I'm pretty sure RMS exhibits most of all of the symptoms of Asperger's and would immediately get the diagnosis if he walked into a psychiatrists' office.

It's a bit ignorant for Bushnell to be degrading RMS by calling him a "a whiny child who has never reached the emotional maturity to treat people decently" when the man 99.9% likely cannot cognitively do so.

It's really unfortunate that people with Asperger's (potentially like RMS) are at a massive disadvantage when holding positions of any kind of power in a public setting.
They are using what few tools they have left to re-flate before the recession so yea, it wouldn't surprise me.

How to make computing more sustainable
The $50/mo rate is for charter members who signed up within the first 3 months of it being available. New customers have to pay $70/mo, which drops to $60/mo after the first year. So not everyone is paying the $50/mo rate.

this applies to many other instances of systems being adopted and appearing to succeed even though what's really behind the success is something else, but because we don't have the control we associate the system with the success, like how when it's reported that a successful person eats chocolate or wears red; they were successful and they happened to wear red and it was only coincidence. Humans are always looking for causes and will associate spurious things together by default. I bet you if Agile were removed from all teams tomorrow they'd still deliver.
Yes it is.

Here he says the word "assaulting" is wrong:

> The injustice is in the word “assaulting”. The term “sexual assault” is so vague and slippery that it facilitates accusation inflation: taking claims that someone did X and leading people to think of it as Y, which is much worse than X.

And here he says it's wrong because assault means force or violence:

> The word “assaulting” presumes that he applied force or violence, in some unspecified way, but the article itself says no such thing.
Only that they had sex.

Here's where he denies this was rape:

> I think it is morally absurd to define "rape" in a way that depends on minor details such as which country it was in or whether the victim was 18 years old or 17.

This is in response to someone saying that having sex with someone who is 17 in the Virgin Islands is rape.
I think the most maddening thing you could do in that scenario without being malicious would be to just log in periodically, pick a teacher at random, and "corrupt" their name randomly. Switch two letters, insert random symbols and numbers, etc. Don't make the names insulting or anything, just make a subtle, visible, slowly progressive 'bug'.

Assuming it isn't ignored, you can smile to yourself years later at the thought that there is a bug report open somewhere that a poor engineer has probably spent weeks trying to reproduce.
Any reasons to avoid direct booking versus Airbnb for 2nd or 3rd stays?
Exactly!

We had some money fraudulently withdrawn from our Wells Fargo checking account and though we got it back, I had a bunch of questions about bank security. My bank manager arranged a phone call from somebody on the inside to me. I pressed her about their password length restriction saying that as long as they are hashing the password, length doesn't practically matter. The fact that length is limited to a small number of characters makes me think they are storing the clear password in a database. The response was basically don't worry about it because you aren't responsible for fraud.
it is just genius - Trump is going to solve the CA homeless crisis by bringing smog back to make the CA cities streets impossible to stay at for any prolonged amount of time.
Nokia.. I would not trust it again after microsoft takeover.
People tend to get lost in mathematical technicalities in these discussion. Yes, even really dumb limitations leave 100k+ possibilities open, much more than you can brute force with a three-strike-lockdown. But that's not making it ok. Even if some crafty hackers on the other side of the world find a way to crack my account I'm confident the bank will look at the possible PR and legal costs and just refund my money fully, yes, yes, wonderful. That is not the problem.

The problem is user inertia. Let me speak as an averaged one, mixed with my own deeds prior to being knowledgeable in cyber security.

If I'm forced to remember my password because my password manager gets shut out or because of weird requirements, like uppercase letter + two numbers + non-alphanumeric, I'm nudged to use the same variation of my "default password" I used before, 27 times.

"DognameBirthyear&".

"+KeysThatAreCloseOnTheKeyboard1234+".

And of course, I use a slight variation of that for everything. Shady web-server-under-the-desk web forum in 2007 three of my friends were on. Indie game servers, another classic. Bank. Google. It also was my facebook password which I gave to my bff once to check if that cute boy really liked me. It also can be guessed by obtaining my ID and watching me super slowly type the added non-alphanumerical at the end.

