I moved to Canada from the US because of the G.W. Bush presidency. I'm not claiming it's statistically important, but my family moved. I'm lucky enough to be employable wherever I choose to live, so I exercised that power. Maybe you can too.
>I wonder if this will have any effect on employer urine testing for the drug in California.

Probably none. The same thing that happened in Colorado. Smaller companies already don't care, and larger ones will always defer to federal law.

>I also wonder what a Trump vs Clinton Presidency would mean for the enforcement of federal drug laws in states that have legalized marijuana. Would they be as hands-off as the Obama administration has been?

It could be disastrous if Trump wins. Chris Christie has been a moral crusader against marijuana for his entire term as governor, and a potential Christie attorney general's office could come down hard on states.
Sure, but (depending on the area, at least) you can live very comfortably on 50% of what a west-coast US developer makes. Techies tend to forget that our pay rates are way above the national average.
Thing is you can move to pretty much any western state or large city and not have to deal with most of that. Portland, Seattle, SF, LA, LV, etc.
That's definitely true. And don't get me wrong, salaries aren't terrible, all things considered. If you're a dev with a few years experience here, you're likely making significantly more money on your own that they average Canadian family earns.
"Waltz over the border" implies illegal immigration. Which we kinda have a soft spot for in US.
> It went so far that people who would vote for Trump lied in polls just so that they don't receive strange looks or something worse.

Hi there.

I swear to God, it's like coming out all over again. That this should be true of any political stance is utterly absurd, but, hey, here we are.
POTUS is a figurehead responsible for meeting heads of state, law and order, and starting wars. Their veto power allows them to horse trade for the legislation they wish they could enact.

> When manufacturing and other jobs are outsourced

shrug if we were competitive, we would get those jobs. POTUS and the legislature should focus on keeping the roads maintained, streets safe, police in check. Leave business to the invisible hand of the marketplace.

I just don't think we can trust this candidate. His only allegiance is to himself. "We will have to leave borders behind," [1] "Hillary Clinton will 'go down at a minimum as a great senator" [2]. "His grandmother in Kenya said he was born in Kenya and she was there and witnessed the birth, okay?" [3]

The first and second hit are from you, humorously enough.
I like the library but the title is pure clickbait. I expected an article arguing this position, not a github repo. The github repo simply does not explain why "you should never use Socket.IO" - performance is not necessarily the only feature Socket.IO offers, it could be API surface, etc..Socket.IO is also two parts - a client and a server, and this library is just a server.

The title is doubly worse because it doesn't actually promote the library. You could quote the repo instead - "mWebSockets - a lightweight, efficient & scalable WebSocket server"
The pay may be a lot less here but real estate is way cheaper. For the price of a 1 bedroom apartment in San Francisco you could buy a 4 bedroom house in Waterloo. We have a nice startup scene here that's really expected to take off when the LRT opens up in 2018.
Maybe survivorship bias? We hear about the deals that were made but not all the ones that fell through.
They do -- in the form of staff on the ground collecting the information from the individual county-level offices. They collect that data as it's announced before it's even reported up to state election bodies.
Good riddance.
Canada is great, until you realize you need the US healthcare system for any major surgery (unless you want to wait years) and you truly don't have the freedom of speech.
Those who have not lived outside of the US (or NA) don't realize how hard life is for the rest of the world; most will just move right back within months.

Been there myself. Life ain't easy out there.

Edit - A little bit of context here: I am speaking as someone who was born and raised in a developing country rife with racial and political problems. My point is, a lot of people who are yelling about immigrating due to the election result are overly naive with their outlook. It takes an incredible amount of effort to adjust to a new environment, not to speak of giving up the connections and comfort they have in the US. It's not as easy as just "moving to another country".

> the language is an unsurmountable pile of poorly-thought-out and impossible-to-compose new ideas on top of the least interesting pieces of Haskell

For a Haskell programmer, what he tried to do (use typeclasses) is extremely common. It's some of the most basic stuff you can do. Elm is clearly modeled after Haskell, and absolutely fails to maintain the basic patterns that Haskell users take for granted.
Cool, how welcoming are they to non Western immigrants? And also recent graduates?
I can't believe this is the first time I've seen anyone compare Trump to Berlusconi. It's spot on.

