> She's not corrupt, or evil or crooked or lying or smelling as sulfur, she's just (imho) wrong.

If she's not... why did she delete thousands of emails that were illegally on a private server? Why did she lie about the source of protests and then leave American's to die?

For someone who isn't corrupt/evil/crooked... she sure does do a lot of corrupt/evil/crooked shit.
Probably because while she is persistently (at least publicly) ignorant in advocating mutually incompatible positions involving getting around encryption while protecting legitimate privacy and security rights of everyone who isnt a terrorist, and in suggesting that these mutually incompatible goals could be met with sufficient application of technical expertise, her opponents only statements on the issue have been on the side of unconditional surrender of access to the security apparatus without acknowledging that there are legitimate privacy and security concerns.

Hillary's position, if pursued as she has laid it out, would involve a bunch of money being spent, much of it going to infosec experts, with the result that the impossible thing she says she seeks would be shown to be impossible.
So why not Cython like PayPal?
Same.

I am so tired of the "Trump is worse" rationalization.

Are you referring to the declarations in libsourcemap.h or the definitions in cabi.rs?

Regarding the declarations: this would only be necessary if processed in C++ context, to change the name mangling/linkage features of the declarations. For portability sometimes authors hide these behind "ifdef __cplusplus" barriers, but it's not really critical here.

Regarding the definitions: "Exposing a C ABI in Rust" from the article describes this in detail. For the most part, "#[no_mangle]" has the same effect that "extern "C"" has on linkage/mangling in C++.
Kudos to analyzing the data! I wonder how the duplicate file detection was implemented.

Was it just take a hash of the file contents and see if the hash already exist? Was it compare the file name?

I imagine that many duplicates may exist that contain one file written in one editor and then loaded to another editor, auto formatted (to convert spaces to tabs or vice versa) and then pushed back up. So you might have two files with identical code but different whitespaces.

I also wonder (for Javascript) if the minification steps screws up the results too, since minifiers may convert tabs to spaces or vice versa...

Anyway, I'm probably overthinking this. Great job!
For me and I think for most of the people hoping for change this election (Obama ran against Clinton in 2008 with the slogan 'Change') Clinton is also unacceptable.

I think that's the difference between the media outlook on the two candidates. Neither are acceptable. But I'm still waiting for journalists to write the by-now established fact that she's a lunatic.

Unfortunately I do not think that the people slotted for appointments inside the Clinton campaign are likely to have a positive aspect with regard to national security thinking, civil liberties, etc as they are primarily the same folks who are currently running national security policy today. Hoping for a radical change to policy and from appointments from a Clinton administration seems particularly silly and divorced from reasonable expectation.

In any case, it sounds like we have a consensus: the outlook for this election on core issues looks particularly dim.

When the media reports on the future, reporters pretty much only ever quote these sort of futurists, who have hijacked the future to support their side of certain current disputes. Truth be told, folks who analyze the future but don’t frame their predictions or advice in terms of standard ideological categories are largely ignored, because few folks actually care much about the future except as a place to tell morality tales about who today is naughty vs. nice.

Yup. I don't know how many times we've shoe-horned in a feature because it is a "must-have" for some prospective customer, and they either don't end up purchasing, or they purchase, but the must-have feature never gets used. It lingers on, forever, in ratty old functions and crufted-up database tables, and cognitive load.

Yea they mentioned alternatives, but cython wasn't mentioned at all. I guess Rust makes sure there aren't any memory issues , but it's far from the only easy option.

Cython is used everywhere and can be compiled on the machine it's about to be used on. It also follows best practices for talking to python via FFI.

Everyone in a democracy should work to get the best possible options in an election, but then choose intelligently the best (which is the same as the least bad) option in terms of expected result of voting when the election arrives.

A failure to secure the options you'd like to have in the head up to an election may prompt reflection and longer-term changes in approach to try to get better results in the future, but doesn't change that you ought to make the best (which may merely be least bad) available choice at the election.
From the wording of the article, it's pretty clear that the researchers that the authors are aware of the degree of circumspection that such findings typically raise -- and that this isn't just a matter of a single associational study; but rather, a retrospective finding over many studies. Which the researchers feel should forces to consider the fact that we may be close to a tipping point, with regard to the proposed etiology at hand.

Hence statements like "We can't keep ignoring the evidence", "landmark editorial", etc.

That does trouble me a bit, but if they stick to the spec (and I assume the retina Macbook hasn't deviated in any way to suggest they will for future models), then I see no reason not to remain tentatively optimistic.

I don't see any reason to go off spec given that they should be able to go up to 100W, but I may be wrong. Or Apple might come up with some hazy excuse for why the existing standard was no good. It'd be a real shame, though.
Pedantic comment: the Isle of Man isn't in the United Kingdom.

The major media outlets waited just long enough to make sure that Trump had a relatively clear run to the Republican nomination, ensuring that by the time all this came out voters would be forced to choose between him and Hillary Clinton.
We're using GitHub Issues: https://github.com/Expensify/Bedrock/issues However, honestly those specific issues aren't on the list. In general we focus less on what could happen, and more on what actually does happen. Those specific issues haven't ever occurred, and thus never got "fixed" because they never became real problems. But PRs welcome!!
>It shouldn't really be a job of random private companies to police the Internet.

