They have. In the form of either blogs platforms, frameworks or ecommerce platforms.

Wordpress as a blog platform is still OK (personally not my cup of tea) and as a simple CMS is "OK", but it tries to do too much.

Enterprise-level websites running on Wordpress with shopping carts, customized ordering systems, etc are hacky as hell.

Search engine traversal of JS-only sites is still imperfect; the problem of crawling a site that's dynamically generated from Javascript alone is probably Turing-complete :)
Even admitting that there can be some taxes that are less kosher than others even if legal, how is that the cars here? How is this different than any other consumption tax?
Exactly - just add something equivalent to

alias c99="gcc --std=c99"
alias gc99="gcc --std=gnu99"
alias c++11="gcc --std=c++11"
alias g++11="gcc --std=gnu++11"

and so on to the compile distribution, and leave "gcc" and "g++" at their current defaults for legacy code. If the changes between the dialects are different enough to have compatibility issues, then it makes sense to actually treat them as different languages with different compilers.
Exactly. You can do it, but it doesn't feel right.
you're certainly implying that lots of people do that, but really it's only a small vocal minority.
How is Wordpress 'terrible'?

I can launch a full-functional website and manage all of the users and even have a shopping cart with checkout for under $200. Pretty much everything I ever want to add onto to it (SEO, optimization, etc) has already been written in the form of a plugin and is usually free.

I will admit, the internal code leaves a lot to be desired, but in terms of the ecosystem, I haven't found anything better.
what generation is that? What counts as generational in something as fast moving as our ecosystem?
No problem.

Like I said, you do have a very good point. I am often frustrated by the realization that my laptop is much more powerful than this specialized data collection equipment. But we have a very large fixed base of equipment, with no plans to upgrade anytime soon.
I am not so optimistic.

Might be, that part of it was because of the will to unite Europe, but it was from the beginning at least "well meant, but very badly executed".

What we have seen in the last five years, was growing resentment between Southern- and Middle-Europe because of the Euro. The "unity" of Europe is more endangered by the Euro, than rescued, as much I see now.

Idealistic goals can not make up for lies (about the security of the Euro, where no measures where really taken serious) and extreme poor execution. Some countries where taken in the Euro, just because some countries wanted to counter the influence of Germany. That is not idealistic, but purely old, dirty power politics.
Cormen & Rivest's Introduction to Algorithms is a solid and decently paced book that covers a lot of what you would realistically need to know to start working in CS, as far as theoretical knowledge is concerned, and will give you the tools to understand the merits of new algorithms and data structures as you encounter them.

After that you should try to get through Ullman's Introduction to Automata Theory, the dragon book and Sipser's Introduction to Computation Theory.

Those are the 'core' elements of a CS education, although it misses everything to do with how your computer and OS actually works, but I don't know what to recommend for those.

Spoken like a true gentleman, and you raised a few good points. I still feel that there's a difference between physical property and "intellectual property" - probably because "intellectual property" is mostly licensed. It's the licensing that sets apart "intellectual property" and it's the giant, state support for enforcement of licenses that makes the difference. If we talked about people leasing or renting software or music, it might make more sense, but licensing something to a consumer, all the while encouraging them to think they've bought it, seems like a recipe for disaster.

The other thing about "intellectual property" is the distinct possibility of independent invention. Even if we disallow my use of my own capital hardware to make a duplicate via some state financed mechanism, there's still a very real possibility that someone else also invented the "intellectual property" in question. Several people invented the steam engine. Several people invented the telegraph, at more or less the same time. Someone in the Bronze age seems to have invented safety pins. Algorithms get independently discovered all the time - see KMP string matching for a classic, but there's certainly a lot of others. A bunch of people discovered continuations at different times. How do we stretch the idea of property to cover all this? This seems like it will lead to trouble.
Synthego | BioTech | Redwood City, CA | ONSITE

At Synthego, we are looking for people who want to help build a fully-automated, research facility that moves, mixes, manipulates, and analyzes molecules and cells. The vision is that biologists won't need their own labs anymore - they'll go to a website. Instead of doing manual labor, they'll write code.

