I'm not a lawyer, but I would be pretty dismayed if a court agrees that this covers withholding a password.
There is no line, except perhaps for the first one. This is why so many of us are totally against crossing that first line and giving up passwords. After that, tis a very steep, slippery slope indeed.

I suspect that the people they're trying to catch by doing these searches (pedophiles, illegal workers) are generally too stupid or lazy to bother hiding their data. At least, that seems to be the case when watching Border Security. They do actually catch a lot of people this way.

That's the best way I've heard it worded. Makes it more obvious than "pay to win."
For me the question is are there any games where you can trade time for money. Which is to say you can be just as good/powerful/equipped as any other player who spent $x by putting in y minutes of play time. And then what is the factor 'k' such that $1 = k? Basically what level does skill play in your cost of levelling.
Code generation tools like go gen are good for those situations where you have boilerplate code based on the structure of your type, like serializers, comparison functions, etc. On the other hand, these tools do not help you create abstractions or decoupled interfaces.

An analogy would be the "deriving" system in Haskell. It doesn't replace the generics system, it just complements it.

It's not very friendly to the optimizer though. In order to achieve the same performance as a templated generic version by eliminating vtable dispatch, the optimizer needs to (1) convert the recursive sort function to a loop; (2) inline the sort function; (3) promote the interface to the stack via escape analysis; (4) SROA the interface; (5) constant-propagate the SROA'd functions to their use sites; (6) inline the now-constant functions. You need a pretty powerful optimization framework with a well-tuned pipeline like GCC or LLVM in order to do all of that.

I don't for a second believe women are that delicate (there are far too many women in combat for that to be the case) but if they are as delicate as I read your comment to assume they are then they don't belong in computing - the compiler will not care how much it hurts your feelings.

The Money Shot: Product Placement in Porn Is Now a Thing
Steam Hardware listed for Nov 2015
Many parts of the world had not formed into modern nations states 300 years ago. Surely there was the rule of law in many places without the current idea of nations. There is no a priori reason the current political organization of people is eternal, or even very durable.
It's tricky because the routing is completely dynamic. You also can't use the typical hardware tricks at scale - for example providers will have more customers than available vlan numbers.

So you have to have a dedicated solution running something comparable to openvswitch in software, or interface with your hardware really fast and really often. Usually the hardware is not really built to be reconfigured constantly every second (or more often).

Once you start adding more than address filtering, you get an explosion of rules. For example in openstack (neutron), it's pretty common to just put a hard limit on the number of entries - otherwise you end up with one vm spawning and suddenly every router has to add another entry for each of the ports to each of the possible 1000s of other vms. And then clean up and keep everything consistent when vms are killed again. It really does get hard beyond the bare basics.
> Why do you feel entitled to use other people's work without adhering to their conditions?

I don't see where paulhauggis is claiming he's entitled to use other people's work without adhering to their conditions. Can you point out that claim explicitly for me? (edit: removed a stray nonsensical "it" for clarity)

> If you don't like their conditions for using it, then don't fucking use it.

This is what I generally do when it comes to GPLed libraries. Even closed source APIs generally grant me more "freedom" as a developer in how I redistribute my own programs invoking those APIs.

But hey, it's their right to release GPLed software. I make use of some GPLed software (generally only as a user, not a developer) and thank their developers for their contributions.

...but I don't think it's outrageous to find their definition of "free" a little odd, I get why it can be hard to follow their line of reasoning, and don't see the harm in trying to dig into the reasoning behind using the GPL over, say, a more permissive license such as MIT. Personally, I'm more inclined to release under permissive licenses - but this is your chance to convince paulhauggis of the merits of the former, no?
Despite this, Canada is still one of the best countries to live in, IMO. It's still safer and more free than virtually any other country in the world (including the USA). The only lack of freedom is the possibility of being shipped in handcuffs to the USA if you do something that is perfectly legal in Canada but illegal in the USA (mailing cannabis seeds or running an online gambling business for example). However even that slight lack of freedom isn't really an issue for the vast majority of people.
You need to make it commonplace so people become tolerant to it. It doesn't mean there isn't specific targeting done with private data prior to.

I avoid running near men

Here's a true story for your consideration, a little while ago, walking home through the park which is unlit, after working late, I came across a female jogger lying unconscious on the ground. I did some basic first aid, called an ambulance, and waited with her until help arrived.

If she'd seen me in the distance and veered off the track because MEN she would have collapsed in the bushes and died of hypothermia probably that night. Have faith in people and they will be there for you when you need them.

So... You're right, of course, but I think the spirit of TC's comment was that he or she doesn't like the idea of nations and thinks people just just be able to go/live wherever they want. In that sense, the two of you actually seem to agree with the core sentiment that "where you're born shouldn't matter," I don't think anyone's trying to argue that it currently doesn't.
> it's probably a byproduct of making an intelligence that can reason about itself and its environment.

See Jaynes' bicameral mind hypothesis. Even if it's most likely a mistaken theory it's still interesting as a distinction between intelligence and consciousness.
I don't think you can really learn C in a weekend. Not with all the ins and outs of undefined behavior. And if you don't know your way around the undefined behavior in C, you're going to make dangerous mistakes.
As a sample, how much do you spend on Clans? It seems hard to find people who will admit they make in-app purchases.

