I'm not sure why the hostility but you are entitled to your opinion; it's really not the performance that makes Elixir better for me (it's everything else - I come from a Python background and I'm just so so tired of the GIL) and I haven't suggested rewriting any working apps in it!

I am well aware that Elixir is different than Ruby, even though it borrows some great syntax ideas!

Here's the freaking problem, from tfa:

But rather than seeing culture as patriarchy, which is to say a conspiracy by men to exploit women, I think it’s more accurate to understand culture (e.g., a country, a religion) as __"an abstract system that competes against rival systems"__ (emphasis mine).

Why! Why is everything a bloody competition. This Baumeister character can't even escape this construct.

The problem is that we are told that live evolved by natural selection and survival of the fittest by out competing other rivals in it's niche. Or at least that's how the popular story goes.

And we've internalised this as a structure and caused it to permeate every bloody thing we do.

Why is everything a competition? Until we develop and internalise a world-view that sees that life thrives where it cooperates we will continue to decimate everything on this planet in an effort to out-compete our rivals. We will turn everything into a competition between everyone, the Left & Right sides of politics, male against female, all competing for limited resources.

Are you really this naive?
I always have a problem with not dog fooding. If we're building UIs and such then we should use them, learn from them, etc. Yes. Absolutely. They sometimes have limits. But scarcity breeds innovation. It's hard to imagine in 2017 that we're accepting CLI as innovation. That's just feels too silly to me.
>Might be better than nothing, but if you are designing a reusable API, you'll be better using it on some real code.

This is generally why I take the top down approach to coding:

1) Write ultra high level test

2) Write code that implements it.

3) In that code if I need something lower level, write the API that I want

4) Write a lower level test that mirrors what I just wrote in real code.

5) Implement the code that passes that test & use it at the higher
level.

etc.
The anti-war voices of both the Right and the Left have been marginalized by the Center for a very long time. Do you really believe that Mrs. Clinton is anti-war? Or even Mr. Obama (Nobel Peace Prize notwithstanding)?

You are correct, however, that middle America tends to be more honest about their perspectives on aggressive US foreign policy. Many liberals would say "yes, the US should get out of the Middle East" but then they pull the lever for a rather hawkish presidential candidate.

> if they have job skills for jobs that don't exist anymore it's as if they don't have job skills at all.

Exactly this. At the risk of reductio ad absurdum, would anyone consider the ability to write (not compositional writing, just literally the ability to put a pen down on paper and form letters) a "marketable job skill" any more? Not likely, since that skill can be replaced by a $60 printer what doesn't need a salary.
Yes I think that's obviously true; I'm definitely not advocating huge app rewrites if that wasn't clear!

The respectable Republicans distanced themselves from Trump

But that shouldn't really matter, as both sides know it was all about posturing and publicity. Just like Trump is (hopefully?) going to be a much more reasonable president than his campaign antics would lead you to believe, so he can work with the respectable Republicans in a much better way than their campaign behaviour would you lead to believe.

Twenty-three days ago [..]

And one year ago Trump suggested the plurality vote should determine the presidency, in which case he would have lost.

Neither he nor his supporters will agree to that now, nor will he acknowledge he was wrong. And there will be no consequences.

Most people only have eye for short term problems, don't have a good memory or good associative capabilities and don't think beyond the outcome they hope for.

Even if you are aware of longer term problems, consequences and have a good memory, you may still choose to pursue short term goals in your opinion-making, because those listening to you want you to address their immediate concerns. You don't need to worry about contradicting yourself or causing new problems: they won't notice.

So congratulations on remembering that an action/proposal/opinion of 23 days ago opposes one now. Did you also realize back then what the consequences in face of an adverse outcome would be? That would be an extreme ability of foresight. And unfortunately it doesn't make a lick of difference.
They can fact check whatever they want, it's their site. It's stupid but people that should leave to greener pastures, it's not like in the beginning there was Facebook and we're bound to use that forever.

The problem is people want to 1) trust blindly and 2) not be taken advantage of that. You can only have one of those.

