What evasiveness and unwillingness are you referring to? He changed his statement once, and that was within 24 hours of his arrested. Ever since he has remained silent, most likely by order of the court.

I actually believe that he told them "everything" at the first hearing (like the admission that she died on board the vessel and was "buried at sea") and as we've seen up until now, the court only releases a part of it once that part no longer has influence on the ongoing investigation. For instance, I think he also admitted to dismembering the body but that part hasn't been disclosed as the police would risk people sailing up and down the coast looking for body parts, and thus risk ruining evidence. The reason why I put 'everything' in quotation earlier, is that I don't personally believe the accident-story until I see evidence that proves it.

However, it puzzles me that the prosecutor is still going for the indictment with involuntary manslaughter. I think they know something that the public doesn't - perhaps something that in fact supports the accident-story.
You have no idea what I know or believe, and you clearly are even having trouble reading the arguments presented to you rather than some ridiculous straw man you've built in your head. I don't have time for people who argue in bad faith and who make absurd assumptions about anyone who disagrees with them.
>But what a poor engineer he also turned out to be ... and then utterly failing to submerge a body at sea. Not understanding that police would find her DNA in the submarine.

I'm an engineer and knowing that kind of forensic tools are available now to police, there is no way I'd ever think to commit such a crime (and also because WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!). Unless the police are very incompetent or you are able to conceal it very well, you will be caught. [0]

I can tell you I never had a class during my B.Eng about how to kill someone and destroy DNA evidence. I'm not sure what being an engineer has to do with sinking a dead body and removing DNA evidence, since these are not at all related to Engineering...

I totally agree.

Perhaps visuals would work for a community of graphics designers. But outside of that, it's just not useful. Especially if half of the thumbnail is filled by ads or logos.
IntelliJ is just as heavy. Android studio is even heavier.

If Sublime had features on par with Code I would happily use it.

Though honestly I don't know much about Sublime. Can anyone comment on how it compares to Code?
brackets is still the best
Nice tutorial, just not found of the authorization part, which "encourage" you to rely on http headers.
Imho http headers are fine for a REST API, since the protocol depend on HTTP, but not for a GraphQL API since you can perfectly serve GraphQL behind something else, like Websocket, nats, or even direct TCP
>For example, when I go to cinema, I pay to the ticket seller. I don't pay to the people who actually produced the movie. I rely on some (unknown to me) mechanism according to which those people get paid, but I don't pay them.

The mechanism is the same; it's transitive. You pay the ticket seller, the ticket seller pays the distribution company, the distribution company pays the production company, something along those lines. If we assume nobody's going around stealing or printing money, then that's the only way the people producing the move could be getting money.

If you don't like all those middle-men, that's why things like Kickstarter are appealing to many people. I wanted the people who made Planescape Torment, one of my favourite games, to make a sequel. I paid them in advance directly, via Kickstarter, as did many others. They made an excellent (at least in my view) game.

>And it gets even worse! Some people cannot be paid for what valuable they are doing for me, because they are already dead. For example, I am not paying to Beethoven. There are even things that produce things of value without any human intervention; who do I pay then?

Payment motivates somebody to give up something and give it to you. If something can be taken without depriving anybody of it, why is payment needed? Some people oppose intellectual property laws for this reason, because unlike physical property, using intellectual property doesn't deprive the creator of it due to text being practically free to reproduce.
I was intrigued by this article. So I tested it myself using VSCode 1.15.1 (x64), and a 6.16 MB (6 462 222 bytes) XML file. File opened in < 4 seconds. Uses about 180MB of memory. All 16013 lines show. Scrolling isn't an issue. Code folding isn't an issue. Memory usage dropped to 160MB, and then jumped to 330MB. Still high, but for me it works well and not a scenario I'd typically encounter.

I like and use Atom, I started using it because I wanted a change from Sublime (not that there's anything wrong with Sublime). I have noticed though that it uses much more resources than Sublime so it drains my lap top battery faster and sometimes it feels slow.
Analysis will generally look at what cohorts had at the equivalent stages of their lives.
I don't have a great answer for other motives and it seems like a diffucult prediction to draw strong conclusions on. However, it's certainly not binary, so I'd argue that the possibly of making us 'feel better' is reason enough to assume.
That's nice. I thought about using thumbnails to linked sites before, but I wonder about the legal dimension.

