Haha, that's hilarious. I love how you managed to (non-ironically) try and twist this in your mind about me being the one needing a safe space. Excellent.

I didn't engage on the merits of the discussion for the same reason I didn't say that X is necessarily weakened as an argument (you completely skipped the word "if" in your reading of first quote above), which is that I don't have a particular dog in this fight.

But it's so lazy and intellectually dishonest to fault someone for pointing out that maybe we need more evidence. And to then basically call them a traitor? I felt like commenting on it. So I did. Without any disclaimers of any former mgmt experience so I guess I'm a monster as well.

Enough entertainment for one night, I'm out :)
> the algorithm was said to play a role in virtually every strategic decision Clinton aides made, including where and when to deploy the candidate and her battalion of surrogates and where to air television ads — as well as when it was safe to stay dark.

Meanwhile, Trump was doing 3 rallies a day, across multiple states, and up to 5 a day (including until after midnight) in the days leading up to the election, drawing crowds in excess of ten thousand people.

Where was Clinton during all of this? Almost nowhere to be seen. It seems to me that Ada made some pretty terrible choices.
My understanding is that they're a better predictor of the final tally than any other poll, because they occur after the vote has been cast.
You are free to disable SIP and do whatever runtime injection or other modifications to binaries you please, provided you have the knowledge to do so. Just because they ship it in a default mode doesn't mean they stop you from cracking it open if that's your desire.
If the renter pays a higher tax rate than the owner, and they both have the same right to government services, that could be seen as a subsidy.
Selling through vending machines is brilliant, they can distribute the glasses very inexpensively while putting them in places that are easily accessed by their primary users.

This company is amazing. They have found the nexus between social and the real (cool)world. I don't mean just the glasses but their actions as a company. They understand that for tech to be popular it must meet a fundamental need. Apple found it through design,beauty and the need to belong. I think Snap is about to find the same thing for their product. I predict that the delineation that existed between Apple and Microsoft will be coming between Snapchat and Facebook. Facebook will be known as the rough tech giant, as Microsoft has been known, while Snap will be the better refined cool app, as Apple is now.

How is this different from stereotyping then?
The difference wrt kids is that you have an option to refuse care in the long run, eg by giving up kids for adoption. In the violinist example, if lets say a suitable volunteer is available but needs time to come to the hospital, then yes, you need to stay attached for a short while and disconnecting would be immoral. But if this choice is not given to you, can you be expected to sacrifice an important chunk of your life for someone else?

Otherwise, should you be compelled to donate one of your kidneys?

The original description of TDD was in an ancient book about programming. It said you take the input tape, manually type in the output tape you expect, then program until the actual output tape matches the expected output.
In Go, I use https://github.com/pkg/errors these days and wrap errors with stack trace.

package main

import (
"fmt"
"io"
"os"

"github.com/pkg/errors"
)

func main() {
v, err := run()
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("err=%+v\n", err)
os.Exit(1)
}
fmt.Printf("v=%d\n", v)
}

func run() (*int, error) {
a, err := foo()
if err != nil {
return nil, errors.WithStack(err)
}
b, err := a.bar()
if err != nil {
return nil, errors.WithStack(err)
}
c, err := b.baz()
if err != nil {
return nil, errors.WithStack(err)
}
return c, nil
}

func foo() (*a, error) {
return new(a), nil
}

type a struct{}

func (a *a) bar() (*b, error) {
return new(b), nil
}

type b struct{}

func (b *b) baz() (*int, error) {
return nil, io.EOF // some arbitrary error for demo
}

This prints a useful stack trace like below and you can know where the error occurred.

$ go run main.go
err=EOF

I'd argue that has more to do with a unified package manager and installation process than GUI vs. CLI.
We do know of Hillary's mentor, he claimed to have left the KKK. We know of other KKK Grand Master who have claimed to have donated to Hillary. It's all just claims and accusations to smear the opposite opponents in the election cycle. These are not important issues. Voters knows these are just election smears.
I approve of many Dems, and disapprove strongly of Feinstein, so I'm sympathetic to the thrust of that argument... but I fear that might be throwing the baby out with the bathwater. If the only result of enacting term limits was Feinstein getting kicked out, I'd be all for it. But it affects far more politicians than her.

