Any discussion of why Trump won and why Hillary lost has to acknowledge the fact that Hillary is genuinely corrupt and well known for taking large sacks of cash from Goldman Sachs, and a large segment of the voting population finds the idea of rewarding that kind of behavior with the presidency infuriating beyond all belief.

Is electing Trump instead stupid and spiteful? Yes, but it's completely understandable.
More explicitly, a standard installation of Ubuntu only depends on (and leaves installed) Python 3:

$ lxc launch ubuntu:16.10 yakkety
[...]
$ lxc exec yakkety python || echo no py2
no py2

Python 2 is still available via a package, and in the main repository, which is what we track to deliver security (and critical bugfix) updates for. But we definitely see the importance of moving the ecosystem along -- despite the historical complexity of the transition, and the challenge in getting people to move from their comfort zone.
You could say the same thing about Trump voters....
I actually don't know why it's been such a big pain with Python 3.

Ruby 1.9 also fixed the accurate handling of strings potentially encoded with multiple bytes.

Fast forward to today, we didn't have such a turmoil like with Python and now, not even Ruby 1.9 is supported by the official devteam anymore. And there is nobody holding out on 1.8 anymore.

Compare that to Python 2 which will still be supported until 2020!
No - he should be absolutely perfect in every way and never have used a swear word, even privately among friends.
At the very least Nix would make your Docker builds more reliable. Granted, you could then start making arguments for "why use Docker at all", but i can't answer that.
I've had reasonably intelligent people tell me that George Soros owned all the voting machines and he was going to hand the election to Hillary. Just because someone is misinformed and gullible doesn't mean they are unintelligent. If all this countervailing info was getting to them, the wouldn't be telling me this.
This is why on an application I have done back in the 5.3 days, I decided to throw Qt away and rewrite it using standard C++ for the logic, with Java and C++/CX for the UI.

I was much more productive and I had much better integration with the respective OS APIs.
So.....legal immigrants are afraid of being deported?

That's called irrational fear. It has no basis in reality.
Re 1: Why wouldn't you recommend going with kubernetes? From someone that hasn't deployed anything with it (yet), it seems rather straight-forward if run on a managed cluster (gke). I might be wrong and am thus genuinely interested in what you did for deployments.
Well, what do you think they should do? I'm not proposing a solution, but I do think what I said is true. Even if we equal out everything else, and assume that the government is woefully unable to help poor people or those who have lost jobs, at least one of the candidates is giving those people the illusion of change or hope that things can change. Is that not true?

In regard to the competitiveness of the USA. I'm not schooled well enough in economics to completely understand everything that is going on, or without speaking about specifics argue for or against your point, but if we need to maintain "competitiveness", and the resulting insanely high profits and income inequality across the board, how are we going to ensure that this fortune is spread throughout the country and not concentrated in the hands of the few? If we can't do that, then we also can't begrudge the poor and those left behind by globalization the change to elect people that will enact policies that will benefit them, even if it's to the detriment of people who, quite frankly, don't care about them because they're just a bunch of poor dumb hicks, or poor black people in the ghetto.

Please keep in mind I'm just open for discussion and expressing a view. I respect what you have to say here, and my goal isn't to cause an argument but to listen to what you have to say, ask questions, and state my opinion as well. :)
You heartily wish cancer to Trump supporters?

You do understand you are the bigoted one.

All people of walks of life supported Trump lgbt being one group of them.
Quibble: since this is done by Electoral College adjusted voting, it wasn't "almost dead even" by that accounting, as of right now the AP called Arizona for Trump, making it 290-228. Michigan leans him, New Hampshire leans Hillary, if those two break in those ways, it'll be 316-232, which is fairly big as these things go, close to Obama's 2012 win.

About as big as I expected, although not quite as big as I hoped, then again, there are always surprises in Presidential elections. I didn't expect Trump to get Pennsylvania (or Toomey to win), I expected Russ Feingold to win (yesterday saw a report on the general issue of Team Hillary ignoring/taking for granted the Rust Belt, including ignoring a plea for help from Feingold), and one of the biggest surprises is that Minnesota truly was in play (margin looks to have gone from ~200K in 2012 to ~40K).
A friend had the same problem, of windows and ubuntu not willing to share the same machine on another laptop (acer). He was able to solve it by disabling secure boot and using UEFI as boot mode plus one magical command to show grub boot menu. Maybe it is worth a try, if you have not already.
Setting aside the implication that Thiel is "good people", this is totally wrong. They will suffer guilt by association in a quite literal way:

Only parts (non-core) of QT are GPL, most are LGPL

And it's a bit of a misconception that LGPL requires statically linked things to be open sourced: in that area it only requires that the LGPL components be replaceable (and the source for the LGPL components be available). In the context of static linking, that can be done by releasing pre-link binaries (object files) with instructions for linking them.

