No, no one is going anywhere. If these people want to make a difference, by moving, they would vote and move to a state/district where their vote would make a difference. Moving to Canada, while attractive at a glance, has it's downside too. Many of the same political issues found here are found there too. Human nature does not change because you change countries and human nature is what causes the problems. Your best bet is to do your best to change what you don't like for you now and for others in the future. The beauty of the US is that the US constitution offers individuals some of the best tools to change what you don't like without bloodshed. Why would anyone give that up?
If you're doing that all over the place, you're doing it wrong. I've never seen Go code that looks like that in real projects.
It's not all disaster. There are people ripping out old, small dams (with minimal hydroelectric value) in the US and fish are returning! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dam_removal
And the same for Hacker News?
Not cross platform last I checked.
If you want to know why Trump got elected, it's because most people don't have a basic clue as to how the foundations of this country actually works. Seriously, go ask 100 random people what the national debt is, and I doubt you'll get more than 1 or 2 who have any sort of clue.
I missed the point (as others have said) that a Trie will take less memory as it stores common prefixes only once.

As for early mismatch detection, the statistics of that elude me at the moment. Certainly, early detection decreases as you get more words. However, as you get more words, you probably get longer words (lest you run out of space) so that makes early detection more valuable.
Sure. I was pretty clear that this is my anecdote.
No one is getting sent to concentration camps. People who are here illegally, especially criminals, are just being sent back to their home country.

Remember, it's the United States of America, not the United States of Earth. We shouldn't have to be responsible for citizens of other countries. It's time for other countries to start taking care of their own citizens too. Why should we have to take care of citizens of all those other countries? Maybe it's time they get their own Trump, so they can Make Their Countries Great Again too.

And it's not like they can't come back. They can come back, but they have to do it legally, through the Legal Immigration Process, like everyone else.

There are millions of legal immigrants waiting in line to get into the United States. Why should illegal be able to cut straight to the front of the line? That is not fair to the legal immigrants who have been waiting in line for months or years.

Not only that, what Trump is doing is nothing new. Did you know that Obama deported more than 2.5 million illegal immigrants?

And George Bush deported 2 million illegal immigrants.

Trump is just continuing what Obama have been doing.

Of course, it would be great if the United States have enough money to take care of everybody in the world, but... we have to be realistic.

Very few Go supporters would say that generics are unnecessary, especially not the development team. But they are not required at any price and so far no good solution for implementing them has been found. So they are delayed until that day.

While I miss them certainly, I strongly prefer them being absent to a bad and complex/confusing implementation.
I don't see how that's a relevant point if you're going to do a fresh install anyways, unless you think lenovo is going to use something like vpro to spy on you without the OS.
> but the illegality isn't wrong

Well of course it's illegal, that's why they got arrested. It doesn't mean that the legality has any grounds in reason.
In some sense, yes. But in another sense, not everyone agrees that exceptions are a good idea, and so would prefer this even if we did.
Or Facebook can take their thumbs off the scale on what is supposed to be friends sharing information. Do you realize how Orwellian it is for a big company to say friends Bobby and Sally have to be monitored in what they share? How does this not bother people?

I don't care if Bobby and Sally believe that we never made it to the moon and wear tin foil hats. It is _none of FB's damn business_. They are a _platform_ not the editors of all things true. They should not issue us all with truth detectors.
Meanwhile I just put Arch back on my Chromebook Pixel and I couldn't be happier. Far better screen, far better font rendering, and no absurdities regarding keyboard shortcuts and keys whenever plugging in an external keyboard. I can use my mouse with normal scroll while having my trackpad inverted. I have a real window manager again with "Always On Top". And I have real per-app volume mixing again. Oh, and an escape key!

