TrueConf Unifies Interface of Client Applications for Video Conferencing
TrueConf has released a beta version of its new client app for Windows. The new app substitutes the two separate applications currently in use with a single unified interface for TrueConf Server and the TrueConf Online cloud service.

TrueConf 7.0 for Windows is built on a unified platform previously used for client applications for Linux and OS X. Thanks to the cross-platform core of these applications, TrueConf will be able to speed up the introduction of new technologies to all desktop operating systems simultaneously.

Users can select the necessary server type at the authorization stage: Enterprise TrueConf Server or the TrueConf Online cloud service. Servers can be switched directly in the application’s settings without restarting the app.

To optimize the use of space within the app, the new client features a new mechanism for video window layout formation in multipoint conferences. The new layout adjusts automatically when the user changes the size of windows or it can be changed manually on demand. In addition, all necessary tools for calls, IM and conference control are available in tabs on the side panel of the application window.

The Address Book menu has an updated design. The user list tab now features avatars for faster navigation. The contact search mechanism is now simpler and smarter, with predicative technology that instantly responds when a user starts entering symbols into the search bar.

In addition, TrueConf 7.0 for Windows has a new mechanism for chat interaction: the chat tab can be expanded to a separate window as a fully featured messenger tool. The chat tab also features an option to separate personal and group chat history; all recent group chats are stored as separate items in chat history.
Seems rr is using fork for its implementation. The first time I've seen this approach taken is in Ocaml's debugger.[1]

For a large demographic this election looks like its being fought with memes. Not proposed policy, speeches, ads or debates but these simplistic images that you can read in a second.

Neither Sanders nor Clinton is generating this content. I think this is significant. The ability for candidates to control their own narrative is waning.

Of course this is only for a segment of the population but its by no means small. Bernie Sanders wouldn't still be in the running if this was insignificant.

Some of it is well put together, but lots of it is simplistic and vicious. The anti-Hillary stuff is out of hand and will cause huge problems if she is the nominee. Many Bernie heads will be unable to pull the lever for Hillary because the primary is overblown.

The anti-Trump content (hitler memes) is the most extreme I think we've ever seen.

Its a very stupid, emotional election.
The application makes the job look like it's based in Tel Aviv. Can it instead be 100% remote?
I don't know why my sibling comment is dead, but windows is the only non POSIX and UNIX-like still relevant. May be there is a niche non-UNIX OS that I don't know about?

OS X is POSIX certified, and Linux and BSD are obviously UNIX-like and mostly compliant.

Apart from the precise meaning of POSIX, windows is the only OS in widespread use not part of the UNIX-like family.
I'd say that the explanation is actually less contentious than it might seem.

Yes exactly.

Today I learned people actually write / use scripts without specifying the interpreter at the top of the script. This is like writing a Ruby script and expecting it to work when calling it with the Python interpreter.
Maybe you should mention this on that page then instead of going on and on about pacman when you don't even include it lol

It's more about the evolution of ideas. Can we say that an automobile is an innovation or is it just an improved carriage? So, probably, analyzing what works and how it can be improved can lead to drastic changes in concept.

It's kind of interesting that TCO goes together with FP, because logically it makes at least as much sense for OOP, as Guy Steele pointed out at http://www.eighty-twenty.org/2011/10/01/oo-tail-calls.html
> There's a thing where if you declare a type A, and then a derived type B, methods on A have to be declared before type B gets declared...

Yes, that sounds very familiar.

> The specific error message is: you declared a package, which is basically a header in C parlance.

Oh, FFS. That snippet is not, in fact, pointing at the piece of code I was actually asking about --- ideone changed it when I wasn't looking. The one you saw is unfinished and broken.

This one is the one I was meaning: http://ideone.com/skZRIb

The .Foo selector isn't found; changing it to Foo(object) reports that apparently Foo isn't a dispatching method on MyClass1... which makes no sense, because this is the same code as you had. My suspicion is that there's something magic about declaring classes in packages?

For non-rescue personnel (the rest of us), it looks like the best thing you can do is simply make sure that nobody gets closer than 150 feet. If you're certain that aerials are deployed, you can approach (from the FRONT/pointy-end) and knock five or more times. One or no knocks means that you need to phone the authorities after retreating to a safe distance - there is nothing that you can do for them (special tools are needed to crack it open).

