Tech media as well as news outlets are becoming (maybe they alway were) a sewer. I somehow understand you write praises for and don't seem to notice bad things about Hillary, but tech press writes reviews of laptops and cameras, that if I didn't know better I would believe. Apple Macbook, Fujifilm T something, have serious flaws and not a peep from them.

Gizmodo used to be laughing stock, but now I feel like most of main tech outlets are oblivious to real world. Verge just can't report anything substantial.

This is just establishment trying to pin the blame and understand how they didn't manage to manipulate people into doing what they wanted us to do.
This is good, I agree, but I have one major criticism: no mention of safety concerns for running non-rechargeable lithium batteries like the CR123 in series.

There are some true horror stories out there from people who have suffered chemical burns and permanent lung damage, even hydrogen fluoride poisoning just from operating those normally, with a manufacturing fault in one of the cells.
And also not very enforceable in some areas. I got legal advice on this from my own attorney some 20 years ago. I had created a piece of software on the side while working under a contract that said something similar. The software took off and I was worried about it. He advised me that worst case would be paying the company the money I earned while under that contract, but even that was a stretch.
>Is that how they want to show the rest of America the way forward?

Just because you win an election doesn't mean suddenly everyone is forced to agree with your odious views.

The way forward for them is to protest and point out the flaws in the Trump policies and his presidency. To pressure the electorate and politicians that, no we aren't on board with a radical conservative restructuring of our society. Don't expect to suppress dissent with some kind of bullshit "respect the office" argument. Democracies thrive on disagreement and political change. These people are engaging in their right to self-assembly and protest. It will not go away. Trump supporters will need to deal with this. Its clear that you're trying to legitimize a novelty protest vote via this kind of 'concern troll' attitude and it just won't work. People aren't going to suddenly roll with the Trump agenda because you want everyone to play nice.

I think you have to realize that political change isn't about winning one election. The process involves and endless push back via many mechanisms, including protest.
I asked for an argument against current levels of immigration that was neither based primarily on economic considerations nor racist/xenophobic. I really don't think there is any such argument. Unless you're really saying that people are opposed to immigration because they're worried about houses being built on the greenbelt.
No, lock him up to prevent him committing more crimes.

You might call them "petty" crimes as if they are nothing, but to the person involved they are a very big deal.

I'm pretty sure vi itself, or at least vim, is fine with binary files. You can run it as `vim -b` or `:set binary`.
As someone who came from a single parent family of two boys... I am 40, I have had depression for much of my life. We didn't have much money when I was growing up. I was in the scouts and did the Duke of Edinburgh Award. The single biggest lessons I learned from both are:

1. When you have nothing left to give, sometimes will power and discipline are the only things left in your toolbox that will get you where you need to go.

2. Self reliance - as someone noted earlier in the thread about a cyclist "there is only one way home." It also gave me the skills and a sense of confidence in my ability to survive without any of the trappings of city life. If shit falls to pieces, as having depression has proven to me it can and has and could again, I know I'll survive, regardless of anything - because I have the skills, the will power and discipline to survive the worst.

So... I have a sample size of one that goes against the grain of this research. Of course, being 15% less likely doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
Trump's wall, is it built yet?
Yes. Prop 107 was to allow unaffiliated voters the opportunity to vote in primaries. Amendment 71 was the vote that would make it more difficult to amend the Colorado Constitution.

My understanding is that 71 won't restrict propositions or ballot initiatives. I read 71 as specifically restricting future amendments.

Calling someone a xenophobe isn't name calling. Calling someone a bitch or a nigger is name calling. The difference is whether the word us a critique of specific behavior, or just a general slur on the person or their identity.
FYI: criticism aimed at a certain "Enterprise" language / libraries / culture which is pretty much mandatory outside of the Bay Area.
3mb for such a software sounds amateurish. Back in old days when we used to make trojans in delphi the focus was much on file size. Pushing the limits. I remember writing the application as a console app greatly reduced the size to few kbs.

I suspect this Telegram trojan is made as .NET GUI app that hides itself

Also ‘D’ is right about being dependent on third party for communication, its never a good idea.

I'd point to the uptick in online sources like InfoWars and Breitbart and Drudge as a sign of where people are getting their news. It's rare to see any of them link to more traditional outlets.
I'm not sure that being ruled by the most passionate is actually that effective. It seems to me that passion and a lack of intelligence seem strongly correlated. It's easy to work someone who can't see the broader picture, up into a frenzy than it is to convince people with complicated and diverse views into that same frenzy. It is frankly, why the Republican party could toe the same line for decades, echo that on radio stations and TV chat shows, and consistently whip their base into a frenzy over a predictable handful of issues. By contrast Democrats had to appeal to a fundamentally more diverse base with a similarly diverse set of issues, less open to sloganeering.

