> Because almost all “hacking” is boring, and/or conceptually dense and/or non-cinematic.

Similarly, has any show ever portrayed writing accurately?

Any kind of writing. Screenwriting. Doesn't matter. It's the same problems as you list there: The actual act of putting words in order is determinedly, obstinately non-cinematic.

It can't be unfamiliarity, given that writers are writing those scenes, so it has to be the simple fact training a camera at someone staring into space and/or working quietly is a dumb idea in a visual medium.

The activities surrounding writing can be portrayed, the brainstorming and planning sessions and maybe even some of the research, but the act itself is way too internal.
the takeaway is that you can do it, as the title suggests :)

Firearms are legal. If you create an illegal firearm (banking trojan), and did the same, yes - you'd be partially liable.
The fraud part, which also happens to have been the illegal part, is that he misrepresented the size of the situation while soliciting investments. It might eventually have been true, but was specifically not true at the time he made the statements he made.

That said, I agree that my analogy was bad, and I wasn't trying to assert that Shkrelli deliberately set the house on fire as much as I was just looking for an appropriate analogy of something that is illegal even though it did not have any financial damages.

The point was that while damages from fraud may be financial, the fraud is the damage, and the lie is the crime.
The reason you like Martin is because you are young and naive and you wish you had his life. This is further evidenced by your very black-and-white, idealistic "lying is the worst thing a person can do" mentality.

I can only hope then when you grow older, you will realize how ridiculous your current way of thinking is.

> Edit: I don't know why I'm being downvoted. I'm being honest. Fuck you people, frankly.

This is exactly the response that I would expect from a young person like you when they face criticism. Haters gonna hate, am I right?

To be fair, it's only 12 miles away. While definitely a pain I don't think it's totally unreasonable especially considering there are almost certainly legitimate operational needs for a larger facility.

In London that's about the same as moving an office from West London to East London (which is happening all the time).
The problem is now Congress can sit back and do nothing for a few years regarding Pharma, since the masses and media will be satisfied with this. Nothing changes.

They really do put out some great stuff - ReSharper is tremendously useful for .NET developers, YouTrack is one of the best (if lesser-known) issue trackers out there, and DataGrip is a fantastic database management tool (especially for Postgres, since pgAdmin 3 doesn't support newer versions and pgAdmin 4 is a major step backwards).
There already is a security conference in Europe just as large run by the chaos computer club in Germany.
Pros:

1. The GC provides a huge time-saving net over a ton of possible memory errors. Not to mention the code is so much easier to read when you aren't having to deal with memory on every line.

2. The debugging experience is brilliant - because there is always metadata available, you can literally inspect everything.

3. Compilation time is super fast.

4. Code samples are available for pretty much everything. And when there aren't, you can always interop into C++ or whatever else.

Cons:

People unfamiliar with the language forget about the GC and let it do all their dirty work. They then get angry when it bites back because of all the allocations they are doing each frame. The answer is to use pooling, and structure your code in a way that works with the GC (not against it), and all these problems go away.
There's this weird feeling that somehow, even though he's gouging everyone who pays for insurance at best and just the sick at worst and after being found guilty of fraud we should still like him and because why? Because he's familiar with internet culture in the same way we are? Afterall, he may be a fraudster and a gouger but he's not so bad because he's also a troller! He may be a conman but he's our conman (and intelligent!)
Being that you're a LO contributor, then - thank you for your work! I use LibreOffice all the time and it's replaced Microsoft at the home of virtually every friend and relative who comes to me for tech support. I'm yet to hear of any problems using it from any of them.
>I quite like Martin. I talked to him a few time on YouTube, whilst he was live streaming.

He's a sociopath, of course you liked him. That's what those kind of people do. Build confidence and exploit people.
That's different, though. The goal of a parole suitability hearing is to determine whether an inmate poses an unreasonable risk of danger to society if released from prison. A data point like "this prisoner murdered some people" is very relevant to that determination.
> So you generally believe people are guilty until proven innocent, and I always believe people are innocent until they are proven guilty.

