No, it isn't. I was a Scala enthusiast but experience has taught me to like Java and its maturity and dislike Scala's unstable complexity (maybe it's more stable now than back when I was onboard) but the language by design embraces abstraction building that is nice-looking superficially but deeply hard-to-understand when different features interplay, which also makes the tooling harder to get right.

Also, Spring is not that bad, though sometimes I have hard time to understand some of the initialization/runtime problems. Hibernate and JBoss I rather skip, and use Tomcat and Dalesbred for relational data access.

I made the same questions when I discovered All The Tropes, these are the most relevant links I found:

* The Google Incident [1] explains first-hand why TV Tropes adopted tighter guidelines against sexual fan fiction, from which several forks were created as reaction.

* The fork All The Tropes explains how they are different[2], and why they made the fork [3].

* This recent discussion at MetaFilter have lots of details and reaction from the community [4].

* These are the most juicy discussions at TV Tropes itself: [5] [6]

Original author here: You're right. It hasn't gone anywhere in 6 months, because there's no real angle on getting involved in a legal dispute. There's no money to be gained in suing TVT. And forcing them to take content offline hurts the commons perhaps more than it helps it.

The motivation behind the original blog was at least partially catharsis -- there really are no good options for copyright enforcement of open content. Sure, if it was a few lousy pages, TV Tropes could stand to lose them, but I'm talking about core pages like "Anime" and several tropes of legend initially written by my colleague.

Sure I could send a DCMA request, but they'd have every reason to fight it, and what then? Hire lawyers? Try to delete content that people thought was legal and amended, but actually turned into infringing content? Get them to delete pages on works of fiction of which I am a fan?

All of the options are awful except one: getting people to leave that illegal and immoral site. True morality isn't about protecting children's delicate eyes from textual metapornography, it's about giving back to the people who give to you -- and not just taking more from them.

I recommend either All The Tropes or the Tropes Mirror Wiki on Wikia.

It sends them a very nice rejection letter, as Heinlein notes in his 1958 Have Space Suit---Will Travel (his juveniles were intended to teach readers what they needed to know to go out into space, from attitudes to what they needed to learn. The latter was touched upon in the first, the 1947 Rocket Ship Galileo, this book gave it a very thorough treatment in the beginning when the (genius, scientist, etc.) father of the protagonist realized how awful was the public school education he was getting).

And as I can attest, there's this nice bit about how they have many fewer spaces than qualified applicants, not going into the minor detail of if you were one of the latter (I wasn't).

CalTech is very special, even more so than MIT I gather (I'm Class of '83 of the latter). Much smaller, 1/4 the class size (~250 vs. 1100), much more intense, much more science focused. Someone, commenting on how they'll clean up your room every week (a service MIT is sadly lacking in :-), said it was like a Hogwarts for science, and very simply, if you can't do magic at its level, they don't accept you.

For some historical perspective, as I understand it, at the post-Civil War beginning of MIT, most students were mastering the calculus by the end of their undergraduate program.

(And our "freaky" unit numbering is great, totally transparent, and at least at MIT there's a committee dedicated to the task of keeping professors and departments in line with the Institute's limits on work demanded, and has been known to take classes away from abusive professors. That's also done at the departmental level, as I witnessed one semester while on the EECS department's staff (took over and finished the sysadmin part of the job of moving it from Multics to UNIX(TM), with the help of one on and off student like me who was an old friend).)
Late 2011 through mid 2012 were probably the lowest points.

No, I'm not suggesting your appraiser's valuation is worse than trulia. During the bubble appraisers were valueing homes at whatever the ask was because there was nobody to say any different.

An appraiser is not a highly trained or skilled person. Their value judgement is crucial so it should be a much more involved process than it is with more than one person's opinion reflected.
One of the things I love most about Go is how everything you need comes with the language, unlike many language ecosystems where you have to depend on third parties for profilers, plugins, etc.
Indeed. This whole post is a frustrating exercise in how not to do arithmetic. It's not Kickstarter's fault that he failed to budget the vast majority of his costs -- and failed to proof the product before shipping. Maybe next time he should invest a couple thousand up front and get a competent project manager.
This is what makes me skeptical about the possibility of the virus offering general protection. We have this immune system that provides us with protection from infection if we've already had measles, to the point that it will protect the cancer too. That means that unless you get measles for the first time while you happen to have cancer, it's not going to help you. So I suspect this didn't actually come up enough in nature to have a real impact.
Clojure has libraries that implement monads, but these aren't often used for threading state. I can't quite place my finger on why, but in Clojure I rarely find myself reaching for something like the state monad, as I would in Haskell.

