In The Netherlands a similar bill has been submitted to our upper house for approval last September. I hope it passes, although there is vocal opposition against this issue.

From a society's perspective opt-out makes perfect sense. If you are really against organ donation, just register yourself as such; it takes all of five minutes. I don't even care why you would want to keep all your organs after death, it's not my call.

The reason to go for opt-out rather than opt-in is because a lot of people simply don't register their preference, even when they are, rationally speaking, all for organ donation — that's the critical point. Thinking about your own mortality sucks, and visiting the website where you can register yourself as a donor (necessary for the opt-in model) is something that hovers somewhere on the eternal to-do list, but somehow they never get around to it. Because it is never you that suddenly dies in a freak accident.

If you are against organ donation, you will however register that preference the moment such a bill is passed into law.

That's it. Statistics and psychology (and saving lives) are the reason states consider opt-out over opt-in. The state isn't invading your corporeal sovereignty, you are not being harvested for organs the moment you enter a hospital (well, not in France or The Netherlands at least), and you still get to decide.
I've used a T400 as my kitchen laptop for years, and recently put Win10 on it. I put my SSD in it, back with Win8. The laptop still works great, and it's my main PowerShell workstation - it's where I wrote my Arkdata player tracker static site. (Yes, I wrote it while standing in my kitchen.)

The market is the same, really. What you're seeing is the end of Moore's law, with 10 year old laptops still being effective compute devices. This wasn't true in 2005 - that 1995 laptop was painfully old.
now a blamed bully might argue that correlation != causation.

> The IETF has said that pervasive monitoring is an attack, and the Internet Architecture Board (the IETF’s parent organization) recommends that new protocols use encryption by default.

While HTTPS does prevent just anyone from monitoring, I've long been under the impression that the government, and possibly influential corporations, probably have access to any certificates issued by the large CAs.

Is this a tinfoil hat theory? Is anything legally or technically preventing this from happening, and/or are there ways for me to know when my own browsing is truly private between myself and only the party at the other end, and not other curious or intrusive uninvited third parties?

You are a bit mistaken on your information. Just dive in with Blender and go for it. Blender is full features and open source allowing you to add-on. Maya also allows to add-on. Modo doesn't support good animation yet, so it's just modeling right now still. 3ds Max is like Blender and Maya.
That's how progress works.

50 years ago you could work on a brand new car with just the tools in your garage, now you'd need specialized knowledge, equipment, and more to the point that it's not really possible to be a home mechanic on many areas.

This isn't new for new's sake, these improvements bring real benefits. And as things get more complex, people will specialize more and more. In the future, your average "dev" might not know the ins and outs of how the transport layer works, but that's okay because there is someone else who mainly only does that.
I always push Processwire for questions like this. It is very versatile and makes for a capable CMS / blog / whatever.

I'm planning on using processwire to build a webstore with either Foxycart or Snipcart.

Just as a starter I will be moving my personal blog over to it just so I can have one processwire app in production.
I just got one with the discrete graphics, and it works great with nvidia-prime. I only had to configure the touchpad a bit to avoid bumping it while I type. I upgraded from my beloved T420, and this is a great laptop.

I keep buying refurbished T420 laptops; even though my employer provided T450, I cannot switch to keyboard without standard Insert/Delete/Home/End set - not to mention losing the Ultrabay flexibility etc.

T420 was the pinacle of the Thinkpads for me; T530 was a meh, T540 is the only time I've seen co-workers genuinely slam their laptops (removal of touchpad buttons etc). T450 brought touchpad buttons and some separation between Function keys, but the home row seems to be gone for good :<

Yeah and you walk A LOT in New York which I really like.
I carry an organ donation card and have taken part in organ donation signup drives. I find this appalling as well. It's equivalent to the government giving itself ownership of your body. How can't it change the relationship between patients and doctors? It's insane. People have also quickly forgotten the organ theft scandals of the last 40 years where hospitals stole organs from bodies for research and profit.
Taipei, Taiwan. The friendliest people you will ever meet, living and working in the most convenient country you will ever visit. Everything for daily life is within walking distance but if you do need something a bit further out, public and private transportation is exceptionally cheap and effective. The weather is fantastic year-round (save for heavy rains sometimes coming from the ocean) and taking a weekend to visit Kenting in the south by high-speed rail is a treat. I'm already saving up to do it.
The How and Why of Spark and Couchbase
That's mostly because of the architecture of Unity3D being both efficient and productive and UE4 being much more so. They're radically different architectures than what three/babylon have. And the fact that they both compile through Emscripten is proof AAA engines can be built for the web.

