"Intellectual Property" is the use of the State's violence in an attempt to enforce an artificial scarcity upon something that is naturally non-scarce - information. It is inherently antithetical to a free society and always ends up hurting the everyman (and society at large) in the long run.
Her problem is her problem.

I would also probably have held the door open, as I was taught that was the polite thing to do.

And she probably would have yelled at me the same way she did at you.

Interesting. Is there any language you or the sibling have used that does this with eval, and does it find much use?
I wouldn't use the word "illegal" - it's a directive of OMB (the White House's management and budget office), not a law or a regulation or an executive order. The only true enforcers are OMB themselves.

But to answer your other question, as part of the Department of Commerce, a "CFO Act" agency, USPTO would not be exempt.
So you've read every TOS for every iTunes, or Android, or Windows update, ever? And if not, you'd be fine with handing over the keys for your house if one of them had a sentence in there that transferred it to Apple/Google/MS?
Given how much content is generated on online forums, it is natural to have a mechanism to surface better/relevant content (different forums define relevance differently).

My key objection is that what the majority of users think is "better/relevant" should have no influence on what I think is better and relevant. I can decide for myself, I don't need the 'hivemind'.

What's wrong with just a "deleting memes" policy?
Gosh, look at you trying to be cool by being contrarian.
>Which is what exactly?

The fact that the three letters are continuously failing to understand the long term blowback potential of the programs they start, regardless of initial merit. In this case, instead of spending nearly as much time doing hardening documents, they were busy comprimising everything. The name of almost all of our fuckups in this arena is blowback.

>I don't see how exploiting backdoors by your security agency is so nefarious

When they use them for lawful purposes, such of foreign sigint, ok. With that kind of power though, at a bare minimum I would be concerned about abuses of that power domestically. At a minimum. I could wax on about all the reasons it could be bad for a long time.

>How about congressional, judicial and executive oversight? Because that's what we have now.

That's exactly what I said was needed. A technocratic oversight committe could exist in all branches on this subject. Also, we really don't have good oversight in place. Think about the kind of effects this has on potential oversight bodies...

For example, the chairman on the senate intel committee is about to vote for more oversight of $secretprogram. It's imperative to national security that this program not receive scrutiny, so it's allowed to use these 0days against them, find or plant blackmail material, and exploit that to get the chairman of oversight to not do it.

This is the kind of shit I was talking about having been warning people about. It's not just about the surveillance. Surveillance is always about control, not security, security is just the bullshit they sell the public to not induce outcry.
False dichotomy, it's not nuclear vs coal (which is terrible anyways as you note)

"not typically included in levelised cost of electricity assessments is the cost of decommissioning a reactor and disposing nuclear waste, says Roula Inglesi-Lotz an energy economist and associate professor at the University of Pretoria. This would further increase the price of nuclear energy. Even when these costs are not included in calculations, the cost of nuclear investment remains high."

No it's ok, the argument is still nuclear is too expensive.

https://c1cleantechnicacom-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/files/201...

Note that nuclear isn't getting any better, while other sources are improving every year. Would you rather plonk down a massive capital payment for a very average nuclear plant for the next 50-80 years, or gradually add more and more efficient sources of energy over that same time period?

You're skeptical it is possible for something to be more efficient than the US Government?
I believe the two could be sufficiently differentiated in execution to satisfy the USTPO. It's a rather subjective system.
NYT also publishes some pretty crass, clickbaity opinion pieces. I used to like Krugman, but his opinion pieces have gotten increasingly annoying the last few years. It's not that I disagree with what he says, it's just that they're poorly written rants that merely serve to make NYT look more tabloid.
Port numbers as service locators is driving us to ipv4 exhaustion. We have 65535 port numbers available on each ipv4 address we could use to run a web server, but we only use 2 (443,80). That's 48bits of addressing information, which is a metric crap ton.

I have a separate theory as to why ipv6 is being pushed so hard by advertising companies like Facebook, Google, and the US Government (CIA, NSA): it makes it very easy to casually track the number of hosts behind firewalls. While not impossible with ipv4 at the layer4 level using fingerprinting techniques, it's quite difficult to do at scale, is unreliable, and spoofable. Ipv6 makes this trivial for anyone, and will allow ip transit providers to scrape more information about users, even those encrypting layer5+ traffic.
Dave Touretzky's course Computational Models of Neural Systems should be checked out by anyone with the interest in the topic.

