I have a lot of respect for Georgists and geolibertarians, unlike the much more common Randroids and propertarians (which one geolibertarian author quite rightly calls "royal libertarians" both because of where their wealth came from and the role they aspire to). The central Georgist/geolib idea of a land value tax has been tried quite a few times, generally with quite positive economic effects even before factoring in the moral effect of taxing rents instead of productive enterprise. The author's right that these ideas deserve more exposure than the melange of crappy fiction and crappier ideology that is Ayn Rand.
> The api is simple, with no surprises

There are surprises. Reactivity with child components, and how to deal with that - there's enough "this isn't what I was expecting" that I run in to a lot in the forums that it's certainly a "surprise" to many.
Depends on the kind of encryption used. If the encryption is convergent encryption, the hash ID stays.
Reference?
Absolutely. This even works at a somewhat lower level... I remember hearing an argument between two cow-orkers, and realizing that each was thinking different (but similar!) things, but assuming the other was thinking the same thing. Angriness ensued...
Nonsense. London is a net taxpayer for the UK [1], hence the periodical discussion of establishing an independent city state (which will not happen IMO). Instead of being jealous of London, the rest of the UK would be better off realising that London competes with other global cities and that the success of London benefits UK (but sadly instead they voted for Brexit) [1] https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/may/23/uk-budget-d...
> If, on the other hand, the output is meant to be developed further by hand, if the output is considered an equivalent and not lower representation, then it's a transpiler.

Which is also still a compiler.
This is why us Americans always use credit. So much protection.
I can't think of any reason to contradict that as a abstract description of a compiler, although the standard - Practical? - definition of a compiler is probably the more useful of the two.

Graph rewriting is probably a little bit niche, e.g. AFAIK most compilers don't describe what they do as graph rewriting. Perhaps because many compilers do a lot of their work on linear data structures (which are part of a larger graph) like Basic Blocks.
The correct order is hash then encrypt, exactly so you can't do that. Now I don't know if FileVault is doing this correctly, but hopefully it does.

Edit: So two people have downvoted me without explanation. Is what I'm saying wrong?
More or less; but I think the point is, that by denying the power-struggle dynamic and punishing people who talk about it, communist structures in fact amplify it.

So in a democracy, there's all that behind the scenes tussel, but there's also an important aspect of public advocacy and decision testing. None of that in China; the politburo says what it's going to say, and then does what it's going to do.
eventually turned into a cartel

It was always so. The medallion system was imposed after taxi drivers rioted, set stuff on fire and attacked the police, since they disliked the competition from unemployed people who tried to make a living during the Great Depression.

"Striking taxi drivers was nothing new–the first strike took place in 1908, a year after the first taxi company was founded. But this strike had a hostile energy to it, as strikers went hunting for scabs to punish. As one driver put it, “the bastids that was scabbin’, we pulled the doors off their cabs.” Independent cab owners, who had nothing to gain by striking, had their windows smashed by blocks of ice and passengers thrown from their cabs. Police who tried restore order had their tires slashed and marbles thrown under their horses. By February 5, angry crowds of driving were brawling in the street with the police and torching independent cab cars."

The claim that public transport investment is relatively even across the UK doesn't seem right. Anecdotally it has always seemed that London has had a lot more investment in infrastructure, and figures from the IPPR think-tank say that the spend is about £1,500 greater per capita in London compared to the rest of the country.

Is there any evidence to backup this claim within the article or have I misinterpreted?
Well, have you tried using Codementor or Hackhands? It's so horrible I think this will hardly be worse or even equal.
Yeah. And you know, as a casual audiophile, that's my big frustration with this hobby. There's so much bullshit marketing (and audiophiles who believe it) that it really gives the whole hobby a bad name. (On the bright side, there are a lot of objective audiophiles and with just a little bit of knowledge you can get fantastic sound for very little money...)

The label probably didn't give Green Day a huge amount of
money for production when they made Dookie, for example,
but it eventually sold 20 million copies and additional
production made sense.

I don't know about Dookie but their latter albums were recorded with full dynamic range and then squashed down into loudness-wars style mush.
When you reserve with Booking.com, they don't even charge your credit card. At least that's how it has been the last 100 times when I used them. How come it was different this time?
As you say, there's a virtuous cycle, a highly productive location can pay higher wages, that attracts more talent, which makes the companies more productive and more able to pay higher salaries.

But there's also a chicken and egg situation, in the sense that London became highly productive in the first place for a variety of reasons, not just the mechanism we're talking about. It has good access to talent simply because of its large population, with 2-3x the labour market of any other UK city. That population is also highly educated because of the effects of wider economic productivity. It also is a global financial centre, so has significant access to capital. And a major corporate centre, so has a lot of high paying clients for software.

The mechanism you're talking about is there, but ultimately you could make the same point for any city in the world. You surely could not make any town or city an amazing software centre just by all the companies doubling wages. The specific mechanisms for software productivity are various, and they rest on top of a general base level of wider economic productivity. If a city's going to be a major software centre it has to act on all fronts, specific and general.

