> OpenVPN can do both routed and bridged connections on macOS without kernel modules (using a tun/tap device, as it does on other Unixish platforms).

But macOS doesn't have a tun/tap device. It needs kernel drivers to create one.

In either case, my main gripe is with Cisco AnyConnect, not OpenVPN. Cisco AnyConnect is very popular, I haven'd had any client use OpenVPN, though many do use IPsec.

Note to the author: your social news app on heroku is overwhelmed by spam.
the problem is that humans are really bad at generating random noise. you'd need an automated solution that makes sure you are generating unformly random data.
> good parents...have a system in place to catch these mistakes before they become incredibly serious.

I don't think it's possible to come up with all possible bad things that could happen and have a process in place before they happen. Some level of reactivity is necessary. In some cases, one mistake is too much. Not having foreseen that one mistake doesn't make someone a bad parent, because it's human to make mistakes.
Electronic voting is fine (WITH a paper trail)

You just need regulation to prevent the abysmal idiocy of manufacturers

Also standardize the interface (ADA compliant, etc)

Hire the Nevada Gaming Commission to regulate it and so be it. Make the machine print a paper backup that is put on a ballot box as well

No. I'm still allowed to comment aren't I? You are able to read my comments aren't you?

This one was alway wierd to me. Other countries always manage to count the votes in one night, and while the USA is very big, you'd think there would be that many more people counting the ballots available to make up for it. I guess it doesn't scale that easily.

True, but transcompiling hasn't been a very commonly used term for that so it's not an obvious term to use. For example, the early C++ compiler that targeted C was not referred to as a transcompiler. Nor was the popular f2c fortran-to-c compiler.
I think it is jealousy, not rules or company contracts that make bosses sue their employees. I say that because at one of my previous job, founder actively encouraged side projects and entrepreneurship.

But that company still end up shutting down side projects of two of its employees.

One was a simple site that documented company's API and had a few sample code snippets. It got popular. The guy running it even received recognition on company's newsletter. Next thing I know is that company forced the guy to handover site and domain to them. Apparently, he worked on it during work hours. He said he never did but who knows.

Then another guy's completely unrelated app got shut down due to same reasons. But the guy claims he never even opened app on his personal cell phone while on company property. Everyone in the company had some sort of app but this app got popular & profitable. Jealousy set in. One of his teammate claimed he saw the guys working on the app. He was forced to handover the code. Then company did nothing with the app and removed it from marketplace.
Rumor is that he has another app but he tells no one about it.

I believe same thing happens in big companies. AFAIK, they don't hire any team to monitor web to make sure their employees haven't released anything on their own. But someone who works with an employee learns about a successful app, gets jelous and tip legal department.

Lesson is even if your company is pro side projects, don't tell anyone about it. Humans are jealous creatures and they will find a way to hurt your project.

No, as made clear by the concluding paragraphs, it's dedicated to painting a vague picture of Mexicans’ attitudes toward time to support a thesis about the transformative effect immersion in that cultures attitudes on the subject can have on tightly-woubd British people (the author in particular, but by extension his intended audience.)

As a lifelong athlete the on-your-toes style of barefoot running is the best way to run. If you cannot run on your toes you are not built to run. There are rare heel-running sportspeople but running is not their competitive strength. Over long distances it is easy to fall back on heel-running out of laziness, because the impact is absorbed more by joints and less by tired muscles, but that is a failure of fitness and a sub-optimal style.

Barefoot vs shoes is more of a personal choice. A cushioned heel can permit bad style by reducing pain, whereas barefoot forces proper technique or else breaks your feet. However proper technique once you have it doesn't depend on footwear.

If they have good points, yeah. Grading ideas based on the source is a good way to stay ignorant.
> is there anyone left who doesn't tell everyone how they voted?

Of course; there are people who live with family members who are very vocal about The Right Way To Vote; there are people who live in parts of the country that are the same way; and there are people who work for employers who they don't see eye-to-eye with politically.

Imagine living in a devout Catholic household, and voting for a pro-abortion candidate. Or working for a gas fracking company, where every other employee has a gun rack on their truck, and voting for the gun-control candidate.

If the Hulk Hogan fiasco was anything, it forced publications to rethink their god-like superpowers when it comes to people's reputations.
You're arguing that from a realpolitik perspective, it may be more profitable for them to do the wrong thing and then spend money on PR.

What I'm saying is that that's the problem and what we should be doing is devising ways to thwart that outcome instead of forgiving them just because their betrayal was expected to be profitable.

I'm in the same boat. I have a serious analysis paralysis when it comes to figuring out what my next laptop will be (assuming the MBP keeps hardware specs relatively similar). I just don't know how to find a good laptop model that will definitely run trouble free with a Linux distro.

I really like OS X because of the *nix like OS with a high level of 'just works'. I absolutely won't go back to Windows, my workflow is so far beyond it- so what're my best resources for finding a high spec laptop that will be compatible with a modern Linux distro?

I've got Windows 7 and Mint running on an old Lenovo T430 (pretty sure it's a 430) and Ubuntu 16.10 on my old 2009 MBP after Apple stopped shipping OS updates for it.

