My office has moved new projects to Go. We were using twisted web server which still isn't p3 compatible. It also doesn't help that Python is basically single-threaded.
So do you use 'Go' as your glue language now? or still use python for that?
In Firefox I just zoomed in. It stays that way. Simple solution and it works well. Probably in other browsers as well.
Here is what I said 25 days ago:

> I think Thiel is hedging for both himself and as a proxy for Facebook. If Trump wins, Facebook gets the most favored corporation status currently awarded to Google. If Trump loses, Thiel perhaps assumes everyone will forget soon enough and Zuckerberg can diss-avow any Facebook connection.

In retrospect, the one thing I think I was wrong about were the odds. I thought it was a long shot.

Facebook has sentiment analysis and definitely had a better guess on how the election would turn out than perhaps anyone else in the world. While pollsters were trying to extrapolate on what the entire population would be doing based on small samples and proprietary methods, Facebook just had the data. Not only can Facebook say you are a Trump supporter, but they can know by how much and as time series!

Make no mistake, "Most favored tech company" status just swapped Google with Facebook.

I don't support Trump, I believe very, very little of what he has said he supports or will do. However, I am fairly upset about the public support Hillary received. From foreign policy to domestic issues, her track record is appalling and with the exception of pro-war moderates, everyone who supported her should at least be embarrassed about it.
I was pretty smug about Trump supporters until I started to see a couple things on/after election night:

1. Clinton underperformed Obama's numbers dramatically in the Rust belt. You can certainly still be a racist if you voted for Obama, but it doesn't necessarily follow that you're a racist if you voted for Trump. There seems to be strong evidence that a number of people in the Rust belt have voted for both men.

2. 20% of exit polled Trump voters do not think he is qualified to be president.

This was a protest vote by many reasonable(ish) people who are telling the rest of us, "We're doing so poorly right now, it really doesn't matter to us if an incompetent narcissist is President."

I honestly don't know what to do next. I've never hated Republican voters, something I seem to be accused of doing by every underlying assumption in articles about division in our country. I suspect that many people are like me, I never hated the other side, but I lost respect for them long ago. I'm going to try to get it back somehow.
Reading these articles and comment is fun, we are a very large organization and starting to use docker, and we love making things even more complex than other folks, so I can tell this is going to a big mess. Fundamentally we (as in this industry) seem to love simple ideas that become massively complex.
That would be awesome, if it was actually possible. The reason it is not done is that suddenly it would become much more difficult for Americans to get high paying jobs. H1B's lottery system is infuriating for those who go through it, but it is quite difficult to exploit deterministically.

Who would you prefer coming to the US? 50000 semiskilled workers from TCS/Infosys/etc, or 50000 extremely talented engineers that will be no-brainer hires for any company every year?

Fusion takes longer to scale than any kind of power supply we use. At least H2 + H3 fusion, that is the easiest kind does. You'd be much better building a huge solar array on demand.
If that was their real concern, they wouldn't subscribe to feminism and/or social justice. E.g. even the idea of women being a minority is bullshit (they're actually a majority). Feminism focuses on solving problems for a specific group of people. That's bigotry, pure and simple. Let's rather focus on solving problems for everyone who's affected. And that was exactly what Sanders was doing - economic inequality is largely at the source of all the issues described (e.g. the fact that blacks commit more crime - which in turn pins "whites" (i.e. the majority) against them - could largely be solved by removing them from poverty). Identity politics is largely just an elite "divide and conquer" tactics that's making the lower/middle class groups hate each other.
Being a religious minority in Japan can be challenging in a variety of ways; at least 3 Japanese PMs have been Christian (Catholic x2 Baptist X1 off top of head). This is a deep topic of narrow interest; ask me over drinks sometime if you want the full geekiness about it.
Don't feel bad - lots of people just assume it's all about saving money, but sometimes the reason is the available to talent in Bangalore. I don't have any proof except what I have seen over the past 11 years. Most of the places I have worked had pretty good pay in Bangalore ( > 80000USD ) and it showed in the work they do. Also, if any of the good employees who were planning to resign, we did try our best to see if they would be interested in shifting to US instead. While this is anecdotal, I wrote it to point out not everyone looks at Bangalore as cheap resource and good developers are respected irrespective of where they are located.
The Model, View, Controller terms were originally defined by Trygve Reenskaug in 1978, based on his Smalltalk involvement, and formalised as Models-Views-Controllers in a 1979 paper.

He tells the story on his homepage:

Here's the implementation of the first example model, the Parikh et al. (2016) textual entailment system:

Exactly! So many people assume that the emerging of a new "best" way of writing front-end software renders all previous architectural decisions wrong.

It even came to the point that some people reject using any frameworks or even a helper like jQuery and "take everything under their control" because they don't want to deal with "deprecated" libraries.

Meanwhile, a small development team I know keeps using Knockout.js successfully in huge projects.
I was under the impression that fusion is held back by two major things.

1.) cost. It's incredibly expensive

2.) speculation. We don't _really_ know if it'll work yet.
It is indeed very close to how you would model redux apps. Interesting that you mention that your controllers don't have read access to store(s). That is actually very common with redux-thunk or redux-saga.