I literally had money set aside to buy a new MBP, but I don't see myself being an Apple customer again anytime soon.

edit: I just don't get this place sometimes. Did I piss off some Apple fans?
I have worked a few weekends in a row for a few hours. I opted to not work one weekend and my PM went to my manager to raise concern about getting deliverables out in time for a client.
Oh, I never said that bacteria won't go extinct. Many will. I implied that from the decreased biodiversity part, but I should've made it more clear. Thing is, that because of their population sizes, there will always be outliers in terms of enzymatic activity. Mind, there are certainly limits. Species that survive such an event will be significantly different from their predecessors in the properties of their pathways. Nevertheless, seeing as many phytoplankta have life spans of several days, and that they inhabit large portions of the oceans, the removal of one 'species' of plankton from a region will likely open up the niche for another to inhabit. Life happens to contain enough competition to allow for life past mass extinctions. Different life, sure, but these self-replicating patterns are difficult to cull.
Also see https://github.com/go-reform/reform for a stable implementation of a similar idea.
It's also on us to resist the temptation to build social media bubbles around ourselves, and to poke into each other's bubbles. Every time I've wanted to block a friend or relative on facebook, I've put my phone down and come back to it later. Looking away from people we disagree with isn't working.

My cousin shared a post this morning asking why people on the left aren't celebrating the fact that a female campaign manager helped put someone in the white house for the first time. I wasn't sure what to say as his friends piled on to say things like "Yeah, I thought they were for women's rights?!" Here's the response I finally came up with:

I'm not celebrating her "success" because I imagine my facebook and twitter feeds look a lot different than yours. My feeds are filled with first-hand stories from women around the country who are being more openly harassed than they were last week. It's happening often enough that's it's really dismissive to say "Oh those are just a few assholes." People are openly harassing women in the name of Trump.

I think when we act as consumers of social media we need to stop building our own bubbles, and reach out into other's bubbles. And when we help build social networks, we need to intentionally structure them in a way that maintains connections, rather than isolating individuals and groups.
Leibniz, Llull, and the Computational Imagination
This article is pretty much an excellent synopsis of an old man who doesn't understand anything about technology who thinks "Hey, they have all this money and smart people, how hard could this thing I want be?"

As it turns out, accurately fact checking articles for truthfulness is very very hard. Of course, he glosses over the technical details and talk about how Facebook "has" to do this.
Just for the record, we already have a climate change denier as the chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works: James Inhofe.

> an exchange of energy "packets" (quanta) between electrons and photons

I thought that photons are the energy quanta (that electrons can absorb or lose).
How are you finding bolt? I was looking into it for a personal project and the requirements that composer introduced for auto installing addons made life complicated.

Though I guess that is really a composer issue, the inability to not use something like curl when allow_url_fopen wasn't available seems insane to me. allow_url_fopen is not a great thing to have enabled in production.
What measures would be better (according to the effectiveness/cost ratio) to stop or at least reduce illegal immigration?

Edit: someone suggested we should instead find and punish those who employ illegal immigrants. I think that's a good idea (but they deleted their comment).
I'm curious as to what supports the idea that deserts will re-green and agricultural output will increase? I am not at all an expert in the field, but I've always heard desertification and disappearing arable land as chief concerns of global warming, so I'd like to learn more.
I run my Linux on a VM where I spend most of my time, so I have no first hand experience, but a friend of mine just bought a new MBP, installed Arch on it and blogged about it: http://www.nico.schottelius.org/blog/linux-on-macbook-pro-20...
We're only talking about the extremes. We're talking about spurious pressure from alt-right media.
> Guess what; if you give race as a parameter to any half-decent algorithms trained on that data, the algorithm will learn that the written data contains those biases.

You know what? Even if you do not give race as a parameter; an algorithm could be biased. It can easily learn race from secondary or tertiary parameters.
There are other methods to prevent such occurrences: furnaces have "flame out of bounds" sensors and/or chimney flow sensors: this is very good at preventing the furnace from starting a fire of its own.

If there's already a fire present, whether furnace decides to stop operating or not is usually irrelevant (you can get a gas leak from a damaged furnace even if it's off). I do not see why _remote_ control should be able to prevent a fire from starting: whatever is remotely controlling this furnace doesn't have more data than the furnace itself.
You're funding spyware, even if it's not on your own computer.
we mean it doesn't need a parser in the traditional sense of a LR or LL grammar (or more complicated) with generated table or even a hand-rolled parser with lookahead.

