Really interesting post. I have often worked in such a mess of a code even though in orders of magnitude smaller code bases with only a few developers. I would never imagine a project like oracle is like this. Since there seem to be a number of oracle employees around, I would be very interested to know if there have been any propositions to start cleaning up this shit. The man hours wasted from this workflow is so huge that I expect that even a small percent of oracle's developers could be assigned to rewrite it and they would catch up the rest of the product in a reasonable time frame so that in a few years it could be rewritten and stop wasting developers' time.
So far it has yet to end, which is quite surprising. Sad to see how far my country will stoop to attempt to abscond with a foriegner, he will not have a fair trial if extradited.
>Someone that does not want to be tracked by facial or gait recognition, either because he's a criminal or a political activist, will always be able to do that.

Tons of political activists (and of course tons of criminals too) have been caught by way simpler and easier to trick methods.
it is weird to me that you imply facebook and google have morals in your comparison to the amoral wall street. what is stranger to me is that i agree, but only because i believe facebook and google to have distorted or warped moralities. i think they truly believe they are making the world a better place, but i hold the opinion they both have contributed a net negative on society at large.

to me, amorality is preferable over warped morality. it is clear what wall street wants: money. it isn’t clear to me what facebook and google actually want. i fear they strive for control.
Facebook basically fueled a genocide in Myanmar and extreme violence in other places.

If we widen the definition slightly to include other social media firms then the most recent phase of chaos in the Middle East (post "Arab Spring") and the rise of ISIS can directly be blamed on FB and Twitter.

Just having this is a huge improvement over what most lists have (e.g. https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/).

There are also patch formatting features that let you comfortably review patches: https://lists.sr.ht/%7Eemersion/mrsh-dev/%3C20180929203159.3...

The planned code review features (commenting a line, approving, applying a patch, reporting CI status) are also novel for mailing lists.
> There isn't even a clear P(O|F) likelihood without making assumptions about the process' noise.

Correct. I believe standard procedure would be to assume that time for algo A/B are normally distributed, put non-informative priors on the parameters, then integrate over the space where F is true. I think the non informative prior for a normal distribution is P(mu, sigma^2) \propto 1 / (sigma^2) - it's harder than this, because you know that the runtime of a program is > 0, and maybe you think that sigma is likely to be quite a bit less than mu. If you choose your prior wisely, I suspect you will actually get something close to 1 / 20, the added uncertainty will come from when |mu_A - mu_B| is roughly less than max(sigma_A, sigma_B), but even there, most of it will cancel out.

A normality assumption may be reasonable - if you're assuming that the run-time of the code is dominated by the addition of a bunch of independent operations that are roughly the same timescale, that's what you will get - it will fall down if there is a small number of steps which dominate (e.g. http requests or garbage collection or something). If you don't want to some kind prior with parameters like that, you need to go into non-parametric Bayesian stats, and you'll end up with a lot more uncertainty.

I have seen no such aggressive, hateful and awful language from a progressive person. I think most people who identify as progressive would never use such violent words, as progressives are more likely to be compassionate and kind to others. I have only seen people like you use awful words like that - who are these progressives saying that? I think there are none.

I think it's just you, making up lies about people on the left being violent and awful. Nobody is "cheering this on like a crowd of mobs about to burn a witch". That is awful. Why would you say such a thing?

You are trolling and trying to create a hyper-political atmosphere on HN, where the only allowable opinions are hyper-conservative, and violent, hateful words are falsely attributed to progressives.
Apple don’t really seem to care much about ‘Pro’ users. Look at the state of the latest MBP (especially in real-world use, with dongles and USB hubs trailing out of it), and the silly pricing and infrequent updates of other Pro-branded Macs.

Pro users are a very small and demanding market compared to the massive and hugely profitable market for shiny ‘content consumption + communication devices’
True that law firms offer very little in the way of snacks (although that is starting to change), but they offer other perks that can be far more expensive, a common one being free car service home if you work past 9. Most work till 7 or 8 anyway, and it provides a little incentive to stay another hour. I haven’t seen this in other industries.

Something to this effect is accurate. Assange aired war crimes commited by my country to the world that were purposefully and fraudulently classified. Rather than own up to the crimes commited, the politicans at the time chose to shoot the messenger and created an international incident.

Compiling C++ to asm.js with Emscripten is another weird architecture you might actually use these days.

Unaligned accesses don't trap with a SIGBUS or anything, they just round the pointer value down to an aligned address and read whatever that is.

Reading from and writing to NULL will generally succeed (just as on SGI).

Function pointers are just indices into tables of functions, one table per "function type" (number of arguments, whether the arguments are int or float, whether it returns an argument or not). Thus, two different function pointers may have the same bit pattern.

