I think you're seeing two pieces of outrage over Trump. The first is the predictable liberal outrage: he's proposing policy that conflicts with what liberals want.

Then there's the anger and fear from what appears to be fascist, authorities tendencies in Trump. That's one reason why a President Pence doesn't scare me (and apparently others who are calling for Trump's impeachment). Sure Pence won't work for liberal interests, but at the same time I don't believe he'll be actively working to gut non-partisan areas such as a free press, due process, a free and fair voting process, etc.
> And honestly, sometimes I don't know if code is too "clever" or the reader is just too "dumb".

There are two problems with this argument. First, brilliance in code is not a property of what linguistic abstractions the code makes use of, but the elegance of the algorithm and engineering. I sincerely doubt that no brilliant code had been written prior to the introduction of your favorite linguistic abstractions. Second, even supposing you're right, what difference does that make? If your code's maintainers are dumb, do you think that you could change this reality by making life harder for them, or is it your job to adapt yourself to the reality of the system you're a part of? When creating something for dumb people to use, is it a sign of good craftsmanship to make it harder for them to work with?
From the start they decided to ship with a standard formatter / linter for example. A standard cross platform build system, optimized for build speed from the start, etc. I think a better word would of been a 'top priority'.
Ask HN: Why not self driving buses?
Was just thinking about this and wondering why there hasn't been more emphasis on self-driving buses.

Traditional Bus Pros:

1. Cheaper than cars (no insurance, repairs, maintenance, etc)

2. You can multi-task on a bus

3. Buses are arguably less stress prone because you don't actually have to drive it.

4. Safer than rail, automobile, foot, or bicycle [1]

5. More environmentally friendly [2]

6. Additional buses reduce traffic and congestion.

Cons of a bus:

1. Inconvenient: you can't go when you want to

2. Security: I guess you could be harmed on a bus.

3. You don't want to deal with certain types of passengers.

It seems self driving buses would fix most of the negatives. A self driving bus could be owned by a HOA (home owners association) or community. The bus then could be connected to existing infrastructure such as rail or could just go to the "common areas" that the community/HOA desires.

The autonomous nature of them would also likely necessitate security which would select for more desirable passengers. Or at least desirable behavior.

In addition buses seem to be "simpler" in my view, from a self driving perspective. Buses tend to go to predefined destinations that are well marked or at least fixed. This would result in optimization in self driving techniques to get to specific areas, which would presumably make the route not only more efficient and safe, but less prone to technical error (whether its the implementation or data).
Thanks for giving me a name for this.
In current English, yes, but usage was different in the late 18th century. There's quite a lot of archaic language in the Constitution, which is one cause of the endless arguments about its exact interpretation. (Some of the language was very ambiguous even at the time.)
Na, he just won in a near landslide. Sure Pence could have won too, but he's nowhere as capable as Trump taking on the established false left-right MSM.

He did lose the popular vote, and I'm definitely not a Trump apologist. But however you want to carve it, over 60 million people got out there on election day(-ish) and spent effort to vote for him in a non-compulsory election.

I'm first in line to criticise the primitive Electoral College, the cancerous state of US gerrymandering, and the vapidity of the two-party tribal system, but voter turnout was high. Bush and Gore each got 50M votes in the 2000 election. Obama/McCain was 70M/60M (also: McCain's loss was much greater than Trump's). Clinton/Trump was 65M/62M. Unless Trump's numbers were rapaciously Russian-ified, he still put in a solid showing with voluntary voters.

Trump's appeal was his unorthodox, un-polished dog-whistle politics, and his faithful lapped up his 'tell-it-like-it-is' approach, even if the 'like-it-is' part was fabricated out of whole cloth.
Ah, so the ad hominem of "freshman philosophy" fails, so you try the more fashionable ad hominem of "privilege".

Talking about "dead without Obamacare" is fallacious emotional appeal as well [0]. My entire point is to resist making decisions based on short term concerns being dangled in front of us, especially when the choices come bundled with consequences that just hurt a different group. You can stick your head in the sand and call it "theory", but this rejection of bigger picture analysis only primes the pump by setting up the next "dead without ..." situation.

But hey, "they will only drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". I guess I've been beaten.

Does it? If that's the perception, it seems unwarranted to me.

Edit: I guess the point is that most of the tech products available at home in the 90's were completely absent in the 60's. There were ancient-looking telephones, TVs and radios but no old ancient-looking walkmans, cell phones, PCs, gameboys, VCRs, modems or web sites.

I have been through a few recent interviews and the technical questions seemed like they were from a college exam.

My advice is to see how they operate... Give them a problem, even a vague one, but then solve it together, have them use google to seek out ideas. See how the person approaches it, don't expect a bunch of memorized answers off the top of their head.

The big thing is to see what questions they ask. How will you and the person collaborate in a normal working environment.