Of course, that's likely more work than just making the source available under a proprietary license (ie: provide source code so LGPL components can be replaced).

If you're using Qt GPL components, then yes, you'll need to open source your application (or pay for a Qt License)
As a bystander I think you lost because of political correctness. Declaring racism and biggotry and all those other things wrong does two things. Firstly, it makes it easy to ignore anyone expressing these thoughts. Because they are simply wrong. Secondly, it effectively hides any other view. You won't even know your colleague is a racist because he knows
He cant say it. But political correctness will not change how people think. All of these people without a voice - the racist, biggots, sexists and the stupid - found a voice and voted for him. Guys, half of any population is statistically less smart than the other. You have apparently pissed off that other half and have to live with the consequences. In the land of the free it should be ok to be racist. As a society, you don't have to be but you cannot deny that racist idiot his right to be racist. He should not get his way but he should have the right to speak his mind.
I thought that too, but there's an implied multiplier. I'm guessing it's one of those examples of borrow and abuse things.
And you're ignoring the fact that the family of a conservative service member is most likely conservative as well.
Lots of incentives for us:

- clean Unicode support which prevents mistakes which used to bite us in production

- native async syntax, compatible with Tornado

- asynchronous generators (yield from a coroutine!)

- pathlib and os.scandir

- type annotations

- matrix multiplication

- chained exceptions

- faster dicts, ordered by default

So many useful features, and with the latest Python 3 releases porting has become really easy thanks to improved compatibility with the old syntax.
Big ups to my pops for driving me to the farm after I asked too many questions about how we got it. Also, Snapchat - for keeping all my snaps in Memories so I could use them a month later as b roll. Really makes me wish I had Spectacles right now.

A little more about the Zamindari system: it wasn't like feudalism where you were expected to raise armies. It was more practical & revenue based. As long as you paid / collected taxes, The Mughals didn't care what religion you were. And the British didn't really care what you did either. And it wasn't sharecropping either.

Oddly, I didn't come across much related to the caste system when I asked & searched around. That's weird right? Can someone with more knowledge help me out?
It is fine for dev, but not for production. To quote from the link at the end of the article-
"Docker is meant to be stateless. Containers have no permanent disk storage, whatever happens is ephemeral and is gone when the container stops. Containers are not meant to store data. Actually, they are meant by design to NOT store data. Any attempt to go against this philosophy is bound to disaster.

Moreover. Docker is locking away processes and files through its abstraction, they are unreachable as if they didn’t exist. It prevents from doing any sort of recovery if something goes wrong"

"A crash would destroy the database and affect all systems connecting to it. It is an erratic bug, triggered more frequently under intensive usage. A database is the ultimate IO intensive load, that’s a guaranteed kernel panic. Plus, there is another bug that can corrupt the docker mount (destroying all data) and possibly the system filesystem as well (if they’re on the same disk)."
The central themes of the recent criticisms of Docker are made from the perspective of enterprise. Rapid iteration by Docker-the-Company is a bigger concern when the use case is closer to the Cobol-in-a-Container end of the spectrum. The alternatives are coming from organizations like RedHat and CoreOS and the big cloud providers that are focused on selling into enterprise.

At the container level, Docker containers are the basis for the container specification from the Open Container Institute. The kertuffle is over orchestration. Swarm is a feature from Docker-the-Company that trys to make 'Hello World' container orchestration Ruby-on-Rails easy. Right now the alternative orchestration layers are more toward the "Apache server man page" end of the spectrum.

Essentially, Docker-the-Company and the Docker critics are focused on different contexts. Docker-the-Company thinks container orchestration on a Raspberry Pi is worth pursuing. The Docker critics are coming from a world where CentOS 5 is still relevant (metaphorically).
one business model out there is:
Find a product like vitamins and slap your brand on it put it on amazon and let them fulfill it.
But the campaigns were run to win electoral votes. If the rule for winning was popular votes, the campaigns would have been run entirely differently and the results would have been entirely different.

What I do think the results indicate is that neither party is effectively capturing the support of a large majority of Americans. The typical observation is that we are a country divided, but I rather think that there are a large number of Americans who would prefer voting for a synthesis of typical Democratic and Republican policies, but that isn't possible. Some of those people fall on the Democratic side and some fall on the Republic side during an election and that changes depending on the candidates.
I wanted to post some of his lyrics as a comment, but it turns out you can take any rhyming subset and it is appropriate for almost any occasion. (Not kidding, try it yourself).

