Most of Europe would beg to disagree.

The great advantage of coalition government is that it the partners act as a moderating influence on one another.

Also, you tend not to get 'grand coalitions'. Instead, you get a senior member with enough junior members to create a stable voting bloc. Grand coalitions only happen at times of perceived existential threat or national crisis. The closest thing to to a counterexample I can think of is Austria, but even then, those were to put a cordon sanitaire around far right and far left parties. The very fact that grand coalitions are seen as antidemocratic tends to keep their formation to a minimum.

In reality, countries that have lots of coalitions by virtue of their voting system (such as STV[1]) tend to have perfectly stable governments. It's only in countries whose voting systems tend to give a single party power that have issues with coalitions, because they have no idea how to handle situations like that. Witness the panic in the UK after the 2010 elections - here in Ireland, we were quite entertained by the panic as coalition governments are the norm here.

[1] Ireland, where I'm from, for instance, hasn't had a non-coalition government since the '50s. In that time, we went from being one of the poorest countries in Europe of one of the wealthiest in the world, so obviously our government was able to take some kind of meaningful action in all that time.

Well, I'm curious to see what you're thinking is better.

History has shown us the two sides of this coin... broadcasted dogmatic thinking (audience > 100), and empowering critical thinking at a smaller scale (audience ~ 10). The former tends to infect societies that have failed at the latter. We've yet to see anyone achieve broadcasted critical thinking.
Yes, it seems to be a much larger problem on the 13" Touch Bar model especially. See the links in the blog post to the iFixit reviews—the battery in the Touch Bar model (which is driving more things and a higher TDP CPU) is actually _smaller_ than the one in the Function Keys model.
I'd say that's a good example. It doesn't use macros, however I do like this stackoverflow discussion [0] on if Literal Haskell even needs macros, because it's already a flexible language. Definitely a new perspective.

I find it hard to imagine. Personality issues aside, Carmack is one of the greatest programmers of our time, and arguably the greatest video game programmer ever. Why would he need to copy anything? All of his value is in his head.

If you'd said he violated an employee contract by working for Oculus on his off-hours because he couldn't help himself, I'd believe it. But stealing documents? No.

I should add that no one is suggesting professional photographers with throughput requirements should switch to film. Digital makes life a lot easier in many ways for under-pressure professionals. The only people who will shoot film these days are art photographers looking for either film textures or the way film alters their creative process, and amateur enthusiasts who enjoy shooting film mostly for process reasons. That's no different than a lot of other hobbies. (Why would you drive a vintage sports car, anyway? They're expensive, break down, and can't haul groceries for crap. By quantifiable objective data, they're terrible cars.)

I'm not a professional photographer, but a fairly serious amateur - I broke 10k photos/year at peak, and have been published and done minor gallery shows. I'll shoot a few rolls of film a year, entirely for fun. I enjoy the process, and use it to impose restrictions on myself. (The last time I shot film, I was with a friend who was modeling for me. I told her we had 36 photos available, and that was that. It really made us think, rather than just blowing through 10x that many because we could.) If I need to shoot volume, or use studio lighting, or work in any sort of difficult lighting conditions, I'll use digital, absolutely.

It's quite possible to shoot both digital and film, for different reasons, and not just be a pretentious hipster who doesn't care about "quantifiable objective data".
Copying form an old comment of mine:

- Yielding to an emergency vehicle with sirens on.

- Moving backwards to a safe and large enough spot when the route is too narrow to fit self-driving car and oncoming huge lorry (and there is no line marking the limit between road and ravine).

- Upon instructions from authority, recognize that the highway is closed due to an accident and, no matter what the driving code says, you actually have to make a U-turn on the highway and follow the crowd. Alternatively, just take that route (yes, the one with the large no-entry sign at the beginning) or that narrow path in the wood (yes, it exists, even if Google Maps isn't aware of it). At the bare minimum, park yourself off the road and let the others move on.

- Verify whether a queue is forming behind you. Listen to the honkers, they may be right. When you are an obstacle to the most part of traffic, moving to the side and letting others pass from time to time is sincerely appreciated.
If you are considering GC issues in an app, I think the reference code you should look at now is Roslyn and how it uses pooled ImmutableArrays to work with immutable collections almost without allocation overhead in most areas.

Most GC churn in most applications (I would think) is down to Linq and collection use.

This was my thought originally, but then I read the article. I no longer believe this is what happened.

Official Best Buy policy is exactly as you state -- we don't perform an invasive search for illegal content, but if we find it in the course of normal operations, we will report it.

Official Best Buy policy is that individual employees will not accept payments from the FBI.