The personality and adaptability are far more important than memorizing the exact command line or function call.

I come from the swift world, where a lot of their scala issues resonate with me. The article also mentioned tooling being an issue for them.

I did a spot of research on the emoluments clause and found three instances where specific events were evaluated for breaching this clause:

1 - Theodore Roosevelt. Nobel Peace Prize. He accept both the cash award and the medal.

2 - Barack Obama. Nobel Peace Prize. He accepted only the medal.

... and most interestingly ...

3 - Ronald Reagan. Receipt of pension payments from the state of California as a former Governor and California pension plan participant.

https://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/olc/opinions/198...

The way I read the analysis of Ronald Reagan's situation, any benefit from a domestic state, city, or county could potentially fall afoul of the emoluments clause. Think here of any local property tax rebate from a city to entice a Trump business to build a hotel or set up shop. Maybe even a tax rebate / waiver from prior business development agreement could fall afoul. Who knows how deep this particular rabbit hole could go.

I also was puzzling over Hobby Lobby the other day and I realized that Trump's situation vis-a-vie the emoluments clause could be parallel to Hobby Lobby versus the ACA. Hobby Lobby wanted out of the mandate for birth control and the Supreme Court sided with them because Hobby Lobby was a closely held corporation; close enough where the owners' religious beliefs could be infringed upon by ACA birth control mandates on the corporation they controlled.

I believe the Trump empire is a closely held corporation like Hobby Lobby. Per the Supreme Court a closely held corporation like Hobby Lobby has a personal connection unlike widely held corporation. Simply saying payments made to Trump's corporation is a sufficient separation from the person to avoid the emoluments clause may not be a strong argument for those arguing Trump's side.

Edit: IANAL, but rather a politics major.

I am willing to put money that this is being brought up so no one can set up another clinton foundation again. trumps press conference a while back he spent a considerable amount of time talking about his company and the legalities. he knew what he was talking about and they had spent some time working on it.(then he called cnn fake news). Now all this talk about nobility... This gets ruled on and he is totally inside the rules... but the real message is don't set up "Clinton Global Inititave" as it wound be outside the rules.
Courts interpret the constitution. I'm no lawyer, but "without the consent of the United States Congress" seems very clear-cut to me. It's up to congress, as per the constitution.
The argument that Trump is breaking the emoluments clause by (for instance) having foreign governments paying market rents as tenants in his building is ridiculously thin.

Here's the real trouble with these ridiculously exaggerated criticisms of everything Trump: there's nowhere to go from here. By the time Trump actually does something bad, everyone will be totally immune to the constant wailing, it will be impossible to cut through the noise and say "oh wait, this is actually bad".

It's similar to how we got the Iraq War: the left had been complaining about everything that Bush did from day one, so by the time he had a genuinely bad idea everyone just sorta ignored the criticism of it.

When everybody is Hitler all the time, nobody is Hitler.
Keep in mind that most "unlimited" backup systems have one or more gotchas. Like:
* horribly inefficient clients written in java
* annoying retention policies
* limited compatibility, often no linux
* bandwidth throttling
* IOP throttling etc.
* horrible restore times

However if you skip that an pay as you go you typically get much more control, much more compatibility (including linux), and much better performance. Like say using S3 or Backblaze's B2.
Conflict of interest laws do not apply to US Presidents

That is Trump-level spin. Wow.
How S.F. became the least affordable city in America (2013)
From my (quite far-left) perspective, I would be very okay with that outcome. The Presidency's most unchecked power is in foreign policy, where Trump truly scares me. Pence as President would not change the balance of power in Congress, which is where most of the social and economic decisions (where I really have problems with Pence) would be made.

Putting on my non-partisan hat, though, I am nervous about the precedent of removing a president from office iff it is seen as a partisan move. The removal of Trump without widespread Republican support (as opposed to a small defecting faction) might be seen as precedent for a higher frequency of partisan impeachments - a danger to be weighed against (in my not-very-objective opinion) the dangers of a Trump presidency.
Is it a false dichotomy for me to say: "we can't even fix the economy; I'm skeptical to think we're going to do any serious modifications to our DNA with positive, well directed results that are absent in shocking negative side effects."?

Disclaimer: I know more about the economy to DNA, which is to say, still not very much.
The fact that it is possible for things to be different doesn't imply that they are. Entropically speaking, it's unlikely for two populations to measure up equally by any particular scale. However, that alone doesn't tell us much.

On another note, suppose both groups actually are quite similar in how ideological they are. One would be mistaken to then assume that the two groups have equally effective approaches for conducting affairs. Despite the fact that robustly measuring such effectiveness is currently far outside our grasp.

Coming back to reality, I would guess that both parties are not equally ideological. However, I do think there are very large segments of both that are almost entirely ideological, and that, unfortunately, these subgroups often take most of the limelight.
There are tons of valid reasons why there was less attendance at this inauguration (many listed in the link you posted), which is exactly why it's weird and disgusting that Trump is blatantly lying about having attendance he very clearly didn't have.

