City skyline animation generated with Rule 30 and JavaScript
i am not familiar with fstar. But I will try to provide some context badly so someone who does know it can correct me.

Javascript is dynamically typed, and so has no type checking until runtime, you don't know whether a passed in parameter is a string or not until you try to use it.

C# is statically typed, so the compiler knows whether something is a string when passed in at compile time, not making you wait until runtime.

Ocaml/F# have a stronger type system than c#, so you get the compiler looking for you not only that something is a string, but that it is a named type like fifteenString, which is a string with a length of always 15 characters.

F* takes this even further, where the compiler checks for you that you've passed in a fifteenString and that it matches criteria in its value like "starts with hello" or "does not contain bye".

C# saves you from needing to check if a param is even a astring at runtime.

F# additionally saves you from needing to check if it is null and 15 characters in length at runtime.

F* additionally saves you needing to check its value starts with hello at runtime.

Again this is a single language feature probably poorly explained!
Did Julian Assange commit his alleged crimes while in the US?

This scenario is more like person who's never left B gets shipped off to C because he said something C didn't like.
If you imagine Assange's "hacking" taking place with physical objects, the charge looks ridiculous.

In short, Manning told Assange she could access a military filing cabinet, and was going to go remove all the documents in them to leak to Assange. Before leaving, she asked Assange if he had some gloves to hide her fingerprints. He said he'd check, and Manning left to grab the documents.

Would you consider Assange's actions there to cross the line of journalism?
> I still wonder what the CIA must have done to get those Swedish prosecutors to spin all of that bullshit for the original arrest warrant.

What would it take to convince you this didn't actually happen? It still doesn't make legal sense - Obama's DOJ publicly declined to charge him given the evidence, and extradition from Sweden would still have required extradition from the UK since he would've been serving time in both countries.

Assange never got charged by the US administration he actually embarassed, successfully jumped bail, waited out the clock on the rape charges, and finally got his extradition denied. It seems to me he got everything he wanted out of this - he just wasn't careful what he wished for.

I actually think part of it is more to do with people with money trying to buy the experience of art and culture rather than the product itself. As a pro musician I experienced that. Wealthy people want to hang out with the band, and get access and "rough it a bit" sometimes. It does result in artists getting paid, but often it results in people buying expensive coffee while looking at art, buying a slighter nicer house near the artists...

It's hard to describe but my anecdotal first hand experience includes plenty of rich tourists hanging around the emerging cultural hubs. I sincerely think the money goes into feeling cool rather than fueling the art economy, it's the surrounding bars, restaurants and cafes (and property developers) that end up making the big money. As mentioned elsewhere - the artists end up gone, the soul of the place eventually goes, and they end up with those weird soulless expensive places that used to be poor and full of artists.
The ruling has nothing to do with freedom of expression.
If the judge wouldn't think Assange is suicidal, he would be extradicted.
Good for them. I work for a large company and am a member of the union. While they're not perfect they're very constructive and provide a lot of benefits to all employees, and also to the company itself.

Compensation has become very complex over the years. While most people understand their pay the rest is usually where employers cheap out, things like insurance, sick pay, long-term provider care, pension contribution, tend to be worse for my friends who also work in IT but in non-unionized workforce.

I understand that in the US unions are often seen as a burden, rather than a constructive partner, so I hope this one will help to improve the image of all unions as well as improve live of Googlers.

> That seems like the line of argument you could employ to deny every extradition to the US then.

While it doesn't quite go that far, it is pretty common for extradition from Europe to the US to be blocked for this reason.

Arguably, given how common solitary confinement is in the US, all extradition to the US should be abandoned.

> denying on something you are certain it is going to be reversed on appeal

Why would you think it would be reversed? It's fairly common to refuse extradition where the subject would be at significant risk of being abused/tortured/executed.
That wasn't how I read it. I think it meant $1000 to an individual and next month different individuals will also receive $1000.
Why? Many successful companies are fully unionised. How many people creating content at Disney do you think are card carrying members of a union (the answer: nearly all of them).
Yes, as soon his health gets better they can go on with the extradition.
I don't understand unions. If they don't like certain behaviors that are legal like selling to government or paying high salaries, why are they working there in the first place? Just quit. Different people like different things, so go work somewhere that suits you.
True, and the latter is indeed what I was referring to. This looks like it does the same thing as Facebook's (train a neural net to infer depth from image contents) but it actually works fairly well.

Ask HN: Are software engineers unsuited to creating an MVP and lead a startup?
Professional software engineers have deep rooted need to run agile processes, CICD deployment pipelines, Docker based infrastructure, test suites with code coverage, Jira ticketing, documentation etc.

Why? Because that’s exactly what they DO. All this stuff is what professional software engineering IS.

Professional software engineering isn’t writing and application, it’s driving a process, of which one part is coding.

Perhaps the professional software engineer is exactly the wrong person to lead a startup and create an MVP?

