracelets, glasses, belts with nickel in them touching skin for a while seems to cause it.
It is morally acceptable because it applies to everyone, and every citizen here gets to vote or run for office to try and change the system, and everyone agrees for reasons of having a civil society to accept the ensuing compromise.

And yes, getting a deduction or credit on your taxes for homeschooling or private schooling is a handout. It's the same as a person with no children asking for this same benefit. What you're actually advocating for is not public education at all. You're advocating for a direct democracy, everything is al la carte. To do that even remotely properly means:
a. compulsory voting (a number of countries do this including Australia and Brazil)
b. a minimum of 2043 line items to "vote" on by dollar amount where $0 is as valid as $[totaltax] or anywhere in between, meaning people can choose to starve schools, roads, the military, corporate welfare, public welfare; and that 2043 value comes from the number of pages for the federal budget.

I think it becomes a very different world if we're voting for issues with a dollar amount attached than voting for representatives. And I don't necessarily think it'd be better, just that it'd be very different.

I'm so embarrassed how America treats people entering the U.S.

It's the first experience foreigners have in our country, and we make it one of the worst experiences in the developed world.

Industries that benefit from tourism should lobby the Federal Government to improve the travel experience to, from, and within the US. I personally would fly at least a few more times a year if the TSA/CBP process treated people with urgency and dignity.
Wow. Looks like Cuban did invest in them. That's a massive f*-up.
I have an implementation, although it's currently closed source and is only available via API: http://0ut.ca/documentation

I believe it's closest to the standard that I've found, and if it isn't I would like to correct that.

There is a Strict parser which will fail on any error, and Loose parser which will discard errors when possible and follow the defacto parsing implementations.

It should be able to handle any of the edge cases, such as partially percent encoded unicode, invalid characters, normalization, or octal/hex ipv4 addresses. The only thing from your linked unittests that it will not handle is | and \ for windows paths, they will be encoded.

You can easily compare the expected output in your browser here if anyone is interested in seeing how parsing is done: http://0ut.ca/api;v1.0/validate/uri/after?hTtPs://foo:%F0%9F... You can also try validating strange relative URIs: http://0ut.ca/api;v1.0/validate/uri/after?+invalid-scheme:/p...?

I would be happy to explain any of the reasoning behind the parsing if anyone is interested.

You need to generate the MIR though (to feed to miri); this only fixes attacks that happen in the pipeline after MIR. Doing path and type resolution is the tough part and so far we only have one implementation of that.

Calling insurers and buying directly is potentially cheaper, because those insurers aren't selling marketplace plans --- the marketplace plans have guaranteed-issue requirements, and must conform to minimum standards that off-marketplace plans do not.

The downside is that if you have anything interesting on your medical history --- including many things in your past that aren't chronic conditions, but could be predictive of future health care costs in some circumstances --- you will be turned down without recourse. That's the problem with the pre-Obamacare individual health care market: it didn't work.
According to my optometrist, the PD measurement isn't part of the prescription. The prescription documents the lens, the PD is needed only for glasses.
Absolutely, I think the "perfect world" would be adopting some of the ideas Rich proposes but adding (git url + sha) as the dependency management system.

Of course for that to work well you'd also need to protect yourself from people deleting their git hub repos, or rewriting git history.

>I really hope this leads to a treatment that stops the progression of symptoms and fast.

it seems that it is just one among several paths to Parkinson's. Not being a doctor, just from googling, it seems that Parkinson's - specifically those protein clumps in the brain cells - is a result of inflammation, ie. immune system reaction. Some gut bacteria (or its by-product), as in this study, seems to be a trigger for such reaction. Looking into the spread of Parkinson's around the world - many places/localitites with high rates are completely different from each other - confirms to me that there are possibly many different triggers for such immune system reaction, one of them seems to be pesticides for example.

This is overly simplistic imo. We know that H&G groups periodically congregated and cooperated in groups far larger than a single band, such as to share in hunting the seasonal peak of herds. It's not that much of a stretch to believe they'd periodically congregate to advance a construction.
"Keeping America safe and enforcing our nation’s laws in an increasingly digital world depends on our ability to lawfully examine all materials entering the U.S.,"

What does "lawfully" even mean in this context? It's one of those words used specifically to excuse legally questionable practices at best, and outright illegal or unethical behavior by people in positions of authority, like parallel construction and evidence suppression.