It's not that big of a deal, and doesn't mean much that there was less attendance. The weather was bad and it was not historically significant because he's not the first black (or anything significant) president ever. So why is he so blatantly lying? He could just move on and it would be no big deal... but instead he makes a very large deal about it, dedicating a special press briefing specifically to make up lies about to explain how the media got it wrong.
People living below the poverty line seems to be discussing # of people, not their quality of life. Whatever study this is presumably controls for poverty line country-by-country.

We'd still need someone to provide a singular vision and focus. Human nature says you can't just throw money at a group of people and expect that to happen on its own.
If you honestly don't believe the world is unambiguously better now than it was 20-30 years ago, you've been living under a continental plate the entire time. The world has gotten better in almost every way including the rapid fall in poverty rates, more reliable sources of food and medicine, and better access to technology for even the poorest folk. All the problems that seem so overwhelming now like the threat of nuclear war, growing confrontationalism between and within countries, or extreme nationalism were way worse before the 90s (unless, of course, you honestly believe that the United States is the only nation on the planet and you have a nostalgic predilection for the "good ol' days"). Not to mention that the majority of the world has finally recognized and united around solving the single greatest threat to our civilization, a threat that pretty much irreversibly changed our climate by the time we identified it and became completely unavoidable by the 1990s.

If all you're going to do is provide a link to an arbitrary countdown with scary words like "nuclear" and "catastrophe" as your evidence, might as well skip the sciency sounding fluff and just link one of Nostradamus's books. Until then, I'll fondly remember just how priveleged I was growing up in the Soviet Union and reconstruction-era Russia. /s
How to Become a Good Debugger
Indeed. In addition to your points, Orwell has to do with both an overreaching left (thought crime) and right (surveillance state). The government even associates itself with socialism.

That being said, it's not a stretch to imagine that it takes two successive and opposed politicians to set up and orwellian state. Trump would set up the surveillance state (as he threatens to do), and some future authoritative Democrat could outlaw freedom of speech.
Clinton was impeached because Congress was Republican and was trying like heck to pin something, anything, on him. It started with Whitewater and went wherever they could push it after that. Remember, this is when the government shutdowns started.

Trump is a Republican, so the current Republican Congress isn't going to be too picky.
Clinton was impeached for perjury and obstruction of justice, not abuse of power.

Definitely Swift. But:
1) If you plan to develop a SDK/lib compatible with both Obj-C and Swift and don't want to adapt to new Swift changes coming forward
or
2) You absolutely can't stand SourceKit related bugs in XCode happening now and then.

then consider Obj-C.

Would go pretty far to use Swift over Obj-C anyway, so I can deal with both 1) and 2) and still use Swift. It will just get better, so probably best to go Swift sooner than later.
Maybe, but for those of us who aren't experts on constitutional law, it's difficult to ascertain exactly who is in the right, we have to decide which self-proclaimed experts to believe.

For this reason it's helpful to understand the motives of those putting forth a particular argument.

I have a rule, and I think it's a good one. When I hear some political rhetoric I ask myself "if the parties were reversed would this person still be saying the same thing?" If the answer is no, I ignore that person. This cuts out about 97% of all political discussion and saves a lot of time.
That's what makes me think this may mean mass defunding/shutting down of departments. Pruitt is a clear offense to the institution of the EPA. You'd put someone like that over a department and tell that department to "shut up" if it were about to get the axe.

It also isn't lying if the person saying it believes it to be true.
It's not too hard to get a job in the Valley if you're competent - I find it very easy to get an offer at most companies. There are a fraction of companies that try to get too clever and find ways to reject people (one rejection from a startup I got was "relying on modern tools") instead of building a profile of people's capabilities, and then there are the Googles and Facebooks, but most have fairly easy interview processes.

I am currently one level lower than the hiring manager for engineering at my company in Palo Alto, and found that we don't reject candidates for a mistake unless a candidate outright lied or did something unacceptable. We build a profile of the person, and then make a decision as to whether we can fit the person within our org for our needs - if not, then we pass, and if we can, we extend an offer.

I also found it pretty easy to find a job in the DC area in tech after getting experience - the one thing that wasn't competitive there was pay, which is how I landed in the Valley.

Where is Trump actively working to gut free press, due process, and a free and fair voting process? Can you share sources with those claims?
I don't think I'd agree with that. I tend to learn languages by looking at what others have done. Doing something from scratch in a new language with unfamiliar libraries is really hard. Digging into someone else's codebase -- assuming they've done a good job at writing clean code and avoiding being "clever" -- to make small changes is way easier when you're first starting out.
Unfortunately, ternary operators eventually end up like this due to refactoring blindness:
