The only time we're writing new Python 2.7 code is when we're working with Twisted (and they are vigorously migrating to Python 3). All other new code is Python 3.5 based and we're not looking back at all.

Using asyncio has been a delight for a lot of the small, quick web services we need to write (though not a replacement for Twisted). Looking forward to seeing the asyncio infrastructure grow.
As a native Montréaler, this hit me really, really hard. The man was a legend, and hopefully his legacy will live on in the city.

I'd really like to see McGill, our common alma mater, commemorate him in some way.
Peter Thiel is a neocon nightmare who thinks the 19th Amendment was a mistake.

Can we have a black bar for America, please?
Can you refute the statistical assertion Trump is making in that statement?
Really cool! beyond the generation, I learned about https://github.com/viebel/klipse which looks pretty cool. The whole post also makes me want to look more into clojure.

Aside: Is it OK to not have a <head> element?
The ultimate delicious irony is that the DNC and Hillary campaign colluded to elevate Trump as the GOP's candidate because they thought he'd be easier to beat.

http://www.inquisitr.com/3696795/you-all-know-that-the-clint...

And we also learned from the Podesta leaks that the DNC and Hillary campaign colluded to sabotage Bernie's campaign.

All the while the Correct The Record Super PAC created a media and information bubble across social media.

So now we are left with people having the biggest case of cognitive dissonance of their lives.
A solar farm has higher energy density than you might think. New York City could get ~100 gigawatts of solar power without importing anything. Further, if anyplace used close to as much energy as provided by sunlight it would get really hot.
> Italy you might have been daily frustrated by the poor reliability of the railways but that didn't mean that voting for Mussolini would have been a good idea overall.

Except you would know Mussolini had clear fascist positions. Trump was a ex-democrat and never far from the spotlight. He does not talk much about gay marriage and abortions. He doesnt have clear positions, although he does have directions like reversing illegal immigration, less interventionism. It seems none of them were judged bad enough to make trump supporters reverse their decision.

That's where the diagnosis of the democrats has gone wrong: they think it's possible that half the US is legally stupid, unable to think. They would have to back that up with statistics, iq tests etc.
Then I'm with you. That's the attitude I'd like to see from the left.

But it's not the attitude of so many who did call people sexist for voting for Trump, and of Clinton herself who said half of Trump's supporters were "deplorable".

I hope people like you and me can take back the left from "stereotypical white knight, social justice warriors seeking safe spaces and stifling dissent on college campuses".

(And the quote you found ridiculous wasn't from me, but I thought the author meant from a wealthy background vs a poor background.)
Yes. The filesystem in the container is a real filesystem backed by the disk.

How this happens is dependent on the storage driver used.
The `aufs` driver (default when available), as well as `overlay(2)` and `vfs` drivers just sit on top of the existing filesystem at `/var/lib/docker` (or the defined docker root).
BTRFS, ZFS, and devicemapper must be pre-configured to even use and depends on how you configure these, but still generally would be on an actual disk.

Another reason why we need strong, unbreakable encryption. Can you imagine something like this getting hacked/cracked?
I think if you give an unconscionable liar a megaphone and don't challenge him on his lies, he can get the poorly educated to buy into those lies. I also think that if you get told repeatedly that there's a terrorist threat just waiting to kill you and there are poor migrants waiting to take your money and your culture, that you might be inclined to just take that at face value after a while.
Well.. you're parsing a bit, aren't you?

Clinton received the most votes, that is, the votes of most voters. The number of votes she received didn't represent a majority of the votes cast, but she still received the vote of most voters.
Here's an alternative way to think about "desperation" (not saying this is necessarily the right way).

We have a lot of people in this country who are struggling financially. Their choice of geographic location, education, and skills (things they choose) aren't lining up with the 2016 economy (which they didn't choose). They voted Republican.

We also have a lot of people who are struggling socially and financially. They were born Mexican, Muslim, or homosexual (things they are) and are scared because other people want to deport them, jail them, or kick them out of the military. They voted Democrat.

Now, the Democrats offered to work with the Republicans to give them more choices and options. The Republicans said, "No way. We're staying put and rolling the dice with your civil rights."

Is it fair that a lot of people might feel like their freedom got sold out this week?
And the US intervened to cut off julian assange's internet access. They gave hillary debate questions . It's a veritable jungle between media and politics over there.
The "worst candidate evah!" is obviously subjective because there are many many people who are very passionate about Trump. Because I see them on my Facebook feed and I saw them leading up to election day waving signs at major intersections.

