The Librarian of Congress was responsible for the exemption that exempted jailbreaking in the first place, and then decided not to renew it. The public is actually petitioned for what they think should be exempted and their argument for or against. As to whether it's truly illegal or not is now up to the courts.
Hm... But it is the US and the EU who put trade embargoes on buying goods from North Korea. And this is mainly the reason of why people are starving there. THis country made a truly heroic effort of producing EVERYTHING itself.
By the way there are thousands of kids like that in Chicago and Bronx.
In America, at least, you should denominate your earnings in USD, even if they are held in a foreign currency.

"If you receive all or part of your income or pay some or all of your expenses in foreign currency, you must translate the foreign currency into U.S. dollars."

Having observed numerous animals, from domestic to naturally wild to feral, I can confidently say animals do not follow a moral system of any nature. Their priorities are survival and propagation (terms used in the broadest of sense).

Don't believe me? Go to the zoo. Go to a big cat enclosure, preferably one with a window that allows you to get "face to face" with them. Look that animal in the eye and see if here is any morality in there.

Really try to get face to face, nose to nose. While there, take note of your subdued instincts telling you "get away, get away now". They're telling you that for a reason.
Interesting you say this. I spent the last year in Bangladesh and while I loved how cheap medicines were (and they seemed legitimate), the doctor/pharmacists who would proscribe them on every street corner seemed to not follow the instructions I found online for the very same drugs.. Sometimes they didn't even follow the directions listed on the box. They'd say "take antobiotics for 4 days" when online it would say to take for 12, for example. It's as if they just sort of winged everything with the aim of doing the minimum to nuke the infection... understandable goal but risky along the lines of what you say.
The author is saying "Read up on North Korea so that your own country doesn't become like them."

I'd say because it's even more difficult for a white rapper to make it big in the industry. It's one more hurdle they had to overcome.
To be more precise, I think the biggest problem with this anecdote is the notion that this guy somehow "one-upped" Knuth by coming up with a pragmatic rather than a theroetically optimal solution. Knuth is a mathematician after all, and if someone asks him to write a program they're implicitly asking for a mathematical result, not an unremarkable engineering tool.

So no, taking this anecdote at face value, this guy didn't "one-up" Knuth; they were effectively answering two different questions. There is more to computer science than finding the simplest shell script to solve the 80% case.
Surely it's a piece of Arc doing that. I can't imagine time and time again somebody is wasting their time changing titles.

Perhaps the delay is from the software waiting for a good (low load) time to fetch the page.
It may not be actual news but it is new, and I found it a fascinating read.
I don't believe the OP was actually comparing a 2-year contract to getting killed in a gas chamber. But rather comparing how easy it is for many people to just look away and not care about things that happen to others since it is not happening to them... only to find that one day it DOES happen to them and then they're screwed. This happens on many levels less than genocide. Getting involved should not be reserved for only combating genocide.

As far as I can tell, that question doesn't say anything about about a remote (as in on another machine) server. It sounds like the question is just about copy files to a directory outside of the Maven project.

I know that Maven is ultimately capable of being used to copy a file. However, there are multiple ways to do this because all of the options have limitations and are somewhat awkward to use. For instance, I don't think resource plugin you linked to supports renaming as part of the copy.

Why is using your build to push files to a remote server a problem? A common use would be to deploy local code to an environment that simulates production. If that cannot be done as part of the build then it will exist as scripts that exist outside of the build. This means that there will probably be a lot more 'reinventing the wheel'.

Also, there has been huge consolidation in the market. For example, BMW owns Rolls-Royce and Mini, the Volkswagen group includes Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Skoda, and others, Volvo is, IIRC, chinese and Chevrolet Korean, and there are lots of reciprocal relationships such as that betweeen Renault and Nissan.

There are almost more car brands than car designs.

Since the politicians and their servants invented these new regulations to please their friends and intend to enforce it at gunpoint, my question is now: what respect-instilling reprisals should be inflicted -- thoroughly -- to discourage them from trying this again? It is not possible to make an omelet without breaking eggs. So what's next?
I don' think that's what the article is about. If you break the contract you'll have to pay a terminal fee anyway.
You just made a point why this 'replace' may actually be useful to do things instead of bothering with using something as needlessly complicated as you have illustrated sed.

It would be far quicker for me to write an one-use program in a number of languages than to find out how to do this in the sed oneliner style that you show - ergo, the sed approach has drawbacks in some use cases, and alternatives should be tried.

I was once talking with a professional negotiator (and a great story-teller) and when trying to explain what was so hard about programming, I said that it was like getting a nearly unlimited amount of incredibly stupid people to work together to do exactly what you need.

He then told me the story of his brother with Down syndrome who was once weaving a carpet and who happened to make two black spots right in the middle of the big white center of the carpet. When asked why he made that mistake the brother proudly proclaimed that it wasn't a mistake at all, ran to his pattern book and showed the pattern.

It was perforated on those spots.