This opens the very real possibility of revenge of ex partners, witty people at the coffee shop gaining access and the like. Crimes are committed overwhelmingly by people knowing the victim. No fancy AI is gonna help you with that, reasonable withdraws in the middle of the day in your time zone from your own MacBook's IP address. Good luck with customer support. You are enabling THAT with your dumb requirements.

And why?? You are a bank, hire someone who knows their job and does not just act on blog spam FUD or whereever you got the idea of exactly 5 digits numbers only. No, I choose to be mad about this because there is no excuse for such horrifying UX and security.

Just enforce a minimum limit of like four characters to prevent breach by putting down coffee mug on keyboard, enforce a maximum limit so you don't fall victim to an embarrassing flavor of DOS attack. If you feel fancy, throw a bunch of money at haveibeenpwned to check whether people are putting dumb passwords and let your local RegEx wizard check against all other silliness. There you go. I even waive you the $150k fee for that extraordinary piece of consulting.

I really have to ask: Is everyone in the comments apart of an organized troll? Because I feel like I’ve lost my mind reading most of these comments.

It seems like everyone here thinks torrenting is as easy and simple as using streaming services actually is, and that streaming is as complicated as torrenting actually is.

I used to torrent stuff all the time. Constantly. I have several HDs laying around filled with torrented movies and tv shows. Why? Because I was in college and couldn’t afford them.

The day I started making enough money to just sign up to services and buy copies of the movies I wanted I stopped torrenting forever. It’s easy and I’m not stealing.
I'm all for it, as long as the options are reasonable, which means the lowest option should be 10%. It's annoying when the lowest option is configured to something like 18%. Generally, I'll tip 10% on to-go orders, 15% on counter service, and 20% for table service. Sometimes I feel charitable and tip $1 on a $3.50 coffee. Tipping helps subsidize low wages and I think it should be more adopted on the Internet (see my handle dot com).
It might not be Redux's fault, but the result of Redux being a popular library is that many projects have all of their state stored globally. This would not be the case if Redux didn't exist. Call me consequentialist, but I think Redux has to share some of the blame.

Where are you coming up with this nonsense? Let's see the numbers.

>This is a well documented fact

Oh, well if you say so then.
Footnote 6 is interesting:

“I prefer asserts over comments for this, since the compiler can also see them. The good news is, the compiler can also see that they don't do anything so a lot fewer are present in the binary program. Interestingly, a couple of them allows the compiler to optimize much harder. No, I won't tell you which those are.”

I appreciate the pattern of having “comments” that are equally useful to compiler and reader. And I’m impressed that some compilers actually use them to optimise the output. And I’m slightly baffled that the examples of these are apparently a secret. :)
I think I did a poor job communicating what I meant.

I agree with you, the current status quo is abhorrent.

Were there to be competition, some providers offering poor deals is fine. That isn't the case though. Thank you for articulating.
What are the arguments against a host and guest booking directly, instead of through services like Aibnb, VRBO, etc?

I stayed at a house successfully for a week last summer, and the host and I are interested in re-booking for next summer (same guests, host and location)?

Any reasons why host shouldn't book directly?

Any reasons why I, as a guest, shouldn't do it?

Obvisouly, booking directly would save about 15% in transaction fees.

Thanks!

It's a frontend problem, not a backend problem. The case I've seen it most is trying to store large objects in localstorage for consumption offline. You obviously end up with more data in this case.

Mobile browsers are the biggest problem, they (and desktop ie sometimes) can struggle with objects of even a few hundred kb.
Wait until you realize that describes normal breath, too.

Hence the "verges", rather than simply saying it "is". It's as close to a complaint about it as you can get without quite 100% being there.
Firing instead of teaching when the person can learn isn't management.

I saw an ALPS vehicle a few months back in the parking lot of a local Wal-Mart (AZ). It was rolling slowly up and down the aisles searching for what at first I presumed was a parking spot closer to the front doors.

Closer inspection revealed it's true nature. Mounted on the trunk lid were four cameras, two on each side, angled slightly downward.