But, one supervisor did accept payments from the FBI. That same supervisor remained in contact with the FBI for years. And that same supervisor lied under oath about receiving those payments. He was in regular contact with the FBI, accepted regular payments from the FBI, and -- what's more -- felt the need to lie about that relationship. I think it's extremely likely that he was having those he supervised perform searches that would not otherwise have been performed has he not received payment from the FBI.

That's probably the factual question that this case will boil down to -- would this material have been uncovered if a different supervisor, following all of Best Buy's policies, had been in charge that day?
There are kinds of driving that are fun and already not allowed on the road. For example, racing, or rallying, or just going very very fast. There are private tracks where you can pay to go and do that. Or sometimes they close the public roads and put up crash barriers for a big race. But they don't let you mix up your desire to go 200 MPH with regular commuter traffic.
In other words, solve a minimax problem over human behaviour. Good luck with that - we do not even have strong scientific notion of how people make decisions in various conditions on micro level.

AnCap likewise does not work, because we do not know when people would renege on their contracts (essentially steal, injecting accumulation of wealth due to lack of information about what was stolen). Not to mention it does not start from zero and accumulation of wealth is obviously easier when you already have it and becomes easier.

Result is a state = a monopoly, oligopoly or a cartel.

Such a result is only avoidable if somehow economics is not a zero sum game and individual progress/gain is quick enough to outweigh all such initial tendencies, which would only happen in the singularity.

An alternative would be an utopian uncorruptible oracular jury with unlimited power = God.

This is awesome - this reminds me of Google's clang-format which they use to format Angular automatically, but sounds like it's less sucky. The idea behind it is that developers tend to be opinionated about code style, so having a tool do it for you eliminates those arguments, which can be a hold up for PRs getting merged into a codebase.

It's not the same to dumping some package manager on top of an OS (like apt on bash) to having it be part of the core OS.

When a package manager is part of the core OS, it handles ALL installed apps, and can update, or remove anything.

apt on bash won't update my firefox, or let me uninstall apps. Stuff will make it in sideways, and won't be tracked by any package manager.

> Windows has one of the best window managers around and you can make it do pretty much anything you want.

Like I said, there's a strong matter of preference, but what can objectively be said is that ONE window manager isn't enough for everybody, and everybody want something different. That's why you have different WMs on Linux.

Also, Windows' WM (whatever it's called) can't do any of the stuff i3wm does, so you're just exagerating.

> Obviously millions of users and devs use the Windows filesystem to great success.

Users don't count, because they barely interact with it. And when they do, they have to follow guides, because they can't understand it. Go ahead. Ask any windows user where specific stuff is stored.

> Imagine a filesystem where you don't spread one single application's files around to 10 different locations which differ based on the target distro...that's Windows.

Why is that a good thing? If you want to know how owns a file, we have package managers to track that.

If this was written by someone who "isn't a physicist", this is an excellent summary of statistical physics.
That's actually a great idea! Kind of what Wolfram|Alpha does when it gives you various comparisons to the number you've entered. E.g. for "10 kilotons":

≈ (0.2 to 0.3) × mass of a Handy size cargo ship ( 28000 to 40000 lg tn )
≈ (0.3 to 0.5) × mass of a Small Handy size cargo ship ( 20000 to 28000 lg tn )
≈ 0.83 × daily mass of trash produced in New York City (≈ 1.2×10^7 kg )

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=10+kiloton

EDIT:

For the ice slab in question, W|A gives following comparisons:

≈ ( 0.25 ≈ 1/4 ) × total area of Wales (≈ 8023 mi^2 )
≈ 1.7 × total area of Rhode Island ( 1212 mi^2 )
≈ 3 × area of forest flattened by the asteroid explosion over Tunguska in 1908 (≈ 2000 km^2 )

'Chain of custody' only starts on seizure. There are no 'chain of custody' issues either when a drug lab is dismantled - sure, some guy in a ski mask might have broken into that garage the night before and put all that stuff there, doesn't make it a chain of custody issue. More similar to the OP, when an electrician finds a mj plantation when doing routine network maintenance (replace a meter, maybe), there is no chain of custody problem either.

In general, it is the best laptop Apple has made yet (sans Touch Bar)—that's why I'm still willing to pay the money for a Function Key model.

But I'm annoyed Apple is forcing users to get the Touch Bar model if they want Touch ID, four TB3 ports, slightly faster RAM, and slightly faster WiFi.
Target and Whole Foods both give you a credit for each bag you bring. I didn't realize Target did this until googling; it's 5 cents at Target and 10 at Whole Foods.