I felt the harder things to convince someone(including self) is to spend lot of time to learn the "other skills" (mentioned in the article). People do try to improve their "other skills" to some extent but that may not be enough. Feedback loop for seeing the impact of the "other skill" is long and it is harder to measure. So one doesn't know if one has learnt enough.

Regarding boring. I have found that sometime if we zoom out too much things are boring. Life is boring if we think everyday we just wakeup, work, sleep. When we zoom in and look at the variety and try to understand life becomes more interesting.

Zooming in too much also can cause boredom. Zoom into the coding too much and think I am just typing another ifThenElse or while loop or some keystrokes it can be boring too.

Usually I have found, for management work zooming out makes it interesting for me. Technical work usually is interesting at the level I see it.

Like some people mentioned listening to music, doing something else when the work look boredom can also keep one going with passion.

The other challenge is once the work becomes routine, one starts feeling anyone can do it. One starts feeling am I justifying the money I get for it?
Atlantis may very well be a true story. Problem is we have no idea what the original myth was; such stories have a tendency to develop over time, getting more and more fantastical for every iteration.

How would a Paleolithic hunter/gatherer describe a neighboring tribe who developed certain tools and techniques far ahead of anyone else? A small town of wooden buildings and 400-500 people would seem a great marvel from that perspective.

Imagine there was such a tribe 12000 years ago. Now imagine a tsunami hitting that village and that hunter/gatherer describing the event to future generations. Imagine how that oral tradition would develop over the years until someone writes it down 4000 years later.
1) Are you married?
2) Do you have kids?
3) If you do have kids, are they in K-12 or are they older?

If strangers ask personal details online we think twice or become concerned. If someone then proceeds to ask where are your kids now, it would become creepy as hell.

But if a corporate can do that by looking at photos and possibly sell that data to ad agencies, it is even more scary. The 3rd party can share it with anyone or the data can be hacked. All the corporate would do is update their policy. Maybe much more info is already being collected which has not yet come out and we have no clue. We are just pushing the "how bad can it get" line. Humans have messed up real bad.
The insight comes at the end:

If the snack and beverage options are better and more varied than they were on your last visit, you know that your client’s management is feeling bullish. If they’re the same, you know that the status quo is still in place.

And if they have gotten noticeably worse? Consider yourself notified that you may very well in the near future have to push hard to keep your services or products from being axed too.

Ask HN: Best way to programmatically translate strings?
I'm very unfamiliar with this area. What's the best way to programmatically translate strings from English to, let's say, Norwegian? By 'best way', I'm specifically interested in accuracy.
Do you have a more precise citation of this theorem? I'm curious.
The information is not in the thing itself as you say, it is in the first derivative, or in plain English, it is about the change. Not the presence of this or that perk, but when it was there and is taken away.
Let's recall the time that Wikileaks promoted unsubstantiated conspiracy theories about the Panama Papers which contained loads of damaging information about Putin (along with plenty of well-known westerners), in a blatant attempt to redirect the spotlight off of Russian corruption. The official Wikileaks twitter account essentially providing the outline for a propaganda piece on RT within hours.

Compared to other countries, in the region, but even in the west, very little.

Well, the US used to send you to prison for some marijuana just a few years ago. Some states still do. It's also quite punishable still in countries like Sweden. And all the others used to be problems not that long ago (maybe not being Malay, but "walking while black" still is). So it's not like Singapore is this nightmare outlier place.

How i raise my credit score
universal hack9 just prove to me that he is the best. My husband has a few things on his reports. They are loans we had when we were stationed overseas. He was medically discharged but the items went into collections because we were unable to pay them anymore. Is there any way to get these removed? He had perfect credit until this happened. We would like to buy a house and are back on our feet but his score is keeping us from obtaining his VA loan. What would you suggest? I contacted a friend about this and he referred UNIVERSALHACK9@GMAIL.COM me to, so I contacted him and he agreed to help us after paying him. To my surprise this guy cleared the debt on my husband’s report and raises the score to 779 just within weeks. Good news is we just moved to our new home. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH UNIVERSAL HACK9, I will always contact you for any hacking job I get.
Ask HN: Why YouTube don't add OG and Twitter Card data to Videos?
If we Tweet/share Youtube video to either Twitter or Facebook they don't generate a large sized card due to the absence of Twitter Summary and OG:Graph Data. I think Youtube videos should include this now.

> The name "orangutan" (also written orang-utan, orang utan, orangutang, and ourang-outang) is derived from the Malay and Indonesian words orang meaning "person" and hutan meaning "forest",[10] thus "person of the forest".[11]

“WikiLeaks published thousands of emails that year from Democrats during the presidential race that were stolen by Russian intelligence officers. The hackings were a major part of Moscow’s campaign of disruption.“

So, his indictment, if it’s happening, is related to the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election?

