I don't understand all of these people suggesting that once Assange is in international waters he is somehow safe.

The US will just stop the Ecuadoran vessel, board it, and take Assange. We've got historic precedent for their lack of Give a Fuck in situations of this nature.
The survey behind this reminds me a lot of those internet "what's your political alignment" polls that go around from time, where you always end up discovering that you're a Libertarian.

Take a quick spin through the questions and look at how they're worded. It's no surprise that the results point to "Software Liberal". I don't doubt that you could spend a few minutes rewriting the quiz in such a way that the overwhelming majority of participants ends up on the other end of the scale.

Arrays and pointers are completely different entities in C. The only reason people think there's any sort of equivalence is because:

1. The "array indexing operator" [] actually works only on pointers.

2. Arrays are automatically converted to a pointer to the first array element whenever necessary.

3. Arrays are really uncommon in C, and many things we think of as arrays are not arrays as C considers them. Declare a function parameter with []? That's a pointer, not an array. Malloc a bunch of memory? Not an array.

I learned BASIC, then Pascal, then C. I had a terrible time understanding pointers, until one day it clicked, and ever since that point I have a terrible time understanding how anyone could not understand pointers.

I don't think having difficulty understanding pointers is anything new. I was struggling with them in the early 90s, and there was plenty of literature out there talking about how to understand them and how people had trouble with them. But I can't help you understand why people have trouble, because I don't know myself.
I'm not a lawyer and cannot comment on the validity of the lawsuit nor the law concerning this; but as a designer I can say that neither site has an original design in any way.

It's important to see that these aren't mutually exclusive, even though they sound quite contrary. On the one hand you have the hack -- the one-off prototype thrown together simply to verify what can or can't be done. On the other hand you have the design -- once you know what perspective is best, to build the system from that perspective and validate that your intuitions are building one coherent whole.

Kay's Law is that the right perspective is worth 80 points of IQ: that is, if you find the right way to look at a problem, you can do things with the ease of someone with a 180 IQ who didn't have the advantage of that perspective. How do you get a good perspective? Well, there are a couple different ways. Some are pre-made perspectives: for example, dynamic programming: "let's just build up all the solutions in order from n=0, reduce everything to some other problem we've already built up." Some are intermediate, like wishful thinking: just imagine that magically, you have functions which you don't have, so that you write an algorithm which is correct, but references a bunch of functions which don't yet exist.

Some approaches to new perspectives are more general: hacking, for example, is when you try a bunch of things which just barely work, to find one which does. Another is duck solving: explain your problem out loud to an inanimate object (like a stuffed or rubber duck), and half the time you'll accidentally create a perspective purely for explaining the problem which is useful for solving it. These are very generally phrased because "problems" are a very general topic for intellectual discourse.

To me, this article boiled down to two sentences: "Cerebrospinal fluid flowed along the outside of blood vessels, carried through a network of pipe-like protein structures. The fluid picked up waste that accumulated between cells, then drained out through major veins."

Yeah it's definitely rageworthy when that happens.
FYI, tracking items on water with a land (or sea) based radar is very difficult due to atmospheric effects (mainly ducting) and can cause unacceptable levels of false detections. Combine this with the lack of computer processing at the time means that you have a human operator trying to determine from a scope which targets to attack. I think that this makes detecting and tracking u-boats with early radar very unlikely. If you ever make it to Pearl Harbor on Oahu you can see some examples of the radar scope technology from the Pearl Harbor attacks, it was not very easy to use.

Burn Notice 4.Sezon 13.Bölüm
Me too. I used to really get frustrated when others couldn't see what I thought were obvious answers looking at a situation. Now I've come to sincerely believe there's something strange in me that allows me to see these things because when I've tried to take the Socratic method to get others to see what I see in various situations, I realize there are a lot of people who actually can't. Some people can get it via experience, but I've been able to do the same thing in areas or situations where I have zero experience (and now I'm talking about life, not just technical stuff).

I don't want to get on a high horse and say I have superpowers or something like that. But for some reason I'm able to do something that others can't, even though I think it's simply simple logic. It's sometimes a scary thing, because when I'm wrong, I have a difficult time figuring out why I'm wrong if someone else isn't able to do the same thing and "see" ahead.

Sometimes it seems to me that "seeing" is a better word than "thinking" here, because for the simpler things, it's not like I try to use brain cycles on the issues at hand.

