I am 20+ and this trend seems to indicate that people are growing decreasingly familiar with traumatic experiences in their lives, which also seems to indicate a general increase in average quality of life.
No wonder the beer taste like ...
My mind is open, much like a sieve.

I find these discussions of tolerance fascinating. The core message of people that preach tolerance is that we shouldn't give people are hard time for views and beliefs that don't harm others, not that we should accept all views and beliefs as being equally useful.

Of course the issue most comes to a head in situations like gay marriage, where a large group of people see it as causing/embracing some sort of moral decay and another group of people doesn't see any harm at all in people loving whoever they are going to love.

The one group wonders why such a harmful thing must be tolerated, while the other group doesn't agree that there is any harm.

People that start talking about tolerating intolerance aren't trying to have a discussion, they are asserting that their views about what is harmful and what is not harmful should have primacy.
Would be interesting to see the number of lines in those JS and Java repos. I expect JS to be tons of 50 lines 'libraries' and Java to have tons of 50k lines 'libraries'.
Thanks to quamash you can use the asyncio event loop to build a Qt app that call other async stuff at the same time !

I managed to use pyqt and autobahn|python (wamp protocol, RPC and pub/sub) in the same app thanks to quamash.

That's because Character is very, very different from ASCII in Swift (a character in Swift holds an extended grapheme cluster. See https://developer.apple.com/reference/swift/character). I also doubt the way they compute its ASCII value is optimal:

extension Character {
var asciiValue: UInt32? {
return String(self)
.unicodeScalars
.filter{$0.isASCII}
.first?
.value
}
}

Certainly if it is optimal, but probably also if it isn't, I would change the program to not do that conversion in inner loops.
you realize that these people are trying to make the entire campus into a space that people cannot disagree with them, right?
So imagine the confirmation bias at play when those same people try to imagine policies or politicians that can help all Americans.
In this case there's presumably the added 'advantage' that by uploading CP you're incriminating yourself, which probably gives the site admin more confidence that you're not a police officer or a likely informer (not that that seems to have stopped the FBI). Not unlike like, say, having to assassinate someone for the Mafia before you can be considered for full membership. Other than that, the overall dynamic seems like it could be disturbingly familiar to ordinary, (comparatively-at-least) decent file-sharing scenes all right, with leeches, seeders and so on.
Probably I come across like that but I am not a far left proponent. My point is that power owners have cherry picked Adam Smith's Capitalist theory and completed moulded it to their own benefit. safeguards are completely ignored in the name of free market. Yet same they do not feel any shame accepting government grants when going gets tough.

> Historically unionisation has occurred most when there is an abscence of strong labour laws

Unions generally become power centers in themselves so only strong labour law is the solution in my opinion.
In the category of self-hosted stream readers there's also Tiny Tiny RSS [0], which I use and enjoy. It has a nice Android app and pluggable scrapers for extracting webcomic images and full content from summary feeds. Although it's been described as having "the most hostile primary maintainer of a piece of software I've ever encountered", which I experienced a bit of personally last time I tried to contribute upstream.

Same with you feeling you're right. And I cannot trust any wikileaks sources, so unless you've got something else, I don't see you backing up your argument.
Objectivity is literally about things being factual regardless of subjective opinions.

There's nuance in the world, but if someone says "The earth is flat", it's not dystopian for a newspaper or online newsfeed to editorialize and minimize those claims.
Alright, he made a gamble here, he wrote this so leftists and liberals make it viral and the company becomes a champion for diversity and other companies join him and the stock goes up, aaaand he was wrong.

Thanks for this. Thanks for humanizing both sides. That's we need right now, not blame and anger.
I strongly disagree.

First of all, more than half the population is female (not to even look at race, sexual orientation, those who don't identify as male or female, etc.) so the majority of people by far are not white males who have "no personal stake in the culture wars." I see every day how people use male pronouns when talking about engineers, implying time and time again that women aren't engineers or that it would be very atypical for them to be. This pushes women out of STEM fields slowly but surely over time, both because they feel they don't belong and because their superiors actually assume males will be better subconsciously due to stereotypes and language norms. You can literally put a man's name on a woman's resume and it is more likely to be accepted.

Secondly, the truth is that in most of America you are still much more likely to be harassed for being female, non-heterosexual, non-caucasian, etc. than for using the wrong pronoun. Its not like every time someone says "he" without knowing the person's gender they get called out on it. I appreciate that the original poster felt strongly about one particular case where it put someone's job at risk, but race, gender, and sexual preference put millions of jobs at risk daily.
Also language popularity based on this data might not be a fair conclusion. Some languages and environments do not lend themselves to OSS. For example, how many iOS app developers (using Swift) open source their app? Another is how many C# devs are using github as their repository over the various MS technologies.
I have installed Windows 10 on two systems. One has MSE enabled and the other has Eset Nod32. Nod32 was installed on that machine under Windows 7 and after converting the OS to Windows 10 it continued to work. Windows 10 is now facilitating notifications that the Eset license needs to be renewed, but

IT IS NOT TRYING TO TRICK ME INTO USING MSE.

