This is so dumb. Why it is called CppCMS then?
Potentially relevant: "How Complex Systems Fail"

http://www.ctlab.org/documents/How%20Complex%20Systems%20Fai...

I think the people operating complex systems are regularly making mistakes and then correcting them. When mistakes are recovered, the issue never becomes a problem, and there is no postmortem to come to our attention. It's only the cases where mistakes are made repeatedly over a long period, and the outcome is horrific, that the incident comes to our attention. It's a form of selection bias.
The only branch of government that doesn't have influence over FISC is the executive, which runs NSA.
While I still stand by what I said, I want to add a clarification. Some languages are good at some things while others are good at some other.

C/C++/etc are good for job intensive stuff that doesn't need fast maintenance cycle.

Dynamic language are good as web server because of their flexibility and their fast response time (In term of maintenance)

Not being eligible for any government benefits and having had some very lean years, I don't need to visualize or assume a certain lifestyle, I just need to consult my own experience.

I invite you to try the SNAP challenge (http://site.foodshare.org/site/PageServer?pagename=programs_...) and see how long you can go on a $4/day allowance. I was lucky to get sufficient education about nutrition and cooking in school to be able to eat healthily on a budget like this when I've had to, sometimes for a few months at a time. But if you screw up and spoil a meal or some of the food goes bad, then tough luck, you don't get to eat anything.
Learning is fine, just add a disclaimer that it's actually probably not so secure.
Oh please don't get me started on FiSH, and PLEASE don't model anything after fish.
I had the same problem as you, there's no useable crypto for irc.

- The FiSH plugin for Xchat has a (possibly remote) buffer overflow in the Diffie-Hellman key exchange.

- FiSH uses ECB mode. Seriously. ECB.... ECB... might as well use no crypto.

- IIRC FiSH wastes two bytes per 8 byte block the way it does Base64, not sure about this anymore, it's been a while.

So I tried to find a better plugin and mod it a bit which I did (https://gitorious.org/fishslim/dumfish). But I didn't realize back then that FiSH uses ECB mode.

Since the DH key exchange is not authenticated it's useless. So I dropped it and hacked my own (for Xchat, https://github.com/lawl/dumfish), which doesn't offer DH key exchange but CBC mode instead of ECB, we exchanged keys manually via OTR.
(And just makes me realize I also don't have a disclaimer, so I'll add this now.)

Disclaimer: Also not a cryptographer, so it's probably not secure. Do not use for anything serious.

If you want to look at a secure protocol, please look at OTR: http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/

John Roberts real exclusive, unaccountable, lifetime powers come from Article III of the US Constitution, which within 50 years of the ratification of the Constitution came to give the Supreme Court the power to review and overturn the laws of Congress and to issue injunctions against presidential administrations.

Not so.

Not exclusive because 8 other justices have equivalent authority on that ground.

Not unaccountable because he cannot exercise it without convincing 4 other justices to go along with him, through reasoning that is published for the world to see and analyze. (Which many do. In great detail.)

By contrast the appointment authority is a lifetime, exclusive power that he does not have to justify to anybody. No matter the legal underpinnings, there is no question that decisions made by his appointees shape the actual surveillance that takes place. The ability to reappoint every 7 years gives him real ability to, if he chooses, order judges to decide a particular way on threat of needing a new career. (It is doubtful that he operates in this way, but he can.)

There are limits on this power. It is granted by Congress. And so on. But it is the only power that he, by himself, can exercise with no oversight from anyone else.

True, they have similar advantages, very efficient fuel utilization and little waste.

Some of the engineers involved in molten salt reactors say "come for the thorium, stay for the reactor." Liquid fuels offer several benefits. Removing fission products continuously helps you achieve high burnup. There's no fuel fabrication cost. And if the electricity cuts off, a frozen plug melts and all the fuel dumps into a passive cooling tank, with little worry about decay heat since you've been removing those fission products.

The neutron economy is arguably an advantage from a proliferation perspective, since you can't remove much fissile without the reactor shutting down.

Still, a good fast reactor like the IFR has its own charms. The metal fuel is easy to fabricate on-site, and they tested electricity cutoff and it quietly shut down just fine, due to the physics of the fuel and coolant. And the mixed plutonium isotopes produced by the reactor are very difficult to refine into weapons-grade.

