To see something that seemed overall to start like a cordial discussion devolve into that was really disheartening.
Moved when? Name one generation that you think was less accepting of questionable conduct in warfare.

The long history suggests that the shows and movies are a symptom of cultural attitudes, rather than a cause. For example, consider all the media in the 1980's portraying criminal procedural protections as "technicalities." I think it was in response to the fact that, after 1960, crime per capita tripled before incarceration per capita started going up. As I said about 24--in the aftermath of 9/11, the torture-fest was just capitalizing on the anger people felt. On my college campus in 2002 there was a lot of talk about nuking the middle east and things like that, which is quite contrary to what the government was saying.
Ben Edelman has been instrumental in the fight against malicious advertisers. It takes patience and diligence to demonstrate illegal online advertising. Ben is one of the few people that does it well. That said he should go easy on this restaurant...the owner seems knowingly ignorant that he was overcharging customers.
What now? Too large, too small?

Packages were far from useless in my experience.
I don't see how packages can be worse than the lack of packages: instead of foo-bar-baz (the emacs convention), one has at least the option of writing bar-baz at best or foo:bar-baz at worst (and, if doing something naughty, foo::bar-baz).

Moreover, packages enable one to do things like lock down certain packages, e.g. for security in a multi-user system.

Knowingly and willingly facilitating crime is usually a crime in itself. As a clear example, if you pay a hitman to kill someone, you didn't do the killing, but you facilitated the crime.
So, they don't care, that right-clicks vs left-clicks is actually different data? And that tracking a bit more intelligently can reduce user frustration? So basically it is not stupid/evil, it is just lazy/evil?

(And BTW, this is a compliment to Google, as I'm asking the question. Not assuming that by default, as any other big co they've just filled with bozos.)
> You do see companies get into "trouble" where they might have picked the right hue/tier but haven't reflected upon the choice in some time. In those cases, you might see a startup dropping 60k a month on AWS services when they would have no earthly business spending more than 10k amortized on a multi-DC/added hires approach (I've observed this exact scenario).

I too have seen startups burning six figures monthly in AWS because they're afraid of buying gear, renting colo space, and hiring sys|network|linux admins.
SJW
Social Justice Warrior. A pejorative term for an individual who repeatedly and vehemently engages in arguments on social justice on the Internet, often in a shallow or not well-thought-out way, for the purpose of raising their own personal reputation. A social justice warrior, or SJW, does not necessarily strongly believe all that they say, or even care about the groups they are fighting on behalf of. They typically repeat points from whoever is the most popular blogger or commenter of the moment, hoping that they will "get SJ points" and become popular in return. They are very sure to adopt stances that are "correct" in their social circle.

The SJW's favorite activity of all is to dogpile. Their favorite websites to frequent are Y Combinators' Hacker News and Reddit. They do not have relevant favorite real-world places, because SJWs are primarily civil rights activists only online.

#1:
A social justice warrior reads an essay about a form of internal misogyny where women and girls insult stereotypical feminine activities and characteristics in order to boost themselves over other women.

The SJW absorbs this and later complains in response to a Huffington Post article about a 10-year-old feminist's letter, because the 10-year-old called the color pink "prissy".

#2:
Commenter: "I don't like getting manicures. It's too prissy."

SJW: "Oh my god, how fucking dare you use that word, you disgusting sexist piece of shit!"
Plenty of media organizations have owned and continue to own sports teams.

In fact Disney simultaneously owned both ESPN and the Anaheim Angels for a number of years before selling the team.
The benefit of living in London is that there is a super smooth gradient of rent decrease as you move further out in all directions, and there is reasonable commuter rail all the way. The downside of course is tiny rat-infested 150-year-old boxes remodeled 30 times since then, each time with a poorer job than the last. San Francisco has the upper hand here having burned to the ground more recently.

That's a variant of "information wants to be free," which is an argument from the naturalistic fallacy.

The question isn't "what's natural" or "what's easy." It's "what benefits the human condition?"

Do we want a culture where artists can make careers out of creating great art, or do we want a culture where there's no money in that so it doesn't get done by anyone except trust fund kids and people who are willing to take a vow of extreme poverty?

In most societies since the dawn of the human race, 99.9% have lived in hardscrabble poverty while <0.1% own virtually everything. Seems to me that the culture of "free" is -- a bit ironically -- taking us back there by destroying all revenue streams except those based on winner-take-all mass content aggregation. It might be the path of least resistance and it might be "natural," but it is not desirable.
In a way I agree with this at the level of a package's external interface, but I think it's nice that with CL style packages you can call your local functions by their natural name. E.g. it may be "my-package::string-split", but because it is only used within "my-package" it can always be referred to as "string-split".