The vehicle was an old piece of sht Ford Crown Vic P71 with white doors, black body, black rims, rusted spotlight, and slightly visible police decal adhesive. The kind you purchase at government auction for $750. It looked like something Reevers would use as a daily driver.

Certainly not as classy as a Google Maps car, but apparently getting the job done because parked in the outer lot was a shiny-new, jet-black, "deluxe" companion tow truck with
chrome rims and full stealthiness -- waiting for a hit.

What gives you the impression that they're "focusing on conservatives?" Do you have evidence for this statement?

What's surprising is that these snake oil sellers have made it so far? Are investors so stupid? Are they so detached from reality? Whatever happened to due financial diligence?
I don't think I'm ignoring the cost. Rather, I'm thinking that it's the mechanism most likely to arrive at a correct conclusion. Think of scientific method, by comparison... it's slow, inefficient, and expensive, but it's more likely to be correct than common sense is, and certainly more likely to be correct than faith or ideology.

Leaving it to "experts", and shushing the rabble, makes you vulnerable to the experts. At which point, you want experts you agree with and don't want those you disagree with, based on your lack of expertise. This is just a triumph of authoritarianism and ideology. Which, if it turns out to be correct, is awesome. But what if it's wrong?

That is more a question of formatting your queries. I can show SPARQL to our data analyst and biologists and they get them. Equivalent Cypher is supper confusing because the queries tend to be quite large and the space between the MATCH and WHERE sections as done in the queries I have seen makes it hard to follow.

MATCH (p:Person)
WHERE 3 <= p.yearsExp <= 7
RETURN p

or

PREFIX :<my_bussines_vocab>
SELECT ?p
WHERE { ?p a :Person ;
:yearsExp ?ye .
FILTER (3 <= ?ye && ?ye <= 7)
}

Yes there is a prefix. But if well used they can be super useful. Filter interspersed with the graph pattern helps once the queries get very complicated.

I have never seen a real study of Cypher being easier to read than equivalently well formatted Sparql.

MATCH (j:Person {name: 'Jennifer'})-[:LIKES]->(:Technology {type: 'Graphs'})<-[:LIKES]-(p:Person),
(j)-[:IS_FRIENDS_WITH]-(p)
RETURN p.name

or

PREFIX :<my_bussines_vocab>
SELECT ?pName
WHERE {
?j a :Person ;
:name 'Jenifer' ;
:likes ?graphTech .
?p a :Person ;
:name ?pName ;
:likes ?graphTech ;
:isFriendsWith ?s .

?graphTech a :Technology ;
:type 'Graphs' .
}

The Cypher is difficult in this example because it goes both directions in the linkage, first part is read left to right, second right to left. Making it hard to decompose, and the < or > in the directions are easily missed once the queries get larger.

PREFIX :<my_bussines_vocab>
SELECT ?pName
WHERE { ?j a :Person ; :name 'Jennifer' ; :likes [ a :Technology ; :type 'Graphs'] ; ^:likes ?p .
?p a :Person ; :isFriendsWith ?j }

Would be a very close version layout wise to the earlier example from the Cypher tutorial. But I don't think anyone would write that without spending some serious thought about obfuscation ;)
I believe Raymond Hettinger now considers that a mistake, and wishes he had gone with a trailing underscore (param_) instead. A trailing underscore is just as unlikely to lead to a collision, but less confusing.

In Rust, an assert can turn multiple bounds checks on array indexing into just a single bounds check. Maybe it's something along those lines here too.

It is understandable that everybody wants to learn especially junior developers, and it is a good thing to learn, and what better way to learn than try out different things.

Unfortunately then rather than getting something useful done we often just get some learning done, perhaps learning how NOT to do it :-)

The same issue I think affects the tools landscape. People want to use the latest hyped things because ... they want to learn how to use the new tools. The new tools might not be better, but you don't know until you try them.

Where you make a great point I think is that the most important thing to learn is: The simplest solution that works is typically the best. They used to say "YAGNI", You Ain't Gonna Need It.

