Code bullies
In response to the harassment conversation.. I read the entire article a few moments ago. Interesting... Don't we want this young girl to be able to stand up for herself one day? Instead of looking at it as harassment in the adult world, shouldn't we be teaching her to 'code like a girl?' That should not only entail one thing individually, at her age we should be transforming her thought of inability into ability. What she learns now will shape her every being, as an adult. Teach young ladies that the opinions of others can be far off of your own intentions.. not to be bothered by it. Stand up to the code bullies, fight against it. The opinions of others don't matter, don't let it overcome you. With the teenage suicide epidemic in this country, we cannot afford to be defeated by words or thoughts of others that may shape us to who we become as a person. No, harassment is not okay, but not teaching this young girl how to really, and intellectually code like a GIRL, is not okay either. (Stand on the only floor in front of you) it's the only thing holding you up. Instead of running to her defense, making it a bigger deal than it is, will scare her too. I've been teaching youth cheerleading for 17 years. So I know all about teenage girl emotion. However, let's teach our children how to be strong without us. Lead the way now, so they can show us how to get there next time.

I guess we agree about the railroads. However, telecom has never been a natural monopoly, and the USA government has had to work hard for a century to make and keep it one (...and to convince the public that telecom monopoly is unavoidable.) VZN and ATT may not have merged officially yet, but they certainly act in concert to maintain their duopoly position. This will only change when the FCC ceases to stifle modern radio technology.
Ctrl-f macro support, no results. Sigh.
It's also worth noting that if we had a popular voting system for President, there would have been fewer protest votes in states where the EC outcome was never in doubt (CA, TX, etc.). So it's likely that Johnson (and other third-party candidates) would have received fewer votes. In this case, most of Johnson's would probably have gone for Trump. This is not for sure, but Johnson was the generally-accepted alternative candidate for most Republicans (outside of UT, where McMullin got on the ballot and made a good showing).

Johnson received nearly twice as many votes as all other third-party candidates (3% vs 1.7%), so it's hard to know how it would have all broken down at the end of the day.

But it's quite possible that—even if the campaigns hadn't redirected resources, which of course they would have—Trump still would have won.
>Why the last requirement?

Why the oral requests? Are signers of ASL not able to take their life under this requirement? Would a terminal patient that had their vocal cords or tongue removed not be able to make the requests?
Certainly. But this is about information. There are a lot of people who increasingly understand the dynamics of how the information economy affects popular opinion, how it affects the workforce, how it has disrupted work and yet done nothing to solve the problems that came with the consequences of that disruption.

And many on the left outside of the valley bubble really thought that a boom in the left-leaning Bay Area meant that there were powerful people there who had their backs in all of this. They feel very hurt that tech seemed to sit on the sidelines through the election, and in some regards pretty much enabled and profited off the mass-dissemination of misinformation.

So it's not just about corporate greed this time. It's about information, disruption, workforce automation, and the responsibilities that come from building and wielding powerful information tools.
If you have to render Apple's stylizations of their word marks in running text (an idea I dislike), then you're better off writing it as "Apple IIc".

Semantically, it's still the Roman numeral for 2, and the Romans used the letter I twice for that, so let's use the proper codepoints and leave stylization to a font choice, which on the web means using some kind of markup language.
Meet the free software gang
Here's how I view our conversation thus far. I said "Evan doesn't feel the need to add typeclasses right now." You said "He is thinking about maybe adding it in the future." Then I said "I know, that's why I ended my sentence with -- right now --" and then you said "what are you talking about? I'm not saying Elm is bad!"

> A language can be better than its competitors/alternatives while still having room to improve.

I agree with you is all I'm saying. I never tried to imply otherwise. All I said is that there is no reason to think that Elm has to have typeclasses right now to be useful, as some others seem to suggest.
Now you're getting it.

I'm pro choice, but the conservative objections around abortion center around the life of the fetus, not the body of the woman carrying the fetus.
To them, the fetus is a life which the mother is obligated to protect, just as if it were an actual child.

When California realised just how much they'd be spending on water if they had to pay a fair market price for it without the fed helping them out I'm sure they'd decide life is better as a state.
I don't think it would work well economically. It's a libertarian utopia, but unfortunately, the moment some of the 50 states decide to do stuff like taxing out of state purchases or something like that, it would become very annoying.

I currently live in Uruguay, which is a small country which should have been a part of either Argentina or Brazil if you consider things geographically. Political considerations and Britain's foreign policy turned us into an independent country instead.