And I hate saying this stuff, because it makes me sound arrogant when I know that I'm really incompetent at so many things.

Rape is a "small time criminal matter" now?

Personally I'd class it as the second most significant crime against the person that the law recognises after murder.

There's no suggestion that these charges have been manufactured or that he's only being prosecuted for who he is. There are real victims who have made real accusations and for all the other bullshit going on, Julian Assange isn't above the law

(And before we get into the whole "it was about using a condom" thing, one accusation is that he had sex with a sleeping woman which, as well as being really classy, is something that would be recognised as rape in pretty much every civilised country in the world including the UK and the US.)

The UK's threat to change the status of the embassy is a massively stupid move (and would violate the Vienna Convention as far as I can see) but everything else is a distraction. Julian Assange may be a freedom fighter, a brave campaigner for truth and whatever else people want to believe, but he's also an accused rapist and none of the other stuff over rides that.
Pinochet was a useful asset to the UK during the Falklands war, keeping regular Argentine troops committed to the mainland and helping UK Special Forces carry out clandestine missions there. In actuality, 'morality' and the 'rule of law', when quoted by politicians, are platitudes. The reality is rewards are expected and granted for political favours, and I think it is likely Pinochet's ill health was simply a convenient excuse to release him.
I'd argue it's one of the better options from an accessibility viewpoint - from a screen reader perspective, you'll get the raw numbers. If the chart was an image, you'd get nothing.

Why does "Software Liberalism" = "Startups"?
I think the size and complexity of the program is the reason why we need to think first before we look at the code. I'll probably look at the obvious indicators (logs, stacktrace etc) and then the "thinking" could begin. Obviously with a huge program there are more probability for the local fix to happen because there are so many moving parts

I was wondering how he could top bringing political labels into programming language discussion... and then he makes an analogy to prisoners urinating on command. I'm not sure what I think of the actual argument in that case, but I'm certainly impressed with his imagination.

That said, his doubling down on the political metaphors has introduced even more irrelevant US-centric bait into the discussion. I think there's some merit to the idea that there's an axis - but you can't say that it's not about US politics, then compare one side to the Moral Majority.

Yes the alleged crime is serious.

There is still something very funny about this insistence that the questioning happens in Sweden. Swedish police can come to UK to question. UK police could question on behalf of Swedish police, there are arrangements for that I think.

Extradition when there are no charges is unusual.

The UK have been here before, General Pinochet and the Spanish judges spring to mind.

Edit: further reading on European arrest warrants makes me realise that each country in Europe has a different definition of 'arrest'.
This still remains only an allegation.

On another note, it's easy to remain on one's moral high horse while surrounded by comfort and taking relatively light responsibility on one self. I suspect the perfect moral hero that gives up all of them selves to protect some perfect ideals is something you're more likely to encounter in fiction like Star Trek than reality.

Hah, I agree with the first commenter. Not the best strategy to advertise - dissing the mouths that feed you.

What constitutes a start up or not is obviously very fluid. And this is totally orthogonal to the point of your startup which I think is identifying design patterns in mobile app space and providing that as a service. You should save your punches for when you need them.

The 'apps are not startups' comment seems very flippant. There are many examples of good startups that are apps. But I do agree that the expectations for an average startup whose sole product is an app might not match that of a more traditional startup in terms of capital requirement, man-power, and potential revenue all of which are affected when you go the traditional route and get VC funding.

Good luck with binpress.
Yes, Apple built the Maps app for iOS, but Google puts its ads in the results. No doubt it was one of the terms for Apple to use their map data.

It's also clear that Apple would've loved to implement features like turn-by-turn navigation in the Maps app, but Google wouldn't let them. With iOS 6, Apple says goodbye to Google Maps and voilà: turn-by-turn navigation.

I was responding to the Amnesty blog post which wasn't about the rape allegations, but the ethics of Assange seeking help from Ecuador. So I'm not sure really sure how your point relates...

[edit] wont let me respond to your comment below, so I'll just say that while I'm not sure how you measure 'what the world sees as a greater good', its a reasonable point and that the Amnesty blogpost would have made much more sense if it had used the argument that you do...
I don't see the connection between the title and the graph.

I know the adjective "cowboy" was used for some programmers in the early 1970's. BASIC, a dynamically typed language, was wildly popular for microcomputers in the 1980's. There were schema-free databases for IBM mainframes in the 70's too. For that matter, LISP was a dynamically typed language back in 1958.