We're not too far away from SIMD, Atomics and SharedArrayBuffer as well as OffscreenCanvas in the browser (they're all available behind experimental flags today). I can definitely see a newcomer building a web engine from the ground up and beating Unity/UE4 in performance AND productivity for not having their overhead. Its a huge undertaking but nothing impossible.

What I missed the most doing WebGL work however were asset pipelines. Open-source engines barely support DXT compression, normalized integers and whatnot. We ended up writing our own (very crude) CLI tool to compress DXT1/5, ETC1 and PVRTC as well as a KTX parser to load them at runtime. I'll see if I can make them open-source - they're still a bit tied to our custom in-house webgl renderer.
It shouldn't really matter whether the units tests are written before or after.
What matters is how testable the source code is, and making sure the units tests add value.

Of course, writing the tests before the actual source code of the feature enforces the fact that it's testable, but it's mainly a side effect, there's nothing inherently better.

The microdesign flaws that stem in TDD (described in [1]) were real in my personal case, and my code is way better on the long term with the units test written afterwards, because I tend to modify my design a lot while writing code.

Dynamic Git Branch Subdomains with Laravel Envoyer and Apache
This isn't gene editing, it's genome/organelle transfer. We have no science to explain the effects of organelle transfer. Also, none of these risks were "unexpected", except to people with very limited imaginations. Those of us who have followed advanced biomedicine for decades are rarely surprised when genomes behave "unexpectedly". They're not passive storage mechanisms made of just DNA that is accessed; they're complex, dynamic systems with a lot of behavior determined by the proteins that bind them.

Some days I feel like people should just go back and study Barbara Mcclintock until they "get it".
> Redis' approach to security makes it extremely difficult for developers to deploy secure services.

TLS proxy is not extremely difficult to deploy if you really need to talk to redis that way. But you shouldn't be using redis if you do.
You are free to file a form so as not to have your body stolen at death. Sounds great.
In this case I respectfully disagree. If it's opt-in, many, many fewer people opt-in. The data on this is a striking and huge difference between opt-in and opt-out countries. All countries should change to opt-out because it would save a lot of lives - and that's exactly the kind of trade off between personal freedom and the greater good that governments are in the best position to make. That's why we have seat-belt laws and helmet laws and government vaccination programs, etc.

The tragedy in this is actually how long countries are taking to wake up to the data and take action. In Canada (BC anyway) it's still opt-in.
That tends to be Java CRUD not trading logic.
You do not need your body after you are dead. This is good for society.

If anything the opt out should be further restricted. You may opt out, but you'd need a valid reason. Any held superstition should not be grounds.

I agree with you in principle but there is kind of a logical problem as I see it. What does constitute probable cause for tax evasion? Should a tax man drive around with your recorded income and taxes and then make a values judgment based on you house, clothing and car? Being able to account for the contents of an account doesn't seem entirely unreasonable, I don't know what good alternatives are, just trust people to pay tax? I've been through tax examinations and it's not fun but what's a legitimate alternative?
Sure. The problem is, these questions don't test that, they only test your ability to memorize the answers software engineering interview questions.

If they really cared about a "basic understanding of costs and complexity" they'd ask questions about the basics. These are highly specialized "gotcha" questions that do not correlate with actual job performance.
Traders will still be needed to justify bad decisions, or 'good' logic with bad outcomes run by AI. ;)

Everytime I see a gameshow where you can 'bank' your current winnings, ... I imagine the future of trading will include some strategy that has an AI yelling those sorts of things to other ai agents acting in concert. The strategies of the macro stock market positive outcomes, being applied to micro stock actions. https://www.t0.com is also going to be a fun reality.
That's what I thought. I like Jekyll fine for my personal blog, but I don't see how you could ever set up a non-technical client with it.
Check out "The Untold History of the United States" on Netflix (Oliver Stone). In it, Stone says that Kennedy was ready to pull out of Vietnam before he was killed, but Johnson never agreed with that decision. So when Johnson became president to replace Kennedy, he doubled down on the war. I don't know how much of this documentary is true, and it has obvious biases, but it makes a lot of interesting points. Starts from WWII and goes on from there, in many parts.

This seems like a perfectly sensible thing to do, honestly. If I were designing the system, I'd say that the default option is opt-out and that if you make an affirmative choice (yes or no) during your lifetime, that choice overrides your family's wishes, but otherwise your family gets a "veto" over your organ donation.

The whole problem that "opt-in" organ donation is that most people just do whatever the default is and no actual human decisionmaking takes place, so it's preferable to have sensible defaults. If a human is overriding the default, that's the desired behavior.
> avoid those thoughts

Avoiding anything is always the worst option. Get some professional help on how to deal with the thoughts.
The title of the article is misleading. France has had an opt-out sytem for organ donation for years. The only thing that has changed is that it is no longer required to consult relatives for a second opinion.