The natural counterargument is that there are probably other ways of dealing with the Feinstein problem without the nuclear option of term limits.

Specifically, the party doesn't field a credible contender to her, as she's right up in the core of the party elite. "Top 2" was supposed to encourage challenges from contenders similar to the party incumbents, but I think we'd be better served by a proportional representation system (STV or similar).

And if the core problem is that the party parachutes in stooges and backs them with the full weight of the party's campaign funding and infrastructure, then I don't see how term limits solve the problem; out with Feinstein, in with another party-blessed elitist who only cares about surveillance when it is used on fellow members of the elite [1]. I'm sure they can find someone who has not served a day in public service to carry on her agenda.

I saw two 10yr old girls on a sushi date here in NYC by themselves. Table full of sushi, eating with chopsticks and catching up with mature conversations. The children here generally seem very independent and well adjusted.
the same about physician :). Anyway - i'm not a doctor, so it is just a personal anekdot. To me it was very active fermentation and resulting excessive unstoppable belching (impacting/stumbling the natural breathing movement of the chest/lungs and that breathing problem made it very hard to for example concentrate or to get to sleep, etc.), fatigue and brain fog. Reading Internet made it pretty clear that yeast/candida is the primary (and basically the only) candidate. Antifungals drugs seems to be the medical way to go. On the other side - giving that candida is the natural tenant inside our GI system, it seems to me (again, i'm not a doctor, it is just my understanding) that full "cure" isn't really possible and one can only control the issue. Giving that people reported very different results with those drugs and those drugs may be heavy on liver i decided to go initially with more natural alternatives. I'v been so far fortunate that it works for me. Specifically well known natural antifungals - garlic (as pills because real garlic smell is an issue at home and at work :), apple cider vinegar (for me it works as 2 tablespoons diluted in a glass of water 2 times a day), ginger (several cups of ginger tea during the day. Also instead of apple cider vinegar i frequently use vinegar based tonic like Kevita, specifically the "Tumeric Ginger" one. The tonic also contains probiotic cultures and that works great for me). I use all 3 of them - garlic, vinegar, ginger - as at the beginning i noticed that when using only one the yeast seems to adjust after some time and the issue starts to come back. In general it seems very individual, takes some time and experimentation. It took me several months to develop my regimen mentioned above and achieve current stable good results. Again, i'm not a doctor and this is just a personal anekdot.
I think you're mistaking the purpose of the 1st amendment. Racist comments are protected speech in that the United States Government cannot arrest/imprison/etc. you for that kind of speech.

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom of repercussions for your speech. New York is an at-will state, meaning there is no legal problem with this email. There is no protection for people getting fired for hate speech, just like there is no legal protection for people boycotting or refusing to work for companies that they disagree with.
I thought so too until I realized, so many crazy ideas have been tried out, it's sometimes hard to separate comedy from reality.
Or:

3) Agree to high-density rezoning, endure the construction noises and shadows and whatnot for a couple of years, then sell your house to a condo developer for a massive profit and never have to work again.

This isn't a hypothetical, I saw it happen on the street I lived on in college. The detached houses fell like dominos and were all replaced by high-rises until there were none left.

What's your value to your employer?

If you're not willing to stay late to do a cross time zone meeting then I agree that you're worth a bit less to your boss than you otherwise would be.

Personally I would rather accept a bit less pay to be rid of a nuisance like a boss who thinks I'll inconvenience myself and my family for stupid shit like adjusting myself to his outsourced labour's schedule. I do stay late when shipping a release or working on an urgent bug. But stay late so some delicate flower off in India can work 9-5? Fuck that.

