Then you have government blessing certain types of unions for specific purposes. At a certain point, the government has to decide whether I get an inheritance tax benefit for my partner's estate and they will have to decide whether to grant that to long-term same-sex couples or restrict it to just opposite-sex partners.

Which is basically the same thing as having a set of marriage laws without the ceremony and the cake. Pointless refactoring for the sake of it.
Ok, but is this discrimination based on sexuality only? It doesn't seem so black and white to me because there is a religious objection/religious freedom component to it. This is similar (albeit a much less grave subject) to the Amish who weren't eligible for the draft because they were pacifists religion-wise.

Yes, the "we're all booked" excuse seems like a plausible, but dishonest, out. I suppose another out would be to take the order and then outsource the work to some baker who doesn't have any qualms about the nature of the work.
> You could most definitely run elastic workloads in your own datacenter now using Docker containers

Have you actually done this though ? Because I have extensive experience with both Docker and OpenStack and I am sorry but neither comes close to AWS for stability and reliability. They are both really buggy.

Also you seem to be completely missing the either side of AWS which is the software. Using ELB, SNS, SQS, RDS etc. can save a lot of money.
The immediate difficulty comes when we as religious citizens have trouble with separating what is civilly permissible with what is a religious ideal.

Indeed. You, or any other religious group, can have whatever prohibitions you believe in your own lives, homes and churches. Different groups can have different prohibitions. However, they must therefore be kept separate and out of the public law and state, because that space can only accomodate one or zero religions. The US constitution specifies zero: no establishment of religion. This enforces a ceasefire between the doctrines that would otherwise fight to be the one doctrine that has control of the state, as Europe experienced during the Reformation and Islam is experiencing in the Sunni-Shia conflict.

For decades if not longer it was non-straight people who were deemed unworthy and not allowed freedom from persecution by the religious supermajority. There really isn't a desire to put the boot on the other foot - provided you don't condemn people.

Perhaps if the spiritual and temporal benefits of marriage were entirely separable this wouldn't be a problem. But the UK tried it with civil partnerships and it was so obviously a "separate but equal" (ie not equal) arrangement that full equal marriage was enacted.
What are the differences between an M-16 LR and an AR-15 LR? Is there anything that's keeping them from manufacturing select-fire M-16 LRs? Are the other parts of an AR-15 (e.g. barrel, stock, UR) incompatible with an M-16 LR? I don't understand why they would machine semi-auto AR-15 LRs if they have all the tools necessary to build their full-auto/burst counterparts.

Probably because it is extremely implausible: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2516429/

And let's be clear about this: you have claimed lithium "will destroy the kidneys, eventually leading to death". This is the claim you made, not some other unrelated claim, and it is wildly implausible.

A plausible but completely unrelated claim is, as reported in this paper: "lithium can be safely prescribed over a protracted period of time, even in elderly populations, but should be monitored closely under specialist supervision, to ensure early identification and management of adverse effects."

This proposition offers no support whatsoever to the claim that lithium "will destroy the kidneys, eventually leading to death". It is not evidence for it, it is contradictory to it.

I'm over-emphasizing this because I've too often seen people make wildly implausible claims like the one you have made and then try to claim that some totally unrelated but plausible claim like the one in this paper somehow supports their position. It does not. Your position is not in any way supported by a paper that directly contradicts it.
>Inheritance should be simple enough with normal contracts, regardless of marriage

No. United State v Windsor (the DOMA case) proved that. Spouses have estate tax exemptions. Windsor sued the IRS for $363,053 in estate taxes that she paid to them because the IRS didn't recognize her and her wife as legally married for tax purposes even thought New York did.

Civil marriage is a form of a "normal contract."

From the article:"

Laziness:

The quality that makes you go to great effort to reduce overall energy expenditure. It makes you write labor-saving programs that other people will find useful, and document what you wrote so you don't have to answer so many questions about it. Hence, the first great virtue of a programmer. Also hence, this book. See also impatience and hubris. (p.609)

Impatience:

The anger you feel when the computer is being lazy. This makes you write programs that don't just react to your needs, but actually anticipate them. Or at least pretend to. Hence, the second great virtue of a programmer. See also laziness and hubris. (p.608)

Hubris:

Excessive pride, the sort of thing Zeus zaps you for. Also the quality that makes you write (and maintain) programs that other people won't want to say bad things about. Hence, the third great virtue of a programmer. See also laziness and impatience. (p.607) "

Someone I know built a working Memex: http://trevor.smith.name/memex/
Look at a 5 year chart. The SSE was simply over-bought. Any trader would tell you that.

