The old poker adage applies--if you don't know who the fool is at the table, you're it.

You're both right!

I dunno, I'd prefer a consistent Stream interface that just sometimes doesn't have a position, and wraps other Streams with little fuss, rather than have to change gears into Source/Sink lexicon.

Group Policy (which is really a mostly-unrelated thing propagated through AD) is probably the hardest-to-replace part of the equation.

It's likely one could not appreciate the true mass of ATT without actually trying to acquire / control it. Like picking up Thor's hammer, perhaps.

JavaScript objects, yes, but not JSON. Folks were deep into XML as a message format.

Custom work is expensive--one can't just hand-wave it away and hold out for a polymath glassblower, no?

Ditto, the linked article indicates only that the parties had deleted a conversation between them at a critical moment, but not that the specific content of that conversation could be known.

Excellent reading. However I must note that the page for ethylene glycol appears to lead with a photo of windshield washer fluid (ammonia / alcohol / soap), not coolant.

Would Amazon then check and enforce the status/claims against the bond as part of processing each order? It's an interesting idea for sure. It seems like this would put a total stop to inventory commingling, which does sound attr

Suppose the foreign entity decided to flout that law, and never did acquire a bond, or reported a nonexistent bond. Would it be Amazon's responsibility to detect this situation, and what remedy would be available to the customer regar

The right to free speech in the USA concerns political speech, and the relationship between the people and their government. It is not a shield against punishment by society for controversial or ill-considered comments. Indeed, it likely

Conversely, I read Theranos's progress as evidence of cynical bets that the government/military could likely be directed into pumping billions of USD into the company regardless of its merit.

If it's any solace, I understand the secondhand market for diamonds to be quite weak.

I'd argue that 418 veers more towards "trivial" than it does "famous." Expecting knowledge of more than 400, 401, 403, 404, and maybe 412 is pushing it.

TLDR: rates are still very low, but have increased a skosh with some consistency over the past several months, the meaningfulness of which statistic is here unsupported.

I keep checking in with USAA on auto insurance, and they consistently quote double my current premiums... they may have a bias against quick cars, though.

The old "We take privacy and security very seriously" line. But for some reason, access control has something to do with LocationSmart's entity body serialization format... hmm, okay then.

Scala's pattern matching (which btw is structured "value match { ... }" - think of .match as an always-present extension method) goes much farther than it is easy to imagine Java going quickly; consider examples such as regex

Even doomsday cults find ways to rationalize their mistakes when the apocalypse misses its schedule--why should an investor born into his money be any different?

Yup! The simple UPDATEs could improve the chances of the query planner working optimally--think of cases where a single, complex, setwise update might avoid using some really helpful partial indexes, etc.

Why do you think that is true? Cipher suite selection and whitelisting is not a new thing--even if plaintext with CRC32 is in the mix--we deal with it successfully enough in TLS and SSH all the time.

Your makefile / build script would grow so complex so as to start reimplementing maven or gradle.

Bit nasty to name the machine after an obsolete layer 3 protocol, innit?

Hmm, I can't recall any presence whatsoever of NeXT hardware, nor commingling of NeXT software in the CMU Andrew environment. There was a certain amount of SGI Indigo gear for specialty purposes.

Some fun CMU computer cluster name themes from the past: * Prisons (statesville, graterford, etc.): Macs * Astronauts (resnik, white, aldrin): DECstations * Disasters (flood, famine, humanity?): More aged DECstations * Climates (t

It is perhaps doable by getting very intimate with Java's classloaders and security policies, but most people don't want to deal with that stuff--it's complex, not fun, not portable. That said, there are practical examples to
