> Do we want to be in a society where only things deemed non-offensive are protected?

Well, offensive to whom? There's obviously "Nigger"... But wait. It's offensive if a white person calls a black person that. But many a time, blacks will call each other that to 'own' the word and reclaim its power. So we have an immediate example of an offensive word that isn't offensive in many cases.

Or in recent years, simply asking "Are you a man or woman?" is offensive if they pull the 'not gender binary'-card. Yeah, we can ignore the fact that you either have sperm or eggs, or genetic anomalies that have interesting medical conditions.. But the question in certain groups is "Offensive".

Then there's the last group of people who are, what I call, professional victims. I've not seen a conservative one of these yet. They primarily are in the extremist liberal camps, and the smallest innocuous things will set them off in tirades. To them, everything they don't do is "Offensive". And this "Offensiveness" changes as per person. I usually treat these people by ignoring them. You cannot win. (An example of one of them is demanding to have others use some pronoun like hir or zir or zem. And they will get angry if you ask, don't ask, use a different one around other people or... )

Edit: I try for a variant of the Robustness Principle. Unless someone is intentionally mocking me, if they get some term wrong or use no longer "politically correct" terminology, I try to look past that for their underlying idea.
The NUC is not really for the same space - it's a desktop/server thing, totally unsuitable for embedded.

It's really a shame. I don't think Intel needs to lose the low end - they have the technology, but lack the will. Their mobile parts would work fine on an RPi-class board and the architecture would be far more cohesive.
In my experience it really comes down to NGINX is trying to position themselves as a replacement for load balancers like F5's BigIPs. So they have functionality that goes well beyond what you'd call an HTTP Server. For instance Layer 4 proxying rather than just Layer 7 proxying.

But that's just my experience at work. I'm sure there's a ton of other reasons. I can't say that I really agree with your list. I actually find Apache's documentation to be much better, I find myself needing to go read the code to figure out some behaviors with NGINX quite often still. Process isolation with CGI can be equally done with Apache httpd as with NGINX. I can't say I'm familiar with NGINX's caching behavior in detail since we're not using it. Also not sure what you mean by vhosting ecosystem since I see the design as pretty similar, unless you mean the upstream configuration.
“‘Microtargeting is trying to unravel your political DNA,’ [Gage] said. ‘The more information I have about you, the better.’ The more information [Gage] has, the better he can group people into "target clusters" with names such as ‘Flag and Family Republicans’ or ‘Tax and Terrorism Moderates.’ Once a person is defined, finding the right message from the campaign becomes fairly simple.”

Neal Stephenson wrote a book called Interface which predicted a form of tech-enabled micro-targeted politics over 20 years ago. It was disturbing at the time; it's almost considered business-as-usual now.

I believe American democracy would benefit from including the study of such techniques in our educational curriculum. When I was in school, we studied advertising techniques to help us be skeptical. We need the same for targeted political messages now.
> I try to pick my sides based on what seems right, not based on who else picks that side.

I look at the picker of sides and their motives to determine the consequences of picking a side. I tend to favor protection of people as a whole.
How so? Gitter is just like Slack.
Absolutely, and now with the twilight phase of Moore's Law, Intel can't run away to its superior process technology to avoid innovation in microarchitecture.

I think trademarks generally take at least 6 months to go through, so this probably isn't a great avenue for trolling. Also, you could already call yourself whatever you want. It's not that much more impactful to be able to put a little TM next to your group's name.
Why not go with a Ryzen 7 1700 instead if you want more cores?
I dunno about the jail part, but the being ultimately responsible for the actions of the people working for you sort of goes with the title.

Like, why is the organization set up so that 1 programmer can make a catastrophic mistake? The CEO is responsible for that.
The context of the time doesn't make the actions of the KKK any less unpleasant or disgusting. Lynchings and laws codified to keep non white people sub citizens are and were far beyond unpleasant, whether the majority of white people at the time believed so or not.
Your framing begs the question. The court ruled that the government does not, in fact, "provide IP coverage." You have a right to IP coverage. It is not the government's speech, it is your own.

