> They make the craziest things up about Common Core, Environment and the nation's Safety Net.

I find your selection of topic really interesting. I'm not a US citizen, but I'm on good terms with a lot of smart and reasonable people in US from all the political spectrum, from Bernie to Trump, and I've noticed a curious thing: the issues these people are talking about are different. Even if they are sometimes related (like taxes and government spending), red/blue teams don't make the connection.

When a friend of mine (highly intelligent developer at Facebook, btw) explains why he would vote for Trump, he doesn't mention any of these. He and others like him talk about gun laws, about foreign policy, macro-economics and capital flight.

If both parties weren't as polarized, I think they would be able to come to some compromise about these issues, allowing the adversary to get his way on some stuff that is just not as important for them. But the rhetoric I see is always polarized and absolute. People aren't ready even to ask the question about why would the other side think otherwise and assume good will even for a second. Instead, they immediately conjure racist/anti-american/anti-poor/communist strawmen.
>>I absolutely hate this quote; it gets parroted all the time as a smug and flippant criticism of the American Dream.

Which is totally fine, because the American Dream has been dead for a long time.

>>Is it such a bad thing that we're a nation of dreamers?

Insofar as those dreams actually help you achieve your goals, no. The problem with the American Dream is the narrative: that anything is achievable if you work hard for it. This could not be further from the truth, and continuing to believe it is actively harmful.
> Anarchism is anti-capitalist

Some of it. There are various views on this subject as well as different variants of anarchistic approaches.

> RMS is neither an anarchist nor strictly anti-capitalist

Giving a single label is probably pointless. He definitely has anarchistic ideas.

But the opportunity cost is never having a true enterprise class file-system. If you look at Linux, OpenSolaris (and it's derivatives), BSD and yes even modern Windows in terms of core technology and performance their file-systems are generations ahead of OSX. What shocks me is that given the BSD lineage of OSX that is hasn't switched to ZFS yet given how Apple prides itself on being the "best of the best" of computing world.

But you want your mdfind and Spotlight so you have to be okay with giving up ZFS or another enterprise-class Linux/UNIX file-system!
> The second group which is not happy is the entire populace who like an open market and free competition.

What? Since when did US blue collar workers liked open markets and free competition with their 3rd world counterparts?
I'm not going to pretend to be happy because of the fallacy of relative privation.
Thanks for clarifying that. In that case, people should feel free to not work any additional time if that additional income that intrudes into that highest marginal tax rate doesn't provide enough incentive for them after tax.
You cannot conclude that the current school education is not ineffective(effective) just by looking at the number of Nobel Prize winners.

The USA is lagging behind many countries in key areas( especially STEM fields).

Anyway the point I was trying to make was that, these extracurricular initiatives are great, but it cannot be a solution to a poor public school system.

Socialism could still take root among the American populace, even if it's incompatible with the constitution.
> I seriously would be interested on what topics you find the same thing.

All the nation-wide issues that could easily be state issues.
What? Why does that matter?

> because you cannot have socialism if wealth is not distributed in an apportioned manner

States are fully capable of re-distributing wealth.

Socialism never took root exactly because of what Steinbeck alludes to. Cultural incompatibility.

The NT Kernel has some cool features. One of them is that it has environment subsystems. So it has POSIX environment subsystem, Win32 subsystem , OS/2 subsystem. So it's not limited by the win32 api.

Most of these are no longer maintained, but has the capability to do so.
> 1. I'm 31 years old and not even halfway through paying off my student loans.

Why did you take them?

Disclaimer: I'm not an american, and this is an honest question. I always see that about US and don't understand why people get angry at someone else for their own decision.
My family was traditionally extreme right wing (My dad likes Trump, is racist, is a young earth creationist, etc), but both my sister and I ended up being pretty moderate, if slightly liberal leaning (we are both Socially Liberal, Financially Conservative), and my wife, who has similar parents (though not as extreme) is considering voting Democrat (Sanders, but not Hillary, definitely not Trump, if he wins, we might move to Canada - for real)

Anecdata and all that, but I still get along well with my parents, and my wife, hers. We avoid religion and politics (though if it comes up we kinda stay quiet while the other rants, no arguing).