One advantage of the molten salt reactor is that there's nothing in the reactor that can drive any kind of chemical explosion, like the hydrogen that blew at Fukushima. The IFR uses molten sodium, which is pretty reactive with air and water. That might not be too terrible to deal with but it does drive up the cost.

Another advantage of the IFR though is that we've got a production-ready design ready to go.
Ask HN: JetBrains vs NetBeans vs Eclipse for PHP, Python and Ruby.

I have the same impression. The commenters tend to be techncially-savy, but really bizarre on pretty much everything else.
Ooh, that's interesting thank you. My knowledge of constitutional application is Not Great, so it's interesting it'd fall within that. I think it's possibly still a crime but one with a certain level of legal affordability, but I'm sure much smarter people than me are working on that definition.

I'd have said the last one (FBI & President) wouldn't fall under treason exactly, as whilst they were whistleblower leakers they weren't of a certain level of international security relations.

Article reminds me of The Manual (How to Have a Number One the Easy Way)¹

¹http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Manual
Thank you for your valuable input. Actually, I have thought a lot about the order in which a total newbie should learn and my reasoning is this:

most of the people asking me how they should learn web development are asking because they have an idea they'd like to complete. I think that anybody can learn how to put an HTML page together and style it (at least, in a basic way). It's not much harder than creating a complex Word document.

By introducing programming first, I wanted the newbie to be exposed as fast as possible to 'real' programming (loops, branching statements, etc) because I think not everybody has what it takes to do it (or understand it) properly. The difficulty, in my opinion, is to get these concepts, together with basic algorithms and OOP. If one can go through that, HTML, CSS and JavaScript won't seem difficult at all and results will come quickly.

I also wrote this path with time in mind. Considering an adult with a day job and other duties/activities. The idea and the reasoning is to be proficient quick enough (not in two weeks but not in 3 years either). Therefore, I left PHP out of the way. One can learn it at a later stage if needed. Same with ASP.NET or Rails or whatever web technology available.

I also broke programming and databases in two sections. For an experienced programmer, learning two languages at the same time can be easy (then again... not always) but for a beginner, this can make a difference between 'I'm making progresses' and 'there's too much to learn, I give up'.

Early in writing, I actually chose the same path you are proposing but I tweaked it, peeling the difficulty layer by layer.
They don't, but trials don't have to be drawn out, ridiculous processes like the Bradley Manning trial has become, they can be done with pretty straight forward behaviour from both sides.
I suspected something like that when I realized Google Ads were now showing up on my screen a few weeks ago. I went to the Adblock Plus forum and all it said was that those ads had been added to the list, no reason why. I personally find it appealing and hope everyone switches away to an Adblock fork, if only by principle. Sure it's the extension' maintainer's right to take bribes, but the consequence should be that no one trusts the extension again.

You do realize that the most widely used Ruby, PHP, Python, Perl, JavaScript and Java implementations all rely very heavily on C and/or C++ in one way or another, right?

Even when using JRuby, for example, it's still running on a JVM that's very likely implemented using one or both of C and C++.

Don't forget that the major web servers and web browsers are all implemented in C and/or C++, or in one of the many scripting language or other runtime implementations implemented using C and/or C++.

And that's ignoring all of the other infrastructure, like server operating systems, router software, and so forth that's implemented using C, or C++, or both.

Every line of code executing in your non-C or non-C++ web development language of choice likely depends on many thousands of lines of C and C++ code, even as you malign them here.
Billboard 61 isn't exactly "obscure" either. Also, they had one album in the Top 50, which is very good for an act in that genre of music.

They may not be the hottest act globally, but they are a well established band that transcended its own subculture.

"second rank" might be more fitting.
Facebook was running a C++ based PHP interpreter, I'd say that's Web programming in an extreme capacity.

Quote from that page:

The original idea was: "Write your own CMS in C++".

The lead developer asked in 2008 for a better name but didn't get any suggestions, so the name stuck.

It was decided later to keep this name as it was already well known name and all the software around used cppcms as the namespace.

But that has nothing to do with this. Reasons don't matter here. If someone is using Adblock Plus, it's because they made the choice to use their technical knowledge to not see ads. There's no question here that by doing this, Google and the extension maintainer knew full well that this was going against user wishes.

