Yes, other countries have silly laws. I'm sure if you set up a blog complaining about the king of Swaziland, for instance, and his predilection for selecting an additional wife, willing or not, every year from the selection of bare-breasted virgin teenage girls paraded before him[1], you might not want to visit that particular corner of Africa.

But the reach of Swazi or French laws is limited unless you visit Swazi or French soil. And in the case of the French libel law in question here, I'm not clear it would even preclude a visit to Paris. Do you have any citation for the proposition that a visitor would be arrested for what would be a civil tort?

BTW, if he fought it in France, he would lose. See yesterday's "due process" discussion. If it's a bad law, due process helps you not one whit.

Chrome's API don't have this. Chrome == Chromium, and there's nothing else under the sun that either have it or want it.

HOWEVER - Chrome has the largest marketshare by far, thus enforcing whatever it wants. Knowing competitors will not pick up the functionality because "its really made just for Chrome, not for the open web", that's called "extinguishing" competitors. But I'm sure everyone is all too familiar with that concept.

To be fair, at the time JS was developed, there was a body of well-documented knowledge involving camelCasing. First and foremost was, of course, Java.

Basically the important bit to remember when using dynamic languages in production is that you have to be extremely serious about writing (good) tests. It’s easy to get lazy when using a statically typed language as the compiler will do much of the work for you (especially if you take full advantage of the type system’s features). You can’t get away with that when writing e.g. JavaScript.

Too much marketing was delivered and too little technology. Compare to something like CouchDB or Riak where they really are working hard to deliver innovative scalable distributed datastores.

Plus the fact that many people gave their heads a shake and realize that you CAN do a basic key-value noSQL data store in an SQL database with a simple schema. And of course, both PostgreSQL and MySQL have responded with optimized key-value store capabilities in their databases right alongside all the SQL goodness.
It's not that hard to argue. Given there are lots of things to take into account, but Jordan averaged 2.5 more ppg than lebron, and 5 ppg if you take out the wizards comeback. Jordan also won 6 out of 8 championships, (and you know, was playing baseball for the other 2 years).

In a specifically chosen 8 year period. There were 7 years before that where he didn't win a championship. LeBron's career is far from over, and titles won by a player is surely the least informative measure of an individual player's skill anyhow.

Yep, skywing and quantumpotato have the general gist of it.

When I first started I thought it was going to be really simple, but it turns out that building a game can be quite tough. Compared to building a web or mobile app where you have lots of generic scaffolding available to you (web frameworks like RoR, stuff like UIKit for iOS that provide all the UI elements for basic apps), for a game your code has to manage every image and every interaction, so all the special cases and checks and loops add up pretty quickly.

Plus, implementing stuff like ragdolls and physics adds a lot of complexity.

Objective-C is pretty verbose, so that adds to the total.
Yeah, like more fud.
What stops root from modifying the source code to, for example, record user passwords?

It seems that, for this to really work, you'd need to run it on a machine running, i.e. SELinux and MCS. You'd have to restrict physical (console) access as well, so 1) no running it on a VM and 2) enforce the "two-man rule" for access to the server room as well.

That said, I guess it's certainly a big step up from nothing.
So this is like Adobe AIR? (FYI Adobe AIR also supports HTML in addition to Flash)

If you bothered to read the mail thread, you would see that RMS answer that specific question. The answer he gave was that Libre Officer do not have the multi-buffer system of emacs, and the core design is not made to be a lisp interpreter. As such, adding emacs like features to libre office would unlikely work effectively in the libre office project.

It would simply be easier and less work to modify emacs to do WYSIWYG, then adding emacs work flow and emacs features to libre office.

Senate rules since the 1970s (when the filibuster was set at 60) require 66 votes of all senators to effect a rules change.

This utilizes the majorities ability in any parliamentary body to set the precedent or rule on a point of order. hence the 'nuclear' option.

I don't want to hijack this thread, but I've found parameterized roles fit my use case perfectly. However, a couple related things caught me out earlier tonight: both the apt_key 'file' parameter, and 'with_file' seem to ignore the roles search paths. I have an apt role which handles installing the package keys, adding and updating repositories, and installing a list of packages. Passing e.g. 'nginx.key' from the nginx role wouldn't work, as they looked only in roles/apt/tasks rather than roles/*/files as I expected. Passing a full path worked. (If I remember correctly! I'm a little hazy on the exact details now, although if this isn't as expected I can do some legwork tomorrow and raise a bug.)

Thanks very much!
The cloture rules have only had significant changes twice in history. Once in the 1910s when they were instituted and later in the 1970s. The fact that the senate requires unanimous consent has nothing to do with any purpose but is basically a quirk of history that the senate never got rid of the unanimous consent requirement. What we call a filibuster today is just a use of withholding unanimous consent to block a motion that would otherwise pass with a majority vote and isn't related to the use of the filibuster in the 19th century.