What if someone puts something illegal, or copyrighted on one of the linked pages? Does anybody have advice (internationally / US / Germany)?

I'm based in Germany, and here there is strong legal protection for "quoting" excerpts. However, it is often debatable what counts as a quote. German news sites often take a photograph of a screen, instead of a screenshot. There seems to be protection for search engines (e.g. Google Photo Search), but the situation is not clear. There is also no "fair use" or safe harbor like in the US.

I'm especially afraid of cease and desist letters (Abmahnungen) - there is an entire industry of people who crawl the web and find copyrighted images with image recognition. The mean thing is that they don't let you use their tool to check for compliance - I would gladly buy a license for images I accidentially use, or remove them - but it is more profitable for them to send you a letter.

(Rant: I once had a case where someone accidentially printed a copyrighted image on a document and put a scaled down picture of that document on a domain managed by me. The copyrighted image was about 50x50 pixels, mirrored, and black and white, but they had me pay ~800 Euros for it. Funny thing is that they never ever contacted us via the contact email. They didn't care about their client's rights or about selling an image, they wanted to milk us. They sent physical letters to people they thought related to the site, until they grabbed me (the Admin-C of the domain).

Now I heard they are going after people rewteeting or liking copyrighted images - IMHO that is ridiculous, there should be a difference between "including" and "linking to" an image.)

If you put it like that you only have emacs left. Instead of an editor in a tmux pane you a shell in the editor. But Emacs is hardly lightweight. Compared to Atom though even something as heavy Spacemacs in emacs is much better.
It's true, some companies (particularly big ones) will label you as a leaver if you behave like I did (so they know that they can't really exploit you) but those are not the kind of companies I would want to work for anyway.
Your Personal Bodycam – Schneier on Security
It's not abuse if you are following the TOS though. So if you want to classify it as abuse you need some objective measurement for what is acceptable use or not. 1 restore a month? 10? 100? You have to have a documents AUP before you can call some usage pattern abuse.
The Socratic Method is one of persuasion, not discussion. The effort is to guide the person to your idea, on their own, so to speak. This is a poor method of actual discussion. In essence, you become the opinionated one.

There are different levels of ad hominem. Recognizing that a claimant lacks experience or education to make a highly technical/scientific claim is a useful first filter in considering whether to devote the time to evaluate an argument.

For example, if Richard Feynman had published a paper claiming to have invented a prototype anti-gravity machine, his claim would have been taken much more seriously than if an uneducated TV repairman from eastern Omaha had claimed the same thing. Perhaps that's an ad hominem against the repairman, but in the real world, it's also a useful heuristic. Our time and attention are constrained quantities - doubly so in the age of the Internet where anyone can claim anything.
I can literally hear when my coworkers have IntelliJ open. People are here griping about Atom's memory use, but using 1GB of memory is an order of magnitude better than obliterating my battery by pegging my CPUs. No thanks.
How are you getting the thumbnail images?

> It's like complaining that opening a 6MB file in windows took over 3GB on my system

No, it's like complaining that opening a 6MB file in Windows took the resource usage from 3 GB to 3.6GB (in absolute terms), or from 3GB to ~10GB (in relative terms).

> Not to mention that a 6MB file is pretty fucking big for something like atom. Yes, I know, 6MB isn't "big", but for an editor which is designed to only work on source files which are AT MOST a MB, it's big.

Where is this design decision documented? What was the reasoning behind it?

I looked at the docs, and couldn't anything supporting this statement, which sounds ludicrous to me. It's 2017, an editor shouldn't choke on 6MB no matter what you feed it.
Thanks for the tip. The command line flag for Chrome is --disable-remote-fonts and it works as of version 60. But this breaks also other, more useful uses of web fonts, such as font icons.
I guess my gripe is mostly with web designers who prioritize design over readability.
The productivity gains ($) are shared by the firm and the software/hardware which is responsible for the increased productivity, not the employee.

This is an assertion, not an argument. It's not how the literature sees it. Plus, you can even have it from Rob Pike himself if you don't believe me: https://twitter.com/rob_pike/status/546973312543227904

> is not sub typing. but it's interesting how you move the goal post on each comment.

I didn't say that this piece of code constituted subtyping. Here, I was refuting your specific claim that the equivalent of `f` cannot be written in Go.

