Yeah a recurring theme in this thread seems to be non french people getting caught in our public service vs private(ised) operator spectrum. As the saying goes "it's not a bug, it's a feature"! Word of advice from an equ

While I agree in spirit with your point, I cannot help but imagine the shitfest of goal realignment that must follow the first your-eyes-only presidential briefing from the intel agencies.

Exactly this. Be very very careful approaching some rich asshole's security with a a tool mike this. If it's on the beach itself just grab some shovels and dig under/ over. Make fences pointless!

"The court seeks fines on the order of 1/365th of the terrain's value per day of continued denied access and will repossess the land in 1 year and 1 day if this ruling is not complied with" Schadenfreude all around.

It costs political/career opportunities and will continue to do so while the potential defendants is/knows the "establishment" of the judges area of jurisdiction.

Once you destabilise the orbit you can be pretty sure things will end either in a ball of fire somewhere in the upper atmosphere or slingshotting into space. I wouldn't want to be in the path though.

> in principle, treating those as complex object structures is the right way to go I do not see this as a given. It's a matter of abstraction vs performance tradeoff and that is highly subjective. Unless you pioneer a new standard f

As counterpoint if only for the sake of my wetware memory, I'd rather have only a few pipes being as agnostic and generally capable as possible than complex plumbing. I don't mean to argue there is no value in specialised adapters

My structured objects aren't your structured objects. In that use case why not use a dedicated program (like say ae python/js/clojure interpreter) to handle more complex pipes and keep the shell level primitves... Well, primi

It's generally the case that clever software optimisations hit intel's platform first due to it's spread. Here's hoping AMD gathers interest in providing platform specific optimisations

Surely you sense the common theme? It's not expected of everyone to demonstrate outstanding mastery of literary or numerical skills, however some tasks are generally useful and require a basic understanding of the fundamentals. The lis

Your metaphor makes sense, but I'd argue programming is more aligned with subjects like say physics, where you need to give at least a basic understanding of the fundamentals. I mean this in opposition to the more optional side of ches

Well, I believe the court has considered their position and feels that "punishing" google is not a matter of commercial success but of anti trust law (the "companies don't have inner pressure to be moral" argument).

As a consumer, I have (much) more trust that my interests are advanced by the EU than google. This is an opinion which I don't feel the need to convert anyone to but I really don't understand the opposite view. Can someone explain

Indeed you are correct. I merely regret that they added features in ulterior iterations that were at best accessory to what originally set them apart. I mean, look at how the role of iTunes evolved!