They threw the European Americas overboard as 'irredeemable deplorable'.

Eh, no, half weren't irredeemable fit only for liquidation, half were judged capable of being reeducated.

That's important to the extend fewer people believed they belonged in the irredeemable camp, those of us who did got "crawl over broken glass" motivated to vote against Hillary.

How are you going to bring that back to a 'Center'? Is there even a center for the Democrats anymore that includes The Constitution and the Declaration of Independence that was written by White Men who owned Slaves?

Disrespect for both documents long precedes the identity politics that now condemn them, so I'm not sure it's a new thing so much as a new excuse.

I don't think there's any bringing back that center, at least for the foreseeable future. It takes only one side polarizing things enough (for the purposes of my point, it doesn't matter which side you think did it), to where both sides view those in the middle who claim to belong to their side as traitors.
It's called «freelancing». It's way cheaper and worse than outsourcing.
This is true. I live in the Midwest, voted for Obama twice, but saw that for the most part the government just kept on screwing the rest of us. Didn't matter who we elected, we never got "change". I didn't vote for Trump, but the people I know who did, voted for him because he appeared to be a serious wrench that we could throw into the machine.

People are tired of bombing campaigns, corporate welfare, and feeling like they don't have a say or don't have control over their government. These states Hillary lost: Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, she lost because they didn't feel like she was going to do anything different than her predecessor. And it's true. She wouldn't have.
It was at one point. While a little troll-y still a fun thing to consider.
>That comment described an attitude that reaches the very top of the modern left, as the many accusations of sexism against anyone who didn't vote for Clinton show.

The modern left voted for, donated to and campaigned for Bernie, who also had the accusations of sexism slung at him. That was the establishment lashing out.

They also tested the anti-semitic accusations, though no doubt they fell flat because he was Jewish:

Agriculture jobs never went anywhere.

There are still millions of jobs in agriculture and construction, but they are now poorly paid because they are performed by people who aren't protected by employment laws and have no negotiating power.

The only change that needs to be made is forcing agriculture and construction companies to obey the law.
I like anecdote time!

When I was very young I had this job where I would go to people's houses to repair their computers. What I would often find would be computers so slow to the point of being unusable. After a few months I'd realized there were only two scenarios here:

- Computer full of spyware. CleanUp / Restore and anti-spyware + anti-virus installation would often work wonders for the customers.

- Computer running Panda Antivirus. Uninstalling Panda and installing Avast would always work wonders for the customers. Best thing was when they've asked how I solved their problem so quickly and I replied "uninstalling Panda". "But I paid for it" would be their response, to which I would follow up with a "call them and get a refund".

Anti-virus, what an interesting industry!
I'd really like to know more information about the vulnerability but can't seem to find anything online.

> I promise not to argue against you, and certainly not to slur you.

Please argue! And thank you for not slurring :)

> Would you be willing to articulate your argument for Trump here?

I supported Obama. I always considered myself a liberal. I support gay marriage, I support gun control. I support universal health care. I support decent welfare and a safety net.

As a programmer, the formative moment for my Trump support came when a prolific open-source developer was forced to leave the community because he would not accept a trivial change to the documentation to change gendered pro-nouns to non-gendered pro-nouns. His reason was he didn't want to mess up the revision history with a trivial change like that. And he was from South America where nouns are all gendered anyway. But one of the big companies came out and said that "they would have fired him". http://www.dailydot.com/news/github-gendered-pronoun-debate/

This was non-sensical to me, and was bullying. But I soon realised that this overly sensitive behaviour had pervaded all walks of life and all aspects of society and I soon discovered the cliched political correctness run wild with third-wave feminist bloggers, social justice, Black Lives Matter protesting of clearly non-racially motivated attacks, and that was it.

Its ironic that my biggest reason for voting Trump is to stop the bullying from the left - who are protesting against...bullying (sexism, misogyny, racism).

One side is for freedom of speech, the other side is for controlling what you can say.