> Until 1 January, when the legislation took effect, unless the person who had died had previously expressed a clear wish for or against donation, doctors were required to consult relatives who, in almost a third of cases, refused.
Sadly, two years on now, EU VAT is still utterly crazy. It's like they don't even realise how much of a burden that system is for small businesses selling online. :-(

The businesses I have that have to deal with it all use some sort of custom integration, because we never found any service that could do what we needed and didn't involve some unacceptable level of risk (like our entire business becoming unable to operate if the service went under suddenly, for example).

Even with a lot of automation and a system designed for exactly what we do, complying with the EU VAT rules still takes an absurd proportion of the time we spend on administrative overheads.
Why do programmers think their jobs are immune from AI, hubris and history.
I just came across a note about Morocco, which entered daylight savings time in March 2016, but then left daylight-savings in June for 35 days, re-starting daylight-savings in July [1].

I've read that the explanation for this temporary suspension of daylight-savings is Ramadan [2], and Ramadan is dependent on the observed sighting of the new moon - so you can't necessarily predict the date in advance.

I ended up coming across that after looking for an explanation for something bizarre I experienced on a trip to Morocco in March 2016…with my iPhone set to use "Marrakesh, Morocco", the time on the phone displayed correctly, but the time on my sync'd Apple watch was an hour out. I think I ended up manually setting it to Paris time to get the correct time, but never did get an explanation for the difference.

So even across two devices from the same manufacturer, theoretically sharing the same date-time information, they can be inconsistent.

Conclusion: time is hard!

Mandated choice sounds like a very useful mechanism, but I would fear that for many people being confronted with this choice when you are renewing your driver's licence means defaulting for the 'safe' option of non-donor.

The tricky thing about organ donation is that the default choice tends to be 'postpone deciding'. For society at large this is harmful. Hypothetically, if you could ask someone's ghost after they've died on the hospital table, I bet most people would gladly donate their organs (perhaps with the occasional “Oh but can you please leave my face untouched?” thrown in) after accepting their untimely demise. But we can't. So with opt-in and a with a mandated binary choice at a set time you go for the safe option, which is 'non-donor' (“I'll change it after I've thought it through.”).
Is there some good reference on how might I do that?

It's not that I didn't like the source. It's that the evidence didn't hold up to the most basic scrutiny. Mull simply did not have the ability to give Clinton a Blackberry.

Aside: you are aware of what Judicial Watch is, right? They're the conservative group that led the prosecution against Clinton on this issue and repeatedly failed. Of course they are going to ask questions about FOIA, the Espionage Act, and anything else they can try to stick on her. You're being misled by listening to only the prosecution and not the judge or the defense that totally dismantled their case.

sorry :D it really depends on your requirements. If Hugo in its current state covers you or if you can live with a light toolchain around Hugo go Hugo (I think many people do not need to touch the go code). There is nobody saying that you cannot write a little python code which is run before/after hugo (actually some people are doing that!). But if you want total control/extensibility with your python code in the page generator the Lektor plugin system will give you more power.
Some vocabulary might be helpful here, generally there a few buckets most traders can be put into:

1. Proprietary trading (think hedge funds or the old bank prop desks, ranges from the bass brothers to renaissance tech in terms of style)

2. Execution or sales traders (often work for or are the counterparts to #1, their goal is get the best price for their clients in the quantities and time frames desired)

3. Market making (essentially providing liquidity to both buyers and sellers)

4. Sales - essentially layered on top of 2 & 3 to interact with 1

With that said, #3 has pretty much been automated in some markets and is the easiest to automate, #2 has had a lot of automation for vanilla stuff, but people are still involved in big, complicated things. #1 may be automated but is largely strategy dependent, #4 is pretty hard to automate...

As far as I know, it is not illegal to share copyrighted content with your "friends" if you are not getting profit out of it, at least in some countries in Europe. I don't know the regulation in USA, but this is probably not allowed there.

Yes. That, and a whole bunch of other caveats about market competition:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_competition

There's a storybook understanding of economics that pervades pop-culture and is dangerously okay-ish as a first approximation. Faith in the potential for free markets to exist can be a powerful force. Unfortunately, the conditions required to have a truly free market are pretty rare--and I'm most definitely not advocating for reflexive deregulation here.

When perfect market conditions don't exist, you can think of things like information asymmetries and transaction costs as economic friction. Sometimes that results in market lag. Sometimes, especially in big markets, that friction can lock big tectonic plates building pressure until something fails catastrophically.