Is indicting people for crimes they are alleged to have committed consistent with your position? Because that's all that's happened so far.

The FBI asserts that he created malware. He denies it. An indictment and a trial will figure out which of them is lying.
Yeah everyone is just emotional and not using their brains. This is clearly the easiest route to take for the fbi. I appreciate our government being resourceful. However, if it turns out that the allegations are false and that this is harassment I will grab my pitchfork as well.

>the solution is not to wish that people like Shkreli don't raise prices on their drugs

I can wish whatever the hell I want to wish. Just because it's legal doesn't mean it's right, and everyone here arguing that he's a good person because he's not doing anything illegal is inherently arguing that "legal" == "morally right".

No. He's still a shitty person and I can wish him the most painfully infected ingrown toenails and I will still sleep soundly at night.

I wish that people would do the right thing. I also wish Congress would fix our health care issues. I can do both, and they're both just as likely to happen. In the meantime, he deserves all the public shame in the world.
Last remaining whaling ship? Unfortunately the Japanese whaling factory ships that come done this way are very real.
i get where it's from - i guess to me the theme is more about hubris. in the sense it was quoted here, it could apply to basically any artifact one encounters.
The code generator is indeed different, the runtime is still Mono.

Mono today has two code generators: Mono's built it one, and an LLVM one. Both generate code after Mono loads and processes the assembly.

Unity developed a different front end to the runtime that does the compilation from IL to C++, the result still requires the Mono runtime to provide services at execution time.

They are currently upgrading their Runtime and are making a version with all the greatest features available coming.
It's sad to see how many news outlets misreported this as CMD.EXE (The Register) or the "Command Prompt" (several others). It is of course the colour scheme of console windows (managed by CONHOST) that is being updated. And only newly minted ones, at that.

I wonder whether there's some sort of fad about console window colour schemes that is currently sweeping Microsoft.

> Here's hoping AmigaOS 3.1 developers somehow get Firefox (or another HTML5 browser) ported once these FPGA accelerators become more common.

I think the honest problem is 3.1 is locked down, really. It's not ever been open sourced, just reverse engineered (see AROS, MorphOS, AmigaOS 4.1). I've not heard of a single instance where the 3.9 or 4.1 users feel they have a viable, modern system they can realistically use. 4.1 works on PPC hardware for goodness sake. How old is that? Just being real. Much of this has to do with software support (lack thereof) as well as driver support.

Hang on to that 2000. And enjoy it. But I wouldn't try and push it into "modern" daily driver use.

Ideally I think the OS(es) in dev today would all work together with the hardware teams and go the route Linux took. Let Hyperion et al continue to package up software and sell it commercially (like RedHat). But open source the Amiga OS and let the community run with it. Make it a "real" and a viable alternative.

It's just a complete and utter mess in the meantime. And getting all of the current parties to talk and work with each other...
Nearly every iPhone I see is wrapped in a case to protect it (i.e. making it thicker).

The current iPhone 7 is 7.3mm thick. An additional 10% would mean 8mm. It's not a razor -- you don't need to shave with it.
That effort continues, we have an update in Mono's blog and we are about to share details on our next concurrent/parallel milestone soon.
Many/most forms of hacking could be construed as stealing if you squint hard enough. What was this community founded around again?

Do you think "disruption" is a peaceful, happy, 100% beneficial process for everyone involved? Is Uber stealing by taking business from incumbents that play by a different (regulated) rulebook?
The restrictions @mkmk is talking about apply to public radio stations, like NPR (and maybe some college stations).

The key distinctions are that underwriting has to be short (15 seconds each, 60 seconds total), non-competitive (you have to mention them all underwriters of a program), only at the beginning/end, and can't include a call to action. In other words, an underwriting message can say "This program brought to you by Crazy Eddie's Autos, purveyors of new and antique European cars" but not "COME ON DOWN to CRAZY EDDIE'S AUTO'S. WE'RE HAVING A BLOW-OUT SALE THIS WEEKEND ONLY blah blah"

Privately-owned stations can and do run either kind, however.
They have some hard comparisons in some of their earlier blog posts on how spacy compares to the other popular open source NLP libraries. In my experience it has been much easier to use and faster than things like Stanford's library or NLTK. In general it's aimed at production or commercial use, whereas the other libraries I typically hear mentioned are aimed at a more academic audience.
Unity is just now updating the runtime for the first time in seven years. I think only the 2017.x releases have the new Mono, and most platforms use their IL2CPP AoT compiler I believe
It certainly feels that way :(
Another one bites the dust. This is a trend/fad that will likely be reversed once properly studied.