> You go from inheritance to sub typing to "structural subtyping".

This is not how the thread went. I added a reference to structural subtyping as a purely explanatory footnote to illustrate a well-known similarity between OCaml and Go; subtyping had not been mentioned at all so far. Starting at that footnote, you introduced a digression by claiming that Go does not have subtyping at all.
First saying he dropped her off which was a flat out lie, then saying she was buried at sea. On a technicality you could argue the second was true but I think that is stretching things more than just a bit. Getting rid of the evidence would be a better description.

Now we are in full fledged crazy butcher and/or killer territory. I think that pretty much covers evasiveness and unwillingness.
The Secrets of Successful Startups
There is no such thing as "too much resilience". What a ridiculous article. Stopped reading it when they mentioned that people staying in their jobs despite hating it are "resilient". That's not the word I would use for it.

5 REASONS WHY Your E-COMMERCE WEBSITE NEEDS a MOBILE APP

There are two types of performance problems.

The first type is where performance drops 40% from one commit/merge/feature/bug fix.

The second type is where performance drops 0.1% a time over 400 commits/merges/features/bug fix.

For the first type, the person who caused the performance drop can just be told to fix it; the solution will almost certainly be a change to code they own. The incentives basically line up. No complex management required!

But for the second type? Nobody would reject a fix for a buffer overflow because bounds checking slowed the code down a little. Fixing such problems might need hundreds of optimisations in different places - or offsetting slowdowns in some areas with speedups in others. Coordinating this sort of thing is what management is supposed to be there for.

An exotic experience with the Top Asian escorts in London
Double taxation is extremely unlikely, and would likely have to be of the form of applying a tax to earnings in the Roth IRA or something like that. Which is how other investment-related income is taxed anyways so, I don’t know.

Additionally, SS pays out at 75% of projected levels at the height of the retiree crunch, so assuming the program will just vanish is not something a lot of financial advisors are going to consider. Given the universe of possibilities, the one that doesn’t result in people with pitchforks is probably the one that we will go with. We could also solve this problem today with a 1.8% addition to the payroll taxes, removing means testing, etc. It’s a problem to be solved but expecting the world to burn in the process of solving it, the magnitude just isn’t there. Makes for good fan fiction though :-).
Reading this article I struck me that you could use the same analysis to design FinFET junctions to have the localisations coincide with the dielectric boundary to reduce gate leak, and hence power consumption and heat.
With Parallels that's at least a bit less painful, but yeah, we shouldn't need to virtualize at all.
Pointing Your Arrow: The Artist's Way to Happiness

> I have never been in an accident.

Gambler's Fallacy. Prior incidence has no effect on future occurrence.

A lot of the new safety features are for low-speed collision protection, automatically sounding horn and applying breaks when your car gets close to another, say in traffic. Unless you go top-range you generally won't get actual driving automation. Other than that it's just convenience; Climate control instead of air con, reversing sensors and camera instead of (as well as) mirrors and turning your head around etc.
The Public Services Card – An ID Database and ID Card
Sin and Cos: The Programmer's Pals
A lot of people have similar complaints about Idea. So your complaint is only different because Atom happens to eat a bit more memory. Do you know that Emacs means "Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping"? See, it's wasn't different 30 years ago. One can easily build a workstation with 128 GB memory if he's making money with it, it's not very expensive, so 1 GB of RAM would be less than 1%. I don't see much issues, honestly.

Of course it's nice when programs are fast and not hungry. Reality is that developers happily trade performance for power of abstractions.
Hey all, founder of Ionic (team behind Stencil) here. Didn't expect to see this up on HN so soon (released this morning), thanks for understanding there's still rough edges with docs, etc

We built Stencil for a selfish reason: we needed more mobile web performance for Ionic apps being deployed as PWAs (in addition to App Store apps) and we were struggling getting that with traditional framework component/bundle approaches.

We realized web components were a way forward and would let us reach more of the web dev community that wasn't just using Angular. However, we felt like there were some big framework features missing from vanilla custom elements (vdom, react fiber style rendering queue, etc), so we built stencil to make it easy to generate web components with these features baked in.

Along the way we figured other teams would benefit and pulled it out into its own project.

Stencil will be used in the next version of Ionic so we are dog fooding this hard, and web components it generated will be in use by thousands of Ionic devs soon.