This guy appears to misunderstand the purpose of affirmative action / positive discrimination. It's not to make tokens out of people, but to try to remove systemic bias against groups underrepresented in a society or subculture - case in point, females being often underrepresented in tech conferences due to rampant sexism.
Evetually it will, around about the point that either (a) speed becomes the norm in high-level languages or (b) we're forced to concede that the two are allies: Higher-level languages are implemented using lower-level languages, and the main thing you do with lower-level languages is implement higher-level languages.

(For the latter option, especially if you use the word language somewhat loosely - e.g., a TCP stack isn't a programming language, but TCP is a somewhat higher-level abstraction, and it's best implemented using lower-level languages.)
You don't need a metaphor. You can use a real life situation:

"I want to go to Europe"

You can't do that next week. Well, you can, but you won't be able to use your phone there without paying ridiculous roaming and data charges.

If you unlock your phone and hop a plane today, you can stop at any mobile phone shop at your destination airport, give them five euro, and they'll give you a new pre-paid SIM card with five euro worth of credit on it.

That's enough to use your phone as much as you like for the duration of your two-week vacation. Top up with another fiver if you want a couple GB of data while you're at it. And you're done. Just remember to pop your old sim back in when you get home.

Travelling the rest of the world is all about picking up cheap local SIM cards in every country you visit and enjoying cheap calls like a local. You're about to lose that.
Sorry, his articles are not coherent. They are rambling and full of passages calibrated to cause unease and uncertainty. Encountering one, you then read on in an effort to have the latest outrageous statement substantiated, but usually in vain.

The riddle or puzzle aspect of his writing kind of engages my intellect, but it's a time sink. Because of his self-regard and unconventional intellectual reference frame, you think there is something there, but there is not. (Unless you agree with him politically, which seems impossible, because he takes pride in being to the right of everyone.)
Ah something I have personal experience with: I was taught bridge in fourth grade. I'm sure my teacher then would make a great programmer :P.

That said, I'm not sure I would use this analogy myself. "Imbecile" evokes the image of somebody either making bad decisions or not cooperating with the teacher. The computer does neither--in essence it makes no decisions and cooperates too much. After all, the problem with the computer is not that it does something you didn't tell it to or something you told it not to but that it does exactly what you told it to do.

Do you know how some people sometimes act passive-aggressively and take everything you say completely literally? It's annoying. That's what programming is like.(Except, of course, I usually don't find programming annoying.)
The US has historically used food aid for North Korea as a bargaining chip; NK tests missiles, US sends less food. Not sure what this source's bias is, but here's a quote:

> It has been widely reported that any food aid that arrives in North Korea is diverted away from ordinary citizens and doled out to key constituents, especially in the military. It is precisely for this reason that Pyongyang refuses to allow aid workers the ability to conduct routine monitoring of humanitarian aid delivery.

No there are not thousands of kids like that in Chicago. I assume not the Bronx either.

I don't disagree with your larger point, but as an official member of the Twitter Defense Squadron (got a badge and everything):

> the 140-char restriction supposedly makes you to the point and concise, but in reality it just encourages snark and imprecision.

This is, of course, a false dichotomy. It does both, depending on the author, and the author's mood. The solution to this problem is to not follow jerks on Twitter. Follow cool people whose tweets have wit, poetry, interesting facts, and/or links to the same.

140 characters forces only minimalism, which exaggerates any number of latent traits, good and bad.

>>>If you have to pay the same every month whether you take the subsidy or not, then you'd be a sucker to not take it.

Yes. But I think rates will change too. I think everything will sink to PAYG-like levels in the next few years. Maybe Sprint, being desperate, will change the industry.
But you do fully own the phone, even if you're on a contract. It's not like a mortgage or a car loan; the phone company doesn't have a lien on your phone. The penalty for breaking the contract isn't to give the phone back--it's to pay a termination fee.
A rather unpleasant and inaccurate metaphor.
New Lightbulb invented, claims to be best in 30 years
So, Phil uses Amazon's design as a spoof for a resume. Aside from the is it copyright or not discussion, I am curios how this differs greatly from people leveraging the svbtle theme?

Every time someone does that, multiple people pop their heads up and talk about blatant ripoff (even when credit is given).

Sure, we have Amazon as e-commerce and this is a resume, where the other case are both essentially blogs. But, you have two cases of people using the design of someone (or something) else for their own purposes.

And, the argument that "people using the svbtle theme are trying to leverage the popularity of svbtle.com to gain legitimacy" is likely the minority. Most people like it for it's cleanliness/simplicity.
It doesn't really have much to do with the story, which is why I think the headline has changed on HN.

That being said, it's a headline. It's designed to attract attention. What you call "linkbait," a subeditor calls "doing their job." It's taking an unusual attribute about the subject of the story to highlight their relative scarcity, thus giving more weight to their achievement in changing the industry. It's like saying, "110lb defensive tackle signs to Giants for record sum." Well now I'm even more curious about this kid than I was before. There's nothing wrong with this article to justify a pejorative like "linkbait."

