No one said that he should get away with criminal activity. The problem is that the entire media has been overwhelmed with the Russia collusion narrative for almost 3 years at the exclusion of much more important problems with actual evidence. And now that collusion wasn't found, the Russiagate conspiracy theorists shift attention to petty crimes of little consequence. Most politicians in high office are guilty of similar crimes on both sides of the aisle, and worse. How about: Illegal and unconstitutional NSA surveillance of the entire domestic population; collusion with the medical, financial, and military industries to the point of bankrupting the country; collusion orders of magnitude worse than anything Russia is accused of with Saudi Arabia and Israel, which is backed by explicit evidence, such as the 100 billion arms sale to Saudi, the Yemen war veto, moving of the Israel embassy to Jerusalem, the very existence of AIPAC lobbying, the "giving" of the Golan Heights to Israel, and the unconstitutional anti-Israel boycott laws on the books of many states.

But no, we must waste three years on a phantom conspiracy with no evidence because of political revenge. Consolation prize is we get to complain about obstruction of justice that will never get prosecuted because Pelosi is in on the corruption herself.

I did not know about tinygo and this is pretty impressive. However, it is only a subset of Go missing a few features, most notably the fact that memory is never deallocated.

Also, the equivalent JavaScript is still a fraction of this size. That's actually roughly the size of Preact, which implements nearly all of React.

Also, Instagram is not the measure of success. I know a few photographers who are good, even excellent, and have more Instagram followers than Sebastião Salgado, who in my opinion is the best photographer walking the earth right now.

I kinda thank you for your comment, it gives me more...hope? :) (I'm an artist)
The same way when we see other human did something extraordinary that we think human can't do(based mostly on ourselves) For example, an artist who can draw something so life-like or sculptor who shape hard marble into soft, flowing clothes — with just hammer and chisel.

Human potential always intrigues us "What? Human can do THAT?" kind of way.

Yes, the machine and AI can do the same thing at the fraction of time, from the practicality standpoint, but it's not and never be the same — it's empty. It's just lifeless product and we never feel related to it.

For future reference, next time you need to store millions of related small files, it might be worth checking if SQLite is an option instead of using the filesystem: https://www.sqlite.org/fasterthanfs.html

Performance aside, I wish NodeJS had a way to pack all its little turds into one SQLite file, out of sight. (Admittedly I hadn't thought to look for such a thing until now... Preliminary results are negatory.)

Pretty sure (don't quote me) those are read only and repo specific but that could contain all sorts of juicy info depending how lax you are with security of configs in private repos.

Even then just read access to code often allows enough info for leveraging/escalating privilege.
Welcome to Climate Change
To illustrate more this idea, let's use soundtrack v=negh-3hi1vE on youtube. Such soundtracks consist of multiple more or less repeating patterns. The period of each pattern is different: some background pattern that sets the mood of the music may have a long period of tens of seconds. The primary pattern that's playing right now has a short period of 0.25 seconds, plays for a few seconds and then fades off. The idea is to split the soundtrack into 10 second chunks and map each chunk to a vector of a fixed size, say 128. The same thing we do with words. Now we have a sequence of shape (?, 128) that can be theoretically fed into a music generator and as long as we can map such vectors back to 10 second sound chunks, we can generate music. Then we introduce a similar sequence that splits the soundtrack into 5 second chunks. Then another sequence for 2.5 seconds chunks and so on. Now we have multiple sequences that we can feed to the generator. Currently we take 1/48000th second slices and map them to vectors, but that's about as good as trying to generate meaningful text by drawing it pixel by pixel (which we can surely do and the model will have 250 billion weights and take 2 million years to train on commodity hardware).

I don't think it is biologically plausible at all that a common chemical exposure exists. It is possible, just unlikely. It also doesn't match up with what we know about pollutant chemicals being a wide range of compounds, nor the broad range of cancers seen with other known pollutant chemicals.

I would be far more likely to believe that a large number of unrelated cancers in an area were caused by pollutant carcinogens, than a small number of rare cancers.

I don't know if there is an elevated rate of cancer in this area, but I assume not since it would be the first thing that anyone looking at this rare cancer cluster would look for.

It really angers me that, despite the fact that it may be essentially perfectly what I'm looking for, if it was published long ago, Google may refuse to find it.

Something like a news search engine would definitely be better off prioritising the new results, but for something more general-purpose, it's an absolutely horrible choice.

