I live in the third largest city in PA (when there's a home Penn State football game) and I agree whole-heartedly with your points. Since State College is surrounded by rural areas, it was clear that the excited voters (as a potential measure of which people will head to the polls) were for Trump.

I find it a bit ironic that there are protests against Trump in the cities as for years, the cities in PA have determined how the state voted. In an election where the rural constituent was finally mobilized, it's like they're throwing tantrums because they didn't get their way.

As a US citizen, I have to trust the system and believe that, while I didn't vote for Trump, he's exactly what the people want. I don't like his rhetoric but I do understand the anger of the "common man", who's watched policy driven by the self-appointed elites drives them from the middle class.

Until now they haven't stood a chance - corporate money buys policy and ensures increasing corporate profits while making the former middle class poorer. I won't say that there's not a race war going on, but I believe that part of the problem is that there's an underlying class war simmering out-of-sight.
That might have referred to the CLR and the JVM though since Clojure has targeted both runtimes from the start (although the JVM implementation is leading of course.)

This talk should go into a bit more detail about this: https://channel9.msdn.com/blogs/charles/emerging-langs-cloju...
I think one flaw is that everything happens over the weekend meaning the developer has Friday to understand everything and then be ready for Monday. Personally, I don't know half the issues I might run into when I first start a new project, and if they expect me to just "make assumptions" the solution I end up with could be miles from what the wish for (both in direction and size). If it was Monday to Friday (or Monday to Monday), there's a chance for me to ask questions, get smarter and iterate on the solution - same as I would if I was actually working.
Of course it's best to use the highest mpg you can, but the benefit drops proportionally as it gets higher, so it's harder to justify the extra expense when a lower mpg vehicle (but still relatively high) might be much less expensive to buy and maintain and possibly even have less environmental impact to manufacture.

The trucks and SUVs in OPs post are both more expensive and more material intensive than a 35 mpg sedan. I agree with you about the tradeoff as you go up the mileage scale from there, but there are lots of medium sized vehicles that just destroy trucks and SUVs on those metrics.
When Hillary lost to one of the worst candidates ever in Trump, then its her fault. But from what I seen in social media, Hillary's supporters are just blaming everyone else for the loss rather than finding fault in their candidate.

I have even seen tweets claiming all Trump's voters (60 million people) are sexist, racist etc. It could just be a simple fact that people value other things more than just sexism and racism.

Trump just sold people a better future to this voters than Hillary did. Whether he is going to solve any issues of his voters, is a different thing.
I see:-)

I think this joke in particular does have some really interesting possibilities.

Someone could make a thriller or sci-fi out of this.

How to avoid Go gotchas
Terrorism is such a low priority though, we would be much better off focusing on cutting our mortality rate from car accidents and maternal deaths during pregnancy, we would save waaaay more people from dying with much less funding.

There is no good reason we can't cut maternal deaths to under 100 versus the 670 odd deaths a year currently, we have the infrastructure, just not the willpower to save those 570 women's lives.
Our code base creates around half a gig of compilation product on every build

500MB? That's tiny in comparison to available RAM today, so I would just say use a RAMdrive and periodically write to the SSD.
Seems like a lot of good work you´ve put into your course.
Lumo, just like Planck, implements classpath emulation. You can specify colon separated paths to JARs/dirs in which Lumo will resolve requires. Take a look at `lumo -h` for all the available options.
The kit to compare it to is the PiDrive kit from WD, which costs alone more than our kit WITH case.

A normal external hard drive risks not working with a Pi. This 2.5" USB drive is optimized for low power usage, esp at startup and comes with a cable and charger which powers both the drive and Pi from a single cable.

Obviously, if you are looking for an external USB drive for your computer, this is all not relevant. But if you want to use it with a Pi or a similar board, this kit is far superior.
Yeah, figures. If it walls itself off, it is likely rubbish.
There are a number of pre-bundled libraries in Lumo. `cljs.nodejs` is actually part of ClojureScript so it's included too.

Thanks for reminding the obvious. That's very helpful nowadays.
It doesn't make me angry, but you are giving people a bad impression.

So you are not comparing The Netherlands to other countries but instead to it's past self? That isn't clear at all from your post.