One side thinks controlling what you can say will be abused and unfairly target people, the other side thinks that freedom of speech is a means of control by the entitled.

There's a calm, complex, and nuanced debate to be had here to find a middle ground.

But unfortunately there is no Liberal ready to accept that this is the debate that needs to be had.

The alt-right, the new right, the Trump supporters - we are ready and waiting to have this debate...

Honestly if you're new like you said (blank slate), I'd recommend using Docker for your development. Get comfortable with the idea of containers first. Start with one, then try using more (your app, redis, rabbit, etc all containerized... but personally I run DB locally).
>Well you believe the premise of the ideology, so you are a part of it. Unsurprising that you think it is useful, that is what it claims.

You believe in the premise of your claims so you are part of them - unsurprising you think they are true... :-)

No - the only premise and "ideology" I believe in is that truth should be sought after, suffering should be minimised and happiness should be maximized. I find all other ideologies to be just various attempts to implement this base ideology from different contexts, and granted, not all them are perfect for achieving this. Sometimes, they even achieve the opposite.

You might be surprised to know that there are plenty of things in the way feminism is sometimes interpreted that rub me the wrong way (you even mentioned some of them), but I think you're confusing the implementation with the goal. Feminism is defined as "the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men". This doesn't mean that women should be men. All it means to me is that if any woman as an individual is capable and interested in doing a "man's job" she should have an equal opportunity to do so and receive an equal compensation. Do you really have an issue with that?
> The fact is, Hillary was such a poor candidate that even Trump was able to defeat her. Just accept it and move on.

This is false. It has nothing to do with Hillary.

> The false narrative in tfa is another example of denial. How could Trump win unless everyone in the midwest is a racist homophobe?

The false narrative is that Trump was a strong candidate. On the contrary, I'm betting he knew exactly how to play the game. Democrats have always had a hard time getting a 3rd term. They've only done it twice since 1836. The so-called keys to the White House pointed to a Republican victory. Trump is a sales man, he knew that the average American voter doesn't want to listen to policy, but rather catchy phrases that are vague patriotic ("I like Ike"). He is a weak candidate who knew how to work the system for a win. He's now filling his cabinet with people who shouldn't be there (Ben Carson, Sarah Palin, Rudy Guiliani), because the reality is he doesn't care one bit about policy or being the president. In their desire for "change" voters have managed to elect a person who doesn't care about them and whose apathy is going to do a lot of harm.
> I'm even happy they gave it a new name (Flux) because MVC frankly has gotten way too many definitions.

Sad because there are too many definitions? Nothing a new name can't fix!
Because politicians don't represent you, they represent the people paying their bills.

Sounds simplistic but if you look at the system as a whole, ask who its benefitting the most, doesnt seem to be the electorate.

We have the same problem in the UK, it got us Brexit and you folks Trump.

As Michael Moore said when he predicted a trump win, "It's the biggest fuck you they can send".
Pretty good find.
The Trump victory looks a lot like Occupy Wall Street, I think, but the mainstream version.
> this should be easy to see from the data because robopolls should be vastly more accurate than live polls

The same pattern is observed in other countries regardless of polling method or polling company.

So unless Clinton has been rigging polls world-wide for decades in anticipation of her 2016 run, it seems more plausible that people don't trust pollsters.
It's not a "wealthy black man" they hired. It's a qualified black man, or woman, or anyone. Why is it that everyone is totally for the free market until it turns against them?

How about we let the government pay to upgrade your education so you can get qualified like the others? (literally two of the major candidates' platforms)
"NO! that's socialism"

So the approach is: When running straight into the wall doesn't work (i.e. ignoring the issues and simply calling everyone "stupid", "racist", etc.), we must try harder (we must fight them)! Okaaaayyyy...
Too little, too late.

Disclaimer: I'm a Ruby developer.

Making Ruby 3 times faster is not going to save it. It's just way, way behind the raw performance of other programming languages. Also, with the arrival of new, modern programming languages, there isn't that many productivity reasons anymore to justify the poor performance and lack of sane concurrency.