Clojure tends to view mutability as a concurrency problem, and the tools it provides to deal with mutability, such as atoms, refs, agents, channels and so forth, are not mechanisms to avoid mutation, as to provide various guarantees that restrict it in some fashion.

It might be that in the cases where I'd use a state monad in Haskell, in Clojure I might instead use an atom. They're in no way equivalent, but they have some overlapping use-cases.

Of course not. Reasons for demanding DRM can be different, but none of them are valid or good. As discussed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7745009 common reasons are:

1. Monopolistic lock-in. DRM is more than often used to control the market. It happened with Apple in the past, and was one of the key reasons that music publishers realized that being DRM-free is actually better for them.

This reason also includes DRM derivatives like DMCA-1201 and the like. It's all about control (over the markets, over users and etc.).

2. Covering one's incompetence. DRM is used to justify failing sales (i.e. when execs are questioned about why the product performs poorly, they say "Pirates! But worry not - we put more DRM in place").

3. Ignorance and / or stupidity (many execs have no clue and might believe that DRM actually provides some benefit). This type can be called DRM Lysenkoism.

One can put in all the safeguards they want, but you really underestimate how far private entities with seemingly-bottomless coffers will go to get a message across, especially if its traffic is lush with its target demographic. I'm not trying to be pessimistic; this shit happens everyday on reddit, and a variant of this scenario that went too far sent Digg to the grave.
You seem to have missed the portion about "locked away".

The fact is that there is a connection... isolation.

And it may result in manifestation of less severe versions of the same symptoms.

I think of the radio similar to television. For example, I can have any tv show and movie at my finger tips, but sometimes it's nice just to turn on the tv. There's something enjoyable about letting someone else make the choice. It's the same reason you might have a DVD library collecting dust, but you get excited when one of your DVD's appears on television. You just push a button, no decision of which movie to watch, and no taking time to setup a DVD.

It's similar with the radio. Any song or album is available online, but sometimes I just want to listen to music, without finding a new playlist every hour, or switching songs constantly. Music streaming services online have this covered to some extent, but there's something comforting about a box that's sole purpose is to play music, and that's where the radio comes in.

Imagine if you had a box next to you, and all it had was a volume knob and 8 buttons, each for a different genre of music. You push classic rock, and it just starts playing a non-stop stream. Get bored with it? Switch to electronic. Your only choice is which genre, and how loud. No sign-up, no advertisements, no accounts to manage, no downtime, no social media, etc.
Hitler was 44 at the time he took power, so not a youngster. Many original nazis fought in WWI, so they easily could count as old old Nazi elite by the time WWII ended.
That's why they want DRM control all the way down to the hardware.

That text was added in November 2013, way after the re-licensing took place. The first nine years of contributions to the wiki didn't include such provision.
Thirding this comment. I had my first experience last week and it was by far the absolute worst online experience I've ever had. Absolutely no automated processes outside of the scheduling, no quality control, and their 'solution specialists' not making things right in the end. I ended up having to file my first chargeback with my bank.
But right now, it's a legal cat and mouse game for both sides. With DRM, it becomes illegal for the mouse to do anything but get eaten.
Just installed this on my personal Facebook account. Really don't get how the algorithm works. It showed me one friend where I know I commented on his pics at least 2-3 times in the last week. Noticed at least 10 other people I talk to all the time.
This is one of the most important points about DRM.

DRM are marketed to users (and the society, including politicians) and to artists as a way to prevent copies. Most engineers implementing DRMs think so too. And all the discussions we've seen on HTML5 are around this. People have little arguments against this because it "sounds morally good" to help artist "live of their creations".

I am the de facto maintainer of libdvdcss, and have been involved on libbluray (and related projects) and a few other libraries of the same style; I've done several conferences on this precise subject and I've fought the French High-Authority-on-DRM in legal questioning about an unclear piece of law... Therefore, I've studied DRM quite closely...

