Check out Perl 6's (or Rakudo's if you prefer) error messages. If they are LTA (Less Than Awesome), it's a bug. Often the Perl 6 Grammar that is parsing my Perl 6 code actually tells me things I didn't notice.... The stuff you need is available, but Perl 6 isn't going to give you an automagic generic error that's any better than "Parse failed at line 5 character 13". You can do that yourself rather easily, and if you want no LTA errors, you'll need to do them yourself.

I'm guessing you don't live in San Francisco, or at least didn't before Uber.

I can recall a number of times waiting on street corners trying to flag a cab for an hour, only to give up and walk home. Calling the taxi company on a busy night was a joke.

At least in this city, transportation was broken. Clean water and draught resistant crops are great in general, but on a personal level I'm still drinking and eating more or less like I was five or ten years ago.
Huh? Are you implying that all employers do this?
That's the point -- the CIA, FBI, and NSA determined with "high confidence" [0] that Russia worked to influence us through (among other outlets) the media -- especially social media. It worked, and because of it our votes weren't free.

> Moscow’s influence campaign followed a Russian messaging strategy that blends covert intelligence operations—such as cyber activity—with overt efforts by Russian Government agencies, state-funded media, third-party intermediaries, and paid social media users or “trolls.”

I just find it crazy that people would be arrested for something so trivial.

How is that even a crime, surely its civil in nature.
Only one side was celebrating racism and genocide. (And, weirdly, tiki torches.)
Regarding the spirit cooking: https://www.conservativereview.com/articles/wtf-is-spirit-co...

So, weird, but not witchcraft. Just the typical sort of performance art that I never understand. And the context of the email is there. Nobody was seeking out a "spirit cooking" experience. Just an invitation from an eccentric artist.
There is a difference between having a bad teacher and not liking something. You always loved math, you didn't like how teachers were teaching you math. I have been a teacher, I know what a difference a teacher can do.
It's really not that great a comment. It's not a bad account of the events, but we have KKK voicing open support for the president and communicating that they feel his actions and policies are a show of support for them. And Trump was slow and seemingly reluctant to denounce them. Yes, damn anybody who brought violence into the picture, but let's not try to obfuscate or down-play that we have white supremacists feeling vindicated and empowered.
Yes, and WikiLeaks has offered a reward for information leading to the arrest of his killers.

Weird coincidence: Seth Rich and at least one of the Awan family hung out at a bar the night prior to hus shooting.
So, doing another simple change to my code brought the runtime down to a few ms. Doing:

time yes | head -n1000000 | perl6 --profile -e 'for $*IN.readchars { .subst("y", "n").print }’ > /dev/null

says it took 86 ms. Which is pretty decent I’d say.
When I originally set up flux, it had the default night time colors way too orange, somewhere like 1900K. This made my eyes strain quite heavily and I had to turn it up to a usable level. Has this been changed/fixed?

I was merely a Kickstarter backer of CastAR and have no insider knowledge, but my guess is that a failed moonshot attempt happened here.

After raising $1 million on Kickstarter, Technical Illusions/CastAR received an investment from Andy Rubin's Playground Global. CastAR later announced that they would refund Kickstarter backers' money and give everyone who backed at a level that would give them a pair of CastAR glasses a voucher for the retail CastAR glasses, whenever they released. Somewhere along the way, CastAR also changed course from "AR glasses tethered to a computer/phone" to "standalone AR glasses." Then they acquired Eat Sleep Play, a game studio in Salt Lake City. Then they went bankrupt.

Instead of releasing a product (even a rough, beta-quality product!) for their Kickstarter backers and iterating from there to a retail-quality product, it seems they took their VC money and went straight for a moonshot standalone product with first-party games available out of the gate. The moonshot was expensive, Playground Global declined to invest further, and here we are.
We taught people that they could control where their data ends up before the internet, because that was an accurate model of reality. I think this is a problem that we'll grow out of as more and more people grow up in the shadow of omnipresent social media.
Grew up a Red Sox fan, watching free games on broadcast TV every week and attending games for less than $10. At one point in the mid-80s bleacher seats were $2.

Left Boston, came back 8 years later, found that you can only watch games on cable and tickets are unbelievably expensive. The Red Sox's new owners want to make a lot of money and hire top talent to make them a winning team. But not all fans can afford to go along for the ride.

Now I have a family. We don't have cable so my son can't watch 95% of games on TV. The one time four of us went to Fenway it was nearly $400 about 15 rows back from the third base line. How can anyone keep that up? He never got a chance to be a fan like I did.

We did play catch and did some batting practice in the park when he was about 8 or 9, but that dropped off as he tried different sports and didn't have the connection with professional baseball. Now, for him, the only sports he watches are football and basketball, and the only sports he plays for fun are basketball, touch football, soccer, and ultimate frisbee.

The "both sides do it" argument misses historical context. As little as 50 years ago, the KKK was still lynching people, and lynched about 4000 African Americans totally according to figures. After they couldn't lynch anymore, the moved on to terrorizing African Americans by burning crosses on people's lawns, and bombing churches. We just ended Jim Crow, an Apartheid system, only a half century ago, and today black people still face intense racism. I see people saying "it's a fringe" yet I can still hear people making racist comments in my own family, none of whom go to Nazi/KKK marches.

That historical context makes these bold marches a larger concern, because for every buffoon you see in that march, there are 10 "moderate buffoons", and 100 "moderate moderate buffoons", who walk around thinking because they're not a Nazi or KKK member, and don't own slaves, they're not racist, but who do hold very bias views.

These views translate into more convictions for black people faced with juries, they translate into more loan or job applications denied.

That's why a re-emboldened KKK/NeoNazi group is a concern. Dailystormer has 300,000 registered accounts, how many does Antifa have?

The US has never had a communist revolution, we haven't had people sent to Gulags or "reeducated" for failing to support The Party, or Marxism. But we have sent 150,000 people to camps for the crime of being Japanese. So radical leftists aren't exactly a scary threat, they seem even more buffoonish by far, the dead-enders still calling for communist ownership of everything.

So when I read right wing media reports about the so-called history of left-wing violence, I'm not very phased. I would be scared if say, I lived in eastern Europe.

But white supremacists are much more realistic threat to the US social fabric because so many people hold racist views, either overtly, or implicitly.

Imagine an Islamic theocracy which turned secular over time. Suddenly, religious conservatives are emboldened and start huge marches, and some violent opposition groups emerge. Should the majority of the population be fearful of the opposition, or a retreat back to a religious theocracy which say, 50% of the people in the rural areas aren't opposed to?

Historical context matters a lot, and the giant racial scar that still hasn't healed in America means that Antifa and the KKK are no where near equal in concern or guilt for damage to the social fabric.
So, a fairly simple change to this will bring down the time to a few ms (86 ms on my computer)

time yes | head -n1000000 | perl6 -e 'for $*IN.readchars { .subst("y", "n").print }’

Its slightly more complicated because I’m having it read the input in a chunk instead of on a per-line basis and I’m using subst on a literal instead of a regex.
Putin's goal is to do whatever benefits him. Sowing dissent and confusion in the US works to his benefit. I'm sure Russian intelligence had a hand in things, either directly or by proxy, but like any intelligence operation, creating distractions, promoting false leads and casting dispersion is part of the game. Putin was a KGB counter-intelligence officer. His administration is packed with ex KGB and FSB personnel. He knows what's he doing and Russia is playing our political divisions against us and manipulating us.

Man Rust is super hard already! I mean people told me it would be harder to think functionally but after clojure, i think lisps are super easy. But i feel Rust is way harder than anything. Infact i feel Haskell is comparatively easier than Rust. So i am not sure why one wants to use it for web. I think Rust has a place and that is to replace C++ for system software, possibly even C for writing Kernels because why not? But definitely not for web. Go is probably the right choice for that sort of performance scenario in the backend. But for frontend neither Go or Rust are good simply because of the huge size of the runtimes. Clojure-script comparatively has a smaller runtime than either Go or Rust runtimes compiled to JS.
Yes every field is of interest to its specialists. But the popular appeal is that comp sci promises the ultimate explanation of a materialistic reality. At least this was its appeal when I chose it for my major, and it drives the religious transhumanism and the AI hype and arguably the funding of IT. But if the public learns seemingly trivial problems are inherently intractable or impossible for computers, that glamorous spectacle will shatter.
I'm willing to go along with that.

I too would not be surprised if he favors Trump via omission rather than commission. Julian likely is severely allergic to establishment politicians because he rightfully sees them as two sides of the same coin who like Hillary see him as a US enemy, while Trump seems more pragmatic about it.
Thank you, Dan ;)
> OK, I'm curious: why are people shoehorning the filesystem to fit the OS rather than carefully picking the OS that makes the most sense for the application it's being used for?

Because the filesystem isn't the only feature of the OS that matters, and people often have more than one requirement. There are technical reasons to choose linux that have nothing to do with ext or xfs, and there are nontechnical reasons also. Just because someone has chosen linux doesn't mean they don't value their data.
Yeah. Every single action is tracked these days, and almost every channel is utilized as a marketing attempting; some channels are just very well disguised or they do provide some value/amusement that they are sort of welcome or at least tolerable.
http://blogs.intel.com/policy/2017/08/14/intel-ceo-leaves-ma...

