No, it is not necessary to work.

Yes it is necessary as it is a certification, it will make easier move across borders, will make you pay less taxes and will make you easier to hire.

You can really get all the notion without a formal education, provided that you are curious enough.
Thanks for the suggestions. I was thinking of options for less technical users e.g. here is a zip file and install script. Upload these to a folder on your web server and then open this URL in your browser (e.g. /install.html or /install.php) to start the installation. Even this would probably be too complicated for some users.

Are such types of installs simply unrealistic for many languages? Or, rather is it unrealistic to expect non-technical users to install web apps even if step-by-step instructions are provided?
I'd put Halloway's Programming Clojure at the top of any list of Clojure books. It was among the very first and is clear and simple. It's comes closer to being 'The K&R of Clojure' than anything else.

I'm just not sure what a taxi protest achieves. In practice the protesters and distressed relatives probably need to get to the airport and back in the emergency circumstances. Boycotting political buildings would be more understandable.

Education and empowerment would be great, but why should cops be doing it? If DARE has taught us anything, it's that cops are really bad at education. Also it's a fairly privileged point of view that assumes any particular child would want to talk to police about anything. This seems more like a job for teachers and child advocates.

That is, if they can get past the PC "parents first and foremost" BS. First and foremost is stepparents and mom's boyfriends. Actual parents are a distant second, and even then is often a case of "divorced dad lost all custody rights so resorted to kidnapping in order to see children". Concentrating on the wrong thing is just as bad for advocates as it is for police.

You mention children fearing the foster system. I don't think awful foster stories are being traded at kindergarten recess, but it's true that foster care should only be contemplated in the most extreme circumstances. If child advocates are advocating for just turning up the knob on enforcement, and destroying families for such flimsy causes as corporal punishment or parental marijuana enjoyment, they're abandoning that requirement of extremity. In that case, I wonder for whom they're actually advocating, because it sure as hell ain't the children.
whoa, my compliments how you managed to explain in a single paragraph both the bizarre x86 registers and fixed point math, succinctly :)
Nothing. Unless you think rust will become the next c++, and the world will move to it en masse, in which case people still won't rewrite most of the old libraries to it.

At best people can hope that somebody comes up with a neat import system of c++ namespaces, a rock solid debugger and a fluid ide.

Rust will be like Go. Both pushed by corporations, and probably follow the fate of cobol, if history is to be asked.
I'm sure you're right. Still relevant if so!
With two important differences:

(0) RefCell can't be used in a multithreaded context. You have to use an actual Mutex.

(1) ConcurrentModificationException isn't reliable. It's thrown on a best-effort basis.

In any case, in a high-level language, just memory-safety is a very cheap guarantee. You also want to protect the internal invariants of your data structures - especially the concurrent ones!

With heroin you should still legalize possession, just not sale. Instead do what they do in Switzerland and the Netherlands: Have safe injection sites where the government gives you free heroin. Those who are diagnosed with addiction can come once a day and get a dose of heroin under medical supervision. The clinics often help find jobs for the unemployed as well, further helping them with their addiction. Typically once someone gets their life back together they'll be able to quit.
- Oracle was the only SQL DB able to shard. (might still be)

- Oracle was the only database able to take multi GB or TB of data in a single table/DB. (Old MySQL/Postgre had various limitations like X GB per table for a long time, they still do).

If you worked in the DB in the 200X years, Oracle was the standard and for good reasons. MySQL/Postgre were considered like toys, for good reasons.

If you want Trump to "be an example for other countries", how should the woman ever get to Costa Rica, considering Costa Rica <-> Iran is probably not popular enough to warrant a direct flight?

Considering there has been no single incident with any terrorists from the nations in the last 30 years (yeah, I just spoiled the answer for the first question, sorry), would I be expecting too much when asking why nobody thought to pick up the phone and ask immigrations "If I were to ban people from country X, is there anything I should keep in mind". After all, it took DHS less than 6 hours to identify ambiguities with regards to green cards and visas.

It will be interesting what an insurance company thinks is needed.

If having an antivirus can create possibly more security holes than it closes - then from an insurance perspective they would not want you to have it.

i.e. if they have to pay based upon an attack - they want to ensure the lowest risk.
I could argue about priorities, but I'm more interested in a larger question.

