Really, they aren't stealing an identity at all, they are simply stealing information about you. Saying that someone stole your identity because they know non-secret information about you is about as sensible as saying that someone stole your body when they stole a picture of you. If a bank accepts someone showing a picture of you as proof that they are you, they are simply being an idiot.

For me it's just fine that cargo doesn't support every odd use case of of the box in exchange for supporting the majority of use cases with virtually no effort. CMake hardly supports anything without a bunch of scripting--this includes reproducible builds, unit testing, etc.

The BSD/GPL question is independent of the free software / open source term.

Both the OSI and the FSF accept GPL and BSD-style licenses. So both GPL and BSD code is free software and open source software.

The frictionlessdata landing page has very generalized verbiage so here's my technical summary of it...

The main idea for "container" or "package" hinges on a file called "datapackage.json"[1].

An analogy would be the "sfv" files like "checksums.sfv" for verifying the integrity of files. Since so many people use "sfv" as a defacto standard, many programs exist to scan it and verify the associated files. Another analogy would be DTD for XML files.

Similarly, if everybody could converge on the file "datapackage.json" as a metadata & schema description standard, a useful ecosystem of utilities and libraries for processing data would take advantage of it.

One example library would be: https://github.com/frictionlessdata/datapackage-py

(In the Python source code for "package.py"[2], Ctrl+F search for "datapackage.json" to see how it looks for that particular file.)

With a data wrangling API like that, one could then do joins on csv files directly[3] and write the results to another csv file with the associated "datapackage.json".

Instead of passing "dumb" csv or raw json files around, add a little "intelligence" to the dataset by way of "datapackage.json" so tools can parse the schema and process csv/json at a higher abstraction level. That leads to more "effortless" and "frictionless" data interoperability.

What I can't tell so far is if "datapackage.json" already has momentum of adoption across many communities such as Julia, Tensorflow, Hadoop, etc. and we need to get on the bandwagon -- or -- adoption is still in its infancy and there are other competing data "container/package" specifications to look at.

I'm not the most careful person with my camera gear. All my bodies and lenses have taken some blows here and there from, as i said, doorways, people, brick wall corners etc, flew through the car once, i just never let it slid from my hands on the ground or something.

Typical i have a shoulder or wrist strap, ads (no im not affiliated) peakdesigns' or blackrapids' straps and wrist bands

If any reading this still use the neckband with their cams, checkout black rapids systems or peak designs. It's so much more comfortable then 2+ kg dangling from your neck.

That's not an either-or question. It could very plausibly be both. More people in a room means more potential for infections.

Who is going to talk about draconian surveillance, secret courts, secret orders, gag orders and government officials empowered to violate your dignity and privacy by searching your phone and personal effects. Why is Snowden still in Russia? Are we to pretend all this is not happening?

All this is left to the EFF. This is a kind of denial and posturing - oh look how bad they are while looking the other way at the growing authoritarianism at home.

Not even talking about the current censorship of alternative voices by Google, Facebook and others in support of mainstream media like the nyt with completely opaque and non transparent standards and lending credence to shadowy groups like propornot.

> I actually mean the approach where you explicitly pick a "sort" implementation that would yield a linear-time smallest-element when evaluated lazily

Agreed. It's quite painful to see Haskell advocates sharing this example. It's far too clever and lacks robustness. It's a cute triviality, not an example of what the language is actually good for.

> I don't know if a popular sort with this property exists

Well yes, Haskell's sort function has this property. It's a merge sort.

> If you want the smallest element, get the smallest element by scanning the list. No big deal.

Yes, or just use the built in min function.

> I have seen way too many advocating that makes it seem like this vague idea of "safety by type-safety" is the only issue that comes up in software development.

It's a shame you seen too many advocating that, because that's not all that Haskell's good for. It's also good for

Furthermore, those who would demand obedience because they lack substance aren't living a life either. That is, if living a life was sitting on a porch, they're in the swamps running from their past, without even knowing a porch exists.

It's a really shitty thing to be dragged into the swamp by someone who is lost in it. But to acknowledge it's just this shitty thing, nothing more, like cancer or falling down the stairs, that just hurt and diminished you for no good reason and for no real good outcome, which kept you from what is rightfully yours -- yourself -- that is step one. It's painful and can be paralyzingly scary, yet if people could see how scarier what they're regressing into is, how it's just a dead end filled with pain, in comparison to the soundness waiting beyond that small scary threshold, they'd take it in a heartbeat.

Unfortunately, my first reaction to someone wanting to "sell" me abuse or obedience is anger. But it really should be compassion.. obedient and authoritarian people deserve better. Abused and abusive people deserve better. FWIW I didn't think much of China when I wrote this; people break in the same dozens of ways all over the world and all through history it seems. But compassion and giving it just one inch are still orthogonal, you have to balance between the feelings of those who are fucked up, and those they would hurt by virtue of being so.
Yeah, I see it now. But then it ceases to be an issue of direct competition between high end cameras and smartphones and becomes an issue of shrinking economies of scale and scope e.g. raw material orders become smaller and lose previous supplier discounts and crappy camera designs which were "subproducts" of better designs are no longer feasible and thus all the cost falls on high-end designs instead of being split among several models.
Check it when you use it?
In C and C++ you have to treat everything as unsafe, because you have neither a GC nor a compiler to help tell you when you have accidentally violated some memory management invariant that some API was depending on. Rust's type system gives you the tools to define those safe APIs and have them checked by the compiler, even if you need to do some unsafe shenanigans under the hood.
People are complaining about Flash? I've got quite a few stories from doing integration work with refrigeration systems. Mind you, most of these systems are meant to be used daily by the staff at ordinary grocery stores.

