>Because we don't live in a Disney movie where everyone gets along and lives happily ever after? Do you think if we get rid of CIA the Russians will just disband the FSB?

No, but I'm not American, and I know that 80% of the world has been royally fucked over (toppling governments, meddling, dictatorships supported) by the CIA, whereas few have had any issues with FSB (just/mainly their neighboring countries, and not the sweetest ones either).

At the time of USSR, yes, but not with Russia, which is, and will always be, a second player that just happens to have inherited nukes, so they can't be easily pushed over.

And same for China. Until now at least it was others who were the aggressors to China. I mean, the Senkaku Islands dispute? What's that compared to the hell that Japan created (and never recuperated or even really regretted) in Manchuria?

(All of those countries of course have disputes and issues with bordering countries and territories they claim as their own. But only the ex-colonial powers, the US and the diseased USSR harmed countries all over the world -- which can also be gauged by military bases presence).

(And concerning "territories they claim as their own", it takes a lot of "down-with-whataboutism-lalala-hands-in-the-ears" for US to point to Nepal and forget Puerto Rico, or for that matter Hawaii. And let's not go further back...)

>The entire world will suddenly love US and try to suck up to the biggest superpower?

Well, CIA is one of the main reasons the entire world doesn't love US.

Or rather, even in the developing world, people will love the country, the people, the music, the movies, the food, etc., but the foreign policies? Not so much...
These are possible explanations.
Could this have anything to do with Wikileak's release of iOS hacks by the CIA?
Hey, I upvoted your comment because it furthered discussion :)

Russia has been cultivating opposition to US hegemony since the falling out after WWII. Back in the day, it was leftists. But since the 80s, they've focused more on libertarians, anarcho-capitalists, conspiracy theorists, etc. Look at RT, for example, and who its fans are. So yes, Assange and associates roughed out Cypherpunks: Freedom and the Future of the Internet (2012) on his RT show, "World Tomorrow". The goal is "independence from the security guards of the world". For better or worse, that's pretty much the US.

Bottom line, I think that it's an enemy of my enemy relationship. I can't imagine that he'd deny that Russia is a kleptocratic horrorshow. Also, he clearly has a personal grudge against Ms. Clinton.
> The greater LA as a whole is also pretty dense, denser than NY metro area.

Sorry, this is not even close. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_b...

There are many ranking areas in NYC in the top 25, and only a few from LA. NYC overall is ranked #6! Los Angeles doesn't even place in the top 130.
I got two kids: 4 and 1. The little one is a horrible sleeper right now. Me and my wife work roughly 30h a week each. 50/50 taking care of the kids. Kids are in daycare for roughly 7 hours. We commute 2h a day if not doing home office.

I just stopped bothering what to learn or accumulate green boxes. The only time github graph looked like a jungle was when I was hired to work on a sponsored open source project.

I tend to read on the train ride if not completely wasted. Coding is kind of not fun while commuting. Topics differ however.

In the evenings I just do whatever I like to do after chores. Sometimes it's coding, sometimes just playing games, mostly screwing around the internets or reading non profession books.

Demand for computer science is not (yet) declining, quite the contrary. So my need for learning does not come from competition.

The most quality time to learn something new is an hour here an hour there at work. I try to be efficient to generate the desired output so I can get a bit of slack to get my head into something new coding wise. Call me unethical, but it seems to work out for me and clients. There is only one life to live.
I saw CONSOLE and ASP profiles .NET Core profiles. Can .NET Core also be used to develop GUI apps?
This piece is another cheap "strike it while the iron is hot" hit job to get attention. Yes, Uber seems to be having serious culture issues but the underlying problems of sexism and favoritism towards "high achievers" are industry-wide - not just limited to Uber. They have a lot at stake - it's only fair to assume that they will come out of this mess and fix their problems as soon as possible.

Uber employees, both current and former, will have no problem getting good offers - tech companies have biases but are smart enough not to mass generalize. The fact that they "made it into Uber" far outweighs any speculation around Uber's culture.

The real black mark is the "hit job oriented" culture of media. They need to step back and rethink what they stand for.
The most relatable (and funny) leaks from Vault7 developers
It would be better if you provided more recent examples: medical science was very primitive in the 19th century, and Galileo was not persecuted by scientists. More recently, Marshall and Warren's research on stomach ulcers quickly led to the rejection of the expert consensus which had prevailed for decades, because technological advances enabled them to present convincing evidence to a profession which had come to accept the importance of scientific research.
My Ultimate Jira Personal Kanban
When I did my CS degree, Lisp, Prolog and (back then) Caml Light were forbidden in our compiler design assignments, because it would be "too easy".
We're still young so we have plenty of time! :)
If you build it yourself with the same compiler and options, and get the same bit-exact binary, then it's safe to assume the binary was built from those sources, since infiltrating the compiler team is not an easy job.
unfortunately, just like any other private platform, they don't need to be consistent or follow the rules all the time.