We're looking for badassery in the following areas:

1) software engineers - mostly Python

2) mechanical engineers

3) roboticists

4) wet lab technicians with experience in chemistry or biochemistry labs

5) Operations folks to help setup our our automated lab

6) Anyone else who kicks ass in significant technically deep ways in an engineering or scientific discipline.

In general, we have—and are continuing to—build a team of extreme technical and scientific ass-kickers, in a joyful, bullshit-free, you-own-it kind of environment. We are backed by Founders Fund, and located in Redwood City, CA email us at join@synthego.com for more information.
I was heavily on the BSD bandwagon before wandering over to Linux due to commercial/job needs. I'm happy in pretty much both environments. But, personally, I believe systemd doesn't follow the UNIX philosophy of do one thing week. It is an ecosystem/environment/framework of it's own. Not my cup of tea.

Launchd on Mac seems a bit cleaner, from my experience, than systemd.

I suppose that it would be that easy if we were hosting a website. We make an online game though so the general solution isn't going to work for us.

Sure, in principal it's the same but it's going to require a fair bit more manual implementation in our case, not to mention added latency in a very latency sensitive application.

How the effect works is actually pretty well known, and if you take a high-quality TTS, feed it high-quality input (i.e. phonemes and intonation commands etc. rather than just English text), apply the effect, then perhaps do some postprocessing (reverb) to make it sound more like the game, it turns out you get pretty close to the real thing.

To illustrate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7-Gwg0rL0k#t=5m33s - this one's not particularly well done (and doesn't even do all those steps), but you see what I mean.
Kate is a great editor.
It used to be better in the past, nowadays there are some random bugs popping up from version to version.

> they switched from GOAL to Racket for the PS3.

That's not completely true. GOAL was their replacement for C. When they were bought by Sony, they were required to switch to C++ so their engine team interoped better with the rest of Sony. GOAL was low-level like C (and also manually GC'd), but macros allowed them to code at a much higher level and reduce boilerplate. This actually makes for a safer low-level coding environment as a lot of little mistakes simply don't happen.

Since they love lisp and Sony didn't specify a scripting language, they decided to write a bunch of libraries on top of racket.
Not quite. For you to be liable for it, the entity that wishes to collect from you has to be able to sue you in a court that (1) recognizes that you are liable for it, and (2) has personal jurisdiction over you.

Generally, courts of the region in which you reside have personal jurisdiction over you. So, if you and the collecting entity are in the same state, then that state's courts satisfy #2.

If you don't reside in a region, that region's courts may still have personal jurisdiction over you depending on how your activities relate to that region. There has to be some connection between you and that region, and you have to have purposefully done something to create or benefit from that connection.

As the Supreme Court put it in an important case on jurisdiction (Hanson v. Denckla), "unilateral activity of those who claim some relationship with a nonresident cannot satisfy the requirement of contact with the forum State. The application of that rule will vary with the nature and quality of the defendant's activity, but it is essential in each case that there be some act by which the defendant purposefully avails itself of the privilege of conducting activities within the forum State, thus invoking the benefits and protection of its laws."

So, getting back to the question that was at the start of this branch of the comments, if the small streaming business really has no contacts with the out of state municipality trying to collect taxes, and has not purposefully tried to get customers from that municipality, it is unlikely they would be liable for the taxes of their customers in that municipality. (But check with a lawyer familiar with your state's tax laws--you want to make sure your state has not entered into some sort of reciprocal tax collecting arrangement that does require collecting taxes on transactions between the two).

There's a lot of case law on this. Googling for "Personal Jurisdiction" is a good start if you want more on this. (And while Googling, be sure to take some time to make sure that Hanson v. Denckla is still good law...I haven't checked to see if it has been overturned or superseded).

I am a software developer with 2 years of experience developing video games. I've mostly used Unity3D game engine, but I am looking to branch out and especially looking for a c++ position. I am also willing to work on software outside of the gaming industry (recent interest in the security related software development).
I didn't want to imply software that's not stable. I was replying to the point about wanting a big stable company to purchase from.
Still a danger for the biker. Autonomous highway traffic isn't likely to be allowed to travel ~10mph everywhere just in case a pedestrian or bicycle happens to be nearby, that just wouldn't be feasible. Creating unpredictable hazards for vehicles that can't stop on a dime isn't a good idea, be they human controlled or computer controlled.
"What the market will bear" is actually pretty low in this case (medicine for the people helped by Doctors without Borders). The whole point of patents is to artificially reduce supply to increase the price.