Also, back in the day I had an HP laptop with an AMD Duron processor, and it came with Symantec AV. I had overtemp shutdowns. I diagnosed that the AV was using most of the CPU cycles by far. So I researched the providers and somehow Nod32 came out on top across two or three different AV shootouts. I replaced Symantec with Nod32 and the laptop ran so much better. After that I only ran bundled AV on new machines until I could get around to installing Nod32. Nod32 continues to behave appropriately.

On the machine that runs MSE instead of Nod32, there was a different application chewing up the CPU cycles: The HP support assistant.
If you believe you are right then why can't you simply disagree with it, rather than hide from anything that _might_ be a "challenge"?
Yes.

Mathematical frameworks that assume Quantum Systems are deterministic (only being in state A or B) during unobserved periods have never been validated by experiment. It is great if you have a model, but if that model fails to agree with experimental results.
hehe, thx for the quick reply. Had some trouble with qtdeploy and since go build worked (and I prefer go build workflow wise) I assumed it would result in the same binary.

The demo application works without any of the libs from the deploy folder, but thats probably because it uses the system libs.

So cool:

- Option 1: 'go build' creates one large 50mb binary

- Option 2: 'qtdeploy' creates a bundle with a little more than whats required but you can remove what you dont need

- Option 3: just takes the binary and let the system provide the libs

Super cool would be, if that downsizing could be made automatically but since that icu stuff takes alone 24mb, that might be difficult. Anyway, great work. Spend half a day to get it working with system libs, but in the end I had to learn to just follow the tutorial and download qt again.

Great job :-)

A recent wise comment said "the left takes Trump literally, but not seriously, his supporters take him seriously but not literally."

It is indeed possible that the media exaggerated his views by reporting his rhetoric in isolation to his broader message.

This is the political sport of our age. Atomise someone's speech and treat it as self-evident evil. Can anyone say "different public and private positions"?
I think there's a group of users on HN, including myself that wishes politics were not on the site. One can go almost anywhere to find political discussions because the threshold to join them is so low. Sometimes tech related politics gets a pass on here, but anything else tends to lead down a path of a low signal to noise ratio for insightful site content.

ICMP type 3 code 3:

"Destination unreachable: port unreachable."

This paper notes that many pro grade routers will fail under a DoS attack of these packets at only 15-18 Mbit/s (40K to 50K packets/sec). You can test from the WAN side, i.e. set up a laptop inside the company and generate this kind of DoS attack, and see if the router fails. The paper even includes sample commands for a Ubuntu installation while describing how to test from inside. It appears average users / infected hosts could DoS the router from inside the company!

It's probably because the packet is being processed by the host CPU in the router and not the switching fabric, and lacks proper rate limiting / DoS mitigation. In other words, it's a bug in most major routers, but fixable.
hackuser posted a requirement which has my full support:
Since you're doing machine learning, try and apply that to avoid showing me articles with overlapping content. Often quite a few sites I follow will cover the same thing, and obviously, I want to read it only once.
It's a fun idea, but I would like to see you expand the article with a little more consideration around the edges. The core idea isn't really new.

Possible expansion topics:

- Handling a ballot with multiple separate races
- Backup system for when the computers have gone down
- Can it assist in any way with "voter suppression" issues

> his proud racism and misogyny

The amount of mis-quotation around Trumps alleged "racism and misogyny" means I'd like at least a few specifics along with any such claim, just to be clear what your level is.
Legit question for you: Why can't "safe spaces" equate to "I just want to disengage" ?

I find that when I personally want a "disengagement break", I get more relaxation in just holing myself up at home vs taking over someone else's area.

It sounds like we're reading different NY Times regarding how they covered Comey's announcement. Immediate dismissal?

And there was a world of difference in how the NY Times or Guardian covered trump and how "new media" liberal echo chambers like Vox or Huff Post did.

Polling is hard and pretty much everyone was wrong on it, and we don't even know if it was "wrong" wrong or just on the wrong side of the margin of error... Shit happens.

My worry is that Trump's instinct will be to "repeal and replace". This startup visa initiative will be cancelled simply because it was championed by Obama, and a new one written by Republicans will be promised... But because it's not a priority compared to all the other stuff going on, the new initiative will never actually get written.

It took years of lobbying to get a "startup visa" from Obama's administration. It's a shame if this issue gets reset once again.
Also I should mention: that is my prediction as someone who wouldn't be effected (I'm Canadian). If it were otherwise, I would be preparing for the worst -- for abortion that would take the form of looking at international travel options, and thinking about how to conceal it.

Look folks, I get that this is a libertarian crowd but hear me out:

If someone says the earth is flat, it's not dystopian for editors to minimize those claims, or even point out how incorrect they are. Instead, in today's media world, the response would be, "two sides disagree on contour of the planet", and would present two talking heads to chatter about their opinions.