So you get these kind of proposals like linking together Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield and Liverpool to try to create one labour market, which I think we all should support.
The reason it's gone up so much recently is that they just scaled it to handle more transactions. As other pointed out you can send an arbitrary amount whether it's 40 cents or 40 million dollars and it transfers quickly.

There's no holidays for the blockchain like banks have so you can send 24 hours a day, every day.
Some Googling finds http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-3rd-circuit/1853477.html , which says there's both an internal hard disk and an external hard disk, and the external one is the one at issue:

> The Forensic examination also disclosed that Doe had downloaded thousands of files known by their “hash” values to be child pornography.[3] The files, however, were not on the Mac Pro, but instead had been stored on the encrypted external hard drives. Accordingly, the files themselves could not be accessed.

If he's downloading them or storing them by some content-addressable system (torrents, something rsync-like that generates hashes before syncing them, etc.), I can easily believe that there's forensic evidence on the internal hard drive that the files were copied, including the hash of the plaintext, but the files themselves aren't present in plaintext.
I recently tried out vue.js on a projet as a replacement to d3's selection/data-binding magic. I have to say, I've been impressed.

1. The API surface is fairly small, especially compared to Angular. I could grok how it worked very fast.

2. The fact that it works without build tools is a godsend. My project is fairly small, and having as fast an iteration cycle is really nice.

3. The debug tools are awesome. EDIT: https://github.com/vuejs/vue-devtools

However, I do have a BIG problem: the fact that mutating the data automatically does a rerender is a nice idea, but in practice it falls apart very quickly and leads to fairly hard-to-debug bugs. For instance, if I add a new field to an object, it will not be detected as a change by Vue and not cause a rerender[0]. In my case, it broke the magic and caused me to look into how the heck did vue actually work - only to find out I had to call this.$forceUpdate() in a few places. It's terrible.

React, despite its problems, is nice because of exactly this : its data binding is entirely non-magical. You have to go through setState or force an update. The mental model is dead simple. I wish I could like vue more...

I think they are great for a person who is more interested in managing tech than making tech or using tech...and to be clear, I don't think there is anything wrong with being more interested in managing tech. I just think a person ought to be clear on the fork in the road they are taking.

Good luck.
The boundaries between lexers and parsers differ by the parser in question.

Grammar and syntax are also different, particularly with regards to XML based languages. Syntax are the rules which define the language while grammars are the conventions that define the context in which artifacts in a language instance are interpreted. Whether a language requires terminating semicolons or curly braces are syntax rules. Whether there is an object schema or namespace concern is a grammar issue.

Parsers commonly produce abstract syntax trees (AST), but can produce output in a variety of formats. I prefer parse tables personally. To say that a parser must produce as AST is rather short-sided and inexperienced.

While parsers typically rely upon lexers and compilers typically rely upon parsers there is no law proclaiming computation must occur in that flow. Lexers, parsers, and compilers are all separate steps that can act independently provided a sufficient configuration.
I think they're also looking for other files, whose hashes they don't have forensic evidence of, to secure a stronger conviction (e.g., they might suspect him of producing child pornography and not just downloading it, and so they're looking for files whose hashes they don't already know).
I think the mantra is 'do it until you get sued and then do it a little longer'
Just a nitpick, but you can use JSX in vuejs : https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/render-function.html#JSX
Shudder. I remember looking st this 15 years ago, and it's a cruel joke. I understand why writing in C made multilingual bindings easy, but the ergonomics of GObject are horrible. You're stuck doing all the crap that real OO type system does, setting up vtables and what not. Most insulting, they dismiss(ed) all complaints as mere "syntactic sugar".

Ironically, I liked GTk+ back when I was doing that kind of stuff.

> I certainly hope that there are not many programmers thinking "if it compiles, it's correct" after having made their first logic error, though I realize some Haskell programmers make statements that are close to that.

No, the Haskell slogan is "If it compiles it works". "It works" is something quite different to "it is correct".

My experience is somewhat similar. I dual boot Antergos and Windows 10 on my Thinkpad X230. I find Windows 10 to be almost as fast and zippy as Linux now. I understand all the hate it gets regarding privacy concerns and being a closed system. But if you are ready to put up with them, it is a fine operating system. I see a huge improvement in Windows 10 when it comes to stability and performance issues.
Easy! Develop software. Don't limit yourself to scripts and small utilities. Work on something substantial, preferably low-level and closely related to the operating system or hardware. If you play CTF, show me the tooling you wrote to prepare, and the process you use to review your past performance and plan your next game. Our biggest ask during our hiring process is a code sample of some kind. If you're talking about finding bugs, show me that you didn't just get lucky, that you know how to make the process reliably produce a known outcome.

Sidenote, I think the dev job for ~2 years out of college then moving to security is a smart move. You're 100x more effective as a security engineer if you have a strong background in development. I'll say that we definitely prefer to hire software developers and teach them security.
Yeah I also find that hard to believe, crossrail alone is more investment other cities would get combined.

There's a better article in Ars:

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/03/man-jailed-indef...

