I started using eclipse... already 15 years ago ? I never liked it, but at those times there weren’t much alternative beside vim dreamweaver... as ColdFusion :) moved to Java it looked promising but the horrible UI, the random errors, and its slowness were so frustrating.

From the article :

> Eclipse 3.x was a fast, native looking IDE

What?? :)
Holy schmolies, yes. And if you use them as your access keys for, say, a webservice, people aren't really going to be able to fish around the same way they can if you use auto-increment integers.

If your url looks like https://awesomeunicorn.com/userProfile/123, it's pretty obvious that I could start poking around and trying to get user 122 or 124. If that url is https://awesomeunicorn.com/userProfile/123456-dead-beef-abba..., I don't really have any idea what the ID of the next user might be.
The weird thing is Stripe have invested in Monzo, a bank.
I actually like that you can go after people financing terrorism or making huge amounts of cash from illegal drugs, gambling, smuggling and the like. Without money laundering regulations, and within cryptocurrencies, that would be a lot harder.

People dealing in significant amounts of cryptocurrency will eventually have to be regulated in some way, also.
I managed to log in, but the system is pretty barebones.

Trying to change or apply for a new banking product just takes you to a help page saying the ability to do this is 'Coming soon'. (Some other features are scheduled to be available by the 'End of April', for comparison.)

Also, in the 'pending transactions' popdown, e.g. £38.60 is displayed as '38.6'...

Property rights are highly conditional, and certainly not as absolute as many would wish. Surface rights and subsurface rights exist, water flows have conditions, and so on. I would be surprised if you can set your own price for restitution in eminent domain either. The gap between $360k and $30m stands out in that regard. Doubtless he can afford good legals to argue the price up.

You are of course right regarding the easement issue, and I had misread the writeups assuming they had an easement he was seeking to sunder, not seeking an easement for a seventy year access which it turns out was fee'd and so conditional.

In many jurisdictions, seventy years alone would have knocked this out: as few as ten can secure adverse possession, public right of way in the UK is established by twenty years continuity of access (with defenses such as closing it off one day a year) and Scotland has instances of crofters rights which lay dormant but reawoke unexpectedly.

Maybe you're happy to be reductionist on this being invasion of his property. I've been the beneficiary of public rights to access, and I do value them more highly than simple property rights. This is not some trivium of argument around anyone's home being walked through, it's a property which he bought with a road and facilities already there, and a long period of continuous access he chose to break for his own private benefit.

If he always intended alienation of access or if he just changed his mind, he interfered with communal benefits. That's pretty shitty behaviour legal or not.

right the temperature on the back side would be higher than on current craft, but the backside would be able to radiate heat no?

alternative idea:

the solid aborbs heat (cools the shield) to melt, then absorbs heat to warm up and boil, and the boiling gas is used as retro-firing rockets, any decrease in momentum due to the retro-rockets is less future heat absorbed (since the craft is slowing down faster)

You can go after people laundering money through cryptocurrency, of course.

The part I'm protesting (in this thread, at least) is the part where the regulations on banks and payment processors are so onerous that they refuse to work with legitimate businesses.
On a first look money laundering by itself doesn't seem to hurt anyone very much except for the state. But of course it is used as a vehicle. Those putting in the effort needed to go through a money laundering process, you may ask yourself: why are they doing all this? My guess is that human trafficking and other terrible stuff is realized with this, so I think there is a point making it difficult - up to the point of "blocking innovation" - when it comes to opening a market place.

> This is one of the reasons I'm a big fan of cryptocurrency.

> Your service would not have been shut down by the payment

> processor if you were able to handle the money yourself

> without relying on a third party.

Yeah but this is also the ethical problem of cryptocurrency. Most people agree that money by itself has something bad attached to it, at some level it encourages people to do evil stuff. If you now look at cryptocurrencies, this is even worse! We complain that most major banks partake in speculation with food. But we completely ignore that with these currencies far worse stuff is possible without going through the process of money laundering, the state is completely not involved.

