As someone who just wants a modern React-based replacement for Leaflet -- just a tile (vector would also be nice) renderer, and not the appbase.io (not familiar) stuff, not any of the filtering or querying -- can this be used standalone?

Something like that would require a rich set of objects to be arranged declaratively based on the visible bounds, such as labels, icons, lines, polygons, etc.
There are reasons for all these, the first two are both to optimize for VCS changes, since adding something to your first to examples would now only generate a minimum diff[0]. That, and considering Elms roots in Haskell, this is the common style for things there.

The last one is because all html in Elm are just regular Elm functions. This means no special syntax to manipulate html, and you have the power of all of Elm at your fingertips, without shoehorning it into a new syntax. [1]

> it's not up to "the U.S." to make such a decision; but to the current so-called administration.

There is nothing "so-called" about the administration; it is the legitimate executive branch of the U.S., like it or not.

The people of the U.S. democratically chose this president and are responsible for what happens. Just like any group or team, a person can't disclaim responsibility because they were outvoted. More importantly, democracy doesn't occur only on election day; it's not a king or dictator that is elected for 4 years. The American people are responsible for all that happens and if they think it's problematic, there is plenty they can do about it right now.
I've been around computers since the early 80's, and I think about how lucky I am to have amazing internet pretty much every day. Not to mention the supercomputers we have in our pockets now. I remember watching my first "streaming video": ascii animations on a 110 baud dialup connection - that's a blazing 110 bits per second. And it was awesome! ;)

Sometimes I use my internets to virtually travel to places I've never been and read as much about life there as I can... That usually makes me feel extra lucky about the internet access I have. Same with reading about Nji!

Amy Goodman pointed out that the cable news channels broadcast more minutes of empty podium before Trump's speeches than they showed of Bernie's speeches total.

Bernie started out with virtually no name recognition, no money, no organization, no establishment support, a nearly complete media blackout on his campaign and went on to win 22 states and receive more votes than Trump received in the primary, against the most well-funded presidential campaign in history.

It should be blindingly obvious to everyone that something real was happening there and the Democrats just threw it all away because it was "Hillary's turn" and besides, the election's in the bag, innit it?

Apart from that, Rust needs very little per-architecture glue code. And someone needs to run the Rust testsuite on the resulting version of Rust and make sure it passes.

Wouldn't it be more unixy to run a caching DNS resolver such as nscd locally on the machine, instead of building it into every app? (I would accept an answer such as "there's no caching resolver out there that properly handles thundering herd situations".)
From the blog post, it sounds like the problem is that Rust doesn't use standard LLVM, they maintain a separate branch with a bunch of patches that are specific to Rust. So, adding AVR support to Rust means adding AVR support to Rust's branch of LLVM, which is a hassle. Rust is about to move to a newer version of LLVM, though, so when that happens they'll be pulling in the AVR support that's already in mainline LLVM.
> In a compile-to-JS language it's hopefully possible to make trailing commas legal. They've been legal in JavaScript itself for a long time

Well, Elm is not trying to be JS, it's trying to be better, and there's really no reason to need trailing commas. I'd even argue that it argue it leaves a message of mixed intent "did the author want to continue the list?" and needlessly enables duplicate styles for the same one thing.

Hold on a second, even given that global warming exists, there is no way this warm period is caused by global warming because you can't equate local weather to general climate.

The DNC also seems almost in a stalemate due to this cancer - under the survival pressure they evolved into a fundraising outfit beholden to big money, and they have not rallied at all post election defeat.

They don't seem to understand they can represent Dems and get funded in $27 increments... and win over large swathes of young supporters if they just change their mindset.

Not to diagnose your friend, but more as a general note: that kind of perspective sounds (from my admittedly unqualified perspective) much more typical of people on the autism spectrum or certain other non-neurotypicals than it does of "smart people" in general. It might be worth noting that there's some (mostly-anecdotal) indications that tech, particularly programming itself, may have higher incidence of people on the spectrum than other fields.
Exactly. I can't even fathom this level of intellect.

