Not really... Plenty of people were unhappy with Obama. People voted for him thinking that they were going to get entitlements and other "free" stuff. And those people are generally not happy with the only thing happening is they are now required to pay $5,000+ a year for a health insurance plan with a $6,000 deductible. Hard to argue that that is "better than nothing". Even if you are uninsured/self pay, hospitals routinely offer %70 discounts for self pay customers.

People are also generally more and more disgusted with jobs that keep getting sent overseas. Couple that with the large group of the left that has been protesting everything and calling all who oppose as racist, and well Trump started looking pretty good.

How much of the power of sed does it bring?

I feel like other sed expressions might be even more useful in this format. For example:

200i #TODO optimize this

will insert a comment before line 200 and:

s/.*goto.*/cowsay \0/e
T
s%^%//%
s%\n%\0//%g

will take every line that contains a goto and replace it with a commented out cowsay version of itself.
> Ever notice how nobody calls their API “RESTpure”? Instead they call it “RESTful” or “RESTish”.

Isn't that just because RESTful is a play on words?

> For example, most web browsers have limited support for PUT or DELETE.

Really? How? If anything browsers restrict these methods to exactly how they should be used (DELETE can't have postdata but PUT can).

It's true that folks don't use PUT/DELETE much (the alternative works perfectly well though), but to me that's because they're unnecessary complexity, not browser support.

I had the same question a month ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13380076)
So you're allowed to name laws after basic common sense now?
Ask HN: What would you do with six months?
I plan to leave my job and spend the next six months doing interesting things, before graduate school starts, all on a budget of ~10k USD.

Currently this plan includes international travel and intimate time with my reading list. But, really, anything, anywhere is on the table.

What would you do?
I admit that I had forgotten that paragraph. Still, it's one paragraph in a quite lengthy article. The immediate next paragraph begins:

"The visible decline of so many historic city centers is intertwined with these anxieties. Losing the ancient French provincial capital is another blow to Frenchness — tangible evidence of a disappearing way of life that resonates in France in the same way that the hollowing out of main streets did in the United States decades ago."

And from there the article goes on to talk about loss of businesses in city centers, vacancy rates, and malls. The point is protecting France, not against immigrants, but against the change of lifestyle.

So, my "zero" claim was wrong. I still assert that the gist of the article is very much not about immigration, Marine Le Pen, police violence, minorities, or incarcerations.
The approach I've seen is to just draw up a skeleton in place of the actual content.

It's an older video though:

Set a goal of $1 billion yearly profit by 2020. That places the value at PE of 20 PE (2/3rds of Alphabets 29.9) at ~$20 billion, which is ~2 times their current valuation.

Assuming 5% YoY growth in revenue, which is about 2% growth in users combined with a 2% better yield, both of which are imminently doable, the current $2.5B revenue grows to about $3B.

According to their 2016 financial statement, http://files.shareholder.com/downloads/AMDA-2F526X/398748660..., Twitter spent 2.668B in 2016. So that means Twitter needs to cut costs by 20% by 2020 to hit my goal of $1bn profit.

Twitter spent $800 million on each of their three big areas, which they list as "Cost of revenue", "Research and development" and "Sales and marketing". If you can shave off 40% from each of "Research and development" and "Sales and marketing", costs hit $2Billion give or take, and goal achieved.

None of that is silicon valley swing for the moon sexy, and it seems pretty unremarkable in a world of hype and excess. But $3B in revenue and $2bn in costs seems achievable by 2020.

> it's far from inconceivable that PGO could be applied to the intermediate code that web assembly effectively is.

A developer could do some kind of PGO before he produces the final binary, I can imagine that. But then it's still just a static binary.

And I personally can't imagine PGO being done in the user's browser and not being slower than the alternative of not doing it, just like I've never heard of some OS which does PGO on the native binaries when user runs them. Maybe you know of something like that? The PGO I know is always a slow process, done only before shipping the binary to the user, it's a kind of "post-processing" step of compiling, not of the normal execution at the user's computer.
Please tell me these are algorithmic satirical summaries...? And the source is on Github. :)
The article says "most client and server applications don’t support all verbs or response codes" which, in my experience, is not true. There are some but it's definitely not "most". For one, if you're writing both sides, don't build on client or server software that sucks. Sure, HTML forms don't support PUT and DELETE but how often to you use HTML forms instead of ajax requests (which do support those methods)? And, if you subscribe to a little bit of CQRS and Event Sourcing ideas, PUT and DELETE don't really make sense since you should really be POSTing commands to do those things. Where they do make sense is when manipulating files directly which I don't think comes up much these days.
Fine. But that's just buying into one of the very common misconceptions about AWS (or any hosting provider), no? This idea that Amazon sells a fault tolerant product. They don't. Amazon sells you tools that can make a fault tolerant product, but making your own product resilient is entirely upon you.

I don't support the idea that our culture would be better off by sharing more videos of each other when we did not expect we'd be speaking to the entire world.

It's why we don't get to see Trump's or Congress' tax returns without some kind of court case.

If they're forced to do it by law, it will be forced upon you too, and boom, everyone knows all your financials.

We can decide what we want to add to our culture. Secret videos don't need to be part of it.
> Do you honestly believe that Trump and his supporters are representing the "working class"?

Yes, of course. This is tautological. Do Trump's supporters, who are largely working class, represent the working class...yes.

Several states that haven't voted Republican in 30 years voted for him en-masse because of their lack of representation elsewhere. If you're asking if Trump will represent the working class in the future, then my answer is that I don't know, but in his short time he's done what he promised.

If you think that states switched from Democrat to Republican because of trolls then, I'd also suggest that you're out of touch with certain demographics.

“Big data” problem(2016)
It's true the resulting code isn't perfect. But there are design advantages to holding the code in your head that make up for sloppiness at least that was my observation. A code review for error checking is certainly advisable and good practice to boot!
The proposed way forward appears to be just discarding all of the common, reusable, standard forms we have started to build with HTTP.

JSON-Pure is not much more than an encoding. RESTful is an entire protocol.
We are not currently releasing any code, but hopefully the paper on arxiv is enough to make it easy to reproduce the result.

We use TensorFlow for writing and training the model and c++ with a lot of hand optimizations for inference, with assembly kernels written with PeachPy (which is an awesome piece of software!)
> The privacy problem at its core is a political one, and it needs a political solution.

I'm with you --- my views are pretty much in agreement this, and with Schneier in Data and Goliath.

However, while legislation and regulation are the only things that will prevent us from full-blown monopolistic dystopia, there are meaningful ways in which technologists can make privacy preserving behaviors easier to adopt on a wide scale.

The most obvious example of this is Signal. It wasn't brought about because the government said it had to be built (though they did end up funding it), and not only has it significantly advanced the privacy of instant messaging for millions of people, and moved the Overton window on expectations of encryption, it provided a new open standard (and FOSS reference implementation) for other messaging services to adopt.
I was trying to be snarky with that comment. Ha
This article, gee... :-) it was obviously written by Occitan activists.

One hint: nobody spoke 'Occitan', that's a modern artificial construction, based on a unification spread after the languages were already dying (such artificial unifications can work, like in the case of Basque, but this one never took off). The languages were different from an area to another even though they shared a large common root, and even different from a valley from another at my place, where communication is difficult for geographical reasons. So just imagine the differences across the supposed 'Occitan' area that occupies half of France, on areas that were not under the same rule and had no peculiar communication! I remember the reaction of my old uncle from the center of France, the day some of those activists told him he was an Occitan speaker: "what the heck is that? We never spoke it. So now we are supposed we were speaking Occitan? Like the people from the South? First news!" What's funny is that most Occitan activists I met are not true speakers: they learned it as a foreign language, if I may say so, and it shows! they have a terrible French accent when they speak, and they use typical French turns of phrase (as when I speak and write English :-) ).
Yes, implemented in Rust.
I gave up on DMOZ when I repeatedly tried to volunteer to manage categories (that I happened to be a reasonably recognizable expert on), because they weren't being actively maintained, and it took months to get replies, if ever a reply arrived, at all.

