I asked my student why he voted for Trump. The answer was smart and terrifying
Maybe you have trouble understanding that pervasive notion because you misunderstand what people are saying?

Neither I nor the person I replied to said or implied that all Trump supporters are, well, anything. The other fellow talked about "lots of Trump supporters" (which could easily refer to just a few percent of the total) and that's the group I referred to in my reply.

I don't understand the pervasive notion that if you talk bad about any set of Trump supporters, you're somehow painting 63 million people with the same brush.

No Republican was duped. He's doing exactly what he said he was going to do. Temporary ban on immigration, build a wall, take an axe to the bloated federal government, can the TPP, next week we should get our first conservative supreme court nominee.

Any type of hegemony will have awkward repercussions and collateral damage;
I was a little skeptical because the veracity of this is iffy, at least amongst the designers I know:

> Look at graphic designers, for example. If you’ve ever watched a graphic designer work, most of the backgrounds, icons and badges they use come from stock websites

> An efficient designer will normally buy a funnel diagram template rather than make one from scratch. For $5, why reinvent the wheel?

That being said, the general advice is solid. I'd add two more pieces:

1. Three-sentence drafts are your friend. When you think of something that might make an interesting blog topic down the line, write three sentences about it and let it germinate for a bit. (I've found Trello to be great for this, since you can easily add notes and links.)

2. Blog your email. (This advice is stolen blatantly from patio11.) Especially if you're writing to do content marketing, surfacing customer support + answers to interesting questions is a great way to get a jump start.
They're 18. What do you want? What authentic motivation did you have when you were 18?

Seriously. My thoughts exactly. There are obviously some 18-year-old college students who know exactly what they want (some of them are replying), but even many of those will change their minds. When I was 18 I had no idea what I wanted to do (except perhaps get laid), but it was clear that college was "the next step."

On a tangential note, this thread reminds me of writing admissions essays. "Why do you want to come to this school / program?" You can never say the obvious: "Cause it's the most prestigious (or cost-effective) school I think I might get into."
> move semantics

Move semantics have been great, in my experience (enabling things like unique_ptr). What is causing issues here?
As a former IT support guy, I can't explain how much revenue Norton would generate from me. They would regularly push updates that wiped all the critical software from customer's systems. The software was often obscure products from small vendors. Even in a small office, it was an easy day's work for me that I would not have had otherwise.

After multiple episodes of this, it dawned on me that I shouldn't be able to reinstall the software if Norton truly was removing it. The issue was that Norton's products did indeed remove it as part of an antivirus "update", but they quickly released another "update" that got rid of the problem. I turned off something labeled "pulse" updates and set it to daily instead. Not only did I never see this problem again, the PC's generally had better performance.

If this had been my experience, then I probably would have been fine with not charging.

To elaborate on my personal experiences.

It was never about making money, but always about smoothly severing ties. In my first experience both I and my new employer were frustrated as I was receiving calls every week for more than six months. The old company and the new company were different, but they had close ties which is the only reason my new job tolerated that I was spending hours they were paying for on someone else for free. When it was still going on for six months I was advised by my current boss to advise them I would have to charge to continue to support them, and see what happened. At that point they said they understood and would discuss it with their superiours. It turned out that with money as a motivating factor they finally were able to get by without me.

With another employer I knew that a standard two week notice for them wasn't long enough as I was their lone sys admin, but anything longer would not have been ok for my new employer who had just lost a key employee on a major project and needed someone that could step in ASAP and hit the ground running. In that case I offerered that I could help out in the evenings or weekends for a reasonable hourly rate that was still above my normal hourly rate. They were glad to have that offer there and said they would only call me if they absolutely had to. I never heard a word from them until I got a call that their Exchange server (which I had repeatedly advised them for more than a year needed to be replaced, but they were too cheap to do so) had crashed and they urgently needed help. I came in on a Friday night after getting off work and then I worked straight through the weekend to setup a new server and recover all of the lost data. They were more than glad to pay.

With another employer I was the leadon a mission criticial financial system I gave them a longer than usual notice when I was leaving to give them extra time to prepare for my departure. Then I spent my last month doing nothing but trying to make sure everyone knew what was needed before I left. I gave them the same option, for a fee they were welcome to call me whenever they needed. Almost six months went by and I didn't hear from them, then I got a call when they realized no one knew how to handle their end of year cutover. I walked them through it in an hour long call. They were very happy to have the help and would have paid; I told them not to worry about it since it was only an hour and they hadn't been pestering me in the past, but that if I got a call next year about the same issue I would have to bill them for it. No bridges were burned there; they were happy and occassionally I have run in to some of the higher ups and they always tell me how they would love for me to come back if I ever decide I need a change.
This isn't fixed, it just isn't as bad as it used to be.

When they had apps spotify would spin at ~90% of one core for me. When they had just musixmatch, spotify would switch between 30% and 60%. Now it decides to randomly run at 90% for about ten seconds every few songs.

