I still dont understand this fatigue rant around JavaScript. Because I started to work with Ember.js 4 years ago, and it is the solution for everything. The framework evolved nicely and works perfectly. It was not a bet, it was serious choice which based on a real perspective and concept.

Ember is matured and production ready for years now. You can focus on your product. So, as an Emberjs dev never felt that problem than other js developers. Dont experiment, start using the best tool out on the market... no more crying only happiness. ;)

"can travel to NK" should be read as "can travel to NK without special permission from the US government."

You didn't need permission from the US per se to go to Cuba. You needed permission to contribute to the Cuban economy. If you were in a boat, entered Cuban waters, sailed around Havana harbor, and left without paying any sort of fees, then I don't think there was need for permission.

It's possible to get a travel exemption that allows per diem expenditures. The details depend on the type of exemption. See http://www.usacubatravel.com/restriction.htm . One of them is "Specific licenses for religious organizations", which is almost certainly what that church applied for in order for its members to travel to Cuba.

These restrictions are changing this week, I believe. I don't know the latest status.
> I am a terrorist, and am apprehended at JFK with my iPhone. On my iPhone, there is the contact details of my co-conspirators, already in the US and already with AK-47s ready to shoot up a primary school.

Maybe you watched too much 24, but that's just not how these scenarios have played out. You're making the same mistake people make when they imagine hacking being like they show it in the movies: if the good guy can just type fast enough, he can get around the bad guy's defenses, blah, blah, blah. But that's not how it's done, is it? Which makes this a strawman argument.
Sure, the world isn't fair. Lots of people drive drunk and nothing bad happens.

Still, the US shouldn't allow NK to have extra leverage because of this.
We used to not be able to go to NK, but the restriction was from the NK side rather than the USA side. That changed around....2012 I think.
The inevitability of friction is one part of the human condition, and the drive to eliminate it is another. What separates humans from animals is that we can evolve intellectually by amassing tools and knowledge over generations about what causes friction and what we can do to eliminate it. But eliminating friction just means we get to work on harder problems, like how to leave this planet. So you never truly eliminate it, you just change its nature.

Btw, a bidet is pretty good.
I don't think any Eureka moment is needed to find high value applications to implement. Just nobody has executed well enough yet.

Even if you think conservatively and consider only vr-ifying apps we already have: For VR, some types of games (Elite Dangerous, Until Dawn), applications directly related to design of real physical environments and objects. For AR there many obvious industrial applications even with simple overlaid indicators, eg in inspection and manufacturing. In AR games there are also many quite obvious concepts that should work (think eg party games or outdoor games) and you would be way off to say "we haven't come up with any worthwhile games" at this point.
In what sense are you using the word "primary" in "JSX is just a JS primary"? I have a passing interest in language theory and strong interest in PL theory, but I don't think I've seen usage that before.
That's the motive ascribed to him by the DPRK, a confession they extracted while he was detained. They routinely extract false confessions of "plots to overthrow the state" and the like. So this confession is worthless.

We probably can't know what he actually did, or why he did it. The incident could even be made from whole cloth.
dont we have a couple teenagers and several adults imprisoned....indefinitely...without any charges...at gitmo? why such outrage at NK but none at what our own govt. has been engaged in for over a decade..
> >The whole point of the free software movement is to demand freedom for all users.

> No it isn't. It's to demand the work of others be free for consumption by anyone without compensation. Users have a choice - free software (there are very few categories of end-user tools that I can think of that aren't well served by open source these days), or commercial software.

SUSE, RedHat and numerous other companies make plenty of money selling free software (and selling support for it). This is is "commercial free software". You don't seem to understand what "free software" refers to. It does not refer to price. It refers to freedom.

> If the free software movement cared about freedom they would recognize that preserving user choice is a more important and lofty goal than just saying free all the things.

You are redefining the word freedom. Freedom refers to control over your own life. You don't have such control when using proprietary software. The only way to have such control is the 4 fundamental freedoms. Any other definition is just muddying the waters.