- One vendor requires a leaky JRE 1.5 to run their configuration tool, originally written for Windows CE around 2007. You need to keep it inside a VM and disable automatic Java updates.

- A newer system from the same company requires Flash. Most customers opt for the Java based one, because the newer system is unsuitable for anything but the smallest sites (frozen foods melting at high bus and CPU loads).

- The web GUI on another company's product wants a browser Java plugin that accepts unsigned certs.

- The web GUI on a third company's product requires the user to accept unsigned certs, even though these systems are never exposed to the internet (RFC 1918 and certificates are inherently incompatible). The GUI is a stateful JSP frameset hell.

- Yet another company that no longer makes refrigeration systems requires DOS-based software. Luckily its volume ID based copy protection does not work under Windows XP.

All is good when it's working well, but when something's not right... well, you really wish that you had that monitoring.

The truth is that most load balancing solutions are capable of handling _a lot_ of traffic, way way more than the majority of the people need. So performance is not a huge concern, typically.

However, if you are at the level where it does actually matter and want to use nginx, chances are, you'll have no problem paying for the premium version.
Not only the money stream part, but if a big company pulls out of the EU, then they leave a big hole for someone else to fill. And you've just created a competitor who has a market base that you are choosing to not compete it.

e.g. if Facebook pulled out (unlikely), then someone can just make a new Facebook site (we already know what functionality to copy), and then suddenly Facebook has a competitor.

Fox News, when they report objectively factual accounts of world events, isn't "fake news". Breathlessly repeating irrelevant stories against the current political grain on Fox News? Still not fake news. Biased, sure. Selectively edited. But not fake. Reporting a rumor or an outright fiction in the form of an objectively factual account of a world event? That's fake.

There is zero reason for the issue to be political. Either it's falsified on purpose and with an intent to deceive the consumer (a'la "Fake Gucci Purse") or it's not.

Interesting that you write "any programmer worth their salt" has to have the aid of "sublime text style search".

Having had to maintain and rebuild other programmers' monstrosities of monolithic functions, I appreciate short code routines and relevant comments, especially those that detail why the code is written that way. I then don't have to spend enormous amounts of time trying to understand the thought processes that went into making that code.

If you are worth your "salt", you will write clear code and when it needs to be "tricky", you detail "the why" that you needed to do this.

Different people have different standards as to what is clear code and often, this is dependent on the idiomatic usage within the language in question.

A real simple example for you to ponder:

if a < b & b < c & c < d & d <= e then { do something}

compare with

if a < b < c < d <= e then { do something }

In this particular case, the first is how many programmers would write the condition, whereas the second is idiomatically more correct. The second is also, in this instance directly self documenting.

Of course, how you will do this in your favourite language will be different.
Sadly, not much seems to be happening on that front:

At the very least I'd want something to override ctrl+tab tab switching order (by most recently used instead of tab order in tab bar), and a popup showing the tabs in that order.

> If they copy the data to a 3rd party in America (i.e. sell the data a marketing company, for "research" purposes), then the EU can't really go after the marketing company.

No, but they can go after the original company who transfered the data. Remember, under EU law, companies don't own that personal data. It's not theirs to give away.

Null is not really the most pertinent example in this context - at least you get a segfault. What is more important is that in C or C++ (even C++17), it is trivially easy to produce buffer overruns, use after frees, dangling pointers, invalidated iterators, data races etc. That is the unsafety that we are talking about here. Opt-in nullability via Option<T> is nice to have though.

Not to get into the weeds too much here, but a completed suicide has a lot to do with the speed/effectiveness of the tool in question. Almost nothing is as fast/effective for this as a gun. Plus, suicide is frequently attempted impulsively, during a time of emotional crisis, so adding logistical barriers is a very effective reduction technique.

Elastic deformation is reversible with a release of the driving force, plastic deformation isn't.

Typical metals will have an elastic zone, where they act like springs, and a plastic zone, where they don't, and then they fracture. Brittle materials have a relatively small plastic zone, ductile materials will have a large one.

IllegalAccessError while working on inheritance – Why?
The Arca Swiss mount isn't even among the best quick-release plate systems, when it comes down to it. You could argue for a long plate back in the days when lenses were mostly unit-focus and the CG would shift; these days with just about everything being internal focus, a fully-captured plate is an immensely better solution than a dovetail plate (hopefully) captured with clamping pressure in one dimension.

As for the GP' complaint about plastics, it just shows that there's no experience there with minor dents requiring major repairs that would have been harmless bounces with a filled polycarbonate. Probably never dealt much with focus shifts or lens element alignment problems in severe heat or cold either. They use appropriate plastics on the pro-grade stuff where they use it because it's better, not because it's cheaper.
