Good question - I doubt there is a complete formal definition of what 'classical' music is. I remember an analogous explanation of the "institutional" theory of art - as being whatever someone of the artworld offers for consideration as art[1]. Same for the subject of (generally regarded) aficionados of the modern "classical music"-world I would guess; or indeed, any genre.

I believe Minsky was his (now dead) friend. If something like this comes up for a good, deceased friend of yours, will you pick the side of an unknown to you girl over the person you knew and care about?

I'm not saying that's the correct side, but it's a human, emotional thing, rather than rational.

I am having trouble finding this news - all I see is this:

To the MIT community,

I am resigning effective immediately from my position in CSAIL at MIT. I am doing this due to pressure on MIT and me over a series of misunderstandings and mischaracterizations.

Is this somehow connected to his role as FSF president?

Britain’s seven covert wars: An Explainer
While some will think this is about a single recent event, Stallman has consistently said and done inapprotiate things for years. Most people I know who have spent extensive time with him say it has put them off working with the FSF, and he is the reason many people have resigned.

While he did start a great movement, at this point he hurts the FSF much more then he helps it.

(I'm on my phone, so won't put a huge list of references here, but such things aren't hard to find. For example, see https://mobile.twitter.com/mjg59 for a major open source contributor who has been discussing the problems with Stallman for years)

No, it's not. If you collect personal information of almost 150 million people, you have to take measures to protect that data.

I think it’s wrong to absolve Minsky of responsibility, though. He would have had to be pretty clueless to not at least wonder why all of these teenaged girls were hanging around Epstein’s place. Whether he knew doesn’t mean he did not still have sex with an underage girl. Claiming that he didn’t know she was underage seems shaky to me. At the very least he was taking advantage of a woman in the employ of Epstein who seduced/tried to seduce him. At the very least Minsky was involved in indirect, coerced sexual assault as the one having sex with her (if ended up doing so), even if Epstein is the mastermind. I think Minsky was smart enough to know what was happening. So that is why I disagree with RMS. I think calling it sexual assault done, perhaps unknowingly, by Minsky is an accurate description.

I always thought that the big problem for advertisers was who blocks ads. Adwords stopped being effective for me years ago, looking back I assume that's because I sell to a technical audience who are most likely to run adblockers.

I wonder if that applies to income as well, are people with higher purchasing power more likely to block ads. My gut feeling is yes.
I believe they were misled by the numerous reports by leading news sites who claimed he described the victims as willing in their headlines.
I assume that he would agree that the girl was victimized (as would I, obviously). Why argue vociferously for a position that everyone in the discussion already agrees with?
Just saying that the crazy content is still available so assessing the idea that speech is being limited and we are reaching a monoculture is testable against that yardstick. I'm not here to defend the quality or content of those extreme websites.

Advertising money has something to do with YouTube deplatforming people which is part of evaluating the idea that we are becoming a monoculture.

I think only the daily stormer is an example if you go anywhere you will be pulled down, including for. Controlling that stuff is the government's job, I would expect radical political sects to lose the fight to host a website. But if your idea is non political you're basically in the clear.
In the Massachusetts of MIT, Harvard, & Martha's Vineyard, the age of consent is 16.

So while coerced sex, or prostitution, remains illegal there no matter the age, mere consensual sex with a 16-17 year-old is NOT "statutory rape" in Massachusetts. Not in that "blue" state, nor the 30 other U.S. states with the same age-of-consent, nor in Canada. Sleazy for those much older, sure, but not the "statutory rape" you're claiming.
> [all consumers' discretionary income they'd be willing to spend] is likely a small fraction of the size of [all commercial companies' marketing budgets]

Assuming you meant all spending, this cannot be true, because all marketing budgets are paid out of people's spending. You are paying for advertisements, they are included in prices of goods and services you buy.
I think the statement in question is "The most plausible scenario is that she presented herself to him as entirely willing."

This statement isn't sensitive to the anger that people feel towards Epstein and thus Minsky, and the fact that Stallman has said it in this angry environment has caused quite a spectacle.

So in that sense, I think one might call it "spectacularly insensitive." On the other hand, I think that was the point. And I don't think that all public intellectuals should be required to be sensitive to the angry mobs at all times. I'd like someone to stand up to the mob, from time to time.

Understanding the Different Areas of Digital Currency Solutions
Programmers aren't baristas, broseph, and few if any baristas are as deeply on the spectrum as Stallman is. It's fundamentally ableist to hold everyone to a high standard of social functioning in order for them to be permitted to work. Especially if it's their life's work, at a nonprofit foundation they established.

