Here's how I see his point.

He came to Elm expecting a Haskell for the web. Elm has the completely opposite philosophy of keeping things simple, even if it means extra boilerplate.

I can understand OP's frustration, but if he watched a few of Evan's talks (like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSjbTC-hvqQ), he would realise his expectations about Elm are wrong. Also, he forgot that Elm (just like any other open source project) doesn't owe him anything. That's why many people take an issue with his tone.

In summary, Elm's target audience are JavaScript developers. It's developers who want their apps to be more robust and easier to refactor than in plain JavaScript. Sure, type classes are useful but they also increase complexity. Evan wants to see if there's a better solution and the Elm community generally accepts that.
That would be worth it.

And in fairness to Nate, he was saying the polls were about 42 Trump 45 Clinton with ~13% undecided and those undecideds could send the election either way. With hindsight I'd say quite a few undecideds were Trump supporters who were afraid to admit it which I can understand. Just look at the reaction to Theil backing Trump with various calls for him to be fired. I can see why people kept quiet about it.
Or for those countries to stop leaking talent to the US, at least.
Very true. I run my own business and so get the best of both worlds (UK salary, Lisbon cost of living) but it would be a harder choice if I was in my twenties and earning locally. I sincerely hope that will change for the better over the next few years as the Lisbon tech scene continues to mature.

It's really not clear it actually exists. Both the 2015 general election and Brexit misses were primarily due to turnout modeling problems: people accurately reported which candidate they preferred, but different groups turned out in different numbers than had happened historically, so the (educated) guess about who would actually vote turned out to be wrong.

The British Polling Council postmortem is a very interesting read. They considered 'shy Tory' but once again ended up ruling it out.
> If anything, in 20 years, we could witness the end of capitalism as we know it because we can produce more with less employment, assuming current tech trends continue.

I have to wonder if a capitalist like Trump can be of much help with such a transition.
In January of this year the FAA announced that 300k drones have been registered in the first 30 days since the drone registration requirement went public. I can't find any newer numbers on that though.
True.

And let's not forget that the GamerGate fiasco shared a lot of things in common with Brexit and Trump's presidency in how the media covered it too. The media tried to attack people over and over while painting those it disagreed with as bigots, and it worked about as poorly then as it did with this election and Trump supporters.

But no, same general pattern occurred with both Brexit and Trump, with similar results.

Germany is not afraid of their culture though. I'd say that they are the only country in the world who had the guts to look back and understand what went wrong.

There's a part of their history that they are not proud of, but on the other hand there's so much that they can take pride in.
To again be fair to 538, they are pretty clear that their model is based on polling data, at least in their "polls only" model, which I think they put more emphasis on than their "polls plus" model. Maybe next cycle, they'll do more work on that plus model to account for more factors or maybe this truly was an outlier election, which happens every so often.
Syria has been Russias client state for decades. We wouldn't have had Brexit, the flooding of the EU with migrants and now Trump if the US didn't decide at some point to try and flip Syria by supporting the most radical Syrian psychopaths it could find.

Well that one failed spectacularly. At least with Trump you can be quite sure that when he finds out who exactly gave the order to support these terrorist groups in Syria, and he will get access to that information soon, then he will lock these people up for life or they might even face charges for treason.

There's tons of jobs in Canada that pay better then software jobs in North Dakota... But in pure dollar amount, you're not going to beat a Google or Facebook job in SV. Best you could do is work remotely for an SV company.

That said, remember that if you're an actual american citizen, they will tax your foreign income and a programmer with a lot of experience can hit revenues where they actually have to remit money to the IRS in addition to the cost of compliance (which can itself be significant.)
> Imagine if you did dev on Julia - how do you hire devs?

Julia doesn't take long to learn if you've ever written any Python, or Matlab, or R. It's very good at calling into existing code written in other languages (the above, and C) so it's possible to transition gradually.

> I'm also curious to know 'how much faster' it is - couldn't those performance problems be solved with more horsepower?

Depends on the exact type of computation. If everything you're doing is straight BLAS/LAPACK or other library calls, then Python is just glue code and not taking much of the time. If you're implementing your own custom algorithms (or writing libraries) that are difficult to express in a vectorized way (where numpy just does the work in C) or you want more customized data structures and types than dense arrays of single or double precision floating point numbers, Julia will do well. There are various projects out there that try to make Python faster (PyPy, Numba, Pyston, Pyjion, the list seems to grow every few months) but it's a very difficult problem to do in full generality since you either have to restrict yourself to a subset of the language where the semantics permit optimizations, or lose compatibility with all the C-extension libraries you're used to. Julia has designed the language semantics and the conventions of the standard library to be more amenable to optimization. It's early days yet in terms of multithreading support, but Julia has a better story there as well.

For a representative performance comparison case study, see section 4 of https://arxiv.org/pdf/1312.1431v1.pdf. There have been similar experiences reported and published in other application areas since.

Pretty hard to not look down on those people when you know that the facts are on your side, since for certain things there are established facts. I wouldn't be ready to be patient with someone who thinks the moon is made out of cheese or something.

But I suppose the article is still right and competent politicians should have the empathy to relate even to those people. I couldn't do it.
Is it just the quest for ratings or is it outright advocacy for a position? (Probably both, but...)

It seemed (to me) to be that for Brexit and for the US Presidential election, the majority of the media outlets, the editorials, the analysts and the poll pushers all had a preferred outcome and were going to shame your character/honor/morals/intelligence if you didn't fall in line with their brand of right-thinking people.

Did you not also find that to be the case?

And, if you do, don't you think that the media (over time) is squandering any power-through-position it may have accumulated by this outright advocacy?
Building Accessible Software – A Primer
That could have been presented much more clearly in the article.