Incidentally, neither store gives you the discount for not using a bag at all -- just if you substitute a reusable bag for the disposable one they otherwise give you.
Unfortunately it looks like they don't really care about hangouts. It's pretty much the same thing from when it launched, except slower.
Does the article add anything, or at least provide a compact summary?

Does anyone know where the video can be downloaded?
Agree. Touchbar is like a re-incarnation of what function keys were originally, when the only people who used computers were programmers who would be writing their own functions for those keys. Of course they fell to disuse. Now they are having new life breathed in to them.

Great insight. I never thought of it this way. Perhaps this is the best justification for art education. It is not about producing beautiful objects. Perhaps it is about our mental health. More like meditation. It is the process that gives us value, regardless of whether other people are willing to pay for the art that we make.

The optimizations improved GC performance in general reducing latency, but, the advice in the article is still good.

That's changing these days, as vinyl mastering becomes a forethought and not an afterthought, and cds are going the way of the dodo, in favor of compressed digital formats like mp3. Vinyl is selling well and is profitable. And it's not selling because people are pretentious hipsters who don't understand quality. It's selling because vinyl creates a better listening experience. People are getting back to listening to music other than as something to decorate their jogging.

Thank you! I did the exact same thing on one of my Samsung monitors with the tape. Except if I missed the power button, I'd hit the auto-adjust button by accident, which would cost me another 15-30 minutes. It's irritating.

And cars... turning the heat/ac up or down is a nightmare on touchscreens. Compared with a real, tactile knob with a clear start and finish, I don't ever have to look at them to adjust the climate.

Touchscreens are a cost-saving and "more functionality than there is room for"-enabling device, easy to customize and upgrade. But give me buttons any day.

Ever wonder why there is a physical "silent button" on an iPhone? Because if your phone is ringing in a library, you don't want to dig through menus to turn it off. It's the quickest, no-look solution you can do without even taking your phone out of the pocket.
Man celebrating vote to repeal Obamacare learns he is on Obamacare
> The Electrician was functioning as an Electrician, not as a government agent.

I don't think your example vindicates Best Buy, but rather, simply repeats the central question of the case: was the Geek Squad employee simply functioning as a Geek Squad employee?

The prosecution has argued that an employee who happens to stumble on images of child pornography (analogous to your electrician stumbling on a drug lab) is not acting as an agent of the government. I'm inclined to agree with that judgement.

On the other hand, if the employee was conducting extra thorough searches, scrutinizing the files on any customer storage media, or otherwise performing surveillance tasks that had nothing to do with his job, then it seems apparent that the employee was acting as an agent of the law in accordance with a financial incentive from the FBI. It doesn't help, in this case, that the employee lied about having been compensated by the FBI.

Ultimately, this particular case will come down to the details of how and why the employee stumbled across these images. As a general principle, however, it seems wrong to me that any computer in for miscellaneous repairs (touchpad/screen replacement, battery refurbish, etc) should be subject to a search for illegal data pursuant to an FBI incentives program.

See my above reply for details to sibling comment, but basically, dumping a package manager on a running OS isn't the same as having a package manager to properly track installed apps.

This apt-get will only track stuff installed via it, while there's dozens of other stuff that just made it in sideways.

Also, ¿Can I run X, i3wm, etc? ¿Can I get rid of the entire Windows DE?

My point is, I don't use bash, because I want all the above. I've no complaint if you prefer windows, that's your choice. But don't tell Linux users that windows is now the same just because you have bash.
New mobile app has a meme launch
I'm fairly interested to see what people develop for it; I think more discrete notifications (to minimise distraction, not for privacy) could be a pretty interesting use case.

But they took away the Esc key...

IMO the touch bar should have purely replaced Fn keys - running between Esc and a power/touchID combi-button. Cheaper model could then fairly seamlessly have stuck with Fn keys still, and all would have a proper Esc key and power/touchID.

Start with a daily journal. Write down the stuff you did and the thoughts you had. Write down the things you want to get done tomorrow in the same journal and cross them off if you accomplish them.

This way every day of your life will have significance. Even if the day was dreary, mundane, sad, or even horrible, recording the memory records the significance because you lived it.

Journaling didn't cure me of depression, but it helped me build a ladder out of my pit of despair.

One I thought of when I encountered it the other day...

Driving through a red light when it's obvious something's gone wrong with the traffic signal, and it's stuck on red. Harder than it seems at first, because other drivers at the intersection seem to make up the rules interactively, with you, via facial expressions and hand waving.

There's also a fair amount of variables, like looking sideways to see if the cross traffic is also stuck on red or not.
