null | grumbel | null | It would be interesting to know what would have happened to the Internet if he wouldn't have developed the Web.
The basic idea of the hyperlink has been [demoed back in 1968](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJDv-zdhzMY). [SGML](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Generalized_Markup_Language) precedes HTML. The GNU project had [Texinfo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texinfo). Knut had [TeX](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeX). Microsoft had [RTF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Text_Format). Ted Nelson had [Xanadu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Xanadu). Aol and Compuserve had their own proprietary stuff.
But I don't think there was ever a real competitor to HTML. All the document formats mentioned above were just for offline document markup. They could have been turned into something similar to the HTML based Web, but none of them ever even reached the stage of trying to compete with HTML.
Xanadu is conceptually really interesting, as it tries to solve problems that HTML doesn't, but despite existing for 50 years, it never turned into a useable product.
Not sure what would have happened with Aol and Compuserve when they wouldn't have had to compete with the Web.
Wikis are probably the closest thing we have to a Web alternative. They do run on the Web, but they have their own markup and internal link structure and a client that renders them directly instead of going over HTML could be plausible. In practical terms they have also replaced large parts of the Web already, individual fan pages for movies and TV are getting rare, most of that info ends up getting collected in a Wiki these days.

And because we have a standard for DRM doesn't mean it will be there FOREVER. It's a step, and later we can have it removed once Linux is the main operating system vs Windows.

Valid data is injected into the stream, and from the outside, you see non stop communication, and you can't know when someone is talking, and to whom.

Sure, there are no checks at a gun show (correct me if I'm wrong), but if the case is coming down to intent as the article states, then it does change things. Would it with a gun analogy?
Now whether or not he should be found guilty is a different story I really am limiting my issue with what you said to the analogy, but let's be honest, he advocated it in places he knew were frequented by people who might well use it for nefarious purposes.
To continue the analogy, the question becomes "should he be charged with selling the gun to people, or should only those people be responsible based on what they do with it?".
Personally I think he shouldn't because people are responsible for their use of the tools, whether it's a gun or this software, but it looks like the FBI disagree in this case.
Additionally, as /u/Grimy_ pointed out, this is also worth keeping in mind:
>Whenever he saw evidence that a particular buyer was using the product to hack, he’d log in to Net Seal and disable that user’s copy, cutting the hacker off from his infected slaves.
If that's true and his lawyers hammer that home then there shouldn't really be intent they can run with. | null | 0 | 1491380558 | False | 0 | dfus3y4 | t3_63jq8w | null | null | t1_dfuqesd | null | 1493811372 | 15 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

(1) US does produce good quality developers
(2) Companies don't want to pay salaries to they go thru HB1
(3) Companies lie when they say they must use HB1 because they don't find people. What they don't find if people in the US Accepting to work for low wages, like HB1 ones do.
Decisions are then made to bring those jobs back inside the US, and to US people.
It's quite simple. It will cost a little more, yeah, but in the end you end up with less unemployment, more people working and paying more taxes, the government will work better, have more funding, and it's good for people to work than stay unemployed, especially if they have kids going to school which costs money to give them a future where they won't cook meat at Mac Donald's. | null | 0 | 1491381181 | False | 0 | dfusbe7 | t3_638rgm | null | null | t1_dfshsas | null | 1493811472 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

null | barsoap | null | We've got a specific statute for such situations in Germany, [§202c StGB](https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/englisch_stgb/englisch_stgb.html#p1754):
> Section 202c
> Acts preparatory to data espionage and phishing
> (1) Whosoever prepares the commission of an offence under section 202a or section 202b by producing, acquiring for himself or another, selling, supplying to another, disseminating or making otherwise accessible
> 1. passwords or other security codes enabling access to data (section 202a(2)), or
> 2. software for the purpose of the commission of such an offence,
> shall be liable to imprisonment not exceeding one year or a fine.
> (2) Section 149(2) and (3) shall apply mutatis mutandis.
The key thing here is actually "producing/selling/supplying/disesseminating for the purpose of committing an offense". If you do any of that for actual research purposes or, as some German hackers first feared just wrote or distributed nmap, no, that isn't covered because the purpose is not committing an offense.
Marketing such a thing on shady forums is purpose enough, we don't even need to look at specific features: Technically, selling someone a Windows license for the purpose of committing such an offense is illegal but that's going to be a steep uphill evidence battle against intention.

