Every western political dissident since 1950 has been subject to mind-altering chemical lobotomies for 'the sake of their mental health'. Anyone who pays even the slightest attention to the way dissidents are treated in the West can observe this for themselves. It is the norm to heavily medicate dissidents and those who proffer undesirable viewpoints against the powers that be - "he must be insane" is the standard repose for those having their crimes revealed.

All you have to do, is pay attention. Julian even predicted it would happen to him personally and warned us.

Look at the David Shayler case, for example. He was in the Bellmarsh brainwashing pipeline before Assange, and the same thing is happening to Julian.

My high school teacher had a very legit explanation for the meaning of “for” in that context. But I can’t remember it now. Nowadays I write it because it’s expected, not because there’s a hidden deeper meaning.
> It’s available in 20 to 120 kilowatt hour battery packs, with modular battery packs in it, and has a 700 Newton meter electric motor in it,” said Possingham.

I bet you he said Newton metre.

OT: Languages are the biggest lock-in + market barrier for others an economy has (best example is China). Great that English has got even bigger as a lingua france since the Internet started. I think every try to spread local languages is just wasted time. I am rather afraid that more tech leadership comes from China (I am looking at all the Chinese Githup repo READMEs).
True, but having some noise in the label is actually good for generalization. If it's only learned on perfectly correct sentences then its tolerance for mistakes will be very low.
I think this point is vital, and yet completely lost in the current zeitgeist. Shared foundations matter. Without them, we can't communicate effectively.
>One advantage of using GeckoView in your app instead of WebView is that you know exactly which Gecko engine version and features are available; you don't have to support old random WebView versions across different Android devices and OS versions.

Is this similar to how each Electron app uses a bundled version of Chromium (which takes up disk space), as opposed to web apps which have to run in whatever Chrome version (or other browser) the user has installed?

Firefox Focus on Android is quite a large app (132MB installed on my phone), even though on my phone, it uses either Chrome or WebView (bundled Gecko is disabled).

Further prohibiting weed could be good for driving prices on that market then.

But I agree. I looked at this as a hobbyist (no, not for weed) and thought it could be helpful since senors and hardware are currently as cheap as they are. But industrial agriculture has complete different set of problems.

Aside from that plants in general seem to be quite resilient and don't require perfectly balanced control loops. One might think so, but your room plants constantly dying is probably just due to not watering them for months.

So in the end having a few seeds and a bit of water probably beats the food truck full of tech on all levels of efficiency.

Still an interesting topic to create these environments. But perhaps not the correct approach to solve food shortages or help with problems large scale agriculture faces.
That's cool. How does it differ from tmate.io though?
I was getting really long and annoying recaptcha all the time, presumably because I use Safari which has all that anti-tracking stuff. But lately (past 2-3 months?) I only get a single challenge, I wonder if they've found a way around the protection or if they've just changed the model
If they don't keep track of which direction people come from, and that person doesn't have any paperwork, how do they know which side to tell them to go back to? What's stopping someone crossing from Canada saying "Oh, sorry, left my ID at home, I'll go back and get it, from my home, in the US, where I just came from" and then just continue into the US?

“Muslim looking guy” (what does that even mean?)

You don't have to agree with it to know what a "muslim looking guy" means. It means "someone whose looks Arabic or Persian, possibly with a beard". That's what it means. It's wrong, and it's prejudical, and in a strictly literal sense the words are inherently nonsensical, but that's what it means. I think you knew that already and for some passive-aggressive reason you're pretending you didn't.

I don't understand how the powerlines can affect to wildfires. They can put powerlines in any place or how it works?
In my country (Spain) there are laws to say exactly how much meters of free space are needed depending on what capacity has the powerline. That means that you can't build anything there and that if a powerline goes in your forestal terrain you can't plant any tree there (thats why people don't like powerlines over theirs lands).
That also does that all the forestal ground have a good number of firewalls because of the powerlines.
Hmm, never thought about it either. I'd guess a contraction of "for each value..."
"mmjaa is insane" - ah, there we go, the standard response for anyone challenged by the thought that, perhaps, they're not living in as free a society as they think - especially when all it takes to get someone chemically lobotomized, is to challenge their sanity.