There is an essential asymmetry when you value passion over knowledge of the issues, intelligence, and education.
Those are baseless assertions about made-up facts (including a fabricated quote). That's the difference between random information on the Internet and serious journalism.

The former is sensational and provokes an emotional reaction, but those don't indicate truth. IME when professional communicators, like political leaders and news sources, increase the former, it's a very good sign that they lack the latter.

Table sugar is 50%. HFCS-55 is 55%. This is not a significant difference. There is no evidence that sucrose has a different metabolic impact in humans than HFCS-55 --- any evidence would be surprising, because the human body is a ninja at separating glucose from fructose.

What is dangerous is the suggestion that sucrose is safer than HFCS; it misleads people into believing they are making a healthy choice when they drink sugared soda made with cane sugar. They are not. Sucrose in significant quantities is extraordinarily bad for you, for the same reason HFCS is!

> but these kinds of costs are the costs you have to pay to live in a democracy

Not really, we could randomly choose a few thousand people to vote and it would be practically just as effective without all the costs of having everyone vote. Better yet, you would probably get a better sample of the population too since it would not be biased towards people who normally vote.
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/apr/11/british-musl... has the 52% wanting it illegal but nothing about the 100% against lifestyle choice.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2009/may/07/muslims-britain-f... has the "100% against" figure but is from 2009 and not entirely relevant at this point.

Either way, they're both included into UK society.

Could someone enlighten me what the problem is with automated documentation systems?

Have they stopped to "just work" in creating an overview of all global variables, functions, classes and their inheritance?

I found it very convenient to just drop a few documentation strings at the function/class definition for looking it up later in the autogenerated documentation. Of course you can overcomplicate these things and waste time. But in my opinion autogenerated documentation is better than no documentation at all.
Any FreeBSD port yet?
This question comes up with dismaying frequency. What is the purpose of asking it? We can't go back in time to undo the damage, all we can do is try to work together to make things better in the time we have.

My favorite fable (塞翁失马, 2009)
So, in other words, the people of America are not capable of interpreting information when it is not tightly controlled by a small number of outlets. Therefore we, the elite that know better, need to manage this medium so that they get the information that we deem correct.

Clearly nothing has changed since Tuesday.

The US has diverse ethnic groups that homogeneously live in little enclaves. You have "white" areas and "latino" areas and so on. This is how diversity actually happens in the west.

That would be interesting. AA and NA meetings have undeniably helped a lot of people break addictions and turn their lives around. If a criminal justice system is to improve people's lives and many of these prisoners are in for drug and alcohol related reasons, it only feels logical to me that at the very least, these meetings should be an option.

Come to think of it, if it worked out, I could see non-prisoners that feel they need help or could help others out going. While NA and AA meetings have the appeal of almost always being done in private, inconspicuous locations, I'm sure that at least a few people might still attend meetings held in a hypothetical YMCA-prison. It could help with situations like these where there is a lot of extra room in the prison. This might be best suited to drug rehab facilities, but I think that the idea could work anywhere with a receptive environment. It would probably be hard to give a prison of a good image though.

According to comments here, it seems like similar systems already exist in some countries. If this is true, how effective have they been?
This article has nothing to do with that...

Clearly to attempt to limit the aggressive ad hominem that passes for discourse on the internet amongst the marketing-sensitive.

If you want to criticize Apple, say you're an Apple fan even if you're not, if you want to criticize the Cubs, say you're a Cub fan even if you're not, same if you want to criticize a Christopher Nolan movie or a policy of the current government of Spain. Some people get so steeped in a particular marketing environment that any hint of a contradiction of one of its axioms gets treated like a blasphemy that is sinful to acknowledge or listen to, and is responded to by marketing-dictated rote, not with thought.

Trump person: "I think it's good that Trump wants to get us out of TPP - why do people call them "free" trade agreements anyway when they add so many protectionist regulations on consumers, and only free capital and finance?"

> I use Atom for Rust development.

I think that sentence is funny. It also explains the hate. Ideally highly optimized tools would be used to use/create/run more user-facing, less optimized tools.
> I didn't like being called irredeemable as part of her "basket of deplorables" who "are not America".

Xenophobia, prejudice, and intolerance aren't what Clinton sees as America. If those things are what you see as America, that's your right. In which case there's an irreconcilable gap between you and Clinton and you need to accept that she's going to consider you as standing outside of those values that she has always taken for granted as broadly accepted.

