Theoretically

> "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."

Practically it's all about politics

The other impeachment was of Andrew Johnson who barely avoided conviction by one vote was also by radical republicans and also about politics. Although in their case they were radically pro civil rights for former slaves so I'm a lot more sympathetic. Still the law they passed to try to explicitly trip up Johnson (banning him from dismissing Lincoln's secretary of defense) was arguably unconstitutional.

The reason Trump may not be impeached is because his party controls both houses of congress and they are afraid of the base. If his popularity craters finding a reason to impeach won't be that hard. The emoluments clause makes for an easy one (no proof of corruption needed just benefit, ultimatley congress is the judge). For other formal charges it may be my bias and low opinion but I have no doubt that if congressional investigations occur something about pre-election russian ties, corruption, or abuse of power will be found.
But I don't think this article is trying to say "this type of person is great but society keeps them down, man". Or at least, that's not how I read it. The author explicitly says that the failure comes from lack of application.
>Trump claimed that he will do so with hotel profits, but we have no evidence that he's actually doing that.

Given how hard he fought for the Presidency, I seriously doubt that he would endanger his ability to continue in office just to keep a few tenths or hundredths of a percent of his overall hotel revenue.
Is there Stanford vs. Cornell shade? Ivy Leaguers get touchy when Stanford people call themselves an Ivy (hell they get touchy that Penn is an Ivy) but is there actual direct beef?

That was my thoughts. My guess is that people are falling for "FREE VPN NOW!!!" type apps. Running your own VPN is easy for the HN crowd, but well beyond most users. I'm lucky enough to get a free, highspeed VPN via my ISP, but I suspect that is very uncommon as well.

Ok but then we are talking about Java, .NET and JavaScript.
They all more or less work on many more devices than Ruby but at some points are so huge and complex and do not perform the same on all of these devices that you still kinda want to pick a specific technology.

Hell Ruby has RubyMotion that allows you to write native apps.

>and Hitler had been perceived as a thug since at least the Beer Hall Putsch.

To leftist, progressive, and jewish journalists. The general public, and especially the upper classes, concerned with the thread of communism, were much more sympathetic. And much more antisemitic as you say. When Charlie Chaplin wanted to make the Great Dictator, for example, he received numerous threats and indignant messages from within the US.

>What's true is that mainstream sentiment in the US was more sanguine about antiSemitism in 1937 than it is now, or, for that matter, than it would be after Kristallnacht in 1938

Well, even later. E.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS_St._Louis

Why not use it on a file-to-file basis in a Java-project. That is exactly what the makers thought of.
Good point. We use the Windows stack :D
They are talking about adding some optional type inference in Ruby 3.0. See the rejection comments of https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9999
This is the most stong typing I'll accept for Ruby. There are plenty of other languages if strong typing is important for a project. They usually look bad (not because of strong typing) but if one really needs them...
That is only easy if the overall architecture has already been taken care of by someone else.

Hi xiaq I mentioned your shell here:

https://github.com/oilshell/oil/wiki/ExternalResources

If there is a better summary, let me know, or feel free to edit the wiki page yourself. (I think it should be editable.)

I've been in contact with the authors of the oh shell, NGS shell, and mash shell, and exchanged some interesting ideas. The design of the oil language should be more concrete in 2-3 months and I'm hoping to get feedback from others who have thought about this space. I might ping you then :)

Are the elvish structured data pipelines actually separate processes, or are they goroutines? Is there a format for piping them over say SSH? I have been thinking about this a little bit for oil.
1) If you cannot get a plain reference you cannot get dangling references.
2) Use data structures that keep iterators valid and modern reference counted internals. (so that when you have an iterator, you have the object) Alternatively copy on write semantics.
3) Use after move is relatively tricky if you want more. However, your allocator or data structure can catch it with specific implementation of move operators. Use after free can be reduced to use after move or caught with right delete/new operators.
4) Instead, you may have an API where you have your own high level reference-like type. There is a cost to it, same as in Rust.
5) What you cannot do is enforce people to use it always.

The courts have historically been unlikely to see a Constitutionally-required affirmative permission in the fact that an additional restriction is not applied by Congress.

The fact that Congress has specifically granted permission under the Emoluments Clause to Presidents, at the latter's request, while the conflict statute was in effect wouldbsuggest stronglynthat neither past Presidents, nor, more importantly, the Congress has viewed the non-application of the conflict statute to the President as a grant of permission under the Emoluments Clause that makes more specific grants unnecessary.

OTOH, absent coverage under the conflict statute or some other statute establishing judicial remedies, there may an argument that there is no such remedy for a Presidential violation of the clause, and that the only remedy is via impeachment. That's probably the biggest weakness in an Emoluments Clause lawsuit.