Edit: If anyone is interested in the topic of Hungarian scientists in the twentieth century, I can highly recommend the book The Voice of the Martians[1]. It can be a bit dry at times but it is incredibly interesting nonetheless. American scientists jokingly referred to their Hungarian colleagues as Martians due to their other worldly intelligence and their accents that no one could understand.

I am a bit puzzled about the scalability of listen/notify in Postgres and its use in the article. Each "listener" in the code requires a connection in the database so it's not a good design to have one listen "query" for each user. You will probably need a dedicated connection in a thread (or a limited number of connections) for the database listening functionality. You can possibly use some async PG driver but still on the database end I am not sure how efficient and scalable this solution will be.

I can assume that this is a good solution if you don't have (need) a high rate of "notify" statements and a high number of subscribers waiting on "listen". Any comments on these limits of PostgreSQL?
Here's some food for thought:

What type of cancers are you talking about? What subtype? What population are we talking about? What subpopulation? What is the difference between an early diagnostic and prevention? Are CTs and MRIs the right tool for the job? Who is most at risk? How often do you screen your target population? How do you make sure they actually come and do the exams? How do you measure success? Are you ready to deal with the outcomes of the diagnosis?

These are just basic questions really. Some people devote their entire life to these hard topics. The radio host sounded like an "expert" with "great ideas" to an equally clueless audience when really he just has no idea.

I think we will laugh at this "AI threat" in 30 years after yet another long "AI winter". I mean I haven't been convinced of any "AI" displayed. All just seems to be glorified pattern matching with little practical use.
I mean siri and cortana and alexa are all dumb as sh*t. Sure some cars can negotiate some clearly marked streets in nice weather.
I don't think there is an automatic leap from these technologies to more advanced AI that actually would for example enable totally autonomous cars.
Sure there are incremental improvements in robotics etc that helps to raise the efficiency of some operations but then the humans can move on to different jobs and enable other things. Eg. radiology where humans can treat people some AI has marked the scans as "suspect". So better treatment because of "AI", but the doctor still has a job.

Also, manufacturing jobs have _not_ been falling, far from it.
This all seems like a big ruse for globalists to use to lower wages and move jobs to the currently cheapest place, where ever that may be. "It's AI I tells you, luddites!"

That is such a great idea that it's always been part of the H1 visa. New employer just needs to initiate an H1 transfer.

That's kind of my point. To a certain extent you are right that everybody, including scientists, are "clueless". BUT there's a huge difference in attitude between a scientist and Random Joe. That difference is politics. The scientist looks at the data, formulates hypotheses, asks tough questions, etc. Random Joe reads one article and his mind's made up.
Obama had a lot of specifics during his campaign in 2008 and I think he really believed in some of them. And he accomplished some of them. For instance, he did pass a heavily watered down healthcare law, and a heavily watered down financial regulation law. He also implemented a way-too-small stimulus.

He did promise to renegotiate NAFTA though, walked it back almost immediately and then gave us the TPP instead. During his first overseas trip to London he was asked if the Washington Consensus was dead. He dodged the question.

I think he was fundamentally a reactionary in the areas that really matter, and in the areas where people really want hope and change. He appointed Timothy Geithner and Eric Holder and they made sure nobody on Wall Street was ever held accountable.

At one point he told Wall Street executives that he was the only thing between them and the pitchforks. Well he's gone now, planning to follow Bill Clinton onto the lecture circuit no doubt. And the pitchforks have gotten sharper than ever because fundamentally, where it really counts, nothing has gotten better since 2008.

The US won't easily (at least not on a fishing expedition) give out your information to your government. (And I'm guessing your concern would be hiding money and information from your own government rather than the NSA).

He was an excellent campaigner. He even won "Marketer of the Year" award http://adage.com/article/moy-2008/obama-wins-ad-age-s-market... that usually goes to Apple, Coke, Nike and so on.

I would say vis-a-vis the Hope and Change enthusiasm and excitement a lot of people (myself included) were left with a "meh..." kind of feeling.

> This is the kind of cross-party criticism that Obama got...

More interestingly is to think what has he done for the Black community? Are inner cities a lot safer, are more jobs and housing available, more opportunities? These are people that pretty much voted as a block for him.