From the opinion: "If private speech could be passed off as government speech by simply affixing a government seal of approval, government could silence o rmuffle the expression of disfavored viewpoints."
Cool - I didn't know this project. I might take your offer on the free with survey next time I work on a research project with economists or finance people. (If the offer is still available)

In a eU research project we used this http://eventregistry.org/correlate

Good luck - I like your idea.
Yes that is very much the case, but people are still using these things.
FWIW also a hiring manager, and I wouldn't say I've seen a huge correlation between technical aptitude and efficacy from the recruiters I've worked with. A good recruiter typically learns what you are looking for and who would like to work for you from how far their candidates get into the interview process and the feedback from both sides, and adjusts to match. This doesn't require having much understanding of any of the technology involved.

The primary litmus test I apply, and I think it is quite effective, is "after I tell you I prefer to communicate via email, do you still call me constantly or do you actually stick to email."
It could be misconstrued as granting legitimacy by "officially allowing" the slur.
I'd buy a dozen ;-)
Gross negligence.

Yes, there has to be REAL consequences, even if its incredibly easy to do. Same goes for setting fires..
> Do we want to be in a society where only things deemed non-offensive are protected?

There are already many limitations on truly free speech, as there should be. Should this type of speech be limited? It's a valid question.

My main objection in this thread was to the specific statement: "This is a win for a free society." It implies that the defense was fighting against a "free society." I'm saying that two people can disagree on this specific matter while both being in support of a "free society." There's no need to polarize this issue in terms of free vs. non-free.

The trademark office interpreted the statute one way, the plaintiffs another way, it worked its way through the courts and the decision came down in the plaintiffs' favor, so the trademark office will change its interpretation. The system works.

There's no need to villainize the trademark office for disagreeing on the interpretation of a statute that hadn't yet been clarified by the courts.
It's poor form to describe items as clear, obvious, trivial, 'of course', easy to see, and so on. To look too much into it: if the item is clearly​ understood then there's no need to identify it as clear. Clearly it's clear. It bothers me too.
UK is the exception. Looking globally, one gets the impression that grocery delivery is a niche, with pickup being the more popular option.
To those who know how to use IPFS - how do I make it so that my computer mirrors those files with this hash?
The trick I use if I'm writing anything more than one paragraph is to write it first in my #mike personal channel (easy to get to with Ctrl+K or Cmd+K), and then copy and paste it to the channel it's intended for.

This way I don't have to worry about hitting Enter at the wrong time. I can also preview the message so I see exactly how it will be formatted, and no one has to see the "mike is typing" messages while I edit.

I also went to the extreme of creating a private Slack team just for myself. I was using the personal channel trick and found that if I included an image in my talking-to-myself message, and then pasted it to another channel, it didn't automatically display the image in that channel. I guess Slack figured the image had already been displayed somewhere within the team even though it wasn't in a public or private channel. I have a feeling this has been fixed by now.
"You can also see the CPU's registers on this board." That made me LOL a bit. Very interesting architecture.
Funnily enough, this article is one of thousands of articles I have read which are contributing to my own reading problem, as seems to be the case with many of the Journalists quoted in the article. The massive size of the media, all the angles and interpretations of all of the dizzying number of events has began to suck me in like a trap, while Slaughterhouse Five sits mostly unread. I think I'm slowly coming to the realization though that the news really isn't all that valuable to me, and I read way too much of it, and far too few books.
If it was the Planet Money episode [1] I also heard, I thought it was interesting how uncomfortable I was when the reporter was asking the lawyer what words should be off limits, and he was fine with every one of them being trademarked.

I'm guessing it was the Planet Money episode they did last month? Great episode:

Of course it does. These days, just imagine the most insidious and nightmarish overreach and wait a few weeks. 2017 is looking like a benchmark year in this regard.
>That studies don't have literally the same people in both groups...

