64-bit integers are referred to as 'long' in languages I'm more familiar with, so personally I would have expected an "L" suffix. 32-bit integers are referred to as 'integers' in many languages, so I wouldn't expect an 'i' suffix. In any case, I certainly agree that "n" is confusing since Javascript already has a numeric type.
I think that is too short for cultural reasons. I think it needs to be at least long enough that something new can come out during a person's childhood and become important to them, and still be under copyright when that person is an adult and has children of their own, so that they can introduce it to their own children. Maybe even long enough that this will work for grandchildren too.

Short terms can make that hard. For example, suppose your childhood thing was "Calvin & Hobbes". With a 14 year term that would be public domain by the time you are an adult, and I have no doubt that advertisers would have immediately conscripted Calvin to push toys and cereals ("It's even better than Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs") and such and saturated children's media with this.

So then you go to share with your kid what was your favorite comic strip when you were a kid, and they have no interest in a strip about the Kellog's and Mattel and such spokes character that they've been bombarded with already for years.

Maybe it is time to consider different terms for different copyright rights? Shorter term for the right to make and distribute literal copies, but longer terms for the right to make and distribute derivative works?
Back then, I and a number of the other legal dudes on HN were saying that the US would definitely try to extradite Assange no matter how long he tried to stay in the embassy.[1] We all generally agreed he should face justice in Sweden (if he was innocent, as he claimed) because Sweden does not extradite for the crimes he is now charged with...but the UK does. While it's possible Sweden might have deported him to Australia after whatever happened in Sweden, that scenario was never brought up.

[1] We're still trying to extradite Polanski, even though he's been a fugitive for decades. The US legal system has patience, largely because everything takes so long anyways.
The mods can turn comments off on posts, but rarely do. I think, if we want to broaden the kinds of stories that can survive without flagging, that should happen more often.

Depends on what you consider full HD. Sure, if you're getting something from a streaming site you'll be lucky to get 5 GB/hr. But from a high quality source like a Bluray I would say 6 GB / hr is about the absolute minimum (for a crappy old transfer), and over 15 GB / hr would not be unheard of.
> This stuff isn't even worth thinking about.

If more front-end developers have this mindset, I'm beginning to understand how the web (and the desktop, via electron and such) has become the embarrassingly slow and unusable mess that it is nowadays.
Ah yes, the completely logical argument that in order to be able to complete a rendition outside the legal process, those dastardly Swedes decided to commence a very public legal process against him requiring him to be on trial in Sweden...

(The UK makes dubious decisions to repatriate asylum seekers to countries like Egypt all the time FWIW)
Can you blame Snowden for accepting that "hospitality"?

You only get one life and I don't blame him at all for not wanting to spend the rest of his time on Earth rotting in an American prison. I don't think we can say anything about his true intentions just based on the fact that he chose one of the few (possibly the only?) alternatives presented to him.

Unless we think the information he provided is intended to be misleading, the ball's in our court now (and we are dropping it). Whether or not he chooses to martyr himself to the American "justice" system is irrelevant now.
Plus, with as high resolution as cameras are now, you could even identify some of the products and brands in their house, estimate taste and income based on interior finishes and visible products. Is that birthday cake sitting on a granite countertop? Expensive furniture or cheap? KitchenAid mixer in the background? Oh look, a book shelf in the background, lookup all those titles. Bill O'Reilly book, must be conservative. Rachel Maddow books, liberal.... There really is a ton that can be gleaned from just random photos.
I utilize a similar system to "reverse engineer the year".

Breaking down the major outcomes I want for the year into quarters which each having a specific focus and theme. At the end of each quarter I have a 90 day review to reflect on how I'm doing, where I'm heading and if there is any recalibration that needs to happen from changing priorities.

Each month I is essentially 3 "Acts" that play out the goals of that quarter and those in turn have weekly sprints.

With all that said the day is the most important of it all. What I choose to do each day reverberates across the year. This is where deep investment in intentionally building habits and focusing on systems over goals come into play.

I write more about that system here:

I'm not sure what the point of this comment is. Julian Assange predicted his fate if he left the embassy? So?

I think he should be in court while the accusers plead their case. Ellsberg beat the government in court afterall.

The only alternative is to abolish the courts and legal system and let people get a free pass since the system is not perfect.
Was this bizzare unprovoked statement really necessary?
I simply don't see how 'free speech', which is a concept almost entirely unique to the USA, is related to being annoyed that your hypothetical commute was interrupted.

If you dispute the idea, I suggest you try pulling the emergency brake as a joke and see how fellow commuters treat you.
I don’t believe the source of the secret files is ever protected in a court of law from prosecution, but the publisher may be.

For example the Pentagon Papers were released by Daniel Ellsberg and published by The NY Times. From Wikipedia;

> For his disclosure of the Pentagon Papers, Ellsberg was initially charged with conspiracy, espionage, and theft of government property, but the charges were later dismissed after prosecutors investigating the Watergate scandal discovered that the staff members in the Nixon White House had ordered the so-called White House Plumbers to engage in unlawful efforts to discredit Ellsberg.