Then the whole Nobel Peace Prize thing, and just last year he dropped over 20k bombs on various countries around the world. Syria, ISIS happened on his watch and it seems he wasn't able to do much about it. The whole "crossing the red line...". He did kill Osama, but is that enough for a counter-balance the other stuff, not really...

Wow thanks for posting this link. I was wondering does anyone know more channels (or any other resource) just like this one, for Statistics and Calculus?
LLVM isn't completely platform independent (e.g. all integers are fixed-width, so the frontend needs to know the pointer size to emit pointer-sized integers) and there are some configuration options to be passed down to LLVM/the linker.

Additionally, it is useful for the front-end to understand things like the layout of types, and the standard library usually also needs changes to paper over any platform differences (although I imagine AVR doesn't need many, mostly in the compiler-support library compiler-rt, given not much of the standard library will work).

> I don't have an article on hand, but even Democrats criticized Obama for having trouble forming cross-party friendships in a way someone like Bill Clinton did not.

Those Democrats are, in a word, idiots. Or, they are Clinton loyalists that assume their audience is composed of idiots.

(1) Bill Clinton had already been long in politics and established those cross-party relationships before the hyperpartisanship on the right which blossomed during his Presidency made that impractical.

(2) The ACA was a massive compromise because of the epic failure the last time Democrats tried to do healthcare reform—under Bill Clinton and led by Hillary Clinton—at a time when there was majority public support in public polling for national single payer, and the Clintons were not only unable to get their "cross party friendships" to pay off, but also unable to pass anything despite the Democratic majority they had. This left Democrats across the board scared and looking for compromises to get something on healthcare, which is why three Democrats (Clinton, Obama, and Edwards) went into the 2008 primary with nearly identical health care plans that were all very close to Romneycarr, which itself was virtually identical to what a number of insurers and Republicans proposed as a national alternative after the failure of Clinton's healthcare reform.

(3) Obama, with party control of Congress in his time in office following the same general pattern as Clinton's, achieved far more in terms of Democratic policy priorities than Clinton, and also didn't manage to get impeached by the House of Representatives. Clinton's cross-party friendships didn't pay any dividends.

If Obama is a better campaigner that "politician" (at least as far as the latter concerns effectively leveraging the office and personal relationships for legislative success), than that criticism is even more applicable to Clinton, who kept rolling over for the Right and getting nothing (or less) in return.

> How the hell do we get the money out of politics and the democracy back in ?

Don't take this negatively, but you lost your argument when you said "get funded in $27 increments." You are already going back to money.

Crowdfunding / crowd donation works really well when people are running for major elections like the Presidential election or the governor race. When it comes to your own district's representative, you can't find hundreds to fund them through crowd funding. You just can't for every representative. Maybe for NYC, but what about that rural area in Maine? You need to rely on big donators and getting money from your party. Where does your party money come from? Membership and donations. You don't actually need to go to the big corps because the people who are the most likely to donate to you are the locals, business owners who held prestige roles and titles in the community/district. They won't donate 1M but they will donate 10K, 20K by getting their uncles and aunts to send you checks.

Actually, little do some people know, Dem and GOP each has a building in D.C. where Congressmen and Congresswomen would sit in a designated cubicle cold calling voters. That's the worst kind of job one can get.

Also, don't ignore the older folks. Not every non-20-ish years old men and women voters voted Trump, there were plenty sided with Bernie Sanders, just to be fair and respectful.
Is the practice of shoving all disparate pieces of proprietary software (or individual projects) in the same repo a common occurrence? I have found that pulling unrelated changes just so that I can push my changes is an inconvenience. Furthermore, tracking the history of a particular project is confounded due to unrelated commits. I am sure that their vcs (piper?) makes this a feasible task, but for git, it seems like it would suck.

The article posted by kyrra, mentions this.

Given the value gained from the existing tools Google has built and the many advantages of the monolithic codebase structure, it is clear that moving to more and smaller repositories would not make sense for Google's main repository. The alternative of moving to Git or any other DVCS that would require repository splitting is not compelling for Google.

It seems like they have just too much invested in this "shove it in the same repo" style. Or is this the more appropriate way to do things in a large organization?