If you were talking about Eich, he should be free as a private citizen to support the political causes he chooses to, even if those causes are disagreeable. He did not interfere with gay members of the Mozilla community, nor make his anti-gay-marriage contributions in a capacity of representing the Mozilla Foundation. He was literally as low-key about it as he could possibly be.
You really do need to be extra careful about what you write, because everything gets archived forever. You're not only being judged against today's norms and taboos but against the unknown taboos of years from now. Things that were once no big deal are career-ending today. Things that are no big deal today may be career-ending tomorrow. I have no idea what's going to be politically correct in 2039. Similarly, if some of the things I said and thought 20 years ago were documented and searchable, I'd never be able to get a job today. Society's standards shift, but its memory doesn't.

Your best bet is to only ever express entirely uncontroversial vanilla opinions and hope even that is still acceptable in the decades to come.
I am, no lie, quite concerned about the future of linux without someone really willing to be very stern (even cuss up a storm sometimes) about issues like pushing patches that break userspace or just quite bad code in general once linus is gone.

I'm fine with people telling him to stop being super harsh on the semi-reg, but there are actually gates that need kept in kernelland and one of the jobs of a gatekeeper is to tell people "no", sternly sometimes, and with explanation sometimes.

Agree. To learn all of this as a single developer is not an easy task either. These are real frontend, backend and devops languages, frameworks and tools. It takes time to learn.
The deposition is rather ambiguous about this, it says she was sent there but not whether she did or did not have sex with Minsky.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/14ZOEKwoBnDKUFI1hLbFJH5nsUFx...

RMS did a very stupid thing here, by attempting to defend his friend as though he had had sex with her he cemented that picture in the minds of whoever reads his (RMS's) screed without questioning whether or not the event took place in the first place. It is a pity that the deposition does not allow one to resolve this once and for all.

It speaks of her being directed to have sex with but fails to ask the follow up question (which I would think is very much material) of whether it actually happened in each of those cases. Pretty bad questioning.
While I admire your work and feel sympathy towards your wish. This naming got me confused. I wondered whether it's just the templated part of the standard lib or whole.

It's anecdotal but there certainly is a strong spirit of getting it right. I guess it's a characteristic of people working with it. In cpp details like that matter a lot.

I personally would feel more sympathy towards naming msvc implementation after your initials, then it could be even called STL library =D. Same effect with better motivation imho. Cheers.

Nerves overall has a much smaller portion of C nifs than 80%, probably < 10%. Mainly for properly trapping and cleaning up subprocesses. There’s some nifs too setup Linux specific sockets/ioctls. Still surprises me that almost every Linux kernel interface essentially overloads `ioctl`.

O_o

How did you manage to put these two statements in a single sentence implying positivity :)

Why do people choose to explicitly write unit tests over and over again for basic things which could be caught by a compiler?

People are losing so much productivity (both short and long term) and being deceived into not having the type system "stand on their way" while they're typing out the initial prototype.
This always bites back when you start first significant refactoring.

I will never understand the appeal of the dynamically typed language. Modern, statically typed languages with strong type systems, provide so much more productivity, reliability and confidence in the codebase that it is really irresponsible to ignore them nowadays.
Read: "most plausible in light of what I know personally about the character of the accused". Of course, Stallman could just be a poor judge of character and did not pick up on Minsky's flaws.

EDIT: to be clear, the italicized part is what I infer Stallman's intent was.
I don't understand it. Here is hn, where everyone knows that cybersecurity is 100% offence 0% defence. It is basically our job to secure systems and we all agree it is pretty much impossible, unless you airgap every computer in building and glue every USB port.

It's about a comment he made on the Minsky case.
Here's my boring technology.

I've built Libr (https://librapp.com), a full social networking platform designed to fill the void Tumblr left behind.

The hosting is serverless for both the front end assets and back end no servers to maintain and infinitely scalable.

Libr has a front end progressive web app built with VueJS hosted on S3 with CloudFlare in front.

The back end API is hosted on Lambda. By using serverless framework things are portable. I could easily migrate to another serverless provider or even host my own.

Both the front and back end use the same programming language, TypeScript.

The database is Elasticsearch, just like WordPress.com (they don't use MySQL for most things).

Each month, I receive a nice little invoice from AWS for under $1 for the hosting. So far CloudFlare is free for me.

I built everything by myself, with no team. I have had input from Libr users on feature requests and UI improvements.

