Sure, "the truth to the cold light of day".

The point of it is being able to choose what truth to publish, with what context, and when.

The instructive case being the Podesta e-mails, being acquired by Russian intelligence (aka Fancy Bear) and released through WikiLeaks in the month before the 2016 election, controlling the news-cycle by staggering the releases.
Because git reset --hard is kinda dangerous, I've resorted to managing my changes with other safer commands. I undo changes with git checkout. Sometimes I stash and forget.

I only use git reset --hard when I have accidentally committed something to an incorrect branch and I want to reset that branch to point to a specific commit after creating another branch.

I strive for perfection in other areas of my like as well. :)
I think some search/browse filters could be incredibly useful too. For example, I'd be interested in a split between recommendations by founders running on VC money versus those growing a more organic business, such as Basecamp perhaps. Or maybe those working on open source products, like Gitlab, compared to closed source cloud based offerings.

I imagine that there could be interesting things to learn through comparing the books recommended through such filtering.
Read that quote extract again—"If you like to tinker with your own system"—that is clearly saying to the distro developer to understand the distinction between your personal preferences and what you might distribute to others.

If the letter was aimed at end users, that qualifier would have been redundant. Therefore the letter is not aimed at end users.
React still has a "component lifecycle" -- it's just with hooks the way you interact with that lifecycle is different [1].

> Hooks are a more direct way to use the React features you already know — such as state, lifecycle, context, and refs. They don’t fundamentally change how React works, and your knowledge of components, props, and top-down data flow is just as relevant.

And if you like functional components, VueJS has them as well [2]

Similarly, your private Facebook posts are already compromised.

What the court does is muddy the distinction between a theoretical reasonable expectation of privacy and the actual expectation of privacy resulting from how things currently are.

As in, I expect conversations in my car to be private, but if all cars had microphones with cell connections my government would argue that I can't expect privacy because clearly my environment already has privacy-compromising features. [0]

> When the US Army fought the Nazis and imperial Japan, were they “promoting violence against civilians to further their causes”?

I don't think you can say the US Army is promoting any violence against civilians, but it is harming civilians, even though it's not promoting that.

Copy-pasting from a previous comment (made by me):

> Here is a list of engagements: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_United_States_mili...

> Taking "2017 Shayrat missile strike" as a random example (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Shayrat_missile_strike) shows that specific mission had at least 9 civilian casualties.

> So even if not intended, the US army are in fact using violence against civilians (like probably most armies in the world)

I think that the DoM/html style nested-tree-of-objects system actually works pretty okay, that flexbox is a pretty good way of laying objects out, and that "web components" are a pretty good idea.

I'd use capnproto to expose a simplified "DoM" set of interfaces for manipulating a scene-graph of objects. This would be vastly simplified over what the web provides, and the main way of laying objects out would be flexbox-derived.

I'd name all the colors in my theme, probably following bootstraps example of (primary secondary success danger warning info). Semantic names that tell you what the color should be used for, instead of saying (red green blue whatever).
> WordPress was one of the most visible early proponent of WYSIWYG, but others joined.

I added inline editing to Surreal CMS back in 2013, but obviously it’s not a well-known brand (the keyword is “visible” I guess).

People love inline editing, especially non-devs. When you abstract content into forms or markdown you often end up with results that look different from what you intended. I get feedback from new users weekly about how easy inline editing is for them.

Fortunately, TinyMCE, CKEditor, ProseMirror, et al all support it and the trend is finally shifting. But as a developer, I can attest that inline editing isn’t easy to get right — even when the underlying lib supports it.

I suspect that’s why we still see forms for content in CMSs.

Your comment reminds me of this one from 2012, spoken with utter confidence at the time:

> Your comment again puts forward the idea that the political forces aligned against Assange are so great that no amount of critical thinking, due process, or countervailing concern for the rights of victims can apply: it is, to use your word, "obvious" that the case isn't about "rape", but about an undocumented (and undisclosed) but nevertheless clear and immediate effort to haul Assange to the US and try him with espionage. No court in Europe seems to view the situation that way.