Agreed! They just need a panel of curators from a diverse background (men, women, race, religion, education...) who can provide different perspectives and reduce bias (I say reduce...human decisions will always have bias). Hell maybe an indepndent company does the creation so there's no bias for anti FB postings.

If there's no consensus on the "truthiness" then the default is benefit of the doubt that it's true.

What about Muslims waiting for a green card[1]? Are they "Illegal"? What if you are a non-muslim but just from a "terror prone" country? I'm not smug. I'm scared. Forgive me for not being "nice" to the supporters of a candidate who would strike existential fear in my heart.

In part, it's this kind of casual dismissal that many people are concerned about.
I like the idea but it is obviously biased with "promises "such as

>"If I become president, we're all going to be saying 'Merry Christmas' again."
> And they decide that based on emotions

No it could not. What you just said defies reason.
No, that's incorrect. Those polls showed Clinton leading against Trump by 3 points, and Bernie leading against Trump by 10 points.

That's a huge diference.

Some Things Haven’t Changed in the Business Workplace
> Apple could've used something similar to PS/2 but increased the clock rate to whatever they needed, and it'd still look the same and be compatible to existing software.

If you deliver a byte per interrupt to be compatible with PS/2 then your system has to wake up more frequently than a DMA/SPI interface.

> USB … is a polled bus

> PS/2 is interrupt-driven and low-power enough for me.

This is wrong.

USB and PS/2 both deliver an interrupt when there is data available.

USB can be configured to directly store the data in memory, so that in the ISR the operating system simply scans memory.

PS/2 on the other hand has to be polled inside the ISR, whether there is data available or not. Not a problem for a keyboard, but touchpads send a lot of data (of course, this is why everyone uses SPI for touchpads)

> It really doesn't matter what the physical interface on a laptop is, since the software interface is what's important here

This is a common, but fundamental misunderstanding of how software and hardware work.

Hardware is not mere programmable matter, it has wires and current, and those wires take up space, and that current draws down your battery.

A lot of laptop vendors have to include "compatibility chips" that take up space and draw down battery because they don't control the software, but if they did control the software they could make their users happier.
I'm worried he might withdraw the US from NATO, also a very real worry.
Can confirm. Ported our internal stuff and it was much easier and faster than expected.
You're making assumptions about what I said. The US army wouldn't give its soldiers a choice of seceding or not. Using your logic that would be like Britain preventing its soldiers from joining the revolution, which most definitely happened.
So those friends -should- have that much power?
The "modern left" is not some kind of hive mind to which we all belong. It's a very diverse contingent of society, that cannot simply be compared to rural America.

Clearly, if you are an uneducated white man from a small village, your prospects in life are not very good. However, blaming underprivileged minorities, whose prospects and social problems are typically even worse, is highly counter-productive and likely to bring the hone of both those minorities and the more privileged people who live with them.

Something should be done about the impending poverty of rural America. In 2016, uneducated workers are no longer competitive. Factories, farms, even battle ships only require a few people.

Without a concrete economic outlook, the path forward most likely lies in government support through social security, health care, education, i.e. the very policies for which the "coastal elite" tries to vote and pay. However, these policies do create an often-ignored identity crisis: Men want to feel proud of what they are.

Without traditional jobs, or people around them that show them the path to modern jobs, all they have left to be proud of is the values and colour they share with the people around them.
3 * 7 = 21 != 40

3 * 5 = 15 != 40

It’s 2016. Where’s My Flying Pizza?
Exactly this. I interned at a pension fund, but now refuse to work in the financial industry.
The borrower's (Trump's) success is not necessarily aligned with the nation's success. This is exactly why it represents a potential conflict of interests.

E.g. Trump can halve DB's fine in return for future loans. Win-win for both of them, a loss for the US.
Does limited functionality work instead of free trial?

i.e here are 2 out of 5 features. Upgrade to PRO to get the other 3.

The 2 features providing basic functionality.

I realize this is difficult in your situation since it is more a 1 feature extension but I'd be curious if that strategy works.

Thanks
AV slows legitimate software that operates on large data sets to the point of it being unusable. Case in point:

Because of AV - fast on Mac, slow on Windows.

Your complaint is about people who you feel are condescending, yet you are describing them as children?