I know this may be a bit of an edge-case, but I frequently search for service information or manuals for products that predate even the invention of the Internet by several decades. It saddens me that the results are clogged with sites selling what may really be public-domain content, and now I'm even more angered by the fact that what I'm looking for is probably out there and could've been found years ago, but just "hidden" now.

Of course, if you try harder, you'll get the infamous and dehumanising(!) "you are a robot" CAPTCHA-hellban. I once triggered that at work while searching for solutions to an error message, and was so infuriated that I made an obscene gesture at the screen and shouted "fuck you Google!", accidentally disturbing my coworkers (who then sympathised after I explained.)

it is of course just a matter of time for either of the companies you mentioned to "be hacked" (obviously it's happened countless times with Microsoft, both the OS and their cloud services like O365, and there was a recent high profile revelation that the google apps suite APIs exposed user info to developers). the difference is incident response and layered security.

as long as you're using software somewhere in the stack that isn't like maturity level 5, AND you don't have constant audits looking for novel attacks on working-as-intended systems, you're pretty much guaranteed to inherit (or create) a vulnerability at some point, and if you're important enough it will get exploited. the reason that doesn't mean we should start modeling computer systems as "living organisms that eventually get old and die" and should keep modeling security like war is that when you get hit, you can respond. all the layers matter, and insofar as Microsoft or Google do it right, they primarily do it right by having a mature process for monitoring, patching, isolating, etc.

as for docker hub though, yeah i'm totally with you. i'm just saying we shouldn't overestimate the preventive capacity of anyone, honestly. if you're doing anything important over the internet at all, you're making some compromises somewhere.

My guess is it's a combination of what the Sri Lankan poster above mentioned combined with a reaction to further technical escalation by the citizenry.

Unfortunately, there are too many unknowns w.r.t. Sri Lanka's government/cultural values for me to even hazard a guess as to what the endgame is beyond minimizing net driven attempts to organize.

What I do see potentially transpiring, however, is someone figuring out how to host basic net based communication within the country; odds are though, the government feel themselves sufficiently equipped to take down in country rabble rousing, and possibly aim to keep outside influences from inflaming things further.

Best thing you can do if you want to get out, is find the IP addresses for your particular of site, and use that. DNS based blocking does squat if you're maintaining your own registry of IP->Domain Name bindings. If they catch on and start trying to IP block, well, welcome back to the pre/early internet days. Hopefully you know someone willing to host you a forwarding proxy.

Stay safe Sri Lanka folks.

Literally the line before the one you quoted. Normally I wouldn't, but seriously, are you a loser everywhere or just online?
I didn't read it that way at all, it's simply highlighting that there's a large number of options to chose from! It's great that more companies are publishing their design frameworks, although part of the reason for doing this is certainly to attract talent.

Having partially reviewed a couple of these, I'd say quality varies quite a bit so be sure to dig through the code to see if you'd be comfortable helping maintain that. Always be sure to review the license! For example, Microsoft Fabric is MIT, but the assets (fonts and icons) are under a separate license.
I'm not sure I buy that they have no choice. For websites that literally have an infinite number of (dynamically generated) pages, sure, they could detect that and exclude them. But we're talking about unique, static pages here. And they don't even have to store the whole page, just the indexed info. I read this as, they could, but it's cheaper not to, and most people won't notice anyway.
FYI, Material UI is working on the issue as well [0].

An Archaeologist Challenges Mainstream Scientific Thinking (2017)
Yeah, the modern day ripple was a money based on debts, but it got bought out and replaced with a blockchain around 2013 once bitcoin got super popular, and the whole debt idea was wiped clean from ripple. The new owners just wanted the ripple brand.

Meanwhile, the debt idea is resurfacing on top of blockchains in the form of lightning payments. You can transact quickly via debts amongst a network of peers that settle their debts back to the blockchain for backing.
I believe it’s a well established legal theory that a President can not be charged with obstruction for exercising his Constitutional duties.

For example a President can issue pardons. Even for crimes which have not yet been charged or tried. This clearly “obstructs justice” and yet is also very clearly not obstruction of justice in a legal sense.

I am skeptical about any claim the investigation simply failed to find evidence that was there to be found, if not for obstruction by Trump. This was a very expensive, very long, very comprehensive investigation. My understanding is that Trump waives executive privilege and have quite unprecedented levels of access to his cabinet, staff, and even White House counsel.
I'm wondering if it inlines it (and thus eliminates it).

