This is a bit meta, but both of you stated a position without providing a concrete rationale.

Something to consider is that people can gloss over an explanation for convenience. For example: in the previous sentence, I didn't provide any proof that it's accurate. You could make the argument that nobody glosses over explanations for convenience.

I don't think it's necessarily worth proving every statement, because that'd be extremely time-consuming. But if you provide an opposing viewpoint, back it up with clear reasons (this helps filter out positions that are undefendable), and I'm interested in defending my position or continuing the discussion, then we can have a meaningful discussion from that.
China has effectively mandated IPv6, and IPv6 certainly is popular in China (I think all mobile phones in PRC use IPv6, I may be wrong) - but let's not forget that China is promoting IPv6 because APNIC's allocated IPv4 space for China was comically undersized.
Just because Go eschews decades of CS knowledge, in the name of the "easy to hire programmers" for Google[1], it doesn't make it less true.

GSM and LTE use public goods (spectrum).

Spectrum is owned by the public, and regulated as spectrum is a limited resource. IP messaging isn't by any practical means a limited resource.

> As far as I know, as long as I have the right to use the frequencies, I could start my own cellular telco that transmits whatever format I want.

No. Spectrum is regulated in terms of what technology you can use, and kind of usage is supported. You can't buy LTE spectrum and broadcast radio on top of it, and vice versa. You can't (in most cases) take 2G spectrum and deploy LTE on top of it.

Have any sources on that? Sellers are suspended quite often.

Microsoft's one-way integration was them not exposing presence and typing notifications to services they federated with (but they were "taking" that data from others).

Absolutely, but it's such a double-edged sword. All else being equal, I love ruby, and when it comes to shitty legacy codebases, you can do worse than ruby because of the power at your disposal to work around problems. On the other hand, it's not that hard in ruby to make something that is so thoroughly fucked that there's no reasonable option but to nuke it from space.

The beauty of Java, Go and Haskell (never thought I'd use those 3 in the same sentence) is that you really have to work to fuck things up that badly.

ISPs' and carriers' data would cover every single person with a phone or Internet connection. It would be a universal database of locations, and a virtually-universal database of browsing habits tied not only to an IP, but an address and social security number. Will all of that be disclosed? Unlikely. But with an incentive to warehouse it, more ISPs and carriers will, and that makes for a juicy target.

1) I didn't pick .NET Core because I'm not in a leadership position, I'm probably the developer in my job who gets paid the least, and has the lowest of job titles, unless we at some point have an intern.

2) My Team Lead picked .NET Core, we are porting from Silverlight, not from ASP .NET which I have a feeling eventually will stop being included as a project template for Visual Studio as more people swap to ASP .NET Core so if that becomes the case I could see why I wouldn't be asked to develop a project in ASP .NET just to recode it later on down the road.

3) I might of mistaken EF Core not implementing features with ASP .NET Core, they seem to be shifting a lot of things for ASP .NET Core, especially with Identity being a new way of doing things. ASP .NET has always "lost" features along the way, need we remember when it was not even called .NET and was just "ASP"? Not sure why I need citations for that, you could form your own conclusions. I'm just a "Junior" anyway what do I know?

Well, Facebook doesn't have access to your browsing history. At least not most of it, though it's probably still, you know, more that enough to cause a lot of pain.

Google does have access in some situations (chrome + linked profile), but as far as I know they don't sell that access.

Of course, both offer some subset of information for users.
IANAL, so I can't give you an educated response here. Not being a lawyer, I tend to act with an abundance of caution in these areas.

I worked on certain financial data models for long enough (9 years, a quarter of my life) that they're burned into my brain. Even though it's been 4 years since I've worked for that company, I could easily reproduce probably at least 90% of the data model with a fairly high degree of accuracy. That is stuff I cannot unlearn or forget. I never signed a non-compete, but I did sign an NDA that expired after a year, so I'd be in the clear if I were to re-implement something similar (I wouldn't - the data model was awful).
So, this is just funny to look how ad company with a lot of $$$ is playing with its toys and throwing it away as soon as it is already boring.
That whole argument "you have to write your own Lisp and then you will see the light" is completely wrongheaded and should be retired. Any computing person with two brain cells to rub together sees red flags in it. Did you build your own bicycle from scratch before understanding the wonder of riding a bicycle? The way Lisp is taught is wrong too; students in some courses are given too many exercises involving hypothetical scenarios in which some half of Lisp is missing and they have to put it back.