In Armstrong Thesis there are explicit assertion about why thread-based JVM is a flawed design.

My point was that there is a big difference between a VM for a functional and imperative language (immutability makes it and GC a lot simpler). JVM's selling points, that it is "general" and is "already here" are strong, but in my opinion, its praise is more religion-like repetition of dogmas and marketing memes.

I would like to assert that Erlang designers have made better design decisions (to avoid threading and mutation whatsoever) so Erlang's VM is much simpler, more stable (JVM crashes often, wastes memory - memory used vs. memory served ratio, and GC behavior tend to become unpredictable for long-running process) and good-enough.
TCP load balancing would also be an option in your case.
I always figured it was supposed to be a single word that started with "eli" followed by 5 letters, in the manner of i18n.

The only English words I could find matching that pattern are elicited, elicitor, elidible, eligible, eligibly, elisions, elitisms and elitists - none of which seem apt, although "elicited" is tantalisingly close. From context I always read it as "elucidate" (elu6?)

So why isn't it Elif?

This is an underpowered wrapper around https://github.com/meltingice/psd.js which is itself a somewhat incomplete PSD parser.

No offense intended, but I don’t quite understand the point of this wrapper library as its own project. PSD.js should be pretty trivial to just use directly to pull text strings or font names out of. Using a selector/jquery-like library for walking an object tree and pulling out particular keys, it could probably be done in ~5–10 LOC.
Can someone please create a SASS interface to play with it? Would love to send this to family/friends who can't easily spin up the code.

The sequence popping out of 'nowehere' like this reminds me of a upenn cis194 Haskell homework*

Fib sequence can be expressed as:

F(x) = x / (1 − x − x^2)

where x is an infinite stream of 0,1,0,0,0....

and with sane definitions of divide, add, multiply, subtract for these streams.

Not very - Pascal has records, pointers, arrays, etc. You can do it, but you're writing a Pascal compiler and runtime system as Scheme macros. I don't find that a practical application of macros - and macros are powerful, and they let you do things in a Lisp that are painful in other languages.

I bowed out of this conversation because the poster was talking in absolutes, and if you're willing to go to the extreme of implementing a Pascal compiler and runtime system in Scheme macros, then I think other extremes are on the table that can give similar functionality. But I didn't see such nuance getting across.

iMessage data extraction question
hi. i have recently been receiving threatening text messages to my phone from an iCloud account through iMessages. Long story short, police will not subpoena because he hasn't used the right verbiage yet.

Is there any way to extract the header data and run a trace to figure out where this person is located (base on IP address?). And to possibly get a name/the most info possible?
New versions of gcc routinely fail to compile Firefox out of the box. A good example was gcc 4.7's -Wunused-local-typedefs, which is part of -Wall. Local typedefs seem to be a common pattern in Firefox's generated C++ (for IDL bindings).
I think your exaggerating the latency effects but anyway you can still buy IPv4 addresses for ~$12/ip. This is really just going to initially hurt service providers which is good because those are the ones who can make large inroads with IPv6
Almost all popular videos on YouTube are just uploaded in lower quality on Facebook, and friends posting themselves in videos really have a limited audience and tolerance for ads.

Given Facebook's shady history of fake likes and other metrics fudging, it'd be a hard sale.

Who goes to facebook to watch funny or die? Anyone with even the minimal sense of humor and self respect won't waste time watching that lame show. Youtube might just be okay with l getting them go, because at the end of the day people go to youtube to watch videos, not facebook, unless you enjoy watching idiot of a friend's embarrassing moments drunk,
I guess it doesn't matter that git itself was created for Linux kernel development. Oh well.
Perhaps it is some kind of regional difference. I've always lived on the US West Coast, and I've heard "divide four by two" expressed as "divide two into four" many times - and never the other way around.

I never use the "into" phrasing myself because it is confusing to me. But it does make some kind of sense if you think about it this way: "How many twos can you put into four?"