But this would come with a performance penalty: it makes the function you assert() in no longer a leaf function (it calls assert()) and AFAIK, Go only inlines leaf functions. (So, any function in which you call assert() is no longer eligible for inlining.)
Matrix shows how thorough the switch to HTTP has become. Like with DoH, what makes Matrix most attractive is the ability to implement solutions using pre-existing web application stacks, like Node.js. It's a sort of path dependency where the easiest way to implement a simple solution starts with a very complex, mostly superfluous foundation.

The fact that port 80 and 443 are less likely to be blocked is a distant, secondary factor. Frankly, I've never been on a network that blocked other outbound ports. And I've definitely never seen a network where hosted services could only ever receive traffic on port 80 or 443. Rather, I think it's more (if not entirely) a matter of people justifying the use of web stacks to implement services which cry out for simpler solutions.

What how does that work logically or in reality ? Good guy has no gun, bad guy does, 100% good guy gets robbed, raped, kidnapped, or killed. Good guy has gun, bad guy runs away most of time or sometimes gets killed or captured or otherwise stopped some of time, or sometimes robs, rapes, or kills good guy despite good guy gun some of time. 100% of time I like the second scenario.

"Studies that directly assessed the effect of actual defensive uses of guns (i.e., incidents in which a gun was 'used' by the crime victim in the sense of attacking or threatening an offender) have found consistently lower injury rates among gun-using crime victims compared with victims who used other self-protective strategies. ... Almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals, with estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million per year, in the context of about 300,000 violent crimes involving firearms in 2008."cdc see https://www.investors.com/politics/columnists/how-many-lives...

To be fair, Paul Manafort is in prison for things he did before Trump even thought about running for President.
The classic issue here is the lack of evidence could mean it didn't happen or that that the evidence is expertly hidden.

However the American spy network is large, well provisioned, has no compunction about spying on Russians and was controlled by Democrats when the alleged conspiracy took place. If there is no conclusive evidence of collusion then it didn't happen.

The idea that the Russians are better at influencing the American people than the Democrat and Republican campaign machines is jaw dropping. It doesn't make any sense. Trump could have found more capable people to collude with if he wanted to.
I think this is a very interesting idea. A couple of questions:

1. Why is the mediation fee 1 credit? This appears to be an arbitrary choice with no rationale. Why not let the market decide?

2. What prevents me from setting up a fake node and just extending myself a bunch of credit? Is this where human judgement/trust comes in? I.e. my friends trusting me that I'm not engaged in this sort of manipulation? (I'm not saying this is inherently a flaw, just curious if you've considered it).

3. In the Alice, Bob, Charli example, why don't Bob and Charli just link up instead of more-expensively going through Alice?

I have my own answers to these questions, but I'm curious what your response is. I can see this project going in a slightly different direction from how you describe it in the initial release.

The bias on this forum is largely American european or western. How do I know this? Language. You'd obviously get a different flavor of bias on a chinese forum. Can you imagine yourself claiming your own country to be more corrupt than another? If not then how can you imagine a prideful chinese person doing the same? Bias colors every corner of this forum just like it would color a chinese forum.

I would say I am less biased on this topic than the average person on HN. How can I say that though when bias can color my judgement on my own bias? How can anyone say such a thing due to this recursive fact?

I believe the method around this problem is not to use your own judgement to judge bias in your own judgement but to look at external factors surrounding your circumstance and use probabilistic causative connections between those external factors and possible bias to determine a persons' overall level of bias. For example, an African living in the congo will have less bias on a China vs. America debate than a chinese person, an icelander will be less biased than a new yorker for the same debate. The external factor in the previous examples is race and location.

So for me I come from a more different background. I am chinese and american. I hold no nationalistic pride for either country and I could see my self living in either country if need be. It's apples and oranges to me, literally. Racially though, I'm chinese so from circumstance my bias would be equal to an chinese born american but less than an american born white guy or an asian born mongoloid. Overall I'm probably more biased than the african.

In short, I am less biased than most people on this forum because of my background. So a neutral venue would be like people who talk about this stuff but are mostly from like singapore.
The report very clearly states that their investigative efforts were stymied by lies from witnesses, and deleted evidence. If you combine this with the President's behavior and the rest of the report, it requires a larger assumptive leap to say that they did not coordinate with Russia to influence the 2016 US elections.

What is a modern filesystem and what are its performance characteristics? If you don't want to evaluate these things ahead of time, erring on the side of using subdirectories is safer — it's unlikely to be much worse even on filesystems with fast huge directory traversal and lookup, and it's a lot better on conventional filesystems.
