People who voted for Trump saw right through them and through all the "we're just neutral and just trying to get people to vote" attempts.

I mean, obviously people should go to vote and should be encouraged to vote. It's just that it was pretty much an open secret that the reason all of these tech companies and Silicon Valley people were suddenly "so involved" in getting people to vote, is because they thought most of the people they'd reach would vote for Clinton. And it's another open secret that most of Silicon Valley companies wanted Clinton to win.

I, for one, would've welcomed attempts to fix the real democracy issues in the U.S. (which are far bigger than just low voter turnouts), and attempts to fix the real problems that got half of the country to vote for Trump.

Hint: it's not just because of racism, but also because people are sick and tired of polished-up, corrupt politicians. Trump may be a very poor, or one of the worst possible alternatives to that, but at least he was an alternative.

These people really don't get it why Trump and Sanders saw such a rise in popularity. Tuesday's Reuters poll shows black and white why. I'll just copy the results here:

- 75 percent agree that "America needs a strong leader to take the country back from the rich and powerful."

- 72 percent agree "the American economy is rigged to advantage the rich and powerful."

- 68 percent agree that "traditional parties and politicians don’t care about people like me."

- 76 percent believe "the mainstream media is more interested in making money than telling the truth."

- 57 percent feel that "more and more, I don't identify with what America has become."

- 54 percent feel "it is increasingly hard for someone like me to get ahead in America."

It is possible to view this as an isolated event or a trend. Coming on the heels of BREXIT this is a trend.

The attempts at building an interconnected globalised world are beginning to fail. A bunch of elites decided to create their own trans-national utopia unchecked by borders and dismissed all criticism as racist or bigoted. The globalisation project has been rejected by a majority of the population. Whether it is for economic reasons or just plain bigotry is something for the sociologists to study and not something I can pontificate on.

Also people seem to care a LOT about immigration and preserving their culture. Instead of patronising these people it's time we tried to understand their concerns and try to assuage them.

There is no genuine leftist alternative. It's a choice between center-right "left" that's sold out to the establishment and the far right.Economists need to stop acting like priests in the medieval ages who justified the existing order . The rural voter who lost his job doesn't care about the theory of comparitive advantage.

If this trend holds this will soon take hold in France and other European nations. This is a return to the world of the 1920s. Not gloom and doom but a much more unstable global order with every country for itself. Not what we need when we face planet scale threats like global warming.

Get out of your bubble. Hang out more on subreddits you don't agree with.

The divide is bridged one person at a time.

Life goes on.

I previously read an article about this, too bad it is in Chinese http://www.wenxuecity.com/news/2016/11/07/5747980.html

basically it says it is based on exit poll. and it is costly, so many media companies formed an entity called NationalElection Pool to do the report.

And they also hired a company called Edison Research to do the exit poll.
<The trend in the House and Senate and many state governments since 2008 is far more concerning to me than Trump's election.>

Did you forget that the Democrats controlled the House and Senate until 2011? In fact, the Democrats had a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate until February of 2010.
How were they funded equally? Hillary raised $687.1M versus Trump's $250M.

I'll echo a comment I made on Facebook:

I think Mark Zuckerberg's comments show both ways we can react to this election. You've got to decide:
will you be constructive or destructive?

"We can't create a culture that says it cares about diversity and then excludes almost half the country
because they back a political candidate ... There are many reasons a person might support Trump that do not
involve racism, sexism, xenophobia ..."

I didn't vote for either candidate. So I'm not advocating either way. But I think America really, really needs to decide how it wants to take this and how it wants to move forward. We, by our actions and state of mind, choose whether this is a good or bad thing. Take control. Be constructive. Do good.
I personally don't do a lot of feature engineering and I do regularly read papers, I just don't think that I am typical.
Yes, stop the name-calling or you'll end up like the guy who coined "Lyin' Ted," "Crooked Hillary" and "Little Marco."

And so begins a really tiresome round of navel-gazing.
You can say what you want about Trump, but he's far from a social ultra-conservative.
You still have to pay for Trump's wall.

For me, it's not worth moving. I was born here, and as a result I'm somewhat responsible for the actions my country takes as a whole. Moving doesn't change that. The grass looks greener on the other side, but other countries aren't really doing that well with human rights, LGBT issues, affordable housing, or constitutionally-protected free speech. No matter where you move, you're trading one bag of shit for another.

It's weird.
More social democrats than socialists, and right wing and conservative opinion is on the rise, have been for a while now.

Of course, the NYT covered Clinton more. She was the Senator of the state the newspaper is located in, she won the popular vote in the 2008 primaries, and she had recently been Secretary of State. She was obviously the frontrunner.

The kind of coverage that the NYT gave Clinton wasn't more favorable than what it gave Sanders, on the other hand. The NYT broke the Clinton email story.