My wife went to a medical school that had recently adopted so-called "active learning" techniques. All the students secretly hated them, but wouldn't share this feedback with higher-ups (academic administrators) because med students, as a group, are generally rule-following, adaptable students.

The "non-lecture" format was frequently derided by students, in private settings, as "Dr. Wikipedia". That is, they were learning medicine by using Google and visiting Wikipedia pages. Because they had to collaborate on their own learning materials, even though they had no background in medicine.

About 50% of students I knew (secretly) spent thousands of dollars on recorded medical lectures to supplement the completely ineffective class "group activities", and thus did well on the tests (and USMLEs) anyway. They never reported this to professors or administrators. Again, they were "working around" the broken "active learning" system. One of the hilarious side effects of this: the supposedly "objective peer-reviewed studies" of this learning style won't show score/testing degradation -- because the students are so self-sufficient that they work around the failing format with supplemental lecture materials purchased online! Thus, they still achieve the grades they hope, and the administrators think the system is "working"!

There was, however, a very small subset of students who preferred the "active learning" format. Most of the time, these were students who came into med school with a stronger science background than others (e.g. had basically started studying medicine before they got there). One reason they particularly enjoyed the format: they could skip class with little effect on their grades.
Python Backdoor Framework
As to your first example, there seems to be this pervasive idea in tech culture that something shouldn't be a serious crime or tort because it is so easy to do. I see the argument very often in cases of unauthorized access and copyright infringement.

Murder is also rather easy, and we execute people for it.
Aaron Swartz Details the Month He Spent Offline in 2009
Which happens because of power prosecutors have (ability to decide charge which makes all the difference - plea can make difference between a year and risk of 30 years in prison) which has little to do with jury vs judge. Majority of defendants deciding that they don't want to risk (or cant afford) a day in court is not an argument for that system.
Please could you explain the last paragraph a little more?
Yes, that's what they're saying. Consider the source.
The Martian was fantastic and the author is a programmer. I recently got hooked on the Bobiverse books and their author is a programmer too. In fact, I wholly recommend anyone reading this to check both of those out :) Super fun books
Agreed. I will be really upset if this is all just a colossal f-up on the part of the feds.
I also have a first gen ipad, but I wouldn't say it works fine. Everything that involves a network connection is broken in some way. Browsing popular websites is impossible, the app store is so broken as to be unnavigable, and almost no apps still support it anyway. At this point it's used for (an old version of) netflix and a few old games because it can't do anything else.

Because of the way apple has locked it down, the software on it can't be replaced with something less broken, even though hardware-wise it is basically a raspberry pi with a touchscreen.

>“Rarely has a white-collar criminal defendant evoked hatred and scorn from public in the way Shkreli has. Shkreli’s willingness to lie, step on people, flaunt his wealth and look down on others made him a villain that many wanted to see go down in flames,” said James Goodnow, an attorney with Fennemore Craig, a corporate defense firm.

This attitude is just disgusting, and indicative of precisely what has gone wrong with our society. "White collar" criminals who steal millions are deserving of leniency and mercy. But the "thug" who stole $20 from a 7/11 deserves 20 years.
We are collaborating with Unity to assist on upgrading not only their runtime but also to adopt the latest and greatest GC.

Additionally in C# 7, 7.1 and the upcoming 7.x series there are many improvements that reduce object allocation (like ref structs, value type tasks and others)

> People shouldn't be able to be convicted because they're assholes (even if they are).

He wasn't convicted because he was an asshole. He was convicted because he broke the law. I think the fact that he was acquitted on 2 of the 5 counts is evidence that the jury made a determination based on facts, rather than their feeling towards him.

