So it becomes a matter of whether or not you can achieve good coverage of your execution paths to account for all possible filesystem touches? Further invocations of "cde" with respect to the same "cde-package" folder will actually append to the "cde-root" file system copy so if you could manage to canvas your program's execution paths then the resulting file tree copy should be sufficient?
Global, mutable state is not necessarily a bad thing, it just needs to be managed very carefully (like through a database!) so all your mutations are routed through a single source of truth.

This is obviously wrong: even accepting the premise of Thompson's paper, the popping of the bubble is blamed on what you've referred to but the mania (the inflated asset prices) existed for a very long time prior to that. In retrospect, the method of popping the bubble is really the least interesting part of that whole phenomenon (it's a given that those prices were going to crash) although I'm sure the people who experienced it did not feel that way.

There are patterns around this. For example, persistent data structures and application patterns such as event sourcing. Design concepts like bounded contexts and microservices also count.

I think at a larger scale it becomes much harder to try and transform the system around immutable state. At the end of the day if most one needs to do is store CRUD items the easiest way forward is persist schema to a DB.
I'm pretty torn on this. My immediate instinct is that it's yet another attempt to lock down the internet with "think of the children" histrionics. But if the investigator's report on Backpage.com is accurate--if they knowingly facilitated child sex slavery and then tried to cover it up--then it's genuinely fucked up that they can't be prosecuted for it. I'm also bothered by this quote:

> “We would support a specific amendment that would allow victims to sue for civil penalties in court to seek some form of redress for the horrible things that have happened to them,” said Slater, whose group represents tech giants such as Google, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter and Netflix.

Civil penalties are not sufficient for slavers. If the allegations are true, these people need to be in prison.

Edit: Please read my response below before downvoting. Backpage didn't block child-sex ads, they concealed and protected them, allegedly.

That’s a great point!

We completely agree that anyone making product decisions should spend a considerable amount of time listening and seeking customer feedback but we see ScopeAI as a tool that can make that process more efficient and accurate. Using algorithms for mining trends can prevent product decisions from being made with biases like Recency Effect[0] for example.

We also think ScopeAI can customer feedback more transparent and accessible to people across the company - this becomes more and more of an issue as companies scale and ticket volumes becomes unmanageable for people to manually sift through. For example it’s a lot harder for a CEO to read all customer service tickets if they receive 100 an hour!

>...It's after Nixon "war on drugs" stance that we begin to see harsher and harsher penalties for possession, criminalisation of usage

I don't know about other countries but the real push for harsher penalties in the US came in the 1980s after basketball star Len Bias died of cocaine overdose:

>...It became the sole focus of legislative activity for the remainder of the session on both sides of the aisle. Literally every committee, from the Committee on Agriculture to the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries were somehow getting involved. Suddenly, the Len Bias case was the driving force behind every piece of legislation. Members of Congress were setting up hearings about the drug problem and every subcommittee chairman was looking to get a piece of the action

http://www.salon.com/2011/06/19/len_bias_cocaine_tragedy_sti...

>...(and this still applies here in Sweden, it's not only illegal to buy, sell or possess drugs but also to take them, if it's detected in a urine or blood test [mandatory tests if you are caught by the police] you have committed an offense)

This sounds like an internal issue in Sweden - I am not really sure how much you can blame the US for this. Certainly other countries near Sweden have more reasonable drug policies and the US doesn't try and stop that or punish the countries that I know of.

>...and then the Convention on Psychotropic Substances happened in 1971, very influenced by the US and UK stances on drugs.

The 1971 wasn't the first treaty on drugs. For example, the International Opium Convention that adopted restrictions on the opium poppy's psychoactive derivatives was in 1912.

According to wikipedia:

>...The Convention on Psychotropic Substances of 1971 is a United Nations treaty designed to control psychoactive drugs such as amphetamine-type stimulants, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, and psychedelics signed in Vienna, Austria on 21 February 1971. The Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961 did not ban the many newly-discovered psychotropics,[1] since its scope was limited to drugs with cannabis, coca, and opium-like effects.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_on_Psychotropic_Sub...

>...So as much as he tried to only "look tough", Nixon has fomented one of the worst problems in modern society,

I don't think that Nixon was the first politician who tried to look tough on drugs in the US (or in other countries). Anti-drug propaganda has been produced since before "Reefer Madness" and politicians have been ranting about drugs for a long time. A difference really was that Nixon was one of the first to try to greatly expand drug treatment and reform sentencing at least in a small way:

>...the mandatory minimum sentence in a federal prison for marijuana possession was 2-10 years until Nixon slashed it to 1 year with a judicial option to waive even that sentence. No federal mandatory drug sentence would be rolled back again for 40 years (in the Obama Administration).