And you have evidence that the crime rate is increasing?
Another one: I have only just started using Facebook. Our group, BioHackQLD, is using it as a way to easily create a web presence i.e. our website with our bookmarks. I liked that the admin set up an "Ideas" page and a "Funding Sources" page. I mean it is dead simple to add a comment with a link to a relevant webpage. Easier and zero cost.

Are you suggesting that there were no reasons to dislike Hillary? Or that misogyny and racism live on a plane above all other issues? Because in the end, the people only had two choices in this election.
In a GA approach, you'd have kept that bird AND mutate/breed offspring from it. In a NN, you often get oscillation during training.
Not parent, but also from a neighbouring country. I think as long as the landlord is not from the private sector, and there are is no language barrier for prisoners and staff, I see no reason why not to share all kinds of resources this way within the EU.

Belgium does this for Luxembourg all the time, Germany and France mostly do it symbolically (joined military forces etc.). Would like to see more of this, especially when there are monetary benefits for both sides.
How Trump won is a different question from whether Trump's voters are directly responsible for the harm that will be caused to minority groups in the next 4-8 years. Hillary can be an awful candidate and Trump's supporters can have caused harm towards people on the basis of race and gender - it's not an either/or.
well it is way cheaper than any synology solution, plus that the whole stack is open source so you can actually trust that it does what it says it does. If you care about privacy and security, that is a plus.

It also will probably be slower than most synology solutions and more manual work - we'd like to improve that of course but that means we need help as this is a community effort, not a commercial thing.
Carlos Slim's personal blog continues to generally disappoint (weasel wording since I've heard nothing but praise about their election night coverage, which could well be orders of magnitude better than most in both presentation and accuracy).

For example, lying is not a policy that will help anyone:

Last year, Sundar Pichai, Google’s chief executive, published a broad rebuke of Mr. Trump’s plan to ban Muslims from immigrating to the United States.

Trump's been quite explicit about this being a moratorium, until we can figure out a better way to do it. And the "broad rebuke" they linked to was too short in general and too biased in facts vs. feelings to take seriously. Could we at least have an acknowledgement of why anyone would take this proposal seriously? Since we're talking about California, I'll even include a hint: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_San_Bernardino_attack (an even a sane immigration policy could have prevented, our current regime didn't even try, and we have many particulars about this couple if you doubt it).

Some made very big, idealistic proposals — this being, after all, the land of disruption. On Twitter, for instance, Mr. Pishevar said he would fund a campaign to get California to secede from the nation.

And this concept is about as old as the nation itself, couching it in terms of idealism and all the good connotations of "disruption" is ludicrous. Although I suppose killing off 6-7 figures of people, as happened the last time this was attempted for real, would qualify as "disruptive".

Let me also comment on the economic idiocy of such a proposal: if it wasn't for the fashion and taste preferences of California's ruling classes being enshrined in law and regulations, it could probably feed itself, and could certainly supply its own electrical power and it's big enough, like Texas, to run its own reliable gird.

But we all know the exact opposite has happened, and going further a simple change in law could also deprive it of the Alaskan oil which the last time I checked glutted its refineries (and crude oil is not all that fungible, plus it would be much more economic to send Alaska's oil to Japan and thereabouts, they get most of their's from much further away, the law here is a remnant of the '70s insane energy policies).

Etc.; without entering a real war, which didn't, for example, happen quickly when Southern states started to succeed, the rest of the nation could bring California very low with simple embargoes like the ones I've mentioned, and that not even getting into what could be done in "cyberspace". The casus belli would be the inevitable, even required refusal of cash strapped California to shoulder it's share of the outstanding nation debt at the time of succession.

"Media which got everything wrong will now tell you all the things that will happen as a result of the thing they said wouldn't happen."
>good wage even by US (but maybe not SV) standards but getting the very best people.

60k$/year easily gets you top talent in places like eastern Europe and Asia - that's like entry level for the US, when you equate for skills I would guess it's almost always a 2x difference even in low cost US places.

The biggest thing about US was that it offers highest wages and it's a center for tech globally so it's really easy to attract skilled immigrants and so top people often emigrate - if you crack down on that well you suddenly made outsourcing better both because cost and the top talent availability.
Cannabis is technically a white-listed illegal substance, for which the possession, consumption, and sale is legal up to certain thresholds. Amusingly, the sellers require a license and are not supposed to purchase stock to sell. Viz. The cannabis being sold is appearing out of thin air!
I recently switched to Wall Street journal and I have been impressed by their reporting on politics. I felt like they reported objectively on this election, at least to the point where a bias was not distinguishable.