I say, don't go native unless you must (for performance reasons etc). push the web forward instead!
Archaea: The 'Dark Matter' of the Microbial World
Part of this journey involves getting to grips with things like the KISS principle – either through academia or learning the hard way. Keep up the good work, you'll figure it out.

There were countless times where I've seen junior devs approach a problem by thinking up the most complicated and clever solution possible, only to have to rewrite it all later because it just wouldn't work in reality. It's only after these hurdles that one discovers that the cleverness isn't in creating complexity from the get go – it's in keeping things straightforward.
Questions&Answers about impulse voltage test
Is there any news on when .NET Native's stupid AOT compiler (i.e. UWP store apps) will support F#? It is becoming scandalous now. We have a circa 800k LOC F# Xamarin codebase working on iOS and Android but cannot spin up the UWP variant for this reason.
Science is hard, especially if done properly. The least they could do is to spit teams in two groups, based on whether they use a technique or not (e.g. unit testing, using OOP) and see if it makes any difference. It's far from perfect, but better than nothing.

> That's because no one even knows how to start doing "science" in this direction.

I suspect the reason almost no one do SW science is that nobody really cares. Most people just repeat some dogmas they like, e.g. they say: "you broke liskov substitution principle, that's bad" without any proof.

I guess people just like flamewars (who doesn't :)
Possibly but the consequences of leaking secret (classified) information is pretty bad in both the U.S. and Russia.

I think having to flee to Russia with no option to leave that country for the rest of your life to suck pretty bad. Snowden says he'd gladly come home to face trial provided he's offered a fair trial. So he'd risk it all for a fair trial but U.S. officials won't give him one.
Request for a new header: State-Of-The-Art
I guess it's because then they would be getting visits which are not paid for in any way(they can't use the money off the licence fee, and they can't show ads).
> i believe there's 'hot code push' potential

It's called CodePush, and it's a plugin for React Native (does not come with it). It is developed by Microsoft: https://microsoft.github.io/code-push/

Doubt it would get taken down.
Still, how do they avoid someone writing an ad-hoc interpreter and reading code from e.g. PNG images? Data == code, as we know.
Probably not, the timing is too tight, and if Apple were aware of active exploitation, they would probably compeltely remove / block affected apps, instead of giving the devs a notice to improve the next release.
> “To be perfectly honest, I don’t want to work with someone who did well in that environment,” he said. “If you did well in that environment upholding those values, I probably don’t want to work with you.”

My faith in humanity has been instantly restored by 10% :)
>Why? It's perfectly productive once you let some goats on that land and then eat the goats.

Because it isn't needed for food production anymore.

>If your argument against meat is waste

My argument against meat isn't waste. Less waste is a benefit but not a primary reason.

>You're missing the point, which is that we're by necessity creating all this other material that can be used to feed animals as a necessary byproduct of creating the grains to feed the animals.

I've read this a few times and I keep reading it the same way "We produce waste that can be used to feed animals as a bitproduct of producing feed for animals?"

>Pasture raised livestock is a thing, and requires less capital and investment.

And tons more cleared grassland. Like an unsustainable amount.
> We are contacting Apple in order to get further clarification on why Rollout doesn't fall under the clause that lets developers push JS to live apps as long as it does not modify the original features and functionality of the app.

As a security-conscious user, live patching is awful. Nothing guarantees me that the benign app I've been granting various permissions to doesn't get altered by a fourth party adversary through coercion or hacking and gets wiretapped by a malicious dynamic payload.
Please see my other comment about the Panama Papers. That went to German media. I occasionally see leaks about Russia in NY Times etc. But they generally aren't styled as "leaks", just reporting.

Also, Snowden specifically didn't work through Wikileaks, because he didn't want a mass leak, but rather substantive and "responsible" reporting. Wikileaks just helped him find refuge in Russia.
Then you should change to reddit. The spirit of Hacker News encourages you to argue not to blindly downvote everyone that doesn't have the same opinion.
Yes, but how many "usability studies" are done for writing software? I've seen onle a few and people write articles like this without any proofs daily.
If it's about work history, then why mention that "even young, white, physically fit dudes" still "deserve the benefit of the doubt" if they "previously worked at Uber"?

