>Because newspaper endorsement used to have more weight.

Newspapers also used to be local organs, owned by the local upper class, staffed with the local working class, covering news that people could check against their lived experience.

Nowadays newspapers are heavily nationalized and internationalized, owned by media conglomerates, and staffed with the kind of upper-class white-collar professionals who could afford many years of unpaid internships before getting a paid job. The information printed may even be veridical, but it's often not checkably veridical, so it gets down-weighted and mixed in with all the other uncheckable shit you read on the internet.

You can also build enums by building a struct with a `Tag` field. This works well and generally has better performance characteristics than using interfaces.
I couldn't agree more.

I'm as liberal as they get, but Trump appealed to a broad demographic. Reducing it to "uneducated whites" does a disservice to the very foundations of American democracy, as it dismisses out of hand the very real concerns of nearly 50% of the American electorate.

It would behoove everyone, including those in the media and the political system, to step back and get in touch with the values and concerns of those folks. Without that, the US is only going to become more polarized... and I'm not sure how much longer that can go on.

Donald Trump - a serial philanderer that has been married three times - hardly had any appeal to evangelicals. The reality is that a huge chunk of votes for Trump were anti-Hillary votes, not pro-Trump votes. You don't have to be an uneducated redneck, as Brokaw and other liberals believe, to have serious problems with Hillary Clinton.

I live in Nevada - a "battleground state" - and I saw almost no pro-Hillary commercials or campaign flyers. Rather, she ran almost entirely on an anti-Trump platform. She didn't think anyone wanted to know her stances on the issues. Running that kind of campaign is dangerous when your own likability is a serious issue.

The sole performance metric of GC is not pause times! Throughput matters just as much if not more!

GC pauses are not the only reason to use Rust. Rust is not "little Go" that you reach for only if you don't want GC. You might want package management, data-race-free concurrency, a mature optimization framework, runtime-free operation, concurrent data structures, fast C interfacing, etc. etc.

Indeed, but I think if they REALLY don't want to change the Go language, an officially blessed std library of "go generate"-able collections and algorithms would be an ok workaround for private use inside a package. It's extra work for the users, but you'd get widely-used, widely-tested, type-safe collections. The main problem would be interoperability when two packages independently generate an RBTree<int64,string> that Go thinks are different types.

No, there's a lot more. See my reply to your sibling comment.

> I would throw "safety" in there, but many (most?) safety-critical applications are written in C, and Go is certainly safer than C.

This argument doesn't make any sense to me. Why is being better than a language from 1978 our sole criterion? Shouldn't we try to make our software as reliable as possible?

Besides, Go is not any safer than C when it comes to data races. I care about those a lot too.

I also share the same experience, I really wanted to get into Atom but found the experience clunky, can't quite put a finger on it, but Atom felt more like a web app running on a thin client, whereas VS Code, while I know it's the same deal, feels very much like a desktop IDE.

Ask HN: Would America be better off as 50 separate countries?
What if we de-evolved into 50 states.

Each state is very different from other states in the way they vote, and demographics.

If we could peaceably devolve into separate countries, retaining current borders - with no federal taxes,
or government other than the state's own elected government/taxes.

Where each state is free to choose and setup it's own constitution.

Yet keep a small 'union' body to manage things like inter-state policing/extradition, and travel.

Would that be such a bad thing?

All the pictures of the Box Creek Wilderness (and the Google map of Union Mills) make it seem like it is a poor candidate for housing. The map of the wilderness looks very mountainous (it's very close to the Blue Ridge Mountains) and the Google Maps seems to show any human development, protected wilderness area or not, mostly limited to the rivers and valleys. So that will not be a concern in my opinion for a long time if ever.

From the notes in this article, (http://www.citizen-times.com/story/news/local/2016/11/08/box...) I get the impression that Sweeney bought the land a fair bit of time ago (perhaps when the real estate bubble burst as indicated in the article). The inspiration for this recent protection came from an eminent domain issue a couple years back where a power company wanted to run a power transmission line through his property.

There's more information about this here as well (http://mountainx.com/news/community-news/rutherford_electric...).

It would be interesting to get a more local perspective; my first impression though is its not completely walled off from the public (guided hikes and a 10K trail run are mentioned). As long as local opinion is relatively in favor of keeping things unspoiled I see this as a positive.

I've tried both for a personal project. Kotlin is a fun language, but you've got all the headaches of the JVM ecosystem to deal with (tedious build tooling, deployment headaches, egregious memory consumption, etc). OTOH, Go is simple to pick up, and it's ecosystem is great. Everything compiles into a single binary, so deployment is moving a single file--no runtime dependencies, no JVM to configure, etc.
The article says right at the top that a significant chunk of the decline is the police turning an blind eye towards drug use and even trafficking.

I wonder how much their immigration policy has to do with it as well? If they were accepting hundreds of thousands of refugees from war torn countries their crime rate might not be so low.
I'd suggest no. If Rails is the right tool for the job, there is no reason to not use Rails.

If Rails is not the right tool for the job, reimplementing Rails on top of Go isn't going to make it the right tool.

It is possible that some future "killer app" will emerge out of the Go ecosystem like Rails did with Ruby, but the effort to build something like Rails to duplicate Rails is not a particularly good use of someone's time.

Trump won both because in todays world whoever screams louder wins, and because of lack of competition.
The real shame isn't his victory, but the fact that a 300 million people country could not produce better candidates on both sides.

