> HTTP is not a closed protocol.

I'm not arguing it is, it's an extension that adds specific semantics to accomplish a specific purpose.

But some developers look at WebDAV and see a lot of similarity with some of the application specific error conditions they are working with and decide that overloading HTTP status codes is a good idea, when it rarely is.

This is obviously unethical. That it might not be illegal is our failing. They provide false solutions to a fear that they themselves create.

What's next? Giving every child a free phone on their 13th birthday? They already "gifted" the world's poorest with free internet. It's easiest to abuse those who have the least power to fight back.

I recently tried to log into their mobile, javascript-less site, and in order to let me continue to log in they required a photo of my face and my phone number.

I've had to submit photos for online financial services/compliance, but not a social network that is tied into all kinds of other data.

And that's what they asked because I wasn't running javascript. It raised my concerns about what they do when I do have javascript enabled on their services. And I work in a company that collects data from its clients -- but nowhere near their scale.

This was a bad idea when the app was standalone—a no-name Israeli startup snooping into all your traffic—and now it's spyware. This is one major (if not THE) reason not to trust small startups with unclear privacy policies—they are often bought in order to (ab)use the data they have collected and continue abusing it from unsuspecting users. Terrible.
You already know the answer to this.
Having been around for the creation of Unicode, there were plenty of people who argued that 16 bits was insufficient for encoding all the characters and fought for the competing ISO standard which was 32 bits. A final compromise made Unicode a subset of ISO-10646 and now the two character sets are synchronized and act as parallel standards. UTF-8/16/32 were part of things from the beginning not because of the 16-bit assumption behind Unicode 1.0, but for the sake of keeping data reasonably sized. UTF-8 allows for 7-bit ascii files (which were the majority of text files back in the day) to be compliant without change and kept the default size of text files from being doubled or quadrupled in an era in which that was a serious concern for both bandwidth (dial-up connections at 2400baud or lower were quite common) and storage (20MB was considered a HUGE amount of storage).
The new Twin Peaks has been confusing me by prominently displaying several different computer/phone brands. I'm not sure whether they've somehow taken on multiple sponsors for the same kind of thing, which seems unusual, or Lynch is trying to make some sort of statement.

> Was this an indication of the experience and initiative of his commanders and non-coms? So Caesar might decide on the overall approach, make sure all his commanders knew what that was, and let them figure out how best to achieve that based on the situation.

This interestingly largely didn't seem to be the case. By Africa most of Caesar's experienced legions (who campaigned with him during the Gallic Wars and the first half of the Civil War) weren't with him (he campaigned mostly with Pompey's newly raised legions out of Greece). His commanders were either new or of questionable skill. In particular, his most capable commander during the Gallic Wars, Labienus, defected to the Pompey early in the Civil War, and was one of Caesar's chief opponents during his African campaign.

As an interesting note, it seems Labienus likely defected from Caesar for two reasons:

1. At the beginning of the Civil War it looked extremely unlikely Caesar would win.

2. Labienus felt as though Caesar took more credit than he ought to have in the Gallic Wars, depriving him of his "auctoritas" (sort of prestige) he felt he rightfully deserved.

Caesar's skilled defeat of Pompey and Labienus show his military skill outside of his use of good commanders.
There are some very rich people out there deciding to move their money into tech. I wonder what's prompting that decision.

Random theories:

1. Big Oil is done. Battery prices have hit the tipping point and all cars will soon be electric. The traditional car companies are risky too, at least until the disruption ends and we can see who'll survive.

2. Banks haven't fixed anything, so the smart money is avoiding them.

3. They see no growth in consumer retail now that the cheap Chinese goods boom is over.
> Contrast the Mongolians celebration of their imperial glory with western guilt about imperialism.

The mongols didn't exterminate the people they conquered and settle the land with mongols.

> Why is one OK and the other not?

For the same reason why nazi germany was exceptionally evil.

The mongols weren't good. They were empire builders. But they didn't set out to exterminate people.

The difference between western imperialism and mongol imperialism is that russians, chinese, koreans, turks, central asians, arabs, persians, siberians, etc still exist.

Now compare that to what happened to the native americas, inuits, aborigines, etc.

If you want good error reporting from grammars then you really need to implement a FAILGOAL in the grammar. For example:

There is also a very helpful grammar tracer and debugger when developing a grammar:

use Grammar::Tracer;

or

use Grammar::Debugger;

.NET Core is open-source and runs on Linux. C# is a fantastic language, .NET is a great framework.

It is rare everywhere. Even in the west.

We celebrate george washington and have statues, schools, etc named after racist slavers and genocidal murderers.

> It was also amazing how most of the Western students would agree that Western imperialism was horrible but never argue against glorification of other cultures horrible wars.

Really? You think most of us think western imperialism was horrible? We may give lip service to it, but we celebrate our heritage. From ancient greece to rome to the british empire to now our american empire, we celebrate our conquests and victories.

