Yes, fact check.

There are no "favorable conditions" to slavery. Slavery sought to find moral ground on the hypothesis that the master knew what was best for their slaves. Stowe repeatedly makes the point that even kind masters were prevented from freeing their slaves.

Hale supported the work of the courts until his second wife was accused of practicing witchcraft. Hah.

This is, in fact, why it's so difficult to fight these things. Interpretation has trumped over documentation, context "fades", lies are so much easier to propagate, refuting bullshit could be an actual 24/7 job. How could anybody keep up. Maybe we're doomed to having morons destroy a few tens of millions of people every 100 years.
Sideproject Launcher – Curated tools to ship your first SideProject
They're also only Node 4.3.2. It seems that they need quite a while to test new versions, or they have little man power and are constrained to keep working with what they know it worked.
Sounds nice but we don't have Kevita in our country (Hungary). Can you name some alternatives?
I bet majority of frameworks are built for a certain project/need. At least mine are (RE:DOM for example, https://www.redom.js.org).
If you trying to build your sideproject just now, you might wanna check this list out. Know other tools, feel free to post it. Sideproject is a new startup foundation.
With Vermont, it's sort of notoriously infested with hippies. I'm kind of joking there, but there's a kernel of truth to it. Out of the three rural New England states, Vermont is always the farthest left, and in places there, Bernie Sanders would be considered too much of a centrist.

I'm not sure New Hampshire really falls into anyplace reasonable on the 1D Republican-Democrat axis, except for a standard deviation one way or the other from the middle, shifting with the winds. If you add in the authoritarian/libertarian axis to make it 2D, NH is pretty far up the liberty scale. No income tax, no sales tax, extremely minimal firearms regulation, hell, you don't even have to wear a seatbelt if you don't want to. The southern parts of the state are starting to turn into commuter satellites of Boston, to some extent, but it hasn't really eroded that "Live free or die" character.
It's kind of funny because a lot of what Trump said would get you fired at most work places. Look at poor Billy Bush, he just laughed at it and egged him on and got fired.
Here's a list of objections: http://dailycaller.com/2016/06/17/fact-checking-snopes-websi...
I use Sublime from time to time and never had to pay for the packages. As far as I am aware of it Sublime has the same business model as WinRAR. Totally free with an annoying popup asking for you to get a license.
Ah. For some reason I had it in my mind that you thought that there shouldn't be public polling. That was incorrect. That's not the case, is it?

I completely agree that people should vote because they're civically minded and want to participate, and ideally make their decisions based on a well-educated understanding of the issues (and all they entail). What does this mean practically? What level of education is adequate? What are the wrong reasons? Single-issue voting? Being inspired by a leader? We're human, not perfectly (nearly?) rational, imperfect in general. What level of sophistication is necessary? I'm asking these questions of myself as much as of you.

I have similar questions when it comes to persuasion. One person's education is another's persuasion is yet another's malicious manipulation. How do we convince people to be civically minded without persuading them that it's the right thing to do? What's the distinction between appealing to people who are likely to be amenable to your position and looking for those that are persuadable? How do you educate people who are, as you put it, "dumb"?

Like I said earlier, these are questions I pose to myself as well. I'm asking here because I want to get other's opinions. Thanks again for taking the time to consider them. Discourse can be an important part of reaching understanding.

I'm slightly moving backwards. Previously I just make Python 3 scripts with 0% retrocompatibility because I thought that Python 3 was going to happen soon and it was futile to try to resist. Now that my programs and scripts are getting used more frequently at work and outside of work I'm making more Python 2-3 compatible code because often people just try to use python myscript.py (that might just call any interpreter), or they use myscript.py in an development environment that only uses Python 2.

It's a bit sad to not be able to use some things that I really love about Python 3 but it makes me happier to see other people enjoying my work, so I'm going to bear with it for now.
Sentry is also still Python 2.7, thanks to Armin and his friends:

You completely validated the comment you responded to. I suspect you did not mean to this so convincingly.
I never thought about this ... I've always wanted to smoke (the mechanics of the whole thing please(s) me on some level) but I suffer from asthma and a mild disinclination to lung cancer. Mind you, when I say "smoke", I mean the real thing, not vaping.

Don't mind me, though. I hope I outgrow this at some point.
We're a Python shop but all of our Ansible work is just YAML. Ansible is a program more than a library so it's almost irrelevant what version of Python they use. Now, of course it's highly annoying to have to bootstrap python2 on Ubuntu Xenial but that's really not relevant to what version of Python a group uses for regular development.