Being a small country (we're what states like Montana or North Dakota would be as a country) has quite a lot of economic disadvantages - smaller internal market, lots of friction when buying and selling, some bureaucracy doesn't get economies of scale and becomes bloated.

It does have several advantages if you disagree with neighbouring countries' politics and policies though, which is why Britain voted for Brexit and what you're mentioning.
I don't remember seeing conservatives rioting in the streets, or burning flags, or calling for the death of Obama voters in 2008.

"Nothing new under the sun" might be true for human nature, but I'm pretty sure ol' Solomon would eat his words if someone flew back in time and showed him an iPhone.
I want to make two points.

First: People on this website tend not to have grown up poor, but let me assure you that that demographic of Americans has no problem with independence. My friend has had a job since he was twelve, and until he moved out (at 18) he had to pay his share of the household bills. And he has bad credit because when they needed money his mom borrowed money in his name.

Second: Im a college student, so I see a lot of people floundering with new found independence. First people who grew up poorer can, in general, cook, clean and shop properly. Of those that grew up in wealthier families, the "only" children are the ones that tend to struggle at first.

In the end though, most of them figure it out. Large universities are pretty good at fostering independence. Primarily because they don't really care about their students. Either you figure it out or flunk out. I know that anecdotes of peoples parents coming with them to interviews are common, but I don't know a single person who has had this particular indignity inflicted on them. In general I think that adults in the United States are fairly good at being independent from their parents and American Universities have helped with this. I also know that Asian, and Japanese universities have a reputation for coddling their students, to the point that American professors are wary of taking them on as grad students (not to say that some of them aren't fantastic students because they are).

I also know that Japanese parents are far more likely to support their children financially into their adulthoods than American parents are. So while I agree with many of the sentiments here I want to point out that Americans do force their children to be independent. They just wait until they are 18-25.
Your reasoning implies there is only Client and Trump.
It's easy to underestimate how deeply polarized the US really is.

Trump in particular is so far out of the bounds of normal politics that to many people, support for Trump appears no different than support for, say, Mussolini. It may only be fringe extremists playing the racial supremacy song, but half the country is marching along to the beat. At that point it doesn't matter what your private reasons for supporting a Mussolini or Franco or Trump are - you're still a collaborator. The justification for boycotts etc comes from that point of view.

It's a difficult problem - the left (such as it is) needs to find some kind of productive path forward, but I'm not convinced that pandering to the sensitivities of people who have no intention to reciprocate is at all useful.
Thanks for explaining, as always.

Specifically regarding how immigration relates to LGBT rights: Is there any statistical link between anti-LGBT hate-crime and immigration from Muslim countries?

Perhaps more to the point, if LGBT activists (HRC in particular) don't feel the same way, how do you explain that? Do they not realize Trump is (despite opposing their marriage rights and opposing protecting them from discrimination) actually their ally? I find that claim startling.

Regarding illegal immigrants, it's a tough issue. I thought www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/10/31/untangling-the-immigration-debate was a good broad summary of thought here. I will say that I disagree with the criticism of "entitlement." It's hard to know what you would do in their shoes, but I think it's obvious that all humans have some entitlements to some rights, and, even if we find it necessary to enforce a certain law, we should be aware of the human motivations behind such actions.
> Olmsted was thirty-six when his plan for Central Park was accepted, and he had no formal training in landscape architecture. Nor had anyone else, for at that time, parks were laid out by architects, gardeners, or surveyors.

Seriously, first landscape architect?

Not sure that Capability Brown would be pleased to hear that:

Lancelot Brown (born c. 1715-16, baptised 30 August 1716 – 6 February 1783),[1] more commonly known with the byname Capability Brown, was an English landscape architect. He is remembered as "the last of the great English 18th century artists to be accorded his due", and "England's greatest gardener". He designed over 170 parks, many of which still endure. He was nicknamed "Capability" because he would tell his clients that their property had "capability" for improvement.

Thanks, I just send an email to warn Corsair.

It's not just about cost, but the time spend. I wasted a few hours until I noticed the issue. And now I am wary of purchasing again from Corsair or Amazon.

And I feel slightly disgusted by all this :-(
And the unacknowledged problem is, we don't really know if it's already happened.

To quote from the article: 'Electronic voting machines can be hacked, and those machines that do not include a paper ballot that can verify each voter's choice can be hacked undetectably. Voting rolls are also vulnerable; they are all computerized databases whose entries can be deleted or changed.'

It doesn't need visible chaos or detection on voting day.
I've considered it, then researched stats about women and inequality because they didn't match my experience.

All I've seen was a gross exaggeration of women's case: For example it's always the gross average of wage gap (32%) that is shown in the article's titles, and I've checked around me that no woman is aware that the average wage gap is only 8% for the same level of education and experience in the job, and the average goes the other way depending on the criteria we use (e.g. women get paid 22% more than men in Atlanta and 15% more in NY).

Also, in France, all other statistics conclude to men needing more help, while women still complain that they don't get enough: There are 18x more men who face violence on the street than women, 0.77x who get high-education degree, 2x (TWICE!) more men who are homeless, 3x who commit suicide and 20x more men in prison, so I'm a little flummoxed when I hear "Women are inequal". Examples on the same trend go on and on, see for example positive images that are associated to females ("They can do 2 things at the same time!"), negative/violent images associated to men; better education results in women than men; mark bias in mathematics in favor of women; solidarity statistics that are all favorable to women; and women keep dating richer men while high-pay jobs are more difficult for us to have, so it's a real struggle.

See for yourself: http://femmes.gouv.fr and no http://hommes.gouv.fr .

Men deserve dedicated help too. I'm not asking we stop helping women. I'm just asking we help men just as much, because men actually have more problems in life than women. You know, like, ...equality?

So, "white male dominant hierarchy placed oppressive burdens on the groups" doesn't trigger my solidarity anymore. Look at helping everyone who need help, instead of blaming a group for being white.

To me the ternary operator is more readable. It has way less extraneous symbols, it is expression-oriented and lets you focus on what's really happening: that something gets assigned to a based on some condition. It expresses intent better than the if-else.

Sure it can be abused and nested beyond human comprehension... just like if-else! So that's a non-argument.
American Election(s) Have been hacked. This may or may not have changed the outcomes, but looking at various machines that where used at various times the odds that nobody hacked any of them, ever, is very low.
There are a TON of resources like this which focus on lexing and parsing which is all fine and dandy but interpreting the resulting Abstract Syntax Tree will be extremely slow.

Are there any resources on the code generation side of things? Even getting from a high level language down to SSA seems like a big leap (nevermind going from SSA to assembly).
Stuff like this isn't exactly new. You get lowest common denominator functionality.

Simon Wardley summed this stuff up pretty well about 6 years ago, http://blog.gardeviance.org/2010/08/islands-in-sky.html
Agreed. As much as I dislike Apple's current style, Snow White was gorgeous, as was the platinum design theme they used in the early '90s (e.g. the Quadra 605). I wish we could get back to that kind of look again.
It's important to distinguish between cases where it is slower, and cases where query plans change.

MySQL 5.7 changed the cost-model significantly, so while it will be better on most queries, there are cases where two-wrongs-made-a-right; and edge case queries may be slower. To mitigate this (as it was somewhat expected), MySQL 5.7 also introduced new query hints and server-side query rewrite.

(In the case of the link you provided, OP responded later saying 5.7.10 improved performance again.)

I can't remember the last time I bought a physical album. I think it was about 10 years ago, when Metallica's Death Magnetic came out.

Everyone I know uses a streaming service to get music. No one I know buys or owns physical CD's, vinyl, etc. Because the music industry has failed to rise to the occasion, there are several services that have ascended to pop culture status while the traditional music industry is hemorrhaging.

The suits who sign the checks need to change the business model, but since they either can't or won't, they'll probably just die off on the vine, eventually.

music piracy is a direct result of the failure of the music industry to change with the times. if you offer a service that can compete with piracy, people stop pirating.

that's what turned me from game pirate to Steam paying customer with over 300+ titles in my library.

that's what turned me from TV pirate to Netflix subscriber.

p.s. I don't think anyone ever made money from recording music, even when album sales were good. record labels have always taken the lions share of profits. this has nothing to do with artists making money IMO.
I have a sister that makes shoes in Los Angeles.

She pays all her workers minimum wage, but that only started a few years ago.

The rest of the companies, who share the cobbler machinery, most do not pay minimum wage, and many don't bother to carry workman's comp. I noticed certain owners moved around a lot, and if their was an accident; you had a very nervous owner at the hospital. (The employees are 90% plus illegal aliens. All from Latin America. Most are just glad to work. After a few months, the enthusiasm wears off. I was suprised over the loyality. They just don't know, or care that they are being exploited. One or two key craftsman are paid $10 an hour, until they teach the next genuinely gifted craftsman. It seemed like 1 out of 10 had the artist/mechanical ability to earn $10hr.)

I felt the owners were just taking a chance by not paying minimum wage/not paying workman's comp. The workers didn't complain. If a worker caught on to his/her rights; they were let go. I was shocked their wasen't more problems, but the workers seem content.

It wasen't a sweat shop, but the shop was far from legal. She sell her shoes at a range of around $350.00 to $1500.00.

(The high end shoe market is still wide open. I used to find it amazing what women spend on shoes. I'm now shocked at what men spend on sneakers. )

(I outed her because she is without morals, or ethics. Plus--no one will differentiate her from the rest of the cheaters. I always found the denial that goes into a lot of business is staggering.)
Wow. That must be an incredible amount of pressure on every Jr. High freshman to pick the right club. I'm not sure I could do it. I might like tennis, but I don't know if I would want to devote all my free time to it.

I can see the advantage of being in one and only one club from a competitive standpoint, but I have no idea how they don't burn out kids and then make them feel trapped in an activity they have grown to hate.
Why is it surprising?

I like to come up with my own conclusions, which may - or may not - be what my demographic group "expects" me to.
You know, I have a love/hate relationship with C kind of like what you described. In general I hate how hard it is to use and how easy it is to make gigantic mistakes in it. But on the other hand it's so raw and pure that it makes it a fun challenge. Recently I decided to write a SNES-era video game in C using SDL2, so we'll see how that goes. Maybe my mind will change as I make progress on that front.

Huh? My point was that the KKK really was supporting Trump, whereas it was not really supporting Hillary.
The same can be applied to the ternary operator: apply the usual programming rules (and common sense).
It might be my not being American, also not on the left, but what I am reading (perhaps erroneously) is: yes, "we" (you and GP) have been called racist, homophobic, misogynist, etc. for so long …and from being called those words there's no introspection as to whether one is perhaps factually so disrespectful of the basic dignity of other human beings that it would be decent to reconsider?

Maybe it will indeed be really hard to recover. Then again, my determination just got reinforced.
I totally agree, I wish there was 50 viable choices. Competition is good, look at our ISP situation.
It'll definitely make it harder to buy (a meaningful number of) politicians. It'll also filter out bad ideas, but I'm afraid it'll also filter out the good ones. After all, there is research (which I'm too lazy to look up right now) that shows that as the size of a committee grows, their output tends towards mediocrity. But I dunno, perhaps mediocrity is what we actually want in government? (Not being sarcastic.)
Texas is bigger than California too (by area at least).
I already explained why. You just seem to refuse to see the reason.
I couldn't agree more. Also:

* Fox News and other Fox/Murdoch publications world wide claim to be traditional news organizations, but really are editorializing. Ironically, this undermines the reputation of real news organizations - people assume they do the same.

* Many on the right now value ideology over fact. Information that fits the ideology is accepted; inconvenient fact is not. Climate change, Obama's citizenship (doubted by 40% of Republicans, IIRC), and Saddam Hussein's possession of WMD are simple examples.

* The demonization of any information that doesn't fit the ideology has resulted in the right continually demonizing real news organizations, who report based on fact and not ideology.

I'm not writing that to be partisan. There is a critical problem on the right that is destroying society, democracy and civilization, and an attitude that they are not stewards of those things - as if there is no consequence. If it was happening also on the left then I'd say the same, but it's not.

That's not a clarification, that's just saying something completely different from what he originally said.

> is on the record saying he sexually assaults women

This is a good thing to touch on, because it very handily demonstrates an area where differing opinions became a crux upon which the election turned. Trump was "on the record" joking around in a manner that, despite Clintonian assertion otherwise, is not at all uncommon, amongst men and women. It is, also despite assertion, not universally accepted that offensive words are equivalent to harmful actions. For instance, although I did not vote for Trump, I will never accept this precept as valid.

The racism and sexism are sort of victims of their own overuse. I've said, unto exhaustion, that fighting sexism with sexism and racism with racism is equivalent to fighting a fire with fuel, but political beliefs state that racism against whites and sexism against males is justified and therefore non-existent, so it gets deployed rampantly. This election is one obvious result.