> Otherwise if you're downloading stuff off the pirate bay it's either going to get you nailed pretty quickly for IP infringement

I don't know much about private trackers because I don't actually torrent illegally (I pretty much only use torrents to seed Linux distros). But I'm skeptical "getting nailed" is actually much of a concern. I had a roommate not long ago who torrented illegally quite frequently. The only reason we know it was happening is we'd receive love letters from the ISP every few weeks, and while I suspect I know who was doing it, I'm not 100% sure. As far as I know there were never any consequences beyond that.

> you'll end up with fake files and a virus thats labeled as a codec you need to install

I am pretty skeptical that this is as common as you think it is. Certainly the kind of naive person who is installing codecs that unexpectedly were packaged with their files is not going to have an easy time on any part of the internet. And if you're using a site like EZTV the chances of this approach negligible.

> Running a VPN or seedbox or any of the other numerous things to get around this (usenet is my own weapon of choice) results in what may be for you and I an easy or even fun activity, but not for my sisters kid or whatever.

I use NordVPN (again, not for illegally torrenting--I originally got it for testing internationalization, but nowadays mostly use it because it's a middle ground between the privacy of Tor and the speed of un-proxied internet). The toolbar icon makes it pretty easy. I suspect the main barrier here would be even knowing that VPNs exist and wanting to pay for it, not actually using a VPN service once you have it.
Whatever China and Russia are doing, cant be more than drops in the ocean, in comparison to the modern Western News media. They are triggering people, including themselves 24x7x365. Matt Taibbi describes the consequences better than most - https://taibbi.substack.com/p/introduction-the-fairway
Yup. Another example of this is when I was in college and other students would go on ratemyprofessor or look up grade distributions for different professors and class options to pick the easiest ones. The thought of, you know, actually learning something even if it was hard wasn’t even a consideration - they just wanted the GPA.

This continues in the working world as well, unfortunately. Many employees will optimize behaviors and attention to what’s most likely to get them a bonus or promotion regardless of how damaging it is to other people, users, or the company long term.
I often remark that IT in general is a history-less space. I wonder if Tom would have developed Jekyll if he knew about Blosxom? Blosxom had its last release in the same month when Jekyll had its first.

The blog post seems to imply that he came up with the idea and code for Jekyll all by himself. But also as he's a Ruby guy, it's likely he would have ported over the code and concepts to his own project.

Unfortunately, there truly isn't a point to many of the things we do in education, especially at the college level.

I went to college because I wanted to get a job as a high paid software engineer.

And although many of the class that I took, did indeed help me with this goal, many of them that I had to take did not.

It would have been awesome if I could have replaced some of my required classes that weren't particularly useful, with more focused ones on web development, and industry related.
I'm only an infrequent C programmer, but that goal interests me simply because it seems unattainable given other aspects of C's syntax. If qualifiers went to the right of things they qualify, I'd expect variable declarations to look more like:

foo: int const;

And similarly, function declarations might also take a more ML-like syntax. C seems more like it wants to be an adjectives-before-nouns type of language.

ToS and getting removed from the platform?
> Just wait for Rust to get a DOM API and MVC/data binding framework. UI responsiveness will be incredible, and webapps will feel light weight again.

Alas, my experience (and I've benchmarked this extensively) is that it's almost always the DOM / rendering that is the bottleneck in web apps. JavaScript isn't as fast as Rust, but it's pretty damn fast. I wouldn't expect Rust bindings to the DOM to improve much. For that kind of thing, I think we need improvements to the DOM api (and CSS layout model) itself (perhaps a more restricted opt-in fast path).

I could see it playing out like this:

Obama, 2009: CA, you can keep setting your own standards.

CA: Great! OK car companies, by 2025 we want you to hit these numbers.

Car companies: Will do.

CA: Great. OK car companies, the 2025 targets are still in place.

I think any manufacturer who doesn't stick with California's standard, even if they're temporarily allowed to ignore it, is absolutely crazy. Higher standards seem absolutely inevitable, and I think it's corporate suicide to trust that the EPA will remained weakened and toothless.