> A militant approach to demanding that everything be free is an entitlement that doesn't value the disproportionate investment of resources (time, money, energy, etc) that software developers invest in their work in contrast to the value that users extract from that expenditure.

Given that Linux and GNU exist, and are being sold and have funding from large companies, I call bullshit. Just because some companies have decided to sell proprietary software doesn't mean that suddenly it isn't possible to sell free software.

> Software developers should be free to release software for free if they choose to, and users should have the right to use software that has been released for free (for example, unencumbered by hardware manufacturer restrictions that exist strictly to prevent the end user installing chosen software), but demanding the work of others for free is nonsense.

Again, you're not understanding what free software is. It is software which respects your freedom. It does not have to be gratis (without price) in order to respect your freedom.

Right. It's possible to feel bad for someone murdered by a criminal even if they left their door open all night.

What North Korea is going to do to this kid is going to be inhuman and totally disproportionate to what he did, which was, at worst, fairly stupid.
There can be sympathy for the loved ones, that said, the discussion does remind me of similar discussions regarding of the teenager arrested for theft and vandalism in Singapore in the 90s [1]. Outrage over him being caned.

I'm sorry, but travelers to a foreign country need to be at least cognizant of local customs (read the section in a travel book before going), and if they break the rules, expect to face consequences.

I don't actually use OSX ;) Just for testing. See https://www.ivpn.net/privacy-guides/how-to-perform-a-vpn-lea... for what I did.

I get the open-source concern. I prefer using stock OpenVPN. But if you're going to do that, you need to manage your DNS servers, and firewall leaks. I'm not aware that iVPN provides source code. You could ask them.
It's not comparable at all. Posters on the street are seen as being disposable in most parts of the world, and it's hard to imagine being arrested for, say, pulling down an Obama campaign poster and taking it home. Drug trafficking and hunting large predators are pretty much illegal everywhere, on the other hand.

You can do that in Haskell as well though [0]. With ghci, making a code change is almost instantaneous even for big code bases, and you are assured that your code is self consistent. Then mess with your long-running state all you want.

At least for backend stuff, this is no worse than Clojure.

Give it a try :) Ping me if you have any questions.

I'm measuring almost everything in my day-to-day life - sleep patterns, calorie intake and nutrition, weights lifted and their progression, hours worked, and such. One of the benefits of this border OCD behaviour is that you can see the effects of every single variable - input and output.

In this context, I've been using the Aeron for 2 months now and surely I have no regrets regarding the investment; it's something from which you extract value every single day and you can measure directly how it affects your output. As investment, I would put it right next to the MacBook and resistance/strength training.

When you properly adjust it, the chair feels like a custom tailored suit or glove around your back - it's there, but it's not intrusive.

I'm frugal about most stuff and things - but, in our job even a slight placebo have the effect to benefit you orders of magnitude.

Good LaTeX is less about aesthetics and more about having boilerplate code and macros which greatly simplify the process of making readable documents with citations in the correct (nitpicky, archaic, utterly idiosyncratic) format and figures correctly included and labeled and captioned and scaled.

The joy of LaTeX is that it handles the aesthetics for you. You can focus entirely on structure. Or that's how it works when you have good boilerplate to start from.
You're right. All of these refugees raping and murdering across Europe need to be dealt with too.
I have the exact same issue. I've done well with trying to structure my days similarly, but there are inevitably times where something needs to be done immediately and of course it's never in tune with how I planned the day heh. Trying to explain exactly how disruptive task-switching across domains is for me personally is not something I've been able to communicate effectively to non-technical peers and superiors.

Sure, I can switch from programming to InDesign today! I didn't want to finish that this week anyway. (I exaggerate for effect, but not by much.)
Also, as a college student who reads HN regularly, I have no idea what GP is talking about. It's not just you.
> it's hard to imagine being arrested for, say, pulling down an Obama campaign poster and taking it home

It's actually funny you mention campaign posters specifically - because yes, you can get in very serious legal trouble for taking down campaign signs in certain states.

