Per the explanation linked in the discussion [1], the initial file generates code in another language. That code, when executed, generates code in yet another language. The process continues until the output is the code of the original file.

Not a bad idea if they want to change strategy and push the company in new directions.
No, I'm not saying they shouldn't. I'm saying that the reason feminism has won so much isn't because we are in some enlightened society (though it helps), but because we were lucky enough to have two enormous wars which gave women the leverage they needed to demand equal rights, and that feminists have so far been asking for things which they should have (which wins a lot of public support, from both men and women).

The good guys don't always win, especially if they stop being seen as the good guys.

I'm tired of this example. AFAIR, Yahoo got a valid court order to turn over information, and they complied because they had a presence there. No other company: not Google, not Microsoft, not AOL would have done anything different.
While blowing my cover a little, here's an anecdote about LUKSfs-encrypted drives:

I was arrested sometime in early 2011 (let out after 7 hours without charges, which was a fun story in itself). In my pocket, they found two USB sticks. one was a Linux Mint LiveUSB. The other USB stick was encrypted via LUKS. The police could have booted of the LiveUSB, and then inserted the second USB to decrypt it. if they had decided to force me to divulge my password, they would have found all sorts of incriminating things to keep me for longer.

However, this did not happen; when inserted in the police's Windows PC's, they merely popped up a "This drive is not formatted. would you like to format it now?" message. Naturally, they clicked "no" and gave me back the stick. I owe a part of my freedom to Microsoft's and my local Police's devotion to the Windows OS.

TL;DR - LUKS not working in Windows OS is a feature, not a bug.
> Desired is what we are talking about.

You have no way of knowing that, and even if you did it's uninteresting to talk about because 'doing what you desire to do' is the universal struggle of humanity. Yawn.

> It seems you would have women choose between their career and their child.

I thought you were getting it and now I see the point has missed you completely. Listen carefully, this is important: women should be free to choose the proportions they desire, whether that's 90% work 10% mothering, 70/30, 50/50, 0/100, x/y. But they can't, because while you can be a 10% mother fairly successfully by using daycare and public school, you can't be a 20% "career woman". Your choices are either to be full-bore into your career at the expense of everything else, part-time somewhere in which case your paycheck doesn't cover daycare so why bother (oh and now you can't afford a house, sorry), or abandon your career aspirations altogether. Actually, some women manage to get pretty close to 90/90, but if you can show me someone who's done that for 18 years I'll be impressed, I can't find any. Having extended family around helps.

> Calls of "Or choose to do only mothering?" are the problem, not the solution.

Completely wrong, but you might have misunderstood what I said above which was that women should feel free to choose only mothering, if that's what they want to do. Surely advocating that women be able to do as they choose isn't the problem?

Note that this doesn't apply exclusively to women, men have the same battle but it's of course socially acceptable (expected) for men to sacrifice family for career, sorry champ, not gonna make it to the big game, daddy's got to bring home the bacon. We did it to ourselves, though. If you still don't get it reread my comment and substitute "women" with "everyone".
I love simple api's like this. Its kind of the same mental model I keep around http://jsonip.com. A simple service that does one thing really well. Its been working well and has grown to millions of requests a day.

The kernel numbering system changed when Linus moved over to v3. Basically the switch from 2.4.x to 2.6.x was the last major change to the Linux kernel. Since then, all the 2.6.x releases have been pretty standard incremental updates. So a few months ago Linus decided it was time to switch to v3 - just to round the numbers off (it wasn't a big nor noteworthy release - it was just an excuse to round the numbering off). So now the the second digit is what used to be the 3rd digit in the 2.6.x releases.
I'm interested in the ideas presented here but wish the author had just written an article with practical examples of stacks that can facilitate this architecture. Presumably this is what tools such as core.async and channels in clojure are trying to solve. The fact that this is presented as a 'manifesto' without much in the way of practical advice seems a little bizarre. Given the ...err... 'signatories', this appears to be coming from the Typesafe guys, so where are the examples in scala?
CSS:How To Create Fixed Position Share Box
In kind is particular tricky legal aspect regarding software. In a previous comment, I wonder if services that take data as payment in exchange for service should be taxed. It would put pressure on companies like google to either stop taking in data, or pay per data point. I can see however that taking that viewpoint would put many other tit for tat in question.

