> Can one really come back from murder?

We pay people to go murder other people and are fine with it. We call them soldiers and sometimes policemen too. Turns out that most people who kill someone else are able to come back more often than not well enough to be able to live in society, although PTSD is a well-known consequence for it.
It's not long now until we see the first death directly attributable to a cyber attack.
You said:

At some point they even decided not to file a police report below 3Kg of cocaine smuggling from the Dutch Antilles. Why? There were just too many doing it and the justice system couldn't handle it.

I was pointing to a World Bank study describing what actually happened, which is very different from what you said.
Can you expand on having to walk an hour to the 'voting dropoff location'? Firstly, do you mean where you actually vote and secondly is this an urban location?

I'm interested as having lived in two countries with different electoral systems (UK and Australia) and in urban and rural locations I never had to walk more than a few hundred yards to a polling booth (urban) or I could park pretty close (rural).

I also noticed that news coverage of the election was showing very long lines, is this a typical experience for voters in US?
It was the constant media rhetoric that made me really question the true reality. So, I went to look for myself. Trump had an enormous number of people looking at him. I didn't know what they were thinking, but it was interesting. Hillary was having famous people speak for her but her numbers seemed to be tiny. Again, just from my perspective.
Right, you're simply providing reasons that agree with me!

I work as a tech guy (linux wrangler / code monkey) for a finance firm. I worked in finance during the meltdown of LSE and the new linux based "Millennium" platform. I agree with you that Linux consistently is higher throughput AND lower latency, but that is my point. Windows isn't on supercomputers because it isn't a great fit and there isn't much of a market for it. Ditto can be said for Linux on the Desktop.

I agree.

Trump supporters won everything by losing their jobs oversea.

Trump supporters won when other people call them racist for wanting to have a job.

Trump supporters won when their kids are sent to die in the Middle East to line up the Rich Elite's pockets with oil money.

Trump supporters won when they return from the war, with missing limbs, and the VA won't even take care of them.

And the smug still can't figure out why Trump supporters support Trump.
Peter Norvig's "(How to Write a (Lisp) Interpreter (in Python))" (http://norvig.com/lispy.html) covers a superset of this material and makes more sense, and actually has a portable implementation you can run yourself. If you're going to do this, use Norvig as a guide.
Facebook deserves to be sued into oblivion for all the shady "privacy zuckering" that happened early on.
I cannot get enough of the this liberal meltdown and saltiness. I hope the pouting never ends :)
Fun stuff , thanks for posting it. I've been getting back into C lately, iterating through implementing common algorithms from scratch.

In spite of the kinds of easy to make mistakes that are highlighted on the site, I'm finding it to be a lot of fun - not having my hand held by frameworks that try to stop me from shooting myself in a foot is refreshing and brings back that feeling of "I can build whatever the hell I want in whatever f'd up way I want" that C always held for me.

Too, in the years since I've last done something like this, I've learned a lot - so he process is made better by applying ideas I've internalized to old problems, measuring effects on performance, etc.

Core dumps are a thing that I can cause without triggering some kind of obscure runtime bug and it's oddly exciting.

Interesting. Could you expand on that thought? I'm curious how it would be different from our current solutions. Taking the power away from national reserves?
Plus, what about candidate non-completes, doing a paid task for a competitor? (Most people aren't in California.)
We've had 8 years of Obama being called that on top of being a 'secret Muslim' and not a US citizen, which was a claim that was pressed by Trump himself for years (amongst other claims like climate change being a conspiracy).

The left handled it well enough. I think the idea that the right are these gentlesirs and the left the hysterics is fairly faulty. If anything, its the other way around. I can't remember the last time a Democrat claimed the GOP President wasn't a citizen of the US and spent years building a movement based solely on that claim. I'm fairly certain it never happened.

The right's treatment of Obama both socially (ridiculous personal claims long proven false) and politically (massive obstruction by the GOP congress) are not forgotten and pretending they didn't exist is silly. Criticisms against Trump are rooted in reality: his birtherism, his denial of climate change, his far-right social agenda, his comments about women and minorities, etc. Protesters bringing that up is fair game and frankly, how democracies should work.

I used to think this way before I started practicing Criminal law. But after interacting with criminals, I'm starting to realize that these are not just otherwise innocent and good people who fell onto hard times or had trouble with an addiction. There are genuinely bad people out there, who just want to get what they want and are perfectly willing to hurt others to get it. It seems to me that, absent a desire to change on their own part (which very few of them ever show) they will just continue to commit crimes and hurt society.

Yes many of them are addicts. However, addiction is not one of those things that someone just tries a drug and gets hooked and turns to crime. There are underlying mental issues that create an addict and those same issues tend to make them very bad people.
Overall, I agree with you. All too often diversity and inclusion are sought as an end as opposed to the means. Many situations can benefit dramatically from these as strengths. Many others can be crippled just as well.

However, when it comes to government, you don't have the option to be anything but inclusive. Anything less leads to unrest and ultimately revolt as the silent oppressed find escape valves.

This election cycle is proof that true inclusion is paramount. Not the Politically Correct inclusion Democrats are so fond of, but true inclusion, true representation.
> especially in the case of those who want to die to preserve or transfer their life-savings

I don't know about you, but I think that that is a valid reason for someone to want to control when they die.
> Most more complex languages you'd use something like lex and yacc which would add quite a bit more overhead to the tutorial.

Very few production compilers use lex/yacc type parsers, because error handling and recovery is painful. Most end up with hand-written recursive-descent parsers.
> But I assume that for people arrested for crimes in the Dutch speaking part, being jailed by someone you can't understand is Your Own Damn Fault. I mean, if they arrest Eastern Europeans then what are they going to do? Get prison wards to learn a bunch of Slav/Russian dialects?

True, did not think about that. Was more thinking about natives speaking one of the native languages.

If I would get arrested anywhere in the world, I would want my country to try everything to get me back home and be prosecuted there. If I would get arrested at home, I would want the prison staff to speak the official language of my country.

Maybe there is an opportunity here to make Dutch the official language of prisons and in consequence the official language of crime :D
This has to be a troll. Nobody can be this un-selfaware.
If you have an issue with it, maybe you should have contributed sooner.
I still think that the media had a massive influence on the election - the fact that they all were pushing a particular choice (and attacking any discussion of the negatives of that candidate in an aggressive, illiberal way) tripped the public's Pravda breaker (they went into the uncanny valley of journalism?), and killed all of her support at the margins.

As for Trump, he won with fewer votes than McCain or Romney. The suspicion caused by the spirited media advocacy (the media being one of the only groups with a lower approval rating than Congress or Clinton/Trump) made people who suspected that they had been suckered by Obama into voting for the oligarchy were absolutely sure that they were being suckered into voting for Clinton.

The US media used to be better at this. It was the advantage that we had over the USSR.

Of course you can have an opinion. My question to you is: will you be introspective about it?

You thought it was going to be a landslide because you only exposed yourself to--or only believed--information that reinforced that opinion.

Now that you know it wasn't a landslide, will you go back and look at where your opinion diverged from reality? Or will you just think "I was right after all" simply because Trump won?
I was about to say I didn't think it made a big difference but I have no idea what's going on with that intraline whitespace.
Thanks for sharing it with so much detail. Where I grew up we didn't have clubs, you had the afternoon to do whatever you want and I think I would have enjoyed to have some alternatives to do instead of staying at home or playing with the other kids in the street.
This is the biggest irony of the article. Everyone in the establishment media is trying to figure out how Trump won without their endorsement without addressing the actual issues voters cared about. It even says in this article that people suspect that the media is biased and consolidated, implies that it's actually objective and fact checking, while also acknowledging that every editorial board supported Clinton and implied that the only reason someone would vote for Trump is racism and sexism. It questions whether Facebook is too powerful while acknowledging that the actual source of information on Facebook is people's peers. What it's really questioning is whether people are too empowered to talk to each other rather than listening to authoritative sources.

Michael Moore is the liberal source that I've seen most quoted by Trump supporters. He says the reason people voted for Trump is that they are sick of a neoliberal agenda which focuses on intervention in foreign wars and Free Trade agreements which seem to be little more than corporate protectionism. They're sick of policies which have been proven to increase wealth inequality rather than enrich lower and middle class workers. They're sick of economic uncertainty in a time of unprecedented productivity. Newspapers gloss over this and focus on racial conflict, which is a real problem that needs to be addressed, but it's not the whole story, and editorial boards which generally agree with neoliberalism are unwilling to question it with any depth.
AFAIK Go pointers are closer to Java references than they are to C or C++ pointers. They mostly make the difference between "references" and "values" clear and flexible (though they do have pitfalls, value receivers versus pointer receivers are a big one) rather than move that to type-level semantics (as C# does).
This smacks of a journalist frantically attempting to remain relevant, similar to CNN saying:

Remember, it’s illegal to possess these stolen documents. It’s
different for the media. So everything you learn about this,
you’re learning from us.

Maybe if they didn't suck, people would still go to them for news. But as it stands, journalists with that "proclivity for fact checking" that the author mentions universally failed to see Trump winning. Their echo chamber is no better than most peoples' Facebook feeds these days.
Good article until an uncloseable box ruined it.

Devs, Stop doing this.

I don't recall people demonstrating and burning garbage cans and burning his effigy and chanting #notmypresident. Do they mean it, do they have another president somewhere else?

The response has been very vitriolic and visceral. It's not the way to seek common ground and find a way forward. This is the recipe to antagonize and seek distance and further fracturing.
Don't discourage them. This is the "see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of their women" phase. Let the victors enjoy it for a bit longer.

Trump won because people are dumb.
The Democratic establishment chose the most corrupt figure head, and Trump is a living meme of the degraded trollish society that encompasses most of the internet.

Who would vote for someone who gets a fundamentalist christian as a VP in 2016 and calls themselves intelligent let alone a secular alt-right or what ever? He's also anti-climate change.
I'm sorry but no matter how scuzzy or bitchy Shillary was, there was no way I was going to vote, or give a vote to that clown.
https://www.ft.com/content/c715e806-a66e-11e6-8b69-02899e8bd... for a non-paywalled version.
"States rights" is definitely a Republican slogan, but in truth it's applied very selectively. Witness attempts at the federal level to ban abortion and gay marriage.
I think the complaint is less than the fact that there is a majority white populace, and more shock that this group voted in a way that is feared to disenfranchise minority groups.

That said, I think a large lesson can be learned here for the next race and by the Democrats. I'm an Asian who grew up in the Midwest. I encountered some racism growing up, but overall have fond memories, and I have a lot of friends who aren't "open-minded" by some standards, but if I'm only more "open-minded", it's through circumstance of being in a minority group of <3% of where I lived.

So I don't see those fellow Midwesterners as "racist" even if they might be considered that out on the coasts, and they don't see themselves as that either. While I might prioritize how a candidate seems to view minorities, a whole lot of people won't, and I can sure sympathize for folks who put the hope of American jobs over a candidate's perceived viewpoints.

Looking at the electoral map and all the surprise wins for Trump, people seemed to prioritize their hope in a revitalized American economy over misgivings of Trump's behaviors. That doesn't mean everyone who voted for Trump is a bigot or racist. Unemployment is usually a more pressing concern for people.
That's a prediction, not the polls. The polls indicated about a 3-4% preference for Hillary at the national level. She ended up with a 1-2% preference, so the polls were at least as accurate as in the past (nationally at least).

The fact that CNN interpreted the data poorly doesn't mean the data was bad. FiveThirtyEight stated repeatedly that Clinton's lead was not insurmountable and the a typical polling error could easily flip it to Trump.
My opinion here, but I think what made the difference was the media insulting the people for Hillary (or Bernie). Trump's comments came from mostly him.

It must have been that the populace took it differently?
That's why we have a legal immigration route.
I hesitated on using BNF. It seemed overkill

Presumably because there's no real nesting of terms in assembly code? Personally, I find BNF so simple that I'd probably still use it for describing the grammar, but lots of parser generator technology is heavier machinery than required (though a recursive descent parser built from a regular grammar is essentially a DFA if your language/compiler offers tail call elimination).
More blacks and hispanics voted for Trump than Romney. They just weren't vocal before the election.

"Trump claimed 29 percent of the Hispanic vote on Tuesday compared to Romney's 27 percent in 2012. With blacks, exit polls show Trump claimed 8 percent of the vote to the previous Republican nominee's 6 percent." [1]

You're taking it back a step to asking "why sexual reproduction"?

The original question is... assuming that we have mandatory sexual reproduction, why do we have a 1 to 1 ratio?
I'm sure people didn't like being called deplorable. But they weren't called that for no reason. They weren't called that because they were simply supporting a Republican. They weren't called that for supporting Romney or McCain.