Go back to my first comment and tell me where I mention any kind of studies.

All I was point was at the logical fallacy in the claim that something hadn't any negative impact on you because you turned to be out fine, without comparing with a version of you without the influence of that something...

In the equation, 10 = y - z, you cannot say that z is 0 without knowing y, right?

I am saying just that.

EDIT: regarding branching timelines and butterfly effect, are you talking to yourself?
I recently wrote a thing for myself to let me remember one password and generate different passwords for each of my accounts.

https://github.com/kybernetikos/sinkless

I like it because there isn't any third party or service for me to trust, but I can still have unique complex passwords for each purpose. It feels pretty much the same as having them all in my head.
bulk-decaffeinate ( https://github.com/decaffeinate/bulk-decaffeinate ) supports an outputFileExtension option that can make it so the resulting files end in .ts. But really, the main thing to do when converting JavaScript to TypeScript is adding types, which decaffeinate is much less qualified to do. But if you're going to move from CoffeeScript to TypeScript, JavaScript is probably a pretty important intermediate step.

Deterministic (stateless) password managers have lots of usability issues which make them a pain to use in practice. Here's a good summary that I wrote up a while back: https://security.stackexchange.com/a/94128/29865
> Apache has support for the same event driven model that NGINX has. Since most people get their copy of Apache from their distribution they're often getting a rather old version of Apache.

I don't think that's fair to Linux distros, either. Most popular distros have been shipping mpm_event for quite a few years, even if not enabled by default (because of mod_php).

I understand that as a developer of a phenomenal piece of software, you would prefer everyone to use the latest and greatest version. But for a typical user, Apache is so stable that the difference between CentOS's 2.4.6, Ubuntu's 2.4.18, and the latest version doesn't look large enough to have a significant effect in an "Apache vs. nginx" debate. After all, distros ship outdated versions of everything, including nginx.
Webp didn't took off as we would like, I'm still using JPEG, SVG and PNG for all artworks. I believe Microsoft and major graphics editing have plans to support HEIF because their software are running on macOS and iOS. Affinity Photo and Designer surely will.

Web browsers might supported HEIF largely because Imgur and other image hosting will benefits from smaller size.
I love the downvotes you received - it shows that people here are sorely ignorant of history and probably should be stripped of the right to vote in light of that fact.

Ok, so you analyze "regions". Then what? Modify the data structures to use some kind of efficient headerless representation? Then stop the world and rewrite the whole heap if a new class gets loaded that violates an assumption? Or if existing code tries to use reflection to look at these things?

Nothing's impossible I guess, but this kind of global datastructure reshaping is definitely far beyond the state of the art in Java JIT compilers.
These chips were too expensive to supplant Raspberry Pis, Arduinos, and ESP8266s.

I wish Intel's IoT story had revolved around the Intel Compute Stick -- targeting people who know how to write Windows native applications and are less familiar with Linux/embedded development. Plus, Intel chips can be used in appliances (e.g. ATMs and kiosks based on Windows or Chrome OS).

This is a win for the redskins but I think the majority of us don't care anymore about the name that strongly. Pretty interesting to see this resolved though, especially since there was a ton of fake-news when this case first started about a name change being imminent.

The only thing I agree with is the mentoring. If you have a desire to learn and you can find a strong and supportive mentor, then you will go far. All the other stuff in the article feels like high school popularity contest tips.
You don't need to do all those things to "level up". Side projects are nice, but you'll find most people - especially in corporate/business software - don't have side projects. Nor should they have to. People have families and duties outside of software, so I hate how there's a cultural push to be a huge github contributor; it pressures ordinary folks to take time away from their other passions. Just be a good person and willing to learn, that should take you far enough.

I feel like it's more of the way you respond to people trying to guilt trip you or make you ashamed of what you said. Most people tend to back down or apologize and end up playing their attacker's game.

