I don't know why you're being downvoted. While the GP comment is total BS, what you wrote is simply the facts.

There's nobody in jail for writing anything.

The report is based on facts, but it goes overboard with the conclusions.

Edit: the BS comment is by oarsinsync, so it should be GGP, sorry if that led to confusionl.
Well, this certainly makes some of us look a bit stupid after criticizing him for crying wolf a few days ago.
the size of this comments thread and the amount of information on it is directly proportional to the even bigger hole you are getting into. You either come with a well defined plan of revenue for a company, so you can fulfil their Legal statement or you will only transmit DRM free content.
So basically he's been arrested for not complying with UK court orders, right? And the question now is whether the U.S. will seek extradition. Or did they already?

About time. It will be good see his case brought before the courts whatever they will be in the US, UK, Sweden ... staying in the embassy for so many years is just absurd.

It is just a bluff for attention.
The majority of the program has been redesigned and rewritten since the initial post 50 days ago, so I thought it would be alright to make another one. The Show HN rules say that 'A major overhaul is probably ok'. Would that still classify this as a dupe? Honestly, I was just excited of the progress made and what I had learned, and wanted to share/discuss it with others.

I didn't engage in any kind of promotional voting. It's free software given away under the MIT license. I don't gain anything from other people using it.
Does Orgzly work with Syncthing out of the box now? Last time I tried Orgzly it only used Dropbox for sync, which is what made me drop it at that time.
And what case would that be? The case in Sweden was dropped for example.
Dumb attitude.

For every extraordinarily recognized academic/professional person, there’s always going to be many times more people who are never publicly recognized for their achievements.

Maybe they fly under the radar, maybe they picked the wrong subject to focus on or industry for career, maybe their timing is bad, maybe there’s nothing wrong with them.

I’m proud of this (stranger to me) girl for accomplishing something so large at this age. Being about the same age, I’m not jealous - but it is one more reminder that somewhere along the line my record-player skipped a few years. My 20s disappeared too quickly, or maybe I was focused on the wrong things (work) instead of passion.
Exactly. One project I worked on a while back involved me taking a big pile of very clever and complicated Matlab code and rewriting it in python in a way that made it easy to use from other projects and able to read a couple of additional input file formats. If you just look at the commits on that project it would look like I was responsible for 90+% of the entire thing, while in truth I was basically just doing transcribing and cleaning and had basically nothing to do with any of the difficult parts.
The downvotes are typical in gender politics threads. There are two fronts aggressively arguing in a “you are either with us or against us fashion”

For the people questioning if she’s receiving unfair attention because of her gender they view you comment as an attack on the establishment ala: “How dare they exclude her!? Is it just because she’s a woman?” And downvote you. For the people arguing that her media coverage is being unfairly criticized because she’s a woman they view your question as an attack on the assertion that she deserves the attention so they downvote you.

In either case I think it’s interesting to ask why the proclaimed “woman behind the image” wasn’t there for the unvailing of the image.

This is the good old imperative-vs-declarative debate. jQuery is "(I think) I know what the current state of the UI is, make these changes", React is "I need the UI to be in this state, you figure out how to get it there".

In my experience, with jQuery you spend a lot more time making sure each and every event handler puts all UI elements in a correct state, often repeating yourself or calling the same helper functions. With React, all that computation is concentrated in render(), making it easier to reason about. And if you need to add a new UI element, reviewing all jQuery event handlers will again be a lot more work.

Of course, this assumes you are working on a real SPA with a lot of dynamic state, not on a reddit clone where all you need is a reply button to hide/show a textarea and a hidden field to track the parent post id.
I think this is where the confusion comes from. lick and stick haven't been generally available to regular buyers for some years now (i.e. go to a store that sells stamps and you get a book of 6 or 12) and the available ones are generally self adhesive. Great fun when my toddler finds a fresh book of "stickers" to stick all over the house...
The situation is different with sheets of stamps that the post office has but most of the time they just print a generic postage label with the exact denomination required so it's rare to get issued as a punter a lick and stick. as a result any "unused" UK stamps on ebay are ones that have been successfully lifted from unfranked letters (yes it's possible, despite the tear-holes cut into them)
This is deeply offensive. I'm the owner and founder of my company and I haven't written any meaningful code for our core products in 10 years. Our github repo has barely a scratch from me in it. Does this make my work, my hard long hours in managing my team and designing the product, worthless?

WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange Is Arrested in London
Here's a HN story from a while back titled "The Man Behind Windows PowerShell"[0].

Of the 129 comments on that story, not one discussed how software development at Microsoft is always a team effort. Or checked any repositories counting LoC to quantify the value of his contribution.

Meanwhile, in this thread, I see 6 of 73 comments as of now not discussing a woman's relative contribution to a team effort, and how she does or does not deserve praise.

I wonder if this has to do with the upcoming DECLAS. Seems that would be coming up soon given what Barr has just testified.
I prefer jQuery syntax than javascript. It's the only thing I miss about jQuery.

I also think there's a lot of people still using jQuery simply because they're scared of SPAs, the learning curve involved and how they basically change the role of a front end dev to more of a fullstack dev.

I once considered myself a front end dev but these days I'm using SPAs, running NodeJS, pulling & managing data from REST APIs, sending / retrieving stuff from a database, managing NoSQL database, using serverless functions, working with websockets and GraphQL etc..

Am I still considered a front end developer? Because I know front end developers who still carve a living out of HTML / CSS / jQuery alone. They'd be toast when it comes to present day job interviews for example for front end positions. It just seems like we need to split 'front end developer' in to about 3 or 4 levels to better represent people's skillset / what's expected of them.

Presumably Apple are the best in your totally impartial and unbiased opinion, right?
What case? The sexual assault charge in Sweden was dropped. Or are you talking about the USA wanting their day in court with him?
Yes. The whole episode looks very ill-judged.
Sure, and you can use things like co-recursion, which is how Agda (a total language) models potentially non-terminating computations. It means that while you can run forever, you need to perform productive work within finite time. As an example, consider producing an infinite sequence of items, but where each item is produced in finite time.

Also, in a high-performance setting, a surprising number of programs do not need recursion (and hence Turing-incompleteness) at all. In the vast majority of the Futhark programs I've written, `while` loops are either not used at all, or used for something fairly simple like an outermost convergence loop (and typically with a iteration bound anyway, so it could be written as a `for` loop with early exit).
no doubt he will be extradited to the US. This has been the game plan all along.

Free press my ass. The UK and US are fucking banana republics. The problem is that thanks to them controlling the biggest propaganda machine which has ever existed, their stinky ideas constantly rub off on other Western countries.

Anyone from the US still pointing the finger at China or Russia for being non democratic, not free, backward or whatever, deserves exactly what is coming.
I also feel the same way. He may have committed some heinous crimes outside of the actual hacking/leaking but to say we all didn't benefit from what we learned regarding how our government spies on us would just be flat out wrong..
Those are his companies, he founded them with his money. He's the CEO of all those companies, unlike the situation here. She wasn't the leader of the entire project. And she didn't even put her hands on the other aspects other than processing the image from the data.

> Another team leader might have botched it and we wouldnt have the picture.

How do you know that? The "might" means nothing here. There were many other teams working too and each of them have their talented leader doing complicated things. Choosing this one specifically from all others to take the credit is meaningless.
rip. at least he's already used to being confined to a small space.. don't expect any judge to feel sorry for him. no lawyer will get him out of this one.

This mean that the single most expensive police case in the history of UK will have an end. It will be interesting to see the final price tag in respect to the final verdict.

Of course Ecuador can revoke asylum.

