Wikipedia does a decent service, but its community is a toxic cesspool.

And I think one of the underlying issues with Wikipedia is its is community incredibly hostile to new editors. So any attempts by Wikipedia to correct for the bias toward white male editors is often undercut by its own community.
You sound like those US TV dramas where the main character is a kind cop put before a dilemma to either pouch an ugly terrorist once or twice on the nose or a school bus full of cute little children will be blown up by a bomb.

Yeah, in theory, there are other variables. In practice, the chances are that if you turn a blind eye to the routine torture children you are simply an evil person.
He was arrested for breaching bail conditions, which is not a criminal offence. Police either have to charge him (so he goes before a judge) or release him within 24 hours on the same bail conditions. They took the opportunity while he was in that 24 hour period to arrest him on a US extradition request.

Coordinating the releases of DNC emails with the Trump campaign is what did it for me. Wikileaks as a neutral outlet for leaking evidence of corruption is fine and in the past the worst anyone could say is that they were in way over their heads (remember the "insurance file"?). In 2016 Assange allowed politics to slip into the decision-making process, and gave up what credibility he and Wikileaks had.

For those who didn't realise above, I was being flippant.

On a slightly serious note though, I wonder how much productivity is lost in the scientific community due to poorly written and documented code?

I've heard stories of 40 year old Fortran code written by long deceased professors that was written to crunch physics numbers or whatever, and when it's come time to modify or add to it, nobody can make head nor tail of it and they have to write it from scratch.

There's a reason why in the non-academic world we have coding standards and code review. Code isn't written in a bubble, other people will look at it and work on it.

That's not to belittle or criticise the work done in the slightest. Cleanliness of code is orthogonal to functionality. You can have beautifully written, clean and documented code that doesn't do what it's meant to, and likewise you can have a complete mess of code that performs some genius function perfectly.

Assange is anything but a uniform thorn. He has continually supported and looked out for Russian interests.

If he wasn't biased there would be a lot more public support for him.

I think people underestimate the number of data points fb/google has access to. Many of these examples can be explained by other things.

Receiving baby items ads while no one knows your wife is pregnant ? Well maybe she googled a brand of baby strollers and fb used its graph + the fact that you're at the same location everyday after work to determine you're her husband.

Receiving ads for a small music band you only heard at that open mic night you randomly joined 3 days ago ? There probably was an event on fb with the list of bands that played that night + logged in the bar wifi.

With the number of people in the "hacker" community who want to prove fb and google are bad we'd already have real technical proof of it happening. Either they send the data back to a server and process it there, or process it on the device directly, both of which should be fairly easy to detect.
You're referring to a separate arrest of Assange for skipping bail. That's not what this article is about. Far be it from me to suggest you didn't read it.

I just wanted to know why he went with that one because his prediction was really accurate. And I thought him saying 'just trust me' was bad form.

He did talk some about this, but he didn't really say anything about why he thought his illustration would be so accurate compared to a lot of other stuff seen in the press.

I dont care (or have any idea why) how many downvotes or insults I get. It is a perfectly reasonable question and criticism.
In my limited experience of hiring, there are only two consistent rules that apply:

1. Be a top company - either have a big name people want to work for, or a (provably) talented team that do notable work. Everyone bullshits their way around this, but most devs sniff that out pretty quickly.

2. Pay more than others.

It's really as simple as that. When my ex-employers were well-known to people in our circles, we had a much-larger pick of the litter, and when we messaged other solid developers about the role, they were interested in interviewing. When we were either a smaller company or not notable, if we needed someone that could hit the ground running or take a commanding role, we paid above market rates instead of paying out of our ass for recruiters or long-term job ads. Two jobs ago, my employer "negotiated" a 10% rate with a local recruiter based on first-year salary, and were shocked when the person we hired was shit. They put the same job ad out again, with that rate on top of the salary, and ended up hiring a really good dev.

#2 worked the best for me in the past, and it shouldn't be a shock, but getting this to work came with its own challenges:

* Getting an employer to pay more than what is absolutely necessary. We all want the best dev team, but we don't all need the best team. Furthermore, most people don't care about the long-term issues an inexperienced/bad hire can make. They'd rather take the risk and play the hiring lottery than pay a bit extra.

* Having faith in your team to pick the best candidates. This is really hard, and everyone has an opinion, even twenty-something graduates who have never hired a person in their life, let alone a developer.

* Accepting that the people that have attended the interview aren't good enough. Most of the time, in my experience, people have been hired because they need a warm body in the chair, and they've had no other bites.
Nice to see someone who cares about their job! :)
Will not 'maintaining an image as a trustworthy and ethical actor' be the most efficient way of 'preventing other secrets from being leaked'?
i agree with your comment.

Just pick a random place to start, read some stuff, and then take a guess as to which direction to go in next, based on what's probably a good next thing to read. Then keep repeating the process over and over again.

This is a tactic in itself. I can't find the details behind it, but the act of so much misinformation at once that helps drowned out more factual news while simultaneously making it so that you don't believe what you're reading. It's not a new tactic, but it's well used.

> He went from an unsympathetic yet credible figure to one that's hard to side with for virtually anyone.

The MO is shoot the messenger. As old as the hills.

We aren't discussing what Wikileaks leaked anymore. We are discussing Julian Assange's cats. See how they shifted our attention? That's the power of a propaganda - eventually, it will work. They just have to keep at it, and they did.

Nobody even disputed what was leaked. Officials confirmed the authenticity and so far, 0% is wrong of the leaks. Yet, we are still discussing how the condom slipped, the smell of the cat, and so on, and so on.

No consequences for anyone, almost. We should focus on whether the leaks are legitimate or fabricated and then deal with the perpetrator(s) in a court of law. We should not focus on the person that had the platform to leak them on.