I love Ruby, the programming language, but I kind of start seeing that others haven't been idle and there are some growing ecosystems that can soon leave Ruby behind. It kind of feels like Perl back in the day: it was still a good programming language when it started losing ground.

We, Rubyists, have seen a lot of talented people leave both the Ruby and Rails core teams. You see them go to other, younger communities, making them bloom. In the meantime, the Ruby ecosystem seems stale and lacking fresh ideas.

The other problem is that there is not a single company that will throw as much money as it takes to improve the language, as happens with JavaScript, Python or PHP.

I am not trying to say that Ruby or Rails are a thing of the past and shouldn't be used. They are still great tools and put in the right hands can give your company / project huge productivity and more-than-acceptable performance. But there is a time for everything, and I think that the golden years of Ruby are gone.

Reading this comment is a perfect synopsis for this election. The article is about rural america and a bubble and lack of understanding between the 2 circles. Your comment focuses on the virtues of hiring someone black or a white women versus a poor white man. It's an axe to grind about the left rather than anything related to the article. Why is this guy hiring anyone? What does that have to do with anything? When is a wealthy black man or white woman up for the same job as poor white male? What does that comment have to do with anything? Give me one tangible example how your setup happens in the real world.

It's all imagined and fantasy, like somehow liberals have set the world up that this poor white guy from rural America is getting screwed to hire a wealthy black guy or wealthy white woman. Let me guess, Obama is the wealthy black man, Hillary is the wealthy white woman, and Donald Trump is somehow the standin for rural poor white guys everywhere.

And what is with the comments about Indians? Are we talking Indians from India or Native Americans. Who is demanding we replace black people with indian people. Where are they over represented? What the hell are you talking about? It doesn't make any sense, the same way Trump made no sense during the debates.

You really read 1000 articles? Post them 5 of them, let's see them.

You could have spent some time talking about Nafta or free trade or automation or god knows what and made some sense of this election. Michael Moore had a clip about how the free trade and nafta and rural america is hurting and predicted that Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio and Pennsylvania would go for Trump. It's incredible and relevant.

But you didn't. You spent all your time railing against race issues and coastal social elites. And in your effort to rail against those wealthy coastal social elites you elected someone who was wealthy and lived in coastal city.

I'm getting tired of the navel gazing over the post election analysis. I have a family member who voted for Trump because they can't wait till he sends Muslim out of the country and sends Mexicans back to Mexico and builds a wall. Trump said terrible things and people voted for him because he said those terrible things. In all the analysis I've read, not one person has said that.

Here's the Michael Moore clip for the record.

I disagree. The problem was that all journalists (Fox News included) used the polling as an excuse to not actually get out and do journalism. Polls should have been but one input. Instead, because most polls said what all of them wanted to believe, the effects of anchoring and confirmation biases were amplified. Anything to the contrary was dismissed as nonsense.
"Not voting for Clinton" is not what is leading to accusations of sexism. It's the voting for two old guys with documented - and often blatantly related - sexist attitudes as well as policy goals.
The main bubble that burst was that of the people who thought trump was a joke, no?

Are fed up people really the medias failure? Bernie Sanders also had surprising support for similar reasons to Trump: they both where going against the system.

Just for some discussion: maybe the classic media finally lost control and people regained some freedom of choice? Every big media house was against trump and he still won.

And let's not forget that a lot of people really had to jump their shadow to vote for Hillary as the lesser evil.
You should consider reading the HN guidelines.

In your case, "Are you really this naive?" can be shortened to "".

A nearly year-old and fairly active user with a few thousand karma, making a point that you don't agree with via a phrase which you don't like. No doubt the black man from whom I learned it was racist. But of course it's always far easier to reflexively attempt to suppress, than to engage.

I have gathered the impression in my time here that talking about moderation actions isn't really the done thing. In any case, I see no very probable way in which doing so will add value to the discussion, so you're welcome to the last word if you feel the urge to have it.
