The UK could have looked at the evidence and decided it wasn’t a crime according to UK law and hence he shouldn’t be extradited. I haven’t looked at the evidence for a while, but last I checked I didn’t even understand how his actions were a crime according to US law.

So yeah the UK has leeway here. Why pretend otherwise?

edit: Why would I receive downvotes for this?

Extradition hearing

"""

The extradition hearing before the District Judge is where most of the issues in the case are decided. The CPS will represent the requesting State in the proceedings.

The judge must be satisfied that the conduct amounts to an extradition offence (dual criminality), that there is prima facie evidence of guilt (where applicable and in accusation cases), and that none of the bars to extradition apply, including that extradition would not breach the person’s human rights.

"""

The judge could both not believe that dual criminality is satisfied and could also believe the supposed evidence isn't good enough.

This one surprised all of us on the Citus dev team, when we were reviewing what we were open sourcing. This "feature" was never intended to be Enterprise only and not having it in the open source repo was simply an honest mistake. If some open source user had asked for it I'm certain we would have also added it to the open source version. But so far no-one asked.

At least this mistake is resolved now, and no new ones like it should occur, since we will only commit to the open source repo now.

Afaik much JS these days is optimised, see things like V8's turbofan https://v8.dev/blog/turbofan-jit

However there is definitely still less intrinsic optimisation from a dev perspective I think - people will iterate over the same array multiple times in different places rather than do it once.

I guess our industry has decided moving faster is better than running faster for a lot of stuff.
Interestingly this is exactly the line of reasoning arch-privatiser Margaret Thatcher gave in her speeches on the subject, she claimed privatisation put nationalised industries in the hands of the public because anyone could buy shares in these industries which were hitherto limited to an out-of-touch government elite, while her ideological opponents (retroactively known as 'Old Labour') made the argument that nationalisation was putting those industries in the hands of the people because they were run by the democratically elected state rather than an out-of-touch corporate elite.

Personally I lean towards Thatcher having done more harm than good, while the British government absolutely did have nationalised industries that were inefficient and needed to be wound down or at least heavily reformed (coal mining and the nationalised car company British Leyland being the prime examples) the way her government just cut down whole communities at the knees was wanton and unreasonable. Rail privatisation in the UK has been a failure too, our system is much more expensive and less reliable than nationalised Continental equivalents to the point it's cheaper to fly from London to Newcastle via Barcelona than it is to take the train, which is fairly likely to be cancelled without reason five minutes before it's due anyway. Even without the economics, the negative environmental effects of this situation are too obvious to mention!

I don't know why so many people insist on absolutism for either position though, the position that natural monopolies and strategic national assets (like nuclear power stations for example) should be nationalised and other industries should be privatised isn't unreasonable.

Fire rated doors need the correct fire tested locks.

This includes analogue locks. Most locks would not be. You can't/shouldn't put any lock, analogue or electronic on an apartment door.

You can of course get fire rated electronic locks.

This is not the electronic bit. It's about the quality of the locking mechanism and how it goes in the fire testing furnace.

The JVM is a real beast, which makes sense as a good chunk of the whole internet runs on top of it (almost every big corp has plenty of infrastructure running Java), so it had plenty of engineering time poured into it.

Regarding concurrency, I wouldn’t choose existing reactive frameworks and what not for a new system. Java will soon get Project Loom, which will introduce Go-like virtual threads - so that one can write a web server that spawns a new thread for each request as well. Since the Java ecosystem is very purely written almost exclusively in Java itself (no FFI), basically everything will turn automagically non-blocking.
Several commentators have observed we have to overcome any petty dislike of Assange the man, and focus on how truly awful this outcome will be for a free press and political journalism.

Some businesses cannot afford to optimize the code because the requirements are kept changing/unclear. Any attempts to optimize will be obsolete in some years.

Nice tricks! I never did much with soft-sprites on any platform really.

One C64 game I worked upon did a bunch of interesting similar kinds of tricks — flips in both axis, plus the stored graphics only used a partial area of the h/w sprite, so I could pack the graphics in advance, and copy them out every frame at runtime — but only for the main character sprite.

My first 'proper' C64 dev environment was actually a BBC B, as I mentioned in another reply — almost identical setup to yours, but without the hard disk. A much better setup than just working on a single machine! After that, we used PCs with PDS cards.
Thanks, that makes sense. I couldn't care less about prestige and don't consider Amazon to even be prestigious.. it's just that there are not a lot of companies that pay well where I live.

Whatsapp use to use IMEI reversed and md5 hashed as its password on Android (username was the users telephone number) - on iPhone they used a MAC address. I brought it up as a security concern back in 2012.

It would not surprise me if some apps still use IMEI (or MAC address) for similar purposes…
Not at all, there only needs to exist enough low level primitives (aka compiler intrisics) to build the whole stack.

That is how Lisp Machines and Xerox PARC workstation OSes used to be built, or Mirage OS for a more recent example.

And I do consider Lisp functional, since when I reached university, the options were Lisp dialects, Mirada was fresh, Standard ML and Caml Light were rather new.

There was yet to appear the mentality that OCaml / Haskell === FP.
The weakness isn’t the array itself but the cable(s) transporting the energy to where it needs to be consumed.

> You're not getting a result in less than 20 cycles basically

But the end of the pipeline is an arbitrary point. It will take a few more cycles to get to L1 (when it makes it out of the write buffer), a few tens more to traverse the L2 and L3 and hundreds to get to RAM (if it gets there at all). If it has to get to an human it will take thousands of cycles to get through the various busses to a screen or similar.

The only reasonably useful latency measure is what it takes for the value to be ready to be consumed by the next instruction, which is indeed 3-5 cycles depending to the specific microarchitecture.

