Slack (and clones) allows multiline messages with some light markdown formatting, bold, italic, monospace inline, monospace block, quote block. Technical and non technical people can use it. Some non technical people may even learn some basic formatting.

IRC doesn't do all that, especially multiline messages.

Also, Slack has an IRC gateway.

Well if you want to have recruiters attention and to have your resume look "populated" it might be a good idea, but the one who is deciding if you will get a job, or how high your salary will be, usually doesn't care about certifications. Your best weapons are your references and skills.
The UN convention on refugees is that a person MUST seek refugee status in the first non-war location they set foot on.

Whether or not this convention/policy makes sense is a different matter (it was not conceived of for the mass migrations we are seeing now), but technically speaking, these people stop being refugees when they leave the first peaceful state they are in. And practically, they are shopping for benefits -- why settle for Denmark which forces you to integrate, when you can get to Sweden and only integrate if you want to? Why settle for Greece or Turkey, where you get safety in a refugee camp, when you can go to Germany and get safety and help among the local's preferred residence?

I do not fault these people for trying to get the best for themselves - I'm not sure I'd have acted differently in their place - but the word "refugees" has very specific legal meaning, both locally and internationally, and therefore "so called refugees" is technically correct, because these people are not refugees by international conventions and definitions.

You're absolutely right. I missed that.
That comment is very general though. Exchanging bitcoins for cash, gold, diamonds for example would be harder to trace.
lottery() is the final method, meaning, its what we want to be called by owner while we still have the result block available. the manual_lottery() was created for testing purposes only and its going to be removed when on production network.

Didn't solaris end up ripping out M:N threading and switching to pure kernel threading as it was found inadequate as a general pthread implementation?
The only justification I can think of for putting it off until 2040 is improvements to the national grid. The grid would fail faster than enough capacity could be brought online. Annoyingly the UK government cancelled solar panel installation subsidies which could have perhaps mitigated this somewhat (along with some energy storage solutions).

It is a tragedy that pollution levels will increase between now and then through a deliberate government policy. 23 years is a ridiculously long way off. The Dutch pushing for a ban by 2025 (8 years!).
As others have noted, the US didn't just make up jurisdiction here or declare that they can prosecute anything anywhere -- the charges include an allegation that he transferred stolen BTC to a US-based company. That creates a crime the US has jurisdiction to prosecute.

It really is time for people to stop being gobsmacked at the idea that once you get entangled with an entity in a particular country, anything you do to or with that entity which violates the country's laws is fair game for them to extradite and prosecute you over. Shouting, "But I didn't do it in your country, I did it on the internet!" does not get people out of that.

Also, given just how much global network infrastructure passes through the US, and the near-impossibility of productively cashing out of most criminal schemes without involving a US institution, people should stop being surprised that their clever attempts to commit the perfect stateless crime are neither clever nor stateless.

You’re right; that wasn’t a thoughtful comment.
I like your "in the weeds" thoughts. There are a lot of intagibles that get wrapped up in employment, and many of them are very personal and contextual. Such things are incredibly resistant to meaningful quantification -- often the individual might even struggle to explain the dynamics that led to certain choices. A lot of food for thought here... thanks for the post!
> At least McCarthy had some pureness in his mind for LISP and it is not black or white argument.

In his 1958 paper describing what would become Lisp, literally the first example of the use of car he gives is destructively modifying a cons, ie, RPLACA. In his own words, which I quoted earlier and you didn't respond to: "Compared to the mathematically elegant recursive function definition features, the ``program feature'' looks like a hasty afterthought. This is not quite correct; the idea of having sequential programs in LISP antedates that of having recursive function definition."

It seems black and white to me.

> > but what you and Paul Graham seem to be doing is saying that that pure Lisp is the real Lisp and what was called Lisp before that (in theory and implementation)

> This is not my intention.

Could you explain how your intention differs? McCarthy's original conception of Lisp was not purely functional (according to McCarthy himself as well as the historical evidence), and the original implementation was not purely functional, so how would the purely functional subset described in a later paper be "the original LISP" if you aren't denying the earlier work?

No, it doesn't just move the goal posts - international law does make the first peaceful ground different by being the place a refugee needs to settle their status first.

The refugee infrastructure in Italy (and Turkey, and Greece, and Jordan) is stretched thin and breaking, as this law was not written for the current situation. And as a result, Italy asked for help, did not receive it, and is now threatening to use a loophole to grant every refugee seeker some EU status that would make them effectively pan-european refugees -- but that has not happened yet.

If you package this up as a higher-order component, you basically get this behavior. It would be pretty easy to do. But I think the way they designed it is smart. You want components that account for very granular concerns, and then compose them together to get more complex behavior.
I think we should help, but compared to capita Sweden has been carrying most of the burden for a war we have no stake in and for us it is a huge economical loss to host all these people here. Many will probably never have a job in Sweden.