That's a good thing as far as I'm concerned.
On Debian these days, they provide an executable named apt that does all the common stuff in one place (install, search, list (mimicks dpkg), remove, show, etc.).
The concept seems to be pretty similar to Project Maelstrom.
The problem is that total potential harm from a nuclear accident is very big. It is limited, but if the limit is all fission materials from the reactor dispersed into the air or used to produce a real nuke by terrorists, then the cost can be loss of millions human lives. Compare that with aviation where the worst that can happen is a loss of airplane and few buildings.

Given this potential threat anything that will be discovered to increase its probability will increase operation cost of reactors in the future. This is just not the case with planes. There minimizing the risk beyond a certain threshold is sufficient especially since it is known that an error in estimation of that threshold is bounded.
Ehh not some much. The attempted crushing of the Civil Rights movement by the then sectarian government of Northern Ireland and the subsequent esclation on all sides is much more "responsible" for the decades of troubles there than lingering memories of 800 years. If you found your street under attack by the police, homes burned out and forced to become a refugee (as was happening with State backing in NI in the late 60s) it's not so easy to dismiss it as "history"

They should call the Dutch. They're the best at dams.

EDIT: Retrospectively, my comment is not necessarily appropriate. As much as the Dutch are good at building dams, it's obvious that the situation is dire and has more to do with security and military conflict. My apologies for being insensitive.

What does "showdead" say in your settings (click on your username in the orange bar to get to settings)? It should be "no" if you have not changed it.

You can test it on the comments on this submission: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11213213

There are several dead comments near the bottom that are visible if showdead is "yes", and invisible if it is "no".
You really exaggerate. Most such interactions happen in public spaces. A man can not just beat up a woman in a public space on a whim. Most woman don't walk around in constant fear of men, either. Perhaps the opposite is true: we are all so used to people being polite that we don't know how to react when somebody isn't, like a stalker who doesn't get the hint. (And can I just say Trump...). If that girl had had more encounters with messed up men she would perhaps have reacted differently.

I actually tend to be afraid of women going mental. These days, they might be armed. When I walk home from the tube at night I always worry the woman in front of me might get it into her head that I could be following her and suddenly draw a weapon on me. So, in your own words, it is unlikely, but also possible that a woman could go violent on me. There are also the false rape accusations - women have many options to ruin a man's life.

Also, I never said she invited the attention, just that her agreeing to go for dinner was not because she was afraid he would become violent otherwise. There is nothing in that statement that validates his actions. Don't just shout "victim blaming" as a knee jerk reaction in any discussion about women, it's ridiculous.

I boggles my mind that you assume so many things, and seem to be so cocksure in your opinions.
Most "Teach Kids Programming" are build on the idea that programming means sitting still in front of a keyboard typing stuff. Most kids under 10 can manage at most about 15 minutes of that before getting bored and either wanting to get up and jump around or watch YouTube / play games.

Scratch (https://scratch.mit.edu/) helps a bit but it's still "stuck in front of a screen" and reaching a "reward", in terms of a meaningful result takes longer than the average childs attention span.

Best starting point I've ever seen is this "How to Train your Robot" real world game - https://drtechniko.com/2014/07/09/teaching-the-how-to-train-... - which is based on the idea that adults play the robots and kids get to tell them what to do. That's immediately a fascinating starting point for kids to hold their interest while they pick up some basic ideas of logic and creating instruction sets for a 3rd party to execute.
He only claim he send them an email and that he then decided not to wait for an answer and publish this before they got a chance to respond. In no way is this acceptable behaviour from any security professional. In my mind he's just a kid who thought he would get some cheap points for discovering some big security issue but in the heat of the moment forgot to follow normal protocol
My bad, like Six Sigma above said, the guidelines do not include such rule. Since HN evolved /co-evolved with reddit and follows many of the conventions even more strictly, I thought this is also an HN rule. Intuitively, it also makes sense - 'upvoting', or irl aknowledging things you disagree with is how you would aknowledge that you see the opposing argument as valid, and will address the disagreement in a response. As opposed to downvoting, or irl ignoring, comments that fall so far out of scope of civil debate and are not constructive.

Every time I see such excessive spending on massive events like the Vegas one detailed in this article, I see problems within the company. So you focus on sales to the exclusion of providing service for customers? You need to spend MORE on sales every year to gain the customers you lose, often far more than having just spent more on operational staff and streamlining processes.

And then there's the hard sell. Is it surprising that sales reos and Zenefitd management alike weren't following the law?

Then there's the hook - you give away HR software for free, but this gets your company to use the vendor for medical insurance. How is that in the best interests of the employee? How is there not a conflict of interest?