From that article:

> The court also noted that the authorities "found [on the Mac Book Pro] one image depicting a pubescent girl in a sexually suggestive position and logs that suggested the user had visited groups with titles common in child exploitation." They also said the man's sister had "reported" that her brother showed her hundreds of pictures and videos of child pornography. All of this, according to the appeals court, meant that the lower court lawfully ordered Rawls to unlock the drives.

And then this from Rawls' public defender:

> "The fact remains that the government has not brought charges," Donoghue said in a telephone interview. "Our client has now been in custody for almost 18 months based on his assertion of his Fifth Amendment right against compelled self-incrimination."

There are numerous quotes from Comey and many others in the FBI and DOJ who have argued that forced decryption is necessary to catch the bad guys. But here the argument is the exact opposite: the evidence they have is so overwhelming that it is a "foregone conclusion" that more of the same incriminating evidence is on the encrypted drive.
According to https://hub.docker.com/_/debian/ at least the debian base images should be reproducible, although I have not tried it...
GObject always felt like a poor man's Objective-C to me.

It's a shame that the language was so completely sidetracked in '90s open source Unix development. I suspect part of the blame goes to GNUstep's ambitious overreach. Maybe if they had just focused on an Obj-C widget toolkit instead of building an entire NeXT look-a-like desktop, it would have been more palatable to the wider community.
It sounds like they suspect the files were downloaded directly to the external drive, perhaps there's a pointer in a log file or something with the path. Clearly they haven't proven that, hence their wish to inspect the decrypted drive.

IMHO, if they really wanted to charge him and take him to trial, they have plenty of evidence. I doubt a jury would be sympathetic to the "I forgot my password" argument and the logic would be that if the files _were not_ on the external drive then he would willingly decrypt it to prove as much.
I think you end up needing macros even in statically typed languages to make it convenient. Even the nanopass framework uses macros to define the different representations.

That's terrible news. I was undergrad there in mid 2000s, and perceived that some, but not all, of these issues had improved. Being a man, and less attentive to the issues at the time, it doesn't surprise me that I missed it. It could also be that the undergrad experience is better than the research staff experience.

Is there anything on the list that has improved?

Could you explain more about where your feelings come from?
I feel like this is a self-fulfilling prophecy though.

If they never make serious investments anywhere else, then nowhere else can develop the kind of economy that allows London to perform this well.
I like Chilie's approach to visa fees: they charge you whatever your country charges Chileans. So it's something like €100 if you are German and €1200+ if you are from the UK :D
For this company at this time the business case is not convincing. Find another idea. Maybe collaborate harder as it is developed by talking to potential users first. Find out what their problems are according to them.

There are several misconceptions in this comment, first and foremost that SHA is encryption, which it is not. It is a hashing algorithm, not unlike MD5, though "stronger".

Secondly, when you have two files that are exactly the same and encrypt both with the same key, method and parameters then both will have the same hash. ( Though I could imagine Apple doing stuff with padding, and other parameters to make this not happen)

I wonder what kind of retention there is. Is one day of class studying quantum computation going to be particularly useful to people when they study it 6 months or 2 years later?

I've lately studied a bit of program design when it comes to working out. A lot of effort goes into designing workout programs, making the programs efficient, trying to get the maximum results from the least amount of effort. There's a clear progression and a clear way of measuring progress. Every exercise, stretch, and movement is supposed to a particular function that best moves you toward your goal. Particular muscle sets are targeted at particular intensities for particular intervals on particular days. There's a reason for every specific decision that gets made.

You can contrast this with the aimless way a lot of people workout. They go to the gym, they do whatever exercises or work on whatever machines seem like a good idea to them at the moment, and hope it increases their fitness in some non-specific way. Lacking good metrics for measuring effectiveness, they often judge a workout by how sore it makes them the next day (an extremely poor way to measure effectiveness). It's not that this approach can't improve your health, it's just that it's extremely inefficient compared to the more goal orientated and progression based system.

In my experience most universities follow the aimless second approach - throwing what they can at the students, hoping some of it sticks, and judging the courses based on difficulty (this usually becomes even more obvious when professors explain their courses). I don't think I've come across any study measuring the effectiveness and metrics of different programs and progression paths.

No these are no the citi sponsored rent a bikes. They are (seemingly) tourist focused rentals, with a large street presence and in one case I tracked down renting or owning large retail units one street down from central park (hence my "cannot work oit the economics" - I mean renting a retail space a stones throw from Central Park as a bike storage place, seems a stretch for any profit)
My understanding is that they know the file hashes and path they were written to from logs of the tool he used to download them.

Universities usually have pretty good rules around this sort of thing, minimally that the paper has to acknowledge its funding sources. The amount of $$ Google spends, however, pales in comparison to what is going on in the drug industry, where millions of dollars go into funding research on drug safety and efficacy. However, that's not even news anymore, it's so rampant.
Hey, Walter! Lovely to hear from you.

I did a little work in NewtonScript for the shipping Newton before I migrated to NeXT. It worked. Or it would have, if Newton had been a better fit for the market of the time.