Then it's the security issue, there is no background checks in Sweden. They could be literally mass murderers and IS-fighters and we would have no idea. Then there is this age issue. In Sweden they throw away their papers and say that they are underage when they are clearly sometimes around 30. Then they go to school with real boys and girls and shit like this happens:

It is time for Sweden to stop accepting refugees. I think very few people in Sweden are against immigration, just irresposible immigration.

> The only issue that irks me is that I can't resize a pool after it was created, can't add new disks, can't remove one (without risking parity).

This is what eliminates it from home use for me.

It means to expand the pool the only way is to copy everything off (so you need enough spare storage to hold your entire pool), rebuild, then copy it back. The alternative is don't expand, and just add additional pools, but that starts losing benefits quickly (not having to think about where there's free space when adding something, not having to look in multiple locations to find something).

Can anyone who has been using ZFS long-term at home comment? How do you add more space?

Public funds have developed plenty of alternatives to Windows. Spain alone had four Linux distros funded by different regional governments. A whole bunch of countries around the world made their own as well.

A UK parliament can't bind future parliaments. However, long term policies can be set - it's then up to governments in future to change the policy if they see fit.

I can certainly see the deadline slipping if pragmatic concerns dictate, but I doubt the policy will change in substance.

We don't really know what steps they took to launder the money though, do we? Maybe they were dumb and directly moved the coins from a known hack address to Tradehill.

If you're a bit patient and are willing to get your money only a small amount at a time I don't see why you wouldn't be able to launder even a significant amount of bitcoins. Use coin mixers, convert back and forth with other crypto-currencies (including Monero if you want), split and merge the coins, mix that with actual transactions to 3rd party accounts (gambling sites, donations, whatever)... Eventually people will lose track, or at the very least you'll have plausible deniability that the coins changed hands at some point.

> but it would still leave the other players competing with Adobe's own.

You have that backwards.

The effort going into open source projects emulating a closed source product are wasted if that closed source project can be open sourced. That's a win for everybody, after that the effort can be directed to something more important because perfection is now attainable.

The only reason these open source projects exist in the first place is because the reference implementation isn't open sourced. I'm pretty sure the maintainers of those projects will welcome such a move by Adobe, there is no innate right to some kind of 'protected space' for open source projects that purposefully aim to provide an open implementation of a closed source product. Obviously one of the risks of embarking on such a project is that the original may one day be open sourced.
It's good I guess, to state a goal and start working on it.

However, up until 2039, any legislative session can modify, change, even repeal such a goal, is that correct?

Yes, as has happened elsewhere in the world, we have elected a government based on fear, FUD, protectionism and anti-immigration.

I don't support us sitting on a throne of riches, leaving the rest of the world to deal with the problems, though. This is of course my personal belief, but I also think not doing it this way is shortsighted and will leave everyone, including us, worse of in the long run.
> I really wish popular open source projects would just stick to IRC as it just works and doesn't require any proprietary client

IRC isn't a credible alternative for most users in 2017. It stagnated ages ago, which is obvious from problems like the fact that you can't even write a multi-line message.

My personal opinion is that Slack has been so successful primarily because nothing older than it (IRC, Campfire, HipChat) was a decently modern product by the time Slack launched and Slack was really good at marketing.

Personally, I'm trying to solve the problem of open source projects increasingly moving to Slack by working on Zulip, the leading open source alternative to Slack by contributor activity. Here's our story for why one should prefer Zulip to Slack for fellow open source projects (written a few days ago; feedback welcome!): https://zulipchat.com/for/open-source/

I agree for deadly genetic disorders, but we can't be sure if a harmful mutation will be important in the future. For example sickle-cell disease make people immune to malaria.

What if in the future a pandemic rises, and we have "edited away" the only mutation that would give immunity?
And is mosaicism inherently bad or harmful? Some people have more than one genome and don't even know about it...

Many of the worst disorders are lack of function mutations where mosaicism would indeed fix it.

I would be more worried about unwanted edits than missing ones.
I don't see how this is a barrier for anyone who could contribute to OpenBSD (or any other OS). OS source code complexity isn't in maintaining branches, moving files and managing dozens of dependencies - it's about improving the code and not jinxing stuff in the process.

Not sure about your tax laws but here it's usually best to borrow 100% and chuck your cash on your primary residence mortgage first ideally via offset then the rest offsetting the investment loan.

In that sense it may make sense to spend the money upgrading the primary residence and pull equity out for the deposit on the investment so there is a 100+% loan to maximise tax deductions. That's if you are aiming for capital growth and can stomach the lack of cashflow of course.
I am wondering the same.