>>I suspect moderates (and more senior folk) in both parties will tend to threaten a nay-vote on more extreme nominees

In cases where very ideological nominees have been presented in recent years there is no evidence that moderates have been prone to block them. So it isn't clear now what a senator could gain could gain by blocking his own parties nominee. It would require enough senators from the majority party to switch and vote against their party and maintain that united opposition against a candidate whose ideology they agree with simply because they may have qualms about how extreme his ideology is.

> How would any closed source (secrets) Mathmatica
> be a better option than an open source language (Sage)?
> Really want to understand the thought process.

Probably because it does something Sage can't do. I can think of several reasons why I'm attached to Mma.

1) It has a great help system. Having 3 to 100 examples per help entry, and a See Also section in every single one f them is invaluable, at least for me. I almost can't use any other language's help system after using this one, because it's so good. Good yet simple; nothing prevents others from maintaining at least Examples-driven documentation but almost nobody does that, and I'm not aware of a single other documentation model that would include [consistently] both Examples and See Also sections. With its interactivity and tutorials on top, MMA's DocCenter is completely unbeatable.

2) Sage is for mathematics, Mma is for everything. That's what Wolfram says, and that's what programmers usually giggle at. Ask non-programmers, like me, about it. I use Mma for everything, and I can't imagine using Python instead. I actually feel rather weird explaining this on HN. Have you read about Blub Paradox in “Beating the Averages”? Mathematica vs Sage is Lisp vs Python. Of course I'd never use Sage. Wolfram language is really good: I use it as a basic markup for every piece of structured data that I need to write down in everyday life. I can't think of any single alternative here: other markup languages I know of are way too clumsy for this.

3) Mma has a unique interface, a mix of GUI and CLI. Nobody else has that. IPython Notebooks is a (surprisingly late) attempt to mock it, but for me it looks a bit like an exercise in sympathetic magic: for example, they've copied In and Out labels that are actually Mma expressions, that is, a part of its language. Not that it's an essential part but still, it looks like IPython authors were rather clueless about what they tried to imitate. Mma notebooks themsevles are written in Wolfram language while IPython Notebooks are written in that miserable excuse of a markup called JSON.

Mathematica is Enterprise-class emacs. It's general, powerful, AND also user-friendly and good looking, unlike emacs. I can be sure that lots of people will use it who would never dive into a black hole of a terminal [until absolutely neccesary], yet all the power of CLI will be with them when they use Mma. Well, this sounds like the kind of people I want to write software for.

As for closed source, Mma is just too good for that being a crucial drawback. Besides, a truly mathematical result never depends on anything external so it doesn't matter whether you use black boxes while producing it, or not. If only mathematical result is correct and valuable, then it /must/ be self-contained.
> I'd prefer the JVM/CLR-Stacks fading away alltogether. An exhaustive Toolchain like Java has + a fairly superior IDE like Visual Studio, both targeted especially for the JS-Stack, and everyone wins.

How does everyone win by having everything on a stack that is inherently slower and has terrible support for concurrency?

> If there is enough desire, every possible language can be ported over to the JS-stack. For me it's contra-productive to have too much languages to choose from.

Having everything compile to JavaScript doesn't mean there will be fewer languages. It just means that implementing the languages and debugging your code will be significantly more awkward.
I've been working on an open resource for people interested in learning and teaching Python. I'd love some more eyeballs on the project, and I will happily accept Pull Requests. I'm happy to help you get set up on the project as well, so don't feel like you have to have a certain level of knowledge to help out; your perspective would be quite useful.

The real lesson is that there is no silver bullet. No matter what {office layout, technology} you choose, there's going to be upsides and downsides. There's no one-size-fits-all solution. We had a backlash against separate offices for a reason, and we're having the same sort of backlash now (and will likely have plenty more in the future.)

It's the price paid for what often seems like blind fad-following; rather than analyzing whether X really makes sense given the attributes of the organization (people/culture, type of work, department, etc.), it's adopted, used, and eventually, revolted against. A more thoughtful, situation-specific analysis might produce better results.
Hiring a large, full-service law firm and being surprised by the fact that a summer associate billed against your matter or that phone calls with investors weren't handled gratis is like buying a Ferrari and expressing shock when your mechanic informs you that the F1 clutch needs to be replaced and will set you back $5,000.

A service like SimpleLegal could be very useful for larger companies with consistent, significant legal spend because at these companies, spend on external professional services is almost always managed and reviewed to begin with. For smaller companies (startups included) with much lower spend and more infrequent use of services, there's never going to be a remedy for "I bought a Ferrari and didn't know the maintenance costs were going to be so high!" People who educate themselves on what they're buying before they buy almost always come out ahead of those who don't.