Lets come back to this in a few months when there will be evidence of Assanges' torture by the UK on behalf of its masters in the USA, presented to the relevant authorities.

They are overstated. You are not building Photoshop in the browser 99% of the time. Dev productivity should have a higher prio => everything in JS and nobody needs some FE VM with bytecode (wtf, I mean when we already talk about Ember, Ember interfaces are not really the fastest one despite having their own small VM).

This is what I don't get, sticking to the past and requiring stuff which doesn't make sense.

You are not alone wondering this. I find there are less brittle more modern task runners available today, however Jenkins still has a strong hold on traditional enterprise IT systems that struggle with change. My theory is it has to do with the whole traditional break up of responsibilities between dev and operations. As more developers are taking over ops (cough devops cough) they’re quickly replacing Jenkins with systems that align well to what they’re used to (rich CLI support, rich programming support, Unix like) vs. zero programming required plugin based. So it’s not that Jenkins is necessarily bad — it just doesn’t fit in with the new crowd — although I personally think it just sucks in general and can single-handedly destroy modern CI/CD dev culture, but that’s JOPO...
I had to work with WinDEV for some time, in a French speaking environment, with every single keyword and library API translated. That was a terrible experience (I’m native French speaker).
I'm not a native speaker, but "perform this task, for i in {1,2,3}" seems to make sense as a prose. At least it does in French, when translated literally.

There's always some friction when it comes to updating translations (source: I used to have to go to church, there was much debate whether or not to replace the archaic translation with a modern version). A lot of debate is about whether the translation is correct (compared to the old version), and people read the bible so often they are used to the old translation - if the new one changes some words, or even changes the meaning (to be a more accurate translation), people get a bit antsy.

But yeah, the old translation is becoming nearly incomprehensible now; compare the King James version of the ten commandments with the new translations: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+20&versi... vs https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+20&versi...
I feel like there is no way to do this. I was once very happy when I finally got my own basement email server to work (I tried it off and on for years before often giving up), running on Arch. For some time I was the happiest person in the world, I could send emails of >100 mb to my wife, have unlimited storage, unlimited aliases (which can even go to multiple people). I could email my server and make it do things. I was using TLS (whereas me.com and hotmail.com at the time were not!), I was using the internet the way it was intended!

But then Outlook.com stopped accepting my emails, they were not even in any spam folders. Several emails later I got a response from someone at MS: We don't know how the filters work, they are black boxes to us. Sorry, try to write emails that don't look like spam...

Soon after I gave up on my server.

Your Jenkins pipeline could just be a singe step:

run 'sh ./build.sh && ./test.sh && ./deploy.sh'

We have gone for middle ground, the pipeline has a small number of discrete steps, but these steps mainly just call scripts defined besides the code within the respective repo. That way one can replay the process manually wherever needed, but we still can easily see in Jenkins where the process fails, including submitting test results to jenkins to see directly in the web-ui which tests failed.

His premise is wrong. Antidepressants treat symptoms, not the cause. And never has antidepressants been regarded as a permanent, long-term solution for depression. He doesn't seem informed.

It also doesn't inspire confidence that he made statements on their efficacy without even trying to address confounding factors (say, rising rates of depression due societal/economic conditions).

All told, it wasn't very well thought out.

Not sure what you're trying to say.

There's no inherent watt to lumen ratio for anything as far as I'm aware, but mainly, how would the other things you mention negate the fact that cool/warm colors are indeed flipped compared to temp?

You're saying blue, having higher energy and matching red with fewer photons, makes sense to describe as cooler because it can put in less effort?

Definitely haven't heard that one before.

You're right; the main way that the bible (and by extension religion) is important in this regard is that it's survived, in various forms, for as long as it has. I kinda believe you need a religion to preserve knowledge and wisdom like this for so long.

I mean tangentially related, a while ago there was an article about how to safeguard nuclear waste storage for the next 100.000 years; one suggestion was to create a religion around it and its preservation. Something that can survive an intellectual step backwards. (Not unheard of; see the Greek and Roman societies of old. Their knowledge was lost for a long time, but Christianity survived. Of course their knowledge getting lost may be related to the rise of Christian religions as well)

> No matter how discreet you are about it, when your choices implicitly condemn the majority's values, they won't let it go.