Here’s a wonderful series of comments on Aztec culture and thought, here on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19060487

The post and discussion recommend the book Aztecs – An Interpretation by Inga Clendinnen: https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9781107589094#fndtn-information

It’s a captivating book. Truly.

From the Cambridge Books site:

Book description:

In 1521, the city of Tenochtitlan, magnificent centre of the Aztec empire, fell to the Spaniards and their Indian allies. Inga Clendinnen's account of the Aztecs recreates the culture of that city in its last unthreatened years. It provides a vividly dramatic analysis of Aztec ceremony as performance art, binding the key experiences and concerns of social existence in the late imperial city to the mannered violence of their ritual killings.

Reviews

'… a fascinating, thought-provoking book. Aztecs offers a gripping account of an alien society and thus enlarges our apprehension of the sheer diversity of human culture.'

'This is an outstanding book …'

An svn copy is just a link. It has always been a "free" operation (and yes, the analogy would be to a symlink).
I'm not aware of any version of svn that behaved the way you described and I've used it for a couple of decades.

I can perhaps imagine a large repo plus a broken svn client requiring checking out unneeded portions of trees to do a copy, but no client I've used works like that.

Hm. Another theory. Perhaps someone who knew nothing about svn and was using TortoiseSVN's Windows file manager integration was doing a Windows file manager copy, then checking that in as a "branch" with the only link being the commit message instead of using svn's copy which is free and properly links content. That would indeed be an expensive operation, and the wrong thing to do.

Reading through those I couldn’t actually find any banks that had evidence of liquidity issues. And the longest I saw for the fdic to get depositors access to their funds was the weekend.

Most of them don’t even tap FDIC insurance they just hand the depositors over to a different bank.
I may be misreading, but there are several non sequiturs there. Pulled offers suck, but no one owes anything before they sign a contract. There is a level of opportunity cost, but that's not the same thing. Signed offers are getting a month's salary I think, which again reduces it to opportunity cost rather than loss of wealth.

People being laid off is not lost wealth.

Speculative value is not wealth.

"Billions locked up" requires an explanation. People with money generally invest it in assets or other companies. Who is locking up billions? Why? Is it a meaningful % of the total money supply?
> I feel like we are destroying our planet, destroying our economy, we make poor people poorer, stir political extremes, we alienate the younger generation with social medias, there is war in Europe, everything is about politics when it should be about science and people...

This is an easy trap to fall into (even though most of it is factually untrue, or otherwise not interesting...war in europe is like a fact of life, for instance). And as others have said, this line is indicative of some deeper/broader issues than worrying about money during a down economy.
The point about pandas resonates with me.

Don't get me wrong, pandas is a nice library ... but the odd thing is, numpy already has, like, 99% of that functionality built in in the form of structured arrays and records, is super-optimised under the hood, and it's just that nobody uses it or knows anything about it. Most people will have never heard of it.

To me pandas seems to be the sort of library that because popular because it mimics the interface of a popular library from another language that people wanted to migrate to (namely dataframes from R), but that's about it.

Compounding this, is that, it is now becoming an effective library to do things, even if backward, because the network effect means that people are building stuff to work on top of pandas, rather than on top of numpy.

The only times I've had to use pandas in my personal projects was either:

a) when I needed a library that 'used pandas rather than numpy' to hijack a function I couldn't care writing by myself (most recently seaborn heatmaps, and exponentially weighted averages - both relatively trivial things to do with pure numpy, and probably faster, but, eh. Leftpad mentality etc ...)

b) when I knew I'd have to share the code with people who would then be looking for the pandas stuff.

I'm probably wrong, but ...
I have no time to be anxious.
I have a job to do, family to feed and a career to build.

Really, if you find time to reflect on your anxiousness — consider yourself in a very privileged situation.
The deceptive thing about anxiety is that it leads you to believe you can do something to change an outcome. Even if that was true, the fear behind anxiety leads to despair and mistakes and ultimately tragedy. Having reasonable concern and making the best decision you can is good but anxiety is a force that pulls you so that your concern is beyond reason and your decisions less than ideal.

This general kind of idea makes me feel like I'm missing a pretty important part of the experience of language, à la

https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/03/17/what-universal-human-e...

To me, assisted suicide is the term of art. It's been used throughout my entire lifetime to refer to a responsible form of self administered euthanasia. To me there is zero ambiguity with the term, and it is never used to refer to cases of suicide where a mentally ill person (but physically healthy) person is helped to kill themselves. When I read this bigram, there is no ugly connotation for me.

But it seems like many people have a more emotional experience of language where individual words and even subwords can elicit unpleasant emotional experiences, even in unrelated contexts. And I think this can be hard to emphasize with for the highly analytical-minded typical HN reader.

Does anyone know of any brain imaging research done in this area? Can anyone explain the apparent rise in this sort of thing (without mentioning critical theory)?
My guess: We run into problems here in the Netherlands now that everybody with solar panels is producing huge amounts of power around noon... And the grid can hardly take it anymore (sometimes people can't push the power to the grid anymore even). We can't store it, and most people don't have smart devices that can start (like laundry) based on power production.

That problem should first be solved.

Edit: In some provinces we can now neither build more power plants nor add any larger industries because the grid can simply not take it. I guess decentralization is key. For myself I'm looking into a small EV that is usually at home and can be charged during the day. But this only works when the car is at home during day time. Another pro-wfh argument ;). Electric scooters (max 45 kph), electric bikes (max 25 kph) and "speed pedeleces" (max 45 kph, they are in between scooters and bikes [0]) are also becoming really poplar here, they use comparatively little, but it's nice when they replace cars.
