I'm pointing out, that which is 100% factually correct, that he was accused of rape and fled from justice.

This is a matter of public record.

He skipped bail, costing his supporters £60K in surety.

For skipping bail he's now wanted for failure to appear, which is a criminal offence in the U.K. of which he is most certainly guilty.

Whether or not Assange is a rapist we can't ascertain because he fled justice rather than face the accusations.

Maybe if he ever leaves the wardrobe he's hiding from justice the case will be re-opened he'll answer the accused and we'll find out if he's a rapist or not.

But since there's no statue of limitations on his failure to appear, of which he is certainly guilty, it doesn't look like he's emerging from that attic any time soon.
There are no names on the record for the Obama story either. Why would you expect there to be? Of course people are not going to go on the record talking about the content of private and highly sensitive meetings.

Ahh, yes. That's nice. Did a bit more searching and DO has them as well. So they are headed that way. Will be interesting to see if they both fill the other gaps.
Git Town covers a ton of edge cases. Just look at their "features" folder. If something goes wrong, Git Town allows to cleanly abort and undo what it did so far and go back to where it started.

That's a lot safer than the unholy mess that ensues when most people try to run "git reset --hard" or "git push --force" manually.
Do you have any resources to expand on the issues with AR callbacks? I'm interested to read up on this.
I had to update a Windows 7 laptop recently and the process was far from easy, the update process hang at 100% cpu for hours and I had to manually install the monthly update rollout, average people won't do that and just disable the updates.
It's sad that I just learned right now that Chris Cornell actually passed away three days ago.
For some reason it seems perfectly fine to me (native english speaker).
First, yes, that's pretty much what deep neural networks are: layers of shallow machine models stacked atop each other, with each layer learning to recognize patterns at different scale; and we train all layers together end-to-end.

Second, it's not PR! This stacking of layers, when done right, can overcome the "curse of dimensionality." Shallow models like kNN, SVM, GP, etc. cannot overcome it; they perform poorly as the number of input features increases. For example, k-nearest-neighbors will not work with images that have millions of pixels each.

Third, I'm only scratching the surface here. There's a LOT more to deep learning than just stacking shallow models.
> There's no solution for an epidemic of fatherlessness

Bold claim.

> lots of people grow up without their fathers and do great.

"Lot's of people" succeed in poor families, in bad schools, in communities with crime. Trends and magnitude matter.

If the "single-parent" households were more equal across race, then perhaps it wouldn't be an area to focus on.

But they aren't.

> ignoring all the other challenges

No..

> there are much more obvious problems at work here than fatherlessness

> recognizing its lack of relevance.

I don't understand people who dismiss disparities between the fundamental societal structure, the core environment a child grows up in, the nuclear family, of one race to another as being insignificant.

I really don't understand how people can overlook its impact.

It even affects schooling and education, discipline, taking a role in ensuring a focus on "homework" vs getting in trouble / distracted outside of classroom, who children hang out with, why they fall into groups of bad influence as a proxy for male authority figures etc etc etc.

(I am NOT saying single mothers have no impact as well or that they are incompetent. Simply, that their job is made that much harder, and fathers have at least as much impact on child rearing as mothers, perhaps more in certain specific areas or for boys perhaps, and so cutting the parental contribution in half might have detrimental effects.)

"Family structure has grown in importance over time"
I stopped all Windows updates on my laptop because I use it mainly before going to bed to watch some videos and read a bit, and the constant updates and forced reboots (forced as in, it just CLOSES EVERYTHING and shuts down) are an incredible nuisance, I don't have that kind of time in the evening. I turn them on once in a while and do a big batch of updates, then I turn them off again.
That sounds plausible. Some people might believe the correlation, but not enough to disagree with sun-revolves-around-the-earth prevailing wisdom.
Ask HN: Which closed-source software would you most like to see the code for?
I would choose Winamp 2 as the early versions of Winamp is exactly how I think software should be, and I also have great memories with it.
A never-Rails dev here using Elixir/Phoenix, easily the best choice I've made after hearing positive things here on HN.

