Sounds like an awfully circumstantial case if they take it to court right now. I have no sympathy for people who are guilty of this crime, and if he is guilty then he should be punished. However, without proof that this evidence exists, how long can(realistically) someone be held in contempt? The evidence is the defendant's sister claiming he does know the passwords, and that there is child abuse images on the drives. Someone claiming something (IANAL) is circumstantial evidence, isn't it?

I'm really just curious how this works.. if the state doesn't want to go to trial without a piece of evidence they believes to exist, how long can they hold you and deny your "right to a speedy trial"? Is this normal for judges to hold people in contempt to buy time to gather evidence?

BT2020/2100 covers 'Wide Gamut' and 'Higher luminance' (PQ / SMPTE ST:2084) - both of these in tandem are at the core of all existing HDR standards (aside from HLG which I'll save for another discussion).

Bit depth will give you a value per color channel between zero (black) and the upper bound for that bit depth (2^n - white). How the image data is encoded in those values is very much standardized for all display colourspaces (though whether the hardware is capable of displaying the full range of those values correctly is a different story).

HDR is certainly not a fad - the current crop of displays are nowhere close to being able to display the full potential of the technology yet (100% of Rec.2020 gamut @ 10,000 nits)

AndrewUnmuted - are you perhaps confusing 'true' HDR with upscaled / gamut mapped rec. 709 material? e.g. taking an existing rec. 709 master and mapping the color to a larger colourspace?

Netflix, Amazon and several other OTT providers have their original content mastered in true HDR from the get go - no post processing 'tricks'. The main limiting factor is the acquisition source, which is why Netflix have gone down the route of specifying acceptable cameras for use on their original content productions.

Ask HN: The core values of the Python “platform”
Bryan Cantrill gave an interesting talk recently at a Node conference about "platform values" [1]. The talk lead me to think about what the core values of the Python "platform" are and I thought it would be good to ask this question of the community. What would you consider the top (<= 5) core values?

It's not an assassination attempt, it's a military fascist coup attempt which killed hundreds and wounded thousands of people and it's not about the elected president. If you're looking for fascist dictators, look at all around Europe the rising of many racist/fascists leaders and parties rising everywhere and grabbing broad public support. Be afraid for yourself my friend.

Edit: The coup attempt is real and I have seen it myself and how people were murdered by the Fethullah members.

Flow bakes React libdefs right into the binary https://github.com/facebook/flow/blob/master/lib/react.js - so yes, Flow damn well have good React support, because the React libdef is given the same level of importance as Node and DOM APIs.

Of course it also means you can't upgrade React without upgrading Flow, and you can't target a specific (older) version of React without downgrading Flow.

Sqitch[0] is probably one of the best migration tools I've used. It expresses dependencies explicitly and doesn't rely on ordering. It will run change verification scripts for you and roll everything back if it doesn't check out. Plus you can tag your history and bundle everything up into a release for you. It feels a lot like using Git for managing database state.

“There are only two industries.

The industry of things comes first. It keeps us alive. But making things is easy now that we have the Feed.

I could have worded it better but I'm sure you understand what I was trying to say.
I've never really had an issue with it. The data is much better than a few years ago. I don't use Google maps (I'm happy with Apple and its integration).

I've heard (anecdotally on podcasts) they're roughly even.

The one thing I've heard in the past is it really depends on where you live. Google had better data in rural areas or other countries (they've been at it for what, almost 15 years?) so Apple Maps may not be an option for some.

In the US? I'm not sure there is a big difference for streets.

(Pretty sure Apple has slightly fewer points of interest like businesses, but it's rare I run into that).
Note that the question was phrased as "Out of curiosity...". This is essentially a disclaimer that it is an off-topic and irrelevant question. From the way I see it, your comment is even less reasonable in this context.
Yes, this gives me hope in our long term perspective.
Any reason to arrest 75,000 is a fishing expedition and very easily swept up thousands of innocent people. Nor should these people be punished for being affiliated with a political organization, even if some of the top members were involved with a coup.

Ignoring that, this article also says otherwise regarding "two members" had to authorize you in order to use it:

> ByLock was available to everyone, it had been downloaded around the world and was in the top 500 apps in 41 separate countries.

> “It was downloaded over 600,000 times between April 2014 and April 2016 by users all over the world,”

It sounds like the reaction of a paranoid despot. It reminds me of the way Saddam Hussein's government would crack down on political dissent. And of course state propaganda would be used to justify it by saying only criminals were being punished.

3.) Put our best people on the high list.

4.) High list performs better, so cement #2 as our "scientific" policy that is "backed by data".