If someone reads a resume from a former Uber employee, and the evaluation process includes well, his parents came from Korea and he doesn't lift weights, so..., is that really a good thing?
Hey, germans are humans too!
This is an excellent example of telling the facts while distracting from the truth. He's afraid that he will be extradited to the US after being extradited to Sweden. The rape accusations are thought to be just a trick to get him to Sweden. If he had the guarantee that he would not be extradited he would go to Sweden immediately.
Cool. I'm applying now ;)
GitLance: How we ranked 9M GitHub developers – Medium
Vivegam Official Teaser
Simple: JIT compilers are banned and so that excludes any modern browser's JavaScript implementation from iOS. But anyone using Apple's JavaScriptCore has nothing to fear.
Not at this stage, if you don't want some sort of pre-beta 1-man project.

Microsoft is not investing so it will have to be community managed.
Hahaha, no. Every time the argument for "maintainability", or some other subjective quality like "readability" is mentioned, another question must be answered "to who?" The class keyword was added a few years too late to accomodate the horde of desktop Java/.NET developers moving to the web platform, who simply did not grok prototypal inheritance. Now they don't have to.

>`Array.forEach` and `Object.keys` were new features in ES5, should people just leave their old `for` loops anyways?

Emphatic yes, people should keep using their "old" loops. They do less and are much faster.

Show HN: Easy to use Task Manager - assign tasks via Email/Slack
Through P/Invoke, sure. But WinForms, WPF, and UWP (and Silverlight, and XNA) are not part of .NET Core by-design. Though I assume someone will port Xamarin over, if they haven't done already.

I'd love to see SDL support so OpenRA can have another build target.
I think they host it on their own home server, or at least did at the time of the WIPO case, since that mentions conserving DSL bandwidth.
Doing that now. Thanks for the write-up.

So although separated by time but not by clocks (the intel setup has the roughly the same base clocks and the same ram as the t4 setup) the 40 thread Xeon system had roughly double the perf of the 128 thread t4 setup running speccjvm2008 https://www.spec.org/jvm2008/results/jvm2008.html
Sendtask lets you assign tasks to anyone using email - then automatically builds a shared workspace with all the tools you need for an efficient workflow.

It's free to use - unlimited users and unlimited tasks! No account required - assign tasks to anyone using their email. You can work directly from Email and Slack

We're using it internally for a few months and would love to get feedback from a broader audience.

The CIA Didn’t Break Signal or WhatsApp, Despite What You’ve Heard
One insight I had with kids is that, assuming you have a willing partner, you can free up evening time for yourself by doing "nights off.". I hugely believe that kids and parents benefit from quality time together. However, it feels that it is not always necessary for both parents to be involved. My wife and I switch up at least once a week where one has the whole evening off. Often, it's more than once a week. The free parent can go and meet up with friends for supper, go to a meetup, or work on a side project.

I learn at work. Not always, but a little bit every day. It is rarely a new library or language. Often, it's a little insight into how to name functions better, or a subtle shift in my philosophy of how code should be organized. It compounds heavily over time, and makes me the experienced developer I am today.

To answer your question, some people are superhuman. Some are just better at marketing and aggrandizing their ability to split time. Some have kids but don't spend time with them.

Try to find a good balance that satisfies you. Be cognizant of your time management, energy levels, and expectations. Consider how your diet, exercise, and sleep affect your day. If you have resources, consider outsourcing some work like house chores, laundry, shopping, and cooking to free up some time. Most importantly, make sure you realize that it's OK not to be like everyone else.

As a side note, my public GitHub account graph is a bad way to judge my professional activity. I push code multiple times a day to GitHub repos, but only have 7 public contributions in the last year. A huge majority of my work is in private repos.

Well, yes, that's why it's a protected category. It's the fact that it's a protected category that distinguishes it from non protected categories. That's the distinction and that's why the same doesn't apply there as for any random thing.

If you substitute "poor programming skills environment" it suddenly makes sense. That's the thing with substitutions. They change the meaning.

I'm all in favour of letting people discriminate on these grounds. They're the people reducing their own hiring pool. Everyone else is going to evaluate the candidates directly for culture and consequently have a competitive advantage.
You make it sound like this change was a snap decision. It's been known for at least 10 months now that project.json was going away. All the documentation I stumbled upon on github also made this clear.

While I would love a simpler, more readable project file, I understand that the tooling already out there relying csproj format, probably makes it not worthwhile changing.
I have both this "to learn" list and an ever expanding bookshelf (which grows faster than I can read the damn things, mostly thanks to recommendations in HN comments).