What's your end game here? If you want us to go back in time and protest drone strikes more strongly, my understanding is that this is not practical. If you want us to stop caring about Trump's insane actions, I can't understand why. If you want us to care more about more stuff in the future, that makes sense, but it's not the meaning I get from what you write. What are you after?
As a former lobbyist in DC, I support this. The revolving door makes perfect sense in a closed loop of Washington, but in my experience it has led to corruption and carrying the status quo. As far as lobbying for foreign governments, while not having worked on that directly, I do know foreign governments pay a tremendous amounts of money to hire former members of congress. If you're curious look up the lobbying disclosure database. [1]

Umm .. there's no such thing as dopamine cells. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter and neurons which activate on dopamine are called dopamine receptors. You can argue that neurons are a type of cell, but thats how far you can stretch it.

Virtue signalling is a term to describe people that are doing harm to a cause or providing no benefit to it, while also aiming to maximize the admiration they receive from others.

That is at least how it's meant to be used.
tptacek isn't wrong to point out that the Right generally uses it to denigrate people that are trying to do good just because there is a little 'show' with their 'action'. This is evil because people shouldn't be dissuaded from doing good things. In fact they should be celebrated. The Right have pretty much completely missed the point of talking about signalling, which is credible/costly vs. cheap.
>Try this: for one week, don't have any food that requires any packaging. Don't just think about it. Do it. Then look back at how much packaging you needlessly go through.

Coincidentally, I did try this a few years ago when I was testing how easily I could go "zero waste". I found I could buy very few foods without packaging.

I could buy produce with minimal packaging - just rubber bands, twist ties, and stickers - but produce is increasingly sold in plastic bubbles and bags, so the selection was limited. There was some room for choice here: many types of produce, like carrots, were available both loose and in plastic bags. I could buy the loose ones. Also, most people use the plastic produce bags, but I could just bring my produce up to the checkout counter without them . I have done that since.

I thought I could buy meat and fish at the counter, and bring my own containers instead of using the plastic and paper wrapping they use, but I was informed that it would be against health codes for them to use anything I provided. Also, some stores do not have a meat counter- they sell all meat shrink-wrapped on plastic trays.

At the very least, I thought I could use my own containers in the self-serve bulk dry goods section of some local stores, where you can get beans, oatmeal, rice, cereal, dried fruit, etc. Nope - also against the health codes. You can only use the flimsy plastic containers they provide. It occurred to me that I could bring back one of their containers, and they would never know it was used. However, the containers are not at all durable, so they would break during washing, and it was difficult to clean the channel of the lids. I heard that at one far-away health food store they allow you to use your own containers despite the health codes, but I have yet to go there. Worryingly, these sections of the store seem much less popular, and people tend to buy the pre-packaged versions because it's easier to just grab something off of the shelf. I would not be surprised if these sections are phased out in the near future.

Basically, the way we sell food here makes it hard to avoid packaging. Although I live in an area with many people who (claim to) care about the environment, it seems like there is no way to stem the tide of our general preference for lots of packaging around food. In other areas people seem better about this. When I was in California I went to Berkeley Bowl, and, true to stereotype, I saw lots of packaging-free food, people bringing their own containers, and more locally-sourced food.
> Those things help but it's still possible to return a pointer to an inner part of an allocation(say an element in a vector) and then have the vector go out of scope.

That's something that the programmer needs to specifically ask for, and I'm not aware of any C++ compiler which doesn't throw a bunch of warnings regarding an object's scope and lifetime.

That means your point boils down to arguing that if a programmer really wants to, he can still shoot himself in the proverbial foot by writing C++ code, but in order for that to happen he needs to have a death wish and intentionally avoid all warnings and safe practices to begin with.

You teach the compiler to treat it as an error. The point being that this isn't practically available in C++ and is mandatory in Rust.

I personally support the executive order in its motif.

Radicalization of US-born or US-admitted Muslims by clerics, relatives, social media -- is real, eg [1] (Fort-hood terrorist), San-Bernardino terrorists [2].