On the gripping hand, a court ruling to the effect that the only remedy is by impeachment may create additional political pressure on Congress, which would probably have value to those bringing the claim, perhaps moreso than a judicial remedy that, e.g., forced Trump to give up past gains and avoid future gains through divestment.
> I predict: tons and tons of PR snafus, but nothing illegal.

I predict something illegal

> If the Dems thought they could 'get him' on his ownership of whatever, they would have been pressing it already.

Impeachment is sort of a legal process but it's really political, while Republicans control congress and he hasn't sunk with the base impeachment won't happen.

Not for no reason. You are being downvoted because you apparently don't understand what a conflict of interest is, and yet have the audacity to suggest that the criticisms towards Trump are "crazy".
How does one downvote a comment on HN? I thought maybe there was some reputation or age requirement, but I've been here a while now & I still don't see any option to downvote comments.
This is a really bad/misinformed article that says to use a VPN against shitty applications requesting every possible permission on earth and exfiltrating all of the collected data.

I love eating roasted chestnuts as a snack. This might be part of the reason why I find chestnuts to be so expensive when compared to back home (spain).

Seriously, try to get some chestnuts and roast them (oven or microwave) with some salt. They are delicious, especially during the cold months.

> The lawsuit asks the court to declare that Trump is in violation of the emoluments clause. Even if he is, though, it would be up to Congress to decide whether that merits impeaching him and removing him from office — and Republicans in Congress so far have been reluctant to look into Trump’s break with tradition on ethical issues.

Good news! this article understates the current stage of development for at least one of the reintroduction projects.

A blight resistance gene (oxalate oxidase) has been added by state university researchers in new york. The genetically modified trees are being crossed with pure-bred chestnuts for improved genetic diversity before wider distribution.
http://www.esf.edu/chestnut/

The plan is to distribute seeds from these trees within 5 years through a partnership between SUNY-ESF and the NY chapter of The American Chestnut Foundation.

I've committed to planting at least 4500 of these trees (interspersed across 60+ acres) in their native forest setting once available. If you care about the chestnut or ecology but agroforestry isn't your thing, these organizations could really use donations to ensure this project continues.
You can, but it is an extreme pain to do it, especially for any nontrivial data structure. That is because even if the arena is safe enough, say with copy on write semantics, you cannot specify that for the borrow checker easily (or at all)

You cannot implement many data structures in a decent performance way without unsafe, so Rust guarantee is weak.
I like the answer yumaikas gave. I would say that the shell IS what you're saying: a REPL for a programming language. But it is a weird programming language.

The language has evolved with compatibility since the original release in 1971, before it had loops, conditionals, or functions. That's before yacc and probably before some common parsing algorithms were even invented. It is a proper programming language by now, but it just feels old and crufty.

I think it needs a few more OS bindings as well. The "test -f / -d" stuff is a little impoverished.
Consider just using the first paragraph as the summary.

For the sort of thing on HN, it'll be spot on more times than not.
Good point. Of course, it's still total B.S. since they just made the claim up.

On the other hand he spent the whole press conference talking about metro ridership, the national parks service, and the physical event, which leads me to think in context that they weren't talking about tv. Never even mentioned the word tv actually.
Yes

Pence is at least a sane conservative theocrat

Trump is a lying corrupt racist who is extremely unpredictable and may or may not blow up markets, start wars, abandon our allies, or deport millions of people
Just because you disagree with someone, it does not mean that they are wrong, or that they are Russian propaganda. You have otherwise shown no basis for your disagreement with the facts outlined in the data you were given than that. I gave you the opportunity to contribute something more and instead you cemented your position this position that you've "already made up your mind."
There's also a difference between being wrong about opinions (like statements about the future) and being wrong about things that are factual while making a claim that presents itself as a factual assertion. While the nature of what he's wrong about is banal, it represents an extremely dangerous disregard for facts. That he would make up facts out of whole cloth (or fully believe such a poorly done study because it suits his ego) should be extremely worrying to everyone. You knock Obama for his miscalculations, but if Trump's belief formation process is so defective when it comes to the banal, false beliefs are guaranteed to plague his decision making when it really counts.
In all honesty, I prefer having rules that have no special-case 'unless' issues. It's too much effort/trouble to remember all the cases where things don't work. I'm a good engineer but a terrible compiler.

I believe part of learning a new library/framework/language is to limit yourself to a certain subset of the API offered. After working with Ruby (the language) and Javascript (the ecosystem), I feel like that's the only way to preserve your sanity and productivity. I don't need to know 4 different ways of creating a lambda in Ruby, selecting 1 that can express the other 4 is good enough.

---

In this case, the rule would be no ternary operators, since they work well unless you nest them or unless you make them long/complicated.