Relevant column:

"I don't see a moral obligation for anyone to serve in a Trump administration. But people who opposed Donald Trump, on both the left and right, should commit right now to one thing: We will not tar good people for joining the Trump administration. Their motives will not be questioned, and if things do turn out as some of his critics fear, the people in his foreign and domestic policy apparatus will not suffer guilt by association. It is just too important that Trump have good advisers.

Trump will be the least policy-savvy president in history. He has built no ideological framework for future policies, much less a set of detailed proposals. He has few advisers, in part because so many of the usual contenders have come out against him."

Turn out numbers. The people who stayed home were mostly the same demographic that voted for Obama in the last election: Minorities, millennials. Trump didn't magically win over Obama voters, conversions were rare.
If they put numbers on it, they'd be telling us how many customers they had? They might - understandably - not want to do that...
Oh I'm not saying that they could not be faked or altered. And to be honest when you have a supposedly accurate track record like this it's a perfect brewing storm for someone to come in and exploit it.

But dismissing them as Russian hacking didn't really give a lot of people the choice to make up for themselves. Yes I believe according to wikileaks that the DNC colluded with media and fact checking orgs and pushed their agenda too far. I read the information and made up my mind. So when someone points to Politifact again I'll do the same. Not saying they can't be saved but it's the idea of looking at it as doctrine from the start with a stamp of 'True' or 'False' that I don't like. Things are never that simple.
Very well said, but MVC is from 1978, not 1988.

How do we get people to start trusting each other again?

When I get approvingly labeled "irredeemable", the answer is, that will never happen.

The best outcome is that we'll live and let live, although Ian Fleming's famous "Live and Let Die" formulation is of course much more accurate.

Going back to your starting point, this is indeed a total rhetorical fail, which I thank you for pointing out. I'm going to assume that pjc50, who as I recall has a good head on his shoulders, hasn't noticed how institutions can change.

To give an example on my side with about as much amazement as he's expressing about Snopes, I no longer dismiss out of hand everything Alex Jones and Infowars have to say (!!!).
Shortage of local talent might be another possibility.

On my team, about half the people are not local--I'm a remotee working from a different country, and a bunch of other folks are outsourced from India and Ukraine. I don't have insight into how much the outsourcing costs, but a figure of $50 per hour has been floated in this discussion. At that point you are pretty much back to local wages, so my guess is it's not the money.

This may not be your typical outsourcing story though. Individual people are actually hired like you would hire anyone local, with interviews and all, except it's a manager traveling there to do a series of interviews and not vice versa. The team is quite stable, the churn reported in the article doesn't seem to be a problem.
> "Any organization not explicitly right-wing sooner or later becomes left-wing."

So you're defining centrism as impossible? No wonder everyone ends up in bubbles.

And you're calling Fox News, the prototypical right-wing TV news station, left-wing? What? Why? How? I just did a quick scan of foxnews.com and had a hard time finding a single story that wasn't obviously pro-Trump. The best I could do was http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/11/11/obamacare-enrollm...

I'll agree with this.
It's a good sign in the sense that people want to move forward.

But yes, it's a bad sign in the sense that more effort is required than with Python 2.

It's getting better all the time though. Most of the effort is because of a local Mac OS development environment, legacy Debian Wheezy systems that are hard to replace, but also legacy Ubuntu systems that are hard to replace.

Oh cry me a river. It's starting to look like your only debating tactic is "stop oppressing me".

You said it yourself that you voted for quoting "a racist, sexist, misogynist, xenophobe" because "One side is for freedom of speech, the other side is for controlling what you can say."

It would favour large institutional "inventors" and lock out individuals.

An invention and subsequent patent is only the beginning of a pretty risky endeavour. There are significant risks in bringing a new product to market, such as in funding, timing, marketing, industrial production, and so on.

Overall they will average out. Some patents will be more successful than expected, and some will bomb. Large companies will be able to make a guess, pay the tax, and overall they'll make a profit. The risk on a higher value and paying the tax isn't such a big deal for them.

Small time inventors will be unable to take the risk and be forced to undervalue their own invention lest it bomb. They'll be exploited by large companies that will just pay the limited damages and then exploit their invention.

All this would do is cap the return of small inventors, without affecting the carpet-bombing large companies.

I hate patent trolls as much as the next HNer, but I don't think this idea will work, sorry.

I'm a small time inventor with one patent filed, but I didn't pay the maintenance fees (I had to publish but didn't want to spend thousands more making it final) because it didn't make enough money so it's now in the public domain. A large company could take my work. If they make a success of it where I failed, good on them. But I'll be owed nothing (rather than a proportion), which I think would be unfair since they'd be using my work. I'm already a victim of having been unable to spread the risk in a way that large companies can do.
The main lesson learned from Trump's campaign is that "rational" is far less important than "belief" and "story".

Here's what seems irrational from my perspective:

1. Bob votes to elect Mike Pence, who takes the position "Homosexuality is incompatible with military service" [mikepence.com]

2. Dan, who is homosexual and in the military and Facebook friends with Bob since they started hanging out in college, finds out Bob voted for Mike Pence.