Again, the idea that people unenthusiastically moped down to the polls to cast their vote for a candidate they didn't want just doesn't line up with the facts.
Yes

But maybe it is. You can also put people on a VR environment and have them "walk" there (see experiments by Nicolelis et. al.) and try to capture signals like that
My company has been writing a significant portion of their commercial code in Python since version 1.5 and (almost) everything new in Python 3.5.

Well, there's a startup for everything I suppose.
Is it really cronyism? It seems like most of the "qualified people" don't share his vision, so why would you hire someone that is so opposed to what you're doing?

If Trump were a Silicon Valley CEO, we would be saying he's not hiring them due to a "cultural fit."
> Massively abundant, cheap, clean energy should be one of humanity's top priorities.

What about the big fusion reactor in the Sky? Shouldn't we go all in on solar? Why is so difficult to harness that source? Maybe the same obstacles make fusion so difficult to pursue.
There's a difference between antivirus-induced removal (such as this, where it does not affect all users, and could be caused by a leftover of third-party antivirus FWIW) and a proper blacklist entry in the migration system Windows uses.

The latter leaves no traces such as shortcuts/uninstall entries and actually shows a notification to the user; the former is as 'rough' as just removing the executable.
I agree. Logically, it should be more acceptable to have animals as test subjects that can benefit all mankind vs being a tasty treat for an individual. But we all have are cognitive dissonances, without exception. Thats just a quirk of being human

This basically sums it all up. The news anchor deserves a promotion for saving what little dignity they still have left.
> does not have experience in public office

Reagan didn't.

They can just surround themselves with people who know.

I think its good though. The longer you spend in politics, the more favours you owe people. Political capital. Don't you get excited at the prospect of a leader not beholden to any special interests at all?

> Is that a fair characterization of our positions based on this limited conversation?

In terms of risk/reward, I see higher risk and higher reward. You see higher risk and no change in reward.

I think it is a once in a lifetime opporuntity to have someone not beholden to special interests, and doesn't owe any favours.
I would call them fibers and green threads, respectively. No idea about Active Oberon.
Thank you, I will try to research this for myself.
> Not only can Facebook say you are a Trump supporter, but they can know by how much and as time series!

That's a fascinating insight. They also have the geographic data and could slice/dice to get a sense of electoral college. After the systematic polling error that caught everyone off-guard, we will probably see some innovations in the next 4 years that will get incorporated into the ensemble models (e.g. 538). Perhaps Facebook will release some sort of sentiment data. Although that may get a little creepy.
One of my fear is an extremely big generation gap in the future when we find a transhuman-level technology that can only work if done from an early age. Exocortex interface comes to mind.

Then you would have an entire generation thinking millions of times deeper, broader, and faster than the previous one, and communication mostly broken. I sort of fear this scenario because I would be on the wrong side of it.
It was suggested elsewhere that you would assess the value yourself, so if the only utility of your work is to hang it in your living room, you could claim it has $0 copyright value, and thus pay no tax.

The implication is that if someone decides to copy it, your claim for damages in court is based on that $0. But if your intent is to keep a private copy in your living room without the willingness to share with the public who gave you the privilege of copyright in the first place, perhaps that still remains fair.
The analogy you present, Public office : no experience as a public official :: doctor :: no experience as a doctor

I don't find it very accurate.

It might be more accurate to say public executive : corporate executive :: public doctor : doctor with a private practice

There are plenty of real concerns that arise from the accurate version, enough that here is no need to impose an inaccurate analogy to spawn more concern than is already warranted. But the one you proposed conveniently overlooks the executive nature that is in common between Trump's previous roles and the role of a president. Much of the support for Trump has come from this notion that the polite "statesmen" of recent administrations have succeeded with manners and managing their public personas, but have failed as executives, and that the populace has suffered as a result of their executive failures. This was the driving rhetoric behind the Trump campaign. It was hatred, sure, but hatred for incompetence. And this is the criticism that the left failed to effectively address. It is the reason why they lost.

You can mask over mistakes by applying inaccurate analogies, but you won't win over your critics in doing so. In politics, that's what matters. This election cycle we found out just how much.
I thought that it's a standard practice to use dummy data on dev setups. Odd that it was loaded with live (production) data.

