> Trump said terrible things and people voted for him because he said those terrible things.

I understand your frustration (I'm right there with you. I felt like a family member died after the election), but I think the statement I quoted is an exaggeration.

Trump had a few groups of people that helped him win the election. I'd break them into these groups:

* Traditional republican voters who didn't like much of what Trump said, but worried about liberal Supreme Court justices.

* White supremacists. Most Trump supporters weren't white supremacists, but most white supremacists were Trump supporters.

* People who feel that Washington is deeply corrupt and want to see the existing system torn down. Trump has pledged to introduce term limits for congress people, along with banning certain government employees from becoming lobbyists for a period of time.

* Working class people who liked Trump's trade policies. He's pledged to renegotiate certain trade deals in an attempt to lessen our trade deficit. That would make it less appealing to outsource jobs, which union workers found appealing.

I voted for Hillary, but I admit that I like his anti-corruption and trade deficit policies. Unfortunately I'm horrified by his policies on muslims, undocumented immigrants, etc.

Quite simply, people who think like you and me lost on Tuesday. We lost badly. We need to take some time to figure out where to go from here, because if we run the next election like this one, we will probably lose again.

We spent a lot of time being upset about the white supremacists who backed Trump. We didn't spend enough time addressing the concerns of union workers, anti-corruption advocates, and republicans who didn't like Trump. It probably cost us the election.

It's overall a very good opinion piece, but this little ditty didn't escape my notice:

> We diagnose them as racists in the way Dark Age clerics confused medical problems with demonic possession.

"Medical problems"? I don't know much about these things, but isn't this what some would call a "microagression"?

Eh, I'm going to give the guy a pass. At least he's trying.
It should create a coredump on crash by default (either in the current directory or in a OS specific system directory, try /var/cores for example). If it doesn't, try 'ulimit -c unlimited' in your shell to enable coredumps for that session.

Valgrind is not really useful for debugging crashes. Running under gdb would work though.

Each test case increases confidence in the system by small amount. Confidence never can approach 100% (because we need to predict future to achieve that), so no amount of testing can give you 100% confidence, only 80%, 95% (2x price), 98% (4x), 99,5% (8x), 99,95% (16x), 99,995% (32x), and so on. It's your message, right?
If you went with Backbone.js (or similar) you would have been better off than the standard bag of jQuery methods. Curious what you ended up going with back then?

Most projects I start these days tend to use React. I've looked into Vue, and liked what I saw. I also maintain a 5 year old project built with Backbone.js (by someone else) and I'd say it checks all the boxes for maintainability, stability, and testability. It has its flaws -- as any old codebase will -- but I'm happy they went with Backbone. I'd probably be saying the same thing for the other frameworks mentioned.

Its easy to point out all the flaws from our past. Much more difficult to predict how thing will be in the future. Making a choice now, even the wrong one, is almost always better than clinging to things that are known to not work.

According to the article, there is more to it than just hating sucial justice warriors. The fact that rural infrastructure is crumbling, jobs are lost and not returning and the fact that during 8 years with a democrat at the helm didn't change much for them. It is enough for a lot of people to seriously consider the alternative, especially if the (untrusted) establishment hates this alternative.
I wish this had RSS.
Unfortunately, unfiltered also means more "undistilled".

The flipside of removal of filters of news on social media, is that we get a lot more low quality news based on unchecked facts. It is bad enough that the established media posts "breaking news" as fast as possible without taking the time to thoroughly consider the facts or give us a complete and rounded story.

Everything is becoming "headline news". We get more and more during the day, and we don't have the same time to digest what we get, so we just look at the headlines, skip the reports we don't like, and skim the few that look interesting -- The echo chamber.

We still need high quality sources that are trustworthy and able to filter out some of the "noise", simplify the stories to something we can digest without loosing details, and we also need to be exposed to news we don't like.

News on social media is sensationlist and usually none of those things.

In a world of more noise, more echo, fewer facts, and less details, we decide more based on gut feelings.

I think some of Trump's result could be attributed to the fact that, he spoke more to the heart of people than Hillary did.

E.g. the coal miners who voted for Trump because he promised them their jobs back. At least I think, it will difficult to return coal to its former "glory" with the current energy landscape (e.g. cheap and plenty oil as well as cheaper alternatives), so I am doubtful that will happen.

The whole idea of making America great again, returning jobs, and repealing trade agreements and Obama Care, speaks primarily to the heart of the people. We all love the good old times -- Especially, when we feel down and out of luck and life is difficult.
Why on earth do you think voting for Trump is not voting for identity politics? It is just the identity of a different (whiter) set of people. That is a big reason Trump didn't win among colored people in any state.

Bernie Sanders sent this message clearly, and he had enough financial support from the middle and working class to outspend Clinton in the primary. So it's possible.
System security should be built-in, not bolted on by snake oil vendors looking to make a buck. Nothing against kaspersky, I like them, but I'm with Microsoft on this. Games, browsers and other add-ons are higher-layer applications where competition makes sense.

If MS really wanted to make system security an even playing field where vendors could actually be effective, they'd make it modular (like Linux's LSM) so that admins could easily swap out security solutions without busting the system (slow, bloated, ineffective, etc.).

Vendors are a large part of the problem. They want more money, more often and in many cases really harm performance and do little to protect the system.
This is a public figure so there should be free reign.

"lock that bitch up" - Her gender is irrelevant to her corruption so it does not make sense for it to be here.

People are not chanting "lock that bitch up". They are chanting "lock her up".

"crooked Hillary" - She has been under active investigation for almost the entire campaign, and the Clintons have been their entire careers.

I don't see any problem with this. As long the same standard applies to both candidates.
> that "phrase I don't like" is a racial slur

What? No, it's not. It's an intra-group epithet describing someone who is perceived to be selling out his people to an oppressor in exchange for individual privilege. It originated among black people, but the concept isn't exclusive to any one race or group of people, and "sellout" just doesn't carry the same weight of contempt.

I don't mention from whom I learned the phrase to excuse my use of it, which I see no need to excuse in any case, but rather as a less direct way of pointing out that I think you're in error to assume racism here. That you misgather the phrase to be a slur would seem to bear that out.
> Just like Trump is (hopefully?) going to be a much more reasonable president than his campaign antics would lead you to believe

Hmm. I'm not sure what you mean by reasonable here. I have to admit I'm rather worried that Trump is actually an outsider / non-politician, and that this will result in some rather awful power struggles for the foreseeable future as the government undergoes the bureaucratic equivalent of (hopefully) chemotherapy, or (more pessimistically) leprosy. "Reasonable" to me basically means an exceedingly boring and predictable government.

> Did you also realize back then what the consequences in face of an adverse outcome would be?

Not in detail but in character, yes. I did what I could to calm and reason with the mob. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12734428 for example.

My basic position was and is that shunning, as a tactic, is net negative. Or at least is net negative when done to sophisticated opponents. If the person's wrong, kicking them out will just cause them to continue being wrong only this time with different people and without you around to correct them. If the person's right, kicking them out will just keep you wrong only this time without anyone to help you find the truth.

> And unfortunately it doesn't make a lick of difference.

hah, agree. If commenting on HN isn't its own reward, it's a waste of time :p

I think against Elizabeth Warren for example the anti-women sentiment would of had a greater effect on the outcome. Hillary Clinton's comments about Monica Lewinsky while first lady and her defence of Bill's actions makes this a bit of a pot kettle black situation. Somebody like Bernie can take the moral high ground on sexism and racism in a way that Hillary's record prevents her from doing so.

> Orchestration across multiple physical server gets even more nasty where you’d have to use something like Swarm. We’ve since realised that swarm is one of the lesser preferred options for orchestrating clusters.

Could you elaborate on this? Did you settle on an orchestrator, and if so, which one?
You don't need web apps would be nice as well :)
> I think the statement I quoted is an exaggeration.