Really good read. So true that most 'innovation' is really a lot of tedious work most people don't bother doing. That is in sharp contrast to the 'Eurika!' moment that most people think of. There may never be a eurika moment, just a bunch of small insights put together into a body of work.
I use QPDF too. Specifically its QDF mode. Essentially it tries to make the document as human-editable as possible. There's also a fix-qdf utility that fixes the values of offsets at the end of the file, so that you need not be careful not to change file size while editing.

Right to repair goes beyond the physical design of the phone. It has to do with purposely misleading customers to the 3rd party options they have available that would prevent them from having to outright replace the whole device (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K98JYRBGyrg). And preventing the import of refurbished parts for devices they no longer support (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYgdtEsl_0c)
No, you're the one conflating the two. The end result is different. For imperialism, the result is a country under the political control of a different country, or giving up its resources to another country. The end result with U.S. policy is that maybe you end up with a different (often more democratic) regime. The means is similar: foreign military excursions and direct interventions into other countries.
Here are the main points of the indictment:

a. They assert that he is not a journalist, and therefore cannot be protected by the first amendment.

b. They limited the indictment to the publication of papers that contained unredacted names of people who were put in danger by the publication of their names (this is important to their argument against him being a journalist).

c. They include conspiracy charges for his direct aid to Manning in hacking DOD computers (providing a live CD, instructing on how to use the tools, tech support, etc).

d. They were too slow in bringing the charges, and are past the 5 year statute of limitations on federal crimes. Because of this, their only hope of success is to upgrade the charges to "acts of terrorism transcending national boundaries", which has an 8 year statute of limitations instead of the normal 5.

The hurdles they must pass in order to succeed in this prosecution are:

1. They must successfully argue that he is not a journalist, or was not acting as a journalist at the time.

2. They must argue that the federal crimes he's accused of also constitute an act of terrorism under section 2332b (which gives the test in subsection (g)(5): "is calculated to influence or affect the conduct of government by intimidation or coercion, or to retaliate against government conduct") in order for the indictment to be valid under an 8 year statute of limitations rather than 5.

3. They must also argue the statute of limitations clause in the UK in order to successfully extradite Assange (with a possible second chance via Sweden).

This could very well blow up in the DOJ's face if the courts side with Assange, because there's a good chance that it will further gut the espionage act, which is likely the main reason why the Obama administration didn't bother even when they had a stronger position of not needing to tack on terrorism charges.

Speaking as a producer who's programmed a lot of natural-sounding drum tracks...

There are plenty of variables other than velocity -- location on the drum head being the prime one, but there are others. Because of this, sampling an acoustic drum kit involves capturing a suitable number of random variations, and the end result is often gigabytes (i.e. hours of content) in size, even though each sampled hit is just a few seconds long. Not having enough variation in your sample set makes the programmed drums sounds unnatural, since excessive repetition doesn't gel with how we experience acoustic drums.

Certain variables are more important than others, though. One notable sound is the 'rim shot' which means striking the drum head and rim simultaneously, which causes all kinds of constructive interference and results in a very powerful sound. It's the holy grail of rock drumming. In drum programming, rim shots are often a separate stack of samples with its own velocity layers, each layer with a set of random variations.
Assange a russian asset?

Why is he not in russia then?
For plausability he let himself being locked in for years? Being the selfish narcisst that he is? Not likely.

Assange is a kind of internet-anarchist. He published some kind of manifest a while ago. Crypto-anarchism. Basically the idea (if memory serves right) that people need crypto etc. to balance the power with total governments.

So he really is not a supporter of the russian government, except maybe as a counter to the US. He hates the US as super power number one, so thats why he might accepted help from the enemies of his enemy, but Wikileaks also published documents about russia.
The idea of compelling an AI to testify in court is fascinating. I wonder if there could eventually be a civil case about this.
Meaning isn't binary and "system-search" could mean many different subtly different things depending on the application and the context. Often the choice of icon requires context that factors in the specific iconography.