Now why was it over-bought? Part of the reason is because of the Shanghai-Hong Kong market link, which drove massive amounts of volume into Shanghai, and traders took advantage by taking on large margin accounts. When the savvy traders started booking profits, the rest were left to try cover their positions.

The Hang-Seng (Hong Kong) dropped too, but by far less because it was priced much better.

Anyhow, this has nothing to do with the Chinese economy, or even stock fundamentals. It's just that equity prices were driven up too high by traders.

>People on both sides of the debate agree (if given the option) that the government probably never should have messed with marriage, at least not as the cultural/religious thing that it is.

They don't actually believe this, they only say they do. Take any person who says "Get the government out of marriage!" and ask them if they'd like to pay higher taxes and give up the rights that come with marriage. They'll say, "Well, no..."

Simply put, the libertarian cry you suggest is red herring. It's a way to disguise a disgust for gay marriage by making it sounds like you're for "smaller government." If they really believed what they said, they'd have gotten married in a church and then just never filed the documents with the state. Remember, you can get married in a church and not have it recognized by state. Gays were doing it for years.

"The Union possessed features unique among contemporary states. Its political system was characterized by strict checks upon monarchical power. These checks were enacted by a legislature (sejm) controlled by the nobility (szlachta). This idiosyncratic system was a precursor to modern concepts of democracy, constitutional monarchy, and federation."

> The wonder of childhood is the opposite of the cozy vision of “Inside Out”

That may be a key quote. Kids movies, and Pixar movies (which often are, or used to be, for adults as much as for kids) don't need to contain simplistic world views; they need simple and layered presentation, but the world may be rich, and the characters and situations be driven by nuanced and sophisticated themes under the colourful hood. Toy Story 2, The Incredibles and Frozen, in my opinion, are shining examples.
Your threat model seems to be that anyone who sends input to a sandboxed app should be assumed to have full control of it. But the apps frequently process input without wanting to give the sender of that input access to all its resources.

By your analysis, Gmail could implement a feature that lets a sender run arbitrary JavaScript in the recipient's browser, and this would have no security impact as long as the JavaScript sandbox was not escaped. But in reality this would be a huge breach, because there are valuable things inside the sandbox that attackers should not have access to.

Put another way, this wouldn't help defend Chrome from NaCl, but it would help defend the NaCl app from it's clients. This would be in Google's interest to implement because it would make the platform more attractive to developers.
There are always exceptions so I don't fee the need to explicitly call that out. But I do submit that it's more like most than many.

Not until the meaning of marriage changes in people's heads too.

For some years my gay friends were "civil unionised" and I always had to do this two step in my head from the words to the meaning I had for life long loving partnership that still has blazing rows and .... You know - Marriage.

So, this is not about religion (really this is from a country where most people under 60 attending church are doing so they can get their kids into the associated school) - it's not about the tax laws, it's about what society sees, expects and hands out to a married couple.

It makes a difference - there is a difference between a couple who are "to all intents and purposes" married and a couple who are married. Because for the 95% straight relationships out there we read something into why that couple has not gotten married. And we are then forced to read the same into a gay couple. That's why marriage matters. Living together is not quite the same. And we know it.
Interesting. I take a similar approach, but then I add testing (which usually coincides with fixing some bug).

Find an entry point to the system, then make it compile, then make the test run, then just keep on nudging the code until I'm satisfied I've covered what I'm interested in.

If I stay true to my mantra "only add test code when it is absolutely necessary" (is this argument needed? pass null and find out), I find an accurate (albeit not pretty) description the flow through that procedure.

Then you commit your test and save your discovery for posterity.
> and I am sorry but neither comes close to AWS for stability and reliability.

All of my instances in us-east-1 lost outbound connectivity Sunday morning for half an hour, and an hour last night. Tell me about this stellar stability and reliability.

As long as you design your application properly, it'll be reliable wether you run it in AWS, on OpenStack, or even bare metal. StackOverflow does it, you can do it too (they colo all of their equipment in NYC). I have not done this with Docker or OpenStack, but I have using Xen and KVM virtualization (Docker would be about the same as using lxc).