The Elixir community may be an amalgamation of Rails folks looking for better runtime performance and cool new tech, and Erlang folks looking for syntactic sugar and a growing developer community. (I'm neither.)

Elixir's author was one of Rails core contributors, which probably also helps in bringing the Rails crowd over. One could think of Elixir as a "better" version of Rails rewritten on top of the Erlang stack, even if Rails and Elixir are apples and oranges under the hood.

Thanks for sharing your story. That's awesome. Tell us more about tajiquan? Is it like tai chi? How long have you been doing it and what were the major effects ?

While I can't imagine what you've been through I have spent a lot of time pondering over what it'd be like to be a woman.
Hub is awesome, and orthogonal to what Git Town does. You can use both together, though.
> have it harder on average

"Harder" meaning the affects of poverty, right? Having two parents involved is only one way to address that.

Starting with talking about fatherlessness and "culture" is blaming the victims and, frankly, racist. I'm not saying a cycle of negative learned behaviors is irrelevant but there are so many other factors to address first.
Are you implying that WCry magically gets through firewalls? Last I read, that was not the case. So unless you're plugging in your brand new, unpatched machine into the public internet, without any router/firewall in between, you should be quite safe, no?
Ask HN: Ideal setup when sharing Gmail?
I'm working with a startup where we all share "inbox duty" on Gmail. What's the ideal way I can access the inbox, respond to email, and have everything remain on the server while I use Outlook 2016 as my email client app from my Win10 laptop? Extra points if I can apply Gmail labels from within Outlook as well.

Basically, I want to use the email app of my choice without damaging the experience for everyone else.

Yes, I really like Outlook. Don't judge It's what I'm comfortable with, my fingers have muscle memory from years of using the same keyboard shortcuts, and I customize the hell out of it so it practically doesn't resemble the factory-installed version.
Ask HN: What do want to see in programming language?
I'm developing a new Programming Language. And I want it to be different.

> squash-merge the password-reset branch into the master branch (this makes it look like a single, clean commit, without the convoluted merge history and the many intermediate commits on your branch)

Is this what most people do? And is this something you can turn off with Git Town? I don't like to to squash-merge, I spend time making sure my commits are as much logical and self-contained units as they can be in my branches, and I want to preserve the ability to revert and/or bisect them later.

So many comments about "fatherlessness" with no mention of the discriminatory practices of mass incarceration is suspect.
Depends on what you want. It's used (for many years usually) Hardware which increases the probability of failure and you only get whatever single configuration is currently available. It's nice though that they offer you to cancel at no charge for 14 days and the variety of configurations available which are often more asymmetric compared to their usual offerings, e.g. if you primarily need a lot of disk space you don't have to pay for a lot of RAM and a fast CPU.

Right. Whether it's the browser's XMLHttpRequest or localStorage or NodeJS's readFileSync JS can block on I/O.

But since the language is single-threaded (or at least, it defines nothing about multiple threads with shared memory), there is a strong incentive not to have blocking functions.
FCC won't publish evidence of alleged DDoS attack, amid net neutrality battle
Exactly. I've seen this problem on Windows 7 as far back as 2012. Any machine that is not constantly receiving updates will run into this issue sooner or later. On weaker machines, the update process will actually eat all the machine's memory and likely never finish. Also, the manual update which fixes this problem changes every few months. At this point I feel that Microsoft just wants to discourage people from using Windows 7.
"When you do X, it makes me feel Y."

I saw this phrase several times in this article and the linked article on "non-violent communication," but I don't think it's a particularly productive phrase.

Consider the possibility that no one can "make you" feel anything, and that you are ultimately responsible for your own emotional state. For example, you can't command me to feel happy or sad. My emotional response is something I'm a party to, in combination with my own unresolved fears and insecurities.