We just saw what voters do when they feel screwed. Here’s the theory behind why
Agreed.

The problem is the users, not the platform. If users propagate misinformation, the users propagate misinformation.

The easy solution people often jump to is fighting negatives with negatives, assuming it yields a positive. But often a positive approach is more effective. Offering incentives for good acts, not just disincentives for bad acts, is a fairly popular recent trend backed by research.

In this case I can't help but think that the best solution is to focus on education and the propagation of correct information, not censorship (or at least, something that smells like censorship) of bad information. If "new media" is a problem we should be fighting it closer to the source.

I don't know what Facebook's role in that would be, but ideally, as a platform, it would be minimal.

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.
But it is not xenophobia to want to keep terrorists out by temporary stopping immigration from countries with ties to terrorism. And that has nothing to do with their religion. It has to do with the fact that terrorists want to blow people up.

Calling that xenophobia and religious bigotry is just a straight out lie.

I don't think they care about OSX penetration, but they care about their competitive advantage of controlling both the software and hardware. Stuff like retina display was hugely easier to introduce by Apple than any other constructor thanks to having OSX in house and only their hardware to support.

Investing in Linux would not be a problem it just means that is becomes just a tiny bit harder to do whatever they want on the hardware side. I'm surprised they still maintain Bootcamp.
try!() is a macro. Hence all it does is take a given expression and expand the whole thing into a if-error-then-return block. I guess you say that it's an explicit return under the hood.
I can't help but roll my eyes whenever I see more WebGL visualizations from Uber. I had interviewed there maybe a year ago for the visualizations team, but didn't get an offer because I "had too much WebGL experience and not enough d3 experience." I think this is now the second or third webgl based library since released by Uber.
The term rent selling stats with 'rent' for a reason. The maintenance on any single property is miniscule compared with the rent extracted. Added over many properties, sure, might be a lot of work. But you're also getting a lot of rent.

The bigger part of the problem is the tendency to pass on the tax on passive income to the tenant.
That would bump mine up to about 2% total, which still doesn't look particularly unusual.
No, the idea of being persecuted for what you believe and then in turn, lying in public about it is not a new idea.

However, formalizing the concept this way allowed the further step of the preference cascade, and that, while also not exactly new in practice, was a more enlightening concept.

CLIs are idiotic. Why can't you just click a button and be done, certainly not sit there and spend 20 minutes figuring out what the fuck -g means or if knockut-sortable is missing an o.

It's utterly ridiculous that you're discussing this and just shows how many of you are utterly brainwashed by utterly useless trivia that your computer should be memorising for you but your fellow programmers are too lazy to implement GUIs for.

I honestly can't comprehend that you so gleefully spend your time so pointlessly, you should be spending your brains on solving actual life and business problems, not memorising the syntax of CLIs you'll use once every 3 months, or worse still, never again, or virtually useless regex syntax.

> Homes aren't competing with other investments, they're competing with renting or being homeless in some form.

If you have $1 million, you can buy a house and live in it "for free" or you can buy stocks/bonds/ETFs, maybe earn $50k a year in dividends and capital gains, rent a place for $30k a year, and pocket the difference.

So yes, buying a home does compete with a combination of (other investments + renting).

It's not clear to me why there is a magic time that someone suddenly becomes ineligible for public service. I'm sure many politicians keep getting better at their job, even between year 16 and year 32.

Or even if we assume an asymptote of quality improvement over time, surely we want to have more politician-years spent during the peak of their quality, rather than in their first 4/8/16 when their output is less?

The idea of term limits implies that politician's utility becomes negative at some point in time, and that just doesn't fit with my understanding of how negotiating and learning how to build consensus works.

I'd love to see some hard data either way on this one.