It's very common practice around the world if a person's circumstances change and their original country is now safe. Likewise if Ecuador believes that there is no longer a threat to Assange they can revoke it.
I agree with your general sentiment but two comments:

1) Look back at any physic journal for similar stories of experimental success (example gravitational waves), you won't find news stories of focus pieces on a single team member because it is a COLLABORATIVE effort. The only cases were single people get recognition is for theorists like Prof Higgs, Hawkings etc, but not for the individual experimentalists at the LHC or other astronomical projects.

2) The idea of focussing on a single team member is a technique for creating a clear narrative that readers can follow. The story would get less interest if you were told about the live and works of all of the team members.

It's not all hate :)
Trump will just pardon him.
Care to elaborate?

There's many ways this could be a "good" thing: exposing the farce of international law when the US government and military claim global jurisdiction over a man who never set foot there seems just one of them.
Yeah, this is something that really bugs me about public transport.

It's simply not acceptable to have to stand on a bus. Ever. It should be treated as some sort of breakdown/failure condition. If it happens on more than a few % of journeys, the public transport authority should be putting on more buses.

Otherwise people are just going to take their car because they actually have control over their own comfort.

With trains it's a little harder due to physical constraints on the network, but with buses it's inexcusable to not just have more capacity, particularly at peak time (London buses get silly in the morning peak, for example).

edit: Replies here are completely missing the point. A car has comfortable seats whenever you want them. It's honestly a comical joke to have to explain "why I don't want to stand up". The obvious answer is because I don't have to in my car.

Public transport can be, and should be as comfortable as that. It can't be as private, sure, but there's no need for it to feel like cattle class.

I'd gladly pay twice as much for it to be better. It easily could be; in London for example if everyone gave up their cars and put the money towards public transport we could double or triple the number of buses.
the issue seems to be, agenda driven groups are finding their attempts to change pages thwarted by content managers who are more concerned about accuracy. this is far more common on the English speaking version of Wikipedia than elsewhere.

and typical of the situation, when the agenda is thwarted regardless of reason fall back on the media to shame the group standing in the way and be sure to portray it in an offensive manner not withstanding the real issue

Most C developers I have met are not very active online. Talking about their work in person is also a mixed bag. Maybe they just don't like talking about it.

Thats a stretch considering they invited the police to arrest him.
The immediate one is breaking bail conditions.

Possibly extradition to the US over Wikileaks stuff, but no pubic application for that yet. But if he could be extradited from the UK to the US over Wikileaks, why would the US do the convoluted "extradite him to Sweden then on to the US from there" scheme that he claims was in progress? (ducks)

Strategies like Autopilot are the worst of both worlds: They don't free up the driver and they are still susceptable to faults. Driving aids which engage to prevent an accident are a useful way to improve safety, driving aids which mean the driver is not in control and is just monitoring the system in case something goes wrong increases the likelihood of accident significantly.
By this logic, if I watch a recording of a TV show hours or days after it's aired, I'm not actually "watching" it.

One of the reasons I felt isolated in STEM 20 years ago was the very lack of role models. That's changing and I know for a fact, as I interact with young women, that seeing another woman in action as a professional in STEM helps them feel there is a place for them. It definitely fosters a sense of encouragement to pursue higher dreams.
Which is strange as the UK had little skin in the game to begin with
Julian Assange used to be hailed as a hero for exposing American hypocrisy, but with the secretive way wikileaks operated and the track record of anti-US releases, perhaps it was only a matter of time before Assange and wikileaks were used as pawns for geopolitics. Still, I'm curious when did Assange willingly start working for Russia --- was it from the very beginning, or was it after his legal troubles?

I wonder what Snowden thinks of the whole situation, as Assange did help him get to Russia. Has Snowden been actively involved in US politics (the way Assange and wikileaks substantially affected the last US presidential election)?

Actually I did not have in mind the download time, but the time required to parse and JIT compile the jQuery code.

This was, I don't remember, something like 30 or 100 ms, for jQuery — on my core i7 laptop (according to Chrome Dev Tools). Might mean ... maybe 200 ms? half a second? on an a few years mobile phone.
I think Wikileaks affiliated/sponsored from Russia 'cause Assange rejected documents about russian corruption: https://www.businessinsider.com/assange-turned-down-document...