I consider myself Moderate and really don't like the "foam at the mouth" extremes on either side, to be honest, I don't understand the need to go to that extreme, and to fight and argue so passionately about it.
This is mediocre. It's not nice sounding, just sounds like a MIDI drum machine with mediocre sounds and mediocre beats.

Does anyone know of good freely-licensed (CC0, CC BY, or CC BY-SA) MIDI drum beat collections? That would be much more valuable, and everyone could just open them in Hydrogen drum machine and use them with all free software. That would be worthwhile.

A set of YouTube videos of crappy drum machine things is not great at all.
Tenth amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Socialism: means of production as property of the people.

I don't see a contradiction.
I am enjoying the steam that both Erlang and Elixir are gaining here on Hacker News. They're both interesting, well designed languages built atop a rock solid VM with some great abstractions for concurrency.

I'm hoping that this trend continues because out of all the noise of new languages and frameworks I feel like Erlang/Elixir are very deserving of becoming the new way forward for developing anything that runs on a network.
I apologize for how rude this is going to sound, but if you think that the 16th amendment allows the government to bequeath to the American people the means to production then you're being incredibly naive.

Even _if_ the courts upheld that point of view, you must keep in mind the incredibly contentious situation that surrounds the ratification and the enforcement of the 16th amendment and its various precedents set. Using such a weak and explosive justification for the implementation of socialism in the US will lead to the most intense political battle ever witnessed by citizens of our declining nation.
That's not the reason why "socialism" (however you define it) didn't take root in America.

There was a time when the labor movement was strong, Eugene V. Debs was a serious presidential candidate (even being pardoned by the then-POTUS Warren G. Harding over his sedition charge) and radical syndicalists like the IWW were influential.

These proclivities were largely staved off through sleights of hand like Wilson's New Freedom and later the New Deal, which appeared to achieve socialistic ends, but largely through statist and corporatist means that didn't pose much of a threat to the establishment. An interesting example is that the National Recovery Administration part of the First New Deal was originally proposed by the then-president of General Electric, Gerard Swope.
I'm not sure I'd call it "modern" (or not) but typical strategies for getting away from MS Access:

- Move data into any DBMS (e.g. SQL Server, Oracle, IBM, Postgres, etc).

- Get a reporting solution that hooks into the DBMS (SQL Server Reporting Services, Power BI, Domo, Tableau, SAP Crystal Reports, IBM Cognos, et al).

- Reproduce the reports you have in Access in the reporting solution.

These reports CAN be delivered via HTTP/HTML, or even created that way in some cases. But they can also deliver reports in static formats (Excel spreadsheets, PDFs, images, etc).

The power of MS Access is the reports building functionality (and forms which generate reports with bespoke values). You can actually point Access at a DBMS and it still remains a powerful tool.

Most companies won't move away from MS Access in one go. They'll move their data and then later move their reports, and most of the reason to move reports is to better centralise operations (no more Access file on Bob's computer which Sam cannot access) and provide an improved remote access facility.
Yeah, change is hard, so we should just elect someone who isn't pursuing any.

It's related.

Leader election generally[1] requires consensus among distributed processes, and global locks generally[1] require consensus as well. The benefit of this is that both problems can be solved on top of a common consensus implementation which is what http://atomix.io does.

1: I say generally because you can do fancy things with fancy clocks to avoid running operations through a quorum under certain circumstances, but these carry caveats that preclude them from being reliable enough to use in many use cases.

> How would he seek to do that without having a majority in Congress?

Why would he be the first Presidential candidate in history to not seek to have a Congressional majority supporting his policy objectives elected alongside himself?