The entire model of Zenefits sounds so, so dodgy. What a nightmare.
If the CEO is not sure where to donate to 'provide enough for those who have little', then giving to those that 'have much' and having them make the decisions might actually be a good choice.

I never felt too positive about piling up of money for years/decades to donate it later instead of distributing it among the people in the organization now.

Sure, if you believe in an impactful plan that needs lots of money. But even then I could see arguments against it.

My thought is that the Republicans have long (since 1968 or so) sought political support from a large section of the population that they haven't had much interest in actually representing.

Bingo. I'm just old enough to remember hearing about Nixon's "silent majority" a few years after he used it; per Wikipedia:

The term was popularized by United States President Richard Nixon in a November 3, 1969, speech in which he said, "And so tonight—to you, the great silent majority of my fellow Americans—I ask for your support." In this usage it referred to those Americans who did not join in the large demonstrations against the Vietnam War at the time, who did not join in the counterculture, and who did not participate in public discourse. Nixon along with many others saw this group of Middle Americans as being overshadowed in the media by the more vocal minority.

And his record was very mixed: got us out of Vietnam ("Peace with honor", later betrayed, of course), detente with the Soviet Union was the best he could achieve there, which a lot of us groked, and the masterful opening with China, which was probably a necessary part of winning the Cold War.

Economically, though, ugh, although he was dealt a terrible hand. Closing the gold window (although that allowed Ford to allow us to own gold again), his wage and price controls with authoritarianism we hadn't seen since FDR and their inevitable distortions and nil accomplishments, establishing the EPA, OSHA etc. (which ran out of control not much later), heck, trucking and airline deregulation was a Carter thing. But we felt he was largely on our side, even if not so competent about it domestically. Ditto Ford, and Reagan of course 100%.

But since then ... do I need to, for this audience, detail the records of Bush father and son? McCain hates us with a burning passion, and have you ever heard of anyone calling himself a "severe" conservative aside from Romney ? Not I in 45 years of self-aware "conservatism" (scare quotes because of how that word has been degraded to the point of uselessness; I like the "Militant Right" nowadays).

You can reduce a lot of Trump's appeal to what one Iowa caucus put on his ballot: "Donald Trump, because fuck you". Or

You "conservative" "pundits" still don't get it: Trump isn't our candidate. He's our murder weapon. And the GOP is our victim.

We good, now?

(https://twitter.com/empireofjeff/status/632271934907138048) That's the GOP establishment, of course, which after way too many betrayals we have every intention of terminating with extreme prejudice, with Trump being just one instrumentality.
At no point while using LLVM, could Rust have used a different calling convention.

It was managing its stack, but it does that even today: when creating a thread, it allocates a 8MB stack.

Within that stack, however, function calls work as they do in C, and they've been like that effectively forever (although the Ocaml bootstrap compiler might have had a non-LLVM x86 backend, not sure about that).
Ah, I missed that.

They seem very clear about how dangerous the thing is, so unless you're absolutely and utterly certain that it's completely safe, keep away. Don't add more casualties.
Amazingly there were no fatalities (other than a dog that was in one of the houses that collapsed). When you watch the video of that accident instinctively everything tells you that it is much more than just material damage, and I clearly remember being extremely relieved that nobody died.

Here is a video of the accident:

The guy does a good thing and recode is trying to justify that hey it was not a big deal because he already is rich and has a lot more stock!

At one end journalists cry out aloud about how big CEOs are hoarding cash and stock without giving much to employees, and when someone does the opposite you try to justify.

Yep, that was the one as well. But LBJ and Moses were just 3 classes out of ~14, so no overexposure to Caro.

On LBJ the focus was "The Path to Power", and how he created the network of power (especially his early years) that eventually supported him.

Totally fair re tech writers.

To be clear, I was not at all trying to suggest that tech was the only factor. It's a small one.

Moreover, where tech matters is in how it has devalued what the party offered, clearing the space for Trump (i.e. the effect of aggregation of the media is to neuter the party, not necessarily to elevate trump)
The approach described in this paper: having an archeologist implement a virtual machine in an afternoon, and then having that virtual machine run a self-checking program that expanded to a full system, is exactly what contestants/archeologists in ICFP 2006 did.

I've been returning to the contest recently. There's a treasure trove of interesting stuff, including the ML compiler that targets the universal machine. It's amazing that such a small group of people created all that for a programming contest.