A workaround:

cat ~/bin/music
#!/bin/bash

error() {
echo "[Error] $@" 1>&2
}

if [ -z "$(which cpulimit 2>/dev/null)" ]; then
error "Missing package cpulimit"
exit 1
fi

if [ -z "$(which spotify 2>/dev/null)" ]; then
error "Missing package spotify"
exit 2
fi

if test -t 1; then
exec 1>/dev/null
fi

if test -t 2; then
exec 2>/dev/null
fi

launch() {
cpulimit -l 30 spotify
}

launch &

And I see no degradation in performance. This is severely low quality software engineering.

The hot 10mm rounds are usually reserved for subs like the MP5/10 or special units. Grunts would get regular loads similar in every manner to a 40cal.

I'm pretty sure Spencer got punched in the face because he's a Nazi.

As for the rest of it, it's a little hilarious to act like the non violent protests aren't the majority of activity. Just the Women's marches (which aren't just about Trump but are obviously responsive to his presidency) were more in number, both location wise and participation wise, than any violent actions that have happened. If you want to limit it to immigration protests, the non violent protests yesterday had higher participation than the totality of anti-Trump violence (http://dcist.com/2017/01/theres_a_rally_planned_at_white_hou... ).

Imagine if, when Obama was first running, we found an old recording from the 90's of him saying "Yeah, man, fuck the police. I can't stand white people." then while halfheartedly apologizing he stressed that it was just "street talk."

That Obama never did anything like that is a big reason for him being preferable to Trump.

Whatever else this comment might be, it is certainly wildly off topic for the thread. Please don't catalyze sprawling off-topic subthreads on stories.
Yeah, but despite the provenance of the quote, it's very hard to square with how the real world has evolved since Orwell wrote that can make a stronger case for the idea that a government pretty much has to keep its population a certain degree of comfortable or it's going to get overthrown than I can for them deliberately keeping them in poverty.

The other problem with it is that the elite of a given culture draw their eliteness from the wealth of the culture itself. The elite of the US and the EU draw their outsized influence from the fact that they are the elite of a wealthy, powerful culture. If they set about making their cultures deliberately poorer, they are cutting their own influence off by destroying the things they're being the elite of. The elite of China aren't just trying to make their own countrymen relatively wealthier for its own sake (though that probably has an impact), it is also because it raises their own power in the rest of the world.

I don't think he was correct about this. I think he just had a couple points from very early in the modern era, and drew the wrong extrapolation through them because they weren't representative. He was very intelligent, but having bad data is hard to overcome.
Isn't the main reason that they become 'obsolete' is because their cost to run (pretty much just electricity and per unit cost of the miners themselves) exceeds the expected pay out (their relative hash rate). So by running where electricity is much cheaper older machines that have been discarded can still make sense to run.

Don't worry Doc, your job is safe. Machines replacing high-touch specialized professions like doctors is not the risk here. The bigger immediate risk may be from machines making these jobs much much shittier, and then there's fallout. You won't get fired, but you may want to quit.

MDs are not factory workers. First you have the AMA protecting you. Second, there appears to be a very strong preference by humans for medical care to involve another human being there providing the care - in person.

There are other professions where machines are already much better than humans and the need for humans to even be there in person is debatable. Airline pilots for example. Of course, while a computer can fly a plane better than a human and planes can be flown remotely, it will take much longer for passengers to accept the idea and get on a plane without a human pilot in the cockpit.

The effect of machines for pilots already highlights risks to come. Humans still need to be there in person, but they almost never need to do anything but sit there. The job is to be a warm body and tell people to look out the window while they fly over the Rockies (seriously, take off to landing no human is really needed to fly anymore - pilots do nothing 95% of the time).

How did machines taking over the cockpit affect how the pay, benefits, competency and job satisfaction of pilots took a nosedive? Did you see the movie "Sully"? Where a human did step in over the machine, he almost got crucified even though it was the right move he only just barely was able to convince others of it.

Is it possible machines won't replace doctors very soon but could soon start to lead to lower pay, less trust, less prestige (here come the nurse practitioners at least), less need to use your brains at work and less meaningful interaction with patients...? And when a machine can't do something in those rare cases, will the doctor be ready for that? Think the best and brightest still will want to do this? Doctors already are not fans of that thing where patients come in having looked up their symptoms online, well they are about to do that 10x and be more right than you.

Total guess here: how likely is it that we see the best and brightest increasingly go into medical research instead of practice medicine? As the corporate pharma kickbacks you guys get can't make up for the low pay and shitty shit job conditions machines have created for doctors, while nurses and B-team quality doctors take over the actual physician working with patients stuff?

Your conclusion does not logically follow. Sure, some people may not be "the best", but that does not mean that an entire group of people (your "bad inner cities and Trump-voting rust belt regions") can be grouped into best or not-best. There will be a ranking of people (based on any criteria) in any region.
A few years ago, PostgreSQL added a feature where if (1) you ran a query (and there was no "order by" clause); and (2) before it finished, you started an identical query, the second query would simply piggyback off of the first -- until the first finished. After the original query finishes, the second query will retrieve any rows it missed.

When they added this optimization, they issued a warning about it, because identical queries without "order by" clauses will return the same results, but without a guarantee of how they're sorted.
Am I the only one wondering if this is extremely dry humour?