Although "scrum", "extreme programming", "ruby" and things like that are new, all of the real fighting points in software engineering practice have been battlegrounds since the 1970's if not sooner.

As someone who did his first contract gig in 1987, I can say that all of those rules are conditional -- I can pound out certain kinds of projects quickly with languages like PHP and there are other ones where only C++ will do. Premature optimization is a mistake, but its also a mistake to build a system on an architecture that is doomed to forever be slow, unscalable and (worst of all) high latency.
The UK government has threatened the sanctity of a diplomatic mission, putting diplomats and asylum seekers everywhere at risk, over someone who is wanted for questioning, with no actual charges yet to have been filed.

That threat in itself is shocking. If they were to go through with it, dictatorships everywhere would instantly ensure every dissident who as much as looks towards a foreign embassy will get slapped with criminal charges so they can use it to justify entering the embassy to pull them out.

> And it's not as if he's being sent to somewhere with a shitty human rights record or a dodgy judicial system. It's Sweden

It's Sweden, the country who has admitted to having handed Egyptian dissidents over to masked CIA agents who proceeded to strip them, drug them, chain them, and ship them off to Mubarak to be tortured, in violation of Swedish law and international treaties.

The European Court of Human Rights didn't help them much.

The kicker?

Said Egyptians were in Sweden seeking political asylum because they presumably believed the same you do.
My thought is that startups tend to target 'liberal' developers so they can iterate fast and innovate rapidly. It's the 'fuck it ship it' kinda attitude.
> The problem with this argument is nobody has produced any evidence to show Assange is 'persecuted'.

Actually they have. Enough was presented to the Ecuadorian Government that they agreed he faced potential political prosecution. That's why he's been granted asylum.

> Sweden issued a legitimate European Arrest Warrant, and the UK allowed Assange to appeal that to the highest court.

Sweden issued an extremely unusual arrest warrant, and in the highest UK legal circles there is an opinion that the final Supreme court decision was simply wrong:

"The Supreme Court wrongly, and without any analysis, assumed that VCLT Article 31(3)(b) is applicable in the interpretation of secondary European acts such as the Framework Decision. It also neglected to look into the interpretative rules of the EU. The result was a fundamental mistake in the legal reasoning of the Court." [1]

Assange is a Western dissident. You don't have to like him or agree with WikiLeaks mission, but the actions against WikiLeaks have been highly political, and manouverings by Sweden, the UK, and the US in line with the actions of any states acting against dissidents through various channels.

Not just that, he coauthored Go together with the coauthor of C.
IMO it's the same drive in both: fame

He runs Wikileaks giving his name a prominent billing, and has sex with some of his fans. It all comes from the same source.
"Rape - On 17 August 2010, in the home of the injured party [SW] in Enköping, Assange deliberately consummated sexual intercourse with her by improperly exploiting that she, due to sleep, was in a helpless state. It is an aggravating circumstance that Assange, who was aware that it was the expressed wish of the injured party and a prerequisite of sexual intercourse that a condom be used, still consummated unprotected sexual intercourse with her. The sexual act was designed to violate the injured party’s sexual integrity."

See the highlighted section. She was asleep. That's almost certainly going to be rape in the UK, the US, Australia or pretty much anywhere else you'd count as civilised.
Under the same impression too, I definitely remember reading this on a W3C advice/info blog (dark brown background, white and blue header - useful memory).
"I don't see the connection between the title and the graph."

My thought was that startups target younger devs as they believe that they'll be more 'liberal' engineers. I think the graph shows that to be false.

edit: well I don't think the graph shows anything - but it suggests that age and liberalism are not correlated. Many people have suggested that the survey is flawed - and that Yegge's original post is biased against conservatives.
I must admit that I'm confused. The Wikipedia page says he's been accused of rape:

"In 2010, a European Arrest Warrant was issued for Assange in relation to allegations of rape and sexual assault by two women in Sweden"

That seems to imply that an attorney was able to present sufficient evidence to a court to merit an arrest warrant being issued. I don't know the facts of the case in depth, but you seem to be asserting that European Arrest Warrants are issued capriciously, with no regard for due process. That would seem to be far more worrying that the specifics of this case.

>> There is no trial. There are no charges.

At least in the US, those typically come after the suspect is apprehended (and not in that order). Perhaps it's different in European courts. But I was not aware that trials in absentia were the norm there.