Don't take it as offensive, in my country too the same happens at every election: politicians speak to people bellies, not their brains because today voters have pretty much stopped using their brains and follow whoever pushes the right buttons during speeches (god, family, safety, immigration, jobs, etc).

One other thing: Trump got about the same fraction of the Latino vote as Romney in 2012 and McCain in 2008, to within exit poll survey error. The actual cited number for him is between those for McCain and Romney. See http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/11/09/hillary-clin...

So apparently he's no more abnormal than McCain and Romney were, to those voters. Or at least they felt their other options this time were a lot worse. Or something. It's hard to draw a hard conclusion from the numbers here.
>"Also interestingly, part of his motivation is explicitly monetary: he wants his life savings to go to his family, not a nursing home."

That sentiment may seem strange to most people but I think it's more than just a logical conclusion, it's an emotional one as well.

We recently lost one of our family's matriarch's (grandmother-in-law) after her long battle with a failing cardiovascular system. After one particularly difficult evening, she realized her time was about to come and asked her husband to stay by her side while she passed in their home. Unfortunately, her end did not come easily and a relative convinced my grandfather-in-law to call an ambulance when she went into respiratory arrest as it was shockingly painful to watch. She was taken to the hospital and placed in the ICU where she was stabilized but only at the footstep of death's door. The miracles of modern medicine managed to keep her borderline comatose body alive for almost a month in the ICU before the family could come to agreement on sending her to hospice.

That month in the ICU cost almost everything they had worked their entire lives for and was intended to be passed down to their children and grandchildren. Two lifetime's worth of hard work and thoughtful planning went to cover the cost of just one last month of "life".

My point in sharing that story is that the true cost of that month isn't measured in dollars and cents, it's measured in the loss of the legacy they had worked so hard to build. Neither of them viewed their estate as something as simple as "money". Instead they saw it as things like "college tuition for the grandchildren", "a wedding gift to help the grandkids start their married life", "land my ancestors have lived on for generations", and "one last vacation for the whole family". That's what I mean when I saw they lost their legacy and why it's as much or more of an emotional decision than a cold calculation of financial realities.

Please, no. There are plenty of companies that respect experience and the wisdom that comes with age. It may be challenging to find them, but don't go management just because "you're getting too old." If you love programming, keep doing it, and find a place to work that suits you.

The question asks about IA-64 (Itanium) and IA-32. You're talking about the RAX register which is x86-64.

If you call malloc without a prototype in scope, bad things can happen. Just because it happens to work out OK with the platform and compiler that you tested doesn't mean that it will work everywhere or that it will keep working in the future.
How Blockchain Will Be the Next Big Disruptive Force in Media
thanks. right on all counts.
While I'd like to have generics in go, one of the upsides of the lack of generics is that your code becomes less idiosyncratic and more idiomatic. Too often in C++ for example, I find myself frustrated reading code where templates are unintentionally over-used because the programmer needlessly introduced an abstraction where the concrete would have sufficed. There is a certain pleasure in moving from the concrete to the abstract and finding the inner connection between things, but this can also get in the way or distract from the immediate problem.

The same issue comes up in Common Lisp where you find a codebase with heavy use of macros which effectively build a DSL within the program. Working alone, this can be fun, and can produce elegant code, but it means anyone new to a project needs to first familiarize themselves with the world you've built.

When many people work on a project it helps if everyone speaks the Queen's English, as it were.

Still, generics would be nice.
This may seem pedantic. However, it's not uncommon for a relative to log into a dead users account. Thus showing up on DAU and MAU even after death. Users will log in if for no other reason than to notify people that the user passed and mention the funeral date etc. What makes this significant is these accounts where real and FB really can't get accurate numbers for this so it's all internal estimates.

So, yes FB's official numbers take this and many other factors into account. However, if their internal estimate is say 5%-40% of accounts are fake they are likely to use a number close to 5% than 40%.
Seasonal vs. Evergreen Content: What’s Best for Your Website?
Was there more to his quote than what you wrote above?

I've seen both shows, and it seems to me like he's saying this election was more about rural/middle America that it was about urban/coastal America, just based on the typical viewers of the shows.

To me, being from a rural area doesn't mean you're racist, or uneducated - even if you don't have a degree, there are plenty of other ways to learn, and also plenty of useful things to learn that aren't taught in any college.

But - I'm Canada, not the U.S., so although I get a ton of exposure to U.S. media up here, it's definitely possible I'm lacking some important bits of context that would help me understand better.

Yeah it is obviously a lot easier to parse than traditional, imperative languages like C. I just do not like the phrase, as it gives this "magic" vibe to Scheme. I mean its syntax is beautiful and simple, but there is definitely no magic there.

I'll also recommend Argentina, though I've only been to Buenos Aires. Enough people speak English that you can get by pretty decently without a lot of Spanish knowledge, and it's a ferry ride to Uruguay (Montevideo, Colonia and others). Similarly, you can travel to Uruguay and make an easy trip to BA.

Regarding phones: I picked up a Nexus 5X specifically to start with Project Fi. I highly recommend this for traveling now. You can keep your US number, get free text messaging, inexpensive data (not the cheapest at $10/GB, but not terrible, and it's sorta pay-as-you-go, you get credit for unused data).

It is; you are just making up rules and calling them "logic". These are just your arguments, and they are flawed and inconclusive.

Try putting wrapped_malloc above main. Or at least declaring it above main.
If you were trying to implement a language with assignment statements like:

x := y + z

or

f(y + z)

or

g(f(x, y))

you'd need to be able to evaluate expressions first. Maybe it's just simpler to illustrate a smaller language first?