As an aside, if the dev server was compromised, chances are that the production environment is vulnerable too.
They're being ironic. This is part of the Ruby culture in general, and Jonan and Aaron in particular tend to double-down on it. I don't think there's any hostility to Haskell or anti-intellectualism here.
Well, this is exactly the goal of this pattern.

One thing I didn't mention is that I use MVC per component, not for the full application. (I use something else for the global Application level).

So, every major component has its own MVC. I.e. One page on mobile listing a items with a bunch of interaction would have its own MVC.

And why it's robust and efficient:

Very easy to reason about the data and write unit tests. The whole data is in the State, and only the controller can alter that state.

The view is completely decoupled because it can't change the state, it can only declaratively render something (we use React with immutable). And this is also very easy to test and mock with fake data.

As for performance, I've tried various strategies over the past few years, and I find Immutable data structure + virtual Dom pretty damn amazing. I personally use React.js + Immutable.js, mostly for the great documentation but this is definitely not the only libraries.

And if the view becomes that much more complex, then it's time to spawn a new component with its own MVC.
One big difference between Ruby and Python (and one of the big reasons that I think python3 failed to take off) is that the Ruby community has been much better at making sure that their major third party libraries are in sync with the core language. I don't remember the exact timeline, but basically when Ruby 1.9 came out you could more or less instantly start using it with RoR so there was no reason to wait with experimenting with it.

When python 3.0 was released both django and numpy where still years away from getting official python 3 support into their releases so no one bothered to invest too much time into it, and this caused a major loss of momentum that is only today starting to slowly return.

Security experts have shown dangers in current medical devices like pace makes, where they literally could have killed a patient wirelessly because many of these devices have no security at all.
> currently exceeding previous records by over a full range.

What is a full range? does that have a number, is it a million kg per year? 5 million? And how does that compare to the actual atmosphere composition given that the atmosphere forms a 300 mile thick radius around the entire planet. Is the amount of greenhouse gases released by humans enough to make a dent in something large enough to form a 300 mile thick layer around the planet? Lets face it - you and climate science doesn't have the answers to these questions and until it does it will remain a hypothesis.

I was under the impression they were stuck there due to kids and the fact that moving to the city with minimal education =/= does not lead to much more positive career tracks. A dead end job in the city is a dead end job with highEr in rent, color, taxes, etc.

Fine for the single person who is young but not the older guy with kids. Same with college....hence the rise in online schools or scummy for profits.
I'd probably add "duplicitous" to "ignorant". Of course, there's also a tenable argument that absence of an ideological framework is an improvement on the ideological framework of some of the alternative candidates that could plausibly have won the election if he hadn't announced his candidacy.
But it says something about a president when the nicest thing you can say about most of their stated intentions is that they're a mountebank without the integrity or ability to actually follow through.
If they're not just in it for short-term speculation, then they can rent the house out and hire someone to manage it. Make some more profit while contributing to the Vancouver economy and rental market.

That isn't cross-platform in the senses I care about. I'm sure libmill is great and I wish it the best.
" And a single infringer should never be liable for more than the assessed value."

This is the case already.

And no - there is no reason to tax IP at 1% of it's valuation.

Remember that patents eventually run out, in which case they are 'taxed at 100%'. :)
Because organizations with specific needs and significant resources often benefit from writing their own framework to exactly fit their use case. Consider Facebook, to a first approximation, there is only one framework. Google is in a similar position, though there may be more than one framework, there are not many frameworks.

For organizations without significant resources, JavaScript frameworks can be a bit like wearing someone else's underwear. Technically it works, but you're probably looking for a better alternative.
But what if those people smarter than you don't share your vision? What if they want to pivot to some other market?
What we are debating at this point is style. I offered something which I think is cleaner than what I see in other languages.

You don't see the point, and that's fine. Initially when Java came out with Streams I hadn't worked a lot with ETL like functions. Then while with Rust I really got it, so now I want to apply that practice to code in Java, because it simplifies many areas of code. One thing that became very clear, is that Exception handling throws a minor monkey wrench into keeping the code simple. This is why I picked the example I showed.