null | no-bugs | null | > I really can't think of an example where a class one would consider "complex" couldn't be broken down into several simpler classes, each with a more focused purpose.
It can, but whether it _should_ is a different story (and it should be decided on case-by-case basis); I have to say that class splitting which leads to essentially breaking encapsulation via exposing implementation details, is at least as bad as having more-than-one-single-responsibility per class.
Even more interesting question arises when we consider those classes which consolidate functionality from smaller building-block classes (using Martin's SRP example, it could be something like ReportWithFormatting class - combining functionality of ReportContent and ReportFormat)? I have to insist that such a class should have a place in the design (to start with, it is what most of the system will be using, so it is a proper abstraction). If there is no disagreement about this point - I am fine for practical purposes :-).
However, if trying to generalize it into some-rule-of-thumb-usable-across-different-projects - obviously, we could re-define "unit" for testing and "single responsibility" for this ReportWithFormatting class so that it will be both unit-testable and SPR-compliant.
However, from my experience, this redefining of terms is NOT what most of the developers out there are doing when referring to "unit test" and SPR. As a result - I've seen quite a few really monstrous designs consisting of lots of very-low-level tautologically-unit-testable classes with all the encapsulation thrown out of the window (and with the classes combined into something usable, only at the very high level, making the whole code base really unmanageable - exactly due to improper exposure of implementation details to higher abstraction levels). | null | 0 | 1491381425 | False | 0 | dfuseba | t3_6270sm | null | null | t1_dfnqqzt | null | 1493811511 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

I have never, ever, needed to reverse a binary tree. Use them, yes. But reverse them ? No.
And if I will ever need to reverse one, I will not try to write an algorithm for it. I will search an algorithm book to find what are the best mathematical ones available, and if there are several of them, I will see what the tradoff is (fast but requires memory, slow but requires no memory at all for example but space for 1 element, etc.).
There are mathematicians out there, with more experience than you have lived years of your own life, that are specialists in various fields, and they did came up with highly, or the best optimal possible, algorithms for most tasks.
If you think you, or a developer, without this experience and knowledge can to better than those mathematicians and people, you are stupid.
The good developer solves solutions. And if an algorithm is required, you check the constrains, and study what are the best solutions, designed by people much, much clever than you are, and will ever be. And you select an algorithm, which is usually written in pseudo-code, and with the langage required for the project, you IMPLEMENT it.
Here is a book I use, for example :
https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/0262533057/
Inside you have algorithms for most things.
Each with the mathematical knowledge, explanations, tradeoffs if there are several available solutions, and pseudo code.
If you think you can do better than the best algorithms out there, you're stupid, and I don't work with stupid people.
Who gives a fuck about reversing binary trees ? I have not needed to do that in over 30 years of coding, and I would analyze, if it's needed, what is the best fucking solution according to constraints of the project (reversing one on a cpu integrated into a smart card is not the same as doing that on a Nvidia Cuda GPU).

null | thr731 | null | I think complexity and regularity of a language are orthogonal to each other. I think you can get a good grasp on the complexity of Latin (it is learnable for sure, I don't want to make it seem impossible!) if you consider:
1) There are 3 genders instead of 2. (More infliction.)
2) There are more cases. While in Spanish you express possession by the word "de" ("Somos en la casa de Lisa"), Latin expresses that concept by use of the genetive case (1 of 7 cases). Again, more inflection.
So you are right, the basic structure is similar to current Roman languages, but once you learn Latin, you see that they all decreased the complexity of their inflections.
About the sentence structure: I am not a linguist, but I think of these rather as artifacts and quirks than something fundamental when talking about Roman languages. If you like that sort of thing, I'd recommend taking a look on German.
