> - I find leaving your country only because you didn't vote for the winner is rather cowardly, you can still do something about it, we're not quite talking systemic harassment yet...

Leaving your entire life, job, family behind for principals is cowardly?

What rubbish. It's amazingly brave.

This is on par with calling suicide bombers cowardly.

To be quite frank cowardice is doing nothing and calling others cowards.
Sounds like we should all be shorting Western Union stock. If he actually implements these controls, they will be the hardest hit.
So, this is NOT new, it's been around for a while (see the footer of the document). Important to recognize that this may not be his actual first 100 day plan now he has actually won.

The bigger problem is that since the Democrats and media took the "Literally Hitler" approach, no policies got discussed even though they were available in plain sight. Now whether you like them or not, he's won, and people had no opportunity to understand the policy differences between the candidates.
The thing I worry about more here (amazingly) is the answer to the question "If representatives don't have enough experience to write new laws then who will write them?"
Not technically correct:

> "I am interested in roles paying above my current salary of $xxx,xxx only, and am looking for an improvement on that to reflect my increased experience and the risk of moving roles"

Are you really advocating that people disclose their salary to a recruiter, voluntarily?

What terrible advice. "How to immediately throw away your best bargaining chip 101".
That's fair. But it does seem like there's some suppression here. I always thought the "mainstream media bias" thing was just a soundbite for conservatives. But tarrifs for companies wanting to move factories overseas? Term limits for Congress people? Those are legitimate proposals that I never heard about (except in the debates).

I don't have time to look for documents on candidates websites. I rely on (and pay) the media to present information because I'm busy. This should have been reported fairly, though maybe that bias is actually true.
I've been in situations together with clients deploying a product, them presenting it for their managers, orpreparing for a big demonstration, and something goes wrong due to some unforeseen environmental factor you couldn't have imagined or predicted, and breaks in a way you don't expect, despite the weeks of testing you've done.

You've got your main client staring over your shoulder, arms crossed saying fix it, and every two minutes asking "is it fixed yet?"

You damn well better be able to code under pressure... And like a freaking ninja
Maybe if you use logic de la ghetto, but in reality this just makes people go harder all in, it would imply that he is easy to constrain by forced pressure, -EV and probably affects his EV in a second order way. ANyways adult men who are high in power don't respond well to this sort of thing.
...... please, stop.

This kind of absurd social justice rampage is exactly why people stayed quiet in public, but privately voted for Trump at the ballot box.

Don't get me wrong, some funding is neccesary like paying farmers to let their land lay fallow for a year so it may regain nitrogen & nutrients, and quotas have helped us avoid food insecurity, but the current system needs broad reform, to make a run of it as a farmer in the US today you need at least 500+ acres, which wasn't the case 50 years ago.
The bond market dwarfs the stock market, and it's just as reliable as any inter-generational promise made by the government.

Treasury rates are only effectively negative because the government is printing money to buy treasuries. That's not going to end well.
Last time I looked, you guys were developing Hopper, a contract language with a dependent type system. Why the pivot to Pact?
The problem is if West Virginia burns coal that causes air pollution and sea level rise in New York, New York can't pass a law against burning coal in West Virginia. Federal laws are needed when a state is externalizing costs and internalizing profits.
Interesting, but choosing unbiased questions will be a ballet in itself..

Edit: A ballot in itself, although a ballet in itself also works...
Something that we experimented with was pointing candidates towards one of our public repos and asking them to make a meaningful PR to be discussed at the interview. The PR would be discarded afterwards irrespective of the interview outcome.
That's just one more reason to not work at someplace as notoriously 'litigious' as Oracle.
I've been writing in Clojurescript. To be honest - every time I see a new discussion thread about something new in Javascript-land I can't stop thinking that Clojure and Clojurescript are almost always a few steps ahead of the crowd.

The US is a superpower because of our military might. A lot of the technological achievements were due to military research. If we reduce our military size to be `reasonable` we loose our status as a super power.

IANAL but I took business law 101, which taught me that courts almost universally lean strongly towards the employee when considering restraint clauses.

Moreover, if you have a current employer that is sufficiently disrespectful of their employees that they'd even consider enforcing an anti-moonlighting clause in this circumstance, with the preposterous assertion that it qualifies as employment - run away now.

The law is not a programming language.
depends where you are talking about. A tax cut for a family of four taking home 100k/year in LA or SF goes a long way.
They suspended the author, then let him back off of suspension. It was strange because he was leaving willingly in a few weeks to attend a graduate school program.
A key point of the specification for the solution is that the produced work //is not// a product. You are using the exercise as a test.