But none of your points explain why. Trump said terrible things, that he would commit war crimes, restrict the first amendment, he won't respect the election if he loses. He's praised dictators, denied climate change, committed charity fraud, stiffed 800+ small businesses, walks in on underage girls changing and brags about it. He lies about something one day and deflects attention away to blame someone else when called out on it.

It's fascinating that he gets a pass on saying and doing these things. "It's an exaggeration." Personally, I think it's because he was a reality TV star. We expect celebrities to say and do ridiculous things, and then roll our eyes at it.

Except he's president now, and he isn't acting.
Pretty sane compared to some of the posts here.

It seems like people are completely ignoring that all age groups are involved. It's very easy to say make America great again and capture: the 80 year old that has had there retirement plan disappear from a company going to rust, to capture the 50 year old that wants to help their children through college (but instead needs help themselves), it's pretty easy to capture the people who watch a plant/factory finally get off shored (after its third try of doing so, this time with the only apparent difference of NAFTA).

It's also pretty easy to see the opposite candidate 'playing dirty' against the person who would have been a great help to their child, having secret meetings with the 'type of people'(financial) that helped create a region called the rust belt (that's bigger than all but a handful of countries), and it's pretty easy to see a candidate so unversed with dealing with people unlike her that she can't even properly shame them (while I imagine most people can't shame Trump, better is expected of a candidate. The last one isn't my words).

Likewise grew up in Wisconsin (now in VA), even voted against the nightmare that is Trump. But a lot of people here are lacking perspectives on other parts of the country. they are a lot more similar to their rainbow workforce (perspective, daily problems, expectations, fortune, humor) than they think they are, even if they do differ culturally.
Thanks you, I got the idea.

That's also the biggest issue that's still not clear in the confused heads of too much US citizens, and where the real action is needed.

Misinformation paid by the oil companies sadly worked. The good proof than even the side that sees other manipulations isn't immune at all.

As one thinker said: "when you look at somebody and hold your head and think how come the other side just doesn't see the facts, there's a simple answer: you're an idiot, and, by the way, the other side is too. People aren't rational. The proof: almost 50-50 opinions, even among the supposedly "smart" people, on some important subject -- how probable is that to be the reflection of the real rational state of the truthfulness of the issue in question. Effectively zero."
>Why can't you just click a button and be done

Dump 150 table database, both schema and data. Except two tables, for which you need only schema. Then compress, encrypt & email.

With CLI I can spend 10 minutes looking up documentation, shove command into shell, start it and go to lunch. If I need to something like that again, I can Ctrl-R it, tune and launch again in couple minutes.

But maybe there is a button I can just click?
I expect fake and misleading anti-Trump stories saw similar numbers; I've certainly been seeing quite a lot them shared widely on Twitter. (The photoshopped fake of Trump's parents in KKK uniforms got a cool quarter of a million retweets, for example, which is astounding for Twitter.) So it probably contributed to the polarized and hostile nature of the election, but there's no particular reason to assume it swung the results one way or the other.
We are going to have to agree to disagree. Can I ask: would you mind walking up to a group of African Americans in your town, saying that phrase in front of them, and soliciting their take? I think you'd value their feedback more than you do mine.

I think the article is very clear that this is about OUR experience of using docker. It is also stated right at the beginning that we have a business to run. If it going to take 2 years to integrate it into workflow (as it did for one of the commentors here) and hundreds of developer hours just to make it work, we have to decide whether it is viable for us. Other than that, I don't hear you refuting a single point that is made in the article.

The whole notion of "discovering" first a place where there already are people is not absurd.

You discover that this continent exist from your point of view. There were people already living there but they were totally ignorant of where they were living, in fact most of them were in Stone or bronze's age.

"they got printing first, they mastered gunpowder first"
Nobody will tell you this ever(that they got printing first). They will tell you that printing in metal last hundreds of times more than printing in porcelain or wood, and making it possible was a significant contribution that changed the world. How much typography do you see done today in porcelain? I have seen wood printing in China as an an art form, but not as something serious.