I looked into CppCMS a few months ago, I would love to use it but the lack of SSL/HTTPS is a huge detriment. If I have to stick nginx in front of it for SSL I may as well keep using fastcgi.
That sounds like saying assembly is well suited to web programming because Ruby compile down to it eventually.
It still doesn't fit the narrative. "obscure" to summer hit would be someone like Manu Chao that went from "never placed a song" to 189 weeks in european charts instantly.

When you have load/concurrency that needs you to move to C++ there's no doubt C++ is right.

When you reach that level though, you will usually have the resource to build infrastructure specifically designed to your need, dismissing any "general" purpose C++ framework.

All the example mentioned here are using in-house products for the most part.

Silverback Marketing
SEO Specialist - Fulltime - Remote is a possibility

Established in 2007 and based in Phoenix, Arizona, Silverback Marketing is a boutique online marketing firm focused on online customer acquisition through search marketing and other related disciplines. The ideal candidate would be local, however, because this position can be executed remotely we are open to considering candidates outside of the greater Phoenix area.

We are currently seeking an experienced Search Engine Optimization Specialist with at least 2 years of experience at an agency or as an in-house SEO working for an established company. This is a hands on position that requires the candidate to be involved in every step of the optimization process for multiple clients.

For all of the details of the position please contact me at roderick@silverbackmarketing.com
Who cares about design
If you read the about, it details the monicker. Basically, this infrastructure could allow for turnkey VPN networks and sharing of resources/files by way of "deperimetetization", wherein security is on a data level rather than a network level. Read the about; it's a copy-pasta from there.
Except Mozilla doesn't try to hide that fact, and it can be argued to be in users interest by providing a search bar, instead of no search function at all. Here, someone who uses Adblock Plus decided to block ads. Adding them behind their backs is dishonest.
Like you, I'd like to consider myself decently well-versed on the issues and able to sympathize with both sides. However, I'm also coming from the position of hearing Greenwald describe an imminent set of leaks that describe the wholesale collection of phone conversation contents [1] (not just metadata) which IMO changes things drastically. You have to be reading from a dictionary of antonyms to find that under the definition of reasonable.

I would personally be fine with just having more transparency and using warrants issued by real (not secret) courts, even if we keep some of the technologies themselves, since I'm sure they are powerful tools to protect against the real threat of terrorism. But yes, when I consider the millions of lives that have been given to accomplish and defend the set of protections we have as Americans, I do mean it when I say that those who prefer security to freedom should consider finding a different country in which to live, even if it's not logistically feasible to do so. That's just because I'm personally an idealistic, rather than pragmatic, person.

I also apologize for getting overly political in this thread. I'm just coming off the tails of the rally yesterday.

This album was a huge let down. They made this big hoopla about how it was 'so expensive to make' because of the amazing talent like Julian Casablancas they brought into the studio, and they made something no one wanted to listen to. The sales tell part of the story:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/11/random-access-memor...

And they tell some of the rest of it:

"The thing we can ask ourselves at some point is like: We're making music for 20 years. How many bands and acts do you have that are still making good music after 20 years? It always sucks - almost always, you know?"

Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo concluded: "So our new album is supposed to really suck."
http://www.mtv.co.uk/news/daft-punk/381428-daft-punk-new-alb...

When it comes down to it they squandered amazing talent like Julian Casablancas, Pharell and Nile Rodgers to give history lessons on electronic music. The album would have been better if it had been released as a mixtape with no marketing at all.
So what is the alternative, in the comments two of them have stood out: http://www.ghostery.com/ & AdBlock. Any prefrences or any other good ones, I'm going to get rid of AdBlock Plus right now so looking for a solution.
Solar (and Wind) power both are not good base load power solutions - primarily because battery tech to store power for long periods isn't practical yet, and due to their cyclical availability.

Also to note - the framework to transfer/sell power from an area of excess to another (i.e., P2P power supply) is nonexistent, let alone trying to merge that with centralized power (for right now, you can only really sell your power to the utility - and they don't like it because it costs a lot for them to manage it).

Solar/Wind are very very important to a diverse and strong power mix (and for low stable energy prices), but combined with fission (or fusion once it's feasible) or other traditional power sources, you get a lot more stability and predictable power generation.

That would be an ironic constitutional crisis, since the Constitution makes it clear that the decision to exercise war powers is allocated to the Legislative.