An FBI agent, military enlisted or officer, etc. would rightly face charges for doseminating classified materials. There is no carte blanche to break the law because of something you don’t like that your Administration is doing. Sometimes the offense is so egregious that it’s a sacrifice someone is willing to make. In those cases if the court of public opinion is enough on the side of the leaker, there is always pardons or jury nullification to fall back on.

But I do think that it’s still precipitated by an illegal act (the leaking) which can rightly be prosecuted because generally classified material is classified for a reason and it’s not up to each individual that comes across it to decide if they agree or not.

The publisher also has to be careful that they are not soliciting or assisting the leaker in providing the materials lest they become an accomplice. I assume, although I’m not fully up to speed on the case, that this is the angle for charging Assange.
Thank your for the detailed answer.

> Attempting to do it completely manually has no benefit that I can see

Package managers and build tools can do basically whatever they want - run commands, execute binaries, download data, upload data, send telemetry - whatever any one of the package maintainers wants.

I prefer to develop in an offline VM. When a new library is required I just download it using the host machine, copy into VM and use it there. It's easy with make/cMake.
In addition to the reliability mentioned, the surplus power is important for runway takeoff performance and safety (carrying more weight off a given length runway and, in the event of a single engine failure, you want the plane to be able to climb away on one and large power surplus at low altitude is the answer). Turbines also have much more predictable service schedules, with fewer unplanned maintenance events.

Most turboprops also offer beta and reverse, which aids in stopping the airplane, contributing to both landing and rejected takeoff safety improvements.

Lastly, turbines burn Jet-A, which contains no tetraethyl lead, unlike 100LL avgas. Jet-A is typically more plentiful and cheaper per Joule as well, offsetting some of the fuel economy in gallons penalty. (The fuel economy in dollars is less unfavorable.)

There's a reasonable argument to be made that if the practical turbine were invented first, we might not have piston-powered aircraft.
I'm reading that "simple" word on the GP as something that doesn't impose a workflow on you. (What's ironically best described by "versatile", but somebody not used to the tool can not use most of the functions.)

Saying that the countries do not die, as the referenced article suggests is not right: states do disappear every once in a while. Yes, their lifespan is usually longer than for humans a but it's not infinite.

But even looking at mortal humans: in 2008 many of them have realized that no, it's not possible to keep borrowing indefinitely. Some day the creditors may ask for their money back.

Some people suggest we'll just print the money we need. The problem is that now I can take this money and buy half of your country before you realize what's going on.
Julian Assange is exactly the hill I'd die on, because rights apply to all people, even the worst. And that's how they start chipping away at them.
You’re being down voted but you’re spot on. It’s tough to have civil discussions when the subject matter is extremely sensitive. How do we verify the classification of certain programs is truly sensitive not simply politically motivated?

To your first point, I believe we are screwed as long as Citizens United stands (0). We the people will always be out-coordinated by the oligarchs and their bureaucrats.

Which leads to your second point. As long campaign spending of the super rich is protected as “free speech” (the result of Citizen’s United) we are stuck with politicians who can be bought and sold. Men and women with strong moral codes cannot be bought, and therefore will not win elections. Exceptions are few and far between.

In the prisoners’ dilemma, it is true that even a single bad actor has the ability to disrupt the rest.

One limitation of that thought experiment is that it assumes defection is guaranteed to achieve a certain outcome.

I think it’s reasonable to assume that any cooperative strategy has some computable “defection tolerance” and a variant on the prisoners’ dilemma that accounts for this could have very different outcomes than the classical formulation.

Furthermore, once you start playing multiple times with the same players, you establish an algebra of trust that also drastically changes the game. The ability to influence other players between rounds also changes the game.

what steveklabnik said. if I understand correctly, this is dealing with that 5 as if integers were a generic type. which is the expected "default" behavior (as in compiler design, not programmer daily use). a generic type would be stored on the heap, and references there make sense to avoid copies. what happens here is that integers are special because they are stored in the stack, they are immutable, and always copied, but this special behavior, which makes the reference "absurd" here, hasn't been dealt with (yet).

so yeah, it looks super weird, but when you stop to think about it, it's just that we are so used to integers being "special" that when we see them treated like a generic type it makes us cringe. interesting.
I can promise you the JavaScript runtime is not the cause of whatever "slow and unusable mess" you've experienced.
It wouldn't make sense for your phone to be part of a P2P network. It's only connected to your radio tower, and not really anything else.

Also, you could define a maximum file limit size, and at that point your phone would be considered backed up, and then if no other route is found, the transfer is cancelled after a certain timeout.

