This is the kind of reasoning that drives me insane. When most men say "if my girlfriend didn't work, she should do more chores" that is exactly what they mean. That's it. As for studies, nobody was talking about that, so it is irrelevant. This isn't even a man vs woman thing, the same logic could be replied in reverse if I were staying home with the kids and my wife was bringing home the bacon.

Jury Nullification is a concept in criminal law, it has no basis in civil law under which this would be argued.

In civil law if the jury completely disregarded the facts / the law to the point that the judge believes that no reasonable jury could have reached the decision they did, the judge would be likely to enter a judgement not withstanding verdict whereby he or she basically says "I know what the jury said but they're wrong".

Wired UK: Have humanoid UFOs returned to India?
There's a bug in the first optimization example. Specifically, class "point"'s "up" and "down" methods still reference the "move" method as "move" instead of "b". It can be fixed by replacing the original statement "p.move(10)" with "move.call(p, 10)" for the "up" method (and similarly for the "down" method).

Despite the bug, I think it illustrates a good point. You can adopt a specific coding style that help you achieve higher level of minification/obfuscation.

It would be nice if languages like TypeScript can perform this transformation for you.

Heap growth moving from 32b to 64b is rarely on the order of 50-100% larger. 20-30% is much more common (100% would imply that your application stores no actual data, only pointers and sizes; I know that pointer-chasing is very much in style these days, but that's ridiculous. Even the 1:1 ratio implied by a 50% figure is an extreme outlier).

Further, raw heap size typically has marginal impact on performance; locality of reference and size of working set are far more important. It doesn't matter if your raw heap usage grows by 30% if the majority of your accesses are to the same working set of data either way.

At the same time, a well-crafted interpreter or JIT (which people seem to think is important in browsers) benefits heavily from increasing the size of the register set. Even in more typical use cases, even without aggressive optimization, speedups of 10-20% are common in moving from x86 to x86_64.

Back in the 1990s, the revolutionary organization Sendero Luminoso was naive enough to believe in WordPerfect's encryption. This was a grave mistake, for that encryption (for 4.2 and 5.1 at least) was a simple XOR of the password against the text--and in 5.1 you had 10 or so bytes of known text to compare against in the header. The decryption of the files was not the only thing that worked against Sendero Luminoso, but it must have hurt them.
While students will likely get the most out of CodeHS if it’s being offered in a computer science class taught by someone familiar with CS, the platform allows teachers to learn right along with their students.

That there is putting a finger on a huge cultural hurdle. Not just for the adoption of this problem bu maybe to adaption to the modern world. The rule of thumb is that teachers need to be 5+ years more advanced than their students.

A teacher that finds the material hard is a very different role.

Actual modern x86 implementations have hundreds of registers; what they are starved for is register names. This puts enormous pressure on the register-rename and reordering logic of the processor, but Intel and AMD have turned out to be quite good at delivering there, to the point that (certain numerical algorithms aside) the relative lack of register names is usually a non-issue.

If I remember correctly the support for the decimal separator is a mess between Android and iOS, I think it was so that iOS defaults to comma and Android to a dot which makes is difficult to write any cross-browser code with input-type number if it has to handle decimal numbers as well.
The last pic in the article says they did exactly that.
The problem with implementation hiding is that it is impossible to do well with templates.

Offline first is almost magical for end-users, since this is something quite contradictory to how people perceive the web. Having said that, it's also incredibly difficult to get it right.

As others have pointed out, the major problem I face is to inform the users that some features are not available when they are offline (e.g. file uploads). If you're not careful with the user experience, this leads to lots of support headache.

Another problem is dealing with legacy client data. If you are storing anything at all in the local storage, you need to realize that it's going to be always there once you write it. So handling with data migrations on the client storage becomes very important, and definitely must be thought ahead.

The Intimate Life of Albert Einstein
I've never liked the movement to get all kids to learn how to code. It's not an essential skill like Maths or English (or the language of your country). If we are doing our jobs right the only people who should ever need to write code are the ones who want to. Schools should offer computer classes for students who want to learn, obviously, but insisting everyone learn more than the basics (which kids growing up these days tend to know anyway) is a waste of time.

Looking to Cities, in Search of Global Warming’s Silver Lining
True. But this area, and the arguments that go with is, isn't just about the cost to copy a book (copyright). It's also about patent law - ideas were just as easy to copy back then. It's about copying plays, where the cost of copying the "book" is trivial, compared to the cost of the production itself.

I'm no historical expert, but I would wager that looking through history, you'll find that this situation isn't as unique as most people think. People were debating copyright in the English Parliament during the 1800's, including debates on piracy which practically predict the current situation.
That's actually an advantage, IMO. My wife knows the password to my password manager in case I get incapacitated. I should also put similar instructions in my will.