(Sure, he probably won't get that, and he'll probably have to compromise with the Congress he actually has. But that shouldn't stop him from trying to build as much support as possible for his actual policy goals.)

I would like to see Mr Sanders proposed rates for the middle class and what range of income he deems to be middle class. Middle class in SF or NYC is much different than say Detroit, MI.

Housing costs, cost of living, and local taxes are not really factored into the current federal tax rates, and higher rates on the middle class could hurt a lot of people.

The entire time I was growing up, I was told it was "college or bust". I was never told that it would be "college and bust", but that seems to be the reality.

Kids were told over and over that a college degree would ensure their future success, that they'd be practically guaranteed to get a career that made paying their student loans trivial, on top of a nice house and a car because that's the American Dream, isn't it?

It's easy as an adult to look back on it and say "wow, that was a big mistake", now that I know how jobs and the economy actually work, but first we had to unlearn everything our parents, teachers, career counselors, and college financial advisers told us in the first place.
Best Web Hosting? Why I Left Bluehost for SiteGround
Well, see my other post in this thread. This is an example of exactly what I was talking about. If your only response to stuff like this is to complain about how it's not "fair", you take one step towards preventing it from even existing in the first place. Who wants to try anything new if the only thing they're going to hear is "But it's not being evenly distributed to everybody!"?

This is step one. Before we can "come up with solutions that are inclusive" we need to just plain come up with solutions! Don't kill that with complaining long before it's relevant about how "fair" it is.

Is it really so wrong that the rich are willing to be guinea pigs anyhow? It is, after all, ultimately disingenuous to complain that the school systems aren't seeing this improvement because whenever the school systems suggest trying this sort of improvement the complaint about using kids as guinea pigs and ohmigosh their futures will be wrecked immediately come up. You can't have it every which way. This is a significant chunk of the mechanism that has rendered national-scale schooling impossible to innovate with anyhow.
After reading about GNU Social on HN last night I created an account on the first of the 6 provides, loadaverage.org

I like the service and I am considering running my own server. My account is https://loadaverage.org/markwatson and I am going to start out by cross posting some of the things I post on Twitter and G+ and see where this goes.

When I quit consulting at Google in 2013 the first thing I did when I got home was to write an article on how to use Twitter, G+, and Facebook while preserving some degree of privacy. If alternatives like GNU Social catch on (a big IF), that will be a good thing!

The problem with this solution is that if A writes Token_A to resource, and then A dies, then the resource can never be written to again. How do you avoid not needing to time out the 'curr_lock'
Not sure if you meant it this way, but the insight that I drew from your comment was:

When we think that either A or B are not super important beliefs, or we are observing from such a distance that the differences between A and B seem small, then we feel the people are narrow minded and prejudiced if they strongly hold on to their belief and are openly discriminatory against the other.

However, when we personally and strongly think that one of the beliefs is completely evil or unacceptable, then we feel that the distinction is justified and that it's okay to not just oppose it, but also feel confident enough to do so openly and with pride.

TLDR; It's much easier to be non-discriminatory if we (or our belief system) don't (doesn't) have any skin in the game.

Angular, React, and JavaScript Framework Fatigue – Red Hat Developer Blog
Do they actually remove ads if I pay?
Trust me when I say they all lack a fully polished end to end solution when it comes to authoring modern games.

Depending on the graphical fidelity you're chasing Unity is probably the most polished of the 3 majors.

UE4 is a great tool but has a slower development cycle.

CryEngine is almost broken unless you're willing to do a deep dive in the source.

If by "explore game dev" you mean, "make games" Unity or UE4 will serve you well. UE4 has a nexus of great artists using the tool so recruiting artists that are familiar with the toolset is easier. Unity is some multiple of more productive, pending your skill level with C#.