The readings page alone is a treasure trove of background text in computational neuroscience theory starting from 1970s.
Hmm, this stuff looks familiar, I tried to learn it once upon a time. The operators make sense to me except for "return" which just seems like a hack, or excessive syntax sugar. If you already have type constructors, why the magic "return" function that needs to sniff the surrounding scope to see what kind of monads you are actually dealing with?
People will always suggest what they know as a solution to everything. A lot of people only have deep knowledge of, say, Javascript or Python. That's why you see people in threads like this suggesting these languages as the solution for whatever problem they envision.

That's also why you see horrible solutions for problems that have already been solved in the past.

There should be a rule that says that you are not allowed to design a framework until you have direct experience in developing for at least 5 different systems from different periods in history first.

My experience is the opposite. The really good ones in the team will threaten to leave if they don't get onsite (US opportunity). Manager will tell them wait for a few months. After a few months of waiting, they will start bugging the manager regularly. Finally, they will agree to apply for his visa. It's currently happening to a guy in my team. He has been told to wait for more than two years now.

Writing bug-free shell programs is hard because it doesn't provide safe defaults. By now I've gotten reasonably decent at shell scripts due to trial and error, and shellcheck... But if I'm doing anything fancy, I just opt for a node script using shelljs and any other third-party deps to cover my needs. This also has the benefit of typically working cross-platform. Although that's not as big of a concern for me, for some people it makes a big difference.

For my day-to-day shell, I use fish. IMO, it has much better defaults than bash and zsh, and it's fast. I still have to use bash sometimes, but it's becoming increasingly rare.

Your linked example doesn't really seem particularly tricky to me. I'd feel comfortable writing it in something like node or ruby, and I believe the result would probably be easier to consume for certain people.

It boils down to this: Capitalism is not the goal of society, it is a tool.

Somewhere in the past few decades we've conflated the two - and a larger portion of our population believe that Capitalism is the goal. It's not, it's a way to achieve our goals. It is efficient, it is effective, it will always have little to no morals and consolidate in the hands of the few. That is not a judgement of the system it is an assessment. No different than stating a hammer will will work well with nails and poorly with screws.

We as a world society (and particularly an American socienty) need to refocus on what our goals of society are. And actively decided when to use and when to rein in specific tools to achieve our goals.

Absent of focusing on goals, our tools become our goals and we get the results we're seeing today.

That's some impressive graphics fetishism on display there. It's hard not to take offense at the comment that anything less is not "worthy". Not everyone is a AAA studio with an engine development team, nor should everyone hold themselves to those standards of engine performance.

OpenGL 3.3 is a pretty nice target. It's easy to port an OpenGL 3.3 game to a lot of systems, including mobile, since OpenGL ES 2.1 is pretty similar, and Windows XP, which cannot run DirectX 10. (This matters less as time goes on, but it's been an important point in certain markets in Asia.) So you can write the graphics code once, more or less, and run it everywhere, more or less.

The idea that somebody who chooses to do this is therefore not "competent" just boggles the mind. No point in deriding engineers who decide not to use the latest bells and whistles in the graphics pipeline. Maybe they just have other priorities.

(To clarify: the recommendation that everyone should just use OpenGL regardless of situation is, in fact, stupid. So I agree with that part. But it's equally stupid to say that everyone should use D3D12 / Metal regardless of circumstance.)
Perhaps these companies have such varied requirements that none of the existing TSDB systems fully support? We built our own custom time series db, along with a suite of tools for accessing, slicing, plotting, etc bc (at the time, at least) there was no support for bitpacking data, and storing/calculating certain spatial data operations.
I think my way of working is not too dissimilar from yours. I definitely use plenty of `rebase -i` in my workflow.

Dissolved sugar is probably invisible or close. Can you see a difference between a glass of Coke and a glass of Diet Coke? One has 140 calories and the other has nominally zero.

That's not to say you couldn't approximate it and tell someone they ate a Twinkie today which is more fattening than the steamed broccoli they had yesterday. And you could probably help people manage their diet better with an app that could do that. But it's always going to be an approximation with a potential for large error in certain cases.