It's so easy to see that this is orchestrated. This cannot be a coincidence. I can only imagine the kind of pressure Ecuador was under for the last few years. Finally, they conceded. Can't blame them - you can't go against military superiority of that kind.
There is actually nothing really in the BBC story about being a women other than in the context of her getting attention on twitter, but barely that. I think whoever changed the title might have been confused as well. It doesn't refer to woman as gender but woman as subject as in e.g. "the man walked his dog".
>"and considering the public mood after a several year campaign to demonize Wikileaks and Assange by the US media"

The "public mood"? Seriously? That's a pretty ridiculous phrase. There is no "public mood" in the US about Julian Assange. In fact outside of today's news cycle he's barely been mentioned. Wikileaks itself has been mentioned mostly as part of Mueller investigation stories but there's not been much about Assange personally in years.
I think with today's technology there's no need to build a card reader into the drone itself. It can just be handled online prior to delivery (or after successful delivery).
My three priorities are convenience, comfort, and noise-cancelling (call me a heretic, but for me A2DP is "good enough" quality-wise, so I don't care about that).

I already have a pair of super-comfortable noise-cancelling headphones that I carry everywhere, and getting an adapter is more convenient than carrying wired headphones in one pocket and wireless headphones in another pocket :P

Are you saying that that's not true? I don't speak Swedish so I can't go back to the actual documentation to check myself.

The second statement doesn't follow from the first. He was both wanted for questioning in a rape investigation _and_ wanted for extradition to the US.

You can both want him to face charges for rape, and also not want him to be extradited to the US.

The lack of regard for a rape case against him (mostly by male commenters, it has to be said) is very troubling.
I've found that CS contributions in academia are often poorly credited (sometimes even entirely neglected) to endeavors not purely executed within CS itself.

It's interesting considering how many modern scientific endeavors are dependent on new innovative algorithms, software, and computing techniques in both experimental and theoretical work then its frequently just hand-waved away as "technology."

I'm not saying such contributions (typically, though they can,) lay groundwork for an experiment or theory in another domain, but I am saying active CS involvement/expertise is typically critical to many scientific endeavors' success these days. If a project is interdiscipinary, there's probably a computer scientist on the team helping out.
The reason why this is preferential is probably due to the fact that markup and CSS are declarative while JS is procedural

I feel like this is an uncharitable interpretation that dives into intent. Humans in my experience are generally not prone to such nuanced planning regardless of their influence. A more reasonable assumption is that the writers of the article genuinely believe that Wikipedia is biased against women, which is evidence towards a world belief that systemic bias against women exists in the writer's society, which is a position increasingly associated with the Democratic party of the united states. In other words, correlated but not causative events are occuring.

To clarify, this is an acronym for mergers and acquisitions. That wasn't immediately clear to me.
Have you considered that Assange's supporters don't think he is pro-fascist or that he hates the US? Why don't you try justifying those points instead of just calling everyone here pro-fascist like it's so obvious?

Can someone explain how an AMP page would possibly be slower?

Especially given Google's CDN and the fact it's likely to be preloaded in practice?

I find myself wondering if this isn't just some artifact of the Chrome tool being used to measure performance -- especially since that tool reports an overall score like "94", not an actual speed -- and the weightings it uses [1] could be different from what AMP is designed specifically to speed up. Also it would have to be measured across a wide variety of locations worldwide, etc., certainly if the author's webserver is in their own city, for example.

A lot more data, measured rigorously, would be needed to prove that AMP is actually slower in practice -- it's a bold claim.

Sure, it's definitely a possibility - but not a likely one. The people in charge of any such operation against Wikileaks would be particularly mindful of their own operatives leaking to WL itself.

There's no reason whatsoever to assume WL has any information about anything at any given time, unless they've publicly suggested that they have.

My 2 cents: the only categories of “real” value are human life (measured in time, i.e., wages) and non-renewable resources (land, minerals, etc.) Building buildings takes a lot of both, so it is a “real” expenditure. Software is more-or-less a service good that only transfers money from one party to another. An implication of the US divesting it’s manufacturing capacity to China is that there’s a lot more “just” moving money around and a lot less building “real” value.
Question is, what did the project aim to achieve? Take a picture of the black hole?

Yes, section 8.2.1 "Value Category" (page 80) of the C++17 standard[0] defines the terms as:

(1.1) - A glvalue is an expression whose evaluation determines the identity of an object, bit-field, or function.

(1.2) - A prvalue is an expression whose evaluation initializes an object or a bit-field, or computes the value of the operand of an operator, as specified by the context in which it appears.

(1.3) - An xvalue is a glvalue that denotes an object or bit-field whose resources can be reused (usually because it is near the end of its lifetime).

(1.4) - An lvalue is a glvalue that is not an xvalue.

(1.5) - An rvalue is a prvalue or an xvalue.

It also has a diagram summarising it (equivalent to the one in the article, but the article's is clearer IMO):

expression
/ \
glvalue rvalue
/ \ / \
lvalue xvalue prvalue

Where every expression is in one of the three value categories in the bottom row.

The dragon book doesn't "gloss over" parsing at all, and is how I learned to create practical parsers by hand (recursive-descent and simple bottom-up parsers) or using lex/yacc. I'd also recommend learning Prolog for easy DCG parsers and extensions (DCTG/attribute grammars).

Hmm? This just goes to show that the USA didn't need to manufacture rape allegations in Sweden just in order to get Assange extradited, since their best chance of doing so was to extradite him from the UK.

If they were heinous then a) they wouldn't have needed a sealed indictment, and b) the US couldn't possibly claim jurisdiction, surely the country he committed them in would have laws covering it. So we can dismiss the possibility.
There are, just factually speaking, a lot of headlines reading something like "this is the woman who wrote the code..."