Excluding the fact they're on old hardware, I still don't think they 'just work' enough. Power save, WiFi, graphics drivers, fan control, all things that took a LOT of fiddling. Don't really love Ubuntu's desktop either.

I'm not making a joke but this is a valid point. And if it had ELMON (Elm object notation), things would be more straight forward.
I am also talking about American libertarianism, i.e. what's discussed on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarianism.

I don't see any mainstream source that equates libertarianism with the far right - indeed, the far right (like the far left) embraces governmental authority over individuals, which libertarianism expressly rejects.
Just because a law is stupid, or one you disagree with, doesn't make it any less of a law.
That's an entirely separate issue, and one to be filed under "problems we'd love to have to deal with". Fairly sure it's lower on the priority list than "heat death of the universe", which we'd also need to deal with.
This happens at the university I go to: wearing shorts is against the rules (being written up enough times for it can get you expelled) but no one cares because it's the students (RAs) that enforce it.

So when people are mad at each other (or someone just likes wielding their power) other people end up hurt. "It's not enforced" is a terrible excuse for bad laws.

Not that I like shorts, they're pretty ugly.

As a developer who makes a living charging for apps, it's wonderful that you can't simply sideload apps like with Android.
For an average JS developer Elm is totally alien tech compare to React or Angular

To turn your argument the other way.
The JS landscape, where "trendy" libraries change every few months, is also alien to anyone that doesn't keep with the latest libraries every few months. Is that not worse?
I don't have to explain "JS fatigue", it's a fact.

For example, I just got into a new team, and I have to now use what they use.
I've been doing JS for 4+ years, and that stack I'm facing now, is alien and confusing to me.
I have to invest time and learn what the hell those redux-sagas are, or what "magic" create-react-app tools hide, and in general, it's very confusing so far.

With Elm, I spent a few weeks 1 year ago to learn the language, and that was it.
All the libraries are very simple to use because of the language.
I doubt that learning "redux-sagas" will help me a year from now.

Also, Elm, gives a very coherent package. You don't have to transpile or add a linter, or a type checker, or stitch new libraries every few months because the trend changed.
No webpack or babel or eslint or immutable.js or typescript or flow or any of those.

Not to go into the part of the safety and confidence the compiler gives you.
Typescript or flow are not even close to that quality and guarantee level.
Note that again you have to learn their syntax and configure them, so that's again a cost on top of learning JS. And they are as much alien as Elm.

FWIW, I start now side-projects in Elm, and I get things done way faster than with JS. And that's also what I see from other people as well, regardless of whether they come from JS or another language.
"Those tensions" are not gone.
I've also fallen into this trap, thinking that Apache wouldn't serve up any dotfiles. Wouldn't that be a saner default?

[...] Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof").

Here's what's wrong with Apple putting coders in an open office at Apple Park
As a developer I can't imagine buying anything other than a Macbook Pro, and I mainly use Windows.

The build quality is top of the line, the drivers are solid, and everything just works. The trackpad is industry leading, and the keyboard is great too. Performance is exceptional, especially in the 15" which comes with a HQ processor (not ultrabook-grade) and a discrete graphics card. It has a PCI-e SSD. The price is reasonable compared to the competition.

But despite being IMO the best laptop available, the main reason I choose them is because every so often I need to boot into OSX for testing, or to do something Mac-only. And nothing else can do that.

What are some of the benefits of e-voting that make up for the possible shortcomings?

From my perspective, e-voting is more difficult for the blind/disabled, more difficult to audit and check (you'd need to be a programmer that is well versed in cryptography to even begin to audit a codebase), much harder to verify/validate your own vote was even cast, much less reliable, and overall is confusing and harder to use.

The only benefit I can see is making it easier to vote for those working or who aren't able to get to a precinct. But that's a problem I'd much rather have solved by making it a mandatory holiday and providing state-paid-for transportation on election days.
The kind of people who would make this argument generally have authoritarian tendencies and wouldn't approve so wholeheartedly of your examples.
But is there any advantage to e-voting?

Assuming that we can achieve exactly equal security to paper voting for a moment, what have we achieved other than adding another few layers of middlemen and cost?

To those curious what it does, Object.create(Array) creates an object with the Array constructor function (not the Array prototype) as its prototype. The Array constructor function, like all functions, has a length property indicating the number of arguments it takes. That property is accessed through the created object's prototype chain.

The Array constructor's length property is defined to be 1, referring to the fact that if you call it with 1 number, you get an array of that length filled with undefineds. If you call it with something else or another number of arguments, you get an array filled with the arguments.
These functions do not perform IO, they return IO actions that can be further composed. They are invoked from other functions that also return IO actions, again no IO is actually performed until the top-level final composite action is run by the runtime.

All composition of IO actions is performed with full referential transparency and adherence to the Wikipedia definition.

I don't follow the logic here. Gawker was brought down via the Hogan case, which was financed by Thiel.

Do you believe the Hogan case was an illegitimate suit? If not, why does it matter who financed it? I find the fact that it requires huge funds to win a case much more troubling, personally. If the suit itself is legitimate, then him winning is a good thing.

If you take exception to Thiel financing Hogan's case, why? Hogan very likely would not have been able to afford the case without the financing, meaning justice wouldn't have been served because he was not rich enough.
