That makes it a bit harder to go read, don't you think?

It also lacks a fundamental feature the US Constitution has in being umambiguously final. No other law can supersede it. Interpreting an entire corpus of law as a 'constitution' is grossly inaequate.
We should put safety related ticket revenue 100 percent into an insurance policy for those hurt by the offense. We should set ticket prices based on the needed premium to insure the victims. That would remove the incentive to increase tickets, while preserving the purpose!

For example, if you get hurt by a red light runner, you should get paid by all the accident free red light tickets.

Last I looked, Apparmor still applied rules based on file names, not on types assigned to the underlying objects. That's a big limit on writing correct policies: every hardlink is like a firewall-spanning device.
I only experience cold fingers when the room temperature is below ~68°F. In a warm room I don't have such problems. I am young and get plenty of exercise, though.
To my point, this is still the same argument that has been made time and time again with regards to storage. Short term upticks are easy to see in historical SSD pricing, even when looking at the longterm trend.

It is absolutely more difficult. It is very easy to wax poetic about the types of jobs one will and will not do when one has job security in the form of many readily available, high-paying jobs. Most are not that lucky and in fact would be grateful to work more hours because it might put them over the threshold to full time and benefits for example.

Others like lawyers, are on a similar situation treadmill tied to hours worked. It is often up or out at big firms, and going up always entails working lots of billable hours. Work fewer hours, make less money and no great future.

Ultimately, the path to success increasingly seems to be freeing yourself from a single entity that controls your pay (i.e. Employer, single client or customer, etc.). From there it is down to finding ways to scale your output beyond your hourly constraint (you only have so many hours in a day you can work, even for high pay) and ways to diversify income to reduce risk.
In England, probably yes the majority of people who beg are not homeless.

Of course, we need to define what we mean by homeless. And I'd like to try to avoid some of the unpleasant and stigmatising messages sometimes made by English councils who are trying to stop people giving money to beggars.
It's one syllable. The OP in this case is actually being misguided by zhuyin, and would be better served by pinyin. With his poor understanding of the rules of how sounds in Chinese combine in real speech, it looks to him like two syllables, but it's not, because sounds combine in practice.

Or... maybe he's thinking of Chinese opera. Yeah sure when listening to Chinese opera, all kinds of sounds get lengthened into many syllables ;-).

But really I can imagine how this happened. Couple of IPA wonks sit down with a Chinese native speaker, maybe a linguist, and they say, wtf, explain to us what is the difference between 'jun' and 'zhun'? The Chinese person does a hyper-exaggerated slow demonstration of the sounds, and they write that down as the official IPA transliteration that the OP is fixated on, further cementing a misunderstanding of real usage that was implied by the zhuyin transliteration.

As to Xi'an, pinyin has a rule for that kind of case, which is to add an apostrophe in between the parts to resolve the ambiguity.
The alternative I am proposing is that he was approached by a covert operative (a "spy") who nudged or convinced him on what he eventually did.

I.e. recruited Snowden as a spy. I'm not sure what we're hairsplitting over.

You do have the burden of, if not proof, then some kind of plausible theory supported by something other than complete speculation. None of the stuff Snowden did (you can safely ignore everything he's said) really fits with 'Russian agent'. Why leave at all? Why go to Hong Kong? Why deal with journalists? Why even actually carry the data around? None of this really makes much sense.

There are plenty of reasonable 'Snowden, the not-saint' theories you can put forward that can at least be used to explain some of his actions. For instance, maybe Snowden took all the extra data in the hopes of passing it to a foreign intelligence service/government in exchange for his safety. That's distinctly non-saintly and at odds with what he's said. But it's self-consistent.

A Russian agent has infiltrated the NSA but then somehow his handlers can neither keep him in place nor safely extract him OR his (their!) data. He then takes off galavanting across the world, talking to journalists and in possession of a giant pile of classified material. Eventually and seemingly accidentally, he get stuck in Moscow. Is this possible? Maybe. But it sure is convoluted and implausible. It's just speculation that doesn't really fit anything and seems mostly to serve as a roundabout way of saying 'I really don't like Snowden'. I think it's easier to just say you really don't like Snowden.
I very much enjoyed this article. The larger takeaways for me are that most citizens (or people) don't know the law, don't know the basis of law, and don't know the foundations of creating and defining law. Yet we're forced into submitting ourselves to what someone else wrote with deficiencies or moderately malicious intent where fundamental rights and freedoms granted in the constitution are violated.

Governments the world over are becoming bigger and more powerful, while common people are subjugated and controlled through diktats. I don't know what's the best way to improve the situation (other than some activists and campaigners doing the work for the society), but a somewhat in-depth course in law seems like a fundamental requirement for everyone.
One could probably connect that to our Flowhub IDE (https://flowhub.io), either by wrapping it with NoFlo, or implementing the protocol:

I read their methodology[1] to determine when they measured the speeds, but it wasn't very clear when they did. However, I think a reasonable interpretation of their wording is that they measured just before and just after the change.