That's an odd way to put it. To counterbalance, europe in general is far less litigious and you get public healthcare. Come to to northern europe and you get a stable, very non-corrupt governance and a highly educated workforce.

US has huge internal markets - I would see this as the main benefit. Otherwise than that, if you make an actual good product, know marketing and are not terribly dependent on US VC money (which is hardly the only source of capital) I fail to to see the problem.

Sure, there are laws for holidays and such but that does not limit business, IMO, only the amount of arbitrary power employers have over their employees. It does not limit global market opportunities in any way.

It would be harder to launch a service like Uber though that tries to take on entrenched incumbent local players. Target global b2b or consumer markets and the problem goes away.

All of this is my personal understanding, and I might be wrong. If so, then please educate me with countering facts.

If Clinton would have been a little tougher on immigration it wouldn't have even been close. That was one issue Trump supporters cared about most. If she spoke a little tougher on that she would have won.

Serious question: Has anyone here in "IT" (including software / hardware engineering), not for the government, actually been subject to drug testing? I had it in a state government job and the military, but nothing in ~20 years of private sector tech work.
IMO, this is actually a fairly good test of thorough C knowledge. All of these issues are regularly described in articles, blogs, forums, HN posts, etc. Anyone who has programmed C for a few years and put in effort to master the language should know this stuff.
Won my bet (it was not an endorsement).
There are a lot of objective parallels between the rise of Hitler and Trump. When people are comparing him with a facist it's not because they think that tomorrow he will build concentration camps but that he uses the same rhetoric.

Hell in big lines you can compare the arguments that a Hitler used to get in power against that of a Trump and see the same stuff popping up again and again.

Against the elite, the fault of a specific group, talking about deportations, bringing jobs back lost also by foreigners, inward views, derogatory views against foreign countries,... . The list goes on.

We should respect the choice Americans make but when the world is reacting anxious it's about more than simple cliches.
Microsoft already stated multiple times that the focus of Visual C++ is C++ (hence the name).

Whatever C related updates you might see, are the ones required by the ANSI C++ for C compatibility.

For C99 and C11 support there is the clang frontend to C2, the Visual C++ backend, currently taking an LLVM role at Microsoft, being shared between clang, VC++ and .NET Native.
You know metal core PCB has good heat management performance
If you have read our articles about the metal core PCB, you may know it’s good heat dissipated performance.
Today we are going to discuss a similar one named copper core PCB.
A new test of copper core PCB

There were many tests during the PCB manufacturing process, but if you visit a copper core PCB factory, you many see some difference testing.
Into a 4,2mm thick stack-up we have implemented two 1,8mm solid-copper-cores with additional heat-sink-blind-vies.
In between, complex signal layers are running just like on a standard 4-layer multilayer PCB.
The design of copper core PCB heat management

You know metal core PCB has good heat management performance.
During copper core PCB design process, you should consider more factors than MCPCB design.
This is a combination of a complex multilayer layout and high-performance heat-management.

Google Deepmind is doing some great work with NHS in the UK, both on deep learning of medical images, but also on electronic health records (and mobile apps for doctors). What I've seen so far literally obliterates Epic user interface (which is not a high bar). But I'm not sure Google will open source the work, I think they will turn it into a profit stream. Still a win for doctors and taxpayers, less doctor time wasted fighting ancient software.

On your question for other ‘non-usual’ recommendations for writing code, I’ve found myself predominantly using Everson Mono¹ simply because of the wide range of characters it supports in Unicode’s BMP (and unbelievably, SMP as well!). I’m pretty sure it contains glyphs for more Unicode codepoints than any other monospaced font mentioned here. Not to mention that it was created by Michael Everson², who has made a sizeable number of contributions to the Unicode Standard himself.

Really sad to see so many members of the technical community act like brats on social media over the result. Whatever happened to respecting the viewpoints of others? Whatever happened to being humble in victory and respectful in defeat?

Democracy means you don't always get what you want. Be excellent to each other, whether you voted for Trump, Clinton, a third party candidate, or nobody. It's tragic seeing people isolate themselves into echo chambers of ideological refuge.
When I read those early elections polls from Reuters I knew that Trump was winning or going to be far closer than anyone in the MSM imagined. Those are results of a very angry population at the status quo.
> A bunch of elites decided to create their own trans-national utopia unchecked by borders and dismissed all criticism as racist or bigoted. The globalisation project has been rejected by a majority of the population.

The globalisation project is a consequence of:

1. People move: they have legs.

2. Technology has made moving easier and faster.

3. Technology has made keeping in touch in a decentralized network easier.

So it is not the elites, it is technology. You can try to stop it, by force, but you will not succeed and you will create lots of suffering.
First, let me say that I think Evan has done amazing work with Elm, and Elm is a very interesting language on several fronts. It is a positive contribution to the world, especially the idea that error messages can be great and compilers and type systems are tools.