Earlier today, I tendered my resignation from the American Manufacturing Council. I resigned to call attention to the serious harm our divided political climate is causing to critical issues, including the serious need to address the decline of American manufacturing. Politics and political agendas have sidelined the important mission of rebuilding America’s manufacturing base.

I have already made clear my abhorrence at the recent hate-spawned violence in Charlottesville, and earlier today I called on all leaders to condemn the white supremacists and their ilk who marched and committed violence. I resigned because I want to make progress, while many in Washington seem more concerned with attacking anyone who disagrees with them. We should honor – not attack – those who have stood up for equality and other cherished American values. I hope this will change, and I remain willing to serve when it does.

I am not a politician. I am an engineer who has spent most of his career working in factories that manufacture the world’s most advanced devices. Yet, it is clear even to me that nearly every issue is now politicized to the point where significant progress is impossible. Promoting American manufacturing should not be a political issue.

My request—my plea—to everyone involved in our political system is this: set scoring political points aside and focus on what is best for the nation as a whole. The current environment must change, or else our nation will become a shadow of what it once was and what it still can and should be.
>Both groups were behaving violently

I watched a decent amount of video on Twitter and Periscope of these protests and didn't see a single piece of evidence that showed violence incited by one of the counter protesters. I did see pictures and videos of the "Unite the Right" folks carrying guns, using hate speech, assaulting people, and committing terrorist acts. Do you have any evidence to show "both sides" inciting violence to the same degree or are you just repeating hearsay?
I see what you did there. :)

IDK, when you have a president who himself is all too eager to put an embarrassing show on display, regarding just about everything else he's encountered, from Schwarzenegger's ratings to Nordstrom's shoe line, to Vanity Fair restaurant reviews ... a weak-livered response on perhaps the most import topic in America right now ... speaks volumes.

Even that aside, saying "the only" adult in the room ... No matter what you think of the media, pretty much every other current or former US or foreign politician of any party had something less tardy-fifth-graderish to say on the subject.

I'm not a supporter, but seriously, his supporters voted him to be politically incorrect, right? If it's the infantada, then he should be getting up there and shouting "infantada!", right? Or "infantada! and white nationalists!", to be, whatever. I wouldn't agree with it, but I could understand it. Yet he gets on stage and makes about the most banal scripted disinterested unstudied PC statement imaginable, and then leaves without questions. I don't see where the support is coming from.

People in the intelligence community consider Snowden a Russian asset now. Russia could've flipped or co-opted Assange since the Bush years, or maybe it's only now coming out. Either way much of this stuff is classified, so we can't really know details one way or the other. But if you keep up with folks in the IC and look into how Russia does warfare, you see they've been doing this forever, and they're pros at it.
These people have to stop. They are the first to complain about doxxing and the first to label others as violent. But they themselves turn around and are violent and actively pursue doxxing.

Can you imagine how outraged these same people would be if the right doxxed people who attended LGBT parade and got them fired?

Also, their behavior isn't helping. It's just giving the right more power, attention and sympathy.

Honestly, if it wasn't for the extreme left going crazy over these marches, nobody would have cared. Let them have their silly marches. But they can't because they want attention and notoriety just like these marchers.
Quite honestly they all pale next to Steve Bannon, who predicts, if not outright advocates, an actual holy war with Islam. I wish that were hyperbole.
That's not true and you're not helping matters by spreading such disinformation.

People have tried that... specifically to show that women were being discriminated against, but guess what happened when it was implemented?

They found that contrary to their initial hypothesis, women with voices modulated to sound like men were still not getting hired at the same rate as the men masked to sound like women. Not only that, but they found women modulated to sound like men did worse than unmodulated women, and men modulated to sound like women did better than unmodulated men:

Not trying to obfuscate anything. Quite the opposite. Just laying the facts of the event out so we can put what the President said into an accurate context.
I fail to see the violence in torches, regardless, I'm not going to get into specifics of clothing choices, but you can wear a super man outfit, open carry if state laws allow, or put on a dildo helmet if you feel like it.

In our country you can protest in costumes if you'd like. Nothing states suit and tie only.

If a first response is to assault someone for what they are saying or wearing instead of acting civil, maybe this country and it's constitution isn't for them. This goes for anyone involved.

I have to agree. The neo-nazis you saw this weekend were always there. They just weren't cover by the media so it didn't get that much attention.

You want to see how powerful the media is? It's a great example. Whatever the news covers immediately becomes a national crisis. And vice versa, if the media doesn't cover it, nobody cares.

I can understand a more "private" service like Twitter blocking cyber bullying, but domain names are part of the infrastructure. People depend on them much more.
As usual, the answer probably lies somewhere in the middle. There are things you can control, and there are things that you can't. Improve the things you can, and don't feel bad for the things you can't.