So, as far as in kind is viewed by the state, software has been left alone.

So anyone can increment your counter without you knowing? Seems like this means you can never rely on the count being right.

I'd really just like professors to grade things with some amount of expediency. You have TAs to help you with the work, and we had a deadline for getting it to you. Since my cost-benefit analysis on how much work I'm going to devote to your class versus another class is directly proportional to my grade on previous assignments, too long of a delay can wildly impact grades.

What is unclear to me is how the final program manages to represent the entire code (thus the entire language loop). Wouldn't doing that make the source code recursive and infinite? Or am I missing something important?
Might be worthwhile to point out that even if it should turn out to be true, this doesn't imply that male CEOs were paying their female employees unfairly before they had daughter. It would just show that they paid women more afterwards than before (which could be discriminating against men, for example). Perhaps they even just paid men less, or earned less themselves (perhaps daughters require more time spent with family or whatever), thus dragging down the averages. I have not read the actual PDF yet, though, only the newspaper summary.

This is kind of brilliant. Famous author, with a lot of pressure to write the next great novel, decides to test out the reaction to her books before announcing who the real author is. Who knows, maybe she released a couple of other books that didn't do well, and we will never know because she didn't take credit for it.

This should be in MOMA.
Incrementing or decrementing a counter is neither side-effect-free nor idempotent, and GET should generally be both, so you really shouldn't use GET for those operations. [1]

POST would probably be the usual choice for these operations. (Though, since you aren't really creating a subresource but are instead performing a defined transformation on an existing resource, you could probably make a case for PATCH.)

Web APIs are protocols implemented on top of HTTP, and should respect the semantics of HTTP unless there is a clearly-identified compelling reason not to.

No more recursive or infinite than any other self-replicator that has intermediate "bodies".

Of course, the range issue is only due to an already existing fuel-distribution network in place built over decades.

It could well be that Tesla's goal would be to disrupt that fuel-distribution network, first by selling great client devices (i.e., cars) and then implementing and selling access to the network that provides current petroleum cars with "near-infinite range"

Wouldn't that be living up to your image/name?

That makes sense. As I said in my other thread, I locally deal with that problem by passing null instead of a primitive (though admittedly, I would probably use a primitive in cases of bool).

That said, in this circumstance my method sounds more like a hack and yours the cleaner, correct route.
"A colleague had a student mutiny because he refused to put up his lecture slides for download. The students were complaining that they had to copy lecture notes from a friend if they didn't show up."

Everyone has sick days from work. When you take a sick day, your work is sitting there when you get back. It hasn't moved.

Students don't have that luxury. The material keeps marching on without them. So not only are they having to learn material they aren't properly prepared for, they also have to go back and relearn what they missed.

Providing slides online in the 21st century is literally one of the most basic things a professor can do. Literally. Install dropbox, put the slides in the dropbox folder. Make the folder public. Done. This requires zero technical know-how, and maybe 2 minutes of signup?

The unwillingness to do that is indicative of a bad professor. Barring unreasonable requests, a professor should try to enable students to do well.

As far as saying, "just get them from a friend." This presents a few problems.
1. You need to have a friend in the class. Not always the case.
2. That friend needs to be there. Sickness travels through social groups very effectively. My friend is more likely to be sick than I am.
3. That friend needs to be at least on my level of competency for the notes to be meaningful. Not everyone's friends are as smart as they are. In fact, unless all the friends are of identical intelligence, this must be the case.

Just put the damn notes online. How lazy can you really be?
Yahoo Gets Special Recognition for fighting for your data Privacy
Yes, it is overused, that's why i used it. The last sentence was not serious, but a caricature.