> Let's say that you are only truly productive at a flat rate of 40% of your work time

That's not the case. Hourly productivity decreases at some point.

The law of diminishing returns is at play here. Working longer hours leads to higher overall output up to a point as the marginal increase diminishes.

Then, at some point you are too tired and produces bad software that will cost to fix.

If your employer pays you a flat rate then it is profitable to make you work long hours up to the point when you start screwing up.
If they pay you by the hour or if they pay you overtime, rationally they shouldn't push you beyond the point where your hourly output is too low to justify your pay.
I don't know if the rape case in Sweden can be reopened. But I suppose the US wants him in relation to the Russian election meddling investigation plus other cases and I suppose for him to be extradited he will first appear before a UK court.

There are obviously open cases as he has been arrested.
I thought Europe got over the whole book burning thing in the 1940s.
As far as we know, there is no extradition case in place.
I believe it was when he was sentenced?
What certificate holder doesn't evangelize their product? if they don't implement the thing from the certificate,what would be the point of learning the thing in the first place?

International law isn't enforcable, really. It would be great if it were, but why would sovereigns give up absolute control of their legal systems?
RIP. It's only a matter of time before he's extradited, and I would think the current US government would definitely push for the death penalty under the Espionage Act. I suppose it's little solace that he'll join a long list of illustrious names prosecuted under that infamous act. (Emma Goldman, Eugene Debs, Victor Berger, Chelsea Manning, Edward Snowden)
And the crime was dropped.

This reminds me of being arrested for resisting arrest.
I'm relatively neutral on Wikileaks/Assange, but this is a stretch. I don't think "illegally leaking documents" counts as a political opinion any more than I should be entitled to asylum because I have a "political opinion" that MDMA synthesis should be legal and got caught for engaging in it.

That's intended to cover things like persecution solely for being a member of a political party.
The "moral" course of events would be for him to receive a fair trial in the UK or Sweden concerning the rape and possibly the contempt of court charges.

The "immoral" course of evens would be if he was extradited to the US or some other country, receive an unfair trial, or having to defend against other charges.
I have heard that Assange let his cat shit everywhere and didn't clean up after it, FWIW. Perhaps that's what the comment was referencing.
Revoking his asylum could be in violation of Ecuadorian law.

(But IANAL specialized in Ecuadorian asylum law)
> I wonder what Snowden thinks

Guess all Snowden posts is curated by KGB.
Yes, that is pretty-much the current state of play - already existing mechanical platforms that have had some more-or-less clever automation (mainly guidance) added.

My thinking is that a smaller-machine, swarm approach might allow us to eliminate the fossil-fuel subsidy. Big machinery is much harder to do without diesel. With small machines, many of them cooperating, renewable energy fueling is much more (I think) approachable. (I may be wrong.)

If we're going to win this climate thing, one of the elephants in the room is decarbonising agriculture.

Hacker News isn't some monolithic community. Each time, you're seeing different people express their opinions. There's no hypocrisy there.

I think it's friggin awesome to see women in science. But even if Bouman was male I would still be cautious of attributing so much of an international collaboration to one person in the form of "Meet the _____ behind the first black hole image". That phrasing disregards too much hard work. I see no reason to offer Bouman special treatment in this regard at the expense of others solely because of her gender. That isn't equality.
It's cool but it doesn't look like it's worth paying for in my opinion as a lot of people make these sort of book reviews free online on Reddit.
The Equadorian president Moreno didn't like Wikileaks publishing the INA papers that have lead to accusations of corruption against him. Assange could prbably have forseen that would endanger his asylum but published anyway, kudos to him.
Reading the rest of the comments, it's surprising that so many people seem to have reduced WikiLeaks & Assange to 'co-conspirators with the President'. They've been around before the 2016 election.