Instead, I suggest phrasing it in the present tense: "When you do X, I feel Y." That is observational and avoids any accusation or blame, so you can focus on the core issue at hand.
Your argument would be given. more credence if you didn't compare it to slavery. You are insulting and belittling the conditions of modern slaves like foreign laborers in Dubai whose passports are taken away when they enter the country and women who are forced to take drugs and work as sex slaves.
That's also how I understood it. Your NAT usually blocks incoming connections by default - it does not know which computer in the network behind it was meant to be the receiver anyway. If you direct your NAT to send all incoming connections to one PC, then this PC is vulnerable.

Git Town started out as Git aliases written in Bash. Version 3 was many hundred lines of Bash, pushing it beyond what Bash was designed for. At some point it got ridiculous, and we got requests for Windows support, as well as better integration with the Github API. Hence the rewrite in Go.

It would also be clearer if "looking for extremophiles" were moved to an earlier position in the sentence.

Microsoft has recommended turning off SMB1 support in the past: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/filecab/2016/09/16/stop-... - though perhaps not prominently enough.

However, you might be able turn off SMB1 support is if you still have machines with Windows XP or 2003. This is a similar situation to SSLv3 when POODLE was discovered, in that the difficulty of getting rid of old protocols, is that of getting rid of the last ones (Though I realise WCry exploits an implementation bug).
I'm not sure when there is going to end up but because google amp is hosted on google servers you can actually read such articles on GoGo plane flights with out paying for Internet. It was kinda nice although I'm not sure how long until this will be fixed.

If this idea takes off and you're known as one of the first engineers, you'll still get something valuable: a stronger resume.
> using threads internally (thread per IO operation) would defeat a purpose of async system

Yes and no.

Having single threaded JS (no matter if runtime uses epoll) allows for JS concurrency concerns to be limited to a small number of places, i.e
no pre-emptive. This makes concurrency in JS easier to reason about.
10 Hallway Conversations in 2017 about Web Development
About social control, I'm thinking of recent elections. I suspect that targeted propaganda is now the new standard. It's an active panopticon. Adversaries have surveillance-based models for everyone, and can individually shape their experience as desired. Or at least, for the weak-minded.

> Or, to put it another way, we could design a network that caused everyone to become an asshole, just as we could design one that caused everyone to become an angel.

Well, one could do that as described above. But then, who gets to define "asshole" and "angel"? The Internet is becoming increasingly fragmented, with each culture attempting to impose standards. I can not imagine a common standard for the Internet.

> Without the levers of totalitarianism, realistic outcomes are probably between those two extremes. But how we connect people still strongly influences their experiences and behavior.

I prefer relatively totalitarian forums, such as HN and Wilders. I do occasionally lose it, and get spanked. But that's cool, in order to have discussions that are civil and interesting. The rules for some forums seem crazy to me, so I avoid them.

But overall, I believe that, by default, the Internet should be anonymous and censorship-free. As a global agora. If that leads some to be assholes, so be it. Because it's the next step for humanity.

Basically, we need to learn how to ignore the assholes. I mean, who cares what people say in alt.talk.bestiality? Or post on Encyclopedia Dramatica? The problem has been seeing that bullshit migrate to Facebook and Twitter, and visible to the naive and susceptible.

It is a hard problem. But it's not a new one. Many countries became chaotic during industrialization, as the masses moved from farms to cities, and were less constrained socially. But that was transient. So we just need the Internet equivalent.

Multiplatform Trojan Written in .NET Offers API and Remotely Loaded Plugin Support
It's a trade-off. Many devs don't know how to do that, don't care to do that, will never learn to do that, and for them squash merge is a good option.
Phoenix is heavily inspired by Rails, and I also think some of the core contributors are the same. No reason people unfamiliar with Rails can't use/learn it, but if they are previously familiar with Rails it can be easier.
Not in its hayday. By the very act of clicking the 'exit' sign on a windows 10 update prompt, you were consenting to the update. The methods of turning off the background update service through task scheduler or registry keys was thwarted multiple times. The only real way to totally prevent upgrade was to disable windows update.
Ah I agree :) But it had some impact at the time
Specific gravity of gasoline is roughly .74 and diesel is roughly .85, so point taken. Agreed that electric will be the best solution.
In short: you lose control of what is happening, especially when you expand/inherit other classes. These kind of problems arise after few months of development, when the codebase is grown enough and starts becoming even more difficult to change or extend.