In my opinion there is a problem with this approach, in that many motorists will likely pay little attention to signs when going their usual routes, as they already know them all. If a speed limit is changed it may therefore take some time for people to notice that that has happened. To measure the full impact of the change, it seems the measurement would have to be taken a few months after the change.

It's because of survival bias. The people who are successful believe it's because of their hard work and don't attribute some parts of it to luck. So if someone complains because of missing luck they haul out know-it-all advice on how hard work must always lead to success.
Requiring a external storage medium would kill the service. I think you have to separate a service made for the masses and a service with focus on security/encryption. For WhatsApp there will be some instances where you have to choose between security and convince, and they have choose the former, which is only naturally.

What's wrong with the tooling?

My current CLJS setup is boot with boot-cljs, boot-reload and boot-cljs-repl. They're configured using normal Clojure code in a build.boot file and the entry points are configured in live-reloadable *.edn files.

That setup is simpler and far more powerful than anything else I've seen in other languages.

I was using leiningen previously but boot proved to be more powerful for less work in my case.

Your entire hypothesis rests on the fact that you believe that no law should be allowed that prevents an event from occurring. Thus a Boeing jet where faked screws are used should never lead to a prosecution if those fake screws hold fast. Thus if two independent operators sell and use these fake screws, only the ones who cause a crash should be prosecuted, even though the other group independently put the entire plane full of people at risk.

I hope that's a more "reasonable" example.

I switched to the 2nd gen m5 Macbook from the '13 rMBP 13", and would argue the m5 is surprisingly more than capable.

Granted it's not as fast on paper or benchmarks, but it's so capable I am having a hard time trying to justify my next purchase (not enough screen real estate in rarer circumstances: Chrome DevTools alongside the browser window is impossible, OmniGraffle and other apps can feel cramped at times).

The machine did feel a little slower than the i5 when I first started using it but nothing obnoxious.

Context: As a devops guy I regularly build large RPMs, run grunt against a huge codebase, compile packages from source, and all the while with Docker running OpenShift and a bunch of LEMP apps in the background.
(pro tip: a b'foo' object in Python2.7 or Python3 isn't "a bytes", it's "a bytestring".)

Quotes from the Python 3 documentation:

Bytes literals are always prefixed with 'b' or 'B'; they produce an instance of the bytes type instead of the str type.

class bytes([source[, encoding[, errors]]])

Return a new “bytes” object, which is an immutable sequence of integers in the range 0 <= x < 256. bytes is an immutable version of bytearray – it has the same non-mutating methods and the same indexing and slicing behavior.

Tucson, AZ: We had red-light cam's and speed cam's, they both went down in flames (2-to-1 against) when it was put to a vote. I deliberately was getting "tickets" to force them to try and serve me. Got up to 14 or 15... friends joke I should make a coffee table book.

Trivialized? How about trivializing the tracking of movement? How about trivializing the horrible path to computers making legal decisions? Would you would support mandatory car velocity vector tracking and reporting? This "it's for the children" stuff is getting old.
While I disagree with your latter points, I understand that it is a valid opinion. However, I'm curious why you think it is meaningful or lawful for there to be a legal process against a vehicle? The car can't pay a fine, what does it mean for there to be legal action against property?

> The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly.
- Abraham Lincoln

While I can't say that I'm a fan of traffic cams, and I do appreciate that the author was vindicated in this circumstance, I like the idea of laws that are enforced for every single violation. Traffic law, and indeed most of our laws, seem to be enforced so inconsistently as to be laughable.

I'm sure there are instances where, financially speaking, you're better off to break the law and then just pay the fines if you get caught. Similar to when corporations break a law for years and eventually pay a fine that's less than the profit they made from breaking the law.

I think if the enforcement were more consistent, we'd end up with much better laws in the long run.

It's disingenuous to blame Manning for leaking information she should have never had access to. This goes all the way to the top. Bush authorized the release of all of that in order to 'help catch bad guys' without thinking there is a reason this stuff was classified, why classified information exists, and why not every peon in the military should have access to it.
Yes, I was.

I don't understand why "give people with chronic pain rapid access to specialist pain management clinics, rather than just dumping them on ever increasing opioids" is a controversial statement.

I've suffered called hands, fingers and wrists which in turn has made them sore, right up my forearms. I tried gloves and stuff - part of it might be that my home office is in the basement and I live in a climate that sees -30C.

Anyways, my fix is to get the heart rate up. I jump on the treadmill at an incline and do some push-ups. 10 minutes is all I need. And no, I'm not a fitness freak.
Funny, the 8TB drives I was looking at for a new NAS in a few months are around $300... I'm still debating between a 4 or 5-drive nas... but lets say, including the cost of the nas device I'm paying around $2k for 24TB of reduntant storage solution. 24TB of ssd storage alone will cost me over $6k, let alone the cost of a more expensive base NAS box, meaning 7-8K. That's upwards of 4X the cost.