Maybe it would be better to explicitly state that the results of the work are to be released under CC-BY?
No way did this emanate from Trump himself. It contradicts several of his known, top level positions. The remarks on energy are particular howlers.
I don't see what the problem is with that? The term limits on the president are in place because he has such an inordinate amount of power. I am concerned about a president trying to seize non-democratic power. Not so for a Senator. Can you explain more about why you think reps need term limits?
> Chinese officials won't be pissed off. They understand politics.

Whether or not they are genuinely pissed off, they act offended at the bargaining table and make negotiations more difficult than they might have been. They have been known for doing that kind of thing in the past because it plays very well with the people at home.
It would sound much nicer if she had left that basket of deplorable out of the statement.
There's nothing to discuss here. A reaction along the lines of "Well, that doesn't sound so bad, but maybe he ought to think about..." means you're now playing by his rules. This is just Reagan++.
Amazine quote you should know
One of the benefits behind the electoral college is that it effectively forces candidates to visit smaller and more competitive states they would not otherwise campaign in. As different states become "swing" states, candidates go there, as they are winner-take-all.

In a popular vote, candidates would spend most of their time in large states like California, Texas, and New York.
Have you done pair programming before? Especially as you become more senior, the pressure to not look like an idiot in front of junior devs adds up fast. You have to learn, quickly, how to get over that kind of inner monologue, and just get to work.

That kind of scenario happens to me daily.
You're still misunderstanding. All illegal immigrants who cross the border and get caught in the process get deported. That's how it is now. Trump's jail time proposal isn't specifically for those with criminal records who he wants to deport, though they would be included as well, it would also apply to anyone who enters, gets caught, gets sent back, reenters a second time, and gets caught again.

To be clear, I'm not saying it's not useful! No need to convince me of that. :)

What I'm saying is that even useful features come with both benefits and drawbacks. For example, I think user-defined typeclasses would add significant complexity to the language and especially to the library ecosystem.

I'm not saying "these are worthless ideas," I'm saying "these benefits wouldn't improve my life enough to justify the cost." :)

Love the idea of paying people. That's great. However, consider the perspective of someone who already has a job in the industry. If every company did this, I wouldn't be able to interview at more than one per week. Not only that, but the Friday and Monday onsites mean I miss work on TWO separate days. This would be a non-starter for me if I had any decent pool of interest from other companies, although it's great for people trying to break into the industry.

Another problem, depending on your philosophy. Specifying the exact technologies someone has to use means that you've closed yourself off to generalists, unless they have time to learn a whole new stack that weekend. Not that it's rocket science to do so, but that turns a two hour project for me in say Angular into an eight hour project in your favored stack. I can always learn your stack on the job, as any good engineer can.
Right, because as it is it seems pretty much synonymous with "things I do not like"
This document contradicts that every other sentence after that. Almost all the bills he proposes are regulations, the executive orders... regulations. He proposes to overturn about a quarter as many things as he wants made law or executive order.
The Beijing subway system is already better than NY's: more lines, better quality, clean, safe...

How do you solve energy problems? Markets. How do you fix education? Markets. How do you get food to everyone? Markets. Not a word about how those markets will be structured, which has a great impact on whether they'll actually solve those problems. Just another believer that markets alone - despite their well known systemic problems - are the answer to everything.
I assume you're referencing this one: https://wikileaks.org/dnc-emails/emailid/5508

The DNC played favorites from the beginning, and sanders supporters aren't too thrilled. Let's not forget that the DNC chief resigned over this.

You nailed it; I never take campaign promises from anybody that serious. I think Bernie had enough integrity that he would have at least tried, and then given excuses as to why not.

Bush, Bill Clinton, Obama, Trump, all the same.

You're right. A small percentage of a massive industrial complex is actually a ton of money.

There are some situations where US aircraft will fire half-million-dollar heatseeking missiles at empty sky, just in case enemies fire SAMs. That's an expensive habit.

The military doesn't constrain itself financially unless it's forced to. They care more about the mission and the warfighter, as they should. But the guys in Congress who are tasked with constraining the military are too chicken to endanger their support from active duty, veterans, and their friends and families.
Not sure why you are being downvoted. I've seen a few comments in the last couple days that support your statement. My biggest fear about this election is the intolerant people in the country would get the wrong idea that being intolerant and bigoted is acceptable. Turns out, I might been right :/
All right, I'll play devil's advocate.

What happens a couple of centuries from now, when the Eastern Seaboard is overpopulated and we have 40,000 acres of land being held in limbo by the Sweeney Foundation?

Having this land being preserved in its natural splendor for future generations to enjoy is a worthy and noble goal, but what happens when we need housing more than we need forests?