Sure, it needs a "parser" in the sense of a FSA + a stack.

No, it won't

In which part of the Universe is more acceptable to believe that matter can travel faster than light?
QM dogma, from Einstein's photoelectric effect explanation, to today, has been that it is instantaneous. Apparently that explanation is now being discarded, without so much as an apology for ~100 years of misinformation, as far as I can tell.
From my own experience and that of friends/family, when you really dig deeply you'll find that there is actually a reason for depression most of the time. The question to ask is: is this really what I want to be doing with my life right now? You may be making great money as a stockbroker on Wall Street with a great family, or earning $200k at google, but if that's not really what you want to do deep down, you may get depressed.

>I've had very large problems, and maintained mental health throughout.

There are a lot of factors that determine whether life shit causes depression.

>But that hardly means things like bacteria aren't a factor as well.

Agreed, but there isn't much evidence of that at the moment.
There's a 17 month old bounty to add support for the 2015 MacBook: https://www.bountysource.com/issues/35422234-macbook8-1-12-i.... The 2012 Retina MBP also didn't work correctly at first but that was fixed quickly. The only models that were compatible out of the box were the ones which didn't change much.
Not all topics warrant certainty, but given the power of news outlets forming opinion and thereby influencing the population's behavior, I do think certain topics demand responsible reporting which doesn't report anything at all if uncertain. It's the same as a good police detective not disclosing speculations to the media because they pursue many leads but only conclude one, and you don't want a mob go lynch people. The same logic applies to news outlets forming people's opinions. That's why I think there's a need for, admittedly few, certain-report-only news agencies. That way, if you read posts on TheSun or E!Online, you get accustomed to not taking it seriously, forming doubt that this is most likely speculation. Once something gets confirmed unquestionably, it can migrate to one of the few vetted-only news outlets, if that's something they cover.

That said, our weather models are pretty good but not good enough to make certain predictions that far away into the future, but they can for the next few hours.

It's like a software company's model of code branches. The Apple/Google/whatever filesystem team works on something, it gets pushed into their level of production branch, then it percolates up to the shared production kernel branch, and after a couple more layers it hits the common branch, which is what public production binaries are made from and consists of kernel, userland, foobar modules all merged together. Not all software shops operate this way, but it's what size of a project can demand after it hits certain amount. The linux kernel works this way too, to name a successful non-commercial project. You can argue this doesn't prevent regressions, and that's true, but it's hard to deny there would be more regressions (aka false reporting) with unfiltered (aka unvetted) reporting.
I have a simulation of a quantum jump as well, maybe I should polish it up and get it published in Nature also.
Lenovo's malware scandal should certainly give you pause, but do note that it was only installed on its consumer laptops. Thinkpads were unaffected.

Moreover, Apple is far from the cleanly ethical choice you seem to think it is. It blocks or impedes the installation of software that it has unilaterally decided is against its interests + takes a ludicrous percentage of revenue via the App Store.

This is inaccurate. While Result is a monad, `?` in Rust is not the monadic bind. That's the `and_then` method.
The problem with this is it's begging the question: it postulates that the status quo she would preserve is at least bearable for everyone. For a lot of people in the US that is simply not the case. Trump actually broke an American political taboo and correctly and vocally identified one factor that is causing these people's miseries: neoliberal globalisation. This is the key factor in his success, he made an issue of a thing that must not be questioned if the ruling class is to peacefully remain ruling (this, not his bigotry and whatnot, is the reason he was so unanimously opposed by the elite — where are all these people when minorities are being literally killed and savagely harassed by the state right now?). Democrats arrogantly refused to acknowledge this problem, and even made sure it was swept under the rug (the case with Sanders). The people recognized this, and now you have the result. Those who accepted that voting is the way to change things and who were persuaded that a third party vote was a waste (both points a cornerstone of mainstream American political ideology) had no other choice but to vote for Trump. The more realistic ones (in my opinion) simply refused to take part in the charade and didn't vote at all thereby refusing to give the corrupt system legitimacy. That Trump has the wrong answers to correct problems is somewhat beside the point when he's the only one left to even acknowledge the problems if you a) have the problem, b) believe one should vote, and c) vote for one of the two major tickets.