Facts are facts, and we're losing the battle online to disinformation.

Beware of slippery slope arguments about how editorializing leads to propaganda.

Are you saying this post is likely to be flagged as well? Tut tut.
Then oddly enough, it becomes less about you being challenged and more about those who believe you shouldn't exist being challenged. Colleges are great for exposure to peers with varying backgrounds and beliefs and are great for fostering understanding of each other's viewpoints. Isolating your group to spaces of the same people will probably strengthen that demarcation and lessen the incentive (and the ability) for those with hardened beliefs to understand the other side's viewpoints. Sometimes all it takes is befriending one LGBTQ to melt that belief.
>"grab 'em by the pussy"

Whereas, "Got 'em by the balls" has passed fully into colloquial usage for some time now, it may be difficult for many to feel earnest moral outrage over this statement when the plaintiff's core platform includes social equality of the sexes. Rather, all your audience hears is the political Left reiterating a double standard that is stacked against whites, males, and particularly the intersection of the two categories.

The vast majority of both parties lives their entire life without bearing any hatred for any race or gender as a category of person.

Leftists are subject to the same basic human nature as Rightists, and this includes the tendencies to censor, bully, label, and dismiss those who disagree with us.
That notification behavior is a default, but you can change it if you want your messages to be more secure.
> These people are pissed off at Washington and Wall Street and they believe Hillary would be more of Obamas business as usual.

I really question this. It keeps getting said, but looking at the numbers from Wisconsin/Michigan/PA trump did get mroe votes, but really Hillary had a massive drop. He had 1300 more votes in Wisconsin than Romney, Hillary had 250k less than Obama.

So is it really angry white americans who trump stole in droves from the democrats... or a democratic candidate who couldn't get people to show up.

The rest of those red states are pretty much just the states that always vote red + florida (and florida does what florida does).
Ok so you are happy to 30 wait for competition to emerge against a monopoly? That's one full career.

> who pledged to roll back LGBT rights

You mean the man who will likely have a homosexual man (Peter Thiel) lead his transition team.

> stop Muslims from entering the country

I don't agree with this, but I also don't agree with what's going on in countries like France. There has to be a middle ground somewhere. The unfortunate fact is that if you even mention immigration in a less than positive light, you're labeled a racist or a xenophobe. And now the other side has fought back. They've elected someone who gives them at least somewhat of a voice. Had the left not been so aggressive at trying to pin those with a dissenting voice (both on the left and the right really), I suspect we would be in a very different position today.

Trump has flaws, and I take issue with many of his positions, but this anti-gay and racist argument just doesn't hold up. I look forward to the day we can start debating policy again.

> I meant the assumption that 'The Coasts' represent what is 'modern'

They do though. Multicultural, global trade centers, high tech industry.

They are the modern world. That's a big part of the problem, there are places that haven't adapted and as a result are suffering.

For a lot of people (say, the vast number of americans who live there) they are closer to the ideal than living in a town in wyoming or wherever. Same thing is true the other way.
The position of "constantly saying they shouldn't exist" is an overexaggeration that only serves to make tolerating them more of a chore.

It is hard to respect people that constantly treat you as an aggressor.

I can understand your opposition to the government as is, it's a closed off and opaque system with little interest in citizen affairs. How about you come up with some ways that we can make the government better and suggest those instead of just stopping the conversation with a big flat "no"?

The dysfunction in US immigration is that we import millions of low-skill workers when there's already a tragic surplus of low-skill labor. I don't think there's much appetite to cut back on high-skill/investor immigration.
Sure but you do get two months notice to quit which isn't too terrible. Most times you'll get a feel from the landlord whether they're serious about long term letting or whether this is a stopgap until they can sell their house for a better price. Most decent landlords are upfront about this in my experience.

If you want additional security you can always contract in for a longer minimum lease, for example twelve months. Alternatively hunt around for a property letting company who's long term business is just letting.

At the end of the day, nothing is permanent if the landlord stops paying their mortgage or other loan secured on the property you're renting.

There is also the social housing sector - Council Housing, Housing Association and Housing Co-op's. These can provide much longer term rentals, however they can be a bit harder to obtain due to lower monthly rents which can cause waiting lists. There tends to be less flexibility on property size and type, i.e. you'll get to rent what is deemed legally and healthwise necessary for your circumstances; for example if you're single don't expect to get a three bedroom home, those will be allocated to families.
I wish I was as smart as these people.
And they want to conflate "words" with physical action; offense with violence. Thus the need for a safe space because hearing something that upsets you or you disagree with is the same as being physically assaulted.

This is what you do when you are afraid of debate, afraid of being wrong and unable to defend your ideas... when you know you might lose or are losing in the arena of ideas.

You criminalize differing opinions in the name of diversity, and effectively outlaw free speech.

This is why Trump won.