Granted, I know this is only a small portion of the land in North Carolina (62.5 sq. mi / ~53,800 sq. mi or roughly 0.12%), but if 2-3 billionaires every generation pay to keep land pristine and untouchable forever, it'll add up over the centuries.

Just something to think about.

Not really. Conversion to cash is limited to Rs.4000. Rest goes into your account. If you convert more than 2 Lakhs, that is notified to the IT authorities. You can't withdraw more than Rs.20000 per week or some such limit. Trickling down will take a long time, and even then most of it will be watched. If someone is withdrawing more cash than they ever did before, the govt., will probably question them beyond certain limits.
Thank you for catching my conversion mistake. Also the helpful description
You're getting hammered for this, but for some jobs you're absolutely right. If you can't handle being put on the spot for a simple interview question, how are you going to go when a production line is down and it's costing your client $100k/hr, and the foreman's standing looking over your shoulder wanting to know when it'll be working?

Not all jobs give you all the time in the world on a test server without interruptions.
That's definitely not true, unless in some special context.
Extracting to a helper function doesn't change the fact that there is boilerplate that must be overcome by brute force when composing "components". Every sub update function needs to be manually wired into the main update function since the introduction of Html.app. Libraries like elm-return make this a bit nicer to work with, but because of the restrictions in what Elm will let you do with it's "magic" there is no alternative.

I have had a reasoned and nuanced argument with some other guy on the topic of Islam the other day on HN. It's here FYI [1].

Once again, I am not reducing all Muslims to Islamists, so your argument fails. In fact, you are trying to reduce any criticism of Islam (the ideology/religion) as attack on Muslims worldwide. This same scare tactic is used by pseudo-liberals who wish to suppress any criticism of Islam in other public spheres too.

I am opposing the ideology of Islam and I do oppose other religious ideologies too. I am not a Christian. I have left all organized religions back long ago.

Sam Harris also is not reducing all Muslims to some thing.

You realize this same logic could seemingly dismiss any regulation (assault weapons, child labor, tax evasion), right?

"People will smuggle illegal guns from abroad. Or buy the parts and assemble them. Or get a machine shop and make them."

A regulation, no matter its aim, does not require 100% compliance to be an effective deterrent. I'm not saying this plan will work, but a generic "people will get around it" argument is not illuminating.
This sort of algorithm is also a demonstration of how useful different types of presentation can be when learning. The original paper isn't a bad source, but it's very wordy because words are all it uses. There's an animated diagram on the Wikipedia page for Dijkstra's algorithm[1] that probably is worth a thousand words, and given a brief introduction to the idea so you know what the diagram is illustrating, together with the pseudocode for the full algorithm shown later on that page, I reckon someone who understands the problem but didn't previously know this solution could understand the solution and write their own implementation in a few minutes.

Do you think Donna Brazile gave Bernie those debate questions in advance, too?
There can be clarity in simplicity, but it's not ensured. It's easily possible to simplify to the point where clarity is lost. The canonical example here is "I will replace it with something great". That's very simple, but also not clear at all. That is, while it's clear what he wants to do, it's not clear at all what he plans to do, because that information has been removed in the name of simplicity (assuming it ever existed).
Thanks for pointing that out. The two common forms of HFCS are HFCS-42 (42% fructose) and HFCS-55 (55% fructose); the latter is generally what we find in soda.

The longitudinal nutrition studies in humans necessary to tease out the differences are difficult to perform well. I think it's worthwhile to at least keep in mind that these different sugars do have different effects on the body, especially given the levels of consumption we're seeing in the US.

Well that was very, very dumb of them. Maybe we engineers ain't so smart after all.

California is actually one of the lowest (42nd). The irony is that states where people vote for small government and lower taxes tend to receive a larger share per capita of federal money.

Some thoughts on the US elections
I feel like you're making an argument against your thesis instead of for it (?). With higher risk, you expect higher return... so isn't that another tick against Trump's "success"? His ventures were way riskier than an index fund (see bankruptcies and losses), yet they had a markedly lower return. That means they were not good investments.
>First off, when did "blockchain" become an uncountable noun? "blockchains" or "blockchain technology" sounds much more natural.

Good to see we're focusing on what matters.
Most tech jobs aren't like that. If the job you're hiring for is one of the few that involves high-pressure coding in front of strangers, then by all means test for that.

1. By an extension of your logic, NYC should bulldoze Central Park and replace it with massive housing developments to meet overwhelming rental demand in Manhattan.

2. You're not going to solve overpopulation, which is the result of a growth trend, by adding a constant amount of land to the equation. If you capitulate and give up the forest, then eventually you're left with overpopulation and no forests.

3. The literal answer to your question would be to develop elsewhere in the world, or in space.