Trump is a cancer of a person and supporting a man and the policies of a man who's openly transitioning our election system to one based on lies and racist demagoguery is simply, demonstrably deplorable. Relative to values like truth and tolerance that that we should share/ostensibly share.

Of course it was careless of Clinton to get caught saying it, but the deplorable behavior had to exist before she had a reason to comment on it.
Pcunite is suggesting that they thought they would win the election, but the instrument measuring the outcome would be corrupted by voter fraud. In other words they were surprised by the true outcome being the one that was recognized.

I love the look of the Go gopher, but you're not wrong. There's nothing wrong with having a little fun, but there is something wrong with prolonged immaturity. Where's that line? I don't know. Is the Go's use of the gopher on one side or the other of that line? I honestly don't know.
Andrew Ng: "Here’s one rule of thumb that speaks to its disruptiveness:

"If a typical person can do a mental task with less than one second of thought, we can probably automate it using AI either now or in the near future."
Seems a lot of the Go fans I read are former Python users burned by dynamic typing, so I agree they'll end up happy (or at least happier than Rust) with Go. Though one more option you might want to consider is Nim: http://nim-lang.org/ (It's pretty easy to get up to speed in it, especially for a Python user so long as they're not expecting to use fancy OO features.)
Sounds logical, but then again, how fundamental is the "Q" in "QM"?
Bacterial genomes are much, much simpler than animal genomes. They reproduce very quickly, and even if many bacteria suffer from a problematic (or fatal) mutation, others will be OK, and some may even have adaptations to changing conditions.

Animals have much more complex genomes. They are more at risk from mutations, and they cannot reproduce as quickly. There is more incentive to "get it right", if you will. With asexual reproduction, selection occurs at the level of the genome, meaning you are as good as your "worst" gene. You can't get rid of harmful mutations, and it seems like (complex) species that get stuck in asexual reproduction go extinct.

With sexual reproduction, selection can occur at the level of the gene, allowing beneficial mutations or recombinations to spread through a population AND correcting (many) harmful mutations.
I second this. A fantastic book
I feel like if we eliminated the Electoral College, presidential candidates would only visit areas like La New York City Boston Chicago Atlanta to teach the maximum number of voters.

Instead of removing it, are there ways we can improve it?
> Trump, like him or not, be he good or not, won 30% of the Hispanic vote --despite all the negativity their community spoke against him... He had more black votes than Romney and won more white women than Hillary.

Be it because of Trump qualities, or because Hillary is so bad, it would be interesting if reasons can be explained.
Yeah, it's vitriolic. It's like coming in here and telling everyone that they are child-killers, because of the numerous drone killings that the Obama administration has sanctioned.
It also contains a link to the tracking dashboard that leaks all analytics. It's the "http://extremetracking.com/<redacted>" link at the very bottom of the source. Among others, it lists visitor IPs and referrers. That information really should not be public. But honestly, I wouldn't have noticed without your comment - uBlock Origin prevented loading of the tracker.
> I've solved this in my programming by finally coming to grips with the fact that channels are unidirectional, and if you want any bidirectional communication whatsoever, up to and including the client telling the source for whatever reason it has closed, even that one single bit, that must occur over another channel of its own. Clients must never close their incoming channels. This does mean that many things that Go programmers sometimes try to bash into one channel need to be two channels.

Erlang got it right (again), by sending messages to processes they can only be unidirectional.
^^Uhhhh this so much. I mean its only a matter of days before Trump and Pence personally take to the streets to start rounding up and executing everyone who's not a white male. These people have the audacity to think that the same media that so ardently pushed Hilary could have also been pushing a false Trump narrative. /s

So salty, I love it. praise KEK
Also, they fixed this a couple months ago it seems. Page 22 of the comments in OP link.
I don't know how, but frankly i'd love to eliminate all simple panics. Nil pointers and channels seem two big culprits, offhand.

Granted, i left out nil pointer/interface panics because it seems unrealistic given how difficult it was for Rust to get rid of nil pointers. I'm not sure Go 2.0 could do it and still be considered Go.
He's a glaring inheritance scum. He inherited his wealth and assets from daddy and has never made a monumental venture outside of that. Trump winery is a joke, that's like me doing computer repair and odd jobs while my main job is a programmer or professor... It ain't that much.