Some people seem to be doing just fine with saying whatever is on their mind and getting away with it. Notable example is the current president...
I haven't used VHDL for work yet (just skimmed the existing code base), but I just took a course on it, this was my main takeaway. There were some gotchas in the language (perhaps in the error reporting in the particular implementation more than the language itself) that took some getting used to, but the hardest conceptual problem for the class (most of us were programmers, and the hardware guys were green and came from non-CMPE backgrounds) was the idea that many of the statements you write happen concurrently, or are scheduled to happen at a future point in the code. So code like:

process
begin
X <= X + 1;
Y <= X;
end process;

With X = 4 at the start, you will end up with (X,Y) = (5,4).

Once you start wrapping your head around these concepts reasoning isn't so hard (and having been a CMPE major once I had the basis for this academically, but it was far in the past so had been forgotten). Certainly not harder than trying to understand distributed systems and coordination between them, in fact it's a lot of the same problems just applied at a different scale.
"Here" in GP's comment is stated as being The Netherlands. Europe does in general have stricter data protection laws than the US, though I don't know them well enough to know which bits of this leak would be illegal here. Allowing the leak itself would be, at least under UK law.
Oh, this looks wonderful. I've used one big gpg encrypted file for years, still better than all password managers I tried.

I'm wondering if there is a way to combine find and show with pass though. Like pass find <keyword> and show the password in one command. I realize I could probably use the grep command, but then I'd have to put the keyword into the encrypted file as well, and I'd need to decrypt all files to find it.

Edit: Gah, I was just thinking this should just be an alias, but the output of pass find can't just be fed to show either..

Looking for research purposes.
tl;dr: Amazon will "transform the Whole Foods supply chain into a service architecture based on primitives," using the stores as customers that guarantee a necessary level of scale.

I think this is basically true. Amazon will refactor Whole Foods' supply chain into something that serves both Amazon Fresh and the retail stores. This will allow Fresh to scale massively and dominate the category.

I would just emphasize that Amazon probably has more interest in Whole Foods then merely a guaranteed "customer". Whole Foods is bringing a lot of local supply chain relationships to the table.

But I agree 100% it's about the supply chain and not transforming retail stores into delivery hubs or anything silly like that. It won't hurt that the stores will freely promote Amazon Fresh and serve as great venues for sampling new products. But Amazon's goal here is to take over the category by massively scaling Fresh.

IMO this is the _only_ way to look at expenses -- the time "expense" is missed most of the time. One spends $20 on somethings, it's only 20, so what...

No it's not just $20 -- it's $20 PLUS the time you need to endure to earn that $20. And this time is what really counts -- the seconds, minutes, hour(s) you give away for that $20 whatever - the time you won't get back -- EVER!!!

For me, the only way to look at things is through time. Time is my most precious asset and it took me way too many years to figure this out and to re-set my mindset. It's where all the "passive income" stuff comes from -- from having something to endure time for your account, so you don't have to.

IMO this should be must-have on every browser, every (web)store right next to price: "$20 or approx. 2h of your life"

> It's not a free speech question, it's an intellectual property rights question.

No, it's a free speech question with regard to intellectual property, to wit, “may government engage in content-based discrimination in deciding the allocation of intellectual property, specifically trademark, rights.”
I don't think it would. The justices are smart people, they know full well the precedent they have set can be used by white supremacists et al. Their decision explicitly affirms that hate speech is not exempt from First Amendment protections.

As an aside, this is why the judicial system is probably my favorite branch of government. Debates in Congress are not real debates; congressman are using them to score political points, not convince the other side of their argument. Same with the executive branch, it's all about re-election which means they have to concern themselves with the optics of their actions. Only in the judicial branch do we at least try to make decisions based on reason and rational argument. It's how we got legal interracial marriage at a time when something like 90% of the population thought it was immoral. The justices don't care about the optics of the case, only the facts, because establishing a precedence means these decisions can have broad consequences.