That said, I agree 100% that the ability to form abstractions is a critical part of any language that hopes to become a tool that larger teams and projects can adopt. Without type classes and convenient mutability, I don't see Elm achieving widespread adoption. (That said, it could gain those features in the future.)

I've been working on a language inspired to some degree by Elm but also by my experience teaching Haskell. Haskell has amazing expressive capabilities and type safety, but the unfamiliar syntax is a hurdle that many people don't care to jump. To that end, we've designed Crux to have much of the expressive power of languages in the ML/Haskell family, while being as familiar and lightweight as JavaScript or Python. The idea is that it's something you can pick up easily but it can grow with you and your project.

ROYAL EXPERT Whitening Cream Sale in Pakistan
An excellent post, but just to ride the coattails a little and expand on a point:

Folks, this is what happens when you ignore and ostracize and most importantly mock the downtrodden. Let's assume (and this might be an incorrect assumption) that this election was decided by undereducated white males.

What has been the positive messaging from the Left and even the intelligent Right for those folks?

Which of the angry tweets decrying evil white men helped encourage them to cross party lines? Which of the Ted talks (other than one or two) recognized their plight as a respectable thing they could fix instead of a talking point? Which of the reddit posts refrained from calling them manchildren during GG? Which media posts failed to paint them as bigoted and racist?

The fact is, they've had it rough, and the Left failed to show that they would have a place at the table, that they would have any dignity in the future.

And so, they lashed out and here we are. Hopefully some of us are paying attention.
Good links and numbers.

The simple answer comes down to, the DNC (champion of unions and jobs), nominated an individual tied to killing jobs through out sourcing, etc, with no answer to "my town is dying".

They messed up, as did Hillary.

Things will be interesting.
But she needs the Latino votes.
Leo Tolstoy on War and Peace:

"I decided to write a detailed story about events surrounding the French invasion of Russia, and the impact of the Napoleonic era on Tsarist society, as seen through the eyes of five Russian aristocratic families; since I haven't used the language before, for kicks I decided to do it in Swahili. This blog post will summarize why I hate Swahili and why it's totally unsuitable for writing about Tsarist Russian society - or, I would say, anything else. Swahili is awful and needs to die."

Seriously, how can people write blog posts like this? You decided to code up a new project in a totally new language, and are here to tell us why that new language is awful. Really? Really? It's not like this is uncommon. People make these blog posts all the time! What's with this?

EDIT: I got downvoted, but look:

>A few weeks ago, on a whim my friend and I decided to hackathon our way through an app to help us learn how to play guitar. In a stroke of inspiration, we decided to learn something new, and do the project in the Elm programming language, about which I had heard many good things.

>Consider this post to be what I wished I knew about Elm before deciding to write code in it. Since I can’t send this information into the past and save myself a few weeks of frustration, it’s too late for me, but perhaps you, gentle reader, can avoid this egregious tarpit of a language where abstraction goes to die."

It doesn't take "a few weeks" to learn a programming language!!!

If you are a blue collar worker in the rust belt who lost his or her job because your factory moved to Mexico or China, there was no way you were voting for Clinton. And here we are.

The echo chamber of CNN, MSNBC, NYT, et al., is deafening. If you've been watching these outlets you know that they have been calling the election for Clinton for more than six months. The arrogance is just stunning. And here we are.

Now let's talk about the DNC. These folks are so crooked they literally colluded to steal the nomination from Sanders. How can that possibly sit well with anyone? Frankly, Bernie would have won vs. Trump. And here we are.

And for these reasons and a host of others, here we are.
Definitely encrypt all your communications. The Republicans are hardcore about violating any privacy rights (or any Bill of Rights) that they can, and will make sure to expand the NSA to spy on the US citizens communications. (it's currently illegal for the NSA to spy on US citizens comms..)
Exactly. Sanders was the only decent candidate.
True. It's like being a Nazi in Germany -- why shouldn't they allowed to vote, chin up high, for the destruction of the lower races. It is, after all, just a political stance.
Honestly it's the latter that scares me, given Europe's history, and the likelihood of massive migration from the Middle East and Africa in the coming decades.
To be devil's advocate, Trump lies all the time. Has he ever handled classified information? Are you confident he will handle it properly? Is he corrupt? Probably evidence that he's done some bad stuff (not paying contractors).

So perhaps they are both failures and both the same, Hillary just did it on a bigger (more important) stage.
America decided it wants to move forward with the candidate it just elected for President. I may not agree with the candidate, but that's the decision that was made. That's how America decided to move forward.

Perhaps you meant that the left needs to decide how it will move forward given this result.