Regulation isn't a binary thing. And it's probably better to speak of government intervention than regulation, as the former is more general. We need to cut the interventions that effectively serve as protectionism for powerful interests and reinforce those that provide for a fair market and protect the social good.

Obviously, those things are subjective, but I would welcome a political discourse that centered on how we slice those concerns.

I would love a Netflix/Spotify-style news system where I pay a flat monthly fee, get articles from dozens or hundreds of providers, and absolutely, positively no ads. There's no other way I'll ever pay for a subscription to a single news source, and I'm going to continue to block ads. I agree with others that even just tracking what I read makes me not want to subscribe. I just want a news feed, possibly that I can tailor, and with no ads. I'll pay for it.
I'm familiar with them, while they allow one to hide your MAC address, they still individually identify you. It's sort of how like Verizon was caught injecting an arbitrary, but unique, http header into their user's http traffic. While it didn't provide your actual identity, it allowed advertisers to sort your traffic very easily.
The whole point of monads (and most other typeclasses) is that they're an abstraction. If you use a type constructor then you cannot generalize your function to work with any kind of monad, see for example the definition of `mapM` in https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.9.1.0/docs/src/GH... which uses `return`
bcherny is saying that karma's primary function is content curation. sure, you might like a few downvoted submissions from time to time, but for most content karma scores will be saving you time sifting through a sea of content. removing content by hand requires an active and vigilant moderation team, user votes help mitigate that burden. Also, the power to 'delete' is most likely a slippery slope...
What you are describing is not what the author of the article is advocating, which is `git merge --squash`.

What you've described -- committing often and later combining commits together into cohesive units that don't break tests -- is a lot like how I work. I use `git rebase -i` for this; never `git merge --squash`.
> Do you people seriously believe that 4/23 is the same period of time in NYC as it is in London?

Honestly, it sounds like you didn't read the article and/or you misunderstood grandparent comment.

The Date class in Java does not represent a calendar date or period of time like "April 23th 2017". It represents an instant in time. It is precise to the millisecond and it does not depend on a specific time zone -- although it can be represented in different time zones. If you give the same (Java) Date value to a bunch of of people around the world and tell them to hook up to your live chat at that date and time, they will be able to attend at that time with no further information (such as timezone).

The article you linked to is advice from people who port games to Linux on how to make games more portable. It's not advice on how to ship them on time, how to make them performant, how to minimize the amount of developer labor required to build them. Given what a small share of the market Linux is for games, developers have other priorities than what makes games easy to port to Linux. And it's not a chicken-and-egg problem; the Linux market for games isn't much smaller than the Linux market for any other commercial software.

Yeah I'm such a racist conservative that I voted in the primary for Bernie, and certainly would have voted for him again in the general if DNC hadn't been in the tank for Mrs. Superpredator, because he had the most credible argument for something, anything different.

Perhaps you can't imagine it, but I really don't care about purported "differences" between Ds and Rs. It's clear that both of those gangs are interested in exploring only a tiny portion of the universe of political possibility. (So far, that seems to be the portion that maximizes public payouts to big political donors!) I have voted and will vote for any departure from that tiny area, in any direction whatsoever. If Vladimir Lenin and David Hume both rose from the grave and ran on a ticket together, I would vote for that. Unlike everyone who votes every election for the status quo (NB: that's you!), I am not a conservative.
E and Monte have safe eval() as a consequence of being object-based capability-safe languages; there's no way to cause any effect outside eval() worse than an infinite loop.

> that rebasing as part of a workflow was part lack of discipline when creating commits

Because we have rebase, there is not as much need for discipline when creating commits, because you can change change them later.

> and part desire to hide work that is incomplete or "imperfect"

When I do any kind of work, I usually submit the finished work to whomever needs it. It's not hiding, it's just giving people what they need.

When I use `rebase -i` in my workflow to alter my commit history, it's almost always for the purpose of helping code review. I want my commits to lead a reviewer logically down a path that helps them understand the role each change makes in a push request.

The problem in this particular case seems not to be too much freedom to buy and sell things but overreach by the courts.
