Yes to the degree that they know something about it. If the perpetrators are not in NK or working for them, then I don't see how NK gov. could prove they didn't do it.

That is, the best NK could do to prove they aren't to blame is by outing someone within and claiming it wasn't an operation condoned at higher levels.

It would be a win win for them then. They can say "yeah we hate the movie and dislike the US. Yes we told some people to try and hack and shame the US. No we didn't know or approve of them accomplishing it by trying to ruin SPE." They could avoid starting a war that way, but still gain "credit". Also they would look good by publicly saying "yeah this was bad; we would never officially approve of what was done".

My question back; if they weren't involved, how could they possibly prove they didn't do it?
Make it a team effort: "Guys, we need another front-end dev. Let me know if you have someone in mind."

As a more general note: Finding the right candidate doesn't start when the job post is up online.

You need to be constantly looking and vetting people ( don't need to tell them ;) ), so you'll have someone already in mind when the position is available.

Doesn't the Netherlands use the Euro? If so, then I think the information we have been given is consistent. For you, the MSI currency would be Euro, while for me in the UK, it would be GBP. Each of us would pay any tax due to foreign tax authorities via our own country's MOSS in our local currency, but if we charged a customer in a different currency then we would have to convert it in one of the two ways I mentioned before.
I would love to make distributing games built on Python easier. Jessica McKeller suggested this should be a priority[0] to make the language more accessible by getting kids involved in making games and being able to share them, easily, with their friends. These days Javascript is kicking our butt in this area.

I've been writing little helper libraries on top of Python 3.4 + pysdl2 as I've been working on games and demos for my (unfortunately cancelled) Pycon talk. One area I've only played with, unsuccessfully, is getting packaging going on Nuitka or some other compiler. If anyone wants to get together to make it awesome get in touch.

I know a guy who hooked up a Nunchuck to an Arduino, blasted the x/y/z data into MongoDB and used Meteor.js just to show the coordinates on a website, in realtime. He is also the kind of guy who likes to use Node.js and thinks MongoDB "is a database for when you need scalability". Though I must say he hacked it together rather quickly.

I have to agree. I keep looking at these trend lines and it seems very negative for Facebook:

Ask HN: Which Go Web Framework (Pros and Cons)?
After playing with the net/http package to understand how it works, I tried Gorilla and Beego.

Beego is a "batteries included" Framework, it seems very similar to Django (Python), on the other side Gorilla is more a set of components that can be used together, Gorilla feels more like a microframework Flask-like (Python).

I would love if we can talk about our experience with Web Framework.

Which Framework are you using? How you compare it to your former web framework?
What are the Pros/Cons?

Here a short list of the popular Go Web Frameworks:

- Beego : http://beego.me/

- Revel : http://revel.github.io/

- Gorilla : http://www.gorillatoolkit.org/

- Gin-gonic : https://gin-gonic.github.io/gin/

I am sorry, and at risk of downvotes, web dev is a much faster (dare I say it more fickle) crowd than science. Python is not a whole lot better than Golang, Ruby and of course, Node.js at this use case. Absolute numbers are not persuasive to me here. There are far fewer scientists than web devs (your stats imply ~ 1:2). Indeed I would venture to suggest that your data means that numpy punches well above its weight relative to other languages' science:webdev ratios. Let's not forget that Numpy and its direct linear ancestor, Numeric, has been dominant for more than a decade. Show me the Python web framework which can say the same. Flask/Bottle/Pyramid/Django/Tornado - pick your fashion.

Another point (to the grandparent posts): putting Numpy into a "science" pidgeon hole is erroneous. It is massively used in finance, engineering, bioinformatics, and statistics.

Seriously? I think Python is fantastic, and IMHO this is due to Guido. But seriously, how can he possibly comment on someone else's attempt to improve the performance of Python? He should look in a mirror when saying that ;-)

Well, this has been Yahoo's strategy as well. Its bought a lot of high profile projects, often good projects, and then it systematically ran them into the ground.

I'm not sure how FB is run internally, but what I know doesn't fill me with confidence. It feels like a bunch of 20 somethings acting as arrogant as possible because of their defacto monopoly on personal social networking. I honestly can't see this culture being good for a hardware company that's expected to continue to be an open source darling and actually ship hardware. Where's FB's track record in hardware? A couple failed phones at best?

Heck, /r/oculus used to this avalanche of futurism and wonderful projects. Now it reads like a lot of press, marketing, and PR pieces. I suspect a lot of the hobbyist goodwill has been burned by the acquisition or just naturally petered out and the interesting people have moved to better things.

Not to mention Sony and MS getting in on the action. Sony has Morpheus and MS is showcasing their VR headset in June. These are devices that'll "just work" with a commodity console as opposed to a specialist device that'll "just not work" without a hefty and expensive gaming machine and an end user without enough tech skills to tie all these disparate elements together.

I think FB smelled blood in the water with Sony and MS eating Oculus's lunch and got them at a very discounted price. Everyone thinks this is some masterful move, but it seems like desperation from all involved. The console juggernauts are just not easy to beat. If they were we'd all be playing iConsole or Facebook's console or the Ouya. Sony and MS have the hardware, the delivery back-end, the online stores, the customers, the exclusive deals, the experience, the branding, and the marketing muscle. What is FB bringing to the table other than cash from its inflated stock?
You were the one who wanted to count cultures in the first place.

If you can't count cultures (or other measures of diversity?) then how does any evolutionary behavior manage to do so?

I would like to know your historical examples of "signs of it at so many different levels". All I know of occur relatively recently in history, which is a strong indicator that it's a cultural change, and not a deep evolutionary imperative.

I like to use NodeJS too, JavaScript is a great misunderstood language that will handle the vast majority of use cases in the world of CRUD.

Honestly, there is something to be said for hacking something together quickly. Prototyping is a great way to explore ideas and find the interesting problems nested in the problem you're trying to solve. I just don't like the evangelism of Meteor because I've never seen anything really explaining it's value.

I agree. In fact, I think that the slowness of Python implementations is a feature. It forces developers to use standard libraries, which in turn makes the program more concise. This is certainly the case in MATLAB where vectorization is pretty much needed for non-trivial programs, and this leads to improved readability.
The comments on stress are spot-on.

Persistent, low levels of stress are extremely unhealthy. Looking back at my life, I ended up maladapting to these in every scenario, hurting myself and wasting years of my life in the process. If something isn't right, it needs to change, and you can't delay. The failure to enact change creates a feedback loop that makes you more passive, which sucks you of hope, which makes you less likely to create change.

Again: to anyone reading this, do not just put up with long-term, 'smaller' stresses. At least try to work on them. We do not do well with stress + uncertainty combined.

Passively 'Sniffing' Data: How Mobile Network Spying Works
Actually, the Constitution says

The Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases of Impeachment, shall be by Jury; and such Trial shall be held in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any State, the Trial shall be at such Place or Places as the Congress may by Law have directed.

By my plain, non-lawyer reading of the law, Judge Black was either misinformed or lying about the law. It hardly matters if you are beyond the boundaries of the US, if the US comes to you to claim jurisdiction over you.

It certainly is appalling. The Constitution must have operation over agents of the federation wherever they may go, even if not over citizens or other people, otherwise you end up with malicious workarounds like extraordinary rendition and Guantanamo Bay prison.

And while Oliver Twist is non legal canon, when the law is an ass, we should feel free to say so. The argument from In re Ross seemed very disingenuous, in that it claimed that a court established in a foreign country using the Constitution as the basis for its jurisdiction was then no longer bound by it thereafter. It is obvious to me, as a layman, that both Black and Field were seeking expedience rather than justice. I imagine that anyone seeking to overturn the precedent set by the Field opinion could simply petition as an expatriate filing income taxes, and claim it as sole argument against the 16th Amendment having operation in another country.
But as a consumer, I am more likely to purchase if I see that the inventory is low vs if there is 12000 available even if there is the same chance of it selling out before I checkout.

Seems to me that the best tactic would be to only show inventory numbers when it's below a certain threshold or the velocity of the inventory is decreasing sharply.
I think the truth could run in one of two directions. Todays news implied that Iran, China and North Korea were in cahoots and aggressively attacked Sony for months and finally penetrated their bastion. Sony was helpless to defend. That is what the press and FBI seem to be saying.

The facts seem to say that Sony was incredibly incompetent and had all sorts of sensitive files sitting on servers with no access protection. Sr. staff never deleted emails and made newsworthy statements in their emails, especially ones that attacked celebrities and even the President. With this juicy material, including unreleased movies, all free for the taking, the hackers used well known standard techniques to penetrate. Then they leisurely sucked down a lot of information and no one noticed the traffic.

