GNOME software is written conventionally so you can't just "put things in C++ mode and it's fine" - lots of churn would be needed to make it C++-clean (e.g. the 'class' and 'new' keyword are used as variable names, etc).

Gtk+ on MSVC is supported, sadly. It'd be really nice if it weren't, because then glib could be C99 and we'd all be really happy about it - the glib developers aren't stooges refusing to go forward, they're stuck between a rock and a hard place by Microsoft's amazing reluctance to build anything resembling a sane compiler and over a decade of binary stability.

Yeah, Gtk+ could've thrown the "fuck you" to the Microsoft compiler when they broke for 3.x, and in a lot of ways, I wish they would have, but making those decisions usually means porting software, and so nobody's willing to do it in a 3.x branch. Maybe when the fabled Gtk+ 4.x rolls around.
Not technically difficult but incredibly tedious. First, you have to go out and collect it from all 50 Secretaries of State, and in come cases county officials. Some states send you the data on a CD (no joke). You then have to clean the data, which is often not in great shape, and then normalize it.

Even then, you only have a snapshot, because the states typically don't keep historical data. What this means is that your dataset won't be as good as someone who's been collecting this data for years, and thereby knows things you won't like where someone used to live, how often they voted there, who recently dropped off the registered voter rolls, etc.

In this case, even this data wouldn't be enough, because the Sanders team had made likely hundreds of thousands of contacts with voters, and recorded what issues they cared about and who they planned to vote for. This data, which they personally collected, is now inaccessible to them.

One thing I'm always curious about: most of these discussions seem to be targeted at college grads, discussing where they could be after their first 5 years in the industry. The sense I've gotten is that these big companies tend to compensate all new hires approximately the same, caring little about experience outside their company or perhaps one of the other big companies. It seems to me that smaller, less well known, companies are more hungry for experienced people, because they are relatively starved of people who can drive architecture, decision making, and hiring, and are thus more willing to take a risk on paying a premium for experience.

So my question is: stipulating that the numbers favor bigcos for fresh graduates, is the same true for people who already have that 5 (or 8, or 15, or 20) years of experience elsewhere?

Yeah I used to believe that but having but having lived through a lengthy episode of being in a somewhat depressed and fatigued state, and having researched and observed it in myself and others, I no longer buy that depression can "happen completely independent of your life circumstances".

The main reason for this is that it's fallacious to think that your emotions are "completely independent of your life circumstances". They're symbiotic.

I was born into modest privilege and had an upbringing that was free of abuse or major trauma, and the only things that have gone severely wrong for me in life have been through my own poor decisions.

Yet I can now easily see how the depression I've experienced was due to a combination of living in a somewhat unhealthy environment and having a propensity to respond to that environment by becoming depressed and fatigued. I can now see the same applies to everyone else I know of who experiences depression.

The explanation you've given is embraced by mental health professionals as it allows them to justify attempting to cure it with pharmaceuticals and short therapy consultations, but as the data shows, that approach has a pretty low success rate.

> it's not unusual for a doctor these days to plan to make their last payment on these loans in their forties

To underscore this, take someone who goes straight through: finish undergrad at 22, med school at 26, internal medicine at 29, cardiology at 33. Again, no gap year, no research, certainly no PhD. At age 33, this person will have enough income to start making meaningful payments toward their debt, rather than just paying subsidized interest. It would be near-heroic to pay this off before 40 unless they were in private practice in the Midwest. And this is the best possible case: shortest training time, lucrative specialty, private practice.
But that really have nothing to do with the distinction between material an immaterial property. The distinction lies in the moral judgment of the consequences, and fairness, of those actions.
> For example, the AMA regulates the physician supply by influencing policies of medical schools.

This is a common misconception that keeps popping up again and again. Reposting a comment from just four days ago:

The AMA is a common scapegoat, except that the AMA has literally nothing to do with the number of of doctors supply-side.

You're probably thinking of the AAMC, which has nothing to do with the AMA, and is responsible for the number of medical students who graduate each year from the US. Except the AAMC has very deliberately and openly increased the number of medical student slots each year for over a decade, specifically with this goal in mind.

But even this is a moot point, because the number of people gradating with MDs is not the bottleneck - the problem is that doctors can't practice medicine until they complete a residency program. We graduate more medical students every year than we have residency slots available, so increasing the number of graduates even further will have no effect.

Increasing the number of residency slots is up to Medicare, because Medicare funds residency programs nationwide, as residency programs do not make enough money to sustain themselves otherwise.
And how do you propose that would happen? They followed the same demographic trend of birthrate decline as GDP and urbanization rose as many other countries. There's no rolling that progress back, and I don't foresee any particular reason they'd become an exception to that rule. It's far more likely the politicians and/or society as a whole will come to its senses and start promoting immigration, but I don't really see that happening either.

I think it's a combination of the era and of the specific context. I would suppose that your experience potentially had other extenuating factors that caused you to give the threat more weight. Either way, I don't fault you at all for treating it as serious if you felt it was. It's not exactly a socially acceptable thing to threaten anyone—but at the time, and in this context, I think recipient would have recognized the ridiculousness of the "threat" (killing someone over the change of a command's behavior?) as an attempt at a joke.

No longer.
I kinda feel like Gnome/GTK peaked about 2001 or 2002, and has been in a steady decline ever since. OTOH, KDE/QT hit a local maxima around the same time, then dropped off, but has been improving for the past couple of years (with a few small ups and downs mixed in).

I've switched to KDE Plasma desktop on Fedora as my primary work environment now and couldn't be happier. If I wanted to write a native X app now, I'd definitely be thinking QT.

When QT first switched to LGPL, I hoped it would result in an explosion of interest in that environment. In hindsight, "explosion" would probably be an overstatement, but the K/QT world does seem to have been growing and improving since then.
"A future this or any other transport technology lacks in Japan, for the Tōzai line is almost certainly the last subway line Japan will ever build."

"Ever" is a very, very long time! There might not be any new subways for a few decades, but the idea of a "subway" itself is only about a hundred and fifty years old. How could one possibly know whether Japan will need new subways in seven hundred years? And seven hundred years is just an eyeblink, compared to "ever". The human species is about a hundred thousand years old, and most animals have been around for far longer than that.
I believe a recent episode of the TV series "Minority Report" used this as part of the story.
I'm surprised my comment was actually somewhat popular, so it may well have been interpreted differently than I meant. I was intending to sarcastically take the position that one feminist website is a rulebook for everyone, because that's how people seriously act all the time. The woman in the dongle fiasco believed that because she was offended, everyone should be, and the conference organizers apparently agreed. She had plenty of supporters -- was it really just "one single woman"? Maybe it's a bad example, because as the situation evolved she was being attacked (and in response, supported) more as a woman than as a professional maintaining certain standards. But I do believe a substantial chunk supported her position itself, a complaint primarily about sexism.

On the other hand, the OP herself is in the gray (for now at least) for saying dick jokes are fine and the only sexism there is the lack of vulva jokes.[1]

The fact that there is no rulebook was exactly my point. For every person wanting to analyze whether your anatomical/sexual reference is offensive to someone, there is someone else feeling singled out that you would take that care before saying it in front of them. I don't want to throw up my hands and give up, just point out that people act like the answers are easy but it's actually very complex. There's little consensus on proper behavior on these small scales, and both sides have tribal and exclusionary behaviors.

Behavior of today's college students, in the US at least, suggests the Tumblr generation is growing and therefore a sizable contingent of people really will increasingly apply these standards to everyone else.

Hmmm... Funny you mention that. I'm better off, happier and much more appreciative of life the than majority the "rich" kids I've run across as grown ups- and I earn more, too. I wouldn't consider the subset of rich kids who inherited wealth to be successful at all, they're riding on their parent's coat-tails and have done nothing for themselves. In the end I'm far tougher, adaptive, creative, and decisive that those who grew up on easy street- so while I was brought up in poverty I'm a much better off and equipped for real life.

There is a silver lining to humble roots. Shame on those who diminish all things other than wealth.
I did, actually, a long time ago. And you'll find a number of instances of Roman troops cutting civilians to pieces, either after being ordered to, or on their own initiative. Modern estimates of casualties are in hundreds of thousands, which, considering the size of the population at that time, is a significant chunk.

That's not mentioning the ethics of invading a country to pay back your creditors.

This doesn't make Caesar particularly bloodthirsty by the standards of the time. However, someone like Scipio Africanus behaved in a much more humane way.
I switched to DDG maybe 4-5 months ago and it mostly works fine for me. If I suspect it is wrong I !g google it and see if that works better.

I wonder how often spy satellites take similar pictures, since they might be more willing to play around to peek around cloud cover, if they really want a particular picture right now.

Having a powerful, private "spy satellite" is really cool, since it puts government-style capabilities in the hands of "ordinary" people (at least, ordinary people with money).
Not necessarily in good taste, but… yes. At this time (1996) having an obvious overreaction like this would have appeared to be a joke.
I think it is pretty unreasonable. As you note, there is no technical reason to deny the Bernie campaign access to their data. The Bernie campaign has fully indicated they want and are willing to cooperate with a third party investigation into the data breach, which would require investigating both campaigns, the DNC, and NPG VAN. Given they are already willing to share everything they know about the incident, there is absolute no legitimate reason for the DNC to intentionally sabotage the campaign.

> He could rationalize it as saving lives in the end, in a way that most people would agree with, given the same context.

These entire peoples were dedicated to their cause, a cause that included looting and killing everyone that got in their way. There's a reason why the women and children were there to be killed: they were traveling with the military and participating in military actions. If you read link at the top of the thread, the survivors were given permission by Caesar to depart, but they chose to remain with him because they were afraid of facing the revenge of the people who they invaded and killed.

In that context, it is difficult to see how they can really be identified as civilians in a meaningful way.

The article is somewhat misleading in that it makes it seem as though these tribes were just peacefully wandering around when they asked Caesar for asylum. They were invading, and after they invaded, they then asked for asylum from the man charged by the Romans to defend the area. Their 'request for asylum', by the way, was something along the lines of "we can be allies, as long as you give us new lands or let us keep the ones we've invaded. Otherwise, just so you know, the only people stronger than us are the Suevi, who drove us from our homes. So watch out." Of course he said no.
Except it wasn't just a list of voters. It also included "client scores". That means the Sanders campaign had access to modelling information regarding the Clinton campaign's list. It is pretty valuable knowing how the other campaign values and/or targets specific voters and that is something that obviously can't be found from public info.

I hope 2016 is cheerier for you.

> And how do you propose that would happen?

If the social safety net becomes weaker (which one would expect if its current strength becomes demographically untenable), then immediate family in the next generation becomes the dominant personal safety net, and larger family sizes are incentivized (its basically one of the processes that led to declining birth rates in the developed world running in reverse, as social safety nets weaken rather than strengthening.)

Note that I'm not saying this is painless, as its a social change which is very slow and lagging the driving force.

Many people who believe they are just being struck randomly by depression are simply not aware of the reasons they are feeling depressed. That doesn't mean there aren't emotional/psychological reasons for what they're experiencing---only that they don't see those things as the cause.

For the first decade or so after being diagnosed with depression I believed it could only be explained by brain chemistry or something like that. Only later in life when I learned more about healthy relationships and what does and doesn't work for me emotionally did I realize that my depression was an obvious reaction to the dysfunctional environment I was raised in.

My ignorance of the non-chemical causes of my depression made me feel I was "just struck by it". But there really was a cause in my environment. I believe this is true for many other people as well.

Depression and anxiety in particular I think are better explained as a mismatch between human adaptation and current human environment. They are signals that things are unsafe/insecure. It seems to me more wise to focus on improving our environment than on constantly blaming the brain, whether through the serotonin hypothesis or this new neuroconnectivity approach.
There is no technical reason, but that doesn't mean there is no reason. Sanders campaign may have violated rules. The DNC has thrown them in jail without bail in hopes that it gets things resolved quickly. I have no problem with that. If the DNC drags this process out that would be a very different story.
So you know the industry, you have ideas that you consider to be very valid and now you even have the time. Maybe you can create a product to fill in some gaps they surely must have?

And if the idea doesn't sell, what about some competition? Maybe following a crowd-funded model? I know I'm just throwing random ideas, but hopefully this will spark a light in you :)

My uncle is an MD in Georgia and had to close his private practice four years ago that he had for twenty because malpractice insurance, the racketing of drug companies, and medicare / medicaid not paying out in timely or reasonable manners left him with negative balance books many months, and the bureaucracy meant he needed two employees just to cover the mountains of paperwork.

He estimated that for a simple referral or prescription he needed to produce at least 15 different forms or records and provide them to the insurer / medicare / pharmacy / etc, duplicate them in triplicate, back them up in filing cabinets that took up a quarter of his office, etc. Yes, his business was making probably 600k in revenue a year. And sometimes upwards of 550k of that would end up going to expenses - salaries, rent, certifications, licenses, bureaucratic bullshit, and a half dozen different kinds of insurance.

He is now working for a hospital as part of basically a medical monopoly ring in the state being paid much less than the OECD average but that isn't pleasant to hear that the inflated salaries vary greatly depending on location.

Hes 60 now. He paid off his student loan debt only five years ago, after working in a hospital for 5 and then his private practice for 20 years after graduating his MD.

It is insane, and hilarious, how people are misdirecting the obvious highway robbery of insurance companies, hospital executives, and investors in the industry on the backs of the doctors who are dedicating their lives to medicine.