The attribution of something sinister, unpleasant or suspicious to the word "white" is all you.

> it is the US and the EU who put trade embargoes on buying goods from North Korea. And this is mainly the reason of why people are starving there.

That's not true. People are starving because the government is totally inept in making sure that enough food is produced each year, not because people can't buy it.

I agree that much arguing is really about definitions, and that a clear definition at the start is worthwhile. However, definitions can also be used to covertly get the reader to agree to something. Back when I actually read up on his "neo-cameralism", I remember stopping and thinking "I didn't agree with that", and realizing that his argument depended on a definition that was pages and pages ago, and that I now had to take a thousand steps back and re-read, keeping in mind my disagreement with a small facet of something he specially defined. That's pretty much when I gave up.

Edit 1: "That's an interesting idea. Why not debate it?" Because MM doesn't offer bon mots like this for debate, he piles a hundreds bricks made out of these special definitions and then offers a controversial thesis on top of it. If you stopped to debate all these interesting facets, you'd never get to the meat of the essay--so you just accept them and move on. Again, a rhetorical technique to get you to covertly agree to premises that let him define the battlefield.
They're bacterial viruses. They have zero interest in your cells.
I have read MM at length, and I urge you to follow your instinct to walk away. The internet has more rewarding corners.

I think the disconnect is in the difference between regular expressions as part of formal language theory, and what we use every day and call regular expressions. From what I remember being taught in college (lo these many years ago), regular expressions with back references are not actually regular. Combine that with a nerd's love of pedantry, and you get "regular expressions can't parse HTML because it's not regular".
Ahh I understand.

Thank you for the clarification :)

Well, the whole point is that writing sed-replacement in the language of your choice really is simpler/quicker than learning to write decent "simple shell script wrappers exposing a syntax".

Such wrappers aren't lingua franca anymore - nowadays they are as arcane and as COBOL, since [for most X] it's easier to write a perl|ruby|JS script to do X than a shell script to do X.

Starting from scratch (say, from a Win background) it might be easier to learn a language like Haskell or Scala than to learn the shellscript language with the whole pack of sed/awk/grep/etc flags and tricks.

He's not saying what we should do. He's saying what he thinks will happen. And to me it doesn't sound crazy at all, it sounds like the kinds of things that have been happening in the last years.
Having people criticize my code on comp.lang.perl.misc in 1999 improved my programming skill (and, even more so, my Perl skill) very rapidly. However, they were saying things much more detailed than "eyes bleeding".
As two datapoints ...

I first heard it on the local (terrestrial) pop radio station a few days ago. I'm not sure when they started playing it, though. I e-mailed the YouTube video to a friend in Atlanta, and she said that she'd heard it on her pop radio station as well.
There might be something like a rule of thumb that apologies should be as visible as the insult. If someone insult someone in a conversation, say sorry. If someone insult someone in front of their boss, go back and tell that you are honestly sorry. It hurts and it is why you think before you speak.
Er, you did? The whole post was a log of an actual conversation I had with Nathan, which I made as clear as a person could possibly make it. The headline is "Me & Nathan Talking About His App Experiment."

What really happened here isn't that you misread, but that you didn't read.
This reads to me like arguing for your right to fire guns into the air. You think driving is fun? So do I. I also think it's the most likely way I'm going to die right now, and that thought terrifies me every time I get into a car. (And how much would it suck to be one of the last few hundred thousand people to die in a car crash before it never happened again to anyone?)

We already have tracks, which like firing ranges allow people like us to indulge our hobby in both safety and company. Driving a car on public roads is a ludicrously dangerous and irresponsible thing to do just because it's fun.
Algorithmic trading is a force in the world; whether it is good or not depends on the people wielding it. I think the danger isn't the technology itself, but the small number of people who understand, develop, and control it.

Except that unlocking the phone doesn't free anyone from fulfilling their side of the original contract. So network interests in recapturing their subsidies don't even enter into it.

If I buy an iPhone 5 from ATT and unlock it, even if I pay for a Straight Talk SIM and use that from time to time, I'm still on the hook to pay AT&T whatever monthly fee the contract obligates me to pay.

The only reason AT&T would want me to not unlock my phone, is to ensure they have a captive market for further services that are not part of the contract. Be they usage overages, international roaming, etc.

They'd like my $70/mo for a base smartphone package (with an absurd early termination fee to boot) and to not have to compete for any additional or international service I may need.

Now you can certainly argue that that's a consideration people are willingly agreeing to when they agree to buy subsidized phones on contract. But the argument is that it's a consideration that ought to be explicitly spelled out in the contract terms, rather than enforced by an end-run through copyright law that most people don't know about and have no reason to believe holds any bearing over how they use a device they're paying for.
At least that's the KRAV rules, but that's mostly a Swedish organisation/set of rules. They explicitly forbid pre-emptive use of medication (but require swift treatment of ill animals).