While there is no excuse for theft, if I have shoddy locks, no lights, no alarms, on my home I may be at more risk than if I had solid locks, security systems, lights, etc. Whether it was North Korea or the next door neighbor, it was not a particularly difficult crime to pull off.

Agreed. Defaulting to native threading gives developers so much more freedom. After all, M:N threading is just implemented on native threads anyway. You can still do that if you want to. Rust isn't going to be a systems language used only for networking, so forcing a M:N threading model on it doesn't make sense.

This change was necessary to keep Rust as a general use systems programming language.

If the people who wrote these emails don't approve of them being disseminated publicly, then I don't think people in the news should be doing so.

Private / corporate email is not the same as government ( which should have high transparency ). This is not like wikileaks. There is no moral obligation to share stolen Sony data.

My request to the hacker news community: Please stop posting links to people illegally posting stolen Sony data.
Well, the app is obviously working for some folks, but in my case it's junk. 13" MBA 2012 OS X 10.10.1 connecting with iPad Mini Retina or iPhone 5s (both iOS 8.1.2) using genuine Apple Lightning cable and direction connection (i.e. no USB hub). Most of the time the iOS app never gets beyond the "Connect to Mac" stage, even though the screen flashes on the Mac indicating new display hardware is available. Sometimes the iOS app gets to the "Launching Duet…" and hangs. Rarely, the iOS app actually becomes a display; however, when that happens my mouse is frozen (in a "stuttering" sort of way). Waste of good money for me.

Don't use any framework.

You can use a dispatcher library like httprouter to get slightly more convenient URL routing and parameter capture. There are a whole bunch of "middleware" libraries that intercept requests and provide sessions, CSRF protection, &c --- and no one "framework" provides all of them.

But keep net/http visible in your code. It'll maximize compatibility with other libraries, keep you from having to write bizarre shims, and ensure your code is idiomatic.

When someone writes a library that coherently unifies persistence and request handling and view rendering, it'll be time to consider frameworks. But current Golang frameworks aren't ambitious enough to be worth the headache of, in effect, coding to an idiosyncratic alternate universe of request handling.
Good idea. And the project seems fit for a Kickstarter campaign.

I don't know whether I believe it, but the argument for Snapchat is that it encourages user engagement. So if you're a photographer who wants attention, it's better to have someone's dedicated attention for a few seconds on Snapchat than it is for them to glance it while scrolling through their feed on Facebook.
If you want to render HTML, there's a lot of security features that you won't get with micro-frameworks. And even Beego and Revel have a lot to do to catch up with Rails and Django. So for this type of apps, I would stay with Rails or Django for now (depending on your preferences).

If you make REST APIs, then you can use a micro-framework because there will be less boilerplate to get to what you want. Goji and Gin offer great performances compared to Gorilla, Martini and the others.

I see a lot of companies using Rails or Django for their main app and Go for their background processes. I think this approach is a good first step to get better performances and knowledge of Go, keeping the productivity of these frameworks to render HTML apps.
I speak three languages and appreciate the language diversity as each of them provides a unique window to perceive and express the universe. We need, however, a common (universal) language that allows mankind to create a global culture, a global identity (above and including all national identities) and to enable general understanding and practical communications in all matters. This language should be taught everywhere in addition to the local language. We cannot expect to for the different linguistic communities (or the world in general) to renounce to a language, but at the same time the general well-being calls for a common language.
It's actually quite pleasant to compose your application out lots of small modules, libraries, and frameworks. It's not akin to building your own platform, since all the pieces are there.
Smith tells me that a Morgellons patient who finds unusual fibers in their skin will typically bring a sample to show their doctor. But when they do this, they’re unknowingly falling into a terrible trap. It is a behavior that is known among medical professionals as ‘the matchbox sign’ and it is used as evidence against them, to prove that they are mentally ill.

The article suggests significant interplay between physiological and psychological factors. Wouldn't a dermatologist understand such interplay and, instead of leaping straight to a mental illness diagnosis, work with the patient along those lines? "This matchbox contains cotton from your environment. Something is making you itch and you're finding this on your skin. Let's find the cause of the itch before it drives you crazy. Here's how to look for bed bugs and dust mites. We'll test your blood for XYZ, maybe biopsy this lesion."