>It was a specific plan, budgeted for
I like how you call what I said "arrant nonsense". Such a harsh response must have been followed up by some irrefutable facts for justification. Instead, your argument is "it was budgeted for". This level of nativity is complete lack of knowledge of planning and budgeting and forecasting models shouldn't be coupled with your big boy harsh words.

Lets see, Kevin Rudd said it would cost $15 billion. The total cost at the moment seems to be $51 billion. So your conspiracy theory is that the crappier NBN we got which required less work cost $36 billion more than the one you are saying was budgeted for?
I'm baffled it took a twitter critical mass of people for this to happen. Stallman has been detrimental to the image of the FSF for years.

Someone you have to explain the concept of coercive consent to (in recent "entirely willing" comments, and whenever he argues for pedophilia) should not be in a position of power. Then again it seems like nobody managed to do so even now.

Is there a VM that does not crash in case of a catastrophic event?

For example: what happens if I run this code?

public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Object[] o = null;

while (true) {
o = new Object[] {o};
}
}
}

What happens if there is a bug in some JNI code that cause a segfault?

What Erlang programming style tries to teach is not to avoid crashes by being very defensive and trying to prevent every possible error condition (it's impossible), but to detect them by being fault tolerant and restart the process from a good state.
I'm a reasonably well travelled Australian (30+ countries, 40ish US states) and think that Southern Utah has one of the best concentrations of natural attractions on the planet. I've visited a number of times and would love to visit at least yearly if I could. I can appreciate that locals detest being swamped, but should everyone have a chance to visit such unique features for themselves?

National parks in the US have incredible brand recognition and cachet and I imagine that this campaign is only part of the story. The big name parks across most of the country are swamped - Yellowstone, Yosemite, Rocky Mountain, etc.

I don't know that there's a brilliant solution short of virtual tourism. Raising prices deters anyone but the rich. Adding carparks just reduces the magic of the wild. Increasing awareness of the second-tier features or developing more is an option. Naturally, the crowded experience will push people to visit outside primetime or peak season.

Absolutely do not be deterred though. As the article suggests, avoid peak times for the best experience. Get up early. Stay late. You can sleep in at home. In Moab specifically, loads of people start later than they'd hoped or concentrate in particular places for sunset or return to the town for dinner. If you want a meal in town, make it lunch when the light is most stark and the park is packed. See Delicate Arch at sunrise instead of sunset, as one example. On this year's trip, we started Devils Garden at 6-7pm and came back in the dark with headlamps - had an amazing sunset and only saw a handful of people out there (I wouldn't recommend this to first-time visitors as the primitive trail can be adventurous to follow).

Outside of the big five, there are outstanding places nearby that are popular but not completely overrun. Byway 12 is superb, Buckskin Gulch is fantastic, the slot canyons near Escalante, Coyote Gulch, Goblin Valley, Horseshoe Canyon, Cedar Breaks, Snow Canyon State Park, Kodachrome Basin, etc. Even in the big parks, there are top-shelf experiences that most people don't see - hiking into Canyonlands' The Maze is one of the best things I've ever done, hiking Trans-Zion is full of premium scenery without huge crowds, Fiery Furnace in Arches sans-guide is good fun, at Bryce you can get some great early/late viewing without hordes just by skipping the two main viewpoints.

But at least one 14-year-old was involved in his case, which lead to his initial imprisonment in 2008. Doubtlessly many of the girls in his employ were 14 or 15. And remember, he wasn’t always in MA. He was a serial exploiter of underage girls, and acquiescence doesn’t mean consent if Epstein held power/influence over the teenage girls.
> If any politician or public figure said this statement in the past 70 years, they would have ended their career.

Sadly this is not true; it's been routine for all kinds of authority figures to blame the victim and excuse the perpetrator in cases of sexual assault and rape. Including police and judges.

The only way we've moved forward is the public making very clear that that is not acceptable, but this actually has a low hit rate. For every Stallman there is a Kavanagh, and a hundred rape apologists to back then up.

His defence of Minsky - that there's nothing wrong with adult men fucking children procured by a child trafficker, because the children like it - was merely the last straw in a long line of obnoxious behaviour, ranging from being angry at people for celebrating having a child, to a spirited enthusiasm for the idea that small children are enthusiastic sexual partners that goes back decades.

Moreover, anyone putting in even the smallest effort to look at what's surfaced will see this goes hand-in-hand with sexual harassment of undergrads and "funny but not really" stories of women cultivating plants in their offices because it keeps him away.
I don't see any problem with that scenario at all.

There's plenty of politicians, and we're better off when the ones that have an interrest or benefits just backs out and don't participate in that particular cause.
