I'm going to take a swing at your argument from a different angle, so follow along for a second. How do you define an immigrant?

The reason why I bring this up is because I've often seen people embracing laws or actions targeting immigrants, but isn't this in effect the same slippery slope as attempting to define extremism when we talk about free speech? Especially as immigration law is often expanded over time, encroaching on the rights of 'citizen' (a term which is also eroded over time) as we define a secondary class of people of which your typical rights do not apply to.

If we want to play the definition game, the exact definition of the word 'immigrant' depends entirely on the ruling class, ergo makes laws affecting immigrants equally as likely to cause the slippery slope effect as laws that affect extremists.
What's the point of having a freemium model if people can't actually use your service as intended to see what benefits a full version will provide? If I'm trying to open a file on my phone and the app won't let me log in, my reaction isn't going to be "guess I should pay to upgrade" but rather to hit uninstall.
"For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem."

It's in the back of my head, when I feel the need to switch, I can easily copy all my files over. So not really worried about being locked-in with Apple.
Extremism was spreading long before the internet. We literally had a cold war to try to stop the spread of communism not to mention there are countless examples in history where the populace was swayed by extremism. The nazis didn't have internet but they were perfectly capable of getting people lined up for war. It's definitely not the technology, they will find any method they need to spread their message.
Yes. It's that easy. Sometimes it's already done by a dev. Say in GitLab the CI is pretty good about never revealing env. variables to you once you set them, however devs for debugging purposes will do something like echo $SECRET_PASSWORD and the output will be in the job.
Hah, good luck enforcing that. Besides, most people that wanted to already saw the video and read the manifesto because they had proxies setup to get access to US video streaming catalogs.

they did what many other companies do. Use the freemium model to gain users and publicity, then try to reduce costs and convert free users to premium by destroying the free tier.

I definitely agree. I totally understand that they use it. And hell with the amount of demographic information advertisers give, I'd wager you could target down to the individual for your message. I just don't think censorship is the way. If anything you just run them into more private circles where potential recruits won't readily see the other side of the argument.

Not having seen said playground, I can only wonder as to the specifics of the dangerous tools. I presume they were kid-versions, e.g. no 2lb claw hammers or razor sharp 16" rip saws.
Certainly, like child porn, watching snuff movies was already illegal in NZ before the alt-right terrorist attack, all the NZ censor did was confirm that the snuff movie fell under that category, it was essentially born illegal. No one passed any special new laws to make it so.

It also falls under the US supreme court test for obscenity and is equally illegal in the US
>So you don't get the "oh you lose" social cue [on twitter]

You don't get the silent downvoting that occurs on sites like reddit, but you do get overt disagreement which can go viral and result in consequences in real life such as being fired and harassed. Added to that, twitter is very proactive in banning people. My point is that the absence of one form of feedback does not preclude the use of other kinds.
The article mentions Duff's Device. And yes it works.
Nope. Dropbox never. ever. shuts up about me being out of space, emails me constantlyand displays Windows alerts whenever I log on. I have over a GB of space left on my account. Dropbox support says that's just how their system works so I'm off to Onedrive.

i was surprised too. here's where i looked it up: https://www.census.gov/construction/chars/completed.html (specifically the metro data).

not having looked into it further, i'm guessing that most new (SFR) housing starts are at the margins of the metro area, not in/near the center.
Hehe, indeed "he's after my leather" means he's after me/my skin, in German (jemandem an's Leder wollen).

A Scheuerlappen, "rag cloth" like a burlap, might be out of leather, though usually of rather coarser material. Just saying so because yurt (from mongolic) reminds of shirt, skirt and Schürze, in rhyme. However the r implies another root, "to cut", same as for Geschir "cutlery, dishes; harness [of horses]; vessel" (though zurren, zerren "to strap, stretch" might be akin, also see zieren, too).

I don't think your notion is implausible, but we have the words tent and Zelt already, and howmany more. housing in that sense, as something movable, could be paradox for a immobilia, but who knows.

While "to hide, conceal" might explain the connection reasonably (note that hide~leather is related closer to Haut than hiding), that would have to be the connection to rule out all others, but it's not that simple. Many \ske- roots relate to "to cut", and in my mind many figurative idioms can be derived from that sense to explain this or that. On the other hand, s-mobile may be treated as a prefix, and, assuming the prefix was sek- originally (i.e. "off"?), then we are left with a load of short stems -et, -es, .... Which reminds of some Akkadian words, and the question about who invented the se-dentry life style.

Will this work for you? I guess most likely not, and you really cannot afford any kind of delay, where even a C++ virtual call would be considered a bug, given the 1ms delay.

The point being that only a very tiny population has such requirements, just like barely anyone writes applications 100% fully in Assembly.

