Maybe.. maybe, but it's not secret this is how the system works. It was front and center in 2000 --a year of utmost disappointment to me --I even blamed good old Nader. But I know it was truly Gore's fault. He just didn't convince enough people --that was _his_ job to do. And he failed.

So, here, it is no surprise. We know how the system works --there is no reason to cry when you know how the system works but it goes against you. It's sour grapes.

Yea. This fact is commonly being forgotten. Not on is the man anti-LGBTQ he's a total con artist. His money is from his father, he's been bankrupt a number of times only to be bailed out by his father and banks that peddle his name for their own benefit.

He has no conception of togetherness, of sacrificing one's own goals for the good of the larger group. He's part of the gang that's shit on the Constitution, obstructed government for their own petty reasons and have no issue with legislating to punish people that didn't vote for them.

Sadly the Democrats will try to take the high road, give in on terrible laws just to make it appear that we're not obstructing in hopes of - I don't even know what.

Everyone is singing the praises of the Republicans for seeing the real America except for the fact that the real America is a scared, selfish bunch of folks.

> racist demagogue

I don't think you understand. The very word "racist" has lost all effect. It is not an argument. It is not a disqualifier. It is meaningless and hollow.

If there is one thing the left should learn from this election, it is that screaming hollow epithets like racist, homophobic, misogynist, etc, are no longer sufficient to scare us, silence us, and cow us into submission.

The idea of the Nest systems (in a very distant way) was good. Nest itself won't be able to deliver. However, the idea Nest used to push itself wasn't a new one. It's something that's been repeating for years, that existed on display in movies, and that many (who are rich enough) already have (fully automated and "cool" home systems).

Also, the way they are implementing all of these things seem brute force, crude, and bulky. The house is a finite space filled with a specific set of things. Linking them all together (and to a central control) and having them all work together automatically seems like a very straightforward thing. So much so that many hobbyist Engineers already have their home systems working that way (and in a much more elegant and scalable way than the crap being pushed).

The only thing I'm really excited about are the LED light bulbs. Not the wireless control and programmable nature of them (though that's cool), but the range of color temperatures and intensities they make available and then the fact that they can programmatically be controlled/changed/accessed.

That is, it's cool to me to be able to buy a light bulb, then be able to link it with a clock and light sensor, then have it automatically adjust the intensity and color temperature of its output throughout the day as necessary.

But then LED light bulbs (programmable in that way, even) have been around for years.

Your talking about fear not actual danger. Crime statistics are very much down from the 1950's. As are playground accidents and automobile fatalities..

To be fair. I agree she could and should have used better phrasing. I can also understand people like Sanders for criticise her. Maybe she even was bigoted 20 years age when she said that, or maybe she still is. But you have to interpret her words extremely uncharitably to infer that.

Here we are trying to figure out if here comments about gangs could be problematic while comparing her to Trump, who said this about mexican immigrants, not just mexican gangs: "They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people!".

It works just fine in solitary bees. Eusocial insects like the best-known species of ants and bees have a totally different system [0]. Their colonies operate as "super-organisms" that tend to be selected for/against as a whole, rather than individually. The vast majority of them are sterile workers anyway.

I agree with you completely. I do see the right reacting in unfortunate ways as well. The militia groups especially, it's a very unproductive response and increases fear and escalates tensions, very unnecessarily.

That seems right in theory - the past few decades pretty much the same states have voted for the exact same side. But there have been plenty elections where that wasn't the case.

For example, pretty much everyone voted for Reagan, and Kennedy. There have been times when the country was very much for one candidate. So I wouldn't say we're completely divided all of the time, just in the past few decades.
Had a quick chat this morning with the people that worked on it. The package rebar3_elixir_compile[0] makes this pretty easy. However, our target Elixir lib is not a public hex package, which requires using git submodules.

Not a seamless setup, but it does work. As the sibling comment suggests, perhaps using mix for everything would help.

Nope, we don't use it but it is a very cool project. We have SDKs for Android, Objective-C, Swift, Java and Node.js so far. That's why we couldn't us it anyways. We don't want to compete with open source projects like this. Our goal is to offer easy integrations for all platforms and all major use cases (not only cloud storage). Btw, to support open source, we made our solution free for non commercial projects.
It is just a typo. What makes it "puzzling", though, is that it compiles.

In my experience there is one property of Go that minimizes the need for a good ORM, and that is that the problem domain Go excels in does not have great overlap with the problem domain that ORMs excel in. What interfacing with a relational database does come up is of the nature that does not fit well into the ORM model anyway.

Of course, you can write software in the same domain where ORMs excel in Go, but I am not sure it is the best tool for that job. A good ORM would go a long way to making that less true, but I'm not sure even that would put Go at the same level as tools that are geared towards that type of problem. Go, like all tools, is still targeted at a certain class of problems.
This seems like a very poorly designed piece of malware, not only does it rely upon running a bot with a 3rd party who would probably gladly shut it down, all the bot's details are hardcoded in the malware, so the whack-a-mole enforcement problem doesn't even need to be considered.

But maybe that's just part of the bait? If you're trying to test the "time to ban" of various communications platforms, you would probably write malware like this.

My thesis is that money only gets you a hearing. After that, it depends the most on whether people like what they're hearing from you.

That's bad logic. There are always dozens of candidates and activists trying lots of different tacts and strategies to get votes and drive opinions. One of those turns out to win in certain circumstances. That doesn't necessarily mean its author was a genius to have thought of it, just that they got lucky.