It also doesn’t sound like we have clarity if Assange is going to be indicted:
“It was not clear if prosecutors have filed charges against Mr. Assange.”
I agree with that assessment, we cannot be sure if it is the chicken or the egg. Which is the symptom and which is the root cause.

Another notion of that is that when companies want to downsize (I have seen this multiple times(e.g. they need to relocate and they want to get rid of the current pool and get a new one in the new/cheaper location), they can/may/are using this tactic do make people "unhappy" with the current environment, make the experience/enjoyment poorer (no more drinks/pizzas on fridays). For this purpose (reduce headcount even while in profit) some anticipated actions are to shrink bonuses/raises, but removing someone's joyful moments definitely helps.
So we should shoot him if he only reveals war crimes for one country, instead of 2?

I'm failing to see what your point is.
The preliminary investigation report is due out 29th Nov.

Boeing is already being sued.

A bit OT but how hasn't the cockpit voice recorder been found yet? It's been weeks while giving off a detectable ping and is in 30m of water, that's recreational level diving. You simply follow signal strength.

Given the big economic hit that occurred last time when Indonesian carriers were banned from Europe you have to wonder whether they actually want to find it.
No one here knows what he is even charged with.

I highly doubt it's something we expect. Plenty of media outlets passed information along similarly to Wikileaks. Any charges limited to actions we know publicly are going to be a disaster on so many levels, and everyone involved knows it. It would be monumentally stupid to pursue charges based only on what we know publicly. The NYT story makes this clear.

I suggest withholding judgement until we see the actual indictment. The other indictments that are (possibly) related that have been made public have provided a lot of detail and evidence.
The best way is to get the text professionally translated. You can use the gettext utilities and library to switch languages based on locale, or look them up from a database. I use gettext on a few websites to extract text strings, send them for translation in .po format (find a translator who can use POEdit), then display the translations on locale/language switch.

You can use the Google Translate API to do it on the fly but accuracy may suffer.
The key word in that phrase is "you".
Some siloed messengers offer some subset of XMPP connectivity.

However, we need to differentiate multiple aspects here:

- does the messenger allow users to use an XMPP client? This was possible on Facebook messenger for a while but was discontinued.

- does the messenger allow users to talk to XMPP users on other servers? This used to be possible with GTalk, but only if you didn't install Hangouts and only if the other server allowed unencrypted communication (which they typically don't since at least 2013). It's possible with Cisco and was possible with Lync/Skype for Business, but only after convincing your domain admin to whitelist the remote server.

- is it using XMPP under the hood? WhatsApp used to, before they mutilated the protocol. https://xmpp.org/uses/gaming.html lists some online gaming platforms that are technically XMPP, but it doesn't really matter for the users.

Quicksy answers to all these questions with a clear "yes", giving its users (and their friends!) more choices than any other phone number based IM system.

I'm very curious about the answer to this. I would expect the answer to be "yes." The current fad in alternative health groups is to tape your mouth shut while sleeping in order to improve sleep quality. I haven't heard of anyone dying yet even though it sounds pretty scary.
Completely agree. Imagine people had given up on the transistor. It took many attempts until there was a workable transistor. And then manufacturing still wasn't clear.

I am sure such things happen everywhere in the world. I have lived in China for a long time, and you won't ever know how worse some of the construction companies are, they just want money by keeping things just looking good in the appearance.

> Unfortunately, Assange and in effect WikiLeaks took a political and partisan position, and gave the moral footing for the authorities to that end.

So free speech, due process, and publishing rights are only granted to the nonpartisan? Are you kidding me?

This is part of a coordinated and well-funded effort by the CIA to reduce sympathy for him and his cause, so that they can deny him human rights without a big stink as soon as he's in US or US-ally custody. It's absolutely shameful.
Since you are here. Thanks for making this. I recently used it to prove to a client that the api I delivered could take any content they cared to throw at it. They were especially impressed considering they were coming from a 35 year old system that only allowed ASCII.

The BLNS allowed me to prove it and I hooked it into our integration and fuzz tests which managed to shake out a few bugs.

The Economic Perspective on Moral Standards
The problem is that the tool is being used in a business setting, but the phrase "free for personal use, contact me for a commercial license" does not obligate the users to obtain a different license. They are likely not selling the tool or distributing it, but merely using it.

If you really want a legal way to get companies to pay, phrase it as "free for non-commercial use" and include that in the public documentation as well as somewhere in the tool itself. Non-commercial includes the indirect commercial cases that would apply to the tool.