That being said, in a trial in the US, the judge applies the law, and the jury determines the facts, especially as they pertain to the credibility of testimony. If the defendant is an outrageous asshole, it's possibly more likely that the jury would interpret inconclusive evidence less favorably. I don't think that's necessarily the worst thing in the world, and it's also not clear that a panel of judges wouldn't be subject to similar biases.
Yeah, I think you'll find when you dig into the details that that case is not a great example for you.
OJ's parole was fair, and done by the book. OJ's sentencing for the armed robbery (30 years - his friends who brought the guns, and had a number of prior felonies all got probation) unfairly reflected his murder trial. The judge and jury were almost certainly out to get him.

>> The fact that he was arrested with little to no evidence...

Do you really think they are loosely tying Marcus to Kronos with little to no evidence? Why go through all the trouble? Just because they haven't shared evidence in a sealed case doesn't mean they have no evidence. It's safe to assume there is evidence and it'll be interesting to see what it is.
Sure maybe you can explain what you mean by the phrase: "pricing something correctly"
Ask HN: Need a good resource for guava concurrency programming (Futures)
I'm fairly new to concurrent programming, and have been fiddling around with Futures using guava, but I feel like I'm missing a good fundamental understanding of how concurrency really works with guava and in the context of java.

Some example questions that I might have would be:

When should I use a ListenableFuture vs a SettableFuture vs an AbstractFuture?

Best patterns for chaining multiple futures in a sequence? Is it Futures.transform or is there a cleaner way?

Can anyone recommend a book or good resource that goes in depth in regards to concurrency programming with guava?
I'm not convicting him, and if you put a gun to my head and forced me to render a verdict based on what's public now, I'd say "not guilty". What do you want from me? Cases like this unfold over time. We don't get to know everything we want to know the moment we want to know it.
Counterpoint: the movie 'Locke' literally consists of Tom Hardy sitting in a car doing phone calls, and... it works. Beautifully so.

The difficulty of carrying out an action is completely irrelevant to its legality.
You wouldn't have done what is being done here with ANSI.SYS. This isn't picking one of 16 colours. This is altering what those 16 colours display as: the 24-bit colours that the 16-colour palette maps to.

That's a vast exaggeration of things. "Exploiting" my ass. You know the reason why airlines are so shitty? Because people only buy the cheapest tickets to their destination. I'm guilty of this myself. The end result is a race to the bottom .

And yes, when the man refused to get off the United plane, he should not have been beaten. Big deal, hundreds of millions of people fly every year. The fact that that happened sucks, but the reality is that 99.99% of people will at worst just deal with incompetent customer service during a cancelled or heavily delayed flight. That doesn't give you justification to steal from the airliner.

This is a discussion I feel you would have with a teenager.
> The fact that he was arrested with little to no evidence

How do you know what evidence does or doesn't exist? The case hasn't even been brought to trial yet.
I'm also wondering the same thing. In most JS applications most people end up using lots of libraries which are stored in their node_modules directory. But what about for custom code? Do people create a similar libraries folder for their own modules? Or do their break code up in a different way?
If they wanted to make them unserviceable, they would use one way screws. I assume the pentalobular screws improve mass production through more efficient torque or something like that. I have one in my toolbox, they are cheap.

> But if they have evidence to support arresting him, the US has an extradition treaty with Britain; they should have shared it and asked British authorities to make the arrest.

Is this just for alleged computer crimes, or would you apply that to all alleged crimes?

For example, suppose I run a fraudulent mail order business targeting people in, say, France, and this is a crime in France. Would you argue that if I visit France, and the French authorities want to arrest me and bring me to trial, they should let me go home and use extradition to try to force me back, rather than arrest me while I am in France?
The timing of this video is a lesson in humility. It's posted one month before a positive earnings report showing high growth in active buyers that gives the stock an ongoing 1.3x price increase. As far as I have viewed, Shkreli seems ambivalent, using vague heuristics to predict the future -- expectation of a yahoo-like slow decline, poor UX and discovery, and stiff Amazon competition.
