Interesting exercise/experiment. It parses JS into a syntax tree, then puts it back together to JS again. Not sure if that can be called a "compiler"?

Admirable effort to write the compiler in the language that it implements.

Perhaps it can be more compact if the tokens were organized as a dictionary (object with tokens as properties) instead of separate constants, so that they can be looked up simpler than a list of if statements.

Why is this hard for you to understand?

I spent a lot of years helping scale a consultancy, and I walked away from that business for a year and a half to do Starfighter with Erin and Patrick. If you doubt how much money we made doing what I told Patrick to do (because my business partners told me to do it), well, Matasano's acquirer is a public company, and this is broken out in their financials. How was what I did any different from what he did?

Project-based consulting is lucrative, but also demanding and stressful. If you're doing the same thing over and over again to make money, then unless you start scaling headcount, it will get to feel like a treadmill. Meanwhile, if you try different things, some of them don't work out, and then people write comments like yours tearing you down and questioning your motives.
No news here. People think they're stepping on the brakes and actually hit the accelerator.
T530 had titanium cover and endoskeleton chassis.

Titanium?

walk over to my work T530, leaned up against the wall...

What 'cover' on this is made out of titanium? It's all black plastic. I've heard it has a magnesium skeleton...? Maybe you mean the hinges? I guess those could be titanium - they're some kind of metal.

Dude - the whole case on this thing is made out of plastic. I'm scratching the whole thing to find anything on this that's metal at all. What are you talking about?

I've told this story before, so here is the short version.

I replaced $girl in a sysadmin/programming role that would get used by other employees. According to my supervisor, she was always far more productive than me. He'd ask for an estimate of how long something would take and he'd always say, "That's too long. $girl could do it half the time."

Well, because it was my first tech job company, I sort of had impostor syndrome because of him but also thought of a way to test it out. One job we often had would get programmed from scratch several times a year and take about 2 or 3 hours to do. I cludged it into a simple framework where I could just edit the XML after the other employees started to use it. So when he asked me how long it was going to take before people could start using it I said thirty seconds.

"That's too long... $girl could do it 15..., wait, what?"

While there's no harm in filing additional FOIA requests, let's also add some deductive reasoning to the mix. Is this consistent with Russia's actions in other countries and contexts (as well as their own)? Yes. http://warontherocks.com/2016/11/trolling-for-trump-how-russ...

Have individuals close to the Kremlin strongly implied they had a role in this and have senior Russian officials stated clearly that they had contact with the Trump campaign during the election? Yes. http://www.haaretz.com/world-news/u-s-election-2016/1.752386

Did Russia even object today on the grounds that the allegations about their role were false? On the contrary, they were practically doing a victory lap.

There are plenty of debates still very worth having about whether the actions taken today are appropriate, whether a hostile stance towards Russia is merited, etc. But I've seen enough to convince me that Russia was engaged in an information operations campaign to cast doubt about the U.S. election and help Trump on the margins.

Only the naive think Russia hasn't owned up many of the largest utilities in the US, and/or that they couldn't significantly disrupt power distribution with the access they've acquired. The US doubtless has the same access to Russia's infrastructure.

For user defined templates, using string.Template() is a good alternative because it does not do multi-level attribute lookups. The single mapping lookup is safer. Also, the syntax is simpler, making it more suitable for exposure to end users and making it less hackable.

As an on-again-off-again libertarian, my preference would be for the government to do as little as absolutely possible so that we might never have to deal with public sector unions again. Then there are no incentives to lie.
Not to nitpick but do you have a source for officials saying that WMD's were found in Iraq? Obviously US officials said that intelligence pointed towards Iraq having them, but I'm not aware of any statements like "we found chemical weapons in _____."

Edit: Based on the downvotes I guess this appeared to be nitpicking, but if we're going to use Iraqi WMD's as the canonical example of why we can't rely on statements from the government, seems like we should make sure we don't change the facts to fit a narrative either.

Many immigrants, before they come to the US, hear that America is a land of opportunity, and that money is on the ground just waiting to be picked. These bottle pickers may not have started companies or become doctors, but they're still trying to live that opportunity and not letting it go to waste. Literally picking money off the ground, pure and simple, in spite of some casting shame or bad stereotypes on them. Not many can handle the discards at the bottom of the food chain.

For every piece of softare they buy from a 9 person ISV they probably run tens of millions of dollars of software from IBM, Oracle, Microsoft, Adobe, etc. Or custom made software developed by one of the large shops. And that's going to be the vast majority of the attack surface.
I'm "only" a developer, but clear, concise communication from PMs is the most important thing for me in my current position. Think about yourself as a developer: what do you want from PMs? Personally, I like clear communication and quick resolution regarding the issues I have (that can be solved by PM) in my day-to-day workflow. When I am working on something and hit a road block requiring PM input, the most important thing for me is to get feedback as soon as possible so I can continue on what I am doing.

Communication seems to be key. Ensure you understand and that you are understood.

That's a shame. Assange has earned your trust by never, once, being shown to have provided incorrect information. If you can cite a single instance where his information was not correct, I am very interested. Until then, he's gone through more hell even then Snowden with nobody able to dispute his releases. What more could he possibly do to earn your trust?

Here's an interesting point: do we know that the poultry/fish industries can absorb the cost of "humanely" raiding these animals without collapsing? Assuming the money is there and this law would not kill an industry, how can we ensure that these cost increases are not passed on to the consumer?

Living in the US is expensive enough. Would you guarantee "ethical eggs" if the cost was fewer poor people could afford them? I am not happy that we treat poultry and fish the way we do, but if that means keeping those products affordable the I'd take that over increasing the welfare of an animal.

I wouldn't recommend Asus routers. I used to have one, but got rid of it due to the serious security problems they were having:

The dumb thought rolling around my head is, "Why? They can't even meet the current limits!"

It worries me when regulators focus on moving the bar than meeting the bar. Irrespective of whether the limit is right or not.
NACLA just conveniently collected examples that I've repeatedly noticed in the media and in books over the years. They're tiny and unknown, so it's not the same. HRW is far bigger and has some real power. They have their hands in everything.

Which conviently backs US policy as if they were some independent 3rd party non profit. It's much more influential that way. Plus they don't have the baggage of acting consistent like the state department usually has to do while NSA/CIA/DoD run wild.

So they are a useful example of being an extension of US policy of exporting morality and human rights - selectively.

Which is my whole original point.