It would be interesting to compare with the opinion/experience of someone who didn't know Haskell, well, right? (Though in that case perhaps the learning curve is too steep, maybe Elm isn't meant for that.)

MMP can actually over-represent minority interests by putting minor parties in power-broking positions. But I agree it's an overall improvement.
We use Multi-regional, Regional, DRA, Nearline and Cloudline. NewRelic doesn't differentiate between the buckets. It only provide an average across all request to storage.googleapis.com. However, since you now are promising sub-second access time for all storage classes it still wouldn't explain it.

Don't you agree that it's odd to only include HTTP 500 errors in the error rate? Let's say someone hacks your DNS servers and points storage.googleapis.com to 127.0.0.1. Then the entire service would be down completely but according to your SLA you'd have 100% up time.

American white guilt appears to me to be of national scope.
> This is what Hillary supporters would like to portray about any Trump voter...

Seems like it's the other way round: people who views Trump as the candidate of racists end up supporting Hillary.
I don't think evidence would help at this point. The only solace I have is thinking that a petty, vindictive person won't be able to unravel decades of positive strides in the global arena. Either way, we are now left to the whims of a 'hopefully' unknown person.

Warning - Rationalization ahead:
I would like to think that the reason for a lot of the petty jabs were to dominate the echo chamber for his own benefit. Is it possible to think that he is an ego-maniacal self serving sociopath? Absolutely.

But, is it also possible to believe that he used the system against itself to further his candidacy and tap into a deep seated anger within the population? Probably.

And do we really think he wants to watch the world burn? Doubtful.
It has a dictator for life, but given the article doesn't seem like the B is earned yet :P
I would say that the US is pretty much unique in this respect, and you would experience the same tradeoffs in most (all ?) of Western countries outside of it.

Even in countries where gross salaries are comparable, you would pay a ton more taxes.

Personally is a tradeoff I'm willing to make, as I believe what is sacrificed in financial terms is returned as increased social peace, but of course it's a matter of preference.

It left me wondering: is it possible at all to make it better? Is it the result of lousy programming? Or is the thread just too big and as such there's not much to do?

I'm surprised by how many of my non-US friends are calling Americans 'Stupid' right now on social media for voting for Trump.

I think that the Trump victory actually shows the opposite; that Americans are smart enough to think for themselves regardless of what the media tells them.

They got to the meat of the information without buying into all the spin that the media put around it.

I strongly disagree with several things that Trump stands for but I think that overall this is a really good outcome. It shows that the people are still in control - Not the media, not the celebrities, not the elites.

That is reassuring.
i know this is a popular talking point in tech forums, the whole "when does a startup stop being a startup when they have more employees than etc etc"

personally, i think the point where a startup becomes a company is very clear: the point where the company's core business is able to provide sustainable positive cash flow. i believe that as long as a company is still in the "burn rate" phase where instead of trying to figure out where they can squeeze more profits, they're simply trying to figure out how long they can keep running with what money they have left, then they're firmly still in the startup phase.
This says more about you than about the American public in general. My brother and his wife, and many of the people with whom I work, are not "disgusting misogynistic racist pigs". Actually I know many more Trump voters than disgusting racist pigs.

The media really couldn't help it, however. Every president from here on out will be a reality show star. Look for Chris Christie to get a show as soon as he gets booted out of the cabinet for another ethical lapse. Chelsea and Ivanka will both start new shows (perhaps together?) in about a decade.

Not merely a lot (in Sweden, anyway) - I'd say the vast majority of Swedes are fluent in English; of course more or less so but I don't think I've ever met a Swede who couldn't at the very least hold a basic conversation in English.

And that goes for authorities too. Had a non-Swedish partner for a few years who always communicated in English in all interactions with Sweden's governmental services - no problem. All important government websites are available in English. Knowing Swedish isn't even a requirement for citizenship.

So while knowing Swedish is certainly very beneficial and recommended, you can certainly get by without it, and work for many interesting companies (at least as a developer).

My email is in my profile if you or anybody else wanted to talk about BOTNS and why there's a deep connection between Peter Thiel's ideas and those of Gene Wolfe.

I don't think it is a coincidence that Wolfe was an engineer during the same period that Thiel has been scrutinizing. There are many intriguing connections. The energy crisis in oil, the rejection of nuclear energy (the New Sun). I fancy I see allegory. Maybe I'm mad but I am fascinated by both sets of ideas and cannot help seeing a wonderful marriage. ;-)

Btw, Twitter definitely has the potential to rival and I think, dominate, AP and Reuters if they design the business that way. Just need a reliable way to decide trust worthiness of the tweet/source, and a way to put context around a tweet or a bunch of tweets so the headline can be derived from the tweets.
Why not?

Trump and Hillary had historically high unfavourable ratings, and Bernie is quite popular. The socialist label was worn out somewhat on Obama, so it doesn't carry the same sting. He doesn't have anywhere near the baggage that Hillary does, and had policies to address some of the white working class concerns of the rust belt, and shared some of Trump's skepticism about free trade offshoring jobs. He would've gotten all of the "anyone but Trump" votes (as Hillary did), plus he had a bloc of genuinely excited voters who enthusiastically supported him till the end, potentially meaning greater turnout. Not saying he would definitely win, but in head to head polling he did better vs Trump than Hillary did.
I probably compare out of habit. I'm American and am immigrant here in Norway - I note differences, and the stuff that is similar isn't so noteworthy. Neither system is perfect.

I think we worry for nothing about his campaign promises. I guess he's a sociopath and a con man. He doesn't give a shit about what he's promised. Before he won he was going to jail Hillary, but now he says that "we all" owe her.