A Scheme that someone wrote in 48 hours following a tutorial isn't something I'd want to use in production. It's missing the whole angle of Lisp being a feature-rich, mature language suitable for production use.

A Lisp is valuable because of what you don't have to write in it to get the job done.
Meh, any competent programmer can understand sets..

I love this! I initially assumed your understanding was what s/he meant too but the wording in the last sentence caused me to think the boxes were also art. We are having the exact problem described in the article. Is the bench a bench or an art? Is the gigantic crossword puzzle a puzzle to be completed, or a work that should never be written on?

Is the box a box, or an art? Regardless of the answer, tape never should be used or cut carelessly :-)

But if it's an absolute quality, it shouldn't depend on the arrangement or state of brain matter at all. The mass of a group of atoms is an absolute quality that doesn't change depending on how you move them about. Yet our experience of consciousness depends totally and critically in highly testable ways on the arrangement of atoms in our neurons. There doesn't seem to be much absolute about it at all. Even tiny changes can eliminate it completely. I just find it very hard to credit the absolute quality proposition, yet I don't see how dualism can avoid it.

So yes materialist answers to this question still have a lot of explaining to do, but dualism can't have a free ride either. It certainly doesn't seem to me to be simpler. At least in the physicalist explanation we can point to other epiphenomena and compare them to consciousness in broad ways. But what known, explicable, testable phenomena can we compare dualism to? It stands apart from all of science.

It keeps coming up because I believe media is a self-fulfilling prophecy for civilization. As much as we keep being reminded of this truth, we are also SOLD the idea of competing by consumption and status. Social media breeds this mentality more and more while also making the world more connected. There is a lot of cognitive dissonance happening on a global scale like never before right now.
IANAL, but...

5th amendment is self-incrimination, 4th is unwarranted search and seizure.

I don't know the current law, but it used to be that e-mails left on a server for more than 6 months were treated like abandoned property, which has a lower-bar to clear for the 4th amendment. I seem to recall hearing that this was changed a while back though.

How the 4th amendment applies to any case is complicated though because it's very much a sliding scale of intrusiveness, with higher levels of intrusiveness requiring more cause for searching.
That was my understanding, too (and the ZIP + 4 were correct). I'm just recalling the excuse they used when my package went to the wrong state and arrived 3 days late.

> It makes sense to put a ok(maybe bad) worker in a differnt position to see if they do better. Often seen as a promotion by others even if it's not.

What makes me look askance at this practice as a whole is when the ok/bad people are put in charge of the good workers. I've been a part of and heard of other teams (in my case specifically as a trench-software worker) being run into the ground by someone cross promoted and given serious control w/o oversight and minimal leadin.

Obviously that's anecdotal at best, but I've seen it in my corner as extremely common.
This is the cleanest layout I've seen for one of these playgrounds. 95% of my screen estate is the editor and preview - you shot the UI off the side and kept it out of my way. Thank you for that! The only thing missing for me are transpilers for CSS/HTML. I'm a bit spoiled in being able to use SCSS and Pug over at Codepen. Between choosing between autocomplete/error highlighting for .ts or SCSS/Pug support I sadly will pick the former.

I'm totally understanding if the only goal is to support .ts and there are no future plans to add scss/pug support, but I'd switch to using this in an instant over using Codepen if it ever gets added!

I'll play around with it and let you know my thoughts after I use it a bit. :)

For bonus confusion, the Google Messenger icon just says "Messenger" and is nearly indistinguishable from Facebook Messenger, a completely different system. Better keep track of which blue speech bubble is which.
In C#, you can overload operators, so the + could in theory do anything.