That's the difference between something I can cover from my tax return, to something I won't really even consider. I won't save $6k in power in a year, or 5 to make up the difference, and I don't need the extra speed, to feed media to my htpc.

If you believe that ability is uniformly distributed, and you're getting a 10:1 ratio of men to women, 9/10 of the men who apply are unqualified. Men are known to apply to jobs they're not qualified for way more than women do.

I have also been doing a lot of interviewing recently and that number seems about right.

Years ago when red light cameras were new I remember hearing a comedian say "The city sent me a photo of my car running a red light and a ticket for $100. So, I took a photo of $100 and sent that back to them with the ticket".

That's completely silly but it sounds like it was just as effective as your efforts so far. Hope you get it sorted some day.
Compare "xi an" with "xian". One is 2 words and one is 1 word. But for some reason Chinese people don't like to put spaces in between words so "xi an shi" is often written as "xi'anshi" which is different from "xianshi".

Never mind security, what about latency and reliability?

I think there's actually quite a lot of market for this based on the number of people doing it adhoc with ESP2866/Raspberry Pi devices. But that would depend on price.

FYI, the author is a morally repugnant conservative. He believes that a lesbian couple should not both be legally recognized as the parents of a child;[0] that Texas courts should defy the Supreme Court and further restrict access to women's healthcare;[1] and that colleges should be free to discriminate against LGBT students and employees; [2] among many other positions.

He signed a statement calling on the local, state, and federal government to refuse to follow Obergefell [3] (the case legalizing same sex marriage nationally).

The website this was published on is an outlet of the Witherspoon Institute.[4]

The author is fanatically opposed to what he calls 'the regulatory state'. He is a far-right extremist and religious fundamentalist.

SELinux is one of our main protection against user abuse. Our project (webminal.org) provides free terminal access anyone. Thus we need protection.

Since when is a security issue which is known to and patched by the vendor a "0-day"? Have there been any reported exploitations of this vulnerability in the wild before it was publicly disclosed with a patch made immediately available?
They release plenty of documentation, which is more than can be said for Broadcom who seem to be doing all they can to both stay proprietary and legal. Broadcom supplies binary blobs, some source code (which is definitely not for those blobs given how anal they are about IP/licensing), and almost no documentation; AllWinner supplies binary blobs (which are based on existing open-source, thus easier to reverse-engineer), some source code, and far more documentation. Regardless of the legal situation, the contrast is clear.

Not for initials (consonants):

I find Wade-Giles ch'in more evocative than the Pinyin qin, and similarly hsüan vs xuan, and even tzŭ vs zi and tzʻŭ vs ci. Wade-Giles you basically have to learn not to ignore the apostrophe, Pinyin you have to learn most of the initials. Though the Wade-Giles jih vs Pinyin ri is a bit of a toss-up.

For finals, I find Wade-Giles yü more consistent than Pinyin yu, but Wade-Giles to less descriptive than Pinyin duo. But then, it's shorter.

So, yeah, "arguably" :-)
Wonder what they'll do with `_`?

At last year's JLS the keynote mentioned that reserving underscore did not mean that Java is becoming Scala. And yet, what else are they going to with it other than to slowly integrate Scala idioms into the language?

If alternative JVM languages gain enough traction perhaps archaic boilerplate like having to define Java getters/setters, equals, hashCode and toString on data classes will replaced sooner than later with terse "modern" equivalents found in C#, Scala, etc.

The thing is he is attacking Rust not based on the safety the language provides, but more on a feeling that the package, crates, network doesn't fit his belief of how things should be curated. He states that he thinks this is why BDFL is good model, but gives no strong evidence supporting that view.

Rust has curation in its crate system. It's all in really good crowd sourcing numbers. Crates.io, number of downloads, with trends (i.e. Even if it was popular, is it still?). Then GitHub has great ones: stargazers == community interest level; watchers == # of people interested in tracking the project, possibly b/c it's a critical dependency; forks == # of people who've reviewed the code; contributors == overall success in the community; commit graphs = how much work has and is going into the project; issues can help you understand if there are any critical underlying problems with the maintenance.

When I'm evaluating a library I look at all of these numbers to understand how comfortable I am in pulling a dependency on the library. IMO this is far better than the curation of some system level tools, which just become defaults, and don't always offer users the ability to evaluate different options easily, cron stands out in my mind as one that there are better options than the default.

Anyway, his loss... the Rust community is awesome, in my humble opinion.
Reply to your second part:

That's a shock to me. Billions of Chinese people and millions of people learning Chinese are doing just fine. If anything, pinyin makes the first few lessons easier.

Of course I am not suggesting that pinyin can be used to replace characters, but it is good for learning pronunciations and useful in typing.

Japanese is different in the sense that each character already carries its own pronunciation, so the use of romaji is discouraged. But for Chinese, the character rarely reveal its pronunciation so you need a good way of describing them.

As for Pleco, ironically I see pinyin being featured more prominently, as the only pronunciation in the list view: https://www.pleco.com/