We just announced this at the Polymer Summit in Copenhagen this morning and the talk is up if you're interested: https://youtu.be/UfD-k7aHkQE

Happy to answer any questions!
Why not? Its just that for the subjective metrics people will have different opinions and therefore draw different conclusions about which one is "better"

Which is the OPs exact point. While some people value their editor being very light on ram, other people value other things, and that's okay.
There should be a lot more focus on creating good multiplatform C++ GUI frameworks. Javascript is not the future.
As much as I appreciate that's the VC model, perhaps less would fail if VCs didn't push for billions in revenue? The failure rate might be less than 9/10 if it wasn't "all or nothing"? Guessing it still wouldn't make enough home runs as an investment vehicle though?
How is this licensed? Perhaps I'm missing it, but I can't seem to find mention of it on the site or in the repo: https://github.com/ionic-team/stencil
>You're missing my point. It may not be stupid to reinvent the wheel at all. But that's not a project that you should mix with inventing a self driving car

That's only true if the team that reinvents the wheels and the team that does the self-driving tech is the same, and you're stealing members from the latter to the former.

Obviously those are not the same teams, nor they need to be.

And when you get out with your self-driving car, as 3-4 companies will do at more or less the same time or within a few years of each other, having other great new innovations on top of that will give you an edge.
The price are not in the same league as SF, let's not exaggerate. But yeah, the salaries are low compared to the US. I had several proposal to make 5 times what I currently make.

However, money is not everything. Living is France is very sweet, and the US lifetyle is peculiar. Also, I'm currently an independent dev, and the salary implied I signed a 5 years contract. That's a lot of constraints for me.

But yeah, compared to the US, dev are not well valued here. And you should see in Spain...
Ideally, shouldn't all "merges" come from PRs? That, there's a gatekeeper (or sorts) that helps to prevent sloppy, unnecessary and erroneous things from ever making it into the code base.

Just because (autonomous) you can merge and push, doesn't mean you should. Right?
BTW, heel striking is okay. Running form develops naturally. You folks taking this advice seriously want to focus on cadence and getting it to around 180 spm. Cadence has been shown to decrease injury risk. Altering your running form has lots of adherents due to anecdotes but no evidence supporting it.
Ask HN: Does working with computers have a negative influence on life for you?
Beeing in front of computer screens 8+ hours a day coding away and solving problems is degrading my general life. I like my job. But every time I go from a relatively "free" life to developper, I notice the changes in my life :

* social skills degrade. Simple social situations such as greetings, meeting new people, goes from beeing extremely natural to sort of akward

* memory suffers, I am more likely to forget little things. It sort of "blurs" all together

* becoming more clumsy in general

* feeling much less in the present. I'm less focused on what happens around me and spend more time "daydreaming" even off work, thinking about random things. The days come and go without leaving much impression

* more detached from life. For example after finishing work, if I take a walk in a park for example. I would feel like I'm watching the scene though a screen or a film. Watching a beautiful scenery won't "touch" me like before. Sleeping with someone won't leave me the same effect as before

Whenever I use computers less, everything gets back to normal. I become more confident and confortable in social life, and feel in the present moment.

I suspect it's not even related to my job. I sort of had the same side effects when I used to play a lot of video games every day. The days I got off computers I discovered a "new me" more confident and in the present. But computers beeing my skills, I have to work with them.

I get enough sleep and I do various activities when off work, but it still happens

Anyone experienced this ?
I think they were trying to replicate the tabletop experience. Now imaging replicating the classic Traveller RPG, where you had a decent chance of your character dying during generation. I think that any computer RPG with D&D like stats needs to have point buy by default and only use a random generation as an option for tabletop like simulation.
Ah good catch. It's MIT (will get that up soon)
My experience with docs was closer to the parent's. Sheets was fun for having a quick platform to hack out a few things for internal use, but it struggled to remain snappy for our org of about 120 persons. For example we had to start strictly tracking all POs and requests for spending and at first the sheet operation we had was okay, but it suffered once the entire department got to using it.

The admin panel was also horribly slow and just was a pain to work with, especially once we became the target of a long running phishing attack and would have dozens of accounts locked out every day. It was easily a 30 minute process to restore access to cleaned accounts since the panel at the time (2012-2016) didn't have a way of mass management of users.