You can get a pretty nice 1 BR apartment in Montreal for ~$600 US/mo. Incredible bars, beautiful people, great schools, bike paths, and lots of outdoor rinks to play hockey in the winter :-)

FYI: Montreal startups operate in English!
Yes, when you think it will help your side, you want to abolish it.
The main disconnect is how much buffering/pipelining there is of inputs and outputs on modern platforms. This affects native games just as much as emulators, but most people don't complain because they're used to it. Modern systems driving LCD TVs routinely hit total input latency of 5+ frames.

Oddly enough, we might get the necessary stack enhancements for lower input latency thanks to VR development, since in VR it's associated with vertigo and motion sickness. It would be pretty funny if a VR headset turned out to be the best display for old-school 2D games.
Yeah, I mentioned in another comment that a typical dev salary here is significantly higher than the average family income.

You're spot on w.r.t. most living expenses, too. I've got a big apartment in a part of Toronto that I really like for $1200 a month. Buying a house in this city is another story, though. On my grandfather's street, smallish 3 bedroom detached homes are selling for $1.5 million+.
I disagree strongly with the tone and language of this article, but I think it actually contains an interesting and nontrivial analysis and shouldn't be outright dismissed (though its title probably should be).
You know that most people don't care about earning SV salary right?
I can't believe this is the first time I've seen someone NOT compare Trump to Hitler.
I use C-], but basically pick anything that isn't a common bash or emacs cursor movement. I can't use C-b as that is my "backspace"
Very welcoming. I was born in Brazil, being here over a decade.
I would wager it's easier to waltz over the US-Canada border than the US-Mexico border if you were so inclined.
No, it isn't, and people learn the language
Bay area only pays more because 90% of your salary goes to rent.
Are you glad to have moved? Any recommendations on cities to look at?
I don't even know how to respond to this. People die trying to make it into the U.S. I'm not a flag-waving jingoist, but the the United States is a f'ing great place to live.
Huh? How is life hard outside the US unless you're in a really undesirable part of the world?
Republicans won the House and Senate too, and he gets to appoint probably 3 justices to the Supreme Court.

So it'll be a more unified government than you've seen in a long time, which makes Trump able to get a lot of his platform through.

It's a great time to live in America.
I haven't heard any of Trump's opponents threaten to move to Mexico... ;-)
Busbud (busbud.com) is as well.
More rain, different money but might not be that difficult
Can't compete on cheap booze in Ontario (fancy stuff is comparable).. Everything else is.
I think you're underestimating just how trying a process that can be, and how alienating it is to adapt to a new culture, new food, new everything.
Similarly, msvc guarantees signed overflow, it's not UB when targeting only that compiler. And gcc/clang have a compiler switch to do the same, I believe. Those things are probably what they meant when they said to look at what the compiler does.
Anyone supporting trump is getting labeled a racist, misogynist, xenophobe. We've seen what happens to to people like Thiel and Eich, people try to get them black balled from the industry because they dare to disagree.

Then someone openly flouting this "PC ideology" you've been getting increasingly frustrated by comes along they look quite appealing.
BS. Reagan Like trump was a popular actor and was very charismatic.

Importantly Trump (likely) lost the popular vote by a large margin. But he focused on the few areas that actually count. Remember the extra 250 thousand Hillary voters in DC count for 3, the significantly smaller margin in Florida, and PA count for 49.
Would a federal crackdown on the states affect people who are possessing for personal use or growing their own? Or would it only affect commercial entities trying to sell?

State and county websites, I think?
I think the working class was really tired of Globalism. I'm as liberal as they get, but building in the cheapest country always bothered me.

I get hammered for this, but we buy Apple products. We pay a premium. We are told Apple has to build overseas, in order to sell us products at their low prices. Then they have the gut wrenching corporate problem of too much cash?

I'm sorry--it always bothered me.

That said, I'll be shocked if Trump succeeds in bringing back manufacturing. Those senators are not going to raise Tarriffs, or do anything to upset their corporate lobbiests.

The killer Socket.IO feature for me is being able to talk to clients from other server processes using socket.io-redis and socket.io-emitter [1].

Any ideas how we can achieve something similar using µWS? I guess using it as the engine in Socket.IO would do it, but let’s assume we want to get rid of Socket.IO entirely.

"Shortly before the polls close, over 4,000 stringers report to county election centers. When the first polls close, they’ll be ready to start phoning in the raw vote as it is reported by the counties. They’ll place their calls to AP election centers around the country.