Their tech news are also really good - you end up reading lots of stories that will be on the front page of HN throughout the day.

> I have no idea how to fix this.

I think this is the responsibility of "the media". They should be the ones looking at the "truth" from all sides and presenting a equidistant picture.

It's just that we don't have "media" anymore, they're all just tools for delivering advertising.

Media has moved to the Internet - "social media" which doesn't yet have a clearly defined role/goal in society.

It has an impact allright, but not necessarily intended, it just kind of happened by itself.

Now the responsibility is on these Internet companies to implement the proper information dissemination algorithms, otherwise we might end up with civil wars all over the world.

For example, if you follow a "democrat" leader, Facebook should force you to follow a "republican" leader too.

In general, whenever there's something divisive, these tools should "push" opposing views to you as well, in order to avoid the formation of "echo chambers".

Why the focus on the Raspberry Pi? I've got one on my desk finally after years of using OrangePi PC's in prod environments at businesses, and the Raspberry Pi just seems limited with the shared I/O and lack of support for any kind of libre stack.

Currently testing out an OrangePi Plus 2E strapped to a touchscreen to replace the all in ones we use for another product, with good results thus far.

That sounds like a great way to do it; if I were an applicant, I would have liked process. (I am currently looking for jobs, and do have a recent experience of an on the spot test which I just hated).

I thought I'd try your step #2: I have no idea of the wall follower rule, and no prior experience in maze solving, but did bring it home in 18 minutes.

That included figuring out this particular Blockly UI (have admittedly seen similar UI with Dash and Dot, only at a much simpler level of doing non-branching, sample tutorials with my 6 year old boy), trying to design a simple program, reaching some dead ends / observing effects, and then realising what needed to be fixed.

I did use all the blocks for 17 lines of JS though, so perhaps better ways to do it, but thanks for that interesting little challenge at any rate. :-)

I'm guessing really smart people would have it done in just a few minutes.. Also monitoring son's cough (night time in Australia) to make sure it didn't get worse, for a bit of distraction.

(Edit: Brought it down to 1 spare block / 16 lines having a 2nd look after writing this comment.)
Unfortunately, Node.js and V8 seem to be about 2.5X slower than JavaScriptCore for bootstrapped ClojureScript. I haven't found a way around it.
I also don't mean to trick anyone and this is explained in the post.

Wow... and here's me thinking my own government (UK) was useless.

So basically, the US government system doesn't care about its populous at all, regardless who sits in the big chair?
>I have no idea how to fix this.

I don't either, but I'd love to get some brainstorming started.

Some naive solutions (and, please, feel free to point out why each of them won't work -- any maybe what you'd change to get closer to a solution!):

1. News "aggregator" sites that pull from both sides of the spectrum -- though people would probably just pick and choose which articles they read and which they raged over (assuming they didn't just revert back to CNN/Fox immediately)

2. Some neutralizing layer on top of all news sites that pulls out glittering generalities, biased phrasing, etc -- though you'd still have the issue of which stories are being reported on, and those "neutered" articles could easily be less interesting to read (and of course this would be difficult to get right, but I don't think difficulty to implement should be a barrier to trying something)

3. Some gamification of understanding and debate, that rewards people for taking the time to read posts from the other side and thoughtfully sharing their opinions on why they agree/disagree, or pairs people up with someone in private to have a discussion over it (just saw something on HN the other day for this), or something else to facilitate seeing things from someone else's POV

4. A more traditional game (as in, actually a game) that mirrors the real world (in the same way the Stock Market Game mirrors stock market prices) in which you play as someone with a different point of view (e.g. you're given a fictional character and role-play as them) and try to make compromises with other players to achieve peace in an evolving fictional world

One other question is this: how do we get people to want to escape their echo chambers? Many people enjoy or are just fine being surrounded by people that agree with them. Lots of people actually go out of their way to remove those who disagree with them (as is popular on e.g. Facebook and G+ right now). How do we convince people that, yes, sometimes it's good to hear dissenting ideas?