EDIT: Since I've already been downvoted, perhaps I need to say that I'm pointing out the inherent contradiction in this statement.
Programmers classification
True that. I had been thinking on similar lines myself. If you observe the restaurant industry, an exciting menu isn't the only thing responsible for its success, sure it night help, but most restaurants will have similar items in their menu. The key is boring things like sustaining the business for sufficient time until it crosses a threshold of patronage and consistency in the taste of the food. So yeah, exciting things are overrated.

IANAL but I think for iOS it's still required to either open-source your code under GPL or to buy a commercial license as you said.
But IIRC there is work being done to bring dynamic linking to iOS as well, since apple allowed it with iOS 8 or so.

logically yes, but the subtext of this usage in English adds hidden variables
The electoral college margin doesn't mean a whole lot. Tiny swings in the vote can result in huge swings in the electoral college. If you lose your balance on top of a mountain, teeter both ways, then fall to the right, the fact that you might come to rest miles from the peak doesn't mean it wasn't a near thing.
My caricature is more aimed at urban 20-something hipsters I know, not anyone in a city.

My comment about mugging and race is from repeatedly watching people try to describe criminals in a politically correct way. "20s black guy in athletic gear" makes a lot of people uncomfortable to say when describing a criminal to watch for.
For someone looking from the outside, it seemed like 90%+ of the media were all on Clinton's payroll or had some kind of deal with her.

It was disgusting, and one of the reasons why I feared a Clinton presidency. So much of the media being unwilling to criticize her and try to destroy her opponents so easily and so intensely. This coupled with the fact that Clinton herself was paying trolls to make positive comments about her on the Internet to the point where they had full control of one of the largest subreddit's on Reddit (likely with Reddit admins' tacit approval, for the same reason Google and Twitter was banning anti-Hillary hashtags and auto-suggestions) reminded me too much of Putin's Russia (ironically enough) to be comfortable with it.

Also, NY Times was bad enough with this, I expected much more from them, but I'll never forgive or forget Washington Post's bias in this election. For a "general purpose" media entity, it was no better than Breitbart or such on the right.

And it goes without saying that CNN, and often MSNBC were even worse. Those two I've already forgotten about.
What if you invested 1 year ago? You'd be down ~10% on Apple and up ~10% on MSFT. Anyone can pick an arbitrary timeframe to suit their argument.
I like how in an article written by a liberal acknowledging how condescending the media can be to conservatives, there is a propagation of the myth that in the Middle Ages people thought sickness and demonic possession were the same thing. In fact, the Middle Ages had physicians, nurses, hospitals, and medicine. Not as advanced as ours, but modern medicine didn't just spring up from nowhere.

See for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_hospitals#Medieval_... - there were hospitals, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_medicine_of_Western_E... - medicine certainly involved prayer, but also involved experimenting with different materials to relieve physical symptoms.

Trump was full of flaws, failure, and fraud as as a businessman and it went ignored by his supporters. It's naive to think that his performance or his earnestness as a president will mean anything to them.

This is thinking from the era that was still at least ostensibly about truth and facts. Future elections need be about no more than who can give poor people the loudest, simplest explanation for why they're poor.

> If this were about terrorism and not religion, he wouldn't want to close the border for muslims but for terrorists, I would presume?

Something like 98% of suicide bombings were by muslims this year. And he said that it should be closed until we can vet them properly.

Its a bad idea. And he refined it to muslims from countries with lots of terrorism.

I mean...if you were part of stoning a women to death in Saudi Arabia...should we welcome you with open arms? If you come from a country where homosexuality is punishable by death...I really don't get why liberals want to let these people in, and then go and protest for them.

If we are tougher at the border, then the ones who are here will live happier lives because people will stop suspecting them of being terrorists. Try talking to a liberal about an idea like that...no chance.

> Trump did support the Iraq-war, unless he was lying when he replied "Yeah I guess so" when he was asked the question.

Yes on Howard Stern. Far from a glowing endorsement. And he is on record against it just after it started.

> I said "possibly rich businessman" -- which I cannot for the LIFE of me understand why you'd call those words "dripping in vitriol" -- because I personally find it very suspicious that on the one hand he boasts about how succesful and how rich he is, and on the other hand he keeps the evidence firmly hidden. You're free to not find that shady, obviously.

Ok maybe I read it differently in my head. Its one of those things that is quite irrelevant, but the media deciding to push this narrative to discredit him. And if you only read an article in the news about it, its what you would think. When the story of Trumps fortune is incredibly long and complex and he has without question done incredibly well for himself.

> I'm sorry if you lost friends over your political preference;

It would not be worth losing friends over it - so I just nod my head and try to nudge them to a rationale position. Political preference is not what any of my friendships are based on. But I think for a lot of people, its becoming an integral part. Bonds forming at protests, etc.