Be the thing you want others to see you as, or else accept the consequences of being seen a different way. Don't be surprised or complain about it.
You'd need perfect security... I mean perfect, or that would be a trivially easy system to control. The irony that the government subject to such a process would be needed to ensure the sanctity of that process should not be lost on you.
And this is a good thing how? there are technical reforms that could be a good thing ie no unrelated amendments to motions (bills) which would stop pork being added to unrelated bills.
There are two parts to a polling prediction: predicting how each demographic is going to vote, and predicting how many of each group will show up to vote. I believe the weighting refers to the second part of the process. It appears that the groups more likely to vote for Hillary stayed home on Tuesday more than anybody predicted.

There's an article I read within the last couple of days that goes into detail about the weighting process, but I couldn't find it again.
Dealing with that at work now. Dev added to project won't use the existing structure, just recreates and pastes stuff in over and over :-(

Part of that is a political problem, of course, but was not an issue earlier.

> People used to defend writing things in assembly language for similar reasons, as a way of getting more machine sympathy. I'm not buying it.

I have to assume those people did not first learn and use C, then went to assembly, but rather the opposite ;) So, the comparaison does not apply, here.

> you're still writing the same basic SQL statements (for the 80% of your database interactions that are essentially CRUD)

It's not the case, actually. My functions are way more expressive that the crud I did with orms. With PL/pgSQL, I group several queries in a same pg function, I always do more that a simple insert or update. I also fine tune my returned fields - which most of the time are composite from several tables / computations.

This is really outsourcing all data manipulation to the database, the comparison that applies is more with a presenter/serializer than with an orm model.

Yep. Not particularly baffling in the context of a puzzle, but I could definitely see that as being a pretty fun typo to debug.

Although I'd think the syntax highlighting would typically be a little less misleading...
I wouldn't say no chance, but I definitely wouldn't go through this for some no-name "startup". It would have to be a high-profile position at a pretty exciting company.
I think it's a reply to your description of voting as one of "the costs you have to pay to live in a democracy". You don't, strictly, have to pay that cost.
That sounds an interesting concept and useful for creating instantly-usable web apps but in effect isn't your Go app being relegated to a HTTP server? eg. how would I do callbacks without doing them as some request back to the Go "server" app?
How would you create custom controls in this method? eg. if I wanted to do my own pie chart control/widget with popups etc.

It sounds like a long way around in comparison to what you can do in C/C++, ie native calls depending on the platform, or use an abstraction toolkit like wxWidgets. (Oddly C++ has done well without any native GUI toolkit of course, but at least there was native C ones to use).
I actually think we are facing real daily crises that need to be addressed. So no, I'm not going to try to sabotage my country in order to try to tarnish the Republican brand. I have work to do.
>I love pair programming

Yes, but do you love pair programming:

-with a person you met less than 5 minutes ago?

-on a non-standard programming task you've been given less than a minute to think about?

-with a person who is focused on assessing you rather than assisting you?

-with your future job at stake and potentially your ability to ever interview at that company again at stake as well?

I enjoy pair programming too but I still choke on whiteboard programming questions during interviews. And this is after 20 years in the industry.
Down the rabbit hole, part 5: Secure and private instant messaging
Seriously, the amount of helicopter parenting in this country is ridiculous. 21 year old men at my top ranked engineering school had their mothers checking their school emails for homework (I'm not making this up).

Another story: kid OD on drugs, his mom flew across the country to be by his bedside and paid the school from getting suspended

Another Story: child is depressed because he got a low first exam grade os his parents sent him to Europe to a GPA booster school for a semester to "cheer him up"

These kids are ridiculous their parents coddle them through everything and clap joyously and the slightest acheivement which they totally positioned them for.

They are depressed and completely incapable of navigating the real world. I had to break up with the one I dated because he wanted me to be his mom. Like no kid, I have a life to live do your own laundry and no I'm not going to redo your resume for you and get you a job.

This has GOT to stop. Below is an article from the Former Dean of Stanford on just this very topic: It's embarassing.

Yup, This is true of both flashlights and pocket knives. It's incredible how far both have come from simple devices to all sorts of features/materials/etc.

I agree; I want non-nillable types in Go. This despite the differences in Go that makes nil values more "valid" than they often are in other languages.

I still faintly hold out hope. Unlike many of the complaints about Go that would require fundamental restructuring, C# showed that actually can be retrofitted onto a language without breaking it.
If you look at the democratic primary maps [1], you'll see that these white rural voters were actually more progressive than their counterparts in the cities.

Look at the county maps for Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Michigan. The people in the cities there thought that Bernie was too progressive and so "unelectable" while these "backwards" racist rural voters actually voted for him.

These are the people the DNC completely ignored. These are the people that Trump's team saw. They aren't all stupid racist hicks. They voted for Bernie.