I'm 37 and being working as a coder since 21. I still need to apply to job ads and go through the tests. Not all have whiteboard but most have a puzzle. I don't begrudge 2 hours which is the usual time, but I'd probably reject whole day tests.

It seems odd to me that we've settled on the weirdly euphemistic "trafficking" to describe slavery. It sounds like a marketing word intended to take the sting out of a distasteful concept, which I don't think is anyone's intention.

A database is only global and mutable if any part of your code can create it. If you isolate the database access to one module and then force other modules to interact with it through instances of that module in a controlled way - it's not global (but certainly mutable).

The same goes to your filesystem, the key thing is: global as global access vs. global as "there is one of it". The same goes for the singleton pattern (which are terrible) vs. just having one of something.
Keeping prostitution illegal is what makes human trafficking so profitable. Trying to heap on penalties and restricting free speech is a fools errand, it does little to nothing to help the victims. Instead we should be empowering them and treating them like real people who can actually call the police and expect help, not prosecution.
Are the DMV records public in many states? It seems like you could feed a corpus of video into a license plate scanning algorithm and lookup make/model from DMV records, if available.

Surely we can acknowledge that control is not binary? There was no control that said "don't turn this on by default" or a control that lets me set the specific parameters of cookie sharing.

The essence of neutrality concerns is the absence of control. Whether an ISP allows you to turn off the on-by-default traffic shaping or whether a device lets you turn off the on-by-default cookie restrictions is not the concern. It's whether these go-betweens make decisions for us, such as cookie sharing parameters, video downsampling, etc.

Octopuses Are Building Underwater ‘Cities’
From the article:

"It’s common knowledge in psychometric circles that reading comprehension tests are statistically equivalent to IQ tests"

I'm not sure why the author throws this out there, then ignores it. English proficiency is tightly correlated with SES in the US, and one of the historical criticisms of IQ testing is that it mostly tests your ability to understand the questions on the test rather than underlying cognitive capability.

As a result, any conclusions about an IQ gap may be attributable to an education gap, which I doubt very many people would deny exists.

> I'm trying to understand why it's so important to some people to add this bit of context.

For me, context is important. For example, killing is bad. Killing someone in the process of shooting up a school or subway is less bad. I believe deeply in diversity, and I am also to keep more than one concept in my mind at the same time--America's evil, and that of others.

> to somehow lessen the wrongness of what was done by Americans.

If you mean to include my comment, I find your observation bizarre and revealing. Bizarre because you can't read my mind, and revealing because apparently you think you can. My wording about America was pretty strong. I honestly couldn't think of a more appropriate and accurate description. How would you phrase it?

The issue is provisioning the network interface, not any manner of packing the code.
> As this is a user configurable option, it's hardly a net neutrality issue.

That's what makes it not a net neutrality issue? To continue the analogy, if my ISP decides to limit traffic from some non-paying upstream provider, but makes it a user configurable option, it's also hardly a net neutrality issue? So I haven't lost any control over what I can access because the option exists, right?

Net neutrality is a two-way street, not just about users. This one is just more favorable to most of us because we like the result. Same way with Google's safe browsing lists and other things. But we can't pretend there's neutrality here like there would be if the browser was completely hands off. Sure it may not be "net neutrality" as defined by only network providers, but the concept of neutrality spans more than the network.

> Actually it's rather apt given that there are more Facebook users (2B) than Catholics (1.2B).

I apologize for sounding like a jerk, but have you ever read a history book? The impact of the Catholic church on human history completely eclipses Facebook's entire existence, the comparison is completely absurd. Comparing Facebook's monthly active users to the global population of Catholics is like comparing the total number of World of Warcraft subscribers to the total number of active duty U.S. soldiers; the difference in numbers is categorically meaningless.

> The reality is that Facebook has a disturbing amount of influence on what a quarter of the worlds population see and hear on any given day.

I don't really think it does. As I stated, the majority of people use Facebook for pretty standard social behavior like photo-sharing, messaging and comments. People go to Facebook because they can see what's going on with their friends and family or they subscribe to content providers that they already like and explicitly hide content they don't want to see. Don't misunderstand, this isn't to say that Facebook couldn't potentially abuse it's power for the purpose of spreading propaganda, but the reality is that this isn't really happening because people don't look to Facebook to form their opinions, they look to the echo chambers that Facebook allows them to curate at their own discretion. Facebook is a mirror of their users and that is by design because Facebook only care about eyeballs. Of course, whenever Facebook filters or deletes something people get up in arms and complain about censorship and blah blah blah, but 99% of the time this is just sour grapes from the community that favored the removed content.