When user completes a stroke (touch up), then I take the path drawn by user, then divide the path such that each small sub path is very close to a line. Then I have combination of lines, Suppose I have four lines, then possibilities are that it can be a quadrilateral or circle, (if the end of last line is close to the start of the first line), then I use variance to determine which shape closely fits to the drawn stroke.

Once I know if this is quadrilateral, then uses various heuristics to find out if it is close to a rectangle or parallelogram etc.

It tends to be more about ethnicity than nationalism per se, but yes. Your membership in the Albanian/Serb/Roma/Croat/etc. community is central to your personal identity in the Balkans, far outweighing where you happen to live or where you happen to spend your Sunday mornings/Friday afternoons.

They're all interrelated though, so it gets complicated rather quickly. But yes: Serbs are proud to be Serbs.
To be fair, when I read the title I thought that if the string is truly random then it's actually a very good technique. This is the core operating principle behind the one-time pad which is provably secure.

Now that I read the article twice, I literally got a panic attack when I realized that it wasn't a random string that they were xor'ing their data with, but a string called "RANDOM_STRING". Although it sounds bad, one must realize that this is not security by obscurity since the key has been leaked, and nobody guarantees encryption against a leaked key.
And yet it can still be valid to have a sample in a commercial work under fair use.
My understanding is that when using the xor cipher, even if the key is truely random, the file could still be trivially completely decrypted for a repeating key. It seems like a rather unwieldy cipher if you need to download a key which is nearly the same size as the video file.
> If the price dropped to zero for everyone then supply would plummet as well.

That's a myth, because people were writing novels and singing songs and doing theatrical plays long before media distribution and consumption. Even now many musicians earn much more money from live concerts.

Also, I pirate stuff, mostly because where I live I can't get that content at all when I want it. However I also go to the movie theaters nearby with my wife and pay something like $30 for 2 tickets and some popcorn, per movie.

I don't mind paying that price because I'll never have the same experience at home, no matter how awesome my equipment can get, because (1) the size of my monitor is upper-bounded by the size of my living-room walls and (2) watching movies at home is boring.
Thus you negate the need for the book :-)

When science shows that scientists are sexist and biased against women
lot of departments professors have good business options

Most professors are professors because they want to be professors, not for the money. I had several professors when I went to school who'd left business (and taken a significant pay cut) for a chance to teach and research, and I have a friend who's turned down job offers to almost double his salary just because he really likes the university world. Enough people are willing to 'pay' for the opportunity to work at universities by earning less money. Being an administrator at a university on the other hand isn't much different from being an administrator anywhere else and thus you have to pay them full market rates.

it's a technical way to prevent google from reaching your site. You easily can do it right now (even better, use robots.txt instead of obscure hacks), but the publishers don't want it. They don't want google to stop showing their content, they want money for it and google is unwilling to pay.

Is not strictly client/server, not at least in the sense of thin clients. I think of it as software that also takes advantage of the network (by using its internal client to interact with the server).

What we are really discovering here is that we can do software that uses the (big) network.

The opportunity is in that, differently from the past, this time we suck less at the UX design.
The issue is a different one. Google does not demand access to news portals, the publishers grant it. If they would not like to appear in the google search, a single entry in the robots.txt would take care of that. However, since google does send them a lot of traffic, publishers actually want to appear as far up in the listing as possible and spend ridiculous amounts of money on SEO. However, now that newspaper publishers have problems monetizing, they turn to the state, point to google and cry "they are making money with our content, we want a share." while forgetting that google provides a service of its own: Google does compile and serve the index, and for that, they take money. They do not serve newspaper pages to the reader or create content.

I have no special feelings for google, but making a law that requires search engine providers to strike a separate contract with any publishing entity whose contents they want to list would hardly be beneficial to any side. It's just that most german publishing houses are too blind to see. They're like a wounded elephant in a porcelain store: Unable to clearly see what damage they're causing to the surrounding world.
That's what I call irony... So it seems that Internet Explorer will be soon, at least on Windows, (again) the technological most advanced browser. Microsoft did their homework.
If they don't want to be crawled, they could just change the robots.txt. But nobody does.

Given that I (and everyone I've spoken to) thought that one of the main goals for the Raspberry Pi was to provide an open platform for childrens education and development (right or wrong, this is how it was marketed to me and quite a few others that I know personally) it makes me feel a bit like I've been had. If it's not an open platform why are we supporting it? What's the difference between this and insert a n other board? Cheapness? I can get that with an MSP430. Linux? I can get that elsewhere in a more open capacity.
It's not completely true. Google news does host all the content for some pages (I have no idea if they have the agreement or not). This might depend on the country though as I can't see anything right now that looks like that.