Source: I know people who took down opposing campaign signs for the opposing candidate. Fun times were not had, except perhaps by the lawyers.
What the hell are you talking about? I've never seen anything remotely near your point other than this comment.
Parachutes actually increase the number of crashes, since instead of attempting a landing, the plane hits the ground.

Parachutes increase the cost of ownership, as they have to be replaced every 10 years or so.

A lot of the people buying Cirrus airplanes are taking off into marginal weather and just assume the parachute will save them when their luck runs out.
It's not that I don't believe you, the questions were genuine, it's just that it seems like an extreme solution to do in a behind-closed-doors, almost underhanded, fashion. I was under the impression that it was a supposed "open" hardware platform geared towards education and enabling kids to get into low-level computing. Android is incredibly popular among that demographic, and if they want to use the Pi to create things for Android, why stop them?
I figure that any markdown dialect enhanced far enough to be usable would be as complex as LaTeX, only without the tooling and pre-written macros.

I found that difficult to read. Most editors go way over the top doing syntax highlighting and to me it makes the code harder to read.

I think the logic might be slightly on the guy's side.

My take is NK will make sure he kept in a good conditions, possibly exposed to some made-up farmers views playing "hard labor prisoners" to make sure he will eventually report that no atrocities are taking place and with eventual return already planned for him on a horizon.

Not to say that actual NK citizen's lifetime for equal "offense" will likely be drastically shorter.

Letting US citizen to die in NK is not going to have a healthy consequences for "the leader" and he realizes this pretty well.
A Journey to the Medical Netherworld
Weak AI will never become self-aware. Actually, neither will strong AI unless we are including awareness as one of it's strong traits (some do, some don't).

Awareness is a virtue in and of itself, and any machine that has it will require an implementation of awareness itself, and that is regardless of the machine's intelligence. Awareness is about self motivation and the creating of its own goals. It's the generating of meaning to back one's words as well as actions, as even we often struggle to do.

As far as I am aware, no one at Deep Mind or IBM is actively working on intent and self-awareness. So for the foreseeable future, if a two-legged drone shows up at your door and points a gun at you, it won't be because AI has awakened. It'll be because someone at the CIA wants to kill you.
Seriously. It feels like some of the commenters here are from the DPRK itself. Do you really trust what the North Koreans are saying? He could've just been a kid who wanted a souvenir and now he's going to an internment camp for 15 years. Poor guy :-(
Wait what? It says rendered in realtime. You mean there was an actor with dots on him / her and that film was playing on a monitor next to them so the director could see the cables popping of?

Surely not
Yes, this sets the precedent that the govt may request, with a valid court order, to compel Apple to help grab information from a specific phone.

The point I'm trying to make (repeatedly through this thread, which everyone seems to ignore) is that this is a pretty reasonable request.

Notice that it becoming a burden for the govt to request this through Apple every time is in no way a reason why the govt would legally be allowed to "demand the software to do it themselves". In fact, as every single case would require a court order, the hassle of the court order is likely a magnitude greater than asking Apple to comply.

For the govt to "demand the software to do it themselves" would be an entirely new court case. In fact, it is this very case that I do not want to see.
> despite not being new or revolutionary, real solid use-cases for the technology hasn't really been found outside of "better stereoscopic presentation and head tracking for games"

That's an interestingly alternative way to say: VR presents a radically different, superior experience of immersion which no other current technology offers. Not to mention it's still in the first inning of development and is accelerating rapidly.

You might as well be in 1952, claiming there has been no other use found for the transistor, other than radios.

To North Korea
Do you know if the guy who was arrested actually tried to steal something? Did you see it happen? One of the questions I have about this whole thing is, did they just select someone and charge them with something for hostage leverage or did he actually do something?