At the centers, a total of over 800 vote entry clerks will answer those calls, and walk each stringer through a dialogue as they enter the number of precincts reporting and the candidates’ votes into our election night system. "
Yip, this is what I meant.
I hope so. Berlusconi "only" contributed to Italy's economy stagnating for 20 years and loss of standing in the eyes of the world. He wasn't really a fascist, much as some on the left tried to label him one.
Canada and the US are virtually equivalent in most respect for jobs, standard of living etc... I'm from Canada, and now live in the US, I lived in north Florida and have seen people struggle incredibly compared to anyone I can think of in Canada. Even the poorest in Canada can at least see a doctor when they really need it. I know many people who are about to lose their only option to healthcare if ACA is repelled. They'd be better off in Canada.
It did happen with Vietnam draft evaders. There is an entire generation of former Americans born in Australia and Canada: like Mel Gibson and Stewart Butterfield of Flickr/Slack.

Also with those fleeing communism as refugees or asylum seekers - i'm born to one of those.

I don't doubt that some people will move, but it won't be to the extent of previous migrations. You have a better chance of changing and fixing the USA from the inside.
My impression is that pollsters, people surveying voters during the election, report via the AP or directly to networks; seems basically like the traditional news wire.

You can do it accidentally in a few towns and I've crossed the US-CA border into the states before where we had to wake up the border guard.
I know of a family (2A+3C) who were unhappy with the direction the UK were taking, and so moved to Sweden.

Obviously it's more said than done, but it happens and I admire those who follow through.
If you didn't read the newspaper, how many of the negative things you mentioned would actually impact your life? Would you even know who was president for the last 4 (or the next 4) based on the impacts to your life? I'd guess not.

Just live your life and be happy, vote when you can but don't let what you don't control make you sad.
Many are, but so are many (assumed) Clinton supporters:

http://thefederalist.com/2016/10/27/berkeley-activists-block...

And as I said elsewhere, many of Trumps votes are coming from people that voted for Obama last time. Do you really think they are racist?
If any of you have seen an Ottawa winter, you'll understand that the one guy on the night-shift there is too busy trying to figure out how fast he can get to Australia.
One of the things that could make this the most important presidential election in history is that there could be an unprecendented number of Supreme Court nominations in the next 4-8 years. That, to me, is what makes this such an important election since the SC has, in my opinion, been stepping beyond its power in the last 10 years so the utility of nomination becomes even more important.

Other than that, you're right, House and Senate control is far more important. But don't underestimate these god-awful presidential signing statements that have become so popular. Appointed cabinet positions can make quite a difference depending on the domain. There are other ways to side-step the separation of powers.
I live in Nelson BC where the powder skiing is legendary. You can get a very nice 3 bedroom house for USD$ 350k. Granted it's a small town but for the right people it's an incredible place with a small srtarrup scene.
Looking at Reykjavik, Taipei, Lisbon, Santiago de Chile and Valencia (Spain). In addition to well-known places like Sydney, Copenhagen, Amsterdam.
There are many places in Washington state where one can walk (or dance) into Canada. Rather un-guarded border.
For the price if a 1 bedroom apartment in San Francisco you could buy a 4 bedroom house in northern California. (3+ hr drive north of SF)
My girlfriend and I (Both software devs) would gladly move to Canada with the help of a company employing us. Almost immediately. We have little to no attachment to our current city of Portland.
Yes. To clarify, I'm not saying there wasn't competition. Rather that the functionality covered by the winner is just much greater.
Quoting you:

> (, racist) working class folks

You didn't say Trump was, you tried to smear the whole working class or at least the ones that voted for Trump.

I don't like Trump, I just personally refuse to think that 50% of Americans are stupid racists.
Thanks to Wikileaks, we know that the Democrats wanted to ensure that the Republicans would nominate someone more extreme. Look at the PDF attachment here. There's more than just this quote, too:

Operationalizing the Strategy Pied Piper Candidates

There are two ways to approach the strategies mentioned above. The first is to use the field as a whole to inflict damage on itself similar to what happened to Mitt Romney in 2012. The variety of candidates is a positive here, and many of the lesser known can serve as a cudgel to move the more established candidates further to the right. In this scenario, we don’t want to marginalize the more extreme candidates, but make them more “Pied Piper” candidates who actually represent the mainstream of the Republican Party. Pied Piper candidates include, but aren’t limited to:

• Ted Cruz

• Donald Trump

• Ben Carson

> The app works by minutely altering the first photo to conceal the other.

What does this mean?

From the end-users perspective, I guess they still need the app to do this, at which point you could just send two images and no one would know anyway - and it'd save you some time.
No. It most definitely will not. That's compliance to the "drug-free workplace" law, which is Federal.