For example, what happens when there's system searching element that needs to be in visual proximity to a magnification, zooming or loupe-inspection element? It's impossible to know if an icon theme is going to maintain consistency and/or disambiguity with the default theme.

Yes that she was an agent at the time. But no that she had access to those materials. There are various levels of government access. Even if documents are marked "secret" and you have secret clearance if you don't have the passwords you don't have access. And actually in government sometimes you do have the passwords and still don't have granted access. Any tampering with a computer to gain access you didn't have approval for from your supervisors is considered hacking. Yes it's an internal IT violation, but at a government office which makes it a government offense. I hope that makes sense. It's not like a normal company where you get repercussion from that entity alone at these sorts of government orgs.

Technically I'm using Algolia to sort/filter these so doing something like this should be easy. Something like a hidden attribute that when searched for sorts the list, for example by searching for a term like "bootstrapped" or "remote" you'd get books or founders tagged with these attributes.
> Misrepresented occurrences such as this are used to energise lies that have bubbled around in the far reaches of the internet for a while, waiting for their moment.

You don't need to wait for the Internet, most large media groups are propaganda tools for their own political side. No need to do any "deep fake", "selective editing" is all that's needed to take things out of context and publish a different narrative based on what you want to portray.

Now the question is, what do we do about propaganda, regardless of the medium?
> This is more of an indictment of the way GTK3+ handles theming (or lack of it).

How do you think GTK+3 handles theming (or lacks handling for it)? It sounds like you're confusing GTK+3 theming for GTK+2 theming (which was based on "engines", which were quite a mess). Now it's very "proper and defined", it's accomplished with a strict subset of CSS which has fairly consistent behaviour.

I personally don't see the point in elaborate theming systems (I'd prefer to just have control over the colours, and maybe one or two of the spacing variables), and it is obvious that they cost a lot of cycles at run time....

but GTK+3's theming system is not braindead, it's just ambitious.
> shady

There's no "shade" here. It's straight up criminal. He got phished, deliberately, via a targetted human engineering operation. Again I just don't understand the desire to hide the underlying crime here.

It's possible to be very uneasy with the direct prosecution of Assange for this stuff, to view Manning as having been unfairly targetted, but to also recognize that there's a really serious underlying crime here that we need to address.

But no, everyone wants to pick sides here and stand with... Putin. Seriously?

"Google can scan users' Gmails to see what items they bought," he said. "That is why Amazon removed the list of products from order confirmation emails and require the user to click and login to Amazon to see the order details.

Does Google do that? If so, only for a limited set of email senders, or globally? Would they, for example, read email sent between doctors and patients?

Ah, capability to feed, health care, etc., yes. We should be in a post-scarcity civilization with respect to basic needs. I seem to recall reading studies though that showed on a per-dollar basis, it was much better in the long term to boost the local economy rather than just give handouts in the form of food aid etc. However, my thought in response to that has always been that it frames the situation as though there were a choice between the two. My thinking is that if people are living in misery, poverty, disease, and death, why make this a choice? We can do both. It's a multi-decade project, but not intractable. It's also probably hopelessly optimistic, but I'm okay with failures that move the ball forward a bit.

It’s not that the balance of power was convenient is that a major disturbance in it could’ve been deadly.

That would be pretty solid evidence that the Russians are releasing information to the public, but the fact that they used Wikileaks doesn't support anything. There are a lot of ways to release information -particularly if the information happens to be true.

On a strictly irrelevant note, but because I don't like passively accepting premises I disagree with...

And the idea that the Russians extracted and released those emails is still fishy - if the Democrats win a batch of elections then Russia is going to start looking really stupid. It isn't impossible that the US intelligence services are wrong in their accusations, simply because as plots go it is a totally stupid one. It doesn't make any sense unless considered in context of only 1 election cycle.

If Russia had a magic button to decide elections, the DNC and RNC would have found it too by now. It is much more likely the actions of a rogue troublemaker, not acting on specific instructions to do what he did. Even if he was affiliated with the Russians.