That was many years ago, when it still had some relevancy to search engines. But, even then, it was a zombie. There were some outposts of activity, but it just wasn't a priority after all those acquisitions, and nobody felt enough ownership to maintain it. I don't know anything about the insider decisions or how it was managed or whatever, I just know that when I was enthusiastic about helping, I was ignored. I'd pretty much forgotten all about it and assumed it died years ago.

I like the idea, and I wish there were a good public data set like it. But, I guess since no one figured out how to make money with it, no one cared to make it work.
There is a third reason. I have always had cable till last year. Then I moved and went through the experience of getting cable from a big cable provider. I wanted them to give my money (typically around $75/month). But it ended with series of very frustrated phone calls and me deciding that sacrificing sports and news is well worth not having to deal with that company.

On a related note, we built a bot that recommends an event based on your tweet+profile. The amount of times we got banned what could be a useful service is off the charts. Twitter needs to engage more with devs rather than block them whenever they can.

>Sure, one could be opposed to extending the legal definition of marriage based on small-government principles, but then consistency would also demand that one be opposed to legal recognition of marriage at all.

No, consistency wouldn't demand that. Small government people are not automatically "no government" people. I'm saying it's natural for them to be skeptical of the expansion of services to cover new arrangements. That's government growth; small government people are likely to take a default dubious position for almost all forms of government growth/expansion, but that doesn't mean they have to oppose every function the government currently performs. That'd make them anarchists, not conservatives.

So when someone says "I want to expand a government-granted status to a new thing", the natural small government reaction is "You better have a very compelling case, because we hate the words 'expand a government-granted status'".

Going beyond this, we get into an argument on the details of same-sex marriage, and this is neither the time nor the place for that, but the point is that it is conventional for a small government proponent to view proposals to expand a longstanding legal tradition with suspicion, without necessarily requiring them to be hostile to that legal tradition as it stands. Pretending like this doesn't make sense is creating a false dichotomy. The choice doesn't have to be between "same-sex marriage" or "no marriage" to be internally consistent.
Why Some Cars Have Gas Tank Fillers on the Left or the Right
I've heard this argument often, what behavior are people referring to when they talk about these advantages?

Is this just referring to using semantically correct HTTP status codes for things like caching, or is there more to it that I'm missing?

edit: And also, and perhaps most important, what about REST makes it easier to take advantage of the transport layer's advantages?

From what I have looked into, it breaks down with observed things on the fringes, aka black holes and supercluster type stuff.

This is the "silver bullet" if you will for a lot of these theories:

It would be great if "just" modifying the equations works. But it has an uphill climb against observed data.

I'm not going to claim to be a connoisseur of literature, so perhaps I've just overlooked the greatness. The point I was trying to make is that the book takes a great many pages to advance the plot relatively little. If you're familiar with the musical adaptation and are expecting a more plot-driven novel, you probably won't find that the book meets those expectations. I have not seen any of the movie adaptations, and cannot comment on them; on the basis of your recommendation, I probably will not.

As I recall, structurally, the novel is somewhat like The Grapes of Wrath, with expository sections interspersed with sections that directly advance the plot. I quite liked that about the Grapes of Wrath. I'm not sure if I take issue with the exposition/advancement ratio in Les Miserable, or if I feel less of a connection with the period Les Miserables is set in.

For children or not, I certainly won't hold The Princess Bride up as example of greatness. I would claim that the fact that it works as a send-up of a genre, including the alleged abridgement, is illustrative of something.

The distinction is game theoretical. The fact this is a process that has no exception sets the standard and doesn't allow more "costly" bugs to be ignored knowing that they will continue to embargo anyway.

This process and the costly signal associated ensures better behaviour from vendors in the long run.

GC integration is on the roadmap for WebAssembly, as I understand it. At the moment languages can bring their own GC implementations written in WebAssembly, but eventually they should be able to hook into and take advantage of the browser's native GC facilities.