I play simcity buildit and I'm not tempted to buy things, I find it a challenge to get by without purchases. I can imagine as time goes by that games will get less playable without the purchases.
Most of the spam I get through to my Gmail inbox is from SEO spammers using Gmail. They keep sending the same material with the same username formats and same names, I mark hundreds of them as spam, and they still make it through.

Another large portion of my spam is from Chinese product spammers using Picasa albums and send to a friend feature. There are limited ways you can report this and despite marking almost every Picasa email I've received as spam, every single Picasa email still makes it through.
"In corporate america, you might be able to use a personal e-mail as a stop-gap measure but not as a primary communication. Not in any fortune 50 or whatevr company with compliance and security infrastructure. This is something that has changed drastically in the past 10 years."

Yes ... towards things like Google Mail for Corporations. If you make your corporate email better than your personal email, people will use it. If not, they just won't, if they have enough political power within the organization.

I speak from close exposure to white glove CxO level IT service where we do everything from ensure the biometric reader on the CEO's laptop works, to helping wire the CFO's home theatre system, getting the board chairman's vacation photos printed, and setting up all their personal devices.

If these sorts of folks don't like a system, they won't use it. They chucked the Blackberry for an iPhone. One of the reasons I've seen biometrics on a laptop is that a particular leader refused to remember a password longer than 4 digits. That alone made them prefer the corporate Lenovo vs. their personal Macbook Air.

"Most corporate hardware should be presumed "insecure" from the perspective of personal communication, and similarly so shoud any account that is used to co-mingle work and personal communication."

Bring Your Own Device is becoming popular. Every company I've worked for in the past 8 years (2/3 in the Fortune 100) allows BYOD in some form for executives, where they mix their personal and corporate communication. And sometimes for all employees.

The latest thinking in corporate security is not to lock down devices but rather to assume that ALL devices are vulnerable, with no special status for corporate assets. The solution there is to isolate in depth at the service level, with appropriate policy and device management installed for enforcing minimum standards and for emergency remote wipe. Modern apps - email, HR, reporting, order management, etc. are on the Internet, not behind the firewall... unless there's a need for NAT. Legacy can be accessed through VDI.

I admit the future here is not evenly distributed yet. But this is the trend that I see.

"In other words, it is with great risk[1] that you don't use company hardware. Unless you have duplicate systems, of course. And if you have a duplicate system that you pay for in lieu of the company, only to for the purpose of subverting company policy, you have an ethics problem."

I would say corporate IT has a usability problem.
Don't underestimate the creative capacity of small (to encode) algorithms. Perhaps development uses something like simulated annealing to create structures which match required properties. If it works like this, an exact template is not required to be encoded in the genes. In other words, the ultimate source of the design is thermal randomness, but guided by constraints encoded in the genes.
> It is always the person who makes a claim who has to provide evidence for it - it is NOT the person who disagrees with the claim.

Yes, and the claims being made in this case are that "women can do whatever they want," and "women are not in tech because women don't want to be in tech." When women were legally second class citizens in the US as recently as 100 years/4 generations ago (i.e., suffrage rights), I think that the burden of proof has to fall on the people making the aforementioned claims. Where is the evidence that there is absolutely no friction for women to choose whatever field they want? Where is the evidence that social norms have completely leveled the playing field for women in terms of salary, career advancement, workplace harassment, etc.?
One can build a http2/SPDY demo fairly easily these days. I co-wrote a SPDY library[0] that has been used in production for streaming video across the interweb to mobile devices to great success.

There is a simple server created with the library in a few lines. Try it out.

The library was built "the Go way" with the idea to support http2 as soon as it was final and we're looking to do that soon!

No, it's different.

React is a rendering engine, it's covers the final piece of your web app (rendering a data structure into DOM). But whatever you do to create the data structure that gets passed to React is up to you. This keeps most of your domain logic outside the context of React, you just use React to render data->DOM. So basically the API you have to learn is just Javascript, which most people know already and is easy to lookup answers to your questions.

With Angular your domain logic exists in the context of the framework. i.e. if you ng-repeat something you can't just filter that collection with Javascript you have to use an ng-filter to do it which is a special Angular construct. So the API you have to learn to manipulate data isn't just Javascript it's Angular. And how does ng-filter work? Well, you're tied to the Angular docs to figure it out. The Angular docs are of particualary poor quality so this coupling turns into a really serious problem if you're trying to be productive.

To me React vs. Angular isn't a matter of preference like Ruby vs. Python -- it's more like git vs. FTP where there is a clear right answer if you're trying to be productive in a team envrionment.

Oh, I see. NVM then.
Could you not backup your device, wipe it at the border, and then when they request the password simply say "There is no data on the device. Its as it comes from the factory" and hand it to them?

You could then perform an over the air recovery once safely away from the border.
Well I think the more honest part is I myself worked on part X and we the team created product Y made out these multiple parts. How big of a part you had does matter.

For example, I made the iOS UI part of this text chat app, and my team members created data models and networking code that I used to make the UI part. Another team member made the android part using the cross platform code and a bunch of others made the server part and so on. Together we made a text chat app pair.