We use Python 3.5 and are VERY happy about it.
Your presumption is correct :).

Thank you for this insight. My GitHub has been largely left untouched as I haven't published many of my projects, I'll prioritise this. I like your recommendation on blogging too, definitely seems a good way to provide a log of what I'm getting up to.

I'm fortunate enough to have had a side-project turn into a successful business, however it's largely automated now and requires very little input, hence looking for a "proper job" upon graduating.

That said, it's been entirely working by myself, so I lack the experience of working within a larger company. Based upon some other comments here, it sounds as though I'll have a real tough time getting into remote work without some proven experience under my belt.

Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it :)
You're misstating the concern, which I assume you recognize. Nobody gives a fuck (see what I did there? :-) if Trump used a swear word. What people are concerned about was that he bragged that he was able to capitalize on his fame to assault somebody. I'm going to presume you're male - how would you feel if, say, Newt Gingrich walked up to you and grabbed your penis?

Many people swear -- heck, I just did so in a public post under my own identity just to make a point! Many people use many terms to describe male and female anatomy. Nobody I know brags about being able to willfully assault people.
Choosing not to build an ideological framework because you want to sort of wait and see what happens is different from not building one because you are too ignorant to do so. I'd agree with you that this is a positive thing if it was the former but I think it's pretty clear that it is in fact the latter.
Have you considered that when it comes to electing politicians people don't put anywhere as much weight into personal remarks a candidate makes but rather the policies he's planning or how well he represents them?

That was a comment made in private and lightly. He didn't get on a podium and said that was going to be the Government's policy. I feel that you're equating Donald Trump the private person with Donald Trump the (future) head of state.
I'm not sure where the "point and grunt" analogy came from, but I first read it from Eben Moglen. I can't remember where, but there are lots of examples floating around, e.g. at http://www.cabinetmagazine.org/issues/1/i_moglen_1.php

> In 1979, when I was working at IBM, I wrote an internal memo lambasting the Apple Lisa, which was Apple`s first attempt to adapt Xerox PARC technology, the graphical user interface, into a desktop PC. I was then working on the development of APL2, a nested array, algorithmic, symbolic language, and I was committed to the idea that what we were doing with computers was making languages that were better than natural languages for procedural thought. The idea was to do for whole ranges of human thinking what mathematics has been doing for thousands of years in the quantitative arrangement of knowledge, and to help people think in more precise and clear ways. What I saw in the Xerox PARC technology was the caveman interface, you point and you grunt. A massive winding down, regressing away from language, in order to address the technological nervousness of the user. Users wanted to be infantilized, to return to a pre-linguistic condition in the using of computers, and the Xerox PARC technology`s primary advantage was that it allowed users to address computers in a pre-linguistic way. This was to my mind a terribly socially retrograde thing to do, and I have not changed my mind about that. I lost that war in the early 1980s, went to law school, got a history PHD, did other things, because the fundamental turn in the technology - which we see represented in its most technologically degenerate form, which is Windows, the really crippled version. I mean, I use Xwindows every day on my free-software PCs; I have nothing against a windowing environment, but it`s a windowing environment which is network transparent and which is based around the fact that inside every window there`s some dialogue to have with some linguistic entity.
Trump has been bankrupt four times and relies heavily on debt to finance his real estate ventures. It's well documented that he took on hundreds of millions of debt in the form of "junk bonds" (so called because of the high risk of default and the resulting high interest rate - 14%) in order to pay for his casinos in Atlantic city, for example. He defaulted on many of those obligations, in some cases ultimately paying only pennies on the dollar. This is what Trump is talking about when he says things like "I love debt." Because of some tax loopholes for real estate investors that existed at the time (they were closed in the 90's under Clinton, actually), he was also allowed to claim the losses as his own, rather than those of his creditors - that's how he managed to claim nearly a $1 billion net operating loss in a single year.

Piecing together information from his financial disclosures (total revenue) and leaked documents (revenue net expenses), it appears at least one of his properties in NY has been modestly successful in recent years - but that property had well below $5 million in profit in 2014 and was losing money before that. We know nothing at all about his personal obligations to creditors. That lack of information, along with his refusal to release his tax returns, is what has lead to so much speculation about what may be in those returns.
I am saying what you just quoted is not always the case. To say "and they decide that based on emotions" is entirely unfounded. Plenty of people do, sure, but plenty do not.

As an aside, I should note that weighing ones' emotions in a decision is not an inherently irrational process.
Not sure why supervisor matters, it's just a program. It's the same thing as Homebrew running Ruby - totally doesn't matter what version they're using.
I can recommend Debian as well, used its grsec flavour of the Linux kernel package for a few months on my desktops successfully.

I would recommend taking a look at NixOS as well, they have it integrated and it can be as easy as adding an option to your system configuration. If you further add any customization, you will get a unique kernel build for your system, what is said to be ideal security-wise. You can read the details on their manual:

> Why do you think we would all benefit from Disney losing IP protections?

Copyright is willingly extended by the public to private interests for the purpose of fostering innovation and creativity.

The question isn't how do we benefit by Disney losing IP protections, the question is how do we benefit by maintaining what we have graciously given them? What return on investment, if you will, is the public getting for Mickey not being in the public domain?

They're afraid because their lives are in America.

Do you think the law should be changed? Should we try to perfectly enforce every law, no matter how cruel or costly it is? Should the DEA start raiding cancer patients again?

Laws are always selectively enforced, by necessity. Politicians, prosecutors, police chiefs, LEO's and others dictate how resources are allocated to enforcement.
I recognise that you are trying to engage and explain your point of view. I respect that, even though I disagree with you.

You may have grievances (legitimate or otherwise) but you have to weigh up the pros and cons.

In 1920s 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.

Also, not that I ascribe this to you, personally, but apparently 22% of Trump's supporters think he would start a Nuclear War. I'm struggling to understand what pros they think would outweigh that particular con.
Yes, the corporate press was smug, hubristic, and often hilariously wrong.

I think the best journalism came from people outside the normal news.

Here are three nontraditional journalists who did excellent work:

--

Nate Silver did the best math.

His final election prediction is like a crash course in data science. Humble, thorough, quantifies uncertainty, acknowledges that errors may correlate. Explained in plain English and illustrated in a way that would make Edward Tufte proud. He lays out three scenarios (polling average accurate, 3-point error for Clinton, 3-point error for Trump). The latter describes in detail pretty much exactly what ended up happening.

http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/final-election-update-th...

--

Chris Arnade got the best stories.

He's a former bond trader who now travels the country as a photojournalist, befriending and talking to all kinds of people, mostly working-class and poor.

Here's his best work, in my opinion: https://medium.com/@Chris_arnade/divided-by-meaning-1ab51075...

It was the first thing that really helped me understand Trump voters.

--

Finally, Michael Moore nailed it.

Months ago, he wrote an essay called Why Trump Will Win, asking his liberal audience to campaign hard and not get complacent.

http://michaelmoore.com/trumpwillwin/

It came true pretty much exactly as written.

One of his speeches was taken out of context and edited down into an unofficial grassroots Trump ad. It is the single best pitch for Trump that I have heard:

Here's my terminal mappings: https://github.com/hhsnopek/dotfiles/blob/master/.nvimrc#L93
Otherwise I use neovim-remote (https://github.com/mhinz/neovim-remote), which will soon be natively in neovim, but until then you can connect to your vim instance and either create a new buffer or replace the existing one. You perform your things and then use `:w | bp` and jump back a buffer if you created a new one.

Similarly my keybindings can be mapped just as I did in my dotfiles (first link). Probably my favorite part is being able to search my terminal instance in vim style with `/` and navigate as I would in any other file
It definitely doesn't happen in whatever recent versions of clang and gcc I tested with. I had to wrap malloc in a function that the compiler didn't have a special case for in order to make reproduce the crash.

What a magnificent deflection. No one is angry that he said "grab them by the pussy". It's that he does this without consent. He does this because he has power and can. That's what is deplorable. Your defense of this is also deplorable.

"It seems to me that passion and a lack of intelligence seem strongly correlated"

This is actually categorically false, see the book Peak by Anders Ericsson for more information on this: https://www.amazon.com/Peak-Secrets-New-Science-Expertise/dp...

people who are passionate are MUCH more intelligent and knowledgeable about issues and it's been proven.
The ticker in the video is almost surreal, dispassionately telling you about murders and nightclubs being shot up, with that in the background.
I'm not sure Ruby is ideal for exploring OO concepts, as fine a language as it is. Missing, for example, are: inheritance of class attributes/methods, constraints on overriding methods (e.g. declaring as abstract or un-overridable/final), dynamic attributes.

Thankfully it's a very flexible and forgiving language, so there are third-party libraries (e.g. Hashie, ActiveSupport's Concern) to accomplish these kinds of things, but the core language doesn't offer them.
Yep. It's way more important than, say, how to write and maintain a large code base in Elixir. Politics can easily crowd out that kind of thing from the front page. I don't know what to say. I can't think about much else, but sooner or later, maybe things will return to some semblance of normalcy, and I do like the tech/startup discussions here.

I suppose the upgrade from 15.10 perhaps left the default as-is?

Yes. If you do a clean install of 16.04 then you won't python2 installed at all.
It's no more of a "technicality" than the fact that some people happened to be born within the somewhat arbitrary borders of a particular nation, through no effort of their own, and thus happen to be considered citizens of that nation.
> (1) investigation is not the same as conviction, and

No.

> (2) that repeating the phrase "crooked Hillary" ceaselessly is a marketing tactic

Yes.

> designed to encourage a belief that Clinton is a criminal

No, it brings to light the fact that she was under investigation and has many shady dealings in the past. It is to raise doubt. To be a criminal she must be convicted.

> in order to undermine her legitimacy as a candidate?

Partly. I think more so to raise doubts about what she would be like in power.
> The racism and sexism are sort of victims of their own overuse.

Or possibly there's just a lot of it around.
I don't think we can assume that just because somebody accepts a job working for the President necessarily means they necessarily condone the tone of his campaign or ever judged him to be a good choice for president. They can of course be judged on how they influence and shape policy proposals, and their participation in the process might well be much better or much worse than a principled boycott.

Peter Thiel is not somebody who has simply refused to rule himself out of serving, however. I do think we can judge people for donating large sums of money to the Trump election campaign and subsequently being appointed to a position of power, both because they signalled strong approval of Trump and his campaign with their wallet and because (like major donors appointed to high office in other administrations) they can readily be accused of paying for positions of power.
Before upstream CPython had any defined policy on the python symlink.
That was a great outsourcing article, except showing one picture of Manila slums and calling the country poor.

Here is my suggestion -- don't use outsourcing agencies (acknowledging, easier said than done.) With an agency you end up with invisible HR problems. When something weird is going on at the office, you won't know about it. If senior developers are slacking off and giving junior devs all the work, you will not know. Hire the developers directly, give them the full salary, listen when they ask for something, give them flexible time off.

If what they are working on is really important, take the time to fly and go meet them in person, or if you have a team fly everyone to the same spot.
Are you using Go exclusively?

All the jobs I see are Ruby + Go or Python + Go, which makes it pointless to learn Go if you don't care about Ruby or Python.
author here;
The main golang thread lives in the same thread as Qt's main event loop.
If you now want to "cross" threads from a goroutines (which may lives in another thread), you can use Qt's signals and slots to safely "cross" threads.
Take a look at the "quick/bridge" examples to see how Go is interacting with QML, and therefore has to "cross" threads several time.

edit: can't comment any further currently, I will try to answer everything once I'm unblocked.
My message is more like your confidence after writing hundreds of thousands tests might be just 50%. From my own experience, every single bad case that can happen in a complex system will happen at some point at some customer, wrecking their system and costing them potentially millions, in serious trading bugs even leading to a bankruptcy. Your testing suite won't catch these initially but reactively when you add that test case to your regression suite after bad things happened. In complex systems, tests are just a heuristics for quality, not really something you can rely on (but it's way way better to have them than not). Often tests are clustered around low-hanging fruit or around parts of system used by developers or initial customers and any deviation in usage patterns can cause an outbreak of new, unexpected incorrect situations. Similarly, proving correctness using some formal verification tools might increase your confidence, but won't give you 100% either, as we simply can't model reality properly even within our own frameworks :(
It's a tempting idea, but the SNP are weakest in the Borders already and it would be a difficult message to explain on the doorstep.
Implementation of Parallel Network File System (pNFS)
This is the result of years of trying to meddle in with "identity" politics that the GOP are good at.

Maybe they were once good at it, but I just don't see that as of, say, 2008 and on. See, for example, my one line description of the Alt Right as "People on the right who respond to being called racist with 'We Don't Care'". At least at the national level, the GOPe(stablishment) is either not playing that game, or playing it well. Which is one reason Trump won, and the down ticket races resulted in your cited crashing.

Me, I'm surprised how the Republicans ran the tables statewide in Missouri, defeating a Carnahan and installing a weasel with no moral courage as Governor. And this is a catastrophic change from 2012, when they won Governor, the Senate race, AG, Secretary of State, and Treasurer, that is, every state-wide race but President and Lieutenant Governor. Although we also elected supermajorities to the statehouse, with the governor ending up having the most veto overrides in state history (then again, he didn't play well with the legislature).

We're also not betting that Claire McCaskill will be able to pick her opponent in 2018. I'm not yet willing to say we've turned Red from Purple, but it doesn't look at all good this year.