Trump is absolutely going to do everything he can to force states who have legalized it, to comply with federal law.
Depending on when the new president gets to a microphone.
60% of Toronto is foreign born.
Yeah, it's pretty good.

Will Trump keep it that way?
Being a global reserve currency is a boon during periods of inflation and a drag during periods of deflation. Given the economic environment since 2008 countries central banks have been fairly aggressively trying to weaken their currencies to stoke inflation and the "benefit" is more a "burden".

The loss of our reserve status and the gradual divestiture of USD assets by foreign central banks would have the impact (if gradual) of raising long term borrowing costs, lowering asset prices and increasing wage pressures. Those effects would be uneven across the economy and benefit some people at the expense of others. Generally helping the factory working I Ohio and hurting those who own highly leveraged assets (like US stocks).

Most of the benefits of the USD simply accrue because of the size of the US economy which tends to make it less volatile and less prone to "runs" on the currency. Even if the world were to panic about the direction of the US political system there simply isn't anything else big enoug to run to that would seriously tank the dollar. The same cannot be said for the political developments in a counrty the size of Venezuela.

These benefits are independent of the reserve status and accrue to the Euro just as much as the USD.
I did this in the 2014 election cycle, reporting a county in Ohio.

They pay $50 for someone to go to the county and report the election results. There's an iphone, android, and mobile web site, as well as a call center that takes that input.

Honestly, it was a really fun evening in the middle of nowhere Ohio...
TN-1 NAFTA visas pretty much work that way... for as long as NAFTA exists...
Agreed. It's still funny though.
I use a tiling window manager, and mainly use tmux to maintain ssh connections to other servers that I can connect to remotely.

So my main "jumphost" machine has a tmux session with multiple "tabs" logged in to other systems I manage. I can connect to this tmux session from my work desktop machine, from my laptop, or from home (via VPN). Makes it very easy to stop, go somewhere else, and pick up with everything the way I left it. I also don't worry about dropped remote ssh connections anymore (not uncommon at home because I often have to reset my cheap wireless router).

I don't do anything really advanced with tmux. One thing I'd like to know is a good way to deal with tmux within tmux, I have occasionally stumbled into that situation and then it's hard to get the "inner" tmux to do anything because the "outer" tmux intercepts all the key commands.
The post is opinionated and a bit aggresively worded.

But his(/her?) major complaint is valid: lack of type classes, which completely kills essential composability and generic properties of Haskell. And the module system doesn't offer MLs features to make up for it (signatures).

This means that Elm requires boilerplate for things that are elegantly handled by type classes.

You may also look at Purescript [1], a more complete Haskell inspired language compiling to Javascript.

Haskell is a complex language. So I'm not necessarily saying that Purescript is a good choice for the average developer unfamiliar with functional languages.

Elms 'lack of features' makes it easy to pick up. Especially if you aren't familiar with FP. But Elm is TOO simple.

Awesome! Was hoping something like this would come along — has anyone used this and can speak to their experience with it? In particular, what about graphics performance?
After two or three conservative justices are appointed the court your life will be mega affected. Are you gay? Kiss gay marriage goodbye. Right to privacy ? Gone. Wanna buy or own a sex toy? Those were illegal in many states until a progressive court put an end to it. A conservative court will absolutely reverse that.

This is a huge deal.
Sort of funny, because Australia had its own Vietnam draft.

No, not at all. Just not who I expected to be the source of a post like this, is all. A flat out shocker, to be honest.
My reaction to this is mainly that typeclasses seems annoying to use in the first place, and that the alternative seems, if anything, even more annoying.
Unlike SF, we have great public transit! Most startups are a 5 minute walk from a subway stop, and it's cleaner/less crowded. Few people own cars here. (But granted, the snow is no joke!)
Is there anyone else that could have secured a majority in the House and potentially (as of 1247am EST) the Senate? I doubt that, DC politics is more about trading wins like potheads passing the joint around. I don't mean that pejoratively but literally -- Republicans and Democrats trade wins and losses to curry favor with one-another, meanwhile the interests of the American people are secondary to this political snobbery.

Furthermore, who else could have rallied the masses to vote so thoroughly? A Jeb vs Hillary election would have been very dull, almost depressingly so, meanwhile a Cruz vs Hillary election would have bordered on hopelessly disinteresting.
Who wants a 3 hour commute? If you worked at a startup in Waterloo you'd have a 5 minute commute from your 4 bedroom to the office. You could walk to work, just as people do from their really expensive apartments in SF.