Therefore, the argument could not just be about questioning if any visa/green card holder for the initial list of 7 'banned-county -->to--> Muslim terrorist perpetrating killing on US soil'.

It is a preventive measure, with a time limit .
Very appropriate for this period of time, given the war with ISIS.

I am not, however, impressed with the execution or the preparation that went into this particular order.
I would like to see a different level of scrutiny and reduced personal inconvenience afforded to US green card holders.

Appreciate that majority on this forum, including highly respected scientists, will disagree with me.
But please allow the expression of, at-least partially informed dissent.

That reason is because it's free software, even the FSF thinks it's fine to use ZFS on your system. The issue is whether it's fine for the ZFS module to be distributed with the Linux kernel.

And automatically updating ports is easy. Set up Poudriere somewhere to build every night, log in, check security notices, and install the already compiled packages.

It applies pressure on a powerful, popular and perhaps a bit fragile US company.
Which in turn, the protesters probably think will apply pressure on the government ro change it's policy.
And in the sense that when KSA fighters sortie to bomb Yemen, US forces are right there to refuel them. That's a military cooperation.

At some point it will be possible to create very realistic CP without using children. Actually it might already be possible to do that. One would have thought that would solve most of the problem: create "artificial" CP with strict controls to ensure children are not involved, and let the weirdos watch as much as they want. (Admittedly, there would still probably be some super-weirdos who would be totally turned off by seeing the "Attestation of No Children Involved" message at the beginning of their CP...)

But this comment seems to imply that there would be a problem with that? What is the harm in movies that harm no one?

>>It is appointed to be the best and most competent venue to address problems like that. Government is the way "collective individuals and businesses" solve the problems that impact the whole society.

I do not believe that should be the function of government, nor that is was "appointed" to do any such thing.

The role of government is protect the negative rights of individuals, government "is the organization of the natural right of lawful defense. It is the substitution of a common force for individual forces. And this common force is to do only what the individual forces have a natural and lawful right to do: to protect persons, liberties, and properties; to maintain the right of each, and to cause justice to reign over us all." -- Frédéric Bastiat

> The choice of countries may not be arbitrary. The Executive Order is most definitely Trump's choice.

The distance between declaring a whole nation to be "high risk" and refusing entry to those coming from those "high risk" nations is very slim.

It would be understandable if there was any backlash or public outcry against labeling whole nations and all people passing through them as being "high risk", but there was none.

As there was zero oucry, this sounds a whole lot more like partisan, kneejerk anti-Trump rants than anything else.

Perhaps this is only a wakeup call for americans to take a long hard look at their immigration and foreign relations policies, which have been put in place since the early 2000s. Trump hasn't revolutionized anything. If anything, he is only directing attention to what the US has been continuously doing since then.

Star Trek depicted one of the scarier applications of such a technology: There, The Jem'Hadaar are a genetically engineered race of warriors controlled by the Dominion, who exert power over them by being the sole provider of a substance (Ketracel-White) that they need in order to survive:

If my reading of the paper is correct, the unnatural XY base pair doesn't have any function per se, but without it the organism fails to replicate its DNA and quickly dies. Hence you can argue that after introducing it, the XY base pair has a vital function, as without it the organism can't survive anymore. And since the organism has no way to synthesize X & Y itself, it needs to be supplied from the outside for its whole lifetime. This, in turn, provides a neat way to build "self-terminating" organisms that depend on a steady supplement of the given substance. One could of course argue that vitamins are exactly the same, but contrary to those the artificial base pairs would not be found in the wild, so supply could be controlled more easily.
According to Robert Reich[0], the republicans' whole plan is to use trump to ram through their unpopular agenda and then impeach him when he's no longer useful:

Him: They’ll get as much as they want – tax cuts galore, deregulation, military buildup, slash all those poverty programs, and then get to work on Social Security and Medicare – and blame him. And he’s such a fool he’ll want to take credit for everything.
Me: And then what?
Him (laughing): They like Pence.
Me: What do you mean?
Him: Pence is their guy. They all think Trump is out of his mind.
Him: So the moment Trump does something really dumb – steps over the line – violates the law in a big stupid clumsy way … and you know he will ...
Me: They impeach him?
Him: You bet. They pull the trigger.