Very nice! If anyone else was unfamiliar with "rem"s (root em), this short article helps: http://snook.ca/archives/html_and_css/font-size-with-rem

It also expands on the comment in skeleton.css on how font-size: 62.5% skales 1 em to be 10 px (it would appear 16 px is the default).
> I don't understand why there's so much sympathy for industrial-scale piracy

Most distribution channels make it SO MUCH HARDER to do the right thing vs grabbing a torrent. Steam has its problems, but that was the first commercial distribution channel that seemed to generate a ton of loyalty. What Steam provided was objectively better than the hassle and danger of finding a random binary.

Now days, I stick to iTunes and Netflix for movies. If it's not there, i'm not watching. If the artist isn't big enough to cut a deal with apple they may as well not exist. I'm not really sure which is better.

That's kind of a shame, because i'm willing to spend a little money to watch stuff. But i'm not willing to screw around searching for your work, then installing some ridiculous player software. I'll just go do something else instead.
Have you ever lived there? I'll answer that, no. I have, not in the suburbs, downtown Chicago (South Loop). You're wrong. Since you didn't elaborate (because you have no reasoning), that's all you're getting for now.

Hearthstone is an obvious counter point to this.

It's not about the teams - it's about the people that handle the teams.
I'm not sure if we read the same article, there seem to be several critiques:

1. Silicon valley imagines itself to be a meritocracy which is a harmful belief as this is not actually the case.

2. The pipeline problem is not the entirety of the problem and overstating it risks ignoring problems which people in tech can solve more easily.

3. Power and money are disproportionately in the hands of white men

RMS's position is that big packages = useless since you can't import and would have to qualify, and that both the Lisp Machines and GNU/Emacs would have mostly big packages.
Perhaps so, but this exchange also reflects incredibly poorly on the complainer in this case.

The elementary school that my kids attended had a couple of approaches. In higher grades, teachers paired up, and swapped classrooms so the stronger math teacher taught math to both classes. They also had "math specialists" who could float from one classroom to another, along with other kinds of special teachers and aides of various stripes.

A decent fraction of the kids learned math at home, making it hard to assess how well the school was actually doing.
That's what it's for :)
>But killing them is ok?

the human race so far narrowed it down to 2 possibilities - judicial proceedings or war following the rules of Geneva Conventions. Every other form of violence is a crime, with torture and killings being the crimes against humanity, prosecutable by any government and without statute of limitations.
Fighting games are pretty intellectually based; a huge amount of the strategy in them involves being able to 'read' your opponent and predict in a meaningful way what they're going to do, while they're trying to predict exactly the same thing about you. Whoever reads their opponent better is likely to win the match.
Yes unfortunately situations like that are fairly commonplace, but that doesn't mean there's anything fair/legal/proper about them.

I try not to take offense when someone makes me such an offer; I just lose all confidence in their abilities. If you can't even raise/hustle/scrounge-up enough cash to meet the legal minimum wage it's hard to have faith in your abilities as a CEO.

I have no problem with the idea of taking a drastic pay-cut for a startup you believe in, but there's a limit to how far your generosity should extend.
> The Republicans have issued a rebuttal. I assume this means they support torture.

> Clapper has issued a rebuttal, claiming that the report isn't neutral. I assume he also supports torture.

If I write, 'cryoshon eats babies,' and Jimbo replies, 'no he doesn't; he eats eggs, and besides he was starving,' then that doesn't mean that Jimbo supports baby-eating: it means that he doesn't believe that eating eggs is eating babies.

There is a minority report which rebuts this one, and the CIA itself have issued their own rebuttal. Now, those could be non-rebuttals entirely of the form, 'doesn't matter, it worked' or they could be rebuttals of the form, 'the worst stuff you mention never happened; the rest of it is unpleasant but legal, and effective.'

They could also be true, or false—as could this report.
Curious about this too.
He was talking about the general case, and that's still true. But there are exceptions. It's usually easy to tell that a title is linkbait; indeed, that basically follows from the definition. And users, who can and do read the articles, protest if the title is false.

The only thing we changed about titles since PG handed off moderation duty is to emphasize that it's ok to take other language from the article, such as a subtitle, a photo caption, or a representative sentence, if the formal title doesn't represent the article accurately. It's nearly always possible to do this, so it strikes the right balance between wanting informative titles and not letting submitters editorialize.

But even that is barely a change. PG mentioned subtitles in the post you quoted.
The proprietor also had the opportunity to credit back the customer's money twice - having the wrong advertised prices on a menu is the proprietor's mistake. In the first response, the owner should have offered to credit back the $4 not just send an updated menu. This likely would have diffused the whole situation. And then on the second reply when asked for $12 he shouldn't have just offered $3 (not even the full amount). It's an antipattern for running a small business to not honor a lower price if an employee (or website) misquoted a lower price than is usual. And in most jurisdictions it is also illegal.