I've evaluated all 3, am a proficient programmer in C++ and C#(among others), and have shipped several games with Unity. I've also worked on a couple of shipped titles with UE4.(nothing major)

Unreliable data IMHO
Each of the 50 states has individually enacted so many policies and regulations surrounding the means of production being NOT the property of the people. To unwind all of these laws and systems in place, not only will the nation face the most unbecoming administrative challenge ever undertaken by a modern nation; it would also require an outright de-ratification of the Constitution as a whole.

There is absolutely zero compatibility between Socialism and the US Constitution. Say what you will about either - they do not work together. Come back to this completely unrealistic idea in 100 years where there's a chance that social calamity has caused enough destruction that we finally let go of our founding documents. I think the likelihood of such an outcome is extremely unrealistic, though.
One point that the BBC article doesn't cover is where exactly the 'middle ground' is. The language is still framed from an entirely American Politics perspective of there being two parties and no other reference points.

Lost is the fact that both American parties are fairly far to the right. Also lost among the message of anger is the point that they glossed past. The 'Washington' (DC) insiders /are/ the political parties.
How to push to multiple GitHub accounts from the same machine
They are currently developing a larger engine, Raptor, which is intended for their Mars project and possibly for an upper stage for the Falcon family. But it's not a plug-and-play replacement for the Russian RD-180. (Nor is Blue Origin's BE-4, which is what ULA currently plans to use to effectively replace the RD-180 -- but only by building a substantially new Rocket, the Vulcan, around the BE-4, to replace their current Atlas V.)

BTW, as others have noted, "heavy lift" is more often used to characterize whole rockets than individual engines -- and the current American leader in that category (until SpaceX finally launches Falcon Heavy) is the Delta IV heavy, powered by three RS-68s, each of which nearly matches the thrust of an RD-180. (And yet isn't a drop-in replacement for numerous reasons, starting with use of different fuels.)
Why would the EPA not be taking that case? And extract a financial penalty for Superfund cleanup?
Your mistake here is missing the idea of "due diligence". Many laws (in the US especially) revolve around this concept. The basic gist is, has the concerned party taken "reasonable" (vague on purpose to adapt to evolving circumstance) action to comply with the law. In the instance of serving alcohol, everyone carries an id and carding is judged to be the level of "reasonable" action; in contrast, on the internet where access to identifying info is much sparser, user verification makes the cut.

It's not a contract being form, it's the company in question performing the minimum viable verification to protect themselves from liability.

> there wasn't much difference between the major political parties

That's not my understanding of 20th century politics at all. You'll need to elaborate on what qualifies as "much difference". Roe V. Wade, for example, happened right in the middle of the 20th century.
The short version:

* 'event driven' things like Node.js got popular because they use fewer resources to serve the same amount of data (generally). But for a lot of people, JS is not really their idea of a good time. Erlang (and Go) fill this niche pretty well.

* Elixir finally made Erlang more palatable to more people. Jose has done a superb job with it, because it's not just a nicer syntax, there is a bunch of nice stuff he's built into it. It doesn't hurt that as a former(?) member of the Rails core team, he has a deep understanding of web programming and its requirements.

* It is solid, solid tech. There's lots of new development happening on top of, say, Elixir, like Phoenix, but the underlying system is pretty hardened.
Exactly the same thing happened to me. Diablo II, around 6th grade, asking someone to dupe an item, I gave him my items, he left the game, I was upset.

Bill Aims to Restore Consumers’ Legal Rights
What's network access like there? Is wifi widely available?
From Martin post: "However, the storage server remembers that it has already processed a write with a higher token number (34), and so it rejects the request with token 33."

This is not eventual consistency, this is refusing any new write with ID < past_ID, which requires linearizability.

Second, about eventual consistency, the Token ID even when increasing may not be casually related with the work performed while the lock is hold. if you need just a random order when there are concurrent accesses, you can lexically order the random token IDs, for what is worth.

Compare & Swap: could you argument that? If you want to avoid races in a read-modify-write scenario, you can set the token, do your work, and only write if the token is still the same, so that if your write succeed is because the state of the shared resource is still the same to when you started operating on it.