They aren't policing the internet, they're policing their users of their service. If Github wanted to moderate the content on other people's websites I agree that would be weird and problematic.

> Can I make them actually responsible for their decisions and sue them for kicking out somebody they shouldn't or for failing to kick somebody they should?

I'm having a hard time understanding what you're getting at. Who do you think Github is going to discriminate against? "Internet Trolls" are not a protected class. The government does not require private companies to have to do business with anyone (a good thing!).

That implies every tab is using around 73 MB's of RAM. That's ridiculous!

Do you have a certain tab that consumes more? Or an extension that's not friendly to memory (such as AdBlock). Regardless, 8 GB is not normal.

112 tabs isn't normal either, for an "average joe". Apple sells to, and caters towards, "average joe's".
> You are beautiful, intelligent, and charismatic, as are your friends, co-workers, lovers.

Aren't all of these qualities measured relative to our neighbors? I.e., each of us is a genius compared to our ape forebearers, but if everyone around you is beautiful, intelligent, and charming, then no one is.

> You feel no hunger, no cold, no heat, no pain.

Again, isn't discomfort relative to what one is prepared for? Under such circumstances, wouldn't the slightest dip or peak in subjective well-being feel like a life-altering crisis?

"Connoisseur" is relevant https://xkcd.com/915/

Am I missing something, or is this just another economist who understands nothing about human desire?
> If she's not... why did she delete thousands of emails that were illegally on a private server?

Because she was covering up criminal behavior. You don't have to be evil to cover up criminal behavior. It's a very rational thing to do.

> Why did she lie about the source of protests and then leave American's to die?

She didn't want Americans to understand that their intelligence and military communities had supported extremist forces in Libya to oust a geopolitical opponent, and that these extremist forces themselves aren't particularly welcoming to America or its values. She didn't want comparisons to 9/11 and the Saudi support for those attacks on our home country.

She left Americans to die because she and the administration could not muster the support to mobilize, against international law, troop movements across borders as the activity in Libya had until that point been special operations and irregular warfare. It would have been difficult to breach international law to engage an enemy in the CIA annex to the State Department buildings - bases that on the record didn't exist.

All of this is very rational. Al Capone, similarly, was a very rational person, and not "evil" whatsoever. A rational person looks after themselves, their interests and the activities and events they stewart.

The author never defined "Free Software Ideals." Maybe I've gone off the deep end, but as somebody who's tried very hard to exclusively use free software since I was about 10, I don't think (s)he's coming anywhere close to promoting them with this article. Have I gone crazy?

Edit: OK, so I read further. Their end goal appears legit, but damn, that introduction has the opposite effect as it should. Or, perhaps, their target audience is closed-source users who like to make fun of those of us who have already escaped?
Thanks for the solid. Done.
Interesting solution and goal. With docker on windows now could also easiky leverage an apt repo everywhere.

Any feedback or questions welcome.
#[no_mangle] turns off the name mangling so it emits a symbol in the style C would. But AFAIK it doesn't force the function to use C calling conventions. As demonstrated in https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ffi.html#calling-rust-code-fr... you probably still need the `extern` keyword on your function definition, e.g.

#[no_mangle]
pub extern unsafe fn lsm_view_from_json(bytes: *const u8, len: c_uint,
err_out: *mut CError) -> *mut View
{

}

I really enjoyed Galaxy Quest, as parody with a lot of heart. Not exactly hard sci-fi, of course.
> People with no kids... As a parent, I find these individuals to be the most aggravating.

I have no kids (and I don't want any), but I'm radically pro-freedom for the kids. So the boundary is not to be parents vs. not-parents, but people who desire safety vs. people who desire freedom.
A third problem, they have to accept that they don't have complete control, only suggestions.

Accelerationism is irresponsible, and the human harm it will cause is irreparable.
I don't think you should feel guilty about writing that criticism. I feel almost completely the opposite as you do about DFW's writing style, but I recognize it's very much a subjective matter of taste. He gets a lot of hype, so that he has a lot of detractors only seems fair and balanced.
Far ahead of his time? No. This overwhelming optimism for technology is a very mainstream attitude you see among millennials and a lot of HN commenters.
How are piece wise functions NOT covered in normal math tracks? While not strictly necessary for algebra and geometry, I can't imaging being able to grok behavior at asymptotes in calculus and analysis without being somewhat comfortable with them. They were taught in middle/early high school in Maryland school systems, if I recall.

I've been a happy user of i3 for years now. I preferred KDE until 4 came out. From my perspective it was horrible and I went looking for an alternative.

> No, but as with everything else in life, experience counts.

Experience did not make me a better programmer or mathematician. Diving deep into the details to get a much better knowledge did.
this is pretty important here, given that we already have a sourcemap library we built in Rust (for our sentry-cli tool)
> Accelerationism is irresponsible, and the human harm it will cause is irreparable.