Perhaps instead what’s needed is just a hack coder who throws it together?

Maybe founders seeking to find someone to build their application should avoid the software engineer.

This still qualifies as an MVP and is where the confusion arises in my opinion.

The minimally viable solution will differ depending on the product and market.

If you're entering an entirely green market that is just dying for a solution, a ramshackle MVP held together by cardboard and string might be appropriate.

If you're entering a crowded market, you'll be competing on product or price and what's minimally viable will be somewhat different.

We only tend to hear about the former as that's generally where the biggest opportunities exist, so it's more exciting and makes better reading material. However, if you've 'outsourced' your product market fit to the competition and your aim isn't to be first, but the best, your MVP will necessarily be of higher quality.

The point of unions is that individual workers can be easily screwed over with no repercussions for the company because of the power differential between companies and their workers. Unions seek to level the field a little bit by giving the workers collective bargaining power which allows them to secure better pay/benefits/influence the direction the company is going. When they work it is a very rational arrangement for the workers, so companies tend to not like them as it decreases their power over their workers.

> Well then it becomes a question of attribution. How do you with a finite amount of dollars to spend on advertising know if you are getting your money's worth when you cannot connect a dollar spent on ad with incoming revenue?

The problem with attribution is that it's entirely flawed. Just compare what Google Analytics reports for a campaign vs what Facebook is reporting for the same thing. They'll give you different results and in most cases you probably shouldn't trust either.

BUT, what they do is provide an easily accessible number that you can show your boss to show you had results. This is massively flawed but most marketers don't understand the mechanics of advertising or tracking well enough to understand why they're reporting garbage data.
X11 has a strong reference implementation hence there should be no need for a fallback. If you really would want to launch a program which needs the new protocol on an old/outdated server for whatever reason you could use a wrapper like Xephyr/Xnest as fallback.
(Besides, Xorg already has many optional extensions and if one of those extensions is not present the program simply fails to launch. The fallback problem has not been a real problem so far because X11 development is very centralized.)
The point of an extradition treaty is surely that lawmakers have concluded the two systems participating are reasonably close to allow for extradition in the first place. It is then not the place of a judge to decide otherwise.

There are exemptions such as no extradition when the conduct isn't illegal in the extraditing country, but as you mention: if you consider solitary confinement torture, there is no reason to approve of any extradition to the US anymore.

No. If anything, this is more down to the Human Rights Act (the UK implementation of the ECHR). Some particularly extreme Brexiters have advocated revoking the Human Rights Act (as a member of the EU the UK was required to actually implement the ECHR, but as a non-member it could just pay lip-service, like Russia does), but that hasn't happened as yet (and hopefully never will).
The difference is that the password works as a shortcut for situations where the email approach adds lots of friction (working on a "guest" device, latency, the entire world spam countermeasures). Friction is very much acceptable for password recovery (arguably even desirable), but not so much for conventional login.

A nice middle ground would be allowing to opt out of passwords, for people who are happy with the combination of device token plus email OTP. This would work even better if device tokens were not binned with all those junk cookies: I think it could be valuable to have a class of "qualified cookies" that can only be written on user prompt and have reads optionally protected by additional local authentication requirements (configured on the user prompt), basically something that sits right in the middle between the streaming heap of cookies a browser stores and the browser's password store that allegedly nobody uses. I believe that this could be a major win for web privacy, "delete all cookies except for those which the store considered important enough to depend on a user prompt" (obviously, the client needs to include a "pretend to store, but actually keep only for the session" option to prevent abuse)

You could almost implement this for a site already using the web storage API, except for the unclear client prompts and lack of fine-grained tying into additional client side authentication measures (e.g. like how you might want a password manager to maintain very different master key freshness requirements for different entries)

When I talk to colleagues in tech about unions I hear a lot of misconceptions, seemingly based in stereotypes about what unions are for and who they serve. People often seem to think of unions as being purely blue-collar operations, and this just isn't true.

For example, I've had people tell me that they don't support unions in tech because they'll be "paid less", or less competent engineers will be promoted faster.

And it's strange, because the other major industry in California - the film industry - is heavily unionised, and you just don't see that happening there. You have vocally supportive multi-millionaire card-carrying members of the Screen Actors Guild, the Writers Guild, and the Directors Guild to name a few. None of these unions are limiting the work their members are carrying out.

This is because those unions are serving a very different purpose to the stereotypical union some engineers seem to fear. SAG, the DGA, and the WGA aren't guaranteeing hours or limiting pay: they're simply trying to curb abuse in what it a very abusive industry, and putting in place procedures to protect members and resolve grievances.

And they don't always get it right, and I don't pretend that Hollywood is a perfect utopia of worker relations, but I think it's pretty undeniable that the industry is a much better place with the unions around.

Practically all unions in Norway work that way. Benefit of not having the union tied to the employers:

- Not too tight with any particular company, helps keep the workers rights in focus

- Continuity when switching employeers