It's a darwinian thing. We don't credit the lobe finned fish for being such geniuses to have developed limbs which could hold them out of the water.
I spent a lot of time in Scouts learning close order drill, indoors. Seriously. Not much use, although definitely true to the "muscular Christianity" that gave rise to Scouting. However, I spent plenty of time in the woods when I didn't have to go to Scouts in the indoor community hall, so that was good. The Hitler Youth movement was modeled after the Scouts, so it would be interesting to see a study there...
In theory I would like to agree with you that it is indeed a good idea to take the opinions of experts in to consideration when deciding on such complex issues. I suppose my disagreement lies in whether I can really consider many of these people experts when it comes to the motivations of poor rural white voters. The US in an enormous country and I think we are far more geographically, economically, and culturally segregated than we like to admit. Based on what I've read and heard from journalists in the week prior to, and even more so after the election, and I admit that I may well be wrong in my perception of the situation, I don't get the feeling that these journalists have any meaningful insight into the experiences of poor rural workers. This seems to be a growing problem where two very different populations, the rural working class and the more cosmopolitan urban dwellers, have very little interaction with one another. I think it can be very difficult to empathize with those you don't understand, and certainly very easy to demonize those for the same reason.

Here is one - WALK:

https://github.com/lxn/walk

A friend had used it in a commercial project, and IIRC he said it worked okay. Not tried it myself yet. I think it wraps the Win32 GUI SDK but also has a declarative mode [1] (at least for GUI widget layout) on top, or something like that - only looked at some sample code briefly.

[1] meaning you can declare your GUI layout declaratively, but in Go code - it does not need XML or some other language or markup format like some declarative approaches do - IIRC.

I actually wish the Go team had built support for some / many of the major GUI toolkits on major OS's (at least) from near the start of Go's development. I realize that there could have been, or still could be, some issues with that, due to differences between Go and (C and C++) [2] models (object file format, calling conventions, stack and heap layout, etc. - basically compiler and compiler-output-related stuff), and hence it may not be easy to create bindings from the former to the latter. Not familiar with this area.

[2] since many of the major GUI toolkits are natively written in C or C++, so a Go wrapper would need to bind to them.

Not complaining though, I know what they (the Go team and community) have already done is a huge achievement anyway.
> Overall though, Go is probably still the more practical choice between the two languages (due to Rust's incredibly high barrier to entry).

It depends a lot on your use case. I wouldn't say that Go is unconditionally more practical: there are cases in which you just can't use it.
>The growing anti-establishment, anti-globalism/technocrat, "tired of the same old crap" sentiment has been obvious for years

When isn't this true when people are fed such positions by demagogues? A lot of Trump voters are middle class and upper middle class people with relatively cushy lives making decent salaries, have healthcare, and have never been drafted to war, never begged for food, etc.

Yet somehow these people have been taught that they're country isn't "great" and that only a radical restyling of things via a strict conservative agenda will "fix" things. I recall Bush having the same sentiment and tell me, were you or any of these voters better off after 8 years of Bush?

I also want to point out that right now the unemployment rate is at a historic low of 4.9% and was nearly double that in 2009. The GDP per capita in the US is $53,000, literally 8x that in China and 4x that in Russia.

The reality here is that you can have a rational and nuanced view of politics, society, your country, your economy, etc. Or you can engage in negative politics and tell people who own homes and two cars that they've been "shafted by liberals" and that if they only implement various crazy schemes, including undoing precious regulations that keep our environment safe, that only then will they be "great."

Do you think, that perhaps, this kind of rhetoric convinces people to vote against their own interests and the kinds of people who actually will benefit from a Trump presidency might be the kinds of people who benefited from a Bush presidency, that's to say the connected upper class? Because that's what it looks like to me.

edit: I can't reply below but there's a big difference between encouraging economic growth via traditional methods and a radical restructuring and an anti-globalization promise that will 'bring factory jobs' back to the heartland that is literally impossible unless you start paying people $1 and hour. The former is what every politician promises and latter is what Trump promises. These are stark differences in how to speak to the electorate and how to make realistic promises a government can carry out.
Do all these services provide equivalent or abstractable guarantees? Amazon S3, for example, provides 'read-after-write' consistency, meaning once you've received a positive response to a put operation, you can expect to be immediately able to retrieve that object. But it used to be 'eventually consistent', meaning it was possible to receive a positive response to a put, but then not be able to read the object immediately after.

Similar guarantees are needed around how soon after deleting something can readers expect to get 404s.

If these guarantees differ, you might find abstracting over the stores doesn't work the way you'd like...
Reminds me of a great Rachel Carson quote:

“A child’s world is fresh and new and beautiful, full or wonder and excitement. It is our misfortune that for most of us that clear-eyed vision, that true instinct for what is beautiful and awe-inspiring, is dimmed and even lost before we reach adulthood. If I had influence with the good fairy who is supposed to preside over the christening of all children, I should ask that her gift to each child in the world be a sense of wonder so indestructible that it would last throughout life, as an unfailing antidote against the boredom and disenchantment of later year…the alienation from the sources of our strength.”

>Except of course Trump has no ability to revitalize any thing.

>Trump is a con man...

We don't know that yet. We have to wait and see. What happens every time we vote for a politician is that we vote in hope that they will be able to accomplish what they set out to do. Hillary supporters place their hope in Hillary because they don't believe Trump can do what he said he will do. And Trump supporters place their hope in Trump because they don't believe Hillary can do what she said she'll do. We just won't know who can actually accomplish their goals until 4 years later.

>Considering that the US economy has been on a steady recovery during the Obama...

This is irrelevant for Trump supporters who lost their jobs, their livelihood. Obama (campaigning for Hillary), kept telling them the economy is good. "Well, if the economy is so good, then where did all the jobs go?" It's a bad argument, and can not win any Trump supporter over. Because at the end of the day, they still have no jobs, and they want jobs, and Trump is the only one talking about bringing jobs back, creating jobs, making the economy better, etc.