The standard trope amongst the british is that the british empire brought civilization and democracy to most of the world. Our justification for the american empire is that we bring "freedom" to the world.

A comment on the WSJ brings up an interesting point—if Zuckerberg were to run for president, would he have access to this information? What else could he have access to?

Given the amount of data Facebook has about everybody, I find that possibility worrisome. It seems obvious that a campaign strategist could segment individual states, regions and cities. They could target people based on likes and interests. They could get very granular with messaging—advertisers can do this through Facebook right now.

But what other information could be used that advertisers don't have access to? Application usage, website visits, WhatsApp message keywords?

How dangerous supplements get to stores
The 2gig TeXLive installation is quite an elephant. I often wish that I could just pick what I really needed; but that requires me to understand the dependency of those packages and suspect the end solution may point to re-engineer the whole thing. Yesterday I independently had this resolution that I shall experiment using plain TeX + my own meta-layer macros and see how far I could go.

The font installation and selection is something I wish to have a GUI interface as simple as a word drop-down. Maybe I should find/or make such simple tool (ideally it should load the .tex file and provide WYSIWYG interface).

The edit-compile-debug cycle is the simple way of dealing with complexity. The text form (markup or code) decomposes the complexity into abstract parts that we can focus on one part a time and the feedback loop provides a progressive path to perfection. I believe at some point, programming skill should be as common just as literacy today, at which point this edit-compile-debug cycle will be accepted just as we learn to accept a book without pictures.
There are many reasons why the soldiers could be saved and why the Germans did stop the panzers. The weather, the Belgians were fighting the Germans, the French were defending Dunkirk while the British could sneak away, the Luftwaffe did mainly bomb the harbor not the beaches, there were many heroic acts from many people, e.g. Commander Coulston, courageous civilians on ferries, Hitler still admired Britain and hoped for peace with the empire, tanks and people were under extreme stress for days, the Battle of Arras, the main drive and interest of Germany was Paris not Dunkirk - so they moved tanks and Ju87 towards Paris, the Germans - as many British - thought evacuation was not possible, Goering thought he could prevent evacuation with the Luftwaffe, and many more.

This is the principal agent problem in private, illiquid companies.

There are issues with founders, employees and VCs, where each invest in "the company" with an expectation of different payoff schedules, and each is not at all looking out for the best interests of the others.

So this is really a fight for the high ground - who gets to set payoff schedules: the founder, or the VC? Who gets to set strategic direction? And who's just along for the ride? [Note that the employee is not really in the running here, and that since they aren't allowed to set any rules, they should be as ruthless in extracting value (pay, career development & benefits) from companies as VCs and founders would be in extracting & securing their payoffs.]

In the end, these people aren't your friends, and any friendliness is simply another form of currency, which they can chose to invalidate at any time. Like Benchmark Bucks.

Some APIs I've seen just use 400 for all generic client-side errors, including request syntax errors, impossible requests, duplicate requests, etc.

I would argue that most of the time, for any sufficiently large application, you'll need to use application specific status codes anyway (as you said), so why bother trying to be specific with the HTTP error codes? Certain client-side applications parse out if the response is a 2xx, 3xx, 4xx, or 5xx, and log it differently. At which point you just need one of them to trigger the different logging behavior.

The only special case I can think of is 401, which you need to send to trigger the basic authentication pop-up window for most browsers.
The slowdown in MSlug2 was basically a bug. The game is "supposed" to slow down in some situations, but not as much as it does in the original.
I'm not saying it isn't useful - I'm saying it's not interesting (and I'm talking about the act of parsing, not the algorithms as applied elsewhere). Think about this: you start learning compilers, you spend months on parsing, and after that what do you have? Nothing - you "compiled" stuff into an AST. Yawn.
I think people would benefit a lot from learning just elementary evolutionary game theory. I think it really helps understand some of the mechanics of society (e.g. international politics).

Perhaps it could be even interesting to say, high schoolers, as it doesn't really need much formal mathematics, but still implicitly teaches some analytical skills.

Except the cells used for procreation are also part of the cell line, and do require "debugged molecular pathways" (nature doesn't debug, nature makes things recover from errors, though not always in ways you'd like)

This reason for death does not really make sense. Only the connections between cells get reset. The cell line has to continue, with the potentially problematic molecular pathways (look at all the mitochondrial DNA syndromes).

In fact, if you think about it, there is a continuous cell line between that skinflake you just shed and the very first time DNA started replicating on this planet.

Warning! If you're middle-aged and thinking of picking up the guitar, you should realize that the public image of guitarists has shifted from "sexy gods" to "annoying hobos" sometime in the last two decades. If you are at least partly motivated by popularity (and who isn't), maybe pick another hobby that actually helps people be popular now, not in your imagined past. So in a sense, yes, it is sometimes too late :-(