Weird. I've lived vegan for more than a decade and I've never had anyone say more than "oh okay" when I tell them in response to something like "you should try the steak, it's really good". Important to say that I didn't care if they ate the steak, I didn't argue with them, tell them what to do or ask for praise of my superior lifestyle.
Could it really be anything else? I always assumed that was the obvious intention there. Never crossed my mind that it could mean anything too different.
A localized language would only "fix" the keywords, and all the libraries (most made by third parties) would be even more difficult to learn/interpret - because if they wouldn't be in English, they likely would not be in your language, they'd be in someone else's non-English language.
What's the new hotness that people are replacing it with?
I hear you. I forget the control schemes as well, whether they are keyboard or controller.

But the thing about those is that they are 'hidden' and require memoization. There is no on-game HUD that would show legend of all the available actions all the time. If you could have that, then people would be much more comfortable about even the hidden schemes.

There are game UI:s that are mostly mouse operated, and expose the user interaction grammar using the game specific, visual UI narrative. My kids seem fine navigating between those. A great example is Roblox, which has lot of "controller heavy" games where there are custom UI:s for building and configuring lots of things.

There are no guidelines that the authors defer to, but, they organically try to make the UI:s as understandable as possible. Most of the time they copy established conventions anyway, and when they don't either the UI is still understandable or no-one will play the game.
I've had multiple legitimate emails from Google employees and their sales teams all end up in my Gmail spam folder, even from senior members of various divisions.

Obesity is not specifically caused by "lack of self-control". American diets and food ingredients have changed dramatically over the last few decades and that has a major impact.

Naturally if you're making an effort to eat using organic/locally-grown ingredients (if not stuff you grew yourself), you're not going to be impacted by that.
do these include letters written today by american soldiers in middle east?
yes, I guess comparing with the de-facto standard solution (cmake) would be more beneficial.
Regarding the type of errors, it seems like the benchmark should be able to take that into account. That is, get a load of humans to do the task on the same specific examples, then for each example you know how hard it is, and what acceptable answers are (I bet a lot of the ground truth is wrong or ambiguous).

Then you can benchmark your AI but penalise it more heavily for getting things wrong that are obvious to a human.

>What I wanted was an independent account of the hearing. ... Where are their reports?

Indeed, the silence is deafening. Why do you think nobody else in Western media would be reporting on their observations of Assange during this hearing?

The reason is, this whole legal process is a farce. Assange has been chemically lobotomized, and will not get a fair trial - because he is now in the hands of the very people whose crimes against humanity he was dedicated to exposing.

Nevertheless, there will be more leaks, and there will be more actions taken against warmongers and criminals who think they are invincible. There is a big package of justice coming their way...

Peer pressure is stronger, that’s why it’s important. Sure, it’s evolutionarily adapted to benefit the group, which may sometimes go against your individual interests. Overall, however, you just have to look at the results to see whether a deracinated society of people acting individually ends up better off than a community of people looking out for each other.

Look at my reply above. Maybe you are succeeding at resisting corporate and mass media programming, but the vast majority of people are failing miserably, and it’s lead to a society of people who are childless, more obese, more depressed, and have fewer friends they can confide in.

I’d personally sacrifice a bit of my individual autonomy to live in a more functional society.

Flying cars won't become the norm, because too many people lack the cognitive traits and skills required to fly a vehicle.

I'm being charitable with my words. From cradle to grave, the overwhelming majority of people you interact with every day are too unreliable to entrust with flying vehicles. From childhood, to adulthood, to old age, most people would not, should not, could not perform well as pilots of flying vehicles. They don't have it in them.

So, this being HN, let's break out the tool box filled with buzzwords. Flying cars, after all, are just another nail, and we have plenty of software hammers to hit it with.

Hey! I know, what about machine learning? AI! Self driving cars that can fly!

One thing missing from that equation is faith in the software development life cycle, and a belief that we can engineer life saving systems, like drawing water from a faucet. Eh, not so much.

This clearly demonstrates once again that Google is miles ahead of the competition in AI. I mean, they just have the best data.

When using multiple languages at the same time the leap to other keyboards gets even bigger.

GBoard is my phone's killer app and if Google dropped it for iOS I'd left the same day to Android.

They're quite different things, they're just (ab)using the "OpenID" name for brand recognition.