Other examples -

You don't need to wrap if conditions unless you have a multi-line body:

if (myCondition)
x = 42;
y = 23;

Early returns simplify short circuiting logic unless your function becomes too long:

if (myVariableAtBeginningOfFunction) {
return true;
}
...
// 2 screens later
...
if (x == 42) {
return false; // why am I not getting false?!
}

Using a variable as a conditional in javascript to test against undefined works well unless the value can be falsy:

if (person.isStudent) {
showSchool();
}

if (person.age) {
showBirthCertificate(); // what if age is 0?
}

The sheer bravery of the first men to sign up to go to the moon is outstanding. I remember listening to an interview where Buzz Aldrin said he estimated that there was a 60% chance of going to the moon and coming back home alive. He still decided to do it.

They even wrote a speech for Nixon in case Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin got stranded on the moon:

Fate has ordained that the men who went to the moon to
explore in peace will stay on the moon to rest in peace.

These brave men, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, know that
there is no hope for their recovery. But they also know that
there is hope for mankind in their sacrifice.

These two men are laying down their lives in mankind’s most
noble goal: the search for truth and understanding.

Cities have more balanced budgets because they produce value, so they actually have something to tax.

Residential-only suburbs were built with free money to create the road network, but produce no value, so they're running on loans but can't actually pay for anything. That's why many of had to start using speed traps for income.

Thanks a lot! I'm hoping to set things up for contributions in the next couple months.

I'm want to publish the test matrix and get some help because filling out the corners takes a lot of time. The general architecture is pretty sound though -- I hit all the "major areas" of shell, although I may need to make another pass at globbing.

If you are adventurous you should be able to clone it, follow the instructions for ./pybuild.sh. Then ./spec.sh install-shells, and then run './spec.sh smoke'. That test should pass, but there are like 15-20 other categories in spec.sh in various states of disarray!

Of course this is in Python, but to me it makes sense to fill out a sketch before porting it to C++ (only the runtime; I'm hoping to bootstrap the parsers in oil itself). Not sure if that will inhibit or help contribution.

Deploying with Git. Simple and Effective
Something maybe forgotten from 40 years ago in the Santa Clara Valley. For 6 months in 1974-75 Santa Clara country ran a dial a ride service[1]. What I remember was small buses and taxi's that provided door to door service. Call for a ride and a small bus would show up at your doorstep and drop you off where you wanted to go, not half a mile from where wanted to go. And travel times were generally fast.

I have a vague memory that people that used it really liked it. And it failed because it was too popular for the resources available. One could also imagine 1974 dispatch and routing technology wasn't up for it either.

This is a link to the program. Appears there is a post mortem written in 1981. Probably a good read.

https://trid.trb.org/view.aspx?id=52882

Had a recent thought that a problem with SF Muni is it would work better with smaller more numerous buses. Fews passengers means longer distance between stops, faster travel times. The problem of course being, more drivers.

Autonomous buses solves that and congestion issues, which single rider autonomous cars do not solve.

[1] There are limited dial a ride services for old and disabled people.
The 20 richest countries[1] in the world are already below replacement total fertility rate. Most of the top 50 are. And even now, in a rich country like the US, about half of pregnancies are unplanned. Birth rates would drop a lot if pregnancies were only possible when both partners consciously opt in.

Obviously the replacement fertility rate is going to be a lot lower in a society where people can live as long as they please and most choose centuries of life. But the Culture is also vastly wealthier than any real-life low-fertility nation. There's perfect birth control for both sexes and a general absence of destructive impulses among biological Culture citizens (due either to selection pressures or editing). I'd guess that the Minds don't need to nudge much if at all.

Having advanced that argument, I wonder if there is any consistent relationship between material prosperity and fertility. Would a weakly post-scarcity society[2] have higher or lower fertility rates than rich nations do today? There'd be none of the security-in-old-age pressures that drive high fertility in poor nations, but also none of the economic penalties to child rearing that discourage high fertility among the educated middle class in current developed economies.

[1] Ranked by nominal GDP per capita.

[2] A fully robotized productive economy, but we can't just gin up atoms and energy like in the fictional Culture. Also no FTL or teleportation. Real physics only. It's the Silver Plan of post-scarcity, as compared to the Culture's Unobtainium Plan.

> I can't believe there are so many people here suggest DJT should totally give up his business. This is basically the same as saying no business person should run for the president,

Being president of the USA is a big deal, he needs to be willing to set aside his pride and company. Sell it for pieces, invest those in a blind trust or index stocks. At least the foreign properties he can buy them back afterwards. Even Carter appointed an independent trustee to run his peanut farm.

> so just leave it only to career politicians.

What's with the hate for career politicians, would you hire something out to be programmed by someone who had just taken an introductory python course?

Besides that Trump is worse on corruption, worse on lying, worse on demagoguery then most career politicians. Which is a fairly large accomplishment.

> The hates toward DJT are crazy.