Being 5 months into the parenting adventure, I seem to get a few hours a month on each side project at the moment! It really does make you prioritise. (And work harder on things I can do on my rail commute than other tasks).

I haven't got to the "wants to play with me" part yet, just the "oh man, I just spend half an hour staring at the baby being cute" stage. :)
I just looked at the site and it sounds real exciting (but way too difficult for me). Can I ask how you guys are funded? I saw that there is a ~$2000 payout for the winner of the most recent challenge.
Ok, so there's no direct access to your App Store but idea is same - rollout can "hot fix" aka pwn all users at once. I'd be angry if I were apple too.
Given that key HR people at Uber come from Google, is it possible that Uber senior management actually knew about the issues surrounding their star SVP hire from Google when they hired him and were OK with it until reporters were tipped off due to current events and they started sniffing around? I am a little dubious of Uber's narrative that they first found out about this from reporters and fired him soon after.
They did the same thing with Skype for Business, which is just Lync, warmed over.
2018 Ford Fiesta ST – New Three-Cylinder Turbo Demon Hatch
I acknowledge I have no hard evidence to point to back up my claim. It comes down to an intuitive feeling that WL's been compromised somehow by the Russians. I think the reason for this feeling is based on the actions of WL all of which have alternative explanations but taken as a whole defy what I think are reasonable expectations about how a neutral organization like WL would conduct itself.

Whether or not you were a Clinton supporter or not, it was pretty shady to time and stagger the DNC releases for maximum political damage. That's simply not how a neutral arbiter of openness would conduct itself. I think that on its own is enough to refute any claims that WL is neutral or that their mission is about openness.
> I haven't been able to figure out how to get NuGet to run properly on Linux.

Use the "dotnet" binary and just run "dotnet restore"? This will restore whatever packages your project references-

Or are you thinking about pakage-management, as in searching for and installing new packages?
The point is that it is easy to argue / disagree with:

"If it is built on the back of of an authoritarian regime with a human rights violations list several volumes long, it is a bit harder to appreciate the progress."

By taking the sarcastic route, you force everyone who thinks that way to agree with you.

For example, some people like to push the better part of an operating system over the browser to anyone who views their page, under the guise of client-side javascript frameworks.

By pointing this out with sarcasm, you would force them to "agree" with you, while making them realize it is absurd.

I think the parent's post wouldn't have been as powerful if they had simply straightforwardly written what they had in mind - sarcasm can get readers to see the absurdity of lauding something.

Sometimes adding a /s is advisable but not in this case, as the sarcastic part includes blatantly negative language ("authoritarian regime with a human rights violations list") and so is quite clear.
There's still a bunch of fundamental changes to how the XML-based MSBuild files work, such as the addition of wildcards and recursive includes, so expect a wait for the rest of the ecosystem to catch-up.

Note that the move back to MSBuild from Project.json was prompted by pragmatism rather than ideology - I suspect the JSON-camp are biding their time before putting forward another proposal.
> Reading a book while standing on a crowded train is not that hard...

I can read a book or a newspaper while in a tramway or a bus only if I'm standing up, otherwise I get car sickness. I very rarely choose to sit down when using public transport for exactly this reason (strangely enough I can read while sitting down when riding the train).
Ask C++ compilers when they have to chew through Boost ;)
You can have:
1. your partner not working and taking care of kids
2. a nanny hired for after office hours
3. parents helping (realistically short term only of course)

Can't think of other options. Just one kid can easily fill up 24h of a day without a problem, as a bonus leaving you with 45 minutes of sleep only - and the kid will be just fine, i.e. with enough energy to do it to you again, no problem.
There are various phases that I've observed:

1. They can't move stage. Depending on their sleep schedule, this is easy, or it's still tiring.

2. They can move. They still have the baby sleep schedule. No sleep, no time.

3. They have a normal sleep schedule. You can sleep.

4. They can play with other kids. A chance to save time, if you can use it!

5. They go school. You have time.

6. They are teenagers. You wish they spent more time with you.

7. They move out. You miss them a lot.

8. They move far away. You miss them even more.
In Istanbul, fat cats are a good thing
Yes.

Reminds me of working with someone who was a devout Christian. They'd never tell a lie, but were more than happy to give you just enough of the truth to let you walk away with an understanding that was completely the opposite of what had happened. After seeing this a couple times, I realized that there was a material difference between always telling the truth, and actually being honest.

They serve around 600MB per month (calculated based on the 2015 traffic numbers and current page size of 4.19KB).

Based on their IP, they are hosted on DigitalOcean where even the cheapest plan provides 1TB of transfer per month, so bandwidth is not an issue.
