    tags: denunziation

    • “Eine der übelsten Seuchen, die die radikale Linke nicht nur bisweilen, sondern regelmäßig heimsucht, ist die Denunziation. Sie gleicht einem natürlichen Drang, ist ein stets vorprogrammierter Systemfehler gesellschaftlicher Opposition, eine Schranke, an der sie einige Male bereits zerschellte. Denunziation meint Substantivierung der Differenz hin zu einem Unterschied ums Ganze. Diese Differenz wird zum elementaren Ereignis aufgeblasen, meint Sein oder Nichtsein
    • Ziel der Bezichtigung ist die Herabsetzung von Personen, ist Zerstörung ihrer Integrität.
    • Wenn sonst schon nichts gelingt, das gelingt, zumindest in einschlägigen Kreisen. Zwar ist damit nichts gewonnen, aber doch einiges kaputt gemacht
    • Die Zweierbeziehung und die Eifersucht wurden total verpönt, solche Gefühle und Bedürfnisse wurden als die eines Kleinfamilienmenschen verächtlich gemacht. Man wurde durch Gruppenzwang und soziale Ächtung zu einer Promiskuität und Bisexualität gezwungen, die zumindest für manche zu manchen Zeiten ein echter sexueller Missbrauch war. In manchen Kommunen gab es sogenannte “Ficklisten”, in denen einzutragen war, wer wann mit wem verkehren würde, und Schwangerschaften mussten beantragt und im Plenum genehmigt werden, sonst gab es den sozialen Druck zur Abtreibung.
    • In der Zwischenzeit appelliert der ÖGB an die ArbeiterInnen, den Rechtsstaat zu schützen und den „hendlbrüstigen“ StudentInnen in der Au, die ja von den ArbeiterInnen ihr Studium finanziert bekämen, zu „ermöglichen“, Weihnachten zu Hause zu verbringen. Die Stimmung in der Bevölkerung polarisiert sich zusehens.
    • der immer präsenten Polizei zu einer Auseinandersetzung, bei der eine ältere Aktivistin verletzt wird.
    • Es war sehr wichtig, nicht als „gegen den Staat“ abgestempelt werden zu können, und das ist voll und ganz gelungen. Hätte sich die Kritik der linken Fraktion der BesetzerInnen durchgesetzt, hätte die Sache ganz anders ausgehen können.
    • Innenminister Blecha vergleicht die Taktik der DemonstrantInnen mit der des Khomeini Regimes im Iran, zu der Zeit das Paradebeispiel von Gewalt.
    • PolizistInnen schleichen sich noch vor 4 Uhr früh an und überwältigen unsere Wachen

    • Sie trommeln auf ihre Schilde und stürmen dann vor und schlagen auf alle Menschen mit größter Gewalt ein. So konnten sie tatsächlich in einem begrenzten Bereich eine Rodung durchführen.

  • tags: streaming api libcurl recommendation pattern

    • If you wrote your own streaming API code or maintain a library, make sure your HTTP library supports 1.1 and that you are issuing HTTP 1.1 requests. Popular libraries such as libcurl typically have no problem parsing these responses.
  • "JSPs and servlets Most of the times JSPs are used to show an object in your application. Stapler allows you to associate JSPs to your application classes, as shown in green circles in the above figure. Stapler weaves those JSPs into the URL hierarchy, and when they get requested, Stapler sets up the environment such that they can access the corresponding application object very easily, by the "it" variable (like ${it.name}). Similarly, often you want to run some Java code when a certain URL is requested, as shown in red circles in the above figure. For example, when /project/stapler/delete is requested, you'd like to delete the project and redirect the user to /. With Stapler, this is as easy as defining a method on your application objects. Stapler invokes the method on the right object. Problems That Stapler Solves Servlet (and technologies like JSP/JSF that builds on top of it) can only bind request URLs into your static resources, JSPs, and/or servlets in a very limited way. You can even tell that from the java.net system. For example, the URL to view the archive of a mailing list is /servlets/SummarizeList?listName=announce, the URL to search the archive if /servlets/SearchList?listName=announce, and the URL to manage it is /servlets/MailingListEdit?list=announce. This has some problems. Relative URLs are useless Ordinary servlet/JSP prevents you from using the URL hierarchy to organize your application. In the java.net system, if you want to generate a link from the archive to the search page, you have to put the whole URL including all the parameters. You'll be writing something like /servlets/SearchList?list=${listName}. As your application gets more complicated, the number of parameters will increase, making your application harder and harder to maintain. Stapler allows you to use URLs like list/announce/summarize, list/announce/search, and list/announce/edit. Thus a link from the summary page to the search is simply search. A lot of boiler-plate code Most of the times, the first thing your JSPs and servlets need to do is to locate the object that you'll be working with. This is tedious. Even worse, it needs to be repeated in many places. Stapler takes care of this for you. When your JSP is invoked, you can access the target object by the variable "it". Or when your action method (the equivalent of the servlet) is invoked, it is invoked on the target object. This cuts down a lot of boring boiler-plate code in your application. Recursive Structure Servlets can't handle recursive directory structure very well. In the above figure, I have recursive Folder class that has two JSPs each. The only way to make this work in servlet is to assign unique IDs to each folder and define those JSPs at the top-level. The actual URLs will be very different from the natural tree structure. Stapler maps this very naturally to URLs"

    • There are basically four situations why people have affairs. (1) A person has a sex addiction. Are they willing to go to a 12-step program to deal with their addiction? (2) A person gets caught in a slippery situation, is under the influence of drugs or alcohol and they do something they never thought they would do. They usually have great remorse for what happened and vow never to put themselves in that type of situation again. (3) A person seeks revenge or pay back because their partner had an affair. (4) A person is hungry for attention or nurturing, so they connect with someone outside the relationship to fulfill their needs.

    • This low impedance path allows the maximum amount of fault current, causing the overcurrent protection device (breakers, fuses) to trip or burn out as quickly as possible, bringing the electrical system to a safe state.
    • At very high frequencies the current no longer flows in the wire, but effectively flows on the surface of the wire, within a thickness of a few skin depths. The skin depth is the thickness at which the current density is reduced by 63%. Even at relatively low frequencies used for power transmission (50–60 Hz), non-uniform distribution of current still occurs in sufficiently thick conductors. For example, the skin depth of a copper conductor is approximately 8.57 mm at 60 Hz, so high current conductors are usually hollow to reduce their mass and cost.