The truth is that if you consider the main goal of DRM to prevent copies, no DRM actually work. ALL of them got defeated in a way or another. Indeed, GoT-broadcast-to-top-of-TPB time is counted in a couple of hours; so why do they try to push those technologies still?

The answer is probably because the main goal of DRM is to control distribution channels, not copy-prevention. Copy-prevention is a side goal.

This post of Ian is excellent to explain this.

PS: You can see me speaking of the same point, in French, in June 2013 here: http://www.acuraz.net/team-videolan-lors-de-pas-sage-en-sein...

NB: I'm not discussing here whether DRM are good or bad.

Based on the testimony in that video:

The Delta IV and Atlas V have overlapping use cases. The Russian engine (RD-180) is only used in the Atlas V. So it would seem that they could shift to the Delta IV once the stockpile runs out.

They also have the blueprints and specs for the RD-180. It would take a lot of time and money to ramp up production, but not as much as if they were building a new engine from scratch.

That said, I do agree that the US would probably be screwed (in the wallet) without SpaceX.

It's possible to build a website that renders itself unusable if an ad fails to load, to prevent browsers with AdBlock enabled from viewing your content. The problem with this approach is that if a single ad fails to load for any reason, the entire website goes down. Do you trust your ad network to have 100% uptime?
For pirating DRMed material? Probably because every major DRM scheme has been compromised, so it's easier to just grab the original stream.

If you're talking about in relation to the article, how would screen capture software let you skip ads? I could see it used for multiplexing, but playback on multiple devices would be tricky unless you ripped the content first.
Mailgun provides you with smtp protocol. So you can add it to Outlook and send your email. Definitely possible. Don't know how efficient it might be though.
Option c is the way to go. Up to the app developer to see how to monetize the app.

Bonus points if the end user can be identified. E.g. if the app can pass an opaque token to the web service. Reporting / billing from the web service provider groups usage by token.
I believe you meant "stoichiometric," not "stochastic." Otherwise, we could be in a bit of trouble on any given day :-)

In any case, you're correct. It's easy enough to do that I remember doing when I was about 11-12 years or so. Didn't get the mixture right and instead of an explosion (I triggered it with a string "fuze" from behind the couch), I only got a loud POP, but it was still an explosion from electrolyzed hydrogen made by a 12 year-old.

As an aside, it's recalling stuff like this that makes me wonder what my 13 year old son is doing that I don't know about...

While Market validation is a killer use of kickstarter, it shouldn't be the first validation test you do.

A professional campaign will cost some dollars. Best to get a sense of the market opportunity prior to launching a kickstarter.

Plus, pre crowd-funding validation done right will result in a pile of emails and interested persons to help kickstart your kickstarter.

It's also a great reason to get people talking about your project. Pairing a remark worthy product with a kickstarter campaign can be the story that gets you covered around the internet.
This is the comment you should have made originally. Your initial comment comes across as little more than an unsuccessful attempt at a funny one-liner. Here's what pg has to say[0] about those kinds of comments:

"The most dangerous form of stupid comment is not the long but
mistaken argument, but the dumb joke. [...] Whatever the cause,
stupid comments tend to be short. And since it's hard to write a
short comment that's distinguished for the amount of information it
conveys, people try to distinguish them instead by being funny."

Or did you intend your initial comment to be serious? If so, perhaps you can explain how you believe that working in vim is tantamount to solitary confinement. Is someone forcing you to be alone while you use a text editor? In other words, are you being actively prevented from working alongside other people? Does using vim isolate you from other sensory input?

I'm not a huge fan of Rails architecture neccesarily, but I have to admit I have trouble following the 'hexagonal architecture' stuff, even in simple examples like this.

It does seem to be a lot of abstraction. Of course, with abstraction comes flexiblity, that's the point, I get it. But with (some kinds? all?) abstraction also comes complexity and cognitive load for the developer. If you're not careful, you end up in Java FactoryGeneratorFactory land.

(I hope the next step in the 'hexagonal architecture' isn't using an XML file to specify all the linkages and concrete classes in use. How else do you specify what concrete @db etc your controller is instantiated with?)

The people who will pirate are going to pirate regardless, you could offer all your movies DRM free for $1 each and some people will still pirate them.

So the purpose of DRM is to make maximum revenue from those who won't pirate, for example by charging more for group viewings of the movie or viewing on multiple devices.