For a lot of innocent people outside the US, ironically for a lot of Muslims, HRC's status quo was literally lethal. As someone outside the US, who finds Trump's views unacceptable, and is in Europe, and in no direct danger of US induced violence, I can tell you this: he was not the candidate who enjoyed practically unanimous support of the US industry of death (the so called defense industry), and the whole state military and political neocon apparatus, all the while announcing to try real hard to get in an open confrontation with the other nuclear superpower. In that regard, I am somewhat relieved, and despite what the media might be telling you, a lot of other people are.
You're still assuming that the federal government has the authority to dictate the voting process used for federal elections. IANAL and I don't actually know what the legality here is, but my assumption is the federal government doesn't have that authority, given that if it did, it probably would have exercised it by now.
Dual booting maybe?

Though I do agree that there are better laptops for cheaper.
Clearly the definition here is success at work. Working long hours is unlikely to improve anyone's home situation unless they're impoverished and earning hourly wages or have a home environment so horrible that being at work is preferable.

Although without sufficient oxygen production globally, new coastal property would be of limited value! Would be interesting to see peer reviews of the study to get a sense of how problematic this might be. I guess worst case we could all get oxygen tanks to carry around, but it'd be a bit of a shame . . .
>Not sure what you're trying to say here.

My apologies. People who are not politically active (eg: casual Facebook browsers) will never, ever come across the term "SJW". They may have seen it a few times. If they're college-aged maybe they have a friend in college who describes themselves as a "SJW" in a positive light. 1-2 interactions with SJW's using "SJW" as a positive term is enough for them to see the term in a positive/neutral way, as opposed to the way heavy internet users who scour Twitter for hours a day and are active in the #Gamergate hashtag will see the term "SJW".

If you browse Github, HackerNews, /r/TumblrInAction, or Twitter frequently then your chances of running into the term "SJW" increases as does your chances of seeing it used in mostly a negative way.

To then assume that everyone "knows" the term is a negative one when it's sphere of influence is a few small niches of the internet is being dishonest. Especially when that person denies said accusation.

>My political engagement has been entirely contrary to the war-profiteering, plundering, pro-corporate elites that run the world, but by all means you keep going after those evil college kids and feminists!

Why not both? Dangerous elites are only as dangerous as the public allows them to be. How many singular elites can kill thousands or millions of people without people to do the killing for them?

History has a historically thin line between "these people are bad" and "these people are bad and we should round them up and kill them". When people actively use the rhetoric of the latter, I listen and grow concerned...
Haha, yeah I absolutely understand that.
I get your sentiment for the new model. I still run a 15" MBP from mid 13 and couldn't be happier with running Debian on it. Friends had multiple new machines (also Lenovo) in the same time. Some of them actually broke down. All of them have a very dim screen, speakers that I cannot hear and microphones that cannot record. And then there's the touch pad, ... The list goes on.

I'm no Apple fan boy, but those Lenovos are not IBM Thinkpads anymore.

No, my point is that 99.999% uptime has to be scoped to the same timeline as your window that you're measuring. If you're focusing on availability for a single day, then achieving 99.999% availability for that day means less than a second of downtime.
I'm not enthused about the touchbar and price increase, but I'll reluctantly buy one anyway because macos is still the best OS available, and the touchpad and gestures actually work. I could give two shits about thinness, dongles, and slick-looking aluminum bodies. If Windows ever gets good gesture support, working virtual screens, non-wonky hiDpi support, and a comparable trackpad, I'll switch immediately.
I don't take your point at all. You asked "Isn't the price point for CDs the same as streaming services?", I answered that what you're buying is so different that it's difficult to define a unit price for comparison, and in this response you essentially point out how different they are, being at opposite ends of two spectra. So all I can say is, yes, that's why it doesn't make sense to say they are the same price (from the artist's standpoint, even if you don't see a difference from where you are).
Maybe people confuse Copernicus with the advocate of related theories Giordano Bruno, who was killed in 1600 for his beliefs and advocacy (though not only for his beliefs about astronomy).
