Déjà vu moment... I think it was only a few days ago when a News item was posted and I made a comment about this attribute was an invitation for nefarious purposes.
Maybe the EU or some other powerful regulative entity can augment the GPDR to also require site owners to get permission to use PING-backs as they do for dropping cookies.

The idea of using machine learning to teach programs how to automatically write or modify code has always been tempting for computer scientists. Are they starting it with VB, or Pascal?

The nonprofit was asked to remove archives of all books, TV, cartoons, and more by the EU I don't know - it included links to Grateful Dead stuff. Seems pretty legit.

It doesn't seem very democratic.
We should have a referendum on which sites to take down, because when a referendum gives a decision, that decision is followed, even if it means turning a first-world country into a third-world country.

Unfortunately, young people are the only ones who are that clever. 
Arthur C Clarke considered any physical scientist over 30 :elderly". By that standard, I am superannuated.

Well, yes, Rimbaud never banged out a decent line of verse past the age of 19 and most of us can comfort ourselves with the knowledge that we haven't done so, either.
Ah, youth! I remember it in parts. It was definitely wasted on me when I was young.

Sure, but he changed his mind when he reached 31.
A lot of young people say a lot of stupid things. Strangely, that doesn't mean they should be quoted as trusted sources.

Two points:
- Arthur C Clarke was never a physical scientist (or any sort of scientist)
- He said that when he himself was well over 30
His observation was, for the most part, accurate. That does not mean that physical scientists over the age of 30 can do no useful work. For example, they can expand on the brilliant idea they had when they were younger, as many scientists have been known to do.

Did you think through that utter garbage, before you let it spew out of your mouth.
Here's two points right back atcha:
0. You don't become less intelligent or creative, as you get older. The very idea that you do is utterly ridiculous. Who would have thought that there could be cretins who think that the brain stops working at 30?
1. You gain knowledge and experience as you get older, so you can put your undiminished intelligence to even greater practical use.
Please do not reply if you are going to continue to make ageist statements. You have already pissed me off enough with the ones you have made.

For some things, knowledge is the best
For other things, wisdom
I think the best is the mix, young people with the knowledge and the ability to learn fast and grown people with the wisdom and the ability to keep focus in what is important.
If the members are really willing to learn from each other, such a team can do almost anything

Often I see developers debating using String vs. string as if it’s a simple style decision. How about sTRing?
|

Every chance I get, i use
string g . that way people can tell me my variable names are a bit skimpy, and my code style is quite revealing.

I've always used string because it's an intrinsic type, in C#, like int is. I was always suspicious of using String, because it's a class.
But, now, due to the article, I have even more and better ammunition than just my suspicions.

Open source projects that want to emulate Linux's long-term success should heed wise counsel from Linux's creator. 1: Make a decent copy of MINIX 2: "Give it away, give it away, give it away now"
|
|
|
|
|
The article says: the open source development model. While that model isn't a guarantee of long-term success, it does offer a clear path for improving technology with the least amount of friction
Sa hwa?
I've obviously been mooching around on a different Internet than the one the article writer's on.