Also, in regards to the prior post you were responding to, did you consider that your drunken tour group was targeted by the government? If I were looking to get a hostage by getting someone to step over an invisible line I might give the group free booze and make the environment seem relaxed till it wasn't relaxed any more.
I'm not sure a device they couldn't unlock really solves the problem. Lets say they did have such a device. Couldn't the government just force them into building a back door even if they themselves can't unlock it?

This is the underlying argument to me, and I feel a bit like a conspiracy theorist saying it. But based on the talk about Apple or Whatsapp or the lack of documented evidence for the latest FCC ruling about wifi radios. It feels more like the government is positioning itself to have private back door access to everything. Not to mention the president basically said just that while speaking at SXSW.
So, on one hand I understand that people visiting foreign countries are expected to follow the laws of that country. Plenty of tourists have been severely punished (or worse, executed) in places like Singapore and Indonesia for drug offences. Of all places you'd expect punishment for vandalism, NK certainly seems the most likely place.

I think the real concern is the disproportionate response to the crime. Which, may in part be; 1. both a deterrent for others, 2. a show of force against the US, 3. something which forces the US to reduce some of its embargos.

So, pity the fool and hope that something diplomatic can be done.
It's weird how this stuff makes the news. The group is so loosely coordinated that I could declare myself part of the group and "declare war" on Trump, or whatever and probably get traction (I am not part of Anon, FYI).

Maybe they'll do some graffiti or a DDoS attack and take down their site. Maybe a virus from Russia will infect their computers and Anon gets the credit/blame.

Or maybe nothing will happen at all. That's probably the safe bet.
I actually made a little thing for emacs that does something similar, actually tagging on the parsed parts of speech instead of just tokens. It requires you to select the text first instead of automatically highlighting, though. It uses coreNLP which was pretty lovely to work with.

So then maybe this isn't for you, but for me it completely replaces WhatsApp and Signal on my phone and now I don't need Skype on any of my computers (Linux for work, OSX on the go, and Windows at home) and all my conversations sync between my phone and computers.
Seriously, it's like some of the commenters are completely devoid of empathy.

The Three Great Virtues of a Software Tester
Not really. Consider this - right now a key part of the discussion is whether compelling Apple to write this software is an undue burden. Most reasonable people would agree that it would take quite some effort. However, if Apple did it once for the terrorist's phone (which no one objects to) then every subsequent request would have minimal burden attached to it. Thus they would have to comply to any subsequent request to unlock, even if the phone didn't belong to a terrorist. What if it only belonged to a whistleblower or humans rights activist? Too bad, minimal burden.

If it becomes common enough, Congress wouldn't face much opposition if they passed a law saying that the status quo (on demand unlocking) be maintained by smartphone manufacturers.

I suggest you actually read up on the filings from both sides before talking so much.

This guy is a total fuck-up, no doubt. Many Americans are, though, and I don't think that merits 15 years at hard labor. Especially since part of the reason the North Koreans are doing this is likely because of international politics.
How would you feel if a review site was using affiliate links only in reviews of VPN companies that they really liked, and were glad to promote?
Even then, I'm unconvinced that the ability to do realistic graphics in real time will actually manifest itself in vediogames/VR experiences we can interact with. So much of what makes this look good is the excellent art direction, and as you stated, excellent textures and animations of an artificial thing. But animation students have been producing similar quality visuals for their show-reels for ages. All that has changed is the ability to render faster, but the creation of this content is still being done by the same processes.

For videogames/vr to break the photorealistic barrier, there needs to be some order of magnitude reduction in art development costs for these experiences to be affordable. Not all videogames can be star wars battlefront, where probably $150M ($330M overall cost to develop and market [1]) was spent making the best damn textures videogames have ever seen, but produced a simple, limited game.

Photorealism is a dead end for videogames unless art costs come down.

It turns out software was only reliable in the dimensions we we carefully looking at.
I'm not sure 'proof' would have helped any - we might well have proved that, say, Flash could successfully display any valid animation you could throw at it without even thinking about whether it was also pwning your machine.