This is a crazy double-standard if you consider that many hackers consider themselves having a much higher ethics than any other business person.
Ummm... contextually: this is incorrect for a bread baker.

You can totally bake bread without a recipe, and adjust while you go. You can check breads before they're done and let them bake longer. Maintain a rough 1:2:4 ratio of starter:water:flour, adjust hydration/process for the kinds of flour you use, and you can bake 'whatever' and have it be very tasty.

Bread making goes back stupid long in human history. 5,000 years of fermented breadmaking... Until very recently breadmaking was just a skill you learned from someone else who could do it, baked entirely by estimation, and transmitted that knowledge orally. Grandmas buns call for "enough" flour. The pros tell you to reserve flour/water until things look "right".

For other kinds of baking I don't really agree either... it's more about ratios and observation, though. If your batter is too thin you absolutely add more flour -- you just can't ignore the other agents in the bake. Temp and size will affect cooking times, but you can change those while baking. You check cakes to see if they're done before taking them out. You lower temps if you see edges darkening too quickly...

I mean, if you burn the outside of veggies they tend to be ruined too, and cooks use experience and trial & error to navigate the difference in the same way bakers do.

Hmm...if we're doing "capitalism somewhere else" and "reaping the benefits", do tell me how come German companies are beating US companies left and right in the marketplace?

It's the US that can't compete, as shown by the amazing trade deficits that have been in place since the 80s, and in fact, the rest of the world is subsidizing this deficit.

US wealth is, to a large extent, borrowed wealth.
Yes. People rewriting history is always an issue no matter what the gain. Should we let Germany erase the holocaust if they donate sufficiently large sums to charity? Should we forget about the human rights issues in North Korea just so we can label the current situation peaceful, and pretend they do not exist?
I always find it astounding when a gun advocate goes to great lengths to list means other than guns for committing mass murder. Why would any American, having been ministered in the ways of the gun via American gun culture/religion, select IEDs from drones, knives, or trucks to do the deed? Guns, especially rifles, are superbly optimized killing machines. Any suggestion otherwise is a pure and simple diversion from reality & truth.

You cite the European Charlie Hebdo attack (where 12 people died) as 'one of the worst gun massacres in recent history' yet reveal your blind spot of the much more recent (American) Las Vegas Mandalay Bay shooting on 10/01/2017 where 58 were killed and a staggering 500+ were injured -- while attending a concert on the Vegas strip! This attack, from a 32nd floor hotel suite, truly stunned America in ways that have yet to be fathomed. Its just that these gun attacks keep coming and stealing away our attention. Witness the Sutherland Springs, TX church shooting where 27 people were killed, and then Parkland which has gained even more attention. And yet, American gun culture and politics will not permit even a Congressional debate for outlawing bump stocks, which to a large part, contributed to the loss of life at the Las Vegas shooting. No -- all you get are thoughts, prayers, a monument and don't forget the hospital bill on your way out.
What makes you think this to be the case? This is what copy does (cp source_file destination_file, abbreviated):

22674 stat64("destination_file", 0xbfad201c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
22674 stat64("source_file", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1418, ...}) = 0
22674 stat64("destination_file", 0xbfad1e18) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
22674 openat(AT_FDCWD, "source_file", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
22674 fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1418, ...}) = 0
22674 openat(AT_FDCWD, "destination_file", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE, 0644) = 4
22674 fstat64(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
22674 fadvise64_64(3, 0, 0, POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL) = 0
22674 mmap2(NULL, 139264, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb7f94000
22674 read(3, "file contents go here..."..., 131072) = 1418
22674 write(4, "file contents go here..."..., 1418) = 1418
22674 read(3, "", 131072) = 0
22674 close(4) = 0
22674 close(3) = 0

It doesn't do anything specific with any inodes, it just opens a file for reading (openat(AT_FDCWD, "source_file", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3) and one for writing (openat(AT_FDCWD, "destination_file", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE, 0644) = 4), copies the content from source to destination and closes both files.

Running a trace on install (install source_file destination_file, abbreviated) shows exactly the same trace with the following additions:

22795 fsetxattr(4, "system.posix_acl_access", "\2\0\0\0\1\0\6\0\377\377\377\377\4\0\0\0\377\377\377\377 \0\0\0\377\377\377\377", 28, 0) = 0
...
22795 chmod("destination_file", 0755) = 0

The only difference between cp and install is that the latter sets access rights while the former leaves this up to the user (and umask).
All programmers make mistakes. I think the mark of good software design is using practices that make it impossible or much more difficult to make the mistakes that we know are going to be made at some point.

Much of our code review is not about "is this code correct" - that's obviously important, but rather "will this be easy to review changes to in the future" or "if I came back here in a year, would I get it wrong". I think that's just as valuable.

There's always a trade-off with complexity, and I'm not sure whether this one pays off, but designing _for_ programming errors is important for any team/company/product that is growing, and will introduce new developers who weren't around when the decisions were made.

What I think you fail to understand is that there are many, many native-English speakers who cannot write properly and have bad grammar and spelling. This is not just a non-native English speaker issue.

I think if the intent of the speaker is to answer a question and they can be understood reasonably well, but their English is not perfect, then we should give them some slack.
The fact that this is a criminal offense is what is right and truly fucked up.
I read something about the term “right” that I have yet to fully reconcile. For some rights, nothing is required of other people. E.g., freedom of speech, voting rights, even right to bear arms. Other rights require taking from others. Universal health, basic income, etc. requires taking money from some/all to give to others.

I dont know that the second is necessarily bad, but it is an interesting distinction. However, it may be a false distinction. Child care leave may not require taking from the employer so much as establish that if the employer wants an employee’s work, a fair trade includes leave.

Like I said, I haven’t fully thought this one through.
They shouldn't. But criminal penalties? Jail time? Are you kidding?

Phillips and some other known brands sell a wide spectrum of different LED bulbs these days. Some are way better than others. I am sure someone is making the 'best' but the better average is not as bad anymore IMO.
I think the point of the conversation is also to point out that if there is no fear of death, and population keeps growing, it is possible that quality of life of average humanity goes down.

Of course, multiple factors can contribute to that, including induced "laziness" in large sections of society due to infiniteness of life.

Regardless, I'm not China, and I'm not commenting on where the blame should be sheeted home; I am just commenting on the geopolitical instability of the whole Korean peninsula being dominated by a rival great power to China (the same is true if it were to be entirely dominated by rival powers to Japan, incidentally).

In the early classical world, epic poetry was how history was remembered. Epic poets would spend years memorising the stories and the tropes and improvising a performance on cue.

Some performances lasted for hours (there being no Internet to distract anyone.)

The tradition started changing when poetry started to be written and published - by hand, initially - and then, as you say, it changed again when the printing press made it easy to distribute.

But it's worth remembering that it's basically an oral performance art, not just something to be read.

Live, it's a completely different experience, and can be far more powerful.

Fermentation goes through four phases, roughly paraphrased into: wheatey, champagne, alcohol, vomit.

You're describing a starter that is too 'old'. Very 'young' starters have little flavour, and then get sweet and honey-like before getting souuuuuur. Personally I'd recommend just leaving it on the counter and going to a 24 hour or 12 hour feeding schedule.

Flavour: you can absolutely scrape the bad stuff off the top and feed the starter to keep it alive. But if you're going to bake, remember that you're blending out the original product... If you start with some 'alcohol' or 'vomit' and mix out half, bread made the next day will be 33% bad-stuff. You want to mix out for say a week or so to get back to mostly tastey happy stuff.

Also: not sure if this applies, but in general making a mature starter is a 5 week process from scratch. Bubbles in the first few days are generally bad bacteria dying in the container you're using... You can still bake with it, but keep going for a week and a half and see what kind of lovely smells start coming :)
In situations like this, lack of explicit denial is generally confirmation.

I don't have a cookie banner on my site. I decided I didn't need the cookies and I didn't need the tracking either.

The EU only creates a lot of waste and red tape if you want to ride close to the line, if you decide to go with the spirit of the law rather than the letter it actually reduces waste and red tape.

If you want to give a real example of waste then the VAT rules would come to mind, the cookie law was meant well but the majority of the web operators decided they were going to pass the burden on to the consumer instead of to actually take the hint. And if they had taken that hint the GDPR most likely wouldn't be here tomorrow.

Scary. I'm guessing but I think it will reverse. I bet you have some hot shot out there that is feeling full of himself and he is diving for it head first. They will get tired of him and start rolling it back.

If you get fed up with it here is one way to protest. Most fiber loops going around cities have a small wire in with the fiber. Just dig up the fiber or find an access point, cut it open and run a very high current high voltage pulse through it (not trivial, but doable) to melt or explode the wire and glass. You will of course be caught so get someone who is terminally ill or recently divorced to do it.

If you can't have internet, they can't have it either.

Also, if they totally cut it there are plenty of ham operators that will let us know whats going on and we can send some nuclear love your way.

This is why I don't like these phrases at all. The only politics I really follow are Austria and Switzerland.

In Switzerland 'the right' is very social oriented and partly for legal weed even. In Austria even the left uses phrases like 'immigrant issues' and discusses 'unleft' ways to solve it.

Most of the world doesn't have a 2 party system. So there is not such a strong distinction between the individual parties.

At the risk of descending to a column of words:

What we're talking about here is essentially epistemology. What is science, and what is its epistemic status?

My feeling is that to the extent that scientists are capable of coming up with good questions, they have cast off the baggage of unscientific and pre-scientific thought systems.

The problem is, it is not the case that a hypothesis is either good, or bad. Mendel proved that even with a very bad hypothesis, you can do very good science (he was a monk). A society of scientists who were incapable of coming up with good hypothesis, whose experiments always proved the null hypothesis - would not be too bad at science.

A society of scientists who were very bad at formulating, identifying, and outlining problems, on the other hand, would be very bad at science. They could devise experiments where neither the null, nor the alternative hypothesis, were of any value in regards to the world.

You can come up with any number of questions like this. The most famous one is probably, 'when did you stop beating your wife?' The most scientifically relevant one is the search for the philosophers stone. You can look through the history of science and see a ton of these questions - areas where vast amounts of effort were essentially wasted, where the only useful results were side effects.

They are universally marked by one trait: they attempt to solve questions that are obvious and important to a non-scientist, and, in terms that have a root outside of the sciences.

Really Interesting science problems are, on the other hand, almost invariably about topics that non-scientists wouldn't find interesting. Feymann spent years working on wobbling plates - and won a Nobel prize for the application of this research to particle physics!

So, if you find yourself trying to answer non-scientific questions in non-scientific terms, the question is, can your answer be scientific? You're essentially saying yes: enough research into the philosopher's stone would make the philosopher's stone science. I'm saying no: the only science that could come about from searching for the philosopher's stone would be an accident. The philosophers stone, unless it divested itself entirely from its non-scientific content (as in the case of energy, temperature, etc), will never be science.

PS: I think there's fairly obviously a conceptual distinction between the concept of power, as in, watts, and the concept of power, as in, Donald Trump. A similar distinction would be between 'vectors' and 'arrows'. I think such conflations are actually a major and frequently encountered obstacle to teaching. But you're welcome to disagree.

I think the real problem is the terse coding style. Why does the for loop always use "i"?

When I write code, I don't use "i" or other single-letter variable names. I write long names, like "currentItem", "currentMessage", "currentUser", etc. If I reference an object, I usually name it "thisItem", "thisMessage", "thisUser".

Compilers shrink executables, so it's not a size issue. I don't know why people want code to be shorter; I prefer it to be easy to read and debug.