You can say we lawfully performed a civil forfieture. Or lawfully detained a suspect for 8 months.
I have long wished that code changes to a repository could be accompanied by code refactorings that are intended to be applied to code using that repository

This was entirely feasible in Smalltalk. Not sure if people ever applied this outside the context of ORMs/database mapping. (Some shops did something like what you are describing in that limited context.) A short script that applied a specific refactoring could be placed in a specially named method on a particular class, for example. (Or some other mechanism could be used to store metadata on what versions the refactoring was applicable to.) It was also possible to quickly hack a GUI tool that you could bring up to selectively apply the refactorings.

Also, after the advent of "The Refactoring Browser" the parser engine was also used to build the refactorings directly built into the "IDE." (It's actually where the parser engine came from.)

(Not only did this rewrite engine have full syntactic power, with all values wild-carded, one could also script against values in the parse tree or provide the values from snippets of code.)
Of course I have a problem with that. I'm saying we don't know that's what happened.

Like you said they have zero obligations and that's where the conversation stops unless you actively ask to be rewarded. Talk to their community make a thread on their forums, make it known and carefully explain your vision and how they are falling short.

Here's a simple practical guide to tune the Java GC properly: http://stackoverflow.com/a/37448602/5994461

The only thing you need to do nowadays is set "-Xmx__g -Xms__g" to configure the min and max heap size (replace __with a number).

There is only one rule to follow: The min and max heap must be the EXACT SAME number. (Basically, the heap must be fixed size).

If they're not, the GC will resize the heap during the program execution, which is a very expensive process that will freeze the application and ruin performances.

---

https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/5fyhjb/golangs...

That comment is terrible advice. "-Xmx800m" then "-Xmx400m". He sets the max heap without setting the min, plus he runs the test for only a very short time not enough to stabilize the heap nor the optimizer. Bad bad bad.

As an American, I find this extremely disconcerting. I've long been deeply bothered by the unlimited power the border patrol has, and the lack of transparency it shows when it takes action. Nor am I comfortable how far beyond the border these extended powers are claimed by CBP to exist either.

Frankly, entering the country should be a much more transparent process - and barring something I dont know, I see no reason why this journalist should have been denied entry, other than someone at the border got a hair up their ass about it.

(Apologies to Quantum Field Theorist for the gross simplification below.)

I'm going to assume you know about basic calculus and Taylor series; if not, I'll explain what these are in a subsequent answer if you are interested.

In Quantum Field Theory, we cannot do exact calculations ... only (better and better) approximations. The way we do these calculations is very much similar to doing a Taylor series in Calculus. However, the calculations involved many complicated multi-dimensional integrals

Feynman found out a way to represent these complicated mathematical expressions that occured in those approximate calculations as pictures (known as Feynman diagrams). In these pictures, one could represent (real) particles interacting as lines (straight, curvy, etc., depending on the rules) that end in open space..

As we increased the order of expansion in the approximation (think of powers of the variable in a Taylor series), the terms corresponded to more and more diagrams, each increasing in complexity with the order of expansion.

Well, it turned out that, using the Feynman rules for translating mathematical expressions into parts of a pictures, that lines (straight, curvy) similar to that of "real" particles appeared inside the diagrams; however, these lines were all connected to others and did not end in open space: they do not correspond to any particles that we can measure directly.

However, we can think of these lines as representing "virtual" particles, that we cannot probe directly.

One thing to keep in mind (and that many that mention the "virtual particle" explanations often forget to mention): these diagrams are, in a very strong sense, an artifact of the way we do calculations using the best approximation techniques we know. These are useful computational tools. But individual diagrams should not be thought of as representing an actual precise interaction that is taking place. And virtual particles are just a way to make a connection between what we think we know ("real" particles interacting) and what our approximative way of calculating things give us.
In the vast majority of cases, concept of Undefined Behavior shouldn't even exist. All behavior should be defined. We have massively powerful machines and the performance advantage mostly doesn't outweigh the potential damage. And other languages, like Rust, even eliminate lot of UB without a lot of overhead.

There are exceptions to every rule, of course, but we need to re-evaluate our priorities as times change.