There is an affordable foiling kit for popular sailing dinghies like the Laser. I already saw several of these throughout Europe, e.g. in the Netherlands, on the Baltic Sea and on lake Müggelsee in Berlin. Foiling at ~6bft, these boats are incredibly fast. And just seeing them seemingly fly above the water from a distance is really special.
I made one change that made a difference: Cancel all-you-can-eat subscriptions, including Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. When you must opt-in every time to consume content, it makes it easier to instead dedicate your time to creating content.
Unless it doesn't exhibit gravitational properties with itself?

But unlike Japan, isn't China's infrastructure still well below demand (there were some articles about 3+ hour commutes in greater Beijing posted to HN some months ago)?

Even if demand will flatline and then slowly decline, they'd still need to build loads just to meet it adequately.
Admittedly, I didn't focus so much on the comments as the submissions there. Their comments are certainly more in line with what you'd want from a presence on a site like this, given how they answer other people's questions and all that.

Do you think if you had been born into a society where male and female roles weren't so binary, and you as a man were allowed to, for example, wear long flowing skirts and other "female" clothes, that you would have felt such a strong need to transition to female?

I sometimes think our culture's binary approach to gender creates a sense of imbalance and alienation for those people who do not fit into the binary. It saddens me that these people see no other choice but to loathe their sex, and make such drastic and medically questionable efforts to transition to the binary other.

I think there must be a way for people to learn to love how their bodies are, even if that sex does not necessarily match the cultural mandate of the "corresponding" gender. It's a hard fight, but it's a fairer fight to fight the culture, rather than one's own body.
> People who tried VR seem to be pretty optimistic about it's future, but I don't see many uses except for games and maybe some specialised applications.

I've never tried VR or AR, but I'm confident that in 50 years we will spend most of our waking hours having an image projected onto our retina from a pair of glasses or contact lenses.

People now spend an hour or more each day commuting to work because face-to-face communication is so much more efficient than via the internet. But that advantage will slowly erode as VR/AR improves. Eventually most people will work remotely, and this will have huge consequences: People will no longer need to live in an expensive city; companies will be able to hire workers without regard to international borders.
I suppose the counterargument there is "Win10 is not the security I want". IMHO I would define "security-only" --- or perhaps "critical-security-only" --- to be fixing remote code execution (e.g. WannaCry, various IE exploits, if/when anything is discovered in TCP/IP stack, etc.) and very little else.
> I guarantee you you WILL NOT burn out if your thing goes well.

I strongly disagree with this. I'm a compulsive person, I used to say yes to everything, I enjoy everything. I don't think I ever spent effort towards something that wasn't rewarding in some way or other.

However. Stress is stress and it can be negative or positive. Stress makes you perform better, adrenaline pumping, your senses sharpen. It can all be in a positive loop with great feedback, everyone loving what you do, amazing results, and still you end up burnt out.

My stress manifests physically, "skipped" heartbeats, adrenaline rushes when waking up in the night, I even got atricular fibrilation (AF) and was hospitalised to be "reset" through one of those heart machines you see in ER. I was convinced there was something very wrong with me. Heart problem? Doctors did test after test, and nothing.

I learnt my lesson, I know how to recognise the signs now. I can manage it by just taking care of myself.

But guess what, every single thing I do is fun, positive, great feedback.

>This is what irks me. I view git as high level and opinionated already

However high level you think it is, it has no opinion on workflows and there's a need for a tool that will automate and enforce git workflows.

I'm not sure if this tool the answer, but there is a need for some sort of tool like this.

I wrote a hacky 'git sync' script at an old company and it achieved what sending a bunch of developers on a course about git did not (it sped up the workflow and cut down on git errors).