You don't think it's cleaner, or makes a big difference, and that's fine. I personally find it to be easier to read and create more understandable code. You can have your exceptions, but after Rust I am totally sold on the Result for errors pardigm.
So Facebook (& Thiel) is to Trump what Pollyhop is to Conway on House of Cards.
(Transferring ~/.docker wasn't an option as I already had a set of my own hosts on my computer, and manually editing undocumented configuration files is harder than it sounds — for some reason I forgot, I couldn't partially transfer some hosts but not the other. This is after I have spent 2 days in even deciphering what has happened, as error messages are uninformative and Docker CLI just hangs in an endless loop in such situation).

Nothing of it is documented, of course.
There are quite a few backwards incompatible extensions for Perl 5. But you must declare what new features to use.

> People want "someone who'll stir the pot".

I think Europe is stirring the pot right now. Zero border control. Horrific terrorist attacks. Its genuinely scary.

Its more a question of how can it get worse?
Almost at the end of the article, Wolfram has:

"What Is Your Purpose on Earth?

If aliens show up on Earth, one of the obvious big questions is: why are you here? What is your purpose? It’s something the characters in Arrival talk about a lot. And when Christopher and I were visiting the set we were asked to make a list of possible answers, that could be put on a whiteboard or a clipboard. Here’s what we came up with:"

the checklist:

https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*Z0GZ8w2y9daVvZq65Y...

"As I mentioned before, the whole notion of purpose is something that’s very tied into cultural and other context. And it’s interesting to think about what purposes one would have put on this list at different times in human history. It’s also interesting to imagine what purposes humans — or AIs — might give for doing things in the future. Perhaps I’m too pessimistic but I rather expect that for future humans, AIs, and aliens, the answer will very often be something out there in the computational universe of possibilities — that we today aren’t even close to having words or concepts for."

Seems like the intention is for Wolfram to be anticipating what we should be asking the aliens to tell us, about what they are doing on Earth to begin with.

Conversely, it can also be read as the aliens asking us what we are doing on Earth to begin with.

Good checklist. Might be a worthwhile idea not to wait for any aliens, and just fill out the checklist ourselves. Probably less fictional to focus on what humans think their own Purpose on Earth is all about. Start with yourself. Especially if Earth is your home planet.
It's a little weird in syntax but definitely an improvement in the side-by-side examples. Thanks for telling me about it.

To be honest I haven't found a bigger cognitive dissonance than the love animals / eat animals one.
>>But ultimately, it's worth remembering that it's hard to build a good system with bad raw materials. If people are interested in falsehoods and echo chambers, their social media will reflect that.

I wouldn't phrase it quite so negatively, but I think you're on to something here. If people don't enjoy going on Facebook, they won't go on Facebook. What do people enjoy going to Facebook for? Interacting with their Facebook friends, whom they likely friended in at least some part due to their shared beliefs.

"Fixing" Facebook in this regard means forcing people to interact more with entities outside their self-selected social group, when the whole reason they got on Facebook in the first place is to interact with their self-selected social group! Facebook would be foolish to fix this problem, it would drive their users away.
To the downvoters who seem to think I used that word in jest:

> A vampire is a being from folklore who subsists by feeding on the life essence (generally in the form of blood) of the living.

The desire to extend your life at the expense of other people is incredibly disturbing to me and I'm not sure how it's a defensible position.
You should click through and actually read them.

So take #2 as an example:

The open borders thing is pretty much slam dunk evidence that she wanted the TPP.

Trump alluded to this in his last advert about "elites".

Did she try to deny this? No, not really. She only came out against the TPP (weakly) after Sanders campaign hammered her on it and once the email was out in the open she lost all credibility on that.

This was a particularly important issue to the rust belt, where she lost heavily.

Even if you aren't, she was likely aware of all of this which is why she tried to conceal the paid speech where she said it.
Yes, we already have a clean fusion reactor with wireless power transfer to every location on earth (weaker signal at poles). All we need to invent is the wireless energy receiver!
Still, I'm fairly risk averse. I'll wait for the inevitable explosion of Erlang/etc shops to take off before I jump on board.
We should try to convince them why we believe they are wrong, rather than just condemning them and pointing out how they are lesser people for not agreeing with us.
Anger has been shown to drive engagement stronger than reasoned opinion, or even good news. (I recall seeing research on this, but don't have it at hand.) So getting people riled up can unfortunately be profitable. This is similar to clickbait, sensationalist journalism when you have ad-supported news in comparison to subscription-supported. Ryan Holiday's Trust Me I'm Lying includes a very insightful section on this topic. I think it's less what people want than what they react to. O fabled homo economicus.