ELB? Haproxy. RDS? MySQL/Postgresql/MS SQL (in that order), unless you absolutely have zero management experience with it. I concede SQS and SNS have no open source counterpart; you'd have to roll your own.
Mostly as a debugging aid. Stringifying the symbol will let you get at the internal string, which can be useful for tooling, introspection, etc.

I usually work on more traditional command line applications and daemons so my approach might be a little different to a web developer.

I always start by gauging how much source code there is and how it's structured. The *nix utility "tree" and the source code line counter "cloc" are usually the first 2 things I run on a codebase. This tells me what languages the applications uses, how much of each, how well commented it is and where those files are.

The next thing I usually do is find the entry point of the program. In my case this is usually an executable that calls into the core of the library and sets up the initial application state and starts the core loop and routine that does the guts of the work.

Once I have found said core routine I try to get a grasp for how the state machine of the program looks like. If it's a complicated program this step takes quite a while but is very important for gaining an intuitive understanding of how to either add new features or fix bugs. I like to use my pen and paper to help me explore this part as I often have to back track over source files and re-evaluate what portions mean.

Once I have what I think is the state machine worked out I like to understand how the program takes input or is configured. In the case of a daemon that often means understanding how configuration files are loaded and how the configuration is represented in memory. Important to cover here is how default values are handled etc. I actually prioritise this over exploring the core loops ancillary functions (the bits that do the "real" work) as I find it hard to progress to that stage without understanding how the initial state is setup.

Which brings us to said "real" work. Hanging off of the core loop will be all the functions/modules are called to do the various parts of the programs function. By this time you should already know what these do even if you don't know how they work. Because you already have a good high level understanding at this point you can pick and choose which modules you need to cover and when to cover them.

It's amusing that the default behaviour of ls would be interesting to hackings.

Scalia is a devout traditionalist Catholic, and his son, Paul, is a Catholic priest.[109] Uncomfortable with the changes brought about following Vatican II, Scalia regularly attends the Tridentine Latin Mass in both Chicago and Washington, and has driven long distances to parishes that he felt were more in accord with his beliefs.[110] In a 2013 interview with Jennifer Senior for New York magazine, Scalia was asked if his beliefs extended to the Devil, Scalia stated, "Of course! Yeah, he's a real person. Hey, c'mon, that's standard Catholic doctrine! Every Catholic believes that". When asked if he had seen recent evidence of the Devil, Scalia replied, "You know, it is curious. In the Gospels, the Devil is doing all sorts of things. He's making pigs run off cliffs, he's possessing people and whatnot … What he’s doing now is getting people not to believe in him or in God. He’s much more successful that way".[111] In another 2013 interview, Scalia stated that "In order for capitalism to work, in order for it to produce a good and stable society, traditional Christian virtues are essential".[112]

In 2006, Scalia, approached by a reporter upon leaving church, was asked if being a traditionalist Catholic had caused problems for him. He responded by asking, "You know what I say to those people?", and with a gesture, cupping his hand under his chin and flicking his fingers out. The gesture, which was captured by a photographer, was initially reported by the Boston Herald as obscene.

What to know about encodings and character sets
Maybe this is just my lack of experience speaking, but I find debuggers incredibly difficult to use when dealing with interactive software (which is most software I work on). Hitting a breakpoint freezes my interaction unless I configure it to print something, and configuring it to break conditionally requires knowing some obscure incantations that I can never remember off the top of my head (and that in turn require their own debugging). So it boils down to: should I spend 5 minutes figuring out how to set this conditional, print-only breakpoint? Or should I just put in a printf? The solution, at least to me, is obvious.

(With that said, when I have a nasty bug that requires squishing around in the guts of my program, breakpoints are invaluable. But it's a pretty huge hammer that only comes out on occasion.)

EDIT: I wonder how useful an editor that allows inline debugging code would be? Instead of setting breakpoints in your IDE and then configuring them in an individual window, you'd enter a "debugging editor" mode that would allow you to add debugger-only code for things like conditional breakpoints and printf statements right alongside your normal code. The original source files would not be edited, but while in this mode, it would appear as if they were. (Maybe the debugging code would show up in red.) That way, you could easily access all your local state and implement complicated queries without ever leaving the context of your code. In other words, it would be just like printf debugging, but once you no longer need to debug you'd just collapse those statements out by leaving the debugging editor mode and your original code would be unchanged. Perhaps this debugging code would not compile along with the rest of the code but would instead use the debugging hooks that normal breakpoints use, unless the conditions are particularly complex or something. Just a thought.
