>If it is shown that legislators spending time on the 20%

They are spending time on a tiny fraction of the 20%. It's utterly pointless and idiotic. You keep suggesting that 'all of these things add up', but provide no evidence that they add up to more than 0.01% of the 20%.

I eat out at restaurants many times a week. If none of them served me any water, it might save 1-2 gallon per week (assuming I didn't want the water at a single restaurant that gave it). Between drinking water elsewhere, bathroom breaks, a daily shower, dishes twice a week, and laundry once a week, we are talking about 1-2 percent of my usage at most. I eat out more than the average person, I DON'T EVEN HAVE A LAWN, and we are already down to 1-2 percent of my consumption.

To put my consumption into perspective, my weekly amount is about the same as it takes to grow 1 or 2 almonds. Are you starting to see how idiotic it is to even consider stopping restaurants from serving water is?

The fact that they even considered this as feasible shows a complete lack of basic math skills or relative reasoning. I get that some people want to feel like they are helping with the drought so they do this kind of stuff, but it's actively harmful because it gives the impression they are doing something useful.

>I do not see how ordinary people not wasting water at restaurants has any opportunity cost wrt agriculture water usage.

They are both legislated by the same group of incompetent politicians. These politicians are driven by re-election, so they will focus on things that look like helping more than things that actually help. Legislating day-to-day consumers will have much more visibility than major org water usage restrictions. People like you are the reason they get away with this. You support what they are doing because you think it helps, so they will not bother with the stuff that really helps because that's actually hard.

Debunking the Blackhat Black Market Myth
well, if you want to get into the older stuff like shakespeare I would suggest just diving in. At first, just lookup the words you dont know and after maybe one play you should have already learned enough to understand his style and language and "get" his works on their face value.

as far as literary references go - aka john milton - (basically the only reason you'd need a class), I really think you'd just have to read/know most of the greek/roman classics and the bible to be able to get most of them. But no worries, if you enjoy reading the classics are a blast, the hebrew old testament is packed with pretty cool stories (the mad king Nebuchadnezzer) and it doesn't get much better than the iliad and odyssey.

Indeed, I have used Stephen Diel's excellent tutorial as a starting point to get off the ground by taking snippets as they are, albeit with slight modifications.
Stephen's wrapper of the LLVM bindings to create an LLVM DSL in Haskell is wonderful.
Although the more interesting aspects (at least for me) such as lambdas/closures and data structures such as lists or arrays, are not covered in that tutorial, it's actually for the better as it gives you enough of a push in the beginning for working with LLVM, without overwhelming you.

Overall, it has been an enjoyable and educational (Haskell/compilers/dynamic languages/Scheme/LLVM - wise) experience.
Quite noticably, my troubleshooting time was largely spent fixing compiling errors, with only a fraction of the time, relatively speaking, spent fixing runtime errors.

The policies are just saying that normal consumers have to save though. People would be plenty accepting of a policy that just said farmers have to cut back. There is no reason for shared sacrifice here. The small users (normal people) already pay a fair price. The elephants are the ones screwing everyone and we are wasting time discussing how the minority can cut back more. It's stupid.

"ignored by everyone"

Heh... wonder what your definition of "everyone" is. Another comment posted above points to data that chromebooks are forming 14% of PC sales in the US. From my personal experience, the local highschool and middle school where I live have basically mandated that each student buy a chromebook -- they don't say chromebook exactly but heavily, strongly suggest it for the low price and maintenance factors. 90+% of the students are carrying around lightweight chromebooks in their backpacks now.

Worth noting that this is a "comment is free" article, which is basically the Guardian's sanctioned area for trolling their right-on readership.

"Green energy is only possible for tiny countries that suffer from global warming and even then not really" is a fine bit of trolling and I salute the author's skill in this game.
All of the ideas suggested as alternatives are mind-blowingly unintuitive. Can you imagine an entire OS running on obscure gestures like that?

The reason the "are you sure" model has survived for so long is that it is basically perfect. A trash icon clearly signals that that is how you delete a file. The problem of accidental deletions is avoided by the confirmation dialog.

This strikes me as reinventing the wheel but badly, change for the sake of creating the illusion of progress. Yes, it's good to reconsider old dogmas. But it is usually better to start with something that is actually a problem before trying to fix it.
Adding random things at the root of a hierarchy subverts the entire idea of having a hierarchy in the first place.

Yes, coupled with a 30 second load screen after every single death. I've never played any of the other games, but I can tell you after playing this for a while that this game is not for me due to how they implement the difficulty.

Just to give you an idea, it took me 7 or 8 years to beat Kingdom Hearts 1 because of how bad the camera was. I got to a point where I just walked away. I really dislike games that are difficult due to ackward controls, cheesy mechanics (such as enemies popping behind you in an area you just cleared), that sort of thing

I played it for a few hours but I got tired of things like

- you roll and the camera lifts up so you're staring down at yourself and can no longer see the enemies you rolled from

- if you hit the enemy at the end of your range your attack pushes them back further than your characters steps forward so you miss the followup attack and they end up killing you (or hurting you badly).