Beating up on qsort
That source mostly delineates what defines global top one percent. I'm addressing your claim that most if not all people reading and participating in discussion on HN are in the top ten percent globally, for which you gave no figure and for which I cannot readily find a cut off figure for annual income per se. I did find a figure for net worth, which I cited. My net worth absolutely doesn't put me in the top ten percent globally and I'm American.

Could you either kindly provide an exact figure on annual income for the top ten percent, or walk that claim back and admit you were in error on your assumptions about the readership here or both?

Because I've been a regular participant for nearly a decade and I've been dirt poor for most of that time.

Thanks.

> we don’t know how many people the world can hold

We DO know that at our current population and current level of technology and/or level of comfort, the world CANNOT hold the number of people that are currently occupying it. That's why we're facing climate disaster and unprecedented levels of pollution. There's just too many of us.

So, the answer is to, if not shrink the population, at least not keep growing it incessantly. People are acting like population controls are some huge affront to them. In a place with limited resources, you need to limit the number of mouths to feed, or resource shortages (or evironmental catastrophe) will do it for you, and much more violently.

Funny but it's true. Hell, my 3rd time deadlifting I had an appointment with my trainer and almost cancelled because of 3 different back issues which all flared up(scapular pain, mid back and a new lower back issue). I couldn't get in and out of a car without pain, but I wanted to see if things would resolve and I waited to the last minute to where I didn't want to cancel. I got to the gym and convinced myself that I could handle the movement. Put on a belt, tightened my core, and got through several sets, working my way to my PR at the time of 315. I fully expected to regret it the next day. Nope. Back felt great.

When I started doing bar squats I thought I found my favorite exercise. Then I deadlifted. I get excited thinking about them, which sounds kind of strange. The feeling I get after properly executing a heavy deadlift is... almost better than sex. My body seems to be built for the movement and moving that much weight just feels amazing. Nothing has worked my traps and hamstrings like DLs.
At least for that one, it can ostensibly explained by "In Windows tar isn't supported".

The down votes you have should indicate the general opinion here, but;

Microsoft's takeover of GitHub is generally considered in the open source community as a negative.

After all, Microsoft's behaviour indicates a generally opposing ideology.

With regards privacy, Microsoft is up there with the worst of them (a la Facebook) with their telemetry, at the very least.

Beyond that, Microsoft has a ( perhaps rightly so) capitalist agenda which doesn't fit with open source.

In case you missed the mass exodus from GitHub on the announcement of their takeover, those that value the freedoms of Libre generally are not in favour of a Microsoft GitHub.

Giving GitHub your bank details can be reasonably synonymised with giving Microsoft your bank details and giving them a cut of the money you intended to give to a developer.

At this point, all the additions to GitHub that Microsoft are making, demonstrate how disconnected they are from that community.

Alternatives such as open collective are quite well regarded in this community and their ideology aligns like Microsoft's never will.

Worse comes to worse, you can ask a developer for a PayPal, Bitcoin or plain old bank details and just send money straight you them.

I'm not saying there are not those for whom this will be of value, but GitHub as-was is no more and ideally if some neutral party willing to host an open source, libre alternative were to show themselves, or would be more desirable than a Microsoft GitHub, for this community.

To present my anecdotal example; I don't run Windows, I don't have an Xbox, I don't have my bank details in GitHub; Microsoft is up in the top-list of companies that don't (willingly) get my bank details.

What most do not realize is that it is not about Huawei. The Huawei ban is nothing but an attempt of Trump to force China into a deal that it does not want. We can only speculate what will happen but I am pessimistic about the consequences for all of us.

The Huawei ban is making the whole world to realize that they depend too much on the US and all who realize this will work (jointly?) to reduce or eliminate this dependency which ultimately means that the US will sell less products.

Russia and China have been increasing their gold reserves to be able to get rid of the US dollar and there will be a new way of trading. Since economies of India and China are growing, the economy of the USA reduces (relatively). Europe, China, Russia, India, Iran, Irak and other countries do not agree with US policies, so the risk that US policies will fail some day should not be underestimated.
Excellent-ly said.
Nobody likes an evangelist, whether they are right or not. E.g., I’d be more inclined to learn rust if its proponents didn’t have such a Southern Baptist tone.
Journalists normally know full well that they're asking sources for classified information. Asking for classified information is absolutely routine in investigative journalism.

> Asking is fine, soliciting is not (in this context, soliciting means offering them something of value in exchange for the information).

Assange didn't purchase the information.

The theories you're supporting would make reporting on US government secrets illegal. You should stop and think about how fundamentally this would undermine the freedom of the press and the ability of the public to know about what their government does in secret.

I'm suggesting it seriously. Our planet is already butting heads with climate disaster, and one of the more obvious problems is the sheer number of people on the planet that are creating byproducts and waste.

Given finite resources, you cannot have infinite population. So you can either restrict population growth or let it balloon out of control and deal with much worse consequences. It's not a matter of personal liberties, it's a matter of resource management. And without effective resource management, there is no personal liberty.