> With women, there's a strong focus on their attractiveness that doesn't exist for men.

Except there is not in this text. As i said, it is very balanced, if there was not the picture.

Your posts illustrates exactly what i said. Any mention of attractiveness leads to accusation of misogynist (or sexism towards woman, I have to say I don't really know the difference), no matter in witch context. No matter how the author does this for all genders, at some point somebody points out that "all genders" in include woman, and that this is not ok. And clearly discrimination to include women into "all genders".
There's nothing stopping employers from making the practical decision to employ underpriced women yet couch it in the rhetoric of feminism and diversity ("Diversity is important to us, and that's why we want to employ as many qualified women as possible.") This gets them a PR and economic benefit.

In fact, many new-economy juggernauts like Microsoft, Google, and Facebook do precisely this. Their employee marketing aggressively recruits women. Are they doing this out of the goodness of their hearts, or because they see an economic opportunity? Ultimately it doesn't really matter - the effect is that more women get employed in positions of power. But it's quite possible that the economic arbitrage that people are pointing out is happening in practice, right now, you just don't hear about it because most arbitragers are not dumb enough to let you know what they're doing. And the effect, over a long time scale, is that businesses run by bigots are replaced by businesses with a more accurate perception of personal productivity, which leads to a more equitable world for everyone.

Mark Thomas is hilarious.

Surely the Debian Foundation can see that an init project that can support more than one kernel/OS, pretty much as Debian does with Hurd and kFreeBSD, would be a better platform to support through the long term.
It is quite easy to check the correctness of code excerpts, and implementing a piece of code can mostly be considered the analog of a theoretical calculation (we might make mistakes, but in principle you just have to turn the crank and do it right).

Otoh, with scientific experiments, it is critical to ensure validity and correctness so that further research may be built on a solid footing. Unlike code, it is not easy to "fork" and verify someone's work. So some form of peer review and verification are crucial.

It's not just about openness (scientists have arXiv, PLOS, etc) or about formats/systems (LaTeX is as good as anything else). It's fundamentally about the need to ensure correctness, to establish a foundation for future work.

An actually answer to the OP that fulfill the requirement of the requested license.

MIT license do not fulfill, as it require copyright notice and permission notice.

Perhaps it's for the same reason there would be no (FOSS) Intel or Radeon support, due to the FreeBSD kernel lacking features needed by those drivers.
However in FB9 they did get around to supporting KMS and are in the process of porting the latter over with the former already working.

My only concern would be if the developers flat out said no about going with a more permissive license, although I don't really see why they would do so as it is a program with limited applications outside of its intended role.

>It's too bad so many of the games of the NES or SNES era could probably never be republished due to rights issues.

Or is it? Those games are at most a few megs in size, which means that one can download the library of all SNES games ever made in a few dozen minutes; additionally, emulators are "fairly easy" to implement on new platforms.

This alone guarantees that 30 years from now people are likely to be playing SNES/GBA/NES/etc. games on their hardware of choice. I wouldn't make the same bet about subsequent platforms (like Game Cube, PS2, Xbox, etc.) given a) the bigger size of game files and b) how much harder it is to emulate those platforms.

So those old school games are safe in the distributed hands of the underground emulation community; we don't need publishers here :)
The symbol of note is not "The Star of David", but instead Ouroboros, the eternal snake... symbolized by a snake eating his own tail.

I believe he chose the symbol Ouroboros to represent the "immortality through change" of the code. In one story... Ouroboros was an immortal snake who constantly shed his skin, and took on many forms.

Similarly, this code constantly changes form, yet is immortal. While it changes form, it manages to keep its identity.

The Star of David is incidental. As far as I know... it was added to the Ouroboros symbol in the anime/manga Full Metal Alchemist, but that rendition is perhaps the most famous artistic rendition of Ouroboros in recent culture.

Ouroboros had some connotations in the classical psudo-science of Alchemy as well. So perhaps there is an earlier version of Ouroboros + Star of David.