I see so many people upset right now, and it's clear there's a myriad of deep-set problems at work that can't be fixed with a simple bandaid solution. It's frustrating when you see a problem like this and have no idea how to fix it.
Cheers, they make much more sense now!
unless, of course, you care about security or a project that is, well, alive... There have been 1 or 2 commits in the last month so I wouldn't bet my data on it.

But I'm hopelessly biassed, working for Nextcloud, so please check github for yourself when you pick a solution for your data - at least look at the pulse over the last week or month before you pick a solution. If you don't know it, here is ours: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pulse
it shows you the activity in the project. For comparison, this is bad: https://github.com/haiwen/seafile/pulse

Again, I'm biassed, so make your own conclusion, don't rely on mine. I'm just pointing the way.
The other answers posted here are not quite right. Light energy is indeed inherently quantized, and a photon is one quantum of light. In other words, you can't have a half-photon of light, only even multiples.

Einstein wrote the equation "E = h*(nu)", where h is the so-called "Planck's constant", and nu is the frequency of light. Translated, this means that each photon carries an amount of energy proportional to its frequency, higher-frequency photons (IR -> red -> blue -> UV -> X-ray) carry more energy.

tl;dr: Quantization is an inherent property of light.

Ask HN: How to teach/learn advanced programming?
Hi HN,

How did you learn advanced programming? What's the way to teach programming? You can assume an Introduction to Programming course is required to enroll in this course.

This semester we used: a large homework every 2-3 weeks and a short assignment in class every week (in random groups of 2). At the end of the semester we'll have a written exam.

Language: Python
Contents: OOP (and modeling), basic Data Structures, Functional programming (map, reduce, filter, lambdas, generators), meta programming, exceptions, testing, threading, PyQt, I/O, Networking, Webservices and Regex

PS: I'm not teaching this course, but I'm a TA

Thanks!
I didn't intend to suggest throwing out the FDA. I was just making a point that, like everything, it isn't perfect and can be improved.

The point that EpiPen was given temporary monopoly by the FDA was almost completely lost in most of the news stories I read. It's a facet of the story that I think is important, but left out.

To be an informed citizenry, we need to know all the angles and be able to filter the BS. Kudo's to NPR for bothering to get the full story.
Business journalism typically comes with less partisanship when it comes to reporting politics. But my partisan, naive assumption would be that they cover subjects like TPP, the DAPL, and social security privatization from a very biased point of view.

Given the perfect play reported elsewhere, this suggests that the holes are just tall enough to accomodate a single flap, so the network essentially just has to learn the less-than function and then tune the threshold.

edit: With sigmoid or hard-threshold activation, this function is really simple to implement. If we want to flap iff bird is lower than pipe, we can do that with no hidden layers and a weight vector of [1 -1]. I'd be curious to see someone fork and implement this.
This is why I read both, although it gets painful at times, and that goes for both sides.

If you can not understand somebody, if you can not speak and understand their language, if you can not use words they way they do, then you have no chance of communicating with them.
I voted for Trump. The majority of my media is CNN, NPR, and occasionally progressive radio (when I'm trying to figure out what narratives are important to the left).

I do not listen/watch/read Breitbart, Alex Jones, Fox News, Drudge. I don't consider Fox to be a "conservative news outlet" either; I put them in the establishment propaganda bucket.

YOUR THE 4th size city still :) The Penn State community boasts that during home games at State College the stadium is the 4th largest city by "population" in the state. It follows Philadelphia (1,517,550), Pittsburgh (334,563), Allentown (118,032), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaver_Stadium

I worked the polls for 5 hours. I asked everyone going in to the gym to play basketball if they voted. I got two responses from the players. A) "Of course I voted" B) F* that B

Yup, Elm isn't actually hard to learn. Nor is Scala (I had a team of people productive with it in under 2 weeks, with no significant prior FP experience).
I'm not in America, but I am English and have watched similar events happen with Brexit and the impression I get is this is about rejecting the status quo, not about what comes in its place.

Sanders said "Take power from the 1%". Trump said "Make America great again". Hillary said "America is already great".

Which of those statements will resonate with the people who have been struggling for years and can't see much hope for their children? Which of those statements gives the impression that the candidate doesn't understand that so many people are actually struggling?