It hurts the REPL experience a lot. You can still open the Console and execute JS in the context of your application, but you'll end up working in the transpiled JS, which might look very little or nothing like the source code you've been working on. It's annoying to the point that I don't bother doing it often any more. I think ClojureScript might be an exception to this, though, so if you're a lisper that's probably something you'd want to look at.

We need a Zoho-like replacement for Google Apps that is open source, and has a host-agnostic ecosystem around it. Someone should be able to launch the apps in their own docker containers, with a button click on AWS, and evolve features like protonail et al.
Not all of Google's apps need replacing, but it should include custom DNS, calendars, collaborative editing of documents, email, browser-syncing, storage, and possibly even a mobile data management and decentralized chat! Who wants to start building a team to work on it? :)

As Larry Wall said, "Easy things should be easy."

When working on a project and you need to copy something for the first time, you shouldn't have to do:

* Ok I need to copy... What npm package does that again?
* search NPM for copy
* figure out which package is "best"
* npm i some-copy-package
* require("some-copy-packge")
* do thing

The first 4 steps should be unnecessary.
Yup, both max and maya have such a 'traditional' (for lack of a better term) kind of UI - it's (for the most part) intuitive, whereas blender's just appears to be spread out all around the sides of the screen and it just feels like a mess.

Initially, I didn't care for the few books of hers that we received as baby shower gifts.

> if a large body of evidence published in reputable journals supports an initially implausible conclusion, then scientific norms require us to believe that conclusion. Implausibility is not sufficient to justify disbelief, and belief in well-supported scientific conclusions is not optional. This position still seems reasonable to me – it is why I think people should believe in climate change.

Plausibility depends on the level of expertise one has in a given domain.

Ordinary people don't have any expertise or direct experience of, say, fundamental physics, or astronomy, and so for them (us) no result is either "plausible" or "implausible". We can believe them, or not, but we can't really have an opinion on them. (That goes for climate change: you choose to either trust the experts or not, but you can't tell them that they're wrong if you yourself are not an expert).

But social sciences are very different, because all humans have a pretty good understanding of human nature. Studying it is all that we do, all of the time.

And so, in the domain of studying human nature, "plausibility" really means something, and the opinion of the layman isn't to be ignored, because chances are said layman is as competent as anyone.

In that specific domain, results that fly in the face of the common experience should be received with great skepticism and examined and verified thoroughly.
I couldn't agree more. A guy that's been sitting on a grandfathered 3.5Ghz license approached us to lease it from him or partner with him to use it. He hasn't used it himself in over 7+ years.
It depends on what you want to do.

* If you want to be able to generate native Windows binaries with Swift than yes, it will take some time to build the tools (because Swift is not officially supported on Windows).

* If you just want to be able to learn and try Swift there is a simpler approach if you have Windows 10:

1. Install Windows System on Linux (WSL).

2. Go to swift.org and follow the instructions to install the latest binaries for Swift 4. Use the Ubuntu 16.04 instructions (this will work in a WSL window). You don't need to build Swift from sources in this case.

3. Use Swift under WSL.

On the contrary, while all claim to believe in the God of Abraham, the characteristics of each God are different enough to describe different gods.

For example, Jews and Muslims do not believe Jesus is God and existed before the world was created. Both consider the Christian Trinity to be heretical.

As a professional web developer who uses TypeScript (disclaimer: MS employee, not on the TypeScript team), I don't find that it impacts in-browser debugging. TypeScript has the ability to generate map files, but we don't use it because issues with our tooling. I don't miss it though, because the generated JavaScript is pretty close to the TypeScript (we target ES5, if you can target ES6 the mangling is even less). Once you learn the common patterns (methods get mapped onto the prototype, fat arrow functions get compiled to regular functions with a _this variable) it's pretty straightforward to debug in the browser.

The dev inner loop is maybe a little slower with the compile step for us, but it is possible to use TypeScript's automatic compilation with webpack and Node and all the latest hotness and get automatic build/deploy/refresh (see Office Fabric: https://github.com/OfficeDev/office-ui-fabric-react)

I was not aware of this "Dear Muslima" thing, but let's analyze it.

Someone makes a video complaining about being propositioned (I didn't watch the video but read the context). Dawkins, a homosexual who as been around for quite some time, when things were not very pleasant for them, thinks this is really not anything to complain about so he makes this remark comparing the suffering of people under a particular religion. He then apologizes for the comment.

Was the comment unnecessary? Yes.
Was the comment tacky? Yes.
Is it indicative of sexism? I'll say not, given Dawkins' context, his previous statements and also importantly, the fact that he apologized.
Libinput is sadly one of the new breed of code, from the wayland crew, that is supposed to make things simpler (for who though, i can't help they mean simpler for them rather than for users/admins).