3. Dan says to Bob, "Yo man, that's pretty bigoted of you to vote for that guy."

4. Bob says I'm not a bigot.

5. Bob doesn't empathize with Dan or understand that Dan is really just pissed Bob took away his ability to serve the country in the military by electing Mike Pence.

Do you think Trump and his supporters were at any point nice and respectful?

How was Obama treated by the right wing after his election and during his presidency?

If something is racist, it's racist. That doesn't change when it's coming from a president-elect. Pointing it out is and should be okay for the media and anyone else to do.

she's an almost total failure in life

Not quite true. She was an outstanding commodities futures trader. She deposited $1,000 in cash into a trading account, and in ten months worked the account up to near $100,000.

So at least she has that skill to fall back on.

Or, maybe, just maybe, it was simply a bribe paid to the wife of the Governor of Arkansas.

Molten halogen salts are nasty stuff.

Disagreement is one thing. Outright blindness to issues that could destroy humanity, and that are not in question, such as global warming, are something else entirely. But it is too late to fret over that - what is important now is supporting those people who CAN work with Trump to make better decisions. So whether you like Trump or Thiel or think they are dimwits, we'll get a better result by helping them vs. bitching about things on the internet.

(In two years, this cycle starts all over again. Save your energies for that time.)
It's not a personal attack, it's trying to present a viewpoint without endorsing it. That's a big difference.
It has everything to do with Hillary. Heck, I've listened 2 and half hours of podcast between Sam Harris and Andrew Sullivan explaining why people should vote for her despite all the horrors they told about her, how ambitious, self-centered, egomaniac, greedy, dishonest, demagogue she is. I'm not american, but they successfully convinced me that in any case, she wasn't any better.
I think that people assumed Trump was "crazy/racist/myogenic/untrustworthy" because there is ample evidence that he really was each and every one of those things. Most of the evidence is in court documents and on tape, completely verifiable. Don't mistake being a "contrarian" for just being wrong. The media reported the facts on Trump and they assumed that facts mattered, but they did not. Or they did but no one cared about the substance of those facts and what they say about what kind of president he might be.
> he's a liar,

No doubt. ALL politicians are to some extent.

> misogynist,

because? Misogyny is literally HATRED of women, like, treating them really harsh. I dont think the democrats were convincing at that

> tech illiterate,

He seems to be handling twitter quite great

> arrogant

No doubt about that but sociopathy is a frequent characteristic of leaders

> and overall a disgusting human being

Disgust is visceral aversion, and can be very personal. Not an argument

Are you willing to negotiate any of your positions or are they set in stone? It seems the liberals went full hard-line mode, and ignored half of america.

> People listen up until the point you prove to them you're not worth listening to.

So basically , what the others say is garbage, deplorables, end of conversation. That's the point, swjs broke off the conversation with "you know what i m not arguing with you, you re a deplorable". Thats not how you convince people, you have to try harder.

disclosure: i m not american but watched the war of words from afar.
> The other problem is that there is not a single company that will throw as much money as it takes to improve the language, as happens with JavaScript, Python or PHP.

I don't know if this is really the reason I believe Ruby hasn't evolved as much as other languages. There are no big entities pushing big on Haskell, for example (Facebook uses it, but you don't see them driving development), but GHC evolves like crazy to support more language features, be better optimized, etc..

Isn't it fair to say that a community that loves to say "X isn't <good attribute> but it doesn't need to be!" is just showing disinterest in evolving? There will always be a point if you pat yourself on the back too much about your one big advantage, where you find yourself with increasingly less of an advantage. Your disinterest in improving caused you to stagnate and suddenly there is no advantage anymore.

At some point relative properties like "It has a very broad ecosystem" and "It's the most concise language" don't turn out to be very big advantages or no longer be true, in the case of the latter. There are other examples of this in the clique formerly known as "scripting languages". Most of them can be beaten by implementing new languages on platforms that started with less ideal languages.
I noticed recently that yes they do have some sort of connection between the JS required to play certain videos and the JS required to show ads.

And the latest from pornhub is actually that noscript cannot simply allow the video window, it refused to play until I allowed one of the domains on the page temporarily, then the ads came up and the video would play.

It's not rocket science, it's obvious that people will eventually defeat noscript. But I think pornhub stands out a bit as being especially nerdy and bleeding edge.

Unfortunately Trump's cabinet appointments have already proven him wrong. Carson, Palin, the leading anti-global warming crazy for head of the EPA...
Quite a few Chinese with PhDs earned it from abroad (US, Europe). With the lack of resources in the US for students obtaining professorship, many of them are going back to China with lucrative offers. They will bring back whatever they learned in the US - and if they saw scientific integrity in the labs here, then they will transform it in China.

In parallel, like how China has been cracking down on political corruption because it doesn't benefit the people, I imagine/hope they do the same for academic dishonesty.
Energy diversity and energy security are important.

On the one hand, global trade can strengthen relationships between nations and make war less likely. On the other hand, look at how Russia uses the threat of turning off gas supplies to pressure european countries.