- Sometimes when you attack an enemy they'll slide sideways (I say sometimes, I mean quite often). I've seen them slide so far they slide behind the camera at which point you're guessing where they are based upon where they disappeared.

- Your attacks do random amounts of damage. Sometimes it takes 3 hits to kill a mob, sometimes 4 or 5. But because every attack uses stamina, you really want to use as few attacks as possible and sometimes you die for it because that 1 random enemy required an extra hit. I never figured out why.

- the healing items appeared to give a random amount of health back.

- Some of the level designs appeared to be such that it maximized the pain of the camera. One enemy in particular I'm thinking of is big and surroundedin by innumerable unbreakable boxes and such. He wasn't that difficult himself, but being able to avoid his attack successfull due to the aforementioned boxes, etc, was a tedious chore.

I can see the appeal to the game, but it just isn't for me. And this is coming from a guy who plays most games on hard. But there's a certain kind of difficulty I don't enjoy and unfortunately this game lands right square in the middle of it.

edit:
The thing that caused me to respond in the first place.

The game moves slow overall. You kill an enemy, he drops loot, but not immediately, so you end up waiting to see if he dropped loot. If he does, you run to the body, hit X, wait for the confirmation to pop up, hit X again, and then eventually go on about your day. When you're playing the same level over and over again it gets really time consumingly tedious. Add on to that the 30 second load screen (that's not an exaggeration) and you have a game that's pure tedium (atleast for me).

It's not really new, except perhaps it being more indie now. In most (but not all) niches over the years, the paid, formal published for-profit books have provided the best documentation, right back to the 70s, through O'Reilly's catalogue (he got rich for a reason), through MSDN, and right up to now. Indeed, it's possibly better now because a single author can do it all on their own.
April fools I wanted the most:

- Water allowed on board of planes,

- ISIS converting to Christianity,

- Apple patenting the patent,

- Snapchat releasing a payment system

Not necessarily true bc that assumes constant rain. Depending in the inconsistency of rainfall, the water flow downstream will be lumpier due to the resevoir requiring a certain level of water.
I agree with you (I do the same).

However, in certain cases it's useful to have stateless sessions (or rather, moving the state to the client, using signed and/or encrypted tokens).

In this case, JWT is used by e.g. OpenID-Connect, to pass data between systems. In some of these use-cases the client is an intermediary, passing along the token.
Wow. That is truly amazing. What is almost as shocking to me is that I have never heard of this before. I have heard that Costa rica was a model for its healthcare sytem but i never heard that it didn't have a military.

>> What's the actual goal behind the attack?

The answer to that question is in the article:

"As can be seen in the code, the two targeted URLs are github.com/greatfire and github.com/cn-nytimes, which are mirror sites for GreatFire.org and the Chinese New York Times. GreatFire and NYT both use GitHub to circumvent the online censorship performed by the Great Firewall of China (GFW)."
You wouldn't take Google seriously? I'm sure they didn't fork out just for today, they will be using it for their products at some point.

In a few years, it will probably the standard domain for big corps. iphone.apple, macbook.apple, etc. It looks weird now (or an intranet address at best), but once people get used to it, it will be recognisable as a domain just as any.com is now.

Not to mention, an explosion of TLDs for reselling (.futbol .enterprise etc) means people will just equate . on billboards etc with a domain.

Your "reliability" point I'd question because a session table method is harder to attack. But I'd be willing to agree that their reliability would be on a par with each other (where session tables are weaker, JWT's excel; and visa versa).

If you don't mind me asking a few more questions, how are the JSON web tokens typically authenticated if not via a database? Or are they assumed correct?

While it would be great for him to get paid more than 5k for such high nuisance value bug, it'll be a bit difficult to figure out a metric to fairly put a price on a bug. Bug bounties are based on efforts and not on what you happen to find. Its like a lottery and it seems just about right for companies to keep a standard reward for all bugs. I really like the idea of paying for time spent+bug reward though.
It is worth noting that "Running on 100% Renewable Electricity" most likely only addresses grid electricity, not other form of fossil fuel use, such as cars, truck, boats and trains. 100% Renewable Electricity in the grid is a great milestone, but it's not 100% of energy use as the title might suggest.

I'm of the mindset from 1995-2005, computer science and software engineering didn't exist while the web matured. PHP was major player in this time, as was Perl. Perl could have "won" just the same as ColdFusion, or VBScript.

It took a decade for these web programming communities to introduce and/or build on ideas from 1958. Long before the web.

PHP is better, however Rasmus' philosophy (while ok at the time) permeates PHP's design and it hurts. It hurts a lot.