You can certainly tell them that, and they may even find it easier to remember, but it won't actually be the reason that one convention is better than another.

Whether pi or Tau is preferable a priori is logically distinct from whether it makes sense to change conventions once one is established.

think of elected representatives as beholden to shareholders, rather than voters, and it might make more sense to you.
I'm including the Gryadka author's rebuttal here, for completeness:

Thank you for the analysis of my post but it seems that you didn't get it correctly. Even to read a value you have to execute the full cycle (prepare, accept) of consensus (in the case of the stable leader we can skip prepare), so when you read the nil value the state of the system will be:

A: (value=foo ballot=1 promised=2)
B: (value=nil ballot=2 promised=2)
C: (value=nil ballot=2 promised=2)

Not the one you mentioned in the post:

A: (value=foo ballot=1 promised=2)
B: (value=nil ballot=0 promised=2)
C: (value=nil ballot=0 promised=2)

So the counter example is incorrect.

I proved the algorithm mathematically by hand and used very aggressive property based testing with fault injections so I'm pretty confident in its correctness.

I'm a little late to your reply. I agree with you in general that locks aren't the be-all/end-all in security. But, I don't feel your statement is completely correct.

I can think of two reasons to have a good lock.

1. Not all insurance will cover theft unless there's evidence of a break-in. [1] This was a problem with the bump keys where no evidence of a break in was left, other than maybe some scratches on the face of the lock itself.

2. Padlocks, often including bike locks, can often be shimmed or raked easily. It's one thing to carry around a pair of large bolt cutters in downtown manhattan, it's another to carry a little shim in your pocket.

"And a burglar that breaks in with a bump key shows no visible sign of forced entry, but further examination from an expert can determine if the pins were manipulated. Insurance companies may still be resistant in paying on a claim, even with a forensic locksmiths findings."

Having been an avid player at the time I can see how a specific well written narrative as opposed to procedural generated stories would have benefited the overall player experience, but in all honesty I don't think it would have made that much of a difference in the games success. You either enjoyed playing or you didn't; the story was always somewhat secondary to just solving the missions and ideally getting the mastermind. Cryptanalysis and circuit logic weren't everyone's cup of tea especially when you consider games like King's Quest 5 & Ultima 6 came out the same year and the years that followed were a blitz of games with much improved graphics and gameplay like Wolf 3d, Wing Commander 2, Dune, etc...
This is awesome, thanks for sharing it.

It pains me though that you haven't experienced a 'real' logic analyzer (and that is in quotes because they are all real but originally they were different).

So originally, the way the logic analyzer worked was that you had a 'clock' module and 'data' lines. The clock module fed a clock signal into analyzer and you told it so sample the data lines on the rising, falling, or both clock edges. It was done this way because all digital logic works on the clock edges. You could also 'oversample' where you ran the system clock through a clock doubler or quadrupler or octupler and used that as your clock source. That would let you look at a signal multiple times. Most of the doubler circuit patents[1] have expired so using them/building them is fine.

Given that setup you could analyze your logic using the clock the logic was using and everything just worked. To translate back into 'real' time you either had to measure the logic's clock or annotate the samples with a free running clock built into the analyzer.

What you have built, and a lot of people have experienced on things like the Rigol scope and elsewhere, is more like a 'digital oscilloscope' where you digitally sample the inputs at a given frequency. This is fine for doing serial bus decoding (especially if you can sample at 16x the bus frequency) but it doesn't help on logic analysis if your tracking down timing issues. Because the signal may have changed state at any time between the sampling interval you can't check setup or hold times accurately.

I agree. This is where the bottleneck is. What really hurts for me is knowing just how close we are but how many are willfully choosing to stay in the dark.

Buffer overflows were discovered earlier than that, in 1972.

http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/history/ande72.pdf

However regular C programmers in the 70s and 80s were not defending themselves against arbitrary code execution from buffer overflows.

In addition, you can take C programming books from the time and see how functions like memcpy and strcpy were being used in unsafe ways.

That is my point. If you are going to reuse old programs, be aware that in earlier decades there wasn't as much awareness about security as there is today.