Prove the harm. The ACA is structurally unsound and failing. Clinton only recently has changed her immigration stance in order to woo the hispanic vote (Obama deported a record number of illegal immigrants). What harm is Trump going to do? Supreme court nominees neither candidate will be able to get through an obstructionist Congress?

If the possible harm had mattered, voters would've held the DNC responsible for their corruption (Bernie Sanders would've been a far better candidate for Democrats to run, but as the leaked DNC emails show, "the party has selected their nominee"). Voters did not, and this is the result.

EDIT: To those who have replied, HN throttling limits on my account have kicked in. You have yet to show Trump has the executive power to enact anything he's said he will do. He doesn't, which is why I am not concerned.
In 5 years there will be some new hot nodejs and then those current 20 year old will find the same thing and they will complain about the same thing. Oracle and Sap job pay pretty well and they are filled with old people (30+).

>Statistics is relevant to more fields than calc

Until calc is needed in the statistics. On which level do you even compare this, space or time complexity? I mean, are you saying, the complexity of the sum of the stochastic in use exceeds that of calc?

I think you gave an unfounded statement, without proof. i'm guessing you are biased to think statistics is harder, because you were less exposed to those classes and now you have remorse. If it was the other way around, you'd want more calc.

The way curricula are laid out, I'm getting the impression it is not so much about what is taught, school is rather a benchmark of abilities and a day care.
Yeah, but have you noticed a ton of articles on HN complaining about the problem that you fix? That's the difference here.
Very telling. We should listen.

I've been at a few companies that have failed because they were letting customers design their product. As in sales reps would meet with customers who would buy the product if we added x, y and z which they found absolutely critical.

I use RES, but I hate most parts of it.

Have you ever compared the page load times of reddit with and without RES? It's horrific. And adjusting the settings? they have search functionality for the settings because there's so many settings.

The only things I use from RES are the account manager and the subreddit manager. I hate the never ending reddit with a burning passion, and don't even get me started on the highlighting posts that you've clicked on crap.

RES is a bloated monstrosity.

>The article mentions that both candidates consider Snowden a traitor, with Trump explicitly using the word and Clinton calling for Snowden to be extradited to the United States under investigation for violating the Espionage Act.

Only 15% of American believe that Snowden is a hero, 30% call him a traitor outright and only 25% of them believe that he should be offered any type of deal/pardon.

http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/edward-snowden-rasmussen-po...

So both candidates either appeal too or represent to the vox populi.
There is an extern C in Rust as well however which should enforce c calling conventions.

I had never considered the difference between solitude and loneliness before. His words helped me understand that they are fundamentally different.

"Now and then, especially at night, solitude loses its soft power and loneliness takes over. I am grateful when solitude returns."

I went camping in an area without cell or internet service a few weeks ago, and this helps me understand the incredible experience I had. It was a strong dose of solitude, which had been missing in my day-to-day city life.

`#[no_mangle]` is currently a bit overloaded; there's discussion of whether this is correct or not:

My advisor would always make a joke to his classes, when that book came up, that it had a dual purpose name - - that it was foundational, but also because it's hard as concrete. I used it as reference in some of my math classes but haven't given it a thorough read.
Woah - did I miss the announcement that old is now 35 and above? Given the working range of professional engineers in the SF field, it sad that its not easier to invert the problem and build a Young-Fun-and-Full-of-Recent-Academic-Course-Material-Jobs.com.

The content about the Free Web was interesting. I wasn't aware of all the things that Chrome was capable of, especially with NaCl, something I've only briefly heard about. The Free Web movement seems like it will become more and more important as people and software migrate to the browser.

Yet instead of focusing on education, the primary purpose of the article seemed to be attacking me. Somehow being a user of vim and git on a POSIX platform makes me a Free Software Fetishist. Somehow not using open source in every part of my development stack makes me an enemy of free software. This article calls me a fetishist and tells me to open my mind to new ideas, then tells me that there is One True Path. The Free Web coming into being does not devalue the software that came before it.

An important part of free software is community. The author would do better with a helping hand rather than a fist to the face.
BT headphones, of course - perhaps they'll embrace wireless charging, too, and get it over with. Now if the portless machine gained IP67, I might be more willing to consider it...
Also, Liberals are also better poised for constructive opposition. For example, a better community overlap to facilitate widespread implementation of e2e crypto that will nullify any totalitarian government's edict. Without the chief salesperson wearing their mainstream brand, they'll be much less inclined to defend the status quo.

The rightist [0] philosophy seems more conducive to submitting, prepping, and tacitly hoping for collapse. (I'm not meaning to be dismissive - they earnestly seem philosophically aligned)

[0] "Conservative" as a term is basically useless, as being truly conservative implies fully supporting the current state of affairs! I'd plainly use the word "reactionary" but one might take offense, although one should not.
You can make a case that charisma only matters in contrast to its lack, and perhaps beauty is the same although I'm not as certain, but intelligence has an intrinsic value that ought to be evident by the fact that we built a technological civilization with it.