Gunpower was mastered by Europe with the invention of gunpower without fumes of course, that is absolutely true. You should try yourself a weapon done with black gunpower to see the difference. It happened in Europe because of the scientific revolution that happened only in Europe because of the Gutenberg press among other things. Not just that but dynamite, TNT...

The reality is that Asia created achievements until XV century, but they remained stagnant for 4 or 5 centuries. This is not something that I say, it is something that any Chinese will tell you.
There's some truth to that but immigrants also move to cities where people like them already live. To some degree, they also move to cities they have heard of from American TV and movies.
Trump didn't start his political career in 2010. He first considered running for president in the 1988 election.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEPs17_AkTI

This also isn't the first time he's run. He ran as a reform party candidate in 2000 when he campaigned on the issues of "fair trade, eliminating the national debt, and achieving universal healthcare" he also said he wanted Oprah to be his running mate.

You have to learn it — where? Documentation is sketchy and mostly obsolete, docker-swarm is buggy, genuine production issues are routinely closed with WONTFIX resolution.

Could you point me to good piece of documentation or success story of running Docker in production?

(I do use Docker, but it requires to learn Kubernetes or DCOS to do anything production-related. And those are separate projects).
The advantage with Fusion is that you can control what elements are exposed to the neutron flux and so control what sort of new elements or isotopes you get. For instance there's basically nothing in the air except for dust that will absorb a neutron and turn into something you have to worry about. And part of the design of a fusion reactor is to use lithium to absorb as many neutrons as possible to breed tritium to feed back into the reaction.

By contrast the byproducts of a fission reaction are set by the fuels used and include really nasty stuff like Strontium-90 and so on. But even fission plants are designed so that the radioactive byproducts are essentially all spent fuel or things contaminated by spent fuel. Neutron activation is a design consideration rather than a source of waste.

Of course the neutron flux will tend to enbrittle the metals used in it's construction which will have the effect of increasing maintenance costs.
Ask HN: Go over .Net/C#, Why?
Looking for a convincing story to choose Go over .Net for "anything". Yes Go has a great concurrency model - the present state of concurrency/async/etc is not too shabby in .Net. Yes Go has great tooling - like it or not, Visual Studio is pretty damn good, and with the right setup you can be very efficient.

I've built some decent CLI tools in Go, but I can do the same in .Net, perhaps not deployed in a single binary (unless you go the route of ILMerge), but still. Roughly equivalent and I can use F# if I want a more functional experience.

I'm asking this sincerely as someone who is trying to convince himself that there is value investing valuable time in Go in the future. I'm always learning new languages and there is major value in just the learning aspect alone. That said, given the current and planned future state with .Net (Core, cross platform, etc), why would you pick Go over .Net?
Kudos to Mike. I'm glad to see Sidekiq Pro/Enterprise are this successful.

My favorite things about Sidekiq (and how Mike runs it) are:

1) The documentation and wiki pages of Sidekiq. [0]

2) The weekly happy hour chats. [1]

The docs and getting started guides are some of best I've seen in OSS -- everything is well-documented and thought through. There's a lot of good things to emulate here.

In addition to his years of conferences talks, blogging, and helpfulness through over mediums... Mike has a weekly happy hour on Fridays to answer questions. I've done it a couple times and he's been extremely helpful.

We didn't use orchestration across multiple physical machines so it was possible for us to get away with just docker-compose. Otherwise we would have had to go with swarm. Kubernetes is a way better choice than both compose and swarm but it has a even more steep learning curve.

It would be interesting to know why this seems, from Facebook's point of view, too much to ask for. Are they collecting data directly from the phone that they otherwise wouldn't be able to? Is there some other kind of integration with payment services that they're planning?

I know that I've been getting a lot of "So-and-so has invited you to Facebook Messenger." I installed Messenger the other day on my iPhone.