Carbon taxes aren't artificial barriers. There are real costs to emitting carbon. Putting a price on negative externalities helps align incentives properly so the people making the coal plant have to consider the full costs of their actions.
Huawei is a proxy for the Chinese government so the question is moot.

China is indeed mainly focused internally, but there's no limit to how far they'll go in support of those ends. China attacked Google, Yahoo, Adobe, many others, using a zero-day IE exploit.

Of course they'll use your laptop as part of a botnet, C&C proxy, ransomware vector, etc. There's no benefit of the doubt remaining.
I didn't realise that most of the sexy weasels would be dead. :(
All countries need to push tech, but how long can they make the surge last? All populations are rapidly aging and they'll have no choice but to innovate and use their scarce human capital to engineer. If China doesn't do the 996 schedule or worse like Japan's, the smart people may go home enough to maybe have kids.

Because you insist on the gap, your lane is 5mph slower than the other lane (because people pull in front of you after passing). Assume the other lane is doing 50 (65 mph speed limit, but there is congestion).

That lowers the throughput (number of cars that complete a trip in your lane) by ~ 10%. Also, the faster lane is now probably moving closer to your speed behind you than the 50mph you observe (because you are causing cars going 45mph to cut off cars going 50mph that lane).

The arrival rate of cars won’t change because you chose to go slow. So, if the road can handle 10,000 cars per unit time with normal congestion, it can now handle ~ 9000. That means per unit time, there are 1000 new cars sitting in the stop and go backlog that you single handedly created by creating the gap.

This has been shown time and time by traffic simulations. It only takes a small handful of slow drivers to create massive backups.

Also, the number of traffic fatalities is proportional to the difference in speed between the fastest and slowest car, so, statistically speaking, by being the slowest car, you are murdering people.
These were probably the visual memes of their age and seem to have survived primarily because their patrons were able to pay for them to be immortalized.
Kids have a respect for responsibility, but they also test limits and are still developing their sense of risk & consequences. So IMO it's the parent's job to permit reasonable risk & educate the kid, and permit further, greater risk as they prove themselves.

History is absolutely full of young people who did not survive due to but a moment's inattention or foolishness.
It's fun how easy it is to program in higher dimensional spaces and how hard it is to think in them. Mathematical formalism is a superpower!
I think there might be some devs who can do everything, but given that nobody has ever been tested on everything how do they know - at best you know that you have never yet been unable to meet a challenge and considering some challenges you have had you can estimate how long it should take to complete similar ones.

I think some of this falls into the category of obvious risk versus hidden risk. When I was a kid, I was playing in the park with some other kids who were dropping through the bars of a dome-shaped jungle gym. I tried to follow, dropped through, and found myself hanging by my head, which had gotten wedged in the bars. I dangled there writhing around until my dad lifted me out about 10 seconds later. I had giant welts on the front and back of my head, and tore all the connective tissue in my forehead, I could wrinkle it up like a Klingon for years afterward. I think that particular jungle gym was removed after that.
iCloud Drive is supported on Windows (although client quality is far below competitors like OneDrive) and a web client is available for Linux (which is in line with competitors).
I guess so, but I don't know why that matters.
I've worked on a cross-platform product that deal with files on disk. I completely understand why they limit to certain filesystems and why that list is different per OS. I briefly tested out a setup where we tried to share an external drive between Linux and Windows...I think it was formatted ext3. We needed symlinks to work and that was a no-go in Windows on anything but NTFS and the inverse wouldn't work with Linux. I've also had to deal with subtle user/permission differences when moving drives between computers depending on the partition.

It seems like a situation where 95% of your users are covered by supporting a few partition types and a significant amount of time would be spent trying to do anythings more.

It is unfortunate they dropped exFAT support.

A previous version of this story didn't explain that the proximity to uranium ore described was unlikely to cause health problems, and it referred to uranium instead of uranium ore.
D structs have destructors, for example.

Dealing with borrow checker on cases that are still being worked on (NLL 2, GUI callbacks), using unsafe for graphs or dealing with use-after-free array indexes for the alternative workaround, unsafe Drop implementations, doesn't look hassle free to me.
I didn't dig into the implementation details but the term para-hvm came to mind, not quite para virtual but not quite full hvm. Perhaps if security is a real issue then HVM is the only real choice.
I don't think this really applies here. The commenter isn't saying "why would anyone use Dropbox when they could just roll their own with these open source tools", they're saying "this product is a good option for those who are specifically looking for an open source alternative".
No. Scientists didn't create the full biochemical environment in which a genome's meaning is evoked.
Of course you should! They’re talking about adding something like 500 new stores in the states they’re already in and another 1500 in the bordering states. The really good deals are going to get spread around more and your local store is going to get less good stuff and more crap (assuming they can find enough crap to stock the shelves). Or they’ll have to raise the price on everything.
Reference counting is a GC algorithm, as per CS curriculum.
W2 tax rate is the WORST in the country because regulations make it costly for both, employee and employer. At least as a contractor you can write things off fairly.
I think the better framing is the amount of fraud, abuse, and second hand criminal activity this person enabled. His violations of the regulations allowed criminals to piggyback off of that and get away with crimes more easily.
Over the last 5 years I have transitioned to an entirely plant-based diet and can't imagine ever going back. My entire life experience has changed dramatically in the form of mental clarity, sustained energy, and absence of cravings.

Sugar simply disappeared from my life and I haven't looked back, although it took a while for that to happen. Likewise, I eat cooked meals twice a week at most.

Most of my meals consist of raw food like vegetables, fruit, nuts and seeds. I supplement things like flaxseed oil for omega fatty acids, and rely on plants such as wheatgrass, moringa leaf and turmeric for micronutrients.

Hemp protein has been one of my recent favorites, literal jet fuel for your body!
I wonder if paywall bypass tools will one day be treated as burglary tools.

If I understand it correctly, it doesn't. That's why they're called stackless threads. Variables local to the stack frame lose their state, so any internal state needs to be stored in a global.
What did the clock say to the metronome?
Interesting tidbit. I was not aware of the difference
Unequivocally yes! I'm 47 this year and can't imagine a career more fun.

I quit a corporate job to start my own company to be able to spend more time building software. I do note differences between my 20 year old self and my 47 year old self in how I build products.

When I was younger, I was more inclined to fall in love with the tools (languages, OSes, editors, IDEs etc...) These days, I focus on shipping product more than the code and tools themselves. I do spend a lot of time customising my tools, but the objective is to make myself and the team more efficient, not learn everything there is to know about the technology. Although I do spend dedicated time researching specific technology areas. Particularly those that are of competitive interest.

Also, since I control the schedule and the products feature set, I can be more rational about deadlines and calibrate them to outside market pressures. So while the problems that the OP mentions: trawling through vast APIs etc... are definitely things I have to do, I have more control over when and how I do that sort of thing. That makes programming less stressful and a lot more fun.

My coding primarily involves creating the initial prototype to prove a concept, designing the high level architecture of the app and then handing over the APIs for detailed implementation and review to my team. This seems to work well for us.

But as an owner of a small business, I also have to do the other things that 'suits' do: Strategy, marketing, sales, hiring (and sadly firing) and managing. And some things that neither programmers nor managers do: running odd jobs, and making coffee for the team. Fortunately for me, I actually like doing these things (except the odd jobs part), so it doesn't seem like a huge burden.

Having the opportunity to code at 50 is a wonderful thing.
Thank you, that was a helpful answer.

I’ve independently had the same question. There are a lot of assumptions in our contemporary cannon that are unchecked (afaik, but open to being told I don’t know what I’m talking about since this is by no means my area of expertise).

It may even be the case that this isn’t possible to know, at least given the evidence at hand. Theories should simply take note of this ambiguity, by qualifying with “if X is the case, that means theory Y is true”

Ok I'm in Denmark, so also in the EU - can it really be that in our socialist paradise playgrounds are more dangerous and less boring than in the US?

I can't remember the playgrounds from the US very well anymore but thinking about it yeah most places I went to were pretty cookie cutter, but I'm also old so I think the boring part is maybe not directly correlated with safety.

Here is a company that makes playgrounds in Denmark http://monstrum.dk/en/ I have several of them in my area. I just wonder if there is really less of a focus on safety in Denmark of all places. And if so, why?

When used as these directories will eventually be in sync it works great. When the user expects something to sync this second with visual confirmation it does not. In fact syncing too frequently automatically would be nice for the ui but bad for battery life on mobile.

Maybe it just needs a connect and sync now button for users to hammer.
At some point it involved violence. It's one of those things where he provided a service that did not follow the regulations that were in part placed there to prevent crime. His violations of these regulations allow other criminals to piggyback off of him by using his services. Spammers, VPNs, and other services which criminals can use - especially with forged IP address ranges - to commit crimes. He is a middle man, and by not following regulations, he assisted all of those crimes.

Consider craigslist, they are protected by safe harbor laws because they comply with regulations and laws, even though criminal activity passes over their servers, it's a level that is deemed acceptable by society for the service they provide (given they are well regulated). When laws like FOSTA/SESTA get passed and change those regulations, some services will shut down (because they are no longer complying).

Which is why he probably deserves a larger sentence (though others have pointed out the ridiculousness of the US sentencing system and I don't disagree).
No iOS version. All of the other alternatives integrate with the Files app and can be used in the file picker.
I kind of agree with you, but actually like that gVisor exists and is written in Go.

As it kind of proves a point about systems level software being written in Go.

I would rather see VM/unikernels take off instead.