I live with IBS and although I'm better now, I was in a terrible shape for about 2.5 years. Very expensive rabbit hole of doctors and tests that lead nowhere. Long story short, this is true. Gut bacteria (an imbalance in the case of IBS) is a real thing. Never mess with your diet doing stupid stuff. Always be weary of anti-biotics. And if you're suffering a lot at the moment look up the low-fodmap diet from the Monash University. That's the only thing that really helped me.

https://crates.io/crates/error-chain or https://crates.io/crates/quick-error (which error-chain uses and adds to) provide macros to help with defining error types.

Edit: Specifically with error-chain, you get:

- Concise declaration of the enum for each wrapped error type (your first code block).

- Automatic impl of From for each wrapped error type (your first code block).

- A custom Result type (your first code block).

- Concise way to define description() functions for each enum variant, which get used for the Display impl (your second block). For "foreign_links" it would forward to the wrapped error's fmt automatically, so you only need to do this for the others.

- Bonuses like backtraces conditional on RUST_BACKTRACE=1

Here's the email I got Nov/3rd, a 20 day warning. I haven't used it actively so I wasn't affected.

Subject line: Important: Your Compose/MongoHQ Sandbox Database

Sandbox Retirement

Since 2011, we've provided free access to our platform under the "Sandbox" plan. Thousands of individuals and businesses have had the ability to experiment, learn, and grow their use of MongoDB.

As the saying goes, "all good things must come to an end". The server "lennon.mongohq.com", where you currently have a database, will soon be sunset.

Data stored within Sandbox databases on lennon.mongohq.com will be permanently deleted on November 23, 2016.

We would love for you to migrate your data to our rock-solid paid plan, where you can access a trove of new features, enjoy super-fast speed, high-availability fault tolerance, and more.

If you no longer need your Sandbox database, we'll automatically and securely remove it from your account on November 23, 2016.

If you need your Sandbox database, you'll want to migrate to a paid plan or otherwise archive your data. You can perform all these tasks within the Compose dashboard.

Heroku user? You'll need to follow these instructions to migrate your Heroku add-on.

Any questions? Just reply to this message to open a support ticket and we'll help you out!

This is a one-time email sent because you have a database with Compose. You will not be emailed again.
Why not? Someone working their ass off for $300k shouldn't pay more tax than someone banking $300k in "long term" capital gains.
Wait, so you're implying that "management types" are so stupid that they would have read this article (plus many more like it) and been like "yeah, guess it's better for us to pay the engineers more", but then they see a short comment from someone on a forum saying "hmm, I'm skeptical of this; is there good evidence?" and so the management types are like "whew! never mind! turns out there's no evidence!"

This is simultaneously: a) a bizarrely uncharitable view of "management types" and their intelligence level, b) a clear indication that you don't think the evidence is very good, and c) a ridiculously impractical view of how impossible it is to keep a simple thought from spreading, let alone just occurring.

The fact that the person you were responding to is, in your words, a "management type", and came up with this objection should show how dumb it is to try and keep it out of the discussion. They can clearly think of this objection on their own.
It is, but they have taken steps to distance themselves from that marketing bc of their strategy for MPVD.
> The examples are pretty ... I'm not sure

You got some of it, pretty is part of the point here. You can do nicer looking things with WebGL than with an HTML canvas.

High performance and interactivity is another side of what to look for here. Spend some time rotating and zooming these examples to see the kinds of interactions you don't get in other data visualizations. You can (potentially) visualize a lot more data at interactive rates with a WebGL view than you can with other techniques.

The laying/compositing tech is a third piece of what is interesting here, allowing different data slices to be rendered and included separately. This is useful as it's common to put everything in single WebGL view for ease of implementation initially, but can get complicated and may not scale as well as this layering approach.
I haven't seen the video yet, so this is just my interpretation.

Asking about Iraq war at the time was similar to asking "Should we try to stop ISIS?" now. I'd give 80% courage credits to whoever that dare saying "I'm not sure, I guess so".

All in all, unless Trump had access to more information than the general populace, it doesn't matter whether he opposed or supported it. We decidedly didn't have enough info to make a sound judgement, and the conclusion we made - be it correct or not - would merely be a metaphorical coin toss.