Solve Problems that Hurt
It could be for a lot of reasons. Busy with other things, lazy- or even about things like performance. Once upon a time I remember when their home page was heavily stripped and used unterminated HTML (e.g. no </body> tag) as part of an effort to minimize bandwidth and improve latency.

I don't know why, but especially when something is following the default behavior I do not assume malice.
What if I'm in a good mood and the NSA believes I'm a maniac just because a telemarketer cold-called me?
It's not the infrastructure that he cares about. He believe that any provider you use should be free to run their infrastructure as they see fit, releasing or not releasing any code as they see fit. It's the fact that the software that you run, on your end, is non-free.

With Skype, you cannot connect your own client to their network; you must run their proprietary, highly secretive client.

With the phone system, you can attach any device that you want. You can use a dumb, analog phone, or a digital phone running free software, or a digital phone running proprietary software, or modem, or a fax machine, or whatever, to the phone system.

Note that this was not always the case (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carterfone, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hush-A-Phone_v._United_States).
Oh and as for Twitter and Medium - nope! Just for personal stuff on the side, though it definitely worked its way into small parts of those properties.

I honestly hadn't considered this case. Let me dig into it and see if I can find a solution that works best all around.
and even when it is public, there is still not repercussion to the people that made the bad decision.
true. i stand corrected.
I think I would like very much a namespacing system similar to .NETs, but with a few additions:

"using System.*";

Import all of the types in the System namespace as "using System;" does now, while also cutting the "System." prefix off of all subnamespaces of System. So "System.Web.HttpContext" would just be "Web.HttpContext", and "System.Drawing.Drawing2D.QualityMode" becomes "Drawing.Drawing2D.QualityMode". Currently, truncating namespaces like this is only possible for classes within the root namespace.

"using Some.Namespace.SomeClass;"

imports only the SomeClass class out of Some.Namespace. This can be done right now with "using SomeClass = Some.Namespace.SomeClass;" but I don't like to repeat myself (though the ability to rename the class is nice, so I still want to keep the "=" syntax around). The syntax "using Some.Namespace.SomeClass;" is going to be available in the next version of C#, but it will be for importing all of the static methods from a static class and making them look like bare functions. For that, I'd like...

"using Some.Namespace.SomeStaticClass.*;"

this would be the syntax to import static methods as bare functions.

Hey man, super cool to see you come back to the project after so long. Skeleton was the only understandable framework that was on the go when I started developing, and it really helped me get to grips with RWD. Every time I'd start new projects I'd come back to Skeleton for reference and now have my own extended version thats always being refined, ExoSkeleton ;)

Thanks a mil the work you put in man, Cheers!
people keep using this "new C++ devs" proviso, it's a red herring. to remind you:

> What exactly do you need to know about C, that is not part of C++, to understand C++?

why can't you memcpy classes but you can structs? it's a confederation of languages, i think coldtea's idea of representing it as a superset is excellent, you cannot understand C++ by taking out its C subset.

if that's your attitude where it's not the real reason, but you think your explanation is sufficient:

your withholding information is limiting my education and as a student i would hate that. your explanation isn't an explanation, it's an order/instruction without explanation, C++ is full of this. you only get to "why" with C.

Or, you could say that it's a common mistake by courts to think that technical details shouldn't matter.
Well, with the customer having no option to authorize or otherwise control such use is simply not true, as there is a way (albeit not well documented) to turn this feature off.

One side effect of this practice is that these wireless routers use more electricity than would a regular router generating only a single Wi-Fi network for the customer’s benefit,

I do find this an annoying practice by Comcast and would have preferred an opt-in process, but some of the claims made just don't measure up. Extra wireless congestion? How much did you measure?
From my understanding of Kurzweil's arguments: Raw increases in computing power when applied to FMRI (and other brain-imaging systems) will allow greater resolution of the brain and allow us to reconstruct it (once we can see exactly what every neuron is doing at once, we, in theory, should be able to reverse engineer the system). I don't know how true this is, but I believe he's arguing that that is the technological progression worth watching. Not any particular new discoveries just higher and higher resolution imaging.

if any of those were true, there would be no war.

in reality, everything is excused when it is against the enemy. but even then, the problem here is that 1) most things were done just out of sadism. for no real benefit. US tax payers pretty much paid for a BSDM dungeon for some sick CIA operatives. 2) several cases caught lawful citizens and great pains were taken to make it look like nothing happened.

It'd be nice to look up my individual funds to list, so I can see my investments without needing to plugin to my platform.

> Crimes aren't suddenly legal just because you do them for reasons besides profit.

I don't think anyone is suggesting that. But, at least in US law, there is a major distinction between commercial and non-commercial copyright infringement. Both are illegal, of course, but they are treated very differently.

there is no conversation to have. Only charges (of crimes against humanity which torture is) to bring in.
